Published: October 2023

The functionality of coronary bypass grafts after surgical myocardial revascularization in patients with coronary heart disease directly depends on the state of the target coronary arteries. In the presence of widespread and diff use atherosclerotic lesions or microcirculatory dysfunctions, a high frequency of coronary bypass dysfunctions is noted in the near future. In some cases, shunt dysfunction can lead to severe hemodynamic instability, accompanied by acute circulatory disorders.

Aim: To assess the function of coronary bypass grafts during myocardial revascularization using the method of ultrasonic flowmetry in patients with and without a history of multiple percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).

Material and methods. The retrospective study included 47 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. A total of 145 coronary bypass grafts were performed. All patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 (PCI group) included patients after multiple previous PCI (n = 25; 74 coronary bypass grafts), group 2 (without PCI) included patients without previous PCI (n = 22; 71 coronary bypass grafts). All patients underwent intraoperative ultrasonic flowmetry of coronary bypass grafts using the VeriQ system (Medistim, Norway).

Results. When analyzing the status of coronary bypass grafts in patients after multiple PCI, a significantly low mean volumetric blood flow rate was noted (29.5 ± 8.3 ml/min and 48.2 ± 11.6 ml/min, respectively, p = 0.0001) and lower diastolic filling (55.2 ± 8.2% and 71.9 ± 7.1%, p = 0.0001). Also in the group of patients after multiple PCI, there were 2 (2.7%) cases of revision of the distal anastomosis due to a high pulsatile index and low volumetric blood flow velocity. However, no such events were noted in the group without PCI.

Conclusions. Previous percutaneous coronary interventions are compromising factors for the state of the coronary bed, which reduces the functional status of coronary bypass grafts and may increase the perioperative risk of surgical myocardial revascularization.

Aim: To assess the change in the left ventricular (LV) diastolic function (DF) in patients with resistant hypertension (RHTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) during 6-month follow-up after renal denervation (RDN) according to echocardiography in conjunction with changes in hemodynamic parameters.

Material and Methods. A single center prospective interventional study with renal denervation included 30 patients with RHTN and T2DM. All patients underwent measurement of office and 24-hour blood pressure (BP), echocardiography according to the standard method with an assessment of LV DF.

Results. At 6 months after RDN, a significant antihypertensive effect was noted (p < 0.05), as well as an improvement in LV DF in the form of a decrease in E/e` by 1 c.u. was observed in 50% (15) patients. A significant decrease in the average E/e` was documented (–1.3 [95% CI –2.55; –0.08], р = 0.038). There were no changes in the indexed volumes of the left atrium (р = 0.940). The baseline values of E/e` had correlation with the level of mean pulse BP 24h (r = 0.51, р = 0.001) in the absence of significant relationships with other ABPM parameters. A decrease in systolic BP 24h by 3 mm Hg and an increase in nocturnal systolic BP fall by 1.6% were accompanied by a decrease in the average E/e` by 1 unit. According to the ROC-analysis, baseline level of nocturnal systolic BP fall 5.5% or less associated with a decrease in the E/e` ratio by more than 1 unit.

Conclusion. Renal denervation in patients with RHTN and T2DM is accompanied by a favorable effect on LV diastolic function during 6-month follow-up, closely related to the hemodynamic effects of the procedure such as a decrease in systolic and pulse BP 24h, as well as improvement in the circadian rhythm of BP.

Introduction. Protozoal intestinal infections are quite common in the modern world. They cause severe clinical manifestations, and in some cases, more often, in countries with a hot climate, lead to death. This is due to the ability of the pathogen to enter the human body through water, fecal-oral or alimentary routes. In this regard, the development of a new safe and effective enterosorbent for protozoal diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract is relevant.

Aim: To study the effectiveness of the combined enterosorbent based on hydroxyapatite and compare the effectiveness of its use with colloidal silicon dioxide (Polysorb) in relation to protozoa (eimeria) in an experiment on rabbits.

