This research entitled “Integration of Islamic Concept in Teaching Biology in the University”. Biological science that is taught in most learning institutions has been secular in nature. Almost all of the biological processes, theories and principles are taught without referring to Islamic concept. The teaching of Qur'an is separated from the teaching of Biological science. Thus, many Muslim students and teachers have kept on patronizing secular curriculum of the west. Hence, this research work spelled out the relevant and applicable Qur’anic verses to Biology, assessed why Biological teachings of Islam should be a part of the curriculum in the university, and determined the perception and level of awareness of the students and teachers on the relevance of certain Biological concept and Islamic context. This study was conducted at the Mindanao State University - Sulu. This research was both qualitative and quantitative since the findings were based on theories, Qur’anic verses, interviews and percentage computation. Based on the findings, there were many Qur-anic verses dealing with Biological sciences, and these verses were relevant and applicable to Biology. Specifically on sex determination which deals with the sex of organism. The verse is “He bestows female upon whom He wills, and bestows male upon He wills (Qur’an, 42:49), also, has He taken daughters out of what He has created, and He has selected for your son? (Qur’an, 43:16). And made of him two sexes, male and female (Qur’an, 75:39). Another, We have created you in pairs, male and female (Qur’an, 78:8). This verse is also relevant to the function of gene which determines the two contrasting traits. On order, a characteristic of life which refers to the organization and precise arrangement of structure of organism is related to this verse, Allah shaped and fashioned him in due proportion (Qur’an, 75:38). On adaptation in which the organism must undergo changes to survive. Verily! Allah will not change the good condition of organisms as long as they do not change themselves (Qur’an, 13:11).  Regarding perceptions and awareness, almost all the participants were aware and agreed on the relevance of Biological science to Islam. The results revealed that some of the Biological theories, principles and process are relevant and applicable to Qur’anic verses. However, the researcher recommended that there is a need for the Biological teaching of Islam to be part of the curriculum in the university in order to avoid confusion on Biological concept and Islamic context.  The Holy Qur-an contain verses relevant and applicable to Biological concept. Most of the respondents have agreed and believed on both Biological and Islamic concepts as reflected on the findings above. Therefore, integration of Islamic concept in teaching Biology is necessary.

It is hard to imagine learning science without doing laboratory or fieldwork. The research work in this paper assessed the state of physics laboratory teaching and learning resources in some selected universities in the South West geopolitical zone of Nigeria. The survey was carried out in five universities namely The University of Lagos, University of Agriculture, Lagos State University, Olabisi Onabanjo University and Covenant University. An 88-item inventory assessment questionnaire was administered and responses were collated for analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data derived from the study. Findings revealed that there is dearth of modern and specialised physics laboratory equipment/resources; and the obsolete state of most workshops. Inadequacy of the available resources was also observed where some universities combine physics students from the Faculties of Education and Science for most practical sessions. Based on the findings, the study proffers some recommendation that could improve the resource situations in these universities.   Keywords: Physics, laboratory, learning.

This paper discusses the attitudes and opinions of research scientists and engineers to taking part in public understanding of science activities. A survey was carried out at an event in set95 (the UK's 1995 National Week of Science, Engineering and Technology), which involved 168 scientists from the University of Bristol, UK, taking their research work into a shopping mall in Bristol for two days. All participating scientists and engineers were asked to complete a written questionnaire shortly after the event and then at least one participant from each display was contacted seven months later for telephone interview. The results show that while most of the scientists took part because they were told to by senior colleagues, after the event almost all (94 per cent) wanted to take part again mainly because they had found the experience enjoyable. Despite the demands of time and organization, individuals benefited from taking part; participants felt it improved their presentation skills and enhanced morale. They regarded the exhibition as good for communication skills training and did not want formal training for the event. The exhibition was also valued as a team-building exercise both within individual departments and across the University.

The Seventeenth Annual Conference of the Association of Muslim SocialScientists was held Rubi‘ul Awwal 18-20, 1409/October 28-30, 1988, at IowaState University, Ames, Iowa. “Development of Contemporary IslamicThought: Theory and Application” was the theme that attracted over 120participants from United States, Canada, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco,Trinidad and India, as well as numerous student “drop-ins”.The conference broke new grounds and topped all former annualconferences, in the size of meetings, quality, and diversity of presentations,and set a number of records that may stand for many years to come. Mostof the discussions were scholarly and conducted in a spirit of good humoroftendisagreeing without being disagreeable.The program included 26 papers, in addition to special sessions. Althoughthe sessions were spread over three days, as many as 16 sessions had to beheld concurrently to accommodate the participants. Topical divisions ofconcurrent sessions were successful at holding "session-hopping“ to a minimum.The array of papers covered almost all subdisciplines and current researchorientation in Islamic social sciences. Abstracts of the papers given in theprogram were helpful in planning and choosing which session to attend. Afterthe sessions, there was an array of opportunities to widen one’s experience.The banquet, and the dinners and lunches at Iowa State University MemorialUnion allowed for a relaxed, yet stimulating, setting. Those who preferredmore tension in their leisure, continued their discussions in small groups.For the first time, the conference began with a session on “Western andMuslim Women” chaired by Salahuddin Malik of the State University of NewYork, Brockport. Sharifa Alkhateeb of the International Institute of IslamicThought surveyed “Feminist Issues and Their Implication for Islamic Women,”explaining how Western feminist values were incapable of successfultransplantation to Muslim Societies. She pointed out the existing numerousvalues in Islam while recognizing the need for social change of traditionalnon-Islamically based mores. Vanessa Khadija Payton, of Morgan StateUniversity, discussed “Polygamy and American Muslims.” Her paper focusedon the cultural indoctrination of American male and female Muslims andthe practicality of polygamy amongst these groups.

The authors examine the problem of counteracting corruption in the social sphere, specifically in the work of state and municipal institutions involved in education, research, healthcare, culture, sports. They study different approaches to fighting corruption and conclude that at present we have practically reached the limits of influencing the dynamics of corruption crimes through changes in the criminal law norms. Improvements in the effectiveness of counteracting crimes of corruption and corrupt actions are almost totally connected with regulatory measures manifested in the identification and elimination of the causes of corruption, as well as the prevention of corruption actions. The paper presents a classification of the spheres of anti-corruption work in state and municipal institutions, analyzes the concept of «corruption risk» in view of the approaches described in research publications, singles out key groups of corruption risks in state and municipal institutions, determines typical (general) and specific corruption risks. The authors present a model of anti-corruption actions in state and municipal institutions that includes the implementation of a complex of anti-corruption measures that should compose a logically built system where elements determine each other. The functioning of the model in educational institutions is demonstrated on the example of anti-corruption measures carried out by Saint Petersburg State University; their integral part is the implementation of the transparency policy and the online publication of materials regarding educational and research work, tenders for products, work and services on the University website.
