Iran. ABSTRACT. There is not a comprehensive cheklist on Halictidae family in Iran yet. In this survey, 1179 specimens of the Halictid bees collected from various area of Iran were examined. Among them, we found 78 species of Halictid bees as a major component of the Apoidea fauna in Iran. Herein, a list of the halictid bees, with localities name, geographical coordinations of localities, and number of male and female specimens is provided. Also, distribution of species in Iran, based on the material collected in this study and the worldwide distribution (where applicable) are presented. Five species are Received: recorded for the first time from following provinces, respectively: Lasioglossum 10 June, 2019 (Ctenonomia) vagans (Smith, 1857), from Sistan-o Baluchestan, Halictus Accepted: (Vestitohalictus) nasica Morawitz, 1876, from Isfahan and Sistan-o Baluchestan, 27 November, 2019 Halictus tetrazoinus (Klug, 1817) from Charmahal-o Bakhtiari, Halictus fatsensis Blüthgen, 1936, from Charmahal-o Bakhtiari, Halictus (Seladonia) fuscicollis Published: 04 December, 2019 Morawitz, 1876, from Sistan-o Baluchestan.

Introduction Bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Apiformes) Melittidae, Megachilidae and Apidae are one of the most diverse groups of insect (Michener, 2007). Halictidae is the second with approximately 20.000 described largest group of bees. Faunistic studies on species in the world (Michener, 2007; the pollinator bees of Iran are limited. Ascher & Pickering, 2015) Bees have an Ebmer 1978 reported nearly 180 species of especial importance for ecosystems. Almost Halictidae from northern Iran with 123 75% of agricultural production depends on new records to the Iranian fauna. The most pollination intensivity (Kirkitadze & important subfamilies are Halictinae and Japoshvili, 2015). Super family Apoidea is Nomiinae, which respectively including divided into seven families: Stenotritidae, 80% and 12% of the species, compared with Colletidae, Halictidae, Andrenidae, only 2% of the species in the Nomioidinae Corresponding author: Alireza Monfared, E-mail: [email protected] Copyright © 2019, Hosseini et al.

Methods: This study was conducted on neonates who were born from March 21, 2006 to March 20, 2011 and had undergone the congenital hypothyroidism (CH) screening program in counties affiliated to the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. CH was diagnosed in 958 patients who treated with levothyroxine. The incidence rates of permanent and temporary congenital hypothyroidism in Isfahan province were calculated and their distribution was shown on the map. The space maps were drawn using the ArcGIS software version 9.3. Results: Based on the data obtained from the screening program, the average incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in the province during the period of 2006–2011 was 2.40 infants per 1000 live births (including both PCH and TCH). The most common occurrence was in Ardestan County (10:1000) and the lowest overall incidence was observed in the Fereydounshahr county (1.39:1000). The incidence of PCH in the counties of Ardestan and Golpayegan had the highest rate in all years of study; and the greatest number of TCH cases in the five years were observed in Nain, Natanz, Khansar and Chadegan counties.

Totally, 2160 indigenous chickens were studied in this research. Tw o dominant climatic regions (cold and hot) were de- termined for Isfahan province. In each climate, two towns and three villages in each town were chosen. Chadegan and Khansar were considered as cold and Kashan as well as Varzane were considered as towns in hot climate. Furthermore, six families were determined as experimental units in each village (a total of 72 families). Primarily, thirty-six chicks and four roosters of 45 day-old ages were delivered to each family. Laying performance of the chicks was recorded during the laying period (21-72 weeks of age). The egg quality characteristics were recorded once every two months. The results showed that although climate af- fected egg production across 25-32 and 57-64 weeks of ages (P<0.05), it did not influence the average egg production during the entire laying period.

