There is a close relationship between maternal and fetal thyroid function. Considering the effect of complications caused by thyroid disorders on pregnancy, the present study was conducted to determining the prevalence of thyroid disorders in pregnant women referring to health centers in Bojnurd.

In this descriptive study, 968 pregnant women under 20 weeks who visited Bojnord health centers for routine pregnancy care were included in the study as a census and were examined regarding serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Levels. TSH levels higher than 3.9 and lower than 0.2 milliunits per liter were considered hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, respectively. The results were analyzed using descriptive and chi-square tests.

In this study, 15.7% of pregnant women had hypothyroidism and 1.5% had hyperthyroidism. The prevalence of hypothyroidism was higher in multiparous women than in primiparous women. Having a family history of thyroid disorders was related to serum TSH levels, but this relationship was not significant (P = 0.07). The chi-square test results showed no significant statistical difference between the studied variables in terms of suffering from thyroid disorders.

Considering the relatively high prevalence, complications, and risks of thyroid disorders in the mother and fetus, it is recommended to conduct studies in the future to identify the causes and factors affecting the prevalence of thyroid disorders, including environmental or nutritional factors in different regions.

 Midwifery services comprise community health. In addition to the tensions of the educational environment, the students of this field are also exposed to the tensions of the clinical environment. With consideration to the importance of midwifery education, the current research was conducted with the aim of determining the stress factors in the clinical education of midwifery students.

 This cross-sectional goal-oriented study was conducted in the fall of 1400. The research tools consisted of a personal information questionnaire and a survey questionnaire on stress factors in clinical education, including stress factors in eight areas, which were distributed among 85 midwifery students in North Khorasan province. Then, the data were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS 23 and statistical indicators of mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution and Chi-square.

 80 out of 85 students completed the questionnaires. Clinical stressors were generally ranked as low stress with a score of 189. The areas of unpleasant feelings and clinical experiences, patient, educational environment and student’s skills were ranked as low stress with the respective scores of 196, 145, 174, 171. Clinical instructor and clinical experiences areas with scores of 225 and 254 ranked as medium stress. The student's personality was ranked as stress-free with a score of 132.

 Considering the higher level of stress in the areas of the instructor and clinical experiences, it is necessary to reduce the tension by dealing with its sources so that the students can perform their duties as stable and efficient forces after graduation.

Quran’s Text differs from any other texts in terms of its exceptional concepts, ideas and subjects. To recognize the valuable implicit patterns through a vast amount of data has lately captured the attention of so many researchers. Text Mining provides the grounds to extract information from texts and it can help us reach our objective in this regard. In recent years, Text Mining on Quran and extracting implicit knowledge from Quranic words have been the object of researchers’ focus. It is common that in Quranic experts’ arguments, different sides of the discussion present different intellectual, logical and some non-integrated minor evidence in order to prove their own theories. More often than not, every side of these arguments disapproves of the other’s hypothesis and in the end it is impossible for them to reach a state of consensus on the matter, the reason is that, they do not have a common basis for their arguments and they do not make use of scientific, logical methods to strongly support their theories. Therefore, using modern technological trends regarding Quranic arguments could lead to resolving so many of current discrepancies, caused by human errors, which exist among Quranic researchers. It can help providing a common ground for their arguments in order to reach a comprehensive understanding.
The method used in this research implements frequent pattern mining algorithms, singular frequent patterns as well as dual and tripe frequent patterns in order to analyze Quranic text, in addition to this, Association rules have also been evaluated in the research.
Out of 54226 extracted association rules for Quranic words which have been evaluated by the use of criteria such as confidence coefficient, support coefficient, lift criteria as well as Co-efficient criteria. Top 10 rules for each criterion have been analyzed and reviewed throughout the project.

Pregnancy is viewed as a stressful experience. Anxiety and excitement at the beginning of pregnancy will have a direct impact on pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed at investigating the effect of group training of stress management with a solution-focused approach on pregnancy stress.
This clinical trial conducted on sixty highly stressed pregnant women with the gestational age of 17-20 weeks who referred to healthcare centers in Bojnourd in 2015. Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) was used to screen highly stressed mothers and those who scored above 21.8 were selected for the study and were randomly assigned into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group received group training of stress management for 4 weekly 90-minute sessions. The control group received routine healthcare. Data analyzed through t-test, paired t-test, chi-square and SPSS software.
The mean score of perceived stress in the intervention group significantly decreased on the post test (PConsidering the effectiveness of solution-focused stress management training in reducing the stress of pregnant women, it is suggested that educational workshops be held during pregnancy to help mothers manage their stress during pregnancy and to promote their mental health during pregnancy.
