The article is devoted to the cultural philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of an altered state of consciousness, one of the little-studied cultural philosophical and cultural anthropological studies. Using the example of the analysis of ideological theorists of Sufism in the context of Turkic-Islamic culture, the authors substantiate the idea of an altered state of consciousness as a form of ecstatic type of culture. The main purpose of this article is to consider Sufism as one of the forms of ecstatic consciousness, to analyze the main forms of achieving an altered state of consciousness in the context of Turkic-Islamic culture. The novelty of this article consists in substantiating the idea of Sufism as a form of ecstatic consciousness in the context of Turkic-Islamic culture and analyzing the forms of achieving an altered state of consciousness. The authors of the article study the main forms of the altered state of consciousness by analyzing the main provisions and concepts of the works of the Turkic classics (Al-Farabi, Yassawi, Balasagun, etc.). Ecstatic consciousness is described as a state of mind that allows you to feel the purity, sublimity, splendor of Existence as pleasure, delight, joy. These states of consciousness are defined by thinkers as a deep spiritual experience that modifies and shocks with its indescribability, causing delight, in the process of which perfect knowledge is revealed.
«FOR YOU IS YOUR RELIGION, AND FOR ME IS MY RELIGION»: LINGUISTIC, STRUCTURAL AND RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF SURAH ‘AL-KĀFIRŪN’ IN THE QUR’AN

This article analyses the 109 Surah of Qur’an (Q 109) from linguistic and religious studies points of view. The Surah «al-Kāfirūn», despite its rather short length, serves as a quite useful source for contextual analysis of the time of its formation. More-over, this passage could potentially shed some light on inter- textual connections in the whole Qur’an. Unfortunately, this Surah has never been a central focus of academic at-tention. Using communicative methods of word-by-word translations, the research re-veals the complex nature of relationships between early Islamic community and other religious groups – Jews and Christians. Considering Q 109 in its historical context, the article demonstrates how Muslims, being a minority group at that time, attempted to nego-tiate its own existence with other religious groups. The research is therefore divided into two dimensions of analysis: micro-level where intra-structure of Q 109 is analyzed and macro-level where inter-textual coherence with other Surahs is scrutinized.

Authors:   Kenzhegali Sagadiyev University of International Business, Fedorova Anastassiya
Published: June 2023

This article focuses on the problem of development of civil society in Kazakhstan in the period of contemporary global geopolitical changes and challenges. The paper investigates the specifics of civil society in post-communist nations, emphasizing that civil society was usually analyzed in the frameworks of democracy throughout the history of political thought. The study indicates several differences, which civil society can have in “young democracies” or “nations under political transit”. Furthermore, the paper traces back the history of civil society in Kazakhstan and underscores the interrelation of its development and problems it faced with changes in external environment, that is, system of international relations. The article analyzes the influence of contemporary geopolitical shift on civil society in Kazakhstan, potential changes in its components. In this investigation, the paper uses system analysis, comparative analysis, deduction and induction. The findings of the research suggest that despite huge crises and challenges, which occurred last two years, necessary preliminary conditions should exist in society to create efficient platform for vibrant civil society.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection in the rectum – our experience
Authors: Polák Dušan , Beráková Katarína , Váňa Juraj , Kalavská Andrea
Published: June 2023

