STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM to its being a clean industry and the third most dynamic, flourishing and developing Today, sustainable architecture is recognized economic phenomenon after the oil and as the most important solution in preserving automotive industry. Tourism can have energy resources, preventing environmental different impacts on the tourist hubs; the pollution, and co-existence with the natural impacts could be social, cultural, economic, and climatic conditions. The physical design and environmental. Development planners model of the architecture of hot and cold and policymakers also regard the tourism climate is a clear example of sustainable industry as the main pillar of sustainable architecture. One of the most tangible development. Given the widespread use of the reflections of the impact of climate on the term sustainable development, the term has formation and construction of buildings and been described differently. Basically, it refers the prevention of the pollution and ruination to the transformation of the relations between of environment could be seen in the artistic systems, on one hand, and social, economic designs of this vast region. Working within and natural processes and institutions, on the the parameters of sustainable architecture, other hand. each building should interact with its context The objective of the present research was to and surrounding environment.

  • Controversy Over Coseismic Surface Faulting in the Zagros Orogenic Belt of Iran: Evidence from Geological Field

Surmeh anticline is the most important geological feature of the southwest Zagros orogeny belt in Fars province, Iran. The structure of the rock of Paleozoic- Mesozoic age is complex. Several levels of deformation are probably recognized in the Alpian orogeny. The Alpian Orogeny produced folds, low angle thrust, numerous normal faults, a moderate graben and widespread fracture zones. The trend of most faults, folds and fracture zones is from northwest to southeast. In this county, the main fault is Surmeh thrust. Due to these effects, Dalan formation contains some clay minerals, Marl perch on Dalan formation and beneath it, perch Foraghan formation and Hurmoz series. At the following tectonic phase, the region creates an appropriate condition for salt diapirism, therefore, in the north county, two salt domes can be seen which are called Jahani dome. Although, the Earth scientists believe that in the southwest of Zagros organic belt, the surficial rupture cannot be seen.

We aimed to detect the situation of intestinal parasitic infections in the Farashband district in Fars Province South of Iran and identify influential factors in the escalation of parasitic diseases and to reduce them. Methods: Overall, 1009 participants from the age of 6 months to 90 years were selected from 3 cities and 15 villages of Farashband district, Fars Province South of Iran from 2015 to 2016. Parasitological methods such as the direct assay method, formalin-ether concentration method, and zinc sulfate flotation were used for diagnosis of worm eggs, cysts, and protozoa trophozoite. Susceptible and protozoan positive samples were stained using the Trichrome stain- ing method. The modified acid-fast staining procedure was conducted for diarrheal samples and the results were used for diagnosis of coccidia.

  • The Spatial Analysis of Annual Measles Incidence and Transition Threat Assessment in Iran in 2016
    Original Article http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir Medical Journal of the Islamic Republic of Iran (MJIRI) Med J Islam Repub Iran. 2019(4 Dec);33.130. https://doi.org/10.47176/mjiri.33.130 The spatial analysis of annual measles incidence and transition threat assessment in Iran in 2016 Abolfazl Mohammadbeigi1, Seyed Mohsen Zahraei2, Azam Sabouri2, Azadeh Asgarian3, Sima Afrashteh4, Hossein Ansari*5 Received: 6 Oct 2018 Published: 4 Dec 2019 Abstract Background: During the past years, due to the increase in immunization coverage and promotion of surveillance data, the incidence of measles decreased. This study aimed to determine the measles incidence risk, to conduct spatial mapping of annual measles incidence, and to assess the transition threat in different districts of Iran. Methods: A historical cohort study with retrospective data was conducted. The measles surveillance data containing 14 294 cases suspected of having measles in Iran were analyzed during 2014-2016. WHO Measles Programmatic Risk Assessment Tool was applied to calculate and map the incidence of measles in each district, to determine the annual incidence rate, and to conduct spatial threat assessment risk. Threat assessment was measured based on factors influencing the exposure and transmission of measles virus in the population. The annual measles incidence rate and spatial mapping of incidence in each Iranian district was conducted by Measles Programmatic Risk Assessment Tool. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics in Excel 2013 and Arc GIS 10.3. Results: Of 14 294 suspected cases, 0.6% (CI 95%: 0.599-0.619) were identified as clinically compatible measles, 0.280 (CI 95%: 0.275-0.284) as confirmed rubella, 0.52% (CI 95%: 0.516-0.533) as epi-linked measles, 4.6% (CI 95%: 0.450-0.464) as lab-confirmed measles, and 94% (CI 95%: 93.93-94.11) were discarded.
