Abstract Background: Infection with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is still a leading cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma around the world. Objectives: Having recently received reports of high HBV prevalence in the South Khorasan Province in the Esfandiar village, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HBV in this region in comparison to neighboring villages, with associations to risk factors. Methods: This was a cross sectional study that included the Esfandiar village and neighboring villages, Marghoub, and Zenowghan. All of the Esfandiar and certain neighboring villages were summoned and blood sampling was performed along with the comple- tion of a questionnaire. Positivity for HBsAg, anti-HBc along with the seromarkers of HCV and HDV were assayed using ELISA method. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software with chi-square tests, logistic regression, and risk-estimation analysis.

On the basis of the documents submitted, the application was nominated by the TO DO Award jury. From 6th to 15th November 2019, expert Klaus Betz travelled in Iran on behalf of the Institute for Tourism and Development (Studienkreis für Tourismus und Entwicklung e. V.) in order to evaluate Esfahk Historic Village on location. The village of Esfahk (also spelt Esfahak) with a population of 800 inhabitants is situated at an altitude of 1,100 m, along the national road 68, not far from the district capital of Tabas City in South Khorasan Province in the East of Iran. The small oasis village with its date palm grove and irrigated gardens and fields all around is situated in or rather on the edge of the Parvedeh salt desert/salt steppe, with the rocky “camel mountains“ at its back. Their highest elevation is the Jamal peak (”the beautiful one”, “the handsome one“), rising to an altitude of about 3,000 metres.

Les failles décrochantes ont un rôle principal dans la déformation du plateau iranien et dans l’accommodation de la convergence. Elles sont d’autre part responsables de plusieurs séismes majeurs à l’Est de l’Iran. Le rôle de la faille senestre décrochante et activement séismique de Dasht-e Bayaz qui est perpendiculaire aux mouvements du plateau, a été souvent débattu dans l’accommodation de la convergence d’Arabie-Eurasie.

Each paper has a reference number and is supplied with annotations, giving the localities and time of year where the bird observations had been made. These localities are also listed on a separate website (www.wesca.net/podoces/podoces.html), supplied with coordinates and the reference number. With help of these coordinates and the original publications an historical atlas of bird distribution in Iran can be made. A few preliminary examples of such maps are included. Many authors also collected bird specimens in Iran, either to support their identifications or in order to enravel subspecies taxonomy of the birds of Iran.

  • The Study of Chert Nodules in the Sardar Formation, Ozbak-Kuh Mountains (North Tabas)
    The 1 st International Applied Geological Congress, Department of Geology, Islamic Azad University - Mashad Branch, Iran, 26-28 April 2010 The study of chert nodules in the Sardar Formation, Ozbak-Kuh Mountains (North Tabas) *Khanehbad, M., Moussavi-Harami, R., Mahboubi, A., Nadjafi, M., and Mahmoudi-Gharaee, M.H. Department of Geology, Faculty of Sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze chert nodules in the Carboniferous sediments (Sardar Formation) in South of Ozbak-Kuh (North Tabas). In this area, cherts occur as irregular nodules in the bioclastic wackestone and packstone. These chert nodules are ovoid and bowl-shaped with clear lateral contacts. The color of nodular cherts is dark gray and black due to impurities such as organic matters and relic of carbonates. These cherts commonly contain relic component of other carbonate grains such as dolomite. The host rocks of all chert nodules in this study are biomicrite (skeletal wackestone and packstone). Dolomite rhombohedra are present within chert nodules but there is no evidences that the nodular cherts formed by the replacement of a dolomite precursor. Ghost of skeletal grains, such as crinoids, are preserved in the chert nodules and show diagenetic origin. Chert nodules have various forms but their longer dimension is parallel to bedding strikes. Based of petrographic studies, four fabric types are distinguished in silica including microcrystalline quartz, megaquartz (mosaic quartz), chalcedony overlay and spherulitic chalcedony. Key words: Chert nodules, Carboniferous, Ozbak-Kuh, Sardar Formation Introduction Chert is a hard, dense or compact siliceous rock, consisting of micro or cryptocrystalline quartz crystals that contain impurities such as carbonate, iron oxides and organic matters.
