With this aim, the main purpose of this research is to present a model of the challenges of fitting the structure of the government in implementing a comprehensive reform of the administrative system. This research in terms of collecting data is a descriptive-survey research,, and in terms of research purposes is an applied research. The statistical population of the research has been scientific and executive experts in the academic environment and governmental organizations. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, and to analysis the data multi-criteria decision-making approaches (MCDM) was used. In this research, by examining the literature of research and interviewing with experts, 66 indicators were identified and extracted. After judging the experts, using Fuzzy Delphi test, 29 indicators were approved and organized in 5 main components. The results of the Dematel test (studying the effectiveness and impact of variables) showed that the variables of privatization, decentralization and proportionalization, effectiveness variables, and the state structure and bureaucracy are impact variables. Interpretative structural modeling analysis also showed that variables were classified in two levels. At the highest level, the component of bureaucracy and at the lowest level are the components of government structure, adjustment, privatization and decentralization. Manuscript profile -

To accomplish all phases of decision makingprocess, all criteria must be measurable and quantitatively available. Because information technology, accordingto its intangible nature, has a broad range of definitions and generally undetermined indicators some of which arequalitative, there is no certain criterion to measure it. This paper aimed to consider all aspects of informationtechnology. Indicators of information technology have been set in four main groups and in each of them, themain criteria and related sub-criteria are defined. As qualitative and quantitative criteria cannot be measuredcertainly and accurately, the fuzzy systems (FS) are utilized to assess the magnitude of any indicator. To do so,after creating the matrix of decision-making, weights assessment techniques in multi-criteria-decision making(MCDM) have been used and then a model for measuring in order to gain points for a unique level ofinformation technology is provided. The method used to assess the weights is “grouping” that is one of thedecision-making techniques and the method of measurement is fuzzy simple addition weight (FSAW). Pointsearned, indicate the level of information technology in the organization. According to the implementation of themodel and examination by experts in this field, designed model was approved and is applicable in allorganizations that have IT units Manuscript profile -

First, the importance score of indices were determined through Study and interview with experts then according to defensive researches in the country and related centers which are considered as references indices were chosen. Next we determined to which centers, it is better, to assign the most budyet and facilities according to “TOPSIS” method and related and tables (they are described in the text) also we suggested the best choice. Through this process qualitative and quantitative indices can be used and consequently fuzzy method is sued to conver comprehensive and qualitative indices in to measurable quantitative and indices. This method of decision along with multiple qualitative indices can be used to determine the priority for allocating Rial and foreign currencies budjet to government research centers under the supervision of the ministry culture and advance education.

EFQM excellence is astrong tool to help organizations surmount these challenges. This model has two major parts: enablersand results. Enablers include five areas: leadership, people, policy and strategy, partnership andresources, and processes. Results include four areas: people, customer, society, and key performance.This model has been used in organization assessment by people who are responsible for our country’sindustries. However, this model has also been criticized. Assessment is done using an evidentialreasoning approach. The evidential reasoning approach is one of the MCDM techniques. Theimprovable areas must be recognized and divided into two classes: simple and important. Next, theimportant improvable areas must to be prioritized by one of the MADM techniques. To achieve morerapid excellence, the important improvable areas must be conducted by priority. According to theresearch findings, the sub-criteria and bolt points are not equal, in spite of the fact that they areconsidered equal in EFQM excellence. Manuscript profile -

Different definitions of relative efficiency in the presence of fixed-sum outputs have been proposed in the literature of data envelopment analysis and in all of the existing definitions a common equilibrium efficient frontier is given. We will show that determining a single equilibrium efficient frontier may leads to a large trade-off between the decision making units and this may be impossible in real cases. In this paper, we propose a context-based data envelopment analysis approach to evaluate the relative performance of the decision making units when fixed-sum outputs are exist in production process. The approach proposed in this paper uses the context based data envelopment analysis to determine an efficiency score to each DMU. To illustrate the real applicability of the proposed approach, a real case on 21 OCED countries is given. Manuscript profile -

The neoclassical and institutional variables are considered based on panel data econometric models for 24 of the OECD countries in the period of 1996 - 2011. The research model estimation includes seven equations (the first equation with neoclassical variables and the other equations with neoclassical variables and good governance indices separately) for developed countries of the OECD countries. The research model shows that neoclassical variables such as; the share of Gross Fixed Capital (GFC), the share of per capita real Final Consumption Expenditure (FCE) and the share of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flow as a percentage of real GDP are positive and significant in all seven estimated equations except in some sections for FCE and FDI. Also the effect severity of GFC is higher than FDI and FCE on employment rate. However, all six indicators of good governance (institutional variables) had a significant positive effect on the employment rate so that control of corruption index, voice of people and government accountability, government effectiveness, rule of law, regulatory quality and political stability, have had the first rank to sixth in terms of the impact severity on employment rate in these countries. Finally, practical suggestions are presented for improving the employment rate of the relevant countries according to the institutional approach (with an emphasis on good governance).

This study aimed at identifying the causes of the mortality of hospitalized patients based on International Classification of Diseases. Methods: This retrospective study was a descriptive-analytical one. Research population included all inpatients died in hospitals under supervision of Semnan University of Medical Sciences during a 5-year period (2011-2016). Sampling was done as the senses and data were collected by a checklist extracted from death registration system of the Treatment Deputy of the university. Data were analyzed in SPSS by applying statistical approaches in the significant level of p≤ 0.05. Results: 8,270 hospital mortalities were registered during the period. 6,370 (76.3%) of dead patients were burghers and 4,450 (53.8%) were male. The most frequent causes of the mortality were cardiovascular diseases (3,201, 38.7%), cancers (1,287, 15.5%), and respiratory diseases (865, 10.5%). There were significant differences among the mortality rates according to patients' gender, residences, and age ranges (p< .001). Conclusion: Chronic and non-communicable diseases were the main causes of the mortality. Health policy-makers can decrease in these diseases by applying screening programs, empowering people and endorsing regulations on safety life style and so on.

The purpose of this essay is to reflect on the duality of understanding the meaning of a desirable job in the minds of teenagers and young people in Mashhad.The method used in qualitative and conventional content analysis was chosen and a sample size of about 30 people was selected from among the youth of Mashhad city and studied.Findings: The obtained results showed that in their understanding of a desirable job, teenagers have pointed to categories such as service, appropriate position and job justice, halal income, job expectation based on maintaining values, work pleasure, creativity and job success, and the youth (women) ) to categories such as female job environment, non-gender discrimination of job, job identity, gender adaptation of job, distance from work to home (location distance of job and time distance of job) and job skills and youth (men) to categories like high income, job insurance and Appropriate salaries and benefits, job demands, self-determination and workplace health were mentioned. By comparing the main categories among teenagers and young people, we can witness a kind of duality and difference in meaning in the understanding of desirable job, which leads to the contrast of "moral and abstract mission" from desirable job among teenagers to "McDonalization of job" among young people.

