Iran ABSTRACT Background: The use of rural health houses is one of the important approaches for delivering health services but, inappro- priate infrastructures and limited resources make it difficult to design and implement plans to enhance and improve health services in rural areas. The aim of this study was to analyze the accessibility to rural health care services in the province of Khuzestan Materials and methods: This applied research was conducted in Khuzestan Province, south-west Iran with a cross-sectional approach in 2014. The population of the study was the villages and rural health houses. All the villages and rural health houses were included in the study without sampling. Descriptive data collected with a checklist from the Statistical Centre of Iran, IT Department of the Management Deputy of the Governor’s Office and Ahvaz Jundishapur and Dezful University of Medical Sciences and spatial data obtained from the national Cartographic Center.

  • The Middle Cretaceous – Lower Miocene 3D Petroleum System Modeling of Kupal Oil Field, South West of Iran, Dezful Embayment
    Archive of SID Geopersia 10 (1), 2020, PP. 165-194 DOI: 10.22059/GEOPE.2019.281259.648477 The Middle Cretaceous – Lower Miocene 3D petroleum system Modeling of Kupal Oil Field, South West of Iran, Dezful Embayment Mousa Zohrabzadeh1, Hossain Rahimpour–Bonab2*, Mohsen Aleali1 1 Department of Earth Sciences, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University (IAU), Tehran, Iran 2 Department of Geology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran *Corresponding author, e–mail: [email protected] (received: 13/05/2019 ; accepted: 11/12/2019) Abstract The Middle Cretaceous–Lower Miocene petroleum system of the Kupal oil field, located in the Dezful Embayment has been studied. The Kazhdumi and Pabdeh are main source rocks, the Sarvak, Ilam and Asmari formations are reservoir and the Gachsaran formation is the seal rock. According to geochemical analysis, the Kazhdumi and Pabdeh contributed to oil generation and feeding the Asmari and Bangestan reservoirs. Also, the lateral migration from the Kupal to other fields is ruled out but vertical migration led to feeding the Asmari and Bangestan reservoirs. Considering burial history diagrams and modeling of 3D petroleum system in the syncline area between the Marun and Kupal fields, oil generation phases from the Kazhdumi and Pabdeh formations were about 9 and 6 million years ago, respectively. Also in the syncline area between these structures (about 7 and 3 million years ago), the hydrocarbon expulsion started from the Kazhdumi and Pabdeh formations, respectively. Based on 3D hydrocarbon system modeling, in the drainage area of the Kupal oil field, about 51% of the hydrocarbon composition of the Kazhdumi source rock transformed into coke and consumed during the geological periods; but the Pabdeh source rock is remained intact, and only about 18% of the hydrocarbon composition of this formation is transformed into coke.

ABSTRACT Scorpions are dangerous for humans due to having deadly and toxic sting. Scorpion sting is a major public health challenge in many countries. The south and southwest of Iran with about 95% species of scorpions are the most heavily occupied regions in the country. Khuzestan Province is highlighted for its scorpions and scorpionism amongst the provinces of Iran. Khuzestan with 19 species of scorpions is one of the most important regions in terms of scorpionism problem in the southwestern Iran. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of survey epidemiology of scorpion sting in Masjed-Soleyman County from 2015 till 2017. This research is a descriptive - analytical study. All the scorpionism cases who were referred to the 22-Bahman Hospital of Masjed-Soleyman during the study period were included in this research. The required information was extracted from the patients’ recorded data in the hospital. Information for each case were recorded in a special checklist and imported into the computer for statistical analysis.

  • Natural Geographic Features in Dezful and Susa in the Development of Sustainable Tourism
    NATURAL GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES IN DEZFUL AND SUSA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM 1HEYDAR LOTFI, 2MARYAM NAHAVANDIAN, 3NEDA GHASEMNIA 1Assistant professor of Garmsar Azad University, Iran 2Master of geography and tourism planning Islamic Azad University of Garmsar ,Iran 3Master of tourism management, Qeshm institute of higher education, Iran E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract-Based on these results, Sasa and Dezful for wheat, barley and rice on irrigated land, respectively, in grades 22, 27 and 21 and on dry land (wheat and barley) has been ranked 28 Which indicates the low efficiency of this activity in the province is compared to other provinces. Some of the causes of this problem, as follows: Salinity and poor soil, more than 60 percent of land in the province (mountainous desert lands) for agricultural activities.Low rate of rainfall. High temperature, resulting in a high rate of evaporation of soil moisture. Poor vegetation cover. Low percentage of literate farmers (based on the results of the General Census of Agriculture., 6/55 percent From illiterate farmers in Khuzestan province and education 9/28 percent of them, the elementary school has been) and as a result of insufficient acquaintance with scientific methods activities of agriculture, horticulture and animal husbandry. Key words- Natural geographic, sustainable tourism,Susa,Dezful I. PROBLEM STATEMENT hand and the loss of productivity at the workplace on the other hand, Weather conditions is one of the main Khuzestan province with an area of 63633 square causes of brain drain (expert and capitalists) from the kilometers between 29 degrees and 57 minutes north province to the provinces that are more favorable latitude and 33 degrees of the equator and 47 degrees weather conditions, respectively.

  • Khuzestan Province, Iran
    Journal of Hydraulic Structures J. Hydraul. Struct., 2019; 6(1): 90- 104 DOI: 10.22055/jhs.2020.32747.1133 The Impact of outlier detection to estimate groundwater fluctuations using GRACE satellite data; Case Study: Khuzestan Province, Iran Mohammad Mehdi Riyahi1* Mohammad Jafarpour1 Lotfollah Emadali2 Mohammad Ali Sharifi3 Abstract Groundwater aquifers are one of the most significant freshwater resources in the world. Hence, the monitoring of these resources is particularly important for available water resources planning. Piezometric wells have traditionally been used to monitor groundwater. This approach is costly and pointwise, which is not feasible for places with steep topography and mountainous areas. Nowadays, remote sensing techniques are widely used in various fields of engineering as appropriate alternatives to traditional methods. In water resources management, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites can monitor groundwater changes with acceptable accuracies. This paper applied the GRACE satellite data for a 40-month period to assess the variation of the groundwater level in Khuzestan province. The Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) model was used to counteract the soil moisture effect in final results. The observed data from piezometric wells were pre-processed to detect outliers using the Mahalanobis algorithm in Khuzestan province. At last, the outputs of GRACE were compared with these processed observed data. Despite the relatively small size of the area in question, the results indicated