Summary: Introduction: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an endoscopic treatment method for the removal of neoplastic lesions of the digestive tract. Thanks to this technique, we can achieve complete (en bloc) R0 endoscopic resection of even large lesions in one piece. We thereby obtain a valuable resection for further histopathological evaluation and, with a suitably chosen lesion, achieve a curative resection. Methods: Retrospective analysis of our file in the period 1/2020–01/2023. The primary objective was to determine how endoscopic evaluation and selection of included rectal lesions treated with the ESD technique correlates with histopathological results. The secondary objective was to determine the curability of the treatment we performed in our group of patients. We included lesions over 20 mm with the assumption of maximum invasion into the surface parts of the submucosa, i.e., JNET 2B. In addition, we included recurrent lesions in the scar after previous endoscopic or surgical treatment, submucosal lesions up to 20 mm and lesions smaller than 20 mm, especially in the lower rectum, which cannot be radically removed en bloc by loop-based techniques. Results: We included a total of 76 rectal lesions. JNET 2B lesions were 59 of them (77.6%). The most common histopathological diagnosis was high-grade dysplasia (HGD) in 35 (46%) cases. We achieved curative endoscopic resection in the majority (93.4%) of patients. Five patients (5.26%) required subsequent surgical or oncological therapy after ESD and further staging. Conclusion: The results of our work confirm the effectiveness of ESD as a therapeutic method suitable for achieving en bloc R0 resection of rectal lesions and thus their correct histopathological evaluation. However, the correct selection of patients remains crucial. Key words: endoscopic submucosa dissection – rectal lesions – curative resection

Summary: Chronic pancreatitis with repeated painful relapses is a severe multifactorial, fibroinflammatory syndrome that significantly affects the quality of life of patients, mainly in terms of pain, development of diabetes mellitus, and repeated attacks of acute pancreatitis. Autologous islet transplantation after total pancreatectomy is a potential option in selected patients with severe, recurrent painful episodes of chronic pancreatitis. In our case, we present a patient with severe recurrent chronic pancreatitis. The patient required frequent hospitalizations with repeated stenting of the pancreatic duct. After the confirmation of a genetic mutation, the members of the multidisciplinary session decided to perform a total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation. In this case, we present the first international islet cell autotransplantation of Langerhans islets in Slovakia after total pancreatectomy in a patient with chronic hereditary pancreatitis. Key words: hereditary pancreatitis – total pancreatectomy – autotransplantation of Langerhans islets

Gohar Fractional Derivative: Theory and Applications
Authors: Gohar Abdelrahman , Younes Mayada , Doma Salah
Published: June 2023

The local fractional derivatives marked the beginning of a new era in fractional calculus. Due to their that have never been observed before in the field, they are able to fill in the gaps left by the nonlocal fractional derivatives and substantially increase the field’s theoretical and applied potential. In this article, we introduce a new local fractional derivative that possesses some classical properties of the integer-order calculus, such as the product rule, the quotient rule, the linearity, and the chain rule. It meets the fractional extensions of Rolle’s theorem and the mean value theorem and has more properties beyond those of previously defined local fractional derivatives. We reveal its geometric interpretation and physical meaning. We prove that a function can be differentiable in its sense without being classically differentiable. Moreover, we apply it to solve the Riccati fractional differential equations to demonstrate that it provides more accurate results with less error in comparison with the previously defined local fractional derivatives when applied to solve fractional differential equations. The numerical results obtained in this work by our local fractional derivative are shown to be in excellent agreement with those produced by other analytical and numerical methods such as the enhanced homotopy perturbation method (EHPM), the improved Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method(IABMM), the modified homotopy perturbation method (MHPM), the Bernstein polynomial method (BPM), the fractional Taylor basis method (FTBM), and the reproducing kernel method (RKM).

A new construction approach for tiny house on wheels: POD THOWs
Authors: Yavru Tayfur Emre , Topaloğlu Gürkan , Baş Güray Yusuf , Yılmaz Semih
Published: June 2023

Although the size of the houses has increased in recent years, the number of house users is decreasing. The decrease in the number of users has brought forth the concept of tiny houses which use less materials, less energy, and produce less waste compared to large houses. There are several types of tiny houses, with tiny houses on wheels (THOWs) being the most preferred type. However, THOWs are subject to high-way rules because they are not permanent structures. Such rules limit the dimensions of THOWs, thus preventing the creation of necessary spaces in the interior. In this study, we exanimated mobile housing, revealed barriers to their use and dissemination, and proposed a system called POD-THOW, which could offer a solution to the space needs of THOWs. As a result, it was understood that POD-THOWs provide a solution to size restrictions, but they should be combined with lightweight constructions and sustainable energy sources to prove effective.
In vivo rabbit embryo production and cryopreservation review. Application to ex situ conservation and rederivation
Authors: Vicente Jose S. , Viudes-de-Castro María P. , Marco-Jiménez Francisco
Published: June 2023

