Abstract

Since arts normally have human sources, they are originally alike and have different forms. Therefore methods of representation in one media, with a little formal change, could be used for the other one. In this research after defining pun as a rhetoric device, its visual equivalents have been dealt with in the world of pictures and particularly in animation. Pun has been defined as: two words are same in form or pronunciation, and different in meaning. Pun is normally used in rhetoric for decoration and make the speech humorous. But in modern semiotic theories, it has been considered as: two similar signifiers with different signified. In this case one can consider two homogeneous visual signs which indicate two different meanings as a visual pun. For instance a picture of a man’s face and a picture of the moon both of which are round. By replacing word and picture we can define visual forms in animation field. In this paper we will offer methodized analysis from visual plays, which might be found heuristically in the artists works.

Abstract

So far several models have been proposed in order to systematically classify hero`s replicable life in heroic narratives around the world. These models, except for some few cases of difference, are very similar to each other. After the introduction and criticism of Hero patterns available, this study compares and contrasts the most famous and comprehensive ones as examples for Rustam`s life events. It shows that many parts of these patterns do not match with the most prominent representative of the idea of "world champion" and beyond that with the life structure of heroes Sam`s Clan and it is needed to design a native pattern to classify overall life structure of Iranian heroes. Therefore, the authors have determined the life structure of five first Iranian champions i.e. Garshasp, Nariman, Sam, Zal and Rustam and have shown their replicable parts. Accordingly, they have suggested a new pattern of Iranian heroes' life that consists of five distinct sections of characteristics of hero`s parents, amazing properties of the hero from birth and childhood, departure for battle, love and marriage, and finally guilt and death.

Abstract

از دیرباز اسطورۀ قهرمان یکی از مهم‌ترین مفاهیم داستان و روایت‌های حماسی سراسر جهان بوده است و تاکنون الگوهای متعدّدی برای زندگی تکرارپذیر قهرمان پیشنهاد شده است. یکی از این الگوها، الگوی «خودآگاهی در جنگل جهان زیرین» کلاریسا پینکولا استس است و هفت مرحله‌ دارد که عبارت‌اند از: معاملۀ کورکورانه ، قطع عضو، سرگردانی، کشف عشق در جهان زیرین ، شیار کشیدن روح ، قلمرو زن وحشی ، عروس و داماد وحشی . این پژوهش پس از معرّفی الگوی خودآگاهی در جنگل جهان زیرین، انتخاب نزدیک‌ترین افسانه‌ها به الگوی موردنظر و تقسیم آنها از نظر ساختار و محتوا به چهار گروه، نشان می‌دهد که این الگو با مراحل و مصداق‌های افسانه‌های ایرانی همخوانی مطلق ندارد. از این‌رو نگارندگان با درنظرگرفتن همۀ افسانه‌های انتخاب‌شده به‌عنوان روایت‌های متنوّع و متعدّد از یک ساختار واحد، به الگویی دست یافته‌اند که از نظر ساختار و محتوا، شباهت‌ها و تفاوت‌های بارزی با الگوی استس دارد. در الگوی پیشنهادشده، از نظر ساختار، نحوۀ تکرارپذیری برخی مراحل سفر زن-قهرمان با الگوی استس متفاوت است. از حیث محتوا نیز مضمون‌هایی مانند کودک، معاملۀ کورکورانه و قطع عضو، در افسانه‌های ایرانی نمود اندکی دارد، محتوای مرحلۀ «عروس و داماد وحشی و قلمرو زن وحشی» نیز بسیار گسترده‌تر از محتوای قصّه و الگوی استس است.

Abstract

Shahnameh position experienced many ups and downs in last century among the people. During the Reza Shah this literary text used as a supporter for his nationalist policies. They took some of patriotically verses to promote a sense of nationalism among people. Aalso during the second Pahlavi Shahnameh used to showcase the grandeur of ancient Iran and its traditions for other countries and civilizations. Nearly can be said they took advantage of Shahnameh in all national celebrations and festivals. For this reason, people from the people that were not aware of the Shahnameh truth were away from the Shahnameh gradually. They also saw the Shahnameh as one of the royal Instruments and should be considered outcasts.
On the other hand, replacing rreligious ideas instead of nationalist ideas as well as migration of some eminent researchers of Shahnameh Led the literary text is more unkindly. In this study, we will discuss this issues.

