        Introduction: The growth and high population density in urban areas and the production of all kinds of domestic and industrial pollutants resulted many consequences on the sustainability of the environment and its biological capacity as well as the quality of human life in urban communities. Ecological footprint assessment is one of the methods of measuring sustainable development in urban societies, which is used to measure sustainability in the world. The purpose of this research is to measure the sustainability of Abadan city using the ecological footprint method. Materials and Methods: This research was carried out by using the descriptive-analytical method and by applying the ecological footprint calculation model proposed by Rees and Walkernagel in order to determine the amount of land needed by the residents of Abadan city. The data of this research was mainly quantitative and collected by two documentary and field methods. The studied community included 384 households living in Abadan city and using the statistics and data of the relevant organizations with the subject of research and national statistics and yearbooks. The cluster random sampling method was based on the ten Abadan manicipal regions. Then, the ecological footprint index of food consumption, the amount of carbon dioxide production due to transportation and heating from natural gas, the amount of water consumption, the amount of electricity consumed and the amount of produced waste were calculated. Results and Discussion: Calculations showed that the largest footprint was related to electricity consumption (4252 m2) per person and the lowest related to waste (21 m2) for each citizen. Footprint index of water 56, natural gas 450 , gasoil 3770, petrol 1484 and food 1232 square meters per citizen and the total ecological footprint was calculated 1.12 hectares . Conclusion: The results showed the region climate and the activity of oil industries cause high consumption of energy input increased in hot seasons and the traffic of diesel vehicles because of industries in Abadan increase, So the consumption of diesel fuel is more than gasoline. Although the total per capita ecological footprint of Abadan is less than the world average (1.8 hectares), but the total ecological footprint per population is 5.5% more than the urban environment's carrying capacity, and this requires optimal management of resources and matching this potential with population and resource consumption.

        Mammography is a diagnostic technology used in screening programs to find breast cancer early. By using two techniques for image enhancement and highlighting breast tissue microcalcifications for the desired areas by regional ROI based on fuzzy system and also Gabor filtering method, the study's objective was to assess the viability of automatic separation of images of breast tissue microcalcifications and to assess its accuracy. The decision tree classification algorithm is used to categorize the clusters of breast tissue microcalcifications after the clusters have been identified. The samples that are thought to have microcalcification are next highlighted and masked for segmentation, and in the last step, tissue properties are extracted. Then, it was possible to distinguish between benign and malignant forms of segmented ROI clusters with the aid of an artificial neural network (ANN). The results of this work show a high accuracy of 93% and an improvement of sensitivity of 95%, which shows that the presented solution can be reliably applied to detect breast cancer..

        Karun river is a key region for environmental protection and high-quality economic development in ahvaz metropolis. However, tourism is a serious threat to the environment due to the continued development of urbanization and industrial transformation. Hence, the present study aims to identify the driving factors affecting the ecological security of tourism considering the capacities of the karun river. The method of this study is explanatory based on the new methods of future research. The factors were evaluated by 30 experts and specialists in urban planning using environmental scanning, and interaction/structural effects analysis. MICMAC future research specialized software was used in this regard. The results revealed that the dispersion state of the effective variables indicates the sustainability of the system. Based on 31 investigated factors, 10 primary factors were selected as key factors affecting the ecological security of tourism. All factors were repeated in both direct and indirect methods. The results indicated that the variables related to the dimensions of the scale and profit of tourism as drivers of the tourism industry have been preferred over the objectives of protecting the environment and environmental resources. Variables such as the number of employees in the tourism industry, the income from international and domestic tourists, the number of star hotels, the ratio of educational expenses to public finances, the number of international and domestic tourists, the total retail sales of hotels, catering services, and unemployment rate and urbanization are prioritized. This study revealed that the tourism capacities in the ahvaz metropolis, especially the karun river, have been abandoned due to mismanagement. Also, the results suggest that tourism planning has not been considered and the use of foresight and forecasting tools can facilitate the achievement of tourism goals. Manuscript profile

        To study the effects of different planting time on yield, yield components and some of agronomic traits of soybean varieties, an experiment was conducted as factorial on the basis of completely randomized block design at three replications in Agricultural Research Station of Islamic Azad University, Ardabil branch in 2009. The first factor in this experiment was planting time in four levels (27 May, 5, 15 and 26 June) and the second factor involved varieties of Williams and L17 Line. Experiment results showed that differences between varieties were not significant for all traits, while there were significant differences between planting times for all traits except grain number per pod. Also interaction of planting date × varieties was not significant for all of traits. Planting dates of (27 May and 5 Jun) were placed in a single class for plant height, biological yield, oil percentage (18/5 and 15/98), 100 grain weight (13/5 and12.36 gr). Also, the mentioned traits had the highest values in those planting dates. planting date of 27 May had the highest values for final yield (2227 kg/ha ), nod number per plant and pod number per plant. Results of this research, indicated that plant could not get its potentiality. Because, they lacked suitable time for growth and this subject cause to reduce in yield. Therefore, the planting date of 27 May was recommended for Ardabil cold climate. Manuscript profile

        To investigate the effects of different amounts of nitrogen, planting density and number of seedling in the main farming on morphologic qualities, functional components and quantitative and qualitative functions of ratoon rice production cultivars Sangtarom, an experiment was conducted on a field in Babol, in 2008. Split factorial experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design in three replications. In this experiment four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 46, 69, 92 kg ha-1 from the urea fertilizer source) were used as main factor and sub factor, including the first two planting densities (120 and 40 plants per square meter respectively, sowing pattern 10 × 8.3 and 16.6 × 15 cm square). For the second factor two planting methods frutescence (single seedling) and univalve (3 seedlings or bud), were used respectively. The result of experiment indicated that maximum ratoon production consumption, respectively 46 and 92 kg N ha-1, also the maximum ratoon production obtained under density 120 plants in square meter and with the three seedlings could create an increase in some functional components, such as the number of panicles in square meter, in the total number of spikelet in panicle, in the number of filled spikelet and in the weight of thousands seeds. Also the quality of amiluze under the consumption of 92 kg N ha-1 by density 120 plants in square meter and also under the condition of univalve planting (3 seedlings) reached to its maximum value.

        Objective: Compliance with environmental regulations and financial resources are very important for the survival of companies. On the other hand, in the competitive market, it is vital to pay attention to technological innovation in companies. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of environmental regulations and financial restrictions on technological innovation in companies. Methodology: This research is practical in terms of purpose. It is also among post-event studies. To select a statistical sample using the screening method, 124 companies were selected from among the companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 2018- 2022. For data analysis, multivariate regression model was used by Eviuse software. Results: The obtained results showed that environmental regulations and financial restrictions have an inverse and direct relationship with technological innovation in companies, respectively. In other words, the more companies comply with environmental regulations and financial restrictions, the less technological innovation happens in those companies. Innovation: In today's era, attention to technological innovation in companies can be considered as an important and influential variable. Therefore, the innovation aspect of this research is that there has been no research on the relationship between environmental regulations and financial restrictions with technological innovation.

        The following article is a continuation of another article about genealogical legitimacy and its effect on the theory of Imamate.  While in the previous article, the inconsistencies between the pre-Islamic genealogical culture of the Arabs and the issue of the transfer of the Imamate of Ali and his descendants were investigated, in this article, the difference between the Imāmīyyah and the Zaidīyyah in the genealogical explanation of the Imamate in the period of the third to fifth century A.H. will be analyzed. It shows that those two groups, in an attempt to explain the chain of imams with a coherent theory, put forward different understandings of the genealogical legitimacy, and based on it, when interpreting the important texts of the Ḥadith of Ṯhaqlayn and the verse of Taṭhīr, as well as the story of Mubāhilah, presented various definitions of the genealogical terms Ahl al-Bayt and 'Itrat". Regarding the mixing of Mu'tazila with Shiites and their participation in these discussions, the opinion of Qāzī 'Abdul Jabbār Mu'tazilī has also been examined. Finally, it can be said that while in the general attitude of Zaidīyyah, the mechanism of inheritance was accepted based on the concept of Zurrīyyah as the basis of genealogical legitimacy, Imāmīyyah In order to explain the chain of imams, which usually but not always followed the paternal mechanism, also use the criteria of virtue and Naṣṣ.

        As the most significant hagiography of Ilkhanīd period, Safwat al-Sāfa articulates a specific narrative of Sufi-State relationships under Ilkhanīds. What is represented in this new narrative is not the overall political history of the time, but only some moments, in which the central event is the encounter between the representative of ideological power, i.e. Sufi leadership, and representatives of secular power, politico-military elite. Safwat al-Sāfa's reports do not imply a complete representation of those events and do not correspond to the official historiographical reports of those events, but are aimed at writing them in line with the author's political orientation. The author, thus, selects some elements of political history and reconfigures them in a new narrative arrangement in order to provide a new account with real actors and real events with a degree of verisimilitude. Neither absolutely allegorical nor totally realistic, this new narrative configuration combines allegorical elements with realistic ones to transmit its political point; the superiority of ideological power over political power Manuscript profile

        Technological learning as a way to improve technological capabilities has been the focus of researchers in recent decades. One of the important issues in technological learning is measuring the dimensions of this learning. The review of past studies shows that, despite emphasizing the importance of determining indicators for measuring technological learning, a unified framework has not been presented and most studies emphasize the impact of learning on specific areas. By examining various sources and using meta-synthesis method, this research seeks to provide a framework for measuring technological learning styles and provide a specific classification of them. For this purpose, the articles published in scientific journals during the years 2000 to 2021 were reviewed and by combining the findings in a systematic way, an attempt was made to provide a more complete framework for measuring the different dimensions of technological learning. The introduction of "science-based learning" measurement indicators, "experience-based learning" measurement indicators, and innovation measurement indicators resulting from these learnings and classification into three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced are among the most important results of this research.

The pages of the aforementioned news agencies were examined, and the results showed that all of the psychological operations tactics were visible on the pages of Taghrib, Tesnim, and Iqna, but differed significantly in that the extent to which the pages of the newspapers were confronted with the dispersed component. It seems as though rumor and gossip are more common than other tactics Practice coping tactic was despair. Therefore, it seems that the aforementioned news agencies have been more policy-oriented in terms of confrontation or dispersion.

        در این مقاله با تأکید بر ضرورت ارزیابی هنجاری فرم، تئوری و رهیافت تغییر تدریجی به عنوان مبنای این سنجش معرفی شده است. به این دلیل تغییر تدریجی به عنوان مبنای ارزیابی انتخاب شده است که هم در حال حاضر به طور گسترده در پروژه های طراحی و برنامه ریزی شهری نظام های شهرسازی اروپا و امریکا – و نمونه های متأخر در خاورمیانه – به عنوان رهیافت کلی مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد و هم از سوی نوشهرگرایان به عنوان راهکار منطبق با اصول رشد هوشمند و دستیابی به فرم پایدار شهر معرفی شده است. بنابراین استخراج شاخص های ارزیابی هنجاری فرم براساس تغییر تدریجی، هدف اصلی این مقاله می باشد. در فرآیند استخراج شاخص های ارزیابی، تغییر تدریجی از منظر تئوری و چارچوب عملیاتی مورد مداقه و بررسی قرار گرفت و مفهوم دوگانۀ تغییر تدریجی در قالب دو بعد ماهوی و رویه ای ارائه شد. بررسی مفهومی ابعاد مختلف تغییر تدریجی نشان می دهد که تغییر تدریجی به عنوان فرآیند جامع مداخله در محیط های مصنوع، قابلیت اعمال در کلیۀ مقیاس ها را دارد. در نهایت به دلیل آنکه استخراج مؤلفه ها نیازمند همسطح سازی است، اصول (در واژۀ عام) مورد نظر تغییر تدریجی براساس میزان عملیاتی بودنشان در قالب سلسله مراتبی از چشم انداز تا سیاست تفکیک می شوند و اصولی که در سطح سیاست طبقه بندی شده اند، مبنای استخراج مؤلفه ها قرار می گیرند. دسته بندی اصول تغییر تدریجی در قالب چشم انداز، هدف کلان، هدف خرد، راهبرد و سیاست یک چارچوب مفهومی است که علاوه بر تأکید بر چند سطحی بودن نظام هدایت و کنترل تغییر تدریجی، به منظور انتخاب مؤلفه های هم سطح برای تدوین شاخص ها ارائه شده است. بنابراین محل بحث تفاوت هایی که بین عناصر هدف گذاری از منظر رویکردها و نظریه پردازان مختلف داخلی و خارجی در جریان پروژه های طراحی شهری مطرح می شود، نمی باشد. با انتخاب روش استخراج شاخص ها براساس سه رکن «بعد»، «مؤلفه» و «شاخص» و با تأکید براستفاده از دانش های مختلف در گسترش یکدیگر، اکولوژی به عنوان دیسیپلین پایۀ و مفسر مؤلفه های تغییر تدریجی انتخاب شد. از مفاهیم اکولوژی به عنوان مبنایی جهت تعیین حد و حدود یک تئوری یا اصل دیگر، بسیار محدود استفاده شده است. یافته های این پژوهش نشان می دهد که تغییر تدریجی از بین تمام اصول اکولوژی، بر پایۀ مفاهیم «اکوسیستم»، «مجموعۀ زیستی»، «تنوع»، «توالی» و «هم فرگشت» بنا شده است. با بررسی عمیق این مفاهیم به عنوان مؤلفه های تغییر تدریجی و با استفاده از روش تحلیل تطبیقی، نقاط لنگرگاهی آنها استخراج و با توجه به محیط مصنوع و عناصر آن که در طراحی و برنامه ریزی شهری مبتنی بر تغییر تدریجی مورد مداخله قرار می گیرند، بازتعریف شدند. در نهایت «همجواری»، «تسلسل مکانی»، «سازواری گونه عناصر با محیط بر حسب تعداد گونه»، «سازواری گونه عناصر با محیط برحسب جمعیت عناصر»، «سازواری گونه عناصر با یکدیگر»، «تنوع گونه پهنه»، «تنوع گونه عنصر»، «کلیماکس»، «گذار» و «دگردیسی عناصر» به عنوان شاخص های ارزیابی هنجاری فرم مبتنی بر تغییر تدریجی و براساس معیار «کاراکتر شهری» تبیین شدند.

Up to now, in most studies on thermal comfort and adaptability of individuals with micro climatic conditions in urban public spaces or residential areas in Iran, just studies of physical and physiological factors and physical suggestions such as changes in the form of building, density, vegetation species, landscaping and land use planning have been conducted. Of course, there are some studies on thermal comfort perceived (not felt)and combination of physical and objective studies with mental, social and environmental psychological studies with a collaborative approach to the visitors to the space in some countries of the world; but the psychological variables studied (especially in the field of thermal adaptation) generally include the effects of the factors such as naturalness, expectation, experiences and time of exposure and perceived control on space. Although the mentioned variables have been not studied in the form of urban public spaces according to the climatic and cultural-demographic conditions of different regions in Iran in a comprehensive study, the main goal of the present study is the effect of the sense of place component on perceived thermal comfort and thermal adaptation of individuals which have been not considered in previous studies. By studying the relationship between the two concepts of thermal adaptation and sense of place, in order to promote the thermal comfort of the people in an urban space and generalize it to a variety of comfort conditions in a space, it is possible to decide better in the planning process to achieve the goals of an urban space. Since we will not have a space with a physical comfort, but without an adequate sense of place which encounters a lack of attraction of people compared to spaces that although the lack of comfort, but have enough sense of place. Therefore, expanding the concept of perception and its difference with feeling is one of the key goals of the present research. The hypothesis of the present study is that: "There is a direct relationship between thermal adaptation in order to reach thermal comfort and different levels of a sense of place in urban spaces. "The experimental model of this study has been extracted after conceptualization and explained by Delphi method and then, a questionnaire corresponding to each component of the model was developed by surveying in two urban spaces in Tehran city and filled out by 200 citizens presenting in the two places in cold season and then analyzed using statistical tests, including T‌-test, correlation and Beta. The results indicate that, it was also found that there is a direct correlation between the two variables of sense of place and individuals’ thermal adaptation in order to achieve the thermal comfort (the proof of the main research hypothesis). Finally, some strategies have‌ been provided to improve the thermal adaptation and sense of place and to increase the mentioned correlation. Manuscript profile

        Cities are places for diverse hierarchies of natural inhabitants, and thus designing their ecological landscapes is a complex process. Landscape design is more important than form creating. Landscape ecology is a science of dynamic reactions between nature and society. Disturbance in urban landscape may cause simplification of landscape system resulted in degradation of life quality in living areas. Therefore urban development without consideration on ecological process will damage ecosystems in urban and regional scales. A good ecological design in built areas can improve ecological functions of the whole system. In this study, the application of landscape ecology together with land compatibility has been studied. The result is creating an efficient method in ecological design of urban green spaces. Urban green spaces are the most important parts of urban ecosystems, providing many social and environmental services and promoting the quality of living conditions in cities. The application of landscape ecology in urban design and consideration of urban green spaces as green networks or green infrastructures help to improve the quality of natural areas in cities. It seems that determination of an optimal method in urban landscape and green space design based on landscape ecology principles is a necessary task for landscape and urban designers. Also, recognition and introducing the interdisciplinary method in green landscape design  results in positive ecological function and provides a basis for sustainability. The Kish island is selected as a case study because of its ecological sensitiveness, rapid growth development of tourism, and demand for green spaces. The main objectives of this research are as follows: a) creating a method for designing ecological urban green spaces, and b) zoning for developing, conserving or rehabilitating of green spaces in Kish island. To do this, reviewing existing ecological theories and methods and comparison of existing methods in landscape ecology are applied. The proposed method which has been nominated Ecological Land Suitability Analysis (ELSA) is based on land suitability analysis and landscape ecology principles, using GIS VER 9.2, and AHP techniques. The process of using the method is as follows: 1-Explaining of effective criteria in selection of green areas and their priorities; 2-Determination of criteria values; 3- Providing spatial layers of the selected criteria; 4- Classification of layers based on their special purpose; 5-Quantifying of quality classes using Phasy values; 6-Applying AHP weight and quantitative values in layers and determination of final weight layers; 7- Changing spatial layers from vector to raster; 8- Overlaying the spatial layers; 9-Preparing of land compatibility and suitability map; 10-Extraction of unvalued layers from total spatial layers; 11-Final layer classification and evaluation of different outputs. 12- Zoning the urban green areas in Kish Island. Results have been shown in land suitability GIS maps. The efficiency of the proposed method has been proved, using quality comparative criteria including: comprehensiveness, clearness, completeness, and flexibility, reliability, efficiency, easiness, generalizing, rapidity, necessary technology, being up to date, and fitness with the principles of theory making. It was concluded that, this method (ELSA) could be generalized in the same environmental conditions. Manuscript profile

          Nowadays; definition of urban places and spaces is highly considered. Identity can be defined as the sense that people make of themselves through their subjective feelings based on their everyday experiences and wider social relations.Such experiences and relations need particular places. Places are significant centers of our immediate experiences of the world. In the past, human life was sincerely attached to things and places. Overall, there are two ways in which place has been related to identity. The first is place identifications. This refers to a person’s expressed identification with a place, The second way in which place has been related to identity is through the term place identity, which calls for a more radical re-evaluation of the construct of identity.   The forces of new technologies, globalization and ‘time-space-compression’ have worked to undermine roll of place in individual and social identity of communities , However, places play a potentially important part in the symbolic and physical dimension of human identification. Place identity is realized through presence, movement, standing and reflects on physical, social and functional features in which a comprehensive understanding of the place will be allowed.   Cities are rediscovering their rivers. For at least the past 30 years, cities and towns have been turning back to their rivers, transforming industrial and derelict land into new parks, residences, and commercial space. The trend appears to be continuing and perhaps even accelerating, with major planning and construction efforts underway in waterfront cities around the world. After abusing urban rivers through years of hard use and neglect, we have come to realize they are valuable economic and community assets. This assets give the waterfront cities great opportunities that if been considered in new developments, would arise benefits for the whole city.   Reconsidering waterfront areas as a valuable urban asset is one of the most interesting phenomena of urban renewal. In particular, river cities display an intimate and complex relationship with the water which should never be considered a limit but an extension of the urban fabric. Tourism pedestrian trails within the urban context, connected to ecological river corridors, provides a concept through sequence vision with all of it aspects for urban space experience.   In this research a descriptive and analytical methodology is used to determine main principles of pedestrian trails along the index urban axes connected with the riverfront corridors, focusing on parameters that increase presence of people and as a result identity of riverfront places.   The paper shows that tourism pedestrian trails along index urban axes connected to the ecological river corridor, causes sustainability of urban places and as a result identifies the adjacent area and the entire city. This visual and physical connectivity, considering environmental issues and an integrated redevelopment, would led to creating more livable ,identified and active urban public spaces. Such connections increase quality and legibility of urban spaces and elaborate the image of the city. Careful criticism of the city’s production of new urban spaces should be pursued to avoid foreclosing opportunities for articulating alternate urban futures. Manuscript profile

          This study has concentrated on the role of folding on urbanism and introduced the "urban carpet" as the introduction of folding urbanism. Folding philosophy is derived from Deleuze theories in rhizome and anti-oedipus based on Leibniz’s mathematics. This theory appeared in architecture by Eisenman and later, in the macro-scale and urban design was introduced by Hadid. Today, she presents her manifesto of  folding genesis as "urban carpet" that already has determined in landscape design by James Wines. Hadid based on "unity in diversity" philosophy with the complexity of folding mathematics tries to design a city with post-modern feminist literature, so that provide the anti-oedipus city with its own harmonies.   This study has made an effort to indicate how architects criticize and use the folding stream in urbanism as they call it "urban carpet" and for this purpose spontaneously, we analyzed some famous works which their base concept was about folding movement.   The conclusion of the study is that the "urban carpet" can be the introduction and some referent of folding urbanism and although, has been successful in creation of  harmony in the macro-scale and bird view, but in the human-scale architecture and discourse of the event architecture is not successful.   Manuscript profile

          During the recent century we've found tensions in man-nature interaction. According to this problem, many of the researchers rethink and reconsider the Persian Garden and the man-nature relationship in it. Most of the researches include two points of view; the first is Subjective-Objective method and the Second includes Phenomenological research method. In this research, the main goal is to analyze the Perception Process of Persian Garden's Environment, on the basis of the Ecological Psychology Theory.   In order to analyze the process we use the third point of view which is explained as deductive and inductive category development method, in this research.This study shows that in Persian Garden's architectural order, the main purpose of designing many elements are just to stimulate our five senses (vision, hear, smell, touch and taste) simultaneously. This time’s notion attractions of all senses, according to environmental psychology researches, make a concentration and meditation environment in Persian garden. “Environmental DETACH in Persian gardens can lead us to spiritual ATTACH”, this approach propose a practical solution for architects; how to re-create garden in contemporary language design. The necessity can be understandable when humanbeing face different serious problems in the environment caused by various disorders in the life setting. Manuscript profile

        The hasty urbanism of twentieth century has been followed by various types of pollutions and present environmental changes that within this process, cities were both faulty and damaged. During the last years, the urban theoreticians and designers have thought of finding or identifying the possible sustainability backgrounds and sustainable developments in executable smaller scale, i. e. development of communities among which not only are regarded as refuges or shelters but also consists of a net of supports and social opportunities for a series of widespread leisure time, cultural and economic activities. A sustainable community seeks the increasing of social interaction and people involvement in affairs. Ecological approach toward the designing of residential spaces will originate novel views in the urban literature of twenty first century.  Such a process strives for the settlement of an interaction among the human and nature-built residential complexes. It has been decided to seek in this article the answer to this problem that what criterions have been adopted toward the primary paradigms of community designing in modern cities or the redevelopment of the Brown fields and are theses paradigms in congruency with the concepts of sustainability. This is a documentary study of theories of primary paradigms, a comparative study of first and second half of the twentieth century which implies that the adopted process for the creation of the self-reliant residential complexes to form and settle the social institution has endured within the second half.  Primary models of community have designed in the first half of the twentieth century which its idea was to create the residential complexes to shape and settle the social institution in an urban environment. Two conceptual models of this period were considered as the most common scales of community design up to the Second World War. They presented two different ways which were followed by one general goal and that were coming back to a self-dependent community.  Primary models of community design in the second half of twentieth century Physical dispersion of cities social structure downfall, insecurity of the community unsuitable use of the earth and quality decline of urban environment are part of city problems within this period. Mutual function of these paradigms with protection of ecosystems brings up the paradigms based on sustainable development. It seems that sustainable concepts have been gone from the urban village movement and are completed by new urbanism model and the related models which have been manifested within the models of eco village and smart growth. The sustainable able scales are used in the models of eco village and smart growth and have direct relationship with the sustainable community principle. Energy index is one these scales based on the optimized used of fossil fuels and its replacement by type of renewable energies. Smart growth paradigms are combined with the principles of sustainability and are occasionally mingled with them. Considering the attitude toward globalization represent the adaptations of the community designing paradigms of the twenty-first century in the contemporary movements of eco village and energy.   Manuscript profile

        Edible films and coatings have gained increasing interest due to demands for convenient, ready-to-eat foods with extended shelf life. However, packaging without additives or pigments is insufficient to preserve foods due to various limitations. This review discusses the potential of utilizing natural extracts and essential oils as promising free or encapsulated additives to enhance the functionality of edible films and coatings. Extracts and essential oils offer antioxidant, antimicrobial and emulsifying properties when incorporated into coatings. Their incorporation level, type and nanoencapsulation influence their activity against food-spoiling microbes and their ability to extend shelf life. Nanoencapsulation preserves bioactive compounds against environmental stresses like oxygen and moisture, prolonging coating stability. This review focuses on recent research evaluating natural extracts and essential oils as additives in edible films and coatings applied to various foods. Their antimicrobial and antioxidant effects on coated substrates are discussed. The benefits and limitations of developing antimicrobial and antioxidant-active packaging technologies are also reviewed. Biodegradable smart coatings utilizing natural additives provide a sustainable food packaging approach with reduced environmental impacts while ensuring safety. Overall, extracts and essential oils show great potential as natural additives to develop high-performance edible films and coatings when applied in free or encapsulated forms. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the study is to address the role of conflict management strategies (control, competition and avoidance) and the extent of strategic conflict management preferences in coaches and teams under their leadership on team effectiveness (wins and losses, ranking, and team durability). Investigating how a women's basketball coach prefers to work in a team and to what extent the choice of conflict resolution style affects team effectiveness. According to the review of the published literature, conflict arises in different stages of team formation and is inevitable. Although conflict reduces the productivity of a team, it can also be beneficial in increasing team performance. Team members in different positions prefer different styles to manage conflicts within a team, but there is still no research to determine the extent of these preferences among female basketball coaches, especially when talking about the impact of conflict management in real situations and team performance. be The purpose of the current study was to address this issue by examining and identifying strategic conflict management preferences and team results on team effectiveness (wins and losses, playoffs, rankings, and team longevity). Participants included female coaches from 41 teams in women's basketball, whose preferences were aggregated across three levels of league competition. Data were collected through a multi-part questionnaire to evaluate the study variables. Manuscript profile

        The hierarchy analysis process is one of the most comprehensive systems designed for decision making with multiple criteria, since this technique provides the possibility of formulating the problem in a hierarchical manner, as well as the possibility of considering different quantitative and qualitative criteria. The process involves various options in decision making and the ability to analyze the sensitivity of the criteria and sub-criteria. In addition, it is based on a paired comparison that facilitates judgment and computation. This model starts with the identification and prioritization of decision elements. These elements include goals, criteria and possible options, the process of identifying these elements and the relationship between them ultimately leads to the creation of a hierarchical structure. But in many cases, some or all of the data are fuzzy decision making, so it is necessary to consider uncertainty in such a decision model in the decision model. This article tries to take a fresh look at the issue of fuzzy hierarchy analysis. This view is influenced by the flaws in the fuzzy methods and group decision-making methods such as Delphi.

        In this paper, the new concept of non-autonomous iterated function system is introduced and also shown that non-autonomous iterated function system IFS(f_(1,∞)^0,f_(1,∞)^1) is topologically transitive for the metric space of X whenever the system has average shadowing property and its minimal points on X are dense. Moreover, such a system is topologically transitive, whenever, there is a point like z∈U for each open and invariant set U from X so that N(z,U) has a positive upper density. It is also shown that topological transitivity is result of properties of shadowing and chain transitivity. The relation between average shadowing property , topological transitivity and chaotic non-autonomous iterated function system is studied .Moreover, it is also demonstrated that the first two conditions for the definition of chaos results the third condition. The topological mixing of such a system is obtained from shadowing property and chain mixing.

        In this paper, using sub-supersolution argument, we prove an existence result on positive solution for an ecological model under certain conditions. It also describes the dynamics of the fish population with natural predation and constant yield harvesting. The assumptions are that the ecosystem is spatially homogeneous and the herbivore density is a constant which are valid assumptions for managed grazing systems. This term saturates to c at high levels of vegetation density as the grazing population is a constant. This model tries to capture the phenomena of bistability and hysteresis and provide qualitative and quantitative information for ecosystem managements. This model has also been applied to describe the dynamics of fish populations. This model describes grazing of a fixed number of grazers on a logistically growing species. The general logistic function is characterized by a declining growth rate per capita function (Equation) Here P is the population, r > 0 is the growth rate and is positive constant[21]. But there are some ecosystems where the growth rate per capita may achieve its peak at a positive density. This is called the Allee effect This effect can be caused by shortage of mates, lack of effective pollinations predator saturation and cooperative behaviors. In this pape, we restrict ourselves to logistic models. Manuscript profile

        The question as to whether the propositional logic of Heyting, which was a formalization of Brouwer's intuitionistic logic, is finitely many valued or not, was open for a while (the question was asked by Hahn). Kurt Gödel (1932) introduced an infinite decreasing chain of intermediate logics, which are known nowadays as Gödel logics, for showing that the intuitionistic logic is not finitely (many) valued. Now we know that the propositional intuitionistic logic is infinitely many valued (with a countably many logical values). In this paper we provide another proof for this result of Gödel, from the perspective of Kripke model theory. Švejadr and Bendova (2000) proved that in Gödel fuzzy logic the conjunction and implication are not definable by the rest of the propositional connectives (while disjunction is definable by conjunction and implication). In this paper, we show that disjunction is not definable by implication and negation in Gödel fuzzy logic; two proofs, one by Kripke models and one by fuzzy semantics, are provided for this new theorem.

        In 1969, DeMarr proved that a commuting family of non-expansive mappings on a nonempty convex compact subset of a Banach space has a fixed point. Takahashi extended DeMarr’s theorem to the case of discrete amenable semi-groups. In recent years, considerable research has been devoted to the theory of fixed points as well as common fixed points. In the case of semi-topological semi-groups (that is, a semi-group with a Hausdorff topology such that the multiplication is separately continuous), Lau and Zhang studied DeMarr’s theorem under more general conditions for example in the case of the amenability of the space of almost periodic functions as well as the space of weakly almost periodic functions. In this paper, we study several fixed point properties of the mean non-expansive semi-topological semi-groups acting on nonempty convex weakly compact subsets of a locally convex space as well as give extensions of the results of Lau and Zhang.

        Extension of Banach algebras defined by Cartesian product by a linear functional such as are called -Lau Banach algebras. Recently, this type of Banach algebras are interested by many researchers. Derivations play an important role in algebraic structures. By using this role, one can discover some of the properties of algebraic structures on which a derivation is defined, such as their semi simplicity. In this paper, we consider derivations that are defined on Lau product of Banach algebras and we characterize these derivations in some various cases. As a main characterization, for two Banach algebra , and , we show that is a derivation if and only if there are derivations , and a -derivation such that for all . We investigate the converse case of the above obtained result in some various cases and according to the obtained results related to characterization of derivations, we investigate and characterize the first cohomology of Banach algebras obtained by this product.

        Selecting the optimal stock portfolio is one of the most important issues in the field of financial research, which tries to choose the optimal combination of assets in order to create maximum utility for the investor, Given that the return on securities in the real world is often vague and inaccurate, one of the most important investment challenges is uncertainty about the future. In this paper the problem of selecting and optimizing securities portfolios with different modeling goals has been solved and compared. The designed models have considered both the nature of the portfolio selection issue and the considerations considered by the shareholder in the portfolio selection. The uncertainty quality of the future return of a given portfolio is estimated using fuzzy LR numbers, while its return torques are measured using possibility theory. The most important purpose of this paper is to solve the problem and compare portfolio selection models with simultaneous optimization of two, three, and four objectives. For this purpose, the NSGA-II genetic algorithm is used and the mutation and intersection operators are designed specifically to generate possible solutions to the cardinality constraint of the problem. Finally, the efficiency and performance of the models in case of using fuzzy logic and not using it have been compared and it has been determined that the use of fuzzy logic and possibility theory leads to the formation of portfolios with higher performance and higher efficiency.

        One of the most important parts of topological structures is metrizability, which creates the conditions for a metric such as d to be found so that the topology obtained from this metric is the same as the original topology. Topological algebraic structures that are closely related to ℝ and its resulting spaces. For example, in topological groups, as a topological algebraic structure, there are very close properties with metric and soft spaces, such as being completely regular, being Hausdorff,…. .In terms of metrizability, there is an astonishing case called the Birkhoff - Kakutani case, which states that a topological group is metricable if and only if it is the first-countable. In this manuscript, we make topological polygroup metrizable. We do this by definition of the prenorm on topological polygoups, and finally we prove the fundamental theorem of metrizability on topological polygroups Like topological groups, it is the first-countable of topological polygroup.

        The vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of a simple connected graph are defined based on the distances between vertices and edges of that graph. The first derivative of these polynomials at one are called the vertex-edge Wiener indices. In this paper, we express some basic properties of the first and second vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of simple connected graphs and compare the first and second vertex-edge Wiener indices of them with each other. Also, we compute these polynomials and indices for some well-known graphs. Then, we study the relation between the vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of Cartesian product of graphs with the Wiener polynomial and vertex-edge Wiener polynomials of the primary graphs and apply the results to compute the vertex-edge Wiener indices of Cartesian product of graphs. As applications of these results, we present exact formulas for computing the first and second vertex-edge Wiener indices of rectangular grids, C4-nanotubes, C4-nanotori, Hamming graph, and hypercubes.

        Child abuse is a behavior and situation in which a child becomes a victim of torture and physical, emotional, sexual, emotional, neglectful, and sometimes structural abuse. The World Health Organization considers the issue of child abuse to be significant in four areas; Physical child abuse, sexual child abuse, emotional child abuse, and neglect. The first anti-child abuse law in Iran was approved in 2002 in order to implement international documents and to respond to the call of organizations and institutions supporting child rights and to create a deterrent against the phenomenon of child abuse. With the discovery of the shortcomings of the law and after about two decades, this brief law in 1399 was completely repealed and replaced by another new law. Despite the fact that the Iranian legislature in 2002, according to the Law on the Protection of Children and Adolescents, in particular, considered physical abuse of children in addition to emotional and psychological abuse, criminalized and punishable, in recent amendments, despite compensating for some shortcomings of the previous law And address issues such as child sexual abuse and child abuse due to neglect; But in general, the most obvious form of child abuse, namely physical child abuse and mental child abuse, has been forgotten, and this important issue has been removed from the examples and scope of child abuse criminalization in Iranian law in complete disbelief and completely ignored by the legislature Manuscript profile

        As financial markets become more complex in today's world, terms such as financial capability and financial knowledge (literacy) have recently become widely used in the literature and everyday conversation. However, there are still challenges in explaining the meanings of each word, its dimensions and elements, and how to measure it, and many consider the two words to be the same. In addition, most of the research conducted so far has focused on the term financial literacy and identifying the factors affecting it, and the concept of financial capability (ability) has not been specifically addressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study, while explaining the conceptual differences between the two words, is to provide a structural model regarding the factors affecting the financial ability of individuals from the perspective of experts through a phenomenological approach. This research is based on a library and interpretive method of qualitative research that has examined the views of 12 Iranian financial experts. The results showed that the proposed model of factors affecting the financial ability of individuals including 3 main themes of ability, mental framework and communication, 4 categories of skills, attitudes and general and financial motivations as well as 39 factors are influential.

        Interest rate is one of the most important monetary policy instrument in an economy. The changes in interest rate leads to changes in other key economic variables like cost of production, Consequently changes in output and price level. However, like the other developing countries, lack of the advanced financial markets and governmental determination of interest rate , the market interest rate can't be observered in Iran. For this purpose, the main objective of this study is to estimate market interest rate index by using information on proxy variables such as inflation rate, rate of return on housing and amount of liquidity in economy during 1981-2012 by using fuzzy logic method. The empirical result indicates that interest rate has shown a lot of fluctuations over time. The maximum (78/7) and minimum (22/4) interest rate index has been in years 1995 and 1985 respectively.

        Introduction: The jobs that employees have the role of care are naturally susceptible to various types of physical and mental illnesses. Psychological well-being is one of the variables that can act as deterrent and moderating against such issues and problems. This study aims to investigate the role of psychological empowerment in the prediction of psychological well - being in health care workers.Methods: This research is descriptive – correlative study. The statistical population of this study was 720 people of the health care workers of the city of Qayen, among which, using cluster random sampling method, and 250 people were selected as sample. Data were gathered using psychological empowerment questionnaire of Spritzer and Mishra (1995) and psychological well-being of Riff (1995). The results were analyzed using SPSS software whit Pearson correlation coefficient and regression test.Results: The results showed a positive and significant relationship between three dimensions of psychological empowerment (autonomy, meaningfulness, and trust) with psychological well-being, but there was not relationship between two other dimensions of psychological empowerment (competence and effectiveness) with psychological well-being.The results of the regression analysis showed that, among the dimensions of psychological empowerment, two dimensions (trust and self – determination) have the power to predict psychological well - being.Conclusion: Therefore, human resource needs and priorities must always be considered and as far as possible, the empowerment programs in the organization must be carried out.

Structural equation modeling and Smart Plus software then analyzed data. Findings: The results of the test of ten hypotheses in this study showed that there is a significant relationship between managerial support, organizational management support, attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control, with a willingness to accept business. Among the technical factors, the perceived advantages and the relationship between environmental factors, suppliers' pressure and customer pressure, have a significant relationship with the acceptance of electronic business. Research Limitations: In this research, with limitations such as cross-sectional research that limits the ability to generalize outcomes, the lack of a fully relevant internal study for full coverage of the literature and theoretical framework. The most important limitation of this research can be the work and intellectual engagement of the respondents as the statistical population of the research. Therefore, the data collection by the researcher's efforts to understand the goals and potential benefits of research for them to increase the accuracy of answering questionnaire questions and lack of time free respondents were a lengthy process. Originality/Value: This study is in the subject of innovation; based on researcher's research in internal research bases, studies or studies on identifying factors affecting the behavioral tendencies of small and medium-sized enterprise managers in the field of accepting electronic businesses were not observed. Therefore, due to lack of observation of such a study, the present research can be considered as an innovation subject. Manuscript profile

        In the Islamic legal system, young age is considered one of the factors that mitigate criminal liability, and jurists consider puberty as one of the common conditions of obligation. As a result, a child who has committed a crime which has caused hadd (punishment) is not considered to be deserved to Hudud or Qisas (punishments or retaliation in kind). In the penal regulations of Iran, the lack of criminal liability of minors has been explicitly accepted, but at the same time, in crimes with non-ta’zir punishments, educational and punishment measures have been established for them, which in the last part is against the principle of lack of criminal liability of minors. In this regard, in addition to paying attention to the explanation and matching the opinion of experts in the field of Sharia with the minors penal regulations in the field of converting the hadd of theft to Ta'zir, the effective causes of children's delinquency can be checked and evaluated. Most of the studies and researches that are carried out on the axis of social structure, focus on correcting the behavior and thought of this particular group and analyze the effective factors in the deviation or guidance of this age group. Perhaps the most important reason for the special attention of specialists and experts to this issue is the effective role that children will play in the future structure of society.

        This article is part of a study to define, interpret, and explain the "macro-scale" or "ijtihad systematizing and civilizing" infrastructures. The question of the article is: why the realm of ijtihad is practically exclusive to jurisprudence, meaning "individual commandments", and to what extent the scope of ijtihad expands if the evidence of this monopoly is not complete? The hypothesis of the author is about the meaning of ijtihad and its domain: "Ijtihad is a methodological and reasoning epistemic attempt to obtain the opinion of God (including descriptions and prescriptions) from authentic sources based on authentic evidence". According to this hypothesis, Ijtihad does not devote to jurisprudence, and it flows in the whole of religion; it has three axes that support this hypothesis: 1. Review the concept and scope of the "verb" in the definition of jurisprudence; 2. Revise the scope of sentence Shari'a; 3. Reviewing the concept and scope of "authority" in defining ijtihad.

        The present paper is an introduction to the field of useful psychology theories in management accounting studies aimed at their identification and application. Although other social science theories are used to explain and predict behavior in management accounting research, psychology is different from them and concentrates on individual’s mental phenomena instead of organizational and objective ones. This is a qualitative research based on theoretical studies relevant to the topic that takes shape through identifying and summarizing relevant literature in psychology and their application in management accounting. Based on this research, psychological theories in management accounting have been classified in terms of incentive effects and information impacts. In literature, incentive effects of reference points, the internal contradiction or inconsistency between mental representation and behavior have been broached and analyzed in terms of the theories of target-setting, the ideal level, organizational justice, prospect, cognitive abnormality, predication and cognition of the environment. Issues such as the effect of information on decision-making, judgments, search method and processing with limited logic as well as the individuals’ mental representation of the environment and organization have been addressed and expressed in the context of social and cognitive psychology theories. Results indicate that psychological theories with deeper focus on and deeper understanding of individuals’ mental phenomena, rather than organizational objective phenomena, can be used to describe and analyze the causes and effects of management accounting techniques. Too, the effect of a certain type of management accounting method on individuals’ behavior may not depend only on the quality of formal and objective goals for action and the factors that influence people's welfare; rather the method of understanding of people from practical methods and how attention, cognition or incentives stimulate people are also effective .As a result, it becomes increasingly apparent that multiple psychological theories have potential relationship with each of management accounting methods Manuscript profile

        This research is aimed to apply three different approaches toward costing (namely traditional, TDABC, and Fuzzy TDABC) to calculate actual costs in “Lo’ab Yas Fars Co.”. Three main hypotheses were stated for this research, that each one is involved comparing methods for calculating actual cost two by two. Required data for assess in comparing these hypotheses are gathered through library and field research. These data were related to Year 1391, (Persian calendar) and inserted in all three models. To confirm or reject each hypothesis, both parametric and non-parametric statistical tests were used. The results confirmed the hypotheses 1 (claiming that there are significant differences between results of the traditional and TDABC systems) and 3 (claiming there are significant differences between the results of TDABC and fuzzy TDABC); however, a significant difference was not found between the traditional and fuzzy TDABC systems (hypothesis no. 2). Generally, it can be concluded that TDABC system supported by equations and temporal stimulants is able to calculate the actual cost with more precision and accuracy.   Manuscript profile

        One of the important aspects in tax sustainability that has not been paid much attention in past studies is the strategies of talent acquisition of tax auditors that in this study, based on Atanasov's intuitive fuzzy logic approach, an attempt has been made to identify the most effective green tax sustainability consequences by screening tax auditor’s talent strategies. This study is developmental in terms of methodology and it is a mixed research in terms of data collection type. In this research, in the qualitative part, based on meta-composite analysis processes, it was tried to first identify the researches related to the two concepts of tax auditor talent strategies and green tax sustainability consequences, and then determine the research components and themes based on the critical evaluation scale. In addition, in the continuation of the qualitative part, Delphi analysis used to determine the limit of theoretical consensus. In the quantitative part, with the aim of determining the most effective talent search strategy for tax auditors in the most favorable consequences of green tax sustainability, intuitive fuzzy evaluation used based on Atanasov's logic. In this research, 12 tax audit research experts at the university level participated in the qualitative part and 25 tax auditors filled in the matrix questionnaires in the quantitative part. The results in the qualitative part indicate the existence of 5 themes as tax auditor’s talent strategies and 4 components as the green tax sustainability consequences. The results in the quantitative part also showed based on the fuzzy Vicor analysis process, the most important parameter of the research topics (talent finding strategies of tax auditors) is the function of professional maturity. It was also found that the most desirable consequence of green tax sustainability is the reduction of environmental pollution based on the effect of the theme of professional maturity. The obtained result shows that the companies, based on the improvement of the functions based on the professional maturity of the tax auditors, can understand that by strengthening their operational processes based on upgrading the level of technology and waste recycling, they should be responsible for reducing environmental pollution. Take action and this process can gradually become a part of the social norms of the companies in front of the beneficiaries. Manuscript profile

        This research investigates the effects of psychological distance on judgment and decisionmaking in accounting. Construal level theory of psychological distance, a framework recently developed in the field of social psychology, constitutes the theoretical foundation for this study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of spatial distance and risk category on risk managers’ probability assessment regarding the occurrence of different risk factors. The statistical population of the research is the corporate risk managers and the domain of the time of research is 1396. Chi-square, covariance analysis and multiple regression models were used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The results show that spatial distance influences decision makers' judgment about the possibility of realizing different risk factors. As anticipated, results show that risk managers who evaluate a spatially remote risk target judge the probability that various risk factors will materialize to be lower than their counterparts who evaluate a spatially proximate risk target. Furthermore, no support is found for the prediction that risk managers perceive operational risk factors as more likely to occur than non-operational risk factors. Overall, the results of this study show that psychological distance and level of abstraction resulting from it systematically affects judgments and evaluations of organizational decision makers (accountants and managers).Thus, the present research identifies the psychological distance as a potential source of decision-making orientation during the risk assessment process. Therefore, decision makers should pay attention to the critical role of mental interpretation in individual judgment and decision making. Manuscript profile

        Drought occurrence is more than wet years in the North of Iran, while no specific climatic trend has been observed in the region in terms of declining precipitation in the years leading up to recent decades. In terms of spatial pattern, the occurrence of droughts and wet years did not follow a specific trend and mostly did not have special synchronicity and coordination between different regions of the province. In this study, the intensity of hydrological droughts in the rivers with a snowy-icy flow regime in Mazandaran province was studied and classified (weak, severe, and very severe) by sequence theory method with the standard index of minimum flow of 30 days. The independence of the hydrological behavior of the rivers, especially in drought status, the differences in the topographic and physical attributes of watersheds, the independence of the minimum discharge threshold in drought conditions, and consequently the difference in the microclimates caused that this index was different even in different seasons of the year. The very severe intensity index of the Chalous river was -1.486 in the autumn and this index was -0.743 in Cheshmeh Kile river with a similar hydrologic regime and at the same time, in the regional analysis, it was possible to express the classification index of the very severe intensity of hydrological drought in the snowy-icy flow regime was -1.385 in the autumn.

        Roads and highways, as one of the biggest threats to wildlife survival, severely affect the ecological connectivity status of the landscape leading to the fragmentation of existing habitats. This research examines the effect of the Tehran-Mashhad bypass road through the Golestan National Park on the movement of Ovis vignei arkal to identify the best point for locating a connectivity corridor. In this study, multiple scales and theories have been selected to analyze species connectivity. The circuit theory was used for the landscape scale by modeling the bottleneck index, and graph theory was used for the patch scale by calculating the betweenness centrality index (BC). The optimal place for locating the corridor was identified by overlaying the range of the bottleneck index and the shortest path to the patch with the highest BC value. By integrating the circuit and graph theories, the results demonstrated the higher movement patterns in the region's west side due to the higher habitat suitability. Installing a corridor in this spot will be increased the species' movement, maintain its population, prevent species isolation, and consequently improve the state of the downstream habitats.

         Considering the novelty of studies related to Internet addiction in Iran, the investigation andidentification of psychological factors predicting this phenomenon is evident as a research gap; Therefore, thepresent study was conducted with the aimed to identifying the most important psychological antecedents ofInternet addiction through a meta-analytical research procedure. The method of conducting the research is aquantitative meta-analysis. In the process of systematic review, 195 articles were identified from 2002 to 2022,and by carefully studying the text of Persian articles by university professors and experts, 108 articles wereidentified. Life satisfaction (ES, -0.65), problem-oriented coping (ES, -0.45), difficulty in regulating emotions(ES, 0.45), interpersonal sensitivity (ES, 0.45), sensation seeking (ES, 42 0.0), feeling lonely (ES, 0.41),depression (ES, 0.39), anxiety (ES, 0.38), psychological capital (ES, -0.37), depression (ES, 0.36) , stress (ES,0.35) and emotional intelligence (ES, -0.35) were identified as the strongest antecedents, respectively. Due to theheterogeneity in the studies, studies with validity (ES, -0.15) had a larger effect size than studies withoutvalidation (ES, 0.06). Based on the results, the manner of using internet can be related to psychologicalcharacteristics of the internet users. It is expected that these findings not only improve the knowledge of thisfield, but also support protective factors and removing risky behaviors. Additionally, it can be used as a helpfultool in intervention programs in this field.  Manuscript profile

        Adopting a penal populist approach by the criminal justice administrators and policymakers has been one of the most important damages the different systems of criminal justice have been faced with in the recent decades. By reviewing all the available literature on the issue and, using descriptive-analytical methods and library studies, the present research tried to study the penal populism phenomenon through a sociological approach. In other words, as its most important objective, the present research is concerned with explaining and analyzing sociological contexts leading to the formation of penal populism. The findings showed that different sociological contexts help in rising penal populism phenomenon in a criminal justice system and criminal policy - from which public ignorance, undeniable impacts of mass media, and ever increased public fear of crime can be mentioned as the most important ones. It seems that, controlling or decreasing social contexts which result in penal populism require ever more increasing of mass awareness, optima and consistent management of mass media, and ever more use of criminological and sociological findings in the process of fighting crimes.

        This paper introduces the sociological approach in studying theEngineering as a social organization and evaluating the relationshipbetween engineering and society. The focus, here, is on qualifyingengineering education and training the engineers sensitive to socialvalues. First, I explain the relationship between engineering and societyin such extent that interacting each other. Then, it is claimed that therole of engineering is illustrated in details in the modern society ratherthan the traditional society. Introducing 14 social problems shows thatengineering is redefined more irrefrangibly to the social context. Itflows that most important achievements of the sociological approachwill be educating and training “engineer-sociologist”. The ideaengineer-sociologist is preferred as a strategic policy in the engineeringeducation by which is introduced the humanistic, ethical and socialvalues promotion in variety technologies and their applications inartifacts production and development. Teachers and students are themain practitioners in this education and research program. It is thusrecognized that interdisciplinary studies of the engineering andsociology as an independent and necessary filed where the socialproblems of the technologies and the engineering enterprises would beinvestigated Manuscript profile

        The theodicy of John Hick under the name of “Soul-Making” is one ofthe famous solutions to the problem of evil. It has been borrowed fromIrenaeus. Hick believes that God has created a lot of evils in this worldand Man in dealing with life and world’s evils, has attained goodnessby confronting with them and becomes like Jesus. Hick’s opinion hasbeen criticized by two contemporary philosophers; Stephen T. Davisand Brian Davis. They say that Hick is not right. In fact, they say that ifman becomes more spiritual and moral entity during the process of life,consequently, modern people must be more spiritual and moral thantheir ancestors, but this has never been true. And again some sufferings,in other words disteleological sufferings, not only do they have anyuseful effect, but, on the contrary they have opposite result. Manuscript profile

        AbstractThe truthmaker principle – which looks to be based upon a seeminglyplausible intuition – faces a number of troubles, including that ofnegative truths. According to the truthmaker principle, truepropositions are true in virtue of what exists. But, intuitively, negativetruths are true in virtue of what does not exist. Adding negative facts toone’s ontology isa metaphysical cost that has been paid to solve theproblem of negative truths. In this paper, I firstly mention somepreliminary issues about the truthmaker principle. After enumeratingpossible solutions to negative truths, I will deal with the solution whichappeals to negative facts. Then I will argue that which kind of negativefacts does better its jobs. In the rest of the paper, I will disallow somepropounded difficulties with this solution. Afterwards, I will illustratethat negative facts face three new problems. Manuscript profile

        Critical rationalism is an approach to biological behavior, and especially to science, that has been introduced by Karl Popper. But his views on the rejection of induction and justification have met with opposition from Susan Haacke as a philosopher of logic. In this article, we will evaluate Haacke's view of Popper's views as logical negativity, and show that Haacke makes every effort to maintain justification methods in various interpretations and forms, mostly under the shadow of induction. We will also show that Haacke's critique of Popper, due to his tendency to justify, suffers from some psychological and semantic confusion with epistemological issues. In response, we will see that Popper denies the connection between rationality and justification, and essentially considers justification impossible, and proposes a three-step model, including problem-solving, finding innovative solutions to the problem, and eliminating some of which there is no need for justification. And there is no supporting evidence. The product of such an approach would be to present creative conjectures and conjectures that, while accepting the existence of an ideal truth and a reality outside our minds, do not establish any relation of reality or truth to the hypotheses, and as a result We will be safe from the problems of justification. That is why we are always ready to criticize our solutions and take a more modest position on our hypotheses and theories. Manuscript profile

        Much has been said in discussions concerning literary criticism fromthe position of the writer and the reader deciding the type of theexisting readings and claims in criticisms. But the problem is that theidentity of the writers and readers of various texts are not preciselydefinite and determined in a way we could be able to establish ourcritic claims. How could we deal with such a problem and what mightbe the solution to it? The concepts such as “the real individual”,“typical individual” and the broader concept of “the logic of situation”have been applied here to find a solution to this problem and all thesediscussions have become an introduction to Roland Barth's “the deathof the writer” theory. And here Roland Barth's viewpoints can bechallenged. A study of Barth's theory according to the concept of “thelogic of situation” can lead us to results contradictory with those ofBarth's. In fact, the work done here in this article is that the theory of 'the death of the writer' has been applied to that theory itself; that is, theconsequences of Barth's theory have been studied independent from hisown intentions.

        The meaning and it's relation with the word is the first problem in thetheatrical linguistics. Wittgenstein believes in the, Picture theory ofmeaning, the significant depends on two poles, true pole and false pole.Therefore in his oponion, the statements that aren't empirical aren'tpropositions. Because the Propositions explainers the reality but thestatements aren't empirical so doesn’t represent anything. He critiqueshis opinions in the “Philosophical Investigations” about the meaningand its relations with the facts. In this book he believes the meaning ofa word is in its Use, and how it uses in the sentence and we must askabout its Use in the sentence. His mistake in the Tractatus was a kind ofincorrect judgment about, the meaning, but he tries to reform it in thePhilosophical investigations. This essay represents the verification thatis acceptable for positivists have three problems:necessary necessary in every dimension". But unlike to Anselem theydo not prove the existence of God through this definition. they proveGod's attributes by this. Then the kant's Objections to this argument hasbeen discussed.The article continues with a second version of this argument. Thisversion avoids kant's Objections and try to prove God on the basis ofnecessity of His being. If we can show that the proposition of "Godexists" is necesserily true, then this proposition is true in all possibleworlds. In the end Mulla Sadra's view of the rule of "necessary being isnecessary in every dimension" has been discussed and shown that thisview is compatible with the second version of ontological argument Manuscript profile

Thebackground had been painted in Wittgensetinian colors, which weredeemed by Carnap to be rusty, dogmatic and unacceptable. It beginswith the primary satisfaction of logical empiricists with Wittgensteinianapproach to truth and the status of logical sentences (a satisfactionwhich ended to a deep dissatisfaction soon enough). Then I attend toCarnap's remarkable criticisms of Wittgenstein's absolutist point ofview, which is devoid of necessary conventional elements. At the end,we will see that Carnap's attempt at suggesting an alternative schemefor explaining the status of logical and mathematical sentences, as it isput forward in Logical Syntax of Language (1934), suffers from similarshortcomings. This does not need to debase the brilliant points whichemerged out of Carnap's critical reading of Wittgenstein's philosophy,though. Manuscript profile

The aim of this paper is to show that, philosophically,pragmatism supports Copenhagen interpretation more intensively,whether or not the initiators of the interpretation, such as Niels Bohr asthe most important figure of the interpretation, were aware of that. Weproclaim that some elements of the interpretation, which are consistentwith logical positivism, are perfectly supported by pragmatism. Someof these elements are: weak objectivism, senselessness of the conceptof “thing in itself”, instrumentalist approaches to theories, and theavoidance to deal with ontological issues irrespective of experiment.Furthermore, and more particularly, it is argued that pragmatismespouses some of other fundamental and important elements ofCopenhagen interpretation such as holism, uncertainty principle, andcomplementarity.

To dothis end, it undertakes first to define the notion and historicalbackground of the term "fuzzy" and then proceeds to describe thefuzzy worldview. It then goes on to expound, what is meant by "fuzzylogic" explaining and proving its theoretical principles andfundamental theorems. While introducing the "fuzzy notion" andanalyzing its relation to categories such as "knowledge" and "hikma",the author goes on to discuss the relation between mysticism on theone hand and fuzzy logic and thinking on the other. Accordingly.mysticism enjoys naturally such characteristics that are in harmonywith corresponding ones in fuzzy thinking. For this reason, mysticismshould be considered as a quasi- fuzzy thinking.

Someother points which seem neither correct nor incorrect, stimulating me tomodify my translation, are explicated.

Wherever there is philosophical thinking ,particularly phenomenological thinking, whatever is “hors de sujet”,including personal implausibility and individual pain, ought to bedismissed. According to Aristotle: ‘Amicus Plato, set magis amicarerites’.Finally, there are two points which are important: first, answering to all ofthe critic’s notes is impossible because of the standards of this journal(about the bulk of content).

In this study, two cities (Darreh Shahr and Abdanan of Ilam province) were considered as geographical scope and impact of environmental factors on the destruction of archaeological sites were studied. In this research, GIS software was used for overlaying environmental factors and also TOPSIS model was used for ranking impact factors on archaeological sites. Ten environmental factors such as height, aspect, slope, rainfall, temperature, erosion class, distance from river and fault, land use and geological formations were selected as affecting factors on these sites. Results shows that rainfall, aspect and geological formations are more effective on destruction of archaeological sites. Also impact of these factors on the archaeological sites of the cities seems equal. Manuscript profile

        Estimation of rivers sediment load is one of the most important problems for designof hydraulic structures, investigating water quality, conserving fish habitate, estimatingerosion and determining watershed management effects.There is two metheod for estimating sediment load: empirical and regressionmethods. Existence of numerous empirical methods for estimation of river sedimentload, a wide range of calibration coefficients shows that a suitable analytical orempirical method does not yet exist to accurately estimate the sediment load.Therefore, the measured discharges and sediment concentrations in hydrometrystations are statistically analyses for an accurate estimation of sediment loads in rivers.In usual statistical methods a power function is generally fitted on the data sets of flowand sediment discharge and thus the total sediment load could be calculated using thisfunction. These methods are not able to recognize and separate the specific datameasuring conditions. Therefore, they are not only able to accurately estimate thesediment load, but also can not show the temporal variation of sediment loads. In spiteof this problems, researcher are using Artificial Intelligence methods such as FuzzyLogic, nowadays.In this study, the measured suspended sediment load at hydrometry stations ofTelvar River is analyzed using USBR and FAO methods (usual statistical methods).Furthermore, Sediment suspended load are estimated with a model developed based onFuzzy Logic rules. Then the results of these mothods are compared. This researchstudy has shown that the temporal variation of sediment loads can be analyzed using afuzzy method. Also the, results obtained using the fuzzy method in comparison withthe corresponding values obtained using the usual statistical methods shows a bettercorrelation with the observed values. In all stations the fuzzy method estimated thesediment loads between ones obtained using statistical methods. Manuscript profile

Itis currently cultivated in an expansive area covering approximately 34000hectare inthe southern coast of the Caspian Sea and now over 107 plants are processing andproducing this crop in different areas of tea cultivation.By recently years about 47.6 percent of national tea consumption was supplieddomestically and the rest was imported. In recent years, the NDP share in proportion towhole national consumption has degraded (decreased) to 12.5%. Now over onehundred years have passed since the earlier date of tea cultivation begun. Thisindustry, however faces its critical conditions.This crisis was intensified and accelerated in 2004 due to the refusal show by plants tobuy the green tea leaf .This research mainly aims to identity the existing problems of tea cultivation andindustry as well as the effective factors affecting it. The research is based on data thatwere obtained through field research in eleven model tea cultivation farm and throughstudying some documents extracted from archives in national tea organization andother processed sources. Additionally, the collected data were analyzed by reviewingcorrelation coefficient between the variables. Also Spearman's non-parametriccorrelation coefficient was used to investigate the linear correlation betweenqualitative variables.The result shows that the ecological condition, land ownes system, green leafpricing system and policy, method of producing tea and commercial system allconstitute interrelated collection that influence the crisis of tea cultivation and industryin Iran. As a result, Iranian tea has no suitable quality and the authorities can notsupply more qualitative tea than the competition. Manuscript profile

The aim of this research is study of different types oferosion in Navroud watershed basin, investigation of the intensity of erosion, sedimentproduction and the factors effective in this relation. The physiological, topographic, climatic,geological and geomorphological specifications, plant covering, soil, erosion and sedimentproduction were generally studied. The area of the basin is about 265.46 square kilometers.Then with integration of the original work units and their petrological structure. The intensityof erosion and sediment production in each work unit was investigated with use of(qualtitative) FAO (experimental method). On the basis of the obtained results subbasins Nos.Also they have the most amount of sediment production as compared with the othersubbasins. Some of the reasons include the great slope, change of application, ruining offorests and pastures, construction of roads and existence of the formations sensitive toerosion. The other subbasins have the least amount of erosion and sedimentation, becausetheir formation is resistant to erosion and generally includes biotite, sandy lime, tuff andandesite. Generally the results of this research show that in each work unit, slop is the mostimportant factor of erosion and this is true in some of the outcrops. The most considerablefactors for occurrence of erosion in a basin include application change, forests and pasturesruining, road construction and very great slope. Manuscript profile

        Green spaces represent an indispensible role and specific significance in today’s urban life. The importance of green spaces is to such an extent that experts regard such spaces as the “lungs” of cities. Nowadays, remote assessment applications, such as satellite imagery, have become especially important. Of course, analyzing the changes via such applications demands frequently updated images. In the present study, GIS/RS technology was used to investigate geomorphological patterns of change in urban spaces in Shiraz city, Iran, within a 38-year statistical period (1976-2014). To conduct the research, a normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of Landsat satellite images (1, 8) and ETM+ and MSS sensors were processed in ENVI4.8. The maps of green space changes and the geomorphological perspective within the said period were prepared in GIS. Results revealed that the green space in Shiraz, within the period under study, was reduced more than 61.17%. The average of green space in the city was 57.11 m2 in 1976 which was reduced to 10 m2 in 2014. Manuscript profile

With respect to these objectives and removing the concentrationof industries in Tehran, industrial site selection in province of Ghazvin has been doneby systematical analysis method, based on Boolean Algebra in the 1:250000 scale,using map overlaying method.So environmental resources were studied, analyzed, classified in 2 categories:Ecologic and Social-Economic, then measuring the ecological capacity of the land wasdone after overlaying the layers in GIS. As a result after removing areas in whichindustrial plantation was prohibited, 2 areas with the capacity of 1 and 11 areas withthe capacity of 2 were selected.At last, prioritizing of the sites was done in a quantitative way by considering socioeconomicalcharacteristics in GIS. finally sites with priority of 1 up to 4 wererecognized. As a result industrial development with respect to environmental and socioeconomical criteria can be done in these areas. The proposal of locating industries inthe industrial estates and eco industrial parks will give rise to the environmentalconservation concepts. Manuscript profile

        Introduction and results: Frequent fluctuations of disaster management process in Iran and efforts in order to achieve an influential disaster management system and its successful conduct is still one of the existing challenges in this field. The presentation of the modern approach of development  entitled “the Capability Approach” by Amarty a Sen, the one and only Asian scientist who won the Noble prize for economics, on one hand and the acceptance of “the Community- Based  approach” on the other hand, is considered as one of the newest theories of disaster management among the experts, which by exploiting the collaborative approaches and concentrating on stemming of vulnerability has placed emphasis on the achievement of stable development as its final goal. On the other hand, it caused efforts to be made in this article so while presenting a conceptual model, explain the mutual relation between these two approaches. Method: This project was shaped in the shadow of the hermeneutic approach, in which the researchers were seeking to present a phenomenological explanation in order to create a correct understanding of the two approaches of capability and community- based. For this purpose and to make a bond among abstract propositions in the process of this project and under the influence of rational epistemology, the analytical- logical method was applied and the final model of the project was rooted and extracted via applying research method. Findings: state the existence of a synergetic and interactive relation between these two approaches Conclusion: The results of the research state the existence of a synergetic and interactive relation between these two approaches. In reality, it can be stated that the community- based approach, is an effective tool and phenomenon for the expansion of the capability approach in the process of economic development. Mutually, the theoretic and philosophical depth of the capability approach can bring forth the optimum management and design of the community- based approach of disaster management.   Manuscript profile

        Introduction & Objective: Recognition of climatic variables affecting the thermal comfort and morphology created in the open spaces of residential complexes made it possible to provide appropriate solutions to increase the quality of open environments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study the formal geometry and shape structure of residential complexes on the thermal comfort of open spaces to increase the quality of the ambient and the use of users. Methodology: This research is applied in terms of purpose, and the method is quantitative. Four forms of common types of urban residential complexes in Shiraz have been selected with a linear pattern, regular and irregular complexes, central (environmental) and combined (mixed) and have been studied and analyzed in three short cases of 3-storey, medium-height 6-storey and high-rise 12 floors. Methods: To analyze the data, the simulation has been performed by considering the form and orientations in four different patterns in the current situation and by analyzing the results of the simulation with different geometric forms. And their measurement is done using ENVI-met software. Then, using climatic data in Rayman software, the physiologically equivalent temperature is obtained. Findings and Discussion: The results showed that the form of composite and complex blocks in the short case has a better performance in terms of thermal comfort due to more shading. In the mid-height mode, due to the higher wind speed and shading, and the linear form due to the higher wind speed, they have more favorable conditions in terms of thermal comfort and the least critical hours. In the form of composite and complex blocks in the mid-height state, increasing the height reduces the wind movement in other places and the efficiency of these two forms decreases. In the high-height mode, the peripheral and linear blocks have higher wind speeds and more favorable conditions in thermal comfort due to the elongation of the form. Finally, considering the differences in the morphology of residential complexes, it will affect the amount of thermal comfort and utilization of the environment.   Manuscript profile

        Introduction and Purpose: negative environmental consequences happened in the world, which is caused by the lack of proper attention to economic development and its impact on the natural environment. In this regard, there are different approaches related to green architecture that encourage designers to conserve energy, consider the local characteristics of the place, work with the users of the building and the surrounding communities, reduce the use of non-renewable resources, pay attention to the climate of the place, and be holistic. International standards in different countries have been developed based on these principles, among which we can refer to the LEED standard, which stands for Energy and Environmental Design Guide, and BREEAM, the building environmental quality assessment standard. The purpose of the current research is to compile BREEAM and LEED indicators on the improvement of schools with an ecological approach in secondary schools in the desert provinces of Iran. Method: Descriptive-analytical method is used to evaluate the components and the statistical population includes secondary schools in desert provinces, which schools and their users were randomly selected to answer the questionnaires. Findings: The coefficient of impact of waste, materials and resources, pollution, management, transportation and water efficiency on the improvement of schools is positive and significant with an emphasis on ecological approaches. Among the parameters, water is the first priority, and water efficiency is the second priority, materials and resources are the third priority, energy and atmosphere are the fourth priority, and transportation is the fifth. Conclusion: The results of the present study, based on exploratory factor analysis, show that BREEAM and LEED indicators are suitable for evaluating school improvements.   Manuscript profile

        Water is as a valuable material that is limited and is used for economic sections such as production, infrastructure and services. Urban water distribution network and healthy sewerage system like many other utilities, traditionally was the duties of government. But current experiments show that provision of utilities needed wasn't according to expectations. In law of amendment of article of fourth plan of government development, privatization has been chosen as a solution for solving these problems. What are obstacles of privatization of water and wastewater companies (Tehran)? To know obstacles, some descriptive research with applicatory aim was done. In first questionnaire, 39 experts' opinions were taken about (Tehran) water and wastewater industry section which were faculty member of water and sewage department of university in water and electricity industry, and in second questionnaire 15 persons' opinions was taken. The result of research according to current hypothesis is that there are structural, economic, social and cultural, legal, and political obstacles in privatization of water and sewage companies especially in Tehran to private sector. By using dematel and fuzzy logy, economic, “social and cultural” obstacles as effective and other “legal”, “structural” and “political” obstacles are influenced by two former obstacles. So by decreasing economic, social and cultural obstacles because of affecting on other obstacles, changes in direction of decreasing legal, structural and political obstacles would happen.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction and purpose: Nowadays, due to the increase in population in Iran, high-rise residential buildings are expanding and it brings the dissatisfaction of the residents. The mental image of residents of high-rise buildings can affect the residents' feelings about the environment. The current research is fundamental in terms of its purpose; Because it seeks to present a mental image model in the evaluation of tall residential buildings. Method: In this regard, first, using the descriptive-analytical method, the definition of the concept of residence and its investigation in high-rise residential buildings, as well as the mental image, are discussed. Then, with a quantitative approach and using a questionnaire, it is measured which factors and in what dimensions are effective on the mental image in measuring high-rise residential buildings. The research data collection method is a combination of library studies (theoretical) and field studies and surveys based on questionnaires. Findings: In the first step, the physical and psychological factors affecting the residents' mental image were investigated and identified using exploratory factor analysis. Then, in the second step, recognition of the contribution of the set of factors in explaining the variance of each item (table of commonalities) was done, and finally, in the third step, the total value of explained variance was presented. Conclusion: The obtained results show that the mental image in high-rise buildings needs to be evaluated in two physical and psychological dimensions, and since the residents are more sensitive to their living place than urban spaces, two partial dimensions and general are also added to the evaluation model. Therefore, according to the examination of different models of the mental image, Echner and Ritchie's model with a slight change and removal of the third spectrum is the most consistent with the goals of the mental image in the evaluation of high-rise residential buildings, why in the functional-general dimensions And a partial function is used to examine physical factors, and psychological-general and psychological-partial dimensions are used to examine psychological factors.     Manuscript profile

        Introduction and Objective: Evaluation of ecological capacity, is assessment of land inventory and potentials of land with clear and pre-planned criteria. These studies are used as a basis for decision-making and planning of land all over the world. Evaluation of the environment ecological capacity, is an intermediate step in land surveying process, in fact, land evaluation, provides fundamental  information for the second phase, which includes selecting the most appropriate land use and land use management system. Since the purpose of land surveying is to determine the results of the physical, biological and socioeconomic for most appropriate and most likely land use choice in the planning area. The purpose of this study is evaluation of ecological capacity in villages of Lavasan City for different uses to determine which village is more suitable for which plan, and to save costs and resources in this area. Method:This paper has tried to review the role of each village and set priorities to be addressed in these roles through the selection of indicators that are common among all ecological constructions. In the next step with considering the villages with ecotourism priority, review of various types of outdoor recreation and sightseeing was performed, and its role in economical development of village is studied. Finally solutions that will enhance economic development in these villages are investigated and provided. Findings: According to the Studies and reviews on ecological capabilities of villages in Lavasan city and determination of their roles, the results confirm that the three villages of Afjeh, Barg-e-Jahan and Kond-e-Olia are categorized in Tourism Ecological Model. In this stage, each and every residential areas are evaluated according to the application models. An assessed residential area might be capable of being used for multiple land uses while in most cases it is not possible to implement more than one land use on that area. With this situation we have to prioritize various land uses and during this step, chose the best possible option for each residential area and organize its relevant applications. Conclusion: According to the result of this study, there is potential for development of echo-tourism activities in Lavasan and few nearby rural areas. The researches show that among the 10 studied villages – whose ecological capacities were assessed – the three villages of Afjeh, Barg-e-Jahan and Kond-e-Olia are categorized in Tourism Ecological Model. In this regard, with considering the natural and climatic features of Lavasan area – in comparison with other locations in region – it has more potential for special investments for creating new economical hubs.   Manuscript profile

        The resilience of social-ecological systems to environmental changes such as climate change requires the guarantee of environmental systems such as water supply systems and human resources such as resource governance systems and stakeholder participation. In Iran, the International Carbon Sequestration Project, in cooperation, was initially launched in 2005 with the aim of preventing the phenomenon of desertification. Therefore, in this study, the local communities of the three target areas of this project, including Khatam, Jajarm and Oghan watershed of Galikesh and the impact of the project on the broaden of stakeholder participation were examined. For this purpose, two villages from each region were selected by simple random sampling and a questionnaire measuring the broaden participation among farmers and ranchers in the target villages was completed. The results showed that the implementation of carbon sequestration plan in the three study areas in the five dimensions studied did not increase the broaden participation to an acceptable level. Also, the comparison of the performance of the three regions showed that in Jajarm, the weakest performance and in Galikesh, the best performance has been done in order to expand the participation of stakeholders. Indicators of broaden participation were acceptable only in Ogan watershed and Khatam in 14 out of 90 possible cases. As a result, transparency of goals and expectations, presence and involvement of stakeholders, facilitation, and leadership, capacity building, power, and sourcing in all aspects of social, economic, organizational, infrastructure, and social capital have not performed well. Therefore, the resilience of ecosystem services in the three study areas will be jeopardized due to the lack of expansion of stakeholder participation. Manuscript profile

For this purpose, 118 experts from the country's management and planning organization, the vice president for strategic planning and supervision, as the only reliable institution with a comprehensive view and using the census technique, were selected and answered questions related to the characteristics of socio-ecological agricultural systems of Iran through a questionnaire. The findings obtained using the canonical correlation analysis method showed that the characteristics of the social system have a significant relationship with the reorganization of the social-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture. The canonical correlation analysis showed two significant sets between the features of the social system and the reorganization of social-ecological agricultural systems, and the significance level of 0.000 with a probability of 99 percent confirmed the existence of a canonical correlation between the two sets of variables. The results of canonical correlation showed that the total canonical coefficient between the social system and reorganization is 0.811 x 0.811, which shows the correlation between the two hidden variables at the rate of 0.65, so such a social system plays a role, it is effective and dynamic in the context of the sustainability of the socio-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture.

        Avian influenza virus as a primary agent causes histopathologic lesions in infected chickens. Although, it was not any complete histopathologic study of ORT effects on chickens infected with avian influenza virus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate histopathological lesions induced by secondary infection with Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale on infected specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens with H9N2 AI virus. Sixty, one-day-old SPF chicks were provided and divided randomly into three groups. At 21 days, the chicks in the group 1 were inoculated with H9N2 AI virus, group 2 was first infected by AI virus and 3 days later inoculated by ORT. Each bird in control group was inoculated with PBS. Then, the birds were euthanized and examined for histopathological lesions. The samples from various tissues were collected at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 days post-inoculation (DPI).  Histologic lesions in infected groups were observed as follow: congestion and hyperplasia of epithelium in trachea, pneumonia, hemorrhage and urinary tubules necrosis in kidneys, congestion of sinusoid spaces and portal vein in liver, lymphocyte depletion in the bursa of fabricius, hyperplasia of lymphoid Follicles in spleen, congestion and heterophil infiltration in thymus and increased of lymphoid Follicles in cecal tonsil. The results of this study showed that infected chickens by H9N2 AI virus under secondary infection with ORT cause increased histopathological lesions induced by virus. Manuscript profile

        Gastrointestinal parasites (GIN) cause weight loss and reduced productions especially in small ruminant especially in subclinical parasitic infections. Severity of infection depends on geographical condition and climate area. Information about various parasites can be effective in better diagnosis and treatment. Parabronema skrjabini is one of a common abomasal nematode. No study is present on the pathologic findings and hypobiotic larvae of this nematode in the veterinary literature. Therefore, this study was designed to determine the prevalence of parasite, pathologic lesions and arrested larval stage in sheep and goats in Kerman province. In the present study, the abomasums of 1189 slaughtered sheep and goats were selected randomly and examined grossly for detection of nematodes. 807 (67.87%) out of 1189 infected abomasums with different nematodes that 307 (32/12%) samples showed pure contamination with Parabronema skrjabini. 247out of 307 abomasums were randomly selected for tissue digestion with pepsin and histopathologic investigation. No larvae were found in digested tissues. In pathologic study, the mucosal erosions and ulcers, thickening of abomasum mucosal later and increasing mucus secretion were grossly observed. Histopathologic study showed hyperplasia of mucosal cells, decreasing of parietal cells, inflammatory reaction including lymphocytes and eosinophils infiltration associated with different sections of adult nematode in the abomasal glands. Also, granulomatous inflammation was found around some nematode sections.  Manuscript profile

        Determination of histopathological criteria of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (CNP), as the most common type of prostatitis syndrome, is highly effective to better understanding of pathophysiology and finding therapeutic strategies of this disease. Interest in pentoxifylline (PTX) has been renewed because of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential of this drug. The aim of this study was to evaluate histopathological criteria of CNP in rat and to investigate the effectiveness of pentoxifylline on these criteria. Thirty male adult Wistar rats were divided into negative control, CNP control, standard and treatment groups. The negative control group received orally 1 ml saline normal for 21 consecutive days CNP was induced by single intraprostatic injection of 1% carrageenan (100 µl) in CNP control, standard and treatment groups. CNP control, standard and treatment groups received orally 1 ml saline normal, cernilton 100 mg/kg and PTX at 50 and 100 mg/kg 1 week after CNP induction for 21 consecutive days. Results showed that in the CNP control group, the PI was significantly increased as compared to negative control group (P<0.01). A significant reduction in the PI was observed in standard and treatment groups, especially PTX 50 mg/kg, in comparison with the CNP control group (P<0.05). Histopathological studies have shown a considerable improvement in the prostatic histoarchitecture in standard and treatment groups, especially PTX 50 mg/kg, in comparison with the CNP control group.

        Iran is one of the most exclusive antidote producers within the Middle East. Blood serum production of high quality treatment and fewer side effects have a significant impact on public health. This may only be attainable if eutherian and animal health are to be provided. The employment of sports activities as a nonpharmacological method will play a crucial role in maintaining and improving the health of the livestock. The purpose of this study was to investigate the result of aerobic exercises on hematological factors in antidote production horses. Sixteen horses were arbitrarily divided into two groups of venom and venom + training group for 22 weeks within the antidote production cycle. The exercise protocol consisted of three sessions of aerobic exercise per week, with moderate intensity. Blood samples at three different times: Before the beginning of the protocol, end of the 11-week period and therefore the end of the 22-week period were collected through the jugular vein and evaluated by repeated measures of variance analysis. The results showed that almost all of the measured factors reduced the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count and white blood cells, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils and MCV n each groups, whereas the number of lymphocytes, MCH and MCHC increased (P <0.05). In sum, the results of this study showed that physical activity and venom are each factors influencing hematological factors, Although most of the results were influenced by the effect of the venom, the impact level within the venom + training group was less than that of the venom group.

At the end point, blood specimens were taken from wing vein and after the preparation of the serum samples, the following biochemical factors were measured using standard assay kits: total protein, albumin, globulin, triglyceride, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein as well as hepatic enzymes activates including, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase and gamma-glutamyltransferase. The number of lymphocytes and heterophiles also were counted. Furthermore, immunoglobulin contents were measured in serum samples. The obtained results showed that the herbal supplement can significantly alter all of the aforementioned factors in both races compared to the control. In addition, racial differences of the parameters including cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, lymphocytes, heterophiles, ALT activity and IgM were recorded in control groups. Conclusively, supplementation with Z. multiflora powder can improve hematological and biochemical parameters in both races. However, the immunoglobulin contents did not change remarkably and seems like the higher amounts of the herbal powder should be used to improve immunological responses. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Evaluating the response of rivers to natural changes and man-made manipulations are of great importance in managing river water quality. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the negative effects of quantitative management without qualitative management of river flow. In this regard, by simulating water quality in river exploitation scenarios based on environmental policies, including minimum flow allocation, reduction of flow quality from aquaculture standards, taking into account the quality factors and pollution caused by the development of marginal urban communities, will be discussed.Method: The present study, which should be omitted was conducted on the Azadrud River in the Sarvabad region of Kurdistan Province. In this regard, by measuring quantitative and qualitative parameters in two monthly periods, the QUAL2KW quality model was calibrated and validated. In the first part of the study, the quality of the river along 22 km was simulated by changing the flow rate based on flow allocation scenarios in the Tenant method, and in the second part, the values of qualitative parameters in different flow management scenarios were compared with the accepted standard values for aquaculture (fish).Results: Based on the results, while the minimum environmental discharge according to the Tenant method for the studied river is 1.1 m3/sec, the critical quality discharge for March and April were estimated at 7.7 and 10 m3/sec, respectively. The study showed that the poor tenant scenario is not suitable for allocating the minimum environmental flow to meet the quality requirements of the river at all. Conclusion: The results showed that the conventional flow allocation method, i.e., without considering the quality conditions of the river, is not suitable and can cause serious damage to the environmental conditions of the river. This study showed that ignoring the quality conditions at the time of flow allocation causes the ecological health of the stream to be lost and the river to not meet the required standard for aquaculture.

        In this paper climate change impacts on hydrological regime of a mountainous river basin is assessed. In order to do that, scenarios of global climate models are downscaled by using change factor method. The climate scenarios are used as inputs of a rainfall-runoff model, which is well calibrated for the basin, and daily stream-flow series for present condition and future scenarios (2067-93) are simulated. By comparison of river-flow characteristics for present condition and future scenarios, the climate change impacts on hydrologic regime of the basin are assessed. for analysis of the emission scenarios uncertainty, scenarios of A2, A1B, and B1, which relevant to high, medium, and low emission scenarios, respectively. Based on the results, basin temperature will increase between 3 to 5 Celsius degrees and potential evapotranspiration will increase for all month of the year. Despite uncertainty of emission scenarios, under all emission scenarios, annual average of rainfall and stream flow will raise; however, seasonal cycle of rainfall and river flow will change, too. Average river flow in the autumn and winter will increase, while the average river flow in spring and summer will decrease. Decreasing of the river flow in the second half of the water year, Implies the importance of considering of the climate change impacts on the river-flow for designing of dam’s reservoir.

        Various parameters, such as rainfall, region height, evaporation rate, temperature, climate factors, drainage, topography and geology of the basin effect runoff in watersheds. Due to the interrelation of some of the mentioned parameters, their quality and effect on runoff may be different for each region. This paper presents a statistic assessment of the parameters that are effective on runoff and spatial zoning of surface water resources in central Zagross, west of Iran. The results showed a relationship between logarithmic distribution of surface runoff, and temperature and height variables with a 0.795 - 0.851 R2 coefficient of determination, applying statistical analysis and multi-variable regression method for the parameters. Considering 80 selected stations of the studying area with a correlation of 0.923, the runoff distribution in the form of discharge logarithm related to rain logarithm and height variable with confidence level of 95% showed meaningful and acceptable relation .The zoning plan was prepared through ArcGIS software on the basis of weighting effect index of each variable. The analysis of factors which affect runoff formation, and also analysis of the effect of the mentioned variables on preparing zoning plan showed tremendous movement of potentially appropriate water resources regions from south towards north and east of the studying area. Furthermore, there was approximate correspondence between hydrological parameters and determination of suitable water resources location, and statistic multi-variable regression analysis, logistic and weighting index determination of variables methods.

        Background and Aim: Gully erosion is one of the types of water and intensified erosion, which causes a significant change in the landscape and environment. Although engineering methods are important for erosion control, biological methods are very efficient and low-cost methods for soil erosion. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to the characteristics of plant organs for erosion ability, which has yet to be studied. Thus, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of native plants to slow gully erosion in the semi-arid Konar Takhteh region in Fars province. Method: Based on four criteria of resistance to concentrated erosive flow, the ability to stabilize the walls, the bending threshold due to water flow, and the ability to trap suspended load, and by using five quantitative indices, the power of plants to control gully erosion is evaluated. The comparison and scoring of plants are done based on the above criteria and based on multi-criteria analysis. After measuring the indices of stem density (SD), sediment obstruction  potential (SOP), plant stiffness (MEI), relative soil detachment rate (RSD) and root cohesion (Cr), each index is divided into five grades according to the scale (zero is the lowest and four are the highest). In the following, the score of each index is shown in a radar chart. Finally, in order to evaluate better, different species to control the gully erosion, the occupied surface of radar chart is examined. Results: The measurement results of SD, SOP, MEI, RSD and Cr indices for Ziziphus spina-christi species equal to 0.0027, 0.097, 108, 0.398 and 8.34 kPa, respectively, which demonstrates the best performance in comparison with other species. Overall, with a total of 18 points, it is the most suitable specie to control ditch erosion. Atriplex canescens with 13 points is in the second place and the other species are in the next places with lower performance. Conclusion: Species such as Ziziphus spina-christi and Atriplex canescens may be beneficial in the revitalization and development of vegetation in the region due to their adaptation to the climate, dry conditions of the region, their resistance to concentrated currents as well as the stabilization of the gullies’ wall. The use of a combination of plant species is helpful in controlling erosion due to their different capabilities. Therefore, it is recommended to use perennial and herbaceous resistant indigenous species for biological combat against intensifying erosions, especially gully erosion in semi-arid areas. It is suggested to use the findings of this research in other semi-arid regions of the country. Manuscript profile

        The main objective of this study is to assess the performance of Earth2Observe's GHMs and LSMs reanalysis models in estimating runoff at the outlet of Sefidrood river basin (SRB). In addition, for better evaluating the efficiency of Earth2Observe uncalibrated models, the VIC-3L land surface model is implemented over the SRB and calibrated using observed discharges. Results showed that, based on CC and NS statistics, the performance of SURFEX-TRIP model in both daily and monthly time scales is the best one and it led to the same results as well as VIC-3L calibrated model. The values of CC and NS statistics, at daily time scale, in the case of SURFEX-TRIP model are 0.75 and 0.55, respectively, while at the monthly time scale these values are 0.86 and 0.73, respectively. As an overall, findings indicate that LSMs performs better than GHMs in simulating runoff and this may be due to the ability of LSMs in considering both water and energy budgets and they can exchange energy and mass between land surface and atmosphere. Therefore it is highly recommended to use the results of reanalysis models as an appropriate guidance, particularly in the case of ungauged catchments. Manuscript profile

        The present research was conducted to evaluate the health of the KoozehTopraghi Watershed in Ardabil Province using 27 criteria analysis related to different hydrological, anthropogenic and climatic aspects. For this purpose, base regional data including hydrology, erosion and sediment, economic, social and climatic data were collected and analyzed from previous reports. Then, according to the nature of the data used, several appropriate databases were prepared in Fragstats 4.2.1, Excel 2016, IBM SPSS Statistics 25 and ArcGIS 10.6 softwares. Then, using the principles governing the conceptual model of pressure-state-response (PSR), the status and spatial variations of the watershed health were evaluated at 36 sub-watersheds level. Different degrees of watershed health were classified into five categories: healthy, relatively healthy, moderately healthy, relatively unhealthy and unhealthy. Based on the results analysis, it was found that this watershed is in average health condition. Also, the values of pressure, state and response indicators were 0.46, 0.55 and 0.31, respectively. The mean score of comprehensive watershed health assessment index is 0.41. The maximum value of comprehensive watershed health index was 0.66 for sub-watersheds 8 and 12 and the minimum value for this index was 0.14 for sub-watershed 26. The eastern and southeastern part of the watershed is relatively healthy and moderately healthy and the watershed health status was better in the western and northern parts. The results of the present study are applicable to identifying and restoration priority areas and guiding management strategies in terms of water and soil resources at national and regional levels.

        Assessment of land use capabilities based on regional conditions is essential to reduce human impacts on natural resources and to identify suitable land uses. However, the selection of appropriate method for evaluating the potential of the land at the watershed scale has received less attention. Therefore, the present study aimed to apply and validate three methods of FAO, USDA and the Forests, Range and Watershed Management Organization (FRWMO) in assessing the land capability of the Oshnavieh Galazchai Watershed in West Azerbaijan, Iran. Towards this, different criteria were assessed for designation of land capability for the Galazchai Watershed based on the available standards. Corresponding available data were consequently obtained using 122 soil samples taken throughout the watershed as well as topographic and meteorological information. According to the results of the study, the highest and the lowest absolute changes were regarded to the FRWMO and FAO methods with an area of 6682 and 5656 ha, respectively. On the other hand, the maximum disagreement was found between the current land use with the FRWMO method with Kappa of 0.64, which is due to allocation of land with steep slope to agriculture and orchard. Hence, it is recommended to allocate land to different uses according to the land potential of the region and also considering the economic and social conditions of watershed stakeholders after applying land use changes to maximize the satisfaction of all stakeholders and lead to sustainability of the study watershed.

        This study aims at evaluating and modifying the Texas method for allocating environmental flow. This hydrologic method, while using the minimum amount of data, is a rival for the Tenant method and has the capability of introducing an amount of discharge to maintain the ecological regime of rivers. In this paper, after distinguishing the worthiness of the Texas method and observing some differences between the results of the method and the historical regime in the case study, the method was modified in such a way that while preserving the basic principal of the original method, could propose a flow regime which was laid between the observed long-term minimum and mean monthly discharges. The new method is called the Modified Texas method. For evaluating the Texas and Modified Texas methods concerning the allocated annual volume, the equivalent scenario from the Tennant method was employed. The allocated volumes by the Modified Texas, Texas, and Tenant methods were 50%, 47%, and 40-60%, respectively. This paper, concerning the achieved results for the case study, shows that employing the Texas and Modified Texas methods instead of the Tenant method and enhancing the method to the level of a native method provides reasonable results comparable with those of the habitat simulation or holistic methods.

        Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration is one of the most important issues in water balance calculation at the catchment and field scale. The lack of meteorological observations for using empirical methods and the high costs of measuring evapotranspiration using lysimeter restricts the usability of these methods in most cases. To tackle these problems, this research addressed the performance of reanalysis models including W3RA, HBV-SIMREG, PCR-GLOBW, WATER-GAP, and Ensemble for estimation of evapotranspiration at different climate regions of Iran. Besides, the reference evapotranspiration for assessment of the above models obtained using lysimeter measurements. Findings showed that in most cases studies the Ensemble model’s performance with the RMSE value ranges from 3.42 to 7.57 mm/day is the weakest one, while the results of HBV-SIMREG and W3RA show the best agreements with lysimeter dataset. Analyzing the outputs based on mean bias error (MBE) depicted that the estimated evapotranspiration based on W3RA and Ensemble have the minimum and maximum bias, respectively. As an overall conclusion, although results indicate that PCR-GLOBW has the maximum correlation coefficient (CC) with the reference datasets, HBV-SIMREG is the best and reliable model for estimation of evapotranspiration in most climate regions of Iran and can be considered as an alternative dataset, especially in data-limited areas.

        Apart from the understanding of the impact of land use and climate changes on the water cycle and hydrology regime, hydrological models are effective tools for designing and managing water resources. Currently, many hydrological models have been developed to simulate the basin, though choosing the right model is a challenge. To this end, a correct understanding of the model, its advantages, and limitations is necessary. In this regard, several studies have been conducted to evaluate the hydrological models performance in different regions and conditions. In the present study, the performance of two integrated hydrological and conceptual rainfall-runoff models of AWBM and MIKE NAM in the simulation of the average daily runoff in Gonbad Hamedan basin was investigated. Although both models are lumped models for rainfall-runoff process, the MIKE NAM model has a more complex structure compared to the AWBM. In addition to considering the initial conditions, MIKE NAM model is also capable of simulating snowmelt. The results of the runoff simulation during the calibration and validation periods were evaluated using two statistical indicators of the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) and percent bias (PBIAS). The NSE and PBIAS during the calibration and validation periods for the MIKE NAM model were 0.8, 6.3 and 0.71, -4.2; and 0.6, 14.33 and 0.55, -9.2 for AWBM model, respectively. The results showed that MIKE NAM model has a better performance in simulating daily runoff in Gonbad Moarref basin compared to the AWBM model. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: The process of climate change, especially the change in temperature and precipitation, and its effect on the drought phenomenon constitute the most important topic of discussion in environmental sciences. Studying climate change and its effect on the severity and frequency of droughts in the coming decades can considerably contribute to the planning for the proper use of water resources and adapting to the destructive effects of droughts. To this end, based on the SDSM microscale method, precipitation and temperature during the 2020-2100 period were predicted in the present study using the large-scale CanESM2 model, and the effects of climate change on the meteorological drought in Ilam Province were studied using the SPI and RDI indices.Method: In this study, the required climatic data are obtained through one of the data reporting sites of the IPCC AR5. Twenty one CMIP5 models have been used to predict Precipitation and temperature parameters in the future. The weighting method of observational means was used to investigate the uncertainty caused by using the studied models. Then, using the SDSM model, meteorological data are generated under three scenarios: RCP 2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 of the CanESM2 model. Model historical data from 1993 to 2005 will be used to analyze the SDSM model using NCEP re-analysis data, and data from 2006 to 2100 will be used to estimate future climate change. The SPI and RDI time series were calculated in three scales of 3, 6 and 12 months for the historical and future period. The intensity, duration and frequency of the drought, according to the run theory for the spi and RDI on scale 3, 6 and 12 months.Results: According to the results of the uncertainty analysis, the CanESM2 model had the highest weight compared to other models for both temperature and precipitation variables. Analysis of trend in precipitation and temperature data by non - parametric mann - kendall test showed that temperature in scenario rcp8.5 has a significant positive trend ( increasing ) at 0.01 and precipitation has decreasing trend. The results of drought monitoring showed that in both SPI and RDI indices, the frequency of dry period’s decreases with increasing time scale, which is accompanied by an increase in the severity and duration of drought. The RDI index shows higher drought characteristics than SPI due to considering the average temperature in calculating dry periods. The greatest drought in the historical period according to the SPI index on a 12-month scale has an intensity of 38.22 and a duration of 26 months. RDI index on a 12-month scale has an intensity of 39.14 and a duration of 26 months.The study area will experience more severe and longer droughts in the future according to all three scenarios than in the historical period. The severity of droughts produced by RCP4.5 RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios based on 12-month SPI is 11%, 52% and 65%.Conclusion: The results of the analysis with the SDSM model and the SPI and RDI drought indices indicated that in the future climatic conditions in the 2020-2100 period, an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation are probable. To wit, temperature rises by 3.798 C and precipitation decreases by 6.8%. The results also revealed that the study area will experience more severe and longer droughts in the future than in the historical period under all three RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. As the time scale of the drought index increases, the severity and duration of the drought increases. The RDI index has a high behavioral similarity to the SPI, but the RDI index is sensitive to environmental changes and provides better results. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Investigating future flow changes is a very important factor in policy-making and determining the strategy of a catchment. Two very important parameters affecting the flow are climate change and land use change. How these two parameters affect the water flow is due to the effect that each of them has on the hydrological cycle. The present study investigates and evaluates the effects of climate change and land use change on surface flow in one of the catchments in southwestern Iran, Karkheh. This catchment is known as one of the most important and strategic catchments for food security and electricity generation in Iran. This catchment is one of the most critical and strategic catchments for providing food security and electricity generation in Iran.Method: The present study uses the soil and water assessment model (SWAT) to investigate the impact of climate change and land use on the Karkheh catchment. A total of 15 scenarios have been studied. These scenarios, firstly investigate the changes on each climate and land uses separately, and then the simultaneous impact of these two parameters in the mid-term on the surface flow is analyzed. Climate change has been studied using RCP scenarios and general atmospheric circulation (GCM) models for two different GCMs, CMCC-CESM and MRI-CGCM3 in the 4.5 and 8.5 series over the mid-term (2040 to 2060). The changes applied to land use in two different cases are based on Iran's future policies. Changes in these policies have been made using the Sixth Development Plan, the 550,000-hectare Plan, the Land Management Plan from an agricultural perspective, and the population growth rate in the region according to the scenarios considered in the plan of the Statistics Research Institute of Iran.Results: To calibrate the model, 9 parameters and two objective functions NSE and R2 were used in 6 hydrometric stations. Based on the findings of this study, the highest sensitivity of the model is to the CN2 parameter. In model calibration and validation, all stations have values above 0.5 for the intended objective functions. Changes in precipitation and temperature are other findings of this study. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of precipitation data, a decrease in precipitation is visible in all months, and the highest drop is related to the autumn season, with a decline of 7.83 to 8.23%, and the lowest reduction is dedicated to 8.5 scenario.Conclusion: The results of climate change illustrate that in the mid-term, the most changes will be achieved in the RCP8.5 scenario which include a 14.3 to 22.8% reduction in runoff. The results obtained from land use changes based on future policies in Iran show a maximum decrease of 7% in the average monthly runoff. If the changes in climate and land use are studied simultaneously based on the average flow rate, it can be concluded that in the RCP8.5 scenario, the most change will occur. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: The analysis of hydrological events is one of the important components of the management of water resources and consumption. The amount of water consumption directly depends on the climatic phenomena in a region. Rainfall is one of the important indicators of climate change, which has been considered by researchers in the probabilistic analysis of hydrological phenomena. This research has been conducted with the aim of evaluating trend analysis and estimation of rainfall return period in water resources management of Lorestan province using modified Mann-Kendall method and bivariate probabilistic modeling.Method: The study area is Lorestan province located in the western part of Iran. Based on the conceptual framework of the study, time series of rainfall data were collected for the statistical period of 35 years from 1365 to 1400. In order to analyze the trend of precipitation in the province, the modified Mann-Kendall non-parametric test was used. Furthermore, Archimedean joint functions were used to determine the return period of two variables, duration and height of precipitation.Results: The results showed that in most parts of Lorestan province, the height of rainfall in the 10-year return period was less than 50 mm per day. This amount of rainfall will provide between 100 and 200 million cubic meters of agricultural water for eight cities. Noorabad and Aleshtar respectively have the highest and lowest predicted amounts of water in the next 10 years. Moreover, the comparison of precipitation trends showed that there was no significant decreasing or increasing trend at the 5% confidence level.Conclusion: The results showed that although a significant decreasing or increasing trend was not detected using the Man-Kendall method in the cities of Lorestan province, the return period of rainfall indicates a decrease in available water resources for agriculture. Planning based on bivariate distribution functions showed that the duration of rainfall can play a decisive role in calculating the return period. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Heavy and consecutive rains at early April of 2018 led to severe floods in large parts of Iran, especially in the Karkheh basin, which was accompanied by huge damages. The average rainfall in the Karkhe dam basin for the event of April 4-7, 2018 was More
        Background and Aim: Heavy and consecutive rains at early April of 2018 led to severe floods in large parts of Iran, especially in the Karkheh basin, which was accompanied by huge damages. The average rainfall in the Karkhe dam basin for the event of April 4-7, 2018 was about 87 mm, and for the event of April 11-17, 2018, it was nearly 108 mm. For the flood management by the reservoir, estimation of the peak discharge and flood hydrograph is essential in order to predict the hydrological behavior of the basin. Rainfall-runoff models that are used to simulate flood hydrographs are one of the methods of estimating runoff and a suitable tool for investigating and evaluating hydrological processes, water resources, and flood management.Method: Since the estimation of peak discharge and flood hydrograph has great important to predict the hydrological behavior of the basin and also to take the necessary measures to reduce the flood risk, the present study was conducted by using HEC-HMS model to simulate the rainfall-runoff events during 2007-2018 in the Karkheh Basin .By using this model capabilities and the data from some hydrometric and meteorological stations in the basin, the volume and peak discharge of floods in that period were estimated. Because Seymareh dam impoundment has started since 2013; two separate basin models were developed and for running the model, 11 flood events were obtained then, the basin parameters were calibrated based on six events and the others were used for validation. In the process of developing the basin model, the SCS Curve Number method is used to calculate basin runoff losses and convert rainfall to runoff, the Clark Unit Hydrograph method and the Return flow method to calculate the base flow, the Muskingum method for hydrological routing, and the Weighted average method for spatial data analysis of rainfall. The Outlet Structure method was used for routing the reservoirs of Karkheh and Seymareh dams.Results: Comparing the initial simulation results of the model with the observed values at the outlet of the basin and some hydrometric stations of the basin showed that the hydrograph model overestimates the flow. Therefore, using the residual squaredsum objective function, basin parameters (CN, time concentration, storage coefficient, initial absorption, and recession constant) were calibrated. After calibration of parameters, the results showed that the calculated hydrographs were in good agreement with the Observational hydrographs in the Karkheh and Seymareh dams. Next, to check the accuracy and confirm the results, the model was validated by the five new rainfall events and to evaluate the efficiency of the model used in this stage, the Nash-Sutcliffe indices and the simulated variance coefficient were used.Conclusion: Comparing the calculated results with the flood observational values (peak discharge) using the correlation coefficient (R2) showed that there is a relatively good agreement between simulation and observation in sub-basins 5, 2, 7, and 1 (0.92, 0.73, 0.73 and 0.70, respectively). Also, the model efficiency index values in the validation period for the Nash-Sutcliffe index (0.33-0.99) and simulation variance coefficient (0-0.73) for the outlet of sub-basins 9, 6, 5, 1, and 8 are favorable and the HEC-HMS model approximately can provide an acceptable estimation of the flood hydrograph. So, it can be well-analyzed how the way flood events are formed in the Karkheh basin. Also, the sensitivity analysis of the model parameters showed that the curve number parameter (CN) has a greater effect on the changes in the objective function than other basin parameters.

        Background and Purpose: The use of hydrological models in watersheds has always been of interest to water resources researchers. Hydrological simulation models are valuable tools for investigating challenging issues related to watershed management, such as the effect of climate change on water resources and the effect of urbanization on floods and droughts. Spatial distribution hydrological model WetSpa is used to simulate river flow at basin scale. The model uses the observed topography, land use, soil map, and daily meteorological time series (rainfall, evaporation and temperature) to predict hydrographs and distributional-spatial hydrological parameters of the basin. In this article, the object-oriented, modular and process-oriented model of WetSpa, which is prepared based on the flexible modeling approach, is applied to simulate the daily hydrograph in Khorramabad basin.Method: The inputs of the model include digital elevation maps, soil type, land use, and time series of precipitation, temperature, and potential evaporation and transpiration, which are from the statistics of 6 meteorological stations in a ten-year period (water year 84-85 until 93-94) is used. After preparing the inputs of the model, at first the maps of the distribution parameters are automatically generated in the map format by the GIS pre-processing component of the model. After that, the model is calibrated using a 5-year statistical period (water year 84-85 to 89-88) of precipitation, temperature, and potential evaporation and transpiration data. The model uses Thiessen polygons to apply precipitation, temperature, and evaporation data. For this purpose, the daily discharges of Jam Anjir hydrometric station located at the outlet of the studied watershed are used. Model calibration is done manually by determining the values of 11 global (general) parameters of the model, so that the best match between simulation and observational hydrograph is obtained. And finally, the validation of the model is carried out based on a 5-year statistical period (water year 89-88 to 94-93) and the values of the global parameters obtained in the calibration stage.Findings: The maps of distributed parameters are produced, which after preparing the inputs of Mashdand's production model showed that the average potential runoff coefficient of the area is 63% and the concentration time of the area is 17 hours. In the following, according to the 11 global parameters, which symbol and range of changes are specified in table (3), the model global (general) parameters values  are obtained in the calibration stage. Comparing the simulated hydrograph by the model and the observed hydrograph in the calibration stage shows that the best match between the observed and simulated data is established with a correlation coefficient of 0.39. Validation of the model is also based on a 5-year statistical period (water year 89-88 to 94-93) and the values of global parameters. The output files of the model illustrate that 26.15% of the precipitation becomes runoff during the calibration period. During the validation period, the share of total runoff from precipitation is 26.42%. Moreover, the simulation results of the model demonstrate the ratio of evaporation to precipitation in the calibration and validation periods is 57.18 and 69.20%, respectively. Additionally, the results of the evaluation of the model based on the Kling-Gupta index (KGE) present the value of 0.68 for the calibration period and 0.74 for the validation period.Results: In this article, the effectiveness of WetSpa model is investigated in order to simulate the daily flow of Khorram Abad River at Cham Anjir hydrometric station. According to the results obtained from this research, it can be said that the Wetspa spatial distribution model has the ability to simulate the hydrological behavior of the basin with acceptable accuracy. The graphical comparison of the calculated and observed hydrographs for the calibration and evaluation period also shows a relatively good match between the two hydrographs. Examining the results of calculating of the water balance components by the model demonstrates that the outflow in the calibration and validation period accounted for 26.15 and 26.42% of the total precipitation respectively, seems logical considering the major land use of mountains and pastures in the irrigation basin.

        Background and objectives: One of the most important factors of soilless cultivation systems is the cultivation bed. Plants need adequate water and elements to grow and function well. But today, a mixture of cocopeat and perlite is used in some greenhouses, which gives better results and is suitable for the production of tomatoes outside the season. Currently, cocopeat is the main substrate used in most hydroponic systems for tomato production in the country, which is an expensive imported material. It is important to carry out new researches to investigate the effect of stress and the integration of cultivation media to produce as many black cherry tomatoes as possible. The effect of the type of cultivation medium on different plants is different. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of drought stress and the integration of organic and inorganic cultivation medium on the chemical characteristics of several raw materials that can be used as black tomato growing medium. Materials and methods: For this purpose, in order to investigate the possibility of reducing the effects of drought stress by combining cocopeat and perlite, a factorial research was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design with three replications in the research greenhouse of Islamic Azad University, Karaj branch. In this research, two factors of drought stress (Fc100%, Fc50%, Fc25%, Fc12.5%) and different percentages of the cultivation bed (Cocopeat 0% + Perlite 100%, Cocopeat 25% + Perlite 75%, Cocopeat 50% + Perlite 50%, Cocopeat 75% + Perlite 25%, Cocopeat 100% + Perlite 0%) were investigated. The studied traits included the number of fruits, fresh and dry weight of the shoot, root length, relative moisture content of the leaves, the amount of chlorophyll a and b, and total. Results: Based on the results of the treatment combinations, cocopeat 75-perlite 25 and cocopeat 100- zero perlite had the highest performance, especially under severe stress of dehydration, and the lowest efficiency in the treatment combinations Co0Pe100+FC12.5%, Co25Pe75+FC12.5%, and Co50Pe50+FC12. 5% and Co100Pe0+FC12.5% were obtained. Also, FC100% treatment with the highest amount of total chlorophyll (3.10 mg per gram of fresh tissue) in the statistically superior group and FC12.5% treatment with the lowest amount of total chlorophyll (2.22 mg per gram of fresh tissue) were included in the weakest statistical group. In other words, maintaining soil moisture at the level of agricultural capacity increased the amount of total chlorophyll by 39.63% compared to the decrease in moisture at the level of 12.5% of agricultural capacity. Conclusion: Based on the results, the substrates containing richer foods provided better results. By adding cocopeat to the substrate, the negative effects of drought stress can be controlled. The reason for this superiority is the amount of nutrients in this substrate due to its ability to store more nutrients and water. The use of perlite in hydroponic culture beds is useful because it has large and small pores that improve the culture bed's ventilation. One of the negative effects of drought stress is the reduction of chlorophyll. As a result, the photosynthesis system of the plant will be damaged, and with the increase in the amount of proline, chlorophyll will decrease because the amounts of chlorophyll and proline have an inverse relationship with each other. Lack of water will cause a decrease in growth, leaf surface, wet and dry weight, destruction of cell membranes, destruction and reduction of proteins and enzymes, accumulation of amino acids, reduction of growth enhancers, damage to pigments and plastids, and reduction of root growth.

        Jonathan Zittell Smith is one of the most important critics of Mircea Eliade's approach to comparative religious studies, who has written works in fields such as "comparative methodology", "Classification of Religions" and religion in the contemporary world. One-sided focus on similarity and homogenization and the discovery of similar patterns in the comparative studies of religions was the dominant method in religious studies, which was expressed by Eliade. In fact, the most important criticism of Eliade's approach is absence of serious attention to historical details, cultural and social contexts, and economic and political elements. Zittell Smith accused Eliade's comparative method to "Colonizing" the subject of research and believed that comparison does not only indicate to common and similar factors. He sought to present a comparative model that includes both differences and similarities. He reviews the main methods of comparison including (ethnological, encyclopedic, morphological, evolutionary and comprehensive comparison of religious patterns) and finally chooses the "morphological-structural" approach with emphasis on historical and anthropological components. He considers it a more correct comparative method than other methods. Manuscript profile

        There is no accurate description of a kind of "biological classification"in the Holy Qur’ān and the Old Testament. Moreover, in contrast to thebiological texts, Qur’ān and the Old Testament do not aim at scientificcategorization of creatures, and therefore it seems that their verses arethe reflection of their addressees’ knowledge of the nature. Both thesebooks have similar attitudes toward creatures– particularly plants– andperhaps these similarities are rooted in their same revelatory origin orthe similar cultural background of their prophets and their addressees.However, the Qur’ān’s description of creatures is more elaborate thanthat of the Old Testament.Therefore, only through logical deductions from the verses of HolyQur’ān, the Old Testament and their interpretations one can talk aboutthe "biological classification" according to these two scriptures. Thisessay tries to give an account of such classification and to comparetheir similarities and discrepancies. This leads us to this conclusion:The cosmology of the holy scriptures basically differ from theviewpoints of the Greek philosophers. Manuscript profile

         Introduction: Nowadays, use of non-additive food products has become a fundamental issue and a general demand for consumers. On the other hand, the rheological properties and viscosity of beverage products are one of the important factors that impacts acceptability of these products. Hence, it is essential to find a way to solve this problem and improve the quality properties of juices.Materials and Methods: In this study, the effect of homogenization with 5,000 and 10,000 rpm at 5 and 10 minutes was studied on the physico-chemical and rheological properties of peach nectar.Results: Homogenization significantly increased the apparent viscosity of the samples by 5% level, therefor from 10.6 mPa in the control sample, it was 16.67 mPa in the homogenized sample at 10,000 rpm and 5 min. On the other hand, homogenization improved color characteristics and peach nectar sedimentation as compared to the control sample. In addition, homogenization increased pH, brix, formalin index, and turbidity significantly. However, acidity of the samples increased insignificantly. Besides that, the particle size decreased significantly by the homogenization procedure.Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it might be concluded that the application of homogenization improves the viscosity and stability of treatments and therefore the homogenization process can be used as a substitute for viscous additives.

        Background and Objective: Landfills cause environmental degradation and pollution by producing greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide and producing leachate as well as contaminating surface and ground water. Recently, the ecological design approach as a framework for reducing environmental degradation by adapting municipal solid waste management to environmental processes is expanding widely. Ecological design strives to maximize comfort by minimizing damage to the environment and natural processes while enhancing people's quality of life. Ecological design strives to adapt to nature through the use of natural materials as well as environmental considerations.Method: In the present study, according to the definition of sustainable design and understanding its applications, in order to achieve the best, most complete and practical design for the site in question, existing maps of the area, including aerial maps, topography , GIS, vegetation, upstream maps, site development plans, survey of active sites in Landfill, survey of contaminant types, study of COD and BOD indices of the site have been studied, as well as review and identification of existing status           (Environmental, Physical, Climatic, Landscape, Land Use, Transportation, Biological) through observation, photography and interviewing strategic design of this area is provided with ecological-based approach by site staff and residents of neighboring neighborhoods in accordance with the principles and principles governing the design of industrial environments.Findings: The existing plan prevents contamination of groundwater levels and prevents contaminated surrounding urban areas and agricultural lands. Restoration of damaged parts of the landfill, reduction of the risk of contamination by animals and noise pollution and unpleasant odors and its release into the atmosphere. The landfill is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the country through biogas production from landfill gas collection and reduction of fossil fuel use. By collecting and using Landfill gases as fuel and power generation, the rate of emissions to the atmosphere is reduced. Maximum use of biogas is due to the greater use of digesters.Discussion & Conclusion: Design criteria are mainly based on existing constraints and needs and make the designer's policy clearer and significantly help in locating applications. Applying these criteria will help to enhance opportunities and take advantage of existing opportunities and make the project less threatening. After developing the strategies, designing from different perspectives is done to finally select the best plan for implementation by reviewing the concepts and comparing them with each other and in accordance with international standards. At the end of the study, the three concepts are finally selected and after examining these three concepts together, the winning concept is selected for the execution phase. Landfill is an inevitable step in waste management. In today's growing population, landfill has become an integral part of communities, but landfills should not be used as a last resort, but rather as a mean to create new uses for it. Converting landfills to recreational uses while also providing a pleasant place to meet the recreational and sporting needs of the area's inhabitants. Human landfill contaminates the area and destroys many animals and causes major disturbance in nature. Brings to enhance the quality of the landfills and with as the landfill site becomes more prone to disruption, it is necessary to look at the area as a demolished mosaic and take steps to repair it.

        Background and Objective: Desertification is a global issue with serious implications worldwide on biodiversity, eco-safety, poverty eradication, socio-economic stability, and sustainable development. The most efficient methods for assessing desertification intensity are experimental methods. The aim of this study was to assess desertification hazard in Sabzevar using the GIS and IMDPA model. Method: The IMDPA model was applied to evaluate the desertification intensity in Sabzevar. For this purpose, first the land unit map (geomorphologic facies) was created using slope, geology, vegetation cover, land use, Landsat 5 and Google Earth satellite images in 4 units, and 10 types and 96 facies were identified. Then, in each work unit, all the criteria were valued based on the selected indices which resulted in the qualitative mapping of each criterion based on the geometric mean of the indices. The mapping of each group was done based on the geometric mean of the studied criterion. Then, the desertification intensity map of the region was obtained using a geometric average of all groups. Findings: The results showed that water, irrigation, and erosion have the most severe impact on desertification with weighted means of 2.94 and 2.72, respectively. Sabzevar was divided into two classes of moderate (II) and intensive (IV) classes, with the largest area covered by the moderate class (85.07 %) Discussion and Conclusion: Sabzevar has a diverse variety of geomorphologic terrains from high mountains to Playa, and dividing it into two classes indicates the simplicity of the IMPDA in preparing desertification. The reason for this peculiarity is the diverse features, geometric mean and unbalanced classification. The mentioned hazard map along with key factors in desertification can be used by the related managers for combating desertification and moving towards sustainable development in Sabzevar.

