    Abstract: ... on the effect of flood water spreading in physical and chemical properties of soil in Imamzadeh Jafar-e ...

    Abstract Human have been thought to properly use soil and water to provide food and to prevent damages of floods in most parts of the world. Also in Iran the thought of using flood water by collecting and spreading it on the land as well as artificially recharging ground water have also been developed the same as other countries. Therefore in oreder to determine the effect of flood on fertility of soil, and also to prevent reciprocal probable harmfull effect of flood in the spreading areas, study on the effect(s) of flood water spreading seams to be essencial and imprative. Having this in the mind as a background, a study on the effect of flood water spreading in physical and chemical properties of soil in Imamzadeh Jafar-e- Ggchsaranregion, where a flood water spreading project have already been implemented, was conducted. During three years of study, soil samples were taken from 3 soil dephs including 0-15 , 15-30 and 30-45 cm of soil depth of first 3 bands of flood spreading network. The result of variance analysis of the data shows that, the effect of flood spreading on the increase of Clay , Magnisium, Potasium, Organic carbon, Saturating percent, Cation exchange capaaty (CEC) and on the decrease of Silt and Sand percent, exchangables sodium percentage (ESP) , exchangable Sodium (Ex, Na) and amount of total lime of soil in flood water spreading area in comparison to the control area, were significant at 1 to 5% confidence level. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that flood spreading can lead to significant positive changes on soil fertility as well as coasing to increase of Nitrogen, Chlorine , Nitrate , Sulphate and Bi -- carbonate of soil. But it should be noted that change in the last mention elements were not significant in the study area.

    Abstract Ochratoxin A (OTA) occurrence in cereals is a permanent challenge in human health. In recent years, some studies have focused on the role of yeasts as adsorbing tools to eliminate OTA. The aim of the current research was to study the effects of different variables including Saccharomyces cerevisiae amount and the fermentation temperature on the reduction of OTA during bread baking. For this purpose, the OTA was spiked to the flour and then the bread was prepared. OTA levels in flour, dough, and bread were measured by the high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector (HPLC‐FD). The results revealed that yeast level and fermentation temperature had a significant effect on OTA reduction. The increase of the amount of S. cerevisiae from 1% to 2% w/w and the fermentation temperature from 25ºC to 30ºC resulted in the increment of OTA reduction from 31.17% to 59.41%. During baking, OTA reduction was 19.21%. In general, the utilization of 2% w/w S. cerevisiae and the fermentation temperature of 35 ºC could reduce considerable amount of OTA in the wheat bread.

    Abstract This research explains the multiple barriers of women in rural villages in Southern Rembang, Indonesia. Beside economics and culture, they also face religious barriers in which religious learning and literacy are privileged to only certain people. Kajar is a village where Human Development Index is below the national level and women have dual roles as both domestic workers and family caretakers. Unfortunately, the poverty and lack of purpose in women’s education have limited women’s choices and voices. Through research-based on participation in making women agents of social-religious change, this research finds that women are robust agents for developing literacy based on langgar for their consistency and ability to influence their family, neighborhood, and society. The agencies of women are also going through making the langgar as ‘unofficial madrasa’ where children, both male, and female, are learning religious knowledge equally. Although the impact is not that instant, the agencies have slowly improved religious knowledge and perception of female religious education.

    Abstract Socioeconomic development is a complex process that requires significant resources and measures. The development of criminal law is built on a unique system designed to do justice within the legal framework. At the same time, the social and economic aspects of measuring the security of the situation in society should be taken into account. The main purpose is to form a model for improving criminal law, taking into account the socio-economic aspects of the security environment. The main scientific task is: to define and substantiate the socioeconomic aspects of the security environment; to substantiate the relationship between criminal law and the security environment; to determine directions for the development of criminal law and improvement of the justice system, taking into account the socioeconomic aspects of increasing security in society. The object of research is the system of criminal law. The research methodology is based on the method of structural modeling of the development of criminal law through the prism of security. The result of the article is a model for measuring criminal law in the framework of ensuring justice, taking into account the socio-economic aspects of the development of society. The innovativeness of the results obtained is presented in the form of a proposed methodological approach to ensuring the development of criminal law, taking into account the socio-economic aspects of security. The article provides for further research on the socio-economic aspects of the development of criminal law, which should be further analyzed and improved within the framework of this topic.

