        Islamophobia (or more precisely ‘unfounded fear, prejudice and discrimination towards Islam and Muslims’) through social, economic and political deprivation has harmful effects on Muslims’ everyday lives. Media are the most prominent tools to reach this goal. Some analysts even believe that “western media” are the primary sources of Islamophobia. Among the various types of media, “Visual Media” are probably the most effective opinion makers in the west. So in this article, Islamophobia in cinema (especially Hollywood as a famous symbol of that) and television programs including news, documentaries, animations, etc. will be discussed.

        The impact of a free press on development may never have been properly assessed. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to calculate such an effect. However, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of media freedom on the Human Development Index (HDI) in a group of 21 countries in Southwest Asia in the annual period from 2002 to 2020. To investigate and measure this relationship, the dynamic panel data econometrics method and the generalized two-stage system torque (SGMM) approach have been used. The results of the specified model show that media freedom has a positive and significant effect on the human development index and with one unit increase in the media freedom index, the human development index increases by 4.290 units. Also, other variables of this study, such as GDP per capita and the number of Internet users, increase the human development index by one percent to 2.290 and 6.101 units, respectively, and therefore a positive and significant relationship for both variables was obtained. In addition, the variable of the corruption control index has a negative and significant effect on the human development index and with one unit increase in the corruption control index, the human development index will decrease by 0.006 units Manuscript profile

        6 - Typology Research of the Northwest Iran’s Railway Stations’ Architecture (The Qajar Period to Present)

        The railways, as a gateway to urban life and an achievement of technology, reflect the characteristics of the culture and identity of each community, which are also presented in the architectural styles of its stations. Railway stations have been of great historical importance by changing the intellectual horizon of the people. Today, railway stations do not only serve as a mean for people to travel and transport, but also, they are being constructed for their aesthetic and symbolic values. In this regard, old railway stations are the most significant ones as they increase the value of their surroundings and are capable to help practice sustainable architecture. The initial stations were mainly derived from endemic architecture styles and materials, resulting in enduring buildings. However, the typology of the architecture of the old railway stations in Iran has not been studied adequately especially in different periods of time and consequently, the need for a comprehensive study in this matter is striking. Therefore, by using the qualitative-analytical method and collecting data from various documents, old books, and field observations, this research aims to study and analyze the physical characteristics of 116 Iran’s northwestern railway stations (Tehran - Tabriz) in four periods of Qajar, first and second Pahlavi and The Islamic Republic to identify the physical patterns of the railway stations of each period. The main question that this paper tries to answer is: “what are the differences between railway stations’ architectural body during various periods of time in the northwestern line of Tehran-Tabriz?” First of all, railway stations of each period in the research area were identified one by one, and afterward, by a detailed analysis, the typology of the identified stations’ architectural body was classified for each period. The identified factors for evaluation were the plan’s type, number of floors, type of roof, the used materials in the station’s facade, and the number of ornaments. These factors were considered separately in the railway stations of each of the four periods. The results of the research indicate a significant reduction in the variety of patterns used over time, except for the number of floors in the period of the Islamic Republic with two and three-floors stations with more variety of uses, the type of materials used, roof type, type and proportions of the plan and the number of decoration patterns studied in this period, have lost their variety during the time. To construct railway stations in the period of the Islamic Republic, there has been a tendency towards flat roofs and a plan type that has a relatively monotone structure without decorations. The current research identifies the architectural body of historical railway stations, in order to plan for future development and reuse them while preserving their originality and historical identity, as part of the cultural heritage of Iranian society. Additionally, future studies can focus on a more detailed analysis such as determining differences between the various materials in each part of the building like façade, floor, walls, and ornaments during time periods.

        Asylum in another country has a history for various reasons. Although our country, Iran, has a smaller population of asylum seekers than other Western countries, it still receives a large number of foreign nationals. This analytical-descriptive study seeks to examine the practice of the Islamic Republic of Iran in dealing with refugees, while comparing with the Western practice of this action. It was concluded that the Western practice of accepting refugees through unconventional sexual behavior is incompatible with the principles of health security as well as the responsibility of protecting the family. Acceptance due to political problems is considered a violation of the principle of neutrality, which is specified in the custom of international law. Admission through conversion has largely become a means of accepting asylum without the conditions of entitlement. However, the Islamic Republic of Iran, based on the principles of Velayat-e-Faqih, has accepted refugees from other countries in the framework of supporting the oppressed, and at the same time has always observed the principle of neutrality. International law sources oblige countries to prohibit arbitrary deprivation of citizenship, so there is no specific requirement for countries to grant citizenship, and the Islamic Republic of Iran cannot be criticized for not granting citizenship to Afghan citizens, due to the country's economic problems. Is to distribute job opportunities with the necessary measures, in which case the restrictions imposed are in line with international standards. Manuscript profile

        Sensitivity analysis of reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0) is crucial for improving water management in the arid and semi-arid country as like Iran. However, it is important to analyze the sensitivity of ET0 to meteorological parameters, since the climate globally has been changed to some extent. In this study, sensitivity of ET0 by varying the climatic parameters at 36 selected stations in the West and Northwest of Iran was investigated. The priority and effect of the climatic parameters in different months at the selected stations were found by sensitivity analysis. The ET0 is calculated based on the most recommended form of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. To analysis the sensitivity, variations of ET0 depends on the changes in minimum temperature (Tmin), maximum temperature (Tmax), wind speed (u2), minimum relative humidity (RHmin) and maximum relative humidity (RHmax), in the range of ±20% with the step of 5% was calculated. Finally, the parameter with higher importance for each station was obtained. Results showed that ET0 was more sensitive to the variation of Tmax at the 13 stations (36.11%) in annual time scale. The maximum change of ET0 by increasing of Tmax with+20% was found at Ardebil (15.54%) and the minimum change in the same situation was found to be 6.05 % at Meshkinshahr. The range of the changes by varying T min was between -47 % (in Sanandaj) to 0.91 % (in Khalkhal). Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: The share of agricultural sector in West Azerbaijan province, Iran from surface water abstraction is 91.2%. Excessive consumption of water resources, drought and destruction of agricultural lands, dependence of work and livelihood of 1.2 million population of province on the agricultural sector, the adoption of long-term development plans, have intensified the water crisis in agricultural sector. Therefore, managing the consumption of surface water is essential. This study investigates the effect of agricultural, economic, policy-making, climatic, socio-cultural and educational scenarios on management of surface water consumption and availability.Method: The present study is an applied research has been carried out using the dynamic system approach in order to achieve sustainable management of water resources in West Azerbaijan province. First, the statistical data from the previous years (1991-2018) are entered into the system using Excel and SPSS software. Then, the dynamic system model is developed in VENSIM software. To ensure the efficiency of the model in evaluating policies, the model validation test is performed. After making sure that the model works efficiency, population growth scenarios with different fertility rates, PS1 (2.11 children), PS2 (1.95 children), PS3 (1.5 children) and PS4 (2.6 Children) and climatic scenarios with a probability of 20% annual rainfall reduction, continuation of the current rainfall trend and 20% annual rainfall improvement are introduced to the model. Additionally, investment scenarios with the aim of 0.5% improvement in the annual irrigation efficiency and the crop scenario such as low-consumption cultivation pattern are introduced to the model. Moreover, the impacts of participatory and education scenarios, are simulated up to the horizon of 2051.Results: The results showed that in the validation test there is a high correlation between the simulated values ​​and the observed values ​​of surface water, and the model is effective in evaluating policies. Upon continuation of the rainfall current trend, available surface water decreases by 3.76% during the simulation period (2018-2051). Droughts intensify with a decrease of 20% of annual rainfall due to the direct effect of rainfall on runoff, available surface water is reduced by 20.54%. The largest decrease in the surface water content is related to the scenario of reduced rainfall (-20%) together with the scenario of increasing fertility rate (ps4), which cause a decrease in the available surface water by 46.15%. Population growth has increased the total water consumption and even agricultural water demand by 27% over the 2051 horizon. Simultaneously using low-consumption cultivation pattern scenarios, investment to improve irrigation efficiency, participatory activities and training programs to improve water management, water consumption decrease by 29.20% and agricultural water demand from the surface water decrease by 31.37% under these conditions, the available surface water improves by 9.12% to the horizon of 2051.Conclusion: The results showed that, it is necessary to review population scenarios at the national level. Also, the agricultural scenario of observing the pattern of low-consumption cultivation with reducing water demand per hectare is known as the best scenario and its application has increased the available surface water by 2.45 times.Keywords: Water resource management, Economic/policy-making scenarios, Climatic scenarios, West Azerbaijan provinceBackground and Aim: The share of agricultural sector in West Azerbaijan province, Iran from surface water abstraction is 91.2%.

In this regard, Guenon's view is presented in the context of critique of the scientific and historical view, which is opposite to his view. According to Guenon, the division into two views, western and eastern, is generally justifiable, and the western view has serious flaws that it cannot properly understand the teachings of the East, especially Hinduism. therefore, he rejects the general competence of the West in understanding the East, Among the reasons: he mentions lack of understanding of the spirit of the Oriental language and lack of intra-religious views. in return; The necessary principles for understanding these teachings will be explained from his works; 1- Having a stable-oriented view, not evolutionary 2- Believing in metaphysics and its effects 3- Understanding the spirit of Hindu language 4- Having an empathetic and intra-religious view 5- Having a cryptic and symbolic view which is discussed in this article.

        Background and Objective: Today environmental pollutions especially pollution of water ecosystems have caused serious problems for human communities as well as other living organisms. In regards with increasing growth of population using chemicals has increased in different industrial, agricultural and residential sectors. Endocrine disrupting chemicals or strogenic- like compounds are the great importance due to their negative consequences on human beings and animals (fish and amphibious). The aim of this study was determining the concentration of Nonylphenol and Bisphenol A in water samples of estuaries of 9 rivers in south-west coast of Caspian Sea and examining the correlation of these compounds with chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and pH.   Method: In this study, different parameters based on standard methods for water and wastewater was measured. To extract Nonylphenol and bisphenol A of water samples was used of liquid-liquid separation method. And Nonylphenol and bisphenol A concentration was measured with high performance liquid chromatography. Findings: Results showed that estuary of Astara River has the biggest concentration of studied parameters compared to other stations which can be due to the passage of river through the city center and penetration of municipal and residential waste water to the river. Result of correlation test indicated that there is a positive and significant correlation between BOD and COD concentrations، and Bisphenol A and Nonylphenol in studied samples. There is also a negative (inverse) and significant correlation between the pH and Bisphenol A and Nonylphenol concentrations. Discussion and Conclusion: Since the presence of these chemicals even in low concentrations can have adverse effects in health of ecosystems. There are concerns regarding the presence of these strogenic-like chemicals in water resources in the country.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Increasing consumption of chemical compounds in industrial processes has led to the accumulation of pollutants, including heavy metals, which are very costly and difficult to absorb from the environment. The purpose of this applied research is to investigate the level of cadmium, chromium and lead contamination in the soil of western Tehran using pollution, enrichment and land geoaccumulation indices and pollution factors.Material and Methodology:  In order to evaluate the concentration of heavy elements in the study area, sampling was done in all three areas of District 21 of Tehran Municipality and 10 samples from each area with three replications and a total of 90 samples were prepared in the spring of 2020 and the concentrations of cadmium, lead and chromium in Soltani acid extract was measured using an atomic absorption spectrometer. The present study is one of the descriptive-analytical researches and its data are of primary type which has been prepared by two methods of documentary and field studies.Findings: The accumulation of these elements has been created in the surface soil. The mean concentrations of the studied elements in zones two and three were higher than one. The topsoil of area three had higher amounts of lead, cadmium and chromium than the other two areas, but these values were not significantly different from area two. The average amounts of lead, chromium and cadmium for the region were 38.1, 9.1 and 1.6 mg/kg, respectively. The enrichment index in zones two and three was more than one, but the numerical value of this index was less than one in zones one. Geoaccumulation index values for lead element in all three areas showed non-contaminated to slightly contaminated class and for cadmium and chromium showed non-contaminated class. The numerical value of the contamination factor, except for cadmium and in zone one, in other cases is one and more than one, which indicates the high concentration of these elements compared to the background concentration in the study area.Discussion and Conclusion: As a result of industrial and traffic activities, the accumulation of excess amounts of man-made elements in the study area has been created.

        Background and Objective: Limited energy resources and the need to save on its consumption make energy optimization in the building sector necessary. In this regard, due to the lack of appropriate methods of design and development of new technologies to measure the energy loss of the building is of particular importance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the energy dissipation of residential buildings by designing and using a practical example based on a comprehensive spatial information system.Method: A number of sample housing units with almost identical geometric and physical conditions were considered. In order to investigate the energy dissipation, an extensive energy management system was designed and developed, which includes the LM35 heat sensor, GPS sensor, and GSM board. The stages of this research include conceptual design of energy management system, data collection, information processing and preparation of waste maps in GIS environment. Software developed in mobile and computer environments was also used to display thermal information.Findings: To obtain the amount of energy dissipation of the windows of the studied buildings, kave heat transfer coefficient was applied to the measured data and the amount of energy dissipation of each section was calculated. The measurement results showed that the kitchens of the studied residential buildings with the values ​​of 1.406 had the highest amount of loss.Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that most of the buildings under study are not optimal in terms of energy standards and energy resources are wasted from them.

        Background and Objectives: knowledge about the animal Population size is important for Wildlife management and is the main requirement tool for management and is the prerequisite for management. Western mole-vole have special life. It has underground life and for this reason the researchers have been little attention to it. Estimating abundance is important and first information that use wildlife management. Therefore study estimating abundance is done for this species. Method: We use to distance models (T-square sampling and Byth and Ripley). This models don’t need plot and quadrats and Using Seber (1982) model for sample size. Also we use Burnham et al. (1980) for total length of transect and using Ecological Methodology software. Findings: The T-square method, the sample size n=27, density was estimated 56 species per hectare that the 95% confidence interval limits of 38/44 to 63/8 species per hectare (SE=0/0039). The Byth and Ripley method, the sample size n=27, density was estimated 49 species per hectare that the 95% confidence interval limits of 45/2 to 52/6 species per hectare (SE=0/00076). Discussion and Conclusion: The final mean population size was considered 50 species per hectare.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify and investigate the synoptic systems that led to the extensive and destructive flood events in the west and southwest of the country on March 31 and April 1, 2019. Method: In order to study the synoptic conditions in coincided with the event of heavy rainfall leading to the floods, in addition to using NOAA18 satellite images, sea level pressure data, sea level specific humidity, geopotential height and omega at pressure level 850, 700 and 500 hPa, Relative humidity pressure  at 700 hPa, U and V component from pressure 1000 to 200 hPa with a resolution of 2.5 ° to 2.5° latitude from the National Center for Environmental Prediction and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP / NCAR) Received and the maps were plotted. Findings: Existence of a deep cyclone at sea level pressure to 500 hPa pressure from eastern Mediterranean to western of Iran and also the establishment of a subtropical jet stream with meridian direction (southwest - northeast) in the southwest and west of the country and finally the intense vertical shear of horizontal wind from sea level pressure to 200 hPa in the study area, It is known as the main factors of cause of instability in the west and southwest of the country. existence Specific humidity of 14 to 18 g / kg at sea level pressure and relative humidity of 95 to 100% at a pressure of 700 hPa have also been identified as suitable moisture conditions in the study area. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study show that on March 31 and April 1, 2019, the atmosphere of the western and southwestern regions of the country in all depths of the troposphere layer experienced severe instability due to the establishment eastern part of a deep cyclone. Above the cyclone mentioned above, located meridional flows of subtropical jet stream which has intensificated the instability to the depth of the tropospheric layer. Also moisture advection from the western Arabian Sea, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf has caused form cells from thick convective clouds throughout the west and southwest of the country. The heavy rains resulting from these convective clouds have caused severe and extensive floods in this area of the country. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Recognizing the climatic potentias, as a basis for human activities, provides the predominant foundation for environmental and land use plannning. Most of the tourists follow climate considerations to choose the destination. The aim of this study was to evaluate and render the zoning of seasonal tourism at the northwest of Iran using tourism climatic index (T.C.I). Method: In this study, to assess the climatic conditions from the tourism perspective, the climatic data from 22 synoptic stations in the northwest Iran for a period of 20 years (1990-2010) were collected. In this model, a 7-parameter system was used. These parameters included mean maximum temperature, average temperature, average minimum relative humidity, mean relative humidity, total monthly precipitation, sunshine hours and daily average wind speed. The TCI index was used for data analysis and the tourism climate maps were drawn for four seasons using GIS. Findings: The results show that the TCI index has a large variety of topography in the northwest because of conflicts over the years. Summer with the conditions as infinite ideal: 7, ideal condition: 10, excellent quality: 3, acceptable: 1 and very good condition: 1 ranked the first among other three seasons. Autumn with the conditions as perfect: 4, very good: 11, good: 3 and acceptable: 4 ranked the second. Spring season with the spesifications as very good: 2, good: 2, acceptable: 11 and insignifcant: 7 ranked. Winter with the conditions as acceptable: 1, insignificant: 14, poor: 5 and very poor: 2 ranked the fourth place and the most unfavorable condition among the other seasons. Discussion and Conclusion: Northwest of Iran with great tourist attraction can be pioneer in local and foreign tourism. Beautiful scenery and unique and varied climate conditions in all seasons can greatly contribute to the development of this industry and lead to great benefits. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The inseparable connection of man and architecture over different periods, either in the form of drawing a relative resemblance or analogy between the structure of the human body and architecture has always been considerable due to either aesthetic reasons or symbolic reasons. The author's attempt is to investigate the type of human-architectural relationship in classical, modern and postmodern periods based on similarities and differences. The aim pursued in this research is a comparative study of this relationship in the aforementioned periods, in order to achieve the cognitive relation between human and architecture from the perspective of the aesthetics. The main question is how western architecture has dealt with human as an aesthetic subject during different periods?Material and Methodology: This research is descriptive-analytical qualitative type, and in order to understand the place of man in the architectural aesthetics of different periods, it takes an interpretive point of view by using thematic literature, in a comparative method.Findings: The findings show that the general principles of aesthetics taken from the human body in classical architecture gradually became a complex process in subsequent periods.Discussion and Conclusion: It means, in the classical architecture, the implicit (metaphorical) and symbolic meaning of the aesthetics which was influenced by the human body. These concepts gradually faded to the onset of the modern period. The relationship between architecture and man from an aesthetic point of view in the classical period with an emphasis on its symbolic dimension, and in the modern period, emphasizing its pragmatic dimension, was a purely anatomical approach through mathematical logic. While this approach was transformed by the emergence of postmodernism into perceptional approach; hence, in postmodernism, emphasis is placed on human presence in architecture and cognizance through it, so this two-sided relationship of the body/architecture has come to the subject of "aesthetics experience" through physical perception in post-modernism architecture.

