PROTESTS and REGIME SUPPRESSION in POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar
THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY n OCTOBER 2020 n PN85 PROTESTS AND REGIME SUPPRESSION IN POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN Saeid Golkar Green Movement members tangle with Basij and police forces, 2009. he nationwide protests that engulfed Iran in late 2019 were ostensibly a response to a 50 percent gasoline price hike enacted by the administration of President Hassan Rouhani.1 But in little time, complaints Textended to a broader critique of the leadership. Moreover, beyond the specific reasons for the protests, they appeared to reveal a deeper reality about Iran, both before and since the 1979 emergence of the Islamic Republic: its character as an inherently “revolutionary country” and a “movement society.”2 Since its formation, the Islamic Republic has seen multiple cycles of protest and revolt, ranging from ethnic movements in the early 1980s to urban riots in the early 1990s, student unrest spanning 1999–2003, the Green Movement response to the 2009 election, and upheaval in December 2017–January 2018. The last of these instances, like the current round, began with a focus on economic dissatisfaction and then spread to broader issues. All these movements were put down by the regime with characteristic brutality. © 2020 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. SAEID GOLKAR In tracking and comparing protest dynamics and market deregulation, currency devaluation, and the regime responses since 1979, this study reveals that cutting of subsidies. These policies, however, spurred unrest has become more significant in scale, as well massive inflation, greater inequality, and a spate of as more secularized and violent. -

Agroclimatic Zones Map of Iran Explanatory Notes
AGROCLIMATIC ZONES MAP OF IRAN EXPLANATORY NOTES E. De Pauw1, A. Ghaffari2, V. Ghasemi3 1 Agroclimatologist/ Research Project Manager, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo Syria 2 Director-General, Drylands Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Maragheh, Iran 3 Head of GIS/RS Department, Soil and Water Research Institute (SWRI), Tehran, Iran INTRODUCTION The agroclimatic zones map of Iran has been produced to as one of the outputs of the joint DARI-ICARDA project “Agroecological Zoning of Iran”. The objective of this project is to develop an agroecological zones framework for targeting germplasm to specific environments, formulating land use and land management recommendations, and assisting development planning. In view of the very diverse climates in this part of Iran, an agroclimatic zones map is of vital importance to achieve this objective. METHODOLOGY Spatial interpolation A database was established of point climatic data covering monthly averages of precipitation and temperature for the main stations in Iran, covering the period 1973-1998 (Appendix 1, Tables 2-3). These quality-controlled data were obtained from the Organization of Meteorology, based in Tehran. From Iran 126 stations were accepted with a precipitation record length of at least 20 years, and 590 stations with a temperature record length of at least 5 years. The database also included some precipitation and temperature data from neighboring countries, leading to a total database of 244 precipitation stations and 627 temperature stations. The ‘thin-plate smoothing spline’ method of Hutchinson (1995), as implemented in the ANUSPLIN software (Hutchinson, 2000), was used to convert this point database into ‘climate surfaces’. -

However, salinization of are major impediments to the optimal land and water resources has become a utilization of crop production systems serious threat to efficient use of these in many arid and semi-arid regions of invaluable resources. It is estimated the world, including Iran (Alizadeh et that out of the total 6.7 Mha of the al. 2004; Moghaddam and Koocheki province, 1.2-1.5 Mha (18-22% of total 2004).

Study on Geomorphologic Dynamics of Limestone-Shale Collapse in The
The 1 st International Applied Geological Congress, Department of Geology, Islamic Azad University - Mashad Branch, Iran, 26-28 April 2010 Study on geomorphology dynamics of limestone-shale collapse in the Kollah-Ghazy Area, south Esfahan, Iran A.Vali,R.Ghazavi,R.Ghasemi, A.behpouri Faculty members in agriculture and Natural Resources College of Darab.Shiraz University. Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The focus of geomorphology is concerned with an analysis of the nature, arrangement and differentiation of landforms and an understanding of the processes that have shaped or are shaping those landforms. Uplift at the end of Cretaceous and beginning of the Tertiary created asymmetric domes. Foresets of limestone and shale in stratigraphic units of Shear folding area to Cretaceous in the Kollah-Ghazy of south and south-east of Esfahan have resulted in many collapse features that have developed several shapes like cuesta. Erosion of these uplifted rocks produced the present landscape .resistant sandstone that are ordered near the shale layer has been formed the cuesta like form .Results of morphology showed in spite of these forms lay in folded structure, they have any characteristics that they have contained in monoclimb structures such as foresets of hard and weak layers with temperate slope in construction simple and agreeable limb. In this paper we have tried to investigate the relationship between slope particulars and speed of destruction and layer dynamics, with measuring some geomorphology quantitative parameters. Analysis of regression showed a significant relationship between slope of weak layers with slope and thickness of hard layers. Also the slope of weak layer desire to angle of repose because of weathering effects, gravity and friction forces. -

ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives: Nearly two-thousand scorpion species have been identified worldwide, twenty-five of which have health importance. Each year approximately half a million individuals are stung by scorpions in the world with a fatality rate of 3250 people. In Iran, there are nearly 40000 cases in a year and the numbers of recorded deaths are between 14-29 people. Scorpionism is one of the most significant medical subjects in Iran especially in the southern areas; so that Khuzestan Province is one of the most significant foci of scorpionism. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics of the individuals stung by scorpions in Khorramshahr region, Khuzestan province, Southwestern Iran. Materials and Methods: In this analytic descriptive study, all patients with scorpion sting were assessed from 2013 to 2017. Data regarding the patient's age, gender, site of the sting, month of envenomation, administration of scorpion antivenin, time of the sting, geographical area, and the color of scorpion were extracted and recorded. -
