Abstract	Every year, thousands of tons of fruit wastes are produced worldwide while most of them remain unused and are released into the environment. Incorporation of these wastes to feedstuffs reduces competition between food and feed, and reduces environmental risks or methane yield in ruminants. Nevertheless, no comprehensive research was available on the nutritional properties of rinds of different fruits in small ruminant feeding. Hence, this research investigates the nutritional potential of some fruit's rinds (Kiwi, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Sweet lemon, Sour lemon, Banana, Mango, Orange, Apple, Peach, and Persimmon) by in vitro ruminal-microbial and standard laboratory methods. Persimmon rind had the higher total phenolic contents (TPC, 22 mg gallic acid equivalents/g dry matter: DM) than the other treatments (P < 0.0001). The ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and ash contents of banana rind were greater (P < 0.0001), however its DM, relative feed value (RFV), and non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC) were lower than the other treatments (P < 0.0001). A different range of minerals was observed among fruit rinds along with a higher content of potassium (42.5 g/kg DM) and manganese (49 mg/kg DM) in banana rind (P < 0.0001). Persimmon (45.7 ml/200 mg DM) and sweet lemon (75.7 ml/200 mg DM) rinds recorded the lowest and highest potential gas production, respectively (P < 0.0001). Persimmon exhibited a lower percentage of methane (11.5%) rather than other rinds (P < 0.0001). The total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) and metabolizable energy (ME) in sweet lemon, and dry matter digestibility (DMD) and organic matter digestibility (OMD) in tangerine were greater compared with other rinds. The rind of the banana exhibited the highest amounts of titratable acidity (283 mEq×10

Abstract	The Persian manna plant (Alhagi maurorum, PMP) is a species with drought-resistant characteristics and distribution from Asia to America which is widely used in traditional medicine. As a result of recent droughts, many ranchers have become interested in using this plant for feeding their livestock. According to our knowledge, no scientific study has been done regarding the silage quality of PMP with natural-microbial additives. Rumen fluid may also be used as a low-cost and novel-natural microbial additive for improvement in silage quality. Therefore, we planned two in vitro and in vivo experiments to investigate PMP silage. In the first experiment, we ensiled PMP with molasses (M: molasses, 3%, 6%, and 9% of DM) plus rumen fluid (RF: rumen fluid, 3%, 6%, and 9% of DM) for 60 days with the aim of investigation of nutritional characteristics and its silage potential by in vitro methods. In the second experiment, we investigated the nutritional value of the selected superior silage from the in vitro section for animal experiments. The growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and ruminal fermentation parameters of forty male lambs were evaluated for substitution of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% forage with M6 +RF6 silage in a completely randomized design. Some mineral-chemical composition and digestive-fermentative parameters changed with ensiling PMP. The lowest NDF and ADF were observed in M6 +RF6 (P < 0.0001). Higher lactic acid production, total volatile fatty acids, aerobic stability, acid-base buffering capacity, metabolizable energy, Flieg point, and lower butyric acid, ammonia nitrogen, and pH were observed in M6 +RF6 compared to the control. Among the treatments, the highest dry matter intake, average daily gain, final weight, nutrient digestibility, and total volatile fatty acids were observed in lambs fed on the control diet. In total, PMP can be ensiled with molasses and rumen fluid well. As a result of the in vitro tests, a better nutritional value was relatively observed in M6 +RF6. The in vivo test also showed that M6 +RF6 can be substituted up to about 26% of the dietary DM without adverse effects on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and ruminal fermentation parameters.

Abstract	The dietary effects of ensiled pomegranate by-products (EPB) with different levels of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, haematological parameters, carcase traits, and meat quality of fat-tail lambs were investigated in vivo. Thirty-two lambs were allocated to four experimental diets: containing: (1) diet without EPB as control, (2) diet containing EPB (EPB), (3) diet containing EPB with 5% PEG (EPB5%PEG) and (4) diet containing EPB with 10% PEG (EPB10%PEG). The nutrient digestibility, growth performance, internal organs, carcase traits, and chemical composition of Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) were unchanged between treatments (p > .05). However, a significant increase in fatty-acid profile of LTL (vaccenic acid, p = .04; C18:2 cis-9 cis12, p = .05; rumenic acid, p = .03; C18:2 trans-10 cis12, p = .02; alpha-linolenic acid, p = .01; punicic acid, p = .03 and total PUFA, p < .0001) was found in EPB-fed animals. The highest total antioxidant capacity (p = .001) and the lowest serum malondialdehyde concentration (p = .05) were observed in lambs fed EPB. The results indicated that dietary incorporation of EPB without PEG and its partial replacement with grains can improve animal health and meat fatty-acid profile without deleterious effects on growth performance.HIGHLIGHTSThe fat-tail lambs were fed with ensiled pomegranate by-products (EPB). EPB improved the fatty-acid profile of Longissimus thoracis et lumborum and total antioxidant capacity of serum. EPB can be partially replaced with cereals without deleterious effect on performance.

