Total Quality Management (TQM) and its Role in Achieving School Accreditation Standards in Public Education Schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
type: item
description: This research aimed to analyze the role of Total Quality Management (TQM) in activating school accreditation standards in public education schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It examined the relationship between TQM principles and school accreditation requirements, analyzed the Saudi public education context in light of quality and accreditation trends, and identified ways to benefit from continuous improvement, institutional participation, stakeholder focus, and data-based decision-making. The research adopted the documentary/library method by analyzing educational literature, official documents, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicated that school accreditation represents a practical application of TQM principles; however, its effectiveness depends on transforming it from a formal procedure based on collecting evidence into a sustainable institutional practice reflected in learning outcomes. The results also revealed several challenges, including administrative centralization, weak quality culture, limited professional qualification, and excessive paperwork requirements. The research recommended adopting the Lean Digital Accreditation model, enhancing school autonomy, and building a quality culture grounded in excellence and continuous improvement to support the achievement of Saudi Vision 2030 objectives.

Spatial Modeling of Land Degradation Index (LDI) Using Geographic Artificial Intelligence in Al-Anbar Governorate – Iraq
type: item
description: This study aims to monitor, assess, and analyze Land Degradation (LDI) in the study area for the year 2025 using remote sensing techniques. The study was based on extracting a set of environmental indicators, namely NDBSI, NDMI, NDVI, and LST, for the years 2015 and 2025. These indicators were integrated to produce the 2025 land degradation map. In addition, a predictive modeling approach was conducted to forecast land degradation for the year 2030 using Geographic Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) in order to understand the temporal trends of environmental change and identify the future trajectory of land degradation within the study area. The prediction results generated by the Random Forest model indicated an increase in the area classified as moderate land degradation from 60.79% in 2025 to 66.90% in 2030, while the area experiencing high land degradation is projected to increase from 0.07% to 1.30%. These findings suggest a future trend toward intensified land degradation if the current environmental conditions persist.

Linguistic levels and their semantic manifestations in Ka‘b ibn Zuhayr’s poem “Banat Su‘ad”
type: item
description: This study aims to investigate the linguistic levels and their semantic manifestations in Ka‘b ibn Zuhayr’s poem “Banat Su‘ad”, through a linguistic and analytical approach that examines the interaction among phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexical, semantic, and rhetorical levels, and explores their contribution to meaning construction and the formation of the poetic experience. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach, complemented by a contextual approach, by analyzing linguistic phenomena within their textual contexts, identifying their semantic, aesthetic, and psychological functions, and relating them to the overall structure of the poem. The findings demonstrate that the poem is based on an integrated linguistic structure in which its various levels interact to produce meaning. The phonological and rhythmic dimensions contribute significantly to expressing the poet’s psychological transformations, while morphological forms and syntactic structures organize the temporal and semantic movement of the text. The lexical and semantic analysis further reveals the multiplicity and interrelation of semantic fields, particularly those associated with separation, longing, journey, fear, strength, apology, praise, security, and reassurance. The study also demonstrates that rhetorical imagery does not merely serve an aesthetic function; rather, it plays a fundamental role in intensifying meaning and embodying the poet’s psychological experience. The study concludes that the multiplicity of poetic purposes in “Banat Su‘ad” does not undermine its organic and semantic unity, as its various sections are integrated within a gradual psychological trajectory that begins with separation and longing, proceeds through journey, fear, and anxiety, and ultimately culminates in apology, hope, security, and reassurance. The study argues that analyzing linguistic levels provides an effective approach to uncovering the deeper structure of poetic texts and illuminating th…

