It is well-documented that standard amounts of fluoride in drinking- water can decrease the rate of dental caries. This study was conducted with the aim of measuring fluoride concentration of drinking-water supplies and urban distribution system in Qom, Iran. Materials and Methods: Results were subsequently compared against national and international standards. All sources of drinking-water of rural and urban areas were examined. To measure fluoride, the standard SPADNS method and a DR/4000s spectrophotometer were used . Results: Results showed that the mean of fluoride concentration in rural areas, mainly supplied with groundwater sources, was 0.41 mg/L, that of the urban distribution system 0.82 mg/L, that of Ali-Abad station 0.11 mg/L, and that of the private water desalination system 0.24 mg/L.

    THE SOCIETY FOR ASIAN ART PRESENTS Through the Pishtaq: Art, Architecture and Culture of Persia APRIL 22 - MAY 9, 2018 More than five hundred years before Christ, Cyrus the Great founded one of the world’s first empires at Pasargadae. Over the centuries Persian civilization has been impacted by diverse cultural influences from invading Greeks, Arabs, Mongols and Turks. Join Dr. Keelan Overton on a journey through Iran where impressive monuments serve as vivid testament to the extraordinary history and culture of the country. The name Persia, used by the ancient Greeks, is derived from the southwesterly province of Pars which was the cradle of the Persian Empire. It was here that the Achaemenids became the first kings of a united country. They built capitals at Pasargadae and Persepolis and ruled over territory which stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea and from China in the east to the Mediterranean shores in the west. It is a welcoming and beautiful country of contrasts, of jagged mountains and golden deserts punctuated by slender wind towers, crumbling clay-baked caravansaries, and everywhere a horizon pierced by mosques and turquoise minarets. ----------------------------------Tour Highlights -------------------------------------- Tehran– 3 nights Visit Jameh Atigh, 9th c.

  • Chronology of Events in Iran, February 2002*
    Chronology of Events in Iran, February 2002* February 3 Hadi Hashemi bailed out. (Agence France Press / AFP) A clergyman close to Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri was released under bail. Hadi Hashemi, Montazeri's son-in-law, was arrested in July 2001 with several other clergymen in the holy city of Qom. He was authorized "to leave only for a few weeks" but "he did not return to prison". The cleric is the brother of Mehdi Hashemi, a pro- Montazeri activist who was executed in 1986 after being sentenced to death for "plotting against the Islamic regime". Hadi Hashemi was arrested in July 2001 on an order by the Special Court for Clergy (SCC), which only deals with charges against clerics. At least seven other clerics, including Ayatollah Montazeri's son, Said, were arrested by SCC on the charge of "acts against national security". Said Montazeri was released in the summer of 2001 after being accused of circulating a report on the 1998 murders of dissidents, which led to three members of Iran's intelligence services being sentenced to death. The dissident Ayatollah Montazeri, once tipped to succeed Imam Khomeini as the country's supreme leader and later disgraced in a power struggle shortly before the latter's death in 1989, is placed under house arrest and banned from any contact with the press. President Mohammad Khatami's pro-reform camp has repeatedly called for lifting restrictions on the 80-year-old cleric. Reformists intimidated in Hormozgan Province (Iranian newspaper Norooz) The Islamic Iran Participation Front of Hormozgan Province has released a statement about the cases of assault and psychological harassment against the front's members by a number of unidentified individuals.

This investigation assessed the presence of E. multilocularis infection in definitive hosts in the Chenaran region of Razavi Khorasan Province, northeastern Iran. Methodology/Principal Findings: Fecal samples from 77 domestic and stray dogs and 14 wild carnivores were examined using the flotation/sieving method followed by multiplex PCR of mitochondrial genes. The intestinal scraping technique (IST) and the sedimentation and counting technique (SCT) revealed adult Echinococcus in the intestines of five of 10 jackals and of the single wolf examined. Three jackals were infected only with E. multilocularis but two, and the wolf, were infected with both E. multilocularis and E. granulosus. Multiplex PCR revealed E. multilocularis, E. granulosus, and Taenia spp. in 19, 24, and 28 fecal samples, respectively. Echinococcus multilocularis infection was detected in the feces of all wild carnivores sampled including nine jackals, three foxes, one wolf, one hyena, and five dogs (6.5%).

    J. Appl. Environ. Biol. Sci. , 5(8S )136-138, 2015 ISSN: 2090-4274 Journal of Applied Environmental © 2015, TextRoad Publication and Biological Sciences www.textroad.com Effective Factors on Rural Emigration in Golmakan Rural District, Chenaran County Mahdi Jahani 1, Abolfazl Vatandoust 2 1,2 Department of Geography, Mashhad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Mashhad, Iran Received: March 8, 2015 Accepted: May 10, 2015 ABSTRACT Rural-urban emigrations have always been attended to by scholars in various disciplines. Rural emigrations have caused numerous problems in the origin and destination in Iran during recent decades. The final result of these emigrations is losing regional balance and harmony. Thus, it is essential to take measures to provide for rural development and diminish the caused problems by reducing rural emigrations to cities. The region under study is Golmakan Rural District in Chenaran County in Razavi Khorasan Province. The required data were gathered through desk and field studies by a questionnaire. Cochran Formula was used for determining the sample size for data collection in villages. Data analyses were conducted through SPSS Software and inferential statistics using Pearson Test. The results of this study showed that there are numerous effective factors among which lack of employment and low income have more important roles. Finally, some strategies were suggested. KEYWORDS : rural emigration, Golmakan Rural District, lack of employment, low income ________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION First of all, people mostly emigrate due to economic reasons. The more the difference of economic opportunities between urban and rural regions, the more the emigrants from rural regions to urban regions (Todaro, 1988).
