Published: June 2021

This pilot study aims to produce empirical evidence regarding the validity and reliability of instrument of the perception of vocational college diploma students towards the Outcome Based Education (OBE) approach. Validity and reliability were analysed using Rasch Model Measurement assisted by Winsteps 3.72 software. This research instrument contained 26 items and was distributed to 60 diploma students of vocational college at the Northern Zone. Validity analysis of the instrument was done through four functional testings. For reliability and separation of respondents, it was found that the individual reliability value was 0.91, while that for items demonstrated an item value of 0.94 and item separation index of 3.90. Results from the analysis of polarity item found that 25 items had a positive PMC value between 0.52-0.83. Meanwhile, analysis on item fit found 23 items with an outfit mean-square value between 0.41 and 1.24. This situation suggested three items that require attention. In the analysis on local dependence that determines dependent items based on the standardised residual correlation value, it was shown that the correlation value for the items used did not overlap with that of other items. These findings provided the evidence that the instrument of perception of vocational college diploma students on OBE approach has a high level of validity and reliability to be used in actual studies.Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â  Â

Published: June 2021

A cidade de Ribeirão Preto no interior do Estado de São Paulo no Brasil tem a mais de 20 anos atendimento pré-hospitalar de urgência pública e gratuita, mesmo assim os recursos disponíveis ainda são insuficientes para atender adequadamente a demanda da população. Por isso é necessário analisar se existe justiça distributiva, aos moldes aristotélicos, no geoprocessamento destes atendimentos, com a finalidade de avaliar o principio da equidade ao acesso neste serviço de saúde. Método: estudo transversal, incluindo 41.389 ocorrências de urgência pré-hospitalar de 2014, cujas variáveis permitiram a construção de um mapa para avaliar a distribuição espacial dos atendimentos no município. Resultado: Houve predomínio de atendimentos clínicos do tipo cardiológicos, maior número de atendimentos nos menores distritos urbanos e equivalência de socorro diante da variável sexo. A analise do mapeamento comprova aglomeração dos atendimentos nas regiões centrais. Conclusão: Os arranjos espaciais dos atendimentos estão aglomerados na região central da cidade, portanto não evidenciou-se justiça distributiva pelo ponto de vista aristotélico.
PİLAH-İŠTAR’IN EŞLERİ, BOŞANMALARI VE ÇOCUKLARI

Kayseri yakınlarındaki Kültepe Höyüğü’nde 1948 yılında başlayan ve günümüze kadar kesintisiz devam eden arkeolojik kazılar neticesinde yaklaşık 25.000 çivi yazılı belge gün yüzüne çıkarılmıştır. Eski Asur lehçesi ile yazılmış ve büyük çoğunluğu Asurlu tüccarlara ait olan bu metinler, hem tüccarların özel yaşantılarına dair az ama önemli hem de Asur Ticaret Kolonileri Dönemi hakkında bilgiler içermektedirler. 1988 yılında Kültepe’de ortaya çıkarılan tabletlerin büyük bir kısmı Asurlu tüccar Aššur-rē’ī ve oğlu Pilah-İštar’a ait olup onların Anadolu’daki ticari faaliyetleri ile özel hayatlarına dair detay içermeyen bazı bilgileri günümüze taşımaktadırlar. Bu metinler, Pilah-İštar’ın, MÖ. tak. 1883 ile 1859 yılını biraz aşan bir zaman arasında, Anadolu’da iki kez evlendiğini ancak her iki evliliğinin de boşanmayla neticelendiğini göstermekte, çocukları hakkında da yeterli bilgi vermemektedir. Öyle ki birden fazla çocuğu olduğunu bilmemize rağmen, metinlerde sadece Lamassī adındaki kızından bahsedilmekte, diğer çocukların sayı ve cinsiyetleri hakkında herhangi bir açık kayda rastlanmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada kendi arşivindekiler başta olmak üzere diğer arşivlerdeki metinler de dikkate alınarak, bildiğimiz kadarıyla, yaşamının yaklaşık 30 yılını Anadolu’da geçiren Pilah-İštar’ın evlilikleri, boşanmaları ve çocukları hakkında bazı bilgilendirme ve değerlendirmeler yapılacak, böylelikle Asurlu bir tüccarın özel yaşamı kısmen de olsa ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.

