Accounting for Waqf Institutions: Business, Not-for-Profit or Hybrid Entities?
Authors: Umar Umar Habibu , Haron Md Harashid
Published: August 2021

Despite the tremendous religious and socio-economic contributions of waqf institutions to Muslim communities across the globe, there was no universal accounting standard to adopt by such institutions until 15 Rabi’II (equivalent to 30th November 2020) when the Accounting Standard for waqf institutions (FAS No. 37) was approved by the Board of Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) for adoption with effect from 01 January, 2022. Hence, the objective of this study is to analyze the nature of waqf institutions with a view to establishing whether their appropriate financial accounting and reporting practices should be for business, not-for-profit or both. The documentary research method was applied to achieve the aim of this study through a systematic analysis of relevant accounting and Shariáh standards. Findings and views of earlier studies were also used. The study reveals that though waqf institutions operate like charitable organizations, they are mandated to undertake or attach to commercial activities in order to generate income for the sustainability of their activities. This signified that they are hybrid and as such, they are supposed to report both waqf and commercial activities in their annual reports and accounts. Hence, the study calls on Islamic countries to provide regulations, guidelines and more importantly accounting standards that will compel or motivate waqf institutions to prepare annual reports and accounts showing both their charitable and commercial activities.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Svetlakova Anna V. , Tuchina Elena S. ,   Saratov State University
Published: August 2021

The progressive growth of bacterial resistance to antibiotic drugs requires the creation of highly efficient nanomaterials. Aluminum oxide is a stable non-toxic semiconductor material; however, the photocatalytic properties of its modifications in relation to microorganisms are not well understood. In this study, we used new 3D composites of aluminum oxyhydroxide (Al2O3 × nH2O) in three modifications (γ, α and θ), which are a mesh of 150 nm nanofibrils. The assessment of the photocatalytic antibacterial properties of the composites was carried out on the museum strain S. aureus 209 P. It was shown that, in combination with violet LED radiation (405 nm, 17 mW/cm2), the composites under study significantly suppress bacterial growth (from 65 to 89%), with the sample containing γ-Al2O3 showing the best result.

To assess the influence of zeolite group minerals on the migration of reservoir fluids in terrigenous deposits, complex (X-ray and gas-geochemical) studies of core material in the Yamal oil and gas region field were conducted. 54 core samples from the Pyakyakhinsky and Yuzhno-Messoyakhsky deposits were studied including 43 zeolitized and 11 non-zeolitized samples. The core samples were studied by gas chromatography to determine the content of hydrocarbons adsorbed in the pore space of the core, as well as by X-ray diffractometry to determine the mineral composition of the samples under study. The regularities of hydrocarbons distribution in the studied samples depending on the degree of their zeolization are established. The differences in the distribution of hydrocarbons in zeolitized and non-zeolitized siltstones have their own explanation. Having an ordered crystal structure and a certain size of the entrance windows zeolites are able to sorb.
Time in digital history
Authors:   Saratov State University, Artamonov Denis S.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of representation of the image of time in digital history. The author understands digital history as a scientific direction that studies the history of digital society, as well as the history of the creation and application of information and computer technologies, their impact on the history of a man and a human society within the framework of epistemic arenas. Epistemic arenas bring together human scientists, the masses of Internet users, digital technologies and media. The category of time in digital history has a social significance, since historical knowledge in the digital age is a collective creativity based on the application of technology. The author considers the concepts of time in digital history within the framework of the concept of social time, bearing in mind that the sequence of events that saturate certain periods of time can be both real and virtual. The virtualization of history provides the individual with the opportunity to “dive” into the past and creates the illusion of time management. Time in digital history can be accelerated, «explosive», or, conversely, slowed down, which is subordinate to the interests of users who create or consume historical information. Time management allows for more effective consideration and representation of historical processes and leads to the adoption of the concept of movement in it. The idea of travelling to the past and future has become a part of the historical culture of the digital society. The future is presented as the end of history, the apocalypse, which explains the increased interest of society in the past, which in digital history has the character of a known, and therefore safe, reality.
The concept of the androgyne through the prism of the philosophy of life of A. Schopenhauer and F. Nietzsche
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Ivanova Tatiana A.
Published: August 2021

