RIBA DALAM PANDANGAN AL-QUR’AN DAN HADIST
Authors: Alyaafi Muhammad , Andhera Muhammad Raffi
Published: June 2023

Riba, as the practice of adding or taking additional money in money lending transactions, is an important concern in Islamic law. In the Al-Qur'an and Hadith, usury is expressly prohibited and is considered a major sin that must be avoided by Muslims. The background to this problem involves historical aspects, where the practice of usury became a concern at the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and required decisive action. The practice of usury violates the principles of justice and can reinforce social inequalities and economic imbalances. In the era of the modern financial system, the practice of usury also affects the global financial sector, presenting a dilemma for Muslims who want to implement Islamic economic principles. Therefore, a deep understanding of the views of the Qur'an and Hadith regarding usury is important in developing an economic system that is just and in accordance with Islamic teachings. This study aims to analyze the prohibition of usury in the Qur'an and Hadith and its implications in the context of Islamic economics. Through a detailed analysis of relevant verses of the Qur'an and hadiths, a deep understanding of the concept of usury, its impact on society, and applicable Islamic economic alternatives is presented. Thus, this research provides a better understanding of usury in the view of the Qur'an and Hadith, so that it can encourage critical thinking and concrete solutions in carrying out economic activities in accordance with Islamic teachings.Keywords : Riba, Al-quran, Hadits.
Globalization and Per Capita Income Growth in Emerging Economies
Authors: Effiong Ubong Edem
Published: June 2023

In this study, the efficacy of globalization in influencing income growth within the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 1982 to 2020 is being examined. The “Konjunkturforschungsstelle Globalization Index” (KOFGI) was used to measure globalization at the overall, economic, social, and political level, while income growth was captured using the growth rate of gross national income per capita. The data employed in the analysis were gotten from World Bank and KOFGI database. The analysis follows a sequential order of unit root test based on the augmented Dickey-Fuller, autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test for cointegration, and error correction model. The unit root test revealed that the order of integration of the variables were mixed at levels and first difference. The bounds test showcased that all the dimensions of globalization exhibited long-run association with income growth. The short-run result indicated that globalization wielded a negative and significant effect on income growth. A unit percent increase in globalization put forth a 1.3818% decrease in income growth. In the long-run, globalization however exerted a positive but insignificant sway on income growth in the SSA. The implication of this is that though globalization poses a short-run negative impact on income growth, the SSA can move along the learning curve to derive some long-term benefits that emanate from global interactions. It becomes pertinent for the SSA to see globalization as a long-term avenue for propelling income growth, bearing in mind that the short-run negative effect can be corrected periodically as the economy moves along the learning curve of globalization.

Authors: Tsouli Driss
Published: June 2023

This paper aims to extend the existing literature on Internet adoption and corruption by analyzing the factors impacting the digital divide and assessing the impact of Internet adoption on corruption reduction in the Economic Community of West African States (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo). The study uses fixed and random effect panel data techniques covering 17 years (2003-2019), to exploit the times series nature of the relationship between the digital divide and its determinants. In addition, it aims to assess the impact of internet adoption along with other control variables on corruption. The estimation results show that per capita income, human capital, age, population density, government effectiveness, political stability, and the rule of law significantly affect the digital divide in ECOWAS. The findings reveal also that internet adoption affects positively the level of corruption control; the impact of an increase in internet users of 1% implies an increase in corruption control between 0.05% and 0.06%.

Published: June 2023

Com a propagação de novas mídias digitais surgiram inúmeros meios de comunicação, novos espaços de leitura e novos tipos de textos, que exigem dos leitores novos letramentos para compreender e dialogar com os gêneros multimodais. Portanto, é imprescindível que, no contexto escolar, sejam repensadas as práticas pedagógicas que valorizem mais o ato de ler, e que o uso dos multi recursos tecnológicos seja intensificado para influenciar e desenvolver o multiletramento nos estudantes. O estudo deste artigo justifica-se porque os resultados dos exames estaduais e nacionais, em relação ao ensino da língua portuguesa, são pouco satisfatórios, o que é um forte indício de que mudanças na abordagem do ensino da linguagem se fazem necessárias. Por essa razão, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar o perfil leitor dos pais e  dos alunos de uma turma de 2º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola da rede estadual do município de Dois Irmãos-RS. A base teórica foi construída com apoio nos estudos de Bakhtin (2000), Chartier (1999), Cope e Kalantzis (2000), Jouve (2002), Petit (2008), Rojo e Moura (2018) e Santaella (2004). O estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, bibliográfica, qualitativa e pesquisa- ação. Em relação ao contexto, a coleta de dados foi realizada numa escola da rede estadual do município de Dois Irmãos-RS, numa turma de 2º ano do Ensino Médio com 16 alunos. Como instrumento de pesquisa, utilizou-se um questionário que foi aplicado aos alunos e aos pais, com o objetivo de traçar o perfil leitor desses alunos e familiares.

