Complexity around the Colombian Childhood Cancer Law: Requirements for its Evaluation
Authors: Arias Quijano Nohora Lucia , De Salazar Ligia
Published: June 2023

Introduction: The complexity of health problems such as childhood cancer poses challenges in health care and in the evaluation of interventions. This situation is aggravated if policy makers and decision makers assume that a healthcare system works in a delimited environment with defined rules. The approach to childhood cancer in Colombia required the promulgation of a law to contribute to the reduction of mortality from this cause with implications for nursing. This study characterized its complex nature, evidenced the potential implications in its evaluation and proposed an evaluation scheme. Methods: Documentary research with related information available between the years 2010 and 2020. Bowen's guidelines for the analysis of the information were followed, the categories included were relevant actors, context, components, organizational levels involved and results. Results: The analysis of the problem made visible the influence of the social determinants of health, the interaction of multiple actors in various scenarios and a high degree of uncertainty in a complex health system. The response is a complex intervention with multiple components and actors involved at different levels to achieve the proposed results. Conclusion: Evaluating this intervention implies context-sensitive approaches, a clear definition of the problem and identification of the underlying theory necessary to achieve the expected results; Establishing its evaluability provides important inputs to reorient its scope and its transferability.

Differentiating Between Mass-forming Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Challenging Clinical Approach
Authors: Zeid Hadi A , Salfi Giuseppe , Mansour Reem , Jardak Mira N , Khan Hashim , Abuassi Mohammad , Boustany Tara , Onwuzo Somtochukwu , Boustany Antoine
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a tumor of the pancreas that has a 5-year survival rate as low as 7.8%. In cases of chronic pancreatitis, it is sometimes challenging to rule out neoplastic changes, as mass-forming pancreatitis (MFCP) that can occur secondary to long-lasting inflammation can commonly mimic the presentation of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The clinical picture, laboratory, and radiological imaging of PDAC and MFCP may sometimes overlap, resulting in a higher incidence of misdiagnosis and unnecessary surgery.
 Aim: We aim to describe the various tools available to help physicians distinguish between mass-forming chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Methods: A literature search was conducted on “PubMed” using the following terms: pancreatic carcinoma, mass-forming chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic mass. Several articles discussing imaging modalities including ultrasound, CT-scan, and MRI; and laboratory markers including cancer antigen 19–9 (CA 19-9), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), glypican-1 (GP-1), low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), and K-RAS, were reviewed.
Discussion: Despite their similar presentations, the management of MFCP and PDAC is very different. The similarity in history, clinical symptoms, and imaging findings can lead to unnecessary procedures. In this review, we examined several modalities that physicians might use to avoid any misdiagnosis.
 Conclusion: Although none of these tests alone has been shown to be superior to the others, a potential suggestion might be to use a combination of these tests to allow a reliable diagnosis.
Anti-Racist National Health Service
Authors: Shrotri Nitin , Mensah Evelyn , Chakravorty Indranil
Published: June 2023

It is beginning to be recognised beyond a cohort of social research scholars that to achieve fairness and justice in society; it is no longer enough to make noises about bias and discrimination but to take a bold anti-racist stance. The brave among scholars and influencers are urging those in power to move from window-dressing to being active anti-racists. This can have dire consequences for those making their views known. Society, including large behemoth organisations such as the UK National Health Service (NHS), does not have a legacy of protecting whistle-blowers or providing a psychologically safe space for honest discourse. Such opinion leaders are likelier to be seen as troublemakers and moved to the fringes.
 
