Military/civilian relations have always been the focus of political science studies, and, military intervention in crisis caused by natural disasters has been considered as a different field from conventional but undesirable interventions in civilian affairs. Although the corona pandemic crisis has been different from other conventional natural disasters but affects the normal process of life beyond normal capacities of administrations then can be categorized as natural disasters and in practice military forces in most countries have participated in the management of this global crisis along with the political organization. NATO also played an important role in the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. How NATO intervenes in the Corona crisis is a central question that will be answered in this text. The results of this research show that NATO, not as a main actor, but in the form of a facilitator, has tried to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic from entering the stage of a contagious disease into a security crisis. This issue has been the red line of NATO in the issues that happened in the member countries, which has overshadowed the performance of the military forces and the Ministry of Defense of the mentioned countries. Obviously, during the period of spring 2020 to spring 2022, this military security organization will focus its efforts on disease control and the efficient implementation of the quarantine and social distancing policy through the use of executive operations, setting up camps and using logistics, distributing equipment and organizing forces to establish a state of martial law

 The aim of this research is to analyze the COVID-19 virus spatially based on demographic and geographic indicators in dry areas (in Qom metropolis).

 The data for this research was obtained through the available data from Qom University of Medical Sciences during the years 2018-1400. This information is based on the location of each person in the GIS software environment, and the methods of nearest neighbor index (NNI), global Moran's test, and general G statistic were used to measure spatial autocorrelation statistics.

 This research showed that the spread and pandemic of COVID-19 in some dry areas (Shahreqom) have more acute conditions than other localities.

 Based on the research findings, it can be said that the distribution pattern of this disease in the neighborhoods of Qom city is clustered and cluster type with high intensity. This relationship is stronger and with the highest frequency in the localities of Bajak Ik, Khakfaraj, Nirogah, and Shahrpardisan and in the localities of Hozovi and University and Fatemieh towns, which are the watery localities with the lowest frequency in terms of demographic and geographical indicators.

Innovation:

 Among the most important innovative and practical aspects of research, we can mention the use of GIS in the distribution and spread of COVID-19 in different urban areas of dry regions. In fact, among the applications of this research, it is possible to mention the field of behavior and spatiotemporal function of viruses similar to the type of COVID-19 virus, which provides a coherent intellectual framework for controlling and preventing its epidemic.

Infectious diseases cause behavioral and social changes. tourism industry and tourist guides are also changing like other sectors.Before the covid, Ardabil province was an active province in the field of nature and culture tourism, and nature guides and cultural guides of both groups were active in this province. So this study aims to examine the impacts of COVID-19 on different aspects of urban tourist guides' lives. this research was conducted as qualitative research in a phenomenological format. 16 tourist guides of Ardabil were investigated by snowball sampling method to collect data. the data was obtained using semi-structured interviews and analyzed in a seven-step Colaizzi method.based on the analysis the positive and negative dimensions of life were recorded in this period and 10 categories of meanings were identified for the lived experience of the tourist guides of Ardabil province during the outbreak of COVID-19, which are: changes in lifestyle, economic challenges and opportunities, transformation of employment pattern, changing in attitudes, advertising, compliance with health issues, changing forms of social relations, mental and psychological issues, stagnation in activities and organizational obstacles.

The objective of this study was to analyze and diagnose intellectual capital challenges within the healthcare and medical education system of North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, including both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The qualitative section involved interviews with 17 experts in the healthcare and medical education system, selected through purposive sampling. For the quantitative part, 278 presidents, deputies, and experts from the healthcare and medical education sectors were surveyed using stratified random sampling. Data collection involved field methods (interviews, questionnaires) and library research. MAXQDA software was used for qualitative data analysis, while SPSS22 and PLS3 were used for quantitative testing of components' validity and reliability. 

The study identified three main themes related to intellectual capital issues: structural weaknesses, human resource challenges, and communication problems. These factors were found to have a significant impact on the current and desired state of the healthcare and medical education systems during the pandemic. The analysis showed that the influence of these issues on intellectual capital retention exceeded the threshold of 1.96, indicating their critical role in affecting organizational efficiency and effectiveness during the COVID-19 crisis. 

The findings highlight that intellectual capital, particularly in terms of human resources, structural processes, and communication, plays a crucial role in the successful management of healthcare and educational systems during a crisis. Addressing these challenges through improved infrastructure, human resource development, and enhanced communication strategies can significantly improve organizational performance during future crises.

