Abstract

: The effects of lidocaine on water quality and some hematological parameters in simulated transportation of the fingerling common carp, was investigated. Dissolved oxygen and ammonia of the control group and 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05 ml/lit lidocaine treated groups were tested at 0 h, 1, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h and 5 h simulated transportation. For the hematological assessment, blood samples were collected from the caudal peduncle of fish in all of the treatments at the beginning and termination of the experiment. The results showed decreased oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion by the fish treated with lidocaine during the experiment. No significant differences in the hematological parameters were found in the levels of RBC, Hb, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC and WBC in all the groups (p<0.05).

Abstract

This article seeks to use the descriptive-analytical method and relying on the definitions of social modernism to address the issue of social innovation in the poetry of the two poets and what are the similarities and differences in each of the topics? The analysis of Baroudi's poetry suggests that he is taking advantage of the sophisticated taste as well as following the critics of the West to the affairs of the people and to correct the defects in society. Like Farrokhi Yazdi, he addresses issues such as central justice, homeland, despondency, attention to poverty, opposition to oppression and oppression, and invitation to studying science as one of the most important subjects of his poetry. The most important aspect of Baroudi's and Farrokhi's poetry's differences is that Farrokhi, as a responsible critic, deals more with the community and related issues, but in Baroudi's poetry, he makes imitation of modernization. However, with the advent of the Arab movement and the issue of exile, it is twisted within it and pursues a sharp eye and a sharp sensitivity to the social problems of its country.

Abstract

The Quran consists of endless wonders and beauty. Linguistic and literary aspects are the context for major of attractions and points of venerable in Quran. Part of this beauty presented in the verses that are largely similar together both from thematically and in terms of verbal and only in a few letters or words are different. Quranic scholars have mentioned this as similar words to avoid further confusion with the spiritual allegorical verses that is in the field of Quranic sciences. An attentive discussion about these verses is their translation to Persian. This is because their similar appearance is deceptive and without paying attention to the slight incompatibility in the words of these verses, similar understanding and therefore similar translations is presented. This leads to the faulty translation. This article, provided with descriptive approach and critical analysis, and considered cases of verbal singular allegorical verses, in particular different cases in terms of nouns, verbs or verb type, and in addition to analyzing the reasons for their similarities and differences, the provided translations of these verses, by the translators of the Qur'an:(Ayati, khorramshahi, Sha'rani, fuladvand, Qomshhay, Makarem Shirazi) has been investigated. Reviewing these translations proved that the implications of these verses, not translated correctly and firmly, in most cases. So the author has offered more accurate translations of these verses.

Abstract

Aims: Mycoplasma synoviae, as one of the main pathogens of birds, causes a lot of economic losses to the poultry industry. This study aimed to identify M. synoviae strains in clinical samples by PCR and culture methods.
Materials & Methods: A total of 135 samples were randomly collected from the respiratory tracts of female broilers in industrial poultry farms in Kerman, Iran during the first six months of 2016. Samples were cultured on Frey and PPLO broth media. Then PCR method was performed to identify Mycoplasma genus and synoviae species. Finally, multiplex PCR was performed to determine the prevalence of P1, P30, and P116 virulence genes.
Findings: In this study, 17 (32%) out of 53 poultry samples were positive for the presence of Mycoplasma genus by culture method, whereas according to the PCR results, 25 (47%) out of 53 samples were confirmed as Mycoplasma genus, among which 13 samples (25%) were identified as M. synoviae species. Among the strains confirmed as M. synoviae, the prevalence rate of P1, P30, and P116 genes was 7 (53.8%), 6 46.1%), and 5 (38.46%), respectively.
Conclusion: According to the PCR and culture methods results, the prevalence of M.  synoviae strains was high in industrial poultry farms, Kerman, Iran. The PCR results revealed a higher prevalence rate for this bacterium, suggesting that this method may be more reliable than culture method.

