Factors Influencing Whistleblowing Intentions within Malaysian Enforcement Agencies
Authors: Tuan Abdullah Tengku Noor Maziah , Mohamed Intan Salwani , Shuhada Nazuri Siti Nur
Published: November 2024

The prevalence of corruption, particularly bribery, within enforcement agency departments poses a significant threat to national security and revenue collection. The Malaysian Enforcement Agency, despite its efforts to combat corruption, continues to grapple with this issue. The present study investigates the factors influencing the willingness of Malaysian Enforcement Agency’s officers in Selangor to be whistleblowers. The research employs a quantitative methodology, utilising a questionnaire survey to collect data from 178 enforcement officers. The findings indicate that idealism, openness to experience, and whistleblowing judgment positively influence an individual’s whistleblowing intention. However, other variables (relativism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism) were found to have no significant influence on an individual’s whistleblowing intention. This research emphasises the need to foster an environment where ethical behaviour is valued, and whistleblowers are strongly protected. This encourages reporting and helps fight corruption. The findings from this study can help develop specific actions to improve whistleblowing practices within the Malaysian Enforcement Agency and similar organisations.

Customer behaviour in a retail store using IoT & machine learning in a cloud environment
Authors: Singh Krishna Kumar , Kulkarni Mugdha Shailendra
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates the integration of machine learning and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies inside a cloud environment in retail stores. Although IoT, ML, and big data have been studied individually, their combined usefulness and efficiency research is still lacking. To fill this gap, our research suggests a strategy that uses ML-machine learning algorithms and IoT devices to improve consumer experiences and streamline operations in retail settings. This paper collects data through Internet of Things (IoT) devices with sophisticated sensing features, such as fuzzy logic, to track and examine consumer interactions, movements, and behaviours in retail settings. Hence, Product movements can be tracked via RFID-tagged product tracking, providing information about consumer preferences and the popularity of particular products. The cloud securely stores and processes the data produced by these Internet of Things devices, using big data techniques to glean insights from enormous datasets. The most frequently used ML technique is association rule mining, which extracts significant patterns and correlations from the collected data. Retailers can use this to give personalised suggestions and enhance product placement and assortment by gaining better insights into customer preferences, purchasing patterns, and product affinities. Using case studies and realworld examples, we illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of combining IoT and machine learning technology in retail environments. This research advances the field of retail analytics by offering a thorough framework for utilising emerging technologies to promote corporate growth, improve operational efficiency, and provide better consumer experiences.

Published: November 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming software testing, introducing new levels of speed, adaptability, and precision to automation frameworks. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of AI-driven testing automation frameworks, examining the unique features, advantages, and limitations of various approaches. As the demand for rapid and reliable software development grows, AI-based testing has emerged as a solution that not only streamlines test creation but also enhances error detection and improves maintenance efficiency. Frameworks powered by machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and self-healing capabilities allow teams to automate complex testing scenarios with reduced manual intervention, adapting intelligently to changes in software behavior and user interfaces.
This study outlines the main types of AI-driven frameworks, such as machine learning-based testing, robotic process automation (RPA), and NLP-driven tools, highlighting how each is suited to specific testing needs. Additionally, we explore critical factors influencing framework selection, including team expertise, project requirements, scalability, and compatibility with existing tools. A detailed analysis of trade-offs associated with each framework type helps decision-makers understand the balance between flexibility, cost, and functionality, enabling a more strategic approach to automation.
Looking forward, the paper delves into future trends shaping the field, such as autonomous testing, codeless frameworks, and AI’s role in ethical and sustainable testing practices. These advancements promise to redefine automation, making testing more accessible and impactful across diverse industries. By offering insights into both current practices and emerging trends, this paper equips software practitioners and organizations with the knowledge needed to effectively adopt AI-driven testing solutions that align with their goals and resources.
ЖАНР БИДЗИНГА В ЯПОНСКОЙ ЖИВОПИСИ НИХОНГА – ИСТОРИЧЕСКАЯ ПРОЕКЦИЯ (ИЗ СОБРАНИЯ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОГО МУЗЕЯ ВОСТОКА)
Authors: Г.Б. Шишкина
Published: November 2024

