        1 - A Comparative Study of the Liability for the Profits Derived from Usurped Property ‎in the Islamic Law
        Akbar Ahmadi

        The issue of the liability of the usurper in respect of the profits derived from ‎the usurped property has long been a bone of contention among Muslim jurists. Differences of opinion among the Islamic jurists, and the variety and ‎insufficiency of the previous arguments are the reasons for ‎writing this article. On this issue, Abu Hanifa and his early followers believe that the usurper is by no means liable for the profits derived from the usurped property. ‎Malik b. Anas also believes that the usurper shall not be liable in the case of not using. The Shafi'iyya, the Shi'a and the Hanbali, however, believe that the usurper shall be ‎liable whether or not he derives benefit from the property. ‎The inaccuracy of applying usurpation to profits, the opinion that profits are not capable of being owned (property), the tradition of Al-kharaj bial-ziman (profits against ‎liability), and deductive analogy ‎(qiyas) form the basis of the arguments posed by the jurists who believe in the non-liability of the ‎usurper.‎ On the other hand, assessment of profits, profits being customarily considered as capable of being owned (property), the rule of the sanctity of Muslim property, the permission to similar transgression, accuracy of applying usurpation to profits, the conduct of the wise and the ‎liability for the forfeiture resulting therefrom, the rule of “no harm” (la zarar) in addition to ‎authentic traditions and consensus among the jurists are the most important arguments by the jurists who believe in the liability of the usurper for the profits derived from the usurped property provided that profits are capable of being bartered in a rent contract.

        Introduction and purpose: Urbanization growth and the emergence of the metropolitan phenomenon caused several problems which include the transportation system and traffic. One solution to the above-mentioned problems proposed by urban researchers has been the construction of underpasses in cities. In the past few years, in Valiasr intersection areas in Tehran, similar problems of traffic congestion have been prevalent, making transportation and travelling difficult. Indeed, the construction of Valiasr underpasses wiped out some of the problems. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of this underpass and its relationship to sustainability. Method: The research adopted descriptive-analytical methodology with the aim of being practical and developmental. Data were collected in two ways: library research and field studies. Field data were based on a sample size of 200 questionnaires. The garnered data were entered into SPSS software. For the analysis, in addition to descriptive statistics, Pearson test and ANOVA were used Findings: The obtained results showed that the performance was above average and the underpass in intersection of Valiasr with 7 indicators of traffic. Furthermore, the relationship between performance and sustainability was shown to be meaningful and significant (P>. 05). This also shows the regression relationship between indicators of performance and sustainability in one way ANOVA table Conclusion: Valiasr Intersection underpass can be considered as a successful urban project though there are some defects, the most important of which is why fellow citizens pass underground while automobiles move over the ground. However, this project was an inevitable response to existing problems and has been successful so far. Finally, in order to increase the efficiency of the underpass, some suggestions such as constructing elevators for the disabled or special individuals have been made Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Although urbanization is often discussed in the context of economic modernization, however, it is a demographic indicator that increases urban density and transforms the organization of human behavior and thereby influences household energy use patterns. Accordingly, using panel data approach and STIRPAT mode, this study examines the effect of urbanization on carbon dioxide emission in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation member states. Methods: This research is doing a causal-analysis by using panel data over the period of 2000 to 2010 for the 4-3 selected Organization of Islamic Cooperation countries. Findings: Our results indicate that, coefficient of all variable of the model has been expected based on theoretical and are statistically significant. So that, one percent increase in urbanization, Gross Domestic Product per capita and energy intensity, rises carbon dioxide emissions  by 0.57, 0.74 and 0.55 percent  respectively. Discussion and Conclusion: Given the positive impact of urbanization, Gross Domestic Product per capita and energy intensity variables on carbon dioxide emissions, it is recommended that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation members, reduce air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions through optimizing energy consumption and increasing the usage of new energy source, that generate less pollution and efficient energy consumption in the production and promotion of production energy and technology distribution in countries, realization the price of energy, promotion the technical and environmental standards of industrial production, increasing energy efficiency and expanding environment cultural and providing appropriate substrates and rural development.

