“Balance Wheel” for teaching students of pedagogical direction
Authors: Drujinina Anastasia M.
Published: July 2022

We consider the pedagogical technique “Balance Wheel” as a tool for teaching students of pedagogical directions, including project methods of teaching. We also analyze the key possibilities of using the “Balance Wheel” scheme for various forms of control over the cognitive activity of students and for determining the results of the educational process that must be achieved by the end of the semester in a particular discipline. For teachers, the “Balance Wheel” can become a tool for evaluating and planning educational activities. Students’ education is based on the principle of being independent and fully immersive in the development of a pedagogical tool at the time of project training, which will further simplify the task for future teachers in their own professional activities. The advantage of this tool is its adaptability to various disciplines, types of work, as well as the goals and objectives of both the teacher and student. The “Balance Wheel” can also be used as a scheme for writing and implementing a pedagogical project with specifically developed steps and deadlines for implementation, to track the dynamics and effectiveness relative to the stated goal.

Published: July 2022

The aim of the research. To study the influence of empathic care level provided by the attending physician on the level of chronic gastritis patients’ adherence to treatment and on therapy effectiveness. Material and methods. A total of 302 patients with chronic gastritis were examined. Depending on the level of patients’ adherence to treatment, the patients were divided into 4 groups. Group 1: 96 patients with chronic gastritis associated with H. pylori; group 2: 110 patients with chronic gastritis not associated with H. pylori. Patients in these groups had a high level of adherence. Group 3 was formed from 36 patients with chronic gastritis associated with H. pylori who rejected treatment; group 4 included 60 patients with chronic gastritis associated with H. pylori who partially adhered to the physician’s recommendations. The “Consultation and Relational Empathy Measure” (CARE Measure) questionnaire was used to assess the degree of empathy that arose between the physician and the patient during examination. Results. The maximum degree of eradication of the causative agent of chronic gastritis was over 80% and the minimum frequency of clinical manifestations and complications of the disease was observed in group 1. Patients of this group fully adhered to the physician’s recommendations and had high scores on the CARE Measure questionnaire at the beginning of the study (44 points), as well as the maximum number of visits to the physician in the observation period (9.0 [7.0; 10.0]) in comparison to groups 2 and 3 (8.0 [6.0; 9.0] and 5.0 [3.0; 6.0], respectively; p=0.012). The minimum result was noted in group 3, which was due to the extremely low adherence of these patients. At the same time, these patients noted a low level of empathy on the part of the doctor, which made a significant contribution to the decrease in the level of their adherence to treatment. Conclusion. The CARE score may be used as a criterion of chronic gastritis patients’ adherence to treatment and as a predictor of therapy effectiveness .
Perspectives of Muslim and Minority Canadian Youth on Hate Speech and Social Media
Authors: Arshad-Ayaz Adeela , Naseem M. Ayaz , Hizaoui Hedia
Published: July 2022

In this article, we highlight the perspectives of marginalized Canadian youth regarding hate speech on social media. Specifically, our research focus is on the complexity and intersectionality involved in cyber violence, especially in relation to marginalized identities. Twenty-five participants aged 18 to 25 studying at a central Canadian University (from an initial sample of 90 participants) who self-identified as victims of hate speech were invited to share their experiences and narrate their stories. Research results demonstrate that online hate speech is growing in Canada to an extent where it is has become normalized. This has serious implications for the well-being of Canadian youth - both perpetrators and victims of hate speech. The main targets of hate speech on social media in Canada are immigrants and minorities, particularly Muslims. Results show that online hate speech has significant consequences for the lives of Canadian youth. The repercussions for the victim's mental and physical well-being manifest in problems ranging from alienation, identity issues, deterioration of psychological and physical health to cyber and in-person bullying, and much more. The study concludes that while there are definite links between the rise of online hate speech, deterioration of mental and physical health, and increased attacks on immigrants and minorities, not much action has gone into policymaking and education to correct the situation.

Authors: Silvestre Estela Flor de Maria , Oliveira Alexandre Faria de
Published: July 2022

Introdução: A gestão de risco apresenta-se como um instrumento de contingência que pode ser aplicado em diversas situações de ameaças e vulnerabilidade. A preservação digital não está distante desta realidade, seja por motivos de obsolescência tecnológica, fatores humanos, fatores do meio ambiente, geográficos ou pandêmicos. Estes podem causar danos irreversíveis ao nosso acervo informacional caso não estejamos preparados para atuar. Objetivo: Estabelecer o estado da arte sobre a Gestão de Risco e Preservação Digital, por meio da identificação de assuntos pesquisados, embasamento teórico-conceitual, metodologias e ferramentas utilizadas, tipo de publicação, autores mais citados, resultados e conclusões dos estudos. Metodologia: Consiste na análise documental de oito pesquisas sobre o tema, identificadas por meio de levantamento bibliográfico em bases de dados e buscadores da Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), Base de Dados em Ciência da Informação (Brapci), Portal de Periódicos Capes e Google Acadêmico. Resultados: Revelam que é necessária uma pesquisa mais aprofundada sobre o tema, considerando-se que ela pode contribuir para a preservação da memória informacional.  Conclusão: Por fim, foram identificadas três dissertações de mestrado, um artigo, um capitulo de livro e três anais. As temáticas abordam os tipos de ameaças que podem acometer os acervos digitais, o cenário de acidentes para a preservação digital e os métodos de análise de risco para a preservação digital.
Preservação de sites oficiais
Authors: Luz Ana Javes
Published: July 2022