Статья посвящена семи свиткам жанра бидзинга(«живопись красавиц») из коллекции Музея Востока. Они созданы в первой трети XX в. и являются образцами новой национальной живописи – нихонга («японская живопись»), представляющей очень значимое художественное явление. Нихонга стала формироваться во второй половине XIX в. в качестве альтернативы старым традиционным живописными школам, которые находились в кризисе, будучи не в состоянии трансформироваться в соответствии с новыми общественными реалиями. В общих чертах рассматриваются основные этапы зарождения, становления и зрелости нихонга. Мастера нихонга свободно обращались к разным национальным школам, используя их стили в своих творческих поисках новых средств выразительности. Музейные свитки выполнены ведущими художниками этого направления, и дают наглядное представление об их таланте и умении синтезировать старые традиции и новые тенденции, на примере жанра бидзинга.

The article is devoted to seven scrolls of the bijinga genre (painting of beautiful women) from the collection of the Museum of the East. They were created in the first third of the 20th century and are examples of a new national painting – nihonga (Japanese painting), which represents a very significant artistic phenomenon. Nihonga began to emerge in the second half of the 19th century as an alternative to the old traditional painting schools, which were in crisis, unable to transform in accordance with new social realities. The main stages of the origin, formation and maturity of nihonga are discussed in general terms. Nihonga masters freely turned to different national schools, using their styles in their creative search for new means of expression. The museum scrolls were made by leading artists of this movement, and give a clear idea of ​​their talent and ability to synthesize old traditions and new trends, using the example of the bijinga genre.
М.Л. ТИТАРЕНКО – ЧЕЛОВЕК, КОТОРЫЙ НАВСЕГДА ОСТАЛСЯ В МОЕМ СЕРДЦЕ
Authors: Лилян. Хуан
Published: November 2024

Автор вспоминает некоторые эпизоды из жизни академика М.Л. Титаренко (1934–2016), рассказывая о нем сквозь призму своих воспоминаний, показывая его человеческие качества: добросовестность, последовательность, честность, упорство в достижении поставленных целей, добросердечность и отзывчивость. Описание атмосферы Института Дальнего Востока РАН, рабочего кабинета Титаренко, его автомобиля, костюма, как делового, так и традиционного китайского ‒ все это создает очень теплый и близкий образ выдающегося ученого, жизнь которого была наполнена чередой официальных встреч, рабочих совещаний и принятия решений на самом высоком государственном уровне. Особое место в этой статье занимает эпизод рукопожатия М.Л. Титаренко с руководителями ЦК КПК Мао Цзэдуном, Чжоу Эньлаем, Лю Шаоци во время официальной встречи весной 1957 г. в Пекине.

The Author revives some episodes from the life of Professor M.L. Titarenko (1934–2016) with the accent on his human qualities: conscientiousness, consistency, honesty, persistence, kindness and compassion. The depiction of his office in the Institute of Far East Studies of Russian Academy of Sciences, his car and even his clothes, including a traditional Chinese attire ‒ all these details create a warm and vivid image of an outstanding scholar, whose life was full of official meetings, workshops, and implied state-level decision making. Particular attention is given to an official meeting in Peking in spring 1957, during which Mr. Titarenko shaked hands with leaders of the Central Committee of Communist Party of China Chairman Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Lu Shaoqi.
«Немирный вариант» «воссоединения Тайваня с родиной»: реальная стратегия и политические спекуляции15 (Информация к размышлению). Часть 1.
Authors: С.Н. Гончаров
Published: November 2024

В статье рассматривается активно обсуждаемый в последнее время в экспертных и политических кругах вопрос о возможности применения КНР «немирного варианта» воссоединения Тайваня. Автор подходит к такой возможности на основе изучения истории и современного состояния тайваньского вопроса, позиций Пекина и Тайбэя, а также Вашингтона и других возможных участников событий, связанных с решением судьбы острова. В первой части статьи описывается процесс формирования официальной китайской позиции по этой важнейшей проблеме. На основе обширного массива документов делается вывод о том, что безусловным приоритетом для Пекина является «мирное воссоединение», и применение вооруженных сил крайне маловероятно.

