Does gently clearing the nasal passage affect odor identification?
Authors: Spring Mitchell G. , Wiseman Thomas H. , Hallock Robert M.
Published: May 2023

Identifying scents in a wine’s bouquet is considered one of the most important steps in the process of wine tasting. An individual’s ability to successfully do this is dependent on the sense of smell; thus, altering the nasal microenvironment could have a powerful effect on the wine tasting experience. In the present study, we examined olfactory performance in healthy participants who cleared their nasal cavity before odorant presentations. Fifty undergraduate participants were assessed with a standardized test of olfaction requiring the recognition of a battery of odors. Half of these participants cleared mucus from their nasal cavities (by gently blowing their noses) prior to the assessment. No difference was found in performance between those who cleared their nasal passages and those who did not. Further, data were not different than known population data from the test. These data suggest that gently clearing the nasal cavity before presentation of odorants bears no effect on the ability to perceive those odor qualities.

In the present paper, we examined the antioxidant activity of a defatted grape seeds flour of different grape varieties locally grown in Bulgaria. The seeds are retrieved after alcoholic fermentation and the antioxidant activity of the flour was assessed by using four different methods, namely DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and CUPRAC. The results are presented in mM TE/g extract. The values are 586,08 (±41,55); 945,41 (±90,97); 553,39 (±45,57) and 667,73 (±64,30), respectively. The results are also showed in mM TE/g flour. The values are 58,67 (±4,16); 94,64 (±9,11); 55,40 (±4,56) and 66,85 (±6,44), respectively. During three-month storage of the flour in plastic bags (temperature 25 ºC and relative humidity 75%), no living cells of pathogenic organisms (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp.) or apparent molding were detected. The flour particle size has not changed either.

Contextuality, interculturality and decolonisation as schemes of power relations
Authors: Igboin Benson O.
Published: May 2023

Western imperialism and colonialism have tremendously affected the epistemological conception of Africa and Africans. In the same vein, early missionaries did not countenance the cosmologies and lived experiences of the Africans in their interpretation and application of the Bible. On the contrary, they imposed Western epistemologies and theological images on Africa. Although much work has been carried out in these areas, little attention has been devoted to how contextuality, interculturality and decolonisation are exercised in power struggles: the power to define what counts for Africa and Africans as they daily deploy the resources of the Bible. The author argues that contextuality, interculturality and decolonisation are schemes of power relations on the one hand and of owning the Bible on the other, rather than mere methods of biblical hermeneutics in Africa. As schemes of power, they reject imperialist agenda of unequal barter of cultural exchange claimed as civilising the African. Presenting contextuality as a finished product is a violation of the rights of Africans to productively apply the Bible as a text seeking understanding in a different clime from the West; it is also a denial of the reality of interculturality, and thus it ignites the need for decolonisation. By utilising conceptual analysis as a framework, it is argued that these schemes are beyond hermeneutical methods but have the power to resist the suffusing influence of Western theological suffocation in Africa.Contribution: This study argues that contextuality, interculturality and decolonisation are not mere hermeneutical methods for studying the Bible in context; they are instruments of struggle to liberate it from Western epistemological stranglehold.

Riqueza da brioflora como indicador da cobertura vegetal nativa em parques na cidade de São Paulo
Authors: Visnadi Sandra Regina
Published: May 2023

O mundo está cada vez mais urbano, e as cidades enfrentam desafios relacionados à degradação ambiental e à carência de recursos naturais. O presente artigo tem por objetivo conhecer a brioflora nos parques Santo Dias, Burle Marx e Alfredo Volpi, que possuem floresta ombrófila densa, na cidade de São Paulo. O material foi coletado em 2016 e 2017, estando depositado nos herbários do Instituto de Pesquisas Ambientais e da Prefeitura do Município de São Paulo. A brioflora (103 espécies) é heterogênea nesses parques, onde os musgos superam as hepáticas. Maior riqueza em espécies ocorre em parque com mata original melhor preservada, o qual também possui vários tipos de ambientes antrópicos, e que ficou relativamente pouco tempo isolado pela expansão da urbanização. Brioflora mais pobre ocorre em parque com mata menos preservada, possuindo poucos ambientes antrópicos diferentes, além de estar há mais tempo isolado pela urbanização do entorno. Esses achados demonstram a importância dos parques estudados e dos seus fragmentos de floresta ombrófila densa para a conservação da biodiversidade da brioflora, característica do tipo de vegetação ocorrente na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP), e que possui espécies endêmicas do Brasil e espécie ameaçada de extinção no estado de São Paulo.

