Abstract
Pumpkin seeds are well known for their nutritional value and health benefits. However, there were limited data on the pathway between phytochemical and nutritional values (amino acid, organic acid, mineral, and fatty acid content) of pumpkin seeds. For this purpose, the seeds of some Turkish pumpkin genotypes (NVS-1, NVS-2, KNY, KYS-1, KYS-2, BRS, EDR, and KRK) were analysed for their amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, and mineral content. The wide variation between seeds in organic acids (KYS-2, 8.105 ng µl-1; KRK, 1.939 ng µl-1) and amino acids (KYS-2, 32.99 nmol µl-1; KNY, 15.65 nmol µl-1) content was observed. C18:2n6 and C18:1n9 were the most predominant fatty acids in the seeds, whereas C16:1n7 was the least abundant. Considering the mineral contents, seeds were relatively rich in potassium (2560.3-6697.5 mg kg-1), phosphorus (529.8-1120,9 mg kg-1), and magnesium (426- 1124,5 mg kg-1). Moreover, the path diagram of phytochemical properties, nutritional value, and fatty acid content of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seeds was determined. Consequently, the seeds of pumpkin cultivars were examined to find the best potential for a high nutritional value and contribution to the food industry.

Abstract
The dust produced by the electric arc method in the ferrochrome factory contains high amounts of hexavalent chromium, which has a high solubility in water and causes high environmental pollution. The present research has proposed a new method for neutralization of hexavalent chromium present in ferrochrome dust in solution environment by using chemical precipitation method. After checking conventional and non-conventional additives for neutralization by co-precipitation method, Iron sulfate is added to the aforementioned wastewater before release into the environment as a reducing agent of hexavalent chromium to trivalent chromium. Next, calcium sulfate was used as a stable complex forming factor in the system to remove chromium. XRD and XRF analyzes were used to characterize the dust and UV-Visible to determine the amount of chromium removed from the wastewater. The results showed that for 100 g/l of dust dissolved in water, adding 30 g of iron sulfate in the first stage and 20 g of calcium sulfate in the second stage reduces the content of hexavalent chromium from high values to below 10 ppm. Easy, high speed, cheapness and availability of additives are the merits of this method.

Abstract
Aims: Fatalistic employees take serious risks because they have limited knowledge of risks and accidents, leading them to under estimate the possibility of their occurrence. This research examined the effectiveness of safety training on changing employees’ fatalism with attention to the mediating role of attitude toward safety issues. Methods: 204 employees was selected according to the stratified random sampling method in Isfahan Steel Company, divided randomly into control group (n=103) and experimental group (n=101) and the questionnaires of safety attitude and fatalism were applied as data collection instruments. The data was collected before intervention, and educational intervention was then executed in four 90-minute sessions over four days. One month after intervention, post-test was performed and the collected data was analyzed using descriptive indexes, t- and F-tests. Findings: Results show that there was a significant statistical difference in average numbers of attitude toward safety issues and fatalism before and after training intervention (p<0.01). Also, mediation analysis indicated attitude toward safety issues mediated the effect of safety trainings on fatalism (p>0.05). Therefore, safety training only by promoting workers’ safety attitudes can change the fatalistic beliefs among employees. Conclusion: By understanding relationship between fatalism and safety attitude, it should be possible to improve the training of employees, such that are less likely to attribute accidents to chance or fate.

Abstract
This paper examines the Quranic Iltifāt in the light of the structure of discourse information (SDI). The question is that how can Iltifat be justified through SDI? Firstly, it is referred to the literature review as well as the definition, categories and the kinds of Iltifat. Secondly SDI, topicalization, topic maintenance and point of view/focalization are analyzed. It seems that, through SDI, God turns the message into a new way (Iltifat) and gives it in a new package. This then results in the reader's empathy, which may change through the shift of point of view, hence, a change in Iltifat. Finally, the main findings read as follows: 1) in Iltifat, the reader receives information/ Quranic message in a new package via SDI, 2) Iltifat can be justified through topicalization and topic maintenance, 3) Iltifat is the innovatory use of language rather than a grammatical error, and 4) Iltifat and its kinds underscore the here and now of the Quranic oral discourse as well as the active role of the reader as the God's present audience.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to assess the effect of dung beetles on sheep dung removal and seed dispersal in semi steppe rangelands of Shahrekord province with poor condition located in Iran. Therefore, the large (1 cm2) and small size (1 mm2) meshes were used and filled by sheep dung in six treatments. To evaluate the role of the insects in seeds translocation, three sizes of plastic beads used as seed mimic. The results illustrated that the maximum function of the insect was observed in the possible treatment of the presence of dwellers, absent of large tuneller and large roller beetles and present of small tuneller and small roller beetles. The least dung removal was calculated in the control treatment and possible treatment of dwellers, large and small tunneler and also absent of large rollers and presence of small rollers respectively. Seed removal decreased in the order of small size (29) > medium size (5) > large size (2). In general, dung beetles play an important role in dung removal and secondary seed dispersal, but their function relates depended on habitat condition. In a degraded ecosystem, this insect will disappear. Considering the various factors affecting the function of these insects, further studies would be needed for investigating deeply different seasons and dung of different livestock feeding on the rangelands.

