        Students are the main customers of the education system in universities and measure the quality of educational services by their expectations and perceptions of the services received; Therefore, now in all scientific centers of the world, students' views on all aspects of educational services provided in higher education institutions are considered as a necessary factor in monitoring the quality of education. Accordingly, this study was conducted with the aim of mediating the role of student satisfaction in the relationship between service quality and student loyalty. The statistical population of this study consists of graduate students of the University of Isfahan, whose number is about 4469 people. To select the sample size using Cochran's formula, a sample of 351 people was selected in a stratified manner appropriate to the volume. To measure the quality of services, Shahverdiani (2010) questionnaire, student loyalty and student satisfaction questionnaire of Zandavanian et al (1397) were used. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and its composite reliability and validity were evaluated by construct and content validity. The research hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation modeling technique. The results showed that from five dimensions of service quality, tangible factors, reliability and empathy have a positive and significant effect on student satisfaction, but Responsiveness, Assurance does not have a significant effect on student satisfaction. On the other hand, student satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on student loyalty. The results of mediator role also showed that student satisfaction plays a mediating role in the relationship between tangible and reliability factors and empathy with student loyalty, but student satisfaction does not play a mediating role in the relationship between Responsiveness and Assurance with student loyalty.

        Many countries around the world are facing important problems in the field of water resources manage-ment. Due to reasons such as corruption, lack of civil society and inefficiency of the administrative structure in developing countries, and issues such as unsustainable consumption patterns, excessive use of resources, etc., have made the water governance system face challenges in industrialized or developed countries. In Iran, the problem of water shortage has become critical, serious and widespread, which has involved many sectors, including economy, society, environment, agriculture, etc. Because water govern-ance refers to all the activities that are involved in the policy-making and decision-making process regarding the development and management of water resources, and It also represents a change in gov-ernment-society relations in countries that have fundamentally developed water-related activities, There-fore, according to the current conditions and the global water crisis, the necessity of a fundamental change in the management of water resources is inevitable. The results of the research show that the water crisis in Iran, especially in the case of the Zayandeh River, is caused by the lack of water management and neglect of the role of water governance. On the other hand, good governance, as a type of governance that guarantees public welfare and individual rights, has indicators that are considered as the basic foundations needed to evaluate the state of water governance in each region. The Zayandeh River of Isfahan, has experienced an intensification of the drying process every year more than the previous year, which has had several consequences, and the solution to the water crisis in this region is to transition to good governance, efficient and compatible with historical, cultural, social and economic conditions of the region. This article was prepared in a review method with the help of library and internet sources, and its purpose is to examine the role of good governance in manageming the water crisis of the Zayandeh Rood River in Isfahan.

        Identifying and analyzing the future is one of the basic needs of today’s organizations in order to survive in very competitive and unpredictable environment. Isfahan municipality is a key organization in urban development, so it needs to gain new skills for facing rapid Changes in the future. The objectives of this research are to introduce the most suitable futures studies approaches for using in planning and urban management and to design organizational structure based on foresighting. The research method is descriptive-analytic. Information was collected based on documental analysis method. For reaching organizational structure based on futures studies, different approaches such as participative, strategic, and corporate were studied by expert panel.  The results reveal that corporate approach, is based on the assumption of implementation in an organization, is rooted in strategic notion, and emphasizes participation and exchange of views. Considering the characteristics mentioned, the corporate approach is more extensive than the other two approaches, and is therefore selected. Then due to characteristics of the corporate approach, the organizational structure of the Isfahan municipality futures studies group was suggested. Manuscript profile

        Schoolyards are places where students spend about 20 to 25% of their time there. When the schoolyard is designed to meet students' needs, it can become a dynamic place for entertaining and educating students. To maintain active participation in the schoolyard, students need thermal comfort. This research aims to determine the optimal geometry of the courtyards of girls' primary schools in Isfahan City to ensure students' comfort. For this purpose, the pattern of public schools for girls in Isfahan was examined. Moreover, previous studies and criteria of the School Renovation Organization were reviewed, as well as the dominant geometry of girls' schools in Isfahan City and the geometric pattern of the tests. The thermal simulation of the geometric patterns was carried out using Envi-met software in two 8-hour periods on June 21 (summer solstice) and December 21 (winter solstice). By comparing the thermal performances of the models, it was determined that the optimal model for students was determined by the number of hours of thermal comfort provided by each model. A model that obtains the maximum amount of heat from the sun and the surrounding environment in winter while obtaining the least amount of heat in summer provides the optimal shape and form of the open space in a building to provide the most hours of thermal comfort. Thus, Considering the importance of providing thermal comfort in the school yard for the active participation of students and turning the schoolyard into an educational space, the optimal geometry of the yard in this research of girls' primary schools in Isfahan city to determine the maximum hours' Thermal comfort was obtained. When the building is placed centrally or in a summerhouse, open spaces have good thermal performance in summer since they have a small width on the south side, so they are exposed to sunlight and receive heat for fewer hours. In addition, since the prevailing wind direction in Isfahan City in summer is from the east, the eastern side of the yard is more exposed to the wind, resulting in greater cooling. The simulation results indicate that models with a ratio of 2.5 to 1, which are U-shaped buildings (those with north, east, and south fronts) and L-shaped buildings (those with north and west fronts or north and west fronts), have good thermal performance. In the cold season, they have an east-west elongation with a ratio of 2.5 to 1, which indicates the extent of the south side of the building, which receives the most heat in the cold season and can provide comfortable conditions for students in schoolyards. Since the prevailing wind in the cold season blows from the west, the small size of the west side causes the open space of the proposed models to be less exposed to the wind. It is also suggested to prevent the wind from entering the open space in the cold season by using obstacles, such as planting trees or building artifacts on the west side. Manuscript profile

        7 - Imminence- Transcendence- Isfahan's school- Architecture body of mosque.

        lief and faith are key factors in architecture, whether in forming the human beings lives or its role in their spiritual dimension. Thus, architecture is the body that belongs to human's thoughts and beliefs; therefore where ever a major artistic creation with traditional nature has been observed, there should exist a live traditional thinking. So in order to recognize the mystical and philosophical ideas that their peak was represented in Safavid era which is known as the golden age of art, we have to enter through the gate of Islamic arts philosophy. Transcendence and imminence as the subject matters are one of the ways to find out and comprehend the philosophy of art and the beauty of Islam, but the important point about these subjects is the dual structure of transcendence and imminence. Due to the dialectic between these two - transcendence and imminence- (Throughout the history of Islam) and while they have separated features, only it can be possible to figure out their complementary feature through their unitary vision. Of course, such duality that the universe is made up of one whole which is composed of two obvious and inseparable elements, has been seen in different religions, like "Yin and Yang" in China. As mentioned in Islamic sciences and in an initial classification about God and the universe, two words are in common; Transcendence and imminence. The transcendent philosophers do not consider any human traits for God and in contrast there are imminent mystics who define imminence as the attribution of human traits to God. Going out from this conflict is only possible through unitary vision of transcendence and imminence. This vision which is attributed to Muhiddin Ibn Arabic, considers the summation of transcendence and imminence in order to God's cognition. Since mosques (central) are the most effected places by beliefs and thoughts of their time, they are chosen as the typical examples for reloading the transcendent and imminent ideas. For this purpose, first quantitative and qualitative criteria of transcendent and imminent shapes in architecture were extracted. On the other hand this means that in architecture, components of imminent shapes correspond to transition, dynamism, transparence, transfer, static, sublime and establishment; and components of transcendent shapes correspond to void, centripetal, symmetric and balanced spaces. Then in order to recognize the transcendent and imminent aspects, all the skeletal shapes of Imam Mosque, like the system of entrance, yard, porch and dome were measured and evaluated with these criteria. The results of this measurement were the dominant imminent aspects for transitional and motional shapes like entrance and porches, and the dominant transcendent aspects for mosque's yard as the static, void and centripetal space. But the balance of transcendent and imminent ideas can be searched comprehensively in the architecture of dome, where the void atmosphere (negative) and the tangible positive atmosphere (surrounded the environment) have been defined and the static and centripetal and in a same time dynamic, connected and transitional atmosphere (vertical) toward the God can be understood, observed and perceived.

        It is a necessity in modern life, especially in the metropolitans to create urban green spaces thatcorresponds to sustainable parameters. Urban green spaces such as gardens and parks, as parts of urban landscape have effective roles in identifying urban public spaces, and because of their correspondence with climatic and environmental conditions, they can decrease environmental pollutions, use of fossil fuel consumptions, and also respond to life requirements, as sustainable landscapes.According to scholar studies, one of the main strategies to respond to climatic conditions and environmental obstacles is historical gardens of Iran, created to moderate local climate of vast arid regions of Iran. The creation of historical gardens of ancient Persia are usually determined by different factors such as intellectual, economic, political, artistic and etc., Which in their turn mirrored in them. Persian garden as a cultural, historical, and environmental phenomenon has had background and it could respond to human comfort for many millennia. It seems that considering to parameters of environmental sustainability and climatic factors was an essential strategy in Iranian garden design. Thus, the use of Persian gardens’ design method in arid regions of contemporary green spaces in Iran and the other similar climatic regions can moderate local climate. This paper has applied objective research method to achieve principles and parameters of Persian gardens in arid regions, so that they can be used in accordance with contemporary patterns and parameters of landscape design and creation of sustainable environments. The main question of this research is “how the climate has effected the process of Persian garden design?” Analysis method of this paper is descriptive-analytical, based on both quantitative and qualitative methods, and the data collection from chosen samples of gardens and analyzing them based on library research and field studies. The main reasons for the authors to achieve the logical and accurate results are to select gardens located in arid regions, with specific framework of natural and built elements and orders. In addition, it was possible for the authors to access the    architectural documents of the gardens. Thus, the selected case studies in this research are Chehelsotoun and Hashtbehesht gardens, two reminder gardens of arid region of Isfahan city. The main hypothesis of this research is: “The climatic parameters are the essential factors to create the Persian garden in the hot and arid regions of Isfahan”. The framework of this research includes these three processes: First, description of climatic features and parameters of hot and arid regions and the city of Isfahan. Second, exploration of climatic design strategies in architecture and landscape architecture design in hot and arid regions. And third, explanation and validation of climatic design strategies in the gardens of Chahelsotoun and Hashtbehesht as selected case studies of this paper. By the analysis of sustainable characteristics and climatic strategies in selected gardens, their response to climatic objects are assessed, and shows that climatic characteristics and objectives are the main factor in physical models and principles, spatial organization and composition of elements of Persian garden design in arid regions.

        Today, cities are the center of development and the place of production and sharing of knowledge and play a fundamental role in knowledge-based development (KBD). However, due to the novelty of the knowledge-based Urban Development (KBUD) Studies and the lack of systematic development of its theoretical foundations, There have not been many reports of the success or failure of KBUD policies and the challenges they face in cities in developing countries. However, in order to create an integrated interaction between urban resources and stakeholders, good governance and strong political leadership, scientific and technological pioneers are needed to address the weakness of institutional arrangements and the inadequacy of governance tools. indeed, given the need for local government political will and support for increased organizational cooperation with civil society and citizens, for the KBUD stakeholders who have both the power and motivation and sufficient interest to establish and promote KBUD And it is necessary to reduce the barriers to their participation. Therefore, strengthening stakeholder trust and participation is an appropriate tool to move towards KBUD, and KBUD analysis of key stakeholder relations networks is an important and effective first step in this regard. Therefore, the present study aims to expand the participation of local stakeholders and strengthen trust and interaction between them to create institutional changes responsive to KBUD Isfahan, by analyzing communication networks, trust and participation of key stakeholders KBUD Isfahan using social network analysis method (SNA), identify and analyze the pattern of trust and participation of stakeholders that is the basis for the sharing of knowledge between them. The general strategy of the research is a case study with a pragmatic paradigm orientation and is descriptive-exploratory in terms of operational purpose. The results show that despite the great importance of the political will of the local government and its comprehensive support for the expansion of organizational cooperation with civil society and citizens in the global experience of forming KBUD, The main stakeholders who play a key role in promoting and guiding the KBUD and involvement of other stakeholders are usually the city council, the municipality, and other local non-governmental organizations and centers. This reflects the active and progressive civil society in these cities. While in Isfahan, despite the significant role of the city council and municipality, most of the main and central stakeholders of KBUD, such as the Governorate, Management and Planning Organization, Road and Urban Development Organization, government organizations with a governing role. This indicates the nature of centralized government, the power and superior resources of the government over other actors in society and the weakness of network governance, as well as the difficulty of forming the bottom-up process of creating KBUD in Isfahan. Under these circumstances, those in power in the network may organize resources to their advantage and, by controlling the public discourse of the network, provide grounds for excluding or marginalizing the weak actors of the network. Of course, it should be noted that the government plays a pivotal role in the process of knowledge-based urban development. Manuscript profile

        Children are more paid attention in this decade as one of the most important and vulnerable groups of society specially by introducing child friendly city (CFC) theory. Nonethelessare not enough paid attention in some new districts of cities and are less seen playing and activating in public spaces. This neglect of children in planning and designing environment is more intense in cities of Iran while the process is well activated in developed countries in all social, psychological and functional dimension. because of these reasons this paper attempt to recognizing advantages and disadvantages of old and new parts of cities focusing on CFC principles and indicators. The research methodology is primarily descriptive-historically (in gathering indicators and resulting them) and then field survey (considering the indicators in districts). To attaining the referred goals this research  has proceed to collect and considering the principles and indicators of CFC in different scientific sources (including books, papers and scientific reports) and will reach to CFC indicators framework. In fact This indicators framework  is produced by gathering all the indicators in a matrix and deducing the most repeated indicators from. these indicators as the main and most important indicators of CFC are: safety and security- access to natural green space- existence of open public spaces with various activities- access to main equipment, facilities and services including educational, health and sportive services- providing suitable public transportation particularly suitable bike and walkable routes- participation and giving value to children- existence of healthy environment without rubbish and all pollutants- providing fun and creativity environment for children. then some sub indicators are provided for each indicator to evaluating them more exactly. Each indicator has two sub indicator at least.  In this paper two districts are studied and compared. First sepahan shahr that is one of the new towns of Isfahan which its residents have the most variety of cultures and nations in districts of Isfahan. The second district of this study is joobareh which one of the old and historical districts of city with residents who include low income people of city. These  two case studies will be assessed and compared by these indicators and sub indicators vie AHP method to attaining child friendly environment. evaluating the impacts of indicators and sub indicators is done by negotiation among 10 urban design student which are aware of this research. At end disadvantages of total urban design and modern urban design will be understood by attaining the final consequence (introducing joobareh as more child-oriented district). In fact it can be resulted that one of the reasons of this result (less point of sepahan shahr about being child friendly oriented) is lacking of livability and friendly environment, a problem which one of its reasons is neglecting the basic needs of children, because absolutely the needs of children are needs of other class of society and perhaps the reason of this matter is total urban designing of this new town, a problem that has not been occurred in joobareh by slow evolution of this district during the centuries.