        Background and Purpose: Today one of the issues and essential crises of human societies is incidence of dust phenomenon. Therefore, in researches, the dust concentration has been compared in relation to climatic variables in Sanandaj, Khoramabad and Andimeshk cities located in different geographical areas in the western half of Iran.Material and Methodology: Inactive sampling was done for measuring dust density. Menkendal test and Pierson cohesion were done for assessment of changes process and their relation with some meteorology parameters.Results: Results showed that the most average density of dust in Sanandaj, Khoramabad and Andimeshk cities were (1.45±0.48, 1.14±0.84 & 1.65±1.07) mg to m2. Checking changes process of dust density showed that Sanandaj station has decreasing process in meaningful level 95 percent (P-value=0.047) between different station. Results of cohesion assessment among dust amounts in 3 stations with metrology parameters showed that in Sanandaj station there was positive relation between dust density and temperature average (p < 0.05, r = 0.61), but there was negative relation between dust density with comparative damp (p < 0.05, r = 0.71) and downfall (p < 0.05, r = 0.61) In Khoramabad (p < 0.05, r = 0.61)  and Adimeshk (p < 0.001, r = 0.72) stations there was positive and meaningful relation between dust density and wind speed. Discussion and Conclusion: By these findings it can be concluded that dust amounts in different areas depends on geographical condition, topography requirements, continental, metrology parameters and also their origins are various.  Manuscript profile

        AbstractMan attains the point of perfection with morality and politeness, and science is like a ladder to reach the peak of morality, and this is possible when it is accompanied by knowledge. Knowledge, or in other words, mysticism, is a completely moral concept that the mystic paves the way to achieve with his mystical works. Many writers and mystics are taking this step. Iran has been the cradle and origin of mystical poets who have been a turning point in the history of mysticism by creating Islamic mystical works. Attar Neyshabouri is one of the Iranian poets who is known as a pole in the axis of Islamic mysticism. Therefore, this study aims to introduce Attar's method by describing Attar's analysis of the position of Attar in Islamic mysticism and his role in acquainting the people of East and West with Islamic mysticism and the extent of its influence and reflection in the literature of these two areas. Pay. Based on the results of this study, it can be said that the influence of Attar's mystical thought and poetry on Eastern and Western literature is not less than the influence of Islam on hearts; Because Attar's mysticism is a mixture of moral and Islamic themes with Eastern spirit and psyche. For this reason, the study of perfumery among Eastern and Western writers and poets is due to their inspiration and mystical tendency towards Attar's mystical taste. Manuscript profile

        The principles and elements of romanticism have greatly influenced contemporary Arabic and Persian poetry, and new themes have entered the poetry through this school. Swans and images made using this bird are considered one of these themes. Swan and its poetic images are not used in Arabic classical poetry, and the history of its application dates back to the contemporary era. In the contemporary era, through the introduction of European literature through translation, which translates into the transmission of literary and cultural phenomena, new themes have been introduced into the Arabic literature by using the artistic features of this bird. This article reviews the contemporary Arabic poetry, which uses Swan and its related attributes to create images and themes and adapt them to the Western pattern. Swans have different symbolic meanings in different cultures. In contemporary Arabic poetry, poets such as Adonis, Mahmoud Darvish and ... have used the image of swan, such as the death of swan, dance of swan and singing of swans, using western patterns and poetic look at the Swan Bird. Since the study of the origin and source of new Arabic poetry images and themes will help clarify the rules and patterns of the development of the new Arabic poetry, this study looks at the comparative view of the extent and type of Arabic poets' influence on Western literary patterns.

        The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is entirely concerned with the material aspects of human life and is clearly flawed in the realm of human moral and spiritual rights. Human beings are defined as desirable in human beings, centered and opposite to God, and right-oriented before God, and it is called "freedom". However, the school of Islam recognizes the social identity of human beings in their morals and beliefs and believes that if moral and spiritual rules are established as the rights of spiritual life in human beings, their material rights will also be preserved in a desirable way. "Humanism is the cultural identity of the new age of the West. Man-centered and the axis of all things and the criterion for distinguishing well from evil, he sits in the place of God and is able to solve his life problems without any connection with the supernatural and religion. "What is original is human, and God can be considered only for the relief of spiritual pain, and it does not have originality." In the present world, the humanist foundation, with the slogan of respecting human beings, considers itself the legal-human source and its only reference, and in the Islamic worldview, the sources of the universal human law, its origin is completely determined. Man is limited in time, power, and science to prove science today, and many of his therapies for human societies are ineffective in the human spiritual path. Manuscript profile

On the one hand, the general principles and intellectual and cultural foundations of the West are based on humanity or human-centeredness. Industry, giving originality to the tool, belief in the principle of progress, and on the other hand, the characteristics of Eastern civilization and culture (and what is meant here from the East, the geographical area of the Arab countries, including the Arab world) are religiosity, belief in the unseen, practical adherence to religion and religious orders and traditions, and focus on God Almighty and not The exclusivity of the world in matter and the material world, the concern and emphasis on human happiness and the non-exclusivity of knowledge in empirical knowledge.

        It is obvious that literature means prose and poetry and makes no difference either by Arabs or non – Arabs. But symbolism in the Arabic concept has emerged since the emergence of the Dark era’s literature and is loaned from the specific characteristics of Dark era’s lives and is based on two elements: brevity and indirect speech. Since the symbolism has emerged like a literary school generally in the Western literature and specifically in the French literature, it is necessary to express the concept of Western symbolism as well as different eras of Arabic literature in the research of Western and Arabic symbolism. The author of the present article intends to mention the characteristics of symbolism in literature whether hidden in Arabic or Western literature. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present research is the comparative study of arbitration in Islamic jurisprudence versus arbitration in the west (France). In Islamic jurisprudence, the institution of arbitration is raised with reference to jurisprudential sources (the Qur'an, tradition, consensus, and reason). The research method is descriptive-analytic and the results indicated that the concept of judgment in the current legal order corresponds with the concept of arbitrator in jurisprudence. Muslim lawyers hold that the system of Islamic judgment and trial has comprehensively been able to create logical and fundamental methods in terms of all human acts and behaviors by making accurate laws based on human nature whereas the judicial system of the West does not act in this way. The philosophy of arbitration in Islamic religion and law and its correspondence with the western and international (French) law is that this civil law should be able to effectively solve conflicts and personal, national, and international enmity in the light of mutual satisfaction of those who are beneficiary in a deal, convention, or even family without any official ceremony, mere trial, legal and judicial force, or spending a long time. The results substantiated from this legal act are considered as the included conditions in an agreement.      Manuscript profile

        Today, observance of "citizenship rights" is considered as one of the measures of the people's rule and also the effectiveness of political systems. In the past, such a notion of rights was not available to all citizens of a state. In fact, there were limited rights for some groups in some societies. In the history of political thought, various interpretations of the notion of citizenship have taken place, insofar as the concept of virtue-based and participatory ethics has evolved into a law-based and law-based conception. Citizenship is one of the key concepts in the history of Western political thought, which has been based on a variety of intellectual traditions, reflecting different political and social backgrounds since ancient times. The present paper responds to the question of how membership in a political community has become a criterion for enjoying certain rights under citizenship rights? Utilizing "conceptual history" as a method in the history of political thought, it reinforces the claim that the transformation of the concept of right has implications for political thought, one of which is the emergence of equitable citizenship rights.

        This research, employing a descriptive-analytical method with a problem-oriented approach, examines the positive and ideological nature of the Islamic Revolution in the West Asian region as a unique phenomenon. It has managed to transform into an identity-giving model for the states and groups within the Axis of Resistance. The study adopts a developmental research approach, recognizing the Axis of Resistance as an unwritten security alliance among Shiite and non-Shiite resistance movements in West Asia and beyond, aimed at combating the Israeli regime and Western dominance in the Middle East, thereby advocating for the liberation of Palestine. From the early days of the Islamic Revolution's victory, Iran, by rejecting both Western and Eastern influences, proclaimed the formation of the "Party of the Oppressed" encompassing all the world's oppressed, positioning itself as an inspiring model for militant Muslims. Consequently, countries like Saudi Arabia, which seek to expand the Wahhabi ideology and lead the Arab world, accuse Iran of exporting the revolution and attempting to overthrow regional governments. Aligning with the West, they strive to portray Iran as a threat to regional countries, emphasizing its influence in four capitals (Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, and Sana'a). On the other hand, the Zionist regime attempts to establish friendly relations with Iran's neighboring countries to implement its "Iranophobia" project. By infiltrating Turkey and Iraq in Iran's western borders, Azerbaijan and Central Asia in the northern borders, and the Gulf countries, especially Qatar, in the southern borders, Israel aims to encircle Iran and reduce its influence in leading the Axis of Resistance.

        In the Syrian crisis, there is an increasing spread in the territorial geography of the conflict, and the manner in which violence is perpetrated is more and more different than in other contemporary conflicts. However, alongside these two inner dimensions, an exterior feature also gives this distinctive chaotic environment a clash of several different civilization systems. The direct and indirect presence of a large number of regional and international actors is one of the most important features that makes the analysis of why and its implications in different dimensions essential. For this reason, the main issue of research is to analyze and analyze the causes of the collision of several civilizations in the Middle East and specifically in the Syrian crisis. This article focuses on fundamental research and has utilized documentary, library, and online resources that have been written using inferential analysis in the context of a descriptive and analytical approach.The findings of the research have shown us that today we are witnessing a full-blown civilization war involving three civilizations (Islam, Orthodox and Confucius) in the field of civilization battle with Western civilization. The battlefield is the world of Islam, and Syria is now the main testing ground for these four civilizations. Given the structural decline of the Western world's ability to contain global chaos and instability in various economic, social and military spheres, and with the increasing progress of Eastern civilizations such as Slav-Orthodox and Confucian civilization, what is now happening in Syria and Iraq can be He considered the latest efforts of Western civilization to maintain its former status and the resistance of Eastern civilizations to its demands in the battle of civilizations. In addition, in these conflicts, a new culture, with the emergence of Islam, advocates movements of Islamic resistance influenced by this new cultural geography, thereby expanding Western influence from its security and cultural environment while expanding its sphere of influence. The ultimate goal of this crisis for the Muslim world is to liberate and liberate all the oppressed nations of the Islamic world and the world from the oppression and domination of the oppressors. Hence, the bloody conflict in Syria is a reflection of the civilizations' war and the changing geopolitical status of the region and the birth of a new order on the international scene.

        A form of comparative literature is to compare a work or some works of two eloquent poets in order to find their mutual influence. The content of West–Eastern Diwan (the Collection of poems) of Goethe, the famous German man of letter, shows that he was greatly influenced by Hafiz as well as S'adi, the great Persian poet and author, because some works of Persian literature, particularly those of S'adi, has been translated into western languages since some centuries ago, which has made western scholars and men of letters familiar with them. This article, after examining Goethe's familiarity with Saadi's works and the reasons for Goethe's influence, examines the considerable evidence of the common themes between Saadi and Goethe and illustrates Goethe's influence on Saadi or the affinities of their ideas from the poetry offices of the Western-Eastern Divan. These are commonalities and influences on the content, thought, and type of thought of many phenomena, including: Praise God and point to His justice and dominance over the East and the West, Freedom of Thought, Arrest of the Poor, Inability to Love, Short and Lifetime, Trespassing on Short Life, Eating the Sadness of the World, and Spending the World With Jealousy and Disdain Others, language silence, ignorance of the ignorant.

They reflect the viewpoints related to social, political, cultural, literary and religious functions of the society. Regardless of their form and purpose, travelogues are of great significance, especially the ones recorded by well-known itinerants and literary elite. Haj travelogues, however, are more important, since their recorders are literati who thrust into them their mystical and insightful impressions to reveal the outer world and its cultural differences.

        Undoubtedly, many contemporary Arab poets were influenced by Western literature, and the traces of world-renowned poets such as T. S. Eliot, left in that literature. Eliot's famous poem, The Waste Land, with its tragic aspect had great influences on the contemporary Arab poets, especially after the occupation of Palestine and in the time of the socio-cultural crisis of the Arabs, because they imagine that their land is the same as Eliot's the waste Land. They expect water to revive their life. It can be said that the unfortunate reality of the political and social conditions of the Arab countries has been the main reason for inspiring the mentioned poets from the devastated land. Meanwhile, the Syrian-Lebanese poet Youssef al-Khal is among those who have been influenced by Western literature, especially Eliot. He founded a magazine called 'Poetry' and caused a new development in the concept of poetry in the Arabic language, which undoubtedly influenced the literature of the West, especially Eliot himself. In the light of the importance of the issue and its pivotal role in understanding the poetry of Yusuf al-khal, in particular, and contemporary Arabic poetry, in general, the present study tries to reveal Eliot's influence on the thought, view and poetic form of Yusuf al-Khal through a descriptive-analytical method. One of the most important achievements of this research is that Yusuf al-Khal's concept of poetry is in line with Eliot's poetic concept in areas such as the application of historical or mythical induction, depicting the problems of a generation and a nation, Christian or Tamuzi approach.

        This comparative study throws light upon common and uncommon points in drawing of the west and the east images. The study uses achievements of both American and Russian schools in comparative literature. Across this study we see that similar conditions of life in both Arab and Iranian societies make texts similar: a consideration between human, especially women, status in Iran and Arab region. In the two stories, the East appears to be a place of violence and social and political repression, while the West is a shelter from oppression against women. What distinguishes the two texts in relation to the East and West is that Ghadaal-Samman describes in her story the cliché image of the East from the perspective of a Westerner, and deals with the identity crisis of the Arab human, where he sees himself in two different cultures while these two points were ignored by  Taraghi in her text.