Published: May 2023

The study was started to assess the early performance of rambutan yield characteristics planted on marginal sandy tin-tailing soil. The experiment was carried out for one year in a plot of 4-year-old rambutan cultivar at MARDI Kundang, Rawang, Selangor, Malaysia. Varieties of Mutiara Merah were used. Data from the plants as a measurement of yield characteristics was recorded. Mutiara Merah proved that it can be well-yield and cultivated on sandy tin-tailing soil. Mutiara Merah showed that it can be planted and farmed effectively on sandy tin-tailing soil, according to the results of the previous research. It can grow and be useful in boosting rambutan yield. Taking into account the fruit yield parameters as well as yield character components parameters such as fruit weight, seed weight, fruit diameter, flesh thickness, brix, and flesh weight, it can be concluded that rambutan cultivation in marginal tin-tailing soil was found promising for producing higher yields. More field studies are needed to standardize agro-techniques and establish the fertilizer requirements of chemical and organic fertilizers for higher yield in other marginal soils such as peat, bris, and acid sulphate soil, as well as create various value-added products to utilize excess produce.

Published: May 2023

Thermo-electric (TE) material applications reduce reliance on traditional energy resources by converting heat to electric energy. We have studied, for the first time, the thermo-electric properties of Rb2SeX6 (X=Br,Cl). Using norm-conserving pseudo potentials in a plane wave basis set of Quantum Espresso code, the optoelectronic, elastic and thermo-electric properties of Rb2SeX6 (X=Br,Cl) have been investigated using density functional theory. Generalized Gradient Approximation of Perdew Burke Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE) and Generalized Gradient Approximation of Perdew Burke Ernzerhof adapted for Solid (GGA-PBESol) exchange correlation functionals were employed in all calculations. The band structure plots suggest that the studied double perovskites have indirect band gaps. Rb2SeBr6 band gap values of 1.7574/ 1.569 eV (using GGA-PBE/PBEsol) are remarkably similar to that of two effective inorganic/organic perovskites FAPbI3 and MAPbI3 . Maximum peaks generated from refractive index results indicate possible solar cell uses of the materials because they are in the visible and ultraviolet ranges. The results of other optical properties such as absorption coefficients, electron energy loss, conductivity, and reflectivity concludes that Rb2SeX6 (X=Br,Cl) have good values for electron generation, high potential for applications in the optoelectronic industry and are semiconductor in nature. The calculated shear anisotropy values of Rb2SeBr6/Cl6 are 3.09/1.71, suggesting that they are isotropic materials. With calculated Poisson’s ratio of 0.32 and 0.26, the materials are predicted to be ductile in nature. The two materials are appropriate for thermo-electric applications since their thermal to electrical conductivity ratio are small (the order of 10-5). The calculated minimum values of Seebeck coefficient values of 0.198×103 / 0.166 ×103 (mV/K) at 750 K, for Rb2SeBr6/Cl6 are positive, indicating that they have p-type conduction. Figure of merit values at all temperature range considered are greater than one (ZT > 1) for both Rb2SeBr6 and Rb2SeCl6, suggesting that they are good thermo-electric materials. The results of the calculations provide the basis for the industrial application of Rb2SeBr6/Cl6 as solar cells.

Authors: E.Kumar  , M.Surekha  , B.Jagadeesh  , P.Venkata Sai Ramakrishna  , N.V.S.S Sujith  , B.Manjunadha
Published: May 2023

Adders are fundamental unit in many computer systems. One of the most efficient adder architectures in terms of delay and area is the carry-skip adder. In this paper an area efficient 16-bit carry-skip adder to achieve high speed and low area were designed. CSA is a rapid adder that is used in data processing systems to execute quick arithmetic operations. As a result, a Modified Carry Skip Adder (MCSA) is developed using a single Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) and a Binary to Excess-1 Converter (BEC) instead of twin RCAs to save size while sacrificing speed. The design is coded in VHDL and its area and delay are analyzed using Xilinx ISE 14.7. The hardware simulation is done in Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA.

