The Summer Institute for Scholars 2017, held at the IIIT headquarters inHerndon, VA, from July 26-29, brought together a group of scholars to address“Theologies and Ethics of Justice: New Directions for Islamic Thoughtin the 21st Century.” To present as many of their ideas as possible, the widerangingand thought-provoking comments of the chairs and discussants arenot recountedThe event began with welcoming remarks by Ermin Sinanović (programdirector and director of research, IIIT), Abubaker al-Shingieti (executive director,IIIT) and Hisham Altalib (president, IIIT). The participating scholars,students, and special guests were introduced and viewed a film on IIIT.The special panel on “Justice in Islamic Thought” was addressed byRamon Harvey (Ebrahim College, London) and Jonathan A.C. Brown(Georgetown University; via Skype). Ramon Harvey’s paper, “The Qur’anand the Just Society: An Enquiry into Scriptural Theology, Ethics, andHermeneutics,” introduced the theoretical framework of his forthcomingbook, The Qur’an and the Just Society. He presented the basic underlyingenquiry: the search for the meaning of societal justice within the Qur’anicworldview. His argument proceeded in three steps: (1) justice in the Qur’anmust be situated within the broader “moral narrative” about the spiritualjourney of souls and societies and from which an implicit moral theologycan be detected; (2) that it is possible to build on such Qur’anic indicationsto articulate a theological and ethical system that models it; and (3) that sucha system gives a meaningful epistemological foundation for a hermeneuticsto discover the Qur’an’s basic principles of justice when contextualizedwithin the initial Muslim community led by Prophet Muhammad ...
Editorial

Published: October 2020

This issue of the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences features twoimportant articles: Sarah Marusek’s ethnographic study of a grassroots Islamicmovement in Lebanon reconfiguring (even resisting) secularism andneoliberalism, and Madiha Tahseen and Charissa S.L. Cheah’s empiricalstudy of the formation of American Muslim adolescents. Also featured isan extended interview with the renowned anthropologist, Talal Asad.Marusek’s study of the interaction of an Islamic movement withinsecular, liberal, and neoliberal structures and practices is innovative andthought-provoking. It shows how certain Shi‘ite clerics and leaders are ableto adapt but also simultaneously resist neoliberalism while providing servicesto the poor, in particular the downtrodden Shi‘a population of Lebanon.The intellectual posture of these movements, she highlights, seeksto separate the rationalistic procedures and procedures of modernity fromwhat they insist are still religious values. But straddling “forces of materialismand spirituality,” Marusek argues, “need not inevitably yield a gospelof wealth. Indeed, these forces may even coalesce into a decolonial project.”The Lebanese “Shi‘i movements,” she concludes, “are each critically engagingwith secular liberalism and neoliberal capitalism on their own terms, inprofoundly interesting, complex, and contradictory ways.” This is an illuminatingstudy which alludes to the contradictions and limits of embeddingreligious values and rationality in neoliberal and secular structures andpractices, which themselves are inevitably instilling their own values andrationality as they must in order to be fully efficient on their own terms. Thestruggle, the author suggests, is ongoing and worthwhile ...
Reviving the Balance
Authors: Vaid Mobeen
Published: October 2020

Ibn Wahb (d. 197/813), a disciple of Malik (179/795), is reported to havesaid, “We were once with Malik and made mention of the Sunnah. [Uponhearing this] Malik proclaimed, The Sunnah is Noah’s Ark—whoeverboards it will be saved, and whoever refuses will drown.’” Sentiment likeMalik’s is not difficult to locate. Many of the early jurists rooted the legitimacyof their legal hermeneutic in a steadfast commitment to the traditionsof the Prophet. Thus, the oft-quoted remark of al-Shafi‘i, “If a hadith is authentic,then it is my madhhab.” This rhetorical commitment, however, wasa negotiated one. Prophetic traditions proliferated in the early period, anddistinguishing sound narrations from weak ones was not a simple task. Furthercomplicating matters, jurists were responsible for determining divineintent not only in light of evolving cultural, social, and political realities, butfor matters that were not immediately resolved by recourse to the Qur’anand prophetic tradition. Moreover, how to interpret prophetic instructionrequired knowledge of the mitigating circumstances present at the time ofutterance. Were the Prophet’s words conditional or general? Were his wordsabrogated by later command? Under what circumstances were they said?Did the underlying circumstances even matter? These questions and moreoccupied the early juristic community as they canonized a defensible legalheuristic that situated the Prophet’s words and actions within a normativeframework ...
Shari‘ah on Trial