With another reorganisation of NHS England, and also in the name of cost efficiency, a rationale is being presented to scrap the role of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) champions from the organisation. In a civic society, such moves are usually dressed up as progression or as an improvement. One such argument is that the organisation is now mature enough for the role of EDI to become ‘business as usual’, thus incorporated in the skillset of every leader. Is there any truth in such a belief? Is it safe to presume that organisations (i.e. NHS) and society are now mature enough from a social justice perspective that EDI is now a core business? This article will review the evidence and explore both sides of the hypothesis.
Peculiar Case of GMC vs Pandian
Authors: Chakravorty Indranil
Published: June 2023

This editorial reviews the recent judgement by the MPTS of Dr Pandian's apology for distress caused as an admission of guilt in a peculiar scenario where contemporaneous notes made of an examination by Dr Pandian were discounted in favour of a recall by a patient of the event- of whether a physical examination had occurred. The punitive sanction by the MPTS appears to have gone against the regulator's guidance to professionals following the Duty of Candour regulation of 2014, amending the Health & Social Care Act 2008.
The editorial reviews the construct of honesty, the prevalence of dishonesty in the profession and whether recall bias may have influenced the scenario. The background of institutional racism against minority communities believed by many in the profession to exist in the health service and the actions of the regulator are also considered in this case.

Geometry and Laplacian on discrete magic carpets
Authors: Siu Chunyin , Strichartz Robert
Published: June 2023

We study several variants of the classical Sierpinski carpet (SC) fractal. The main examples we call infinite magic carpets (IMC), obtained by taking an infinite blowup of a discrete graph approximation to SC and identifying edges using torus, Klein bottle or projective plane type identifications. We use both theoretical and experimental methods. We prove estimates for the size of metric balls that are close to optimal. We obtain numerical approximations to the spectrum of the graph Laplacian on IMC and to solutions of the associated differential equations: Laplace equation, heat equation and wave equation. We present evidence that the random walk on IMC is transient, and that the full spectral resolution of the Laplacian on IMC involves only continuous spectrum. This paper is a contribution to a general program of eliminating unwanted boundaries in the theory of analysis on fractals.

Published: June 2023

This study aims to evaluate employees (i.e., radiographers) and undergraduate students’ knowledge of Computed Tomography (CT) parameters and their impact on image quality and radiation dose. A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted at four hospitals in Medina, KSA. The survey consisted of 12 close-ended multiple-choice questions related to computed tomography technical parameters. The survey was distributed with a comprehensive explanation to the respondents, and all of the responses remained anonymous with no questions related to identity were asked. Forty respondents were included in this study. Of those, 14 students were from level eight, 11 students were from level six, nine were interns and six were employees. There was a twofold difference in the answers between undergraduate students and radiographers despite the experience gap between both groups. Students were able to answer most of the questions correctly. Only few questions sparked controversy due to the major difference of answers when both groups were compared. The understanding level of the respondents varies among students and employees, where most of the correct answers were given by the former. The main reason for this could be due to the variation in the respondents' qualification. The employees in this study were only technicians with diploma degree.
Natural Convection in a Vertical Annulus Enclosure with Longitudinal Fins
Authors: ALMANEEY SARHAN , Gari Abdullatif
Published: June 2023

Heat transfer by natural convection can be found in many thermal engineering applications. In order to improve the heat transfer, fins are used to increase the contact surface and thus the heat transfer rate. In this project, natural convection heat transfer performance in the vertical annulus enclosure was studied numerically. Software Ansys fluent was used to solve the governing equations to arrive to velocity and temperature distribution. A grid test was performed, and the model was validated with previous experimental and numerical studies. The results showed that the fins have a significant effect on the heat transfer enhancement compared to the model without fins. Afterward, a parametric study was performed to study the effects of fins number, length, thickness, and shape. Increasing fins number increases the heat transfer rate by 46%. The effect of the number of fins on the heat transfer rate corresponds with the results in the literature. Increasing fins length increases the heat transfer rate by 27%. The fin thickness has a little effect on the amount of the convection heat transfer. It was also found that square fins have the best results over circular and triangular fins. Regarding the Rayleigh number effect, increasing the Rayleigh number increases the heat transfer rate, which corresponds with the results reported in the literature.
Evaluating the Quality of Clothes and Gloves Used in the Hospitals in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Sami Abdelhalim , Al Owad Ali
Published: June 2023

