The research talks about an innovative graphic vision for designing book covers using contemporary artificial intelligence techniques in designing book covers. Where this approach helps to design book covers more attractive and distinctive, and can lead to increased sales of books on the one hand and save time and effort for the designer and publishing houses on the other hand. When using artificial intelligence techniques, designers can analyze the book market and the common interests of the target audience. They can also identify typical patterns in successful packaging design and modify the design based on this input. The use of artificial intelligence techniques helps to improve the design process in general and to support the successful possibility of marketing the book. In the end, it can be said that the use of artificial intelligence techniques in designing book covers represents a new path for the publishing and writing industry, as the covers become a direct expression of the culture and content of the book, making it more efficient and different. In this research, we will review the various methods used in designing book covers in line with global developments, and provide details on how to achieve the required transformations in line with the vision of the future in this field. We will review the positive impact that this field can create in terms of aesthetics and mission.

Negative transformations associated with the culture of reading in the 21st century are generally recognized. First of all, and not without reason, the reader of fi ction comes into the fi eld of vision of philologists and teachers. The goal of the article is to analyze the modern range of meanings of the concept “reader” against the backdrop of the established reader’s image in the collective (proverbial) folk memory. The author is interested in the problem of institutionalization of the Russian reader. The question to what extent the dynamic typology of the Russian reader of the fi rst third of the 19th century, proposed by V. G. Belinsky in his series of articles “The Works of Alexander Pushkin”, reveals the universality of its foundations and can help in understanding the processes occurring with the reader and the reading of fi ction at present, deserves close attention. In the history of the reader’s perception of the art of the word, there is a moving balance and conflict of stubbornly inertial and assertively proactive principles. Respected followers of established, habitual aesthetic values and supporters of new forms and new content in verbal art have become unfailing participants of social and artistic life. They are most often obediently heeded by the overwhelming majority of traditionalists and fashion followers. Nowadays, readers of different ages and different aesthetic backgrounds are actively exploring the network space with its huge hypertext and interactive capabilities. The semantic range of the concept “reader” is enriched with new meanings: a reader of fi ction – a regular user of the Internet; an active reader longing for critical and analytical self-realization; a reader trying to entrust his or her immediate impressions of what he or she has read to the public space; a reader who has taken up writing his or her own poetic and prose texts and is patiently awaiting responses to them. Runet, in its own way, brings back to life the collective notions of the “reading public” and “mass reader”, familiar for the past epochs.

The aim of the article is to analyse trends in the field of digital management of graphic archives in the context of the rapidly changing information environment, to consider issues of data security and accessibility. To raise the issue of popularising the study of the bookplate as an independent genre in the fine arts and as a historical document that attests to the era, events and people. The history of ex-libris goes back to ancient times, with the appearance of the text and its first owner. This history is multifaceted, diverse and touches on various aspects of the worldwide development of human culture. The development of bookplate collecting and the study of bookplates dates back to the Middle Ages, from which time we can trace the history of the transformation of the bookplate from a bookmark with a protective function to an independent art object and collector’s item. This paper examines several modern methods of organising and preserving an ex-libris collection, providing an overview of the key technologies involved in these processes, drawing on contemporary and historical research. The research results are primarily intended for use in the collections of the Pushkin Museum in Chișinău and are based on the largest ex-libris collection in the country, which includes over 15,000 items. The collection needs to be described, systematised and assigned in order to prepare it for further research and exhibitions.