    Abstract This study deals with the political situation in Iran during the Safavid authority and the declaration of Shiism doctrine as the official state religion by Shah Ismael I (1501-1524). It presents how the Shiism was formed and strengthened, and also deals with the appearance of Shia religious men in the political and social fields from the declaration of the Safavid state until the end of their authority. Additionally, the religious changes and the relations of the Safavid rulers with religious men are investigated.The religious policy of Shah Tahmasp I (1524-1577) manifested in bringing a great number of scientists and Shia religious men from the Arab homeland to Iran. The Shah used those religious men in writing and publishing Shia jurisprudence books and expanding the Shiism. The fundamentals of Shiism was written during the reign of this Shah, and the authority of religious men reached the top. Besides, a great number of posts and religious titles were created at the reign of Shah Tahmasp. Another part of this study tackled the arrival of Ismael II (1576-1577) and his policy to weaken the authority of Shia religious men, and pay attention to the Sunni doctrine.Moreover, the study presented the religious policy of Shah Abbas the Great (1587-1622), who was the strongest Safavid Shah, and his attempt to remove the Qizal- Bash Sufis. He also reduced the political role of religious men and tried to establish a strong authority away from religious men. The authority of the religious men increased after Shah Abbas the Great, especially at the final reign of the Safavid authority at the reign of Hussein Al-Safawi (1694-1722). During that period, the Safavid state was completely controlled by religious men. At the reign of Shah Hussien, the Safavid authority became under the control of Mala (Mahmoud Baqir Majlisi) , who practiced a great deal of violence against other religions, especially the Sunni and Zaradashti religions.The degree and posts of religious men, their social position, class and their influence on the ...

    Abstract Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a unique clinical entity that falls under the broader umbrella of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps with type 2 inflammation. It is characterized by nasal polyposis, production of characteristic thick eosinophilic mucin, and expansile change of involved sinus cavities. The diagnosis is classically made using the Bent and Kuhn criteria. However, recent studies have indicated the lack of specificity of some major criteria. The need to fulfill all 5 criteria before diagnosing AFRS partially mitigates this but renders the criteria cumbersome to use, and highlights the need to develop more specific criteria. Our understanding of AFRS pathophysiology has advanced significantly and has helped elucidate the lack of histatins contributing to the inability to clear fungal spores, consequently leading to fungi-induced disruption of the epithelial barrier and stimulation of sinonasal epithelial cells. These trigger a cascade of type 2 inflammatory cytokines driven by both the adaptive and innate immune system. Although more research is needed, these findings could hypothetically point to a limited type 3 immune response at the sinus mucosa, resulting in a compensatory overstimulation of type 2 inflammatory processes. Treatment for AFRS remains centered on surgery and topical corticosteroids. Short courses of systemic corticosteroids may be used with caution, and fungal-specific immunotherapy and systemic antifungals are options in recalcitrant disease. Biologics show early promise, as we await data from randomized controlled trials under way. Finally, new insights into AFRS pathology provide opportunities for novel therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Cross-subspace alignment (CSA) codes are used in various private information retrieval (PIR) schemes (e.g., with secure storage) and in secure distributed batch matrix multiplication (SDBMM). Using a recently developed $N$-sum box abstraction of a quantum multiple-access channel (QMAC), we translate CSA schemes over classical multiple-access channels into efficient quantum CSA schemes over a QMAC, achieving maximal superdense coding gain. Because of the $N$-sum box abstraction, the underlying problem of coding to exploit quantum entanglements for CSA schemes, becomes conceptually equivalent to that of designing a channel matrix for a MIMO MAC subject to given structural constraints imposed by the $N$-sum box abstraction, such that the resulting MIMO MAC is able to implement the functionality of a CSA scheme (encoding/decoding) over-the-air. Applications include Quantum PIR with secure and MDS-coded storage, as well as Quantum SDBMM.

