The Impact

<p>The development of industrial areas in villages can have many positive socio-economic effects. Results of studies indicate an improvement in the living conditions of villagers after the establishment of industrial areas in villages. Establishment of industrial estates in different provinces of the country has been followed by numerous environmental, economic, social, and physical effects on the region, especially the rural community. Thus, the present study seeks to do a case study concerning the effects of Binaloud Industrial Estate on the sustainability of rural settlements in Ahmadabad district of Mashhad city while considering the place and importance of industrial estates in rural areas. This research is an applied study in terms of purpose, whose results can be used in planning. For measuring the effects of industrial estates, three economic, social and environmental dimensions have been taken into account, which have been evaluated by multiple questions in the questionnaire. Thus, of 58 villages existing in Ahmadabad district of Mashhad city where Binaloud Industrial Estate has been located (research statistical population), 42 villages were selected. To determine the number of sample villages, demographic factor (villages with more than 100 inhabitants) was used. Then, considering the factor of distance dimension and access to Binaloud Industrial Estate, 10 villages were selected out of 42 villages and were used as the population of the research sample. Based on Cochran formula, unlimited population size is used to determine the sample size. Accordingly, the sample size was obtained to be 279. The sample size of each village has been calculated with regard to the proportion of the size of households in each village. In order to compare the average of respondents’ opinions regarding the effect of industrial estates on the sustainability of rural settlements, comparison of the average of this variable (including three economic, social and environmental dimensions) was done with the aid of t-test with number 3 (medium), whose results indicated that p-value divided by 2 of this test is lower than 0.05 and t-statistic is positive (16.732). Hence, it can be concluded that the creation of industrial estates is effective in the sustainability of rural settlements; that is, the research hypothesis is approved with 95% confidence. Ultimately, the impact of the industrial estate on the studied villages is greater in the social and economic dimensions, and in the environmental dimension, the industrial estate has had a significant impact on only 3 villages (Avareshk, Seidabad and Fakhr Davoud). </p>

The Impact

e15032 Background: The 1997 IGCCCG Consensus classification provides clinicians with enough information to efficiently choose between treatment options for most GCT patients. Nevertheless, therapy is ineffective in 5-10% of cases (even more in less developed countries), and about the same numbers experience severe side effects. This exploratory study aims to assess the impact of more rigorous and detailed pathology examination on improving the assignation of these patients to prognostic groups and, consequently, making optimal therapeutic decisions. Methods: Predefined features were reviewed on histology slides from 39 GCT patients followed-up for a median of 48.28 months. We designed a uniform pathology protocol, focused on identifying potential new prognostic factors. Categorical and continuous variables were quantified using light microscopy and computer-aided morphometry and, due to the small sample size, their statistical correlation was analyzed by exact tests and Spearman’s rho, respectively. Significant (2-sided p-value <0.05, under sample size reserve) coefficient values were entered in hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Results: Favorable IGCCCG group, presence of seminoma, glandular tissue pattern, presence and histoarchitecture of lymphocytic infiltrate associated better survival rates and lower risk of progression. Invasion of the epididymis and spermatic cord, presence of teratoma, choriocarcinoma and yolk-sac elements, papillary pattern and cell pleomorphism predicted poorer outcomes. HCA yielded 2 significantly distinct patient groups in terms of overall survival (p=0.018) and time to progression (p=0.080), but not disease-free survival (p=0.614). Conclusions: Quantification of tumor subtypes and other histology features of GCTs (e.g. necrosis, tissue patterns, inflammation) is feasible and, if standardized, may prove useful in optimal selection of risk groups, when performed by an experienced pathologist.

The Impact

The amount of water consumed in the agricultural sector in Iran is higher than the global average and this necessitates more attention to proper water management in this sector. Due to the climatic conditions of Iran, the average rainfall in most areas is lower than global rainfall. That is to say, the water issue is one of Iran's most important concerns or the greatest challenge for the people of this land. Examining the current agricultural situation indicates that despite the increased agricultural production potential due to the lack of a proper management system, optimal utilization of available resources has not become possible and droughts and reduced rainfall and increasing population followed reduce the amount of water consumed in the agricultural sector. The present study investigates the impact of agricultural water resources management on the economic development of rural settlements (Case study: Villages of Zebarkhan district of Neyshabur city). This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of descriptive and analytical method and library and field methods have been used for data collection. According to the results of the present study and data analysis regarding the amount of water consumed in the study area, it was observed that the amount of water consumed per hectare for all crops in modern management lands was less than the fields where managed by the traditional way. This suggests that modern science-based scientific management has played a key role in reducing the loss of water resources within the scope of this study, and in contrast, water loss in farms that are managed in traditional ways is so high. Also, regarding the production efficiency in the study area, the results showed that the production efficiency per hectare for all crops was significantly higher than that under traditional management. This rate varied between 25 to 57.1%.