The article examines the possibility of China using a “non-peaceful option” for reuniting with Taiwan which has been actively discussed in expert and political circles lately. The author approaches this possibility fundamentally, based on the study of history and current state of the ‘Taiwan issue’, the positions of Beijing and Taipei, as well as Washington and other possible participants. The fi rst part of the article describes how China’s offi cial position on this critical issue formed. Relying on a signifi cant number of documents, the article concludes that while ‘peaceful reunifi cation’ is an absolute priority for Beijing, the use of armed forces is extremely unlikely.
ИЕРОГЛИФ 快 «ПРИЯТНЫЙ» В ДИСКУРСЕ ЛИТЕРАТИ XVI–XVII ВЕКОВ
Authors: В.Б. ВИНОГРОДСКАЯ
Published: November 2024

Иероглиф 快 в значении «приятный», «доставляющий удо­вольствие», «прекрасный» употребляется издавна, но при династии Мин приобретает новые оттенки значения и коннотации. Он часто встречается в неформальной прозе «малого рода» 小品, особенно в афористическом жанре «чистых изречений» 清言, в литературной критике «критических за­мечаний» 評點, и в эпистолярных сборниках 尺牘, а также сам по себе ста­новится предметом рефлексии литерати. В XVI–XVII вв. он служит одним из опознавательных знаков дискурса «чувства» 情, наряду с такими концеп­тами как «удивительный» 奇, «безумный» 狂, «болезнь» 病, «пристрастие» 癖, «досуг/свобода от забот» 閑, «занимательный/увлекательный» 趣, и об­наруживает такие характерные для этого дискурса черты как нефор­маль­ность, неординарность и полемическая заостренность или внутренний дра­матизм. В отличие от своего синонима «радость», «радостный» 樂, «при­ятный» 快снижен и не имеет напрашивающихся антонимов. А в отличие от похожего по способу использования «занимательный/увлекательный» 趣цюй, который также тяготеет к неформальному регистру речи и служит для обобщающей оценки, значение 快размывается, он начинает исполь- зо­ваться все более расширительно, становясь эпитетом сленгового харак­тера.

The character 快with a meaning of “pleasant”, “giving pleasure”, “fine” has been used for a long time, and acquired new shades of meaning and connotations during the Ming Dynasty. It is often found in informal writing of “lesser works” 小品, especially in the aphoristic genre of “pure sayings” 清言, “critical remarks” 評點 and epistolary collections 尺牘, it also became a subject of reflection in itself. In the 16th-17th centuries the character 快 was an iden­ti­fying sign of the discourse of “feelings” 情, along with such concepts as “ama­zing” 奇, “crazy” 狂, “illness” 病, “addiction” 癖, “leisure/free from worries” 閑, “entertaining/fascinating” 趣. Their common characteristic features are an infor­mal tone and an extraordinary mood, polemical or dramatic quality. Unlike its synonym “joy”, “joyful” 樂, the “pleasant” 快 is more casual and does not have obvious antonyms. And in contrast to the “entertaining/fascinating” 趣, which is similar in use (also gravitates towards the informal speech register and serves for a general assessment), the meaning of 快 is blurred, being used more and more broadly, thus becoming a slang-like word with a very broad positive meaning.
ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННЫЙ ДУХ ПРОМЫШЛЕННЫХ РУИН СЕВЕРО-ВОСТОЧНОГО КИТАЯ
Authors: Ихэн. Ван
Published: November 2024