Personal Data Protection Laws in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Their Impact on the Development of Digital Media Applications
type: item
description: This study analyses the legal framework for personal data protection in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—represented by the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) issued by Royal Decree No. (M/19), its amendments and Implementing Regulations—and examines its impact on the development of digital media applications, comparing it with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to identify points of convergence and divergence. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical and comparative approach based on the analysis of legislative texts, regulations, scholarly literature and specialised reports, and draws on Communication Privacy Management (CPM) theory to interpret the relationship between users and applications in light of the privacy variable. The study concludes that the Saudi law represents a significant legislative milestone that aligns with many international standards—in its reliance on consent, the rights it affords data subjects, its security and breach-notification requirements, and its regulation of cross-border transfers—overseen by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) through a body of regulations, guidelines and sanctions. Nevertheless, the law imposes on digital-media application developers challenges relating to technical and regulatory compliance, to balancing data minimisation with content personalisation, to the cost of compliance for start-ups, and to cross-border transfers and reliance on third-party services. The study recommends strengthening the regulatory framework and issuing practical guidelines, providing technical and legal support to developers, embedding privacy by design, and raising legal awareness, so as to support a secure digital media environment consistent with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.

The Dialectic of Presence and Absence of Theatre in Arab Culture
type: item
description: This study examines the dialectic of presence and absence in Arab theatre as one of the central issues in Arab critical discourse. It explores the debate surrounding the existence of theatre in Arab culture by examining the divergent critical perspectives that either affirm its deep roots in the Arab cultural heritage or regard it as a modern phenomenon that emerged through contact with the West. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate the theatrical phenomenon and trace its historical and intellectual development, beginning with the performative and spectacular forms embedded in the Arab heritage, followed by the formative stages of modern Arab theatre, and then addressing the issues of identity, authenticity, and Arabization, before finally considering the current state of Arab theatre and the prospects for its presence in light of contemporary cultural and technological transformations. The study concludes that the dialectic of presence and absence is not primarily a question of affirming or denying the existence of theatre; rather, it stems from differing conceptions of theatre and the criteria by which it is defined. It further argues that many traditional forms constitute performative and spectacular precursors that do not meet the institutional and artistic requirements of theatre in its modern sense. Although modern Arab theatre has succeeded in establishing a significant cultural presence, it continues to face challenges related to identity, social effectiveness, and its ability to renew its expressive forms and respond to contemporary transformations, thereby strengthening its role as a cultural practice that contributes to the production of knowledge, the development of critical awareness, and the promotion of dialogue.

The role of artificial intelligence in digital media disinformation and its implications for security decision-making strategies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
type: item
description: This research examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in amplifying the phenomenon of digital disinformation and its implications for security decision-making strategies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study begins with the increasing use of generative AI techniques in producing highly realistic and misleading digital content, such as synthetic texts, fake images, deepfake videos, and algorithmically and robotically driven digital campaigns. This makes distinguishing between genuine and fabricated content increasingly difficult. The study's significance lies in the connection between digital disinformation and national and information security. The dissemination of misleading or distorted information can influence public opinion, disrupt the information environment, and weaken the quality of security decisions if based on inaccurate data. The study focuses on the Saudi context within the framework of the Kingdom's rapid digital transformation under Vision 2030, and the accompanying increasing reliance on data and modern technologies to support security decision-making. This study aims to analyze the role of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in producing and disseminating digital disinformation, identifying its most prominent forms and methods, and measuring its impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of security decision-making. It also seeks to assess the readiness of security institutions and decision-makers to confront these threats. Furthermore, the study aims to propose practical mechanisms to mitigate the impact of digital disinformation by enhancing technological awareness, developing early detection tools, and employing counter-AI technologies within the national security framework.

Parental Perceptions of the Impact of Having a Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder on Siblings’ Marriage Prospects: A Field Study in Ramallah, Palestine
type: item
description: This study examined parental perceptions of how having a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may influence the marriage prospects of other children in the same family in Ramallah, Palestine. The topic is socially sensitive in a context where marriage remains closely tied to family reputation, kinship networks, and long-term social security. A descriptive-analytical design was used. Data were collected from 50 parents of children with ASD through a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics and four substantive domains: psychological impact, social impact, economic burden, and family adaptation. Descriptive analysis showed consistently high levels of psychological stress, future-oriented worry, and emotional exhaustion among parents. Respondents also reported substantial social pressure, including reduced participation in community life, perceived lack of social acceptance, and concern that the presence of a child with ASD could negatively affect the marriage opportunities of siblings. Economic strain was another prominent pattern, with families reporting heavy therapy and rehabilitation costs and, in some cases, reduced work participation by one caregiver. At the same time, many families described adaptive responses, including shared caregiving responsibilities, the development of coping strategies, and stronger internal family solidarity. The findings suggest that the perceived effect on siblings’ marriage prospects is shaped less by autism itself than by stigma, misconceptions about heredity, and community attitudes toward disability. The paper recommends awareness initiatives, psychosocial support for families, and policy measures that reduce stigma and strengthen inclusion in Palestinian society.