        Introduction: Biological nitrification, in the system that has a proper substrate to replace bacteria is more efficient than other systems. The major problem substrates, such as substrates that are made of synthetic polymers are their high cost of production and environmental problems. The aim of this study using wheat stalks as a substrate cost as well as review performance on the survival of fish. Material and Methods: To do this, the study added 10% and 5% of the word water storage tank size (240 liters size) of wheat stalks (starch). Control over two groups, one control (no wheat stem) control group (three treatments with three replications). You can calculate this student 10, best, most, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after adding ammonia. A weight of 0.28 g is added to each tank in the test volunteer. Treatments at this stage observe pre-budget law, leading to limited reservoirs of wheat stalks containing mosques. Mortality rates were counted 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after the addition of ammonia. There was no food. One-way ANOVA was used to compare data between treatments and each one by time. The means were compared by SPSS software using LSD test at 0.05 level of confidence. Results and Discussion: The results showed that the ammonia treatment is significantly different than the control group (p > 0/05). The amount of ammonia in treated compared with each other, there was a significant difference              (p > 0/05). Greatest amount of ammonia reduced to 10% of the wheat stalk; Lowest fish mortality rates in the second stage of the treatment, 10% of wheat stem (2 number), as well as the control group (without wheat) had the highest mortality of fish (15 number). Results of our study showed that nitrification cycle in the reservoirs that 10% of the volume is dedicated to wheat straw up to 32 times more efficient than the other tanks (tanks without wheat). Well as present study showed that the use the wheat stalks can have a significant role in the increasing the chance of survival of fish, in the face of hyper-acute ammonia. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Water resource development plans have several environmental impacts, the most important of which are natural river flow change and downstream surface reduction of flow. Estimation of the environmental flow required for the health of rivers and downstream ecosystems are of particular important. A sustainable strategy is a revision of the allocation of water for various uses and an increase in the share of the environmental flow from the current 10% to (20-40%) annual yields of rivers. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the monthly distribution of the environmental flow of an indicating river with a permanent flow (Alandachay river) using existing hydro-ecological methods.Method: In this paper, seven hydro-ecological methods were used: (1- Tennant; 2- Tessman; FDC 4- Smakhtin 5- FDC shifting 6-DRM; 7- Water-quality method called Q-relation). The results of environmental estimation of Alandachay River were calculated using different methods.Findings: According to this paper, the environmental law of the Alandachay river in the FDC shifting method and with acceptance of the river conditions at the minimum ecological status acceptable (environmental management class C), at hydrometry station, average annual flow rate was estimated to be 1.56 cubic meters per second, which considering the amount of environmental water, the highest calculated amount of all seven methods and was calculated 0.39 by using Tennant method. The other remaining methods were between these methods.Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this paper show the accuracy of the FDC shifting method with the environmental class C at the studied station at 1.56 cubic meters per second as the bio-management class. These results show that quick methods of calculating the environmental flow used in Iran are mainly applied without considering the environmental conditions. This greatly reduces the accuracy of the results and even yields the opposite results. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives: Evapotranspiration are the main component of hydrologic cycle and estimation of the amount of evapotranspiration is important to study the water balance, design the irrigation systems and ultimately plan and manage the water resources to achieve the stable development.  Evapotranspiration are nonlinear and complicated phenomenon due to requirement for different factors and their interactions. One important step in non-linear system modeling is pre- investigation of inputs to achieve suitable combination of them. Pre-investigation of input data prevents several trial and error steps and helps to understand the most important parameters which affect the phenomenon to be able to modeling the system in an intelligent way. Thereby, this study, has aimed to implement the ability of Fuzzy logic system to estimate Evapotranspiration by using the data from Gonabad weather station in a 21-year period (1993-2014). Material and Methods: To reach this aim, after investigation of available models and different combination of weather information, the final model to estimate Evapotranspiration has been designed. In this model with 20 surface as input and one surface as output or evaporation and transpiration, 50 rules were determined in Mamdani Inference System and the estimated value of Evapotranspiration from the Fuzzy Inference were compared with the results from Fao Penman Monteith (F-P-M). Results and Discussion: Statistical parameters including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Main Bias Error (MBE) Coefficient of Determination, Jacovides factor (t) and Sabbagh et al. factor (R2/t) have been used to investigate the efficiency of this model. Comparison of the results from the Fuzzy Model and the results from F-P-M shows a high level of correlation between these two methods indicating the highest level of Evapotranspiration in July (RMSE: 0.08, R2: 0.98, MBE: 0.05, t:0.25 and R2/t: 3.92).

        Background and Objective: Today, the implementation of industrial development programs without considering environmental considerations, has led to the continued entry of pollutants into the environment. Currently, industrial pollution is considered the main cause of environmental degradation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the ecological risk of toxic metals lead, zinc, and cadmium in the Lakan lead and zinc processing company.Method: After organizing and standardizing the data using GIS, ecological risk assessment and also the environmental risk index of toxic metals in the study area were estimated.Findings: The results of the ecological risk assessment showed that among the studied toxic metals, cadmium metal has the lowest risk (0.01% of the area in the high-risk class) and zinc has the highest risk (0.02% of the area in the high-risk class). Also, the results of the environmental risk index assessed 99% of the region in terms of cadmium metal risk in the low-risk category and 92% of the region in terms of zinc risk in the critical class, and lead metal was in the intermediate status.Discussion and Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be stated that following industrialization, the spread of industrial pollution is inevitable, but methods and measures have been used to mitigate and reduce their consequences. One of the important methods in reducing the effects of environmental pollution is ecological risk assessment. Therefore, considering the capabilities of GIS systems in the preparation of environmental assessment maps, it seems that this system can be useful in facilitating the assessment of the ecological vulnerability of metal mining industries.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Greywater (GW) is defined as wastewater from kitchen, bath and laundry excluding streams from toilets. GW can be classified as either low-load GW (excluding kitchen and laundry) or high-load GW (including kitchen and/or laundry). In recent years many studies have been carried out on GW treatment. Method: This review provides information on the GW characteristics, existing guidelines for wastewater reuse and the present state of art in GW treatment as well as their advantages and limitations. Result: This article revealed that GW quality is highly variable and dependent on the source of production. Physical processes have been shown to achieve only a limited treatment of the GW, therefore the use of these methods alone is recommended in the low strength GW. The chemical treatments were reported to provide good removal of the suspended solids, pathogens and surfactants in the low strength grey water but could not efficiently remove the BOD. Biological processes achieved good general treatment of GW, but the nutrient imbalance of GW limits the performance of these systems. Conclusion: However, the combination of aerobic biological process with physical pretreatment and disinfection is recommended in the high strength GW as the most economical solution.

        Background and Objective: Prior to any planning for the development of urban green spaces, standards for green space development should be identified. From the very important principles of urban planning knowledge, it is necessary to address users in terms of standards and per capita and locate them. Air, sound and visual pollution is caused by urbanization that nowaday human societies are facing. Therefore, considering the green space use as an air styler and space organizer, is necessary to achieve the ecological efficiency of cities. The purpose of this study is to identify the criteria location and green spaces planning, that it is the achievement of providing solutions for operating the general principles of green space development, so that it can be generalized to similar cases. Method: The present study is a fundamental-applied research method and a descriptive-analytical study. To collect the data, Libraries and documents Sources was utilized. Data analysis was mainly based on qualitative analysis method and also using ARC / GIS software. Findings: Findings of this study show that none of the per capita in Tabriz city are in accordance with the standards of urban planning and environmental point of view. From the urban planning point of view, in the plan comprehensive, per capita of about 15 m2 is proposed for each person, this per capita in the current situation for Tabriz is equal to 1/69 m2. From the environmental point of view, in the plan comprehensive, is between 15-50 m2 per person while per capita city in the current situation is equal to 11.69 m2. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of the study show that in the city of Tabriz, the criteria and development principles green spaces planning and their location criteria, including per capita in neighborhoods, environmental and ecological criteria, and spatial metrics such as centrality, hierarchy, and access has not been regarded. Therefore, the status of the green spaces use in the present situation of Tabriz city do not match with the proposals of the comprehensive and details plan, and with national and international standards. Moreover, the lack of optimal distribution in the city is quite evident. Therefore, the calculation of the appropriate level of green space and its balanced distribution in the city is the key issue, so that the process of achieving the ecological efficiency of the city is possible.   Manuscript profile

        Background and purpose: Nowadays environmental strategic assessment as a tool for incorporating environmental considerations into the early stages of decision making has attracted the attention of planners. Scholars have attributed characteristics such as attention to the relationship between different layers of decision-making from policy making to implementation, consideration of cultural- political context and organizational structure of development as well as reflection of socio-economic considerations to environmental strategic assessment. Method: Despite these characteristics, the usual process of strategic environmental assessment does not have the ability to comprehensively assess the effects of cultural, social and ecological contexts. Criteria that do not provide clear results to decision makers are also used to measure the sustainability of development types. For this reason, in this study, the process and structure of the strategic environmental assessment based on the theoretical foundations of the resilience approach has been improved. Based on the resiliency approach, uncertainties and disturbances in socio-ecological systems can be analyzed. It is also incorporated into the evaluation process by reference to the multi-scale concept resiliency approach. Findings: In this study a three-step process for strategic environmental assessment is proposed. Each step is based on the basic concepts of the resiliency approach. Discussion and Conclusions: The sum of these characteristics makes environmental assessments possible on the basis of the unpredictable future, the inevitability of change, and the vulnerability of ecological systems.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives: One of the problems of population growth in cities is the continuous and calm changes in the climate of different regions of the world. The reason for this can be seen in the change in the structure of the environment by humans in favor of their resources. Following these changes, the concentration of carbon monoxide, as the main greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, has been fluctuating and increasing, which is the main cause of climate change. This study uses the concept of ecological footprint to investigate the ecological effects of the use of fossil fuels in the city of Ahvaz.Material and Methodology:In this research, the general method developed by Riz and Vekernagel has been used, based on which the calculations related to the ecological footprint have been obtained. This method of calculation includes the steps that have been used in this study to achieve the goal. Also, by using library studies and reviewing the necessary documents, sufficient and appropriate information has been collected to use the general method of micronutrients and carcinogens.Findings: Based on the results (2011-2014), the effects and extent of ecological footprint of fossil fuels in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 for the city of Ahvaz are equal to 6.71, 11.36, 7.17 and 83, respectively. / 8 hectares / person which in comparison with the per capita ecological footprint of the city in the mentioned years is equal to 0.0173, 0.064, 0.015 and 0.031 per year, which due to the difference between this Two levels can be concluded that the city of Ahvaz does not have a logical ecological footprint in the consumption of fossil fuels.Discussion and Conclusion: Preliminary results show that one of the important reasons that has made the ecological footprint of Ahvaz more than the current world standards, is a significant high part of the population to use cars and not to use other energy uses. It is like the sunshine that has the potential in the region. In this study, a summary of the ecological footprint in the consumption of fossil fuels in Ahvaz shows how much land officials in Ahvaz need each year in addition to available resources to carbon from the burning of gasoline and diesel, which is part of the energy used.

        Background and aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the ecological potential of the land in order to increase the level of afforestation.Method: Initially, gradient maps, altitudes above sea level, geographical directions, temperature, rainfall, humidity, soil, canopy percentage with digitizing data received from relevant organizations and agencies. To evaluate ecological capability, fuzzy membership functions were standardized. In the following, the criteria used in the evaluation were prioritized based on multi-criteria evaluation and analytical hierarchy process and using the Expert selection software, the final weight was determined for each criterion.Findings: The criterion of altitude from the sea level has the highest value in the criteria and the criterion of gradient has the lowest value in the criteria. The results of this study showed that ecological power is directly related to ecological factors, especially climatic and physiographic factors. The results of the ecological capability assessment for afforestation operations with AND activated show that 5566 hectares of land are located in a very high class. The results of ecological capability assessment for afforestation with gamma activated show that 3098 hectares from the area are very large in class.Discussion and Conclusion: Finally, considering that about 60% of the area of the study area is covered with forest, according to the results of ecological power assessment for forestry, this study can be effective in recognizing the forestry potential and as a result of forestry development in this region.

        Background and purpose: Land degradation modeling is one of the environmental impact assessment methods that quantitatively represent the effects of human activities. The purpose of applying this model is identifying vulnerability factors and destruction of ecosystems, to prevent further destruction by other project and also to show feasibility of future development to decision markers. Method: first The study area was partitioned into 94 cells, 1600 ha each and then Fourteen degradation factors were identified along with their intensity using land use map, field observations and expert views. So the determination of ecological susceptibility and physiological density was determined and all cells were classified to 4 categories: recommended for development, zones that require reconstruction, protection and cells hadn't development potential based on fuzzy theory. Results: The results show that from 94 cells, 22 cells (23.40% of the total area) require reconstruction, 37 cells (39.36% of total area) have no development potential, and 35 cells (37.22% of total area) are recommended for development.  Discussion and Conclusion: The effects of destructive activities (which are mainly destructive effects of tourism activities) in the region are obvious, so that destructive activities such as land use change and river pollution to the region on the one hand. They are the main causes of destruction of the 94 cell, 21 cell due to faults and 16 cell due to being in the Binalood protected area, have no development potential. 35 cell are recommended for development in first to third priorities, these cells are in low physiological density area and 22 cell due to high physiological density and severity destructive agents has a high degradation coefficient and need to be reconstructed, and therefore any future development in this area, should be excluded.

        Background and Objective: In general, in recent decades, due to urban lives on the sidelines of rivers, dwellers of these areas have been the subject of damages caused by flood. The goal of this research is determining the vulnerability level of urban areas against flood in order to reducing human and financial losses. Method: For this purpose, Chung fuzzy analysis hierarchical process method (fuzzy AHP) is used due to the higher degree of possibility for weighting criteria of gradient, soil, distance from river, geology, height, land usage, and population. After weighting, the criteria of vulnerability in the environment ARCGIS were fuzzy and ultimately fuzzy operators were used for overlapping layers. Findings: To amend the obtained maps, algebraic multiplication and algebraic addition operators, Gamma 0.9, Gamma 0.7 and Gamma 0.5 operators were used. Obtained map from Gamma 0.7 operator was chosen as the final map of vulnerability for obtaining more appropriate result. Discussion and Conclusion: Therefore, considering the final map, and that the percentage of population density is over 1.07 in the eastern north of the area near Kan river, the possibility of vulnerability is proposed to be high in that area. Also it is possible that unpermitted constructions in Kan and Vardavard River limits will lead to water aggregation and its sudden release in the area, and if the process of unpermitted constructions and population increase is continued in the area, it can be resulted that the possibility of vulnerability against flood may be high in Tehran District 22.

        Background and Objective: Drought is a natural and repeatable disasterwhich affects all climates. Because of the intrinsically dry climate and low precipitation in Sistan plain, the main water resources are surface water originated from a neighboring country. This study investigates the relationship between meteorological and hydrological drought in Sistan plain. Method: At first, meteorological and hydrological drought were investigated by indices including moving average, SPI and SDI in Sistan plain. Moreover, the relationship between them was evaluated for 45 years. Findings: Results show that indices of meteorological and hydrological droughts do not match with each other in the entire of the study period, but there is a significant relationship between them during dry years. It was also observed that a drought period started in 1999 and continued until 2012. Discussion and Conclusion: Therefore, due to low volume and high coefficient of variations of rainfall and vital role of surface flows in the supply of water in the plain, hydrological drought shows conditions of drought is better than the meteorological drought in Sistan plain.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Human interventions have led to changes in natural systems. Climate change is the most conspicuous change that affects natural ecosystems, particularly in urban environments, which endanger urban sustainability. Resilient urban landscape design could be considered as a solution for this challenge. This paper presents a framework for the design of resilient green spaces towards adapting to climate change Method: The study area of the research is Behesht Boulevard in Borujerd, Lorestan province, (Iran). The resilience of current plantings was evaluated based on resilient criteria extracted from related literature including plasticity, biodiversity and structural diversity. Furthermore, four vital aspects of urban green space were added and taken into consideration including; economic, aesthetics, social and ecological aspects. The final evaluation conducted through Delphi method, which relies on expert opinion and AHP. Findings: The result showed that area had a fragile landscape suffering from a low biodiversity. Therefore, the new plant species were selected and evaluated based on resilience and additional anticipated criteria. Finally, the new planting design proposed considering resilience and socio-economic dimensions. Discussion and Conclusion: Existing green spaces are vulnerable to climate change. Combined cycles such as water scarcity and urban stresses increase the severity of this vulnerability. Applying fundamental principles such as reversible design can improve the quality of these spaces, making them reversible. Finally, based on the results obtained, a general strategy for redesigning urban green spaces to improve and enhance the reversible urban landscape is presented. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Hydrological modeling of watersheds plays a significant role in study, development and management of water resources. Based on importance of Taleqan Watershed as a main supplier of Alborz and Tehran Provinces water resources, in this study, surface water hydrological simulations in this basin are investigated. Method: Hydrological simulations were performed by applying physical semi-distributed SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. Moreover, model calibration and sensitivity analysis were done using SUFI-2 algorithm. Model performance is evaluated by means of statistical indicators such as Nash-Sutcliffe (NS) and coefficient of determination (R2). Findings: Sensitivity analysis showed that the parameters of the curve number (CN), soil evaporation compensation, and soil available water capacity are the most important factors to control the flow in the basin. At Gelinak station (watershed outlet), NS and R2 coefficients values after calibration are 0.84 and 0.87, respectively. These values in validation interval were obtained as 0.79 and 0.84. Discussion and Conclusion: The results show good performance of the watershed simulations. Moreover, it was shown that the model has good capability for monthly surface runoff prediction of the Taleqan basin. Due to reducing field operations costs of required components measurements and especially due to reducing the time required to analyze issues, applying this model is efficient for improving water resource management and environmental protection.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Available water resources are limited, thus use of saline water can protect water resources and compensated water scarcity. Since saline water cannot be used directly, this study investigated the adsorption capacity of Zeolite, Perlite as minerals and rice husk and seashell as bio compounds in water solution. Methods: Particles were classified in five different sizes of 841, 400, 177, 125 and 74 µm which based on ASTM sieves. Sodium chloride solution was prepared in different concentration of 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 750, 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000 and 10000 ppm.  The effects of the sizes, dosage, contact time, rate of mixing with duration of 10, 15, 25, 35, 45, 60 and 120 minutes for the salt removal done with batch experiments in 25oC. In this method the sodium chloride solution with certain amounts of adsorbent put on a shaker device with constant speed of 200 rpm and were mixed at intervals of 10, 15, 25, 35, 45, 60 and 120 minutes. Then the samples in centrifuged with 10000 rpm in 10 minute and the upper solution used for chloride titration. Findings: The effects of different amount of absorbent on salt absorbance showed that for all samples the highest absorbance is related to the range of 2 grams. Among the used sizes of particles, the most efficiency was related to the size of 74 µm in salt absorption. The optimum time of used samples was identified as 25, 15, 25 and 15 min for zeolite, perlite, rice husk and sea shell respectively. Based on isotherm model, perlite and rice husk followed Langmuir model, while zeolite and seashell followed Freundlich. Conclusion: Mineral and bio sorbents in different micron sizes have able to absorb salt ions. Among the use of different adsorbents, zeolite showed highest efficiency to salt adsorption.

        Background and Purpose: Knowledge of the ecological conditions prevailing in the region is essential to achieve sustainable development and reduce the increasing degradation of natural resources and the environment. The ecological footprint index is of great interest as a way to measure levels of sustainability. In this study, using the ecological footprint index of Hamedan urban ecosystem in 2014, it was studied. Material and Methods: In this study, ecological traces of consumption in two parts of consumption and production of the city were evaluated. The ecological footprint of the consumption sector was estimated in each of the four urban areas and using SPSS software, a significant difference between the areas, was determined. Results: The results showed that per capita ecological footprints in the consumption sector, including housing, transportation services, goods and food, were 0.13 globalhectares. The most significant ecological footprints in this section was of transportation with 3980.499 (gh) and the least important Foot print in this regard was food with 3864.6 global hectare; therefore, the urban living capacity was determined 0.59 globl hectare. Conclusion: The results indicate that the ecological footprint of the consumption sector does not create the unsustainability of the urban ecosystem and, by creating an ecological surplus in this part, the city of Hamedan is introduced as a creditor of ecology. Which indicates in this sector that the demand is lower than the supply. Besides, there is no significant difference between the ecological effects of consumption in four urban areas. It was also concluded that there was an ecological deficiency in production sector which indicates of ecosystem bioaccumulation consumption and it could disturb the ecological stability of the ecosystem.

        Background and Objective: Old trees are considered as rich genetic resources and valuable natural monuments. Among the old trees, the natural heritage of Mongabad Mehriz old cedar has always been the attention of people in Yazd province, especially the people of Mehriz city, Iran. For the management and conservation of this tree, zoning, zones management planning and landscape design were needed and necessary. Material and Methodology: The base of this classified was IUCN classification and its match to the realities and comprehensive plan of the Mehriz city. Due to the review of the resources and conditions available, the perimeter of the cedar was classified in a range of 300m in different zones, contains management and recreational zones. Board capacity was also calculated for recreational activities in the tree area. Findings: The results of zoning studies showed that 4 zones as management zones and 2 zones as recreational zones are of special importance and should be considered. Management zones include restricted nature zone, protected zone, shield Zone, and other uses zone were with an area of 2826, 5024, 23550 and 251200 m2 respectively. Type I and II type promenade zone were 11664 and 15000m2. By mapping and identifying the physical status all of the zones, the necessary proposals for each one of the zones were presented. In this regard ecological sustainability of the environment and tree health were considered. Based on this view, in order to organize the tree for the promenade, the landscape design (with the maximum maintenance of the existing green space and surrounding monuments) was taken. The capacity of the range for recreational activities were estimated at 276 people per day. Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that although activities performed in the recent years around the cedar have been the main and influential factor on tree health, but by designing and implementing management and recreation programs in the form of proposed zones, it is possible to rebuild with a focus on tree health and tourism boom.

        Introduction: Capacity assessment of natural areas in different directions is one of the tools to achieve sustainable development, to reduce pressure on ecosystems and to prevent their destruction. One of the most effective uses of natural ecosystems is circulation, which can have negative effects on natural ecosystems if not planned and planned. In this regard, determining the capacity of the recreation can mitigate to some extent these effects. Because of the nature of the study area where is mountainous, Lorestan waterfall is one of the most fragile natural areas which needs planning to manage the influx of tourists into the area can be effective in protecting the sensitive resources of this ecosystem. Material & Methods: In this study, environmental units of the region were initially formed based on important factors such as the extent and area needed for circulation activities, climate variables such as hot days, stormy and rainy days, as well as topographical variables such as slope, elevation. And geographical directions, first the physical carrier capacity was calculated and then the actual board capacity was calculated. Results: The results showed that the physical board capacity for eligible zones is 1246792 persons and the actual board capacity for suitable zones is 1664 persons per day. Discussion and conclusion: The results obtained for the range of regionally susceptible regions of the grove yielded two types of range, namely physical and real for the development of tourism. Comparison of the calculated quantities shows that considering the ecological constraints in the bush area including altitude, soil depth, vegetation cover and determined parent rock strength, the physical board capacity in areas prone to tourism development is up to 80%.

        Backgrounds and objectives: Population growth and excessive consumption of natural resources for the continuation of economic welfare, in addition to destroying the ecosystem has caused a shortage of life on the planet is vital to prevent any shortage of access to natural resources continue. This article estimates the ecological footprint of water and energy consumption (electricity and natural gas) of the household sector in the 22 districts of Tehran and estimates the environmental capacity of the mentioned resources. Analysis method: Estimating the ecological footprint of water and energy (electricity and natural gas) used in the household sector of Tehran refers to the negative relationship between the continuity of household activities and the ecological gap of the mentioned sources, which according to the results and their analysis, ecological gap more than 4 million hectares of water, electricity and natural gas consumption are available in the household sector of Tehran.To find the impact of practical solutions to reduce the ecological gap using SPSS software and Cochran test and also developing a questionnaire related to the use of resources in household,the most important factor in reducing the ecological gap is identified. Findings: Based on the results obtained and their analysis, the ecological gap of over 4 million hectares is due to the excessive use of water, electricity and natural gas in the household sector of Tehran. After estimating the ecological gap, questionnaires were distributed to clarify the causes of household waste loss. According to the statistical society, in the assessment of the questionnaire, the population of the 22nd household in Tehran was considered to be 2 million and 830thousand households.To create uniformity of analysis, the households were based on a population of 3, Then through the Cochran formula, 1100 households were sampled and they were randomly selected. Discussion and conclusion: The results of the questionnaire showed that the most important factor in reducing the ecological gap and having the optimal use of water in the household sector is reducing water consumption for washing cars,the most important factor for creating optimal power consumption in the household sector is using energy-saving bulbs.The most important factor for creating optimal consumption of natural gas in the household sector is the use of double-glazed windows and the least effective factor is the use of gas heaters proportional to the area of the houses.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The objective of this study is the investigation of factors affecting Ecological Footprint and testing Pollution Haven and Environmental Kuznets’ Curve hypotheses. Method: In this study, after introducing ecological footprint as an indicator of natural resources degradation, factors affecting it is investigated in the form of natural resources degradation model for the period 1965-2011 using Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model; and Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and Pollution Haven hypotheses were tested. In this study, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), free trade index, urbanization, human development index, development of financial markets index were used as factors affecting the ecological footprint. Findings: Results show that per capita GDP, free trade, development of financial markets and urbanization have positive and significant impacts in long and short term periods, but human development has negative and significant impact on ecological footprint. These results confirmed Pollution Haven hypothesis; but the EKC hypothesis is not confirmed and the relationship between income and ecological footprint is in the form of N. The coefficient of Error Correction is negative and significant which represent the long run equilibrium. The coefficient is -0.99 meaning that ecological footprint corrects its previous period disequilibrium at a speed of 99% annually to reach at the steady state. Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results of this study, economic growth in Iran leads to more natural resources degradation. Therefore, governments should pay special attention to development programs in order to be sustainable. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The importance of environment protection has caused different countries benefit from renewable and clean sources to generate electricity. This has led to the development of hydropower plants around the world. Also, there are different hydroelectric projects in Iran that the Seimareh Dam & Hydropower Plant is amongst them. Since climate change can alter the hydrologic conditions of different areas and the performance of hydraulic structures, this study aims to examine the impacts of this phenomenon on the inflow to the Seimareh Dam. Method: Climate conditions in the future period (2040 to 2069) are predicted for the study area using HadCM3 model under A2 and B2 scenarios as well as CanESM2 model under RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios by the Statistical DownScaling Method (SDSM model). Also, this study uses HEC-HMS hydrologic model to simulate river flow. Findings: The results of the present study show that temperature of the area increases in the future period to different scenarios, in such a way that the highest amount of increase for maximum and minimum temperature in the future period has been predicted for RCP8.5 respectively about 1.2 and 1.3 Centigrade. It is predicted that the mean annual amount of rainfall will reduce as well. Also, the assessment of simulated river flow shows that inflow to the Seimareh Dam will decrease about 5.2 to 13.4 percent in the future period. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of the present study show the importance and necessity of considering the climate change impacts in designing important hydraulic structures such as dams and hydropower plants.

        Background and Objective: Despite the wide application of de-icing substances to the roadways, the sewage produced can have negative impacts on local ecosystems. Hence, the present study was conducted for assessing the effects of road salt use throughout the winter in Hamedan on the hydro-chemical quality of Hamedan-Bahar basin. Hamedan is one of the major tourist destinations and one of the main agricultural poles in Iran, and thus, its water resources contamination may pose serious risk to the health of the whole country. Method: The modeling of under-ground water flow paths in the study area revealed that the flow of rain and snow water in the city is mainly towards Hamedan-Bahar basin (as one of the main drinking water and agricultural water supplies in the region). Therefore, the 24 wells in the study area were sampled and the hydro-chemical characteristics of the obtained water samples as well as their changing trends over the past 10 years were determined and analyzed.    Findings: The results indicated a gradual increase in the minerals and solid materials in the water of the basin. This, considering the meaningful correlation values obtained (R2≥0.89) between the salt contents and Cl- and Na+ concentrations, could be attributed to the use of de-icing materials. The rate of pollutants in some of the samples was found to be 10 times as much as the permissible national standard and international values. Moreover, based on the Wilcox diagram, the water in most stations could be classified as C3S1 (decreasing the soil fertility and resulting in ecophysiological abnormalities in crops) and even as C4S1 (completely harmful for irrigation). A similar distribution of de-icing compounds and arsenic were observed in the under-ground water of the basin.  Discussion and Conclusion: The increase in the pollution and the decline in hydro-chemical properties of the basin due to the accumulation of de-icing materials, not only pose direct hazardous effects to human health and agricultural lands but can also intensify the mobility of the heavy metals in soil-water profiles of the region. Therefore, it is suggested that winter operations in the city be planned and carried out using modern methods and facilities (such as anti-icing program, eco-friendly deicers, asphalt mixture with anti-icing additives, hydronic heating pavement), so that the negative environmental impacts can be controlled as much as possible.

        Background and Objective: Understanding the ecological niche of the different species is essential in many ecological issues.  Ecological niches of species are one of the important factors in the tree species distribution pattern and for all species, it can be detected by examining distribution of species distribution. Ecological nest models often help to understand more ecosystems. These models are applicable in predicting ecosystem stability and sustainability ratios and ecosystems. Method: In order to determine the selective pressure of different species, the indicators of the equilibrium level of selected nests, the dominant level of selected nests and the crisis level of selected nests were used and 41.5 hectares of Khirud research and educational forest were fully surveyed (100%). Then, characteristics such as diameter equal to the chest of the trees were measured and using selective nesting indices, the selected pressure and nesting levels of beech, oak, hornbeam and alder species were measured. Findings: The values of the selective pressure were measured for the species on the Fagus orientalis 66.419, Quercus persica 3. 313, Carpinus orientalis 261. 28, Alnus 36. 962 and tilia begonifolia 9. 39 respectively. The final results showed that Carpinus orientalis wasat a Dominates niche level, the Fagus orientalis and Alnus was in the balance niche level and the Quercus persica was in intermediate between balance and critical level and also tilia begonifolia was in the critical niche levels. Discussion and Conclusion: The Carpinus species were at the dominant level of selective pressure, the Tilla species were at the equilibrium level and the Quercus species were at the equilibrium level of the crisis nest. The results of this study showed that selective strain quantification is an important factor in determining the current status of endangered species. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The current study is applied to assess structural elements of landscape mosaic of Chehelsetoon garden to identify whether ecological design criteria have influenced on Chehelsetoon garden design or not.Material and Methodology: Descriptive- analytical has been used in three steps. Firstly, design criteria of Persian gardens have been studied. Secondly, design features of Chehelsetoon garden have been analyzed and compared with Persian garden criteria. Then adaption degree of design features of Chehelsetoon with Persian garden criteria has been determined.Findings: The results of the current research indicate that rectangular shapes are the main pattern of the landscape of studied area. In addition, continuous mass and rectangular shapes are recognized as the pattern of surrounding green spaces of the Chehelsetoon garden. It should be noted that green space of the main axis of garden is continuous strip patterns.Discussion and Conclusion: Using water in contrast with high humidity of the environment, land morphology intervention, incompatibility with vernacular landscape and using Persian garden pattern and planting non-native trees and flowers (evergreen trees) in the main axis of garden show that designer concentrate on developing Persian garden patters instead of ecological design criteria.

        Background and Objective: Today, many analysis of hydrological studies are applicable using ArcGIS, as a valuable tool for engineering analyzes. Determination of the geometry of the watershed and stream network extraction and analysis of physiographic parameters for morphometric analysis, is the most important step for hydrological applications. Method: Using DEM with 10×10 meter pixel size of Sarbaz watershed, was extracted physiographic parameters such as environment, area, branching ratio and drainage density using software ARCSWAT, HEC-GEO HMS, WMS and ARC HYDRO and was compared with watershed border area. Findings: The results of SPSS showed that they don’t have statistically significant differences in the level of 95% between operations of software. So, the results of Duncan test represented that all softwares are placed in a group. Output parameters of the software in numerical terms was very close. Depending on the expert opinion and ease of use of any of the software can be used to derive physical parameters of watershed. Although the border area of extracted with ARCSWAT, HEC-GEO HMS and ARC HYDRO was closer than WMS with the truth visually. Discussion and Conclusion: Because of pre-processing process required the preparation of DEM in WMS software and the difficulty with this software compared to other software, WMS software less frequently used in hydrological studies. But in hydrological studies such as flood control, sediment and erosion due to consideration of more ranks of stream the WMS software could be more appropriate. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Intervention of vernacular communities in natural patterns forms vernacular landscapes. Consequences of climate solutions and use of vernacular materials can be observed in development of settlements in these landscapes. However, agreement between natural and man-made pattern has not been investigated so far. Therefore, the current study assesses level of matching the mentioned issues.   Method: In this study, qualitative method along with interference approach is used based on analysis of Iranian vernacular landscapes (Abyaneh, Masouleh, Kandovan and Oraman vernacular landscapes). Finding: The results indicate that the development patterns of urban services such as public streets, settlements, and similar cases matches with natural growth patterns. Discussion and Conclusion: Results of this study emphasize that landscape designers should recognize natural patterns associated with natural disturbances, and thence set their design strategies. For the sake of simplicity, the mentioned process is called as ecological design, which results in agreement between natural and man-made patterns.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The unplanned expansion of cities is one of the most important issues of urban management in developing countries. Because the increasing development of urban society and unplanned constructions have created many changes in their spatial construction, which has led to the need for conscious guidance and design of suitable living space for cities. The purpose of this study is to find a set of suitable spatial zones for urban physical development. Method: Rasht city, as the center of Gilan County, has undergone many demographic and urban changes. In order to plan optimally and appropriately for the future urban development of the studied city, 14 ecological and socio-economic criteria were selected based on the opinions of experts and the Delphi method in 2018. Then the weighted linear composition method and network analysis process were used to zoning the ecological potential of the area for urban development. Findings: The results of the implementation of the multi-criteria evaluation method showed that the total area of the region is about 16.12% with very high capability. 29.54% of the region is unsuitable due to ecological conditions and unsustainable social tissue. Discussion and Conclusions: The results of this research can provide more study opportunities for planners and decision-makers to take preventive and controlling factors into strategic decisions.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: With the development of nanotechnology and materials science, however, these materials also have been used increasingly with the potential toxic effects of many unknown substances and many nano-particles were built with new properties and new despite. Therefore, in this study the effects of feeding with different sources of iron and zinc in the tissue of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were measured. Material and Methodology: For this purpose, 420 common carp (with an average initial weight 45±4.7 g) was prepared, the fish sterilization and adapted to the laboratory conditions for 10 days. Then fish were randomly divided into seven groups, the first group was considered as control groups respectively and other fish received values ​​of 10, 50 and 100 micrograms of iron and zinc nano-particles per gram of food for 60 days. Findings: Microscopic studies of organs (liver, kidney) study showed that increasing the concentration of nano-materials could have more evenly histopathological lesions in the liver tissue and cells. In the medium and low concentrations of both nano-particle and in high doses of iron nano-particles, by removing the inducer tissues could again resume their physiological activity, but in high doses, unlike the iron nano-particles, the repair tissue was not resumable. Discussion and Conclusion:  From the above results it can be concluded that increasing the concentration of the nano-particles could increase tissue damage and can be considerable factors.

        Background and Objective: Presently, the upsurge in population and construction under the pretext of development, particularly in ecological areas, has caused the natural environment to be devastated to achieve residential lands by cutting down trees. Housing usually built in these areas is not harmonious with the climate of these areas, and by wasting energy resources and environmental pollution, the health of the surrounding environment is threatened. This study tries to identify the most important environmental components in the design of ecological housing from the perspective of experts in Mino Island.Material and Methodology: In this study, data were collected by library and field study and based on the judgment of experts based on the snowball method, and using the AHP questionnaire and hierarchical analysis, the research data were reviewed.Findings: Based on the results of this study, the chief criteria of ecological housing design in Mino Island from the experts’ viewpoint can be classified into three main groups: environmental adaptation, climate adaptation, and green architecture. The components of “naturalistic design and optimal supply of green space per capita,” “benefit of sufficient light,” and “benefit of optimal ventilation” are the most important among all componentsDiscussion and Conclusion: By prioritizing the environmental components in the design of ecological housing in Mino Island, the attention of government decision makers and the local community is drawn to the construction of housing that is environmentally friendly while paying attention to climate and reducing fossil energy consumption.

        Background and Objectives: Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the revised Gash model in estimating interception by a Robinia pseudoacacia (L.) stand during the leafed and leafless periods in Chitgar Forest Park. Material and Methodology: A circular plot with an area of 0.5 ha in Chitgar Forest Park was selected and rainfall, throughfall, and stemflow were measured for two years (from 22 December 2013 to 21 December 2015). Then, the amounts of canopy and trunks ecohydrological parameters were calculated, and finally, the efficiency of the revised Gash model for estimating interception was evaluated. Findings: In this study, the mean amount of rainfall interception in the leafed period (12.7%) was significantly higher than the leafless period (9.7%). The determination coefficient (R2) value between the estimated interception values and the measured in the leafless period was higher than in the leafed period. Based on all model evaluation metrics, the performance of the revised Gash model in estimating interception in the leafless period was better than in the leafed period. Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, the Revised Gash model showed good ability in estimating interception during the leafless period, and a probable reason for the high estimation error of the model in the leafed period is the lack of direct measurement of the canopy percentage parameter. Accurately determining the amount of interception, as a canopy water loss, contributes significantly to the planning and decision-making process of forest managers and water resources managers for selecting the appropriate species for plantations.

        Background and Objective: Following the increase in environmental pollution caused by economic growth, environmental challenges have become one of the most important concerns of policy makers. Because environmental pollution leads to adverse environmental effects such as climate change and global warming, and ultimately threatens human life and ecosystem destruction. Therefore, studying the impact of factors affecting environmental degradation is of particular importance. Material and Methodology: This study intends to analyze the impact of economic factors affecting environmental degradation during the period 1995-1995, using time series data from 26 selected developing countries and 17 selected developed countries. Therefore, in order to investigate the existence of the Kuznets environmental curve in the studied countries, the coefficients of the variables in the three equations of ecological footprint, energy consumption and economic growth have been estimated by the system of equations simultaneously with panel data (panel 3sls). Because in this method, due to the simultaneous estimation of the equations, the estimated coefficients have a higher accuracy. Finding: The results of estimating the coefficients of the model using the three-stage least squares technique with panel data indicate that the existence of the Kuznets environmental hypothesis in developed countries cannot be confirmed because the coefficients of GDP and squares are negative and positive, respectively. But, in developing countries, the coefficients of GDP and squared variables have been positive and negative, respectively, which confirms the existence of the Kuznets environmental hypothesis in these countries. Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results, the variable of energy consumption in both developed and developing countries has a positive and significant effect on environmental degradation, while the variable of trade openness in developing and developed countries has a negative and significant effect on pollution and ecological footprint. Therefore, it is suggested that due to the high importance of the environment, along with planning and policy-making for higher economic growth, the enactment of environmental laws and the use of environmentally friendly technologies should be considered.

        Background and Objective: Hills, as one of the main components of the ecological structure in a hilly town, are influenced by human actions and affect them. The landscape Ecology Approach examines diverse ecosystems at different scales and balances human actions and natural processes. In this study, changes in the ecological structure of four significant hills in Sanandaj (Tosonozar, Nishtman, Mellat, and Didgah) were investigated using Google Earth images and two ecological metrics over 16 years (2020-2004). Material and Methodology: The ecological structure of these hills was investigated by object-oriented method in six classification categories and their changes. Also, by using FRAGSTATS 4.2 software, the status of two ecological indicators, FRAC and CONTIGH, were calculated and checked in the hills until 6/20/2019. Findings: Man-made elements have increased (19%) in all hills, especially in Nishtman. Also, rangeland cover has decreased (32%), especially in Tusunozar and Nazgah hills. The complexity of landscape spots in all hills except Toos-Nozar has increased. Also, the continuity Toos-Nozar has decreased except Toos-Nozar hill. Discussion and Conclusion: The elimination of pastures and plant species, the increase in recent fires and droughts, and the increase in human interventions such as construction and motorways, the cohesion and ecological flows of these hills have posed a severe threat. Simplification while homogeneity of landscape components in Toos-Nozar hill indicates the distance of landscape components from their natural state. The decrease in continuity in the three hills, including Mellat, Didgah, and Nishtman, indicates an increase in fragmentation and discontinuity in these hills' natural landscapes. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective The phenomenon of desertification is one of the serious ecological crises with extensive and long-term natural and human effects. Therefore, executive measures related to desertification control should be based on recognizing the current state of desertification of lands and its severity. On the other hand, the weakness of methods for measuring the intensity of desertification, always requires the need to provide new and quantitative methods. The need to address methods that can provide zoning based on strong logic and principles and rational theoretical foundations seems necessary in the field of desert management. Material and Methodology: In this paper, it has been tried to do so by using the Fuzzy Topsis method. In this method, after   determining and evaluating the effective indices by the fuzzy Delphi method and preparing the layer of work units, the data were fuzzy by the Chen and Huang methods. The fuzzy analysis process was performed on the data. Finally, a normalized fuzzy decision matrix was obtained, which within the framework of this matrix and by TOPSIS method, the intensity of desertification was estimated. Findings: The obtained results showed that, 9.34%, 7.71% and 12.57% of the total study area are in the very high, high and relatively high class of desertification, and Desertification with low (46.57%) and medium (23.81%) has the highest share in the study area, respectively. The quantitative value of desertification intensity for the whole region was 0.262 located in relatively medium or III class.  Discussion and Conclusion: The study showed the efficiency and ease of application of fuzzy logic in assessing the intensity of desertification. The results of this study provide the possibility of planning to minimize desertification as a result of development projects, and can create conditions where a balance between development plans and the environment is possible based on the priorities and vulnerability zoning of the study area.

        Background and Objective: There is a disproportionate increase in the use of non-renewable fuel sources such as fossil fuels. Under such circumstances, a large amount of these fuels are consumed undesirable and wasted. The aim of this study is to determine the carbon footprint of gasoline and diesel consumption during 2016 in transportation sector in Bandar Abbas. Material and Methodology: Initially, the per capita fuel consumption of gasoline and diesel in the transportation sector in Bandar Abbas was estimated for one year. Fuel consumption in all vehicles was obtained through the energy balance sheet for 2016. Gasoline and diesel consumption in the transportation sector was measured in hectares of land needed to compensate for the pollution caused by it. After obtaining the ecological footprint, the required amount of forest land was multiplied by the equilibrium coefficient (1.26). Findings: One-year consumption of gasoline was 448.36 million liters and diesel consumption was 351.8 million liters. Carbon released from gasoline consumption is 286,496 and Carbon released from diesel consumption is equal to 257,193 tons. One hectare of forest land is needed to absorb every 1.8 tons of carbon Ecological footprint of gasoline consumption is 200,549 and per capita is 0.295 global hectares and ecological footprint of diesel consumption of Bandar Abbas population at the rate of 180,035 and per capita 0.265 global hectares. Discussion and Conclusion: According to the population of the city and its size, 1.488 hectares of land is allocated to each resident of the city. Land consumption of Bandar Abbas residents is 0.2 times more than the area of the city.     Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Residential land encroachment on agricultural areas presents a global challenge regarding land use management. Such a challenge needs crucial attention in Iran where agricultural activities suffer from resource shortage and land use management practices are ineffectively planned and enforced. Material and Methodology: An attempt was first made to delineate agricultural land use suitability. Two scenarios namely Current Development (CD) and Environmental Development (ED) were mapped and transplanted to CA-Markov model to simulate urban growth up to 2030, 2040 and 2050. Finally, severity of conflicts was analyzed based on loss of the extent and the corresponding suitability of agricultural lands.    Findings: The results showed that ED scenario is more successful in protecting suitable agricultural lands than CD scenario (nearly one thousand ha). Moreover, CD scenario is projected to occur in areas with relatively higher agricultural suitability values. The difference between the scenarios is not significant for near future (2030), but significant for the ending simulation period (2050). Discussion and Conclusion: ED scenario is more succeeded in protecting quantitative and qualitative agricultural lands. By implementing this scenario from now, it takes 35 years to significantly mitigate the conflict between the two land uses. However, the effectiveness of such scenarios requires simultaneous attention to socio-economic parameters. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Considering the increasing development of gas and oil industries in Pars Gas Complex and consequently the increasing environmental problems, especially impacts on air quality, conducting knowledge-base and efficient studies for assessment and management of environmental issues in such region are of high importantance. Method: In this study, environmental air quality at the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone was evaluated using fuzzy logic in 2013 and 2014. In contrary to classical crisp logic, fuzzy logic is a highly vaulted logic in which variable vary between 0 and 1. In fuzzy logic, it is possible to assess the quality and environmental risk using qualitative (linguistic) and quantitative variables. Two fuzzy inference systems were constructed respectively based on air quality index (AQI) and Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, Xylene and H2S Quality index (BTEXHQI) to obtained the fuzzy air quality index (FAQI) in this study. Weighted rules in fuzzy inference system were calculated based on previous studies, sensitively analysis and environmental expert opinions. Findings: Results show that SO2 and Toluene are the agent pollutant in fuzzy inference systems based on AQI and BTEXHQI, respectively. For instance, fuzzy index of environmental air quality of Assaluyeh was calculated as 201 (very unhealthy) and 173 (unhealthy) in 2013 and 2014. Discussion and Conclusion: The obtained results indicate that quality indexes and environmental risks are being improved as one of the most important achievements of ISO 14001 and HSE management systems.

        Abstract Background and Objective: Considering the effects of power plants locations on society, economy and environment, it is important to choose a suitable site for this facility. In order to find a suitable location for the construction of combined-cycle power plant, GIS can effectively provide a combination of the required information for site selection. This study aims to identify the most important factors in determining the appropriate place for the construction of combined-cycle power plants. The role and influence of each factor (distance from access roads, altitude, slope of the land, distance from the earthquake-prone areas, distance from surface water resources and distance of the fault lines) are also determined. Method: Using fuzzy membership functions, the standardized criteria maps were created in GIS based on the nature and role of these factors in the site selection. First, it was necessary to multiply these layers to their weights based on their priorities for combination of the criteria. Fuzzy AHP was used for this purpose. Finally, Ordered Weighted Averaging was used to overlay and combine the layers. Findings: The results indicate that the northwestern part of Qazvin province is inappropriate for the intended purpose and eastern and southeast parts of the study area are forecasted. Discussion and Conclusion: Since the risk level of making decision is controlled at high, low or intermediate in combination of the layers by this method, the application of the results of this method will be acceptable, making decisions based on this method will have less uncertainty and the results of this method can be used with more confidence.

        Background and Objective: Considering the water crisis, especially in the last decades, investigation of groundwater quality and identification of the factors contributing to the decline of water quality in this resources are important. The information on available sources of groundwater in Ardebil show that, in the absence of excess surface water, much of the water consumed in the study area comes from groundwater sources. The most significant processes of geomorphologic study of groundwater are alluvial fans and terraces waters. Therefore, in this study it has been attempted to establish a relationship between the shapes and surface morphology of Ardebil plain and its groundwater resources tin order to estimate the groundwater resources based on what has been observed in the nature. Methods: In this study, to assess the quality of the groundwater samples, the quality data from wells was received from the Regional Water Company of Ardebil. Also the Arc GIS software was used to draw the maps. Findings: EC of groundwater in the Ardebil plain has been changed from 267 to 6580 μs/cm (with an average of about 1284 μs/cm) during the years 1994, 1998 and 2013. Discussion and Conclusions: The results show that the chemical properties of geologic formations are the most influential factors in the quality of groundwater resources in the region.

        Abstract Background and Objective: Proper management of sewage is one of the most important environmental issues, organic matter and nutrients, including phosphorus compounds, are the potential pollutants of the receiving waters. Release of phosphorus from municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent to the environment is one of the main reasons for the phenomenon of the Eutrophication. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the amount of nutrients and organic matter in wastewater of Yasouj city and efficient removal of nutrients such as total phosphorus by modified Bardenpho system. Method: This is a cross-sectional study. The sampling method as Composite Sampling and study population was samples of treatment system input (after screening system) and output of treatment system (after sedimentation). In order to identify of affecting factors on phosphorus removal use of modified Bardenpho pilot. The amount of nitrate, total phosphate, COD and BOD5 removal for 9 months was evaluated. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS software (version 16). Findings: According to the results, the average of input COD in system (674.55±228.54), input phosphorous (21.26±4.8), input nitrate (25.91±19.63), input BOD (378/33±106/66) mg per liter and the input pH (7.22±0.35). There is a significant Relationship between the input COD and percentage of phosphorus removal (P.value=0/004), but there is not significant relationship between the pH input and phosphorus removal percentage (P.value=0.339). Most phosphorus removal was observed in Solids Retention Time (SRT) of 15 days (69.72%). Internal recycle of 200 percent (68/96%) showed the highest percentage of phosphorous removal. Discussion and Conclusion: According to obtained information, the optimum conditions for phosphorus removal showed SRT =15, HRT =0/5-1 in anaerobic tank, the internal recycle percentage of 200%, recycled activated sludge (75%) and keep the DO =2-3. Therefore, for removal of phosphorus addition of physical and chemical methods can use of modified biological processes. In this systems, by replacing of an anaerobic stage at the beginning of the process, improve phosphorus removal. This method can be a good alternative to treatment plants with activated sludge system. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Nowadays pesticides are extensively used to protect food security worldwide. Due to their undesirable effects, they are considered as important environmental pollutants. Methods for pest biological control are enumerated as an alternative for chemical pesticide. This study was performed to isolate and identify the antifungal-compound-producing Actinobacteria againstAspergillus nigerfungi (stored product pest)and Bipolaris sp.(responsible for root and crown rot disease) from wheat farms of Hajiabad region, Hormozgan province. Methods: Three farming sites were sampled in this study. Actinobacteria were isolated by soil extract agar and starch casein agar media. Antifungal activities were evaluated by well diffusion agar method. Potent isolates were identified through morphological, physiological, biochemical, and genetic analysis. Findings: Approximately a total number of 207 Actinobacteria isolates were isolated. From two isolation media, the soil extract agar yielded 125 isolates and exhibited more efficacy. Results of physical treatments showed that heat treatment could isolate 85 colonies and followed by desiccation and UV treatments by 57 and 46 colonies respectively. Evaluation of the antifungal activities of 100 morphologically distinct isolates revealed that only two isolates exhibited antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Bipolaris sp. Identification of potent isolates according to morphological, biochemical and physiological properties showed that these isolates belong to Streptomyces genus. Genetically, identification and phylogenetic analysis based on16srRNA gene revealed a high similarity between Streptomyces sp.MG-11and Streptomyces albus (similarity: 99%) and between Streptomyces sp.MG-21 and Streptomyces griseus (similarity: 99%). Discussion and Conclusions: Results of this study suggest that Streptomyces sp. MG-11 and Streptomyces sp.MG-21can be considered as appropriate candidates for biological control studies against the selected fungal diseases in wheat farms. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Rainfall-runoff Simulation is very important in many hydrological studies, such as investigating the effects of climate change on river flow, flood prediction and planning of water resources. SWAT model was used to simulate stream flow transport, sediment and quality variables (nitrogen and phosphorus...) in the watershed areas. SWAT model is a distributed time series model with physical basis. This model has an ability to connect to GIS, in a way that vast volumes of data as information layers such as land use, soil map and the DEM using GIS capabilities are used by the model. The main purpose of this study is testing SWAT model performance as a simulator of flow at the catchment scale. Method: This study attempts to prepare a model for Gharesou catchment. Moreover, the parameters were optimized using SWAT-CUP optimizer. Findings: The model was calibrated for the years 1992-1996 and validated for the years 1998-2000. The coefficient of determination (R2) for monthly flow was equal to 0.82 and Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient (Ens) was equal to 0.8 in the calibration period while in the validation period these coefficients were 0.77 and 0.73, respectively. Conclusion: These results indicate the success of the SWAT model, using optimized parameters, for the stream flow simulation in Gharesou catchment. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Water renewal time, one of the important indicators, is considered for estimation of health status of marine ecosystem. The Khozeini channel has been the second communicative ways of the Gorgan Bay with the Caspian Sea which is blocked by decreasing of sea water level and sedimentation in recent years. In this investigation, in order to considering of Khozeini channel possible dredging effects on the Water Renewal Time in the Gorgan Bay, the Hydrodynamic and Advection-Dispersion modules of two-dimensional Mike21 FM model were coupled  simultaneously. Method: The modeling on two triangular unstructured meshes and under two different open boundary conditions by including wind stress, water fluctuations in the mouth of Bandartorkaman-Ashoradeh and Khozeini channel, rivers input, evaporation and precipitation during index year were done. To determine the amount of dispersion coefficient in the Gorgan Bay, salinity modeling using Advection-Dispersion module of MIKE 21 FM were developed. Findings: The results two-dimensional salinity modeling showed that the best of dispersion coefficients are 350 m2/s in Gorgan Bay. The results of calculating of the Integral Water Renewal amount under blocking Khozeini channel condition was 54 days and dredging channel condition a width of 170 m was 41 days. Discussion and Conclusion: The best time for Water Renewal Time modeling in Gorgan Bay is the beginning trend of intering annual water level rising in the Caspian Sea. Renewal Time values are depending on hydrodynamic regime and salinity dispersion coefficient in Gorgan Bay. According to the common counterclockwise water circulation pattern in Gorgan Bay, Khozeini channel dredging reduces Integral Renewal Time of up to 13 days. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Heavy metals are considered as serious pollutants due to their toxicity, persistence in natural conditions and ability to enter and accumulate in the food chain. Therefore, this study was carried to assess the potential ecological risk and identify the source of heavy metals including lead, arsenic, cadmium and zinc in the surface water and sediments from Gheshlagh river, Sanandaj. Method: For this purpose, 16 samples of surface water and sediment were collected. Then, concentrations of arsenic, lead, cadmium and zinc were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Moreover, potential ecological risk index (PERI) and enrichment factor (EF) were utilized to assess the ecological risk, and heavy metals pollution index (HPI) was used to survey the effects of heavy metals on human health. Multivariate analyses such as correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and EF were used to identify human resource potential of arsenic, lead, cadmium and zinc. Findings: The results showed that the average concentration of a group of elements, including Pb, Cd and Zn, was higher than background levels, whereas average concentration of As was significantly lower than the background levels. Enrichment of the studied heavy metals was obtained as Pb> Zn> Cd> As in Gheshlagh river.  The results of PERI showed a low risk for Pb, As and Zn and a moderate risk for Cd in the samples under the influence of road traffic. Discussion and Conclusion: Considering the results of EF and PCA, it can be concluded that the concentration of As has been mostly affected by the geological structure. Pb and Cd concentrations in four sampling areas were equally affected by agriculture and road traffic. It was also found that the concentration of Zn is influenced by residential wastewater.   Manuscript profile

        Soil can retain the environmental pollution, so by chemically analyzing it, we can learn about the pollution of a region. In the present study, samples of Tehran northwest soil are used. In total, 16 soil samples are collected and the mean concentration of Pb, Zn, Ni, and V are computed to be 173ppm, 101 ppm, 62 ppm, and 44 ppm, respectively. The results show a higher concentration of Pb than those of other elements. Moreover, the mean Pb concentration in the present study is 1,200% higher than that of the earth’s crust, which is because of air pollution. The elements (Pb, Zn, Ni, V, & Fe) were also studied in terms of biological accessibility and the related figures were obtained in the following order: Pb(929ppm)>Zn(27ppm) > Fe(7ppm) > Ni(5ppm) > V(0ppm) Furthermore, the cluster analysis revealed that Pb had an organic basis and that there was a high positive relationship between Ni and V. Since V is known as an oil pollution indicator, it can be concluded that Ni is scattered in the soil of the region due to fuel consumption.   Manuscript profile

        In this research, analyzing the meteorological drought is performed by using of five commonly usedindices including: Rainfall Standard Index (ZI), Deviation from Mean Index (SDI), Percent of NormalPrecipitation Index (PNPI), Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) and Precipitation Classification range (PC)on seasonal and yearly precipitation data in the four synoptic stations of Zahedan, Zabol, Chabaharand Iranshahr, using the same period starting from 1964 and ending to 2005. The result showed thatSDI method performs more reliable estimation compared with PNPI, ZI, RAI methods in the annualand seasonal time scales. Based on SDI method, Sistan and Balouchestan Province has experiencedfrequent meteorological drought in both seasonal and annual time scales. In annual time scale, thefrequency (percent) of intense and severe droughts was smaller than frequency of mild and mediumdroughts. In the seasonal time scale, on average, based on SDI method, most (42%) of severe andintense droughts occurred in summer, but in winter, the risk of severe and intense droughts wassmaller (12%), We also used 3-year and 5-year moving averages method for evaluation of trends anddrought duration in the annually time scale in the mentioned sites. The results showed that the rainfallstandard index (RAI) performs different results from other indices. Other results also indicate that theintensity and frequency of meteorological drought are increasing in this province Manuscript profile

        Soil can register environmental pollution in itself, so the pollution of an area can be studied through the chemical analysis of its soil. In the present study, the soil ofMellatParkinTehranwas sampled. In total, 15 soil samples were collected. Using laboratory methods, the mean concentration of Pb, Zn, and Ni were obtained to be 145, 33, and 62 mg/kg, respectively. The results show that the concentration of Pb is much higher than the other elements in the area. When compared with its concentration in the crust of earth, the concentration of Pb inMellatParkproved to be higher; a finding which is due to the air pollution of the area. In the rest of the study, the biological accessibility of the elements (Pb, Zn, Ni) was determined. The amount of biological accessibility of various heavy metals in the soil of the studied area is as follows: Pb (55mg/kg) > Ni (37mg/kg) > Zn (16mg/kg) Based on cluster analysis, lead cannot have an organic origin because a low similarity quotient was established between organic elements and this metal.  Manuscript profile

        AbstractIntroduction: Encountering hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) during excavation is one of the important engineering,geological and environmental hazards during the tunnelling. Tackling this hazard and solving its challengessolving are very difficult and costly. During investigation of the situation, one of the main tasks is prediction orevaluation of the risk of H2S gas and selection of the best methods to tackle its engineering and environmentalproblems. In this study, water conveyance tunnel of Aspar excavated in H2S bearing environment is discussed.This tunnel is excavated in the hydrocarbon formations. In this paper, hazards, characteristics, safety regulations,and geological sources of H2S as well as the methods to decrease the risks and problems in excavation of thetunnel are presented in brief.Methods: In order to determine the source of gas and to select the best methods to mitigate its hazards andproblems, in addition to investigation of the same experiences, concentration of various gases was recorded byfixed stations on the machine and by mobile sensors at the beginning, midpoint and end of each working shift.Moreover, sampling of the polluted air and water was implemented. The samples were sent to a specificlaboratory for chemical analysis. At the same time, concentration of the gas in the air and water of the tunnel wasmeasured.Results: Experiments raleted to the tunnel showed that the gas caused an unacceptable condition for workers.For predicting the risk of H2S gas in underground spaces, it is possible to use some evidences such as sulfursprings, organic traces, organic shales, exposure of H2S odor from fresh surface of rock, and smelling of H2Sduring boreholes drilling. Results of the analysis show that the gas enters the tunnel along with water,dominantly. Also considerable amount of the gas is released to the air at the beginning. According to theinvestigations, the source of the gas is relevant to hydrocarbon formations inthe area.Conclusion: Geological formations related to hydrocarbon resources are very important in the formation andreservation of H2S gas. Since the gas is in solution form and is emitted promptly, controlling the inflow ofgroundwater into the excavation, diluting the concentration of H2S and training the workers are a series ofmethods used to decrease the risks and problems associated with tunnel excavation in an H2S-bearingenvironment.

        Abstract Background and Objective: Nowadays, landfill method is used as the last strategy in the integrated solid waste management hierarchy. It is more common and has lower costs than other sanitary disposal methods. Selecting the suitable landfill site can prevent the inappropriate ecological and socio-economical effects. Landfill site selection requires the analysis of spatial data, regulations and accepted criteria. The main objective of this study is to determine the suitable common municipal solid waste landfill site for Khomeynishahr and its 6 adjacent cities. For this purpose, the multi criteria evaluation method, GIS and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used to evaluate the suitability of appropriate landfill site by emphasizing on regional vision. Method: Different information layers related to the maps of the study area were provided and superposed using both the Boolean and fuzzy methods (classification of suitable areas in the valued range of 0 to 255) in the GIS environment. The AHP was used for weighing the information layers. Findings: After the necessary analysis, the proposed suitable landfill sites with an area of less than 1% were defined in 5 regions and in central parts of the study area. Conclusion: The results obtained from this study can be used as the first priority to help the decision makers in suitable landfill site selection.   Manuscript profile

        Human being has made its own environment undesirable in cities by adverse changes on it, so in order to recreate, refresh and rest, mankind needs to get faraway to difficult accessible places. Nowadays tourism industry which is a human intrinsic need turns to one of the important activities and economic indicator for countries and has played a highly important role in countrys national benefits in economical and cultural section. The "Dare eshgh" zone which is located in Chahrmahal- Bakhtiary province is one of the regions that has full potential for developing ecotourism. This region has capability for developing various tourism activities such as wild life, Canoe polo, mountain and rock climbing. Village and tribe tourism is another tourism potential of this area. In addition, this area is the origin and habitat of various herbal and animal species which increases the environmental sensitivity and importance of this area. Developing sustainable ecotourism needs establishment and planning comforting facilities. Also sensitive bio-factors such as soil, water, herbal resources, wild life, must be considered so the ecological potential of the land must be recognized by assessment and determine land suitability for preservation, recreation or other activities. In this research localizing tourism village is assessed based on Dr Makhdoms model and is performed by GIS instruments. Between areas that have tourist potential "Dare more" was recognized suitable for recreation activities. This area is over hanged to "Dre eshgh waterfall" which has the most important view of region- and accessible road. In addition most lands of this region has low slope. In order to increase ecotourism activities, some other facilities such as camping sites need to be placed. This area is introduced as recreation centre and as long as other potential ecotourism activities do not endanger the protection of the environment, can be considered as wide refreshing activities.

        Background and Objective: Increasing of degradation process in Chestnut (Castanea Sativa) pure stands as reserved forest in west of Hyrcanian forest led to genetic erosion of the stand. Understanding of ecological demands of plant species is necessary for their management and conservation. So we investigated on leaf morphologic characteristics of chestnut in response to different light regimes.  Method: For this purpose 60 trees of natural stands around of Ebrahim Emamzade (in Shaft city located in Guilan province) were selected. Ten leaves (40 leaves from every tree) randomly were selected from four aspects of trees (north, south, east and west). These leaves were imposed by different light regimes. Some of the parameters such as lamina length, lamina width, distance from leaf base to the leaf maximum width, petiole length, nerves (counted variable), teeth (counted variable), leaf tooth width, leaf tooth length, tooth distance and tooth index were measured and analyzed after calculating the plasticity for each character in four aspects. Findings: The plasticity values showed that there is no significant differences among four aspects of crown. The results indicated that plasticity of all studied characters is so low while the most value of C.V was belonged to leaf limb width (4.04%). Discussion and Conclusion:  The results of ANOVA showed that all studied parameters had no significant differences between surveyed aspects except distance from leaf corner to the most leaf limb width. Our finding confirmed that morphologic characters of Castanea sativa leaf has low flexibility in response to light conditions. We suggest that study of other ecological demands are necessary for presentation of accurate guidelines to forest managers. Manuscript profile

        This research evaluates the meteorological drought spells by multi-dimensional comparison of fourmeteorological drought indices supported with 35 years rainfall data (1967-2001) series records for 22 rain gauge stations in a cold semi-arid region located in west of Iran. Drought indices include: Percent of Normal Precipitation Index (PNPI)، Z Standard Index (Z)، Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) and Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). After calculation of drought indices for the desire time scale، they were evaluated and compared using correlation relations. Using Cluster Analysis technique، the drought status in the region was classified into different categories. The criteria were the statistical ones based on the succession of dry، normal and wet years. It was found that both Z and RAI indices were statistically similar and gave almost similar results in drought evaluations. By correlation، all indices of PNPI-Z، PNPI-RAI and Z-RAI in all stations indicated high reciprocal correlations in addition to Z-RAI which showed similar results explaining drought conditions. Finally، from the correlation relationships and the output den do-grams، RAI and Z were respectively identified as the best indices for meteorological drought evaluations in the region، due to more relevance to the reality than the rest. These indices showed that four droughts have occurred during years of 1967-1968، 1976-77، 1983-84، 1988-89، 1996-97 and 1998-99. Despite the common use of SPI in monitoring the meteorological drought in Iran، this index is not recommended for cold semi-arid climate conditions. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Ecological capability evaluation is to realize the potentialities of a land in the form of expected and achievable applications. This study is aimed to design a new model for service and civil development application to be employed in the evaluation of the country’s ecological capability studies. To this end, first the frequency of sustainable and unsustainable ecological factors inIranwas identified. Then, theDelphimethod which is a branch of phase theory methods was used. Prioritization of effective ecological factors and assessment of the frequency value of each factor were made by completing 750 questionnaires for desired branches (Delphigroup). The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS software version 11.0. After being designed, the model was introduced to the geographical information system using Arc info program. The model’s sensitivity analysis test was done with the purpose of determining the extent to which favorable responses are affected by certain changes in the target function through Simplex method using lingo software. This model is used in the evaluation of ecological capability at the time of analyzing the ecological resources of the field under examination and after preparing the map of environmental units. In fact, environmental units map is considered as the fundamental map in ecological capability evaluation studies. To asses the capabilities of the new method, ecological capability of District 22 in the city ofTehranwas evaluated as a case study and the service and civil development application map was prepared using Arc view GIS 3.2a program. The results of the study show that the points given to environmental units vary from zero to sixty-five.

        Numbers of Persian Leopards have considerably decreased in recent years and for this reason it has been categorized as endangered in the IUCN classification. Habitat destruction is believed to be the main cause of the species population decline. Hence, attempts to preserve the remaining habitats of this kind of animal effectively are deemed essential in reversing its downgrading trend. To hit this target, habitat of the species was modeled in Kolahghazi National Park in Isfahan Province of Iran using Ecological Niche Factor Analysis.  Biogeographical maps as independent variables included prey locations, prey diversity, slope, roads and mines activities in the region. The location of the species direct spotting or indirect presence detected through various indices served as the dependent variable in the analysis. The study in the Kolahghazi National Park suggested that, the best environment for the Persian Leopard is in altitudes between 1800-2400 m above the sea level with slopes ranging 20-70% in mountainous regions.

        Background and Objective: Landfill leachate has been identified as a potential source of ground and surface waters contamination due to the generation of leachate. Further, landfill leachate may percolate through soils and cause the large pollution of streams, creeks and water. Hence, the aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of a laboratory-scale ABR in different COD concentrations and hydraulic retention time for COD removal. Method: In this research, an anaerobic baffle reactor (ABR) was used for biological landfill leachate treatment. The ABR was 10 cm wide, 60 cm long, and 10 cm depth and was constructed from Perspex with an effective volume of 6 L. The ABR was seeded with anaerobically digested sewage sludge taken from an anaerobic digester of a wastewater treatment plant in Qaemshahr city. Landfill leachate used in this study was collected from a landfill leachate waste municipal site located in Kiasar, Sari. The experiments used in this study were chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, suspended solids (SS) and alkalinity. Findings: The anaerobic baffle reactor (ABR) has been have an appropriate performance for COD removal of landfill leachate. Also, the results showed that this reactor presented an acceptable capability of pH control and acidogenic microorganism separation from others. On the other hands, the results demonstrated that an alkalinity remained at the desirable level in the reactor and it is not necessary to add chemical materials to control it. Moreover, the suspended solids were significantly removed in this reactor. Discussion and Conclusion: The obtained results indicated that the highest COD removal (86%) was achieved at the HRT of 2 days where the COD concentration of 2700 mg/L was reduced to 380 mg/L. Furthermore, the system performance at lower hydraulic retention time was decreased. At the COD concentration of 2700 mg/L, 70% decrement of the reactor efficiency was observed by decreasing hydraulic retention time to 12 hr. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Today, urban planners have become interested to consider sustainable development in their planning. Evaluation of ecological capacity for urban development in order to select appropriate locations is the main factor in sustainable development. In this study, it has been attempted to evaluate the ecological capacity in order to determine the best possible regions for urban development in Baghmalek district by applying a combination of Analytical Hierarchy Processes and geographic information system. Method: In order to achieve this objective, first we recognized the effective criteria in urban development using the previous studies and by collecting opinions of the experts by Delphi methodology. Finally 5 criteria and 12 sub-criteria were selected. Then, we determined the priority of the criteria against each other by pairwise comparison method and by applying Analytical Hierarchy Processes. Finally, the required information layers were valuated based on fuzzy logic in environment of Geographical Information System (Arc GIS 10.2), the calculated weights were applied on them and ecological capacity map was prepared by weighted overlaying the layers. Results: The results indicated that %46.65 of the studied area has a completely unsuitable potential, %39.62 has an unsuitable potential, %12.27 has an average potential, %1.17 has a suitable potential and %0.29 has completely a suitable potential for urban development.   Conclusion: According to the classification of the final map, it was concluded that the prone areas for future physical development in Baghmalek district can be further expanded in the northern part. On the other hand, Southeast and East directions because of having mountainous regions, face with more restrictions for future development.                                                                                                                                                            Manuscript profile

        Abstract Background and Objective: Land degradation modeling is one of the environmental impact assessment methods that quantitatively represents the effects of human activities. The purpose of applying this model is to identify the destruction factors and susceptibility degree in ecosystems in order to prevent further destruction by other projects and to show the feasibility of future development to decision markers. Method: The study area was firstly partitioned into 94 cells (1600 ha) and then 14 degradation factors along with their intensity were identified using land use map, field observations and expert views. Ecological susceptibility and physiological density were then determined and all cells were classified into four categories as recommended for development, required for reconstruction, required for protection and cells with no development potential based on fuzzy theory. Findings: The results show that 22 cells (23.40% of the total area) out of 94 cells require reconstruction, 37 cells (39.36% of total area) have no development potential, and 35 cells (37.22% of total area) are recommended for development.  Discussion and Conclusion: The effects of destructive activities in this region (that is mainly due to the detrimental effects of tourism activities) were evident, so that the destructive activities such as change in land use and land cover, on the one hand, and waste and rivers pollution, on the other hand, were found as the main causes of destruction in the region. Out of 94 cells, 21 cells and 16 cells had no development potential due to faults and due to being in Binalood protected area respectively. 35 cells are recommended for development in first to third priorities; these cells are in low physiological density area. 22 cells, due to high physiological density and severity of the destructive agents, have a high degradation coefficient and need to be reconstructed, and therefore should be excluded from any future development.

        Background and Objective: The restoration and maintenance of landscape connectivity and integration of its elements require reliable and efficient communication models and indicators. Habitat fragmentation is a dynamic process that leads to major changes in the pattern of habitat in a landscape. It describes, generally, the fragmentation and division of vegetation cover and habitat into smaller remnants. Modeling based on the least-cost path analysis is a method used to identify the potential corridors among the isolated habitat patches. Method: This study aims to locate suitable habitats for the Persian Leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor) in Golestan National Park and Khoshyeilagh Wildlife refuge and the area between these habitats. Given the close proximity of these habitats, their connectivity for the safe movement and energy consumption minimization of the Persian Leopard has vital role in gene flow and prevention of genetic isolation of the species. Findings: The habitat suitability for the Persian Leopard in the study area was analyzed using the ecological niche factor and biomapper software. The data layers used as effective variables in the presence of the species are: elevation, slope, vegetation index (NDVI), distance from roads, distance from villages, streams, and rivers. Discussion and Conclusion: The possibility of corridor existence between the two habitats was studied by the least-cost path analysis. The results of probable map corridors proved that the northern parts of Khoshyeilagh wildlife refuge and the southern parts of Golestan National Park are the shortest and the safest pathways for the species movement. Conservation of these regions is of high importance, because the best route through which the leopard can move between the two habitats are located in these sections.     Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Present status of cities emphasizes on the creation of an extensive and planned green space, with highlighting green spaces in order to establish ecological balance against the built environment. In this context, ecological parks that have been raised at the end of the last century, can be as an important factor to solve this problem. The overall objective of this study is to enhance the urban environmental conditions in order to promote the environmental sustainability through ecological designing and connecting the built environment with the existing natural virgin lands such as mountains in the cities. In this way, a suitable condition can be introduced as the scientific-economic support for education and developing a proper environmental culture. Method: The method used in the present study is based on descriptive and analytical practices.  In this study, the southwest mountains of Mashhadhave been studied. After fundamental studies, the case study examples, feasibility and evaluation of the ecological capability of the study area were conducted. Finally, based on Makhdom’s model, the results were presented as solutions. Results: The findings show that only 35% of the study area have a potential for future use and activities and the rest should be considered as a virgin natural area. In potential activity zones, zoning is done in a way that in the edges with a lower slope connected to the city, there is greater utilization of land and with penetrating into the site and higher slopes, utilization of land is reduced. Conclusion: The results show that in the process of eco-park designing as an ecological design sample, those criteria and activities which distinguish eco-parks from other types of parks are taken into account. Also in the designing process with ecological assessment, with respect to the environmental layers and localization of ecological models for determining the value of land use, the highest efficiency and minimum environmental impact can be achieved.

        Background and Objectives: Soil microbial properties such as biomass, microbial respiration and nitrogen mineralization can be used as indicators to show the stress caused by heavy metal pollution on soil quality. The aim of this study was the measurement soil microbial activity to evaluate the effect of soil Ni contamination on soil quality and determination of ecological dose 50 (ED50). Method: This study was conducted as a factorial experiment in year 2016 based on a randomized completely design with three replications. The experiment factors including Ni concentration in six levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 300 and 600 mg Ni kg-1) and two incubation times (15 and 60 days). Soils sample was spiked uniformly with different concentrations of NiCl2. Microbial respiration, microbial biomass carbon, heterotrophic population and metabolic quotient were measured after incubation times of 15 and 60 days, then according to the results, ED50 was determined by using the dose-response curve. Findings: Soil Nickel contamination on the indicator was significantly effective at P<0.01 level. Heterotrophic population, respiration and microbial carbon biomass decreased significantly (P<0.01) compared to control by increasing the Ni concentration and incubation times, whereas the increase of Ni concentration and incubation times were not significantly affected on metabolic quotient. The minimum amount of microbial respiration, microbial biomass carbon, and the heterotrophic population was observed at the end of incubation times and 600 mg Ni kg-1 with 77.07, 75.72 and 99.99% decrement compared to the control, respectively. ED50 value (mg/kg soil) of microbial respiration, microbial biomass carbon, and heterotroph population increased from 77.55, 78.63, 81.34 to 97.84, 111.04 and 84.67 respectively, with increased incubation time. Discussion and Conclusion: The soil contaminated with Nickel acutely decreased the biological activity of soil and the ecological dose increased with increasing the incubation time, suggesting that toxicity of Ni to soil microbial activity was decreased with increased incubation time. Ni concentration of 100 mgNikg-1 soil can be considered as the critical range of Ni for soil quality at which negative effect was observed. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Rainfall-runoff simulation is very important in many hydrological studies, such as investigating the effects of climate change on river flow, flood prediction and planning of water resources. SWAT model was used to simulate stream flow transport, sediment and quality variables (nitrogen and phosphorus) in the watershed areas. SWAT model is a distributed time series model with physical basis. This model has an ability to connect to GIS, in a way to cover a vast volume of data as information layers such as land use, soil map and DEM while GIS capabilities are used by the model. The main purpose of this study is testing SWAT model performance as a simulator of flow at the catchment scale. Method: This study attempts to prepare a model for Gharesou catchment. Moreover, the parameters were optimized using SWAT-CUP optimizer. Findings: The model was calibrated for the years 1992-1996 and validated for the years 1998-2000. The coefficient of determination (R2) for monthly flow was equal to 0.82 and Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient (Ens) was equal to 0.8 in the calibration period while in the validation period these coefficients were 0.77 and 0.73, respectively. Conclusion: These results indicate the success of the SWAT model, using optimized parameters, for the stream flow simulation in Gharesou catchment. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: For protection of biodiversity and because of fast destruction of revocable national source which is becoming more challengeable every day, strengthening and expansion of protected area is the only proper way. In Iran, in addition to existence of fourfold conservative area, there are no hunting areas as an example of natural areas. These areas are valuable and prepared for conservation of nature ecological balance and preventing the extinction of plant generation and animal species. This area "with an area of about of 81373 hectare" is located in the West of Meybod and North-East of Sadouq in Yazd Province. In this study, for the first time, the ecological land capability of Marvar, with perception of conservation according to IUCN criteria, was evaluated to be designated as a protected. Method: Systematic Analysis method, Makhdoum (2001) ecological models and GIS were used for evaluation of Marvar no-hunting area. In this study, at first regional resources (socio-economic & ecological) were found. Digital data along with attribute data were insetted to the ArcGIS system to make the data base. Therefore, by overlaying information layers in the mentioned system, the ecological details were mapped for the area and the table of characteristic unit was presented. The evaluation of capability and zoning were done and fertilized area for suitable uses was selected. Finally, baised on the obtained result for the protected area classification system, the area was introduced as a conservative area according to national and international criteria. Results: According to the obtained results for ecological and economical-social resource, six zones were identified in this area as wilderness/ecological zone:(4.25%), protected zone:(41.62%), extensive use zone:(26.3%), intensive use zone:(9.4%), spatial use zone:(1.25%) and land use zone:(17.18%), and nearly half of the area was allocate to protection use. The, small extent of this area with high vulnerability shows its capability to be placed in higher conservative class. Hence, evaluation of obtained results under the condition of protected area according to available criteria explain shows that Marvar no-hunting area with approximately broad extent, has a high ecosystem diversity (mountain, plain and hill), considerable species diversity (52 plant and 82 animal species) and also high wildlife values such as economical, biological, and science-training values. Moreower, tourism attractions have high conservative value and can introduce a protected area in classification of fourfold areas of Iran, as well as in fifth class of IUCN, including areas under management of protected landscape or Seascape.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Natural hazards like earthquakes, tornados and floods can cause considerable losses to lives and environmental properties. In order to develop an appropriate risk management and loss mitigation strategy, it is crucial to develop reliable methods for risk assessment. Risk assessment is defined by both assessing the likelihood and intensity of the natural disaster. Methodology: In order to assess earthquake vulnerability in this research, governing factors were identified and weighted using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Vulnerability map for census tracts of Tehran city has been provided with the help of Index Overlay (IO) and Fuzzy Logic methods. Results are presented visually in GIS environment. Results: The results indicate the preference of fuzzy logic in determining vulnerability of areas, although index overlay method with sufficient number of weight classes for each factor can bring similar results. In addition, index overlay method benefits from simplicity, faster problem solving and more flexibility in combining inputs and ranking outputs. A suitable method for the preparation of vulnerability map must observe the fuzziness rate of parameters, the appropriate selection of membership function and the optimized integration of data layers.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Agriculture, as an economic activity in nature, has had a major impact on biodiversity and natural landscapes. In this context, environmental awareness is a broad concept that includes not only knowledge about the environment, but also refers to the attitudes, values and skills required to solve the environmental problems. Biological information of farmers involves their awareness about the environmental problems, the factors contributing to development of these problems and the measures that theycan do to improve the situation which determines their biological performance. Method: This descriptive-analytical study attempts to investigate the farmers' knowledge and biological performance in the southern Barandouz Chai village located at the central part of Orumiyeh Township. One-sample-t-test and correlation were used to analyze the data. Results: The biological knowledge of the studied farmers was at a level higher than average, and their biological performance was at a level lower than average, showing a strong correlation between their knowledge and biological performance. Conclusion: The lower level of biological performance compared to biological awareness in the studied farmers is due to the fact that they have to use fertilizers and pestidides to fight with pests though they are aware of the problems created by them. Moreover, despite having the knowledge of some aspects of modern irrigation methods, the farmers were not able to use them because of the existing difficulties and financial constraints.

        Background and Objective: Persian Gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa subgutturosa) has been distributed in 14 countries. Among these countries, at least in 12 ones the presence of livestock has been mentioned as a factor of Gazelles habitat destruction. Qaraviz no hunting area in Kermanshah province, with the structure of hill and rising ground, is one of the best Persian Gazelle habitats in the west of Iran. The most important obstacle in this regard is entry of livestock of villagers and nomads into its habitat. The aim of this study is to compare the ecological niche of livestock (sheep and goat) and Persian Gazelle in autumn and winter. Method: In order to model the Gazelle habitat, the presence of point the species and 12 environmental factors of slope, aspect, altitude, vegetation density index (NDVI), type of vegetation, distance from the river, distance from the road, distance from the areas of human activity, distance from the village, distance from the border stations, distance from the presence of livestock, and distance from spring and trough were used. Moreover, to model the habitat of the livestocks in the region, the presence point of livestock and 9 environmental factors of slope, direction, height, vegetation density index (NDVI), type of vegetation, distance from the river, distance from spring and trough and distance from the presence point of Gazelles were used. Modeling was carried out by ecological niche factor analyzing method performed in Biomapper software. Findings: Gazelles and livestock in both seasons tended to the low-vegetation density and south direction. Gazelles in both seasons tended to the vegetation types of Poa bulbosa-Annual grass, while the livestock in the region in autumn and winter, tended to the vegetation types of Astragalus spp.-Amygdalus scoparia - Salsola rigida and Poa bulbosa-Annual grass, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a correlation (P-Value<0.05) between habitat suitability for livestock and Gazelle in tow seasons of autumn (R=0.8) and winter (R=0.65). The suitable habitat of Gazelles in autumn season is shared in greater amount with the livestock. Conclusion: Based on the results, marginality of ecological niche of Gazelles narrows from autumn (1.05) to winter (1.48), whereas the ecological niche of the livestocks widens from autumn (0.927) to winter (0.836). The results show that pressure from the entry of livestock of villagers and nomads has been effective on narrowing the Gazelles’ ecological niche. Manuscript profile

By measuring the diversity, distribution of species in the environment can be studied with an emphasis on the dynamics of ecosystems and proper management recommendations can be presented. Method: In this study, 90 plots (1 m2) were established in the study area in a systematic-randomized manner. Presence and cover percent were determined within each plot.Also identification of medicinal plants, belonging to genus and family, was performed and biological type,life form and growth form were determined. Shannon and McIntosh diversity indices were used to estimate the species diversity of medicinal plants in taxonomic, life form, biological type and growth form levels. Conclusion: The results showed that the species diversity of Asadli-Pelmiss rangelands could be considered as moderate, and the vegetation of the study area was mostly of perennial plants species which is a characteristic of mountainous areas with cold climate in altitudes Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The current study has been performed to present the ecological restoration strategies of natural Margoon Waterfall landscape as a natural monument and dynamic ecosystem of Fars province based on landscape restoration principles. To achieve this important goal, landscape mosaic of the region has been studied and analyzed. Method: In this study a descriptive – analytic method is used for ecological restoration of Margoon waterfall protected area. For this purpose, first, landscape mosaic structure and flows are analyzed trough aerial photo to recognize landscape disturbances. Afterwards, design strategies (both restoration and conservation strategies) are presented based on ecological assessment. Findings: The results show that Margoon natural landscape faces large disturbances such as biodiversity destruction (plant and animal), soil erosion caused by destroying riverside trees and forests to develop farm land, air and sound pollutions, and decrease of water level through climate changes. These factors cause reduction of ecological quality. Conclusion: Results of this study emphasize on conserving riverside trees by deleting the incompatible activities in the vicinity of natural attraction, improving domestic plant community by cultivating Zagros plant, protecting wildlife habitat and removing tourism parking from the surrounding area of natural limits of riverside trees.

        The problem of portfolio optimization and stock selection is one of the major areas for financial investors in financial markets. In this paper, some of the challenges of simultaneously multi-objective portfolio optimization are addressed. Four different models are designed: a fuzzy multi-objective programming model has been used to consider the multi-criteria nature of stock selection and the uncertainty associated with the return on assets and a simple model for doing this. The models are designed in such a way that both the nature of the multiplicity of the problem of portfolio selection is considered and the considerations of the investor in the choice of portfolios are involved. After designing the evolutionary 3 and 4 objective models of portfolio optimization, multi-objective evolutionary algorithm NSGA-II was used to solve this models. Concretely, it optimizes return, the downside-risk, skewness and the Kurtosis of a given daily returns, taking into account budget, and investor constraints. Because of the NP-HARD nature of the above models, the NSGA-II proprietary algorithm was coded in the MATLAB, and after solving each model and extracting the Pareto frontier, the best portfolio on the Pareto front was selected based on the maximum Sortino ratio. Finally, the results of the obtained portfolios in both fuzzy and non-phase conditions were compared according to the trainer's ratio, and it was determined that the use of fuzzy logic in quadratic evolutionary algorithms, compared to a situation where fuzzy logic is not used in the design and use of these algorithms., Creates more favorable results.

        Optimization of banks' foreign exchange portfolios aiming to determine an optimized combination of foreign exchange assets is in such a manner that it leads to a minimum risk and maximum yield. The approach used in this article, which is actually a priority over other methods is to use a combination of inexact mathematical models (fuzzy) and optimization. Thus, in this research, linear programming with fuzzy target coefficients has been used. The target coefficients are the same as the exchange rate. In other words, the daily rates of all currencies due to fluctuations are considered as fuzzy numbers. Therefore, in this investigation, by developing a multi-purpose mathematical model and by applying the fuzzy data relating to transaction rate of six foreign exchanges in year ended on March 20, 2020, including US dollar, Emirates Dirham, Japanese Yen, Turkish Lira, Korean Won and Euro, case by case risks related to the fluctuations of noted foreign exchanges and also their yield in the foreign exchange portfolio of Bank Mellat were measured and estimated for the future time horizon. All banks may benefit from the developed model. By determination of the optimal weight of each foreign exchange, upon describing and analyzing the existing status it specifies the optimal status, enabling banks to fulfill their foreign exchange obligations on due dates by properly and optimally making investment in foreign exchange assets meanwhile gaining a competitive advantage. "Gams Software" was used for solving the model. Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of psychological variables on investors’ decision-making in companies listed on the stock exchange. For this purpose, using Cochran formula and selected 193 shareholders of companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during 1398. The purpose of the study is causality. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that a researcher-made questionnaire was used in this study. Its 36 questions assess 12 psychological variables (behavioral biases) and 10 questions analyze investor behavior (CANSLIM -Financial Analysis). The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were evaluated. Confirmatory factor analysis, construct validity and Cronbach's alpha coefficients confirmed the reliability of the variables. The results of structural equations showed that the trust, adaptability, representation, self-attribution, imaginability, latency and ambiguity, and eventivism had a significant effect on the investors using CANSLIM Analysis. Trust, reliance, adjustment, familiarity, imagination, ambiguity and eventivism have a significant impact on investors using financial analysis. Structural equation results also showed that 12 behavioral bias accounts for 75% of the variance in investor behavior of consumer analysis and 68% of the variance of investor behavior on financial analysis. As a result, it can be said that behavioral biases affect investor behavior. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to test psychological mechanisms on how perceived portfolio returns affect investors and risk-taking, and whether these psychological mechanisms play a moderating role. Past portfolio behavior is important for investors in investment decisions. The statistical population of this research is active investors in Tehran Stock Exchange, the sample was selected by available sampling method. Using a closed questionnaire, collected information to analysis the research hypotheses using structural equations and path analysis with Phoenix software. The results show that expected returns of a portfolio formed in the past make investors more risk-averse and thus show a higher attitude towards risk. From the other side the interaction of psychological characteristics (overconfidence, optimism and willingness of risk taking) has a moderating effect on the relationship between the expected return of the past portfolio and the portfolio turnover, portfolio trading volume and portfolio risk sharing of investors. The results lead to the conclusion that the presence of underlying biases deteriorates financial behaviors. Manuscript profile

        Despite the new finance theory and efficient market assumption in capital markets, some empirical documents and market anomiles causes a new theory called behavioral finance. This theory describes the psychological process effects in financial decision makings and the way in which one would determine the financial market behavior. This approach which is the result of the Psychology and finance combination have led to more accurate and contemporary aspects of human behavior in financial markets. This research is empirical and descriptive in this paper after the introduction of the development of the behavioral finance, the entropy theory and physiological patterns of human decisions are illustrated. It is concluded that entropy theory can be implemented to understand and predetermine the investors behavior in financial markets. There are several important personal entropy factors that affect the behavioral finance: these are: Conservation principle, plan or agency, collective behavior, over confidence loss- aversion and risks taking. Hence, the financial advisors can suggest portfolios which are proportionate to investors objectives and attitudes. It is expected that behavioral models development and observed phenomena explanation would lead to market and the optional use of the information in the markets. Manuscript profile

        Selection of the investment strategy is a bothersome and sophisticated process because of taking into consideration a large number of quantitative and qualitative parameters like benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks. However, the parameters may have a significant influence on each other. A decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) can be used to construct a network relationship map. On the other hand, according to the information is incomplete, uncertainty is an inseparable part of making decision in solving the MCDM problems. Therefore, this paper proposes a new hybrid model based on analytic hierarchical process (AHP), DEMATEL, and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques under fuzzy environment to evaluate the problem of the selection of the investment strategy. For achieving the aim, a three-step process is presented to formulate the problem under consideration. First, the structure of the investment problem is broken into a simple hierarchy structure by using the AHP method to simply model the problem and calculate the importance weights of criteria by using a pairwise comparison process. Second, the interdependent relationships are identified by applying the DEMATEL technique. This technique is employed for computing the global weights of benefit, opportunities, cost, and risk (BOCR) factors. Finally, the fuzzy TOPSIS methodology is used for prioritizing the alternatives. To show the effectiveness of the proposed model, a case study is investigated. The results demonstrate that the proposed model is capable of prioritizing the investment strategies. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important problems in capital market is allocating financial resources in an optimal fashion. In an effective capital market, from an operational point of view, the capital is allocated for the best investment option. Therefore, in order to establish more output, making use of appropriate management tools is a step toward more effective market management of transactions. Regarding backgrounds of applying Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic in stocks investment and financial prediction, applying them in selecting an appropriate portfolio can lead to desired results for investors. The major goal of the current research is to achieve an optimal investment portfolio in capital market by applying Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic. Accompanied by Markowitz Model, models were used which were created through Artificial Neural Network. In order to establish investment portfolio, some of those companies were selected which were active in Tehran stock exchange, and which have had positive efficiency from the year 1386 to 1395. In order to evaluate the suggested portfolios in different conditions, the output of different portfolios based on the monthly and yearly output of the member companies were compared and optimization of suggested portfolios using genetic algorithm were carried out. The study shows that using the Fuzzy models versus mentioned models would provide higher output for the investors.     Manuscript profile

        Background and Purpose: Recognizing the flood hazard zones and its spatial analysis is an effective step in preventing financial and human losses from this natural disaster, and as a result, it contributes to the sustainability of the environment. In the current research, the flood risk assessment in the Aharchai catchment area located in East Azarbaijan province is presented.Methods: In this regard, geographic information system and spatial analysis are used, and in order to create flexibility in the integration of existing information, fuzzy logic is used for flood risk zoning. SCS method was also used to estimate runoff height and peak discharge.Findings: Flood risk zoning using fuzzy logic shows that about 10% of Ahrchai catchment area is in high and very high-risk classes. Based on this, the floodplains and flat surfaces of the foothills for reasons such as low relative height, low slope, proximity to the main waterways, intersection of branches and high drainage density, high values ​​of valley depth and low values ​​of land surface convexity are more vulnerable to floods. The findings show the high spatial variation of runoff height and peak discharge at the level of Ahrchai sub-basins.Discussion and Conclusion: With the help of the proposed method, the determining factors in the occurrence of floods and also the potential areas of runoff were determined. In general, the southern sub-basins of Ahrchai catchment have the potential to produce runoff and low peak flows. On the contrary, a significant part of the northern sub-basins of the study basin has high runoff and peak flow production potential. The northern half of the Ahrchai basin corresponds to the southern slopes of the Qara Dagh mountain range, whose geological structure is mainly composed of igneous rocks with low permeability. In this way, the sub-basins in the northern half of the basin have a high potential for producing runoff due to receiving more rainfall and low permeability of the soil. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Economic growth and financial development have brought unfortunate consequences, especially in the field of environment and natural resources, because most of the economic activities are closely related to the environment, and in fact, it can be said that the fate of the environment and the economic growth of societies are dependent on each other. In this study, the effects of globalization, economic growth, and financial development on the ecological footprint in Iran have been investigated. Material and Methodology: Quantile regression model was used for this research and for the time period of 1360-1400. This method has gradually become a comprehensive method for statistical analysis of linear and non-linear models of response variables in different fields. Findings: Based on the results; in the first and second (lower) quadrants; Economic globalization, economic growth, energy consumption, financial development, and population density have a positive effect on Iran's ecological footprint, and from the third and fourth quarters onwards, the intensity of its influence on Iran's ecological footprint increases. In other words, the indicators of globalization, economic growth and financial development in the first quarter (Q25) and second quarter (Q50) have a positive temporal correlation with Iran's ecological footprint. Then, as the lag components move away and move towards the third (Q75) and fourth (Q95) quartiles, the correlation between the study indicators and Iran's ecological footprint increases. Discussion and conclusion: In Iran, due to the abundance of energy and natural resources, the price of energy is low, which has caused excessive and incorrect use of energy. Granting banking facilities with easy conditions, tax exemptions and such for producers of gas and electric appliances with high energy efficiency and imposing heavy taxes on the other hand, lack of financial support and lack of licensing for producers of energy-intensive appliances with low energy labels, granting customs discounts for Importing gas appliances with high efficiency and not allowing entry or high customs duties for importing gas appliances with low efficiency can be useful in reducing energy consumption and ecological footprint.

        Population growth, changing pattern life, increasing migration to cities, low level of technology and limitation of convenience agricultural land and incorrect use of basic resources would intensify resources damage. While mention to natural resources and environment for keeping their production ability is so important. Desirable keeping of these resources is related to understanding the situation, path and scale of resources changing by measurements like ecological footprint indicator. Because of importance of sustainable issues in different  economical sectors special in agricultural sector because of using more environmental resources in this article ecological footprint indicator in agricultural sector is estimated by using actual land demand approach in Iran during 1376-86 then the results is used to evaluate the sustainable of agricultural activity in and out of country. The results indicated that agricultural activity in Iran is compatible with internal economy and is adverse with global economy. Also never less internal production is secured sustainability, actual land demand was increased specially in these years that mean sustainable situation was depressed in internal economy. So it suggested that must be used actions for adoption of sustainable method in agricultural sector in internal and review the trade pattern in global level.        Manuscript profile

        Backgeround and Objective: Sustainable urban landscapes affect the psychological well-being of citizens, and the characteristics of the sustainable landscape in the context of ecological parks are very important due to the citizens' welcome to the parks while protecting native plant and wildlife species and promoting human values and vitality in a recreational environment. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of eco-park indicators on sustainable urban landscapes.. Material and Methodology: This research is analytical-descriptive with a practical purpose and a statistical population. According to the target group of experts in the field of landscape and green space in Mashhad, 28 people have been selected by the counting method. Prioritization of research variables and significant relationships between them were performed by a T-test with SPSS software and Smart PLS.The indicators of eco-parks in these parks are poorly evaluated, and these two parks still face construction challenges in the natural texture of the mountains, but the indicators have a higher score than the mountain park due to the use of a less intact mountainous area and more citizens' knowledge of Sun Park. Discussion and Conclusions: Eco-park indicators are effective in sustainable urban landscapes. Among the various factors, environmental and functional factors have a higher score, and a component of ecological integration means maintaining a stable and diverse structure of different species with a higher score among environmental factors.

        Background and Objective: Nowadays, unplanned exploitation has acclaimed to be behind the wetland destruction despite their remarkable hydrological values and precious functions. As per Ramsar Convention's guidelines, “wise use” and ecological approach are solutions. In this study, the foremost purpose is presenting sustainability strategies as in order to recover Boujagh Wetland as case study. Material and Methodology: The process of assessing ecological risk was performed through Risk Quotient (RQ). Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to illustrate the spatial distribution of threat factors. Determining wetland strategies related to sustainable development indicators, the Working Wetland Potential (WWP) model has been utilized. Findings: Solid waste and effluent discharge, agriculture drainage influence, fish farming, illegal fishery and haunting, boating, and unplanned recreation were distinguished as significant threats on Boujagh area mostly concentrated around on the shoreline and along the Sefidroud River. Ecological risk assessment was conducted for frogs and toads, which are at the beginning of the food chain and relatively high resistant against environmental stresses. Cadmium and cooper risk scores were estimated upper than 1 that means very high level in both dissolved and sedimentation statuses, amongst all substances. Considering wetland functional potentials, three key strategies of "conservation", "wisdom utilization", and "public participation" were eventually recognized to improve and rehabilitate the wetland. Discussion and Conclusion: Wetland enhancing interactions are in line with essential human needs, sustainable tourism, mitigation, and environmental conservation. Current activities could be possibly adapted via flexible management and creativity; moreover, incompatible factors might be gradually eliminated by public participation. Manuscript profile

        Objective field: The discharge of heavy metals from various industries has negative effects on the environment and living organisms. Conventional technologies for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions are not economically viable and, in addition to not being effective at low concentrations of metal ions, produce large amounts of chemical sludge. Nickel's biological uptake by living, inactive, microbial or plant-derived biomass is an alternative and innovative technology to remove this contamination from aqueous solutions. It has high absorbency and reabsorption capacity. Investigation method: In this research, in a review study with the aim of introducing different types of microbial and plant-derived biological adsorbents in order to remove nickel from aqueous solution and reveal the adsorption capacity of each adsorbent, articles found between 2001 and 2020 have been used. Findings: Research has shown that the use of these biomass as a biological adsorbent for the removal of nickel in aqueous solution is a promising and environmentally friendly prospect. Discussion and conclusion Based on thermodynamic studies in most nickel biosorption processes with different adsorbents, the value of ∆G° is negative and the value of ∆S° is positive due to the increase of random collisions between solid and solution during the process.

        Abstract Soil pollution and accumulation of heavy metals in soil are one of the most important environmental issues that threaded the life of plants, animals and humans. Heavy metals due to their toxicity, stability and bioaccumulation are the serious environmental pollutions. This study aimed to evaluate heavy metals pollution of landfill soil of Zahedan city in Sistan and Baluchestan province. Measurement of heavy metals performed in April 2016 at 10 sites based on common standards, by using of random sampling method. 20 composite samples were collected from surface and depth of the soil. After sample preparation, total amount of Chromium, Cadmium, Lead and Arsenic in the soil samples were extracted by nitric acid and for statistical analysis used the SPSS software version 23. The results of ANOVA on samples of the surface and depth of the soil for these elements have been suggested that there is a significant difference at different stations. The results of PLI study showed that the soil of landfill of Zahedan with PLI value less than 2, has low pollution and the highest pollution in surface and depth of the soil is respectively related to station 2 and 1. The results also showed that heavy metals, Chromium, Cadmium, Lead and Arsenic in surface and depth of the soil with Ecological Risk 203.855 and 236.93 respectively which is located in the category of moderate contamination of Ecological Risk.

        Ecological indicators can be used to assess the condition of the environment, to provide an early warning signal of changes in the environment, or to diagnose the cause of an environmental problem. Ideally the suite of indicators should represent key information about structure, function, and composition of the ecological system. There are some concerns that hamper the use of ecological indicators as a resource management tool. Monitoring programs often depend on a small number of indicators and fail to consider the full complexity of the ecological system. Choice of ecological indicators is confounded in management programs that have vague long-term goals and objectives. Management and monitoring programs often lack scientificrigor because of their failure to use a defined protocol for identifying ecological indicators. Thus, ecological indicators need to capture the complexities of the ecosystem yet remain simple enough to be easily and routinely monitored. Ecological indicators should meet the following criteria: be easily measured, be sensitive to stresses on the system, respond to stress in a predictable manner, be anticipatory, predict changes that can be averted by management actions, be integrative, have a known response to disturbances, anthropogenic stresses, and changes over time, and have low variability in response. It is better than using the GIS system for the best analysis to select the indicators. Manuscript profile

        Contaminated soil with heavy metal is one of the most important environmental issues in the world. The refining plant is one of the methods of refinement and prevent potential pollution hazards of heavy metals in soil. The purpose of this study, effects of various concentrations of EDTA on some morphological characteristics and the efficiency of EDTA for Increased Ni from soil and to compare their effects for enhancing of Ni extraction with Indian mustard (brassica juncea L). For this purpose, a greenhouse experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with four replications. Soil samples were mixed with 600 mg/kg of nickel sulfate and the seeds were planted in soil of pot. The experimental factor was including 0, 1, 5, 10 and 12 mmol EDTA that after the seed cultivation have been added to the soil. The results of the research showed that The application of different EDTA concentrations decreased morphological characteristics and increased soluble nickel concentrations in soil and transfer it to the inside of the plant and this changes was significant compared to the control treatment. The increase in soluble nickel concentrations in soil and transfer it to the inside of the plant inhibits the absorption of essential elements to the plants shoot and thus, repelled the growing process. In general, Indian mustard (brassica juncea L) due to high nickel resistance can be introduced as a Ni hyper accumulator to EDTA induced phytoextraction technology.  But according to the preventive effects of these substances on the growth of the plant should be used for low concentrations.   Manuscript profile

        The information about the geographical distribution and habitat selection is the core of the conservation and management of threatened species. Habitat destruction is one of the major threats to biodiversity. Therefore, knowledge of the need for biological and identify favorable habitats for wild boar have very important role in the way of habitat species management. This study is going to model the habitat of wild boar in Jassib wildlife sanctuary and determine the most important environmental factors affecting the choice of species-habitat. The provided survey has conducted in one-year period in four different seasons of the year. So Ecological Niche Factor Analysis (ENFA) and software Bayvmpr was used. Information layers used as effective variables on the species consisted of, slope, aspect, elevation, distance from the source, the distance from the village, away from canals, roads, vegetation index, vegetation type, land use and distance to human development, respectively. The results of the analysis showed that ecological niche factor, Boyce index values for average algorithm median, mean geometric distance, the harmonic mean and minimum distance during four seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) and a one-year period is not really enough. Boyce can be concluded based on index values; the accuracy is not very good production. The reason for this variance is high, indicating low precision and low predictive power of the model. Based on index values of Boyce it can be concluded that the accuracy production is not very good. The reason is for the higher variance which indicating lower precision predictive power of the model. Thus, ecological niche factor analysis model is less functional due to low quality and small-scale habitats. The ecological niche factor analysis is not a good way to study the habitat of Jassib hogs Wildlife. Therefore, identification of species distribution and dispersion of wild boar in Jassib wildlife sanctuary have paly important role as a facilitator for executives and environmental experts and farmers in order to achieve an efficient management to reduce conflict as well as identify areas that are at high risk damage and their protection must be in a priority as well.   Manuscript profile

        Every ecosystem supports Fauna life by giving direct or indirect benefits and services. Mangrove forests are the most productive ecosystems among them on this planet. This significant ecosystem, is one of the most valuable coastal ecosystems that not only is a source of food for humans and animals, but also has a key role in the protection and stabilization of costlines (by increasing soil cohesion), erosion prevention and weather control. Also this ecosystem is a habitat for breeding of different kinds of fish, crabs and amphibians and provides a safe home for some mammals, birds and arthropods. Mangrove acts such as a barrier against natural disasters (cyclones, hurricanes and tsunamis) and thus provides a safe place for coastal communities. Despite safety, environmental and habitat function, these forests are still under threat from human activity, with the result that, biodiversity and forest areas of mangroves, in many areas, are decreasing rapidly. So, the purpose of this research is to inform researchers and inhabitants of the coastline about ecological benefits (safety, environmental and habitat) of mangrove ecosystems and use of proper strategy and management to protect this rare and precious habitat against more destruction. This study was a review of published studies. In order to protect mangrove ecosystems against further destruction, attraction of private and public investment in order to use green technologies and to inform coastal residents to create a proper management strategy, is necessary.

        The characters of a lyrical poem depict human emotions that originate from individual and society’s heart. (sense of) Shame has always been one of the most important emotional elements in Iranian culture as well as romantic relationships. The reflection of this theme leads to the formation of all kinds of shame, each of which leads to different reactions. In this research romantic relationships are studied by comparison of two poems "Vis and Rāmin" and "Khosrow and Shirin", in two different time periods (before Islam and after Islam), while conceptual analysis of shame reflection and selection of keywords are analyzed as well. The results of the study show that the type of shame is different in these two poetries and while having different contexts, it also appears differently in the performance between lover and beloved, which is carefully analyzed.

The author evaluates these novels based on Bakhtin's conversational logic and the components in it, and in the meantime, the research has answered the question of how polyphony is represented in the selected novels. The results of the research show that in the above stories we witness polyphony, but the form and manner of expression of this polyphony are different and in each story factors such as: gender, social and economic structure, intellectual currents in the form of two poles of self-awareness and cultural alienation are involved. The results of polyphony are represented in the form of components more than other factors. Women often have the role of following the thought that is issued from the moral reference of the story, and they generally strengthen the polyphony in the story with a partial style. The social and economic structure, class conflict, and intellectual currents in the stories, each of them create the field of discourse diversity by creating two opposite poles as the other.

        Poetry as a Fuzzy Domain: How Metaphor and Ambiguity Make Poetry Fuzzy?AbstractFuzzy logic is, in all likelihood, an ancient domain known probably even to Aristotle's predecessors. However, it was not until 1965 when professor Lotfizade published his article ''Fuzzy Sets'' that it was systematized into a decent field of study. Fuzzy Logic challenges Aristotelian logic on many grounds, rejecting its rigid division of the world phenomena into binary oppositions, its certainty and its ignorance of the grey ground in between. Little work is done in Iran on the implications of fuzzy logic for literature and especially poetry. Far from being a first step, this study is an attempt to answer the call, posing such questions as the following. Is literature a fuzzy phenomenon? How? Can metaphoricity be graded? What about ambiguity? How does metaphor and ambiguity make poetry a fuzzy domain, introducing the concept of continuum and blurring the previously-held boundaries?Keywords: Fuzzy logic, Literature, Poetry, Metaphor, Ambiguity.

        The present study is a cross-cultural survey of American Sylvia Plath’s and Iranian ForughFarrokhzad’s poetry in the light of Showalterian feminist viewpoint. Elaine Showalter believes that analyzing women’s works according to the male-constructed theories would result in mere imitation of male discourse and consequently mere silence of women even in evaluating their own works. Thus, she presents a female framework i.e. Gynocriticism. The present writers are to scrutinize some Plath’s and Farrokghzad’s poems according to the above-mentioned framework and come to the conclusion that both poets reject the pre-established norms of patriarchal literature. As two avant-garde poets, they create a literature of themselves on the basis of their female entity and experience. Manuscript profile

        Henry James, a well-known American-British novelist, writes about women as human beings in his works and does not look at her from a gender perspective. Now in this article, art is like a painting or, in other words, a portrait that tries to draw and narrate a woman. Woman is written not as a woman but as an imitation or representation of a woman or prior woman. This theme evokes Deleuze-Guattari's interpretation of alienation to some extent. Both influenced by the poststructuralist and anti-enlightenment intellectual trend are a special form of literal writing that resists against any coding interpretation and avoids any predictable, subject-centered structure. In this research, which has been written based on analytical –descriptive method, author intends to analyze based on Deleuze's theory of logic of emotion and minority literature, women do not have a predetermined framework in James's art stories and especially in "The Future Madonna". They look forward the future and do not represent the past; So he does not seek to represent and wants to portray "Seyrurat" i,e. becoming. Manuscript profile

        This article compares the concept of "abjection" in Forough Farrokhzad's poem "Another Birth" with the thought of ​​"rejection" in "Powers of Horror" by Julia Kristeva. This article seeks to study "abjection" images based on a comparative reading of "powers of horror" by Kristeva in Forough's "Another Birth." The reason for choosing Forough Farrokhzad is that Kristeva's theory is very capable of being applied to her poems. This theory, of course, covers a wider range of Farrokhzad's poems, which is beyond the scope of this article. On the other hand, her poems as the central basis for the enlightenment of Kristeva's theory on the phenomenon of abjection are also very evident. Abjection is one of the most fundamental currents of the subject in the process: i.e, a state of rejection of what is considered other for self, thereby creating ever-unstable boundaries for self. Abjection is something that a person rejects, throws away, and expels almost completely. Manuscript profile

        The Melody of the Rainy City written by the renowned Iranian playwright Akbar Radi and The Fool written by the controversial British dramatist Edward Bond are discussed in the present article by drawing on sociological criticism to illustrate the similarities of these playwrights’ outlooks. Both writers are highly concerned with social injustice in the capitalist systems and believe that people’s economic situation determines their way of life, thoughts and behavior. In spite of cultural differences emerging out of living in two different social contexts, Radi and Bond share some ideas over the social problems induced by capitalism, therefore depict such problems as social inequality and the suppression of low classes by the owners of wealth and capital in capitalist societies. They also demonstrate the dependence of people’s behavior and mindset on their social status, and the functioning of ideology and different social institutions in sustaining the power of those who possess money and rule over the society.

        Abstract: One of the requirements for commentators to understand the divine verses is, undoubtedly, knowledge of grammar and syntax. In the current article, to understand the purpose of God, some examples from the commentary books of Mufatih al-Ghaib and Tasnim have been examined. Also, the influence of grammar and syntax on thinking and speculative theological methods in these two commentaries has been investigated. In some cases, due to the commentators' lack of attention to the morphological structure of the words, the context of their lack of understanding of the purpose of the verse has been created; Because sometimes they have confirmed their theological thinking by citing a special analysis of the verse arrangement. Here, attention is paid only to those verses whose influence on the speculative theological style of the commentator is evident. In order to investigate the role of syntax knowledge, only those verses of the Qur'an that recount the influence of syntax knowledge on the commentator's speculative theological method have been examined; such as the dispute about "Waw" in the seventh verse of Surah Aale-Imran, the dispute about "Lam" in the verse seventy-ninth of Surah An'am, and the dispute about the reference to pronouns in the fifteenth verse of Surah Hajar and the hundred and fifty-seventh of Surah A'raf. It seems that trying to understand the correct application of examples of morphological and syntactical rules is related to the speculative theological character of commentators and affects it.

        In Iranian legislative systems, unlike other legal systems, the classification of murder is not recognized. Now the important question is, how can combine the "standard criterion" that is the criterion in "acting typically causing murder another" with the personal criterion based on "perpetrator awareness and attention"? The answer is that materially and externally, the perpetrator's action should not be based on a certain criterion, i.e, from the point of view of a "normal person", in most cases, it leads to the murder of another, and unintentional murder, but also from a psychological point of view, should be found that he was aware of this. In this article, while analyzing the concept of jurisprudential and classical premeditated murder, we examined its degrees according to the severity of criminal intent and concluded that the type of grading is both effective in the amount of punishment and it can be in accordance with the principles of criminal justice.

        The way of thinking plays an important role in human life and function. Human beings are distinguished from each other according to the kind of attitude they have towards God, the world and themselves and are divided into two groups: optimistic and pessimistic. Optimists do not take the events of the universe for granted. Because they know that every moment of the world has method and rule and without the will of God Almighty, not a leaf falls from a tree, and human beings should hope for God's mercy and forgiveness and plan and act happily. In the present study, the question is what are the psychological functions of positive thinking from the perspective of Holy Quran? psychological functions for positive thinking were concluded by studying the meanings of eleven Verse, which include strengthening theism, increasing physical and mental health, foresight and hope, managing emotions, effective communicating, increasing flexibility, increasing forgiveness, greater success, living happily, nobility and meaning of life and family support.

        From the point of view of Fakhr Razi, the source of knowledge is the speaking soul of a human being, which is interpreted as intellect or intellectual faculty, which itself is divided into two practical and theoretical faculties. According to him, theoretical wisdom is superior to practical wisdom, and practical wisdom never reaches the feet of theoretical wisdom. Sheikh Sadouq is both a rationalist and a textualist, although the examination of his works indicates that he does not directly refer to the principles of practical reason and considers it forbidden to enter some topics and areas for reason. And he has taken care of the inherent and intellectual ugliness in the preliminaries of the discussion. According to him, the Qur'an considers human perfection to be unique in theory and practice. This research aims to show Fakhr Razi and Sheikh Sadouq's use of reason in understanding and interpreting religious teachings. Sheikh Sadouq values intellect less than Fakhr Razi in knowing God and His attributes. Sheikh Sadouq considers reason to be an excellent source of knowledge and an important and effective tool for understanding religious issues and defending rational matters. Manuscript profile

This article examines the analysis of the psychological typology of Jafar's character in the novel Qalb al-Lil based on Karen Horne's theory. Hornay as a revisionist specialist in Freudian psychoanalysis; It has either completed or revised the concepts of Freud's theory. Hornay believes that educational and cultural factors play a decisive role in the formation of a person's personality, not biological and congenital factors, and the motivating force of people is the need for security, not sexual desire and aggression. He emphasizes the society and especially the family environment and the way parents interact with the person more than any other factor. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The results of the research indicate that the main hero of the story of Qalb al-Lil, looking at the most important events in Jafar's life, we see that his life has always been accompanied by ups and downs, and many of these events are rooted in the nervous structure of Jafar's personality. The sum total of unnecessary restrictions, pressure and injustice, humiliation of the child and disregard for him causes a state of deep and permanent anger and anxiety to arise in him.

