Geochemistry, tectonic setting, and petrogenesis of the Coldbrook Group and associated plutons, southern New Brunswick, Canada: a unique Late Ediacaran magmatic episode in Avalonia
Authors: Escribano Alicia P. , Barr Sandra M.
Published: December 2023

The Coldbrook Group is a unique suite of late Ediacaran volcanic and epiclastic rocks deposited in an extensional setting in the Avalonian Caledonia terrane of southern New Brunswick. It is informally divided into a lower part composed of mainly andesitic to dacitic tuffs and epiclastic sedimentary rocks intruded by bimodal plutons, and an upper part composed mainly of mafic flows and tuffs interlayered with but mainly overlain by rhyolitic flows and tuffs and minor epiclastic sedimentary rocks. Recent U–Pb (zircon) dating of four formations in the Coldbrook Group and a subvolcanic granitic dome led to the proposal that the lower and most of the upper Coldbrook Group and associated plutons were formed within <760 kyr at about 551.5 Ma whereas the uppermost rhyolite (Fundy Trail Parkway rhyolite) and underlying basalt of the Hosford Brook Formation formed in a younger event at about 549.5 Ma. Overlapping dates and chemical data also suggest that the subvolcanic granitic domes are the plutonic counterparts of the ca. 551.5 Ma felsic volcanic rocks whereas the other granitic plutons represent extracted melts that evolved separately. Whole-rock geochemical and isotopic data combined with previous field work and map information and integrated with the geochronological data provide new insights into the genesis of these magmas and their change from intermediate to bimodal magmatism. The data indicate that the volcanic and plutonic rocks are mainly tholeiitic and were derived from varying proportions of juvenile melts and recycled older arc lithosphere. The mafic rocks have chemical similarities to flood basalts which inherited some calc-alkalic signatures from older arc-like rocks. Intermediate magmas that formed much of the lower Coldbrook Group had larger lithospheric inputs and thus have mainly calc-alkalic signatures. The Vernon Mountain, Blackall Lake and Silver Hill area rhyolites represent evolved melts derived from the lower Coldbrook Group magmas, and their chemical differences are interpreted to result from melt extraction and solid-liquid dripping magmatic processes. Enhanced extension and thinning led to formation of less lithosphere-contaminated melts that formed the ca. 549.5 Ma bimodal units of the upper Coldbrook Group.
Analysis of the management and therapeutic performance of diabetes mellitus employing special target
Authors: Sun Hong-Yan , Lin Xiao-Yan
Published: December 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic condition characterized predominantly by hyperglycemia. The most common causes contributing to the pathophysiology of diabetes are insufficient insulin secretion, resistance to insulin’s tissue-acting effects, or a combination of both. Over the last 30 years, the global prevalence of diabetes increased from 4% to 6.4%. If no better treatment or cure is found, this amount might climb to 430 million in the coming years. The major factors of the disease’s deterioration include age, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle. Finding new therapies to manage diabetes safely and effectively without jeopardizing patient compliance has always been essential. Among the medications available to manage DM on this journey are glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, thiazolidinediones, sulphonyl urease, glinides, biguanides, and insulin-targeting receptors discovered more than 10 years ago. Despite the extensive preliminary studies, a few clinical observations suggest this process is still in its early stages. The present review focuses on targets that contribute to insulin regulation and may be employed as targets in treating diabetes since they may be more efficient and secure than current and traditional treatments.
Diabetes mellitus and prostate cancer risk: A mendelian randomization analysis
Authors: Yuan Jian-Xu , Jiang Qing , Yu Sheng-Jie
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Some studies have directed towards an association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and prostate cancer (PCa); however, this specific relationship remains inconclusive. In recent years, Mendelian randomization (MR) has become a widely used analytical method for inferring epidemiological causes.

AIM

To investigated the potential relationship between DM and PCa using MR.

METHODS

We downloaded relevant data on "diabetes" and "PCa" from the IEU OpenGWAS project database, performed three different methods to conduct MR, and carried out sensitivity analysis for verification.

RESULTS

The results indicated that DM was an independent risk factor for PCa. The odds ratio (OR) values obtained using the inverse variance weighted method in this study were as follows: OR = 1.018 (95% confidence interval: 1.004-1.032), P = 0.014.

