The aim of this study was to evaluate the field prevalence and typing of Listeria monocytogenes in the local fish market of Shahr-e Kord, Iran. Antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated Listeria was also carried out by the antibiotic disc diffusion method using 13 different antibiotics. A total of 100 rainbow trout were randomly collected from retail market in Shahr-e Kord for examination of the prevalence and typing of Listeria species using biochemical methods. Four isolates of Listeria were identified; One isolate of L. inovaii and 3 islolates of L. monocytogenes. All four isolates showed the highest antibiotic sensitivity (100 % susceptibility) to five antibiotics including cotrimoxazole, tetracycline, gentamicin, erythromosine, and vancomycin. However, all strains showed resistance to oxacillin. As L. monocytogenesis is of the most important pathogens in humans, fish contamination to different species of Listeria could be a potential risk and requires more attention. Manuscript profile -

According to the fact that the development of urban is currently one of the most important phenomena in global warming, it is possible to study and measure the temperature of the Earth's surface in urban areas in the shortest possible time with the rapid development of satellite technology. The purpose of this study was to investigate urban expansion and urban heat island (UHI) using remotely sensed data in Shahrekord city. In this study, Ratio vegetation index (RVI) and Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and LST were calculated using multi-spectral and thermal bands of Landsat 7 and 8 satellite images. Land use map was extracted using the maximum-likelihood algorithm in TerrSet software. The overall kappa index was estimated at 0.82 and 0.93 for 2003 and 2016, respectively. By comparing two vegetation indexes (RVI and NDVI) and surface temperature during the 13 years (2003 to 2016), it was determined that with urban development, the surface temperature has increased to 2.210C (from 40.69 to 42.90 0C). The results showed that the correlation of NDVI index with the surface temperature map was negative but with positive RVI index. Moreover, these two vegetation indexes, RVI and NDVI, show a more significant relationship with LST in green areas than urban and bare lands. Due to, a significant effect of green areas on regulating LST we recommend that green areas should be expanded in accordance with the urban area expansion. Manuscript profile -

The city is not in a good condition. In this regard, this research aims to identify and investigate the role of spatial-spatial factors on the emergence and morphology of urban settlements (a case study of Shahrekord). The statistical population includes 135 specialists, experts and university professors related to the subject of the research in Shahrekord, 100 of whom were randomly selected as a statistical sample based on Cochran's formula. In order to analyze the collected data, descriptive and inferential statistical methods, frequency tables, and Pearson's correlation and regression tests have been used. And analysis and charts have been done using SPSS and Excel software. The results show that the expansion of the market and the existence of universities, and the creation of new settlements around the old Shahrekord, encroachment on agricultural land, and extensive migrations have caused the expansion of the city, and the change of its form and structure. that spatial-spatial factors, environmental factors and geographic factors have played a significant role in this change of shape and structure, and there is a significant relationship between the research variables and the development and morphology of Shahrekord. Extended Abstract Introduction: The discussion of urban space is one of the most attractive concerns in the field of urban planning, which has attracted many thinkers in this field and has focused their attention on it. Throughout history, human perception and accordingly his definition of space and urban space have undergone tremendous changes. Today, basically, the social dimension urban space is known from the definition of mere space; Although still, the main recognition, analysis and design of space in cities is done with more emphasis on aesthetic aspects and relying on formalist theories, and less attention is paid to the content. In the following, the role of spatial-spatial factors on the emergence and morphology of Shahrekord urban settlements has been investigated. Urban morphology, systematic reviews of form, shape, map, structure and functions of the urban context and the origin and evolution of the texture way, over time. Morphology, meaning "plan, buildings, users, street, maps, urban landscape" is. What mostly in urban geography, deal with it, in fact investigating the spatial dimensions of urban development, urban and inter-urban between the two views. In this regard, this study as to identify and investigate the role of spatial, urban settlements on the genesis and morphology (case study Shahrekord), respectively. Methodology: The study population included all individuals of Shahrekord living, a random sampling of 100 randomly selected. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, frequency tables and Pearson correlation and regression test was used. And analysis and charts, using SPSS and Excel software have been conducted. Results and discussion: Results indicate that, market expansion and universities and the creation of new settlements around the old Branch and the development of the city and change the form, and structure it. That spatial factors, environmental factors and geographical factors, play a significant role in this transformation and restructuring have. And the assumptions of research, development and morphology Shahrekord, there is a significant relationship. In general, spatial-spatial factors have had an impact on the emergence and morphology of Shahrekord, in such a way that the extent of the expansion of the city, the amount of population, proximity and distance to heights and springs, as well as many environmental and climatic factors, play a role in this context. have had and the location of this city shows these things well. Geographical location and environmental factors have also influenced the emergence and morphology of the city, and there is a positive and significant relationship between the spatial-spatial factors and the emergence of Shahrekord. The old texture of Shahrekord had a regular structure in the past, and the gradual development and expansion of the city did not cause any damage to its entire texture and structure at the same time. Despite the existence of the market, the ancient tissue had this main function as the main and essential economic element of maintaining the tissue, and the structure of the tissue was not a problem for this function, because the historical tissue was so organic that it had a physical response for every use need in the past. , but over time and during the changes that happened to the fabric, the structure and body of the city's centuries-old fabric suffered a lot of damage and losses. Conclusion: In the context of the origin of Shahrekord, it should be mentioned that this city was first known as a settlement called Dehkord, which due to the natural location of the region and the southern meadow of the Dehkord Plain, it can be assumed that they were mainly engaged in animal husbandry, perhaps the word " "Kurd" means shepherd, herdsman is taken from the first name of the inhabitants of this area. Due to the good location in terms of water and the importance of the area, it is very good for ranchers and nomads and pastures, and the weather is very suitable in terms of temperature in the hot months of the year, it is very bright. This city is located in the fence of different heights, and the development of the city has been from the Dehkord plain towards the heights and often towards the north and south. Studies have shown that parts of the city are more at risk of floods and earthquakes, for example, the northern part of the city, which is located near the Rokh fault, is more exposed to earthquakes, and the southern part is more prone to floods. Also, the average results show that the development of the city is currently taking place in parts that threaten the city with various natural hazards such as floods and earthquakes. Until now, the implementation of renovation and improvement projects in the dilapidated fabric of the city are not implemented, except in the areas that are beneficial for the individuals and organizations responsible for the implementation of the plan, and so far, only a small part of these areas have been renovated and improved, and other areas Until now, except for the dilapidated ones, which the municipality bought at low prices, and uses them as public parking lots (in the case that in many cases, it has been observed that many of these parking lots are used as a place for street vendors) has been converted). Due to the low economic conditions of the residents, it has not been implemented yet, and also the expansion of the market and the existence of universities and the creation of new settlements around the old Shahrekord have caused the expansion of the city and the change of its form and structure. that spatial-spatial factors, environmental factors and geographical factors have played a significant role in this change of shape and structure.