        Poetry turns to be an art in the contemporary era in order to interact with others and society. Contemporary poets are not inconsiderate to their countries and attempt to react for them, propose strategy and talk to society’s elements. Thus many contemporary poets unlike old poets possess dialogical principle and its elements such as reciprocal conversation, vocative phrases, carnival, multilingual and chronotope notably. Mahdi Akhavān-Sāles – Iranian contemporary poet – and Marouf Al Rusafi – Iraqi contemporary poet – are the ones whose poetries are full of social concepts and fought against colonization and exploitation and tried to solve social problems with a dialogical field and conversational process. Therefore the present research attempts to survey dialogical principle by Mikhail Bakhtin in “Sangestan Village” Ode by Akhavān-Sāles and “Poverty & Sickness” Ode by Marouf Al Rusafi comparatively. The results show that the abovementioned odes were created because of social conditions and two poets tried to transfer their experiences by enjoying dialogical principle and using its indicatives in order to have effective and symbolic discourse. Both poets’ emphasis was on dialogical principle by applying vocative, interrogative, exclamatory, imperative, chronotope and carnival phrases. The applied method in the research is descriptive – analytical based on American school of comparative literature. Manuscript profile

        Literature plays various roles, the major function being expressing reality through the forms of the novel and the short story. Naguib Mahfuz, one of the outstanding Arab novelists, has special talents in this respect. He expresses social problems critically. The sexual crisis is one of the plights which is both discussed and challenged in his novels and short stories. He investigated sexual crises, especially among women, socially, philosophically, and psychologically, and considered that problem as political symbolism and not as his main theme. Manuscript profile

        According to the importance of morphological structure in Arabic to understand the meaning of words and phrases, we examine a comparative study of common words to examine the effect of this structure on semantic differences in the Qur'an because differences in meanings in the Holy Qur'an can be the result of this morphological difference. And understanding the general meaning of the phrase or the general meaning of the sentence and phrase at the level of action requires familiarity with morphological structures and its importance is revealed in the shadow of understanding the text of the Qur'an and discovering its rhetorical secrets. Within the subject of the article, we want to understand why the Holy Quran has used a specific morphological structure and in one verse, it has used another morphological structure in another verse, and what is the difference in their relational meaning. This article tries to investigate the difference between the intended meanings according to the morphological structures based on the descriptive-analytical method. Among the results of this discussion are that each morphological structure has a meaning in its heart that other structures don't have it and this indicates the accuracy and clarity in expressing the Qur'anic meanings, and what requires the use of a particular structure is the same communication meaning and effect of rhetoric and aesthetics of phrase.

        The purpose of this article was to explain the relationship between attachment styles and epistemological beliefs with students' empathy, which according to the nature of the research, the research method is descriptive-correlational. The study population includes male and female undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students of the Islamic Azad University of Garmsar in the academic year of 1998-99 with a number of 6000 students, of which 400 students (222 females and 178 males) as Available were selected. The statistical sample completed the Schumer (1990) Epistemological Beliefs Questionnaire, Hezan and Schiver (1987) and Toronto (2009) Empathy Attachment Questionnaires simultaneously. SPSS and Lisrel software were used to analyze the data. Findings showed that attachment has a direct positive relationship with empathy and is able to predict it. Knowledge stability, learning speed and knowledge simplicity are related to the path of avoidant attachment style and are negatively and indirectly related to empathy. Learning speed was mediated by anxiety attachment style and negatively correlated with empathy. The inherent ability and simplicity of knowledge through a secure attachment style were able to predict empathy. Of the only contextual variables, marital status was a good predictor of empathy. Other variables were not able to predict empathy or did not show a strong and significant relationship. According to the results of this research, it can be said; A person's experience of the quality of attachment can predict the growth of epistemological beliefs as well as the extent of his empathetic behavior.

This research, it is an applied research type, and in terms of the nature and method of collecting information, it is a description of the correlation type. The statistical population included female teachers of the first secondary level of Saveh city (260 people), using the Karjesi and Morgan table, the sample size was estimated to be 152 people and they were selected by simple random sampling. Data collection was done using Mezlach's standard job burnout questionnaires, Riff's psychological well-being and Coomb's security-oriented leadership. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to measure the validity of the questionnaires according to previous professors and researchers, and to measure the reliability of the questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha coefficients obtained for the data collection tool were 0.93, 0.71 and 0.87, respectively, which indicate the good reliability of the tools. Also, measuring the validity of the tool (face validity with the approval of experts) shows the usefulness of the tool. SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The data were analyzed with the help of descriptive statistical tests (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression). examining the desired hypothesis, the relationship between the components of security-oriented leadership and psychological well-being with job burnout showed the opposite and meaningful; Therefore, security-oriented leadership and psychological well-being can play an effective role in reducing the level of job burnout of female teachers of the first secondary level in Saveh city, In the meantime, the potential observation and psychological security components of the security-oriented leadership variable played a greater role in reducing job burnout. This research can help education in order to improve the level of psychological well-being of teachers and reduce their job burnout and take steps to improve the quality and job performance of teachers.

        Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are by far the most successful class of reactions leading to high structural diversity and molecular complexity through a single transformation. As part of the ongoing search for pharmacologically active lead structures, the obtained structural diversity allows for the fast exploration of a large chemical space. Not surprisingly, the development of MCRs, leading to new structural frameworks or serving as key transformations in the total synthesis of natural products, has expanded rapidly over the last few decades. To date a multitude of new three- and four-component reactions have already been described; however, examples of ‘‘higher-order’’ MCRs where five or even more components are combined in a single reaction vessel are remarkably scarce. With the growing interest for biologically active small molecules at the end of the 20th century, the application of MCRs to create libraries of such small, drug-like molecules was investigated with a steadily increasing intensity by industry and academia as a result of its superiority over other approaches (i.e. the use of readily available starting materials, inexpensive and easy to carry out chemistry, broad product spectra, high diversity in few steps, ease of automation, etc). This tutorial review aims to critically describe the developments achieved in recent years, charting the ideas, challenges, and milestone reactions that were essential for the progress of this field.

        The extensive use of tellurium oxyanions, such as Tellurite,in various industries such as textile, tanning and plating ,which are highly toxic to microorganisms and eukaryotes , has increased environmental pollution. Potential application of Tellurite oxyanions bioreduction in resistant bacteria in surroundings can be a valuable tool in biotechnology for Biological removing of tellurite from contaminated areas by microorganisms.84 strains of resistant bacteria to tellurite was separated from industry's wastewater. Tellurite resistance activity was evaluated using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)method, concentration 0/1 to26mM potassium tellurite at 34°C for 7 days by the agar dilution method and QWTmb9 was isolated which able to tolerate and reduction very high concentration of 22 mM. This tolerance to tellurite compared with the threshold concentration of other isolated bacteria is remarkable. In order to evaluate strain's Tellurite removal, colorimetric method using a spectrophotometer and DDTC reagent (sodium-diethyl‌dithiocarbamate‌tri-hydrate, A340 nm) was used.The effects of various factors on the optimal growth and tellurite removal were investigated conditions Tellurite concentration, pH, temperature, aeration rate and different concentrations of NaCl. Due to the direct connection to oxyanions resistance and resistance to antibiotics, Antibiogram test was conducted.QWTmb9 isolated from wastewater of blanket textile, which maximum removal rates in 24h is in 0.4 concentrations of Tellurite, temperature 35°C, pH7.5 , 100RPM aeration and 170mM NaCl concentration. This strain is resistant to antibiotics penicillin, ampicillin, rifampin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, neomycin, kanamycin and erythromycin.Gram-negative strains QWTmb9 can be a good candidate for elimination of toxic tellurite in industrial biotechnology.

        Objective: Fast and correct diagnosis of the disease is very important in many cases. In X-ray medical imaging, the doctor treats the patient without accessing the inside of the body's organs. Therefore, the standard conditions must be met so that the benefits of using X-rays are greater than its disadvantages. Since the presence of medical personnel in imaging centers is now a necessity, they are therefore vulnerable due to constant exposure to the dangers of X-rays. Assessing the level of risk requires the definition of effective parameters that are associated with uncertainty. In this regard, the aim of the current research is to evaluate the harm of X-rays in diagnosis and treatment in medicine with the help of fuzzy logic.Materials and methods: In this research, by using the fuzzy method, and with the help of graphic tools of MATLAB software, and determining four input parameters and one suitable output parameter, and by determining the rules by an expert and the Mamdani fuzzy inference system, the harms of X-rays for the referring person and The treatment panel was checked for imaging.Findings: Examining the data of six selected medical imaging centers in different cities of Iran showed that all these centers are in the medium range of vulnerability to the dangers of X-ray radiation.Conclusion: It seems that the Ministry of Health and Medicine should take more, continuous and serious care regarding safety and protection in medical centers. Safety points must be fully observed, otherwise, in the long run, the treatment staff will face problems with X-ray radiation. Manuscript profile

        Background:The main habitat of microalgae is natural or man-made aquatic environments. Microalgae are used in the process of water and wastewater treatment or biomass production that can be used in the production of biodiesel, biofertilizers, supplements and feed for poultry and aquatic animals. Microalgae extraction methods from aqueous medium such as gravitational deposition, centrifugation, filtration and screening, flotation, electrolyte separation and flocculation have been used. Methods: In the flocculation method, different flocculants have been proposed for the deposition of microalgae (sulfate and chloride compounds of metals such as iron, aluminum and zinc, cationic compounds such as cationic starch and biopolymers such as chitosan, etc.). Disadvantages such as the high amount of flocculants required, the production of wastes that need to be re-separated, the low sedimentation efficiency and the high price of flocculants have made the search for cheap. Results:Low-consumption flocculants without the need for re-separation seriously considered by researchers. Factors such as quantity and type Biofluccolants and environmental factors such as temperature, pH, mixing rate play a role in biofluctuation efficiency. Studies show that the isolation of microalgae in the bioflucculation method in some cases increases up to 99%. Conclusion: The present review shows that sedimentary microorganisms such as bacteria, diatoms and specific microalgae can be used as bioflucculants and microalgae can be harvested and isolated for various purposes in an environmentally friendly manner.   Manuscript profile

        Objective: Considering the importance of potato in the economy and human nutrition, the need to produce healthy seeds through tissue culture in order to increase the quality of the tuber and ultimately maintain the yield of the product is noticeable. In this regard, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the morphological and biochemical traits in the seedlings of four early and late potato cultivars under in vitro conditions.Materials and methods: Four commercial varieties of potato were cultivated as single-node microspecimens in MS culture medium without any plant growth regulators. Seedlings grew after 5 weeks. Seedlings were evaluated in terms of morphological traits (number of seedlings produced from one seedling, stem length, number of branches, nodes, roots and micro-gland) as well as biochemical traits (chlorophyll a, b, carotenoid, anthocyanin, catalase enzyme activity and polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity).Findings: In morphological traits, late cultivar Satina, number of seedlings and stem length, and early cultivar Sante showed more roots than other cultivars. In the study of biochemical traits, the late cultivar Agria was superior to other cultivars in terms of the amount of pigments and catalase enzyme.Conclusion: In the same vegetative conditions, different cultivars have different potential in vegetative and biochemical traits. The growth pattern of different genotypes is determined by the synthesis of food and different levels of internal hormones and the balance between them, and as a result, they give different responses to the conditions of the culture environment. The present study showed that in the same vegetative conditions, the early cultivars of Satina in terms of vegetative traits and Agria in terms of the amount of pigments can be selected for mass cultivation.

        Relations between Iran and the United States have undergone tensions and divergences after the Islamic Revolution in Iran. So that perspective of both countries regarding international issues is in contrast with each other. Although each of these two countries, at some points, tried to talk about a number of issues that guaranteed their security and mutual benefits, but many factors interrupted it and prevented detente in bilateral relations between the two countries. Bilateral relations have been established between the two countries. Accordingly, the question is why, despite the direct and indirect contacts and negotiations between the two countries, Iran and the United States have not yet established their bilateral official relations?.Based on the theory of ontological security, it is assumed that the hostility of Iran and the United States due to basic conflict has become common for both countries, and none of these two countries want to unsettle these normal relations and endanger its ontological security by establishing official relations.The findings of this study indicate that, given the continuous lack of official relations and lasting hostility between the parties for many decades and also giving identification basic disputes, ontological security has become very important to them.

        Myths are stories from the ancient times, and pre-historical adventures which still serve a deeper purpose to reflect some truth, and have been transferred from the past to the future generations. Due to culture exchanges, Iranian and Greek nations had similar and common myths in past. That's why champions like Rostam and Esfandiyar in Iran and Hercules in Greece were sacred and have been treated respectfully. Some myths appear in numbers, for instance seven and twelve. In Ferdowsi's Shahnameh it has been referred to Rostam and Esfandiyar's seven labours and these narrations could be related to twelve labours of Hercules. Investigations into mythological labours will reveal cultural similarities of Iran and Greece. There mythological champions including Rostam, Esfandiyar and Hercules had supernatural capacities. These differences and commonalities will reveal the cultural development pattern of these nations to a high extent.  The common characteristic of these three champions is the selection of the road not or less taken instead of the easy one.

        To present a democratic reading of The Qur’an, Derrida introduces it as a book of hospitality and unconditional forgiveness. However, he considers The Prophet (PBUH) an exemption from this rule of hospitality. His reading of The Qur’an has not yet been examined by the scholars. The aim of this study is to investigate the reason for Derrida’s reading of The Qur'an and its separation from The Prophet (PBUH). In this descriptive-analytical- comparative method, the concepts considered by Derrida in the text of The Qur'an are examined and the epistemological status of The Prophet is analyzed on the base of the text itself. In this regard, "ontological" reading of the text of The Qur'an is used, which considers the text independent of the reader and writer. This reading is comparable to Derrida’s “deconstructive” reading since deconstruction emerged from ontological approach. This approach is similar to Allameh Tabatabai’s “Quran to Qur’an” approach which is suitable for Qur’anic studies. To avoid reducing the text of The holy Qur’an to a literary text the findings of the study in compared with the learned exegesis of Ayatollah Javadi Amuli. The findings of this study demonstrates that Derrida has ignored evidences in the text contradicting his reading, and as a result he has found the actions of The Prophet (PBUH) contrary to The Qur’an.

        The foundation of the universe is based on an aura of hidden secrets that makes the seeker face great challenges in the valley of mysticism and leads him step by step in this destination with bright lights lit by the light of knowledge. Undoubtedly, the result of his encounter with the hidden secrets of the universe will be "astonishment". His helplessness and inability in the circle of wandering until he reaches discovery, intuition and revelation, knowledge and destruction will not be achieved, and the seeker is always seeking to increase his astonishment, and the example of this famous saying of the Prophet (PBUH) is that the master of astonishment is the sixth door of mysticism. It will connect the seeker on the turbulent path of love and truth to the essence of infinite truth.Many mystics have spoken about the position of wonder and its role in creating deep thoughts in different ways. In Masnavi, Rumi has a deep and romantic view of wonder, and he does not look at it with the eyes of only one path, but considers it one of the most important paths in the mystical journey to connect with the beloved. In order to reach self-realization and God-realization, one must go through the mysticism of astonishment, and perhaps, in a sense, the thirty lovebirds are astounded by the astonishment that create Simorgh (Simorgh) in the back alleys of the seven cities Manuscript profile

        This article aims at examining the subject of colors in The Shahnameh, enumerating the reasons for the choice of colors used in the pivotal and important banners of this great poem. Violet, red and yellow have the highest frequency in The Shahnameh because the sage poet’s selection of the used colors in the banners has not been random. In other words, pondering over these colors which are pregnant with meanings and beliefs could guide us to know their belief in Ahura Mazda, Mitra, Anahita and other ancient elements and Zoroastrianism. On the other hand, the heroes’ personalities match the colors of their banners. The present paper examines and discusses the color and the inscription of Rostam and Bijan’s banners. This survey not only shows personality dimensions of the heroes psychologically, but also from mythological perspective expresses the relation between that friend and lord Bahram that is representative of power and adoration. Meanwhile, it has been proven that after ages how the collective unconscious of a nation moves and travels to reflect their beliefs in the coming periods through the clear mirror of poetry and literature and to see its lucid reflection in various languages like the repeated story of love. Colors and the psychology of the banners’ colors are expressive of Totem, the unconscious and personal characteristics of a hero in The Shahnameh. This article has employed the method of description and analysis, using the new theories of psychology of colors in The Shahnameh. Manuscript profile

        The sociological criticism of literature is a scientific discipline which initially tries to extract social issues through the literary works by focusing on the content. The  contemporary Hungarian thinker, George Lukacs, made major changes in this discipline. In Lucien Goldmann's genetic structuralism approach, based on Lukacs’s views, the aesthetic techniques of the text in parallel with it’s content are studied and the overall structure of the story and the structures of society that story developed in, correspond to each other. With regard to the fact that intended research field of the present research is social novel, this article is going to deal with the short story in a descriptive-analytical way with genetic structuralism approach and by the case of study of Scattered Memories by Goli Taraghi, and  seeks to explore how society is represented in the imaginary world of a short story collection. The results show that although none of the stories happened at the same time, this book approximately is in line with the events of Iran milieu after the revolution and after the war, in content and form. Moreover, by expressing the consequences of prejudice in the first decade of the revolution and the consequences of modernity in the second decade, it implicitly, invites the audience to pluralism and to avoid luxury.

        Bozorg Alavi is one of the greatest contemporary novelists who has played a significant role in the development of short stories in contemporary literature. In all his stories, he has critically addressed various issues of society. One of Alavi’s short stories is the story of “general amnesty”. In this story, the author depicts the social realities and changes of that time. In this research, an attempt has been made to adapt the issues criticized in this story to Durkheim's sociological theory of punishment. Emile Durkheim thinks about punishment that punishment has the function of integrating society. In his view, when a crime occurs, the values ​​and morals of society are violated. As a result, society feels threatened and reacts. Punishment is the emotional and natural reaction of society to the defect of collective values. In this research, the author intends to study the short story "General Amnesty" by Bozorg Alavi based on Durkheim's sociological theory of punishment in an analytical-descriptive and library method. The results show that although punishments change over time their origins will not change. From this point of view, the change of punishments is, in a way, the adaptation of the punishment to the collective conscience of the time. In fact, as society changes, so does punishment.

        The sociology of literature is the study of literary texts from a sociological point of view that illustrates the relationship between literature and social elements. In fact, this type of analysis examines the interplay between literature and society. A different reading of literary work is a two-way process between author and reader. It is important because literary traditions seek for absolutism of meaning, a one-dimensional view that the modern man does not tolerate, and in some way disgusts the reader. But critiques based on sociology as a new analysis make the reader's mind link to different aspects of the text's aesthetics. To this end, the novel by Isma’il Fasih Del Koor, which covers various prominent periods of Iranian history, including the years of Pahlavi rule and the constitutional revolution(Enghelabe Mashrouteh), has been critiqued sociologically to illustrate the relation of literature to the environment and social classes of that era. In this study, we first outline the theories of critique of sociology of literature and categorize sociological components from Goldmann, Lukacs, Bakhtin, and Escarpit's viewpoints and then apply them to the context of the author's intended community so that we can understand the life style of people, classes Different societies, especially the weak and low-income classes, their occupations, women's social status and their deprivation, historical issues, social infrastructure, lack of health, prevalence of diseases and famines, use of traditional medicine in lieu of up-to-date treatments, social injuries , Poverty, Prostitution, Rape, Violence, Usury, Acid Spraying, Religious Beliefs, Popular Beliefs Yeah, we better understand the superstitions of that era and ...

        The purpose of the present study is to review the effect of psychological capital as a basic competitive advantage in organizations as well as its aspects (hopefulness, optimism, self-efficiency, and resilience) on professional ethics of comptrollers in the administrations of Zanjan province. The statistical population of the research consists of 48 comptrollers in the administrations of Zanjan province. The standard questionnaire of psychological capital prepared by Luthans et al. (2007) was used for data collection and for measuring the variable of professional ethics, a researcher-made questionnaire based on the ethic of professional behavior of the society of Iran’s official accountants as well as the study results of Zārfar (2016) were used. The hypotheses were tested by the modeling method of structural equations and Smart PLS software was applied for data analysis. The research results showed that there is a significantly positive correlation between psychological capital and its aspects and professional ethics of comptrollers in administrations. According to the research results, it can be claimed that reinforcement of psychological capital and its aspects leads to reinforcement of the level of professional ethics among comptrollers. As a result, paying attention to the components of psychological capital and considering them in the planning and management of comptrollers by economic and financial administrations in provinces, especially the ministry of economic affairs and finance can be effective on the betterment of financial supervision of comptrollers.

        In order to evaluate the competition of weeds with Soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivar Katoul along with the comparison of the effects of application of biological and chemical fertilizers separately and simultaneously, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in a field in Ali Abad Katoul was carried out during the 2015-2016. Treatments were included weed management at two levels (weedy check and weed free), the use of bio-fertilizer at four levels (non-usage as control group, seed inoculation by Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteria, seed inoculation by Mycorrhizae fungi (Glomus mosseae) and Co-inoculation of Mycorrhizae and Rhizobium), and the use of nitrogen fertilizer (pure nitrogen from urea fertilizer) at three levels (non-usage as control group, 25 and 50 kg/ha). The results showed that among photosynthetic pigments just chlorophyll a were affected by weed treatment and chlorophyll b and carotenoids were not affected, but all of them affected by biological and chemical treatments. Additionally interaction of weeds and biological fertilizers influenced plant phosphorus content and the highest content of phosphorus (0.48%) was related to weed control treatment and co-inoculation of bacteria and fungi and the least amount (0.19%) was related to weed infested and control group of biological fertilizer. Leaf potassium content was affected by triple interaction of weeds, biological fertilizer and chemical fertilizer. The results of the analysis of variance showed that oil and protein content was affected by weed and biological fertilizer treatments and chemical fertilizer treatment only affects protein content of the seed.

        In order to investigate the changes in cardinal temperatures of wild mustard seed germination during the dormancy elimination, a split plot experiment was conducted as completely randomized design in three replications in the Seed Research Laboratory of Agricultural and Resource University Natural Gorgan in 2017. The main factor was different temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°C) and sub-factor was different concentrations of gibberellic acid (GA: 0, 100, 300, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ppm). A dent-like function was used to describe the response of the germination rate to temperature. For different germination stages, the base temperature decreased from 2.9 to 3.4 °C in GA0 towards -1.2 to -2/0 °C in GA2000; the ceiling temperature was 25 °C at GA0 and increased to 33.3 °C in GA2000; the temperature tolerance range from 21.6 to 22.1 °C in GA0 reached 32.4 to 35.1 °C in GA2000. Due to cardinal temperature changes, the dormancy of wild mustard is a non-deep physiological dormancy type 1. Seeds with dormancy initially have the highest germination at low temperatures, and when they come out of dormancy, they germinate at high temperatures and the temperature range of germination increase. The estimated parameters in the present study can be useful in simulation models of seed bank and for further studies on the biology and ecology of wild mustard. Manuscript profile

The main factor was different temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C) and different periods of chilling (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 days at 5 °C) were assigned as the sub-factor. To describe the response of germination rate to temperature, a dent function was used. For different germination stages, the base temperature decreased from 2.9 to 3.4 °C in control seeds to 1.5 to 1.8 °C in 4 days chilling. Ceilings temperature in control seeds was 25 °C, which increased to 29.9 to 32.9 °C as a result of 6 chilling for 6 days. Due to cardinal temperature changes, the physiological dormancy of wild mustard is of type I. Dormant seeds originally have the highest germination at low temperatures, and they germinate at high temperatures after elimination of dormancy. Also, the germination temperature range increases.

        AbstractThe use of soil fungi such as Fusarium is one of the strategies for controlling and managing parasitic plants. Accordingly, in order to evaluate the pathogenic potential, Fusariumoxysporum was isolated from the stems of infected plants of Phelipancheaegyptiaca and after identification, it was tested in a greenhouse using two treatments inoculated with fungal suspension. F. oxysporum and control treatment (no inoculation) were performed. In the inoculated treatment, fungal suspension with a concentration of 107 × 5 spores per ml, at a rate of 50 ml per pot and in the control treatment, tap water was used. Studied traits were including total number of parasite stems, number of parasite stems removed, number of diseased and dead parasite stems, number of healthy parasite stems, and number of flowering stems, number of parasite stems per plant, stem height of the parasite and the dry weight of Egyptian broomrape and tomato plants. The results of comparing the mean of the two treatments with t-test showed a significant difference in the dry weight of broomrape and tomato so that the mean dry weight of broomrape in the treatment inoculated with F. oxysporum (6 g), compared to the control treatment (16.84 g), was 2.8 times lower. Also, the highest dry weight of tomato (36.43 g) was observed in the inoculated treatment with F. oxysporum, which increased by 44.27% compared to the control with 25.25 g. In the host range test, none of the tested plants showed signs of persistent infection, including permanent wilting and necrosis. In general, the use of this fungus in the biological control of Egyptian broomrape could have an effect on all studied traits, reduce the dry weight of Egyptian broomrape and increase the dry matter of tomato.

        Compared to other agricultural sciences, weed science is a new science, but it has been considered as an old tradition and method. Weeding was one of the first method in weed control, but with the over of time and the invention of agricultural tools, new methods for weed control were introduced and have been more or less used until. However, Today, challenges have been created in this science, the most important of which are the emergence of herbicide-resistant biotypes, reduction of the effectiveness of old herbicides, the lack of weed management methods and the reduction of the introduction of herbicides with new modes of action. In the future, according to the need, it is important to introduce natural compounds as a suitable option to discover a new site of action and produce bio-herbicides. Also, genetic engineering will be considered as another tool for adjusting the selective properties of herbicides and creating new management methods. Computer science and robotic, which include electronic eyes, sensors for distinguishing crops from weeds, and other tools related to engineering sciences, are also important and needed in weed management that are being developed and processed. Also, combining old methods with new tools can be considered as a suitable option for sustainable management of weeds. Manuscript profile

        In the second half of the 20 century Martin Seligman, American psychologist, proposed a new look to psychology. In his new approach, the psychologists focus on the half full part of the glass instead of its half empty part and illuminate dark points of the mind and psych by developing available capabilities of individuals. In this approach optimism is of two kinds: innate and explanatory. In innate optimism individual sees every future thing optimistic and justifies them for the sake of escape. But in explanatory optimism the individual ascribes the success to inner mental forces and causes. Knowing this psychological approach, the writers of this article led to search this outlook in Arabic poetic literature in order to deal with optimism in Motenabbi's panegyrics from Seligman psychological viewpoints in an interdisciplinary format and with the hypothesis that Motenabbi enjoyed an optimistic outlook in his poems. In this way the above mentioned hypothesis is solved by library studies and data gathering and the question of optimism in Motenabbi's panegyrics is answered from Seligman psychologic approach and ultimately the article reaches to two inate and explanatory optimism in Motenabbi's Divān (collected poems) Manuscript profile

        Arabic loanwords are subjected to changes including phonological changes, in Persian language. Are changes of Arabic loanwords in Persian rule-governed? Are these changes subject to phonological rules? In the present article, types of phonological changes in Arabic loanwords are studied according to Generative Phonological Theory of Chomsky and Hale known as SPE which has revised constantly by generative linguists. Generative phonology is a part of Generative Grammar that assigns appropriate phonological representations to speeches in a way as if they are reflections of embedded grammar of vernacular speakers. The most important constituents of this theory are: layers of phonological representation; phonological rules; derivations; distinctive and linear features. The article follows an analytic-descriptive method. In the first place looks, as a necessary background, to phonological structure of Arabic and Persian. Then, studies types of phonological changes in Arabic loanwords: assimilation, dissimilation, deletion, metathesis, compensatory lengthening together with examples in each case. Consequently, this study shows that Persian speakers as speakers of other languages, make mostly phonological changes in Arabic loanwords in order to become consistent to Persian phonological system.

        Recent psychological studies define the phenomenon of narcissism as an excessive feeling of self-aggrandizement and self-esteem. This definition is provided by Otto Kernberg, a contemporary psychologist, is the basis for recognition narcissist personality. He introduces a clear definition of disturbed narcissist character in the light of eleven clear attributes, including inclination to show one's pride, strength and fame and preference of his/her parents and family over others and complaint of enviouses. Therefore, this article deals with narcissism according to Otto Kernberg psychological views and by use of a psychological method to disclose narcissism phenomenon and its consequences in the poems of Abu al-a'lā al-Maʽrrī, the famous Abbasid poet. We can observe the manifestations of narcissism in most of the poet's poetry, but his pride in his famous book entitled Saqṭ al-zand (The Tinder Spark), is almost a pure and sincere mirror that reflects the narcissism of the poet and its echoes. We tried to shed light on the most important reasons and factors of the emergence of this psychological phenomenon in the poet. Therefore, he can be considered a narcissistic figure, according to the psychological analyst Kernberg. One of the most important consequences of the narcissism phenomenon in the poet's character is that he is passionate about himself and his poetry and exaggerates his self-esteem and favored himself and his people over all the sons of his race.

        Archetypal criticism of Jung is one of the most important contemporary literary criticisms. Archetypes were first presented by Carl Gustav Jung, with reliance on the research in the fields of psychology, anthropology, religion, and history of civilizations. Jung defines archetypes as the universal mental images existing within the individual and collective sub-conscience and named their representations as the myth. The novel 'adrakha al-nessian' (Overtaken by Oblivion) is written using postmodern techniques and includes literary techniques such as: stream of consciousness, impressionism, and traveling in time. This novel narrates the story of a young red hair and red face girl, who has been raised in a nursery from the very beginning. As the story progresses, she faces many problems and, in the end, the author depicts her at the age of 60. By reading this story, we notice the obvious presence of many psychological aspects. Al-Sha'lan's works have always been included within the list of best literary works in both national and international ceremonies, and we can also witness the existence of archetypes within this novel. This paper, using the descriptive-analytic method and the psychological criticism approach, tends to examine the archetypes effective in the mentioned novel. As the results demonstrate, archetypes such as: Anima, the old sage, and self, have affected the flow of occurrences in this novel, helping to create the proper form and theme of narration.

The present study intends to analyze the personality of “Mena”- the narrator and protagonist present in a novel called “The Birds of September” written by Emili Nasrallah- a prominent Lebanese Writer. The novel narrates the failure and rejection of women of the Lebanese rural community including Mena and feeling inferiority, anonymity, and loneliness among them. Based on the Descriptive-Analytical method and within Adler's Individual psychological framework, this research aims to study the main feature of this theory, namely “Inferiority Complex”- and what reasons made her Mena's personality as well as the reflection of this feeling in her behaviors and compensation mechanism. Findings suggest that social environment and strict customs especially the dominant view of the father, the failure of love, and poverty have caused a feeling of inferiority in Mena. To overcome such feelings, she resorts to imaginary and incorrect methods such as using imagination and escaping from the reality of society and family which finally result in regretting, disappointing, and experiencing a sense of anonymity Manuscript profile

          Abundance of skillful Poetesses in ode writing is one of the features of literature history during Andulus era. Hence, a great deal of Andalusian poems appertain to poetesses; The poems are of features like delicacy, accuracy, elegance and development. This is clear that the basic characteristics of such poetic experience is derived from poetess's skill in representing ancient meanings with a modern method that differs from dominant meanings in traditional poems. Also nature of Andalusian land has led the poetess to use its clear and sensible elements in her poem. When the poetess sonnetizes, she clarifies her captivation and all great meanings which is considered as a female's nature. In addition, she intensively wishes in her poetic experience to make her poem distinct and different from others, far from her rivals' eyes and just with her own delight and enthusiasm. The present article introduces sonnets of Andalusian poetesses as a mirror of their psychological attitudes as well as including textual features derived from imagination which has in fact psychological origin based on modern psychological criticism in addition to studying Andalusian women's poetic approach with emphasis on poetesses like Bothayneh Bint  AlMutamid, Zeynab Almerieh, Qamar Jarieh Ibrahim, Uom Al'ala Albint Yousuf, Veladeh Albint Almostakfi. This study also clarifies that poems of Andalusian poetesses with chastely love have psychological characteristics like pain of Love, nostalgia, lack of will, Nirvana, masochism. In contrast, permissible lyric poems are with features like sexuality, affront and precision.  Manuscript profile

        Sonnet "Afif" found existence during Abbasid period, in spite of presence of Sufi poets and on top of them Mohammad Davood Esfahani known as Zaheri who went beyond physical sensation and lived with a pure and holy love. This sonnet was the result of unaffected Islamic education in which religious teachings immingled with human spirit which resulted in  chastity and virtue. Among most important features of this sonnet is "Nirfana" which had great influence on Arabic poetry progress because it created a distinct poetic purpose and in addition to maintaining classic poetic methods it was influenced by Islamic civilization and other cultures of that time.    The  aim of this study is to reveal some characteristics of spiritual nurturing being common among Buda, Sufi and importance of mystic life and its position in these two religions and to discover scientific methods and tools to accommodate it with keeping away from sensual desires and moving toward divine essence as well as investigating Nirfana's thought in the sonnet "Afif". Death, pain, lack of will, inner tension, and masochism are some of its most important elements. Therefore, exact investigating of this poet's poems will reveal its technical value and chaste approach in studying this distinct poetic aspect.  Manuscript profile

        The formation and creation of every work of art is influenced by social milieu. The sociological criticism is an attempt to reveal the relationship between society and literature. The science of sociology started  during nineteenth century and great authors such as Madame  de Stael, Hippolyte  Taine,  and great philosophers and thinkers such as Marx, and Hegel developed it more comprehensively. Undoubtedly novels and stories are influenced by social conditions and the society is also influenced by these works. Thus there is a mutual relationship between a literary work and society. Naguib Mahfouz is one of the authors who has paid attention to different social aspects. This paper which approaches his works based on  sociological criticism –with a close look at Children of Gebelawi- tries to deal with social problems and shows that his  works have affected the improvement of the Egyptian society.

        In today's electronic and digital world, increasing demand for portable systems has led the electronics industry and chip design technology to reduce power consumption methods, and therefore power consumption has become an important criterion in this field. Also, increasing the speed of chips and reducing the propagation delay of circuits has always been an important goal of digital design engineers. Since the Adder element is one of the important elements in many digital systems, so today various Adders with different technologies and design approaches have been proposed, each of which has certain advantages and disadvantages. This paper presents a low-power single-bit full-adder cell design that is based on pass-transistor logic.This circuit is used in the arithmetic logic units of digital signal processors and also in several electronic and digital communication systems that operate within the frequency range of in 1GHz. The proposed cell exploits the pass transistor techniques and XOR-XOR structures to improve the design parameters namely power consumption, propagation delay, power–delay product, and the number of transistors. The proposed circuit is designed using 180nm CMOS technology and the simulation results show that for a supply voltage of 1.8V, the power consumption, delay, and power–delay product have been achieved as 83 W, 89ps, and 7fJ respectively.

        This paper proposes a new approximate full adder (FA) based on the majority logic (ML) concept. The fundamental structure of the ML concept is a 3-input majority voter and is widely utilized in digital arithmetic cells. The ML-based proposed FA works at low power, small delay, and low power-delay-product (PDP). The carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET) technology lowers the FA power, while the gate diffusion input (GDI) technique is used as the main technique. The swing issue of the GDI technique is resolved by the dynamic threshold (DT) technique. Compared with its exact circuit, the proposed FA saves 2 majority gates, 3 inverters, and a 4.02 ns delay. In the proposed FA, the PDP is improved by 53.73%. The product of the PDP and the normalized mean error distance (NMED) is called PDPE, and in the presented FA, it is reduced by 9.50%. Moreover, the proposed FA is embedded into a multiplier-less discrete cosine transform (DCT) design, which is an appropriate circuit for very large-scale integration (VLSI) systems. The 8-input DCT architecture consumed 2.2321 mW of power for each DCT operation. Also, the circuit has better performance in terms of PDP-area-product (PDAP). The results of DCT implementations confirm the efficiency of the FA. Manuscript profile

        In this research adsorption of formaldehyde on the external surface heterofullerene C58BN has been studied by means of density functional theory using the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Total electronic energies have been corrected by addition of two gCP and D3 correction terms. Adsorption of formaldehyde via the bonding of oxygen atom to boron and carbon atom to nitrogen leads to the delocalization of oxygen lone pairs to the empty orbital of boron atom, formation of a strong covalent bond and consequently stability of system. Topological parameters based on the AIM theory, density of state spectrums, and the maps of molecular electrostatic potentials indicated that the adsorption of formaldehyde on the studied positions are covalent in nature.

        The main logic characters are birds, birds and birds that the poet used to determine their personality from their mythological and tactile role. The intrinsic personality of most birds is based on two bases of disability and pride, which appear in their speech and deeds as a self-righteous manifestation. The disappointment of the peacock and pride is the same, since the peacock does not behave with Adam, which led to the expulsion of Adam and Peacocks from Paradise, and also that he is shadowed by the King of the Paradise. Therefore, the birds and their leader in their statements describe their character. The existential dimensions of the characters are revealed by the expression of their actions. One of the phenomena that affects some characters in the story is recognizing and transforming. According to the results of this research, Attar has benefited from the mystical experience appropriate to the existential capacities of individuals and groups in the treatment of people's mental anomalies in their turbulent society. And how to perfect the types of individuals, to It has explained the characteristics of their common personality traits and obstacles. Attar in this mystical and therapeutic proposal, in addition to explaining the ancient perfection and individual health, by shoving the shadow and passing Anima, involves the elimination of conventional emoticons. Ultimately, the extraterritorial and intrinsic characteristics of individuals in such a myth-e-old-story and epistemic experience are imminent. Manuscript profile

        “Myth” doesn’t have any minute, comprehensive and complete definitions. The scholars have provided different definitions for that. Because in the past, writing wasn’t common and the myths and stories have quoted by fathers for their children. Myth refers to historical stories and adventures of ancient and pre-historical times. From old times till now, myth had a particular place in people’s mind and language and people have believed that owning myths will be an approval for their power and supremacy over their neighbors and competitors. In Shahnameh and myths the symbolic and allegorical role of many creatures possesses sense and exposed will. These creatures are the same as human beings regarding their creation; but what makes them different is their appearance. In myths, specially Shahnameh, Rakhsh Simurgh, dragons, and soon have personality appearance; it means the braves. Can speak to them. They sometimes, show the way to the braves and sometimes prevent them from going along. Fersowsi has created the most beautiful imagery in Shahnameh by using personification and allegory.

Several studies have reported its importance as a diuretic, antiasthmatic, antipsoriasis, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, vasodilator, and smooth muscle relaxant. These promising and valuable pharmacological effects result from a variety of important natural compounds constituting groups in the plant structure, e.g., γ-pyrones, coumarins, chromones, polyphenols, alkaloids, reducing compounds, cardiac glycosides, catechols, sterols, terpenes, quinones, mucilage, essential oil, C-heterosides, and O-heterosides. Within this framework, the current review was prepared for the first time to cover the phytochemical constituents and various pharmacological and therapeutic impacts of A. visnaga (L.) Lam., aiming to enrich Moroccan traditional knowledge.  Manuscript profile

         The aim of the present study was to compare the brain- behavior systems, psychological hardiness and ambiguity tolerance in substance abusers and normal people. The study was a causal comparative research. Statistical population included all drug users in 2011 (1391s.c.) in the city of Urmia. 50 people were selected through cluster sampling from five drug rehabilitation centers in Urmia and 50 normal participants were matched with them. Data were collected with the Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire (GWPQ, 1989), Kubasa Personal Perspectives Survey Questionnaire (1970), and the Scale of Ambiguity Tolerance (Lin, 1993). Data were analyzed through multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Analysis of data showed that there were significant differences in brain behavioral systems, hardiness and ambiguity tolerance between substance abusers and normal group (P < 0.001). Substance abusers, scores in the behavioral inhibition system subscale, hardiness and ambiguity tolerance, were lower than the normal group but their scores in behavioral approach system were higher than the normal group.

          The present study was carried out in order to predict psychological well-being via resiliency and test the mediating role of optimism in the relationship between psychological well-being and resilience. To this end, a sample of 414 students of medicine (213 boys and 191 girls) was selected through multistage cluster sampling. They were asked to Complete Resiliency Scale (Connor & Davidsons, 2003), Optimism Scale (Scheier and Carver, 1995) and Well-being Scale (Ryff, 1989). The results indicated that resilience can predict psychological well-being. The results showed that correlation of optimism with predictive variable (resilience) is positive and significant (P < 0.01, r=0.38) and with the criterion variable (psychological well-being) is also positive and significant (P < 0.01, r= 0.45). According to the results of hierarchical regression, it may be concluded that optimism plays a partial mediating (and not full) role in the relationship between resiliency and psychological well-being. Based on the findings it can be said that part of the effect of resiliency on, psychological well-being could be applied through optimism. The findings showed that regardless of the level of resilience, optimism can, to some extent, facilitate psychological well-being. All correlations were significant in the level of 0.01.

The purpose of this study was to present a model to investigate the impact of emerging adulthood components on psychological well-being of youth mediated by self-concept. This study was a descriptive study with a correlation design in the framework of causal models. 395 participants (51% male) in the age range of 18 to 25 years were randomly selected from the educational centers of Ahvaz (In the 98-99 academic year). Participants responded online to Arnett Inventory of Dimensions of Emerging Adulthood (Reifman, Arnett, &amp; Colwell, 2007), Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale (Ryff, 1989), and Beck Self-Concept Test (Beck, Steer, Epstein, &amp; Brown, 1990). Path analysis method was used to analyze the results. The results showed the average self-concept and above-average scores psychological well-being. The results confirmed the strong significant positive direct impact of emerging adulthood components on self-concept (Identity Exploration: 0/272; Possibilities: 0/210; Instability: 0/318; Focus on others: 0/245; Self-focus: 0/230; Feeling in-between: 0/213), as well as self-concept on psychological well-being 0/799 (p&lt;0.01). Also, instability 0/247 (p&lt;0.01), identity exploration 0/217 (p&lt;0.05) and possibilities 0/205 (p&lt;0.05) are impacted on psychological well-being by mediating self-concept. The results showed that individuals experiencing emerging adulthood had a better psychological well-being, due to their improved self-concept. Manuscript profile

        Classic statistical evaluation models are generally absolute and therefore make it difficult to achieve reliable results. One reason for this is that the sources used, inherently, contain inaccurate information and make the conditions difficult for a valid evaluation. In this study, using fuzzy inference, educational evaluation of professors was conducted. Due to the uncertain nature of the fuzzy theory, it is possible to analyze and evaluate information more precisely. The standard questionnaire of Islamic Azad University was distributed among 105 students to evaluate teachers. Then, the priority of each survey question was determined by interviewing some professors. The weighting effect of each professor's experience in response to each question priority and, also, the number of assessors' parameter in their evaluation system were considered. Mamdani type fuzzy inference system was chosen which receives two input fuzzy and provides the desired output based on fuzzy rule base. Finally, using three methods for evaluation including classic evaluation, evaluation with the expected value and fuzzy evaluation, have shown that the rating of teachers using fuzzy logic could be closer to reality.

        The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction and achievement motivation with students&rsquo; academic achievement. Through correlation study of structural equation modeling selected 248 students in the first grade of secondary schools in Asadabad city by using cluster multiple stage sampling. To check tools validity, used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and to ensure reliability used Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The coefficient reliability of psychological basic needs questionnaire was 0.77 and for academic achievement motivation was 0.78. Results show that the model has goodness of fit with data. Direct effects of amotivation on academic achievement, autonomy on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and competence on the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation was significant. Total effect of competence on academic achievement was significant. Based on the developed model, psychological basic needs, and academic achievement motivation could have explain 33 percent of the variance of academic achievement. Therefor, it can be concluded that achievement motivation (amotivation) has mediating role between psychological basic needs, and academic achievement. Manuscript profile

        This study was conducted with the aim of Comparison of school anxiety and its components on the fourth-grade students of elementary schools in both traditional and descriptive evaluation systems. For this purpose, 400 students (boy & girl) have been selected. 200 of them received descriptive evaluation and the other 200 received traditional evaluation. They were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. The Philips school anxiety questionnaire was used in order to compare the school anxiety. The collected information was analyzed in descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that there were no differences in school anxiety and its components between the two mentioned groups (p >  0.05). There was a difference between girls and boys in the test of anxiety and the girls showed more anxiety (p < 0.05). There was a difference between both of descriptive and traditional evaluation systems among the boy students in the test (p = 0.01) and school anxiety (p < 0.05). The students who received traditional evaluation showed more anxiety. There was a difference between boy and girl students in descriptive evaluation in the test of anxiety and the girls showed more anxiety (p < 0.01). Therefore, based on the result, it can be concluded that the descriptive evaluation is more useful for the boys and it can reduce the amount of school anxiety in them. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was analyzing the relationships of psychological capital (PsyCap) with achievement goals and academic performance of the first-year university students of Islamic Azad University in Masjed Soleiman and Ahwaz branches. The participants were consisted of 520 students (262 males and 258 females) who were selected by using the stratified random sampling method. The used instruments in the present study were consisted of Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (ADSH), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), Resiliency Scale (RS), and Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) in order to assess each of the four factors of making up psychological capital. The Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS) and Andrew Achievement Goals Scale were used to measure the achievement goals. The average of student's final scores in that semester was used to measure the academic performance. For analyzing the data, the confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression methods were applied. The results showed that psychological capital and its four components with mastery-approach and performance-approach goals, and also academic performance had a meaningful positive relationship. Moreover, psychological capital and its four components had negative relationship with performance avoidance goal. Achievement goals had meaningful relationship with academic performance as well. In addition, the combination of the four variables of hope, optimism, resiliency and self-efficacy with respect to higher order construction of psychological capital can predict the mastery- approach goal and academic performance of the students more effectively.

        Recently, epistemological relativism has been mentioned in philosophical thinking as an effective thinking movement. It has also been entered in other fields like education, too. The purpose of this research was to study about the role of epistemological relativism in education. The research questions included: 1- what dose epistemological relativism mean? 2- How dose epistemological relativism affect on the education fundamentals (the purpose of education, learning content and teaching methods)? Based on the epistemological relativism, it was concluded that there was no concrete and understandable standard for rationality and no criterion could distinguish honesty from dishonesty. In the education process, the epistemological relativism is discussed as a constructive view. Therefore, based on the purpose of education more emphasis should be on fostering critical thinking and deep thinking. Also, content of the textbooks should have the capability of being changed or reviewed. The epistemological relativism emphasizes on an indirect or student- centered education. Once applying the found results, it is expected that so many problems in the field of education to be tackled and acceptable educational outcomes to be gained. Manuscript profile

The research was qualitative in terms of the nature of the data and in terms of the type of analytical-documentary research method. The research sample in Giro's critical curriculum, books and articles published by Giroux during the years 1979 to 2018 and in the foundations of Islamic education were original researches in this field that were purposefully selected and analyzed by qualitative content analysis method. In this research, Giroux most important ideas in the essential elements of the curriculum, including goals (raising a democratic and Liberating citizen, hearing and paying attention to other voices, abandoning elitism and paying attention to public culture, eliminating racial discrimination and defending the rights of the oppressed, and Different groups of society, creation of a democratic and egalitarian society), content (attention to social and cultural conditions, relativity of knowledge and knowledge, reliance on social values, consideration of contexts, institutions and social structures), teaching-learning methods (discourse-oriented) and Evaluation (observation, interview, reporting, research, self-evaluation, narration) was analyzed. Despite the strengths of Giroux critical curriculum, including the emphasis on educational justice and attention to marginalized groups, in this perspective, there are also inconsistencies and challenges that are criticized in the system of philosophy of Islamic education. One of these criticisms can be the lack of goals based on metaphysical assumptions, the neglect of different areas of education in targeting (high emphasis on political goals), relativism in content, extreme pluralism in content (lack of attention to unity Slowness in the instruments of cognition, pure discourse in teaching methods, ignoring teacher's authoritarianism in teaching, the difficulty of interpreting the results in the evaluation.

This research was done with mixed method approach and with exploratory design. In qualitative phase of research 15 Entrepreneur engineer students were selected based on criteria oriented sampling and participated on semi structured interview and data were analyzed by seven keluize stages. Interview questions were designed around the dimensions of technology literacy and its relationship with entrepreneurship. To ensure the validity of the questions, the opinions of seven experts were used. To ensure the quality of data analysis, the findings were referred back to the interviewees after re-analysis to avoid possible deviations. Findings from the interviews indicated that technology entrepreneurs have a deep understanding of the nature, design, production, application and relationship of technology to society. In order to developing data based on stratified random sampling. 200 last semester engineer students were selected. Seraji and khavari(2015) technological literacy questioner and (2009) Li&ntilde;&aacute;n &amp; Chen (2009) Entrepreneurial intention questioner with appropriate reliability were used for data gathering. The data were analyzed using pearson correlation and multiple regression. Findings indicted that entrepreneur engineer students have a appropriate understanding of the relevance of technological literacy and entrepreneurship. There is a correlation between students' technological literacy and the entrepreneurial intention in engineer students. The regression results showed that between dimensions of technological literacy, understanding nature of technology and relevance of technologies with the world around can explain 19/7 present of the variance of change in entrepreneurial intention in engineer students. In order to develop the entrepreneurial competencies in students, we propose to develop students&rsquo; technological skill in design and implementation of curriculum stages. Manuscript profile

The research method used was content analysis analysis The population of this study is 15 main titles of the national curriculum document that were coded using the content checklist tool. The unit of analysis was the text (paragraph). For this purpose, first the educational needs were identified through the study of theoretical foundations and categorized into three areas using the Delphi technique, then the content of the national curriculum document was analyzed and critiqued based on these needs The results of theا study indicate the relative attention of the document to educational needs. So that the field of "learning experiences", "principles of curriculum supervision", "philosophical and practical foundations" and "perspectives" focus directly and appropriately on the ecological components; And the principles of the "teaching and learning" process pay less attention to this issue. The rest of the paragraphs also implicitly and generally refer to the use of this approach. In the second part, a total of 6 criticisms were deduced, the result of which can be generalized to the text of the document on sociological foundations, not introducing a special executive program for nomadic education according to the existing natural capacities and less attention to some components of the document Indigenous knowledge approaches pointed out.

        Degradation model is a method for environmental impact assessment and it has been widely applied for accumulative impact assessment of human activities. In addition, landscape indicators have been widely used in landscape planning as quantitative tools. One important application of landscape metrics is their contribution to landscape degradation model. The goal of this research was to assess landscape degradation in Jajrood protected area. In doing so, landscape indicators were calculated using a land use/cover map of Jajrood protected area for 16 sub basins. For land use/cover mapping, Landsat satellite image was firstly pre-processed, and then, hybrid classification approach was undertaken to categorize the image into different land use/cover categories. According to landscape degradation model, ecological vulnerability and the severity of activities as well as the degradation degree were calculated for the targeted landscape. The results of this research indicated that sub basin 5 with a value of 31 had the highest level of landscape degradation and sub basins 1, 13 and 15 with values 25, 25 and 22, respectively, were on the next orders in Jajrood protected area. In addition, sub basins 16, 7 and 4 with values 3.5, 3.25 and 3.25, respectively, were least degraded and these sub basins had the least level of fragmentation. The results show that 68% of the area was outlined to be potential for development or further development, only 17% of the area is suitable for protection. Approximately 13% of the area should be considered for rehabilitation that demonstrated natural land cover change and degradation in the protected area. Manuscript profile

        Geomorphological landscapes are the foundations of natural resources investigations of the watersheds. Because these landscapes are affected by many factors such as climate, soil, hydrology, ecology, geology and so on. In this survey, Sabzevar region with diverse geomorphological processes from mountain to play is selected in order to be identified and classified using RS and GIS. For this purpose, a combination of both overlaying and photomorphic units visual interpretation methods was used. In the overlaying method, slope, elevation and geological maps were prepared and classified. In visual interpretation, the TM 5 sensor satellite images were used. After preprocessing of images, the PCA, OIF index, FCC, HS, NDVI index techniques was used to separate photomorphic units with the aid of the Google Earth. Finally, 4 units, 10 types, and 96 facies (in 261 replications) were separated. Statistical analysis using Chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference at the 99% level among the area of desertification units, types, and facies the confirming suitable spatial separation of the area. Pediment unit (50.97%), lower pediment type (25.97%) and alluvial fan facies with tunnel erosion (375.43ha) had the highest spatial distribution in Sabzevar region. Finally, it can be concluded that the overlaying method is not suitable for deserts and using a combination of visual interpretation method can fix this defect and increase the accuracy of the output map. The mentioned map can be used for development and implementation of land capability, natural resources and combating desertification projects. Manuscript profile

        Evaluation of the ecological capability of the land is an intermediate stage of the land planning process, which the most appropriate land uses are determined for an area. So these studies which require investigation in locations from different perspectives are necessary for sustainable development. The purpose of this study was to determine the capability and suitability of lands for agricultural and rangeland uses and also to determine the area of unauthorized land uses of the Aqujan watershed of Qazvin province. The maps of the ecological resources of the watershed (including precipitation, elevation, slope, land units (soil depth and texture), vegetation, and erosion) were prepared and crossing in a GIS environment, the homogeneous environmental map units (work units&rsquo; map) were obtained. The ecological potential of watershed lands was determined by comparing the characteristics of ecological homogeneous units with the ecological model of agricultural and rangelands. Finally, the area of unauthorized land uses was determined using overlaying the current land use map and the land use map derived from ecological capability. The results showed that 3188 ha (44%) of the area is occupied by unauthorized land uses. The contributions of unauthorized livestock and range management, irrigated orchards and cultivations, and dry farming land uses were 2569 ha (34.9%), 211 ha (2.8%) and 408 ha (5.5%), respectively. The results of this study showed that there is a big difference between the proper and current land uses in the Aqujan watershed, which indicates the degree of deviation from the principles of sustainable development.

        Lithological studies and geological units' mapping are generally applicable to the many fields of natural resources management. Satellite remote sensing images have been widely used for separating of geological units which can generate accurate results, as well as time and cost saving. This research aims at comparing the performance of different enhancement techniques in order to separate four geological units in the study area of Taft watershed, Yazd. In this study, Landsat 8 satellite images (OLI sensor) were used, analyzed and classified. Geological maps were also up to dated using google earth images. A comparison of the results of the satellites classified images and base geological maps, indicates the Kappa coefficient and overall accuracy of the classified supervised maps of the ration of b7/b5 have the highest values of 0.78 and 86.7%, respectively. To verify the accuracy of the comparison results, QQ plots were used to compare the percentage of areas. Comparing the percentage of areas, the oblique angle of the b7/b5 bands ratio was lower (i.e. better) than the other different ratio combinations. Finally, the values of accuracy assessment for the reflection of lithological units in the observation and estimation range of supervised classification map of the ratio bands of the b7/b5 in the geological units Ks, gd, Kt-1, and Qal were 0.993, 0.980, 0.948, and 0.985, respectively, indicates that the b7/b5 band ratio separate four different geological units of the study area more precisely, and easily than the other classification methods.

        In order to create sustainable development in the tourism industry, the proper understanding of environmental potentials and its sensitivity to human activities is very important. This study has identified and prioritized the potential of ecotourism sites in the Kojur basin of Mazandaran province. Physiographies criteria, including slope, direction, and elevation, as well as criteria of distance from road, river, village, sliding locations and canopy percent, were selected as the appropriate index. The criteria were evaluated and fuzzy by the experts and Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Subsequently, using the Ordered weighted average (OWA) scenarios, the appropriate ecotourism site was selected. To reduce risk and increase managerial power, Boolean logic was used. The results showed that the landslide and the roads had a maximum value of 0.315 and 0.238, respectively. The output maps of the OWA scenarios have shown that the northeastern range of the cougar basin is the most optimal location for the establishment of the ecotourism site, and the northern region was ranked next. In the scenario of the low-risk level and non-compensated, and low-risk level and low compensation scenario, 83 hectares of land were recognized for the appropriate ecotourism site. While, average risk and complete compensation, high risk and low compensation, average risk and non-compensation and high risk and no compensation, were 3179, 1255, 1909, and 2577 hectares respectively for ecotourism sites. The Boolean logic output showed that about 47 hectares of northeastern lands of Kojour basin are an appropriate ecotourism site. Manuscript profile

        Sistan and Baluchestan provinces, including the coastal cities of Chabahar and Konarak, have long been exposed to natural hazards, including floods. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the flooded areas and determine the location and extent of the areas that have suffered the most flood damage in January 2017 in Chabahar and Konarak counties. Due to climate change such as heavy rainfall and using Sentinel-1 satellite images in the two time periods before and after the accident, based on the analysis and processing of images in SNAP software, the Sigma zero scattering coefficient of both images was extracted and divided into two levels of water and others. The water was separated and the threshold of 0.01 was obtained. Using the algebraic algorithm of water and non-water binary images in the form of zero and one and based on the difference between the two images, the flooded area was identified. The flooded areas were then classified using a random forest algorithm with a kappa coefficient of 0.91. Indicates the high accuracy of the classification. After preparing the map of flooded areas to locate safe points of value in Expert choice software based on the studied criteria which include (river area, structure, direction, width of communication network, and slope of the study area) and using fuzzy logic of 0.9 gammas in the environment Arc GIS10.6 software is discussed. The obtained results have determined the area of nearly 426.46 square kilometers of areas affected by floods, which have the most damage and destruction of urban and rural land use, agriculture and animal husbandry and blocking the communication routes of most villages, as well as mapping safe areas for air, sea and land services.

        &nbsp; integrationthe action of incorporating a racial or religious group into a communityMore (Definitions, Synonyms, Translation) Background and ObjectiveVolcanic Mount Damavand has unique landscapes and special geomorphological phenomena, wildlife diversity, vegetation, and unique climatic conditions and is one of the most important tourist destinations in Mazandaran province. Therefore, the protection of these unique reserves, especially geological phenomena that are the result of millions of year&rsquo;s global evolution in this region, is important. Therefore, comprehensive national and international planning based on the principles of sustainable development is essential for the continuation of this world heritage. By using valuable tools such as GIS, it is possible to identify prone areas to geotourism development for sustainable development in the region and then apply the evaluation and optimal management. In addition to scientific values, geocomposites have many conservation, cultural, aesthetic, social and economic values. For the comprehensive management of watersheds, it is necessary to consider all the natural and human aspects affecting geotourism. In this study, in order to identify the potential of geotourism, an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been used with the GIS. Materials and Methods Mount Damavand with a height of 5672 meters is located in northern Iran. It is the highest peak in Iran and the Middle East, as well as the highest semi-active volcanic peak in Asia. Damavand is a stratified and semi-active volcanic mountain that was mainly formed during the fourth geological period called the Quaternary and Holocene eras. From the point of view of country divisions, it is located in Amol city of Mazandaran province. Its altitude is 5672 meters above sea level, the average annual rainfall is 540 mm and it is mainly in the form of snow. The climate of this part of the basin is semi-humid climate according to the Koppen method and cold semi-humid climate according to the Ambrege method. In order to determine the effective indices in identifying the potential areas for geotourism development, the study of criteria is divided into two categories of effective criteria and restrictive development. Layers of development obstacles include; rivers and main roads, side roads and inter-rural roads. The effective layers studied along with the relative weight obtained from the analysis of the questionnaire were considered to superimpose the layers with a specific weight for each layer. The results of completing the questionnaire by the audience, to determine the relative weight, information layers were formed in the GIS environment. In this study, using geographic information system (GIS) tools and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, the weighting of effective criteria susceptible areas with geotourism development capability within a radius of 20 km of mount Damavand were performed. Results and Discussion The criteria inconsistency rate is less than 0.1, there is no need to reconsider the judgments. According to the final results obtained from overlaying effective layers in the development of geotourism by the Weighted Overlay function in GIS software, the study area with an area of 1256 square kilometres, after subtracting the restrictive areas, is divided into five classes; very inappropriate, unsuitable, medium, suitable and very suitable. The results showed, that the regions were classified into 5 categories: very inappropriate (1.34%), unsuitable (19.11%), medium (56.44%), suitable (20.94%) and very suitable (2.16%). then, after the field visit, 40 Alternatives were identified and examined in terms of the importance of development potential in the region. Evaluation of 40 Alternatives shows that 25, 40 and 35% of the alternatives have very good, appropriate and average potential, respectively. The results show that most of the susceptible areas with geotourism development capability, are located in the east and southeast of Mount Damavand. This can be caused by the density of various facilities, including villages, cities, roads and rivers, and so on. The high potential areas are more in the north, centre to the southeast of the protected area that has vegetation and forest, water resources and high geomorphological values and low potential areas are more in South and west is the range. This can be seen in the present study. Also, most of the area has medium to high potential, which indicates a good potential of the area. Conclusion One of the main reasons for the lack of integration in determining areas with geotourism potential is the lack of comprehensive and codified scientific criteria and indices. Geotourism, as one of the sub-branches of tourism, is a way to explain various geological and geomorphological concepts, it can be used as an industry for the construction and development of economic geology. In this study, in order to determine the susceptible areas with geotourism development capability with a view to the sustainable development of the region, the studied criteria were determined according to the availability of their information. These layers include; geology, distance from rivers, city, villages, communication roads, altitude, slope and aspect, rainfall and temperature as effective layers and road and river maps were considered as a constraint layer. In different studies, according to the availability of information of each layer in the study area and according to the purpose of the study, the layer of effective criteria and obstacles are different. After a field survey and identifying 40 alternatives, the results of overlaying the identified alternatives with the final potential map showed 35% of the alternatives in areas with very good potential, 40% of the options in areas with good potential, and 25% of the alternatives has medium development potential, respectively. This method is used to exploit natural resources and prepare tourism, welfare maps and can be a key step for the sustainable development of regions, and can provide a key step for the sustainable development of areas prone to tourism with different goals. &nbsp; http://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.26767082.1400.12.1.1.2 Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective Recently, the use of GIS in urban planning has been developed with the rapid expansion of cities and the dramatic increase in the amount of information that must be processed for urban management. This study investigates the best landfill site for Zahedan city using the performance of decision support tools, Network analysis process (ANP) and Weighted linear combination (WLC) for weighting criteria, and map standardization methods based on Boolean and Fuzzy logic in the form of multi-criteria decision-making. Indeed, based on the variables' impacts in locating the waste landfill in Zahedan city, using multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) to weigh and prioritize and evaluate the effective factors are considered to identify the optimal location regarding the ecological potential of the region. The proposed model indicates the priorities of creating different types of decision-making during the evaluation analysis of the development capabilities of the study area.Materials and Methods Developing a multi-criteria evaluation method in a GIS environment to determine and estimate the capability of desirable landfills in Zahedan city is considered. Thus, by preparing a questionnaire by the Delphi method, 18 sub-criteria in two groups of criteria: 1. ecological criteria (Slope, altitude, soil, erosion, fault, precipitation, wind, direction, surface water, groundwater, vegetation, land use, and geology); 2. Socio-economic criteria (Distance from city, village, mine, airport, and road) is determined, and regarding expert's perceptions and using Network Analysis Process (ANP) in super decision software, weights of each criterion were calculated; and in the next step, the layers of criteria were evaluated in a database based on ArcGIS and stored as benchmark maps; and finally using the WLC method were considered to combine all layers to extract the map of a suitable landfill site in Zahedan city.Results and Discussion By fuzzifying 18 layers (criteria) with fuzzy logic and also applying constraints with Boolean logic, 18-layer maps are prepared and by merging layers with one of the common methods of weight linear composition in Multi-criteria decision, the final landfill location map has been explored. In terms of the spatial distribution of suitable landfills in Zahedan city, according to 5 categories of classification, it was found that the highest level of the region is categorized as the low capable class (99.76%) and suitable areas for landfilling in total is around 0.231, also no part of the Zahedan city has a very high or high capability for using as the landfill location, while around the city of Nusratabad, areas with very high and high capability are observed. It was also found that mainly lands with both low and medium capability, are located in the suburban areas of Zahedan and Nusratabad, with 22 units for the city of Zahedan and 35 units for the city of Nusratabad.Conclusion Reviewing the research literature shows the strengths of using a multi-criteria decision-making method to locate landfills, enabling the use of a robust set of interactive tools to regulate compensability between criteria, which allows a quick assessment of the relationship between the criteria. Other strengths of this method include the ability to integrate homogeneous data sets such as qualitative and quantitative criteria using specialized knowledge, the flexibility to select specific criteria for different study areas or various issues, to implement one or more decision-making groups, the flexibility to change the level of criterion importance and different choices for acceptable levels of decision-making risks. By comparing the final outputs related to other areas, it can be concluded that the final results are close and the method is suitable for landfill locations everywhere. Therefore, it is suggested that for other areas, the evaluation of land capability should be examined with the proposed method in this research. However, since the location of landfills by different criteria and the influence of public opinion depends on scientific analysis, we assume that this method has significant potential to support the decision-making complexities of real-world applications.

        Background and Objective Modeling and showing the coverage of the land changes, provides a comprehensive view to researchers in various fields, including environmental and natural resources experts. One of the main methods of environmental studies is to study the land cover/use and vegetation area change. In addition to showing spontaneous changes in nature, changes affected by human activities also fall into this category. Human construction has accelerated these changes in line with its development, especially in recent decades. Today, with the development of space-related sciences and remote sensing in general, and the production of more satellite products, it is possible to display the land use of different areas without the need for field visits and easily. The different behavior of the waves received by the satellite sensor from the various phenomena, known as a spectral signature is the basis for cognition and detection of the uses of the map. Such studies in Qom province have also been considered due to the very urban growth trend and the existence of several different types of climates in the not-so-wide area of this province. Qualitative and quantitative study and display of environmental and peripheral changes in Qom province over a period of about 30 years are one of the main objectives of the present study to help identify the trend of changes in different classes and complications and to model these changes in the future. Also, recognizing the changes in the outlook of Qom province, makes possible the ground for future planning.Materials and Methods In the present study, study times and time steps were selected based on changes in climatic/meteorological parameters. These steps were selected 5 years apart from 1989 to 2019. The study time point was considered to be the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The reason for this was the end of the rainy season in the area. Then the images of various Landsat satellite sensors were taken at specified time steps, and these images were pre-processed, processed, and classified into 11 classes. These 11 classes included; bare land, salty land, sandy land, tree, rock, urban areas, agricultural lands, and 3 different types of range. The results were also presented quantitatively and qualitatively. Based on the available real data, which was obtained visually and by sampling from different classes, the two maximum likelihood and minimum distance classification methods in Qom province were properly evaluated, which of the two, the maximum likelihood method yielded relatively better results considering the whole province with all classes and was used in the final classification. Finally, class changes between time steps were calculated and presented as a change matrix.Results and Discussion The results show that between 2014 and 2019, urban, water, agriculture, and ranges (types 1 and 3) have grown significantly. Also, between the two steps of 2009 to 2014, on average, about 30% of the total rangelands, ie three different types of classified rangelands, have become barren lands. Also, in this step, the main change observed was the largest change of sandy lands to bare lands, the reasons for which need further investigation. An examination of the changes between 2004 and 2009 shows that the negative growth in urban areas is mainly due to the poor quality of Landsat 7 satellite imagery and the similarity of the spectral behavior of salt lands and urban areas. The other negatively growing classes, including lakes, have become saltier lands and rocky areas have become barren, as well as salt lands have become barren and sandy. Examining the changes between 1999 and 2004, it is concluded that the negative changes in the tree class are due to the spectral behavior of vegetation, and this class has become mainly agricultural and rangeland classes. In the lake class, a 4 % change to the salt and rocky class has been detected. Major changes in the bare land class of about 12% have been detected in the rock and sand class. Also, more than 50% of the total area of range classes has been converted to bare land class, which is significant. The study of changes from 1994 to 1999 shows that only 3 classes had positive growth and the rest of the classes have negative growth, most of which was related to the urban class and the main changes were focused on bare lands. Vegetation classes all had negative growth and also due to the spectral similarity of these classes with each other, there was no proper separation between them. 12% of the bare land class has also been turned into a sandy land class. The classification of images and the display of changes from 1989 to 1994 show that sandy soils, range type 1, trees, salt lands, and lakes have grown negatively. In total, about 34% of different types of ranges have become bare lands, which seems reasonable due to the negative change in water areas (lake) and in a way indicates a faster drought. The extent to which other classes change to the bare land class, which includes relatively large numbers, also confirms this in some way.Conclusion Considering the geographical location of Qom province and a large area of this province, especially in the eastern half of it, which includes desert lands, including barren, saline, and sandy land classes, the selection of the classes mentioned in this research makes sense. Considering the major coverage of the province, one of the problems in the present study was that almost the majority of the pixels covering the province had a lot of similar spectral behavior and this issue made the classification process difficult.&nbsp; In general, the classification results related to the images taken in 2019, which is related to the recent time, show positive growth in urban, agricultural, range, and water areas according to the rainfall in early spring 2019 it was logical. Another important point related to this year is the extensive change and conversion of the class of rocky lands into different types of ranges. According to the original image taken from 2019 and the classified images, the error related to the degrees of gray is evident in those images. The software considers the similarity of the degrees of gray and the same spectrum of urban and salt classes as part of a class. These errors are also evident in bare and sandy classes.

        Background and Objective Floods are one of the most catastrophic and dangerous natural hazards because they are sudden and unpredictable and lead to the destruction of infrastructure, and a threat to human life and property. Identifying areas with high flood potential is one of the most important tasks in flood control and reducing the damage caused by it. Floods are one of the most serious natural hazards that pose serious threats to residential areas and also pose financial and human risks. Floods rank first in terms of damage caused by earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides. Cited. Floods can occur not only in the plains but also in mountainous environments. Flood analysis and its relationship to explanatory variables can help water managers identify the most effective variable in floods. Communities, countries, and pcontinents have suffered severe human losses and economic costs due to the increasing severity and frequency of these natural disasters). In the world due to the increase of these natural disasters, human death in the coming period is probably doubled. Floods are one of the most serious natural hazards that pose a serious threat to residential areas. Climate change and the steady increase in urbanization that occurs with increasing population, followed by an increase in man-made structures, ultimately reduce permeability and possibly further increase the risk of floods and the potential for socio-economic damage. Confirming the growing risks and increasing frequency of flood events, a paradigm shift in flood risk management is observed in many countries, such as Europe. Flood management and mitigation require comprehensive perspectives that take into account a diverse set of flood risk management measures, including active stakeholder engagement, communication, and awareness raising. The present study was conducted in the Neka Rud watershed in Mazandaran province. The use of geographical systems can identify flood-sensitive areas with high accuracy in the shortest time using information layers. This watershed is one of the most important watersheds in the province and its study is of great importance in terms of flood risks due to its high rainfall. Enjoys. The overall purpose of this study is to prioritize sub-basins concerning flooding based on morphological analysis and also to use GIS software as an efficient and cost-effective tool. In this study, the morphometric study of the watershed was investigated and flood sub-basins were identified. The purpose of this study is to identify areas with high flood potential in the Neka River watershed of Mazandaran province to prevent the risks of this natural disaster and prevent financial and human damage.Materials and Methods Seventeen Morphometric parameters were determined to describe the watershed and prioritize the sub-basins of the Neka watershed according to the sensitivity to sudden floods. The basic parameters were measured directly from the DEM using GIS techniques and include basin area, basin length, environment, number of streams, and flow lengths for each flow rating. In this study, very important morphometric parameters were quantitatively selected and used for this analysis. These parameters are directly or inversely related to runoff hazards, peak discharge, and soil erosion. These parameters were divided into three parts: linear, uneven, and surface. Finally, sub-basins were prioritized using this method. To assess the morphology of the watershed, a digital elevation map (DEM) with a resolution of 12.5 m was loaded. Morphological parameters are directly or inversely related to the outbreak. After morphological ranking, the values of each sub-basin were collected to classify and determine their susceptibility to flash floods. The values of the sum of morphometric parameters summarized from 0 for the lowest rank value and 1 for the highest rank value to obtain the flood sensitivity index for each sub-basin were normalized and finally evaluated. Clear changes are observed in the basic parameters of watersheds such as area, environment, and length of the basin. These basin parameters are a very remarkable hydrological feature. The watershed area varies from 484.37 square kilometers under the N1 basin to 48.18 km2 under the N8 basin. The environment can also be used as an indicator of the shape and size of the watershed. According to the obtained results, there is a high correlation between the area and the watershed environment.Results and Discussion The Neka Basin was divided into 12 sub-basins using the Hydrology Toolbox from ArcGIS. According to the obtained results, it was found that sub-basins N8 and N9 have a high priority for flooding. The results show that these two sub-basins are very prone to flooding. Also, sub-basins N11 and N12 have a much lower risk of flooding. The total number of 12 sub-basin flows for the watershed is 366681 and for the first time, it constitutes 52% of the total watershed flows. Geometric values for 12 watersheds are shown in the form of a graph and a straight line, where the log values of the flow number are plotted on a graph.Conclusion Because there are insufficient historical climatic and hydrological records for hydrological modeling, morphometric analysis has been used to assess sub-watershed susceptibility to flooding. The results and analysis obtained in the present study have several fields for practical application and future development. Morphometric analysis of the Neka basin has shown that the watershed is a six-stage drainage system that is very sensitive to flooding. According to the results, sub-basins N8 and N9 have a high risk of flooding. In contrast, the N12 sub-basin has a much lower rate of flooding. The study of the basin showed that the reason for the low flooding below the N12 basin is the shape of the basin and the amount of slope, which has an elongated shape and the area is almost flat in terms of unevenness, which reduces the risk of floods. This study showed that the protection of the region against sudden floods should be the main priority of the competent authorities to protect human lives and agricultural farms and ultimately prevent flood disasters. In this study, it was proved that integration and morphological analysis with GIS can provide a significant tool for understanding the characteristics of watershed sub-basins related to flood management.

        Background and ObjectiveAmong many natural hazards, landslides are one of the most widespread and destructive. Due to the high mountainous topography, tectonic activity, high seismicity, diverse geological and climatic conditions, basically, Iran has a natural condition for creating a wide range of landslides and these landslides annually cause both life loss and financial damage to the country. Since it is difficult to predict the timing of landslides, identifying susceptible areas to landslides, and zoning these areas based on potential risk are highly important. Therefore landslide-prone areas need to be identified in order to reduce such damage. In this respect, landslide susceptibility assessment can provide valuable information essential for hazard mitigation. The main goal of landslide susceptibility analysis is to identify dangerous and high-risk areas and thus reduce landslide damage through suitable mitigation measures. Since the exact prediction of landslides occurrence isn&rsquo;t possible by human sciences, thus, we can prevent the damages of this phenomenon by identification of landslide susceptible areas and prioritizing them. Binalood Mountain in Khorasan Razavi Province, Due to its geological location, geomorphology, topography, climate, vegetation, has kinds of mass movement. The results of these studies can be used as fundamental information by environmental managers and planners. Landslide hazard zonation was challenged by several researchers in recent years. In order to provide landslide hazard, zonation maps various methods such as Fuzzy logic, statistic methods and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be used. Since the early 1970s, many scientists have attempted to assess landslide hazards and produced hazard zonation maps portraying their spatial distribution by applying many different GIS-based methods. Different models and methods have been proposed to produce Landslide hazard zonation. The aim of this study is to develop and compare detailed landslide susceptibility maps (LSM) for Binalood Mountain, using Fuzzy and AHP methods in the framework of the GIS. Materials and Methods The study area is the northern and southern slopes of the Binalood Mountains that are located in the Khorasan Razavi Province. The present study area fallows under 36 &deg; 1' to 36 &deg; 15' north latitudes and 58&deg; 38' to 59 &deg; 35' east longitudes. According to Geological, Geomorphologic, Hydrological, Climatic, Human and Environmental characteristics of the study area and using comparative studies and results of other researchers, 20 criteria and sub-criteria were identified to achieve the goals. The needed Layers of landslide hazard zonation were prepared using ArcGIS software. These layers are slope, aspect, altitude classes, geology, distance from the river, river density, distance from the road, road density, distance from the fault, fault density, morphological units, topographic indexes (stream power index (SPI), topographic wetness index (TWI) and slope length index (LS)), geomorphological indexes (topographic position index (TPI), topographic roughness index (TRI) and surface curvature index, land use, isothermal lines, and Rainfall lines. Thun, The landslide inventory map has been created in the study area. Subsequently, landslide susceptibility maps were produced using Fuzzy Logic and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) models. After preparing the layers, the next step was to assign weight values to the raster layers, and to the classes of each layer, respectively. This step was realized with the use of the AHP method. So, the landslide hazard zonation map of the study area was presented using weight exertion of factors in their layers and integration of them by Arc GIS software. In the Fuzzy method, after fuzzyizing the layers in the ArcGIS environment, the landslide risk zoning was performed using fuzzy gamma 0.8. For verification, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn and the areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated. Finally, the ratio of the percentage of landslides was in each zone to the percentage of the total area of the zone was calculated. Results and Discussion The results of weighting the parameters affecting the landslide using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) showed that geological, slope, and fault factors have the greatest impact on the occurrence of landslide risk in the study area, respectively. The class of very high and high susceptibility covers 47.8% of the total area in the landslide susceptibility map generated with the AHP model. Low and moderate susceptible classes make up 13.4 and 38.8% of the total area, respectively. According to the landslide susceptibility map based on the Fuzzy Method, 27.7% of the total area was determined to be very high and high susceptibility to landslide. Low and moderate susceptible classes constitute 56.8%, and 15.5% of the area, respectively. The AUC values were 0.817 and 0.752 for AHP and Fuzzy models and the training accuracy was 81.7 and 75.2%, respectively. It can be concluded that both models utilized in this study showed reasonably good accuracy in predicting the landslide susceptibility of the study area. Finally, the ratio of the percentage of landslides was ineach zone to the percentage of the total area of zone showed the NRi&nbsp;values in each susceptible class for the AHP model more than the Fuzzy method. The larger ratio in the AHP method indicates its better consistency than the Fuzzy method, implying more coverage of landslides in a smaller area by the AHP method. This result represents the better accuracy of the AHP method than the Fuzzy method in the landslide susceptibility map. Conclusion In this study, the most widely accepted models, AHP and Fuzzy were used for producing Landslide Susceptibility Map (LSM) and their performances were compared. The LSMs were divided into five landslide susceptibility classes. The performance of the resulting LSMs was verified by the ROC curves and Numerical Ratio (NRi).&nbsp;The results show that the AHP and Fuzzy models are successful estimators. The map produced by the AHP model exhibited a slightly better result for landslide susceptibility mapping in the study area. These two techniques may be characterized by incorporating a wide range of conditioning factors. Also, they can discriminate the causative factors for understanding the importance of each factor.&nbsp;The interpretation of the susceptibility map indicates that geological, slope, and fault play major roles in landslide occurrence and distribution in the study area. The landslide susceptibility maps like the one produced in this study should provide a valuable tool for the use of planners and engineers for reorganizing or planning new programs.

        Background and Objective Karst is a composite image of all the roughness, shapes, pores, and phenomena caused by water corrosion, above and below the surface, in various soluble geological formations, which cover about 15% of the world's exposed rocks. Despite the importance of karst areas in the past, today, the study, identification, spatial analysis and management of these areas are of very interest to geologists, hydrologists, hydrogeologists, eco-tourists, geotourists and environmentalists at various scales. Karst phenomenon also has a special place in various dimensions from the point of view of geology and geomorphology, because the causes and methods of dissolution processes and forms and their extension in rocks and minerals are of great importance to East Mazandaran, especially in the study area, is geologically one of the areas with karst process potential and has been less studied due to environmental conditions, especially vegetation and access roads. This study is focused on identifying karst areas and their extent using RS and GIS method in the Zalem-Rud Sari basin in Mazandaran province in northern Iran. In order to identify karst areas and physicochemical characteristics of existing aquifers, it was first necessary to identify karst areas and then assess their physicochemical status. In the first step, using Landsat, ASTER and SRTM satellite data, geological maps, weather information and field visits, factors affecting karstification such as rock types, Fracture lineaments, vegetation, climate, condition of the drainages and the slope of the topography are extracted. It should be noted that in this step, to obtain a better result, fuzzy logic and Hierarchical Analysis Process have been used. In the second step, in order to investigate the physicochemical condition of the aquifer, the chemical parameters of some springs are analyzed and the dissolution parameters, saturation indices, the origin of water-soluble components and the general flow system in the existing aquifers are determined.Materials and Methods In this study, the composition and distribution of rock, based on field visits and georeferenced geological maps of one hundred thousandths of Behshahr and Sari, have been done. Three methods of manual, automatic and semi-automatic have been used to extract the lineaments due to fractures. In the manual method, the lineaments are highlighted and extracted by applying High Pass filters, PCA and the color combination of Landsat 8 satellite data. In the automatic method, the Segment Tracing Algorithm (STA) in PCI software is used. In the STA algorithm, linear pixels are identified based on the degree of gray difference and then converted to vectors based on RADI, GTHR, LTHR, FTHR, ATHR and DTHR parameters. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was used to detect and extract vegetation status on OLI sensor data from the Landsat 8 satellite. To generate DEM, photogrammetric techniques were performed on a pair of stereo images of ASTER sensor in Idrisi software based on parametric variables of external and external orientations and ground control points (GCPs). The topographic slope of the area has been calculated by DEM and based on the degree in GIS and its map has been prepared. Based on the weather data of the General Meteorological Department of Mazandaran Province, the weather condition is determined by the isothermal, isohyetal and isoevaporation curves and the type of weather is determined by the De Marton method.Results and Discussion The result of the above activities has been the production of lithological maps, density and distance from fracture lineaments, density and distance from drainages, topographic slope, rainfall and vegetation. Due to the different criteria used in the generated maps and the need for a single, comparable and proportionate criteria for combining information layers, fuzzy logic has been used. In this case, all layers, except lithology, which has a definite boundary and is a function of Boolean logic, are fuzzy and then extracted as fuzzy layers in GIS. On the other hand, because the weight and effectiveness of the eight factors affecting the occurrence of the karst phenomenon are not the same, the Hierarchical Analysis (AHP) method has been used to determine the preference and prioritization of these factors. And the participation rate, in other words, the weight of each criterion with an incompatibility coefficient of less than one percent has been calculated in Expert Choice 12 software. Finally, by the weighted linear combination (WLC) method, fuzzy raster layers based on their effective weight are combined with Compromise Operator or Gamma and the karst distribution map is extracted with different probability coefficients in the study area. In the next step, in order to investigate the physicochemical status of the aquifers and evaluate the karst phenomenon, 18 springs with equal flow and more than three litres per second were selected and evaluated using SPPS, RockWorks2016 and PHREEQC2.6 software. In addition to extracting hydrogeochemical tables and graphs, the saturation index of various minerals has also been calculated.Conclusion The results of this study show that the karst phenomenon has the most spread in the central part and the lineaments resulting from fractures have played the most role in the formation of this phenomenon. The water type of these springs is calcium-magnesium bicarbonate and according to the Gibbs diagram, the role of aquifer rocks in determining the chemical composition of water is very clear. Also, the saturation indices of minerals and the type of flow in groundwater reservoirs are diffuse and diffuse-duct flows. To this research, the use of new remote sensing technology and GIS increases accuracy and speed and reduces costs in karst studies. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective An earthquake is one of the most important natural events that cause a lot of financial and human losses every year around the world. An earthquake is an earthquake caused by the rapid release of energy, which often occurs due to landslides along a fault in the earth's crust. Earthquakes cause many geological-geotechnical instabilities such as multiple rockfalls, soil and rock landslides, runoff and mud flow, subsidence limestone caves, liquefaction, and expansion rupture. One of the most important effects of an earthquake is the displacement of the earth and the resulting morphological changes. Estimating the rate of land displacement and monitoring the morphological changes of this phenomenon in order to manage the crisis is one of the basic measures after the earthquake. In recent decades, extensive efforts have been made to monitor changes and displacements of the Earth's crust. With accurate alignment and ground observations, changes can be measured with great accuracy, which ground measurements are costly and can be measured sporadically. The use of remote sensing technology in the various earth sciences is very common due to the wide coverage of satellite images, the timeliness of the images, and its low cost compared to terrestrial methods. One of the applications of measurement is to show and control the movements of the earth's crust due to factors such as earthquake, drift, subsidence. The use of radar, satellite images, and radar interferometry methods, due to extensive coverage and periodic imaging and with an accuracy of about cm, is a good tool to monitor changes in the Earth's crust. Satellite imagery of the Sentinel-1 satellite system, which has been made available to the public free of charge by the European Space Agency since 2014 and is currently being continuously imaged, is a good tool for earthquake monitoring. A radar imaging technique is a new tool used for the discovery and display of land subsidence.&nbsp; In the present perusal, in order to achieve the above purpose, using satellite data and radar interferometry technique, the deformation of the earth's crust due to post-seismic movements in Sarpolzahab city has been investigated.&nbsp;Materials and Methods In this paper, using radar imagery, the deformation field due to the seismic dimension of the county is obtained from 11/ 11/ 2017 to 17/11/2017 using radar data (S _ 1 A - IW), with a baseline of 100 m.Results and Discussion Examination of the results of deformation of the earth's crust after an earthquake shows; The highest rate of land subsidence in the north, northwest of Sarpol-e-Zahab city (about 90 cm vertical displacements of the earth's crust) to the west, and land elevation around the epicenter (north of the herd), about 30 cm vertical displacements of the earth's crust (towards Darbandi Khan) It has happened. The effects of subsidence and uplift caused by the earthquake in the study area in addition to morphological changes in the area have also affected the hydrology of water resources in the area. For example, earthquakes have caused significant changes in the volume of water in the Strait of Hammam dam and increased the volume of water resources in the Sirvan river.Conclusion The results of this study showed that the use of radar interferometry technique, in addition to being an efficient tool in estimating the rate of crustal displacement, can be used in relatively accurate estimation of quantitative changes in water resources resulting from crustal displacement.

        Background and Objective North Karun watershed is one of the important sub-basins of the Great Karun River basin. In recent years, the occurrence of severe downstream floods in this basin has caused a lot of human and financial losses. Estimating the amount of runoff produced by rainfall is the main step in conducting a study on flood control and mitigation. Runoff estimation is one of the most important steps in the study of watershed hydrology for flood management, water resources management and soil conservation activities. Runoff is produced as a result of excess rainfall on soil infiltration and surface maintenance and depends on various factors such as physical characteristics of the basin, rainfall and infiltration. The rainfall-runoff relationship has been studied by scientists and researchers and many models have been proposed to simulate this process. One of the basic models in this field is the curved number method model that was proposed by the US Soil Conservation Service and was named the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number or SCS-CN. The SCS-CN model is one of the simple and empirical models in the field of rainfall-runoff that is widely used in estimating runoff height around the world. The curve number (CN) of each basin indicates the hydrological behaviour and runoff generation capacity of that basin during rainfall and its value is estimated from the standard table in which the soil properties with a hydrological factor that indicates the minimum infiltration rate in the long-wet state. It is the duration of the soil, it is expressed. Accordingly, the US Soil Conservation Service has divided all soils into four main groups, A, B, C and D, with high, medium, low and very low infiltration rates, respectively. Due to the high time consumed in calculating this method, traditionally and manually, researchers used remote sensing and geographical information systems technologies to calculate it. To do this, they designed an extension called ArcCN-Runoff that can be added to the GIS environment. The purpose of this study is to generate a curve mapping (CN) and estimate the runoff height in the North Karun Basin using Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies and the SCS-CN method.Materials and Methods North Karun watershed is one of the most important watersheds in the country in providing water resources, which is located in the geographical position of 49o 35' to 51o 47' E longitude and 30 o 28' to 32 o 40' N latitude. This basin has an area of 23299.31 Km2, which is located in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Isfahan, Khuzestan and part of Fars province. In order to produce curve number maps and estimate runoff height, first land use maps were generated using a supervised classification method using Landsat 8 satellite images of OLI sensors related to 2017 and the maximum likelihood algorithm was obtained. Then, the soil layer and soil hydrological groups of the basin were prepared based on the global soil map produced by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the SCS standard table for different soil hydrological groups. By combining land use maps and soil hydrological groups with the Perform Intersect command in the ArcCN-Runoff GIS environment, a curved number (CN) map was generated and edited and finalized based on the SCS-CN table. Finally, by generating a spatial distribution map of precipitation by IDW method at the basin level, runoff height or excess precipitation height was obtained by the SCS-CN method. The final runoff height map was divided into five categories: very low, low, medium, high and very high.Results and Discussion The results showed that a large area of the basin has a slope of more than 30%. Slope can be considered the most important physiographic factor in runoff production in watersheds. According to the land use map, the highest level of use is related to the oak forests of Zagros and rangelands. Due to the type of oak forests that have low density and also poor pastures in the basin due to overgrazing, runoff production is high in these uses. The curve number map also indicates that the maximum and minimum curve number values are in basins 98 and zero. In areas with high curve numbers, the potential for runoff production is high and these areas are related to areas with poor vegetation in the basin. Areas with high curve numbers and high runoff production are mostly related to the calcareous formations of the basin, including the Bakhtiari and Asmari formations, which have formed the high altitudes of the basin, including the Dena Mountains. Also, areas with medium and low CN are mostly related to forest and pasture uses, in which the potential for runoff production is moderate. On the other hand, due to the fact that most of the precipitation in the basin heights is snow, there is an opportunity to penetrate into the soil and as a result, the amount of runoff production is less. The calcareous formations in the basin, which form most of the Zagros highlands, penetrate rainfall through pores and fractures and feed groundwater, which is why we often encounter a large number of springs in these areas. On the other hand, the results of the runoff map indicate that the Zagros heights, which have a high slope, play a major role in runoff production. These areas are mostly located in the southern and southeastern areas of the basin, as well as northwest of the basin.Conclusion A large area of the basin has the potential to produce moderate runoff, which can lead to flooding downstream of the basin. Therefore, it is necessary to implement conservation and watershed management measures in the branches and areas where the flow occurred. Due to the fact that the basis of calculations in preparing maps of curve number and runoff height are raster layers, each pixel of which has a value, the calculations are done and the results are much closer to reality and save time and money.

        Background and Objective In recent decades, with the acceleration of urbanization and the growth of migration to cities, the physical structure of cities has undergone extensive changes. To implement these changes, regardless of the ecological capacities and requirements of sustainable urban development, cities are facing many challenges. One of these challenges is determining the appropriate areas for the physical expansion of the city for the establishment of urban development. One of the most reliable methods to determine the appropriate directions and areas for urban development by considering environmental conditions and characteristics is the land suitability assessment. Such an assessment greatly contributes to sustainable land use and solving environmental problems caused by rapid urban development. Land suitability assessment aims to identify the most appropriate spatial pattern for future land uses considering the ecological potential of the area. Since many criteria need to be considered and analyzed in the selection of appropriate lands for urban development, it is necessary to use the most effective techniques to identify the best locations for future urban expansion. The Geographic Information System is such a technique, having its most useful application in the land suitability assessment method. In setting the importance of the criteria used and computing the weights of factors, GIS tools must be integrated with other methods to improve the results. Given that, the present study attempted to evaluate the land suitability to determine suitable areas for the establishment of urban development of Bam city through the integration of the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making approach, Fuzzy Logic, and Geographic Information System.Materials and Methods To achieve the objectives of this study, with the help of a group of experts, and an extensive review of the related literature, all the criteria and sub-criteria essential to the establishment of urban development were identified as the first step. To this end, a questionnaire was designed and distributed among the group of experts and they were asked to express their opinions on the identified criteria and sub-criteria. To determine the required sample size and population, Morgan&rsquo;s sampling table was employed. Consequently, 9 criteria and 13 sub-criteria were selected for the land suitability assessment in this study.&nbsp;Multi-Criteria Decision-Making method and Expert-Choice software were used to compare and weigh the previously determined criteria and sub-criteria. As the next step, all the data layers were standardized by the fuzzy logic method using ArcGIS software. The scale of the maps used in this research is 1:100000 and the resolution of digital layers is 90&times;90 meters. After assigning calculated weights to each data layer, they were overlaid using the Weighted Linear Combination method and fuzzy sum technique.Results and Discussion The results from MCDM analysis revealed that three sub-criteria namely distance from major faults, distance from drinking water wells, and soil texture had the highest weights among other factors at 0.235, 0.117, and 0.114, respectively. The inconsistency calculated for the pairwise comparison in this study was 0.07, which is below the 0.1 thresholds. Analysis of the final raster suitability map, resulting from overlaying data layers, showed that the highest and the lowest pixel values were 0.481 and 0.07, respectively. To perform a more accurate analysis, the final suitability map was classified into four suitability classes (medium, low, very low, and undevelopable) indicating that 24% of the studied area equivalent to 189965.2 hectares, categorized as having medium suitability, 34% low equivalent to 268854.3 hectares, 22% very low equivalent to 178695.7 hectares, and 20% undevelopable equivalent to 160762/3 hectares for the establishment of urban development. The medium suitable areas are mainly located in the east, northwest, and to a lesser extent in the center, mostly away from the major fault lines, while the areas of very low suitability and undevelopable are mainly located in the west and south of the area studied. Due to their proximity to protected areas, mountainous, fault lines, and hills, these areas do not demonstrate the appropriate suitability for the establishment of urban development.Conclusion This study was conducted to identify and determine suitable areas for the establishment of urban development in Bam city using a combination of the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making approach, Geographic Information System, and Fuzzy Logic technique. All the criteria and sub-criteria, used to conduct this study, have been determined using a questionnaire and considering the environmental conditions and socio-economic characteristics of the studied area. As a result, 9 criteria including water resources, climate, topography, geology, soil, areas under the Department of Environment Management, roads, population centers, and land use, and 13 sub-criteria including distance from surface and groundwater resources, climate, wind speed, slope, altitude, distance from the main faults, geology, soil texture, distance from protected areas, distance from roads, distance from built-up urban areas and land use were selected for this study. Expert Choice and ArcGIS software were employed for pairwise comparison and standardization and overlaying data layers. It was found that 24% of the studied area equivalent to 189965.2 hectares can be categorized as medium suitability for the establishment of urban development. Based on the final results, it is concluded that the integration of the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making approach, Fuzzy Logic, and Geographic Information System can provide sufficient tools to determine the areas suitable for urban development and present a detailed analysis of these areas according to the characteristics of the area for future planning.

        Unsuitable positioning in national and regional development plans and projects in Iran results in irreversible spending of budget and time mainly. The aim of this study is to decline the costs and loss of opportunities, using a model that can effectively reduce the error of expert. This study was performed in the Ghourchay Ramian basin. Firstly, distinct scenarios and conceptual and tree model were created for biological and mechanical measures (masonry corrective dams). Then the constraints and vector maps entered into the SMCE in ILWIS&reg;3.7. Constraints (slope, land use, soil and streams) with Boolean method and factors (slope, height, soil, soil erosion, land use and proximity to road, village, fault, rock sources and landslide) with Fuzzy method (benefit, cost and compound methods) have been standardized. Then weighting of factors performed using the results of questionnaires and expert opinions with procedures as ranking, pairwise comparisons and direct method. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire, was controlled. Results showed that four ranking, which was specified in priority map, in biological plans, places with first priority allocated 0.73 to 0.97 scores and over 3 km of waterways and in dam and concrete plans, 0.65 to 0.86 and an area of 2470 hectares, respectively. The model type is logical and uses logical and optimization principles not experimental principles. So there was no try to test it with the previous schemes were implemented. Projects that many errors because lack of the possibility of combining several criteria and GIS advanced techniques. Finally, it was suggested that due to the high performance of this model for evaluating watershed management projects and prediction of projects for implementation, this model will be used in the same watersheds in the country.

        Landslides are one of the most destructive phenomena of nature that cause damage to both property and life every year, therefore, landslide susceptibility zonation (LSZ) is necessary for planning future developmental activities. In this study, the operator of fuzzy logic in landslide hazard zonation has been used in the Chamsangar watershed. For study the stability of slopes in the Chamsang field, in first step the sliding point and subsequent distribution maps of landslide were prepared using satellite images and field excursions (recording the sliding points by GPS). The correlation level between sliding points and each effective factor in landslide occurrence including slope, aspect, landuse, elevation, lithology, rainfall, drainage and distance to road determined using frequency ratio model. The fuzzy values prepared by expert view and the membership functions appointed for all effective factors in ArcGIS&reg;10.1environment. The Sum of Quality (QS) index used for evaluation and deviation of operators outputs which applied in estimation of sliding risk. Results show that Gama operator 0.9 with QS=0.554 is the more suitable than Fuzzy Algebraic Sum with QS=0.042 and Fuzzy Algebraic Product with QS=0.008 for prepare the landslide risk maps in Chamsangr field. According the zoning based on the gamma operator 0.9, the 13.39, 47.58, 32.7, 5.44, and 0.884 percent of the area is located in very low, low, medium, high and very high risk classes, respectively.

        In order to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to obtain and adopt planning procedures based on Multi Criteria Evaluation of natural environment. Since biophysical (natural) environment has limited ecological capabilities for human use, ecological capability assessment, as an essence for environmental studies and with the aim of preventing existing crises, yields proper grounds for environmental planning. The analysis of land capability and sufficiency for urban development is one of the main categories with which urban planners deal. In this paper, by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) through the perspective of Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) Approach and within the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), ecological capability of the suburbs surrounding Tabriz city was assessed (natural and human in terms of 12 criteria) to examine the physical development of Tabriz city and final mapping of the region was provided. This mapping shows regions suitable for physical urban development of the city. The results and finding of this research were applied by urban planners. Manuscript profile

        Unplanned development of industries can be harmful to sustainable development. Some of the harms include destruction of farmlands and natural ecosystems and emission of environmental pollutants. Furthermore, establishment of industries in unsuitable and risky sites can cause heavy damages. Thus, unplanned development of industrial plants should be stopped and suitable lands for industrial purposes should be studied and identified. The aim of this research is land suitability assessment for industry's establishment in Malard county using AHP-Fuzzy Logic method. Various qualitative and quantitative criteria effective in land suitability assessment were identified and selected. Then, using AHP method, qualitative criteria were quantified and weighed. In modeling process, fuzzy logic was used to convert discrete variables to continuous variables and change data layers to raster format and combines them in Arc&reg;GIS software. Finally, the land suitability map for industrial development was developed. Manuscript profile

        In this study, to determine appropriate locations for the construction of wind power plants in the East Azerbaijan, several criteria, including wind speed, prevailing wind speed, pressure, temperature, elevation, slope, road, city, village, protected areas, land use, river, fault and earthquakes were considered. All criteria were implemented by using an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) weight of layers in EC2000 software. For fuzzification the parameters were coded by 0, 1 into the IDRISI software and based on the expert opinions, the control points and fuzzy function of each layer was determined. Then the software Arc&reg;GIS9.3 was used to overlay layers, and finally, the East Azerbaijan potential wind power plant was constructed in four levels: excellent (217294.36 ha), good (972887.64 ha), fair (1650932.35 ha) and poor (1709038.40 ha).

        Introduction: The intrusion detection system is responsible for identifying and detecting unauthorized external use of the system that is misused or damaged by internal users. Therefore, the intrusion detection system is created in the form of software and hardware, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. The speed and accuracy of the hardware system and the failure of their security by intruders are other features of such systems. If the software related to intrusion detection, acceptability, and the difference between different operating systems are used, they give more generality to the software systems. More suitable software systems are chosen.Method: The behavior of the intrusion detection system is discussed in opposition to various intrusion methods, and in order to deal with intrusion into the system and computer networks, several methods have been created under the name of intrusion detection, which monitors the events that have occurred in a system and into computer networks.Results: the performance of the intrusion detection system is presented in order to influence the behavior of the abuse detection system as well as anomaly detection using fuzzy logic based on an alpha device. The obtained results showed the accuracy rate up to 91.26% and the detection of false alarms up to 90.96%.Discussion: An Intrusion detection system is essential as the first line of defense for the network. Many algorithms depend on the quality of the data set provided for intrusion detection. Of course, in recent developments in knowledge data collection access systems, there has been an increase in interest in data-driven approaches to curb the increase in control system cyber-attacks related to false alarms. Most machine learning-based intrusion detection systems rely on web applications/operating systems or network layers to detect targeted attacks by host or network. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of sufficient research in the evaluation and collection of intrusion detection system datasets for false alarm behaviors, which requires further studies in this field.

        Objective: In today's highly competitive business world, the performance of people in the workplace is one of the most important structures for organizations to achieve their goals. On the other hand, organizations should have the ability to react in dynamic environments and use appropriate mechanisms to increase the use of opportunities and reduce threats and use their abilities in the best way. Innovation in information technology is a solution that organizations use to deal with these pressures and threats. Because the performance of employees has a fundamental and vital role for organizations to achieve their goals, for this reason, both from a theoretical and practical perspective, understanding the factors that affect organizational performance is considered one of the crucial research paths. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of psychological capital on organizational performance with regard to the mediating effect of innovation in information technology in sports organizations in Isfahan.Methodology: The method of this research was applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive in terms of the type of research that was conducted in the form of a survey. The statistical population of this research includes the employees of the General Department of Sports and Youth, the employees of the Physical Education Department of Education, the employees of the Municipal Sports Deputy and the employees of the sports clubs of Isfahan city, of which, using the Morgan table, there are 386 of these people by random sampling method. A class was selected. Data was collected using standard questionnaires. To measure psychological capital, from the standard psychological capital questionnaire of Lutans et al. (2007) in which each of the components of self-efficacy, hope, positivity and resilience were considered. The second questionnaire is also derived from the organizational performance questionnaire of Kaplan and Norton (2003) and this scale has four components (financial, customer, internal processes and growth and learning), also from the information technology innovation questionnaire of Zhu and George (2003). was used Data analysis was done using structural equation modeling with the help of AMOS and SPSS software.Findings: The results of the research show that self-efficacy, positivity and resilience have a significant effect on innovation in information technology in sports organizations. But hope has no significant effect on innovation in information technology of sports organizations. In addition, innovation in information technology has a significant effect on organizational performance in sports organizations. Innovation in information technology mediates the effect of psychological capital on organizational performance, and there is a positive and significant relationship between psychological capital and innovation in information technology.Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, innovation in information technology, which is the innovation in providing electronic services of sports organizations, can improve the organizational performance (in four dimensions, financial, customer, internal processes, and growth and learning) of sports organizations and is one of the important factors. It is considered to be effective on the performance of sports organizations. Therefore, managers and officials of sports organizations should take innovation in information technology seriously and use it as an important competitive advantage among competitors.

        Objective: This research aims to provide an overview of the intersection between sociological imagination and sports, with a specific focus on highlighting key concepts and identifying research opportunities in this dynamic field. The paper commences by introducing the concept of sociological imagination and its significance in the study of sports. Sociological imagination is defined as the cognitive capacity to comprehend the interconnections between personal experiences and wider social structures. Its application enables a comprehensive analysis of sports by taking into account the social, cultural, economic, and political factors that shape various aspects of sporting practices, experiences, and outcomes.Methodology: A thorough literature search was conducted using academic databases, focusing on relevant keywords and selecting studies published in peer-reviewed journals, books, and conference proceedings from 1960 to the present. The selected articles underwent data extraction and analysis, organizing key concepts, theories, and empirical findings thematically. The synthesis of findings was conducted using a narrative review approach, allowing for the integration of diverse perspectives and theoretical frameworks. The integration of findings involved a critical examination of the literature to identify overarching themes, gaps, controversies, and emerging trends. The interpretation and discussion of the synthesized findings provided a comprehensive overview of the role of sociological imagination in understanding various dimensions of sport, including its implications for sports policies, practices, and social change.Results: Findings revealed that sociological imagination can be effectively applied to analyze the processes of socialization and identity formation in sports. It underscores the significant role of sports in shaping individuals' social skills, values, and identities. Furthermore, the influence of sports experiences on individuals' beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors is highlighted, emphasizing the substantial impact of sports on forming identities and values. Moreover, the paper emphasizes the importance of considering social factors when analyzing sports. It investigates the existence of social inequalities within the sporting realm, particularly focusing on disparities in opportunities and resources. The examination of race, gender, and social class in sports participation demonstrates how these intersecting social categories influence individuals' access to sports and their prospects of achieving success. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the significance of sports as a platform for social change and resistance. It explores the role of activism and protests within the sporting world, illustrating how athletes utilize their platforms to challenge discrimination and advocate for social justice. Notably, the article provides concrete examples of social change facilitated through sports, demonstrating how sports can serve as a potent tool for raising awareness, challenging social norms, and promoting inclusivity and equity.Conclusion: This research paper emphasizes the significance of applying sociological imagination to the analysis of sports. By utilizing this approach, a comprehensive understanding of the social dynamics within sports is achieved, encompassing crucial aspects such as socialization processes, identity formation, social inequalities, and the potential for social change. The findings underscore the importance of considering social factors in sports analysis, recognizing the role of sports in shaping individuals' social skills, values, and identities. Moreover, this study identifies several areas that warrant further research. The exploration of intersectionality in sports, considering the overlapping influences of race, gender, social class, and other social categories, offers a promising avenue for deeper analysis. Additionally, the examination of the role of technology and digital media in sports, as well as the impact of sports on globalization, health inequalities, sports governance and policy, and sports as a platform for social change and resistance, present fertile ground for future investigations. By embracing sociological imagination, researchers can contribute to a more profound understanding of sports as a complex social phenomenon. Furthermore, it enables the identification and examination of social issues and power dynamics within sporting environments, paving the way for the creation of more inclusive, equitable, and socially conscious practices within the realm of sports.

        Avicenna, can be regarded as the most prominent of Islamic philosophers. Despite the fact that he lived in the medieval era, he did not follow the medieval line of thought. He was rather like Renaissance thinkers in opposing any sort of narrow-minded dogmatism and blind imitation of the ancients as well as in relying on reason and experiment as the only touchstone of truth and never rejected a belief before he found conclusive evidence in its refutation and meanwhile regarded it as possible. That is why he considered the intuitive findings of mystics and the miracles of saints as logically possible and in some of his works sought to provide philosophical justifications for them. However drawing on evidence from Avicenna's life, we will to show that he never set foot on the path of mystic quest and neither did he adopt a Sufi's life style. Manuscript profile

        One of the areas of humor application is in Farsi literature and theosophical works. Common points between theosophy and humor have caused them to be conjoined in theosophical poetry and to be used with the background of theosophical humor in mystic works. Hence, theosophical language structure and also humor structure which rely on some aspect of non-contradiction principle; creates the logical and structural basis for usage of humor. Moreover, both theosophy and humor are based on spirit elation and training as well. Therefore, theosophy and humor have a deep bond together and overlap on another in terms of structure and concept.

        Security is one of the basic needs of human instinct so that one of the essential concerns of human being has been security in various areas of life. A lot of wars and peace have always occurred to provide and maintain security. From Islamic perspective, security has a widespread dimension and horizon and conclusive in terms of meaning and expression so much that it refers to the whole small and big issues of personal and collective human life in all areas philosophically. In fact security is the most critical need of human being to the extent that one can say the existence of governments, states, and public institutions are affected by such a human need. Accordingly, the subject of security has always been to the attention of all intellectual of communities. Out of discussions on security, "mental security" is one the most important and most critical subjects in human life in which the provision and attention to that is inevitable. As human being is a complicated and wonderful creature, so is his security. This is especially prevalent with mental security. Mystically, human psyche that is affected by all internal and external causes reacts. Thus, in terms of personal or social mental health and hygiene, all reasons and causes should be taken into account. Security is a complex word and practically is of vast expanse. Security covers the range from the most internal thoughts and emotions to the most important issues among governments. Due to the points discussed in this paper, the writer tried to extract and analyze the solutions for making psychological security and the barriers. Respectively, this paper makes a conclusion over psychological security and later the solutions and barriers to make it is analyzed through the supreme leader's viewpoint. Manuscript profile

        All the myths about music, such as Hermes, Pythagoras, Apollo, etc., indicate the emergence of musical myths. According to these myths, there is a kind of cosmic music, with a metaphysical dimension, which, from the point of view of Indian thinkers, does not lead to any innovation, or is reflected by the expansion of a concept by Neoplatonists such as Boethius, all the music of the universe. They are a cosmopolitan music. From this point of view, by liberating music from a one-sided and monologue atmosphere, all beings have a contemporaneous human spirit, as a result of which heavenly songs are flowing in them. Considering the connections between the scope of Islamic mysticism and the science of music, in a study of the functions of cosmic music in various mystical texts, it was observed that cosmic music in topics such as the Old Testament (associating the word of truth with listening to each song and sub-hearing due to divine tendencies, the flow of cosmic music in all beings and its enjoyment in proportion to the capacity and inner states, the background of the intuition of heavenly truths through the music of this world and the prominent manifestation has it.

        The Heart moth, Dicycla oo (L.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), attacked a part of oak forests in Fars province of Iran in recent years. The larvae severely feed on buds and sprouts and cause the tree to be defoliated from leaves. The pest biological characteristic was studied in the Moordak region of the Kazeroon district during 2004-2007. The results showed that the pest had only one generation in a year. The life of the pest in egg stage was spent beneath the egg scales which had the same color to the oak barks in a part of spring, whole summer and winter. The neonate larvae appeared on the swelling buds from the first half of the March. The duration of embryonic period, larval stages, pre-pupae, pupae and adult longevity took long (320&plusmn;8.37), (25&plusmn;2.12), (3&plusmn;0.34), (8&plusmn;0.84), and (10&plusmn;0.71) days respectively. The sex ratio was estimated 1:1 in laboratory and field conditions. The male and female adult longevity was determined 7 and 9 days, respectively. The first moths appeared in the late of April. The peak of moth&rsquo;s flight occurred on 30th April to 9th May. The morphological characteristics including oviposition rate, body dimensions, head capsule width, pupae body dimensions, and adults were measured. The Male and female moths after forming was sent to Dr. Michael Fibiger in Denmark for confirmed of genus and species. Manuscript profile

One starved female thrips consumed a mite&rsquo;s egg, a first instar larva and a protonymph, a deutonymph and an adult female mite in 1.52, 2.63, 3.13, 7.93 and 15.5 minute respectively. The first instar larva of the thrips ate 10.1 eggs or 1.2 female mites, the second instar larva consumed 34.5 eggs or 4.7 female mites and the adult female ate 49.1 eggs or 11.7 adult females per day. The mated female with a prey consumption of 11.7 female mites had the highest appetite. The unmated females and males by daily consumption of respectively 7.3 and 6.2 females had no significant difference in their voracity. The daily mean voracity increased from 0.3 to 17.1 female mites per female thrips by increasing temperature from 5 to 40&deg;C. The rate of feeding severely decreased at 45&deg;C and it was almost equal to rate of feeding at 26&deg;C. Switching behavior of the thrips by using Murdach model, in different proportion of two prey, T. turkestani and E. orientalis shown negative switching and more number of T. turkestani was consumed when the proportion increased.

        The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera:Tephritidae) is the most important and widespread pest in the olive growing countries in the world. The larvae feed upon the pulp, resulting in a significant quantitative and qualitative loss in the production of table olives and oil. In this research, infected fruits from infected areas were collected and biological and reproductive parameters were evaluated at 27 &plusmn; 1&deg;C, 60-70 % RH and photoperiod of 16L: 8D on olive fruit, Zard variety. Because of internal function of immature stages of the pest, we supposed that the gross hatch rate was equal to 1 and survival rate (lx) of adults was compared with the initial egg number. Results showed that incubation period of eggs, larval and pupal stages lasted&nbsp; in 3.26 &plusmn; 0.095, 13.13 &plusmn; 0.28 and 9.13 &plusmn;&nbsp; 0.34 days respectively. Development time of the pest in suitable condition was 25.53 &plusmn; 0.48 days. Pre-oviposition time, oviposition time and post-oviposition time was 5.64 &plusmn; 0.31, 51.64 &plusmn; 1.73 and 4.07 &plusmn; 0.68 days respectively.&nbsp; The average of adult longevity for males was 38.57 &nbsp;&plusmn; 2.56 and for females was&nbsp; 61.36 &nbsp;&plusmn;2.15 days. The total number of laid eggs laid in suitable conditions was 214.25 &plusmn; 22.38 per female (139-256). The sex ratio was 1.1: 1, female: male. The survival rate until last stages of life cycle was equal to 1 but in this time some females was dead that it appeared as fluctuations in the rate. The gross and net fecundity and fertility rate of the pest on olive fruits was 118.20 and 46.97 respectively, because the gross hatch rate was supposed equal to 1. Mean egg per day was 1.90 and mean eggs/female/day was 0.89. Mean fertile eggs per day&nbsp; and mean fertile eggs/female/day were equal to 1.90 and 0.89 too.&nbsp; Results of showed that generation time (T) was 58.18 days, doubling time (DT) was 8.88 days, finite rate of increase (&lambda;) was 1.08 and intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was 0.078.

Safflower capsule fly, Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a key pest of safflower in Kohgiloyeh (Southwest, Iran). It is mainly controlled through application of broad-spectrum insecticides, which can adversely affect safflower farms ecosystem and consequently human health. Since a first step in setting up an IPM program is to assess the biological control agents within the ecosystem, so in this research work the pupal parasitoid complex of Safflower Capsule Fly (SCF) on safflower was identified, and its natural potential in controlling the pest compared for different generations and in different locations in Kohgiloyeh during 2010-2011. Adults of the pupal parasitoids of SCF were recorded from laboratory-reared pupae, which had been collected on damaged small flower heads of the first generation and large flower heads of the second and the third generations. Rate (%) of parasitism on A. helianthi pupae was estimated as the number of parasitoids over the total count of parasitoids and flies. Ten pupal parasitoids of the host were found:&nbsp; Bracon hebetor, Bracon luteator, (Braconidae); Isocolus tinctorious (Cynipidae); Pronotalia carlinarum (Eulophidae); Eurytoma acroptilae (Eurytomidae); Ormyrus orientalis (Ormyridae); Colotrechnus viridis, Pteromalus sp. (Pteromalidae) and Adontomerus crassipes, Microdontomenus annulatus (Torymidae). Total parasitism varied from 1 to 16.8%, with an average of 7.7% as revealed through the present study. A comparison of the means of the pupal parasitism rate showed a significant difference at 5% level between different generations and localities. The highest rate of parasitism occurred in the first generation in all localities, as well as in years. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Zeuzera pyrina (Linnaeus, 1761) (Lepidoptera: Coccidae) is a polyphagous pest that feeds more than 100 plant species. Entomophagous fungi are one of the limiting factors to control the population of this pest in nature. In this study, the lethal effect of two fungi Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana on the first and second larval instars of Zeuzera pyrina was investigated in laboratory conditions. The first and second instar larvae of Z. pyrinia were collected from the branches of walnut trees in Baft, Kerman province, Iran. The larvae were transferred to sterile Petri dishes after sterilization with Mercury chloride and distilled water. Spore suspension at concentrations of 1.5 &times;10 6, 1.5&times;10 7, 1.5&times;10 8 conidia/ml was prepared, and then mortality rate of adults was examined after 5, 6, 9, 12, 14, 16 days. The lowest value LC50 in presence of B. bassiana (16 day), M. anisoplaie (12day) and two combined fungi (50:50), M. anisoplaie and B. bassiana (9 day) was 1/5&times;104.5, 1/5&times;103.9 and 1/5&times;102.2 conidia/ml respectively. Therefore, the combination of two B. bassiana and M. anisoplaie fungi had the best effect in the shortest time and M. anisoplaie had better effect than B. bassiana. Nowadays, biological control is one of the best and most practical control programs to protect of environment; biological control of pests, chemical pesticides that have harmful effects on humans and other organisms. In this study, the simultaneous use of two fungi B. bassiana and M. anisoplaie caused to 100% mortality of woodworker worm larvae during 16 days in concentration of1/5 &times;10 8 conidia/ml.

