Abstract: Heavy metals produced from man- made, industrial and municipal effluents causes pollution of rivers and existing fish that are there, consequently create significant health risks and significant economic costs for the residents of the region. In order to investigate the effect of these human activities on water resources, fish as well as welfare and well-being of humans, this study has been carried out from the ergonomic perspective. For this purpose, in 2018, samples were taken from 4 pools of Shaheed Ahmadi Fish Farming Center of Khorramshahr. The purpose of present study was to investigate and to evaluate the risk indicator of heavy metals including Cadmium, Lead, Iron, Manganese, copper and zinc in muscle of Cyprinus carpio cultured fish in Southern Karun. Using wet digestion method and by helping of atomic absorption device, Perkin Elmer 4100, the concentration of heavy metals was measured which comparing achieved results with international standards indicated the pollution of the studied species in the Karun River to Cadmium, Lead, Iron, Manganese and copper in comparison with According to WHO, FAO, NHMRC standards. According to average concentrations of heavy metals in breading fish, daily pollutant adsorption rates (DI) are measured, which were higher than universal standard rates USEPA and except cadmium and copper, other elements has a significant differences with USEPA rates ((P <0/05). Measured risk indicator rates were equal to the total of risk factors of existing heavy metals investigated in breading fish. The results of present study showed that although the amount of risk factors for each of the studied metals was less than 1, but risk indicator rate resulted of total 6 risk factors in muscle of breading fish is significant amount and There is considerable potential for this to be increased by measuring the risk factor of other heavy metals in the muscle, which can be a warning to threaten the health those people who is consume these fish, especially in vulnerable groups of society (children, women and the elderly). Pervious researches have shown that the green ergonomic approach can provide a deeper and more profound understanding regarding the stable relationship between human beings and ecology and human well-being, considering the general functioning of the socio-ecological system.

Abstract: Parquetina nigrescens (Asclepiadaceae) is a flowering plant used in traditional medicine as antioxidant and antimicrobial agent. Isolates were obtained and characterized using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques. The lipid component was characterized using Gas chromatography (GC) and gas – chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). β-sitosterol-β-o-glucoside and cardenolides: strophanthidin, 16-dehydrostrophanthidin, 17α-strophadogenin, convallatoxin, strophanthidol and nigrescigenin were obtained as pure solids while ethyl iso-allocholate, oleyl alcohol, palmitic acid, β-sitosterol, tremulone and 7-methyl-Z-tetradecen-1-ol acetate were the major compounds detected in the oil. The compounds were screened for urease, α-glucosidase and oxidation inhibitory activities. Only, 17α-strophadogenin, nigrescigenin and the lipid component showed significant activity in the three assays when activity was compared with thiourea, 1-deoxynojiromycin hydrochloride (DNJ) and butylatedhydroxyanisole (BHA) respectively. These results underscore the biological relevance of P. nigrescens in ethnomedicine.

Abstract: A 6-month semi-intensive mono-culture experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different tank colours /feed types on the production of Heterobranchus bidorsalis juveniles of average weight (0.68g±0.25g). Five culture tank with different colours made of plastic material, having the same surface area and volume were used. The fish were fed 45% protein of four different meals (coppens commercial floating pellets, Cyperus esculentus meal, Tamarindus indica meal and Digitaria exilis meal) at 10% body weight twice daily throughout the experimental period. Production parameters were used to determine growth (feed utilization) as well as survival rate with coppens feed producing the best overall results for growth. There was significant relationship (P < 0.05) in growth parameters of the fish in all the treatments. However, the best overall results were obtained in black tanks for all feed types compared to other tank colours as well as survival rate which has advantages for fish culture compared to other colours.

Immortality Research Literatures

Abstract: Immortality is eternal life, being exempt from death, unending existence. Some modern species may possess biological immortality. Certain scientists, futurists, and philosophers have theorized about the immortality of the human body, with some suggesting that human immortality may be achievable in the first few decades of the 21st century. Other advocates believe that life extension is a more achievable goal in the short term, with immortality awaiting further research breakthroughs. The absence of aging would provide humans with biological immortality, but not invulnerability to death by disease or physical trauma; although mind uploading could solve that issue if it proved possible. Whether the process of internal endoimmortality is delivered within the upcoming years depends chiefly on research (and in neuron research in the case of endoimmortality through an immortalized cell line) in the former view and perhaps is an awaited goal in the latter case. In religious contexts, immortality is often stated to be one of the promises of God (or other deities) to human beings who show goodness or else follow divine law. What form an unending human life would take, or whether an immaterial soul exists and possesses immortality, has been a major point of focus of religion, as well as the subject of speculation, fantasy, and debate.