Adam Olearius, the interpreter of the mentioned conceal left an Itinerary in concern with Iran.The odes of Hafez were translated, for the first time, by Germans such as Reviczki and Hammer. Goethe was inspired by the named translation and compiled a book about Hafez and his odes, which was called Wesernt- Eastern Diwan. After Goethe, there were many other orientalists, including Ruckert, Platen, Daumer, etc., who translated Hafez’s odes. The English also got familiar with Hafez in the 18th century. Thomas Hyde was the first one who translated Hafez’s first sonnet into Latin. William Jones was the first European to translate Hafez into French and English. After him, there were many others who translated Hafez into English, including Richardson, Gertrude Bell, and Nicholson, to name some.  The French were the last nation to get familiar with Hafez. Tavernier was the first French tourist who spoke of Hafez’s reputation among Iranians. Although some French translators, including Defremery, Nicolas, Devillers, Arthur Guy, and others, were influenced by Hafez’s poetry, none of them could translate Hafez’s Divan completely.   In America, too, the formation of Transcendentalism inspired Orientalism. Emerson, one of the founders of Transcendentalism, was the first one who translated Hafez in America.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective Soil moisture is an important parameter in controlling many processes of the climate system, one of the basic parameters of the environment and its direct impact on the plant, animal and microorganisms, its importance in the global cycle of water, energy and carbon, the energy exchange between air and soil is known for its natural water cycle (especially in the distribution of rain between surface runoff and infiltration) and the management of water and soil resources. Soil moisture plays an important role in the interactive processes between the atmosphere and the earth and global climate change. Triangular and trapezoidal methods combining thermal and visible data are the most commonly used methods for determining the amount of soil surface moisture. The aim of this study is to estimate the surface moisture of the soil (TVDI), by the triangular method in the south of West Azerbaijan province using land temperature index (LST) and vegetation index (NDVI), during 2010, 2014 and 2018. Materials and Methods The present study using MODIS timing series images, NDVI index and LST index, to estimate the surface moisture index (Temperature–Vegetation Dryness Index, TVDI), in three time periods including; the first time period from 1 January 2010 to 30 December 2010 and the second period is from 1 January 2014 to 30 December 2014 and the third period is from 1 January 2018 to 30 December 2018. During each period, 12 images were used on the 15th day of each month. Also, surface moisture was estimated by two methods, one was to establish a high regression relationship and remove the minimum temperature, and the second method was to establish a high and low regression relationship of the pixels. To evaluate the accuracy of these two methods, a regression correlation between the results of these methods with the soil surface moisture content of the Agricultural Jihad (30 points) at a depth of 5 to 15 cm was used. The reason for choosing these three years is due to the difference in high rainfall in some months of the studied years. This study was conducted in the south of the province of West Azerbaijan, which is part of the western region of Iran. Results and Discussion The evaporative triangle diagram consisting of the vegetation index and the surface temperature of the earth in 2010 from January to December month has seen many temperature changes. These same changes in the Earth's surface temperature have caused that the graphs have many changes. During the 2010 year, according to the chart, the maximum temperature was August and the minimum was January, and the maximum vegetation was May and the minimum was December. In 2014, the maximum temperature in August and the minimum in January and the maximum vegetation in May and the minimum in January and also this year were relatively warmer and drier than in 2010. The evaporative triangle chart in 2018 is rainier than the other two years studied, and the amount of vegetation and according to the graphs in this year, the maximum temperature in July and the minimum is January and the maximum vegetation is May and the minimum in January. The surface moisture level of the soil in 2010 for the western region of Iran, which is the maximum moisture level in May and the minimum in August. In most of the 2010 moisture index maps, the maximum humidity in the west and the lowest in the South of this region. The results of the moisture index maps in 2014 this year have been relatively drier than in other years studied. In 2014 has little rainfall and vegetation. Humidity changes this year are lower than in 2010. The maximum and minimum humidity in 2014 was between 0 and 0.6. The maximum humidity is June and the minimum is August. The TVDI moisture index maps for 2018 have had more moisture indicators this year than in the other two years. In 2018, heavy rains caused the vegetation to increase and the ground temperature to decrease, and this has led to an increase in the moisture index compared to 2010 and 2014. In 2018, the vegetation reached 0.89. But in other years it has been studied up to 0.7. This year, the high humidity is in May and the lowest in August. The maximum humidity during this year is in the west and the lower is in the south. The results of the TVDI index for 2010, 2014 and 2018, using the second method, the general results of this method are similar to the first method. Based on the results obtained from the accuracy of both methods, we conclude that the accuracy of the first method is better and generally simpler than the second method. In 2018, in May, according to the first method, the amount of R2 = 0.67, and also according to the second method, the amount of R2 = 0.41. Conclusion Estimation of surface soil moisture is essential for optimal management of water and soil resources. Surface soil moisture is an important variable in the water cycle of nature, which plays an important role in the global balance of water and energy through its impact on hydrological, ecological and meteorological processes. Examination of the two methods used indicates that the first method, which was also used in this research in general, has higher accuracy than the terrestrial fields due to the results of image accuracy.  In 2010, the months of May and August, according to the first method are R2 = 0.61 and 0.57. In 2010, the amount of R2 according to terrestrial data and the use of the second method in May and August are R2 = 0.43 and 0.47. Also, in 2018, the value of R2 using the first method in May is 0.66. In 2018, the value of R2 using the second method in May is 0.41. The results of the soil surface moisture index, in this study, showed that this model is able to estimate the amount of soil moisture in large geographical areas with acceptable accuracy. http://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.26767082.1400.12.1.3.4 Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective Soil as a heterogeneous natural resource and the largest organic carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems is composed of complicated processes and mechanisms. The necessity of accurately estimating soil properties on the national and regional scales for improving soil management, and understanding their influence on agriculture have resulted in attracting researchers’ attentions to this field. Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is considered as an indicator of soil quality in fertility and food production. It is also considered as a key variable in environmental and agricultural issues. Thus, using rapid and cost effective and more accuracy estimation of the SOM content in soil resources assessment and management can be helpful. In precision agriculture, the scale of soil data required for management of lands and products is very large. The scale of collecting filed data usually cannot fulfil those needs. Sampling, preparing and analyzing the large number of soil samples as well as producing the distribution map for large areas are very difficult. In addition, traditional laboratory methods of soil analysis are boring, time-consuming, and costly. In fact, they need specialized laboratory operators. The aim of the present study is to compare the performance of the two Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) and Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) for predicting SOM using VNIR spectrometry data. With the use of combining Wavelet transform and diagnosis of independent bands, noises existing in soil spectroscopic data has reduced. In addition, independent and effective spectra and bands in spectroscopy of SOM were selected. Consequently, in the present research, Wavelet-PCA-PLSR and Wavelet-PCA- BRT models were developed and performance were assessed.Materials and Methods 42 surface (0-30cm) soil samples in the heterogeneous areas of urban-agricultural regions in Tehran province were collected. Soil Organic Carbon (OC) measured using Walki Black method and the samples’ spectrums were measured by ASD FieldSpec-3 spectrometer. First and second derivitation of spectral reflectance and absorbance were calculated. To reduce noises and smooth the spectrum, Sym8 matrix function of wavelet transform was used, wavelet transform is conducted to show and reconstruct characteristics in the spectrum. Principal component analysis and Hotelling's T2 test with 95% confidence level were used for outlier detection. PLSR and BRT was conducted onreflectance, absorbance and their first and second derivatives, at five levels of wavelet transform. Then, by comparing the results, the appropriate model was selected via validation. For doing the PLSR in nonlinear data, Kernel functions were used. When using numerical samples, regression trees are used instead of decision trees. But their processes are the same. In regression trees, the greedy algorithm was used. Therefore, by answering the binary question through which node the maximum data about respons variable is obtained, the root node and its two children are obtained. Producing the structure of trees is recursively repeated and a typical stopping criterion is considered. The stopping criterion can be as achievement to a split which cannot be divided and provides fewer data, or when data in the node contain 5% of the total data. Moreover, the tree size should be minimized. For splitting the node, the Ginny factor, entropy factor, etc. were used for minimizing those factors. In addition, the total square error is calculated in each branches and those with minimized values are selected. In addition, in the regression tree, the pruning process is employed for over-fitting. The BRT consists of the two regression tree and boosting techniques for improving the predictability of each of them. For calibration and validation of the model, 30 and 12 soil samples were randomly selected, respectively and R2 and RMSE were used for quantify the accuracy of models. Moreover, to select the best production factor of the PLSR mode, explained variance residual values and RMSE of validation were considered. Finally, soil organic matter map was produced using Landsat OLI satellite imagery and the proofed method for the study area.Results and Discussion The SOM value acceptably, the creation of continuous mappings with more accuracy based on noise reduction and retention of suitable data have always received researchers’ attentions. The present study tried to find the better method such a more accurate quantization of SOM using soil spectroscopic data. Using wavelet transform and outlier removal based on Hotelling's T2 via the PCA, the suitable data were extracted for producing the more accurate quantization. In this method, independent and effective bands or spectra remain in the model, while Lin et al. used wavelet transform and correlation techniques for selecting appropriate bands in estimating SOM. Since the soil reflectance is more complex and affected by several factors, using correlation method in these heterogeneous areas such as the area studied in the present study does not lead to acceptable results. Considering the data values, the unsupervised PCA method calculates principle components and eigenvalues and eigenvectors. It also tries to maximize the covariance matrix based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). SOM estimation models were developed using the PLSR and BRT for reflectance and absurbance spectra and their first and second derivation. Based on the results, the BRT method with RMSE and R2 values as 0.58 and 0.94, respectively leads in the better results for the data of the second derivation of reflectance. Moreover, values of RMSE and R2 in the PLSR were obtained as 1.0338 and 0.938, respectively for the data related to the second derivation of reflectance. However, comparing RMSE of the BRT and PLSR shows better results of the BRT model.Conclusion In that field measurements of chemical properties of soil such as organic matters are critically time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, measuring those properties is not possible in the large samples. So, the results of the present study indicate that in heterogeneous agricultural-urban areas, potential of the developed models such as wavelet-PCA-PLSR and wavelet-PCA-BRT can be used for estimating SOM. Meanwhile, these two algorithms do not make distributional assumptions and therefore, there are no strong assumptions about normality. Using continuous functions and satellite imagery, the map of the level of SOM in large scales can be prepared in order that it can be utilized in studies such as cultivation potential, soil fertility, and sustainable development of soil.

        In this research, the spatiotemporal variations of snow-covered days (SCDs) in this region were analyzed using the data of the sixth version of MODIS Terra and MODIS Aqua sensors on a daily basis in the period of 2003-2020. In order to reduce the cloud cover effect, three algorithms were applied to the data. For the digital elevation model, the Digital Surface Model (DSM) of the Japan Space Exploration Agency was used. The relation between two snow-cover phenological components (SCAs and SCDs) and the relation between the SCDs and the altitude were investigated. The findings show an increase in SCDs in the months of November, December, and January. Maximum SCDs are observed in January in Sabalan Mountain and then Sahand. The reduction of SCDs in the spring and summer months is also affected by the two factors of latitude and altitude. The absolute maximum of SCDs in this region is observed at 160 days/ year in the mountain of Sabalan. Examining the changes in SCDs in March and April shows a decrease in SCDs in high-altitude classes. At the same time, it shows the increasing pattern of SCDs in November and December at many altitude levels. Analysis of the relation between SCA and SCDs in different months illustrated that SCAs has decreased in regions with more SCDs (heights) due to the reduction of topographic areas. The relation of SCDs and altitude also showed that the minimum of SCDs occurred in all altitude levels (even altitudes above 3500 m with 4 days) in August and the maximum occurred in December with 22 days at the altitude of 3500 m. SCDs decrease with increasing altitude in mountainous areas of 3500 to 4000 m, due to the increase of land slope and instability of SC in steep areas. Manuscript profile

        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 & 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

        Precipitation variable is the key parameter of agricultural and hydrometeorology studies. Therefore, measurement and estimation of rainfall at the regional level  help to understand the manner of water and energy cycles.  In spite of the high variability of temporal and spatial precipitation quantity, precipitation monitoring using ground stations at regional scales is considerably difficult. The use of satellite images with high spatial resolution is therefore recommended. However, it is first necessary to evaluate temporal and spatial accuracy of data. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite data for estimating daily, monthly, and annual rainfall on a regular spatial scale (0.25° ×0.25°) during 2000-2012, and to compare these estimated data with precipitation data at 30 stations (synoptic and climatological) in the west boundary basin of Iran. The Pearson correlation coefficient was  calculated daily, monthly, and annually for the mentioned rainfall period changes. The results indicated a significant correlation (p<0.05) among the monthly and annual  collected data of terrestrial and satellite precipitation. The relationship between monthly precipitation data from satellite images and observed data from stations were also determined using a linear and nonlinear regression for each year. The model reliability was also subsequently determined using statistical validation. Manuscript profile

        Due to the fact that during the past decade or so the studies and researches conducted on Rumi and his works of art has been on the rise in Iran and the West, the time is ripe that these number of researches with such an inclusive approach could be pathologically investigated. This paper on Rumi studies tries to investigate on two areas on “Rumi Studies and West” as well as “Redundant Studies” during the studies relevant to such a great man of literature, culture, and mysticism of Iran, with an emphasis on academic studies, and the result has been the fact that Iranians are to blame concerning Rumi Studies and West and have neglected the means of cultural interaction with the West through Rumi; Also, in terms of transferring the concepts, information, and the Iranian research conclusions to the West, they have not taken any desirable actions so much that there has been a different image introduced to the West. Moreover, this paper declares the  most prominent research plague about Rumi conducted in Iranian research and studies in the form of books, papers, theses, and research plans to be redundancy, parallelism, and plagiarism for which there are some solutions offered to get rid of these plagues and to prevent from further damages.

        Introduction: Greenhouse whitefly, as an economic pest, has a wide and ubiquitous host range and causes great damage to many crops, including greenhouse plants. Due to the morphological characteristics and potential of resistance to chemical toxins, it is necessary to find suitable and compatible compounds for integrated control of this pest by increasing the effect and minimizing the adverse effect on the pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.Methods: In this study, the effect of pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana alone and in combination with silica nanoparticles against second instar seeds and nymphs of Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood and germination power of pathogenic fungi using probit analysis, one-way analysis of variance and ANOVA SPSS software was examined.Results: LC50 values obtained from probit degradation as a result of the effect of different concentrations of silica nanoparticles and Beauveria bassiana against eggs after 7 days and against second instar nymph after 72 hours (643.97 mg / L and 170399 conidia/ ml) and (602.952 mg / L and 78379 conidia/ ml) were obtained, respectively.Results: According to the results of the present study, silica nanoparticles alone have higher toxicity than other treatments and in combination with B. bassiana can be used in integrated control of the important greenhouse whitefly pest. The most important advantage of using these compounds is their compatibility with the environment and the lack of resistance to insects against them.  Manuscript profile

        The recent research purpose was to investigate the cultural and intellectual consequences of the western civilization invasion with emphasis on Iranian women. The statistical universe of the study included all cultural and intellectual consequences of the western civilization invasion. The sample embraced the subjects associated to the impacts of the western civilization invasion on Iranian women. A descriptive-analytical method was applied in the research. The data was collected via the library texts and note taking on the index cards. Then the mutual relationship of the western civilization with culture and thought and western civilization invasion consequences on culture and worldview of Iranian women was analyzed. The results revealed that the thought, culture and western civilization were correlated. And it was not necessarily a liner and longitudinal. On some cases the civilization transition of a pattern to another civilization pattern, would also transfer the latent thought of one to the other one. By western civilization accumulative transition, on the primary step, the Iranian women encountered changes on cultural context through virtue, hijab and Islamic identity and…fadedness. On the next step changes on worldview domain was observed. The impacts of western civilization spread were not merely included Iranian culture and caused the values and Islamic and Iranian traditions to be faded but in the further steps the Iranian worldview was also targeted.

        The current research was intended to investigate the psychological status of women in Islam and western civilization based on the ideological paradigm of the supreme leader. The statistical universe of the research included all texts concerning the psychological status of women in Islam and western civilization based on the ideological paradigm of the supreme leader. The sample subsumed all topics related to women included in Islam and western civilization based on the ideological paradigm of the supreme leader. The research was processed by analytical-descriptive approach. The data was collected via document reviewing and library method through note taking on index cards from printed references concerning the ideological paradigm of the supreme leader and psychology. The data was analyzed by applying content analysis procedure. The results indicated that The family is one of the most important institutions in society, and it provides the strongest foundations for the spiritual and intellectual upbringing of individuals. Within such institution, women play a central role, but Western political and advertising systems seek to undermine their status. According to the Supreme Leader's perspective, Western civilization focuses solely on the sexual and feminine aspects of women while ignoring their human dimension and status. In the West, women are exploited under the guise of freedom, which is a form of slavery and insult to women. In contrast, Islam honors women and considers being a woman a source of pride and glory. Therefore, the Islamic perspective, and consequently that of the Supreme Leader, regards women with a comprehensive view that takes into account both divine values and human logic. Manuscript profile

        The current paper aimed at utilizing the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework in evaluating the Customs Department in West Azerbaijan, Kermanshah and Kurdistan provinces of Iran. The BSC evaluates organization in terms of financial performance, customer satisfaction, internal process, and growth and organization learning. Financial performance was measured by examining revenues, expenditures, and the ratio of customs revenues to total local revenues for the period (2007-2011). Regarding the customer perspective, a random sample of (384) customers of clearance customs was selected. The customers were asked to fill out a survey that measured their level of satisfaction about the Customs Department in regards to providing services and procedures. In addition, a random sample consisted of (280) of the employees of Customs Department in these provinces was chosen to fill out the survey regarding their assessment of the internal process and growth and organization learning perspectives of the BSC. The findings reported that the financial performance of Customs Department was negative for the whole study period (2007-2011) in terms of the number of Rials collected, revenues minus expenditures, and customs revenues as a share of total local revenues. Clearance customs customers reported a suitable satisfaction level toward the customs services and procedures. Analysis showed that customs employees had a suitable level of satisfaction toward both internal process and growth and organization learning of the BSC’s dimensions. The analysis revealed that West Azerbaijan province was better than Kermanshah and Kurdistan provinces in all perspectives of BSC.  Manuscript profile

        In fact, the lifestyle includes all the states of human life from birth to death, based on which a person has a special way that is either derived from a school or has happened to societies over time. Lifestyle includes many things such as food, clothing, health, housing, customs, culture and social relations and has three types of worldly lifestyle, western lifestyle and divine lifestyle. The divine lifestyle is taken from the religion of Islam and it is the best style that does not go the way of extremes or exaggerations but of moderation. But unfortunately, we are witnessing the expansion of the western lifestyle among the youth. This issue has been carefully considered by the Supreme Leader, and he has proposed consequences such as provoking conflicts among Muslims, activating evangelistic activities (Christianization), creating conflicts and differences among young people in his statements, and solutions such as loving hearts. Internationally, they have raised the necessity of controlling extremism and Islamic awakening to reduce the western lifestyle, which has been addressed in this article with a descriptive-analytical method and with library tools, with the aim of recognizing the harms and opportunities that arise from the lifestyle. Life affects the social and political system, identify and design the necessary decisions and strategies for it. One of the findings of the article is that the Islamic world needs awakening, but it faces two big obstacles: the first obstacle is the colonialists who look at them as markets and tools and do their best to divert the awakening of Muslims. They give, among other things, the strengthening of reactionary, fanatical and backward Muslims in all places, and secondly, there are autocratic rulers who acted as agents of colonialism and did not refrain from any action to stay in power, and while destroying and destroying their society and people, they tried They will be in power for a few more days.

        Naturalism was a literary movement taking place from the 1880s to 1940s that used detailed realism to suggest that social conditions, heredity, and environment had inescapable force in shaping human character. Naturalism is the outgrowth of literary realism, a prominent literary movement in mid-19th-century France and elsewhere. Naturalistic writers were influenced by Darwin’s theory of evolution, philosophical-literal ideas of Taine and experiments of a physiologist named Claude Bernard. Also, philosophical opinions of Kant and Taine which were based on interpretations of social life and relationships influenced the principles of naturalism importantly. Thus, Naturalists believe that people’s behavior has the tendency to be objectified and treated like a machine and it would be impossible to judge it morally because of heredity, environment and moment is inevitable. Hence, we can have knowledge of the mechanisms of natural phenomena in man to define rational and emotional parts of his being which are under the influence of heredity, environment, and the moment. This paper aimed at identifying and describing the naturalistic aspects of Mahmoud Dowlatabadi stories. Naturalistic analysis of his stories can help us to have better in depth insight of his ideology. Manuscript profile

        Regional dust storm events are the prime concern of many countries located within the arid belt of the world. Nowadays, dust is a serious challenge in the world, especially in the Middle East. In recent decades, dust storms is known as the most damaging and inclusive environmental crisis in Iran due to the impacts of climate and land use changes. The aim of this study is to detect and simulation of dust storms in southwest regions of Iran. For this purpose, changes in dust were analyzed during a 22-year period (1995-2016) for six provinces southwest of Iran including Khozestan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari, Lorestan and Kohgiluyeh, and Boyerahmad with an area of about 169266 square kilometers. For this study were using the HYSPLIT model. The data used covered and include GDAS data, view field, velocity and direction of a wind, temperature, and geopotential height in the atmosphere, which are different at various levels. GDAS data for tracking the winding path in the HYSPLIT model were used. Simulation studies of dust particle movement paths have shown that most of the tracks are from the northern and central parts of Iraq and Syria and the source of dust storms are deserts and dry regions of the northern and central parts of Iraq and Syria.

        The Sarfirouz Abad plain in Iran, which is located on the east side of Mahidasht and west of Central Zagros, has a great potential for the archaeological studies. Nevertheless, due to the lack of archaeological research here, it is now considered to remain archaeologically a less known area. Its geographical location and environmental potentials make it necessary to perform a systematic archaeological research process. Due to this requirement, the SF area was surveyed using an intensive field walking process by a team from Tehran University during a few months in 2009. This fieldwork provided data and for the first time added much useful information to expand our knowledge on the archaeology of the region in general and the Neolithic settlements in particular. From the findings gained through this study, 17 sites were found to have remains attributable to the Neolithic Period. Recent studies show that in SF, settlement began in the early Neolithic Period; three of these sites were identified in various parts of the area. Fifteen locations with settlement and pottery remains showed evidence of the middle and late Neolithic periods. An investigation of the settlement patterns of these Neolithic sites reveals a strong relationship to natural resources, particularly water and sources of flint. With the commencement of pottery in the area, significant changes occurred in the location patterns of the sites. The present study investigates the characteristics of potteries found from site surfaces and developed an interpretation of the Neolithic settlement patterns of the area. Manuscript profile

        Having a glance at the archaeological data in North West of Iran during prehistoric era, we can see that most studies in the area focused on the edge of Urmia Lake. Unfortunately, most of the studies which have been done in the North West are related to the Bronze Age and later periods, and fewer studies have been done on the Chalcolithic period. Moreover, most of the information published about this area, is related to the same time periods. There is little information about Dalma Period and related publications do not exceed the fingers of one hand. For this reason, most researchers, due to the complexity and lack of knowledge about this period, refer to it as Wonder Period. In particular, Dalma period and the area of its development are surprising and noteworthy for them. One of the shortcomings is Dalma pottery. In this article, we review the Dalma pottery in the regions of East and West Azarbaijan and Kermanshah to provide a rather clear picture of Dalma pottery tradition. Generally, Dalma pottery is classified as four categories which probabely have specific functions depending on their coverage and form. Manuscript profile

        Studies related to the historical period of Elam have correctly found that there are many unknowns in the history of Elamite governments. We still do not know many of the Elamite regions mentioned in Elamite and Mesopotamian tablets and inscriptions. We do not have complete command of the Elamite script as it should, and we do not have a lot of knowledge about the livelihood and daily life of the Elamites. This lack is more visible especially in the areas that have been less explored so far. Archaeological excavations in Fars and Khuzestan by Iranian and foreign archaeologists during the past century provide information about the way of life and religious thoughts of that period. However, one of the intellectual concerns of archaeologists has always been the relationship between the mountain people of Fars and the people who lived in the lowlands of Khuzestan. This process can be investigated from prehistoric times to modern times and can be comprehensively researched through archaeological excavations. One of the recently excavated sites is called Tel Bando. The results of the five seasons of archaeological excavations at Tel Bando provide us with many documents related to the way of life and social conditions of this mountainous region from the beginning of writing to the Achaemenid period. The obtained evidences show that this area was influenced by the prehistoric cultures of Fars region from the Bakun A period to the present day, it was the settlement of nomadic or sedentary tribes who chose this place for their temporary or permanent settlement.