Introdução: O artigo apresenta iniciativas de arquivamento da web adotadas em países de três diferentes continentes: América do Norte (Estados Unidos e México), Europa (França e Portugal) e América do Sul (Chile e Brasil), a fim de compreender desafios políticos e tecnológicos que envolvem a preservação de sites oficiais. Objetivo: Apresentar as potencialidades e as barreiras que cada iniciativa possui, bem como analisar comparativamente a atual situação brasileira. O artigo detalha ainda o projeto de lei federal no 2.431/2015, em tramitação na Câmara dos deputados, cujo objetivo é impedir o apagamento de informações inseridas em sites oficiais brasileiros. Metodologia: Pesquisa histórico-documental e o estudo de caso. Resultados: Demonstra que os Estados Unidos se destacam dentre os países analisados, com avançado projeto de arquivamento dos sites dos mandatos presidenciais. O Brasil, por sua vez, não possui uma política pública instituída para salvaguarda dessas mídias. Conclusão: A pesquisa permitiu concluir ainda que as iniciativas governamentais atualmente em curso para a preservação de websites oficiais estão em fases distintas de implementação e, dessa forma, alcançam resultados ora satisfatórios, ora aquém do necessário para garantir o acesso presente e futuro aos websites governamentais, fonte de informação sobre temas de interesse público nas democracias contemporâneas. No caso brasileiro, destaca-se também o vácuo institucional sobre o tema, demonstrando a necessidade de dar maior visibilidade ao assunto; de fortalecer articulações institucionais entre entes governamentais e não-governamentais; e de avançarmos na aprovação de uma legislação específica que mude essa realidade.

Authors: Collet Charlotte
Published: July 2022

The painting of Paul-Emile Chabas is representative of that of the end of the 19th century which relies on the fantasies of the public by showing female nudity. Nevertheless, the artist stands out for having made these figures a subject in their own right, having his young models pose most often at the edge of the water. For this article, it is a question of analyzing and categorizing the different representations of the female nude by Paul-Emile Chabas with regard to artistic production between the two centuries. This study has also aims to account for the preponderance of the subject of bathers within the artist’s production, a multiplicity that earned him recognition.

Hypothesis of the Disappearance of the Limits of Improvidence and Parsimony in the Function of Consumption in an Islamic Economy
Authors: الأفندي محمد أحمد حسن
Published: July 2022

There is a rich literature about the analysis of consumption behavior from the perspective of Islamic economy. The focus of such literature has been on the incorporation of the effect of moral values on individuals’ consumption behavior. However, studies on consumption did not pay enough heed to the analysis of the ultimate effect of faith values on the track of consumption behavior over time. This desired track of consumption involves showing certain hypotheses and probabilities. This study suggests a normative statement which includes the gradual disappearance of parsimony and improvidence over time. This disappearance would correct the deviation of actual consumption of society members from the desired moderate consumption level, so as to make households’ consumption behavior at the desired level which is consistent with Islamic Sharia. The study emphasizes the need to develop analysis and research in two integrated directions: i) conducting more empirical studies to examine the consistency of the normative statement with evidence from real situations, and ii) conducting more analysis to develop a specific measure for the desired consumption levels as well as the limits of parsimony and improvidence.

Keywords: Disappearance of improvidence and parsimony limits, Desired moderate consumption level, Actual consumption, Improvidence and parsimony consumption levels, Track of households’ consumption behavior.

Authors: الطير أحمد محمد
Published: July 2022

This research aimed to identify the causes and effects of low reading tendency among undergraduate students. The researcher followed the analytical descriptive method, and developed a questionnaire which was administered to a sample of (66) students (male and female) from the University of Science and Technology. The study results revealed certain reasons behind low reading tendency. First, most of the books that participants read are general knowledge, religious and specialized books, respectively. Second, the majority of the participants do not buy daily newspapers. Third, parents and university professors sometimes play a role in affecting the students’ tendency to read. The study also revealed some negative effects of such low tendency. The major one is that students become less expressive, and afraid of talking to others and interacting with educated people. The study recommended reducing curriculum burdens on students, providing interesting reading materials to them and buying interesting books, newspapers and learning materials that would develop students’ knowledge and experience.

