Part-Whole Perception of Audiovideoimages of Multimodal Emotional States of a Person
Authors: Barabanschikov V.A. , Suvorova E.V.
Published: February 2023

The patterns of perception of a part and a whole of multimodal emotional dynamic states of people unfamiliar to observers are studied. Audio-video clips of fourteen key emotional states expressed by specially trained actors were randomly presented to two groups of observers. In one group (N=96, average age — 34, SD — 9.4l.), each audio—video image was shown in full, in the other (N=78, average age — 25, SD — 9.6l.), it was divided into two parts of equal duration from the beginning to the conditional middle (short phonetic pause) and from the middle to the end of the exposure. The stimulus material contained facial expressions, gestures, head and eye movements, changes in the position of the body of the sitters, who voiced pseudolinguistic statements accompanied by affective intonations. The accuracy of identification and the structure of categorical fields were evaluated depending on the modality and form (whole/part) of the exposure of affective states. After the exposure of each audio-video image from the presented list of emotions, observers were required to choose the one that best corresponds to what they saw. According to the data obtained, the accuracy of identifying the emotions of the initial and final fragments of audio-video images practically coincide, but significantly less than with full exposure. Functional differences in the perception of fragmented audio-video images of the same emotional states are revealed. The modes of transitions from the initial stage to the final one and the conditions affecting the relative speed of the perceptual process are shown. The uneven formation of the information basis of multimodal expressions and the heterochronous perceptogenesis of emotional states of actors are demonstrated.
Peculiarities of Categorical Perception of Dynamic Expressions of Complex Emotions
Authors: Khoze E.G. , Zhegallo A.V. , Korolkova O.A.
Published: February 2023

We studied the categorical perception of dynamic expressions of complex emotions. A cluster analysis of perception of 70 expressions of 31 complex emotions from the CAM database was performed. An analysis of the consistency of assessments was carried out, and the signs of basic emotions in the assessments of the perception of expressions of complex emotions demonstrated by 1–3 different posers were investigated. In general, a low level of consistency in the assessments of the perception of expressions of complex emotions of negative categories is shown, in contrast to positive ones, which are evaluated more consistently. An analysis of the intensity of the leading features of basic emotions in the assessments of the expressions of different posers demonstrating the same complex emotion showed the dominance of a relatively stable structure of categories. Most of the expressions of different posers demonstrating the same complex emotion (69.33%) have similar assessments of the leading signs of basic emotions and fall into the same category, but a number of the expressions of complex emotions (30.77%) have more pronounced signs of additional basic emotions and fall into different categories. These emotions do not have a single mimic pattern and may have signs of basic emotions of opposite valence. The categorical perception of complex emotions is diverse and requires additional research.
The Interrelation of Analytical and Affective Assessments in the Virtual Choice of Goods by the Consumer
Authors: Meshcheryakov B.G. , Nazarov A.I. , Shokin Y.V.
Published: February 2023

One of the controversial issues in modern behavioral economics is associated with the role of emotional and rational criteria for the consumer's choice of goods for purchase. Until recently, the economic theories of such a choice were dominated by an intellectualistic approach, in which the decisive role was attributed to the rational criterion. Recently, both the opposite point of view and the recognition of the role of the interaction of both criteria in making a decision by the buyer have appeared. This article presents the results of a pilot experiment in which the subjects evaluated the images of a pair of cars and made a decision about the possible purchase of one of them. The assessments were made in two ways: either on a 7-point “like-dislike” scale (global emotional assessment), or on four specified criteria (rational assessment). The main issue of the experiment was to determine the predictive power of one or another type of assessment in the final choice of the purchased car. From the data obtained in the experiment, the main conclusions follow: 1) affective estimates are inferior in predictive power to total analytical estimates if the choice of an object is made immediately after its analytical estimates, but they are not significantly inferior in the condition when the choice is made when it is postponed; 2) affective assessments are inferior in the success of election predictions to analytical assessments in the younger age group (subjects under 40), but do not differ significantly in this in the older age group; 3) affective assessments are most closely related to analytical assessments of car design, which, in turn, are the closest in terms of the success of election predictions to the total analytical assessments. All this suggests that there is no absolute advantage of any strategy (rational or emotional) choice in the presence of several alternatives.