De humani corporis fabrica libri septem is a book written by the Flemish Renaissance physician and anatomist Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564), who was a professor of anatomy at the University of Padua and physician to the court of Emperor Charles V. It is in this book that for the very first time in detail, a learned academic lesson on the anatomy of the human body can be observed, in a compendium of seven books, based on direct dissections of the corpse, created and documented by a young professor (Vesalius at the age of 28) for his Medicine students. This work was printed in ciceronian latin and published in Basel in 1543 in the workshop of the humanist, linguist, and printer Johannes Oporinus (1507-1568), and illustrated by artists from the Titian workshop such as Jan Stephan van Calcar (1499-1546). Nowadays considered a literary, scientific and artistic jewel, Vesalius'fabrica of 1543 was a milestone in the history of medicine and is considered the foundation work of modern anatomy atlases, and basis for the teaching method of the discipline in medical careers worldwide. This original Mexican volume, is now considered part of UNESCO World Heritage and is the first book of its kind in America since the 16th century. It is part of the old and rare book collection of the Palafoxiana Library in the city of Puebla in Mexico. In this article, its characteristics are described and for the first time, documented in detail from its original source. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Given two graphs G and H, the Ramsey number R(G,H) is the minimum integer N such that any two-coloring of the edges of K
N in red or blue yields a red G or a blue H. Let v(G) be the number of vertices of G and χ(G) be the chromatic number of G. Let s(G) denote the chromatic surplus of G, the number of vertices in a minimum color class among all proper χ(G)-colorings of G. Burr showed that R (G , H) ≥ (v (G) − 1) (χ (H) − 1) + s (H) if G is connected and v (G) ≥ s (H) . A connected graph G is H-good if R (G , H) = (v (G) − 1) (χ (H) − 1) + s (H) . Let tH denote the disjoint union of t copies of graph H, and let G ∨ H denote the join of G and H. Denote a complete graph on n vertices by Kn , and a tree on n vertices by Tn . Denote a book with n pages by Bn , i.e., the join K 2 ∨ K n ¯ . Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp proved that Tn is Bm -good if n ≥ 3 m − 3 . In this paper, we obtain the exact Ramsey number of Tn versus 2B2 - Our result implies that Tn is 2B2 -good if n ≥ 5. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The concept of “book culture”, which entered the domestic book-study discourse in the 1980s, is currently one of the central ones for both historical-book and theoretical-book studies. However, it has not yet received a conventional definition in Russian science. The purpose of the article is to formulate a definition of book culture based on the interpretative theory of culture and theoretical and methodological achievements of medialogy dominating in modern socio-humanitarian knowledge. The authors show the general theoretical context of the formation of the concept of “book culture”. The necessity of a pragmatic turn in theoretical book studies is substantiated. The possibilities of theoretical models of the media researcher G.M. McLuhan and the historian of the printed book R. Darnton for the interpretation of the concept of “book culture” are revealed. The author offers his own definition of book culture as a space of communication between various social actors, mediated by materialized texts broadcasting socially significant information.

The article examines the presence of Dostoevsky’s books in the plot of the novels by Nathanael West, John Irving, and Philip Roth, in order to show how Dostoevsky was perceived by American writers and determined the specifics of the poetics and the transformation of constant motifs and images in modern American literature. It is proved that the use of Dostoevsky’s books as a stable motif introduces into these works an obligatory element of literary polemics for both the hero and the author. The main technique used by writers (parodying themes and images of Dostoevsky’s works) becomes the main way to rethink the existing tradition of perceiving the work of the Russian novelist.

Acquainting children with animals is a fundamental aspect of early childhood education. Children will learn animal characters, sounds and the type of food these animals eat. To support the learning process and develop understanding of this topic, a storytelling book was compiled about several characteristics of animals organized alphabetically by the animals' first names. The book being developed is also integrated with augmented reality, so that children can explore three-dimensional animal illustrations accompanied by the unique sounds of each animal they observe. The use of innovative technology-based learning media aims to ensure that the learning process also keeps pace with current developments. Additionally, the goal is to cultivate students' curiosity and enthusiasm for the topics being explored. The use of this learning media requires the assistance of parents or teachers. The development process involves stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research findings indicate students' interest in studying the characteristics of animals, as the learning books can present animal shapes in three dimensions accompanied by their corresponding sounds.

- Abstract
In the XIXth century, colporteurs had a great share in the intellectual and spiritual evolution of Ottoman Protestants. This was a priority task for the educational organization of the missionaries. Especially, the works published in the Istanbul American Bible House transported to cities and villages in Anatolia through colporteurs promoting the publication of books from chemistry to mathematics, natural philosophy to ethics were indicators of Protestant missionary work improvement. While the distribution of the Torah or Bible did not cause issues for the state, works highlighting sectarian differences were considered objectionable. The study emphasizes transformative effects of translation, book sales and distribution on Anatolian Christians between 1850 and 1900, which have a significance in terms of missionary work, beside comparing the policy of Protestant missionaries with the reform efforts of the Ottoman Empire. The memoirs and reports of the missionaries, "Missionary Herald" bulletins, and the correspondence between the center and local administrations in the Ottoman Archives provide rich data for understanding the process.