        Background and Objective: Population size and composition are the most important factors affecting the quality of the environment. Empirical studies of the impact of demographic factors on pollution emissions have very different results. Identifying the impact of these variables on the quality of environment, can play a significant role in formulation and adoption of policies and environmental regulations. Method: Using econometric analysis, STRIPAT model and carbon dioxide emissions data among the D8 group from 1995 to 2010, the impact of demographic variables such as population size, age of population, urbanization and concentration of population and also the impact of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on carbon dioxide emissions have been examined in this study. Results: The results indicate that the population size and concentration of population, have no significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, the population aged between 15 to 64 years, urbanization, and per capita real income, respectively indicating the greatest impact on carbon dioxide emissions among D8member states. Conclusion:High rate of emissions related to the population raging from 15 to 64 years old in our society is important, because age distribution of the population in this age range has become more concenterated. Since this age range has a high proportion of production, economic growth and energy consumption, it has a high impact on CO2 emissions. Therefore, the environmental damage by users should be reduced to the lowest level through some measurments such as cultural environmental training and energy efficiency increase.     Manuscript profile

        A cause of economic reasons the cotton surface decreases and cotton planting trend to after autumn productions. To reduce time and cost of production, cotton cultivation without tillage was recommended. However, in this method management of diseases was important. Verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium dahliae, was one of the most important factors limiting crop cultivars and susceptible to the disease. This study carried out to investigate the effect of no tillage method on cotton Verticillium wilt in randomized complete block design with four replications and natural infection of the pathogen (Verticillium dahliae) in three years. The main plot was tillage (moldboard plow+disk, chisel+disk, disk and no tillage) and three cotton cultivars contain Shirpan, Armaghan and T3 considered as a sub plot. The results show that applying different tillage methods did not have significant effect on the index Verticillium wilt. With respect to the results, in no tillage system after wheat harvesting could applied T3 cultivar whose relatively earliness and more tolerant to Verticillium wilt with good performance.

        Economic Injury Level (EIL) of cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera Hb. was evaluated on Sahel variety in Gorgan, Iran during 1999-2000. Infestation levels of 0, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 neonate larvae per 100 reproductive organs were studied in three generations of the pest by releasing them on cotton plants in the field. Statistically significant differences between treatments were observed in all generations. In the first generation, infestation level of 8%, in the second and third gernerations, infestation levels of 4, 6 and 8% caused significant reduction in yield (p≤0.05). Reduction yields for infestation level of 8% in the first-generation was 13.94%, in the second generation the infestation levels of 4, 6 and 8% were 9.8, 16.77 and 22% respectively, and in the same infestation levels in the third generation were 8.25, 14.85 and 19.17%. Linear regression between the cotton yield and pest density was obtained in different generations. Considering the total cost of chemical control operations and cost of yield, the economic injury level of the pest for the first, second and third generations were 1.19, 0.66 and 0.79 neonate larvae per 100 reproductive organs respectively, which is equal to 22.25, 15.77 and 21.33 neonate larvae per 100 cotton plants, respectively.

        West Carpathian Mesozoic paleogeographic development indicates the effect of a left lateral shift of the Alpine- Carpathian microcontinent along the European shelf since the Early Jurassic. The evolution during Late Triassic/Early Jurassic was controlled by convergence along the border of the Meliata Ocean and by contemporaneous divergence along the Middle Atlantic/Penninic rift. During Mid-Cretaceous, the convergence between Africa and Paleoeurope started, which finally resulted in collision of Alpine-West Carpathian microcontinent with the Paleoeuropean margin and in the formation of the Alpine Orogen.

        Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram-positive, sporulate, soil-borne, aerobic and rod-shape bacteria which is the most important microbial control agent for agricultural pests such as Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Diptera. Effective control of these pests is based on finding and applying the native isolates of each country or region. The first step as the basic for research on Bt, is isolation of native strains and keeping of them as a gene bank of this bacteria. In this research, 24 samples of forest soils in different regions of Golestan province were screened using the method of selective Sodium acetate and 60 numbers isolates of obtained Bt. Initial soil samples were cultured on LBA medium culture and the initial selection of colonies were performed based on morphological shapes of Bt colonies on medium culture and final selection based on microscopical identification of their crystal proteins. In microscopical study, the most of isolates were formed bipyramidal (56/6 %). Then, Bioassay of these native strains on the third age of Helicoverpa armiger larvae was studied. The results of Bioassay evaluation showed that these isolates have significant toxicity effect on these larvae and showed about 55-80 percent mortality. Generally, the results of this research showed that the forest soils are a suitable source for finding effective isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis. Manuscript profile