In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed considerable harm on economies globally. This situation has prompted researchers to thoroughly examine the issue from different perspectives and view bolstering the resilience of countries as the most effective strategy to address the vulnerabilities. Such efforts can mitigate the harmful effects and negative outcomes of the disease. The susceptibility of economic systems to the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic varies, with some being significantly more vulnerable to its effects. In this context, the greater a country's ability to mobilize its resources against such risks, the more resilient it becomes. Hence, economic resilience is regarded as a comprehensive approach to enhancing the existing capacities and reducing economic vulnerability in the face of various crises and environmental threats. Moreover, economic resilience is shaped by the implementation of economic policies and has an accumulative nature. Individuals and different schools of thought have focused on the concept of resilience within the economic realm, structuring their studies accordingly. Economic resilience emerges as a pervasive criterion in the literature on economic stabilization.In the economic discourse, particular emphasis is placed on assessing the composite index of economic resilience against external shocks, aiming to quantify this notion. This study sets out to investigate how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the economic resilience of countries across high, medium and low levels of income. Addressing 150 nations, this research employs the PSTR model over the timeframe spanning 2020 to 2021. The Economic Resilience Index is computed utilizing the Bruegel method for this inquiry. 

The PSTAR (Panel Smooth Transition Autoregressive) model is a powerful tool utilized to analyze nonlinearities and regime shifts in panel data. It extends traditional autoregressive models by allowing for smooth transitions between different states or regimes, thereby capturing complex dynamics in economic time series data.The PSTAR model assumes that the relationship between variables evolves smoothly over time and across different regimes. It is particularly useful in capturing threshold effects, where the impacts of one or more variables on the dependent variable change abruptly beyond a certain threshold level. This is achieved through the specification of transition functions, which determine how the model transitions occur between different regimes based on the values of certain threshold variables. The PSTAR model estimation involves several steps, including the specification of transition functions, estimation of model parameters using maximum likelihood or other suitable methods, and diagnostic checks to assess the model's goodness-of-fit and validity of assumptions. Additionally, we conduct robustness checks and sensitivity analyses to ensure the reliability of our findings.

This study reveals a significant negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic resilience of countries across different income levels. Employing a two-regime model, the analysis demonstrates a nonlinear correlation among the variables, suggesting varied adjustment speeds among economic regimes. Specifically, countries with high incomes experience a moderate pace of adjustment, those with moderate incomes adjust slowly, and low-income countries adjust rapidly. This suggests that economic changes in response to the pandemic occur at different speeds across income groups.The COVID-19 pandemic has induced structural and performance alterations in economies worldwide, including increased unemployment, reduced growth, and shifts in consumption and investment patterns. These changes, coupled with challenges such as quarantine restrictions and decreased incomes, have led to considerable adjustments in economic dynamics, varying in speed from one state to another.Overall, economic changes during the pandemic are of significant diversity across countries, affecting consumption and production behaviors, policy frameworks, and international relations. Threshold values, representing critical points of pandemic severity, determine whether economic variables behave linearly or nonlinearly. When the pandemic's impact surpasses these thresholds, economic variables begin shifting to nonlinear regimes.Estimations from the smooth panel regression approach indicate a notable negative effect of the pandemic on economic vulnerability, affecting countries with high, medium, and low incomes alike. Per capita GDP, remittances, and foreign direct investment emerge as key influencers of economic resilience. While per capita GDP decreases during the pandemic for high and medium-income countries, it increases in the second threshold regime and boosts economic resilience. Remittances positively impact economic resilience in high-income countries but negatively affect medium and low-income ones initially, transitioning to positive effects after crossing the threshold. Foreign direct investment initially reduces economic resilience across all income levels but becomes positive and significant in high-income countries after crossing the threshold.In summary, the study underscores the complex interplay between the COVID-19 pandemic and economic resilience, emphasizing the need for tailored policy responses to mitigate its adverse effects across different income groups.Conclusions and Policy Implications: Although the public health system is evolving, the world remains susceptible to shocks caused by contagious diseases that present fundamental challenges to economies. The vulnerability resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred countries to allocate more funds to ensure economic security and global health. Nations across the globe are working to reduce the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis through well-balanced policies, seeking to mitigate risks to the society as much as possible. To tackle the COVID-19 crisis, extensive actions are being taken, including sharing knowledge and experiences regarding strategies, policies and improvement plans, examining common responses, and coordinating actions to enhance resilience and effective recovery preparedness. Strengthening communication among policymakers, development planners, and relevant stakeholders, establishing strong multilateral institutions with political support for global health shock coordination, creating fast financial procurement mechanisms for essential goods, increasing investment in disease surveillance at global and regional levels, developing regional production capacities for vaccines, tests and medicines, sharing medical technology and knowledge, and transferring medical technologies are the measures being taken. Additionally, strategic approaches to national improvement, including economic and financial measures, effective financial procurement design, and financial resource mobilization efforts to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, are being pursued. These measures aim to enhance the resilience and sustainability of public health systems and foster systematic research and development for the preparation of effective and safe vaccines against any virus. Therefore, based on the findings of this research and similar studies, policymakers need to focus on strengthening the economic resilience of countries, in addition to implementing other policies aimed at reducing the spread of and preventing the COVID-19 disease. These actions may include policies to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, develop economic and social crisis response plans, and encourage the development of human resources needed to combat the disease and its economic impacts.

