The precise monitoring of engineering structures is always one of the most important issues in engineering science.Monitoring engineering structures using traditional methods is very costly.Due to the high spatial resolution and low cost, radar acquisitions are considered as one of the most important tools for monitoring engineering structures. In this paper, the 3D displacement field of the Droodzan damwas calculated using radar acquisitions and geodetic data. Then, using existing observations and artificial neural network algorithm, the Dam deformation was predicted at a point until 2023.The correlation coefficients between the prediction model and the results obtained from the integration method for this point forthree dimensionswere 0.64-0.62 -0.77.RMSE of results for dimensions was obtained 7.87-8.54-5.12 mm. These results represent a good correlation between the predicted model and the results obtained from the integration method.

Earth's atmosphere has a series of layers, each with its own specific traits. Moving upward from ground level, these layers are named the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The exosphere gradually fades away into the realm of interplanetary space. The troposphere is the lowest layer of our atmosphere. Starting at ground level, it extends upward to about 10 km above sea level. Humans live in the troposphere layer, and nearly all weather occurs in this layer and affects their activities. Ninety nine percent of the water vapor in the atmosphere is found in the troposphere; therefore most clouds appear in this layer. Air pressure and temperature drops in the troposphere with height. The tropospheric path delay is one the main error sources in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) such as Global Positioning System (GPS) observations and reduces the accuracy of GNSS point positioning. Accurate estimation of tropospheric path delay in GNSS signals is necessary for positioning and also its meteorological applications. The tropospheric delay is divided into the dry (hydrostatic) and wet (non-hydrostatic) parts. The dry tropospheric delay depends on the pressure variations between satellite and station on the Earth’s surface and can be determined accurately using experimental models. The wet delay can be determined by subtracting the dry delay from the total GPS derived delay. In this paper the efficiency of 3D ray tracing in increasing the accuracy of point positioning is investigated. The 3D ray tracing technique based on Eikonal equation is the strongest and newest ray tracing method. These equations are solved in order to get the ray path and the optical path length. The Eikonal equation itself is the solution of the so-called Helmholtz equation with respect to electro-magnetic waves. In this method the ray paths are not limited to a certain azimuthally fixed vertical plane. In 2D methods the ray paths are forced to stay within a vertical plane of constant azimuth. European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) is currently publishing ERA-I, a global reanalysis of the meteorological data. This reanalysis provides values of several meteorological parameters on a global gride ∼75 km. The vertical stratification is described on 37 pressure levels. Tropospheric corrections were calculated using 3D ray tracing, 2D ray tracing and Saastamoinen methods in Tabriz and Abarkuh stations using ERA-I meteorological parameters. These corrections were applied to the GPS observations and the stations coordinate were computed. Furthermore, these stations coordinates were determined twice using Bernese GPS processing software, one time the tropospheric delay was not canceled from observations and second time it was considered as unknown parameter and evaluated with stations coordinates. The result of this process was considered as a reference to evaluate the three prescribed correction methods. These comparisons indicate that the correction computed from 3D ray tracing is more efficient than that of 2D ray tracing and Saastamoinen model corrections. Also the correction amount in Tabriz station is meaningful with respect to Abarkuh station, which can be attributed to small variations of water vapor in Abarkuh station.