The development of reproductive technologies in this species is contributing decisively to the development of rabbit farming and the preservation of genetic resources. Obtaining embryos is an essential step to both genetic diffusion and the preservation of genetic resources from genetic erosion or natural disasters. In rabbits, it is common for embryos to be recovered post-mortem after ovarian hyperstimulation with gonadotrophins, although the quality and number of embryos are variable, affecting the embryo viability and offspring rate by the donor. In vivo embryo production within a conservation programme aims not only to obtain a large number of embryos, but also that they come from a greater number of male and female origins, in order to ensure an adequate representation of the original population. This is why both the quality and quantity of embryos obtained per donor rabbit and the rate of donors with offspring after embryo cryopreservation must be considered, as well as the response of the embryos to the chemical, physical and physiological stress to which they are subjected in the rederivation process and its postnatal repercussions on those that survive. Rederived rabbits from cryopreserved and transferred embryos showed phenotypic growth changes, which calls into question the neutrality of the technique and its usefulness in those cases in which a control population is required.
Three decades of progress in artificial insemination in rabbit farming: a review

Published: June 2023

The commercial use of artificial insemination (AI) in rabbit farming is relatively recent, especially when compared to other species such as cattle or swine, in which AI has been used for more than 60 years. The large-scale use of AI in rabbit farming dates back to the late 80s. However, despite its short journey, it has not stopped evolving. Although there have been numerous changes, in this review article we aim to highlight two important milestones in optimisation of this technique: the introduction of biostimulation and the addition of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues to the seminal dose to induce ovulation. In the former case, by means of different methods of biostimulation, such as feed and light flushing and/or separation of the litter in the days prior to AI, the use of hormones to synchronise heat with the moment of AI was practically eliminated. Nowadays, the possibility of using pheromones with the same objective is under research, even to increase ovulation rate or improve semen production. Although there are pheromones on the market labelled for use in other species, in the case of rabbit the knowledge of them is limited. Nevertheless, given the verified effects that pheromones produce in other animals, expectations are high. In the latter case, after several attempts by using other methods, the technique commonly used to induce ovulation was the intramuscular administration of GnRH or its synthetic analogues. However, in recent years, it has been proven that administration of GnRH through the vagina is possible, added to the seminal dose, which offers numerous advantages regarding health, animal welfare and the workforce needed. Recently, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved this practice, so in the near future it will probably become the most widely used method. Even so, there is still room for improvement, as the dosage of GnRH needed is higher than the one administered intramuscularly. Research on this topic allows us to predict that this problem should be solved in the coming years. Other alternatives such as the β-Nerve Growth Factor need further research to become a feasible option.
Managing sexual receptivity and ovulation induction in rabbit does: evidence from recent research
Authors: Rebollar Pilar G. , Arias-Álvarez María , Lorenzo Pedro L. , García-García Rosa M.
Published: June 2023

The sexual receptivity and ovulation induction of the reproductive rabbit are key points determining their success in productive life. Adequate synchronisation of the sexual receptivity methods of inseminated rabbit does unquestionably favours fertility and prolificacy outcomes. This review aims to bring together the different methods applied in synchronising primiparous rabbits and the consequences at metabolic, endocrine and ovarian levels, as well as in the embryonic, foetal and post-natal development that our research group has studied over the years. Likewise, the latest advances regarding ovulation induction in the rabbit are described, as well as the search for alternatives to the intramuscular injection of synthetic analogues of gonadotropins and seminal plasma components that could be involved in this process. Different experiments performed with a physiological basis confirm that nerve stimulation during artificial insemination or coitus is especially important in the ovulation induction reflex in rabbit females.

