Abstract
Teacher reflection and self-efficacy beliefs are two important teacher characteristics that influence different aspects of teaching jobs. The relationship between these two constructs is important, but the previous research has focused on the effect of reflection on self-efficacy. This mixed-methods study aimed at assessing the interrelationships between reflection and self-efficacy through surveying 330 Iranian English language teachers in the quantitative phase and interviewing 15 teachers in the qualitative phase. The quantitative data were analyzed through a Partial Least Square approach and the qualitative data through a conventional content analysis. Results show the two variables are closely interwoven, but reflection components were better predictors of self-efficacy. Metacognitive, cognitive, and affective reflection were significant predictors of self-efficacy and its components, but critical reflection did not predict any aspect of reflection. Efficacy for classroom management could predict practical and cognitive reflection, and efficacy for student engagement could predict practical, affective, and critical reflection. These findings imply that metacognitive, affective, and cognitive reflections need to be encouraged in English Language Teaching preservice and inservice teacher education programs, and workshops need to be enriched and focus on practical teaching issues and classroom management strategies, and learner engagement techniques.

Abstract
Given the status of English as the world lingua franca, speakers of many world languages are increasingly coming into contact with the language and incorporate features of the English language into their own native languages. The influence has been made more diffusive by the emergence of and rapid growth in technological innovations, especially the social media. Persian has borrowed a variety of English lexical words, prompting this study to explore a set of such borrowed words that have been integrated into the Persian language. These loanwords were subsequently combined with the host grammatical elements to create innovative compound verbs. In the majority of instances, the borrowed English constituents in these verbs have distinctly different meanings from their original English counterparts. This research examines the type of the semantic change that has occurred in the English words after they were borrowed into Persian and how frequent each type of change is. Hollmann's (2009) taxonomy of semantic change was utilized to achieve the purposes of this research. The results revealed that the most frequent semantic shift was through metaphor, with semantic narrowing and pejoration being the second and third most frequent types of semantic change. The least frequent types of semantic change were metonymy, broadening, and melioration.

Abstract
Various factors, such as temperature stress, dietary changes, and the entry of contaminants and infections into the hemolymph, are known to affect insect immune responses by altering hemocyte profiles. The research focused on the hemocyte profile, hemogram across all biological stages, and the morphological and frequency changes of hemocytes in third instar larvae exposed to temperature stress. Cucumber fruits infected with insect larvae were collected and brought to the laboratory, where third instar larvae were extracted from the fruit tissue. The hemolymph was then collected, and after staining with Giemsa solution, hemocytes were identified under a light microscope. The hemogram analysis included measurements of DHC, THC, blood volume, and AHC across all biological stages. In third instar larvae, plasmatocytes and granulocytes were the most abundant, comprising about 56% of the hemocyte population. In contrast, prohemocytes were most frequent in the first instar larvae, accounting for approximately 37%. THC was highest in third instar larvae, indicating a direct correlation between hemolymph volume and total hemocyte count. Temperature stress had a significant impact on hemocyte numbers. Heat stress, with temperatures up to 30 and 35 °C, led to a notable increase in total cell count, granulocytes, and plasmatocytes. Conversely, cold temperatures resulted in a decrease in prohemocytes, plasmatocytes, granulocytes, and the total cell count compared to the control group. Additionally, temperature stress induced hemocyte deformation, with plasmatocytes and granulocytes showing the most pronounced changes under heat stress, including torn cell walls and loss of cell contents at 35 ○C.

