PREDICTORS OF NEUROPATHIC PAIN IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY)
Authors: Delva M. Yu. , Skoryk K.S.
Published: November 2022

Neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis is a common phenomenon and is accompanied by numerous negative consequences, which significantly reduces their quality of life and increases the degree of disability. The purpose of this study is to study the factors that act as predictors of neuropathic pain in patients with multiple sclerosis. Were involved in the research process. 321 patients with multiple sclerosis - 110 men (34.3%) and 211 women (65.7%), aged 21 to 55 years. Among the characteristics of multiple sclerosis, the age of the patient when diagnosed, the duration of the disease, the type of course, and the total assessment of neurological deficit were determined. Appropriate scales were used to determine the type and duration of pain, socio-demographic, psychopathological, statistical research methods and comorbid pathology was taken into account. It was established that female gender is a predictor of central dysesthesias in neuropathic pain - 2.61 (1.06-6.42; p=0.04). It was also found that the factors of dysesthesias of central origin are subclinical anxiety disorders - 2.66 (1.19-5.92; p=0.02) and subclinical depressive disorders - 2.92 (1.31-6.49; p=0.02). p=0.01). Predictors of dysesthesias of central genesis are an increase in the duration of multiple sclerosis for each subsequent year - 1.07 (1.02-1.14; p=0.01), progressive type of multiple sclerosis - 5.78 (2.45-13.59; p= 0.001) and an increase in Expanded Disability Status Scale indicators for each subsequent 0.5 points – 1.03 (1.01-1.06; p=0.01). Early, correction of subclinical anxiety and depressive disorders as predictors of modifiable central neuropathic pain is likely for adequate management of neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis. Patients with advanced type of multiple sclerosis, especially those with a high score on the Expanded Disability Status Scale are a group at increased risk of central neuropathic pain and, accordingly, require more careful monitoring with the aim of early detection and correction of dysesthesias, which will positively affect the quality of life of patients. Patients with progressive type of multiple sclerosis, especially those with a high score on the Expanded Disability Status Scale are a group at increased risk of central neuropathic pain and, accordingly, require more careful monitoring with the aim of early detection and correction of dysesthesias, which will positively affect the quality of life of patients.
IMPACT OF SLEEP QUALITY ON QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH ANXIETY DISORDERS
Authors: Zhyvotovska A. I.
Published: November 2022

Modern scientific sources point out a close connection between depression, anxiety, psychological distress and low quality of life. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of sleep quality on the quality of life in patients with anxiety disorders of neurotic origin. Examination of 81 patients with anxiety disorders of neurotic origin and dyssomnic disorders was carried out using clinical-psychopathological, psychodiagnostic and statistical research methods. The psychodiagnostic method included determining the level of stress load according to the PSM-25 questionnaire, the level of anxiety and depression by the HADS scale, the severity of the mental and somatic component of anxiety according to the HAM-A scale, assessing the quality of life according to the "SF-36" scale, studying sleep quality disorders according to the PSQI questionnaire.

Depending on the level of psychological stress based on the PSM-25 scale, 3 groups were formed: group 1 included 25 (30.7%) people with a low level of stress, group 2 included 29 (35.8%) individuals with an average stress level, and group 3 included 27 people (37.4%) with a high stress level. Analysis according to the HADS scale has shown that anxiety symptoms prevail over depressive symptoms in all examined subjects. According to the HAM-A scale, the average score of the somatic and mental components in the group 1 is significantly lower compared to the group 2 (p<0.001) and the group 3 (p<0.001).

This study has demonstrated that as the level of stress increases, there is a tendency for quality of life indicators to decrease in all spheres of functioning. Significantly worse sleep quality scores were found in patients with anxiety disorder and high mental stress level compared to those with moderate or low levels. There is a strong negative correlation between indicators by the "vital activity" scale and such components of sleep quality as "daytime dysfunction", "sleep latency" and the total score of sleep quality, between indicators by the scales "role functioning due to physical condition" and "daytime dysfunction". It has been found out that with increasing pain intensity, all indicators of sleep quality decline. The data obtained should be taken into account in developing patient-centred treatment plan for this group of patients.

Introduction. Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation poses a serious medical and social problem. Studying the pathogenetic mechanisms of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation may improve therapeutic approaches and patient’s quality of life.

The aim of this study is to investigate the homocysteine role in the development of abdominal pain syndrome in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and constipation, taking into account body mass index.

