The main purpose of lighting in offices is to provide effective and comfortable working environments. Mental comfort and health in turn guarantee an increase in user motivation and lead to better performance and efficiency. Providing sufficient and appropriate light in the workplace increases the willingness to work in employees, the operational accuracy and efficiency, and output. It also results on ocular health, better protected eyes and less fatigued nerves work better, and eventually fewer workspace accidents.The purpose of this research is to investigate lighting from the perspective of operational satisfaction and well-being using the case of Shiraz National Documentation Center.In this research, it is assumed that in the space occupied by the users; while using artificial light in the space, they are not satisfied with the amount of natural light and its effective factors. 

In this regard, after using library resources, in the topic of space lighting, field data collection with a photometer and in the topic of employee satisfaction and well-being, a phenomenological and psychoanalytical approach to analyze the unconscious behavior of humans through questionnaires and software analysis in SPSS; Because the brightness of the space alone does not have the ability to express the pleasantness and desirability of the ambient lighting from the users’ point of view. 

According to the results, employees have an average of 50% or higher in terms of satisfaction, well-being and visual comfort. But it does not mean that those who are working in the space without natural light are satisfied with the conditions. According to field observations, these spaces do not even have substitutes for visual compositions and nature themes. In terms of satisfaction, well-being and visual comfort in the female group, the average values are higher than the male group; In the post-graduate class, it is more than other classes and the working position of expert is higher than other working positions.

The crisis of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is one of the most important concerns of World Health Organization (WHO), which requires further global research and studies in order to develop more effective antimicrobial compounds. Nanoparticles as an alternative to antibiotics have been widely used to target bacteria and they are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections. In this narrative review study, the advantages of using nanoparticles against bacteria are discussed. Due to their unique properties compared to the bulk form, nanoparticles have a high potential to be used as carriers and adjuvants with the ability to strengthen the immune system and fight bacteria using several mechanisms simultaneously. Recently, a number of nanoparticle-based drugs have been designed and used for clinical use as an alternative to antibiotics. Despite special attention to nanoparticles, their antibacterial mechanisms are not very well known. However, in this study, we have examined in detail a number of accepted antibacterial mechanisms such as oxidative stress induced by ROS and the function of nanoparticles for releasing soluble metal ions. Further over, we also examined important factors affecting the antibacterial properties of nanoparticles, including size, charge, zeta potential, and surface morphology will be investigated too. The limitations of the research will also be discussed.

Archetypes as indicators of analytic psychology can be effective in in-depth historical analysis. In this research, after defining the archetypes and introducing the local and Mobad archetypes, the role of such psychological talents in ulama’s response to the events (political, social and cultural) occurred during the Middle Islamic era were examined. The main question is as follows: To what extent have the scholars of Islam in the cultural geography of Iran been affected by such archetypes? The question can be answered through determining and analyzing some behaviors of the ulama in the social, cultural, and even individual fields. The research findings indicate a distinction focusing on the return to the old religious ideas potentially possessed by Islamic scholars. According to the nature of the subject, an analytical method was adopted in this study.

Light is one of the comfort factors in the environment, which unwittingly has a direct impact on the human beings. An environment without natural light can gradually cause illness. Light energy accounts for 25% of energy consumption, therefor it has a main rank in studies. As Shiraz is a southern city with considerable sunny days in a year, illuminance of this source can be studied more exactly equipment and convenient ways can be recognized in order to reach efficient use. First of all, the documents analyzed in an analytical-describtive method. Then, the studied issue had been observed in a sample place, and analyzed by the simulation. At last, a type of light guidance system had been used in order to offer the efficient light.Vertical light pipe has been analyzed, in order to provide the quality and quantity of office illuminance in medium depth plan building. Analysis Autodesk Ecotect 2010 version had been used for modeling and Radiance Control Panel for light analyze. The simulation results of the determined office room, had shown some issues such as, light dazzlement, light concentration and light reduction in the different hours of a day of the special months in a year. The findings suggest that, it’s possible to use sunlight for sufficient illumination by using DGS , such as a lightpipes if daylighting process would be revised in the glare and illumination distribution in the different times. It also, offers that the light pipes can be used in the other types of buildings.

