Published: September 2024

The impact of digital technology on Indonesian society has been profound, leading to changes in cultural and religious practices. This study focuses on the phenomenon of Gus Baha's Jalalayn Tafsir recitation on YouTube and aims to understand how this has become a contemporary fragment in the history of tafsir recitation in Indonesian pesantrens. The study employs a media theory approach popularized by Marshall McLuhan to analyze the workings and impact of this recent phenomenon. McLuhan's theory includes three main ideas, such as Medium is The Message and Medium as Extension of Man, which are used to explore the new workings of Gus Baha's Jalalayn Tafsir recitation on YouTube, as well as the Global Village and Technology Determinism to understand the impact of this phenomenon. The study seeks to answer two key questions: (1) how is the phenomenon of Gus Baha's Tafsir recitation on YouTube and (2) how it has become part of the long history of pesantren tradition. The results of this study will provide insights into how digital technology has changed religious practices in Indonesia and the role of YouTube in this change.
The Controversy over the Authority of Āsim bin Bahdalah Al-Kufi in Qira’at Studies and Hadith Studies during the Abbasid Dynasty
Authors: Muqtada Muhammad Rikza
Published: September 2024

This article explores the comparative authority of Āsim b. Bahdalah al-Kufi in the realms of Qur’anic recitation and hadith studies. Āsim, who lived in the second century AH (128 A.H.), held a significant position in the field of qira’at, boasting a substantial following, including in Indonesia. His narration of the qira’at was widely recognized for its high degree of authenticity and reliability. However, when it came to the domain of hadith studies, his authority faced negative evaluations (majruh) from critics in this field. This study adopts a critical historical approach to scrutinize the disparities in Āsim b. Bahdalah’s authority between Qur’anic qira’at and Hadith studies. The findings of this investigation reveal that these discrepancies in authority were closely linked to political factors associated with the ‘Abbasid dynasty. Abu ‘Ali Muhammad b. ‘Ali b. Muqlah al-Shirazi, a prominent Minister in Baghdad during the Abbasid era, played a pivotal role in shaping the views of Ibn Mujahid and influencing the content of his work. Ibn Mujahid opted to document the name of Āsim b. Bahdalah over Abu Muhammad Ya’qub b. Ishaq al-Hadrami al-Basri, who was deemed disloyal to the Abbasid rulers. The political pressure exerted by the Abbasid rulers appears to have played a crucial role in his decision-making process. In fact, the Abbasid rulers went to great lengths, even compelling scholars who disagreed with Ibn Mujahid’s views to retract their positions and issue apologies for their dissent. Some scholars were subjected to imprisonment as a consequence of their refusal to align with the official viewpoint. This comparison underscores how politics had the capacity to wield substantial influence over the assessment of intellectual authority across various fields of knowledge in historical contexts.
The Ottoman Approach to Scientific Classification in Tafsir History: A Study of Taskopruluzade Ahmad Efendi’s ‘Miftâhu’s-Saâde’
Authors: Hariani Hidayah
Published: September 2024

This study presents an analytical investigation of the historical aspect of tafsir within the Ottoman tradition, as found in the literary composition "Miftāhus-Sa'âda," which was authored by Taskopruluzade (d. 968/1561). This work holds a significant role in the classification of knowledge, serving as the foundational underpinning for the establishment of scientific traditions within the Ottoman Empire. Through the lens of this work, the historical narrative of tafsir is recontextualized to align with the scientific framework inherent in the Ottoman tradition, thus imparting a distinctive character to the realm of Qur'anic interpretation during the Ottoman Empire's tenure. Employing historical research methodologies encompassing heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, this investigation critically examines the history of scientific classification, a bedrock for shaping the taxonomy of categorized disciplines within their respective contexts. The research delves deeply into the composition of "Miftâhu’s-Saâde," offering a comprehensive perspective on the evolution of tafsir history. The findings of this research underscore that, in the process of Science Classification congruent with the scientific ethos of the Ottoman Empire, Taskopruluzade, within "Miftâhu’s-Saâde," undertakes three pivotal tasks. Firstly, he evaluates classical tafsir works through the lens of scientific classification norms entrenched in the Ottoman tradition. Secondly, these appraised tafsir works are juxtaposed with others, facilitating the establishment of benchmarks and taxonomies that wield considerable influence in guiding the trajectory of tafsir history. Thirdly, a comprehensive exploration ensues into the interplay between interpretive works and the activities of interpretation. The implications of this discourse offer a substantive contribution, deepening the comprehension of tafsir history and the classification of knowledge within the scholarly milieu of the Ottoman Empire.
Linguistic Complexity in Hadith: An Examination of the Role and Origins of 'Al-kalimat al-mubtakirah' in Hadith
Authors: Machsun Mohamad Anang Firdaus
Published: September 2024

