Roma'nın Dördüncü İmparatoru Claudius'un Biyopsikososyal Açıdan İncelenmesi
Authors: Durmaz Akyüz Ebru , Üreten Hüseyin
Published: June 2024

Roma’nın dördüncü imparatoru Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, tarihte bilinen adı ile Claudius henüz bir yaşında iken babasını kaybetmiş ve büyükannesi Livia ile annesi Antonia tarafından büyütülmüştür. Claudius doğumundan itibaren sürekli birtakım hastalıklar yaşamış olmanın yanı sıra, çocukken saray soytarıları ve kız kardeşi tarafından alay konusu olmuş, annesi Antonia tarafından da “hilkat garibesi-ucube”, “doğanın başlayıp da tamamlayamadığı insan” olarak tanımlanmıştır. Eğitimi ise yarı okur-yazar, bir zamanlar katır çobanlığı yapmış bir öğretmenin bakımına bırakılmıştır. Antik kaynaklarda ise “aptal” olarak anlatılıyordu. Hiçbir göreve uygun görülmemiş olduğu için o da eğitimine odaklanmış ve tarih kitapları yazmıştır. İmparator Caligula’nın İS 24 Ocak 41 yılında suikasta uğramasından sonra, saray praetor muhafızları tarafından imparator olarak selamlanmıştı. Kimsenin imparatorluğa uygun görmediği Claudius imparatorluğunda birçok önemli işler yapmış hatta Caligula ve Augustus’u bile geride bırakmıştı. Claudius’un doğumundan itibaren yaşadığı rahatsızlıklar modern kaynaklarda incelenmiş ve çocuk felci (poliomyelit), omurilik inflamasyonu (transvers miyelit), yeme bozukluğu (bulimia nervoza), beyin felci (doğuştan serebral palsi), ani bedensel ve ses tikleri (gilles de la tourette sendromu), mitokondriyal hastalıklar (mitokondriyal sitopati) ve kasılma bozuklukları (distoniler) gibi hastalıklar öne sürülmüştür. Olası bu hastalıkları, yaşadığı olayların bedensel ve ruhsal açıdan Claudius’un psikolojisine yansıması, bu çalışmada ayrıntılı olarak ele alınmaya çalışılmıştır. Nitekim tarihin belli bir döneminde yaşamış bu insanların, yaşanan tarihlerinden ayrı, bir insan olarak ele alınarak, o dönemde yaşadıkları şartlar, olaylar ve altında yatan nedenler bilimsel araştırmalar sonucunda; tarih, psikoloji ve ilgili tıp bilimleri, … vd. gibi birçok bilim dalının ortak olarak disiplinlerarası bir çalışma ile yürütülmesi, çalışmanın farklı bakış açıları ile değerlendirilmesi ve doğru analizinin yapılabilmesi açısından önemini belirtir.
Cryptocurrencies from a behavioural finance perspective
Authors: Makarchuk Inna , Granovska Inna , Makarchuk Ivan
Published: June 2024

In today’s world, cryptocurrencies are no longer a technological miracle for a
small group of programmers. They have become a very common investment instrument that
attracts the attention of both traditional investors (funds and traders) and those who
are not interested in classical markets and investing in general. This is especially
true for bitcoin. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of
behavioural psychology in making investment decisions in cryptocurrency markets. The
research methods included analysing historical data on cryptocurrency prices, as well as
observing investors’ reactions to important events and news related to cryptocurrencies.
In addition, behavioural analysis methods were used to understand and predict investors’
reactions to various incentives and situations in the cryptocurrency markets. The
results of the article describe the main provisions of behavioural finance, which are
necessary for an overview of the cryptocurrency market. The impact of the main topics of
behavioural finance research is also considered. It should be noted that in the absence
of a large amount of data, the study of the cryptocurrency market and the behaviour of
participants is mainly a hypothetical assessment, and the empirical aspects of the study
are copied from the behavioural finance of the classical market. Considering the
cryptocurrency market from the point of view of behavioural finance, the main points of
view of different parties were considered: both supporters of cryptocurrency and those
who consider this phenomenon to be an economic bubble in a technological wrapper. The
information reflecting the main biases of behavioural finance, which relate to both
classical markets and cryptocurrency markets, is systematised. The study of
cryptocurrencies from the point of view of behavioural finance reflects the practical
value in understanding the impact of behavioural factors on price dynamics and
investment decisions in cryptocurrency markets
Determinants of energy system resilience
Authors: LEBEDEVA Larysa , SHKUROPADSKA Diana
Published: June 2024