        Prediction of total cost of water helps the Isfahan municipality to optimize thewater usage in its 14 urban zone. The total cost of water, basically, depends ondifferent parameters. Generally, the analytically prediction of the total cost is verydifficult if not impossible. Thus, applying intelligent systems such as neural networkmodels can be a good alternative. In this paper, using multi-layer perceptron neuralnetwork and error back propagation algorithm, the total cost of municipal water in theIsfahan municipality is calculated based on parameters such as per capita populationand area of each urban zone. In this paper, a model for simulation and prediction ofthe annual total cost of water in Isfahan municipality is developed. The simulationmodel is developed using the regression and the neural network model is built usingdata from 2004 to 2009. Finally, the neural network method is selected as the mainsimulation method for forecasting the total cost of water in the 14 urban zones ofIsfahan. Manuscript profile

        This study evaluated the implementation or non-implementation of predicted project of range plan in Isfahan province. Accordingly, first, the list of range management plans was prepared. Next, the list of predicted projects for each plan was extracted. Afterwards, quantity and quality of information and barriers to project implementation were determined by using the field visits of rangelands, interviews with experts and exploiters of rangelands. The results showed that the predicted projects of Range plans have not completely implemented (average 37/58%). In the meantime, the projects of water container, livestock wells, aqueducts and fountains and pile had the best condition and dry farming, direct seeding had the worst condition. Also The revise of the Range Management Plan, failure to provide banking facilities for projects, weakness monitoring projects, problems with the proximity of range allotments, no exit surplus livestock, venture capital for projects, formulates problems in range, and the lack of consent of plan executors were the most important technical, social and economic barriers. It seems that range plans do not have enough efficiency due to technical, social and economic problems. Therefore, they should be revised in this regard regarding multiuse of rangelands Manuscript profile

        Air pollution is a major contributor to chronic respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, resulting in an estimated annual premature death toll of 6.2 to 8.4 million individuals. The objective of this study is to investigate the concentration of potentially toxic elements in dust collected from residential complex in Isfahan during the winter (2022-2023). To ensure comprehensive coverage, 31 residential residential complex were chosen across the entire Isfahan City. Dust samples were collected in triplicate (totaling 93 samples) from from the internal surfaces of the ground or first floor of residential complexes, except for common spaces. The samples were transferred to the laboratory and the concentrations of Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Zinc, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Chromium, and Vanadium were then measured using an ICP-OES device, model Optima 83. The average concentrations of Arsenic, Cadmium, Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt, Lead, and Vanadium in the collected samples were found to be 5.55, 0.95, 32.6, 241, 3.87, 300, and 30.6 mg/kg, respectively. According to the enrichment factor analysis, the concentrations of Lead and Cadmium were of non-natural and anthropogenic sources in all sampling stations except for West Allameh Amini. A notable positive correlation was observed between the Lead enrichment factor and the traffic index at a 95% confidence level (p-value=0.021, r= 0.369). Similarly, a significant strong positive correlation was found at a 99% confidence level between the ecological risk assessment index and the traffic index (Pvalue=0.00, r= 0. 619). This suggests that traffic has a major impact on the concentration of potentially toxic elements at the sampling stations. Manuscript profile

        The market, as one of the main areas of economic activity in contemporary Iran, has undergone changes under the influence of global developments. Such changes have generally led to value developments that, if not properly managed, could affect the development of the country in various dimensions. The present research is essentially of a developmental nature and examines value developments (generational differences in business values ​​among Isfahan marketers), assuming development as a multidimensional phenomenon. By reviewing existing literature on generational sociology in Iran, three generations of "before revolution", "generation of revolution" and "third generation" were identified and the basis of the research was identified. The research method of this study is "survey". The statistical population of this study is all those who are active in Isfahan city. Sample size was 524 Isfahan marketers who were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling.The findings indicate that there is no difference between the generations studied in the Isfahan market in terms of business meta-values. Also, there is no difference between the generations studied by the Isfahan market in terms of the material values ​​of the business. In addition, the results of the study indicated that generational affiliation had a significant impact on business values ​​and this hypothesis is valid, but the impact is low. In general, it can be said that the turbulence of economic status, social and value anomaly and the shared space of generational socialization are factors that have contributed to the lack of generational differences in business values ​​in the Isfahan market Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to study the factors affecting the alienation of female employees in the private sector in Isfahan. The research method is practical in terms of purpose and quantitative and survey methods at the causal level The statistical population of the study was women working in the private sector in Isfahan. The sample includes 120 women in the private sector in Isfahan A quota was selected from 32 private companies to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using statistics in SPSS and Amos software. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by face validity and the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Which was between 0.7 to 0.8. From the weak and inverse Pearson correlation coefficient (r = 0.068) it can be concluded that there is no significant relationship between work experience and alienation from work among women working in the private sector in Isfahan; Inversion of the correlation coefficient means that the higher the work experience of individuals, the lower the degree of alienation. The average score of alienation from work in women working in the private sector in Isfahan in the upper class is equal to (85.42), which is higher than the average of other bases And this difference was only in the sample, because according to the F test with a value (1.11) and a significance level of more than 0.05, it is not significant at least at the 95% level.

        Preface and Purpose of the Study: Understanding the visual structure of historical bazaar saria, as one of the most important architectural elements of design, can be effective for contemplation of their role and latent potential in the quality of their sociopetal spaces, the extent of their receptibility, and their prosperity. This study focuses on the understanding and analysis of principles of sociopetality in the receptibility and the visual quality evaluation of bazaar sariaes. Methodology: Firstly, through correlation and regression analysis, the presence of a students for each of the 12 investigated sariaes, and recording of the number of people and their gathering places, steps were taken to assess the criteria and answer the theories and research questions of the study. The evaluation and determination of the scope of the study were achieved through visual quality and sociopetal concepts in a structural dimension derived from the framework of the research and its conformity with visual parameters defined by space syntax software. The space syntax data was analyzed using the Depthmap software. Findings: Based on the findings of the study, it can be argued that access points and routes to the sariaes (whether directly or at a rotating angle), dimensions and total measurement of the saria and central courtyard, number of primary spaces, and direct access to primary spaces affect the extent of sociopetality and receptibility of bazaar sariaes. Furthermore, halls that have more entry points, larger central courtyards, and lesser rotation angle for accessing their middle saria, are more inviting and receptible and are more sociopetal as a result. In some cases, such as Mirza Kuchak saria, Khansari saria, and Golshan saria, visual quality components have a reverse correlation with structural components because entry points with an indirect view of the saria have no bearings on visual qualities, having high visual quality yet lower sociopetality. Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that although, in most cases, visual quality components affect structural factors and induce sociopetality in the environment, in most bazaar sariaes in Iran such a correlation does not always exist. Sariaes with higher visual quality have lesser sociopetality because, in terms of structure, they do not have intelligible and inviting environments that appeal to the public. Sight and appearance, spatial complexity, practical variety, access and degree of movement, and comfort and number of available facilities affect the spatial quality and thus sociopetality.     Manuscript profile

           Today's cities are considered as one of the greatest achievements of human culture and civilization in the present era. Looking at the category of urban management from the point of view of justice is one of the most fundamental pillars of urban governance. If social justice is a set of strategies, decisions, laws, behaviors, services, construction measures and social assistance and distribution of opportunities, by urban management (assuming the enjoyment and equal access of citizens), the necessity of realizing justice-oriented urban governance becomes clear. The purpose of the research is to design an urban management model based on justice in the municipalities of Isfahan province. Research method:  a combined method (quantitative and qualitative) was carried out based on the foundational data theory approach, first, a qualitative method was used to count the components of the initial model and a quantitative method was used to determine the validation of the obtained components for the localization and specialization of the model. Findings:  In the open coding phase, 179 primary concepts were extracted. In the axial coding stage, 32 subcategories were classified and finally in the selective coding stage with 5 main categories. The data obtained using the structural equation model and Smart PLS software( version 2 )was analyzed. Conclusion:  According to the presented model as well as the proposed strategies in this research, the social, economic, citizenship and spiritual behavioral consequences will be realized, which will have the greatest impact on the consequences of citizenship.     Manuscript profile

        Introduction and aim of research: the aims of this paper are the assessment of Isfahan educational secondary district schools in resistance process (resilient and flexible) on probable disaster and having main managerial indicator in planning and management of disaster and Population Emergency Evacuation.     Research method: research method in the paper is Field work and analysis. Classification, computing and charting in SPSS and by mathematical formula after the survey of statistical society and collecting data from field on five months. Finally, the analysis of data has been written and maps were prepared by Arc GIS.          Results: Reviewed schools are not in suitable situation due to the fundamental indicators and therefore are very vulnerable in disaster event. In ten fundamental indicators, only population distribution and heating systems are appropriate and the eight indicators are not appropriate. Among the 121 schools, just 33 schools have management standards and 109 schools have nothing standards. Even management standards of 33 schools have not enough rates. In ten management indicators, the benefit rates of seven indicators are medium, inappropriate and critical. Conclusions: Results of research show that resilience of school in Isfahan educational secondary districts due to fundamental indicators is low. On the other hand, benefit rates of management indicators is also weak and this weakness has severely damaged them in potential disasters. Eventually, the situation of schools in statistical society isinappropriate, vulnerable and critical due to integrated indicator (two fundamental and management indicators).           Manuscript profile

        Theileria are important hemoprotozoan parasites of cattle, transmitted by ixodid ticks leading to diseases which range from mild in apparent reactions to highly fatal diseases. This study aimed to determine the variety of Theileria species among cattle of Shahreza city, the south part of Isfahan Province. A total of 253 blood samples were randomly collected via the ear vein and jugular vein from healthy cattle for microscopy and molecular examination, respectively. The extracted DNA from blood cells was amplified by Theileria-all primers, which amplify an approximately 400bp DNA fragment from the region of the 18S rRNA gene from various members of the genus Theileria. All cattle positive samples were further analysed for the presence of Theileria annulata and Theileria orientalis by specific semi-nested PCR. T. annulata and T. orientalis were identified by specific semi-nested PCR in 54.9% and 47% of cattle blood samples, respectively. Chi-square (x2) tests were used to compare molecular prevalence values relative to Season, Farm, Type, Hygiene, Vectors, Age, and Milk Yield. T. orientalis prevalence was significantly higher in cattle in summer as compared to those in other seasons (p < 0.05). The prevalence rates of T. orientalis in different seasons, hygiene levels, and vectors were significantly different (p < 0.05). T. orientalis prevalence was higher in spring, farms with tick vectors and normal level of Hygiene. The examination of 50 microscopic fields showed 14.39% sensitivity and 99.12% specificity compared to molecular examination. The Kappa coefficient between molecular and microscopy (50 fields) techniques indicated a poor level of agreement (Kappa= 0.124). This study is the first molecular detection of Theileria species from cattle in the south of Isfahan province, Iran. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Dove towers have outstanding architectural, structural and decorative characteristics. Geometric and typological examination of dove towers not only paves the way to understand Persian traditional architecture, but also prevents these environment-friendly structures from being forgotten. According to the authors, there is a direct relationship between the creativity of traditional architects, proportions, form and size of the plan, with different types of dove towers in Isfahan. Accordingly, the present study aimed to analyze the final form of dove towers in Isfahan from the aspect of geometric features. Historically, certain foreign travelers have described some of the dove towers in Isfahan. Some travelers have also made attempt to describe them physically and structurally. This study will provide a comprehensive typology of dove towers from a geometric perspective.Method: The methodology has been descriptive, comparative and analytic in nature. Also, data were collected based on library sources and field studies. Findings: It was found that there is a significant relationship between height and the number of floors, the diameter of the dove towers, the middle cylinders and its wall thickness. The shapes, the geometry of the body and the various dimensions of the plan on the one hand and the creativity of the architects on the other hand, have created different volumes in the structure of the pigeon houses in Isfahan.

