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

A research about the real author of Marzbanname Tabari
No full textMarzbanname is the name of a book which includes narrations and allegories and marzban wrote it in old tabari language. Mohammad Ibn Ghazi maltivi in 598 A.H. and sadoddin varavini in the first half of seventh century translated it to farsi. Onsorolma' ali keykavos, the writer of Ghaboosname and Ibn Esfandyar, the writer of tarikhe – Tabarestam believe that marzban ibne Rostam ibne shervin (the 13th king of Bavandiya kiyosiye chain) in the real writer of marzbanname. But sa'daddin varavini believes that marzban ibne shervin (shervin = 5th king of Bavandiye kiyosiye) is the writer of it. Reza Gholi khane – hedayat knows marzban- Ibn – e – rostam as the outher of marzban-e-Deylami in some other books. Among the contemporaries, shefer knows marzban-ibn –e-rostam-ibn –e- sorkhab – ibn – e- Gharan as the author of marzban name, but Allame Ghazvini rejects this hierarchical order. Allame Dehkhoda, Esmaeil mahjouri, Ardeshir Barzegar and Hossein Eslami believe that marzban- ibn- e- Rostam wrote maezban name. mohammad Roshan reject all and say that there is no book named marzban name tabari.This article believes that varavini's speech about the writer of marzbanname is correct but not of onsorolma' ali keykavoos and ibne Esfandyar's speech
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
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

Silene thyrsiantha F. Jafari, Mirtadz. & Keshavarzi 2023, sp. nov.
No full textSilene thyrsiantha F.Jafari, Mirtadz. & Keshavarzi sp. nov. urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:77313980-1 Figs 1–3, 5, 6A‒C; Table 1 Diagnosis Silene thyrsiantha sp. nov. differs from S. parrowiana in having viscid stems (vs not viscid), a thyrsoid synflorescence with few flowers, secondary axes mainly with one flower (vs more than three), pedicel length ((4.5‒) 5‒16 mm vs 1‒4 mm), calyx length (8‒10 mm vs 7‒8 mm), and anthophore length (3 mm vs 2‒3 mm) (Table 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. Siphonomorpha) from Iran, pp. 42-61 in European Journal of Taxonomy 860 on pages 49-52, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2023.860.2049, http://zenodo.org/record/767439
WHAT ROLE DOES MEDIA LITERACY PLAY IN A CONTENT AREA CLASSROOM?
No full textThe purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore to get an understanding of a social studies teacher’s approach to media literacy including factors that inform her teaching and the students’ understanding of her instructional practices. The participants of the study were one social studies’ teacher and six students from her U.S. History and Advanced Placement History courses. In order to collect data, interviews, observations, and analysis of classroom documents were used. In addition, three activities were conducted to get an understanding of students’ performances on media construction and media deconstruction skills. In-vivo coding was used to analyze the data. Based on the findings, the teacher’s instructional practices included the use of a variety of different sources including primary and secondary sources. She also practiced media deconstruction and media construction by enhancing historical thinking and media literacy skills. In addition, preparing students for real life and a democratic citizenship were some of the key factors that informed her instructional practices. The findings also revealed that the there is a need for a unified and consistent form of instruction as the students’ responses to the created activities did not follow a unified pattern. The implications of the study is that attention should be given to the integration of media literacy in the classrooms and training teachers to be able to transfer the knowledge and understanding of it. In addition, teachers should be trained on how to both focus on conveying the depth of the content and covering a variety of different subject matters. Finally, training and professional development is needed for pre-service and in-service teachers to provide effective modeling and space for them to teach history as interpretation