- Abstract
The paper has analyzed main post-printing operations of book processing. A set of criteria indirectly influencing the qual)ity of post-press process execution is considered : manufacturing of booklets (including collation of printed sheets, trimming, folding, addition of supplementary elements), binding (options such as unstitched adhesive binding, sewing- adhesive bind)ing, thread sewing, wire stitching), assembly (inserting for small-volume publications, assembly for publications exceeding 80 pages), cover materials (including four types of covers and five types of bindings), treatment of book blocks (ensuring the appropriate block format, enhancing strength, durability, and attractiveness to readers through a series of operations, the combination of which depends on the characteristics of book block binding), embellishment (providing additional decorative elements to the book through embossing, varnishing, bronzing, die-cutting, etc.), final processing (including finishing operations such as pressing the book production, applying dust jackets, packaging), and project management (formulating a clear plan for post-press process execution). The description and demonstration of the connections between factors influencing the quality of post-press processes are provided. A pairwise comparison matrix of factors using the Saaty scale of relative importance of objects is formed. For convenience, the pairwise comparison matrix is presented in tabular form. We determine and normalize the principal eigenvector of the pairwise comparison matrix. The components of the normalized vector of the matrix correspond to the weighted values of the factors of the investigated technological process. To verify the consistency of the results and the adequacy of the solution, we calculate the maximum eigenvalue of the pairwise comparison matrix, the consistency index, and the consistency ratio. Model of priority impact of factors on the quality of post-press processes execution, where the highest priority belongs to the "project" factor, i.e., the factor with the highest weighted value has been developed.

24. كتاب "أخبار ملوك بني عبيد وسيرتهم" لابن حماد)ت نحو 628 ه/1230 م(- دراسة نقدية

