This is a study of cultural change among the turks around the Hammadan city after their migration to new sociocultural miliet (Hamadan city). The study rests on a comparative model which necessarily incorporates elements of synchronic approach. Two Turk communities around the Hamadan city and in the city which have been segragated for many years are compared by adopting a list of various cultural traits in a unified table. Although the Turks setteled in Hamadan city were part of the Turks around the city, their culture has undergone a lot of changes in past years. In the process of comparison of the intercultural data, a list of changed and fixed traits are shown as complexes of cultural traits.

Spatial balance in distribution of funcitional centers of health and treatment indicators provides the background to health, tranquility, and urban beauty which are necessitie of urban sustainable development. Disorder in zonal distribution of health and treatment indicators and absence of convenient zoning have caused some of districts of Isfahan not to benefit from social justice. In this article, by using deductive surveying and analytical methods of research, attempts have been made to show the imbalance in services distribution and also, specifically, to present some suggestions and guidelines in achieving the optimun coadition. The statistics to be used are related to the year 1375. The findings could be of significance in medical geography, urban geography, urban planing and urban design.

Flood is one of the most destructive natural hazards produced by many different types of precipitating weather systems, especially low-pressure systems that pass through the same region. These conditions are often the cause of severe floods in the Karun basin. In some years,many active cyclonic storms attackin Karun basin during December to Mayand cause a huge and catastrophic flood with large damage to properties, industries, roads, animals and human beings located in these area. The maximum activity of floods occur normally in March.In this research, we attempt to investigate the behaviour of the flood through analysing synoptic situation in 850, 700, 500 and 300 hectopascal (hpa) levels.Thermodynamic indices have been used to determine atmospheric stability.

Political systems include two dimensions: political structure and political culture. Political culture is a four dimensional phenomenon which includes beliefs, values, knowledge and sentiments. Based on these four dimensions, we can define different types of political culture. Political culture is the frame that forms political behavior. Theorists and researchers have proposed different types of political culture; for example, types of political culture, defined by Gabriel Almond (parochial, subject, participant), Walter A. Rosenbaum (civic, non-religious, ideological), Daniel Elazar (individualistic, moralistic, traditionalistic), Mahmood Sariolghalam (tribal), Samih Farsoun and Mehrdad Mashayekhi (Islamic, liberal and socialist). The aim of this paper is to determine some key variables for defining types of political culture within the society of Iranian students. The researcher also intends to determine factors afferting these types of political culture.This article is a summary of final report of a doctoral dissertation entitled "Typology and Explanation of the Political Culture of Iranian students". Within the framework of the original research, the researcher intended to answer the following two main questions: 1) What are the types of political cultures 2) and What are the factors influencing them? This article attempts to provide an answer to the first question. It is claimed that the students can be classified into three types of political culture: backward participation seekers, medians and forward participants.

Firstly, this work will try to explain and examine the situation of the Ulama of Isfahan during the period led to the Mashrotiyat Movement (Constitutional Movement) and then the reason why the ulama widely supported the movement in the city. Also, the article will attempt to justity the effect of the achievement of the movement on the establishment of the Anjoman-e Velayati in Isfahan, and the reasons and the motivation of the ulame for their support of this institution until the Coup of Mohamad Ali Shah against the movement. In the next section, this work will endeavor to investigate the structure, scope, the measure of the authority and the function of the Anjoman-e Moqaddas-e Melli-e Isfahan (Local Assembly) and its newspaper. The last issue would be to assess the position of the Anjoman compared with other institutions e.g. Majles-e Shora-ye Melli (National Assembly), the Shah and monarchy, Mashrotiyat and influential people at the era of the movement. Furthermore, in this section the political approach and effort of the Anjoman in the line of evaluating the measure of its independence and efficiency in the city will be examined.

Among different groups of sources on Sasanid history, the writings of Islamic classic authors, though compiled in the later centuries after Sasanid, are of great importance, due to their access to the original texts and sources of that period. After Ibn-e Vazeh Ya'qobi, Tabari developed the first general history in Islamic history. which was the most famous Islamic general history. After him, most of the information in Islamic general histories, except those exclusive of the Tabari's subject and time have been based on his materials.But among other Islamic general histories, the compilations of Mas'odi and Ibn-Asir are of Islamic historiography characteristics due to the content and manner of historiographies. The attitude and the styles of these historians and identification of sources and authorities are considered important criteria to evaluate and criticize the content of their work. This article attempts to consider the sources, the orginal news and reports, about Sassanid while investigating their attitude, styles and standing in Islamic historiography about Sasanid. The variety of references of Sasanid history in Tabari and Mas'odi's manuscript, different reports concerning different cultural, political, social and ethnical trends with different approaches to the history of this period is a considerable subject in verifying Sasanid history in the writings of these authors. Although Ibn-e Asir has presented Sasanid history based on Tabari's reports, his history indicates the result of a verification process and saying selection, due to its refining and elimination of parallel and contradictory reports.

