These themes also serve to frame UNESCO’s 2009 World Conference on Higher Education programme. CALENDAR OF EVENTS 28 Unmistakably, the examples that are showcased in this issue only scratch the surface of the multiple and innovative ways in which universities and other higher education institutions tackle challenges such as: improving accessibility to higher education, contributing to the eradication of poverty, raising awareness for sustainable development and finding more sustainable paths towards economic growth, combating disease and promoting health, improving the quality of learning at other levels of education, preparing students for a far more globalized world among many other areas. This issue of IAU Horizons deliberately shares with the readers as many of IAU members’ achievements as possible in the available space, rather than offering information about the work of the Secretariat. However, IAU priorities are well-aligned with the topics that will be debated in Paris between 5 and 8 July during the 2009 WCHE and certainly the IAU leadership and secretariat staff will play an active part during the event. IAU is The views expressed in the articles published fully engaged to help UNESCO move towards a concrete, well-resourced action plan in IAU Horizons are those of the authors which will help governments, institutional leaders, faculty members, students and all and do not necessarily reflect the views of the stakeholders strengthen higher education and research systems worldwide. IAU is International Association of Universities. ‘Building a worldwide higher education community’ and it is the Association’s hope that UNESCO will strengthen its efforts in making this community a strong and viable one!

As this objective goes against many of the structural and economic interests in the city, the 'illogical' aspects of plans and regulations would be expected to be immediately transgressed. Surprisingly, however, municipal regulation of investments for significant new uses of property is strong, as is the provision of services to neighborhoods with little to no expected returns.

My research sought to better understand these issues and the lived experience and human condition of the Syrian Diaspora. In my research, I thought through this main question: How do Syrian newcomers come to make sense of what it means to have lost a home and a homeland as it relates to the Syrian Diasporic experience? I broached the Syrian diasporic subject by thinking through an anti-Orientalist, anti- colonial framework, and I engaged autoethnography as a research methodology and as a method as I reflexively thought through and wrote from my own personal experience as a Syrian immigrant so that I could better understand the Syrian refugee’s human experience.

  • SUMMARY Summary
    SUMMARY Summary Syrian Arab Republic (hereinafter called “Syria”) is divided into four regions: the western region that consists of coastal plains and mountains along the Mediterranean, the northern region that encompasses granaries irrigated by the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the eastern desert region bordered by Iraq, and the southern region that primarily comprised of the Golan Heights. Aleppo City, where the target facilities of this project are situated, is the second largest city in Syria and located between the Mediterranean coastal area and the granaries 160 kilometers northeast of Latakia, a coastal city along the Mediterranean. The basic health indices of Syria are relatively better than those of surrounding countries. The under-five death rate is 32 per 1,000 births (cf. the Middle East/ Northern African average is 66 per 1,000 births), the infant death rate is 26 per 1,000 births (cf. the Middle East/Northern African average is 51 per 1,000), the average life expectancy is 69 years (cf. the Middle East/ Northern African average is 66). Major causes of death include cardiovascular diseases, accidents, and congenital defects. The morbidity rates of infectious diseases that are characteristics of developing countries are also lower than the average. However, the country’s population is growing at a high rate of 2.7%. It is necessary to upgrade the health/medical and emergency care service systems to accommodate the growing population. Outlined below are basic policies of the 8th five-year plan (1996-2000) for the Syrian health/medical sector. The 9th five-year plan (2001-2005) is currently under development and said to follow mostly the previous plan’s policies, which aim to: ① Enhance the quality and quantity of medical services.
