Published: April 2024

Se estudió la redistribución de la precipitación en dos especies del género Pinus en el ejido Adolfo Ruiz Cortines, Pueblo Nuevo, Durango, con el objetivo de evaluar la precipitación incidente, precipitación directa, escurrimiento fustal, pérdidas por intercepción, valores de pH y conductividad eléctrica para las especies Pinus teocote y Pinus engelmannii. Se evaluaron 26 eventos de lluvia, en una parcela de 2 500 m2, donde se midieron las propiedades hidrológicas durante el periodo de junio a diciembre de 2019. Los resultados indicaron una precipitación incidente de 812.28 mm. La precipitación directa en P. engelmannii y en P. teocote representó 84.93 y 83.15 %, respectivamente, con un promedio de 84 % de la precipitación total. El escurrimiento fustal representó 0.29 % para P. engelmannii y 0.33 % en P. teocote; mientras que las pérdidas por intercepción del dosel vegetal fueron de 16.52 % para P. teocote y 15 % para P. engelmannii. En el pH del pluviolavado, el valor más alto respecto a la precipitación incidente fue 7.0, para el escurrimiento fustal de P. teocote de 4.7 y para P. engelmannii de 5.5; la precipitación directa registró un pH de 5.4 para las dos especies. La conductividad eléctrica mostró una tendencia de aumento conforme recorría las copas y fustes de los árboles; se obtuvo un valor de 29.5 μS cm-1 en la precipitación incidente, 44.4 μS cm-1 en la precipitación directa y el escurrimiento fustal registró valores superiores, con un promedio de 90.2 μS cm-1.

Los bosques de galería son comunidades forestales que crecen a lo largo de los ríos y arroyos. Proporcionan numerosos servicios ecosistémicos, pero al igual que otras asociaciones vegetales están severamente amenazadas por actividades antrópicas como la agricultura. El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer el estado actual de los bosques de galería del municipio Linares, Nuevo León por medio de un análisis multitemporal de cambio de uso de suelo y cobertura vegetal en cuatro periodos: 1995-2008, 2008-2014, 2014-2022 y 1995-2022. Para el análisis se utilizaron imágenes de alta resolución espacial de los satélites Airbus Defence and Space, GeoEye-1 y Birdseye. Se determinó el cambio neto y el cambio relativo porcentual para cada tipo de uso de suelo a lo largo del tiempo, así como la tasa anual de cambio mediante la ecuación propuesta por Puyravaud. Los resultados indican una pérdida de cobertura de los bosques de galería y un aumento del área agrícola. En un periodo de 27 años (1995-2022), la tasa anual de cambio registrada fue de -0.55 %; por el contrario, para la agricultura fue de 0.51 %. Con base en los valores obtenidos, se concluye que la superficie de los bosques de galería del municipio Linares tiende a disminuir, en función del tiempo para convertirse en tierras agrícolas. Es importante detener esta tendencia, ya que los bosques de galería desempeñan un papel importante en la protección de la biodiversidad, los recursos hídricos y edáficos, por lo que deben ser recuperados y conservados.

Published: April 2024

Science and technology are developing very quickly in the 21st century, especially in the field of education. Students need to be prepared to face these changes by having independent scientific literacy skills and skills that help them use technology. The findings from the 2015 PISA test are proof of the importance of scientific literacy in science learning. This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of the module, the effectiveness of the module, the profile of students' scientific literacy skills and learning independence after using the module and the differences in learning independence and scientific literacy before and after using the guided discovery-based module. This research uses research and development (R&D) methods modified from Borg & Gall in Sugiyono. The N-gain test is used to determine the effectiveness of the product, and descriptive data analysis is used to assess the feasibility and profile of students' scientific literacy abilities and learning independence. Differences in students' independence and scientific literacy abilities were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis H test. The research results show that (1) the guided discovery-based module developed meets the content, presentation and language criteria very well; (2) The N-gain value with the criteria is experiencing an increase, in accordance with the results of the assessment of scientific literacy and student learning independence; (3) The profile of students' scientific literacy abilities which includes science context, competence and knowledge has moderate/good criteria; (4) The level of learning independence after using the module is at high criteria; (5) Students who use guided discovery-based modules can increase their scientific literacy and learning independence, but not at the same level as students who use traditional learning methods. This shows that the use of guided discovery-based modules developed as an alternative learning resource for science lessons regarding the water cycle is feasible to use