Jogo Minecraft Hour of Code:
Authors: Menoncini Lucia , Schmoeller Michel Artur
Published: June 2023

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) trouxe para o currículo da Educação Básica brasileira os conceitos de Ciência da Computação por meio do Pensamento Computacional (PC), assim como aponta para uma conexão entre o PC e a disciplina de Matemática na etapa do Ensino Fundamental. O documento também fomenta que o ensino de matemática deve explorar diversas representações semióticas nessa etapa do ensino, indo ao encontro com a teoria de Raymond Duval. Olhando para esses fatos, neste trabalho buscou-se estabelecer um olhar das representações semióticas sobre o PC, por este ser um campo novo e necessitar de novas contribuições. Para isso, com base no seguinte problema de pesquisa: “Que operações semióticas podem ser exploradas no jogo Minecraft Hour of Code: Viagem Aquática?”, foi analisado o referido jogo sob a ótica da teoria das Representações Semióticas de Duval, em especial, as operações semióticas de tratamento e conversão. Concluiu-se que o jogo explora tanto tratamento e conversões (em duplo sentido) de representações em língua natural e em registro figural, sendo uma alternativa plugada para o ensino de matemática e que pode desenvolver o PC.

Published: June 2023

Introduction

It has not been experimentally proven whether hydrogen gas (H2) is absorbed into the body through the skin by hydrogen-rich hot-water bathing.

Material and methods

In this study, Hairless mini pigs, whose skin closely resembles that of humans, were bathed in hydrogen (H2)-rich hot water to assess the absorption of H2 through the skin. An H2-rich water generation line was developed to maintain a high concentration of H2 via the circulation of hot water in an 80-litre bathtub. Two hairless mini pigs (14.2 ±1.4 kg, 60 days old, 1 male and 1 female) were first placed in the H2-dissolved bath. After a washout period, one pig was bathed in an H2-dissolved bath and the other in a bath containing no H2 for 20 min. During the experiment, blood was collected from the pigs’ jugular vein, carotid artery, inferior vena cava (IVCs), and portal vein to measure the blood H2 concentration.

Results

The H2 concentration at the IVC of the pig in the H2-dissolved bath increased from 0.733 ±0.636 ppb (w/w) to 16.9 ±4.46 ppb (w/w) after 2 min, 37.2 ±13.8 ppb (w/w) after 10 min, and 45.7 ±7.73 ppb (w/w) (H2 saturation level: 3%) after 20 min. The blood H2 concentration levels of the pig in the non-H2 bath remained below the detection limit of 0.3 ppb.

Conclusions

Bathing in water with a high concentration of dissolved hydrogen was considered an effective means of supplying H2 to skin tissues and beyond.

Published: June 2023

Problem: In Canadian society, public policies guide the development and administration of social services and systems, including the public education system, the justice system, family services, social housing and income support. However, because social services are often planned and implemented in a ‘siloed’ manner, coordination and collaboration across departments, sectors and organisations is sorely lacking. Data and resource constraints may prevent services being evaluated to ensure they meet the needs of the people for whom they are intended. When the needs of individuals are not addressed, the result is poor outcomes and wasted resources across multiple areas.Our Response: In 2018, we formed the SPECTRUM Partnership in response to a recognised need for collaborative cross-sector approaches to strengthening the policies that shape social services and systems in our country. The tripartite SPECTRUM partnership comprises representatives from community organisations, government and academia, and is an entity designed to conduct social policy research and evaluation, incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives and expertise from its members. Guided by community-driven research questions and building on existing data resources, SPECTRUM seeks to address specific knowledge gaps in social programs, services and systems. New research findings are then translated into viable public policy options, in alignment with government priorities, and presented to policy-makers for consideration.Implications: In this practice-based article, we describe the key steps we took to create the SPECTRUM partnership, build our collective capacity for research and evaluation, and transform our research findings into actionable evidence to support sound public policy. We outline four of SPECTRUM’s achievements to date in the hope that the lessons we learned during the development of the partnership may serve as a guide for others aiming to optimise public policy development in a collaborative evidence-based way.
Re-imagining the research article: Social-semiotic signposts and the potential for radical co-presence in the scholarly literature
Authors: Malone Margaret
Published: June 2023

