Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens. -
Necessity of Risk Management of Various Industry-Associated Pollutants (Case Study of Gavkhoni Wetland Ecosystem)
World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Computer and Systems Engineering Vol:5, No:4, 2011 Necessity of Risk Management of Various Industry-Associated Pollutants (Case Study of Gavkhoni Wetland Ecosystem) Hekmatpanah, M. Abstract—Since the beginning of human history, human Majnunian et al [1] state that Gavkhoni wetland with its activities have caused many changes in the environment. Today, a living species and even the human communities living particular attention should be paid to gaining knowledge about water adjacent to it form an integrated system whose life and quality of wetlands which are pristine natural environments rich in survival is dependent on the river. Clark [2] argues that heavy genetic reserves. If qualitative conditions of industrial areas (in terms of both physicochemical and biological conditions) are not addressed metals are one of the most important pollutants that are either properly, they could cause disruption in natural ecosystems, naturally present in the water or get into the water through especially in rivers. With regards to the quality of water resources, municipal, industrial and agricultural discharges. Since the determination of pollutant sources plays a pivotal role in engineering flow of water slows down in the wetland, heavy metals projects as well as designing water quality control systems. Thus, accumulate in soil, plants and aquatic species, thus finding using different methods such as flow duration curves, discharge- their way into human food chain. This process ultimately pollution load model and frequency analysis by HYFA software package, risk of various industrial pollutants in international and endangers both human health and the environment and, in the ecologically important Gavkhoni wetland is analyzed. -

Methods: The study population included all mothers of children with ASD in Isfahan City. Among mothers of children with ASD, 40 individuals were selected from those who obtained the highest scores in worry and rumination (At least one SD higher than the mean scores of the group) and were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. To collect data, the Rumination Response Scale (RRS) and Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) were used. The data were analyzed through multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) using SPSS-21. Keywords: Results: The results indicated that the transdiagnostic treatment is effective on the rumination (F=26.91, df=1 and 36, P<0.001) and worry (F=10.86, df=1 and 36, P<0.002). -

Assessing Epidemiology of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Isfahan, Iran
J Vector Borne Dis 50, March 2013, pp. 30–37 Assessing epidemiology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Isfahan, Iran Marziyeh Karami1, Monir Doudi2 & Mahbubeh Setorki3 1Young Researchers Club, Falavarjan Branch; 2Department of Microbiology, Falavarjan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Falavarjan, Isfahan, Iran; 3Department of Biology, Izeh Branch, Islamic Azad University, Izeh, Iran ABSTRACT Background & objectives: Leishmaniasis has an annual incidence of 0.5–1.5 million new cases and is endemic in 88 countries throughout the world. About 90% of cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) are reported from seven countries including Iran. Evidence suggests the increased annual incidence of this disease in Iran. Intracellular protozoan parasite, Leishmania, is an obligatory parasite. Sandflies transfer infectious forms of the parasite or its metacyclic promastigotes to its vertebrate hosts such as humans by biting. In order to review the epidemiology of CL in Isfahan, Iran, factors such as incidence, disease causes, geographic features, age, and sex distribution, nationality, and occupation of patients, and the clinical spectrum of disease were evaluated. Methods: During the study, 1315 patients with CL, who referred to the Dermatology and Leishmaniasis Research Center at Isfahan, were evaluated. Results: The highest prevalence of CL was observed in fall (54%) and in northern areas of Isfahan (60.9%). Although CL was prevalent in both men and women, it had higher incidence in men (61.8%). The majority of patients (31.2%) aged 21–30 yr old. Most lesions were nodule-shaped (36.5%) and in upper extremities (48.3%) particularly in men (32.4%). While 81.2% of the subjects were Iranian, others were Afghani or with other nationalities. -

This research describes the challenges of Isfahan ecotourism and explores the opportunities in this city. The research is a developing research. Data gathered through interviews, field work, using of different web sites, magazines, e-books, theses and scientific reports. This research is worked on the basis of a model and described that there must be a governmental strategic plan and framework on the basis of this model. The research is a qualitative and descriptive. Data gathered through archival records and interviews and direct observation. From conducting this research some important findings explored. It seems that as a result of findings, Isfahan province enjoys appropriate situations and advantages for developing ecotourism but they have not been introduced in previous years in a proper manner and there is not desired spatial arrangement and planning and linkage between them. Performed actions are limited to preservation and maintenance and restoration of a few historical constructions in Isfahan. -

Correspondence: Mina Salehichampiri, Student Research Committee, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Science, Yazd, Iran, Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT Background: Sexual satisfaction is the couple’s satisfaction with their sexual relationship. Anecdotal evidence showed that sexual satisfaction is an important factor in marital satisfaction and sexual dissatisfaction in many cases may aggravate marital disputes. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of consulting with the problem-solving approach on sexual satisfaction of married women. Materials and Methods: During a semi-experimental study and based on an AB-type single case study design with follow-up stage, four married women recruited using purposive sampling through a semi-structured interview. Participants were referred for Iranian women’s health survey or their children's growth monitoring in urban health centers, Shahin Shahr, Iran. Their sexual satisfaction was assessed using Married Women’s Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaireat baseline, from the third to the eight sessions, post completion of intervention, and after four weeks sat follow-up session. The intervention included eight weekly sessions based on a problems-solving approach that assisted by the second author. Data were analyzed using visual analysis. -
