Abstract

Urban landscape, as a narrative text, seeks to link social history to the arena of the city in urban open spaces. The interventions made in the environments over many years, which are manifested in the form of urban landscapes, etc., are actually new textual layers, that are the result of a relationships chain of companionship and succession in the primary text's narration. In all, there are traces of various signs related to different epochs related to the memories of the site, as well as, reception and understanding the narrative language of any urban landscape. The main question of this research is to discover the relationship between collective and individual memories with the reception of the urban landscape layers as a narrative text; and how to use these relationships in renovating the landscape in the historical urban sites.

This paper pursues the achievement of process in the reconstruction and reception of landscape in the historical sites based on the preservation of collective memories, and the Intertextuality theory as the main goal.

This qualitative research used the method of field study and semi-structured interviews with 32 citizens in the age range of 30 to 70 years of Isfahan city, and the results were analyzed with interpretative content analysis.

This study shows that in order to protect and strengthen the possibility of reception and understanding the narrative urbabn landscape as a text and the continuity of collective memories in historical sites, conserving and renovating strategies based on intertextual relations should be considered together.

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the biofilm formation ability of K. pneumoniae clinical isolates using phenotypic and genotypic methods. Additionally, the association of biofilm formation with antibiotic resistance and the presence of biofilm-related genes was investigated.
Materials & Methods: In this research, a total of 52 clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae were collected from educational hospitals affiliated with Babol University of Medical Sciences from March to October 2023. K. pneumoniae isolates were identified through standard microbiological and biochemical tests. Disk diffusion, microtiter plate, and polymerase chain reaction assays were also performed to evaluate the biofilm formation ability of these isolates.
Findings: K. pneumoniae isolates were obtained from various clinical specimens. The isolates showed the highest resistance to ceftazidime (54%) and the lowest resistance to amikacin (17%). More than 48% of the isolates were multidrug resistant. Of the 52 K. pneumoniae isolates, 43 (82.69%) isolates produced biofilm, whereas the remaining nine (17.3%) did not. K. pneumoniae isolates harbored biofilm formation genes, including treC (78.84%), wcaG (71.15%), mrkD (65.38%), mrkA (63.46%), iutA (40.38%), and magA (15.38%).
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that K. pneumoniae isolates are highly pathogenic because of antibiotic resistance and carrying biofilm genes. Given the biofilm formation propensity of these strains, it is imperative to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of biofilm formation in K. pneumoniae. Developing strategies to inhibit this process is paramount in the effective management of infections caused by this pathogen.

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the extracted (ES) and mechanical (MS) soybean meals two levels 25% and 35% in broiler chicken feeding. Three hundred and fifty two one-day-old unsexed Lohman chickens were placed in four treatments by 4 replicates and 22 chickens in each in a 2×2 factorial arrangement. Feed intake was increased significantly in starter period by ES in comparison with MS. Feed conversion ratio was significantly improved when 25% of ES was replaced by fish meal compared with 35% of ES in starter period. Body weight was significantly higher by 25% ES replaced by fish meal in comparison with 25 and 35% MS in grower period. Metabolizable energy was declined in all options (AME, AMEn, TME and TMEn) in MS than ES. Significant depressing in jejunum length was observed by 35% in the two types of soybean meal compared with 25% mechanical soybean meal replaced by fish meal in 14 days. In more details, villous length was lower by mechanical soybean meal in comparison with ES. Alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity was significantly higher in 35% ES in comparison with 25% ES replaced by fish meal and 35% MS in 14 days. In contrast, alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity was reduced remarkably by 35% mechanical soybean meal compared with 25% extracted soybean meal replaced by fish meal in starter period. Urease activity in extracted soybean meal (0.07) was lower than mechanical soybean meal (0.22). The results of this study have shown better performance by extracted soybean meal compared with mechanical soybean meal. In spite of this, less expensively processed mechanical soybean meal (MS) at 25% level replaced by fish meal could be more economical in broiler chicken feeding.

Abstract

Cet article présent, nous ne projetons en aucune façon d'établir ou de définir ce qu'est l'art, dont l'œuvre d'art en ontologie. Ce n'est pas notre préoccupation aujourd'hui, et non plus davantage de la plupart des artistes contemporains. À la recherche d'une ontologie bien particulière sur l’œuvre d’art contemporain, Roger Pouivet, le philosophe contemporain français, l'appelle « l'ontologie appliquée ». Il s’agit de considérer l'œuvre en tant que telle, sans se préoccuper des catégories fondamentales qui la possèdent. À ce stade, il paraît nécessaire de parler du changement de paradigme dans le champ d’arts plastiques, qui résulte de l'apparition des œuvres des textes écrits ou oraux. 
En ce qui concerne le concept de « Zugganzes » de ’Heidegger, il faut bien comprendre, quoi qu'il en soit, le cumul des éléments nécessaires jusqu’à ce que l’établissement d’un système s’achève. Cela veut dire que pour un processus de créer une œuvre d'art contemporain il explique qu’à la fois chaque élément a son rôle clé, même indispensable, et une mission pour compléter le rôle des autres éléments.
Au fur et à mesure de cet article, nous répondrons aux questions de recherche : 1) Comment peut-on mettre en avant un processus de détermination d'une œuvre d'art qui s'enrichit des textes écrits ou oraux, en époque contemporaine ? 2.) Pourquoi et pour quelle raison a-t-on choisi de mettre en lien les deux concepts de « Zugganzes » et de l'hypothèse de « l'ontologie appliquée » dans ce travail de recherche ?
Cette recherche essaye de nous montrer que: les œuvres d'art contemporaines qui sont considérées comme des textes visuels enrichissent des textes écrits ou oraux. En effet, cet acte vise à attirer l'attention des spectateurs en tout temps et en tous lieux. À la fin, on comprendra qu’il est possible de créer visuellement des textes symboliques en pratiquant simultanément les textes écrits ou oraux comme des éléments visuels et en profitant de leurs contextes.

Abstract

Protein as an important ingredient in wheat plays main role in the production of wheat’s products. Because of the production of various products from wheat, fast and online measuring of wheat grain quality is very important   to control of flour production process and choosing an appropriate variety. Also in precision farming, combination of quantity and quality maps lets farmers to evaluate and control the plant production, well. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of infrared spectroscopy in reflectance mode to predict protein and moisture content of wheat grain. In this study about 108 samples were collected from three varieties   namely Mihan, Gazkojhen and Pishgam in the region near Hamedan province in Iran. Grain proteins content were measured with a DA7200 near infrared spectroscopy apparatus. This spectroscopy collects reflectance over a wavelength range of 650-1650 nm in 5 nm increments. Results show that the best models were obtained using the PLSR method and its preprocessing SG+SNV+D1 and MA+D2+SNV for protein and moisture content, respectively. The correlation coefficient (R2), root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and Standard Deviation Ratio (SDR) were obtained 0.84, 0.835 and 2.54 for protein content, whereas 0.96, 0.994 and 5.34 for moisture content, respectively. Results showed that there are no significant differences among proteins of three varieties. But the sampling places have a significant effect on the protein content at the significant level of 5%. These results indicated that the infrared spectroscopy method is an efficient method and has a strong potential for rapid detection of protein and moisture content of wheat grains