The advancements of technology in every aspect of the current age are leading to the misuse of data. Researchers, therefore, face the challenging task of identifying these manipulated forms of data and distinguishing the real data from the manipulated. Splicing is one of the most common techniques used for digital image tampering; a selected area copied from the same or another image is pasted in an image. Image forgery detection is considered a reliable way to verify the authenticity of digital images. In this study, we proposed an approach based on the state-of-the-art deep learning architecture of ResNet50v2. The proposed model takes image batches as input and utilizes the weights of a YOLO convolutional neural network (CNN) by using the architecture of ResNet50v2. In this study, we used the CASIA_v1 and CASIA_v2 benchmark datasets, which contain two distinct categories, original and forgery, to detect image splicing. We used 80% of the data for the training and the remaining 20% for testing purposes. We also performed a comparative analysis between existing approaches and our proposed system. We evaluated the performance of our technique with the CASIA_v1 and CASIA_v2 datasets. Since the CASIA_v2 dataset is more comprehensive compared to the CASIA_v1 dataset, we obtained 99.3% accuracy for the fine-tuned model using transfer learning and 81% accuracy without transfer learning with the CASIA_v2 dataset. The results show the superiority of the proposed system
Pandemic Rendering the Transgender People More Vulnerable, as If It Was Not Already Enough: A Qualitative Exploration from Odisha, India
Authors: Rout Prachi Parimita , Mathur Ajitesh , Swain Pranaya Kumar
Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted people's livelihoods worldwide to an unprecedented magnitude, the most affected being the socially and economically disadvantaged and marginalized communities, including the transgender people that constitute one of the most vulnerable sections that are often subjected to discriminated in various sectors such as education, health, housing, and livelihood opportunities. The present study attempts to offer insights into the impact of the pandemic on the livelihood of transgender people in India, given that the pandemic adversely affected their primary sources of livelihood, such as begging, sex-work, singing, and dancing, due mainly to the restrictive measures: lockdown, shutdown, social/physical distancing, etc., imposed by government authorities to curb the spread of the virus, in turn depriving them of their livelihood choices and rendering them even more vulnerable. This study draws from twelve transgender respondents in the city of Bhubaneswar, India recruited through the snowball method and uses thematic analysis of qualitative data obtained through telephonic interviews. The study finds that the pandemic-induced measures have negatively affected the lives and livelihood of transgender people during this time of crisis. Despite the government’s sustained efforts in providing temporary livelihood options and monetary supports during the crisis, the transgender people continued to remain marginalized. Approaches to making them self-sufficient over a longer term and empowering them financially would have been of more significant impact.

Le Discours Colonial dans l’Allemagne Dépossedée de Ses Colonies : Revendications en Vue de la Récupération des Colonies Perdues dans La République de Weimar
Authors: Strasser Alfred
Published: May 2023

Le traité de Versailles de 1919 stipulait que les colonies allemandes d’outre-mer devaient être placées sous le mandat de la Société des Nations, qui les confierait à d’autres puissances coloniales pour l’administration. Non seulement l’Allemagne se sentait humiliée par ce paragraphe du traité de paix, mais elle sentait aussi que cette mesure n’était que temporaire et devait maintenir un appareil administratif comme si elle avait encore des colonies. À cette fin, de nombreux textes ont été publiés dans lesquels le retour des colonies était exigé. Par exemple, Franz Ritter von Epp a souligné la nécessité absolue d’avoir des colonies pour l’économie de l’Allemagne nazie. Et l’ancien fonctionnaire colonial, Heinrich Schnee, dans son texte « L’Allemagne a-t-elle besoin de colonies ? » demande le retour des anciens territoires allemands d’outre-mer après avoir d’abord discuté de tous les aspects positifs de la colonisation tels que la construction d’écoles, d’hôpitaux et la nécessité d’avoir des colonies pour le commerce extérieur allemand et pour résoudre les problèmes démographiques. Le discours colonial du communiste Martin Hoffmann est diamétralement opposé à celui de Heinrich Schnee et de Franz Ritter von Epp. Il dénonce l’acquisition de colonies, l’exploitation de leurs habitants et de leurs matières premières, et montre que posséder des colonies n’est pas nécessaire à la prospérité économique de la patrie.
L’« Albanisation » des Monuments de l’Artsakh comme Une des Facettes du Discours Anti-Arménien en Azerbaïdjan : le Cas du Monastère Tsakhkavank

