Abstract: In this study through field observations, 9 debris flows were investigated and their morphometric characteristics were determined in Roodbarak sub-basin. The most important morphometric characteristics of debris flows in this region are dip of debris flow’s head, dip of debris flow’s slope, length of crossing part, debris flow’s height and size of debris flow’s base. In order to analyze is these morphometric parameters acquired from debris flows of Roodbarak sub-basin, linear regression has been used for a meaningful analysis between parameters. According to the results of linear regression, maximum coefficient of determination of the size of debris flow’s base is computed with the independent variable of debris flow’s height (0.89) and after that with the length of crossing part (0.55) that shows more justification and determination of variation in the size of debris flow’s base with these two parameters. After these two parameters, the coefficient of determination for slope’s dip is 0.37 and the weakest coefficient of determination for dip is the one between head and slope of the debris flow having the current base. The results of quantitative analyses between the volume of debris and other independent variables also show that with a coefficient of determination of 0.95, the variable related to the length of crossing part has the most correlation with dependent variable (the volume of debris). Afterwards, the coefficient of determination for the crossing part was determined 0.82. Using the factor analysis, the most important factors in variation of the size of debris flow’s base and debris volume were determined as the respond variables. Regarding to the results of factor analysis by rotation of varimax, 3 effective components on variation of the base size of debris flows in Roodbarak sub-basin were determined that the first component has a dip of 0.95 for debris flow’s base, justifying 45.5 percent of changes of variance and is the most effective component on the respond variable. In this component, the height of debris flow and the length of crossing part with coefficient of 0.97 and 0.88, respectively, have a strong positive relation with the respond variable (the size of debris flow’s base) and are the most important parameters of variability of this dependent variable. In the first component, slope’s dip has a strong negative relation with dependent variable (the size of base); in other words, the size of debris flow’ base gets smaller when slope’s dip gets increased. For the dependent variable of the volume of debris, two effective variables on this variable were acquired by application of factor analysis; these two components justify 75.2 percent of changes of variance. First component with a coefficient of 0.96 is the principle effective component on variation of debris volume that justifies 54.7 percent of variance changes.

Abstract: High soil salinity is one of the important environmental factors that limit distribution and productivity of major crops. So the investigation of the plants and finding some method to resist the plants against salinity stress is very important. Considering Iran and Azerbaijan as origin countries in Astara region, and in order to study the effects of salt stress (NACL) on, Sodium content of leaves, proline, grain yield, plant height, Leaf chlorophyll content, leaf number and 100 grain weight of 8 maize cultivars were experimented in three replications on the basis of randomized complete block design in three years (2007-2009). Cultivars included K3615/1, S.C704, B73, S.C302, Waxy, K3546/6, K3653/2, and Zaqatala and they were cultivated in two pieces of land in Astara: one with normal soil and the other with salty soil. Results from the experiment showed that, between locations (normal and saline) in all traits, significant differences were seen. Between varieties in all traits, significant differences were seen. The interaction between years and varieties, years and varieties and locations for all traits was not significant. Comparison traits in different salinities showed that in most traits, there are significant differences between genotypes. Maximum of chlorophyll content was seen in S.C704, B73 and S.C302 under normal conditions. There was no significant difference between them. In the sodium content of leaves, a significant difference was seen between varieties at 1% level. The maximum amount of sodium was obtained In sc704 at salty conditions. The maximum of proline were measured In the S.C704 cultivar at salinity conditions. Grain yield was significantly negatively correlated with proline and showed a significant positive correlation with sodium. In normal conditions a significant negative correlation between the proline and sodium content were obtained with increasing salinity, between the leaves proline with the amount of sodium was significantly positive correlated.

Abstract: Increasing energy demands in different sectors of the world societies has faced a major challenge. Decrease of fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas as non-renewable fuels and fuel price increases highlights the importance and need of replacing the current energy systems. One of these choices is the use of energy from biomass sources. Biogas as one of the energy sources is obtained from decomposition and fermentation of agricultural residues, animal and human wastes and industrial waste to produce methane gas. Some of these materials come out from biogas machine as sludge compost which their fertilizer quality is good. Biogas can be used as well as an energy carrier to replace fossil fuels. The objective of this study was to design and construction of automated laboratory reactor biogas and to produce biogas from different raw materials. Programmable and automatic control reactor has been designed and equipped with 50-liter-scale digester, mixing and heating systems, digital pH metre. Structural type of the digester was batch type. Devices that measure the volume of gas produced from an electronic circuit, 3 solenoid valves, transfer tubes, glass containers and stored in distilled water into the measuring cylinder gas (hypocrite), also designed and built. The reactor produced biogas biomass potential can be determined from the rate of biogas production and thus meet the energy needs of the region.

Abstract: Banking nowadays is a vital chain sub-structure in economies; Banks provide customers with many financial services but as a unwritten but pervasive crisis, lack of innovation in financial services and products became a permanent problem of newly-entered banks, as well as established ones. In this paper, we propose some vital but neglected areas of acting to some extent innovatively, and so we develop an innovative-centered business model reconstructions, that aim to reach ontological level in future researches. This objective came true via Banking Business Model (BBM) project that is a broad business model design project for banking industry, and a part of this named Program C (Program of Change) will be presented here. Results show that many bankers have not enough knowledge about business model so Program C helps them as a starting point.

