Marital satisfaction is one of the variables easily affected by the relationship between couples. Statistics show an increase in divorce due to marital dissatisfaction. Therefore, this study compared the effectiveness of combined therapy with schema therapy on marital satisfaction in heterogeneous and conflicting couples.

The research was a single case study with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design. The statistical population included conflicting couples referred to the Parsa counseling clinic in Bandar-e-Torkmen County in 2021. Among them, six couples (husband and wife) were selected based on the research entry criteria, structured clinical interview, and marital satisfaction questionnaire (Olson et al., 1987) using purposive sampling. The subjects of the two groups of combined therapy and schema therapy received 12 weekly sessions (two sessions, 90 minutes each) separately. Descriptive statistics, Chi-squared test, visual analysis of graph with reliable change index (RCI≥ 1.96), and recovery percentage were used in the results report.

The findings of the research showed that both methods of integrated treatment and schema therapy had made statistically and clinically significant changes in the treatment goals (p<0.05), and the therapeutic effects continued in the follow-up period (RCI≥ 1.96). However, the percentage of recovery in the combined therapy group (PND=38.70 & p=0.018) was higher than in the schema therapy group (PND=27.45 & p=0.024).

Combined therapy was effective in increasing the marital satisfaction of couples; thus, it can be used in medical centers to improve family and marital function.

Trauma is one of the most common causes of emergency room visits. In the present study, the ratio of cross-matched blood to transfusion (C/T) and blood transfusion index (TI) in trauma patients receiving blood was determind to inform hospitals about the coordination between actual need and blood demand.

This retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on the records of 384 patients in the emergency department of Besat Hospital in Hamadan in 1399. A checklist was used to record demographic data and the blood request form of eligible patients. Finally, the data were analyzed by independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance by SPSS software version 22.

Out of 813 cross-matched units, 576 blood units were injected into 384 trauma patients. C/T and TI were 1.41 and 1.51, respectively. The number of requested blood units, the number of blood transfused units, and the C/T ratio in patients with penetrating trauma (1.63±1.79) were significantly higher than non-penetrating trauma (1.26±1.09)(p< 0.0001). There was a significant relationship between the indication of blood request and the number of units of blood requested by cross-match, the number of units of blood injected and the C/T ratio (p <0.0001).

The present study showed that the C/T ratio and TI in trauma patients receiving blood in the emergency department of Besat Hospital in Hamadan in 1399 was favorable.

Granodiorite and dioritic intrusive rocks (Middle Eocene age) intruded the Lower-Middle Eocene volcanic rocks at the northern parts of the Torud-Chah Shirin volcano-plutonic belt in north east of Iran. This granodiorite is intruded by small rhyolitic dome in the Damghan turquoise-gold mine. According to all data, these intrusive rocks are related to a common source. The primary magma evolved by the assimilation, fractional crystallization, contamination (AFC) and magma mixing during the ascent. These processes formed granodiorite, diorite and rhyolitic magmatic rocks. Fractional crystallization of olivine, zircon, clinopyroxene, plagioclase and hornblende has been effective in the formation of granodioritic magma. Crustal contamination and fractional crystallization of apatite and Ca- plagioclase have played a major role in the formation of rhyolitic magma. Potassic feldspar has been present until the last stages of magma evaluation. In addition to the field evidences, present of apatite needles solid inclusions in plagioclase, corrosion, and oscillatory- reverse zoning in zoned plagioclases, enclave type and geochemical characteristics of whole rock (Nb/Y, Nb/Zr to Nb, Rb/Sr and Sr/Zr ratios) (Zr/Rb to Rb / Sr) confirm mixing between mafic and granodioritic magmas.

Sub-volcanic diorite and granodiorite intrusive bodies (Middle Eocene) and dome shaped rhyolite have intruded into Lower to Middle Eocene volcanic rocks in Torud-Chah Shirin magmatic segment. The granodiorite plutons and rhyolitic dome host turquoise and gold mineralization in Damghan mine. Intrusive bodies display characteristics of high potassium CA and meta-aluminous (diorite and some of granodiorite samples) to per-aluminous (rhyolite and some of granodiorite samples). Comparison of TiO2-La-Hf and Zr-Nb-Ce / P2O5 values, as well as Rb to Y + Nb ratios indicate that magmatism is related to post-collisional tensional regime after closure of Neotethys. On the other hand, the metasomatism of  mantle due to the fluids release from subducted oceanic slab has caused  high ratio of LILE / HFSE with negative anomalies of Ti, Nb and Ta in magma. Partial melting of the metasomatized mantle has led to the formation of primary magma, which eventually has generated diorite, granodiorite, and rhyolite magmas by fractional crystallization, crustal assimilation and magma mixing

The decline of communication between couples and the occurrence of burnout can bring about potentially harmful and dangerous effects and consequences for couples and children. Both couple therapy based on acceptance and commitment and cognitive-behavioral couple therapy are valuable and evidence-based approaches that a great deal of research has supported. . Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral couple therapy and acceptance and commitment couple therapy in reducing marital burnout in couples.

