Subjects: Convenient sample of nursing interns students (N= 113) at Tanta University's main hospital and willing to participate in the study. Tool for data collection: Modified perceptions and expectations of role transition questionnaire were used. Results: Regarding total score of role transition, more than fifty (54.86%) of nursing interns perceived moderate level of role transition, almost fifty of nursing interns perceived low role transition in role preparation and organization and support domains (42.28%) and (49.56%) respectively. However, the majority of nursing internship (62.83%) perceived high role transition in role competency. Conclusion: This study concluded that nursing interns at Tanta University main hospital perceived level of role transition moderate, majority of them perceived high role transition in role competency domain while almost fifty of nursing interns perceived low role transition in role preparation and organization and support domains.

  • Diabetes and Its Complications May 28-29, 2018 Osaka, Japan
    Ibrahim El Bayoumy, J Diabetes Metab 2018, Volume 9 conferenceseries.com DOI: 10.4172/2155-6156-C3-084 International Conference on Diabetes and its Complications May 28-29, 2018 Osaka, Japan Identifying and addressing barriers for insulin use in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus Ibrahim El Bayoumy Tanta University, Egypt Background: Diabetes mellitus type-2 is characterized by gradual decrease in insulin sensitivity in the peripheral tissues and liver (insulin resistance), followed by gradual decline in β-cell function and insulin secretion. Thus, patients with poor glycemic control require the use of insulin therapy to achieve the target of American Diabetes Association, recommending HbA1c to be less than 7% (≥8% despite of optimal doses of anti-diabetic drugs). Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and addressing the barriers for use of insulin in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients, where their glycemic control is poor, i.e., HbA1c is ≥8% despite of optimal doses of anti-diabetic drugs. Research Design & Method: We surveyed 200 patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus, i.e., cross-sectional quantitative study; patients showed poor glycemic control HbA1c≥8%, already treated with one or more oral agents, who recently prescribed insulin to control their metabolic status. Data were obtained by patient’s interview using a validated questionnaire. The place of the study was in diabetes mellitus clinic in Farwaniyah Primary Health Care Center in Kuwait. Result: Patients with type-2 diabetes failing to initiate the prescribed insulin therapy have reported misconception regarding fear of hypoglycemia in 49% of the total sample, pain from injections in 68% and self-blame about need for insulin i.e., sense of failure in 61% of total sample of study.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

  • Specialty Choices Among Medical Students and Interns in Egyptian Accredited and Non Accredited Faculties of Medicine
    12 Current Science International 1(1): 12-19, 2011 ISSN: 2077-4435 Specialty Choices Among Medical Students And Interns In Egyptian Accredited And Non Accredited Faculties Of Medicine. Omnia S. El Seifi and Eman M. Mortada Department of Community, Environmental and Occupational Medicine, Faculty of Medicine – Zagazig University, Egypt. ABSTRACT Background: Worldwide, the process of specialty choices and how the graduates of medical schools select their areas of specialization is a growing concern. Objectives: 1) detect and compare specialty preference among Zagazig (non accredited) and Suez Canal (accredited) Universities' medical students and interns 2) study important factors that are considered when choosing the specialties and 3)determine if there is difference in choosing specialties according to gender and accreditation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2011 to May 2011 in Zagazig and Suez Canal faculties of medicine. Using multistage sampling technique, a sample from interns, 4th, 5th and 6th year medical students was included in the study. The sample size was (640) out of 2800 in Zagazig faculty of medicine and (374) out of 681 in Suez Canal faculty of medicine. Results: General Surgery have the 1st rank among other specialties in Zagazig faculty of medicine (17.5%) while Obstetrics & gynecology was the 1st choice in Suez Canal Faculty of Medicine (18.0%) with no significant difference between them except for Family medicine specialty which was significantly higher in Suez Canal Faculty of Medicine. Male choices were higher than females with significant differences in the following specialties; General Surgery, Ophthalmology, and Anesthesiology in both universities in addition to Radiology in Suez Canal University.

    Book of Abstracts th The 14 ​ International Symposium on ​ Comparative Literature “Writing Across Borders” th th (13 ​ -15 ​ November 2018) ​ ​ Book of Abstracts 1 Abstracts of Keynote Speakers 2 “Why does Writing Cross Borders?” Ibrahim Abdel Maguid (Keynote Speaker - Day 1) Man's dreams and hopes as well as experiences of pain and agony have always been a resource for creative writing par excellence. Taking shape in time and space, they all ​ ​ contribute to make writing the epitome of human existence. The question of writing crossing local borders and reaching for a wider audience worldwide has never been an act of straightforwardly communicating a moment in time as witnessed by the writer; this can be better documented by a historian. Only when the writer's characters become the voice of humanity at large, can they cross social, geographical and historical borders. A literary work is nonetheless a commodity in need of effective marketing strategies/mechanisms to reach beyond borders and convey a message from some part of the world probably known through media stereotypes. Far removed from the human and literary aspects of writing as it may sound, this fact pertains to our part of the world despite the proliferating translations of Arabic literature into world languages. Even worse is the fact that inter- Arab borders may prove difficult for Arab writers to cross partly under some immature political pretext or for feigned ethical sensitivities in the age of internet where borders have been dissolved. Writing is truly an individual talent's conceptualization of human experience but for it to cross borders more issues should be attended to.