        Background and Objective: egetation is used in different forms in cities and in urban gorges and it helps to improve the temperature conditions of the environment by shading or evaporative cooling. Surveys conducted in the city of Isfahan show that grass, bushes and trees are the three most frequent forms in the gorges of this metropolis. The purpose of this research is to choose the best form of vegetation cover in Isfahan urban gorges according to the H/W ratio and different orientations. Material and Methodology: Envi-met v4.1 software was used to check the effectiveness of vegetation in urban gorges. The conditions of urban gorges and frequent vegetation in the environment were determined by field investigation, then the best form of vegetation cover in the urban gorges of Isfahan was selected by computer simulation, and its density level and type were investigated in a number of urban gorges of Isfahan in the summer season. Finding: The results obtained from the simulations revealed that the tree shows the most appropriate performance among the 5 proposed models and the tree in the ratio of height to width of 1 in all four orientations causes the greatest decrease in temperature in the summer season and in the ratio of height to width of 3 The best thermal conditions have been created. Discussion & Conclusion:  The results of the research indicate that among the different scenarios, the tree pattern alone has a greater cooling effect than the combined patterns with grass and short bushes. This pattern is the best in all the ratio of height to width and orientation. Manuscript profile

        Background & Objectives: PM2.5 concentration has become a public concern in cities due to its harmful effects on human health. In this study, due to the importance of air pollution, the effect of urban traffic conditions on the emission of urban air pollutants (PM2.5) was studied using geographic weight regression model (GWR) and IDW interpolation method.Material and Methodology: For this purpose, concentration of PM2.5 in 2019 was collected from 9 air pollution monitoring stations of Isfahan Municipality and population data and traffic in the city were collected and entered into the model. Interpolation IDW method was used for preparing seasonal air pollutants dispersion maps. After performing geographical weight regression on the model parameters and in order to evaluate the validity of the model, the RMSE parameter was used, which is obtained from the difference between the actual value of the concentration and the predicted value and indicates the predictive power of the model. Finally, R2 values ​​were calculated and Moran's index was used to examine the spatial autocorrelation test.Findings: After performing geographical weight regression on the model parameters, in order to evaluate the validity of the model, the value of R2 was calculated and the Moran index was used to examine the spatial autocorrelation test.Discussion and Conclusion: According to the amount of R2=0.75 for PM2.5, a direct correlation has been shown between this pollutant and independent variables, especially in the summer. The Moran index results showed that the GWR model was a good model for investigating the spatial temporal pattern of suspended particles. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Zayandehrood River is the largest river of central Iran, which passes through the city of Isfahan. This river has constantly contributed to the growth of Isfahan and, throughout the history, has provided the city with a green landscape, despite the hot and arid climate of the region. Moreover, Madies are neighborhood aqua-ducts from Zayandehrood, initially developed for agricultural purposes and, as the city developed, turned into greenways for urban fabric. These aqua-ducts have been one of the major infrastructural elements of neighborhoods with key ecological and social roles. Recently, Zayandehrood’s drying up has become one of the most important incidents with devastating impacts on Isfahan and its local communities. Madies’ drying up has had negative impacts on the neighborhoods’ sense of place as well as local communities’ lives. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the resilience of two local communities in the vicinity of Madies in Isfahan, namely Abbas Abad and Barazandeh districts.Material and Methodology:  This research incorporated survey and secondary data analysis to evaluate the resilience of these communities. The research was conducted based on a pre-developed community resilience framework. Overall, 22 authorities and experts from the Municipality of Isfahan and 379 residents from the two local communities were surveyed. Afterwards, the resulting data was analyzed quantitatively through SPSS software.Findings: The findings show that the overall community resilience level is below the moderate level. The lowest score, belonging to local institutional/governance factors, is 1.7 and the highest score is 3.25, a few points higher than the moderate level. The latter score belongs to spatio-physical factors in Abbas Abad district.Discussion and Conclusion:  Community resilience is not limited to the ability of communities in withstanding  adverse situations. Although the local communities of Isfahan are apparently accustomed to the status quo, the overall score of community resilience of these communities is below the moderate level. Therefore, there should be strategies to enhance the resilience of local communities in the city. Manuscript profile

The efforts and thinking of these thinkers have made Isfahan a school and an influential school in Islamic sciences over other schools. Among these, the interpretive school of Isfahan and the commentators named after it are worthy of analysis and study. Isfahani leading commentators are divided into three periods: early, Safavid and contemporary, and are divided into two types: rationalists and Akhbaris. This research has refined and analyzed the basics in a library method, matching them with each other and clarifying its hidden angles. In expressing the principles of Isfahan Interpretive School; Quranic, narrative, literary, principled, theological, philosophical, intellectual and moral, mystical, individual and group principles were stated. The Qur'anic principles of Isfahani commentators are common and in the principles of narration, some have been highly positivist and the intensity and weakness of the use of narrations in their interpretations has caused differences in their narrative principles.Some rationalist and news commentators have an intuitive nature and have interpreted the verses based on esoteric intuition and mystical view, and on the contrary, some have not had a mystical view and reject these principles.

        The Holy Quran is always one of the rich and timeless sources that Muslim poets and writers have used. The history of using the Holy Quran in Persian poetry is as long as Iranian Islam. Tanas (intertextuality) is one of the new literary criticism theories that was proposed by Julia Kristeva in the second half of the 20th century. In fact, Tanas is a new term that has old concepts in literature. The present study aims to investigate intertextual types in the poems of Farid Esfahani, one of the lesser-known poets of Saadi's age, using the descriptive-analytical method. The results of the research show that he benefited the most from partial intertextuality that appeared in the form of Quranic words, sentences and phrases. It is also possible to consider indicative intertextuality as one of the most widely used types of intertextuality in his poetry, which is shown in the form of invoking Quranic stories and characters. The poet has rarely used inspirational and conceptual intertextuality. Manuscript profile

          The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of the Jabal ‘Amil’s school on the cultural transformation of the Safavid dynasty. In this regard and using descriptive-analytical method, it was attempted to survey the nature and extent of the immigration of Jabal ‘Amil’s scholars’ to Iran, the formation of the Safavid dynasty and its relationship with Jabal ‘Amil’s scholars, the effects of Jabal ‘Amil on the Safavid social developments, and the establishment of the jurisprudential school of Isfahan. The results showed that due to their principled approach in jurisprudence, the jurists of the Jabal ‘Amil played an active role in the Safavid social sphere. They margined Sufi movements and increased their authority by consolidating the authority of Marja’iat and establishing an administrative network of the Ulama. Therefore, Shiite religious rituals were performed according to jurisprudence. Manuscript profile

        Robert Lillo's Theory of Linguistic Comedy is one of the complete linguistic theories of humor that was first put forward by Robert Raskin under the concept of "semantic paradigm" by Viktor Raskin. It is distinct and distinct from the non-linguistic one, and this is the only ambiguity that lends humor to the linguistic feature; these ambiguities occur in three phonetic, lexical, syntactic, and cognitive applications. BahramSadeghi also used linguistic paradigms to humorize his anecdotes. The results of this research, obtained by the descriptive-analytical method, show that Robert Lieu's semantic theory of theory and its theoretical framework are largely consistent with Bahram Sadeghi's satirical works.The results of this research, obtained by the descriptive-analytical method, show that Robert Lieu's semantic theory of theory and its theoretical framework are largely consistent with Bahram Sadeghi'ssatiricalworks.

        Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Gheravi Isfahani known as Compani is one of the contemporary famous scholars and mystics and the author of Arabic poems of divan Al-anvar Al-ghodsieh, entitled as  Moftagher. In his Persian and Arabic divan there are many poems in praise of prophet Mohammad's family among which is his long Arabic panegyric in praise of Imam Reza – peace be upon him. The  present study intends to study Ayatollah Gheravi's mystical- literary ode in praise of Imam Reza –peace be upon him- in a structural method and analyze three stylistic levels of this poem which are  phonetic level, causal, and combinative respectively. For this reason, having explained the concept, principles and stylistic forms, it deals with stylistic analysis of Gheravi's panegyric. One of the prominent conclusions of this study is that applying stylistics as one of critical approaches , deep richness of a literary work can be analyzed in three levels and its artistic and literary elegances found. Among these findings these cases can be mentioned: harmony between meaning and rhythm in panegyric, poet’s skill in choosing combinations being proportional to his intended meanings and purposes, poet’s inspiration by his philosophical trends in composing panegyric and his power in arousing the audience by choosing profound concepts in the form of most elegant and newest metaphors.

        Land use and land cover (LULC) change because of its impact on natural ecosystems has become a concern for natural resources protectors and managers. The present study aimed to predict LULC changes and also to study the relation of drought with these changes in the sub-basin Parsel B2 with an area of 21100 hectares using CA-Markov model and Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). For this purpose, using the preprocessed images of the sensors TM, ETM+, and OLI for the years 1986, 2001 and 2016, respectively, the LULC map was provided with supervised classification and maximum likelihood method. To validate the CA-Markov model, the LULC maps have been predicting for 2016 and they were compared to the reference land use map of 2016. After ensuring the accuracy of the predicted results for the year 2016, the related land use and land cover maps were predicted for the year 2030. The result showed a relation between LULC changes and drought condition. Based on result predicted for the year 2030, rain-fed agriculture 6.95% increase and range land 6.66% decrease in area. Thus In the event of drought and abandonment rain-fed agriculture land, soil erosion, increasing and also grazing pressure on the remaining range land causing range land degradation. Therefore, if the current land use strategy with current management remain, land degradation in the region will be inevitable. Manuscript profile

        Determining and identifying homogeneous regions for ecosystem services supply is an effective and useful step in improving land management. Therefore, in this study, after quantifying and mapping ecosystem services, aesthetic value, recreational value, and noise pollution reduction, the K-Means clustering method was used to identify homogeneous areas of ecosystem service supply and homogeneous areas zoning was prepared in the GIS environment. To investigate the effective parameters on ecosystem services supply, the slope, altitude, population density, distance from access routes, distance from the river, percentage of available land uses and distance from the centre of the largest urban region were extracted for each homogeneous area or cluster. Based on the Davis-Bouldin validation index, the optimal number of clusters was 4. Cluster number two with the area of 686.27 Km2 was the largest, while cluster number one with the area of 119.75 Km2 was the smallest in the area. Investigation of environmental-social parameters showed that land use has the highest impact on ecosystem services supply. The results showed that there is a direct relationship between these parameters and ecosystem services supply in each cluster. Based on the results of this study, investigation of homogeneous areas of ecosystem services can be effective to improve land use planning and management. Manuscript profile

        In the present study, to investigate the occurrence of land subsidence in Isfahan plain, SNAP8.0 software and radar differential interferometry technique were used. For this purpose, after processing Sentinel-1A images in the period 2019-2015, rate and intensity subsidence maps were prepared in the desired period. Also, changes in groundwater water level in the period 2002-2018, as one of the geodetic factors affecting subsidence, were studied to match the points that have subsidence. Then the output of SNAP software was studied using ArcGIS10.8, with land use layers and average water level changes and Maps of mean subsidence changes, groundwater drop, standard deviation and time of maximum subsidence were prepared. The results show the occurrence of subsidence phenomenon in areas with groundwater decline with urban use, roads and agricultural lands with a maximum rate of 14.2- 20.8 cm in the years 2018-2019. The average change represents the maximum subsidence of 9.6 cm per year, in line with the satellite line of sight, in the urban area. Also, spatial analysis of subsidence hazards at strategic points showed that the study area needs to provide the necessary warnings for the occurrence of subsidence crisis on a larger scale in the future.

        Astragalus gossypinus Fischer is one of the most important range plants in west region of Isfahan, which is very critical for soil conservation and people's economic life. Nevertheless, the grazing pressure and overuses cause habitat destruction. This study has been done for determination of its potential habitat in Lenjan and Flavarjan parishes of Isfahan province. To achieve this purpose, spatial data of this specie's presence used as suitable places for its growth and the environmental condition (Climate, Soil &amp; Physiographic) used for recognition of its habitat's necessities. Soil data turned to soil maps using antecedent studies and interpolating soil profile points. Climatic and physiographical data have been prepared as well and got ready to be imported to the ultimate model. By importing the information layers in ENFA model and using harmonic mean analysis in Biomapper software; the map of Astragalus gossypinus potential habitat has been created. The results show that gravel percentage, soil potassium, saturated moisture, electrical conductivity and annual precipitation are the most important factors in habitat choosing by Astragalus gossypinus in study area. 25300 hectares of the study site are potential habitat of Astragalus gossypinus which is 16 percent of the study site. To evaluate the verity of this model, Boyce's index has been used and model rectitude in this test was determined 85.2 percent. Manuscript profile

        Isfahan is one of the major cities in Iran in terms of population, economic and industrial growth, history, and tourism. Thus, seismicity and active fault identity are essential in this region. The current study examined the seismotectonics framework and earthquake hazard in 1:250000 scale map of Isfahan.The study area included the Northeast to the Southwest region, the Central Iran zone, the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone and the high Zagros zone. Using satellite images, historical and instrumental earthquake data, geological and tectonic maps and aeromagnetic map, the fundamental faults of the area and active seismic area were evaluated. Based on the available information, the seismotectonics map of the area was prepared and four seismic zones were distinguished. The results showed a significant intensification of seismicity from the Northeast to the Southwest direction. Seismic risk analysis in the study area using the Gutenberg-Richter law predicted the probability for an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 up to 6 on the Richter scale in the area during the next 100 years, 100 percent. The risk analysis of earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 on the Richter scale was 84 percent and the risk analysis of earthquakes with a magnitude of 7 on the Richter scale was 46 percent.

        Background and Aim: In this study, the contribution of IB coronavirus in egg quantitative and qualitative reduction syndrome was investigated.Methods: nine laying hen flocks attected to egg quantitative and qualitative reduction syndrom and 10 laying farms with a healthy appearance were sampled. In addition, 6 farms with cystic oviduct were sampled in laying flocks, in Isfahan province. After extracting the genome, a fragment of 1200 bp of coronavirus S1 gene was amplified for identification of IB.Results: Out of 9 laying farms with quantitative and qualitative egg reduction syndrome and 10 apparently healthy farms, respectively 7 and 4 farms (78 and 40%) were infected with IB coronavirus based at least one positive sample. Out of 59 samples from farms with egg quantitative and qualitative reduction syndrome, 32 samples (54.2%) and out of 66 samples taken from apparently healthy farms, 7 samples (10.6%) were evaluated positive for IB coronavirus. In this study, all 6 farms with cystic oviduct had at least one positive sample for IB coronavirus and 31 samples out of 41 samples (73.17%) infected with IB coronavirus.Conclusion: IB coronavirus has a high share in the syndrome of quantitative and qualitative reduction of egg production in laying hens, but not all cases can be attributed to this virus and other infectious and non-infectious factors should be monitored. Due to the high frequency of this virus in cystic oviduct, it is necessary to identify the viral types that induce this disorder and to develop an appropriate control program. Manuscript profile