Salmonella Sepsis and Osteomyelitis in Sickle Cell Disease

 

Abstract: We report a 19 months old boy with 3 days history of fever and left mid-arm pain and swelling. On examination his temperature was 39.50C, left mid-arm was swollen with tenderness, redness and hotness. Total white cell count was 15x109/L with 75% neutrophils, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was 109 mm/hour, and x-ray of the affected bone revealed periosteal elevations, irregular destructive lesions and sequestra formation. Cultures from the blood and from the bone biopsy revealed salmonella enteriditis group D. The patient was treated according to the results of the culture and sensitivity. Therefore, salmonella osteomyelitis should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis of soteomyelitis in children with sickle cell anemia. The choice, dosage, and duration of antibiotics therapy should be determined by causative organisms.

Abstract: Considering Iran and Azerbaijan as origin countries in Astara region, and in order to study the effects of salt stress (NACL) on morphological characteristics changes of 8 maize cultivars were experimented in three replications on the basis of randomized complete block design. Cultivars included K3615/1, S.C704, B73, S.C302, Waxy, K3546/6, K3653/2, and Zaqatala and they were cultivated in two pieces of land in Astara: one with normal soil and the other with salty soil. During the experiment, Salt accumulation in leaves, leaf numbers, Leaf length, and yield characteristics such as weight of 100 grains, proline and grain yield, were measured. Results from the experiment showed that, regarding the most of characteristics, there were significant differences among cultivars and that, compared to normal conditions; saltiness had caused reduction in their values Soil salinity reduces leaf length in most cultivars. Maximum leaf length was found in Zaqatala and Sc704 respectively. Lowest leaf length, was seen in K3545.6 (49.85). Proline content increased with increasing soil salinity. Proline increases plant resistance to salinity. With increasing salinity, salt accumulation in leaves severely increased. Biggest accumulation in S.C704 was observed. The highest amount of proline was measured in this variety. This variety showed resistance to salinity, and with all the varieties were significant difference.

Abstract: Background: energy drink consumption by athletes has become increasingly popular. Athletes believe that energy drinks can be used to enhance their performance during training and competition due to their potentially ergogenic ingredients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the acute ingestion of an energy drink on Wingate cycle performance, muscle strength and blood lactate levels in a sample of 19 male active students from Mazandaran University. Method: this research was conducted on two separately sessions by four days rest in between. At first session, all of subjects were participated in Wingate test and handgrip strength test after having standard breakfast, and after the blood taking. In second session, subjects were divided three groups (Red bull, placebo and no drink groups) by systematically random design. Immediately after having breakfast (forty five minutes prior to test beginning), each group received 6 ml/kg.bw of related beverages. Results: in Red bull group, total work and mean power were increased and blood lactate after the test, was decreased. Changes observed in other measured factors in three groups were not significant. Conclusion: Red Bull can enhance anaerobic power in recreationally active people but not strength and blood lactate levels.

Currently, one of the challenges that marketing and sport event organizers are encountered is to increase the amount of ovation of visitors through recognizing the causes which influence their attendance. The aim of this study was to investigate push and deterrent factors of tourists to sport events. Methods: The research method was descriptive and survey. The sample of the study includes 319 tourists from national team participating in the national football teams. The data was collected using the Wimbledon questionnaire. Which the validity of this questionnaire approved by 10 professors of Guilan University and 10 experts tourist and had a previously proven reliability of 86% using the Chronbach's Alpha. The research data were analyzed by Binomial tests (P≤0.05). Results: the findings of this study indicate that from the tourist of the view of fans, socialization, entertainment and relaxation (push factors) are the most effective factors on tourist’s attendance in sport event. And personal problems, financial problems and risks (deterrent factors) are the most effective factors on tourists no attendance in sport event. Conclusion: The results indicate that the socialization, relaxation, and entertainment (push factors) are the most effective factors on tourist’s attendance in sport event. Also, financial problems and risks and personal problems are the most important deterrent factors. Finally, it is suggested that to enhance the participation of the tourists' motivations to attend the sport events, their motivational factors must be identified thoroughly and there must be a good informing system on attraction of event and destination, and financial costs, safety problems, and health problems must be minimized.

Abstract: Test anxiety as a common and important phenomenon of public education is closely related to general anxiety or stress, however, it has have certain traits and characteristics that make it distinct from general anxiety. It this paper, we investigate relationship between cognitive distortions and irrational beliefs from one hand and test anxiety of students in other hand. Statistical population of this study consisted of first grade female students of public high school of in Hamadan city at academic year of 2011-2012 that found to be 15400 students. The results showed that, there is a direct relationship between students' test anxiety and cognitive distortions as well as irrational beliefs. Moreover, there is a direct relationship between students' cognitive distortions and irrational beliefs. Results also suggest that, based on cognitive distortions and irrational beliefs, students’ test anxiety could be predicted. Therefore, by adding some courses in schools to teach students the methods of better thinking, we could take an important step toward improving welfare and individual and public health.

