The aim of the current research is to qualitatively analyze articles in the field of viral advertising and to identify and determine the ranking of indicators in the field of social health. Methods: In this study, with a systematic review and according to the PRISMA guidelines, the articles published in the field of viral marketing during the period from 2001 to 2022 were investigated in the Wos database, and the data were guided by using qualitative content analysis. Then, using fuzzy screening, the effective indicators were identified and prioritized using the fuzzy method. Results: By analyzing the qualitative content of the selected articles, 26 indicators were extracted and using the fuzzy screening method, 17 indicators were identified as effective indicators and prioritized by the fuzzy method. Conclusion: The social health field is constantly looking for ways to adapt to new technologies. Therefore, the principled and correct use of viral advertisements can be considered as a new perspective in the field of social health. The results of the research showed that among the 17 confirmed indicators, information, creativity, source reliability, innovation in the message, and accessibility are more in order than capacity and indicators of message specialization, fantasy, social stimulus, interactivity, and perceived intention. The source of the least capacity can have significant improvement and growth of social health. Manuscript profile -

Hatami is one of the most influential characters in Iranian cinema whose unique narratives and dialogues in his scripts are unparalleled in the history of Iranian cinema. But it is unique. To the extent that even some of the dialogues and monologues of his works have become proverbs, and clearly the traces of unique dialogues of his works should be searched in the field of Iranian classical literature. In order to solve the problem and achieve its goal, with a descriptive-analytical method, the literature of Hatami's thousand-hand dialogues has been examined from two aspects: firstly, the aspects of the author's use of rhetorical and aesthetic literary techniques have been studied, and on the other hand, using the theory of intertextuality Borrowing aspects of this work from classical literature have been analyzed. The results of the present research show that, first of all, the literature of the dialogue-oriented text of Hazar Dastan is due to the author's benefit from all kinds of verbal and spiritual literary techniques; It is like a metaphor/animation, simile, irony, alliteration, sarcasm and pun. In the next stage, it was found that Hazardastan is connected with the treasure of Iranian literature using explicit and implicit intertextuality. Manuscript profile -

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

The resistance of this plant to cold is low. Considering the sensitivity of sugarcane to cold, in order to identify the pathways and genes by differential expression in sugarcane cultivars during cold stress and employ them in sugarcane plant breeding programs, 454 sugarcanes were investigated using morphological and biochemical indices, in the Research Farm of Khuzestan Sugarcane Research Institute following the incidence of -1.2 ℃ temperature in the region in December 2015. In the first stage, the cold-tolerant or sensitive cultivars were selected using morphological indices. In the second stage, biochemical indices such as proline and malondialdehyde were measured in the tolerant cultivars (selected at the first stage) after a cold stress period in 2016, which showed increases in comparison with susceptible cultivars. According to the data obtained at the two stages, two cultivars, namely BR00-01 and TUC66-107, were identified as the most tolerant and sensitive to cold, respectively. Based on the results of morphological studies, the cultivars with a higher tolerance to cold stress were also hose with higher proline and MDA levels in the biochemical study stage compared with the sensitive cultivars. There was also a high correlation between morphological traits and biochemical indicators in terms of cold resistance. Therefore, by measuring morphological and biochemical indices, it is possible to determine to a large extent the type of reaction of a sugarcane cultivar to cold stress before doing molecular analysis and spending huge sums of money, and to select superior clones when sifting sugarcane clones at different breeding stages.

