In recent decades, following the changes in attitudes to cultural heritage and its values, approaches of the cultural places management also been changed. A values-based approach as a current most preferred approach to heritage conservation that often called “value-led”planning or “value led conservation management”. Since to distinguish it from more traditional conservation management approaches we must know some features of value based management. This approach adopted and advocated by major conservation authorities,both at the national and international level and by major research and educational institutions such as Getty conservation institute, and some other organization and institutes like English heritage, Unesco, Heritage Lottery Fund and etc.
Reviewing international documents and related theories indicates that the value-based approach is, in many ways, a response to the recognition of the increasing complexity of heritage. It evolved in various parts of the world, for instance in Canada and the USA, and became better known through the Burra Charter, first developed by ICOMOS Australia in 1979 and subsequently updated in 1999 and 2013.The Charter promoted the assessment of the significance of a place–based on the values attributed by all stakeholders (not only by the experts) and the use of a Statement of “Significance” – that has been used to mean the overall importance of a site, determined through an analysis o f the totality of the values attributed to it. Significance also reflects
The importance a place has with respect to one or several of its values, and in relation to other comparable sites and as a basis for developing conservation and management strategies. Also best practice for heritage conservation planning in Canada and British Columbia follows a value-based approach to the stewardship and management of historic places. This approach allows the community to clearly articulate why historic places matter, and ensures confidence that identified heritage values remain for present and future generations.
After a short time this concept was developed by the work on Conservation Plans by James Kerr (1982). He brought a systematic approach to developing conservation and management plans based on values and more importantly, on the cultural significance of a heritage place to society. In the context of a value-based approach, through the concepts of stakeholder groups and values, community is considered to be placed at the core of management, so sometimes the values of different groups become incompatible and can make serious conflicts, but heritage professionals have been looking for ways to bring forth the views of all stakeholders and to resolve the conflicts that inevitably arise. In this changed environment, decisions about heritage need to be negotiated and the search is for an approach that assures equity, avoiding those in which the values that prevail belong to the group with the most political power. In value based management heritage is not self evident,with intrinsic/inherent values, as in a material-based or traditional approach; it is people / stakeholder groups that ascribe (subjective) values to it and define heritage, and thus heritage is seen as an extrinsic and social process.Therefore, the main purpose of this approach is to maintain significance and promote the values which attributed to the place by all community groups. This management process uses heritage values to guide decision making about historic places. Heritage values are defined as the historic, aesthetic, spiritual, social, cultural, and scientific significance or importance of a place for past, present, or future generations. When beginning a value-based management system, it is best to have an understanding of the heritage values of the community as a whole before trying to understand the significance of individual places. The context study develops this big-picture understanding of why citizens care about the character and identity of the community, and how that has been shaped over time.

After presenting theoretical basics of value-based management in international levels, a section of essay is about Islamic culture and its perspective on cultural heritage management to clarify the common points of national and interinternational theoretical basis and extracting cultural heritage value priorities. The Holy Qur'an as the main reference of the Muslims and the pursuit of all values in the Islamic society can be a reliable source for examining the past position, cultural heritage and its values, the way of management and policy making in Islamic culture. In Islamic society, all personal and social relations and the rules governing it directly or indirectly originate from the concepts of the Qur'an and are in fact the best reference for obtaining social values; Since there is a strong relationship between the policies of heritage conservation management and social values in each society, the important rule of the Holy Qur'an cannot be denied in violation of social values in Islamic societies. That’s the truth that there are no direct and explicit references to cultural heritage, priority of values and their role in policy making and management in the holy Quran, but it can be deduced from some analyzes that Mahdi Hojjat (one of the great experts of Iranian cultural heritage has) given to Quranic verses in this regard that they can be used to provide a conceptual framework for research.
However the holy Qur'an as the encyclopedia and the origins of the Islamic community values has repeatedly emphasized on the cultural heritage and its values indirectly as with the perception of some of its verses we can prioritize the values attributed to cultural heritage into three main categories : 1- sociocultural values 2- historical-documentary values and 3- Instrumental values. After After classifying values they can applied in setting the policy framework based on Islamic social values system. The reality is that, management in the Islamic society should be based on the requirements of the local community and respect for them and this is exactly in line with the same international principles that nowadays emphasized by the formulation of management and conservation programs based on the partnership and needs of all stakeholders and the local community.
This paper seeks to develop a conceptual framework for value-based management through providing the whole process of management plan as a tool for value-based management. It can be achieved by reviewing international documents, operational guidelines of Institutions on the one hand, and the related theories and Islamic culture on the other, So based on research goals, the qualitative research methodology is chosen and with applying logical reasoning strategy as well as ‘content analysis’ and ‘logical inference. According to value-based management conceptual framework in this paper, significance that includes tangible and intangible values of the heritage, introduced as the core of proposed framework;to maintain the significance of place,three Steps should be considered: 1- Understanding the place 2- Developing policies and 3- Management. This process realized by participation of all conservationists, local communities and stakeholders. Finally, according to research studies and conceptual model, this article provides a general process for the management of cultural and historical places based on values-led approach.