        After moving Armenians to Isfahan, Shah Abbas I ordered to build churches for them so that they would adhere to the urban life in Isfahan. These churches, which were initially formed with the help of Iranian architects, had an Iranian taste. Most of the researchers who have written about the churches of Isfahan's New Jolfa have relied on the fact that the architecture of Isfahan's churches is Iranian. The main goal of this article is to compare the paintings of Imamzadehs and churches in Isfahan, remained from late Qajar era, in terms of theme, structure, image and relationship with the environment. The research question is &ldquo;what effect did the painting of churches have on the wall paintings of Imamzadehs in the late Qajar era?&rdquo; This study is library and field-based to collect the data, descriptive-analytical and comparative in terms of methodology. It attempts to find the similarities and differences of the tone and shape of the wall paintings of the churches and imamzadehs of Isfahan as one of the manifestations of sacred art in terms of concept and expression according to the characteristics related to their roles. The findings of the research show that the subject of Imamzadeh's paintings are pictorial narratives of the favorite themes of Iranian Shia people. The blessed images of the Prophet Muhammad, the Imams, the visual narration of the Ashura incident, are all clear examples of the interests and beliefs of every Muslim who enters a place like Imamzadeh. The subject of the paintings on the walls of the New Jolfa churches in Isfahan is generally the sufferings of Christ and his relatives and other religious traditions mixed with people's beliefs. In the imamzadehs of Isfahan, the religious stories and sufferings of the imams have been depicted mixed with folk beliefs, and the composition, colors and icons have been influenced by the churches. The execution of painting and the work materials of the painters have been almost common in both. Despite the similarities, the painting of churches has been a state art in a sense, but none of the creators of imamzadeh wall paintings were related to the ruling class, and this issue is very influential in the execution and richness of the work.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Research plays a significant role in the advancement of societies, technological and methodological maturity, and the economic development of nations and states. Among various community practices, it is considered one of the most influential factors. Several key factors contribute to the findings of research studies, including needs assessment and research prioritization, close collaboration between researchers and implementers, evaluation of the extent of needs assessment, and the benefits of research results. To improve the quality of urban management, it is crucial to make informed decisions based on a thorough understanding of existing realities. This necessitates conducting practical and precise studies. Municipalities hold great importance as organizations responsible for city administration and development. Therefore, it is essential to consider their actions and initiatives in enhancing and constructing cities. The present study focuses on the needs assessment in urban management and examines the recurring patterns of research needs assessment in the municipality of Isfahan. The research commenced by identifying relevant subjects such as needs, research needs, and research needs assessment. Following that, the municipality of Isfahan was selected as the case study, and the content of the interviews was analyzed and coded. Additionally, experts and specialists provided further insights through questionnaires. Upon analyzing the questionnaire responses, the study highlights the main reasons for research failures and the impracticality of many studies. One of the contributing factors is the general lack of interest in research, particularly in needs assessment. Two primary factors stand out: the inadequate recognition and definition of research at different levels of the municipality, and the absence of a well-defined and executable phase in research. Furthermore, the research procedure in projects conducted by the municipality of Isfahan revealed existing problems, primarily stemming from weaknesses in the needs assessment. The study also identified flaws in the comprehensive database of research studies, as well as the need for adaptability to changing needs and future perspectives. In summary, research holds immense value in societal advancements, technology, and economic development. Effective needs assessment, collaboration between researchers and implementers, and evaluation of research results are crucial factors in conducting meaningful studies. For urban management to improve, decision-making must be based on practical and precise research. The study specifically examines the needs assessment in the municipality of Isfahan, emphasizing the importance of defining research, designing executable phases, and addressing existing issues in research procedures and data management.&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The art of painting in Isfahan has a historical background dating back to cave dwellings in this region, playing a significant role in the evolution of Iranian painting and maintaining its structure throughout governmental changes. Isfahan's geographical location, situated in the center of Iran, has provided Iranian artists with the opportunity to engage with both Eastern and Western transformations. This characteristic, coupled with the migration and establishment of art universities in Iran, has had a profound impact on cultural and artistic relationships, leading to innovative movements in contemporary Isfahan painting. Drawing on the concept of hybridity and the third space, Homi Bhabha effectively describes the formation of this space in postcolonial critique and emphasizes its significance in generating new cultural and artistic interactions. One of the key factors contributing to the creation of such a space in contemporary Isfahan painting is the presence of migrant artists and graduates from art universities in other cities who have contributed to the emergence of a new visual space in Isfahan's art scene. This article aims to review the identity and formation of the third space in contemporary painting in Isfahan, with a focus on Homi Bhabha's theory. The central question of this research is: What impact have immigrant artists had on the reinterpretation of identity and the formation of the third space in Isfahan's contemporary painting? The research methodology employed is primarily a combination of a fundamental-applicative approach in terms of its objective and a descriptive-analytical approach in terms of its nature. The sampling method utilized is purposeful, involving the selection of four artists who have studied both in Tehran and in universities and schools in Isfahan, particularly in the field of painting. The research findings demonstrate that immigrant artists in Isfahan have successfully contributed to the creation of a new intercultural space within the city, closely aligning with Homi Bhabha's conceptualization of the third space.

        The rapeseed (Brassica napus) is one of the most important oilseed crops throughout the world. This crop is being attacked by several pests and diseases. This studies were conducted for the identification of some fungal diseases under laboratory and glass-house conditions on rape plants in Isfahan areas including; Braan, Koohpayeh, Mahabad, Mobarakeh, Dehaghan, Kabootarabad and Fraydan, where the infected plants were collected from the infected fields. The studies indicated that there are certain fungal pathogens infecting the areal and underground of rape plants. Isolation and growing cultures for identification of Fusarium species were with consistent and proper preparation of cultures on SA, WA, PDA, SNA, CLA, NASH &amp; NYDER. Obtained isolates were identified by using morphological and various keys. All isolates were categorized in 5 species of Fusarium including: F. culmorum,F. heterosporum, F. lateritium, F. oxysporum,F. solani and one species of Rhizoctonia (R. solani). Disease severity was calculated under laboratory condition and compared with control using scoring scales (0-24). Results showed that, the highest level of infection was recorded by F. culmorum, F. lateritium, F. oxysporum,F. solani and R. solani, whereas the least infection was noticed by F. lateritium and F. heterosporum. It was also tested the isolated species on growth of plant and symptoms of disease. On the base of analyzing the data using DMRT (P=0.01%, 0.05%) on shoot length, fresh and dry weight of plants by different isolated pathogen, it was noticed significant effect compared to control.

        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The present study analyzes the entrance of Isfahan Bazaar saria with the aim of investigating the field of vision and the level of visual attractiveness as a place that a tourist encounters at the first glance, and evaluates the components of physical quality with an emphasis on It measures the field of view and the depth of the tourist's gaze angle. The main question of the research is what is the relationship between the tourist's point of view and the physical-spatial quality components in the direction of readability at the entrance of the historical bazaar of Isfahan? The answer to this question is proposed in the form of this hypothesis; It seems that the greater the field and the depth of the viewing angle, it has a greater effect on the legibility of the environment as one of the components of environmental quality.In the study of three categories of Saria (small, medium, large), it can be concluded that the length of the corridor, the model of the entrance (straight, broken or spiral), the location of the entrance (corner or middle of the longitudinal or transverse side), The shape of the yard (rectangular or square), the area of ​​the yard in the plan can have an effect on the field of view of the tourist. But the tourist field of view, Isovist view and angle analysis in all cases have no direct relationship with readability as one of the components of the physical quality of space.Extended AbstractIntroduction:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The present study analyzes the entrance of Isfahan Bazaar saria&nbsp; with the aim of investigating the field of vision and the level of visual attractiveness as a place that a tourist encounters at the first glance, and evaluates the components of physical quality with an emphasis on It measures the field of view and the depth of the tourist's gaze angle. The main question of the research is what is the relationship between the tourist's point of view and the physical-spatial quality components in the direction of readability at the entrance of the historical bazaar of Isfahan? The answer to this question is proposed in the form of this hypothesis; It seems that the greater the field and the depth of the viewing angle, it has a greater effect on the legibility of the environment as one of the components of environmental quality Methodology.Results and discussion:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As a general result, it can be acknowledged that the observer's view from the Aizovist point of view does not have a direct relationship with readability as one of the components of the physical quality of the space. The vault of gifts is effective for attracting the unfamiliar audience (tourist) to that space, in the case that the short corridors show the current state of the palace for the audience with a passing glance and give him a general view of the palace. The longer the hallway is, the less the lines of sight are, and the attention is focused on the body of the hallway and the mind is involved in the analysis of the body and the spatial structure of the hallways, which multiply similar forms in the ceiling of the entrances leading to the mezzanine, the ceiling, and the vaults and details of the roof. Long-term Isovist view in the corridors, the direct connection between the states of the lines and the psychological states of the people, the parallel and parallel horizontal lines, even with the distance between them, with the help of the human eye, the principle of continuity, the straight and smooth line is understood and evoked. According to the prepared report and the software data about the angular analysis and the amount of rotation of the tourist in the environment, it was also proved to affect the understanding and readability. In all cases, direct paths have no direct relationship with the readability and appeal in the direction of attracting tourists. Why that the entrances that had a large rotation angle in the long corridors, the viewer is involved in the physical arrangement. The decorations protruding from the ceiling are effective in terms of depth and connection and the tourist's perspective and invite people to move in the space of the market. By being in the architectural space and seeing many layers in the horizontal and vertical view, the tourist will see different perspectives in the architectural space and will have a different understanding, this shows that the field of view alone is not enough to understand the environment.Conclusion:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the study of three categories of houses (small, medium, large), it can be concluded that the length of the corridor, the model of the entrance (straight, broken or spiral), the location of the entrance (corner or middle of the longitudinal or transverse side), The shape of the yard (rectangular or square), the area of ​​the yard in the plan can have an effect on the field of view of the tourist. But the tourist field of view, Isovist view and angle analysis in all cases have no direct relationship with readability as one of the components of the physical quality of space. Manuscript profile

        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Paying attention to the concept of citizens' security (especially women) and its improvement methods is considered as one of the primary priorities in urban spaces. For this reason, in the process of urban planning, improving the sense of security in urban environments, especially in historical contexts, has been one of the most important goals in urban life. The main purpose of this research is to identify the components of creating a sense of belonging to the place, as one of the most important areas of the urban historical context, to create security, especially among women in the Jo Bareh neighborhood of Isfahan. The research method is qualitative-quantitative research and the research design is combined (content analysis and survey method) to answer the research question of how the security parameters and the sense of belonging to the place affect the safety of women in the Jo Bareh neighborhood of Isfahan. Is it effective? The research hypothesis emphasizes the significance of the relationship between security and the sense of belonging to a place, which ultimately leads to the security of women in the historical context. The results of the research show that paying attention to the parameters of improving women's sense of security (gender, control, and type of fabric) and the parameters of improving the sense of belonging to a place (ownership, residential history, and memorableness) as the main parameters of this research, which have a two-way relationship in It was proposed to designers and architects for strategic solutions in the historical context of Jo Bareh, Isfahan, to increase the safety of women and the sense of belonging to the place. Urban safe spaces for women have a significant relationship with the expressed variables of a sense of belonging to a home and a sense of security, and the highest correlation was obtained related to natural control, and the lowest was shown for gender.Extended AbstractIntroduction:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Paying attention to the concept of security of citizens (especially women) and ways to improve it is considered one of the fundamental priorities in urban spaces. For this reason, in urban planning, reducing crime and enhancing the sense of security in urban environments, especially in historical contexts, have been one of the most significant goals in urban life. In recent years, various urban plans (comprehensive plans, detailed plans, improvement and renovation plans for historical contexts) have been considered with the aim of improving the physical, functional, social, and economic conditions in the historical contexts of Isfahan city. ; It is possible to mention the improvement projects of historical, cultural and tourism axes (Haruni, Jo Bareh, Jolfa, Jamale, Dar Dasht, Bid Abad, south of Imam Square). Jobareh neighborhood of Isfahan is at a low level in terms of overall social, physical, and economic structures. This rupture of the spatial and social construction has destroyed security in its various aspects, both environmental and social, the selection of the Jobareh neighborhood is important from this point of view; This geographical place is not only the oldest residential neighborhood of Isfahan city but also with the Jame Mosque and the old square and market, it has been neglected as a cultural, economic and residential group and lives in social, cultural and economic poverty. In this neighborhood, due to the existing problems, social bonds have been separated and most of the native people have left the area; Neighborhood residents are experienced by low-income people and Afghan and rural immigrants without a sense of belonging to the place because they are often not owners and their residence period is temporary. According to what has been said, the necessity of conducting this research is to control the spatial and social structure to solve the problems of this neighborhood, especially the safety of women. According to the above, the purpose of this research is to explain the relationship between women's sense of security and the feeling of belonging to a place in the Jo Bareh neighborhood of Isfahan to improve the psychological sence of security of women living in the environment.Methodology:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The type of research conducted in this research is based on primary data and a combination of (quantitative-qualitative) information. In this regard, firstly, from the descriptive-analytical method (content analysis) in the stage of theoretical studies, the use of data obtained from library studies, the subject literature, and the concepts of the feeling of security and the environmental and architectural factors affecting it, as well as the characteristics of the context. the urban worn-out texture, a review, and a theoretical framework for the discussion were set; In the phase of studying the existing situation, a quantitative method of the analytical-survey research plan (statistical analysis) has been used. By being present in the area under study, which is the Jobareh neighborhood of Isfahan, and by using field observations and setting up and distributing questionnaires, the necessary data were collected. and based on Morgan's table, a sample size of 300 women from the Jo Bareh neighborhood is considered. In the analytical method, the problem is not only described; Rather, the causes and effects have been investigated and analyzed. The significance level of the components was analyzed by the method of correlation coefficient analysis. The whole is divided into parts and analyzed separately. Also, the relationships of the ingredients with each other and the factors affecting them have been analyzed.Results and discussion:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The results of the research show that paying attention to the parameters of improving women's sense of security (gender, control, and type of fabric) and the parameters of enhancing the sense of belonging to a place (ownership, residential history, and memorableness) as the main parameters of this research, which have a two-way relationship in It was proposed to designers and architects for strategic solutions in the historical context of Jo Bareh, Isfahan, to increase the safety of women and the sense of belonging to the place. Urban safe spaces for women have a significant relationship with the expressed variables of a sense of belonging to a location and a sense of security, the highest correlation was obtained related to natural control, and the lowest was shown for gender.Conclusion:&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other researchers have also dealt with the mentioned cases, and suggestions have been presented by the researcher, which can be related to things such as: improving worn-out structures to prevent the creation of ruins and unsafe spaces while preserving the values. architecture; Creating spaces and public uses such as mosques, schools and parks in places with little traffic in order to increase the capacity threshold; Periodically holding festivals in order to promote collective culture; Trying to improve the sense of security in the area of worn-out structures by using the participation of the citizens themselves, such as holding events or changing the activity time in the studied area, can be impressive in order to make the area alive at night; widening the alleys and streets and creating mixed uses in them in order to increase the capacity threshold; increasing the permeability and accessibility of urban spaces; Improving the quality of the road network and removing physical and practical obstacles along the path of the sidewalks; improving the condition of road lighting; preventing the creation of remote and dark spaces and providing social supervision of others; Creating changes in the structure of the physical environment and influencing the way people use the environment and increasing citizen surveillance; He pointed out the possibility of more monitoring in all parts of the neighborhood to create public, cultural and sports spaces for the interaction of the residents of the neighborhood in order to increase the sense of belonging to the place and spending leisure time in those spaces in order to reduce social abnormality.

