Cancer is one of the main health challenges in numerous countries. It is the second leading cause of death globally and the third in Iran. In 2020, 19 million new cases and 10 million deaths from cancer were reported worldwide. This study aimed to investigate cancer mortality and morbidity rates in Behbahan City, southeast Khuzestan.

The required data for this descriptive study were collected from pathology, hospital, and death registry centers in Behbahan between 2014 and 2019. Necessary variables were gathered according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer standards, and tumor characteristics were coded according to the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition. The data were analyzed in SPSS26 software using descriptive statistics, negative binomial regression, and rank-order clustering analysis.

A total of 1,676 patients were identified, 52.5% of whom were male. The most common cancers in men were skin, prostate, and lung, while they were breast, skin, and blood in women. The annual incidence rate was 130.0 per 100,000 people (134.2 in men and 126.2 in women). The mean incidence and mortality rates increased with age (P<0.001) and did not differ significantly between men and women (P>0.05). Moreover, 606 deaths due to cancer were reported, of which 60.7% were men, and 29.7% were under 60 years old.

Considering the upward trend of the elderly population and an increase in cancer incidence at older ages, cancer prevention interventions are necessary.

A side weir is a hydraulic control structure used in irrigation and drainage systems and combined sewer systems. The Piano Key Weir (PKW) is a new type of long crest weirs that have a relatively simple structure and high economic efficiency structures. Due to the advantages of this weirs, it is necessary to study and investigate the Scour around of these structures as a side-weir. The present study focuses on investigate the scouring around the piano key Side weirs of the Type A at a 30° Section of a 180° Alluvial curved channel for clear water conditions. The results showed that at the end of the Side weir, longitudinal bar in the middle of the main channel and a scour hole close to the outer bank are formed because of the changes in shear stress field. The depth of clear-water scour increases by time and approaches the equilibrium state asymptotically depending on approach flow velocity. The equilibrium depth of scour depends on the dimensionless parameters of flow intensity, flow shallowness, weir crest height, side weir length and the maximum value of scour depth occurs at a depth when the approach flow intensity is equal to 1.0. Also, the scour equilibrium depth in the dimensionless ratio increased L/rc = 0.175 compared to L/rc = 0.125 in different flow velocity of 12 to 35%, 10 to 39% and 18 to 26%, respectively.

In this article, an attempt has been made to explain the necessity for creating an approach to Islamic social science from the perspective of the international meaningfulness arising from the Islamic Revolution, and based on the reconstruction of Morteza Motaharichr('39')s conception of the relationship between the two. Epistemologically and culturally, the Islamic Revolution should be considered as a turning point that put Iranian society on a different historical path. This fact causes the Islamic Revolution not to use modern social science in order to understand and design society. The main question is what in Motaharichr('39')s thought is the necessity of Islamic social science from the perspective of the international meaningfulness arising from the Islamic Revolution? To solve this problem, Motahharichr('39')s writings have been studied by the method of qualitative content analysis. Finally, we came to the conclusion that why the production of Islamic social science goes back to three things: "achieving the quorum of Islamic monotheism", "protecting the independence of our epistemological and social world", and "the inability of secular social science to understand our social realities.

Adolescence obesity has now become an epidemic. In recent years, Internet addiction has been identified as a risk factor for obesity. We aimed to evaluate the role of some mediators such as sleep quality, physical activity and fast food consumption in the relation between internet addiction and Body Mass Index (BMI) among adolescents.
Overall, 928 students, aged between 13 and 17 yr, were randomly selected in Behbahan, southwestern Iran from Oct 2017 to Dec 2017. Data were collected using a demographic survey, Young's internet addiction, Pittsburgh sleep quality, and food frequency, questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) path analysis.
PLS path analysis revealed that the direct effect of Internet addiction on BMI was (Path Coefficient = 0.16, [95% CI: 0.12- 0.21]). Moreover, the indirect effect of internet addiction on BMI through sleep quality was (f2 = 0.12 (P Results of this study regarding the relationship between internet addiction and BMI and the effect of this phenomenon on sleep quality, physical activity and dietary habits suggest planning prevention and treatment programs to reduce the prevalence of this phenomenon in schools