Abstract: Since health promotion is one of the most important pillars of community development, studies have shown that women's health has an impact on other family members and society. Thus it is important to survey the mental health status of women. One of the critical stages in life is the menopause because it is inevitable it is important to know women’s health status in this stage. The purpose of this study was survey of general health and its related factors in postmenopausal women. This is across-sectional analytic study in which all qualified postmenopausal women were selected. For example, regarding geographical areas of the city and its divisions, ten health centers in different areas of it were chosen total number of samples were calculated 323 which were done based on population covered by each health centers. The General Health Questionnaire with 28 items (GHQ-28) was used. SPSS version 17.0 was applied for data analyzing. Results: Based on study results, the average level of general health in women was estimated at 33.8 and general health scores in different areas as follows: social performance (9.9), physical health (9.8), anxiety (8.4) and depression (5.7). The mean score for general health, age, educational level, history of drug abuse of showed a statistically significant correlation (p <0.05). Results showed that general health status of women is not good and since women are considered as the center of family, more attention should be paid to this group. Some solution about this problem is presented in the article.

Abstract: In order to study effect of sowing date and planting pattern on yield of marigold and bean in intercropping systems a field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Islamic Azad University of Tabriz, Iran, during 2011. The studied treatments were sowing date of bean related to marigold (10 days earlier, simultaneously and 10 days after than marigold), marigold varieties (kampar and porpar), planting patterns of marigold-bean (3:3 as strip intercropping, 1:1 as row intercropping and sole-cropping of both crops). 100 seeds weight of bean ranged from 37 g in earlier sowing of bean than marigold, porpar variety as row intercropping up to 46.4 g in bean sole-cropping. Yield reduction values in treatments of bean earlier cropped related to marigold cv. kampar as strip intercropping and bean delayed intercropped to marigold cv. porpar as row intercropping were 56% and 44%, respectively, compared to the control. In both varieties with delayed cropping of bean related to marigold essential oil yield increased, significantly. Bean-marigold intercropping led to significant reduction in weeds biomass. When bean intercropped simultaneously or 10 days after marigold varieties, LER were ˃1. Simultaneous or delayed intercropping of bean with marigold by farmers could be recommended.

Abstract: Introduction: An autopsy includes a detailed external examination as well as dissection of organs from the different body cavities –cranial, thoracic, abdominal and pelvic. Needle necropsy is a method in which different tissue samples are taken from body after death without skin incision, opening the chest and abdomen or making any disfiguration in body. We tried to evaluate the reliability of needle necropsy and concordance between postmortem diagnostic accuracy of needle necropsy and conventional autopsy in cadavers. Material and Methods: In a cross sectional study, we studied the samples that were taken from different organs of 100 cadavers like heart and lungs with conventional open biopsy and needle necropsy in The Legal Medicine Organization of Kerman in Iran from 2009-2011. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 16. Results: In Heart samples, the sensitivity and PPV of needle necropsy was 100% in Congestion, Acute MI, Autolysis and Carditis diagnosis, but the accuracy was 0% in diagnosis of CAD and Valvular Diseases. In 31 cases there were no heart diseases, in which PPV was 91.2% in needle necropsy.In lung samples there was high rate of sensitivity and concordance in diagnosis of the problems like pulmonary hypertension, autolysis, anthracosis and pulmonary edema in needle biopsy, but these rates were lower in ARDS diagnosis. In 11 cases there was no lung disease, in which PPV was 84.1%. Conclusion: On the basis of our findings, results of needle necropsy is reliable enough in the cases with generalized involvement of the organ, but it is not sufficient in the focal involvements which are located in limited anatomical positions; like coronary artery diseases and valvular heart diseases. This study showed that the sensitivity rate and concordance rate of needle necropsy and conventional open biopsy are similar to each other and are reliable for diagnosing.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine to what extent the Iranian L2 learners make use of motivational and self-regulated learning strategies and also the relationships between motivational beliefs, self-regulation strategies use, and L2 learning achievement are as the major focus of this study. The statistical population of this study consisted of 70 EFL learners who were selected regarding to their proficiency level after running Oxford Placement Test. The measurement tools of this study were Motivational Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) developed by Pintrich (1990), which used to determine the L2 learners’ motivational level. Self-Regulated Learning Strategies (SRLS) questionnaire developed by Zimmerman and Pones (1988) was run to reveal L2 learners’ behavior toward these strategies. The internal reliability of the questionnaires was also obtained (0.87) for SRLS questionnaire and (0.83) for MSL questionnaire with using alpha Cronbach test. In addition to the questionnaires, a semi-structured interview was held to deepen the results gained through the questionnaires. The collected data based on the two questionnaires were analyzed through frequency tables and the percentages of learners’ responses, and correlated with the participants’ final exams scores through Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The findings of the study revealed that the participants in the current study were high motivational strategies users whereas, low performers at employing self-regulation strategies. These findings are directly related to students’ weakness in employing self-regulated learning strategies which points to the fact that motivation as a component is necessary for making progress in learning but by no means is sufficient by itself.

Abstract: Marigold (Calendula officinalis) is a poor competitive plant against weeds especially during the earlier growth period and its production in Iran relies heavily on herbicides to control weeds. In order to modeling of lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) competition in marigold field an experiment was conducted during 2010-2011 at Tabriz, Iran, with lambsquaters densities; (2, 4 and 6 plants/meter of row) and its emergence times (simultaneously with marigold, 10, 20 and 30 days after crop emergence (DAE). Reduction in crop height due to weed interference were 1.5, 8.1 and 10.5 cm for D1, D2, D3, whereas, 8.3, 8.4, 5.4 and 4.8 cm for I1, I2, I3 and I4, respectively, in compared with control. Crop LAI reduced equally 174 cm2 per each day delay in weed emergence time. Marigold could tolerate the effect of two weeds per meter of row at 10 DAE without any significant reduction in yield. Values of mean bias error, root mean square error and mean percentage error were calculated to be +0.1, 13.59 and 3.1%, respectively. It was concluded that the model of Cousens et al. was the best description for the yield of marigold at interference with lambsquarters.

