Excitation-Contraction Coupling and Excitation-Transcription Coupling in Blood Vessels: Their Possible Interactions in Hypertensive Vascular Remodeling
Authors: MISÁRKOVÁ E. , BEHULIAK M. , BENCZE M. , ZICHA J.
Published: February 2020

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) display considerable phenotype plasticity which can be studied in vivo on vascular remodeling which occurs during acute or chronic vascular injury. In differentiated cells, which represent contractile phenotype, there are characteristic rapid transient changes of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), while the resting cytosolic [Ca2+]i concentration is low. It is mainly caused by two components of the Ca2+ signaling pathways: Ca2+ entry via L-type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels and dynamic involvement of intracellular stores. Proliferative VSMC phenotype is characterized by long-lasting [Ca2+]i oscillations accompanied by sustained elevation of basal [Ca2+]i. During the switch from contractile to proliferative phenotype there is a general transition from voltage-dependent Ca2+ entry to voltage-independent Ca2+ entry into the cell. These changes are due to the altered gene expression which is dependent on specific transcription factors activated by various stimuli. It is an open question whether abnormal VSMC phenotype reported in rats with genetic hypertension (such as spontaneously hypertensive rats) might be partially caused by a shift from contractile to proliferative VSMC phenotype.

Published: February 2020

Background and objectives: To evaluate whether sinus augmentation, using a minimally invasive implant device, via a non-submerged surgical approach, might negatively influence the outcome. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted by evaluating patients’ files, classifying them into two groups. Fifty patients (22 men 28 women) were included in the study, 25 in each group. The use of an implant device based on residual alveolar ridge height for sinus augmentation, radiographic evaluation, insertion torque, membrane perforation, post-operative healing, and a minimum of 12 months follow-up were evaluated. Results: The mean residual alveolar ridge height was 5.4 mm for the non-submerged group and 4.2 mm for the submerged group. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications (including membrane perforations). The mean insertion torque was 45 N/cm for the study group and 20 N/cm for the control group. Complete soft tissue healing was observed within three weeks. Mean bone gain height was 8 mm for the study and 9.3 mm for the control group. All implants osseointegrated after 6–9 months of healing time. Mean follow-up was 17.5 months, range 12–36 months. Marginal bone loss at last follow-up was not statistically significantly different: 1 mm in the non-submerged vs. 1.2 mm in the submerged group. Conclusions: Submerged and non-submerged healing following maxillary sinus augmentation was comparable provided residual alveolar ridge height >5 mm and insertion torque >25 N/cm.

Authors: Yalfani Ali , Asgarpour Azadeh , Raeisi Zahra
Published: February 2020

Background and aims: The "postural control" is one of the important abilities to maintain body balance especially during upright stances which is a basic requirement in human life. The role of proprioception in the ankle joint function is essential to maintain balance and function correctly during gate and upright stances. Fatigue is one of the essential factors disrupting the proprioception. The purpose of the present study was to compare effective interventions on plantar and ankle proprioception in balance control with and without fatigue. Methods: Twenty female college students participated in this study. The participants taped the ankle or wore three types of insoles (i.e., normal, 10-degree lateral, and medial wedge) before and after using a fatigue protocol with and without visual information. Their static and dynamic balance was evaluated by the Biodex Balance System (BBS). Data analysis was performed employing the SPSS software. Besides, the significance level was considered at 0.05. Results: The results indicated that application of wedge insoles was associated with a significant reduction of postural sway during static balance position. In addition, the 10-degree lateral wedge insole had a greater effect for improving the balance of non-visual position after using the fatigue protocol. However, there were no significant differences between taping and insole types regarding improving the dynamic balance. Conclusion: Generally, it was inferred that wedge insoles could be used to improve the static balance with and without fatigue. However, Kinesio tape had no effect on static balance. Moreover, results regarding the effectiveness of the studied interventions in relation to the dynamic balance improvement were not significant.