Material and Methods. The development of a combined enterosorbent based on calcium hydroxyapatite and experimental treatment of laboratory animals (rabbits - 40 animals) infected with protozoal disease - eimeriosis was carried out. Four groups were formed: healthy control, infected control, infected experimental group, infected comparison group (comparison drug – Polysorb). The therapy was carried out for 5 days. The drugs were administered orally.

Results. It is shown that the use of a combined enterosorbent based on calcium hydroxyapatite in a daily dose of 0.05 g per 1 kg of body weight led to a decrease in the intensity of invasion of the gastrointestinal tract of rabbits by oocysts by 80% compared with the control, and the use of colloidal silicon dioxide in a daily dose of 0.1-0.2 g per 1 kg of body weight by 49% compared with control.

Conclusion. The combined preparation based on calcium hydroxyapatite effectively reduces the intensity of invasion by oocysts of the gastrointestinal tract of rabbits in the experiment. Its intensity efficiency exceeds the intensity of colloidal silicon dioxide by 31%.

Introduction. Early assessment of the effect of targeted therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and a mutation in the EGFR gene is important for the timely correction of antitumor therapy.

Aim: To study the possibilities of combined positron emission and computed tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (PET/ CT with 18F-FDG) using the RECIST 1.1 and PERCIST 1.0 criteria. In a comparative assessment of the effect of various targeted therapy options in patients with NSCLC and a mutation in the EGFR gene.

Material and Methods. The study included 86 patients with stage II-IV NSCLC, including 56 patients with a mutation in the EGFR gene. Of these, 32 patients received targeted monotherapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) – gefitinib or erlotinib and 24 patients received combination therapy (TKI + bevacizumab). The control group consisted of 30 patients who received platinum-containing chemotherapy drugs in combination with bevacizumab. The effect of antitumor therapy was evaluated using the combined PET method/CT with 18F-FDG using RECIST 1.1 and PERCIST 1.0 criteria. The results of the study were compared before the start of treatment and after 4-6 weeks of treatment.

Results. In the repeated study of PET/CT with 18F-FDG, a partial positive response to the treatment of both tumor foci and affected regional lymph nodes according to the metabolic criteria PERCIST 1.0. was observed 1.3–1.8 times more often than when using the anatomical criteria RECIST 1.1. (p = 0,049). The frequency of а positive response to treatment in patients receiving targeted monotherapy was quite comparable to that in patients in the control group (43.7 and 40.0%, respectively). Based on 18F-FDG repeat PET/CT and PERCIST 1.0 metabolic criteria in patients receiving combined targeted therapy, a partial positive effect of treatment (58.3%) was observed 1.4 times more often, and disease progression was 4 times less common than in the subgroup of targeted monotherapy and in the control group (p = 0,043).

Conclusions. Possibilities of early assessment of the effect of antitumor therapy using PET/CT with 18F-FDG increase when using the metabolic criteria PERCIST 1.0 – more sensitive than the anatomical criteria RECIST 1.1. According to PET/CT with 18F-FDG in patients with NSCLC and a mutation in the EGFR gene, the effect of combined therapy of TKI in combination with bevacizumab significantly exceeds not only the result of targeted monotherapy, but also the effect of chemotherapeutic treatment of patients in the control group.

Aim: To study the relationship of microcirculatory changes in coronary bed and electrocardiographic and laboratory signs of damage to myocardium in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods. The observational study included patients with newly emerged AMI. Depending on the ECG changes, the patients were divided into two groups: 1) with ST segment elevation (n = 75) (STEMI) and 2) without ST segment elevation (n = 44) (NSTEMI). All patients underwent electrocardiography, analysis of biochemical markers of myocardial damage, dynamic single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and myocardial perfusion imaging.