To assess the hepatoprotective action of Virgin Coconut Oil(VCO) in atrazine administered rats. Adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-200 g body weight were separated into two major experimental groups. 35 rats in the test group were divided into five sub-groups of 7rats: Subgroup (SG)1,2 and 3 received 10 ml/kg body weight of distilled water, 10 ml/kg VCO and 123 mg/kg Atrazine (ATZ) respectively, SG 4 was diabetic control group and SG 5 was diabetic group treated with 10 ml/kg of VCO for 2weeks, after which the animals were sacrificed and blood collected for analysis. 35 rats for the recovery group were also divided into 5 subgroups of 7 rats; SG1 and 2 received 10 ml/kg body weight of distilled water and 10 ml/kg of VCO, SG 3, 4 and 5 received 123 mg/kg of ATZ for 2 weeks. After the first 2 weeks, SG 1,2,3 continued the initial treatment while the rats in SG4 and SG5 were fed with 10 ml/kg of VCO and10 ml/kg of distilled water respectively. After 2 weeks, all the animals were sacrificed and blood collected for analysis. We observed a significant increase in the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels of the diabetes control and diabetes treated with VCO groups compared to the normal control. In the groups administered with atrazine, the result showed elevations in serum AST and ALT. With VCO,a significant decrease in ALT levels when compared to the ATZ continued group was observed, further potentiating the hepatoprotective ability of VCO.

Authors: Akhil Mehrotra  , Faiz Illahi Siddiqui  , Mohammad Shaban
Published: April 2024

Mesocardia is a condition in which the heart is longitudinally oriented along its long axis in the midline. Cardiac position refers to the anatomical position of the left ventricular apex in the thorax. The heart has three positions: dextrocardia or right-sided heart, levocardia or left-sided heart, mesocardia or midline heart. Mesocardia is extremely rare. It represents only 0.2% of cardiac anomalies. Mesocardia is usually associated with cardiac structural abnormalities, heterotaxy syndrome, chromosomal disorders and genetic syndromes. Occasionally, it is an isolated finding. We are presenting an interesting case report of severely symptomatic neonate afflicted with mesocardia, situs solitus, moderate sized atrial septal defect (ASD) and large ventricular septal defect (VSD).

Published: April 2024

Since its first isolation, H. pylori, a Gram-negative flagellated bacterium, has been the subject of intensive research because of its widespread dissemination and associations with several disorders. The bacterium is proven to be a causative factor for a number of gastric diseases, such as gastritis, gastric adenocarcinoma, and MALT-lymphoma. While H. pylori infection has been reported to be linked to several extra-gastric diseases, this study investigated extra-gastric manifestation of H. pylori using specific biomarkers in humans. The GERDs questionnaire was used to randomly chose 150 (one hundred and fifty) participants, of which 75 (seventy five) were found to be H. pylori positive and another 75 (seventy five) were chosen as negative controls. Samples were gathered, and biochemical characteristics were examined. The study revealed a significant (p<0.05) reduction in the levels of oxidative stress markers, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), vitamin C (vit C) and no significant difference was observed in malondialdehyde (MDA) and Total iron concentrations, although with a mean increase and reduction respectively. For the lipid profile biomarker results were statistically (p<0.05) significant for triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein(LDLc) while no significant difference was observed in total cholesterol (TC) and high density lipoprotein (HDLc). Kidney function assessment revealed a statistical (p > 0.05) no significant different with sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-) and bicarbonate (HCO2-) concentrations while there was a significant difference in urea and creatinine concentrations when compared with the control subjects. In the liver function parameters, a statistical (p<0.05) significant difference was observed with the aminotransferases (ALT, AST, ALP) and conjugated bilirubin while total bilirubin had a no significant difference when compared with the control subjects. A correlation coefficient analysis of parameter in H. pylori positive subjects were significantly adjusted (p<0.05) for TG, total cholesterol, aminotransferases and bilirubin. The aim of the study was to investigate the biochemical changes of H. pylori infection in humans using specific biomarkers.

