Solving Singular Boundary Value Problems Using Daftardar-Jafari Method
No full textIn this paper, we apply the suggested iterative method by Daftardar and Jafari hereafter called Daftardar-Jafari method for solving singular boundary value problems. In the implementation of this new method, one does not need the computation of the derivative of the so-called Adomian polynomials. The method is quite efficient and is practically well suited for use in these problems. Two illustrative examples has been presented

Fig. 1 Leopoldia tenuiflorae (Tausch) Heldr affinis racemus densus, cylindrico-conici nec laxus cylindricus, flores fertiles oblongo-urceolati nec tubularo-urceolati, purpureo-violati nec olivaceus flores sterilibus purpureus nec violacea. Capsula triangulares nec cordato-ovoidea differt. Type:— IRAN. Kurdistan: Sanandaj to Marivan road, Tijtij, Tijtij hills, 1650 m, 2 May 2010. Jafari, Dezyanian & Kaffash. 110. (Holo: IAUM, Iso: TARI). Bulbs c.5–6× 4–5 cm, ovoid with greyish cream tunics. Leaves 5–13 in number, c.20–40 × 1.7–2 cm, strap shaped, weakly canaliculated, attenuate with scabrous margins, shorter or longer than raceme. Scape 1, c. 23– 30 cm long. Raceme c.10–15× 2.5–5 cm, dense, cylindrical-conical, rachis violet. Pedicel of fertile flowers deflexed or ascending, c. 0.8–1.5 cm, violet. Fertile flowers 60–70 in number, c. 4.5–5 mm × 1–1.2, oblongurceolate, round shoulder, purple-violet in fresh and pale brown in dried flowers; lobes c. 0.5 mm ascending, weakly deflexed, black. Pedicel of sterile flowers c. 3–5 mm. Sterile flowers 12–20 in number, c. 2–3 mm, same length or shorter than pedicel, ascending, purple, triangular-campanulate. Capsule triangular, c.3–4× 2– 3 mm, obtuse. Distribution and Habitat: — L. tijtijensis is distributed in the Tijtij hills from 1630–1700 m in Kurdistan province which is part of the Irano-Turanian phytogeographical region. This species grows on stony slopes with Bellevalia pycnantha and B. glauca; L. tijijensis flowers in May. Four specimens were collected from the locality. The specimens are kept in IAUM herbarium. Comparison: — The most obvious characteristics of L. tijtijensis are the purple-violet fertile and purple sterile flowers respectively. The new species is similar to L. tenuiflora (Tausch.) Heldr in having relatively broad scabrid leaves which are longer than scape, black perianth lobes and horizontal or deflexed pedicels of fertile flowers. It differs in the shape of raceme, the shape and colour of fertile and sterile flowers and the capsule shape (Table. 1). Ethymology:— The new species was named based on its locality, Tijtij city is between Sanandaj and Marivan. Additional specimens examined:— IRAN. Kurdistan: Tijtij, Sanandaj to Marivan road. Tijtij hills, 1630- 1700 m, 2 May 2010, Jafari, Dezyanian & Kaffash, 109-112, (IAUM, TARI). The discovery of this new species raises the number of Iranian species in the genus Leopoldia to six; most of them are distributed in the west and north of Iran.Published as part of Jafari, Azarnoosh, 2012, A new species of Leopoldia (Asparagaceae) from Iran, pp. 61-64 in Phytotaxa 43 on page 62, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.43.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/489495
A new generalization of contra-continuity via Levine's g-closed sets
No full textIn [Dontchev J. Contra-continuous functions and strongly S-closed spaces. Int J Math Math Sci 1996;19:303–10], Dontchev introduced and investigated a new notion of continuity called contra-continuity. Recently, Jafari and Noiri [Jafari S, Noiri T. Contra-a-continuous functions between topological spaces. Iran Int J Sci 2001;2:153–67, Jafari S, Noiri T. Contra-super-continuous functions. Ann Univ Sci Budapest 1999;42:27–34, Jafari S, Noiri T. On contraprecontinuous functions. Bull Malaysian Math Sci Soc 2002;25(2):115–28] introduced new generalizations of contracontinuity called contra-a-continuity, contra-super-continuity and contra-precontinuity. In this paper, we introduce and investigate a generalization of contra-continuity by utilizing Levine’s generalized closed sets

Non-western contexts: the invisible half