Financial Awareness Training
Authors: Iqbal Saki
Published: June 2021

The finance department at Lancashire Care has always delivered financial training to support budget holders, clinicians and managers. The COVID–19 pandemic threatened to curtail these important interactions.  Understandably financial training wasn’t a priority as the pandemic manifested but as the months progressed and a sense of routine developed, clinicians reached out to the finance department to request some financial awareness training.  It demonstrated that whilst the NHS has had to cope and manage with the ‘greatest threat to mental health since the second world war’ (Guardian, Dec 2020), clinical and finance colleagues decided that the show must go on!
This article describes the training that was delivered and how finance departments can still interact and engage with non-finance colleagues during these challenging times.

Published: June 2021

The purpose of this paper is to show how one common thing can make a huge difference in someone’s life and how in fact even though a lot of things seem to be misplaced or out of order, at the end of the day everything is just where it is supposed to be. We sometimes try and picture how everything would look like if we would have taken a different path. But who knows where that would have led us to? Life is an event filled with motion and is the pure fact that keeps us going. You either go with it or it takes over you...unless you find a way to stay ahead of it.

Critical Success Factors for Fundraising in Non-Profit Organisations: An Emerging Market Perspective
Authors: Sayutia Baba , Divine Caesar Livingstone
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Non-profit organisations (NPOs) are key players in the socio-economic development of nations. This is evident in their proliferation at the local, national and international levels. Despite their increasing number, NPOs are confronted with diverse challenges which hinder their sustainability. This paper highlights some of the challenges confronting NPOs especially in the area of fundraising from an emerging market perspective. It examines some critical factors that drive success in fundraising among NPOs. Using a quantitative research design, a survey was sent to 200 randomly sampled participants with 130 responses received and the data analysed using Exploratory Factor Analysis and regression analysis. It emerged that having proper structures, coupled with credibility and accountability was critical to successful fundraising among NPOs in emerging markets. Also, NPOs need to carefully address a complex mix of external and internal issues to successfully raise funds for their operations. Prevailing economic conditions stood out as a key determinant of fundraising success. The study also revealed that the giving motive of fund givers was very important in affecting the relationships between economic conditions, internal resources of the entities, organisational strategy and success in fundraising.
Keywords: Non-profit organisations, emerging market, fundraising, critical success factors, accountability, economic conditions.

Published: June 2021

Erysipelas is an infectious disease seen mainly in growing pigs and characterized clinically by fever, arthritis, skin lesions and sudden death. The disease may be acute, subacute, or chronic. Swine erysipelas is a disease caused by a specific micro organ Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae whic h is a zoonotic ubiquitous gram-positive bacterium that causes erysipelas in swine, mammals, birds and erysipeloid in humans. People in contact with animals, animal products or animal wastes are at greatest risk. The acute form of swine erysipelas may have been confused for other diseases in pigs which are characterized by acute symptoms such as sudden death (for example, African swine fever). It can be diagnosed by its clinical signs, necropsy findings, bacteriology, antimicrobial response, molecular and serological examinations. It is recommended to increase awareness of the disease among animal and human practitioners as treatment is easy and available and vaccination is possible. However, the disease is still unknown to local veterinarians, clinical doctors, meat inspectors, butchers and laboratory personnel. Proper hygiene, regular pork inspection, use of protective wear among people working/ in contact with animals should be promoted. The disease causes high economic loss in pig rearing areas and influences the public health being a severe zoonotic disease. So the objective of this review is to create a better understanding of the disease for proper control and prevention of the disease

İslam Dininde Tevhid-Özgürlük İlişkisi
Authors: ÇETİN Maksut
Published: June 2021