It is therefore essential to make assessments based on reliable indicators to ensure that an agricultural system remains not only productive, but also ecologically sound. A large area of arable land in Guilan province is devoted to rice cultivation so the transition to environmentally sound agricultural practice in paddy fields of the province is an important strategy. The main purpose of this study was to present a new and comprehensive framework for assessing environmentally sound agricultural practice applicable to the paddy fields in Guilan Province. A review of the relevant literature identified environmentally sound indicators that had been used by researchers in recent years. Then some parameters were introduced for examination and prioritization. The proposed structural model includes seven factors and 21 indicators. The target population included university faculty members and researchers who were familiar with the concepts of agricultural sustainability and that were familiar with the Guilan paddy fields. A structural on-line questionnaire was the main instrument used to gather information. Based on experts’ points of view, the coefficient of significance for each of the selected indicators was measured using the Yager fuzzy screening method. The results obtained from structured questionnaires showed that 20 of the 21 indicators were appropriate for assessing environmentally sustainable agriculture. Manuscript profile -

For this purpose, controlling the risk of such diseases can prevent or reduce their incidence. The present study aimed at using Markov decision processes (MDP) to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease. For this purpose, model inputs were first determined using a validated micro-simulation model for screening cardiovascular disease developed at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran using genetic algorithm. The model input factors were then defined accordingly and using these inputs, three risk estimation models were identified. The results of these models support World Health Organization guidelines that provide medicine with high discount to patients with high expected Life Years. Finally, conflicts are usually observed in the risk models determining the likelihood of complications. Hence, to develop Markov Decision Processes methodology, policies should be adopted that work well despite the difference between the risk model and the actual risk. Manuscript profile -

The aim of the present article is to analyze "the myth of sacrifice" in the screenplays and plays of Bahram Beyzai. Beyzai has an extensive knowledge about myths and has used a variety of them to write his literary works. In his writings, he has used "the myth of sacrifice" in two ways. First, throughout a story, he has explicitly spoken about the ritual of "myth of sacrifice" in various forms and for various purposes. Second, he has created screenplays or plays that "hero-sacrifice" is the main character of them. And sometimes, this creative writer uses both ways. In the present article, the play Kalat Claimed and screenplays The Tales of Mir-e Kafanpoush, The land, Talhak and the Others and The Scrolls of Sheikh Sharzin are analyzed. The results of the research show that Beyzai uses a variety of sacrifices, such as bloody-human, bloody-animal, and unbloody (drinks) sacrifices. In his narratives, he divides the purpose of sacrificing into three types: for atoning, for imploration and for thanksgiving. Also, "hero-sacrifice" has a significant presence in his works.

The present study aimed to produce and optimize the production of antioxidant compounds by Aspergillus strains.Materials & Methods: Fungi samples were collected from different regions of Isfahan province or obtained from the Persian Type Culture Collection. Purified fungi samples were inoculated to the Czapek medium to produce antioxidant compounds. Screening and comparison of antioxidant properties of the selected strains were carried out using four assays including free DPPH (Diphenyl pycryle-Hydrazyl) radical reduction, iron radical recovery, and total phenol content and flavonoid content assays. Fungi antioxidant activity was optimized in terms of pH, temperature, and type of carbon and nitrogen sources by single factor and detailed factorial (Taguchi) designed experiments.Results: The highest antioxidant activity was observed in Aspergillus niger isolated from the soil of the Iron melting factory and the highest amount of flavonoid content was shown by Aspergillus fumigatus isolated from greenhouse soil. DPPH radical reduction rate by Aspergillus niger was 89.9% in the optimum condition (pH 6, the temperature of 25°C, sucrose as carbon source and potassium nitrate as nitrogen source). Optimization by Taguchi designed experiments resulted in a 10-15 percent increase in antioxidant compounds production.Conclusion: Autochthonous isolated fungi had high potential to produce antioxidant compounds and can be proposed to related industries.