Results. The study included 119 patients (age 62.5 ± 10.4 years, 63% men). STEMI patients had heavier perfusion defects at rest, 5.00 (3.00;9.00) and 0.00 (0.00;1.00), and after pharmacological stress test, 7.00 (5.00;13.00) and 2.50 (0.00;5.00), also they had more reduced stress myocardial blood flow (MBF), 1.09 (0.83;1.59) and 1.67 (1.36;2.46) ml/min/g, flow difference (FD), 0.36 (0.01;0.72) and 1.14 (0.63;1.72) ml/min/g, and myocardial flow reserve (MFR), 1.78 (1.11;2.19) and 2.57 (2.13;3.31), according to compared to NSTEMI patients. Correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between stress MBF and CPK after 24 hours and 4 days: r = –0.34 and r = = –0.31, troponin I upon admission and after 24 hours – r = –0.4 and r = –0.3; MFR and FD and troponin I upon admission – r = –0.41 and r = –0.41.

Conclusion. Quantitative parameters of myocardial perfusion determined by early dynamic myocardial SPECT are associated with electrocardiographic changes and biochemical markers of myocardial damage and allow an adequate assessment of the severity of the disease in patients with AMI.

Published: October 2023

Aim: To determine the possibility of identifying patients with significant coronary artery disease (CAD) by evaluation of the global left ventricular (LV) myocardial work indicators by constructing pressure-strain loops during exercise stress echocardiography.

Material and Methods. The study included 136 patients aged 36 to 84 years, of which 97 (71%) men, with suspected or previously confirmed CAD, who underwent stress echocardiography on the treadmill according to the Bruce protocol. LV myocardial work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW) and global myocardial work efficiency (GWE) were evaluated using the technique of constructing pressure-strain loops at rest and at peak exercise. All patients underwent selective coronary angiography, according to the results of which they were divided into 3 groups: 51 patients without coronary artery lesions – the control group, 57 patients with single-vessel CAD and 28 patients with multi-vessel CAD. Significant lesion was defined as ≥ 70% artery luminal narrowing. All tests were two-sided and P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results. Compared with the control group, patients with single-vessel CAD at rest had significantly less GWE and more GWW. In these patients GWI, GCW and GWE at peak exercise were significantly lower, and GWW was significantly higher. In patients with multi-vessel CAD, all global LV myocardial work indicators significantly differed from the control group both at rest and at peak exercise. The optimal cutoff value of GWI at peak exercise to predict significant CAD was 2553 mmHg% with a sensitivity of 62% and a specificity of 95% (AUC 0.79 ± 0.05, p < 0.001).

Conclusions. The evaluation of global LV myocardial work indicators by constructing pressure-strain loops can be used in exercise stress echocardiography to improve the selection of patients requiring coronary intervention.

Published: October 2023

Digital technologies have brought a new performance momentum in all industries and businesses wherever it has been fully adopted from manufacturing to healthcare and to climate change monitoring. In construction, the digital transformation has been limited to design phases while missing the operations part. It becomes crucial for the world's largest ecosystem to accelerate this digitalization at full scale. In infrastructure projects, digitalization is introduced to the operational level as a ready-made tool that lacks flexibility. This paper describes the barriers to the digital transition in construction operations, combined with the emerging impact of the COVID-19 pandemic from planning and progress monitoring aspects. Adoption of lean construction implementation in infrastructure projects in the State of Qatar, requires adoption for digital tools for data collection, verification, and analysis. This process is continuously improved at the project level to deliver a digital tool that is tailored to the infrastructure projects. This paper describes the initial steps for digital transformation in infrastructure projects in-line with a digital maturity growth.
Investigating the Barriers Involved in the Sustainable Implementation of LC and BIM Approaches in Qatar’s Construction Industry
Authors: Memon Faheem
Published: October 2023