This research investigates an intriguing phenomenon concerning the use of the Arabic language in the narrations of Hadith. Despite Prophet Muhammad's acknowledged fluency in the Arabic language, there are instances of foreign words, known as "gharabah," used in some hadith. One striking example is the term "al-kalimat al-mubtakirah," which constitutes a newly coined vocabulary by Prophet Muhammad and was not fully comprehended by his companions. This study aims to examine three crucial aspects related to this phenomenon. Firstly, it identifies patterns within the al-kalimat al-mubtakirah that have never been heard before in the Arabic language, whether in the form of words, phrases, or sentences. Secondly, it delves deeper into the eloquence of prophethood and the role of foreign words (gharabah) in Prophet Muhammad's hadith. Thirdly, it attempts to elucidate the reasons behind the emergence of foreign words in Prophet Muhammad's hadith. The methodology employed in this research is literature review, with a focus on the examination of al-kalimat al-mubtakirah related to the Prophet's eloquence in hadith and the concept of gharabah in the science of rhetoric (balaghah). The research findings reveal the following: Firstly, the innovative words coined by Prophet Muhammad demonstrate a high level of linguistic proficiency. Al-kalimat al-mubtakirah encompasses three distinct patterns, namely words, phrases, and sentences. Secondly, the foreign words in Prophet Muhammad's hadith are regarded as good foreign words (al-gharib al-hasan). Their usage is uncommon in everyday Arabic language due to their higher level of linguistic complexity compared to the common understanding. Thirdly, this research identifies six reasons why foreign words appear in Prophet Muhammad's Hadith.
Architectural Interpretations of Qur’anic and Hadith Influences in Traditional Indonesian Mosques During the Walisanga Era
Authors: Fikriyati Ulya
Published: September 2024

This research investigates the reception of the Qur’ān within the realm of mosque architecture, traditionally assessed through the study of text integrated into mosque ornamentation. This article introduces a reception studies to Walisanga mosques architecture, encompassing considerations of spatial design, essence, illumination, and interior ambiance. Notably, this study diverges from conventional methods by abstaining from the inclusion of Qur’anic or hadith text. The primary objectives of this article are twofold: a) to elucidate the relationship between the architecture of traditional Indonesian mosques and the Qur’an and Hadith, and b) to unveil how architectural elements within traditional mosques visually interpret QS. 24:35 and the Hadith of Gabriel. In order to achieve a comprehensive analysis, this study employs both semantic and hermeneutic methodologies. The semantic approach is applied to dissect the atomistic structure of QS. 24:35 and the Hadith of Gabriel, with the intent of identifying foundational components that underpin the concept of tajug tumpang in traditional Indonesian mosque architecture. Subsequently, a hermeneutic approach is adopted to explore the interconnection between the verse QS. 24:35, the Hadith of Gabriel, and their architectural manifestations within the context of traditional Indonesian mosque construction.The result of the analysis culminates in the identification of two primary forms of architectural reception of QS. 24:35 and the Hadith of Gabriel within traditional Indonesian mosques. Firstly, instances wherein the textual meanings are directly translatable are actualized through elements such as light, lanterns, trees, and niches, all tailored to the Indonesian cultural milieu. Secondly, fundamental concepts derived from the Qur’an and Hadith, which resist tangible representation, are reinterpreted and incorporated into facets of spatial arrangement, lighting schemes, colour selections, ornamental details, and the harmonization of additional components, all resonating harmoniously with the Indonesian cultural identity.

