The researcher made two questionnaires, the faculty members’ ICT usage and the research performance along with demographic information for both with 0.91 and 0.98 Cronbach’s alpha reliability, respectively. Two methods, descriptive (frequency, percentage) and inferential (Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, ANOVA, Multiple Linear Regression, Scheffe Post Hoc) statistics used to analyze the data.

The research results showed the faculty members’ used ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for their education and research in average. There is a direct relationship between faculty members’ ICT usage and their research performance; means that the increasing of the ICT usage relates to the research performance. Finally, the results of the impact of   the ICT usage and faculty memberschr('39') educational and research performance based on the demographic variables (age, gender, position, academic background, recruiting status and departments) showed the significant differences.

The phrase "Academic mobbing" can be described as character assassination or psychological harassment against a colleague. According to many published reports, individuals in any workplace, including the academic environment, may be targets of coworkers' antisocial behaviors such as accusation, humiliation, emotional abuse, and general offences. In addition to personal negative outcomes including decreased job satisfaction, increased occupational stress, and higher risk for anxiety and depression; academic mobbing can lead to decreased efficacy of the organization to reach its targets. Job dissatisfaction leads to decrease effort of faculties in performing educational and scientific activities that has indirect consequences on community. The direct effect of dissatisfaction of faculties would be decreased quality and quantity of educational services to students. Since the first steps to systematically deal with any social issue, including academic mobbing is understanding the nature and characteristics of the situation, the current review tends to introduce and establish the characteristics of academic mobbing as well as the role of the authorities in preventing or resolving the problem.

Background and Parental knowledge about child’s dental developmental stage affects their performance greatly in providing domestic hygienic care, professional preventive care and meeting child’s needs for treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate of knowledge of dental developmental stage of 4-9 years old children among parents in Mashhad, Iran.
Two hundred eighteen parents (with one child) participated in this cross sectional study, filling questionnaires and answering clinical questions about their child’s dental developmental stage. The results were analyzed using SPSS software, using spearman and Pearson correlation, means and percentiles.
Around 80% of parents correctly named the dental system type of their children. Considering the question about the need for a primary tooth exfoliation before eruption of each permanent tooth, only 45% of parents gave the right answer. Variance analysis declared that there was significant relationship between knowing about type of dental system and child’s age (p= 0.02). There was also significant relationship between parental knowledge about the need for a primary tooth exfoliation before eruption of each permanent tooth and family income (p= 0.022). Parents could not correctly recognize the type of tooth (primary or permanent) for 11.01% of teeth. The most miss recognized teeth was related to lower first permanent molar (37.5 %). There was significant relationship and positive correlation between child’s age and miss recognizing the tooth type by parents (P= 0.06). There was also a significant relationship between parental academic education and miss recognizing the tooth type by parents (P= 0.042).
A significant percentage of parents had inadequate knowledge about type of dental system and type of each tooth (primary or permanent). More effort should be put on educating parents by dentists and authorities.

Epilepsy­ causes significant effects on child's physical and mental functions and is associated with different psychiatric disorders. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and quality of life (QOL) in children with epilepsy.
This study was conducted on 90 children that divided to 3 groups: chronic epilepsy, recent epilepsy (with diagnosis of less than a month), and control groups. In the first stage, all patients were screened with a questionnaire containing demographic data, ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS), Child-self report and Parent-proxy report as well as Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM (Peds QL™) forms. Then, the children were evaluated for definite diagnosis of ADHD according to DSM-IV criteria.
ADHD was diagnosed in 43.3%, 36.7% and 6.7% of chronic epilepsy, recent epilepsy, and control groups, respectively. There was a significant correlation between Parent-proxy report QOL score and the type of epilepsy. In analysis of QOL subgroups, the score of physical function and school performance were different in three groups. Children with ADHD had significantly lower total QOL score than non-ADHD children.
The physical function, school performance, and total QOL score of chronic epileptic children are lower than recent epileptic and non-epileptic children. The ADHD is more common in epileptic children than normal children. Screening and early treatment of ADHD in epileptic children may improve their QOL.
