Purpose. There are no currently approved non-invasive methods for detecting tumor treatment responses within the first few days of treatment. The monoclonal antibody, DAB4, or its chimeric derivative, chDAB4 (APOMAB®), targets the Lupus-associated or Sjögren Syndrome-B antigen (La/SSB). La/SSB is over-expressed in malignancy and is selectively targeted by chDAB4 in cancer cells that have died after DNA-damaging treatment. Therefore, chDAB4 could be used to distinguish between chemotherapy responsive and non-responsive patients. In this study, we performed preclinical validation studies using whole-body Positron-Emission Tomography (PET) to examine tumor and normal tissue uptake of 89Zr-labeled chDAB4 in lung or ovarian tumor-bearing mice, which were left untreated or given cisplatin chemotherapy.Methods. The binding of chDAB4 and its conjugates to dead cisplatin-treated human lung and ovarian cancer cells was assessed in vitro as well as its Fc-dependent effector functions. Mice bearing xenografts of H460 lung cancer or A2780 ovarian cancer cells were untreated or given cisplatin chemotherapy followed 24 hours later by 89Zr-labeled chDAB4. Post-cisplatin tumor responses were monitored using bioluminescence imaging and caliper measurements and 89Zr-labeled chDAB4 tumor uptake was measured using an Albira SI PET imager and PMOD analysis software. On completion of experiments, organs were dissected and biodistribution of 89Zr-labeled chDAB4 was measured using a Hidex gamma-counter.Results. The chDAB4 antibody bound only to dead A2780 and H460 cells, and its binding increased with cisplatin treatment in vitro. The chDAB4 antibody did not exhibit Fc-dependent effector functions. Chemotherapy significantly increased uptake of 89Zr-labeled chDAB4 in tumors but not in normal tissues for each tumor model. The greatest differences in average uptake of 89Zr-labeled chDAB4 in subcutaneous tumors were observed 3 days post-cisplatin chemotherapy compared to untreated mice, and before tumor shrinkage was evident.Conclusion. After administration of cisplatin chemotherapy, tumor xenograft uptake of 89Zr-labeled chDAB4 was detected in vivo by PET imaging. Given that the chDAB4 mAb lacked effector activity and that malignant rather than normal tissues were targeted after chemotherapy, these results support clinical development of chDAB4 as both a predictive marker of chemotherapy response and a theranostic imaging agent, which may guide subsequent delivery of chDAB4-directed antibody drug or radio-conjugate anticancer therapies.

PEGylated Nanoliposomes Potentiated Oral Combination Therapy for Effective Cancer Treatment
Authors: Singh Archu , Neupane Yub Raj , Mangla Bharti , Shafi Sadat , Kohli Kanchan
Published: July 2020

The conventional treatment regimen for cancer with a single chemotherapeutic agent is far
behind the clinical expectations due to the complexity of cancer biology and is also associated with
poor Quality of Life (QOL) due to off-site toxicity and multidrug resistance. In recent years, nanopotentiated
combination therapy has shown significant improvement in cancer treatment via a synergistic
approach. However, being synthetic in nature, nanocarriers have been associated with the activation of
the Complement (C) activation system resulting in serious hypersensitivity reactions known as CActivation
Related Pseudoallergy (CARPA) effect once given via intravenous injection. On the other
hand, nanopotentiated oral drug delivery offers several advantages for the effective and safe delivery of
the drug to the target site. This hypothesis aims to put forward wherein Exemestane (chemotherapeutic
agent) and lycopene (herbal bioactive) co-laden into PEGylated liposomes and delivered to the breast
cancer via the oral route. PEGylation of the liposomes would prevent both molecules from the harsh
microenvironment of the Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) and would eventually promote their intestinal
absorption via the lymphatic pathway to the systemic circulation. Lycopene being a potent antioxidant
and anti-cancer herbal bioactive would promote the therapeutic efficacy of the Exemestane via a synergistic
approach. This nanopotentiated oral combination therapy would pave the path for the safe and
effective treatment of cancer.

