  Human cognition and experience of being in the landscape are achieved through diverse sensory perceptions such as vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind-dependent senses. The importance of these senses in the landscape creates a non-intuitive connection with space, understanding aesthetics, the concept of the environment and empowering the human’s mind about the environment. Senses affect human spatial behavior and the spirit of space, due to their stimulus features. The extent and depth of the experience can create quality for the landscape, known as »sensory richness«. It not only can increase human enjoyment but also make the environment more enjoyable. This increases the variety of sensory experiences for humans as space users. This study refers to coordinate the relationship between the physical environment of contemporary parks regarding the needs and behaviors of users. This also leads to increase its sensory richness by identifying and prioritizing diverse sensory perceptions in the landscape. The present study is related to the mixed nature and the comparative method. After identifying the senses affecting the landscape through the library method, data collection and analysis method in field study will be a combination of two procedures called »Sensewalking« and »Sensory notation«. By Sensewalking method, in each case study, a specific pathway consisting of primary and secondary pathways, including sensory index elements, was selected for the study. Furthermore, according to previous research, the Hamburg Sensewalking Project by Schultz in 2014, a team of researchers and seven participants, who were masters of architecture and urban planning, were formed. The group was already familiar to walk to identify six index sensory points. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants during the walk, and the sensory stimuli that triggered people’s senses everywhere were identified. After identifying six sensory index points, sensory notation was performed to analyze senses. This is followed by connecting the dots on each diagram, in which a gray surface was created. By comparing the area of the painted surfaces in these six points, the sensory richness levels of each spot are determined qualitatively and quantitatively. A comparative study of the sensory richness in the Persian Garden and Niavaran Park reveals that the sensory richness of the Iranian garden, which has an Iranian pattern was well supplied. However, Niavaran Park, which is one of the old gardens of Tehran, changed to the park during the garden transition. This leads to have less sensory richness. Although because of the features of the Iranian garden in Niavaran Park such as the water axis and the row of trees, the visual and auditory preference was the same, the other senses had different priorities. Consequently, modeling the sensory richness of the Iranian garden through identifying and prioritizing diverse sensory perceptions in the landscape can enhance the sensory richness of contemporary parks. This leads to tailor the relationship between the park's physical environment to user needs and behavior. For the sake of suggestion for future research, we can address the impact of senses on the environmental quality of landscapes and their extent.  Manuscript profile

  Inroduction & Objective: In the recent years, due to the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of various diseases, oxidative stress markers have become a useful tool in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Regarding the importance of dairy cattle transition period and little research on the state of oxidative stress during the transition period, the aim of this study was to investigate the status of oxidative stress during the transition period using Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and total antioxidant capacity (GSH) two weeks before and after parturition in Holstein dairy cows in Shahrekord dairy farms. Materials and Methods: 42 dairy were selected from one of the industrial dairy farms in Shahrekord. Blood samples were taken two times (two weeks before and after pregnancy) and was transferred to the laboratory for measurement of Malondialdehyde, glutathione and total antioxidant capacity. T-test was used to compare the mean of each of these parameters before and after pregnancy. Results: The mean serum Malondialdehyde level after parturition in comparison to before parturition increased, although it was not statistically significant (P>0/05). The mean glutathione and total antioxidant capacity of the blood after delivery in comparison with the prepartum were significantly decreased (P<0/05). Also, the levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase enzymes decreased significantly after delivery compared to before delivery (P <0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that dairy cows are exposed to oxidative stress during the transition period, although they do not show clinical symptoms. As a result, it is important to pay attention to the use of antioxidants during the transition period. . Manuscript profile

  The purpose of this research was to study the effects of four personal and social variables including the age, literacy, job experience and size of herd on different variables such as implementing of managerial strategies in transition period, relevant costs of these strategies, average production per head and gross income of milk sale per head. For this purpose all required information were collected through questionnaire distribution among the owners of commercial dairy farms of Shahroud district. This questionnaire was included three parts. Relevant information about personal and social indices was inserted in first part. Second part included of relevant information about performance and non-performance of considered managerial strategies in transition period and third part was about relevant information about production and economic records. Finally all information about 50 herds was obtained and compared as well. Data analysis was through applying Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method. Also it was possible to specify any relation among independent and dependent variables through calculation of Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Finally it was revealed that social and personal factors have a significant effect on the implementation of management strategies and other independent factors. Manuscript profile

  The objective of this study was to assess the effect of feeding top-dress bioactive peptides from cottonseed (CSBP) and hydroxy seleno methionine (HSM) on the performance, immune system, and health status of Holstein cows during the prepartum period. One hundred and eighty multiparous Holstein dry cows from 21 d before the expected calving date were assigned to one of the four experimental treatments of a random-ized complete block design in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement including 1) control group (containing inor-ganic Se recommended in NRC (2001)), 2) control plus 1.2 mg HSM, 3) control plus 300 g CSBP and 4) control plus 1.2 mg HSM and 300 g CSBP. The interaction of HSM and CSBP affected prepartum serum glucose concentration. Prepartum immune indicators and liver enzymes were not affected by the interaction of CSBP by HSM. In the postpartum period, the interaction of HSM by CSBP affected the concentration of serum glucose, cholesterol, total protein (TP), and creatine kinase (CK). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) tended to be significant by the interaction of HSM and CSBP. The interaction of CSBP with HSM in-creased milk production. The interaction of CSBP by HSM showed that the Pe0Se1 cows had the lowest milk BHB concentration compared to other treatments. These results demonstrate that feeding top-dress CSBP and HSM could improve milk yield. Increasing total antioxidant capacity (TAC) by HSM and pep-tide separately could be helpful as a tool to pass the inflammatory period peripartum. The liver functionality index wasn’t affected by any of the experimental treatments. Manuscript profile