The article gives coverage to the deep meanings of the concept of androgyne which are polar to each other through the prism of the philosophy of life of A. Schopenhauer and F. Nietzsche. One of these meanings, which correlates with the philosophy of Schopenhauer, is a human’s denial of his dependence on his desires and incompleteness in androgyne as a symbol of indivisible integrity. Another meaning appears as a Nietzschean overman, representing the achievement of the extreme fullness of life in the androgyne, which pours out beyond time, becoming imperishable. It is concluded that these seemingly opposite meanings complement each other and form a continuum represented by a heterogeneous understanding of the concept of androgyne in the outlook of history of philosophy, which allows one to comprehend the many-sidedness of various views on the phenomenon of androgyne in all their completeness and consistency. In this approach, the philosophy of life, despite the absence of the distinguished concept of androgyne in it, acts as a connecting link between different understandings of androgyny, which allows one to overcome contradictions and carry out their synthesis, which opens up a completely new understanding of the ideal of androgyne for a man from the perspective of striving to overcome his nature. The parallels between the concept of androgyne and Schopenhauer’s ideals are drawn for the first time in this article.
Formation of patriotism among the younger generation in the modern school environment
Authors:   Saratov State University, Kuzmina Svetlana V.
Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to the problem of returning patriotic education to the modern school system. The purpose of the research is to study the features of patriotism formation as an unshakable value in the upbringing of the younger generation. A comparative analysis of the concepts of «patriotism», «citizenship», «nationalism», «internationalism» has shown that historically the education of patriotism in children and youth intersects with the formation of citizenship, national identity, and the organization of friendly interethnic relations. The scientific novelty of the work consists in the interdisciplinary retrospective consideration of the issue involving the ideas of education of citizenship and patriotism of the individual in the team discussed by Soviet teachers A. S. Makarenko, V. A. Sukhomlinsky. The importance of collective forms of patriotic education in the school environment (conversations about citizenship, socially useful work, collective performance of folk music) is emphasized. As a result, it is determined that patriotism is reflected in the concepts of «citizenship» and «internationalism». In contrast to nationalism, patriotism does not idealize the nation, but is evaluated through the prism of «critical» conscience. The efficiency of formation of patriotism among the younger generation is determined by the initiative of the school teaching staff, including the ability of music teachers to fill the lesson of art with spiritual material of nature and a variety of multicultural music world, to organize friendly inter-ethnic relations among students during extracurricular activities.
Terra incognita of vitality problem: Open issues. Part 1
Authors:   Institute of Psychology of Russian Academy of Sciences, Tolochek Vladimir A.
Published: August 2021

The increase of uncertainty, instability, complexity, ambiguity of the dynamics of the condition of social subjects are among the issues that make vitality problem topical. This results in higher standards for adaptation mechanisms of an individual and social groups (families, work groups, sports, management, project teams) and greater importance of socio-psychological and psychological resources of a person. Not all spontaneously formed adaptation mechanisms of individual and group subjects are adequate for real-life situations, not all of them are developed when it is necessary and change when the goals and requirements of the environment change. The purpose of the study is to conduct research of human vitality under uncertainty conditions; the object of the study is: social and psychological mechanisms and human vitality resources; methods include: historical and theoretical analysis, analysis of empirical research results. Hypothesis: The first stage is maintaining the vitality of an individual and social groups via formation of prosocial mechanisms of behavior according to a model (prototype). The following development stages of vitality involve forming adaptation mechanisms initiated and supported by the evolution of the “internal conditions” of the subject. We analysed the materials related to vitality study in foreign and domestic psychology from the 1960s to the present: historically emerging approaches (five “waves”), subject and tasks, mechanisms and types of human adaptation to the physical and social environment. It is stated that, within the boundar ies of historically formed paradigms, two human states are considered – “below the norm” and “norms” of social, psychological, physical functioning, characteristics of which are described by the concepts of “improvement”, “positive adaptation”, “preservation”, “back to normal”, “optimal condition”, “achieving a good result”; vitality is viewed as the achievement and maintenance of “social homeostasis” by a person, with the focus on the prosocial behavior models of other people, who are reproducing such models. Climbing the heights of physical and spiritual maturity, reaching a higher level of social functioning, the effects of positive changes in survivors of traumatic events remain unexplored, and retain the status of terra incognita.

Introduction: Digital impression tools are an alternative to old impression materials and have developed significantly in recent years. These systems generally include two types of scanners: direct and indirect scanners. This article aimed to review and compare these two types of scanners.
Description: Data were collected by reviewing a total of forty articles on dimensional accuracy, a combination of scans, and internal and marginal gaps for comparison of direct and indirect scanners. These articles were retrieved from PubMed and Scopus and published between 2010 and 2020 using the following keywords: intraoral scanner, lab scanner, marginal gap, internal gap, and accuracy rate.
Results: Direct scanners had a lower amount of marginal and internal gaps, while indirect scanners had a lower deviation in more prepared teeth in the half and full arch due to the ability of stitching scans. Regarding the dimensional accuracy, the results of studies were inconsistent, but clinical studies pointed to the superiority of indirect scanners. The type of scanner suggested being selected depending on conditions such as the size of area, time, convenience of procedure, etc. The clinical results of both types of scanners were clinically acceptable.

The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the formation of the principles of teaching the use of information technologies needs to be laid in the learning process. The aim is to study the working conditions of a modern computer science teacher and to determine the main directions of their training. The method of analysis made it possible to identify the discrepancy between the realities of the work of a computer science teacher at school and the training system at a university. The paper shows that digitalisation of learning is determined not only by the use of certain digital products but also by the formation of a digital learning environment. The practical significance is determined by the possibilities of a structural understanding of teaching future computer science teachers when using a combination of information technologies with the need to use them in practice in a modern school.