Sixty rats were divided into four treatment groups, and sampling was done on the third, seventh, and fourteenth days after wound formation. No treatment was done on the first group, the control group. The second group was treated with 25% zinc oxide as the drug of choice. The third and fourth groups were treated with 3% and 7% Scenedesmus acuminates seaweed ointment. The back wounds of mice were infected with 50 microliters of 2x108 CFU/mL Staphylococcus containing suspension. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry (CD68) were performed to compare the number of macrophages on tissue samples. On the third day after wounding, macrophages (CD68) were present in the algae group by 7% more than in the other groups. On the seventh day, fibroplasia and collagen synthesis in the algae group was 7% better than in the other two groups. On the 14th day, the accumulation of new blood vessels in the algae was 7% more than the others. The best result regarding the CD68 (macrophage) molecule expression level was seen in the 7% algae group on the 7th and 14th days. On the third, seventh, and fourteenth days, when macrophages are helpful, algae groups were better than others. The use of algae ointment can reduce the bacterial load of the wound and is better than the administration of zinc oxide. Manuscript profile -

Phytoremediation utilizes plants to uptake contaminants and can potentially be used to remediate metal contaminated soils and waters. This study was carried out with the aim of assessing the ability of Acacia victoriae three months old seedlings in the accumulation of cadmium in their parts (stem and root), transfer it from the roots to the stems and to understand the effect of Cd accumulation on some morphology attributes of the plant. For this purpose, 12 seedlings of A.victoriae three months old seedlings were exposed to Cd in 4 different concentrations: 0, 10, 50 and 100 (mg/l) for period 45 days in completely randomized design with 3 replicates per treatment were considered. The results showed significantly reduction of height, biomass and resistance were observed, compared to the control plants and also symptoms of toxicity in the leafs which become thin, yellow and with brwon spots in high concentrations of Cd were notably. Also Cd accumulation in roots and aerial parts increasing trend with increasing Cd supply up to 100 (mg/l) and root tissue concentration regards to Cd concentration was higher than stem tissues concentration at all treatments. Cdwere accumulated in the roots, stems and leafs of seedlings, more than 72% (19433.33 mg/kg), under 17% (4630 mg/kg) and under 11% (2853.33 mg/kg) exposed to 100 (mg/l), respectively. Bioconcentration Coefficient root and stem, Translocation Factors, Enrich Coefficient and Uptake Index were determined 184.9, 71.20, 0.39, 0.014, 7697.73 mg/kg in high concentrations of Cd, respectively. Indeed, the results confirmed that A.victoriae had the ability to accumulate Cd in the roots so that prevented Cd toxicity symptom. Generally, this desert plant can be used in the process of remediation of Cd soil polluted by way of phytostabilization. Manuscript profile -

In this research, convection-dispersion equation (CDE) and mobile-immobile model (MIM), as physical equilibrium and non-equilibrium models, respectively, were used to simulate the bromide transport through saturated and unsaturated forest soil, with clay loam texture, and rangeland soil, with sandy loam texture, columns (diameter of 6 and height of 10 cm).Method: to obtain the BTCs, the PVC soil columns with a height of 10 and a diameter of 6 cm were prepared. The breakthrough experiment was carried out in near saturation and saturated condition under a water head of -1 and 3 cm, respectively. The soil columns were saturated from the bottom with a Ca(NO3)2 solution of 0.01 molar as the background solution. At near saturation, the CaBr2 solution with a concentration of 0.01 M equal to a pore volume was injected into the saturated columns of the background solution through the infiltration disk. A Mariotte bottle was used to establish a constant water head. After CaBr2 injection started, the effluents with a volume of 0.1 pore volume were collected at different times, and their bromide concentrations were determined using a pH-meter equipped with a bromide selector electrode. After the complete injection of CaBr2, the steady-state saturated flow of the background solution was re-established. The experiment continued until the bromide concentration in the effluent were almost zero. The measured concentrations, by dividing by the initial concentration, were converted to relative concentrations (C/Co). Then the BTCs was plotted as C/Co versus time or the number of pore volumes.Results: The values of mass transfer coefficient (ω<100) and mobile water fraction (β<1) as an indicator for determining the equilibrium and non-equilibrium indicated that bromide transport behavior within these columns was anomalous or non-Fickian transport. Hence, the non-equilibrium or the mobile-immobile model (MIM) is suitable and more efficient than the Fickian-based CDE model. The fitted breakthrough curves (BTCs) and the higher determination coefficient (R2) and the lower root mean square error (RMSE) values of the MIM model compared to those of the CDE confirmed the effectiveness of the MIM model in simulating bromide transport in the forest and rangeland soil columns.Conclusion: Better fit of measured and estimated breakthrough curves of bromide with non-equilibrium model compared to CDE equilibrium model, especially in the tail of breakthrough curves indicates more accuracy and the should be added efficiency of the non-equilibrium model. Given that the samples were replaced in the columns as disturbed, it can be said that heterogeneity conditions were established in the columns experiments. According to Huang et al. (2005) and Berkowitz et al. (2008), heterogeneity could be one of the reasons to justify the better performance of non-equilibrium models in the present study. The high efficiency of the non-equilibrium model compared to the equilibrium model in this controlled laboratory research cannot be a reliable judgment in evaluating these models. Accurate judgment will depend on conducting research and experiments in real and field conditions, taking into account more effective parameters. Manuscript profile -

In this research, the ESAs model was used to assess the impact of climate change on the desertification hazard in the Esfarayen-Sabzevar region in three periods of 1981-1992, 1993-2004, and 2005-2016.Material and Methodology: Due to the inappropriate data and distribution of the meteorological stations of the region, reanalyzed data of the ERA-Interim and 12 meteorological stations of the region were used. The climate data related to the Esfarayen -Sabzevar region are available as 53 cells with the dimensions of 0.125 × 0.125 degrees. At the first step, daily climate data for the period of 1979-2016 were received using the web interfaces, Python script, and also ECMWF WebAPI and then the data were extracted for each of the cells. ArcGIS software was used to export the received NetCDF data in the data base format (dbf) for 53 cells. Drought consistency for the study period was computed using R software through SPI index. After preparing base maps of precipitation, aridity, and drought for three study periods, desertification hazard was provided using the modeling tool of the ArcGIS software based on the ESAs model.Findings: Results indicated that use of the integrated (reanalyzed and observed) data led to increasing the NSE coefficient to the value of 1 as well as the values of bias and RMSE were decreased respectively from 0.39 to 0.24 and 6.69 to 0.32. In the 36- year study period, precipitation has decreased more than 10 mm in the entire region and the temperature has increased nearly 2 degrees that the impacts of these changes on the desertification hazard were assessed. So that, in the second period, C1 was replaced with F2 class and in the third period, C3 was replaced with C1.Discussion and conclusion: As a result, it can be said that climate change in three periods has led to increasing the desertification hazard in the Esfarayen-Sabzevar Region.

Consideri MoreBackground and Objective: Due to the high spatial resolution of Geoeye data, due to the wider distribution of pixels, the output maps in Neural network algorithm and Forest cover index (FCD) classification methods are more sensitive and with more pixel detail. Considering the large amount of information in new sensors, the aim of this study is to develop and improve the performance of more complex classification algorithms for the interpretation of modern satellite data. Material and Methodology: FCD model base classification is based on four main indicators: sensitive to shadow, uncovered soil, vegetation conditions and density, and without the need for a training sample. The Neural network algorithm operates with high sensitivity to the original image bands and the bands created and added to the image, as well as training samples. Training samples were determined in the summer of 2016-2017 from series 5 and 6 of 30 Ramsar watersheds. Finding: Using this method, an accuracy of 24.5% was obtained for the FCD method and 26.2% for the Neural network method. Due to the high resolution of the data used, the output map developed in this method is associated with a high density of polygons. Discussion & Conclusion: Due to the range of pixels in the output maps of the two methods, an extended method has been proposed to produce a more accurate map, due to the high spatial resolution of the Geoeye sensor. In this method, by reclassifying within the maximum frequency range of pixels, the demarcation of polygons in much smaller and more accurate dimensions is considerable. Manuscript profile -