One the one hand, the urban development, which is one of the essential aspects for the life and survival of human beings, cannot be limited, and on the other hand, it should be arranged in harmony with the needs of human being in a way that it does not damage environment. In the present study, it was intended to identify the optimal sites and districts for urban development through determination of environmental features, especially geomorphological features and the analysis of these features. In order to analyze these features, 13 indices were used. Each of the layers was fuzzed in the environment of Geographic Information System (GIS) through integration of Fuzzy Logic and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the next step, multiplication operator, fuzzy addition, and fuzzy gamma were operated through multiplication of weight of layers resulted from AHP in each of the layers. The optimal gamma in ArcGIS was categorized in 5 proportion classifications. The results indicated that 9 percent of the studied site is categorized in the low-proportion class and 16.5 percent in high-proportion class. The map of the presented model determined the districts with potentiality of spatial development with respect to the past trends as well as suitable districts for future developments. Accordingly, Northern, Eastern, and Northeastern districts of Shahrekord City are the best and most suitable ones for future development of the city. Manuscript profile -

This study was conducted to examine the accumulation of nitrate and nitrite in vegetables of Shahre-Kord retails. For this purpose, a total of 222 fresh vegetables samples were collected in winter 2011 and summer 2012 and were analyzed for the accumulation of nitrate and nitrite. Results showed a vast deviation between the mean concentrations of nitrate. In other words, the nitrate accumulation for mint was 310.9 mg/kg fresh weight (FW) and for savory was estimated at 3309.1 mg/kg FW. Nitrate accumulation in more than 85% of the vegetable samples was below the approved limit of 2500 mg/kg FW; meanwhile in savory it was higher than 3000 mg/kg FW. Moreover it was revealed that in comparison with nitrate, the mean value of nitrite accumulation was remarkably low (below 1.65 mg/kg FW). According to the results, the nitrate accumulation was significantly (P<0.05) higher in the samples obtained during the summer, but in the case of nitrite the results were reversed. In conclusion the levels of nitrate and nitrite in vegetables of ShahreKord retails were unlikely to pose any health hazard to the general population; nonetheless, the application of efficient techniques for decreasing the nitrate and nitrite accumulation in vegetables is recommended.

