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

The prevalence of refractive errors among adult rural populations in Iran

Purpose: The aim was to determine the prevalence of myopia and hyperopia and related factors in underserved rural areas in Iran. Methods: Under random cluster sampling, two rural regions were randomly selected in the north and southwest of the country, and 3,061 persons over 15 years of age were invited into the study. After selecting samples, all participants had refraction, measurement of uncorrected vision and visual acuity and ocular health examination by slitlamp biomicroscopy. Results: Of the 3,061 invitees, 2,575 participated in the study (response rate: 84.1 per cent). After excluding those who met the exclusion criteria or had missing refractive data, eventually there were 2,518 subjects available for this analysis. The mean age of the participants was 44.3 ± 17.5 years (range: 16 to 93 years) and 1,460 of them (58.0 per cent) were female. The overall prevalence of myopia and hyperopia in this study was 25.2 per cent (95 per cent CI: 23.2 to 27.2) and 22.5 per cent (95 per cent CI: 20.6 to 24.4), respectively. The prevalence of myopia increased from 20.9 per cent in participants 16 to 20 years to 32.9 per cent in the 21 to 30 years age group, declined up to the age of 60 years and increased again afterwards. The lowest prevalence was 6.8 per cent observed in the 16 to 20 years age group and the highest was 45.8 per cent in 61- to 70-year-olds. In the final logistic regression model, myopia significantly associated with age, higher education levels and cataracts, while hyperopia associated with age, lower education levels and male gender. Conclusion: In our study, the prevalence of myopia was lower and the prevalence of hyperopia was higher compared to most previous studies. The findings of this study imply that refractive errors vary by age. © 2017 Optometry Australi

Comparison of the corneal power measurements with the TMS4-topographer, pentacam HR, IOL master, and javal keratometer

Purpose: The aim was to compare the corneal curvature and power measured with a corneal topographer, Scheimpflug camera, optical biometer, and Javal keratometer. Materials and Methods: A total of 76 myopic individuals who were candidates for photorefractive keratectomy were selected in a cross-sectional study. Manual keratometry (Javal Schiotz type; Haag-Streit AG, Koeniz, Switzerland), automated keratometry (IOL Master version 3.02, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany), topography (TMS4, Tomey, Erlangen, Germany), and Pentacam HR (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) were performed for all participants. The 95 limits of agreement (LOAs) were reported to evaluate the agreement between devices. Results: The mean corneal power measurements were 44.3 ± 1.59, 44.25 ± 1.59, 43.68 ± 1.44, and 44.31 ± 1.61 D with a Javal keratometer, TMS4-topographer, the Pentacam and IOL Master respectively. Only the IOL Master showed no significant difference with Javal keratometer in measuring the corneal power (P = 0.965). The correlations of the Javal keratometer with TMS4-topography, Pentacam, and IOL Master was 0.991. 0.982, and 0.993 respectively. The 95 LOAs of the Javal keratometer with TMS4-topography, Pentacam, and IOL Master were - 0.361 to 0.49, -0.01 to 1.14, and - 0.36 to 0.36 D, respectively. Conclusion: Although the correlation of Pentacam, TMS4-topography, IOL Master, and Javal keratometer in measuring keratometry was high, only the IOL Master showed no significant difference with the Javal keratometer. The IOL Master had the best agreement with Javal keratometry
