This paper addresses the post-war reconstruction experience of Qasr-e-Shirin, Iran, in the aftermath of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988). Compared with the war-damaged cities in southwest Iran, western cities such as Qasr-e-Shirin lack a post-war reconstruction assessment and documentation. With an objective view, the author aims at documenting the situation of the city almost thirty years after i...

BACKGROUND This study was conducted to explain the trend of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) in Kermanshah Province, western Iran from 1991-2012. METHODS In this analytical-descriptive study, all of the patients suspected to CL in Kermanshah Province were studied. Smears were prepared from most of them, stained with Giemsa, and examined microscopically for Leishman bodies. A few of the patients w...

ρ(e)(x) = e · x A1 = x = 1X(x) for all g, h ∈ G and x ∈ X. Thus ρ(gh) = ρ(g) ◦ ρ(h), ρ(e) = 1X and ρ is hence a homomorphism of monoids G → M(X). Then we note 1X = ρ(e) = ρ(gg ) = ρ(g) ◦ ρ(g) and similarly 1X = ρ(g) ◦ ρ(g) and so the ρ(g) are bijections G → G for all g ∈ G. Thus ρ is a homomorphism G → Σ(X). Given a homomorphism λ : G → Σ(X), in order for it to be the action homomorphism of an ...

We are now ready to apply the theory of group actions we studied in the last section to study the general structure of finite groups. A key role is played by the p-subgroups of a group. We will see that the Sylow theory will give us a way to study a group “a prime at a time”. First we record a very important special case of group actions: Theorem 1.1 (p-group Actions). Let p be a prime. If P is...
