        Introduction: Cocoa milk is one of the most popular non-fermented dairy products, but due to its high levels of sucrose, it might cause diabetes and tooth decay in children. Due to the fact that today the tendency to consume natural foods is increasing with low calories and high shelf life, therefore, replacing sucrose with other sweeteners, especially natural ones, will be important. In this study, the aim is to optimize and achieve the highest percentage of viscosity and overall acceptance as well as reducing the amount of sedimentation and particle size that is one of the important quality indicators of cocoa milk in consumer acceptance.Materials and Methods: For this purpose, treatment was performed based on cocoa milk formulation and based on the highest level of response. Independent variables included inulin (2 to 8%), chia seed gum (0.1 to 0.5%), stevia (50 to 100%) and whey protein concentrate (1 to 3%) and response variables, consisting of viscosity, particle size, sediment percentage and overall acceptance were considered. The functional relationship between the parameters affecting the cocoa milk formulation was determined using the Box Behnken experimental design.Results: Based on the selected models, the optimal formulation was selected by the software consisted of 99.7% inulin, 70% stevia, 0.346% chia seed gum and 1% whey protein.Conclusion: The presence of inulin, stevia, chia seed gum and whey protein in cocoa milk formula improved the effective properties such as increasing viscosity, reducing sedimentation and cocoa milk particle size in promoting marketability and product acceptance by consumers. Therefore health-promoting in cocoa milk formulation can lead to the production of useful products while maintaining quality and sensory properties. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Awareness of proper nutrition leads to people's health, therefore if low-fat and low-sugar foods is produced, this can lead to an increase in the health of the society. Foman traditional cookie is one of the popular confectionery products in the north of Iran, which is made from wheat flour, butter, sugar, cinnamon and walnuts. This research deals with the feasibility of producing traditional Foman cookies by removing white sugar from cookie's cream and replacing it brown sugar and stevia natural sweetener powder.Materials and Methods: The changes in the levels of moisture, total sugar, calories and acidity were measured after substituting brown sugar and stevia powder (in terms of flavoring) instead of white sugar in cookie dough during a 14-day storage period at 25 degrees Celsius. In this method, brown sugar was replaced by 40, 50 and 60% of the removed white sugar in cookie core, and stevia was used to compensate sweetness taste. The changes of moisture, total sugar, calories and acidity after this replacement was measured during the 14-day storage period at 25°C.The color, taste, texture hardness and general acceptability of the cookies were investigated by sensory evaluation.Results: The results show that the replacement of brown sugar and stevia in cookie core has caused significant changes in dependent variables such as moisture, total sugar, acidity, calories, and kernel color, therefore kernel color and moisture have increased, but total sugar has a decreasing trend, calorie of cookies has increased as compared to the control sample due to the replacement of dry matter instead of white sugar. There is no significant change in taste, hardness of texture and overall acceptance.    Conclusion: In the examination of the samples in the selected intervals, the highest agreement with the control sample in terms of changes in dependent variables such as moisture, total sugar, acidity, color can be observed in the sample with 40% brown sugar and 60% stevia. Substitution of stevia and brown sugar instead of white sugar led to a decrease in total sugar, but there was no visible effect on taste, texture hardness, and overall acceptance, although time had a negative effect on most of the studied parameters. By increasing the amount of brown sugar, the agreement with the control sample decreases, but the amount of calories has a reverse trend due to the change of dry matter in the core.

        Based on Julia Kristeva's theory, intertextuality is mainly a method that shows that each text is formed on the basis of previous texts, and it is a method that introduces history to structuralism and its orphaned and lonely texts and interpretations. Based on this method, some previous articles and researches have considered the novel Symphony of the Dead as a reflection of "the novel of fury and uproar" or "the novel of the city I loved once again". Although all these factors can be discussed and investigated, due to the similarity of some cultural aspects and the similarity of some historical and cultural events, such as the occurrence of world wars, the comprehensive system of fascism and capitalism, many literary texts may be combined in terms of structure and content. slow down But what seems certain based on the opinion of the authors is that the most important work that is close to the novel Symphony of the Dead in terms of content and structure is "The Play Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller. . In fact, according to the historical parallels, and the common experience of different nations in historical events, we can boldly say that Symphony of the Dead is an Iranian example of the play Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller.