İslam, Yüce Allah’ın insanlığa gönderdiği son ilahi dindir. İslam’a göre varlık, zorunlu ve mümkün olmak üzere ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Zorunlu varlık, bir ve tek, mümküne bağlı olmayan, irade ve kudreti sonsuz olan Yüce Yaratıcı’dır. O’nun dışındaki diğer şeyler ise mümkün varlık olarak kabul edilmektedir. Mümkünün, kendi başına var olması ve varlığını devam ettirmesi söz konusu değildir. Aksine varlığı, tamamen Zorunlu varlığa bağlıdır. Bu varlık kategorisinde irade ve seçim sahibi olan somut yegâne varlık insandır. Gerçek anlamda sadece insanın irade ve tercihi, özgürlük ve sorumluluğu vardır. Bu bağlamda insanın, Yüce Yaratıcı’yla, kendisiyle ve diğer varlıklarla bilinçli bir etkileşimi söz konusudur. Bu etkileşim, bizzat kendi hür iradesiyle gerçekleşir ki, buna da “insan özgürlüğü” denir. Özgürlük tanımında gelince, insan iradesinin ne kendisi ne de her hangi bir kişi veya durum tarafından engellenmemesi ya da her hangi bir davranışa zorlanmamasıdır. Diğer bir ifadeyle özgürlük, kişinin, kendi inanç, fikir ve davranışlarını her hangi bir baskı ve engel olmadan belirleyebilmesidir. Özgürlük, öncelikle Allah’tan başkasına kul olmamak ve nihayetinde içgüdü ve tutkularının güdümünden kurtulmak demektir. Fakat böyle bir durum, insanın kendi Yaratıcı’sına karşı istediği gibi davranma iznini vermemektedir. Özgürlük denilince ilk olarak insanın, Allah’a karşı görev ve sorumlulukları, daha sonra kendine ve nihayet diğer varlıklara karşı tutum ve davranışları akla gelir. Evet insan, başta Yüce Yaratıcı’ya, sonra kendine ve daha sonra ise var olan bütün unsurlara karşı sorumluluğu söz konusudur. Bu yüzden o, nefsini ve tabiatı istediği gibi kullanıp tahrip ederek değil, ancak onları koruyup geliştirerek kullanabilir. Sonuç olarak denilebilir ki, insan, mutlak özgür olan Allah’a nispet edince cebir altında, mutlak cebir altında olan diğer mümkün varlıklara göre ise özgürdür.

Published: June 2021

Suicide among adolescent has emerged as a major public health issue in many low and middle-income (LAMI) countries. Suicidal behavior including ideation and attempt are the most important predictors of completed suicide and offer critical points for intervention. This article reviews recent population and national data based studies of adolescent suicide and suicide attempters for analyzing risk factors for adolescent suicide and suicidal behavior. According to WHO estimates, 800,000 suicide deaths occurred worldwide in 2016 and it is the third leading cause of death for 15-19 year olds. The suicide rate in Bangladesh was 5.9 per 100,000 population in 2016 (4.7 for males and 7.0 for females). Approximately, 90 percent of suicide cases meet criteria for a psychiatric disorder, particularly major depression, substance abuse and prior suicide attempts are strongly related to adolescent suicides. The relationship between psychiatric disorders and adolescent suicide is now well established. Factors related to family adversity, social alienation and precipitating problems also contribute to the risk of suicide. The main target of effective prevention of adolescent suicides is to reduce suicide risk factors. Recognition and effective management and control of psychiatric disorders, e.g. depression, are essential in preventing adolescent suicides. Research on the treatment of diagnosed depressive disorders and of those with suicidal behavior is reviewed.

Authors: Cantanhêde de Oliveira Cruz Marcella , Pereira Campos Letícia , Da Costa Maynard Dayanne
Published: June 2021

Com o passar dos anos, os hábitos alimentares e o consumo alimentar ganharam uma nova forma e passaram a impactar em novas escolhas alimentares, uma vez que o ato de se alimentar sugere um momento de prazer e nutrição, o tipo de comportamento alimentar pode se referir a um momento de escape de emoções descontroladas podendo estar associado a transtornos alimentares. Com isso, a imagem corporal, principalmente após a evolução da mídia, representa um grande reconhecimento social que leva a interpretação de felicidade, confiança e autoestima. O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal, avaliar a percepção de satisfação com a imagem corporal e comportamento alimentar correlacionado a autoestima de adultos, voltado para uma pesquisa do tipo transversal e descritiva, avaliada por meio de questionários aprovados e publicados, sendo eles BSQ (Body Shape Questionnaire), Escala de Silhueta de Kakeshita, EAT-26 (Eating Attitudes Test) e Escala de Rosenberg. A amostra foi composta por 306 participantes, onde foi constatado que 36,3% da amostra encontra-se em excesso de peso (sobrepeso e obesidade) e 52% da amostra apresentam algum grau de insatisfação corporal. O público masculino na sua maioria apresenta estado de sobrepeso/obesidade, porém não demonstram insatisfação com o corpo se comparado com o público feminino que apresentou 45,4% para algum tipo de insatisfação corporal. Observou-se neste estudo, que 88,6% de todos os adultos estão com a autoestima baixa e que apenas 11,4% apresentam a autoestima elevada. Na coleta, dos 271 participantes com autoestima baixa, 26,6% apresentam maior risco para Transtorno Alimentar de acordo com o EAT-26. Portanto, é possível concluir que existe uma relação direta entre distorção de imagem corporal e baixa autoestima, como também, há uma maior relação entre risco de transtorno alimentar no público feminino.

