Activity of Mufti Jakub Szynkiewicz (Yakub Shinkevich) during the Second World War (1939–1945)
No full textThe aim of the article is to analyze the activity of mufti Jakub Szynkiewicz (Yakub Shinkevich) during the Second World War. The author of the article shows that there is no evidence of the existence of military units consisting of Tatars (inhabiting the lands of modern Belarus), which were a part of the units of the German armed forces. However, we could find some data on the cooperation of individual Tatar representatives with Wermacht and SS, as well as their participation in political collaboration. Mufti Szynkiewicz turned out to be one of the collaborators. Szynkiewicz became the representative of all Muslims in the territories occupied by the Nazis to the east of the General Gouvernement and East Prussia. His activity was supported by such Tatar-Muslim leaders as Ali (Aleksander) Smajkiewicz, Bary Chalecki and Husejn Jakubowski. Muslim leaders appointed Tatar committees in order to select the Tatars showing loyalty towards the Nazi authorities and to organize activities to preserve national traditions and the Islamic religion. According to information taken from the data of the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus, at the end of February 1944 there were three committees: in Minsk, Kletsk and Lakhovichi. In addition, another goal of the muftiat was to establish the Tatar Youth Organisation. Mufti Szynkiewicz’s appeals addressed to the occupation authorities with a request for permission to form a Muslim youth association, received positive feedback. An agreement on this matter was reached in February 1944. The meeting at which establishing the Tatar Youth Organisation was officially announced took place in Alytus, Lituania on May 19, 1944, where the Mufti spoke with the welcome speech. Analyzing the source materials, the author of the article concludes that during World War II massive Tatar cooperation from the areas of contemporary Belarus with the German occupation authorities could not be observed, and the attempts of ideological mobilization of Tatars to collaborate, undertaken by some Muslim leaders with mufti Szynkiewicz, did not bring significant results.Brest State Technical University.

A discourse analysis of popular preacher mufti Isma'il Menk
No full textThe bachelor thesis deals with the current popular Islamic thinker Mufti Menk. Mufti Menk has millions of followers across his social media accounts that he uses as the main platforms when spreading his thoughts. He is popular mainly among young Muslims, but his influence extends to a significant number of non-Muslims as well. The aim of the thesis is to analyze Menk through the evaluation of his social and political ties, his overall attitude towards politics, and the controversies that surround him. The thesis also analyzes the topics he addresses on his social media and thus outlines the main ideas he is trying to spread among his target group and what these ideas say about him. Mufti Menk is sometimes seen as a Salafi. This is probably due to his connection to the Islamic University of Madinah, ties to other Salafis, and some of his views. Drawing upon the findings of this thesis, the author will also briefly evaluate how strong Menk's connection to Salafism is
EEG Based Brain-Machine Interface for Navigation of Robotic Device
No full textThe highly parallel neurophysiological recordings
and the increasing number of signal processing tools open up
new avenues for connecting technologies directly to neuronal
processes. As the understanding of the neuronal signals is
taking a better shape, lot more work to perform is coming up to
properly interpret and use these signals for brain-machine
interfaces. A simple brain-machine interface may be able to
reestablish the broken loop of the persons with motor
dysfunction. With time the brain-machine interfacing is
growing more complex due to the increased availability of
instruments and processes for implementation. In this work,
the author proposes a brain-machine interface model through a
few simple processes for automated navigation and control of
robotic device using the extracted features from the EEG
signals based on saccadic eye movement tasks

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa masyarakat Jawa
memaknai etika dalam bentuk budi pekerti. Konsep dasar etika Jawa adalah
kaidah hormat dan rukun. Penggambaran relief wiracarita Ramayana di Candi
Prambanan, cenderung mengikuti naskah Hikayat Seri Rama dalam sastra melayu.
Alur cerita menunjukan pengguanaan bentuk uttarakandha. Tampilan rukun yang
banyak di gambarkan dalam relief adalah perilaku rembug, lung tinulung, guyup,
gotong-royong, layat serta tepo saliro. Kaidah hormat yang paling menonjol
diwujudkan dalam tata krama duduk. Kaidah ini diajarkan melalui pituduh

diharapkan dapat membantu memelihara dan melestarikan nilai-nilai budaya
Jawa. Relief wiracarita Ramayana pada Candi Prambanan diharapkan dapat