Authors: Wang Renqiang , Li Qinrong , Miao Shengze , Miao Keyin , Deng Hua
Published: July 2020

Purpose:

The purpose of this paper was to design an intelligent controller of ship motion
based on sliding mode control with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network optimized by the
genetic algorithm and expansion observer. First, the improved genetic algorithm based on the distributed
genetic algorithm with adaptive fitness and adaptive mutation was used to automatically optimize
the RBF neural network. Then, with the compensation designed by the RBF neural network, antisaturation
control was realized. Additionally, the intelligent control algorithm was introduced by Sliding
Mode Control (SMC) with the stability theory. A comparative study of sliding mode control integrated
with the RBF neural network and proportional-integral-derivative control combined with the
fuzzy optimization model showed that the stabilization time of the intelligent control system was
43.75% faster and the average overshoot was reduced by 52% compared with the previous two attempts.
Background: It was known that the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control and self-adaptation
control cannot really solve the problems of frequent disturbance from external wind and waves, as well
as the problems with ship nonlinearity and input saturation. So, the previous ship motion controller
should be transformed by advanced intelligent technology, on the basis of referring to the latest relevant
patent design methods.

Objective:

An intelligent controller of ship motion was designed based on optimized Radial Basis Function
Neural Network (RBFNN) in the presence of non-linearity, uncertainty, and limited input.

Methods:

The previous ship motion controller was remodeled based on Sliding Mode Control (SMC)
with RBFNN optimized by improved genetic algorithm and expansion observer. The intelligent control
algorithm integrated with genetic neural network solved the problem of system model uncertainty, limited
control input, and external interference. Distributed genetic with adaptive fitness and adaptive mutation
method guaranteed the adequacy of search and the global optimal convergence results, which
enhanced the approximation ability of RBFNN. With the compensation designed by the optimized
RBFNN, it was realized anti-saturation control. The chattering caused by external disturbance in SMC
controller was reduced by the expansion observer.

Results:

A comparative study with RBFNN-SMC control and fuzzy-PID control, the stabilization time
of the intelligent control system was 43.75% faster, the average overshoot was reduced by 52%, compared
to the previous two attempts.

Conclusion:

The intelligent control algorithm succeed in dealing with the problems of nonlinearity,
uncertainty, input saturation, and external interference. The intelligent control algorithm can be applied
into research and development ship steering system, which would be created a new patent.

Published: July 2020

Learning styles, language learning strategies, and ethnicity are three important factors in language learning. The information about these three things is very useful for language teachers to prepare and implement effective language learning. This study was conducted to describe the students ' learning style and language learning strategy and to know the similarities/differences from the two elements of Java, Papua, Flores, Dayak, and Batak ethnics. A number of 175 participants were involved in the study. Research data were obtained through the Fleming's learning VARK questionnaire and a language learning strategy questionnaire from Oxford. The results of the two questionnaires were analyzed to determine the type of learning style and language learning strategy. The first finding suggests that the main learning styles of students from the five ethnics are variants [aural] and [kinesthetic] including variations in bimodal, and trimodal. The second finding shows that the major language learning strategy is metacognitive and affective. The third finding reveals some similarities and unique differences in their learning style and learning strategy.

Published: July 2020

Information technology-based instruction (e.g. using Edmodo) gains its popularity as it is likely to strengthen the role of teachers, schools, and parents for the sake of optimizing student learning outcomes. Therefore, this study explores how Edmodo was utilized to mediate digital class in English language teaching (ELT); how Edmodo facilitated students' engagement during the class; and how Edmodo mediated teachers to assess students' learning outcomes. A qualitative approach was employed and 286 students from a secondary school voluntarily participated during the study. Interviews, online mini-polling, and document analysis were deployed as data collection methods, and data were validated by triangulation and analyzed by following the interactive model of data analysis. It revealed that Edmodo was an effective mode to mediate digital class in ELT as the students could interact with their teacher, peers, and course contents effectively, both inside and outside the classroom. The students' engagement was also better in comparison to that of the face-to-face classroom. Finally, Edmodo well-mediated teachers to carry out the computer-based test (CBT); it was an accurate mode of assessment as no cheatings were facilitated; the validity, and reliability of the test could be favorably accomplished.