During 1893-1996, JASKS annual temperature increased by 0.835 æ 0.293 Co. Some of the changes that have appeared since 1950 have been affected by meteorological station displacement, measuring instrument changes, ihe screen cage altitude change, and so on. Evaluation of temperature trend and phases in JASK in comparison with those in North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Southern Oscillation Index (SOl) and sunspots number may justify about 20 percent increase in JASK annual temperature. Each factor has a differential effect on temperature in terms of lag time and influencial direction. Annual SOl and sunspots No influence JASK annual temperature by one and five year lag time, respectively The relation between JASK's temperature and sunspots number is positive but it is negative for the others.

In 1905/1324, as the result of long time socio-politicaI uprising, the Iranian old system transferred to the constitutional situation. Thus, the most important outcome of the movement was the establishment of the National Assembly (Majles) in Tehran and the Local Assemblies (Anjomans) in the major cities and provinces of Iran. In Isfahan, the Local Assembly was called "Anjoman-e Moqaddas-e Melli". This Anjoman, in spite of its co-operation at the beginning with Zell-o-Soltan, the Governor General of the region (Vali), with dissatisfaction of people, became against Vali and asked the central government to dismiss him. Finally, the struggle between people and the Anjoman with Governor General and the central government induced to strikes, demonstrations and sanctuaries (bastneshini) which consequently led to topple the cruel vali, Zell-o-Soltan from his post.

The formation of the Fatemid regyme in Maghreb (Northern Africa) in the year 297 (H.G) led to the adherence of masses toward their way of thinking. This raises a question as for how they managed to attract masses of followers in a remarkably limited period of time. Those who are in opposition to them maintain that free thinking brought them the popularity they gained among their followers.A careful study of the Fatemids' movement in Maghreb shows that in the period of their uprising, they revealed no signs of free thinking. The thing is that the Sonnat religous leaders who opposed them spread accusations against them so that they could scatter the seeds of hatered in the Moslems hearts against the Fatemids. What has caused the spread of such accusations has been the religously unacceptable deeds and actions of Ghorameteh groups. The Sonnat religous leaders have not distinguished between them and the Fatemids. The Fatemids themselves issued confessions in their rejection of free thinking done by Ghorameteh. Of most importance is, given that the role of religion has been absolutely dominant among the Barbarians settled in the west, free thinking could never have got the chance of being practiced there, nor has it been the cause of popularity and great inclination of people toward them.

Landslides are an expensive, dangerous, and sometimes deadly geologic hazard in the Middle Karoon Basin. Landslides can damage or destroy homes, roadways, and utility infrastructure and endanger lives. Landslides occur during the end of winter or early spring. The natural and residential situation of the basin is the main reason for occurance of landslides. The geological, tectonical, topographical and geomorphical situation are the most important causultive factors in this regards. The majority of landslides have been on the elevation from 1500-3000 and slope ranging from 20 to 50 percent. This class of slope also covers the most part of the basin. The impermable materials mainly marns, interlayered by permable layers, could be also considered as an important causetive factor in landslide occurance in this area. The study area is located in Zagrus rise folded regin which is tectonically active and the resulted crashed zone is suceptible to erosional factors. The tectonical activities are also responsible in neotectonical uplifts, resulting in increasing the dynamical potential of running water, leading to degradation of flood plain and undercutting of river banks and as the result slope failure.

It could be argued that neither Shah Ismail I (892 - 930 A.H./1486 - 1524 A.D.) nor his courtiers and Sufis were true Muslims, but merely made a show of zeal by pretending to be good Muslims. To hold the attention of the people and 10 carry out his own plans and those of his sufis, Shah Ismail never undertook any important move without first having show of his religious zeal. Therefore, it is hard to believe that Shah Ismail I did not like or was not fond of drinking and feasting, since he himself was very fond of then. It is ironic that we believe he forbade his Qizil- Bashes to continue these unlawful acts in his camp.The author of Tarikh-e-Jahan Gusha-yi Khaqan states that Shah Ismail I had some musicians and dancers who were in his camp and were different from others. Since the king did not like the ordinary musicians and dancers, therefore, these people (only male) were allowed in his camp.His musicians had shaved their heads while their moustach had been allowd to drop below their lips; and they wore plumed head-dresses with tufts of feathers in them, and had strips of tiger-skin draped around their shoulders. They carried their swords at angle and their large Chukurs were slung from their necks.
