Adopting health-promoting behaviors (HPBs) is the main way to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Unhealthy lifestyle choices during postmenopausal period can lead to serious complications. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the status of HPBs and their individual-social factors in postmenopausal women living in Neyshabur City, Iran.

Using stratified random sampling, this cross-sectional study was performed on 300 postmenopausal women referred to Neyshabur health centers in 2022. Data was collected using demographic characteristics and HPBs questionnaires. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and analytical statistics (T-test, one-way analysis of variance, multivariate regression test) were employed, data analysis was performed by SPSS software version 22, and the significance level was considered 0.05.  

The mean (standard deviation) of the whole score of HPBs and its dimensions including interpersonal relationships, nutrition, spiritual growth, health responsibility, stress management, and physical activity were 151.5(18.6), 31.9(4.4), 28.3 (3.9), 25.6 (3.9), 25.01(5.01), 23.9(3.7), and 16.8 (4.9), respectively. The highest and the lowest mean scores of HPBs dimensions were related to interpersonal relationships and physical activity, respectively. There were significant differences in the whole score of HPBs by level of education (P= 0.002), economic status (P < .001), and spouse's education level (P= 0.002).  

According to the results of this study, postmenopausal women’s HPBs status was moderate, Thus, certain policies should be designed and conducted to promote behaviors in postmenopausal women. Also, more attention should be paid to their physical activity.

The subject and background of the upcoming research is the introduction of the manuscript of Shamayel al-Ataqiya and Razayel al-Ashqiya by Roknoddin Dabir Kashani in the way of Cheshtiye. In Sufism attributed to elders and learned man Chesht, Chesht is a district in old Khorasan that has been an influential method not only in Iran but also in the Indian subcontinent. The mystical foundations of this Sufi tradition have been codified by popular elders and scholars including Moein al-Din Cheshti, Nezamuddin Olya, Burhan al-Din Gharib, and other great figures of this dynasty. A large part of Cheshtieh's ideas and beliefs are in the form of "requirements" in the words of the elders and the masters of the aforementioned way, compiled by their disciples. In this essay, the main purpose is to investigate and deceit the views and thoughts of Sufism in this essay.

The following essay, which has been conducted by descriptive-analytical method based on document analysis and library studies, and by reviewing the existing version of the Shamayel al-Ataqiya and Razayel al-Ashqiya, we will examine the thoughts of taste mysticism in these works.

In the essay of "Shamayel al-Ataqiya and Razayel al-Ashqiya ", work of Rokn al-Din Kashan named "Spiritual Teacher" which is one of the Sufis of the aforementioned Sufis in the 8th century, the teachings and oral instructions of Sufi Cheshtieh have been written. The author has tried to convey the teachings of this way correctly. From the essay "Shamayel al-Ataqiya and Razayel al-Ashqiya", there is a stone print in 1968 AH. Hyderabad Deccan and several non-printed copies.

The results of this study indicate that paying attention to practical Sufism, cite, dignity, repentance, allegiance, communication, discipleship and awakening, purification and awakening, and Sama’ are among the things that Roknoddin Dabir Kashani has considered as the most important customs of The Way of Cheshtiya in his treatise.

Psychological distress is one of the minor psychiatric disorders that can be used as a predictor of serious mental illnesses such as depressive and anxiety disorders. These disorders are predictors of death from cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of psychological distress and its related factors.

This descriptive- analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018. The study population included 1103945 subjects aged 18-65 years old that presented to the health centers of Khorasan Razavi.  In this study, demographic checklists and the six-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-6) were used.

The prevalence of psychological distress was 10.10%. The mean age of the subjects was 35.99 ± 10.46 years old, 62.10% were female, 86% were married, and 78.90% had a high school education or less. The response rate was 98.6%. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant relationship between psychological distress and age, gender, marital status, education, location, and occupation.

In this study, the prevalence of psychological distress was low. According to the odds ratio (OR), divorced women, illiterate women, housewives, and big city dwellers were high-risk groups for psychological distress. Considering the relatively large sample size, it is necessary to develop appropriate strategies for prevention and treatment, and training of these groups.

In the turn of present century, dramatic changes have taken place in education and society. Among these changes, the change from an industrial to a knowledge-based society, the change from information technology and new information in various scientific fields, and the change in occupations can be mentioned. As a result, education has faced many shortcomings based on the level of the expectations of the society and its outputs. Due to the changes in the objective of the educational systems and the changes in the dimensions of people's lives, the teacher researcher paradigm has been considered by most teacher training systems in recent years, and that is why, it has led to some reforms in teacher training programs. The main and most important components of teacher training, curriculum, consists of goals, content, teaching method and evaluation. The present study explains the goals of the curriculum based on a teacher-researcher training at Farhangian University. The goals of the study are comprised of three areas of knowledge, competence, and attitude. According to the objectives of the study a mixed research method of the exploratory type was used which consists of two qualitative and quantitative stages. In the qualitative stage interpretive phenomenological method of data collection tool was used and In the quantitative stage, a descriptive survey method was utilized.