             Salt stress is one of the factors limiting plant growth and a major obnstacles for nutrient uptake in plants.  A factorial experiment with pots in the open air was implemented based on a completely randomized design with three replications to evaluate the effect of foliar application of iron (Fe: Sequestrene 138 at a concentration of 5 per thousand), boron (B: Boric acid at a concentration of 5 per thousand), and selenium (Se: Sodium selenite at a concentration of 2 per thousand) under NaCl salinity on root growth characteristics and the photosynthetic pigmentscontent of Stevia plant.  The experiment factors included different levels of sodium chloride (0, 3, 6, and 9 dS m-1) and spraying composition at eight levels (no spraying, Fe, B, Se, Fe + Se, Fe + B, Se + B, and Fe + Se + B). Results showed that salinity caused significant reduction in root dry weight, volume, length, diameter and density of root, percentage of dry weight to soil volume ratio, and chlorophyll a, b, and total. Among the various combinations of spraying, combined application of Fe, B, and Se had the highest mean dry weight, volume, length, area, and density of the root. The highest significant mean chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll contents were observed in spraying solution containing Fe at the non-stress level, and the combination of Fe and Se at 3 dS m-1 level of salinity. In general, decrease in root growth and leaf chlorophyll content (especially chlorophyll a) occurred under salt stress and generally, these factors led to the loss of plant growth at higher salinity levels (6 and 9 dS m-1). In order to reduce the negative effects of salinity stress, especially at lower levels (3 and 6 dS m-1), using Fe and Se elements are recommended to increase the chlorophyll content of the plant and improve root growth.

        This study was performed to investigate the effect of drought stress and salicylic acid on quantitative and qualitative yield and biochemical and physiological properties of stevia. An experiment was carried out based on a split plot design and randomized complete blocks with 3 replications in a research farm in Sarableh, Ilam during 2020-2021. Drought stress in 3 levels (control or 100% of field capacity, 75% of field capacity, and 50% of field capacity) and salicylic acid treatment in 2 levels (non-consumption and foliar application with a concentration of 1 mM) were applied. Plant height, number of periphery shoots, dry weight of stems and leaves, total dry matter yield, extractable sugars, and protein, proline, total chlorophyll, stevioside, glycoside, rebaudioside, and phenolic compound contents were assayed in the study. Findings showed that the highest total dry matter yield were obtained in irrigation control and salicylic acid consumption (77.2 g per plant), showing 34% increase compared to the lowest total dry matter yield obtained under 50% of field capacity irrigation and no salicylic acid consumption 34%. Also, in all drought stress treatments, applying salicylic acid improved total dry matter yield. In the treatment with no drought stress, the lowest sugar contents per plant were observed and in the treatment with salicylic acid the glucoside contents were more than the control. In general, drought stress reduced the amount of sugar and other growth traits of stevia plants. Applying salicylic acid in addition to improving the quantitative and qualitative traits of the stevia, improved the plant’s yield under various levels of drought stress, which is very important     Manuscript profile