At the turn of the nineteenth century, a movement of religious reform andstate building took place in present-day northern Nigeria, culminating withthe establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate. This movement was as central toWest African history as was the 1789 French revolution to European history.Its leader, the Muslim scholar Uthman Dan Fodio (d. 1817), deservesrecognition as a towering figure of nineteenth-century African Islam. DanFodio’s community (jamā‘a), which included many scholars, toppled thepreexisting Hausa kingdoms, replacing them with emirates ruled by Fulanileaders who all paid allegiance to the Caliph based in Sokoto.

In her review of The Study Quran in AJISS (34:4), Karen Bauer makes anumber of broad claims about the authors’ ideology and methodology, particularlyin producing the commentary that accompanies the translation.Her claims regarding the commentary, however, seem to be based on alimited reading of the text, which has led her to make a number of otherwiseinexplicable factual errors. For example, in assessing the SQ authors’selection, use, and representation of Islamic tafsīr sources in the commentary,she overlooks the note in the front matter entitled, “Understanding theCitations in the Commentary”—which makes it clear that, in the interest ofsaving space, the citation of various commentaries as sources for the opinionsmentioned in the Study Quran commentary is done through a systemof abbreviations, for which a key is provided on pages lvii-lix ...

Everyday Sectarianism in Urban Lebanon
Authors: Rizvi Muneeza
Published: October 2020

In Everyday Sectarianism, anthropologist and filmmaker Joanne Nuchoexamines the inextricable links between sectarian belonging, Lebanon’sconfessional system of governance, and neighborhood infrastructures developedin the absence of the state (a refrain throughout the book is waynal dawleh?). Departing from orientalist accounts that represent sectarianismas a static and primordial conflict of identities, Nucho argues thatsectarianism in Lebanon is a modern, relational, and political process ofcontinual (re)construction. In this sense, her account draws from existingliterature on the Lebanese state that emphasizes sectarianism’s contingentcharacter (see, for example, Ussama Makdisi 2000; Max Weiss 2010; SuadJoseph 2008). For these scholars, sectarianism is not a given mode of being in the world. Rather, it is a project inseparable from questions of gender,class, geography, and the state, and cannot be “collapsed onto religion ortheology” (4).

Fawaz Gerges identifies four factors which were crucial to the Islamic State’s(IS) expansion across Iraq and Syria in his well-researched and insightfulaccount of the history of the group and its individual members. He writesthat IS itself can and should be considered the direct progeny of al-Qaedain Iraq (AQI), which is clear for those who trace the organization’s lineage,and argues that the fragmentation of Iraq after the 2003 invasion allowedthe group to flourish (first as AQI and then as IS). The other two factorshe identifies are concerned with other countries: Gerges contends that thegroup would not have been able to carry out its headline-grabbing militaryconquests without the safe refuge afforded by the collapse of Syria, and thatthe military gains it made in part due to said collapse could not have beentenable were it not for the derailment of the Arab Spring revolutions duringthe first few years of the decade ...

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Geophysical characterization refers to the collection of information associated with subsurface features. Geotechnical involves engineering structural performance studies which are used to obtain information on the physical properties of soil and rock around a site to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repair of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions. Aim: The study was aimed at characterizing the subsurface formations for the purpose of determining its capacity to withstand engineering structures. Materials and Methods: Geophysical techniques involving eight (8) vertical electrical sounding (VES) and Wenner array were carried out with two (2) traverses. Geotechnical investigation involving cone penetration test (CPT) was also carried out. Results: The results obtained were presented as 1D resistivity profiles and Pseudo-sections of 2-D. Three (3) geo-electric layers were delineated within the study area and these comprise of topsoil, peat or clay and silty sand. The CPT results were used in the calculation of bearing capacity using Bustamante and Gianeselli equation for pile foundations and Meyehorf equation to determine the maximum load the materials can withstand respectively. Conclusion: The shallow subsurface geology was adjudged to be mechanically unstable with low penetration resistance values up to the depth of 11m. The methods conformed and confirmed that shallow foundation was considered unsuitable for the intended engineering structure. Keywords: Meyehorf, Bustamante and Gianeselli, Subsurface, Geology, Unstable, Foundation.