Abstract

The topic of Hyperbole has been taken into consideration in various sciences of Arabic language, but less has been taken into additional verb, especially in the Holy Qur'an. The abundance of Hyperbole in the Qur'an's additional verbs and the semantic delimitations of these sentences and the lack of sufficient attention by translators in translating them necessitates research and review of this subject. In the present research, through the descriptive-analytical method, the challenges of the concept of Hyperbole and its reversal in lower Quran additional verbs have been examined. The purpose of this research is to introduce these challenges and ultimately provide a more accurate translation of the Qur'an. According to the findings of this research, at least three major challenges in this regard can be identified: The multiplicity of meanings of third person verb and the glorification of more famous meanings, the interconnection of the two concepts of "plurality" and " Hyperbole", and mistake in identifying the subject of Hyperbole. Moreover, the study of sample verses in this study shows that the general Persian interpretations and translations have a weakness and inadequacy in the understanding and transference of the concept of Hyperbole of additional verbs in the Qur'an. In addition, the method of analyzing verses in this study reveals that it is not easy to distinguish between the implication of verbs on Hyperbole, and can not be understood solely by relying on the mere meaning of the terms and generalities contained in the mere books on this subject. Instead, it is necessary to interpret the text of the verses and analyze its space using the inner and outer metamorphosis in order to recognize the implication of Hyperbole in the additional verbs of the Qur'an.

Abstract

Physicians are more presumptuous than patients in verbal interaction. This study was conducted to measure the ratio of physicians’ and patients’ presumptuousness, and the role of gender in order to find an appropriate model for doctor-patient interaction. One hundred and one interviews in Mazandaran Medical Sciences hospitals were studied by using Stiles coding system. The physicians were 10.4 times more presumptuous than the patients. The most presumptuousness in the physicians was in physical examination, and in the patients, it was in conclusion. The least presumptuousness in physicians and in patients was in history taking and in physical examination, respectively. There was a meaningful difference in presumptuousness between men and women in the patients (P<0.05), while there was no meaningful difference between men and women in the physicians. Among the patients, rustics, low educated ones, and the elders were more presumptuous. When the gender of physicians and patients was different, the presumptuousness increased; however, the presumptuousness decreased when the gender was the same. We can conclude that the physicians were much more presumptuous than the patients. Their presumptuousness varied from the most in physical examination to the least in the history taking, because the physicians received information during the history taking and they listened more. In physical examination, the patients were in a special situation, sometimes unrobed. It strongly affected the presumptuousness. Presumptuousness had a direct relation with social class. Social class was the main factor when there was a gender difference, and it increased the physicians’ presumptuousness. The Results showed that in the patients, politeness in lower class decreased the presumptuousness. Knowing these factors can help physicians and patients to have an appropriate outcome

Abstract

The capital market is a bridge that transfers the savings of economic units with excess resources to investment units that need them. Using the capital market to finance the government expenses is among the most common form of financial transactions. Therefore the capital market is considered one of the major players of financing in the economy of any country. Iran’s capital market began its rapid development process in 2005 and within the past decade many financial institutes were formed by financing from the aforesaid market. Due to being new in Iran, the relation between the diverse and scattered components of the capital market has not been provided as a comprehensive model. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the structure and identify the aspects of financing services through Iran’s capital market that due to dynamic complexities of the issue (numerous players and interested parties, diverse and multiple aspects of services and conflict of interests between interested parties), soft systems methodology was used to study the current status. Therefore, in addition to performing triple analyses of cultural analysis and illustrating the rich picture of the current status, CATWOE analysis and root definition by holding numerous sessions with the interested parties were extracted that demonstrates how the financing process must be by including real world conditions. Results indicate that to improve the issue, changes in financing services processes must be implemented that emphasis on identifying and analyzing factors of market attraction, regulatory bodies and status of laws and regulations.

Abstract

 This article has studied the function of analysis levels in critical approach to discourse analysis according to Furlough's view inA Separation, by studying power, Culture and cultural believes inferring to the role and place of mythical texts such as holy book in discoursal solution. This article specifically studied the role of lying in disrupting relationships and conative norms and showed that sequential lies create an unsafe space that because of its intense consequences changes into a critical space.  In the bed of the movie, subjects try to solve the existing crisis, using cultural believes, antagonism and persuasion. In such atmosphere that subject's discoursal conflicts are loaded with the lack of power balance, the only scape from the crisis is returning to meta-myth, a meta-belief that cause the asthmatic atmosphere to be adjusted and peaceful. It clarifies the relationship between culture and myth with discourse resolution. The research method in this article is analytic and analysis units are sequences and in fact sentences or dialogues have been used in A Separation.

