The Real Cry of Syed Shaykh al-Hady
No full textSyed Shaykh al-Hady, militant reformer of Islam and Muslims, has yet to be fully recognized nationally in Malaya for his contribution to the liberation of Muslim consciousness. Syed Shaykh has yet to be recognized internationally for the part he played in this Malay extremity of the reformist movement started by the modernising theoreticians of the Islamic world, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, Egypt’s Muhammad ‘Abduh, Rashid Rida and others. Syed was one of the founders of al-Imam (The Leader) in 1906, a Jawi-Malay journal published in Singapore and dedicated to islah, reform and renewal. In 1926-8, now based in Penang, he created al-Ikhwan (Brethren), the newspaper Saudara (Brother), as well as the Jelutong Press. In these Syed Shaykh Mohd. Tahir Jalaluddin, Imam Abu Bakar Ash ‘ari, and others courageously attacked abuses wrongly sanctified by a misinterpretation of what was the intrinsic direction and nature Islam, which they contended was at all times progressive and life-giving. They adamantly stood against taqlid, the blind following of tradition, which Prophet Muhammad had warned would lead us ‘to crawl into the lizard’s hole’ if our forefathers had done so. Cover photograph: Syed Shaykh al-Hady, grandfather and adoptive father of Datuk Dr. Syed Mohamed Alwi al-Hady who stands at his knee; 1925. Reading the criticisms of this Kaum Muda (New Faction) vanguard of over 90 years ago, one is struck by the realisation that many are still valid today, that Malay society in its religious-culture and religious-structure still stands in need of courageous islah thinkers if the life force of the Malay Muslim mass is to be allowed to come out from under the remaining coconut shell where no sun can shine in. This compendium is dedicated to that vision.MSRIFacultyUnreviewe

Syed A. Naqi
No full textDr. Syed A. Naqi in a faculty photograph. Physical description: black-and -white print (photograph)17X12mmDr. Syed A. Naqi in listed in the 1979-1980 Faculty Directory with the following information. "Associate Professor of Veterinary Microbiology & Parasitology; B.V.Sc. (D.V.M.)-Osmania U. (India)1961; M.S. 1967 and Ph.D. 1969 in Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology at Texas A&M ; Diplomate, A.C.V.M." As of 2017 he was listed as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology. One of his special areas of study is Avian medicine. He left Texas in 1987 to join the faculty at Cornell University and as of 2016 was teaching Microbiology and Immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar.
"Syed had an interesting history. After completing his veterinary training at Osmania University in India, he took a position as a Research Associate with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) India Program, managing a large poultry operation in that country. Dr. Earl Moore, who had been on the Cornell faculty as a turkey pathologist in the late 1940s and early 1950s, was in India at the time working with the USAID program helping to modernize the poultry Industry. He met Dr. Naqi and, impressed with his abilities, convinced him to come to the United States for advanced work in avian medicine. Syed did so, earning an MS (1967) and a PhD (1969) at Texas A&M University and ultimately joining the avian disease faculty there. Thus, there was a link between Naqi and Calnek in that they both were indebted to Earl Moore for the nudges that teered them into research careersin avian medicine. Dr. Naqi gained a strong reputation for both his teaching and his research skills and represented an ideal addition to our faculty. Accordingly, he was aggressively recruited and was appointed as a Full Professor with tenure." [Calnek, Bruce W. , A History of Avian Medicine at Cornell University 1898-2008.

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