Abstract
Soil affected by salt (NaCl) is a major problem worldwide and in areas with potential
agriculture; lands in many countries are not enough to support crop production. The development
of salt tolerant cultivars would be enhanced by better understanding of the genetic
control of tolerance to salt stress. A new cereal, tritipyrum, a range of amphiploids
between Triticum spp. and Thinopyrum spp. offers such a new chance. Those with the 6x
construction (2n=6x=42, AABBEbEb) derived from Triticum durum (2n=4x=28, AABB)
and Thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n=2x=14, EbEb) are of the potential to become a new high
salt tolerant cereal crop. Tritipyrum is prone to problems similar to those exhibited by
early triticales, e.g. chromosome instability and low fertility, which in that crop were eventually
overcome by breeding. Other problems could be overcome through substitution of
Eb genome chromosomes by D genome ones, and the feasibility of this has been assessed in
the progenies of (6x tritipyrum) x (6x wheat) hybrids with the aid of fluorescent in situ
hybridization (FISH). The cytological, morphological and agronomic studies of existing
tritipyrum lines, including the effect of vernalization, were carried out, too. A novel multiple-
pistil/seed characteristic of one original tritipyrum line has also been investigated
and its genetic basis established. The results have shown that, first creation of substituted
lines is feasible, and thus it could be a route for the elimination of undesirable traits. Second,
improvement should be possible via selection for chromosomally stable lines, with increased
fertility and yield. Third, it may also be possible to exploit the perennial habit and
multi-tillering traits in a dual-purpose forage/grain crop. Fourth, the multiple-pistil/seed
trait may be controlled by two recessive genes. Fifth, there is a high probability of having
established the seven possible monosomic additions of Th. bessarabicum to T.durum for
the first time.

Abstract
A 12-week feeding trial was carried out in 500 L fiberglass tanks to evaluate the effect of dietary choline at 0, 2, 4, and 8 g kg -1 levels on growth rate, body composition and total liver lipid of juvenile Acipenser baerii (37.67±0.67 g). A semi purified basal diet was formulated using vitamin free casein and wheat gluten as a protein source, a mixture of animal and plant oils as a lipid source and dextrin as a carbohydrate source. Four isonitrogenous (40% protein) and isoenergetic (18 MJ kg-1) diets were prepared and fed to the fish three times daily to apparent satiation. Weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) were significantly affected by dietary choline (p<0.05). The best growth performance was observed in fish fed diets containing 2 and 8 g kg -1 choline (p<0.05). Fish fed with 2 and 4 g kg -1 choline showed higher lipid content compared with the control diet (p<0.05), but not significantly different in body protein (p>0.05). Total lipid of liver and plasma, plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipids levels showed an increasing trend with increasing levels of dietary choline, but not significantly different among treatments (p>0.05). Based on the results, we recommend adding a 1.5 gkg-1 choline to commercial diet of juvenile Acipenser baerii.

Abstract
Sugar beet molasses is a well-known, inexpensive and available carbon source for microbial cell growth. Its sugar components are used to produce energy for microbial growth and non-sugar components, especially nitrogen components, have important roles in improvement of cell growth. On the other hand, immobilization of whole cell is establishment and physical limitation of intact cells in specific space that keeps their catalytic activity and provides the possibility of reuse of the cells. This technique allows continuous and accelerated biological processes. It also improves production efficiency and quality and simplifies recycling of product. Immobilized living cells, as controlled catalysts, are able to perform one-step enzymatic reaction and continuous fermentative processes. In this research, E.coli cells were immobilized in calcium alginate hydrogels and using sugar beet molasses as carbon source, were applied for tryptophan production reaction in the presence of its precursors, serine and indole. In comparison between free biocatalysts and immobilized bacterial cells that entrapped in alginate gels, indicated that larger amounts of amino acids (about 42/9%) can produce in calcium alginate. Also the production reaction was followed up for 9 sequential cycles, and results showed that the cells could produce tryptophan amino acid under above conditions. Use of sugar beet molasses (by-product of agriculture industries) for growth of microbial cells and tryptophan production, causes decrease in production cost and more economical production of tryptophan by immobilized E. coli.