خالد عبدالله السعيد
- Abstract
Islamic history has never known such confusion about the establishment of a state and its functioning as the state of the Banu Ubaid, or the so-called Fatimid state. One of the first to write about the Ubaid state was the judge, historian, jurist, and writer Ibn Hammad al-Sanhaji al-Maghribi (d. about 628 AH/1230 AD). His book, called (The News of the Kings of Banu Ubaid and Their Biography), remained in manuscript form for several centuries, and it did not see the light and be circulated by people until less than forty-five years ago after it was completed and published. The aim of conducting this study can be summed up in two things: first: introducing the book of Ibn Hammad, especially since many academic researchers and those interested in history have not heard of it, or heard of it but did not have the opportunity to read it, and second: enlightening the reader and making him aware of what the book contains - along with unfortunately, there are many historical errors and a clear lack of information. In the same approach as Ibn Hammad in his classification of the book according to the fourteen kings of Banu Ubaid, the researcher will follow the author's trace in this study, which will enable him to clarify the inaccuracies and gaps surrounding the translation of each of them. The study concluded that the book - despite its historical status - does not contain anything that satisfies the poor or cures the sick from the news of the Banu Ubaid. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the sources - written and oral - that the author relied on were not sufficient at all to monitor news of their kings. Although the author did not express his position towards the Ubaid state in clear terms, this does not prevent us from saying that he had some inclination toward it. You will find him confirming their lineage to the House of Prophethood without evidence. Moreover, he does not mention any of the faults and ugliness of its kings, and he slanders its opponents. The research adopted the analytical method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
This study examined the most influential peer-reviewed journal articles and books in tennis medicine and science based on citations (C). Systematic searches were performed to extract authors, titles, year, journal, C, and research focus for the top cited publications indexed in Google Scholar (GS). The top 100 articles had high numbers of citations (85 to 1,164) and citation rates (3 to 41 C/year) that were similar between tennis medicine and science, with fewer citations to tennis books. The influence of tennis research has increased over the last decade, with citations and citation rates were higher than was previously reported (Knudson, 2012). The study confirmed important research topics and journal outlets and identified influential authors. Influential tennis research continues to focus on injuries, physiological and psychological factors, with recent increases in analytics and business aspects of the sport. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to investigate the active tasks incorporated in Arabic language books for primary school students in Jordan. The focus was on the content, questions, and tasks within the books. A rubric consisting of 34 tasks and applications was used for data collection By utilizing a descriptive analytical approach, content analysis was executed using sentences and paragraphs as units of analysis. The results demonstrate that Arabic language books for 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students contain 28 linguistic tasks and questions. Of these, 14 tasks are found within the paragraphs of the text, with a concentration rate of less than 1%. Meanwhile, 18 tasks are located within the questions, with a concentration rate of less than 3%. Conversation, dialogue, and description were identified as the most common types of tasks. It was also observed that there is a similarity between the paragraphs of the text and its questions concerning the total number of repetitions. The findings of this study bear significant implications for enhancing the development of active tasks in classrooms. They provide valuable insights for educational decision-makers about the quality of tasks within Arabic language books for primary students. Moreover, they pave the way for improving student skills in critical reading, creative writing, dialogue communication, reading, and drawing by promoting interactive teaching strategies that cater to the developmental needs of students. As a result, the study proposes several recommendations for enhancing these active tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of self-help psychotherapy books based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches on anxiety and depressive symptoms, with those of a placebo psychology book and a control group receiving only antidepressant treatment. Method: The current study was conducted with 110 patients admitted to the psychiatric outpatient clinic, diagnosed with depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. The study utilized a book each from CBT, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and a placebo book. Participants' depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and their anxiety symptoms with the Beck Anxiety Inventory, both before and after the intervention. Results: The median age of participants was 34.71±10.40, and 80% were female. The difference in BDI decrease between books was found to be statistically significant as a result of a mixed design Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Although the difference in depression scores between the books was not statistically significant according to time in post hoc analyses, when all groups with the books were considered, the difference in depression scores was statistically significant compared to the decrease seen in the group that received only antidepressant treatment, according to the planned contrast analysis. When the analysis was repeated, excluding the group receiving antidepressant treatment, similar results were found in the placebo book group. Conclusion: When compared to the placebo book group and the usual treatment group, self-help books written within the framework of CBT approaches are significantly effective in reducing depressive scores in patients diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. Further research is needed to observe the long-term effects of these books. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is devoted to one of the largest handwritten collection of Siberian manuscripts belonging to Archbishop Neil (Isakovich) of Irkutsk, Nerchinsk and Yakutsk (30–50s XIX century). The purpose of the work is to examine the history of its study in the context of the development of source science and the formation of archaeography in Russia during this period, the characteristics of the collection and the disclosure of source and historiographical the meanings of the collected documents and manuscripts. The collection of Archbishop Neil is kept in the book and archive archives of the city of Yaroslavl – the State Archive of the Yaroslavl Region (GAYAO) and the Yaroslavl Historical, Architectural and Art MuseumReserve (YAMZ). The stages of studying the collection by representatives of the cultural and scientific community of Russia are highlighted. The works of pre-revolutionary and Soviet scribes of Siberia depict the process of formation of the collection, the ways the archbishop works with documents and manuscripts, mentioned the areas of interest of the collector and the most interesting manuscripts of his collection. In the middle of the XX century, the famous Yaroslavl archeographer V. V. Lukyanov carried out a scientific description of the meeting of Archbishop Nile. It was included in the descriptions of the collections of the archives where it is currently located, and published. Finally, in 2019, Yaroslavl archivists, on the initiative of Irkutsk archeographers T. A. Kryuchkova and S. V. Melnikova, digitized part of the manuscript collection of Archbishop Nile stored in the GAYAO, which made it possible to present the manuscript collection of the archbishop to the scientific community of Siberia and not only Siberia. Electronic edition of the ”Treasures of the Archive of Archbishop Neil (N. F. Isakovich)”, supplemented by ”An overview of the documents of the personal collection of Archbishop Neil (N. F. Isakovich) from the State Archive of the Yaroslavl region”, testifies to the source value of the collection and individual striking monuments, allows you to clarify the composition of the manuscripts distributed in the region.

Dans la longue cohorte des objets houellebecquiens, le livre occupe une place tout à fait singulière. Presque aucun roman où il n'apparaisse pas (quasiment tous les personnages principaux chez Houellebecq sont d'assidus lecteurs); et son importance, au fur et à mesure que l'œuvre progresse, semble toujours croissante. Cet article analyse les différentes références à l'objet livre dans l'œuvre de Michel Houellebecq, en faisant l'hypothèse que ses modes d'apparition sont significatifs de la manière dont l'auteur conçoit à la fois la littérature et la relation au lecteur.

This essay takes readers on something of a journey. It opens by showing how, when it comes to the creative arts in the UK, it is upper- and middle-class, privately educated, Oxbridge graduates who receive the bulk of the available financial support. It proceeds by arguing that their shared experience of private school and Oxbridge is a major reason so much of culture in England, and the university within it, is rather safe, homogenous and anti-intellectual, not to mention white, male and liberal humanist. At the same time, it maintains that it is not enough to change who is contributing to culture and the production of knowledge, and what they are being conditioned to write and publish about; what's also needed is a change in how they are doing so. It ends by indicating some of the ways in which we can use new media and radical open access publishing to reinvent our (Euro-Western, modernist, middle-class, white, male) liberal humanist modes of being as writers and researchers.