Occurrence of special events by religious authorities and Muslim scientists during the 7th and 9th century of Hejra is an evidence of heterodox and altruism thoughts emergence that, in some cases, was in conformity to European history events during the Renaissance. In the recent study, we emphasized on the role of religious stimuli in advancing or stopping the Renaissance. Therefore, this question may be aroused that what are the differences and similarities between these sociocultural events (especially during Ilkhani and Taimuri government) and western cases and why there is no significant achievement. Research conclusion shows that there is significant relationship between short term socialization of Iran and short term Renaissance in this country and despite of religious authorities’ efforts, there is no achievement. Therefore, the goal of the research to evaluate this conformity is based on determination of the causes of said failures and discovery of sociocultural movement gaps during Iran history. In this research, descriptive-analytical method is used.

The occurrence of special events between the 7th and the 9th century AH, by somescholars, is evidence of the development of a dissident and arrogant thinking, which insome cases can be adapted to the events of European history during the period ofreligious reformation. The research goes on to ask: "What are the features of thedistinction and similarity of this socio-cultural phenomenon (especially during theIlkhani and Timurid periods) with its western model, and which causes of failure?"Research findings suggest that prejudice, lawlessness, sedition, and short-term thinkingin Iran have had a meaningful relationship with the inferiority of religious reform in thatland, and despite the efforts of some influential scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah and FazlAllah Naimi has not come to an end. The research method in this study will be based ona deductive and adaptive analysis with a holistic view.

Shift-to-Shift Handoff is a strong tool for transferring information about patients’ status and their caring plans. Any disruption of this process can be a precursor to serious error, poor communication in work environment. Bedside shift-to-shift hand off with patient’s cooperation allows the nurses to see and patient, ask questions of the patient and previous nurse and receive instant feedback on questions. This study aimed to determine the impact of bedside nurse-to nurse hand off with patients’ cooperation on patients and nurses’ satisfaction.
In this clinical trial, quasi-experimental study in 2015, 90 patients and 12 nurses of Intensive Care Unit of Amir-al-Momenin Hospital affiliated to Golestan University of Medical Sciences were participated. The sampling methods for patients and nurses were census respectively. Patients and nurses’ satisfaction before and after the intervention (shift-to-shift hand off with patients partnership), were evaluated by valid and reliable self-designed patients and nurses’ satisfaction’s questionnaires.
The mean and standard deviation of total score of patients’ satisfaction before and after the intervention were 59.66±5.64 and 67.06 ± 5.06 respectively (P Shift-to-shift hand off with patients’ participation increased the patients and nurses’ satisfaction.

During recent years the rapid increase in the senior population, their disabilities, reduced independence, and increased dependence have drawn more attention toward issues related to social support in this group. Social support impacts different dimensions of health of the senior population. Meanwhile, one of the important aspects of health which is less considered in this group is social well-being. Social well-being is described as the degree of functioning, adjusting, and adapting to social aspects of life. This study aimed to determine the association between perceived social support and social health among Isfahan’s elderly population. This descriptive–analytical, cross sectional study was conducted among 230 elderly people aged 60 and over. The study subjects were chosen from urban elderly people by simple randomized sampling. Data were gathered by a questionnaire consisting of demographic characteristics, multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MPSS) and Keyes’s scale of social health. Finally, the final score of these scales was reported in three categories including good, moderate and poor (Scores were in the range of 0 to 100). Data were analyzed using correlation statistics, ANOVA and independent t-test. Findings showed that 70.09% of participants were male. Their average age was 67/46± 7/1. The mean score of perceived social support and social health were 71/16 ± 28/8 and 50/98 ± 18/3 respectively. A significant correlation was found between perceived social support and social health (P < 0.01). Furthermore, a significant correlation was found between subscales of perceived social support and social health, and demographic characteristics (P < 0.01). According to the impact of perceived social support on elderly people’s social well-being and the importance of this dimension of health; It is essential to consider this issue among older people as a vulnerable group.