Knowledge of food composition is crucial in the assessment of nutritional quality and potential contribution to recommended nutrient intakes. Fish plays a major role in ensuring food and nutritional security among the poor, vulnerable and rural fishing communities. However, there is paucity of information on the nutritional value of fish species exploited by the artisanal fisheries in Nigeria. The present study was carried out to evaluate (i) the nutritional value in two locally smoked clupeids (Sardinella maderensis and Pellonula leonensis); (ii) each species in relation to recommended nutrient intakes in pre-school children(< 5 years) and elderly (men and women >70 years) and (iii) linkages between nutrient access and intake. Fresh samples were collected from Badagry Creek, smoked using local smoking kiln and analyzed according to AOAC standard method. Data were collected in duplicates and analyzed using t-test. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in the proximate composition except for crude fibre between the two fish species. The percentage cover of daily recommended intake of phosphorous and calcium from the two species were very low (1. 81-3.7%; 0.023% - 0.0912%) but low to moderate for zinc (2 % - 22.50%) in pre-school children and the elderly. Sequel to the results obtained in this study, the two smoked fish species showed good nutritive qualities for human health despite the low to moderate contents of calcium, zinc and phosphorus contents.

On the Use of Absorbing Metasurfaces in Microwave Imaging
Authors: Liu Ziqi , Bayat Nozhan , Mojabi Puyan
Published: October 2020

Microwave imaging (MWI) systems are usually enclosed within casings, e.g., in order to contain the utilized coupling liquid or to help mount the antenna system. On the other hand, inverse scattering algorithms, which are used to process the measured microwave scattering data, often assume that the background medium of the imaging system extends to infinity (i.e., unbounded background medium assumption). Thus, they do not consider the reflections occurring at the system enclosure. For such algorithms to yield successful images, these reflections need to be minimized, e.g., via the use of a lossy coupling liquid. As an alternative to a lossy background medium which also reduces the desired signal level, this paper investigates the use of metallic-backed absorbing metasurfaces as the MWI system enclosure in order to (i) reduce these reflections, and also (ii) to shield the MWI system from external interference. Using simulated data, we then show that standard inverse scattering algorithms, employing the free-space assumption, can successfully process the data collected under the metasurface enclosure and yield acceptable permittivity images. The advantages and disadvantages of absorbing metasurface enclosure, along with the limitations of this study, will also be discussed. Finally, an absorbing metasurface is fabricated and its reflectivity is experimentally evaluated.

Published: October 2020

A crise sanitária causada pela COVID-19 exigiu medidas de distanciamento social, ampliando o uso da tecnologia digital nos diversos setores. Na educação, esta se tornou uma ferramenta essencial no ensino. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo identificar as práticas e os recursos pedagógicos aplicados na ação docente de forma remota, referentes ao ensino de matemática nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental (AIEF). Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, cujo método adotado foi o estudo de caso, a partir da análise de um questionário online respondido por 14 professores que ensinam matemática. O trabalho teve como fundamentação teórica os estudos dos autores Imbernón (2016), Lorenzato (2008), Moran (2018) e Selbach (2010). Os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram que os professores buscaram dar continuidade ao processo educativo, fazendo uso de recursos tecnológicos, recorrendo à apropriação de conhecimentos inerentes ao ensino a distância, assim como buscando cursos, lives, conferências e outros conteúdos disponíveis no meio digital. Ficou evidente o reduzido número de interações virtuais com os alunos e famílias, bem como o pouco acompanhamento familiar na realização das atividades desses discentes. Finalmente, é possível destacar que não houve formação específica para o professor utilizar, com qualidade, os recursos no formato online.

Pocos han sido los autores que, en los últimos años, publicaron inventarios acerca de los estudios andinos con referencias explícitas a los temas religiosos, míticos y rituales. La mayoría de las veces los mencionados temas aparecen entre asuntos socioeconómicos o políticos. Es difícil explicar las razones que impiden a los más destacados andinistas evaluar periódicamente los trabajos que sirven de pretexto para estas páginas. Sin duda, los especialistas más conocidos entre los andinistas no se interesan por estas materias. O quizás juzguen poco importantes los estudios de todos aquellos que escriben sobre religión, mito y ritual.
El discurso mítico de Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui
Authors: Vallée Lionel
Published: October 2020