        The diamondback moth is one of the most destructive insect pests of cruciferous crops in worldwide especially in Iran that has shown major outbreak in cabbage and cauliflower fields in province Isfahan during recent years. This study aimed to investigate the performance of three bio-pesticides containing two commercial Bacillus turingiensisssp. kurstaki (Belthirul, Lepinox&shy;Plus) and one entomophagous fungus Beauveria bassiana (Naturalis), a hormonal insecticide (Atabron) and a chemical insecticide (Sumipleo) against this pest in the field. The experiment was conducted in 5 treatments in 4 replications in a randomized complete block sketch. Area of each plot was assigned about 50 square meters and the number of live larvae of the pest was counted on 10 plants in each plot on one day before and 5 and 10 days after spraying. The difference in mortality percentage between treatments was modified by Henderson-Tilton formula and analyzed by one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) The results showed significant differences between treatments for the mean mortality percentage on DBM larvae at 5 and 10 days after spraying. The highest and lowest mean mortality was seen in Sumi&shy;pleo with 88.2% and 87.8% and Naturalis with 35.3% and 36.5% in 5 and 10 days after spraying, respectively. Also, results of Logistic analysis of deviance showed significant differences between treatments for the mean mortality percentage on DBM larvae at 5 and 10 days after spraying. Therefore Sumi&shy;pleo had the highest performance in both 5 and 10 days after spraying with 88.3% and 88.6% mortality, respectively, and then Atabron (77%, 62.7%), Belthirul (67.8%, 71.9%), Lepinox&shy;Plus (71%, &shy;72.4%) and finally Naturalis (37.9%, 43.7%) with lowest performance. Due to good performance and compatibility with natural enemies, lower hazard than chemical pesticide and the result of this study the biological pesticide Lepinox Plus and Belthirul are recommended against DBM.

        Use of pesticides is a common practice in agriculture nowadays and indeed most pesticides are overused. Twomajor groups of pesticides are organochlorin and organophosphorus. In this study 13 surface soil and 10 surfaceand groundwater samples were collected in winter 1390 and spring 1391 within a radius of 60 Kms from thecenter of Isfahan metropolis. The measured concentrations of 8 organochlorin and 9 organophosphorus pesticidein the collected water samples indicate that all fall below the maximum recommended level and pose no threatto the environment. However, results from soil samples revealed that among the organochlorides theconcentration of DDT metabolites i.e combined DDE and DDD concentration is rather high. The concentrationof organophosphorus pesticide in soil depends upon several factors including, degradation half life and theamount of used pesticide. The concentration of residual organophosphor pesticide in soil is above recommendedsafe values. Manuscript profile

        Mollusca: Gastropoda (Mollusca: Gastropoda) are the main groups of invertebrates in various ecosystems that are known as pests of vegetable and summer crops as well as the intermediate host of a number of parasitic protozoan and worms. They are important in various fields of agriculture, medicine and veterinary medicine. Since there is no report on the species diversity of terrestrial snails in the west of Isfahan province, this study was conducted to study the biodiversity of terrestrial snails in the area and search for important species from different dimensions. For this purpose, the west of Isfahan province was divided into 5 regions (Faridan, Fereydoun Shahr, Chdegan, Khansar and Golpayegan). Then the samples collected from these stations were systematically and morphologically examined using valid identification keys up to the species level. The effect of environmental factors such as temperature and relative humidity on the distribution of species was also determined. According to the results, it was found that the optimum temperature for the collected snails was 19-15&deg;C and the best relative humidity was 25-45%. Finally, based on the results, six species of four genera under two families were identified. Manuscript profile

        Destruction of the land is a global process that ultimately leads to a decrease in soil fertility, and if we consider its concept as a kind of instability and imbalance in the relationship between man and the environment, it should be accepted that a large part of the world and the country of Iran are dealing with this environmental problem. is facing Dealing with the phenomenon of land destruction and desertification requires evaluating and monitoring the type and intensity of land destruction, determining the causes of the destruction, and taking necessary measures to face the problem, as well as checking the integrity of the projects mentioned. Remote sensing technology has a very valuable role in the evaluation and monitoring of land degradation and desertification in local, regional and global scales and has led to the creation of a new approach in studies related to the evaluation and monitoring of desertification. Considering the importance of the destruction issue, in this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the desertification of Isfahan watershed by using remote sensing data and Medalos model. In the first step, based on the situation of the region, six parameters of climate, soil, vegetation, underground water and management and policy were considered to evaluate the amount of destruction. The indices were quantified based on their effect on the destruction process and each of them was given a score between 0.5 and 1.5 according to the fuzzy method, and they were studied in the pixel scale. The obtained results indicate that 4% of the area is in the mild category, 10% of the area is in the moderate category, and 86% of the area is in the severe category of desertification. In terms of the range's sensitivity to destruction, 4% of the total area of the range is in the potential class, 22% in the fragile class A, 50% in the fragile class B, 20% in the fragile class C and 3% in the critical class. Therefore, about 92% of the area of the region is in the fragile layer. Manuscript profile

        AbstractIn the tourism industry, which has its own complexities, lack of planning cannot have a place; Because this industry is knowledge-based, scientific and program-oriented, and having a strategic plan in the marketing of this industry, especially hotel industry, satisfies the market demand. This research was conducted with the aim of "investigating the impact of market orientation on the financial performance of tourist hotels in Isfahan according to the mediating role of the meaningfulness of marketing plans and the novelty of marketing plans"; In terms of the method, it is a descriptive-survey of the correlation type with an applied nature and cross-sectional in terms of time. The statistical population of this research includes all the tourist hotels in Isfahan, which was selected as a statistical sample using the census method of 110 hotels. The measuring tool of the research was two standard questionnaires from reliable sources for the variables of market orientation, financial performance, meaningfulness and novelty of marketing programs, which was calculated to measure the validity of the questionnaires using the form and content method and to determine its reliability, Cronbach's alpha was calculated. Its value was estimated as 0.910. Data analysis was done using Spss26 and Amos24 software. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the data, and the structural equation method was used to test the hypotheses. The results of the research showed that in Isfahan tourist hotels, market orientation (customer orientation, competitor orientation, and functional integration) has an effect on hotel performance with the mediating role of strategic marketing plans. It was also determined by Baron and Kenny's method that the meaningfulness and novelty of marketing programs have an incomplete mediating role in the relationship between market orientation and hotel performance.

        Abstract Baluch people were displeased Sunni people who were living at the eastern borders of Safavid. Supported by Ghalzaee Afghans, they paved the way for collapse of Isfahan in 1135 AH. The collapse of Afghans with the name of Afghans took place by warlike power of Baluch people. The reason that encouraged Baluch people to join Afghans to attack Isfahan, in addition to their common religion, was the oppression of Shi'a government of Safavid on these disgraced people. Therefore, Baluch people decided to attack Isfahan to take revenge of several years rancor, and they gave positive response to request of Afghans and they caused the collapse of Isfahan. The present study aims to investigate the factors led to Baluch people move toward Isfahan and cause the collapse of Isfahan. It also aims to respond the question that which factors and incentives caused that Afghans and Baluch people cooperate and why this cooperation and alliance collapsed. This study aims to solve the complexities and provide right and appropriate response to these questions relying on resources and studies, and studying factors caused attack of Baluch people to Isfahan and its impact on collapse of this city.

        Allied forces, including Soviet and British forces, occupied Iran in September 1941. After a while, American forces were added to them. After entering Iran and achieving their goals, these forces were stationed in various areas, especially in some cities, including Isfahan, and began patrolling. The deployment and patrolling of the Allied forces in Isfahan has inevitably led to clashes between them and the people of Isfahan. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons for the Allied presence and patrol in Isfahan and their dealings with the people of Isfahan. To investigate this issue, a descriptive-analytical approach has been used with the help of unpublished documents and newspapers related to the deployment of the Allied forces in Isfahan in World War II and also the petitions of the people of Isfahan to city officials to protest the behavior of these forces. The findings of the present study showed that the geographical and communication importance of Isfahan, the presence of German agents and supporters in it and its proximity to the Bakhtiari and Qashqai tribes, forced the Allies to deploy and patrol their forces in this city and surrounding areas. Also, the presence of Allied forces in the city of Isfahan, in addition to breaking the legal and real personality of the officials and people of Isfahan and their superior treatment of the people in this city, also contributed to the spread of phenomena such as insecurity and corruption in the city.

        Throughout history, governments have generally been formed in convergence with the religion of the majority of society and from this point of view, due to the government&#039;s tendency and emphasis on a particular religion, religious minorities were exposed to neglect or sometimes restrictions and pressure; As the followers of Zoroastrianism in Sassanid Iran had the privilege of participating in power and benefiting from its benefits, but due to the change of religion of the majority of the people after Islam, their status was changed to a religious minority group. Dealing and facing with this Iranian minority by rulers and religious groups has been accompanied by ups and downs. During the Safavid era, they were sometimes treated peacefully and sometimes they were under pressure and were deprived of social rights. The harshness that was imposed on Zoroastrians at the end of the Safavid period caused them to sympathize with the Gholjai Afghans, who were considered as minority within the Iranian society, which it led to the fall of the Safavid government. In this research, the reasons for Zoroastrians joining the Gholjai rebels as one of the religious minorities of the Safavid era, and their role in the fall of Isfahan have been investigated.

        After the killing of Nadir shah (1160/1747), Karim Khan Zand trying to consolidate his authority in western Iran and its centre Isfahan engaged in 15 years severe wars with patents like Mohammad Hasan Khan Qajar and the Afghan Azad Khan. Meanwhile two border provinces in that region, Yazd and Kirman, did not accept Khan Zand's authority: Kirman rebelled against him and in Yazd, the Bafqi Khan, known Taqi Khan Yazdi declared independence. Rebellion of the two provinces, especially Yazd, threatened Karim Khan's actual capital: Isfahan, also his authority all over his domain. After conquering Yazd, the Zand Khan in accordance with his main strategy: preventing the threat to Isfahan and consolidating his authority over the domain, reinstated Taqi Khan as governor of Yazd. Till now there isn't any independent research in this respect, and in this article, the writer , by profithing from the new studies and especially the main sources, tries to investigate the importance of Isfahan and western Iran in those days, the influence of Yazd on Wakil's control over that city and territory and especially Taqi Khan's role in this process.

        Colors play an important-effective role to improvement of urban identity, readability of environment, vitality of urban spaces, the sense of place and sense of unity in urban spaces. Today, Iran's urban environments are often deprived of the visual richness of color qualities with incoherent and chaotic combinations and incomplete adaptations of different styles of Western architecture and urban planning, and by transforming the environment into backgrounds in the gray spectrum, lost the color diversity and various functions of this element. While many communities turn the color element into an opportunity to enhance the quality of the urban landscape and use standard color codes to visually enhance the visual quality of buildings, walls, floors, urban furniture and other building elements in their components and totality, But in many cities of Iran, the same element acts as a threat to the urban landscape due to confusion, irregularity and inconsistency in how it is used. Lack of proper use of color element and its related criteria in urban environments, in addition to adverse effects on place construction, reduced sensory richness, degraded place identity and legibility of urban space, in terms of disorders in the objective landscape of the city and adverse psychological effects of presence in such spaces it is also very important. A correct understanding of the capabilities of the color element in increasing the desirability of urban environments is a necessity today in the design of Iranian cities. Unfortunately, the fast growth of urbanization in recent decades, especially in developing countries, has dramatically changed urban perspectives, that it caused there is not enough accuracy in the principles of color using.Today's construction of Iranian cities, which is an uncoordinated and chaotic combination of incomplete adaptations of different styles of Western architecture and urban planning, deprives urban environments of the visual richness of color qualities and turns them into backgrounds in the gray spectrum of color diversity and various functions has strongly influenced the important element. While many communities have turned the color into an opportunity to enhance the quality of the urban landscape and use standard color codes to visually enhance the visual quality of buildings, walls, floors, urban furniture and other building elements in their components and totality. They have given that in many cities of Iran, this element acts as a threat to the urban landscape due to confusion, irregularity and inconsistency in how it is used. Proper use of color and its related criteria in urban environments, increase the sensory richness, enhance the identity of the place and legibility of the urban space, in terms of organizing the objective landscape of the city visual quality and positive psychological effects. A correct understanding of the capabilities of the color in increasing the desirability of urban environments is a necessity today in the design of Iranian cities.The purpose of this research is to provide some criteria for optimal utilization of the potential of the color factor to increasing the utility of urban landscape in according to the user&rsquo;s expectations. The hypothesis is that the adaptation of color spectra used in urban environments on the color expectations and mindsets of space users is effective in improving the quality and desirability of urban landscape. The method of this research is descriptive-analytic based on a survey strategy and the data are analyzed by quantitative method. In addition to, data collection is done by library and field studies. Statistical calculations are presented in three sections: Determination of sample size, Descriptive section and Inferential section separately. Information was evaluated with using the Excel and Spss software and significance level of 0.05. The research findings were obtained through study of the city context, statistical data as well as comparing and analyzing the color codes and using of internal and external experiences. At the end, the hypothesis have been analyzed and some solutions have been presented for color composition of urban image and landscape based on principles of aesthetics. These findings indicate that according to the religious, cultural and historical background and identity of the study area, those color spectrums that are reminiscent of religious symbols of this area and create a sense of belonging and religious identity among users in space, will have higher qualities.