Published: July 2020

In the current era, the world of education faces challenges of how to design learning by using digital media with the intention to improve the instructional quality and students’ competencies. Digital media are important in the world of education since they are able to present materials contextually, visually, interestingly, and interactively. The present study was aimed at identifying teacher-candidate students’ perceptions on the use of digital literacy as a learning resource. The study was a survey involving students of the universities that had a partnership with USAID Priority as the research population. A sample of 168 students was selected from seven such universities. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The weighting of the questionnaire scores used the Likert’s scale. The variable Digital Literacy consisted of four indicators of ICT basic competencies, informational skills, media awareness, and computational thinking. Findings show that the teacher-candidate students have good perceptions in the use of digital literacy as a learning resource. On the ICT basic skill indicator, the average score is at the high category; on the informational skill indicator, the average score is at the very high category; on the media awareness, the average score is at the high category; and on the computational thinking indicator, the average score is at the medium category.

Published: July 2020

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the extent of the difference in health status between South Korea (SK) and North Korea (NK) by comparing indicators relevant to maternal and child health.Methods: The maternal and child health status of SK and NK considering population, birth, and mortality was reviewed using 2 Korean statistics, United Nations Children’s Fund, and United Nations databases from 1950 to 2017.Results: The annual number of total live births in SK had decreased from 1,006,600 in 1970 to 326,900 in 2018, and that in NK had declined from 530,000 in 1970 to 360,000 in 2015. The percentage of children among the total population was higher in NK than in SK, and the decrease in the percentage of children in SK is remarkable, which is related to a low fertility rate in the last few decades. However, the mortality rates related to children were higher in NK than in SK. In 2017, neonatal mortality rates (per 1,000 live births) in SK and NK were 1.5 and 9.0, respectively. The fertile female population of SK and NK in 2015 was 50.2% and 52.0%, respectively, and SK and NK’s aging index (%) in 2017 was 107.3 and 46.1, respectively.Conclusion: This study shows the different population distributions and maternal and child health statuses between SK and NK, which may have a negative impact on social integration after reunification. Therefore, it is important to understand the indicators of maternal and child health to become the powerbase of efficient healthcare system integration by minimizing the impact at the beginning of the reunification.

Published: July 2020

Fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) reaped the importance and amazement of most researchers and followers in data encryption issues, as programs are allowed to perform arithmetic operations on encrypted data without decrypting it and obtain results similar to the effects of arithmetic operations on unencrypted data. The first (FHE) model was introduced by Craig Gentry in 2009, and it was just theoretical research, but later significant progress was made on it, this research offers FHE system based on directly of factoring big prime numbers which consider open problem now, The proposed scheme offers a fully homomorphic system for data encryption and stores it in encrypted form on the cloud based on a new algorithm that has been tried on a local cloud and compared with two previous encryption systems (RSA and Paillier) and shows us that this algorithm reduces the time of encryption and decryption by 5 times compared to other systems.
An Intelligent Mobile-Enabled System for Diagnosing Parkinson Disease: Development and Validation of a Speech Impairment Detection System
Authors: Zhang Liang , Qu Yue , Jin Bo , Jing Lu , Gao Zhan , Liang Zhanhua
Published: July 2020

Background

Parkinson disease (PD) is one of the most common neurological diseases. At present, because the exact cause is still unclear, accurate diagnosis and progression monitoring remain challenging. In recent years, exploring the relationship between PD and speech impairment has attracted widespread attention in the academic world. Most of the studies successfully validated the effectiveness of some vocal features. Moreover, the noninvasive nature of speech signal–based testing has pioneered a new way for telediagnosis and telemonitoring. In particular, there is an increasing demand for artificial intelligence–powered tools in the digital health era.

Objective

This study aimed to build a real-time speech signal analysis tool for PD diagnosis and severity assessment. Further, the underlying system should be flexible enough to integrate any machine learning or deep learning algorithm.

Methods

At its core, the system we built consists of two parts: (1) speech signal processing: both traditional and novel speech signal processing technologies have been employed for feature engineering, which can automatically extract a few linear and nonlinear dysphonia features, and (2) application of machine learning algorithms: some classical regression and classification algorithms from the machine learning field have been tested; we then chose the most efficient algorithms and relevant features.

