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
High-resolution melting curve analysis: a novel method for identification of Mycoplasma species isolated from clinical cases of bovine and porcine respiratory disease
No full textMycoplasma species cause wide ranges of infectious diseases in human and animals. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by a high-resolution melting curve assay (HRM) for rapid differentiation of Mycoplasma species isolated from clinical cases of bovine and porcine respiratory disease. Lung samples from suspected cases to respiratory infections from cows and pigs were cultured on specific media, and the extracted DNA were tested by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for Mycoplasma. A set of universal primers specific for the 16S ribosomal RNA gene was designed and used for RT-PCR and HRM. The HRM analysis was able to differentiate between five different species of Mycoplasmas, namely, M. hyopneumoniae, M. bovis, M. hyorhinis, M. hyosynoviae and other uncultured Mycoplasma. All results were confirmed based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. This rapid and reliable assay was as a simple alternative to PCR and sequencing, differentiating bovine and porcine mycoplasmas in species level.Ania Ahani Azari, Reza Amanollahi, Razi Jafari Jozani, Darren J.

تعيين اثربخشي سيستم تهويه در يک سالن تشريح با استفاده از روش استاندارد ISO 16000-8
No full textBackground and Objectives: Dissection laboratories should have effective ventilation always. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation system in a dissection labratory.
Materials and Methods: Based on ISO 16000-8 using tracer gas decay method, the effectiveness of a ventilation system operating at 4 different modes including 1)exhaust system is “on”, 2) supply system is “on”, 3) both systems are “on”, and 4 both systems are “off” in a dissection lab was evaluated. Tracer gas (SF6) was injected into dissection lab and air sampling was conducted in five zones of the lab. The air samples were then transferred to the laboratory and their concentration was determined. Finally, the Local mean age (LMA) and Room mean age of air (RMA) and the rate of local and general exhaust ventilation were calculated. Ethical issues relatet to human bodies was considered in the research protochol.
Results: Two-way analysis of variances showed that while the LMA and the local rate of ventilation at different ventilating modes had no significant, the effect of ventilating mode on the RMA and general ventilation rate, was significant (P <0.001). One-way ANOVA test showed that the exhaust system had the greatest effect on RMA and general ventilation rate of the room.
Conclusion: According to the results, the ventilation is more effective when the supply and exhaust systems are “on” together considering the toxicity of formaldehyde, in addition to the general exhaust ventilation, the implementation of a local exhaust ventilation system for each mortuary desk is recommended.

سابقه و هدف: سالنهاي تشريح ازجمله مکانهايي هستند که بايد همواره از تهويه مؤثري برخوردار باشند. هدف از اين مطالعه تعيين اثربخشي سيستم تهويه يک سالن تشريح با استفاده از روش استاندارد 8-16000 ISO بود.
روش بررسي: در مطالعه حاضر ضمن حفظ شأن و احترام اجساد انساني موجود در يک سالن تشريح در طول مدت پژوهش، اثربخشي سيستم تهويه يک سالن تشريح در چهار حالت متفاوت شامل: مکنده روشن، دمنده روشن، هر دو سيستم روشن و هر دو سيستم خاموش، بر پايه استاندارد 8-16000 ISO، به روش نرخ کاهش گاز ردياب (SF6) مورد ارزيابي قرار گرفت. گاز ردياب در سالن، تزريق و سپس نمونهبرداري در پنج نقطه انجام و در آزمايشگاه تعيين مقدار شد. سپس ميانگين عمر موضعي هوا و ميانگين عمر هواي سالن و همچنين نرخ تهويه موضعي و کلي هواي سالن تعيين گرديد.
يافتهها: نتايج آزمون آناليز واريانس دوطرفه نشان داد که ميانگين عمر موضعي هوا و نرخ تهويه محلي در محلها و حالات مختلف سيستم تهويه تفاوت معنيداري (0.390=p-value و 0.220=p-value ) نداشتند. همچنين اثر حالت سيستم تهويه بر ميانگين عمر هواي سالن و نرخ تهويه سالن معنيدار بود (P<0.001). آزمون آناليز واريانس يکطرفه نشان داد که سيستم مکنده بيشترين اثر را بر ميانگين عمر هوا و نرخ تهويه سالن داشت.