The construction industry has never been as open to welcoming new ideas and strategies from other industries as it is now. Excessive waste in the three pillars of the construction industry, time, cost, and quality, led to adopting certain concepts tried and proven to work successfully in other sectors. Lean is one of such ideas that made its way to the construction industry after years of success in the manufacturing sector. Building Information Modelling (BIM), on the other hand, has been around for quite a while in the construction industry. Imagine how amazing it would be for the construction professionals and designers to live in what is yet to be constructed. BIM made it possible to foresee the future of the project. The question is not how successful these two strategies are, as this has already been proven through numerous studies, but how sustainable would that project be if both Lean and BIM are used concurrently. Qatar construction industry has embraced Lean and BIM concepts and Sustainability measures on its own, owing to a multitude of external and internal factors. Through a mixed-method approach of research strategy, an in-depth review of the literature helped explore the synergies between Lean Construction, BIM and Sustainability. However, the survey questionnaire and interviews led to identifying the two main barriers to implying Lean and BIM in Qatar's construction industry, "Culture and Attitude" and "Commitment & Support from Top Management". The survey results also indicated the interaction of Lean, BIM and Sustainability at different project stages and helped identify misunderstandings about Sustainability among the industry professionals. The proposed performance measurement strategy also received an overwhelming response.

Kültür; ortak değerlere sahip, topluluk hâlinde yaşayan bir grup insanı en özelde niteleyen bir kavram olarak tanımlanabilir. Kültür, bünyesine toplumun yaşam standartlarının tümünü alabilmekle birlikte yine o toplumun ortak yaratılarını yansıtabilen bir olgudur. Söz konusu yaratılardan biri edebî ürünlerdir ve halk hikâyeleri bu ürünlerin kültürü en iyi yansıtan parçalarından biridir. Geçmişten günümüze Türk kültür zincirinin anlatmaya bağlı halkası olan Türk Halk Hikâyeleri, Türk edebiyatı için şüphesiz kıymetli bir hazinedir. Türk kültüründe hikâyeler; bulundukları döneme ışık tutan, zamana meydan okuyan önemli folklorik malzemelerdendir. İcracıların genetik kültürel kodlarını çözümlemek, toplumun geleneğini ve edebî yönden hayata bakış açısını anlamak bakımından halk hikâyeleri ve efsaneleri önemlidir. İslamiyet öncesinden başlayıp kök salan anonim halk anlatıları İslamiyet’e geçişle beraber gerçekte yaşayıp yaşamadığına bakılmaksızın anlatıcı imzalı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Âşıklık geleneğinde ata mirası olan Âşık tarzı Halk Hikâyeciliği eski formunu koruyamamış olsa da çağı yakalamaya çalışan ve hâlâ var olma çabasını kaybetmeyen özünde bir gelenektir. Bu makalede de gösterilen çabanın bir uzantısı olarak, yaşayan âşıklardan Âşık Yakup Temeli’nin hayatı ve sanatı ışığında icra ettiği hikâyelerden biri olan “Yusuf ile Elif” hikâyesi, içerik bağlamında birçok edebi tahlile tabi tutulmak üzere incelenmiştir. Literatür tarama ve eser inceleme yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı araştırmanın amacı, kadim geleneğin temsilcilerini manevi bağlamda yaşatmak ve geleneği gelecek nesillere anlatabilmek ve aktarabilmektir.

