Medical specialty selection is a critical issue that can have a direct impact on the health care workforce and affect the needs of the community health sector. Attachment styles, as one of the influencing factors in interpersonal interactions, can play a role in the specialty selection. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between attachment styles and specialty selection in medical interns in Ahvaz. This is a descriptive epidemiological study. The study population consisted of medical interns from Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in Ahvaz in 2018. The study selection method was convenience sampling. A questionnaire including the demographics, items regarding preferred and selected specialties, and Collins & Read Adult Attachment Scale were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The most preferred specialties of the participants were cardiology (16%), general surgery (11.8%), and radiology (10.7%). The specialties mainly selected by the participants were radiology (21.9%) and dermatology (20.1%). 123 students (72.8%) had a secure attachment style, 36 (21.3%) had an anxiety attachment style, and 5 (3%) had an avoidant attachment style. The frequencies of preferred specialties were not significantly different in terms of attachment style (P = 0.339), the frequencies of the selected specialties were not significantly different in terms of attachment style as well (P = 0.774). The present study results showed no relationship between interns' attachment styles and their interest in their specialties.

Critical pedagogy, by all means, is an attitude which serves the world through the word (Freire 1970) and leads to self-worth. Students in a critical pedagogical language classroom learn not only how to deal with studying and learning what is meaningful to their life, but also how to know and overcome their deficiencies and lacks which eventually brings on self-esteem. This paper works out to feature in how critical pedagogy consolidates students’ language learning. For this reason, two sets of instruments including a language proficiency test (Cambridge 2005) among 90 participants and a teacher-made language proficiency test as pre-test and posttest among 40 were administered. The findings through t-test acutely demonstrated that the mean performances of language proficiency (0.016) in experimental group was higher than the control group and expresses significant difference (P ≤ 0.05). This showed that the incorporation of the critical pedagogy into the language classroom can benefit EFL learners.

We aimed to produce mapping geographical distribution patterns of skin cancer incidence with relation to geographical-climatic factors in Khuzestan province; 2009-2013. It was a descriptive and analytical study which has done on province; 2009-2013 information from all the patients who's were registered under cancer registry population based in Khuzestan. Data analyses were performed by using SPSS (version 16), independent t-test, Kruskai-Wallis test, and analysis of variance. Climatic factors mapping was performed using Arc GIS.ver10.3. Number of 2656 skin cancer patients were found from cancer registry population based in Khuzestan province. Average age of patients were 61.35±23.17 years old and percentage of Male and female was as 60.4% and 39.6% respectively. Cumulative incidence of skin cancer (5 years) among the population was 58.61/100000. Highest annual incidence was 12.76/100000 in 2010 and lowest incidence was 10.6/100000 in 2011. The relationship between skin cancer incidence and the cities of Khuzestan province was significant (p=0.04). The hot spots for skin cancer incidence in Khuzestan province were Behbahan, Ahvaz, Masjedsoleiman, Izeh, and Andimeshk. cancer skin incidence was not similar in different areas of Khuzestan province that in addition to demographic aspects, can be due to geographical and climatic factors.