Authors: Niha Mahdiyeh Mirnam , Salehi Barough Mehdi
Published: February 2020

Background and aims: Gamma radiation is widely being used in medical-imaging centers. The aim of this study was to measure possible alterations in serum zinc and selenium levels among nuclear medicine staff. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 30 nuclear medicine staff as well as on 10 individuals as the control group. Blood samples (20 mL) were obtained from the participants and the serum specimens were isolated by centrifugation at 4000 rpm for 7 minutes. The samples were then used for measurement of zinc and selenium levels. Zinc and selenium levels were measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) with a graphite furnace. The mean serum levels of zinc and selenium were compared using SPSS. Results: The mean level of zinc in the radiated group (70.91±14.46 μmol/L) was significantly lower than that in the control group (89.75±17.35 μmol/L) (P=0.002). A negative significant correlation was found between the duration of exposure to radiation and zinc levels (P=0.005). Furthermore, a negative significant relationship was observed between the mean radiation dose after 5 years and zinc concentration (P=0.019). Non-significant difference was found in the mean level of selenium between control (1.71±0.35 μmol/L) and radiation (2.13±1.12 μmol/L) groups. Furthermore, no significant correlation was found between selenium level and exposure time. Conclusion: Based on the results, declined level of zinc can be considered as one of the possible mechanisms caused by gamma radiation on cells which may be associated with oxidative damage. Therefore, zinc therapy can be helpful for those who work at medical radiation centers; however, it merits further studies.

Authors: Abdolahi Ali , Khodavandi Alireza
Published: February 2020

Background and aims: Staphylococcus aureus is considered as a frequent cause of infections. Therefore, antibacterial agents including β-lactam are normally used to treat these infections while the emergence of antibiotic resistance is one of the major clinical problems in this respect. Accordingly, combination antibacterial therapy is one way to alleviate this problem. As a result, the present study aimed to investigate the combined effects of vancomycin and methicillin on clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillinsensitive S. aureus (MSSA). In addition, a series of follow-up studies were performed to evaluate the antibacterial activity. Methods: The current cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 hospitalized patients from various clinical samples such as pus/wound swabs, blood, urine and sputum during a 6-month period in 2017. To this end, the antibacterial activities of vancomycin and methicillin, alone and in combination were investigated against MRSA and MSSA. Eventually, the inhibitory effects of vancomycin and methicillin alone and in combination were studied on the growth profile of MRSA and MSSA, as well as the expression of mecA gene. Results: Based on the results, the significant synergistic and partial synergistic activity with fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) and fractional bactericidal concentration (FBC) indexes ranged from 0.27-0.938 and 0.313-0.844, respectively, in the combination of vancomycin and methicillin in MRSA and MSSA isolates. Further, the obtained data indicated that the combination of vancomycin and methicillin had a synergistic effect against MRSA isolates (P<0.01). The expression levels of the mecA gene were down-regulated by 5.25- fold in the combination of vancomycin and methicillin in MRSA isolate (P<0.001). Conclusion: In general, these events may reflect the potential uses of vancomycin and methicillin combination against MRSA. However, a greater understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of vancomycin and methicillin in combination could contribute to the development of therapeutic strategies.

Published: February 2020

Background and aims: Selection in the management arena is examined from a variety of dimensions and is based on the type of activity of the organization, the selection of the place of activity, as well as the selection of staff and management. The present study aimed to provide a theoretical framework and paradigmatic model of individual constructs of managers, staff, and elites of Shahrekord and Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in selecting competency based on the merit. Methods: The results of the data analysis were presented based on the coding triple stages, and more than 168 meaningful propositions and 128 corresponding concepts were extracted in the open coding step. Subsequently, 16 subcategories were obtained from these meaningful propositions. These categories had a conceptual relationship with each other and could be easily categorized. In the central coding step, by a more precise examination and linkage between the concepts, five subcategories were derived including scientism, skill and technological capability, pragmatism, networks and communication skills, and organizational efficiency. Results: With more abstraction of these categories in selective coding, a core category was described as "Choosing the managers based on the merits of the scientism of managers with technological skills and abilities that, with the pragmatism strategy, in addition to network expansion and communication skills, lead to increased organizational efficiency." It appears that it can cover all the other categories. Conclusion: In general, the structural equation modeling model was able to validate the developed native model, and in this regard, the native model was validated for choosing the managers based on their competency in Shahrekord and Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

Published: February 2020

Background and aims: Hypertension is one of the most common and important risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. This phenomenon, if not cured, causes lots of problems in vital organs of the body like kidneys, brain, eyes, and heart. The aim of the current study was to identify factors which affect the time until myocardial infarction (MI) in hypertension patients using truncated Cox regression. Methods: This study was a population retrospective cohort and its statistical population included patients with hypertension symptoms, who had MI for the first time in Sari. A decision was made based on continuing the study as a nested case and control study because the number of MI incidents was low (7%) in the studied sample. In addition, the Cox’s model and truncated Cox were used for determining the factors affecting the patients’ survival. Results: The median and mean survival times in this sample were equal to 57 and 66.44 months, respectively. Considering time truncation, family history (HR=1.70) and the age at diagnosis (HR=0.99) were statistically significant in the Cox’s model (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Overall, using the Akaike criterion for comparing the survival time without the effect of truncation, the Cox’s model demonstrated better fitness by controlling the truncation effect. These results show the importance of controlling the truncation in those diseases in which it is impossible to distinguish the time of the appearance from the symptoms.