Araştırmanın amacı, gelecek kaygısı ve dindarlık arasındaki ilişki ve etkileşimleri tespit etmektir. Üniversite öğrencilerinin gelecek kaygısı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Öğrencilerin kaygı düzeylerindeki bu artış, özellikle Covid 19 salgını ile birlikte daha da çok gözlenmektedir. Zira aileden ayrı kalma, sürecin belirsizliği, bulaşıcılık ve artan ders yükü gibi nedenler onların gelecek kaygısı düzeyini yükseltmektedir. Öğrenciler tüm bu etkenlerle mücadele ederken onların böylesi durumlarla başa çıkmalarını destekleyecek dindarlıkla ilgili hususlardan da beslenmektedirler. Bu sebeple onların psikolojik durumlarını besleyen dindarlık eğilimini incelemek önem kazanmaktadır. Bu araştırma, ilişkisel tarama modeline dayalı olarak oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmada öncelikle bazı demografik değişkenler ile gelecek kaygısı ve dindarlık arasındaki ilişkiye bakılmış, daha sonra ise dindarlık ve gelecek kaygısı arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada yaş yükseldikçe örneklemin gelecek kaygı puanları düşmüş, ancak dindarlıklarında her hangi bir farklılık görülmemiştir. Bekâr katılımcıların gelecek kaygısı puanları evlilere göre yüksek çıkmıştır. Cinsiyet açısından bakıldığında kadınların daha dindar oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Fakat gelecek kaygısı ile cinsiyet arasında anlamlı bir fark tespit edilememiştir. Aylık gelir düzeyi göz önüne alındığında gelir düzeyi zayıf olan grubun gelir düzeyi orta ve iyi olanlara göre gelecek kaygısı puanları yüksek tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmaya Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 364 öğrenci katılmıştır. Bu katılımcıların 277’si kız ve 87’si ise erkek öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılara Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği ve Dini Yönelim Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların veri analizleri, SPSS Statistics 21 paket yazılımında gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Context: Mangroves are threatened by human activities and climate change which affect their biotopes. For the sake of their preservation, this prospective study of the adaptation of Rhizophora racemosa from the Marine Park of Mangroves (PMM) in the Democratic Republic of Congo was conducted on the sandy soils of Kinshasa, more than 400 km from its natural site. Methods: Three vegetative propagation techniques, including transplanting wildlings, germinating propagules and sowing propagule cuttings, were tested in pots. The experimental trial lasted six months. Results: The transplanted wildlings barely survived the end of the trial (20%). The immature and mature propagules recorded the germination rates of 99.5% and 100% respectively. The seedlings resulting from this vegetative propagation experienced good growth and development after 6 months of cultivation. The use of propagules and their cuttings is thus the most recommended technique for transplanting R. racemosa G.F.W. Meyer into the soil of Kinshasa. Conclusion: The domestication of R. racemosa G.F.W. Meyer ex situ based on propagule cuttings offers the possibility of ecologically relocating this plant species potentially threatened with extinction and thus ensuring its conservation.

Published: October 2023

Viral hepatitis is increasingly present in infections diagnosed around the world. Thousands of individuals are infected by these often-silent diseases that only manifest themselves when clinical signs are very advanced. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a vaccine-preventable liver infection. Recombinant vaccines had been applied with the advance of genetic engineering for HBV. New studies have investigated the improvement of the vaccine model of heterological antigens based on hepatitis B virus envelope protein containing HCV antigen as a chimeric vaccine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the detection rates of these viruses that induce liver damage and can progress to cancer depending on the associated epigenetic factors. Thus, between January 10, 2022, and March 31, 2023, about 2.750 samples were collected from 2.713 patients, of which 38.43% were for HCV and 30.25% for HAV research. For HBV, it had been analyzed about 2.222 samples from 1.660 patients, which females were more prevalent (60.60%) and males (39.39%). In all, eight biomarkers of the HBV were investigated and HBsAg marker was non-reactive in 44.01% of the total samples analyzed and 31,41% reactive for anti-HBs. HBV/HCV coinfected patients need more attention. New research about immunological serum markers should be better investigated to correlation the natural history of hepatitis viral infections and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) improve tumour genomic and epidemiological surveillance in clinical trials.

Authors:   Deakin University, Burge Laura , Marshall Fiona ,   Monash University
Published: October 2023

Preventing and responding to incidents of sexual assault and sexual harassment on university campuses remains an ongoing challenge for tertiary institutions across Australia and around the world. The growing recognition that universities have an obligation to address sexual harm has led to increased cooperation and collaboration among universities. This paper provides an overview of one such example of sector collaboration—the Victorian Tertiary Primary Prevention Network (TPPN). This community of practice brings together practitioners to share resources, ideas, successes, and challenges in relation to the promotion of safe and respectful university communities, and the prevention of sexual assault and sexual harassment. The paper also highlights transferable elements of the Network, drawing attention to four principles that should be taken into consideration by those seeking to explore or develop similar cross-institutional programs of work.