As a prestigious form of writing, the empirical research article is vital for communication, assessment and legitimisation of community-based research and practice. Yet, the research article is powerful partly because it draws upon social-semiotic conventions for the proper communication of new knowledge and practice, which are deeply and thoroughly embedded within institutions of higher education ‘dominated by technical rationality’, as Donald Schön (1995, p. 31) stressed nearly 30 years ago. This inherent tension is an important, but under scrutinised and underutilised, site of engagement for community-based research.

This article sheds light on what genre conventions are, why they are important, and how they might be used and adapted to better support the collaborative, reciprocal and justice-focused change goals of community-based research and practice. Using genre analysis and social semiotics, I undertake empirical analysis of co-authored peer reviewed research articles to reveal authors’ innovative rhetorical strategies. By uncovering the emerging shared patterns – what I call here the symbolic ‘signposts’ for communicating participatory research – I hope to strengthen them collectively. Building on these embryonic efforts, and informed by Santos’s (2018) concept of an ‘ecology of knowledges’, I propose some alternative signposts for reciprocal and non-hierarchical recognition. These social-semiotic guidelines seek to ensure that diverse ways of knowing and being are not merely accommodated within our texts, but are radically co-present.
Design and simulation of Demodulator Based BELL-202 standard for NanoSatellite Communication Sub-system
Authors: Mohamed belkacem Yasmina , Boutte Aissa
Published: June 2023

In recent years a trend of using CubeSat-class nanosatellites for commercial and scientific missions has taken the lead; this is due to the advantage of the available and low-cost products on the market without need for a large development and infrastructure investments. On our behalf, the advanced approach is to build a CubeSat platform dedicated to academic and engineering training on the different satellite subsystems, including development of a transponder based on products and software/hardware solutions accessible to the research and academic community in order to promote its use to engage in cross-team development on the basis of this platform and allowing the aggregation of a know-how.

In this context, the work presented in this paper, handles partly the problematic by a proposal of the communication system design, intended to be integrated on our platform; with a particular focus on the implementation of an FSK modulator based on the Bell 202 standard. The reported development project will include simulations, implantation and the validation tests performed to achieve our first prototype.

This article presented the case of a 17-year-old girl with Turner syndrome, hypertension, insulin resistance, and obesity. This patient has been treated with Estradiol 1.5 mg every 24 hours for two months, continued with Microgynon 1 tablet daily for four months, Lisinopril 4 mg every 24 hours, and Metformin 250 mg every 8 hours and are advised to visit the Paediatric Endocrinology Polyclinic at Dr Soetomo Hospital once per month. After six months of treatment, the patient has a regular menstrual cycle and improved metabolic measurements. This paper highlighted the importance of early detection and prompt treatment of metabolic complications in Turner syndrome patients.
On The Nature of Tachyons and The Pioneer Anomaly
Authors: Maccini Anthony
Published: June 2023

One considers tachyon repulsive force f from intergalactic space, by Takaaki Musha, as responsible for the rotation speed of galaxies, as not due to dark matter. Comparisons are made between this tachyon force f and dark energy, as an possible explanation for the pioneer anomaly, and considering the inertial effects of tachyon force f being nonlocal upon the pioneer spacecraft, arising from the vacuum zero point field ZPF, and introduce Mach’s principle as an effect of tachyon force f having an effect on the pioneer spacecraft from the future, because tachyons are regarded as travelling into the past. One considers various papers by other authors, and come to the conclusion that the reason tachyons may be undetected, as due to relativistic effects where an observer reference frame sees tachyons as ordinary particles, and that because tachyons also travel into the past, in a region of spacetime inaccessible to an co-moving observer, as why tachyons are not observed. But I also present experimental evidence of the detection of tachyons.
Computational insights into the corrosion inhibition potential of some pyridine derivatives: A DFT approach
Authors: Thakur Abhinay , Kumar Ashish
Published: June 2023