However, limited information is available to identify their ability for heavy metals removal from multi-ionic solutions. This study was conducted to determine the ability of Fariman sepiolite for the removal of Cd, Co, and Zn from aqueous solutions, and the effect of different factors, such as contact time and initial solution pH, as well as application of heating pretreatments (150 and 250 Cᵒ) on adsorption process of the mentioned elemnts. . Method: All the experiments were done in 11 contact times from 5 to 2880 minutes, in three replications and at pH values of 4 and 5. After determining the remained amounts of each heavy metal in the centrifuged suspension solutions by atomic absorption machine, the experimental data were fitted by pseudo first order, pseudo second order, and intraparticle diffusion kinetic models. Findings: The results showed that the adsorption potential of the heavy metals depended on contact time, solution pH, and physicochemical characteristics of the elements. Accordingly, by increasing the contact time and pH of solutions, adsorption rate of the heavy metals increased in an order of Co>Zn>Cd. Moreover, the results illustrated that application of heat treated sepiolite particles, compared to natural sepiolite, increases the removal efficiency of the heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Conclusion: Results illustrated that application of heating pretreated sepiolite leads to greater removal of heavy metals in the solutions studied. Besides, greater efficiency in removal of heavy metals would be attained in pH= 5 as compared to pH=4. Manuscript profile -

However, the parameters may have a significant influence on each other. A decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) can be used to construct a network relationship map. On the other hand, according to the information is incomplete, uncertainty is an inseparable part of making decision in solving the MCDM problems. Therefore, this paper proposes a new hybrid model based on analytic hierarchical process (AHP), DEMATEL, and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques under fuzzy environment to evaluate the problem of the selection of the investment strategy. For achieving the aim, a three-step process is presented to formulate the problem under consideration. First, the structure of the investment problem is broken into a simple hierarchy structure by using the AHP method to simply model the problem and calculate the importance weights of criteria by using a pairwise comparison process. Second, the interdependent relationships are identified by applying the DEMATEL technique. This technique is employed for computing the global weights of benefit, opportunities, cost, and risk (BOCR) factors. Finally, the fuzzy TOPSIS methodology is used for prioritizing the alternatives. To show the effectiveness of the proposed model, a case study is investigated. The results demonstrate that the proposed model is capable of prioritizing the investment strategies.

In this regard and by using a descriptive-analytical method, this main issue was dealt with that why execution of this obligatory act does not have a suitable and decent representation in society and sometimes leads to some likely unpleasant results although it is ordered by the reason and emphasized by the Qur'anic verses and traditions to promote virtues and prevent vices in society to enjoy the numerous blessings. The most important finding of the research indicates the necessity to establish a mandatory organization to define and explain the virtue and vice, especially their emergent instances as well as organizing and providing essential backgrounds for the appropriate and effective implementation of this act in different fields and institutions. The necessity of formation of the abovementioned organization can be proven with reference to the verses and traditions, the norm and method of the scholars, obligatory introduction, and the principle of priority.

This method challenges the depth and connection of words, and leads us to new and dynamic concepts. This research intends, by descriptive-analytical method; The anecdote (parrot and merchant) examines one of the most valuable mystical and allegorical anecdotes of the first book of Masnavi from the point of view of semantics, in order to explain the means of explaining the meaning and the conditions of the actor crossing limited structural boundaries and reaching the transcendental and aesthetic meaning. The active-shushi parrot rises so high in the ranks beyond an ordinary chicken that by distancing itself from the material, it becomes a living and guiding hen and transcends in the direction of divine unity, and the active trader is transformed in the face of deep emotional tension. And in breaking with himself, he walks on the path of happiness and reaches intuitive cognition. Manuscript profile -

It was concluded that in the study of discourse systems in Hadigheh al-Haqqeh, different types of these systems, including Intelligent and Shushi, can be seen that the dominant discourse systems are hadigheh. Cognitive discourse has a more important position in hadigheh anecdote as a mystical discourse, and according to the approach of such discourse, the cognitive process takes a different and sometimes different path in hadigheh anecdote. In the cognitive discourses of Hadigheh Sanaee, factors such as the relationship between effective verb knowing and believing with the question of cognition are discussed and also the relationship between the angle of vision and cognition is discussed. We also concluded that in some haddigheh anecdote, the production of meaning in the context of schema fusion leads to cognition. Manuscript profile -

In this approach, the process of producing meaning is linked to sensory-perceptual conditions, and signs, along with meaning, become fluid, dynamic, plural, and multidimensional. Considering the interpretability and breadth of meaning that can be seen in the mystical anecdotes of Masnavi. This approach was the basis of research in the story of the king and the maid from the first book of Rumi's Masnavi. The present paper, in a descriptive-analytical manner, seeks to examine the types of discourse systems used in this story. The results of this study indicate that discourse is dynamic and discourse evolution has given special effects to the story. Discourse systems have components of action, tension, enlightenment, with phenomenal, transcendental, ecstatic, ethical and cultural functions, and the action system based on stress with high emotional pressure has the most pivotal role. Also in the analysis of the text, how to produce and defer the meaning based on the functions discussed, is explained.Keywords: Sign - Semantics, Narrative, Spiritual Masnavi, King and Slave, Action, Tension, Susa.

TOA and TDOA-based location estimation methods are the most popular location methods and the accuracy of location in these methods naturally depends on the accuracy of TOA estimation. The accuracy of TOA estimation using conventional methods such as the maximum magnification criterion or the maximum posterior probability in different propagation environments is problematic, especially when there is no direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver or the direct path signal is not the strongest received signal. As a result, in these conditions, there is a need for methods that have the ability to separate more and more accurately the received signals from different propagation paths in the time domain. For this reason, in this article, we review the MUSIC method, which is a method with high resolution. The results of this paper show that by having the difference in signal reception time (delay obtained by MUSIC method), to determine the user's location, the resulting hyperbolic equation can be solved by genetic algorithm and the user's location can be determined with higher accuracy and convergence speed.

In these tales, there is more than thought, passion, deception, greed, craziness, deceit, deception, and action in action. In this article, the criterion of the selection of stories is the presence of animal characters active in events and events. Often in these tales only the animal character speaks, sometimes it acts in the nature of animals and has animal motives and sometimes includes motives and deeds attributed to humans. Any trick and no means of thinking can not be done, but must be accompanied by the counsel of the wise.

It should be indicated here that a kind of educational and promotional unparagraphed prose of the gatherings is Sufi preaching. Holding preaching meetings and in a sense, “parliamentary accountability " was an ancient tradition in Iran after Islam and has been considered as a method of understanding the education and promotion of the religious and mystical beliefs. Since the audiences of the preaching assemblies were the common people and the middle and had no ability to perceive the rational arguments like that, eloquent has been attempted to utter the issues in a tangible and perceivable manner for them and was trying to make clear and explain the topics using examples, parables, anecdotes and such cases instead of ratiocinate. In this study, the author, by looking at the prose of Sufi educational assemblies, intends to analyze the plurality of anecdote, parable and allegory, one of the most obvious features such unparagraphed prose and also to investigate of the eloquent and scribes’ objectives and purposes applying these tools and elements in those meetings.