  • Short Communication Geographical Distribution of Scorpion Odontobuthus Doriae in Isfahan Province, Central Iran
    J Arthropod-Borne Dis, September 2017, 11(3): 433–440 R Dehghani and H Kassiri: Geographical … Short Communication Geographical Distribution of Scorpion Odontobuthus doriae in Isfahan Province, Central Iran Rouhullah Dehghani 1, *Hamid Kassiri 2 1Social Determinants of Health (SDH) Research Center, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran 2Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, School of Health, Ahvaz, Iran (Received 13 Sep 2016; accepted 21 Aug 2017) Abstract Background: Scorpions are among the world’s venomous arthropods, they sting humans every year, suffering pain- ful symptoms or losing their lives because of the venom. Odontobuthus doriae Thorell 1876 (Arachnida: Scorpi- onida: Buthidae) is a scorpion of medical importance and therefore its geographical distribution in Isfahan Province has been studied. Methods: This descriptive cross–sectional study was designed between Mar and Jun in 2012 and 2013 in Province of Isfahan, central Iran. Overall, 164 O. doriae scorpions were collected from their natural habitat by identifying the dug burrows. This arthropod’s burrows were identified based on the presence of tumuli, particularly between May and Jun at the sloping foothills of pristine embankments. The sampling data was categorized and compared. Results: The relative frequency of collected O. doriae for the counties was Mobarakeh (13.5%), Shahinshahre (11.5%), Borkhar (9%), Shahreza (7.5%), Kashan (7.5%), Naeen (6%), Natanz (5.5%), Isfahan (4.8%), Najafabad (4.8%), Aran and Bidgol (4.8%), Dehaghan (4.8%), Flavarjan (3.7%), Khomeinishahr (3.7%), Tiran (3.7%), Gol- payegan (3.7%), Ardestan (3.7%) and Lenjan (2.5%). No O. doriae was collected from other counties of the province.

For many centuries it has provided the basis for a rich and prosperous region based around the ancient city of Isfahan. Analysis of water supplies and demand over the past 50 years in the Zayandeh Rud basin indicates that despite large investments in water resources development, the basin remains just as vulnerable to drought as it always has been. During the period of analysis two trans-basin diversions and a storage reservoir have been constructed which have more or less doubled the annual supply of water to the basin. But with each water resource development, extractive capacity for irrigation, urban and industrial use has increased by the same amount, so that all new water is allocated as soon as it is available. The most recent developments, since 1980, have actually increased vulnerability to drought because extractive capacity is greater than average flow into the basin. Whenever demand exceeds supply all water is extracted from the basin and the tail end dries up. During the past 50 years flows into the salt pan at the downstream end of the basin have been negligible for more than half the time.

    DOI: Published by http://dx.doi.org/10.22122/arya.v15i6.1715 Vesnu Publications This is an open an is This Water hardness zoning of Isfahan Province, Iran, and its relationship with cardiovascular mortality, 2013-2015 - access article distributed under the terms of the of the terms the under distributed article access Fereshte Hossienifar(1) , Mozhgan Entezari(2), Shidokht Hosseini(3) Original Article Abstract BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the common diseases and today, it is considered as not only an important cause of mortality but also a significant aspect of health geography. The evidence presented in the literature indicates that hard water may reduce the cases of sudden death caused by CVDs because drinking water contains significant amounts of calcium and magnesium, which play a crucial role in the electrical activity of heart. Hence, the present study aimed at investigating the relationship between water hardness and CVD mortality rate in Isfahan, Iran. METHODS: In this ecological study, the available data regarding the cardiovascular mortality rate and water hardness have been used. Preparation of zoning map has been conducted using the Attribution Commons Creative Geographic Information System (GIS) software considering Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation models. Moreover, statistical analysis has been conducted using SPSS software. any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. properly is work original the provided any medium, RESULTS: A reverse relationship was observed between cardiovascular mortality rate and water hardness. However, the observed relationship was not statistically significant (2013: r = -0.066, 2014: r = -0.155, 2015: r = -0.051, P > 0.050).