Subjects and methods. The study involved 55 patients with functional bowel disorders, who were divided into 2 groups: group I (n=27) included patients with functional constipation; II group (n=28) involved patients with irritable bowel syndrome and constipation. The average age of patients in group I was 35.7±8.63 years, in group II – 34.50±9.06 years, the ratio of men and women was 7(25.9%) / 20(74.1%) and 10 (35.7%) / 18(64.28%), respectively. A modified faces pain scale was used to assess pain intensity. Height, weight, and waist circumference were measured, body mass index was calculated according to formula: body mass index = weight (kg)/height (m2). The homocysteine level in the blood serum was measured.

Results. Abdominal obesity with the waist circumference greater than 88 cm for women and greater than 102 cm for men was recorded in 6 (21.42%) patients with irritable bowel syndrome and constipation and in 4 (14.81%) patients with functional constipation. The severity of pain and meteorism according to the modified faces scale in patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation were respectively 2.4 and 1.7-fold (р˂0.0001) higher than the respective parameters in the patients with functional constipation.

The content of homocysteine in the blood serum in the patients with irritable bowel syndrome and constipation was 1.9-fold (р˂0.0001) higher than in the patients with functional constipation. Increased homocysteine level led to the increase in the risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome and constipation (RR=3.61; 95%CI 1.37–9.52; p<0.01). It is important to stress that the serum homocysteine level in the patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation was directly correlated with the pain severity assessed by the modified faces pain scale (r=+0.9; p=0.0001).

Conclusion. The severity of abdominal pain and meteorism in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and constipation is associated with the homocysteine level in the blood serum.

Published: November 2022

An analysis of modern medical literature carried out to study the main concomitant pathology in children with autism spectrum disorders gas revealed what concomitant diseases are more common in children with autism than in the general population. The structure of concomitant somatic pathology of children with autism includes disturbances from the gastrointestinal tract, sleep disturbances, the risk of overweight and obesity that affects the quality of life and complicates the manifestations of the main disease. The review of the current scientific literature has provided preliminary evidence that targeting the gut ecosystem has the potential to influence both autism spectrum disorders symptoms and gastrointestinal symptoms. The use of prebiotics and probiotics to correct behaviour and treat gastrointestinal diseases in children with autism has had limited effectiveness. The effectiveness and safety of using a gluten-free and casein-free diet in autism spectrum disorder is remaining controversial: a number of studies have reported no significant changes in autism symptoms, and the risk of developing nutrient deficiencies limits its clinical use. A combination of behavioural interventions and the use of the paediatric slow-release melatonin molecule are effective in the treatment of sleep disorders in children with autism.

Conclusion. The high prevalence of concomitant somatic pathology in children with autism affects the course of the main disease, requiring a comprehensive examination of these children for its timely diagnosis and treatment. Taking into account the polyetiological nature of the etiopathogenetic mechanism of the development of autism spectrum disorder, the treatment of children with autism by a paediatrician should be carried out using evidence-based methods, with multidisciplinary support by specialists in the profile of existing concomitant disorders.

Published: November 2022

This study explores whether firm size moderates the relationship between corporate diversification and CEO compensation. A sample of 2,448 CEO compensations across 1,622 firms from 1997 to 2002 was used to test several hypotheses. Corporate diversification was divided into two categories (international diversification and industry diversification) and firm size was defined using total assets.
This study uses firm size as the moderator to test whether firm size influences the relationship between international diversification and CEO compensation. This study found new evidence that firm size moderate the relationship between both international diversification and industrial diversification and CEO total compensation.
The result shows that firm size significantly and positively influences the relationship between International diversification and CEO compensation. Furthermore, the finding also shows that firm size significantly and negatively influences the relationship between industrial diversification and CEO compensation.