The Dissolved Non-organic Phosphorous Content in the Water of the Kuybyshev Reservoir
Authors:   Selezneva A.V., Bespalova K.V., Seleznev V.A.
Published: February 2020

The intra-year variability of dissolved non-organic phosphorous content under the Kuybyshev Reservoir anthropogenic euthrophication conditions has been investigated on the basis of many-year observations. The observations were conducted on the Volga River during the 2000–2015 period in the vicinity of the Zhiguly Dam. The Kutbyshev Reservoir is located upstream from the dam and the Saratov Reservoir is located downstream. It has been stated that the phosphorous content in water has a pronounced seasonal variation while the amplitude of within-year fluctuations of the phosphorous content depends on the intensity of algae mass growth process. In comparison with 1950s the amplitude of within-year fluctuations of the phosphorous concentration has increased significantly and currently it is 0.001–0.0149 mgR/dm3, this confirms the fact of the Kuybyshev Reservoir anthropogenic euthriphication process intensification. It has been found that the seasonal changes in the phosphorous and chlorophyll «a» concentrations are in anti-phase. As soon as the phosphorous concentration becomes less than 0.010 mgR/dm3, algae growth stops. Thus, phosphorous dissolve in water is a critical factor of the algae growth in the reservoir water. Decrease of the phosphorous concentration in the Volga water will enable to mitigate intensity and duration of the water blooming period in the Kuybyshev Reservoir but for this end it is necessary to restrain the non-organic phosphorous input to the reservoir from point and diffuse pollution sources.

Authors:   K.A. Kuzmina, I.A. Kuzmina, Y.S. Krivina
Published: February 2020

The object of the study were three different in their hydrological characteristics, as well as the degree of anthropogenic load on them (in the form of sewage from the adjacent territory), the area of the water area of the Volga reaches of the Kuibyshev Reservoir, where there are deposits of nonmetallic building materials. Studies were conducted during the vegetation period 2014-2015. They included physical/chemical studies and studies of the state of zooplankton. Total 311 samples of zooplankton were collected and processed. During the study, 30 species of zooplankton organisms were recorded: 7 species of Rotifera, 7 species of Copepoda and 16 species of Cladocera. The richest in terms of the quantitative diversity of species was No. 3 site. Prevalent in terms of number and biomass of organisms – site number 1. Quantitative indicators of zooplankton were observed in 2015 compared to 2014. This is explained by the fact that 2014 was warmer than 2015. The oxygen regime of 2014 was also better than that of 2015. The turbidity of water in 2014 was below the turbidity of water in 2015, the quality of water in the second year of research deteriorated compared to the first in a number of indicators, such as COD, compounds copper, zinc, manganese, oil products. The mid-vegetation indexes of saprobity for the indicated observation period make it possible to attribute these sections of the Volga reach of the Kuibyshev reservoir to the β-mesosaprobic zone, which corresponds to the third class of water quality - moderately polluted water. Proceeding from the obtained values of the Shannon and Pielu indices, the zooplankton of the studied sections of the Volga reaches of the Kuibyshev reservoir has a rather low species richness with a rigid type of dominance, which characterizes it as mesotrophic. The ratio of groups of organisms and the dominance of individual species indicates a deterioration in water quality over a two-year period of research, which is confirmed by the research conducted by the Federal State Unitary Enterprise «UGMS RT».

Content of Nutrients in the Lakes of the Onon-Torey Depression during the Period of Climatic Fluctuations
Authors:   G.T. Tsybekmitova, M.O. Matveeva
Published: February 2020