In this article, we will discuss about the process of invasions of these new-comer people from eastern north borders to the Territory of Sassanid Empire. The main goal of this article is to survey and show the manner of cultural relationship and interaction of Sassanid culture and civilization with these people and capacity of culture acceptance with these cultures and tensions or accomplished developments in this mutual confrontation. Several multi dimensional contacts between Iran and its eastern neighbours in most of the cases had been compressed and foreign cultures had interacted and principally the culture that has deeper origin will have more effects in the culture of its opponent. In this time importance of eastern part of Iran was in the extent that this region had become one of the main obsessions of Sassanians and some agents of Sassanid government in Koshan (Koshan Shah) and Sakestan (Sokan Shah). In the absence of any written resources, archaeological findings reflect required informations. From among the most important of these archaeological findings, are Sassanid coins that to some extent determine the governments' territory. These coins were imitated and sampled by the kings of Gajarat, Koshan and Hons. Hons were highly influenced by Sassanid culture and transferred it to India and paved the way for immigration of Zoroastrian Iranian to this region in the later periods. Manuscript profile

        This article is an attempt to introduction and studying if dozen caves that used of them in the period of Dalma (Middle Chalcolithic). The use of caves is one of the sign of the pastoralism (both permanent and temporary), nomadism and especially transhumance pastoralism. In the base of available evidences in this study area could be posed the transhumance pastoralism strategy in the life in this period. The position of the caves and the sever accessibility of them is showed that use of this caves is probably impermanent and limited in the special season and when the nomadic pastoral have taken their flocks to the mountains. One of the property of these caves are their height, sever accessibility and narrow entrance and seems that safety (wild animal of cold temperature at night), accessibility of different pastures have been involved at the use of them.

        One of the periods and culture in northwest of Iran which is of little attention is the period of Chalcolithic and Dalma pottery tradition. Unfortunately our information about this period is so slight and it is limited to some brief essays and reports. This pottery tradition have relatively vast extension basin from northwest to central Zagros, and it includes painted, manipulated decoration (Incised, Impressed, Punched and Adjunct), plain pottery with red slip. It seems that painted potteries are the continuation of previous period, Hjifiruz, and potteries with manipulated decoration don’t have any record in the area and probably entered this area from another area. Unluckily, although various models and views about the extension of Dalma tradition has been presented, there is no information about how it has been extended. Has the extension of this pottery been occurred by the migrations or nomad? Has the transmission of Lightness The idea been influential in the meantime or other factors? This obscurity still remains in force because of the lack of accurate territorial and extraterritorial investigations. Manuscript profile

        Rabat Tepe II is located in west Azerbaijan province and eastern side of Lower Zab river. Until now, three seasons of archeological excavation performed in this arae. The location of Rabat Tepe in south-east of Mannean domain was influenced by two powerful empires namely Assyrian and Urartian. The effect of these two empires to each other in one side and getting familiar with the vague points of these sovereignties in North west of Iran in an other side increase the archeological aspect of studies and research in Rabat TepeII. The result of these three seasons research is achieving to a lot of potteries, bricks and architectural documents that some of them were discovered for the first time in Northwest of Iran. Rabat tepe earthen wares found in Sardasht are almost similar to those achieved primarily from Galaichi in Bokan. These findings have important role in studying arthistic and technological contexts and help us to restudy the religious, political and social aspects of this area inhabitants. One point which increases the importance of these bricks is the existence of epigraphical clinker bricks. By translation and interpreting of these bricks the name of Mannaean gods, country and province was appeared. Undoubtedly, comprehensive recognition of discovered bricks in this site which spend its first years of excavations can be a proper basic for scientific classification of these precious findings.  Manuscript profile

Beside these archaeological inscribed documents, namely: Two Assyrian cuneiform inscriptions of Marlik cylinders,one urartian cuneiform inscription of Tool-e Talesh metal bracelet, and the other two Urartian inscribed pieces, the author has bored in mind the historical literature about the Indo-Iranian immigration in the early centuries of the 1st Millennium BC into Iran, and their settlements in the north and northwest of Iran, by the name of Caspies, Kadusies, Gils, Gutians, Lulubians and etc., who later, they stablished the small local kingdoms like Andiu, Manna, Parsua, Zamua , Gilzan, which at last their unions led to the foundation of Medes great government. The author at the end of article has come to this conclusion that, since from the Medians, despite their powerful empire, not a single inscription has ever been found, therefore most probably, because of lacking of writing, they also, like their united, above mentioned small kingdoms, have used the neighboring lingo-franca Aramaic or other cuneiform writings, like Assyrian or Urartian. This is what, the mentioned inscribed artifacts, based on the extant documents, which tell us how the peoples in north and northwest of Iran ,who later founded the Medes Empire, in 8th and 9th centuries B.C. were also deprived of any indigenous, and independent, writing system.  Manuscript profile

        The Quazvin plain along with the heights that overlook it is one of the important centers of foundation and development of human culture in Iranian Flat in different eras. The focus of archeological studies in recent decades on Quazvin plain and scientific archeological studies in heights overlooking the plain especially southern mountainsides has made the Alborz mountains inevitable for study. In this research¸ the results from a number of archeological findings and recent studies can get a view of the position of the area in prehistoric eras¸ past history and the history of Islam. For this purpose¸ three villages, i.e. , Ziaran Estern and Western mountain sides of Abyek city and the village of Eastern Eghbal locating at the territory governed by central part of Qazvin were studied. We studied 89 archeological sites and also a considerable number of mentioned and unmentioned works including stone tools, sculpture, metal tools and so on were identified and discovered we dealt with them in this research. The results from this research reveal that with regard to 7 sites related to the period of Paleolithic which had stone tools and traces that are the characteristics of middle and new Paleolithic. We can say that in the period of Paleolithic the heights of this area were of the important habitats of people in the North of Iranian Flat. Although the identification of traces and cultural materials of the period of chalcolithic (2 cases) and the bronze age (3 case) show the continuation of living of people in the mentioned era, the identification of a great number of sites of Iron age (21cases) and Parthian (38 cases) shows the witnesses of habitats and settlement of human communities (Regarding both the quality and quantity of witnesses) from the second half of the second millennium BC until the first half of millennium A.C Forwards movement regarding the vast number of sites and areas and cultural heritage of different Islamic periods (47 cases) in the course of Islamic periods that has moved ahead.  Manuscript profile

        Towards the end of the fourth millennium BC, a culture was formed in the Caucasus, northwest Iran and eastern Anatolia, which extended to Central Zagros, central Iran, and northern Iran, and present-day Palestine. Or the culture of Kora-Aras is famous. In this period, northwestern Iran is witnessing an increase in the size of the sites, a sudden change in pottery, and also an unprecedented increase in the number of settlements, which indicates the influence of a new cultural tradition. The tradition of painted chickpea pottery of the previous period (Chalcolithic) is almost obsolete and black-gray pottery is replaced by engraved pottery. Simultaneously with the influence of Kora-Aras culture to the northwest of Iran, the Chaldoran region is also affected by the influence of Kora-Aras culture. Tepe Gavar Qalehsi is a settlement in the middle mountain plain of Chaldoran, which has evidence of Kora-Aras culture. This place, which is located 23 km northwest of Chaldoran city, was identified and examined to visit the city's monuments. The results of archaeological research indicate that this place is a single settlement that was formed in the late fourth millennium and early third millennium BC and has traces and evidence (stone architecture and gray pottery) of this cultural period. The pottery of this area has the most similarities with the pottery of Yaniq Tappeh, Kohnshahr Chaldoran, Baruj Marand, Dozdaghi Khoy, and Kol Tappeh II of the Republic of Azerbaijan. In this study, the collected pottery in the archeological study of Gavar Qaleh Si is studied and archaeological analysis. Manuscript profile

        Research and exploration on discovered Urartian metal findings from Iran’s ancient sites, now kept in Iran’s Archaeology museum, constitutes the main subject of the current article, in which with regard to structural techniques such as casting, moulding, brazing and…, metal working has been studied as one of the most distinguishing artistic and industrial elements of the first millenniums BC civilization. As a result of the research and comparison of applied techniques on mentioned findings, it turns out that Urartian metalworking in Anatolia territory-backed by thousand years experiments of craftsmen of this land-had reached its peak and was carried out with great dexterity, especially in the context of casting of delicate objects such as arrow heads and safety pins with a chain. After arriving in Northwest Iran this art was influenced by technical and artistic experiments of northwest metal working, although, regarding structure and from, metal productions of Northwest Iran were exactly similar to Anatoli samples some artistic and industrial elements of Northwest Iran metalworking had appeared in them. Further, Northwest Iran metalworkers following Urartian industrial techniques and forms had applied their local techniques and experiments in producing metal products.

Therefore, the condition of wisdom from his point of view is to accept the ritual of European civilization from heart and soul, and to develop our thinking for the evolution of history and the spirit of time. For this reason, he calls for fundamental reform in the apparatus of the Supreme Court, with the help of Western science and principles, which makes it a prerequisite for other developments. Against Islamists, there were Western-oriented intellectuals who were fascinated west and Western values, law and customary rule as well as separation of religion and politics, etc. This stream, which constituted a broad spectrum, suggested that Iran-Western prosperity is all about being Westernized by comparing and measuring Iran-West.

        As it stands today, medical science did not grow and develop overnight. This science has been formed due to the efforts of millions of people throughout the history of mankind. Meanwhile, the fact is that one of the standard bearers of this sacred responsibility (medical sciences) are Muslims. Muslims, during the Abbasid era, have developed this science more than any other civilization. Therefore, in this article, an attempt has been made to highlight the fact that the Renaissance of Europe is partly indebted to the inventions and discoveries of Islamic medicine of the Abbasid period, and the ways of transferring this science from the East to the West are documentedIn the upcoming research, in order to explain and analyze the progress of medical knowledge in the Abbasid era and the ways of its transfer to the West, the "diffusion theory" is used as the theoretical framework of the work. Based on this, the influential origin in the field of medical knowledge of the Islamic world in the Abbasid era is taken into account, and the influential destination is the Western civilization, and the ways and channels of transmission are mentioned along with its obstacles. The findings of the research show that medical knowledge was one of the first sciences that the Islamic world learned based on the medical data of Iran, India and Greece, and then developed it in the best possible way and spread it to other societies.

        Based on western travellersitineraries, Iranian physicians of 19th century all diseases, medications and nourishments into four groups of Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic and Phlegmatic and superstition was ruling over the realm of disease causes and their treatment. They thought that magic and charm could be of more benefit in disease prevention than clever care. However, setting aside the unaware and untrained pseudo-physicians, it is to be noted that there were physicians all around Qajar Iran who had been attending to scientific methods of medicine education and had gone so much further than their own time but lack of supervision over physicians’ activities, unaccounted entry of greedy people into the realm of medicine, and disappearance of specialization in treatment led the medicine science to superstition and being unscientific and left the scientific medicine in a weak and helpless position. The superstitious and reactionary ideas about Iranian medicine and treatment methods are cited in this research to show the general condition of Iranian physicians and medicine during Qajar era so that we could find out the why and how of regression in medicine and treatment methods of Iranian during the said era and its lagging behind the modern medicine. Therefore, through a comparative method and comparing the existing sources this research aimed to reflect the reality of medicine in Qajar Iran. Manuscript profile

Political philosophy and its role and relationship with the production of thought, knowledge, its impact and effectiveness on the political structure of Muslim societies in the West of Islamic civilization should be seen in the special view of Ibn Bajah in his work "Tadbir al-Mutawahid", Ibn Tufail in the sample of "Hayy Ibn Yaqzan" and Ibn Rushd searched philosophy with his methodology. Using a comparative method, in this paper, we have studied the relationship between knowledge and power in the minds of the above thinkers. The results of the paper were based on the precedence of knowledge over power in the thoughts of Ibn Bajah and Ibn Tufail. By supplementing the shortcomings in their philosophical concepts by confirming of Sharia and philosophy, Ibn Rushd emphasizes the special position of the philosopher in his desired political structure and the preference of the philosopher over the jurist in this structure.

The existence of despotic governments and relatively stable dictatorships has at least been governed by a threat balanced, state-owned security structure as part of the essence of the region. The rise of religious terrorism, extremism, and in particular its spread to al-Qaeda and Taliban groups and in the current era of ISIS, has gradually diminished this state-owned Westphalian order. In this article, the structure of the regional order of this part of the world in the post-war period and the situation of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic is examined. Given the realistic approach, the main claim of this article is that ISIS in the context of terror assimilation has transformed the pattern of balance of power into unstable patterns. Thus, in the post-war period, regional governments will experience close relations to strengthen their desired security order. This article is a library-based descriptive method.

        During the Qajar period, due to Iran's relationship with other countries and the changes that occurred in the cultural and political fields, differences were also created in the thoughts, trends and styles of Iranian art and architecture. These effects, which were mostly seen in the residential buildings of the nobility, have occurred in all the building components from the body to the decorations. This influence was to such an extent that at the end of the Nasrid period, the architectural style of the buildings was a fusion of the traditional architecture of Iran and the West. Therefore, the question is raised, what components of western culture and architecture have influenced the physical and decorative structure of the Qajar period garden mansion in Shiraz? Therefore, in the conducted research, it is tried to investigate the influence of Western architectural art and culture on them by examining the physical and decorative features of the Qajar era gardens in Shiraz city. The combined research design used in this research is the type of alignment design and convergent model. In the qualitative part, a case study Chaharbagh mansions related to the Qajar era in Shiraz city (Eram Bagh mansion, Afifabad Bagh mansion, Narenjestan Qavam Bagh mansion and Manshibashi Bagh mansion) has been done. The relevant data were collected through the researcher's visit and observation of the structures and the registration physical and decorative features in accordance with the research question. The analysis the findings showed that in decoration component, the results qualitative and quantitative findings support each other and show that the elements of western architecture are widely used in the decorative components of these buildings. At the same time, regarding the physical component, although the qualitative findings show the significant presence of western elements in the physical architecture of these buildings, according to the respondents, western architectural elements were seen to some extent in the volume composition and elements of these buildings, but they do not have a strong presence the body of the buildings compared to the decoration components. .As mentioned earlier, the art and architecture of the Qajar era, affected by the currents modernism and the changes and developments of modernism and westernism, took on a new shape and color, and the achievements the modern era can be clearly seen in the buildings and mansions this era. to be Although the Qajar architecture is derived from the traditional architecture of Iran, especially the architecture of the Safavid and Zandiya eras, but at the end of the Qajar era, the elements western architecture can be seen in all parts of the building, especially in the appearance of the building and decorations. Even the use of new materials that were used in Europe were also used abundantly in the buildings of this period.As seen in the theoretical foundations of the research, the art and architecture of the Qajar era was influenced by the art and architecture of the West and European countries, and the trends of the modernity and developments that were the results of the Western modernity era entered Iran in different ways during this period. The art and architecture of this era had an impact. These effects can be seen in the aristocratic houses and mansions built in the big cities of Iran such as Shiraz. In this research, the effects of western art and architecture were investigated in two areas, physical and decorative, in four mansions of Bagh Eshrafi in Shiraz city. First, it was found that physical factors such as extroversion, columns, capitals, and long and wide porches are among the western elements in the examined buildings, but almost all the decorative elements in the buildings are influenced by western art and architecture. They are combined with Iranian decorations.Therefore, according to the examination of the studied samples and the issues raised, it can be said about the influence of Western art and architecture on the architecture of the Qajar period mansions that the mansions built in the city of Shiraz during the Qajar era can be the most He observed the influence of western patterns, especially in the decoration of buildings, and it was such that the closer to the end of this era, the buildings were more oriented towards western architecture.

In this study, morphological characteristics, including the length of various parts of the pest body, were evaluated. Analyzing of the size of fore and hind wings results of the adults in this species, showed that there were seasonal dimorphism as long-winged (L.W.) and short-winged (S.W.) among the insects. Based on the literature available seasonal dimorphism in this species is the first report in the world, and probably each morph of this species is various in different both in the biology and behavior. Sexual dimorphism can be distinguished by study pattern of venation in the forewings of sexes. One of the important characteristics in distinguishing mole cricket species is arrangement spines in the fore and hind tibia where their numbers and sizes of these spines in various species are different. The fore tibia of insect has four wide and strong dactyls in its apex, but lateral margin of the hind tibia armed with five sharp spines with seven spines at the end of its tibia.  Manuscript profile

        This article investigates that how the “proxy resistance” strategy of Major General Qasem Soleimani has led to the weakening of the U.S. oriented political-security trends, ultimately providing the grounds for the gradual withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the areas of the axis of resistance. The hypothesis of this article is that with creation of a network of Iran’s friendly militia forces in the region and their overt and covert operations against the U.S. traditional hegemonic trend, commander Soleimani was able to heighten the costs of the direct presence American forces on the grounds in the West Asia region. Indeed, the U.S. inability to manage the regional crises in the post-conflict situation and its failure in the designated state-building projects has caused the weakening of U.S. role in the crises field of the region. This geopolitical development, has led to the inefficacy of the U.S. traditional role and influence over regional political groups in forming and continuing coalitional governments, subsequently providing the opportunity for opposing with the U.S. military presence in the host countries. To examine this hypothesis, the authors apply the defensive realism theory that considers the countries’ reaction to the threat in time of crisis based on increasing their relative security. The authors use historical-analytical method to conduct this research. Field and qualitative observations have also impacted the degree of authors’ understanding of this concept. In the end, this article concludes that the proxy resistance strategy of general Soleimani has weakened the position of the U.S. in world politics and before its regional allies, and this development has enhanced the regionalism trend in the West Asia region in favor of Iran.