The importance of energy resilience for the EU countries and Ukraine in the context of geopolitical conflicts and challenges caused by Russian aggression is emphasized. The author em­pha­sizes the need to modernize energy net­works, continuous monitoring and analysis of the energy situation. The purpose of the study was to identify the factors that influence energy resilience and the state policy of energy system resilience. It is hypothesized that in times of crisis, state regulation, in particular support for diversified energy sources, construc­tion of efficient energy infrastructure, risk mana­gement systems and transparent regulatory poli­cies, play an important role in ensuring the resilience of the energy system. To achieve the aim of the research, a complex of general scientific and special methods were used such as historical and logical; analyzing factors of energy resilience, statistical aggregation and comparison are used in compiling and analyzing energy resilience indices. Based on such indicators of energy resilience as The Global Energy Vulnerability Index and The Energy Sove­reignty Index, the vulnerabilities of the energy systems of the EU and Ukraine are assessed and their path to energy independence is outlined. The analysis revealed a significant dependence of the EU countries on energy imports, which affects their self-sufficiency, while noting progress in renewable energy, particularly in Denmark, Fin­land, and Sweden. Ukraineʼs position in this ranking is quite low and comparable to European countries such as Slovakia, Poland, and Lithuania, which is a consequence of its dependence on energy imports, as well as low economic resilience and energy efficiency. Most EU countries have achie­ved their performance targets by applying holistic approaches to energy security. The factors affect­ting energy resilience are identified, inclu­ding geopolitical conflicts, availability of energy resour­ces, reliable infrastructure, moni­toring and risk management systems, energy efficient technolo­gies, and transparent regulatory policies. The author emphasizes Ukraineʼs decision to harmo­nize its energy policy with the EU principles, which provides for the update of the Energy Strategy of Ukraine to ensure resilient economic develop­ment and climate neutrality by 2050.
Neobanking regulation
Authors: KALYTA Oksana , GORDIIENKO Tetiana , ERKES Olena
Published: June 2024

A set of recommendations for regulating the activities of Ukrainian neobanks has been formu­lated, embodying a balanced approach, pro­moting European integration, while ensuring compliance with requirements and supporting their competiti­veness. The aim of the article is to extrapolate valuable foreign insights for deve­loping recommen­dations on constructing regu­latory and legal framework that will contribute to the inclusion of Ukrainian neobanks into the EUʼs financial space. The research is based on the hypothesis that the existing regu­latory gap in the organization and supervision of neobanking in the EU and Ukraine prevents Ukrainian neobanks from fully realizing their innovative and competitive potential. The research aim was accomplished thanks to the application of a wide range of general scientific and specia­lized methods, in particular a comprehensive review of scientific sources, legal, comparative, statistical performance analysis, case study, grou­ping and systematization, as well as formulation of neobanks regulation policy content. The rele­van­ce of impro­ving the regulation system of neobanks has been proven, taking into account the acceleration of the global expansion of neobanks as an alternative to the traditional banking business. The article reveals develop­ment trends and reasons for the growing popu­larity of neobanks in certain countries, as well as successful regulatory initiatives that can be adapted for implementation in Ukraine in order to overcome the challenges and threats that Ukrainian neobanks are currently facing. A parti­cular emphasis is placed on the study of the regu­latory system of neobanks in the EU countries, which is based on the principles of financial stability, consumer protection, and pre­ven­tion of financial crimes. On the basis of a comparative analysis of different approaches, successful initiatives for implementation in Ukrai­ne have been determined, which will make it possible to adapt the regulatory infrastructure of the neobanking sector to the level of best practices. Such adaptation is necessary, since the imper­fection of the current regulatory and legal framework makes it impossible to compre­hen­sively analyze and effectively control the neobanksʼ activities, which causes risk of uncer­tainty, unreli­ability of services, threats to secu­rity and compliance with international regula­tory and legal requirements. This dimini­shes trust on the part of clients and investors, thereby hindering their international compe­titiveness. To ensure the sustainable develop­ment of neobanks in Ukraine, a roadmap for the step-by-step formation of the regulatory infra­struc­ture of the neobanking sector has been developed
Frost Resistance of Silicate Bricks