Due to carcinogenic ability of sunrays, protection of skin from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun by using an effective sunscreen is necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the sun protection factor (SPF) of the pigments obtained from Penicillium and Aspergillus fungi in absorption of ultraviolet radiation, in vitro. Materials and Methods: In this study, fungal strains were randomly isolated from air and soil. The fungal pigments were extracted using Water and DMSO solvents. Following a filtration step, these pigment solutions were powdered using lyophilization and drying in room temperature. After three time dilution steps, absorbance of each sample at 200-700nm wavelengths was measured by a spectrophotometer to evaluate SPF of these samples. Results: Among the species studied in this study, Aspergillus and Penicillium showed the highest absorption at 300 and 290 nm, respectively. These ability is equal to 272 and 140 sun protection factors, respectively, which was the best protective ability of these isolates from ultraviolet rays. Furthermore, the yellowish and black pigments showed the best UV absorption ability. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the pigments isolated from the fungus Penicillium and Aspergillus showed high protection against UV rays. Therefore, it is possible to replace chemical compounds used in cream sunscreen with these natural pigments. Manuscript profile -

He was one of many writers of the last hundred years and the top story writers in the forties. The stories of that decade reflect the spiritual failures of the intellectuals after the coup on August 19, 1953, and this theme can be seen in many of his writings. One of the most important features of that period was the censorship, ruling the space of writing stories and poems, which caused a group of writers to turn to playwriting and use its symbolic aspect to express their intentions and content. Saedi was also among these writers. He was one of the most successful writers in Iran's dramatic literature. The political themes of Saedi's works were more visible in his plays. According to the political conditions of the 1940s, the subject, and the content of his plays, he has expressed openly or mockingly and satirically issues such as tyranny and oppression, freedom of expression, land reform law, and the confrontation of people's poverty with the current of modernization. Three prominent intellectual cinema films of the years before the Islamic Revolution: Cow, Mina's circle, and Peace in the Presence of others, are taken from Saedi's stories. In addition to analyzing Saedi's works, it will highlight the influence of Saedi's works on the Iranian cinema of that period. To reveal his role and position in the intellectual cinema of the years before the revolution. Manuscript profile -

However, one cannot speak of fully establishing this pattern of bipolar order in the Middle East. And the Middle East regional order may change dramatically over the next ten years. The present study seeks to answer the main question of what the future scenarios of regional order in the Middle East will be like by 2030,and what is the favorable scenario for the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia under these patterns of regional order?In order to provide answers to the questions with a futuristic approach, the method of identifying and analyzing the impulses affecting the formation of regional order and identifying weak surprises and weak markers was used through interviewing experts using Mick Mac software. The research findings consistent with the effect of key drivers and analysis of power blockades in this region indicate that a wide range of scenarios can be proposed regarding the Middle East regional order,but the most desirable order for Iran is the hegemony of the revolutionary order and the most probable scenario for the Islamic Republic is the continuation of the balance of power scenario in this region. In contrast, the most favorable scenario for the pro-Western order is the hegemony of the Western-Salafi order and the most probable scenario for the pro-Western order is the continuation of the balance of power scenario.

Seeds to determine to what extend the transition process are affected by environmental factors and to what extent it is determined by genetic causes. Two different experiments were performed: The first on the basis of Augment series (because the genotypes were enormous) and the second based on the Randomized complete block design in three replications in two agriculturally potent areas with different climates in Ilam farms devoted to agricultural research. The results showed 85% of the genotypes had a similar behavior as to the transition of the four elements (Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn). Elements transition was proved to be controlled by genetic rather than environmental factors. Inclusion of Feso4, ZnSo4, CuSo4 and MnSo4 treatment increased elements transition in 15% of genotypes, and when the treatment ceased, the transition process according to the genetic potential of the genotypes. Improving the seeds with regard to their ash led to an increase in the transition of all the elements mentioned. The transition rate could be recorded as follows: Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe with Zn recording the highest and Fe the lowest amount of transition. The accumulation of the four elements in chickpea seed had a synergist effect with Cu and Zn enjoying the highest and of the four elements in chickpea seed had a synergist effect with Cu and Zn enjoying the highest synergist effect (78%). The mineral Content among the genotypes ranged from 4 to 34 percent which is considered to be wide range. Correlations between seed ash and seed weight, and seed weight, and seed ash and the summation of the ions were 84% and 51% respectively, being significant at 1% finally, the results of the two experiments showed that the 1-12/54721/D genotype was the most suitable genotype with regard to the Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn content and the amount of ash.