        Cultural diplomacy is now accepted as a fundamental and influential principle in the field of international relations, and world politicians see the way out of human problems as the rule of culture in international relations. Referring to the intellectual-ideological system and the practical life of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei, it can be seen that his emphasis and priority in three areas, namely, reference, nature and addressee of diplomacy, in a positive way, means actions to be taken by institutions. It should be done by the people and the domestic government, and in its negative aspect, that is, resistance against the destructive actions taken by the enemy, it is based on the elements of soft power, which is the basis of action in cultural diplomacy. As the culmination of the Supreme Leader's belief in the importance of cultural diplomacy in his letter to Western youth in 1393 and 1394 and also the message to the French youth after the terrorist attacks in Europe and the growing color of Islamophobia project by Western powers . Therefore, the main question of the present study, which was written using a descriptive-analytical method, is: "How are these letters and messages in the direction and process of cultural diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran?" And why these letters were written, who the audience was and are, what goals it pursues and pursues, and how it leads to the strengthening of the cultural diplomacy of the Islamic Republic of Iran?

           Histamine as a primary heterocyclic amine has an important role in human physiology particularly in nervous system as a chemical mediator and neurotransmitter that was found in many foods such as cheese, milk, meat, fish, beer, wine and vegetables. Increasing of histamine concentration in foods is often related to low quality of raw materials, contamination, improper food processing or storage. Therefore, the amount of histamine content is used as a good indicator of hygienic quality in foods and the degree of freshness or spoilage of foods. Histamine can cause symptoms in sensitive consumers such as: redness of face, sweating, palpitations, headache, oral burning and bright red rashes. Cheese provides an ideal environment for the production of proteolytic releases of free amino acids and biogenic amines such as histamine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of histamine in Koopeh cheese as one of the most popular types of traditional cheeses made from raw sheep milk or sometimes cow milk in West-Azerbaijan province, Iran. Experiments conducted by HPLC method on 70 samples of traditional Koopeh cheese revealed that the least amount of histamine was 2.43 ppm and the highest value was estimated at 1102.24 ppm. The average amount of histamine in cheese samples was 304.23 ± 150.89 ppm. Histamine production in cheese and other foods is based on the presence and growth of decarboxylase-positive microorganisms. Therefore, providing guidelines that reduce the population of these types of microorganisms will be effective on decreasing the amount of biogenic amines and histamine in particular.  Manuscript profile

        The causative agent of bovine theileriosis is obligatory intracellular protozoa called T. annulata which results in severe anemia, severe pulmonary edema and rapid death in non-native animals. The present study was aimed to detect the current state of Theileria infection in indigenous buffaloes and its association with environmental factors in four cities of West Azarbaijan province using microscopic tests (blood smear evaluation) and molecular assays. Blood samples were randomly collected from 291 buffaloes in the region, during March to July 2014. Direct and semi-nested PCR techniques were used to detect DNA of Theileria spp. using specific pair primer 18SrRNA. In the microscopic assay method, presence of this parasite in four (1.37%) buffaloes was approved. The molecular assays revealed that 4 out of 291 animals (1.37%) were infected by T. annulata. Also the present study showed that two female adult buffaloes (0.68%) were simultaneously infected by T. annulata and T. orientalis. Apparent and real prevalence of infection of buffaloes to T. annulata in the molecular method were 1.37 and 1 percent respectively. The chance of infection by T. annulata and T. orientalis were equal. Molecular prevalence of T. annulata in Urmia and Salmas were 2.2 and 2.3 percent respectively (p < /em><0.05). Molecular prevalence of T. orientalisin Urmia was 2.2%. This is the first study to indicate the presence of infection with T. orientalis in indigenous buffaloes of Urmia city in Iran.

        Identification and epidemiological survey of fungal infections at the hatcheries has great importance for prevention of mortalities and subsequent economic losses. In this survey, 5 rainbow trout hatcheries in west Azarbaijan province were investigated. Sample collection was conducted according to standards of Iranianveterinary organization. Water quality of the hatcheries was investigated as well. SDA (sabouraud dextrose agar) medium was used for fungal culture and identification of fungal type was based on microscopic examination of fungal reproductive organs. Four different genera of saprophytic fungi consisting of Saprolegnia sp., Penicillium sp., Aspergillus sp. and Achyla sp. were isolated from the 5 studied hatcheries. The genus Saprolegnia with 7.8±1.48% infection rate and Achyla with 0.8±0.83% infection rate had the highest and lowest prevalence respectively. Based on the results of this study, the sanitary conditions in hatcheries of west Azarbaijan province are not ideal with respect to fungal infections. Water quality of the hatcheries was acceptable therefore fungal infections are probably not associated with the water quality. Manuscript profile

        This study was designed to investigate the epidemiological distribution of B. bovis and B. bigemina using molecular method and related risk factors in a number of cattle in northwestern Iran. For this purpose, 153 blood samples were randomly collected in the East and West Azarbaijan provinces. The extracted DNA from blood cells was analyzed using a set of primers derived from the 18s rRNA gene for members of the genera Babesia by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A semi-nested PCR technique was used for the identification of B. bovis and B. bigemina species. Based on the results of the present study, out of 153 blood samples, 39 (25.49%) were infected with a species of Babesia protozoan parasite, one of which was simultaneously infected with both Babesia species, and B. bovis and B. bigemina were detected in 38 (97.43 %) and 2 (5.12 %) samples, respectively. Our findings showed a high prevalence of B. bovis in comparison with B. bigemina in the animals (24.83% vs. 1.30%). In present research, the prevalence of Babesia species in West Azarbaijan province was significantly higher than that in East Azarbaijan (70% vs. 30%). Risk factors analysis revealed that although statistically significant differences in the prevalence of the Babesiosis were observed based on climate, season, flock management, feeding and race (p < 0.05) but the effect of age, gender, and tick burden was not statistically significant. Our data provide valuable information regarding the epidemiology of B. ­bovis and B. ­bigemina infection in cattle in northwestern Iran which will likely be very beneficial for the management and control programs of the disease.

        Infection with the Salmonella genus of bacteria causes chronic and acute diseases in poultry leading to significant economic losses to the poultry industry. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibiotic resistance pattern of Salmonella serotypes isolated from a number of laying poultry flocks in the northwest of the country and to investigate its relationship with the performance of those farms. Eighty samples were taken from 20 flocks suspected of salmonellosis .The samples were cultured in selective and differential cultures of Salmonella. After isolation of Salmonella serotypes, the antibiogram test was performed to determine the antibiotic sensitivity. In order to check the performance of suspicious flocks, the history of the flock was obtained and the amount of mortality and production drop was calculated by statistical methods.The results indicated that 40% of the flocks were positive in terms of the presence of Salmonella, with 30% of the flocks affected by Salmonella gallinarum, 5% by Salmonella enteritidis, and 5% by concurrent presence of both Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella gallinarum. The highest antibiotic sensitivity of Salmonella serotypes was recorded from fosfomycin and danofloxacin with a frequency of 100% and soltrim with a frequency of 78.6%. The highest antibiotic resistance was observed against erythromycin with a frequency of 75% and chlortetracycline with a frequency of 53.6%. Based on the results, there was a statistically significant difference in  the amount of flock mortality and production drop between Salmonella negative and Salmonella positive herds (p<0.05). Also, more vigilant use of antibiotics is required due to the high levels of resistance shown by Salmonella against various antibiotic drugs. Manuscript profile

                The aim of this study is to determine the diameter and number of pancreatic islets of the duck. Histomorphometric studies were carried out on the pancreas of adult male and female domestic ducks of western Iran with an average age of 26-30 weeks using hematoxylin-eosin and special stainings, light microscope and ocular micrometer. The islet diameters were found to be between 65.7 and 115.2 microns. The ducks had fewer islets (42.87%) yet with greater diameters (95.9 microns) but in the drakes there were more islets (57.13%) with smaller diameters (83.5 microns). The least number of islets with the greatest diameter were observed in the ventral pancreatic lobe of female ducks while the most number of islets with the smallest diameter were seen in the ventral pancreatic lobe of male ducks. Overall it can be concluded that the diameter and number of pancreatic islets of the duck varies in different parts of the gland and between the sexes and there is an inverse relationship between them.

        Management is a behavior that the managers show according to their positions for managing the organization, and behavior is a component which is shaped and identified on the basis of thinking and value principles and which creates behavior differences. Management is not exception to this rule. The difference in managements and even in individuals refers to this point, too.The fundamental difference of  to Alavi culture from other cultures and especially the Western culture has also caused management to have a different nature and feature in this culture.   These differences have been demonstrated in different shapes, the most prominent of which are the Alavi management with the practical pattern of the management of Amir-al-momenin(peace be upon him) and the Omavi management under Moavieh's management,which can be studied in detail using the historical evidence.Considering this point in the article,we have tried to answer this fundamental question: What are the differences between the management in Alavi culture and other theories of management in the contemporary age?After doing some case studies and content analysis which lasted for three years, we came to this conclusion that the management in Alavi culture has some structural,content,and instrumental differences from the other theories.   Manuscript profile

        Frost is one of the natural events whose early and late occurrence can affect different aspects of human life. Therefore, this research has been carried out with the aim of predicting the atmospheric factors of this phenomenon with an environmental approach. For this purpose, the environmental data related to the daily minimum temperature of 2001-2017 for 9 synoptic stations located in Ardabil, Urmia and Tabriz provinces were obtained from the Meteorological Organization of the whole country and the days with temperature below 0 degrees Celsius that cover 40% of the studied area in were selected and using the ward hierarchical clustering method that was applied on the average sea level pressure maps related to ice days, the classification of the free days was done. In order to determine the representative of each class using scripting in the MATLAB environment, Lund's correlation was calculated between the maps of different days of each class of 2 to 5 groups with a coefficient of 0.5; And the days that had a correlation coefficient of 0.5 and the most similarity with the majority of days of that class were introduced as the representative of the group. After determining the representative day, atmospheric data was prepared from the Nova site and maps of sea level pressure, geopotential height, wind vector, temperature of 500 hPa and atmospheric thickness were drawn in Gurdes software. The results of the 4 patterns for ice days showed that the most effective systems on the northwest of Iran were high pressure systems in Siberia, low pressure systems near the Arctic and high pressure systems in Northern Europe, and the studied areas were located in the front of Faraz and the negative circulation of air brought stable conditions. In most of these patterns, the western winds that have moved in the polar ice channel have brought cold air from the northern latitudes into the atmosphere of the study areas and caused low air temperatures.

        Weather is considered as one of the most important factors shaping tourism, and tourism centers owe their existence and values to many factors, especially suitable weather conditions. In this research, in order to evaluate and zoning the ecotourism calendar in Kurdistan, Kermanshah and Hamadan provinces, Riemann model and Physiological Equivalent Temperature Index (PET) have been used. The comfort conditions of the tourism climate and heat and cold stresses in different days and months of the year were evaluated using the PET index and then zoned in the GIS environment by considering the altitude. The results of the research showed that in most parts of the western region of the country, such as the cities of Sanandaj, Hamedan and Kermanshah, the time of climatic comfort for tourism activities occurs in two separate periods. From the end of May to the middle of October, heat stress is observed and from the beginning of December to the end of March, cold stress is observed in the border areas of Kermanshah.Finally, tourism climate maps of the western region of the country were prepared based on altitude changes and taking into account the relationship between the physiological temperature index and altitude, and by analyzing these maps, suitable times for activities such as mountain climbing in the important heights of the region such as Alvand, Chihel Cheshme, Peru and Shahu were identified.

        The Northeastern slope of Karkas Mountain is regarded as part of the Karkas mountain range which is located in south west of Natanz County and has spread along northwest-southeast directions. The study area has been placed in volcanic stretch of Urmia-Dokhtar (Tabriz-Bazman) area. Shrew and Schtoklin (quoted in Paroohan, 2001), have announced this area to be a broken and active axis with regards to volcanism (during upper Cretaceous-Eocene) and plutonic (Oligocene and Miocene).The main fault of the area is part of Qom-Zafreh fault being started from south west of Natanz and continues toward Zafreh. It is a right-lateral strike-out fault which has dug out quaternary alluviums in the northern Natanz.The displacement of water courses is usually right-oriented and the youngest fault is seen due to this mechanism in young alluvial fans of south west heights of Kashan.For the recognition of tectonic activities in the area under study we have used various geomorphologic indexes such as the mountain front congregation, length gradient of the river, the ration of valley bottom to its height and the morphometry of alluvial fans.Results obtained indicate that Northwestern slopes of the Karkas Mountains are still tectonically active.

        The phenomenon of climate change is one of the vital issues for human beings today. Investigation of air temperature and precipitation in the second rainiest region of the country, namely the western half; It is important. In the present study, observational data of 51 meteorological stations in the region were used as baseline data. For the next period up to 2061 horizon, the output of simulation models in the fifth report of climate change was used in two models of induced upper and middle limits, as microscale data. The non-parametric Man-Kendall test was used to investigate the trend of changes in air temperature and precipitation series. The results showed that in the base period based on observational statistics, in most areas in the series and the pattern of air temperature, there is a significant upward trend. For rainfall, a significant decreasing trend was observed in most areas and a negative slope was observed in all stations. Evaluation of the output of the models in comparison with the base period showed that in the western and Zagros regions of the country, the minimum and maximum air temperatures in the coming decades in the upper and middle limits pattern, respectively, will increase by 3.1 and 1.1 ° C, respectively. Will have. Precipitation in some stations will increase slightly in the spring months, but in the annual pattern in most areas the precipitation will be lower than the base period. Therefore, the rainy region of the western half in the Zagros region of Iran will be accompanied by an increase in air temperature and a decrease in precipitation. Manuscript profile

        In this study, 10 precipitation systems were selected as prototypes between October and June 2016-2015. Then, 70 stations from the country's satellite stations were divided into four general groups in the south, southwest and center of Iran. The daily precipitation of the stations was extracted from each platform. To determine the patterns of precipitation occurrence in the Sudan low pressure region, atmospheric data from 1000 to 500 HPa are extracted from the NCEP / NCAR site and in the GRADS the maps of these ten systems were mapped. One of the most important systems that provide rainfalls in the Middle East is Sudan low pressure Lashkari (1996). The results showed that the systems entering Iran and the Middle East from the mentioned Sudan low pressure have a special mechanism. These systems have strong convection mechanisms because of having a thermal nature in their source and receiving a huge amount of moisture from the surrounding warm seas. They form deep boiling clouds and cause intensive and torrential showers when accompanied by deep waves in layers 700 and 850 HPa. Therefore, the cloud always forms in a convective way, and the height does not play a significant role in the intensification of its precipitations. In other words, it does not have a significant role by itself, at least in the windward slopes of the Zagros Mountains. The intensity of precipitation is, therefore, sometimes higher in the plains compared to the mountain summits. It seems heights play a more effective role in elevations above 1,500 meters in both windward and leeward slopes. However, in the Alborz mountain chain, there is a very clear and impressive correlation between precipitation and height because of re-creation of systems Manuscript profile

        Most of the settlements of Guilan province have certain natural constraints in physical development. In terms of geomorphology, these centers, in their physical development, have problems such as earthquakes, groundwater surface condition, forward and backward on the shores of the sea, flood, range of motion, etc. In many environmental management issues and land use, the most important and useful help of geomorphologist is displaying shapes and surface effects on the geomorphology maps, since the establishment and creation of settlements, above all, depend on normal conditions (geology, topographic, soils, hydrology, climate) and geographic location. Therefore, geomorphologic phenomena have a significant impact on the emergence, formation, distribution, and physical development of urban and rural settlements.This article is part of a research project under the same title (Preparing Geomorphologic Map of the West of Guilan with 1:25000 scale) which was conducted by the author in the West part of Guilan province; the results show that geomorphologic phenomena have an important role in the physical expansion of the settlements in the West of the province, some of which are the Caspian coastal sand dunes, steel wetlands (South West Astara), the Marine barracks around Choubar and Haviq, Global faults of Astara, and alluvial materials of Lavandevil, Choubar, and Haviq rivers, and range of processes, create some problems for the physical development of the settlements of the research area. Research method is based on form and process analysis on 1:25000 topographic maps, geology 1:100,000, aerial photographs, and, finally, at some stages of field visits, all the data on the land was evaluated. It is hoped that this work will provide a basis so that it would be possible to prepare these maps in broad national coverage for all the provinces, and give the report to the administrative organizations Manuscript profile

        Drought is a climatic phenomenon that is likely to occur in any region and leads to social, economic and environmental damage. Due to the importance of remote linking patterns and their impact on climate, therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between remote linking patterns and drought in northwestern Iran. In this regard, the precipitation statistics of 17 synoptic stations located in the provinces of East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil and Zanjan during the statistical period 1988 to 2018 and the statistics of 16 connection patterns from the Northern Hemisphere during the same period were used. First, using the drought index (SPI) of the study area on an annual scale, with a delay of one month and a delay of two months. Then, the relationship between drought and remote grafting patterns was investigated using Pearson correlation and linear regression methods. The results show that on a monthly scale, the PNA pattern showed a correlation with the studied stations more than other patterns in the one-month delay time of the TNA pattern and in the two-month delay time of the NAO pattern. Spatially, Maragheh and Jolfa stations have shown more correlation with remote connection patterns than other stations. Examination of seasonal correlation coefficients also showed that in winter HCNA and SNA patterns; NAM, NPI and PN patterns in spring; In summer, the SNAO pattern and in autumn, the POL / PEP pattern were more correlated with the drought of the studied stations than other patterns.

        Climate change and global warming is one of the challenges facing human society. Any change in ambient temperature can affect the life and activity of all living elements on planet Earth. The western and northwestern region is one of the most important habitats in Iran. To identify these changes in the study area, first the data of 31 stations were obtained from the site of the Meteorological Center and the daily temperature data of the warm period of the year for the period 1989 to 2018 were arranged.The warmest season in the region is from June to September.Climate change detection software has been used to detect climate change. Temperature anomalies were identified using the index z score standard. The final selection criterion for station anomalies was over 50% in the stations studied. Finally, this feature had 139 days during this warm period. In the next step, sea pressure level data were selected using a 253 * 139 matrix that justified 6 factors of 95.20% of the 4 month warm climate. The results showed that there are 5 general patterns of climate control in the region.In the meantime, two patterns emerge with warm advection across the region. In the three patterns, the prevailing synoptic conditions have led to a cooling of the atmosphere and cooling the air in the region. In cold advection patterns, generally, a combination of two migratory and low pressure European systems play the role of cold advection of polar latitudes on the northwest and west of Iran. But in the warm synoptic patterns in the lower thermal pressurized layer of the Saudi Arabia and in the upper layers of the Arabian Stack and Cyclone, warm southward propagation over the west of Iran has played a role in increasing the temperature in the region.

