Abstract

In order to determine effects of chicken and cattle manures in culture of Chlorococcum, an experiment was designed in six treatments including; 0.1, 0.4, 0.8 g/l of chicken manure and 0.1, 0.4, 0.8 g/l of cattle manure as completely randomize design with three replicates for 28 days. Results showed that the mean maximum density (87.1 × 105 cell/ml), specific growth rate (0.054 day-1), algal dry biomass (0.644 g/l), and chlorophyll a (9.42 mg/l) were obtained with 0.8 mg/l chicken manure. In order to compare performance of these manures with other culture media, second experiment with five treatments including; BBM (control) (Bold’s Basal Medium), BBM + soil extract, 0.8 g/l chicken manure, 0.8 g/l cattle manure and mixture of all treatment (BBM, BBM + soil extract, chicken manure and cattle manure) was designed as completely randomize design with three replicates for 15 days. Comparative results showed that BBM + soil extract had highest algal density (11.6 x 106 cells/ml), highest algal dry biomass (0.81 mg/ml), maximum SGR (0.13 /day), highest chlorophyll a (10.15 mg/l) and minimum doubling time (4.97 days). In conclusion, performance of BBM + soil extract was better in terms of biomass and growth parameters of Chlorococcum.

Abstract

This article raises a claim different from the common attitude toward the relationship between the absurdity of life and suicide. In the common attitude, one believes that "one commits suicide if and only if his life becomes absurd". This can be objected to in two ways: a priori and posterior. In the first path, to analyze this proposition, we should obtain a proper notion about the concepts of "absurdity of life" and "suicide". After this clarification, we can reflect on the relation between these two concepts. In the second path, we should find two kinds of cases: (1) mentioning suicides that are committed by ones with meaningful lives, (2) considering some absurd lives which did not end up committing suicide. Thus, rejecting the aforementioned proposition a priori and posterior, we can mention new relations between life's absurdity and suicide. This article aims to first scrutinize accounts around death and second justifying lives worth living different from common attitudes around the meaningfulness of lives. In this article, we will only evaluate this contradiction by referring to western-christen thinkers, and we will show that unlike the common attitudes, suicide is not necessarily based on deep thoughts about life.

Abstract

Athir al-Dīn al-Abharī was the only Avicennan logician who denied the validity of conditional syllogism. He was also the first who doubted in the validity of conversion and contraposition of conditionals and dispensed with them. In the contemporary era, after 1968, some logical consequence systems have evolved under the title ‘Conditional Logic’, which rejected the validity of the same rules. A similarity between al-Abharī’s system and these contemporary’s is in their commitment to Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens. Analyzing the reasons that the two groups provided for denying conditional syllogism reveals that their rejections were rooted in their novel interpretations of ‘strict conditional’. On al-Abjarī’s view, the strict conditional ‘whenever A then B’ means that ‘A implies B in all assumptions in which the implication between A and B is possible’. On the contemporary conditional logicians’ view, the conditional proposition ‘if A then B’ in natural languages means that ‘other things being equal, A implies B’. The two interpretations are common in the fact that in addition to the assumption of antecedent, they both assume matters which are somehow related to the antecedent, and this is the common root for both groups to deny the validity of conditional syllogism.

Abstract

Aim: Oral health is one of the most important parts of public health which significantly affects on quality of life. The purpose of this study is to assess the socio-economic statues as well as oral health behaviors among a sample of Iranian students studying in elementary level. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study which was conducted from April 2012 to November 2012. Data obtained from a face-to-face interviews with students studying in elementary schools of Chahbahar, Iran. Considering inclusion criteria, 300 eligible students were selected through a two - stage random cluster sampling. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics using SPSS version 11.5. Finding: Totally 300 students who studying in grade four or five of elementary schools took part in the study. The mean age of subjects was (11± 2.81). Of all students, 11/7% (n = 35) never brush their teeth, 18% (n=54) never floss and 20% (n= 62) never used mouth wash. Furthermore, 94 students (31%) of students had no dental visits regularly. As the results showed, there were significant relationship between lower parents’ educational level (P=0.02), not to access to dental caries services (P=0.04) and lower income (P=0.03) and reasons for not doing oral health behaviour. Conclusion: According the results of this study the students who were in lower socio economic levels, doing less dental healthy behaviors.