Published: June 2024

The article presents the results of a research frost resistance of silicate bricks one of the Russian factories produced in different periods. The change in appearance, weight and strength of silicate bricks during alternate freezing-thawing was evaluated. It has been established that silicate bricks, can meet high frost resistance grades F150-200, in terms of appearance, while the reduction in compressive strength does not exceed 9%. Some increase in brick strength at the initial stage of testing was noted, which is probably explained by the processes of carbonization of free calcium hydroxide and high-basic calcium hydrosilicates, accompanied by their recrystallization into low-basic ones, which is confirmed by the results of differential-thermal and X-ray phase analysis. It is concluded that the frost resistance of silicate bricks is decisively influenced by the mineralogical composition of the cementitious bond. High strength and frost resistance of silicate concrete is provided by the simultaneous presence of low-basic calcium hydrosilicates and α-C2S hydrate in the composition of the new formations. The condition for the formation of such composition of neoplasms is excessive content of lime in the composition of the raw material mixture.
Introduction: Ritual Performance and Religious Identity
Authors: Pinto Paulo G. , Dumovich Liza
Published: June 2024

Tradition is a multifaceted concept and a term with contested meanings. It is usually understood as an unchanging collection of artefacts passed down from generation to generation, where continuity between past and present is expected and assumed. Scholarly studies, however, have shown that tradition is continuously produced and ‘invented’ in order to cope with the present and to imagine a possible future. The articles in this special issue explore different ways in which tradition is imagined, articulated and produced in different religious contexts, in which Islam serves as a focus for reference or contrast. They show that a specific Islamic tradition can undergo profound transformations to the point of losing its connection with Islam, both at the individual and at the social or communal levels.
Mehir (Dower), Gifts of Gold, and Intimate Economies of Marriage in Istanbul
Authors: Kalpaklıoğlu Burcu
Published: June 2024

Islamic mehir practices (dower) and other financial arrangements during a marriage reveal how marriage, gender and religion are understood and reconfigured in Istanbul today. Drawing on religious women's narratives of mehir and gifts of gold, this article examines the complex interplay between economic transactions and intimate marital relationships in Istanbul, as well as the relation between my interlocutors’ practices of mehir and wedding gifts and their sense of propriety. It suggests that women's ways of understanding and practising economic marriage transactions are ambivalently shaped by intimate entanglements of religion, nuclear family, conjugal love, secular civil law, and reputation and honour. Women uneasily navigate the ambivalences of the intimate sphere as they make decisions and engage in practices related to economic marriage transactions.

Published: June 2024

The present study aimed at investigating genotype × environment interaction and stability performance for yield component traits of sixteen aromatic rice genotypes over six kharif seasons to find agronomically stable genotypes. The analysis of variance for yield component traits revealed highly significant (p <0.01) variation among genotypes, environments and their interactions for yield traits. Based on univariate analysis of YSi and Eberhert and Russel model for grain yield genotypes, Kalabati (G5), Dudheswar (G1), Mohan Bhog (G6), Krishna Bhog (G7), Dehradun Gandeswary (G8), Ramachandra Bhog (G9), Katharibhog (G11) and Tulaipanji (G13) exhibited high mean as compare to population mean. The highest ranked and YSi score genotypes G11 and G5, were found best for the yield component traits. Based on the AMMI biplot technique, the genotypes G13, G2 (Lal Badsha Bhog), and G7 were most appropriate in the entire environment (season), while the GGE biplot indicated that G5 was the most suitable for grain yield