Authors: Barabanov D.D.
Published: February 2023

The article is aims to clarify the features of relationship between volitional regulation and procrastination. The results of an empirical study obtained on a student sample are presented. The study involved 1-4 years university students of Lomonosov Moscow State University (N=304) from sociology, chemistry and mechanics and mathematics faculties (average age 19.58 years old, st. dev. 1.57). The following techniques were used: the formalized self-rating technique of V.A. Ivannikov, E.V. Aidman, "Action Control Scale" by J. Kuhl in adaptation of S.А. Shapkin, Purpose in life test of Crumbaugh and Maholick in adaptation of D.A. Leontiev and General procrastination scale (C. Lay) in adaptation of O.S. Vindecker and M.V. Ostanina. The results show that students with more developed volitional regulation are less prone to procrastination. There were no significant differences in the indicators of volitional regulation and procrastination between students of different courses and faculties.

Published: February 2023

The purpose of the study is to analyze the structure of the psychological determinants of subjective well-being and identify the most significant set of determinants that form the resources of the psychological well-being in sports coaches. This parameter is important due to objective conditions, which significantly increases stress and reduces the quality of life of subjects of professional sport. The participants were 200 professional sports coaches (89 women, 111 men), Mage=39 years, Mexprience=12 years. The psychological determinants were measured with the Brief Differential Perfectionism Inventory (Zolotareva et al, 2021), the General Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem 1995), the Moscow Authenticity Scale (Nartova-Bochaver et al, 2021), the Self-Control Scale (Tangney et al. 2004), the Coach—Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (Jowett & Ntoumanis, 2004).Psychological well-being was measured with two inventories: the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (Tennant et al., 2007) and the PERMA-Profiler (Butler and Kern, 2015).The structure of psychological determinants was reduced to four factors by factor analysis and then the determinants from each factor were regressed on the well-being measures utilizing stepwise multiple regression modeling producing the most significant set of the well-being determinants. The results showed that the resources of psychological well-being in sports coaches can be determined by four groups of predictors. The first group: meaning and positive emotions; the second group: authenticity dedication, and experience; the third group: achievements, negative emotions, involvement, and age; and the fourth one: meaning, self-efficacy, and age.

Authors: Logvinova M.I.
Published: February 2023

The article presents the results of the development and testing of the author's methodology, designed to identify signs of youth subculture in a youth group and allow to characterize its type. The methodology is based on the idea that subcultural communities have a number of external and internal distinctive features, differ based on the level of social activity and orientation. The socio-psychological model of the youth subculture was updated, including organizational, socio-cultural and socio-practical components. The approbation took place on a sample of 284 people. The psychometric assessment of the technique allows us to speak of a sufficiently high level of its reliability, validity and internal consistency, which indicates the possibility of considering it as a measurement tool in psychological research.
Kimura's disease

Published: February 2023

The analysis of published clinical observations on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with Kimura's disease, which is a rather rare chronic inflammatory disease of human soft tissues of unknown etiology, is presented. The onset of Kimura's illness is hardly noticeable. The disease proceeds sluggishly, with a varied clinical picture, most often with the formation of single or multiple subcutaneous nodules or tubercles and swelling in the head and neck on one or both sides. Other localizations of lesions are also described: limbs, orbit, eyelids, palate, pharynx, armpit, chest, inguinal region. The affected areas gradually increase in size over many months or years. Other clinical manifestations of Kimura's disease are presented in the form of edema of the extraocular muscle, juvenile temporal arteritis, sleep apnea in cases of damage to the larynx, and life-threatening coronary artery spasm in children. There are reports of other rare systemic clinical signs of Kimura's disease in the form of pruritus, eczema and rash. The disease is often associated with regional lymphadenopathy and/or salivary gland involvement, eosinophilia, and an increase in serum immunoglobulin E from 800 to 35,000 IU/mL. The disease may be accompanied by kidney damage in the form of glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. Most reported cases of Kimura's disease occur in young Asian men in their 20s and 30s, sporadically the disease is diagnosed in Europeans, North Americans, Caucasians, and Africans. Diagnosis of Kimura's disease is often clinically difficult. It is primarily based on excisional biopsy of the lesion or regional lymph nodes, and the histopathological findings are consistent regardless of the location of the lesion. Morphologically, Kimura's disease is characterized by the presence in biopsy specimens of such histological features as reactive follicular hyperplasia with prominent follicles surrounded by fibrous tissue. Interfollicular infiltrates are rich in plasma cells and eosinophils, which form diffuse eosinophilic microabscesses associated with granulomatous inflammation. The vessels are numerous, with an increase in postcapillary venules. At the same time, the blood vessels remain thin-walled, with cuboidal endothelial cells. Treatment issues are highlighted, and differences between Kimura's disease and angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia are presented.

