Drug abuse usually starts in adolescence; it is influenced by factors such as gender, age, psychological factors affecting sensation seeking and social communication. The COM-B model includes a full range of behavioral concepts and is suitable for intervention regarding substance abuse. This research was carried out with the aim of evaluating the impact of education on the prevention of substance abuse among students.

An experimental study with a randomized controlled trial type was carried out. Using cluster method, two clusters were randomly selected from trhe schools on the outskirts of the city; one school was determined as intervention, and the other as control with a sample size of 50 people in each group. With Zuckerman's sensation seeking questionnaire, students were examined, and those with a positive score were evaluated with the COM-B substance abuse tendency questionnaire. Educational interventions were implemented for the intervention group. After completion of the intervention and three later, this questionnaire was completed by both groups.

In the intervention group, the scores of physical capacity (p=0/001), mental capacity (p=0/001), reflective motivation (p<0/05), automatic motivation (p<0/05), and preventive behavior against substance abuse increased after the intervention (p<0/05), but no significant difference was observed in the opportunity score in the studied times. In the control group, there was no significant difference in the scores of any of the variables during the study.

The implementation of educational programs based on COM-B model is effective in reducing the tendency of students to abuse drugs.

Chemerin and pentraxin 3 are involved in age-related metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of  8 weeks of combined exercises (aerobic and resistance) along with the consumption of mulberry leaf extract supplement on the serum levels of chemerin and pentraxin 3 in elderly men with type 2 diabetes.

In a clinical trial with a single-blind design, 40 elderly men with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to five groups: control, placebo, extract, exercise, and extract + exercise (8 people in each group). The exercises were done for eight weeks and three sessions for 90 minutes. 3000 ml of mulberry leaf extract per day was prescribed along with three main meals. Camerin and pentraxin 3 values were measured before the intervention and 48 hours after the last training session.

In the exercise, extract and exercise+extract groups, a significant decrease in the levels of chemerin (4/33%) and glucose (12/9%) and a significant increase in pentraxin 3 (4/12%) were observed (P<0/05). The results between groups showed a significant difference in the level of glucose (P=0/001), Chemerin (P=0/001) and Pentraxin 3 (P=0/001) and these changes in the extract + training group compared to the training groups And the extract isbigger.

It seems that the administration of a combined program along with the consumption of mulberry leaf extract in diabetic elderly can have a positive effect on the improvement of cardiovascular inflammatory indicators affecting type 2 diabetes

Among the ways to improve the culture and values of Islamic society in Iran is identifying and introducing important components of spouse selection. Understanding these components can lead to the selection of a suitable spouse and prevent common mistakes in this area. Therefore, the present study aims to examine educational components of spouse selection in Iranian society.

This qualitative study had an exploratory-descriptive nature and used the grounded theory and systematic Strauss and Corbin methods simultaneously to collect, execute, and analyze data. The research population included all family counselors, faculty members, and managers of counseling centers involved in marriage education and counseling in Yazd in 2022. Therefore, 32 participants were selected using purposive sampling as the research sample. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews which were recorded.

The results of open coding showed that out of 254 extracted propositions, 27 concepts were obtained in the form of 11 categories. Through axial coding, 5 main components (awareness of the philosophy of marriage, smart selection, literacy about marriage, rational-emotional strategies, and valuable style of marriage) were identified by integrating and connecting the categories. Selective coding also presented its final theory by designing a paradigmatic framework in a diagrammatic form.

Identifying dimensions and components of spouse selection can facilitate the assessment and evaluation of young individuals on the brink of marriage by pre-marital counselors and couple therapists. This will help the young people make vital and important decisions in choosing a life partner.

Emotional labor is known as one of the important components of work environments in which employees must use various strategies to manage and control emotions in interaction with clients. One of the important components affecting emotional labor is the general health of employees. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between general health and emotional labor among nurses in public and private hospitals of the country.

The study data were collected through a cross-sectional survey method. The research population was 480 nurses from private and public hospitals of the whole country, who were selected by non-random sampling method. The analysis of research findings was done using SPSS 22 software using bivariate and multivariate statistical tests.