Abstract	Fewer studies in recent years have been conducted on the nutritional potential and fermentation quality of silage prepared from pomegranate leaves (PL). So, we investigated the nutritional-fermentation quality of PL before and after ensiling with or without yogurt containing mainly lactic acid-producing bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophiles) and molasses (at two levels of 2 and 4% of dry matter) in the polyethylene microsilos for 60 days. A range of dry matter (29.1-39.1%), crude protein (3.85-4.83%), ash (5.33-8.60%), and non-fiber carbohydrates (53.2%-58.6%) contents were observed among the treatments. A significant increase in calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, and zinc was observed in PL after ensiling compared to before ensiling (p < 0.05). The PL ensiled with 4% yogurt exhibited the highest ammonia nitrogen, lactic and acetic acids, but the lowest butyric acid among the ensiled PL (p < 0.05). The ensiling of PL without additive (control) significantly decreased potential gas production, dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, total volatile fatty acids, metabolizable energy, net energy for lactation, base-buffering capacity, titratable alkalinity, and acid-base buffering capacity compared to before ensiling (p < 0.05). According to the present results, the nutritional value of PL before ensiling was higher than after ensiling. The addition of yogurt and molasses to PL at the ensiling process especially at 4% of dry matter, improved the fermentation and nutritional characteristics. In general, the addition of yogurt or molasses as two cheap and available additives is recommended to improve the digestive-fermentation parameters of PL in silo and ruminal environments.

Abstract	Background: Research in source of inequality and enhance of knowledge can be reducing the inequalities in the coming decades. Therefore, we aimed to ascertain effects of income inequality measured by Gini-coefficient to death from suicide in Iran. Methods: This is an ecological study on the relation of Gini-coefficient and suicide death in Iran. Data were obtained from Iranian Urban and Rural Household Income for Gini-coefficient and Expenditure Survey and Iranian Forensic Medicine Organization for suicide. Concentration Index was used to determine of inequality by Gini-coefficient in suicide death and prediction model was applied by Stata software. Significant level considered less than 5%. Results: A Gini-coefficient between 0.2523 and 0.3755 (mean, 0.3092) was observed. The overall concentration index CI was -0.10 (95% CI= -0.19 to -0.01), therefore our results confirmed a positive inequality in incidence suicide rate result from income inequality in Iran. Conclusion: Our results showed a positive inequality due to Gini-coefficients in suicide death. This study could be a start for investigation of inequality source in geographical units and at the individual level in all provinces.

Abstract	This paper provides a feasibility study on a low cost system called Hydrokinetic Wells turbine for surface wave energy conversion without using plenum chambers. The elimination of the plenum chamber and its complicated valve systems can reduce the expenses of wave energy conversion up to 23%.The feasibility process were done for high and low frequency conditions. For the low frequency waves, we offer the 300 rpm angular velocity as an optimum selection for further studies. For the high frequency condition a reliable analytical approach based on validated methods was developed. The analytical results indicate that a wells turbine with 60 cm diameter could produce up to 1600 Watts power in high frequency waves. The efficiency and power coefficient values in high frequency condition are less in compared with low frequency situation, nevertheless the vast usage of the small scale and elimination of the plenum chambers can reduce the total cost of the conversion. The abundant availability of high frequency surface waves is a motivation for developing Hydrokinetic Wells turbine farms to harvest a great source of clean energy with lower cost levels.

Abstract	Aim: To determine the age- and sex-standardized prevalence and risk factors of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in the city of Ilam. Method: In this population-based cross-sectional study, 1,350 people were invited using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. Depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms were measured using the DASS-21 standard questionnaire. For data analysis, multiple ordinal logistic regression was used in Stata version 12 software. A significance level of 5% was considered. Results: The data of 1,431 people were analyzed. The age- and sex-standardized prevalence (95% CI) of severe depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms was 19.90% (17.64 to 22.16), 25.95% (23.48 to 28.43), and 15.75% (13.69 to 17.81), respectively. There was a positive association among depression symptoms with female sex (OR: 1.52; Conclusion: A significant proportion of Ilam's urban population suffers from mental disorders. Increasing people's awareness, establishing counseling centers, and improving infrastructure should be considered by mental health policymakers who work in the province.

Abstract	The accurate estimation of in vitro ruminal biohydrogenation (BH) kinetics of fatty acids (FA) allows for a more accurate understanding of their dynamics and develop targeted strategies to enhance desirable FA bypass. This study comprises a comprehensive evaluation of 33 nonlinear regression models to determine the most suitable model for accurately estimating the in vitro BH kinetics of individual FA. The data set utilized in the present research originates from a recent investigation on the effects of micronization and vitamin E on the in vitro ruminal BH of rapeseed. For the nonlinear regression analysis, data comprising FA concentrations (expressed as g FA/100 g FA) at the conclusion of 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h incubation periods were employed. The evaluation of nonlinear regression models focused on identifying the ideal model based on criteria including the highest