A propósito de lo anterior, se toman como referencia los parámetros evaluados en la competencia de indagación por el Instituto Colombiano para el Fomento de la Educación Superior (ICFES), todo lo anterior, fundamentado en Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP). Así pues, el ABP desarrolla progresivamente cada una de las habilidades necesarias para el desarrollo de la competencia indagación y, además, contribuye en la formación del estudiante incrementando el trabajo colaborativo, la responsabilidad y la autoformación.

Este artículo es el resultado de la reflexión al proceso investigativo que se llevó a cabo en el trabajo de grado en la Maestría Educación Modalidad Profundización de la UPTC, el cual lleva el mismo nombre de este documento. La propuesta hace énfasis en la puesta en marcha de estrategias que permitan promover la lectura crítica en los estudiantes de grado 8° para la producción de artículos de opinión. Este estudio se enmarca dentro de un enfoque cualitativo con un diseño de Investigación Acción, utilizando instrumentos de recolección de información como la observación directa y la prueba diagnóstica para la identificación de la problemática; aspecto fundamental para determinar la temática e iniciar la búsqueda de estrategias metodológicas propuestas por autores como Isabel Solé, Daniel Cassany y Fabio Jurado. El diseño y desarrollo de la propuesta “Critico, luego escribo”, logró fortalecer la lectura crítica de los estudiantes y su vez, mejorar las habilidades escriturales, evidenciados en los artículos que fueron publicados en el boletín informativo “Última Edición”, medio informativo de la Institución Educativa. Estos textos se caracterizaron por una buena estructura, uso adecuado de la ortografía y dominio de algunas propiedades del texto en relación con la coherencia y cohesión.

Authors: Sanabria Yaruro Diego Armando
Published: August 2021

La finalidad de este artículo de investigación científica y tecnológica, es presentar los resultados de la investigación realizada en la Escuela Normal Superior Antonia Santos (ENSAS); donde las pruebas SABER 11 del año 2015, arrojaron como resultado, que el 76 % de los estudiantes obtuvieron 60 puntos o menos en lectura crítica. Para tratar de dar solución a la necesidad planteada, se buscó identificar el impacto de la aplicación de talleres, en la lectura crítica de artículos científicos, basados en las temáticas de densidad y flotabilidad en 7°. La investigación es del tipo investigación acción participativa con enfoque mixto, de tipo experimental. Se realiza un pretest como diagnóstico; luego, la intervención con la aplicación de tres talleres de lectura crítica; finalmente, se procede a analizar la evolución en comprensión lectora de los estudiantes. Los estudiantes vistos de manera grupal, alcanzaron un aumento del 8,7 % en el nivel de lectura literal; del 1,5 %, en el nivel inferencial; y del 1 %, en el nivel crítico. Por lo que, la ejecución de talleres enfocados en lectura crítica, direccionados desde el constructivismo y la pedagogía crítica, pueden ser un camino para fortalecer la competencia de lectura crítica de artículos científicos, en los estudiantes.

En el artículo se presenta el uso de las TIC en el aula, como un recurso fundamental para el estudio: del desarrollo del pensamiento geométrico de los estudiantes. En el estudio realizado, se propuso como objetivo: diseñar e implementar sesiones didácticas de Geometría, haciendo uso del software GeoGebra en busca del fortalecimiento del pensamiento espacial de los estudiantes de grado cuarto y sexto. El grupo de estudio correspondió a estudiantes inmersos en una población rural con edades que oscilaron entre 9 y 12 años de edad de dos sedes rurales y la sede central de la Institución Educativa San Luis Beltrán del municipio de Covarachía. La Como metodología se trabajó la investigación acción. En el desarrollo de la fase de diseño, se tomaron como herramientas teóricas al enfoque Ontosemiótico del conocimiento y la instrucción matemática y la Teoría de las Situaciones Didácticas para la realización del análisis didáctico de las sesiones de clase. Se emplearon instrumentos como el diario de campo, la entrevista, los testimonios y el análisis a priori y a posteriori de la unidad didáctica, en cada clase, siguiendo los procesos de idoneidad didáctica, con el fin de analizar la importancia y el impacto que ocasiona en el contexto educativo, el uso de la tecnología como herramienta didáctica para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la geometría. Entre los resultados, se pudo establecer que la estrategia didáctica correspondiente al diseño e implementación de un análisis didáctico a priori basado en los resultados arrojados en la etapa del diagnóstico: permitió tener una visión general de la clase de matemáticas y específicamente de los conocimientos previos de los estudiantes. A partir del diagnóstico y tomando como base los referentes de calidad, como: Los Lineamientos Curriculares, las Mallas Curriculares y los DBA: específicamente los procesos y competencias relacionados con el desarrollo del pensamiento espacial y los sistemas geométricos para el grado cuarto y sexto, se diseñaron e implementaron situaciones problema y secuencias didácticas que permiten fortalecer las competencias geométricas débiles, detectadas en la fase de diagnóstico. Se utilizó el programa Geogebra, como medio de interacción del estudiante para lograr el aprendizaje, según lo propuesto por la Teoría de las situaciones didácticas.