L’article présente le plan et la composition spatiale de l’église de Tsakhkavank dans le village de Tsakouri, région de Hadrout de la République d’Artsakh, ainsi que les inscriptions de construction en arménien écrites sur les murs. Aujourd’hui, le village est occupé par l’Azerbaïdjan qui, ignorant tous les faits, mène une politique claire d’éradication des traces culturelles et historiques arméniennes du territoire de l’Artsakh, menaçant d’éliminer et de supprimer les inscriptions des églises arméniennes des territoires occupés de l’Artsakh. L’exemple de Tsaghkavank met l’accent sur la politique de falsification de l’histoire régionale, qui fait partie du discours anti-arménien institutionnalisé en Azerbaïdjan.

L’article est consacré à la présence du théâtre dans Sylvie. Les souvenirs du Valois de Gérard de Nerval et dans Premier lundi de Carême d’Ivan Bounine. Le théâtre a une présence double dans ces deux textes : présence directe - celle du monde dramatique et présence métaphorique – la scène des apparences de la vie mondaine. Dans les deux œuvres l’interrogation de la scène aboutit à la recherche d’un au-delà du visible, se manifestant par des leitmotivs et des questionnements similaires. Cette transition est confiée, chaque fois, au personnage féminin. L’article propose une étude comparée des deux oeuvres.
Natalia Ginzburg ou la Force de la Non Connaissance
Authors: Ruffinengo Chiara
Published: May 2023

Bien que Natalia Ginzburg ait passé toute sa vie dans des milieux littéraires et scientifiques engagés, elle a toujours écrit des textes sans l’aide d’aucun filtre intellectuel. Son besoin de souligner son « ignorance » est un véritable leitmotiv dans son travail, qui se manifeste sous forme de négations et d’oppositions. Pour elle, le sens profond de tout discours ne réside pas exclusivement dans ce que nous savons, mais aussi dans ce que nous ne savons pas. L’inconnu devient ainsi partie intégrante du savoir, tout en révélant l’insuffisance de l’écriture à saisir la réalité dans son ensemble.
HİPERGERÇEKLİK ÇAĞINDA MEDYA VE TÜKETİM
Authors: GÜDÜM Sinem , DOĞAN ERDİNÇ Ece
Published: May 2023

Yeni medya teknolojilerinin gelişmesiyle birlikte internet en önemli tüketim platformlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Yeni teknolojiler, tüketimde “sembolik değiş tokuşun” daha hızlı bir şekilde gerçekleşmesini sağlamakta ve online alışveriş yapanlar arasında etkileşimi mümkün kılarak bireylerin değer biçme yapılarının yeniden şekillenmesini sağlamaktadır. Günümüzde blockchain tabanlı Metaverse kapsamında oluşturulan hipergerçeklikte tüketicilerin ilgili ürünü, sanki fiziksel olarak mağazaya gitmişler gibi, 360 derece deneyimlemesi sağlanırken, tüketici geribildirimini de anda mümkün kılarak, ürün kişiselleştirmelerine imkan yaratılmaktadır. Metaverse içerisinde; fiziksel gerçeklik dijital kurguyla harmanlanarak, evren ötesi denilen siber alan çağımızın ‘üretüketiciyle’ (prosumer) buluşmaktadır. Tüketim sürecinin her türlü mecraya, ortama, zamana uygun şekilde yeniden şekillendirilebilmesi yeni medya teknolojilerinin sunduğu her türlü imkanın kullanılmasını mümkün kılmıştır. Bu noktada, ilk sanal gerçeklik müzik platformu olarak konumlandırılmakta olan CEEK, hipergerçeklikte kullanıcılarına karma gerçeklik (mixed reality) deneyimleri sunmaktadır. Platformda; sanal ve artırılmış gerçeklik teknolojileri ile yaratılan doğrudan katılımcı deneyimi sayesinde katılımcılar arasında bir ‘ortak deneyim simülasyonu’ içerisine girilmektedir. Ayrıca platform kapsamında ünlü iş insanları çeşitli eğitimler verebilmekte, bireylerin CEEK platformu üzerinden kendi bağlantılarını kurmaları sağlanmaktadır. Sanal gözlüklerini takan kullanıcıların, kendi evlerinden, Dubai çöllerinde canlı bir konsere ya da Amerikan liginde canlı bir spor etkinliğine sanal olarak katılmaları mümkündür. Aynı zamanda geçmiş zamanda gerçekleştirilerek kayda alınmış herhangi bir konser, etkinlik, festival, yarışma programı gibi içeriklere de sanal gözlük kullanılarak sanki o tarihte oradaymış gibi katılmak mümkündür. Sanal gerçekliği herkes için erişilebilir bir hale getirmek misyonu olduğunu belirten platformun üyelik ya da hizmet başı ücretleri de bu nedenle yüksek tutulmamıştır. Kodlama bilgisi bulunmayan kullanıcıların dahi sanal gerçeklik içerik üretimi sürecine dahil edilmesini sağlayarak “üretüketici / prosumer” kimliğini korumalarına imkan veren platform, alanında ilk örnek olması nedeniyle araştırma kapsamında örnek vaka çalışması olarak seçilmiş ve netnografik analiz ile irdelenmiştir.

