Education is all pervasive. It is rightly said that “to educate is to enlighten,” and the only way for developing either the self or the nation is through education. This is well understood in most of the developed countries, but due to globalization, the world over this realization is dawning. Sultanate of Oman is one of the most developed countries in the Middle East. Blessed with a visionary leader, the younger generation of the nation is set to achieve its full potential. Higher Education is definitely a means to achieve that end. It is one of the strategic areas pursued with intent and motive. This chapter traces the history of higher education in Oman, identifies the 21st century higher education trends, and reviews the best practices, which can be adopted for evolving a comprehensive and holistic higher education.

Abstrak Ketika seluruh dunia tenggelam dalam arus kebohongan, hilangnya martabat manusia, jauh dari cahaya tauhid, dan komunitas sosial, politik, ekonomi, budaya dan agama, terutama ketika dunia Arab sangat rapuh dan gelisah, muncul seorang tokoh besar dalam sejarah panjang manusia. Dia membawa obor perubahan dari kegelapan menjadi cahaya terang dalam kehidupan. Dia memimpin masyarakat yang kacau menjadi masyarakat yang terbimbing dan terdidik, terlebih lagi membebaskan orang Arab dari politeisme menjadi monoteisme. Dia adalah Nabi Muhammad yang terkenal sebagai pembawa rahmatallil'alamin. Periode kepemimpinan Nabi Muhammad adalah cikal bakal pembentukan peradaban Islam. Krisis terbesar di dunia saat ini adalah krisis keteladanan. Krisis ini lebih kuat daripada krisis energi, kesehatan, makanan, transportasi dan air. Karena tidak adanya pemimpin visioner, kompeten, dan memiliki integritas tinggi maka masalah air, konservasi hutan, kesehatan, pendidikan, sistem peradilan, dan transportasi akan menjadi semakin parah. Akibatnya, semakin banyak biaya perawatan kesehatan yang sulit untuk dijangkau, manajemen transportasi semakin kacau, pendidikan kehilangan kesadaran akan karakter mulia yang berorientasi belas kasih, sungai dan air tanah semakin tercemar dan sampah menumpuk di mana-mana. Dalam hal ini, di antara masalah yang dialami oleh dunia Muslim, termasuk Indonesia, sebagai negara terbesar ketiga di dunia. Oleh karena itu, kepemimpinan Nabi Muhammad adalah tolak ukur yang harus diikuti oleh semua manusia dalam hal memproyeksikan pola kepemimpinan, karena kepemimpinan yang diajarkanya akan mengarahkan orang untuk menjadi pemimpin yang dihormati, dicintai dan diikuti oleh semua orang. Kata kunci: kepemimpinan, pendidikan, peradaban Islam   Abstract At around the world drowned in a stream of lies, loss of human dignity, far from the light of monotheism, and the social, political, economic, cultural and religious communities, especially the Arab world is very fragile and apprehensive, appears a major figure in the history of all time. He carried the torch of transformation from darkness into bright light of life. He led a chaotic society into a society that guided and educated, moreover released the Arab from polytheism to monotheism.  He is the Prophet Muhammad who is well known as a carrier rahmatallil'alamin. The period of the Prophet Muhammad's leadership is a forerunner to the formation of Islamic civilization. The biggest crisis in the world today is a crisis exemplary. The crisis is more powerful than the energy, health, food, transportation and water crisis. Due to the absence of a visionary leader, competent, and have high integrity then the problem of water, forest conservation, health, education, justice system, and transport will be more severe. As a result, more and more day health care costs increasingly difficult to affordable, transportation management increasingly chaotic, the education lose conscience of compassion-oriented noble character, rivers and ground water increasingly polluted and garbage piled up everywhere. Here, among the problems experienced by the Muslim world, including Indonesia, as part of the world's third largest. Therefore, the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad is the benchmark that must be followed by all human beings in terms of projecting the pattern of leadership, because the leadership taught by him will lead people to be leaders who are respected, loved and followed by all people. Keywords: leadership, education, Islamic civilization

Educational leadership at this time should be based on the identity of the nation that essentially derived from religious and cultural values. This is intended ​​to be able to anticipate changes that occur in the world of education in particular and for the progress achieved outside the school system in general. Visionary leadership emphasizes the importance of vision, which is aimed at realizing effective and competitive organizations. The power of leadership results in various policies and operational work guided by the vision of the organization. An organization that wants to move forward and competitively must have a clear vision and can be understood by all members. A truly visionary leader is required to have a clear goal or vision to be achieved by his organization or himself. If there is no vision, there will be only a person who works without direction and clarity that will be easily shaken and destroyed.

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl & McCormack argue that animals cannot represent past situations and subsume animals’ memory-like representations within a model of the world. I suggest calling these memory-like representations as what they are without beating around the bush. I refer to them as event memories and explain how they are different from episodic memory and how they can guide action in animal cognition.

AbstractFe XIV 530.3 nm coronal emission line observations have been used for the estimation of the green solar corona rotation. A homogeneous data set, created from measurements of the world-wide coronagraphic network, has been examined with a help of correlation analysis to reveal the averaged synodic rotation period as a function of latitude and time over the epoch from 1947 to 1991.The values of the synodic rotation period obtained for this epoch for the whole range of latitudes and a latitude band ±30° are 27.52±0.12 days and 26.95±0.21 days, resp. A differential rotation of green solar corona, with local period maxima around ±60° and minimum of the rotation period at the equator, was confirmed. No clear cyclic variation of the rotation has been found for examinated epoch but some monotonic trends for some time intervals are presented.A detailed investigation of the original data and their correlation functions has shown that an existence of sufficiently reliable tracers is not evident for the whole set of examinated data. This should be taken into account in future more precise estimations of the green corona rotation period.

The lymphatic system is very important in the immunological activities of the body. Clinicians confirm the diagnosis of infectious diseases by palpating the involved cutaneous lymph node for changes in size, heat, and consistency. Clinical pathologists diagnose systemic diseases through biopsies of superficial lymph nodes. In many parts of the world the goat is considered as an important source of milk and meat products.The lymphatic system has been studied extensively. These studies lack precise information on the natural morphology of the lymph nodes and their vascular and cellular constituent. This is due to using improper technique for such studies. A few studies used the SEM, conducted by cutting the lymph node with a blade. The morphological data collected by this method are artificial and do not reflect the normal three dimensional surface of the examined area of the lymph node. SEM has been used to study the lymph vessels and lymph nodes of different animals. No information on the cutaneous lymph nodes of the goat has ever been collected using the scanning electron microscope.