Abstract

Purpose: Evaluation of humoral and cellular immune responses of naturally infected dogs against type I (rCPB) (Recombinant cycsteine proteinase B), and II (rCPA) (Recombinant cycsteine proteinase A) recombinant cysteine proteinases and C-terminal extension (CTE) of Leishmania infantum (L. infantum). Materials and Methods: In this study, fourteen infected dogs (7 with symptoms, 7 asymptomatics) from an endemic area and three uninfected dogs from a nonendemic region were selected and their humoral and cellular responses against type I and II recombinant cysteine proteinases, C-terminal extension (CTE) and F/T of Leishmania infantum were evaluated using the ELISA and lymphocyte proliferation assay, respectively. The level of specific IgG isotypes (IgG1 and IgG2) and lymphocyte proliferative response against rCPA, rCPB, CTE and Freezed/Thawed lysate (F/T) of L. infantum were examined. Results and Discussion: The results showed that in both of the symptomatic and asymptomatic dogs there is a high lymphoproliferative response to F/T antigens and moderate responses were observed when rCPs (Recombinant cycsteine proteinase) (rCPA and rCPB) and CTE were used. The level of antibody (total IgG, IgG1 and IgG2) recognition toward rCPA was low in the both groups of the dogs. In contrast, the CTE stimulates similarly as the CPB both of the humoral and cellular responses of all the infected animals and the level of total IgG and IgG2 isotypes against these antigens compared to the IgG1 was higher in the asymptomatic dogs. Since, the CTE is the terminal fragment of the CPB, it seems that the immunogenicity of the CPB is dependent on the CTE. Conclusion: The results of our investigation indicates that the CPB and CTE stimulate both humoral and cellular immune responses of L. infantum infected dogs, wherase the CPA is a weaker immunogen.

Abstract

Given the significant number of allusions in cultural themes, recreating and matching them in target language is one of the challenges for translators. Translation theorists have proposed different ways to meet such challenges. Peter Newmark is one of the theorists who has proposed strategies for restoring cultural concepts by providing a five-fold division. The purpose of the present study is to identify the challenges that the translators of Nahj al-Balaghe face in finding the exact equivalent for cultural concepts. Researchers have attempted to explain the correct meaning of the metaphorical interpretation of "Haik Ibn Haik" in the nineteenth sermon, using a descriptive-analytical method and a critical approach. Therefore, while examining the meanings and the application of this interpretation in different narrations, five contemporary translations of Nahj al-Balaghah, by Fayz al-Islam, Shahidi, Faqihi, Dashti and Ansarian were selected, criticized and evaluated based on the Newmark model. The result of the research showed that in addition to the baselessness of some narrations in which the above-mentioned interpretation has been used, the cultural aspect of this ironic interpretation has been neglected by the translators. Also, they have not succeeded in transmitting the meaning and concept and the cultural connotation hidden in it by taking the above-mentioned interpretation, so they have provided many explanatory footnotes, and have misunderstood it. Concerning the historical books and glosses written on Nahj al-Balaghe and the familiarity with cultural context of this phrase “ablah nadan/ idiot” is a better choice.

Abstract

Aims: Chromium has destructive effects on the environment and various chemical methods have been investigated for removal of Cr (VI), but high cost and environmental problems have led to using biological methods to remove chromium. The aim of this study was to optimize adsorption process of Cr from aqueous solution, using biosynthesized palladium nanoparticles by Spirulina Platensis.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, palladium nanoparticles were synthesized, using Spirulina Platensis and examined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. During the process of adsorption of chromium, pH, contact time, initial Cr concentration, and adsorbent dosage to optimization were optimized. Adsorption isotherms for Chromium were also determined on palladium nanoparticles based on Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.
Findings: The extract of Spirulina Platensis had the ability to synthesize palladium nanoparticles. The maximum removal was obtained at pH=2, initial chromium concentration=0.1mg/l, contact time=20 minutes, and adsorbent dosage=0.5g/l, and the removal percentage varied from 68.9% to 98.1%. RL for palladium nanoparticles was in the range of 0.17 to 0.95, showing that Langmuir model was suitable for adsorbent.
Conclusion: Biosynthesized palladium nanoparticles by Spirulina Platensis high efficiency in removing chromium in aqueous solutions.