Multilocation evaluation facilitates the quantification of genotype-environment interaction (GEI) and the identification of high-yielding, stable hybrids along with partitioning the evaluating location into mega environments. Testing of 24 single cross hybrids and four checks across three environments revealed the significant GEI for all the studied traits. The environment contributed 12.90, 57.10, and 17.59% of the total variation for grain yield, anthesis silking interval, and days to maturity. The study indicated a negative genotypic correlation among grain yield and anthesis silking interval (-0.2244); days to maturity and anthesis silking interval (-0.019), whereas the positive correlation between grain yield and days to maturity (0.067). Location Sabour was found as the most representative environment for testing commonly adapted hybrids. Location Begusarai and Dholi are discriminatory and non-representative environments suitable for selecting location-specific genotypes. Both GGE biplot and AMMI analysis revealed that three hybrids, viz., IMHSB1, IMHSB20, and IMHSB13 were high-yielding with average stability. The identification of superior and stable maize hybrids may contribute to farmers’ income in Bihar.

Published: June 2024

Terrorism is taking on more and more varied forms, acts, and networks as a result of changes in worldwide, so that international organizations and civil society play a significant role in the battle against terrorism. Counterterrorism includes law enforcement, deradicalization efforts, and threat detection all done concurrently and collaboratively. As international organizations, the UN and Interpol prepared the legal framework, offered technical assistance, and supported the worldwide response. It is advised to use technology, cooperate across sectors, and reinforce deradicalization and preventative methods in order to maximize effectiveness. Global organizations must strengthen cross-border reactions and policy coordination in order to stop radicalization and boost civil society participation in educational initiatives. The role of financial institutions in preventing the funding of terrorism must also be considered. Governments and security agencies at both the national and international levels must enhance cyber security, keep an eye out for online content that encourages terrorism, and invest in the development of detection and monitoring technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), which functions as a virtual police force.

How Heroes Are Made. Erich Kästner's The handstand on the Loreley
Authors:   Universitatea Lucian Blaga din Sibiu, Galter Sunhild
Published: June 2024

Erich Kästner's poem Der Handstand auf der Loreley is an intertextual reference to the well-known Romantic ballad Loreley by Heinrich Heine. There are also intertextual links to other works of German literature. Kästner wrote the poem shortly before the Nazis came to power in Germany, as he had recognized the signs of the times: the latent rearmament, but above all the propagandistically prepared, ever more explicitly expressed cult of the hero. The heroization of even the most banal things or people in everyday life was a part of National Socialist propaganda. Kästner wanted to expose this process with his text, but it was already too late.

Towards a semantic blockchain: A behaviouristic approach to modelling Ethereum
Authors: Bella Giampaolo , Cantone Domenico , Nicolosi Asmundo Marianna , Santamaria Daniele Francesco
Published: June 2024

Decentralised ledgers are gaining momentum following the interest of industries and people in smart contracts. Major attention is paid to blockchain applications intended for trading assets that exploit digital cryptographic certificates called tokens. Particularly relevant tokens are the non-fungible tokens (NFTs), namely, unique and non-replicable tokens used to represent the cryptographic counterpart of assets ranging from pieces of art through to licenses and certifications. A relevant consequence of the hard-coded nature of blockchains is the hardness of probing, in particular when advanced searchers involving the capabilities of the smart contracts or the assets digitised by NFTs are required. For this purpose, a formal representation for the operational semantics of smart contracts and of tokens has become particularly urgent, especially in economy and finance, where blockchains become increasingly relevant. Hence, we feel the need to tailor Semantic Web technologies to achieve that semantic representation at least for NFTS.