BACKGROUND: Recent research results indicate that inflammatory cellular responses can play a significant role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in humans and experimental animals, with a predominance in infiltrates of lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages that contribute to destructive processes in the vascular wall. However, no comparative, differentiated morphometric analysis of the content of mononuclear cells in unstable and stable atherosclerotic lesions has been carried out so far.
AIM: Carrying out comparative histological and morphometric examination of quantitative content of lymphocytes and macrophages in normal vascular wall, in lipid stain, in unstable and in stable atherosclerotic lesions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study material was samples taken during 15 autopsies aged 56 to 71 years who died from acute cardiovascular failure of atherosclerotic etiology. A comparative histological and morphometric study of the content of mononuclear cells: lymphocytes and macrophages in normal areas of the vascular wall, in lipid stains, in unstable and stable atherosclerotic lesions was carried out a total of 50 tissue samples stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
RESULTS: A sharp increase in the content of studied cells in intima, atheromatous nucleus and adventition in unstable atherosclerotic plaques was revealed. In normal areas of the vascular wall, in initial atherosclerotic lesions and in stable plaques, the number of macrophages and lymphocytes is small.
CONCLUSIONS: In general, the results obtained are well consistent with the literature and suggest in favor of the need for lymphocytes and macrophages to form immuno-inflammatory reactions in the formation of unstable atherosclerotic lesions in humans.

Published: February 2023

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) having features of dense fibrotic stromal and extracellular matrix (ECM) components has poor clinical outcome. In vitro construction of relevant preclinical PDAC models recapitulating the tumor-stroma characteristics is therefore in great need for the development of pancreatic cancer therapy. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous PDAC microtissue based on a dot extrusion printing (DEP) system is reported. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel beads encapsulating human pancreatic cancer cells and stromal fibroblasts were printed, which demonstrated the capacity of providing ECM-mimetic microenvironments and thus mimicked the native cell-cell junctions and cell-ECM interactions. Besides, the spherical structure of the generated hydrogel beads, which took the advantage of encapsulating cells in a reduced volume, enabled efficient diffusion of oxygen, nutrients and cell waste, thus allowing the embedded cells to proliferate and eventually form a dense pancreatic tumor-stroma microtissue around hundred microns. Furthermore, a tunable stromal microenvironment was easily achieved by adjusting the density of stromal cells in the hydrogel beads. Based on our results, the produced heterogeneous pancreatic microtissue recapitulated the features of cellular interactions and stromal-like microenvironments, and displayed better anti-cancer drug resistance than mono-cultured pancreatic cancer spheroids. Together, the DEP system possesses the ability to simply and flexibly produce GelMA hydrogel beads, providing a robust manufacturing tool for the pancreatic cancer drug screening platform fabrication. In addition, the engineered pancreatic tumor-stroma microtissue based on bioprinted GelMA hydrogel beads, other than being ECM-biomimetic and stroma-tunable, can be used for observation in situ and may serve as a new drug screening platform.
El tratamiento de la Memoria Histórica en el álbum ilustrado Rosa Blanca