        The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of calcium nanoparticle and putrescine on some physiological traits of the medicinal plant, stevia, under salt stress. In this regard, the experiment was performed based on a factorial completely randomized design with three replications. The experimental treatments contained three levels of calcium nanoparticle (0, 75, and 150 ppm), two levels of putrescine (0 and 1 mM), and three levels of salt (0, 75, 150 mM). Based on analysis of variance results, the simple effect of each treatment as salt stress, calcium nanoparticle, and putrescine was significant at P≤0.05; however, their interaction effect was not significant. Results also showed that salt stress (150 mM) resulted in the reduction of chlorophyll a (0.21), chlorophyll b (0.47), and total chlorophyll (0.68 mg/g dry weight) compared to the control while, an increase in carotenoid content (0.10) was observed under 150 mM salinity. Also, the photosynthetic pigments content increased under 150 ppm calcium nanoparticle and 1 mM of putrescine. Considering antioxidant enzymes, the treatment with 150 mM salt increased catalase enzyme as 1.69 and as 5.02 g/wet weight. In addition, the effect of putrescine led to the increase of catalase and peroxidase by 2.18 and 4.46 g/wet weight of leaves, respectively. Moreover, the treatment with 150 ppm calcium nanoparticles resulted in increases in catalase and peroxidase contents by 1.87 and 4.84 g/wet weight of leaves, respectively. The most appropriate concentrations of putrescine and calcium nanoparticles were 1 mM and 150 ppm, respectively which are recommended for assessment of other physiological and biochemical properties of stevia.   Manuscript profile

Experiment was evaluate by using four levels of salinity (0, 2, 4 and 6ds/m2) and three levels of magnetic fields (0, 3000 and 6000 G) as treatment in three replications. In September 2015 the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. Were collected from the research field of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The total phenol content was measured by folin ciocalteu method, flavonoid content with aluminum chloride, antioxidant activity by DPPH methode and the total and reduced sugar content were measured by using Fehling methods. Results were showed that the salinity had significant influence on total phenol and flavonoid contents at 1% probability and by increasing the level of salinity the content of these compounds were decreased. The salinity did not have statistically significant effect on the other parameters like antioxidant activity, total sugar and reduced sugar. Although no significant effect of magnetic water was observed on these parameters, but the interaction effect of salinity and magnetic field on the antioxidant activity of extract and total sugar was significant. So according to present study, the stevia is sensitive to salinity of pre-treatments water with magnetic field in this case is not effective Manuscript profile

        Aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of supplementation of garlic and stevia extract along with endurance activity on anxiety-like behaviors of male Wistar rats induced obesity with a high-fat diet. In this fundamental and experimental research, in order to induce obesity, 50 three-week-old male Wistar rats were exposed to a high-fat diet for 12 weeks, and then in 7 healthy control groups (HC), obese (HFD), garlic (G), stevia (St), aerobic (ET), garlic+aerobic (ET+G) and stevia+aerobic (ET+St) were randomly divided. Aerobic exercises including 30 minutes a day, 8 m/min and 5 days a week and garlic and stevia extract with a concentration of 250 mg/kg were also added to the water consumed daily. Cross-maze test was used to measure anxiety-like behaviors. ANOVA was used to determine the difference between groups and a significance level of 0.05 was considered. The results showed that the percentage of entering the open arm in the 12 weeks of high-fat diet in the obese group compared to the control group was significantly reduced (P=0.001) and in the 8 weeks exposed to exercise and extract interventions, the ET group (0.001) P=0), ET+G (P=0.001) and ET + St (P=0.001), had a significant increase compared to the HFD group. The present study showed that induction of obesity increases anxiety in male Wistar rats and it seems that the combination of aerobic exercise with garlic extract, the combination of aerobic exercise and stevia extract, aerobic exercise, stevia and garlic are effective in improving this process.

