AbstractIn 1298/1881, the Iraqi scholar Nu'mān al-Alūsī published his Jalā' al-'aynayn fī muhākamat al-Ahmadayn, one of the most astute tracts to be written in defense of the fourteenth-century Hanbalī scholar, Ibn Taymiyya. This article attempts to read into the significance of Jalā' al-'aynayn by studying the life and educational environment of its author, the subject matter of the book, the format in which it appeared, and the circumstances of its publishing. There is little doubt that Jalā' al-'aynayn is a founding text in the emergence of modern Salafiyya in major Arab urban centers. Considering the contribution of the Wahhābī movement to the revival of Salafī Islam, one of the aims of this article is to look into the variant expressions of modern Salafiyya. An important aspect of the impact of Nu'mān al-Alūsī's work is related to the way he treated his subject matter, reconstituting the legacy of Ibn Taymiyya in the Muslims' imagination of their traditions. The other, was the publishing of Jalā' al-'aynayn in print. In the following decades, the ecology of Islamic culture would be transformed at a dramatic pace. But two things would not lose their value for the Salafī circles of modern Islam, the referential position of Ibn Taymiyya and the power of the printing-press.

Современное образование ориентировано на формирование нового образа мышления студентов, профессиональных компетенций в области педагогической, проектной, исследовательской и культурно-просветительской деятельности, что предполагает использование разнообразных форм и методов работы, множество образовательных сценариев. Данное содержание предъявляет определенные требования к образовательной среде. В связи с этим была предпринята попытка исследования представлений студентов о влиянии образовательной среды вуза на формирование их профессиональных компетенций, что важно при разработке образовательной политики конкретных вузов, а также в целях оценки эффективности внедрения новых образовательных практик. В качестве основных критериев исследования среды вуза рассматриваются предметно-пространственные факторы в освоении и персонализации среды вуза (организация учебного пространства, библиотечного пространства, неформального пространства взаимодействия и кооперации); эффективность интеллектуальной и творческой деятельности студентов в пространстве университета; факторы образовательной среды, влияющие на формирование профессиональных компетенций студентов и выпускников педагогических вузов. В результате исследования показано, что важным условием формирования профессиональных компетенций является профессионализм преподавателя; комфортность предметной среды вуза положительно сказывается на восприятии университетской среды, отношении к университету и деятельности, которая в нем осуществляется; студенческая вовлеченность в университетские мероприятия становится одним из мотивирующих факторов, определяющих качество и результат обучения студентов, влияющих на «вхождение» в профессию, заинтересованность в профессии, профессиональном развитии. Modern education is focused on the formation of a new way of thinking of students, of professional competencies in the field of pedagogical, project, research and cultural and educational activities, which involves the use of various forms and methods of work, a variety of educational scenarios. This content has certain requirements for the educational environment. In this regard, an attempt was made to study students’ perceptions of the impact of the educational environment of the University on the formation of their professional competencies, which is important in the development of educational policies of specific universities, as well as to assess the effectiveness of the introduction of new educational practices. As the main criteria for studying the University environment, the article considers: subject-spatial factors in the development and personalization of the University environment (organization of educational space, organization of library space, organization of informal interaction and cooperation space); the effectiveness of intellectual and creative activity of students in the University space; factors of the educational environment that affect the formation of professional competencies of students and graduates of pedagogical universities. The study shows that: an important condition of formation of professional competence is the professionalism of the teacher; the comfort of the subject environment of the University positively affects the perception of the University environment with respect to the University and the activities which it carried; student involvement in University activities is becoming one of the motivating factors that determine the quality and outcome of student learning, influencing the «entry» into the profession, interest in profession, professional development.

Levels Of Support

Existing research has consistently shown that perceptions of the potential economic consequences of Scottish independence are vital to levels of support for constitutional change. This paper attempts to investigate the mechanism by which expectations of the economic consequences of independence are formed. A hypothesised causal micro-level mechanism is tested that relates constitutional preferences to the existing skill investments of the individual. Evidence is presented that larger skill investments are associated with a greater likelihood of perceiving economic threats from independence. Additionally, greater perceived threat results in lower support for independence. The impact of uncertainty on both positive and negative economic expectations is also examined. While uncertainty has little effect on negative expectations, it significantly reduces the likelihood of those with positive expectations supporting independence. Overall, it appears that a general economy-wide threat is most significant, and it is conjectured that this stems a lack of information on macroeconomic governance credentials.

AbstractThe article presents the results of the review of the empirical literature regarding the impact of quantitative easing (QE) on emerging markets (EMs). The subject is of interest to policymakers and researchers due to the increasingly larger role of EMs in the world economy and the large-scale capital flows occurring after 2009. The review is conducted in a systematic manner and takes into consideration different methodological choices, samples and measurement issues. The paper puts the summarized results in the context of transmission channels identified in the literature. There are few distinct methodological approaches present in the literature. While there is a consensus regarding the direction of the impact of QE on EMs, its size and durability have not yet been assessed with sufficient precision. In addition, there are clear gaps in the empirical findings, not least related to relative underrepresentation of the CEE region (in particular, Poland).