The present study was conducted to investigate the mediating role of parental burnout in the relationship between mental distress and child abuse in the covid-19 pandemic. The statistical population of the research included all mothers of secondary school students in Ardakan city in the academic year 1400-1401. 248 people were selected with convenience sampling and answered the standard child abuse questionnaires (CAQ) Hosseinkhani et al., (2012), psychological distress (DTQ) Kessler et al. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between mental distress and parental burnout with child abuse (P<0.05). Also, the results showed that parental burnout has a direct and significant effect on child abuse and mental distress on parental burnout (P<0.05). Also, psychological distress through parental burnout had an important indirect impact on child abuse (P<0.05). Therefore, the research model has a good fit, and psychological distress due to parental burnout is related to misbehaving children during the COVID-19 pandemic, and these findings can be used in educational programs and interventions related to families in epidemic conditions.

This study examines urban livability as a multidimensional framework for addressing future pandemics in urban settings, in response to the vulnerabilities exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research employs an applied, descriptive-analytical model, utilizing both documentary and survey methods (questionnaires) for data collection. The statistical population consists of residents from the Sabzdasht and Koy-e Golestan neighborhoods, with a sample size of 200 individuals from each area. Urban livability indicators were evaluated through a structured questionnaire. Analysis using independent T-tests and two-way ANOVA reveals that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the dimensions of “housing”, “transportation”, “economic”, “environmental”, and “leisure” in Sabzehdasht, and “environmental”, “economic”, and “leisure” in Koy-e Golestan, did not receive favorable assessments. Overall, urban livability indicators in both neighborhoods were below the statistical average, although livability in Sabzeh Dasht was significantly higher than in Koyi Golestan. These results highlight the need to enhance urban livability to better prepare for future pandemics.

The aim of the current study is to examine the role of spiritual-religious health in reducing stress and enhancing spiritual and psychological health among Iranian women during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Methods and Materials: 

This descriptive research included a sample of 384 Iranian women. After providing their consent, participants completed the research questionnaires on Google Forms, which included George's Religious Health Questionnaire, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). 

The research results, analyzed using AMOS24 software, indicate a relationship between the level of spiritual-religious health and religious beliefs and stress in women during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was confirmed due to the significance level being less than (P<0.05), and the use of spiritual-religious beliefs could explain and predict 40.3% of the stress in women. Additionally, the use of spiritual-religious health tools and religious beliefs and general psychological health in women was confirmed due to the significance level (P<0.05). The use of religious beliefs also explained and predicted 35.5% of the variance in women's general health during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The COVID-19 pandemic threatens the lives of millions of people worldwide. Religious beliefs have had a significant impact on reducing stress and anxiety and increasing general psychological health in Iranian women. The study results place a heavy responsibility on specialists in this field, especially in the Muslim country of Iran, to promote spiritual-religious aspects and change the lifestyle of women to make significant strides in women's health.

In the conditions of the spread of the Covid-19 virus and the pervasiveness of the transformation of everyday affairs in the heart of societies and the emergence of a critical control with the onslaught of references in the cyberspace, the present research has investigated the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the number of cybercrimes and media literacy. The research method is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of execution method. The statistical population includes university professors, lawyers, judges, lawyers, and IT experts in the year 1400-1401. The statistical sample was 90 people, which was selected from the society by stratified random sampling. We have also used the single-sample t statistic method to analyze the research hypotheses. In line with the investigation of the role of the covid-19 pandemic on increasing the level of media literacy and reducing cybercrimes, as well as the existence of a significant relationship between increasing media literacy and reducing the number of crimes in the cyber space, the results of the study show that the Covid-19 crisis has had a positive and significant effects in increasing the level of media literacy as well as the number of crimes. Despite the increase in media literacy, we are facing a slight increase in cybercrime, but in proportion to the amount of crowding of users in cyberspace and the number of crimes before the Covid-19 pandemic and during the pandemic, we can see a decrease in crimes.