In order to reduce the cloud cover effect, three algorithms were applied to the data. For the digital elevation model, the Digital Surface Model (DSM) of the Japan Space Exploration Agency was used. The relation between two snow-cover phenological components (SCAs and SCDs) and the relation between the SCDs and the altitude were investigated. The findings show an increase in SCDs in the months of November, December, and January. Maximum SCDs are observed in January in Sabalan Mountain and then Sahand. The reduction of SCDs in the spring and summer months is also affected by the two factors of latitude and altitude. The absolute maximum of SCDs in this region is observed at 160 days/ year in the mountain of Sabalan. Examining the changes in SCDs in March and April shows a decrease in SCDs in high-altitude classes. At the same time, it shows the increasing pattern of SCDs in November and December at many altitude levels. Analysis of the relation between SCA and SCDs in different months illustrated that SCAs has decreased in regions with more SCDs (heights) due to the reduction of topographic areas. The relation of SCDs and altitude also showed that the minimum of SCDs occurred in all altitude levels (even altitudes above 3500 m with 4 days) in August and the maximum occurred in December with 22 days at the altitude of 3500 m. SCDs decrease with increasing altitude in mountainous areas of 3500 to 4000 m, due to the increase of land slope and instability of SC in steep areas. Manuscript profile -

The study area was the eastern part of Marivan city that situated in Kurdistan province. A Landsat image was geo-referenced with sub pixel accuracy. First, all bands (1-5 of ETM+ imagery) except band 6 was normalized and then four main indices of FCD Model, including Advanced Vegetation Index, Bare soil Index, Shadow Index and thermal Index was calculated, and the forest canopy density map was derived finally. Forest's canopy densities according to 6, 4 and three classes were classified. To assess the accuracy of classified maps, a ground truth map using aerial photos with the scale 1:20000 was produced. The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient for classification 6 and four classes were obtained equal to 52%, 0.29 and 53%, 0.30, respectively. Spectral similarity between open density classes and irradiance of background soil in these classes reduced the accuracy as the result. Actually, in the dense forest, the result will be more accurate. According to the results, this method could be relatively desired for Zagro's forests. Manuscript profile -

But the wide variety of options and parameters, variables uncertainty and long terms in environmental planning, causes the decision-making becomes more complex. So multi-criteria decision-making methods can meet these challenges. Thus the aim of this study is to identify suitable areas for eco-tourism in Kiamaky wildlife refuge using MCDM method Based on fuzzy logic in GIS. According to the effective criteria on the eco-tourism in this area; obtained from previous research and expert opinions, 15 criteria maps (climate, lithology, height from sea level, slope, aspect, land use and distance maps from residential area, road, river, police station, environmental guard station, sensitive habitats, shrine, spring and waterfall) are produced and classified as input. To determine the weights of criteria, opinions of experts in the form of Delphi Method were applied. The criteria matrix formed and the relative importance of all criteria was defined using the AHP method and pairwise comparison. Finally eco-tourism appropriate priority map was produced using Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method and applying the index of the importance of each criterion to corresponding classified map. According to mentioned map, 15% and 34% of the area eligible for perfect and good for eco-tourism respectively, and 4% of the area are medium for this purpose. In this study, besides confirming previous studies, power and usefulness of GIS in locating and combining different ecological criteria were shown. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, a reliable and timely diagnosis can help psychiatrists in better treating or controlling this disease.Method: Previous studies have demonstrated interdependence impairments between different brain regions in patients with OCD. Hence, this study has provided a new approach based on the decomposition of signals into intrinsic components and extraction of differential transient changes in amplitude envelope and phase spectra of the EEG signal recorded during Flanker tasks. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated using 19 healthy subjects and 11 patients by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier.Result: The obtained results have confirmed the capability of the proposed method in diagnosing the disease with high accuracy of 93.89% using amplitude differential information of the electroencephalogram signal.Conclusion: In comparison between different regions, the statistical features extracted from the frontal lobe, the frontal-parietal network, and the inter-hemispheric features have offered better detection ability.

86 - The Association of Quranic Terms with the Intuition of Verses' uperficial Reality in Islamic Mysticism

The discovery and intuition distinguished from that of the external meaning of the verses’ was considered signs of the intuition being diverted and concealed in the mystic’s definition. Mystical ontology assigns a being to the world’s external dimensions. As a result, the mystical interpreter doesn't confine his interpretation solely to the external implications of terms and attempts to draw his own manifestation of intuitive meanings by firstly taking into account the outer realities of verses and secondly resorting to such intermediaries as dream, allegory, story, preaching, hadith. This paper attempts to analyse the place of quranic terms and the verses’ external realities in the mystic’s innovative mind and tries to prove that what the mystic intuitively witnesses get categorized as the common meaning of interpretation and longitudinal exegesis presented by the mystics.

Usually, participatory projects of urban management that need high investment and have a great complexity in terms of technology and design are considered as participatory macro projects. So the performance evaluation of this kind of projects according to their regional influence is necessary. This study identifies and ranks the performance evaluation criteria of participatory urban management projects to use these criteria for creating a comprehensive approach for performance evaluation. The performance evaluation criteria are obtained for two major projects of Tehran urban management namely neighborhood house and cultural-sports complex by questionnaire with Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.97% coefficient. Then, these criteria are grouped based on the aspects of the Balanced Scorecard including financial, clients, internal processes and learning and growth. Then, using the fuzzy analysis network process, the network structure was designed to display and measure the weight of relationships between criteria and sub-criteria. Finally, two projects are evaluated and ranked by TOPSIS and VIKOR and SAW methods. In the financial, clients, internal processes aspects, neighborhood house project showed a better performance than cultural-sport complex, but in the growth and learning aspect, the result for two projects was almost identical.

The purpose of this paper is to identify Suppliers that have the highest potential capacity to meet the needs companies, with reasonable cost and also reduce the risk and maximize the total value of purchaser. Since suppliers are different in terms of products strengths and weaknesses and general conditions, requires a careful evaluation by the purchaser. In order to do this activity in the Companies, there are many problems; one of those problems is to determine the appropriate criteria for assessing supplier. This is because often need to be expressed in the form of qualitative concepts, while they must be evaluated quantitatively. In addition, in terms of decision makers, importance and priorities of each criterion are different, and this is one of the main reasons that authors are seeking to present a model to select suppliers based on appropriate criteria with emphasis on the importance degree of them in the decision-making process. So at first with reviewing the literature, criteria influencing the choice of suppliers were identified, then using a questionnaire that was completed by a Team of experts to screening criteria was discussed. The qualitative and quantitative data were collected and the importance of effective criteria in supplier selection determined by AHP method and finally suppliers of this company ranked using Grey COPRAS method. The most important criteria for evaluation supplier were assets and infrastructure (0.275) and Behran supplier was identified as the best supplier. Manuscript profile -

This book focuses on human and community attitudes in traditional society. Most of Marzbannameh's stories are allegorical and animalistic. The main reason for using animal characters is probably political and social content. Borderline stories illustrate the function of power in societies. By analyzing the anecdote, one can examine the structure of political culture and its impact on individual and social behaviors. The prevailing political culture in society is related to human relations. In this anecdote, the allegorical characters are the successor characters, that is, the animal is the successor to the thinking, the mood, and the intended concepts of the author and narrator. In this study, the lion, as a symbol of power, is at the top of the pyramid of power, and the force that causes the lion to occupy such a position is his power, power, and dominance over others. The ruler or ruler in the hierarchy of power must delegate duties and responsibilities to persons who have the competence, competence, and ability to perform those tasks, and are not disruptive of order and security as they enter the lion's court. From the educational point of view, we can also mention the losses of the oppression and the consequence of the oppressors of the oppressors of the foregoing and the impatient extremists who seek to preserve their lives, their political position and their status.

