The Mythical Conceptualization of Animal Figures in Kashan Carpets and the Shahnameh of Tahmasp from the Safavid Period (10th–11th century AH / 16th–17th century CE) within the Fra... by Elaheh Panjehbashi, Negar Najibi

“…This study applies a qualitative, historical-analytical method with a comparative approach. The findings reveal that the Safavid rulers attempted to reinterpret and recontextualize animal myths by incorporating them into various art forms such as manuscript illumination and carpet weaving, thereby embedding them within the structures of political power.Accordingly, the use of similar animal motifs in the Kashan carpets and the Shahnameh of Tahmasp can be seen as a deliberate engagement with mythological narratives to produce and reproduce essentialist notions of Safavid political legitimacy. …”

Contact Lenses in Pediatric Ophthalmological Practice by E. Yu. Markova, E. A. Perfilyeva

“…The contact lenses use for medical indications has a number of advantages over another more traditional method of vision correction — glasses. Rational correction of the most common refractive error — myopia with the help of CL helps normalize accommodation, convergence, reduce the risk of complications associated with the myopia’s progression, helps to slow down the processes of eyeball’s elongation by reducing the peripheral defocus, and during the period of functional formation of the visual organ (up to 15 years) helps to form binocular and stereoscopic vision. …”