CONCLUSION

We found that DM could increase the incidence rate of PCa.
Atorvastatin ameliorated myocardial fibrosis in db/db mice by inhibiting oxidative stress and modulating macrophage polarization
Authors: Song Xian-Min , Zhao Meng-Nan , Li Gui-Zhi , Li Na , Wang Ting , Zhou Hong
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

People with diabetes mellitus (DM) suffer from multiple chronic complications due to sustained hyperglycemia, especially diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Oxidative stress and inflammatory cells play crucial roles in the occurrence and progression of myocardial remodeling. Macrophages polarize to two distinct phenotypes: M1 and M2, and such plasticity in phenotypes provide macrophages various biological functions.

AIM

To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on cardiac function of DCM in db/db mice and its underlying mechanisms.

METHODS

DCM mouse models were established and randomly divided into DM, atorvastatin, and metformin groups. C57BL/6 mice were used as the control. Cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. Hematoxylin and eosin and Masson staining was used to examine the morphology and collagen fibers in myocardial tissues. The expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 β (IL-1β),M1 macrophages (iNOS+), and M2 macrophages (CD206+) were demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining. The levels of TGF-β1, IL-1β, and TNF-α were detected by ELISA and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations and superoxide dismutase (SOD) ac-tivities were also measured.

RESULTS

Treatment with atorvastatin alleviated cardiac dysfunction and decreased db/db mice. The broken myocardial fibers and deposition of collagen in the myocardial interstitium were relieved especially by atorvastatin treatment. Atorvastatin also reduced the levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, and troponin; lowered the levels of TGF-β1, TNF-α and IL-1β in serum and myocardium; decreased the concentration of MDA and increased SOD activity in myocardium of db/db mice; inhibited M1 macrophages; and promoted M2 macrophages.

CONCLUSION

Administration of atorvastatin attenuates myocardial fibrosis in db/db mice, which may be associated with the antioxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects of atorvastatin on diabetic myocardium through modulating macrophage polarization.
Study on Evaluation Method of Drivability of Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition Noise Reduction
Method
Authors: Cai Qinxi , Ou Zhang , Mo Min Yi
Published: December 2023

During the drivability test process, a large amount of noise generated by a
series of internal and external factors of the vehicle reduces the accuracy of
the drivability evaluation. To solve this problem, this paper introduces the
EEMD denoising method and compares the denoising effects of the EMD denoising
method and EEMD denoising method on the original signal using the entropy weight
evaluation index. In addition, the optimal parameter setting is obtained by
comparing the denoising results of different parameter settings in the EEMD
denoising method. The results show that when the white noise is integrated 3000
times and the standard deviation of white noise is 0.1, the EEMD noise reduction
method is the best, and the comprehensive score of noise reduction is 0.732
points higher than that of EMD. The research results indicate that the EEMD
noise reduction method has a good noise reduction effect, which can ensure the
accuracy of subsequent calculation of subsequent drivability indexes. It can be
applied to the processing process of driving acceleration signals in hybrid
vehicle acceleration conditions.

The UK and EU competition rules for research and development agreements: falling out of lockstep
Authors: Jenkinson Richard
Published: December 2023

Until 2023, the UK and EEA had applied the same rules to govern collaboration and competition in the area of research and development. Post-Brexit, they have now gone their separate ways with each creating their own legislation in the form of so-called ‘block exemptions’, which permit certain restrictions of competition and proscribe others. This article considers the two block exemptions side by side, alongside the statutory guidance which has been drafted by the authorities in each jurisdiction. While both block exemptions are broadly similar, such that the parties can consider their requirements side-by-side when planning their collaboration, the different legislative styles of the UK and EU mean that this cannot readily be done by reading the legislation. This article addresses this issue and also flags the points of difference between the two new regimes which would-be parties to research and development-based collaborations must consider. In particular, this article considers in detail the UK legislation’s new closer scrutiny of so-called ‘competition in innovation’.
Economists on trial: how to make expert duties, meetings, and hot tubs work
Authors: Niels Gunnar
Published: December 2023

