    This thesis highlights the political thought of H.H. Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, a man who made decisive contributions to the history of the twentieth century, and the various reflections of this political thought on the UAE, its people and the international community at large. In this regard, it explores and analyzes a multifaceted political thought that took its form in political practice in the establishment of the Federation, the management of crises and in the building of a prosperous enduring nation. Evaluating the factors that influenced the formation of the doctrinal matrix of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, this thesis traces the background from within which Sheikh Zayed’s leadership skills evolved and developed. From his early years onwards, Sheikh Zayed made a firm commitment to undertake the considerable task of building a fully fledged state out of a divided tribal background, improve the lives of citizens, and carve a place for the UAE in the international arena. This research project illustrates the implications and dimensions of Sheikh Zayed's political thinking process exemplified in his discursive statements and actions. It documents and analyzes the career achievements of Sheikh Zayed, a statesman acknowledged by contemporary and future generations to have had significant impact on the political direction and overall development of the UAE. This impact also demonstrates the potential of his contribution to the field of political thought. One of this study’s primary conclusions is that the accomplishments of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan during his rule have resulted primarily from his development of an integrated doctrine of governance that reflected his humanistic outlook. In this regard, at both the domestic and international levels, Sheikh Zayed’s political decisions and acts were undertaken with reference to this outlook

    Investigating and learning lessons from early experiences of implementing ePrescribing systems into NHS hospitals:a questionnaire study

    Full text link
    ePrescribing systems have significant potential to improve the safety and efficiency of healthcare, but they need to be carefully selected and implemented to maximise benefits. Implementations in English hospitals are in the early stages and there is a lack of standards guiding the procurement, functional specifications, and expected benefits. We sought to provide an updated overview of the current picture in relation to implementation of ePrescribing systems, explore existing strategies, and identify early lessons learned

    There is no doubt that the Asfiyah school, represented by its Sheikh Abdul Aziz Salem Al-Samarrai, is profoundly important to the defining and dissemination of Sharia sciences in the city of Fallujah. Sheikh Abdul Aziz introduced the curriculum of Sharia science. One of those Islamic sciences was the “Basics of Prophetic Hadith” which was a great pillar of Islam. It is the second source of Islam after the Holy Quran. Given the importance of the prophetic Hadith in Islamic life, Sheikh Abdulazeez wrote an introductory book about the “Basics of Prophetic Hadith”. In this study, we review this book and offer new insights into its teachings. This research was divided into two sections. The first one deals with the biography of Sheikh Abdul Aziz. The second section focuses on the contents and teachings of the book. In the conclusion, we present the most important findings of this study. Keywords: Abdul Aziz Al-Samarrai, Asfiyah, Editing, Hadith Rules

    National clinical practice guidelines for food allergy and anaphylaxis: an international assessment

    Full text link
    Background: clinical practice guidelines are important tools to promote evidence-based clinical care, but not all countries have the capacity or infrastructure to develop these in-house. The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology has recently developed guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and management of food allergy and the management of anaphylaxis. In order to inform dissemination, adaptation and implementation plans, we sought to identify countries that have/do not have national guidelines for food allergy and anaphylaxis.Methods: two reviewers independently searched PubMed to identify countries with guidelines for food allergy and/or anaphylaxis from the inception of this database to December 2016. This was supplemented with a search of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's National Guideline Clearinghouse in order to identify any additional guidelines that may not have been reported in the peer-reviewed literature. Data were descriptively and narratively synthesized.Results: overall, 5/193 (3%) of countries had at least one guideline for food allergy or anaphylaxis. We found that one (1%) country had a national guideline for the prevention of food allergy, three (2%) countries had a guideline for the diagnosis of food allergy and three (2%) countries had a guideline for the management of food allergy. Three (2%) countries had an anaphylaxis guideline.Conclusions: this study concludes that the overwhelming majority of countries do not have any national clinical practice guidelines for food allergy or anaphylaxis