        The spherical mealybug, Nipaecoccus viridis (Newstead) (Hem., Pseudococcidae), is a serious pest of citrus and other cultural and non-cultural plants in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. This pest was recorded from south of Iran, in Fars, Hormozgan and Khuzestan provinces. The damage of the pest increased high on citrus trees in Jahrom region of Fars-Iran at recent years. High reproductive potential and wide distribution of pest and problems of chemical control have led to a greater need for the use of natural enemies as IPM programs.In present investigation, possibility of biological control of N. viridids by Chrysoperla carnea (Neu., Chrysopidae) in citrus orchards of Jarom was studied during 2004-2005. First instar larvae of green lacewing, C. carnea, were released according to the layout plan. A Complete Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with six treatments and four replications was adopted. For better result, movements of ants on treated trees were prevented by special sticky band. Percentage of fruit infection was considered in the study. The overall results showed that the mealybug can be controlled biologically by green lacewing with three times release of larvae at April 30, May 10 and May 20 at rate of 500 larvae/tree.

        Camelthorn is a perennial noxious weed belonging to the Fabaceae family that exist almost in the most regions in Iran and reproduces by seed and rhizome. In 2008, a seed beetle was collected on legumes of camelthorn which identified as Bruchidius fulvus (Allard, 1883). Biology of this insect was studied in laboratory conditions in 15&plusmn;1:25&plusmn;1˚C light:day, relative humidity of 65&plusmn;5% and length of light: dark 12:12h and also field (Natural) conditions. Incubation period of eggs prolonged about 6&plusmn;1.71 days. Eggs placed on legumes individually and the mean number of egg lay for a female was 19.8&plusmn;0.95 eggs. The larva bore directly into the seeds through the cortex at the end of embryonic development. The mature larvae change to the pupa inside the seed. This beetle has 2-3 generations annually in Birjand and overwinters as larva inside extant legumes of host plant. The larvae change to pupa and adult in late spring and early summer (beginning of flowering camelthorn). The adult females start to lay eggs after having a taste from host leaves and flowers, simultaneous by appearing legumes. Only a larva remains inside each seed and grow after feeding from inner parts of the legumes and change to pupa there. Adult seed beetles make their way outside by boring a small hole on the seed and extant legume. The life cycle accomplishment of this beetle from egg to adult depends on environmental condition lasted 48.8&plusmn;2.48 days. Under laboratory conditions, larval and pupal periods last about 32&plusmn;0.94 and 11&plusmn;0.54 days, respectively. The larvae of this beetle can damage camelthorn seeds up to 35-48% in natural conditions. Because of its impact on seed production, the camelthorn weevil may be a valuable candidate for biological control of camelthorn in the south khorasan. Manuscript profile

        Development of urbanization and consequently, the physical development of cities, has created problems in the urban space that threaten its inhabitants and urban life. Sustainable urban development has been one of the most important issues in urban communities regarding the solution of current and future problems of cities and consists of various levels, such as architecture, urban neighborhoods, to sustainable global development. In fact, a sustainable city is a place where most of its residents are satisfied with living in the city. If housing (as one of the important factors of sustainable urban development) is unhealthy, the health and quality of life of a wide range of people in society and consequently the health of the city is endangered. The purpose of this study is to investigate health issue, in housing, extracting physical components and their relationship with architectural and urban policies. The research method is descriptive-analytical and with the help of a questionnaire with 20 items in three areas of physical, mental and social health, information was collected and using SPSS software to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The results indicated that the hypotheses were correct. The results show that among the health indicators in housing, "security" in all three Health indicators is a priority for residents, Also, people pay more attention to "mental health" than the other two indicators of health, and it seems that mental health is the first priority of their needs. Among the extracted components, security, landscape, light, noise pollution, light pollution and visual pollution, climate and health, green space, in addition to the need to pay attention to these components in architectural environmental policies, their intensity and weakness in housing design and the issue of health is directly related to urban environmental policies. The results of this study and knowledge of health indicators are useful for architects, urban designers and urban planners, so that they can improve the quality of life, social health and ultimately sustainable development of the city through the policies of the architectural and urban environment.Extended AbstractIntroduction:The development of urbanization and the subsequent physical development of cities have created problems in the urban space in such a way that it threatens its inhabitants and the continuity of urban life. Sustainable urban development has been one of the most important topics of the day in urban communities regarding the solution of current and future problems of cities. This issue is raised at various levels from the architecture of regions and neighborhoods to the sustainable development of cities and sustainable global development. In fact, a sustainable city is a place where most of its residents are satisfied with living in the city. If housing (as one of the important factors of sustainable urban development) is unhealthy, the health and quality of life of a wide range of people in society and consequently the health of the city is endangered. The growing rate of urban population and the expansion of urbanization in recent decades on the one hand and the increase in demand for housing, lack of suitable land and high prices on the other hand, have led people to apartment life. This lifestyle, which is almost the only possible way to live in urban communities, in addition to solving some problems, also has consequences, the most important of which are: vitamin D deficiency, overweight, increased rates of Spiritual, mental and physical illness. Therefore, it seems that the issue of health and its various threats are among the most important problems of life in apartment complexes and sustainable urban development, which in this article is the main issue of research. The purpose of this study is to investigate the issue of health in housing, and their relationship in architectural and urban policies.Methodology:The present study is a descriptive-analytical method based on a survey process that has been conducted among the residents of apartment houses with a density of 4 to 8 floors in Shiraz. Sampling was done by cluster sampling and randomly. The sample size was selected based on Cochran's formula of 384 people. Research tool in this research, a questionnaire with 20 items consisting of three sections of physical health, mental health, and social health was selected based on the research (Table 1) and the answer was based on the Likert scale. Data analysis tool was SPSS software and Friedman test was used to analyze the data.&nbsp;Results and discussion:As mentioned in this study, 384 residents of apartment houses in Shiraz were studied. Their questionnaire was compiled in three areas of mental health, physical health and social health. Residents' preferences for the presence of health components in their apartments were also analyzed and two hypotheses were tested.Hypothesis 1: The "security and safety" component in all three areas of physical, mental and social health seems to be a key indicator in residents' preferences.Hypothesis 2: Among the three aspects of health, "mental health" is a priority for residents. Both hypotheses were confirmed in this study.Conclusion:The aim of this study was to analyze the components of health in all three dimensions of physical, mental and social, in housing, as one of the aspects of sustainable urban development. The results indicate that the component of "security and safety" in all aspects of physical, mental and social health, had the highest average level of preferences. Also, according to the results of this article, it seems that among the three dimensions of physical, mental and social health, people pay more attention to "mental health" and this aspect of health is the first priority of their needs, it seems that, The reason for this result, is people&rsquo;s need to "relax" at home, which especially in contemporary urban life, has become the most important concern and expectation of people from their homes. The issue of peace and calm in the home, both mentally and emotionally, is an issue that affects the quality of life of residents, which is caused by various conditions.The results of this study introduce the components of "mental health" in housing 11 items, which include: attention to building security, reducing noise pollution, light or visual, suitable landscape, attention to the dimensions of the house and spaces, number of rooms, sound privacy And visual privacy, separation of private and public spaces in the building, the existence of relaxing spaces, flexibility, providing natural and artificial light in order to produce peace of mind and use of green space. In fact, these components are indicators in the field of mental health that can bring relaxation at home. Also, key indicators in the field of "physical health" include 4 components, which include: attention to physical security (safety) of the building, including structures and earthquakes, fire and firefighting, attention to climate issues such as natural light, building hygiene and cleanliness, open spaces (Terrace or yard or roof) In order to increase physical activity and prevent respiratory diseases. Also, "social health" indicators include 5 components and the most important of them include: security, the existence of space for all family members to communicate and interact with each other, and the design of spaces for communication and interaction with neighbors and interaction with each other. These indicators can be very important in health policies and disease prevention and intervention. Among the extracted components, security, landscape, light, noise pollution, light pollution and visual pollution, climate and health, in addition to the need to pay attention to these components in architectural environmental policies, their intensity and weakness in housing design and the issue of health is directly related to urban environmental policies. Undoubtedly, health and development are closely related and enjoying physical, mental and social health is an individual and social right of every individual. Also, having a healthy body and soul is one of the basic infrastructures for the comprehensive development of any society. Manuscript profile

        During the last one or two decades, with the increase in crises, the resilience of cities and regions against natural and human hazards has received particular attention. The aim of this research is the spatial analysis of the components affecting the urban resilience of the metropolis of Tehran (the political and economic capital of Iran) in the form of ecological indicators and identifying the most important factors affecting them. In this research, firstly, indicators in 7 categories include water transfer reservoirs, waste collection centers, water and wastewater treatment centers, green use and parks, brown and barren lands, fault lines, and air pollution in the GIS software environment using resilience state overlay tools. It showed the areas. The future research discussion of this article consists of two parts. In the first part, in order to create a base of existing primary factors about the components of spatial resilience, from the environmental scanning technique (examination of articles and printed sources, interviews with experts, and monitoring of conventions and conferences) and review of the literature background. In the second part, experts and elites were asked to identify the most important factors affecting the ecological resilience of the environment within the next 10 years. Finally, 18 variables were determined by Delphi, and Mic Mac software was used for data analysis. The findings showed that the spatial analysis of the resilience of Tehran city in the ecological dimension of the environment is in an unstable state by considering the effect-dependency analysis diagram. Based on the findings, the variables of fault zones and earthquake intensity, drought, establishment of production and industrial resources (power plants and industries), proximity of risk centers, soil quality, quality and quantity of water reserves, environmental pollution, threats of geomorphological origin (landslide, subsidence) and..) has the highest influencing factor on the ecological dimension of the resilience of Tehran city. Extended Abstract Introduction: Today, societies are trying to achieve conditions that will provide them with a quick return to the pre-crisis situation in case of various accidents and damages. Therefore, in recent studies particular emphasis has been placed on resilience and the promotion of resilience against various accidents and crises has become an important and broad field, so the simultaneous and mutual movement of sustainable development and increasing resilience is currently being discussed. Urban resilience is one of the most important and key approaches that guarantee the survival of human settlements. Unfortunately, in recent years, the vulnerability of Iranian cities to unexpected incidents and accidents has increased, which has made the need for foresight in this field even more important. The ever-increasing speed of changes in the first decade of the 21st century has led to the emergence of an era called uncertainty and has placed an environment full of opportunities and threats in front of the current complex systems. In this unstable and rapidly changing environment, the traditional tools of planning will not be responsible for the medium and long term. During the last two centuries, and especially from the 20th century until now, a completely different approach has emerged in urban and regional planning, but the nature of planning, i.e. purposefulness, systematicity, and having future guidelines, remains intact. The important point is that the type of attitude and intellectual foundations that prevailed in different times have changed in the category of planning, which has caused the creation of different styles in planning. One of these approaches is planning based on the future research scenario. The importance of the issue comes from the fact that the city of Tehran has a population of 8,693,706 people, and this city, as the capital and the first metropolis of Iran, faces many challenges, including the ever-increasing population and the subsequent abnormal development of the urban body (in the event of an earthquake, witnessing a human disaster and fewer casualties in the world) we will be). The purpose of this article is to evaluate the spatial resilience of Tehran city from an ecological perspective and to provide suggestions and solutions by examining the current situation. Methodology: In terms of the purpose, the research is of an applied type, which was carried out by a descriptive-analytical method based on documentary library studies and field investigations. Considering the nature of the data and the impossibility of controlling the behavior of the effective variables in the problem, this research was of a non-experimental type and was carried out within the framework of the case-analytic model. The investigated community was the statistical block and all urban and residential uses of Tehran city, and the main data was obtained mainly by using the data of the urban blocks of the Iranian Statistics Center and the available documents, including the comprehensive and detailed plan. Available information layers, field observations, targeted questioning of municipal experts, and specific data produced in the software environment of the GIS geographic information system, as well as document and library study, have provided another part of the required information for the article. To achieve the objectives of the research, indicators in 7 categories including water transfer reservoirs, waste collection centers, water and wastewater treatment centers, green use and parks, brown and barren lands, fault lines, and air pollution based on existing land use studies and revision The detailed plan of Tehran city areas was extracted. In the following, for the spatialization of the studied indicators at the level of the texture of the regions, the method (Tracking Analyst Tools) has been used in the network analysis process (Spline Tools) in the ArcGIS software environment. In the second part, experts and elites (25 people) were asked to identify the most important components affecting Determining environmental-ecological resilience within the next 10 years. Finally, 18 variables were determined by Delphi, and MIC MAC software is used for data analysis. Results and discussion: In the analysis of the effect-dependency matrix, it is necessary to pay attention to the arrangement and ecological spatial distribution of the metropolis of Tehran with the model of future research in the framework of Figure 5(t). The pattern of this distribution will have a very direct relationship with the stability or instability of the environmental-ecological resilience system in the Tehran metropolis with a forward-looking approach; In such a way that stable systems, while having indicators with a high degree of influence and effectiveness, the variables also have a normal distribution in other levels of the diagram. And in unstable systems, the distribution of variables does not have the same normal pattern, and most of the indicators tend to be high or low. Therefore, according to the analysis, it can be found that the environmental-ecological resilience system of the Tehran metropolis is in an unstable state by considering the effect-dependency analysis diagram, and it indicates the instability of the influencing variables and the continuity of their influence on other variables. Each of the variables is placed in a certain place in the diagram according to the degree of influence. According to Figure 5(t), the position of the variables in the diagram indicates their status in the system and their role in the dynamics and evolution of the system in the future. Conclusion: The results of the evaluation, while at a high level, comply with the realities surrounding urban resilience in Tehran, in such a way that in the framework of prospective studies and by using the scenario approach, it is possible to measure the general state of resilience, and model Its stability or instability was also found from how the variables are spatially distributed on the level of graphs and figures output from Mic Mac software. Also, the almost high percentage of the filling factor (98%) in the research variables confirms the validity and reliability of the research tools at an almost high level. The information obtained from Figure 5(p) confirms the fact that ecological environmental resilience in Tehran metropolis is unstable and in such a way that the continuation of the current situation will lead to the formation of a disaster scenario and in the best case, if the current situation continues, the environmental resilience in Tehran metropolis and the continuation of the current drought situation, limited attention to the water resources management situation, the continuation of the current unfavorable situation and the destruction of the region's ecosystem, the ecological pressure on the resources, the continuation of the current situation of planning to improve the state of land use management and the growth of incompatible industrial uses within the regions which will ultimately lead to the continuation of the unfavorable situation of instability.

        The seldom formal study of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh reveals new dimensions about the mechanism of formation of this great work. Formalists were not the discoverers of literary devices and crafts, but showed their original, pivotal and constructive influences in great works. Shahnameh is a good arena for tracing these industries and is basically relying on formalistic arrangements that make it unmatched by its competitors in the epic genre. In the first part or the myths of Shahnameh, the use of many formalist industries can be seen as in other parts, but due to the importance of the origin, narrative and basis of this part, some formalist arrangements have been used by Ferdowsi in constructing its narrative. Have been. The present article has analyzed and identified five formalistic indicators used in the narration of this part of Shahnameh by descriptive-analytical method. The result indicates that the emphatic use of the capacity of symbols, the use of current constraints to create single propositions with high literature, the use of de-familiarization and accentuation in proportion to the strangeness of the mythical space, the high frequency of metaphor and The irony and finally the characterization of the narrative, which indicates the independence of relations in the mythical atmosphere, are among the most important factors that consolidate the narrative of the first part of the Shahnameh and create the necessary charm to make the audience loyal to follow the story.

        Increasing the volume of the world's major challenges facing resource constraints and rising food and protein prices. Using insects as food and feed for humans, livestock and poultry can be a good solution to this global crisis. Yellow flour cream is one of the most common sources of high-quality protein, used to feed small animals, birds, and fish. In this study, five different in vitro diets (25 1 1 &deg; C and 60 5 5 relative humidity, 16: 8 h light period (brightness: dark)) were used to grow yellow worm. In this study, wheat bran was considered as control. The results showed that the intrinsic growth rate, as well as the finite rate, increased significantly in the treatment of wheat and chopped wheat compared to the control, and the wheat and chopped wheat diet significantly increased the net and gross population growth rate, respectively, But the diet of cardboard and powdered bread reduced these two parameters significantly compared to the control. Therefore, the diet of cardboard and powdered bread had negative effects on the biological characteristics of yellow worm and wheat and chopped wheat diet had positive effects on the biological properties of a yellow worm. In general, the results of this study showed that the cultivation of yellow worm on different diets has significant effects on the life cycle of yellow flour, and wheat and shredded wheat can be a suitable diet in the future at a much lower cost and with less effort to grow worms.

        Braconid wasps (Braconidae) are one of the most important pest parasitoids. The function of parasitoids can be affected by the use of insecticides. In order to use biological control agents and pesticides simultaneously in pest management, it is necessary to know the effect of pesticides on biological control agents. In this study, the lethal and sub lethal effects of the flubendiamide, emamectin benzoate+lufenuron, thiocyclam and spinosad on the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Say) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were investigated. The LC50 of spinosad on parasitoid wasps were 1.25 mg/L of active ingredient, which showed that this insecticide is the most toxic compound on this insect and LC50 of thiocyclam, emamectin benzoate+lufenuron and flubendiamide were 19.99, 7.56 and 6.45 mg/L of active ingredient respectively, which were more toxic to this wasp, respectively. The results of bioassays on adult insects of parasitoid wasps showed that spinosad with LC30 was 0.71 mg /L of active ingredient with high toxicity on adult insects compared to flubendiamide, emamectin benzoate+lufenuron and thiocyclam, which were LC30, 3.67, 4.26 and 14.44 respectively. According to the classification of the International Organization for Biological Control, spinosad was in the group of harmful insecticides and emamtectin benzoate + lufenuron and flubendiamide were in the group of moderately harmful insecticides. According to this classification, thiocyclam was classified as harmless insecticide on bracon wasp. Manuscript profile

        The wasp Habrobracon hebetor (Say) (Hym.: Braconidae) is an external and social larve stage parasitoid of a large number of pests, including the raisin moth Ephestia figulilella (Gregson) (Lep.: Pyralidae). Wasps of the Braconidae family are one of the most important pest parasitoids. The performance of parasitoids can be affected by use of insecticides. In order to simultaneously use of biological control agents and pesticides in pest management, it is necessary to know the effect of pesticides on biological control agents. In this study, the side effects of Lufenuron and Hexaflumuron on the biological parameters of the parasitoid wasp H. hebetor in laboratory conditions and the host flour moth Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lep.,: Pyralidae) in the form of a two-factor randomized complete design, the first factor is the type of insecticide (Lufenuron and Hexaflumuron each with a consumption concentration of 500ppm) and the second factor is the wasp life stage including three stages (larve, pupa and adult insect) were performed with three repetitions (5pairs of wasps per repetition). Hexaflumuron and Lufenuron insecticides are chitin synthesis inhibitors and belong to the group of insect growth regulators. Consumption of these two compounds disrupts the normal activity of the internal secretory systems and disrupts the growth and development of insects. The results of the present study showed that the insecticides Lufenuron and Hexaflumuron have an effect on the life span parameters, the average total egg, the number of daily eggs, the hatching rate and the sexual population ratio of the wasp H. hebetor. Both insecticides caused a decrease in the mentioned parameters, and this decrease was more observed in Hexaflumuron insecticide than in Lufenuron insecticide. Also, the life stages of the insect affected the above parameters and minimal effects and changes were obtained in the pupal stage. Manuscript profile

        In the present research, the influence of 5 diets e.g. pistachio psyllid nymph, the cowpea aphid nymph Aphis craccivora Koch (Hem., Aphididae) (the common aphid species on the herbaceous plants in the pistachio orchards of Rafsanjan), maize pollen and mix diets of psyllid nymph+aphid nymph as well as psyllid nymph+pollen on development and reproduction of 11-spots lady bird, C. undecimpunctata aegyptica was studied. All laboratory experiments were conducted in controlled conditions, 27.5&plusmn;0.5&deg;C, RH 55&plusmn;5% and photoperiod 16:18h (L:D). The results indicated that pollen is not a suitable food for this species since both larvae and adults died when reared on this diet. However, the other four diets were considered to be the essential preys. The preimaginal stages of ladybird on psyllid nymph, cowpea aphid nymph and mix diets of psyllid nymph+ aphid nymph and psyllid nymph+ pollen were lasted 14.9, 11.9, 12.2 and 14.6 days on average respectively. The lowest mortality of larvae was obtained on mixed diet of psyllid+aphid, although it was the highest when they fed on psyllid+pollen. The emerged ladybird adults that fed on aphid nymphs during of the larval period were heavier than other diets. The female adults&rsquo; life span of ladybird on psyllid, aphid, psyllid+aphid and psyllid+pollen were 52.3, 61.1, 41.4 and 56.2 days, and their fecundity were obtained 826, 1947, 1281 and 727 eggs on average respectively. It was found that C. undecimpunctata aegyptica is considered as a psyllophagous coccinellid beetle although it is known as an aphidophagous ladybird too. The conservation strategy in pistachio orchards is recommended to increase the efficiency of psyllid natural enemies in pistachio orchards at this stage. Manuscript profile

        The solenopsis mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, 1898 (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), is a serious pest of plants in different regions of the world. This pest was recorded from south of Iran and causes highly damage on urban vegetation in recent years. In present study, life table parameters of Aenasius arizonensis (Girault, 1915) (Hymenoptera, Encyrtidae) were studied at laboratory conditions, on 3rd-instar nymphs and young adult females of Ph. solenopsis. Data were analyzed based on the age-stage, two-sex life table theory. Results showed that female and male immature periods of A. arizonensis on the 3rd-instar nymphs of Ph. solenopsis were significantly shorter in comparison with the young adult females. Also the fecundity of wasp parasitoid was significantly higher on the 3rd-instar nymphs than that of on the young adult females (170.90 and 150.00 eggs/female) on the 3rd-instar nymphs and young adult females, respectively. According to the results, intrinsic rate of increase (rm), finite rate of increase (&lambda;), gross reproductive rate (GRR), net reproductive rate (R0) and mean generation time (T) were 0.216 day-1, 1.241 day-1, 119.39 offspring/individual, 100.51 offspring/individual and 21.32 days, on the 3rd-instar nymphs and were 0.165 day-1, 1.180 day-1, 92.78 offspring/individual, 76.96 offspring/individual and 26.20 days on the young adult females, respectively. There was significant difference only between the mean intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase and mean generation time. Based on the results, the 3rd-instar nymph of Ph. solenopsis was more suitable host stage for A. arizonensis compare to the young adult females. Manuscript profile

Three insect species Urophora xanthippe (Dip.: Tephritidae) and Metzneria paucipunctella Zeller (Lep.: Gelechiidae) and Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi, 1794 (Dip.: Tephritidae( were identified. M. paucipunctella (Zeller, 1839) (Lep. Gelechiidae) is introduced for the first time for Iran and U. xanthippe (Munro, 1934) for the first time for fauna of Khorasan. Results showed that overwintering larvae of U. xanthippe become pupae in early May and converted to adult after 7/13 (d). Adults emerge from pupae and mate after 3 (h) with no feeding. Due to the high potential of head flies in reducing the number of seeds and also due to the limited host range of the knapweed, the insect can be used in biological control of knapweed.

        The spherical mealybug, Nipaecoccus viridis (Newstead) (Hemiptera, Pseudococcidae), is a serious pest of citrus and other cultural and non-cultural plants in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. The damage of the pest increased highly on citrus trees in Fars province in recent years. High reproductive potential and wide distribution the pest and problems of chemical control have led to a greater need for the use of natural enemies as IPM programs. In present investigation, some biological parameters of the encyrtid wasp Anagyrus mirzai Agarwal &amp; Alam, 1959, including developmental time, longevity, reproductive capacity and sex ratio were studied at laboratory conditions, 27&plusmn;1.5&deg;C, 60&plusmn;5% RH and 16:8h L:D, on 18 (3rd-instar nymphs) and 24 days old (young adult females) of N. viridis. The developmental time of female parasitoids within the host was 14.40&plusmn;0.79 and 13.45&plusmn;0.52 days in 18 and 24 days old nymphs, respectively. For males, the developmental time was 12.65&plusmn;0.68 and 12.30&plusmn;0.87 days, respectively. The mean longevity of female wasps was 14.25&plusmn;0.78 and 14.70&plusmn;0.69 days in 18 and 24 days old hosts; for males, this time was 6.40&plusmn;0.83 and 7.10&plusmn;0.74 days, respectively. The mean number of offspring per female was 32 and 47 in 18 and 24 d.o. mealybugs. The sex ratio (M/F) of the progeny was 1:1.11 in 18 d.o. and 1:1.33 in 24 d.o. mealybugs. The aggregate percentage of encapsulated eggs in the parasitized 18 d.o. mealybugs was 38.60% and 43.90% in 24 d.o. mealybugs. The percentage of efficient encapsulation was 14.40% and 20.10% in 18 and 21 d.o. mealybugs respectively. Manuscript profile

        Bacillu thuringiensis (Bt) produces crystalline proteins that are toxic to various insect species. In this study, Bt strains were isolated from the soils of some areas of Fars province and their toxicity on larva of Plodia interpunctella (Hubner) was investigated. For this purpose, 110 strains were isolated from the soils of Shiraz, Marvdasht, Fasa and Sarvestan. Initial identification of the isolates was carried out on the basis of Gram staining and morphological characteristics of protein crystals using phase-contrast microscopy. The protein crystals of the isolates were spherical and rhombic. Molecular analysis by PCR showed that 40&nbsp;isolates&nbsp;of the collection were contained Cry1 gene.The isolatestoxicity was studied on third instar larvae of P. interpunctella. According to the results of this study, 2&times;108 sporeml-1 concentration after 72 hours was considered as the most effective treatment and the three isolates sh20, g44 and FA-16 had the highest mortality (53.33%, 80% and 73.33%, respectively) onlarva of Indian meal moth. Isolates g46-29, g45-5, TA22, 35b, and E8 were ineffective on the third instar larvae of Indian meal moth. In general, the bioassay results showed that the strains isolated from the soils of the study area had considerable toxic effect on Indian meal moth larvae. We hope that introducing these native isolates of Bt will be an important step to produce domestic biological pesticides. Manuscript profile

        Bruchidius fulvus Allard. is a biological control agent of camelthorn weed (Alhagi camelorum Fisch.) in Birjand region, South Khorasan province, Iran. The beetle has been able to reduce seed production and consequently prevented more spread of this noxious weed in the region. In order to use the beetle to control the weed, the host preference of B. fulvus was studied under laboratory condition (25&plusmn;1˚C, 65&plusmn;5% R.H and darkness). The experiments was carried out in completely randomized design with 10 replications using the seeds of camelthorn and 6 other plant species from Fabaceae family including Phaseolus vulgaris L., Cicer arientinum L., Lathyrus sativus L., Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Sophora alopecuroides L. and Vicia villosa Roth. Results showed that the most number of eggs was respectively laid on A. camelorum, Ph. vulgaris, C. arietinum, L. sativus and V. villosa seeds. However, the larvae on plant species other than the camelthorn did not survive. It seems that B. fulvus is a monophagous species and can be used as a seed feeder agent of camel thorn in the region. However, further studies are essential to find out whether it is a specialist or not. Manuscript profile

        The green bug, Brachynema signatum Jakovlev (Hem.:Pentatomidae) is one of the most important active pentatomids on pistachio trees, that smudge the nuts with feeding on those that are premature. In this research, the parasitoid wasps of the pistachio green stink bug were collected and identified around the city of Rafsanjan using egg traps. Also, the effect of diet on longevity of two egg parasitoids, Ooencyrtus pityocampae (Hym.:Encyrtidae) and Trissolcus agriope (Hym.: Scelionidae) were determined. Treatments were honey, 10% honey-water, distilled water, B. signatum egg and control (without water and food). Five parasitoids, including Trissolcus agriope (Kozlov and L&ecirc;), T. dryope (Kozlov and L&ecirc;), T. mitsukurii Ashmead and Psix sp. of the Scelonidae and Ooencyrtus pityocampae (Mercet) and O. telenomicida (Vassiliev)of the Encyrtidae were collected and identified. The average longevity of the O. pityocampae in females were 45.15, 38.5, 9.30, 19.81and 8.23 days and in males were 39.15, 37.5, 7.80, 9.09 and 4.19days, respectively. This period for the T. agriope species in females were 30.93, 30.03, 13.25and 7.28 days and in males were 26.40, 22.38, 8.37 and 5.42days, respectively. The results showed that feeding has an effective role on increasing the longevity of the parasitoids and also a significant difference observed between the average longevity of two mentioned parasitoids. The longevity of female O. pityocampae wasps increased to 45.15&plusmn;1.37 days in the treatment of honey, but water hadn't effect on the longevity of this species. Also the longevity of this species was reduced to 9.09&plusmn;0.74 days in the presence of host eggs. The average longevity of Trissolcus parasitoid increased to 30.93&plusmn;0.79 days in treatment with honey. Therefore, kind of diet can have an important role on increment of parasitoid wasps' longevity. Manuscript profile

        The dwarf honey bee, Apis florea F. is one of the two species of honey bees in Iran which is found in southern, southeastern and western provinces. In present study, some morphological characters of dwarf honey bee and effects of geographic and climatic conditions on morphological changes were studied. For this purpose, 600 worker bees were collected from 30 colonies in Sistan-Baluchestan, Hormozgan, Kerman, Fars, Bushehr, Khuzestan and Kohkiluyeh-Boyer Ahmad during year 2010. Then, 17 morphological characteristics were measured and 10200 data were obtained. To determine geographical and climatic variables, average values collected by meteorological stations were used. Analysis of variance of morphometric characters showed that characteristic of hind metatarsus width had the lowest diversity. However, length of half loop over the third and fourth dorsal abdominal segments, length of hind leg and tongue had the highest diversity as the most distinctive morphological characteristics throughout the Iranian dwarf honey bee. The number of right wing hooks were more than left wing hooks. So, it is suggested to count just the number of right hooks. The bees from Kohkiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad were significantly larger than the other bees in length of the third and fourth dorsal abdominal segments as well as length and width of the front wings and hind leg, while, bees from Hormozgan and Bushehr were the smallest throughout the studied regions. There was a significant positive correlation between the width of the third and fourth dorsal abdominal segments, length and width of the front wing and length of hind leg. There was also a significant negative correlation between the length of tongue and length of fore wing and cubital index. Besides, there was a significant positive correlation within specification of the third and fourth dorsal abdominal segments, length and width of the front wings, and length of legs in dwarf bees with latitude, elevation and annual rainfall. Results indicated that bees from highlands are larger and also confirmed that wing of honey bees in elevated and high rainfall areas has less hook numbers. Manuscript profile

        Any change in food that reduces its quality value or reduces its popularity and marketing is called food spoilage. Ethylene gas is one of the gases produced from ripe fruits that causes high ripening and spoilage of the fruit during storage. Solutions have been suggested to absorb this gas during fruit storage. The aim of this study was to apply bio-filters to remove ethylene gas to increase the life of banana fruit after harvest during storage. Various samples prepared from agricultural wastes containing natural environmental microorganisms were evaluated in biological filters designed to remove ethylene gas and prevent spoilage of banana fruit compared to control samples. The gas chromatograph showed that the amount of gas passing through column 4, which contained peat soil substrates, poplar wood chips, enriched organic substrate, leaf soil, straw and creamy organic fertilizer was equal to 0.6528 ml of ethylene per liter of air. It had the highest ability to remove ethylene gas compared to other columns and showed a significant difference with the control sample. In addition, this filter was observationally effective in terms of shelf life of immature bananas compared to control samples, and biological filters containing Pseudomonas putida have the highest amount of ethylene gas absorption. Based on the findings, the use of biological filters is recommended to increase the shelf life of fruits in storage. Manuscript profile

        The trace fossil assemblages from the Unit 2 of Deh-Sufiyan Formation are described for the first time from The Central Alborz Range of northern Iran,&nbsp; improving the record of the assemblages in the Cambrian of the Middle East. Twenty-one ichnogenera have been identified in the Deh-Sufiyan Formation, namely Arenicolites, Bergaueria, Chondrites, Circulichnus, Cruziana, Diplichnites, Didymaulichnus, Diplocraterion, Halopoa, Helminthopsis, Gordia, Gyrophyllites, Lockeia, Monomorphichnus, Palaeophycus, Phycosiphon, Planolites, Rosselia, Rusophycus, Skolithos, and Treptichnus. Characteristics of the facies, lateral and vertical relations between these facies,&nbsp; associational types of the facies and the depositional profile of the shelf transect&nbsp; examined show deposition on a wave-dominated carbonate ramp. Integration of ichnologic data with sedimentologic information supports a&nbsp; firm interpretation of the depositional systems and their evolution. Ethological grouping of the trace fossils resulted from the physico-chemical depositional constraints which defines the proximal-distal ichnofacies gradient pattern of the wave-dominated successions of the Deh-Sufiyan ramp. Considering the obvious deepening of the shallow marine depositional systems of wave-dominated parts of the carbonate ramp, the succession of archetypal ichnofacies can&nbsp; display a bathymetric trend from deeper to shallower parts, and from lower-to-higher hydrodynamic conditions, from the&nbsp; bottom to the top of the Unit 2 of the Deh-Sufiyan Formation. The identification and interpretation of the archetypal ichnofacies are&nbsp; employed to further refine the sedimentary interpretations of parameters such as wave energy, substrate properties, nature of available food supply, salinity, dissolved oxygen content, and variability in sedimentation rates.

        In order to investigate the genetic diversity of canola cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete blocks with 9 rapeseed cultivars in 3 replications in Iranshahr region. After culture, DNA extraction was done using CTAB or Dellaporta method with some modifications and 6 pairs of RAPD primers were used for amplification. Also, at the end of the growing season, traits such as plant height, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, yield and seed oil percentage were measured.The results of the analysis of variance showed that the cultivars have a significant difference at the 1% probability level. Also, there was a positive and significant correlation between the studied traits. Cluster analysis of morphological-agronomical data of rapeseed cultivars in four main groups and cluster analysis of molecular data of rapeseed cultivars in three main groups. Cultivars placed in each group have more genomic similarity and cultivars placed in different groups have more genetic differences. In the analysis of the main coordinates of the molecular data, the first two components could not include all the information obtained, so this information indicates the wide distribution of these markers on the rapeseed genome and can cover a wide area of it. The results of this research showed that according to the diversity observed in the cultivars and based on the results of the grouping of genotypes, it is possible to select genotypes from groups that have a greater genetic distance from each other and use them for specific breeding purposes.

        This study aimed to investigate the effects of two types of fungi on soybean function and morphology. This experiment was conducted in a factorial design with inoculation of two types of fungi, Trichoderma and mycorrhiza, at four levels: inoculation with Trichoderma, inoculation with Mycorrhizal, inoculation with both fungi, and the control, in three replicates. The experiment was performed in two crop years (2020 to 2022) in a research farm. After the physiological maturity of the parts, 10 shrubs from each treatment were randomly selected, and the macro- and micro-elements and the percentage of oil and protein were measured according to the standard method. Based on the results, chlorophyll a and b, the number of branches, dry weight, leaf area, pod length, stem diameter, number of pods per plant, number of nodes per stem, and height from soil to the first pod were higher in the soybean grown in soil containing double inoculation of the fungi than the other treatments and the controls. The yield was 1.98, 2.14, 2.85, and 1.7 tons per hectare, respectively. Protein content was 40.31, 42.74, 43.04, and 39.89%, and oil content was 2487, 25.24, 25.94, and 24.17%, respectively. The contents of macro- and micro-elements in soybean leaves and seeds were significantly higher in the biological fertilizer containing the two types of fungi than others. Given soybean&#039;s relatively wide area of cultivation in Mazandaran Province (Iran), the confirmed benefits of these fungi in improving the plant&#039;s growth and development, and the necessity of preserving production resources, the studied fungi can be a suitable alternative to chemical fertilizers.

        To study the influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation and Putricine (Put) on the growth characteristics, essential oil content and yield of cumin plant (Cuminum cyminum L.), a two-year study as factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted in the Kohgiloueh and Boyer Ahmad Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center. The factors were AMF inoculation (non-inoculated and inoculated with Glomus mosseae (35 g of fungi inoculum containing 1450 spores), Put at three concentration (0, 1000 and 2000 mg:-1) and two irrigation regimes (irrigation after 20% (normal irrigation) and 60% (irrigation after draining 20% (normal irrigation) and 60% (severe stress) of the plant's available water). The results showed that drought stress had a significant effect on the vegetative traits, seed yield and essential oil content and yield of cumin, so that with the increase of drought stress the studied traits decreased drastically. The effect of arbuscular fungi and putricin on vegetative parameters, yield and essential oil content wasvery significant. Plants inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi had higher growth, seed yield and essential oil content in both drought stress and non-stress conditions compared to non-inoculated plants. Therefore, it can be concluded that in water-deficient conditions, inoculation of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and foliar spraying of putricin improve the growth characteristics, seed yield and essential oil of cumin plant.

        Nitrogen-based heterocycles have a prominent position in medicinal chemistry, and more than 75% of drugs approved by the FDA are nitrogen-containing heterocycles. &beta;-lactams are nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and are known as the core of penicillin antibiotics. Since the discovery of the structure of penicillin, several strategies have been introduced for synthesis of this group of compounds. In this regard, extensive studies have been developed on the stereoselectivity of synthetic methods. In recent years, in order to obtain compounds with specific biological activities, many researchers have studied the synthesis and modification of &beta;-lactam ring. In addition to antibacterial activity, this group of compounds has shown many other activities such as antifungal, anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, etc. In addition, they are also known as cholesterol absorption inhibitors and enzyme inhibitors. It is generally believed that the activity of this group of compounds is related to the chemical activity of the &beta;-lactam ring and the substitutions on this ring. In this review article, different kinds of synthetic methods and biological activities of synthesized monobactams, especially in the last 10 years have been discussed. Manuscript profile

        An appropriate plant density and weed control method is highly influential factor in the production of kidney beans with high yield. To examine the effects of plant density and weed control methods on vegetative and reproductive characteristics and yield of kidney beans, the Research Center of Agriculture in Khoy –W. Azarbaijan conducted a factorial experiment in the form of randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications from 2018 to 2019. In this study plant density at three levels of 20, 25 and 30 plants per square meter, and weed control methods at four levels of non-control, selective herbicide (bentazon ), manual control and application of general herbicide (paraquat) were chosen. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between plant density and weed control methods and lateral branches, number of pods per plant , grain yield, biological yield and protein yield; however there was no meaningful relationship between plant density and weed control methods and other characteristics such as plant height and the percentage of grain protein. The highest grain and biological yield were obtained at a planting density of 30 plants per square meter and manual weeding; afterwards, the manual weeding was followed at 3391 and 15275 kg/ha respectively and the highest percentage of grain protein at a density of 20 plants per square meter together with manual weeding was obtained at the level up to 24.8 %. The results also indicated that the manual control method was relatively effective and proved to be better than all other methods, with the consequence that herbicides by themselves were not effective in controlling weeds of kidney beans. Production of grain yield with a maximum density of 30 plants per square meter indicated that a positive response of kidney beans to the high density of the plants. Manuscript profile

        To study the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and inoculation of chickpea seed with bio-fertilizers on morphophysiological traits on yield and yield components of chickpea under winter and spring cultivation conditions, a factorial experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications in 2015 crop season on a field in Oshnaviyeh, W. Azarbaijan. The first factor consisted of sowing date at two levels of winter and spring, the second factor was inoculation with bio-fertilizer (control and inoculated with bio-fertilizer) and the third one was nitrogen fertilizer (0, 2.5 and 5 g m-2). The results showed that spring culture had higher catalase activity, higher photosynthesis rate and transpiration content and lower proline content compared to winter sowing. Seed inoculation with risotchic pi significantly increased proline content and catalase activity compared to control, the highest amount of peroxidase activity was observed in the combination of seed with risocchic pi and spring planting. The highest amount of proline and catalase activity was recorded in 5 g m-2 nitrogen fertilizer application. The highest relative water content and peroxidase activity were attributed to the combination of 2.5 g m-2 N fertilizer in spring cultivation. Also, spring cultivation and seed inoculation with Risocchic pi had the highest peroxidase activity. Finally, the winter planting with consumption of 5 g of nitrogen per m2 had the highest biological yield and the lowest photosynthetic water use efficiency and inoculation with Risocchic pi.

        The aim of this study was to explain the sociology of factors affecting women's participation in public sports in Gorgan. This research was a qualitative in which the Grounded Theory method was used. The statistical population of this study included elite female athletes, coaches and experts in the field of public sports, specialists and professors of physical education and sports sciences. Using snowball sampling method, 15 individuals were selected as the sample. In order to ensure the reliability of the obtained data, two methods of retest reliability and intercoder reliability were applied. Data analysis was performed in three stages of open coding, axial coding and selective coding. Based on the analysis, 46 open codes were extracted, which were classified into 5 categories (subcategories): personal barriers, family barriers, facilities and economic barriers, cultural barriers and social barriers. According to the results, it could be concluded that part of the barriers to women's participation in public sports were related to personal factors and the other part was related to environmental and social factors. It is suggested that by increasing women's awareness about the benefits of physical activity and also removing some cultural, environmental and social barriers, the necessary ground for women to participate more in public sports should be provided.

Then all were being interviewed. The research method was descriptive-analytical. Both field and library methods were used to collect data. In the first step, the educational and psychological concepts of the lullabies related to folklore culture were investigated.&nbsp; Then the educational and psychological themes of women lullabies of Fars Juyom region were considered.&nbsp; The findings revealed that based on child psychology the lullabies were not just a song to put the child to sleep, rather, lullabies had an effect on the child's progress and growth rate, increasing loving relationships between parents and children in families. The use of lullabies had an effect on relieving worries, treating mental disorders and psychological well-being of mothers. From a psychological point of view, lullabies provided a psychological, emotional and intellectual situation in which the mother expressed her hopes and dreams. Also, in the ancient region of Joym, lullabies for women were not just a song to put the child to sleep, but lullabies were like a medium through which women expressed their desires, wishes, prayers, curses and protests. In fact, lullabies had a&nbsp;&nbsp; hidden function in addition to the obvious function of a mother's song to put the child to sleep. Lullabies Joym's region were full of emotional and maternal aspect, which was visible in different levels of lullabies. Manuscript profile

In families with a religious attitude, the children's attitude is formed based on religious beliefs and these beliefs cause the formation of a religious characteristics in the children. If the mother did not have the intellectual ability and belief necessary to familiarize the children with authentic religious thoughts and beliefs, such children in dealing with striking ideas and thoughts would remain defenseless and their psychological health would be at risk. Mother's moods and traits, family authenticity, heart faith, ethics and mother's nutrition during pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy could be very effective in the child's upbringing and effectiveness of religious teachings.

        Aim: Depressed women have psychological problems that require interventions such as behavioral activation to reduce them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of behavioral activation therapy on learned helplessness and psychological toughness in depressed women. Methodology: The research design was a semi-experimental pre-test post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all the people suffering from depression in Babol city who had referred to psychotherapy clinics in Babol city in 2019. Thirty people who scored medium to high in the Beck Depression Questionnaire were randomly selected and assigned into two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group). The intervention group underwent 90-minute behavioral activation therapy from Leahy, Holland &amp; McGinn (2002) in 8 sessions once a week in groups, but no action was taken in the control group. Quinles and Nelson's (1988) learned helplessness questionnaire and Ahvaz Kiamarthi, Najarian and Mehrabizadeh's (1999) psychological toughness questionnaire were applied to them. Data analysis was done with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis using SPSS version 23 software. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The results of covariance analysis indicated that behavioral activation treatment had an effect on learned helplessness (F = 49.24) and psychological toughness (F = 17.58) in depressed women (P&lt;0.001). The amount of this effect in the variable of learned helplessness based on the square of the eta coefficient was equal to 52% and in the variable of psychological toughness, it was equal to 37%. Conclusion: According to the results of this research, behavioral activation can be used to reduce the psychological problems of depressed women and increase their toughness. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Marriage is seen as the initial step in starting a family, but nowadays there seems to be a fear or avoidance of this commitment among young people, particularly those who are educated. The purpose of this research was to determine the model of gamophobia among young people based on existential anxiety with the mediation of psychological hardiness. Methods: The current study is applied in terms of purpose, and descriptive correlational data collection method was used. The statistical population of the research included all students of the Islamic Azad University, Sardasht branch. The research sample was 358 students who participated in the research online and through available sampling method. Data collection tools included Richard's Gamophobia Questionnaire (2007), Good and Good Existential Anxiety Questionnaire (1974) and Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire (2017). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation method and path analysis through Smart-pls3 software. Results: The results indicated that the direct effect of existential anxiety was 0.609 and its indirect effect through psychological hardiness was 0.498 and the direct effect of existential anxiety on psychological hardiness was 0.309 and the direct effect of psychological hardiness on gamophobia was 0.320 significant (P˂ 0.01). Conclusion: Therefore, psychological hardiness can play a mediating role between existential anxiety and gamophobia. In this context, counseling and psychology specialists can consider this issue in pre-marriage counseling and even formulate interventions to reduce the gamophobia.According to Allameh (2017), many young people about to get married are experiencing anxiety and apprehension about the prospect of marriage and its associated challenges. Marriage phobia, also known as gamophobia, is a condition in which an individual is hesitant to commit and enter into a stable and honest relationship with another person. This involves making an agreement to remain committed for a long-term period (Soheili-nejad, 2021).According to research (Rezai, Rezapour-Mirsaleh, &amp; Aryanpour, 2023), the increase in gamophobia related to this is associated with a decrease in existential anxiety. Regrettably, in recent times, existential anxiety has been on the rise in younger generations, causing significant psychological harm. This type of anxiety often results in isolation and the withdrawal of young people from their communities (Hossieni Abardeh &amp; Ninam, 2021), which can lead to gamophobia among them.On the other hand, another variable that can be related to anxiety is hardiness (Bakhshipour &amp; Fardin Far, 2022). One's mental health is affected by various factors, including psychological hardiness. Individuals with high psychological hardiness perceive stressful situations as challenges to be faced, according to research (Kowalski &amp; Schermer, 2019). As a result, the problem of the present research was to test the mediating role of psychological hardiness in the relationship between existential anxiety and gamophobia.MethodologyThis research is focused on applying a structural equation model. The study gathered data from Islamic Azad University students, Sardasht branch with a sample size of 380 selected using available sampling method. To collect data, three standard questionnaires were used: Richard's Gamophobia Questionnaire (2007), the Good and Good Existential Anxiety Questionnaire (1974), and the Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire (2017). The data was analyzed using PLS software.ResultsAccording to Table 1, among the participants, the highest age frequency was related to the age group of 25-31 and the lowest frequency was related to 46-48.The results indicated that there is a relationship between existential anxiety and psychological hardiness, the hypothesis was confirmed with 99% confidence (T=5.695, p=0.000) (p˂0.01). There is a relationship between existential anxiety and gamophobia; the hypothesis was confirmed with 99% confidence (T=19.844, p=0.000) (p&lt;0.01). There is a relationship between psychological hardiness and gamophobia; the hypothesis was confirmed with 99% confidence (T=6.026, p=0.000) (p˂0.01).DiscussionThe first hypothesis showed that existential anxiety is related to gamophobia with the mediation of psychological hardiness. Regarding the relationship between existential anxiety and psychological hardiness, the findings of the present study are in line with previous studies (Gasiorowska, Zaleskiewicz &amp; Kesebir, 2018).The second research hypothesis indicated that existential anxiety is related to psychological hardiness. Regarding the relationship between existential anxiety and psychological hardiness, the findings of the present study are consistent with previous studies (Maddi, Deorah, Khoshaba &amp; et al, 2010).The third hypothesis of the research indicated that psychological hardiness is related to the gamophobia.ConclusionThe results of this research can help marriage and family counselors and also help colleagues and researchers for future research in determining the relationships of gamophobia.&nbsp;One limitation of this research was the absence of sufficient background information, making it challenging to clarify certain assumptions. Additionally, the use of questionnaires and quantitative data without measuring qualitative variables relating to gamophobia is another limitation that may impact the generalization of the findings. After analyzing the results, it is recommended to conduct training workshops for students to enhance their psychological resilience.&nbsp;AcknowledgementsWe extend our sincere gratitude to the students and officials of Islamic Azad University, Sardasht branch for their active participation in our research. Their cooperation is greatly appreciated.&nbsp;FundingThe article is taken from the doctoral dissertation of the first author entitled "Investigating the Relationship between Self-Esteem, Existential Anxiety and Conflict Resolution Styles with Gamophobia with the Mediation of Psychological Hardiness of Students of Islamic Azad University, Sardasht Branch."

        As the supply chain emerged, the industrial and service organizations began to focus on their suppliers, and as the industries and services developed, they understood that the supplier&rsquo;s proposed price has not been the only criterion to cooperate; but, the problem of supplier selection (SS) has been a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Besides, real-world problems have always been structurally complex. Therefore, due to ambiguity, high uncertainty, and imprecise information, the concept of fuzzy analysis was introduced. Now, we could use imprecise (fuzzy) information as the input of a fuzzy system, and the process of the system could employ approximate induction based on fuzzy logic. In this regard, studying the literature of SS and the criteria used for this purpose, we identify the most suitable criteria. To do so, primarily we designed an appropriate questionnaire, and then we used it to gather ideas of the experts to obtain the weights of the criteria in the fuzzy environment. Afterwards, using the Fuzzy VIKOR approach, we ranked the suppliers. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: the teacher's characteristics are usually one of the factors that influence teaching and its consequences are effective on the progress of students. Researchers have revealed that the best teachers are not necessarily the most experienced. The best teachers usually have a lot of enthusiasm and warmth in their teaching; they are sensitive to the progress of each student. They have positive relationships, high motivation and commitment.The purpose of this research is to present a causal model of the relationship between philosophical mindset and teacher self-efficacy on teaching quality with the mediating role of psychological capital and organizational commitment of elementary school teachers in Darab city.Research methodology: The method of this research is correlational and the statistical population includes all primary teachers of Darab city (210 people, 28 men and 182 women). To determine the sample size, 132 people were selected on the basis of Morgan's table and the relative stratified sampling method was used.Findings: The findings indicated that the highest direct effect is related to teaching philosophy on psychological capital (0.28) and the lowest direct effect is related to teacher self-efficacy on teaching quality (0.11). In addition, the largest indirect effect is related to the impact of teaching philosophy on teaching quality (0.12) and the lowest indirect effect is related to the effect of teacher self-efficacy on teaching quality (0.04).Conclusion: Psychological capital, like philosophical mindset and teacher self-efficacy, has both direct and indirect effects on teaching quality, with the difference that psychological capital, like teacher self-efficacy, has an effect on teaching quality only through the organizational commitment variable, and an increase in psychological capital leads to an increase organizational commitment and, as a result, an increase in the quality of teaching..

        The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on the perception of disease and psychological capital of patients with type 2 diabetes in Shahrekord in 1398. In this quasi-experimental study, pre-test-post-test design and control group were used. For this purpose, 30 people with type 2 diabetes who had a file in the Shahrekord Diabetes Association were selected using purposive sampling using the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). Data collection tools included Disease Perception Questionnaire (Bradbent et al., 2006) and Psychological Capital (McGee, 2011) which were completed by the participants. Then the experimental group underwent 8 sessions of 90 minutes of cognitive-behavioral therapy and finally the data using the method Analysis of covariance was analyzed. The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy improved the perception of the disease in patients with type 2 diabetes (p &lt;5%). The results also showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy increased psychological capital and its components in patients with type 2 diabetes (p &lt;5%). The cognitive-behavioral group intervention with the protocol used in this study was effective in increasing the perception of disease and psychological capital in the population with diabetes and this method can be used along with drug therapies for patients with type 2diabetes. One of the limitations of this study is the limited sample of patients with type 2 diabetes, which can not be a good and sufficient indicator for the community. Therefore, generalizing the results only to the target community is logical and possible, and for other levels we must do so with caution. Data were prepared using self-report questionnaires that may have response biases. Manuscript profile

        Translation is considered as one of the most effective means in making every nation&rsquo;s literature known to the world; although, regrettably, some formal and semantic aspects of the source texts dissolve by the ideological manipulation applied by the translator, even to such an extent that it can culminate in the distortion of the writer&rsquo;s philosophy and ideology. The translator's manipulation results in obliteration of the true image of the writer &nbsp;presented &nbsp;to &nbsp;other &nbsp;nations. &nbsp;Hence, &nbsp;a &nbsp;manipulated &nbsp;image&nbsp; of&nbsp; the writer, based on the translator&rsquo;s own ideology or the dominant ideology of his time is introduced into the readership. The present study, first, seeks to investigate the Edward Fitzgerald&rsquo;s rewriting of Khayyam&rsquo;s Rubaiyat from a theoretical viewpoint on his ideological manipulations; and then using concrete instances in the translation of Khayyam&rsquo;s Rubaiyat, illustrates the translator&rsquo;s exploitations from such well-known Persian poets as Hafiz, Sa&rsquo;di, Jami and Attar.

        Literary works of the Awakening and post-constitutional period have many social and political aspects and can be critiqued from a sociological point of view. One of the effective methods in criticizing literary texts, especially short stories, is sociological critique. In this method, the relationship between the structure and content of the story with the situation and changes in society is examined and how the artistic reflection and representation of society in the imaginary world of literary work is criticized and analyzed. The history of this kind of research and application of this method in Iranian short story criticism has proved the effectiveness of sociological criticism in short story criticism and study. Short story as a form of fiction was formed in Iran around 1300 AH by people like Jamalzadeh and continued its development along with literary currents. The first generation of short story writers, while getting acquainted with this emerging phenomenon, were able to create remarkable works and each of them followed a specific style that in the future, laid the foundation of Iranian short stories. In this research, the author has come to the conclusion through analytical-descriptive method and based on the theoretical framework of social criticism that the short story, like any other literary phenomenon, has continued to live in line with society and socio-political currents. Influenced and influenced by the community. Therefore, examining the content of this type of literature can be a new approach in the field of social studies. Manuscript profile

        One of the disagreeable character traits found in some individuals is their mistake in their unanalyzed comparisons they make due to the apparent similarities existing between two individuals or two phenomenon, and as a result influences their unacceptable judgments. This concept in Maul&acirc;n&acirc;'s Mathnavi sometimes is applicable in a full story like the story of the Grocer and the Parrot; the individual's mistake sometimes manifests itself amidst other materials. The mistake reaches the point that if they expect a difference between the Holy Prophet and others, this difference is in their food and sleep and other worldly indications referred to even in the Holy Koran; in any case, probably the summary and the gist of the subject can be best found in Mathnavi's beautiful and famous verse that is: &nbsp; K&acirc;re nik&acirc;n r&acirc; ghias az khod magir &nbsp; &nbsp; garcheh b&acirc;shad dar neveshtan "shir" shir &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The word "shir" is ambiguous in that it means "lion" and "milk" Manuscript profile

        Drilling mud is one of the most important and basic requirements for drilling oil and gas wells. Optimization of drilling fluid properties leads to reduce drilling time and costs. Water-based drilling mud is one type of drilling fluid that is mainly used in drilling wells due to its environmental compatibility. In this research, in order to increase the efficiency of this type of drilling fluid, graphene and silicon oxide nanoparticles in equal weight ratio in water-based drilling mud have been used. This study investigates the effect of different concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1% volume fraction) of these nanoparticles on different properties of drilling fluid such as plastic viscosity, yield point, gel strength of 10 minutes and 10 seconds, circulation loss of the samples and the coefficient of thermal conductivity are discussed. All rheological properties tests are performed according to the standard (API RP 13B). The transient hot wire method has been used to determine the thermal conductivity of the fluid. The results show that the increase of nanoparticles has a significant effect on the rheological and thermo-physical properties of water-based drilling mud and reduces plastic viscosity (15%), decreases circulation loss of the samples (25%) and gel strength and also increases the thermal conductivity by 16% in the volume fraction of 1%.

        One of the important issues in sustainable development is the discussion of consumption and development in line with existing environmental potentials. Increasing population growth and, consequently, increasing and changing consumption patterns have increased the pressure on the natural environment and its limited resources. Consumption and development patterns in the country, especially in the northern cities, are often without regard to the ecological potential of the land, as it leads to severe damage to the environment and the ecological potential of the land. Continuation of the process will cause the inability of the natural environment to meet the needs of the population and activity, and as a result, numerous crises will occur. Therefore, the need to change consumption patterns and move in the context of environmental supply to a sustainable situation is inevitable. From this perspective, the Ecological Footprint Index is a good tool for measuring the progress of societies towards sustainability.The purpose of this article is to plan spatial development in Sari city according to the assessment of the level of sustainability and ecological footprint index. The research is of applied-developmental type and its method is descriptive-analytical. The results show that the ecological footprint in Sari is 2267853 hectares, which indicates a per capita of 4.50 hectares per person. Considering that the per capita biological capacity in Sari city is equal to 1.18 hectares, this city is facing an ecological deficit of 3.32 hectares per person. Finally, goals and strategies have been adopted to reduce the ecological footprint in various dimensions, including the use of land based on their ecological potential, the use of new materials to reduce energy consumption, smart and intensive growth pattern, changing patterns He mentioned the consumption of energy and the use of clean and environmentally friendly energy.

        The main issue discussed in the present research is study of conflict (tazahom) between Iranian society&rsquo;s national interests and its ideologicalreligious position. Rationale of the present research is that one of the objections posed concerning the relation between &ldquo;national interests&rdquo; and &ldquo;ideological-religious position&rdquo; of Iran is conflict between the latter and former after victory of the Islamic Revolution and establishment of the Islamic Republic in the context of international political relations. The present study which is based on a descriptive-analytical methodology and uses library methodology to gather data, comes to the conclusion that: the Iranian society&rsquo;s national interests are coherent and compatible with its ideologicalreligious position and identity; and, as a matter of fact, the Islamic identity of the Iran&rsquo;s system and State constitutes and underlies the national interests. Furthermore, even if we accept conflict and inconsistency [of ideological-religious position] with some components of the national interests, it can be removed through implanting the rules of conflict in the practical approach of the jurists, i.e. the rule of possible and the rule of preferring the more important.

        The art of inscription writing represents a valuable legacy that delves into the political wisdom of Iranians. The content of these inscriptions, as implied by their name, comprises ethical, religious, political, and social admonitions from the elite and statesmen of the time to the sovereign. The epistolary style of the inscriptions paints a portrait of the ideal king and the aspirations of Iranian elites. By considering them as a crystallization of one of the most important forms of wisdom, one can identify a ruler who possesses both Iranian and ancient roots as the ideal king. This paper explores the concepts and structures of Darius the Great's rule by studying the Behistun Inscription. Here, the structures of the ideal ruler in the Behistun Inscription, using the phenomenological method and within the theoretical framework of Parato Elitism, are examined in both the mental and tangible dimensions. It seeks to answer the question: What are the attributes of the ideal ruler in the Behistun Inscription? What characteristics should this ruler possess to be recognized as the ideal sovereign, beyond obtaining the competence of governance?. Manuscript profile

        &nbsp; Purpose: Since the classroom environment is important in the process of teaching and learning as well as emotional and cognitive development of students, therefore, the primary purpose of this study is assessing the classroom Socio-psychological in order to identify school internal structure and its relation with student&rsquo;s creativity in 2010-2011 academic year. Method: The present study is&nbsp; an applied research, and according to its method of collecting data it is considered to be a descriptive-survey study. Its statistical population consists of all male fifth grade students in public elementary school in 2010-2011 academic year. Some 378 students were selected through combining methods; multistage cluster sampling and proportional stratified sampling. Two researcher-made questionnaires were used for collecting data (classroom Socio- psychological environment questionnaire with 48 items and creativity questionnaire with 18 items). Their face validity were investigated, and their reliability (0/84) and (0/76) were calculated and confirmed through Corenbach&rsquo;s alpha coefficient. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percent, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (binomial test and stepwise multiple regression) were used for describing and analyzing the collected data. Result(s): The findings of the study indicate that for the fifth grade students some of the components (having teacher support, maintaining order and organizing contents) are assessed desirable, some other components (participation, mutual&nbsp; interests among students, importance to work and homework, observing and applying the rules and regulations) are assessed as relatively desirable, and educational innovation was considered as undesirable component. The results of stepwise multiple regressions in the study also showed that the three components of Socio- psychological environment (educational innovation, having teacher support, and mutual interests among students) have the power of anticipating creativity. Conclusion: Sincere and warm environment and emotional learning can promote teachers and students creativity, and thus it can lead to school improvement. Since classroom environment is the main decision maker of class behavior and learning therefore, to some extent it is able to anticipate the creativity of students. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Natural glaciers as one of the main surface water resources are of a significant importance in the recent time.Remote sensing technology is an important tool in locating and estimating the area of the regions covered withice and snow especially in the out- of- reach mountainous regions. Identifying the morphodynamic changes bymeans of remote sensing is an essential requirement of the management and assessment of natural resources; oneof its methods is to provide the map of changes according to remote sensing images and to use the Geomaticasoft ware. We chose Damavand Yakhar glacier due to its activity and morphodynamic changes during the recentyears. To discover the changes, we used calculation algorithm for changes intensity by subtracting parallel bandson satellite images and principle component analysis (PCA). Finally we located the hydrothermal areas in theglacier by extracting line mentums and combining different bands of TM and ETM scanners in geomatica software. The results of this research show that the area of Yakhar glacier is retreating and its present size is 1.8km2.The main causes of its retreat are the decline of glacier recharge and the heat of smoke emerging fromDamavand volcano.

        The main purpose of this study is to study the geomorphological instabilities resulting from the Ozgeleh earthquake in Kermanshah and Ilam provinces using field studies and satellite images and their zoning. The region affected by this earthquake is very prone to various movements and geomorphological instabilities. The reasons for this are the presence of young Zagros folds along with the operation of their cutting faults, which have caused severe fractures in the region. To conduct this study, first, the geomorphological instabilities of the index that were effective in intensifying the damage caused by the earthquake were identified. Then, using topographic maps, geology, satellite images and field operations, their location was determined. These instabilities include landslides, rock falls and avalanches, currents, hilltop ruptures, and landslides. Using multi-criteria decision making (MADM) method, the study area was zoned in terms of instabilities. The zoning results showed that the two very high risk classes and the high risk class with a total area of ​​6558 square kilometers, i.e. more than 28% of the study area and among the factors affecting the occurrence of instabilities, land age factors Histology, distance from fault and slope with 0.23, 0.22 and 0.15 points, respectively, have the greatest impact on creating instabilities in the region. The adaptation of the instability zoning map to the instability distribution map indicates the greater adaptation of the instabilities, including landslides, rock falls, and subsidence, to high-risk classes.

        Today, the use of Islamic sources in the human sciences, especially psychology, is considered one of the necessities. The plan to introduce Islamic ideas into the realm of psychology, in order to achieve Islamic models in the field of prevention, recognition and resolution of psychological problems, is one of the most important issues in this field.

The common attitude towards humans in today's western psychiatry and psychology emphasizes the biological-psychological-social aspects of humans and does not pay attention to the spiritual aspects of humans, while Islamic sources are full of psychological thoughts and emphasis on the spiritual aspects of humans since This science, like other human sciences, is influenced by cultural and religious factors, its crude use may be incompatible with the cultural structure of Islamic society in Iran. While respecting the scientific findings, it is necessary to consider the suitability and compatibility of the findings of psychological science with belief and religious foundations. Since Islam is the last and the most complete, the most comprehensive and the most extensive religion in the world and has clear and constructive recommendations for all stages of human life, it is necessary that the main source of psychology in the Islamic country is based on Islamic ideas and principles.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of each of the components of personality dimensions and basic psychological needs to the academic engagement of students. Method: This research was descriptive and correlational and the statistical population of the study consisted of 200 students (100 females and 100 male) from Kharazmi University students in the academic year of 1995-96. They were selected by stratified random sampling method. Personality dimension questionnaires (Costa and McCarey, 1992) completed the basic psychological needs (Deci and Ryan, 2000) and academic engagement (Zarang, 1391). Data analysis was done by stepwise regression method. Findings: The findings of this study showed that among the components of personality dimensions, only two components of responsibility and mental disorder (in total 21%), as well as among the components of the basic psychological needs of the two components of autonomy and competence (total of 3 / 19%) share the prediction of students' academic engagement. Conclusion: The basic psychological needs in educational and family environments can be effective on the internal motivation and as a result of school homework and academic engagement of learners.

        With the recent advances in the application of biotechnology in various sciences, the preparation of liquid bio-formulations and microcapsule suspension/powder from the important antagonistic fungal agent Talaromyces flavus has been investigated in recent years. In the first year of this research, a type of liquid bioformulation, a type of microcapsule suspension, and a type of microcapsule powder were prepared for use in tomato greenhouses. During one year, commercial greenhouses were investigated in tomato greenhouses in two regions of Yazd and Isfahan with a history of Fusarium wilt disease. The treatments in each study of the commercial greenhouse were 1-3) each of the liquid formulations, microcapsule suspension, and microcapsule powder by soil application, 4-6) each of the liquid formulations, microcapsule suspension, and microcapsule powder with the tomato seedling root dip, 7) Talaromin fungicide by soil application, and 8) a control (without any formulation and fungicide application). The results indicated that all three formulations in both application methods (soil application or seedling root dip and seed impregnation for tomatoes and cucumbers, respectively) significantly increased the yield of tomatoes compared to the control. Altogether, microcapsule powder with seed impregnation and liquid formulation with soil application were the most effective treatments with approximately 50% and 60% increases in yield compared to the control, respectively, for the management of tomato Fusarium wilt disease. According to the obtained results, the production method of these formulations is considered technical knowledge, and it is possible to carry out their commercialization steps. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, given the growing trend of population and population density in urban areas especially in densely populated cities and in terms of seismicity, the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach to natural and catastrophic events resulting from their occurrence has become more apparent. The detrimental effects of over-population concentration in specific urban areas along with a lack of preventive planning and the lack of preparedness to deal with events such as earthquakes is a very serious and important threat to citizens and the continuation of urban life. In this study, District 8 of Tabriz was selected as a case study. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the purpose of this study is to evaluate and model for predicting seismic vulnerability based on physical-spatial indices of Tabriz considering the quality criteria and providing a suitable model and pattern for construction in Tabriz. For this purpose, out of 9 criteria, building density, population density, quality of buildings (accessibility), access to pedestrian networks, access to essentials, access to open and green spaces, land use, size of fragments, and distance. Dangerous centers have been used. Necessary statistical data is collected, then layers are prepared for seismic zoning and layering is done according to zoning standards. The final analysis was performed using the combination of AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS methods in GIS (proposed method). Finally, the risk level of the study area was obtained from Tabriz city. The results show that the northern areas have the highest risk areas and the southern areas have the least rate, and finally, it is concluded that the proposed model for risk zoning is applicable.

        The decrease in the level of Lake Urmia is evidence of climate change and anthropogenicity. This decrease in level has led to an increase in salt area, salt storms and salinization of groundwater. It is one of the major environmental challenges in northwestern Iran. Fluctuations in lake level, decrease in water level of plains and decrease in river discharge are evidences of hydrological changes in Urmia Lake basin. The present study tries to provide a clear picture of the water changes of Urmia Lake during the last three decades. Hydrological data and images of Landsat satellite for Urmia Lake basin in the period 1984-2017 were studied using remote sensing and statistical methods. The classification of satellite images was performed using the maximum likelihood method. According to the results, the highest decrease in the area of the lake between 2001 and 2013 happened. Also, the analysis of the results showed that along with the very important role of global warming on the water volume of Lake Urmia, humans have been able to be one of the most important regional factors in creating the challenge of Urmia Lake. In fact, the water problems of Urmia Lake, especially after 2001, are a combination of climatic and anthropogenic factors. Manuscript profile

        the lithological maps is inevitable in the preparation of rock unit&rsquo;s erosion susceptibility maps. In this study, rock unit outcrops in the Soh Basin (50 km Northern Isfahan) were extracted using nonlinear correlation analysis of satellite data. Moreover, rock unit&rsquo;s erosion susceptibility such as marl, shale, and quaternary deposits and resistant rock units such as sandstone and limestone were extracted based on soil erosion intensity factors. The lithology of the basin was studied usingthe virtual variables method. Initially, rock units, as a virtual independent variable, and the PC1 (the first principal component) of ETM+ multispectral bands were by amultiple linear regression model. Afterward, rock units were in logistic regression analysis as virtual dependent variables. The results revealed that logistic regression analysis is a suitable model for rock unit&rsquo;s extraction.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        In recent years, the importance of environmental protection has increased. On the other hand, the phenomenon of urbanization, which is increasing every day, is one of the main challenges of climate and environmental changes. To control and manage the conditions, it is very important to pay attention to the concept of ecological development. This concept has a long history and theorists such as Sarda, Howard, Geddes have studied the form and human life in the field of urban planning. In this descriptive-analytical article, according to the records and opinions of experts, based on 12 criteria, the assessment and prioritization of the ecological indicators of Yazd city were discussed. In reviewing the results, the neighborhood security index with a weight of 0.2345 was the most important and the private vehicle ownership index with a weight of 0.0092 was the least important. According to the purpose of the research, which considered the ecological limitation, solutions were proposed, which are: carrying out urban development plans using multi-criteria decision-making and paying attention to the power of the environment, strengthening the security body of the city, strengthening the engineering and expert body of the municipality.

        The defense mechanisms are the mental reactions of a person to the tensions which affect one&rsquo;s spirit and could be taken to the edge of disintegration. Defense mechanisms, unintentionally, materializes tendencies and behaviors which protect the person against tensions. Escape mechanism is a mechanism which emerges in case of redundant psychological pressure on a person and disposes the person from unpleasant events. People unintentionally avoid the problem in order to forget stress, rage and failure. During this escape, one could retrieve the lost peace and balance to some extents. Although in this escape, negative consequences could be expected, this option is occasionally inevitable for human spirit. Studying Ghazaleh Alizadeh&rsquo;s works reveals her special attention on the behavior and the reactions which people demonstrate when facing the problems and considers defense mechanisms as the reason of some behaviors in her novel&rsquo;s protagonists. This article analyzes the escape related behaviors by studying them, based on psychology and rooted the escapes which were somehow a reaction to the stress induced on the characters during their lifetime. The results of the study show that women mostly and occasionally men, look for a shelter to forget the anxiety while facing failures and tensions.

        Myth alongside the epic, legends and popular culture, is one of the elements that form the culture and ethnic and national identity of societies and a charter of social beliefs that is produced in the cultural context. The subject of myth is not separate from the study of religious rituals and it can be considered as a tool that explains existing beliefs and institutions by referring to religion. "Sin" as an action or behavior is an important concept; to the extent that cultural events related to it cannot be understood without understanding the concept and its motivating effects. "Darab" and "Ulysses" as mythological heroes, are cultural figures, and the subject of their "sin" is also placed as an action in the category of culture. In addition to exploring the hidden and implied meaning of the text, the theory of comparative mythology of Georges Dumezil also pays attention to the social/cultural context. The findings of this research, which was carried out in a descriptive-analytical method, showed that the trajectory of a myth and her sin in the two civilizations of Iran and Greece is clearly defined. Themes such as "deception by demons", "doubt in the creator", "pride and claim of divinity", "achieving power and fear of losing power", "disobeying the command of gods and goddesses", " Killing ritual beings and heroes", "disrespecting to fire and sowing the seeds of hatred in the human institution", is the basis of the most sins among Iran and the world. The research findings indicate that there is a fixed structure in Indo-European mythology; which remained in these cultures over the centuries and despite the geographical expansion and reforms of different religions, their traces can still be found after many years.

        Bustan is the whole body of the ethical, humane, and idealistic society of Saadi, in which he describes human social behaviors. By providing practical strategies for improvement of human behaviors and relationships, he addresses many problems and mental and emotional conflicts of the people of the society at that time and even the present time. He has taken the advantage of the effective tool of anecdote and used the characters as the most important factors in forming the anecdotes in order to deliver his ethical and humane messages. The goal of psychology is also recognition of the aspects of human character as well as presentation of strategies for his more growth and self-awareness. In this study, we have criticized the behaviors of the characters of Bustan&rsquo;s anecdotes in a descriptive, analytical, and quantitative way according to Jung&rsquo;s theory of personality psychology. We have first identified the compatible and investigable anecdotes based on Jung&rsquo;s view on personality psychology; then, the components of personality psychology of the main characters in those anecdotes have been analyzed, investigated, and assessed in chapters, respectively; and the results are shown in the form of table and graph. According to the investigations, among the nineteen investigable anecdotes based on Jung&rsquo;s view on the personality psychology, the components of introverted personality type with eight anecdotes and about 42% were more frequent than other views of Jung.

        Bacteriophage refers to viruses that specifically infect bacteria.that are mainly used in medicine and veterinary medicine and have recently been considered for control diseases. The use of phages in the biocontrol strategy of plant pathogens is due to their ability to kill bacteria, as well as the observation of phages in the same bacterial host environment, the possibility of being combined with other bactericides and having a relatively low price. Although there are considerable doubts about the use of bacteriophages as effective biological control agents But the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and possibility of transferring antibiotic resistance to human pathogens and the emergence of copper-tolerant strains among plant bacteria have led to a renewed desire to control disease based on bacteriophages . So far, phage therapy has been successfully used against agents such as bacterial spot of mushrooms, beans leaf spot,soft rot , but the advantage of phages over antibiotics for treating pathogens is their ability to mutate . The major problem of phage-based biological control is the conversion of successful laboratory experiments into effective control methods against the pathogen at the field level. For this purpose, it is necessary to gain a complete understanding of the ecology and the complex host-phage interaction in different plant environments in order to maximize the use of phages as a biocontrol method. In this article, an attempt has been made to review the potential of bacteriophages in the biological control of plant pathogens and introduce its advantages and challenges Manuscript profile

        The effectiveness of Azotobacter-enriched vermicompost tea and non-chemical treatments were investigated on the control of tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta. The experiment was performed in greenhouse with five treatments (vermicompost tea, azotobacter-enriched vermicompost tea, takumi pesticide, Azotobacter and control) with four replications in a completely randomized design. Three days after spraying, the numbers of larval tunnels on leaf and thirty days later, the numbers of adult moths of T. absoluta were counted. The results revealed that tomatoes treated with Azotobacter enriched vermicompost tea and Takumi had the lowest number of adult moths (9.35 and 13.75 per plant respectively). As well as, the azotobacter treatment was able to reduce the adults moth by up to 50% compared to the control. The results of the number of larval tunnels showed that the mean number of larval tunnels/plant for Azotobacter enriched vermicompost tea was 19.50, which compared to other treatments, had the best effect in reducing the damage of tomato leaf miner. Vermicompost tea and Azotobacter as biological fertilizers, besides being able to increase the yield of tomatoes, have an effective role in reducing the population and damage of the tomato leafminer pest, and they can be used in sustainable agriculture as an alternative with pesticides.

        Bell pepper with the scientific name Capsicum annuum L. belongs to the Solanaceae family. Among the major pepper diseases, root rot caused by the fungus Rhizoctonia solani has the economic importance. The common method to control this disease is to use the chemical fungicides. In order to control Rhizoctonia root rot disease of bell pepper, a number of commercial biological agents based on Trichoderma harzianum, Glomus sp. mycorrhizal fungus, Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. bacteria and three chemical fungicides Tebuconazole, Copper oxychloride and Mancozeb were investigated in greenhouse conditions. The analysis of variance showed that the treatments had significant difference (P&le; 0.01) in all the examined traits. The mean comparisons of the treatments were evaluated based on disease inhibition traits including the length of the necrotic tissue with the largest wound and the disease index and plant growth promotion traits, including plant fresh weight, plant height, root dry weight and shoot dry weight. The treatments of negative control (no pathogen) and fungicide tebuconazole had the greatest effect on most of the traits, and the treatments of Potabarvar and Mycoroot and positive control (with pathogen) had the least effect. Among the biological control treatments, based on the lowest disease index and the lowest wound length, the combination of biological agents, Parsbacil, Probio96, Alkagreen, Trichoran-P and Tricho were ranked respectively. In the study of agricultural traits, biological treatments, combination of biological agents, Parsbacil and Probio-96 showed the highest values. In the management of this disease, apart from the chemical control method (Tebuconazole), the best option with a relatively similar statistical level was Parsbacill combination (SC) containing Bacillus velezensis strain M11-RTS, and Probio-96 containing Bacillus subtilis bacteria (P&le; 0.01).

In quantitative indices such as nematode population in soil and roots in infected P. loosi environments, neemarin(neem extract) treatment was most effective. There was no significant&nbsp; difference observed between the treatments in green leaf index, but the increase in yield was observed in comparison with the control. The results of this study showed that the use of neemarin and tobacco waste can improve the quality indices in addition to reducing the population of nematode in soil and root and as an important biological factor in controlling nematodes.

        Chemical control and biological control are an important part of integrated pest management (IPM). Insecticides affect the physiology or behavior of insects, posing risks to non-target organisms. The green lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea which is the best predator natural enemies to control pests on farms, orchards and forests of the country widely perceived to be in nature and play an important role in preventing the rapid proliferation of pests and shall have the vital balance The green lacewing most attention as a promising biological control agent released against pests in greenhouses, farms and gardens has attracted. In this study, the effects of sublethal doses of Primicarb, Imidacloprid and Oxydemetonmethyl against Chrysopa carnea Stephens (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) were determined and compared. The results showed that these insecticides at LC30 had significant effect on the stable population parameters. Intrinsic rate of population increase (r) values for control&sbquo; Primicarb, Imidacloprid and Oxydemetonmethyl were 0.142&sbquo; 0.141&sbquo; 0.140 and 0.134 (day-1), respectively. According to our results, there was significant differences in Imidacloprid and Oxydemetonmethyl rate of population increase (P&le;0.5) compared to the control; also, three insecticides had significant effect on survival rate and life expectancy compared to control. These results provided that Primicarb had lower toxicity on C. carnea but theoretical basis for the rational use of Imidacloprid and Oxydemetonmethyl insecticides and the utilization and protection of C. carnea.

        Bacteriophage refers to viruses that specifically infect bacteria. Bacteriophages are mainly used in medicine and veterinary medicine and have recently been considered for the control of plant diseases. The use of phages in the biocontrol strategy of plant pathogens is due to their ability to kill bacteria, as well as the observation of phages in the same bacterial host environment, which indicates their ability to survive in the same host environment. Phages have been used as a part of the integrated management of diseases due to their easy and convenient use, the possibility of being combined with other bactericides or alternating use with pesticides, and having a relatively low price. Although there are considerable doubts about the use of bacteriophages as effective biological control agents, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the concern about the possibility of transferring antibiotic resistance from plant pathogens to human pathogens and the emergence of copper-tolerant strains among plant bacteria have led to a renewed desire to control disease based on bacteriophages in modern agriculture. So far, phage therapy has been successfully used against agents such as bacterial spot of edible mushrooms (Pseudomonas tolasi), bacterial leaf spot of mango beans, soft rot caused by Pectobacterium species, apple and pear blight (Erwinia amylovora), potato scab (Streptomyces scabies), geranium bacterial blight (Xantomonas hortorum pv. Pelargonii), tomato bacterial spot (Xantomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria) have been used. It is true that bacteria can become resistant to phages in a manner similar to that seen in antibiotics, but the advantage of phages over antibiotics for treating pathogens is their ability to mutate and infect new hosts. The major problem of phage-based biological control is the conversion of successful laboratory experiments into effective control methods against the pathogen at the field level. For this purpose, it is necessary to gain a complete understanding of the ecology and the complex host-phage interaction in different plant environments in order to maximize the use of phages as a biocontrol method. In this article, an attempt has been made to review the potential of bacteriophages in the biological control of plant pathogens and introduce its advantages and challenges Manuscript profile

        The effectiveness of Azotobacter-enriched vermicompost tea and non-chemical treatments were investigated on the control of tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta. The experiment was performed in greenhouse with five treatments (vermicompost tea, azotobacter-enriched vermicompost tea, takumi pesticide, Azotobacter and control) in four replications under a completely randomized design. Three days after spraying, the numbers of larval tunnels on leaf and thirty days later, the numbers of adult moths of T. absoluta were counted. The results revealed that tomatoes treated with Azotobacter enriched vermicompost tea and Takumi had the lowest number of adult moths (9.35 and 13.75 per plant respectively). As well as, azotobacter treatment was able to reduce the adults moth by up to 50% compared to the control. The results of the number of larval tunnels showed that the mean number of larval tunnels/plant for Azotobacter enriched vermicompost tea was 19.50, which compared to other treatments, had the best effect in reducing the damage of tomato leaf miner. Vermicompost tea and Azotobacter as biological fertilizers, besides being able to increase the yield of tomatoes, have an effective role in reducing the population and damage of the tomato leaf miner pest, and they can be used in sustainable agriculture as an alternative with pesticides.

        Biosurfactants are amphiphilic surface active molecules that are produced by microorganisms such as the bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Nowadays, these compounds are highly regarded in pest management due to their low toxicity, biological decomposition, optimal activity in harsh environmental conditions and environment-friendly nature. Recently, the insecticidal activity of biosurfactants obtained from different bacterial species has been reported. Therefore, considering the role of biosurfactants in the production of new insecticides and the environmental management of pests, in this paper, the use of biosurfactants in controlling agricultural pests and the direct antimicrobial activities of these compounds against plant pathogens have been investigated. Also, how the immune system of plants is stimulated by rhamnolipids and lipopeptides, which leads to plant resistance against plant pathogens, has been investigated. So that further research in this field can lead to the replacement of these biological pesticides instead of synthetic ones, and in the future, the effects of these pesticides on pests' histology and the optimization of their production can be studied.

        The purpose of this study was to provide a zoning map of susceptible areas to Fusarium head blight disease of wheat ear; the obtained model was compared by fuzzy logic method with the zonation map obtained from reports of Plant Protection Research stations in Golestan province. For this purpose, the average of humidity, temperature and precipitation parameters were determined for 45 days in autumn wheat growth period in the stage 65 of the Zadox scale. According to the opinion of plant pathologists and the time of occurrence of Fusarium head blight in Golestan province, preparation of zoning maps was determined through early-April to mid-May period in three days intervals. A total of 15 zoning maps were created and susceptible areas to disease were identified in this model. Zoning was classified into four categories: safe (0-25%), low risk (26-50%), hazard (51-75%) and high risk (76-100%).Validation of the results was admitted by Kappa coefficient method. The results showed that if the spikes were in the susceptible growth stage, the incidence and development of the disease would be predictable from early-April to early-May in the determined areas with a validation of 76%. The symptoms of the disease are not recognizable in the spikes during the mentioned period. The results of this study can be helpful for researcher and related experts in forecasting the disease and decision making of disease management at the best time. Manuscript profile

        The Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Camaldulensis) extract contains eucalyptol as active ingredient and has disinfectant and antifungal properties. Its fast degradation and very less toxicity for mammals has caused attention toward its use as a safe pesticide. Its efficacy in controlling the mycelial growth and spore germination of Alternaria alternata the causal agent of Alternaria leaf spot of potato under laboratory condition has been approved. During 2011, the efficacy of 5, 10 and 15% of its EC formulation in controlling Alternaria leaf spot disease of potato was conducted in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications under green house condition. Fungicide mancozeb 0.2% was used for better comparison. Results indicated that all three eucalyptus concentrations with 24.80, 16.28 and 9.29% disease incidence respectively showed significant differences at 1% level of probability in controlling the disease compared to control. Eucalyptus formulation (15%) and mancozeb were kept in same statistical group. By increasing the percentage of eucalyptus formulation its phytptoxicity was increased. Percentage of phytotoxicity in 5, 10 and 15% of eucalyptus formulations were 4.02, 10.65 and 21.34% respectively. Further studies are needed for omitting its phytotoxicity, so that it might be used as a safe bio-fungicide in controlling Alternaria leaf spot of potato. Manuscript profile

        Consumption of milk and meat from infected animals may lead to human diseases. Aflatoxins (AFs) are toxic secondary metabolites produced mostly by Aspergillus species. Among microorganisms, fungal toxins, especially aflatoxin B-1 (AFB1), are of particular importance. Aflatoxin M-1 (AFM-1) is a metabolite produced by the conversion and hydroxylation of AFB-1. Although various technologies (physical, chemical and biological) have been developed, tested and applied to reduce the harmful effects of mycotoxins, including aflatoxins (AFs), universal methods are still not available to reduce the level of AFs in feed and food in the past decades. . Dairy cows when fed aflatoxin B1 may excrete aflatoxin M1 in milk as a result of dietary exposure. This mycotoxin is completely resistant to temperature, so heat treatment such as pasteurization and ultra-pasteurization is not enough to inactivate it. Considering that some microorganisms have the ability to degrade aflatoxins and the extent of this degradation is strongly related to the type of microbial strain, therefore, conducting more and extensive studies on its use in food can help in adopting strategies to prevent some diseases and thus improve human health. be important&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Abstract The Microcellular foams are a group of foams which have a lot of micro cells in the size of about 10 microns. In these foams, neutral gases (Nitrogen or Carbon dioxide) are used as a foaming material. Because of their small sizes, these foams have better mechanical and physical properties (such as fatigue strength, yield strength and de-electrical and thermal properties) than non-foamed plastics. In this study, the mechanical properties of polystyrene microcellular foams have been studied. The rate of relative density, the size of the cells, the structure of the foams and yield and fatigue strength have been studied and measured. To achieve an optimal structure, the results show that temperature and time of foaming should be controlled carefully. This condition is in the temperature of about 100&deg; c and the time of 100 second. Also, the tensile strength of the foamed sample has been reduced and the rate of energy absorption has been significantly increased. Manuscript profile

At such a rate the surface temperature of the object will increase so that at this temperature the most metals melt or even evaporate. Specially, this problems occur in launch into space when return to the atmosphere is critical and thermal protection is targeted. These protectives which are mainly known as heat shields, protects projectile substrates that may be of manned, against extreme heatfluxes. Heat shields materials destroy by absorption thermal energy used in the evaporation process and endothermic reactions and protect its lower layers, hence study on the sacrificial material is important.

        The issue of this paper is analysis and evaluation of the mechanical behavior of an optimized rotating magnetorheological damper. The present damper consists of one rotating disc that placed in the closed cylindrical box and filled with magnetorheological fluid and rotates about its axis with constant speed. By applying an electric current through the coil which is wrapped about the cylinder, a magnetic field is produced inside the cylinder. It leads to change the nominal viscosity in magnetorheological fluid and consequently changes the resistant torque against disc rotation. This behavior can conduct us to manage damping ratio by controlling the input electric current. For the purpafter optimizing the geometric parameters of a designed damper, the effect of electric current intensity on mechanical behavior of damper is modeled. Manuscript profile

        This research attempts to select the suitable areas for tourism development using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and Ecological capability evaluation. It regulates the relationship between socio-economic impacts and land use changes to monitor the sustainable development and determines the potential or types of use that land can naturally have. In this research, in order to identify the environmental potential of Shahrood County for tourism, GIS as the best suitable technique for land evaluation and site feasibility was used along with Index Overlaying (IO). Thus by identifying the ecological resources of the region, in a scale of 1:250000, map layer information was dispatched to the ArcGIS to overlay. This research was done in 6 stages. After preparing the slope, aspect and elevation layers, they were overlaid in ArcGIS and the landform layer was produced. Then, the overlaying of landform, land use, soil, vegetation and wildlife layers resulted in the final environmental units. After that, the ecological models of extensive and intensive tourism in Iran were used for comparison and analysis. According to the results, the study area has high potential for tourism. The suitable area for intensive outdoor recreation encompassed 68.8% of the area associated with class 1 and 19.1% with class 2; and extensive outdoor recreation included 93.2% class 1 and 5.3% class 2. In addition to this, 13.6% of study area was allocated to conservation because no part of this area is suitable for tourism activities. In the end, appropriate activities for each zone are recommended. Manuscript profile

        Due to the development of cities, a number of issues emerge as crucial problems in every-day life of human beings. One the one hand, the urban development, which is one of the essential aspects for the life and survival of human beings, cannot be limited, and on the other hand, it should be arranged in harmony with the needs of human being in a way that it does not damage environment. In the present study, it was intended to identify the optimal sites and districts for urban development through determination of environmental features, especially geomorphological features and the analysis of these features. In order to analyze these features, 13 indices were used. Each of the layers was fuzzed in the environment of Geographic Information System (GIS) through integration of Fuzzy Logic and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In the next step, multiplication operator, fuzzy addition, and fuzzy gamma were operated through multiplication of weight of layers resulted from AHP in each of the layers. The optimal gamma in ArcGIS was categorized in 5 proportion classifications. The results indicated that 9 percent of the studied site is categorized in the low-proportion class and 16.5 percent in high-proportion class. The map of the presented model determined the districts with potentiality of spatial development with respect to the past trends as well as suitable districts for future developments. Accordingly, Northern, Eastern, and Northeastern districts of Shahrekord City are the best and most suitable ones for future development of the city. Manuscript profile

        The limitation and scarcity of groundwater resources in Darab Fars plain has caused this plain to be in a critical situation and in the forbidden group. With proper management, the capacity of available surface and groundwater resources can be well identified and studied to make a comprehensive plan for their proper use. The use of GIS along with observational data leads to easy and systematic estimation of groundwater recharge areas. The purpose of this study is to identify the potential of groundwater resources using AHP model and fuzzy functions in GIS environment. To assess the potential of groundwater resources, 10 geological criteria, fault density, altitude, slope, land use, soil, geomorphology, precipitation, drainage density and distance from rivers were studied and analyzed. The layers were prepared in a GIS environment and then the potential of groundwater resources was modeled using fuzzy logic functions. The results showed that the use of 0.98 gamma showed more favorable results than other numbers. Areas with high groundwater potential were determined with high accuracy. To validate the model, exploitation wells in the region have been used. About 63.62 percent of this type of wells are located in areas with good and very good potential. Areas with good and very good potential correspond to the terrace reserves, alluviums and sediments of the fourth period and have a low slope (0-5 degrees). About 31 percent of the watershed is in two categories of good and very good potential. Manuscript profile

        The research is applied in terms of purpose, explanatory in nature and combined method (qualitative-quantitative). The data collection method is library-documentary. The statistical population was formed by 124 experts and experts from the government agencies of the city of Tehran. Probability and stratified sampling method. The tool for collecting information is the questionnaire of the type of closed questions. For the future research of Tehran city management and to investigate the desired drivers, the criteria influencing the development management of Tehran city have been ranked using the TOPSIS model based on the experts' score. By examining these criteria, possible, probable and desirable scenarios have been developed. The aim of the current research is scenario planning and explanation of the development of urban management with an emphasis on earthquake vulnerability management with a future research approach using GIS. The indicators used for medical centers and hospitals were population density, open spaces, distance from the fault, road network. In the fuzzy inference zoning maps of AND operator, 1453.13, 499.17, 154.9, 35.11 hectares are located in very low, low, medium, high and very high risk areas, respectively. In the OR zoning model, 7.02 hectares are in the very low risk category, 35.11 hectares are in the low risk category, 358.19 hectares are in the medium risk zone, 1755.85 hectares are in the high risk zone, and 2156.18 are in the very high risk zone. The results of the research show that Among the evaluated criteria, the emphasis on the decentralized and integrated management structure with a score of (0.967) has taken the first place. Based on the future research method in Tehran city development management, three scenarios were formulated. The first scenario: change in the structural criteria of Tehran city management (integrated approach in urban planning and management). The second scenario: change in the functional criteria of Tehran city management. The third scenario: Governance is digital democracy. In this zoning, the most vulnerable areas are located in the northern part of the city.Therefore, in the zoning map resulting from the AND operator, more relief and relief centers will be needed in times of earthquakes. In the OR zoning model, 7.02 hectares are in the very low risk category, 35.11 hectares in the low risk category, 358.19 hectares in the medium risk zone, 1755.85 hectares in the high risk zone, and 2156.18 hectares in the very high risk zone. Therefore, the largest area in this zoning model is in the very low class, and this logic considers many areas without risk due to the convergence between criteria, and only a very small part of the center of the study area has been identified as having a high risk. And finally, the zoning model of the GAMA operator, respectively, 185.23, 557.92, 595.88, 643.62, 158.76 hectares were in the very low, low, medium, high, very high risk classes, and the medium risk class covered most of the study area. In this zoning, the most vulnerable areas are located in the northern part of the city. Manuscript profile

        Numerous archaeological sites in Iran are currently facing neglect and vulnerability, resulting in the potential damage and loss of invaluable artifacts. This unfortunate situation leads to the erasure of these sites' rich culture, history, functionality, and appearance. Site Museums hold the potential to play a highly efficacious role in achieving comprehensive protection, as well as fostering the cultural and historical development of these sites. As centers dedicated to culture and history, they assume a pivotal role in the preservation and maintenance of our cultural and historical heritage. Showcasing these artifacts provides an opportunity for history and culture enthusiasts to become acquainted with the rich tapestry of a region's history and culture. This research endeavors to identify key indicators within a flexible theoretical framework for the creation of Site Museums, emphasizing a conservation and tourism approach. To accomplish this objective, the research unfolds in two stages. Firstly, it addresses the necessity of establishing Site Museums and highlights the importance of paying attention to archaeological sites through a comprehensive review of the literature, examination of theories pertinent to this field, and the analysis of previous Site Museum experiences worldwide. Secondly, through the documentation of two foreign and two domestic Site Museum experiences, and employing the SWOT analysis method, the research provides theoretical insights aimed at enhancing the construction of Site Museums. This knowledge can subsequently inform the development of more effective policies in this domain. The methodology employed in this research is both descriptive and analytical. The findings underscore that the creation of Site Museums stands as one of the most potent strategies for preserving archaeological sites and uncovering their historical, functional, and educational dimensions.

        Due to suitable environmental conditions, some caves have been the center of human settlement and human activities for a long time. Therefore, the sedimentary layers of the bottom of the caves and their rocky walls always contain valuable evidence of the cultural evolution of human societies. Moneh Cave is one of the ancient places of Landeh County in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, which has been the focus of past humans due to its special conditions. The emergence of disputes and conflicts among the residents of the area due to their unauthorized excavations in this cave provided the ground for its archaeological excavations. The archaeological research on the cave led to the identification of three halls and a communication corridor between the halls. In addition, the exploration of two boreholes in this cave brought the time of its use to the Late Chalcolithic Age until the late centuries of the Islamic era. During this period, the herdsmen of the region temporarily used the cave. The survey of the surroundings of the cave also led to the identification of the remains of large stone walls, 200 meters west and northwest of the cave. The thermoluminescence dating of the pottery of this cave indicates that they belong to the Abbasid period. Manuscript profile

        In the last few decades, the rapid development of technologies has caused extended and rapid changes in various aspects of human life, from architecture and social structure to clothing and food. Therefore, today there are few places and communities that have remained away from these changes. For this reason, it is very important to record the information available in such places that have preserved their traditional foundation to help in the recognition of archaeological findings and the analysis and interpretation of data. Two villages of Tang Mansouri and Nukhan in Kermanshah Province are among the few communities that have remained far away from the changes of the present age and have been able to preserve their traditional way of life to some extent. Accordingly, the two mentioned villages were considered the most suitable options for conducting ethnoarchaeological studies and hence, they were selected for this research. These two villages have been studied simultaneously and a comprehensive description of them has been presented by investigating different aspects of life. By comparing the data, suggestions are made to help archaeologists make a more accurate analysis of their findings. In addition, the pattern of waste disposal, which is very important in archaeological explorations and interpretations, has been emphasized and the landscape of the archaeological sites has been discussed.

        Urban expansion in recent decades, especially in the peripheral areas of Tehran and Karaj, has led to the expansion of areas that were villages surrounded by gardens on the outskirts of Karaj before the revolution. Mardabad/Mahdasht, which became a city in the not-so-distant past (1991), has expanded rapidly and the gardens and historical monuments around it, like many other cities in Alborz province, have been destroyed or exposed to destruction. Tepe Mardabad is located in Mahdasht town, eleven kilometers southwest of Karaj in Alborz province. The site has been registered as number 2252 in the list of national monuments of Iran in 1998. Mardabad is located in the northwestern of Mahdasht town, exactly on the border of residential houses and agricultural lands, residential constructions in recent years have severely threatened, destroyed, and encroached on the southern and to some extent eastern parts of the site. In the spring of 2016, an archaeological excavation was carried out on the site to recognize the core and buffer zone. Tepe Mardabad is one of the highest ancient mounds in Alborz province, there is evidence of the cultural sequence from the 6th millennium BC to the Middle Islamic era in this area. Certainly, conducting scientific and more extensive excavations on this site will lead to obtaining much more accurate archaeological information. However, according to surface pottery evidence, the site has a long chronological sequence: Late Neolithic period (Sialk I / 6th millennium BC), Transitional Chalcolithic/Cheshmeh Ali (Sialk II/late 6th/early of the fifth millennium BC), Iron Age I (the end of the second millennium BC), the historical period and the Islamic era.

        Whenever researchers come across a new point concerning Sassanid history, succeed in deciphering an inscription, or discover and understand a new cultural work, they invariably turn to Sassanid relief carvings, which have long been famous and considered valuable sources of the Sassanid period. Precious reliefs, which, as authentic criteria, can serve to measure documents obtained from historical and archaeological studies, giving rise to important discoveries and results, represent a large portion of the Sassanid arts, cultural political and religious practices. Since the rise of the Sassanid dynasty is important in the process of Iran's history, it is necessary to clarify the exact status of archaeological findings - especially its rock reliefs be remove their historical content from any ambiguity and darkness. Studies show that (1) The donor of the royal crown to Ardeshir Babakan in one of the reliefs of Naqsh-e Rajab, Fars is none other than Ahura Mazda. Attributing this character to a high priest or any other mortal character has no scientific basis or rationale; (2) The marriage of Ardeshir Babakan with Ardavan V&rsquo;s daughter and the birth of Shapur I as a result of this marriage, is false, and derived from a folk legend.

        Urmia City, the capital of West Azerbaijan Province in northwestern Iran, holds a rich historical background with numerous Islamic era structures. Despite this, the historical-cultural evidence in Urmia has been less studied due to its location beneath urban and residential buildings. In 2017, due to the digging operation for the restoration and organization of the eastern side of the Urmia Grand Mosque, evidence of evidence of architectural structures and cultural artifacts was obtained. However, disputes led to the suspension of the restoration operation. Subsequently, in 2019, archaeological excavations were initiated to identify architectural remnants and understand the site's cultural layers. Aligning with the excavation's objectives and the General Department of Cultural Heritage's goal to establish a museum site, two trenches were excavated. Notably, evidence of cultural materials from the Sassanid period beneath Islamic-era structures was uncovered. This paper, while studying and relative chronology of cultural findings of the Urmia Grand Mosque, compares them with findings of Sassanid sites in western Iran. The data of this research has been collected by documentary and field methods, and this study has been carried out by descriptive-analytical approach. Manuscript profile

        Stratigraphy is a basic method in filed archaeology. The main purpose of the stratigraphy is data gathering for relative chronology and sequence explanations. This paper has provided descriptive information of the Borj settlement, east of Neyshabur, which is located in a prehistorically unknown area. Accompanied with descriptive information, this paper discusses about tow theoretical facts in stratigraphy; the first is the surface layer and being surface layers. In this discussion, the possibility of layer change during upper layer construction and its material culture has been presented. The second fact is the original organizer of the remains, structures and deposits of each layer. This factor is the archaeologist interpretation according to layer context during stratigraphy. a framework is suggested to assess the value of each layer and its information based on the second fact. Having the presented facts in mind can help the archaeologist to realize the chronology and the sequence and provides the formation process explanations based on layers and soundings. Borj sounding information presented that the context of the sounding has been under use in the end chalcolithic and the beginning of Bronze Age. Interpretation approach and two-presented fact in a theoretical perspective have led the way to the interpretation of sounding condition. The existence of alluvial deposits in the lower layers, the existence of two heights in chalcolithic era, and border condition of the sounding are some of the presented interpretations.&nbsp; 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.

The investigation was carried out in Abhar and Khorramdara counties with the objectives of identifying and recording artifacts, studying the pattern of settlements, studying the cultural connections of this area with other parts of the country, and as a result, 257 ancient artifacts were identified. The identified works were very diverse and mostly included ancient sites and mounds that were probably old village centers. The study of pottery and other surface finds indicates that the Abharrud region has been inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic period, and the settlement in its various parts continued until the late Islamic era.

        JeyranTappe Cemetery of Jezlandasht is located in Zanjan province, Tarom city, near the village of Jezlandashht. As a result of two exploratory excavations in this cemetery, valuable findings were obtained regarding to Iron Age. These findings reflect the burial tradition in the cemetery, including jewelry, weapons and pottery. Although only 8 graves have been explored in this cemetery, the variety of pottery related to their form is significant. Generally, 44 intact potteries were collected from JeyranTappeh Hills, which were classified into 13 species based on shape and form. These species include pots, cups, bowls, saucers, pots, jars, small containers with rounded bodies and flat floor, glasses, pots and tubular containers. Some of these species are divided in to sub-species. These containers are brown, gray, black, and mostly wheel maker. In terms of the number and quality of gray potteries, they have a higher number and quality than other pottery. Based on the study and comparison of the pottery, there are similarities between this site and the sites such as Godin, Dilman, Hasanlu, Gholi Darvish, Khorvin, Pardis, Gui Tappe, Dinkhah, Haphtvan, Hassan Bolaghi Cemetery in Zanjan Province and many other sites related to Iron Age. There are the most similarities between this site and other Iron Ages cemeteries such as Marlic, Ghale Coti and Dilaman. It is most similar to the Gilan Iron Age cemeteries, such as Marlik, Qaleh Kuti and Dilman. Based on all this information it can be said that JeyranTappe is related to Iron Age II. Based on the information obtained from the potteries it may be said that this cemetery was used in Iron Age II period.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Archaeology is at a cross-road. With increasing human interference in natural landscapes, more and more archaeological remains come under threat of destruction. In the meantime, with diminishing funds for archaeological fieldwork &ndash; in both research and salvage &ndash; as a result of global economic problems, fewer and fewer archaeological sites can be studied or rescued. To add insult to injury, the gap between archaeological theory and archaeological practice keep widening. While a considerable amount of literature on archaeological theory appears on a regular basis, archaeological practice remains basically the same as previous generation or the generation before that. The only progress in this area is new or more advanced techniques for recovery, analysis, and dating of archaeological material. In this paper, the author argues for a more engaged practice of archaeology which is capable of producing tangible results that would improve the quality of life for ordinary people or prevent environmental disasters (e.g., soil salinization, desertification) from happening by adhering to the data recovered from archaeological fieldwork. A certain degree of purely academic and research objectives of archaeology may have to be ignored for the time being, but it seems to be a necessary sacrifice to ensure the future of archaeology.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Zanjan province, especially Abhar Rud basin, located in the middle of three cultural-geographical zones of the central plateau, west and northwest of Iran, is an important but unknown region as far as archeological studies are concerned. Climatic features, unique geographical situation and the exceptional location of the region on the natural pathway from the central plateau to northwest of Iran, have made this region attractive to all human groups from very old times. The geographical situation and location clearly explains why Abhar Rud basin is significant in archeological studies of Iran. However, we have little information on the changes that the region has undergone during prehistoric eras and about its relations with other cultural regions. Therefore, doing archeological researches, especially regional surveys, seem necessary. Knowing about the settlements pattern of the region can help us understand the interactions between this region and its neighboring culturalgeographical regions. Thus archeological surveys in the basin were carried out in two seasons between the years of 1382 and 1384. The surveys provided us with valuable information about the history of the settlements in the region. Here we will present the results of the archeological surveys carried out in the region and we will try to analyze them.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Meimak District is located in southwestern part of Ilam Province, along with Iraqi border to the east of the Mandali region. The district had not yet been targeted by any archaeological investigation until the current survey was directed in the winter of 2011 resulting in discovering 13 sites. These include 4 prehistoric, 1 proto-historic, 4 historic and finally 4 late Islamic sites. The prehistoric sites contain early, middle and probably late paleolithic periods together with Samarra, CMT and Ubaid 2-4, while the only proto- literature site indicates both late Uruk and Jamdet Nasr materials. The survey has also offered some evidence from early to middle Elamite through Parthian and Sassanian periods. However, the late Islamic remains show the temporary pastoroal occupations as those are being presented today in the district.

        Archaeology has changed the boundaries of knowledge of the human past from very limited oral literature and written history to a three-million-year history. Despite this, archaeological excavations also means the destruction of ancient monuments, unless the principles of exploration and information recording operations are followed very scientifically and accurately. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to express information about the issues and problems that an archaeologist practically faces when exploring in ancient cemeteries. Especially since today most of the members of archeology are students and since there has been no case-by-case article written about the method of exploring the cemetery for the use of students, it seems that this article can be a small step for students to take big steps.

        Kordian distrct is located in the east and south east of Jahrom region, Fars, Iran. The archaeological survey of Kordian district was conducted in 2014, led to identifying 57 sites. The all identified sites are divided in 12 groups: Cave-sites, watchtowers, castles, Chahar taqi, Carvanserais, Tappeh-sites, bridge and dams, mills, cemeteries, cisterns, holly shrines and an old route. No prehistoric Tepes were found in the survey. Nonetheless, the first extensive settlements in the region were revealed in the Sassanid period. It seems that, control of water resources by dams, cultivating fertile lands and trading through the Persian Gulf, were the factors of rising settlements in this period. Some dispersal Islamic settlements were also identified. It is likely that, the main subsistence economy in this period was horticulture and agriculture and the main resource of water was Qantas. With prosper of trade in the Safavid period, through the southern Persian Gulf harbors, the trading routes, which were passed from the Kordian district, were so dynamic. The existence of different Caravanserais and description of tourists indicate the dynamic of these routes. In sum, it seems that, easy access to the water resources, fertile lands and trading and traveling routes were the main factors in the distribution of sites. Manuscript profile

        The Hellenistic period is one of the most controversial in the history of Iran. Most of our information from this period drives from accounts of Greek classic historians and geographers such as Strabo, Poliny, and Apian which give us an ambiguous picture of Seleucid period in Iran. In spite the fact that the Seleucids established their rule over a large part of western Iran for a long period and founded several cities archaeological evidence for the period are few and scanty. The chance discovery of the Greek inscription of Antiochos III in 1943, which refers to the temple of Laodicea, was a turning point in the archaeological and historical studies of Seleucid period in Iran. In addition to the Greek inscription, invaluable finds including bronze figures of Greek deities, stone altar, capital-column, and characteristic potsherds of Seleucid period have been found in historical area of Do- Khaharan (two sisters) northeast of Nahavand city which attest the existence of a Greek temple in the region. In general, historical records and archaeological evidence introduce the city of Nahavand in western Iran as an important centre from the time of Seleucid to the end of Sassanian period. This article presents results of archaeological sounding which was carried out in 2005 and 2011 to find the location of Laodicea temple. Manuscript profile

        Patients experiencing dyspepsia without ulcers often encounter psychological challenges necessitating therapeutic interventions. This semi-experimental study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness and life therapy on cognitive flexibility and psychological capital in such patients. The research employed a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population comprised individuals aged 25 to 50 diagnosed with indigestion without ulcers at Tuba Gastroenterology clinics in Sari and Ghaemshahr cities in 2022. A total of 45 participants were selected through available sampling, with 15 each in the experimental groups (mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and life therapy) and the control group. The experimental groups underwent eight sessions of therapy once a week for 90 minutes. Data were collected using the cognitive flexibility questionnaire by Dennis and Vanderwal (2010) and the psychological capital questionnaire by Loutans and Olive (2007) at pre-test, post-test, and a two-month follow-up. Mixed analysis of variance and Benferroni's post hoc test were applied for data analysis in SPSS version 24 software. Results indicated a significant main effect of both cognitive therapy groups, with 53% of cognitive flexibility and 44% of changes attributed to the interventions. Furthermore, a significant difference was observed between the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and life therapy, with the former showing a greater impact on cognitive flexibility and psychological capital (P &lt; 0.01). The findings suggest that both cognitive therapies based on mindfulness and life therapy can effectively enhance cognitive flexibility and psychological capital in patients with dyspepsia without ulcers.Keywords: Cognitive Flexibility, Dyspepsia without Ulcers, Life Therapy, Psychological Capital, Cognitive Therapy, Mindfulness.1.

        One of the most important destinations that has affected the world&#039;s tourism trends over the past decades is rural centers. The growth of short-term trips has transformed these destinations into major tourist centers, and this phenomenon is evident in the decrease in the average length of stay of tourists in many destinations worldwide. Villages are multi-purpose tourist destinations and play a significant role as centers of tourism activity. Archaeology has made significant contributions to the understanding of past cultures and civilizations and has brought fresh perspectives to the social sciences and arts. The methods of conducting archaeological research and the process of reaching desired results are of considerable interest to the general public, especially those who are interested in sensory and tangible exploration; therefore, the best approach to popularize archaeology is to establish its connection with tourism. Tourism shares common fields of knowledge and activities with archaeology and has made significant efforts in the development, preservation, revitalization, and enhancement of structures and monuments resulting from archaeological activities. Now, due to the common issues between archaeology and tourism, they can establish a close relationship in the cultural field. This research aims to focus on ancient and historical works as tourist attractions and as factors generating income and long-term development needs in this sector, which leads to the necessary groundwork for the sustainable development of tourism based on a historical and cultural approach. This analysis is a mixed methodological approach based on observation, interviews, questionnaires, and statistical data Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of sowing date on the physiological growth indices of maize, an experiment was performed in the form of randomized complete blocks with three replications in Varamin at 2015 year. The treatments included five sowing dates (9th of April, 21th of May, 18th of June, 30th of June and 15th of July) and the cultivar of Karoun (single cross 701) used. In each of the 5 to 7 day periods of each plot, 5 plants were randomly selected and the traits studied in connection with this study included: total dry weight, leaf area and leaf dry weight to draw the curve of physiological growth indices of maize plants during the growing season. The results showed that the effect of sowing date was significant on the maximum leaf dry weight, total dry weight, leaf area index (LAI), relative growth rate (RGR), crop growth rate (CGR), specific leaf area (SLA) and fresh yield. In the meantime, the fourth sowing date (30th of June) had the highest maximum leaf dry weight, total dry weight, leaf area index, CGR and fresh yield, and the second sowing date (21th of May) was superior to the rest of the sowing dates in terms of maximum RGR and SLA. The CGR was reduced in different sowing dates after reaching its maximum and eventually became negative. According to the results of this study, maize sowing in the first decade of July can be recommended for Varamin region. Manuscript profile

        The present study was conducted to identify the resistant bacterial strains from Kermanshah oil wastewater based on molecular 16S rDNA PCR sequencing and the investigation of their growth in different chromium concentration. To identify 16S rDNS, 94 samples were isolated from Kermanshah oil wastewater. Sequencing the best strain for most removal was conducted. Bactria were identified by morphology, Gram staining, Biochemical tests, Standard microbiology. Cr (VI) was incubated in the concentrations of 25, 50, 100 and 150 mg/ml for 96 h. The maximum Cr biosorption (0.35 ppm) was observed at 28&deg;C and a pH=7.5-8. Biological oxygen demand was 126-530. The most isolates had a need from 7.2-7.90 for chemical oxygen demand. Based on obtained results, Klebsiella variicola, Bacillus aerius, Bacillus stratosphericus and Lysinibacillus fusiformis were most resistant strains. Bacteria growth was higher in control, 25, 50, 100 and 150 mg, respectively. All the bacteria showed a fix growth after 72h. Considering high resistant of Klebsiella variicola, Bacillus aerius, Bacillus stratosphericus and Lysinibacillus fusiformis, the strains can be used for bioremediation of chromium and decreasing aontaminations, especially in oil refinery.

        In order to evaluate the effect of drought stress on yield and the other related traits, 14 rice genotypes (including five varieties of landrace and introduced varieties) in a randomized complete block design with three replications in two environments without stress (flooding) and drought stress in the field Research located in Aliabad (under the supervision of Gonbad Kavous University) was studied. Irrigation of experimental farm in both the flood and drought were flooded until maximum tillering stage. Irrigation was performed every 25 days until the end of the season from 40 days after maximum Tillerin). Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits in both conditions. The average yield of the genotypes in the normal and stress conditions lR83752-BB-12-3 and was Sepedroud. Panicle weight (0.85**) under stress (flooding) and root volume (0.98**) in drought stress conditions, the highest positive correlation with grain yield were Significant. Path analysis results showed that different traits were involved in justifying grain yield under non-stress and drought stress conditions, so that in non-stress condition, number of panicle and in drought condition, number of filled grain per panicle had the highest direct and positive effect on grain yield. In grouping cultivars based on cluster analysis using ward method, cultivars were divided into three groups under normal conditions and stress. The results of cluster analysis showed that Pegaso, IR83752-B-B-12-3 and Sepidrood cultivars, which had more volume, fresh weight and root dry weight than other cultivars, were in the drought tolerant group.