Abstract

Research subject: Polypropylene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer that is used in a wide range of applications, including films and sheets, blow molding, injection molding, food packaging, textiles, laboratory and medical equipment, pipes, industrial and construction applications, and the manufacture of automotive components. In the applications of this polymer, improving the surface of PP has been considered. One of the usual methods for improving the surface is the cold plasma method. Plasma is a chemically highly active environment where there are many ions and radicals. In this research, atmospheric pressure gliding discharge plasma was used to increase the hydrophobicity of PP and the surface and depth changes of PP were investigated.
Research approach: The depth and surface changes of PP were investigated by radiating the gliding discharge plasma to the PP polymer surface at the different times. FTIR and XRD tests were performed to investigate volume changes and FESEM investigated the surface changes. The hydrophobicity of PP was investigated by contact angle (CA) test and positron lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) was used to investigate shallow depth changes.
Main results: The results show that the applied cold plasma did not cause volumetric changes in PP, but caused surface changes and roughness. In this polymer, the contact angle has increased from 30.1 ± 0.1 to 34.4 ± 0.1 and the hydrophobicity of the surface has increased. Examining the changes in holes by PALS test shows that after plasma irradiation the volume of the holes increased from 217 Å3 to 222 Å3 and their intensity decreased. This is due to the heat of the plasma and the energy of its particles.:
The results show that the cold plasma caused surface and depth changes and the contact angle increased from 30.1 ± 0.1 to 34.4 ± 0.1 and the hydrophobicity of the surface increased.

Abstract

Oral –formulaic composition (theory) has been originated from Homeric studies in Parry and Lord Works and is widely used in most languages. In the field of folk prose texts of Persian several researches have been conducted, all of which have addressed the issue of general stereotyped propositions. On the basis of these achievements, foreign scholars have considered Persian epic poems, particularly Shāhnameh, as a product of narrative and oral tradition. With a new look at narrative scrolls as oral epic texts, this article in addition to presenting their general propositions, introduces another type of proposition in the form of epic statements in three parts: a) Propositions indicating the beginning or entry to the scene of wrestling c) Propositions indicating the beginning of wrestling and C) Proposals indicating the end of wrestling that are presented and describe the function of each category. The paper concludes by proving that the scrolls and narrators of the manuscripts had in mind a treasure trove of these propositions and used them automatically when they thought of combat. Therefore, one can better understand the narrative structure of the Persian oral epic by using this method and extracting the assertions used in various martial art.

Abstract

Critical realism,as a branch of the literary school of realism,seeks to convey objective and accurate experiences of reality to the reader by looking at the social problems of man in the new age,and to criticize the prevailing situation in society with a reformist attitude. Samuel Shimon In his first novel,“An Iraqi in Paris”,was able to gain a special place in the field of fiction in Arabic literature;Reza Ghasemi is one of the most prominent novelists of Persian literature that wrote the novel“Nocturnal Harmony”.Both novels reflect the realities of their society and the phenomenon of migration.The purpose of this study is investigate the harmful challenges of the migration phenomenon.In this research,by examining the components of immigration literature from the perspective of critical realism based on description and analysis in the context of the American comparative school, two novels are examined.The results of the research show:Doubt in the basis of insider culture and cultural contradiction in the novel"Nocturnal Harmony"is more prominent than the novel"An Iraqi in Paris" but this is manifested in both novels in the form of alienation.In both novels, critically reviewing the past,while criticizing the political and social conditions prevailing in their society,the way of teaching some religious and cultural teachings has also been criticized.The challenges of immigration are manifested in both novels in the form of disappearance,identity crisis, homelessness and insecurity,but the author has a positive view of the future in the novel"An Iraqi in Paris",but in the novel" Nocturnal Harmony"the authorchr('39')s view is hopeless.