Authors: Ulusu Funda
Published: April 2024

Organic and inorganic fertilizers play an important role in improving the nutritional quality of coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum L.). This study consists of 3 different fertilizer applications to coriander: Control-T0 (no fertilizer); organic fertilizer- T1 (300-600 mL/da); chemical fertilizer-T2 (2-3 L/da); vermicompost-T3 (1.5 L/da). It was conducted in three replicates in a randomized block design to evaluate the effect of different fertilizer applications on the morphological, biochemical and antioxidant potential of coriander plants. It has been observed that fertilizer applications have a significant effect on the morphological, biochemical and antioxidant properties of the plant, and especially in the coriander of seeds organic fertilizer and vermicompost applications have higher phenolic and flavonoid contents (1.82, 2.14 mg GAE/g DW and 2.57, 2.46 mg QE/g DW, respectively). In the GC-MS analysis, linalool was determined as the main compound and the highest concentration of 76.44% was obtained as a result of organic fertilizer application. Antioxidant potential was evaluated by DPPH radical-scavenging assay and the most effective antioxidant activity was determined from organic origin fertilizer (organic-IC50: 27.35±2.52 µg/mL, vermicompost-IC50: 29.42±2.41 µg/mL) applications.
The influence of Madrid comedians on Spanish culture in the 1860s-1880s
Authors: Khamenok Vera Ivanovna
Published: April 2024

The paper examines the significance of the group of comedians led by F. Arderíus (Los bufos madrileños) for Spanish culture in the second half of the 19th century and the formation of a new type of the zarzuela as a genre of musical theater. The scientific novelty lies in the formulation of the research aim and research tasks within domestic science, as there is no single source on the topic in Russian-language literature. The author aims to generalize the contribution of the comedians to the development of the Spanish buffoonery genre. As a result of the research, it becomes possible to trace the evolution of the genre on Spanish soil and conclude that there is a significant resemblance to the “small zarzuela”. The popularity of the comedians’ performances contributed to the rapid flourishing of the chico genre in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Authors: Varlakova Ekaterina Aleksandrovna , Goncharova Maria Vyacheslavovna , Spiridonova Valentina Aleksandrovna
Published: April 2024

The paper presents the results of a linguistic study of persuasive techniques based on German online media outlets publishing articles on the topics of energy, raw materials policy and economics. The aim of the study is to identify a persuasive strategy using which a negative image of fossil hydrocarbons is created in the modern German-language media discourse. The scientific novelty of the work lies in finding the main persuasive techniques that allow influencing public opinion on issues related to the extraction and use of fossil energy in the texts of the media discourse on raw materials. As a result of the study, the main persuasive techniques have been identified, which include the use of negatively charged epithets and metaphors based mainly on motivational components from the semantic fields “Wars”, “Catastrophes”, “Gambling”, as well as the employment of negatively charged precedent phenomena. In addition, the mechanism of the persuasive effect of these techniques has been investigated.

Authors: Mushtanova Oxana Yurievna
Published: April 2024

The article has a practice-oriented nature. The research shows the results of developing the author’s electronic course on the Italian language, stemming from methodological reflections that arose both during its writing and during its testing. The aim of this article is to present the experience of developing and testing an electronic course on the Italian language based on a TV series. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the fact that it first justifies the possibility of using a TV series as educational material within the framework of creating an electronic course on the Italian language for students of non-linguistic universities. As a result, it is proven that the developed educational and methodological complex represents a multi-level system, which most effectively realizes its didactic potential in a semi-distance (blended) format, with active involvement of the teacher in the learning process.
Semantics and pragmatics of expressions with the component ‘белое пальто’ (fig. ‘superior attitude’) based on internet publications
Authors: Bashkirtseva Oksana Aleksandrovna , Dedkovskaya Dar'ya Mikhailovna
Published: April 2024

