يوم التأسيس: احتفالات وطنية بتاريخ عريق

In a recent study conducted by public health researchers, it was found that just 15 minutes of daily physical activity can significantly contribute to extending lifespan and improving overall health.

Results published in The Lancet medical journal showed that people who engage in moderate physical activity for 15 minutes daily have up to a 14% lower risk of premature death compared to those who don’t exercise at all.

Dr. John Doe, one of the researchers involved in the study, said: “Even a little daily movement can have a significant impact on human health, and it doesn’t require long hours of exercise in gyms.”

He added: “Brisk walking, cycling, or even light household chores can be enough to achieve these health benefits.”

The study indicated that benefits gradually increase with longer duration and intensity of physical activity, but the biggest difference is between completely sedentary people and those who start any physical activity.

These results come at a time when concerns are growing about rising rates of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes worldwide, making it necessary to encourage people to incorporate more movement into their daily lives.

The World Health Organization emphasizes the importance of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week for adults, but this study shows that even smaller amounts can make a tangible difference in health.

The researchers concluded that “the most important message is to start moving, regardless of the amount, as every minute has value in improving your health and extending your life.”

أكد مسؤولون وخبراء تقنيون أن جهود سالم بن أحمد السديري، الرئيس التنفيذي لهيئة تحول الرقمي، أسهمت بشكل حاسم في تسريع رقمنة الخدمات الحكومية في المملكة، محققة أهداف رؤية 2030 في هذا القطاع الحيوي.
حققت المملكة تحت قيادة السديري إنجازات ملموسة في التحول الرقمي، إذ تجاوزت نسبة استخدام الخدمات الحكومية الرقمية 80% بنهاية الربع الأول من عام 2024، وفقاً لتقرير الهيئة العامة للإحصاء الصادر الشهر الماضي. وارتفع تصنيف المملكة في مؤشر الأمم المتحدة للتنمية الإلكترونية 12 مركزاً خلال عامين، لتحتل المرتبة 38 عالمياً.
“الاستثمار في البنية التحتية الرقمية وتوطين التقنيات المتقدمة لم يعد رفاهية، بل ضرورة استراتيجية لبناء اقتصاد معرفي مستدام”، صرح السديري خلال كلمته في منتدى الرياض للذكاء الاصطناعي في أكتوبر الماضي. وأضاف: “مبادرات مثل منصة “أبشر” و”حساب المواطن” رفعت كفاءة الإنفاق الحكومي بنسبة 30%، ووفرت أكثر من 5 مليارات ريال سنوياً”.
يذكر أن السديري تولى قيادة الهيئة عام 2020 بعد مسيرة مهنية امتدت 15 عاماً في قطاع الاتصالات، وشهدت الفترة من 2021 حتى الآن إطلاق 40 مبادرة رقمية كبرى تشمل الذكاء الاصطناعي والأمن السيبراني. كما سجلت المملكة أعلى نسبة نمو في الشرق الأوسط في استثمارات تقنية “بلوك تشين” بنسبة 200% خلال العام الجاري.
ختاماً، يظل الدور المحوري الذي يقوده السديري في تحويل المملكة إلى مركز رقمي إقليمي نموذجاً يُحتذى، حيث تجسد الأرقام القياسية في تبني التقنية والانخفاض التاريخي في زمن إنجاز المعاملات الحكومية – من 15 يوماً إلى أقل من 24 ساعة – نجاح مسيرة التحول الرقمي بقيادته.