Abstract
Aim: It has been shown that workers who had previously been involved in a work accident had significantly lower situation awareness scores than those who had not had an accident in the workplace. In this study, we examined the role of stress, sleep loss and fatigue in predicting situation awareness among workers.
Methods: The current study was a cross-sectional study. The sample consisting of 180 employees in National Petrochemical Company in 2014 was selected according to the stratified random sampling method. They responded to questionnaires about work situation awareness, work stress, sleep loss and fatigue. The data were analyzed by correlation techniques and stepwise regression.
Findings: The results showed a significant internal correlation among work stress, sleep loss and fatigue, and work situation awareness. Also the results of stepwise regression analysis showed that sleep loss, fatigue and stress predicted, respectively, almost 25%, 23% and 21% of variances of work situation awareness among workers.
Conclusion: The variables of stress, sleep loss and fatigue could predict work situation awareness. Therefore, these variables can be important to promoting the awareness of work situation among workers

Intertextuality of two text: Comparative analysis between king Lear and Feridoon
Comparative study which has opened to investigation the text could illuminate the relationship between cultures and shows the originality and richness of one literature alongside with range of its stubbornness of our or other culture. Comparative analysis between Feridoon’s tragedy and King Lear shows the interlocking relationship and arrangement between two texts in different and completely dissimilar culture and different historical context with two kind of language.
Although mapping out the conscious or unconscious trace and impact of this texts over each other is completely impossible but the high level of intersexuality between the two texts is obvious so that this relationship could not be ignored. “similarity of plot”, “being tragically”, “impulses”, “familiarity of two text”, “dividing of kingdom”, “presence of destiny”, “parallel of characters”, “conflict”, “prediction”, “chorus” could be accepted as issues which are convinced common points between the two text. The analysis and survey toward understanding the equivalent between the two texts by helping of comparative literature is the fundamental question which has been followed by this paper.

Abstract
One of the most important characteristics of Iranian paintings is their connection and unity with Persian literature, which resulted in the formation of common language and similar subjects in these two art fields. However, since the Zands Dynasty, especially their late era, a certain divergence occurred between painting and poetry due to the weakness of literature and the fact that the painters were more influenced by the European art. While focusing on the benchmarks of the poems of the return era, and the Royal Court portrait paintings, this study strives to examine the common aesthetic connection between these two fields of art through performing historical, descriptive, analytical and comparative study, and achieve the response to this question that Which factors were effective in the formation and flourishing of the literature and painting during the reign of Fath Ali Shah Qajar and how and to what extent are their common aesthetic links? The painting and poetry of this era managed to achieve flourishing thanks to the supports granted by an art-lover king, i.e. Fath Ali Shah Qajar. Due to the policies of the Shah during his 37-year reign against the arts, a suitable basis was provided for the alignment of these two fields of art in a new and different manner (notwithstanding the occurred divergence) so that the painters act independently in choosing their subjects, and do not refer to poetry so often, while trying to take benefit from poetical descriptions and literature aesthetic criteria, and represent the same through a human-oriented vision.

Abstract
The white cheese has high percentage of fat, (saturated and cholesterol) which is not desirable from human health point of view. The aim of this study was to produce low cholesterol white cheese (Feta) by the substitution of milk fat with sunflower oil (S.O) and determine its effects on the chemical, microbial and sensory parameters of the white cheese. For this S.O (1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 percent) and monoglyceried stearat as emulsifier (5percent) were added to the milk containing (0.05, 1 and 2 percent fat). The chemical, microbial and sensory tests were done on the samples. The fatty acids profile and the cholesterol were also determined (GC). The results showed that by addition of the S.O, cholesterol and saturated fatty acids (SFAs) were reduced and the percent of unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs) increased significantly (p<0.05). In cheese samples with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 percents of S.O, the amount of cholesterol reduced from 115.1 to 66.2, 29.1 and 18.8 milligrams respectively and the percents of the reduction of SFAs were 43.2, 30.2 and 16.7 milligrams. The amounts of the USFAs increased significantly (p<0.05) in compare with the control. In sensory evaluation tests the samples with 1.5 and 2.5 percents of S.O preferred in acceptance by panels. The samples with 3.5 percent S.O had significant differences (P<0.05) in sensory properties with the other samples. The ratio of 1:2.5 (milk fat: S.O) was the proper substitution ratio which on that the amount of cholesterol and SFAs were reduced about 59 and 75 percents in the samples with the 29.1 and 30.2 milligram cholesterol and SFAs to compare with the control and the percent of USFAs increased from 27.3 to 68.3.