        Helicoverpa armigera is one of the most important tobacco pests in all over the world. Today, due to the problems of using chemical pesticides such as environmental pollution and endangering the health of humans and other organisms, high costs and the problems of pest resistance, has led to more attention to use of IPM method and important biological control agents such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV). In this research, the interaction effects of combined use of 5 superior Bt isolates and one superior NPV isolate that in previous research of authors, were isolated from different parts of the northern of Iran, the investigation was conducted by combining two concentrations of Bt (2 × 107 – 1 × 107 spore/ml) and two concentrations of NPV (103 – 104 POB/ml). The mortality of 2th larvae of H. armigera was compared among the pathogen treatments on a completely randomized factorial design with 20 treatments and 3 replications under laboratory conditions in plant protection department of Tirtash Research and Education Center through 2016. The results showed that Bt isolates (12, 73, 72, 50) with (2 × 107 spore/ml) concentration in combination with NPV (104 POB/ml) had the most lethal effect, so that on 7 and 14 days after treatment, they had 100% lethal effects. The lowest mortality related to Bt-58 with (1 × 107 spore/ml) in combination with NPV (103 POB/ml), which on the 4Th. day after applying the treatment, it caused only 42/2% mortality. LC50 of superior isolate (Bt-72) was equal to 7 × 106 spore/ml and superior isolate (NPV-10) was equal to 8/1 × 104 POB/ml. The results revealed that 1 × 107 spore/ml concentration of Bt in combination with both two NPV concentrations and also Bt (2 × 107 spore/ml) in combination with 104 POB/ml showed Additive effects. Synergistic interaction effects were observed in combination of the highest concentration of Bt (2 × 107 spore/ml) and the lowest concentration of NPV (103 POB/ml). Generally, the results of this research showed that the combination of (Bt + NPV) leads to increase their pathogenicity and mortality. Manuscript profile

Wheat flour bread was prepared as a control.Results: The HPLC result showed higher values of gallic acid (1806.68 µg/100 g), p-coumaric acid (104.49 µg/100 g) and quercetin (22054.67 µg/100 g) in SSF bread while sinapic acid (195.88 µg/100 g), caffeic acid (1372.90 µg/100 g), ferulic acid (535.79 µg/100 g) were higher in control bread. Ferric-reducing antioxidant properties and mineral contents (Zinc, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn and copper) were higher in SSF in comparison to control bread (P<0.05). The SSF bread had higher resistant starch and slowly digestible starch values but decreased total starch and rapidly digestible starch values. The in vitro starch digestibility (IVSD) value was also 0.54 times lower in SSF compared to control bread. The α-amylase inhibitory potential of SSF bread (56.77%) was significantly higher (P<0.05) in comparison to control bread (29.96%). It could be concluded that the incorporation of Sphenostylis stenocarpa in baked products such as bread will be of high nutritional benefits to humans.Recommended applications/industries: Sphenostylis stenocarpa is an underutilized bean that is rich in minerals, antioxidant properties and slow starch digestion potency which can be explored to prevent or manage the pathologic conditions that are related to sugar metabolisms. The utilization of underutilized Sphenostylis stenocarpa will go a long way in combating food insecurity. Manuscript profile

        Background & Aim:Indigenous people of West Africa use the whole-leaf of Desplatsia subericarpa (Bocq) in anti-diabetic soup delicacy. This study was designed to validate the anti-diabetic claims and delineating possible mechanisms. Experimental:RT-PCR method was used to investigate regulation of intestinal glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and pancreatic insulin, L-type voltage-gated calcium channel genes. Insulin exocytosis was also monitored using ELISA method. The kidney sample was investigated for biomarkers of injury (kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and interleukin-1-β (IL-1β)). Results: GLP-1 up-regulation, GLUT2 down-regulation and increased insulin exocytosis but not increased insulin gene expression was observed in animals after a 3-day culinary exposure to D. Subericarpa leaves. This mechanism may explain hypoglycemia in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in animals in this study. KIM-1 and IL-1-β genes were marked up regulated in normal animals exposed (14-day) to D. Subericarpa. Recommended applications/industries: D. Subericarpa whole leaf contains phytochemicals principles with anti-diabetic potency but may be nephrotoxic. Therefore, for clinical use, selective fractionation of active components from the toxic components is desirable.  Manuscript profile

