    Leila Almazova Teaching Religion to Children in Contemporary Tatarstan: The Case of Islam DOI: https://doi.org/10.22394/2311-3448-2018-5-2-44-62 Leila Almazova — Department of Oriental, African and Islamic Stud- ies, Institute of International Relations, History and Oriental Stud- ies, Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Russia). leila_almazova @mail.ru This article is devoted to the problem of children’s instruction on Islam in the Republic of Tatarstan. Research is based on fieldwork in several rural districts and six cities carried out in June and July 2017, as well as on the analysis of curricula, textbooks, and publications on religious educational reforms. The study shows that the main factor in how re- ligion is taught in public schools is the multiethnic and multireligious composition of the population (54 and 44 percent of Tatar and Russian populations respectively). Of the six available modules for the study of religion and ethics, only two are taught in Tatarstan — Foundations of World Religious Cultures and Foundations of Secular Ethics. The remaining four — Orthodox, Islamic, Judaic and Buddhist Cultures — although widely taught in other Russian regions — are not utilized in the state schools of Tatarstan. This lack of religious instruction in pub- lic schools determines the intensity of children’s intrareligious educa- tion. The case of Islam shows the diversity of forms of children’s reli- gious education: religion is taught in Muslim kindergartens, in special courses that operate near mosques, in summer camps, discussions and meetings with imams and Islamic clergy at schools, regular courses of Islamic ethics taught by imams at schools, and at Uthmaniya, the private general-education school founded in Kazan by the Tatarstan Muslim Religious Board.

Adigamov1,*, Rafis R. Shaikhutdinov1, Ildus H. Gimaltdinov1, Rishat R. Akhmetzyanov1, and Rafik S. Basyrov2 1Kazan State Agrarian University, 420015 Kazan, Russia 2Kazan National Research Technical University named after A.N. Tupolev, 420111 Kazan, Russia Abstract. The practice of operating machinery and equipment that are used in animal husbandry and in the processing of its products has shown low reliability of feed crushers. As of 01.01.2019, in the agricultural enterprises of the Republic of Tatarstan there are about 1200 machines for grinding feed, of which 800 pcs. are hammer crushers. Most of these crushers have a service life of 10 to 13 years and are objects with low reliability. Mostly emergency stops occur due to the destruction of the rotor bearings. In the event of a sudden failure, unplanned repairs and a decrease in production efficiency occur. At the Department of Operation and Repair of Machines of Kazan State Agrarian University, research was carried out and a scientific result was obtained, which was implemented in the adapter to the vibrometer to determine the residual life of rolling bearings. Input data for this device were obtained during operational research and further analysis of the data. 1 Introduction Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the operation of a diagnostic complex for monitoring the technical Currently, in order to increase production and product condition of bearings and determining their residual life. quality and reduce its cost, it is necessary to introduce modern technology [1].
