Introduction Brucellosis is the most common zoonotic disease as high-risk regions (2). In Iran, 68,493 cases were among humans and animals; it is also known as reported from 2011 to 2014, with an incidence rate of undulant fever, wavy fever, Malta fever, and 38.6 per 100,000 people (3). In addition, Zanjan Mediterranean fever (1). Brucellosis is caused by the province is estimated as a region with a high incidence Brucella species of bacteria and presents itself as acute, rate (21–30 per 100,000 in 2010). Therefore, health under acute, and chronic categories. The disease is care professionals, mainly those in developing transmitted through direct or indirect contact between countries, need modern technologies to confront humans and infected animals. It has gained attention numerous illnesses and deaths in order to be able to from both economic and health prospects because of study the role of space in generating and spreading miscarriages in animals (barrenness), reductions in infectious diseases. Considering countries’ inabilities milk production, and economic losses of infected to restrict the spread of brucellosis and manage it, livestock. In addition, it causes intense side effects in scientific evaluations to improve our conception of patients, including fever, malaise, weakness, and biology and human behavior can lead us to better weight loss. The infected milk and other dairy products manage and control the disease. from animals are the most widespread source of oral The brucellosis incidence rate depends on time and transmission of Brucella (1). region, whereas the different distributions of disease About 500,000 new cases and 14×105 deaths are and incidence rates are reported the provinces in Iran reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) (1, 3). Studies have estimated spatiotemporal patterns each year; the Mediterranean countries are considered of disease distribution in Iran and throughout the world Volume 28, September & October 2020 Journal of Advances in Medical and Biomedical Research 248 Incidence Rate and Risk Factors of Brucellosis in Zanjan Province by using different methods (2–5). However, there is no inhabitants, and comprises 71 rural and 44 urban study regarding the brucellosis distribution using these regions. The 2,829 brucellosis infected cases in the methods in Zanjan province. The autoregressive province were confirmed by the Health Deputy integrated moving average (ARIMA) model is a widely Department of Zanjan University of Medical Sciences used model that can use past and present information and utilized for analysis. The data used in this study to predict the future. The ARIMA model (5, 6), were collected from the health centers of Zanjan geographic information systems (GIS), spatial weights province over six years. They were used for the study empirical Bayes smoothing (7), and scan statistics (8) after gaining the approval of the Committee of Fighting have been applied to predict spatiotemporal models. Infectious Diseases. The literature has reported some limitations of these It was essential to account for the local and temporal methods, including the false discovery rate due to autocorrelation patterns in the data analysis to make multiple testing, length of the scan window, and statistically unbiased estimates of the parameters in the selection of the number of clusters (9, 10). Accounting geographical and trend analyses. The spatiotemporal spatial correlations or structured heterogeneity can help Cox model holds the assumption of variance inflation, assess interactions between time and area to obtain in which incidence rates are dependent among times accurate estimates of risk distributions (11, 12). and neighbors. The brucellosis incidence rate was Currently, there are no standards to describe the disease estimated based on the population at risk in each in a spatiotemporal way. The present study offers a new region. The global Moran’s I and Anselin Local approach to tackling the problems identified in the Moran’s I were used to account for autocorrelation previous studies and attempts to improve the patterns across regions. Moran’s I was used to estimate methodology of future studies. the degree of dispersion in space. A spatiotemporal estimation of brucellosis incidence In this study, the spatiotemporal model was used per rates has not yet been investigated by using this the following formula (13-17). approach in Zanjan province, which is a high-risk Λ (x, t) = 휆(x) (t) R (x, t). region, and there are substantial knowledge gaps regarding its incidence rate.

Furthermore, little research exists explaining how different mechanisms might influence urban residents’ decision to participate in UA. Our research tested the direct effect of several predictors on ICUA using structural equational modelling. In addition, we tested the mediation effect between the predictors and the ICUA that may exist as well. Results are based on data from 200 agricultural professionals in the Zanjan province in northwest Iran. We found that “personal characteristics”, “UA positive and negative consequences”, “sociocultural”, and “economic” factors affect ICUA. Among all factors, “personal characteristics” had the strongest direct effect on ICUA. The indirect model incorporating “attitude” provided support for the mediation model. We found “personal characteristics”, “UA positive and negative consequences”, and “sociocultural” influenced ICUA indirectly through “attitude.” Among all factors, “sociocultural” had the strongest indirect effect on ICUA.

