This chapter offers an analysis of how the Islamic University of Medina (IUM) was from its very inception meant to function as a Saudi state-backed Salafi missionary project with global reach. The goal was for students to return to their home countries or to travel on elsewhere after graduation for du'a, or as missionaries, to promote spiritual commitment and “correct” religious knowledge and practice. As the university president and future Grand Mufti Abd al Aziz bin Baz wrote in a prospectus published in 1971, emphasising the sacred geography of Medina and suggesting a parallel between this Saudi-backed project and the Prophet's own mission, the university was to operate as a source of modern Islamic propagation from the source of the first Islamic propagation.

Background: Ketamine and propofol in a single syringe are reported to create an admixture used for balancing cardiorespiratory effects during induction of general anesthesia. This study aimed to assess the clinical practice and knowledge of “ketofol” among anesthesia providers.Methods: A cross-sectional institutional-based study was conducted among anesthesia providers. Data abstracted format was prepared and distributed to senior anesthetists, junior anesthetist postgraduate students, and undergraduate students. The study was conducted from January 1, 2019, to January 30, 2019. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were performed for frequency distribution and to determine the association, respectively.Result: From a total of 133 participants included in the study, the majority, 88 (66.2%), were men and 75 (56.9%) had 0–2 years of experience. More than two-thirds of participants, 105 (78.9%), have never had a seminar or educational session about combined use. Lack of experience among 11 participants (8.3%) was one of the reasons for not using “ketofol” followed by lack of knowledge among three (2.3%) participants. The majority of participants, 112 (84.2%), prefer ketamine and propofol to be administered one right after the other with separate syringes and the ratio to be 1:2, 64 (48.2). There was no significant association observed between sociodemographic and other characteristics and the practice of “ketofol.”Conclusion: In this study, nearly half of the participants rated their knowledge at the average level, and the study identifies that there is clinical knowledge and practice gap among anesthesia providers working in the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (UOGCSH). Preparing educational sessions regarding “ketofol” for addressing identified barriers is among the recommendations forwarded to UOGCSH.

AbstractThe integration of science and religion is an integrative-holistic integration meaning the existence of general science and religious studies depend on each other. The form of general science and religion with all their forms and character is essentially one and the same, what distinguishes it one from another is just the gradation (tashkīk al-form) caused by differences in the essence. Mulla Sadra thoughts on the integration of science is embodied in the principle of Tawheed, then it is necessary to build an integrative educational concept of Islamic education that is designed as an education that is truly holistic and integrated in terms of vision, content, structure and processes and well integrated in its approach to the curriculum (how and what to teach), integrated knowledge and practice, applications and services. This holistic education includes philosophical and methodological concepts that are structured and coherent to the understanding of the world and all aspects of life. Religious knowledge based on revelation (the Qur’an and al-Hadith) is qauliyyah verses and general sciences based on senses, reasoning against natural phenomena is kauniyyah verses. AbstrakIntegrasi ilmu dan agama adalah integrasi yang bersifat integratif-holistik yaitu, eksistensi ilmu umum dan ilmu agama saling bergantung satu sama lain. Eksistensi (wujūd)yang ada pada pelajaran umum dan agama dengan segala bentuk dan karakternya pada hakikatnya adalah satu dan sama, yang membedakan satu dari yang lainnya hanyalah gradasinya (tashkīk al-wujūd) yang disebabkan oleh perbedaan dalam esensinya.pemikiran Mullā Sadrā tentang integrasi keilmuan yang tertuang dalam prinsip Tauḥid, maka untuk membangun pendidikan integratif diperlukan Konsep pendidikan Islam yang dirancang sebagai pendidikan yang benar-benar holistik dan terpadu. Holistik dalam hal visi, isi, struktur dan proses. Terpadu dalam pendekatannya baik terhadap kurikulum (bagaimana dan apa yang harus diajarkan), pengetahuan yang menyatupadukan dengan praktik, aplikasi dan pelayanan. Pendidikan holistik inilah mencakup konsep filosofis maupun metodologis yang terstruktur dan koheren kepada pemahaman terhadap dunia dan seluruh aspek kehidupan. Ilmu-ilmu agama yang berbasis pada wahyu (al-Qur’ān dan al-Ḥadith) sebagai ayat-ayat qauliyyah dan ilmu-ilmu umum berbasis pada akal, penalaran terhadap fenomena alam sebagai ayat-ayat kauniyyah.

The Relationship

This study explores how university students’ personality and positive or negative affect influence their perception of transformational leadership of the university president. It further examines how the level of students’ affective commitment to the university moderates the relationship. Survey data were collected from 141 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in a large public university in South Korea. The students answered survey questions to measure their big-five personalities, positive and negative affect, affective commitment to the university, and their perception of the university president’s transformational leadership. The results of hierarchical regression analyses show that (a) students’ positive affect is positively related to their perception of the university president’s transformational leadership, after controlling for the effect of the students’ personality and that (b) students’ affective commitment to the university moderates the relationship between negative affect and perception of transformational leadership of the university president. This study sheds light on the dynamic, reciprocal process of the social construction of university leadership with an emphasis on students’ affective state and personality traits as critical factors in understanding distant leadership.

This chapter reports on case studies of four North American universities engaged in technology transfer and commercialization. The literature and case studies permitted an understanding of the characteristics possessed by universities and university technology transfer offices that appear to be successful in technology transfer and commercialization. Fourteen characteristics, or institutional enablers, are identified and analyzed in order to determine which among these characteristics have greater influence in the success of technology transfer offices. The chapter concludes that universities with superior-performing technology transfer offices possess two factors in common. First, the university President and other executives concerned in commercialization have to believe in it and make a genuine commitment to its success. Second, the technology transfer office has to be led by an individual who possesses several attributes: the ability and willingness to work within the university structure; the ability to be both an entrepreneur and a manager; the ability to see what is happening in technology transfer and commercialization as it evolves and matures; and to be a leader of people and business.

When we live in the yes, public life in America will be rescued from despair. We know from the Hispanic community’s example that religious knowledge of our place in the universe is healthy. The yes functions similarly. At the personal level, the reader who answers Lonergan’s question with a yes will encounter celebration, gratitude, and, because we have not lived up to the direction of the universe, confession. The universe now offers correction that must be taken seriously, though not coercively or institutionally. The yes spreads through the cultural entity of cosmopolis, which will confront our nihilism. The disciplines and the university will be renewed by a new understanding of the unity of all subject matters. Each course of study, though different, is always of a universe that is on our side. Policy debates will consider the common good. Politics will be filled with meaning and be more generous.

This article provides an assessment of the pathways Librarians at the University of Guyana Library (UGL) explored to achieve continual learning for professional growth and self-development.The writers adopted a survey method to capture data from sixteen senior professionals from the University of Guyana Library. The findings revealed that while the University of Guyana Administration provided some avenues for professional growth and development for all professionals, there were some areas that required a more structured and equitable approach.  The findings indicated that much more can be done to facilitate growth and development for senior Library professionals, particularly in the field of Librarianship. From the discussions, the researchers concluded that in spite of the limited access to available resources, Library senior professionals actively pursued alternative avenues to enhance and advance learning. This was intended to acquire current knowledge and practice so that they may provide a higher quality of service to their clientele; further, their experience (in the process) will assist in enhancing their professional development and personal growth.