O artigo discute como a raça é, em um primeiro movimento, rechaçada no campo biomédico enquanto categoria que não tem sentido para a prática em saúde. Contudo, na realidade concreta, torna-se uma presença-ausente que perpassa tanto as produções tecno-científicas quanto as atividades clínicas. A raça figura, assim, enquanto um efeito aparentemente inesperado das tecnologias biomédicas quando estas se revelam orientadas por um ideal branco que toma os corpos como universais.

La búsqueda de los cadáveres de las víctimas de la represión extrajudicial franquista ha permitido en los últimos años la exhumación e identificación científica de miles de cuerpos enterrados en fosas co- munes. Para algunas familias que no consiguen localizar los restos de sus familiares represaliados, sin embargo, los procesos de exhumación se convierten en espacios desde los que articular una historia familiar inconclusa. En este artículo analizamos cómo la búsqueda frustrada del cuerpo genera otras pesquisas familiares infatigables con el fin de evidenciar la vida y muerte del familiar desaparecido. Basándonos en los resultados de la investigación antropológica realizada durante una campaña de exhumación en Extremadura en 2011, argüimos que estas búsquedas dan pie a nuevos archivos fa­miliares desde los que los descendientes dan sentido a una biografía fragmentada. El trabajo concluye que otras formas íntimas de identificación y reconocimiento del familiar tienen lugar en estos archivos compuestos por los rastros antagónicos que dejó la represión franquista.

Giresun ve Tokat Müzelerinden İki Bizans Kurşun Mührü
Authors: ELAM Nilgun
Published: June 2021

Bu çalışmada Giresun ile Tokat Müzeleri envanterinde yer alan yayınlanmamış iki adet kurşun mühür tanıtılmaktadır. 11. yüzyıla ait bu mühürler, Vaspourakan Ermeni Krallığı’nın son hükümdarı Senachereim Artzrouni/Arkrouni’nin oğullarından ve Sebasteia Theması’nın idarecilerinden Aposahles Senachereim’e (Ermenice Սենեքերիմ, Σεναχηρείμ) aittir. Aposachles, Giresun mühründe kouropalates onursal unvanıyla, Tokat mühründe ise daha yüksek nobelissimos unvanıyla karşımıza çıkmaktadır. İoannes Skylitzes ve Urfalı Mateos gibi Ortaçağ tarihçilerinin kayıtları, Aposachles gibi Ermeni prenslerinin Bizans idaresiyle inişli çıkışlı bir seyir izleyen ilişkilerinin İmparator X. Konstantinos Doukas ve IV. Romanos Diogenes dönemlerinde yaşanan gerilimli olaylar yüzünden kopma noktasına geldiğini düşündürmektedir. Oysaki X. Konstantinos Doukas ya da VII. Michael Doukas dönemine tarihlenen kouropalates mührü ile III. Nikephoros Botaneiates ya da I. Aleksios Komnenos dönemine tarihlenen nobelissimos mührü, yazılı kaynakların iddia ettiklerinin tersine Bizans imparatorlarının Aposahles’i saf dışı bırakmayıp aksine onu daha yüksek unvanlarla onurlandırarak terfi ettirdiklerini kanıtlamaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, Bizans idaresinin Sebasteia’nın idarecileri Ermeni prenslerine disiplinsizliğiyle ünlü Ermeni ahaliyi zapt u rapt altına alma ve önlenemeyen Türk ilerleyişi karşısında bölge üzerindeki egemenliğini sağlamlaştırma konusunda ne kadar büyük bir önem atfettiğini gösteren sağlam tanıklardır.
Trabzon Metropoliti Tarafından 1858’de Rus Çarı’na Hediye Edilen XIII. Yüzyıla Ait Rumca Bir Eser: Halk Kütüphanesindeki Trabzon El Yazması

