We have tried to invite prominent national and international scientists and experts to take part in the event and present their scientific theories in order to ensure the improvement of congress’ quality. Congress authorities are going to provide the participants with a peaceful, friendly and jolly environment, together with scientific initiatives, as the outcome of scientific research of the congress. Modern researches of clinical sciences are in the course of rapid development and our country has a significant role in this venture. Hence, the authorities have to make a fundamental planning in order to increase enthusiasms and motivations of this large and educated s tratum. We mus t not isolate the scientific elements, scientists and skilled and experienced experts by performing incorrect activities and mus t avoid emptying out the scientific channels by superficial approaches. Our effects within the past 16 years have been to create a scientific atmosphere for owners of clinical and medical sciences to present theories, to ensure that the scientific educated s tratum in our country will be reinforced and strengthened. 2 The 12th International & 17th National Congress on Quality Improvement in Clinical Laboratories April 18-21, 2019 Laboratory & Diagnosis Vol. 10, No 42, Supplement Issue Message of Congress Secretaries Dr. B.

  • Analyses of Maragheh Tile School One of the Most Effective Factors in Cultural Heritage Formation of Maragheh Architecture During Historical Periods
    WSEAS International Conference on CULTURAL HERITAGE AND TOURISM (CUHT'08), Heraklion, Crete Island, Greece, July 22-24, 2008 Analyses of Maragheh Tile School One of the Most Effective Factors in Cultural Heritage Formation of Maragheh Architecture during Historical Periods 1AHADOLLAH A'ZAMI, 2SEYYED HOSEIN YASREBI 1Department of Architecture, 2Department of Civil Engineering 1Islamic Azad University-Heris Branch, 2Islamic Azad University-Tabriz Branch Department of Architecture, Islamic Azad University-Heris Branch, Heris City, East Azarbaijan Province IRAN Abstract: - Regarding all remained tiles of tile decoration art, it could be said that Maragheh has been one of the most important center of this art during Ilkhanid times in Iran. There have been some well known and main centers of tile works in this period such as Kashan, Takht-e-Soleiman, Isfahan, Kerman and Soltaniyeh. But in decoration field with brick and tile, around sixteen kinds of tile scrape with extraordinary diversity are noticed in Maragheh observatory. As far as color is considered; blue, cerulean, white and black colors are used in Soltaniyeh and we have mostly turquoise and brown color in Maragheh. Investigation Maragheh observatory two very valuable tiles are found: 1. square sun-dries tiles with embossed intersecting spirals which have special colors and radiance in front of sun light and give special beauty to building. 2. Big sun dried tiles with inscriptions which are voted high among the tile of the period for their size, inscriptions and the kind of writing on them. As for the first kind tiles, it should be said that, not a one tile of this kind is found in other places of Maragheh or even other places other than Maragheh during Ilkhanid times.

(Head of Department) Signature Date CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the study Traditional wall painting is an old art practiced in many different parts of the world. This art form has existed since pre-historic times according to (Skira, 1950) and (Kissick, 1993). In Africa, cave paintings exist in many countries such as “Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Zimbabwe and South Africa”, (Wilcox, 1984). Traditional wall painting mostly by women can be found in many parts of Africa including Ghana, Southern Africa and Nigeria. These paintings are done mostly to enhance the appearance of the buildings and also serve other purposes as well. “Wall painting has been practiced in Northern Ghana for centuries after the collapse of the Songhai Empire,” (Ross and Cole, 1977).

    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.

PG College, Rajgarh 496551, Madhya Pradesh, India Email: [email protected] Received: 22 Apr 2016 Revised and Accepted: 20 June 2016 ABSTRACT Endophytic fungi that live asymptomatically inside the plant tissues have novel bioactive metabolites exhibiting a variety of biological activities, especially against cancer. This review highlights the research progress on the production of anticancer compounds by endophytic fungi from 1990- 2015. Anticancer activity is generally associated with the cytotoxicity of the compounds present in the endophytic fungi. The ubiquitous nature of endophytic fungi synthesise diverse chemicals with promising anticancer activity from either their original host or related species. Modification in fermentation parameters and genetic insight of endophytes may produce novel anti-cancerous compounds. Keywords: Cancer, Medicinal plants, Secondary metabolites © 2016 The Authors.

Received: 12 March 2017 Accepted: 5 October 2017 Abstract Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the environmental quality of rural tourism destinations in Ghalehroodkhan tourism area in Fooman County. Design/methodology/approach: This study was a descriptive-analytical one conducted via survey method. The population of the study included the tourists in the study area. As the total number of the population was not known, to determine the sample size, 380 questionnaires were distributed. Heckman test and factor analysis were used for data analysis. Findings: The results showed that the structural-performance factors, tourist attractions, and visual and environmental attractions were the factors that played an effective role in the environmental quality of rural tourism destinations. Factor analysis was used to assess the environmental quality of the rural tourism destinations of Ghalehroodkhan area. As a result of reduction of 47 variables, five factors were developed including leisure time, attractions, infrastructure, social and environmental factors, with the special values of 18.41, 17.26, 14.67, 11.83 and 9.78 respectively. Research limitations/implications: The high cost of the research and the time required to fill out the questionnaires, with regard to the extent of the study area, were among the main challenges facing the present study.