Although there are many studies on Andean religion and rites, few researchers have deemed it appropriate to analyze Andean ideology as a whole. Undoubtedly, this is a difficult task, but part or later it will have to be done. The present work is an attempt in that direction. To achieve this, we have chosen to analyze Andean ideology through the chronicle of Santa Cruz Pachacuti Yamqui (1613). We could have chosen other chroniclers, especially other autochthonous chroniclers, such as Guamán Poma, Garcilaso, etc... but like others (Millions: s/f), it seemed to us that the narration of Santa Cruz Pachacuti contains very rich information about Andean ideology and that this information has been very little studied. However, some authors, such as Lehman-Nitsche (1928), Means (1931), Earls and Silverblatt (1976), Duviols (1966), Millones (s.f.), Urbano (1979), Urton (1978), and Zuidema (1973a , 1973b) have devoted themselves particularly to this difficult task of reading the chronicler.

Authors: Tomaszewicz Dariusz , Baryłka Adam
Published: October 2020

The subject of the article is the impact of measurement deviations of three-layer walls on the durability of these walls in buildings erected according to the OWT-67 / N system. This problem mainly concerns the external facade texture layer, which, apart from its own weight load, is exposed to the destructive influence of external factors, which include wind suction load and temperature load. The measurement deviation regarding the texture layer is the varied thickness of the board. Other diverse components that affect the fusion of the texture layer with the insulation layer and the construction layer are: diameter of rods hangers, coating thickness of rods hangers and diameter of rods anchoring hangers. Based on these measurements, a polynomial model was created based on an experimental plan that evaluated the durability of the layered wall.

In search of a balance between ensuring access to court decisions and the inadmissibility of disclosure of pre-trial investigation information
Authors: Ischenko Oleksandr
Published: October 2020

The article considers problematic issues related to ensuring access to court decisions, including full access to the Unified State Register of Court Decisions, in the context of implementation of the constitutional principle of publicity of proceedings and inadmissibility of disclosure of pre-trial investigation information, especially in court decisions. There are proposals to revise and supplement the High Council of Justice with the provisions of the Procedure for maintaining the Unified State Register of Court Decisions, as well as the legal framework for access to court decisions, in particular Articles 2 and 4 of the Law of Ukraine «On Access to Court Decisions».

Summing up, an author notes that finding a reasonable balance between ensuring access to court decisions in the context of implementing the constitutional principle of publicity of proceedings and the inadmissibility of disclosure of pre-trial investigation, especially in court decisions, is a practical requirement today. The answer to this in the short term may be a revision and amendment by the High Council of Justice of the Unified State Register of Judgments, and in the medium term - a revision of the legal framework for access to judgments, including Articles 2 and 4 of the Law of Ukraine «On Access to Judgments». Such measures, in our opinion, will only strengthen the practical implementation of the constitutional principles of transparency of the judiciary.

Key words: transparency of the judiciary, transparency of court proceedings, access to court decisions, inadmissibility of disclosure of information of pre-trial investigation.

In the article are accented attention on that the modern state of economy of Ukraine is in the crisis state.. In these conditions, there is an urgent need to save budget funds spent on ensuring the activities of public authorities and local governments, and the implementation of their powers. This problem is partially solved by the legislation on public procurement, which should serve as a means of economic growth in Ukraine.

In the foreign member states of the World Trade Organization Agreement, the participant of which Ukraine is, public procurement is used primarily to develop innovation and improve the quality of life; the most popular means of innovation in the European Union, which is not yet on the market, are pre-commercial procurement, which is carried out in order to research and develop new innovative solutions.

Unfortunately, in Ukraine such projects does not develop and public purchases are used exceptionally with the aim of budgetary cost effectiveness, during realization of purchases for satisfaction of current necessities of public and organs of local self-government authorities, that not in a complete measure answers their setting.

An analysis of the current legislation of Ukraine on public procurement provides grounds for the conclusion that it applies to all utilities without exception, including those created for commercial activities and profit in the interests of the local community.

However, proving the fact, that the economic activity of enterprise has exclusively commercial in nature and is not carried out at the expense of the budget, releases the municipal commercial enterprise from the obligation to comply with the public procurement procedure established by the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement” services.

The need for public procurement has a negative impact on the economic performance of utility companies, as in many cases it forces them to purchase cheap goods and services that do not meet the company’s requirements for functionality or quality.

