Shams al-dim al-Sakhawi as a historian of the 9th/15th century : with an edition of that section of his chronicles (Wajiz al-kalam) covering the period 800-849 / 1397-1445
No full textAlthough a prolific writer of history, Sakhawi is, primarily, a
traditionist. As such, accuracy both in utterance and writing would,
by the very nature of his training, be his first objective.
Modern writers appear to have neglected the importance of his
contribution to the understanding of the history of his century.
accept for a few articles, comparatively little has been written. It
is, therefore, strange that such a mine of information as Sakhawi's
writing presents has remained so long in oblivion.
In this thesis an attempt has been made to evaluate that contribution
together with an edition of part of his work.
The study has been divided into three sections, the first dealing
with Sakhawi’s life and times. This part of the study is based largely
on his autobiography which was written but a few months before he died.
During research no reference was discovered to this most informative
work.
The section falls into three chapters, the first of which endeavours
to show the political and educational aspects of Cairo during the early
part of Sakhawi's lifetime. Cairo was his native city and, as such,
made great impact on his early life.
In the second chapter the position of his family, his Shaykhs, the
academic journeys he made, his residence in Hijaz and the last phase of
his life are portrayed.
The third chapter deals with his activities as an adult, his reputation
as a traditionist together with a survey of his works as presented in
his autobiography.
In the second part, the study deals exclusively with Sakhawi as
a historian of the 9th/15th century. This part also is divided into
two chapters, the first of which considers the following aspects: -
I Sakawi's works on the century;
II His motives, methods and literary style and
III His treatment of the history of the century.
The second chapter collates Sakhawi's methods of selecting his
information and the painstaking efforts he made to verify them, together
with his historical achievements, while the last two topics endeavour to
evaluate his task as a historian in that century.
Section three presents the hitherto unedited part of Wajiz al-Kalam...
which deals with the history of the 9th/15th century. This section
also falls into the three divisions of preface, text and annotations.
The last divides again into two groups one of which deals with the
textual variants mentioned in the footnotes and the other attempts to
deal with the interpretation of most of the idiom, colloquial expressions
and the names of places and personalities mentioned in the supplement to
the text

-------------------------------------------------- PROTOCOL --------------------------------------------
Background
Safety of patients in hospitals has been placed at top priority in all healthcare systems around the world. However, incidence of medication errors in hospitals threaten the safety of patients, notably, pediatric patients (Alghamdi et al. 2019, Gates et al. 2018). Medication errors occur with almost all types of medications administered to patients in hospitalized settings including those administered during anesthesia (Feinstein et al. 2018, Gariel et al. 2018, Webster et al. 2001). So far, little is known on the occurrence of medications errors in hospitalized pediatric settings, notably, medication errors during anesthesia.
Objectives
In this systematic scoping review, we aim to:
- Collect, describe, and summarize studies reporting on medication errors in pediatric anesthesia
- Describe the nature of medication errors situations that occur in pediatric anesthesia
- Synthesize recommendations to minimize medication errors in pediatric anesthesia
Methods
Strategy of the literature search
Databases
COCHRANE, MEDLINE/PUBMED, EMBASE, CInAHL/EBESCO, and PsycINFO will be searched.
Keywords
Keywords relevant to medication errors and anesthesia will be searched. Boolean operators will be used to combine the keywords. The results will be filtered for those relevant to the pediatric population. Google Scholar database will be searched to identify studies from the gray literature. References of the collected studies will be searched manually.
Study selection
The identified studies will be screened by at least two researchers independently. Studies will be imported as Research Information Systems (RIS) and Comma Separated Values (CSV) files. Duplicates will be removed. Discrepancies will be resolved by discussion and consensus.
Inclusion criteria
- Studies reporting on medication errors in pediatric anesthesia
- Studies reporting on strategies to reduce medication errors in pediatric anesthesia
Exclusion Criteria
- Studies will be filtered for human studies
- Studies will be filtered for pediatric populaitons
Data extraction and data synthesis
At least two researchers will independently extract data into standardized data extraction form in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. Medication error situations will be described qualitatively into scenarios in the context of how these errors occurred. Discrepancies will be resolved by discussion and consensus. Similarly, recommendations to minimize medication errors in pediatric anesthesia will be synthesized qualitatively (Shawahna 2020, Shawahna et al. 2021).
Grading recommendations by level of evidence
At least two researchers will independently grade the recommendations by level of evidence using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Discrepancies will be resolved by discussion and consensus (JBI 2014, Munn et al. 2019).
Discussion
This is the first systematic scoping review that will be conducted to collect, describe, and summarize studies reporting on medication errors in pediatric anesthesia, describe the nature of medication errors situations that occur in pediatric anesthesia, and synthesize recommendations to minimize medication errors in pediatric anesthesia. Findings of this study might be informative to decision makers in healthcare authorities, anesthesiologists, nurses, pharmacists, and pharmaceutical industry who might be interested in minimizing medication errors in pediatric anesthesia.

