    The objective of this case report is to highlight the use of maternal Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) of Remifentanil to provide immobilization and analgesia to the fetal during Ex utero Intrapartum (EXIT) procedure. A 37 weeks of gestation fetal was diagnosed with Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome (CHAOS). EXIT procedure was preferred as the most favourable approach of management. With the concurrent use of general anaesthesia, TCI Remifentanil was infused to the mother with the aim to provide fetal immobilization and analgesia during surgical tracheostomy on the fetal. Tracheostomy was successfully done with excellent fetal immobilization without the requirement of other medications or muscle relaxant administered to the fetal circulation. In performing a delicate fetal airway surgery, the anaesthesiologist must achieve loss of consciousness, adequate analgesia and more importantly immobility to the fetal with a significant uterine relaxation while safely anaesthetizing the mother. There are several approaches of achieving fetal analgesia and immobility during EXIT procedure. These include the direct administration of anaesthetic drugs to the fetal blood circulation via intravenous or intramuscular route, intra-amniotic delivery or delivery of the anaesthetic drugs directly through maternal blood circulation in addition to inhalational anaesthetic agents. In our case, fetal analgesia and immobility was achieved through maternal blood circulation using TCI of Remifentanil and coupled with inhalational agent of sevoflurane

    In this paper, the effects of ability-enhancing human resource management practices (staffing, training), motivation-enhancing human resource management practices (compensation, performance appraisal) and opportunity to perform-enhancing human resource management practices (involvement, communication) were examined along with knowledge management effectiveness (knowledge infrastructure capability, knowledge process capability) on organisation performance of Jordanian banks. The construct of organisational performance is measured by combination of turnover intention, service quality and financial performance. The study employed convenience sampling to which 105 questionnaires distributed. This paper contributes to unlock the "black box" problem of the little understanding of HRM-organisation performance relationship through the mediating role of knowledge management effectiveness on HRM-organisation performance relationship with the insights of ability motivation opportunity (AMO) and resource-based view (RBV) theory. The findings show the significant impact of ability, motivation, opportunity-enhancing human resource management practices and knowledge management effectiveness on organisation performance in the Jordanian banks. This paper concludes with the recommendations for the banks to strengthen the relationship between their HRM, knowledge management effectiveness and their performance

    Public rights and freedoms in contemporary Islamic thought

    Pluralism and diversity are considered as one of the laws (Sunan) of God in His creation. It is natural that Islam establish all the rules, and provide all the necessary requirements in order to protect this pluralism and diversity whereby God created us distinct in languages and colors. For this reason, Islam derived its strength and greatness from the liability of these legislations, concepts and principles for application on the ground, and from their being within the bounds of the limited human capacity and energy. The problem of the research lies in the original differences which make variance obvious between Islam and the contemporary political thought in determining the rights and the public freedoms. The researcher aims from this study to clarify the most important rights and freedoms in the contemporary Islamic thought and to discuss the difference between the Islamic epistemological model and the material epistemological model, and also to show the differences between the Islamic conceptualization and the Western conceptualization concerning the rights and the freedoms. In order to achieve the aim of this study, the researcher used the descriptive analytical methodology. The study reached the following results: that the human freedom should be committed to the horizons of Shari’a (Muslim religious law), the limits of God, and that Islam considers freedom as being necessary for humanity in general and not only for the Muslim person alone. Equality is a guaranteed right for every human being and it is a great basis on which religion is established. God made piety as the balance of prederence between human beings. Islam determined precisely all rights and freedoms by God’s commands and His limits which do not,as some claim , fetters which tie up the energies of the human being and kill his aspirations and his yearnings. Islam supports positive opposition and considers it under commanding good acts and prohibiting abominable acts as a collective duty on the Muslim person, rather it is one of the basic rights which is represented in the freedom of giving opinion within the limits of Sari’a ( Muslim religious law ) and its controls. The study also concluded that the human being in the Islamic conceptualization enjoys rights and freedoms but in the framework of the concept of the appointment of man as God’s successor on the earth (al-istikhlaaf) and slavery to Almighty God, whereas the Western conceptualization gives a free rein to man without a restriction or a condition

Beginning with mushaf which was transferred from bone, stone, palm branch or animal skin into sheets of paper until the latest form which is digital, scholars have never missed out from paying attention to its protection from all aspects. Besides that, concern of the community also has played its role in increasing the sensitivity of Muslim people to any form of mistake that happens in the publication of Al-Quran mushaf and at the same time the perfectness of Al-Quran can be preserved well and carefully. Concern by the Malaysia government through development of this Smart Quran application indirectly is capable of controlling the usage of various al-Quran mushaf application nowadays.

Moreover, there is very little research done where the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM) as a business excellence strategy, which integrates the concept of occupational safety and health management system (OSHMS). This paper incorporates the concept of OSHMS within the perspective of TQM as a part of corporate culture in order to develop an OSHMS model through integrating OSHMS with the European Foundation of Quality Management (EFQM) Model, and define the critical factors for OSHMS excellence. The proposed model can be applied in different companies regardless of the size, maturity or sector. Study findings suggest that OSHMS model has a positive impact on people results, OSH performance, financial and non-financial performances. Therefore, deliver an evidence of the linkage between employees’ protection and organisation’s excellence. A better understanding of implementing OSHMS, and its enablers, will certainly support organizations to strategically deploy resources and concentrate efforts to develop their business performance and safety and health results