Results

Experimental results showed that our system had an outstanding ability to both diagnose and assess severity of PD. By using both linear and nonlinear dysphonia features, the accuracy reached 88.74% and recall reached 97.03% in the diagnosis task. Meanwhile, mean absolute error was 3.7699 in the assessment task. The system has already been deployed within a mobile app called No Pa.

Conclusions

This study performed diagnosis and severity assessment of PD from the perspective of speech order detection. The efficiency and effectiveness of the algorithms indirectly validated the practicality of the system. In particular, the system reflects the necessity of a publicly accessible PD diagnosis and assessment system that can perform telediagnosis and telemonitoring of PD. This system can also optimize doctors’ decision-making processes regarding treatments.

Authors: Singla Daisy Radha , Lemberg-Pelly Sasha , Lawson Andrea , Zahedi Nika , Thomas-Jacques Tyla , Dennis Cindy-Lee
Published: July 2020

Background

Task sharing has been used worldwide to improve access to mental health care, where nonspecialist providers—individuals with no formal training in mental health—have been trained to effectively treat perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms. Little formative research has been conducted to examine relevant barriers and facilitators of nonspecialist providers and the use of telemedicine in treatment service delivery.

Objective

The primary objective of this study was to examine the main barriers and facilitators of nonspecialist provider–delivered psychological treatments for perinatal populations with common mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, from a multistakeholder perspective.

Methods

This study took place in Toronto, Canada. In total, 33 in-depth interviews were conducted with multiple stakeholder groups (women with lived experience and their significant others, as well as health and mental health professionals). Qualitative data were quantified to estimate commonly endorsed themes within and across stakeholder groups.

Results

Psychological treatments delivered by nonspecialist providers were considered acceptable by the vast majority of participants (30/33, 90%). Across all stakeholder groups, nurses (20/33, 61%) and midwives (14/33, 42%) were the most commonly endorsed cadre of nonspecialist providers. The majority of stakeholders (32/33, 97%) were amenable to nonspecialist providers delivering psychological treatment via telemedicine (27/33, 82%), although concerns were raised about the ability to establish a therapeutic alliance via telemedicine (16/33, 48%). Empathy was the most desired characteristic of a nonspecialist provider (61%). Patient and patient advocate stakeholders were more likely to emphasize stigma as an important barrier to accessing psychological treatments (7/12, 58%), compared to clinicians (2/9, 22%) and spouses (1/5, 20%). Clinician stakeholders were more likely to emphasize the importance of ensuring nonspecialist providers were trained to deliver psychological treatments (3/9, 33%), compared to other stakeholder groups.

Conclusions

These results can inform the design, implementation, and integration of nonspecialist-delivered interventions via telemedicine for women with perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms in high-income country contexts.

Published: July 2020

Background

People undergoing mass home- and community-based quarantine are vulnerable to mental health disorders during outbreaks of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but few studies have evaluated the associated psychosocial factors.

Objective

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms and identify associated demographic and psychosocial factors in the general Chinese population during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine period.

Methods

Participants aged 18 years or above were recruited in a cross-sectional online survey using snowball sampling from February 26-29, 2020. The survey included questions on demographics, family relationships, chronic diseases, quarantine conditions, lifestyle, COVID-19 infection, and anxiety and depressive symptoms. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with elevated anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Results

Out of 2331 participants, 762 (32.7%) experienced elevated anxiety or depressive symptoms. Nine risk factors associated with anxiety or depressive symptoms included younger age, reduced income, having cancer or other chronic diseases, having family members living with cancer, concerns related to COVID-19 infection for themselves or family members, living alone, having family conflicts, having <3 or >8 hours of sedentary time per day, and worsened sleep quality.

Conclusions

The findings highlight an urgent need for psychological support for populations at high risk for elevated anxiety or depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ethnicity Differences in Sleep Changes Among Prehypertensive Adults Using a Smartphone Meditation App: Dose-Response Trial
Authors: Sieverdes John C , Treiber Frank A , Kline Christopher E , Mueller Martina , Brunner-Jackson Brenda , Sox Luke , Cain Mercedes , Swem Maria , Diaz Vanessa , Chandler Jessica
Published: July 2020

Background

African Americans (AAs) experience greater sleep quality problems than non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs). Meditation may aid in addressing this disparity, although the dosage levels needed to achieve such benefits have not been adequately studied. Smartphone apps present a novel modality for delivering, monitoring, and measuring adherence to meditation protocols.