Abstract: Producing high yielding sugar beets of superb quality is the goal of all sugar beet growers. In order to evaluation of effects of redroot pigweed density and planting pattern on some physiological and agronomical characteristics in two sugar beet cultivars a factorial field experiment was conducted during 2012 based on RCBD at the Research Station of Salmas, East Azerbaijan, Iran. The studied treatments were redroot pigweed densities (0, 4, 8 and 12 plants per meter row), planting patterns (zigzag and linear) and sugar beet cultivars (Jolgeh and Shirin). Planting pattern of zigzag was higher effective than linear pattern on sugar beet LAI, and in linear pattern crop LAI reduced 57 cm2 per square meter. When crop grew along with 12 weed plants per meter row, its LAI reduced from 712 cm2 in weed-free plots up to 308 cm2. Jolgeh cultivar in zigzag cropping method had the highest green cover (80.5%), but Shirin cultivar experienced significant reduction in green cover as grew in linear pattern. Green cover percentage of redroot pigweed in Jolgeh variety×zigzag pattern was the lowest (11.3%) as compared to the treatment of Shirin variety×linear pattern (21.9%). Sugar beet above-ground biomass in zigzag pattern was greater than linear pattern; and Jolgeh variety was more effective than Shirin variety. Root yield in full-season interference of 12 weed plants per meter row was 66 kg/ha when each weed plant removed from plots. Sugar percentage reduced nearly 0.15% per weed plant increasing. In conclusion we recommend zigzag planting pattern of sugar beet Jolgeh variety, to reduce weed competition and increase yield in semi-arid region. The stepwise regression analysis verified that the crop LAI and biomass had a marked increasing effect on the root yield of sugar beet.

In studies on human ecology of rural misery and consequent migration of the major villages of urban growth in the third world states. So one of very important factors in inharmonious development of cities, especially in the metropolises of in developing countries, is the problems of marginalization. Marginalization development in metropolises causes undesirable effects on the human environment. This study is related to suburb residence definition, suburb residence characteristics and causes of suburb residence emersion and finally reached a conclusion and summary. It is hoped that countries considering the issue of suburb residence in the planning and development of margin areas achieve to proper development of cities. The main aim of this paper is to explain the exact meaning of marginalization in cities. [Zeynali Azim A, Bagherzadeh kasiri Sh. The Problem called the urban marginalization.

Abstract: The flood is the most dangerous and destructive natural disaster in the world. It can cause injuries, loss of lives, damage to: property, roads, railways line and infrastructure. The most difficult phase to identify the affected areas through field observation. In this research we use GIS based approach to identify the affected areas of flood and produce a map to display affected areas. This is used to identify the undation area and make a prediction in future. We apply our approach to heavy flood on the Indus river along the area of Nowshera, Pakistan which was badely affected by flood in August, 2010. In our approach we use GIS tool to apply NDVI algorithm to extract water body from satellite image further produce a shapefiles of flood water from NDVI image and shapefile of river from base map Imagery. Bothe shapefile make transparent and overlap on base map imagery to identify the affected areas [Khan GA, Khan SA.

Abstract: In this paper,we studied the influence of information & communication technology on creation and innovation that leads to national production in complex environments and it's as an infrastructural component of knowledge-based development. Whereas today the busy and unpredictable environment with variety of rapid changes exists in all parts of society and definitely Iran is not an exception, and beside that because of shortening of the world or universalizing of all parts specifically in culture and economic, and severe competition at usage of science and technology and actualizing of them, there is the need of creation and innovation and having wise and intellectual people for preparing national production and increasing knowledge more than before in modern world that part of this important thing realizes from modern information and communication. Whereas today, index of evaluation of countries is based on technology and creation and not only GNP, we can nominate that a country is advanced and developed if it has higher mental and cultural power. This case is made of wise people thoughts that are living in our home. So, the researcher studied the influence of information technology on creation and innovation in a surveying way as one of the most important indexes of national production. Meanwhile the definition and importance and studying the ICT indexes, the influence of them on creation indexes is measured. Technology indexes are in three aspects of period and measure of usage, motivation and goal, and partnership as independent variables and creation and innovation as dependent variables with two indexes of creation of new knowledge and increasing the wisdom. In fact in this paper is answered to this question that if information and communication technology in Iran society can cause creation and innovation as one of the components of national production or not? After sampling, the statistical analyses were done and good results were achieved that among them we can mention that one important part for investment in creation and innovation is investing in modern information technologies that can lead to national production and we shouldn't be frightened from its harms, because its advantages is much more than its harms, but its harms should be recognized.