The experimental group performed functional training based on functional impairment for 4 weeks (3 sessions per week and 40 minutes each session) and the control group continued their normal activity. A paired t-test was used to test for within-group differences and covariance analysis was used to examine between-group differences at the significant level of 0.05. Paired t-test results showed a significant difference in all FMS tests in the post-test compared to the pre-test only in the experimental group (P <0.05). Also, the results of the covariance analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups in all variables (P <0.05). The scores of all variables in the experimental group were better than the control group. Results showed that four weeks of corrective exercises improved FMS test scores and improved functional impairments in resistant training athletes. Manuscript profile -

Arts such as theatre, cinema, painting, and music, yet in order for the story to be translated into screenplay it must have certain features which the most principal one is the pictorial quality of the literary tale in question since the image and the picture emanated from the poet’s or the author’s description is the most animated element which leads the spectator to understand time and place orientation. Hence employing descriptive analytic method attempt is made in this article to concentrate on the elements of “image” and “story” which are the most significant structural factors in the formation of the screenplay. This research also deals with the competence and capabilities of the Shahnameh stories to be turned into screenplay forms. For this reason the discussion is begun by defining terms such as picture whether epic or cinematic, story, and screenplay. Then the screenplay’s narrative structure which is more based on the pictorial and narrative elements such as scene, character, plot, theme, and dialogue is classified and described, finally by bringing examples from the Rostam and Esfandyar tale and correspondence of its structure with the structure of the screenplay together with giving examples of illustration in the tale the research comes to its end. The result of the search shows that Shahnameh Ferdowsi in particular the tale of Rostam and Esfandyar due to Ferdowsi’s accounts composed according to epic features is capable to go hand in hand with cinema. Hence in order to change into a cinematic screenplay Shahnameh could be investigated in terms of image, scenery and characterization. Manuscript profile -

A good screenplay needs a solid structure which is provided by the recognition of super models. Wellknown masters of three act screenplay are Syd Field, representative of story based structural pattern, and Christopher Vogler, representative of character based or hero’s journey structural pattern. Shapour Shahbazi is the only Iranian who has suggested a new solid pattern for screenplay. The purpose of this article is to compare and evaluate the structure of the story of Rostam and Shoghad with the above patterns and reveal that not only Shahnameh is worthy of being compared with leading patterns but also it possesses such dramatic and cinematic potential that in itself is a role model since the final criterion for the excellence and success of a story does not necessarily lie on its agreement with the accepted patterns and indeed is dependent on the durable presence and the influence on the audience. Nevertheless, mal recognition of the literary text and not applying the efficient artistic patterns to screenplay is the major reason for the misfortune of the adapted films in Iran.

This study was aimed to examine the factor structure, validity and reliability of the Youth Anxiety Measure for DSM-5 (YAM-5). In this descriptive study with factor analysis approach, 300 students aged 12 to 18 years old in Birjand were selected by cluster sampling method and were evaluated by using Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders- short form (SCARED-71). The results of the study showed that the internal validity of the part I I and part II of the Youth Anxiety Measure for DSM-5 (YAM-5) were in range of 0.71 to 0.90 and 0.65 to 0.91, respectively. The criterion validity of the scale by using Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders- short form (SCARED-71) showed that there is a significant positive correlation between the YAM-5 and components of SCARED-71, in a range of 0.12 to 0.74. Validity in the internal consistency showed that the correlation between each of the five components together that set in a range of 0.38 to 0.56 were lower than correlation between each of the five components and total score that set in a range of 0.69 to 0.83. According to the results of this study, the importance of measuring anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, the lack of suitable standardized tools in our country, and the validity and reliability of the Youth Anxiety Measure for DSM-5 (YAM-5), it is recommended to professionals and researchers to use this tool Manuscript profile -