Данная статья посвящена осмыслению духовности ландшафта промышленных руин в разных городах на северо-востоке Китая. Феномен промышленных руин является уникальной формой искусства, ярчайшим свидетельством перехода от расцвета к упадку в индустриальной истории Китая, начиная со второй половины XIX в. Когда фабрики и заводы ветшали, физический материал превращался не только в руины, но также и в субъективную эмоциональную, духовную пустоту. В них была запечатана память поколений. Эти руины содержали в себе яркие воспоминания о трудящихся, которые испытывали чувство подлинного единения. Будучи воплощением самой сути общественного развития, руины заброшенных зданий отражают блеск былого и вскрывают пафос современности, заставляют задуматься о настоящем и будущем, но в тоже самое время обращают человека к прошлому. Как полагает автор настоящего исследования, руины олицетворяют собой социальное развитие региона, несут в себе глубинное и сокровенное содержание, обладают духом коллективизма (сам коллектив понимается как безопасное место, тихая гавань для индивида), характерного для индустриальной эпохи неоспоримой культурной ценностью и имеют важное значение для всестороннего осмысления современного общества.

This article is devoted to understanding the spirituality of the industrial ruins landscape in different cities in northeastern China. The phenomenon of industrial ruins is a unique art form, the most vivid evidence of the transition from prosperity to decline in Chinas industrial history since the second half of the 19th century. When factories and plants deteriorated, the physical material turned not only into ruins, but also into a subjective emotional, spiritual emptiness. The memory of generations was sealed in them. These ruins contained vivid memories of workers who experienced a sense of genuine unity. As the embodiment of the very essence of social development, the ruins of abandoned buildings reflect the splendor of the past and reveal the pathos of the present, make one think about the present and the future, but at the same time turn people to the past. According to the author of this study, ruins represent the social development of a region, carry deep and hidden content, possess a spirit of collectivism (the collective itself is understood as a safe place, a quiet haven for the individual), characteristic of the industrial era, an undeniable cultural value and are of great importance for a comprehensive understanding of modern society.
The Impact of Corporate Governance Mechanisms on Impression Management in Top 40 JSE-Listed Companies
Authors: Madwe Mziwendoda Cyprian , Matyana Mandisi , Oluka Alexander
Published: November 2024

Impression management in corporate reporting, which can obscure a firm’s financial position, has prompted increased focus on corporate governance mechanisms to enhance transparency and accountability. This paper investigates the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and impression management (IM) practices among the top 40 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) from 2014 to 2023. Effective governance attributes – such as board independence, board size, gender diversity, and board meeting frequency are essential in countering biases in reporting. The analysis employs a quantitative approach using a panel regression model, specifically the generalised method of moment (GMM) and fully modified least squares (FMOLS), to assess the relationship between governance mechanisms and impression management (IM). The study reveals a significant positive relationship between board independence, board size, active participation, board gender diversity and impression management tactics. These findings highlight the intricate dynamics between corporate governance and corporate communication, offering crucial insights for regulators, investors, and policymakers concerned with transparency, accountability, and ethical governance. The study addresses a gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence from a South African context and contributes to the broader discourse on corporate governance and financial reporting integrity.
Cognitive performance and stress states in vulnerable and grandiose narcissism
Authors: Maciantowcz Oliwia M. , Witowska Joanna , Zajenkowski Marcin
Published: November 2024

Background

We examined the associations between grandiose narcissism (GN), vulnerable narcissism (VN), cognitive inhibition, and task-related state responses.

Participants and procedure

Participants (N = 154; age: M = 23.60, SD = 3.71) completed measures of narcissism, performed a cognitive inhibition task (the antisaccade task), and reported stress states (distress, worry and engagement) before and after the task.

Results

The results revealed that VN was negatively linked to cognitive inhibition. Furthermore, VN predicted higher levels of dis-tress and lower levels of engagement during the task, whereas GN predicted higher engagement and lower distress.