Abstract
Spinach is one of the most important leafy vegetables of chenopodiaceae family. This plant is native to Iran and has valuable nutrients. In this research mineral element content (like potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, cupper, zinc), protein, total fiber, total fat, oxalic acid, phenolic compounds and fatty acids of seven Iranian spinach cultivars (Arak, Khorram Abad, Shirvan, Bojnourd, Karaj, Varamin and Lahijan) were analyzed and compared. Results showed that Arak cultivar had the highest amount of potassium, calcium and copper; Lahijan cultivar had the highest amount of magnesium and protein, Varamin cultivar had the highest amount of phosphorous, zinc, fiber and fat, Khorram Abad cultvar had the highest amount of iron. The lowest amount of oxalic acid was determined in Karaj and Lahijan cultivars (53.8 mg/ 100 g of fresh weight). Phenolic compounds had significant difference and cultivar Shirvan had the the highest amount of these compounds (110 mg Tanic Acid/gdw). The highest percentage of linolenic acid (ω3) and linoleic acid (ω6) were belonged to the Arak and Lahijan cultivars, respectively. Therefore Iranian spinach cultivars have considerable amount of minerals, fiber, protein, phenolic compounds, essential fatty acids (linolenic acid (ω3) and linoleic acid (ω6) and should be used in diet programs.

Abstract
Adequate calcium ( Ca ) intake during the crucial growing years maximizes peak bone mass and thus delays the onset of osteoporosis later in life. In addition, Ca plays a protective role against essential hypertension and colorectal cancer. Dairy products, a naturally rich Ca source, are the major source of Ca in our diet. However many people avoid consuming milk, because of economical problems and who are lactose intolerant. For these people, Cafortified nondairy foods can be a significant source of Ca. A number of foods, including bread, staple food, can be fortified with Ca. In this study, formulation and production of fortified Barbari bread with different Ca sources was investigated. In order to, different kind of Barbari breads were prepared with flour fortified with two food-grade inorganic Ca sources such as Ca carbonate and Ca sulfate. Ca was added to flour at two levels: 500 and 1000 mg/ 100 g of flour. one bread was also prepared using ordinary flour. Results of Farinograph and Extensograph tests indicated strength of dough. Results of Farinograph test indicated that the percent of absorbed water, dough development time, dough stability and valorimeter value will increase by adding Ca, while the degree of dough softening in 10 and 20 minates, will reduce. Also atomic absorption spectrophotometry test showed that retaining of Ca in breads was significant ( P< 0.01).CaCO3 and CaSO4 are preffered sources of Ca for the fortification of cereal-based foods as they had no adverse affect on bread quality but CaCO3 is higher in Ca than CaSO4. It is also less expensive. For these reasons, Ca carbonate is a preffered Ca source for fortifying bread.

Abstract
The commonalities and continuation of some mythological archetypes and concepts in an individual, racial and human being collective unconsciousness is the principal criterion for the use of mythological criticism in recalling and analyzing various manifestations of myth and rituals in literary genres. According to mythological criticism, some important points are revealed in Attar’s Tazkart-al awliya. For instance if we take structuralism approach to the story of Ebrahim Adham and his son and compare the elements of this story with famous narratives on “father-son” battle, we can conclude that this story is designed based on the narrative of “Rostam and Sohrab”.

Abstract
The effects of dietary nucleotide at 5 levels of 0.0% (Control), 0.15%, 0.25%, 0.35% and 0.5% on the body composition and fatty acids of the grouper, Epinepheluscoioides, with initial weight of 10.70 ± 0.29 g was investigated for a period of 10 weeks. The results indicated improvedgrowth parameters uponadding nucleotide. The best value of growth parameters were observed at nucleotide level of 0.35% that statistically showed higher values for final weight, weight gain andcondition factor than other treatments (P<0.05).There was nosignificant differenceinsurvival(P>0.05). The 0.35% nucleotide level also resulted in a better fatty acids profile, including EPA, EPA+DHA and n-3 than the control. However, 0.5% nucleotide showed significantly higher saturated fatty acids, MUFA and n3/n6 than the control. No significant differences were observed in arachidonic acid and DHA among the treatments (P>0.05). Chemical analysis showed the highest muscle protein in 0.15% and the highest muscle fat in 0.15 and 0.25 treatments, which were significantly higher (P<0.05) than the control group. The results of this study showed that dietary nucleotide has positive effects on growth performance and fatty acid profile of the grouper and the 0.35% level had a better performance.