        Carbohydrates and lipids are known as the most important sources of calorie intake in food products, much attention has been paid to low-calorie and non-caloric alternatives. In this research, stevia and inulin was used as sugar and fat replacer in chocolate dairy dessert formulation, respectively. Inorder to optimize the formula and low-calorie chocolate dairy dessert production, three factors of inulin concentration (0to 8 g/100 g), stevia concentration (0 to 0.06 g/100 g), and storage day (1 to 14 day) were evaluated using response surface methodology (RSM) with Face-Centered Central Composite. Then, the chemical characteristics including pH, acidity, fat and protein content, and microbial properties were analyzed in the chocolate dairy dessert after 1, 4, 7, 10 and 14 days’ storage. Folch method applied for fatty acids extraction and Gas Chromatography used for determination of fatty acids. The results showed that the pH value decreased with increase in inulin content. An increase in unsaturated fatty acids was observed in low calorie chocolate dairy dessert. The Highest percentage of fatty acids in chocolate dairy dessets were palmitic acid followed by oleic acid. The evaluation of Sucrose, Lactose and Glucose content with HPLC Technique showed that sucrose was the dominate sugar in the control sample but lactose had more content in low calorie desserts. Both total bacterial count and mold and yeast count, were lower than the standard range. According to the model obtained, the formulation with 5.628 g/100 g inulin, 0.032 g/100 g stevia and 5.83 g/100 g of sucrose was selected. Manuscript profile

        Sometimes, the writers of literary texts utilize some characters from the other texts, stories and even the whole plot. One of main recourses of stories is myths that have been reflected in rites, beliefs and fables in different forms. The Greek myth of Persephone and her journey to the kingdom of Hades, the god of underworld, a myth about death and resurrection, is one of them. The main character of the novel, Welcome to Hades, by Belgheis Soleimani, travels like Persephone and after experiencing the events finally reaches the underworld. By using analytic method the present article attempt to explore the role and method of presence and recreation of the myth of Persephone in the novel, Welcome to Hades, with respect to Julia Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality and the ideas of Bakhtin about the logic of dialogue of texts and intertextual relationship in literary texts. The results of the research show that the myths of Persephone and Hades are a pretext for the novel Welcome to Hades and have influenced the structure and characters of the novel. By this way the hidden dimensions of the novel can be understood better. Manuscript profile

        Julia Kristeva has developed new approaches to analyzing texts by focusing on the theory of intertextuality and based on linguistics and psychology. According to the theory of abjection, derived from the post-structuralist ideas of Kristeva, literary creator, as a spokesperson, becomes estranged from abjects and offers solutions, including taking refuge in myths andarchetypes, to purify himself/herself and his/her community. In the present article, Heirani (Astonishment), a novel by Mohammd Ail Sajjadi, is analyzed based on the theory of abjection. The results show that the author has considered the archetypes, like water, anima, immortality, mountain and the number of seven as well as the mythical characters such as Siavash, Bahrām, Mehr and the sacred cow in order to get rid of individual and social abjects. In this regard, the novel has a mystical-intertextual relationship with the Shāhnāmeh and the story of Siavash. Manuscript profile

        Loss of muscle mass is one of the side effects of diabetes that may be delayed by regulating blood sugar levels through exercise or herbal supplements. Thirty-five male rats (180±10 g) were assigned to seven groups of control, diabetic, diabetic + exercise, diabetic + vanadium, diabetic + exercise + vanadium, diabetic + stevia, and diabetic + exercise + stevia. To induce type 1 diabetes, streptozotocin (55 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally, and vanadium extract (1mg/ml) was daily dissolved in water. The endurance training program consisted of eight weeks of treadmill running, five days a week, starting at 15 minutes at 20 meters/minute and ending at 35 minutes at 30 meters/minute in the final week. Histopathological changes in brain tissue were examined using a light microscope. In order to normalize the parametric data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and for their analysis, one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test, and for non-parametric data, Kruskal-Wallis test (p ≤ 0.05) were used. Body weight values ​​in all six experimental groups significantly decreased compared to healthy control group (p=0.001), in vanadium group compared to vanadium + exercise (p = 0.01), and in stevia + exercise group compared to stevia (p = 0.04). In the diabetic group, slight changes in cell number and size improved with exercise along with vanadium and stevia, and consumption of stevia, as well as cell degeneration with exercise along with vanadium and stevia, and consumption of vanadium and stevia (p=0.001). Eight weeks of endurance exercise, stevia, and vanadium intake appear to be effective in regulating body weight as well as improving the hamstring muscle damage caused by diabetes. .