Abstract: In order to investigate agroecological parameters of Iranian rice genotypes in modified systems, an experiment was carried out as split plot in randomized complete blocks design based four replications at Neka, Mazandaran, Iran in 2011 and 2012. Planting systems were chosen as main plots (Conventional, Improved and SRI or System of Rice Intensification) and genotypes as sub plots (Tall plant: Sang Tarom and Hashemi Tarom; Short plant: Neda and Shiroodi). The results showed the least number of days to start of tillering, day number to initial heading, days number to 50% flowering, days number to full heading and days number to physiological maturity were obtained in SRI and improved system. Therefore, the highest grain yield 6412 kg/ha was produced in SRI. The highest grain yield equivalent to 7272 and 7315 kg/ha because of dwarf plant and short of source and sink distance was observed for var. Neda and Shiroodi. The minimum days number to physiological maturity days was observed at interaction of SRI and improved system with var. Tarom Hashemi. The highest grain was produced at interaction of SRI with var. Neda. Therefore, SRI was the soutable for rice genotypes in this location.

ABSTRACT: This study conducted to compare the effects of (a) physical practice with PETTLEP-based (Physical, Environmental, Task, Timing, Learning, Emotion and Perspective; Holmes & Collins, 2001) imagery, and (b) physical practice with traditional imagery interventions, on new skill learning in novice volleyball players. Thirty six novice male volleyball players (Mage = 13.2 years, SD = 0.53 years) with 6-8 months practice experience were randomly assigned to one of three groups: physical practice + PETTLEP imagery (n = 12), physical practice + traditional imagery (n = 12), and physical practice only (control group; n = 12). Participants in the PETTLEP imagery group applied the seven components of PETTLEP imagery training ; whereas participants in the traditional imagery group engaged in a relaxation session before imagery and used response laden motor imagery scripts. The two groups completed 15 minutes of imagery training followed immediately by thirteen minutes of “passing” practice three times per week. The control group completed only thirteen minutes of “passing” practice three times per week. Each group performed their respective tasks for seven weeks. A pre-test took place during the first practice session in which “passing” was assessed. After the seven-week practice program, a post-test took place followed by a retention test, one “no-practice” week later. All groups improved significantly (p < 0.05) from pre- to post-test and retention test. Nevertheless, as hypothesised the PETTLEP group improved more (p < 0.05) than the traditional imagery and physical practice groups. The findings, therefore, support the effectiveness of PETTLEP in enhancing learning and performance of new skill when combined with physical practice.

Abstract: Numerical solutions of the Equal Width Wave (EW) equation are obtained by Septic B-Spline collocation method using Rubin and Graves linearization technique [16]. The motion of a single solitary wave and interaction of two solitary waves are studied to validate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. Accuracy of the method is discussed by computing the errors norms ,  and conservative quantities. The analytic values of invariants   and  along with other results show that the present method is a successful numerical technique for solving EW equation. This numerical scheme is based on forward difference scheme in time and theta-weighted scheme in space and is unconditionally stable.

Abstract: This research aims to clarify the theory of the Trans – substantial motion from Mull asadra’s point of view and induct its implications in both objectives and educational principle. This is an application research and has been done in a descriptive – analytic way. Data is collected through the study of documents, proofs, and takingnotes and fiches from the sources. In the analysis of data, first we have described the theory of Trans – substantial motion, and then we’ve inducted the educational objectives and doctrine from this theory. Findings signify that this theory has been established on two important philosophical basis (which is one of Mullasadra’s novations) namely principality of existence and Gradation of existence. The whole Corporality and human are in motion, in their essence and different levels of existence, and Cover their evolution. This theory implicates a special form of objectives, doctrine and educational methods which have been discussed in this article.

Abstract: Historical urban texture of Semnan city that has relative centrality in Semnan city is a complete example of Iranian – Islamic city, and in the presence of many valuable buildings such as Soltani mosque, Jame’ mosque, water reservoirs, bath and Bazaar, is like a notebook that manifest predecessors’ instructions in reply to social condition with suitable arrays, even though erosion is as the result of time passing, but carelessness to historical urban texture in Iran has resulted in destruction of old texture, so historical building have sustained a suitable relation – ship to their environment. In this case, inefficient thought about urban texture caused the greatest damage to its frame and its soul and we should look to ancient urban texture as an opportunity (while we recognize its cultural values) in order to while we prevent city destruction, we ascertain historical continuity of city and preservation of city identification and we pay much attention to human-pivoted in historical urban texture of Semnan city that human holds priority in it (not automobile) in order to the best environment that is suitable for attention for the sake of social attendance of whole numbers of society, doesn’t change to an expansion for invasion automobile. In this paper, we have tried to investigate the reasons of capital withdrawal from historical urban texture and to mention its impermeable and we have tried to inspect the compiled norms and standards and the program of advisors and administration’s cultural heritage that have been collected for the purpose of preserving historical urban texture but it is influential in un flourishing historical urban texture.

Abstract: Maximizing the wealth of stockholders, carrying out moral duties and social responsibilities are among the most important goals of the companies. The intellectual capital of the companies is one of the factors which can have a considerable effect in realizing these goals. On the other hand the innovative changes which are created by economic value added in two fields of financial management and investment is considered to be an internal drive to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of activities. Regarding what was said, the main goal of the present research is to study the coefficient of economic value added of intellectual capital on the performance criteria based on value. The time period for our study is between 2005 and 2010 and our statistical population includes 121 firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. The results of testing the research hypotheses approved the positive effect of the coefficient of economic value added of intellectual capital on the criteria creating economic value added in companies.