    Abstract There is contradictory evidence on the influence of handedness on depression and anxiety. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between handedness and rumination, which is robustly associated with both depression and anxiety. This study aimed to examine the influence of direction and consistency of handedness on rumination, considering four different classifications of handedness. The study sample included 406 participants (282 females) who attended an online survey and answered a demographic questionnaire, the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory, the Ruminative Response Scale, and the second edition of the Beck Depression Inventory. Considering four different classifications of handedness, a series of one-way ANOVAs was conducted to investigate any differences between the handedness groups. Besides, linear regression models were used to predict depression or rumination scores among the whole study sample, left-handers, and right-handers. Consistency of handedness predicted rumination among right-handers (but not left-handers), with a direct association between consistency and brooding/total rumination scores. Also, consistent left-handers and consistent right-handers showed higher brooding scores than inconsistent right-handers. Overall, the results supported the significant influence of both direction and consistency of handedness on individual differences in rumination and suggested consistent- and left-handedness as perpetuating factors for ruminative response style.

    Abstract Accurate and rapid plant disease detection is critical for enhancing long-term agricultural yield. Disease infection poses the most significant challenge in crop production, potentially leading to economic losses. Viruses, fungi, bacteria, and other infectious organisms can affect numerous plant parts, including roots, stems, and leaves. Traditional techniques for plant disease detection are time-consuming, require expertise, and are resource-intensive. Therefore, automated leaf disease diagnosis using artificial intelligence (AI) with Internet of Things (IoT) sensors methodologies are considered for the analysis and detection. This research examines four crop diseases: tomato, chilli, potato, and cucumber. It also highlights the most prevalent diseases and infections in these four types of vegetables, along with their symptoms. This review provides detailed predetermined steps to predict plant diseases using AI. Predetermined steps include image acquisition, preprocessing, segmentation, feature selection, and classification. Machine learning (ML) and deep understanding (DL) detection models are discussed. A comprehensive examination of various existing ML and DL-based studies to detect the disease of the following four crops is discussed, including the datasets used to evaluate these studies. We also provided the list of plant disease detection datasets. Finally, different ML and DL application problems are identified and discussed, along with future research prospects, by combining AI with IoT platforms like smart drones for field-based disease detection and monitoring. This work will help other practitioners in surveying different plant disease detection strategies and the limits of present systems.

    Abstract Product category management (PCM) plays a pivotal role in today’s large stores. PCM manages to answer questions such as assortment planning (AP) and shelf space allocation (SSA). AP problem seeks to determine a list of products and suppliers, while SSA problem tries to design the layout of the selected products in the available shelf space. These problems aim to maximize the retailer sales under different constraints, such as limited purchasing budget, limited space of classes for displaying the products, and having at least a certain number of suppliers. This paper makes an attempt to develop an integrated mathematical model to optimize integrated AP, SSA, and inventory control problem for the perishable products. The objective of the model is to maximize the sales and retail profit, considering the costs of supplier contracting/selecting and ordering, assortment planning, holding, and procurement cost. GAMS BARON solver is hired to solve the proposed model in small and medium scales. However, because the problem is NP-hard, an evolutionary genetic algorithm (GA), and an efficient local search vibration damping optimization (VDO) algorithm are proposed. A real case study is considered to evaluate the effectiveness and capabilities of the model. Besides, some test problems of different sizes are generated and solved by the proposed metaheuristic solvers to confirm the efficient performance of proposed algorithms in solving large-scale instances.