Inthe qualitative section, the research population comprised of the experts in the field of teacher training among which the appropriate instances were selected through targeted sampling and the required information was collected through a semi-structured interview. Theoretical saturation was achieved from interviews with 15 experts. In the analysis of the text of the interview the interpretive content analysis was used. To validate the data, credibility, transferability, reliability and validation were used. In the quantitative stage, the research population were the faculty members of different campuses of Farhangian University, among which four provinces were selected as the sample. The multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to select the sample and using Cochran's formula 274 people were selected among the faculty members of campuses and provincial centers. Data collection was done through a researcher-made questionnaire which was extracted from the qualitative part of the research. The data were analyzed by using a single sample T-test and Friedman test.

In this study, the goals of the curriculum were explained in terms of knowledge, ability and attitude. The results showed that the area of knowledge includes reflection, critical thinking, scientific expertise and research knowledge. The area of ability is comprised of the ability to perform research, to write, to be creative, to act systematically, to be independent and self-sufficient; and the area of the attitude includes interest in research and having no prejudice and stereotypes. The quantitative results of the study also showed that the components of attention and accuracy in relation to the issues of education in the field of knowledge, students' ability to self-assess; in the area of ability, and avoidance of prejudice and black and white thinking, and in the area of attitude received the most attention by the faculty members. There is clear evidence of a gap between the goals of the Farhangian University at the executive level in terms of knowledge, ability and attitude.

This study showed that the goals of the teacher taining curriculum need a general reformation at the executive level. It is important to pay attention to all areas of goals including knowledge, ability, and attitude and It is necessary to pay equal attention to all areas and to combine theoretical courses with the required practical work in teacher training programs. 

Calcium channels are cell membrane proteins that play an important role in control the Ca ion flux through the membrane. In this study, the effect of external constant electric field on the dynamics of calcium ions in a L-type channel, located within a stochastically fluctuating medium, is modeled via the application of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. The obtained results show that application of constant field of 0.03 V/nm did not show significant effect on the ions motion. On the other hand, when the channel is exposed to a constant electric field of strength 0.3 V/nm, the ions directional motion along the applied field is observed. Furthermore, it is found that no net motion is observed when the field direction is changed.

In order to study the effects on salinity and silicon application on yield and yield components of purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized desgin with three replications and two factors consisted of four different levels of salinity using NaCl (0, 7, 14, 21dS/m) and two levels of silicon (application of one mMol sodium silicate and not application). Increasing salinity concentration significantly caused a negative effect on seed yield. But yield components such as number and weight of seed were more sensitive than number of capsul in main stem in final seed yield. Application of silicon increased seed yield in control but was not significant in salinity levels and leaves and stem biomass. Seed yield and total seed weight in branches was significantly decresed. Weight of 1000 seed in main stem and branches was not significantly different in salinity levels. As a result, purslane could be extremely tolerated to saline conditions, so it seems that it can be cultivated in saline soils and arid regions. Also applied silicon can be increase yield and plant tolerance to environmental stress.

There are some reports indicating that the Glu298Asp polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aims of the present study were to evaluate possible association between the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene polymorphism of Glu298Asp (G894T) and occurrence of CAD and diabetes in type II diabetic patients with and without CAD. Subjects and

In this case-control study, the polymorphism of eNOS Glu298Asp was detected using PCR-RFLP method in 203 diabetic patients with/without CAD, 105 CAD patients and 92 healthy subjects according to angiographic evidence. All studied individuals were from Kermanshah, a city in western Iran.

The frequencies of three eNOS genotypes of GG, GT and TT were not significantly different in diabetic patients with CAD (53.9%, 40.2% and 5.9%, respectively) compared to those without CAD (59.4%, 35.6% and 5%, respectively, P= 0.730). But the frequencies of these genotypes in diabetic patients with CAD were significantly different compared to those of control subjects (72.8%, 26.1% and 1.1%, respectively, P=0.013). Although the frequencies of these genotypes in diabetic patients without CAD were not significantly different compared with those of control subjects (P=0.08), the mutant allele in diabetic patients was seen more.

The eNOS 298Asp mutation is common in diabetic patients with CAD and also in CAD patients from Kermanshah. This might be associated with occurrence of CAD in patients with or without diabetes.