The relationship between the emotional intelligence of managers and digital burnout among teachers in light of the digital transformation of education in Lebanon
type: item
description: The study aimed to examine the relationship between a principal's emotional intelligence and teachers' digital burnout in the context of Lebanon's digital transformation of education. A mixed-methods approach was adopted—specifically, a sequential explanatory design. The quantitative component employed a descriptive-correlational method to describe the relationship between the two variables using a questionnaire, while the qualitative component utilized a descriptive-analytical method to analyze responses from interviews with principals. The study population consisted of a simple random sample of 231 intermediate-level teachers from selected schools, whereas the purpose of the interviews comprised five intermediate school principals. A questionnaire, designed specifically for the study, was distributed to the participants. The results revealed a relationship between the principal's emotional intelligence and teachers' digital burnout at significance levels of α=0.01 and α=0.05. A statistically significant inverse effect of emotional intelligence on digital burnout was observed, with a regression coefficient B = -0.398 (t = -5.697); this effect is supported by the 95% BCa confidence intervals, which range from -0.529 to —0.255 and do not include zero. Furthermore, the results indicated an inverse correlation between the principal's ability to regulate emotions and teachers' digital burnout, with a correlation coefficient of -0.151. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in teachers' digital burnout by gender, as the p-value was 0.817 (greater than 0.05). Similarly, regarding the experience variable, the significance value was 0.831 (greater than 0.05). However, regarding the skill level variable, the results showed statistically significant differences in teachers' digital burnout, with a significance value of 0.006 (less than 0.05). The study offered several recommendations, including organizing training programs and workshops for school princ…

Hybridization between Music and Image in Cinema: A Medio-logical Approach
type: item
description: When the eye meets the ear, a hybrid artistic form is born, where visual and auditory languages merge to create new forms of expression. " The concept of hybridity, in its original linguistic sense, refers to the combination of two distinct elements to produce a new composite form that brings together their respective characteristics. This concept has moved from the field of biology to the domains of the humanities and the arts, becoming one of the fundamental notions for understanding the transformations of contemporary creativity and the intersection of artistic genres and media. Cinema, as a composite art form based on the interaction of image, sound, movement, and time, represents one of the most significant fields in which artistic hybridization processes are manifested. This research examines the hybridity between the two media of music and image within cinematic discourse, by analysing the interactive relationship between the auditory and visual dimensions. This relationship is not limited to mere accompaniment or parallelism; rather, it contributes to the shared production of aesthetic and expressive meaning. The study is guided by a central research question: How does the hybridization of music and image contribute to the production of a cinematic language that transcends traditional boundaries between the arts? And how can this interaction be understood through the mediological approach of Régis Debray, which considers the medium not merely as a vehicle for meaning, but as an active element in its production and in shaping modes of perception and reception?

The Impact of a Counseling Training Program on Developing Psychological Hardiness and Decision-Making Accuracy among Iraqi Football Referees
type: item
description: The Impact of a Counseling Training Program on Developing Psychological Hardiness and Decision-Making Accuracy among Iraqi Football Referees. Psychological preparation is a decisive factor for football referees in managing matches and coping with increasing pressures. Psychological hardiness acts as a protective shield, enabling referees to view difficulties as challenges rather than threats. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed counseling training program in developing psychological hardiness dimensions (Commitment, Control, and Challenge) and enhancing decision-making accuracy among Iraqi football referees. An experimental approach was employed using an equal-groups design (experimental and control) with pre- and post-tests. The sample consisted of (50) first-class referees in Baghdad. Data were collected using the Psychological Hardiness Scale (Mukhaimer, 2006), a cognitive test for officiating situations, and an international decision-making accuracy form. Findings revealed significant post-test improvements in the experimental group, with overall psychological hardiness and decision-making accuracy levels increasing substantially compared to the control group. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the development of commitment/challenge dimensions and enhanced decision accuracy. Conclusion: The proposed counseling program effectively contributes to building referees' psychological stability, leading to higher field performance quality and faster information processing without hesitation.

