 Problematic internet use is one of the emerging issues in modern societies, and psychological factors play a prominent role in its etiology. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between attention deficit, impulsivity, and emotional regulation deficits with problematic internet use due to the feeling of loneliness.

 The multi-stage cluster method was adopted to select 450 students from the middle schools in Tabriz in the 2022-2023 academic year. Subjects were assessed by the questionnaires of Achenbach's behavioral signs, Barth's impulsivity, Gratz's and Roemer's emotion regulation deficits, Russell's feeling of loneliness and the problematic Internet use by Lopez-Fernandez et al.

 The data analysis using structural equation modeling showed that the effects of attention deficit, impulsivity, and emotional regulation deficits on the problematic internet use were mediated by the feeling of loneliness. In addition, the findings revealed that attention deficit, impulsivity, emotion regulation deficit, and loneliness had a positive significant relationship with problematic internet use (P<0.05). The effects of attention deficit, impulsivity, and emotion regulation deficit on loneliness were also significant (P<0.05).

 In sum, the attention deficit, impulsivity, and emotional regulation deficits may have predicted the problematic internet use caused by feeling of loneliness.

Adolescent pregnancy is one of the important challenges of reproductive health. Factors such as family conflict, poor social support, and low self-esteem among adolescent mothers can expose them to postpartum depression. Therefore, the present study was performed to determine the prevalence of postpartum depression and its relationship with birth experience among adolescent mothers.

The present study was a cross-sectional study that was conducted on 202 adolescent mothers referred to urban and suburban health centers in Tabriz, Iran. Sampling method was census and done in the period of 1 to 3 months after birth in 2022. After checking the eligibility criteria, childbirth experience questionnaire version 2.0 (CEQ 2.0) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) were completed through interview. Data analysis was done using SPSS software and logistic regression test.

The mean (SD) of postpartum depression score was 7.5 (5.6) ranging from 0 to 30. The prevalence of postpartum depression and negative birth experience were approximately 23.8% and 11.4%, respectively. After adjusting the effect of possible confounding variables, there was no statistically significant relationship between the negative experience of birth and postpartum depression (p= 0.310). In mothers with unwanted pregnancy compared to mothers with wanted pregnancy, the probability of postpartum depression was 2.22 times higher [Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval) = 2.22 (4.71 to 1.05); p= 0.037].

Although in this study, approximately one-fifth of adolescent mothers were exposed to postpartum depression; there was no significant relationship between the negative birth experience and postpartum depression. The results of this study can be used to identify high-risk mothers, especially mothers with unwanted pregnancies, referring them for counseling, and prevent postpartum depression.

In the current volatile and uncertain environment, banks need to expand their tangible and intangible resources and internal capabilities to respond to environmental changes. Therefore, they can achieve macro and long-term goals if they have a codified strategic plan. In this research, the researcher provided a model for explaining business strategy with infrastructure factors and knowledge capabilities on the economic performance of the bank using the data base method. Based on this, the sample of this research is the actors and experts in the field of banking in the country who were selected from among the senior executives of the banking field based in Ilam province. Theoretical sample to be interviewed Based on the theoretical sampling method and using the snowball method, first 6 people were interviewed as the primary target sample and finally 19 people were interviewed until the model reached theoretical saturation. The main findings of the research are presented in two parts: conceptual framework and conceptual model. In this model, in addition to special emphasis on internal factors affecting productivity such as manpower, intellectual capital, as well as the context and structure of technology, Allenver's parameters have been considered, this model increased the efficiency of bank knowledge management and economic performance.

The appearance of different types of educational technology (Ed Tech) tools has paved the way for teachers and learners in all fields of study including second/foreign language learning in order to use them for making the education and learning process more fruitful and exciting. This study aimed to investigate and compare the impact of the common WhatsApp group in which participants could have interactions versus the restricted WhatsApp group in which participants did not have any interactions, as two quittances of social network groups on enhancing English Foreign Language (EFL) learners' writing ability with a focus on process analysis type of paragraph writing. In this regard, 64 intermediate EFL learners were homogenized through the administration of the Oxford Placement Test (OPT) and divided into two virtual groups randomly. Next, a paragraph writing pretest was administered, and then both virtual groups received the same treatment and material based on the Model-Practice-Effect instruction cycle. After the treatment sessions, the paragraph writing posttest was administered. Considering the purpose of the study, data analysis indicated that the participants in the common WhatsApp group who had experienced online interaction could significantly outperform the participants in the restricted WhatsApp group.  The results and findings of this study can be useful for second/foreign language learners, teachers, researchers and experts in order to consider and become aware of the critical role of Ed Tech, as well as the central and important role of interaction in improving the quality of language teaching and learning process.

Smoking additionally is one of the risk factors for cancer, can play an important role in the recovery process of cancer patients. This issue is affected by several factors.

About ego – strength, hope (β= -0.16) and purpose (β= -0.14) are able to predict of smoking. Also, ego – strength’s model for 77.5 percent of participants correctly can predict smoking. subjective experience of distress, hope and purpose are an important determinants of smoking in cancer patients. It is necessary to consider the role of these variables in smoking cessation interventions in cancer patients.
