    Planned and achieved outputs in Saudi health care system: reducing the gap

    No full text
    This paper examines and compares the planned and actual output of the Saudi Arabian health care system during its Fifth Development Plan period (1990-1995). It then analyzes the inputs and the environmental factors available to the system and how these factors may have influenced the performance (process) of the system, and hence the planned output. The investigation reveals that some of the. planned outputs were achieved satisfactorily, while others fell short significantly. The possible reasons for the shortcomings have been discussed and recommendations have been put forward to reduce the gap between the planned and the actual outputs of the system.Corresponding Author: Dr. Badran A.

    The Mariam Mosque: A Space to Conceptualize Religious Agency and Islamic Feminism in Denmark

    No full text
    Mariam Moskéen splittede vandene da den åbnede i København d. 26. august 2016 på grund af dens progressive standpunkter og praksisser som Islamiske feminister. Med udgangspunkt i Teun A. van Dijks Critical Discourse Analysis undersøger vi nogle af de dominerende diskur-ser omkring Islamiske praksisser og muslimske kvinder. Vi anvender teorier af Edward Said, Chandra T. Mohanty, Sirma Bilge og Margot Badran for at kunne udpege bestemte diskurser. Ved hjælp af disse erkendelser kan vi studere hvordan disse diskurser influerer moskéen, men endnu vigtigere hvordan moskéen bidrager til en gentænkning af feminisme og muslimske kvinders agens. Vi beror på Bilge og Badran for at påbegynde en gentænkning af, hvordan Islamisk feminisme kan udfordre forestillingen om muslimske kvinders agens og transcende-re opdelingen mellem agens som enten funderet i modstand eller underkastelse ved at fokuse-re på religion inden for intersectionality.When the female-led Mariam Mosque opened in Copenhagen on the 26th of August 2016, it was met with controversy from different cultural domains due to its progressive stance and practices as Islamic feminists. Taking point of departure in Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Dis-course Analysis, we investigate some of the dominant discourses surrounding the practices of Islam and Muslim women. We utilize theories consisting of Edward Said, Chandra T. Mo-hanty, Sirma Bilge and Margot Badran in order to detect certain discourses. These insights, lead us to examine how these discourses are a part in shaping the Mariam Mosque, but more importantly how the Mosque contributes to a re-conceptualization of feminism and agency for Muslim women. We rely on Bilge and Badran to begin to conceptualize how Islamic fem-inism can challenge notions of Muslim women’s agency, and go beyond the dichotomy of resistance/subordination by focusing on religion within the method of intersectionality

    AbstractIn this work thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) is applied to investigate the thermo-optical properties of new organometallic compound containing azomethine group, Dichloro bis [2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-5-methylphenyl] telluride platinum(II), doped polyacrylamide gel using transistor-transistor logic (TTL) modulated cw 532nm laser beam as an excitation beam modulated at 10Hz frequency and probe beam wavelength 635nm at 14mW. The technique is applied to determine the thermal diffusivities, ds/dT and the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the sample. All-optical switching effects with low background and high stability are demonstrated

    Higher education in Egypt

    Egypt's policy on higher education, the author argues, must take account of the realities of declining government budgets and employment and increasing reliance on the private sector, which must become more competitive internationally. Education in Egypt must increase Egyptians'ability to cope with economic disequilibria: to respond quickly and effectively to changing technological and market opportunities. The Government of Egypt's strategy for achieving this goal is to stabilize the number of university students and raise the quality of instruction. This fundamentally sound strategy, pursued since the mid-1980s, has required considerable courage of policymakers, who are struggling to correct a longtime, inequitable misallocation of educational resources. The Nasser regime greatly expanded higher education and guaranteed jobs to university graduates. As a result of rapidly growing enrollment in the 1970s and 1980s, the quality of education seriously deteriorated. Classes are too big and resources too scarce for anything but professorial salaries, so learning amounts to little more than memorization and repetition. The system does not foster the development of synthesizing, problem-solving, or creative thinking abilities. And with tertiary institutions over-enrolled, academic success requires the use of tutors, whose fees are beyond the reach of students of modest means.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Teaching and Learning,Gender and Education,Tertiary Education

    Abstract: Nurse managers must have critical thinking and effective problem-solving skills in order to improve the patient care system, make effective decision, and attain the institutional outcomes, and achieve institutional aims. Aim: Assess the effect of implementing a training strategy about problem solving and measuring its’ effect on thinking and decision making styles of nurse managers. Research design: One group pre- test / post- test research design was used to achieve the aim of the current study. Setting: This study was conducted at Nasser General Hospital. This hospital is affiliated to Ministry of Health hospitals at Qalyoubia Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: The study included 50 nurse managers. Tools: Data were collected by two main scales namely; thinking styles scale, and decision-making styles scale. Results: There were significant statistical differences regarding all dimensions of thinking style and total thinking style throughout implementing a strategy stages with elevation in post strategy and follow up than pre strategy. There were significant statistical differences regarding all dimensions of decision-making style and total thinking style throughout implementing a strategy stages with elevation in post strategy and follow up than pre. Conclusion: There were an improvement of nurse managers’ thinking and decision making styles throughout implementing the problem solving training strategy. Recommendations: Conducting a regular workshop for nurse managers about decision making as needed, conduct regular meeting with staff nurses to identify problems early and manage it, and continuous application of needs assessment to recognize nurse manager regarding decision making.

    Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the human connection with nature, place, and the physical environment in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2006) in order to demonstrate the ways the Arab American author employs these themes to reflect the diasporic experience of her protagonist, providing (in)direct commentary on the wavering location of Arab Americans in repellent contexts, on the one hand, and offering readers a possible solution, on the other. This paper, then, explores the portrayal of nature, place and environment in Kahf’s novel as an active agent that accompanies the protagonist throughout the events of the plot to finally highlight the way she finds to reconcile with the world, blend differences, and find inner balance