        Biophilic architecture, which is referred to as biophilic architecture, and the construction of interstitial space in residential complexes in Iran in the current era, is facing many challenges and what is being built;In order to benefit from the principles of biophilic architecture,which leads to the improvement of the interaction between humans and the environment,it is not considered.At the same time, observing the principles of biophilic architecture(partial interaction between humans and the environment) is one of the most obvious characteristics of improving the architecture of interstitial spaces in the external environments located between the blocks of residential complexes in Iran,which can bring peace of mind and subsequent psychological restoration of the residents. Interstitial space is a space that is constantly It is on the move and not necessarily a place in itself with a built-in boundary. Also,this space becomes a stable place in a geometry with complex inter-relationships, a place where the surrounding geometry inhales and exhales, and the architecture of this space absorbs everything it can use to build it. As the basis of spatial hierarchy, the interstitial space has had a special place in the structure of historical residential architecture in Iran. Nowadays, due to the destruction of the residential architecture structure, the position of the intermediate arena has also suffered from deficiencies. The lack of an intermediate arena has caused many psychological and social anomalies in the structure of today's residential architecture. Meanwhile, unfortunately, nowadays,in the construction of interstitial physical space in neighboring residential environments, we witness the forgetting of the principles and standards of biophilic architecture, which in turn could calm or restore the mentality and spirit of the residents. At the same time, biophilic architecture, which should be induced through creating the body of buildings in residential environments; Remaining unknown and continuous between the natural and building environments, and along with that the interaction between man and nature and the effect of nature on the human psyche, has been damaged and gradually goes into oblivion. Therefore, biophilic architecture can promote the relative understanding of the evolution of the human body and mind and its relationship with nature. However, paying attention to biophilic architecture in the design principles of the interstitial space in general can lead to the improvement of human life. Because the elements of nature, by being placed in the interspace outside the residential blocks, in addition to reducing stress and creating a positive mood in the users, they bring the elements in these spaces closer to each other and thus strengthen the bond between man and nature. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to investigate the interspace in the residential complex of Zeytoun Isfahan based on the approach of bio-oriented architecture. The question is, what is the relationship between the physical components (materials, geometry, height of neighboring buildings and dimensions) of the interspace of Zeytoun in Isfahan city residential complex with bio-oriented architecture from the residents' point of view? Analytical and using the method of logical reasoning along with the method of collecting information in the form of library and field studies with the tool of questionnaire and the use of correlation test came to the conclusion that the physical components of the Biophilic interspace in the residential complex of Zeytoun in the city of Isfahan, (materials, geometry,dimensions,the height of neighboring buildings) in addition to improving the climatic and environmental performance, it has improved the quality of life of the residents and their mental health due to the use of natural systems and processes, and there is a continuous relationship of mutual actions between the physical components of the interspace of the Zeytoun residential complex in the metropolis of Isfahan and Biophilic architecture lies in the direction of improving the relationship between man and the environment, the creation of space and its perception. Also, according to the audience's point of view, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between the physical components (materials, geometry, height of neighboring buildings and the dimensions(length and width)of the interspace with Biophilic architecture from the perspective of the residents in the Zeytoun residential complex with an average significance level of 98%. and the variables have been evaluated positively and in the same direction with each other.

        One of the products that is able to provide vitamins and amino acids needed for humans in the current conditions is edible button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). Despite its properties, this food item can be the cause of many minerals and heavy metals due to its direct connection with the soil. The aim of this study was to investigate the amount of heavy metals and fungal acids in Campylobacter, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus in Isfahan city. In this study, 100 samples of edible button mushrooms were randomly selected from the supply centers of this product in Isfahan city and transported to the food hygiene laboratory of Shahrekord Azad University for chemical and microbiological tests. SPSS version 23 software and chi-square statistical analysis were used to analyze the data. According to the obtained results, out of 100 samples, 24 samples (24%) were infected with Campylobacter, 17 samples (17%) with Escherichia coli, 40 samples (40%) with Salmonella and 56 samples (56%) with Staphylococcus aureus. . Also, according to the results, the consumption of heavy metals, including lead, cadmium and arsenic, exceeded the standard. Based on the results obtained from the present study and pathogenic bacteria in mushrooms, it is necessary to be extremely careful in preparing edible mushrooms and refuse to eat them raw.

        With the purpose of identifying Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and Newcastle disease virus in acute death of ostriches, 40 tracheal samples from 22 ostrich farms with acute mortality were collected from all over the Isfahan province with the history recorded. After RNA and DNA extraction from tracheal tissue, the cDNA was prepared using reverse transcriptase kit. The extracted DNA was evaluated for amplification of 16srRNA gene of ORT using specific primers and cDNA was amplified by Newcastle disease specific primers based on M gene. The 16srRNA gene was amplified in positive control and a 784 bp fragment was reached but it was not amplified in any of the collected samples. Furthermore, in 24 of the 40 collected samples (60%) a 1097 bp fragment of the M gene of Newcastle disease virus was amplified. From a total of 22 evaluated flocks with acute mortality, 22 flocks (68.18%) were infected with Newcastle disease virus. By considering the results of this study, currently there is no infection with ORT in ostrich flocks of Isfahan province, but Newcastle disease virus has the main role in acute deaths in ostrich farms.&nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) infection is a common respiratory infection in growing chickens that mainly plays a role in complexing other respiratory pathogens. For detection of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale in quails of Isfahan province, 60 tracheal samples from 20 quail farms with respiratory signs and 60 tracheal samples from 20 apparently healthy quail farms were collected along with history recording. After DNA extraction from tracheal tissues, the 16srRNA gene from ORT was amplified by ORT specific primers. The electrophoresis of PCR product showed that a 784bp fragment of 16srRNA gene was amplified in 18 samples from quails with respiratory signs (30%) and 4 samples from apparently healthy quails (6.66%) as positive control. Also 7 of the 20 farms with respiratory signs (35%) and 3 of the apparently healthy farms (15%) were infected by ORT. By considering the results of this study, it can be stated that infection by ORT in quail farms with respiratory signs and in apparently healthy farms is common in Isfahan province and therefore it is necessary to approve the pathogenicity of ORT and apply suitable vaccination against ORT in quail breeder farms to induce immunity in meat type quails.

        &nbsp; &nbsp;For comparison of the incidence rate of ascites in broilers affected by respiratory syndrome in Isfahan (ISF) and Chaharmaha-va-bakhtiari (CMB) provinces, 74 broiler chicken flocks in ISF and 27 broiler chicken flocks in CMB were monitored along growing period during 2010-2012. Results showed the frequency of ascites incidence in CMB was significantly higher than ISF (p&lt;0.05). The analysis of data showed that there was a significant relationship between respiratory syndrome and ascites syndrome incidence in broiler chickens (p&lt;0.05) but there was no relationship between ascites and location after respiratory syndrome. Furthermore, the percent of ascites incidence after respiratory syndrome in CMB was significantly higher than ISF (p&lt;0.05). It seems that broiler chickens in CMB, due to some risk factors such as high altitude and low temperature, were highly susceptible to ascites after respiratory syndrome in comparison to ISF and it is necessary to apply specific nutritional and hygienic management measures of broiler flocks in this area.

        Paying attention to urban regeneration regarding the old neighborhoods of Isfahan city can bring environmental responsibility and increase the level of identity and belonging among citizens, which in this regard, creative tourism can facilitate its achievement.As the aim of this research, this study seeks to investigate the role of creative tourism in the regeneration and development of tourism in the historical context of Isfahan city. The current research is based on library studies and field investigations in terms of developmental-applicative goal and in terms of descriptive-analytical methodology. To achieve the objectives of the research, indicators in two parts: 1- creative tourism indicators including 5 categories (social capital, quality of life, tourism talent, physical infrastructure and tourism experience) and 2- regeneration indicators in 4 categories (social, economic, cultural and physical) were extracted. In the following, to present the creative tourism development model and its effect on the development process of the city of Isfahan, using the questionnaire tool and with a sample size of 383 people, and using spss software, the work process continued. Creative was analyzed in Geoda software. In the process of urban network analysis, tools (Network Analyst Tools) have been used in the ArcGIS software environment to produce maps. The results showed that the status of 5 indicators of creative tourism at the level of the historic sites of Isfahan city is good, and only in the physical infrastructure sector, there is a lack of feeling, but the situation of the regeneration indicators of the historical sites of Isfahan city is completely inappropriate. Comparing the average state of tourism development Among the different urban localities, the creative also shows that the highest is related to Dardasht and Togchi localities with averages of 16.41 and 15.90, respectively, and the lowest is related to Kangaz and Kardalan localities, respectively, with averages of It was 12/18 and 13/84.Soil erosion is a global problem that threatens water and soil resources and land use change is one of the important factors in soil erosion intensification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of land use change on soil erosion in Razeychay watershed of Meshginshahr located in Ardabil province. First, Landsat images of the study area in May 1999, and 2019 and were obtained from USGS website. In the image processing stage, atmospheric and radiometric corrections have been conducted, and then the land use maps of the study area has been prepared for study years using support vector machine (SVM) as a supervised classification method. Then, the RUSLE model was used to estimate the amount of erosion in the two time span.

        For achieving goals such as visual beauty, spatial harmony, proper functioning, the positive environmental and psychological effects in planning, requires the use of a consistent, coherent, meaningful and beautiful element of color. The present paper attempts to provide solutions for the preparation and development of color matching conventions according to the climate, culture and neighborhood identity. In this research, for the purpose of achieving the desired objective using the Lenclos method for analyzing the existing colors and using the Kil hong Matrix, we introduce rules and guidelines for planning the correct use of color in the urban landscape. Also in ordertoclarify the subject and present a practical example, the neighborhood of Khalaja has been selected as acase study area and the role of color in its urban landscape has been analyzed.The research method inthis paper is descriptive-analytic and field studies. The statistical population in this researchincludes200 residents of the neighborhood and the passersby. A questionnaire was distributed about thecolor status of the neighborhood and the extraction of mental images between people. The analysis results from the incorrect recognition of the color element and the combination and incorrect use of colored elements alongside each other. Due to lack of appropriate harmonic coloration, Khalaja has a kind of visual contamination, which can be arranged in terms of coherence, functional and aesthetic coordination. The results of this study indicate that appropriate colors should be defined according to the climatic conditions of the place, international standards and cultural features, historical.

        Rules and regulations of urban planning are one of the main components of urban settlements. This indicates that the more the implementation of these criteria is observed in the field of construction, the better the bed and body of urban settlements and consequently, citizens&rsquo; satisfaction increases. In the metropolises and cities of our country, Iran, the municipality is the primary reference for the application of urban planning rules and regulations. Therefore, the requirement of municipalities to issue building permits following urban planning criteria has a key role in forming the appropriate body and bed of urban neighborhoods and promoting citizen satisfaction. In this research, by dividing urban planning criteria into ten components: elevation criteria, access and passage criteria, Parking criteria, advance and balcony criteria, land use criteria, fa&ccedil;ade and urban landscape criteria, adaptation criteria for the disabled, sidewalk criteria, visibility and skylight criteria, area and occupancy criteria; citizens' satisfaction of regions 6, 8, and 14 of Isfahan was evaluated from the implementation of these criteria by a questionnaire in the form of a 5-point Likert scale (very low = 1, low = 2, medium = 3, high = 4, very high = 5). Using one-sample t-test, the results showed that according to the average limit of response 3, the rate of the significance of all variables is less than 0.05&nbsp; and the level of citizens' satisfaction with the implementation of urban planning rules and regulations in target areas is lower than the normal and it is not in a desirable level.

        Since the most basic needs of earthquake victims is to have a shelter and that after the earthquake, we can&rsquo;t quickly provide suitable places for earthquake victims, before the occurrence of such crises, we should provide appropriate places in terms of (urban accessibility, security, avoidance of risk prone areas, etc.) for such victims. Therefore, the present study is to predict the best places for temporary housing of victims of the potential earthquake in the city of Isfahan. The type of this research is practical and the method of it is analytical documentary. In this study, by using basic standards of compatible and incompatible applications, accessibility and density of population and traffic by using the method of network analysis (AHP) and the use of fuzzy logic, standards set by the experts were measured and finally by the fuzzy analysts of geographic information system (GIS) were overlapped on weight. The results of this study indicate that parts of the area with sufficient open spaces and at the same time compatible with surrounding land uses have relatively better potential for establishment of victims. In return, regions such as the northern parts of the city due to the lack of rescue and rehabilitation uses and absence of adequate and valuable planning space have the least possible capacity of planning for temporary housing of earthquake victims.

        The information and data required for the research were collected using documentary and field methods. The statistical population includes creative cultural tourists in Isfahan. Using the Cochran's sample estimation formula, the number and sample size of the study population was 385. In order to analyze the data, Excel, SPSS software and Chi-square or Chi-square, univariate, Spearman statistical tests and also to determine strategies and strategies for the development of creative cultural tourism, SWOT model has been used. Research findings indicate that the characteristics and richness of historical monuments; cultural; social; scientific; Handicrafts; Natural art and ... are among the tourist attractions of Isfahan so that creative cultural tourism has a great impact on attracting tourists to this famous city. However, repulsions and lack of facilities related to the creative cultural tourism industry of Isfahan also reduce and do not increase the number of tourists, which in general leads to the weakness of infrastructure facilities for the underdevelopment of cultural tourism. Using the SWOT model, the results showed that the city of Isfahan with a total of 20 strengths and opportunities with a weight score of 3.33 and 3.41, respectively, as advantages, many potentials for the development of creative cultural tourism. But at the same time, 18 weaknesses and threats facing this creative cultural tourism of Isfahan with weight scores of 3.86 and 3.21, respectively, as limitations show that it also faces challenges and problems.

        Water is the most precious wealth available to mankind; Especially in the dry areas of the country, which covers a huge area of our country. At the national level, a large share of investments is spent on infrastructure and infrastructure and improving the management of water resources and its transmission. These mentioned factors will show the importance of the water sector and economic and social security at the national level. One of the inter-basin water transfer projects that is being studied and implemented is the transfer of water from Beheshtabad to Zayandehroud. Beheshtabad project is the name used to transfer water from Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces to Isfahan, Yazd and Kerman provinces. The purpose of this article is to analyze the situation of inter-basin water transfer in Isfahan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces, which has been collected using descriptive-analytical research method and using library resources and internet sites. The results of the findings show that most experts believe that the implementation of this plan has negative consequences on the provinces of origin in particular and on national security in general. Political activism, security challenges (ethnic conflicts), social, economic and environmental tensions resulting from not studying and incorrect feasibility of the plan are among the issues that make the justification of its implementation appear unjustified.

        Patterns are simulations of reality, comparisons that make it easier to see the intricacies of the real world. Each explanatory paradigm looks at human life in different ways, and each of these paradigms offers specific hypotheses about the nature of the phenomenon's reality. Creative tourism can also be mentioned as a tool to revive urban tourism. Because cities are considered as cultural systems that are formed by human and natural heritage. The purpose of this study is to explain the pattern of creative tourism in Isfahan. The prevailing approach is based on the applied goal and based on the profound nature, based on the questionnaire and the futures research approach. In order to model, first all the factors involved in the future of creative tourism in Isfahan have been prepared by studying and reviewing the research background and then by interviewing and reviewing documents and Delphi questionnaires. Snowball sampling method and 35 questionnaires were distributed among tourism elites and university professors as the statistical population of the study. Based on this, first indicators and 52 variables in 6 areas of political, social, economic, technological, environmental and physical have been identified. Then, for data processing, structural interaction analysis by Mikomak software has been used. The key factors for drawing a creative tourism model were identified and ranked, and based on this, an attempt was made to draw a suitable model for the realization of creative tourism in Isfahan.