In the present investigation, the corrosion inhibition potency of five pyridine derivatives was computationally simulated and investigated by utilizing the Density Functional Theory (DFT) technique using a basis set of B3LYP/6-31++G (d,p). The predicted corrosion inhibition capacity was shown to improve in the order of 6-(trifluoromethyl) nicotinic acid > 4-(trifluoromethyl) nicotinic acid > N-methyl-4-chloropyridine-2-carboxamide > 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid > methyl 2-aminopyridine-4-carboxylate. Anticorrosion potentials were predicted using quantum chemical variables such as energy gap (∆E) i.e. HOMO-LUMO, ionization potential (I), electron affinity (A), proportion of electrons transmitted (∆N), hardness (η), softness (σ) and electronegativity (χ) of chemical species. It was often observed that the corrosion inhibiting rate improved with enhancement of EHOMO, σ, and reduced ELUMO, ∆E and η. Additionally, the electrostatic potential (ESP) mapping revealed that the heteroatoms, including the oxygen and nitrogen atoms, were the regions of anticipated electrophilic attack. This meant that atoms of oxygen and nitrogen could form bonds between the metallic substrate atoms and the investigated inhibitors. With the findings obtained, 4-methyl-2-aminopyridine-4-carboxylate showed the highest EHOMO (-0.23167 eV), softness (12.40694 eV-1) and the lowest ELUMO (-0.7047 eV), energy gap (0.1612 eV) and hardness (0.15107 eV), therefore revealed the excellent corrosion inhibiting attribution for several crucial metals and alloys, including aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, zinc, brass, copper, etc.

Hydrazine and its derivatives, as harmful substances, seriously risk the health of humans and the environment. On the basis of the admirable luminescent properties and low biological harmfulness of the biphenyl moiety, a biphenyl moiety can be combined with a naphthalene ring via the chalcone scaffold easily traced by a nucleophilic group. Therefore, biphenyl chalcones (BPCs) decorated with various naphthalene systems as fluorescent sensors for hydrazine are synthesised by Claisen-Schmidt condensation. The present work describes the comparative studies of two different protocols for the synthesis of three different BPCs. The structures of all novel BPCs were investigated by FT-IR, NMR, and HRMS spectroscopy. These BPCs show a red shift with a fluorescent peak and an enhancement in intensity with increasing solvent polarity from hexane to methanol. Methanol shows strong fluorescence emission; therefore, methanol is used as the solvent in hydrazine sensing experiments. The BPCs display fluorescent variation from yellow to blue fluorescence after binding with hydrazine. These BPCs sensors are able to identify hydrazine in a fast response rate and 5 min response time. The screening study of hydrazine in various soil samples by prepared BPCs is highly efficient. A study of the pH dependence of these probes shows excellent sensitivity in the pH range of 5 to 10.