This article reports on an ontology that leverages the Ontology for Agents, Systems, and Integration of Services (“OASIS”) towards the semantic representation of smart contracts responsible for managing ERC721-compliant NFTs and running on the Ethereum blockchain. Called Ether-OASIS, the proposed ontology adopts OASIS and tailors its behaviouristic approach to the Ethereum blockchain by conceiving smart contracts as agents running on the blockchain and, consequently, smart contract interactions as agent commitments. Smart contracts are represented in terms of their actions, purposes and tokens that they manage, thus realising a blockchain that is more usable both by users and automated applications. The ontology is evaluated using standard ontological metrics and applied on a case study concerning the minting and transferring of NFTs that digitise batches of wheat.
Spanish academic libraries’ perceptions of Open Science. Drivers and barriers, level of knowledge and training
Authors: Santos-Hermosa Gema , Boté-Vericad Juan-José
Published: June 2024

This paper reports on the perceptions of Spanish academic libraries regarding Open Science (OS). OS is irrupting into academia and academic librarians need to support researchers. On the other side, researchers need to be ready to change their scientific behaviour in relation to publications and research data. We conducted a focus group with 8 academic librarians. We also sent a survey to (N= 67) academic libraries, obtaining a response rate of 71.6%. In the survey, we asked for drivers and constraints for OS services as well as for any training taking place. Our results show that facilitators are the system relationships (SD = 4.74) and internal promotion of systems relationships (SD = 4.54). In relation to the level of knowledge of OS, both researchers (SD = 3.27) and librarians have a high level in terms of the OA area (SD = 4.15) but little development of the rest of the components of OS. On the other hand, in relation to training librarians, results indicated that OA (SD = 4.79), Open Data (SD = 4.79) and new evaluation models (SD = 4.79) should be part of the training for researchers. The results of the focus group reinforce some of the indicators mentioned. We conclude that academic libraries may train researchers in OS through the acquisition of new skills and trainers-training and with the strategic support of the university. We argue that academic incentives and a change in research accreditation are also needed to shift researchers’ perceptions in relation to OS.

Background: Amnestic syndrome of the hippocampal type (ASHT) in Memory Clinics is a presentation common to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, ASHT can be found in other neurodegenerative disorders. Objective: To compare brain morphometry including hippocampal volumes between amnestic older adults with and without AD pathology and investigate their relationship with memory performance and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers. Methods: Brain morphometry of 92 consecutive patients (72.5±6.8 years old; 39% female) with Free and Cued Selective Recall Reminding Test (FCSRT) total recall < 40/48 was assessed with an automated algorithm and compared between AD and non-AD patients, as defined by CSF biomarkers. Results: AD and non-AD patients presented comparable brain morphology. Total recall was associated to hippocampal volume irrespectively from AD pathology. Conclusions: Brain morphometry, including hippocampal volumes, is similar between AD and non-AD older adults with ASHT evaluated in a Memory Clinic, underlying the importance of using molecular biomarkers for the diagnosis of AD.

Because of the complex and frequent multi-operation conditions of pumped storage machine and the difficulty of its numerical analysis, an optimized network parameter method (ONPM) is given to identify the second harmonic electromagnetic torque of large salient-pole generators. Different from the former research which only considers the positive and negative sequence components, the second harmonic electromagnetic torque of pumped storage machine under power generation state is identified in neutral point grounded system, which are displayed by the lumped parameters. Then, in order to test the validity of the theoretical analysis among power generation salient-pole generators, the finite element model of 300 MVA pumped storage machine under power generation is established. Through the comparison and analysis of the finite element result data with the actual experimental data in the steady state of no-load test and short-circuit test, the correctness of the finite element model is completely verified. Finally, in the case of small current asymmetry and large current asymmetry, the second harmonic electromagnetic torques obtained by ONPM and finite element method (FEM) are found respectively, and their relative errors are elaborately displayed. The results display that ONPM can accurately identify the electromagnetic torque parameters which indicate the specific operation and fault state of pumped storage machine under power generation state. This fault parameter identification has practical significance for monitoring and improving the operation state and stability of large salient-pole generator.
Self-controlled risk interval study of rotavirus vaccine safety: Findings and implications
Authors: Puliyel Jacob , Hooker Brian S.
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND:

The self-controlled case series (SCCS) is often used to monitor vaccine safety. The evaluation of intussusception after the rotavirus vaccine is complicated because the baseline rate varies with age. Time-varying baseline risk adjustments with data from unexposed cohorts are utilised. Self-controlled risk interval (SCRI), with a shorter observation period, can also mitigate the problem by studying a control period close to the risk period.