The results showed that the independent research variables, including insomnia, being under pressure, feeling of discomfort and depression, happiness and optimism, had a significant effect on the dependent variable. The variable of feeling of discomfort and depression with beta 0/178 and significance level of 0/002 had the greatest effect on the emotional labor variable. The results of the regression analysis showed that the independent variables explained 17% of the variance of the dependent variable.

Improving and promoting the general health of nurses increases their skills in emotional labor, which helps them in forming successful human relationships and creating effective therapeutic relationships with patients. In this regard, it is suggested to take the necessary measures to maintain and improve the general health of nurses, such as regular examinations and consultations and holding numerous meetings to increase morale and work motivation and strengthen intellectual and value beliefs, using  fun sports, cultural, and religious programs along with granting special financial and non-financial privileges.

Various psychotherapy systems have provided definitions for pathology based on their definition of human nature. Islam is the most complete religion and includes all aspects of human life; therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of identifying and analyzing the concepts and structures related to psychopathology with an Islamic approach. 

The present study is qualitative, using data-driven theory (grounded theory). After examining the verses of the Quran and related texts, the concepts were categorized and coded. In order to extract the concepts and structures related to psychopathology, the concepts were categorized using open, axial, (selective) coding method.

After reviewing Quranic verses and related texts, categorized concepts and similar themes were placed in the final category as a code. After categorizing the codes, we obtained 173 codes, 22 sub-themes, and 4 main themes. Sub-themes included heart disease, disease, zigzag, madness, ignorance, affliction, khabal, idiot, copper, rhinoceros, zig-zag, rib, ghafl,  lock, stupidity, overdoing , underdoing, nature, termination, polytheism, hypocrisy, doubt, worldliness and mamonism. The main themes that emerged from the heart of these sub-themes are: ignorance, sick heart, naturalism, affliction.

Based on the findings of our research, we found the constructs of ignorance, sick heart, naturalism and affliction, and its sub-themes that can help us in diagnosing psychological injuries. These structures are derived from the verses of the Quran and hadiths and can be used for all people at all times.

Recently, the use of new therapeutic approaches to improve the executive functions of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) has attracted the attention of researchers. The aim of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of paaryaad exercises on response inhibition, cognitive flexibility and time reproduction in 8-12-year-old children with DCD.

The current research was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of the research was all the male students aged 8 to 12 years old in Maroodasht city schools in 2018, 30 of whom were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The intervention included perceptual-motor paaryaad exercises for 20 thirty-minute sessions at the gym. Data were collected using GO/NOGO and Stroop software, and time reproduction. Data analysis was done using repeated measure analysis of variance and Wilcoxon test in SPSS 24 software.

The results of the research showed that the scores of the experimental group regarding the variables of cognitive flexibility and response inhibition increased and the scores of time reproduction decreased. However, the scores of the control group did not change in the studied variables. Moreover, the findings of the research showed that Paaryaad perceptual motor exercises have a significant effect on response inhibition and time reproduction (p<0/005), but did not have a significant effect on the cognitive flexibility component (p<0/005).

Considering the effectiveness of Paaryaad exercises on response inhibition and time reproduction of children with DCD, it is suggested that these exercises be used as a suitable intervention method to improve some executive functions.

Traffic noise annoyance is one of the consequences of urban life which can have adverse effects on human health including sleep quality. The present study intends to investigate the extent of noise annoyance and its relationship with sleep quality of residents adjacent to high- and low-traffic roads in Yazd city in 1399.

This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 1399 in Yazd. Data were collected using two standard questionnaires of assessing noise annoyance and Pittsburgh sleep quality. Responses were collected from residents around 10 high- and low-traffic roads, and a total of 200 samples were obtained randomly.

The mean score of sleep quality for all participants was 11.5 ± 35.25, and the mean score of noise annoyance was 3.73± 1.9. There was a significant difference between the average quality of sleep and the score of noise annoyance in terms the type of road (P/00.001). In general, there was also a significant and direct correlation between noise annoyance and sleep quality (r = 0.569, P = 0.001). But, the correlation between these two variables was not significant with the separation of the types of roads.

Based on the results of the present study, the quality of sleep of residents around high traffic roads is moderate, which suggests that noise annoyance caused by traffic affects the quality of sleep. In other words, the noise annoyance caused by traffic has reduced the quality of sleep in people living adjacent to high-traffic roads.
