The Ilam Formation in southwestern KhorramAbad with a thickness of up to 204 meters consists of invariable limestones with Middle Turonian to Early Campanian age which were deposited in a continues sedimentation process. In this section, the Ilam Formation has continues and transitional contacts with the Sourgah Formation in the lower boundary and the Gurpi Formation in the upper boundary. In the present study, 9 geniuses, 30 species and 2 bio-zones of the planktonic foraminifers are recognized. The Ilam Formation in studied section consists of a shaly facies and three carbonatic microfacies include mudstone, wackestone and packstone that containing planktonic foraminifers. Shaly facies and reminded microfacies were deposited in deep-open marine, which formed in a quiet environmental condition and increased environmental energy in microfacies with mudstone texture toward microfacies with wackestone and packstone textures. Whereas in the studied section recognize microfacies are not related to parts of continental shelf, like; bar, lagoon and tidal flat, therefore we can say, the studied area was part of profound depositional basin in Middle Turonian to Early Campanian.

Abstract\nA sensitive differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetric method for the determination of bromethalin with universal buffer solution was described. The method was based on the adsorptive accumulation of bromethalin at. The cyclic voltammograms demonstrate the adsorption of this compound at the mercury electrode. A systematic study of various operational parameters that affect the stripping response was carried out by DP-AdSV with accumulation potential of-0.30V and accumulation time 80 sec. From the calibration method, it is observed that the peak height vs concentration plot is found to be linear over the concentration range of 1.0 x 10-5 M to 1.0 x10-10 M with lower detection limits of 1.09x 10-10 M. The relative standard deviation and correlation coefficients are found to be 1.25%, 0.996 respectively for 10 replicates.

Slum becomes the biggest challenge for the developing countries, including in the case of metropolitan cities in Indonesia. The objective of this study was to evaluate and analyze the implementation of slum settlement program in Makassar Metropolitan City. The research method used in this study was sequential explanatory, combining sequential quantitative and qualitative research methods. We found that management slum program, which is dominant in infrastructure development without integrating it with social empowerment, economic empowerment, strengthening institutional capacity of the government and the community, tend to be less effective in achieving program targets. Programs that are carried out comprehensively and involving cross-sectors as a whole system and supported by stakeholder involvement will encourage sustainable development to the quality improvement of the slum environment. This article offers a model and concept for the integration of slum settlement program to be applied in metropolitan cities in the developing countries to achieve sustainable development.

Overweight, obesity and psychiatric disorders are part of the main health problems in the world. Bertholletia excelsa is a natural alternative used by population worldwide to control body weight and due to its central nervous system depressant-like effects. However, there is not enough preclinical and/or clinical data to support its efficacy and safety. The aim of the study was to obtain evidence of the neuropharmacological effects of B. excelsa seeds oil (SBHX) after acute administration and on the overweight after chronic administration in mice fed a hypercaloric diet. For this, mice receiving high caloric diet and different doses of SBHX were assessed in the open field, hole-board, and plus-maze tests; as well as the sodium pentobarbital-induced potentiation of the hypnotic-like effects, nociceptive behavior induced with formalin and PTZ-induced tonic-clonic seizures. Chronic administration for 40 days was continued to determine intake of water and food and changes in the weight. Testis, epidydimal white adipose tissue and liver were dissected to analyze fat content, triglycerides and cholesterol, and histological effects. As a result, SBHX produced anxiolytic, sedative and analgesic-like effects. A facilitation on allosteric GABA agonists or an antagonist was evidenced. Whereas, an opioid participation at central level was also observed in the antinociceptive response of SBHX. Tissues maintained their morphological integrity but in a significant manner decrease the weight of mice without alteration in the water or food consumption. In conclusion, our data give evidence and support properties attributed to this product as a natural alternative for a global health problem like overweight associated to a favorable depressant activity of the CNS likely mediated by opioids and GABAergic neurotransmission.
