This study investigates the core concepts and views that underlie the theories of social systems as explained by four theorists. It critically assesses and analyzes the role of the higher education system within society, as well as the role of the educator within this social system as defined and articulated by Durkheim (1956), outlined and explained from a hierarchical perspective by Parsons (1951), identified as an integrative process by Bertalanffy (1968), and viewed as a web of relationships by Capra (1996). Major themes from each theorist are analyzed with respect to what role social systems play in higher education and how educators are affected by internal social subsystems and collectivities. An example is presented on how collectivities exist online and use technology to continue at a university during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Stable reproduction of resources in the labor market, as well as their  adaptation to current trends, largely depend on the awareness  of potential employees of their capabilities and prospects. Such views are formed already at the initial stages of mastering the  profession - in obtaining higher education. These representations are  an important indicator especially in the context of the  transformation of the higher education system, in particular in  connection with the updated GEF HE. In this article, the authors  consider approaches to studying the youth labor market and focus  their attention on issues of professional self-determination and  gaining experience in labor activity. Based on the focus group study,  the authors disclose the expectations and self-assessments of  students regarding their professional prospects in the labor market. Researchers identify specific features of selfassessment of  professional perspectives depending on the course of study, on the  level of professional education and other factors. As it turned out,  undergrads tend to assess the degree of their readiness to enter the  labor market rather high, but nevertheless feel undefined. According  to the students, frequent short-term internships in specific  enterprises could increase their confidence and expand the prospects  for successful employment. At the same time, students  are more focused on working in specific organizations than actually  on professional self-actualization.

After first surveying the development of academic studies of Islam within the modern Turkish higher education system, this essay provides an inventory of material that has been translated from Western languages into Turkish. It is inevitable that orientalist studies will have a place of tremendous importance in this analysis. However, approaches to the Qur'an and its exegesis which have been developed under the influence of the Western scientific and cultural world encompass a larger range of literature that includes not only the orientalist studies themselves but also the criticisms directed against these studies. Particular attention is paid to the work of Fazlur Rahman and Arab scholars influenced by Western methods, and an assessment of the various issues related to the critique of orientalist works is provided.
