In his al-Itqān fī ʿulūm al-Qurʾān, al-Suyūṭī (d. 911/1505) draws attention to a Qur'anic rhetorical device by which an extra-scriptural occasion of revelation ( sabab) causes the placement of a verse with a specific ( khāṣṣ) intent, shifting the composition to a general ( ʿāmm) verse on a related theme. This feature had been previously discussed in texts such as al-Burhān fī ʿulūm al-Qurʾān by al-Zarkashī (d. 794/1392) and al-Ibhāj fī sharḥ al-minhāj by Taqī al-Dīn al-Subkī (756/1355) and his son Tāj al-Dīn al-Subkī (771/1370). The idea appears to have emerged from a connection Ibn al-ʿArabī (d. 543/1148) draws between an address with a specific intent in Q. 4:51 and a general expression in Q. 4:58 enjoining the keeping of trusts ( al-amānāt). This article re-examines the historical development of the sabab- khāṣṣ— ʿāmm process within tafsīr, uṣūl al-fiqh, and ʿulūm al-Qurʾān, and assesses its theoretical and practical viability for use in the analysis of Qur'anic rhetorical patterns. By drawing attention to other apparent occurrences of this device within Sūrat al-Nisāʾ for such themes as inheritance and marriage, it is argued that it can be reclaimed as one of the Qur'an's instructional techniques and deserves consideration in contemporary discussions of scriptural rhetoric and composition.

Context: Recognition and evaluation of injuries/illnesses accounts for the greatest percentage (24%) of an athletic trainer's responsibilities as a clinician. When teaching orthopedic evaluation, we often emphasize history taking and special/ligamentous tests to achieve a diagnosis. Because of its complexity and variability, palpation becomes an underutilized skill in the evaluation process. Objective: The intent of this article is to provide educators with some nontraditional instructional techniques to assist students' development of palpation skills. Background: Palpation is used to identify somatic problems, treat those problems, and assess the result of the treatment. Within the examination, palpation identifies the specific tissues associated with an individual's complaint. By correctly identifying the affected tissues, the remainder of the evaluation can be shaped to appropriately address the injured structures. If students are able to comprehend the significance of palpation, they can enhance their evaluation skills. Description: We describe four lessons (Anatomy of a Penny, Controlling Pressure, Discriminating Changes in Soft Tissues, Integrating Skills with Blindfold Palpation) to help instructors provide a foundation for, as well as to advance and integrate, palpation skills in the evaluation process. Clinical Advantages: Education programs aim to enhance students' clinical abilities to recognize and evaluate injuries. The methods used to achieve improvement are not driven by accreditation standards, but by instructional technique. Nontraditional instructional methods may assist instructors with enhancing the palpation skills of their students. Conclusions: Palpation is an integral skill in the evaluation process. With creative instruction, educators can help students advance their skills.

Architectural and artistic construction of museum is one of the most complex genres in environment development and design, with its inherent qualities, means of expressiveness, principles of environment and image development, scientific concepts, in the context of historical development, artistic styles and trends. The author of the article considers the artistic lighting design in isolation from the integral dramaturgy of the project to be deeply flawed, and the setting of accent lighting at the final stage Ц to be simple, but not outstanding. Based on extensive hands-on experience in the construction of museum expositions, the author of the article reveals some peculiarities, especially significant to the participants of the lighting system setting for museums and other cultural facilities.

Theory Of Moral Sentiments

Where Adam Smith’s The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759) extends the domain of spectatorship beyond the ocular realm and claims that we must become the impartial spectators of our own character and conduct, Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Rousseau juge de Jean-Jacques, Dialogues (1776) also attempts to probe beyond the visual surface to examine through careful study the constitution of another, who is actually himself. This chapter traces a Smithian sentiment in the radical division of the self dramatized in Rousseau’s fictional autobiographical Dialogues, emphasizing Rousseau’s attempt to liberate his own gaze and render an unbiased judgment upon himself. Although Rousseau does not write in direct discourse with Smith, he applies a strikingly similar rhetorical device to the spectator within the dialogic structure of his apologia. Reading Rousseau alongside Smith resituates the Dialogues not as a work of madness, as it has frequently been interpreted, but rather as an unrelenting struggle for justice.

Traditional research methods are inadequate to predict and explain consumer behavior accurately in some cases. Marketing discipline tries to benefit from new technological developments in order to make up the deficiency subjects’ competence and willingness to express how they feel when they face with stimulus in traditional data collection method has an effect on the success of the method. In traditional methods, subjects often cannot remember or know the correct answer, or even if they know the answer they will give answers that satisfy the researcher. The inadequacy in traditional techniques has driven the researchers to evaluate theconsumer response more accurately. It is observed that in recent years neuromarketing techniques began to be used extensively to measure consumer responses accurate in marketing field. Although neuromarketing is commonly used in marketing field, there are some questions about the efficiency of the method. This study emphasizes the efficiency on the general evaluation of neuromarketing techniques and criticism of it. The aim of this study is to indicate the historical development of application of neuro science on marketing and consumer behavior, and to establish the future of neuro science, its opportunities and threats.