Published: February 2023

A través de la Memoria Histórica, la Historia con mayúsculas se ha convertido en una fuente inagotable para narrar grandes historias con minúscula. De manera paralela, el paso de una cultura eminentemente letrada a otra más visual con predominio de la imagen ha favorecido la progresiva incorporación en el ámbito educativo de fuentes procedentes de la cultura popular, cuyos autores se aproximan al hecho histórico desde una perspectiva más íntima y reflexiva. En el presente artículo se fundamenta el potencial del álbum ilustrado como fórmula narrativa complementaria al manual escolar o libro de texto de Historia, especialmente en el tratamiento de temas complejos y delicados, como el Holocausto nazi. Además, se propone un modelo de análisis que tiene en cuenta las particularidades de este género artístico en la construcción de la historiografía por medio de la incorporación de imágenes que van más allá de ser una redundancia o aclaración del texto. Para el cumplimiento de ambos objetivos, una vez analizado la concepción actual de la narración histórica, se estudia en detalle el álbum Rosa Blanca, contextualizado en la ocupación nazi durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Published: February 2023

Surgical approaches to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have been associated with a change from invasive to non-invasive methods in the last 20 years. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 55 patients with primary adenoma-induced HPT underwent surgery. The parathyroid gland in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid adenoma was removed by open surgery with an incision of about 2 cm in the neck in a targeted manner in a site localized by ultrasound or Sestamibi scan. The patients' personal information, including age, sex, length of hospital stay, serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, success rate, and problems and unwanted adverse consequences of surgery (e.g. infection and bleeding) were recorded for each patient and collected information was analyzed in SPSS software. Most patients were women (80%) and individuals in the age range of 41-60 years (47.3%). The hospital stay length ranged from 2 to 5 days with an average of 3.25±0.9 days. Success was considered as a decrease in PTH and calcium levels during the first 24 h after the intervention, and success rates of 100, 98.2, and 69.1%, respectively, were evaluated for a reduction of at least 50% in PTH levels and less than 40 ng/ml of PTH levels. No major complications were reported in the studied patients. Wilcoxon test revealed significant decreases in patients' postoperative serum calcium and PTH levels (P=0.000). Mini-incision Parathyroidectomy with limited incision was associated with significant reductions in serum calcium and PTD without complications.
Recombinant Production and Purification of Inosine 5-Mono Phosphate Dehydrogenase 1 Retinal Isoforms for Functional Studies
Authors: Andashti Behnaz , Yazdanparast Razieh , Galehdari Hamid
Published: February 2023

Inosine 5-monophosphate dehydrogenase 1 (IMPDH1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis. IMPDH1 catalyzes IMP-oxidation to XMP, which in continue is converted to guanine nucleotides. Like mammals, the mouse IMPDH1 (mH1) has retinal-specific isoforms named H1 (546) and H1 (603). Mutations in the IMPDH1 gene are believed to cause retinal degenerative disease, retinitis pigmentosa, mediated by retinal-specific gene variants. After RNA extraction from the mouse retina, RT-PCR was done using NdeI and XhoI harboring primers. Tree mH1 isoform genes were amplified and cloned into a pET26b+ vector separately. The recombinant expression vectors were then transformed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain, expressed under IPTG-induced conditions and purified with Ni-NTA agarose resin. Activity assay of recombinant proteins was done by using spectrophotometric methods. Here, we cloned and optimized the expression and the purification of recombinant mH1 canonical and retinal isoforms in E. coli to gain soluble and highly active protein for further functional assays. Recombinant protein production in prokaryotic hosts, especially E. coli, is the most common method in large-scale of protein production for functional and structural studies. However, maximal yield and activity of recombinant proteins require optimal conditions for expression and purification, which is what we showed in the present study for the mouse IMPDH1 recombinant isoforms.

Malignant skin ulcerations may mimic diabetic foot ulcers leading to misdiagnosis. In this case report, we discuss an uncommon but severe problem of malignant tumors initially misdiagnosed as diabetic foot ulcers, underlying the need to improve medical awareness, diagnostics, and approaches for therapy once the correct diagnosis is made. We describe the case of an 82-year-old male with diabetes mellitus and melanoma metastases initially misdiagnosed as diabetic foot ulcers. In diabetic patients, several skin disorders may coexist on the same foot, including actual diabetic foot ulcers and skin cancers. Among multiple skin disorders that coexist on the foot of a diabetic patient, the skin metastases may be misdiagnosed as diabetic foot ulcers. Significant efforts should be made to create new non-invasive, rapid diagnostic techniques to eliminate misdiagnoses of skin disorders in diabetic patients.