Authors: Konga Mateus , Nzau Domingos Kimpolo
Published: June 2023

Este estudo tem por finalidade investigar a qualidade de ensino-aprendizagem de Matemática professada em Angola. O tema escolhido é o conceito matemático de notação científica e participaram dele professores de três escolas da Província angolana de Cabinda. Os resultados alcançados revelam que a formação profissional dos professores de Matemática nessa Província ainda não é a desejada, embora todos tenham a formação pedagógica em níveis académicos diferenciados desde o ensino secundário ao de pós-graduação e até mesmo outros em formação superior de carácter pedagógico. Isto porque, todos ou quase todos os inquiridos têm ainda os métodos tradicionais de ensino como preferência que debilitam a formação sólida dos alunos em Matemática, um facto que acabou de ser confirmado com os dados comparativos levantados sobre a avaliação dos alunos dessas escolas em três sucessivos anos lectivos.

Published: June 2023

Agriculture has always played a vital role in Ukraine, which is primarily due to the geographical features of the location. Currently, the agricultural sector is the basis of the country’s international specialisation. Thus, finding opportunities to improve this sector efficiency is still relevant. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to find ways to increase efficiency during activities in one of the agriculture branches, namely livestock breeding, within the framework of raising pigs. The main methods during work were analysis, deduction, modelling, forecasting, etc. During the study, a detailed review of the considering possibilities of the efficiency improvement of raising pigs was conducted. They were conventionally divided into two categories: connected with management processes and directly caring for animals. Thus, the author concludes that by using some methods of raising animals, a better quality of meat can be achieved, and therefore receive higher profits from its sale. During the study, possibilities connected with diet regulation, animals living conditions (temperature, enclosures, etc.), genetics and some others were directly considered. As for management tips, they are also analysed and provided by the authors: in particular, it was determined that cost reduction plays a huge role in such enterprises.

Published: June 2023

The relevance of improving the efficiency of agriculture in Mongolia and, accordingly, the role of personnel management in the implementation of this task has grown especially in recent years when the number of pastures and arable land has substantially decreased due to an increase in the area of mineral extraction. The purpose of the study is to determine the most effective motivation and planning system for them, considering the national characteristics and mentality of agricultural workers, mainly nomadic shepherds, and to form recommendations on the most acceptable management style for this group. The Holfstede typology of cultural dimensions was used as a key method to identify the cultural and behavioural characteristics of the target audience. During the survey conducted among 1514 staff representatives and processing of its results, the average indicators for six cultural dimensions were calculated, and estimates of these indicators were given. According to the obtained data on the typology of cultural dimensions, it was determined that values in the examined social group are largely determined by traditions and customs, which means that a managerial model is in demand that will not impose existing Western management principles but uses its own tools based on relatively democratic principles. Based on the obtained characteristics, recommendations were formed on such key management tools as the principles of subordination, the system of setting tasks and monitoring their implementation, and on the effective motivation of personnel. The practical importance of the study lies in the development of recommendations for improving personnel management and, as a result, increasing efficiency at agricultural enterprises in Mongolia

Published: June 2023

The creation of new potato varieties with prominent economically valuable properties and comprehensive resistance against the most common diseases is one of the main areas of crop breeding at present. First of all, this is due to the possibility of increasing the gross production of potatoes, improving its economic performance, as well as the tasks of protecting the environment from pesticide pollution, which contributes to a substantial improvement in the environment and obtaining environmentally safe products. The purpose of this study was to identify varieties with a prominent level of yield and resistance against potato blight in the western region of Ukraine. The study was conducted using field (assessment of disease development), laboratory, analytical, and mathematical and statistical methods. The paper provides a theoretical substantiation and a new solution to the important scientific task of establishing the specific features of the use of Ukrainian and foreign varieties, intervarietal and multispecies hybrids by parental forms in potato breeding. The study summarized the features of the manifestation of productivity components, quality traits, resistance to potato blight, correlations between economic and valuable traits, selection of new parent forms for intervarietal and interspecies hybridization, nature of high productivity, quality and potato blight resistance of breeding material, and created genetically valuable varieties with great value in potato selection and for agricultural production of Ukraine. Based on this, the possibility and effectiveness of the combination of the transfer of traits to the offspring and their inheritance was proven, which will expand the existing base of initial breeding material for further work on the creation of promising potato varieties of different maturity groups with highly valuable economic traits