Obstacles to Strategic Planning at the Higher Institute for Teacher Training in Abéché, Chad
type: item
description: This study investigated the obstacles to strategic planning at the Higher Institute for Teacher Training in Abéché, Chad. A descriptive-analytical research design was employed, and data were collected from a randomly selected sample of 56 participants using a structured questionnaire. Secondary data were obtained from relevant literature and documentary sources. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), applying descriptive statistical techniques, including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. The findings indicate that all identified obstacles to strategic planning exerted a moderate level of influence, with an overall mean score of 2.32. Technical obstacles emerged as the most significant, particularly the limited capacity to use modern technologies and equipment and the inability to keep pace with contemporary developments required for effective strategic planning. Human resource obstacles ranked second and included a shortage of qualified personnel to implement strategic plans and the limited involvement of teachers in the strategic planning process. Administrative obstacles were reflected in the prioritization of short-term operational objectives over long-term strategic goals. Organizational obstacles ranked last and were associated with the failure to prioritize strategic planning as an institutional function and the limited participation of different administrative units in the development of strategic plans.

The Geography of Smart Cities: A Review of Urban Frameworks, Infrastructures, and Socio-Spatial Challenges
type: item
description: The concept of smart city has moved from a technology-driven marketing narrative to an established paradigm in contemporary urban geography and planning. This analysis critically investigates the geographical features of smart city development and how digital infrastructures are transforming urban areas, socio-spatial interactions and governance systems. This study provides a comprehensive geographical framework for comprehending smart cities in terms of urban morphology, spatial justice, digital inequalities and territorial governance through a systematic examination of more than 80 peer-reviewed papers (2015-2026). Three central geographical issues are discussed in the review: first, the development of uneven urban landscapes characterised by differential access and participation through smart city technologies; second, the spatial distribution of digital infrastructures as a reflection and reproduction of existing socio-economic inequalities; and third, the need for place-based approaches sensitive to local cultural, economic and geographic specificities in successful implementation of smart city initiatives. The study finishes with a discussion of key objectives for future research in geography on smart urbanism, including the importance of comparative spatial analysis, a focus on ordinary urban experiences and the convergence of sustainability and justice agendas.

The effect of the enhanced cluster learning strategy on formal thinking in mathematics among middle school female students
type: item
description: The current research aims to investigate the effect of the enhanced cluster learning strategy on formal thinking in mathematics among middle school female students. To achieve this objective, the experimental method was employed, and the study was conducted during the first semester of the 2024/2025 academic year on a stratified random sample. The sample consisted of 80 second-grade female students from Al-Muruj Al-Khadraa Secondary School, affiliated with the Baghdad Al-Rusafa II Directorate of Education. The sample was divided equally into two groups: 40 students in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. The equivalence of the two groups was verified using an intelligence test and a prior knowledge test. The researcher employed a post-formal thinking test, which included 20 multiple-choice items. The validity and reliability of the test were confirmed. The students' responses were analyzed using an independent samples t-test. The results indicated that the mean score of the experimental group was 12.90 with a standard deviation of 3.801, while the control group had a mean score of 6.93 with a standard deviation of 3.504. The calculated t-value was 7.310, which is higher than the critical t-value of 2 at a significance level of 0.05 and a degree of freedom of 78. The result indicates that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in the post-test of formal thinking skills. The researcher suggested using the improved cluster learning strategy for teaching mathematics to students of all ages, helping them learn formal thinking skills and how to use them, emphasizing methods that build formal thinking, and taking into account the number of students when creating math programs.

