Integrating Engineering Properties And Microstructural Behaviour In Lime-Stabilised Soils: A Review, Roslizayati Razali, Diana Che Lat, Hairol Anuar Haron, Siti Nur Aishah Mohd Noor, Nadia Zalikha Sailfullizam, Nur Syazwani Noor Rodi, Nor Azizah Che Azmi

Platform: A Journal of Engineering (PAJE)

Lime stabilisation is a widely used ground improvement technique for enhancing the engineering performance of problematic fine-grained soils. This review summarises recent studies on the mechanisms of lime stabilisation and their effect on the engineering properties and microstructural behaviour of stabilised soils. Lime treatment improves soil performance through cation exchange, flocculation, and pozzolanic reactions, resulting in the formation of cementitious compounds such as calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) and calcium aluminate hydrate (CAH). These reactions reduce plasticity and swelling while improving strength and durability. The review also discusses the influence of soil type, lime content, and curing period on the effectiveness …

The Political And Legal Challenges Facing The International Criminal Court In Prosecuting Perpetrators Of International Crimes, Muhamad Abdulrahman Saleem Alshehri

University of Tabuk Journal for Humanities and Social Sciences

This research examines، through analytical and critical study، the political and legal challenges that hinder the effective functioning of the International Criminal Court (ICC) since its establishment under the Rome Statute. Although the Court represents a milestone in the international community’s efforts to end impunity for the most serious crimes، the realities of international relations reveal a persistent gap between the idealism reflected in the Statute’s legal provisions and the practical limitations imposed by geopolitical interests and power dynamics. The study shows that the relationship between the ICC and the United Nations Security Council remains one of the most problematic …

Translanguaging Practices And Speaking Anxiety Among Saudi Efl University Students, Hatim Abdulhadi Masoudi

University of Tabuk Journal for Humanities and Social Sciences

Foreign language learning anxiety remains a critical affective variable influencing learners’ performance in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms. This study examined the association between translanguaging as a pedagogical strategy and foreign language anxiety among Saudi university students. Adopting a quantitative descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 200 undergraduate EFL students using a structured questionnaire. While the study design allowed for correlational analysis, the individual participant data required to compute a correlation coefficient between the primary constructs was not provided in the report. Descriptive analyses showed that students who reported greater exposure to translanguaging-based instruction also reported lower anxiety …
