Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder and characterized by impairments in a wide range of cognitive domains. Allen Cognitive Level Screen has been used extensively by occupational therapists as a quick screening tool to derive a view of cognitive function in people with psychiatric disabilities. Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) is a computerized neuropsychological assessment battery which is commonly used to assess an executive functioning. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between two measures of executive function used by different disciplines (Allen cognitive level test and CANTAB) when assessing persons with schizophrenia. In this cross-sectional study, the relation between Allen cognitive level test`s outcome and subtests of CANTAB (SWM, SSP & IED(were investigated in 30 patients with chronic schizophrenia (Mean age= 39, man=80%,woman=20%). Allen cognitive level test was used to measure cognitive level and Spatial Span (SSP) to measure working memory capacity, Spatial Working Memory (SWM) to evaluate working memory and its strategy of usage and Intra/Extra dimensional Set Shift (IED) to assess attentional set shifting. All the data was analyzed by SPSS-16. No Significant correlation was found between cognition levels of Allen test and SWM subtest (rS= -0/046; P=0/811), SSP (rS=0/009; P= -0/024) and IED (rS= -0/074; P=0/699). The findings of this study suggest that although patients with schizophrenia might have problems in cognitive component, they may show less problem in performing goal directed activities. In addition, the approaches of evaluation based on which the tests have been planned should be considered for investigating the correlation between two tests. It seems that the results of a top-down approach may be different from those of a bottom-up approach.

Cognition, a quite complicated skill, is the base of all goal- directed functions of human beings. The impact of cognitive disorders on the functioning of neurologic and psychiatric patients could not be more emphasized. Thus, careful assessment of cognitive capacity to predict how well these kinds of patient will function seems to be necessary. Allen cognitive level screen (ACL) provides a quick estimate of current capacity to learn and remained abilities of patients with cognitive impairments. In this analytical- descriptive study, cognitive levels of 30 inpatients and 30 outpatients with schizophrenia as well as 30 normal subjects were evaluated and subsequently were compared using ACLS. The impact of demographic variables on cognitive level was also determined. Results were statistically analyzed through Pearson correlation and one-way ANOVA. Statically significant difference was found between ACL scores of normal people and patient groups (P < 0.001). There was also a difference between ACL scores of outpatients and inpatients with schizophrenia (P < 0.001). Cognitive level was shown to have a positive correlation with education(r = 0.545), illness-onset age (r = 594) and a negative correlation with length of illness (r = -0.574), period of institutionalization (r = -0.454). There was no significant correlation between cognitive level and demographic variables in normal group. The results of this study indicate that normal group’s cognition level was higher than schizophrenic patients and that the cognitive level of outpatients was better than inpatients. Illness onset age, period of institutionalized, length of illness and education all can influence cognitive level of schizophrenic patients.

As the morphological traits of cyanobacteria changes in different culture media, their taxonomical position has been argued in recent years. To determine a reliable taxonomic system concerning the culture media the main target is to have the highest rate of morphological stability in the medium where dimensions of filaments, trichomes, vegetative cells, heterocysts and spores have a normal frequency. Nostoc ellipsosporum and Nostoc muscorum which are the most frequent species of paddy fields in Golestan province were cultured on Allen’s and Benecks culture media. Morphological variations of length and width of heterocysts, akinetes and vegetative cells were measured from day first up to the end of the experiment (21 days) meeting the static phase of growth. Observations showed that vegetative cells of both species became reformatted on Benecks medium being spiral up to the end of experiment. Heterocystous also had a bony form while in Allen's medium the species had their natural form. The results of the statistical analysis of data obtained from factorial experiment in a completely randomized design and from Duncan test together with dendrograms showed significant differences in most measured characteristics at 95% level. Hence Allen medium is suggested to be used when less morphological variation and a normal distribution of the characteristics is expected. According to the results new taxonomic keys also were designed.

Health concepts is influenced by complex of physical, mental, social, spiritual, cultural, and environmental factors. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of Persian version of mental, physical, and spiritual well-being scale and its subscales among the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
After reviewing the available instruments in this field and considering cultural and social condition of Iranian community, Vella-Brodrick and Allen’s mental, physical, and spiritual standard well-being scale and its subscales was selected, translated, and back translated to Persian. This cross-sectional study conducted on 500 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sampling was performed using cluster and multistage sampling method. Construct validity was determined using explanatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was ascertained using Cronbach’s alpha. The stability was confirmed using intraclass correlation coefficients. The suitability of the data analysis was tested using the Bartlett's chi-square test of sphericity, and the sampling adequacy using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test.
Findings: Total Cronbach’s alpha was 0.58. 22 question in 3 determined areas explained 42.71 of the total variance. Cumulative variances of all the different subscales were more than 0.5 which showed the credential convergence.
This study results revealed that psychometric properties of Persian version of Vella-Brodrick and Allen’s mental, physical, and spiritual well-being scale and its subscales were borderline and not at optimal level. It seems that the scale should be assessed again after making changes in demographic characteristics or target group.

Plant water requirement or evapotranspiration (ET) is one of the main components of water balance and a key factor in irrigation planning to improve water use efficiency of agricultural lands. Different methods have been proposed to determine evapotranspiration directly using lysimeter and indirectly using computational methods. Evaporation pan is one of the indirect, simple and suitable methods for estimating the evapotranspiration of the reference plant and the main plant, which shows the combined effects of atmospheric parameters such as air temperature, air humidity, radiation and wind. In this study, using 20-year meteorological data (1999-2018) of the all synoptic stations in Kurdistan province, the value of pan coefficient was estimated using the methods Cuenca (1989), Raghuwanshi & wallender (1998), Modified Snyder, Mohamed et al (2008), Allen and Pruitt (1991), Snyder (1992), Orang (1998), Pereira (1995), Christiansen (1990) and FAO-24 (1997). In order to evaluate the accuracy of estimating evapotranspiration obtained from pan evaporation mehod, the FAO Penman-Mantith 56 method was used. To evaluate the accuracy of the models and to select the best one, four indicators; (RMSE), (MAE), (MBE) and t-test were used. The final results showed that on a daily, monthly and seasonal basis, the methods of FAO-24 (1997) and Christiansen (1990) had the best performance and the methods of Raghuwanshi & Wallender (1998) and Allen and Perot (1991) had the worst performance.

Aim of study is determining the effect of job commitment on organizational commitment with moderating role intimacy in family of origin. In this descriptive-correlational study, all the Medical staff of public hospitals in Isfahan city in year 2016 constituted the research population. From this population, 262 people by formula Tabachnick, Fidell & Ullman (2007) were selected through convenience sampling method. In this study, job commitment Farah bakhsh (2011), Allen & Meyer organizational commitment questionnaire (1990) and family of original scale of Hovestadt, Anderson, Piercy, Cochran & Fine (1985) were used for data collection in this study. Evaluation of the proposed model with path analysis using AMOS-24 software was done. The indirect relationships were tested by using bootstrapping procedure in Preacher and Hayes Macro command. The proposed model had an acceptable fitness to the data. Overall, the results showed all the direct paths were found significant (P<0.01). Also this model showed indirect job commitment on organizational commitment, through moderating role intimacy in family of origin. The evaluated model has a good fit and is an important step in identifying the factors that are effective in organizational commitment. Therefore, the model can be useful for the design and improving of organizational commitment programs.