Authors: BAYÇU Sevil , ARTUKARSLAN Betül
Published: May 2023

Marka iletişiminin özellikle dijital ayağında kullanılan “influencer pazarlama” nın yeni şeklini “sanal influencer” lar oluşturmaktadır. Birçok farklı alanda kullanılan yapay zekâ teknolojileri marka iletişiminde de değişik amaçlarla kullanılmaktadır. Sanal influencerlar, yapay zekâ teknolojisi sayesinde bilgisayar tarafından yaratılan karakterlerdir. Yapay zekâ teknolojisi ile genellikle insana benzer şekilde tasarlanmaktadırlar. Tasarlanan karakterler adına sosyal medya üzerindeki çeşitli mecralardan içerik üretilmektedir. Üretilen fotoğraf, video, metin içerikleri sayesinde takipçileri ile adeta gerçek kişilermişçesine etkileşim kurulmaktadır. Lil Miquela, Shudu Gram, Lu Do Magalu gibi dünya üzerindeki örneklerinin Netflix, Calvin Klein, Samsung, Balmain gibi çeşitli markalar ile işbirlikleri yaptığı görülmektedir. Türkiye’de de bilgisayar tarafından yaratılan sanal influencer örnekleri kısıtlı da olsa mevcuttur. Ülkemizde türünün ilk örneklerinden olan Ay Pera isimli bir karakter yaratılmıştır. Ay Pera’nın sosyal medya hesapları üzerinden adeta gerçek bir kişiymiş gibi paylaşımlar yapılmaktadır. Sosyal medya tüketicilere duygu ve düşüncelerini istedikleri şekilde belirtmelerine yönelik bir imkân tanımaktadır. Dolayısıyla kullanıcılar Ay Pera hakkındaki düşünce ve duygularını da yorum yaparak ifade etmiştir. Bu çalışmada Ay Pera’nın Instagram üzerindeki gönderilerine yapılan Türkçe ve İngilizce yorumlar duygu analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Duygu analizi yöntemi, sosyal medya üzerindeki verileri analiz etme imkânı tanımaktadır. Sözlüğe dayalı olarak uygulanan duygu analizi yönteminde yorum yapan tüketicilerin/takipçilerin yorumları polarite (kutupluluk) puanlarına göre pozitif, nötr, negatif olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda elde edilenlere göre yorum yapan tüketicilerin %65‘i nötr yorumda bulunmuştur. Negatif ya da pozitif yönde bir duygu geliştirmeyen kullanıcıların henüz daha çok yeni olan “sanal influencer” olgusunu tanıma ve anlamlandırma çabasına girdikleri anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca kullanıcılar sanal influencerı kendi bildikleri olgulara ve karakterlere benzeterek ne olduğunu anlamaya çalışmışlardır.

Economic Fluctuation and Public Health Financing in Brazil
Authors:   , Matosinhos Lívia Aladim
Published: May 2023