Osmanlı Devleti, bünyesinde barındırdığı gayrimüslim cemaatlerin ruhani temsilcilerine kendi cemaatlerini yönetme hakkı tanımıştır. Bu bağlamda cemaatlerin dini ve hukuki hizmetlerinin yanı sıra eğitim öğretim hizmetleri de dini otoritenin görev ve yetki alanına girmekteydi. Trabzon’da 1682’de kurulan Rum Mektebi’nin daha elverişli bir binada faaliyet göstermesi çabası 19. yüzyılda ciddi bir ivme kazanmıştı. Konstantios Karaopoulos'un Trabzon Rum Metropoliti olmasından sonra (1830-1879) hem metropolitan kilisesinin hem de Rum Mektebi binasının yenilenmesi gündeme gelmiştir. Bu iş için Trabzonlu Rumlar ve Fener Patrikhanesinin maddi katkılarının dışında Rus Çarlığı coğrafyasından da yardım toplanması kararlaştırılmıştır. Bu nedenle Konstantios Karaopoulos, Rusya’dan para toplayabilmek için bir seyahate çıkmış ve Rus Çarı II: Aleksandr’ı ziyaret ederek ondan yardım toplama izni talep etmiştir. Trabzon Metropoliti Konstantios 1858 yılında gerçekleşen bu ziyarette Trabzon’dan getirdiği bir el yazması eseri Çar’a hediye etmiştir. Trabzonlu bir Rum tarafından Rumca olarak kaleme alınmış olan ve 1917’de Prof. F. İ. Uspenski’nin bir makalesine konu olan bu eserde; Kral Andronikos Gidos (1222-1235) döneminde Trabzon Rum Devleti ile Türkiye Selçukluları arasında yaşanan mücadeleler anlatılmaktadır. Özellikle de Selçuklu Sultanı Alaaddin Keykubat döneminde oğlu Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev’in Trabzon Rum Devleti başkentini ele geçirmek için düzenlediği seferde yaşanılanlar ve esir edilmesi, Trabzonlu bir Rum’un gözüyle aktarılmaktadır. Bu yazıda, bugüne kadar Türkçe literatürde adı geçmemiş olan bu Rumca eser, Uspenski’nin makalesi esas alınarak tanıtılmaya çalışılmıştır.
O Ilá das Iyabás em Alma da África: anciãs e deusas de Antonio Olinto
Authors: Costa José Ricardo da
Published: June 2021

Nesse artigo, buscaremos refletir sobre a relação que se estabelece entre as representações da mulher idosa e as deusas da mitologia orixaísta, as iyabás, na trilogia Alma da África (2007) de Antonio Olinto, estabelecendo, principalmente, um olhar sobre a importância dessas anciãs na organização de famílias matrifocais. Buscaremos mostrar que a estrutura familiar matrifocal, fundamental na sociedade tribal africana, reaparece, tanto na sociedade brasileira – notadamente dentre as mulheres afrodescendentes, quanto na sociedade do período de descolonização africana. Em  A Casa da Água (2007), primeiro tomo da trilogia Alma da África, lançado em 1967, estudaremos a desterritorialização e a reterritorialização de duas personagens, Catarina – que recupera, posteriormente, seu verdadeiro nome, Ainá – e Epifânia. Em O Rei de Keto (2007), lançado originalmente em 1980, resgataremos a busca da velha comerciante Aduké pela educação de sua filha, Ainá, dentro dos valores tribais, enquanto sua sucessora no matriarcado. Finalmente, em Trono de Vidro (2007), lançado pela comemoração do centenário da abolição da escravatura, em 1987, encontraremos Mariana, que aparecera, na infância e fase adulta, em A Casa da Água (2007), mostrando sua força nos âmbitos sociais, políticos e econômicos, nas vésperas de completar, ela própria, seu centenário, auxiliando a neta, Mariana Ilufemi, na redemocratização do fictício país de Zorei. A partir de teóricos como Beauvoir, Elias, Bordieu, Davis e Meletínski,  este estudo tenta reconhecer a influência da mítica orixaísta, na figura de suas deusas ancestrais, na consolidação de um matriarcado tribal.

