The Author’s Attitude of the Book “ Tarikh-i-Shahi” on Women Kings
No full textIranian society was a patriarchal one in which men had normally the highest authorities in political, social and economic relations and women often were absent from the scene of the official policy. But, since the prior qualification of the king was his attachment to the royal origins and family, the female’s rule was practiced in the case of unavailability of the mature males. Thus, Seyr-Al Moluks have been published for men. Seyr-Al Moluk writers, specifically after the hejiri sixth century, believed that women are the second-class God’s servants and physically and rationally do not have an independent existence; moreover, they have been created just for biological functions in generation production. Therefore, Seyr-Al Moluk writers divided society into the private and the public spheres and considered women in the private one. The author of Tarikh- I- Shahi wrote a book on the customs and the sovereignty of a woman king called Qutlugh Tarkan. This article presents the viewpoint of Seyr- Al Moluks on women. In addition, the phronesis described in the Tarikh- I- Shahi and the author’s historical experience about the principles and the standards of kingdom in a woman’s administration, as the first and perhaps the only experience is analyzed. Furthermore, Tarikh-I-Shahi is compared to the other Seyr-Al Moluks to examine the differences and the factors related to gender issues.

Faune et flore des niveaux profonds de Shahi-Tump (Balochistan, Pakistan). Premiers résultats
No full textAt Shahi-Tump, a site excavated by the French Archaeological Mission to Makran (district of Kech-Makran, Baluchistan, Pakistan), the oldest occupational levels belong to an aceramic neolithic horizon. The first results obtained by the analysis of archaeozoological and archaeobotanical remains suggest nevertheless that we deal here with a phase immediately preceding the introduction of ceramics into this western part of Baluchistan. The exploitation of wild resources was of minor importance and the subsistence economy seems to have been mainly based on a limited number of domestic animal and plant species. This model is uncommon in the vast region stretching from eastern Iran to the Indus. The only other site that has provided remains of domestic animals and plants associated with aceramic neolithic levels is Mehrgarh. However, at this site, situated in a quite different biogeographical zone, wild animals constituted a significant part of the diet, while hunting never played an important role in the subsistence economy at Shahi-Tump. The rarity of aceramic deposits across this region justifi es the publication of the first results from Shahi-Tump even though this paper does not contain detailed information, most particularly morphometric data. These will be presented at length in a future monograph dedicated to the site.À Shahi-Tump, site fouillé par la Mission archéologique française au Makran (district de Kech-Makran, Balochistan pakistanais), les niveaux les plus anciens appartiennent à un faciès néolithique acéramique. Pourtant, les premiers résultats des analyses des restes archéozoologiques et archéobotaniques indiquent une séquence culturelle qui correspond à la phase ultime précédant l’introduction de la céramique dans cette région occidentale du Balochistan. L’exploitation du milieu naturel y est de faible importance et l’économie alimentaire repose fondamentalement sur des espèces animales et végétales domestiques - mais dont le spectre est encore limité. Un tel modèle est rare dans la vaste région comprise entre l’Iran oriental et l’Indus. Le seul site ayant livré des faunes et des fl ores domestiquées associées à des niveaux sans céramique est le site de Merhgarh. Ce dernier appartient cependant à une zone biogéographique très différente du Makran, et le rôle des animaux sauvages pour l’obtention de protéines d’origine animale y est très important, alors qu’il n’a joué qu’un rôle mineur dans l’économie de Shahi-Tump. La rareté de tels horizons dans toute cette région nous a paru justifi er la diffusion des points originaux concernant l’économie alimentaire de ce site avant la publication d’autres données - tout particulièrement la métrique - qui seront présentées dans le cadre de la future monographie consacrée aux restes de ce gisement.Desse J., Desse-Berset Nathalie, Henry Auréade, Tengberg Margareta, Besenval R.