Extents of disturbance area particularly waste dumps are also being increased as mining continues. Hence, environmental management and reclamation of mined lands play a major role in environmental protection in a specified mining region. With this respect, this paper describes optimum plant selection for reclamation process of mining in Chadormaloo mining complex as a case study. In all type of post mining land use such as Agriculture, Pasture, Forestry, Tourist attraction, Wild life creation, selection and planting the appropriate plant species is one the most essential requirements to successful implement the mine reclamation plan. The Research methodology is, Selecting of plant species that is on the basis of the primary factors that are: type of post mining land use, Climate, Nature­ of soil. Then priority is defined between the selected species, based on of the secondary factors by two Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) models that criteria are perspective of the region, resistance against disease and insects,­ strength and method of growth, availability of plant type, economic efficiency, protection of soil and storing water, prevention from pollution. These models are implemented by FUZZY AHP and FUZZY TOPSIS methods. The mentioned procedure was applied to Chadormaloo iron mine in Iran. Decision making was executed on the basis of oral judgments and experts’ opinions in the case study. Results showed that among candidate plants, Artemisia sieberi, Salsola yazdiana, Halophytes types, and Zygophyllum, respectively, are ranked and prioritized as optimum plants for reclamation process using two methods.

In atmospheric correction of satellite images, it is necessary to identify and use the specifications of the atmosphere during satellite crossing. For this purpose, in this research, designed and constructed an optimal sun-photometer system to determine the local atmospheric parameter. LabVIEW environment has been used to record Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data and guide motors in two axes for accurate sun tracking. In this research, by calculating the aerosols optical depth and studying its behavior on different days, two CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor) sensors have been compared to record data. A comparison of the two sensors under the same conditions showed that the responsibility of the CCD sensor is more linear than the CMOS sensor. To evaluate the performance of the designed sun-photometer system, the MODIS sensor data of Aqua and Terra satellites were used. The results showed the high capability of the developed system in measuring AOD in comparison to MODIS AOD data. By comparing the CCD and CMOS sensor data with the Terra satellite data, 80% and 71% data matching, respectively, are observed. Manuscript profile -

In this research, geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria decision-making models have been used to perform some stages of spatial analysis, and then the development of a group decision support system for aggregating and selecting the final alternative has been discussed. A two-step method was proposed in this research to create limited decision-making options. In the first stage, creating standard criteria maps including five items with spatial analysis and normalization was done in ArcGIS software. According to the studies, the weight of each criterion was determined and the weighted overlapping of the layers was done. After applying the limiting options, six areas were determined to perform web-based location selection. In the second stage, a group spatial decision support system was developed. Using Visual Studio environment and C# programming language and .NET technology, a website was designed for the participation of experts in this field. In the architecture of this system, ASPMap technology, including a set of controls and map components, and location-based tools, was embedded on the server side of the program. User weighting of the criteria was done in the forms designed by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). With the help of stored procedures in a SQL Server database, the average value of each of the selected points is calculated online based on the opinions of the group. Finally, the point that had the highest value in the average of the opinions of different users was introduced as the best place to build a shopping center. The research results showed that the proposed method has high flexibility, speed, and ease in applying group opinions. Manuscript profile -

Continuous surveillance and monitoring of these areas is one of the main priorities of the border guard forces and one of the main components of ensuring the security of these areas. With the advancements in space and aerial imaging technologies, border monitoring operations have been done more quickly and accurately. Iran is known as one of the risky border countries due to the extent of border lines and the presence of numerous terrorist groups around its borders that identifying and eliminating these potential and actual risks requires intelligence elites regarding threatening events in these areas. Based on the needs of the border guards in order to identify the passage routes of criminals and terrorist groups, in this research, a method to detect and identify the tracks of vehicles using multi-time SAR images has been presented. First, the used images were modified in terms of the required pre-processing and the errors of SAR images, and in the next step, using phase information and the Coherence Change Detection (CCD) algorithm, the track of the vehicle was identified in the images. In order to evaluate the capability of the proposed method, the usual methods of detecting changes were also applied to the images. The results of the research show the high capability of the proposed method in identifying unauthorized border crossing corridors. The results of this research can be used as one of the components of security at the borders of the country. Manuscript profile -

In this article, the risk of failure in sewerage networks was conducted based on the combination of the probability of failure and the consequences of failure in the 4th water and sewerage area of Tehran. For this purpose, Bayesian networks were first used to obtain the probability of failure. The network was formed based on features such as deposits, pipe leakage, corrosion, pipe wear, and pipe deformation. For 1610 pipes, 70% of which were used for training and 30% for testing, the probability of pipe blockage was 6.7%, the probability of hydraulic failure was 2.2%, the probability of structural failure was 0.3%, and the total probability of failure for pipes was 8.7%. The overall average accuracy of this step was estimated at 76%. In estimating the consequences of failure, spatial analysis in GIS and the DEA multi-criteria decision-making method were used. Spatial analysis such as buffer for 9 spatial criteria made it possible to score pipes with high speed and efficiency in case of failure and its impact on the surroundings. The DEA method has the advantages of using objective and subjective data as well as reducing the number of pairwise comparisons. Finally, with the effect of PoF and CoF values on each other, the risk of pipe failure was obtained and by ranking them, 9 items in the network were identified as critical pipes. The results showed that such an approach has high reliability and the risk of failure can be estimated with proper accuracy. Manuscript profile -

The important virolence factors of this bacteria is A and B toxins. the clinical demonstration of Clostridium difficile infection range from asymptomatic colonization, to sever diarrhea, pseudo membranous colitis, toxic megacolon and death. The purpose of this study was to extract Clostridium difficile cells from faecal samples and develop a routine diagnostic laboratory method using qPCR to identify this bacteria with high sensitivity and accuracy. 100 clinical samples were collected within 6 months from patients being treated at Ayyatollah Taleghani education and treatment medical center. a standard strain was obtained from Pasteur Institue micobial seed bank. For determination of the specificity of the method being developed, the DNA of Escherichia coli, Shigella, Shigelladysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, Yersinia Entrocolitica were extracted and analyzed along with a primer designed for Toxin A in Clostridium difficile using q PCR. After optimization of the test conditions, 100 clinical samples were evaluated. Among the samples, 9 of them were (9%) positive. For evaluation of the sensitiviy of the test, the obtained DNA from the bacteria was diluted, and further analyzed using qPCR. To determine the specificity of the test, the genome of diarrhea causing bacteria were used which lead to positive results only from the genome of Clostridium difficile. Based on the obtained results, the sensitivity and precision of qPCR in rapid detection of 100 pg of DNA was determined. Manuscript profile -

Meanwhile we can’t easily ignore the role of conflict between decision makers. This conflict overshadows key elements of decision. In fuzzy group multi criteria decision making, it is possible to see conflict in each criteria. So it will be a new Approach in multi criteria decision makings. Conflicts Classifying and facing each level in every criterion makes the base of method which is proposed in this research. Typically, this Approach in the environment would be no crisp, and will need to use reasoning which controls fuzzy environment. This classifying is able to help decision makers in their committee to screen criteria and alternatives on one hand and Third-party intervention on the other hand.