The Earth’s atmosphere can be described by a model of layers. Although there are also horizontal gradients of the meteorological parameters, it is sufficient for a general model to divide the atmosphere into a vertical layer structure since the vertical gradients of the meteorological parameters are significantly larger than the horizontal ones. Furthermore due to the influence of the gravity the regional horizontal differences become smoothed out towards higher altitudes. The atmosphere can be divided into the troposphere, the stratosphere, the mesosphere, the thermosphere and the exosphere. The tropospheric path delay is one the errors in GNSS observations and reduces the accuracy of GNSS positioning. Accurate estimation of tropospheric path delay in GNSS signals is necessary for meteorological applications. The tropospheric delay is divided into the dry and wet parts. The dry tropospheric delay depends on the pressure variations between satellite and Earth’s surface and can be determined accurately using the Saastamoinen and Hopfield models. The wet delay can be determined by subtracting the dry delay from the total GPS derived delayIn this paper the effect of radiosonde and ERA-Interim data in increasing the accuracy of positioning is compared. European center for medium range weather forecasting (ECMWF) is currently publishing ERA-I, a global reanalysis of the data. This reanalysis provides values of several meteorological parameters on a global ∼75 km. The vertical stratification is described on 37 pressure levels. The piecewise-linear (PWL) is a simple and powerful 2D ray tracing technique which is fast and accurate in processing. The refined piecewise-linear (RPWL) technique is another 2D ray tracing technique. The 3D ray tracing technique based on Eikonal equation is the strongest and newest ray tracing method. These equations are solved in order to get the ray path and the optical path length. The Eikonal equation itself is the solution of the so-called Helmholtz equation with respect to electro-magnetic waves. In this method the ray paths are not limited to a certain azimuthally fixed vertical plane. Tropospheric corrections were calculated using both types of data using 3-D ray tracing method in Bandar Abbas and Birjand stations. The station coordinates were determined using two 1-the tropospheric error was considered as unknown, 2-this error was not considered. Then tropospheric corrections obtained from ray tracing method was applied to the GPS observations and positioning was done. The Bernese GPS software version 5.2 has been used to process the GPS data. It performs ionosphere-free linear combination equation of dual frequency GPS observations from each site within the regional network. The ZTD was calculated using this software including raw data from the GPS observation network and the ZHD was calculated according to the Saastamoinen model. The results indicate the importance of tropospheric correction in precise positioning. In addition, these results indicate that the results obtained using radiosonde corrections in Bandar Abbas are more accurate than the results obtained using ERA-Interim data. Although the results of two types of data in Birjand station do not have much difference. This can be attributed to small variations of water vapor and other atmospheric parameters in Birjand station.

Topography is usually resulted from the patterns of the plate tectonics and faults in relation to each other. If we can produce a model for these actions and reactions after the complete recognition of the fault charactersitics based on their slip rates in the considered region, an applied model is obtained which reconstructs the topography of the region. A more important fact is that this model which illustrates the relation between topography (as the super-structure) and faults interaction of the considered region (as the infra-structure), can be used as a criterion to recognize the undiscovered fault's structures of the study area. It can provide us a chance to determine the fault parameters such as slip rates. Iran is known as an area which is subjected to the high possibility of the earthquakes as a natural hazard. Thus earthquake studies are important to investigate this hazard. In this study, a model of the topography is constructed in the region which is prone to earthquakes. The model is compared with the digital terrain models (DTM) of the area resulted from the satellite image data sets. This comparison provides us a structural control on the faults of the region. Our case study is modeling the relationship between faulting and the topography in the North Alborz. Results of the study let us obtain criteria for understanding and prediction of the fault structures that have created the topography. In order to achieve this goal, we consider a DTM of Alborz region. With variation of the parameters of the faults and creating various fault models, an estimate of the elevation model of the region is constructed for the life time of the faults. We consider the variation domains for five parameters of the activity period, slope, horizontal slip rates in length and slope directions and the vertical slip rate of the main faults of the region. The optimum values of these parameters are obtained based on the neural network optimization method. Then, the topography of the region is modeled based on the numerical results of the method for the unknown fault parametrs. We use the algorithm of the method with some selected variation ranges for the values of the parameters for each selected fault of the region. For the slope parameter of the faults, a range of 30 to 90 degrees, for the horizontal slip rate on the length direction and the slope direction of the fault, a range of -3 to mm per year and for the vertical slip rate, a range of -0.5 to mm per year have been considered as variation ranges of the unknown parameters in the algorithm. These variation ranges are considered based on the previous studies on geodynamic setting of the region. The parameters of the nine main acitive faults in the North Alborz region make the assumed fault system of the region and the modeled topography of the region to be generated. Comparison of the modeled topography with the real elevation model of the region can be evaluated as how changing the data of fault parameters and the possible reconfiguration of these parameters, such as the slip rate, time activity and the slope fault can obtain more suitable results in the modeling. In other words, the method can be used to determine which configuration and fault structure in study region will lead us to a more consistent model and provides us the possibility of modeling the topography of the region based on the fault structures. The numerical results show the differences from -85 m to 236 m between the model result and the real elevation model. In addition, the root mean square error between the DTM and the model is 61.1 m which is an acceptable result, due to the fact that only five parameters are variable and just nine faults are calculated while ignoring the effects of erosion and sedimentation of soil in the final format of the earth topography. More accurate results can be obtained by increasing the number of faults and their parameters in the model.