        The necessity of knowing the characteristics of the natural environment in order to clean and identify the suitable places for the creation of monuments and buildings from the unfavorable areas becomes clear. It is in line with gaining this kind of knowledge that effective steps can be taken in choosing the most suitable place for the creation and expansion of cities. The application and role of geomorphology in sustainable urban development is evident through the basic research required for urban projects as well as environmental awareness and standardization for urban planners and policy makers. Case in point, the impact of geomorphological phenomena on the city can be located in , location and evolution of the city, physical expansion and determining the directions of the expansion of the city, morphology of the city and also classified urban constructions. Therefore, the necessity of preliminary studies for the establishment of cities and human settlements is felt more and more, and it seems necessary to create written programs that fit the environment and apply them in decisions at different scales. Considering that, from the point of view of hazard analysis and management, most of the damages are caused by the incorrect location of buildings and structures, the importance and necessity of knowing the characteristics of natural environments in order to distinguish and distinguish suitable places for building buildings and structures from unfavorable areas is known.

        Abstract The goal of this study is to investigate the relationship between rangeland area, the number of exploiter, and animal unit to Range Management plan. First, the list of summer range of Isfahan plans was prepared. Then, rangeland area, the rangeland yield, the number of exploiter, and the animal unit were pulled out from the Range plans. Next, the number of existing animals in rangelands was counted. The number of samples was determined 90, among 226 Summer Range Management Plans, using Cochran's formula. Samples contain 45 plans of one exploiter and 45 plans of the group (plans which had more than one exploiter). Finally, the relationship between the rangeland area, the number of exploiter and animal unit (separately and commonly) and rangeland's yield were analyzed in both one exploiter's rangeland and group rangelands. Then, yield in two group's rangeland was compared. Also the number of existing animal and animal unit in each group (separately) were compared. Results indicated that a negative significant relationship was found between the yield and the rangeland area in both one exploiter rangelands (P&le; 0.01) and group rangelands (P&le; 0.05). A significant relationship was found between rangeland the yield and the animal unit in each two group's rangeland (P&le; 0.01). There is no significant difference (P&le;0.05) between yields in two group's rangeland. Finally, a significant relation was found between the number of existing animal and animal unit in each two group's rangeland. Hence, sustainable rangeland management can be achieved by the selection of the number of animal unit based on rangelands area and yield. Manuscript profile

        Urban planning seeks to allocate the valuable and limited land resources among different land types. During this process various conflicting objectives are emerged and prepared, and land use planners should proffer land use layouts satisfying these kinds of objectives. Due to these facts, land use allocation is a multi-objective optimization problem that deals with a large set of data and variables and optimization methods have been developed to facilitate solving this kind of problem. As land use optimization is a complex NP-hard problem, current exact methods are not able to solve such problem and land use optimization relies on application of meta-heuristic algorithms. In this paper, a meta-heuristic algorithm is developed and applied based on harmonic search algorithm for solving land use optimization problem. In this paper, seven land types (residential, commercial, cultural, educational, medical, sport and green space) are allocated to 200 allocation cells with size 1000 m2 subject to compactness, compatibility and suitability maximization. The outputs of the harmonic search algorithm were compared to a common population-based algorithm, genetic algorithm. The results demonstrated that for the defined problem the harmonic search algorithm was more acceptable than genetic algorithm in terms of solution quality and algorithm efficiency. It was 98.9 percent faster than genetic algorithm. The results also showed that the land use layouts achieved by both algorithms had been better than the current state of land use distribution. Thus, the cross-cutting method represented in this paper can be used as a useful tool in the hands of urban planners and decision makers, and supports the land use planning process.

        This study was fulfilled aiming at the identification of spatial and temporal changes of temperature islands in Isfahan province First, a data basis of the highest and lowest net-based temperature and a committee were founded in Isfahan. Using the data of the basis, a statistical period of 35 years from 1980 to 2014 was chosen as the basis of the study and a geo with dimensions of 18 by 18 kilometers was spread on the area understudy. In order to access the during-year changes of the temperature islands of Isfahan, modern methods of spatial statistics such as Moran's I autocorrelation and hotspots in GIS environment were used. The results of the study showed that the changes of spatial and temporal in temperature islands of Isfahan possess a high cluster pattern. Based on the local Moran&rsquo;s indicator and hotspot, the temperature islands of the east and north of the province have a positive spatial autocorrelation while the west and southwest areas have negative spatial correlation. During the study 41.45 of the province has not had any meaningful pattern or spatial autocorrelation. It was also shown that the temperature islands are controlled and affected by the local factors which control the space as well as the outside factors which control the time. Manuscript profile

        Housing today is considered as one of the most basic human needs after food and clothing, and due to its economic nature, it is one of the main categories of urban and rural communities. With the increasing population growth and the development of urban life, the need for housing has also increased and the need for planning in this area is more prominent. One of the most effective tools for measuring the status, decision making and planning of housing is quantitative and qualitative indicators of housing. In this research, using these indices, we investigate the housing situation in Isfahan province and compare these cities with each other. The required data have been derived from the results of the general census of population and housing in Isfahan province in 2011 and the information obtained from the statistics center site. Eventually, by using TOPSIS technique, cities have been ranked in terms of level of development in the housing sector and the results have been analyzed using GIS software. Based on the results of the study, "Esfahan" ranked first as the most developed city and city of "Fereydoun Shahr" as the most deprived city and the other cities are located in a spectrum between them, then using the SWOT technique the internal factors were identified and some approaches for using the opportunities and overcoming the weaknesses were proposed. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Assessment of resilience rate in urban land uses and survey of their vulnerability situation in probable disasters is very prominent and has a special necessity in urban crisis management plans. Moreover, among urban land uses, educational land use has a singular significance because of the concentration of potential human resources in the future and the priority of rescue. The aim of this study is an assessment of the vulnerability rate in probable crises and also the availability of main management indicators in crisis planning and emergency evacuation of the population in the second education district of Isfahan. The case of this study is all schools in the secondary education district of Isfahan which is located in the third and fourth urban districts. The 142 participants of the study were selected from among the primary, secondary, high school, technical, and centers of special needs. The research method in this study is applied and descriptive. The schools in the study area have been evaluated and reviewed using two special indicator groups: basic and management indicators. The indicators are combined and new and are the latest ones in applied methods used by researchers and research institutes in the field of crisis management. The results show that schools in the secondary education district of Isfahan are weak in terms of fundamental structures and their resilience in probable crises such as earthquakes. On the other hand, the crisis management situation in these schools is undesirable based on their advantages. Therefore, these schools are extremely weak in crisis management and evacuation. In general, the situation of the schools studied in probable events is considered unsuitable, vulnerable, and critical, taking into account integrated indicators and requires strengthening of infrastructure and management approaches.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        One of the new concepts in urban planning is regeneration using the urban catalyst approach and it is used as a tool to regenerate the existing urban fabrics. Urban regeneration and catalyst project drives have different dimensions from the physical ones on which this study has focused. After reviewing the characteristics of urban catalyst projects, the physical indices were identified. Then, the physical changes in the residential environment of the Limjir neighborhood located in the 11th district of Isfahan before and after the construction of Limjir street as a catalyst project during the years 2009 to 2016, were evaluated and analyzed using a variety of methods, library, and field measurement methods. Then, using the Analytic Hierarchy Process model (AHP) weighting, scoring, and calculation of the integration index in two conditions before and after implementation of the catalyst project is addressed. A comparison of index values in two periods 2009 and 2016 shows that the construction of Limjir Street causes the development and improvement of the physical status of the Limjir neighborhood. Also, the calculation and comparison of the integration index show that the physical condition of the Limjir neighborhood has improved by 0.308 in comparison to the situation before the construction of the catalyst project in 1388. Factors such as improving access to Limjir street, investment in the housing sector and extensive construction, increased service, and mixing of land uses have had the highest share in creating positive changes in the Limjir neighborhood.

        People's need for places for social interactions and to meet psychological needs is one of the necessities of urban life. By understanding the relationship between environment and behavioral patterns (synapomorphy), it is possible to help architects and urban designers to design suitable spaces. For this purpose, Enghelab square of Isfahan has been selected for the case study as a joint-maker area of two valuable and historical elements (Siosepol Bridge and Chahar Bagh Street) on the border of Zayandehroud. The research method in this research is based on quantitative and qualitative methods or a mixed one. Fieldwork, photography, observation, and questionnaire were accomplished to recognize the area, and the Delphi method and SPSS were used to evaluate synapomorphy criteria and indicators. The obtained results illustrated that four aspects (social interaction, images, environmental facilities, and space function) were the most significant factors in forming behavioral settings. According to the analysis, the indicators like activity variety and attractiveness activities, the easiness of accessibility to spaces, the possibility to sit and talk, the diversity of utilization, and arbitrariness with scores of 0.0909, 0.0866, 0.0823, 0.0799, and 0.0736 respectively have the most effect on synapomorphy of behavior and physical environment.

        Increasing use of ready to eat foods is because of changing in lifestyle, increasing urbanization and benefits of this food in terms of ease of use and time-saving preparations. Microbial contamination of foods such as Olovie salad, without any secondary processing stage, is very serious. In this study, 102 samples including 48 samples of Olovie salad produced by industrial units and 54 samples produced in traditional units in Isfahan were purchased and their microbial contamination compared with the Iranian standard number 17813. The results showed that 60.4 % of industrial and just 7.4% of traditional samples were in accordance with the national standard in all microbial tests. Industrial samples showed significant difference just in contamination with Staphylococcus aureus (P&lt;0.001). Sandwich shops that were graded in terms of visible hygiene and equipment, were significantly different only in total bacteria and coliforms count (P&lt;0.01). From 26 samples prepared in traditional units with grade one, 22 samples (84.6%) and all 28 samples prepared from the traditional units grade two (100%) were rejected according to relevant standard.&nbsp; Traditional and industrial samples showed significant difference in all microbial tests except contamination with Clostridium perfringens (P&lt;0.01). The results showed microbial contamination of Olovie salads in markets of Isfahan. More contamination in traditional samples is result of frequent training of personal and general hygiene in factories, cleaning and disinfection of equipment, familiarity with the principles of GMP, frequent inspection and requirement of presence of quality control managers at time of production.

        Acinetobacter species are saprophytic and have emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen. In this study, 100 samples of traditional butter and cream, were evaluated for the presence of the A. baumannii. The A. baumannii isolates were genotyped based on virulence genes and phenotype according to antibiotic resistance patterns. The results showed that from 50 samples of butter and cream, 2 samples (4%) and 1 sample (2%) were contaminated with A. baumannii. Antibiotic resistance examination showed that all isolates were resistant to the antibiotics of meropenem, imipenem, chloramphenicol, methicillin, carbapenem and fusidic acid.

        Cysticercus bovis is a neonatal stage of stenosis called Taenia saginata. 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.

        In&nbsp; situations where, according to research, interactions among people are considered to be one of the most important human needs, this matter, for various reasons has been neglected and forgotten. Regardless of rationalizations such as cultural and economic reasons and so forth, the lack of spaces that have the ability to create such interactions seems to be certain. In the contemporary era, as compared to the past, houses no longer have spaces for social interaction. Meanwhile, a study of Iran's architecture and urban planning will indicate the making of social interactions in different spaces of historical houses. This research has specifically considered the courtyards of historical houses. Therefore, the basic question here is what were the intrinsic and external characteristics of spaces such as courtyards in historical houses that could provide such a capability? In this regard, the goal of this study is to find out the reasons for the success of the courtyards of historical houses in improving the level of social interaction from the perspective of the residents of these houses, because these people, due to their lived experience, can answer the question better than others. This research was done using systematic data-based theory. In this regard, conducting interviews and then analyzing the data led to the formation of a model that shows how, from the perspective of the residents, historical courtyards, with facilities for collective gathering such as flexible design and having environmental capabilities, could achieve such a capability.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Jāme al-Asrār, a mystical-didactic essay written by Mohammad Ali Isfahāni, also called Noor Ali Shāh (died in 1212 AH), the famous mystic of the early thirteenth century AH. Imitating Sa'di's Golestān, Jāme al-Asrar has been written both in verse and prose by him. Noor Ali Shāh is one of the leading mystics of the Qajar period, from whom many mystical works of prose and poetry have been left. Studying his works will help understanding the mystical literature of the Qajar period. This paper aims at answering the following questions: What didactic trainings could be found in Jāme al-Asrar and what techniques did he uses to train them? In this study, the didactic lessons of Jāme al-Asrār were investigated by using a descriptive-analytic approach, and some of its salient didactic teachings were classified into three main headings (theoretical mysticism, moral-educational, and Mystical-Sufi). The results show that though like Sa'di, he paid much attention to moral and educational lessons due to the general popularity of Sa'di's Golestān to these matters, like many others who embark to write a similar work to Golestān as one of the masterpieces of Persian literature, however, in Noor Ali Shāh's Jāme al-Asrār, the Mystical-Sufi teachings which was the ultimate reason for writing this treatise, is higher in frequency than the other two classified subjects. The author has also used both the direct and the indirect methods of teaching the concepts and has used tricks such as storytelling, teaching through dialogue between characters, teaching through prayers, training through advice, and training through questions and answers and in writing this work. It is also inferred that the writer has paid attention to all levels of society from ordinary people to the high rank mystics as his audience. Manuscript profile

        Introduction The role of climate in the study of urban environments is important in terms of its impact on climate change in urban environments. The heat island is one of the hazards that has recently affected the environmental conditions of cities due to urban development. Methodology For this purpose, Landsat ETM satellite images were used during the period 1990-2019. In this regard, LST and NDVI indices, urban coverage and land use were used. Geographical area of research The city of Isfahan has been considered in this study. Results and discussion The results showed that the high temperature is mostly in the central core of Isfahan and the surrounding city is covered by the middle temperature class. Most of the low temperature class also includes agricultural use due to high humidity. Parks and green spaces in the city are among the middle temperature classes due to the impact of high and very high temperature areas around them. Conclusion In general, it can be said that in the last three periods, the highest area has been related to the average temperature, and this trend will continue in the coming years. Due to the reduction of agricultural land use and the physical expansion of the city, the area of heat islands in the upper range has increased. On the one hand, the reasons for the increase in high temperatures are the increase in population, the increase in industries and the number of cars in the city, the multiplication of traffic volumes, the increase in asphalt levels and urban and interurban roads, and the increase in wasteland due to grazing. He pointed to overcrowding and damage to pastures, as well as clearing of green lands and deforestation. Manuscript profile