Authors: Rijal Ali  , Isnaini Subi Nur
Published: September 2024

This research aims to explore the relationship between digitizing interpretation, texts, messages, and societal practices through the transformation, reception, and deconstruction of Tafsir Al-Mishbah. The issue of digitizing interpretation is often viewed solely through the lens of technological transition and historical narrative, overlooking its societal implications. This study seeks to delve into the interplay among these elements by examining the digitization process, features of the digital application, and societal reception of Tafsir Al-Mishbah. It outlines three problem formulations: the digitalization process, features in the digital application, and reception within the digitization phenomenon. To address these formulations, a qualitative netnographic research method was employed. Data were collected through observation and documentation, primarily from video recordings on the Quraish Shihab YouTube channel, which provides insights into the digitization process and various versions of Tafsir Al-Mishbah. The research concludes that digitalization serves as a means to transform Tafsir Al-Mishbah, enabling independent Qur’an study while maintaining ties with authoritative figures. It bridges innovations with limitations present in printed editions, catering to the public's needs. Furthermore, the digitization of Tafsir Al-Mishbah is closely tied to Quraish Shihab's interpretation of divine promises, as referenced in QS. al-Qamar [54]: 17, 22, 32, and 40. This study highlights the often-overlooked aspects of digitalization, showcasing its relationship with innovation, ideology, and public reception. It underscores that the transformation of religious texts, including the Qur’an and Tafsir, contributes to the discourse on the living Qur’an and living Tafsir.
Gender Equality within Family in Islamic Perspective: Insights from The Hadiths of Ummul Mukminin
Authors: Nadia Zunly , Faoziah Niswatin
Published: September 2024

The concept of gender equality is crucial in reinforcing societal foundations and addressing issues of injustice. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding gender equality within the context of families, recognized as one of society'smost influential institutions. By exploring gender dynamics within the family, this research draws on the Hadith, which encapsulates historical records and narratives from the Prophet Muhammad's life in a patriarchal Arab society. Despite societal norms, the Prophet’s Hadith texts, driven by principles of equality and justice, advocate for equal relationships between men and women, sparking considerable debate and protest from his contemporaries. The significance of Hadith texts from Ummul Mukminin (the Mothers of the Believers) in discussing gender relations within the family lies in their potential to serve as a reference source. Utilizing content analysis as a methodology, this research provides a comprehensive examination of relevant Hadiths and their implications for modern gender equality within the family. The findings highlight the Prophet’s dedication to creating a model of marital relations based on mutual respect, compassion, and equality. The study positions these texts as guides for families, helping them reinforce their functions and internalize equality values, contributing to the formation of a maslahah family—a family governed by principles prioritizing societal well-being.
The Evolution of 'Kafir' in the Qur’an: A Diachronic Study on the Socio-Political Influences Shaping Its Meaning
Authors: Muawwanah Nafisatul
Published: September 2024

The term 'kafir' in the Qur’an possesses a complex meaning, which is one of the most pivotal elements of the Qur’an, influenced by the context from the time of revelation to the practice of the interpretive community. Considering the element of time, the meaning of 'kafir' has changed over the years; it is dynamic and dependent on temporal, spatial, and socio-political contexts. This paper explores the historical-critical changes in the meaning of 'kafir' over time, known as a diachronic study, by considering the socio-political backgrounds accompanying these emerging meanings. The objective of this paper is to foster a more comprehensive understanding of 'kafir' as a dynamic and discursive term throughout history. The findings indicate that with the continuous evolution of context, different understandings and meanings have surfaced, rendering the meaning of 'kafir' fluid. The term dates back to pre-Islamic times and was later used in the Qur’an within a new conceptual framework. Within the interpretive community, political divisions in the first centuries of Islam contributed to diverse meanings of 'kafir.' In the modern era, the predominance of the nation-state concept has brought the term 'kafir' into debates concerning the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims and their status within the nation-state. This type of historically grounded diachronic study helps to avoid essentialism in the study of historically significant terms and concepts related to Muslim societies, which are still often examined in popular academic discourse.