An Organization that decides to outsource part of its activities will initially raise the question of what activities to outsource. However, given the absence of a solid scientific and systematic framework and processes for strategic decision-making of outsourcing services, organizations face diverse problems. The Purpose of this article was to utilize Decision tools with multiple criteria in order to identify and rank the indicators that may affect the business process outsourcing. Also, we used the techniques of Analytic Hierarchical Process in order to calculate the weight of these factors and options raised in the business process outsourcing. Also the magnitude of relationships between the indicators of outsourcing (IT) was examined using DEMATEL technique. Manuscript profile -

Although more than 85% of Iranian people are MoreBased on World Health Organization (WHO) report, our society’s health ranks 123 among 192 countries. Unfortunately, this ranking position is very low and its main reason is malnutrition due to imbalanced fertilization. Although more than 85% of Iranian people are not hungry, about 90% of them are suffering from cell hunger, because agricultural authorities and hence producers do not pay attention to food security. According to the latest information, about 86.5% of applied fertilizers in our country appertain to urea and triple super phosphate. In fact, this is an alarming issue in respect to the production of healthy agricultural products and it remains a threat to food security. At present, a total subsidy of more than 7,000 billion rials is paid for nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P) fertilizers. Whereas, it should be considered that, firstly, the efficiency of these fertilizers, due to different reasons such as mismanagement and existing subsidy level, is low and, secondly, the overuse of these fertilizers causes the accumulation of nitrate (NO3) and cadmium (Cd) in agricultural products. Furthermore, according to the law of minimum, the overdosed fertilizers do not have any special positive effect on sustainable production and society’s health. Paying for such high-cost subsidy just for N and P-fertilizers has caused farmers to overuse and waste these fertilizers in the country and moreover not having any tendency to apply biologic, organic and micronutrient fertilizers. Whereas, the application of these fertilizers, beside their adaptability with the environment, has a very positive effect on the human health. Therefore, at this time scientific management of production and application of all kinds of fertilizers is inevitable. In this case, by improving the quality of all types of fertilizers, and following the principle of balanced fertilization, besides achieving the desired yield increase, the quality of agricultural products will be enhanced and the level of society’s health will be promoted automatically. Furthermore, there is a close and positive relationship between balanced fertilization and production of healthy agricultural products. The authorities of the Ministry of Jehad-e- Agriculture are supposed to consider this important principle for a) supplying suitable kinds and amounts of fertilizers during application seasons in producing agricultural products; b) banning the act of burning the plants' residues; c) considering the rules of balanced fertilization; d) enrichment of agricultural products on the farm; e) scientific management of production and application of all kinds of fertilizers; f) implementing the criteria set for Article 61 of the Fourth Development Plan; g) avoiding the import of P-fertilizers which contain Cd in excess of 25 mg/kg and h) removing the subsidy on N and P-fertilizers in order to increase the yield and quality of agricultural products and enhance society's health.

For this purpose, after soil preparation, sampling of sewage sludge and assessment of the physicochemical properties of the samples, leek and peppermint plants were divided as treatment and control groups. Afterwards, using ICP-OES the concentrations of Pb and Cd were determined in the tissues of peppermint and leek. Results showed that the concentration (mean ± SD) of Pb in the control and treatment groups was 0.26±0.08 and 0.55±0.16 mg/kg, respectively. Pb concentration in peppermint samples was estimated as 0.26±0.06 and 2.41±0.79 mg/kg for control and treatment group, respectively. Moreover, the mean concentration of Cd in control and treatment groups of leek was 0.083±0.003 and 0.26±0.05 mg/kg and for peppermint 0.057±0.002 and 0.14±0.02 mg/kg, respectively. Comparative evaluation of the evaluated treatments showed that except for Cd in leek and peppermint treatment samples, the mean concentrations of Pb and Cd in both vegetables were significantly lower than EPA permissible limits for human consumption. The results of this study indicated that for reducing the health risks of long-term use of sewage sludge as fertilizer, further monitoring should be performed. Manuscript profile -

The research’s methodology was established based on GIS spatial decision making systems. It should be mentioned that decreasing nonrenewable sources' process has been considered as one of the serious challenges. Thus, using solar energy is a solution to deal with this challenge. The high topoclimatic and physical properties of the East Azerbaijan tends to establish solar panels for producing electricity. In order to evaluate the possibility of establishing solar systems, within this research we aim to apply GIS-multi criteria decision making models for integrating the data and selecting to potential sites for solar panels. To achieve this, the prior options from different options of analyses network model (ANP) was applied for analyzing the criteria. As part of methodology, the Landsat satellite was used for extracting land use/cover. The SRTM dataset also employed for exploring the elevation, slope, aspect and solar shining. The climate dataset were used for monitoring climatological parameters such as raining, temperature, humidity, number of dusty days, number of cloudy days and sunny hours within the period of 1986 to 2014. Finally the solar panel suitability maps achieved by compounding the informative layers and multiplying those criteria were accessed from executing the model. The results indicated that 48.61% of the study area has very high suitability for solar panels programs. While the northern parts of East Azerbaijan province includes very low potentiality for producing solar based energy. Manuscript profile -

In order to understand the views more clearly, this paper has deployed the method of CDA which includes theoretical and experimental procedures to investigate the relationship between discourse and social and cultural developments. Accordingly, two samples of Hafiz sonnets were studied through the three stages description, interpretation, and articulation. This analysis showed that Hafiz is a mixture of lyricism and sense, interpretation of which apart from Quran is non-sense. Hafiz believes in introversive revolution as a rational practice which is incompatible with asceticism. The nature of this procedure is to eliminate the redundancies rather than piling up a mass of empty talk, through which the mentor just acts as a pioneer, non-dominant over the voyager at all. some of Hafiz sonnets were studied through the three stages description, interpretation, and articulation. This analysis showed that Hafiz is a mixture. Manuscript profile -

The results indicate that the role of oil price shocks on the development price uncertainty is asymmetric in world markets and the shocks formed in this setting have asymmetric effects on the economy in both groups. But, the asymmetry in the OECD countries and the effects of OPEC, are greater. Of course, the impact of shocks increase when occurred after a stable period of oil price. Furthermore, a shock which influences positively a group ( OPEC or OECD), has negative impact on the other group. Manuscript profile -

Iran, like other developing world has experienced a high level of urbanization growth which transformed the physical fabric of urban areas. North of Iran is one of most rapid growing region of the country where the moderate climate and a tourism based economy encouraged many developers to investigate in housing sector. So, the primary outcome of such process was the out-growth of the city boundaries in the region. This research attempts to present an appropriate model for urban physical development. The study is based on the different parameters such as environmental and socio-economic factors to provide a good understanding of the city behavior in its geographical setting. Through applying the Multi-Criteria Decision Model (MCDA) and GIS, the most appropriate area will be introduced for near future development. The results revealed that the integrated GIS and MCDA model has many potentials which allow the planner or user investigate the final decision for site selection for future urban physical development.

Tone has always been considered as one of the most important elements of creating space and influencing the audience, because it expresses the inner feelings and emotions of the author. Based on the chosen subject, an author should be able to choose, far from artificiality, a tone that suits his/ her text. After introducing the tone, its types and manner of its formation, this descriptive-analytical study tries to consider the tone of Attār of Nishapur in opposition to the worldly authorities in the book of Mantiq-u-Tayr and to introduce its different types. The results of the study show that anecdotes are one of the most important areas of tone expression, because they are dialogue-oriented and are formed in dialogue. Attār of Nishapur has created different tones in composing Mantiq-u-Tayr, as one of the most important works of mystical poetry. In general, the tone of protest, especially the protest against the rulers and sultans in his works is more noticeable than other tones. Attār uses a variety of tones against those in power, including the protest tone, the preaching tone, the warning tone, etc., each of which is described separately Manuscript profile -

The discourses in adjacent to their former semiotics and in interaction with other semiotics has found independent entity with a new semantic sense. This research demonstrates new approaches in aspects of communication to open new horizon of meanings for the reader. The researcher investigates the semiotics and their approach in semantic based on “Ganj-e-Baqdadi” anecdote. The research aims to investigate the semiotics not only in singular way but also in relation to collection of other semiotics causing meaning construction in communication meanwhile, the possibility and accessibility of character of the communication in the anecdote is considered. The key point is that semiotics in an interactive process lead to meaning creation, artistic generation and eloquence.This research has answered to the following questions . This research strongly aims to investigate in which circumstance of discourse the process of evolution and chaos in discourse of this anecdote happen? How the discourse change does result in dynamic meanings? Which discourse-base system outperform considering the mythological-based of it? What is the basis of mystical semiotics change ?Considering mystical based of Masnavi-Maanavi, which discourse approach represents it more? The research results in the impossibility of study on meaning regardless of its application in discourse which meaning creation flow is shaped there. Then after, it creates evolution in semantics. Generally speaking, this research aims to investigate different schools of discourse. Manuscript profile -