Authors: Zelenіanska Natalia , Ishchenko Iryna , Samofalov Mykhailo
Published: June 2023

Successful rooting of grape microclones in uncontrolled environmental conditions (in vivo) depends on the level of resistance, which is formed at the stage of their passage and growth in vitro. An important role in this case is played by indicators of the water regime of the vegetative mass. The purpose of this study was to get acquainted with the results of determining the water-holding capacity, the intensity of transpiration of grape microclones in vitro and to establish the share of their influence on the adaptation potential in vivo. Biotechnological, laboratory, vegetation, and mathematical and statistical research methods were used in this study. The obtained results showed that to optimize the physiological processes in the tissues of the leaves and shoots of grape microclones, to increase their viability under in vivo conditions, it is advisable to cultivate them in vitro on structured nutrient media (MS + agroperlite, MS + vermiculite, MS + agroperlite + vermiculite) with the content of phytohormones IAA – 0.2 mg/l, and 6-BAP – 0.3 mg/l. Structured nutrient media contributed to an increase in water retention capacity and a decrease in the intensity of transpiration of tissues of leaves and shoots of microclones of both technical and rootstock varieties. During 60 minutes of research, from 0.006 g to 0.034 g of water evaporated from microclones of technical varieties, from 0.003 g to 0.053 g from microclones of rootstock varieties, respectively. Transpiration intensity (after 10 min) decreased by 1.7-1.8 times. On the control Murashige and Skoog nutrient medium, plants evaporated a larger amount of water during the corresponding period of time: from 0.006 g to 0.079 g (technical varieties) and from 0.008 g to 0.086 g (rootstock varieties); the intensity of transpiration was higher. After cultivation of grape microclones on structured nutrient media, they were characterized by a higher content of dry matter in the tissues of leaves and shoots (14.6-15.0%) and better survival rates in vivo (76.3-98.5%, at 58.5-65.2% in control). The reliability of the results obtained is confirmed by the results of multivariate analysis of variance. The obtained results expand the understanding of dynamic changes in the indicators of the water regime of the vegetative mass of grape microclones in vitro, their influence on plant survival under in vivo conditions

Tarımla İlgili İnanışlar ve Günümüze Yansımaları (Arpa, Buğday, Bulgur)
Authors: YILDIZ Sümeyya
Published: June 2023

Tarımsal faaliyetler, geçmişten günümüze insanlar adına birçok unsuru içerisinde barındırdığı için önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu faaliyetler arasında halk inanışları ve halk kültürüne dair izler bulunabilmektedir. Ekme-biçme zamanlarında gelenek haline gelen ritüellere gerçeklik ve kutsallık atfedilerek bunların halkın içinde yaşaması sağlanmıştır. Gerek ekim zamanlarında gerekse hasat zamanlarında ortaya çeşitli mahalli sözler, deyimler, atasözleri, halk hekimliği, halk inanışları ve uygulamaları ile ilgili insanların gündelik hayata yansıyan geleneksel uygulamalar ortaya çıkmıştır. Anadolu’nun hemen hemen her yerinde değişerek yaşayan bu uygulama ve ritüelleri hayatımızın pek çok safhasında görmekteyiz. Yeryüzü Türklerde kutsal kabul edilmiş ve tarımla olan ilişkisi de bu kutsallığa dâhil edilerek yeniden doğuşu simgeleyen toprak ve ona ekilen tohumlara özel anlamlar yüklenmiştir. Toprak hem bizi beslediği hem de bize bir yurt sunduğu için ana motifiyle karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Toprağa ana sıfatı yüklenmiş, ona ekilen tohumlar da bebek gibi görülmüştür. Toprağa besleyen, büyüten ve doğuran özelliği yüklenerek daha farklı boyutlarda hayatımıza sirayet ettiği görülmektedir. Bundan dolayıdır ki ekim zamanı insanlar toprağa karşı istenilen özeni ve saygıyı gösterip ondan bir anne şefkatiyle ekinleri büyütmesini beklemişlerdir. Dinsel-büyüsel anlamda bu boyutlar hayatımızın her evresinde kendine yer bulmakta ve hayatımıza yön vermemizi sağlamaktadır Çalışmamızın kapsamı olarak Sivas ili Yıldızeli ilçesine bağlı Direkli Sarıkaya Köyü seçilmiştir. Çalışmamızın amacı Direkli Sarıkaya köyünde geçmişten günümüze aktarılan tarımsal faaliyetleri inanç ve pratikler noktasında ele almaktır. Günümüze kadar ulaşabilen bu pratiklerin kökeninin nereye dayandığına bir cevap vermek ve daha önceki kullanımı ile elimize ulaşan kullanımları arasındaki bağı ve farklı noktaları göstermektir. Sonuç olarak da tarımla ilgili eski Şamanist unsurların bu yörede canlılığını koruduğu ve hatta devam ettiği, bazı noktalarda değişim ve dönüşüm yaşayarak devamlılığını sağladığı görülmüştür.