Family Counseling and Its Role in Addressing the Phenomenon of Divorce: A Descriptive-Analytical Study on a Sample of Clients at Mawaddah Family Development Association in Jeddah
type: item
description: This study aimed to identify the prominent causes of divorce from the perspective of social workers and family counselors in Saudi society. It also sought to determine the post-divorce repercussions on the family and examine the role of family counseling in mitigating this phenomenon. The study adopted the social survey method as an appropriate research methodology. A questionnaire was utilized as the primary tool for data collection, administered to a sample of (30) practitioners and specialists in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed that the most significant cause of divorce lies in separation occurring after a long marriage due to the accumulation of unresolved issues, which ranked first with a mean of (2.91). Furthermore, the most prominent post-divorce effect on the family was the compounded negative impact on children's stability in the event of weak regulatory agreements between parents, with a mean of (2.87). The results also indicated that the role of family counseling emerges as a decisive factor in reducing divorce, led by the importance of having highly qualified family practitioners and counselors, which yielded a high mean of (2.93). Additionally, the findings showed that all items under the dimension of family counseling’s role in mitigating divorce received a general response level of "Agree." Based on these results, the study recommended the necessity of activating joint coordination pathways between judicial authorities and family counseling centers. It also emphasized designing intensive rehabilitation and therapeutic programs that enhance conflict-resolution and dispute-management skills for spouses, addressing a potential lack of family awareness regarding these aspects.

The Emirati Family as a Protective System: The Sociology of Intellectual Immunity in the Face of Fluidity in Contemporary Religious Discourse
type: item
description: This study examines the Emirati family as a protective social system confronting what has come to be known as the "fluidity of contemporary religious discourse" - a condition in which stable intellectual and religious reference points recede under the pressure of digital openness and the accelerating flow of information. This phenomenon generates multiplicity of channels, diversity of platforms, and fragmented responses, leaving individuals susceptible to rapidly shifting and contradictory ideas. The study proceeds from the premise that the family, as the primary social institution, plays a pivotal role in building a value system and shaping sound religious awareness, thereby contributing to the intellectual immunisation of individuals against the unstable ideological influences generated by digital globalisation and the proliferation of religious knowledge sources. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical methodology supported by an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. This involved two complementary phases: a quantitative phase using a questionnaire administered to a sample of thirty guardians, and a qualitative phase comprising semi-structured interviews with ten to fifteen specialists from relevant governmental and academic bodies. Findings revealed a high degree of "cognitive vigilance" among Emirati families, with 83.3% demonstrating awareness of the risks of digital fluidity and the proliferation of reference sources. At the same time, the study identified a significant "practice gap": actual digital monitoring did not exceed 53.3%, and 71% of guardians reported deficiencies in digital privacy skills. Results further indicated a high level of trust in official national institutions, reaching 80%, reinforcing an integrative model that links the family system to the institutional apparatus of the state. The study produced a proposed strategic framework entitled "The Fortified Fortress" (Al-Hisn Al-Haseen), grounded in five principles: protective empow…