There is extensive debate about the use of economic experts in competition litigation, both in the UK and in jurisdictions across Europe. There are several ingredients of good practice that have been developed over time, including the requirement for experts to talk to each other and share their data, and then produce a statement of points of agreement and disagreement to narrow the issues between them. Another ingredient is to give the experts their day in court, through cross-examination or hot tubs. Invented in the Southern Hemisphere, expert hot tubs are increasingly used in competition law cases in Europe. They allow the evidence from economic experts (party-appointed and/or court-appointed) to be heard concurrently in court. These hot tubs come in different shapes and sizes which this article explores.
Rethinking the evaluation criteria for qualitative tourism research: introducing resynthesis
Authors: Paraskevaidis Pavlos , Andriotis Konstantinos
Published: December 2023

This conceptual study aims to examine the evaluation criteria introduced by Lincoln and Guba (1985) through the lens of the current trends in qualitative tourism research. Emphasis is placed on the techniques of credibility, which are divided into internal and external. The findings reveal that internal techniques refer to the accuracy of the researcher’s interpretations of data analysis based on the researcher–participant relationship. In contrast, external techniques pertain to techniques requiring external reviewers and sources that increase the accuracy of research outcomes (e.g., peer debriefing). In this respect, this study proposes resynthesis as a technique that compares the findings of a qualitative study with past research. Although this technique is used in systematic literature review and metasynthesis, its scope differs in that it compares the empirical study’s findings with the existing literature in an attempt to enhance credibility.
Creating crime scene 3D model with body wear camera footage
Authors: Maksymowicz Krzysztof , Szleszkowski  , Kuzan  , Tunikowski
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for creating 3D images of crime scenes based on footage from cameras used by emergency services. To accomplish this, a research experiment was conducted, which consisted of re-enactment of a crime scene and simulation of the actions of the emergency team. The experiment did not illustrate a real case. The scenario was developed and dedicated for the purpose of the research.

The research material of this study consists of footage recorded in digital video format. The footage shows the course of a re-enacted intervention of emergency services at the crime scene. The re-enactment, which was a research experiment, was arranged under conditions close to real ones. The 3D model of the scene was created in three stages: video analysis and 3D reconstruction of the spatial position of the camera; 3D modelling of the figure of the participant with reconstruction of the position similar to the one in the recording; and 3D scanning of the scene of the simulated crime, assembly of individual elements, and scaling to real dimensions.

The result (a 3D model) was presented in the form of a set of images: horizontal projections, vertical sections, and isometric and perspective views of the model. Technical data of the research equipment as well as other relevant information was presented in tables and diagrams.

This study demonstrated that graphic data obtained unintentionally and through alternative recording sources may significantly complement the data collected in the course of routine medico-legal and forensic activities. The use of cameras during the actions of rescue and emergency services allows us to obtain information of significant importance for medico-legal and forensic analyses. The footage from cameras of emergency services makes it possible to obtain a 3D image of the crime scene for further medico-legal and forensic analyses
Budowanie odporności państwa na działania hybrydowe

Zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa w coraz bardziej złożonym i niepewnym świecie wymaga od państw sprostania wielu wyzwaniom. Na-leżą do nich konieczność utrzymania kooperatywnego charakteru w przestrzeni międzynarodowej oraz potrzeba realizacji swoich celów strategicznych. Często następstwem takich działań są intencjonalne lub nieintencjonalne zagrożenia, które mogą skutecznie zdestabilizować nie tylko pojedyncze państwo, lecz także cały region. Ich pojawienie się może być efektem braku odporności na wrogie działania podmiotów państwowych lub niepaństwowych, które dla osiągnięcia swoich celów podejmują m.in. działania hybrydowe. Terminy „odporność państwa” i „działania hybrydowe” w literaturze przedmiotu są jednak niewystarczająco jasne i opisywane w sposób bardziej konceptualny niż definicyjny. W dokumentach zarówno narodowych, jak i NATO brakuje powszechnie uznanych definicji tych pojęć. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie koncepcji budowania odporności państwa na działania hybrydowe.

Building state resilience against hybrid activities: Ensuring security in an increasingly complex and uncertain world requires states to address a number of challenges. These include the need to remain cooperative in the international space and the need to pursue their strategic objectives. Often these are followed up by intentional or unintentional threats that can effectively destabilise not only a single state, but also an entire region. Their emergence may be the result of a lack of resilience against hostile actions by state or non-state actors who, in order to achieve their objectives, undertake, among other things, hybrid activities. However, the terms ‘state resilience’ and ‘hybrid activities’ are insufficiently precisely formulated in the literature and described in a conceptual rather than a definitional manner. Both national and NATO documents lack universally accepted definitions of these terms. The aim of this article is to present the concept of building state resilience to hybrid activities.