A systematic scoping review to understand how to capture impact of pharmacists in hospitals through the electronic health record systems
No full textProtocol: A systematic scoping review to understand how to capture impact of pharmacists in hospitals through the electronic health record systems
Author: Ramzi Shawahna, Hazem Salem
-------------------------------------------------- PROTOCOL --------------------------------------------
Background
Electronic health record systems are increasingly used in many healthcare systems around the world. Pharmacists are important healthcare providers in all healthcare systems (Shawahna 2019a, 2020a). Currently, many of the electronic health record systems do not capture the impact of pharmacists in providing healthcare services to hospitalized patients (Shawahna 2019b).
Objectives
In this systematic scoping review, we aim to collect, describe, and summarize documents reporting on the impact of pharmacists in healthcare systems as shown through electronic health record systems. The other objectives were to identify and describe the pharmaceutical services that could be collected and captured through the electronic health record systems and how the current electronic health record systems can be upgraded to collect and capture the impact of pharmacist in providing healthcare services to hospitalized patients.
Methods
Strategy of the literature search
Databases
MEDLINE/PUBMED, COCHRANE, CInAHL/EBESCO, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and SCOPUS will be searched.
Keywords
Keywords relevant to pharmacist, pharmaceutical care/services/activities and electronic health/patient record/system will be used. The Boolean operators “OR” and “AND” will be used to combine the keywords. The results will be filtered for those published in English. Google Scholar database will be searched to identify documents from the gray literature. References of the collected studies will be searched manually.
Study selection
The identified studies will be screened by at least two researchers independently. Studies will be imported as Research Information Systems (RIS) and Comma Separated Values (CSV) files. Duplicates will be removed. Discrepancies will be resolved by discussion and consensus.
Inclusion criteria
- Documents reporting on the development of electronic health record systems to capture pharmaceutical services
- Documents reporting on the use of electronic health record systems
- Documents reporting on the impact of pharmacists through electronic health record systems
Exclusion Criteria
- Documents reported in languages other than English
- Documents lacking data relevant to the impact of pharmacist electronic health record systems
Data extraction and data synthesis
At least two researchers will independently extract data into standardized data extraction form in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. Pharmaceutical services that could be collected and captured through the electronic health record systems will be collected. The data will be synthesized qualitatively (Shawahna 2020b, Shawahna et al. 2021). Discrepancies will be resolved by discussion and consensus.
Discussion
This is the first systematic scoping review that will be conducted to collect, describe, and summarize documents reporting on the impact of pharmacists in healthcare systems as shown through electronic health record systems. This systematic scoping review will also identify and describe the pharmaceutical services that could be collected and captured through the electronic health record systems and how the current electronic health record systems can be upgraded to collect and capture the impact of pharmacist in providing healthcare services to hospitalized patients. Findings of this study are expected to inform decision makers in healthcare and designers/developers of electronic health record systems to upgrade the current systems to allow capturing the impact of pharmacists and improving healthcare delivery to the hospitalized patients.

The Legacy of the Kitāb
No full textKitāb of Sībawayhi (d. 180/796), undoubtedly the most authoritative work in the long history of Arabic grammar. It carefully examines the methodological concepts and methods that underline Sībawayhi?s analysis of Arabic and the way in which these methods evolved at the hands of later grammarians. Placing the Kitāb within the context of early Arabic philological activity, this book analyzes a wide range of its passages and demonstrates the coherency of its author?s system of grammatical analysis and the interrelatedness of his analytical tools and notions. In particular, Sībawayhi?s huge influence on the overall Arabic grammatical tradition is highlighted throughout the book. This notwithstanding, it is argued that most later grammarians largely neglect the semantic dimension which vividly features in Sībawayhi?s approach to language as a social behavior and his reconstruction of the internal thinking of the speaker and the listener