Using the example of brackish and saline lakes in South-Eastern Transbaikalia, the influence of low-water and high-water years on the ecological status of steppe lakes is considered. Cyclic fluctuations in climatic conditions at intervals of 27-35 years cause consistent filling and drying of lakes. The abiotic conditions associated with climatic fluctuations, as well as the intensity of the biochemical and biological processes taking place in the ecosystem, the level of organic matter introduced from the catchment area, determine the dynamics of nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the aquatic environment. On the basis of generally accepted hydrochemical methods, the change in the content of nitrogen and phosphorus, organic substances in the ecosystem of a number of lakes of the Onon-Torey basin (Bain-Tsagan, Tsagan-Nor, Yaksha, Naryn-Bulak, Ara-Torum, Batuy, Bain-Bulak, Balyktui, Ukshinda) was investigated and residual lakes of the Barun-Torey lake basin) in order to clarify the state of the lakes during the transitional period of low-water and high-water years. An assessment of the dynamics of physicochemical parameters revealed that climatic conditions (aridization or humidification) determined mineralization. In dry years (1983-86, 2018), the processes of evaporative concentration of salts became essential. In this regard, the mineralization is almost doubled and reaches up to 7 g / l. The interannual dynamics of nitrogen and phosphorus was characterized by a large amplitude of concentration fluctuations. A low content of total phosphorus in 1983, 1986 (low-water period) increases by 2011, with a decline by 2018. A large amplitude of fluctuations of the parameters studied is associated with the level of accumulation of organic matter in the bottom sediments of lakes of organic matter in low-water years. In the high-water years, the investigated lakes were of fishery importance. In 2018, due to a decrease in the water surface area and an increase in water salinity, the fish fauna was not found in these lakes. Conducted research is necessary for planning water use of lakes.

Published: February 2020

The article considers characteristics (layer, duration, and intensity) of rainfall in Maritime region, as well as their spatial/temporal distribution. We quote the following data: typification of rains (layer, duration, and intensity) in the course of time; indicators of precipitation reduction by area and time; long-term data on floods in Maritime region. An analysis of the conditions of the formation of rain depending on the synoptic processes, the geographical location of the rainfall area and the characteristics of the underlying surface has been made. A version of the model for the precipitation conversion into runoff is proposed.
Water Availability and Lake Fund of Water Deficit Regions
Authors:   Izmailova A.V.
Published: February 2020

Despite the significant amount of water resources, Russia is characterized by their uneven distribution over the territory. As a result, a number of regions are characterized by low water availability, due to both physiographic factors and the specifics of the settlement and economic development of the country. This article presents the specific water availability evaluation data calculated for all constituent entities of the Russian Federation, taking into account the resources of both river and lake waters. The calculation of water availability due to lake waters is based on new assessment data on lakes water resources, carried out at the Institute of Limnology, Russian Academy of Sciences. On the basis of the obtained values of water availability, the regions of the greatest water deficit are outlined and their lake fund is estimated. At present almost 60% of the population of Russia lives in regions with low and medium water availability, including about 20% in regions where water availability is characterized as “very low” and “catastrophically low”. Most of these regions belong to the zone of insufficient moisture, however, a number of regions of the zone of sufficient moisture also experience excessive pressure on water resources due to high population. Most of the regions with low and medium water availability have significant reserves of water contained in artificial reservoirs, the total volume of which exceeds 100 km3. In addition, a number of regions also have significant reserves of lake water, including fresh water. Lakes located in the zone of insufficient moisture and characterized by low water availability contain a total of ~ 37 km3 of water, including ~ 20 km3 of fresh water. At the zone of sufficient moisture in the lakes of regions with low water availability ~ 2.4 km3 of fresh water is contained.

The article presents a technique of the granulated sorption material production based on the chemical water treatment slurry. The sorption has been studied in statical and dynamic conditions. The sorption effectiveness by copper ions was 90.5 %. The isotherm of adsorption and a curve of adsorption in dynamic conditions of cations of copper has been plotted by the granulated material. During the experiment the dynamic exchange capacity, full exchange capacity of the granulated material has been determined. The filtrate quality indicators in water passage through sorption material loads in accordance with MPC of domestic drinking and recreational purposes water bodies. The granulated sorption material extract was tested for acute lethal toxicity for Poecilia Reticulate Peters fish and Daphnia Magna Crustacea. The obtained results affirmed that the granulated sorption material was not practically hazardous and did not bring secondary pollution to wastewaters. The authors have presented a technological scheme of electroplating wastewaters ion-exchange treatment.