نتيجهگيري: بر اساس نتايج حاصله سيستم تهويه در هنگاميکه هم دمنده و هم مکنده روشن باشند اثربخشتر بود. با توجه به سميت فرمالدئيد، علاوه بر تهويه عمومي استفاده از تهويه موضعي استاندارد نيز براي ميزهاي تشريح قوياً توصيه ميشود.

Perspectives on decentralization past, present, and future: a review of conferences in Grenoble, Milan, and Delft (2017–2019)
No full textDecentralization has actively engaged various fields of sociology, economy, and governance in the development of urban regions and territories. As a multifaceted strategy, decentralization contributes to enrich our understanding of national and international forces, power struggles, economic factors, and their impacts on the built environment. To frame the discourse of decentralization on urban development, three institutions of ENSAG Université Grenoble Alpes, Politecnico di Milano, and the Delft University of Technology closely collaborated to organize three conferences in Grenoble, Milan, and Delft, respectively. They called scholarly attention re-thinking of urban and regional planning of the twentieth century through the lens of decentralization’s values and ideologies. These three conferences laid out how decentralization and its evolution engaged with the field of planning, and in turn, affected urban transformation and regional development worldwide. Focusing on the role of decentralization in urban and regional planning, these scholarly events offered an innovative perspective on research on planning history. This report, therefore, reflects upon the discussions took place at these three conferences to outline the diversity of perspectives on decentralization and its role in urban and regional planning in the past, present, and future
Can society nurture humanistic marketing?
No full textFor more than four decades, academic debates on the morality of marketing have focused mainly on the advantages and disadvantages of marketing as an institution. This essay questions the usefulness of such debates to addressing many challenges of life in contemporary society and argues that engagement in such discussions will only entrap us in vicious circles of argumentation. The author calls for collective social responsibility and argues that humanistic marketing can only be realised in a humanistic society
The Sociological Explanation of the Effect of Lifestyle on the Attitude towards Divorce among Couples referring to the Welfare Organization Centers in Guilan Reza Jafari Sadehi , Hossein Agha-Jani Marsa Amir Masoud Amir Mazaheri Received: 11/06/2017 Accepted: 05/09/2017
No full textThe Sociological Explanation of the Effect of Lifestyle on the Attitude towards Divorce among Couples referring to the Welfare Organization Centers in Guilan Reza Jafari Sadehi[1] , Hossein Agha-Jani Marsa[2] Amir Masoud Amir Mazaheri[3] Received: 11/06/2017 Accepted: 05/09/2017 Abstract The goal of this research was to study the mediating role of lifestyle on the relationship between economic-cultural capital and the attitude to divorce. The study is a survey of the casual comparative method. The theoretical framework of the study consists of theories by Weber, Simmel, Giddens, Chaney, Weblen and Chaney. The research sample included 278 divorced spouses who had referred to the Welfare Organization centers in Guilan. They were selected through random sampling and were asked to complete a questionnaire on attitude to divorce and economic-cultural capital. The conceptual model in this research was evaluated through a path analysis with an Amos of 18. The measured relative and absolute indexes confirmed the model. This suggests that the impact of cultural and economic capital on lifestyle mediation in the attitude to divorce is meaningful. The impact of cultural capital on lifestyle is significant but not for the attitude to divorce but the attitude toward divorce changes significantly. The impact of lifestyle on attitude to divorce is also significant. Keywords: Lifestyle, Attitude Toward Divorce, Cultural Capital, Economic Capital [1].