Abstract

The examination and critique of translation involve addressing various dimensions of translation, identifying its strengths and weaknesses, and presenting a new style that expands critical strategies and provides a basis for enhancing the quality of translation. Today, there are various theories for critiquing and evaluating translations, one of which is Joseph Malone's theory. Malone introduces strategies such as equivalence (substitution and matching), expansion and reduction, recombination (scattering and condensation), alternation (divergence and convergence), fresh arrangement or encryption, and bridging for translation. In this study, using a descriptive-analytical method, the translations of Arfaʻ, Ostad walī, Āyatī, and Barzī of selected vocabulary and combinations from the Holy Quran are critiqued and examined based on Joseph Malone's pattern. Since the structure of Quranic verses is created based on linguistic, cultural, social, and other criteria, the selected translations are amenable to critique and evaluation based on Malone's approach, which is based on the aforementioned criteria. The research findings indicate that divergence and convergence in different elements of style, emotion, and figurative language are the focus. In the divergence section, most translators, except for Arfaʻ, have determined a suitable equivalent for each interpretation and expression, taking into accounts these elements, and has attempted to create coherence, connection, and convergence of meanings between the original text and the translation. In the convergence section, Quranic expressions, in accordance with this rule, are not reflected in the translation of any of the translators.

Abstract

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an infectious agent of a large variety of birds, including chickens, which poses a real threat to the poultry industry. This virus is a member of the avian Paramyxoviridae. NDV is enveloped with membrane-embedded spikes consisting of glycosylated hemagglutinin (HN) and fusion (F) proteins. The mean death time after vNDV infection is 2-6 days, hence, the presence of preexisting antibodies prior to infection appears to be the most critical protection from this disease. Antibodies produced against the HN and F trans-membrane surface glycoproteins are able to neutralize NDV upon subsequent infection and inhibition of viral fusion with the host cell membrane, respectively. In this experimental study, the immunogenic epitopes of the F protein of NDV were designed artificially and were expressed in the heterologous system (Escherichia coli), using the appropriate vector (pET32a). In order to evaluate the immunogenicity of the recombinant f fragment, the protein was injected into the animal model. Immune response and the rise of specific antibodies titers were determined in immune sera. The results showed that immunization of mice with this recombinant protein could elicit significant serum IgG antibody up to 1/204800 titer. We show that the recombinant F protein was recognized by the mice sera immunized with the commercial vaccine. Moreover, the reactivity of vaccine strain virus with sera from F protein immunized mice suggested that the F protein is able to present similar epitopes with viral vaccine strain and hopefully could stimulate the immune system of the animal against the infectious viruses.

Abstract

Objective: Helicobacter pylori is a spiral, microaerophilic gram negative bacterium, that multiplies and causes infection in human gastric mucosal layer. H.pylori infection, followed by destruction of gastric epithelial tissue, leads to gastric chronic inflammation, which can cause gastric and peptic ulcers. New approaches have focused on using specific treatments, such as immunotherapy, to eradicate this infection. Urease, as one of the most important virulent and antigenic factors of the bacterium, is a suitable target for this purpose. This study is aimed at production of specific IgY against urease UreC subunit. Materials and Methods: In this study, initially for preparing recombinant UreC, after purification of the genomic DNA, ureC gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR product was ligated to pET28a. The recombinant protein was expressed followed by transformation of recombinant construct into E. coli BL21DE3. SDS-PAGE analysis was carried out and the recombinant protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The purified recombinant protein was injected to hens. IgY recovered from egg yolk, was purified by PEG precipitation at >70% purity. The purified IgY was analyzed by ELISA and SDS-PAGE. Results: SDS-PAGE analysis revealed a good expression and >70% purification of the recombinant protein. ELISA observation demonstrated high immunogenicity of the recombinant protein. Conclusion: With a view to higher potential of IgY-HpUc in recognition of UreC subunit, the results are in favour of the oral administration of the IgY obtained from hens immunized by H.pylori may provide a novel approach to the management of H.pylori infections.

Abstract

This paper examines the existence of β-Convergence between per-capita incomes of selected Islamic countries. For this purpose, data over the period 1965-2006 and a time series approach proposed by Vogelsang (1998) are applied. Robustness of the estimated parameters to the presence of unit roots and/or serial correlations in the residuals is the main advantage of this method. The results show that per-capita income of most countries is converging to the average per-capita income of the selected Islamic countries, which provide evidence of β-Convergence. Cameroon, Indonesia, Malaysia, Niger, Chad, and Togo are the countries that have shown some forms of divergence either before the break date or after that. The estimated break dates are clustered and mostly related to the energy shocks in 1974, 1979, and 1986.