Psychotherapy in Ancient Iran and Mesopotamia (Based on Ancient Iranian Texts and Mesopotamian Tablets)
Authors: Fekripour Katayoun , Heidarpour Azadeh
Published: February 2023

Stress and psychological problems arose with the advent of urbanization. Ancestors generally knew disease as the result of interaction with external factors, including gods, demons, and spirits. The Iranians considered the disease created by the devil and the Mesopotamians considered the disease as a result of wrath of the gods on the sick person for various reasons. This study tries to show the knowledge of Iranians and Mesopotamians about mental illnesses and tries to answer these questions: What information about the treatment of mental illnesses has reached us through the ancient texts of the ancient Iranians and the tablets of the Mesopotamians? And was there also a difference between a physician and a psychiatrist? What similarities and differences can be seen in ancient Iranian texts and Mesopotamian tablets about these contents? In Iranian texts, we are a little familiar with the topic of psychiatry, but the Mesopotamian tablets, which are older, provide us with more details about mental illness. What is certain is that they did not know enough about mental illnesses because they were unfamiliar with brain function; As a result, they resorted to magic and sorcery to cure it. Psychotherapists had a high position in the Iranian and Mesopotamian society and were considered a clergyman. They worked with the physician to treat many ailments. This is a historical- descriptive research, and the subject matter has been gathered in a library way.

Published: February 2023

Jundishapur has been one of the oldest scientific and educational centers in Iran. A civil and intellectual field that emerged from the time of Sassanid Shapur (I), and gradually a scientific center emerged, especially in the medicine field. The splendor of the scientific center and the city of Jundishapur has been deeply correlated with the phenomenon of migration of Roman (Syriac-Nestorian) elites. Therefore, the causation and explanation of these migrations on the formation, life, and continuity of scientific center are significant to study. The present article attempted to investigate the dimensions of this issue from the perspective of historical sociology, relying on the theory of attraction and repulsion of Everett Lee. Thus, the present study tries to analyze three periods of elite migration from Rome to Jundishapur by using a descriptive-analytical method and relying on library resources and answer question of whether these migrations can be explained using the theory of attraction and repulsion? Findings indicate that in all three periods of the main migration of Roman elites to Jundishapur, Roman repulsions against Sassanid attractions have been very effective in the issue of residence and migration of elites. Religion has also been a crucial factor in the convergence and divergence of elites to migrate from Rome to Iran. The city of Jundishapur developed certain Syrian-Christian scientific and cultural features since its establishment. According to Everett Lee's migration theory, these characteristics had eliminated or downplayed the negative interventionist barriers and distance dilemma of elite migration from Rome to Jundishapur. Furthermore, the migration of elites from Rome to Jundishapur has been very effective in the survival of the city and the scientific center of Jundishapur.

Authors: Asghari Parvin , Ghaffari Mehdi
Published: February 2023

Historical reports indicate that concepts such as health, well-being, personal and social development are closely related to physical activity, and the civilized nations of the world have always considered the importance of physical activity in the field of health and wellness. Among the ancient nations, the Greeks were most interested in exercise and physical activity, as it was an important part of ancient Greek medicine, and ancient Greek physicians, especially Hippocrates and Galen, focused on physical activity and proper diet as important components of a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, much of the basic information about the relationship between exercise and health was presented in the findings and medical texts of ancient Greece, which was comprehensively and practically proposed by Galen in the form of the theory of nature and the unnatural. The present study uses a descriptive-analytical method based on library information to answer the question of when humans with scientific and principled method found that exercise and physical activity have played a role in body health and the result of ancient Greek medicine, especially theory. Galen on the relationship between exercise and health in the form of abnormalities in ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, then the Renaissance to the present day, can play an important and effective role of exercise and physical activity in maintaining body health and disease prevention in different eras of human life.