The main goal of the present study was to determine the relationship between mentalization and grief experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. The moderator role of age and sex was investigated in the relationship between mentalization and the grief experience. For this purpose, 200 Iranian adolescent, adult and middle-aged men and women who had lost a family member or acquaintance during the epidemic period were selected using the available sampling method and completed the grief experience questionnaire (Mehdipour et al., 2009) and the reflective functioning questionnaire (Fonagy et al., 2016). Data analysis was done by calculating Pearson correlation and regression analysis. The results showed a significant positive relationship between RFQc and the grief experience. There was a significant negative relationship between RFQu and the grief experience. The relationship between RFQc and the grief experience, and RFQu and the grief experience didn’t depend on age and sex. According to the results of the research, mentalization during the grief experience can act as a protective factor. It is recommended to use mentalization in designing appropriate interveining approaches during the grief experience.

Pregnancy is associated with physical and emotional changes, and the special conditions of Covid-19 can increase the level of health anxiety. The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of short-term solution-oriented treatment on vaccine injection attitude and health anxiety in pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic. The design of the current research was a quasi-experimental type of pre-test and post-test. The statistical sample consisted of 30 pregnant women referring to the Center Integratedated HealthcServicesices in Siahkal County, who were selected purposefully and non-randomly, and was placed in groups of 15 people, the experimental and the control, by random allocation, signed to health anxiety questionnaires (Salkosix and Warwick, 1989) and vaccine attitude (Rahmanian et al., 2019) answered voluntarily. The experimental group received short-term solution-oriented therapy (De Sahzer et al., 2006) in 5 sessions, and the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed by analysis of covariance. The findings showed that short-term solution-oriented treatment has an effect on vaccine injection attitude and health anxiety in pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic (P<0.05). So that the average vaccine injection attitude in the experimental group increased from 27 to 48 in the post-test phase and the average health anxiety decreased from 52 to 32 in pregnant women. Based on the results presented about the descriptive indicators and the difference between the two test and control groups in the post-test of these indicators, it can be said that the short-term solution-oriented treatment reduces health anxiety (49%) and improves vaccine injection attitude (71%) has a significant effect in pregnant women during the Covid-19 pandemic.  Based on the educational content in this approach, instead of focusing on the problems that will arise from the hypothetical consequences of the Covid-19 vaccine, pregnant women should find a way by examining the evidence and the percentage of benefits and losses of inappropriate solutions such as avoiding the injection of the vaccine. They looked carefully for a solution to cure and eradicate this viral disease and in this way they have changed their attitude towards the Covid-19 vaccine. Therefore, the solution-oriented treatment was guided based on the solution of the elimination of covid-19 and the immunization of people through the change of attitude and hope for the health of the mother and the fetus. This approach in pregnant women focused on highlighting the capabilities and successes of vaccination and creating health in mothers and fetuses during the treatment process..Based on the obtained results, it can be said that in critical situations, with the use of solution-oriented and short-term interventions, it is possible to increase the attitude of health promotion through the injection of the Covid-19 vaccine in pregnant women and reduce their health anxiety.

Covid-19 disease has led to high workload and challenges to moral values in midwives. This study aimed investigating professional behavior in midwives, who work in the comprehensive urban health centers and hospitals under the auspices of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, during the pandemic of covid-19.

This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 400 midwives working in comprehensive urban health centers and hospitals under the auspices of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The samples were entered into the study by a multi-stage method with proportional allocation. Data collection tools were a self-report questionnaire including two sections of demographic information and a professional midwifery behavior questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS/25 using descriptive statistics and inferential.

According to the results, the rate of professional behavior in midwives working in comprehensive urban health centers and hospitals was 85.50%. The rate of professional behavior in each dimension was: dignity-based behavior dimension (86.81%), evidence-based performance dimension (83.39%), professional ethics dimension (87.88%), dimension Effective communication (81.23%), professional commitment dimension (87.51%). There was no difference between the professional behavior of hospital midwives and comprehensive urban centers midwives during the pandemic of covid-19 (P> 0.05).

Despite the high professional behavior of midwives as an active group of health and treatment staff in the covid-19 pandemic, some aspects of professional behavior, such as effective communication, have changed during Covid 19 Pandemic. So, there is a need to empower midwives in this area.