Abstract

The mythological analysis of the roles of the heroes in the stories reveals new facts about the human institution and its interests and aspirations. The heroine in the form of a mythical representation is one of the most important types of mythological cognition in ancient societies of maternal descent, which is of great value in historical, literary, psychological and mythological research. In this article, the importance of women and their special role in the formation of mythological narratives as well as its connection with the structures of nature, ie water, soil, plants and trees ... are criticized. The purpose of this study is to study, critique and analyze the mythology of the heroine in two mythical narratives of Tiamat, Marduk, Shahnavaz, Arnavaz and Fereydoun based on Raglen theory. In this article, the authors have tried to deal with the mythical critique and comparative interpretation of the archetype of the heroine in two mythological narratives "Tiamat-Marduk" and "Shahnaz-Arnavaz and Fereydoun" and also to point out the common connection between these two narratives with the structures of nature The following results indicate that in both narrations, the female heroes: Tiamat in the myths of Mesopotamia and Shahnaz and Arnavaz in the myths of Iran are the gods of water and in fact the eternal mothers from whom the creation of all living beings takes place. The role of the male god in the form of Fereydoun and Marduk has a lesser appearance. What is tangible and visible in both narrations

Abstract

Neurological diseases such as cancer, damage blood brain barrier and consequently cause more permeability in tissues. In general if there is damage to the brain tissues, the contrast agent used in MRI, diffuses outside the capillaries and the MRI picture brightness changes. The purpose of this paper is to show the effects of different parameters on the contrast agent diffusion in the brain capillary. In this study, the lattice Boltzmann method with multi-relaxation time (MRT) is used to simulate the flow in the capillary and porous media around it. The results show that the porosity in extravascular tissues (it shows the tissue damage), the kind of contrast agent and capillaries curvature have impact on the contrast agent diffusion in the tissues. The presented results show the effects of curvature on shear stress and thus on mass transfer in the capillary. It should be noted that the presented results have been evaluated by previous statistical and analytical results for flow in the damaged brain capillary with different permeability. It has been shown that the lattice Boltzmann method is able to simulate the complex problems especially in porous media.

Abstract

One of the important features of the Constitutional revolution's literature is the linguistic and literally violence. This feature is seen in two fields: Intergroup and Extergroup. The first relates to internal disputes between literatures and the second is related to literary disputes with those in power of in society, both clerics and politicians. The essence of this violence is rooted in political turmoil in this period of contemporary Iranian history. This violence often originates from social issues not individual ones. As well as its field of publications is public newspapers. Improvisation and informality are other characteristic of this literature. An analytical study of these literary works reveals that there are several motives for their emergence: Political differences, Competitions for social status, Weaknesses in literary language, highlighting the moral weaknesses of the competitor. The socio-political reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: Political instability and the prevalence of the chaos, and insist on prejudice and disregard for the principle of tolerance.
Extended Abstract
Arrogance and harsh language are one of the main characteristics of the literature of the constitutional era. This amount of political sarcasm and sharp language is unique in the history of Iran. In other words, in no period of Iran's literary history has there been so much foul language that originated and was motivated by the world of politics. In fact, the literature of this era has a violent and warm nature and follows fast and emotional movements and is more in favor of revolution and rebellion than it is willing to restore and reform gradually. This extreme emotionalism unintentionally makes the language of the writer of this era sharp and fearless and makes him realize the destructive power of language. Thus, in the constitutional era, the element of satire is highlighted in its most reckless form. This is the manifestation of what should be called linguistic violence. The violence that is a symbol of the inner turmoil and the endless impatience that burns the writers of this period in its fire, blocks the way to any gradual reform or toleration of the opposing voice, and it is not satisfied except to destroy the previous constructions and try to build a new building.
Questions:
In analyzing the phenomenon of obscenity and understanding the motivations for its prevalence in this period, we will seek answers to the following questions: 1- What are the areas of occurrence of obscenity in constitutional literature? 2- What are the characteristics and motivations of obscenity in constitutional literature? 3- What are the social and political causes of profanity in constitutional literature?

Theoretical Framework:
The theoretical framework of this research is the theory of short-term society, which tries to explain the relationship between the state and the nation and other social aspects from the perspective of historical sociology. Based on the comparative study of Iranian and European tradition, this theory points out the important differences between these two cultures. Although this theory has not been formulated specifically in the field of literature, but considering the capacities that exist in this theory and also due to the deep connection between literature and politics in Iranian society, it can be used in this interdisciplinary research.
Fields: Obscenity in the literature of the constitutional era can be analyzed in two areas. The inner field means the conflicts of the writers towards each other and the outer field means the taunts and obscenities of the writers to the people of politics and religion and what is related to social issues.
Attributes: The main characteristics of this phenomenon in the constitutional era are: 1- Using it as a tool of political struggle. 2- Changing the media. 3- Informal literature.
Motives: The obscene motivations of writers in this era can be listed as follows: 1- Difference in political views. 2- Competition for popular popularity. 3- Weak and weak literature. 4- The moral vices of the speaker and the audience.
The social and political causes of the prevalence of this phenomenon from the perspective of short-term society theory:
In expressing the social and political causes of this type of literature, different causes should be mentioned; Including political instability and successive social crises, society's misunderstanding of concepts such as freedom and law, which ultimately leads to chaos in society. Abandoning tolerance and insisting on prejudice that narrows the field for rational interaction and acceptance of the opposite.