Abstract

Background: Salmonella enterica serovar typhi (S. typhi) the cause of the acute febrile disease typhoid fever is the major public health problem in developing countries. Asymptomatic carriers are the main sources of typhoid. The aim of this study was to investigate methods for isolation and identification of S. typhi in asymptomatic carriers.
Materials and Methods: Two hundred stool samples were collected from foodstuff workers and distributors. Then culture characterization, biochemical tests, and nested-PCR were done.
Results: One hundred and seventy-one (85%) of the total cases were male and the mean age of cases was 35 years. Stool culture yielded bacterial colonies consistent with fecal flora but did not yield S. typhi. In nested PCR technique just one of the 200 samples (0.5%) was positive for the S. typhi capsular gene (vi gene).
Conclusion: Due to the improvement in the health status of the country and the low typhoid carriers, it is recommended that efforts be focused on other hygienic issues.

Abstract

Background: Campylobacter species are the main food-borne pathogens which could cause gastroenteritis in humans. Contaminated chicken products have been documented as the primary sources of Campylobacter transmission to human. This study was done to test raw chicken meat products retailed in local markets in Tehran, Iran for the presence of Campylobacter coli and Campylobacter jejuni species.
Materials and methods: A total of 70 raw chicken meat samples were collected during a three-month study. All the Campylobacter species were identified by biochemical and species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These isolates were investigated further to examine their potential virulence factors.
Results: Campylobacter spp. were detected in 56% of the isolates and identified as C. coli. The results indicated that all of the isolates were positive for cadF, cdtA, iam genes. On the other hand, none of the isolates were positive for flaA and pladA virulence genes.
Conclusion: Overall, the results showed that Campylobacter species were common contaminants in chicken meat, which should be screened for the presence of virulence determinants and for their involvement in food-borne diseases.

Abstract

Supply chain Integration importance leads to this believe that some scholars express that the whole concept of supply chain management is derived from integration. Providing the basis for creation and effective continuation of supply chain management requires the recognition of main factors affecting the integration. Studies reveal that the organizations with higher levels of social capital are more successful than their rivals. So, the purpose of this study is to surveying Social Capital Influence on Supply Chain Integration. Considering the purpose, this study is applied research, and based on its research methodology, it is a correlation descriptive, and it is specifically based on the structural equation models. The population consisted of 435 organizations in food industry of Fars province in Iran, and via employing stratified sampling, 124 executives related to supply chain management were selected and the questionnaires were distributed and collected data were analyzed. This model suggests that five factors influence Supply Chain Integration, and the purpose of the research was to investigate the influence of social capital on these factors. The results indicated that the social capital has positive and direct relation with integration, communication pattern, trust and commitment and has no direct relation with power and attitude.

Abstract

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease (STD) in humans. HPV is associated with gynecologic malignancy and cervical cancer among women worldwide. In the current study we sought to determine the prevalence rate of HPV in Iranian women identified with cervical infections.
Materials and Methods:  Prevalence rate of HPV in Iran was investigated from 2000-2016 using several databases including Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Google Scholar, Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database. Statistical analysis was performed by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (V2.2, Biostat) software. Random effects models were used by taking into account the possibility of the heterogeneity between the studies, which was tested through the Cochran’s Q-statistic.
Results: The meta-analyses showed that the prevalence rate of HPV infections was 38.6 % (95% CI, 27.9-50.5) among Iranian women with cervical infections. The further stratified analyses indicated that the prevalence rate of HPV was higher in the studies conducted during the 2000-2008 years.
Conclusion: The results of the present study underscore the need for further enforcement of STD control strategies in Iran. Establishing advanced diagnostic facilities for HPV, vaccination of high risk groups, and continuous monitoring of HPV are recommended for HPV prevention and control.

Abstract

Human life is self-founded and should not be reduced to a right. Supporting human life in various dimensions is the goal of rights. Since the human embryo has a human nature -which is also accepted by the supporters of the theory of personhood- and has life, only this life must be supported, and the embryo has a chance to survive. What is the fact that the relationship between parents and fetus-child is not a proprietary bond? Being a person is not an inherent characteristic in the definition of human nature, and the support of the existence of a human being should not be reduced to his being a person. Protection of human life is the basis of the criminalization of murder, and abstract characteristics such as personhood do not play a role in the inclusion of this crime.