Published: September 2024

This study was conducted in Bandung, the provincial capital of West Java, to reevaluate the tactile paving installation system based on the movement patterns of visually impaired pedestrians in urban networks. Given the rising global prevalence of low vision and blindness, creating inclusive urban environments has become a critical health and social issue. The research aimed to address the gap in accessibility by focusing on how tactile paving can better align with the daily rhythms and needs of visually impaired individuals. Data collection involved interviews, and data analysis utilized a mixed-methods approach. Findings revealed that the movement patterns of visually impaired pedestrians are intricately connected to their essential activities. The study concludes that a hierarchical approach to tactile paving installation can improve efficiency, particularly in cities with limited funding, thus promoting broader and more effective development of inclusive urban networks. These insights are valuable for both immediate facility improvements and future transit-oriented development planning.
Implications of TRPM3 and TRPM8 for sensory neuron sensitisation
Authors: Behrendt Marc
Published: September 2024

Sensory neurons serve to receive and transmit a wide range of information about the conditions of the world around us as well as the external and internal state of our body. Sensitisation of these nerve cells, i.e. becoming more sensitive to stimuli or the emergence or intensification of spontaneous activity, for example in the context of inflammation or nerve injury, can lead to chronic diseases such as neuropathic pain. For many of these disorders there are only very limited treatment options and in order to find and establish new therapeutic approaches, research into the exact causes of sensitisation with the elucidation of the underlying mechanisms and the identification of the molecular components is therefore essential. These components include plasma membrane receptors and ion channels that are involved in signal reception and transmission. Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family are also expressed in sensory neurons and some of them play a crucial role in temperature perception. This review article focuses on the heat-sensitive TRPM3 and the cold-sensitive TRPM8 (and TRPA1) channels and their importance in sensitisation of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons is discussed based on studies related to inflammation and injury- as well as chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.
Solutions to the Schrödinger equation using deep neural networks for integrated photonics
Authors: Dubey Sourabh Kumar , Islahi Hibah , Singh Raghvendra
Published: September 2024

This paper introduces a novel method for solving the Schrödinger equation through the use of deep neural networks (DNNs), presenting a significant departure from traditional techniques. Conventional approaches to solving the Schrödinger equation, such as analytical methods and numerical algorithms, often face challenges when dealing with complex quantum systems due to their inherent limitations. These traditional methods can become cumbersome or even infeasible as the complexity of the systems increases. In contrast, our approach harnesses the capabilities of deep neural networks to approximate both the wavefunction and the energy eigenvalues of quantum systems. By leveraging the flexible and powerful nature of DNNs, we provide a new pathway to solving the Schrödinger equation that can potentially overcome the constraints of classical methods. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we apply it to the particle in a box problem – a fundamental quantum mechanics model with well-established analytical solutions. This benchmark problem serves as a useful test case, allowing us to demonstrate that DNNs can not only replicate the known results accurately but also offer insights into how these networks can handle more intricate quantum systems. Our results reveal that DNNs are capable of accurately reproducing the analytical solutions for the particle in a box, illustrating their potential as a versatile tool for quantum mechanics.