Exploration of the outcomes and experiences of people living with cognitive impairment and intracerebral haemorrhage: a mixed methods approach
No full textIntroduction
Stroke due to intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the most devastating and least treatable
type of stroke, where onset is sudden, often leaving the individual and family ill-prepared to
deal with the long-term consequences. Associations between cognitive impairment and
ischaemic stroke have been well described in the literature however fewer data are available
for ICH and cognitive impairment. Although some studies have investigated the prevalence
and risk factors of cognitive decline before and after ICH, very little is known about the
influence of cognitive decline on functional outcome after ICH. Furthermore, there have been
no qualitative studies designed specifically to examine the experiences of people living with
cognitive impairment after intracerebral haemorrhage.
Aims
To explore the outcomes and experiences of people living with cognitive impairment and
intracerebral haemorrhage:
(a) To study the prevalence of pre-existing dementia and cognitive impairment in patients
with ICH, and to quantify their incidence at specific time points thereafter,
(b) To investigate the demographic, clinical, radiographic and functional outcomes associated
with the occurrence of cognitive impairment following an ICH, and
(c) Evaluate the experience of life after ICH with cognitive impairment.
Methods
(a) A retrospective analysis of all patients diagnosed with ICH in one region of Scotland
between June 2010 and May 2013, who had available CT data from the time of the index ICH
(n=404), was conducted. Data were taken from the Lothian Audit of the Treatment of
Cerebral Haemorrhage, including people aged ≥ 16 years at the time of diagnosis. Data on
demographics, medical history, and medication was drawn on. In addition to determining the
prevalence and risk factors of pre-existing cognitive decline, survival analysis was used to
determine cumulative rates of patients remaining free of cognitive decline up to 5 years after
their ICH (LATCH COG).
(b) A prospective observational cohort sub-study (LINCHPIN COG) of adults with ICH (n=45)
was conducted using a detailed assessment of cognition and functional outcomes at 6 and
12-24 months after ICH. Pre-existing cognitive decline was measured using the IQCODE
informant questionnaire, whilst also collecting basic demographic data, data on vascular risk
factors, stroke severity, level of dependency, and neuroimaging features on computed
tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The primary outcome was new-onset
cognitive impairment (defined as MoCA score <26) at 6 months, when functional outcomes
(depression, fatigue, health-related quality of life) were also measured.
(c) In an embedded qualitative study, six ICH survivors and four family members participated
in semi-structured interviews and gave details about their experiences of life after ICH. The
data collected was analysed using a thematic analysis approach.
Results
(a) Using data from LATCH COG, I found that roughly 1 in 4 (23%) patients had cognitive
decline prior to their ICH. Forty-one patients (10%) had cognitive impairment with no
dementia. Fifty-two patients met the criteria for pre-existing dementia (13%).
In univariate analysis of LATCH COG, CT neuroimaging markers of cerebral amyloid
angiopathy and small vessel disease were associated with pre-existing cognitive decline. In
logistic regression analysis, patients who had a lobar ICH were twice as likely to exhibit preexisting
cognitive decline and 3 times more likely to exhibit pre-existing dementia than those
who had a non-lobar ICH. Patients with central (deep) atrophy were over 4 times more likely
to exhibit cognitive decline and 8 times more likely to exhibit dementia before their stroke
than those without. In line with this, severity of white matter changes was associated with
pre-existing cognitive decline, suggesting a neurodegenerative process. Increasing age and
larger haemorrhage volume were also associated with an increased likelihood of patients
having cognitive decline prior to their stroke.
During the first 5 years of follow-up of LATCH COG, of the 168 patients who survived longer
than 30-days after their ICH, 47 patients developed new-onset cognitive decline (cognitive
impairment and dementia). Cumulative survival rates for patients remaining free of cognitive
decline were 82% in the first year and 65% at 5 years.
In univariate analysis of LATCH COG, presence of posterior white matter lucencies was
associated with new-onset dementia, indicating an association with markers of small vessel
disease. In Cox regression analysis, patients who had a lobar ICH were twice as likely to
exhibit new-onset cognitive decline than those who had a non-lobar ICH. In those who
survived past 30 days, the incidence of new-onset cognitive decline was 37% in patients with
lobar ICH and 20% in patients with non-lobar ICH.
(b) Cognitive impairment is frequent after ICH with 43% of participants from LINCHPIN COG
scoring <26 on the MOCA at 6 months.
In univariate analysis of LINCHPIN COG, new-onset cognitive impairment at 6 months was
associated with pre-ICH history of hypertension. I could not detect statistically significant
associations between new-onset cognitive impairment and functional outcomes at 6 months.
The small sample size may have been a significant contributory factor, making it difficult to
identify any statistically significant differences between those with and without cognitive
impairment
(c) Thematic analysis of the qualitative interviews identified four overarching themes relating
to how survivor’s and their family members experienced life after stroke: ‘the effects of
stroke on sense of self and identity’, ‘adaptions and adjustment’, ‘uncertainty’, and ‘impact
on family members’. These findings were interpreted in relation to theories of biographical
disruption and suggest the necessity for individualised assessment of needs and the planning
of services to best assist stroke survivors in coming to terms with their illness and its longterm
consequences.
Conclusion
Pre-existing cognitive decline affects more than one-fifth of patients with ICH. For survivors
of ICH without pre-existing cognitive decline, over two-fifths develop new-onset cognitive
impairment by 6 months after ICH. Neuroimaging markers of cerebral amyloid angiopathy
and small vessel disease were associated with pre-existing and new-onset cognitive decline.
New-onset cognitive impairment at 6 months was associated with pre-ICH history of
hypertension. This implies an important role of vascular processes on the pathophysiology of
post-ICH cognitive decline. The qualitative accounts in this study indicate the devastating
effect that a stroke due to haemorrhage can have on the lives of survivors and their families,
with participants often indicating that they could no longer be the person that they were
before the stroke. These data may help inform patients, their family and caregivers about the
risk of cognitive impairment after ICH and its resultant impact on the lives of survivors

Effect of benzyladenine on post-harvest berry drop in Anab-e-Shahi grapes (Vitis vinifera L.)
No full textExperiments conducted at the Agricultural College, Dharwar, showed that a preharvest spray of benzyladenine (a cytokinin) at 500 ppm significantly reduced the post-harvest berry drop in Anab-e-Shahi grapes. A mixture of 100 ppm a-NAA and 100 ppm cytokinin solution resulted in the least berry drop. The \u27drop test\u27 confirmed that the berries were more firmly held in the treated lots than in untreated ones. No marked influence of the chemical on the losses in weight and wastage was observed at this concentration
