Today, the participation of local levels in the health policy process is emphasized, which can be used as a means to more appropriately solve the problems of local communities and support the health system in achieving its goals. This study aimed to design a health policy model based on participation at the local level.

This multi-method study was conducted to design a model for participation in health policymaking at the local level during three phases of systematic review, semi-structured in-depth interview, and Delphi technique. The purpose of the systematic review was to identify the factors affecting this participation, which was done by searching for suitable keywords in English and Persian databases. The objective of the qualitative phase was to identify the barriers and facilitators of participation. To this end, 16 people were selected by purposive sampling method and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The elements and components of the initial model were provided to experts in this field through the Delphi technique to confirm the items and validate them, so that the final model could be designed.

The influential factors for participation included individual, environmental, and contextual factors, which were identified from a systematic review of 21 articles. Facilitators obstacles, challenges, advantages, and disadvantages of local level participation in the policymaking process were identified through the results of a qualitative study, which were categorized into three main themes, including the participation process, the beneficiaries of the process, and the strategies to facilitate participation. Finally, the health policy model based on participation at the city level was validated and finalized using the opinion of experts.

Participation in the health policy process requires the use of facilitators and the removal of obstacles. Local levels in terms of health issues in Iran involve complex and diverse challenges that can be solved through real participation.

Futures studies are constantly evolving and help organizations and individuals for better identification of future events, opportunities, and threats. In the field of health, futures studies are also applied for better prediction of health issues in future, control of unpleasant condition and preparing for pleasant future in health system. The purpose of this study is to conduct a scoping review of the futures studies accomplished in the field of health in Iran, 

This study is a scoping review, conducted based on the Arksey and O’Malley framework with 6 steps including research question identification, related study identification, study selection / screening, data segmentation, summarizing and reporting results and providing guidance and recommendations n. National and international databases and search engines including PubMed, Web Of Science (WOS), Scopus, ProQuest, SID, Magiran, IranDoc and Google Scholar were searched using related keywords. After removing duplicate articles, the remaining articles were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the selected articles were finally categorized, summarized and reported based on the mentioned steps.

Among of 6691 articles identified, 30 articles reached the final synthesis stage. The articles were classified into forecasting, foresighting, and mixed categories, with the scenario writing method being the most widely used and applied in 20 studies. Also, studies were classified in scope of nature based on quantitative or qualitative and time horizon. Types of futures studies methods in Iran, in the fields of public health, medicine, science and technology, financing, prescription, health tourism, diet, human resources, aging, Covid-19 epidemic, health policy, hospital and macro level of health system were used.

The use of futures studies methods in a targeted manner and on the issues of Iran’s health system can play an effective role in knowing the future for more informed decision-making and planning in order to build a desirable future. The results of this review showed that scattered studies have been conducted with futures studies methods in the field of health, among which the scenario writing method has received more attention.

Nowadays, non-linear analysis of structures has become an attractive matter and appears necessary for most structural engineering applications, whereas tendency for more accurate structural analysis has increased by many engineers. In general, nonlinear analysis is divided into two main parts: geometrical and material nonlinearity. In some cases, both nonlinear types are used simultaneously in the analysis process. In this paper, a new Incremental-iterative method for the analysis of truss structures, including both geometric and material nonlinearity behavior, is proposed. Nonlinear equilibrium equations are solved using an Incremental-iterative method based on the displacement control process. The basis of geometric nonlinear process is based on rotational formulation and material nonlinearity is based on tracing the stress-strain relationship for post-buckling behavior of the truss members. In this proposed method, it is assumed that the magnitude of the displacement increment vector to the size of the total displacement vector at the beginning of each load increment, is a fixed value. Based on this idea and thinking, the corresponding equations are written and a new formulation has been developed based on the displacement control scheme, as, by employing a specified displacement, the corresponding load will be obtained. Using fixed incremental displacement algorithm, this paper, proposed a novel method that has a possibility of passing the limit points in the case of highly nonlinear behavior state. The proposed method, is able to pass the limit points including snap-through and snap-back. Some examples are provided for the proposed method and by solving them, the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is examined. A limit point refers to the turning point for the equilibrium path of a structure, which can be further considered as the transition point from stable to unstable equilibrium states or vice versa. In analysis of such structures, the simple incremental iterative methods unable to pass this limit points. The simple incremental iterative methods couldn’t trace the equilibrium path after the limit points. For resolving such disadvantages, advanced analysis methods have been developed numerical examples demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed algorithm, to be highly suitable in predicting nonlinear response of structures with multiple limit points and snap-back points, and trace the equilibrium path accurately. The results show that the method developed in this paper, traces the equilibrium curve as well as the modified arc-length method with a small difference. In spite of the fact that the procedure herein explained is only implemented for truss structures, it is possible to generate the proposed method for other structures. This paper is organized as follows. In the first section, we will have a brief review of nonlinear analysis of trusses, including both geometric and material nonlinearity. A literature review is done and a number of available methods in this field is describe. In the second section we explained the basic concepts in nonlinear analysis. The third section geometric and material nonlinear behavior of trusses are reviewed. Section four is allocated to implementation of proposed method for nonlinear analysis. In section five, the validity of the proposed method is illustrated with some examples.

Despite the emphasis on overhead documents and general social security policies, the process of implementing the Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the Iranian health system has not yet been fully implemented. The purpose of this study is to identify and explain operational barriers and solutions for the implementation of EHR in the Iranian health system.

This study was a scoping review, using the Arkesy and O'Malley framework in 6 steps including identifying research questions, identifying related studies, selecting/screening studies, data area/division of data, summarizing, reporting results, practical guidance and recommendations. Iranian databases including SID, Magiran, irandoc, and English -language databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest and Google scholar were searched. Selected articles were analyzed using Maxqda software (version 10).

After screening, 32 articles were selected. Operational barriers and solutions were classified into three levels of macro (policy and health management), Messo (centers of health services) and micro (health service providers). Desirable management and leadership, providing the necessary standards, community-building, preparing processes, training before implementation of the project, employee participation in implementation of the plan, and government financial support were among the most important operational strategies for EHR implementation in Iran.

The implementation of EHR in the Iranian health system faces obstacles that need to be taken in coordinated and simultaneously at the level of health policy and management levels, providing centers and health service providers to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

 Pre-hospital emergency staff face stressful environments. Job stress management can make employees stay in their occupations and provide appropriate services to patients as soon as possible. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining job-related stress and its management methods among pre-hospital emergency staff in Iran.

 In this systematic review, published English and Persian studies without time limitation were searched and reviewed electronically in Persian and English databases from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SID, Magiran, and Google scholar using related keywords. After removing duplicate and unrelated articles, the quality of the articles was evaluated by the authors based on the Strobe checklist. Finally, the narrative synthesis method was used to combine the data.

 After screening, among the 113 studies, 12 studies reached the final synthesis stage based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most of the studies reported moderate levels of occupational stress. Individual, occupational, organizational, and environmental factors were effective in the occupational stress of employees.

 Pre-hospital emergency workers face stressful situations on average in Iran. Using strategies such as educational intervention programs, gratitude programs, and management measures such as reducing work shifts and improving comfort facilities can help reduce the occupational stress of employees working in pre-hospital emergency centers.

One of the important prerequisites for the realization of Islamic management is the aristocracy of Islamic management research.