This study was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest and control group with 2-month follow-up. The statistical population included all couples who visited Mehrsai Counseling and Psychotherapy Center in Ashkhaneh in 2019, among whom, 60 people were selected by  convenience sampling technique and assigned to three equal groups. Therapeutic interventions were applied for each of the two couple therapy approaches in 12 sessions, 1 session per week and 90 minutes per session. But the control group did not receive any medical intervention. The Pines couple burnout measurement was used to collect data. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and repeated measures analysis of variance/ repeated measures ANOVA.

According to the results of this study, the two approaches to couple therapy made significant changes in reducing marital burnout and its dimensions in the post-test and 2-month follow-up stages(p<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of these two treatments(p>0.05).

Overall, the findings of the present study provide empirical support for both therapeutic approaches to reduce marital burnout in couples, and the knowledge of family and marital therapists about these therapies can be helpful.

Boilers are one of the most important parts of the power plants. Superheater tubes have the main role in boilers and are subject to degradation because of many working conditions. According to the pressure and temperature of the working condition of the superheater tubes in boiler, failure is usually reported from the superheater tubes. Therefore, identifying the causes of this failure and its prevention is quite important. The reports on the failure of platen superheaters in several similar boilers whose inlet and outlet header is the same for all tubes indicate that a particular part of the tubes is more vulnerable than the rest in tubes and the failures are concentrated there. Location of the most failures is at the end of the 135-degree bend of the platen superheater. Therefore, this case was investigated at a special 320 MW power plant where there were seven units. The objective of this investigation is to find the cause of the failure and solve the problem for working in a long time with safety. The preliminary examination showed that the damaged point in this group had a higher temperature than the other groups in the same position. To prove the existence of the higher temperature at these points, three methods were used: metallography, oxide layer thickness measurement, and CFD analysis and all the three methods confirm the results. In this paper, different solutions were introduced for the 320 MW power plant issue. Each of the solution methods is subject to certain advantages and disadvantage. Following the analysis, among the solution methods, one of them was selected as the best solution. Based on the method, some schemes were offered as suggested plans as an alternative to the platen superheater tubes. These schemes were validated in comparison to the power plant superheater. Then, the investigation focused on the geometry of schemes. In addition, all of the three schemes were analyzed by CFD method. Based on the analytical results, one of the schemes was chosen as an alternative plan to the platen superheater for the power plant.

The studied volcanic rocks are located in south of Sarab at the northern part of the Bozghoush mountaion. The rocks are megaporphyry andesite flows and trachy andesite basalt lavas associated with tuff. In the northern part of the study area these rocks are covered with younger sediments of Quarternary age. These rocks are containing phenocrysts of analcime, olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase. The major textures of these rocks are porphyry with intersertal matrix. According to whole rock analysis of the study area, rocks they are trachy andesite and tephro-phenolite. Also these rocks are high potassic to shoshonitic nature with peralluminous character. Based on textural evidence analcime seems to be primary and formed directly from magma. The rocks of north Bozghoush shows a pronounced enrichment in LILE (Rb, Ba, Tb, U, k). Enrichment of incompatible elements of k and Rb and negative anomaly of Ti and Nb in these rocks are comparable with melts of lower crust. The spider diagrams and REE patterns show that the rocks of the study area are formed from the same source. Enrichment of incompatible elements can be related to mantle metasomatism or contamination of continental crust. In this regards negative anomaly of Ta, Nb and Tb (T N T) and also with respect of eventual Neo-Thetys subduction in this area and most probably enrichment of incompatible elements indicates effects of subduction on mantle sources. According to REE investigation most probably the main source of these rocks were phologopite-bearing garnet lherzolite, with partial melting rate of 4-6 percent, at a pressure of 30-35 Kb and the depth of 90-100 Km.