        Abstract. This investigation carried out in order to study the effects of irrigation times and phosphorous fertilizer on yield and yield components on Nigella sativa in split plot design with three replications based on randomized complete block designed at Sepahan Nama research farm in Jellan Abad of Isfahan. The main factor was irrigation time with three levels including 50, 100 and 150 mm evaporation from flash tank of A class. The sub plot was different phosphorous fertilizer levels including control, 75 and 150 kg/ ha P (triple super phosphate fertilizer). Measured traits were including number of capsule per plant, number of seed per capsule, seed weight to capsule, 1000-seed weight, biological yield, seed yield per meter squares and plant height. Variance analysis showed that all traits had significant differences for different levels of irrigation time, phosphorous fertilizer and interaction them. Result described which the highest biological, seed yield per plant and area obtained at 100 mm evaporation and 150 kg/ h P and the lowest these traits was obtained at 150 mm evaporation from flash tank and 150 kg/ha P. Result showed to production of suitable yield must be attended to irrigation parameters and consumption of phosphorous fertilizer. Also result described which more and less use of irrigation is not suitable for high production of seed yield. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Tamarix is the largest genus in the family Tamaricaceae with about 54 species.Taxonomically due to interspecific hybridization the number of Tamarix species in the world and in Iran is discussed.Aim: the purpose of this research study of Taxonomic and morphological diversity of 51 samples of 10&nbsp; species are related to different regions of Iran.Materials and methods: 9 Characters (4 quantitative, 5 qualitative) of the morphological structure of vegetative and reproductive organs of the species were studied and statistical analysis was performed. Such as the characteristics of the number of petals, the number of sepals, number of stamen rows, outer sepal, inner sepal, external sepal tip shape, ttachment of stamen to lobe, bracte length relative to calyx length, number of stamen They are one of the prominent morphological features of this genus. PCA showed the most variance in two main components.Results: PCA biplot was drawn to show the most variable traits in morphological studies. Also, clustering method were drawn in morphological studies to show the separation of boundary between species. The borders of all species were separated by the mentioned morphological traits and only boundary of T. karakalensis, T. korolkowii, T. ramosissima were not separated due to overlap in bracte length relative to calyx length character.The information obtained is consistent with the results of molecular studies with the SCoT marker previously performed.Conclusion: The present study indicates the presence of morphological diversity in species and even between individuals of species in Iran. It also showed that morphological traits with molecular studies are effective in determining the boundary of species Manuscript profile

        One of the important criteria for assessing the level of success or failure of educational system is the students&rsquo; academic achievement; increasing the academic achievement and reducing the level of their academic failure are among the most important goals of this system. The aim of current research was to investigate the relationship between basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness), learning strategies (deep and surface) and students' academic achievement in a form of casual model. 285 high school students in Salmas city were selected using stratified sampling method and answered to learning strategies and basic psychological needs questionnaires. Path analysis was use for data analysis. The findings revealed that tested model had sufficient fit and predicted 23% of changes of academic achievement, 14% deep learning strategies and 13% of variance of surface learning strategies. Deep learning strategies had positive and significant effect on academic achievement. But the effect of surface learning strategies on academic achievement was negative and significant. Need for autonomy and competence had positive and significant effect on Deep learning strategies. But the effect of need for relatedness on this variable wasn't significant. Also, the effect of need for relatedness on surface learning strategies was positive and significant. Research findings showed that both motivational (e.g. basic psychological needs) and cognitive variables (e.g. learning strategies) have important roles in prediction of students' academic achievement.

The results showed that communication patterns, coherence and family flexibility and hardiness with psychological well-being of students were significant. The results of path analysis showed that direct and indirect relationships in the proposed model were significant and the relationships between these variables had acceptable fit. Therefore, based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that psychological hardiness has a mediating role in the relationship between communication patterns, family coherence and flexibility with psychological well-being.

        From the second century AH, with the rise of Iranian dynasties in the political arena, Iranian and archaic tendencies gradually entered the political structure from the cultural sphere, including the efforts of the Samanids and the Buyids to attribute their dynasty to the families of ancient kings, nobles and heroes. The choice of such a relative dynasty provided national acceptance in the social context, proving the merit and legitimacy of the regime, and consequently fulfilling many of their goals in the field of cultural, political, and territorial conflicts. The most important manifestation of these tendencies and the means of propagating and introducing the lineage of the ruling system were historical books.In this article, in order to reveal the opposition between the Samanid and Al- Al-Buyid genealogical thought and discourse in the context of political and territorial conflicts, with emphasis on the Ray region, the data related to the genealogical discourse of these dynasties were described and analyzed with a semantic approach. As a result, it became clear that the Samanids and the Buyids dynasty, in their territorial disputes, especially the conflict over the strategic Ray region, used genealogical claims to assert the legitimacy of their sovereignty by proclaiming it in historical texts.

        An examination of the historical background of Iranian lands in the ancient era is highly dependent on the geography of their geography. In the sixth century AD. The new Sassanian administrative divisions, the substitute for the former administrative system and the country, were divided into four sections. The purpose of the research is to study written sources of literature, including the writings of early Islamic historians and geographers, as far as possible, a general picture of the position of the Nanina administrative system as a subset of his administrative system can be drawn. So, the questions here are raised 1. What is the history of human presence in the cultural landscape of Nain? 2. Regarding the administrative divisions of the Nain region during the Sassanid period and, as a matter of fact, the revelation of the coming of Islam was considered one of the ancient kilns? The adopted method is a combination of historical methods and the historical geographic area. The results of the research showed that the oldest evidence of human presence in the region dates back to prehistoric times and we do not know about the fate of the region before the Sassanid era, and archaeological excavations and studies can explain the status of this region. With the advent of Islam, especially the early Islamic centuries, Nain was considered one of the largest furnaces of the Fars capital. Manuscript profile

        The translation movement in the era of the Abbasid Caliphate introduced Muslims to the cultural and scientific heritage of ancient nations, and through it Muslims became acquainted with Greek, Indian, Syriac, Pahlavi works. The result was the formation of the foundations of new Islamic sciences through this scientific movement. This translation of Greek works introduced Muslims to Greek philosophy and logic, which resulted in the formation of theology and the introduction of rational interpretations of the Holy Quran. The influence of the translation movement was different in the religious sects of that time. Because the Mu'tazilites were a current of thought that was in front of the reference and considered it necessary to use reason in explaining and interpreting religious rules. He used the rational method he had chosen to interpret religious principles. One of the most important manifestations of the influence of Greek logic and philosophy on the interpretation of the Qur'an was issues such as the accidentality of the Qur'an and Fordism in the interpretation of religious texts.

        Activities such as preparing materials, production planning and inventory control and supply of goods are considered as the key areas of supply chain are management and control. It is possible to identify how many and when each product must be produced by planning. Manufacturers can prioritize each product based on the capacity of the lines, the human resources and etc. Moreover, customers might consider other priority for each product. Accordingly, it is important to determine the amount of production for each product by drawing on management and customer comments. On the other hand, due to the indeterminate nature of data in the real world, the fuzzy logic approach is used for production capacity, processing time and profit. In this paper using the revised fuzzy theory of constraints and priorities of customer, a mixed production is determined and it keeps a balance between producer and customer priorities. The proposed algorithm has been studied using numerical example. The results show the effectiveness of this approach in real-world. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, we introduce ergonomic system in assembly department of Irankhodro as a case study, and then we measure its role in employees&rsquo; health and improving efficiency and productivity. To this end, we studied the effective factors including environmental, physical, safety, mental, psychological, and training. This research is descriptive &ndash; applicative in nature. Data were collected through observation, interview, and questioners. We used t student, ANOVA, and multi-dimensional comparing statistical techniques for analyzing the data. The results of t student trial showed that there is a meaningful relationship between employees&rsquo; mental and psychological factors at 0.05. There is also a meaningful difference between environmental, ventilation, and physical factors and the rate of carrying the goods. Beside, the results of ANOVA trial showed that there is a relationship between different levels of managers, and employees&rsquo; judgments regarding environmental, physical, and mental factors. The results of multi-comparison trial also confirmed differences among employees&rsquo; ideas, and the judgments of medium, and executives&rsquo; managers of the organization. After analyzing the opinions of employees and managers, we concluded that ergonomic system cannot apply to some employees&rsquo; needs. So, we tried to examine the difficulties and hindrances in the application of environmental ergonomic system. Finally, some suggestions for promoting the ergonomic systems are provided.

        The science of architecture seeks to discover the category of the environment in various buildings and help to harmonize them with their surroundings. This theme is derived from sustainable development in architecture and their pursuit. One of the new methods, which is based on the idea of minimal impact on the environment and the least use of finite energy resources and seeks a new friendship between man and nature, is ecological design, which is familiarity with its design rules for builders based on this approach is essential. Is. Rules of ecological design in the design stage can be associated with architecture and associated in the form of design in different buildings. Multifunctional buildings as a project stimulating functional development affect all dimensions of a neighborhood or area. This research aims to extract and verify the components of ecological design from the language of space users thinkers and researchers, which uses all three tools to collect data. It is a nested application that combines data collection tools in a qualitative approach and is verified and evaluated in a quantitative approach. First, concepts are extracted and categorized through theoretical foundations. Then the research question is extracted and categorized according to the concepts and definitions are taken from the theoretical foundations. Then, the research question by the concepts and definitions derived from theoretical foundations is increased to 7 questions for a semi-open interview. According to the main theme of the article, he visits the multi-functional complex of Mashhad. Data reduction is done in both cases. Has expertise in this field). The results are compared between the two groups using Originpro software. The results show that from the point of view of space users, the most important factor is the components of respect for people, creating volumes with long-term value and design from details to template with the value (1,000) and the least related to paying attention to site values in design with value. (0.211). In the group of participatory observers, the highest factor share is related to harmony with natural ecosystems, functional independence of design, and attention to site values in design with a value of (1,000), and the lowest factor share is related to equality of human rights and nature with value (0.221). Is. According to the results obtained in the findings section, it was found that the results of inferential statistics and descriptive statistics were different from each other, and to apply the results, inferential statistics should be considered. Users pointed to the components of ecological design. In participatory observers, even in the components with the lowest correlation coefficient, its rate is close to 0.5, which indicates a high correlation rate between the components in their responses. This is not true in factor contribution and regression, and in general, the averages obtained for the two groups are close to each other. In the user group, attention to physical aspects and attention to people and the needs of different groups in space as a flexible element over time It has been an ecosystem architecture, but in the group of participatory observers, attention to climate and space has been given priority over other components in the Shandiz multifunctional complex.After reviewing the results of the responses of two groups of observers who have more expertise and users who have less expertise, it is observed that there is little communication between them and due to a lack of understanding of the concept of ecosystem architecture and ecological design, the results obtained from them can not be trusted. It is better to use the results of participatory observers for design and development-stimulating projects. Also, due to the existence of two groups of the population, the results are more accurate and valid. The principles of ecological design and attention to ecosystem architecture with the use of various components have been considered for many years in the process of designing and implementing different types of buildings with uses, educational, residential, commercial, cultural, etc. in developed countries. Their multifunctional buildings have been less studied as a contemporary product in this country. Ecological design can improve the quality of the building in terms of environment, refine and verify the components of ecological design compared to Shandiz's multifunctional building by preserving various ecosystems.

        Life satisfaction is one of the most important factors of well-being and mental health, which positive psychology has paid special attention to in recent decades. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the mediating role of self-differentiation and forgiveness in the relationship between psychological capital and life satisfaction in married women. This research was descriptive and correlational. Its statistical population included 798 married women in Tehran city, who were selected by multi-stage sampling method and used Diener's (1985) life satisfaction questionnaires, Luthans and Morgan's (2007) psychological capitals, Drake's individual differentiation (2011) and interpersonal forgiveness answered by Ehtshamzadeh et al. (2011). Structural equation method and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. The results showed that psychological capital, self-differentiation and interpersonal forgiveness directly had a significant effect on life satisfaction (P &lt; 0.05). In addition, these psychological capitals had an effect on life satisfaction indirectly and through the mediation of interpersonal forgiveness and self- differentiation (P &lt; 0.05). The findings of this study can be used to create a solution to reduce the destructive effects of not being satisfied with life in married women. Manuscript profile

        Water shortage in root environment is the main factor limiting crop growth and productivity in dry regions. There are many reports on the role of methanol spraying for increasing drought tolerance in C3 plants. For this reason, a factorial experiment was conducted using completely randomized block design with 3 replications at Khatam Alanbia University of Behbahan. Methanol applied with five levels; (control, 5, 15, 25 and 35% v/v) and water deficit stress with three levels: irrigation at 100% of field capacity, moderate water stress, irrigation at 75% of field capacity and severe water stress, irrigation at 25% of field capacity. Foliar application of methanol was applied 3 times during the growing season (at seedling, flowering and podding stages) with 10-days intervals. Results showed that the interactions of methanol &times; drought on the root dry weight, root diameter, root length (p&lt;0.05) and root area (p&lt;0.01) were significant. In normal irrigation conditions, methanol spraying 5, 15 and 25% increased significantly root dry weight as compared to control. Also, the interactions of methanol &times;drought on protein and proline were significant (p&lt;0.01). Methanol spraying incresed significantly root proline and protein contents. Interactions of methanol and drought on sodium and potasium consentration, (p&lt;0.05) and calcium (p&lt;0.01) was significant. Interactions of methanol &times;drought on root activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase were significant (p&lt;0.05). Also, the effect of drought stress on catalase enzyme activity was significant (p&lt;0.01). Methanol spraying decreased root activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase, significantly.

        Relationship, between seed yield and it morphological characteristics and their relative importance in 25 bread wheat genotypes under both rain-fed and supplementary irrigation conditions studied using a randomized complete block design with three replications were evaluated during growing seasons of 2014 and 2016 at the Kermanshah&rsquo;s Sararud Rainfed Agricultural Research Station. Analysis of variance showed that all traits under study, except spike length, exhibited significant differences in rainfed and supplementary irrigation condition. In supplementary irrigation conditions, these traits showed higher values as compared to those of rainfed condition. The application of supplementary irrigation resulted in reduced leaf and canopy temperatures. The coefficients of simple correlation between the traits, for both of the rain-fed and supplementary irrigation systems, indicated that cell membrane stability, flag leaf length, straw yield, relative water content, 1000 seed weight, chlorophyll content, leaf and canopy temperatures were maximally correlated with the seed yield. Traits like straw yield and flag leaf length were inserted into the regression model of rainfed irrigation condition and traits such as the straw yield, flag leaf length, relative water content and spike yield were also inserted into the regression model of supplementary irrigation condition the results demonstrated that the former traits accounted for 0.741 of the seed yield variations and the latter traits explained 0.899 of the seed yield variation. Path coefficient analysis showed highest positive direct effect on seed yield in rain-fed condition, and straw yield and flag leaf length, relative water content, flag leaf length and spike yield in supplementary irrigation condition. Based on the results of this study, straw yield was found to be the most important indicator to select for higher yielding varieties of wheat under both rainfed and supplementar irrigation conditions.

        To evaluate the effect of biofertilizer and sulfur on yield and morphophysiological traits of three wheat genotypes. A split plot factorial design experiment based on completely randomized block design with four replications was performed at Gharakhail and Baykola research stations of Mazandaran province in 2014-2015. The wheat genotypes were Gonbad, Ehsan and Tirgan; the sulfur treatments consisted of levels of zero, 250 and 500 kg.ha-1 (along with Tiobacillu ssp &lt; /em&gt;) and biofertilizer of zero and two l.ha-1 (via treating seeds). The traits studied were plant height, leaf area index, number of fertile spikes, seed yield, plant fresh and dry weights, and protein percentage of seeds. Results showed that Flawheat biofertilizer had significant effect on leaf area index, plant dry weight, number of fertile spike and seed yied, and application of two liters of biofertilizer improved the traits under study. The highest plant height (117.7 cm) was observed in Tirgan cultivar by using 2 kg.ha-1 of flawheat biofertilizer and 250 kg.ha-1 of sulfur. In all three cultivars of Gonbad, Ehsan and Tirgan, consumption of 2 l.ha-1 of flawheat and 250 kg.ha-1 of sulfur increased wheat dry weight compared to the control. Tirgan cultivar with 5298 kg.ha-1 produced highest seed yield by using two liters of Flawheat and 250 kg of sulfur per hectare. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Tirgan among the three cultivars studied in the central and eastern regions of Mazandaran province, produced higest seed yield by using of 250 kg.ha-1 of sulfur and the application of two liters per hectare of Flawheat.

        To Study of the effects of biological and chemical fertilizers applications on quantitative and qualitative traits of potato (Kaiser cultivar), a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was performed in Lordegan city in Iran during 2014. The fertilizers used were chemical nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers with two levels (nitrogen, 150 kg.ha-1 from urea resource and Phosphorous, 120 kg.ha-1 from super phosphate triple) and biological fertilizers were (nitroxin, vermicompost and phosphate barvar 2) each with two levels. The results showed that the use of nitroxin, vermicompost and phosphate barvar 2 and nitrogen andphosphorous fertilizers affected starch content, plant height, number of main stem per plant, LAI, total dry/fresh matter, the largest and smallest tuber diameter, number of tuber per plant and tuber yield, significantly. The highest tuber yield was observed by using nitroxin, vermicompost and phosphate barvar 2. Results of this research also showed that use of biological and chemical fertilizers affected vegetative traits that are related to qualitative and physiological indices. In spite of these promising effects of chemical and biological fertilizers on quantative and qualitative traits of potato, application of triple super phosphate along with biological fertilizers did not affect quality and quantity of potato. The highest starch percentage in dry matter of tuber (75.27%), number of main stem per plant (6.37), diameter of largest (185.75 mm) and smallest tuber (58.08 mm), tuber yield (33317.5 kg.ha-1), were produced by the use of biological fertilizers. Overall, results showed that the use of biofertilizeres may improve the measured traits of quantity and quality of caeser cultivar of potato and obtain the highest yield. Manuscript profile

        Optimum use of fertilizer plays a key role in enhancing the yield of rice and other crops. The use of nano-fertilizers can be an effective strategy in optimizing fertilizer use in croping systems and achieving sustainable agriculture. This research was carried out to study the effect of nano-fertilizers spraying compared with common chemical N.P.K fertilizers use on morphological traits, yield and yield components of rice in Sari, Mazandaran province for two years (2016 and 2017). A split plot experiment, based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. The main factors were two rice cultivars (Tarom and Shiroudi) and a sub plots including fertilizer treatments in 10 levels, consisting of control (without fertilizer), common fertilizers of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and NPK, and nano-fertilizers of nitrogen (Nano-N; chelated nitrogen 17%), phosphorus (Nano-P; chelated phosphorus 17%), potassium (Nano-K; chelated potassium 27%) and NPK (Nano-NPK), plus simultaneous application of NPK and Nano-NPK (NPK+Nano-NPK). The results showed that, use of conventional fertilizers and nano-fertilizers, including the use of NPK and Nano-NPK, increased the yield and yield components of both rice cultivars. Most of the fertilizer levels (N, K, NPK fertilizers in Tarom and P, K and NPK fertilizers in Shiroudi), the use of nano-fertilizers was more affective than conventional fertilizer and increased seed yield. Application of Nano-NPK increase yield of Tarom and Shirodi cultivars by 22.54% and 12.12%, respectively as compared to the use of NPK. Since the application of chemical fertilizers is indispensable for obtaining proper yield in plants, the use of nano-fertilizers, especially Nano-NPK treatments, can be a good strategy to optimize the use of fertilizers in rice fields.

        In this research effect of drought (water deficit) stress and manure on yield and some of the morphological characters of dragonhead was studied. In this study a strip plot pot experiment based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) was conducted in greenhouse with 15 treatments and 3 replication, in the Islamic Azad University Jiroft Branch in Iran during 2009. Three levels of water stress at 75% Fc (least stress), 50% Fc (moderate stress) and 25% Fc (severe stress) were considered as vertical factor and five manure levels (0 &ndash; 10 &ndash; 20 &ndash; 30 &ndash; 40 t/ha) were considered as horizontal factor. Total fresh and dry herb yield, plant height, number of stem, internode length, dry leaf and dry stem weights were measured. The results showed that the effect of water deficit stress on all morphological characters, except inter node length and stem number, were significant (= %5). The effect of manure on all morphological characters, except inter node length, were significant (= %5, = %1). Fresh and dry weights of herb, number of stem, plant height, dry leaf and stem weights decreased by increasing water stress. Water stress, significantly reduced on herb yield from 4868.27 kg/ha to 3348.00. Maximum dry herb yield with 4956kg/ha was due to 75% Fc (least stress) with manure treatment of 40 t/ha. Results of this study showed that by increasing manure level dry herb yield was increased. A significant positively correlation between dry herb yield and fresh herb (r = 0.969), number of stem (r = 0.849), plant height (r = 0.684), dry leaf (r = 0.969), dry stem (r = 0.974) were observed.

        To study the effect of different irrigation regimes on morphological and physiological characteristics of soybean cultivars, this experiment was conducted at Moghan Agricultural Research Center during 2009-2010 in Iran. The experiment was split plot based on randomized complete block design, with 3 replications. The main plots consisted of four irrigation regimes: I1, I2, I3 and I4 indicating irrigation after 60, 100, 140 and 180 mm evaporation from class A pan respectively and 3 soybean cultivars named Linford, L17 and Williams assigned in the sub plots. Results of combined analysis showed that with increasing irrigation intervals from I1 to I4 reduced growth period, plant height and leaf area index (LAI), number of nodes, branches and internodes significantly. Physiologic characteristics such as chlorophyll contain of leaves and relative water content (RWC) were also affected by irrigation regimes. LAI in I1 was 4.94 reduced inI4to 3.70.Plant height of soybean cultivars were declined by 21% in I4 (irrigation after 180 mm evaporation) as compared to I1 (irrigation after 60 mm evaporation). Soluble proline content of the leaves and electric conduction (EC) on the other hand increases significantly. There was significant differences among cultivars concerning the vegetative and physiological characteristics. Willams and L17 cultivars produced the highest numbers of nodes (15.5) and internode length (4.95cm) receptivity. The maximum proline content (65.6 &micro;mol/F.W) and relative water content (67.65%) belonged to Linford cultivar. Interaction of irrigation regimes and cultivars was significant on plant hieght, LAI and proline content. Linford cultivar had more soluble proline under water limited condition and maintained higher LAI and plant height in I4 treatment as compared other treatments. Manuscript profile

The results of variance analysis indicated that there were among the lines and cultivars under study for plant height, the number of spikelet per spike, the number of grain per spike, the weight of grain per spike, weight of internode, spike length and the weight of spike at 1% probability level and for grain yield at 5% in probability. This shows that there was genetic variability among the genotypes for traits under study. The line of Zrn/shiroodi was found to be highest producer (9422 kg/ha). Results of back Ward regression method indicated that the number of spike per squared meter, the weight of other internodes and spikelet height accounted 15.5 of variations for grain yield. Results due to path analysis indicated that the grain yield was increased by increasing spike length (0.749) and the number of spike in squared meter (0.442). Cluster analysis using Ward method, based on the traits under study divided the genotypes into two groups. Thus it can be concluded that traits under study can be used in breeding programs to select promising and high yielding wheat genotypes. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The European mole cricket is considered to be of the most important insect pests of Iran, especially in Azerbaijan province. Its damage in some area economically is very high. 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.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of planting date on agronomic and physiolocal characteristics of maize hybrids in different groups in Jiroft region of Kerman province, an experiment as a split plot in the randomized complete block design with three replications in the city of Jiroft in the crop year 2017-2018 was conducted. Experimental factors were included planting date as the main factor at three levels of July 27, August 3 and August 10 and different hybrids as a secondary factor at 10 levels of early, late and medium maturing hybrids (701, 703, 705, 706, 707, 201, 260, 400, 370 and 704 as controls). There was a significant difference between the studied hybrids in terms of agronomic and physiological characteristics. The highest number of rows per ear was obtained in hybrid 706 and the highest number of seeds per row was obtained in hybrid 707. Delaying in planting was associated by of increasing stem diameter and biological yield and decreasing of plant height, ear length, number of rows per ear, seed yield, harvest index, GDD to physiological maturity and spad. By Delaing in planting, seed protein percent and proline accumulation increased. The most seed yield was obtained on July 17 in hybrid 260 (18.24 t.ha-1), August 3 in hybrid 210 (17.46 t.ha-1) and August 10 in hybrids 370 and 201 (17.4 and 17.28 t.ha-1). It seems that the delayed planting date due to exposure to unfavorable temperatures during tillering, pollination and granulation, as well as the reduction of the growing period was decreased yield and yield components.

        To evaluate the effects of different doses of oxyfluorfen and trifluralin herbicides on weeds control, economic and biologic yield of garlic var. Mazand (Allium sativum L.). An experiment was conducted in the form of simple randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012 - 2013 year. Factor studied were: one application of trifluralin and oxyfluorfen 1.5, 2 and 2.5 lit.ha-1, two applications of oxyfluorfen 1.5 lit.ha-1, hand weeding control and without weeding control.Results showed that using different doses of herbicides significantly affected density and biomass of weeds. Two applicarions of oxyfluorfen with 1.5 liters per hectare and hand weeding were best options to reduce of weeds biomass. Using of oxyfluorfen herbicide (2 and 2.5 liters) resulted in little damage and low stable on garlic. Using of different herbicides with different doses were significant on plant height, number of cloves per bulb, 100 seed weight, biological and economical yield and harvest index. Lowest economic yield was due to control treatment (540 g.m-2) and highest was obtained by using 1.5 liter of oxyfluorfen herbicide (1661.67 g.m-2), hand weeding (1686.67 g.m-2) and split oxyfluorfen application (1670 g.m-2). Finally, oxyfluorfen treatment (1.5 liter) on 3 to 4 weeds leaf, were identified as the most appropriate treatments. Manuscript profile

        Drought one of the most important global threats against bread wheat production. In order to identify physiological traits associated with drought tolerance, 52 bread wheat varieties were cultured under two normal and drought stress condition in a randomized complete block desigen with three replications. RWC (in three independent times), leaf rolling, leaf silvering, days to flowering, days to maturity and stem reserve remobilization were investigeted. Also in a pot experiment osmotic adjustment of the varieties were measured at seedling stage. varieties Star and Bezostaya had the highest RWC (0.79 and 0.78, respectively). Osmotic adjustment in Rasol and Unknown11 were highest (0.58 and 0.56, respectively). Varieties Tipik, Unknown11 and Azar2 showed the least decrease in thousand grain weight after spraying with KI (4.8, 5.5 and 5.5, respectively). Also varieties Dez, Gaspard and MV-17 have the highest degree of leaf silvering and varieties Niknejad, Star and Kohdasht under drought stress were able than the other varieties bring their leaves to form a rolling and cope with water deficit. Under drought stress, Varieties Alborz, Zagros and Inia were observed premature than the other varieties and Gaspard and Kaslojen varieties were observed late mature than the other varieties. Altogetehr varieties Kohdasht, Star and Bezostaya can be used as genetic resources for leaf water retention under drought stress condition for imjproving other varieties. Also as Azar2 and Unknown11 had highest amount of thousand grain weight under normal condition and simoultanously showed high ability in stem reserves remobilization they can be selected as parents in crosses for improving these traits.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        To compare yields of mung bean under different nutrition (Chemical, Biological and Integrated) and tillage systems a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2015. Treatments consisted of 3 levels of tillage systems (no-tillage, conservation tillage and conventional tillage) and 4 levels of plant nutritions (inoculated with mycorrhiza + 50% nitrogen, 50% nitrogen without mycorrhizal inoculation, mycorrhizal inoculation +100 percent nitrogen, without inoculation with mycorrhiza + 50% nitrogen). The results showed that plant nutrient sources affected yield significantly. The highest grain yield (1510.03 kg.ha-1) was obtaind by using conservation tillage, 50% nitrogen and mycorhizal seed inoculation. This yield was 50% more than conventional tillage and nitrogen fertilizer and mycorrhizal seed inoculation which was 934.1 kg.ha-1. The highest protein yield (24.99 kg.ha-1) belonged to conventional tillage, 50 percent of nitrogen use and mycorrhizal inoculation, which is 100% (13.33 kg.ha-1) more than conventional tillage and nitrogen fertilizer with 50 percent of mycorrhizal inoculation. In general, the results showed that the use of tillage did not have significant effect on most of the traits. This result could be different if this experiment would be continued for several years. These results indicated that mycorrhizal seed inoculation reduced the need for nitrogen fertilizer, while increased seed yield. Manuscript profile

        To evaluate the effect of herbicides and biofarm (Pseudomonas spp.) as biological fertilizer on weeds and yield components of canola, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at Agricultural Research Center of East Azarbaijan in 2009. The treatment factors consisted of herbicide (factor A) at 4 levels (application of trifloralin, Treflan, at 2.5 l/ha as pre-planting, chlopyralid, Lontrel, at 0.8 l/ha when canola plants were at 2-4 leaf stage, metazachlor+quinmerac, Butizan star, at 2.5 l/ha at cotyledonous stage of canola, and not controlling the weeds as check. Biological fertilizer (factor B) at 2 levels, using or not using the biofarm. Wild mustard (Sinapis arvvensis) and tansy mustard (Descurainia sophia), being in same family with canola, were the dominant weeds in the field. Traits like number of species and biomass of weeds, biomass and yield of the crop were recorded to evaluate the effects of the treatments. The statistical analysis indicated that Botizan star and Treflan, compared with control, significantly reduced the number and biomass of wild mustard. In spite of non significant effect of the herbicide on number of tansy mustard and total weed, Botizan star and Treflan significantly reduced their biomasses. Application of biofarm and its interaction with herbicides did not influence the evaluated traits significantly. The herbicides, also, did not have significant effect on biomass and yield of the crop. Manuscript profile

        According to Iranian water resource limitations it is mandatory to find water efficient strategies for crop production in accordance with reduction of chemical inputs. A split-factorial experiment was conducted in 2018 based on randomize complete block design with three replications to investigate the effects of biochar and nitroxin application on growth traits and yield of cowpea under different irrigation regimes. Experimental treatments were irrigation regimes (0, 90, 120 mm) evaporation from water pan class A which were considered as no stress, mild water stress and Sevier water stress, respectively. Irrigation treatments were arranged as main plot and three levels of biochar (0,4, 8 t.ha-1) and nitroxin (inoculated and no inoculated) considered as factorial subplots. Results showed that dry matter accumulation and relative crop growth rate exhibited a sigmoid pattern while leaf area and growth rate followed gaussian pattern. Based on model output DMTmax was 467 g.m-2 and RGRmax was 0/100 g, LAImax 3.65 and CGRmax was 12.6 g.m-2 which reach to 50% of final value in 55/9, 65.9, 40.5 and 31.7, respectively. Application 8 ton/ha biochar with nitroxxin resulted in 12% RWC and 10%, 27% improved nitrogen and phosphor status under severe stress condition. Irrigation at 120 mm evaporation caused 33% reduction of grain yield and nitroxin application at normal condition caused 19% increase in grain yield but at 120 mm evaporation it did not exhibit significant effect. Application of biochar at no stress condition led to 37% increase in grain yield and such changes reach to 29% at 120 mm evaporation from water pan class A. The highest grain yield (266 g.m-2) obtained from 8 t.ha-1 biochar at no stress condition and the maximum biological yield was obtained from 8 t.ha-1 biochar with nitroxin (809 g.m-2). Application of 8 t.ha-1 biochar incorporated with nitroxin could provide satisfactory yield for cowpea crop under water limited condition. Manuscript profile

        In order to study the responses of chickpea genotypes and super absorbent application under supplemental irrigation condition, an experiment was conducted base on split-split- plot randomized complete block design with four replications during 2014-2015 in the Agricultural Research Station of Sarab Changaei, Khorramabad. Suplimental irrigation (rainfed, suplimental irrigation at 50% flowering and supplemental irrigation at 50% flowering+ 50% poding) in the main plots, super absorbent polymer in subplot and cultivars (Arman, Azad, Hashem, Adel and ILC482) the sub-subplots were located. The highest grain yield and protein yield were obtained in supplementary irrigation in two stages (50% flowering + 50% poding) with super absorbent application, by avrege of 3890 and 870 kg.ha-1, respectively, which were 24% and 21% higher than control, respectively. The highest leaf greenness (39.22), pods per plant (22.1), seed weight (52.4) and biological yield (5413.5) were related to two-stage irrigation. The highest number of pods per plant (27.7) was observed in Hashem cultivar and superabsorbent application, which was 34% more than non- super absorbent in same cultivar. Results of genotype&times; super absorbent showed that the highest grain yield (4159 kg.ha-1), grain nitrogen percentage (3.69) and protein yield (960 kg.ha-1) were obtained under super absorbent and Adel cultivar conditions. Based on the results, application of supera bsorbent increased grain yield and protein yield of chickpea genotype in rain-fed conditions. By improving physiological traits, associated with drought tolerance, the use of supplemental irrigation method in areas that make this possible, especially if combined with the application of super absorbent polymers, can increase seed yield in chickpea.

        Drought is the abiotic stress to decrease yield potential. To screen and identify drought tolerant genotypes of bread wheat landraces, was studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications with two levels of stress (stress and non-stress environments) and 25 bread wheat genotypes, at the Razi University of Kermanshah in 2017-2018. Results of analysis of variance and mean comparison of morphological, physiological and biochemical traits showed that effect of genotype was significant for most of the traits under stress. Correlation coefficients showed a positive and significant result between yield with thousand seed weight and biological yield in both stress and non-stress conditions. Analysis of variance and mean comparisons showed that genotype No. 10 was superior under both stress and non-stress conditions. The results of correlation between drought stress indices showed that STI, MRP and biological yield were positively and significantly correlated with grain yield under both stress and non-stress conditions. Ranking of genotypes, based on sum of ranks, mean ranks and standard deviation of ranks, showed that genotypes 10, 15 and 18 were best rank and recognized as superior drought resistant genotypes, while genotypes 4, 16, and 22 were identified susceptible. Factor analysis in stress environment explained 80.55% of the variance by four main factors. Ward's cluster analysis under stress condition divided the genotypes into four groups. Grouping of genotypes were somewhat different due to different responses of bread wheat genotypes to water deficit stress and their differences in susceptibilies or relative resistancese.

        To study the effects of physical seed primings on yield and alkaloid content of datura an experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications and 10 different treatments was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Islamic Aazd University, Tabriz branch, Iran, during growing season of 2013. Treatments of moist seeds were: ultrasonic treatment of seeds with a maximum of 3 watts, gamma and beta irradiations of seeds at 2 microcurie (&micro;c) for 10 minutes, laser irradiation at 6328 angstrom (A&deg;) and magnetic field of seeds with 40 microtesla (mt) each for 5, 10, 15 minutes respectively and control. Results indicated that seeds treated with gamma irradiation increased plant height over the control by 45%. Highest (206 g.m-2) and lowest (108.3 g.m-2) biological yields were produced when seeds treated with magnetic field for 10 minutes and laser for 5 minutes respectively. Similarly, highest (27.27 g.m-2) and lowest (14.96 g.m-2) seed yields were obtained by treating seeds with magnetic field for 15 minutes and ultrasonic respectively. Alkaloid content in the above ground plant parts was highest when seeds treated with gamma irradiation and lowest with the magnetic field irradiation for 5 minutes. It may be concluded that physical primings of seeds with magnetic field, gamma and laser irradiations would result in higher seed yields. Manuscript profile

        Incorporation of winter legume crops in rotation with rice and using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria can be a proper alternative approach in increasing sustainable crop production in rice fields. A split factorial field experiment using randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the Rice Research Station of Tonekabon, Mazandaran province, Iran, in 2014 to evaluate the effects of previous crop, Azospirillum lipoferum inoculation, and N rate on growth and seed yield of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Shiroudi). Main plots were consisted of previous crop [berseem clover, faba bean, and control (fallow)] and subplots of Azospirillum lipoferum (Inoculated and Un-inoculated) and recommended rate of N applications (50, 75, and 100 kg.ha-1). Analysis of variance showed that rice paddy yield was significantly affected by previous crop, Azospirillum lipoferum and N rate. Result also showed that rice paddy yield was increased only by 3% when rice was planted after berseem clover as it compared with rice plant after fallow. However, rice paddy yield was significantly reduced by 16% when it was planted after faba bean as compared to that it was planted after fallow. Rice paddy yield was significantly increased by 14% after Azospirillum lipoferum inoculation. Rice paddy yield was significantly increased by 11% when N application increased from 50 to 75 kg N ha-1, and further N application (100 kg N ha-1) did not affect paddy yield significantly. Based on the result of this experiment, planting rice after berseem clover, Azospirillum lipoferum inoculation and application of kg N ha-1 of recommended rates can be used to obtain highest paddy yield in the experimental site.

        To study the effect of corm density on yield and qualitative traits of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) under different biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized block design with 3 replications was done in 2014 at Shahr-e-Rey region (Ghomi Abad). The experimental factors were: corm density in 3 levels (60, 120 and 180 corm per square meter) and biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers in 4 levels (without fertilizer application, 150 kg.ha-1 of Urea, 5 L.ha-1 of Nitroxin and 75 kg.ha-1 of Urea +5 L.ha-1 of Nitroxin). The results indicated that the corm density affects number of daughter corm, fresh daughter corm weight, corm diameter, dry stigma and style weight, dry and fresh flower weight significantly. Mean comparisons also indicated that by increasing corm density from 6o to 180, saffron dry yield of saffron improved by 2.7 fold. However, increasing corm density reduced corm diameter, fresh corm daughter weight and their numbers per square meter. It can be concluded that nitroxin as an organic fertilizer, increases vegetative traits and saffron dry yield (stigma + style weight) to 2.08 kg.ha-1 and highly improves in qualitative traits like Safranal, Picrocrocin, and Crocin. It can be also said that combined use of nitroxin and urea would be an alternative method to reduce application of urea. Manuscript profile

        The physiological and phonological characteristics of different varieties and lines of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) and also relationship between these traits and grain yield, 20 cultivars and lines of rapeseed were studied in a randomized complete block design with four replications for two years (2014-2016) at the High Educational Complex of Shirvan. During growing seasons, in addition to recording the phonological traits, destructive sampling and light measurement to calculate physiological traits like leaf area index, total dry matter and extinction coefficient were performed. At the end of the seasons, yield and its components, morphological traits and oil percentage of the cultivars were measured. Factor analysis was used to describe the relationship between the traits studied by using the mean of 21 attributes and the principal component analysis. The results of the analysis showed that the first four components justified a total of 99 percent of the total variations. The contribution of first and two components were 83.8 and 13.1 percent in the first year and 83.3 and 11.6 percent in the second year, respectively. Since the total values of the third and fourth components of the total changes in both years of the experiment are less than 4%, therefore the first two components which justified more than 96% of the variation were used to select the superior composition and the corresponding diagrams were drawn. Accordingly, varieties related to the positive direction of the first axis were varieties with high biological yield, high pod number, long flowering period and noticeable oil yield (Group A). In these varieties, seed filling is relatively shorter than the rest. In contrast, B-group varieties were against to the A- group's and were related to the negative direction of the first axis. On the other hand, varieties with high positive weight on the second axis were those with a high harvest index, a large number of pods per plant, which had longer time to stem elongation but shorter in planting to rosette (group C). The average yield of cultivars in the first year was 453.80 g.m-2 and in the second year 401.84 g.m-2. Part of the reduction in yield associated with the reduction of growth indices (biological yield) and the other part is related to the reduction of the harvest index, which it is due to significant differences of radiation between two years. As a whole it could be said that, three varieties of Bilbao, Traviata and Slm046 had the highest positive correlation with the first axis (group A). Manuscript profile

        Application of mycorrhizal fungi may improve the nutritional status of the plant and increase its resistance to environmental stresses, such as deficiencies water. This research was conducted in a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Hamidieh region of Ahvaz in 2018. Treatments consisted of irrigation regimes with three levels (60, 90 and 120 mm evaporation from class A pan evaporation) assigned to main plots and combined use of mycorrhiza and phosphate stabilizing bacteriawith four levels (non application, mycorrhiza, mycorrhiza and phosphate stabilizing bacteria and Phosphate solublizing bacteria) to sub plots. The results showed that the effects of irrigation regimes and combined use of mycorrhiza and phosphorus fertilizer on leaf area index, symbiosis percent, seed number of seeds per row of corn ear, number of seeds per ear, 1000 seed weight and seed yield were significant. Mean comparisons showed that combined treatment of mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate solubilizing bacteria resulted in the maximum number of seeds per ear, number of seeds per row, 1000 seed weight and leaf area index. The highest seed yield (6400.55 kg.ha-1) was obtained from 60 mm evaporation from class A evaporation pan and the combined application of mycorrhiza and phosphate solubilizing bacteria and lowest from 120 mm evaporation and without application of mycorrhiza and phosphate solubilizing bacteria. It can be concluded that combined use of mycorrhiza and phosphate solubilizing bacteria can be considered promising in growing maize for seed at this experimental region. Manuscript profile

        Azotobacter is an aerobic, gram negative and chemoorganotrophic bacterium, that is able to stabilize molecular nitrogen nonsymbiotically. The role of Azotobacter in plant growth is due to the production of growth-promoting hormones, the ability to dissolve insoluble phosphates, nitrogen fixation, increase stress resistance and biocontrol of plant pathogens. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify the indigenous Azotobacter from the soil of different areas of Tehran. The effect of tomato plant inoculation with isolates on growth promoting was also investigated. Finally, the growth conditions of the superior isolate were optimized.&nbsp; Azotobacter isolates were obtained from soil samples using serial dilution method and identified by conventional biochemical tests. The nif H gene, encoding nitrogenase enzyme, was identified in isolates using real-time PCR technique. Then the tomato seeds were inoculated with isolates and seedling growth rate including stem and root length were measured during 34 days. The parameters of temperature, pH, aeration rate, and carbon and nitrogen sources were optimized for superior isolate. In this study, 27 isolates were identified as nitrogen fixing Azotobacter. Considering the results, all isolates showed a significant increase (p &lt;0.05) in stem and root length of tomato plants compared to standard strain and negative control. Among them, isolate No. 21 had the greatest effect during 34 days of study and its best growth conditions in the presence of mannitol carbon source, peptone nitrogen source, 200 rpm rotation, 30&deg;C and pH 7were acquired. According to the results of this study, the obtained indigenous isolates particularly isolate No.21 have the potential to be used as biological fertilizer after further investigations.

        Lallemantia iberica is an annual, herbaceous and drought tolerant plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae, which is cultivated for its seeds. Diversity of 12 dragons head landraces were studied for phenotypic and genotypic variations using agro-morphological traits and some drought tolerance indices. Field study was conducted in the spring of 2013 as a randomized complete block design with three replicates in Maragheh. Results of analysis of variance showed that there was significant difference among the studied landraces for all agro-morphological traits under study between the experimental sites. Combined analysis for grain yield showed that there were significant differences between the experimental sites. The average grain yields were in the range of 730 to 1380 kg.ha-1 under complementary irrigated condition and from 360 to 680 kg.ha-1 under rainfed conditions. Kalibar and Nazarlo landraces for all parameters were highly drought tolerant. Cluster analysis grouped these populations into three distinct clusters. The results also indicated that plant height and days to flowering under complementary irrigation and main branches under rainfed conditions exhibited highest correlations with seed yields.

        To evaluate the effects of wheat (Triticum aestivum) and oilseed rape (Brassica napus) strip intercropping on yield components, seed and biological yields of oilseed rape, field experiments were carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Research Farm of Tabriz University, Tabriz, Iran during 2010-2012 cropping seasons. The first factor consisted of four types of wheat and oilseed rape cropping system, sole crop of oilseed rape (A1),: strip intercropping with 8:3 (A2), 12:4 (A3) and 16:5 (A4) of wheat and oilseed rape rows, respectively and the other factor consisted of two fertilizer levels, B1: 100% chemical fertilizers (urea and triple superphosphate) and B2: 50% chemical fertilizers + biofertilizers (Nitrazhin and Barvar2). The results showed that strip intercropping of wheat- oilseed rape resulted in significant increase in yield components, seed yield per occupied unit area and biological yield per occupied unit area of oilseed rape as compared with mono-cropping. The number of silique per plant in intercropping systems was significantly higher than that of mono-cropping. The highest seed yield was obtained in the 16:5 rows of wheat-oilseed rape with 343.76 g.m-2 and the lowest mean was observed in mono-cropping of oilseed rape with 260.21 g.m-2. Biological yield per occupied unit area and seed yield per intercropped unit area in B1 were significantly greater than that of B2, but this treatment had no significant effect on the other traits. Because, B1 and B2 had no significant difference in seed yield per occupied unit area and due to the importance of reduction in chemical fertilizers consumption and food and environmental health care, strip intercropping of wheat-oilseed rape under 50% chemical fertilizers + biofertilizers can be recommended as a suitable cultural method.

        In connection with sustainability of agriculture the effect of biological and mineral phosphorus fertilizers together with spraying plants with microelements on yield and yield components of pinto bean was investigated in an experiment at the Research Station of Rahal Agricultural College in Khoy city in 2012 growing season. The experiment was used factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications and two factors. The first factor consisted of phosphorus fertilizer in four levels (without using of fertilizer, as ontrol; barvar-2-phosphate biofertilizer, barvar-2phosphate biofertilizer together with super phosphate at the rate of 100 kg.ha-1 and only super phosphate at the rate of 200 kg.ha-1) and Second factor consisted of micro element spraying of plants with liquid fertilizer in three levels (without spraying, as control; micro element spraying with concentration of 2% and micro elements spraying with concentration of 4%). The results showed that phosphorus fertilizers, affected except number of grains per pod and 100 seed weight, the plant height, number of main branches per plant, number of leaf per plant, number of pods per plant, harvest index and grain yield significantly. Maximum grain yield were obtained from treatments of super phosphate at rate of 200 kg.ha-1 and barvar-2 phosphate biofertilizer together with super phosphate at rate of 100 kg.ha-1. However, the yields of these two treatments were statistically the same. Therefore, reduce use of chemical fertilizers and protect of natural resources, the use of barvar-2 phosphate biofertilizer is advisable. The effect of spraying plants with micro elements on traits, except number of grains per pod and 100 seed weight, like plant height, number of main branches per plant, number of leaf per plant, number of pods per plant, harvest index and grain yield were significant. Maximum grain yield was also obtained from spraying plants by micro elements with density of 2% and 4% and these two experimental treatments were placed in the same statistical group.

        Life cycle assessment is an appropriate method to study the environmental impacts of producing a crop plant throughout its production cycle. This research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the life cycle of irrigated wheat production under nitrogen amounts and splitting in Bushehr province during 2017-18The as split plots based on a randomized complete blocks design with four replications. Four nitrogen rates including 70, 140, 210 and 280 kg urea ha-1 was considered as main plots and three nitrogen splitting in basal, beginning of tillering, stem elongation and booting stages was chosen as sub plot.The results demonstrated that with increase of nitrogen application an amount of cumulative energy demand, cumulative energy demand, acidification, eutrophiction and malodorous air were decreased. The average amount of ecological footprint was 1125.87 m2 per year which CO2 emissions had shown the highest effect on the ecological footprint. The average amount of global warming potential (GWP) was 20a and GWP 500a were 400.53 and 384.30 kg CO2 eq, respectively. All pollutants released into the air and the water experienced a decreasing trend with increasing nitrogen rate. By group comparing between different levels of nitrogen at splitting levels, it can be stated that the main cause of variations in the amount of pollutants was the higher output (yield) compared to inputs. Indeed, nitrogen application in four developmental stages has resulted in maximum plant use, resulting in increased yield and emission reduction per unit area. Therefore, reducing the emission of pollutants by increasing nitrogen consumption can be due to yield increasing. Manuscript profile

        Cold and drought stresses are considered as the most important factors limiting crop production. To evaluate the effect of these tow stresses on yield and yield components of corn hybrids, a field experiment was implemented in split plots based on a randomized complete block design in 3 replicates during 2014 at the Research Greenhouse of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. In this research, chilling stress in two levels (i.e. non-stress, and cold stress) is considered as the main factor and three levels of drought stress (i.e. irrigation equivalent to 100% of plants water requirement, non-stress as control, irrigation equivalent to 75% of plants water requirement, and irrigation equivalent to 50% of plants water requirement) as sub factor and three hybrid corn (i.e. single-cross 704, single-cross 400, single-cross 260). The results showed that the effects of drought and hybrids on traits under study were significant. Cold and drought stresses interaction of different corn varieties on the traits under study (seed number per ear, 100-seed weight, yield, biological yield and harvest index) was also significant. The highest seed yields of hybrid 704 and hybrid 400 under 100% water requirement were 7887 and 6862 kg.ha-1 respectively. Single-cross 400 variety had the highest water productivity in line with the 704 variety with the highest grain yield and water consumption efficiency, water consumption efficiency for biomass production in water-limited conditions increased. Finally, it shows that cold and drought stress interaction resulted in highest water consumption efficiency in the treatments of non-chilling stress and 100% water requirement. Manuscript profile

        The high cost of chemical fertilizers used in agriculture and the environmental problems due to their use reveal the need to reappraise conventional plant nutrition practices. Integrated use of biofertilizers combined with synthetic fertilizers is one of the essential sustainable agricultural strategies. To this end, this study was carried out by using a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the experimental field of Islamic Azad University, Ahvaz Branch during 2018 cropping season. The first factor was different amounts of triple superphosphate fertilizer with three levels (0, 50 and 100 kg.ha-1) and the second factor was phosphorus biofertilizer also with three levels (0, 100 and 200 g.ha-1). Result of analysis of variance revealed that the effect of different levels of biophosphorus fertilizer and triple superphosphate on all measured characteristics were significant but the interaction effect of treatments was not significant. Based on the results of this study, the highest seed yield, 1000 seed weight, seed oil percentage, head diameter and number of seed per head and lowest empty seed belonged to the use of 100 kg.ha-1 triple superphosphate with 200 g.ha-1 biophosphorus fertilizer. It seems triple superphosphate fertilizer to increase the concentration of soil cadmium by 54%, due to its impurities, including heavy elements, but increasing the levels of phosphorus fertilizer in the soil reduces the concentration of cadmium by 45%. According to these results, the application of 100 kg.ha-1 of triple superphosphate and 200 g.ha-1 of phosphorus fertilizer per hectare, compared to other treatments, may increase seed yield and absorption of elements of sunflower in this region.

        Environmenal problems resulting from application of nitrogen fertilizers in the production plant materials led agricultural specialists to use clean and alternative methods to towards the organic farming and use of organic fertilizers. In this study, thus, the effect of nitrogen and vermicompost fertilizer rates on yield, yield components, essential oil content and some morphological traits of marigold was studied in a split plot experiment based on completely randomized blocks design with 3 replications in Shahr-e-Rey region during 2013 growing season. Nitrogen rates with 3 levels (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg.ha-1) were assigned to main plots and vermicompost with 3 levels (0, 10, and 20 t.ha-1) to the sub plots. Mean comparison of simple effects indicated that the plants treated with 120 kg.ha-1 nitrogen fertilizer and 20 t.ha-1 organic fertilizer vermicompost produced higher trait values under study than control (non application of vermincompost). Interaction effect of experimented factors was significant on all traits under evaluation. Thus, highest seed yield (1567 kg.ha-1), biological yield (6664 kg.ha-1) and essential oil yield (8.85 kg.ha-1) obtained by the application of 120 kg.ha-1 nitrogen fertilizer and 20 t.ha-1 varmicompost. Based on the results obtained it could be said that nitrogen and vermicompost may improve seed and biological yield and yield components of marigold. Manuscript profile

        To study the effects weed competition periods on fruit yield and yield components of Okra and some of its morphological traits, a completely randomized design experiment with 12 treatment and 13 repetitions was carried out at the Research Fields of College of Agriculture of Birjand Branch, Islamic Azad University, in 2016. The plots consisted of the control (free of weeds until 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks after okras growth) and the treatments competing with the weeds within the same periods as mentioned above. Also, two separate plots were designed one for complete weed control during whole growth period and in the other weeds were allowed to compete with okra during the growth period, in order to compare the effects of weeds on okra. In the first group the plots were weeded during periods the mentioned above and in the other weeds were let to compete with okra. In the second group weeds competed with okra from the beginning of the growth period to 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks after germination. There after weed were controlled up to harvest time. The results showed that by increasing competition periods of weeds morphological traits of okra like plant height, main stem branche numbers, fresh fruit length and its diameter, as well as the number of fresh fruits per m-2, fresh fruit and dried fruit yields, biological yield and dried fruit harvest index per plant, dry weight of broad and narrow leaved weeds, and the percentage of dry fruit yield as compared to that of control treatment were significantly decreased. Based on 5 and 10 percent reduction in fruit yield, starting days of critical weed control period was determined to be 29 and 30 days after seed germination. Thus, it can be concluded that the critical weed period, in terms of okra yield in regard with the mentioned levels, was estimate to be 77 and 80 days after seedling emergence. Therefore, it is recommended that from the 29th to 80th day after seedling emergence of the okra, the field ought to be free of weed. Manuscript profile

        Salinity is one of the main factors to reduce crop production worldwide, especially in dry land farms. In this study the effect of pretreatment of wheat seed with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on various traits of wheat (Sardary) including morph-physiological parameters and yield components under salinity conditions were evaluated. This experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications, in greenhouse. Treatments were three salinity levels (0, 80 and 120 Mm) and four concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (0, 25, 50 and 80 Mm). In this study, salinity affected all of yield components, levels of antioxidants, photosynthetic pigments, length and number of leaf stomata. Pretreatment of seed with hydrogen peroxide alleviated the effect of salinity on yield through positive effect on plant water relation, pigments, leaf area and stomata. Plants from pretreatment of seed with hydrogen peroxide had higher relative water content, chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments, leaf area and lower number of stomata and larger length of stomata under salt stress condition as compared with control. Seed pretreatment with hydrogen peroxide also reduced the adverse effect of salinity. Manuscript profile

        Environmental protection and safity of agricultural products are two major goals in sustainable agriculture. Hence, using plant growth promoting rhizobacteria may be effective to reduce chemical inputs. Therefore, a field split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) was conducted at Ghaemshahr, Mazandaran Province in 2015. Treatments were consisted of three levels of phosphorus (P) fertilizer (0 or control, 50 and 100 kg.ha-1 as triple super phosphate) and coinoculation of rice seed and seedling with Trichoderma virens and Piriformospora indica fungi with four levels (uninoculated control, inoculation of seed or seedlings and seed + seedlings inoculation). Results indicated that inoculation with these fungi significantly and positively affected the morpho-physiological traits and paddy yield of rice plant in all P levels. When, 0, 50 and 100 kg.ha-1 was applied, seed inoculation resulted in significant increase of panicle number per plant (33, 19 and 40 percent, respectively), filled seeds per plant (21, 45 and 58 percent, respectively), biological yield (31, 6 and 18 percent, respectively) and paddy yield (37, 48 and 43 percent, respectively). Also, fungi inoculation of rice seeds, seedlings and seeds + seedlings improved paddy yield up to 48, 53 and 53 percent and 43, 44 and 15 percent when 50 and 100 kg.ha-1 of P was applied, respectively. In general, results indicated that all three methods of fungi inoculation had positive effect on rice plants under all P levels, which could be related to those fungi ability to improving the parameters under study such as panicle number per plant and biological yield. In conclusion, the positive effects of using both microorganisms and P were more pronounced than using P alone. Manuscript profile

        Brago is an important medicinal plant. This study, thus, was conducted with different levels of nano particles of titanium (0.01, 0.03 and 0.05%) and elemental titanium on its different growth stages (4-5 leaf, flowering and after flowering) with four replications in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design at the Agricultural Field of Rement Village of Babol, Mazandaran, Iran, in 2012. Results showed that there were a significant differences between treatments of titanium, time of treatments and between their interactions. Among the traits under study, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, stem fresh weigh at 1% and plant hight, stem dry weight, total plant fresh weight and total plant dry weight at %5 levels of probabilities showed significant differences for their interaction between different treatments of titanium and different stage of development. The highest plant height, leaf dry weight and plant fresh weight and plant dry weight were produced when nano particles of titanium applied after flowering stage. Where as, the highest fresh leaf, fresh stem weight and total plant fresh weights were obtained when plants treated with titanium at flowering stage. On the other hand, dry weight of flowering branches showed significant negative correlation with GPX antioxidant enzyme. The lowest GPX antioxidant enzyme was produced when nano particles of titanium were applied after flowering stage at 0.01% probability level. As a whole, the results of this experiment suggest that there are significant differences among titanium treatments when they are applied at different growth stages of this plant.

        The problem of decision-making in social, political, economic, legal and etc. issues is a problem with uncertainty, and this uncertainty is the main issue in fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is an advanced method for making decisions in all problems, which has been investigated in many researches, but the role of the weight of input components has not been explored much. The purpose of this research is to express the role of weight of input components and how to modify the weight of input components to achieve a fairer decision. In this research, first the concept of fuzzy logic is described and then the problem of weight is discussed from a mathematical point of view and it has been shown that how much the application of the correct weight to the input variables can affect the issue of justice in decision making. Also, the method of "Variance Components Estimation" to correct the weight of input data has been introduced and described, and this mathematical point of view has been used and the process of weight correction in social, political, economic and etc. issues has been investigated. The mentioned examples have shown that correcting the weight of the input variables makes the result more consistent with the concept of reality and also with the concept of justice. Finally, suggestions have been made so that different issues can be analyzed with a special process so that the inputs of different issues can correctly affect the results and achieve a more fair decision.

        This This This research adopts a socio-psycho-biological approach to address the types, mechanisms and methodology of research on malfunctions of linguistic hegemony/inequalities. Drawing on Harrison&rsquo;s &lsquo;Principles of Harrison Internal Medicine: Neurological Diseases (2018)&rsquo; , the study reveals in that text some dimensions of linguistic hegemony and highlights the necessity of research on biological aspects of language, linguistic hegemony/inequalities and the biological consequences resulting from linguistic hegemony. The research also deals with some assumptions underlying medical linguistics and raises a number of questions on &lsquo;linguistically-oriented medical study of brain and neurons&rsquo;. It is argued that the preliminary findings of this research can pave the way for an initial theoretical/methodological foundation whose operationalization would require deeper interdisciplinary studies. This also requires stronger academic/scientific support from experts of different disciplines and financial support from relevant institutions. In the absence of such support, the issue can be approached from an &lsquo;interpretive&rsquo; perspective per se. Manuscript profile

        It is an imperfect inquiry to study religious changes in contemporary Iran without considering new religious movements in the world. In this essay, the most important characteristics of religious developments in contemporary world are studied from a global perspective in order to recognize the main trend of these changes. Here, using the method of logical analysis of and inference from knowledge gathered in the realm of sociology of religion, the characteristics of new religious movements and their possible trends are identified. Some of these characteristics include: the proliferation of movements that are undogmatic, unregulated and unstructured, personal experience as the measure of truth claims, the notion of religion as a self-revising system, the principle of salvation without intermediaries, multiple membership, and the goal of liberating humanity, either through self-knowledge, which includes understanding the self as part of the universal Self, or through self-transformation through transformation of the world, as in engaged spirituality..

        In the current era, as other areas of social research methods, transition has occurred. Moving the social research methods from quantitative and strict methods to qualitative, humanistic and interpretive ones have doubled the importance of qualitative social researches.&nbsp; The case study is also one of the most common methods of qualitative research which examines the unique form of a single case such as a person, family, community etc. In this method, according to Leen, phenomena within the context of real life are studied in integrated form through the inductive approach and with the aim of theory building. As one of the criticisms on case study method is its low internal validity, so this study tries to explain the case study and its different types (intrinsic, instrumental and original), and using the triangulation in case studies in order to validate research findings and case studies (construct validity of case study). As the main function of the triangulation is using the different methods in order to decrease the level of misinterpretation, improve the internal validity and also converge the different perspectives, we hope that using it in qualitative methods, especially in case study helps us to overcome this problem.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        This study examined the impact of criminological data on criminalresponsibility. The criminal responsibility of adults, minors and teenagers,legal persons in the light of criminological data and the role ofcriminological studies and findings are expressed in the evolution ofcriminal law. Criminal law can&rsquo;t justify the liability of legal personsunder the same standard of legal responsibility for individuals. Recentdevelopments in criminal responsibility were the recognition of criminalliability of legal persons. About the age of criminal responsibility foradolescents, at the end of the age of 18, the criminal liability of theperson is not complete in sanctions, but in the case of the retaliation andlimitation of a girl after the age of 9 years and the boy after 15 years offull lunar criminal liability is complete. This is an inconsistency. It ismore appropriate that the age of criminal maturity in the limitation andretaliation is higher than sanctions. Measurable performance in criminalproceedings requires that, the degree of action against crimes committedby children and adolescents be increased in line with age and theirunderstanding and accountability. With the legalization of criminologicalfindings, the law is updated in accordance with the conditions andrequirements of the community. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Throughout history, war has always been a remarkable phenomenon and has been studied from a variety of dimensions. In the past, the attitudes of rulers and politicians to victory over the enemy have been based on military warfare, but in the present time, a new but complex and widespread approach, called war and psychological operations, using different techniques and tools, with many examples, including "spying" Is underway. Spying and the need to identify the boundary between the crime and its permission are important issues that need to be analyzed, since spying in terms of jurisprudence and law has works and rules that can not be carried out on all the examples of that sanction. This article seeks to answer the following questions: What is the scope of spying from the point of view of jurisprudence and Islamic law? And in what cases is it worthy of respect or necessity? The present study was descriptive-analytic and the data was collected by library method and document analysis. The results of the research show that in jurisprudence and Islamic law, the investigation of individuals' personal circumstances is prohibited and immoral, but the search for agents to monitor their work and spy on foreign and domestic enemy's affairs to protect the Islamic system and the security of Muslims is not only forbidden. It is not immoral, but it is imperative and necessary in the wisdom and the wisdom. Manuscript profile

        Abstract[1] Nowadays dietary supplements such as immunostimulants and prebiotics are being applied as a potential replacement of antibiotics in preferment of health and creation resistance against diseases in aquaculture. This survey was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of commercial prebiotic Immunogen with main ingredients 30% (1, 3-1,6) &szlig;glucan and 18% mannanoligosaccharide in ration of great sturgeon (Huso huso) juveniles in 8weeks in Shahid Marjani Sturgeon Propagation and Rearing Center in summer 2009. Hematological and immunological indices of great sturgeon juveniles in five treatments (0, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 4%) of Immunogen in diet statistically compared. Three weight groups of great sturgeon juveniles with average weight 8.71&plusmn;0.02 g, 25.15&plusmn;0.01 g and 53.69&plusmn;0.02 g were stocked in tanks and fed six times a day. The results showed the number of neutrophil in fishes fed with the diet supplemented with 0.5%, 1% and 4% Immunogen was significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) than the control. Level of immunoglobulin M (IgM) in fishes fed with the diet supplemented with 0.5% Immunogen was higher than the other diet treatments. No significant difference was observed in other hematological indices between three weight of treatments and five treatments of Immunogen (P&gt;0.05). It seemed that Immunogen in concentration 0.5% can serve as functional feedstuffs in the diet of great sturgeon juveniles by stimulating immunity responses. &nbsp; *- Corresponding Authors; Email: mohajer_m@hotmail.com Manuscript profile

        The logical usages is the practical way or mental opinion of all the rational people all over the world, regardless of their spatial, temporal and religious differences, which find it useful and good in dealing with a phenomenon. There are two general views about the criteria of validity of logical usage: first, instrumental validity and second, per se validity. The validity of new usages is based on second view. Although logical usages are used by jurists in criminal jurisprudence but it seems that it should has more important role in criminal jurisprudence. Some of its applications in the criminal jurisprudence are: the definition of “Herz”(protected), what is robbed needs to be property, the criterion of Roshd (growth), the mere criminal intent has no punishment, the community needs to regulate, impose criminal penalties and restrict freedom, financial penalties as a kind of “Tazir”(punishment).

        Meat products producers represent their specific formulation; therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the presence of frauds in such products. This research was conducted to evaluate the quality of meat products at restaurants of Tabriz. For this, a total of 33 samples of ground meat mixes used for Kebab making were obtained. The samples were subjected to chemical and histological assays. Chemical analyzing was performed by means of collagen and hydroxyproline amino acid indices using colorimetric method. Moreover, histological evaluation was conducted by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results showed that mean values of hydroxyproline and collagen were 0.0384&plusmn;0.0268 and mean was 0.2993&plusmn;0.0209, respectively. Besides, the presence of unauthorized bone, cartilage and lung tissues were found in 12.1 %, 18.2 % and 9.1 %, respectively. Comparison of the histological and chemical outcomes revealed that a direct difference between amount of meat and hydroxyproline ranges. Moreover, the amount of hydroxyproline was different among various tissues (i.e., hydroxyproline content was in high level in fraud samples). It was concluded that handmade meat products prepared in Tabriz were not free of inadvertent/intentional fraud; therefore organized control is essential. Manuscript profile

        The use of medicinal plants can be effective in increasing the growth of aquatic organisms and to promote a non-specific immune level to increase resistance to diseases in aquaculture. Zataria multiflora, a plant of the Lamiaceae family, is an example of such medicinal plants containing mainly thymol and carvacrol, with well-known antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different doses of thyme powder (Zataria multflora) on growth performance and serumic parameters of young common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Therefore, two hundred and forty fish, with initial weight of 20/27&plusmn;5.13 g, were distributed among the treatments. Food was made with adding the powdered thyme in 4 formulations with 0 (control or Group 1), 50 (Group II), 100 (Group III) and eventually 150 ppm (Group IV) with a size of 4.3 mm. It was fed to the fish 3 to 4 times a day at a rate of 3-4% of their body weight, for 8 weeks. Specific growth rate and serumic parameters including total protein, albumin and globulin were measured and one-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences in the values of the variables studied in different treatments. Results showed that the average weight in group 3 (57/11&plusmn;4/37) was significantly (p&lt;0/05) increased compared to the control group (38/49&plusmn;2/61) and other treatments. Specific growth rate followed this pattern and the average of group 3 (1/87&plusmn;0/17) was significantly (p&lt;0/05) greater than the control as the minimum value (1/08&plusmn;0/14) and the other groups. There was a significant difference in the amounts of total protein (p=0/005) and globulin (p=0/017) between the 4 groups. Based on the results, powdered thyme is effective in improving growth and serumic parameters of common carp (C. carpio). Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and hematological features of Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) among horses in Khuzestan. The study was performed on 257 Arabian horses kept in 6 cities of this province (including Shushtar, Bavi, Ahvaz, Susangard, Abadan, and Ramhormoz). The horses were examined for the presence or absence and location of skin lesions, along with the individual animal information, which was recorded. Blood sampling was done in some animals (32 healthy horses and 61 affected horses), the blood samples were evaluated for hematologic appearance. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results showed that the main lesions visible in infected animals were hair loss (with a frequency of 93.1%) and the lowest was scarring (1.4%). The location of skin lesions was reported to be mainly in the head and neck area (85.6%). Also, in the majority of the infected horses (37.5%), there were skin lesions in all parts of the body (including head and neck, trunk, and limbs). The distribution of the skin lesions observed in different areas of the body of the studied animals was almost similar, and so all three sites of alopecia demonstrated the highest frequency and the lowest frequency of scars. The analysis of hematological findings indicated that only the difference between the number of basophils and MCV and MCH values of healthy and IBH affected animals was found to be significant(P &lt;0.05). The results of this study showed that the affected animals were marked by skin lesions diversity, frequency and distribution Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of some serum parameters in the diagnosis of fatty liver in cattle with special attention to its degree and to determine the best cut point of these parameters in order to predict the occurrence of fatty liver. Blood and liver samples of 28 cows were taken at the time of slaughter. Serum concentrations of liver enzymes, bilirubin, protein, and lipid profile were determined and the ratio of blood lipids to HDL was calculated. BCS and age of the cows were also recorded. ROC statistical model was used to determine critical thresholds for fatty liver prediction. As the severity of fatty liver increases, AST, GGT, cholesterol and HDL increases, and these can be used as a biomarker to identify severe and mild fatty liver. Also, the severity of the disease increases as the BCS decreases and age increases. ROC analysis showed that AST, GGT, protein, cholesterol to HDL, BCS and age are suitable for predicting the disease. The best cut-off point for predicting fatty liver was suggested as 55.05 IU/L for AST, 14 U/L for GGT, 6.55 mg/dl for total protein and 3.18 for cholesterol to HDL ratio. The best cut point for BCS and age was 4.25 and 6.5 years, respectively. The result showed that measurement of liver enzymes and lipid profile is of acceptable diagnostic importance in determining the degree of fatty liver in cows in field conditions and can be a suitable method to replace liver biopsy.

        In ruminants, cobalt is essential for synthesis of vitamin B12 by rumen microflora. Emaciation and anemia are the most important consequences of cobalt deficiency in ruminants. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cobalt, iron, zinc, and manganese levels of soil and forage with each other and with serum levels of cobalt, zinc, and vitamin B12 in emaciated and normal sheep of Ramhormoz city. Eight soil and 8 forage samples were taken from four areas in Ramhormoz city. The soil and forage samples were analyzed. Blood samples were collected from 25 (15 emaciated and 10 normal) and 43 sheep (28 emaciated and 15 normal) from areas with more and less than 0.07 &mu;g cobalt/Kg of DM forage, respectively and were analyzed to determine serum cobalt, zinc, vitamin B12 values and some hematological parameters. The forage cobalt value in Plim (0.052&plusmn;0.02 mg/kg dry matter (DM)) and Larkiabad (0.054&plusmn;0.00 mg/kg DM) regions was lower than the standard value. The mean soil iron value (15767&plusmn;1333 mg/kg arid soil) was more than its critical level in Ramhormoz. The highest soil manganese values in Larkiabad and Plim regions were associated with the lowest forage cobalt values. There was no statistically significant difference between serum levels of cobalt, zinc, and vitamin B12 in the emaciated and normal sheep. It is possible that the high amounts of soil iron and manganese, due to their chelating effects, could reduce the cobalt bio-availability of forage. Contrary to the available literature, the presence of 0.05 &mu;g cobalt/Kg of DM forage is capable of providing sufficient amounts of cobalt and vitamin B12 for sheep in the region.

After blood sampling, autopsy of fishes were performed based on seeking parasitical infection of abdominal cavity to larval stage of Contracaecum sp. Then haematological tests were performed including differential counting of white blood cells, measuring Haematocrit (PCV) and total counting of red blood cells and white blood cells. The result in both groups showed that lymphocytes with 80.56 % had the highest frequency among white blood cells, whereas the frequency of thrombocytes, neutrophils and monocytes were 9.56%, 7.48% and 2.45% respectively, while no basophil and eosinophil were found among the samples. Comparison of white blood cells and thrombocytes among uninfected and infected fishes to the parasites showed that amount of lymphocytes decreased by increasing infection while occurrence of monocytes increased in severe infection in comparison with uninfected stage. Occurrence of neutrophils and thrombocytes increased too. Average amount of haematocrit in uninfected, mild infection and in severe infection fishes were different and decreased. Average counting of red blood cells like haematocrit decreased in uninfected, mild infection and in severe infection, while average counting of white blood cells increased in uninfected, mild infection and in severe infection.&nbsp; Statistically, the changes of lymphocytes, neutrophils, thrombocytes, haematocrit and average counting of white blood cells were significant (p=0.001).

        Fasciolosis is a zoonotic disease of humans and animals causing health problems and great economic losses in different parts of the world including Iran. Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica are well-known agents for fasciolosis. Due to health and economic implications of this disease and the lack of field studies on fasciolosis in living ruminants of East Azerbaijan, the current study was carried out to determine fasciolosis status in living ruminants from different regions of East Azerbaijan province based on coprologic method for the first time. For this purpose, a total of 2012 fecal samples (1782 from sheep and 230 from cattle) were collected and examined under light microscope. The microscopic findings showed that of all the samples, 62 (3.48%) from sheep and 10 (4.35%) from cattle were infected with Fasciola spp. eggs. A total of 72 (3.58%) fecal samples were infected by fasciola eggs. Geographically, the highest percentage of infection in cattle and sheep were observed in the northern regions of province with 6.14% and 5.21% respectively. In terms of age the infection rates in cattle under and over 2 years were 3.81% (4.105) and 4/8% (6.125) respectively whereas those for sheep were 4.38% (41.937) and 2.49% (21.845). The results indicated presence of fasciolosis amongst ruminants of the province necessitating further studies to detect the unknown aspects of disease and regular antiparasitic treatments for its prevention.

Although the therapeutic effects of low-level laser radiation of different wavelengths and doses are well known, but the exact mechanism of action of the laser radiation on living cells is not yet determined. The present study is designed to evaluate the photobiological effects of 2 mw helium neon laser with wavelength of 632.8 nm on hematologic and biochemical factors of rabbit blood for this purpose, 30 male New Zealand white rabbits with the body weight of 1/5-2 kg were randomly allocated into two groups of control and laser treatment. Animals of both groups were anesthetized and those of laser treatment group were subjected to irradiation with helium neon laser at a&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wavelength of 632.8 nm and output 2 mw for 30 minutes. Finally blood samples were collected from all animals and the biochemical and hematologic factors evaluated. Significant difference (p&lt;0.05( was observed in the amounts of albumin, total protein, LDH, CPU and WBC between the control and laser treatment group. According to the obtained result, low level laser increases the total protein, albumin, lactase dehydrogenates and creatin kinase activity and decreases which blood cell numbers. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Aerosols have influenced many provinces of Iran for several years. In addition to its adverse effects on humans , it seems that it has impacted the physiological conditions of plants and domestic animals in affected areas. Therefore, in this study we are&nbsp; investigating the short- term effects of aerosols on vital signs and some hematologic and serologic factors of holstein cows in Ilam province. In this study, 80 healthy and mature female cows were selected. At the beginning of our study and two days before the exposure, we recorded the cows&rsquo; vital signs including; temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate, we also took 5 ml jugular vein blood samples (before exposure group). Then, after exposure over four separate times (once in three days)&nbsp; the aforementioned vital signs were recorded and the blood sample was taken. The obtained data before the exposure was then compared to the recorded data after exposure. The results showed that aerosols significantly increased the cows HR and RR. And the level of RBC, PCV(%), total WBC, NEUT and EOS were also increased significantly (p&lt;0.05). Also, the data indicated that aerosols caused an increase in serum factors such as CHOL، TG، LDL، HDL، TP and CRP. However these differences were only significant in TG, TP and CRP (p&lt;0.05). The results showed that aerosols caused changes in the vital signs and the number of WBC in the exposed group. Manuscript profile

        Abstract &nbsp; Equine infectious anemia (EIA) is caused by the equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), which infects the animals in the family Equidae and is classified in the subfamily Lentivirinae of the family Retroviridae. The disease leads to fever, hemolytic anemias, icterus, depression and chronic weight loss. This study was conducted on 287 horses (200 male and 87 female) in Tabriz area in Iran in order to determine the seroprevalence of equine infectious anemia. Blood was collected from all horses and the sera were analyzed for the presence of antibodies to equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) using an ELISA test with IDEXX kit. The mean of Optical Density (OD) was 0.372&plusmn; 0.016.&nbsp; In these samples the lowest and highest levels were 0.273 and 0.511 respectively. There was no positive case according to the observed results. Mean OD was 0.381&plusmn; 0.014 in male horses and 0.387&plusmn;0.010 in female horses, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P= 0.356). The horses were studied in four age groups: 1-3 (54 horses), 3-6 (125 horses), 6-9 (70 horses) and over 9 years old (38 horses). Mean OD was 0.373&plusmn;0.011, 0.381&plusmn;0.012, 0.383&plusmn;0.009, 0.388&plusmn;0.017 in these groups respectively.

        Academic procrastination is one of the most visible and problematic problems among students. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of self-regulated learning in the relationship between basic psychological needs and academic procrastination in students. The statistical population of this study included students of Urmia Farhangian University in the academic year 1397, from which 212 students were selected and participated in this study. Data collection tools included the Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire (1995), the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale (2003) and the Academic Procrastination Scale (1984). The results showed that academic procrastination has a negative and significant relationship with self-regulated learning and basic psychological needs (p &lt;0.05). The results of path analysis showed that self-regulated learning has a mediating role in the relationship between basic psychological needs and academic procrastination (p &lt;0.05). This means that in students, basic psychological needs can reduce academic procrastination by affecting self-regulated learning. Accordingly, in the field of education, it is necessary to organize the interventions used to reduce academic procrastination in students in order to satisfy basic psychological needs and self-regulated learning.

        The aim of the current research was to predict academic satisfaction based on psychological needs with the mediating role of Class-Related Emotion and early maladaptive schemas. In this correlational description, with a random cluster method, 741 students aged 13 to 14 years old in 15th district of Tehran in 1400 were selected as a sample and were asked to answer the basic psychological needs questionnaire of Desi (2000), the Dusseldorf Child Schema Picture Questionnaire (DISC) Luez, Mayer and Petroski (2018), the Class-Related Emotion Scales, derived from the academic emotions questionnaire (AEQ) Pekrun et al (2005) and the academic satisfaction subscale, derived from the multi-dimensional life satisfaction (H&ouml;bner, 2001). The data were analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) software. The results showed that psychological needs variable with the mediation of positive and negative academic emotions and initial incompatible plans have a significant effect in explaining academic satisfaction and the overall effect of this change on academic satisfaction is also significant. Therefore, satisfying basic psychological needs can increase positive Class-Related Emotion, decrease negative Class-Related Emotion, and decrease initial incompatible schema and so it can increase academic satisfaction. Based on the results, educational psychologists can simultaneously play an important role in Class-Related Emotion and early maladaptive schemas and improve academic satisfaction by considering the basic psychological needs, and thus they can eliminate the factors that cause them to be discouraged with their lessons and education.

        Test anxiety is one of the most common problems among students. The purpose of this study was to investigate the test anxiety prediction based on fundamental psychological needs and cognitive emotion regulation in students. A total of 212 students of Urmia University of Cultural Sciences were selected by available sampling method during the academic year of 2018. They participated in this study. Data were collected by a questionnaire including Test Anxiety Inventory, Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale, and Cognitive-Emotional Regulation Strategies Questionnaire. The results of this study showed that there is a positive correlation between basic psychological needs and compromised strategies of cognitive-emotional regulation with negative anxiety test and uncomplicated strategies of cognitive emotion regulation with test anxiety. The results of hierarchical regression analysis also indicated that in the first step, the competence of 13% of the test anxiety variance was explained. In the second step, adding unstructured adjustment strategies to the regression equation, the explained variance increased to 16%. In the third step, by adding adapted strategies of adjustment, the explained variance increased to 19% and in step 4, with the addition of autonomy, the explained variance increased to 21%. Therefore, psychological interventions are required to meet the basic psychological needs and emotional cognitive adjustment in the student's test anxiety. Manuscript profile

        Some of the major challenges to teaching in classrooms and schools are students&rsquo; anergia, reluctance and sloth in academic affairs, which usually cause dissatisfaction among educators. Therefore, the main purpose of the present research was to investigate the students&rsquo; academic engagement based on social and psychological capitals. The statistical population consisted of high school students (junior and senior) of the city of Dehloran in the academic year 2018-2019, a sample of out of which 321 persons were selected through cluster sampling. Data collection tools were standard questionnaires of Rio&rsquo;s Academic Engagement (2013) Luthans&rsquo;s Psychological Capital (2007) and Social Capital, whose validity and reliability were examined according to experts&rsquo; opinions, and a reliability (Cronbach&rsquo;s alpha) of 0.86 was obtained. The results showed that the means of all three variables of academic engagement, social capital and psychological capital were at an average level. Pearson&rsquo;s correlation test indicated that social capital (r=0.54 and p&le;0.000) and psychological capital (r=0.62 and p&le;0.000) have direct significant relationship with academic engagement. Regression analysis results showed that psychological capital and social capital predicted academic engagement as R2=0.40 and R2=0.34 respectively. Moreover, both variables could predict the changes of variance of the dependent variable as R2=0.43. Accordingly, it can be concluded that these two capitals can affect students&rsquo; academic engagement. Hence, special attention should be paid to these capitals. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Promoting productivity is an essential prerequisite for organizational survival in today's highly competitive and dynamic contexts. &nbsp;Hence, a vital managerial task concerns the efficient use of resources that can guarantee achievement of goals and attainment of predicted outcomes. A necessary condition for improving sustainable productivity is identification and optimizing challenges and issues that are closely associated with organizational productivity. Therefore, the current exploratory, applied and mixed-method study presents a model of the main problems in improving productivity among employees in Tehran Municipality. Initially, the data obtained from structured interviews with 10 human resource management experts in the field were analyzed via Theme Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling and the effective factors were coded and categorized as a model. Further, the model was operationally tested quantitatively using the views of 384 managers and experts in the Department of Urban and Environmental Services of Tehran Municipality. To this end, the three-layer confirmatory factor analysis was undertaken using the PLS software. The results of the data analysis showed five main categories of factors effecting employee productivity including individual, managerial, organizational, cultural and technological factors.

        Productivity can be studied from different dimensions such as energy efficiency, capital, manpower, equipment, etc. Productivity of human resources is one of its most important dimensions and the correct use of other resources also depends on its productivity. Identifying and describing productivity indicators in different dimensions is one of the basic steps of productivity management. This is especially important in scientific and technological organizations. In the current study, the statistical population includes managers and experts of scientific and technological organizations. In this article, the mentioned indicators, with a sample size of 350 were reviewed through a questionnaire using qualitative methods of content analysis and content analysis and confirmatory factor analysis using MAXQDA, SPSS and AMOS software. The results revealed five general indicators: "effective and efficient planning", "financial and technological factors", "motivation, commitment and teamwork spirit","competitiveness and development" and "knowledge, skills and system thinking" as the most important indicators of human resource productivity in scientific and technological organizations. The indicator of knowledge, skills and system thinking has the lowest coefficient and that of effective and efficient planning has the highest coefficient in the final model. Accordingly, to increase the productivity of their human resources, scientific and technological organizations should pay special attention to team building skills, development of decentralized decision processes, strengthening the spirit of participation along with factors such as improving the quality of equipment, technologies and financial issues.

        Today, the construction industry has a significant share of the economy and is considered as a leading and employment-generating industry. Due to various and sometimes risky activities during construction, there is a possibility of risks and personal and financial injuries, the control of which can be very effective in the success of the project. In the present study, a model for evaluating the safety risks of construction projects has been presented and new powerful tools such as fuzzy expert system improved with genetic algorithm have been used. Therefore, at first, the main factors influencing the safety of construction projects were identified by studying the literature and consulting with experts. Then, a questionnaire was provided to the experts to obtain their views and assess the severity of the risk effect and the probability of the occurrence of each risk. Then, based on the experts&rsquo; views, an expert system was obtained to assess the risks, which instead of using zero and one logic, governing expert systems, fuzzy logic was used. In the proposed model, to improve the performance of the fuzzy expert system, the genetic algorithm was employed as an optimizer. The research results indicated the optimal performance of the proposed model in assessing the safety risks of construction projects, so that the error rate of the model was acceptable. The model can also provide an effective tool for project managers in assessing and refining the safety situation in the construction site. Manuscript profile

        Choosing a suitable opportunity in conditions of uncertainty is a common problem for entrepreneurs. The software startup procedure is particularly vulnerable to extreme uncertainty and competition; therefore, analyzing opportunities and threats is critical for software entrepreneurs. Hence, the present study aims to identify the criteria of uncertainty in evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities in technology-driven businesses of the software industry with a fuzzy approach using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. The statistical population of the research includes experts in the software industry. In this regard, first, a theoretical basis was obtained by examining the background. Second, we performed semi-structured interviews and extracted and coded 115 phrases. Third, after combining the general and subsidiary phrases, we reached 84 phrases, and by combining similar phrases, we selected 29 phrases. Forth, after categorizing those phrases, we determined the six axes of uncertainty and used the fuzzy Ahp technique and Geometric Buckley averaging in Microsoft Excel to rank those six axes as follows: 1-uncertainty in resources, 2-uncertainty in competition, 3-technological uncertainty, 4-political uncertainty, 5-uncertainty in agents, and 6-customer uncertainty. Finally, the model of evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities in conditions of uncertainty was designed using a fuzzy approach in the software industry. Manuscript profile

        The main objective of the current study was studying the relationship betweenThe quality of work life, psychological empowerment and the interactive effect of demographic variables on staff productivity of Zahedan Municipality. The research population was 257 staff members of the central municipality of Districts 1, 2 and 3 of Zahedan. By using Krejcie and Morgan (1971) sample size determining tables, a sample size of 155 people was calculated. The sampling method was random stratified sampling. For collecting data, Walton (1973) quality of work life, Spreitzer (1996) psychological empowerment and Hersey and Goldsmith (1980) productivity questionnaires were used. The data of the questionnaires were analyzed in descriptive and inferential statistics level comprising Pearson correlation coefficient test, step by step regression, simultaneous regression, multivariate analysis of variance and through Spss 16.5 software. The findings indicate that there is a positive and significant correlation among all aspects of quality of work life and psychological empowerment with staff productivity. In the step by step regression, the dimension of growth opportunity and continuous security as well as the dimension of influence had the best capacity to predict productivity. Among the demographic variables, only gender interaction &times; work experience and age interaction &times; gender have led to the difference in the average scores of the staff in productivity.

        One of the key factors that lead organizations and high education centers to deficieney is that their processes and obtained results are not evaluted well. In the case that high education centers realize their positions well and become aware of their weaknesses, they will no doubt attempt to eliminate those deficiencies. The purpose of this research, whose implementation scope is one of the technical-engineering complexes, is to present a method for the evalution of the performance of management in engineer training centers based on the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) excellence model. Since the existing decision &ndash; making environment of high education centers, like many other organizations, is generally fuzzy and vague, for a further adjustment of the mentioned method with the existing situations of high education centers the proposed model is designed in fuzzy environments so that we would be able to evaluate the management performance of high engineering education centers in a more accurate way.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        In the present era, green supply chain management is considered as an important organizational philosophy in reducing environmental hazards and a preventive approach to increase organizational performance. Different industries are obliged to enforce environmental compliance during various supply chain processes to meet environmental obligations in their production or service activities. Hence, the main purpose of the current enquiry was to design a two-level model for green supply chain management practice and to analyze the relevant importance of each component, via fuzzy analysis, in enhancing green productivity in the Petrochemical Industry in Bushehr province, Iran. The research population consisted experts and specialists from both the industry and the university. The research data were gleaned through a researcher-made questionnaire. To serve the purpose, the study commenced with reviewing the existing literature via a qualitative content analysis approach which identified 12 important measures that can be taken in the field of green supply chain management. Having validated the Two-Level Model, the importance of each of the measures was computed via Fuzzy analysis. Finally, the managerial measures in Green Supply Chain were classified and, accordingly, suggestions were presented to the Petrochemical Industries Managers concerning how to improve their situation.

        This article aims to study the interplay between public culture and public administration from various angles. The public administration is evolved in the cultural breeding-ground on the one hand and the social culture is formed and developed with an eye to the mechanisms governing the public administration on the other. The culture of every society resembles a tree, with its own roots, trunks, branches, boughs, leaves and fruits, which is distinct from other cultures. This cultural tree is crystallized with principles and values in its roots, concepts and structures in its trunk, and outside manifestations in its leaves. With the help of this allegory and metaphor, we can easily delve into the complicated concept of culture which has been discussed by the theorists of the social sciences and then make an assessment of the public administration status. Based on this viewpoint, the public administration in every society may also be regarded as the components of a cultural tree in the same society emerging with its own endemic and particular characteristics. This tree will obviously sprout and develop in a special soil conditioned by various elements such as geographical, ecological, political, economic, social, legal and technological features and systems as well as security and military factors. In this way, an administrative system is born, evolves and develops a sense of direction. With the perception of such elements, an administrative system, being more effective and efficient, can be established so as to run and regulate the communal affairs more rationally.

        The main purpose of this research was to study perceived organizational justice and adherence to psychological contracts with organizational citizenship behavior among employees. For this purpose, 280 subjects were selected through stratified random sampling, based on Mitchell and Julie sample size table. The research method was descriptive and correlational. Research instruments consisted of organizational citizenship behavior questionnaire (Lee &amp; Allen, 2002), organizational justice (Niehoff &amp; Moorman, 1993) and psychological contracts (Rousseau, 1995). The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and simultaneous and stepwise regression. Results indicated that there was a significant relationship between perceived organizational justice in all three dimensions distributive, procedural, interactional and adherence to psychological contracts in two dimensions transactional and relational, with Organizational citizenship behavior toward coworkers and organization (P&le;0.01). Also, the results of the regression analysis showed that adherence to transactional psychological contracts, distributive justice and interactional justice has explained 45.7 % of variance in organizational citizenship behavior. Finally, we can conclude that perceived organizational justice and adherence to psychological contracts are important predictive factors of organizational citizenship behaviors. Manuscript profile

        This paper proposes an application of a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model to the prediction of complex mass transfer behavior in smart toilet bidet systems. The model is constructed through the integration of fuzzy logic theory, nonlinear autoregressive moving average exogenous input models, neural networks, and data clustering algorithms. To develop the model for estimating the air quality of the smart toilet-bidet system, many datasets are collected from a smart toilet bidet model equipped with an automatic odor/bacteria suction system using Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas. Many case studies were carried out as a function of the suction flow rate, suction angle, the number of suction holes, and suction hole size. The inputs for training the fuzzy model are the size, number, and angles of suction holes, whereas its output is the undesirable gas concentration. The trained fuzzy model is tested using different datasets. Modeling and testing results show the effectiveness of the fuzzy model in predicting the gas concentration of the toilet bowl. The proposed fuzzy model is expected to be useful in the implementation of smart toilet bowl systems in the near future. Manuscript profile

        Student assessment is a very important process in education, because it helps the instructor to determine student mistakes and to improve their performance by reforming his/her teaching plans. A hybrid assessment method using qualitative grades for evaluating student mathematical skills is presented in this work. The paper starts with the mathematical background which is necessary for the understanding of its contents. This includes basic information about fuzzy, neutrosophic and soft sets, and about grey numbers. It also includes a description of the use of the center of gravity (COG) defuzzification technique for assessing a student group’s quality performance. The COG technique is compared with the classical method of calculating the GP A index. The hybrid assessment method, which is based on all the previous concepts and processes, is developed next and the article closes with the final conclusion and some recommendations for future research.

        The class of De Morgan residuated lattices was introduced by L. C. Holdon (Kybernetika 54(3):443-475, 2018), recently, many mathematicians have studied the theory of ideals or filters in De Morgan residuated lattices and some of them investigated the properties of De Morgan residuated lattices endowed with a topology. In this paper, we introduce the notion of semitopological De Morgan residuated lattice, we present some examples and by considering the notion of upsets, for any element a of a De Morgan residuated lattice L, there is a topology τa on L and we show that L endowed with the topology τa is semitopological with respect to _, ^ and ⊙, and right topological with respect to ! . Moreover, in the general case of residuated lattices we prove that L endowed with the topology τa is semitopological with respect to ⊙ and right topological with respect to ! . Finally, we obtain some of the topological aspects of this structure such as L endowed with the topology τa is a T0-space, but it is not a T1-space or Hausdorff space. Manuscript profile

        Economic and financial phenomena are highly complex and non-linear. However, surprisingly, in many cases, these phenomena are accurately described by linear models – or, sometimes, by piecewise linear ones. In this paper, we show that fuzzy techniques can explain the unexpected efficiency of linear and piecewise linear models: namely, we show that a natural fuzzy-based precisiation of imprecise (“fuzzy”) expert knowledge often leads to linear and piecewise linear models. We show this by applying invariance ideas to analyze which membership functions, which fuzzy “and”-operations (t-norms), and which fuzzy implication operations are most appropriate for applications to economics and finance. We also discuss which expert-motivated nonlinear models should be used to get a more accurate description of economic and financial phenomena: specifically, we show that a natural next step is to add cubic terms to the linear (and piece-wise linear) expressions, and, in general, to consider polynomial (and piece-wise polynomial) dependencies.

        1316 - Min and Max are the Only Continuous $\&$- and $\vee$-Operations for Finite Logics
        Vladik Kreinovich
        Experts usually express their degrees of belief in their statements by the words of a natural language (like “maybe”, “perhaps”, etc.). If an expert system contains the degrees of beliefs t(A) and t(B) that correspond to the statements A and B, and a user asks this exp More
        Experts usually express their degrees of belief in their statements by the words of a natural language (like “maybe”, “perhaps”, etc.). If an expert system contains the degrees of beliefs t(A) and t(B) that correspond to the statements A and B, and a user asks this expert system whether “A & B” is true, then it is necessary to come up with a reasonable estimate for the degree of belief of A & B. The operation that processes t(A) and t(B) into such an estimate t(A & B) is called an &-operation. Many different &-operations have been proposed. Which of them to choose? This can be (in principle) done by interviewing experts and eliciting a &-operation from them, but such a process is very time-consuming and therefore, not always possible. So, usually, to choose a &-operation, we extend the finite set of actually possible degrees of belief to an infinite set (e.g., to an interval [0, 1]), define an operation there, and then restrict this operation to the finite set. In this paper, we consider only this original finite set. We show that a reasonable assumption that an &-operation is continuous (i.e., that gradual change in t(A) and t(B) must lead to a gradual change in t(A & B)), uniquely determines min as an &-operation. Likewise, max is the only continuous ∨-operation. These results are in good accordance with the experimental analysis of “and” and “or” in human beliefs. Manuscript profile

        With this paper the authors try to newly reflect on Zadeh’s concept of a fuzzy set. The departing point is the fact that not only fuzzy sets originate in Language, but that they are just ’linguistic entities’ genetically different from the concept of ’crisp sets’ whose origin is either in a physical collection of objects, or in a list of them. Thus, a new definition of a fuzzy set is presented by means of two magnitudes: A qualitative one, a graph, the basic magnitude, and a quantitative one, a scalar magnitude. If the first reflects the language’s relational ground of the fuzzy set, the second - and thanks to ’measuring the meaning of words’ -, reflects the (numerical) extensional state in which it currently appears. Since the second, the scalar magnitude, is essential for the applications, it is also introduced the concept of a ’working fuzzy set’ by taking into account the numerical function, the meaning’s measure or the membership function. The working fuzzy set, that enlarges the corresponding fuzzy set, allows us to see the ’same fuzzy set’ with different membership functions, that is, the same graph appearing in different extensional states. Notice that a ’working crisp set’ is but the same crisp set. Manuscript profile

        Recently, Gautama algebras were defined and investigated as a common generalization of the variety RDBLSt of regular double Stone algebras and the variety RKLSt of regular Kleene Stone algebras, both of which are, in turn, generalizations of Boolean algebras. Those algebras were named in honor and memory of the two founders of Indian Logic–Akshapada Gautama and Medhatithi Gautama. The purpose of this paper is to define and investigate a generalization of Gautama algebras, called “Almost Gautama algebras (AG, for short).” More precisely, we give an explicit description of subdirectly irreducible Almost Gautama algebras. As consequences, explicit description of the lattice of subvarieties of AG and the equational bases for all its subvarieties are given. It is also shown that the variety AG is a discriminator variety. Next, we consider logicizing AG; but the variety AG lacks an implication operation. We, therefore, introduce another variety of algebras called “Almost Gautama Heyting algebras” (AGH, for short) and show that the variety AGH is term-equivalent to that of AG. Next, a propositional logic, called AG (or AGH), is defined and shown to be algebraizable (in the sense of Blok and Pigozzi) with the variety AG, via AGH, as its equivalent algebraic semantics (up to term equivalence). All axiomatic extensions of the logic AG, corresponding to all the subvarieties of AG are given. They include the axiomatic extensions RDBLSt, RKLSt and G of the logic AG corresponding to the varieties RDBLSt, RKLSt, and G (of Gautama algebras), respectively. It is also deduced that none of the axiomatic extensions of AG has the Disjunction Property. Finally, We revisit the classical logic with strong negation CN and classical Nelson algebras CN introduced by Vakarelov in 1977 and improve his results by showing that CN is algebraizable with CN as its algebraic semantics and that the logics RKLSt, RKLStH, 3-valued Lukasivicz logic and the classical logic with strong negation are all equivalent.

        Planning to achieve sustainable development by using the evaluation of ecological capacity in order to choose the best places for development, is a new approach that nowadays, has attracted the attention of urban and regional planners and is considered as an important factor to achieve it. In this research, using the integration of network analysis process and geographic information system, the ecological potential of urban development in Shabestar city has been evaluated in order to determine the suitable areas for this purpose. In order to achieve the goal, first the effective criteria in urban development were identified according to the research conducted and experts' opinions were collected through the Delphi method, and finally 7 criteria and 11 sub-criteria were selected. Then, using the pairwise comparison method, the importance of the criteria was determined relative to each other, and the criteria were weighted using the network analysis process. Finally, the information layers needed in the GIS environment were applied to them based on the fuzzy logic of valuation and the obtained weights, and the ecological power map was obtained using the weighted superimposition of the layers. The results obtained from the research show that 28% of the area of Shabestar city has completely adequate capacity, 24% has adequate capacity, which indicates the high capacity of the region for development. These areas mainly include the southern part of the city, which extends from east to west. On the other hand, only 14% of the area is completely unsuitable and 17% is designated as unsuitable, which includes the northern heights of the city. Based on these matters and according to the final classification map, it can be concluded that the favorable areas for the future physical development of Shabestar city are mostly in the southern part of this city.

        Evaluation of ecological potential is known as the pioneer of land use. The central Zagros region needs to develop an environmental management plan with a comprehensive and practical approach due to its much environmental sensitivity and numerous threats to biodiversity. Based on this, Koohrang management watershed area, as one of the pilot areas in central Zagros, has been studied and evaluated. In the first step, by examining common models in Iran and the world, a suitable model was designed to evaluate the ecological potential of the region. In the following, a consolidated model was selected and designed for the area, which has the highest degree of consistency and appropriateness with the existing natural and structural features. Finally, by using the basic data and multiple layers of information, by layering layers in the GIS environment and ArcGIS software, 9.3, synthesis and zoning were carried out. Field studies were used to reference the data and fill information gaps. The results show that most of the region is mountainous and the highest rate of erosion is medium with 38.39%. Currently, the use of pasture has the largest share among other uses with about 68%. On the other hand, the most priority use in the study area is dedicated to various aspects of protection and grazing with 53 and 25%, respectively, and development has the lowest share with 0.05%.

        Abstract One of the main stages of land use is the ecological capability of the land. Since it is impossible to limit the development of cities, they should be tailored to meet the needs of today and tomorrow, so that environmental damage can not be avoided. The purpose of this study is to assess the ecological capability of Ardabil province for urban development. . In this research, the zoning of the ecological capability of Ardabil province has been done by combining the fuzzy model and Shannon entropy, and then, using numerical taxonomy, priority has been given to environmental power in Ardabil province, in five optimal, favorable, moderate , Weak and very weak power of the region for sustainable urban development. The use of multi-criteria models, including fuzzy inference and the production of maps that are close to reality, can effectively assist in the identification of lands for the establishment and development of the city of Ardabil province. The results of this study showed that in both methods (fuzzy and taxonomic), northern parts of the province are suitable regions to the most suitable, the southern parts are inadequate, parts of the eastern parts are moderate to suitable and inappropriate western parts. According to the findings, the areas are very convenient 12.22%, suitable for 18.27%, 20.20%, inappropriate 25.13%, and very inappropriate 23.26% of the province.

        With the development of urban and rural areas, specifically in the foothills and mountainous areas of West Mazandaran province, electricity supply has become a necessity today. On the other hand, due to the massive climate changes in recent decades, which in turn has caused sudden snow and freezing in this region, the map of snow and ice loads that has been developed previously by the Ministry of Energy is not applicable anymore, or has not been reviewed for many newly developed urban and rural areas. Therefore, in this research, we try to calculate snow and ice loads by using the latest data, meteorological statistics and statistical methods for the design of electricity transmission lines. For this purpose, by using meteorological data (from 2005 to2018) for Baladeh area and using simulation method provided by laboratory and engineering institute of cold regions (CCREL), the program is applied to calculate the amount of ice thickness in Excel environment. They were written at two heights of 10 and 35 meter (average height of the cables) and then the histograms were plotted using the Smada software. In this research, the statistical parameter of ice load has been investigated in the multi-year return periods for the mountainous area of&nbsp; Baladeh as one of the most important loadings on the transmission tower. Finally, nominal values with different return periods are proposed. The results showed that for the design of power transmission lines with a return period of less than 50 years, the region of&nbsp; Baladeh is a heavy region, and with the return period of more than 50 years, it is a super-heavy region (in accordance with the code).In this research, the statistical parameter of ice load has been investigated in the multi-year return periods for the mountainous area of Baladeh as one of the most important loadings on the transmission tower.

        The optimal zoning of urban development directions based on environmental capabilities is one of the most important urban development planning; choosing the right urban development direction may make a city face fewer challenges and problems in the future, including natural hazards. It may also cause urban development may be done properly. Considering the significance of the subject, the present study aims to zone the areas prone to the development of settlements in the boundaries and outskirts of Poldokhter city. According to the subject and objectives, SRTM 30 meters high digital model, a 1:100000 geological map of Iran&rsquo;s Geological Organization, a Landsat satellite image, and digital layers of information were employed as research data. The most important research instruments were Arc GIS (to prepare the desired maps) and Expert Choice (to implement the AHP model). Also, in this research, fuzzy logic models (to fuzzify the layers and also to combine the information layers, and prepare the final map) and AHP (to weigh the information layers) were used. As the results indicated, many parts of the urban area and outskirts of Poldokhter are lowly suitable for urban development. These areas, mainly including the northern regions of Poldokhtar urban area, have little potential for the physical development of residential areas due to the high elevation and slope, being in the mountain units and the alluvial valley. Accordingly, only parts of the southern areas of Poldokhter city are susceptible to the physical development of residential areas due to the low elevation and slope and being in the plain unit.

        The geomorphic analysis of mountain fronts, anticlines and folded belts can provide valuable insights about the recorded tectonic history of any given region. Therefore, such studies at a regional scale have been frequently undertaken using morphotectonic analysis to delineate areas having higher tectonic activity. Keteh Pifak anticline is located in the northeast of Eyvan-e-Qarb township, north of Ilam province and is considered as a part of the Zagros simply folded belt. In this research, with the aim of evaluating the active neotectonic movements in the Keteh Pifak anticline, the six geomorphic indices such as: Ratio of Valley Floor Width to Valley Height (VF), Percentage Undissected Escarpments (EU), Percentage Dissected Mountain Fronts (FD), Fold Front Sinuosity (FFS), Fold Symmetry Index (FSI), Aspect Ratio (AR) and Relative Tectonic Activity Index (Iat) have been used. The morphometry of Keteh Pifak anticline were determined using topographic maps, satellite imageries and field works. Also, the structural, tectonically and lithologically data were obtained using geological map (5257 sheets No) with 1:100,000 scale. Results show that high values of FFS, EU, AR indices and low values of FD, VF, FSI indices indicate the young and asymmetry of this anticline, the continuation of neotectonic forces and low erosion in the anticline. Also, based on the Iat index, it was determined that this anticline at class 3 of activity. Field evidence in the study area such as narrow valleys (V-shaped), straight, steep and faulted escarpments, asymmetric fold show that this anticline is tectonically relative active.

        During historical periods, numerous biological hazards and epidemics such as malaria, influenza, etc. on a global scale have caused irreparable damage to human habitats. Meanwhile, one of the biological hazards that has spread to all parts of the world since 2019 is the outbreak of the corona virus (Covid-19). Considering the negative effects of this disease (human health, social and economic) in different areas and living conditions of cities, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of this risk in urban areas of Tabriz and provide solutions to improve the situation and exposure to other epidemics. Therefore, the present study is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of analytical-exploratory nature which has been used the qualitative model of Q-factor analysis for data analysis. The statistical population of the study also includes managers and urban experts and academic elites whose sample size was determined using the Delphi method of 15 people. Based on the model of factor analysis of Q and variance extracted, it can be said that three factors or economic, environmental and socio-individual effects have been expressed in line with the effects of Corona virus in Tabriz, which explain 76.822% of the total variance. Also, the most important effects of the coronavirus outbreak are related to economic components such as weakening the economic structure of the city, loss of job security, lower incomes and savings, and rising unemployment and downsizing in some economic sectors.

        Environmental problems are one of the most fundamental problems of today's city and the result of human conflict with the natural environment. In this regard, in order to achieve the research goal to promote ecological cohesion and environmental resilience, the capabilities of remote sensing science and GIS and the use of continuity measurement metric (MNN) along with the Forman mosaic model has been used. Analysis of maps resulting from land use change shows; Stains made in the period (1986-2020) due to increasing population and demand for land and, as a result, urban growth in recent years by (+ 68%) increase in agricultural use (-52%) and gardens and green space (-31%) and barren lands have also decreased by about (-41%). The results of MNN metric analysis also indicate that; The continuity of the elements of the ecological structure of Behshahr city, especially the agricultural spots during the study period, has not been in good condition and has been severely damaged so that the ecological continuity of the agricultural spots in the last 34 years is about 48 meters, gardens and green space about 10 Meters have decreased and the distances between similar ecological spots have increased. In the end, the present study led to the preparation of a proposed model and protection and remediation solutions, as well as a critical network map of the study area. Manuscript profile

        Hydrological drought is affected by many factors and is quantified using SDI index. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the urban development with satellite images between 1992 and 2016 and to evaluate its effect on the characteristics of hydrological drought events in the Samian area of Ardabil province. Land use change assessment shows that the agricultural and residential areas have been increased. Examination of the one-month SDI index in all stations shows an increase in droughts in different periods. The highest number of dry months is related to the last period (2017-2008) of Samian station for 80 months. The highest increase in the number of dry months is related to Gilande station, which has increased from 1 month in the first period to 66 months in the last period. The study of the quarterly SDI index in all stations except Atashghah station shows the increase of drought in different periods. The highest increase in the number of dry quarters is related to Gilande station, which has increased from zero in the first period to 36 in the last period. Despite the increase in rainfall during the period and the presence of wet climatic months, as well as the relative increase in temperature in the region and due to increased agricultural use and residential areas that have increased the harvest of surface water, the number of dry months in the region has increased.

        The increase of human activities has caused disturbances in human ecosystems and environment in different scales. Remote sensing techniques have been found to be effective for quantifying and detecting ecological changes and can be considered as an alternative for monitoring spatial changes in the ecological conditions of the environment. Today, the use of remote sensing data for studies related to the quality of the urban environment has also gained a great attention. In this research, the ecological quality of Karaj city&#039;s environment was evaluated and analyzed using Landsat series images in 2010 and 2020 by analyzing the main components of greenness, humidity, dryness and heat to determine four remote sensing ecological indicators. Remote sensing ecological indicators used in environmental quality extraction include LST, NDVI, NDBI and WET. The results showed that the quality of the environment of Karaj city has generally decreased from 2010 to 2022 and the average RSEI has decreased from 0.59 to 0.25, which shows the destruction of the environment of this city due to the expansion of its residential parts. Environmental changes in the study area are closely related to human activities in the form of spatial expansion of residential areas and development, which is caused by the immigration of the study area and its proximity to Tehran. The index used in the present research can adequately reflect the spatial changes of environmental quality from different dimensions and is an effective method for comprehensive evaluation of environmental quality and ecological conditions in urban environments Manuscript profile

Sociological criticism approach in the context of evaluating the components of social values, social interactions, social skills, social orientations, and social control in characters of Shirin, Khosrow, Mahin Banu, Maryam, and Shekar in a classified way, and in each case, based on poetic evidence extracted from Khosrow and Shirin, analysis and comparison is performed. The findings of this article show that wisdom and self-esteem are the gifts granted to girls and women of Khosrow and Shirin through free social space and realistic overlook the society has over women. Moreover, Nezami was under the influence of various social stimuli that is clearly manifested in developing the characters in Khosrow and Shirin. However, it should be noted that the internal process of this perspective is related to the internal worldview of Nezami as a wise poet. Therefore, in sociology of characters in Khosrow and Shirin, there is a mediate as worldview between social realities and artistic creation of Nezami. Manuscript profile

        Abdurrahman Mushfeqi Bukharaei is one of the poets of the tenth century AH who was familiar with composing sonnets and odes and was proficient in satire. Although in his time, unlike the fifth, sixth and seventh centuries, when the use of concepts of various sciences and knowledge in poetry was common, knowledge such as astrolabe and astrology was no longer considered and the poetry was close to the general language of the people, but Mushfeqi used astrological concepts in his poems. In his poetry, we not only come across common astrological concepts and words among most poets such as astrology and fortune-telling and the names of the septet planets, but also the topics and words that specialize in astrological knowledge such as south node, predestination, conjunction, honor, the concept of seeing lucky and unlucky hours we also see during his verses.

        This study was conducted to investigate the effect of drought on dust events in different cities of Qazvin province. Rainfall and temperature data were used to calculate the standardized precipitation-evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and three-hourly dust events data were used to calculate the number of dusty days in the study stations. Based on the Spearman correlation coefficient, the impact of dust events on the drought phenomenon was investigated by considering different time delays. The maximum correlation between SPEI and the number of dusty days in Ghazvin city without considering the time delay of -0.38 and at the level of 99%, was significant, indicating the simultaneous impact of dust events from the drought phenomenon in the center of the province. The results also showed that the response time of dust events to meteorological drought with a delay of one year in Moallem Kalayeh city is significant at 90% confidence level (r = -0.52). Meanwhile, in other cities of Ghazvin province, no significant relationship was observed between the two phenomena of dust occurrence and meteorological drought. Manuscript profile

        Earthquakes are considered as one of the most destructive natural disasters and at the same time the most sudden natural force that occurs as a result of failure and displacement of rocks below the earth's surface. Earthquakes are followed by many geomorphological hazards and environmental consequences, which cause great damage to vulnerable areas. Following the earthquake of November 13, 2017 Sarpol-e-Zahab-Azgaleh, many slope processes such as (landslides, landslides, subsidence, etc.), as well as natural consequences (changes in the flow of springs), economic, human consequences (destruction) Residential areas, roads, destruction of agricultural lands, orchards and fish farming complexes) occurred in the area, causing damage to areas affected by the earthquake. In this research, using satellite images, field operations, the required information about the occurrence of geomorphological processes and natural and human consequences in the region were collected and their location was identified and determined on a map. In addition, with the help of Arc GIS software, zones Exposed to location threats and some of the consequences of earthquakes, their location and map were plotted. The results of the study showed that the activation of most processes, amplitude instabilities as a result of weak geological structure, monotonic and morphological conditions of the region are affected by the occurrence of earthquakes, which their past history also confirms this. Preparing a final map to identify the location of complications and consequences in the region as another result of this study can be of great help in reducing the loss of life and property during Manuscript profile

        Climate change is considered one of the most important challenges of the present century. The dimensions of its effects are extra-regional and have overshadowed the ecosystem. Among these effects, we can mention the process of hydrological changes in rivers. The Armand River basin in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces. The data was obtained from the information of 4 hydrometric stations located in the study area over a statistical period of 35 years. The method used in this research is Kendall's statistical and graphic test. The results obtained from the investigation of runoff trends and changes in Armand basin hydrometric stations (including Armand, Behesht-Abad, Koh-Sokhte, and Koreh-Bas) indicate the existence of a significant decreasing trend in annual runoff and winter seasons. , spring, summer, and autumn. On the other hand, comparing the average discharge changes in different seasons showed that the summer season had the most decreasing changes in runoff compared to other seasons. The results of this research also showed that the average annual discharge of the entire basin during the statistical period was equal to 29.3 cubic meters per second. The average minimum and maximum annual discharge of the basin during the same period was recorded as 0.7 and 84.785 cubic meters per second respectively. Armand station with an average of 137.7 cubic meters per second in the spring season has the highest flow rate, and in the same season, Koh Sokhateh station has the lowest flow rate among hydrometric stations in the basin with 6.74 cubic meters per second.

        Climate indices by revealing the climatic diversity of the region, have led to the development of management policies in agriculture, water resources and environment fields. The performance of De Martonne, Ivanov, precipitation effectiveness, continental coefficient, temperature, rainfall anomaly, percent of normal precipitation, vegetation, aridity and Selyaninov indices were investigated using the data of 15 meteorological stations. The effective climate index determination was done using simple additive weighting (SAW), TOPSIS and simultaneous evaluation of criteria and alternatives (SECA). The sensitivity analysis of the SECA method rather to the &beta; coefficient had a significant effect on the results. Based on the ranking results of three multi-criteria decision-making methods, Ivanov's index performs well in severe climate conditions (with extreme high and low values), and in other climatic conditions, it is better to use it together with another climate index. The percent of normal precipitation index was overestimated in most of the stations. Rainfall anomaly index also described the climatic condition of most stations as close to normal. In determining the effective climate index, the number of meteorological data, the type of their mathematical relationship and the way of climatic demarcation are of special importance. The highest amount of intensity and percentage of changes was in the case of SAW and SECA, TOPSIS and SECA methods. The highest number of first ranks in three multi-criteria decision-making methods is related to De Martonne, aridity, vegetation indices and then effective precipitation index. Manuscript profile

        The goal of this study was to study the geomorphologic response- type models of the coastline of Miankaleh Barrier to the rapid fluctuations of the Caspian Sea. In this regard, Landsat satellite imageries (the sensor: 4, 5, 7 and 8 series), historical maps, topography maps and multiple field works have been used. Based on quantitative documentation of historical changes in shoreline position in response to natural and human variables, eight geomorphic response-types were identified for classifying barrier coasts: (1) lateral movement, (2) advance, (3) dynamic equilibrium, (4) retreat, (5) in-place narrowing, (6) landward rollover, (7) breakup, and (8) rotational instability. Long-term (decades to centuries) monitoring of shoreline position over a spatial scale of 10 to 100 km provides a scientific basis for documenting process-response relationships that shape regional coastal morphodynamics. The results show that there are the six morphological-type models in the Miankaleh barrier region based on the eight geomorphologic-type models of McBride et al, 1995; such as lateral movement, advance, retreat, in-place narrowing, breakup and rotational instability. The results indicate that the advance and retreat morphological-type models are formed in the region during the rise and fall sea levels, respectively. In-place narrowing and breakup morphological-type models appear simultaneously with the rise in sea level, and the rotational instability model also appears when the sea level is reduced in the region. The lateral movement type model has also been developed during the sea level rise and fall periods. Also, the results show that the sea level during the period of 1214-1396 has experienced six Progradation-Retrogradation stages. The assessment of the satellite imageries and statistical data on sea level fluctuations indicate that the sea level has fallen back to 1374 and has dropped by about 1.5 meters. The rate of recession and the reduction of the level of surface between 1374 until 1396 were estimated at 6.8 cm per year. Despite the fact that on a large scale, the increase in the relative sea level water along the shore of the Miankaleh barrier is one of the most important factors controlling the occurrence of various geomorphic reactions; however, the sediment supply also has a significant impact on reactions shoreline.