The main limitation of radar interferometry in measuring ground displacements is due to phase propagation delays caused by the troposphere. Tropospheric water vapor is a major limitation for high precision Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)applications. Using global meteorological reanalysis models and MERISdata are two methods that can be used for correcting the effects of the troposphere. The purpose of this study is comparison of these two methods. The MERIS instrument is located on the platform of ENVISAT satellite and measures reflected solar radiation. We adopt the use of data of this sensor for our study as MERIS provides a direct estimate of atmospheric water simultaneously with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) acquisition. ERA-Interim is a global atmospheric model computed by the ECMWF based on a 4D-Var assimilation of global surface and satellite meteorological data. This reanalysis provides values of several meteorological parameters on a global 70 km grid from 1989 to the present day, at 0 am, 6 am, 12 pm and 6 pm Universal Time Coordinated) UTC (daily. The vertical stratification is described on 37 pressure levels, densely spaced at low elevation (interval of 25 hPa), with the highest level around 50 km (1 hPa). For each acquisition date, we select the ERA-Interim and MERIS outputs that are of the closest time spans to the SAR acquisition time. A Kriging interpolation in the horizontal dimensions and a spline interpolation along altitude is then applied to produce a map of the predicted delay. Total delay maps at epoch of acquisitions are then combined by pairs to produce differential delay maps corresponding to each interferogram. The use of the precise formulation of the single path delay and of the profiles of temperature, water vapor and dry air partial pressure is of importance to compute an accurate delay function.We used the two ENVISAT radar acquisitions of a region in the north west of Iran. We calculated the displacement velocity field and we corrected it (by ERA-Interim and MERIS data) and then compared the results with reported displacement velocities of GPS stations. The RMSE of two methods were 1.84 mm and 2.37 mm. The maximum difference between two methods is about 7.7 mm. This difference could be due to the presence of cloudy pixels in the MERIS data. The minimum difference between two methods is about 0.3 mm. The reason for this difference is negligible horizontal changes in the tropospheric indicators. The results show that cloudy weather and changes in the troposphere indicators, are the most important factors in the accuracy of the results of the two methods.

The ultimate goal of geophysical observations is determining geological structures from the geophysical data which is very difficult due to the complex structure of the earth’s interior. Retrieving the parameters of a fault through a set of its deformation observations is called “geophysics’ inverse problem”. In this article، the Artificial Neural Network as an evolutionary method are applied to retrieve the Qeshm fault parameters. In this research، in order to estimate parameters of the fault causing the earthquake، Insar displacement observations of the earthquake occurred on The 2005 November 27 in Qeshm and also neural network have been used. Deploying this approach in co-seismic displacement field of Qeshm leaded to parameter estimation of the fault with a depth، length، widths، dip angle، strike، slip، of 6. 1 km، 7. 4 km، 4. 6 km، 42 degrees، 251 degrees and 88 cm، respectively. Maximum difference of the reconstructed displacement field based on the estimated parameters on displacement field obtained by Insar is demonstrated as large as 1 cm in vertical direction and 4 cm in north-south direction. The results indicate that the artificial neural networks are trusted approaches in parameter estimation of faults.

Today''s digital elevation models have many applications in various fields including engineering projects and management of natural resources and etc. One of these applications is a topographic correction in InSAR to find the amount and rate of displacements. The purpose of this paper is to compare the effects of two digital elevation models with a resolution of 30 m and 90 m in order to obtain displacement rates from radar images. Persist Scatterer and Small Baselines methods were used to compute the displacement rate in the region. Processing was performed with both models SRTM and ASTER. The maximum difference between the results from two elevation models is observed in areas with a high elevation difference. In both methods، the number of persist scatterers in the case of model ASTER is less than model SRTM. In areas with low elevation differences، the results of two elevation models are very similar to each other. But in areas with high topography، the low resolution elevation model does not have the ability to deliver results with appropriate accuracy. In PS method there are 0. 2 mm difference in maximum and 1. 1 mm in minimum of displacement rate field and in Small Baselines method، these rates were 4 and 1 mm respectively. In order to better evaluate the results، six points in the region were examined. The maximum difference between the results was 4 mm. This difference is significant at the ten percent level of confidence. As a result، in areas of high topography، it is necessary to use the more accurate digital elevation model to achieve higher accuracy.