Cancer is a group of diseases that are defined as uncontrolled cell proliferation, impaired function of vital tissues and cell death. Chemotherapy is treatment using anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells or control the growth of these cells. In chemotherapy applications pharmacologically active anticancer drugs reach with low specificity to tumor tissue, and also their toxicity is dose-dependent. Classical drug administration routes are either oral or intravenous. Orally taken pills result in irregular pharmacokinetics due to the passages of different metabolic pathways and their low specificity. This leads to frequent damage to healthy tissues. Nanoparticle containing drug delivery systems may overcome these harmful side effects partially (or sometimes totally). Binding peptide-drug conjugates inside of some appropriate nanoparticles is one of the prominent methods among targeted drug delivery systems. Such a system containing Pazopanib (Pz) and Pemetrexed (Pm) drug complexes attached to magnetite nanoparticles with a short polypeptide chain (Ala-Lys-Ala-Leu-Arg-Cys) were designed in our laboratory. In the present study, we computationally investigate the conjugation mechanisms of Pz and Pm drug molecules to the above-mentioned polypeptide chain. The stable structures on the complex formation pathways and their free energy values were obtained at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level in the water. The mechanism of Pept-Pz complex formation has two steps whose free energy barriers are found to be 21.37 and 27.72 kcal/mol. On the other hand, the free energy barrier of the Pept-Pm complex having a single-step mechanism was calculated as 28.16 kcal/mol.
Muhammed b. Mustafa el-Bucevî el-İzmîrî’nin Kazâ, Kader, Fal ve Astrolojiye İlişkin “Risâle fî ẕemmi’l-müşteġilîn bi’l-faʾl ve’l-kehâneti ve’n-nücûm” Adlı Risâlesinin Tahkik, Tahlil ve Tercümesi

Çalışma, Muhammed b. Mustafa el-Bucevî el-İzmîrî’nin fal, astronomi ve kehânetin teolojik sakıncaları ve bunların imân ve kaderle ilişkisini ihtiva eden risâlesini incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Ayrıca risâlenin tahkikli neşri ve tercümesi de yapılarak literatüre kazandırılacaktır. Risâle müellifin makâle şeklinde isimlendirdiği iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. İlk makâlede kadere imân, insan fiilleri ve irâdesi gibi konular incelenirken Mâtürîdî ve Eşʿarî geleneklerine atıfta bulunmaksızın selefin fiiller hususunda “Ne cebir ne de tefvîz vardır yalnızca bu ikisi arasında bir durum vardır” şeklindeki yaklaşımı ön plana çıkarılarak onanmaktadır. Müellif ikinci bölümde Birgivî’nin (ö. 981/1573) et-Ṭarîḳatü’l-Muḥammediyye eserinden istifade ederek, astroloji ve fal gibi şeylerle iştigal etmenin teolojik zararları üzerinde durmaktadır. Muhammed el-İzmîrî, yıldız ilimleriyle uğraşmanın şerʾî yönden nehyedilen ilimler kategorisine dahil olduğunu ancak bazı şerʾî ilimlerin bilinmesine vesile olması durumunda caiz olduğunu kabul etmektedir. Müellif bu ilimlerin gaybî olan durumların ve olayların bilinmesinde bir faydalarının olmadığını izah etmektedir. Dahası müellif, insanın imtihan edildiğinin bilincinde olması, şerʿî amel ve iyiliklere sarılması gerektiğini tavsiye vermektedir.

Published: June 2021

Information is an important and vital source for each and every kind of organizations, institutions and so on. Information is very much close to the data and knowledge. Previously only information related affairs viz. collection to dissemination performed by the manual tools and techniques but the development of science and technology played a vital role in respect of information affairs. Initially, Documentation Science is treated as most important and valuable but gradually other subjects viz. Information Studies played a lead role in performing the jobs. Gradually another nomenclature became popular and played a great role in the information related affairs i.e. Information Science. It is important to note that at the beginning of the domain the performance and activities are mainly governed by the manual tools and techniques but gradually technologies influenced a better role. The requirement of information and contents in other areas and sectors lead the uses of domain ‘Information Science’. The domain thus combined with manual information management affairs and also technological components. The field Information Science and its applications in other subjects and sectors developed newer fields and domains viz. Health Information Science, Geo Information Science etc. Higher Educational Institutes (HEIs) in India doing well in respect of starting of new programs and new age degrees. The Private universities are suitably contributing for the development of Information Science and Technology field for other domains. This paper is a case study; and investigation of private universities in India with reference to domain centric Information Science/ IT programs.