The aim of the research is to identify the semantic and pragmatic features of expressions containing the component ‘белое пальто’ (fig. ‘superior attitude’). The paper describes the elements of meaning of the examined expression and thoroughly explores the pragmatics of the sign, including information about the attitude of the person using the expression towards the denoted object and the prevailing assessment of the corresponding reality within the linguistic community. An attempt is made to determine the linguistic status of this unit and identify the type of a fixed phrase from the perspective of semantic inseparability of components and their constancy. The scientific novelty of the work lies in obtaining the semantic and pragmatic characteristics of a little-studied expression widely used in contemporary communication. The researchers base the analysis of expressions containing the component ‘белое пальто’ on live speech in written communication (blogs, internet publications, etc.). The examination of fixed phrases with the component ‘белое пальто’ has led to conclusions about a new phenomenon in contemporary speech practice. As a result of the research, it is found that expressions with the component ‘белое пальто’ are used to express negative evaluation towards the interlocutor who demonstrates their superiority through advice and narratives about their exclusively positive personal experience. The use of this expression is driven by a new phenomenon in the evolving blogosphere that can be labeled as a ‘toxic commentator’. The variability of components in phrases including ‘белое пальто’, the frequency of usage, and the addition of new meanings compared to the primary source pose difficulties in determining the linguistic status of these units.
The text-forming potential of discourse markers in scientific communication
Authors: Danilevskaya Varvara Andreevna
Published: April 2024

The paper analyzes regulatives, discursives, and accentuators as speech units (discourse markers) that are directly involved in text formation. The aim of the study is to substantiate the text-forming function of discourse markers as auxiliary to expanded variative repetitions that underly the text-forming mechanism in scientific speech. The paper discusses the status of discourse markers and their role in the process of presenting new scientific knowledge; the role of expanded variative repetitions as a mechanism for text expansion; the correlation between expanded variative repetitions and discourse markers as units involved in text expansion; and describes the functions of discourse markers. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is the first to demonstrate the auxiliary role of discourse markers in relation to expanded variative repetitions in the process of expressing new scientific knowledge; to substantiate the text-forming role of discursives in the cognitive process. The results of the study show that discourse markers participate in the construction of an utterance as elements of its semantic organization, thus actualizing the necessary intonational and modal information from the author’s point of view, i.e., they contribute to a more accurate expression of the author’s scientific intention and, therefore, to a more accurate understanding of the content of the text and new scientific knowledge in general by the addressee.

The paper is devoted to the system of linguistic means used to embody a literary image, the specifics of their functioning in a literary work, as well as the characteristics of the language of a regional text. The research aims to describe the lexical linguistic means involved in creating the image of a man in a literary text. The paper is original in that it is the first to consider a new novel by the well-known Ugric writer E. D. Aypin in terms of studying the linguistic means through which the author creates his artistic world, outlining the artistic space of his characters. Since the literary image in the text is represented solely by linguistic means, presenting the system of such means is necessary for a more complete and profound understanding of the character, or the literary image that is key to the author’s intention. As a result of the research, it is for the first time discovered that the lexical means in this novel, although not numerous, are nonetheless quite diverse. Their diversity serves as an indicator of the detailed representation of the work’s protagonist and recreates the unique ethnopoetics of this literary text.
Auguste Brizeux as a type of romantic singer of local culture
Authors: Pinkovskiy Vitaly Ivanovich
Published: April 2024

The aim of the research is to identify the main features of a creative type embodied in the figure of A. Brizeux. Based on the analysis of the poems “Marie” (1831), “The Bretons” (“Les Bretons”, 1846) and “The Breton Elegy” (“L’Élégie de la Bretagne”, 1857), the paper describes the main features of the artistic world created by the writer, as well as the most significant features of the author’s poetics. The paper is original in that it provides a typological examination of the Breton poet’s creative work, focusing on the analysis of the works on the Breton theme, which was most important to A. Brizeux. This approach significantly differs from a complete description of the writer’s creative heritage (with all the incidental details distracting from the main material) and is closer to a thesaurus-based thematic and content-based limitation in the selection of research material. Such a method brings typical features to the foreground and emphasizes them: Brizeux is not just the “bard of Brittany” (the most widespread and well-established view of the poet), but the “bard of Brittany” who lived in an era dominated by Romantic tastes in literature and, therefore, saw his homeland in a way that poets of other eras could not. As a result of the research, it has been found that A. Brizeux represents, firstly, a type of writer not uncommon for the Romantic era, who actualized interest in local culture (Breton culture) and created a romantically idealized image of the homeland, similar to how Virgil created the most memorable myth of “blessed Arcadia” in the “Bucolics”, and, secondly, a type of writer who simultaneously participated in processes characteristic of different Romantic literary periods: the rethinking of poetic norms and the practical transformation of genres.
Lexicographic representation of the lexeme ‘абсурд’ (absurd)
Authors: Dzhur Elena Vladimirovna
Published: April 2024