The main goal of this thesis is to determine the most important effective factors for student admission and his/her interests in the specialization by using multivariate methods. Therefore, it focused on using factor analysis by identifying a number of the obtained factors and cluster analysis by classifying them into five clusters. Furthermore, the factor analysis and cluster analysis results will be compared to each other. Moreover, this study depends on the analysis of 350 questionnaire forms, distributed by random stratified sample method on students in the first stage of three different colleges, including Scientific colleges and Humanity colleges of Salahaddin University in Northern Iraq for the academic year 2018-2019. Thus, the IBM SPSS Statistics V: 25 software programs have been used in data analysis. Additionally, the results have demonstrated that Reliability is accepted, and also in factor analysis, the rate of the total variance interpretation is %62.157. Moreover, the most common variables between the factor analysis and cluster analysis can be considered the most important and influential variables for student admission and their interests in choosing a specialization. Consequently, the first factor and the first cluster have five significant variables in common; they are V1, V2, V3, V4 and V5 (the system is helpful for student admission to colleges to get their desired professions). The second factor and the second cluster have four influential variables in common they are V24, V32, V35 and V37 (the new system may help master's and PhD students to be admitted to colleges and get competitive results by utilizing their accounts). In the fourth factor and the fourth cluster, there is one variable in common, which is V18 (decreasing the number of students admitted in the parallel system by using the graduated students who must not be able to refill admission forms). Ultimately, the conclusion has shown a kind of approach and similarity between factor analysis and cluster analysis.
Secure Image Steganography by Utilizing DNA Properties
Authors:   Department of Computer sciences College of Computer Sciences and Math University of Mosul, Ismael Yaseen
Published: November 2022

In the last period, Steganography is commonly used as an alternative to encryption to achieve secret communication between parties. Many methods have emerged to achieve steganography, including the use of spatial domain, spread spectrum, transform domain, and etc. On the other hand, the methods of attackers have also developed in revealing hidden data and trying to retrieve it. To increase the security of the hiding process, some researchers have found hybrid methods that combine encryption and steganography processes. The research aims to present a new method in steganography by taking advantage of the properties of DNA, which includes the random sequence of nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, T), the process of hybridization, which occurs between two single strands of DNA to form a double strand of DNA so that the bases in the first strand are complementary to the nitrogenous bases in the second strand. The research includes the following steps: First, the secret image to be hidden is encrypted by encoding it into a series of nitrogenous bases, and then the XOR process is performed with a nitrogenous bases sequence for a DNA tape agreed upon between the sender and recipient, the hybridization process applied before and after the XOR process. The results show that encrypted image is much different from the original image and thus they added another level of security to the hidden image. Secondly, the encrypted image resulting from the first step is hidden in the cover image and using a new method based on the use of the agreed-upon DNA tape as a key.

Aufbruch und Krise der LINKEN
Authors: Zelik Raul
Published: November 2022

Robert Michels stellte 1911 mit seinem »ehernen Gesetz der Oligarchie« die These auf, dass auch demokratisch-sozialistische Organisationen notwendigerweise Machtoligarchien herausbilden und sich von ihrem Programm und ihrer Mitgliederbasis entfremden. Ursprünglich für die SPD des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts entwickelt, ist die These in verschiedenen Kontexten seither immer wieder bestätigt worden. Anhand der neueren Entwicklung in der Partei DIE LINKE wird in dem Artikel erörtert, ob die von Michels beschriebenen Mechanismen auch heute noch greifen und durch welche Organisationsstrukturen ihnen entgegengewirkt werden könnte. Dabei werden die Ursachen der Krise der LINKEN aus einer Innenperspektive analysiert.
DIE LINKE und ihre Wählerinnen und Wähler
Authors: Kahrs Horst
Published: November 2022

DIE LINKE hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren durch heftige innerparteiliche Auseinandersetzungen an den Rand politischer Bedeutungslosigkeit in den gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Kämpfen manövriert. Ursache sind ungelöste Widersprüche ihrer Gründungsgeschichte als antineoliberale Sammlungsbewegung und eine unterbliebene Parteibildung mit klarer strategischer Orientierung. Ihre Wähler*innen verstanden die Wahlentscheidung eher als Protest und Korrektiv und weniger als Votum für eine eigenständige demokratisch-sozialistische Politik. Anhand der Wahlbewegungen wird argumentiert, dass DIE LINKE ihren Lebenszyklus vollendet hat, weil sie es nicht verstanden hat, ihre innerparteilichen Konflikte als Spiegelbilder gesellschaftlicher Konflikte politisch produktiv zu machen.
Decontamination of Two Umbilical Cord Blood Grafts Prior to Autologous Administration

Published: November 2022

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is proving to be a valuable resource of stem cells and currently is being used for a variety of oncological and hematological pathologies and metabolic disorders; in addition, new clinical trials are showing promising results in certain neurological, autoimmune and developmental disorders. More recently the Food and Drug Administration – FDA - has granted approval for the clinical use of cellular therapies with UCB-based products and new therapeutic utilizations are being studied for regenerative medicine; all these developments will increase the utilization of “off-the-shelf” UCB units.