        In this article, we investigate a new continuous linear model with constraints for the direct selection of the most efficient unit in the analysis of data coverage presented by Akhlaghi et al. (2021) on uncertainty robust optimization. Considering the importance of incorporating uncertainty into performance evaluation models in the real world and its increasing application in various problems, we propose a robust optimization approach. Given the discrete and non-convex nature of the introduced models for selecting the most efficient decision-making unit, examining the dual and finding an optimistic scenario is practically impossible. Therefore, by utilizing the linear model presented by Akhlaghi et al. (2021) with constraints for identifying the most efficient unit, we can investigate the robustness of the desired model using(BS )Bertsimas and Sim's (2004) robust estimation method while also considering uncertainty. We aim to demonstrate that employing a robust formulation leads to reliable performance in uncertain conditions Manuscript profile

        The current research was conducted with the aim of providing a model of internal organizational factors affecting the implementation of the talent management model (case study of Iran Khodro Industrial Group). The research method is in terms of applied-developmental purpose, in terms of descriptive-survey collection method, in terms of cross-sectional time, and in terms of the nature of data collection, it is mixed (qualitative-quantitative). Semi-structured interviews were used in the qualitative part and researcher-made questionnaires in the quantitative part to collect information. The statistical population in the qualitative part included experts and managers of the middle and large departments of Iran Khodro Industrial Group, and in the quantitative part it included employees, experts and middle managers of Iran Khodro Industrial Group in the number of 1500 people. The sample size was 15 people in the qualitative section andbased on Cochran's formula 306 people in the quantitative section , which were selected based on the purposeful (judgmental) sampling method and cluster sampling, respectively. The findings showed that four internal organizational factors including talent attraction, talent evaluation and discovery, talent development and training, and talent retention have an effect on the implementation of talent management. In attracting talent, three components were identified in the order of priority, including recruitment, selection and recruitment. In the assessment and talent discovery dimension, the performance management component and evaluation centers were introduced. In the dimension of talent development and training, two components of career management and development and training, and in the dimension of talent retention, two components of discipline and service compensation were identified and prioritized.Key words: Talent management, talent attraction, talent retention, Iran Khodro Industrial Group.

        In this paper, cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method. The properties and characteristics of the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were studied using XRD, VSM, and FESEM analyses. The FESEM images showed that the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles had almost spherical morphology, and that the particle size distribution (determined with the help of Digimizer software) was in the range of 25–60 nm. Moreover, the average size of the nanoparticles was calculated to be in the range of 37-47 nm. The VSM results indicated superparamagnetic properties of the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles at room temperature. Besides, the saturation magnetization and coercivity were found to be 30 emu/g and 39 Oe, respectively. The specific loss power (SLP) was investigated by preparing ferrofluid concentrations of 3, 5, and 8 mg/ml under a magnetic field of 400 Oe and at a frequency of 400 kHz. In this case, the rate of the increase in temperature of the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was measured in a certain period of time, and the related SLP was calculated. The results of the measurements showed that the highest rate of the heat generation occured at the concentration of 8 mg/ml, leading to an SLP value of 162 W/g. Manuscript profile

        The present study aimed to test psychometric properties of the Young Children's Appraisals of Interparental Conflict Scale (CPIC-Y; McDonald &Grych, 2006) among students  between the ages of 9 and 11. One hundred and sixty two elementary school students (104 boys, 54 girls) completed the Young Children's Appraisals of Interparental Conflict Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y; Beck, Beck, Jolly & Steer, 2005). The confirmatory factor analysis method and internal consistency were used to investigate the CPIC-Y factorial validity and internal consistency, respectively. The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported three-factor structure of conflict properties, threat, and self-blame. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that multidimensional structure of CPIC-Y was an acceptable measurement model. The significant positive correlations of all three CPIC-Y scales with depression provided support for the CPIC-Y convergent validity. Internal consistencies of the CPIC-Y scales were good. The findings suggested that CPIC-Y was an appropriate measure for assessing specific dimensions of interparental conflict in a sample of Iranian children.   Manuscript profile

