“…For instance, Arab countries have set national research priorities and changed the way to access public funding. Research funds expanded over the past two decades (Currie-Alder, 2015) and incentives were set to collaborate with distant and scientifically proficient foreign partners to connect with global scientific networks and improve the rank or Arab research organizations in international rankings of academic quality (Currie-Alder, 2019;Currie-Alder et al, 2018).…”

“…In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), nations have been looking to become knowledge-based economies (OECD, 1996). For example, oil-exporting countries established research funds and new universities as part of their transition to knowledge economies (Currie-Alder, 2019). A report from UNESCO (2015) provides some insights into the funding of science in MENA.…”

“…At that time, the investment in Research and Development reported by UNESCO was reported as low in the region. However, some changes were already taking place in terms of funding allocation, priority setting and promotion of collaboration to address large-scale societal challenges (Currie-Alder, 2019). Considerable investments in science and technology capacity have been made recently in MENA countries to promote research and innovation (Schmoch et al, 2016;Shin et al, 2012;Siddiqi et al, 2016).…”

Funding acknowledgments are important objects of study in the context of science funding. This study uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the funding acknowledgments found in 2.3 million scientific publications published between 2008 and 2021 by authors affiliated with research institutions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The aim is to identify the major funders, assess their contribution to national scientific publications, and gain insights into the funding mechanism in relation to collaboration and publication. Publication data from the Web of Science is examined to provide key insights about funding activities. Saudi Arabia and Qatar lead the region, as about half of their publications include acknowledgments to funding sources. Most MENA countries exhibit strong linkages with foreign agencies, mainly due to a high level of international collaboration. The distinction between domestic and international publications reveals some differences in terms of funding structures. For instance, Turkey and Iran are dominated by one or two major funders whereas a few other countries like Saudi Arabia showcase multiple funders. Iran and Kuwait are examples of countries where research is mainly funded by domestic funders. The government and academic sectors mainly fund scientific research in MENA whereas the industry sector plays little or no role in terms of research funding. Lastly, the qualitative analyses provide more context into the complex funding mechanism. The findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of the funding structure in MENA countries and provide insights to funders and research managers to evaluate the funding landscape.

“…Ibn Sina Muslim scientists explain the soul as the first Completion of natural (Beauchamp & Rios, 2020), mechanical and energetic forms of life (Currie-Alder, 2019). More specifically, the first perfection of the natural body means it is said to be perfect when it becomes human to act.…”

Hasan Hanafi’s Perspective Soul Theory

The soul does have its magnetic power, so discussions about the soul will continue as long as humans live. If abstract, it cannot be seen or felt but is believed to exist. Debates between scientists are commonplace about whether the soul exists or whether the soul is just a discussion of humans who cannot discuss what is experienced. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. Qualitative research does not carry out calculations in carrying out epistemological justification. Hasan Hanafi in this includes the soul in the formulation of theology. In Hasan Hanafi's theology, Hanafi tries to reconstruct theology by reinterpreting classical theological themes in a metaphorical-analogical way. Below are explained three important Hanafi thoughts related to the themes of kalam; the substance of God, the attributes of God and the Problem of Monotheism