In a hospital, doctors use anesthetic gases during operations. Some of these gases are explosive. If the gas escapes into the air, a tiny spark from static charge could make it explode. The reduction or avoidance of static charge in operating theatres and other rooms is necessary. The present work aims to investigate the quality of textiles in hospitals in terms of the electrostatic charge generated from the contact and separation. This can be achieved by studying the sliding of latex gloves of doctors, nurses, and other workers in hospitals against the textiles of clothes in dry working conditions.
Based on the results, the amount of static charge collected on the textile surface determines its quality. The finest grade textiles have the lowest static charge values. The static charge is created when sliding the gloves accumulates charge on the material and clothing. In dry conditions, the larger value of static charge was 240 volts, as shown on yellow clothing worn by physicians in operating theatres. For safe working in various workplaces, It's indeed necessary that pay careful attention to the particulars that impact performance in order to enhance the working environment of health care professionals. The following quality management policies and selection of textiles and clothing based on electrostatic charge is strongly advised. Hand and glove performance is extremely important for health care professionals. Glove makers, hospital administration, and health-care personnel all need to be more aware of the issues surrounding gloves. There is a need for procedures and tools that can detect issues with medical gloves.
Effects of Piston motion on the power generated by Stirling cycle machines
Authors: Hazmy Majed
Published: June 2023

This paper uses a simple model to estimate the power output of Stirling engine when giving the pistons a continuous motion with a prescribed pattern, fixed frequency, and a variable phase shift for different operational temperature ratios.  Two continuous motions patterns, sinusoidal and modified sinusoidal, have been examined against the discontinuous motion of the ideal cycle.  The power produced from engines having continuously moving pistons is lower than the power produced from the ideal cycle.  The power ratio decreases as the temperature ratio increases.  the highest produced power with a temperature ratio of 1.5, is 97% of the ideal cycle and  it occurs at a phase-shift of 81o.  Operating at ±10o off the highest power phase shift condition reduces the output power by 5-7%.  For modified sinusoidal motion, the highest output power is 88% when the phase shift is 55o.  Operating at ±10o off the maximum power phase shift condition reduces the output power by 2%.  Moreover, at the highest output phase shift condition, the power output ratio drops from 97% to 93%, for sinusoidal motion as the cycle temperature ratio changes from 1.5 to 3.  For modified sinusoidal motion, the output power drops from 88% to 78% at the highest phase shift condition.

Published: June 2023

Çokkültürlük, terim olarak ilk kez 1941 yılında kullanılmaya başlanmış olsa da günümüzde sıklıkla karşılaştığımız evrensel bir sözcüktür. Küreselleşen dünyada bugün neredeyse bütün ülkeler, kültürel anlamda çeşitlilikle karşı karşıya gelmiştir. Bu durum, uzun zamandır kendisini etnik ve kültürel açıdan homojen olarak gören Güney Kore için de geçerlidir. Homojen bir toplum özelliği taşıyan Kore, 1990 sonrası dönemde artan göçlerle birlikte çokkültürlü toplum olma yolunda ilk adımlarını atmıştır. Kore Savaşı’ndan (1950-1953) kısa bir süre sonra kendini gelişmiş ülkeler kategorisine yükselten Kore, gelişen teknolojisi ve ekonomisiyle beraber birçok yabancıyı kendine çekmeyi başarmıştır. Günümüz Kore toplumu, yabancıları çekmek için farklı alanlara ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Ülkeye gelen yabancıların büyük çoğunluğunu göçmen işçiler oluştururken bunu yabancı gelinler/damatlar takip etmektedir. Ayrıca Kore’nin eğitim sistemindeki başarısı, birçok yabancı öğrencinin yurt dışı eğitimi için Kore’yi tercih etmesinde etkili olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, Kore toplumunda yakın zamanda etkisini gösteren ve hızla artan çokkültürlülüğü meydana getiren unsurlara ve bu durumun Kore toplumu üzerindeki etkilerine değinilmiştir.
Building a publish/subscribe information dissemination platform for hybrid mobile ad-hoc social networks over android devices