Resonancias de las culturas ancestrales en el arte con el uso de tecnología en México
Authors: Villagómez Oviedo Cynthia Patricia
Published: October 2023

El arte tecnológico mexicano, arte electrónico o arte de los nuevos medios, ha incursionado en la cultura y tradiciones que forman parte de la identidad nacional. Los grupos indígenas que poblaron el país antes de la conquista dejaron rastros suficientes de su presencia y hoy en día se cuenta con literatura y vestigios arqueológicos que dan cuenta de sus creencias, formas de vida y costumbres, especialmente aquellas relacionadas con su percepción del medio ambiente. Para algunos artistas, como Fernando Palma, esto les ha permitido crear con elementos prehispánicos, los cuales pueden dar una pista sobre cómo se puede vivir en armonía con la naturaleza y en comunidad, por medio del rescate de aspectos culturales e identitarios para trascender a una mejor calidad de la vida.
Acetilación mitocondrial: la nueva frontera en la investigación del cáncer
Authors: Fernández Coto Diana Lashidua , Ayala Reyes Marisol
Published: October 2023

El cáncer es un problema de salud que afecta a millones de personas en todo el mundo. Al ser una enfermedad tan compleja, todavía no se conocen todos los aspectos implicados en su desarrollo. Uno de los mecanismos celulares que han atraído el interés de los investigadores es la acetilación de proteínas. Ésta consiste en adicionar grupos acetilo a la cadena de aminoácidos de proteínas. En proteínas mitocondriales, esta modificación tiene un efecto negativo que conduce a un funcionamiento deficiente de las mitocondrias, las cuales inducen cambios en la maquinaria celular que predisponen la aparición y el desarrollo del cáncer. La modulación de los patrones de acetilación de proteínas mitocondriales puede ser un enfoque terapéutico viable para el tratamiento de esta enfermedad.

In general, students' numeracy literacy skills are still low. Therefore, teachers need to provide a stimulus for students in learning by using interesting media and unique and distinctive ways of exposure. One of the media that can be used by teachers is a mathematics learning video. This study aims to produce and determine the feasibility (validity, practicality, and effectiveness) of instructional video media that supports numeracy literacy skills for eighth grade students of a junior high school in Jambi, Indonesia. This study uses the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model. Based on the results of the research, the material validation analysis obtained a percentage of 74.6% (quite valid) and the media validation analysis obtained a percentage of 83% (quite valid). The practical aspect seen from the results of the teacher assessment questionnaire analysis obtained a percentage of 93.4% and the one-on-one evaluation questionnaire analysis (9 students of class VIII) obtained a percentage of 90% (very practical). The effectiveness is seen based on the results of the numeracy literacy test, where the percentage of students' completeness is 90% and the results of the questionnaire analysis of student responses to small group evaluations are 94% (very effective). Based on the data, the learning animation video has met the indicators (valid, practical, effective). Based on the results of this study, teachers should consider using learning videos that can support students' numeracy literacy skills in classroom learning. Furthermore, researchers will further study the effectiveness of using instructional videos in quasi-experimental research.

