  • Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960S and 1970S
    Podoces, 2008, 3(1/2): 1–30 Rare Birds in Iran in the Late 1960s and 1970s DEREK A. SCOTT Castletownbere Post Office, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland. Email: [email protected] Received 26 July 2008; accepted 14 September 2008 Abstract: The 12-year period from 1967 to 1978 was a period of intense ornithological activity in Iran. The Ornithology Unit in the Department of the Environment carried out numerous surveys throughout the country; several important international ornithological expeditions visited Iran and subsequently published their findings, and a number of resident and visiting bird-watchers kept detailed records of their observations and submitted these to the Ornithology Unit. These activities added greatly to our knowledge of the status and distribution of birds in Iran, and produced many records of birds which had rarely if ever been recorded in Iran before. This paper gives details of all records known to the author of 92 species that were recorded as rarities in Iran during the 12-year period under review. These include 18 species that had not previously been recorded in Iran, a further 67 species that were recorded on fewer than 13 occasions, and seven slightly commoner species for which there were very few records prior to 1967. All records of four distinctive subspecies are also included. The 29 species that were known from Iran prior to 1967 but not recorded during the period under review are listed in an Appendix. Keywords: Rare birds, rarities, 1970s, status, distribution, Iran. INTRODUCTION Eftekhar, E. Kahrom and J. Mansoori, several of whom quickly became keen ornithologists.

  • Trade and Cultural Contacts Between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf During Parthians and Sasanians: a Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island
    Intl. J. Humanities (2011) Vol. 18 (2): (89-115) Trade and Cultural Contacts between Northern and Southern Persian Gulf during Parthians and Sasanians: A Study Based on Pottery from Qeshm Island Alireza Hojabri-Nobari 1, Alireza Khosrowzadeh 2, Seyed Mehdi Mousavi Kouhpar 3, Hamed Vahdatinasab 4 Received:21/9/2011 Accepted:3/1/2011 Abstract The first season of survey at Qeshm, carried out during the winter of 2006, resulted in the identification of nine sites from the Parthian and Sasanian periods. The surface pottery from these sites suggests their trade and cultural relations with contemporary sites in the southern Persian Gulf and other areas. For instance, the Parthian and Sasanian glazed types in Qeshm Island are closely related materials found from Khuzestan as well as northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf, including ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush, Failaka and Qalat Bahrain. Parthian painted ware reveals close similarities to monochrome and bichrome painted pottery of southeastern Iran, Oman coasts and the southern Persian Gulf, specifically ed-Dur, Suhar, Kush and Tel-i-Abrak. The so-called Indian Red Polished Ware is the other diagnostic type widespread in the northern and southern coasts of the Persian Gulf from the middle Parthian up to the Downloaded from eijh.modares.ac.ir at 11:47 IRDT on Monday August 31st 2020 early Islamic period. The material was being widely produced in the Indian region (Gujarat) and Indus, and exported to different places around the Persian Gulf. The Coarse Black Ware ( ceramic noir epaise ) with decorative raised bands recorded in Qeshm compares with coarse-black material from the southern Persian Gulf, also occurring at sites such as ed-Dur and Abu Dhabi Islands.

Islamic Azad University, Shiraz Branch, Shiraz, Iran. 3. Lar Consultant, Tehran, Iran. 4. Department of Geology, Faculty of basic science, Shahid Bahonar University, Kerman, Iran Received 4 February 2008; accepted: 8 September 2009 Abstract The most enigmatic problems with the nearly 200 salt domes pierced in the Persian Gulf and in the Zagros Mountain Ranges (ZMR) in southern Iran, a unique morphology in the world, have been the matter of this study, which is based on a combination of field work, enhancement of satellite and aerial photographs etc. In the ZMR, structural anomalies are frequently associated with similar facies distribution patterns. In the eastern portion of the region, emergent salt plugs of Infra-Cambrian age exhibit the same alignment patterns. Such trends bear no apparent genetic relationship to the Tertiary folding responsible for the present Zagros fold belt, but rather indicate their affinity with linear basement features which are readily observable on Land sat imagery and aerial photographs. Bending of anticlines in the competent cover rock, combined with minor strike-slip faults and horizontal displacements of parts of folded structures, strongly point to the presence of these basement faults.

Academic Editor: Tan Yigitcanlar Received: 22 December 2014 / Accepted: 3 February 2015 / Published: 11 February 2015 Abstract: The social dimension of the transition to a low carbon economy is a key challenge to cities. The establishment of local energy initiatives (LEIs) has recently been attracting attention. It is of great importance to draw lessons from best practices when LEIs have been facilitated by local governments and made a substantial contribution to greening local energy systems. The main research questions in this paper are: What lessons can be drawn from successful local low carbon energy transition cases, and which strategies proved successful to support LEIs? We have used analytical notions from the Strategic Niche Management (SNM) and grassroots innovation literature to analyze two best-practice cases: Saerbeck (Germany) and Lochem (The Netherlands).

  • Paradiplomacy and the Management of the Amazon in the Brazilian Federalism
    http://dx.doi.org/10.18623/rvd.v17i39.1771 PARADIPLOMACY AND THE MANAGEMENT OF THE AMAZON IN THE BRAZILIAN FEDERALISM Eliana Maria de Souza Franco Teixeira1 Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) Patrícia Kristiana Blagitz Cichovski2 Centro Universitário Metropolitano da Amazônia (UNIFAMAZ) ABSTRACT The criteria for allocating Amazon Fund’s resources have been redefined, leading donor foreign states to block the transfer of resources to that Fund. This generated much speculation and a series of economic embarrassments for Amazon state governments, as well as a malaise among Western coun- tries with regard to sustainable development. In this study, thus, we ad- dress the following problem: what are the Legal Amazon states’ options, considering the particularities of the Brazilian federalism, for keeping in- vestments and management focused on mitigating illegal deforestation and degradation, the sustainable development and the security in their Amazon territories? Thus, the aim of this article is to provide a reinterpretation of Brazilian federalism, assessing the possibilities of international action by Amazon state governments to maintain foreign investments for the purpos- es of preservation, security and sustainable development of the Brazilian Legal Amazon. The methodology used was hypothetical-deductive, and our research hypothesis was ratified. In other words, the Amazon states can exercise paradiplomacy through the Legal Amazon Consortium. Questions about this position should be dispelled when the Constitution is amended to expressly recognize the exercise of paradiplomacy. Keywords: Amazon rainforest; consortium; environment; federalism; paradiplomacy. 1 Doctoral researcher in Law from UFPA. Master in Constitutional Law from the Universidade da Amazônia (UNAMA).