OBJECTIVE:

An Indian rotavirus vaccine has previously been studied using SCCS. The risk of intussusception in the high-risk windows (21 days after vaccination) was comparable to the background risk. The aim was to re-analyse data of an existing SCCS study using alternate statistical methods to examine vaccine safety.

METHODS:

We examined the mean age of intussusception in the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. We performed an SCRI analysis of the surveillance data from the SCCS study, limiting the observation period to 180 days. We analysed the time-to-intussusception from the last vaccination. Finally, we performed an SCCS analysis, excluding unvaccinated cases from the analysis.

RESULTS:

We found that the mean age of intussusception was significantly lower in the vaccinated (205 days) compared to the unvaccinated (223 days) ( p-value 0.0026). The Incident Risk Ratio (IRR) on SCRI analysis was 1.62 (95% CI 1.07-2.44). There were significantly more intussusceptions in the first 30 days after vaccination compared to the next 30-day window. (92 vs 63 p-value = 0.009). We found that excluding unvaccinated infants from the SCCS analysis demonstrated significantly increased risk for the risk period 1–21 days after the 3rd dose (IRR 2.47, 95% CI 1.70-3.59). The risks of intussusception were missed in traditional SCCS analysis using unvaccinated infants as controls.

CONCLUSION:

Traditional risk adjustments using data from unexposed cohorts in SCCS may not be appropriate for investigating the risk of intussusception where vaccination lowers the mean age of intussusception.
Does SLT combined with NIBS enhance naming recovery in post-stroke aphasia? A meta-analysis and systematic review

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive brain stimulation has been widely used as an adjunctive treatment for aphasia following stroke. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of non-invasive brain stimulation as an adjunctive treatment on naming function in aphasia following stroke. METHODS: This review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 5 databases (Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, OVID and PubMed) that investigated the effects of electrical stimulation on stroke patients. The search included literature published up to November 2023. RESULTS: We identified 18 studies, and the standardized mean differences (SMDs) showed that the effect sizes of TMS and tDCS were small to medium. Moreover, the treatment effects persisted over time, indicating long-term efficacy. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that NIBS combined with speech and language therapy can effectively promote the recovery of naming function in patients with post-stroke aphasia (PSA) and that the effects are long lasting.
من بلاغة القرآن في استعمال الضمائر "دراسة دلالية"
Authors: Kaddum Mahmud
Published: June 2024

