Selection Of

In 1917 the British government began making plans for post-war adjustments to the economy, which included the migration of surplus women to the dominions. The Society for the Overseas Settlement of British Women was established in 1920 to facilitate the migration of female workers to the dominions. Earlier studies have argued that overseas emigration efforts purposefully directed women into domestic service as surplus commodities, thus alleviating the female ‘surplus’ and easing economic hardships of the post-war period. This article argues that as Publicity Officer for the SOSBW, Meriel Talbot targeted women she believed would be ideal candidates for emigration, including former members of the Women's Land Army and affiliated groups. With the proper selection of female migrants, Talbot sought to expand work opportunities for women in the dominions beyond domestic service, while reducing the female surplus at home and servicing the connection between state and empire. Dominion authorities, whose demands for migrant labour vacillated between agricultural workers during the war years and domestic servants after 1920, disapproved of Talbot's efforts to migrate women for work in agriculture. Divergent policies led to the early failure of the SOSBW in 1923.

AbstractOur contemporary world is on the verge of crucial changes of an unparalleled pace. The ‘technological changeover’ is the new paradigm caused by the unprecedented evolution of the disruptive technologies. The present world has the tendency to evolve at least exponential, therefore future educational environment is fairly different than its present layout. An entire array of nowadays studies widely recognizes that the progress of the disruptive technologies will pose a meaningful impact over the educational system evolution. Among the most spectacular technologies with disruptive features we should encounter Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain Technology, Cloud Computing, and the like. In an era of technological disruption the education is seen as the new currency. With the help of Artificial Intelligence, for instance, the education system could track how people learn from kindergarten to retirement. Besides, the technology domain will move the centre of gravity from the institutional area to that of the education’s beneficiaries, as we might expect that they will recruit and employ the needed teacher staff, not the institutions. Moreover, the education’s recipients will be the main creators of tomorrow’s professions and within their community the overarching events will happen and the main decisions will be taken in the educational domain.

Abstract Among all creations of God living on this planet, Man is the most intelligent, innovative and creative.  Imbued with these qualities, Man was able to plan, create and recreate new things using the resources available in the environment. Man’s position as God’s best creation and as the recipient of the creative intelligence from his Creator has further advanced him in mastering science and technology. As a result of his advancement in knowledge and science in one way or another has ushered Man into creating great civilizations. While the discussion goes on as to whether Man’s creativity is an inborn or a learned behaviour, this paper intends to explore and analyze some of the existing concepts of human creativity found in Western and Islamic psychologies. Very particularly, the researchers would like to examine the concept of creativity put forward by Freudian Psychoanalysis, Behaviorists, Humanistic and Islamic psychologies. It is expected that the findings of this research can motivate mankind to be more dynamic and productive in bringing the much needed positive change to the present world conditions.   Keywords: Man, Creativity, Contrastive Analysis, Western Psychology, Islamic Psychology.   Abstrak Di antara semua ciptaan Tuhan yang hidup di planet ini, Manusia adalah yang paling pintar, inovatif dan kreatif. Dengan dianugerahi dengan semua kelebihan ini, Manusia dapat merancang, mencipta dan mencipta semula benda baharu dengan menggunakan sumber-sumber yang terdapat di alam sekitar. Kedudukan manusia sebagai makhluk Allah yang terbaik  dan sebagai penerima kecerdasan kreatif daripada Penciptanya telah memberi keupayaan kepadanya untuk semakin maju dalam menguasai sains dan teknologi. Hasil kemajuan dalam ilmu pengetahuan dan sains telah mendorong manusia untuk mewujudkan tamadun yang gilang-gemilang. Dalam suasana perbincangan yang berlansung dewasa ini mengenai; samada kreativiti manusia adalah suatu sifat pembawaan sejak lahir atau suatu yang dapat dipelajari, kajian ini ingin  menoraka konsep kreativiti manusia yang telah diutarakan oleh psikologi Barat dan Islam. Khususnya para penyelidik kajian ini ingin mendalami konsep kreativiti yang telah dikemukakan oleh aliran Freudian Psikoanalisis, Behaviorism, Humanistik psikologi dan psikologi Islam. Diharapkan penemuan penyelidikan ini dapat memotivasi umat manusia agar lebih dinamik dan produktif dalam membawa perubahan positif yang sangat diperlukan untuk merubah keadaan dunia sekarang ini.   Kata Kunci: Manusia, Kreativiti, Analisis Kontrastif, Psikologi Barat, Psikologi Islam.