As a drawback, contamination of UCB grafts is a significant occurrence (upwards of 5% in most analyses), and even though it consists mainly of non-pathogenic bacteria it can raise serious questions regarding intravenous UCB administration, especially in patients who are not receiving coincidental antibiotic coverage. 

Here we report the successful decontamination of two UCB grafts prior to administration without compromising the viability of the stem cells administered, and propose to apply the same principle and procedure to any contaminated graft.
Selection of an engineering institution: Students’ perceptions of choice characteristics and suitability under the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Mahajan Prashant , Patil Vaishali
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

COVID-19 has impacted Indian engineering institutions (EIs) enormously. It has tightened its knot around EIs that forced their previous half-shut shades completely down to prevent the risk of spreading COVID-19. In such a situation, fetching new enrollments on EI campuses is a difficult and challenging task, as students’ behavior and family preferences have changed drastically due to mental stress and emotions attached to them. Historically, during crisis situations, institutions have struggled to return to the normal track. Consequently, it becomes a prerequisite to examining the choice characteristics influencing the selection of EI during the COVID-19 pandemic to make it ‘normal’ for ‘new’ enrollments.

The purpose of this study is to critically examine choice characteristics that affect students’ choice for EI and consequently to explore relationships between institutions’ characteristics and the suitability of EI during the COVID-19 pandemic across students’ characteristics. Quantitative research, conducted through a self-reported survey composed of a closed-ended structured questionnaire, was purposefully incorporated into the students who recently were enrolled in EIs (batch years 2020-2021) belonging to the North Maharashtra region of India.

RESULTS

The findings of this study revealed dissimilarities across students’ characteristics regarding the suitability of EIs under pandemic conditions. Regression analysis revealed that EI characteristics such as proximity, image and reputation, quality education and curriculum delivery have significantly contributed to suitability under COVID-19. At the micro level, multiple relationships were noted between EI characteristics and the suitability of EI under the pandemic across students’ characteristics.

CONCLUSION

Bringing ‘normality’ to ‘new’ enrollments totally depends on EI’s resilience in meeting the needs of diversity in the COVID-19 pandemic situation, which repositions themselves to govern student-centric strategies instituted for the overall suitability of EI under pandemic conditions. The study has successfully demonstrated how choice characteristics can be executed to regulate the ‘suitability’ of EI under the COVID-19 pandemic for the inclusion of diversity. It is useful for policymakers and academicians to reposition EIs that fetch diversity during the pandemic. This study is the first to provide insights into the performance of choice characteristics and their relationship with the suitability of EIs under a pandemic and can be a yardstick in administering new enrollments.
Signatures in mediumnic automatic writing - a pilot exploration of the resemblance with the deceased's handwriting
Authors: Saad Marcelo , de Medeiros Roberta
Published: November 2022

In some texts from automatic writing (psychography), the produced signature sometimes resembles the one the deceased produced in life. At first, a conventional materialistic reasoning would argue that the medium voluntarily changes his handwriting appearance. However, for many reasons, the argumentation of fraud is very unlikely, and the phenomenon of signature similarity remains challenging to explain. This pilot research aims to explore the resemblance between signatures in automatic writing and the deceased's handwriting. The researcher followed two séances of a reputed Spiritist medium with many years of experience with psychography. Proxies willing to participate in the study allowed the produced signature to be photographed right there. Further, the proxy should send the researcher an image file illustrating a document with a representative signature of the deceased. For the four pairs obtained, the signatures produced by psychography were surprisingly similar to those that the deceased produced in life. There seems to be no materialist explanation based on fraud or coincidence that would stand up to closer scrutiny. Future research should describe this phenomenon better and possibly explain it.
How to prevent sepsis in Mozambican primary health care: a literature review
Authors: Pires Paulo
Published: November 2022

INTRODUCTION

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and is worldwide one of the leading causes of infant mortality and the third most frequent direct cause of maternal mortality. Organised and systematic assessment is crucial to identify sepsis early, when signs and symptoms may still be very subtle, as this is when there are most opportunities for interventions. But the World Health Organization has already found that antimicrobial resistance of pathogens responsible for common infections is extremely high.

OBJECTIVE

To identify strategies and interventions to reduce the occurrence of sepsis in primary health care.

METHOD

Bibliographic review of references available at the Family and Community Medicine Resource Centre of the Medical Residencies Committee of the Faculty of Health Sciences of Lúrio University. Two keywords were used (septicaemia, sepsis) and 5 books and 62 articles were selected, 17 were excluded and 45 articles and 5 books were referred to.