Design and manufacturing of a LIGHTBOARD - Combining the peer-to-peer idea with project based teaching
Authors: Pfennig Anja
Published: June 2023

For lecturers in higher education it is a great challenge to involve students into critical thinking, carefully pondering solutions to mechanical engineering problems. Project based teaching gives the opportunity to gain both, higher learning outcome and self-reliant study skills. During fourth semester mechanical engineering a guided one semester project (180 hours workload, 6 ECTS) related to a complex real engineering problem focussing on customer demands and possible solutions. It comprised of the design and manufacturing of a lightboard – a “learning glass panel” consisting of a high quality optiglass panel which is surrounded by LED lights. As on regular whiteboards a lecture may be given and filmed directly writing on the 16:9 screen glass panel with flourescent pens – the lecturer always facing the audience. This lightboard project directly involves students in the production of a teaching device (peer-to-peer approach) and the teaching method is regarded beneficial in terms of students` learning outcome and self-reliance as well as engineering skills. However, the work load is very high and grading is insuffient. Therefore the method and the role of a lecturer as facilitator is discussed.
Black Digital Humanities in Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Teaching on Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality
Authors: Zaborowska Magdalena J , Rodríguez Barrera Juan J
Published: June 2023

Two undergraduate courses (2020-23) introduce students interested in the humanities and computing to the life, works, and intellectual and material legacy of the world-famous African American writer and activist James Baldwin (1924-1987). Cross-listed with the Afroamerican, American Culture, Digital Studies, and English Departments, these courses utilize an open-access digital collection documenting Baldwin’s life and his selected works. Through innovative and experiential application of literary history in conversation with the emerging fields of Black Digital Studies and Black Digital Humanities, students develop projects that build (and build on) a growing, open-access archive. Published on the ArcGIS StoryMaps platform, these projects achieve two important higher-education goals: (1) They produce student-driven knowledge on an internationally renowned Black figure accessible to non-academic users; and (2) they confirm the importance of humanities and diversity literacy as invaluable skillsets in the modern workplace.
Quest-based Gamification In A Software Development Lab Course: A Case Study
Authors: H. Flores Nuno , Pinto Rui
Published: June 2023

Motivation and engagement play a crucial role in student success in a course. Students may lose interest or underestimate courses that tackle non-core learning outcomes to their specific curriculum or program. Gamification, using game elements (e.g., rewards, challenges) in non-game contexts, is one way to motivate and engage students. Some educational courses use project-based learning, where students tackle problems, overcome obstacles, and gain knowledge. Quest-based games are designed as systems of challenges that players must complete to advance and win the game. They were linked with education by applying specific game mechanics to a computing course unit. This paper case studies the application of a quest-based gamification approach in a mandatory software engineering course to boost engagement among higher education students. Results were collected through observational methods and surveying the students, indicating a tendency for higher grades in course years implementing gamification while maintaining satisfactory levels of motivation and engagement.