On the Value of Informal Communication in Archaeological Data Work
Authors: Batist Zachary
Published: September 2024

Archaeological data simultaneously serve as formal documentary evidence that supports and legitimizes chains of analytical inference and as communicative media that bind together scholarly activities distributed across time, place, and social circumstance. This contributes to a sense of “epistemic anxiety,” whereby archaeologists require that data be objective and decisive to support computational analysis but also intuitively understand data to be subjective and situated based on their own experiences as participants in an archaeological community of practice. In this article, I present observations of and elicitations about archaeological practices relating to the constitution and transformation of data in three cases in order to articulate this tension and document how archaeologists cope with it. I found that archaeologists rely on a wide variety of situated representations of archaeological experiences – which are either not recorded at all or occupy entirely separate and unpublished data streams – to make sense of more formal records. This undervalued information is crucial for ensuring that relatively local, bounded, and private collaborative ties may be extended beyond the scope of a project and, therefore, should be given more attention as we continue to develop open data infrastructures.
Role of the Nucleus Accumbens in Signaled Avoidance Actions
Authors: Zhou Ji , Hormigo Sebastian , Sajid Muhammad S. , Castro-Alamancos Manuel A.
Published: September 2024

Animals, humans included, navigate their environments guided by sensory cues, responding adaptively to potential dangers and rewards. Avoidance behaviors serve as adaptive strategies in the face of signaled threats, but the neural mechanisms orchestrating these behaviors remain elusive. Current circuit models of avoidance behaviors indicate that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in the ventral striatum plays a key role in signaled avoidance behaviors, but the nature of this engagement is unclear. Evolving perspectives propose the NAc as a pivotal hub for action selection, integrating cognitive and affective information to heighten the efficiency of both appetitive and aversive motivated behaviors. To unravel the engagement of the NAc during active and passive avoidance, we used calcium imaging fiber photometry to examine NAc GABAergic neuron activity inad libitummoving mice performing avoidance behaviors. We then probed the functional significance of NAc neurons using optogenetics and genetically targeted or electrolytic lesions. We found that NAc neurons code contraversive orienting movements and avoidance actions. However, direct optogenetic inhibition or lesions of NAc neurons did not impair active or passive avoidance behaviors, challenging the notion of their purported pivotal role in adaptive avoidance. The findings emphasize that while the NAc encodes avoidance movements, it is not required for avoidance behaviors, highlighting the distinction between behavior encoding or representation and mediation or generation.

The rat dorsomedial (DMS) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS), equivalent to caudate nucleus and putamen in primates, are required for goal-directed and habit behaviour, respectively. However, it is still unclear whether and how this functional dichotomy emerges in the course of learning. In this study, we investigated this issue by recording DMS and DLS single neuron activity in rats performing a continuous spatial alternation task, from the acquisition to optimized performance. We first applied a classical analytical approach to identify task-related activity based on the modifications of single neuron firing rate in relation to specific task events or maze trajectories. We then used an innovative approach based on Hawkes process to reconstruct a directed connectivity graph of simultaneously recorded neurons, that was used to decode animal behavior. This approach enabled us to better unravel the role of DMS and DLS neural networks across learning stages. We showed that DMS and DLS display different task-related activity throughout learning stages, and the proportion of coding neurons over time decreases in the DMS and increases in the DLS. Despite these major differences, the decoding power of both networks increases during learning. These results suggest that DMS and DLS neural networks gradually reorganize in different ways in order to progressively increase their control over the behavioral performance.

Authors: Kondur Oksana
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to issues of improving the effectiveness of the process of studying mathematics methods in higher education with the help of game technologies. An educational game is a joint activity, which is one of the important psychological and pedagogical foundations of the process of self-realization of an education seeker in educational activities. Game methods are interactive learning methods. They are practice-oriented, aimed at activating students, contribute to their professional development and, accordingly, increase the quality of educational activities and the effectiveness of professional training. This determines the relevance of the application of game technologies in the educational process of a higher school. The article analyzes various classifications of game technologies in education. It is justified that the main didactic goals of the educational game can be achieved if it is carefully prepared from the organizational and methodological side. The possibilities of using situational game learning technologies for the development of professional competence of future teachers are described. Thanks to an organized pedagogical experiment, it was established that game technologies for teaching mathematics and mathematics methods contribute to the creation of an active, business-like, emotional educational environment. They help students develop communication skills. They also contribute to a deeper understanding of mathematical and methodical definitions. The role of the teacher and his interaction with students at various stages of the application of game technologies are analyzed. His positional place during the game is characterized. Modern requirements for the professional training of specialists in institutions of higher education lead to the permanent implementation of innovative learning technologies, among which game technologies occupy an important place. Gamification of the educational process in higher education improves the preparation of students for future professional activities in society.