Published: June 2023

Soumission à Episciences

Mobile ad-hoc social networks (MASNs) have been the subject of several research studies over the past two decades. They allow stations located in a small geographical area to be connected without the need for a network infrastructure and offer them the possibility to communicate any time anywhere. To communicate, stations regularly broadcast their interests in the form of keywords. Stations with a high degree of similarity among their keywords can communicate with each other. However, the coverage of MASNs is limited to a small geographical area, due to the limited communication range of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) stations. In this paper, we present an architecture and implementation of hybrid mobile ad-hoc social networks (MASNs coupled to infrastructure networks) of Android mobile devices for information dissemination. Stations can use the infrastructure network to communicate and rely on the mobile ad-hoc network when the infrastructure is not available.Rather than communicating synchronously as this is the case in the similar works found in the literature, in our approach, the stations communicate using a publish/subscribe communication protocol, which is perfectly suited to this type of network thanks to the decoupling in time and space it provides.

Les réseaux sociaux mobiles ad hoc (MASN) ont fait l'objet de plusieurs recherches au cours des deux dernières décennies. Ils permettent à des stations situées dans une petite zone géographique d'être connectées sans avoir besoin d'une infrastructure de réseau et leur offrent la possibilité de communiquer à tout moment et en tout lieu. Pour communiquer, les stations diffusent régulièrement leurs centres d'intérêt sous forme de mots-clés. Les stations dont les mots-clés présentent un degré élevé de similitude peuvent communiquer entre elles. Cependant, la couverture des réseaux MASN est limitée à une petite zone géographique, en raison de la portée de communication limitée des stations des réseaux mobiles ad hoc (MANET). Dans cet article, nous présentons une architecture et une mise en œuvre de réseaux sociaux mobiles ad hoc hybrides (MASN couplés à des réseaux d'infrastructure) d'appareils mobiles Android pour la diffusion d'informations. Les stations peuvent utiliser le réseau d'infrastructure pour communiquer et s'appuyer sur le réseau mobile ad hoc lorsque l'infrastructure n'est pas disponible.Plutôt que de communiquer de manière synchrone comme c'est le cas dans les travaux similaires trouvés dans la littérature, dans notre approche, les stations communiquent en utilisant un protocole de communication de type publication/abonnement, qui est parfaitement adapté à ce type de réseau grâce au découplage dans le temps et l'espace qu'il fournit.
IMMUNOMODULATING, PROPHYLACTIC, AND THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF NATURAL PHAGES IN GANGA WATER
Authors: Jhunjhunwala Bharat , Bhatnagar Rakesh , Shukla Ashutosh
Published: June 2023

The present paper explores the immunomodulating, prophylactic, and therapeutic potential of Ganga water. Ganga water is reported to have 200 isolates of phages which is ten times more than Yamuna and Narmada. This diversity of phages suggests that these may act as a wide-spectrum phage cocktail. Forty-five Volunteers administered Ganga water to themselves and assessed the change in their condition on a 1-10 Likert Scale on ten morbidities. Pre-screening or pre-selection was not done. The results were sorted according to 10 morbidities and changes
in the self-assessment were noted. The results indicate that Ganga water provides health benefits for a number of
morbidities simultaneously and could work as a wide-spectrum phage cocktail.

