Introduction The Ichneumonidae represents the largest family of 2005; Q oruh & Kolarov 2010). Some of the ichneu- Hymenoptera with 48 generally recognized subfami­ monids have been used successfully as biocontrol agents lies, 1579 genera and 24.281 described species (Yu et al. and given the largely undocumented fauna there is a huge 2012; Q oruh et al. 2014). The probable number of the potential for their use in managed biocontrol programs species is estimated to be more than 100000 species, and (G upta 1991). the number of known species increases rapidly in the Several studies on the fauna of Iranian Ichneumonidae world (Q oruh et al. 2014).

Despite efforts to prevent the spread of the disease, cases continue worldwide. In Iran, the disease usually occurs in children under 10 years. In the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment, the mortality rate is 95–100%. The main objective of this study was to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of visceral leishmaniasis as well as its correlation with climatic factors for determining high-risk areas in an endemic focus in northwestern Iran.

  • Identification Key to the Subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera)
    Identification key to the subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) Gavin Broad Dept. of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Notes on the key, February 2011 This key to ichneumonid subfamilies should be regarded as a test version and feedback will be much appreciated (emails to [email protected]). Many of the illustrations are provisional and more characters need to be illustrated, which is a work in progress. Many of the scanning electron micrographs were taken by Sondra Ward for Ian Gauld’s series of volumes on the Ichneumonidae of Costa Rica. Many of the line drawings are by Mike Fitton. I am grateful to Pelle Magnusson for the photographs of Brachycyrtus ornatus and for his suggestion as to where to include this subfamily in the key. Other illustrations are my own work. Morphological terminology mostly follows Fitton et al. (1988). A comprehensively illustrated list of morphological terms employed here is in development. In lateral views, the anterior (head) end of the wasp is to the left and in dorsal or ventral images, the anterior (head) end is uppermost. There are a few exceptions (indicated in figure legends) and these will rectified soon. Identifying ichneumonids Identifying ichneumonids can be a daunting process, with about 2,400 species in Britain and Ireland. These are currently classified into 32 subfamilies (there are a few more extralimitally). Rather few of these subfamilies are reconisable on the basis of simple morphological character states, rather, they tend to be reconisable on combinations of characters that occur convergently and in different permutations across various groups of ichneumonids.

  • Talish and the Talishis (The State of Research) Garnik
    TALISH AND THE TALISHIS (THE STATE OF RESEARCH) GARNIK ASATRIAN, HABIB BORJIAN YerevanState University Introduction The land of Talish (T alis, Tales, Talysh, Tolysh) is located in the south-west of the Caspian Sea, and generally stretches from south-east to north for more than 150 km., consisting of the Talish range, sup- plemented by a narrow coastal strip with a fertile soil and high rainfall, with dozens of narrow valleys, discharging into the Caspian or into the Enzeli lagoon. This terrain shapes the historical habitat of Talishis who have lived a nomadic life, moving along the mountainous streams. Two factors, the terrain and the language set apart Talish from its neighbours. The densely vegetated mountainous Talish con- trasts the lowlands of Gilan in the east and the dry steppe lands of Mughan in Azarbaijan (Aturpatakan) in the west. The northern Talish in the current Azerbaijan Republic includes the regions of Lenkoran (Pers. Lankoran), Astara (Pers. Astara), Lerik, Masally, and Yardymly. Linguistically, the Talishis speak a North Western Iranian dialect, yet different from Gilaki, which belongs to the same group. Formerly, the whole territory inhabited by Talishis was part of the Iranian Empire. In 1813, Russia annexed its greater part in the north, which since has successively been ruled by the Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, and since 1991 by the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan. The southern half of Talish, south of the Astara river, occupies the eastern part of the Persian province of Gilan. As little is known about the Talishis in pre-modern times, it is diffi- cult to establish the origins of the people (cf.

The spatiotemporal changes of LAI were assessed throughout Ardabil Province—a host of relevant plant communities within the critical ecoregion of a semi- arid climate. In a comparative study, novel data from Google Earth Engine (GEE) was tested against traditional ENVI measures to provide LAI estimations. Moreover, it is of important practical significance for institutional networks to quantitatively and accurately estimate LAI, at large areas in a short time, and using appropriate baseline vegetation indices. Therefore, LAI was characterized for ecoregions of Ardabil Province using remote sensing indices extracted from Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI), including the Enhanced Vegetation Index calculated in GEE (EVIG) and ENVI5.3 Citation: Andalibi, L.; Ghorbani, A.; software (EVIE), as well as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index estimated in ENVI5.3 software Moameri, M.; Hazbavi, Z.; Nothdurft, (NDVIE).

Abstract: Tourism is traveling for recreational, leisure, or business purposes, usually for a limited duration. Tourism is commonly associated with trans-national travel, but may also refer to travel to another location within the same country. Iran is world famous for kind hospitality, friendliness, and beautiful landscapes and villages. Beautiful historical areas, like Ardabil, have been visited by many foreign and domestic tourists. Therefore, the main purpose in this paper is to investigate the aspects of tourism in Ardabil from a sustainable and sociological view and also to study and introduce Ardabil's Tourist Attractions. The method in this paper is qualitative and also action research and tools of data collection are documental and interviewing research participants. It is worth mentioning that the present research, in its theoretical framework and data analysis, follows the Butler theory. Findings of the study show that Ardabil province has significant potentials for tourist attraction.

    Somi et al. BMC Public Health (2018) 18:1266 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-6119-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Cancer incidence in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran in 2015–2016: results of a population-based cancer registry Mohammad Hossein Somi1, Roya Dolatkhah2* , Sepideh Sepahi3, Mina Belalzadeh3, Jabraeil Sharbafi3, Leila Abdollahi3, Azin Nahvijou4, Saeed Nemati4, Reza Malekzadeh5 and Kazem Zendehdel4,6* Abstract Background: Few countries in the Middle East have a population-based cancer registry, despite a clear need for accurate cancer statistics in this region. We therefore established a registry in the East Azerbaijan province, the sixth largest province in northwestern Iran. Methods: We actively collected data from 20 counties, 62 cities, and 44 districts for the period between 20th March 2015 and 19th March 2016 (one Iranian solar year). The CanReg5 software was then used to estimate age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) per 100,000 for all cancers and different cancer types. Results: Data for 11,536 patients were identified, but we only analyzed data for 6655 cases after removing duplicates and non-residents. The ASR for all cancers, except non-melanoma skin cancer, was 167.1 per 100,000 males and 125.7 per 100,000 females. The most common cancers in men were stomach (ASR 29.7), colorectal (ASR 18.2), bladder (ASR 17.6), prostate (ASR 17.3), and lung (ASR 15.4) cancers; in women, they were breast (ASR 31.1), colorectal (ASR 13.7), stomach (13.3), thyroid (ASR 7.8), and esophageal (ASR 7.1) cancers. Both the death certificate rate (19.5%) and the microscopic verification rate (65%) indicated that the data for the cancer registry were of reasonable quality.
