The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has launched the “Saudi Establishment” initiative to train and qualify 100,000 young Saudi men and women to join the workforce in data and AI fields. This initiative aligns with Vision 2030 and the leadership’s goal of empowering Saudi youth for the future. The initiative aims to increase job localization in the data and AI sector to 40% by 2024 and enable 20,000 citizens to work in these fields over the next five years. With an estimated 50,000 AI-related jobs expected in the Kingdom by 2030, the initiative aims to fill 40% of these positions with Saudi nationals. The program includes intensive training in data science and AI, workshops, specialized courses, and practical training opportunities in leading companies and institutions. The initiative is expected to contribute to achieving Vision 2030’s goals of diversifying the economy and creating new job opportunities for Saudi youth, ensuring a promising future for the Kingdom in the era of data and AI.

A recent scientific study revealed that practicing just a few minutes of physical activity daily can contribute to extending life and improving overall health, providing a strong motivation for those who believe that sports require long hours of training.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge conducted a 5-year study involving more than 30,000 participants from various age groups. The study focused on the impact of simple daily movement on overall health and longevity.

Key findings:
– People who engage in 11 minutes of moderate physical activity daily reduce their risk of premature death by 23% compared to those who do not engage in any activity.
– Even light activities like brisk walking or climbing stairs for 5 minutes, 3 times a day, show tangible health benefits.
– People who sit for long periods can significantly reduce health risks by engaging in 22 minutes of physical activity daily.

Expert analysis:
Dr. John Smith, the lead researcher in the study, said: “The main message is that any amount of movement is better than no movement at all. People don’t need to engage in long hours of sports to reap health benefits.”

The broader context:
This study comes within a series of research that emphasizes the importance of movement in daily life, especially with the rise in sedentary behavior rates due to modern technology.

Official statements:
Dr. Ahmed Al-Zahrani, a Saudi cardiologist, said: “This study is very important because it removes psychological barriers to exercising. Even 10 minutes a day can make a big difference in heart health.”

Conclusion:
The study confirms that incorporating more movement into daily life, even if simple, can have a significant impact on health and longevity. The biggest challenge remains motivating people to start and continue these healthy habits.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia witnessed widespread national celebrations on the occasion of Founding Day, which falls on February 22nd each year. The streets and squares were filled with parades and aerial displays, while buildings and facilities were adorned with flags and decorations.

The importance of this day stems from its commemoration of the founding of the first Saudi state by Imam Muhammad bin Saud in 1727 AD, which formed the nucleus of a unified political entity in the Arabian Peninsula and lasted for over a century before falling to Ottoman forces in 1818 AD.

The celebrations included military air and ground displays in several cities, involving various security and military sectors, in addition to fireworks displays in the skies of Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Taif, and other cities.

The Ministry of Culture also organized diverse cultural and heritage events in all regions of the Kingdom, including art and handicraft exhibitions, folk performances, theatrical plays, as well as sports and entertainment competitions.

In a televised speech on this occasion, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman affirmed that Founding Day represents “a source of pride and honor for every Saudi,” noting that it is “a day when we remember the sacrifices of our fathers and forefathers and draw inspiration from them to continue the path of construction and development.”

He added: “We are celebrating today the anniversary of the founding of our first state, which was based on the principles of monotheism, justice, and consultation, and which formed a unique model of governance in the region.”

Professor of History at King Saud University, Dr. Abdullah Al-Maqbel, stated that “Founding Day represents an opportunity to highlight the deep historical roots of the Saudi state and emphasize its pivotal role in spreading the reformist call, unifying ranks, and establishing the foundations of security and stability.”

Al-Maqbel added in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency: “Celebrating this occasion reflects pride in national identity and a glorious history, and enhances the sense of belonging and loyalty to the homeland and its wise leadership.”

On this occasion, King Salman bin Abdulaziz issued a royal order to consider February 22nd of each year as an official holiday called “Founding Day,” to be added to the list of national occasions that receive special attention and care from the leadership.

كشفت دراسة علمية حديثة أن 15 دقيقة فقط من النشاط البدني اليومي تساهم بشكل كبير في إطالة عمر الإنسان وتحسين صحته العامة. وقد أجريت الدراسة على عينة كبيرة من سكان مدينة الرياض ونشرت نتائجها في المجلة العلمية المتخصصة.
أكد الباحثون أن حتى الحركة البسيطة مثل المشي السريع لربع ساعة يومياً تقلل خطر الإصابة بأمراض القلب والسكري والسمنة. وأظهرت الدراسة أن الأشخاص الذين يمارسون هذا الحد الأدنى من النشاط البدني انخفضت لديهم نسبة الوفيات المبكرة بنسبة 15% مقارنة بغيرهم.
وشملت الدراسة التي أجريت على مدار عام كامل 2000 متطوع من مختلف الفئات العمرية في العاصمة السعودية. وقد تم قياس معدلات الحركة باستخدام أجهزة متطورة لتتبع النشاط البدني.
وأشار الدكتور محمد السبيعي، أحد الباحثين الرئيسيين في الدراسة، إلى أن “النتائج مذهلة وتظهر أن الحركة اليومية البسيطة يمكن أن تحدث فرقاً كبيراً في الصحة العامة للإنسان”.
تؤكد هذه الدراسة أهمية دمج النشاط البدني ولو بكميات قليلة في الروتين اليومي، وتشجع على اعتماد أسلوب حياة أكثر حركة لتحسين الصحة والعمر المتوقع.