Academic achievement has been one of the efficiency indexes of every educational system that is influenced by many factors. This study has been conducted with the aim of surveying the views of Lecturers’ and students at Rehabilitation College of Semnan University of Medical Sciences on the factors influencing students’ academic achievement.

In the current study, which is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytic one, a census method was employed and it was conducted in the academic years of 2012 and 2013. The participants of the study were 130 sophomore and higher level university students majoring in physiotherapy, occupational therapy speech therapy at Bsc level and as many as 40 Lecturers at the Rehabilitation College of Semnan University. For the purpose of data collection, a 25-item self-developed questionnaire on Likert scale was developed and its reliability and validity was confirmed.

Among the five areas surveyed in the study based on the perspective of Lecturers and students, factors related to student (4.43±0.49) and (4.17±0.52) received the highest scores. Meanwhile, the lecturers assigned the lowest score to family factors (3.53± 0.53) and students scored facilities of the educational environment the lowest (3.84±0.90). A comparison of the views revealed that there is a significant difference between the lecturers and students’ perspectives on student (p=0.007), family (p=0/017) and socioeconomic factors (p=0.001). Like lecturers, the students perceived future job opportunity of the field, interest in the field and self-confidence as effective factors on academic achievement.

Considering learners and factors closely related to them as well as preparing grounds for increasing learners’ motivation, confidence and interest in the field have appreciable influence on learners’ academic achievement.

The objective structured clinical examination(OSCE) is one of the assessment tools of the final examination in clinical wards of Semnan University of Medical Sciences. The study set out to explore medical student and resident views about the quality of this exam. In this cross sectional study, a self administered questionnaire was completed by 132 medical students and residents who were assessed at least once by this examination. The outcome measures were student’s opinion about the quality of the exam, quality of the questions and the time for each station and their attitude about the exam as a whole. There was overwhelming acceptance of the OSCE among the residents in comparison to the students (p=0.034). With respect to the quality of the questions, also the residents of higher grades had a better view in comparison to the students (p=0.037) and with respect to the time for each station, the third grade residents had a better opinion (p<0.001). Concerns were expressed regarding the inadequacy of orientation sessions before the examination among the medical students. Student feedback is invaluable in influencing faculty teaching, curriculum direction and appreciation of student opinion. Furthermore evaluation will strengthen the development of OSCE

Prayer is one of the important pillars of Islam and divine duty to adhere to the criterion measure of faith and knowledge is virtue. Students play an important role in the future leadership of the country and led to the perfection and goals of other social groups in the country. The purpose of this study was to evaluate adherence to the prayers of Semnan University of Medical Sciences (SUMS). This cross - sectional survey was performed in on 699 students of SUMS. The forms of data collection included demographic information and the prayer list were completed by students. The results showed that %56.6 of students have high level, very high and adhered to the ritual prayer. ANOVA test results showed a significant relationship between the commitment of students to perform the ritual prayer aged students (p =0.300), marital status (p = 0.004) and university students (p = 0.014). Based on these findings, more students of SUMS were committed to prayer. According to the results of this study and to develop commitment to comunity prayer need to organize better and attract more students have paid more attention

Skilled and motivated workforce is the most important asset of any organization. The progress of any society depends on the protection and proper utilization of human resources and the academic elite. This study was designed to investigate the job satisfaction rate and its related factors on the faculty members of Semnan University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) in Iran.

This study was conducted in 2012 in SUMS. 83 faculty members of SUMS participated in this study. Job satisfaction questionnaire Smith، Kendall and Hulin demographic questionnaires were used for data collection.

The results showed that the participants expressed their job satisfaction as 15. 7% with low satisfaction، 66. 2% with moderate satisfaction and 18. 1% with high satisfaction. The highest levels of job satisfaction have been in the nature of work and the lowest were in the job satisfaction rights and benefits. There was no significant difference in the areas of job satisfaction between men and women، degrees، and academic degrees. The option of «The pleasure of teaching and work in University and serving the scientific community» has had the highest level of satisfaction. Lack of encouragement and appropriate feedback system has been reported as a reason of the lowest satisfaction.