For this purpose, in this study, the models of the fifth climate change report of Birjand synoptic station using the next three periods of 2040-2010, 2070-2040 and 2100-2070 against the base period of 1975-2005 and two scenarios of RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 to determine the variables The meteorology of GCM models was investigated. For this purpose, first a comparison was made between the baseline data of the synoptic station and the baseline data of the model and then to ensure the results of the models for each of the temperature and precipitation variables, the certainty or uncertainty of the models was determined using a box diagram. The results showed that for precipitation, CESM1-CAM5 and CANESM2 models have large box bands and low uncertainty and BNU-ESM and MIROC-ESM-CHEM models have more certainty than other models. In terms of minimum temperature and maximum temperature, GFDL series models have the lowest certainty and GISS-E2 series have the best certainty. The results also showed that the reliability of the models for estimating the minimum temperature and maximum temperature is higher than precipitation. It was also found that in addition to the RCP 8.5 scenario compared to the average RCP 4.5 scenario, the average temperature changes show more than the base period. In the RCP 8.5 scenario, the model deviation is higher than the average value. Manuscript profile

        One of the crucial factors in the successful production of agricultural products is the climate. Lack of attention to climatic conditions causes the loss of horticultural products. As one of the major crops in Iran, grapes are affected by climate change and anomalies. Due to climate change, assessment of the phenological stages of grapevine and assessment of chill accumulation status is important for the development of this decidous tree and sustainable management of the horticultural sector. In the present study, the phenological stages of the grapevine were determined based on field observations in two consecutive years at Golmakan agrometeorological station. to evaluate the condition of chill accumulation based on dynamic model, data from 55 valid meteorological stations from 1985 to 2013 were evaluated on an hourly and daily time scale. Mann-Kendall nonparametric method was used to investigate the trend of cold accumulation changes.The results showed that grapes require eight phenological stages to complete the developmental period from early April to late November. The highest temperature requirement occurs during the fruit development stage. According to the dynamic modeloccur51 to 91 cold portions. At high latitudes, severe colds and at lower latitudes mild winter have reduced the chill accumulation for the grape tree.Therefore, climate change has emerged as a decrease in the rate of cold accumulation and the inadequate requirement. Therefore, consideration of climatic considerations is important in selecting species and varieties consistent with this decrease in chill units during the period of dormancy of decidous trees.

        Soil erosion is always occurred as a natural event but human false interference led to accelerated soil erosion and irreversible effects. Mahabad dam watershed, due to topographic mountainous and steep slopes is very susceptibility against soil erosion. The aim of this study is to prioritize the factors affecting sediment production using fuzzy logic and AHP models and finally, generating the susceptibility mapping apron to soil erosion in Mahahbad dam watershed. &nbsp;At first, based on expert experiences seven factors were recognized on soil erosion including the following; slope degree, land use, time of concentration, elevation of sea, precipitation, lithology and distance to river. The susceptibility soil erosion map based on fuzzy logic and AHP models were classified in five classes. The accuracy of the erosion susceptibility map provided by the model is further checked by calculating Seed Cell Area Index (SCAI). Results show that about 102.12 km2, equivalent to 13.15% of the area has the potential to "very high" risk of erosion and sediment production, which in the sub-basins Dehbokr, Bangvyn, Qzljeh, Maraneh and Syahghol has more potential.

        The preparation of geomorphological maps is requiring a lot of time and extensive money to collect information on maternal and landforms. Registration maternal features in these maps are usually based on geological maps, field operations, and aerial photographs analyzing. However, due to the resistance of rocks and sediments against erosion is different, it is possible to identify and distinguish them by 1:25000 topographic maps and by studying the form of contours. The purpose of this study is to identify contour forms of topographic maps and find their relationship with geological formations of the region in Part of northern and southern Alborz. For this purpose, the existing contours forms including straight contours, and simple sinusoidal, long and elongated sinusoidal, dense sinusoidal and pulsed curves are classified in topography maps of the region and overlapped with the formation maps of the region that supply by using geological maps 1:100000 geological surveys of Iran. Chi-square&nbsp;tests were used to analyze the relationship between them. The results showed that the contour forms of the geological formations of the area were significantly different at the 0.01 level. The contour forms of straight and simple predominate in hard rocks and dense sinusoidal forms in loose formations and are higher than expected. Therefore, the rock material is effective in creating specific contour forms of topographic maps of the area and since these forms are easily recognizable in these maps, it is therefore possible to use topographic maps to obtain material information for geomorphological maps.

        Medicinal plants in the field of natural resources are considered as one of the most important strategies in the field of health, trade and technology. Scientific and comprehensive knowledge of the elements and components of rangeland ecosystems is essential for their proper planning and management. For this purpose, the ecological characteristics of the habitat, morphological characteristics and the amount of some minerals of H. longiflorus Benth medicinal plant in the rangeland ecosystems of South Khorasan in two habitats of Amroodkan Ferdows Valley and Sabz Sarayan Valley were studied. Thus, 3 transects were established in the representative area of each habitat and 10 plots of 3 square meters were installed along each transect. In each plot, cover parameters including density, percentage of canopy cover of plant species, percentage of H. longiflorus Benth species, large and small diameter, medium height and some mineral compounds in plant aerial parts were measured. Also, climatic and topographic characteristics of each habitat and physical and chemical factors of the soil were measured. The results showed that the direction of both habitats was north and Amrudkan valley had higher altitude and average annual rainfall compared to Sabzerood. The soil of both regions was in the acidic range and the soil texture in the habitat of Amrudkan valley was loam and in Sabzrood habitat was sandy-loamy. Percentage of total species, percentage of Aroneh species, average height and wet and dry weight of flowering branches of the species due to more suitable ecological conditions and the presence of more fertile soil in the habitat of Amrudkan valley 17, 43, 12, 43 and 62% more, respectively. The habitat of Sabzrood was Sarayan. Also, there was a significant difference between the minerals in the medicinal organ of H. longiflorus Benth in the two habitats and the minerals in the flowering branches of this species were higher in the Emroodkan valley habitat than Sabzrood habitat. In general, the results show the influence of morphological and phytochemical characteristics of this species. Due to its medicinal value, having minerals and also high resistance of this plant to different environmental conditions, its use in urban green space belt is recommended. Manuscript profile

        The Populus Caspica is a critically endangered and endemic species in Hyrcanian forest which is unfortunately endangered due to lack of proper management and conservation. Populus Caspica stands as a genetically valuable component of Hyrcanian forest resources but considering its rarity, nativity, uniqueness, being threatened and its role in preserving the natural landscape of northern forests, little information is available for its ecological, morphological and physiological condition, therefore, based on the given facts, more research are required to be conducted in these fields. In this study, we tried to introduce the pollen characterization in different populations of this species in west Mazandaran forests (Marzanabad and Nour). Consequently, two natural habitats of this species in West Mazandaran forests were used. The quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pollen grains were studied by light (optical) and electron microscopes. The results showed that there was no significant difference in pollen characteristics and types in different populations of this species. Manuscript profile

        Abstract &nbsp; Tourism industry with annual revenues of nearly 1,000 billion in the world today is one of the most important phenomena in addition to poverty, justice and jobs, higher incomes and creates jobs for the poor. According to statistics published by the World Tourism Organization, the number of tourists worldwide since 1950 has been 36 times as has Rosen from 25 million in 1950 to about 1018 million people in 2010. Considering that one of the most influential components in the world to attract tourists, are the ancient places and demand for visiting archeological sites have provided suitable condition for attracting tourists. Despite the attractions of the historic in Sari, a feature unique culture past, will have a significant role in the development of tourism potential, so in this study using the theory of weight-evidence of the Dempster-Shafer, who created a theory based on the potential for the presence, absence and presence - absence of evidence is the location of the ancient city where the action is Surrey. The results show that in addition to sites already identified, there are areas that have a high potential for the presence of archeological sites that must be for further investigation using archaeological speculation based on evidence other than that necessary to properly verified.

        Iranianborage (Echium amoenum) is one of the most important plants of Boragicaceae. In order to determine the most suitable method of overcoming seed dormancy of this plant, the present study was conducted in two different experiments. The first experiment was carried out using seeds collected from Mashhad and Javaherdeh based on a factorial study with three replications. Pretreatments were seed treatment at 4&deg; C for 7, 14, and 21 consecutive days under refrigerated temperature, seed treatment with 500 ppm gibberellic acid for 24 hours, and seed treatment with 50% sulfuric acid for 10 minutes. The second experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design in time and location&nbsp; in two years&nbsp; and &nbsp;two locations &nbsp;of Gorgan and Mashhad. The experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of climate on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the flower. Results showed that Iranian borage seed has physiological dormancy since the maximum seed germination percentage was obtained by applying pre-cooling treatments in 7 days. Comparison of the two locations revealed more favorable flower yield and secondary metabolite accumulation (anthocyanin, antioxidant, phenol and flavonoid) in plants cultivated in Mashhad region. Therefore, due to the relative resistance of the plant to water deficit, the cultivation of this plant in Mashhad is suggested to be further evaluated. Also, pre-treatment of 7 days of moist chilling is also recommended to facilitate the germination uniformity. Manuscript profile

        An experiment was conducted to evaluate the differences between the spring and summer crops of three fig genotypes namely, Golbahar, Kamal Abad, and Rezvan 41 in Golestan province. The fruit samples were collected from two different fruit crops and some morphological and phytochemical traits were studied based on the specific descriptor and standard methods. The analysis of variance showed that there were some significant interaction between genotype and fruit type on length, width, and shape of the fruit, stalk and neck length, and pulp length, where there was observed no significant effect on the ostiole &nbsp;diameter. The results showed that the summer fruits were smaller than spring fruits and had lower amount of fruit length and diameter, stalk and neck length, and pulp length in most of the genotypes. Regardless of the genotype, the ostiole diameter was higher in spring fruits than summer fruits. The analysis of variance also showed that genotype and fruit type had significant interaction effects on flavonoid and anthocyanin but not on total soluble solids, titratable acidity and phenols. Summer fruits had higher amount of total soluble solids and titratable acidity but lower phenols. Kamalabad genotype also showed higher amount of total soluble solids and titratable acidity than other genotypes. In Golbahar genotype, the spring fruits had lower anthocyanin while this was lower in other genotypes. In contrast, in all genotypes under study spring fruits had higher amount of flavonoid. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        In order to study the effect of drought stress on seed yield and some physiological and biochemical characteristics of different genotypes of red bean an experiment was performed in split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research field of Islamic Azad University, Arak. The main plot factor was irrigation surfaces (normal and stress); irrigation was cut in flowering and pod filling and the sub plot factor was red bean genotypes including Derakhshan, D81083 and Goli. The Analysis of Variance showed that the draught stress significantly affected leaf relative water content, electrical conductivity of the cell membrane, leaf proline content, protein content, concentration of soluble sugars. Goli genotype had the highest relative water content, protein content and D81083 and Derakhshan genotype had the highest proline content and lowest electrical conductivity of the membrane was proline the result of the experiment indicates the stability of the cell membrane. Derakhshan and D81083 genotypes contained highest soluble sugars. D81083 and Goli genotypes showed their superiority in traits under study in this experiment and therefore can be cultivated in areas where there is water shortage. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study, Evaluation effect of Azotobacter nitrogen fixation bacteria in combination with Pseudomonas putida phosphate solubilizing bacteria on reducing the effects of irrigation water shortage on soybean cultivars under field conditions has been studied. This research was carried out as a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications in Tarbiat Modarres University during 2015-2016. Irrigation treatments included optimal irrigation, mild stress, moderate stress and severe stress based on 15, 30, 45 and 60 percent of available water depletion respectively from the establishment time to the end of the growth period and four levels of soybean inoculation with bacteria (control or without bacteria, inoculum with Azotobacter, inoculation with Pseudomonas putida, and inoculation with both bacteria) are considered. The results of this study showed that the main effect of irrigation regime on all traits except 1000 seed weight and the main effect of bio-fertilizer were significant except for 1000 seed weight, seed nitrogen and oil on all traits. From the test results, one can conclude that Azotobacter alone increased 17.9% seed yield, Pseudomonas putida alone increased the yield of 32.4% and the combined application of both bacteria increased the grain yield by 39.8%. In general, considering the non-insignificant effect of bio-fertilizer interaction on levels of water stress, it can be concluded that under favorable irrigation conditions and under drought conditions, the application of bio-fertilizer is effective in improving yield and yield components, protein and oil yield of soybean.

        The aim of this study was determining the physiological and morphological responses of two-year-old common ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) seedlings to flooding stress. For this purpose, seedlings of common ash were examined in a completely randomized design for 102 days under continuous flooding, temporary flooding treatment (for 60 and 42 days drainage, respectively) and control. Stomatal conductance, transpiration, and photosynthesis rate were progressively decreased by flooding while all seedlings survived at the end of flooding. Also, flooded plants were able to adequately recover their physiological activities. In addition, height, root length, leaf area, and biomass accumulation of seedlings decreased under flooding conditions (particularly in continuous flooding). Diameter growth on the other hand, increased in seedlings subjected to temporary flooding. Overall, the results showed that two-year-old seedlings of F. excelsior had a suitable response to flooding stress until day 60. After 42 days drainage, the physiological characteristics of the seedlings were recovered. Generally, on the basis of the findings in this research, it is expected that F. excelsior can be used for the purpose of restoration of lowlands and wood production in areas subjected to periodic flooding.

        Ferula assafoetida is considered as a medicinal plant that is used for the treatment of different diseases because of its different chemical compounds. The plant has been commonly used in various regions of Iran since the old times. The purpose of the present study was introducing this plant and identifying its ecological properties such as geographical location, soil pH, and potassium, sodium, phosphorus, and nitrogen contents as well as the texture of its habitat and the distribution of the variability of the plant in terms of morphological and physiological properties in three distant populations in Fars, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad, and Khuzestan. To this and, Ferula assafoetida plant and soil samples were collected from the natural habitats of the three provinces and the morphological features including the height of the plants, the length and width of the leaves, the diameter of the stems, the dried and fresh weights of the plants, and the physiological features including chlorophyll, carbohydrate, protein, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium contents of shoots were studied. Results showed that Khuzestan habitat was reicher than the other two habitats in terms of clay, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents of soil was more than the other two sites. Also, results of morphological study of the plants in this habitat showed higher average fresh weight, plant height, weight, length and width of leaf and stem diameter. Moreover, with an increase in the height from the sea level, the length, width, height and dried and wet weight of the plants decreased while the stem diameter increased. Furthermore, with an increase in the height from the sea level traits such as phosphorus and sodium contents decreased while potassium, carbohydrates, chlorophyll, and protein contents of leaves followed an increasing trend.

Treatments included five levels of spermidine (0/ 02,0/ 05,0/ 1 and 0/15 mM) and four levels of polyethylene glycol (0- 2,- 4 and -5 bar). The results showed that the use of spermidine increased the relative weight contact of leaf (RWC), leaf area ratio, chlorophyll s and phenolic compounds . In this study, carotenoids content and leaf antioxidant activity decreased with increasing spermidine level and also had no statistically significant effect on germination. With increase of polyetylen glycol antioxidant activity, carbohydrates and&nbsp; total phenolics increased &nbsp;but decreased germination. Therefore, according to the above results, application of spermidine and polyethylene glycol as seed pre-treatments can have significant effects on physiological and morphological activities in stress conditions and increase plant potency under stress conditions.&nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        An experiment was conducted for phytochemical analysis of the compounds of Rheum ribes weedat the phonological stage of flowering in Weed Science Laboratory of Gonbad-e Qabus University in 2015. Plant samples of Rheum ribes were collected from heights of Karizak Village of Kashmar. After identifying the Rheum species, various organs of stem, leaf, and inflorescence were separated from each other, dried and finally powdered. Chemical compounds like the organic matter, ash, crud protein, ADF, NDF, starch, soluble carbohydrates, and total phenols contents of the organs under study and a combination of organs were measured using the standardized phytochemical methods. Results of the variance analysis showed that there were significant differences in the phytochemical traits among various organs of Rheum ribes. Findings suggest that the highest percentage of organic matter, ash, crud protein, NDF, and ADF were obtained in the inflorescence, both the stem and leaf, leaf and inflorescence, and stem and inflorescence, respectively. The study also recorded the highest levels of total phenols in both in floresvence and combination of the organs while the lowest phenols contents were observed in the stem. Results generally showed variations in the content of phytochemical compounds under study in Rheum ribes organs. Therefore, regarding high productivity of Rheum ribes biomass and the role of phenolic compounds as well as suitable content of some primary metabolites, optimization of suitable method to extract these compounds is necessary.

        This study examines the variability in soluble carbohydrate reserves of Halocnemum strobilaceum and Halostachys caspica at various harvesting intensities (no harvesting (as control), 25%, 50%, and 75%) and different growth stages (vegetative, flowering, and seeding) in the aerial (stems) and underground (root) parts. The results showed that different harvesting intensities had significant effects on soluble carbohydrate reserves in the two species (P&le;0.05). In both species no harvesting (control) had maximum soluble carbohydrate reserves and with increasing of harvesting intensity, the soluble carbohydrate reserves significantly decreased so, due to the negative effects of 50% and 75% harvesting levels on soluble carbohydrate reserves, more than 25% harvesting level must be avoided as it damages the soluble carbohydrate reserves of the species. Also the results showed that plant growth stage and plant part type had significant effects on soluble carbohydrate reserves in the two species. In terms of the total amount of soluble carbohydrate (stem+ root), there was significant difference between two species. With the growth progresses, the amount of soluble carbohydrates significantly increased in both species. Therefore, we can consider the seeding stage as the best time for grazing in the studied species. Manuscript profile

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of salicylic acid, on growth properties and biochemical characteristics of in vitro cultureof Solanum tuberosum cv. Agria under salinity stress. The study was carried out at a completely random design with eight replications in the Department of Horticulture of University of Tabriz. Variables under study included salinity stress at two levels (0 and 70 mM/L sodium chloride) and salicylic acid at four levels (0, 1, 10, and 100 mM/L). Results showed that salicylic acid significantly mitigated the effects of salinity. Therefore, the highest plantlet length was recorded under salinity along with 10 mM salicylic acid treatment showing the positive effect of the treatment on mitigating the influences of salinity. However, the concentrations of salicylic acid higher than 10mM/L not only had no effect on plants, but also negatively influenced the effects of salinity stress. Also, antioxidant enzyme activity of the plantlets had a considerable increase at all concentrations of salicylic acid and levels of salinity. Moreover, the study suggested that Solanum tuberosum cv. Agria was relatively sensitive to salinity stress and all characteristics of the plants under study were influenced with salinity. Also, application of salicylic acid caused improvement in the growth and biochemical properties of the plants under study increasing their tolerance against salinity stress. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Plum flesh browning is one of the most important disorders in Golestan. This research is aimed to evaluate the effects of climatic conditions on this disorder and other physiochemical traits of the fruit. The evaluation was done using a randomized complete block in a nested design with three replications. The influence of different regions (Azad Shahr, Bandar Gaz, Ghonbad, and AghGhala) on total fruit number, yield, and the percentage of disorder were significant. Results demonstrated that the most fruit number and yield belonged to Bandar Gaz while Azad Shahr had the lowest levels of these attributes. In addition, the highest disorder percentage was registered in Bandar Gaz, whereas no disorder was observed in Ghonbad and Agh Ghala. Data analysis in infected regions (Azad Ahahr and Bandar Gaz) revealed that region had a significant effect on some physical traits of fruits. Furthermore, the effect of type of fruit in region was significant on all chemical traits. Comparison of means showed that the highest fruit length, fruit diameter, stone weight, and stone length belonged to normal fruits of Azad Shahr. The highest soluble solid content was recorded in normal fruits of southwestern Bandar Gaz and the lowest soluble solid content was seen in normal fruits of northwestern Azad Shahr. Physical traits of fruits (weight, length, diameter, and the ratio of length to diameter) showed a significant correlation with physical traits of stone (length, diameter, the ratio of length to diameter, and stone thickness), and the weight of fruit flesh. Among physical traits, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, stone width, and stone thickness, and among chemical traits only total acidity had a significant relationship with pH.

        In order to determine the water requirement of sunflower cultivars, an experiment was conducted during 2015-2016 at Ardestan Station, Isfahan. The experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments included 3 irrigation regimes (D1: irrigation after 60 mm, D2: irrigation after 120 mm, D3: irrigation after 180 mm evaporation from small tub evaporation) and 5 sunflower cultivars (Azargol, Prograss, Gabur, Hysan 25, and Hysan 36). Results showed that under non-stress and moderate stress, Azargol and Prograss cultivars had the highest rate, in terms of seed filling period, the weight of 1000 grains, stem diameter, and head diameter. Under severe stress, Prograss and Gabur cultivars were remarkable, so that Prograss cultivar had the highest seed filling period, weight of 1000 grains, stem diameter, and Gabur cultivar had the highest number of budding, number of flowering, and stem diameter. In the study of physiological characteristics, results showed that under non-stress and moderate stress chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, and net-photosynthesis in cultivars Progerass and Gabor were significantly increased compared to other cultivars. In severe stress conditions, the Progress and Gabor cultivars in chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll content were superior to other cultivars. The results of proline analysis indicated that proline leaf content increased significantly with water stress. Among the cultivars under severe stress conditions, proline leaf content in Progerass and Gabor cultivars was significantly higher than other cultivars. The results of this study showed that Azargol, Gabor, and Progerass cultivars are more tolerant than Hysan 25 and Hysan 36. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

The study was laid in a completely randomized design using 0, 5, and 10 g/l Pix and also under different drought levels using 0, -4, and -8 bar polyethylene glycol 6000 in petri dishes on two cultivars of cotton plant, namely Sahel (drought sensitive) and Shayan (drought resistant). Germination indices as well as physiological parameters of seedlings were measured under drought and Pix treatment after 4 days. Results showed that the use of Pix increased the germination percentage, root length, dry and fresh weights of seedlings, and the activity of peroxidase and catalase enzymes of cotton cultivars under drought stress while drought stress alone reduced these parameters. Drought also increased oxidative indices such as malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide in seedlings of Sahel and Shayan cultivars while Pix application reduced these indices. In general, the results of this study showed that the use of Pix improved growth responses and antioxidant system of the two cotton cultivars and the response of cultivar Shayan was better than Sahel.

        Biological fertilizers play a significant role in increasing the quantitative and qualitative yield of medicinal plants. In this research, the effects of vermicompost as well as nitrogen and phosphorous fertilizers were investigated on morphological traits such as height of plant and number of nod and quantitative and qualitative functions of peppermint essential oil. A factorial study was conducted as a pot experiment under the field conditions in a completely randomized design with 4 replications in 2017. Vermicompost treatment levels (consumption and non-consumption according to the manufacturer's recommendation) and nitrogen fertilizers and phosphorus (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg ha-1) were added to the &nbsp;pot soils early at planting stage. The most essential components in the essential oil (more than 70%) were Alphapinene, Limonene, Izomenton, Menthol, 1, 8 Cineol, and Menton. Analysis of variations showed significant effectiveness of the treatments. Comparison of means suggested that the best treatments were application of vermicompost and nitrogen and phosphorus (100 kg. ha-1) that improved the morphological traits such as plant heights and number of nod and also the quality and quantity of essential oils. It seems that vermicompost increased morphological traits and consequently the amount and components of essential oil of the plant. Manuscript profile

        Environmental pollution with heavy metals is one of the most serious environmental problems. There are several methods for removing heavy metals that require a lot of energy and are expensive. Therefore, the use of adsorbents such as algae has been considered. In this study, the efficiency of three species of microalgae Scenedesmus acutus, Scenedesmus incrassatulus, and Scenedesmus obliquus in adsorption of lead-heavy metal was investigated. For this purpose, pH (3 to 7), algal density (0.25 to 2 g), contaminant concentration (20 to 200 mg / l), time (30 to 150 minutes), and temperature (15 to 35 &deg; C) were investigated. it placed. The results showed that the rate of absorption of heavy metals by these three species was not significantly different. However, pH, algal density, pollutant concentration, time, and the temperature had a significant effect on the efficiency of algae in removing contaminants from the environment. The highest amount of lead uptake by microalgae occurred at pH 6, 25 &deg; C, adsorbent level of 0.5 g, contact time of 120 minutes, and density of 150 mg / l lead. Lead uptake had no effect on lipid and biodiesel production by microalgae. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sesame aqueous extract on growth parameters, proline, chlorophyll pigments, and soluble sugars of leaves and roots of soybean and&nbsp;morning-glory (Ipomoea sp.). To this end, an experiment was conducted as a split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the Research Farm of Golestan Agricultural and Natural Resources Research and Education Center. The main plot included 5 different concentrations of sesame extract (0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 10% with surfactant) and the sub-plot included the target plants at two levels (Soybean and Ipomoea sp). Results showed that the effects of different concentrations of sesame on growth parameters such as root length, fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots, and number of leaves of soybeans and Ipomoea sp were significant different while photosynthetic pigments of these two plants were not influenced by the allelopathic effects of sesame crop extract. Based on the obtained data, increasing the concentration of sesame extract led to increases in the amount of soluble sugars in soybean leaves and roots while decreasing this parameter in Ipomoea sp. Also, the amount of proline in the roots and shoots of soybean and Ipomoea plants increased under effect of sesame extract, in which the increase in the proline content of soybean leaves was significant in comparison with Ipomoea plants. Generally, based on the obtained results, the allelopathic effect of aqueous extract of sesame on morphophysiological parameters of Ipomoea sp. weed in this study was more than those in soybeans, and a complementary research on seed and crop yield, may make it possible to suggest application of sesame extract as a natural herbicide in soybean fields.

        Medicinal plants, as important agricultural products, can be considered as the greatest national wealth for any country because of their vital role in promoting national goals for health and also as genetic treasures. Having a diversity of climates, Iran has a great variety of medicinal plants. Detecting the growth status of medicinal plants under drought stress conditions can lead to the cultivation of resistant plants in dry or semidry areas. In the present study, we investigated the morphological and physiological responses of ten ecotypes of the medicinal plant Teucrium polium L. native to southeastern Iran under drought stress. For this purpose, a factorial greenhouse experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. In this experiment, moisture treatments of 100, 70, and 40% of field capacity were applied. Analysis of the data showed that the morphological traits under study including stem length and fresh and dry weight of shoots decreased by 5% with increasing drought stress. Drought stress also increased root length, proline content, and phenolic compounds while decreasing chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, and protein contents. The highest resistance to stress was shown by ecotypes growing in Sarcheshmeh and Kuhpayeh regions and the lowest resistance was shown by plants in Shahdad and Anbarabad regions. The results of the study indicated the relative resistance of this plant to drought stress. Therefore, it is a very suitable medicinal plant for cultivation in dry and low water areas of Iran. Among the studied ecotypes, the plants of Sarcheshmeh and Kuhpayeh regions responded 40% better to drought stress conditions and cultivation of these ecotypes in stressed areas can be recommended with more confidence.

        The study of use of nutrients and the optimal balance between nutrients and concentrations of absorbable compounds has always attracted the attention of researchers in biological and agricultural sciences. In this research, effects of four levels of Nitrogen sources (100 % urea, nano-chelate nitrogen, 100% Panaromix biologic fertilizer, and 50% urea + 50 % Panaromix biologic fertilizer) along with three levels of Zinc sources (control or without application of Zn, zinc sulfate, and nano-chelate zinc) and interaction effects of hese sources were investigated on physiology and yield of wheat. The study was carried out by split-plot method based on completely randomized blocks design with 3 replications and 12 treatments in a private farm located in the north of Jelin, a city located 3 Km east of Gorgan, during the 2017-2018 crop year. Results showed that the traits under study were affected by the sources of nitrogen supply and the interaction effects of sources of the two elements but there was no significant difference under treatment with sources of zinc supply. In Nitrogen supply sources, the maximum leaf area and number, shoot length, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll (a+b) content, and nitrate reductase activity as well as biological and grain yield was related to 100% urea and 50% urea + 50% biologic fertilizer. In combined treatments with the interaction effects, the highest amount of proline was related to 100% biological fertilizer + nano-chelate zinc and in the treatments that were associated with increased proline, there was no increase in the soluble sugars and glycine betaine contents. The highest level of NR activity, chlorophyll a, and total chlorophyll (a+b) content, and also the highest level of grain performance and biological yield were observed in 100% urea + Zinc sulfate fertilizer treatment. The results showed that high yield of wheat in this treatment was a function of plant physiological behavior, showing a positive interaction between nitrogen and zinc. Manuscript profile

        Pomegranate is one of the most important horticultural products that cultivated in many tropical and subtropical parts of the world. Meanwhile, in some pomegranate orchards, salinity stress is one of the abiotic stresses that harm agricultural crops such as pomegranate production by reducing productivity. This research aims to compare growth characteristics between selected genotypes including 1- Chah Afzal 2- Vahshi Babolsar, 3- Narak Lasjerd Semnan 4- Poost Siahe Yazd, 5- Malase Yazdi, 6- Rababe Neyriz, under salinity stress, in a randomized complete block design with three replicaions at Chah Afzal research station of Ardakan city. During the whole experiment, the trees were irrigated with saline water with salinity of 9 &plusmn; 0.5 dS/m every 12 days. Based on the results of this research and considering the lowest amount of ion leakage, the highest content of relative humidity and potassium, the high amount of total chlorophyll, carotenoid and leaf surface ratio, the lowest sodium to potassium ratio and necrosis percentage Chah Afzal genotype showed very good resistance to salinity conditions, followed by Poost Siahe Yazd, Vahshi Babolsar, Narak Lasjerd, Malase Yazdi and finally Rababe Neyriz were highly sensitive to salinity. According to the results of cluster analysis, the highest similarity between genotypes based on the parameters mentioned above was between the Narak Lasjerd and Malase Yazdi. The highest difference between Chah Afzal genotype and other genotypes was registered. This shows a significant difference in the superiority of Chah Afzal genotype over other genotypes in total traits. Therefore, due to the compatibility and proper growth of these genotypes in saline conditions, it is suggested that they could be used as a rootstock and the cvs. Malase Yazdi and Rababe Neyriz, which also produced flowers and fruits in saline conditions, can be grafted on them.

        Sugarcane is cultivated in different parts of the world up to a latitude of about 32 degrees north and south. The resistance of this plant to cold is low. Considering the sensitivity of sugarcane to cold, in order to identify the pathways and genes by differential expression in sugarcane cultivars during cold stress and employ them in sugarcane plant breeding programs, 454 sugarcanes were investigated using morphological and biochemical indices, in the Research Farm of Khuzestan Sugarcane Research Institute following the incidence of -1.2 ℃ temperature in the region in December 2015. In the first stage, the cold-tolerant or sensitive cultivars were selected using morphological indices. In the second stage, biochemical indices such as proline and malondialdehyde were measured in the tolerant cultivars (selected at the first stage) after a cold stress period in 2016, which showed increases in comparison with susceptible cultivars. According to the data obtained at the two stages, two cultivars, namely BR00-01 and TUC66-107, were identified as the most tolerant and sensitive to cold, respectively. Based on the results of morphological studies, the cultivars with a higher tolerance to cold stress were also hose with higher proline and MDA levels in the biochemical study stage compared with the sensitive cultivars. There was also a high correlation between morphological traits and biochemical indicators in terms of cold resistance. Therefore, by measuring morphological and biochemical indices, it is possible to determine to a large extent the type of reaction of a sugarcane cultivar to cold stress before doing molecular analysis and spending huge sums of money, and to select superior clones when sifting sugarcane clones at different breeding stages.

        In order to investigate the effect of mycorrhizal fungus on the growth and yield of autumn chickpeas under supplementary irrigation conditions, an experiment was conducted as a split plot in the form of randomized complete blocks with three replications in the 2016 crop year in Ilam. Experimental treatments include supplementary irrigation with three levels of control or rainfed, once irrigation (flowering time), twice irrigation (flowering time and ten days after flowering) in main plots and fertilizer with four levels of control, mycorrhiza, chemical fertilizer (nitrogen and phosphorus) And mycorrhiza with chemical fertilizers (nitrogen and phosphorus) were considered in subplots. The results showed that the effect of fertilizer interaction and supplementary irrigation on pod number per plant, grain yield, biological yield, shoot and root nitrogen was significant. The average grain yield in mycorrhiza fertilizer treatment and double irrigation compared to chemical fertilizer treatment (nitrogen and phosphorus) and rainfed conditions showed an increase of about 59%. In general, the results showed that double supplementary irrigation with the use of chemical fertilizers and mycorrhiza increases the reproductive growth of the plant. This increase is due to increased photosynthesis and consequently more photosynthetic material, which increases the yield components and improves the yield of chickpeas, so the use of this management method to achieve optimal production is recommended.

        Rhamnus pallasii Fisch. &amp; C.A.Mey. is one of the most important species of the Rhamnaceae family, which have widely distributed in Iran. Various factors such as different harvest period, habitat, and climate affect the content of plant secondary metabolites. In this study, phytochemical screening in different morphological parts (fruit, leaf, bark and root) investigated in April, May, July, August and October based on different climatic and phenological conditions. Different parts extracted with water-methanol (80%). The content of phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins and phenolic acid compounds of extracts was determined by spectrophotometry method and the antioxidant diphenyl pykryl hydrazyl (DPPH) test was used. The results are significant at the level of 0/05. Methanolic extract of fruit collected in October showed the largest content of total phenolics (583.66 &plusmn; 1.02 &micro;g GAE/g DE), anthocyanin (9.06 &plusmn; 0.019 mg /l) and phenolic acid (53.87 &plusmn; 1.52 &micro;g CAE/g). Also, the highest total flavonoid content was found in methanol extract of leaves in April (514.48&plusmn;1.77&micro;g QE/g). The fruits exhibited excellent antioxidant properties with IC50 value of 7.52&plusmn;0.24 &micro;g/ml in October, followed by leaves (8.18&plusmn;0.29 &micro;g/ml in March), roots (13.50&plusmn;0.29 &micro;g/ml in March) and barks (14.79&plusmn;0.37 &micro;g/ml in May). As a result, there is seasonal variation in both the quality and quantity of phenolic compound in different parts of Rhamnus. The phenolic-rich extracts in this study can be effectively used for both research and industrial applications. Manuscript profile

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of &rlm; &rlm;urban wastewater on growth and some &lrm;physiological characteristics of Althaea officinalis. The seeds of A. officinalis were cultured in the pots containing perlite. The plants were treated with different levels of urbane wastewater of Yasouj (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in three replications. The experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete blocks design. The plants were harvested after three weeks&rsquo; irrigation with different concentrations of wastewater for further analysis. The results have shown that wastewater treatments increased the fresh and dry weight of shoots, the leaf area, the height of plant and roots length. The highest growth rate was obtained in plants irrigated with un-diluted wastewater. In response to wastewater treatment, the amount of photosynthetic pigments including chlorophylls a, b, a+b, and carotenoids increased and the highest level of increase was observed at 100% of wastewater. Anthocyanins and flavonoids increased in response to wastewater irrigation while proteins decreased. No cadmium and lead were detected in the leaves and roots of wastewater-irrigated plants. Overall, the results of this study showed a positive response of A. officinalis to urbane-wastewater-irrigation. Manuscript profile

        Water stress is the main limitation in the production of many crops and causes many physiological and morphological reactions in plants. This problem has been observed in different cultivars of the same species, including soybeans. The aim of this research was to study the effect of water stress on water relations, proline content and morphological characteristics of two soybean cultivars including Pershing and DPX. For this purpose, an experiment was carried out in pots and water treatments of 80 (flooded), 60, 40 and 20% (dry) of the water saturation capacity of the soil were applied on them. The results of the studies showed a significant difference in the measured measurements in two soybean cultivars. In both cultivars, reducing the amount of irrigation caused a decrease in plant height and root length, and in the flooding treatment, it was associated with a significant increase in misplaced roots. In the Pershing variety, the decrease in the amount of irrigation led to a decrease in the relative amount of water (RWC), but in the DPX variety, the lowest amount of RWC was observed in the 40% treatment. Leaf water loss (LWL) was higher in all treatments in Pershing variety than similar treatments in DPX variety. The highest amount of proline in leaves and roots was related to treatments with lower RWC, which was observed in Pershing and DPX cultivars in 20% and 40% treatments, respectively. In both cultivars, the amount of proline amino acid was higher in the leaves than in the root. The results showed that in both cultivars, leaves were more affected by water stress than roots, and Pershing cultivar showed more sensitivity in low water levels. Manuscript profile

        M. pulegium is belongs to Lamiaceae. Pulegon as a main ingredient in mint has antimicrobial and aromatic properties which has been used to treatment of many diseases. In this study M. pulegium were collected from three natural habitats of Ziaber, Masal and Abkenard in the flowering stage in Guilan province. Also, rhizomes of habitat samples were cultivated in the research farm of Zanjan University in the same year. The rhizomes of the these populations were collected in the spring of 2017 and transferred to the research farm of Zanjan University. In the summer of the same year, flowering branches were harvested from natural habitates. The essential oil was extracted by using a Clevenger apparatus and water distillation and were and bused by GC and GC-MS. Results were showed that the polygon were highly varied in all populations, in which the highest and lowest content of pulegone was observed in cultivated population in Zanjan and Abkenar population with 54.43% and 40.19%, respectively. According to the results, the populations grown habitat were superior to morphological traits such as leaf length, plant height and number of internodes. A higher percentage of essential oil was observed in the cultivated population, it may be due to decrease in rainfall, an increase in altitude, as well as differences in latitude and longitude. The pulegon and camphene in Ziaber region had the highest amount with 49.17% and 11.84%, respectively, in Masal region, pulegon with 49.47% and gamaterpinen with 24.24% and in Abkenar region, pulegon (40.19%) and gamaterpinen (11.56%) were the most compounds. The high amount of these compounds in the studied populations indicates the high quality of essential oil in this medicinal plant. In this study, the cultivated populations had fewer compounds with a high percentage of the main compounds compared to other populations, so it seems they have more superiority and potential for breeding and domestication programs.

        Tomato early blight disease, caused by the fungus Alternaria alternata, is one of the most devastating diseases for the crop in Iran and worldwide. Recent studies have shown that some secondary metabolites of medicinal plants are effective in preventing the growth of fungi and are a good alternative to the use of chemical pesticides. In the present study, ten medicinal plants including Eucalyptus sp., Thymus vulgaris, Mentha piperita, Mentha longifolia, Mentha aquatica, Satureja hortensis, Achillea millefolium, Foeniculum vulgare, Anethum graveolens, and Trachyspermum copticum were collected during 2016-2017. Their essential oils were extracted using Clevenger apparatus, and GC-MS device was used to identify the essential oil compounds. Antifungal activity of essential oils was assayed through the inhibition of fungal colony growth at five concentrations of 0, 200, 400, 800, and 1200 ppm in mixing with potato dextrose agar medium with three replicates. The findings revealed that fungus colony growth was inhibited with increases in essential oils concentrations, and there were significant differences among different essential oils. Essential oils of Satureja hortensis, Trachyspermum copticum and Thymus vulgaris in 800 and 1200 ppm and Anethum graveolens in 1200 ppm demonstrated the highest effect on fungus colony growth. This study found that Carvacrol, Thymol, Para-cymene, and Gamma-terpinene ingredients tend to have the highest antifungal effects. Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the diversity of 25 populations, an experiment was conducted using 18 morphophysiological characteristics and percentage of essential oil.Samples were collected at their full flowering phase and morphophysiological characteristics were recorded.The results showed a variation among populations. By calculating genetic and environmental variances, changes in most traits including: stem leaf length, stem leaf width and stem leaf width/length, umbellule diameter, umbellule 100 dry weight/ umbellule 100 wet weight and a chlorophyll/b chlorophyll were determined by genetic factors. The general heritability showed the percentage of essential oil, umbellule number in plant and umbellule 100 dry weight were 0.91, 0.51 and 0.77, respectively. Study of correlation between characteristics and stepwise regression exhibited the greatest impact of the flower texture on essential oil production and umbellule 100 dry weight. Based on the factor analysis results, the three main factors justified 78.6% of the total variation among the characteristics. The biomass of the plant was the first factor followed by percentage of essential oil and flower weight as the second and third factors, respectively. Based on the cluster analysis results, the populations can be divided into 5 groups; in which third and fifth groups, with the highest average percentage of essential oil and maximum Umbellule 100 dry weight and Umbellule numbers in a plant, exhibited a great potential for cultivation. Moreover, the populations in cluster 1 and 4 alternatively have the greatest genetic distance from each other which can be exploited in cross over and production of synthetic seeds.

        Growth and generation of plants in different ecosystems and natural habitats are influenced by various factors. The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the phytochemicals and antioxidants of three widely-used medicinal plant species including Zataria multifolia Boiss, Matricaria chamomilla L. and Achilla millefolium L. which grown in five natural habitats (Fasa, Firoozabad, Kazeroun, Farashband and Dehram) located in Fars province, South of Iran . Phenolic and flavonoid contents of the extracts obtained by maceration (soaking) method were determined via Folin-Ciocaltiu and Aluminum chloride colorimetric, respectively. The antioxidant properties were also investigated through DPPH method. Based on the results, there is a positive correlation between plant secondary compounds and their antioxidant performance, and this relationship was quite significant for all three plant samples. Among the regions under the study, the highest phenolic and flavonoid compounds yields were detected in Farashband and Dehram regions, respectively. Among the results, the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant properties were identified in Achillea eriophora DC and Zataria multifolia Boiss species from Farashband and Dehram regions had the highest values. The differences observed in phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant properties could be attributed to the effects of climatic conditions such as height above sea level on the investigated plants.

        Satureja hortensis L. is one of the valuable plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family that its leaves and flowering branches contain essential oil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Thiobacillus biological and chemical fertilizers on morphological and phytochemical characteristics of this plant. The present study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the research farm of Golmakan town in 2019. Experimental treatments included Thiobacillus biological fertilizer (0, 5 and 12 kg/ha) and chemical fertilizer (0, 35 and 70 kg/ha). Plant essential oil was extracted from savory leaves at flowering stage by Clevenger apparatus, then the constituents of the essential oil were analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that all morphological traits of the plant as well as the quality and quantity of the active ingredients of the essential oil were affected by fertilizer treatments. The combined application of biological and chemical fertilizers led to an increase in the studied traits compared to the non-application of fertilizer. The highest plant height (48.8 cm), leaf dry weight (9.7 g) and essential oil density (3.67%) were obtained in the combined use of fertilizers. The two main constituents of savory essential oil including carvacrol (62.10%) and gamaterpinen (19.04%) showed the highest increase in the treatment composition of 12 kg/ha of Thiobacillus fertilizer and 70 kg/ha of chemical fertilizer (NPK). Based on the results, we found that combinations of biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer could increase the morphological characteristics, quantity and quality of savory essential oil.

        Dracocephalum kotschyi is one of the most important medicinal plants of the Lamiaceae family, which is endangered due to unfavorable environmental conditions. Therefore, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of biofertilizers on changes in some physiological and biochemical traits, the effect of biofertilizers at four levels (nitroxin, super nitroplus, biophosphorus and non-use of biofertilizer) on Dracocephalum kotschyi growth under drought stress at three levels (irrigation until the completion of 80%, 60 and 40% of field capacity), an experiment in 1398 in the form of factorial in a completely randomized design with 3 replications in a greenhouse was carried out. The study of changes in photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf relative water content in Dracocephalum kotschyi in response to various biofertilizers and different irrigation regimes showed that with increasing drought stress, chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll along with chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) had a significant decrease. While the use of supernitroplus and biophosphorus biofertilizers in irrigation conditions up to 60 and 40% of field capacity significantly increased the above-mentioned traits in the Dracocephalum kotschyi leaves in comparison with plants treated with nitroxin fertilizer and control plants (Without biofertilizer). Increased drought intensity also caused a significant increase in carbohydrates, soluble proteins, anthocyanins and flavonoids, although the use of biofertilizers containing growth-promoting bacteria, further enhanced the amount of these compounds compared to the control (no fertilizer treatment). The highest levels of anthocyanins (37.82 mg g-1 fresh weight) and flavonoid compounds (16.62 mg g-1 fresh weight) were found in plants grown under severe drought stress (irrigation up to 40% of field capacity) and Biophosphorus application.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the quantity and quality of essential oils and effect of different treatments on the percentage and germination rate of this species due to the low germination percentage of its seeds. The aerial parts of the plant were collected at flowering stage in the summer of 2012 from Kasai habitat in Tabriz Then, its essential oil was obtained by clevenger method and analized by GC/MS. Seed test was conducted based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 replications. Treatments included gibberllin at three levels of concentration (100, 150 and 200 ppm for 24 h), three levels of wash time (12, 24 and 72 h), chilling at three levels of duration (for 24, 48 and 72 h) and magnetic treatment (50 and 130 mT for 5, 10, 20, 25 and 30 min) and control. Based on the results, the essential oil yield of this species was 0.8% by weight and the presence of 23 compounds including trans-meta-mentha-2,8-diene, spathulenol, &alpha;-Pinene, 1,8-cineol and &beta;-pinene in the essential oil components of this plant was proved. Seed test result showed that seeds treated with 100 ppm gibberellin had the highest germination rate (47 %) and seeds treated with 130 mT for 20 min had the highest germination rate (5.83) compared to control (16) and (1/99) respectively.

Based on data analysis and comparison between species and populations within each species, late lowering species such as A. linifolium and A. Stapfi had higher aerial and grain yield than early flowering species including dwarf alyssum (A. marginatum), desert Alyssum (A. desertorum), Araraty Alyssum (A.szowitsianum).The simple correlation between the studied traits showed that there was a positive correlation between plant height and &nbsp;aerial yield and grain yield. The rate of plant establishment was positively correlated with plant height and negatively correlated with the stems number. Result of principal component analysis (PCA) obtained three main components considering the eigenvalues greater than one that justified 90% of total variance. The results of cluster analysis led to the grouping populations into five groups. The species of A.stapfi, A. hirsutum and A.desertorum were placed in a one group. The studied populations provided a suitable genetic background for selecting superior populations with important traits from different clusters, so that they can be used in breeding improved varieties.

        To investigate the effect of the environment on phenolic and flavonoid contents and antioxidant and phytochemical properties of essential oils in five cultivars of hop, in four regions of Golestan province (Gorgan, Aliabad, Galikesh, and Azadshahr), an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications during 2021-2022. Fruit extracts were prepared by soaking method using acetone solvent and the phenolic and flavonoid contents and the antioxidant properties were determined via Folin-Ciocalteu, aluminum chloride colorimetric, and DPPH method, respectively. Extraction of essential oils from fruit and identification of the compounds in the essential oil were carried out by water distillation method (Clevenger machine) and a gas chromatograph connected to a mass spectrometer (GC/MS), respectively. Overall, 32 compounds were identified, including Beta-acid, Alpha-acid, Co-humulone, total oil, Caryophyllene, Humulene, and Myrcene compounds, as the main components of the essential oil. Cascade cultivar in Gorgan region had the highest rate of phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant activity, which can be related to the climatic conditions of the region and the higher potential of this cultivar. Also, all cultivars in Gorgan region had the highest content of secondary metabolites than others. Among the cultivated cultivars, Cascade and then Centennial had the highest content of secondary metabolites in all cultivation areas. Therefore, in order to achieve higher secondary metabolites, cultivation of Cascade in Gorgan region is recommend. On the other hand, Nugget in Galicash had the lowest content of secondary metabolites, which can be related to its lower potential in production of secondary metabolites and the climatic conditions of Galicash region which is located at a higher altitude and has a negative effect on the production of secondary metabolites. Therefore, considering the effect of different environmental conditions on the medicinal compounds of the species, it is recommended to evaluate the effect of the other factors, including the soil of the habitats.

        Eryngium campestre is a biennial herbaceous plant native to northern Iran. &nbsp;Nowadays, the use of chemical fertilizers has increased significantly, which has irreparable effects on the environment and human health. &nbsp;The use of organic compounds and biofertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers has recently received much attention. Also, it is more important to study about natural substances that contain more antimicrobial properties and less side effects, such as plant extracts. For this purpose, an experiment was conducted. This experiment was conducted in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources in 2019-2020 in a factorial format based on a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The treatments included: nitroxin (0, 1 and 2 ml/l), humic acid (0, 1 and 2 ml/l), glycine (0, 75 and 150 mg/l). The measured traits included total phenol, total flavonoid, antioxidant activity, total sugar, chlorophyll, carotenoid and activity of catalase and peroxidase enzymes. The effect of glycine on the measured traits was significant except flavonoids and catalase enzyme activity at 5 and 1% levels. Also, the effect of nitroxin on the measured traits was significant at the level of 1%. The effect of humic acid on the measured traits was significant except for the amount of antioxidant activity, chlorophyll and catalase enzyme activity at the level of 5 and 1%. Also, the interaction effect of all three treatments on the measured traits except catalase enzyme was significant at 1% level. In general, the results showed that the treatments used in this research, individually and in combination (interaction effect), increased most of the measured traits. Also, an experiment was conducted regarding the effect of Eryngium campestre extract on the population of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The results showed that Eryngium campestre extract did not inhibit the bacteria. In general, the results showed that the used compounds can be used to improve the biochemical characteristics of the Eryngium campestre. Manuscript profile

        The increasing development of industries and refineries has enhanced heavy metals as a worldwide environmental problem, which shows a potential threat to humans, animals, and plants due to their non-degradable and stable characteristics. Many heavy metal compounds are highly soluble in water which facilitates their easy transfer into the food chain and accumulation in the environment such as excessive amounts of heavy metals in sediments, wastes, and aquatic organisms. There is numerous microbial biomass with different enzymatic capabilities to bioremediate heavy metals such as fungi, bacteria, and algae. Bacteria with a high surface area to volume ratio and easy availability could adsorb heavy metals using functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl on their cell wall. Therefore, in this study, the use of biological and cost-effective methods to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions was considered. For this purpose, the potential of marine bacteria isolated from Khor Musa sediments, which are located in the northwest Persian Gulf, in removing copper was evaluated. The sediment samples were diluted in the NaCl solution and cultivated on the nutrient agar media containing copper concentrations of 10, 50, and 100 mg/L. After 3 days of incubation at 30 &deg;C, the bacteria colonies on the media with a 100 mg/L copper concentration were isolated and purified for further assessment. The primary identification of the isolated bacteria was performed using gram staining and the potassium hydroxide (KoH) test. Then, biochemical tests and the 16S rRNA sequence were utilized to accomplish the bacterial identification. The potential of isolated bacteria in copper removal was evaluated under 50, 100, and 200 mg/L copper concentrations for 150 min. The sampling was performed in 30 min intervals using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Cultivation of sediment samples in a nutrient agar medium containing concentrations of 10 to 100 mg/L of copper led to the isolation and identification of two resistant bacteria from the genus Ochrobactrum sp. Both bacteria were gram-negative and rod-shaped, positive mobility and oxidase tests, negative methyl red (MR) and Voges-Proskauer (VP), and H2S producing in triple sugar iron agar (TSI) test. Furthermore, glucose and maltose tests indicated that the isolated bacteria were oxidative. The bacterium O. anthropi strain YX0703 illustrated a remarkable performance in which that removed 71.08% and 63.96% of copper metal in concentrations of 100 and 200 mg/L, respectively. In addition, a range of copper removal in a concentration of 50 mg/L was from 47.3% after inoculation, to 72.6% at 120 min. The maximum removal of copper was observed in the first 60 min of exposure to the metal equivalent to 64.92%. While, the highest percentage of metal removal by O. tritici strain AN4 was obtained at a concentration of 50 mg/L, equivalent to 72.62%, and when the concentration increased to 200 mg/L, the removal rate decreased to 49.97%. It is noteworthy to mention that O. tritici strain AN4 removed 58.22% of copper at a concentration of 100 mg/L in 90 min while the removal trend was relatively constant after 90 min exposure to the copper. The samples containing copper without bacterial inoculation were considered as control which showed a constant concentration during the experiments. Comparing the amount of copper absorbed by bacteria in different concentrations showed a significant difference (p&lt;0.05) and with the increase in copper concentration, the amount of metal absorbed by bacteria enhanced. In fact, the biosorption of metal ions to the cell wall of microorganisms continues until a balance is established between the absorbed ions and the number of remaining ions in the solution, therefore, at high concentrations due to the abundance of metal ions, more ions must be absorbed by the bacteria. According to the obtained results, more than 70% of a 50 mg/L copper concentration was absorbed by both O. tritici strain AN4 and O. anthropi strain YX0703 in 150 min. The performance of bacteria in concentrations of 100 and 200 mg/L was also impressive, which indicates the high capacity of these bacteria in the biosorption of copper. Therefore, by providing optimal growth conditions, the potential of this group of bacteria can be used to reduce heavy metal pollution in the southern aquatic ecosystems, especially in areas that are heavily influenced by human activities. Moreover, Generally, the obtained results depicted the possibility of using these bacteria to treat wastewater contaminated with heavy metals. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Climate conditions is one of the most important and affecting factors on different aspects of life, especially the health and human comfort. In this study, using bioclimatic and Tourism indices including; Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) and Nervous Stress, climatic comfort of Hamedan province is evaluated. For each of the indicators, were used climatic parameters of the 9 meteorological stations in the province in 14-year period (2014- 2001). Then, different areas of the province have been evaluated in terms of above bioclimatic indices. The results show that different areas of the province have a large variety of climatic comfort during the year. Based on PET, in May (Malayer, Nahavand, Tuyserkan, Razan, Ghahavand and Famenin Stations), in September (Hamadan station) and in October (Asadabad, Famenin and Ghahavand) are under optimum climate conditions, and "non stress". Also, based on the Nervous Stress index; in June, Hamedan and Famenin stations and in July, all stations are in "warm and comfortable" condition. In August; Hamedan, Malayer, Nahavand and Razan stations are in "Comfortable" and the rest of the stations are in "warm and comfortable". In September; all stations are in the "cool" condition. In general, according to the above indicators examined in terms of climatic comfort, the best time in the province are May, September and October respectively. However, based on Nervous Stress index, comfort conditions provides only in August. During this period, in addition to the optimal climatic comfort, natural beauty across the province is also very favorable. Manuscript profile

        Due to land constraints on the planet, most facilities are located in urban areas. As such, the importance of the development of ecotourism has gradually been highlighted. According to this, the purpose of this study was to identify the intensive and extensive tourism sites in the three categories of suitable and semi- suitable and unsuitable areas based on ecological ability for warm seasons in the city of Nowshahr. In this regard, the ecotourism tourism model was used with climatic criteria of temperature, rainfall, hill shade and slope, geology and land use. Then, tourism sites were identified using GIS technique and conditional methods and algebraic composition. After analysis, 519 suitable sites were identified with a total area of 4,838 hectares and often in central altitude (1300-1800 meters) and east-west along the road and rivers of the city of Noshahr. Approximately, 158 tourism sites were identified with an area of about 74.8 hectares in the middle and upstream (about 2550-4000 meters) in the city of Noshahr. In general, extensive suitable sites have a wider distribution and less area than intensive suitable sites. Manuscript profile

        Graveyards in Iran have long been one of the most important urban parts, since their uses have not only had a direct relationship with urban planning rules but they have also been under the influence of religious beliefs and customs of people, so organizing and locating them also own certain sensitivities. In terms of the structural situation, the current cemeteries of Pars Abad city are not in good conditions. On the other hand, they lack a suitable burial capacity to meet the new demands of the urban dead. Therefore, this study aims has been attempted to optimize the sites around the city to build a new cemetery using Boolean logic and Fuzzy Logic in the form of GIS. In order to identify the most fundamental factors in determining the appropriate place for the urban cemeteries, the role and affectability of each of the above- mentioned factors in the site selection was determined. Then, using the fuzzy membership functions (Gaussian, large and linear), different maps were prepared based on the nature and role of these factors in site selection. Next, through designing the inference network and taking advantage of the Fuzzy Logic model and its operators (Prod, Sum, and gammas of 0.7, 0.8, and 0.9), the data combination was performed non- linearly. Ultimately, the most suitable sites obtained by the inference network were compared according to the degrees of membership and their distance to the defined boundaries. The results show deep differences between facilities and the desirable status quo site selection of the graveyards. In the end, several measures aimed at restoring the long-standing role of the urban graveyards in the structure of civil life and its attitudes&rsquo; changes towards its executive and research are suggested.

        The human relationship with the earth, over time, is always changing. This, in turn, has had a decisive impact on the use of urban lands. Therefore, in order to control urban growth, it is very important that, by identifying the ecological potential of the environment, the process of future development of the city be directed and managed in order to minimize the negative environmental impacts of natural resources of the city. With this view, after the implementation of the evaluation indicators through the system model, it has been tried to provide appropriate solutions for predicting future development of the city with an emphasis on environmental aspects. Therefore, while assessing the ecological capability of urban development in Sari using a system model, the zones in the form of very suitable and relatively suitable land parcels of urban development along with inappropriate land were identified. A very suitable class for urban development system model covered an area of about 433.143 square kilometers, equivalent to 11.22 percent, and a relatively suitable land had a surface of 126.29 square kilometers, equivalent to 34.3 percent of the city of Sari. Finally, it was concluded that 3,103 km2, which is 84.84% of the total 3662.151 sq. km of the area of Sari, cannot be developed for the creation of urban elements and other uses due to the indicators defined in the systemic model (Makhdoom). Undoubtedly, in order to preserve the ecosystems and environment, following this task seems necessary for the authorities to develop urban areas in future. Manuscript profile

        Choosing suitable points to establish daily neighborhood markets, as service units, is an important task for urban planners in the field of location sciences. It is related to facilitating urban access and controlling urban traffic. The purpose of this research is to locate neighborhood day markets in Zabol, considering proper distribution to enhance accessibility and improve intra-city travel demand. The research method used in this study is descriptive and analytical. Initially, the positive and negative factors influencing location were identified and examined. Then, through data collection, information layer preparation, classification, internal valuation of the layers, and weighting and overlaying of information layers using fuzzy logic in a GIS environment, the lands of Zabol were prioritized for creating neighborhood day markets. Six favorable points for locating day markets were identified. Furthermore, considering the characteristics of each selected point and calculating the accessibility of the forty neighborhoods in Zabol, the forbidden search algorithm was applied to solve the hub location problem. The software provided the best possible answer after 100 iterations, with a final weight of 531, within a time frame of 11 seconds. The algorithm&rsquo;s findings indicate that points 1, 2, 4, and 5 are the most suitable for locating day markets. Manuscript profile

        In the current century, when the development of science and technology is accompanied by speed, complexity and uncertainties, traditional methods of planning face serious challenges. One of these challenges and weaknesses is the inability of traditional planning to identify key factors. It is ecologically effective in the future development of cities. In fact, the futurist approach to urban planning uses a variety of tools and techniques to build a better future. The present study has identified the key factors affecting the development of Dorcheh city with the technique of interaction analysis, which is one of the common methods of foresight, and using MIC MAC software, with emphasis on the ecological approach. For this purpose, using the Delphi method, among the proposed variables, 20 variables were identified in five groups (social dimensions, political dimensions, economic dimensions, environmental dimensions and physical dimensions) and then analyzed by Mick Mac software. And analyzed. The results indicate that the Dorcheh city system does not have ecological stability and in the scattering page of Mick Mac diagram, five categories of variables (effective, two-dimensional, affective, regulatory and independent) can be identified, finally according to the impact and variability of variables. On top of each other, four variables of environmental degradation, clean energy use, tourism development and agricultural land conservation were identified as the driving and key variables for the development of Dorcheh city with emphasis on ecological approach.

        Inequality in development among different cities has recently been under consideration of regional planning&rsquo;s culture, and it is yet to be known in our country. It might look easy to comment on the development and backwardness of different regions, but quantitative measurement of the development cannot be considered a simple work. The purpose of this article is to determine the development level of cities in Hamedan province and also to analyze regional inequalities in this province.&nbsp; The research method used in this article is descriptive &ndash; analytical and the five indicators including; healthcare, social, cultural, educational, economical (agricultural &ndash; animal husbandry), and demographic structural occupation and infrastructural urban services have been studied. To determine the assumptions of the research and level of development of the cities, fuzzy logic techniques have been used. The fuzzy model has been designed in three phases to estimate the level of the development of cities each year. In the next stage, the trends of spatial inequalities for cities have been specified by Williamson&rsquo;s differential coefficient model using the outputs of the fuzzy model. The level of development over 13 years (1380 &ndash; 1393) indicates that Hamedan with a developmental index of 0.65 is considered as the most developed city and Famenin with a development index of 0.29 is determined as the least developed one. The Pattern of the structure governing Hamedan region is determined as center- environs which requires authorities&rsquo; special attention to the equal distribution of facilities in the cities of the northern part of the province.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        One of the most important issues of the city and urbanization in Iran is the analysis of physical growth and development of the city and urbanization. In this regard, the overall goal of urban planning is to ensure the well-being of the people by creating a better, healthier, more effective and more pleasant environment. Therefore, land suitability analysis for urban development and identification of suitable priority lands for physical development is very urgent. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the physical development of Nikshahr with emphasis on urban spread, to identify the factors affecting the physical development of the city, to recognize the capabilities and limitations of physical development of the city and to provide appropriate solutions for principled and practical planning and the physical development of the city. The methodology of the present study is descriptive-analytical and based on library, documentary and field studies, and Arc GIS software and fuzzy logic method in GIS environment have been used for data analysis. The results indicate that the main natural feature of Nikshahr is the heights, rivers and their sub-branches, which have caused the city to take a linear shape and extend along the southwest to the northeast. On the other hand, the heights in the north and parts of the south of the city and also in an area of ​​the western body of the city have caused the city not to develop and expand in a north-south direction. Finally, it should be noted that the unplanned growth of Nikshahr can cause many problems, and on the contrary, the efforts for vertical and intelligent growth can lead to sustainable development.

        The emergence and establishment of cities is subjected to environmental and natural phenomena more than any other factor. The reason is that natural phenomena have certain effect on location finding, dispersion, penetration and prevalence area, physical development and urban morphology. Following economic and social evolution in the&nbsp; last decades, the trend of urbanization in Iran has led to ungovernable development of cities. This development, improper and incongruence with capacities and natural facilities, has created unsightly consequences in bio-skeletal space of cities. Considering the points mentioned, the purpose of this study is to examine geomorphological limitations for physical development of Kermanshah and its proper location in future development .To achieve this purpose of a topographic map, geology , landslide, land use, erosion, meteorological data, and field research using library resources&nbsp; is taken. Using DEM 1:25000 from Iran Mapping Organization, the information related to slope, the aspect and altitude height of the area have been obtained, then based on fuzzy GIS ARC, the earth has been zoned for physical development of Kermanshah based on two factors including natural factors (altitude height, slope, aspect, geology, fault, flood, landslide, land use, erosion and quadruplet protecting areas) and human factors (highway, power transmission lines, army areas) .The final result of fuzzy multiplying of final map has been obtained from the location tree. Improper area which is 51617 hectare, average area which is 1372 hectare and proper area which is 1126 hectare were recognized. The major proper area is located in areas higher than Ghareh So River which ends up to Kermanshah- Sanandaj road in western part and it continues linear to the eastern part. Another area has been located in south western in Javanrood- Kermanshah road and a polygon has been located in south part of Kermanshah near Islam Abad road. The major part of improper area has been found to be located in north, south and south eastern and in the central part, on Ghare So River due to flooding and fault.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

The methodology of this article is based on descriptive and explanatory method. The main purpose of this research is to determine ecological footprint of township of kermanshah. The findings show that the ecological footprint in the township of Kermanshah is 2.445 hectares per person. This value have been distributed in five main groups: Food 1.225 (ha), housing; 0.615(ha), transportation;0.275(ha), consumer goods; 0.27(ha) and Services; 0.06(ha).The results confirm the fact that the township of Kermanshah to meet the needs of its viability is dependent on the area beyond the township of Kermanshah .Since the bio capacity of 0.8 hectares for Iranian, Ecological footprint is 2.445 hectares in Kermanshah township means three times larger than their share of environmental capacity allocated to the township 's sustainability. In other words, it can be stated that taking the current trend continues , the township of Kermanshah for food , energy and land requires to absorb the carbon dioxide Space equivalent to 10 times larger than&nbsp; township itself and 3.3 fold of Kermanshah province .

        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No one can ever deny the geomorphologic constrains for physical development of cities as a main task of Geographers and urban planners. Recent socio-economic issues caused rapid disproportionate balance of natural potentials of the city by making lots of consequences and risks. Rapid growth of population and occupying more lands in the city lead to misbalancing between physical growth and desirable agricultural farms and gardens around the cities by causing lots of Irreparable damage to the environment. Therefore, locating suitable land for urban development is necessary. In this research, by using questionnaire, AHP model and Fuzzy model in ARC GIS, constrains and preferable lands for future development of Tuyserkan based on 9 criteria (slope, distance from river, distance from the fault, height, coverage vegetation, land type, land use, and flooding of the ground material) were analyzed and mapped to 5 units of zoning. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Metal oxide nanoparticles due to their antioxidant properties have attracted significant attention and exhibited good potential for use in cancer theranostics. Owing to the poor absorption in the physiological environment, they are an ideal candidate to act as nanocarriers in targeted drug delivery and bioimaging. This feature can be successfully implemented in live monitoring and imaging applications, which offer the possibilities and scope for optical, magnetic resonance, and nuclear imaging. The environment of malignant cells like the rapid proliferation of cells, specific antigen expressions, and leaky tumor vasculature can be used by the modifications in their morphology and surface functionalization. Ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles have been fascinating in this regard. Different properties such as size, agglomeration behavior, and surface charge density facilitate the interaction of nanoparticles with cancer cells. Compared to other nanoparticles, CeO2 nanoparticles have a potential for pharmaceutical use since they can act as a therapeutic agent in different disorders such as cancer, inflammation, and neurodegeneration, due to the ability to exhibit variable oxidation state at the nanoparticle surface. Recent literature reports the eco-friendly or ‘green’ synthesis of CeO2 nanoparticles in which the biological agent acts as stabilizers for a cost-effective and feasible mode of preparation. In this review, we focus on recent literature on CeO2 nanoparticles with an emphasis on the methods of fabrication and biomedical applications. Manuscript profile

        Two simple, fast and novel delicate fluorimetric and spectrophotometric strategies were examined for the measure of ceftobiprole (CEF) utilizing gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). On spectrofluorimetric strategy, gold nanoparticles were utilized as a fluorescence test. The expansion of CEF to Au-NPs arrangement caused significant quenching of the outflow band of Au-NPs, which was likely due to the complexation of the medicate to gold NPs. Beneath the ideal conditions, the extinguished fluorescence (FL) escalated was straight with the examined concentration. The extinguishing instrument of CEF on the outflow band of Au-NPs was clarified by Stern-Volmer law. The moment spectrophotometric strategy was based on conglomeration of synthesized gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles appeared retention at 522 nm. Upon interaction with the CEF, the band at 522 nm vanished with arrangement of a unused ruddy moved band at 673. Distinctive exploratory variables were optimized for higher affectability. The calibration bands were straight with concentration extend of 0.1-12 &micro;g/mL for the examined medicate. The methods were connected effectively to decide the studiedddrug in minor concentrations in immaculate frame, pharmaceutical measurement shapes and organic liquids (human serum and urine samples).

        The major aim of this paper is the survey of impact of trade and financial openness on ecological footprint in selected developing countries. In this paper, it has been tried to test the effect of trade and financial openness on ecological footprint in the form of simultaneous-equation system on the base of panel data to the years from 1994 to 2014. The results show, there are several factors, which can affect the trade and financial openness and cannot be considered as exogenous variables. Considering trade and financial openness as endogenous variables and the factors influencing them, the impact of such variables on the ecological footprint index can be examined more precisely. On this basis, trade openness has positive and significant effect on ecological footprint index (negative effect on environment quality). On the other hand, according to shelter of pollution hypothesis financial openness variable has positive and significant effect on the ecological footprint index. Manuscript profile

        Auto-segmental phonology is a continuation of research in generative phonology framework firstly proposed by Goldsmith in 1976. In auto-segmental phonology, phonological representation comes out of the linear mode and it is explained in form of network and hierarchy. Accordingly, in auto-segmental phonology, the focus is on the changes which phonological rules can do on the organization of phonological realizations. In auto-segmental phonology, realizations are not as the simple phonological elements which include all phonological rules at the same level, anymore. In auto-segmental phonology, phonological rules not only affect phonological elements, but also influence the manner of the relation of elements in different layers. This research aims to investigate the phonological process of vowels harmony in Gilaki dialect in Rasht on the basis of auto-segmental phonology. The research method is both descriptive and analytical. The data have been collected by field study method. The results revealed that auto-segmental phonology, itself, was able to explain and represent the phonological process of vowel harmony in Gilaki dialect of Rasht. Manuscript profile

        &nbsp; &nbsp; Omission refers to the elision of a segment during the production of a speech sound. Deletion of a segment usually occurs in initial, medial, or final positions of a word. Complete deletion of a segment included a consonant or a vowel regarded as one of the most common universal processes in phonology. Considering this fact, the present research aims at investigating the "deletion" process in Bakhtiyari dialect in Izeh. To get this end, the required data collected by field study via recording the sample data from speakers (age range between 60 to 70 years). Collected data were classified and transcribed. Descriptive &ndash;analytical method was used to analyze them within the theoretical framework of optimality. The results of our analysis showed dominating constraints on the optimal candidates during analyzing the process of segment deletion in Bakhtiyari dialect. In the process of omission, the optimal candidates selected in Bakhtiyari dialect by observing the "markedness constraints" and receiving the least penalization from the faithful limitation in the surface level. Thus, in this dialect, markedness constraints play the fundamental role in determining the optimal output dominates over the other constraints. Manuscript profile

        Ureh is the village located in west part of Natanz City in Isfahan Province, adjacent to Karkas Mountains, that is 130 km away from the center of the Province. In this research, besides the brief geographical and historical introduction of the village, the most frequent and applicable phonetic system and phonological processes in the standard Persian lexical loan within the Ureh village dialect are studied. The methodology of this study was field study in which the data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the speaker of the dialect in the area. Then, the collected data are classified in the current phonological processes patterns, and the words samples are presented in the process. The purpose of this study was to identify and classify the most frequent phonological processes in the standard Persian lexical loan in Ureh village dialect. At last, some sentences were presented as the sample of the dialect. It is concluded that there is no significant and meaningful difference between the phonological system among the Ureh village dialect speakers and standard Persian terms; and only through the phonological processes, including exchange, omission, addition, and changing, there is a meaningful difference. The vowels and consonants of the standard Persian terms are changed in this dialect, and it can be said that phonologically the vowels and consonants are similar to other terms in the Ureh village dialect. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

Morphological processes of phonological changes occur in a morphological contexts, those changes happened among morphemes, and are phonologically governed. The research was analytical and the data were collected from Tati books and local media. This study probed into the application of the morphological processes in Takesteni Tati dialect Clitics and Final Consonant Ellison from optimality point of view. The results illustrated that in Tati both elision and insertion processes happened in morphological borders, highlighting conspiracy in this language. In other words, this study concluded that the global ranking restrictions also apply to Tati and the constraints in Tati dialect were in line with global ones. The present study could be added to the linguistic scope and knowledge of scholars, acquainting the researchers more with morphological processes of Tati dialect and its adaptation to the universalities of this realm.

The data required for conducting this research has been collected by interviewing with 6 native informants of the mentioned language variety in the age range of 25 to 60 years. In addition, for preparing more data, the researchers used written documents. The native intuition of one of the writers of the article was utilized to. The analysis of the collected data shows that the processes of assimilation, insertion and a vowel harmony are very productive in this language variety. Some of the main results of this study are as follows: 1.In the Qashqai Turkish, the glide [j] is inserted between vowel sequences at the morpheme boundary to prevent vowel hiatus. 2. In the process of vowel harmony, the vowel of the plural suffix /lAr/ and also the vowel of the negative-imperative suffix /mA/ become assimilated with the root vowel in the feature [+ back]. 3. In consonant assimilation within this language variety, assimilation among homorganic consonants always results in total assimilation and consequently yields fake germination Manuscript profile

Among different kinds of weakening, spirantization and approximation are also the most frequent in this accent. In the framework of Optimality Theory, markedness constraints are often responsible for optimal candidates. Manuscript profile

        Causatives are part of minds universalities and they are always expressed in all languages. Among several available instruments for encoding causative notion, morphological, lexical, and analytic causative constructions are common in languages. But the frequency and amount of their occurrence are different among them. This research aims in describing and analyzing different types of causative constructions in Azeri Turkish based on Comrie (1989) typological model and knowing about the used methods for causativisation. This research's language variety is spoken in west-north of Iran in Ardabil, eastern and western Azerbaijan provinces. The data are mostly gathered via documental method and interviewing 10 speakers (5 males and 5 females) from illiterate to educated levels in the age ranges of 45-80 years. The results show that based on the prominent typological views, it can be said that in Azeri-Turkish language in addition of using morphological, lexical, analytic, compound, and discoursal causatives, morphological causativisation is much more generative than the others due to agglutinative nature of this language, and potentially every non-causative predicate can change to causative by adding causative morpheme.

        Laki is one of the remaining dialects of the Pahlavi language and most of its speakers live in Lorestan, Kermanshah, Ilam and Hamadan. While time passing, words usually experience transformations in their structure. Laki language in transition from Pahlavi has also been changes in phonemes and words. The aim of this study is to investigate the process of phonological changes in the transition from Pahlavi to Laki languages, and the position and method of phonemes expressing in terms of common words change and it tries to answer these questions: 1) what are the phonemes changes in the transition process from the Pahlavi to the Laki? 2) Have the position and manner of articulation of phonemes had a role in the change of other phonemes? Consequently, phonological changes in the transition process from Laki to Pahlavi have been five processes of decreasing, increasing, relocation, merge, and change. Meanwhile, variations in the change of process are more than others. Phonological decreasing is in the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the words. Phonemes relocation exists only between a-r and a-s phonemes. It can be said the position and the expression method of phonemes have had effective role in phonemes change based on the statistics of this research. The procedure in this paper involved extracting common vocabularies from Pahlavi dictionaries and comparing them with Laki vocabulary items. Manuscript profile

        Tabasi dialect is the vernacular spoken in Tabas, one of the cities in Khorasan province, Iran. In the present article, the aim is to study some phonological processes of this variety. The data were gathered by field study and written sources. The data from field study were collected via interviews with the local informants settled in Tabas. The informants age ranged between 30 to 80 years. Generally, the results showed that the process of "elision" and "assimilation", &ldquo;metathesis&rdquo; and &ldquo;prothesis&rdquo; are some of the phonological ones in this variety. Other phonological processes in this variety are mentioned as well. In Tabasi dialect, deletion of the final consonants /d/, /m/, /n/, /t/, /k/, /z/; deletion of the final vowel [y]; addition of a vowel at the beginning of a cluster consonant; changing the phonetic group [ān] and [ām] to [u(n)] and [um]; exchanging the two phonemes [āb] and [ab] and [af] and [āy] and [āv] and the compound vowel [əw] are some of the phonological processes.

        Music is an fundamental part of the culture of any nation, and it can be clearly stated that civilized and ancient nations enjoy music in their historical and cultural background. This cultural phenomenon has always been considered by poets due to the deep connection between poetry and music, and in their words, they have referred to music and its instruments. Kurdish language poets have also paid special attention to music and its instruments for nationalistic and literary purposes; they have referred to folk music and its instruments in different ways. Ghaneh, a famous Kurdish poet, is one of them. His divan is a rich source for the study of anthropology and popular culture. This article tries to study the function of musical instruments in Divan-e-Ghaneh in an analytical-descriptive approach based on the library method to explain the reflection of these musical instruments on the local music and folklore of the poet's region. The findings show that Ghaneh paid special attention to local musical instruments to enrich his poem. The poet has used Kurdish musical instruments, which are often local instruments, for various purposes such as making literary images, expressing social and nationalistic concepts, complaining about the world, describing various matters, mere references, and so on.

        Proverbs represent the beliefs, attitudes, culture, traditions, knowledge and attention of a nation to various issues, quoted in the form of popular clich&eacute; and metaphorical statements. On the one hand, such aphoristic sentences depict the nation&rsquo;s beliefs, on the other hand, they potentially have a remarkable educational role. Proverbs cross people&rsquo;s mind and are uttered in different situations. In fact, proverbs are mostly used to taunt people and to inform them, or to emphasize something. Since there is a great relationship between the level of attention paid to life-skills in a nation and their culture, it is possible to find out how much that nation considers life-skills by studying common proverbs there. The present study dealt with 400 common Lori&rsquo;s proverbs of Kohkilouye and Boyerahmadi based on the level and manner of paying attention to the components of life-skills using a descriptive and analytical method. The results indicated that the constituents of communication-skills, critical-thinking and problem-solving had the highest frequency, and the components of creative-thinking and decision-making had the lowest one. Communication-skills were mostly informative, the components of other skills such as critical-thinking, problem-solving, and empathy were used more to taunt people. The constituents of the skill of managing negative emotions were used both for teaching and informing, and for taunting people. Manuscript profile

        Kohpayeh, Vir and Qahpayeh as old names, is a city located seventy kilometers east of Isfahan and on the edge of the central desert of Iran. The geographical and natural position of Kohpayeh, based on the historical evidence is the leftover of the Sasanian era, along with the preservation of the Pahlavi language, and the speech of the people of this city, has indicated the antiquity and cultural richness of Kohpayeh. The authors of this article have investigated the verb morphological structure of this dialect with the aim to preserve and to introduce a part of the ancient Kupaee dialect. This research has been conducted in a descriptive-analytical way and the data were collected based on library sources and the field of research. The results of the research show that the verb structure in the Kupaee dialect has significant differences with the standard Persian language. In the Kupaie dialect, the construction of the present participle and the structure of future and imperative verbs do not follow any special rules. The position of the identifier in the verbs of past tense in this dialect is also not the same; means that the identifier in the simple past, past perfect, and present perfect tenses come before the root and in the rest of the verbs comes after the root.

        The aim of this study was to investigate the role of physical activity on the psychological well-being of women in Golestan province in the post-corona period. The research was descriptive-correlational according to the data collection method. The statistical population of the study is all women over 18 years of age in Golestan province. 384 people were selected based on Morgan and Adonsky table by stratified random sampling method. The research tool, in terms of physical activity evaluation, is the Physical Activity Questionnaire taken from Chou (2014) studies. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed, the reliability of the questionnaire was calculated through Cronbach's alpha coefficient and (&alpha; = 0.803) was reported. Psychological well-being was measured using a 18-item Reef psychological well-being questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, Spss 20 software was used. The results showed; The activity level of 57% of adult women in Golestan province is low. There is also a positive and significant relationship between the level of physical activity and psychological well-being (P = 0.643). According to the results, physical activity in the post-coronary period can help reduce the negative psychological effects associated with social distancing and adherence to quarantine during the coronation period. Also recommended; Organizations active in the field of public sports in Golestan province should design and implement a comprehensive program with the aim of developing independent mobility and increasing the level of physical activity.

        Background : The physical growth pattern is driven by the genetic, but under the influence of environmental factors such as exercise, there may be changes in growth patterns and chronological and biological age may not match. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between calendar age and biological age with strength, speed, agility and balance of Kyokushin karate boys in Rasht. Method: The present study was a correlational descriptive study. The population of this research was Kyokushin Karate boys aged 12-30 of from Rasht city, 55 of them were selected non &ndash; randomly and available as a sample. In order to measure the research variables, physical fitness tests (strength, speed, agility, power and balance) and body composition (BMI and body fat percentage) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and t-statistics to compare two correlation coefficients.Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between chronological age and anaerobic power, hand strength, agility and static and dynamic balance(p&lt; 0.05). Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between biological age and anaerobic power, hand strength, agility and dynamic balance(p&lt; 0.05). Conclusion: With the increase in the chronological and biological age of karate practitioners, we saw an increase in power and strength; however, speed decreased, which was not far off as body size increased. Also, static balance was only associated with increasing chronological age, which probably indicates that the growth of the skeletal-muscular system during puberty exceeds motor and balance growth.

All components of health are of considerable importance; But from the physiological point of view of exercise, what is most discussed is the dimensions of its physical and mental health. According to the World Health Organization, inactivity or lack of regular physical activity is the fourth leading cause of death in the world, accounting for approximately 7% of deaths worldwide.The results of studies show that one of the known and influential factors in improving the quality of life is physical activity; Because it increases the respiratory capacity, improves the circulatory system and heart function, increases neuromuscular efficiency and prevents various diseases.The results of studies have shown that the positive effects of physical activity are not limited to the physical dimension; It also directly involves the psychological dimension. Physical activity increases self-confidence and life expectancy by reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and by increasing hormones such as serotonin, it creates excitement for daily activities and relieves depression. Physical activity increases physical ability and efficiency and promotes health in individuals; Improves vitality, vitality and emotional performance and increases life expectancy.Also, as a non-invasive method, could effects on the function of many organs of the body, including the respiratory, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems, it strengthens memory and improves mood, and significantly reduces the costs of physical and mental illness.

To grab attentions to news, news services use a number of criteria that called news values and user location is an important factor for it. In this paper, LONEF is proposed as a tow stage recommendation system. In first stage news are ranked by user&rsquo;s locations and in second stage news are recommended by location Preferences, recency, Trustworthiness, groups priorities and popularity. To reduce ambiguity these properties is used tow Mamdani fuzzy interference and case-based decision systems. In Mamdani fuzzy interference system, it is tried to increase the system speed by optimizing selection of rules and membership functions and because of ambiguous feedback implementation, a decision making system is used to enable better simulation of user&rsquo;s activities.

        At various stages of fabric production, there are numerous damages to the surface of the fabric. Regardless of the causes of the failures, precise identification of their types helps to correctly classify the fabric and thus provides a high percentage of the quality control process. Quality control of fabrics is of great importance in order to improve product quality and maintain a competitive market. Identification of faulty areas in automated methods is of great importance. In this paper, a new method is presented in the clustering of faulty zones based on clustering as well as morphological operators. In the proposed method, after preprocessing necessary to improve image quality, the first step is to cluster the image to create similar areas. Then morphological operators are applied to extract the defective area. The defective area is represented by the active contour algorithm. Although many methods such as local binary patterns and other methods have been proposed, the speed of detection of these algorithms is low and has high computational complexity. The proposed method is implemented on the CMUPIE database and evaluated using accuracy assessment criteria and accuracy criteria. The accuracy of identifying defective areas in the proposed method is 93.82%, and the precision of detecting defective areas in the suggested method is 98.33% which are significantly improved compared to similar methods.

        Differential Cascode Voltage Switch (DCVS) is one of the most well-known logic styles, which forms a robust structure. In addition, two complementary outputs are produced in this logic style at the same time. It has several unique attributes and different applications. This paper presents three comparable methods to design some ternary half adders, whose efficiencies are superior especially when they are put one after another in a cascading scenario. These cells are essential for the realization of larger arithmetic circuits. In the third proposed method, instead of ternary inverters, which consume considerable static power, built-in low-power binary boosters are exploited to reinforce driving power of the DCVS circuits. Simulation results by HSPICE and 32 nm Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET) technology demonstrate that the new adder cell with binary boosters operates 21.8% faster and consume 6.7% less power than the cell with ternary inverters in a real test bed. Furthermore, the final design is compared with three other ternary half adders. The new design is faster than all of them, and also consumes less power and energy than the previous DCVS half adder.

        The multi-path transmission is an appropriate transmission method for high data rate packets like video streaming. To provide video streaming with high quality, the video packets are divided into different frames for transmitting through various paths. Nevertheless, regarding the results of numerous inherent features of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), designing an efficient and stable routing protocol is difficult for various applications of VANETs. In particular, the dynamic nature of topology and intermittent connectivity make maintaining the quality of service (QoS) task very difficult. To provide QoS to entertainment applications and traffic safety in VANET, we offer a routing protocol based on the adaptive intersection with QoS support regarding delay, packet delivery ratio (PDR), and connectivity probability. To establish the best QoS routes, we considered the equivalent routing problem as the optimization problem and then proposed an algorithm based on ant colony optimization (ACO) for solving it. Furthermore, a fuzzy logic-based algorithm was employed to select the best next-hop vehicle by incorporating multiple metrics associated with the vehicle&rsquo;s position, link quality, and vehicle mobility. According to the simulation results, the proposed approach achieves the average PDR of more than 84.2%, the end-to-end delay of less than 3.58 s, the overhead of less than 15.65%, and the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) of more than 20.82 dB. It is understandable from the result analysis that the performance of the proposed approach is excellent. Manuscript profile

The proposed method used the drivedb database, which includes the recording of physiological signals from 17 healthy volunteers while driving on specific routes on city streets and highways. A set of statistical and entropy features along with morphological features that were calculated only for the ECG signals, were used. The calculated features were applied as inputs to the classification units to detect stress levels. Support vector machine (SVM), k nearest neighbors (kNN) and decision tree (DT) were evaluated as classification methods. The main purpose of this study was to improve the accuracy of stress level detectionusing the idea of classifiers fusion. To achieve this goal, the combination of individual classification units, each of which used only the features of one of the ECG, EMG and GSR signals, was performed by the Demster-Shafer method. Using genetic algorithm as feature selection method, SVM classifier and Dempster-Shafer fusion strategy, the best stress detection accuracy of 96.9% was obtained. While the highest detection accuracy among individual classifiers was 75% and obtained by a subsystem that used ECG features.The results show significant performance of the proposed method compared to previous studies that used the same dataset.

        Taking advantage of advances in Nanotechnology, the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) has overcome many limitations that complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) had been confronted. Undesirable characteristics such as too many leakage currents limit the CMOS designs in nano dimensions. The idea of designing multiple-valued logic (MVL) systems rather than standard binary has gotten attractive to many designers. The application of MVL in the design of digital circuits offers so many advantages over traditional methods. D flip-flop is a primary sequential circuit in any register. In this paper, a novel quaternary D flip-flop based on introducing quaternary QCA (QQCA) is presented. The structure of our quaternary model is clarified. Also, we have proposed a 4-qubits register by utilizing the presented quaternary D flip-flop. Both circuits got simulated and evaluated by QCASim (quaternary edition). QCASim can illustrate the simulation result in a truth table and a waveform format. Our work got compared with other published works. The simulation results show that our proposed circuit is efficient in terms of latency and energy consumption. Manuscript profile

        Torsional torques on turbine-generator shaft which are yields of disturbances in power systems, can reduce the useful lifetime of shaft. In this paper, these oscillations will be damped and controlled by novel Power System Stabilizers (PSSs). Complex PSS which is used in this paper will act on the excitation system in generator set and also on the controller of in High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system. This PSS uses three terms (generator angle deviation, frequency oscillation and capacitor voltage deviation in HVDC system) of the study system which includes two ties AC and DC. This is the reason that this PSS is named novel one against the conventional PSSs. In order to adjust the PSS parameters to damp the oscillations, genetic algorithm is used. To improve the application of this PSS, fuzzy logic control methods are also used which has notable effect on controlling the oscillations in study system. The simulation results show the effectiveness of designed PSS in controlling the torsional torques in turbine-generator shaft. Manuscript profile

        Induction motors are critical components in many industrial processes. Therefore, swift, precise and reliable monitoring and fault detection systems are required to prevent any further damages. The online monitoring of induction motors has been becoming increasingly important. The main difficulty in this task is the lack of an accurate analytical model to describe a faulty motor. A fuzzy logic approach may help to diagnose traction motor faults. This paper presents a simple method for the detection of stator winding faults (which make up 38% of induction motor failures) based on monitoring the line/terminal current amplitudes. In this method, fuzzy logic is used to make decisions about the stator motor condition. In fact, fuzzy logic is reminiscent of human thinking processes and natural language enabling decisions to be made based on vague information. The motor condition is described using linguistic variables. Fuzzy subsets and the corresponding membership functions describe stator current amplitudes. A knowledge base, comprising rule and data bases, is built to support the fuzzy inference. Simulation results are presented to verify the accuracy of motor&rsquo;s fault detection and knowledge extraction feasibility. The preliminary results show that the proposed fuzzy approach can be used for accurate stator fault diagnosis. Manuscript profile

        Therefore, many empirical studies and actions have been taken to exploit the concept of sustainable development and its evaluation models. However, despite all these measures, the results from the progress towards sustainability have not been favorable. On the other hand, the first studies in the country indicate that there are major challenges in achieving sustainable tourism development, especially in the villages of tourism destination. In this research, it has been tried to investigate the environmental impact of the tourism on the village of Voshveh by a descriptive-analytical method, based on documentary library studies as well as field observations (distribution of the questionnaire and interview with the village council and tourists). The model of the ecological footprint model is estimated. The statistical population of this research is the number of tourists who visited Voshveh village in 2012. Considering that in the year 2012, 10,000 tourists entered the village, so using the Cochran formula, the sample size was estimated to be 350. The findings of this study indicate that the ecological footprints of tourism in the village of Wandshwa in food, transport, heating, water, electricity, and waste generation groups were 1.08 (per capita of each tourist) ha. Comparing this amount with its supporting environment indicates that tourism in the village of Wandshwa relies on an area beyond the village to meet its biological and environmental sustainability needs.

        Acquiring writing skills is more difficult compared to other three skills because writing skills require mastery of many different linguistic elements of the language that are beyond what is just taught in the standard curriculum. Therefore, EFL teachers should adopt effective strategies and techniques to develop the students&#039; proficiency to write well. This study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of genre-based instruction as a teaching strategy on the Iranian middle school students&#039; proficiency in argumentative writing. To do so, a mixed method design was adopted in which 40 EFL students were selected based on a multi stage sampling procedure form high schools in Varamin, Iran. A researcher-made writing test and a perception questionnaire were used to collect the quantitative data. Cronbach&#039;s alpha was used to check the internal consistency of the questionnaire. The participants were grouped into genre-based instruction class (GBIC) and control class (CC). Before they began the writing lessons, the students were given a pretest so their initial writing ability would be similar. After undergoing the 12-session treatment, they were given a writing assessment to gauge if the treatment had been effective. Additionally, the perception questionnaire was administered to collect data on students&#039; attitudes towards the genre-based instruction (GBI). This study also collected qualitative data through an interview and in-classroom observation. The experimental findings of this current study revealed that GBI had a significant effect on the development of argumentative writing ability among EFL students. Manuscript profile

The research population comprises all prisoners in Ramhormoz that a sample by volume of 70 individuals selected using an available sampling method. The findings of this research revealed that in the discussion of murders&rsquo; occurence place, the majority of murders occurred in secluded locations. Regarding gender, age, and marital status, it was found that most murders are commited by men and women fewer commited this crime, and unmarried individuals commit murder nearly twice as often as married individuals. Additionally, the highest rate of involvement in murder cases are in the age group pf 20-40. In education discussion, the educated individuals with university degree rarely commited murder and on the contrary, those with no education degree and particularly elementary education, are more likely to be involved. Low education and lack of university degree can be considered as influential factors in the occurrence of murders. Unemployment also emerges as a significant factor in the occurrence of murders that the highest number of murders committed by unemployed individuals and those who engaged in seasonal or temporary works . Thus, ethnic and tribal prejudices and the illicit transfer of weapons among clans, drug trafficking, unemployment and poverty are influential factors contributing to the occurrence of murders in Ramhormoz province.

This approach has been mostly influenced by Karl Gustav Jung's theories of the collective unconscious and archetypes, and is regarded as one of the most important approaches in contemporary literary criticism. The purpose of this study is to explore the dream of Yusuf (AS) with the help of this approach and discuss its archetypal angles. The main question in this study is whether the dream of Yusuf (AS) can be studied from the perspective of analytical psychology and the archetypal critique approach, as mentioned in the Qur'an or not; and whether it can be Interpreted and understood why they have been used or not. It is probable that the prostration of the sun and the moon and the stars have been derived from the central core of archeology that can be seen in mythology. If so, what this verse recounts, though it is a dream, reveals the collective spiritual truth of the people of the time of Yusuf (AS). Manuscript profile

        Lightweight concrete is one of the most important and efficient materials in the modern construction industry and has a variety of applications. Proper application of lightweight concrete can have many positive influences on the construction process of concrete structures. The possibility of application in the most geographical regions, utility of natural and cheap materials, high speed, low cost compared to the large volume of operations and its ductility due to the geometric shapes of the design, good performance and very high resistance, resistant to compressive forces and tensile strength, energy absorption and cracking stability are the prominent features of lightweight structural concretes. The main purpose of this research was to investigate the rheological and mechanical properties of the lightweight concrete containing different percentages of zeolite and polypropylene fiber separately. In this research, applying laboratory method, the rheological properties of fresh lightweight concrete (soft concrete) and the mechanical properties of hardened lightweight concrete at the ages of 7 and 28 days have been evaluated. According to ASTMC 39 standard, two samples of lightweight concrete without zeolite and polypropylene at the ages of 7 and 28 days have been prepared and mechanically evaluated. Then, in continuation of preparing of the light concrete samples prepared based on ASTMC 39 standard, three mixing designs with different percentages of polypropylene fibers (0.9, 1 and 1.1%) and 3 mixing designs with different percentages of zeolite (5, 10 and 15%) , at the mentioned ages were examined and compared with the base samples in the laboratory, which resulted in the following findings: Lightweight concrete samples containing zeolite had a higher electrical resistance than lightweight concrete samples containing polypropylene and the highest compressive strength was related to lightweight concrete samples containing 15% zeolite. This is equivalent to 400.75 kg / cm3 at the age of 28 days. Manuscript profile

        &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Previous studies has shown that reinforced self-compacting concrete with fiber is more suitable for structural performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Metkaolin and alkali resistant glass fibers on the performance of self-compacting concrete. In this study, the rheological properties (L-Box, Slump flow, T50) and mechanical properties (compressive strength, tensile and flexural strength), and durability (chloride ion penetration and water absorption) have been investigated. The results of the experiments showed that by increasing the amount of fiber, the concrete performance decreases. It was also found that the glass fiber had no positive effect on the compressive strength of the concrete. The tensile and flexural strength of self-compacting reinforced concrete increases with increasing fiber content. Durability studies have shown that the presence of glass fiber initially increases the resistance to chloride ion penetration and then reduces it, and also increases the gradual absorption of concrete water. The results of the experiments showed that the simultaneous presence of Metkaolin and glass fibers with optimal percentages can significantly improve the mechanical properties and durability of self-compacting concrete Manuscript profile

        With the use of pozzolans and additives, today, a huge change has been made in mortar technology to achieve high strength and durability. The purpose of this study is to make two-component and three- component mortars and compare their rheological and mechanical properties. In this research, compressive, flexural and tensile strength tests were performed on reference mortar, two-component mortars as well as three-component mortars. Slag utilized in making of research mortars was produced in Ahvaz Steel plant. Compressive strength tests were conducted at 7, 28, 56 and 91 days and flexural and tensile strength tests were performed at 28 and 91 days. In the mentioned resistance tests, cubic specimens with dimensions of 50 mm, prismatic specimens with dimensions of 160 &times; 40 &times; 40 mm and standard bow-tie specimens were applied, respectively. The results presented that the replacement of microsilica up to 10% by weight of cement increased the compressive, flexural and tensile strengths of two-component mortars, which were significant at all ages compared to the sample without microsilica. With increasing cement substitute microsilica up to 15%, changes in compressive, flexural and tensile strengths follow an inverse nonlinear behavior. Optimal microsilica and slag replacement percentages of 5% and 10%, respectively, increased the three strengths in the three-component mortars, which are significant at all ages compared to the reference sample. With increasing the percentage of replaced microsilica, the flowability of the mortars decreased and with increasing the percentage of slag, the flow increased. Manuscript profile

        In the modern characteristics of concrete design based on daily needs, the use of recycled materials is an important and basic principle. Therefore, in the present study, PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) has been substituted for fine aggregates in self-compacting concrete. The aim of this study is to produce and optimize the mechanical and rheological properties of environmentally friendly self-compacting concretes. Input variables in the mixtures include (PET) as a substitute for a percentage of fine aggregates, steel fibers, powder stone as a substitute for a percentage of cement weight, and lubricant as a percentage of powder material weight. The studied responses are slump flow, L-box ratio (H2 / H1), compressive and tensile strengths. Mixing schemes were designed and studied using the Central Composite Design (CCD) method, which is one of the RSM (Response Surface Methodology) methods. The results demonstrated that with increasing PET, the rheological and mechanical properties of the mixtures decreased while the fibers effectively improved the reduction of strengths. Applying mathematical models provided by ANOVA, multi-objective optimizations were performed to maximize compressive strength by the RSM method and an optimal mixing scheme based on experimental results was proposed.

        The spread of the corona virus has caused the closure of face-to-face education and the forced transition of the country&#039;s education system to virtual education. After two years, when virtual education has gradually ended and face-to-face education has been established, it is necessary to study the challenges and problems of virtual education from the perspective of teachers as the main pillar of education. This research has been done with the aim of studying the challenges of virtual education and evaluating teachers of this style of education. This study was conducted in the framework of a qualitative approach and with the phenomenological method, in which data was collected using a semi-structured interview. The interviewees were 12 elementary school teachers in Tehran who were selected through purposive sampling and the interviews were continued until theoretical saturation was reached. The findings of the research showed that teachers&#039; perception of the challenges of virtual education includes 4 main themes and 19 sub-themes, which main themes include material and technological challenges, challenges of education governance, challenges of the hidden elements of education, and challenges of the teacher training system.

        This study was done to investigate influential factors in developing vocational and skill virtual education approach from the point of views of teachers and principals of vocational and technical high schools of Mazandaran. In this study based on constructional learning theory and Charies Wedemeyer theory on developing virtual vocational and skill education, factors affecting vocational and skill virtual education development in technological, cultural-social, pedagogical, economic and strategic aspects were identified and ranked by the use of Delphi method. The statistical population of the study was all teachers and principals in vocational and technical high schools in academic year of 2009-2010. A group of 35 teachers and 27 principals as members of panel were selected through step-wise clustering with respect to the research method. Two kinds of questionnaire for the students and the principals were prepared to explore developmental factors based on likert scale. The questionnaires were distributed in 3 stages. The reliability coefficient or Cronbach Alpha in all approaches was higher than 0.86. In the first and second stages of questionnaire distribution, the mean and Kendall&rsquo;s coefficient of concordance of developmental factors were calculated. Then propositions which were larger than 4 and kendall&rsquo;s coefficient larger than 0.5 were considered in the third stage. The data collected from the questionnaires in the third stage were used as responses to research questions. Friedman test and U Mann-Whitney test were used to analyze data. The main results are listed below: From teacher's point of view, social-cultural, technological, economic, pedagogic and strategic approaches were given priorities respectively. From the principal's point of view, technological, social-cultural, economic, strategic and pedagogic approaches were given priorities respectively. Finally, there was no meaningful difference in the mean of technological, social- cultural, pedagogical, economic and strategic approaches between the teachers and managers viewpoints.

        Evaluation has always been a time- consuming, expensive and important process in educational systems. In addition, reliable outcome cannot be achieved unless we use appropriate criteria. In this research, a system using Fuzzy logic criteria was proposed for the evaluation of faculty members' teaching performance. Fuzzy logic is considered as a modern method of inference which is used for different purposes as a powerful instrument when combined with computer. In this research, we first gathered required information from experienced faculty members and those with enough information about new educational technology. Then, efficient methods of teaching mathematics at undergraduate level as the case study have been studied and analyzed using new methods and Fuzzy logic. Finally, with the help of the researches done, a Fuzzy system for educational evaluation was designed and was applied with MATLAB software. The results of the evaluation showed that using the proposed system (in this case study) more efficient evaluation on faculty members' teaching performance would be possible. Also, they can increase and improve the productivity of teaching procedures using this system. Furthermore, this research showed that evaluation errors would decrease using Fuzzy inference.

        The high consumption of mayonnaise and its improper maintenance procedures cause that the use of natural essence in mayonnaise becomes important. In this research, the effects of different concentrations of essential oils of marjoram on physicochemical, microbiological and sensitive characterization of mayonnaise were investigated. The influence of three different concentrations of Marjoram essential oil (100,150, 200 and 250 ppm), two different temperatures (4 and 15 &deg;C) and storage times (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) months were examined. The obtained results from microbial experiments (Total count of microorganisms, mold and yeast,&nbsp;Salmonella, Coliform,&nbsp;Staphylococcus aureus&nbsp;and Lactic acid bacteria), chemical experiments (Peroxide, Thiobarbituric index, pH and acidity) and sensitivity analysis were evaluated based on fully factorial experiment design and the Duncan test. The results indicated that by increasing the concentration of Marjoram essential oil, the index changes of chemical tests decreased in all of times storage. The maximum effect of Marjoram essential oil on mayonnaise for preventing deterioration of mayonnaise was at the storage temperature of 4&nbsp;oC. The Marjoram essential oil having 200 ppm at the temperature of 4&nbsp;oC had the maximum effect for the preventing mayonnaise deterioration. Also, the experimental results that, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of mayonnaise were kept suitably. Therefore, the best optimal strategy of mayonnaise production is in these conditions. Manuscript profile

        Due to the increasing demand for the high quality of meat products, long shelf life, and minimum processing, therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the two standard strains Lactobacillus delbrukii subspp delbrukii )PTCC 1333( and Lactobacillus fermentum (PTCC 1744) on the most common isolated bacteria from meat. In this study, 50 meat samples including red meat, minced meat, and fish were purchased from different areas of Shiraz city. The samples were transferred to the lab and cultivated in Nutrient Broth as well as blood agar. Then the isolates were purified and the most common isolates identified using biochemical tests. The inhibitory activity of the two strains lactobacillus supernatant against the most common isolates was investigated by the good diffusion agar method. As well as to prevent the inhibitory effects of organic acids and H2O2, the supernatant was treated with sodium hydroxide and catalase enzyme. Finally, the most common isolates were identified by PCR molecular technique. Common bacteria were reported by the molecular test as Escherichia coli (16.6%), Enterobacter cloacae (16.6%), Hafnia alvei (50%), and Aeromonas salmonicida (16.6%). The greatest effect of lactic acid bacteria on Escherichia coli, Hafnia alvei, and Aeromonas salmonicida was observed. Among the two standard strains of lactobacillus, Lactobacillus delbrukii has a greater effect on isolated bacteria. The supernatant of the two lactobacilli, without neutralizing with Sodium Hydroxide and catalase, had antimicrobial activity against the most common isolates. Manuscript profile

        The existence of different species of Enterococcus, which have a significant effect on the technological characteristics of cheese, particularly its flavor, has been established in milk and dairy products. This study aimed to explore some of the most significant technological features of Iranian Motal cheese-derived Enterococcus isolates with probiotic characteristics. For this, first the growth rates of Enterococcus isolates at 25, 30, 37, and 43 &deg;C were measured, and their ability for acidification was then assessed by measuring pH and acidity by incubation at the optimal temperature for zero, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Subsequently, enzymatic aspects related to technological features including proteolytic and amylolytic activity as well as diacetyl production were evaluated. The results showed that the growth rates of 3TB and 7KB strains belonging to E. durans and E. faecium were greater at 30 &deg;C and that other isolates had the maximum growth rates at 43 &deg;C. Beginning with the fourth hour of incubation, the examined enterococci significantly decreased pH and increased acidity so that, all of the isolates were able to coagulate milk within 72 hours of incubation at the proper growth temperature, with the exception of the 3TB and 7KB strains. It was also observed that isolates 5C, 1D and 3B had all three desired technological characteristics. Overall, examined isolates, particularly the 5C, 1D, and 3B strains, can be employed as an adjunct culture for the manufacture of fermented dairy products such as various cheese types due to their appropriate technological properties.

        Background &amp; Aim: Piper genus comprises more than 2000 species, mainly found in Asia and Africa. About 40 species are mentioned in the literature and only a small proportion of these species have been studied in depth. The aim of this review is to present data on the traditional uses, biological activities and the chemical composition of different Piper species.Experimental: Several databases like PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct, DOAJ, etc.), were used for the search. The term Piper or the scientific names of different species or the combination of terms such as biological activity, phytochemistry and uses with the scientific names or the word "Piper" were used as keywords in the literature search.Results: Species of the genus are of great economic value as they can be used in various sectors such as food, traditional medicine, in the control of certain infectious diseases, crop pest control or in the pharmaceutical industry. Some species are considered a significant source of essential oils. About 400 chemical compounds have been isolated from Piper species, and the alkaloids are the most important group of secondary metabolites; and piperine is the main active alkaloid reported. Moreover, the literature indicates that these species present several biological properties like anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiplasmodial, analgesic, immunomudatory, antitumour, insecticide, larvicide, amoebicide, antiviral, etc.Recommended applications/industries: The species from Piper genus can be widely used both as a condiment and as medicines to relieve several health problems. However, further studies should be carried out to justify the uses of the less scientifically explored species of Piper genus, and to determine the mechanisms of action or the pharmacokinetics of the active principles already identified and probable synergies between the alkaloids and other chemical groups to evaluate the digestibility and toxicity of extracts from these species.

        Background &amp; Aim: Garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) is anannual herbaceous species native to Egypt and south west Asia. The leaves of L. sativum possesse various medicinal properties. This study was conducted to evaluate the diversity of phytochemical constituents of seven populations of L. Sativum from Iran.Experimental: The crude extracts of L. sativum populations leaves were obtained with methanol and were evaluated for the total phenol content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity using DPPH radical scavenging assay, and phenolic compounds by HPLC analysis.Results: The total phenolic content ranged from 1.25 to 2.36 mg GAE/g extract and the total flavonoid content was 0.74- 1.61 mg QE/g extract. Chlorogenic acid was the most abundant phenolic acid, followed by ferulic and caffeic acids. The content of kaempferol flavonoid was also 5.2-fold of quercetin. Leaf extracts of Tabriz and Kerman populations exhibited higher yields of phenolic constituents and antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content was positively correlated to total flavonoid content and phenolic acids (except caffeic acid) and negatively correlated to DPPH free radical scavenging activity (IC50). A negative correlation was found among total flavonoid content, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid with precipitation and relative humidity.Recommended applications/industries: Our research is the first report to study the phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activity in different Iranian populations of L. sativum leaves for their health benefit.

        Abstract ISIS group as a new demonstration of extremist fundamentalism has committed numerous crimes in Iraq, Syria and other countries under the pretext of reviving Islamic Caliphate. The ISIS as an effective actor in international relations and has played an increasing role in current international arena. Therefore, the question is whether various international theories can explain the motives, objectives, method and behavior of this terrorist group? The finding of the study shows that the behavior of extremist religious group are not based on a logical or rationality model, therefore, it is not easy to understand, control or manage them. On the other hand their behavioral rules are not in accordance with most basic assumption of international relations theories. Thus none of the mainstream and midstream theories can comprehensively analyze their behavior. Nevertheless, concepts from constructivist analytical framework with a view to sociological, normative, identity and cultural factors with emphasis on the role of discourses can provide a better ground for analyzing the identity-ideological groups. The present article by taking the help of factors that strengthen the collective identity shows that historical humiliation, disillusionment and fear of discontinuity of their identity, hostile surrounding community and operating material atmosphere have led to extremely violent behavior by ISIS group.

        It has long been argued that the controversy of identity is one of the main sources of crisis in the Middle East and international politics. That is, the existence of differences in the identity of the countries causes tension between them, while the convergence and similarity can lead to cooperation. Nevertheless, empirical evidence from the Middle East has long defied this hypothesis. The present study seeks to answer the question why does Saudi Arabia, who claims to be the leader of the Islamic world, has repeatedly opposed the rise of Islamist movements in the Middle East? The research hypothesis implies that, In the case of Saudi foreign policy, similarity became particularly threatening as the distinctiveness of the Saudi identity was challenged and identity similarity is as a source of conflict. To address this paradox, this article builds on the growing literature on ontological security to explaining how similarity can generate Tension, insecurity and identity risks. The article follows with a comparison of Saudi identity risks in the wake of the Iranian revolution (1979) and the ascendance of the Muslim Brotherhood to power in Egypt (2012). Manuscript profile

        The increasing spread of social gaps in the heterogeneous society of Israel and casting doubts on identity symbols of Zionism have challenged the ontological security of this regime. By applying racial discrimination policies, Zionism has faced social elements with structural separation, it has reduced the desires of social forces to support this regime. Assuming various gaps in Israel and with a descriptive-analytical method, the present article answers the question, in Constructivism theoretical framework, that what is the role of identity crisis in formation of the Israelite ontological insecurity? According to the findings, inability to resolve the problems and gaps resulting from internal, have led to make the structure of this regime security-oriented. The formation of this securitized environment along with the use of violence emanating from the Zionist ideology has caused Israel to have a strong tendency to belligerence in such a way that threats and tension have become a part of the ontological security of this government, and the efforts to security been included in Israel's foreign policy. Solving the crisis of ontological insecurity requires a change in the rigid Zionist approach to a soft approach, as well as going through the process of making the government non-security-oriented.

        America's national missile denfence is subject to technological capacities and manpower potentials of this country. The security crises can be accounted as a complement to the technological means if the international system is in a chaotic status. The investigation of America's strategic behavior based on technological components in strategic denfence domain is the major focus of this study. The concept of National Missile Defence was proposed for the first time in early s. President Ronald Regan believed in absolute restraining policy towards the USSR which provided the instruments and technology needed for confronting its strategic threats against Europe, USA, and the Western World. This approach paved the way for the development of Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI). George Schultz, America's foreign minister during , was one of the prominent pioneering features regarding this strategy. America's defence program was generated in the s when the conservative parties, gradually, consolidated their position within the American power structure and the chance for reconstruction and restitution of cold-war defence plans was created. These people believed that the military power is among those instruments that can not be disregarded in international politics. This power-centered approach affected the America's strategic perception and attitude one more time. This study emphasizes the role of conservative strategists, on the one hand, who have adjusted their denfence programs in line with international threats, and on the other hand, have expressed their pessimistic views towards Iran and regarded this country as a factor of instability in the domain of international politics. In this way, US denfence program became two-edged that stood against strategic and security targets of Iran and also played an inhibiting role against Russia's further power-seeking efforts. In this situation, the theme of missile defence was reconsidered in the America's strategic planner's agenda. The new title was National Missile Defence which represents that US strategic goals remained fixed but its addressees changed. Manuscript profile

        Abstract After the occurrence of the Islamic revolution, foreign relations of Islamic Republic of Iran underwent several changes and new variables emerged which on its turn led to changes in foreign relations and determined the nature and kind of relations in different period. In fact different national objectives and roles in several periods led to different orientation and consequently different foreign relations in the first to fourth period. Now the basic question which arises here is; what variables put the most impact on national objectives and roles in first to fourth period and as a result formation of different foreign relations? The structure of international system, domestic needs, the perception, attitude of decision makers and geopolitics are four important variables that have defined the national objectives and roles during first to fourth period and as a result led to formation of different dimension for foreign relations. The factors that have led to the formation of different foreign relations in four periods depend on the weight of the four mentioned variables. The methodology used in the study is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library, documents and internet sources. Manuscript profile

        Every country can refer one&rsquo;s own dispute with another country to international court of Justice. Neither international nor the legal proceedings of the court have any regulation to restrict the non-members of the court to refer their dispute to the court. Acceptance of the jurisdiction of the court by members of the court is defined in article 36 of constitution and the events and circumstances described in it. The examination of the behavior of the court in cases that resort to force had taken place shows that the court as a legal organ has tried to obtain its jurisdiction within the framework of declarations and efforts and studies the legal aspect of each issue or international dispute including resort to force. Although on this issue, many jurists disagree and are of the view that resort to force can be politically interpreted and the court should not have absolute authority to examine the cases. The International Court of Justice otherwise have obligatory jurisdiction on cases which compulsory international norms (jus cogens) are violated and the court on cases that the sovereignty of a member of the United Nations is violated by another member can declare the aggressor as responsible and the latter must compensate the loss. In the case of Iran-Iraq war enormous damage were inflicted on eco system as well as human beings and these losses have so far not been compensated. Present article by referring to norms of international law wants to find out the possibility of demanding ecological compensation by suing a case in International Court of Justice Manuscript profile

        Cultural capacity making is a permanent process for helping people, organizations and cultural and political association for elevating and adapting with useful changes and effective countering with unhelpful changes of cultural and political atmosphere. The result of this process can be obtained from mission, special objectives, sources, texts and durability. The aim of this process is first answering the internal weakness of cultural and political organizations and strengthening the existing potentials, secondly, assistance to cultural and political sections for coordination with quick environmental changes. Therefore, attaining these targets facilitate the input feeding for interested groups who are general members of a culture and as a result cultural and political development takes place. The present article by a descriptive-analytical method examines the concept of cultural and political development. The examination of the role of cultural capacity making is done within four important aspects of cultural-political development. These four aspects are as follows: a) development of religious ideological base, b) development of cultural and political capital, C) development of cultural and political thought, d) institutional cultural and political development.

        Abstract: Iran and Saudi Arabia are two prominent countries in the Islamic World. They play important role in the Middle East region&rsquo;s developments. The present article examines the developments of the three countries of Iraq, Bahrain and Yemen as the sphere of influence of Iran and Saudi Arabia to find out the root cause competition and rivalry between the two governments and give suggestion for solving the problem. The aim of the present study is to show that the nature of the conflict between the two countries has roots in ideological consideration which originates from the prevalence of contrasting ideological and value system which has led to wide gulf between Iran and Saudi Arabia and strained regional relations. It seems that any attempt to strengthen the grounds of cooperation and interaction and attenuating the tension between the two depends on change in semantic structure of the two governments and flexibility on both sides.

The developments of high technologies have led to change in dimension, sphere, forms and mechanism of power in international scene.

Taking into consideration West&rsquo;s technological sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran; the present article wants to answer this question that how technological diplomacy of Iran can provide the security and defense needs of the country? It seems that for obtaining defense related technologies; the country has to know the international limitations on the way of procuring technical needs.