Abstract

The phytoremediation capability in Pb removal from the contaminated soils by three native seedlings species (Acer cappadocicum, Fraxinus excelsior and Thuja orientalis) and one exotic species (Cupressus arizonica) were compared. The seedlings were grown in Pb contaminated soils at 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg kg-1 concentrations for 6 months (Mar 21 to Sept. 22, 2015), after which the biomass allocation and Pb accumulation in tissues of root, stem, and leaf were assessed. The results showed that the higher Pb levels (400 and 500 mg kg-1 soil) caused significant reduction in growth in all species, but this inhibition was less marked in the two conifer (T. orientalis and C. arizonica) compared to the two broad-leaf seedlings (A. cappadocicum and F. excelsior). Pb concentration in different tissues of seedlings increased with its increase in the soil. Further, Pb accumulation in the conifers was twice higher than that of the broad-leave species. Therefore, this study suggests that the two conifer species (P. orientalis and C. arizonica) can be used for phytoremediation, although further research is needed to make a final decision.

Abstract

As a light verb, the verb “∫odan” contributes in the structure of a wide range of verbs and forms different applied concepts, including the expression of the change of state. In the French language, there are many different verbs and structures, which could be known as equivalents of the verb “∫odan”  for expressing the change of state. Therefore, incorrect use of any of these equivalents is a great concern for Iranian learners, and usually leads to misunderstandings. This paper will firstly study the two verbs, “∫odan” and “devenir” in Persian and French languages, respectively. Then we will introduce the equivalents of the verb “∫odan” in French language. Next the verb “devenir” will be studied in contrast with other French verbs, which express the change of state. Finally, the aspectual values of the verb “∫odan” and its equivalents in French language will be dealt with.

Abstract

One of the analyzable concepts in discourse is value and valuer; valuer determines other valuesˊ occurrence, and other values are formed and oriented in its shadows. This research using analytical method and semiotique approach, tries to analyze interactivity and contrasting of value systems of discourse, as we as the formation of “power and reputation” valuer and the role of emotional conditions that are dissociated in this formation process. At the end and after analyzing Rostam and Sohrab discourse systems, we will see that “power and reputation” are values that the basis of value system of discourse is based upon them but the powerful presence of affection runs up against this valuer formation process. Therefore, narrative program of subjective agent to access the value object (meaning) is subject to change. Also object value changes its position and becomes an impediment to achieve the object value. Also using emotional process pattern to show disappointment and regret formation in Rostam after Sohrab dead, his critical condition in the story, and fear of being judged by the addressee, the effort he has made to maintain his ideological position and release himself from this situation is the main achievement of this article.

Abstract

Research subject: Bio-hydrogen is a renewable energy source with many economic and environmental benefits as a fuel. Controlling the concentration of the substrate in the reactor has a significant effect on the amount of hydrogen production. However, bio-hydrogen production is a nonlinear process that requires the implementation of nonlinear control methods. In this paper, substrate concentration in an anaerobic bio-reactor is controlled using the feedback linearization method.
Research approach: The model employed for the simulation is a well-known model consisting of three state variables. The proposed controller is a globally linearized controller (GLC) designed based on the feedback linearization technique. In this method, the nonlinear system is precisely linearized by a transformation of the coordinate system. As a result, the linearized system can be controlled using a linear controller. In order to linearize the system, a nonlinear compensator is designed using the design model and applying the concepts of differential geometry. Proportional-integral (PI) controller is adopted as a linear controller. GLC controller performance has been compared with a nonlinear controller (NC) and a PI controller. The performance of these controllers has been studied by numerical simulation based on the integral of time-square error (ITSE).
Main results: The simulation results show that substrate concentration control can contribute to the hydrogen production. The control method applied has better set-point tracking than the other two control approaches. The ITSE performance index for the feedback linearization method is lower than the other two methods. The nonlinear feedback controller fails if the kinetic parameters are changed by 25%, but the PI method and the feedback linearization are robust against model uncertainty. An efficient controller guarantees stable bio-hydrogen production. Comparing open-loop and closed-loop simulation results shows that controlling the substrate concentration increases hydrogen production by 90%.