The findings show that a proper evaluation system that leads to timely feedback of performance of faculty member is necessary. The activation of «Office of Industrial Relations» is a useful step in more community usage of faculty member empowering and enhancing their job satisfaction

Student evaluations provide teachers with important feedback from the consumer's point-of-view. Although substantial research has been conducted with regard to the factors influencing reliability and accuracy of student evaluation of teaching quality, but the results are controversial and need to further research. Thus, this comprehensive study was conducted to determine the role of different factors influencing student evaluations of teacher faculty at Semnan University of Medical Sciences students, Iran. This analytical-descriptive study was conducted with participation of all students at least at the levels of the second semester to up of their education program at Semnan University of Medical Sciences in the academic year of 2009. A questionnaire containing demographic data and some factor influencing on teacher evaluation including effective teaching skills (9 questions), faculty personal characteristics (15 questions), educational principles and laws (1 question), personal characteristics and attitudes of students toward lessons (10 questions), daily time and place of lecture presentation (4 items), and teacher evaluation process at the University (6 questions) was given to each student before the starting of lecture at the classroom. The questionnaires were collected, and the data were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods appropriate. Results. Results showed that from the viewpoints of students proficiency on the course (94 %), good-tempered (93 percent), confidence (92.7%), expressive power (91 percent), organizing the contents and having interest to teaching (90%), personality (90 percent), and old or up-to date of teaching materials (83%) have high and higher influences on student evaluation of teacher quality. Most Students (63.3%) expressed that their personal issues have low up to very low influence on teacher evaluation. Additionally, a significant relation between the gender (P<0.001), native and non native status (P<0. 01) and study field of students (P<0. 01) with teacher evaluation score was found. Finally, no significant relation was observed between student rating with faculty evaluation (P>0. 05). The results of this study showed that acdamemic capability (such as academic proficiency and providing new and updated scientific information on the course subject) is one of the most important factor influencing teacher evaluation outcomes. Also, it seems that not only teaching methods, but also teacher personality can increase student enthusiasm and motivation for learning that ultimately improve the quality of education.

Since teachers play an important role in education, thus, the higher education organizations have items to evaluate their performance to promote the quality of education to determine the characteristics of a good teacher. This study was performed to evaluate the opinions of students in Semnan university of medical sciences about the features of a good academic lecturer.

This analytical-descriptive study was performed on 133 para-medical and nursing students. A two-part questionnaire containing 24 features of a good educator was given to students. In this questionnaire, reliability and validity was considered and the students’ view was asked in the scale of Likert measuring attitude in the form of without importance, low importance, nearly important, important, and too important. Then, these features were categorized in the fields of research, methodology of teaching, in dividable character, and communication ability.

76% of students were females and 53.4% were studying for B.S. degree. The most important features obtained in this study were proficiency on the course, fluency in speech, organizing the contents and having interest to teaching. On the other hand, decisiveness of teacher, having interest to research and the teaching experience were those items that had the least important for students. In addition, the results showed that there was a significant relation between the gender and the teacher’s personality features (P=0.025).

According to the results, proficiency on the course, fluency in speech and having interest in teaching are the items that in selecting the teachers should be considered. Therefore, it seems some workshops are necessary for university lecturers about how to organize the contents, teaching methodology, and how to communicate with others in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

Intorduction: The main goal for every university is to educate professionals in order to improve the quality of well being of body and mind of the society's members. To approach this important issue, universities needs healthy employees to enable them to educate healthy, qualified, well trained, and sensitive individuals for societies. Therefore, investigation about the health situation of the employee has a prime importance. This study was carried out to evaluate the status of mental health of employees in the Semnan University of Medical Sciences. The present study was a descriptive-analytical and cross- sectional study. 414 employees of the Semnan University of Medical Ssciences were included in the study. Data were collected using a self-reporting questionnaire (GHQ-28). Then, data were analyzed by SPSS software and also mean, standard deviation, absolute & relative frequency were determined. Statistical analysis was performed by Chi–square, Pearson & Spearman correlation coefficient at the level of 5% and logistic regression analysis. Totally, 28.6% of employees suffered from mental diseases. The most cases were observed among the employees who working in treatment setting (41%) and the least ones observed among the employees who working in office setting. The rate of mental disorders was greater in individuals aged 40-49 (29.3%), women (37.4%), undergraduates (40.7%), singles (60%), as well as the individual who working for 20 or more years (35.2%) in the university. Interpretation logistic regression showed that index of gender, the level of education, and occupation has a significant influence over mental disorder. The rate of mental disorder was 2.5 times more than those reported by WHO, but was similar with those reported in Iran. More investigations are needed for better understanding of the reasons for higher prevalence of mental disorder among women, undergraduates government employees and those individuals who working in treatment setting. The result of these studies can lead to find a solution for this problem.