title: The Technological Approaches and Their Role in Developing Speaking and Writing Skills among Learners of the Arabic Language: A Descriptive and Analytical Study in Consideration of the Challenges of Digital Integration
description: Computing represents one of the most significant modern technological media, playing a vital role in fostering creative thinking, problem-solving, and learner skill development. Language education is a field that demands constant renewal and innovation in the processes of knowledge delivery and acquisition through the most advanced contemporary methods, with the goal of achieving effective and sustainable learning. Many world languages have successfully attained their pedagogical objectives through the integration of modern technological tools, most notably English, which serves as a living model of such success. Owing to its global reach, adaptability, and linguistic flexibility, English has become deeply embedded in diverse linguistic communities, exerting a profound influence across all spheres of life and solidifying its status as a dominant global language (Crystal, 2012; Warschauer, 2013). By contrast, the Arabic language today faces a series of crises and challenges, particularly in its teaching and learning, and especially among non-native speakers (Alrabai, 2020). The acquisition of any language relies fundamentally on the mastery of its core skills; therefore, this study focuses on the productive skills, speaking and writing, as the primary communicative channels that manifest the learner’s ability to express meaning both orally and in written form (Bygate, 2018). Through a descriptive and analytical lens, this research explores how technological approaches can enhance these skills within the broader framework of digital integration, highlighting pedagogical implications for Arabic language instruction in the modern era.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the transformations introduced by generative artificial intelligence into patterns of media disinformation within the digital environment of Saudi Arabia, and to examine their implications for digital credibility in terms of information accuracy, source independence, and public trust. The study is grounded in a central research problem: the growing ability of generative models to produce hyper-realistic textual and visual content, including fake news, deepfakes, and algorithmically targeted messages. Such developments have made it increasingly difficult to distinguish between truth and fabrication, posing unprecedented professional, ethical, and epistemic challenges for media institutions and digital audiences. The study adopts a media survey method within a descriptive-analytical framework, using a questionnaire as the main tool for collecting quantitative data from a representative sample of social media users in Saudi Arabia. The proposed sample size consists of 384 respondents, determined according to the Krejcie and Morgan formula. The study focuses on measuring users’ exposure to forms of automated disinformation, assessing the impact of generative AI on the dimensions of digital credibility, and exploring users’ perceptions of verification practices and information literacy in confronting synthetic media manipulation. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to bridging a research gap in Arabic and Saudi media scholarship concerning the relationship between generative AI and media disinformation. It also provides an analytical framework that may assist media institutions and policymakers in understanding the risks of synthetic disinformation and in developing technological and awareness-based strategies to strengthen digital credibility and protect the Saudi media space in alignment with national digital transformation and Saudi Vision 2030.

Social Conflict and the Struggle for Power: A Weberian Reading of Marsha Norman’s Selected Plays
type: item
description: This paper will examine the depiction of conflict within Getting Out (1977) and ‘night, Mother (1982) written by Marsha Norman using the ideas of Max Weber. In spite of the fact that much of the existing literature on these plays focuses on the feminist and psychoanalytic approaches, this research proposes a sociological analysis of the works and will show how the conflict becomes entrenched within the structure of social relations. The study is based on a qualitative interpretative method that relies on textual analysis. Certain scenes of the plays will be chosen to reveal the nature of the conflict and its social causes. These will be defined according to the basic categories of Weber’s sociology, such as class, status, power, domination, and legitimation. It is clear that conflicts in both plays emerge on different levels including interpersonal, family, and societal and have much to do with structural inequality. While Getting Out focuses on conflict as an outside phenomenon when the protagonist tries to gain autonomy and be reintegrated into society amidst resistance, ‘night, Mother features a conflict on an internal level, resulting in self-destruction because of the lack of agency and social repression. As shown from the findings, conflict is an inseparable part of social life but can result in either success or tragedy based on whether people can resist and have adequate resources. As can be seen, the study makes a valuable contribution to literature studies through introducing a Weberian theoretical analysis of Norman’s plays which creates a connection between sociology and literary studies.

title: The Efficacy of Moral Education and the Concept of the "Circle of Trust" in Reinforcing the Digital and Intellectual Security of the Child: An Analytical Study of the "Roblox" Environment and Interactive Platforms
description: This study analyzed the effectiveness of moral education and the concept of the "Circle of Trust" in enhancing the digital and intellectual security of children, using the Roblox platform and interactive platforms as a model. The research problem stemmed from the gap resulting from accelerated digital transformation and the emergence of novel intellectual and behavioral threats (such as grooming, social engineering, and dark patterns) that bypass traditional control mechanisms, exploiting the characteristics of User-Generated Content (UGC). The study adopted an integrated descriptive-analytical approach combined with direct scientific observation and content analysis tools, in addition to the inductive method to track and analyze three documented real-world cases. The study reached pivotal results, most notably: the failure of automated algorithmic monitoring systems to detect coded language and ideological symbols, and the existence of a close correlation between the success of digital grooming and the collapse of the "Secure Base" within the family. The study concluded that the child's self-cognitive and moral immunization takes precedence over forced prohibition policies, and it presented a proposed preventive intervention matrix (Circle of Trust) graduated across three levels: Self, Family, and Trusted Digital Community.