Published: June 2023

The present study involves the synthesis of macrocyclic lactones by the esterification of unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid, undecenoic acid, and erucic acid) with unsaturated alcohols (allyl alcohol, prop-2-ene-1-ol, oleyl alcohol, and undecenol) followed by a ring closing metathesis reaction employing Grubbs' second generation catalyst (1.0-1.5 mmol). The structure of the compounds was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and ESI-Mass spectral studies. The antibacterial activity of the synthesised lactones was evaluated. The larger ring-sized lactone, namely, erucic acid lactone, exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against three bacterial cell lines, namely, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Bacillus subtilis. Undecenoic acid-based lactones exhibited excellent antibacterial activity selectively against only Staphylococcus epidermidis. The assay of macrolactones for their in vitro anticancer activity was carried out by MTT for different cancer cell lines, namely, human prostate epithelial cancer cells (ATCC HTB-81), HepG2 derived from hepatic cancer cells (ATCC HB-8065), SKOV3 derived from human ovarian cancer cells (ATCC HTB-77), MDAMB-231 derived from human breast cancer cells (ATCC HTB-26) and Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO-K1) cell lines. The molecules selectively exhibited anticancer activity against Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO-K1) cell lines. Among macrolactones, (E)-oxacyclotridec-11-en-2-one (MALUN) was more active and its activity was much higher compared to others and on par with the reference standard Mitomycin C. This was followed by (E)-oxacyclotricos-14-en-2-one (MOLER) and (E)-oxacyclononadec-10-en-2-one (MOLOH). The fatty acid-based cyclic lactones with selective antibacterial and anticancer activities can be further explored for a variety of pharmaceutical formulations.

Published: June 2023

İslâm hukukunda küllî kâideler, fıkhın ilk dönemlerinden itibaren gündemde olan bir alan olmuştur. Küllî kâideler içinde özellikle kavâid-i külliye-i kübrâ olarak düzenlenen “bir işten maksat ne ise hüküm ona göredir”, “şekk ile yakîn zâil olmaz”, “meşakkat teysîri celbeder”, “zarar izâle olunur” ve “âdet muhakkemdir” kâidelerinin ayrı bir yeri bulunmaktadır. Fıkhın bütün alanlarını kuşatan küllî kâideler, Mecelle’nin Kitâblarında farklı konularla örneklendirilmektedir. Mecelle’nin muhayyerlik konuları ile ilgili Fasıllarında da küllî kâideler yoğun bir şekilde işletilmektedir. Muhayyerlikler, akdin taraflarının akde dair rızalarının tam bir şekilde gerçekleşmesi sürecinde, akdi kurma veya feshetme arasında taraflara tanınan yetkiyi ifade etmektedir. Muhayyerlikler ile ilgili düzenlemelerin özellikle meşakkat ve zarar konularıyla doğrudan irtibatlı olduğu görülmektedir. Örfün de meşakkati giderme ve zararı önleme noktasında etkin bir rolü bulunmaktadır. Akdin tarafları arasında akitle ilgili olarak meydana gelen anlaşmazlıkların çözümünde istishâb da önemli bir yere sahiptir. Çalışmamızda Mecelle’nin muhayyerliklerle ilgili Fasılları özelinde küllî kâidelerin Mecelle’deki tezâhürleri incelenmekte, küllî kâidelerin Mecelle’nin muhayyerliklerin de içinde bulunduğu maddelerinde meselelerin çözümünde denetim mekanizması olarak işletildiği üzerinde durulmaktadır.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to describe the planning and strategies for maharah al-kalam learning in madrasahs. This objective aligns with the significant role of speaking skills in language, as language is the primary communication in all languages, including Arabic. The research was conducted using a literature review, which involved analyzing data from articles, books, and other scientific works as the primary sources of information. The data was then analyzed using a qualitative comparative approach, comparing various opinions in these sources and establishing the researcher's position among the existing viewpoints. Based on the analysis, it is evident that there is a lack of established planning for maharah al-kalam learning in madrasahs. Currently, no available plan can serve as a reference to facilitate the implementation of maharah al-kalam learning and enable students to acquire Arabic speaking skills. Based on experts' opinions, recommended strategies for maharah al-kalam learning include the jigsaw technique, small group presentations, and gallery/poster sessions. Techniques such as matching and identifying exercises, pattern drills, and dialogues can be employed. Various media, such as display boards, whiteboards, artificial wall clocks, tours, flow charts, flashcards, and reading machines, can be utilized. It is important to note that this research is limited to descriptive studies. Future researchers can further explore implementing some identified strategies to enhance maharah al-kalam learning.