RESULTS

The 50 reviewed publications show a long list of conditions and procedures at the origin of sepsis. Likewise, its signs, symptoms and complications are multiple and diverse, also depending on its cause. Reducing the occurrence of this pathology can be achieved with general, public health recommendations as well as specific measures aimed at controlling the different risk factors.

CONCLUSION

The incidence of sepsis has decreased, but it remains a major cause of maternal and neonatal death. There are effective public health measures to reduce its occurrence, which should be implemented by the National Health Service. Strict aseptic rules, a thorough and targeted anamnesis in risk groups, as well as a high level of quaternary prevention and health education for patients and families are recommended for the doctor.

The aim of this work is to analyze the possibility of producing a joint by lamination of an Al-1050 plate and Fe78Si9B13(%at.) soft magnetic ribbons material obtained by a rapid solidification process by using the Melt Spinning (MS) technique. The lamination conditions are studied on the characteristics of the joint, the microstructure, and the magnetic properties. Mainly the surface preparation, temperature, and reduction of thickness. The material is characterized by X-Ray Diffraction, Optical, and Scanning Electron Microscopy, showing a completely amorphous structure before and after the collamination, the typical defects caused by this rapid solidification technique in ribbons (bubbles, dust particles, roughness imperfections and oxides) and the joint between materials. The microhardness Vickers has been determined in both, the ribbons as quenched and collaminated samples, to observe quantitatively the hardening suffered during colamination and find a possible cause. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Compositional Analysis by EDS techniques were also used to determine the crystallization temperatures and chemical exact chemical composition of the ribbons as received. The magnetic hysteresis curve of the amorphous ribbons showed a Hc and Ms around 3.8 A/m and 1.44 T correspondingly.
Pola Interaksi Sosial Kelompok Islam dalam Sejarah Konsensus Dasar Negara Indonesia
Authors: Didik Didik Hariyanto , Athoillah Athoillah Islamy
Published: November 2022

This study aims to identify patterns of social interaction and the basis of argumentation of Islamic groups in the history of the consensus formulation of the primary state of Indonesia. This literature research uses a normative-historical approach. Associative and dissosiative intercation patterns become theories of analysis. The results showed that the pattern of social interaction of Islamic groups in the history of the consesus of the basic formulation of the Indonesian state used associative interaction patterns in the form of compromising attitudes towards nationalist groups. There are five big reasons for the compromise to be considered. First, the threat of disintegration from the representatives of Eastern Indonesia if the seven words in the state basis and the Islamic clauses of the Constitution are passed. Second, Indonesia's condition at that time experienced a power vacuum, becoming a momentum toward independence. Third, the promise of the secular nationalist group, after independence, a special meeting will be held to discuss the basis of the state and the constitution. Fourth, General Election discourse six months after Indonesia's independence, if it wins, it is hoped there will be an Islamic constitution. Fifth, the replacement of the sentence "Almighty Godhead" from "Godhead, with the obligation to carry out Islamic law for its adherents." because it is by the teachings of tawhid. Theoretical implications require a symbiotic, inclusive, and moderate paradigm for Muslims to accept the essential pluralism and universalism of the Indonesian state as a multicultural country.

Authors: Wahyudi Adhie Tri , Suparti Erni , Waruju Resmitha Dian
Published: November 2022

The Decision Support System (DSS) is implemented by CV. IKS assists the director as a Decision Maker in determining the location of housing developments. In the case of determining the location of the subsidized housing project that was carried out in 2020, the DSS developed with two methods, namely DSS1 with the AHP – WP method and DSS2 with the AHP – SAW method, gives different outputs. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a sensitivity test to determine the MADM method most suitable for completing the locating determination of subsidized housing projects in CV. IKS. The sensitivity test method was chosen because this method can detect every ranking change in each MADM method.