Authors: Iliichuk Liubomyra
Published: September 2024

The article substantiates the essence of modern university social responsibility and reveals its influence on ensuring higher education quality. The connection between university social responsibility and higher education quality is determined when social responsibility is primary. The quality of higher education is its derived component. It has been proved that social responsibility characterizes a higher education institution's responsibility to society for the results and quality of educational activities, the transfer of socially recognized values to students, and their integration into society. It is noted that the social responsibility of a higher education institution is realized through the following components: a generator of educational services, an employer, a participant in social relations, a participant in economic and political relations with the state, and a business partner. The priority directions of the development of the university's social responsibility, which connects its educational activity, the system of relations, values, norms, and principles adopted in it with obligations to society and various categories of stakeholders, are revealed. The components, effective mechanisms, and relevant markers for evaluating the quality of higher education in the context of university social responsibility have been identified, including higher education students’ knowledge and competencies; meeting stakeholders’ needs and demands; processes, and areas of activity of the higher education institution; the results of the university functioning and the vital activities of the higher education system. The identified components constituting the evaluation mechanism – knowledge and competencies, stakeholders, processes, and results of the university’s activity – are interrelated, and only in a relationship can guarantee the quality of educational activities in a particular higher education institution.

Information and explanatory functions, which arethe subject of the whole article, are only its secondary purpose. Communicative-pragmatic and functional features of socialnetworks are investigated and we analyze which translational transformations are the best to be used in a specific situationto achieve the goal, namely to influence the audience and be conducive to manipulating consciousness for useful purposes.The article presents an analysis of the fundamental aspects of the translation of occasionalisms, their structuralgrammaticaland lexical functions. As a result of studying the term “occasionalism”, the following main methods of itsformation are distinguished: affixal method (prefix and suffixal methods), composite, conversion, reduction, inverse derivation,fusion, borrowing from other languages and abbreviation. Also the following main methods of translating occasionalisms aredistinguished: functional replacement, transcription, transliteration, descriptive translation (explication), reduction, expansionand borrowing. In addition to this, we have assumed the main translation teaching methods of occasionalisms namelycognitive and audio-visual methods.The cognitive method is aimed at forming the future translator's cognitive skills, which make it possible to determine thetype and purpose of information, to highlight its main content, to build ways of solving problems while translating these lexicalunits, to be able to form them, to have some judgments and to show creativity. The audiovisual teaching method can be usedto build and test models of translation competencies that determine the knowledge and cognitive components necessary foreffective translation work. In addition, key aspects have found their way into translator training profiles and quality standardsfor translation services. Central to the acquisition of translation competence is reflection on decisions and actions during thetranslation process, as well as various process studies.

Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the research of the problem of physical education faculty’ professional development in multidisciplinary institutions of higher education in the context of philosophy. The aim of the article is to single out the specifics of physical education faculty’ professional development in multidisciplinary institutions of higher education in the philosophical dimension. To achieve the aim of the study, the theoretical research methods were used: analysis and synthesis for processing scientific literature; generalization and systematization for processing the received data and formulating conclusions. The professional development of specialists is considered from the perspective of progressivism, existentialism, constructivism, connectivism. According to progressivism, the professional development of physical education faculty is considered through the prism of individual abilities and their development during the process of active construction of knowledge in a practice-oriented academic environment of a higher education institution. In the context of existentialism, we consider the professional development of physical education faculty as a toolkit for the development of the personality. The ideas of constructivism are extrapolated to the professional development, since the latter provides opportunities for the active construction of a knowledge system, based on the study of the peculiarities of the professional sphere, the identification of regularities in its development, organization and functioning, which allow predicting the results of professional activity. According to cognitivism professional development is a complex process that requires cognitive and emotional participation in individual and collective format, the ability and desire to find out one’s own place in terms of beliefs and principles, as well as familiarization and implementation of innovations in practice. From the perspective of connectivism, we consider the professional development of physical education faculty as many opportunities for obtaining information, processing it, distinguishing its most important elements, realizing the connections between various sources and the content of information with the aim of their further use for personal and professional growth by using modern information and communication technologies.