Sampling was conducted random-systematically. Initially, two locations beside of each other were selected, and then 4 sites, which were the representative of each location, were selected for sampling. Soil samples were collected from 0-15 and 15-30cm depth and totally 32 soil samples for each location from two depths were collected. Particulate organic matter- Carbon (POM-C) and Particulate organic matter- Nitrogen (POM-N), Percentage of coarse and fine aggregates and existing carbon of them were examined and analyzed. Results of variance analysis show that except the percentage of coarse aggregate all other investigated factors were increased by the increase of accompanied species diversity with each base of Prangos uloptera in the second location. Particulate organic carbon and nitrogen, carbon associated with coarse and fine aggregates percentage is significantly influenced by the high diversity of the accompanied plant species with the Prangos uloptera in the second location. Results of this study showed the rapid effects of management changes on the particulate organic matter and also proved the variability of particulate organic matter in the soil under the change of management practices on vegetation. Moreover, the increase of particulate organic matter can be unstable, thus management of vegetation and species diversity of rangeland ecosystems must be conserved for long time, till we have seen positive increase in soil organic carbon Manuscript profile

        Tree growth has a great ecological and economic importance and stem analysis is one of the reliable and widely used methods which is used to study the growth of different attributes of the trees. In the present study, we evaluated diameter, basal area, and height and volume growth of two fast growing species (namely Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum). After falling down the trees, 5 centimeter thick disks at 2 meter intervals were collected and transported to the laboratory. The thickness of the annual rings was measured in two perpendicular directions up to1millimeter precision. The results showed that the highest value of the current growth of diameter of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 4 and 6 year ages, respectively, equal to 1.5 and 5.4 cm and the highest value of the current basal area growth of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 9 and 10 year ages, respectively, equal to 0.1 and 0.14 square meters. Furthermore, the highest value of the current growth of height of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 6 and 9 year ages, respectively, with value of 1.3 m 3.1 m and the highest value of the current growth in the volume of Populus deltoides and Taxodium distichum occurred in 8 and 12 year ages, with a value of 0.094 and 0.1 cubic meters, respectively. Finally, there would be concluded that both of these species in such sites can meet the environmental needs such as green spaces as well as economic goals such as commercial wood product.

        The 7th to 10th centuries BC coincided with the rule of Assyrian Empire in the Mesopotamia, and the earliest instances of political confrontation in northwest Iran. These areas were home to the Manna tribes, who had gradually joined to gather in the region and established a monarchy following recurrent attacks by both Assyrian and Urartu governments. The rise and fall of Mannaean is marked by ambiguities and obscurities due to lack of Mannaean written resources, and so the reconstruction of its political relations with the powerful state of Assyria is only possible through exploration of Assyrian Annual reports. This study aims to elucidate the political relations between Manna and Assyria, and their role in regional control. The data was sourced from Assyrian Annual reports concerning the Manna people, whose history of political life, from the beginning until their integration into the Median government, has been classified into four periods. Finally, the study examined the role of Mannaean-Assyrian political relations in the Mannaean culture and society. Manuscript profile

        Qajar Iran was far from the scene of European politics. The western regions of Iran in the Qajar period witnessed complex conflicts and Fath Ali Shah was sensitive to the administration of the province of Azerbaijan and was important in various ways, including proximity to Russia and therefore became the residence of the Crown Prince. Azerbaijan was the border between the Tsarist and Ottoman governments of Russia. Findings show that due to its strategic position, Iran has become a hotbed of competition for powerful states and important parts of Iran were separated from the country as a result of treaties and economic and trade privileges were transferred to these states that maintained their trade and commercial interests. Land disputes are one of the most important differences between neighboring governments and the limitation of productivity of existing facilities and the lack of a series of registered and trusted laws between states and their non-binding to tactical and exclusive promises in specific time conditions as well as ease of integration. Ethnic and linguistic differences between neighboring and border areas have always led to years of conflict between states. The extent to which governments are able to manage their internal affairs in an integrated manner was one of the factors that encouraged some countries ready to start tensions. Manuscript profile

        One of the important works of civilization influenced by Islam is medicine in the form of teachings called Islamic medicine. The Abbasid period, as the golden age of the Islamic world, witnessed major changes in various sciences, including medicine. As a result of the success of the Abbasid Caliphate to medicine, the use of medical texts in various scientific languages of the time, including the medical heritage of Greece and Rome, led to a significant leap in Islamic medicine in the form of numerous translations.On the other hand, in the efforts of the Islamic Caliphate to expand its sphere of influence, it gradually dominated Islamic medicine in European countries by teaching and translating the works of Muslim scholars such as Razi and Ibn Sina. The present article tries to examine the influence of Islamic medicine of the Abbasid period on the western civilization of the earth. By asking the main question, what are the characteristics of Islamic medicine of the Abbasid period and how has it exerted its effects on the western civilization of the earth? The research method of the article is based on descriptive and analytical research with a library method. The result of the research also indicates that the period of Islamic Caliphate is not only one of the bright periods of growth of this field of sciences, but also the culmination of the influence and vast scientific realm of the Islamic world in the West.

        Toponyms are a great number of lexicon, which have emerged during centuries to name a place. In Iran, our country, the naming process of most villages and cities happens based on natural geographical phenomena like mountains, hills, plains, passes, valleys, rivers, springs, floods, storms and so on. The name of the cities like Damavand, Uromia, Miandoab, etc. and villages like Seilabad, Garehtapeh, Dashbilag, etc. are explicit samples of this kind of naming in Iran. The main goal of the present study is to investigate geotoponyms in the naming of the villages in West Azerbaijan province. Classifying the local authentic names and mentioning the primary sources like Irannica and Britannica, we exert and analyze our optimized names. The results show a prominent degree of relation between naming of villages and natural geographical phenomena in West Azerbaijan region. Among these, natural geographical phenomena related to heights, mountains, valleys, and plains have the uppermost influence on naming the villages of the region. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Turkey is a country which is having a contradictory identity and it is conservative too. The reason is that on the one hand Sufi Islam is dominating her and on the other hand she propagates Western values and tries to be close to the West. During the past decade, Erdogan who is leading Justice and Development Party (AKP) has tried to keep satisfied the Western countries and Turkish Muslim people who constitute 98% of Turkish population. It seems that he is inclined both to West and Islam. This can be seen in his performance and decisions. For instance he abolishes the ban on Hijab in government offices and on the other hand he maintains alliances with West and Israel against Syria. It can be said that although these dual and conservative policies have not created serious problem for his government and even he has won the presidential elections, yet in the long run this paradox cannot last long because this contradictory identity and non-fulfillment of the majority of Turkey's population expectations will disappoint them and Erdogan cannot keep his hold on power for good.

        Abstract: One of the Takfiri groups which in recent years has committed violence and extremism in South West Asia is a group called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This group grew up in a context of lack of democracy and citizen's right, political and social unawareness and with the logistic and financial support of regional and extra-regional power could survive for half a decade and put a serious challenge to regional governments in West Asia. ISIS as a group with extremist ideology and with its nature, objectives and a prospect which it draws for itself is a potential threat for Central Asian countries. The present article by applying the theory of confrontation with modernity and the theory of failed state wants to examine the possibility or impossibility of the emergence of ISIS in Central Asia. The authors of the article are of the view that a section of Islamist in Central Asia due to their opposition to modernity may come under the influence of ISIS thinking and this paves the ground for their presence in Central Asia specially that ISIS is leaving Syria and Iraq and they are searching for new places to continue their presence. Nevertheless the existence of authoritarian and relatively stable governments in Central Asia limits the possibility of the presence of this group. The methodology used in the paper is descriptive-analytical and the data have been collected form library sources and internet sites. Manuscript profile

The country has always offered interest-based approaches in its foreign policy in line with the changes in politics and power in the region. Following the developments in West Asia in 2011, the foreign policy approach of US governments, as the largest intervening trans-regional power, has undergone more fundamental changes than in the past, and US leaders appear to be seeking a new methodology for US presence in West Asia.

        China's growing presence in the West Asian region has led to a number of debates in academia and policy-making. China is now a global strategic threat to US interests. China's growing presence in the region has led to the question of how much the policy of the United States and China will change and what future or futures can be drawn for the strategic presence of China and the United States in the region? According to this research hypothesis, the strategic position of the region requires that despite the strategic rivalry between China and the United States in the world, they will work together in the West Asian region. The research method is descriptive-analytical and oversees the future research approach. According to the research findings, the presence of the United States and China in the West Asian region can be considered in the form of four "possible, believable, probable and desirable" futures. Given the need of these two supra-regional governments for the West Asian region, it can be said that the desired future is cooperation and the presence of both governments in the region is predictable.

        Following the Regional developments known as Arab Spring and the popular uprisings in the Arab world, Saudi Arabia, sensing threatened by the new developments, initiated altering its regional strategies. A great portion of the changes made in the regional approach of Saudi Arabia has been linked to the reign of King Salman, and particularly to the rise to power of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Aiming to study and analyze the modality of the formation of desirable regional order of Saudi Arabia, the question arises: "What are the characteristics and components of the desirable Regional order of Saudi Arabia and what are its mechanisms and practical tools?" As a probable answer, the study reasons that the desirable regional order of Saudi Arabia in its periphery (Arabian Peninsula) is based on "hard and soft hegemony", "being defined as a dominant regional player in the Arab world (countries with cultural and social commonalities with Saudi Arabia)" and " "Balancing in the Middle East region," And the study concludes that Saudi Arabia seeks to establish this order by building"alliance and coalition with the countries of the region", "attracting the support of America and the Zionist regime", and "strengthening its armament and military capabilities".

        In the three past decades the interaction oriented foreign policy of China have been able to provide the ground of cooperation with the West. It also has helped the survival of Chinese Communist Party and the improvement of China’s international position. One of the essential ambiguities which exist is about China’s future intentions and its attitude towards the international norms and rules, particularly that China is a strong power, it is having remarkable economic growth and increasing role in international affairs. Some observers believe that China’s flexible foreign policy is merely a tactic for preventing the reaction of the neighbours and the rivals to the process of China’s development. They believe as soon as the development plan yield fruits China will take up a confrontationist and destabilizing attitude towards the liberal-democratic order. The present article contrary to the above view argues that the proper and positive functioning of liberal rules in promoting China’s position will lead to stabilization of those rules and this country will have a stake in safeguarding those rules.

        The subject of “terrorim” in the discipline of politicl science and especially in international relations has been of importance and lot of attentions have been paid to it. After the September 11 terrorist events more attentinos have been focused on it and this topic became the main issue in political conferences and mass media. The September 11 events became an important historical and unforgetable incident and a milestone in international system and it gave a new meaning and attitude towards terrorism. Since the terrorist who participated in September 11 events were all Muslims and from the Arab countries، the Western mass media which have been under the influence of Jewish and Zionist circles tried to substantiate that Islam is having a terrorist nature and the Muslims and Arabs are participating in suicide attacks. The Western media in their interpretation and analysis considered Islamic Jihad sysnoymous with terrorism. As such، many people in the Western countries are of the view that Islamic contermporary civilization is related to terrorism and the terrorist events are having the backing of Islamic thinking and beliefs. Thus in the present article an attempt has been made to give a historical introduction about terrorism and define it، then the article discusses the issue from the view point of Islam. The article while defining and clarifying the meaning of terrorism from the view point of Quran verses، traditions، customs and the prophet’s way of life it tries to reject the allegation that Muslims are terrorist and it acquit Islam from terrorist beliefs. It also distinguishes the difference between terrorism and legitimate defence. Manuscript profile

        Abstract The four countries of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon in the west Asia have common security concerns a part of which is about resistance against any regional common threat. Since the Islamic Republic of Iran regards the west Asia as its own security territory, it can not be indifferent to political, religious, ethnic and racial challenges and developments in this region. Therefore, the geopolitical alliance of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon in the funnel-like strategic region of west Asia would result in a powerful alliance. Based on 'regional security' theory and 'geopolitical funnel' model, using a descriptive-analytical methodology, the present study aims at investigating the role of Iran in political and security developments of the west Asia. The results indicate that the Zionist regime of Israel, Shiite-phobia by Arab states and terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon as well as the challenges caused by the USA are among the most important common security concerns of the member states in this region. It seems building a geopolitical alliance is the most reliable solution to these threats. In addition, Iran's power components particularly its superior geopolitical and geostrategic position in the region, its huge population, etc. would contribute to Iran's pivotal and prominent role in this region.

        In recent years, China's economic growth has been induced to label this country as a great economic country in all over the world and enhance the individual income of people dramatically. But the problem which menaces the prospect of China and its economic achievements is the drastic gap caused by the rate of development between Eastern and western regions. Indeed, China suffers from incongruous development in its provinces. This issue will jeopardize territorial integrity and domestic stability of China. This article tends to consider China's attempts toward transferring centeral Asia energy resources to its western regions targeting constant development and enhancing economic welfare in those areas. In addition, since China is bordered by countries on the west as well as having considerable population of Turkish Moslems in Sin Kiang, she is highly at risk of separatist clashes and neglecting the development of this province, would create serious problems for China's pivotal government. The main discussions are concentrated around oil pipeline from Khazaghestan to China which is considered as one of the great investments of China in central Asia . The fundamental question is that to what extent this oil pipeline will influence the development of west China significantly. In this article, we aim to test the hypothesis which states that the transfer of Khazaghestan energy to west of China has positive and constructive impact on the realization of Chinese government goals in underdeveloped parts of this country.

In the confluence of Iranians and modern world, intellectual elites through making a judgment about these two options, at the same time, determined the direction of their theoretical path .In the present article, with referring to the intellectual needs in understanding the three approaches: modern-oriented, domestic (or native)-oriented and selective (or eclectic!!)-oriented, the focus will be on the thought of Jalal Ale Ahmad. Ale Ahmad according to his literary, political and intellectual works is a domestic-oriented thinker. This writing intends to discuss this hypothesis that for what reasons the domestic-oriented outlook contains paradoxical and poor ideas. It will be argued that Ale Ahmad both in proposing the meanings of the "West" and "Modernity", and more important, the "Eastern" or "Domestic", represents paradoxes and contradictions.

        Expansion of the relations between Iran and the West is one of the hallmarks of the Qajar and Pahlavi era. Familiarity with the culture and Western civilization of Iran has caused a relatively large social change, including changing the clothing of some sections of society, and especially the official dress of government employees. Based on this, the main purpose of the paper is to review the developments in the official dress of Naser al-Din Shah government staff and the Reza Shah period. Now, the question arises, what difference has there been between the design and the manner in which the work of the state employees during the period of Naser-al-Din Shah was during the period of Reza Shah? The hypothesis of the article is that with the efforts of Shah Qajar and Pahlavi I to change the cover, the official dress of government employees changed in terms of rank, position, social communication and in terms of design and how it was implemented. The research method in this paper is based on the description and adaptation of historical data and the results of this research indicate the process of westernizing influence on the cost of Naser al-Dinshah's administrative staff and the escalation of modernity on the development of state-owned personnel clothing with the authoritarian method of Reza Shah.

        Today, development as a process is the most important issue of countries, especially developing countries, the most important goal of sustainable development is to meet the needs and improve the quality of human life. The present study aims to examine the level of development of health and education indicators in the rural of the west coast of Guilan. For this purpose, information related to 4 health indicators and 6 educational indicators of the three census periods of 2006, 2011 and 2017 were received from the Guilan Provincial website. Then, using the Rural Development Index, Combined Result Index and paired t-statistics, the development of health and education indicators in 8 parts of the coastal area over time were determined. The results showed that the amount of RDI calculated based on the frequency of indicators and also the frequency ratio to the number of rural in each section, has a spatial difference. However, the ranking of the CRI index, despite minor changes in its value, does not show changes in the level of development over three periods. This is also true in the CRI index obtained from the ratio of frequency to the number of rural. The results showed that the development rank in this area is D and C, which indicates the low level of development of the west coastal area of Guilan province in terms of health and education indicators.

        Introduction   Increasing concentration of population and activity in some regions, regional balance is disrupting. Such features can be disabled policies considered growing polarization that results in a major part of the country's resources in one or more focus area and other regions such as the open development process. To create balance and order, spatial location, regional science planning and raised its target and eliminate regional inequalities is the area. In this regard, this paper analyzes the regional inequalities at the regional level (West Azerbaijan province) in terms of facilities and services in various fields. Research seeking to answer this question, which is different from development and regional inequalities in the cities of West Azerbaijan province, is to what extent? And whether the relationship between development and urbanization rates in the country there? Research Methodology In this field research methodology descriptive analytic that was the 24 indicators in quality and quantity of selected parameters and weighting them using the (entropy, Shannon), the 14th city in West Azerbaijan Province using (Tipsy line) in terms of ranking the degree of development and then using the correlation coefficient associated with the development level of urbanization rates in the province have been investigated. Announcements area of ​​43,660 square kilometers is equal. Equivalent to 2.65% of total area of ​​the country. *Responsible Author:                                                               R-b1342@yahoo.com      Located in the northwestern West Azarbaijan, Iran.

        Most of the settlements of Guilan province have certain natural constraints in physical development. In terms of geomorphology, these centers, in their physical development, have problems such as earthquakes, groundwater surface condition, forward and backward on the shores of the sea, flood, range of motion, etc. In many environmental management issues and land use, the most important and useful help of geomorphologist is displaying shapes and surface effects on the geomorphology maps, since the establishment and creation of settlements, above all, depend on normal conditions (geology, topographic, soils, hydrology, climate) and geographic location. Therefore, geomorphologic phenomena have a significant impact on the emergence, formation, distribution, and physical development of urban and rural settlements.This article is part of a research project under the same title (Preparing Geomorphologic Map of the West of Guilan with 1:25000 scale) which was conducted by the author in the West part of Guilan province; the results show that geomorphologic phenomena have an important role in the physical expansion of the settlements in the West of the province, some of which are the Caspian coastal sand dunes, steel wetlands (South West Astara), the Marine barracks around Choubar and Haviq, Global faults of Astara, and alluvial materials of Lavandevil, Choubar, and Haviq rivers, and range of processes, create some problems for the physical development of the settlements of the research area. Research method is based on form and process analysis on 1:25000 topographic maps, geology 1:100,000, aerial photographs, and, finally, at some stages of field visits, all the data on the land was evaluated. It is hoped that this work will provide a basis so that it would be possible to prepare these maps in broad national coverage for all the provinces, and give the report to the administrative organizations.

