  • Plan of Action for the Prevention, Care & Treatment of Viral Hepatitis
    Plan of Action for the Prevention, Care & Treatment of Viral Hepatitis, Egypt 2014-2018 Viral hepatitis is a global health problem that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Globally, it is estimated that approximately 1.4 million persons die annually from all types of viral hepatitis. Egypt has one of the highest global burdens of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, with an estimated 10%, over 6 million people between 15-59 years, being chronically infected. Tragically, an estimated 150,000 new people are being infected annually, and thousands die every year. In recognition of the enormity of the problem, in 2012, the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP), in collaboration with stakeholders, developed the “Plan of Action for the Prevention, Care & Treatment of Viral Hepatitis, Egypt” (PoA) which focuses on the seven main components of viral hepatitis prevention and control: surveillance, infection control, blood safety, hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination, care & treatment, communication, and research. The PoA highlights the important goals and objectives of the MOHP’s viral hepatitis program and reflects the MOHP’s commitment to controlling the viral hepatitis epidemic by preventing new infections. Finalizing the “Plan of Action for the Prevention, Care & Treatment of Viral Hepatitis, Egypt” was a huge step toward achieving MOHP’s new vision aimed at National Eradication of Viral Hepatitis. In addition, MOHP has recently introduced new, highly-effective medications to treat HCV infection at an affordable price; these medications have been shown to cure over 90% of those receiving the treatment. With this vision in mind, MOHP is urging all concerned parties to join forces and turn this plan into action which will not only stop the vicious circle of transmission of infection; but will also increase the effectiveness of new treatment and assist MOHP in translating its vision into reality.

  • List of Recipients 2001-2018
    Recipients of the Leigh Douglas Memorial Prize 2001-2018 2018 Joint Winners (£300 each) Cailah Jackson Patrons and Artists at the Crossroads: the Islamic Arts of the Book in the Lands of Rum, 1270s – 1370s (University of Oxford) This thesis presents the first detailed survey of a representative group of illuminated manuscripts produced in Anatolia in pre-Ottoman times, examining Qur’ans, mirrors for princes, historical chronicles, and Sufi works. In addition to examining 16 such manuscripts in appropriate detail, the thesis considers them more generally through quite another lens: namely that of the political and cultural environment of Anatolia (principally western Anatolia) between c.1270 and c.1370. This approach highlights the period’s ethnic and religious pluralism, the extent of cross-cultural exchange, the region’s complex political situation after the breakdown of Saljuq rule, and the impact of wandering scholars, Sufis and craftsmen....The strengths of the thesis lie in its thorough codicological examination of these 16 Persian and Arabic manuscripts, most of which have not been examined with this degree of depth before, and in so doing it constructs a framework for further research on similar manuscripts produced in this period and region. ...For art historians its rich array of illustrations, most of them still unpublished, will be of special interest. Altogether it brings into sharper focus than before the role of illuminated manuscripts in the cultural history of Anatolia in the 13th century....The thesis is very well written; the author’s style is elegant and lucid, which makes it a pleasure to read. She keeps a proper balance between three competing types of discourse: technical analysis of the manuscripts themselves, a detailed discussion of their patrons and their specific local context; and finally, more general discussion of such larger themes as religious pluralism, the cultural level of Turkmen princes, the fashion for mirrors for princes, the impact of the Black Death, and the pervasive impact of Sufism.

The Egyptian civilization is thought to have been begun in about 3150 BC until 31 BC. For the ancient Greek civilization, it started in the period of Minoan (ca. 3200 BC) up to the ending of the Hellenistic era. There are various parallels and dissimilarities between both civilizations. They co-existed during a certain timeframe (from ca. 2000 to ca. 146 BC); however, they were in two different geographic areas. Both civilizations were massive traders, subsequently, they deeply influenced the regional civilizations which have developed in that region. Various scientific and technological principles were established by both civilizations through their long histories. Water management was one of these major technologies. Accordingly, they have significantly influenced the ancient world’s hydro-technologies.