        Theory of severe encounter with the usurper causes the rules of the usurped institution to be considered strict, while in other sources there is no such civil liability. This attitude and the lack of need for harm and causation, has caused most lawyers to analyze the rules governing this institution apart from the general rules of civil liability. In this article, an attempt has been made to invalidate the fegh attitude and pay attention to the structure of the civil law, and to prove the impossibility of this separation. It seems that the difference between dealing with the usurper and other sources of civil liability is not due to a difference in the nature or rules of this institution, but to an imperfect view of the concept of financial guarantee in jurisprudence. Guarantee in jurisprudence means creating an obligation against another, the guarantee of its implementation is crystallized in three longitudinal forms of equal return, retribution and payment of price. In law, however, the concept of civil liability, which is equivalent to the term guarantee, is merely narrow to the third form, the obligation to pay damages. This self-made constraint in the concept has led to the impossibility of applying the rules and pillars of the usurpation institution to the general pillars of the guarantee and its severity Manuscript profile

        Although the principle necessarily is that the legal subjects´ assets to be protected; but today, we see that due to different reasons some gap intervenes between an owner and their assets. Examples for this issue are usurpation and also delivery by an invalid contract. There is no doubt about the requirement of recovering or substituting a property usurped or delivered by an invalid contract. Also, there is little doubt about the guarantee for the received benefits. But, regarding the fact that whether it is feasible for the unused benefits to be realized or not, we see a diversity of comments, i.e., we see that the law falls silent about these issues, and there is a diversity of jurisprudential rules along with lack of comprehensiveness of subjects, therefore, the necessity of the present research becomes justified. Thus, by descriptive-analytical methods, the present research tried to review and analyze the jurisprudents´ and lawyers´ positions regarding realization of unused benefits claims in an invalid contract. The results showed that the issue in Islamic jurisprudence has been a disputed issue since the past, although, by adducing evidences such as the rule of presumption of possession, consensus, and rule of equality of rules received for an invalid contract with usurped institution, accepting the rule of liability for unused benefits in an invalid contract seems to be reasonable; moreover, from the legal perspective, although civil code provides no expressed rule on unused benefits in invalid contracts, by correct interpretation of the available rules, it can be ruled for liability for unused benefits.

        Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), an entrapment of the median nerve at the wrist, is the most commonly encountered neuropathy causing disability. The aim of this study is to compare age, gender, high body mass index (BMI), wrist circumference, occupation, computer use, and other systemic factors in CTS patients with controls.                                                                                                                                                 Methods: We performed a case–control study with 100 CTS and cases 100 controls In a six months period during 2014. Patients were selected from those referred to nerve conduction studies and electromyography in university hospitals of Islamic Azad Universty of Mashhad. Patients were excluded if they had a history of cigarette smoking, addiction,  alcohol, diabetes mellitus, or other known systemic diseases such as hypertension, amyloidosis or rheumatoid arthritis. Age, sex, occupation, history of trauma to the wrist and forearm, pregnancy, wrist circumference, and computer work were asked by one researcher in all cases and study groups. Data were analysed by SPSS ver, 18 by Chi-square test or T-test.   Result: The mean age was greater in the case group than in the control (49.8+15.1 ver 37.0+14.5 years, P=0.0001). The mean BMI was 29.0+4.2 kg/m2 in case group whereas it was 23.2+2.8 kg/m2 in the case group (P=0.00001). There was no significant differece between two groups  in terms of gender (P=0.202). 66.7% of retirees and 57.4% of housewives had carpal tunnel syndrom. Analysis showed wrist circumference was higher in case group (16.8+1.3 cm ver 16.4+1.4, P=0.036) and also patients had more steroid usage (P=0.004), but history of trauma to the wrist and forearm was not significantly associated with CTS.   Conclusions: Our study confirms thatobesity, age and wrist circumference, steroid usage, and occupation have more incidence in CTS in comparision to the normal population.   Manuscript profile

        A seven month male Boxer dog, 15 kg body weighting has been referred to private small animal clinic with left forelimb palmigrade stance. The history of trauma was not reported and patient also did not suffer from any systemic disease. Left forelimb (lateral view) stress radiograph was shown hyperextension at the antebrachiocarpal joint. Then based on history and clinical examination surgical treatment of pancarpal arthrodesis was performed. The postoperative care was antibiotic administration and limb was supported in a cylinder cast at least for 8 weeks. The hyperextension of the carpus is the serious injury to the canine carpus and pancarpal arthrodesis involves surgical fusion of all joint levels. This has been a satisfactory limb sparing procedure in comparison to limb amputation.   Manuscript profile