Authors:   T.A. Meshchurova, M.B. Khodyashev
Published: February 2020

The article describes relationship between indicators of the incidence of gastric cancer in the Perm Krai and generalized indicators of pollutants’ discharge to surface water bodies. The work uses data from the annual reports of the Perm Kray on the status of cancer care, environmentl status and protection. A correlation between them with a period of 4 years was revealed. The incidence of gastric cancer in the period from 2010 to 2017 correlate with the amount of pollutant discharges into water bodies from 2006 to 2013. The correlation coefficient was r = 0.75 (high correlation). In the study of the relationships, the duration of the latent period of carcinogenesis was taken into account. Analysis of the values of discharges of pollutants with wastewater into water bodies for the period from 2006 to 2013 showed that the number of discharges increased by 2007, then until 2010 a decrease was observed, and then in 2011–2013 there is a tendency to increase the mass of discharges of pollutants. The time relationship of gastric cancer incidence rates with the number of pollutant discharges into water bodies, with an interval T between them equal to 4 years, is graphically shown. A relationship was found between a disease of gastric cancer and the environmental situation (the value of discharges of pollutants into water bodies), that is, the quality of the environment. The incidence is reduced following a decrease in the amount of pollutants discharged into water bodies in the Perm Kray.
مفهوم الرسول والنبي
Authors: الخطاف حسن
Published: February 2020

يمثل مفهوما الرسالة والنبوة صلة الله تعالى بخلقه، وهما منحة منه عزَّ وجلَّ؛ إذ ذكرهما وذكر ما يتَّصل بهما أكثر من مئتي مرة بأساليب عدَّة. وقد أسهمت هذه الكثرة في إشعال جذوة الخلاف بين المتكلمين، ومَن سار على إثرهم من المفسرين الذين حاولوا تحديد المراد بهذين المفهومين: هل يؤديان معنىً واحداً بحسب جمهور المعتزلة؟ هل يوجد اختلاف بينهما مثلما يقول جمهور أهل السُّنة؟ تَبيَّن لنا أنَّ الدراسة المسْحية للنصوص القرآنية لم تُؤخذ في هذه التوجُّهات بالاعتبار، فجاء هذا البحث ليسدّ هذه الثغرة انطلاقاً من دلالات النص القرآني وسياقاته بعد الكشف عن نظر المتكلمين ومَن سار معهم في هذه المسألة، وخلُص إلى عدم وجود اختلاف بين مفهومي الرسول والنبي.

Prophethood and Messengership are considered a link between God and His creation. The two terms and what is related to them have been mentioned in the Gracious Qur’an more than two hundred times in several ways. This fact has sparked a controversy among theologians and later among exegetes to explain what is meant by both terms; are messenger and prophet synonyms as argued by the majority of the Mu'tazilites? Or is there a difference between them as argued by the majority of Ahlu Al-Sunnah? No exhaustive survey of the Quranic text has been conducted for this purpose. This study comes to fill this gap, based on the Qur’anic text and context. The conclusion was that there is no difference between the concept of the Prophet and the concept of the Messenger.
مراجعة لكتاب التوحيد ومضامينه في الفكر والحياة
Authors: القِيّام عمر حسن

يُمثِّل كتاب "التوحيد ومضامينه في الفكر والحياة" سردية أكاديمية عميقة التكوين والبِنية، بحيث تصطفُّ بأصالة واقتدار إلى جانب سرديات التوحيد الكبرى التي تبلورت عبر مسيرة الإسلام التاريخية، بَدءاً بالإمام البخاري (توفي 256ه) الذي ختم كتابه "الجامع الصحيح" بكتاب التوحيد، وانتهاءً بإسماعيل الفاروقي (توفي 1986م) الذي كتب هذه السردية المتينة لقصة التوحيد بإحساسِ شهيدٍ تتجسَّدُ فيه جميعُ معاني الكرامة الإنسانية المستمدة من الاستخلاف الإلهي للإنسان، مروراً بغيرِ واحدٍ من أعلام الإسلام الذين نهضوا بأعباء بيان حقيقة التوحيد، والكشف عن محتواه النوراني ومقتضياته العملية، والردِّ على شبهات المخالفين ممَّن تفرَّقوا أحزاباً وشِيَعاً، واستعرَتْ بينهم نيران الخلاف والاختلاف، وأراقوا كثيراً من المِدادِ حين تنكَّبوا الطريق السوي، واستلهموا غير ينابيع القرآن الصافية، وأعرضوا عن أنوار الهدي النبوي الرشيد.

وهي سردية صافية المشارب، واضحة الملامح، رَحْبَة الأفق، مُرهَفة الأداة، تستلهم القرآن الكريم مصدراً أوَّلَ في بناء العقيدة الصحيحة، وتجعل السُّنة الشريفة الثابتة بياناً لمقاصد القرآن، وتجوسُ ببصيرة نافذة ذكية بين سرديات الأديان الكبرى (اليهودية، والمسيحية، والبوذية، والهندوسية)، وعقائد المصريين واليونان وبلاد الرافدين، وتشتبك ...

