Publication Image Manipulation Detection System: Exposing AI-Generated Image Forgeries(EFFAT university)Image Manipulation Detection System The rapid advancement of AI technologies has brought about a new era of dig- ital creativity, enabling the creation and manipulation of images. However, this progress also presents a double-edged sword as it opens avenues for misuse, particu- larly in the fabrication of digital imagery for malicious purposes. The development of effective image manipulation detection systems is crucial in safeguarding against the growing problem of digital image fraud. This project aims to develop a sophis- ticated image manipulation detection system, designed for integration into both a web application and a Chrome extension. The tool will be an essential weapon in the fight against the spread of misleading visual content, providing users with a reliable way to verify the authenticity of images they encounter online. We will employ an advanced algorithm and train a machine learning model to distinguish between authentic and manipulated images. The application will include a feature for users to upload images, after which the system will analyze and determine the authenticity of the submitted image. The results, indicating whether the image is genuine or altered, will then be displayed to the user.Publication Publication Publication Aqualympia Jeddah Hub(Effat University)Aqualypia Jeddah Hub is an Olympic-standard aquatic and recreational complex strategically located along the Red Sea coast in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Conceived as a multifunctional destination, the project merges elite sports facilities with public leisure spaces, aiming to position Jeddah as a regional leader in aquatic sports, tourism, and community engagement. The design accommodates competitive swimming, diving, and water polo venues, alongside retail, dining, and entertainment amenities, creating a balanced mix of high-performance athletic spaces and inclusive recreational environments. The architectural concept is inspired by the dynamic movement of ocean waves, expressed through fluid massing that unites three primary zones — the Competition Zone, Training and Recreation Zone, and Entertainment and Retail Zone — around a central lobby that serves as both a circulation hub and a public gathering space. This form not only reflects the project’s coastal identity but also optimizes natural lighting, ventilation, and sea views. This thesis situates the project within the broader ambitions of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in advancing healthy lifestyles, fostering sports culture, and developing tourism infrastructure. The hub addresses pressing climatic challenges in Jeddah’s hot and humid environment through integrated sustainability measures, including passive cooling, energy-efficient mechanical systems, and water recycling networks that connect pool operations to a sustainable sea–pool exchange cycle. Accessibility, inclusivity, and safety have been embedded into the design to ensure that the facility caters to a diverse user base, from professional athletes to families and tourists. The research is organized into five main chapters. Chapter one introduces the project theme, vision, and objectives, defining its role as both a seasonal Olympic competition venue and a year-round recreational hub. Chapter two examines international case studies of aquatic sports facilities, analyzing their spatial planning, circulation patterns, environmental strategies, and architectural expressions to inform the design’s conceptual and technical framework. Chapter three outlines the optimized program derived from functional requirements, international standards, and user needs, detailing spaces for athletes, spectators, visitors, and support staff. Chapter four addresses site analysis and selection, including environmental assessments such as climate data, solar orientation, prevailing winds, and urban integration. Chapter five presents the design process, from conceptual development to schematic design, zoning, and spatial articulation, followed by comprehensive technical documentation covering structure, HVAC systems, and sustainability features. The chapter concludes with architectural drawings, physical and digital models, and final renders that visualize the project’s intended experience and identity. The outcome of this thesis is a design that harmonizes competitive sport, public leisure, and sustainable tourism, delivering a multifunctional hub that serves as a landmark for Jeddah and the Kingdom. By integrating environmental responsiveness, cultural relevance, and economic viability, Aqualypia Jeddah Hub not only meets the technical and spatial demands of an Olympic-standard facility but also enriches the city’s social and cultural landscape, contributing to its global positioning as a coastal destination for sports excellence and recreation.Publication the role of incubators and accelerators in women entrepreneurial success in saudi arabiaThe study investigates the impact of incubators and accelerators on women entrepreneurial success in Saudi Arabia using 80 entrepreneurs on incubators and accelerators program sample size and descriptive data analysis. The study used primary data, and the questionnaire serves as the source of data generation. The survey was based on the online questionnaire created to extract insight into participant’s viewpoints on the influence of incubators and accelerators on women entrepreneurial success. The findings of the study reveal that very significant percentage of the respondents receive very high benefit from incubator and accelerator programs in Saudi Arabia. The outcome also illustrates that various challenges were identified including limited access to funding, time constraints, program structure and lack of support. This study contributes to a better understanding of incubators and accelerators towards success in women entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the study suggest that policymakers and stockholders should design polices that focus more on incubator and accelerators programs in Saudi Arabia, through improved financial support and enabling conditions that can allow and encourage the engagement of entrepreneur especially women in Saudi Arabia.