Etymology The specific epithet refers to the form of the inflorescence: a thyrsoid synflorescence with one-flowered secondary inflorescences. Material examined Type IRAN – Isfahan • north of Semirom on the rocks; 31.422412° N, 51.572952° E; alt. 2530 m; 26 Sep. 2014; M. Mirtadzadini 2089; holotype: MIR!; isotype: TARI!. Genbank: LC710550 (ITS) and LC710552 (rps16). Description Perennial plants, glabrous, internode viscid. Stems 33.5‒35.5 cm tall, pale green, glabrous, viscid, internodes 14–32 mm long. Basal leaves 14‒20× 2.5‒4 mm, oblanceolate, base attenuate, acute, apex shortly mucronate, glabrous, minutely ciliate margins, glaucous; cauline leaves oblanceolate to linear, acute, apex acuminate, 7–20× 0.5–2 mm, often glabrous. Synflorescence thyrsoid with few flowers, secondary inflorescences with one flower, pedicels (4.5‒) 5‒16 mm long, glabrous. Bracteoles small, lanceolate, 1–1.5 mm long. Calyx narrow cylindrical, 8–10 mm long, glabrous, coriaceous; teeth membranous at margin, triangular, 2 mm long, two teeth acute with narrow transparent margin, other three teeth slightly broader, rounded, and with broad transparent margin. Petals yellowish (when dried), claw 5–5.5 mm long, with broad lateral margins, glabrous, without coronal scales; limb 5–5.5 mm long, linear, bifid to base. Anthophore 3 mm long, puberulent. Mature capsule 5.5‒6× 3‒3.5 mm, ovoidoblong. Seeds 0.8× 0.6–0.7 mm, basically reniform, seed testa cells elongate with V-shaped margins. Distribution and habitat Silene thyrsiantha F.Jafari, Mirtadz. & Keshavarzi sp. nov. grows on stony rocks in central part of Iran near Semiron in the Isfahan Province at an altitude of about 2500 m. Remarks In the ITS phylogeny, S. thyrsiantha F.Jafari, Mirtadz. & Keshavarzi sp. nov. is a member of a wellsupported, but unresolved, group with S. ghahremaninejadii, S. penduliflora F.Jafari, Keshavarzi & Doostm. sp. nov., S. ruprechtii (MK559501, MN420835), and S. shahrudensis. The occurrence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) leads to the variation of branch length (Fig. 1, PP=1, MLB =100%). However, S. thyrsiantha is the closest relative of S. penduliflora sp. nov. in the rps16 tree (Fig. 2, PP=1, MLB =96%). Silene thyrsiantha F.Jafari, Mirtadz. & Keshavarzi sp. nov. and S. parrowiana grow in the same rocky habitats. They are similar in having a compact caudex, glabrous stem, thyrsoid synflorescences and coriaceous calyx. Petal limbs are bifid to base and claws without coronal scales. However, they are different in geographical distribution (Semirom in Isfahan Province is about 650 km away from Bisotun in Kermanshah Province). The stems of S. thyrsiantha are viscid while they are non-viscid in S. parrowiana. Both calyx length and pedicel length in S. thyrsiantha are longer than in S. parrowiana. The secondary inflorescences in S. thyrsiantha are mainly one-flowered while the number of flowers in the secondary inflorescence are more than three in S. parrowiana. The inflorescence looks lax with less flowers in Silene thyrsiantha compared to S. parrowiana. Cauline leaves are shorter than leaf internodes in Silene thyrsiantha while they are often larger in S. parrowiana. Silene thyrsiantha F.Jafari, Mirtadz. & Keshavarzi sp. nov. is distributed in Semirom which is about 300 km from Khamin Mountain in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, and 800 km from Shahrud in Semnan Province. The new species differs from S. shahrudensis in leaf apex (acute or acuminate vs rounded), cauline leaf size (14‒20 × 2.5‒4 mm vs 15‒35× 2.5‒6 mm), pedicel length (4.5‒16 mm vs 6‒12 mm), thyrsoid synflorescence (thyrsoid vs lax thyrsoid; the number of nodes and length of internodes are different), petal limb (linear vs oblanceolate), claw indumentum (glabrous vs ciliate), and seed size (0.8 ×0.6–0.7 vs 1.1× 0.8 mm; margins of the testa cells V-shaped vs U-shaped). The holotype of S. ghahremaninejadii was not available at TARI when the first author visited the herbarium. The morphological comparison between S. ghahremaninejadii and S. thyrsiantha was conducted using information from the protologue (Table 1).Published as part of Jafari, Farzaneh, Keshavarzi, Maryam, Doostmohammadi, Moslem & Mirtadzadini, Mansour, 2023, Two new chasmophytic species of Silene (Caryophyllaceae, sect.