Different attitudes in to the subject of translation have led to appearance of several topics in its extent, each of which has expanded the science of translation in different points of view and provided the grounds for its conversion into a separate field, entitled "translation studies". Among the many topics in this field, this article reviews the history of translation of the Holy Quran in terms of distinguishing between viewpoint and theory. In this regard, the issue of research is: what kind of view on the matter of translation is shown in the historical course of translation of the Qur'an? Studies on the evolution of the history of translations from the beginning of Islamic history to contemporary era, especially in Persian translations of the Holy Quran, shows that according to the definition of "translation theory", what happened in the history of translation of the Qur'an is more view pointing rather than a theoretical perspective. Of course, the existence of some successful theorizing in the historical course of the translation of Quran cannot and should not be ignored.

Aims: Dynamic cultural World Heritage Sites, as irreplaceable resources with tangible and intangible dimensions, have been shaped by a result of the processes of sociocultural production and experiences in the temporal and spatial context and are going through a series of changes over time. The main purpose of this research is assessing the state of conservation of dynamic cultural World Heritage Sites, which is one of the most fundamental issues in the World Heritage monitoring process.
Instrument & Methods: This study elaborates on applied-developed research methods, using an analytical descriptive method in two sections. The theoretical section is based on the logical reasoning method and technique of content analysis and logical inference; and the practical section is based on the survey method and analytic hierarchy process technique.
Findings: Achieving the effective assessment for the state of conservation of dynamic cultural World Heritage Site is based on two substantial criteria: 1) “securing and conveying cultural significance of the heritage site” with the sub-criteria of “integrity” and “authenticity”; 2) “heritage site experience” with the sub-criteria of “perception of cultural significance” and “experience of authenticity”.
Conclusion: The results show that the “sense of place attachment” indicator is the most important factor in assessing the state of conservation. And periodic use of this proposed model in the monitoring process provides a coherent platform for measuring the efficiency of the study heritage site management system. The developed framework might be used by Tehran Beautification Organization and Tehran Municipality in culturally-rich sites of Tehran.

The present Research has surveyed the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran vis-à-vis the Republic of Azerbaijan. Based on some of the most important geographical and geopolitical realities that exist between the two states, by presenting one main question and two hypotheses, used as guide into a thorough geopolitical assessment of the issue. Based on the findings, we come to this conclusion that the none-cordial disposition of the Republic of Azerbaijan towards Iran, and some of the uncharted pasturings and unspecified strategies by the Islamic Republic of Iran render ineffective so many positively positoned areas of common geographical and/or geopolitical interests such as territorial contiguity, common religious tendency (both Shiite), common ethnicity, common economic interests (agricultural and irrigation possibilities), common cultural and historical backgrounds. Unfortunately, the continued policies between the two states have further made all these possibilities to render ineffective. The main outcome of the research shows that some of the issue are resultant from a suspected nationalistic disposition on the part of the Iranians; and similarly, a persistent attitude of none cordiality from the Azeris. Moreover, the Republic of Azerbaijan has yet to present a logical and pragmatic reason to explain its negative diplomatic strategy against the Islamic Republic of Iran That could justify its distrustful policy towards iran. The research consequently has proposed the following general aims and strategies to be implemented in Iran’s faring policy towards the Republic of Azerbaijan: General aim: the faring policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in relation to the Republic of Azerbaijan is determined by geographical and geopolitical realities that exist between the two states. Strategy: to develop mutual relations based on the need for neighborly dispositions, to understand the geopolitical dictates of time and space, common national interests and aims,economic cooperation,and to explore other avenues that would develop mutual trust in order to broaden cooperation between the two states.

