Bagh-e Nazar, 17(86), 33-46 /Aug. 2020 DOI: 10.22034/bagh.2019.185313.4105 Persian translation of this paper entitled: مطالعۀ شمایل شناسانۀ نبرد »رستم و دیو سپید« در کاشی نگارۀ سردر ارگ کریمخان شیراز به روش »اروین پانوفسکی« is also published in this issue of journal. Iconological Study of “Rustam in Struggle with Div-e Sepid” in Tilework of Karim Khan-e Zand Citadel Portal in Shiraz Based on Erwin Panofsky Method Ali Asadpour*1 1. Assistant Professor, Interior Architecture Department, Shiraz University of Arts, Shiraz, Iran. Received: 11/05/2019 ; revised: 14/10/2019 ; accepted: 19/10/2019 ; available online: 22/07/2020 Abstract Problem Statement: The “Rustam and Div-e Sepid (White Demon)” tilework painting on the Karim Khan citadel (Arg) is one of the Qajarian’s interventions into this Zandian’s building. In addition to its artistic features, this work has a special social and governmental significance. However, it has received less attention from researchers. A new interpretation of it could provide a deeper understanding of the developments of the Zandian’s complex at Qajar era. The research is based on the hypotheses that this tilework in spite of its artistic role -in keeping with the Iranian tradition of illustrating the struggle of Rustam and Div-e Sepid in the art- also has non-artistic (political and governmental) functions. Research objective: The aim of the research is to recognize the content and conceptual aspects of this neglected tilework in its historical and social context and to identify its political and governmental functions in the Karim Khan citadel (Arg). -

Future Climate Projection and Zoning of Extreme Temperature Indices
Future Climate Projection and Zoning of Extreme Temperature Indices Mohammad Askari Zadeh Climatological Research Institute Gholamali Mozaffari ( [email protected] ) Yazd University Mansoureh Kouhi Climatological Research Institute Younes Khosravi University of Zanjan Research Article Keywords: Climate change, global warming, extreme index, trend, Razavi Khorasan. Posted Date: July 23rd, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-688612/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/25 Abstract Global warming due to increasing carbon dioxide emissions over the past two centuries has had numerous climatic consequences. The change in the behavior and characteristics of extreme weather events such as temperature and precipitation is one of the consequences that have been of interest to researchers worldwide. In this study, the trend of 3 extreme indices of temperature: SU35, TR20, and DTR over two future periods have been studied using downscaled output of 3 GCMs in Razavi Khorasan province, Iran. The results show that the range of temperature diurnal variation (DTR) at three stations of Mashhad, Torbat-e-Heydarieh and Sabzevar during the base period has been reduced signicantly. The trend of the number of summer days with temperatures above 35°C (SU35) in both Mashhad and Sabzevar stations was positive and no signicant trend was found at Torbat-e-Heydarieh station. The number of tropical nights index (TR20) also showed a positive and signicant increase in the three stations under study. The results showed highly signicant changes in temperature extremes. The percentage of changes in SU35 index related to base period (1961–2014) for all three models (CNCM3, HadCM3 and NCCCSM) under A1B and A2 scenarios indicated a signicant increase for the future periods of 2011–2030 and 2046–2065. -

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF BROADCASTING IN IRAN Bigan Kimiachi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1978 © 1978 BI GAN KIMIACHI ALL RIGHTS RESERVED n iii ABSTRACT Geophysical and geopolitical pecularities of Iran have made it a land of international importance throughout recorded history, especially since its emergence in the twentieth century as a dominant power among the newly affluent oil-producing nations of the Middle East. Nearly one-fifth the size of the United States, with similar extremes of geography and climate, and a population approaching 35 million, Iran has been ruled since 1941 by His Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr. While he has sought to restore and preserve the cultural heritage of ancient and Islamic Persia, he has also promoted the rapid westernization and modernization of Iran, including the establishment of a radio and television broadcasting system second only to that of Japan among the nations of Asia, a fact which is little known to Europeans or Americans. The purpose of this study was to amass and present a comprehensive body of knowledge concerning the development of broadcasting in Iran, as well as a review of current operations and plans for future development. A short survey of the political and spiritual history of pre-Islamic and Islamic Persia and a general survey of mass communication in Persia and Iran, especially from the Il iv advent of the telegraph is presented, so that the development of broadcasting might be seen in proper perspective and be more fully appreciated. -

Relief in this province is rooted in the ancient geology history of Iran and the world. From the most ancient structures of the geology in the world (Precambrian) to the newest ones (Holocene) are seen at a distance which is less than 100 km in this province. We can rarely see very various ecotourism attractions such as deserts, salt playas, sand dunes, Qantas, glacial circuses, spring, karstic caves and kalouts in the other areas of the world in a small distance away from each other. Therefore this province can have special status in ecotourism industry because of its attractions and developing this industry will result in socio-economic advancement and an increase in the employment rate in Yazd province.This research attempts to consider ecotourism attractions briefly in Yazd province and introduce available potential abilities in this field.

The Symbolism of Bahram Gor‟S Dragon-Slaying in Haft Peykar and the Story‟S Reflection in Kamāl Ud-Dīn Behzād‟S Paintings

Corresponding Author: 1*[email protected] Atefeh Garoossi, Mina Sadri. The Symbolism of Bahram Gor’s Dragon-slaying in Haft Peykar and the Story’s Reflection in Kamāl Ud-dīn Behzād’s Paintings-- Palarch’s Journal of Archaeology of Egypt/Egyptology 17(5), 1414-1424. ISSN 1567- 214x Keywords: Bahram Gor, Dragon Slaying, Symbol, Painting, Haft Peykar. Abstract Haft Peykar is One of Nezami Ganjavi‟s most prominent works. It is a symbolic one and each of its stories and scenes can be interpreted and deciphered in different ways. One of the most important stories among them is Bahram Gor‟s dragon-slaying, which has a considerable presence in Iranian visual arts, including painting. The present research aims to study and decipher the symbols used in this mysterious story, as we believe there are still ambiguous points that can be clarified through more accurate studies. To find them, the following questions have been raised: What are the secrets and mysteries behind the story of Bahram Gor‟s dragon-slaying? What are the characteristics of the reflection of Bahram Gor's dragon- slaying story in Iranian painting? The illustration of Bahram Gor's dragon-slaying story is consistent with the poetry images in Haft Peykar, but it seems that the symbols and mysteries that lie in the hidden layers of this story are not found in the paintings drawn according to this story.