The study aimed to investigate the mediating role of ego strength in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and ROCD symptoms. The population comprised all students at the University of Tehran and the sample group consisted of 430 students (324 female, 106 male) who administered the Ego Strength Scale (ESS; Besharat, 2017), Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale (IUS; Carleton et al. 2007), and Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Inventory (ROCI; Doron et al., 2012). The hypothesized mediation model provided fit to the data, The correlation between intolerance of uncertainty and ROCD symptoms was significantly positive, and between ego strength and ROCD symptoms was significantly negative. The study findings suggest that ego strength mediated the association between intolerance of uncertainty and ROCD symptoms. According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that intolerance of uncertainty and ego strength can predict the severity of ROCD symptoms. Considering these variables may be important in the processes of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of ROCD symptoms. Manuscript profile -

After samples were biometrically determined; muscle tissues, skin and the liver were separated and chemically digested by wet digestion. To measure the amount of heavy metals in samples, ICP-OES model Liberty RL device was used. According to the results, the least amount of Lead in Sillago sihama and Terapon Jarbuawas was found in muscle tissues (57 mg/kg and 64 mg/kg respectively) and the highest amount was seen in the liver (1280 mg/kg and 1763 mg/kg) and the least amount of Cadmium was observed in muscle tissues (Sillago sihama and Terapon Jarbua, there is no significant difference at 95% confidence level between the metals in all three tissues. Comparing the tissues of two fish species on the absorption of Lead and Cadmium depicts no significant difference in the confidence level of 95%. To evaluate the safety of studied fish tissues for consumption, the amount of metals in the tissues were compared with WHO (Pb: 500mg/kg, Cd: 200mg/kg) standards, which indicated no significant differences. Based on the mentioned results and calculation of the acceptable daily intake, the consumption of these fish species, regarding health aspects, is confirmed. Manuscript profile -

The optimum pH for adsorption of the metal ions was 6.5 and the recovery was above 80%. The effect of temperature on adsorption was investigated. The results showed that the best adsorption was at 25 ͦC and concentration of 100 mg/L. Hence with increasing concentration the adsorption of mentioned ions increased by this resin. The best adsorption was at room temperature, thereby increasing stability of resin with lowest cost. In the column method, the flow rate of the solution passing through the column for maximum adsorption of metal ions was optimized and 0.5 M nitric acid was used as the eluting solvent. The concentrations of metal ions were detected using atomic absorption spectroscopy. With batch method, Zn2+ and Cd2+ concentrations in water sample were 0.000915 mg/L and lower than sensitivity detection limit of the instrument, respectively. Thereafter, for determination of zinc and cadmium ions in Persian Gulf sea water samples, preconcentration process with 100 and 10 times concentration factor was performed, respectively.

Candida albicans is the most common opportunistic fungal pathogen. Continuous deployment of antifungals against this pathogen has led to the emergence and increasing of the multi-drug resistance. In this study, the effect of nanoparticle-encapsulated curcumin on CDR1 gene expression was evaluated in fluconazole-resistant isolates of C. albicans. Materials & Methods: In this study, 6 fluconazole-resistant isolates of C. albicans were treated just by fluconazole (1/2MIC) as the control sample and in the combination with nanoparticle-encapsulated curcumin as the test sample. After 24h, two cell groups were cultured in Sabouraud Dextrose Agar to estimate cell death percentage. Following RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, CDR1 gene expression was investigated quantitatively by real-time PCR method in both curcumin-treated and untreated cells. Results: Our findings showed that the combination of fluconazole (1/2MIC) and nanoparticle-encapsulated curcumin treatment reduces the fungal growth by 50% after 24 h. Moreover, quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that nanoparticle-encapsulated curcumin decreases the expression level of CDR1. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that curcumin can inhibit fungal growth through different mechanisms such as decreasing the number of ABC efflux pumps at the cell surface and synergically increases the antifungal effect of fluconazole in resistant isolates of C. albicans.

It specially holds a prominent place in didactic and mystic works and has been in particular and individually referred to in some texts; contrary to expectations, however, there is no chapter dedicated specifically to this concept in the works created by Saadi. It has rather been briefly pointed out in his anecdotes. At first, he attributes this trait to the God and correlates it with the “concealing” attribute of the God. He, then, invites regnant in his aphorisms to show forgiveness. That might be the reason why the concept is more referred to in the first chapter (Kings’ Way of Life). As Saadi puts it, the kings, who often had erratic nature and handed down stiff sentences, mostly forgave disfavored through intermediation of third parties, considering an elegant speech or an epigram favored by his royal nature , a reply or reasoning by the disfavored or someone else or beholding a behavior exhibited by the disgraced. He attributes the trait to the God’s fellows as well and regarding Dervish ethics tells two anecdotes validating this statement. It is worthwhile mentioning that regardless of all his commendations concerning forgiveness, he believes that the kings sometimes offer forgiveness unduly and by mistake to oppressors and corrupt agents.

The agricultural sector has a major share of Iran's GDP, employment and food security. The main objectives of this study are to identify and prioritize investment potentials in the agricultural sector of Mazandaran province using multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) models. For this purpose, 8 investment options of the province, including: pressurized irrigation, construction of gardens and pastures, electrification of wells, poultry farming, watershed management, conversion industries, fisheries and greenhouses were selected. Increasing production capacity was compared and prioritized. The results showed that in the criterion of the return on investment period and the rate of return on capital, activities that do not require group work and have fewer employees are a priority. Also, according to the final calculations, the processing industry has the first priority in the investment of the province's agricultural sector, and watershed management, construction of gardens and pastures, poultry farming, pressurized irrigation, fisheries and aquaculture, electrification of wells and finally greenhouses in the second to eighth priority were placed.Based on the research results, it was suggested that facilitating the inflow of funds into the agricultural sector and the impact of government fiscal policies on private sector activities should be considered by policy makers and the policy of reform and development of the financial sector should be a priority in the country.

Growing cases of corporate scams and scandals have pushed investors to consider the quality of corporate governance and the ethics of their behavior. Also, investors are becoming aware of the desirability of moral aberration of assets.The growing influence of institutional investors has strengthened this awareness. Hence, in order to research in this field, there should be an understanding of the progress made in constructing models that are consistent with financially ethical considerations. We use multiple methodologies to achieve this goal. To obtain the ethical performance scores of each asset, based on the investor's preferences, a hierarchical process approach has been used. A multi-faceted decision-making method is used to obtain the rating of each asset based on the investor's rate on the financial benchmark. Model of portfolio optimization is available to obtain diverse, reliable, and well-matched portfolio portfolios. The purpose of this model is to maximize the financial purpose as the primary purpose and maximize the ethical goal adopted by the investor. Manuscript profile -

In order to optimize the conditions for obtaining smallest mean particle size, Central Composite Design (CCD) was used and three parameters of temperature, weight ratio of precursors, and pH value were studied in five levels. The obtained ZnWO4 nanoparticles were characterized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric- differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) and photoluminescence (PL). The results showed that optimal conditions for smallest mean nanoparticles with particle size of 37.3 6.9 nm were temperature =83 , weight ratio of precursor equal to 1.1, and pH=6. The resulting ZnWO4 nanoparticles were dry- pressed to green compact pellets with a diameter of 11mm and thickness of 1.5 nm at the compaction pressure of 500 MPa. The densification of nanoparticles compacts was carried out by a pressure less sintering at 950 for 2 hours in air atmosphere. Scintillation properties of pellets were determined by means of Gama-rays spectroscopy. The results showed that manufactured ZnWO4 pellets illustrated counting sensitivity to Cs137 and Am241 irradiation sources and couldn’t detect energy of Gama-rays emitted from this two source.