Zamach na życie Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej w świetle art. 134 Kodeksu karnego
Authors: Kosmaty Piotr
Published: December 2023

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie problematyki szczególnej prawnokarnej ochrony Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. W nawiązaniu do przedwojennego ustawodawstwa został poddany analizie art. 134 Kodeksu karnego, kryminalizujący zachowania będące zamachem na życie Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, który postrzegany nie jako konkretna osoba, lecz jako podmiot uosabiający majestat Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej jest jednym z głównych gwarantów sprawnego i niezakłóconego funkcjonowania organizmu państwowego. Zamach na osobę sprawującą ten urząd może być początkiem zarówno wewnętrznej, jak i zewnętrznej destabilizacji państwa, a zagrożenie jego bezpieczeństwa pojawia się już w momencie przygotowań do popełnienia tego przestępstwa. Autor nie neguje przy tym faktu, że ten przepis wzmacnia także ochronę życia i zdrowia tej osoby, uznaje jednak, że jest to uboczny przedmiot ochrony. W artykule przedstawiono argumenty przemawiające za penalizacją wszelkich zachowań noszących znamiona przygotowania do zbrodni zamachu na życie Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej wzorem twórców Kodeksu karnego z 1932 r.

Assassination attempt on the life of the President of the Republic of Poland pursuant to Article 134 of the Criminal Code: The aim of this article is to present the issue of special criminal law protection of the President of the Republic of Poland. With reference to pre-war legislation, Article 134 of the Criminal Code was analysed, which criminalises behaviour constituting an attempt on the life of the President of the Republic of Poland, who, perceived not as a specific person but as an entity embodying the majesty of the Republic of Poland, is one of the main guarantors of the efficient and undisturbed functioning of the state organism. An assassination attempt on the holder of this office may be the beginning of both internal and external destabilisation of the state, and the threat to its security appears already at the moment of preparation to commit this crime. While the author of the article does not deny that this provision also strengthens the protection of this person’s life and health, he recognises that this is an incidental object of protection. The article presents arguments in favour of the criminalisation of any behaviour bearing the features of preparation for the crime of an attempt on the life of the President of the Republic of Poland, following the example of the authors of the Criminal Code of 1932.

The beams of ions of helium (EHe+= 4 МeV) affected samples of tungsten with purity 99.5%. The radiation characteristics of tungsten have been studied. The change in characteristics was caused by irradiation with helium ion beams. Numerical values of the number of vacancies and phonons were obtained depending on the depth of the layer in tungsten (maximum at a depth of 6.1 μm). The sputtering coefficients of atoms from the surface of tungsten are found. The mean free path of helium ions was up to 70 μm. It is determined that the maximum destruction of the surface occurs in the region of the pits. Pits appear in five times more than bubbles.

Determinación de la cuerda aerodinámica media para uso como longitud característica de un ala
Authors: Arredondo José Arturo Correa , Roque Tiburcio Fernández , Lezama Jorge Sandoval , Carmona Alejandro Mejía , Rangel Víctor Manuel Sauce
Published: December 2023

En el cálculo de la aerodinámica de un avión, se determinan coeficientes y se establecen parámetros especiales para fijar estándares y normar criterios de cómputo. Un parámetro especial, es la longitud representativa o característica, que se define para el ala de un avión. Históricamente se han propuesto varias longitudes para ser consideradas como representativas, con base en criterios que han tenido que ser reconsiderados al encontrar circunstancias que complican su uso de manera general. Siendo el ala el componente más representativo de un avión, es que se consideró, en un inicio, utilizar a la cuerda geométrica de su perfil aerodinámico como dicha longitud. De ahí surgió la cuerda media geométrica que resultaba de relacionar a la superficie alar con su envergadura. Sin embargo, este criterio no tomaba en cuenta la forma del ala, por ello se planteó utilizar a la cuerda que pasa por el centroide de su semienvergadura, para así considerar su forma. Pero, se presentaron casos en los cuales, a pesar de ser diferentes las geometrías, las cuerdas en los centroides eran iguales. Por lo tanto, se pensó en hacer participar el aspecto aerodinámico junto con el geométrico y así surgió la idea de utilizar el momento de cabeceo que, siendo un parámetro aerodinámico, también incluye a la geometría del ala, lo que dio origen a la cuerda aerodinámica media, CAM. Para hacer notar esta situación, se seleccionaron cinco alas de geometrías muy diferentes y se les calcularon las tres cuerdas aludidas. Con base en los resultados, se concluyó que la CAM es la cuerda que toma en cuenta más aspectos, especialmente porque se dedujo que en ella se aplican las reacciones resultantes de sustentación y arrastre de toda el ala y que, además, en su cálculo también se consideró su forma geométrica.