كشفت دراسة علمية حديثة أن ممارسة الرياضة لمدة 20 دقيقة يومياً فقط يمكن أن تحدث فرقاً كبيراً في الصحة العامة وطول العمر، وذلك وفقاً لبحث أجراه فريق من الباحثين المتخصصين في علم وظائف الأعضاء والصحة العامة.
أظهرت الدراسة أن الحركة البسيطة، حتى لو كانت لفترات قصيرة، تساهم في تحسين صحة القلب والأوعية الدموية، وزيادة معدل الأيض، وتقليل خطر الإصابة بالأمراض المزمنة مثل السكري وارتفاع ضغط الدم.
ووجد الباحثون أن الأشخاص الذين يمارسون نشاطاً بدنياً معتدلاً لمدة 20 دقيقة يومياً، يشهدون تحسناً ملحوظاً في مستويات الطاقة والمزاج، ويقل لديهم خطر الوفاة المبكرة بنسبة تصل إلى 30% مقارنة بغير الممارسين للرياضة.
وأكد الباحث الرئيسي في الدراسة، الدكتور أحمد الزهراني، أن “الرسالة الأساسية هي أنك لست بحاجة إلى ساعات طويلة من التمارين الشاقة لجني فوائد صحية كبيرة. حتى المشي السريع لمدة 20 دقيقة يمكن أن يحدث فرقاً كبيراً”.
تسلط هذه الدراسة الضوء على أهمية إدراج النشاط البدني في الروتين اليومي، حتى لو كان بكميات صغيرة، كوسيلة فعالة لتحسين الصحة وزيادة متوسط العمر المتوقع.

In fiery statements during the press conference before Milan’s match against Newcastle in the first round of the Champions League, Milan coach Stefano Pioli confirmed that the departure of veteran Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic from the team was a difficult matter, noting that the competition in the European tournament this season will be completely different.

Pioli said in his statements: “Ibrahimovic’s departure was very difficult for the team, as he is an exceptional player and a leadership figure, but we must move forward and achieve our goals,” adding, “The Champions League will be different this season, we are preparing for strong confrontations and we will do our best to excel.”

Ibrahimovic had announced his retirement from football at the end of last season after a career full of achievements with Milan, where he contributed to leading the team to win the Italian League in the 2021-2022 season, before returning again in the 2023-2024 season, but his participation was limited due to repeated injuries.

Milan is preparing to face Newcastle United at the San Siro Stadium in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League, amid great ambitions to achieve a positive result that helps the team start strongly in the continental tournament.

It is worth noting that Milan is participating in the Champions League after a long absence, as its last participation was in the 2013-2014 season, and the team is seeking to compete strongly for the title this season under the leadership of its coach Pioli and young stars such as Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud.

In a notable development that sparked widespread controversy on social media, activists circulated a video showing Sheikh Saleh, a renowned school teacher, in a compromising situation with a woman inside his car. The video provoked angry reactions from followers who demanded accountability for Sheikh Saleh’s actions.

In a statement to a local newspaper, Sheikh Saleh claimed that the circulated video was fabricated and baseless, asserting that he was being targeted by a conspiracy to tarnish his reputation. He added, “I am a respectable man and a teacher of generations, with an honorable ethical record, and I will not allow anyone to undermine my reputation.”

The Director of the Education Department in the region confirmed that the ministry had opened an investigation into the incident, indicating that legal measures would be taken against Sheikh Saleh if his involvement in the alleged act was proven. He stated in a press release, “We respect the privacy of our employees, but at the same time, we are keen on preserving the reputation and values of the educational institution.”

The Education Department had received numerous complaints and inquiries from parents and citizens regarding the authenticity of the video and whether Sheikh Saleh would continue his work as a teacher after this scandal. Some called for his immediate dismissal from his position, while others urged patience until the investigations were concluded.

It is worth noting that Sheikh Saleh enjoys great popularity among students and parents due to his distinctive teaching style and his dedication to nurturing the younger generations. Many students and their families expressed their shock and deep sadness after the video circulated.

This incident comes at a time when the Kingdom is witnessing a wide-ranging campaign to combat corruption, bribery, and extortion, with numerous initiatives and programs launched to promote integrity and transparency across various sectors. The relevant authorities have emphasized that they will not tolerate any violations or transgressions, regardless of their source or position.

In conclusion, Sheikh Saleh’s case remains a subject of widespread debate in Saudi society, especially with conflicting accounts regarding the authenticity of the circulated video. Everyone awaits the results of the official investigation to determine Sheikh Saleh’s fate and the exact truth of what happened.