Objective

This 6-month dose-response feasibility trial investigated the effects of a breathing awareness meditation (BAM) app, Tension Tamer, on the secondary outcomes of self-reported and actigraphy measures of sleep quality and the modulating effects of ethnicity of AAs and NHWs.

Methods

A total of 64 prehypertensive adults (systolic blood pressure <139 mm Hg; 31 AAs and 33 NHWs) were randomized into 3 different Tension Tamer dosage conditions (5,10, or 15 min twice daily). Sleep quality was assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and 1-week bouts of continuous wrist actigraphy monitoring. The study was conducted between August 2014 and October 2016 (IRB #Pro00020894).

Results

At baseline, PSQI and actigraphy data indicated that AAs had shorter sleep duration, greater sleep disturbance, poorer efficiency, and worse quality of sleep (range P=.03 to P<.001). Longitudinal generalized linear mixed modeling revealed a dose effect modulated by ethnicity (P=.01). Multimethod assessment showed a consistent pattern of NHWs exhibiting the most favorable responses to the 5-min dose; they reported greater improvements in sleep efficiency and quality as well as the PSQI global value than with the 10-min and 15-min doses (range P=.04 to P<.001). Actigraphy findings revealed a consistent, but not statistically significant, pattern in the 5-min group, showing lower fragmentation, longer sleep duration, and higher efficiency than the other 2 dosage conditions. Among AAs, actigraphy indicated lower sleep fragmentation with the 5-min dose compared with the 10-min and 15-min doses (P=.03 and P<.001, respectively). The 10-min dose showed longer sleep duration than the 5-min and 15-min doses (P=.02 and P<.001, respectively). The 5-min dose also exhibited significantly longer average sleep than the 15-min dose (P=.03).

Conclusions

These findings indicate the need for further study of the potential modulating influence of ethnicity on the impact of BAM on sleep indices and user-centered exploration to ascertain the potential merits of refining the Tension Tamer app with attention to cultural tailoring among AAs and NHWs with pre-existing sleep complaints.
The Academic Viewpoint on Patient Data Ownership in the Context of Big Data: Scoping Review
Authors: Mirchev Martin , Mircheva Iskra , Kerekovska Albena
Published: July 2020

Background

The ownership of patient information in the context of big data is a relatively new problem, which is not yet fully recognized by the medical academic community. The problem is interdisciplinary, incorporating legal, ethical, medical, and aspects of information and communication technologies, requiring a sophisticated analysis. However, no previous scoping review has mapped existing studies on the subject.

Objective

This study aims to map and assess published studies on patient data ownership in the context of big data as viewed by the academic community.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted based on the 5-stage framework outlined by Arksey and O’Malley and further developed by Levac, Colquhoun, and O’Brien. The organization and reporting of results of the scoping review were conducted according to PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and its extensions for Scoping Reviews). A systematic and comprehensive search of 4 scientific information databases, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Springer, was performed for studies published between January 2000 and October 2019. Two authors independently assessed the eligibility of the studies and the extracted data.

Results

The review included 32 eligible articles authored by academicians that correspond to 3 focus areas: problem (ownership), area (health care), and context (big data). Five major aspects were studied: the scientific area of publications, aspects and academicians’ perception of ownership in the context of big data, proposed solutions, and practical applications for data ownership issues in the context of big data. The aspects in which publications consider ownership of medical data are not clearly distinguished but can be summarized as ethical, legal, political, and managerial. The ownership of patient data is perceived primarily as a challenge fundamental to conducting medical research, including data sales and sharing, and to a lesser degree as a means of control, problem, threat, and opportunity also in view of medical research. Although numerous solutions falling into 3 categories, technology, law, and policy, were proposed, only 3 real applications were discussed.