مقاصد القرآن في تزكية الإنسان
Authors: النجار عبد المجيد
Published: February 2020

اتّجهت الجهود التي بُذلت في بيان تزكية الإنسان في أغلبها إلى تزكية الإنسان في بُعده الفردي، ولم يكن لتزكية الإنسان في بُعده الجماعي إلا الحظّ اليسير، كما اتّجه أغلبها في تزكية الفرد إلى بُعده الروحي تصفيةً بالفضائل والعبادات، وترويضاً للنفس على كبح الشهوات واكتساب الفضائل، وكلُّ ذلك كان في الغالب من أجل الخلاص الفردي في يوم الحساب، وكان عند البعض مقترناً بهجران مشاغل الدنيا، والقعود عن أيّ كسبٍ ماديٍّ فيها.

ولا نرى أنَّ التزكية كما جاء التوجيه إليها في القرآن الكريم تقفُ عند هذا الحدِّ الذي انتهى إليه الأكثرون في هذا الشأن، وإنما هي تتجاوز البُعد الفردي في الإنسان إلى البُعد الجماعي فيه، وتتجاوز البُعد الروحي إلى الأبعاد الفكرية والعملية، وتتجاوز هدف الخلاص الفردي في يوم الحساب إلى التعمير في هذه الدنيا التي هي مزرعة الآخرة. وهذه الأبعاد هي التي حاول هذا البحث بيانها استكمالاً للمفهوم الشامل للتزكية كما جاء في القرآن الكريم وفي السنة الشريفة.

Most efforts made in explaining the purification of Man tended to address purification of the individual dimension, not the society. It also tended mostly to purify the spiritual dimension through acquiring virtues and worship and self-restraint to curb whims and self-desires for the sake of individual salvation in the Day of Judgment. Some people would associate this trend with the abandonment of worldly issues and giving up any material gain.

Purification as instructed in the Holy Quran does not stand at the above mentioned points. Purification transcends the individual dimension to the collective one, and the spiritual dimension to the intellectual and practical. It also transcends the purpose of individual salvation in the hereafter to build human civilization in this world; as this world is considered the farm to grow what would be the harvest in the Hereafter. This paper attempts to present this comprehensive concept of purification as explained in the Holy Quran and in the honorable Sunnah of the Prophet.

يُناقِش الجزء الأوَّل من هذا البحث مفهوم الإنسان في العلوم الاجتماعية بتبيان سمات النموذج الدنياني، وكيف تمَّ الفصل بين هذا المفهوم ومفهوم الدِّين في العلوم الاجتماعية الغربية، مشيراً إلى المصادر المعرفية الـمُؤسِّسة لهذا النموذج المعرفي، وكيف انبثقت عنها أربعة مبادئ معرفية لمفهوم الإنسان، عملت على تناوُل هذا المفهوم في العلوم الاجتماعية الغربية. أمّا الجزء الثاني من البحث فيُناقِش مفهوم النموذج الائتماني وأهم خصائصه المعرفية، ويُبيِّن كيفية إعادة الوصل بين الدِّين ومفهوم الإنسان في العلوم الاجتماعية البديلة، ويتناول أهم المصادر المعرفية الـمُؤسِّسة لهذا النموذج. وقد خلُص البحث إلى ذكر المبادئ المعرفية لمفهوم الإنسان في العلوم الاجتماعية، التي يُمثِّل النموذج الائتماني إطارها المرجعي، وهي: الإنسان وتعدُّد مراتب الوجود، والإنسان وتعدُّد مراتب العقلانيات، والإنسان وتعدُّد مراتب الأخلاق، والإنسان والعلاقات الاجتماعية الرحيمة.

The first part of this paper discusses the concept of Man in social sciences by revealing the characteristics of the secular model and how this concept and the concept of religion were separated in Western social sciences. This part also refers to the epistemological sources of this model, and the principles emerged from it. The second part of the paper discusses the concept of the trust model and its main epistemological characteristics. It shows how to reconnect religion to the human concept in alternative social sciences. It also deals with the most important epistemological sources of this model. The paper concludes by identifying four principles of the human concept based on the trust model as a frame of reference. The principles are: human and multiple levels of existence, human and multiple ranks of rationality, human and the multiplicity of levels of ethics, and human and compassionate social relations.