The Brazilian public health system, officially known as Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), has long been characterized by insufficient funding and irregular flow of resources. The system is jointly financed by the federal, state and municipal governments, but some imbalance is observed as tax revenue is concentrated at the federal level, while health services are mainly provided at the municipality level. The mismatch between financing capacity and the provision of public health services can influence the financial resilience of SUS in the face of external shocks, such as the economic recession that affected Brazil in 2015-2016. In this sense, the present study investigated the relationship between economic fluctuation and public health financing in Brazil. Specifically, three separate yet complementary articles were developed. In the first article, the scientific production on public health and the 2015-2016 economic recession in Brazil was systematically reviewed, revealing a possible gap in the literature due to the lack of applied studies focusing on the influence of the 2015-2016 economic recession on the financing of public health services in Brazil. In the second article, a trend analysis was carried out to evaluate the financial resilience of the SUS to the 2015-2016 economic recession and the results indicate that the crisis may have negatively influenced the evolution of public health financing in most of Brazilian municipalities. In the third and last article, the use of an instrumental variables approach provided evidence that public health financing is pro-cyclical in Brazil. Based on these findings, two main conclusions were made. First, the mismatch between tax revenue and service provision faced by municipalities gives extra importance to intergovernmental health transfers. Second, the pro-cyclical behavior of public health financing may hinder the construction of a financially resilient health system in Brazil. Keywords: Economic Fluctuation. Public Health Financing.

Authors:   , Cândido Welliton Lelis
Published: May 2023

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) é um produto de madeira engenheirada consistindo em camadas de lamelas de madeira coladas transversalmente umas às outras, formando entre si um ângulo de 90o. Este produto tem se destacado na construção civil pelo desempenho estrutural, pré-fabricação, eficiência na construção, pela redução dos resíduos, menor tempo de construção, além de ser sustentável com capacidade de estocagem de CO 2 . Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho foi estruturado em três capítulos, o primeiro é uma revisão bibliográfica. No segundo foi avaliado o potencial de utilização do timol no tratamento da madeira de paricá. Determinado as propriedades físicas e químicas da madeira de paricá tratada com soluções à base timol nas concentrações de 1, 3 ou 5%, pelos métodos de pincelamento, difusão e pressão. A efetividade do timol foi avaliada pelos ensaios de resistência à biodeterioração por cupim de madeira seca (C. brevis), fungo de podridão branca (T. versicolor) e fungo de podridão parda (G. trabeum). Também foi realizado o ensaio de envelhecimento acelerado nas amostras de madeira de paricá tratadas com soluções à base de timol, in natura e tratadas com CCA tipo C. No terceiro foram produzidos painéis CLT com madeira de paricá tratada com soluções à base de timol, e avaliada as propriedades físicas e mecânicas da madeira tratada e dos painéis CLT produzidos. As propriedades mecânicas dos painéis produzidos foram comparados aos valores da aprovação técnica europeia ETA. De modo geral, o timol afetou as propriedades físicas da madeira, porém não interferiu nas propriedades mecânicas. Os tratamentos de difusão e pressão com concentração de 3 e 5% de timol foram eficientes no combate de cupim de madeira seca. O timol foi eficiente no combate dos fungos de podridão branca e parda. Houve perda de timol por volatilização e lixiviação no ensaio de envelhecimento acelerado. A baixa densidade da madeira de paricá influenciou negativamente nas propriedades de resistência mecânica dos painéis CLT e nas propriedades de adesão do adesivo. Os valores obtidos das propriedades mecânicas de compressão normal às fibras e módulo de elasticidade transversal dos painéis atenderam aos requisitos da ETA. Palavras-chave: Preservante.

الكتاب للخليل بتأليف سيبويه

لا خلاف بين الدارسين الأقدمين والمحدثين عن المكانة التي يحتلها الخليل في علوم العربية عامة والنحو العربي خاصة. والفكرة الرئيسة التي يقدمها البحث أنّ الخليل مؤسس النحو العربي؛ فقد أوجد في النحو أعمالاً جليلةً تجاوز بها النحويين البصريين الذين سبقوه وفي ضوء ذلك صار الكتاب للخليل بتأليف سيبويه. وجهد الخليل النحوي مبثوث في "الكتاب" المنسوب لسيبويه. فالكتاب في معظمه للخليل لا لسيبويه، وفيه تتجلّى آراء الخليل الصوتية والصرفية والنحوية. فالبحث محاولة جادّة في إرجاع الحق لصاحبه. ألا يكفي أنَّ جلًّ الكتاب جهد الخليل. ألم يقل سيبويه لزميله نصر بن علي الجهضمي: تعال حتى نتعاون على إحياء علم الخليل. ألم ينقل الخليل علمه لتلميذه النابه سيبويه. لقد كان سيبويه أمينًا في نقل علم الخليل للأجيال المتعاقبة. ألا يستحق الخليل أن يكون مؤسس النحو العربي؟