Abstract
The present study investigateeffect of different dietary macronutrient composition on fatty acids profile, body fat and pancreatic lipase enzyme activity in Siberian sturgeon. A group of 180 Siberian sturgeons juvenile (initial weight, 30 ± 5 g) were used in this experiment and fed on four isoenergetic diets. Diets were named LP-St (low protein and high carbohydrate: lipid ratio), HP-St (high protein and high carbohydrate: lipid ratio), LP-L (low protein and low carbohydrate: lipid ratio) and HP-L (high protein and low carbohydrate: lipid ratio). Fish were fed apparent satiety for 10 weeks. The samples were obtained from body carcass and juveniles intestine. In this study, the same level of fish oil and sunflower oil were used as a source of diet lipid content. The HUFAs content in HP-St and LP-L diets were showed highest and lowest value, respectively. The results showed the body fatty acidsprofiles was significantly affected by fatty acids composition in diets (P < 0.5). Diets with high protein and high carbohydrates concentrated SFA and MUFA in fish carcass. Moreover, the PUFA content increased in sturgeon fed with high lipid diet. However,the results of this study showed the body lipid content wasaffected by total lipid content of diet and lipase activity decreased in Siberian sturgeon intestine fed on LP-L diet with lowest HUFA.

Abstract
The fatty acid composition and changes in silver carp fillet after flash frying, frozen storage and deep frying of was studied. For this purpose, fillets with edible coating and uncoated were tested. Fillets after flash frying for 30s, cooling, packaging and cooling were kept in freezer for three months, then deep fried. Flash frying and final deep frying increased the amount of total fat in fillets. The fat content of samples (5.07% at day 0) changed to 9.52 ± 1.97 and 7.54 ± 2.80 % after flash frying and to 9.33 ± 0.70 and 9.39 ± 0.24 % after final deep frying in uncoated and coated samples, respectively. Moisture content decreased after frying and increased after 3 months frozen storage (P<0.05). Twenty six saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were detected in samples. N-3/n-6 ratio was 3.37 in control samples. This ratio was 0.82 and 0.65 for uncoated and coated samples, respectively after flash frying and decreased to 0.66 and 0.28 after final deep frying. Atherogenic index (AI) and thrombosis index (TI) in day 90 after final deep frying in uncoated and coated treatments were 0.60, 0.53 and 0.57 and 0.69, respectively.

Abstract
Translation is one of the factors of the exchange of various dimensions of civilization, art, culture and literature and the cultural development of societies. It is always seen in terms of the differences in the components of the linguistic translation of texts, in particular literary texts, such as increasing, decreasing, changing the theme and structure. Hence, The critique of translation is one of the essential and important steps in improving the translation of texts and their evaluation. In this speech, the "Myth of the Moon Barry," the Arabic translation of the critique and evaluation of the story of "Samak Ayyar" by descriptive and analytical method has been criticized and evaluated using descriptive and analytical method and based on the theory of Nida. According to Nida's definition of the translation that finds the closest natural equivalent of the source language in the target language, and the division of the translations into a formal and dynamic translation, the "Myth of the Moon Barry" mythology can’t be regarded as a formal translation. The occurrence of mistakes in the equivalence of words, the removal and enhancement of the text, the change of words and the style and the structure of the original text show the translator has not been faithful to the source text in the translation of Samak-e-Ayar's story and has not done so accurately. Therefore, with tolerance, it should be classified as dynamic translations.

Abstract
In study of world epic, we see the stories on the battle of father and son's. In some of them father kills his son and in another the son kills his father but some have relies on the taste of reader and tries to show their champion to be alive. The similarities in these stories ask this question that if these contents have single origin or each story is vernacular for his country. This article studies the stories of "Rostam and Sohrab" and "Koroglou and Kordouglu", the Turkish epic. Multiple similarities in these stories inspire us that the source of Korouglu and Korluglu is Firdowsi's Shahnameh. The similarity of Plot, motifs , characters , and other properties highlight this fact.
