feminist thought has always challenged the islamic viewpoint. a majority of feminists believe that ‘family,’ is a source of oppression against women, and is essentially, the main way of reproducing male dominance. part of the feminist argumentation, highlights itself through the form of criticism of western political customs, especially in the liberal debate of ‘public order’. in this debate, l...

people usually associate power with military force, multinational corporations, as well as ele-vated political positions. however, marriage and family are not exempted from power strug-gles too; couples often encounter power issues. present article discusses power in families with focussing on power between married partners or conjugal power.the paper also high-lights some of the questions like...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a rare congenital disorder arising from deficient development of ectoderm-derived structures including skin, nails, glands and teeth. The phenotype of HED is associated with mutation in EDA, EDAR, EDARADD and NEMO genes, all of them disruptingNF-κB signaling cascade necessary for initiation, formation and differentiation in the embryo and adult. ...

The incidence of pre-lingual hearing loss (HL) is about 1 in 1000 neonates. More than 60% of cases are inherited. Non-syndromic HL (NSHL) is extremely heterogeneous: more than 130 loci have been identified so far. The most common form of NSHL is the autosomal recessive form (ARNSHL). In this study, a cohort of 36 big ARNSHL pedigrees with 4 or more patients from 7 provinces of Iran was investig...

autosomal dominant congenital cataract (adcc) is the most common form of inherited cataracts and accounts for one-third of congenital cataracts. heterozygous null mutations in the crystallin genes are the major cause of the adcc. this study aims to detect the mutational spectrum of four crystallin genes, cryba1/a3 , crybb1 , crybb2 and crygd in an iranian family. genomic dna was isolated from w...

Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...

The S100 proteins comprise at least 25 members, forming the largest group of EF-hand signalling proteins in humans. Although the proteins are expressed in many tissues, each S100 protein has generally been shown to have a preference for expression in one particular tissue or cell type. Three-dimensional structures of several S100 family members have shown that the proteins assume a dimeric stru...