Abstract: Children are the most vulnerable class of society and loving them roots in rationality, personal and social emotions of human beings. Living in family is the first opportunity which prepares the bed for children’s interactions with others. Children have rights in family which are stressed by Holy Lawgivers. Some of these rights are financial, some are emotional ones and some of them are training rights. It is obvious that deliberate deprivation of children from their rights stressed by Holy lawgivers, can be considered as child abuse factors. In our national and religious culture, children are considered as gift from God. Family is responsible for their kindness, care, growing. Main question is that what is child abuse? Which one are its consequences? Finally, we studied the child punishment by parents from Islamic Law perspective.

Abstract: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world and its incidence varies significantly across different geographical regions. Geographical and regional varieties with respect to oral cancer incidence show that the sociocultural aspect of a population’s life style plays an important role in the prevalence of this disease. In this study, clinical and histopathological characteristics along with risk factors associated with oral cancer in patients with OSCC are investigated. Material and methods: In this retrospective study, data about 98 OSCC patients for 2007-2011 period were gathered and analyzed using the archives of Dental college, Khatam ol-Anbia Hospital and a private clinic in Zahedan City, located south-east Iran. Results: Men constituted 66.3% of the patients studied in this research. The patients fell in the age range of 30-83 with a mean of 58.46±12.89. The parts of the mouth mostly prevailed by the disease were tongue in young subjects, and mandibular vestibule and buccal mucosa in older patients. Men used cigarettes and smokeless tobacco (ST) more than women (P=0.002, p<0.001), and people with more than 45 years of age used cigarettes and ST more than younger patients, which showed a statistically significant relation (P=0.049, p<0.001). Conclusion: OSCC is a problem in south-east Iran and the use of STs is introduced as a major risk factor associated with OSCC in people with more than 45 years of age. However, the researchers here did not find any major risk factor in young patients who lacked any oral habits. [Farhad Mollashahi. L, Risbaf Fakour.S, Honarmand.M, Farhad Mollashahi.N3.

Abstract: Economics is the social science that investigates many subjects in production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Accountancy, or accounting, is the process of communicating financial information about a business entity to users such as shareholders and managers.

Abstract: This research is going to study the effect of auditing quality on earnings management in firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. Three criteria of: audit firm size, industry specialization and auditor's tenure were used to measure auditing quality. Also Jones's adjusted model has been used to calculate earnings management. 73 companies during the time period between 2008 and 2010 were investigated. To test the hypotheses we used linear regression model and difference test and the effects of variables were investigated separately because the overall model test created some co-linearity problems. The findings of the present research show that the results of the annual data and the interim data have been the same and this shows that auditing firm size does not affect earnings management meaningfully but industry specialization and auditor's tenure have had a negative effect on earnings management. Also earnings management in firms audited by big auditors, industry specialization and auditor's tenure of more than 4 years (quality auditors) is different (less than) from those firms which are not audited by these auditors.

Abstract: The goal of the present research paper is to study the effect of cash flow on investment levels in companies. 75 firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange were investigated for their performances during the years between 2004 and 2010. The year 2008 was assumed to be the index year. In this paper the effects of four variables related to operational cash flow, financial supply and investment on investments' levels were studied. These variables are operational incomes, operational profit, debt ratio, and change in tangible fixed assets. The results of the regression test showed that cash flow, previous operational incomes, operational profit, and the ratio of debts and tangible fixed assets have a positive and meaningful effect on investment levels in companies but the future operational income does not affect companies' investments.

Abstract: The present study is aimed at investigating the factors involved in the effectiveness of national competitions of skills in the 11th round of national skill competitions in July, 2010. The study was descriptive and data collection was administered through statistical sampling. Five hundred and eleven individuals chosen from among the elites of the province who were majoring in 26 different majors, 426 accompanying experts, and 26 proficient functionaries each for one of the existing majors participated in the study. Qualitative and quantitative questionnaires and face-to-face interviews with the functionaries in charge of holding the competitions were the tools used in the study. Based on Likert Scale, quantitative questions were categorized into three main groups: internal factors, external factors, and competition consequences. The obtained data were analyzed through SPSS 17.0 software. The results showed that the degree of enthusiasm in learning skills and the individual’s ability, aptitude, and motivation were the most significant internal factors in achieving success. Educational equipment and facilities in technical and vocational training centers were recognized as the most important external factors affecting individuals’ success. In addition, analyzing competition consequences showed that there was a high degree of accordance between provincial skill learning and national skill competitions. Moreover, experience transfer from experts who had taken part in the world competitions to the trainers and competitors in the past rounds was insignificant.