Produced by several authors, these books-as-library bring together multiple textual genres and forms of representation to explore the "radioactive afterlife", which not only indicates the horizon of survival after a nuclear catastrophe, but also the survival of images, given the impossibility of representing an invisible, immeasurable phenomenon.

- Abstract
Diyarbakir has hosted many civilizations throughout history. For this reason, scientific and cultural life has been diverse. This situation can be understood from the books owned by the people living in the city and their relationships with them. In the study, first of all, the inheritances in the Diyarbakır Şer'iyye Registry books from the 18th century were used. In this context, 3,607 provisions in 22 notebooks were scanned. In 138 of these provisions, 261 different works were recorded 945 times. In addition, 13 of the Şer'iyye registers examined are mixed subjects and 9 are inheritance, and these registers contain 1,286 provisions. In addition, copyrighted works were also used. In the light of the data obtained, the books owned by people of the period were determined. These books were then classified according to their subjects. By examining the books and their owners in the Şer'iyye registers, the books containing the books, the people who own the books, the number of books these people own, the distribution of books according to subjects, the books on which subjects are read more, the financial situation, status and religious affiliation of the book owners. Issues such as prices of books and their distribution in neighborhoods have been tried to be clarified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents an analysis of Natália Barros’ book, titled Ensaios do corpo no lugar de morar (2021). The book deals with a theoretical, practical, and collaborative research within the realms of architecture, dance, scenography, performance design, and digital tools. Numerous artists from across the globe have come together, catalysing performative experiments that challenge conventional notions of dwelling. The aim of this article is to provoke reflections on the bodily experience within the home amid the global backdrop of the pandemic, based on a digital performative experiment that appears to blend an expanded conception of scenography with certain elements of domestic life.

- Abstract
I'm writing from the perspective of a neuroscience teacher and researcher with a systems level approach rather than a molecular approach to nervous system concepts and principles. Furthermore, I've placed emphasis on information that may be most relevant to those who aspire to be, or are, healthcare professionals that choose rehabilitation as the entry point into patient care. I've included "classic" information as well as more recent discoveries that build on or challenge the "classics." As an instructor, I find teaching neuroscience to be a wonderful challenge to make such information accessible to students at many levels of education: from undergraduate to graduate predoctoral, doctoral and professional doctoral students. I do not have a mathematical mind although I have great respect for those who understand nature "by the numbers." I use what one might call a "mechanistic" approach. I've found most learners I have encountered can follow and use this approach as an analogy for often complex processes that are likely to be probabilistic (mathematically speaking) in their actual occurrence. Also you may notice I provide a sprinkling of humor in my writing much as I do in the classroom because an engaged brain retains a sense of humor even if it is not explicitly expressed for others to appreciate. Of course many topics related to nervous system dysfunction are deadly serious for the healthcare provider as well as for the patient and are treated as such. Many students find science to be "dry, abstract, intimidating, irrelevant, boring, esoteric, incomprehensible, etc.' and neuroscience, in particular, to fit all those descriptions and worse. However, if the nervous system can be presented as a dynamic structural and functional entity, the learner will tend to be more engaged in and out of the classroom. That's why I've included many movies and interactive media to make points about particular dynamic concepts or processes. I may not be the sharpest tack in the pack

¿Cuán conectadas están la historia política de Chile y la Guerra Fría global? ¿Qué grado de influencia tienen los procesos mundiales en los hechos que han marcado la historia nacional? ¿Podemos entender lo que ha pasado en Chile como un hecho aislado o simplemente una consecuencia propia de una interconectividad mundial? El libro nos presenta once investigaciones que reflejan los actuales enfoques historiográficos acerca de la dimensión internacional de la historia contemporánea de Chile y proyectan la vitalidad de los estudios sobre los intrincados nexos entre la trayectoria reciente del país y la Guerra Fría. También, será posible conocer en la publicación los fenómenos y acontecimientos más relevantes y significativos que han sucedido en Chile, lo que permitirá abrir nuevas perspectivas para futuras investigaciones. Es así como el lector podrá acercarse a ensayos destinados a analizar el comunismo chileno tras el golpe militar, la influencia del movimiento solidario sueco en nuestro país, la revolución cubana y la nueva izquierda revolucionaria, la campaña el terror en las elecciones presidenciales del 1964, entre otros temas.

