Indo- Iran relations (evolving ties from 1990-2005)

India and Iran -the great civilisations of the world had close historical and cultural ties. With the changing trends in the international politics which somehow leads towards the change in national interest had sometimes effected the relations between the two countries. However both New Delhi and Tehran are striving to maintain good and friendly relation among them to achieve their interests of national importance

Upaya Iran Mensukseskan Penyelenggaraan Ktt Gnb (Konfrensi Tingkat Tinggi Gerakan Non-blok) Ke XVI Di Teheran Guna Meningkatkan Prestise Internasionalnya Tahun 2012

This research porpuse is to description about the efford of Iran tosucceeds Tehran NAM Summit. Iran has got sanction from United States, Security Council of United Nation, and European Union since few years ago. This invites all states in the world to join together for isolating Iran from International forum. Yet, AS and Israel\u27s threat to forbid all of Non Aligned Movement members to attend the Tehran Summit Iran ignores.This research applying qualitative methods and library research. The author used diplomacy theory with the level of the nation-state analysis the source of the research are from of books, journals, publications, articles, news and internet. Iran succeeds in inviting all of Non Aligned Movement members to come to this agenda. For the first time, the Egypt\u27s president, after the Camp David Agreement, comes to Tehran for attending this summit. The United Nation secretary, Ban Kimoon, also comes to the agenda.This research, concluded that Iran succeeds in inviting all of Non Aligned Movement members to come to this agenda. The Non Aligned Movement Summit succeeded in making a declaration, which called “Tehran Declaration”. It is a milestone of the existence of the Non Aligned Movement\u27s role in International affair. Furthermore, the declaration says that the Non Aligned Movement members, including Iran, are permitted to enrich nuclear for International peace

British and Iranian parents’ and children’s awareness of the child’s weight status, physical activity, sedentary behaviours and fundamental movement skills: A mixed methods approach

Childhood obesity (CO) is an epidemic issue in developed and developing countries (e.g. UK as developed and Iran as developing country) which needs to be addressed. Parents’/children’s awareness of weight status and health behaviours of the child are considered an initial step to prevent and mange CO. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to examine and explain parents’ and children’s awareness of the child’s weight status, Physical Activity (PA), Sedentary Behaviour (SB) and Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) among normal weight and overweight children, in two different countries (i.e. Uk and Iran) with high rate of CO through a mixed method approach. Adopting a sequential explanatory design, this research is conducted in two consecutive phases, including three quantitative studies (using questionnaires) in phase one, following by qualitative study (using interview) in phase two to explain findings of quantitative studies. It should be noted that the studies in this thesis were conducted prior to the covid-19 pandemic. The sample in the three quantitative studies (studies 1-3) consisted of 217 children (aged 8-10 years); 98 British and 119 Iranian as well as their parents. To assess actual weight status, Body Mass Index (BMI) percentile was measured and children were categorised as normal weight (N=71 British & 74 Iranian, if BMI <85th percentile) and overweight (N=27 British & 45 Iranian, if BMI ≥85th percentile). PA, SB (GeneActive accelerometers) and Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) (Test of Gross Motor Development–2) of children were objectively measured. Verbal and visual tools were applied to assess weight status perception. Questionnaires were used for assessing PA, SB and FMS perception. Results of quantitative studies found that many overweight children and their parents in both countries underestimated the child’s weight status verbally and visually, while British parents and children had lower accuracy than Iranian. In both weight groups Iranian parents, their children and British children overestimated the child’s PA level while British parents accurately perceived it. Iranian children’s overestimation of PA was more than British children. In addition, British parents and their children as well as Iranian normal weight children underestimated the child’s SB while Iranian overweight children were aware of their SB. Iranian parents overestimated SB of their children. Concerning FMS, in both countries parents of normal weight children were aware of the FMS levels of children whereas parents of overweight children and all children themselves were not aware of that. Comparing the two countries in study 3, British overweight children had higher levels of overestimation than Iranian overweight children. The qualitative study (study 4) used semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 40 parents (20 in each country) who had an 8-10 year old child and were fluent in their respective native languages (English and Farsi). Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically. Results of the qualitative study showed that in both countries parents felt responsible for CO and un/healthy behaviours of children, however Iranian parents, attributed the responsibility also to school and government as well. British parents placed less responsibility on these organisations. ‘Denial’ was suggested as a parental reaction to CO, and low activity levels and poor FMS of children which may impact parents’ awareness. There were a variety of reasons for denial but denial to avoid the social stigma attached to CO was raised mainly among Iranian parents while denial due to normalisation of obesity as well as to deflecting parental responsibility was raised more by British parents. While denial of high SB leading to underestimation was discussed by British parents, overestimation of SB was also discussed by Iranian parents as a strategy to encourage children to be more active, to avoid labelling their child as ‘hyperactive’ and also to persuade schools and government to promote PA of children. Nonchalant and positive attitudes towards CO and the notion that children will grow out of it was another parental reaction to CO discussed by parents in both countries. These factors were suggested by parents as potential reasons for parents’ misperception of their child’s weight. Time, cost, convenience, parents’ lack of knowledge (on all aspects of obesity, nutrition, PA, SB and FMS) child’s preference and weight as well as peer pressure were proposed by parents as barriers to behaviour change. Overall, the results of the studies in this thesis showed that parents’ lack of awareness of CO, PA, SB and FMS of children is a critical issue for managing and treating CO and promoting healthy behaviours of children. In this regard, it was also found parents face various barriers that they need to be supported to overcome them suggesting that increasing awareness alone might not be sufficient. CO prevention and management is a shared responsibility that needs a multi-disciplinary multisector approach. In addition, the results of the studies in this thesis showed that to improve efficacy of intervention programs they need to be tailored to countries/cultures

PERMEABILITY PREDICTION IN CARBONATE RESERVOIR (IRANIAN RESERVOIR)

With the application of modified equation a new permeability equation is developed from porosity and irreducible water saturation. Sedimentary rocks are often tested for their correlation between porosity, (Ø), and permeability, (K). A general trend of increase in permeability with porosity can be expected. Different affections such as, grain size, packing, compaction, and solution or dissolution can influence the relationship between porosity and permeability. The prediction of permeability in heterogeneous carbonate reservoir from well log data is not very accurate. When using conventional core analysis (RCA) and special core analysis (SCAL) a new modified equation becomes present. The empirical equation is used as a base model, evaluated by Wyllie and Rose (1950) which is related to permeability, porosity, and irreducible water saturation. Various empirical models such as, Timur 1968, Tixier 1949 are used to predict permeability from log data for sandstone reservoirs worldwide. In addition to existent proposed equations, we propose an additional equation that also uses laboratory data