Conclusions

These findings demonstrate a negative impact of VN on cognitive performance and stress responses during task perfor-mance. Understanding these dynamics enhances our knowledge of how narcissism may influence cognitive functioning.
Emotion regulation strategies and satisfaction with life: mediating roles of positive and negative mind-wandering
Authors: Klonowska Magdalena , Kowalczyk Marek
Published: November 2024

Background

Habitual use of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression as emotion regulation strategies has been shown to relate differently to dispositional positive and negative affect and satisfaction with life. In this study, we aimed to establish the role of affectively different forms of mind-wandering – i.e., spontaneously initiated thinking about matters unrelated to the individual’s current task and the immediate environment – in the associations between the employment of each of these strategies and life satisfaction. Our main theoretical idea was that affective consequences of employing cognitive reapprais-al and expressive suppression influence positive and negative mind-wandering, which contribute to satisfaction with life.

Participants and procedure

A convenient sample of 217 respondents (154 women) aged 19-88 (M = 44.97, SD = 17.16) filled out questionnaires as-sessing variables of interest: the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule–Trait, the Task-Unrelated Thoughts Questionnaire, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale.

Results

In the estimated PLS-SEM structural model, there were significant indirect paths leading from emotion regulation strategies to satisfaction with life through 1) positive or negative affect and positive or negative mind-wandering as sequential media-tors, 2) positive affect (over and above its associations with positive and negative mind-wandering), 3) positive and negative mind-wandering (due to their negative associations with suppression).

Conclusions

Positive and negative mind-wandering may mediate the relationships between the frequency with which individuals employ cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression to regulate emotions and their global life satisfaction.
A Polish Language Version of Wood et al.’s Authenticity Scale
Authors: Gutral Joanna , Cypryańska Marzena , Nezlek John B.
Published: November 2024

Background

There is considerable interest among personality psychologists in authenticity. To provide researchers with a tool to study dispositional authenticity among speakers of Polish, we created a Polish language version of Wood et al.’s multidimension-al measure of authenticity. Wood et al.’s measure has 12 items and measures three constructs: four items for selfalienation; authentic living; and accepting external influence.

Participants and procedure

Participants were 825 Polish adults (Mage = 42.7, SD = 15.4; 50% women) who were recruited by a professional survey com-pany. Participants completed the newly developed measure of authenticity, and for validation purposes, they completed measures of Ryff’s model of well-being, self-esteem, satisfaction with life, and stress, the same measures used by Wood et al.

Results

A confirmatory factor analysis found that the Polish version of the scale had the same three factors as the original meas-ure developed by Wood et al., and the loadings of the items on the factors were consistent with those presented by Wood et al. The three scales of the new measure were reliable. Moreover, relationships between the authenticity scales and the validation measures were similar to those reported by Wood et al.

Conclusions

The present results suggest that our proposed Polish language version of Wood et al.’s multidimensional authenticity scale measures a similar set of constructs to those measured by the original English language scale. Therefore, we believe our new measure should be useful for researchers interested in studying dispositional authenticity among Polish language speakers.
Presentation held at ISC 2024: PREDICTING COMPATIBILITY OF SEALING MATERIALWITH BIO-HYBRID FUELS: DEVELOPMENT ANDCOMPARISON OF MACHINE LEARNING METHODS
Authors:   L. Boden,   M. Hofmeister,   F. Brumand-Poor,   L. Pleninger,   K. Schmitz
Published: November 2024

Bio-hybrid fuels, derived from sustainable raw materials and green energies, offer apromising alternative to conventional fuels made of mineral oil. Within the cluster ofexcellence “The Fuel Science Center (FSC)” at RWTH Aachen, bio-hybrid fuels areinvestigated on a holistic level, including an examination of their compatibility withsealing materials. Previous time-consuming experiments revealed that many biohybrid fuels show poor material compatibility with elastomer sealing materials(e.g. NBR & FKM) leading to issues such as volume expansion, hardness alteration, orchemical reactions upon immersion. These incompatibilities could result incatastrophic failures during practical applications. Due to the high number of possiblefuels, fuel-mixtures and therefore fuel/seal combinations a solely empirical approachis impractical. Consequently, this work presents a hands-on framework of machinelearning (ML) regression models that predicts material compatibility based onexperimental results and selected fluid properties, thereby enabling the preselectionof possible fuel/seal combinations for subsequent immersion tests.