Conclusions

The issue of ownership of patient information in the context of big data is poorly researched; it is not addressed consistently and in its integrity, and there is no consensus on policy decisions and the necessary legal regulations. Future research should investigate the issue of ownership as a core research question and not as a minor fragment among other topics. More research is needed to increase the body of knowledge regarding the development of adequate policies and relevant legal frameworks in compliance with ethical standards. The combined efforts of multidisciplinary academic teams are needed to overcome existing gaps in the perception of ownership, the aspects of ownership, and the possible solutions to patient data ownership issues in the reality of big data.

Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, apoiada nos fundamentos filosóficos de Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez, cuja base é o Materialismo Histórico Dialético. Para tanto, recorreu-se ao estudo de caso e às seguintes técnicas de coleta de dados: a) entrevista; b) observação; e c) análise documental. As informações foram submetidas a Análise do Discurso Crítico (ADC) e os resultados evidenciaram especificidades na profissionalidade dos professores. O PPDT existe especificamente no Ceará: foi criado no âmbito das EP a partir da experiência portuguesa, adaptou-se ao currículo integral e influenciou o ethos profissional dos professores. Concluiu-se que a profissionalidade foi modificada e que tal alteração não constitui produto das formações desenvolvidas com os professores, mas decorre de sua atuação docente no cotidiano escolar.
The Formation of the Political Thought of Nizam Al-Mulk
Authors: Tojidinov F. Q. o.
Published: July 2020

The article examines the political views of the famous Persian thinker and political figure Nizam al- Mulk, expressed in his main work, the treatise “Siyasatnama”. The paper deals with the brief description of the historical situation in which the thinker’s life took place; after that the author characterizes the structure and logic of the treatise. It is argued that politics for Nizam al- Mulk is inextricably linked to practice, not reduced to a set of certain theoretical provisions. Based on personal experience and proofing his ideas by concrete examples, the thinker sketched main traits of the ideal ruler and gave recommendations that the latter should follow in order to strengthen the power of state and to maintain it. At the same time Nizam al- Mulk sought to recreate the traditional Iranian political structure throughout the Empire. In particular, a competent approach to government issues implies a good awareness of the ruler, attention to economic problems and issues of religious education and upbringing. The thinker paid great attention to all three aspects in his work. This paper also concentrates on the question, how these ideas were implemented by Nizam al- Mulk, in his attempts to create an information service (diwan-i barid) to reorganize the financial system of the Seljuk Empire. Moreover, the article discusses why some of ideas of Nizam al- Mulk (mainly related to economic development) were not implemented or led to negative consequences while have been implemented.
Tatar Settlements of Kazan and Astrakhan in the Second Half of the 18th — Early 20th Centuries: Culture And Development
Authors: Khabutdinov A. Yu. , Khabutdinova M. M. , Imasheva M. M.
Published: July 2020

The article deals with the history of formation and development of cultural landscapes of the two largest urban Tatar communities of pre-revolutionary Russia, namely of Kazan and Astrakhan. Both Astrakhan and Kazan are two centers of the Turkic–Tatar world, the history of which traces back to the Golden Horde. The both were the capitals of independent Tatar states- khanates and the both became in the middle of the XVI century the part of the Russian state. In the second half of the XVIII — early XX centuries, Tatar Muslim communities were formed in the both cities, which have had their own cultural and national identity. The Muslim population sought to preserve and develop their ethno- confessional identity. All these circumstances shaped a special cultural landscape of the Tatar settlement within the borders of the provincial Russian cities in the Modern age.

Ibn Rushd. The Great Commentary on Aristotle’s “De Anima” (Book III, comm. 17–19)
Authors: Efremova N. V.
Published: July 2020