Published: February 2023

Health care providers need moral sensitivity to provide effective ethical care Since spirituality is an integral part of morality, and spiritual intelligence is the basis of an individual's beliefs that affect his performance, this study was conducted to determine the role of spiritual intelligence in moral sensitivity of nursing students. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted in 2021. The target population was nursing students studying in the first semester of 2021-2022 in Yazd, of which 153 people were selected by simple random sampling. In order to data gathering, questionnaire of King's spiritual intelligence and Lutzen's moral sensitivity was used. The validity and reliability of the instruments have been determined in previous research. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation, frequency distribution) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation test and T test) by SPSS software version 16. Results indicated the mean of moral sensitivity (64.24 ±10.46) and the mean of spiritual intelligence of nursing students (53.90 ±34.13) were moderate. There was no statistically significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and moral sensitivity (P=0.245). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct studies to investigate the mediating factors that may affect these variables for a better and deeper understanding.

Compassionate care is considered one of the important elements of patient-centered and oriented care that gives health to the patient. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of designing and explaining the model of compassionate care of nurses based on moral identity and compassion for the lives of others. The present research method was done according to path analysis. The statistical sample included 250 patients with covid-19 and 250 nurses working in the corona department of hospitals in West Azerbaijan province in 2021, which were selected by available sampling method. Rodriguez's compassionate care questionnaire, Black and Reynolds' moral identity questionnaire, and Chang's scale of compassion for others' lives were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using Pearson, Bootstrap and Sobel tests and also through SPSS and Amos software program, version 24. The results showed that the variable of moral identify in interaction with the mediating role of compassion for the lives of others in explaining the compassionate care of nurses. A total of 0. 41 of the variance of compassionate care was explained through model variables. The direct effect of moral identity (0. 47), compassion for the lives of others (0. 36) was observed and it was significant in explaining the compassionate care model. Also, the result showed that the indirect effect of moral identity was found to be significant through the mediation of compassion and also towards the lives of others (2. 96). Considering the variable mediating effect of compassion towards the lives of others in the relationship between moral identity and compassionate care of nurses, it seems that the growth or strengthening of compassion towards the lives of others and moral identity can promote the compassionate care of nurses.

Environment design has profound effects on mental, physical health, and behavior patterns. One of the architectural environments is medical centers that have changed in recent decades in developed countries. As purely physical and indoor environments have been replaced by indoor and outdoor environments. Outdoor gardens include healing gardens. Studies on traditional Iranian gardens show that these gardens are healing gardens. Outdoor gardens include healing gardens. Studies on traditional Iranian gardens show that these gardens are also healing gardens, so this study tried to investigate the healing criteria of therapeutic gardens in Iranian gardens from the perspective of traditional medicine to incorporate the attitudes of designing therapeutic environments in Iran towards the teachings of traditional medicine. In this comparative study, the method of data collection is documentary so that first, the impact of nature on man from the perspective of traditional medicine has been studied and then the criteria of healing landscapes in the Iranian garden have been studied from the perspective of Iranian traditional medicine using the sources of medical history and related articles. It seems that the general criteria for healing gardens in Iranian gardens are per the principles of traditional medicine and using the medical advice to patients can be more precisely designed for therapeutic gardens and used the Iranian garden model for design medical centers Because the criteria for the therapeutic gardens are general But according to the advice of traditional medicine practitioners can be more precise design according to the patients' temperament differences.

Published: February 2023

”Koran” had affirmed “Human Dignity” but in other verse, it had mentioned “Caliphate/Substitution” and “Deposit” about human in comparison with other creatures that they had difficult and covered interpretations. “The choice of good and evil” as Human Dignity criterion, makes it easy and transparent.
“Deposit” verse says Human accepts Deposit and others refuse it because of 2 adjectives: “Zaloom” and “Jahool” from roots of oppression and ignorance. Interpretations are different in meaning this adjective and their relation to deposit. If deposit is choosing, it can make oppression and justice and knowledge and ignorance. Then “FAOOL” structure in Arabic can show potency of action/adjective. Thus, they mean potent for oppression and ignorance like justice and knowledge. It means choosing potency, not actual ugliness.
In “Caliphate” verse, angels say to God that Human creation tend to corruption and killing. God hadn’t refused it but had referred to an upper knowledge. If Caliphate is good choosing too along justice and knowledge, angels had seen properly contemporaneous ignorance and oppression and corruption and killing but they couldn’t recognize the difference between good free discretion and their algebraic goodness that is caliphate and moral similarity and free worship of God with Lordship essence.
Medical Astrology in Hippocrates and Galen's Medical Works
Authors: Moghaddam Heidari Gholamhossein
Published: February 2023