Phlebitis is one of the most prevalent intravenous therapy causing therapeutic costs and hospitalization period to increase never the les it is detectable and preventable present research has been contented with the aim of identifying the phlebitis incidence rate in peripheral veins among patients with catheter and its effective factors in zahedan medical- surgical wards. Present study is a descriptive one 300 patients. Having had catheter at least for72 hours at the reception time hospitalized in medical- surgical wards of imam ali and khatamd anbia hospitals were included in the study by sampling method. All patients had no vascular diseases; taking no immune suppressive drugs with normal upper organs. Instruments used in this study were as follows: data registration paper containing demographic profile, medicine intake and its frequently, IV access site, cause and catheter removing time smoking, hospital period and society of specialist nurse’s phlebitis scale checklist for vein injections. Scientific validity of instrument was estimated by contest validity and scientific validity was assessed by final scale method among observers and identification of correlation coefficient Data was analyzed by SPSS software and K2 descriptive statistics. Results showed that % 44 of units under investigation were afflicted with phlebitis and % 75 of cases had phlebitis type 2.The most occurred cases of phlebitis appeared in the first 40-49 hours. Among phlebitis incidence and personal factors age, schooling, drug consumption, hospitalization period and also chemical stimulation factors (type and frequency of intake antibiotic injection, type of injected liquid, and additives included in the serum) was observed. Statistical meaningful correlation with% 95 reliability coefficient. With regard to the relatively high prevalence of phlebitis, it is essential to implement effective and regular training program in order to promote knowledge and awareness level of nurses in terms of intravenous therapy.

Abstract: Objectives: The goal of this paper is to evaluate the sport boards in Ilam province. Methodology: The method for this study is descriptive and survey type which is carried out on the field. The statistical population of this study is the sport boards in Ilam province with 35 boards selected as a sample. The tool for this survey is a researcher made questionnaire which is completed by the experts in the sport and young people’s ministry. For the statistical analysis of the data we used descriptive and referral statistics including t-student test. Results: The results show that regarding the measure of the researcher the rank of the hardware development in this province among the sport boards is relatively good and the scales of the organizational behavior and cultural development have a very good implication and the scales of standardization, public development and human force development are good. The scales for financial development and athletic development are average and the measure of scientific and research development are very weak. The hardware measure with the reliability of more then 95 percent had the most amounts of development (95.30%) and the 2 scientific and research measure had the least amount of development (0.097%) in comparison to other scales. Conclusion: The results show that the sport boards had a very weak performance in the athletic measure and in science and research development. Based on this we see that there is a need for the sport organization and sport boards covering Ilam province to address these two measures with more vigor.

Abstract: Due to the importance of rolling bearings as one of the most commonly used industrial machinery elements, it is necessary to develop proper monitoring and fault diagnosis procedure to suppress malfunctioning and failure of these elements during operation. For rolling bearing fault detection, it is expected that a desired time domain analysis method has good computational efficiency. In this paper, first, the features in time and frequency domain such as Mean Square, Moments, Cumulant, kurtosis, Skeweness, Zero Crossing Rate, Peak Rate, standard deviation, maximum value, Crest factor, Clearance factor, Shape factor and Impulse factor which are widely used in fault diagnostics, have been extracted from the vibration signal. Indeed, the numbers of 12 features have been extracted from the time domain signal. Then they are going to PCA algorithm, After PCA processing, the redundant features can be removed effectively. In this work, 12 features decrease to six efficient features. Although most of the features are reduced, the average diagnosis accuracy does not decrease. For some states, the diagnosis accuracy arises a little for the information fusion performance of PCA. Then, the features that extracted have been classified successfully using MSVM classifier.

Abstract: Growth disorder is one of non-specific but important indicator of ill-health particularly among children. The most reliable and frequently used method to measure normal weight is Body Mass Index (BMI). Double burden of nutritional disorders may exist in low and middle income countries. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the county of Joybr in 2009. Body max index, demographic, and socio-economic data of all students in year one (935 cases) were gathered using a check list. Data were entered into Excel and were analyzed by inferential statistics and t test using SPSS software. Only 78.1 percent of schoolchildren were in normal weight rate. 10.7, 5.5 and 5.8 percent of the remaining students were underweight, overweight and obese respectively. Highest and lowest rate of obesity were seen in private schools and rural area respectively. Highest and lowest rate of underweight were seen in urban area and private schools respectively. Double burden of nutritional disorders among studied schoolchildren are evident. Hence local managers need to be aware that our children in schools suffer considerably from both sides of nutritional disorders spectrum. Current programs are not sufficient to improve recognized problems. Therefore, interventional policies are required to be made to solve the problem of this vulnerable and important segment of the society.

Abstract: Iran is located on the Alpine orogeny belt; hence it is one of frequently earthquake-occurring areas of the world. In this research, due to importance of the risk of earthquake in Iran and specially Tehran, the Dastgheib district from area-9th of Tehran is selected to introduce the vulnerable parts of the city. Since the Dasgheib district has a high density of population and constructions, the identification of its earthquake vulnerability is of essential concern. According to the summary of six main criteria of the urban planning factors studied by GIS software, it is shown that this area is one of the most vulnerable parts of the city. Therefore to avoid the damages of a possible earthquake, it is necessary to undertake studies and make certain arrangements as fast as possible before any unfortunate event. There are a lot of areas in Tehran similar to the district under study in this research and most of the results can be extended to them.

Abstract: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is many times higher among people with diabetes. Presence of diabetes increases the risks of heart attacks and strokes in people up to 2 to 6 times. There are a lot of inflammatory markers predicting cardiovascular heart diseases, including homocysteine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise on blood levels of inflammatory markers in diabetic women. Methods: Subjects consisted of thirty sedentary middle-aged women with diabetes who were randomly assigned to two groups of experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The program included eight weeks of aerobic exercise training (3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per session) with the intensity of 50 to 75 percent of maximal oxygen consumption. Homocysteine levels and hs-CRP and fibrinogen of blood were measured before and after exercise. Findings: Independent samples t-test analysis indicated a significant decrease in levels of homocysteine, hs-CRP and plasma fibrinogen in experimental group (P <0/05), but no significant change has been observed in control group. Conclusion: Thus, in general, regular aerobic training reduces the risk of stroke and improves health of diabetic middle-aged women by lowering homocysteine, fibrinogen and hs-CRP.