        A slum is a physical space that, with respect to multiple dimensions, is &nbsp;at a lower level than the average urban regions of the city. Slum-dwelling has created many problems for the country because it causes a spatial imbalance in the distribution of population. Therefore, the present study seeks to answer these basic questions: What factors affect slum-dwelling and what are the consequences of it? In order to answer these questions and also to design a model of factors affecting slum-dwelling in Iran during the years 2009-2010, the meta-combined approach has been used, which is a type of qualitative research method and in which the integration of various studies is used to create comprehensive findings. In the present study, the seven-step method of Barroso and Sandlowski has been used and out of 100 articles that were evaluated, 20 articles were chosen for final review. The results showed that the influencing factors were generally divided into two groups of structural factors and non-structural factors, and its consequences and harms can be cultural-social, physical, economic, health and environmental damage, political and psychological damages.

        One of the main subjects that immigrants in metropolitan areas are involved with is the social and cultural adjustment to the target country and how they come along with their culture. Many studies have been done in this field. The aim of this study was to investigate what factors influence immigrants&rsquo; social and cultural adjustment in urban environments of Iran using a meta-analysis method. The theoretical framework of the research was provided through an integration of views concerning socio-cultural and psychological adjustment. Text-content analysis of documentary research method was used to collect that data. The research population of the study consisted of &nbsp;research papers published in scientific journals in Iran for a period of 22 years from 1999 to 2022, which were related to the social and cultural adjustment of immigrants; of which 25 studies were analyzed from the indexed scientific databases of Jihad Daneshgahi, specialized journals of NoorMags and the database of the country's publications. The data collection technique was a reverse questionnaire and the evaluators&rsquo; questions in the questionnaire. Statistical analysis were performed using CMA2 statistical software. To analyze the obtained data, a brief description of the studies and their characteristics was elaborated at first. In the analytical part, first, the statistical presuppositions of expectation bias and homogeneity of the studies were evaluated and then the hypotheses were examined. The results showed that five sets of factors including social, economic, cultural, demographic, and psychological were identified, each of which was studied using several variables. The confidence interval reported by this set of factors ranged from the confidence interval (-0.039 and 0.215) which is related to economic factors to the high confidence interval, scope (0.275 to 0.614) as well as the positive value of Z2 number. There is a direct and positive relationship between the components of various factors and the socio-cultural adaptation of immigrants. It can be concluded that demographic factors with an impact factor of 0.510 have the highest impact and psychological factors with a minimum level of impact factor with a value of 0.293 have the least impact on the process of social and cultural adjustment of immigrants. Besides, all factors with at least 95% Confidence Interval have a positive effect on immigrants&rsquo; social and cultural adjustment.&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The literature on urban entrepreneurship tends to emphasize sociological attributes. This approach reveals considerable insight into how and why entrepreneurial activities emerge, yet much unanswered questions remain about psychological characteristics that are found at the individual-level. Given this theoretical gap in urban entrepreneurship literature, the present study has investigated the effects of two intangible assets- psychological and social aspects- on the success of entrepreneurs. Social capital consists of three dimensions including structural, cognitive and relational that are derived from Nahapiet &amp; Ghoshal (1998) and psychological capital is measured by Luthans et al (2007)&rsquo;s theory. Entrepreneurial success is tested using a measurement presented by Gorgievski et al (2011) and encompassed both the financial and non-financial parameters. This study has been done on the businesses that are supported by Tehran Municipality. Based on cluster sampling, three clusters randomly were selected from 22 districts of Tehran. A structural equation modeling procedure is applied to the examination of the influences of variables and the research model was tested empirically using a sample of 110 respondents. The results showed that both social capital and psychological capital affected entrepreneurial success and also the mediating role of social capital was confirmed. These results suggest that urban policy makers and municipalities should focus on improving entrepreneurs&rsquo; psychological capital, particularly the aspects of hope, self-efficacy and optimism. However, the aspect of psychological capital (resiliency) should not be ignored. Manuscript profile

        .The decision-making and policy-making of managers and urban planners towards sustainable urban development is one of the most important policies for sustainable urban tourism.The aim of this study is to sociologically analyze the effects of the tourism industry on the urban development of the city of Qazvin. The research method is descriptive and analytical and the theoretical framework consists of sustainable tourism development and good governance .Using multivariate regression statistics and the S.W.O.T. technique, data were collected from 140 Nowruz tourists and 120 managers of hotels, accommodating centers, etc. The research tool had face validity and its reliability coefficient was 0.70. The results showed that the highest effective average in terms of stakeholders in the dimension of&nbsp; strengths included People's agreement with the development of tourism (4.83), life satisfaction in the city (4.09) , increase in tourism revenue ( 3.80). In terms of opportunities, the results pointed to&nbsp; Potentials for and variety of jobs in the city (4.64) , historical attractions (4.23) and active presence of women in tourism jobs (4). Weakness included lack of access and quality of accommodating centers (3.8) and (3.5), respectively, inadequate facilities needed by tourists (3.45) . Threats consisted of lack of coherent tourism planning in the city (3.63), lack of tourism investment in the city (3.58), change of use of Qazvin traditional garden (2.79). In the views of tourists, the highest effective average in terms of strengths included diversity of tourism landscapes (4.08), sense of security (4.05), climate cleanliness (4.04). Opportunities included multiple potentials (4.28), recommendations&nbsp; of friends (4.20), motivation to visit again (4.14). Weakness consisted of Inadequate quality of accommodation centers (3.20), crowdedness of historical places (3.16), lack of access to information (3.19). Threats included lack of proper use of resources (3.03), incoherence of tourism management (3), lack of tourism investment (2.58). Therefore, empowering the government through social and cultural initiatives in tourism with a focus on cultural and creative industries is recommended.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Ideological stylistics of religious texts is a significant point, helping critics to know the text much more and revealing a set of seemingly hidden points on the ideological approach of the text. Its aim is to uncover the function of ideology, and its limits within the text, that is, in which ideological frame the text is located, and how much it is deconstructing that frame, or how much it is following or disobeying it. In the present research, studying the poems of three outstanding Ashurayi poetry, we have shown how much they have been loyal to the Islamic ideology, or they have reached the rubrics of the frame, and also considering their poetic innovations and ideological conceptualizations in the poems. In sum, we concluded that Ali Moallem Damqani is a traditional poet who sometimes reaches to the rubrics to develop his poems, producing different conceptualizations from the ideology. Ali Musavi Garmarudi, a poet who appraises the art and the beauty of his poetic devices more than the other poets, while less loyal to the religious tradition. Beside these two, Tahere Saffarzade is a poet who uses very cautiously of religious ideological concepts, and puts the ideology and content in relation to form in prior. Manuscript profile

        In this study, the quantitative zoning is used to identify areas suitable for artificial recharge in the mountainous area of Gohar and Garbayegan plain, Fars province fitting a linear fundamental form to the surface. The structures with grade two for triplex windows and the data from the digital elevation model with a resolution of 10 m was used to determine the best fitable fundamental structure. The sum of square differences of the surface differences is used as an indicator to determine the degree of fitting the fundamental structures. By fitting the interpretable patterns to the Earth's surface it can be determined that the earth was similar to what pattern and formation mechanism. Mountain ranges upstream alluvial cones and plains located downstream of the upstream alluvial cones are not linear levels. Places which are not at the acceptable slope (gradient less than 0.002 and higher than 0.1) allocated to the zero fitting degrees and the fitting degree values are positive in alluvial cones and areas fall in the acceptable range of the slope. The results show that the surfaces located downstream of the alluvial cones and the plains are most suitable areas for floodwater spreading in the Garbayegan watershedIn this study, the quantitative zoning is used to identify areas suitable for artificial recharge in the mountainous area of Gohar and Garbayegan plain, Fars province fitting a linear fundamental form to the surface.

        Considering the ever-increasing progress of various technologies and their importance for the survival and international competition of companies in various industries, it is very important to formulate and implement the correct and appropriate strategies of each organization according to its special technological capacities and capabilities. This study aims to identify the technological innovation components of the organization and examine their role in the strategic position of the organization. For the present study, quantitative research method (questionnaire) and interview tool were used in order to extract part of the required information. The statistical community of the research is the Esfahan&#039;s Mobarakeh Steel Company, and the experimental data were analyzed using structural equation modeling by Lisrel software. The results of this research show that there are positive and significant relationships between the components of technological innovation and the strategic position of the organization. In other words, for policymaking and improvement of technological innovation factors in organizations, appropriate strategies can be used for each of them. Therefore, in order to gain a superior competitive position, Esfahan&#039;s Mobarakeh Steel Complex must apply the factors of technological innovation at the same time using the right and appropriate strategies and be innovative and progressive. Also, a model was presented to investigate the relationship between the components, which was confirmed according to the research results. Based on the findings of this research, the output factors of technological innovation have the least effect on the cost strategy of this company compared to other components. Manuscript profile

Naserkhosro was living in this time and atmosphere in which philosophy and religion were against each other. In spite of familiarity with philosophy, he had a tendency towards a kind of theologythat was very near to the Esmaili's teachings. Conflict and struggle between religious people and philosophers made Naserkhosro depressed; therefore, he tried to combine religious and philosophical problems with each other and talked to each group with its own terminologies. With religious people he used verses of Quran and prophet's statements and with philosophers he used logical reasoning. In this article some philosophical terms in Naserkhosro's Divan have been investigated especially general philosophy which includes logic and theology Manuscript profile

        The theory of the logic of dialogue or the logic of conversation in the twentieth century was proposed in contrast to Saussure's structural linguistics and cognitive style. On the one hand, Mikhail Bakhtin in the protest of single voice of Stalin&rsquo;s regime and on the other hand, the&nbsp;&nbsp; opposition of the theory of individualism and non- socialism of language that was dominant before him in the criticism domain, he&nbsp; proposed the &nbsp;theory of multiple voices and dialogue-centerd language of literature and art. Since Bakhtin considersthe dialogue-centered approach in the essence of art, this theory is used in reading of different works literature and art at present time. Given that the logic of conversation coming from the mono-voice, anti-dogmatic, and anti-happiness community, in this study one of the darkest periods of social and literary life in Iran after the Mongol invasions has been considered.in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the social structure dialogue-centered method of&nbsp;&nbsp; authors, two prose works of Golestan and Qaboosnamh have been concidered that one of them relates to the pre-Mongol period and the other one belongs to&nbsp; Mongol conquest, are selected. In spite of the facts that both works are equal with respect to contents and didactic points Onsorolmali&rsquo;s approach is different from Saadi&lsquo;s apporoch&nbsp; from dialogue components point of view. Therefore, this paper aims to study the logic of conversation in theses two written works of Persian literature.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Saadi is a poet who gives reasons. His verses in the lyrics are very close to the logical proposition that both contain imaginative elements and the stability of words. One of the ways of creating artistic images and establishing logical ground in lyrics is the style of equation. Saadi in this field was very skillful and by using this technique made his lyrics more artistic and logic. The style of equitation is the subdivision of simile that by combining with allegory led verses to a comprehensible and bright imagination. It talks about common experiences. It joins the mental images of poet with outer images in our world. Saadi by means of allegory smile and its technical subdivision, the style of equation, has composed poetry sometimes in the form of single couplets or quatrains. By proper understanding of brevity, Saadi has used couplets within the framework of style of equation. These couplets are taken from Iranian social fields to demonstrate actual experiences of Iranians with utmost brevity. This causes lyric to be imaginative as well as logical and geometric. Saadi with awareness of his addressees' spirits and psyches, and by means of the style of equation has showed popular philosophy, human tangible experiences, popular sayings, stores, religious and non-religious mythology, and then combined them with mystical and lovely messages.

        One of the methods that identify the state of Iran's common bee mass was to study the apparent characteristics and its relationship with other races of the world. Morphological studies or in other words measuring and comparing the appearance of honey bees as one of the means of identifying and distinguishing between bee species and races. In the study of the honeybee body, morphology can be divided into two parts of the internal and external body and the honey bees into three parts of the head, chest and abdomen. This study was conducted in June 2016 by studying the morphology of worker, queen and male bees from 6 groups of Zagros apiary in Ilam province. From each group 30 bees and from each gender (Male &amp; Female) 10 bees of bee hives was obtained for instance in Petri plate in 70% alcohol solution. The results of the analysis of the morphological characteristics of the organs in the specimens showed that all the groups were of a race and there was no difference in the description of the anatomy.

        In the present study, the effects of releasing weight on reared silver carp's growth and survival, as well as, its hematological indices were assessed. For this purpose, first eight 3-hectares ponds were divided into four treatments based on fishes' releasing weight equal to 2, 3, 4 and 5 g, then sampling from these animals was periodically done and the hematological indices were measured. At the end of the trial, the average weight of fishes (g) and total production of each pool (kg) was calculated. The results of the measurement of blood parameters indicated that the hematocrit percent was significantly increased following the releasing weight enhancement (P&lt;0.05), but any statistical relationship was seen between the stocking weight and other blood indices (P&gt;0.05). Furthermore, the growth and survival findings signified, whereas after releasing the weight of fishes, their final weight and growth rate were enhanced, the special growth rate was reduced statistically (P&lt;0.05). Hence, based on present results, it will be achieved proper growth whenever silver carps are stocked 12000 individuals with 5 g weight. Manuscript profile

        In this study esophagus during development has been investigated in prenatal and postnatal periods of the one-humped camel. The aim of this study, the investigation of the esophageal histological wall construction in camel during gestation period and after that in comparative with the esophageal histological development in other the domestic animals. For histogenesis study of esophagus in one-humped camel, 20 fetuses, around 86 days to 13 months, were chosen. Then, after the age calculating, the fetuses were stored in 10% buffer formalin and provided sections with 5 &micro; thickness of all the esophagus portions (cervical, thoracic and abdominal) and were stained by hematoxylin &amp; eosin and periodic acid Schiff methods. According to the observed histological changes; developmental periods of the esophagus were divided into the three stages: the first stage (5-13 cm, 86- 110 days of pregnancy), the second stage (13-16 cm, 110-119 days of pregnancy) and the third stage (35-40 cm, 175-190 days of pregnancy). At 110 days of pregnancy, the epithelium was changed to the stratified squamous epithelium. At 119 days of pregnancy, the formation of primary stages glands tubes and neural ganglions in the esophagus were observed. At 175 days of pregnancy, in abdominal part of esophagus, thin and dispersed muscularis mucosa was observed in the connective tissue under the epithelium. The study observations revealed that the histological esophagus wall evolution, according to the gestation period in one-humped camel are less precocious than the domestic ruminants.

        One of the most important natural hazards is floods, which will cause a lot of damage if they occur. One of the most important ways to deal with this natural hazard is to zoning the flood potential. The present study was conducted with the aim of zoning the risk of floods in Fariman city with emphasis on urban and rural areas in 1399. This type of research is an applied type in which fuzzy logic, hierarchical analysis and GIS software are used. The eight criteria studied in this paper include slope, distance from the river, altitude, geology, land use, rainfall, drainage density and vegetation. Based on the results obtained from the combination of layers by fuzzy overlap method and the final weight obtained from the fuzzy hierarchy analysis model, in which the height variable with a weight coefficient of 0.271 is the highest and land use with a coefficient of 0.040 has the lowest impact on flooding. The study area has. Therefore, according to the flood risk classification map of Fariman city, it can be stated that very high risk areas 17.8%, high risk areas 14.2%, medium risk areas 20.4%, low risk areas 22.5% and areas with high risk Occupies very little risk with 25.1% of the city area; It should also be noted that the city of Freeman is in a very low danger zone. In terms of rural settlements, most of the settlements in this city are in the zone of moderate vulnerability. Therefore, it is suggested that the necessary attention be paid to the improvement, design and implementation of watershed and aquifer management projects and the location of new cities and towns, as well as rural development projects in the study area. Planners and decision makers should also take the necessary action to reduce the risk of proper location of infrastructure and location of city facilities. Manuscript profile

        Today, urban society is facing many problems, including environmental issues. Behshahr city has also been created due to population change and increase in construction with many environmental issues such as: change and destruction of natural lands, reduction of green areas, fragmentation of land uses, etc. Based on the purpose of this study, the ecological change of Behshahr city in order to provide solutions for ecological configuration of the landscape (landscape) and the promotion of environmental radiation, using the principles of the landscape with the Forman mosaic model (spots, corridors and matrices) and Pathology is one of the structural elements of the landscape. For this purpose, first the elements of the ecological structure of the city were detected using satellite images of 1986 and 2020, then the changes of these elements were analyzed by 5 metric landscape (MNN, LSI, MPS, LPI, NP) in Fragstats program and in The pathology of these elements was continued by analyzing natural and artificial spots and corridors of the city. Finally, by zoning the degree of ecological continuity (vegetation) in Arc GIS software, solutions were provided to improve the ecological continuity of each zone. The results show that the elements of ecological structure, especially agricultural spots, gardens and green space of Behshahr city are not in good condition in terms of composition and spatial distribution and during the study period in terms of ecological continuity, especially agricultural spots have been severely damaged. So that crop and garden green spots have decreased by 52% and 31%, respectively, during the last 34 years. Last year it was reduced by about 48 meters, gardens and green spaces by about 10 meters, and the distances between similar ecological spots increased. Finally, it leads to the presentation of: (1) operational and executive "protective" solutions in relation to natural and green corridors and stains (2) and "corrective" operational and executive solutions based on the creation of green ecological networks and the restoration of stains.

        IntroductionHigh education institutess are a key factor in the educational process. Centers that have a suitable location and are designed in a systematic program help the development of urban society in a suitable and efficient way. However, site selection of the high education centers, including Azad University, is a complex issue that involves many evaluations (technical, political, social, environmental and economic).GoalThe most important goal of the research is to implement the correct and appropriate model for the location of higher education centers for the effectiveness of uses in the city.MethodologyThis research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical and field in terms of method and nature, and the final weight of the criteria in preparing the location map was calculated using fuzzy hierarchical multi-criteria decision-making analysis. Based on this and by applying the weights of each criteria in the ArcGIS environment, the suitability of the lands of Babol city for the establishment of new higher education centers with an emphasis on the Islamic Azad University was determined.Geographical area of researchBabol City is located in Babol Township of Mazandaran Province.There are 18 high education institutes (including universities and high education institutes) in this city.Results and discussionAccording to the opinion of experts, the criterion of the distance from flood-prone areas is the first priority with a relative weight of 0.098, and the land value criterion is the last priority with a relative weight of 0.035 to influence the optimal site selection of the high education institutes. According to the site selection map of high education institutes in Babol, the most suitable land for creating these centers is in the southwest and west part of the city and in the area of Farhangian, Nilufer, Azadegan, Taleghani and Andisheh complexes, as well as the current location of the Islamic Azad University of Babol branch.ConclusionThere are three important points in choosing the location of university units with a sustainable development approach:1)Identifying the effects of the components of location and spatial distribution of high education; 2)Identifying the effects of the components of the stakeholders' satisfaction with high education; 3)Identifying the effects of the spatial components of high education site selection.

        Introduction &nbsp; Today, tourism is known to be one of the big industries in the world that imposes direct and indirect effect on economy and social sections of human life. Some scholars argue that tourism is an independent section and emphasize the industrial being of it. In the world of today, tourism has a comprehensive approach toward ecotourism because people are travelling to natural settings and try to enjoy the natural views, wild animals, plants, etc. In addition to making money for government and the natives, this section has a significant role in preserving plant and animal environment. Research Methodology &nbsp; To work out data on the map of plant coverage, Land sat 7 satellite data estimating ETM was utilized. Similarly, to work out digital layers of slope, and its direction, intensity of sunlight, co-height elevations, spatial data collection such as co-temperature, co-precipitation, and soil tissue for analysis and locating purposes, DEM latitude model with a high spatial resolution of 80 was used. * Responsible Author:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;mehr5490@yahoo.com &nbsp; &nbsp; Tourism ecologic model is divided to two recreationally focused and extended ecological models. Each model can be split into three talented, semi-talented, and untalented classes. Based on the tourism ecologic model, the present study tries to recognize talented class in the region under the study. According to the given criteria, needed layers for co-coverage analysis in Geographical information system with raster format and in conditional method were produced. After the layers were transformed to format taking, talented regions were identified and calculated through cooperation method. Results &nbsp; In order to recognize suitable ecotourism places, the most desirable temperature conditions, that is the average co-temperature level of between 13 and 17 centigrade in six warm months and co-precipitation level of between 20 and 50 milliliter were used. The slopes having less sunlight were considered as talented classes because the shadowy regions are more desirable to tourists due to intensity of sunlight in mountainous areas. On the other hands, the presence of resistant geological rocks (volcanic rocks) has been considered as a one of the factors of locating. Meanwhile, since condensed plant coverage acts as an obstacle in moving and watching abilities of tourists, the best possible plant coverage of suitable places was considered as semi-condensed area. Accordingly, since tourists choose leveled lands as their deployment factors, the slope parameter of between 0 and 5 percent was considered. Here, the eastern slope is considered as 67.5 to 11.25 degree compared to northern slope since these slopes enjoy more desirable condition of shadow taking (figure 8). Conclusion &nbsp; Using Geographical information system and factors involved for locating places in the region, the researchers recognized that all talented regions for conducting tourism projects are located in the country region of Deylaman. It is obvious that the mentioned regions enjoy more desirably climatic conditions in warm seasons of the year than other regions. Based on the final model resulted from the common layers that are used in locating places, it was possible to have easy access to all sites and all are located in a rather close distance from roads. As the final model indicates, it is clear that all sites are located in bottom line of rivers with a slope of 5 percent, which makes accessibility to water resources easier. These sites provide temporary deployment of tourists, and if more welfare facilities are provided, tourists may stay in these sites for longer time. Finally, it can be said that based on ecologic criteria, suitable sites of tourism can be identified and matched with natural condition of the region through satellite system of GIS.

        In the end of the eastern side of Azerbaijan volcanic plateau, in the altitudes of Sabalan and Baghrodagh, there is a relatively closed structural depression and pit called Ardabil plain that all surrounding altitudes are directed toward it. Different structure with various resistance rates, enjoying cold semidried climate, the lack of vegetation coverage, and the dominant negative trends on a extensive part of mountain plain of the areas have caused these areas especially the naturally formed watersheds in them to have a relatively high Erosibility power. The main purpose of present study is the evaluation of erosion and erosion Desedimentation in Pileh Rood watershed as one of sub _basins of folding altitudes of Namin located in northern side of Ardabil. In this study, in addition to aerial photography at the scale of 1: 55,000, topographic maps scale of 1: 50,000 and geology map 1:100000 filed erosion and sedimentation are measured by logic fuzzy method. Finally, this technique was compared with empirical method of P.S.I.A.C and the given erosion limits was evaluated and compared through observations and field work. Using fuzzy modeling with minimum input data by the two -variable model and comparing it with P.S.I.A.C model it was concluded that the fuzzy logic - soil erosion prediction models are efficient at locating and differentiating areas of soil erosion with minimum input data.

        In order to investigate the morphological reactions of cutting of damask rose to IBA (indole butyric acid) in different times, an experiment was done in a factorial experiment based on RCD and three times with three replications and 10 observations per each replication. In this experiment, the simple effects of IBA, time and their interaction effects were measured against morphological properties of damask rose rooting. Important measured factors were the root length, the percentage of rooting, the percentage of callus and the dry root weight. After immersing the cutting in IBA quickly for 5 seconds, the cutting were placed in the medium in a research greenhouse under mist system. According to the findings of the present research, in the simple effect of IBA, their time and interaction, the maximum increase in the average root length was obtained in 4000 mg/L-1 IBA and in cutting taken in winter. Similarly, the maximum rooting percentage was achieved in cutting treated with 2000 and 4000 mg/L IBA in March. The highest root dry weight was gained in March and in a concentration of 4000 mg/L of IBA. Manuscript profile

        In order to study the effect of nitrogen rate and plant density on morphological traits and essential oil and fruit yield of coriander, a split-plot experiment was carried out in research field of Islamic Azad University, Birjand Branch, Birjand, Iran in 2010 based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots were nitrogen rates at four levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N/ha) and the sub-plots were plant densities at three levels (30, 40 and 50 plants/m2). The results showed that nitrogen rate had significant effect on fruit yield, essential oil percent and yield traits and interaction between nitrogen rate and plant density only affected fruit yield but change in plant density significantly affected all traits except essential oil percent. Means comparison showed that as N fertilization rate was increased from 0 to 80 kg N ha-1, plant height and fruit yield were increased by 19.8 and 74.1 %, respectively. Also, essential oil percent increased from 0.153 to 0.33% and essential oil yield was greater 2.68 times. Moreover, means comparison showed that the increase in plant density from 30 to 50 plants/m2, increased plant height, first fruit distance from ground, fruit and essential oil yield by 14.3, 27.6, 31.3 and 36.8%, respectively while stem diameter and branch number per main stem were decreased by 22.2 and 13.9%, respectively. Given the results of the study, the treatment of 80 kg N/ha application with the density of 50 plants/m2 recommended for the cultivation of coriander in Birjand, Iran. Manuscript profile

        The dormancy characteristics and optimum conditions for seed germination of Alstroemeria ligtu had not been explained. In vitro and in vivo alstroemeria (A. ligtu hybrid) seed germination tests were conducted in a Randomized Completely Design at two different treatments (gibberellic acid (GA3) 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg/l with and without stratification in 5&plusmn;1oC) in four replications. Seeds were planted in the soil mixture (peat/sand/perlite 1:1:1) or 1.2 MS media (1% sucrose, 0.7% agar and pH to 5.8). After 3-weeks keeping in the stratification conditions, transferred to the growth chamber (21oC and 16h photoperiod). Shoot and root length, number of root and leaf, root and shoot fresh and dry weight, seed germination percentage, germination rate and mean germination time were recorded during experiment. Stratification had a significant effect on seed germination (p&lt;0.05). Soaking for 24 h in 100 mg/l GA3 supplemented with stratification under in vitro and in vivo conditions increased germination up to 76.67% and 70.00%, respectively. Mean germination time (MGT) decreased with duration of stratification and concentration of GA3. Seeds treated with 100 mg.l-1 GA3 plus 21 days of stratification produced the seedlings with the higher number of leaf, length of shoot, shoot and root dry weight in both In vivo and in vitro conditions. Non-stratified seeds without GA3 application fail to germinate, whereas seeds chilled for 21 days had 36.6%, 40.0% germination under in vivo and in vitro, respectively. Stratification was successful in breaking seed dormancy; stratification at 5&plusmn;1oC for 21 days or 100 mg/l GA3+21 days of stratification overcame seed dormancy and increased the germination percentage of A.ligtu hybrid seeds. Thus, seeds of A.ligtu hybrid species probably exhibit a combination of physiological dormancy. In general, In vivo germination rates were lower than in vitro rates. Manuscript profile

        Root-lesion disease, which is caused by Pratylenchus loosi , is one of the most important diseases currently impacting Iran tea plantations. This disease causes great economic crop impacts. Northern provinces, which supply much of Iran&rsquo;s tea production, have been especially hard impact by root-lesion disease.The purpose of this study was to biological control the nematodes as one of the main sections and sustainable agriculture in integrated management systems, allowing application of Bacillus subtilis in the rhizosphere of tea plants infected with the root lesion nematode. In order to study this disease, more than fifty bacterial strains were collected from the rhizosphere area of the tea plants and screened for their antagonistic activities on the reduction of the density population of the adult and juvenile of Pratylenchus loosi under in-vitro condition. Four selected isolates with nematicidal activities were characterized and identified. All belonged to the species Bacillus subtilis. Death percentage of juveniles ranged from 62.88% to 86.01% for Bacillus subtilis (Rh-14) and (Rh-18), respectively. All bacterial strains isolated in this study had the ability to produce protease. The information obtained was needed as the first step toward the search for control strategies of root-lesion disease in tea plantations in Iran. Manuscript profile

        In today's philosophy, the possibility of harmony, closeness and mixing of different fields, including the field of literature and philosophy, has been provided. The purpose of this article is to examine the phenomenological aesthetics of the works of Simon de Beauvoir, a famous philosopher and writer of the 20th century, and to explain the positive consequences of this creative attitude. In fact, de Beauvoir writes philosophically and in the form of writing a metaphysical novel, he brings literature and philosophy closer to each other. More than a writer, he is an artist who cultivates ideas about art and literature through his thoughtful texts and fiction works. Simon de Beauvoir is not a phenomenologist, but his thoughts have the talent of phenomenological reading, as his attention to intentionality, inter-subjective relationship, individual, experience, other and self-loneliness, has made his works worthy of phenomenological study and research. The present article aims to provide the possibility of such a reading of his works by briefly reviewing the concepts raised in de Beauvoir's works. Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of planting date and harvest time on the morphological traits of forage maize (cv. Karoun 701), an experiment of split plot in randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in Varamin in year of 2015. Treatments included five planting dates as main factor (9th of April, 21th of May, 18th of June, 30th of June and 15th of July) and two harvesting times as sub-factor (milky stage and dough stage). The result showed that the effect of planting dates had significant at 1% level on the plant height, leaf width, leaf area, cob diameter and fresh yield. But had no significant effect on the number of leaf per plant, leaf length, number of internode per plant and stem diameter and were not affected by planting date. Results of this experiment showed that planting date of 30th of June was superior to other planting dates in terms of morphological traits such as plant height, leaf width, leaf area, cob diameter and fresh yield of plant compared to other planting dates, and the amount of the above traits with early and delay in planting are greatly reduced. In between, harvesting time at milky stage had the highest leaf width and leaf area and harvesting at dough stage had the highest fresh yield of plant. It is recommended to obtain optimum corn yield, sowing operations should be carried out in the first half of July in Varamin region and for harvesting quality forage at milky stage and to obtain greater harvest yield at dough stage.

The first factor involved irrigation intervals at four levels including two, four, six and eight days. The second factor was the utilization of vermicompost and/or livestock manure in four levels consisted of a control test, five percent manure (by weight), five percent vermicompost and 2.5% manure + 2.5% vermicompost which were added to the studied soil in pots. Water stress caused a significant decrease in the leaf relative water content and chlorophyll index of lemon verbena. The lowest ion leakage was obtained in vermicompost and manure and the highest amount of malondialdehyde in control test. In general, the results of this study showed that with increasing in drought stress a negative effect was observed on growth of Lemon Verbena which finally led to the reduction of biological yield. Also, the utilization of vermicompost and/or manure fertilizer have a&nbsp; positive effect on plant growth and improved plant's growth characteristics. Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluation of trend yield and physiological indices variation of some current Rice cultivars an experiment was carried out in split-plot arrangement using randomized complete blocks design with three replication. In 2006 and 2007 years at Shavoor Agricultural Research Station in Khuzestan province. For exposing rice cultivars to different higher temperature regimes, main plots were assigned to three sowing dates from 5 May with 20 days intervals and cultivars namely: Hoveizeh, Hamar (heat tolerance) Ghermez Anbori, Champa (heat sensitive) and Danial (relatively heat tolerant) were randomized in sub-plots. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that the highest grain yield was harvested from the second sowing date (26 May). It was the superior to first sowing date (5May) with 62.5 percentages. The reason of higher yield related to superior physiological indices in panicle exertion, LAD in ripening duration and also higher dry matter storage potential. In among cultivars, Hoveizeh was the superior to other cultivars and had higher yield related to Ghermez Anbori, Champa with 50.9 and 36.3 percentage respectively. In spite of heat sensitive cultivars had higher of Maximum leaf area index but their's crop growth rate, net assimilation rate and relative growth rate were lower. Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of growth promoting bacteria and potassium sulfate fertilizer on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of corn an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in summer 2015 in Shavour Agricultural Research Station, affiliated to the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center of Khuzestan. The treatments included: T1: Without inoculation and use of potassium fertilizer at recommended rate (as control), T2: using autoclaved inoculum and using chemical fertilizer of potassium as recommended, T3: inoculation with biological fertilizer of Pseudomonas and application of potassium fertilizer to Recommended rate, T4: Inoculation with biological fertilizer of Pseudomonas without the use of potassium fertilizer and T5: Inoculation with biological fertilizer of Pseudomonas and Potassium fertilizer use were 50% less than recommended rate. &nbsp;The results showed that the effect of treatments on the number of rows per ear, number of seeds per row, 1000 grain weight, grain yield, biological yield, starch percentage and potassium percentage of seed and in regard to phosphorus percentage was &nbsp;not significant. The maximum grain yield and biological yield was belonged to T3 treatment. T4 treatment showed the minimum grain yield and biological yield. There was no significant difference between two treatments of T3 and T5 in terms of starch percentage. The highest amount of potassium was obtained from T3 treatment and showed the lowest amount of T4 treatment. In general, there was no significant difference between T3 and T5 treatments in terms of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of yield and the T5 treatment was recommended as a suitable treatment due to reduced potassium fertilizer in terms of sustainable agriculture and reduction of environmental pollution.

        چالش‌ها و تغییرات محیط‌زیستی مهمی به‌ویژه در حوزه توسعه کشاورزی در ایران وجود دارد. عمده این مسائل به دوران پس از اصلاحات ارضی و پیامدهای نوسازی در کشاورزی محسوب می‌شود. هدف اصلی از مطالعه حاضر، واکاوی پارادایمی مدیریت محیط‌زیست در ایران با تأکید بر بخش کشاورزی است. این پژوهش با استفاده از تحلیل اسنادی، مطالعه و بررسی مستندات و پایگاه‌های مختلف داده‌ای در سراسر جهان با بهره‌گیری از تکنیک تحلیل محتوا انجام گرفت. از این‌رو، دیدگاه‌های پارادایمی متنوع و همچنین استراتژی‌های متفاوتی که در حیطه مدیریت محیط‌زیست در سطح دنیا مطرح شده است، مورد مطالعه و بررسی قرار گرفت. سپس ضمن مروری جامع و عمیق بر روند تصویب و اجرای قوانین، دستورالعمل‌ها، ضوابط و اقدامات مختلف در زمینه مدیریت محیط‌زیست، ایران از لحاظ بحث مدیریت محیط‌زیستی در گذر زمان به سه فاز مختلف شامل اشتیاق نسبت به دستاوردهای نوسازی (1962-1974)؛ آغاز نگرانی‌ها نسبت به مسائل محیط‌زیستی (1974-2005)؛ و بحران مدیریت محیط‌زیست (2005 تاکنون) تقسیم شد. در این پژوهش تلاش شده است تا مهم‌ترین مشکلات ناپایداری محیط‌زیست و همچنین علل عدم موفقیت سیاست‌های کلان در این حوزه در سه دوره زمانی مدنظر مورد بحث قرار گیرند. یافته‌ها نشان داد که دیدگاه فکری نامناسبی در مدیریت محیط‌زیست ایران حاکم است و از سوی دیگر همچنین ناسازگاری و ناهماهنگی بین دیدگاه فکری و استراتژی‌های بکار گرفته ‌شده در دوره‌های زمانی مختلف، مشاهده می‌شود. طبق یافته‌ها، دیدگاه غالب فکری در زمینه مدیریت محیط زیست در گذر زمان، دیدگاه افراطی اقتصادی با تأکید زیاد بر فاکتورهای اقتصادی و نادیده شمردن مسائل محیط زیستی بوده است. بنابراین، شاهد افزایش تخریب‌های زیست‌محیطی بوده و در مقابل به جای سازماندهی فعالیت‌های نظام‌مند مشارکتی، صرفاً یک سری اقدامات پراکنده و مجزا از سوی نهادهای مختلف انجام گرفته است. در نهایت، راهکار بنیادین در راستای مدیریت پایدار محیط‌زیست در حوزه کشاورزی، تغییر دیدگاه پارادایمی از تکنولوژی‌گرایی به سوی زیست‌بوم‌گرایی است.

        Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used in different sectors. The problem in these networks is the non-rechargeable batteries of these sensors, which limit the lifetime of the network. Therefore, the optimal energy consumption of sensors is an open research topic. In this paper, a new algorithm with the Development of Genetic Algorithm with the Floyd Warshall (DGAFW) has been proposed. Using the proposed DGAFW algorithm, the number of clusters and nodes assigned to each cluster is first determined with the Floyd Warshall algorithm and then the Cluster Head (CH) is selected using fuzzy logic. Finally, the optimal placement of the base station is specified by the combination of the Genetic Algorithm and the Floyd Warshall. The DGAFW algorithm is based on minimizing the distance of sending multi-hop messages. The simulation is carried out in MATLAB 2023a online software. The simulation results obtained from the DGAFW algorithm have been compared based on the distance, the amount of remaining energy in each round, and the number of rounds of network activity in the case where the location of the base station is fixed or randomly determined in each round. The results obtained show that the DGAFW algorithm compared to the case of random base station and fixed station respectively, has 12.7% and 14.3% shorter average message-sending distance in each round, 14.7% and 19.1% more residual energy and also 36% and 48% more rounds of network activity.

        One of the most important problems of urban planners today is the disorder and visual clutter of the urban landscape. Various factors effectively shape the city&#039;s image, one of the most important of which is the urban facades. One of the goals of creating a beautiful facade is that it will make the building more attractive and ultimately increase its visual weight and will have a better effect on the mood of the residents and visitors of the building. Dissatisfaction with the current state of facades has led to the efforts of city planners and architects to organize urban facades. One of the ways to help this issue is pathology and providing a model for visual pathology. For this reason, this research seeks to provide a model of the visual pathology process of the urban facade and to achieve this model, it has examined the pathology process of the facade components in creating visual clutter. Finally, this research presents a new pathologic method and process that can be used to examine single-facade and urban facade damage and prepare supporting documents in urban design and development, and provide a checklist to subordinate organizations to assess facade damage (specified codes).

        The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important agricultural plants in the world. It is propagated predominantly by asexual methods. The traditional methods for asexual propagation of the plant faced important problems. Therefore, the seed tubers can be replaced by micro tubers produced by tissue culture. The aim of this study is search about effect of different concentrations of CaCL2 and MgSO4 in media culture In vitro in histological - cellular variations of the microtubers. In this study solid and liquid MS media were used to prepare sterilized seedlings and micro tuberization.The concentrations of 0, 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 times more than standard concentrations of the mentioned compounds in MS medium were used in separate induction media . Induction was done in the alternating photoperiod. In order to the developmental and anatomical studies cross sections of microtubers was prepared and studied by light microscopy.The number of cell rows, the dimensions of the cells and the starch content of the parenchymal tissues of microtuber were analyzed. the results showed significant variations in histological features of the microtubers developed in media containing different concentrations of macronutrients. CaCL2 with concentrations of 0.5 to 1 time more than standard concentration in MS medium yielded maximum number of cell rows and maximum starch granules content. However, the presence of a minimum amount of magnesium is essential for the formation of the micro tubers. But there is no statistically significant effect on cellular changes of microtubers and starch content. Manuscript profile

        Irrigation water salinity is one of the growing problems in the path of agricultural and horticultural production that researchers must determine different solutions to this problem and provide it to farmers. In this regard, silicon and selenium due to their positive role, both structurally and as cofactors of enzymes related to the metabolism of various antioxidants can play an effective role in increasing plant tolerance to salinity stress. For this purpose, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design including four salinity levels and three fertilizer sources of silicon and selenium compounds in normal and nano size in Shirvan Faculty of Agriculture, Bojnourd University. Statistical analysis showed that the main effect of salinity stress, as expected, had a significant reducing effects on all studied traits (except essential oil). In these variables, although the main effect of fertilizer type was not statistically significant, but at different levels of silicon and selenium consumption, an increasing trend of these variables was observed, indicating the positive effect of simultaneous use of these two elements in reducing the effect of salinity. Also the main effects of salinity and fertilizer sources on leaf length and width factors, fresh and dry weight of stem, number of sub-branches, number of leaves and leaf area index were significant. In all these indicators, the application of silicon and selenium elements in nano size has always been more effective than the normal size of these elements, which should be considered as a management strategy in salinity stress conditions.

        Ocimum basilicum L.from Lamiaceae is used as a herb, spice and fresh vegetable. Since medicinal plants have different reactions to drought stress in the production of effective compounds, Diagnosis of medicinal plants growth under different irrigation conditions and drought stress can be a guide for growing plants in dry and low water conditions. Therefore, in order to evaluate the effect of drought stress on morphological characteristics and essential oil content, especially linalool, in different stages of plant growth of Basil plant, a completely randomized factorial design was carried out in 3 replications. The experimental treatments included three levels of dryness (no stress, mild stress and severe stress) in potted conditions, in vegetative, pre-flowering, flowering and fruit-growing stages. The results showed that drought stress had a significant effect on evaluated characteristics. So, with decreasing of soil moisture content, plant height, number and leaf area, decreased in all stages of growth and Stem diameter increased at all stages, especially in severe stress and root length, increased during flowering stage. In reproductive stages, drought stress caused a significant reduction in the number of flowers than the control. Extreme stress in flowering and fruiting stages has had decrease in the amount of essential oil production, especially linalool. However, mild stress showed increase in the production of these compounds in both steps. The highest percentage of essential oil was related to mild drought stress at flowering stage and the highest amount of linalool was due to mild drought stress in the fruiting stage.

        Due to importance of bats in ecosystem and the limited information about reproduction of this useful organism, the spermatogenesis of the Egyptian Fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) was studied stereologically in three seasons, spring to autumn, as the first record. For this purpose, 7 male bats were captured by mistnet in Sangtārashan Cave (Fars- Jahrom ), and transferred to the laboratory at the end of every season. After anesthetization and dissection of bats, their testicles were removed and fixed after measuring. The sections (5&mu;m) were prepared from fixed samples and stained. The volume of studied parameters was determined by using Cavallier method, and seminiferous diameters and testicular cells number were measured with stereo Lite software. Obtained data were analyzed by Kruskal&ndash;Wallis, and compared by Friedman test. According to obtained results, the testicles were in the scrotum out of the body with significant difference of weight and volume in the left and right testis, and the maximum weight (0.7650&plusmn; 0.19g) and volume (862&plusmn; 0.41 mm3) were in spring. The germ cells and many sperm were observed in the lumens in all seasons. The diameter of seminiferous tubule were different (P&lt;0.05) between spring (235/90&plusmn;1.06 &micro;m) and autumn (227.82&plusmn;1.29 &micro;m) were observed. Maximum mean number of spermatocyt (294.6&times;106), sertoli (11.59&times;106) and lydig (39.30&times;106) were estimated in spring and the lowest of them in autumn, but the maximum number of spermatid (284.2 &times;106) were in autumn. According to these results, the peak of sexual activity of this bat species is in spring and summer. Manuscript profile

        The identification of Anura amphibians species in the southeastern cities of Tehran province was examined through histological studies. 4 main stations (i.e. Pakdasht, Varamin, Qarchak, Pishva) were selected in the southeast of Tehran province. Then, 24 samples specimens were preserved at 10% formalin solution and transferred to the laboratory for histological studies. Studies have shown that in one group of samples (Green Toad, Pseudepidalea (Bufo) viridis) there were toxin-producing glands. In this group, the 3-layer epithelium and below it the chromatophores were quite visible. Beneath them were large glands that produce toxins, followed by connective tissue and then striped muscles. In a group of amphibians (Marsh frog, Pelophylax (Rana) ridibunda) collected, a 4-layer epithelium was observed that divided itself into two subgroups: some with mucosal secretory glands and some without mucosal glands, but in the latter two groups, chromatophores, connective tissue, striped muscles and cartilage were seen. Another group of amphibians found that the epithelium was three-layered but had no venom-producing glands or no mucosal glands, but two features were seen in histological observations, such as some with cartilage and some without cartilage. The results of histological studies showed that in addition to morphological, morphological and genetic studies, histological studies can be used to identify of Anura. These differences indicate the possibility of polymorphism in the Marsh frog species. Manuscript profile

        The genus Rubus L. belongs to the genus Rosaceae. This genus includes more than 750 species in the world. Among some species of this genus such as R. dolichocarpus Juz. And R. ochthodes Juz. Morphological similarity is observed in traits such as the number of leaflets, the shape of the earrings and the color and shape of the petals, which makes it difficult to identify these two closely related species. The species R. dolichocarpus in the flora of Iran is declared synonymous with the species R. ochthodes, while these two species in the flora of Iranica, the flora of Russia and the flora of Iran are two separate species in one subgenus and two different segments. For this purpose, in this study, the taxonomic relationships of these two species based on morphological characteristics were investigated. The results indicate differences in morphological traits such as the shape and condition of the annual stem, the shape of lateral leaflets in the flowering stem, the shape of the leaflets. And the density of flowers in the inflorescence. Also, according to molecular data using the ITS nuclear marker, these two species have 36 different nucleotides, which confirms the separation of the two species. Therefore, according to the results obtained in this study and comparison with previous studies, it is suggested that two species of R. dolichocarpus and R. ochthodes. According to the flora of Iranica, the flora of Russia and the flora of Iran should be defined as two separate species. Manuscript profile

        Zinc is one of the essential micronutrients for the normal growth and development of plants, as it is known to be required in several metabolic processes but the presence of Zinc at higher concentrations especiallyinacid soils, is limiting factor for plant growth. To evaluate the impact of Zinc on growth and physiological characteristics of bean plants, concentrations of 30, 40 and 50 (&micro;M) Zn(No3)2 were used in the hydroponic media.The results showed that the treatments had significant effects on the growth and physiological parameters so that the rate of germination, root length, shoot length, leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight, SLW and LWR significantly decreased and LAR and LWCA significantly increased with increasing of Zn concentration and also Zn had no significant effect on SLA on the plants. According to the Duncan analysis, presence of Zn in the nutrient medium caused to increase chlorophyll content and soluble sugars significantly butinsoluble sugars exhibited decreasing.The presence of heavy metals in the rhizosphere and influx them to plant make reduce growth and cause to irregularity in cells metabolism,thus Zn might be affected the important processes such as water transporting, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, photosynthesis and chlorophyll content.

        Because of ever-increasing demand for the use of biodegradable lubricants and additives, it is necessary to design and synthesize new additives. In the present study, two ionic liquids with imidazole cations were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR and FTIR spectra. The use of ionic liquids based on the imidazolium cation and anion bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (TFSA) and tris&shy;(tetrafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate (FAP) has been investigated. These additives are known to be green additives as these compounds lack zinc, an element prohibited by environmental protection organizations. These materials were used as an additive to ISO 32 grade hydraulic oil. Their lubricating properties, such as cinematic viscosity at 40&deg;C, copper corrosion, 4-ball weld point test, sulfated ash, oil/water separating test, and air release from oil were examined, which showed better results than the ordinary additive zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).

        In this research, with a new strategy and convenient conditions, a novel bridgeless calix dimer was synthesised. Quinone- Hydroquinone calix[4]arene (4) was synthesised from calixquinone derivative in the presence of copper (II) acetate and 1,4- diaminobutane. The obtained dimer structure was characterised by various spectroscopic methods such as 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and IR spectroscopies. Since the macrocyclic molecules and in particular, calix[4]arene macrocycle derivatives, have wide usage as suitable receptors for recognising natural molecules. So, the synthesized compound was used. Also, the sole role of dopamine in central nervous and cardiovascular systems made it to be chosen as a guest molecule. The formation complex constant between Quinone-Hydroquinone calix[4]arene (4) as host and dopamine (guest) was calculated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that the synthesized dimer (4) had not only a good ability to be the selective recognition of dopamine but also an appropriate repeatability. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study was to investigate the structural model of the effect of conflict, attraction, psychological commitment and resistance to change on behavioral loyalty to the Sepahan soccer team brand in Isfahan. The statistical population of this research is the fans of the Isfahan Sepahan sport club. The sample size required for this study was 384 people. The data collection tool was a questionnaire with 52 questions.Whose validity was confirmed by the opinion of sports management professors and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test with a coefficient of 0.89. The results of the study showed that attraction has a positive effect with standard coefficient (0.15) on psychological commitment. The conflict has a positive effect with the standard coefficient (0.420) on psychological commitment. The attraction variable has an indirect effect on the variable of resistance to change with coefficient (0.69). The relationship between resilience to change and behavioral loyalty was also significant with the standard coefficient (0.11). That is, resistance can be the cause of behavioral loyalty, in other words, the constant presence of the audience. In general, it should be admitted that in order to promote the brand's strategic position, by highlighting the club's brand, it can create a clear picture of the club's performance in the minds of the fans by creating warmth, social acceptance, respect for the audience, providing exciting conditions. And eventually provide security. Manuscript profile

        The importance of technology as the main factor and engine of sustainable economic development in the world is clear. Since technology is developed in the lap of knowledge and by passing through the valley of research and development, it is possible to create fields of application of knowledge in human life, so today intellectual capital has become a very precious capital in the current business world. In this article, we intend to investigate the interactive effect of intellectual capital and sustainable development on technological policies in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, during the period 2015-2019, using the Tobit panel research method. The results of the research indicate that there is a significant relationship between sustainable development and technological policies, because technology not only causes change, but is itself a response to change towards sustainable development in society. There is no significant relationship between intellectual capital and technological policies.

        Innovation is a very important issue for all industries, especially the defense industry. Because these industries need technological innovations to support defense power. Of course, innovation is a very complex process that should be used purposefully and planned in industries. In the field of defense, innovation plays a fundamental role in improving equipment, processes and providing advanced services to military forces. Because it can be the basis for the growth of productivity and efficiency in this sector, which ultimately leads to cost reduction. Therefore, in this research, the relationships between the variables of technological innovations, research and development costs, economic growth, effective real exchange rate and military costs were investigated in the period of 1378-1398 were investigated by conducting the ARDL test. The results indicate that the effect of technological innovation and research and development costs on military costs is negative both in the short term and in the long term. While the impact of GDP and exchange rate on defense costs is positive. But the results of this research clearly show that investment in research and development and the use of technological innovations can be effective in producing new military goods and services and improving quality, and by creating new equipment and advanced products and reducing dependence on foreign countries, productivity and efficiency in increase military organizations and even help the economic growth of the country by creating employment for educated and talented people.

        With the development of technology and due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, most of the ELT courses in Iran have shifted to online learning since March 2020. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the effectiveness of four online technological tools of teaching idioms. To this aim, 106 pre-intermediate learners of English took part in the study. A language proficiency test was administered to ensure the homogeneity of the sample. A total number of 80 students were selected as the final participants who were randomly assigned to four experimental groups: In group A, concept maps of the same idioms were drawn with the help of an online mind-map maker. Group B were presented with online flashcards which included definitions and examples of idioms. Group C received etymological elaboration from an online dictionary of the origins of idioms, and group D listened to online audio stories of all the idioms. Each group of the participants received the treatment for 12 sessions and took part in the pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest. The results of a one-way ANOVA indicated that the most gains were achieved by story-telling. The findings imply implications for teachers, syllabus designers, and materials developers in using appropriate instructional methods for teaching idioms. Manuscript profile

        Freedom in the social system, especially the religious society, has important benefits and effects by observing its limits and boundaries; In order to achieve such an ideal, the fundamentals of freedom from the point of view of Islam must be carefully analyzed and examined. The question of the current research is that according to Islamic teachings and philosophical and psychological realities, what are the foundations of freedom and what are its anthropological foundations? In this article, by adopting the descriptive-analytical method, it was clarified that the foundations of freedom are news propositions that are either self-evident or proven in other sciences and are used to determine the principles, goals, factors, methods, stages, and obstacles of legitimate freedom; Also, the foundations of freedom can be divided into three types: religious, scientific and philosophical. Based on induction, philosophical foundations are divided into five epistemological, ontological, theological, value-oriented and anthropological branches. Knowing man and his characteristics is one of the main prerequisites for the issue of freedom. In this research, fourteen of the most important Islamic anthropological bases effective in humanities studies, including the issue of freedom, were identified. Manuscript profile

        Shāhnāmeh of Ferdowsi, as the valuable work of epic literature, shows collection of cultures and beliefs of Iranian people from the farthest times to the era of Ferdowsi. In this book, Ferdowsi narrates the story of Iranian kings and heroes from mythological to historical times; it is a collection of beliefs, cultures and rituals that kings, heroes, natural elements and animals are its actors. Elephant is among these actors. All the epic, mythological and ritual motifs related to elephant are not mentioned in Shāhnāmeh, so in order to achieve a comprehensive overview of the animal, inevitably, other Persian epic books, written after Shāhnāmeh and affected by it, should be studied. By using comparative-analytical approach, the authors of the present article try to extract, classify and analyze the motifs of elephant and its related themes in Shāhnāmeh and other ten epics including Bānūgoshasp-nāmeh, Borzu-nāmeh, Bahman-nāmeh, Jahāngir-nāmeh, Sāmnameh, Shahriyār-nāmeh, Farāmarz-nāmeh, Kok koohzād, Kūsh-nāmeh, and Garshāsp-nāmeh.&nbsp; The most important motifs include: Ahurian-Ahrimanian motifs, elephant totem, killing elephant by hero, metamorphosis to elephant, presence of elephant in army, its role in games, interpretation of dreams and so on.

        The Well of Babel, a novel written by Reza Ghāssemi, has a mythological theme. Inspired by a Semitic story, it narrates the descent of two male angels named Harut and Marut who fall in love with a woman named Zohreh (Nahid). The purpose of the present article is to examine the metamorphosis of these three characters and their functions. In addition, by using descriptive-analytical method, it also tries to show the history of the fall of the angels and their connection to ancient Indian and Iranian goddesses. In this regard, it's important to investigate the metamorphosis of Anahita, Haurvatat and Ameretat and their relationship with Indian goddess of Saraswati and Ashvins twins. The results show that time, place, and personality in the novel have triple features. In trichotomy of personality, the mythological transformation of Harut and Marut into the body of two men and transformation of Zohreh into the body of a woman happen. Mandoo, Kamal and Filisa play central role in the transformation. Recurrence, reincarnation and transformation happen in three different eras (the Qajar dynasty, the age of Islamic revolution and the contemporary era) and in three different locations (Russia, Iran and French). They refer to metamorphosis and the mythological transformation and confirm the recurrence of eternal behavior patterns of men. Manuscript profile

        Folklore legends are on the border of imagination and reality; they have a common border with world of myth and are neighbor of real world. The common themes of folklore legends indicate their mythological common contents. Analysis of secrets and signs of legends and myths helps to know their cultural development and formation. In the present article, we try to analyze a symbol in legends and myths of Semnan province, and to examine a common symptom in eastern myths. There is a strong resemblance between stories of goddesses and two legends belong to Shahmirzad and Parvar (in Semnan province) in symbol of "leopard". In these legends, leopard distances from its wild nature and becomes a guardian, and accompanies symbolically the main character of the legends that is a "woman". The legends show the mythological beliefs of people of this district about the animal. Given the relationship between leopard and goddesses in the myths, we can say that leopard is a symbol of a goddess in the legend of Parvar, and in the legend of Shamirzad, it is a symbol of guard as well as goddess.

        Archetypes are rooted in the depths of collective unconsciousness; some of them, beyond the geographical boundaries, are present in the minds of all men. The present article, by using analytical-comparative method, attempts to exmine "the archetype of death and rebirth" in the poems let the Pigeon sleep by Syrian poet, Badi Saqour and in the Praise of Pigeons by M.R. Shafiei Kadkani. The issue of death and rebirth in these poems can be studied in three ways: a: The poet's focus is more on the subject of death. b: Death and rebirth occur in a balanced manner. c: More attention is paid to the subject of rebirth. The most important findings of this study are as follows: Many of the poems in these two collections are based on the balance between death and rebirth. In other his poems, Badi Saqour focuses more on death; but, Shafiei Kadkani emphasizes more on the issue of rebirth. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Understanding the mythological background of epic characters helps us to analyze their functions in literary texts. Studying the functions of Vayu and the existence of some similarities between this lord and Kai Kāvus provides a comparative investigation of these two mythological characters. Kai Kāvus, as described in Shāhnāmeh, is one of Iran's greatest epic kings and has a mythological background. Vayu is the god of wind and air that rules the empty space between heaven and earth. The present study, by using descriptive-analytical method, has found the similarities between the two characters. They are as follows: having ambitious personality, having divine light, having magic-medicine power, being warlike, being messenger of death, having a windy nature and being the father of first man. Although there are slight differences, the similarities between the two mythological characters make us think that the Kai Kāvus is a transformed and human form of Vayu. The purpose of this research is to present Kai Kāvus' godly background, his epic behavior and his multi-dimensional character in Shāhnāmeh. Manuscript profile

        1765 - The Reflection of Mithraic Beliefs on Lori Legends
        Sodābeh Keshāvarzi Zarrintāj Vāredi

        Mithraism, as one of the oldest religions in the world, dates back to the pre-Zoroastrian era. Mithra is god of covenant and light; he is opposed to chaos, drought, disobedience and lie, and is known as a warrior. Due to the specific characteristics of this god, Mithraism spread in many parts of Iran. Surviving legends in some parts of Iran have mythological themes and are rooted in some religious beliefs. In the present research, by using descriptive-analytical method, the influence of Mithraic beliefs on Lori legends is examined. We study the legends that have been written in Persian language and have been collected from Lorestan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, and Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces. The reader will realize that some of the mythological and religious beliefs of Mithraism, while maintaining their functionality, and some others through transformations, have taken root in Lori legends. Some of these beliefs are as follows: how to be born, warfare, fertility, and phenomena related to sun, cock, crow, eagle, soldier, fire, number seven and cow. Manuscript profile

        In the religious texts of ancient Iran and especially in the Zoroastrian ones, the land of Sistan is of great importance so that its mythical, historical, geographical places and people related to it have been frequently cited. Given the importance of the issue and due to the lack of comprehensive research in this area, by using analytical-descriptive method, the present article attempts to examine the religious and mythological issues related to the land of Sistan covered in Zoroastrian texts. The results of the study show that the Scythians and the Kayanians were associated with this region. Also, since it is the birthplace of Zoroaster, it was the place of the spread and propagation of Zoroastrianism and the emergence of the eschatological saviors. In addition, in these texts, several holy mountains, holy fire temples, holy seas and holy rivers in Sistan are mentioned that show its privileged position in Zoroastrian religion. The frequent mention of Sistan in Zoroastrian texts can be a reflection of its religious and mythological image in this ancient religion. &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        A large number of gods have arisen from the world of mythology and have been appeared as famous heroes or great kings in epics. One of these heroes is Samak in the prose epic-heroic story of Samak-e Ayyar. This hero, like the mythological gods Indra and Mitra, is considered to have some mythical characteristics. Some of the mythological features of Samak are as follows: rescuing princesses from the clutches of evil kidnappers; an inseparable relationship with Khorshid Shah; destroying demons and fairies; constantly accompanying a woman who is the manifestation of a goddess. By an analytical-comparative approach and considering the Indo-Iranian sacred texts, Rigveda and Avesta, and the ideas of mythological scholars such as Mehrdad Bahar, the authors of the present article have tried to compare the functions of two gods, Indra and Mitra, with the functions of Samak. The results show that Samak, the prominent hero of the prose epic-heroic story of Samak-e Ayyar, is an amalgamation of two mythological cultures of India and Iran and have metamorphosed into a new form. &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Rituals are an integral part of the culture and history of the people of Sistan, an Iranian tribe, which has been uniquely expressed through their religious, ethnic, and tribal beliefs. Based on the mythological, anthropological, historical, and psychological characteristics of the Sistani people, their rituals set them apart from other Iranian tribes. Furthermore, these rituals have been depicted in the ancient tales of this region, serving as the foundation for various literary analyses. The purpose of this research is to explore the rituals portrayed in the stories of the people of Sistan and analyze their underlying themes using a descriptive-analytical approach, combined with the critical lens of myth criticism. Extensive studies confirm that Sistani narratives encompass a range of rituals, with notable examples including blood drinking, the myth of Oushidar, incestuous marriages, witchcraft, and mourning ceremonies. Many of these rituals originated from the ancient Iranian and Zoroastrian cultures, as well as the customs and practices of ancient tribes like the Scythians, eventually becoming deeply ingrained within the Sistan region's populace.

        &nbsp; Love, which represents the deepest form of connection between human beings, can take on different forms. In a romantic relationship, not all people follow the same emotional pattern and some human beings may even resort to violence or punishment. The myth of Ranā in the region of Gilān in Iran depicts the emergence of a romantic relationship and its unfortunate fate in the lord and peasant system. By using descriptive-content analysis method and with a mythological and narratological approach, the present study seeks to explain the influential elements in the romantic myth of Ranā. Also, the various dimensions of this mythological narrative and its discourse, contextual and hypertextual conditions are examined. In order to better understand the symbols of the narrative, the attempt is made to study the prevailing culture and discourses with an emphasis on psychoanalysis and sociology. The results show that human relations, especially emotional, can indicate the evolutionary status of a society and if a society wants to preserve its indigenous identity and its own aesthetics, it has no choice but to know its past and pay attention to its native myths; because myths are considered as behavioral patterns of a particular society and in most cases, their influence is unconsciously experienced.

        One of the components in Persian novels is the use of mythological-archetypal elements and themes. In the present article, by using a descriptive-analytical method, an attempt has been made to study the mythological components in&nbsp;Symphony of the Dead&nbsp;of Abbas Maroufi. The author has deliberately used myths which indicates his awareness of the myths and symbols of Iran and the world, and religious, national and ethnic culture. The main theme of the novel is murder and fratricide, and is nurtured by the myth of Abel and Cain, but Maroufi has used various myths that can be divided into three categories: the myths of&nbsp;Shahnameh&nbsp;(Siyāvash, Iraj, Bijan and Manijeh etc.), mythical animals (phoenix, crow, wolf, butterfly, fish) and mythological concepts (creation, dualism, catharsis, mandala,&nbsp;plant animism, etc.). These concepts cover a very wide range of topics, so in the present article, only the concepts that have been less addressed in other studies are considered. Manuscript profile

        &nbsp;Traveling (mythological / mystical) is one of the topics covered by great writers of fiction. The present article compares the two models of travel in Iranian and world literature from mythological and mystical perspective. The Pearson-Marr archetypes refer to twelve stages of the hero's mythological journey (innocent, orphan, warrior, protector, seeker, destroyer, lover, creator, governor, wizard, wise and clown). In Mantiq-u-Tayr, the outstanding book of Attār of Nishapur, seven stages of mystical journey (suluk) are mentioned as follows: search (talab); love (eshq); knowledge (marifat); unity (tohid); contentment (esteghnā); bewilderment (heirat); true poverty (faqr); nothingness (fanā). The purpose of the present article is to compare the Pearson-Marr archetypes with Attār's stages of mystical journey by examining John Bunyan's the Pilgrim&rsquo;s Progress, a classic Christian novel with travel theme. Christian, the hero of the story, begins his journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction" (this world), to the "Celestial City" (the Heaven). The research findings show that the main reason for the similarity between the two books (Mantiq-u-Tayr and the Pilgrim&rsquo;s Progress) is their religious background. Although there is no one-to-one correspondence between the stages of the journey in the two models of Attār and Pearson-Mar, but since John Bunyan's book is about a mythological-mystical journey, the steps that his protagonist (Christian) goes through fit into both patterns.

        The present study examines three mythological symbols of blood, plant and long hair, which are related to mythological characters who become martyrs, in contemporary Persian novels. To achieve this goal, first the symbols are examined in the story of Siyāvash in Shānāmeh, and then the transformation of these mythological symbols in three contemporary novels is analyzed. The statistical population of the research is the story of Siyāvash in Shānāmeh and three novels Suvashun, Bewilderment (Heirani) and His Ego (Man-e-oo) that have been selected by the purposeful sampling method. The present research, by using the descriptive-analytical method, aims to state that the mythological symbols (blood, plant and long hair) have been changed and reproduced in all three novels under the influence of the culture and internal relations of the society. The results, while confirming the regeneration of these mythological symbols in Persian contemporary fiction, show that despite the temporal, spatial and positional differences, their structure remains the same, but the components, context and semantic function undergo transformation and according to the elements of change, fracture and integration have been reproduced.

        The short story "The Lady of the Garden" from the book Seven Captains, written by Shahriar Mandanipour, is a patriarchal narrative about women and the society in which the story takes place. In an eerie atmosphere and inspired by Sadegh Hedayat's book The Blind Owl (Boof-e koor), the author expresses his views about his society and homeland by using symbols and mythological elements. Using descriptive analytic method and based on a mythological view, the present article tries to answer these questions: Which mythological themes and narratives did the author use for making the story better understood? Are these themes woven into the warp and woof of the story, or, are they only present in a symbolic way? In order to explain the death of beauty and the lack of progress, the lack of change and failure to achieve goals in his homeland, Mandanipour talks about the myth of the journey to the underworld, and the death of the plant god. He mentions the symbols of the agricultural &ndash; well era, flower, etc.; he believes that a demon is the reason for destruction and creates a confrontation between the goddess of agriculture and the god of the Aryans. Referring to the theme of "repetition of myths in the sacred time", the author believes that the hero always tries to make a great change and ultimately does not achieve this goal, because people do not interpret truth, beauty and change as the hero does Manuscript profile

        The approach of archetypal criticism, which has its foundation in anthropology, is interdisciplinary in nature. This method is particularly prominent in the study of epic works, such as Ferdowsi's Shānāmeh, due to the deep-rooted archetypes and mythological foundations present in these texts. The collective unconscious plays a dominant role in great mythological and mystical works, as evidenced by the presence of motifs such as the repetition of cosmic processes, rituals, gods, and supernatural elements. As a result, these texts, and particularly Shānāmeh, are highly suitable for the analysis of archetypal elements. The purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze the archetypal connection between plants and humans in myths, specifically focusing on the stories of Siavash and Kei-Khosrow. This research employs a descriptive-analytical method and utilizes Jung's critique of archetypes to analyze the archetypal and genealogical aspects of the vegetative reason. The findings of this research indicate that the "Kin plant" (coral plant or Erythrina corallodendron) that grows from Siavash's blood is a symbol of the archetype of human reason and plant descent of man, which is manifested in the existence of Kei-Khosrow.

        &nbsp;The present research aims to apply Gilbert Durand's mythological criticism to Bahram Beyzai's dramatic works, including playwrights and screenplays, in order to uncover the underlying mythological pattern. The task was accomplished by utilizing the method of mythological analysis. It involved carefully studying the author's significant work, and identifying the principal sub-myth present in his works. In addition to analyzing the text and metatext (such as exploring the sub-myth present in other works by the author, studying his personal-professional life, and assessing his personal complex), a psychometric approach was employed to uncover his personal and extra-personal myth. The findings of the research indicate that the principal sub-myth in Beyzai's works revolves around several key themes: studying the past to shape the future, battling against oppression and ignorance that hinder the growth of the homeland's fertility, and being willing to sacrifice oneself if necessary to achieve this fertility. Furthermore, the priority of life over death and femininity as the source of life are significant aspects of this sub-myth. Beyzai's personal complex, described in the language of Jacques Lacan, involves a fixated state and difficulties transitioning from the imaginary to the symbolic realm. Lastly, his personal myth can be associated with the goddess Anahita. Manuscript profile

        Genetic intertextuality is a well-known form of intertextuality. From a genetic point of view, intertextual relationships in texts can be distinguished into two types: real (strong) and single-layer (weak). True intertextuality is only achieved when the connection between two texts transcends mere lexical and formal similarities, indicating a strong intertextual bond. Through genetic intertextuality, a thorough exploration of textual relationships at various levels—both formal and thematic—proves essential in identifying the type, nature, and intensity of intertextuality. Furthermore, Roland Barthes employs a genetic intertextual interpretation to enhance the reader's experience and interaction with the text. He posits that texts can be viewed as either "readings" where the audience plays a passive role or "writings" where the audience actively engages. Barthes contends that leveraging these two forms of intertextuality is pivotal in decoding the text effectively. This qualitative study employs a comparative analytical approach to analyze data. The findings underscore the significant impact of a strong intertextual relationship in transforming the novel, "Suvashun," into a narrative that captivates the reader's passive engagement.

These features are as follows: having good and bad features of Satan and Angel, being simultaneously child and old, having magical female power as well as spiritual wisdom, and being symbol of spiritual inspiration. Since there is a close link between mythical and psychological criticism, hence both have impact on individual&rsquo;s personality. On the other hand, the archetypes like instincts have an effect on human behavior and also contribute to the formation of personality. The present article, by considering these points, tries to analyze the features of female characters in Alizādeh&rsquo;s works. The research shows that Alizādeh appeals to mythical symbols and creates one-sided images, exoteric and unknown characters, and shows an abnormal relation between dream and fact. Manuscript profile

        Immortality is one of the most important themes in mythology. The hero of myth puts aside his sensual desires and pleasures in order to reach immortality. Key-Khosrow, the mythical character and one of the Heroes of Shāhnāmeh, acts in this way to achieve immortality. Based on the phenomenological reduction theory (epoch&eacute;) of Edmund Husserl and relying on descriptive-analytical method, the present article considers the notion of &ldquo;return to origin&rdquo; in the story of Key-Khosrow. Husserl believes that the real knowledge of objects is possible by an immediate intuition. He uses the phenomenological reduction method that involves setting aside all presuppositions and judgments and instead analyses the phenomenon in the human mind. This method is similar to the notion of &ldquo;return to origin&rdquo; in mythology, in which the hero of the myth puts aside all inner and outer obstacles and immediately faces with the truth.

In the contemporary history of Iran, 1953 Iranian coup d&rsquo;&eacute;tat as one the most impressive contemporary events inclined Iranian writers and novelists to notice to myths that are reflection of unconscious of Iranian people after the coup. EsmāilFasih&rsquo;s Dard-e Siāvash (The Pain of Siavash), as one of the prominent novel, points to prevailing tendency to myths in those days.&nbsp; Employing descriptive-analytical method and mythological criticism, the present article tries to consider the themes existing in mythical literature and the resonance of the myths in the novel. The research shows that based on his personality, social situation and intellectual climate, the writer recreates characters, narrations and mythic spaces relying upon the story of Siavash in Shāhnāmeh. Esmāil Fasih designates the time of death of the hero of the story, Siavash, on 19 August 1953 (28 Mordad). By doing so, the writer identifies the hero with Mosaddegh and refers to the role of hero-killing among Iranians. In other words, he generalizes the space of the story to the whole history of Iran.

In this research, the status of psychological separation and its quadruple components, namely: emotional, functional, conflictual and attitudinal, in relation to parents and their role in student academic achievement have been investigated. Based on data obtained from the Hoffman Psychological Separation Inventory (PSI), administered on a total of 174 unmarried available students of the Islamic Azad University, having separated from their parents in pursuit of their academic careers; the overall score of psychological separation along with its different facets were determined and the Academic Achievement Index (AAI) was assessed. Statistical Analysis of data revealed a significant difference between the two sexes, showing a higher degree of independence in boys in respect to the overall score of psychological separation in general and the component of emotional independence in particular. Regression measures of AAI against psychological separation was meaningful in boys, the percentage of predictable variance being 13. A verage score comparison of Iranian students with those of their foreign counterparts revealed a lower level of conflictual and functional independence and a higher level of attitudinal independence in the sample. Results suggest that special attention should be devoted to the different aspects of separation regarding type of independecy and gender of both, students and parents. Manuscript profile

The present study was quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest, control group and two-month follow-up period design. The statistical population of the present study included the students engaged in divorce with externalized behavior problems who were studying in the first high school in academic year 2020-21 in the city of Isfahan. 40 students engaged in divorce with externalized behavior problems were selected through purpo- sive sampling method and randomly accommodated into experimental and control groups (each group of 20 students). The experimen- tal group received ten seventy-five-minute sessions of training psychodrama (Khoobani et.al, 2013) during two-and-a-half months. 4 people from the experimental group and 3 people from the control group quitted participating in the study. The applied questionnaires in this study included Impulsivity Questionnaire (Barratt, Stanford, Kent &amp; Felthous, 2004), Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire (Dennis &amp; VanderWal, 2010) and Children and Adolescents Behavioral Inventory (Achenbach, &amp; Rescorla, 2001). The data from the study were analyzed through repeated measurement ANOVA. The results showed that training psychodrama has significant effect on the impulsivity and psychological flexibility of the students engaged in divorce with externalized behavior problems (p&lt;0.001). Ac- cording to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that training psychodrama can be used as an efficient method to decrease impulsivity and increase psychological flexibility in the students engaged in divorce with externalized behavior problems through employing techniques such as confrontation, showing feelings, emotional refinement and role playing.

Two hundred college students (171 females, 29 males) completed the Ryff&rsquo;s Psychological Well-being Scales (Ryff, 1989), the Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky &amp; Lepper, 1999), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, 2009), the Gratitude Questionnaire (McCullough et al., 2002), and the International Personality Item Pool (Goldberg, 1999). Results indicated that gratitude was positively correlated with all factors of psychological well being, subjective well being, and personality (except autonomy and extraversion). The relationship between gratitude and personality demonstrated a distinctive pattern, so that gratitude was strongly correlated with religiosity- and social functioning- related factors (agreeableness and conscientiousness). Gratitude accounted for significant additional variance in environmental mastery, personal growth, self-acceptance, life satisfaction, and happiness after controlling for the personality factors as well. These findings suggested the relationships of gratitude to psychological well-being, subjective well-being, and personality factors, and supported the notion that gratitude had a unique relationship with well-being.

The sample consisted of 327 undergraduate students (148 males ,179 females) of Shahid Chamran University located in Ahvaz. The participants were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. The participants completed the Big Five Factor Personality Scale (FFPS; Goldberg, 1999), the Self-Esteem Scale (SES; Rosenberg, 1965) and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS; Ryff, 1989). The results indicated that the traits of extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness (P&lt;0.01) and conscientiousness (P&lt;0.001) had direct and positive effects on the psychological well-being, and the trait of neuroticism (P&lt;0.001) had direct and negative effect on the psychological well-being. The big five factor personality indirectly related to more psychological well-being through self-esteem. The findings suggest that self-esteem play a mediatory role between big five factor personality and psychological well-being.

        The&nbsp;aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of empathy in the relationship between parent's social health and psychological capital and prosocial behavior in adolescents. In this descriptive-correlational study, 369 adolescent high school students (within the age range of 15-18) in Tehran (180 girls and 189 boys) were randomly selected using cluster sampling method. They subsequently filled Prosocial Behavior Scale (Penner, Fritzche, Craiger &amp; Freifeld, 1995) and Empathy Scale (Bryant, 1982). The parents (211 mother and 158 father) filled the Psychological capital Scale (Lutanz, Oliwi, Avolio &amp; Norman, 2007) and Social health Scale (Keye, 2004) questionnaires. Finally, data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. The results showed that high level of adolescents' empathy and high levels of social health and psychological capital of parents would increase the possibility of prosocial behavior in adolescents. On the other hand, empathy mediates the relationship between social health and the psychological capital of parents and the adolescents&rsquo; prosocial behavior. Findings indicates the importance of setting educational programs for promoting empathy and paying attention to the important role of parents as influential factors on adolescents in order to increase prosocial behavior. This factor plays a decisive role in reducing future problems such as antisocial behavior and delinquency in adolescents. Manuscript profile

Positive psychological functioning was inversely related to psychophysical symptoms. Acculturation specific and general hassles were positively associated with psychophysical symptoms, and acculturation specific hassles predicted psychophysical symptoms better than did general hassles. Positive psychological functioning moderated the effect of general, but not acculturation specific, hassles on psychophysical symptoms. Manuscript profile

        This study examined the mediating and moderating role of child temperament in the relationship between marital conflict and the child's affective-behaviorals symptoms, physical and psychosocial health. 220 female and 193 male elementary school students (fifth grade) were selected using stratified random sampling. Their mother were administered the O'Leary-Porter Overt Hostitility Scale (Porter &amp; O'Leary, 1980), the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (Putnam, Ellis &amp; Rothbart, 2001), and the Child Health Questionnaire-Parent Form (Landgraf &amp; Abetz, 1996). In addition, mothers and teachers of the students completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997). Regression analysis of data indicated that marital conflict and child temperment were predictors of child psychopathological symptoms and health. Marital conflict was positively correlated with negative temperament, and negatively correlated with positive temperament. The moderating role of child's positive temperaament and effortful control in marital conflict and child health was posited, as well as the mediating effect of child temperament in the relation between marital confict and child behavioral symptoms.

        The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between attachment and adjustment with the mediating role of self-esteem. Our research method was correlational research based on path analysis method. The statistical population were consisted of 225 students of Shiraz high schools (102 female and 123 male) that were chosen by multistage sampling. The means were the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (Armesden &amp; Greenberg, 1987), Bell Adjustment Inventory (1961) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965). For data analysis we used path analysis. The results showed that attachment to mother and peer effectively predict self-esteem. Attachment to mother directly predicted subscales of home and social adjustment. Also, attachment to father could directly predict the affectional adjustment as well as home adjustment, and Peer attachment predicted directly the social adjustment. Furthermore, self-esteem had significant relationships with other dimensions of adjustment. Other findings revealed the mediating role of self-esteem on the relationship between attachment style and psychological adjustment. So, it can be concluded that attachments style and self-esteem, are two important components in prediction of adjustment in adolescents. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        &nbsp;The purpose of this study was to investigate the Antecedents and consequences of developmental assets based on structural equation modeling. For this purpose, 511 third-year students from Hamedan high schools (256 males and 255 females) were selected by multistage random cluster sampling. The participants completed the Perceived Social Support Scale) Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet &amp; Farley, 1988), The Developmental Assets Profile (Search Institute, 2005) and Ryff&rsquo;s Psychological Well-being Scale (1989). Data were analyzed using structural equation modelling. The hypothesized model showed good fit in research population. The results showed that the mediating role of developmental assets in the relationship of perceived social support and psychological well-being is significant and positive, and the proposed model explains 57 percent of the variance of psychological well-being among students. Based on the findings of this study, it was found that the effect of perceived social support on psychological well-being is more indirect than direct, and is through developmental assets. Consequently, with the increase of perceived social support, it is possible to improve the amount of developmental assets and psychological well-being of students. Manuscript profile

        &nbsp; Dyslexia is a disorder that affects reading and spelling, but in fact, poor spelling is often described as the hallmark of dyslexia. Unfortunately, researchers have focused mainly on reading interventions and equal emphasis on timely interventions on spelling has been neglected. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a multi-component spelling instruction in 4 students with specific learning disorder in spelling in an ABA design. Intervention was presented in 12 sessions and data were analyzed using visual analysis and quantitative methods by R software. Non-overlap of all pair's analysis (NAP) confirmed a significant increase in the spelling performance of 4 participants compared to baseline. In addition, findings did not show a significant reduction in participants' performance between the intervention phase and the maintenance phase (A2). Findings of this study seem promising to provide a multicomponent approach to treatment of multi-component deficits in specific learning disorders. &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

Data were analyzed using multivariate analyses and chi square tests. Results showed a significant interaction effect of occupation and income on the psychological distress subscale of mental health. The relations between the level of education and two subscales of mental health (psychological well-being and distress) were significant, but between the level of education and physical health was not significant. Women as compared to men, showed lower levels of psycho- logical well-being and higher levels of psychological distress. But no gender differences were found in physical health. By confirming the relationship between mental health and socioeconomic status, the present research can be helpful in devising preventive policies and programs for promoting public health.

        This study aimed to develop a university students&rsquo; comprehensive psychological empowerment package and to determine&nbsp;its effectiveness onhealth-oriented academic lifestyle behaviors. With a quasi-experimental study, 36 students in the experimental group (18 subjects) and control group (18 subjects) before and after training, responded to the health-oriented academic lifestyle facilitator/preventive questionnaire (Salehzadeh, Shokri &amp; Fathabadi, 2017a). The experimental group received 10 sessions of the empowerment package (2 hours a session). The results indicated that the psycho-educational package was effective in increasing the rate of referrals to behaviors such as academic optimism, academic engagement, and academic resilience, and in decreasing the rate of referrals to behaviors such as learned helplessness, avoidance of help-seeking, passive aggression, self-handicapping, avoidance of effort, academic dishonesty and maladaptive perfectionism. The findings suggest that attempting to enhance the interpersonal skills of the participants by helping them to expand their psychological capital and their psychosocial resources such as optimism, coping behaviors, resilience, psychological control, self-esteem, ambiguity tolerance and social support, and subsequent empowerment of individuals to reduce stressful experiences, adaptation to negative events and maintain satisfactory relationships with other, mayresult in mental immunization in students.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) training on the levels of anxiety during the pregnancy period and on newborns&rsquo; physiological parameters. This study was a semi experimental pretest-posttest with a control group. Thirty primiparous pregnant women who referred to the health clinics of Kermanwere selected using convenient sampling. The participants were randomly assigned into either experimental or control group. The data were collected using the Pregnancy Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ; Vandenberg, 1990) and the newborns&rsquo; physiological parameters (weight, height, head circumference and Apgar score). The experimental group received 12 sessions of CBSM training. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance indicated that the anxiety scores of CBSM group significantly decreased in the posttest stage in comparison with the pretest stage and the scores of control group. There was no significant difference in physiological parameters between the two groups. These findings suggested the effectiveness of CBSM training during pregnancy in reducing the levels of anxiety. Therefore, pregnant women can benefit from psychological interventions such as stress management based on cognitive-behavior therapy in the medical and health centers. Manuscript profile

        The rate of middle age burnout in human professions and its causal factors were studied. The sample consisted of 1473 middle age adults working in Boniad-e-Shahid and Isargaran Foundation from eight provinces of Iran who were selected by stratified random sampling. The participants completed a demographic form, the MaslachBurnout Inventory (MBI; Maslach&amp; Jackson, 1981), and a researcher-made burnout factors inventory. Findings indicated that 47%, 24%, and 29% of participants had high, moderate, and low levels of burnout, respectively. The differences between participants' levels of burnout were significant in all burnout factors. The differences between participants with high and low record of services were significant in all of the burnout subscales (emotional exhaustion,depersonalization, and loss of personal accomplishment) but were not significant in total burnout scale. The effects of workload, control, rewards and values system factors on burnout rate were significant. Implications of these findings in relation to prevention and treatment of middle age burnout as a potential event during psychological development process in human professional contexts were discussed. &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of teaching psychological resilience on positive and negative affect and life satisfaction in adolescence. The research methodology was quasi-experimental with an experimental group and pretest-posttest control group design and a 2 month follow-up stage. 50 adolescent girls and their mothers were selected via convenience sampling method. The girls were from a high school in Tehran. The psychological resilience training program (Steinhardt and Dolbier, 2008) was taught to the mothers of the experimental group by group training in a weekly two-hour session for seven weeks, and the adolescents in 2 groups responded in 3 stages to the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark &amp; Tellegen, 1988) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen &amp; Griffin, 1985).&nbsp;Data were analyzed by ANOVA with repeated measure. The results showed that the psychological resilience training program for mothers had an effect on positive and negative affect, and life satisfaction of their adolescents, and the effect has remained intact in the follow-up stage. The psychological resilience program can lead to mental immunity by enhancing positive thinking, emotional management skills, and self-empowering cognitive interpretations, and &nbsp;decreasing self-destructive cognitive interpretations and eventually by improving interpersonal skills among adolescents.

        This study examined the mediating effect of achievement emotions on the relationship between goal orientations and psy- chological capital with academic well-being and health-oriented academic lifestyle promoting/reducing behavirs amonn male and female gifted students. 366 students (182 male and 184 female) responded to the Achievement Goal Questionnainre-Revised (AGQ-R, Elliot &amp; Murayama, 2008), Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ, Luthans, Avolio, Avey &amp; Norman, 2007), Achievement Emotions Questionniare-Revised (AEQ-R, Abdollahpour, 1394), Health-Oriented Academic LifeStyle Pro- moting/Reducing Behaviors Questionnaire (HALSP-RBQ), School Engagement Inventory (SEI, Salmela-Aro &amp; Upadaya, 2012), School Burnout Inventory (SBI, Salmela-Aro, Kiuru, Leskinen &amp; Nurmi, 2009). Results indicated that for total sampel and for male and female gifted students, the partially mediated model of achievement emotions on the relationship between goal orientations and psychological capital with academic well-being and health-oriented academic lifestyle promoting/reducing behavirs had good fit to data. The results of the group specificity of structural relations showed that the hypothesized relationships were equivalent for both groups. In sum, on the one hand, these results showed that achievement goal theory in learners played an important role in ex- plaining adaptive and maladaptive acheivement-oriented efforts. On the other hand, the complementary feature of the psychological capital construct was able to push the conceptual boundaries of motivation contemporary theories. Manuscript profile

        this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of Respectful Listening to Children package on promoting mothers&rsquo; psychological well-being. Forty two mother- child dyads were selected by available sampling method from a preschool setting in Tehran. The lack of psychological and behavioral disorders were examined in the participants: The children completed the CBCL (Achenbach &amp; Rescorla, 2001) and the mothers completed the GHQ (Goldberg &amp; Hillier, 1979).The participants were randomly assigned into either the experimental or control group. The mothers in both groups completed the Warwick- Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (2008) at three stages of pre-test, post-test ,and two-month follow up. The mothers in the experimental group received the respectful listening to children package. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance with mixed procedure (between groups and within groups). The results indicated&nbsp; that in pre-test stage scores of psychological well-being in the two groups were not so different whereas in post-test stage scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than the scores of the control group, and&nbsp; the differences&nbsp; maintained&nbsp; after two month follow up. The findings suggested that interventions based on mother-child relationship, especially effective listening to children, may be used in promoting mothers&rsquo; psychological well-being, and in preventing future problems in children. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Psychological Resilience Training Program on health behaviors and psychological well-being among university students. In this true-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control-group design in a company with a follow-up stage, 60 university students were in experimental (30 students) and control (30 students) groups. Before and after training, they responded to the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (Walker, Sechrist &amp; Pender, 1995) and the Scales of Psychological Well-Being-Short Form (Ryff, 1989). The experimental group received 10 Psychological Resilience Training Program sessions (2 hours a session). The results statis- tical procedure of simple mixed ANOVA, indicated that the Psychological Resilience Training Program was effective in increasing or promoting health-oriented behaviors such as health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations with others, and stress management. Also, this program was effective in the scales of psychological well-being such as independence, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. These findings suggest that the Psychological Resilience Training Program by reducing or eliminating maladaptive thinking patterns such as selective abstraction, overgeneralization, black-white thinking, person- alization, and the enrichment of interpersonal relationship skills could result in mental immunization among university students.

        The mediating role of perceived parental acceptance as related to spousal acceptance and its psychological outcomes was investigated. 120 married female students selected from Tehran universities completed the Intimate Partner AcceptanceRejection &amp; Control (Rohner &amp; Khaleque, 2005), Parental Acceptance- Rejection and Control (Mother and Father version; Rohner &amp; Khaleque, 2005) and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (Rohner &amp; Khaleque, 2005). Results revealed that paternal, maternal and acceptance-rejection and behavioral control each independently and significantly predict psychological adjustment, however, only paternal and spouse acceptance, and behavioral control of father significantly predicted psychological adjustment after the effect of other variables in women were controlled. Also, the behavioral control of mother and spouse was no more significantly predictive of psychological adjustment of women than their acceptance and rejection. The results posit that although the parental role in psychological adjustment of women is significant but spouse acceptance could moderate its effects, especially the mother&rsquo;s role. Therefore, future experiences could alter the effects of perceived parental acceptance-rejection. Manuscript profile

        The&nbsp;aim of this study was to explain personal responsibility and academic buoyancy based on parental psychological control. Participants were 313 junior and senior high school students from Firoozabad city, in 1396-1397 academic year. They were selected by random cluster sampling. They answered Dependency-oriented and Achievement-oriented Psychological Control (Soenens etal, 2010), Personal Responsibility (Mergler &amp; Shield, 2016), and Academic Buoyancy (Hosseinchari &amp; Dehghanizadeh, 1391) Scales. To study the reliability and validity of the instruments, Alpha Cronbach coefficients and factor analysis were used. The results of simultaniuous regression analysis showed&nbsp;the component of cognitive control and personal&nbsp;accountability was predicted positively by conditional parental regard and negatively by&nbsp;achievement-based control. Emotional - behavioral control was predicted by dependence on parents. About academic buoyancy, it was found that parental&nbsp;achievement-based control predicted academic buoyancy negatively. Regarding&nbsp;gender as a moderator,&nbsp;results showed that in girls, dependence on parents predicted&nbsp;both components of&nbsp;personal responsibility&nbsp;negatively while in boys, conditional parental regard predicted&nbsp;cognitive control&nbsp;and&nbsp;personal&nbsp;accountability positively. Academic buoyancy in girls was positively predicted by parental&nbsp;achievement-based control and in boys positively by conditional parental regard and negatively by dependence on parents. According to these findings, conditional parental regard, due to the emphasis on behavior and its consequences, has increased personal responsibility among students. But, in parental&nbsp;achievement&nbsp;-based control, because of the emphasis on performance above the standard and ability beyond the cognitive development of the students, personal responsibility decreased. Besides, dependence on parents in behaving and problem solving, weakens behavioral and emotional control.&nbsp;Achievement&nbsp;-based control weakens academic buoyancy by causing stress and anxiety and inducing emotions such as guilt and shame.

Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data.The results indicated that psychological well-being positively related to self-compassion and religiousness. The psychological well-being negatively related to death anxiety. The results of stepwise regression analysis indicated that over-identification, personal help, mindfulness, isolation, death anxiety, self-judging and Islamic rituals accounted for 59% of variances of psychological well-being. The findings suggested that psychological well-being in elderly people may be increased by strengthening self-compassion and religiosity and weakening death anxiety. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fish displacement using fishing net and fish pump on the apparent characteristics and blood factors of Sparus aurata fishes in Tiyab Pran Qeshm workshop. The statistical population consisted of 1500 fish with an average weight of 10 g. In the control group, fish were kept calm and were not subjected to any tension and pressure. The second group consisted of a treatment in which the displacement was carried out using fishing net and the third group was the treatment in which a fish pump was used for transferring the fish. Regarding the hematological parameters, the highest number of red blood cells (1.49) and white blood cells (46.91) in cubic millimeters were recorded in fish samples displaced using the fish pump. Similarly, the maximum amount of lactate (58.66) and cortisol (1.32) in ng / ml, glucose (64.01 mg / dl) and chlorine (130.55 &mu;m) were obtained in the treatment using the fish pump. The results of the study showed that the tensions that were introduced to the fish while using the fish pump were more compared with the treatment using fishing net (p &lt;0.05). However, the use of the fish pump caused less mechanical damage and less fish mortality, and more fish could be displaced using this method and during transfer fish did not suffer from lack of oxygen, as they were in the water during the transfer, and received enough oxygen. Therefore, displacement of fish with a fish pump, taking into account the necessary measures to reduce stress, can be considered as reliable methods for transferring more fish from acceptable mechanical damage.

        In this study, the ecological potential of tourism and protection of the land and offshore section of Nayband National Marine Park, in the southeastern part of the Kangan city in Bushehr province was evaluated. Therefore, after identifying the environmental resources of the area, investigation and preparation of required maps using Landscape Ecology Method using Geographic Information System (GIS) was started. Using national and international criteria, ecological potential of the region for recreational activities was assessed and by overlaying of maps, suitable recreation areas were identified for both land and offshore regions. Two levels (levels 1 and 2) were identified for the land sector and 1 level for the offshore area. Taking into account the growing of the economic development around the region and considering the location of the protected and sensitive areas within the study area, the recreational package was finalized. After zoning and determining the uses of protected areas, based on the information obtained from the identification of biophysical and socioeconomic resources, the zones were presented to supplement the objectives of management and planning of programs at three levels of long term (25 to 50 years), medium term (5-25 years) and short term (5 years), of the national park. Due to the increase of the immigrant population in the region, and limited capacity of the park for recreational activities, the national park will not answer this volume of tourists. Therefore, two categories were set for the program, the first category was the removal of recreational activities from the National Marine Park of Nay Band to the areas outside the park with a higher priority and the second category was organizing the recreational activities of the park.

Results showed that white blood cells count (WBC) decreased significantly with &nbsp;the increase of copper concentration (P&lt;0.05). Red blood cells count (RBC) showed no significant difference (P&gt;0.05). Hemoglobin (Hb) levels was decreased with the increase of copper concentration and time (P&lt;0.05). Hematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) were decreased significantly (P&lt;0.05) with the increase of time. Triglyceride level changed significantly (P&lt;0.05), but cholesterol level didnot. Glucose levels changed significantly with the increase of copper concentration in 12 and 24 hours (P&lt;0.05). Total protein levels decreased significantly at 5 mg/L treatment in 24 hours. Differential count of leukocyte showed significant decrease in lymphocyte and monocyte and significant increase in neutrophil. Based on these results, copper induced significant changes in many blood indices and showed acute toxicity in Silver Carp. Therefore, this species has a low resistance to copper toxicity. &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

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

        Background and objectives: Nowadays, bacteria are widely used to recover copper from waste, ore, and concentrate. It is very important to understand bacterial performance in relation to materials with different mineralogy in order to select appropriate bacteria and improve bioleaching processes with high performance. As a consequence, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of smelter dust and flotation concentrate mineralogy on copper recovery from the materials using mesophilic bacteria. Materials and Methods: The effect of processing material mineralogy on biological extraction of copper was investigated using a couple of material with different mineralogy, metallurgical dust and concentrate of Sarcheshmeh copper complex. Bioleaching experiments were performed by using mixed culture of A. ferrooxidans, A. thiooxidans and L. ferrooxidans from Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine in shaker utensils. Results: Metallurgical dust mostly contained secondary sulphides products such as chalcocite and covellite, and concentrate mostly contained primary sulphides product such as chalcopyrite. The extraction rate of copper was achieved 0.835 g/L/day and 0.403 g/L/day from dust and concentrate, respectively. Also, kinetic studies showed that the rate constants of dust and concentrate were 0.125 day-1 and 0.010 day-1, respectively. Conclusion: The impact of mineralogical characteristics of the material on bioleaching operations was significant. Due to highly solubility rates of secondary sulphides, recovery rate and a higher overall copper recovery was obtained from dust in comparison to concentrate. Chalcopyrite oxidation was stopped at relatively low amounts (about 44%) and additional bioleaching time have not been improve it. The experiments showed that standard mesophilic culture at 35 &deg; C was very successful in bioleaching of secondary sulfide minerals, but bioleaching of primary copper sulfide minerals especially chalcopyrite by&nbsp; the culture was not effective.

        Background and Aim: In the recent past, it was believed that the legal system, unlike physical damages, could not measure mental suffering or internal anxiety, and therefore such damages could not be compensated. Courts were reluctant to issue compensation in cases that resulted in emotional harm without causing physical harm. In modern times, this belief has changed fundamentally, and psychological damage is the same as real physical damage and can be caused by physical actions. Of course, this does not mean that the law accepts any moral damages and orders compensation.Method: The present study was conducted by descriptive-analytical method.Findings and Results: One of the cases to consider is when a person suffers from psychological injuries, but this injury is not due to physical injuries, but as a result of seeing or hearing the news of injuries to another person suffers psychological damage. The material presented in this article concludes that in fact a person who suffers from abnormal sad reactions due to the loss of a loved one is entitled to compensation from the reader whose carelessness was the direct cause of such complications.

        Folkloric literature has a great importance in knowledge of every culture.&nbsp; Folklore literature comes from the root of society. It is clear that if people use folklore voluntarily then it will be said that it is the manifestation of society. Sentences written on mirrors, back and body of vehicles are among folklores. These written manuscripts are actually the gist of beliefs, wishes and desires of theirs owners. Some of these sentences are innovative. Car written manuscripts are part of culture and folklore of people so, by studying them, culture of ordinary people can be detected. Also, by studying of this literature, the nostallogic emotions will increase. Drivers or car owners gives help the verses to express of their feelings and ideas so, they can communicate in this way with ordinary people without considering the style of poems.

        Abstract In recent years, the support of corporate governance has attracted the attention of capital market regulatory bodies, including the stock exchange. In this regard, the corporate governance index has been taken into consideration as a monitoring tool for companies so that companies that better comply with corporate governance mechanisms can be distinguished from companies that do not comply with these mechanisms. On this basis, companies should try to improve these mechanisms and take more effective steps to create more efficiency and value and thus improve the conditions of the capital market. In this research, an attempt is made to use a new index under the title of fuzzy corporate governance index, and according to expert opinion and formulation of fuzzy inference rules, three fuzzy expert systems have been designed to evaluate corporate governance criteria. Also, the data related to 160 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange as a sample have been collected and their data has been processed using the aforementioned fuzzy systems. The output of the first system shows the quality of the ownership index and transparency in the sample companies. The output of the second system shows the quality of the board structure index and finally the output of the third system shows the quality of corporate governance in the mentioned companies. The results of these evaluations are shown in a list of the weakest and best companies in terms of ownership and transparency, the structure of the board of directors, and the quality of corporate governance.

        پرسش اساسی پژوهش این است که آیا فقط نام اصطلاحات در منطق سهروردی با منطق مشاء فرق دارد یا او دیدگاههای متفاوت با مشاء نیز داشته است؟ به عبارت دیگر نوآوری‌های شیخ اشراق در منطق چیست؟ منطق معرفی شده شیخ اشراق ساده‌تر است؛ چراکه او از جمله دانشمندانی است که در منطق نگاری، از نظام دوبخشی ابن سینا تبعیت نموده است. بررسی نظام فکری سهروردی از جمله اندیشه‌های منطقی او که تاکنون به طریقی نظام یافته بررسی نشده است، رهیافتی برای رسیدن به این هدف است. با روشی عقلی - تحلیلی در منطق سهروردی می توان گفت که او سعی داشته تا با نگرش خاص خود به بازسازی نظام منطق ارسطو اقدام کند. او بر منطق اشکالاتی وارد کرده که می‌توان به اشکال بر نظریه تعریف ارسطوئی، عکس، کیفیت و کمیت قضایا، قیاس ارسطوئی و اشکال چهارگانه آن اشاره کرد. در این منطق بیشتر سعی شده تا به کلیات پرداخته شود؛ وی برخی قسمتهای منطق ارسطوئی مانند کلیات خمس و مقولات را از دایره منطق خارج دانسته است. در باب مغالطات نیز نظر وی این است که باید با دیدی کاربردی به آنها نگریست و دایره آن را به مباحث فلسفی می‌کشاند. درنهایت می‌توان گفت منطقی که سهروردی پیشنهاد کرده تنها در نظام فلسفی وی معنا دارد. در منطق اسلامی، اکثر منطق‌دانان به همان منطق ارسطویی بسنده کرده و به منطق اشراق توجه کمتری شده است، در حالی که طبق نظر سهروردی شناخت کامل فلسفه اشراق منوط به شناخت منطق اشراقی است.

        The main end of epistemological discussions from the point of view of philosophers is the attainment of certainty and truth. From this point of view, different philosophers, with different views and ideas, have always tried to establish a basis for achieving the desired result. Mulla Sadra and Descartes are among the most sought-after. Both Mulla Sadra and Descartes have made the deduction the tool of their epistemological theory and consider the possibility of attaining certainty in this way possible. While sharing this view, the differences between the two regarding this issue should be noted that Mulla Sadra's deduction is Aristotelian deduction based on facial logic, but in Descartes' epistemic logic it is more concerned with the logic of matter and the relation between facts. And not merely from the perspective of the relationship of the concepts studied. It is noteworthy that Mulla Sadra's view as an deduction underlies the arguments of Aristotelian face logic and tradition, because of the real and objective rules and laws in which both senses and rationales are used, in contrast to Descartes's view that his meaning is based on deduction. It builds on the logic of matter and focuses solely on recommendation and order, making it more acceptable and acceptable, at least in terms of evaluation. Manuscript profile

        Studies have shown that an effective relationship between doctor and patient can increase compliance to treatment prescriptions and improve health outcome and both doctor and patient's satisfaction, decrease hospitalization time, treatment costs, medical and drug mistakes and complaints against doctors. Lack of proper relationship between doctor and patient leads misunderstanding, lack of complying from doctors' recommendation, lack of satisfaction and other undesirable outcomes. The type of this relationship depends on conditions of cooperation and doctors-patient's beliefs about the desirable position of responsibility and power. So far, several studies have been done on this topic. Although Martin Buber, twentieth century philosopher never wrote anything directly about medicine, his "dialogical philosophy", in particular the distinction he had between the two ways human beings could deal with, namely "I ـ It relation", which requires an active, determining subject and a passive, determined object and "I ـ Thou relationship", in which both parties are equal partners since both are simultaneously active and passive, we can learn much about the nature of doctor-patient relationship.

        Gradation of being as one of the basic principles of Sadra's metaphysics has played an important role in refining and explaining the structure of transcendental wisdom and brought requirements and results in the field of ontology and epistemology. Considering that there are different perceptions of Gradation in transcendental theosophy and different conceptual patterns of it can be drawn, which if attributed any of them to Mulla Sadra, his epistemological views will be affected. It is fundamental in nature, explaining the most consistent model of Sadra's Gradation with his epistemological foundations is based on the method of grounded theory. The methodology of the text has descriptive-analytical nature and while using library documents and resources and interviewing several experts, contextual, causal, intervening and epistemological implications of the two models were designed and studied. Samples were selected through purposive sampling and the information obtained was coded and analyzed by using the grounded theory method. Findings showed that the pattern of Gradation in levels and the pattern of Gradation in manifestations, with differences in underlying, causal and intervening factors, have the same epistemological requirements and results.s.

        Although Wittgenstein is known as one of the opponents of philosophical skepticism, some aspects of his epistemology in the picture theory of language and the philosophy of ordinary language have nihilistic features. According to Wittgenstein's linguistic attitude, these features are intertwined with his semiotics and metaphysics and are inseparable. This article examines the nihilistic tendencies in Wittgenstein's semiotics and metaphysics and analyzes the nihilistic features in his epistemology. From Wittgenstein's point of view, the sign cannot refer to an extraterrestrial world, to us, to the other, or to philosophical implications. He denies the possibility of research in metaphysics: in Tractatus because of the limitations of logic, in PI because of the non-application of metaphysical expressions, and in On Certainty because of inevitability of the linguistic frameworks governing doubt and certainty. Accordingly, in a logical space, nothing is really recognizable because cognition is confined to meta-logic. Cognition is completely relative, temporal, and contextual, because our world is only a possible world, and not just the world that exists. However, Wittgenstein does not say that cognition is absolutely impossible, but that cognition is a function of our logic and linguistic play, and not directly a function of the things or facts. Now, although logic and linguistic play are not unrelated to the fact, this does not mean that they reflect reality. Manuscript profile

        Hermeneutics has been defined as "interpreting". Hermeneutics has faced many differences and conflicts in its tumultuous history, and the views of theorists on the mission of hermeneutics and its realm have varied widely. One of the most controversial issues in hermeneutics, which has even led to a fundamental shift in hermeneutic issues, was the ontological view of understanding, as regarded by Heidegger and Gadamer. They did not know the truth, as in previous periods, through the presentation of methods can be achieved. Philosophical hermeneutics believed in subjectivism; Prior to the emergence of this view, hermeneutics such as Schleiermacher and Delta sought to find a way to understand and to understand the correctly in terms of author and objectivity will be possible. Although ontological approach to the understanding of discourse are considered by many of twenty century philosophers, It also has been faced the criticism. Emilio Betty Warrick Hirsch defended objectivism in understanding texts with a critical and methodological view of understanding. This methodological approach is called methodological hermeneutics and the ontological approach is called philosophical hermeneutics. In this article, we try to explain the objectivist methodological hermeneutics through a library method and, referring to Heidegger and Gadamer's views, address the most important critiques of Hirsch in the subjective approach of philosophical hermeneutics.

        Our understanding of changes that occurred in Popper's thought on biological evolution can help us to discover some neglected aspects of his philosophical system. The article argues that some of Popper's epistemological views have changed over his intellectual life on his attitude towards evolution. These intellectual changes have been occurred from the belief in the possibility of not using truth and falsehood in his initial opinions, to emphasizing the issue of truth and truthfulness in his middle career, and finally moving more and more from a proposition-oriented perspective to non-propositional evolutionary perspectives in his late life. In later Popper, we see a mature evolutionary perspective that is original, and completely different from his earlier reading of Darwinism. These changes have consequences for Popper's thought system, especially in the field of epistemology. On the other hand, the originality of Popper&rsquo;s reading of Darwinism is rooted in some of his philosophical thoughts. Per Popper's view adaptation is produced as the result of a problem-solving process and biological evolution is the product of an epistemological process. The article is an attention to the reconstruction of Popper's philosophical system in the light of his understanding of his invented reading of evolution; a reading that is conform to some of the new developments in evolutionary biology.

        Hubert Hermans and Kempen formed the core of the Dialogical Self theory. According to Hermans, the Dialogical Self as a psychological-cultural concept and ability significantly impacts the course of conversation. We intend to examine the place of this flow in religious experience. This flow considers the world within the individual among the experiences of different religions as a community of relatively independent situations as an imaginary landscape based on the outside world. The Dialogical Self theory pays attention to imagined situations from a position beyond and overlooking them. despite the existence of the conditions affecting the dialogue of religions, the existence of an unconditional acceptance in the approach of pluralism, Credibility, and the issue of imposition in connection with a supposed religious experience, the Dialogical Self-theory, while taking into account and focusing on my experience and that of others, it can have a more comfortable and convincing acceptance of what I have experienced and what could be experienced. Also, considering the indirect conditions affecting religious experience, it can imagine more detailed, complex, and realistic religious situations and analyze them from a more comprehensive perspective. This theory, first place, can have a more realistic confrontation with the ambiguous and complicated experience attributed to the truth of religion in the individual. Second, we can relate religious identities to different situations within a person. The third case is its effect on the flourishing of a person's spiritual capacity. Manuscript profile

        Developing identity, internal consistency, external dependency and methodological limitations are the four main agent for epistemological relativism. According to Allameh Tabatabaie, relativism is inconsistent with the truth of knowledge. Relativism in the final analysis leads to the Sophism and denial of science. According to Allameh, philosophy is an instrument for the rational discourse among all human beings and human perception begins with the senses, his approach to the epistemology much more will be questioned of relativism. In this article, his approach to the relativity of knowledge will be examined on the basis of irrefutable principles. They are principles that their denial requires their approving. Reality and Knowledge are two irrefutable principles. Based on these principles, we can answer to the sophism and relativism. The immaterial truth of Knowledge; and retuning the acquired knowledge (ilm husuli) to the knowledge by presence (ilm huzuri) connect the knowledge to the reality and come to know the world in the world methodologically. These four principles are pillars of Tabatabaie&rsquo;s approach to the epistemological relativism. Manuscript profile

        Diplomacy has a special place in solving international conflicts. Rather than looking for military solutions in conflict zones, countries will look for less expensive ways. Official diplomacy generally plays the role of promoting peace in the situation of disputes, conflict and war, but countries in conflict, where there is no way to promote official diplomacy between them, choose another path of diplomacy, which is called path two diplomacy. This type of diplomacy is used for countries in conflict in areas where formal diplomacy becomes virtually impossible due to the high degree of sensitivity resulting from a worldview different from the other&#039;s ontological security and lack of trust. Diplomacy is the path of two titles that has been known in the last few decades and has been used with positive results in some regions and countries involved in conflict. In this article, while defining and explaining the meaning of track two diplomacy, we examine its function as well as its opportunities and limitations in international crises. The hypothesis of this research is based on the fact that the use of two-way diplomacy will be the best form of diplomacy to resolve disputes between governments involved in crisis. This is a research-theoretical article, and for this reason, it will be a guide for researchers&#039; case studies. The research method in this article is explanatory and analytical.

In response, the authors validate the hypothesis that "the emergence of new leaders with differing perceptions of previous generations has been a major factor in normalizing China's policies toward the United States." China led by Mao Zedong during the two decades (1960-50), despite adopting numerous economic and cultural programs, including the "Great Leap Forward" ,"the Walking on Two Legs ", "Cultural Revolution", and also foreign policy strategies Such as "relying on one hand", "Fighting with Two Fists" and "the idea of a world revolution" Not only did it not save China's densely populated country from poverty and isolation, but it increasingly led to poorer people and endangering the country's existence. The coincidence of these conditions with the resignation and subsequent death of Mao led the pragmatic faction led by Deng Xiao-Ping seize power. The new leadership and its associates found the continuation of previous policies for the Party's legitimacy and survival of China very risky, so the program of economic reform and the need to learn and exploit international opportunities were placed on the government's agenda that one of the it's important aspects were normalizing relations with the United States.

        The strategic alliance between Iran and Syria is among those that have endured significantly in the past few decades. However, emergence of a new environment presents new challenges for the raison d'&ecirc;tre of alliances, which in turn, increases the possibility of their disintegration. Despite significant changes in the political environment of Iran and Syria in the early part of the first decade in 21st century, strategic alliance between these two regional players in the period between 2000 and 2011 has endured. Therefore the core question of this study is: what factors have been effective in the endurance of strategic alliance between Iran and Syria in the period between 2000 until 2011? Our findings in this study show that according to the theory of defensive realism espoused by Stephen Walt, the main factors in the continuance of Iran and Syria alliance according to importance are: ideological solidarity, institutionalization of cooperation and Preserving Credibility. However, hegemonic leadership and formation of security community had no role in this regard. The methodology of this study is descriptive-analytic and the method of data collection is based on library. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Over the recent years, expansion of neo-terrorist groups in the Middle East has shaped a wave of various security threats in the area. Although credible news has been published on downfall and destruction of organizational and logistical cores of these groups in Iraq and Syria, there are valid documents suggesting that scattered actions still continue by currents depended on ISIS. Various researches were carried out focusing on root causes of development of neo-terrorism and several measures were taken to confront terrorist acts. Nevertheless, at regional level, there is no effective experiment available on investigations and measures taken to identify the nature of insecurity. This is a qualitative research conducted with descriptive-analytic approach aimed at finding how did identity insecurity of Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia influence the development of neo-terrorism in the Middle East? According to the researcher, unrestrained prevention of biographic narration by Iran and Saudi Arabia , added to creating identity insecurity for both countries, triggered or exacerbated the anxiety caused by shame in credence and regional behavior of these actors, prevented earning honor policy, and in an unplanned manner, led to development of neo-terrorism in the region.

        Arab countries have tried to deal with the formation of the Zionist regime through four wars, and in this regard, several resolutions and peace plans have been issued by the United Nations and some governments to end this conflict, but In the end, the failure of the Arabs in front of Israel to the extent that even a part of the land of the Arab countries was occupied by the Zionist regime caused the Arab countries to give up their confrontational position with Israel and one after the other try to normalize their relations with Israel. Based on this, the main question of the current research has been raised as follows: What effect have the new developments in Arab-Israeli relations had on the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran from an ontological point of view? This hypothesis has been proposed that the new developments in Arab-Israeli relations by reducing the conditions of uncertainty, due to the reproduction of the previous self-understanding and the deepening of the constant and continuous understanding of the Islamic Republic of Iran's identity, priorities, goals and interests, will lead to the improvement of security. It has been systematized. The findings show that after the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Republic of Iran saw the relations between Arabs and Israel in conflict with its identity and has always tried to create divergence in the relations between Arabs and Israel.

        The present study mainly aims to model the individual investors' behavior in the capital market following the neural financial approach. The present study is categorized as mixed method research. The grounded theory and the technique of the structural equations were used in the qualitative and quantitative parts. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire. The sampling continued until theoretical saturation, which was achieved after 17 interviews. Then, the behavioral model of individual investors with antecedents and consequences was developed based on the systematic approach of Strauss and Corbin's theory in three main steps, including open, axial, and selective coding. The results indicated that the causal conditions affecting investors' behavior in the same contextual conditions are generally in two main groups of neuropsychological and demographic factors. In a quantitative part, it was found that neuropsychological factors are effective with an intensity of 79%. Among the components of this variable, emotional behavior and location had the most and the least impacts, respectively, and the demographic factors were effective with an intensity of 12%. Financial support and gender also had the most and the least impact among the components of this variable, respectively. Manuscript profile

Then, using 14 questionnaires, experts were asked to determine the causal relationships of these indicators. Finally, in order to explore the network of cause and effect relationships, to determine the degree of effectiveness and impact of each of the indicators and their prioritization, fuzzy hierarchical analysis, fuzzy dimtel approach and fuzzy TOPSIS were used. According to the results, capital risk is the most important indicator. This result indicates that this indicator is subject to severe changes during the holy month of Ramadan and it is necessary to pay attention to it. Then the indicators of trading volume, unsystematic risk, share return, liquidity risk and adjusted beta are important, respectively. Also, trading volume was recognized as the most effective indicator. Therefore, trading volume has a greater impact on other indicators.

        Though semantic and phonetic miracles of the text of the Qur'an have been explored, the rhythmic musical miracle of it and its biological effects have not been investigated. Library studies on examining the rhythm of words and the arrangement style and attributes of the letters of the Qur'an indicate the melodiousness of its verses. The purpose of this study is to point to the verbal miracle of Quran verses in the occurrence of biological states such as contraction and expansion fear and because vibrations are effective in changing listeners&rsquo; blood biochemistry and behavioral and spiritual states and can cause calmness or anxiety, elimination of some physical and mental illnesses, joy, crying, and listeners&rsquo; benefitting from the healing power of the Qur'an. These effects are manifested in blood pressure, complexion, and heart rate. The main question of the study was answered through analyzing the results of the questionnaire distributed among the 100 participants of the survey. to The study suggests that for strengthening self-control in the sense of piety, the culture of correct use of technical music knowledge should be explained to people and they should be helped to recognize reprehensible music through the symphonic rules of the universe so that they can enjoy the benefits of Quranic melodic religious music. Holding meetings with the presence of music professors and Quran reciters are recommended to explain the commonalities in order to warn people against vulgar or dubious jurisprudential music.