Every parent desire healthy progeny. So, a planned Pregnancy is much better than an unplanned one. The FEBAD
hypothesis [The Fetal Basis of Adult Disease] postulates that Prenatal insults such as nutrition or environmental
stimulation can disturb the developmental programming leading to a higher risk of disease in later life. In the
current era of a sedentary lifestyle, stress factor, alcohol intake & unhealthy environment affects the quality and
counts of sperm in male & menstruation & ovulation in females which leads to HPO (Hypothalamo-pituitary
Ovarian) dysfunction. In Ayurveda Grarbhadhan sanskar is to get a healthy progeny by improving the quality of
beej (sperm & ovum) by beej shuddi through shodhan (purification) of both parents before conception so wouldbe-parents are prepared physically & mentally for shreshtpraja. The appropriate age to marry andfor conception
is also mentioned by our acharyas. The ahar-vihar-vichar which should be followed by a female during the menstrual phase is mentioned as Rajsavalacharya by Acharya Charaka. By the first ANC visit, Organogenesis is well
underway & the interventions to avoid malformations may be too late. So, before pregnancy, it is the best time to
ensure all the factors that her body is ready for pregnancy through preparing Ritu-Shetra-Ambu-Beej as
Garbhadhan Samagri. This conceptual study aims to make people aware of pre-conceptional care as per ayurvedic rituals and regimens.
PITTALA AND ITS FORMULATIONS: A REVIEW
Authors: Ghildiyal Rolli , Mitra Shuchi , Sharma Usha , Chand Sharma Khem
Published: June 2023

Pittala is a metallic alloy known as Brass worldwide typically comprised of 66% copper and 37% zinc. The Classical texts divided Loha or Dhatus into three categories i.e., Shudh Loha, Puti Loha, and Mishra Loha. Pittala is
popularly categorized under Mishra Loha. As per the description available in Rasa Granthas, Pittala constitutes of
Tamra (Copper) and Yashada (Zinc) in a 2:1 proportion. Pittala is processed into Bhasma through the Shodhana
and Marana processes. Its ethnomedicinal use is in Raktapitta, Krimi, Kushta, and Pandu Roga. Very few literary
studies on Pittala are currently available. Pittala Bhasma retains the property of both Tamra (copper) and Yashada (zinc). It has Tikta Rasa (bitter taste), and its Virya (potency) is either Ushna (hot) or Sheeta (cold), which depends on the variety of Pittala and the diversity of drugs used in the process to make Bhasma. It is also a constituent in several formulations, including Pittala Rasayana, Meghnada Rasa, Ratna Prabha Vati, Shadanana Rasa,
Swarna Sindooram, and Ekadashayas Rasa. These formulations are utilized in diseases like Jwara, Keeta, Stri
Roga, Snayu Roga, Urustambha, and as well as Rasayana.

Agni comprehends the various factors which participate in and direct the course of digestion and metabolism in a
living organism. Vitiated Agni is the root cause for the disease manifestation. Kayachikitsa, which is defined as
Kayasya Antar Agni Chikitsa(Kaya-sareera and Antar Agni-Jataragni / Pachakapitta) emphasize the importance
of Agni in disease management. AGNI/Pitta is the Vital sustaining force behind all life activities, and it maintains
the quality of life and results in Niraamaya Jeevanam/disease-free life. So, Agni is considered as the main
component in determining the line of treatment in Kayachikitsa, and maintaining the Agni in equilibrium state is its
main motto The present paper deals with the objective assessment of Dehaagni, Dehaagni hetus and the companions
of the Agni, levels of Agni dushti or the vitiation of Agni, its symptoms, nidana and management at the level of
Agni dusti.
DETERMINANTS OF OUTCOME OF AYURVEDA STUDIES AND ANUBANDHA
CHATUSHTAYA - A REVIEW
Authors: .G. L Dileep , .R Jishnu , .J Remya
Published: June 2023