Impact of the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Mudharabah on the Return on Asset (ROA) on Sharia General Banks Registered in the Financial Services Authority (OJK)
Authors: Sapitri Niluh Anik , Irawan Besse Khadijah
Published: December 2023

The objective of this study was threefold: (1) to assess the impact of the capital adequacy ratio on the return on assets of Islamic Commercial Banks that are registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK), (2) to examine the influence of mudharabah return on assets at Islamic Commercial Banks registered with OJK, and (3) to ascertain the combined effect of the capital adequacy ratio and mudharabah return on assets at Islamic Commercial Banks registered with OJK. The investigation was carried out throughout the period spanning from July to August of 2021. The research undertaken employed a quantitative-descriptive methodology, utilizing an associative approach. The utilized data source consisted of secondary data. The population under consideration encompasses the complete set of financial statements belonging to Islamic Commercial Banks (ICB) in Indonesia that were registered with the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) throughout the period spanning from 2016 to 2020. The employed sample approach was the saturation sampling technique. The data was acquired from a collection of financial records comprising a total of 60 samples. The approaches employed for data collection involved the utilization of observation and documentation methods. The employed methodology for data analysis was multiple linear regression. The findings of this study suggest that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the capital adequacy ratio and return on assets at Islamic Commercial Banks, albeit to a partial extent. (2) The impact of mudharabah on the return on assets of Islamic Commercial Banks was found to be insignificant. (3) However, when considering the capital adequacy ratio and mudharabah together, a positive and substantial relationship was observed with the return on assets of Islamic Commercial Banks. The findings of the aforementioned study indicate that the capital adequacy ratio and mudharabah significantly impact the return on assets of Islamic Commercial Banks that are registered with the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK). Hence, the bank possesses the ability to oversee and uphold the standard of the capital adequacy ratio and mudharabah on return on assets (ROA) in order to enhance the bank's profitability. The findings suggest that both the capital adequacy ratio and mudharabah exhibit a favorable influence on the return on assets, as they demonstrate a positive impact and the ability to enhance bank profitability.

Mathematics learning activities in elementary schools must be adapted to the daily lives of students. Mathematics learning that is not related to students' lives will be felt to be less meaningful and less interesting. Learning mathematics requires abstract thinking, one of which is the material of measuring time. Based on interviews with class III teachers, time units are material that is difficult for students to understand. This can be seen from the results of students'daily tests regarding time units (year, week, day and hour) showing that of the 21 students who got a KKM score of 75 only 9 students while the others still did not meet the KKM. This means that 42.88% of students achieved the KKM score. This is because in conveying the concept of a unit of time, the teacher uses the lecture method. The purpose of this research is to improve the results of learning mathematics about units of time through the use of calendar media and analog clocks for class III SD N 09 2X11 Enam Lingkung. This type of research is classroom action research (CAR). The subjects in this remedial research were class III students with 21 students. The data in this study consisted of quantitative data which were analyzed using quantitative analysis techniques with simple statistics in the form of average values and percentages. Based on the results of learning corrective actions that have been carried out, the conclusion of this study is that the application of calendar media and analog clocks can improve mathematics learning outcomes in class III SD N 09 2X11 Enam Lingkung  carried out through 2 cycles. The application of calendar media and analog clocks can improve student learning outcomes in mathematics in class III SD N 09 2X11 Enam Lingkung . This is evidenced from the percentage in the initial conditions (pre-cycle) there were 42.86% of students who passed (above the KKM that had been set). After that there was an increase in learning outcomes in cycle I where there were 57.14% of students who had completed and in cycle II learning improvement actions there were 80.95% of students who had completed learning mathematics using the calendar and analog clock media.