Rice bran sterols have antioxidant activity as well as physiological and biological effects. Because of these benefits, the aim of this study is evaluating the quantity and quality of Iranian rice bran sterols. Three widespread Iranian rice cultivars (Khazar, Hashemi, and Alikazemi) were used for determination of their sterol contents. Two methods of sample preparation were compared and the better one was used in this work. Rice bran samples were saponified directly after acid hydrolysis. Unsaponified materials were extracted, purified by solid phase extraction, silylated, and their sterol fractions determined by GC-MS. The sterol composition (in mg kg-1 bran) of three cultivars (Khazar, Alikazemi, and Hashemi) were 1,330.69, 1,279.95, 1,313.17 β-sitosterol; 747.52, 696.05, 756.8 campesterol; 112.8, 115.36, 114.24 Δ-5-avenasterol, 38.912, 33.08, 38.24 Δ-7-avenasterol; 8.05, 7.07, 7.56c holesterol; 4.20, 3.99, 4.23 brassicasterol; and 2,722.016, 2,706.176, 2,717.68 total sterols, respectively. The results showed that there were no significant differences between the individual and total sterol contents of these three cultivars (P> 0.05), except campesterol, β-sitosterol, and Δ-7-avenasterol. The highest and lowest sterols were ß-sitosterol and campesterol.

 The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of enterococci isolated from traditional Lighvan cheese on the quality of Iranian UF white during ripening. Four samples of cheese were provided from four different cheese production units in Lighvan region. Strains of enterococci in these samples were isolated by standard microbiological methods and selective medium of Kanamycin Esclin Azide Agar and then identified by biochemical methods. In the second stage of research, the effect of adding isolated enterococci in traditional Lighvan cheese on the quality of Iranian UF white cheese was investigated in a 60-day period. Addition of Enterococcus spp. did not significantly (P> 0.01) affect the pH and percentage of pH 4.6-Soluble nitrogen/total nitrogen. In the cheese produced with E. faecalis and E. faecium strains, lipolysis rate was higher and flavor properties were improved. Moreover, results of measuring percentage of soluble nitrogen at pH 4.6 and urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated an increase in proteolysis rate in the cheese containing E. faecalis and E. faecium strains compared to the control cheese. Furthermore, the highest percentage of non- protein nitrogen was observed in the cheese containing E. faecium. In conclusion, the results showed the positive effect of the E. faecalis and E. faecium on secondary proteolysis during ripening. The proteolytic activity displayed by some enterococcal strains may contribute to cheese ripening and flavor development. Because of these interesting metabolic traits, enterococci have been proposed as part of defined starter culture combination for UF white cheeses.

This research is investigating one of the most common types of postmodernism fictions named metafiction. This kind of writing including self-referential and disclosure techniques not only exposes fiction but also explores the word out of context. Patricia Waugh emphasizes on this kind of writing with using methods and techniques that metafiction’s writers used it to write a story about story. This paper is based on reviewing and criticizing a fictional work and it is written according to the library method. This research with scrutiny about metafiction’s general characteristics like: centrality of language, Framework, The story as an artifact, parody and ontological Metafiction’s nature, proceeding some writing techniques and methods that are hidden within this general component's. Then it criticizes Iranian metafictions. It has been concluded that the works that are described in the name of Metafiction in our country are far from the postmodernism’s escape, and precisely based on predetermined criteria and parameters, and the artificial and mechanical aspects of these stories conflict with the normal nature of postmodernism.

Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) is an edible oil extracted from industrial wastes of pomegranate processing presented a wide range of biological effects because of its high punicic acid and polyphenolic compounds. Due to its low solubility and high oxidation sensitivity, nanoemulsion (NE)-based delivery systems are recommended to use this oil in the food and beverage industries.  NEs can be fabricated from high-energy or low-energy methods, which each have advantages and limitations. In this study, we compared a high-energy method (sonication) with a low-energy method (spontaneous emulsification) to form PSO NEs based on mixed non-ionic surfactants (Span 80, Tween 80). The effect of surfactant concentration on NE droplet size showed that both methods were able to produce emulsions with ultrafine droplets (d < 150 nm), but the low energy required higher surfactant. Moreover, the effect of various storage temperatures (4, 25 and 55 ºC) on the physical stability of the selected NEs highlighted the stimulated droplets coalescences at higher temperature (55 ºC) leading to relatively unstable NEs in contrast to complete stable ones achieved at mild condition (4 ºC). Furthermore, the oxidative studying (30 days) showed that NE produced by high energy method was significantly (p<0.05) more sensitive compared to similar counterparts formed by low energy method.