Therefore, the purpose of this descriptivecorrelation study was to investigate the effective factors on wheat farmers’ adoption of Farming Methods of Soil Management (FMSM). The research instrument was a structural questionnaire with close-ended questions, which its validity and reliability was confirmed. The target population included all wheat farmers in West Azerbaijan Province (N=24949) that among of them, 371 wheat farmers was chosen by using Krejcie & Morgan’s table through multi-stage sampling (n=371). The descriptive results showed the majority of farmers (237 or 63.90%) had moderate adoption of FMSM. These results also indicated farmers used three FMSM namely 1) using crop rotation, 2) using animal fertilizers, and 3) using soil testing more than others did. On the other hands, there were significant relationships between some of personal, farming, social, economic, and extension-education characteristics of farmers and the amount of their adoption of FMSM. Finally, stepwise regression analysis revealed that 35.30% (R2=0.353) of the variances in the amount of farmers' adoption of FMSM could be explained by the five variables namely farm size, knowledge about FMSM, the amount of extension contacts about FMSM, distance between farm and agricultural service centers, and the amount of attitude toward FMSM.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of extension services in enhancing effectiveness of out growers’ credit system in Kisumu County, Kenya. The study specifically sought to determine whether public and private extension services play a significant role in enhancing effectiveness of out-growers’ credit system among smallholder sugarcane farmers. A total of 110 small scale farmers were randomly selected for the study. A closed ended questionnaire was used to collect data from farmers. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The findings indicated that both public and private extension services were insignificant in enhancing effectiveness of out growers’ credit system. Further, the findings indicated that there was no significant difference between public and private sector in provision of extension services. The findings suggest that for out growers’ credit system to be effective in terms of creation of awareness about credit, accessibility, timely supply of credit, supervision of credit and provision of extension advice on credit utilization, both public and private extension services should be intensified and coordinated to avoid duplication. The results also suggest that sugarcane factory extension division should be strengthened just like in the coffee and tea sub-sectors. Manuscript profile

        The contrast between tradition and modernity has always been criticized throughout the history of political thought, and many thinkers have presented their views in this field in the Western and Islamic worlds. Meanwhile, the concept of modernity in the thought of Dariush Shayegan as a free thinker and Seyed Hossein Nasr as a traditional thinker and theorist is examined in this research. The theoretical framework of the research is a combination of Carl Gustav Jung's collective psychoanalysis and other hermeneutics theories. This research aims to answer the question, what is the approach of Dariush Shayegan and Seyed Hossein Nasr in facing modernity? The findings of the research also indicate that Dariush Shayegan as an Iranian thinker and intellectual underwent important changes during his intellectual life, and for this reason, his early views have very significant differences with his later opinions. On the other hand, Seyed Hossein Nasr, like Shayegan, is an ardent critic and opponent of modernity, and he believes that reforming religion leads to the deconstruction of religion and that there is no end except secularism and anti-religion. But his full-length defense of religious pluralism makes it difficult to make a final judgment about his thoughts. The method of descriptive analytical research and the method of collecting data is documentary. Manuscript profile

        کارکرد ترجمه طی چند قرن گذشته گسترده‌تر شده‌است و علاوه‌بر جنبه‌های زبانی، عوامل ایدئولوژیکی، اقتصادی، فرهنگی و سیاسی نیز فرایند ترجمه را تحت‌الشعاع قرار داده‌اند. از آنجائی‌که ترجمه صرفاً عملی خنثی و زبانی نیست و به مدت طولانی، ابزاری کمکی برای ابرقدرت‌ها به حساب می‌آمد تا بر ملت‌های ضعیف‌تر تسلط یابند، پس رابطۀ بین متن اصلی و ترجمۀ آن مستلزم بررسی‌های فراوان از رویکرد پسااستعماری می‌باشد. بدیهی است که ارتباط مهمی بین "پسااستعمارگرایی" و "ترجمه" وجود دارد و بسیاری از مترجمان و نویسندگان پسااستعماری، مولفه‌های فرهنگی خود را در آثارشان منتقل کرده‌اند؛ از این‌رو، این مقاله به تجزیه و تحلیل پسااستعماری ترجمه‌های انگلیسی پنج شعر فارسی به ترجمۀ "آرتور جان آربری"، شرق‌شناس مطالعات پسااستعماری، می‌پردازد تا جایگزینی یا عدم جایگزینی مفاهیم غربی به جای مضامین شرقی از سوی مترجم مشخص گردد. در این راستا، ترجمه‌های انگلیسی مورد نظر از کتاب گلچین ترجمۀ اشعار: ویرایش ای جی آربری (1387) و اشعار فارسی مربوطه از کتاب‌های گوناگون جمع‌آوری شده‌اند. نتایج حاصل از تجزیه و تحلیل‌ها حاکی از آن است که مترجم در ترجمۀ برخی از مضامین خاص اشعار فارسی، هویت شرقی-ایرانی را نادیده انگاشته‌ و در نتیجه، رنگ و بوی غربی به اشعار بخشیده‌است.

         Belief in the descent of the soul to the material realm and its return to its higher state and homeland is the core of the teachings of the Gnostic School as well as Islamic mysticism. This belief is manifested in two allegorical stories: “The Hymn of the Pearl” and “Exiled in the West: The Mystical Narration of Shihab Al-Din Suhrawardi's Recital of the Occidental Exile” The former is a reflection of Gnostic epistemological thoughts and the latter being an expression of Suhrawardi's intellectual-philosophical system. By a comparative analytical approach and using library method, the present article tires to decipher these two stories to depict the basic worldviews of Gnosticism and Suhrawardi through these two treatises, to reread the commonalities and differences between them, and in this way, achieve achievements by comparing and intertextually examining the two stories. Despite the great intellectual differences between these two worldviews, the findings of the research show many commonalities. Among the common themes of two stories, we can refer to spiritual nostalgia, East-West worldview, the presence of an old man and a spiritual guide, being informant, as well as the symbolic and mythological structure of both stories. Themes such as the return and the second birth, the Divine intervention in all things, and the non-dualistic worldview, that are referred in Exiled in the West, are the differences between the two stories.

        The issues of separation from higher world, spiritual nostalgia and return to origin have been expressed with symbolic language in allegorical texts of Iranian-Islamic mysticism.  One of the most important texts is Sohravardi's Ghorbat al-gharbiyah (the Occidental exile). Sohravardi proposes the concept of "the Occidental exile" in a utopian and an idealistic geography. By using descriptive-analytical method, the present article tries to study this concept in Masnavi Manavi of Jalāl al-Din Rūmi and to show his hermeneutic and mystical apprehensions with regards to Sohravardi's allegories. The research shows that how Sohravardian terms like ideal east and west, utopia, corps astral, being imprisoned in tenebrous well and mystical journey (suluk) to the east and higher world, all have been manifested in Masnavi Manavi. Doing so, it reveals that the common source of these two scholars, is, Quranic hermeneutic. They interpret the tales and allegories of Quran and indicate that the man can obtain his/her divine and luminous identity and understand that his/her true place is not the material world, and must resort to intuition and purification.

        Background & Objectives: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is accepted of chronic gastritis. Among the diagnostic methods, serological tests are widely available and relatively sensitive to detect H. pylori infection. However, the low specificity limits its application. The present study was aimed for designing, cloning and expression of UreB - Omp18 protein from Iranian H. pylori  strain as a promising diagnostic candidate with high specificity.Materials & Methods: After extraction of genomic DNA from focal Helicobacter pylori strain, ureB and omp18 genes were amplified by primers designed for these genes by PCR reaction and cloned into pET-22b expression vector after enzymatic cleavage. The expression of the resulting recombinant protein was induced by IPTG and purified with high purity by affinity chromatography. The antigenic properties of the purified recombinant protein were confirmed by Western blotting.Results: In this study, two ureB and omp18 gene fragments were amplified by PCR as 597 and 479 bp fragments, respectively, and cloned as a hybrid fragment in the pET-22b vector. The expression of the recombinant protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3) appeared as a fragment of about 60 kDa on SDS-PAGE and was purified by Ni-NTA column. Western blot results of purified chimeric antigen with sera of H. pylori infected patients showed the antigenic properties of the recombinant protein.Conclusion: In the present study, for the first time, the recombinant UreB-Omp18 protein was produced from the native strain of Helicobacter pylori, which can be a suitable candidate for designing a Helicobacter pylori diagnostic kit in the region.  Manuscript profile

        Literary interactions, as a means of cultural exchange, were established between the Arab and Western writers and poets in two different steps; the first step was embracing of the literary works of oriental writers and poets in the West; such works as a Thousand and One Nights, Panchatantra, Maqamah, and musical structure of Arab poem were imitated in the West, thereby forming a bridge between Eastern and Western literature. And the second stage was imitation of Western literature by Arab writers, which resulted in the emergence of new literary genres in Arab literature; playwriting, epic poetry, short story, and modernist poetry, as well as modern literary schools that were unprecedented in the Arab literature so became popular among Arab literary writers. Such cultural interaction has always resulted in development and flourishing of literature of different nations in the world, so much so that the world literature can be said to be the product of a process of ongoing exchange between different nations. Artistic interactions have long been one of the means to establish cultural exchange between different nations; of arts, literature, as a branch of verbal art, has plays a significant role in such an auspicious interaction. It is obvious that flourishing of world literature and cultural richness of the nations is indebted to such beautiful human art. Therefore, this paper tries to study the cultural interactions between Western and Arab literature in two steps: effect of Arab literature on Western literature and vice versa with a view to different literary genres. Although there were many works by writers and criticisms that were relevant to this study, the focus here was on those effects in literary works that are considered as innovation in the influenced literature, but as imitation from perspective of the influencing literature. However, such influence can be a cultural exchange, which can fertilize the influenced literature. In this paper, effects of Arab literature on Western and vice versa are studied in two steps.

        The question of "the origin of ideas and concepts" is one of the most important issues in the new age of Western philosophy. In this article I have attempted to provide an analysis of the process of formation and importance of this issue during this period. I have shown in this analysis: The first step in the formation of this problem was the presentation of the Idea of innate ideas by the rationalists of new age, which is due to some of their metaphysical foundations and views, rather than answering an explicit and independent question called "the origin of ideas and concepts". At this stage, although the question of "the origin of ideas and concepts" has been raised in some way, it has not yet emerged as a serious and independent issue. In the second step, John Locke with the aim of rejecting of the Idea of innate ideas, for the first time explicitly and directly raising the question of "the origin of ideas and concepts" and discussing it seriously and in detail. Leibniz's re-defense of innate ideas against Locke's attacks, has led to the explicit formation of dualism of Rationalism and Empiricism for the first time, and thus making this debate particularly important. In the third and final step, Hume, by linking the fate of very important issues such as the possibility of Science and Metaphysics to the question of "the origin of ideas and concepts", makes it a matter of immense value that it never had before.

        Depending on his own intellectual system, Iqbāl stresses the eastern wisdom of eastern people and Muslims and challenges the western schools of thought including materialism and nihilism. His philosophy is composed of reasoning, mysticism, Quran, Hadith, love, spiritual concern, self-consciousness, awakening, passion and includes transcendental theory and action. He believes that the western rationality must be regarded in terms of technique and information and it is empty of deep view and intuition. Iqbāl mentions that achievement of western culture and civilization leads to the development of technical reason and destruction of soul. Western wisdom has developed on the ruins of oppressed world and its satanic and demonic reason is accompanied by tyrannical and aggressive plans. This process has led to the transformation of original cultures of oppressed people and the destruction of eastern knowledge, spirituality and religious belief. For this reason Iqbāl ardently asks eastern Muslims to be attached to their own tradition, strength and knowledge, the knowledge that leads to salvation and truth.   Manuscript profile

        As IR scholars have long recognized, the alignment with foreign actors has been particularly relevant for regional balance in the West Asian power relations and in the same way, France is among the powers that has always been taken into consideration in the West Asian extra-regional alliance strategies. Besides that, over the past two decades, economic leverages has gained momentum in IR including in cross-regional Geostrategic alignments and are employed as an important foreign policy tool. So the main question of this article is how the Geo-economics have shaped French foreign policy within the context of West Asian geopolitical rivalry and what have been the consequences for Iran? Supposing that the region's vast commercial, financial and arms market have been evolved into Geo-economic leverages, ready to influence the foreign policy behavior of major trans-regional powers, this paper examines the use of these leverages in the context of Saudi-Iranian cold war and demonstrates that how this trend has paved the way for Franco-Iranian foreign policy confrontation on multiple regional issues.Current studies suggest that, in addition to the bipolar atmosphere surged from Saudi- Iranian conflicts, the Spillover of the region's crises into Europe and the US “Pivot to Asia” strategy, among others, are major contextual components determining France interventions in West Asia. The results of this study indicate that the aggregation of economic levers in the camp of Iran's regional rivals has conferred certain competitive geopolitical advantages and has affected French foreign policy options while adding to the fragility of Franco-Iranian relations.

        Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine has always been the scene of Russia-West competition due to its identity, geopolitical, geo-economic and economic importance, and has witnessed serious conflicts and various political-security crises. The 2014 Ukraine crisis, which began with Russia’s pressure on Ukraine to refuse to join a free trade agreement with the European Union, eventually led to the annexation of the Crimean peninsula to the Russian Federation could also be considered in the context of the same competitions between Russia and the West. A competition that not only started the crisis and annexed Crimea to Russia; Rather, it sharply increased tensions between Russia and the West. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to answer the questions that why did Russia decide to annex the Crimean peninsula to the Russian Federation, and what effect did this annexation have on the balance of power in the Black Sea region? In this article, with a qualitative method and analytical approach, the research questions in the conceptual context of the balance of threat theory have been examined using library resources. The findings of the article show that the elimination of threats from Ukraine's possible membership in the European Union against Russia's security and national interests has been the reason for Russia's decision to annex Crimea to the Russian Federation. This annexation has also changed the balance of power in favor of Russia vis a vis the West in the Black Sea region. Manuscript profile

        Prime Minister of Great Britain Winston Churchill said in 1939 that "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma". Some of the Iranian political elites consider Russia as an un-reliable ally for Iran whichlargelyoverlapsthatofChurchillspokeinPersian culture. Since the dissolu7on of Soviet Union in 1990s and the rise of Russia, Moscow has been experiencing three foreign policy orientations: “cooperative approach to the West”, “integrated approach to the West” and “look east policy”. Indeed, NATO’s military intervention in the formerYugoslav and ignoring the interests of Russia lead this country with a new compe77on in its foreign policy against the Western countries in 1999. This article deals with the Russian foreign policy outlooks to win the West’s legitimization as the second great power in the world. Western Countries particularly united States are not interested in recognizing Russia as the world’s second great power. Manuscript profile

        The present work seeks to provide a descriptive-analytical approach to a realistic analysis of the competing nature of the (Shiite) discourse of opposition to the Salafist and Brotherhood discourses in the strategic domain of West Asia. So the question that the authors of this study is trying to answer is why is the impact of the (Shiite) discourse on the West Asian security order in the face of the Salafist and Brotherhood discourses evaluated? The hypothesis raised by this question is that in recent years, the discourse of Shiite resistance to Salafist and Brotherhood discourse has succeeded in bringing the Islamic and revolutionary countries present in the West Asian strategic field in form, method, slogan and in The goal is to influence. The choice of revolutionary Islam as the ideology of struggle and resistance, the attempt to achieve Islamic rule, and the role of intellectual currents in different layers of Islamic societies are examples of the profound effects of (Shiite) discourse on this area. To this end, in order to maintain the political structure of the countries of the region and subsequently to prevent the maximization of the growing power of the discourse, the Salafist and Brotherhood discourses have sought to maximize the discourse of the (Shiite) resistance. This, in turn, has led to the proxy war and sometimes to the hidden discourse between the two mentioned discourses and, of course, to the detriment of the Salafist and Brotherhood discourses.

        About three years ago, Viktor Yanukovych the President of Ukraine fled the country following massive anti-government protests. Following these developments, during which the Kremlin-backed president was ousted, Russia intervened in eastern Ukraine and after the referendum, the Crimean peninsula was annexed to this country. Developments in Ukraine (2014), which led to the crisis in the Crimean peninsula, change the geopolitical outlook of Post-Soviet Eurasia, undermine regional security and created a major challenge in United States-Russia relations. Therefore, it is important to answer the question: what impact of Ukraine's developments (2014) has had on Russia-West relations? The United States and the European Union responded by imposing sanctions on Russia, so that, according to some analysts, the Crimean crisis has become the greatest crisis between Russia and the West after the Cold War. The present article, by using a descriptive-analytical method, attempts to examine the effects of Ukraine's developments on West-Russia relations. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Although Most of Critics of Barack Obama‘s Regional strategy believe that Obama lacking a strategy point of view. This reasoning looks completely wrong. When Obama sat on presidential seat he believed that high volume reduction of military commitments and political investment in Middle East is one of the vital and important profits of United States. Engrossing of Iraq and also widespread war against terrorism has faced United States lots of problems, particularly in time of recession. Adjusting presence of United States in this region was not only limited to reduction of its physical appearance in Middle East, but also it includes restraint policy, as Syria, Libya and Yemen has proved that. It means United States take steps back in conflicts of region and give more safety to its allies for more responsibility they take. This study show that Obamas has followed this policy, continuously and he resists strongly against efforts is made to stop this policy. Although it is not in favour of everyone in Washington, but it is a clear and comprehensive strategy which has made Obama to take serious proceedings for issues he thought they are important just as national security; the issues such as Iran nuclear program, Palestine-Israel conflicts, Iraq war and specially recent changes in Region.   Manuscript profile

        In this paper, the determinant factors and processes in the West Asian region are investigated in three areas of structures, actors, and processes as interconnected and interrelated items. The theoretical framework of the research is based on the Steven David''s Omni-Balancing theory, asserting that governments not only consider external military threats in their own security calculations, but also address domestic dangers. After reviewing the structures affecting the security order of the region, the writers explain the role of extra-regional, sub-national/non-state and state actors. Then, processes affecting the security order of West Asia will be examined with emphasis on identity differences, poverty and inequality, water crisis and Islamism. The article then focuses on regional patterns of regional security in West Asia, including Puzzle and Chess patterns, which put actors involved in the security equitations of the region in a state of perplexity. The paper concludes that due to the uncertainty and unpredictability of regional dynamics, the lack of a regulative principle, the plurality and diversity of actors and finally the fluid process, it would be difficult to predict the future of regional order and security. In such a situation, it seems that the ultimate solution would be initiatives such as security networking and a strong region. The research method is descriptive-analytic and documentary and reliable internet based sources have been used to collect the information. Manuscript profile

A comprehensive joint action plan had for Iran such a tool decree as long as Iran will be Isolated with effort plan to build nuclear weapons, with this agreement, it became an effective player in international bargaining. The Barjam was more than a decade of tension and ineffective negotiations with the Western side. In the atmosphere of post Barjam, Iran officially entered the economic club and regional and world politics. This article seeks to answer this question that Iran's engagement with the international community in the post Barjam what has influenced the role of the country in West Asia and the world? This paper examines the hypothesis that Iran is in the aftermath of the Barjam exit from a previously controlled position and play as an active actor in regional crisis management and this has led to a shift in the balance of power in the region to the detriment of Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

             Abstract       European Union is one of most important international actors that wants in addition to expanding its economic influence, emerge as a major international power and in this regard, especially after the Maastricht Treaty has taken important step towards increasing its international political weight. After the formation of the European Union, issue of its formation as a whole was discussed in political and academic circles and different views were introduced. Normative power approach which was introduced by Manners, created new literature in international scene and at the same time prompted supporters and opponents. On the other hand, Western Balkan region, which mainly consists of former Yugoslavia countries, has particular importance for European Union. Geographical proximity, historical and cultural commonalities and the shared border areas have created grounds for development of relations between the two sides. Therefore, in this article, the question is what is the impact of European Union’s normative power on countries of Western Balkan? What Instruments European Union has used and what challenges facing it? In addition to theoretical dimension of research and measures and applied policies, this paper believes that the relative stability of this unstable region and its alignment with the West is due to European Union’s normative power.     Manuscript profile

In response to the changes of global arena, new diplomacy has emerged with different forms like media diplomacy, public diplomacy, track two diplomacy and virtual diplomacy. Understanding the reasons of the emergence of new diplomacy is very important and can be influential in determining foreign policy’s course of action.This article tries to investigate the reasons of the emergence of new diplomacy in the changing world system and proposes three factors as a hypothesis: declining of the role of sovereign states as a consequence of the growth of non-governmental actors, remarkable advancements in information and communication technologies and the enhancement of public opinion status.