Abstract
Language teaching literature shows an isolation and independency between pronunciation and writing. In this paper, focusing on the pronunciation errors of Persian language learners, we test the hypothesis if there is a significant relationship between Pronunciation and writing errors of the same learners. In this regard, it is emphasized that these two categories have a lot in common, and reinforcing of one leads to the reinforcing of the other. First, the data collected from oral speech of the learners are listed. Then the repeated errors in vowels, consonants and phonetic processes are extracted and presented along with some examples. Next, the subjects are asked to compose writings in different topics. Errors extracted from these data are presented in charts and tables, along with the frequencies of each. Formal comparison and statistical analysis of t-student showed that writing errors in the pronunciation field are not simply a performance error in language production; rather they are resulted from competence of the learner. Proving our hypothesis, it is emphasized that pronunciation and writing are two sides of the same coin; therefore, it is suggested that using communicative approach, a kind of complementary attitude in teaching pronunciation and writing, is taken in the teaching methods and the composing styles of Persian language teaching textbooks.

Abstract
The effect of cold-smoking was studied on the production of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), quality indexes, microbial community and omega-3 fatty acid profile of common carp. Thus, the fresh fish was smoked and stored for 30 days at 4°C. The nutritional values of both fresh and smoked products (protein, lipid, moisture and ash), pH and TVB-N indexes, microbial count including TC, molds and yeasts, were determined and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs, carcinogenic PAH4 compounds and also fatty acids composition were determined using HPLC and GC, respectively. The results showed that microbial community was well controlled and moisture content decreased during smoking, thus protein and lipid content were increased (P<0.05). TVB-N index for fresh fish was 10.87 and increased to 14.01 and 18.10 mg/100 in smoked and 30th days of production, respectively (P<0.05). High molecular weight of PAH4 were evaluated at 0.20, 1.70 and 1.30 µg/kg, respectively (P<0.05). No benzo[a]pyrene as a carcinogenic hydrocarbon in fresh fish was found, while it was found during smoking process (0.40 µg/kg) and after 30 days of storing (0.30 µg/kg) (P<0.05). The ω-3 fatty acids were determined in a range of 5.38 and raised to 5.53 g/100g in smoked fish and 5.47 g/100g after 30 days, which was insignificant (P>0.05).The results also showed that cold-smoking and one month storing at 4°C didn't change the composition of carp fatty acid, and useful series such as ω-3, ω-6, EPA and DHA were well preserved.

Abstract
Although Ghazals of Hafez have been researched on in different poetic and linguistic approaches, there is always a new finding when diving in this endless ocean. In this paper discourse of signature verses (Takhallus) of Hafez are analyzed using one of the most authorized and referred theories today but ignored for some times that of Bakhtin. The Russian philosopher who claims that the author is not the only speaker but along with “other voices” in an active interaction take part in the creation of the truth. Considering this view point, it was found that in spite of the fact that in most verses Hafez addresses himself, there is no “one” speaker. In other words he takes different varieties of viewpoints. In this way he sometimes agrees with Hafez, sometimes praises him, sometimes takes care of him, and still in other cases he opposes him, blames him, disagrees with him, or even outrages against him. Hafez is not alone, there are other voices in different layers of the discourse in a dialogic interaction. What makes this signature verses distinct is that here Hafez explicitly says that “I is an other”, “I must become the other of myself”, “I am my other self”. In this research, characteristics of polyphonic discourse are proposed as practical Models in three patterns for structural polyphony and three patterns for content or viewpoint polyphony with all the related sub-patterns.

Abstract
The present study deals with the conceptual metaphors of the domain of love in the mirror of the proverbs of three Persian, English and Turkish languages. Efforts have been made to extract and collect data from 15 sources languages. Some of these sources include the comprehensive Turkish-Turkish culture of Persian (Mohammad Kanar, 2005), proverbs of Azerbaijan (Habib Majidi Zolbeneen, 2010), Eul Susslerri (Mohammad Hassan Yousefi, 1998), the culture of proverbs (Henry Dividov, 2007) and the Proverbs (Ali Akbar Dehkhoda, 1363). Through search of sources, more than 10,000 proverbs were studied, of which we reached 203 proverbs in the field of love and 96 in the proverbs. Some of these entries were shared among the languages and some were assigned to one language. Attempts were made to bring the most frequent failures in the three distinct languages in the table. Along with the signs, the most frequent areas of origin were also identified and introduced to determine whether the speakers in these three languages used more than their source and source of metaphorical expressions of love.