In the pre-modern period, astrology has been the practice of relating celestial bodies to lives and events on earth and the resulting tradition. One aspect of astrology was based on the knowledge of astronomy and mathematical calculations, and the other aspect dealt with soothsaying. We can talk about two types of astrology: natural astrology and judicial astrology. Natural astrology has admitted the idea of celestial influences of a general nature, such as would affect the weather or the environment of a patient, and thus his chances of healing. Judicial astrology aims to determine the particular effects of the stellar influences on a specific person, with a view toward forecasting the future.
But it is noteworthy that many sciences in the pre-modern period used astronomical results. Thus, understanding the knowledge related to climate, agriculture and medicine in the pre-modern era is not complete without understanding astrology. In this article, in the first part, we try to briefly describe astrology and its types and enumerate some features of medical astrology as part of natural astrology. In the second part, we will examine how astrology influenced the medical theories of Hippocrates and Galen in ancient Greece. And we show that medical astrology for them has been part of the natural process of explaining diseases and methods of prognosis and treatment and prevention.
Our method in this article is the hermeneutic-based author understanding method. In other words, in this article, we do not use modern ideas about astrology, but try to examine medical astrology based on the natural and judicial astrology, which were expressed in the same pre-modern era. Thus, we show that astrology was not only an important science in its time, but was also related to the various sciences of its time, so that the understanding of knowledge related to medicine in the pre-modern would be incomplete without understanding astronomy.

Published: February 2023

Background: Androctonus crassicauda is the most medically relevant scorpion and understanding its genetic forms is essential for improvement of anti-venom sera, and risk management of scorpionism. Present study was designed to identify the variations of mitochondrial genes in different populations of A. crassicauda.
Methods: Adults of A. crassicauda were collected from Zanjan Province during 2016–2017. Genomic DNA of samples was extracted and fragments of mitochondrial 16S, COI and ND1 genes were amplified and some of the amplicons were sequenced. Haplotype of samples were identified by multiple alignment of sequences, then phylogenetic trees of haplo­types were constructed.
Results: Fragments of 352bp, 618bp and 680bp were amplified from 16S, COI and ND1 genes respectively. Nucleotide sequence in COI fragments was conserved, however, five haplotypes with some specific polymorphic sites were detect­ed in 16S and ND1 fragments. Haplotype I was dominant and found in all areas. Other haplotypes were rare and limited to specific regions. Analysis of the phylogenetic trees inferred from 16S and COI genes, confirmed a strong positive correlation between geographic and genetic distance.
Conclusion: Mitochondrial COI, 16S and ND1 genes were detected suitable for identifying the population structure. Five genotypes were found using 16S and ND1 genes. To prepare and improve the anti-venoms quality, additional stud­ies are necessary to identify the toxin electrophoretic profile and geographical/ecological niche models of these geno­types in future.

Background: Ticks are vectors of many pathogens that involve various important diseases in humans and animals, they have several diverse hosts consequently can retain a diverse group of indigenous microbes, from bacteria to fungi. Little is known about the prevalence and diversity of tick microflora colonizing the midgut and their effects on ticks and their interaction. This information is important for development of vector control strategies.
Methods: This study was carried out in northern Iran during autumn 2019. Ticks, Ixodes ricinus caught alive on the bodies of domestic animals in the fall. The tick homogenate was prepared. The identification of fungal isolates was car­ried out according to a combination of macro and microscopic morphology and molecular sequencing. Pathogenic bac­teria of the family Borreliaceae, Francisella tularensis, Borrelia burgdorferi and Coxiella burnetii were tested by real-time PCR.
Results: A total of 133 mature I. ricinus ticks were collected from domestic animals, including 71.5% cattle and 28.5% sheep. The tick frequency rates were 87.21% for Mazandaran, 8.28% for Golestan and 4.51% for Gilan Provinces. Total prevalence of fungal tick contamination was 53.4% (75/133) of which Trichoderma harzianum (57%) was the most prevalent species followed by Aspergillus spp. (42%), Mortierella alpine (19%) and Penicillium polonicum (14%). All tick samples were negative for three pathogenic bacteria including Francisella tularensis, Coxiella burnetii, and Borre­lia burgdorferi by real-time PCR analysis.
Conclusion: These results show a first picture of the microbial diversity of ticks and highlight the importance of micro­biota and their role in host-pathogen interaction.