Abstract

Ras signaling is an important intracellular signaling pathway that is key regulator of several aspects of normal cell growth and malignant transformation. The RAS gene family consists of three small G proteins; H-Ras, N-Ras, and K-Ras that play a central role in cell signaling for growth, proliferation, and migration. Mutation of the Ras oncogenes creates the malignant properties that are needed for cancer to grow and spread. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) that are encoded within the Ras genes might also have roles in cancer development. Here, novel microRNAs located in the human N-Ras gene were bioinformatically predicted. SSC profiler program was utilized to predict the stem-loop structures within the genomic area of interest. UCSC genome browser database was useed to analyze the conservation status of the putative miRNA and its precursor sequence. Furthermore, the N-Ras-miRs prediction was also performed by using MatureBayes online tool. In addition, RNAFOLD online software which applies the minimum-free energy (MFE) RNA structure prediction algorithm, was used for approximate prediction of the stem-loop structure. Our results demonstrate that N-Ras with about 5Kb length has some predicted miRNA stem-loop-like structures that have relatively conserved sequences. Overall, accumulative pieces of evidence indicated the presence of novel miRNAs encoded within the N-Ras oncogene.

Abstract


Background: Shigella and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli are among the most common causes of bacterial diarrhea, and no effective vaccine candidate for these bacteria have approved yet. Due to the role of IpaD protein and Shigella enterotoxin B subunit (StxB) in Shigella and E. coli O157: H7 pathogenicity, STX1B-IpaD chimeric protein can be used as a suitable molecule to produce a recombinant vaccine candidate. This study aimed to clone, express, and purify STX1B-IpaD chimeric protein to develop an effective vaccine candidate against Shigella and E. coli O157: H7 species. Materials and Methods: IpaD gene with NdeI and BamHI restriction enzyme sites was isolated from a recombinant vector and subcloned into the pET28a -STX1B expression vector. Vector was transferred to E.coli strain Rosetta (DE3) and confirmed by PCR and restriction enzyme digestion. SDS-PAGE and western blotting were used to confirm the recombinant protein. The recombinant STX1B-IpaD protein was purified by affinity chromatography, and its concentration was measured by the Bradford method. Results: The PCR and restriction enzyme digestion showed the accuracy of the gene cloning. The protein electrophoresis showed the proper expression and correct molecular weight (27 kDa) of STX1B-IpaD. The western blot analysis confirmed the recombinant protein. The recombinant protein concentration was estimated at more than 0.3 gr/L. Conclusion: An effective method for the production of recombinant proteins is codon optimization and effective expression in heterologous hosts. After the immunogenicity in the animal model, this recombinant protein can be used as a chimeric vaccine candidate against EHEC and Shigella bacteria.

Abstract

A part of management of solid waste related to site selection for healthy landfill. some method and technique delivered for site selecting. Among them analytic network process (ANP), a multi-criteria decision-making technique have some priority that can be a proper model for site selection because represents a framework with a bidirectional relationship. the ANP allows for complex interrelationships among decision levels and attributes. The ANP feedback approach replaces hierarchies with networks in which the relationships between levels are not easily represented as higher or lower, dominant or subordinate,direct or indirect. The elements of a cluster may influence some or all the elements of any other cluster.therefor. This paper addresses the problem of solid waste location selection using the analytic network process (ANP), a multi-criteria decision-making technique. The ANP technique enables us to consider both qualitative and quantitative criteria as well as the interdependencies and feedbacks. Selection of the appropriate landfill site is a complex problem and requires an extensive evaluation process considering the requirements of public sector, governmental, environmental objectives, etc. A number of criteria (social, environmental and technical) and their sub-criteria were considered for sitting a landfill on the Qucahn as the case study. The process of site selection was performed through some steps that will be discussed throughout the paper in detail. Finally, the suitable land units for landfill were selected.

Abstract

In this paper, elastic-plastic deformation of a rotating hollow FGM cylinder is analytically studied based on small strain theory and for plane-strain state. Variation of elasticity modulus, density and yield stress are assumed to obey power-law functions of radial coordinate. Material was assumed to obey Tresca yield criterion and its associated flow rule. To evaluate and validate the presented analysis, numerical results were compared with previously published results for homogeneous and also FGM cylinder with constant density and yield stress, as two special cases. Then the effect of density and yield stress variation, which was not considered in the previous researches, was investigated on the elastic-plastic deformation of the FGM rotating cylinder. The results show that when the variation of density and yield stress is ignored, considerable differences may arise not only in the magnitude of computed radial displacement and stress and strain components, but also in predicting the pattern of yield initiation and also plastic zone development.
