    Abstract: Healthy life expectancy is the best single index that is show the mean of health base of population. The purpose of this research is investigation of correlation between Health life expectancy with sexual inequities and comparison of its markers with global information with equity in health approach. In this descriptive - analytical study, the statistical population is the total of world population and the base of Health life expectancy is the reported rate of world health organization in 2008. In sexual inequities section, economic and social and political factors are the base of work. In social dimension, gross combinational registration ratio of women in 3 base and adult literacy rate, in economic dimension, income rate and in political dimension the achievement of governmental posts in ministerial dimension are regarded. The survey of markers status shown that women in Iran and also other zone countries, in different with developed countries deprived from extended cooperation in economic, social and political. At now, the worst status is in political cooperation of women. Also, there is significant correlation between Healthy life expectancy index with literacy of women, gross combinational registration ratio of women in 3 bases and achieved income. Also, In regression analysis, these variables were responsible of 50% of Healthy life expectancy variation. With respect to UN desirable status in economic, social and political cooperation of women in Iran, it must be that policymaking for approach to development with respect to sexual regards and women’s special needs.

    Considering non-normative extension and too much development of cities, the lack of accurate model of consumption, increasing waste production, the most logical and most economical method for disposal of municipal waste is sanitary landfill. Given that, to identify areas prone to waste landfilling requires application of comprehensive techniques. The main objective for the present research is to select optimum place for waste sanitary landfill using Multi-Criteria techniques of FAHP(fuzzy analytic hierarchy process) and fuzzy TOPSIS(Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). First, determinant factors affecting landfill place from various institution were identified, collected and were standardized using geographical information system. Then by using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, weights are calculated. After applying the weights on the corresponding criteria, using Fuzzy overlay functions combination of layers were done. Then, FTOPSIS method was used to prioritize options. Number of thirty one suitable options were calculated through running above mentioned methods. Then, one options were considered as the best as per prioritization located at south western of Shahriar city. Results showed that suitable elite options are located at better landfill compared to current one. So, this integrated approach, showed better performance than others due to taking inexact nature of phenomena.

    Preventive healthcare considerations have always been prioritized over treatment. With this regard, one of the most influential approaches is investment in and attention to healthcare instructions and awareness-raising in schools. Poor oral health can pose destructive effects on students’ achievement both in school and life. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the interventional effect of a BASNEF model-based instruction on preventing and controlling oral health-related problems among male junior high school students. In this semi-experimental research, 80 students were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 40 (a control and an experimental group). The data gathering instrument was a questionnaire developed based on BASNEF model. The instructional intervention was conducted in 6 sessions. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 19, independent t-test, paired t-test, Wilcoxon along with descriptive tests (mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage). Research findings revealed a significant divergence between the mean awareness scores and the underlying constructs of BASNEF model in the control and experimental groups (p<.001). According to the findings, instructional interventions based on BASNEF model which follow an appropriate and harmonized structure can not only raise students’ awareness and attitude but can also produce healthy behaviors among them.

    Abstract
    Background
    corrosion and scaling are of the most important characteristics of drinking water, affecting public health and water industry economy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the corrosion and scaling potential of potable water supplied by Saqqez Rural Water and Wastewater Company.
    Materials And Methods
    this was a descriptive study conducted on 142 samples taken from different parts of the distribution network during 2011-2012. All samples were analyzed for required physical and chemical parameters. The obtained results were compared with water quality standards and then, corrosion and scaling indices including Langelier Saturation Index (LSI), Ryznar Stability Index (RSI), Larson Ratio (LR), and Saturation Level (SL) were calculated.
    Results
    all parameters were below the allowable limits determined by national and international qualitative drinking water standards. Biennial average of 0.73, 6.51, 0.74, and 1.96 were calculated for LSI, RSI, LR, and SL, respectively. Accordingly, potable water of the surveyed region was evaluated to be scaling based on LSI and SL, stable based on RSI, and corrosive based on LR. Finally, frequency distribution of indices during the surveyed period was reported.
    Conclusion
    potable water of the region was in an acceptable level in terms of corrosion and scaling potential. However, considering significant differences between values of indices in a year to another year, annual survey of corrosion and scaling potential of regional potable water is strongly recommended.

    Driving in flood is the first major cause of flood-related death. This study was aimed to determine risk factors associated with dangerous behavior of driving in flood and related behavioral modeling. This study was descriptive-analytical. Target population was 150 residents over 18 years old of Quchan city. Data was gathered by a questionnaire. chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to data analysis and estimating model. Chi-square test results showed that the three variables: level of education, reaction to flood warnings and knowledge about the main causes of deaths in floods had significant relationship with variable of behavior of driving in floods. in the estimated logistic regression model, two variables, level of education and reaction to flood warnings, had predicting value for behavior of driving in floods. Results show the likelihood of incidence of risky driving behavior among those without college education when exposure to flooding is more than 2.6 times of those with college education. In addition, people who donot take flood warnings seriously 2.5 times more likely than others to express the risky driving behavior. By identifying high risk groups in flood-porn areas, some interventions and training programs can be set to reduce dangerous behavior of driving in floods.

    Child growth is a dynamic process and has different stages including the development of gross motor, fine motor, communication, and personal-social abilities. Developmental disorders as one of the most common problems in the process child growth This study aimed to determine the developmental level of infants under two years who were admitted to the health care centre's of Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, in Sanandaj in 2009. This descriptive, cross-sectional study was done with a systematic method by using standard Age and Stages Questionnaires(ASQ) on 397 children aging 4 to 24 months. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 13 software and was described with frequency and percentages values. Finally, data was analyzed via Fisher's exact test. The mean prevalence of developmental delay was 4.8 203 girls and 194 boys, in other words 3.9 and 5.7 percent, respectively. The prevalence of developmental delay was 11.4% in four months old children in four domains, 5.7% in 6 months old children in two domains, 34.4% in 18 months old children in three domains, and 5% in 24 months old children in one domain. According to this study, the developmental delay was in an acceptable level, however, it increased dramatically at the age of 18 months. The highest level of developmental delay was observed in fine motor. Educating parents and encouraging primary care providers like, family physicians and pediatricians can increase early detection and reduce the prevalence developmental delay in children.