Nevertheless, iodine defect is a serious problem in many countries throughout the world. This study was aimed to determine the iodine contents of beef, lamb as well as eggs at ShahreKord retails. Forty beef, 40 lamb and 60 egg samples were obtained from ShahreKord markets during spring and winter of 2011. Iodine content of the samples was determined by acid digestion and Sandell-Kolthoff-base method. According to the results, the iodine content (mean ± SD) of lamb in winter and spring was 11.32 ± 3.79 and 105.65 ± 52.635 µg/kg, respectively. Meanwhile, the iodine content for beef samples was estimated at 16.17 ± 5.69 and 115.25 ± 41.18 µg/kg in winter and spring, respectively. Moreover, it was found that iodine content of egg yolk in winter was 340.40 ± 122.60 µg/kg and in spring was 462.63± 62.71 µg/kg. However, iodine content of egg albumin in winter and spring was 33.01 ± 14.56 and 47.87 ± 14.40 µg/kg, respectively. In this study, a significant (p>?) relationship was not observed between the iodine content of albumen and egg yolk. It was concluded that beef, lamb and egg could be considered as a significant source of iodine for human. Manuscript profile -

This study was carried out to evaluate and compare the quantity and quality of the active ingredient of three genotypes of Zataria multiflora, one genotype of Thymus daenensis and Thymus armeniacus under uniform environmental conditions during 2016 at Shahrekord University. In this regard, at 50% flowering stage, each genotype was harvested from two-year-old plants and at a distance of five centimeters soil surface. The analysis of secondary metabolites was done using Headspace Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry method. The results showed that most of the identified compounds were in the form of monoterpenoid compounds. The mean of thymol and carvacrol in the three genotypes of the species Z. multiflora was higher than the Thymus species. Alpha-pinene and β-pinene materials were observed in three genotypes of Z. multiflora, and alpha-trypinol, linalool and trypinolen in Z. multiflora were comparatively more than two species of Thymus. In contrast, some compounds such as beta-bisabolin, alpha-terpinen and para-cymene, were only presented in Thymus species and were not seen in three genotypes of the Z. multiflora.

Laboratory diagnosis is based on the appearance of the parasite and the microscopic examination of the pathology. Misdiagnosis occurs when other parasites, such as Sarcocystis, are present or when the parasite is metamorphosed and calcified. Therefore, more accurate tests are necessary to diagnose the parasite. In this study, observational and cross-sectional analysis and diagnosis were performed using PCR and primer method based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase gene. To investigate the occurrence of cows infected with Cysticercus bovis in Isfahan and Shahrekord, 384 samples of thigh and heart muscle tissues of cows slaughtered in Isfahan and Shahrekord slaughterhouses were tested for Cysticercus bovis infection by molecular methods. Based on the tests performed, 3.64% of the samples were infected with Cysticercus bovis. The results of this study showed that infection of bovine carcasses with Cysticercus bovis is significant and this could increase the incidence of adult worms in the human population.

Mahdieh neighborhood faces with problems such as skeletal deterioration of buildings, and social, cultural and environmental issues. It is introduced as an ineffective neighborhood in Shahrekord and recreation in the neighborhood with the participation of grassroots organizations, Nongovernmental organizations and the support of government institutions seems necessary. This article aims to address strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in this neighborhood by using the potential of Nongovernmental organizations. It also aims to provide some strategies to improve the current situation and recreate Sustainability of the neighborhood. Desired information in this research is provided in the form of library, documentary, interviews and field studies. The results indicate that the role of external factors in the failure of the inefficiency of Mahdieh neighborhood is more than internal factors and aggressive strategy are suggested. Based on Qspm model, the best strategies in order of preference, are using the potential of councils, increasing the role of public participation, and creating applications that are needed in the neighborhood.

Then, in this research the seroepidemiological prevalence of HCV infections and also the possible role of different risk factors of HCV complications were evaluated in jail prisoners of Sharekord. Materials and Methods: In this investigation, the plasma samples of 600 Sharekord jail prisoners were collected and preserved in -20°C. The prevalence of HCV-Ab was monitored by a third generation ELISA protocol in these plasma samples. The possible role of different HCV risk factors like: sex, marriage, history of drug injection, and types of drug addiction, history of prisonership, history of tattooing, transfusion of blood and blood products, unethical sex relationship, and the knowledge of prisoners from the route of HCV transmission were statically analyzed by SPSS and Instat soft wares. Results: HCV-Ab was diagnosed in seventy six of 600(12.66%) jail prisoners by ELISA method. Also the relationship of HCV infection with different risk factors including: sex, marriage, history of drug injection, and types of drug addiction, history of prisonership, history of tattooing, transfusion of blood and blood products, unethical sex relationship, and the knowledge of prisoners from the route of HCV transmission were as follow: 8.16%, 10.66%, 5.83%, 9.16%, 7.33%, 0.33%, 2.16%, 1.0%, and 10.5%. Significant associations were not detected between HCV infections with sex, marriage, transfusion of blood and blood products, unethical sex relationship and knowledge of prisoners from the route of HCV transmission. But significant associations were detected between HCV infections with history of drug injection, and types of drug addiction, history of prisonership, tattooing, and age grouping. Conclusion: Detection of significant associations between HCV infections with history of drug injection, and types of drug addiction, history of prisonership, tattooing, and age grouping, and diagnosis of insignificant associations between HCV infections with different HCV risk factors and also diagnosis of different prevalence of HCV-Ab in jail prisoners announced the need of completed study in other jail populations.