        Diabetes is one of the main causes of death in developing countries. One of the ways to prevent diabetes and its complications is to do physical activity and use antioxidant supplements. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training and stevia on fetuin b, pentraxin 3 and GDF-15 in plasma and insulin resistance in type 1 diabetic rats. For this purpose, 25 type 1 diabetic mice were divided into 5 groups: healthy control, diabetes control, supplemental diabetes, training diabetes, and training-supplement diabetes. The training program of the rats was for a period of 65 days, with a speed of 20 to 30 m/min and an intensity of 10-25 m/min. Stevia dosage was 250 mg per kilogram of body weight by gavage. Mice were killed 48 hours after the last training session and blood sampling was done. To compare between groups, one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni's post hoc test were used. Examining the changes between groups showed that there is a significant difference between the groups for fetoin b, pentraxin 3 and plasma GDF-15 (p < 0.001). Examining the changes between groups showed that fetoin B and GDF-15 had a significant increase and pentraxin had a significant decrease in the healthy group compared to the diabetic group (p < 0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between the diabetes control group and the supplement and exercise groups in all indicators (p < 0.001. The results of the present study showed that aerobic exercise and stevia supplementation can decrease fetoin b and GDF-15 and increase pentraxin 3 in type 1 diabetic rats. These improvements were better in the group that took exercise and supplementation at the same time.   Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluate the effect of micronutrients (Fe, Zn and Mn) on the quantity and quality of the Stevia, an experiment was conducted in during 2014 at Research Greenhouse of Faculty of Agriculture, Islamic Azad University, Varamin branch. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Treatments included: 1-Control, 2-Foliar application (9% Fe water-soluble), 3- Foliar application (6% Fe water-soluble), 4- Foliar application (9% Fe water-soluble)+ Zn, 5- Foliar application (6% Fe water-soluble)+ Zn, 6-Foliar application (9% Fe water-soluble)+ Mn, 7- Foliar application (6% Fe water-soluble)+ Mn, 8- Foliar application (9% Fe water-soluble)+ Zn+Mn, 9- Foliar application (6% Fe water-soluble)+ Zn+Mn. Results showed a significant effect of Foliar micronutrients on shoot length, Internode length, root dry weight, leaf dry weight, soot dry weight, Stevioside, Rebaudioside, Glycoside, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll b/a, Fe, Zn and Mn content, but the effect of Treatments on P and Ca content is not significant. The Best Results in Foliar application (9% Fe water-soluble) + Zn+Mn treatment was obtained. The impact on the amount of phosphorus and calcium treatments were not significant. Because the micro-nutrients applied as foliar application is sent, an increased impact on soil phosphorus and phosphorus absorption and thus no plant phosphorus content is also due to the lack of elemental calcium treatments and applications by spraying, can have no effect on the absorption of calcium soil. Most of the glycosides in the treatment of iron (nine percent soluble in water) + Zn + Mn and lowest in control 7.55 and 3.94 respectively with an average of dry matter was obtained. Most of the shoot in the treatment of iron (nine percent soluble in water) + Zn + Mn and lowest in control respectively 81 and 58 cm respectively. Fe + Zn + Mn combination treatment compared to other treatments bigger share of Stevia in the lengthening of internodes were at least internode length, with an average of 3.03 inches was in control. Lowest Steviosid with an average of 2.25% of dry matter in the Amdo control Fe + Zn + Mn combination treatment compared to other treatments had a bigger share in the increase in the Stevia plant Steviosid. The highest Rybvdyvzyd in the treatment of iron (nine percent soluble in water) + Zn + Mn and iron treatment (six percent soluble in water) + Zn + Mn with an average of 2.63 and 2.53 percent of the dry matter and least control it.
