Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Artificial intelligence has transitioned from a peripheral innovation to a core infrastructure shaping higher education within a remarkably short period. While conceptual debates on AI ethics, pedagogy, and academic integrity are expanding, empirically grounded syntheses that consolidate global evidence remain limited. This study addresses this gap by providing an integrated cross-domain synthesis and statistically grounded overview of AI adoptio…
From principles to practice
Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping education by enabling adaptive learning, personalized feedback, and data-driven decision support. However, systematic tools to evaluate the ethical and pedagogical readiness of AI educational platforms remain limited, particularly in culturally specific contexts. This study addresses this gap by operationalizing the UNESCO Ethical Impact Assessment (EIA) Tool through the development of the Gu…
The impact of urban design on mental well-being by integrating green spaces in Doha City, Qatar
The fields of urban design and public health play an important role in the success and failure of the city. Research combining the two fields to improve citizens’ lives is rare, particularly in a rapidly developing city like Doha. This study highlights the urban planning efforts of the municipality of Doha city to improve the mental health of its citizens and aims to understand the impact of urban design elements on mental health by analyzing the…
Transit-Oriented Development in Middle Eastern Cities
Cities around the world are evolving dramatically due to urbanization. Over the last few decades, rapid urbanization coupled with rapid economic growth in Qatar has resulted in transport-related issues such as urban sprawl, traffic congestion, poor walkability, and an increasingly inefficient transit network lacking pedestrian accessibility and connectivity. The related sprawl (due to a lack of compactness), a lack of intricacy, and connectivity …
Air pollution burden of disease over highly populated states in the Middle East
Background Recent epidemiological research has proven that air pollution triggers the risk of morbidity and mortality due to respiratory and cardiovascular-related diseases. More specifically, fine particulate matter with a diameter of <2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) can penetrate deeply into the lung and bloodstream, causing critical adverse effects on human health. Objective It is found that there is inadequate published research related to the health impact…
Investigation of Spatial and Cultural Features in Contemporary Qatari Housing
Housing is a basic human need and a fundamental component of settlement status. The architectural form and spatial provisions of housing evolve in line with—and transform to meet—a specific era’s needs. Globalization has been responsible for changing the nature of housing in Qatar over the last thirty years. It has led to a standardization of construction methods and built form, representing a dramatic departure from past models of vernacular res…
The impact of Covid-19-induced lockdowns during spring 2020 on nitrogen dioxide levels over major American counties
COVID-19 has quickly spread throughout the world, infecting and killing millions of people. In an effort to contain the spread of the virus, many governments implemented stringent lockdown measures. These lockdown restrictions, coupled with social distancing, severely curtailed transportation and industrial activities, which are the primary drivers of nitrogen oxides emissions. This study investigates whether lockdown orders in the United States …
