No full textPosition of Ministers in Manshaat Salatin moenodin parvaneh-shamsodin esfahani-salahodin ayboubiManshaat Salatin is a work by an unknown author in the sixth and seventh centuries, written on the subject of the principles of governmental and bureaucratic correspondence (including: greetings, condolences, rites, ranks, government orders, spelling rules, exaggeration methods, etc.). Using a descriptive-analytical method, this article examines the letters of three ministers (Shams-ud-Din Isfahani, Moin-ud-Din Parvaneh and Salah-ud-Din Ayoubi) and explores the social, historical and cultural characteristics of that era. There has been no methodical or academic research on Manshaat Salatin.The results of the research show that Iranshahri ideas have been prominently highlighted in Manshaat Salatin. Through the letters, the authors have called on their audiences to be truthful, just, and reasonable, and in fact have developed an independent and documented code of conduct that has prevented the premature deviation and decline of the government.Keywords: Manshaat Salatin, Content-Based Stylistics, Court correspondence, Iranshahri Idea

Cohort of Iranian Patients with Congenital Agammaglobulinemia: Mutation Analysis and Novel Gene Defects
No full textOBJECTIVES:
Impairment in early B-cell development can cause a predominantly antibody deficiency with severe depletion of peripheral B-cells. Mutations in the gene encoding for Bruton's-tyrosine-kinase (BTK) and the components of the pre-B-cell receptor complex or downstream signaling molecules have been related to this defect in patients with agammaglobulinemia.
METHODS:
Iranian patients with congenital agammaglobulinemia were included and the correlation between disease-causing mutations and parameters such as clinical and immunologic phenotypes were evaluated in available patients.
RESULTS:
Out of 87 patients, a molecular investigation was performed on 51 patients leading to identification of 39 cases with BTK (1 novel mutation), 5 cases of μ-heavy chain (3 novel mutations) and 1 case of Igα-deficiencies.
CONCLUSION:
Although there is no comprehensive correlation between type of responsible BTK mutation and severity of clinical phenotype, our data suggest that BTK-deficient and autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia patients differ significantly regarding clinical/immunologic characteristics

Abstract This present study is descriptive and aims to examine the attitudes of women with disabilities who reside in the city of Tehran toward childbearing. The studied population consists of all married women with disabilities in Tehran (1500 people) based on the results of 2017 National Population and Housing Census in Iran. The sampling method was a systematic sampling method and the size of the sample was determined through Cochran formula through which 300 people were selected as the sample of the study. The required data for the Study were collected through questionnaires. Results of the factor analysis have proved that there is no correlation between the measures of any factor with the measures of other factors and any factor has its own impact on the disabled women’s attitude toward child bearing. According to calculations of the Chi-square test, there is a significant correlation between the attitudes of women with disabilities toward childbearing and economic, social and cultural factors. There is also a significant relationship between the attitudes of women with disabilities toward child bearing and the number of their brothers and sisters as well as their family size. There was a significant relationship between the attitudes of women with disabilities toward child bearing and social welfare, circumferential justice and benefiting from social security. Regression results have shown that demographic factors with over 57%, social factors with more than 69%, economic factors with more than 58% and cultural factors with more than 63% have been effective in determining the attitudes of women with disabilities towards childbearing.

Stagnation, Regression, Progression - Phasen der Entwicklung lexikalischer Kompetenz im Deutschen als Fremdsprache bei italienischen Studierenden
No full textIl contributo si occupa dello sviluppo delle competenze lessicali, un tema che è sempre stato al centro della didattica delle lingue straniere e che si riflette sempre più spesso negli ultimi due decenni nella ricerca. Tuttavia, gli studi sullo sviluppo delle competenze lessicali nell'insegnamento del tedesco come lingua straniera tra gli studenti (adulti) sono ancora una rarità. L'autrice vorrebbe dare un contributo in tal senso affrontando lo sviluppo della competenza lessicale in tedesco tra gli studenti italiani adulti e presentando i risultati parziali di uno studio a lungo termine condotto con studenti italiani presso l'Università di Cagliari nel periodo 2009-2013, in cui è stato dimostrato un aumento del vocabolario usato nella lingua straniera. Per quanto riguarda l'acquisizione del vocabolario invece, rivela l'importanza di studi a lungo termine, in quanto consentono di determinare in modo esaustivo le competenze dei partecipanti nei test nelle aree di riferimento..The present study deals with the development of lexical competence, a topic which has always been a central topic for foreign language didactics, and which is increasingly reflected in the last two decades at the research level. Nevertheless, studies on the development of lexical competence in German (as a foreign language) teaching among (adult) learners are still a rarity. The author would like to make a contribution to this by addressing the development of lexical competence in German as a foreign language among adult Italian learners and by presenting the partial results of a long-term study conducted with Italian students at the University of Cagliari in the period 2009-2013, in which an increase in the vocabulary used in German was proven. With regards to the acquisition of foreign language vocabulary it also reveals the importance of long-term studies, as they make it possible to comprehensively determine the qualities of the test persons in the corresponding competence area.Für die Fremdsprachendidaktik stellt die Entwicklung der lexikalischen Kompetenz seit jeher ein zentrales Thema dar, was sich in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten auch auf der Forschungsebene zunehmend widerspiegelt. Dennoch sind Untersuchungen zum Aufbau lexikalischer Kompetenz im DaF-Unterricht bei (erwachsenen) Lernern immer noch eine Seltenheit. Die vorliegende Studie möchte gerade dazu einen Beitrag leisten, indem sie die Entwicklung lexikalischer Kompetenzen im Deutschen als Fremdsprache bei erwachsenen italienischen Lernern thematisiert und die Teilergebnisse einer Langzeitstudie vorstellt, die im Zeitraum 2009-2013 an der Universität Cagliari mit italienischen Studierenden durchgeführt wurde, wobei grundsätzlich ein Anstieg des verwendeten Wortschatzes im Deutschen belegt werden konnte. Anhand dieser Studie zum Erwerb fremdsprachlichen Wortschatzes wird außerdem die Wichtigkeit von Langzeitstudien deutlich, da sie es ermöglichen, die Qualitäten der Probanden in dem entsprechenden Kompetenzbereich umfassend zu ermitteln
Estimating process noise variance of PPP-RTK corrections: a means for sensing the ionospheric time-variability
No full textThe provision of accurate ionospheric corrections in PPP-RTK enormously improves the performance of single-receiver user integer ambiguity resolution (IAR), thus enabling fast high precision positioning. While an external provider can disseminate such corrections to the user with a time delay, it is the task of the user to accurately time-predict the corrections so that they become applicable to the user positioning time. Accurate time prediction of the corrections requires a dynamic model in which the process noise of the corrections has to be correctly specified. In this contribution, we present an estimation method to determine the process noise variance of PPP-RTK corrections using single-receiver GNSS data. Our focus is on variance estimation of the first-order slant ionospheric delays, which allows one to analyze how the ionospheric process noise changes as a function of the solar activity, receiver local time, and receiver geographic latitude. By analyzing 11-year GNSS datasets, it is illustrated that estimates of the ionospheric process noise are strongly correlated with the solar flux index F10.7. These estimates also indicate a seasonal variation, with the highest level of variation observed during the spring and autumn equinoxes.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Optical and Laser Remote Sensin