Anubandha Chatushtaya is an essential part of any writing. It is about the four factors, which were considered
while making a scripture for an expected outcome. It is supposed that these factors first appeared with this terminology in Vedanta textbooks. The theme of a treatise, its objective, the target audience, and their interrelationships, are the four determinants of writing/outcome of literature. According to Vedanta, a competent learner
learned from qualified teachers with the help of authentic treatises in a good manner and reaches the goal, of liberation (Moksha). Likewise in Ayurveda, a capable student well versed with authentic knowledge of Ayurveda
and skilled through experience will become a qualified Physician. The real science is safe in the hands of such
expert Physicians. From the very first chapter of Charaka Samhita itself, it emphasised the need of maintaining
real physicians as well as avoiding quacks and little learned. It is to preserve the value of science and real practice.
Some of the Ayurveda classical textbooks have descriptions of the factors of Anubandha Chatushtaya. But the
term Anubandha Chatushtaya is not used for these factors. Therefore, we explored ancient Ayurveda literature for
the descriptions regarding factors of Anubandha Chatushtaya. The descriptions of the qualities of students, teachers, textbooks, the learning methods, and the definition and utility of Ayurveda are some of them we found.
Moreover, we found that these factors with utmost perfection are necessary for the prosperity of Ayurveda.
A LITERATURE REVIEW ON DIFFERENT TYPE OF VATAVYADHI W.S.R. MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDER
Authors: Dinesh Sahu , Aruna Ojha , Rashmi Diwan , Jeewan Lal Sahu , Jaylata Sahu
Published: June 2023

The notion of vatavyadhi must first be understood in order to comprehend ayurvedic musculoskeletal problems.
Additionally highlighted were the conditions or phases in which they take place as well as the associated signs
and symptoms. Giving analgesic, or pain-relieving treatment, has been done instead of achieving any satisfactory
results in terms of curing or at least providing respite. A concerted attempt has been made to help all eager readers
first comprehend and then determine the correct diagnosis of a patient with MSD. The secret to a successful diagnosis is an in-depth understanding of the differential diagnosis. Though it was common in ancient times,
vatavyadhi is given the top priority in the Ayurvedic classics, and it is becoming more so today as technology advances. People used to move towards urbanization and use technology, but instead of making life more comfortable, this created a hectic existence and distracted people from sustaining the Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Sadvrita,
and other important systems, which raises the rate of Vatavyadhi. Despite the fact that the signs and symptoms of
various diseases are the same in Ayurvedic texts, they alter in current times due to changing lifestyles.
REVIEW OF THE CONCEPT OF VYADHIKSHAMATWA
Authors: Garge Kshitij , Kshitij Garge Revati , Kate Shrikant
Published: June 2023

Ayurveda had advocated adhering to concepts like Dina charya, ritu charya, sadvritta, and na vega dharan for
disease prevention. These measures are valuable in forestalling the way of life-related illnesses however for forestalling the Aupsargika rogas (transferable illnesses), Janapada dhwansa rogas (pandemic illnesses), Krimij Roga (Irresistible sicknesses), Asatmyaj roga (unfavourably susceptible problems), the idea of Vyadhikshamtva is
proliferated by the Ayurvedic science.1 Vyadhikshamatva is a compound word made up of the syllables Vyadhi
and Kshamatva. The meaning of the term "vyadhi" is "to hurt, to injure, to harm or cause damage. Kshamatva
implies remaining calm, repressing wrath, remaining silent, or resisting. Thus, the phrase signifies being persistent in fighting the illness. 2
As indicated by the idea of Ojas or Vyadhikshamatva or Bala (insusceptibility), the
body's opposition is vital in the day-to-day government assistance of living creatures for sickness counteraction as
well as for fast recuperation after illness hardship.3 Ayurveda argues that strengthening the immune system is a
natural way to aid the body's fight against disease-causing pathogens because prevention is just as important as
treatment in disease management. Rasayana, or rejuvenation, was advocated by Acharyas for improving ojas and
vyadhikshamatva, or immunity. This article aims to present Vyadhikshamatva concepts from Ayurveda.