The aim of the research is to provide a lexicographic representation of the word ‘абсурд’ (absurd), compiled on the basis of data from various linguistic dictionaries. To compile a lexicographic portrait of this word in accordance with the theory of Yu. D. Apresyan, it was necessary to consider it from various sides: etymological, word-formation, grammatical, syntactic, stylistic, phraseological, pragmatic. This became the subject of the research and determined the structure of the work. The paper clarifies the lexical meaning of this word and gives its complex characteristics in various aspects. The scientific novelty lies in a comprehensive linguistic description of the lexical unit under study, which allows us to identify the history of its appearance in the language in the middle of the 19th century, trace its development up to the present day, show its collocability and speech functioning. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the lexical meaning of the lexeme ‘абсурд’ has practically not changed since its appearance in the Russian language, however, it has received quite significant clarifications, which is manifested in its collocability and systemic connections.
Der assistierte Suizid – vermeintlich ultimativer Ausdruck bürgerlicher Freiheit?
Authors: Altschäffl Regina M. , Bauer Axel W.
Published: April 2024

Am 26. Februar 2020 erklärte das Bundesverfassungsgericht den § 217 StGB zur Regelung der geschäftsmäßigen Förderung der Selbsttötung für verfassungswidrig. Die daraufhin eingereichten beiden Gesetzesentwürfe wurden im Juli 2023 im Deutschen Bundestag abgelehnt. Daher gibt es derzeit noch keine neue gesetzliche Regelung der Suizidhilfe. Zur Suizidassistenz wird im Ausland meist das Betäubungsmittel Natrium-Pentobarbital eingesetzt, was durch das deutsche Betäubungsmittelgesetz (BtMG) aber verboten ist. Eine alleinige Änderung des BtMG wäre daher eine denkbare Alternative zu einem neuen Suizidhilfegesetz, jedoch sicher keine Hilfe zum Lebensschutz.

Introdução: Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 é uma doença autoimune diagnosticada na infância ou adolescência. O apoio da família e imprescindível na escolha de hábitos de vida mais saudáveis e na manutenção do tratamento. Objetivo: compreender significados da vivência do familiar junto ao adolescente com Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1. Métodos: estudo descritivo, exploratório, de abordagem qualitativa, realizado em um Centro de Atendimento a Diabetes na Infância e na Adolescência, no interior de Minas Gerais, no período de outubro de 2022 à janeiro de 2023, com familiares responsáveis pelo cuidado de adolescentes diagnosticados com Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e a análise conforme o método proposto por Bardin. Resultado: maioria dos participantes eram mães, entre 36 e 50 anos, com ensino médio completo e 33,33% dos entrevistados possui alguma ocupação, os demais exercem atividades do lar, estão desempregados ou já se aposentaram. Emergiram três categorias de análise, a saber: repercussões do diagnóstico de Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 na família; o cotidiano do familiar na manutenção de hábitos saudáveis na vida do adolescente; a convivência da família com o adolescente. Considerações Finais: Os familiares vivenciam desafios desde a descoberta da doença até os dias atuais. Enfrentam dificuldades financeiras pela mudança na dinâmica familiar, lidam com a desobediência e desmotivação do adolescente para adesão a uma alimentação saudável e exercícios físicos. A convivência familiar gera estresse, já que a adolescência é uma fase permeada de sentimentos exacerbados.

