The vulnerability of women heading households both at the individual and community levels can lead to decreased quality of life of women. Pressure caused by the single-headed life leads to reduced quality of life. Identifying problems and obstacles in the lives of head women is important in the effective control of problems. The aim of this study was to determine the four dimensions of quality of life of Women heading households Welfare Organization in the province of Tehran.
In the present descriptive-analytical study, 180 female heads of households were selected from Welfare Organization in the province of Tehran using sample size formula to estimate ratio of the phenomenon and multi-stage allocated random sampling method. The World Health Organization's quality of life questionnaire was used to gather information. The data was analyzed using the statistical software SPSS (15) at the significant level of 0.05 and descriptive (mean, standard deviation, absolute frequency, relative frequency) and analytical methods (Chi-square test, Spearman correlation co-efficient, Kruskal-wallis and ANOVA).
Mean and standard deviation of age was 43.39±8.83 and duration of householder was less than five years. Quality of life in the studied women was moderate. The highest mean score was (50.35) related to the physical aspect, and the lowest mean was (37.82) related to the environmental aspect. There were significant relationships between quality of life and marital status (p=.019), duration of householder (p=.039), duration of employment (p=.02) and wages (p=.002).
The quality of life of the studied women is not desirable, and design of appropriate interventions to improve their quality of life will be necessary.

Introduction and due to the lack of enough research on the biological effects of ALA on diabetes on the one hand, and due to the lack of any study carried out in Iran on the relationship between the amount of ALA and the possibility of suffering from Diabetes 2, the present study is an attempt to perform a systematic review on cohort studies.
in this study, some search engines such as PUB MED, Scopus, and Science Direct were used to investigate cohort studies in adults. Furthermore, in order to support the results of the systematic review, a manual review was done where the references of the existing articles were checked. In case of finding any related article, it was also used in this study.
among those studies where ALA erythrocyte membrane phospholipid and plasma Cholesterol esters were measured, in three ones, there was an opposite relationship between the increasing amount of ALA and the possibility of suffering from Diabetes but in two other studies, no significant relationship was seen. Moreover, there was no significant relationship between the possibility of suffering of Diabetes and dieting measures. Even in one study, it was seen that the increase of ALA dieting measures increased the possibility of Diabetes.
the present results show that fish usage might have a slight positive relationship with Diabetes 2 but more ALA usage decreases the possibility of suffering from this disease.

Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a promising method for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Photocatalytic oxidation process, despite its advantages, has disadvantages such as deactivation of photocatalyst. The deactivated photocatalyst can be active through thermal abatement, ozonation, exposure with clean air and UV radiation.
In this paper, the deactivated TiO2 and ZnO catalysts were exposed to clean air flow and UV radiation for 6, 12 and 24 hours. After exposure, the efficiency of reactivated catalysts in photocatalytic oxidation of chloroform was examined.
The results showed that clean air flow and UV radiation can be active the deactivated catalysts. The highest and lowest removal efficiency of chloroform by reactivated catalyst was an average of about 34.50 and 10.50%, respectively. The maximum and minimum rate of activation were 34.50% and 10.50%, respectively.
The rate of activation was a function of exposure time with pure air and UV radiation. The maximum of activation achieved after 24 hour exposure.

Emotional intelligence is the capacity of people to learn skills and depression is a psychological reaction against biological stress. The academic success of students is an important issue in higher education. The purpose of this study was to determine relationship between emotional intelligence with depression and academic achievement among paramedic students in Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2014-2015.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 238 students. Sampling method was census. The data collection tool were a specifications form, and Bradbury-Graves emotional intelligence and Beck standard questionnaires. Data were analyzed in SPSS (15) software by using descriptive and analytical tests.
The average of age was about 22.5 years. 82.8 percent were Single and 67.2% were female. 66% were in B.S degree, 58.8 % were not dormitory and 49.2%were in semester two. 1.7% had a history of probation. Average of Last semester mean score was17.8, mean of emotional intelligence score was 86.81 (moderate) and mean of depression score was 11.35 (a little depressed).There were significant relationships between emotional intelligence with depression (p= 0.004) and academic achievement(p = 0.044).
Emotional intelligence score were weak or very weak in 28.1% of the students and 47.9% were depressed to some degree. Last semester mean score was less than 16 in 35.3%. 1.7% of them hah probation background. Emotional intelligence agent is more effectives for the promoting academic achievement. As well as to reduce the depression should be considered to increase emotional intelligence in students.

Crystal meth addiction is one of the important social problems in modern society. The aim of this study was survey of knowledge and attitude of Ilam University of medical sciences students about Crystal meth in 2014
this cross sectional study cared out through 200 Ilam University of Medical Sciences students (120 females and 80 males) in 2014. The data were collected by questionnaire that contains demographic, knowledge and attitude question about crystal meth abusing. After collecting and classified of the data, the data were analyzed by SPSS software.
The mean of age of subjects was 22.62 that in the present study, 18.5 % of them had weak knowledge, 60 % had moderate knowledge and 21.5% had strong knowledge about crystal meth and also 38 % had weak attitude, 8.5 percent had middle attitude and 53.5 % had strong attitude. According to the results, the knowledge score in male students was higher than females (males: 32.01, females: 29.35). Also the mean of score of attitude in both groups of males and females was almost the same, (Males: 66.78, females: 66.05). 0.5% (one present) of participants had experience two times of consuming crystal meth.
According to the results, the knowledge of participant was weak. So it seems that doing educational programs is necessary to increasing knowledge and improving the attitude of young people about crystal meth.

Scaling and corrosion is one of the most important index in water quality evaluation. The objective of this study was to determine the corrosion and scaling potential of drinking water network in south of Shiraz city, Iran.
In this cross-sectional study, this network was divided into 9 sections and, regularly 3 samples from each section were taken. For this study, some important indexes about the corrosion and scaling such as, Langelier, Rayznr, Larson and Puckorius were considered. These indexes were calculated by using some parameters consists of temperature, Calcium hardness, alkalinity, Sulfate, Chloride, total dissolved solids, and pH in 2013.
The results showed that total hardness contents is very high in all of parts of the water distribution network in south of Shiraz city. The calculated results showed that the mean and standard deviation values of LSi, RSi, LS and PSi were equal to -0.46 ± 0.39, 7.4 ± 0.17, 1.3±0.15 and 7.15 ± 0.33, respectively.
The results showed that despite of the most of parameters in the study areas are in suitable status compared to the national standard but according to stability index the water network of south of Shiraz has a variable corrosion ratio from low to moderate.