However, in this research the prevalence of HBV infections and also the possible role of different risk factors in HBV presentation were studied in Sharekord jail prisoners. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, the blood samples of 600 jail prisoners were collected and their plasma were isolated and stored in -20°C. The prevalence of HBsAg was determined by a third generation ELISA method in these collected samples. Also the possible role of different HBV risk factors like: sex, marriage, history of injected or un-injected drug addiction, prisoner ship history, history of tattooing, transfusion of blood and blood products, unethical sex relationship, and the knowledge of prisoners from the route of HBV transmission were statically analyzed by SPSS and Instat soft wares. Results: HBsAg was detected in 90 of 600(15%) jail prisoners. Also the relationship of HBV infection with multiple risk factors including: sex, marriage, history of injected or uninjected drug addiction, prisoner ship history, history of tattooing, transfusion of blood and blood products, unethical sex relationship, and the knowledge of prisoners from the route of HBV transmission were as follow: 14.66%, 9.5%, 7.34%, 3.17%, 4.66%, 4.0%, 1.16%, 1.0%, and 8.66%. Significant associations were not detected between HBV infections with history of drug addiction and types of drug addiction, prisoner ship history, unethical sex relationship and knowledge of prisoners from the route of HBV transmission. But significant associations were detected between HBV infections with tattooing and transfusion of blood and blood products. Conclusion: Detection of significant associations between HBV infections with tattooing and transfusion of blood and blood products and insignificant associations between HBV infections with different HBV risk factors and also diagnosis of different prevalence of HBsAg, announced the need of completed study in other jail populations.

Objectives: Investigation prevalence of Ectoparasites in stray and household dogs in Shahrekord. Methods: 460 dog collars from April to September 2022 in terms of infestation with Ectoparasites and to investigate the relationship between infestation with these parasites and various factors related to age (<1, 1-3, >3 years). Sex (male or female), season, breed (indigenous or pure breed), place of residence (indoor or outdoor), body hair type (long or short), body hair color (dark or light), itching, ringworm, and the pattern of infestation It was checked. Results: a total of 460 dog collars were studied, 99 collars (21.54%) were infected with 9 types of ectoparasites. 48 collars (10.43%) were infected with Ctenocephalides canis and Pulex irritans fleas. Rhipicephalus turanicus, Sarcoptes scabiei, hippobosca longipennis, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus isolated from 14 (3.04%), 10 (2.17%), 10 (2.17%) and 9 (1.95%) dog collars, respectively became Infestation with Wohlphartia magnifica, Demodex canis, Otodectes cynotis, Haemaphysalis erinacei , and linognathus setosus in 9 (1.95%), 9 (1.95%), 3 (0.65%), 2 (0.43%). And 1 (0.21%) dog collar was observed. Conclusions: The frequency of infestation was relatively low compared to similar studies, but a high species diversity was seen in the infestation parasites.

Consumption of seafood can lead to the transmission of bacterial pathogens of primary or secondary origin, among the most important of these bacteria are Vibrio species that are naturally found in aquatic environments and in the bodies of aquatic organisms. Every year, many cases of food poisoning caused by Vibrio species are reported in consumed fish. The purpose of this research is to investigate the level of Vibrio contamination of raw fish sold in Shahrekord city. In this research, 50 fish samples were prepared from 30 fish and aquatic supply stores in Shahrekord city and then analyzed at the Nutrition and Organic Products Research Center of Islamic Azad University, Shahrekord branch. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio alginolyticus can be mentioned among the most important species investigated. Then, based on the presence or absence of grown spores, 40% of the meat of the studied samples (20 pieces) were infected with Vibrio. The high abundance of Vibrio species in the samples confirms the lack of hygiene in the fish and its products preparation and distribution centers. It seems that the processing stations and the method of transporting and distributing fish do not have proper hygiene. Manuscript profile
