Introduction to the Concept of Wine in Sufi Literature and lts Representation by Yunus Emre

lt is necessary to redefine some of the important classical terms and concepts in order to understand the Divan poetry in a more detailed way. One of them is the concept of "wine". This work concerns analysis and interpretation of this concept within its all associations and it also shows how the changes in its meaning has took place through the passage of time. The results gathered from texts have been compared to the similar elements in the Divan of Yunus Emre

"lham" in "Tevriye"

This essay claims that literary figures "tevriye" and "iham" have basically the same meaning and function in poetry. However, recently it has been argued that these two figures have different semantic and rhetorical natures, because while carrying various meanings in itself at the same time, "iham" stands towards the aimed meaning in an equal distance among other meanings. This article isarguing the problem under traditional understandings of rhetoric

Prevalence of refractive errors in Iranian university students in Kazerun

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of refractive errors and visual impairment and the correlation between personal characteristics, including age, sex, weight, and height, with different types of refractive errors in a population of university students in the south of Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a number of university majors were selected as clusters using multi-stage sampling in all universities located in Kazerun (27 clusters of 133 clusters). Then, proportional to size, a number of students in each major were randomly selected to participate in the study. Uncorrected and corrected visual acuity, non-cycloplegic objective refraction and subjective refraction were measured in all participants. Results: The prevalence and 95 confidence interval (CI) of presenting visual impairment and blindness was 2.19 (1.48-3.23) and 0.27 (0.12-0.62), respectively. Refractive errors comprised 75 of the causes of visual impairment. The prevalence (95 CI) of myopia spherical equivalent (SE) = 0.5 D), and astigmatism (cylinder power = 30 years was 0.21 (95% CI: 0.04-0.98). Conclusions: The prevalence of refractive errors, especially myopia, is higher in university students than the general population. Since refractive errors constitute a major part of visual impairment, university students should receive special services for providing corrective lenses and glasses to reduce the burden of these disorders

Identification of Cypraeidae in southern intertidal zones of Qeshm Island, the Persian Gulf

Gastropod communities were investigated along two intertidal sandy and rocky shores in Qeshm Island, the northern Persian Gulf, IR Iran to identify the species of the family Cypraeidae. Monthly sampling was undertaken from May 2007 to April 2008 by haphazardly placing eighteen 0.25 m2 quadrates along two 30m wide transects located approximately 300m apart, perpendicular to the sea, in each sandy and rocky shore. Four species and subspecies belonging to the family Cypraeidae were identified including Cypraea feline fabula, Cypraea grayana, Cypraea nebrites and Cypraea turdus winckworthi. All species occurred on rocky shores. Identifications were verified by Dr. Robert G. Moolenbeek, from Natural History Museum of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