Reflexión sobre la inoperancia en la reparación de las víctimas del conflicto colombiano dentro de la política pública de justicia transicional bajo el espíritu de una paz total pregonada por el actual gobierno. Al interior de este panorama, se evidencia el engaño que los mártires han debido tolerar asociado a su frustración jurídica. No obstante, el desconocimiento de sus derechos constitucionales, se revela la posibilidad de un resarcimiento simbólico desarrollado por las mismos violentados. El estudio se perfecciona bajo la metodología de investigación acción participativa, mediante el ejercicio de lo inductivo cualitativo. El comienzo de esta preocupación es el resultado de la información más inmediata proveniente de las denuncias de prensa, televisiva y virtual, documentos oficiales y testimonios directos de las víctimas que derivaron en un nivel ontológico propio de la investigación social y científica. La propuesta de una reparación basada en las alegorías de su propia historia es una salida a sus desengaños en contraposición a su revictimización.
Falencias en el ordenamiento jurídico del genocidio en Colombia
Authors: Gómez-Granados Eduardo
Published: November 2024

A lo largo de los años, en Colombia han ocurrido numerosos genocidios cuya huella se ha reducido al dolor por la pérdida de vidas humanas, lo que ha llevado a que este crimen no haya sido objeto amplio de reflexión. La presente investigación examina el genocidio en Colombia desde una perspectiva legal y de derechos humanos, empleando un enfoque cualitativo para analizar una amplia gama de fuentes y extender la reflexión sobre el tema, así como su abordaje.      A pesar de la inclusión reciente del genocidio en la legislación colombiana, persisten dificultades en su entendimiento e interpretación. Se destaca la falta de una legislación efectiva para abordar este crimen, así como se enfatiza en la importancia de construir una memoria colectiva y garantizar la verdad, justicia, no repetición y reparación para fomentar sociedades más conscientes. Por último, se sugiere una perspectiva más amplia del fenómeno, que trascienda lo legal y aborde otras formas de alteridad, como las políticas, dentro del panorama de las víctimas del genocidio.

Notas sobre o corpo em Frantz Fanon

Sendo particularmente conhecido por conta dos seus escritos acerca da questão do colonialismo e de suas implicações para as populações periféricas, em especial para os negros, Frantz Fanon deixou um legado enquanto obra que já denunciava as mazelas que o imperialismo havia engendrado para toda uma população. Dos estudos sobre a dimensão psicológica do sujeito assimilado pela brancura, passando pelos escritos sobre a questão clínica e chegando sobre a crítica ao colonialismo no âmbito político, econômico e subjetivo, sua obra perpassa por uma série de discussões contemporâneas, donde destacamos o problema do racismo como marcador diverso. Só que, uma questão que é abordada pelo autor, mas ainda pouco explorada em literatura, diz respeito a dimensão corpórea do racismo, em especial à compreensão de corpo no texto fanoniano. O corpo negro naturalizado já era atravessado na realidade pelos maniqueísmos de branco e negro, superior e inferior e tantos outros criados pelo eurocentrismo narcísico desde a consolidação da prática da violência racial e colonial dotadas de lógica própria. Tendo isso em vista, este é um artigo que tem o objetivo de trazer notas sobre o corpo nos estudos fanonianos, crítico original a esse estado de coisas. Em poucas palavras, o que é o corpo em Fanon? Qual a dimensão da corporeidade para realização do sujeito na sociedade frente ao que se apreende de seu corpo? No intermédio disso, é proposta a hipótese de que Fanon tem dois patamares distintos em seu desenvolvimento argumentativo: o da descrição maniqueísta e o do humanismo radical. Para tanto, foi feita pesquisa bibliográfica das obras consolidadas de Fanon e da literatura especializada a seu respeito.
Em defesa de um modelo argumentativo crítico-comparativo intercultural