Abstract: Gender Identity Disorder, meant cross- gender identification and intense desire in the characteristics of the opposite sex and discontent with assigned birth gender, is a complex disorder whose complete correction is rarely successful. The psychological evaluation of the individuals with the disorder can be very effective in its prevention, diagnosis and treatment. In this study from among those with gender identity disorder, 100 individuals were chosen as the sample of the study using purposeful sampling. They filled out Yang Early Maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire-Short Form (1998, YSQ-SF) and Defense Mechanisms Questionnaire (1993, DSQ-40). Data analysis was done through descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation test and canonical correlation. Results showed there is a relationship between defense mechanisms and early maladaptive schemas in individuals with gender identity disorder. It was found that there is a positive significant relationship between the disconnection and rejection domain and early maladaptive schemas and immature style of the defense mechanisms; there is a negative significant relationship between them and mature style, and there is no statistically significant relationship between them and neurotic style.

hypertension is the most significant known risk factor for stroke. Normal blood pressure is around 120/80, while High blood pressure is when your blood pressure is consistently over 140/90. This is called ‘hypertension’. A person with untreated hypertension is four times more likely to have a stroke than someone whose blood pressure falls within the healthy range. This study was cross- sectional descriptive. The statistical population included all of the patients (100 patients) with CVA referred to towhid hospital. The information was completed through questionnaire and interview, and then scored and statistically analyzed. Results showed that the samples (53%) females aged 51-70 years with majority of 47% and 48% housewives, the majority of illiterate, and 55% with previous history of stroke did not attack. Total days of hospitalization varied between 5 and 9 days with 45% of rural residence, and admission with 42% suffering from Right hemiplegia that 79% had no obvious impairment of speech and They mostly had high blood pressure for 4-7 years (88%). Also between high blood pressure and Clinical markers and individual stroke with P< 0/005 a significant relationship was shown. A stroke is a medical emergency and can cause permanent neurological damage, complications, and death. High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke Artillery. hypertension is the most important hygienic problem in developed countries, which if not cured will lead to fatal complications.

Abstract: Collocations have been high on the agenda of linguistic researches these last few years, driven by second language teaching and learning researches on the one hand and lexicography ones on the other. Yet, it would be erroneous to think collocations especially grammatical collocations do not pose problems in translation between the very different languages like English and Azeri which belong to different language families and their grammatical structures are quite different. This paper sets out to find out the closest equivalent of English grammatical collocations of gerund in Azeri. This research is corpus-based, both qualitative and quantitative study. Based on Benson et als' classification of grammatical collocations of gerund, there are three types of collocations of gerund: verb +verb-ing; verb (transitive) + object + verb-ing ; and verb (transitive) + possessive + gerund. The analysis of Azeri translated data showed that gerund mainly translated as infinitive in Azeri. Moreover, verb +v-ing, translated as “infinitive+ verb”, verb (transitive) + object + verb-ing used as “object+ infinitive +verb(transitive)” and the closest equivalent for grammatical collocation of verb (transitive) + possessive + gerund, is “possessive+ infinitive+ verb(transitive).”

Abstract: Maternal diabetes is associated with an increased risk of several complications in the offspring. In present study, we examined the effects of maternal diabetes on the glomerular and buman volume and tubular changes in newborns rats. At 7th day of pregnancy hyperglycemia was induced by a single injection (i.p.) of streptozotocin (55 mg kg-1). Control animals were given an equal volume of citrate buffer. After parturition 1 pup were randomly selected from each litter, their kidney dissected, fixed in 10% formalin, sectioned in 7 μm thicknesses and stained by H.E. By applying stereological techniques and systematic random sampling scheme the glomeroli, buman, proximal and distal diameters changes were estimated. In comparison with controls, statistical analysis showed significant increases (p<0.05) in the glomeroli and buman volumes. The total length of capillaries showed significant increases (p<0.01) in newborns from diabetic mothers.But there were not significant different in proximal and distal diameters. In conclusion it seems that, maternal diabetes induce angiogenesis. The present study is high risk for renal dysfunction in newborns from diabetic mothers.

Abstract: E-government and E-Commerce facilities help citizens to benefit from governmental services and shopping facilities while being at home. Website design is an essential part of e-government and e-commerce infrastructures. Usability aspects can enhance the user experience and lack of usability can de-motivate users and eventually they may leave that portal. In this paper we present the results of our research on Pakistani E-government and E-commerce websites. Although, Pakistan is digitally not so advanced country but still government and business enterprises are focusing to use online dimension. We have carried out two studies, in first study we evaluated three e-government websites and in second study we evaluated three e-commerce websites in Pakistan. We found that these websites have some usability issues and improvement in these issues can significantly improve the user experience. The results are helpful for web designers, practitioners and policy makers for fostering successful adoption of E-government and E-commerce frameworks.