consider other things such as avoiding the same or repeated schedules in one day, the number of teaching staff involved, and practicum subjects which in their implementation require a laboratory. The subject scheduling process at SMK Negeri 1 Tambolaka City is still carried out manually by Deputy Head 1 for the curriculum field, who currently uses Microsoft Excel software, which has the potential for errors and often requires correction before the schedule is implemented. Because the subject scheduling process is very important, a solution is needed in making subject schedules. Therefore, this research aims to optimize course schedules by applying a genetic algorithm to the course scheduling application. In this research, the process of preparing rosters for applied subjects was carried out at school using a web-based genetic algorithm method so that schedule collisions did not occur and the process was more optimal. In the experiment, the results of this subject scheduling application system consisted of several forms and menus, including a login form, department data menu, subject data, class data, teachers, hour ranges, special schedules, and the scheduling menu. Creating a teacher's teaching schedule using a genetic algorithm can produce a schedule automatically and systematically, thereby displaying the schedule for the day and time of each teacher's teaching schedule. The application of genetic algorithms in scheduling teacher teaching at SMK Negeri 1 Tambolaka City is a very optimal solution for scheduling, so that the possibility of similarities in the same teacher's teaching time and hours is very small.

A alfabetização é um processo complexo no qual, pela intermediação do professor, o aluno desenvolve a habilidade de ler e escrever. Este estudo objetiva analisar as determinações da legislação que rege o processo de apropriação da leitura e da escrita nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo análise documental (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 2018). Tem como principal aporte a Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC) e dialoga com os pressupostos teóricos de Soares (2004, 2020) e Vygotsky (2007). Evidenciou-se que o aluno tem direito ao pleno desenvolvimento, ao acesso e permanência na escola, bem como à progressão na aprendizagem. A BNCC orienta a consolidação do processo de alfabetização até o segundo ano do EF, contudo, alguns alunos necessitam de um tempo maior para se alfabetizar. Por isso, necessitam ser motivados por meio de situações concretas de leitura e de escrita a fim de promover sua inserção e atuação na sociedade letrada.

Şuū‘r kelimesi kıl, tüy, saç manasındaki ş-a‘-r kökünden gelmektedir. Kur’ân-ı Kerîm’de, bu kökten gelen farklı formlarda kırk kelime bulunmaktadır. Kırk farklı ayette geçen bu kelimelerin yirmi yedisinin gâib ve muhatap formunda fiil ve on üçünün isim olarak yer aldığını görüyoruz. Fiil olarak geçen türevler tefsirlerde şuū‘r masdarıyla açıklandığından, çalışmada öncelik bu kelimenin lügat ve terminolojideki manasının tespitine verilmiştir. Şu‘ūr kelimesinin, kaynaklardaki birbirine yakın manalarını; zekâya, dikkat ve duyarlılığa, inceliğe dayalı bilgi, algı şeklinde belirlemenin mümkün olduğu söylenebilir. Kökten gelen türevlerden yirmi birinin farklı ayetlerde mā ve lā nefy edatıyla birlikte fiil-i muzârî gâib formunda yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Nefy-i şuū‘r ifadesinin yer aldığı ayetlerden onunun geçmiş kavimlerle, sekizinin müşriklerle, ikisinin ehl-i kitâp, ikisinin de münâfıklarla ilgili olduğunu görüyoruz. Lā nefy edatıyla gelen fiil-i muzâri muhâtap formundaki türevin yer aldığı üç ayetten ikisi mü’minlerle, biri de genelle ilgili bulunmaktadır. Lev temennî edatlı fiil-i muzârî formundaki türevi içeren bir ayet Nuh kavmiyle, mā soru edatlı türevin geçtiği bir ayet de mü’minlerle ilgilidir. Kökten isim olarak gelen diğer kelimeleri de belli bir tasnifle ele aldık. Araştırmamızda kaynaklara inerek, Şuū‘r kelimesini ve ş-a‘-r kökünden gelen diğer kelimeleri ayetler üzerinden incelemeye çalıştık. Kökün câhiliye dönemi Arap şiiriyle, hadîslerdeki kullanımından da örnekler verilmiştir.