Authors: المعمري عبدالوهاب عبدالله أحمد
Published: July 2022

The public-private partnership has gained great interest as the economic and social development process depends on mobilizing and gathering all the potentials of the society to participate in establishing and operating various projects. This may help the independent institutional organizations to overcome the challenges and difficulties and achieve their goals at the target levels. Therefore, both developed and developing countries seek to create institutional structures, legislations and systems to adopt participatory organizations in which all sectors of society contribute to serving their objectives on the basis of cooperative participation, good governance, transparent accountability and mutual benefit. This entails the need to keep pace with the necessary legislations. Thus, the study aims to analyze the legislative requirements in light of development needs and practical and administrative problems applying the concepts of transparency, disclosure and cooperation. The scientific method which is based on the analysis and the comparison approach was adopted to achieve the required results and provide the relevant and appropriate recommendations in this field. The main findings of the study revealed the urgent need to activate the partnership between the public and private sectors in the Republic of Yemen. This requires reviewing the relevant legislations and enacting complementary laws to achieve the objectives of partnership between public and private sectors.

An Analysis of a New Musnad Inscription Related to Wars of Sabaʾ and dhū-Raydān Kings Found in Rayda City
Authors: Al-Gaili Mohammed Ali Hizam
Published: July 2022

This research paper aimed to study the linguistic and historical connotations contained in the inscription (Al-Qayli-Rayda 1), which is an unpublished musnad inscription, representing a memorial text of the inscriptions of wars and military campaigns originating from the city of Rayda which is currently in the village of Bayt al-Qufāf, Ḫarif district, ʿAmrān, Yemen. To achieve this objective, the descriptive comparative analytical method was used. The analysis revealed that the events stated in the inscription date back to the era of the kings of Sabaʾ and  dhū-Raydān (circa 3rd century AD). The inscriptions bnw S¹ʾrn w-Mḥylm indicate that there were a number of battles which can generally be divided into two campaigns. The first was launched by Rubʿ Rayda of Bakīl on the Bedouins, who had conquered ʿrn Baraṭ and some of the surrounding areas and valleys, and whose danger began to reach the eastern boundaries of Ḥas²id and Bakīl tribes. In the second campaign, the Rubʿ Rayda and other ʾArbāʿ of Bakīl under the command of a Kabīr Aqyānum and Ibn Marthadum, along with the king of Sabaʾ and  dhū-Raydān (their names can be found in the left broken part of the inscription) launched the campaign, and headed to the​​ S¹uhrat area to fight the ʾAshā‘ir tribe and its leader Nabat. The inscription is a new addition to Yemen's political history before Islam. It includes the areas on which the campaigns were launched and the methods and techniques used during the battles.

A Comparative Study of Controversial Types of Hirabah (Banditry) in Islamic Jurisprudence and Yemeni Laws
Authors: Gandab Ahmed Ali
Published: July 2022

This paper investigated the controversial types of Hirabah for three reasons: to the best of the researcher's knowledge, it is a new topic that has not been investigated independently; the focus has been on the agreed types only. Secondly, this topic focuses on a vital issue in society; and finally it paves the way for future studies of Mohareb offences. The paper aimed to identify controversial types of Hirabah, its rules, and to examine the possibility of applying Hirabah elements (to them) as well as the perspective of Yemeni laws about Hirabah. For defining the types of Hirabah, the analytical descriptive method was followed, and for comparing and tracking various opinions and views, the comparative inductive method was used. The study concluded that Hirabah controversial types should be penalized as the rules of Hirabah apply to them. This fulfills the purposes of jurisprudence in protecting the society security and public interests, and preventing such crimes. It was recommended that Yemeni penal code be reviewed to conform with Islamic jurisprudence and general penal code; and collective Ejtehad and making use of the potential of Islamic criminal law regarding formation of appropriate legal opinions for the current crimes should be taken into consideration. It was also suggested that this topic should be open for further research studies.

Keywords: Hirabah, brigandry, banditry, piracy, assassination.
Translating the Ten Arabic Verb Patterns into English: A Morpho-Semantic Study
Authors: Alward Dr. Ali S. , Al-Qeili Muna Y. , Ashuja’a Dr. Abdulhameed A.
Published: July 2022

This study aimed to investigate the difficulties encountered by translation students when translating the ten Arabic verb patterns into English. To achieve this objective, the descriptive quantitative and qualitative method was followed. A translation test consisting of 16 sentences which included the ten Arabic verb patterns was administered to a sample of 112 participants who were randomly selected from five Yemeni universities. The findings revealed that the additions associated with the Arabic verb root can create multiple semantic changes which are fraught with difficulties for student translators. The difficulties may lie in the fact that student translators lack basic knowledge and understanding of the multiple functions of the morpho-semantic features which might be due to the translators' unfamiliarity of the multiple and underlying meanings of the morphemes affixed to the root form. The findings revealed that the more features the pattern takes, the more difficult it is for student translators. Furthermore, the pattern with infixed morphemes was more difficult to be recognized than the one with prefixed morphemes. The findings also provide further insights on the importance of integrating the Arabic verb patterns into the translation modules with a focus on the link between form and functions of each morpho-semantic feature affixed to each pattern.

Keywords: affixes, morpho-semantic features, root, translation, verb patterns.