Suchsituation reduces the interest in development of communal commercial enterprises and encourages owners to liquidate them, which creates the preconditions for the emergence of corrupt schemes to withdraw funds from local budgets.

With the aim of conditioning for effective realization by the business communal enterprises of economic activity in interests of local communities, the leadingout of these enterprises offers the author of the article from under the action of legislation of Ukraine about public purchases.

Key words: purchases for budgetary funds, public procurements, communal commercial enterprises.

Parsaoran Sibisa Village, Ajibata is the village with the highest population density with a fairly high population movement in Ajibata Subdistrict, Toba Samosir Regency. At present the administrative system and population data activities are used by the filing method. Filing method is done by recording population data in population archive books, this method is less effective and efficient when there is a complex process of finding population data and population data reports. From these data it can be concluded that the problem in Parsaoran Ajibata Village is the lack of orderly administration of population so that population services are less effective and efficient. Therefore, the writer tries to offer a solution to build Population Administration Information System as Supporting Population Administration Order in Parsaoran Sibisa Village, Ajibata District, Toba Samosir Regency. Through assistance and training to the Village Government it will increase the knowledge and understanding of the importance of using Information Systems in terms of efficiency and effectiveness so that the Population Database in the Pisaoran Sibisa Village, Ajibata District is complete, accurate, and up to date.

This research was conducted aiming to design a New Student Selection Decision Support System. To help the selection process for new student admissions at the Indonesian Business Polytechnic, a decision support system (SPK) was designed to help the data processing of prospective new students who register using the Weighteded Product (WP) method. This Weighteded Product method is done by using multiplication to link the attribute rating, where the rating of each attribute must be raised first with the Weighted of the attribute in question. The criteria used in this Decision Support System consist of: capacity, achievement, academic tests, age, and passing scores. From the sample of data examined, the ranking results were found to be the best value of prospective students with a value of 0.0841 and 0.0791.

The aim of this work is to determine the dielectric constant value of a bio-nanostructured system via Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) and to show how this method is useful to study natural photonic crystals. We mapped the dielectric constant of the cross-section of the posterior wing of the damselfly Chalcopteryx rutilans with nanometric resolution and obtained not only structural information on its constitutive nanolayers but also on the absolute values of the dielectric constant variation in a nanometric scale. By relating the measured profile of the static dielectric constant to the profile of the refractive index in the visible range, combined with optical reflectance measurements and simulation, we were able to describe the origin of the strongly iridescent wing colors of this Amazonian rainforest damselfly. The method we demonstrate here should be useful for the study of other nanostructured biological systems.

The article analyzes the fatty acid composition of the frozen iwashi lipids

of different shelf lives. It is established that the total amount of essential

fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 in iwashi’s fat reaches almost 90% of all

polyunsaturated fatty acids and remains practically unchanged for 12 months

of fish cold storage. It is shown that products from iwashi contain a significant

amount of essential fatty acids, indispensable for the human body, which can

be used to optimize the population nutrition and satisfy the physiological

needs in eicosopentaenoic and docosahexaenoic fatty acids.

This research analyzes the economic indicators of the fishery complex of the Kaliningrad region in recent years. The introduction of modern biotechnological solutions in the fish processing sector is substantiated. At present, the industry focuses on oceanic and coastal fishing, large fish complexes are leading in fish processing. Food product groups are mainly represented by chilled and frozen semi-finished products. Among food fish products, the production of sterilized canned food predominates; in smaller quantities, preserves, salted, smoked, dried and dried fish products are produced. The fish factories practically do not process fish by-products and there is no production of fish meal. To improve the economic performance of the industry, it is promising to use innovative biotechnologies and advanced foreign experience, which allow processing the extracted raw materials with maximum added value. The Strategy for the Development of the Fisheries Industry of the Russian Federation until 2030, adopted in November 2019, outlines the prospects for the development of marine biotechnology in key segments - aquaculture, production of functional and biologically active products, processing of by-products. The article presents the volumes and problems of fish by-products processing accumulating at fish processing enterprises of the region. A complex scheme of biotechnological by-products processing with the production of valuable biologically active substances (proteins, lipids, mineral substances) is proposed. The technology and production line for the production of protein, protein-mineral and lipid preparations from secondary fish raw materials are described. A modular implementation of biotechnology in marine conditions is proposed. The economic calculation from the introduction of innovative biotechnology in the processing of secondary fat-containing fish raw materials is presented.