This work presents a translation of a fragment from the work of the prominent Arab- Muslim philosopher Ibn Rushd (Lat.: Averroes, d. 1198) — of commentaries on the fifth chapter of the third book of the Ari stotelian treatise “On the Soul”. The doctrine of intellect set forth in this treatise, which is lapidary and allows for ambivalent interpretations, was developed in many directions in Muslim philosophy (falsafa), gaining new dimensions — ontological, cosmological, prophetological, eschatological. In the Long commentary, which relates to the mature period of activity of Averroes, his fundamental noological ideas were finally set forth, primarily the concept of the unity and eternity of all-human intellect. Known subsequently as Mononoism, this concept gave rise to the heated debates in European culture and became significant for Ibn Rushd’s followers — the Latin Averroists.
Sahrawi Refugees in Algeria: How Do “The People in Exile” Live?
Authors: Smeshko E. I.
Published: July 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the conditions of life of the Sahrawi people who live in refugee camps in Algeria since 1970s due to the Western Sahara conflict. The process of political settlement of the Western Sahara conflict has been de facto suspended, however the situation in the Sahrawi refugee camps remains unstable and requires new solutions and international cooperation. The article provides a historical overview of the emergence of the refugee camps in Tindouf and examines existing mechanisms for international supporting the Sahrawi people. The author tends to analyze activities of the UN system organizations and agencies. Annual events within the framework of the FiSahara Film Festival to support Sahrawi are reported. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of Islam in Sahrawi society and the possibilities to benefit from the Islamic identity of the Sahrawi people to the Islamic cooperation and helping for refugees from Muslimmajority states. It is shown that the authorities of the unrecognized Sahara Arab Democratic Republic (the front POLISARIO) create the image of the secular Sahrawi community to overcome Islamophobia and receive humanitarian aid from a wide range of non-governmental organizations, including Christian and secular ones. At the same time, the true religious component of refugees’ life is hidden from the international community.

On Historicity of the Najran Deputation: Analyzing Legends on Its Composition
Authors: Ibrahim T. K.
Published: July 2020

The article continues the analysis of the dominant doctrine in the traditional political and legal theology concerning jizya as a tribute from Non- Muslims, established by the Prophet Muhammad. The factual basis of this doctrine was discussed in relation to three paradigmatic precedents, which are usually referred to in support of it: the treatise of the Prophet with the Christians of the city of Najran; with the Jews and Christians during the Tabuk campaign; with the Majus- Zoroastrians of Bahrain. Having discussed in the previous essay the question of the authenticity of Islamic narrative on Najran deputation, from the formal hadithological point of view (i. e., in the aspect of isnad), the author proceeds here to consider these traditions in a substantial way. The study is conducted in line with the Reformist Modernist discourse.
Theory of Law and Hermeneutics of Imam Al-Shatibi
Authors: Husainov D. T.
Published: July 2020

The paper deals with notions of Imam al- Shatibi on the sources and development of Islamic law, as they are set out in his main treatise al- Muwafaqat. Al- Shatibi’s approach involved combining the usul method with maqasid al-shari‘a, which was used in order to improve the usul method itself. The author demonstrates the successive development of alShatibi’s thought in relation to the ideas of al- Ghazali and the influence of al- Shatibi on the further development of Islamic legal theory. For instance, an important concept maslahah was to a large extent derived from the ideas of al- Shatibi; later the theory of maslaha became one of the most important elements of modernism. Moreover, the paper traces back the connection of al- Shatibi’s approach in the field of law to the principles of studying the text of the Qur’an. Imam al- Shatibi contributed to the convergence of the Islamic legal theory and the interpretation of Qur’an and therefore set the framework for thematic interpretation. Al- Shatibi can be considered as a precursor to what has become known since the late 1960s as al- Tafsir alMawdu‘i, that is, an interpretation based on the consideration of a specific topic either in a single Surah or throughout the entire text of the Qur’an. One of the main advantages of the hermeneutics of al- Shatibi is that it helps to overcome the “atomism” of some studies undertaken by jurists and interpreters who mainly dealt only with certain passages of the Qur’an, but in no way with its whole content.
“Me” and “the Other” in the Arabo-Islamic Culture
Authors: Frolova E. A.
Published: July 2020

The traditional theme of “Me” and “the Other” in the light of modern politics and sociology reveals new problems connected to history of culture of different nations. Existential, social and psychological aspects of the relationship of Me and the Other present now a universal scale and thus require common efforts for their solutions. Mass migration from Asian and African countries to Europe and the USA poses new questions about mutual relations of cultures and religions. In front of Me there are new images of the Enemy emerging; they require a revision of the habitual values, including a new vision of a person’s place in society, nature, and the importance of their scientific discoveries.