Published: November 2024

No presente artigo buscaremos explorar e desenvolver, as possibilidades presentes naquilo que Mbembe denominou de “vínculo entre Brasil e África”. Em vista disso, analisaremos alguns elementos da cultura africana que floresceram no Brasil, em especial, os ritos e mitos nagô, presentes no Candomblé baiano. Através dessa análise, buscaremos mostrar como, a partir de tais manifestações, os escravizados deram respostas alternativas a questões que nos são comuns e, comparativamente, podem servir de suporte crítico à maneira como o “Ocidente” lidou com os problemas ligados à filosofia política, mais especificamente, em relação às questões como territorialidade, nacionalidade e identidade.
Bir Kimsenin Başkasının Günahını Yüklenip Yüklenmeyeceğine Dair Aralarında Çelişki Bulunduğu Zannedilen Âyetlerin Anlam Bütünlüğü ve Bunların Meallere Yansıyan Boyutunun Tahlili
Authors: Pak Süleyman

Kur’an ilahi bir kelam olup ayetleri arasında çok güçlü bir anlam bütünlüğü bulunmaktadır. Ancak onun üslubuna, dil özelliklerine, nüzul ortamına ve makasıdına yabancı olanlar, bazı ayetler arasında tearuz bulunduğu kanısına varabilmektedir. Ayetler arasında zahirde görülen bu çelişki durumu bir anlama problemi olduğundan bunu gidermede bazı yöntemler sunan ve adına Müşkilü’l-Kur’ân denilen bir ilim dalı bulunmaktadır. Aslında bu meselenin zuhuru eski dönemlere kadar dayanmakta, iyi niyetle anlama çabası içerisinde olan veya Kur’ân’a ta’n etmek isteyen art niyetli kimselerin sorduğu soru ve iddialara cevap vermek üzere eserler yazıldığı görülmektedir. Bunlar içerisinde özellikle İbn Kuteybe’nin Te’vîlü müşkili’l-Kur’ân’ını zikretmek yerinde olur. Bu çalışma ayetler arasında çelişki bulunduğu zannını gidermede başvurulan yöntemlerden biri olan cem ve telif usulü çerçevesinde bir kimsenin başka birinin günahlarını yüklenip yüklenemeyeceğine dair ayetleri incelemekte ve bu konuyu meallere yansıması cihetiyle değerlendirmektedir. Bu kapsama giren ayetlerin aralarında anlam bütünlüğü bulunduğuna dair açıklamalar tefsirlerden ve bu alanda yazılmış müstakil eserlerden yararlanılarak açıklanmakla birlikte çalışmayı özgün kılan en önemli yönü bu tür ayetlerin meallere nasıl yansıdığının örnekler üzerinden tespit edilmesidir. Bu bağlamda çalışma bir yandan ayetler arasında anlam bütünlüğünün varlığını ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflerken bir yandan da meallerde ayetlerin bu anlam bütünlüğünü sağlayacak şekilde çevirisinin yapılıp yapılmadığının tespit edilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Yapılan inceleme ve değerlendirmelere göre ayetler günahın şahsiliği noktasında anlam bütünlüğü taşımakta, zahirde görülen çelişki kanısı gerekli açıklamalarla giderilmiş olmaktadır. Meallerde suçun şahsiliği ilkesini vurgulayan bir anlamanın benimsendiği görülmekle beraber bu hususta mevzubahis ayetlerin birlikte değerlendirilerek tefsiri tercüme yöntemiyle daha açık ve sade bir şekilde ifade edilmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Nitekim bu çalışma suçun şahsiliği ilkesi çerçevesinde ayetler arasında anlam bütünlüğü bulunduğunu ve burada hiçbir şekilde çelişkiden söz edilemeyeceğini ve zahirde görülen tearuz durumunun ise insan kaynaklı olduğunu göstermektedir.