تنطلِقُ هذه الدِّراسةُ من القناعةِ بأنَّ القرآن الكريم كتابٌ معجز في لغته وأسلوبه وأنَّ التَّحليلَ اللُّغويَّ والبلاغيَّ للخطاب القرآنيِّ أحدُ أهمِّ المناهج التي تُبيِّن مفاهيمَ القرآن، وتفُكُّ الكثيرَ من أسراره، وتكشف جماليَّاته، وتعمل على الرَّبط بين قضاياه وموضوعاته، وتُعَدُّ قضيَّةُ التَّوحيد ومعرفة الله وأسمائه وصفاته إحدى أهمِّ القضايا التي اعتنى بها الخطابُ القرآنيُّ في تبيينها وإثباتها وإقناع المتلقين بها. تقوم هذه الدِّراسةُ بتحليل بلاغة الأسلوب القرآنيِّ في الحديث عن اسم الجلالة وما يتعلَّق به من مسألة الألوهيَّة والتَّوحيد من خلال توظيف الأسلوب القرآنيِّ للضَّمائر مع لفظ الجلالة الله معتمدة في ذلك على المناهج الألسنيَّة التي تهتمُّ بالتحليلات اللغويَّة والوقوف على دلالتها، وقد جاءت الدِّراسةُ في مقدِّمةٍ وسبعة مباحث، على النحو الآتي: ضمير المتكلِّم المفرد (أنا) محلّ لفظ الجلالة مبتدأ، ضمير المتكلِّم الجمع (نحن) محلّ لفظ الجلالة مبتدأ، ضمير المخاطب (أنت) محل لفظ الجلالة مبتدأ، ضمير الغائب (هو) محل لفظ الجلالة مبتدأ والخبر(اسم)، ضمير الغائب (هو) محل لفظ الجلالة مبتدأ والخبر(الذي)، ضمير الغائب (هو) في محل لفظ الجلالة مبتدأ والخبر(جملة فعليَّة)، ضمير الغائب (هو) محل لفظ الجلالة مبتدأ محذوف. وقد توصَّلت الدراسة إلى بعض النتائج، منها ما يأتي:
-دقَّة القرآن في استعماله مفرداته، فكلُّ لفظٍ فيه جاء مكانه الذي لايؤدِّيه غيرُهُ أفضل منه، وهذا وضح جليًّا من دقَّة استعمال القرآن للضمائر البارزة المنفصلة محل لفظ الجلالة (الله)، وهو ما يؤكِّد أنَّ الإعجاز القرآنيَّ في المعاني والألفاظ، إذ لو كان في المعاني فقط، لاهتمَّ الخطاب بالمعنى دون ذلك الاعتناء والدقَّة والبلاغة الشديدة في اللفظ.
-أكثرَ الخطاب القرآني في حديثه عن الله وتأكيد وحدانيَّته وألوهيَّته من استعمال الضمائر مع لفظ الله، وقد نوَّع في ذلك الاستعمال، ولم يقف عند ضميرٍ واحد.
-تنوَّعت الضمائر في بعض الآيات محدثة ما يسمى بالالتفات الذي يحرك الذهن ويثير الانتباه.
-اختلفت دلالات الضمائر باختلاف المخاطَب والسياق الذي ورد الضمير فيه.
-تبيَّن من الدراسة أنَّ السياقَ يُمثِّل القضيَّةَ الأولى في تحليل وفهم الخطاب القرآنيِّ، وأنَّ أيَّ تحليلٍ خارجَ السِّياقِ الخطابيِّ للقرآن لا يُقَدِّم شيئاً يُعْتَدُّ به.

Robert Irwin’in kaleme aldığı on bölümden bir araya getirilen bu kitap, Edward Said’in Oryantalizm kitabına bir reddiye niteliği taşır; fakat bu kitabın Said karşıtı yazılan eleştiri kitaplarından ayıran önemli bir tarafı var. Irwin, bu çalışmasında oryantalizmi öncelikle bilimsel bir disiplin olarak betimler ve onu tarihsel gelişimi içerisinde inceler. Kritiği yapılan bu kitap, oryantalizmi akıcı bir dil ve katı akademik üsluptan kurtararak ele alır. Bu bağlamda İngiliz, Fransız, Alman, Hollandalı ve Rus oryantalistlerin çalışmalarına odaklanır ve oryantalistlerin farklı metodolojilerini disiplinler-arası bakış açısıyla mukayese eder. Irwin bu çalışmasında bu Said’in tezlerinin aksine oryantalistlerin metin üretiminde siyaset ya da ideolojinin etkili olmadığını; aksine kitabın başlığının vurgusundan da anlaşılacağı gibi ortak bilim arayışlarının etkili olduğunu iddia eder. Dokuzuncu ve onuncu bölümleri Said tartışmalarına ayıran yazar, burada kapsamlı bir eleştiriye girişir ve kendine özgü farklı üslubuyla onlarca Said reddiyeleri olmasına rağmen kitabı akıcı kolay okunabilir bir düzeye çekmeyi başarır. Bu yazı, Irwin’in çalışmasını hem içerik hem de yöntem olarak tahlil etmeyi amaçlar.