The article substantiates the need to study the experience of the USA in higher education management, due to the existence of some contradictions and difficulties in the reformation of higher education in Ukraine. The actuality of the given research is strengthened by the fact that in the United States in the field of medical education management, the idea of orientation of education on a person and their needs has been developed and implemented. In order to obtain a coherent picture, the author aims to identify the basic laws, peculiarities and tendencies in medical education management in the United States. By using general scientific and historical-pedagogical methods, normative documents, encyclopaedic, historical, pedagogical and methodological literature on the research problem, educational and methodological materials illustrating the experience of medical education management in the USA as well as the preconditions of the emergence and development of a modern system of management of medical education in the USA have been studied. The research has demonstrated that the peculiarity of higher education management in the United States is its decentralization. This is confirmed by the fact that the United States does not have a single national education system, but there are state educational systems, and the federal government and federal agencies play a role in the management of education in the country, but the main administrative functions are performed not by federal education bodies, but state agencies, local education authorities and professional associations. It has been established that the United States Department of Education with subordinate departments and commissions and the Accreditation Council for Higher Education with their respective accountable bodies belong to the USA government higher education administration. Within the management of medical educational institutions, certain organizations and associations, that are subordinate to the Department of Education and are involved in the establishment, implementation and updating of medical education standards, play an important role. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education is the accrediting body for medical education programs in the USA and Canada. A limited role in the accreditation of universities is also played by the American Medical College Association and the American Medical Association.
LANGUAGE DISCUSSIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE EDUCATIONAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PROCESSES OF TRANSCARPATHIA IN THE 20-30S OF THE XX-TH CENTURY

Learning the state language by representatives of national minorities of Ukraine contributes to the full realization of their constitutional rights, maximum integration into all spheres of social life, employment and competitiveness, etc. The experience of settling linguistic issues in the conditions of multiculturalism was also gradually formed in Transcarpathia, this was especially noticeable in the XX-th century, the first half of which was marked by state-territorial changes in the subordination of Transcarpathian lands to various countries, which resulted in the introduction of educational and language policies that determined the capabilities of the local population regarding the study of state and national languages. This article is devoted to the study of the influence of language discussions on educational and pedagogical processes in Transcarpathia in the 20s and 30s of the XX-th century. The methods are content analysis of historical, historical-pedagogical, archival and reference sources on the researched problem; a problem-chronological method for studying the dynamics of the influence of language discussions on educational processes and ensuring mother-tongue education in Transcarpathian educational institutions. The article examines the influence of language discussions on educational and pedagogical processes in Transcarpathia in the 20s and 30s of the XX-th century, when it was part of the Czechoslovak Republic. The Czechoslovak government implemented a democratic educational policy and established the right of Subcarpathian Rus to have independent legislative powers in matters of language and education. During this period, the number of schools with the Ruthenian language of instruction increased rapidly, which required updating the content of education, creating new textbooks, etc. An overview of the process of determining the variant of the literary language in the context of disputes between representatives of the Ruthenian, pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian trends was carried out. It was determined that the main confrontation took place between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian trends, each of which used its own grammars, created pedagogical societies and periodicals, on the pages of which it defended its views on language, education, etc. Special attention is paid to the language plebiscite of 1937, which was held at the initiative of the Czechoslovak government on the subject of choosing a variant of grammar, which should be used to organize the learning process in educational institutions of the region. The language debate was put to an end by the recognition by the Autonomous Government of Subcarpathian Rus in 1938 of the Ukrainian language as the state language, as well as the language of education and training.