Background: Noise pollution is a risk factor for human health which is continuously increasing in Sylhet City corporation, located in the Sylhet division in Bangladesh. Methods: In this study, we assessed the noise pollution level in Sylhet City by comparing it with the standard noise level. Also, the outcomes of this study were compared to other studies from different countries. In order to measure the noise level in decibel, BSWA 308 device was used in this study. A total of 38 samples were taken from different geographical locations in Sylhet City Corporation. The 38 samples provided 96 to 99% accuracy with a 95% confidence level of >36. Results: The decibel values ranged from 72 to 86 dB. From the observed data we calculated the values as follows: L10, L50 and L90 and Noise Climate (NC)=12.7 dB, equivalent continuous noise level Leq=77.18 dB and noise pollution level Lnp=89.88 dB. A contour map of the area was made using Arc GIS software version 10.5. Every line in the contour map defined a specific decibel value. The map was made by 2 dB intervals between the corresponding contour lines. More than 30% of the study area was vulnerable to a high level of noise (>82 dBA), and about 30% had the lower level of noise (<77 dBA). Only 40% of the area had moderate noise levels (i.e., between 77 to 82 dBA). Conclusion: After comparing the outcomes of noise level in this study with previous studies, we observed that the noise level of this area was more than acceptable limit for all parameters.

Breve aproximación al concepto de analfabetismo funcional como determinación deficiente de un problema educativo fundamental
Authors: Pérez Martínez Ramón Manuel
Published: November 2022

El analfabetismo es un problema complejo cuya comprensión y efectos atraviesan varias dimensiones: económica, social, política y, por supuesto, cultural. Se trata de un problema que ha merecido atención sostenida por lo menos desde mediados del siglo XX, aunque su concepción como problema económico ha sido dominante en las políticas diseñadas para su solución; un problema económico visto desde un razonamiento por indicadores y con fundamento en la teoría del capital humano. Es verdad que el analfabetismo tiene consecuencias negativas en la productividad, la tasa de participación laboral y la oferta laboral, e incluso que constituye uno de los pilares de la desigualdad social, sin embargo, una perspectiva exclusivamente económica termina por condicionar la comprensión del problema reduciendo su complejidad y poniendo con ello en riesgo su solución. Por ello, aquí consideramos al analfabetismo un problema complejo cuya determinación debe pasar por una crítica de las definiciones de política pública desde las cuales se ha intentado confrontarlo, con el fin de sentar las bases de una perspectiva amplia que considere no solo las muchas implicaciones perniciosas que el analfabetismo tiene, sino también las enormes oportunidades culturales y de liberación que la alfabetización significa.
Ebū Bekr el-Ceṣṣāṣ’ın Usul Anlayışında Lafız Türleri ve Diyagramatik Bir Taksim Önerisi
Authors: ÇALIŞKAN Kâmil
Published: November 2022

Ebū Bekr Aḥmed b. ʿAlī er-Rāzī el-Ceṣṣāṣ (ö. 370/981), fıkıh usulü bağlamında eserlerinde yer verdiği lafız türlerini birbirleri ile ilişkileri üzerinden sistematik ve bütüncül olarak bir arada sunmamakta, lafız türlerine ilişkin bir taksim de vermemektedir. Bu çalışma, el-Ceṣṣāṣ’ın Şerḥu’l-Cāmiʿi’l-Kebīr, Şerḥu Muḫtaṣari’ṭ-Ṭaḥāvī, Uṣūlu’l-Fiḳh -el-Fuṣūl fī’l-Uṣūl-, Aḥkāmu’l-Ḳurʾān ve Şerḥu Edebi’l-Ḳāḍī eserlerinde geçen lafız türlerinin kapsamlı ve bütüncül olarak incelenmesini konu edinmektedir. Bu doğrultuda makalede, sırasıyla muḥkem, müteşabih, ẓāhir, müşterek, hakikat, mecāz, ṣarīḥ, kināye, muṭlaḳ, muḳayyed, mubhem, ʿumūm, ḫuṣūṣ, naṣṣ, mücmel ve müfesser lafız türleri mahiyetleri ve birbirleriyle ilişkileri üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Bu inceleme sırasında el-Ceṣṣāṣ’ın lafız türlerine yaklaşımına dair ulaşılan bazı ilke ve tespitler ayrı bir bölüm altında paylaşılmıştır. Ardından el-Ceṣṣāṣ’ın usul anlayışında yer alan lafız türleri diyagramatik bir taksim üzerinden açıklamalı olarak sunulmuş, taksime ilişkin bazı yorum ve çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur. Çalışmamızda, el-Ceṣṣāṣ’ın lafız türleri kullanımının esneklik içermekle birlikte genel bir uyum ve tutarlılık arz ettiği görülmüş, bir diyagram üzerinden sunulabilme imkanının bu kullanımların arka planda bir sistematik ve bütünsellik barındırdığı yönünde değerlendirilebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