In this research, response surface based on central composite design (3-factor 5-level) was applied to estimate the efficacy of independed variables on quality indexes (depended variables) of raw beet juice. Hence, the effect of different durations (20-100 min), temperatures (40-55 °C), and at various concentration level of pectinase (0.001-0.02 % v/v) on viscosity, color, turbidity and purity of sugar beet juice were investigated and successfully coordinated by a second-order polynomial model (R² > 0. 85). The experiments indicated that the temperature was the most important variable affecting the characteristics of the raw juice as it exposes a significant effect on the responses. The optimum enzymatic treatment condition from the study was at 0.012 % enzyme concentration at 49 ֯C for 65 min.

In this research, response surface methodology based on 3-factor 5-level central composite design was used to determine the effect of refining pretreatment variables on quality indexes of beet molasses. Hence, the effect of bentonite concentration (2-10 g/L), gelatin concentration (0.01-0.1 g/L) and pH (3-7) on turbidity, color, concentration of colloids (CCs) and ash of beet molasses were studied and well fitted by a quadratic polynomial model (R² > 0. 85). The results showed that the pH was the main factor affecting the purification indexes as it had a significant effect on all responses. Bentonite and gelatin as two common clarifying agents improved the quality of molasses, although the ability of bentonite was much higher. The optimum condition for purification pretreatment was found as 8.3 g/L for bentonite, 0.08 g/L for gelatin and 4.03 for pH which were determined on minimization of the turbidity, color, concentration of colloids (CCs) and ash. At this condition, the turbidity, color, ash and concentration of colloids were calculated as 12.1 NTU, 2573 IU, 2.7, 0.9 g/L respectively.

Nowadays, cinnamon essential oil has been considered as an antioxidant and antimicrobial activity for addition to food and biological systems. Directly use of these essential oil for food storage has some limitations due to low solubility in water, high vapor pressure and physical and chemical instability. One of the ways to reduce these limitations is the microencapsulation of essential oils in lipid carriers, including microcapsules. Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the encapsulation of cinnamon essential oil in microcapsules stabilized with sodium caseinate and β-cyclodextrin and also the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. In this study, in order to encapsulation, different formulations of nano emulsions containing cinnamon essential oil were prepared by ultrasound method and the effect of different polymers on droplet size, encapsulation efficiency, antioxidant properties and turbidity of nano emulsion were investigated. The results showed that the interaction of nano emulsions and encapsulated samples was effective on particle size (p <0.05). The diameters of sodium caseinate with β -cyclodextrin particles size ranged from 234 to 237 nm. Also, the diameter of the β -cyclodextrin particles in the range of 713-717 nm, and the diameter of the essential oil particles size in the range of 84-85 nm. Zeta potential was negative for sodium caseinate with β -cyclodextrin and essential oil. That showed the system had a significant negative charge. The effect of different polymers and essential oil on the encapsulation efficiency and antioxidant properties was significantly different. (P <0.05). The encapsulation efficiency of all formulations was above 70%. SEM-scanning showed homogeneous and spherical shapes with pores. FT-IR analysis confirmed the effect of van der waals forces in the formation of microcapsules.

The aim of the present research was to encapsulate cumin essential oil with phosphatidylcholine to overcome the fortification difficulties such as low water solubility and bioavailability and was protected umin essential oil from degradation in the presence of oxygen, light and temperatures. Cumin essential oil loaded nanophytosome (60 mg phosphatidylcholine- 30 mg cumin essential oil) was prepared by thin layer hydration method. Physicochemical properties of nanophytosome such as particle size, polydispersity index, encapsulation efficiency turbidity and zeta potential were investigated. Cumin essential oil nanophytosome showed excellent characteristics i.e. sub 100 nm particle sizes, low size distribution (PDI<0.3). and encapsulation efficiency 94/46 %. The turbidity of cumin essential oil loaded nanophytosome were remained unchanged and ζ-potential changed from +9 mV in blank nanophytosome to -19 mV in cumin essential oil loaded nanophytosome. The release rate increased gradually by increasing time. About 60% of free cumin essential oil were released in phoshphat buffer during 6 houre while 50 % of encapsulated cumin essential oil were released during 24 houre. In vitro release of essential oil was followed an exponential equation (first order Q (t) = a· (1-exp (-k·t))). This study indicates that the release of bioactive compounds from liposomes can be reduced by capsulated with phosphatidylcholine, allowing an application of with a nanophytosome controlled release of Cumin essential oil in water-based foods.