- Abstract
Is Europe's immigration policy attractive? One of the priorities driving current EU debates on labour immigration policies is the perceived need to boost Europe's attractiveness vis-á-vis 'talented' and 'highly skilled' immigrants. The EU sees itself playing a role in persuading immigrants to choose Europe over other competing destinations, such as the US or Canada. This book critically examines the determinants and challenges characterising discussions focused on the attractiveness of labour migration policies in the EU as well as other international settings. It calls for re-thinking some of the most commonly held premises and assumptions underlying the narratives of 'attractiveness' and 'global competition for talent' in migration policy debates. How can an immigration policy, in fact, be made to be 'attractive' and what are the incentives at play (if any)? A multidisciplinary team of leading scholars and experts in migration studies address the main issues and challenges related to the role played by rights and discrimination, qualifications and skills, and matching demand and supply in needs-based migration policies. The experiences in other jurisdictions such as South America, Canada and the United States are also covered: Are these countries indeed so 'attractive' and 'competitive', and if so what makes them more attractive than the EU? On the basis of the discussions and findings presented across the various contributions, the book identifies a number of priorities for policy formulation and design in the next generation of EU labour migration policies. In particular, it highlights important initiatives that the new European Commission should focus on in the years to come.

Mediatic turn ,Philosophy of technology ,Learning ,Book ,Video game ,Information technology ,T58.5-58.64 - Abstract
Beginning with a reconstruction of the anthropological paradigms underlying The Vienna Manifesto and The Onlife Manifesto (§ 1.1), this paper distinguishes between two possible approaches to digital humanism: an extroverted one, principally engaged in finding a way to humanize digital technologies, and an introverted one, pointing instead attention to how digital technologies can re-humanize us, particularly our “mindframe” (§ 1.2). On this basis, I stress that if we take seriously the consequences of the “mediatic turn”, according to which human reason is finally recognized as mediatically contingent (§ 2.1), then we should accept that just as the book created the poietic context for the development of traditional humanism and its “bookish” idea of private and public reason, so too digital psycho-technologies today provide the conditions for the rise of a new humanism (§ 2.2). I then discuss the possible humanizing potential of digital simulated worlds: I compare the symbolic-reconstructive mindset to the sensorimotor mindset (§ 3.1), and I highlight their respective mediological association with the book and the video game, advocating for the peculiar thinking and reasoning affordances now offered by the new digital psycho-technologies (§ 3.2).

49. Iran mellan tre revolutioner : Förebilder och motbilder

Fazlhashemi, Mohammad and Fazlhashemi, Mohammad
- Abstract
Allt sedan början av 1900-talet har Iran genomgått omvälvande revolutioner. Det började med den konstitutionella revolutionen 1906. Syftet med den var att införa konstitutionell styrelseform enligt den europeiska modellen. Olika aktörer som tillhörde den politiska och kulturella eliten samt en grupp religiösa företrädare gav sitt stöd till denna modell. Gemensamt för dem var att de ville förändra den rådande politiska modellen som byggde på despoti och envälde och ersätta den med en liberal styrelseform. Under denna period framstod den europeiska konstitutionella styrelseformen som en förebild som stod för politiska och medborgerliga fri- och rättigheter och modernitet. Man såg upp till Europa som den fria och lyckliga civilisationen. Revolutionen förverkligade inte alla högt ställda förväntningar. Landet kastades in i ett politiskt kaos och den konstitutionella modellen motarbetades av såväl inhemska krafter som europeiska stater. Under mellankrigstiden tog nya auktoritära makthavare över statsmakten som motarbetade de liberala inslagen i den konstitutionella modellen och ville modernisera landet genom auktoritära och odemokratiska metoder. Trots bakslagen framstod Europa och väst som förebilder under lång tid. Denna bild förändrades någon gång i mitten av 1900-talet. Det var efter statskuppen 1953 som störtade den demokratiska regeringen som vändningen kom. Detta berodde inte minst på att västerländska stater som USA och England var inblandade i statskuppen. Under 1960- och 1970-talen sjönk den europeiska/västerländska modellens aktier som sten. Detta sammanföll med den illiberala politiska utvecklingen i landet som gick emot den konstitutionella revolutionens ideal genom bl.a. maktkoncentration hos kungen och frånvaro av politiska fri- och rättigheter. Nu hämtades förebilderna från vänsterideologier och islamistiska ideal. Allt som förknippades med den västerländska modellen gavs ett negativt innehåll. Målet var att störta den enväldige monarken och omdana land
