WHO-ILAR COPCORD Study (stage 1, Urban Study) in Sanandaj, Iran
Clinical Rheumatology, 2015Co-Authors: Nasrin Moghimi, Fereydoun Davatchi, Ezat Rahimi, Afshin Saidi, Naser Rashadmanesh, Solmaz Moghimi, Hoshyar Ghafori, Peiman Zandi, Negin AhmadiAbstract:This Study aims to conduct an Urban Community Oriented Program for Control Of Rheumatic Diseases (COPCORD) Study in Sanandaj (Kurdistan, Iran). Sanandaj with a population of 311,446 (2006 census), Caucasian of Kurdish subgroup, was selected as the field. Sanandaj was divided into 100 clusters and subjects were randomly selected from them (50 subjects from each cluster). The COPCORD Study started on July 2011 and ended on June 2012. Of the households, 1,631 was visited and 5,830 persons were interviewed. The male to female ratio was 0.8–1 (44.5 % males, 55.5 % females). Musculoskeletal complaints during the past 7 days were detected in 42.8 % of the interviewed subjects (36.3 % males, 48.1 % females). The distribution was 16.7 % shoulder, 10 % wrist, 9.7 % hands and fingers, 7.7 % hip, 26.3 % knee, 9.9 % ankle, 6.4 % toes, 9.5 % cervical spine, and 21.5 % dorsal and lumbar spine. Degenerative joint diseases were detected in 19.4 % of the subjects: 1.8 % neck, 18.9 % knee, 3.9 % hands, and 0.51 % hip. Low back pain was detected in 16.5 %, sciatica in 1.2 %, cervical nerve root pain in 0.24 %, and soft tissue rheumatism in 5.5 %. Inflammatory disorders were 0.51 % rheumatoid arthritis, 0.22 % seronegative spondyloarthropathy, 0.10 % ankylosing spondylitis, 0.05 % systemic lupus erythematosus, and 0.10 % Behcet’s disease . Fibromyalgia was detected in 0.62 % and gout in 0.12 % of the studied population. Disability was reported by 28.3 %. It was present at the Study time in 21.4 %. Comparing the four COPCORD studies of Iran, the figures (numbers) obtained by COPCORD Sanandaj are much the same as the COPCORD Study in Tehran. Joint complaints were seen less frequently than in the COPCORD Urban Study of Zahedan and rural Study of Tuyserkan. Osteoarthritis was higher than in Tehran, but the same as the two others. Soft tissue rheumatism was rather the same. Rheumatoid arthritis was higher than Tehran and Tuyserkan, but lower than Zahedan.

Effect of ethnic origin (Caucasians versus Turks) on the prevalence of rheumatic diseases: a WHO-ILAR COPCORD Urban Study in Iran
Clinical Rheumatology, 2009Co-Authors: Fereydoun Davatchi, Ahmad-reza Jamshidi, Arash Tehrani Banihashemi, Jaleh Gholami, Mohammad Hossein Forouzanfar, Massoomeh Akhlaghi, Mojgan Barghamdi, Elham Noorolahzadeh, Ali-reza Khabazi, Mansour SalesiAbstract:The objective of this Study was to compare the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints and rheumatic disorders in Caucasians and Turks in an identical environment. Subjects were selected randomly for an interview from Tehran’s 22 districts. The Community Oriented Program for Control of Rheumatic Diseases questionnaire was filled in, positive cases were examined, and if needed, laboratory or X-ray tests were performed. A total of 4,096 houses were visited, and 10,291 persons were interviewed. They were 71.4% Caucasians and 23.1% Turks with similar distribution of age and gender. Musculoskeletal complaints of the past 7 days were detected in 40.8% of Caucasians and 45.5% of Turks ( p

Subjects were randomly selected from the 22 districts. Interviews were conducted once a week, on the weekend. The 3 phases of stage 1 were done on the same day, in parallel, like the fast-track Community Oriented Program for Control of Rheumatic Diseases (COPCORD). ### Results Four thousand ninety-six houses were visited and 10,291 persons were interviewed. Musculoskeletal complaints during the past 7 days were detected in 41.9% of the interviewed subjects. The distribution was: shoulder 14.5%, wrist 10%, hands and fingers 9.4%, hip 7.1%, knee 25.5%, ankle 9.8%, toes 6.1%, cervical spine 13.4%, and dorsal and lumbar spine 21.7%. Degenerative joint diseases were detected in 16.6% of subjects: cervical spondylosis 1.8%, knee osteoarthritis (OA) 15.3%, hand OA 2.9%, and hip OA 0.32%. Low back pain was detected in 15.4% and soft tissue rheumatism in 4.6%. Inflammatory disorders were rheumatoid arthritis 0.33%, seronegative spondyloarthropathies 0.23%, ankylosing spondylitis 0.12%, systemic lupus erythematosus 0.04%, and Behcet’s disease 0.08%.

evaluating sponge city volume capture ratio at the catchment scale using swmm
Journal of Environmental Management, 2019Co-Authors: Mark Randall, Fubao Sun, Yongyong Zhang, Marina Bergen JensenAbstract:Abstract China has begun a rapid move towards Sponge City implementation, which will include widespread installation of various Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater infrastructure. Ambitious goals have been set for all Sponge Cities, including a target capture rate of 80–85% of annual precipitation in Beijing. However, there has so far been limited investigation into whether these goals are obtainable at the catchment scale given the physical restrictions of the existing Urban landscape. This paper demonstrates the use of long-term continuous hydrologic modelling to evaluate the potential of meeting rainfall capture goals over a long time period for a case Study area in Beijing. Detailed land cover classification derived from satellite imagery aided in the parameterization of a SWMM (Stormwater Management Model) model representing a 133 km2 Urban Study area. The calibrated and validated model demonstrated satisfactory agreement between computed and observed runoff for a variety of precipitation events ranging from 10 to 207 mm. A synthetic high resolution rainfall time series was generated from historic daily observations then used as input to run the model continuously for a 35 year period. Feasible LID model scenarios based on varying degrees of implementation of rain gardens, permeable pavements and green roofs were compared in terms of their potential volume capture of annual rainfall. Modelling results demonstrated that the conversion of 30% of roof area to green roof, 10% of green areas to rain gardens and 35% of paved areas to permeable pavement could increase the baseline volume capture ratio from 59.9% to 82.2%, indicating that Sponge City goals can be met within the case Study area with realistic levels of LID implementation. This Study provides a decision-making basis for future planning in the Study area.

Landscape and Environmental Education in Brazil. Impressions of students at the “Professora Didi Andrade” Municipal College - Itabira / Brazil
Field Actions Science Reports. The journal of field actions, 2011Co-Authors: Diogo Jorge Da Silva Oliveira, Helder De Moraes Pinto, Renata Pires BarbosaAbstract:This work is the result of the "Landscape Observation" Environmental Education project carried out with students from Brazilian Basic Education. Part of this project was an Urban Study aimed at analyzing landscape alterations through visits to two strategic points in the city of Itabira: the "Pico do Amor" and the "Morro da Pousada". At these points it is possible to observe numerous details of the consequences of mineral exploration in the areas surrounding the city. By placing an emphasis on the critical gaze as a means for students to interpret the current situation, this work discusses the environmental relationships that individuals have with nature.
