    In today's information age our individual lives are combined with the media, hence one of the most attractive amusements is watching animations. In recent decades, 3D animations, due to their unique technical specifications, attractiveness, and offering suitable grounds for transmitting diverse contents, have appealed to a vast number of people at different age levels. What counts here is the efforts made to provide educational products side by side with entertainment. Meanwhile, some included immoral contents have threatened the society's norms of modesty. This research has extracted some messages from the 3D Sausage Party animation (2016) produced by Hollywood's Columbia Pictures and analyzed it with an educational approach and use of quality content analysis. The obtained concepts led to the development of a duality at three levels, namely worldview, beliefs, and behaviors. Finally, a model is presented that shows each worldview can create its own sexual beliefs and consequently its unique chaste behavior in sexual domains

    The purpose of this article is to describe and examine the position of Islamic digital content in the policies of FAVA, (Information and communication technology) in Iran during 1381-1386. To analyze the policies, the process policy-making model has been used. One of the objectives in the economic, social and cultural development program of the Islamic Republic of Iran is the advancement of the use and practice of information and communication technology in different sections of the society. To this end, after the proclamation of the government’s “macro-policies in the field of computer-based information networks” in 1380, the related technology advancement was added to the agenda. In 1381, the reform program implementation guidelines, as one of the seven major administrative development plans, together with relevant regulations called TEKFA (information and communication technology advancement and use) were ratified and presented by the government and came into force in 1383. In 1385, TESMA (Producing and organizing electronic content in Iran), and in 1389, TEKFA 3 were presented. Evaluating and analyzing the information and communication content policies in recent years by adopting a scientific macro-model is of great significance due to its impact on the future of culture and communication as a national asset. The survey of these policies according to the six questions of the process model lead to the following results: development in information and communication technology requires both a suitable infrastructure and content. In the Islamic Republic of Iran’s information and communication development program, emphasis has been put on the infrastructure, while neglecting the necessity of a local and Islamic view of the content. The article, therefore, provides an overview of the Islamic digital content in information and communication technology programs running in the years 1381-1386, based on the proposed model

    Background: Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is related to mammalian peroxidase family which contains a wide spectrum of biological activities. Despite the wide studies on the LPO, there is little study has been performed to simplify and shorten the procedure of enzyme purification. The aim of this project was to purify the enzyme through a simple method, and investigating enzyme kinetic parameters. Materials and Methods: LPO was purified from bovine whey through modified method of Yoshida (1990) using two steps of ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography. The purity of isolated enzyme was monitored by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Results: The enzyme was purified 59.13-fold with a recovery of 10.26 having a specific activity of 5.78 U/mg protein and an Rz value of 0.8. The enzyme activity was measured using guaiacol as a chromogenic substrate in phosphate buffer pH 6. SDS-PAGE showed a single bond with molecular weight of 78 kDa. The purified enzyme displayed optimum activity at pH 6 in 30 mM phosphate buffer and at a temperature of 50°C, with a Kmvalue of 178 mM and Vmax 0.63 U/ml.min for guaiacol. Conclusion: Using only one step ion-exchange chromatography, LPO was isolated from bovine whey in high purity