Abstract: In continuation of our synthesis and investigation of bioactivities of Mannich bases, synthesized N - Mannich bases were evaluated for their urease inhibition and antioxidant properties. Characterization was achieved by Ultraviolet/visible (UV), Infrared (IR), Nuclear magnetic resonance (1HNMR) and Mass spectrophotometries. Elemental analysis, optical rotation (OR) and circular dichroism (CD) measurement also confirmed and provided information about the structure of these compounds. Synthesis of novel 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-triphenyl-3-(phenylamino) propan-1-one, 2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenyl-3-(phenylamino) propan-1-one, 2-hydroxy-3-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-1,2,3-triphenylpropan-1-one and 2-hydroxy-1,2,3-triphenyl-3-(p-tolylamino)propan-1-one are newly reported along with 3-(2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylideneamino)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trimethoxy phenyl) propan-1-one prepared by a variant approach involving use of tertiary amine. Jack bean Urease was used for Urease inhibition assay while in vitro antioxidant screening of the compounds was carried out using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). IC50 values obtained showed that the compounds showed significant activities as urease inhibitors and antioxidants when compared with Thiourea, Ascorbic acid and Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) used as standards in the two assays. Kinetics of inhibition of H. pylori urease by 1-Phenylaminomethyl-naphthalen-2-ol (GK1) and 2-(3-Phenylaminopropionyloxy)-benzoic acid (GK5) indicated that enzyme activity decreased as concentration of test compound increased. The IC50 value of 14.5 ± 0.71 mM (GK1) and 14.3± 0.32 (GK5) indicated better activity when compared to thiourea (21.6 ± 0.12) used as standard.

Abstract: This paper presents a five-level cascaded multilevel inverter controlled by means of an adaptive hysteresis band current controller for photovoltaic (PV) system. Due to increasing the number of levels, the proposed five-level cascaded multilevel inverter further reduces its THD. The solar array is simulated using MATLAB/Simscape software and it is integrated with DC-DC boost converter and single-phase five-level cascaded multilevel inverter controlled by the proposed control strategy. The simulation results show that the proposed controller provides constant switching frequency, reduced harmonics and can reach its steady state quickly compared to the conventional fixed hysteresis controller and standard PWM controller. Also, the proposed five-level cascaded multilevel inverter reduces THD of the output voltage and current. The proposed controller is also implemented Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA using the Atmel AT90USB2 USB controller on the Basys 2 development board. The simulation and experimental results describe and verify the current control technique for the multilevel inverter.

Abstract: Job satisfaction is a key factor influencing effectiveness, efficiency and also productivity. The objective of this study was to investigate Tehran University of Medical Sciences employees’ job satisfaction and prioritize the criteria for improving job satisfaction. Data were gathered on all units of hospitals, primary health centers, health facilities and colleges of Tehran University of Medical Sciences by a questionnaire. By using the Spearman test we found a negative correlation between overall job satisfaction and age (p = -0.157), and between overall job satisfaction and job experience (p = -0.325). Job dissatisfaction was found in 2 scopes: career development and compensation and benefits. This study gives the insight to develop the job satisfaction by calculating weights of each factor and prioritizing them. This model can be used by other countries.

Abstract: Abo Mohammad Elias Ben Youssef Nizami, is the great Iranian poet and scholar, in the thirteenth century AD. He lived in the Aran soil and land located along the Aras River to the Kor River. Nizamies name is tied up with "Khamseh" (Five Treasures) that shines in the chest of literature of Iran. Undoubtedly, among them "Khosrow and Shirin" is a specific luminosity. In fact, Nizami was the poet, alongside descriptions of attractive love, attempts of amative man for getting to enjoy, away by virtuous girl, wrath and reconciliations, the coquetries and needs... who was never far away from the thought of death and makes heroes’ pleasure story into a Tragic Tragedy by the death. With regard to the point that Nizami is a moralist poet, he never expresses a concept without a moral theme, and this question is raised in the mind that whether expression of death is Nizamie’s concern in the moral theme or not. This article will attempt to consider Nizamie’s Ethics perspective toward the manifest destiny of mankind.

Abstract: In this paper a range of methods for measuring the phonetic distance between dialectal variants are described. It concerns variants of methods as wordnet method and graded map analysis of linguistic levels. In addition, all features like simple (based on atomic characters) and complex (based on feature bundles) have been studied. The dialects were compared with each other directly and indirectly via a standard dialect. The results of comparison were classified by clustering and by training of a multidimensional map. The results were compared to well established scholarship in dialectology, yielding a calibration of the methods like information visualization technique. These results indicate that computational techniques are more sensitive in feature representations of dialects and such visualizations of information have good measures of phonetic overlap of feature bundles. The results of clustering give the sharper classification, but the graded map is a nice supplement. The findings show that Azari has composed of different regional groups which are relate to one ancestor which it might be the proto-Turkic language and it is not a group of languages.