        &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Considering the verses of the Holy Quran, we come across the fact that man has two important and main dimensions, spiritual and&nbsp;physical. Either of these two dimensions can be healthy or ill. Just as there is a cure for human physical illness, there is also a cure for human mental illness. The Holy Quran has introduced its verses as a healing prescription of the human soul. In Qur'anic literature, mental or spiritual health is tied to the keyword "heart" and the healthy heart and the ill heart have been discussed. The fact that the Holy Qur'an calls a heart ill, it means that the heart definitely impairs the confidence and the endurance of the soul. The data of this article have been collected by library method and have been written in a descriptive-analytical manner. This article tries to examine Psycho-ideological illnesses from the point of view of the Qur'an with the aim of treating them. Tafsir al-Mizan, quoting Quranic verses, emphasizes that those who chose heresy in belief, and hypocrisy in practice do not have mental health, and the manifestation of heresy and hypocrisy is due to the weakness of faith in God, which results in a temperament appropriate to heretical morality. Allameh Tabatabai believes that man is a free and independent being and can consciously change direction and reform his ideas and thoughts. This will be possible when man resorts to God from the danger of sins and deviation and asks Him for infallibility and immunity. Tabatabai has not accepted the therapeutic effect of the Qur'an on physical pain but has accepted its therapeutic effect on mental and psychological pain; consequently, the Holy Qur'an is the cure for human Psycho-ideological illnesses and can heal illnesses such as heredity, hypocrisy, polytheism and the like. Therefore, Muslims should appreciate this divine blessing and use the gifts of the Holy Quran to achieve true happiness and salvation. Manuscript profile

        Iran is a vast country rich with energy resources. Perhaps, such unlimited energy resources were the reason to keep us in a dream of abundance, and as a result, neglecting justifiable energy conservation. Buildings are one of the main energy consumption and waste sources, and regretfully, still many of them are constructed violating modern engineering rules and solely through experimental and traditional methods. Air conditioning systems are still calculated and designed using estimation. However, we have to know such methods are obsolete in developed countries since ages ago, and we shall commence with a new determination and effort right away if we would like to reach the Global trend. Fortunately, many of the ways have been taken before us, and have certain instructions. In late 20th century and upon development of smart technologies, development of communication and internet networks, sensor networks and sensors, extensive efforts and studies started to use such group of technologies to present solutions to improve humans lives. Using IOT to control the house smartly has been one of the study fields during recent years. The suggested method tries to improve the house smart control for energy conservation. The used sensors are heat and humidity sensors with the duty of monitoring smart home. In this article we plan to suggest optimized smart method to control smart sustainable common home relays smartly. The sensors data is entered into the sustainable common home smart control system and is on/off considering the house relays smart systems algorithm. Manuscript profile

        One of the most critical question in understanding science of society is the issue of epistemological classification. In the other words, if we try to classify social sciences based on approaches, insights frameworks and subjects, then one of the most challenging questions is that whether sociology is tanternout to Jamehshenasi or knowledge of society or we are actually faced with another phenomenon which has not been accurately conceptualized in Iranian context. This is to argue, whether sociology is an art-like imagination or a natural from of science. But it should be noted that we should reread the concepts of "sociology" and "art" in a different fashion as the customary conceptualizations of sociology in terms of "Jameshenasi" suffer from fundamental shortcomings which have been less debated. On the other hand, we need to realize that sociology as an art-form is itself a problematical construction. Because 'art' in its current usage cannot express what we have in mind but we need to reread "art" as an insight beyond the common forms and modes of conceptualizations which are less discussed in social sciences in Iran. If we take sociology as a from of art then this could assist us in fathoming the social fact in a different fashion. Manuscript profile

        Despite the fact that emigration is one of the keywords and critical concepts in Islam, there is no comprehensive explanation of the concept in accordance with modern issues of a society. Therefore, the present research studies migration by considering the sociological and psychological aspects of this important issue from an Islamic perspective.According to Quran verses and Islamic traditions, migration can be of scientific, religious, fleeing from oppression, internal-divine kinds and, it is obligatory in any time when there are causes of and some philosophy for it. Islamic jurisprudence divided the world geographically into the abode of Islam and the abode of infidelity, based on which migration is classified into four groups of obligatory, recommended, permissible, and prohibited. This classification, particularly in contemporary period, has brought under focus the situation of Muslim minorities in non-Muslim countries. Motivations for migration from an Islamic perspective include relief and (psychological and sociological) security, promotion and expression of religious rituals, and education in other countries for providing the needs of an Islamic society. Islamic religion considered seriously the psychological issues of migration. This can be clearly traced back to individual and social interaction management among the Ansar group and migrators in Prophets&acute; time. Through founding Islamic system on the precepts of god which are found in divine revelations and rules, this individual and social management resulted in cordiality and brotherhood between the Ansar group and migrators.Migration policymaking in Iran should be done in accordance with Islamic basics and concepts on emigration and migration in such a way to profit all the members of an Islamic society.

The first step was to identify the evaluation criteria or the risks associated with the Islamic securities, which was carried out by the experts and a review of theoretical basics. The second step, is modeling of Islamic securities using adaptive-network-based fuzzy approach in which the mean error of the training of all main and subset models was below the threshold. The third step is to apply adaptive fuzzy neural network modeling in credit rating of Islamic securities. In order to do this, the issuer&rsquo;s ranking was used in the first stage and the results of the research showed that the issuer of the government had the least risk and private companies had the highest risk. In the second stage, for ranking financial instruments, the results showed that for issuer of government, treasury bonds had the lowest risk and forward bonds had the highest risk. For the issuer of state-owned companies, the forward bonds had the highest risk and lease bonds had the lowest risk. Manuscript profile

        In choosing the optimal portfolio, we must consider various criteria, some of which are determined by the nature of the optimization and some are determined by the investor's desire. Therefore, in this paper, multi-objective optimization models are designed and solved in MATLAB software environment. These models are designed in such a way that both the nature of the portfolio optimization, the considerations of the investor and the uncertain nature of the future return on assets, are taken into account. After designing the models in fuzzy and non-fuzzy (simple) conditions, due to their NP-HARD nature, a dedicated NSGA-II algorithm was used to solve it. After solving the models, the best portfolio from attained Pareto frontier, based on the Sortino ratio, be chosen. After that all of the obtained portfolios are compared according to the Treyner ratio. The results of statistical tests clearly show that the proposed models have a high power in choosing portfolios with maximum returns and a minimum risk. The results also indicate that that the designed models, with use of fuzzy logic in quadratic models creates more favorable results than simple models without using possibility theory and fuzzy logic.

        In this research, we study the effects of overconfidence of managers (one of behavioral bias) and its impact on companies&rsquo; risk policy from operational, financial and market perspectives. Due to weakness of existing modeks in describing psychological variables influencing overconfidence, first a justified model of overconfidence has been presented. To estimate model's parameters, random effects statistical model has been used. In this regard, a total of 98 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange have been studied. Years 1389 to 1394 (Hijri calendar) is the period of investigation. Since the t-test value of financial and business risk is greater than 1.965 and its significance level is also less than 0.5, linear correlation between the business and financial risk and overconfidence is approved. Also t-test value of market risk is lower than 1.965 and its significance level is higher than 0.5. So linear and significant relation between the market risk and manager overconfidence is rejected. As the final conclusion, results confirm significant relationships between overconfidence and financial risk management and also business risk management. In the meantime, a significant relationship between overconfidence and market risk has not been observed Manuscript profile

        The main goal of this research also explains the relationship between the types of HR risks with technological innovation in pharmaceutical. The statistical population of this study consists of two knowledgeable sections of the subject and managers of knowledge based pharmaceutical companies. The methodology used to examine the documents, interviews, and methodology for obtaining expert opinions and extraction of the native model in the knowledge-based companies studied were used. The results of this research indicate that among the most effective components of human resource risks, technological innovation has had the greatest impact on the risks of skills gaps and then financial risks, human resource operational risks, human capital risks and behavioral risks that were tested by tests Different stepwise regression and structural equation modeling with smartpls software were investigated and verified. Also, in the research phase, the greatest risk associated with skill skeletons, at the development stage, is the highest risk associated with human resource operational risks, and at the engineering stage, the greatest risk is related to behavioral risks. Knowledge companies that are in the engineering phase, in terms of the growth cycle of the company in the maturity stage, are likely to begin to grow at this stage of maturity in the face of future risks and reengineering of the system. For these companies, behavioral risks have shown their importance, paying attention to current values ​​and reviewing them, paying attention to current behavior among managers and employees, has shown great importance at this stage subsequently.

        Selection of appropriate time and price in trading stocks has an important role in investment decisions on profit and loss of investors in capital markets. Nonlinear intelligent systems, such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy- neural networks and genetic algorithms, would be used to forecast stock prices motions. In this article,a model of stock prices motions has been designed using Adaptive Neuro- Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)integrated with genetic algorithm, in which two different groups of fundamental and technical variables have been employed as model inputs. According to Model outputs,the rate of forecasting errors in both groups of inputs is not significant and these systems are able to forecast daily stock prices. The Mann-Whitney test has been used to measure the accuracy of models and it was found that there is no significant difference between results of prices forecasted in both methods. Both methods are able to forecast next day price with an insignificant error provided that at least one of the inputs in both methods has a linear dependence with price, .&nbsp; Also, results show that&nbsp; these systems do not work properly to forecast prices of high volatility stocks Manuscript profile

        One of the most important factors to evaluate how successful a R&amp;D process could be is, exposures in the raising level of the technological capabilities. In other words, the higher the technological capabilities and growth rates, the higher chances of successfulness in an organization. Considering this, the essentiality of measuring technological capabilities of an organization by evaluation of the R&amp;D effectiveness or calculation of the ultimate costs, which has been spent on the R&amp;D procedures, seems obvious and vital. Therefore, in this study, based on the previous studies and the extraction of factors affecting technological capabilities as well as identification of cause and effect loop, a dynamic model has been developed. Then, using DeMetal technique, the relationships between them and the effective coefficients are determined and included in the model. Finally, in order to examine the accuracy of the modelling and determination of both state and rate variable&rsquo;s behavior, data was gathered from eight science-based companies located at for knowledge-based companies applying for admission to the Securities and Exchange in a 24 months period. Analysis of the behavior of variables in these Informations not only showed the accuracy of the proposed model, but also confirmed its fluidity. Manuscript profile

        In recent decades, extensive studies have been conducted in environmental psychology, which investigates behavior considering human needs in the context of the physical environment and daily life. However, due to the lack of appropriate measure tools to apply the results in architecture, especially about housing, it has not helped much to increase the liveliness and subsequently improve the users of residential buildings' quality of life on a macro scale (society). Therefore, the question of current research is how the mechanism of the impact of architecture quality on the liveliness and improvement of residents' quality of life can be explained and how the results can be applied in practice. Thus, this study has purposefully considered the psychological concept of liveliness as one of the desirable human goals and operationally described it as a qualitative degree of the environment, using a qualitative method of meta-synthesis. Hence, an interdisciplinary systematic comprehension of the optimal design process and its resulting physical factors would be achieved, by using the principles of environmental psychology. It should meet the users' various needs to make the environment meaningful. As a result, creating positive levels of the sense of place affects the persons' feelings and behaviors, affording liveliness and high quality of life in the context of residential spaces as much as possible. In this regard, related physical factors were coded and analyzed in three macro-categories of spatial features, environmental affordances, and environmental attributes formulated in a theoretical model as an architectural strategy to realize liveliness. Moreover, the necessity, solutions, obstacles, and challenges of generalizing the results of the proposed model were discussed. Finally, it should be acknowledged that people's liveliness is significantly related to aspects of the relationship between man and his living physical environment, which can be improved by implementing the principles of environmental psychology in design.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership and psychological capital with organizational excellence of the Education Organization of Region 1 of Tehran. This applied research was a field data collection method and in terms of implementation method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population consisted of 600 employees of Tehran Region 1 Education Organization, who were selected as the sample size using Krejcie and Morgan table and relative stratified random sampling method. Data collection tools were standard questionnaires of transformational leadership Bass and Olivier (2000), Lutans psychological capital (2007), Deming organizational excellence (1979). The validity of these questionnaires was confirmed by experts and the reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (transformational leadership equal to 0.92 psychological capital equal to 0.91 organizational excellence equal to 0.89 percent). Descriptive (frequency and percentage calculation) and inferential (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression) were used to analyze the data using Spss26 software. The results showed that there is a relationship between transformational leadership and psychological capital with the organizational excellence of education. It also showed between the dimensions of transformational leadership (individual consideration, persuasion, inspirational motivation and ideal influence) with organizational excellence and between the dimensions of psychological capital (hope, resilience, optimism and Self-efficacy) is related to organizational excellence.

        To study the effects of amount and source of Fe on the form of oil and foliar application on yield and its components in oil seed sunflower ( variety Farrokh ), an experiment was performed in 8 treatments and 3 replications in complete randomized block design in Agricultural and Natural Resource Station in Khoy, W. Azarbaijan. The tests were respectively T1 : control ( non consuming ), T2 : 10 kg per hectare land consuming FeEDTA. T3 : two – phase solution spray. T4 : two-phase 10 in thousand FeEDTA solution spray. T5 : 10 kg per hectare Feso4 ×H2O land consuming. T6 : in thousand Feso4 ×H2O solution spray. T7: 10 kg per hectare Feso4 ×H2O land consuming and 5 in thousand FeEDTA solution spray. T8 : 50 kg per hectare Feso4×HO land consuming and 5 in thousand FeEDTA solution spray. After the analysis of variance about characteristics under evolution, it became clear that there was a significant difference between the sprig height, chlorophyll percentage, seed number of each tray, thousand seed weight, hollow area, oil percentage, and the biological yield of different tests. The maximum percentage of oil ( 40.247 ) and number of seeds in a tray ( 696 ) and chlorophyll ( 42.85 ) were found in T3 that had used Fe solution spray ( foliar )at the rate of 5 kg per hectare in two phases of star of hand and tray seeds filling, and the maximum yield seed ( 351.3 gr) and a thousand seed weight ( 62. 567 ) was found in T8 that had used 5 kg in hectare Feso4 × H2O land consuming and 5 kg in hectare FeEDTA solution spray and the maximum hollow area was for T1 control ( non consuming ) ( 34.107 mm ) and the minimum was for T4 that had used two-phase 10 in thousand FeEDTA solution spray ( 25.10 mm ). In general, most of the tests which had used Fe solution spray were placed in upper level than other tests which used land consuming or didn't use Fe in statistical group. So, to achieve the high yields and improve the quality of sunflower, consumption of Fe is recommended. Manuscript profile

        In this Paper ecological sustainability of cotton cultivation and factors affecting them during 2014 and 2015 were studied in the villages of Aq-Qala and Ali Abad Katul cities, Golestan province. The statistical community was cotton farmers of the two Regions. One hundred farmers were selected randomly and information about personal and professional characteristics as well as ecological properties of farms were collected through face to face interviews. The results showed that 10 and 41 percent of farms were described as unsustainable and relatively unsustainable, respectively, while only 3 percent of the farms studied were sustainable and 46% were classified as relatively sustainable. Therefore, based on the results, sustainability of the cotton fields investigated in this study was estimated as lower than average. In order to more analyze, factor analysis and stepwise regression were used. The results showed that 14 variables were loaded onto 4 factors and described 58% of total variance. Results of regression analysis showed that the "history of agriculture" affects in the ecological sustainability more than other variables, followed by "organic fertilizer", "weeding frequency" and "yield". The variables "number of irrigation", "amount of pesticide", "literacy level" and "mismanagement of residue" had a negative effect on the stability of the cotton production. Manuscript profile

        In order to study the effects of biological nutrition and irrigation managements on qualitative indices of fenugreek, an experiment was carried out in split plot based on a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications and 15 treatments at Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Azad University, Birjand, Iran, during growing season of 2010-2011. Experimental treatments included irrigation interval (in three levels including irrigation every 6, 9 and 12 days) and biofertilizer (in five levels including nitroxin, biosphere, and micorhyza fungi of G. mosseae, G. intraradices and control treatment or none fertilizer). Results of statistical analysis showed that irrigation treatments had a significant effect on physiological indices like carbohydrate, chlorophyll a, ash, Na, K and proline. The effect of biofertilizer was significant on carbohydrate, chlorophyll a, and on ash. Results showed that proline, carbohydrate, Na, chlorophyll b and ash improved by increasing irrigation interval to every 12 days but K and chlorophyll a decreased. The highest content of carbohydrate, chlorophyll and ashwere observed in G. mosseae, biosphere and G. intraradices, respectively. Overall, results showed that application of biofertilizers had positive effects on qualitative indices of fenugreek and created type of plant adaptation to drought stress. Manuscript profile

        The adverse effects of unfavorable environmental factors are important in warm and dry regions due to limited water resources and evaporation. This study was carried out to determine agronomic traits and oil yield of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cultivars planting methods at Kashan in 2014. The experiment was conducted as factorial arrangemed in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were planting methods (flooding, furrow bed method, high water mark, planting on rows) and safflower cultivars (Goldasht, Esfahan local, Soffeh). Each plot consisted of 4 rows, 5 m long with 50 cm between rows space and 5 cm between plants on the rows. Plant height, stem diameter, number of branch, number of unfilled capsuls, number of capsuls per m-2, number of seed per m-2, weight of seeds, biological yield, harvest index of plant and oil yield were measured. Results showed that the interaction between safflower cultivars and planting methods on plant height, number of capsuls per m-2, number of seed per m-2, weight of capsuls grains, biological yield of plant, harvest index and oil yield was significant. The highest and lowest oil yield (389.7 and 254.3 kg ha-1) were obtained with Goldasht cultivar in high water mark and Esfahan local cultivar in planting on furrow. Therefore, safflower planting at high water mark method can reduces the accumulation of salts from the evaporation surface in areas with hot and dry weather, such as kashan Manuscript profile

        Crop simulation models are useful tools for determination of optimum strategies for crop management and sustainability of the agricultural ecosystems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different planting dates on grain yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of chickpea (Bivanij cultivar) under rainfed conditions at five locations in Kermanshah province. For this purpose, the SSM-Chickpea model along with historical daily weather data for the period of 1985&ndash;2014, were used. The results showed that early sowing date increased leaf area and biological yield and eliminated terminal drought stress. The highest and lowest grain yield was obtained on 20 Febraury and 4 March sowing dates with 1269 and 446 kg ha-1, respectively. The delayed sowing date substantially reduced grain yield by 64%. Furthermore, the highest and lowest biological yield was obtained on 20 Febraury (3448 kg ha-1) and 21April (2217 kg ha-1). On the other hand, the greatest water use efficiency was obtained on 20 Febraury (6.6 kg ha-1 mm-1). Overall, early sowing dates resulted in increased duration of growing season and seasonal rainfall which concurrency resulted in higher yield and WUE. Hence, early sowing chickpea is recommended over late sowing in arid and semi-arid areas of the study locations which are facing with lack of adequate and poor distribution of rainfall.

        To evaluate the effect of previous crop, N rate and N split application on rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Hashemi) growth and paddy yield, a field experiment was conducted at Sowma'ehSara, Guilan province, in 2014 as a split-factorial arrangement based on Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. Main plots were previous crop [Berseem clover, faba bean, and control (fallow)] and subplots were the factorial arrangement of N rate (50, 75, and 100 percent of N recommended rate which was 50, 75 and 100 kg Urea ha-1, respectively) and N split application (100 percent at transplanting stage, 100 percent at tillering stage, and 50 percent at transplanting stage and 50 percent at panicle initiation). Results showed that rice paddy yield was significantly affected by previous crop and N rate, but N split application had no significant effect on paddy yield. The highest paddy yield (4142.8 kg ha-1) was obtained when rice was cultivated after berseem clover and the lowest paddy yield (3494.0 kg ha-1) was obtained when rice was cultivated after faba bean. Rice paddy yield was increased significantly by 8% as N application rate increased from 50 to 78 kg urea ha-1, but further increase in N rate (100 kg urea ha-1) had no significant effect on paddy yield. Based on the result of this experiment, the highest rice paddy (4142.8 kg ha-1) was obtained when rice was cultivated after berseem clover and N was applied at the rate of 75 kg urea ha-1.

        To investigate the effects of water deficit and chemical phosphorus (P) application methods on yield and phosphorus recovery efficiency of two rapeseed cultivars, a field experiment was conducted at Agriculture College and Natural Resources of Darab, Shiraz University during 2013-2014. Treatments including irrigation regimes (common irrigation, cutting off irrigation at mid-flowering and mid-silique formation stages), P application methods (without P, broadcast and band) and rapeseed cultivars (Sarigol and RGS) were assigned in main plots, sub plots and sub sub plots, respectively. Results showed that cutting of irrigation at common irrigation with 25.31 seed numbers per silique had significant differences with mid-flowering with 22.25 seed numbers per silique and cutting of irrigation at mid-silique formation with 22.94 seed numbers per silique . In cutting of irrigation at mid-flowering and band application of P, RGS had the highest biological yield (12435 hg/ha). Common irrigation had the highest (11.02 kg/ha) and cutting of irrigation at mid-flowering had the lowest (5.95 kg/ha) P absorption amount. Overall, P recovery efficiency in broadcast and band application methods of P was 1.09% and 1.38%, respectively. RGS cultivar compared to Sarigol had maximum grain yield under cutting of irrigation at mid-flowering (3830 kg/ha) and mid-silique formation conditions (5428 kg/ha). RGS had the highest rate of assimilate remobilization under cutting off irrigation at mid-flowering and band application of P and it can prevent a further reduction in grain yield when exposed to late season water shortage.

        In order to evaluate the joint effects of cold and light stresses on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni), an experiment was done in a factorial arrangement based on a completely randomized design with three replicates. Treatments were five levels of cold stress (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 days) at 6&plusmn;2 ᵒC and three light intensity levels of normal light, 50 and 10 % of normal light (240, 120 and 24 &micro;m.m-2.s-1, respectively). Plants were kept in controlled conditions for 30 days then chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured. Results showed that Fv/Fm and Fv/Fo in response to cold stress changed in reduce trend and was described by a segmented model. Accordingly, these parameters increased linearly until twelfth day with a soft slope (0.0007 and 0.0149, respectively) and then decreased with a sharp slope (0.0074 and 0.1098, respectively). Also, Fm, Fv, Ft, Fm' only linearly respond to cold stress when stevia plant grown at 240 and 120 &micro;m.m-2.s-1, while in 24 &micro;m.m-2.s-1 the response of plant was fitted by a segmented model in which linearly decreased and then increased. Furthermore, Y(II) adversely affected by cold stress in all light intensity levels while Y(NPQ) and Y(NO) increased particularly in 240 &micro;m.m-2.s-1. In conclusion, the results suggest that chlorophyll fluorescence parameters are sensitive to cold stress particularly when stevia plant exposed for a prolonged period of time and higher light intensity.

        Agroclimatology is among the methods having been in use in the last three decades for areas that have similar climate properties. By adhering to an awareness of climate properties, we will be able to not only manage agricultural affairs properly but also to reduce the farmers&rsquo; concerns in croping with climate change. This paper deals with soil structure arrangements in tomato planting in Hormozgan province, Iran. According to topographical and soil maps, more than 74 percent of the province consists of mountain areas with scant shallow soil or otherwise low quality soil for agriculture. The rest (i.e. nearly 26 percent) in the province has the potential for various products. At the first stage, the areas having the potential for agriculture were identified by eliminating unsuitable areas. At the next stage, agroclimatology for planting tomato in suitable areas was carried out according to the following elements: The product&rsquo;s needs including climate, water quality, and suitable soil. It was done with the aid of climate data, statistics in meteorology, descriptive-explanatory reports, topographical maps with the scale of 1:2350000, and Ilwis and ArcGIS software. With combining different maps, suitable areas for planting the product were indentified. It was also revealed that among the areas used for agriculture, 78.5 percent (20.41 percent of the whole province) are suited and highly suited to tomato agriculture. However, 21.5 percent are not suited to planting tomato. Manuscript profile

The treatments included three irrigation levels {control (full irrigation), irrigation cessation at start of flowering and completion of flowering} in main plots, and application of Nitroxin fertilizer, with (+) and without (-). and the three forage millet cultivars (Bastan, Pishahang, and Isfahan( in sub plots. Results indicated that the highest forage protein contents belonged to the cultivars Isfahan (24.31%) and Pishahang (24.19%) cultivars, the largest ash content (8.22%) to Bastan, and the highest chlorophyll a contents (1.34 mg/g fresh weight) (Party leaf) to the treatment of interactions between three factors. Moreover, the highest chlorophyll b contents (1.10 mg/g fresh weight) was observed in control treatment (full irrigation) of the Bastan cultivar without fertilizer application, and the highest total chlorophyll contents (2,44 mg/g fresh weight) in control treatment of cultivar Bastan without fertilizer application, and also the highest wet forage (88.43 t/h) is obtained in control treatment and bastan cultivar. The millet plant tolerated high levels of irrigation cessation, and Nitroxin was effective in increasing yield. Considering the very rapid growth of millet, and because of the great demand as a forage, we recommend Bastan cultivar plantation in the damghan region Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluate the dual purpose barley cultivation, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) at Agricultural Research Station of Gorgan, Iran. Three levels of nitrogen N; N1=35, N2=70 and N3=105 kg.ha-1 as main-plots and three cutting times C; C0=no-cutting, C1=first and C2=second harvest as sub-plots were studied with four replications. When forage harvested in 31 Zadox stage, generally less grain were produced than forage harvesting in 31 Zadox stage, were considerably reduced grain yield, as using more nitrogen could not recover postponement in harvesting for forage. According to the results generally, highest amount of forage and grain yield were obtained when 105 kg.ha-1 nitrogen applied in the 31 zadox stage. It could be suggested that, harvesting in the first node stage and application of 105 kg.ha-1 nitrogen should be considered for obtaining highest yield of forage and grain of barely in Gorgan region.

        Accurate prediction of phenological development is important in the wheat)Triticum aestivum(. An important parameters on phenology can be suggest temperature and photoperiod. This study was conducted with 12 sowing dates to quantify response of jointing rate (JOR) to temperature and photoperiod in wheat cultivars. The regression models fitted to JOR against temperature were beta, dent-like and segmented function. Meanwhile, quadratic, negative exponential and segmented models fitted to JOR against photoperiod (these models were used as 9 combined models to describe JOR as a function of photothermal day). The results showed that beta- quaradic function was the best model to describe JOR as a function of both temperature and photoperiod. Using this function, the base, optimum and ceiling temperatures were estimated 4.5, 27.3 and 40 ₒC respectively. Critical photoperiod and photoperiod sensitivity coefficient were estimated 20.02 to 22.69 hour and 0.0109 to 0.0475 respectively. Also biological day for cultivars between emergence to jointing with the beta- quaratic function examin between 25.2 to 31.9 days.The results of this study can be used in crop simulation models.

        The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of phenanthrene and pyrene as two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon on germination, growth and some biochemical indices in bread wheat seedlings. Wheat seedlings were cultivated hydroponically and treated by 50, 100, 150 and 200 &micro;M of phenanthrene and pyrene for 7 days. Activity of the superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), as well as H2O2, MDA and photosynthetic pigments content, were measured. The results showed that both pollutants reduced germination percentage, so that the lowest germination percentage was phenanthrene (54.44%) at 200 &mu;m. Phenanthrene more than pyrene reduced the content of photosynthetic pigmentation, the lowest percentage of chlorophyll a (51.54%), chlorophyll b (48.25%) and carotenoids (63.42%) were related to phenanthrene treatment (200 &mu;M). Both pollutants significantly increased the content of hydrogen peroxide (7 times) and malondialdehyde (1.5 times). Increasing the concentration of both pollutants resulted in a significant decrease (up to 70%) in the activity of the three APX, POD and SOD enzymes, but only phenanthrene significantly reduced (49.12%) activity of the catalase. These results indicated that induction of oxidative stress is one of the main reasons for lower plant growth rate and other harmful outcomes in PAHs contaminated environments. Manuscript profile

        A field experiment was conducted in Amlash, Guilan province to evaluate the effect of phosphorus rate (P), Rhizobium phaseoli inoculation and nitragin biofertilizer on growth and yield of common bean (Guilan landrace). The experiment was designed in a factorial arrangement based on a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replicates. The factors were P rate, Rhizobium phaseoli application, and application of nitragin biofertilizer. Result showed that grain and fresh pod yields were significantly increased by 28% and 21%, respectively, as P application rate increased from 0 to 50 kg ha-1. No significant increase in grain and fresh pod yields were observed as P application rate increased from 50 to 75 kg ha-1, but further increase in P rate (75 kg ha-1) reduced grain and fresh pod yields significantly. Regression analysis showed that the highest grain (1403.9 kg ha-1) and pod (8510.7 kg ha-1) yields were obtained when phosphorus was applied at the rate of 65.4 and 59.3 kg ha-1, respectively. Grain and fresh pod yields were significantly increased by 7 and 10% with nitragin biofertilizer application, respectively.

        In order to evaluate the rol of mycorrhiza-like fungus Piriformospora indica on rice grain yield and water use efficiency under different limited irrigation regimes a field experiment was conducted in split factorial design with three replicates during 2014. Treatments were different irrigation methods at three levels (flooding, flooding after falling water depth less than 10 and 20 cm of soil surface) in main plot, two levels of P. indica inoculation (control and inoculation of six days old seedlings) and two rice cultivars (Tarom-Hashemi and Shiroudi) in sub plots as factorial. Results showed that maximum grain yield was obtained in Shiroudi cultivar in flooding (7801 kg/ha), followed by -10 and -20 cm irrigation regimes (5592 and 5575 kg/ha, resectively). This reduction in Tarom-Hashemi cultivar, however, was only significant where falling water depth was less than 20 cm of soil surface and yield loss was about 18 percent as compared to the flooding treatment. Nevertheless, P. indica inoculation in Shiroudi cultivar increased biological yield by 8 %, as compared to Tarom-Hashemi cultivar. Water use productivity and efficiency amounts in limited irrigation regimes was increased significantly in falling water depth less than 20 cm of soil surface treatment by 55 and 57 % , respectively as compared to flooding treatment. In conclusion, results represented a positive effect of coexistence between P. indica and rice plants particularly to ameliorate water deficit negative effects. Manuscript profile

        This research was carried out to determine the effect of some ecological factors on distribution of Vitex pseudo-negundo a medicinal plant in Kohgiluyeh va Boyer Ahmad province. Vector base topographic map of the area was obtained and entered into GIS program. Height, slope and aspect maps were generated by creating DEM image. Evaporation, temperature and precipitation maps of the area were similarly created. 5 sites selected, and then in per site, 3 quadrats with the size of two by two meters were randomly plotted. Canopy cover percentage and the plant number and height of Vitex of were estimated in each quadrat. In each quadrats, soil samples were collected to measure, soil properties including organic carbon, texture, EC, pH, N, P and K contents. Results showed that the lowest plant growth was distuributed at the altitude of 550 meter in Lishter, and the highest at 850 meter in Khan Ahmad region. The chase tree plant was distributed in precipitation range of 480 to 640 mm, and temperature range 20 to 25 Cₒ. Vitex grew in loamy - sandy soils with C= 1/41 (%), pH= 7/44, N= 0/122 (mg/kg), P= 67/25 (mg/kg) and K= 254 (mg/kg). Considering the variations in the proportion of each component, it could be concluded that silt, electrical conductivity (EC), evaporation, potassium, precipitation, height, sand, temperature, Humidity and soil phosphorus content are the most important factors in the distribution of chase tree.

        Today, the emphasis is on stable agricultural, the long-term stability of crop production with minimal impact on the environment. The use of biological fertilizers has been considered in recent years, with the purpose of eliminating or reducing many environmental impacts irreparable, caused by indiscriminate use of chemical-based agricultural ecosystems. To study the effect of Mycorrhizal and Azotobacter biological fertilizers on growth and yield of red bean, an experiment in crop year 2016 in Lorestan Beiranshahr, a factorial experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with four replications. Parameters studied: mycorrhizal fungi at two levels (inoculated and no inoculated), inoculated with Azotobacter bacteria at two levels: (inoculated and non-inoculated) and red bean (Beiranshahr landrace, Akhtar and Goli Cultivars). The results showed the effect of three factors were significant at probability 1 percent level, plant height, number of pods per plant, pod length, number of seeds per pod, number of seeds per plant, seed yield and seed protein yield; And the interaction of three factors (Azetobacter&times;Mycorrhiza&times;varieties) on plant height, seed yield and seed protein yield at 5 percent probability level. seed yield in Beiranshahr landrace, Akhtar and Goli Cultivars, increased 56.5, 19.1 and 43.2 Percent Respectively. The highest seed yield was obtained from the combined effect of Inoculation Azotobacter&times;Mycorrhizal inoculation&times;Goli Cultivar (298.90 kg. ha-1) plants with form the progressive and unlimited growth. According to the findings of this study, the use of biological fertilizers containing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alone or along with Azotobacter crocococcus can be recommended in red bean cultivation.

        Nowadays, the nutritional dimensions of some range and mountain plants for livestock are somewhat unclear, while awareness of the nutritional value of these plants can help the animal husbandries to provide an ideal diet. Hence, some chemical compounds, minerals, gas production parameters and other fermentation parameters of two plant species (including Salvia hydrangea and Sophora alopecuroides) growable in rangelands of Torbat-e Jam (spring 2018) were determined in two phenological growth stages (vegetative and flowering) and then they were compared in a completely randomized design using SAS software. Different chemical and mineral compounds were observed between the two plants and their two different growth stages. The highest amount of neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber (42.40 and 30.60%, respectively) and acid detergent lignin (11.88%) were related to Sophora alopecuroides in flowering phase and the highest amount of phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium was observed in the vegetative phase. Gas production parameters and other fermentation parameters were also different between two plants, so that the highest amount of gas production after 12, 24 and 48 h incubation (40.76, 51.25, 53.98 ml), potential gas production (57.19 ml), organic matter and dry matter digestibility (65.90 and 69.30%, respectively), metabolizable energy (9.29 MJ/kg DM), net energy for lactation (5.54 MJ/kg DM), and total volatile fatty acids (56.85 mmol/L) were observed in vegetative stage of Salvia hydrangea. Both two studied plants, especially in the vegetative stage, have a fairly good nutritional value, but according to the laboratory results, Salvia hydrangea seems to have a higher nutritional potential.

        In order to evaluate the effect of temperature changes at carbon dioxide concentrations on the growth, development and yield of peanuts (cultivar North Carolina 2), SSM-Peanut model was used. The SSM-peanut model was used to run different scenarios including combination of -1, -2, -3, -4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 oC changes in temperature and CO2 concentration of 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700 ppm. This study was performed using data from field experiments conducted in Astaneh Ashrafieh. Simulation were applied using actual meteorological data of the period 2007-2015 from Kiashahr Synoptic Station (37o23' N, 49o53' E) for future conditions and under all scenarios. The results showed that the temperature reduction compared to the current conditions, increased the day to the phonological stages in peanuts. So that, days to maturity increased from 135 to 166 days. However, fluctuation in temperature from 1 to 5oC decreased days to maturity from 135 to 116 days. Reducing the temperature compared to the current conditions reduced the yield of peanuts. So, in the present situation, the yield of seeds and pods decreased by 40%, with a decrease of 4&deg;C. But increase in CO2 concentration will compensate this decrease, So that by reducing the temperature of 4 &deg;C at the concentration of 550 ppm CO2 resulted in a 37% decrease in peanut yields.

        AbstractsProvision of nutrients for crops such as rice has a significant role in achieving optimal yield. Therefore, the aim of this study was to maximize the rice plant potential by optimizing the use of mineral and biological fertilizers along with cutting height of ratoon of rice. The experiment was carried out split factorial based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications at the Rice Research Institute of Iran (Amol) during the growing season of 2014 and 2015. Three levels of harvesting height including 0, 15 cm and 30 cm from the ground as the main plots and phosphorous fertilizers (triple superphosphate) and potassium (potassium sulfate) in two levels (0 and 50 kg ha-1) were first sub-plots and foliar application of Azospirillium brazilennes and Pseudomonas fluorescens were in two levels (foliar application and non-foliar application) as the second sub-plots. The results demonstrated that the highest grain yield was obtained in treatment of 50 kg of phosphorus fertilizer with a harvest height of 30 cm from the ground with an average of 2017.8 kg ha-1. All mineral and biological fertilizers significantly increased plant height, number of tillers per hill and filled spikelet percentage per panicle. In addition, the use of biofertilizers along with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers resulted in increased yield and yield components. Therefore, the application of the above fertilizers can be a suitable alternative for high consumption of nitrogen in the production of rice rice in the region. Manuscript profile

        To study the effects of different levels of zinc and iron sulphate on qualitative and quantitative yield of canola, a factorial experiment base on a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in Marvdasht. The first factor consisted of four levels of zinc sulphate foliar application(0, 2, 4 and 6 per thousand) and the second factors consisted of four levels of iron sulphate foliar application (0, 2, 4 and 6 per thousand),. Analysis of variance indicated that the effect of different levels of zinc and iron on yield and yield components of rape seed is significant. The highest number of seeds per pod, seed weight, biological and grain yield were obtained by using the concentration of zinc sulphate 6 thousand that not significant with 4 thousand treatment. Means comparison if iron sulphate application showed that the highest number of seeds per pod, seed weight, biological and grain yield was used at a concentration of six per thousand and as statistically not significant with 4 per thousand treatment. by increasing concentrations of iron and zinc sulfate the oil percent increased, but this increase was not statistically significant. In general it can be concluded that in plant nutrition managemen the application of zinc and iron 4 per thousand to reach a favorable grain yield in Marvdasht city can be more economically feasible.

        In order to investigate the effect application of mycorrhizal fungus and potassium fertilizer on trait of Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) in different irrigation levels, an experiment was conducted as split factorial based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications during 2018-2019 in Marvdasht city. Four irrigation levels with 100, 75, 50 and 25% of field capacity were considered as the main plot and application and non-application of mycorrhizal fungus, application and non-application of potassium fertilizer as a factorial in the sub-plot. Analysis of variance indicated that the effects of irrigation, mycorrhiza, potassium, and also the interaction between irrigation and mycorrhiza on the studied traits were significant. With increasing of drought stress, plant height, number of lateral branches, number of follicles per plant, grain yield, biological yield and oil yield was decreased. The highest grain yield related to irrigation 100% of field capacity in the application of mycorrhizal (856 kg/ha) and the lowest grain yield was obtained irrigation with 25% field capacity in non-application mycorrhizal (174 kg/ha). Also, the results indicated that the application of mycorrhizal in treatment irrigation with 75% of field capacity led to an increase in traits of Black Cumin and there was no significant difference with 100% field capacity irrigation and no application of mycorrhizal treatment. In the 25% field capacity of irrigation, no significant difference was observed between the application and non-application of mycorrhizal for most traits of Black Cumin. Manuscript profile

        Using biological fertilizers containing different microbial strains, leads to less chemical fertilizer application and consequently high quality products with no harmful chemicals for human health. In order to investigate the effect of seed inoculation with growth promoting rhizobacteria and nitrogen fertilizer timing on growth indices, yield and some morphological traits of triticale (Joanilo variety), a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012, at the green house in agricultural science college of Mohaghegh Ardabili university. The factors consisted of nitrogen fertilizer timing in four levels including T1 (1/2 in planting time + 1/2 during stem elongation), T2 (1/3 in planting time + 1/3 during stem elongation + 1/3 before panicle appearance), T3 (1/4 in planting time + 1/2 during stem elongation + 1/4 during panicle growth) and T4 (1/4 in planting time + 1/4 during tilling stage + 1/4 during stem elongation + 1/4 during panicle growth) and seed inoculation with growth promoting rhizobacteria in four levels including B0 (no-inoculation), B1 (Azotobacter chroococcum, strain 5), B2 (Azospirillum Lipoferum, strain OF) and B3 (Pseudomonas putida, strain 4). Results indicated that the interaction of bacterial inoculation and nitrogen fertilizer timing were significant on all measured traits. It seems that seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and the second and third fertilizer timing levels led to an increase in yield and improved growth indices as well as morphological traits so that the most leaf area index, crop growth rate, relative growth rate and plant dry weight were observed in the interaction of Azotobacter and Azospirillum inoculation in the second and third fertilizer timing levels. Bacterial inoculation with Azotobacter and second fertilizer timing level increased grain yield 2.5 times more than the control treatment. The most values for morphological traits of triticale were acquired in seed inoculation with growth promoting rhizobacteria and the second and third fertilizer timing levels.

        Wheat grain yield had increased considerably during past year. The reports showed that this increase was about 1% per year in most of the cases. For example, the results of experiments conducted in Mexico, England, France, Argentina, China and Iran showed such trends. There is considerable interest for scientist to understanding the role of traits that involved in yield increasing, since grain improvement in wheat is an important problem. Increasing harvest index, reduced plant height, increasing grain number per ear, increasing ear number and to some extent increasing biomass, specially in the recent year that harvest index reached to maximum predict value, had the highest role in wheat yield improvement in past year. It seems that some traits had little changes during yield improvement in breeding programs and more efforts must be done to improving these traits. Some of these traits that in future breeding programs must be considered are, improving biomass production, improving rooting traits, increasing stem elongation period, improving RUE, improving efficiency of use of stem reserves to grain filling and improving ear morphology.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        In order to assess the response of ajowan to drought stress that induced by PEG 6000 on germination and growth stages, two separate experiments that in each useed completely randomized design with three replications were done. In first experiment, the response of germination of ajowan seeds was investigated to different levels of drought stress include osmotic potential of zero (control), - 1/5, -2, -2/5 and -3bar that prepared by PEG6000. The second experiment was same first, but in this experiment, morphological and physiological characters of ajowan in different level of drought stress were evaluated. Results of Anova at our data showed that drought stress has significant effect (p≤0/01) on germination characters such as germination percentage, germination rate, height of plumule, length of radicle, dry weight of radicle and plumule. Mean comparison of treatments showed, with increase in drought stress, all the above characters have been reduced. Morphological traits such as leaf area, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root and shoot dry weight ratio to root decreased under drought stress. Also, drought stress had a significant effect on the amount of proline and soluble sugars in the aerial part and root. Comparison of mean of treatments showed that, with increasing stress, the amount of proline and soluble sugars in the shoot and root increased (p≤0/01). The results showed, that germination parameters were reduced by drought stress. Ajowan showed differently responce to tolerate drought stress. Ajowan plant for tolerance to drought stress has different reactions, including reduction of traits such as leaf area and dry and fresh weight of aerial part and root and increase traits such as proline content and soluble sugars.

        In order to study the effect of planting arrangement and application of different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and agronomic traits of experimental rice as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field located in Kishakjan village of Rudsar county in 2016 is accomplished. The main plant density treatments were in four levels: D1 = 100 plants per square meter (10×10 cm), D2 = 25 plants per square meter (20×20 cm), D3 = 16 plants per square meter (25×25 cm) and D4=11 plants per square meter (30×30 cm) and sub-treatments were four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (from urea source) including: = N1= zero (control), N2=40, N3=80 and N4 = 120 kg N ha-1. The results showed that the interaction effect of planting density on nitrogen fertilizer rates caused a statistically significant difference on plant height, tiller number per square meter, number of fertile tiller, number of seeds per panicle, grain and biological yield and harvest index of rice. But no significant effect was observed on panicle length and percentage of the unfilled grain. The highest grain yield was obtained at the treatment of 25 plants per square meter with 80 kg nitrogen fertilizer (6833 kg.ha-1) and no significant difference was observed with the treatment of 16 plant density with consumption of 80 kg N (6520 kg.ha-1). The lowest seed yield was obtained in the treatment of 11 plants per square meter without N application (4780 kg.ha-1). Manuscript profile

        For study the genetic diversity of Aloe germplasm and identify the classification and relationship of germplasm collections and exploiting them in breeding programs, Thirty three Aloe accessions were collected. These accessions were including 31 wild genotypes and 2 commercial genotypes. Shoot tip explants were washed and sterile. Then, were inoculated on solid MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mgl-1 benzyl adenine + 0.5 mgl-1 α-naphthalene acetic acid and sub-cultured on the same medium for plantlet production and propagation once every four weeks. Plantlets were grown in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications in greenhouse. After six months, 18 morphological traits were measured and analyzed. Morphological analysis indicated that all the studied various characters have a significant difference at P < 0.01 among Aloe accessions. Also comparison of the means (Duncan’s test) for the genotypes was performed. Maximum amounts for most traits was related to genotype 29 which suggests the potential of this genotype for further studies. The results of orthogonal comparisons between genotypes of wild or native genotypes in a group and the control group showed that the genotypes for most morphological traits studied, there was no significant difference. Cluster analysis indicated that all accessions were divided into three major groups. There were commercial accessions in the third group, and the best wild accession (number of 29) was in this group that is representing high potential of this genotype. Manuscript profile

        &nbsp;&nbsp; The physiological response of Henna ecotypes to different rates of N fertilizer and low-irrigation was studied in a split-split-plot experiment on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications in research farm of Islamic Azad University of Jiroft in 2013-2014. The main plot was devoted to low-irrigation stress at three levels (100, 75 and 50% water requirement), the sub-plot was devoted to N fertilization at three levels (50, 100 and 150 kg&nbsp;N&nbsp;ha-1) and the sub-sub-plot was devoted to ecotype at three levels (Bami, Boushehri and Roudbari). It was found that low-irrigation stress significantly affected all traits (relative water content, dye rate and chlorophyll index at the 1% level and chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll and chlorophyll a/b at the 5% level) except electrolyte leakage rate and chlorophyll b. The influence of N rate was significant on all traits (at the 1% level, chlorophyll index at the 5% level) except electrolyte leakage rate, chlorophyll b and dye rate. The studied ecotypes showed significant differences only in dye rate (at the 1% level) and electrolyte leakage (at the 5% level). The highest Lawson content of 20.61 was obtained from the ecotype Bami treated with 150 kg&nbsp;N&nbsp;ha-1 and 75% water requirement. The lowest one of 12.55 was obtained from the ecotype Boushehri treated with 150 kg&nbsp;N&nbsp;ha-1 and 50% water requirement. Therefore, it can be said that the application of 100 kg&nbsp;N ha-1 treated with water stress at 75% water requirement was the best treatment for obtaining more fresh plants with higher essential oil (Lawson).

        Lacewings are the predatory insects that widely used in biological control programs. Among them, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neu.: Chrysopidae) is a promising biological control agent in releasing against pests in greenhouses and fields. In this study, two release methods of lacewing&rsquo;s eggs were compared: distribution of eggs mixed with sawdust as an egg carrier and dispensation of the eggs using chrysobag (the special net bags). Experiments were conducted on the cucumber Cucumis sativum L., against cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover in netted cages. Ratio 1:5 was compared in two methods in a condition that each cage contained 4 plants and density of aphids was higher than that of the last experiments. This experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design. First egg release showed no significant difference between two methods. Approximately 80-84% reduction in population density of aphids was observed compared with control treatment. However 2nd egg release, 7 days after 1st release, showed 94-95% reduction in aphid population. Better control of aphids was observed with repeated egg release. If experiments conducted in cage without presence of generalist predators (such as ants) of eggs, two methods had the same effect to control aphids. Although two methods had the same efficacy without presence of ant, if eggs released in greenhouses and fields, chrysobag protects eggs from ants and other predators. Therefore, chrysobag with a high efficiency and without bad affect on host plant. Chrysobag method suggested to be used in commercial greenhouses and field Manuscript profile

        &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In this research, The effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation was evaluated on morphological characteristics. In order to obtain the best irrigation and nitrogen levels, the research was conducted in pot and greenhouse system in Zahedan. The treatments included three amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) and three irrigation regimes (2 mm per week, 4mm per 2 weeks and 2 mm per 2 weeks). The studied factors were flower yield, plant height, flowering time, and anthodia height and anthodia diameter. The results indicated that the increase of nitrogen fertilizer from 20 to 60 kg/ha improved plant height, early flowering, anthodia height and diameter significantly. Highest amount of&nbsp; flower dry yield is obtained in 40 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer but highest amount of&nbsp; flower wet yield is obtained in 60 kg/ha and the lowest amount of&nbsp; flower wet yield is obtained in 40 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer. Irrigation also affects flower dry weight, anthodia diameter and flowering time in 2mm irrigation per week and 4 mm irrigation per two weeks increased plant height and flower wet weight significantly. The interactions between nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation was significant as plant height (31.89 cm), flowers wet weight(8.78 gr per pot) and flowering time (41 days) as concerned and the best treatments was 60 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer and irrigation 4 mm per two weeks. According to the results, it appears that 60 kg/ha nitrogen fertilizer plus 4 mm irrigation per two weeks was the best treatment to produce the flower yield in German chamomile in organic system. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluation of the effect of redroot pigweed density and interference time on some physiological traits of sunflower two factorial experiments were performed with sunflower cultivars (Azarghol, Hysun and Allstar), redroot pigweed densities (8.3, 25 and 41.7 plants/m2) and relative times of weed emergence (emerged with sunflower, 15 and 30 days after sunflower emergence) during 2005-2006. Results revealed that in three sunflower cultivars, at high densities and early interference times of redroot pigweed leaf area index decreased, significantly. In Azarghol, reduction amount of leaf area per plant in emerging of 41.7 weeds/m2 was 12%, compared with control. In Allstar, weed density was more effective than interference time, while, in Azarghol and Hysun interference time was more effective than weed density with a view to effect on leaf area duration. Azarghol could tolerate 41.7 and 8.3 weeds/m2 from 30 and 15 days after sunflower emergence later, respectively, without reduction on yield. While intensity of inter-specific competition between redroot pigweed and sunflower in Allstar was higher than Azarghol and Hysun. Manuscript profile

        This research was don to investigate the effect of mycorrhiza and vermicompost as the biological fertilizers to compare with chemical fertilizer phosphorous and nitrogen on yield and yield component of corn. It was based on factorial in a RCBD with 3 replications when soil control condition was some in 2010. Treatment were considered as using chemical fertilizer (F) in three levels of fertilizer's sources, urea, triple super phosphate and potassium include: F0 (N=0, P=0, K=0), F1 (N=70, P=50, K=30) and F2 (N=150, P=100 and K=50) kg/ha, vermicompost treatment in two levels (using V1 and non-using V0) and mycorrhiza treatment in two levels (using M1 and non-using M0) (population 105 g/spore). Results of variance analysis showed there was significant different between different levels&rsquo; interaction of vermicompost, chemical fertilizer and mycorrhiza on grain yield p=1% and there isn&rsquo;t any significant difference between the kernel number and 1000 kernel weight. Comparing the average of interaction of vermicompost, mycorrhiza and chemical fertilizer showed significant difference on grain yield, that treatment V1F0M1 and V1F1M1 with averages 119.33 and 113.00 g/pot have higher amount of grain yield than teratmentV1F2M1 with average 106.33 g/plant, and treatment V1F0M0 with average 87.00 g/plant has lowest amount of grain yield. Comparing the average of vermicompost interaction, fertilizer&rsquo;s level and myeorrhiza showed significant difference on the 1000 kernel weight and treatment V1F0M1 with average 168.33 g has highest weight of 1000 kernel weight and treatment V1F1M1 with average 134.67 g has lowest weight of 1000 grains. Use of mycorrhiza and vermicompost in low levels of chemical fertilizer could cause increase of yield and grain yield component but in high levels of chemical fertilizer their activity became hampered.

        An experiment was conducted to study the effects of weeds (Sinapis arvensis, Hordeum spp., Secale montanum and Agrostemma githago) competition on morphological traits, yield and harvest index of three winter rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) cultivars at Islamic Azad University of Tabriz, Iran during 2008. Studied factors were weed control time included weeding in rosette, early stem elongation, early flowering and 50% flowering stages, full season competition, control and SLM046, Opera and Okapi cultivars. Results showed that number of branches per plant were 4 and 2 in control and full-season interference treatments, respectively. Biological yield of rapeseed in whole season weed-infested plots reduced 40%, as compared with control. Weeds biomass in treatments those weeds were controlled at early stem elongation, early flowering and 50% flowering stages had no-significant difference. Weeds could increase biomass up to 410 g m-2 when grew with rapeseed along the season. Weeds control had significant difference with weed-free plots in early stem elongation, early flowering and 50% flowering stages with 32%, 44% and 50% reduction value in seed yield, respectively. When the weeds competition period took a long time, seeds weight decreased. Seed oil percentage was not affected by cultivars and weeds competition periods. Reduction value in oil yield of rapeseed in different levels of weed control were 32%, 4%, 45%, 50% and 55%, respectively. Manuscript profile

        In order to study effect of seed inoculationwith nitragin and different levels of urea rate on physiological traits and biologic yield of maize (Zea mays L.), cv. 704, a factorial experiment was conducted based on RBCD. Treatments were six levels of urea rate (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 kg/ha) and seed inoculation with nitragin or non-inoculation. Based on results, when seeds inoculated with nitragin, LAI in corn reduced from 2.4 to 2 in non-inoculated seeds. Treatment of inoculated seeds&times;application of 60 kg/haurea had the highest LAI (3.4). The highest chlorophyll content index obtained from interaction ofinoculation with nitragin+120 kg/haurea. Treatments of 150, 120 and 90 kg/haurea with 212, 202 and 191 g/m2 dry weight of ear had significant difference with control and 30 kg/haurea rate. Ear weight in inoculated seeds was 10% greater than non-inoculated ones. Biologic yield in corn was affected by seed inoculation and urea rate. The highest corn biomass (27t/ha) obtained from treatment fertilized with150 kg/haurea. It is recommended that in order to improvement of forage yield, corn must be inoculated with nitragin and fertilized with 150 kg/haurea. Manuscript profile

        Providing 24-hour services is an inevitable part of the health care system. Shift work and smoking are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease among nurses. This study aimed to investigate the effects of smoking and shift work on physiological parameters and blood factors among nurses. The present study was a cross-sectional study conducted among 300 nurses in Tehran's specialized and sub-specialized hospital in Tehran. To collect the data, the demographic questionnaire was used. A digital Blood Pressure Monitor and heart rate monitor were used to measure physiological parameters. Blood factors were collected from the results of medical records (Blood CBC). Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS-20 software. The combined effects of shift work and smoking showed that for people who are smokers and work in shifts, systolic blood pressure and BMI have a significant difference with day workers. Mean diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in shift workers and smokers were slightly higher than those of working day and non-smokers. At the same time, statistical analysis did not show a significant relationship between the parameters (p&gt; 0.05). The results also showed that the concentration of cholesterol and triglycerides in shift workers and smokers was significantly different from day workers and non-smokers (p &lt;0.05). Due to the importance of nurses' health as the main foundation of the health system, it is necessary to carry out intervention programs as well as more detailed studies and research on the effects of shift work and smoking on physiological parameters and blood parameters with lifestyle control.

        The results of research in the field of financing based on a behavioral approach suggest that investors may be irrational; As a result, investors' cognitive bias or psychological factors can influence their decisions. Thus, stock price volatility depends not only on the intrinsic value shown by accounting information, but also on the irrational behavior of investors, which can be measured by the investor's inclinations. Therefore, considering the importance of this field, the present study presents a model of investors' tendencies with emphasis on psychological factors with fuzzy Delphi and DEMATEL methods. This research is a data foundation research. Also, this research is a type of mixed research in which two approaches used in behavioral sciences, namely quantitative and qualitative, are used. The statistical population of this research is divided into two parts. The first part of the statistical population consists of financial and investment experts, which includes experts in this field, who are consulted to determine the dimensions, components and indicators, and the second part of the statistical population includes all university professors who have a doctorate in finance. And are investments. Using fuzzy Delphi method, the optimal criteria of investors 'tendencies with emphasis on psychological factors were extracted and the final model of the levels of optimal factors of investors' tendencies with emphasis on psychological factors was also drawn. Also, the effect and influence of factors on each other were evaluated using DEMATEL method. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: Organizations today operate in an uncertain, complex, and rapidly changing environment that necessitates the development of capabilities and capacities for competitive advantage. The aim of this research is to present a model for the development of technological startups to enhance the dynamics of extra-organizational navigation mechanisms. Methodology: The research adopts an exploratory objective and a mixed-method approach (qualitative-quantitative). The qualitative research population consists of experts and top managers of industrial companies listed on the stock exchange, with 20 purposively selected participants, and sampling continued until theoretical saturation was achieved.Within the quantitative segment, the sample comprises 500 individuals drawn from the academic faculty, senior executives, middle managers, and industry experts associated with firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The sample size of 217 individuals was determined using Cochran's formula for the period spanning 2012 to 2022. Findings: The results indicate that constraints on financial resources (research and development budgets) and risk-sharing, the transition towards the digital economy synchronized with regional and global developments, market penetration processes, increasing competitiveness, and the formation of an economic scale for product development, as well as social and cultural transformations such as the emergence of an educated middle class, underscore the necessity of strategic thinking in organizations commensurate with changes in the operating environment as key factors in the development of startups. Moreover, contextual and intervening factors include 10 and 5 categories, respectively, comprising macroeconomic conditions and constraints in attracting foreign investment, and the inherent complexity of innovation and commercialization, especially in advanced technology domains. Furthermore, strategies encompassing 16 components, including adopting an agile startup approach and risk-taking and crisis management. Additionally, consequential categories include creating value for businesses following a market-oriented approach through resource integration and product development. In the quantitative section, the conceptual research model was tested, and the research hypothesis was confirmed. Originality/Scientific Contribution: The research findings can contribute to enhancing competition among companies listed on the stock exchange, and it is expected that the establishment of extra-organizational navigation mechanisms will effectively assist in the implementation of the board of directors' tasks and compliance with legal requirements.

        It`s impossible to overhaul the sewer collection lines, or remove sewer lines from the sewage system. As a result, the necessary studies should be performed to identify appropriate strategies to prevent blockage of the pipes. One of the common problems in the field is crown corrosion due to the presence of sulfuric acid. In this study, the production of sulfuric acid in the presence of microbiological agents in pipes&rsquo; crown has been studied and the effect of environmental parameters such as temperature and acid concentration on the rate of the biological crown corrosion were investigated. For this purpose, concrete samples of the type 5 of cement used in accordance with the ASTM C150 and ASTM C595 standards, and then they were exposed to the different temperatures and concentrations of sulfuric acid. The results of the weight loss indicate that the increases in the temperatures and concentrations of acid would be led to higher corrosion rates. Finally, optical microscopic investigations and XRD analysis of the corroded sample showed that the corrosion product is ettringite. Manuscript profile

        Metal bone plates are used to stabilize bone fractures in orthopedic surgical treatment for years. The differences between stiffness of Metal plates and bone lead to osteoporosis and increase the risk of again fractures in the area of the plate. In addition, wear and corrosion of metal plaques lead to release of unwanted corrosion products in the body. To fix this problem ceramic polymer degradable composites can be used. The purpose of this research was to fabricate non-degradable bone plate of Polycaprolactone-Baghdadite (Ca3ZrSi2O9) to stabilize and restore the bone tissue damages. Polycaprolactone (PCL) is semi-crystalline polymer with biocompatible body, but the degradation rate of PCL than other biocompatible polymer is lower and has higher fracture energy. Baghdadite is a bioceramic with high bioactivity properties, so the additions of baghdadite nanoparticles to PCL lead to increase the bioactive of PCL meanwhile improve the speed of degradation of the composites. In this study, Baghdadite powder was prepared by the sol-gel method and then values of 0, 10 and 20 wt% nano-powder added to PCL. In order to evaluate the biological properties, the test of immersion in (SBF) applied and assessment of particle shape and morphology of samples was done by scanning electron microscopy. Tensile test used to determine the mechanical properties. The results showed that the Baghdadite powder composed with average particle size of 30 nm, While have the proper distribution and uniformity in the polymer matrix; subjoin it to matrix phase lead to increased biological and strength properties of the composite.

In present study survival, growth and cyst diameter of two parthenogenetic and bisexual Artemia in two salinities 120g.l-1 and 210g.l-1 were studied. In this regard, both strains of the Artemia were reared with Dunaliella tertiolecta algae where survival and growth was assessed by days 3, 7, 11, 15. The produced cysts after maturation (in one month) were collected daily and the diameters of cysts were measured. The results revealed decreasing on survival rate with increasing in the both types of Artemia by which A. franciscana showed high performance in 210g.l-1 comparing to parthenogenetic Artemia. The total length and cyst diameter analyses of both Artemia in laboratory conditions revealed these factors as almost independent ecologic factor which should be used for populations of species identification of Artemia with very caution.

        Hypothyroidism is a human disease caused by autoimmune disorders and deficiency of iodine in the daily diet.In the present study, the effect of hydro alcoholicleaf extract of Walnut on hematological indices in male rats with hypothyroidism was investigated.In this experimental study, 60 adult male rats, each weigh in approximately 200-220 G, were divided into 6 groups of 10. These groups are as follow: The control group, patients in the control group, left untreated; the sham group receiving only distilled water as solvent; the experimental group 1, receiving methimazole for 10 days to induce hypothyroidism;The experimental group 2,treated with 1500 mg/kg leaf extract ;and the experimental groups 3 and 4,which in addition to the induction of hypothyroidism,were treated with 750mg/kg and 1500mg/kg extract respectively. The extract was orally administered daily for 4 weeks. At the end of this period, blood samples were prepared from all the groups, and hematological indices were measured, including the number of red and white blood cells, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil, basophil, platelets, MCV, MCH, MCHC, hematocrit, hemoglobin. The results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA variance test and the SPSS software, (Pandlt;0.05).According to the results,the number of red blood cells, platelets and hemoglobin concentration showed a significant decreased in the experimental group 1, relative to the control and sham groups, whereas the number of eosinophil increased significantly (Pandlt;0.05). In contrast, The number of RBC, platelets and hemoglobin increased significantly in experimental groups 3 andamp; 4 in comparison with experimental group 1,while the number of eosinophil declined significantly(Pandlt;0.05) .the number of red blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, MCH and MCHC decreased significantly in group with hypothyroidism relative to control and sham groups. based on our results and Studies of other researchers, hydro alcoholic Walnut leaf extractcan protect red blood cells and hemoglobin against oxidant damage , because it contains flavonoid and polyphenol compounds with high antioxidant properties and the number of eosinophil increased significantly. The compounds present in the extract can also inhibit the aggregation and adhesion of platelets, and cause an increase in the Platelet count in patients with hypothyroidism. Manuscript profile

        Persian salamander Paradactylodon gorganensis is endemic, unique andvaluable genetic pool of Iranian Amphibians that exists in forests of Golestsn province. In this research, for the investigation of biological aspects of this species, for the first time natural habitats include Odaneh, Req and Gorgloo springs have been recognized in forested area of Ziarat village in south of Gorgan in 1250-1600m elevation above the sea level. We studied these localities 12 times from August 2009 to September 2010. Also, geographical position, climate, substrate, fauna, flora were investigated. In every time characters of larvae were studied. Results, shows that larvae are active at all time of the year, even when the habitat covered with snow and air temperature is -3anddeg;C. The larvae were seen with different sizes and ages in a same time, Therefore, it seems that they donandrsquo;t transform during the first year. There was cannibalism relationship in larvae. Also some of larvae may be eaten by crabs (Potamon sp). Although larvae have 4 fingers and toes in the limbs but some specimens were seen without, 3 and 5 fingers and toes. It seems that the air and water temperature do not have serious effect on growth and metamorphosis in larvae. Habitat destruction by farmers and animals, pH changes, water shortage are the most important and threating factors for population of this endemic species that live in specific habitats with limited distribution.

        The European pond turtle, Emys orbicularis (L., 1758), is widespread. The distribution of this species has wide dispersal in the North and West of Iran and reaches eastwards to the Caspian and Aral Seas. In order to find out possible populations differentiations, a survey was conducted from Apr. 2008 to Sep. 2009 in the southern coastal of Caspian Sea including Golastan, Mazandaran, Ardebil and East Azarbaijan province. The natural history of specimens are presented. Forty morphometric characters in 30 adult males from four populations have been measured. Using ANOVA, it was showed East Azarbaijan and Golastan populations have the highest mean in the most of characters in comparison with the other populations. Principle Component Analysis (PCA), in males exploited four means components. The components expressed 71.85%, 11.65%, 4.6% and 2.5% changes, respectively. Dispersion of Specimens based on components showed that Ardebil population is separated from other populations based on the first component, completely, but the other populations closed to each other. It seems that habitat differences, geographical and ecological situation are the reason for this separation. Cluster analysis showed all of populations were placed separately, but one of specimens of East Azarbaijan was placed in separate branch. So this interesting finding can be inferred by new haplotype.

        Psychological dependence on substances is the desire to consume substances or something that has pleasurable effects and produces satisfaction. Various substances cause this dependence. Previous studies indicate the possible effect of risperidone on the brain reward system and the involvement of different receptors in conditioned place preference (CPP). Therefore, the present study was designed with the aim of investigating the effect of risperidone on the induction of psychological dependence and the number of hippocampal neurons. For this study, 40 male Wistar rats with a weight range of 230-280 grams were used. Risperidone was injected intraperitoneally with doses of 1, 2 and 4 mg/kg. At the end of the hippocampus experiments, the animals were taken out and fixed by formalin, then cut and after staining, they were used for histological evaluation and neuronal counting. The results of this study showed that the administration of risperidone with a dose of 2 and 4 mg/kg causes a significant increase in CPP (p &lt; 0.05). Also, in histological evaluation, no neuronal destruction was observed in all risperidone groups (1, 2 and 4 mg/kg). According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that risperidone in higher doses causes an increase in conditioned place preference and learning and dependence and should be considered in treatment.

        Epidemiological studies have always supported obesity as a cause of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of intense interval exercise on the expression of some genes effective in physiological cardiac hypertrophy (PI3K, AKT1, mTORc1) in obese Wistar rats. For this purpose, from 21 male Wistar rats aged 10 weeks (220 ± 10 g), 14 after induction of obesity by 6 weeks of high-fat diet (HFD) were randomly divided to control obese (n = 7) or interval obese (n = 7) groups. Also, 7 rats with normal weight were selected as normal group. The interval obese rats were completed 8-weeks interval training (5 times weekly) in the form of interval runs on the treadmill. The control obese and normal groups did not participate in the exercise program. 48 hours after the last training session, the expression of PI3K, AKT1 and mTORc1 genes in heart tissue was measured and compared between groups by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test. Induction of obesity led to a significant decrease in PI3K, AKT1 and mTORc1 in the heart tissue in the obese control group compared to the normal group (p = 0.001). Compared to the obese control group, interval training increased the expression of PI3K (p = 0.001) and mTORc1 (p = 0.001), but AKT1 expression did not change significantly in response to interval training (p = 0.603). Interval training is associated with improving the expression of genes affecting the physiological hypertrophy of the heart tissue in obese rats. Knowing the molecular cellular mechanisms responsible for this process requires more studies. Manuscript profile

        Marine pollution is one of the main concerns of countries surrounding the Persian Gulf, which receives a great deal of contaminations. In this study, the histological alterations of kidney in Achanthopagrus latus collected from Musa creek were used to evaluate the effects of pollution on the aquatic organisms. In the present study, 50 A. latus were collected from five sampling stations in Musa creek including 1. Petrochemical, 2. Jaafari, 3. Majidieh, 4. Ghazaleh, and 5. Zangi. The kidneys of the fishes were separated and fixed in Bouin&lsquo;s solution for 12 h. The samples were then studied based on the routine histological methods. The histopathological changes in the kidneys of A. latus included glomerular dilatation, reduction of urinary space, melanomacrophages aggregations, occlusion of tubular lumen, tubular degeneration and necrosis. Histopathological Alteration Index (HAI) was determined based on the frequency of pathological changes in kidney of the fishes. The highest level of HAI for kidney of A. latus was observed at the Petrochemical station. The lowest level of HAI was related to Zangi station. The results of present study showed that the histopathological alternations of kidney in Achantopagrus latus are caused by the Musa creek contamination and there is close relation between the amount of these alterations and the environmental pollution.

        Psychological pathology is the study of the psychological abnormality and psychopathy which is created in human being in two levels of interpersonal and intrapersonal because of severe excitation and anxiety. The relation of interpersonal one is a kind of important and basic&nbsp; motivation for adaptation. And its mark is lack of defensive situation, having sincerity and satisfaction. The more human being is able to harmonize the internal tendency and the expectation of society, the more adaptable it will be. Deficiency in relationship and failure in communication and un-coordination and its conflict have unfavorable impact on the function of the peripheral people. Eric Berne divides the interaction of human personality into child, parent and the matured. He believes that if there is a harmony among these, the individual will be safe from characteristic point of view but at times it hinders the man function normally. Berne has called these cases " contamination and rejection ". In this research we analyze the behavior of the Ghaznavid's ministers by the two above &ndash; mentioned&nbsp; components and deal with their structural problems . The findings of the research show that most of the relations which are accompanied with tension are the outcome of anger, psychosis and unconscionability.&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

One of the most important manifestations of symbol in Persian poetry has been embodied in fabulous and mythical creatures which required a symbolic outlook at them. Manifestation of this figure, in the whole poetry of Shokat Bokharaee, for his usage of these symbols to express his enigmatic and mystic ideas, is of higher frequencies. There are 114 distiches in his Diwan which deal with fabulous and mystical creatures. The intentional usage of this kind of writing is being strengthened because it is scarcely seen&nbsp; in the books of other poets. Therefore we investigated it to clarify its accuracy and inaccuracy.

The purpose of this research is the sociological criticism of this work and studying and revealing of the imaginative stories of this collection. The sociological criticism of literature is one of the applied methods in the analysis of literary texts, especially the novel which studies the correspondence of social and aesthetical structure of the story. In criticizing of this work we based our activity on the tenets of Gyorgy Lukacs, the founder of this field and the incipient of structuralistic method of Lucian Goldman. The results attained through the analytical-descriptive method show that the main concern of Pirzad, in the illustration of woman's feature in society and peregrination of developmental root starts with consciousness and ends in transformation of her social stance. She, as a realistic writer, has been able to show the re-entering of modernity to Iran after world war II, The change of values, the gap between the generations, the increase of women's share in social activities and the transformation of Iranian society as a whole; the process which led to the basic alteration in the second half of the 70th.

        Today, with the advancement of science and the complexity of the process of doing things, technology transfer has become one of the most important and significant categories in the developing countries. The oil industry is one of the most important industries in our country, which has always faced the challenge of technology transfer, and can use its strategic alliance to complete its domestic technological efforts. Therefore, this research attempts to examine the role of technology transfer as an incentive to enter the technological strategic alliance. In this research, after studying the literature and using the library method, the subject matter has been studied; Subsequently, using the qualitative approach and interviewing the experts, the concepts and categories affecting the transfer of technology as an incentive to enter the alliances have been addressed. One of the key issues in this regard is the acquisition of technology that has resulted from the concepts of technological learning, technological capability, the use of complementary technologies and access to technology. Another identified category is the adaptation to change which is derived from the concept of response to technological change. The third identified category in technology transfer is the management of the technology development process which incorporates concepts of cost-effective technology savings, access to international technological markets, and competitive and technological advantage. Finally, the category of technology utilization derived from the concepts of the use of the latest technological innovations, the sharing of technological resources, and the promotion of innovation and creativity of the company.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of technological innovation capabilities on employees' willingness to innovate in Isfahan Zob Ahan Company. after reviewing the research background, 11 dimensions were extracted. The data of this study were collected through a questionnaire. For analyzing the data, structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach was used which, given that a significant number of hypotheses were not approved, were returned to the industry for reconsideration reasons and interviews with selected individuals were formed from different levels of organization. The staff members introduced issues such as meritocracy, planning for a career path for individuals, and alignment of staff and managers, which, in their view, could affect the employees' willingness to innovate technologically. In the last step, using the data obtained from the questionnaire and Excel software, the correlation matrix was extracted and used as input of the FCMapper software. Then we introduced the FCMapper output in the Pajek software to draw a fuzzy cognitive map. Based on the research findings, the dimensions of research and development capability, strategic planning capability and organizational capability with the highest degree of centrality were identified.

        Survival and life of an organization depend on correct decisions when facing opportunities and threats in the external environment of the organization. Since no organization can have infinite resources, strategists must decide on which strategy among various ones can lead to maximum profit. SWOT analysis enables managers to discover and identify internal and external factors affecting strategies of the organization. Therefore, the above-mentioned analysis is an appropriate tool to formulate strategies; however, it does not have the capability to evaluate the dependency of identified factors. In this study, a Fuzzy-ANP model is used to support SWOT process. This model considers not only the internal dependency of factors but also the ambiguity that appears in the opinions of decision makers by the application of the model in the fuzzy environment; although that the current techniques such as AHP consider factors independently. The network model presented here to analyze SWOT consists of four levels: the goal (best strategy) is in the first level; SWOT criteria, 4 main criteria and 24 sub-criteria are in the second and third level respectively; and finally alternatives (4 strategy). To calculate weights of SWOT factors, based on ANP method, a questionnaire in the form of paired comparison is designed and then given to the experts of the company studied. Afterwards, the geometric mean is applied, and finally based on ANP model, SO strategy with maximum weight is selected for the company. Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of iron, manganese and zinc foliar spray on the yield and grain protein in barley, an experiment was carried out in a randomized completely block design with 3 replications in Darab, during 2012-2013. The total of 8 treatments were used that consisted of T1- Control test without spraying, T2- Spraying with a concentration of 0.2% iron, T3- 0.2% zinc, T4- 0.2% Mn, T5- T2+T3, T6- T2+T4, T7- T3+T4 and T8- T2+T3+T4. The results showed that application of micronutrient fertilizers increased the yield and yield components of barley. So that the simultaneous application of iron, zinc and manganese could significantly increase the grain yield, number of grains per ear, 1000 seed weight, biological yield, harvest index, stem soluble carbohydrates and grain protein. The highest concentrations of iron, zinc and manganese in grain and leaf were observed when each one of the elements was individually sprayed on plant aerial parts. The lowest concentrations of iron, zinc and manganese in grain were obtained in the combination of zinc+ manganese, iron+ manganese and iron + zinc, respectively. Among the applied, iron had the best effect on the increase of grain yield than the other elements. By increasing the number of elements used in the spraying solutions, their efficiency in supplying the plant requirement was reduced. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that in addition to grain enrichment, the micronutrient fertilizers have been able to increase the yield and yield components of the barley Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and plant density on wheat yield and yield component an experiment was done as factorial bases on randomized complete block design with three replications at the Agricultural Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Bu-Ali Sina, during 2011-12 growing season. Experimental factors were: fertilizer levels (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg N ha-1) and plant density (150, 300 and 450 plant m2). According to the data analysis, effect of nitrogen and plant density on all traits except harvest index were significant. Means comparison showed by increasing at N fertilizer; plant height, grain number per spike, 1000-seeds weight, biological yield, chlorophyll index and protein percentage were increased. But, by increasing at plant density; grain number per spike, 1000-seeds weight, chlorophyll index and protein percentage were decreased. The traits such as spike number per m2, grain yield and protein yield were affected by fertilizer &times; density interaction, significantly. The highest grain yield and protein yield (500 and 68.50 g m-2, respectively) were achieved at 160 kg N fertilizer &times; 300 plant per m2 treatment. So, pay attention to the results of present research, it seems that density of 300 plants with consumption of 120 kg N ha-1 is suitable for producing maximum grain and protein yields of wheat.

        In order to determine the vertical distribution of leaf area index and remobilization of assimilates to grain in mid- and late maturing hybrids of grain corn, an experiment was carried out in Randomize complete block design (RCBD) with four replications in Lorestan Agriculture Research Center in 2014. Average numbers of green leaves in investigated hybrids at flowering stage were 11. Vertical distribution of leaf area index curve was third-order polynomial as bell-shaped with highest leaf area density in the middle of canopy. A third-order polynomial accurately as S-shaped curve described the relationship between cumulative leaf area index (LAI) and plant height at tassel emergence stage. Maximum and minimum of total LAI were achieved from hybrids 4 and 9 respectively, but highest and lowest grain yield achieved from hybrids 11 and 3 (8675.5 and 6237.3 kg/ha, respectively). No remobilization was found between hybrids. Significant and negative correlation between remobilization and LAI (-0.54*), non significant correlation between grain yield and LAI and lack of remobilization indicates a high level of current photosynthesis in the grain filling stage with a severe physiological sink restriction in advanced grain corn hybrids.

        Genotype safflower is scattered throughout the world from India and China to Africa and Europe. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between plant yield, yield components and morphological traits, as well as accurate recognition of traits affecting the yield on 32 safflower genotypes in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch. Among the studied genotypes, there was a significant difference in all studied traits such as plant yield, 1000-seed weight, number of branches, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, flowering time, flowering time, plant height and flowering time until there was an examination that indicated a high diversity in the germplasm studied. Among the yield components, the most heritability was attributed to 1000 seed weight and number of branches, and the lowest heritability was attributed to plant yield, which indicates that indirect modification of yield would be more beneficial. Plant height and number of branches can be used as an index of selection in breeding programs. Cluster analysis based on morphological traits categorized genotypes into five clusters. Based on the results of this study, it can be stated that by improving the traits of boll weights and number of bolls per plant, it is possible to achieve the desired grain yield in safflower genotypes.

        The present experiment was carried out to study the effect of planting date on yield and yield componts of some faba bean genotypes in a split plot based on Complete Randomized Block Design with three replicates in Guilan province during 2014-15 growing season. The main factor was four planting dates (20 November, 19 December, 5 January and 1 March) and the split factor was six faba bean genotypes (Guilan landrace, Borojerd landrace, France, Barrakat, FILIP3 and FILIP5). The effect of planting date was significant on all of the studied traits. The effect of genotype was also significant on all traits exept of days to maturity and relative water content. Interactions of two factors were significant on seed yield, number of days to emergence, hundred seed weight, number of seeds per pod and number of pods per plant. The highest ripening time of seeds (175.22 days) was observed in the first planting date and this time in the last planting date was reduced by 42%. Due to the significant interaction of genotype by sowing date, the simple effect of genotype was investigated at each level of sowing date and it was shown that in all four sowing dates, Gilan landrace had the highest grain yield with 3208.04, 1858, 110.8, 605.2 kg ha-1, respectively. Delay in planting incrased the seed nitrogen content by 22%. According to the results of present study and due to climatic ondition, early November is considered as an appropriate time for planting faba beans in the studied area. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: MS is the most common disabling neurological disease in young people. Visual dysfunction is one of the most common clinical manifestation of Multiple Sclerosis. As 25% of people with MS have visual dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of ocular manifestation in MS patients in Mashhad Methods: In this study 150 MS patients from who referred to the MS society Mashhad&nbsp; were examined. Their ocular and neurological manifestations were recorded in questionnaire. The frequency of these manifestations by age, sex, age of onset, family history and location was assessed. Results: The mean age of patients who were evaluated was 33/48 years. The mean age at onset of the disease was 28/43 years. 126 patients were female and 24 were male. 92% of those were living in urban areas and 16% of patients had a family history of MS. Disc atrophy and optic neuritis with a frequency of 14/7% and 12% were the most common ocular signs in our patients. In 42/7% of patients the onset of disease was only with ocular symptoms. Some ocular manifestations were significantly more common in men, people under 30 years, people living in rural areas and those with family history of MS. 24% of patients had important ocular signs including optic neuritis, disc atrophy, retrobulbar neuritis, papillitis . Conclusion: Visual dysfunction is one of the most common clinical manifestations of MS. The incidence of these manifestations is associated with some factors such as age, sex, age at onset, location and family history. Therefore it is necessary to consider demographic characteristics in the initial evaluation of patient. Ocular symptoms are common at the onset of MS. So in the patients with complaint of ocular symptoms including blurred vision and diplopia MS should be considered. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        In this study, in order to assess qualitatively the status fish ponds, three fish ponds in northern Iran were investigated. Water and fish samples were collected in the mid-June, August and October, 2014. Some parameters (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, transparency (SD), nitrate and phosphate) were measured on the sites while the others (Chlorophyll-a, Fe, Zn, total weight, total length, K and phytoplankton identification) were estimated at the laboratory using standard methods and procedures. The principal component analysis (PCA) and One-Way ANOVA were conducted to statistical analysis. The result showed that, during the study period, in the three fish ponds, the phytoplankton population was dominated by Bacillariophyceae (25%) followed by Chlorophyceae (23%) and Cyanophyceae (22%). Among Cyanophyceae, Chroococcus (35%) and Merismopedia (25%) were dominant. The results obtained from PCA indicated, the first three axes explain more than of 80 % of the total variance. The first axes (PC1) include EC, Chl-a, pH and SD. Also, significant differences were observed in temperature, DO, No3, Chl-a concentration, total weight and total length over the period of three months (p &lt; 0.05). The observations in this study suggest that based on the determined desirable limits for water quality in fish ponds, and based on obtained results from the fish biometry and K,&nbsp; generally, studied ponds are suitable for fish farming and can supply optimum and healthy production. &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Spirulina is a filamentous photosynthesizing cyanobacterium that has been widely used in various industries, including the food industry, due to its high amount of protein and antioxidants. Echinacea purpurea is one of the medicinal plants used alone or with other medicinal plants to strengthen the immune system in traditional medicine. This study aimed to compare the cyanobacterium spirulina, the medicinal plant Echinacea purpurea, and the antiparasitic drug and immune stimulant levamisole on blood and biochemical indicators of native breed dogs. In this study, 24 native dogs were randomly selected and divided into four groups of six. During a period of 30 days, the control group did not receive any intervention, but the other groups received capsules containing spirulina powder, capsule containing the powder of Echinacea purpurea plant, and Levamisole tablets. Finally, blood and biochemical parameters were measured. Finally, the obtained results were analyzed with SPSS statistical software at the p&lt;0.05 level. The results obtained in the present study indicated that the total number of white blood cells and neutrophils and lymphocytes increased significantly in all treatments compared to the control group (p&lt;0.05). The findings of this study show that cyanobacterium spirulina and Echinacea purpurea powder can probably strengthen the immune system. Manuscript profile

        Cycocel as a growth regulator and micronutrient elements can moderate the effects of drought stress. This research was conducted in order to investigate the effect of foliar spraying of cycocel and iron and zinc micronutrient elements on the yield and physiological traits of wheat pishgam cultivar under drought stress conditions in a private farm in Rabat Karim, Tehran, during the cropping years of 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The experiment was carried out in the form of split plots in the form of a randomized complete block design in three replications. In this experiment, irrigation at two levels (I1: full irrigation (custom of the region) and I2: interruption of irrigation at the beginning of the spike emergence stage or 51 Zadoks) As the main factor, cycocel at two levels (C1: no use (spraying solution with pure water) and C2: consumption of cycocel at the rate of 0.5 liters per hectare) and foliar application of micronutrient elements in two stages of stem formation and spike emergence at four levels (F1: no use (pure water spray solution), F2: iron foliar application, F3: zinc foliar application, and F4: iron foliar application + zinc (each at a ratio of 3 per thousand) As sub-factors, they were factorial placed in sub-plots. The results of composite data analysis showed that the main effect of irrigation, cycocel foliar application and the interaction effect of irrigation &times; cycocel at the level of five percent and foliar application of micronutrient elements at the level of one percent was significant on grain yield. The results of comparing the averages of the effect of irrigation and cycocel on grain yield showed that the highest grain yield belonged to the cycocel application treatment under normal irrigation conditions with an average of 7077 kg/ha. The use of cycocel in normal irrigation conditions and also in stress conditions in the spike stage or 51 Zadoks increased grain yield. This increase was more evident under normal irrigation conditions. The results of comparing the averages of the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on grain yield showed that iron + zinc foliar application had the highest grain yield with an average of 5543 kg/ha, and the lowest grain yield belonged to the control treatment with an average of 4638 kg/ha. According to the obtained results, although the drought is causing damage to wheat, but cycocel, iron and Zinc foliar application partially compensated the damage caused by drought stress.

        Paclobutrazol is a plant growth regulator that reduces gibberellin in plants. In this research, paclobutrazol and nitrogen foliar application was investigated on the yield and grain quality of superwheat hybrid cultivar in Karaj region, in the form of split plots in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications in the crop year 2017-2018. The main factor in this experiment included three different levels of nitrogen (60, 105 and 150 kg/ha) from the urea source, the second factor included two levels of paclobutrazol (zero and 200 mg/liter). The results showed that the application of paclobutrazol increased the grain yield and grain quality of wheat, and with the increase in the amount of nitrogen, the yield, yield components and quality of wheat grain increased. The highest amount of seed yield was 14.05 ton/ha, the number of seeds per spike was 89.35 seeds, the harvest index was 43.41% and the seed protein was 12.44% related to the mutual effects of nitrogen 150 kg per hectare and the application of paclobutrazol. Therefore, in order to increase the yield and quality of wheat grain, it is recommended to use paclobutrazol along with nitrogen at 150 kg per hectare. Manuscript profile

        In order to investigate the effect of nitrogen and phosphorus biological fertilizers on the yield of red beans, a factorial experiment was conducted in the form of a randomized complete block design with replication in the agricultural year of 2012 in a farm located in Bravar region of Borojar city. The experimental treatments included the use of biological nitrogen fertilizers including&nbsp; nitroxin and 2 special bean rhizobium fertilizers&nbsp; nitro cara fertilizer&nbsp; (control sample) was used. Phosphorous fertilizers including:&nbsp; bio superphosphate&nbsp; fertilizing 2.without fertilizer (control sample) were investigated. Based on the results of this research, it was determined that the mutual effect of the use of nitrogen and phosphorus biological fertilizers on plant height traits, the number of seeds per pod, as well as the simple effect of phosphorus biological fertilizer on the characteristics of the weight of one thousand seeds, the number of pods per plant, and the simple effect of nitrogen biological fertilizer on the characteristics of economic performance was significant at the 1% probability level. Also, the simple effect of phosphorus fertilizer was significant. Economic yield is significant at the 5% probability level. The simple effect of nitrogen and phosphorus and the mutual effects of fertilizers on the attributes of thousand-seed weight and the number of pods per plant are insignificant. The results of the comparison table of Duncan's mean show that in terms of grain yield, the highest yield of red bean seeds is related to fertilizer. Biological nitrogen level&nbsp; (Nitro kara) is 634.2 kg/h, and also the highest number of seeds per pod and the number of pods per plant are related to biological nitrogen fertilizer level&nbsp; (Nitro kara) is 7 seeds per pod and 19.33 pods per plant, respectively. In total, Nitro kara biological fertilizer had the most positive effect on the performance and performance components of beans, which can be used to prevent excessive use of chemical fertilizers and environmental problems caused by their use, while producing good and stable products.

        The aim of present study was to investigate life cycle assessment of Iranian rice cultivars production affected by NPK chemical fertilizers using management. The experiment was conducted in farms located in Mazandaran province, Sari, during 2017 and 2018. The experiment was performed as split plot in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The different doses of fertilizer treatments at five levels including F1: 250 kg N ha-1 + 150 kg P ha-1 + 150 kg K ha-1 (N250P150K150), F2: 200 kg N ha-1 + 100 kg P ha-1 + 100 kg K ha-1 (N200P100K100), F3: 150 kg N ha-1 + 75 kg P ha-1 + 75 kg K ha-1 (N150P75K75), F4: 100 kg N ha-1 + 50 kg P ha-1 + 50 kg K ha-1 (N100P50K50), and F5: Control or no application of fertilizer treatments (N0P0K0) as main plot and local rice cultivars at two levels of Sang Tarom and Tarom Hashemi were considered as sub-plots. The results showed that an average amount of cumulative energy demand and cumulative exergy demand was 11549.78 and 13443.08 MJ, respectively that with increase of nitrogen consumption, both indices showed a decreasing trend. The average ecological footprint was 1190.80 m2a which CO2 emissions had shown the highest effect on the ecological footprint. The average of the impact categories of abiotic depletion was equals 12.44 kg Sb eq, acidification (3.15 kg SO2 eq), eutrophiction (2.33 kg PO4 eq), malodorous air (7295733 m3 air), freshwater sediment ecotoxicity (75.79 kg 1,4 DB eq), marine sediment ecotoxicity (116.11 kg 1,4 DB eq) that all of which decreased with increasing nitrogen consumption. The average global warming potential (GWP) 20a and GWP 500a were 399.20 and 382.97 kg CO2 eq, respectively. Two indicators of human toxicity and terrestrial ecotoxicity in the three periods of 20, 100 and 500 years shows increasing amounts equal 0.42% and 140.70% during 20a to 500a, respectively. All pollutants released into the air and the water demonstrated a decreasing trend with increasing nitrogen amounts. The emission of nitrate into soil, metals into the soil, and chemical oxygen demand showed a decreasing trend with increasing nitrogen levels. By group comparing between different levels of nitrogen at splitting levels, it can be stated that the main cause of variations in the amount of pollutants was the higher output (yield) compared to inputs. Indeed, nitrogen uptake in four developmental stages has resulted in maximum plant use, resulting in increased yield and emission reduction per unit area. Therefore, reducing the emission of pollutants by increasing nitrogen consumption can be due to increase of yield. According to the findings of this study, the application of N150P75K75 treatment is a better option to improving the yield of rice cultivars along with a decrease in chemical fertilizers and subsequent reduced fertilizers costs and environmental damages.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Coccidiosis is a signifcant problem in the industrial poultry raising systems and several drugs are being used in order to prevent and treat this problem. Ionophores are the most common anticoccidials drug. Salinomycin has an extreme use in Iran poultry industry as a coccidiostat drug, this study has been performed to evaluate toxicity effects of its overdoses in broiler chickens infected by experimental coccidiosis on the basis of histopathological fndings. 50 female Cobb-500 day-old chicks randomly divided in 5 groups (control positive, control negative and treatment 1, 2 and 3). All chickens were infected by Eimeria strains included 25% E.tenella, 40% E.maxima, 20% E.acervulina and 15% E.necatrix in oral administration of 100 (equal to 10000 Oocysts). Control positive group was received preventing dose of Salinomycin (75 ppm). Chickens in treatment groups 1, 2 and 3 received 150, 300 and 600 ppm of drug respectively and in negative control group no drug was added after contamination. During the study, external symptoms and necropsy fndings were exactly evaluated. The tissue samples were fxed in neutral buffered 10% formalin, routinely embedded in paraffn and stained with H&amp;E. Results indicated that higher doses (up to 75 ppm) of Salinomycin increase depression and paralysis. Toxicated chickens were depressed and muscles atrophy, falling down of wings and neck and also green diarrhea were observed obviously. Macroscopic examination confrmed that enhancement the dose of Salinomycin signifcantly prevent intestinal villi and mucous destruction due to Eimeria invasion, but influence growing performance considerably. Acute Cell Swelling (ACS) in proximal tubules and Acute Tubular Necrosis (ATN) were obvious pathologic fndings in kidneys. Microscopic fndings indicate congestion and hemorrhage in the majority of tissues with necrosis and accumulation of inflammatory cells. Manuscript profile

        Abortion and fetal loss are the most important problems in industrial dairy cattle, which causing a lot of economiclosses to dairy herds. Abortion causes are classifed into two major classes. Infectious and non-infectious classes,Bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoal agents are in infectious causes of abortion and nutritional factors, chemicals,drugs, poisons, are in non-infectious class, poisonous plants and hormonal factors are in non-infectious causes ofabortion. Many infectious agents cause changes in fetus and placenta which some of them are specifc and someare shared with other agents. Many aborted fetuses can be detected by careful review of pathological fndingsand can be solved in order to be tried in the herd. Pathological changes in aborted fetuses can be investigatedby macroscopic and microscopic survey. On the basis of existing studies, some of the pathological lesions arecompletely specifc and can be detected by microscopic observation. To determine the causes of abortion inTehran province dairy herds and their macroscopic and microscopic lesions, 200 aborted fetuses were collectedin four consecutive seasons. After necropsy, the macroscopic lesions in their various organs were observed andtissue samples obtained from the brain, cerebellum, heart, liver, spleen, kidney, lung and skeletal muscle werefxed in neutral buffered 10% formalin, routinely embedded in paraffn and stained with H&amp;E. The results ofthis study showed that most abortions in dairy herds of the west region of Tehran province are due to 4 diseases:Neosporosis, BVD, Leptospirosis and IBR. On the basis of these results, each one had its specifc histopathologicalcharacteristics which can be used for the purpose of diagnosis. Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluate the effect of irrigation on morphological and functional characteristics of corn hybrids (704 NS640, Zp434, SC260, MG89 70), split plot experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment in Qazvin province during three years of cultivar 2016, 2017 and 2018. The studied factors were five maize hybrids in the main plots and irrigation methods in three levels (stagnant, droplet, and static) in the subplots. Combined analysis of variance showed that grain yield and 1000 grain weight were affected by irrigation methods. Crop yield, relative humidity and dry weight percentage of wheat were significantly different in different irrigation methods. The average yield of SC260 and MG70 89 hybrids with 14820 and 14790 kg in sprinkler irrigation and 704 in drip irrigation with 13419 kg yield, respectively. The highest total weight belonged to NS 640 in irrigation method with 34.7% and the lowest relative humidity of MG70 89 in irrigation and stacking method was 18.33. On the other hand, there was a significant negative correlation with leaf width trait. The regression model was significant and five traits of leaf number, leaf width, 1000 grain weight, total fresh weight and number of seeds per ear were regression models. In total, the fitting coefficient of the fitted model was 97.98% of the yield variation Grain was justified by these five traits, and selection would be effective in increasing the yield of dry leaves through these traits. Based on the results, it seems that in the province of Qazvin, which faced with water shortage, and with regard to the amount of water saving, the SC260 and MG70 89 hybrids had the highest performance with static classical irrigation.

        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. The research is conducted with a qualitative and historical approach, by using David Beetham's analytical model of political legitimacy. Manuscript profile

        This article deals with the place of psychological development in Iran's public policy. The necessity of this issue is because the explanation of a series of psychological factors will determine the reasons for the realization of development policy. The purpose is to explain the indicators of psychological development and in the general policy of development. In the importance of the present discussion, it should be said that value, belief, norm, behavior and rationality play a fundamental role in examining the results of the public policy process in Iran. The question here is what is the place of psychological development in public policy making? The hypothesis states that psychological development by institutionalizing indicators such as value, belief, norm, behavior and rationality in Iran can lead to sustainable development of the country. The theoretical framework, inspired by the theories of psychological renewal, seeks to consolidate the proof of the hypothesis. Therefore, with the help of descriptive and analytical method, the desired indicators have been explained. The results showed that the development of psychological indicators and good governance lead to the realization of general development policies in Iran. Manuscript profile

        Development process has some prerequisites in which the theoretical bases constantly play a significant and considerable role. However, this point is not clearly before us. The science itself needs to be developed. Therefore, the developing countries are confronted with a cycle of development and science; and science development is one the solutions for the above-mentioned problem. Nevertheless, this involves numerous epistemological approaches. There are two main epistemological streams &ldquo;functional indigenism&rdquo; and &ldquo;epistemological indigenism&rdquo; in the discussions related to Humanities development. These two streams have always had approach opposition which has led to development reduction in Humanities. In this paper, it is aimed to address this question using a qualitative method and applying qualitative data collection tools. The main research question is how the opposition of functional indigenism approach and epistemological indigenism approach in domestication and development of Humanities can make this area efficient or inefficient. The main hypothesis in this paper articulates that the opposition of functional indigenism approach and epistemological indigenism approach slows the development process of Humanities and impedes operationalizing domestication in Iran and the solution is moving toward taking the integrative-synthetic approach in this area.

        Following the emergence of modernism and the serious damages of the 20th and 21st century to nature as the habitat of humans and the danger of its destruction, researchers in the field of ecological criticism literature introduced it as a new science. An approach that deals with the relationship between literature, art and nature and their mutual influence, so that maybe by focusing on this issue, considerations regarding the preservation and protection of the habitat by the human society can be considered. Although human action and behavior changes with the transformation of the social structure system and under the influence of the philosophy of looking at life, but what causes a friendly or competitive relationship with nature, becoming unique or superior to it, has roots in the human psyche that are more primitive and more fundamental than superstructures. In this article, which has been done in a descriptive-analytical way, an attempt has been made to investigate the root of damage to nature, which has caused the formation of ecological criticism. Components such as fear of nature, animism of nature, the existence and presence of the maternal descent system, and finally modernity, each of which has determined the limits, limits, why and how of the relationship and behavior at a specific time, and of course the role and relations of power in this influence and impression can also be is attention Manuscript profile

        In mysticism, the manifestation of the divine spirit in the existence of a perfect human being is interpreted as love for the essence of truth. In mysticism, the human soul is in the process of being exalted and moving towards the truth. In the last stage of death, the perfect human being finds God-like truth like the thirty birds of Attar and the pilgrims in the mystical works. In mysticism, the most important criterion for a seeker's conduct is the presence of an old man with a self-possessed soul and a mentor. A father, a mentor or a sheikh in mysticism, with his insight, clarity and sharpness, invites seekers and people in general to refine the self,preserve character and morals. Attar Neishabouri,the great poet and mystic of the 6th and 7th centuries, has placed allegory as the basis and principle of his stories.In al-Tayr logic, he has presented the meanings and long mystical themes,including the old man's theorem, in the best way in the form of allegory and symbol. The importance of the presence of elders and guides in showing the way to the seeker creates the necessity of research on this issue.The purpose of this research is to explain the allegory and symbol of the old man with the descriptive-analytical method and library collection and to explain its guiding and instructive role and to find the aspects of knowledge, leadership and meaning in the character, in the story of Simorgh and Simorgh from Al-Tir logic.

        Identifying the critical time and timing of plant irrigation based on a precise and basic plan is the key to water conservation, improvement of irrigation operations and plant tolerance to water shortage in agriculture. In recent years, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in many plants to deal with dehydration and drought stress. In this regard, an experiment was conducted as split-plot in the form of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Yasuj region at years 2015 and 2016. Water stress was considered as the main factor in the form of irrigation after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of evaporation from the evaporation pan class A and mycorrhizal fungus was considered as a secondary factor in the form of no application, application of Glomus mosseae and application of Glomus intraradices. The results showed that the interaction of irrigation and mycorrhizal fungi on flower phosphorus, flower yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage was significant. In irrigation levels after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan, the use of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices compared to the absence of fungi respectively increased the yield of plant flowers (30.04% and 27.35 %), (90.2% and 90.98%), (93.21% and 94.1%) and (81.73% and 78.86%), also, at these levels of irrigation, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage flower achieved a significant increase in the presence of mycorrhizal fungus, compared to the absence of mycorrhizal fungus application. Application of both strains of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices in irrigation levels after 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan compared to no application of mycorrhizal fungus, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in the harvest index of Borage flower (44.55% and 43.36%), (13.21% and 15.96%) and (5.6% and 5.41%) and flower phosphorus (44.69% and 20.45%), (150% and 125%) and ( 267.74% and 235.48%). Mycorrhizal fungus was able to moderate the negative effects of drought stress and increase the above-mentioned traits in those irrigation levels, and based on the results of this study, irrigation treatment after 90 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan + the use of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizal fungi is recommended.

        Treated wastewater is important for plant irrigation in arid and semi-arid regions. Althaea officinalis belongs to the Malvaceae family and contains high levels of glazed compounds and mucilage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of ‏ ‏urban wastewater on growth and some ‎physiological characteristics of Althaea officinalis. The seeds of A. officinalis were cultured in the pots containing perlite. The plants were treated with different levels of urbane wastewater of Yasouj (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in three replications. The experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete blocks design. The plants were harvested after three weeks’ irrigation with different concentrations of wastewater for further analysis. The results have shown that wastewater treatments increased the fresh and dry weight of shoots, the leaf area, the height of plant and roots length. The highest growth rate was obtained in plants irrigated with un-diluted wastewater. In response to wastewater treatment, the amount of photosynthetic pigments including chlorophylls a, b, a+b, and carotenoids increased and the highest level of increase was observed at 100% of wastewater. Anthocyanins and flavonoids increased in response to wastewater irrigation while proteins decreased. No cadmium and lead were detected in the leaves and roots of wastewater-irrigated plants. Overall, the results of this study showed a positive response of A. officinalis to urbane-wastewater-irrigation. Manuscript profile

        Improving the problems of life in ancient times was a unique role of philosophy. This central role was forgotten due to the dominance of science in the modern era. But in the contemporary era, philosophy has come to its senses and is trying to revive its position in life through practical activities such as philosophical counselling. Achieving this goal requires clarifying the boundaries of differentiation between this emerging approach and other forms of psychological counselling. Therefore, this research was done with the aim of explaining the differences between philosophical counselling and psychological counselling. The type of research is applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of approach, and conceptual analysis method and interpretive method were used to explain the purpose. Based on the findings of the research, the differences between these two areas can be explained in terms of the difference in definition, therapeutic role, topic, task and role, skills, goals and the relationship between client and consultant. The results of the research showed that these two areas can support each other as a complement and consider the worldview and mental state of the clients together. Manuscript profile

        To investigate the effect of tillage systems and nitrogen fertilizer on corn characteristics, in 2016 and 2017, a research field was conducted in the research farm of Islamic Azad University Chalous Branch during two cropping years.The experiment was performed as a split-plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Experimental factors include tillage at three levels (no-tillage, conservation tillage and conventional tillage) in the main plot and nitrogen fertilizer sources at four levels, including non-application of zero, 33, 66,and 100% of the recommended amount of nitrogen fertilizer based on the test. The soil was on a subplot.Comparing the average effect of tillage showed that the highest grain yield was obtained in conservation tillage treatment at the rate of 10247 kg/ha-1. Comparison of tillage's average effect showed that the highest biological product was received in conservation tillage at the rate of 15754 kg/ha-1. Comparison of the average interaction of the year in tillage also showed that the highest NUPE was observed in the conservation tillage treatment in the second year at the rate of 0.90 kg.kg-1, which showed an increase of 47% compared to the treatment no tillage in the first year. NUPE in tillage treatments increased in the second year compared to the first year, which was higher in conservation and non-tillage tillage treatments. Comparison of the average treatment of nitrogen fertilizer showed that the highest grain nitrogen was obtained in the treatment of 100% nitrogen fertilizer at the rate of 1.98%, which showed an increase of 25.7% compared to the control treatment.In general, the results of this study showed that by applying conservation tillage methods, the least damage can be done to the soil structure, and through this, maximum yield and efficiency can be achieved in the corn plant. Therefore, according to grain yield, the most appropriate treatment for the study area is the use of conservation tillage in the case of fertilizer application of 66% nitrogen. Manuscript profile

        The production of oilseeds, edible leaves, and secondary metabolites of dragon's head makes it an important food, forage, and medicinal plant. Choosing a proper planting date and plant nutrition can make a significant effecton crop plantsgrowth, quality and yield.The effects of planting date (16 March, 14 April, and 13 May 2019) and foliar application of zinc sulfate (zero as control, 2 and 4 g.L-1) on growth indices and seed yield of dragon's head was evaluated under a field experiment.Delayed planting date reduced the days to flowering, days to seed ripening, plant height, leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR) and grain yield, and yield components.In contrast, the use of zinc sulfate increased plant height, LAI, CGR and RGR. There was a correlation between plant height and number of branches and consequently there were more capsules per plant.The highest effect of zinc sulfate application on seed yield and yield components was observed in the first planting date and with delay in planting, the efficiency of zinc sulfate fertilizer application decreased. On the third planting date, zinc sulfate application had no significant effect on grain yield. As a result of late planting, fewer branches, fewer capsules per plant, and smaller seeds contributed to the yield reduction.It was found that early cultivation and application of zinc sulfate increased plant height, number of branches, number of capsules per plant, 1000-seed weight, and thus seed yield, by increasing the days to flowering, days to ripening, LAI, CGR, and RGR.

        Analysis of the evolutionary path of a hero&rsquo;s character in a romantic heroic tale from the viewpoint of psychological criticism based on the case study of the tale of Bizhan and Manizheh &nbsp; *Ma&rsquo;someh Sadeghi Assistant Professor, Persian Literature, Garmsar Branch, Islamic Azad University, Garmsar, Iran &nbsp; Date of reception: 97/2/15 Date of acceptance: 98/6/12 &nbsp; Abstract In psychological criticism character is the main focus of the research.&nbsp; According to this approach, hero&rsquo;s character in Bizhan and Manizheh which is a romantic tale is studied and analyzed in terms of psychological principles to prove the hypothesis that far from the romantic aspects, this genre of stories revolve around the journey the hero undertakes to reach his superior self or his ideal self. This research is based on the descriptive analytic method. &nbsp;Bizhan experiences the darkness of the unconscious by falling into a well, then feeling of guilt prepares the ground for his perfection; a path which begins with an exile in a dark well which is a symbol for the dark side of Bizhan&rsquo;s self whose deliverance necessitates a procedure such as a psychological cure to transform the darkness of the within into the brightness which consciousness and freedom brings forth. As a result Bizhan himself together with Manizheh who is a symbol of his id, pays the price of his guilt with the most enduring tortures in order to gain his freedom.&nbsp; His final trial is a symbol of this advancement. * . sadeghi2002@yahoo.com Manuscript profile

        AbstractResearches conducted on Shahnameh in the 1380s in comparison with the earlier years had proliferated and numerous articles employing novel approaches had been published in the journals of this period.&nbsp; Recognizing the shortcomings of certain articles in terms of structure and content are quite important in view of the abundance of materials found in the domain of Shahnameh studies from 1380 to 1385, hence the criticism and pathology of such works is an essential task.&nbsp; The purpose of this article is to criticize and evaluate a number of such articles using the pathological approach.&nbsp; The research method is descriptive analytic one and the data collection method is library based. Defects such as incompatibility of title with the content, reference to inauthentic Shahnameh editions, inattention to main sources and prior researches, shallow interpretation and concentration on description, repetition of themes, unsystematic and unscientific manner of writing critical essays, employing inappropriate language, imposing meaning to the text, and structural flaws are examined in this study.&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The following hemistich "dark night and heavy maces" was repeated twice on behalf of Rostam in Shahnameh. The next part of this hemistich in other Shahnameh editions is written as "Karzhay-e geran", yet almost all publishers and editors of this text read this as "gorzhay-e geran" which is a more familiar compound and highly employed in Ferdowsi's speech. In one edition of Shahnameh one of its editors had corrected this compound as "korzehay-e geran" and assumed the meaning of "sown field" for "korz" on the basis of that in Haft Khane Rostam. The writer of this article with all due respect to the above interpretation suggest the form "karzhay-e geran" and hence leave the judgement to the authorities. "karz" is a dialectical word popular in Qayen in Khorasan Province which means great crevice in the mountain, and hence "karzhay-e geran" could refer to Rostam's passing these highly dangerous crevices in the mountains of Mazandaran in the story of Haft Khan.

        Without a doubt Shahnameh is a universal text whose humane ethical system goes far beyond the race and geographic barriers.&nbsp; Hence it is not surprising to see the rare capacity of Shahnameh to accommodate so many characters and to attribute world symbols and human character archetypes to them.&nbsp; This research is based on the psychological and archetypal approach used by Carol S. Pearson and Hugh K. Marr in the theory of &ldquo;Awakening the hero within&rdquo; and Joseph Campbell&rsquo;s theory in &ldquo;The hero&rsquo;s journey&rdquo;.&nbsp; Descriptive analytic method was used to prove the above theories in life stories of Seyavash and Kay khosrow in Shahnameh.&nbsp; The result of this analysis seems to suggest that their lives begin with the archetype &ldquo;orphan&rdquo; becomes intrinsic in them despite the changes brought about in their characters and in their life condition, this archetype almost evolves symbolically with death in Siayvash.&nbsp; The outward and objective expression of this evolutionary transformation and awakening is manifested in Kay Khosrow in the form of &ldquo;sage&rdquo; archetype which leads to his awakening.&nbsp; Therefore the process of Ferdowsi&rsquo;s characterization from Seyavash to Kay Khosrow&nbsp; both from the aspect of cycle of life and death ( Plant god and martyre in Seyavash&rsquo;s being to fertility goddess and life in Kay Khosrow&rsquo;s being) and the quality of the here&rsquo;s journey are complementary.

        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.

        Shahnameh enjoys significant scientific capacities in the domain of narratology and the grammar of narration.&nbsp; This article is concerned with the study of a genre of narration namely narrative discourse in Shahnameh in which the narrator upon narrating, all of a sudden exits from the world of the story and addresses the reader in order to have a dialogue with him.&nbsp; Adopting this narrative genre usually at the end of every story is based on rhetorical and exact discourse purposes and is quite influential in inducing the sense of believability of the story and it accentuates the presence of the reader.&nbsp; In such depicted atmosphere one can observe the communicative and emotional function of narrative discourse especially with the time change from the past to present.&nbsp; Also, the narratological approach of this point of view, brings about transmission of emotions, ideology, and mental states which in turn evokes direct emotional involvement with the reader. Author&rsquo;s mental states and his ideological perspectives has direct logical connection with the outcome of actions and events.&nbsp; In a way the author criticizes and judges the actions and behavior of the characters, reveals his own beliefs so that the reader unconsciously perceives the same notion understood by the author and hence accepts his judgment.&nbsp; The purpose of this article is not only to put emphasis on the significance of this genre of narration but also to fully explain the objectives of the narrator in direct dialogue with the audience.&nbsp; This has been done on the basis of narrative criticism and structuralist narratologists&rsquo; views such as Lintvel&rsquo;s.

        &nbsp;Despite their complexities and variations among the mythological archetypes a kind of concordance and closeness is observed in their main theme which renders the comparative study of these narratives possible; the subject of raising certain mythological characters by animals and mythological creatures is of utmost importance. The close study of mythological narratives reveals that in the beginning man and animals lived together and lived in the same manner and no wonder that many of former Gods had dual nature. In many narratives humans and mythological personages were chosen and raised by some animals and due to this upbringing the good or evil nature of those animals were manifested in the material lives of their protected. These narratives are so widespread to the extent that one witnesses their similarity form the Far Eastern myths to Western ones. What is worthy of attention in this regard is the fantastic influence that animals in raising the humans leave behind in forming their characters that place them far beyond the other individuals. The best example of such characteristics are found in the Persian epic myth culture namely in the story of Raising Feraydun by the cow Barmayeh, and the raising of Zal by Simorgh. The subject of this article however limited is reflected in books such as &ldquo;Dictionary of Greek and Roman myths&rdquo; under the entry &ldquo;Paris&rdquo; and &ldquo;Romelus&rdquo;, Shahnameh in the tale of Feraydun and Zal, &ldquo;Dictionary of the Greek myths&rdquo; in the story of raising Eskandar and so forth and the role of animals were pointed out in raising these characters. As far as the author of this article is concerned a work which independently deals with all aspects of raising mythological characters by animals in the myths of different nations was not found, thus the present research aware of such necessity and by employing the comparative approach aims to study and discuss these mythological narratives.

        Chronic pain is a health problem that has a great impact on a person's emotions and physical and social functions. People with chronic diseases also face many psychological problems in addition to physical problems that these psychological factors mutually affect their illness. This study aimed to study the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy on psychological well-being and pain symptoms in children with chronic diseases (diabetes). For this purpose, during a quasi-experimental study designed as pre-test and post-test, 30 children with diabetes in Yazd Diabetes Center were selected by available sampling method and were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups. Subjects were evaluated for psychological well-being and chronic pain symptoms before and after the study. The experimental group received a 10-session mindfulness therapy program. The results of covariance analysis showed that mindfulness therapy is effective in psychological well-being and reducing chronic pain symptoms. Mindfulness seems to help to understand that negative emotions may occur, but are not a permanent part of the personality and it also allows the individual to respond to events thoughtfully rather than involuntary, and mindfulness has a positive effect on psychological well-being and the reduction of chronic pain symptoms in children with chronic diseases (diabetes).

        It should be kept in mind that in human resource management، organizational value increases، so sharing information in organizations depends on the people who facilitate this transfer، as a result of all the factors that encourage or hinder interpersonal communication. That is، they will also affect people\\\'s information exchanges، that\\\'s why the importance of communication and interactions on trust and norms between people in the expansion and application of knowledge is very important. The headquarters staff of the country\\\'s Meteorological Organization also have different information and skills depending on their education، position, and work experience، which enables them to better perform their assigned tasks. They have to communicate and interact with their managers and colleagues to plan، coordinate، etc. Now، considering the multidimensional nature of each person\\\'s work in this organization، it is necessary to transfer and disseminate information and skills to facilitate the work of individuals and achieve organizational goals، and at the same time، eliminate weaknesses and strengthen strengths. Therefore، the purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of human resource management practices on the performance of the country\\\'s meteorological organization with the mediating role of organizational readiness and responsible innovative behavior. The statistical population of the current research consists of the staff of the country\\\'s Meteorological Organization (۲۸۶ people)، and some of them (۱۶۴ people) were studied by simple random sampling. The research method is descriptive-correlation and applied. The data collection tool was a questionnaire and the construct validity was examined through factor analysis، the analysis of research data was done through structural equation modeling using PLS software. The findings of this research showed that human resource management methods have a positive and significant effect on the performance of the country\\\'s meteorological organization with the mediating role of organizational readiness and responsible innovative behavior.

        Hindering factors in the language classes are of various types ranging from teaching context, teacher-provoking factors, error correction procedures, tests impact, and finally the factors that are imposed by the learners themselves (Horwitz, 2001). The goal of this paper was to explore the factors that are suggested into the learning situation by the learners themselves in the teaching-learning context called self-made hindering factors. To his goal, 52 EFL learners establish the participants of the study. The learners belonged to the pre-intermediate level with the age range of 16 to 24. Two instruments were used to collect the data. The first was using a questionnaire to discover the self-made inhibiting factors that the learners were normally exposed to in the speaking class. It was a pre-designed questionnaire consisted of 30 statements that was used before by Yaseen (2018) in a study with EFL learners in Jordan. The other instrument was using PET standard speaking test that would tap the speaking level of the participants of the study. Teachers’ role was introduced as the main factor of inhibition provocation and the second self-made source was the affective factor such as the level of motivation and the anxiety of the learners and the last category was the context and instructional environment. Moreover, a relationship could be explored between apprehension and the three levels. The results were significant and revealed some differences between the three levels and their inhibition sources.

        This article offers a comparative analysis of the societal implications stemming from postmodern urbanization. It employs Asghar Farhadi's The salesman and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman as dual narrative prisms, grounded in Paul Virilio's theoretical paradigm. The study intricately examines the interplay of technology, culture, and societal dynamics within evolving urban landscapes. Meticulously exploring this terrain, it uncovers the nuanced tension between tradition and modernity, shedding light on the erosion of traditional values in rapidly modernizing cities like Tehran and New York. Characters' responses lay bare the dissolution of familial bonds and shifting social roles, reflecting broader urban trends. Through the lens of Virilio's "critical space" concept, the investigation reveals the transformation of urban environments into "cities of the beyond," marked by a swift influx of information and communication technologies. Additionally, the research underscores the pivotal role of cultural production, spanning literature, art, and film, in revealing societal perspectives on postmodern urbanization. By dissecting the reverberations of these shifts, the study offers invaluable insights into potential policy interventions that promote sustainable, equitable, and innovative urban progress. This article provides a comprehensive perspective on the multifaceted repercussions of postmodern urbanization, adeptly bridging literary works, theoretical constructs, and real-world societal dynamics. The urgency of comprehending the consequences of technology-driven urbanization resonates within Iran's post-war context and extends globally. The findings illuminate the intricate process of reconciling tradition with modernity, serving as a foundational basis for interdisciplinary research aimed at forging more inclusive and sustainable urban landscapes.