Published: June 2023

Namibian higher education institutions have been striving to enhance quality assurance in the last decade. Building internal quality assurance (QA) capacity has been challenging. We explored the perceptions and experiences of internal quality assurance stakeholders. This research is embedded in Margret Archer's social realism theory as a guide to improving internal QA systems. We adopted a case study design based on an interpretive paradigm. Two purposively selected higher education institutions with university status were selected, and we recruited participants from the universities’ population of stakeholders based on their roles. We conducted semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. The findings showed that although both institutions had QA units, the institutions were still facing challenges to attain effective quality implementation and administration. Challenges to implementing QA include a lack of financial resources and students’ engagement in the quality assurance activities.
Examining university student satisfaction and barriers to taking online remote exams

Recent years have seen a surge in the popularity of online exams at universities, due to the greater convenience and flexibility they offer both students and institutions. Driven by the dearth of empirical data on distance learning students' satisfaction levels and the difficulties they face when taking online exams, a survey with 562 students at the [anonymised] university was conducted to gain insights into their experiences with this type of exam. Satisfaction was reported with the environment and exams, while work commitments and technical difficulties presented the greatest barriers. Gender, race and disability were also associated with different levels of satisfaction and barriers. This study adds to the increasing number of studies into online exams, demonstrating how this type of exam can still have a substantial effect on students experienced in online learning systems and technologies.

Published: June 2023

Increasingly university programmes are introducing a range of experiential learning based programmes to support students to develop their entrepreneurial competencies during their time at university. This paper describes how the University of Galway is utilising the Entrepreneurial Potential and Innovation Competences Tool (EPIC) to track the changes in student self-reported competencies having participated in one of its flagship student entrepreneurial programmes.  Based in Ideaslab, the university’s Human Centre Design Studio, the approach used is experiential, design centric and informed by D.School, Stanford. Initial findings from the EPIC surveys completed by 23 students are reported.  These data are part of a university wide initiative and further data will be collected over the next three semesters.   In so doing, we hope to add to the body of knowledge concerning the utility of this approach to measuring the changes in entrepreneurial competencies following participating in a university based entrepreneurial learning activity.

Published: June 2023

This communication aims to present one of the online courses in Microcredential format developed at Universidade Aberta, Portugal. A framework of the European guidelines on Microcredentials is presented, defining its main characteristics, namely highlighting its advantages in the context of reskilling or upskilling with a view to its applicability in the labor context. Following the guidelines of the Portuguese Ministry of Higher Education, a proposal for a Microcredential in Digital Distance Learning was developed, conceptualized for teacher training, with more than 1200 trainees already involved. The evaluation carried out by survey among trainees shows very positive results in all items assessed, with strong emphasis on the transferability and applicability of the knowledge acquired to work contexts. These results show that this course developed within the scope of Microcredentials broadly meets the needs of reskilling and upskilling, which are increasingly important in the adaptability of adults to the new challenges that digital transformation implies.

In the 2016-2017 academic year, a novel Double Degree educational project named MEM (Master in Engineering Management) between the University of Parma and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) had begun. Since then, three (3) double degree master's programmes have been developed, starting with the Engineering Management course. To date, 113 students have attended the MEM programme. This paper aims to assess the impact of the MEM double degree programme. To this end, a questionnaire was developed and submitted to the students who completed the project and entered the workforce (66 students). An analysis of the survey results was then conducted to determine the impact, if any, of the MEM programme on the students' academic careers and/or their entry into the workforce. The results were compared across two (2) sets of students: those who participated in the programme and the students that graduated from the standard degree course.

Published: June 2023

A course design to introduce to critical thinking was built in the context of the need of developing these skills, with aiming at proposing this course beyond disciplinary knowledges. Critical thinking may be considered a process that transcends disciplines, committing students to be actors of their learning. Due to constraints related to the high number, the diversity of students (<500 students/session), this course was proposed as an online learning environment on Moodle. The course contains learning modules including resources and interactive components. We discuss here the strengths and limits of this course design. Optimization and opportunity to adapt the framework of online learning environments for students to exercise critical thinking are considered.
A Suggested Program for Developing First Year University Students’ Agency
Authors: El Souefi Nevine Mahmoud Fayek
Published: June 2023

AbstractStudents joining universities sometimes lack the agency to lead their lives and succeed in higher education. In the educational context, agency refers to the more empowered positioning of students to be active agents in their own learning lives. Enhancing life skills/competencies can facilitate students’ agency when they instill positive set beliefs and personal competencies, creating agentic capacity. Action Learning is one of the methods used to enhance life skills/competencies by engaging students in real life problems, taking action, and continuously reflecting on their actions. This paper presents a suggested program for building firs-year university students’ agency through a balanced approach of Competency-based Learning, Action Learning, and Reflective Learning.
