Can we not just say "based on"?

“taken from”, so “this article is taken from a doctorً s thesis ....”

برگرفتن is the same as برداشتن, and بر is equivalent to English “up”.

This could also work, it’s not clear from the short line whether the article is a section taken from the thesis or it is based on it.