Abstract

The variation of wall shear stress (WSS) in the microvessels may damage the endothelial layers. It also changes the mass diffusion and sediment and may be considered as an important factor in the formation of the fatty plaques and causing heart disease. According to the importance of the issue, the aim of this paper is to study the effective parameters on the wall shear stress in microvessels. In this paper, the hybrid method, combined lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary methods is used to simulate the red blood cell (RBC) motion in the plasma flow. It should be mentioned that red blood cell has significant effect on WSS, in this regard; the present results show that the blood rheological behavior has the important effect on WSS. The results also demonstrate the effect of stenosis severity and RBC location in different regions on wall shear stress and consequently causing heart, coronary disease. It should be noted that the presented results have been evaluated by previous numerical results for microvessels and the results show the ability of lattice Boltzmann method to simulate complex problems especially for modeling the deformable solid objects suspended in the fluid.

Abstract

With the occurrence of the Constitutional Revolution, the discussion on the necessity of cultural transformation and the revitalization of literary renovation flourished. One of the important aspects of this discussion was determining the relationship between ancient Iranian literature and the new situation. The modernists of this era viewed literary tradition as sterile and stagnant, seeking to destroy it instead of attempting to reinterpret it. On the other hand, traditionalists took a worshipful approach to tradition, condemning any critique of classical tradition. In this article, after providing a historical overview, the critical aspects of the modernist approach to classical tradition are listed. These aspects include the outdated language, elitism, narrow and regional perspectives, inability to address the requirements and needs of the new world, justifying authoritarian power, neglecting the social function of literature, and non-revolutionary and accommodative nature. Subsequently, this destructive perspective is analyzed from the perspective of short-term society theory. This analysis reveals that the merciless critique of the modernists is an expression of their disregard for the necessity of capital accumulation, while also highlighting the absence of the concept of critique and its vital role in cultural development and progress. Furthermore, these critics paid no attention to the nature of the authoritarian government, for which no alternative was conceivable, and they were oblivious to the key role of power institutions in the cultural life of society.

Introduction
One of the questions that emerged alongside the Constitutional Revolution in the cultural scene of Iran was the discussion on the necessity of renewal. One important aspect of this debate was determining the relationship between ancient Iranian literature and the new context. A significant group of modernists believed that the ancient literary tradition was stagnant and that preserving it was futile. On the other hand, traditionalists adopted a reverential perspective that rejected any criticism of classical tradition.
Questions: In the sociological analysis of the conflict between reformists and traditionalists in the Constitutional Era, we will seek answers to the following questions. 1- What are the main criticisms of the modernist movement towards classical tradition? 2- What are the main characteristics of this conflict from the perspective of the short-term society theory?
Theoretical Framework
The theoretical framework of this research is the theory of short-term society, which tries to explain the relationship between the state and the nation and other social aspects from the perspective of historical sociology. Based on the comparative study of Iranian and European tradition, this theory points out the important differences between these two cultures. Although this theory has not been formulated specifically in the field of literature, but considering the capacities that exist in this theory and also due to the deep connection between literature and politics in Iranian society, it can be used in this interdisciplinary research.
The main criticisms towards classical tradition
The main chapters of the critique of modernists on classical tradition can be summarized as follows: 1- outdated language. 2- elitist and anti-populist literature. 3- having limited and local concerns. 4- vulnerability to new paradigms. 5- disregard for the social role of literature. 6- enhancement of authoritarianism.
Analysis from the perspective of theory
The analysis of this subject from the perspective of the short-term society theory demonstrates the following aspects:  1- The destruction of tradition and the problem of capital accumulation deficiency: The radical modernists failed to acknowledge that renewal could only be logical if it first embraced a peaceful coexistence with tradition and gradually constructed a new aesthetic system. 2- Lack of the concept of critique. 3- Disregard for the nature of authoritarian governance. 4- Neglect of the economic dependence of literature on power institutions.