Published: June 2023

لقد تميز منهج الإمام الصفدي –رحمه الله تعالى- بقبوله للعقل والنقل كدليلين أساسيين في الدين، وباستشهاده من التوراة والإنجيل مع اعتقاده بتحريفهما، وهذا المنهج يُظهر الحاجة الماسة إلى دراسة الدخيل في تفسيره، فجاءت هذه الدراسة مبينة للدّخيل في هذا التفسير. والهدف الرئيس الذي سعى البحث لتحقيقه هو: بيان الدّخيل في تفسير كشف الأسرار وهتك الأستار للإمام الصفدي من سورة الأنعام أنموذجاً. واعتمد الباحث في هذه الدراسة على المنهج الاستقرائي التحليلي؛ لتتبع مواضع الدخيل في تفسير الإمام الصفدي، ثم المنهج الاستنباطي؛ لاستخراج أنواع الدخيل التي تم الوقوف عليها. وكان من أهم نتائج هذه الدراسة: أن تفسير الإمام الصفدي يعد من أنفس كتب التفسير، إذ يتميز بغزارة المادة العلمية، وقد حوى تفسيره فوائد جمة لا توجد مجموعة في كتاب واحد، وأيضًا اعتناء الإمام الصفدي بالإسرائيليات في تفسيره وأكثر من إيراده لها، وذلك من خلال نصوص التوراة والانجيل المقتبسة، وأيضًا قلة إيراد الإمام الصفدي لما أُثر عن النبي ﷺ من الحديث، وكذلك أقوال السلف من الصحابة والتابعين. هذا وإن الإمام الصفدي يرى ضرورة القول بالرأي والأخذ به في تفسير كلام رب العالمين، وقد تناولت الدراسة ثمانية أمثلة مما يعد دخيلاً تم تنقيته من تفسير الإمام الصفدي، من خلال سورة الأنعام، مبينية وجه الدخيل فيها، ودراسته دراسة علمية.

أثر السياق القرآني في تخصيص عموم القرآن عند المحقق الخليلي آية التحريم في سورة الأنعام أنموذجاً

ملخص البحث 

يعد المحقق سعيد بن خلفان الخليلي من العلماء الذين يقصدهم العامة والخاصة من أهل العلم وطلابه في القرن الثالث عشر الهجري من داخل القطر العماني وخارجه، وذلك لتوضيح ما استشكل عليهم من فهم آيات الكتاب العزيز. ولقد كان في كثير من أجوبته يفسر الآيات مستنداً على السياق القرآني، فالمتأمل يجد كتابه تمهيد قواعد الإيمان قد احتوى على كثير من الآيات التي فسرها ورفع ما اشتبه على الأفهام منها. لكن المشكل في الموضوع أن هذه التفاسير المتناثرة في الكتاب لم تعن بالبحث والتحليل والوقوف على منهج المحقق في تفسيرها وتوضيحها. لذا أتى هذا المقال ليقف على آية من آيات سورة الأنعام وهي آية التحريم انتهج المحقق منهج السياق القرآني في رفع اللبس عنها، وتخصيص العموم فيها، وقد تبنى الباحثان في هذا المقال المنهج الاستقرائي والتحليلي للوصول إلى نتائج مهمةً، منها على سبيل المثال: أن للسياق القرآني بنوعيه الداخلي والخارجي أثراً بارزاً في تخصيص العموم، وبيان المجملات، وترجيح المحتملات، ودفع ما يتوهم أنه تعارض بين الآيات.

ABSTRACT

In the thirteenth century AH, students inside and outside of Oman sought the advice of Sheik Saeed bin Khalfan Al Khalili to help them understand certain Qur'anic verses that they were having trouble comprehending. In many of his answers, he explained the verses based on the Qur’anic context as shown in his book “Tamhid Qawaeid Elliman” which contains many interpretations on that basis. However, these scattered explanations in the book were not concerned with research, analysis, and reliance on the scholar's approach in interpreting and clarifying them. Therefore, this article examines Sheik Saeed's approach in using the Qur'anic context to clarify misunderstandings of the Prohibition Verse in Surah Al-An'am as well as the allocation of the commons. Employing an inductive and analytical approach, researchers achieve several significant conclusions including that both internal and external Qur'anic contexts have an essential role in the allocation of the commons, summary explanation, possibilities outweighing as well as disputing any false motion that verses are in opposition