        چکیده لجن نفتی پسماندهای حاصل از فرآیندهای پالایش نفت خام می‌باشند و اولویت‌ترین آلاینده های آلی موجود در محیط زیست هستند. تحقیق حاضر با هدف بررسی توانایی گیاه آفتابگردان و تال فسکیوی زینتی جهت پالایش لجن نفتی پالایشگاه اصفهان و عکس‌العمل رشد این گیاهان به آلودگی نفتی در شرایط گلخانه انجام شد. بدین منظور لجن نفتی پس از هوا خشک شدن به نسبت‌های صفر(شاهد)، 10 و 20 درصد وزنی با خاک غیر آلوده مخلوط و به صورت جداگانه در گلدان (3 kg) ریخته شد. آزمایش به‌صورت کرت‌های خرد شده در قالب طرح کاملاً تصادفی در سه تکرار اجرا گردید. بر اساس نتایج، میانگین درصد جوانه‌زنی گیاه تال فسکیو با افزایش مقدار لجن از سطح 0 به سطح 10 و 20 درصد به‌طور معنی‌داری کاهش یافت (P&lt;0.01). در گیاه آفتابگردان این کاهش معنی‌دار نبود. میانگین ارتفاع، عملکرد ریشه و اندام هوایی گیاه تال فسکیو فقط در تیمار 20 درصد لجن نفتی نسبت به تیمار شاهد کاهش معنی‌دار نشان داد. در گیاه آفتابگردان این کاهش در هر سه سطح لجن معنی‌دار نبود (P&lt;0.01). بیشترین مقدار کاهش هیدروکربن‌های نفتی (89%) در ریزوسفر گیاه تال فسکیو، در سطح 10 درصد لجن نفتی مخلوط با خاک مشاهده شد. با افزایش میزان لجن مصرفی به بیش از 10 درصد، میزان تجزیه هیدروکربن‌های نفتی در ریزوسفر هر دو گیاه به طور معنی‌داری کاهش یافت. بنابراین به دلیل رشد و عملکرد مناسب ماده خشک گیاهی و داشتن سیستم ریشه فیبری در گیاه تال فسکیو که سبب کاهش بیشتر کل هیدروکربن‌های نفتی می‌شود، استفاده از این گیاه به عنوان گونه‌ای مناسب برای گیاه پالایی خاک‌های آلوده به لجن نفتی پالایشگاه اصفهان توصیه می‌شود.

        Armenia is a land in the northwest of Iran and was considered one of the provinces of Iran during the Safavid period. During the Safavid period, Armenians migrated to Isfahan by the order of Shah Abbas, and their settlement in this area resulted in a special architecture originating from the rich Iranian and Armenian culture. This research deals with the typology of Jolfa Armenian churches from the point of view of physical system, spatial arrangement, physical communication, ways of defining space (open space, closed space, covered space). The purpose of this study is the typology of the churches of Isfahan and their physical comparison with the churches of the main land of Armenia for a better genealogy of these valuable buildings. The result of this research will provide the possibility of classifying the churches of Jolfa in Isfahan. This research seeks to answer two questions. What are the patterns extracted from the Armenian churches of Isfahan? How are these patterns different from the patterns of churches in the Armenian mainland? The method of collecting information is field and library, and the research method is descriptive-analytical. The obtained results show that we are facing a kind of cultural eclecticism in the churches of Isfahan. Jolfa is a rightful representative of architecture in a foreign land, where both the identity of the original country and the identity and patterns of the destination country have been well respected. Armenians knew the architecture with stone well, but they did not have the ability of architecture with the materials of the central plateau of Iran, so they first got many help from Muslim architects, until they themselves became master craftsmen of Iranian clay and tiles. The architecture of the churches shined with the Armenian charm and Iranian appearance like a gem in Isfahan. The churches of Armenia are in the form of single nave churches, basilicas, single nave dome churches, four-column domed basilicas, full cruciform, radiating style, cruciform, centripetal plan and monastery complexes in the central plateau of Iran. All of them are built in the form of a monastery complex with the plan of a basilica with a four-column dome. Armenian churches were not domed on the facade, or their domes were conical, which is seen in Iranian churches in the form of Iranian domes. Manuscript profile

        Content and procedures: Through an analytical study, twelve samples from the sewage water of Mobarake Steel Company taken 1392 have been studied and the level of pollutants in them identified and analyzed. The treatment method and technology used for these samples has also been studied and based on the study a new process with more prevalent technology (BAT) has been recommended. The findings and analyzed using the SPSS software and the pollutant levels compared to the allowed standards. Findings and results: According to the results of the BOD&shy;&shy;&shy;5&shy; testing and the temperature of the twelve comparison, the levels of manganese and phosphate contain the highest amounts of controlled substances, in particular in one third of the samples (4 out of the 12) the level of these two substances was higher than the permitted level. Also the nitrite and iron levels in one fourth of the samples (3 out of 12) were higher than the permitted level. The levels of the BOD, pH and TDS in one sixth of the samples (2 out of 12) were also higher than the permitted level. Given the scarcity of water in Esfahan and the agriculture fields in close vicinity of Esfahan&rsquo;s Steel Company, the use of the sewage water from the steel industry is unavoidable and considering the number of samples with higher than standard levels of unpermitted substances, the use of the exit sewage water for agricultural purposes with the current standards should not be permitted and it is necessary to upgrade the treatment facilities of this company.

        The aged population is growing rapidly. The course of changes in care for the aged has moved from large families to care spaces. Due to their function, care spaces for the aged inherently bring negative feelings such as feelings of separation and lack of affection to the aged. The poor design of these spaces, without considering the physical and mental needs of the aged, has intensified these effects. The primary goal of this study is to determine the physical factors that are effective in improving the subjective dimension of the quality of aged care spaces. The design of this study is combined and its strategy in the qualitative section is descriptive-analytical and field and survey in the quantitative section in terms of data collection. Thus, the opinions of the aged about the characteristics of high-quality indoor spaces were analyzed by the confirmatory factor analysis method in the SPSS software. Also, to examine and compare the components, a Student's t-test was used. The results showed that based on the opinions of the aged and theoretical studies, the subjective dimension of the quality of care spaces is related to four main themes, including the sense of belonging, legibility, visual proportions, safety, and security. According to the results of this study, the obtained themes indicate that dealing with physical components by creating visual attractions, satisfaction, spatial arrangement, and safety standards can make the space important for the aged and increase the quality of the care space. The opinions of the aged confirm the interactive approach and subjective understanding of the space, which determines the effective components of the subjective dimension of architectural quality.

        In order to study the effects of sowing dates on some morphological and phenological characteristics and yield of safflower (Carthamus tinctorious L.) cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in Azad University of Birjand Research Farm during growing season of 2006-2007. The experiment was done as split plot based on completely randomized block design with three replications. In this study four sowing dates (15 Oct, 30 Oct, 15 Nov, 30 Nov) were used as main plots and three varieties (local Isfahan, Zarghan and LRV) were as sub plot. Results showed that, plant height, number of branches per plant and height of first flowering branch from ground level, were affected significantly by sowing date. Also, effect of sowing dates on duration of seed emergence, stem elongation, blooming, flowering and ripening was significant. With delay in sowing date, duration of all phenological period decreased. Maximum grain yield (1209kg/ha) was obtained in the first sowing date and when delay to 30 Nov, grian yield decreased about 56.5 percentage. Effect of cultivar on some traits such as plant height, number of branches, height of first flowering branch from ground level and grain yield was significant. Duration of seed emergence was affected significantly by cultivar. Interaction effects between sowing date and cultivar were significant for all traits, except duration of plant height, number of branches per plant, seed emergence, blooming and ripening. According to these results, maximum grain yield obtained from 15 Oct sowing date and LRV cultivar. Manuscript profile

        Toxoplasma gondii is a common pathogen in humans and animals which can infect humans through the food sources. The consumption of mutton is more popular than other sources of animal protein in Iran. Since the sheep heart is usually eaten half-cooked and grilled, the transmission of toxoplasmosis occurs more often through the consumption of sheep heart. On the other hand, because the density of parasitic cysts in the brain and heart tissue is higher than other oral organs, sheep heart samples were used in this study. In the recent study, to detect toxoplasma in sheep heart slaughtered in Isfahan, 250 heart samples were collected from different sexes and ages in different seasons over the course of one year. After extracting the parasite genome, two pairs of primers related to B1 gene were amplified by nested PCR method. The results showed that 78% of the samples were generally infected with toxoplasma. In this study, there was no significant relationship between infection percentage and age and sex, but infection rate in cold seasons was significantly higher than in the warm seasons. Since the factors such as high humidity and low-temperature help to oocysts' survival, long exposure with toxoplasma oocysts can increase the sheep infection rate in the cold season. By considering the importance of this disease in sheep deaths and abortions and the importance of public health, appropriate control programs to prevent this zoonotic disease at the provincial level should be included in veterinary policies.

        The &ldquo;self" and "other" are hostile interpretation that in political and intercultural studies lead to the separation between different communities and identities. In Laclau E and Mouff C's Discourse theory, this concept has been interpreted by specific constraints, as the engines that drive a discourse, they show the inevitability of the function of resistance and hostility. The search for these two concepts in James Morier's novel is a central theme of this article. Especially that according to the author's oriental viewpoint of Iranian society (external look), this book points to considerable contexts in judging and culturing an alien image of Iranian culture and relationships.In this article, after defining and interpreting of "self" and "other", the position and importance of "The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Isfahan" are mentioned as an entry on study of Iranian political and social morals and ethics. After discussing these two topics, the different sides and proportions of "self" and "other" were extracted from the book and according to discursive approach, some of the exaggerations and attributions of this allegorical-fantasy story were evaluated by the actions and morals of the Iranians of the Qajar era. The results that explain intensification of some "self" and "other" and deepening hostile relationships in the form of this book, Representing these contradictions, while pointing to gap in cross-cultural understanding, has emphasized the need to cross over the concepts in the book and more accuracy in readout.

        The purpose of the present study was to explore and present a systematic data-based model for enhancing social capital in the Sports and Youth Departments of Isfahan Province. The nature of exploratory research falls into the category of applied research. The statistical population of the study included all experts in the field of sports management and senior executives of the province's sports management; in fact, were considered as the statistical population of the study. For sampling, purposeful sampling and snowballing techniques were used for the interviews, and the data were theoretically saturated after 11 interviews. For data collection, a semi-structured interview was used. The criteria of Skinner et al. were used to measure the validity of the data, and re-test reliability method was used to measure reliability. Because of the novelty of the research and the possible limitations of the data, the triangulation approach was generally used for data collection. The data analysis process was based on three stages of open, axial, and selective coding, and software Maxqda version 12 was used for this purpose. The results showed that sub-codes (concepts) of causal conditions included interpersonal and individual factors, attitudes and values, social cooperation and institutional trust; phenomenon-based sub-codes included cognitive and structural factors; sub-codes of contextual conditions included case management, individual satisfaction, meritocracy, training, and self-esteem; sub-codes of intervening conditions included respect for actions, structural and behavioral barriers, and social anomie; sub-codes of strategies included empowerment, reengineering of structure, monitoring and supervision, support; and finally, sub-codes of the outcomes included knowledge management, group and individual efficiency, and social belonging. The results showed that the pattern of social capital promotion depends on different conditions and if these conditions are available in the sports and youth departments of Isfahan province, we can expect social capital to be promoted. Based on the data theory of the foundation and the systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin, it was determined that these conditions are subject to causal, contextual and interventional conditions. In addition, it was determined that in order to promote social capital, it is necessary to adopt appropriate strategies to use them to achieve the desired and expected results. Manuscript profile

        Identifying the critical time and timing of plant irrigation based on a precise and basic plan is the key to water conservation, improvement of irrigation operations and plant tolerance to water shortage in agriculture. In recent years, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in many plants to deal with dehydration and drought stress. In this regard, an experiment was conducted as split-plot in the form of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Yasuj region at years 2015 and 2016. Water stress was considered as the main factor in the form of irrigation after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of evaporation from the evaporation pan class A and mycorrhizal fungus was considered as a secondary factor in the form of no application, application of Glomus mosseae and application of Glomus intraradices. The results showed that the interaction of irrigation and mycorrhizal fungi on flower phosphorus, flower yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage was significant. In irrigation levels after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan, the use of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices compared to the absence of fungi respectively increased the yield of plant flowers (30.04% and 27.35 %), (90.2% and 90.98%), (93.21% and 94.1%) and (81.73% and 78.86%), also, at these levels of irrigation, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage flower achieved a significant increase in the presence of mycorrhizal fungus, compared to the absence of mycorrhizal fungus application. Application of both strains of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices in irrigation levels after 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan compared to no application of mycorrhizal fungus, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in the harvest index of Borage flower (44.55% and 43.36%), (13.21% and 15.96%) and (5.6% and 5.41%) and flower phosphorus (44.69% and 20.45%), (150% and 125%) and ( 267.74% and 235.48%). Mycorrhizal fungus was able to moderate the negative effects of drought stress and increase the above-mentioned traits in those irrigation levels, and based on the results of this study, irrigation treatment after 90 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan + the use of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizal fungi is recommended.

        Abstract The present study aims was to determine the relationship between perception of authentic leadership and deviant behaviors among employees of education organization of Isfahan city through descriptive - correlation research method. The population in this study includes all employees of education organization, i.e. 663 people. On the basis of Cochran&rsquo;s sample size, 243 individuals are selected through stratified random sampling method as the sample of study. To collect the required data, Walumbwa et al.&rsquo;s (2008) questionnaire of authentic leadership and Bennett and Robinson&rsquo;s (2000) questionnaire of deviant behaviors were used. Reliability of the questionnaire of authentic leadership turned out to be .85 and reliability of the questionnaire of deviant behaviors turned out to be .73 using Cronbach's alpha. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient, stepwise regression and analysis of variance. The results showed that there was a significant reverse relationship between authentic leadership (p &lt; .01, r = -.285), components of relational transparency (p &lt; .01, r = -.226), internalized moral perspective (p &lt; .05, r = -.160), and balanced processing (p &lt; .01, r = -.196) with deviant behaviors. Also, from among the components of authentic leadership, relational transparency, balanced processing, and internalized moral perspectives were able to predict staff&rsquo;s deviant behaviors, respectively. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the scores of authentic leadership and deviant behaviors in terms of gender and age. The difference between the scores of deviant behaviors in terms of years of service wasn't significant, but the difference between the scores of authentic leadership in terms of years of service was significant. In addition, the results showed that there were significant differences between the scores of authentic leadership of staff with a working experience of less than 10 years, 10 to 20 years, and more than 20 years.