Introduction and Progress and technology have improved the management of infectious diseases and life expectancy on the one hand, and increased the prevalence of non-communicable diseases on the other. Today, the most serious challenges people face are accidents and toxicities, particularly traffic accidents that account for 12% of the global burden of disease and are the third leading cause of premature death in Iran. Accordingly, we performed an epidemiologic study on traffic accidents in Behbahan city, Iran, during 2006-2014.
This retrospective, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was performed among the victims of traffic accidents that were referred to the emergency department of Behbahan hospital in Behbahan city. Patient information including age and gender were collected and analyzed using SPSS 17.
During 2006-2014, a total of 55,108 casualties were recorded in Behbahan city, 26,798 (48.5%) of which were caused by traffic accidents. Car accidents, motorist accidents, and pedestrian accidents accounted for 30.9%, 58.8%, and 10.3% of the accidents. The prevalence rate of traffic accidents was 14 in 1000 cases, and the mortality rate was 29 in 100,000 cases. During this period, 7,814 cases of mortality were recorded, 826 (10.6%) of which were associated with accidents with traffic accidents accounting for 520 cases (62.9%). Further, 40% of the mortalities due to traffic accidents occurred on the scene of accident, while transferring to hospital, or in the casualty department.
The findings of this study showed that traffic accidents, casualties and mortalities, especially motorist accidents, are a major health and social problem in Behbahan city. Thus, taking the necessary measures to control and manage this major health threat is andatory.

Genus Trichoderma is a monophyletic fungus which some their species is known as biocontrol agent. This study was carried out for phylogenetic analysis of some isolates of the genus Trichoderma. In this study 73 sequences (including 33 sequences from T. aspereluum, T. brevicompactum, T. capillare, T. harzianum, T. koningiopsis, T. pleuroticola and T. virens and 40 sequences obtained from GeneBank and ISTH) were used in phylogenetic analysis. The biomass of isolates grown in PDB was harvested by filter paper. The genomic DNA was extracted from mycelia after freeze-drying. The regions of ITS-rDNA, tef1/In2-3 and tef1/In4 were amplified using common and specific primers and then sequenced. The data analyzed using maximum likelihood (ML) algorithm through selecting the best-fitting nucleotide substitution model in MEGA 6 software. The results showed that all phylograms present relatively similar relationships for isolates among supported clades. In all gene trees except ITS-based phylogram, the isolates of T. koningiopsis and T. asperellum were positioned within a basal clade with strong bootstrap support. The tef1-based phylogeny showed a stronger supported clade for the species of T. brevicompactum, T.virens, T.koningiopsis and T.pleuroticola compere to ITS-based phylogeny. The tef1/In.4 based ML analysis generated supportive clade for Trichoderma isolates such as T. asperellum. This study confirms that tef1α/Intron4-based phylogeny provide reliable clustering for Trichoderma species.

In this research, one of the modern narrations and readings about the Islamic Republic of Iran and Imam Khomeini’s agency in this regard has been criticized and abolished. In the first part, the incompatibility problem of the two concepts of “Islam” and “revolution” has been resolved
which includes three the lack of union of “Islam” and “Revolution” because of being belonged to two different conceptual worlds, conservatism of Islam and its social forces and sacred-like structuralism raised from believing in decree and destiny. Then, the issue of origin and nature of “political-Islamic” discourse has been studied. The main question of the paper is that whether the modern inferences based on secular humanities taken from the two concepts of Revolution and Political Islam are in proportion and in compliance with what has been realized in the Islamic Revolution and Imam Khomeini’s thought and practice or not. With the theoretical and experimental analyses, this result has been achieved that studying the Islamic Revolution and Imam Khomeini’s political agency in a modernistic approach would lead to distortion of the truth and nature of the Islamic Republic.
