  • The Impact of the Modernity Discourse on Persian Fiction
    The Impact of the Modernity Discourse on Persian Fiction Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Comparative Studies in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Saeed Honarmand, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Richard Davis, Advisor Margaret Mills Philip Armstrong Copyright by Saeed Honarmand 2011 Abstract Modern Persian literature has created a number of remarkable works that have had great influence on most middle class people in Iran. Further, it has had representation of individuals in a political context. Coming out of a political and discursive break in the late nineteenth century, modern literature began to adopt European genres, styles and techniques. Avoiding the traditional discourses, then, became one of the primary characteristics of modern Persian literature; as such, it became closely tied to political ideologies. Remarking itself by the political agendas, modern literature in Iran hence became less an artistic source of expression and more as an interpretation of political situations. Moreover, engaging with the political discourse caused the literature to disconnect itself from old discourses, namely Islamism and nationalism, and from people with dissimilar beliefs. Disconnectedness was already part of Iranian culture, politics, discourses and, therefore, literature. However, instead of helping society to create a meta-narrative that would embrace all discourses within one national image, modern literature produced more gaps. Historically, there had been three literary movements before the modernization process began in the late nineteenth century. Each of these movements had its own separate discourse and historiography, failing altogether to provide people ii with one single image of a nation.

  • Fmri Findings in MTBI Patients with Headaches Following Rtms
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN fMRI fndings in MTBI patients with headaches following rTMS Michael Vaninetti1,2,3*, Mike Lim2, Aladdin Khalaf2, Valerie Metzger‑Smith2, Matthew Flowers2, Alphonsa Kunnel2, Eric Yang2, David Song4, Lisa Lin5, Alice Tsai5, Roland Lee6,7, Shahrokh Golshan8 & Albert Leung1,2,3 Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) patients with persistent headaches are known to have diminished supraspinal modulatory connectivity from their prefrontal cortices. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is able to alleviate MTBI‑related headache (MTBI‑HA). This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study assessed supraspinal correlates associated with the headache analgesic efect of rTMS at left prefrontal cortex (LPFC), hypothesizing real rTMS would signifcantly increase modulatory functions at LPFC in comparison to sham treatment. Subjects with MTBI‑HA were randomized to receive either real or sham rTMS treatments and subjected to pre‑ and post‑treatment resting state and evoked heat‑pain fMRI as described in a prior study. Real rTMS consisted of 2000 pulses delivered at 10 Hz and 80% of the resting motor threshold at left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, whereas sham treatment was delivered with same fgure‑of‑eight coil turned 180 degrees. Follow‑up fMRI was performed one‑week post‑treatment. All fMRI data was processed using BrainVoyager QX Software. 14 subjects receiving real and 12 subjects receiving sham treatments completed the study. The REAL group demonstrated signifcant (P < 0.02) decreases in headache frequency and intensity at one week following treatment. fMRI scans in the REAL group showed increased evoked heat pain activity (P < 0.002) and resting functional connectivity (P < 0.0001) at the LPFC after rTMS.
