River flow regime alteration : causes and effects in different climate systems
No full textAbstract
This thesis investigates the causes and effects of river flow alteration across different climate systems. It examines case studies from arid and semi-arid regions (Zayandeh-Rud River basin and Iran’s central plateau), humid regions (southern Caspian Sea (SCS)), and cold regions (Torniojoki River basin in Finland). The research develops a framework to quantify the impact of anthropogenic (AD) and climatic (CD) drivers on river flow and assesses their consequences. This thesis includes five peer-reviewed publications, and one submitted manuscript. The findings reveal that CD has reduced inflows to the Zayandeh-Rud Dam, while AD is the primary cause of inflow reduction and water body shrinkage in Iran’s central plateau. In the humid SCS region, AD has caused a decline in inflows to the Caspian Sea. In contrast, the cold Torniojoki River basin has experienced increased flow due to CD. This research highlights the urgent need to address hydrological alterations worldwide. Developing effective strategies is essential to mitigate the impacts of human activities and climate change on river systems. Future efforts should prioritize improving climate adaptation strategies, leveraging advanced remote sensing and data analytics for real-time hydrological monitoring, and investing in ecosystem-based solutions to restore natural processes and enhance resilience to extreme weather events.

Tämä väitöskirja tutkii jokivirtaaman muutosten syitä ja vaikutuksia eri ilmastojärjestelmissä. Se tarkastelee tapaustutkimuksia kuivilla ja puolikuivilla alueilla (Zayandeh-Rudin valuma-alue ja Iranin keskinen tasanko), kosteilla alueilla (eteläinen Kaspianmeri (SCS)) ja kylmillä alueilla (Tornionjoen valuma-alue Suomessa). Tutkimus kehittää viitekehyksen ihmislähtöisten tekijöiden (AD) ja ilmastollisten tekijöiden (CD) vaikutusten määrälliseen arviointiin jokivirtaamaan sekä niiden seurausten analysointiin. Tämä väitöskirja sisältää viisi vertaisarvioitua julkaisua ja yhden vertaisarviointiin lähetetyn käsikirjoituksen. Tulokset osoittavat, että CD:t ovat vähentäneet virtaamia Zayandeh-Rudin patoon, kun taas AD:t ovat pääasiallinen syy virtaaman vähenemiseen ja vesistöjen kutistumiseen Iranin keskisellä tasangolla. Kostealla SCS-alueella AD:t ovat johtaneet Kaspianmereen laskevien virtaamien vähenemiseen. Sen sijaan kylmän ilmaston Tornionjoen valuma-alueella CD:t ovat lisänneet virtaamia. Tämä tutkimus korostaa tarvetta puuttua hydrologisiin muutoksiin maailmanlaajuisesti. Tehokkaat strategiat ovat välttämättömiä ihmistoiminnan ja ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutusten lieventämiseksi jokiekosysteemeissä. Tulevaisuudessa tulisi asettaa etusijalle ilmastonmuutokseen sopeutumiseen liittyvien strategioiden parantaminen, hyödyntämällä kehittynyttä kaukokartoitusta ja data analytiikkaa reaaliaikaiseen hydrologiseen seurantaan sekä investoiminen ekosysteemipohjaisiin ratkaisuihin luonnollisten prosessien palauttamiseksi ja sään ääri-ilmiöihin sopeutumiskyvyn parantamiseksi.

عملکرد پرسنل اورژانس پيش بيمارستاني در تحويل ايمن بيماران با تروماي سيستم عصبي شهر ايرانشهر در سال 97-1396
No full textBackground and Objectives: Prehospital care is the first and most important part of dealing with trauma patients that play an essential role in reducing mortality and improving these outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the emergency medical technicians' performance in securing delivery patients, including nervous system trauma in the city of Iranshahr during 2016-2017.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 2016-2017. A total of 139 prehospital emergency personnel in the Iranshahr participated in this study. Data collected through checking the mission sheet, interview with staff, observing and examining the patient's treatment procedures for the patient transferred to the emergency room. The data collection tools were researcher-made and included a demographic questionnaire and a checklist of staff performance evaluation, which use after psychometrics. Data analysis performed using descriptive and analytical statistical methods.
Results: The study results showed the average performance score was 17.32 ± 3.3. The highest mean score of performance in the field of interventions related to determining the type of trauma, assessment of first vital signs and level of consciousness 0.99 ± 0.10, and the lowest mean score of performance about interventions related to airway openness and cardiac arrest were 0.42 ± 0.19.
Conclusion: According to this study results, prehospital emergency personnel had low-performance levels in some care areas for nervous system trauma patients. As a result, holding continuous training and clinical courses can significantly reduce the weaknesses in prehospital care provided for trauma patients and improve clinical outcomes.

نتايج: براساس نتايج مطالعه، ميانگين نمره عملکرد پرسنل 3/3±32/17به دست آمد. بالاترين نمره ميانگين عملکرد در حيطه مداخلات مرتبط با تعيين نوع تروما، بررسي علائم حياتي اوليه و بررسي سطح هوشياري10/0±99/0 و کمترين ميانگين نمره عملکرد مربوط به مداخلات مرتبط با باز بودن راه هوايي و ايست قلبي19/0±42/0 بود.
نتيجه گيري: طبق نتايج اين پژوهش پرسنل اورژانس پيش بيمارستاني در برخي حيطه هاي مراقبت از بيماران با تروماي سيستم عصبي، از سطح عملکرد پاييني برخوردار بودند. در نتيجه برگزاري دوره هاي آموزشي و باليني مداوم مي تواند تا حدود زيادي نقايص موجود در مراقبت هاي پيش بيمارستاني ارايه شده براي بيماران ترومايي را کاهش داده و پيامدهاي باليني را در اين بيماران بهبود بخشد.

Protective and anti-inflammatory effects of silymarin on paraquat-induced nephrotoxicity in rats
No full textIntroduction: Paraquat is a quaternary nitrogen herbicide which induces kidney toxicity due to producing oxidative stress. We have investigated the potential protective effects of silymarin on paraquat-induced renal toxicity.
Methods: Twenty-four male rats were divided into three groups, group 1, control group; group 2, rats that received paraquat only (25 mg/kg b.w./day, po); animals in group 3, was treated with paraquat (25 mg/kg b.w./day, po) and silymarin (50 mg/kg b.w./day, po). Then, the serum and tissue parameters of the oxidative stress and renal histopathological changes were examined.
Results: In group 2 which received paraquat only, a remarkable increase (P<0.05) was observed in serum creatinine, urea, malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Also, there was a significant decrease in renal superoxide dismutase, catalase (CAT), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) and vitamin C in the second group. Oral administration of silymarin significantly decreased serum urea, creatinine, protein carbonyl, MDA, and TNF-α as well as renal histopathological changes.
Conclusion: The present study suggests that silymarin has anti-inflammatory and nephroprotective effects against nephrotoxicity caused by paraquat