The two variables of the synthesis method are, respectively, the temperature gradient reaching the temperature of the heat treatment of 500 ° C at 10°C/sec, 35°C/sec and 60 °C/sec and the pure oxygen pressure as the heat treatment atmosphere for 0.5 hours, at 0.5 psi, 1 psi, and 1.5 psi. So, we found 9 samples, that the sample with the best sensitivity response to formaldehyde was characterized. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transition electron microscopy and X-ray fluorescence experiments were used to study the structure of these nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction experiment is confirmed formation of nickel ferrite and cadmium oxide phases. Scanning electron microscopy and transition electron microscopy experiments are confirmed nickel ferrite and cadmium oxide being nano-structure. NiFe2O4-CdO formula ratio is confirmed by X-ray fluorescence experiment. The sensitivity property of NiFe2O4-CdO nanoparticles for formaldehyde gas detection was studied at 50 °C. For testing the sensitivity of nanosensors, we used a laboratory 5 liters system with temperature and humidity control. This system equipped with a temperature control heater for heating sensors. Relationship between gas concentration (from 10 ppm to 200 ppm) and resistance change of nano sensor with the best response to formaldehyde was investigated, that this relationship was found linear.

For better coordination of embryo and endometrium and also higher implantation rate, it is preferable to cryopreserved blastocyst than other stages. During cryopreservation, however, presence of blastocoelic fluid causes serious embryo damage, by ice crystal formation. Therefore in this study, the blastocoelic fluid was removed by a mechanical microneedle procedure and then quality of blastocysts was assessed by cellular and molecular methods. For this purpose, 421 of the NMRI mouse IVF produced blastocysts, randomly divided into three groups. The first group after placing in cryopreservation media, immersed in liquid nitrogen by cryotop and then thawed. The second group after artificial collapse techniques was immediately vitrified-thawed. Then both groups in terms of survival, hatching and gene expression compared with results of the third group (control). Comparison of the results showed that non-significant reduction in survival rate and significant reduction in hatching rate was occurred after vitrification. By puncturing the blastocoelic cavity before vitrification, hatching rate was significantly increased. Also Eomes and Cdx2 expression after the artificial collapse were reduced in compared with vitrification, but this result was closer to control genes expression (p Manuscript profile -

Since no organization can have infinite resources, strategists must decide on which strategy among various ones can lead to maximum profit. SWOT analysis enables managers to discover and identify internal and external factors affecting strategies of the organization. Therefore, the above-mentioned analysis is an appropriate tool to formulate strategies; however, it does not have the capability to evaluate the dependency of identified factors. In this study, a Fuzzy-ANP model is used to support SWOT process. This model considers not only the internal dependency of factors but also the ambiguity that appears in the opinions of decision makers by the application of the model in the fuzzy environment; although that the current techniques such as AHP consider factors independently. The network model presented here to analyze SWOT consists of four levels: the goal (best strategy) is in the first level; SWOT criteria, 4 main criteria and 24 sub-criteria are in the second and third level respectively; and finally alternatives (4 strategy). To calculate weights of SWOT factors, based on ANP method, a questionnaire in the form of paired comparison is designed and then given to the experts of the company studied. Afterwards, the geometric mean is applied, and finally based on ANP model, SO strategy with maximum weight is selected for the company. Manuscript profile -

The root of these dissatisfactions should be sought in what factors? The truth is that in many periods the country had undergone such agitation and turbulence that even great sufi figures had begun to raise their voices. In addition to the worldliness and indifference towards religious teachings particularly oblivion of the remembrance of God from the mind, and tongue of people, and those in power in everyday life and formation of conflicts between fanatical groups, attachment to wealth and position by the religious authorities and certainly the sensitive temperament of sufi figures are among the influential factors causing dissatisfactions.

However criticism is a scientific tool and every text, whether classic or contemporary, from the modern perspective is prone to criticism and examination. One of the literary genres which has undergone significant changes over the recent years is the short story and a new offshoot of storytelling which becomes shorter and more concise each day is termed minimalism and as the name suggests in Farsi it is named and . They both share common characteristics. In rich classic Persian literature whether in prose or poetry, there are numerous anecdotes and stories which in many respects fall into the category of minimalistic stories. The present article is an attempt to present and examine examples of such stories fromMoulana’s Divan Kabir. Manuscript profile -

The treated pots received 20 earthworm individuals with 0, 150 and 300 mg/kg of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). The increase of Cd and Pb concentrations led to higher Cd and Pb accumulation in grains. Pb highly accumulated in roots; however, Cd root accumulation was 63% less. Also, an increment of 14% was observed in plant tolerance index in presence of earthworm up-taking considerable amount of Pb and Cd. More tolerated plants against Pb was because of higher Pb translocation to shoots than Cd. Higher concentrations of Pb and Cd in soils severely decreased earthworm population and increased their accumulation in earthworm, indicating the success of the earthworm in the bio-remediation of heavy metals. Furthermore, Pb accumulated in higher levels than Cd in earthworm bodies. Therefore, earthworm application is recommended in bio-remediation of soils contaminated to heavy metals.

264 - Land capability classification of Khezrabad plain on the basis of Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI) for Amygdalus communis cultivation
Mohammad Hassan Sadeghi RaveshTo feasibility development of <em>Amygdalus communis</em> cultivation, land capability classification on the basis of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI) indices was studied in Khezrabad desert area (with 53˚, 55&ce MoreTo feasibility development of <em>Amygdalus communis</em> cultivation, land capability classification on the basis of Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI) indices was studied in Khezrabad desert area (with 53˚, 55¢ - 54˚, 20' E and 31˚, 45¢- 32˚, 15¢ N), in Yazd province. In this study, the environmental vulnerability index was determined in each work unit; then the final maps of land potential with a 1:50000 scale resolutions were obtained by units with the same class, by Arc View<sub>3.2</sub> software. The results showed that 22.43% of the whole studied area (17604 ha) was proper for almond cultivation. This part is located at mountainous and hilly areas. These areas have better ecological and biological conditions comparing to other parts of studied area. According to the results, EVI index was suitable ability for zoning of land capabilities for <em>Amygdalus communis</em> cultivation. The results could be apply for decreasing the risk of agricultural development projects and making balance between development projects and environment according to priorities and zonation of land capability of the area.

Purslane is also highly tolerant against lack of water and salinity and can be regarded as a hyper accumulator of heavy metals. To study the effect of the nickel and cadmium on growth, yield and other characters of <em>Portulacaoleracea</em> L. a pot experiment was carried out in a completely randomized factorial design with three replications in the field of Azad University of Shahrekord, Iran, in the spring and summer of 2012. Treatments of this experiment included different levels of nickel (0, 20, 60, 120 mg/kg) and different levels of cadmium (0, 5, 20, 40 mg/kg). The results of this research showed that different levels of nickel and cadmium have a significant effect on the morphological and physiological characters of <em>Portulacaoleracea</em> L. and along with increasing the concentration of the heavy metals, these characters significantly decreased in comparison with the control plants. In classifying the averages of height, shoot and root dry matter and percentage of the extract, the highest amount belonged to the control plants and the lowest amount to the plants under combined treatment of nickel (120 mg/kg) and cadmium (40 mg/kg) and the single treatment of cadmium (40 mg/kg). Furthermore, the toxic properties of cadmium are more than nickel decreased most of measured characters. Manuscript profile