Abstract
Abstract The amount of waste and agricultural wastes in Iran is very high due to the combination of resources that they have become suitable for ethanol production. Molasses is one of the most abundant and inexpensive carbon sources available and usable for ethanol production. With this application to prevent it from getting into the environment and the product is obtained as a clean and environmental fuel. The main objective of this study was to compare the production of ethanol from molasses by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zaymomonas Mobilis. In this study, the fermented juices of grapes are cultivated on the RM culture containing 1% Nystatin at Aerobic conditions and temperature is 30℃. Then the Zymomonas Mobilis was isolated and identified by using staining techniques, biochemical tests, growth in the presence of 7% ethanol and ribotyping. To determine the amount of ethanol production, 10% molasses medium was used. The amount of ethanol at 24, 48, 96, 120, 144 hours in 10% molasses were 1.45, 3.4 and 5.05% for Zymomonas mobili subsp. mobilis IRMH52, Zymomonas mobilis subsp. mobilis ATCC 10988 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, respectively. In this study, a new strain of Zymomonas mobilis were isolated and compared the production of ethanol with the same conditions showed that this strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce less ethanol.

Abstract
Aims: The breeding of Huso huso is a relatively new industry in Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of choline on growth factors, carcass composition, and haematological-biochemical parameters in juvenile beluga (Huso huso).
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 150 Huso huso in control, Cho2, Cho4, Cho6, and Cho8 treatments consisting of 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8g/kg-1 choline of food with 3 replicates per treatment were fed for 12 weeks to evaluate growth performance, carcass composition, and some haematological and serological parameters. The data were analysed by analysis of one way variance and Duncan test, using SPSS 24 software.
Findings: The final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate index, protein efficiency ratio, obesity coefficient, and feed conversion ratio of fish fed with diet containing appropriate levels of choline (2-4g/kg-1) were significantly better than fish fed with other diets. The highest growth and food efficiency was observed in fish fed with Cho4. With increasing choline in fish diet, body fat and protein concentrations significantly increased, but carcass moisture decreased. Also, addition of 2-4g/kg-1 choline to diet caused a significant difference in the mean number of red and white cells, the activity of liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase), albumin, and total blood protein compared with control treatment.
Conclusion: In order to achieve the best growth and optimal carcass composition of juvenile beluga, the most suitable amount of choline is 2-4g/kg-1 in the fish diet.

Abstract
Social psychology examines the social behavior of individuals against individuals and groups. Social psychology are discussed issues such as social relationships, conflict, and negotiation. The study and analysis of the story of Lohrasb and Goshtasb in Ferdowsi's Shahnam and the story of Achilles and Agamemnon in Iliad Homer provide a better understanding of these two stories in terms of social psychology. We have tried to compare the two stories descriptive analysis method, with a focus on behavior of Achilles and Goshtasb in coping with Agamemnon and Lohrasb, and study the causes of hostility, the similar behaviors and the consequences of hostility. Finally, we achieved the responses: Causes of enemity have been egoism of conflict sides, breaking pride of Achilles and Goshtasb and ignoring their needs in both stories. Goshtasb and Achilles have frustration for their opposite disrespect. They have tried to compensate their frustration by aggression, adaptive behavior, proving of themselves and negotiation leave. Enemy outcomes have been also very bad for Goshtasb and Achilles. So that Goshtasb accepted commander of the Roman army- enemy of Iran- to fight Iran and Achilles began the war with the Trojans through his mother, and he did not participate in it, so that the Achaemenians would fail.