The aim of the research was to study the effect of increasing the depth of mineral fertilizer placement on their agronomic efficiency for crops differed in root system architecture. Available NPK in soil, chlorophyll content in the leaves, and yield of sunflower and soybean were measured in the field small-plot experiments on Luvic Chernozem during three years. It was found a higher efficiency of N60P60K60 placement for sunflower in form of mix of ammonium nitrate, ammophos and potassium chloride on 20-22 cm, and for soybean in form of nitroammophoska by two bands on 10-12 cm and 20-22 cm comparing to the common method of fertilizer applying by one band on the depth 10-12 cm. The maximum yield increase was 15% for soybeans, 36% for sunflower. The content of chlorophyll in leaves might be an additional indicator to optimize the technology of fertilizer application because it has close positive correlation with crops yield. The obtained results prove the need for an individual approach in choosing the optimal fertilizer band placement for each crop separately. In general, increased depth of fertilizer band placement is recommend as a measure for adapting agricultural technology to unstable and insufficient moisture.
İnşikâku’l-Kamer Bağlamında Hz. Muhammed’e (s.a.v.) Kur'ân Dışında Mûcize Verilmediğini Öne Süren Görüşün Metodolojik Tahlili
Authors: ÇELİKEL Fatih
Published: October 2023

İslam ulemâsının kâhir ekseriyeti Hz. Peygamber’e de diğer peygamberler gibi bir takım hissî mûcizeler verildiğini kabul eder. Çoğunluğun üzerinde ittifak ettiği bu görüşe karşılık, özellikle modern zamanlarla birlikte Hz. Peygamber’e Kur’an dışında mûcize verilmediği söyleminin savunulduğu görülmektedir. Kla-sik tefsir geleneğinde görülmeyen ve modern bir olgu olan bu söylem, bazı âyetlere dayandırılmaktadır. Bu âyetlerde Mekkeli müşriklerin Hz. Peygamber’den (s.a.v) mûcize talepleri ve bu taleplere verilen olum-suz cevaplar aktarılır. Temelde bu muhtevadaki âyetler eşliğinde Hz. Peygamber’e Kur'ân dışında mûcize verilmediği gerçeğinin bizzat Kur'ân tarafından beyan edildiği öne sürülür. Ancak çoğunluğa göre Kur'ân-ı Kerim’de Hz. Peygamber’e Kur'ân dışında mûcize verildiğine delâlet ettiği kabul edilen pek çok âyet bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan birisi literatürde inşikâku’l-kamer olarak bilinen ayın yarılması hadisesidir. Kamer suresinde zikredilen bu hadise müfessirlerin kâhir ekseriyetince Hz. Peygamber’in büyük mûcize-lerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte bilhassa son yüzyılda bu âyetin kıyamet sahnele-rini tasvir ettiği yorumu daha güçlü bir şekilde dillendirilmektedir. Özellikle Hz. Peygamber’e Kur'ân dı-şında mûcize verilmediği söylemini benimseyenlerce ısrarla savunulan bu görüş, farklı çalışmalara konu olmaktadır. Bir metnin okunması ve yorumlanması faaliyetinde metodolojinin kaynak işlevi görmesi sebebiyle öncelik arz ettiği malumdur. Dolayısıyla Hz. Muhammed’e (s.a.v) Kur'ân dışında mûcize veril-mediğini öne sürmek suretiyle klasik usûl ve söylemden farklılaşan bu yaklaşımın tefsir ilmi bağlamında metodolojik açıdan değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada sırasıyla; ilgili görüşe referans olarak gösterilen âyetlerin incelenmesi, bu görüşü savunanların benimsedikleri metot tahlili, inşikâk-ı kamer konusu örnekliğinde ilgili metodun pratikteki yansımasının ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalış-mamız temelde Hz. Peygamber’in Kur'ân dışında mûcizesi olmadığı söyleminin metodolojik tahlilini konu edinmektedir. Çalışmanın önemi, konuyu metodolojik zemine taşımasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Çalışmada tahlil ve tenkit yöntemi kullanılmaktadır. Buna göre Hz. Muhammed’e Kur'ân dışında mûcize verilmediği söylemi zannî ve zayıf bir yorum olup, kesin bir bilgi ifade etmemektedir. Söz konusu görüşü savunanların benimsediği metodolojinin subjektif yorumlar için müsait zemin oluşturması sebebiyle eleştirilere açık olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
