  The Badakhshan region in the northeast of Afghanistan has a complex geology that was created as a result of the collision of the Indian and Eurasian blocks. Using EMME seismographic catalogue data, with updates (years 2011-2021), from the website of Harvard University, International Seismic Research Centre (ISC) and USGS, a catalogue of earthquake epicentres. A device has been prepared. Then, according to the last earthquake of magnitude 7.2 in 2015, coefficients a and b have been calculated at the surface and depth. This value for b value is 1.0 in the northern half and a value is 7.9 in the southern half. The numerical increase of a and b in the central and southern half after the 2015 event has been quite evident. Earthquake prediction in the southern half of Badakhshan will increase in the future. According to the trend of earthquakes, the results indicate that contrary to the direction of the main fault in North Badakhshan (North-South), the highest frequency of earthquakes is 4≤ at a depth of 70-150 km, earthquakes are 5≤, and the depth of 150-300km from the earth and finally 6≤ at the depth of 300-700km in the east-west direction. This area is exactly where the Pamir Corridor plate subducts due to the pressure of the Indian plate in the west and southwest of Badakhshan. The tectonic situation of the region subducts to the south and southwest and causes compression and bending in the south of Badakhshan. Manuscript profile

  2 - Rakhsh or Dakhsh? (The study of the record of a word in Shahnameh)

  In the past few decades one of the difficulties and questions in the field of philology of Shahnameh is the ambiguity concerning the record of either “Rakhsh” or “Dakhsh” used in the phrasal verb “to rakkhsh/Dakhsh with the meaning of “ to darken “ in four couplets of Shahnameh.  The majority of shahnameh manuscripts in this regard is “Rakhsh” and the choice of most editions and authentic emendations except for the text edited by Dr Khaleghi Motlagh and his colleagues is “Dakhsh”.  The word “dakhsh” which means “dark” apparently was first recorded in Jahangiri Dictionary compiled (1017 H.G) with reference from Shahnameh and then was repeated in other Dictionaries. The author of this article based on certain documents assumes that the latter form if genuine is more accurate and is more superior to Rakhsh. Moreover it is likely that in Shahnameh manuscripts it would have been altered to a more familiar and simple form of Rakhsh.  Rakhsh and “to Rakhsh” with the meaning of “to darken” is not seen in Farsi Dictionaries and texts and the etymology of this word is also completely opposite of this meaning, however the suggested etymologies for Dakhsh confirms the meaning of “blackness” for it.