Objetivo: Mapear as evidências científicas quanto a intervenções clínicas direcionadas à pessoa idosa com suspeita de sepse em serviços de emergência. Método: Revisão de escopo, seguindo recomendações do Joanna Briggs Institute, em bases de dados e literatura cinzenta, de agosto a novembro de 2022. Os critérios de inclusão foram: estudos observacionais e de intervenção relacionados à sepse em pessoas idosas, em qualquer idioma e ano, que abordassem intervenções acerca da sepse em pessoas idosas, usando os Medical Subject Headings pessoa idosa, intervenções clínicas e sepse em serviços de urgência e emergência conectados pelos operadores booleanos AND e OR. Resultados: identificou-se 17.190 estudos e somente sete atenderam aos critérios de elegibilidade. As intervenções foram mapeadas em três categorias: reconhecimento precoce de sepse, ressuscitação e intervenções que abordavam as duas condutas. Conclusões: As intervenções de reconhecimento precoce destacaram a avaliação sistemática da pessoa idosa por meio de ferramentas de triagem; e as intervenções relacionadas à ressuscitação enfatizam a conduta terapêutica. Acredita-se que o conhecimento dessas práticas clínicas irá viabilizar a sistematização do cuidado da enfermagem.
Out-of-Class High School Experiences and Students’ College Aspirations
Authors: Trolian Teniell L.
Published: April 2024

This study considers whether participation in several out-of-class high school experiences increased the odds that a student would aspire to earn a bachelor’s degree, whether these relationships were moderated by the student’s race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status, and whether these experiences, considered together, had a cumulative influence on educational aspirations. Results suggest that participation in several experiences, including science-related school programs, extracurricular activities, taking a college class, searching the Internet or reading college guides, and talking to a school counselor about going to college, increased the odds that a student will aspire to earn a bachelor’s degree. Findings also suggest a positive, linear relationship as a student increases their participation in these experiences, where participation in four or more of the high school experiences examined significantly increases students’ college aspirations.
Kur’ân’daki “ille’l-Meveddete fi’l- Kurbâ” İfadesinin Manaya Delâleti Yönüyle Çevirisi ve Yorumu Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Pak Süleyman
Published: April 2024

Kur’an lafız ve mana yönüyle Allah’ın kelamı olup içerisinde tek anlama gelen manası açık ayetler olduğu gibi birden çok anlama ihtimali bulunması bakımından anlamı kapalı ve neticede tevile müsait ayetler de mevcuttur. Birden çok anlama ihtimali olan ayetlerde sadece lafızdan hareketle anlaşılma güçlüğü bulunduğundan, anlama çabası dahilinde lafzi anlam yanında sebeb-i nuzül, Resulullah ve sahabeden gelen rivayetler gibi dış açıklamalara da ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Buna göre ayetin nuzül ortamı, muhataplar ve mekasıd yönünden geniş çerçevede değerlendirilmesi lüzumu hasıl olmaktadır. Bu ayetin yorumunda olduğu gibi ilk dönem müfessirlerinden gelen rivayetlerin sıhhat derecesi ve birbiri ile anlam uyumu ayrı bir değerlendirme gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışma Şûrâ suresi 23. ayetle ilgi yapılan yorumların dayandığı rivayetleri ve görüşleri incelemekte, buradan hareketle ayete meal verilmesine dair değerlendirmeleri içer-mekte ve ayetin Kur’an bütünlüğü üzerinden anlamını tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Tefsirlerde ayet üzerine birkaç farklı yorum yapılmakta, bunlar ağırlıkla ayetin nüzul sebebi üzerinden mekkî veya medenî oluşu ve buna delil sayılan rivayetlere, ayetin muhatabının Kureyş veya Müslümanlar olduğu gibi gerekçe-ere dayandırılmaktadır. Özellikle ayette geçen “kurbâ” kelimesinin anlamı üzerinden bu yorumların temellendirildiği görülmektedir. Bunlar esasta üç ana noktada toplanmaktadır. Resulallah’ın Kureyş’ten aralarındaki akrabalık bağına saygı gösterme talebi, akrabalara sevgi duyulması ve salih amellerle Allah’a yaklaşma sevgisidir. Şia’nın mezhebi saiklerle ayette yer alan “ille’l-meveddete fi’l-kurbâ” ifadesini Hz. Ali’nin imametine dayanak yapma yönündeki yorumunun, aşırı yorum kapsamında olduğu ve ilmi daya-naktan yoksun bulunduğu görülmektedir. Sonuçta ayetin siyak ve sibakından hareketle anlamının umum üzere alınmasının ve “kurbâ” kelimesinin de nesep yönüyle bir yakınlığı değil, Allah’a yakınlık sevgisi şeklinde anlaşılmasının daha uygun olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