        Abstract Globalization is the major difference between today and previous era. Having an international economy which is sign of globalization could have a significant impact in expanding technology and transferring it to other developing countries which in turn resulting in asset and financial exchanges. An indication of globalized economy is perceived in efforts of international companies to elaborate and expand their transactions in order to connect their economy and countries where removing legal barriers lead to free economy. The geo-economical position of Iran in south west Asia as an energy distributor and its role could be regarded as a ring in international economy for effective investment in the region. Therefore, by establishing economic fundamentals, improving the production and enhancing oil industry and its connected enterprises growth of economy takes place. Without no doubt parameters such as contribution in distribution, developing technology, transferring resources, improving GDP and growth of other factors of development will move Iran’s economy toward a dynamic one. In this article, the effect of economy globalization in south west Asia with respect to Iran’s Geo-economical position was studied where converging approach was applied.     Manuscript profile

        Today, one of the most important challenges in the capital market is stock price prediction. Stock price data represents a financial time series whose trend is very difficult to predict due to its characteristics and dynamic nature. One of the most recent methods used in predicting financial time series is ANN with back propagation of error. In this article, artificial neural networks based on three different Levenberg-Marquardt learning algorithms, scaled conjugate gradient and Bayesian regularization were used to predict the stock market based on the data of the lowest price range as well as the 30-minute data of the stock market index and compared their results together. We compare. All three algorithms provide a 99.9% estimate using the lowest price range data. But when using 30-minute data, the estimation accuracy decreases to 96.2%, 97.0%, and 98.9% for Levenberg-Marquarat algorithm, scaled conjugate gradient, and Bayesian regularization, respectively, which compares with the results Obtained by using the data of the lowest price range, the accuracy of the prediction is significantly reduced. Finally, the optimal neural network is compared with the regression method to determine that the results of the ANN in complex nonlinear time series are more efficient than linear methods.

        In order to study of integrated dodder management in Sugar beet, which is spreading in sugar beet field, an experiment was conducted in Azarbayejan-gharbi province in Iran in 2015- 2016. Treatments were seed bed preparation times as main plots, planting date as sub plots and application of different doses of Propizamid (SC50 :1000, 1250 and 1500 gai.ha-1) and Ethofumesate (SC50: 750, 1000 and 1250 gai.ha-1) as sub-sub plots arranged as split-split factorial plot based randomized complete block design. Dodder dry weight and contamination level were evaluated at 30 days after herbicide application and sugar beet root yield was evaluated in the end of experiment. Seed bed preparation time had no significant effect on dodder dry weights. Results indicated that the contamination of level of dodder (EWRC) in the first planting date (39.3%) was less than the second planting date (44.8%). Results also showed that dry weight of dodder in the first planting date was less than the second planting date (49%). The highest root sugar beet yield was obtained from seed bed preparation time in autumn and spring, and planting date in 14 April and also using propyzamid herbicide as 1250 gai.ha-1. Contamination of level of dodder average was less in applied of propyzamid (36.2%) than the Ethofumesate (47.8%). The results of this experiment, as a whole, showed that planting of sugar beet in the 14 April, and also application of propyzamid as 1250 gai.ha-1 for dodder control can be recommended.

        In order to find out diversity of Testudo graeca populations in the north western of Iran, 30 adult females were studied in East Azerbaijan, West Azerbaijan and Zanjan Provinces from April 2008 to April 2010. The natural history of specimens is presented. Forty morphometric characters in three populations have been measured. Principle Component Analysis (PCA) exploited three means components. The components expressed 80.32%, 4.38% and 3.22% changes, respectively. Dispersion of Specimens based on components showed that all populations are placed closed to each other. Discriminant Factor Analysis (DFA) educed two meaningful Factors that expressed 53.6 % and 46.4% changes. Dispersion of Specimens based on Factor 1 and 2 demonstrated that all populations were separated, distinctly. It seems that habitat differences, geographical and ecological situation are the reason for this separation. Cluster analysis showed all of populations were placed in a same cluster, but one of specimens of West Azerbaijan was placed in separate branch. So this interesting finding can be inferred by new form. Manuscript profile

        In this study, the effect of adding prebiotic, synbiotic and phytobiotic supplements in the diet on growth performance, carcass traits, apparent digestibility of nutrients and some blood parameters of fattening Zell lambs was investigated. For this purpose, 24 Zell male lambs with an avrage age of about 5 months and an avrage weight of 25.4±0.50 were used for 90 days. The experimental treatments included 1- control group (no supplement), 2- treatment containing 2 g of A-Max prebiotic supplement, 3- treatment containing 4 g of Biomin IMBO synbiotic supplement, and 4- treatment containing 6 g of Bioherbal phytobiotic supplement per head of lamb per day. The growth performance results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental treatments in the fattening weight, dry matter intake, daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio (p < 0.05). The highest weight at the end of the fattening period, dry matter intake and daily weight gain were observed in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement. The treatment with 6 g of phytobiotic supplement had the lowest feed conversion ratio. The highest apparent digestibility of dry matter, NDF and ADF was observed in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement (p < 0.05). The results of some blood serum parameters showed that there was a significant difference in the concentration of glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride and blood urea nitrogen between the experimental treatments (p < 0.05). The highest concentration of glucose was in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement, the lowest concentration of cholesterol was in the treatment of 6 g of phytobiotic supplement. Blood urea nitrogen had the lowest concentration in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement. The treatment with 4 g of synbiotic supplement had the highest hot carcass weight, hot carcass percentage, cold carcass weight, cold carcass percentage, thigh percentage and shoulder percentage (p < 0.05). The present research showed that the addition of 4 g of synbiotic supplement in the diet improved the growth performance, valuable parts of the carcass and the apparent digestibility of nutrients in fattening lambs.

        One of the most important causes of global population decline is the overgrowth of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease characterized by the extracellular accumulation of amyloid beta (A&beta;) plaques in the hippocampus. Probiotics are microscopic organisms that are important for maintaining and improving human health. This study aims at assessing the effect of two probiotic strains, including Bifidobacterium longum and Limosilactobacillus reuteri on A&beta;42 gene expression, the count of amyloid plaques, and neurogenesis in the brain of Alzheimer's disease rat models. First, two probiotic strains were isolated, purified and identified from traditional yogurt, and the rats were grouped as follows: thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group underwent any surgery with no special treatment. The other groups underwent surgery and after being injected by A&beta;42, they were divided into the sham group receiving water (probiotics solvent) and the two experimental groups receiving 2.5 x 109 CFU of Bifidobacterium longum and Limosilactobacillus reuteri strains. Finally, A&beta;42 gene expression, the count of amyloid plaques, and neurogenesis were assessed in the brain of Alzheimer's disease rat models. In the brain of induced Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease rats, neuron death occurred and the number of amyloid plaques increased significantly (p&lt;0.001). Also, A&beta;42 gene expression was increased in their brains. Meanwhile, treatment with both probiotic strains notably improved all of these symptoms. Therefore, the use of both Bifidobacterium longum and Limosilactobacillus reuteri probiotic strains seem to be effective in the recovery and treatment of Alzheimer's disease which certainly requires more investigations.

This theory was formed by Edward Saeed and his book " the Orientalism ". Different post-colonialism frequencies and reaction against colonialistic ideology and the destruction of the superiority of East and West are seen in the Iranian modern poetry. This descriptive-analytic paper is to survey the appearance of phenomenon of post-colonialism in the poetry of Maleko-shoara Bahar. The studies show that most of his ideas about his defiance, and fighting against colonialism and his ideas about motherland, identity, freedom, liberty and internal autocracy embedded in the literature of post-colonialism.

        ....governance at the macro level shows how much the government uses public resources for the public benefits. Therefore, the provinces of the country, as an administrative agency and supervisor of government approvals at the level of each province, should use a suitable model for good governance. The present article aims to provide a model of economic development governance in West Azerbaijan province. This article is a fundamental research that has been conducted with mixed research method and based on deductive-inductive reasoning. The statistical population of this study includes theoretical experts (professors of public administration) and experimental experts (managers of West Azerbaijan). Sampling has been done in a non-probabilistic and purposeful manner. Data collection tools are semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The theme analysis method has been used in order to analyze specialized interviews. Also, the identified indicators have been validated by fuzzy Delphi method. Finally, the final model of the research is presented with a structural-interpretive method. Research data analysis was done in the qualitative phase with MAXQDA software and in the quantitative phase with Matlab and MicMac software.&nbsp; The results showed that the components of "improving economic policies" and "transparency of information and economic measures" directly affect the &ldquo;anti-corruption&rdquo; and "public accountability". Likewise, anti-corruption and accountability has an impact on "economic development" and "citizen satisfaction", and so economic development governance can be achieved. If the managers of West Azerbaijan province follow the presented economic, social and cultural principles, it will be possible to achieve the goals and achieve the benefits of economic development governance.

        The subject of this research is the expression of the role of Arabic language and literature in the transfer of Islamic culture and civilization to modern Spain (Islamic Andalusia). This mapping began since 92 AH, the beginning of the Muslim presence in this land, and lasted for nearly 8 centuries. What was transferred to Andalusia as a heritage of Islamic culture and civilization during this period is in the form of written works and oral narrations, which are often translated into Arabic and its use requires the familiarity of Andalusians with this language. In this article, based on descriptive-analytical method, the main question has been what is the role of Arabic language as a bridge between Islamic culture and civilization in the East and Christian Spain in the West? According to the findings of this study, Islamic culture and civilization spread in Andalusia during the 8th century, especially in the first centuries of Islam, where almost all of its content could be transmitted in Arabic and only in this language. As a result, the Arabic language became important to both the people of Andalusia and the rulers for the transmission of religious teachings as well as the connection of Andalusians with the government. Subsequently, steps were taken to address the existing needs, such as the establishment of schools, libraries, and the transfer of scientific resources and scholars from the East to Andalusia.

        With arrival of Justice and Development Party serious alterations occurred in Turkey's foreign policy and the country's Policy in the Middle East moved towards opposition than cooperation. The changes in Turkey's political and social contexts and the country's emphasis on layers of identity. Brought about ideological tensions that necessitate the investigation of changes in Turkey's identity tenets in the Middle East and it's regional effects. This study argues that Justice and Development Party's application as identity tenets in the Middle East entangles the country in ideological games that it has little in common with; and from another perspective, with a read of Islamism the country enters a rivalry field with Iran and Saudi Arabia each of which represents a part of it's identity (Sunni and Shiite) and from another aspects the two countries have opposite and common benefits. Thus, Turkey's presence in the Middle East brings about more complication in the regional equations and more disagreement in policies; and intensities ideological rivalries. This study was carried and according the Constructivist theory, the research method was descriptive &ndash;analytical; and the data were collected through library research. Manuscript profile

        Background and purpose: In Iran, from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards, while the modernist intellectuals who are familiar with the western culture, mainly look at modernization with the view of interaction and tolerance, and even tolerate its scientific and technological achievements, looked at the phenomenon and function of modernity and the vanguard of renewal with a view of error and opposition and considered it as an example of westernization. This essay tries to answer the question, "What was the quality of the intellectual confrontation of Iranian dissidents with regard to Orientalism and the arrival of modernism in the course of the 20th century?"Methodology: The methodological approach of this research is comparative and analytical and based on library sources.Findings and results: Modernity in its nature promoted the propositions of individuality, civil freedom and the importance of law. It seems that the approach of Iranian intellectuals to Orientalism was twofold; parallel to the fascination of some progressives towards the West and the manifestations of modernity, who considered westernization from head to toe as a necessity for the development and progress of society; At the same time, Iran's traditionalist intellectuals considered the first group's point of view to be xenophobia, westernization, and a colonial conspiracy and denied any interaction and tolerance with the West. It seems that during the years leading to the Islamic Revolution, the discourse of the later group became more influential and remained the dominant discourse of Iranian society for many years.

        Identity Policy, with a focus on antagonism toward the West and the United States, is one of the most important sociological sources of legitimacy in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This policy is not only the result of the political management of this system, but also is the product of a historical process that began with the delegitimization of the Pahlavi regime, followed by the establishment of the Islamic Republic. This article examines the historical context of the formation of Identity Policy based on conflict with the west and its impact on creating political legitimacy in the Islamic Republic. Findings of the research indicate that within the framework of Identity Policy, the Islamic system has aligned its ideological interests with the historical experiences of the Iranian society in relation to foreign authoritarian interventions, then created a legitimizing policy that, beyond jurisprudential, philosophical and legal reasons, has been able to attract a wide range of society. This result negates some comments about one-sided legitimization by ideological systems.

        Democracy and democracy are among the topics that are discussed in many scientific and even political circles, now the question arises whether there is a difference between Western democracy and religious democracy? Different views of Islamic thinkers in the affirmation of religious and Islamic democracy, including the Imams of the Revolution, Shahid Motahari and several other religious leaders, are considered, who believe in religious democracy because in a society full of religious people value Religious beliefs play an essential role in the public sphere of society. In common democracies, the common denominator is the participation of the people through the method of representation and referendum, and on the other hand, those who believe in secular or Western democracy, Religious democracy is considered as a combination of two words, democracy and religion, and it is not considered as an original, independent concept and definition, and it is considered to have various ambiguities, or religion is considered to limit the principle of democracy, because in their opinion, religion with Democracy cannot be summed up and it is an imposed, artificial and unattainable word like Mohammad Reza Darvish who believes in liberal democracy. While many Islamic theorists do not consider the term religious democracy as a compound word, but a single truth in the essence of the Islamic system. That is, if a religion is to be formed on the basis of religion, it is not possible without the acceptance of the people. Manuscript profile

        Layered and multidimensional threats that threaten the lives of political units in sensitive geographical areas have persuaded them to form a network-centric alliance to protect their own land and the interests of themselves and their allies. Lay a layer of actors on the agenda not only at the state level but also on a transnational scale. One of the basic pillars of Iran's defense strategy is the design and application of a fundamental and security-building approach called foreign defense with the ultimate goal of protecting the country's national security in West Asia. The pursuit of this strategy at the beginning of the formation of the revolution was mainly defined as the observance of the mission and the religious and revolutionary motivation to support the liberating currents, but in recent decades, and especially after the wave of awakening. Islam, the scope and activity of takfiri groups, the growing threat to the United States and its allies, and the coalition system of rival countries, including the Saudi and UAE regimes, often serve as a prudent and necessary approach to consolidation. Partitioning and directing has led to a network of powerful indigenous forces that are at the same time in line with the goals, security and interests of the regions of Iran and the Islamic world as a whole. Yemen's Ansar al-Islam, which plays a key and decisive role in the developments in Yemen today, is one of the prominent forces during the operation of this network. Manuscript profile

        The predominant theme of Persian epics after Shahnameh is the description of the battles between Iran and Mazandaran.&nbsp; Apparantly in this regard Ferdowsi&rsquo;s Shahnameh is an exception since it describes the most battles of the Iraninans with the Turanians.&nbsp; There are numerous comments about the reason behind why the central battle in Shahnameh belongs to Iran and Turan, yet the main discussion in this research is concerned with the epics other than Shahnameh.&nbsp; Eventhough epic geography is totally distinct from the real geography and the fictional geograhy is a psychological symbolic geography which is except for the names has no connection with the real geography, however the study of the fictional geography tells us that Mazandaran in Shahnameh must be located roughly in the west.&nbsp; Relying on the evidence collected from different texts this research shows that in most Persian epic texts with the exception of Shahnameh, the main battle of Persians is with the people of Mazandaran and Turanians have no significant role.&nbsp; Mazandaran based on the above evidence is roughly located in the west which is a symbol of darkness according to the Persian epic literature and is set against brightness (Iran), therefore Mazandaran cannot be located in the territory of India (east)..

        Iranshahr is the common name of the lands in Iran&rsquo;s terrain recognized in Persian mythology and in Pahlavi texts as the land of light and the territory of Ahuramazda.&nbsp; This idea is repeated in geography books in the Islamic era and in Persian literary texts.&nbsp; The result of this view regards Iranshahr as a center for the ancient world which is sacred and should remain intact from the invasion of evil doers.&nbsp; On the other hand, Babylon had been an immense influential civilization in Mesopotamia rising after Summerians and had a great impact on other civilization of Middle East and North of Africa and in particular influenced Europe by its astronomical beliefs.&nbsp; After Cyrus&rsquo;s capture of Babylon and its incorporation into Iran&rsquo;s soil, it had been always regarded as part of Iranshar, a fact reflected also in geographic texts.&nbsp; Regarding this issue, Babel like Iran should be seen as a sacred and auspicious land, yet according to Iranian&rsquo;s beliefs Babylon is assumed a place where demons and sorcerers arise and certain Iran&rsquo;s miseries proceeds from this place and this is contrary to all the positive attributes given to Iranshahr.&nbsp; Using descriptive analytic approach in this research it is argued that since Babel is located in the west of Iran&rsquo;s mythological geography where the sun sets, therefore according to cult of Mithras, its adherents believe that such strategic position had brought ominous outcome for the western lands, Babylon included.