No full textLike many other disciplines within the broad area of social sciences (e.g., anthropology, gender studies, psychology, sociology, etc.), consumer research is also highly navigated by scholars from Western countries. This, however, does not mean, by any means, that consumer research is devoted to studying Western contexts only. As evident from the ever-increasing number of regional conferences (e.g., Asia-Pacific and Latin American conferences of the Association for Consumer Research) and non-Western students' enrolment in doctoral programs at Western universities, there are many more researchers (from non-Western countries) who are entering the field and enriching it by their colourful contributions. Yet, given the low number of publications on consumer research in non-Western contexts, it seems that our current knowledge in these societies has a long way to go to flourish. More specifically, and in the domain of consumption culture research, this gap is even further widened by the fact that the culture of consumption in such contexts is largely interpreted with reference to the 'grand narratives' of Western scholars (e.g., Foucault, Mafessoli, Bourdieu, Deleuze, Baudrillard, Nietzsche, Durkheim, Derrida, etc.). Therefore, from an ontological perspective, it seems that our existing knowledge about non-Western societies lies heavily on the 'theoretical structures' that are 'constructed' by Western philosophy as a set of ideas, beliefs, and practices (Said, 1978). As Belk (1995) reminds us, consumption culture always existed in all human societies. What makes contemporary societies different from that of our predecessors' is not the fact that consumption culture did not exist in those societies, but that consumption culture has become a prevailing feature in modern society (Slater, 1997; Lury, 1996; Fırat and Venkatesh, 1995; McCracken, 1988). Therefore, the nature and dynamics of consumption culture in each society should be studied not only against the sociocultural, historical, and economic background of a given context (Western or non-Western) but also with reference to the philosophical and epistemological viewpoints that analyse and interpret cultural practices of that society from within that culture. Addressing such issues, this paper discusses some of the key reasons for lack of theory development in the field from non-western contexts. The paper invites scholars in non-Western contexts to introduce the less articulated, and sometime hidden, body of knowledge from their own contexts into the field of marketing in general and consumer research in particular
Mohammad Ebrahim Jafari: Aesthetics of Painting in Poetry
No full textThe article is devoted to the creative heritage of the outstanding figure of Iranian culture — poet and artist Mohammad Ebrahim Jafari (1940–2018). The novelty of the presented research is determined by the almost complete absence of scientific works devoted to this issue: basic biographical facts, analysis of artistic language and the specific imagery of M. E. Jafari are poorly represented even in the Persian language. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of the national-cultural horizon of the synthetic genre combining painting and poetry developed by Jafari. To achieve this goal, it was necessary, firstly, to trace the poet’s biography; secondly, to clarify the nature of the artistic images created by him at different stages of his life and to analyze the original method of the author’s initiative as a way of artistic enrichment of the new synthetic genre. The multifaceted nature of the research subject determined the need for an interdisciplinary approach and the use of a complex of methods such as biographical, hermeneutic, and comparative typological. The author of the article has studied all the video materials and interviews of the poet published to date, his paintings, as well as a collection of selected poems. The author of the article also translated, for the first time, from Persian all the poetic material presented in the text. The study showed that M. E. Jafari, who does not differentiate the forms of creativity, easily transfers the stylistic techniques of his paintings to poems, which fills his lyrics with different shades of colors and smells. Poetic rhythm can be seen in his paintings, at the same time, abstract pictorial images embody the most significance for the poet in terms of acuity of perception, creating images of space and time as a unique experience, extremely concrete in its strength and depth. The masterly combination of abstract expressiveness and specificity of the sensual image makes it possible to attribute the deeply personal artistic creativity of M. E. Jafari to the cultural wave of new poetry, which meets the basic principles of the philosophy of Iranian modernism
