Syed Abul Hasan Ali Hasani an-Nadwi Tentang Keruntuhan Peradaban, Pandangan Hidup, dan Pendidikan Islam
No full textThis article aims to explore Syed Hasan Ali Nadwi’s views on the decline of civilization and the notion of Islamic worldview. First, the author describes about Syed Hasan Ali Nadwi’s life in a short bio. Second, the author explores Syed Hasan Ali Nadwi’s views and thoughts about the essence beyond the civilizations, its glory and decadence. Then I will elaborate Syed Hasan Ali Nadwi’s point of view about the worldview of Islam, what are the substances of an Islamic worldview and how far the worldview could bring civilizations to certain glories and decadence. My point of view on this article is the stronger worldview that Muslims have, the stronger civilization Muslims could establish. It all depend on how Muslims face the crisis of knowledge and the loss of adab by the right ‘knowledge’, right ‘choice’, and right ‘action.â€

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan: his life and legacy
No full textA visitor to Britain in 1868-9, Sir Syed researched at the British Museum; interacted with Charles Darwin, Thomas Carlyle and several other well-known Victorians besides visiting Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol. On his return to India, he founded the first-ever modern Muslim college at Aligarh, which in 1920 became a full-fledged university. Mr Mahmood Masood, the great-grandson of Sir Syed also spoke at the occasion. E M Forster had, in fact, dedicated his well-known novel, 'A Passage to India' to Sir Ross Masood, Mahmood’s grandfather and Sir Syed’ grandson
Threat Perceptions in Europe: Domestic Terrorism and International Crime
No full textThis paper focuses on two areas of security concern for the European Union: terrorism and international crime. I present a model of game-theoretic interaction between a European state and a domestic dissident group, who, on occasion, may resort to acts of terrorism. Here, identity is crucial to the putative terrorist, providing the microfoundations of dissident group behaviour by solving the collective action problem. I also sketch a macromodel of drugs production in a conflict-ridden developing country, where I argue that demand-side policies of regulation may be better than policies that are aimed at eradicating supply. As far as the policy implications are concerned, first excessive deterrence against potential terrorists may backfire. Secondly, space needs to be created so that Muslim migrants are able to merge their personal identities within their adopted European homelands. Thirdly, the economic discrimination against Muslims in Europe needs to be redressed. Finally, aid to fragile drug producing states should be broad-based and poverty reducing, not just benefiting warlords.European Security, Conflict, Terrorism, Narcotics Trade
Safety of medical device users: A study of physiotherapists’ practices, procedures and risk perception
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Aims: To study practices and procedures with respect to electrotherapy in physiotherapy departments and to study physiotherapists’ perception of health risk, health consequences and protection of health from different risks including electromagnetic field emissions from electrotherapy devices.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in three phases from June 2002 to December 2003. The first phase was an audit of the practices and procedures regarding electrotherapy in National Health Service physiotherapy departments (N = 46 including 7 departments in pilot study) located in 12 counties in the southeast and southwest of England including Greater London. The second phase comprised one observational visit to each of the same physiotherapy departments to characterise their occupational environment. The third phase was a questionnaire survey of 584 physiotherapists working in these departments. Variables concerned perception of health risk, health consequences and protection of health associated with different risk factors.
Results: In the first two phases, the recruitment rate of the departments was 80.7% (46 out of 57) and response rate of those recruited was 100% (n=46). The response rate for the last phase of the study was 66.8% (390 out of 584). Results of the practices and procedures audit show that ultrasound was the most common form of electrotherapy while microwave diathermy was neither available nor used in these departments. Pulsed shortwave diathermy was used 4-5 days per week while continuous shortwave diathermy was used rarely. Electrotherapy was provided to up to 50% of patients per week in the departments. The observational visits to the departments revealed that there were metallic objects within close proximity of diathermy equipment and wooden treatment couches for treatment with PSWD and CSWD were rare. The risk perception survey showed that physiotherapists generally perceived a moderate health risk and health consequences (harm) from exposure to EMF emissions from electrotherapy devices. Protection from EMFs in physiotherapy departments was generally perceived as ‘usually’ possible.
Conclusions: Physiotherapy departments report safe electrotherapy practices. Use of diathermy devices that use RF EMFs is declining. The key predictors of physiotherapists’ perception of health risk were perception of health consequences and vice versa. Gender was a significant predictor of the perception of health risks and health consequences. The main predictor of perception of protection against risk was the knowledge of environmental and health issues. Latent dimensions of perceptions of health risk, health consequences and protection from risk were identified and confirmed and their predictors were determined.Brunel Universit