  • Designing a Whole-Farm Revenue Insurance for Agricultural Crops In
    Economía Agraria y Recursos Naturales. ISSN: 1578-0732. e-ISSN: 2174-7350. Vol. 17,2. (2017). pp. 29-53 Designing a whole-farm revenue insurance for agricultural crops in Zanjan province of Iran Mohammad Ghahremanzadeha, Rasoul Mohammadrezaeia, Ghader Dashtia and Moharram Ainollahib ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to design and empirically evaluate the Whole Farm Insur- ance (WFI) over the conventional insurance programs in Zanjan province of Iran. Historical farm-level and county-level data were used to estimate yield and price density functions. Both parametric and non- parametric methods were applied for predicting the future values and the PQH simulation method was utilized to calculate premium rates. Results revealed that loss ratios of the WFI are lower for farmers who insured more than one crop. Additionally, utilizing WFI reduces premiums. Moreover, premiums obtained from nonparametric method are relatively lower compared to the parametric approachy. KEYWORDS: Indemnity, Iran, price risk, whole-farm insurance, yield risk, Zanjan.

Mongol Ilkhanates • A khanate is Turkic-originated word used to describe a political entity ruled by a Khan. • When Genghis Khan died, he divided his kingdom into 4 sections for each of his grandsons. After the death of Mongke Khan in 1259, a succession war broke out which eventually divided the empire into four separate Khantes. • This is where the Ilkhanate originates from. The Ilkhanate Empire 1256-1335 This 14th-century Persian manuscript shows Genghis Khan and three of his four sons. The youngest, Tolui, fathered Möngke and Hülegü; it was the death of Möngke in early 1260 that prompted the pullback of Hülegü’s army, leaving a much smaller Mongol force to advance on Egypt. Mongols Fighting Ilkhanates Continued… • The founder of the Ilkhanate dynasty was Hulegu Khan. From there on, successions took place for 80 years and eventually led to them to convert to Islam. • Ghazan was the first khan to do so. • Under the harsh reign of succeeding emperors, rivalry between the Christians, Buddhist, and Muslims continued. Ilkhanates Continued… • This brutal pattern continued right through to Öljeitü Khan (held throne between 1304 and 1316). • Öljeitü khan’s tomb now remains perhaps the best known monument of the Ilkhanid Rule in Persia. • This Mausoleum is known as Soltaniyeh. • The successor of Öljeitü, was Abu Sa’id, and with his death the Khante began to disintegrate rapidly.

The project was commissioned by the local ruler, Oljeitu, and it is considered by historians as a prime example of the architectural style pioneered in the Il-Khanid dynasty. The dome has a diameter of approximately 25 meters and reaches a height of 49 meters. The double shelled dome rests on a vertical drum which is supported on an octagonal base with a series of pointed arches and detailed muqarnas. 8 short minarets are radially arrayed around the dome. The dome is constructed entirely out of herringbone-patterned brick with no wooden or iron tension rings. A layer of thin decorative tile adorns the outside of the dome. For the past half-century, the dome has received intensive renovation work after centuries of disrepair. Figure 1: The Soltaniyeh dome as seen in 2011 after modern reconstruction efforts on the dome.

  • Historia Completa De Persia E Irán
    Historia de la Civilización Persa hasta el Irán Contemporáneo 1- Introducción La estela dejada por Persia es todavía palpable por doquier. Por suerte, el pueblo iraní, tan profundamente celoso de su pasado, ha sabido conservar las huellas indelebles de todos los grandes personajes que ha dado, desde poderosos reyes a carismáticos poetas. Y ésas huellas son parte importante de los alicientes que satisfacen al visitante. La presencia humana en Irán se remonta a unos 80.000 años. La prehistoria perduró hasta ahora hace unos cinco mil años, cuando bajo el reinado de Elam se fundaron las primeras ciudades en el suroeste del país, Susa fue su primera capital. Al mismo tiempo, tribus hurritas habitaban el noroeste. La meseta central fue ocupada hace tres mil años por las tribus indoiranias, de raza aria; eran los medos y los persas. El primer gran monarca persa fue Ciro II el Grande (599-529 a. C.). Gracias a su ambición logró fundar el imperio aqueménida, cuyos dominios abarcaban desde el actual Afganistán hasta el Mediterráneo. En el año 521 a. C. Darío I fue proclamado Rey de Reyes. Estableció su capital en Persépolis. A pesar de sufrir una severa derrota en la batalla de Maratón, cuando intentaba dominar a los atenienses, amplió su imperio desde Egipto al Danubio y desde el mar de Aral al río Indo. El hijo de Darío, Jerjes, derrotó a los griegos en la batalla de las Termópilas y ocupó Atenas. Alejandro Magno, un joven caudillo macedonio se convirtió en el monarca más poderoso del mundo. En el año 334 a.
