أتاتورك ورفاقه ونهاية العثمانيين
وثيقة تاريخية شديدة الأهمية والخطورة ؛ فصاحبها هو الطبيب العثماني / التركي / رضا نور، رفيق أتاتورك في حرب الاستقلال، والمرحلة الانتقالية من السلطنة والخلافة إلى الجمهورية الكمالية العلمانية. لم يكن \"رضا نور\" مجرد شاهد على العصر أو شاهد عيان ؛ وإنما كان في قلب الأحداث محركا لها، وصانعا لمجرياتها، وممسكا ببعض خيوطها. وهي-بالطبع-شهادة تخضع لكل معايير النقد التاريخي، فقد تحمل الكثير من الأكاذيب أو التبريرات أو المبالغات وتصفية الحسابات، وأيضا قد تحمل الكثير من الحقائق الصادمة، وتهدم العديد من أصنام الزعماء، والكثير من أوهام البطولات، وتصحح المزيد من المعلومات والمفاهيم حول أخطر مراحل التاريخ الإسلامي/ العثماني/ التركي ؛ إذ كانت هذه المرحلة زلزالا عنيفا اهتزت له المنطقة كلها، بل العالم الإسلامي وما حوله، وربما لا تزال توابعه تثير اهتزازات مؤثرة لتحرك المياه الراكدة في التاريخ والسياسة والفكر، وتمنحنا المفيد من دروس التاريخ في مخاطر التحول الأيديولوجي، ومخططات طمس الهوية، ومؤثرات صناعة الأمة والدولة.
BOOK
Learning from and Teaching Africans
This book brings together stories from the author's exciting life as a professor, consultant and researcher, mostly in Africa, but also in Japan, New Zealand, Norway and the US. The book is aimed at college students in cross-cultural communication and international education and with a special interest in African countries, their languages, their way of looking at life. It dismantles the myth of the thousands of African languages, and shows that many of them have millions of speakers and all of them are cross-border languages. Africans are not \"anglophone\", \"francophone\" or \"lusophone\"; they are afrophone. The book also discusses projects that aim at cooperation between universities in the North and the South. Why did two of the projects the author has been involved in succeed so well and a third one fail?.

Higher High-Sensitivity C Reactive Protein is Associated with Future Premature Ventricular Contraction: a Community Based Prospective Cohort Study
We aimed to determine whether hs-CRP is a predictor of future premature ventricular contraction (PVC) events in a community based population. A total of 101,510 participants were recruited at baseline (2006–2007). The follow-up visits were conducted every two years. Participants who were free from PVC at baseline and achieved the fourth visit, or diagnosed of PVC during the subsequent visits were included for analyses. Diagnosis of PVC was based on standard supine resting, 10-s 12-lead ECG. Cox regression was applied to evaluate the association between quartiles of hs-CRP and the incidence of PVCs. 60710 participants (male: 79.9%, mean age 49.4 years) were included for analyses. During a mean follow-up of 74.9 ± 7.4 months, 908 (1.5%) participants were diagnosed with PVC. Participants of the highest quartile of hs-CRP had significantly increased risk of PVC events as compared with the lowest quartile (HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.12–1.66); and stratified analyses showed similar result in males (HR 1.45; 95% CI 1.16–1.80), but not in females (HR 1.12; 95% CI 0.71–1.79). Moreover, elevated serum hs-CRP was associated with future PVC in participants without history of myocardial infarction or stroke (HR 1.34; 95% CI 1.09–1.65). Elevated hs-CRP was an independent predictor of PVC in Chinese population, especially in men.