Background: Phlebotomus and Sergentomya are distributed in the old-world regions and transmit leishmaniases through mammalian and reptile hosts. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is one of the most important diseases in Iran. Irani­an sand flies belong to three Oriental, Palearctic, and Afrotropical Regions. Fars Province is located in Palearctic, but southern parts are affected Oriental region situations on phglebotomine population variety. Therefore, a comprehensive study was required on the vectors of the disease in this Province.
Methods: Regarding the approved role of the environmental factors in creating the fauna and distribution of living crea­tures, the “de martonne climate method” was used, and the climate was noticed as an important environmental factor for the determination of vector distribution. Accordingly, 14 sampling sites were selected from 10 foci in different climates of Fars Province. 19648 sand flies were collected from the studied areas in this Province during 2016.
Results: Phlebotomus papatasi and Se. antennata were the most frequent species, which were caught from in/outdoor areas. Phlebotomus sergenti and Ph. alexandri were caught from both Palearctic and Oriental zones but were more prevalent in the cold semi-arid climate of the Palearctic zone. Moreover, they were not caught from the hot desert and summer Mediterranean climates of the Oriental zone.  
Conclusions: It seems that Ph. papatasi as the main vector of CL could be well distributed in different climates in Fars. Moreover, some species like Ph. sergenti preferred especial climates in the Palearctic zone. Therefore, these data could be helpful to control leishmaniases more efficiently.

O distanciamento do ser humano à natureza tem sido referido na literatura pelo termo Extinção de experiência natural, como empecilho à conservação da biodiversidade, diante da crise socioambiental intensificada no último século. A mitigação do distanciamento pode focar em estudos sobre a infância, fase em que o indivíduo desenvolve sensibilidade e relações com o meio, direcionando seu comportamento quando adulto. Dessa forma, este estudo busca analisar como as experiências na infância influenciam o contato direto com a natureza na fase adulta, como o ambiente de vivência afeta tal contato com a natureza e quais fatores se relacionam à sua aproximação e/ou distanciamento. Este estudo descritivo quanti-qualitativo foi realizado através de entrevistas online com 50 estudantes de graduação da Universidade Federal do Piauí. Os resultados mostram que urbanização intensifica a falta de oportunidade do contato direto com a natureza, além da falta de tempo (causada pelo modo de vida das sociedades ocidentais) e distância aos lugares (percepção da natureza isolada do cotidiano e diminuição de espaços na cidade). A pesquisa demonstrou que crianças incentivadas ao contato com a natureza na infância, que visitavam e realizavam atividades no campo, apresentaram maior proximidade à natureza quando adultas. É possível mitigar o distanciamento à natureza na fase adulta, considerando também que direcionar esforços à orientação é mais efetivo que à oportunidade. No entanto, é necessário que tanto se promova mais áreas de interação urbano-natural (oportunidade), quanto medidas de sensibilização através da educação formal e não formal, integradas à mídia, academia e educação ambiental (orientação).

For the last three years, the entire world has faced a colossal phenomenon due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All sectors and areas of life have been affected, which has forced rapid and radical changes towards adaptation in its wake. The unexpected pandemic’s mark and impact on education is more severe and longer lasting than imagined. It has evidently disrupted education provision at an unprecedented scale. This paper is a literature review that focuses on the experience of different countries and education systems during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the analysis of the existing literature and research on this issue, from the perspective of educators and students, including the experience of different countries around the world, the pandemic has had a great impact on higher education. This has resulted to digital transformation, which implies overcoming many challenges. The review uses particular examples of higher education in the era of COVID-19 in Georgia, Ghana, and Pakistan. The measures taken to continue education in spite of the pandemic are also highlighted. Although this phenomenon proved to be challenging, it has initiated enormous opportunities for creativity within progress. This paper further discussed barriers that students and academics faced during online teaching-learning, the pros and cons of online teaching-learning, the quality of teaching-learning, and the state of preparedness for future education.