The universities attempt to facilitate the possibility of using the internet for faculty members by providing and expanding internet services. Since internet affects the quality of scientific researches at the university, it seems necessary to investigate the possibility and process of expanding the use of internet. This study was performed to investigate the use of internet among faculty members of Semnan University of Medical Sciences. In this descriptive study, all faculty members of Semnan Medical University were investigated. The data gathering tool was a questionnaire whose validity and reliability had been confirmed and contained 4 demographic questions and 14 questions related to the use of internet. The sampling method was census. Out of 100 questionnaires, 62 were completed by faculty members. Then, the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS software. In total, 91.9% of faculty members used internet among which 68.3% used internet at home and 30% at work, and 50.8% used internet less than one hour per day. Faculty members (66.7%) believed that the speed of access to internet was undesirable. Thirty seven point three percent had access to internet 24 hours a day. Sixty four point nine percent of the cases were in agreement with filtrating the un-ethical websites. Eighty point seven percent believed that subscribing academic databases by university was necessary. Faculty members used internet for research activities (74.2%), teaching information (72.6%), and electronic mail (59.7%). Fifty percent of them felt that taking part in internet training workshops was necessary. The faculty members of Semnan Medical University do not use internet in a vast level which could be because of time limits or their lack of capability in using internet properly. It is recommended to provide faculty members with educational workshops and classes so they can take advantage from internet facilities and on-line databases.

One of the main missions of universities is to train skillful manpower for the society. The higher education institutions try to find out what their graduates will face in the society and if they have a chance to use their specialty. This research was performed to determine the job future of the graduates in Semnan. In a cross-sectional study, all nursing graduates (B.S.) who had been graduated during 1992-1999 were studied (N=174). 93 persons participated in the survey by completing a questionnaire containing 10 questions. The data were analyzed by SPSS software. Frequency distribution, standard deviation and the mean of all questions were calculated and also Chi2 test was used. 60.22% of the participants were female. 30.12% of them were hired as permanent employees. Most of them worked at the hospitals and 43.1% were employed in non-nursing positions. Only 17.2% were employed within less than 6 months and the rest were unemployed in a period of 6 months to 3 years after graduation. Also, 17.2% were unemployed at the time of this study. Most of them (60.21%) had not entered postgraduate studies and 2.61% had continued their studies for non-nursing majors. 6.45% had changed their major of study and also their jobs. 80.64% of the participants did not have any contacts with their schools. And only 17.2% were employed in hospitals affiliated to Semnan University of Medical Sciences. Chi2 – test showed a significant relationship between gender and the period of unemployment. The results revealed the long period of unemployment of nursing graduates, the undetermined hiring situation and employment in fields other than nursing. It is recommended to consider society's needs and student's interests at the time of admission to the university and take some measures concerning employment problems.

Developing in medical care has increased life expectancy. As a result population has been increased. Therefore programming to provides services requires the identifying the elderly real needs. Having knowledge and achieving to their real needs helps the programmers to have a plan according to their needs. This study was performed to determine the elderly health, social and economic conditions and that how they spend their leisure time. In an analytic and descriptive research, 1024 old men and women were surveyed through using questionnaire and cluster sampling. To analyze the qualitative data, data were changed into the quantitative ones, and named with ranking ″good, average, poor″. The chi-2 tests and Spirman correlation coefficient were used in the 5% meaningful level. Data showined that most of the elderly (69.23%) have the average economic condition, and the social condition of most of them is average (69.02 %.). Health condition of the elderly is showing some disturbances, hypertension (80.6%) and excrement problems (76.7%). However sight problems (46.9%), hearing (29.3%) and movement (28.2%) are considerable. There also existed a meaningful relation between the economic condition and gender (P=0.0003), age and social condition (p=0.000). But in the other cases, there did not exist any significant relation. The elderly average economic condition showing that this class of society needs more care, financially. Results showed that social activity condition of them was at the average level, resulting from age increase and removing the life motivation. Totally, they have a lot of physical problems and should be considered by health and treatment planners.
