  • Afalleh: a Parthian Iron Foundry Site on Northern Slopes of Central Alborz
    Intl. J. Humanities (2015) Vol. 22 (2): (127-141) Afalleh: A Parthian Iron Foundry Site on Northern Slopes of Central Alborz Mohammad Ghamari Fatideh,1* Seyed Mehdi Mousavi Kouhpar 2 Received:2013/11/25 Accepted: 2015/3/16 Abstract The archaeological site of Afalleh is located in the north of Khachak village, in the intermountain plain of Kojour, in southern end of Nowshahr District, Mazandaran Province. Drawing on the available evidence, the site is dated to the Parthian period. Afalleh is clearly an archaeo- metallurgical center in the area, and by virtue of its relatively large size (more than 5 ha) might be one of the most significant and/or important archaeo- metallurgical sites of the Parthian period in the entire region. Large and dense scatters of slag and kiln wasters, especially in southern and western quadrants, hint at extensive and/or long-termed archaeo- metallurgical activities at the site. The surface slag could be divided into two groups of sponge and dense with a dark color near to black. Most slags are seen on southern part of the site. A stone building is partially exposed in western side of the site, where a dirt road has cut a part of the archaeological deposits. Macroscopic and microscopic analyses indicate that the slags are rich of fayalite and wustite, ferrous silicate and iron oxide minerals, respectively. Inside one of these slags a thick prill of iron is observed that has been largely replaced with secondary iron oxides. This observation indicates an indirect reduction of iron from its ore- producing carbonized iron (steel and cast iron)-and refers to its separation from silicate melt more probably outside of furnace.

  • Labor and Professional, and Social Protests During Jan 2019
    The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information ANHRI Program of freedom of expression of workers and social movements Labor and Social Protest Index during January 2019 Introduction January has witnessed no major protests, but in general we can say that the number of participants in the protests in most of the labor and professional protests was estimated by hundreds, or dozens, while individualism dominated the social mobility; at best the number of participants in the protests did not reach thousands, except in the case of solidarity with the Bar Association during the hearing to appeal the sentence of imprisonment for failure to implement a judicial ruling, and the failure to implement the provisions of registration of graduates of open education on the registration schedule of the union. In terms of the authorities' handling of the protests, labor protests were mostly dominated by negotiations, while social protests were mostly dominated by repression and intimidation, or even being ended automatically. The program monitored 47 protests during the month of January, including 11 labor and professional protests, and 36 social, summarized as follows: Labor and Professional, and Social protests during Jan 2019 23.40% 76.60% Labor and Professional 23.4% Social 76.6% I- Labor and Professional Protests: The program has monitored 11 labor and professional protests, distributed as follows: 1- Protests: 4 cases 2- Strike to work: 2 cases 3- Hunger strikes: 2 cases 4- Sit in: 2 cases 5- Threatening to protest: 1 case.

    Plate 1. Satellite mosaic of the River Nile delta in Egypt, compiled by Earth Satellite Corporation, using Landsat images from 1972 to 1990. The image records Cairo at the delta apex, vegetation (red), urban expansion (yellow), development of large sand dunes (pink), coastal erosion (especially of the two promontories), and formation of salt pans (white, far right). Reclamation projects are draining what is left of lagoons and marshes (green). The Sweet Water Canal (red) extends from the eastern delta margin to the Suez Canal. Conversion of desert to agriculture along the delta margins is shown in light blue. Further explanations are presented in the accompanying article. Photo provided by D.J.

During the past 7000 years world deltas , susu~_~if including the Nile, have been in an overall construction phase. However, the Nile delta has converted to a destruction =-+ +.LU phase during the past 150 years, triggered by water regulation which has disrupted the balance among sediment influx, erosive effects of coastal processes, and subside nce.

Einleitung Die Kenntnis der Scirtidenfauna des Iran ist nach wie vor sehr lückenhaft. Die Größe des Landes, die Vielfalt der Lebensräume und der Einfluss verschiedener Zentren der Paläarktis, wohl auch der Orientalischen und der Afrotropischen Region, lassen eine deutlich höhere Artenzahl als bisher bekannt erwarten. Bisher wurden im Iran 14 Arten aus 5 Gattungen nachgewiesen, zu denen jetzt zwei neue Arten hinzu kommen.

In this study, the list of Collembola from north forests of Iran, and collected information such as study site, until March 2019 are listed. At present, 107 species, belonging to 14 families and 51 genera are known from northern forests of Iran. Key words: Collembola, checklist, forest, Iran. 1. Introduction work on their fauna [6-22]. Here, authors provide an update to the list of Collembola from northern forests Hyrcanian forests are located in northern Iran and of Iran published from 2013 to 2019. Obviously, the mostly are composed of deciduous trees. The climate fauna of forests of Iran is unknown, this present study of south Caspian region is humid with most aims at contributing to close this gap of knowledge, precipitation occurring in autumn, winter and spring. concentrating the unique Hyrcanian forests and Soil and leaf litter in these forests are occupied by providing information on the fauna of Collembola in different soil-dwelling animals especially Collembola different soil layers and their seasonal variation.
