Authors: Pourshamsian Monireh , Mafi Maryam , Azh Nezal 
Published: November 2019

Introduction:
Promoting adolescents' healthy behaviors through different strategies is essential to prevent the risks of adulthood chronic problems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of mothers' group counseling on the health-promoting behaviors of high school adolescent girls in Qazvin city, Iran.

Methods:
This single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted in Qazvin, Iran. Participants were 100 guidance school female students and their mothers who were selected through multistage random sampling. The demographic data form and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile were used for data collection before and 2 months after the intervention. The intervention was conducted in four sessions lasting for 90–60 min.

Results:
There was no improvement in the mean score of health-promoting behaviors before the intervention in the control group (27 ± 20.313) and the intervention group (23.54 ± 138.86), but after the intervention in the intervention group, a significant improvement was observed with a mean difference of 12.90 in the intervention group whereas 5.26 in the control group. The highest increase was in stress and nutrition control with a mean difference of 3.06 and 2.74, respectively. The ANCOVA test also confirmed the effectiveness of education (P = 0.03, F = 4.43).

Conclusion:
Mothers' group counseling can improve adolescent health-promoting behaviors. Considering the importance of the role of mothers in protecting and promoting the health of adolescent girls, it is essential that maternal education and counseling are prioritized to increase the healthy behaviors of adolescent girls.

Published: November 2019

Introduction:
The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric characteristics of the Persian version of the Herth Hope Index (HHI-Persian version) within a sample of Iranian patients with heart disease (HD).

Methods:
The present research used a clinical sample of HD patients hospitalized in a medical institution in Qazvin, Iran. A total of 500 patients were selected via convenience sampling method and were divided into two subsamples to test for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) (n = 250) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (n = 250) separately. Construct validity of the HHI-Persian version was evaluated using EFA and CFA. The reliability of the HHI-Persian version was first assessed using internal consistency (i.e., Cronbach's alpha) and construct reliability.

Results:
Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation revealed that the index had a one factor consisting of 11 items (eigenvalue = 4.784) which explained 38.309% of the total variance. The results showed that the single factor consisting of 11 items has a good fit (χ
2 [42, n = 250] = 107.242,P < 0.001; χ
2/df = 2.553, adjusted goodness-of-fit index [GFI] = 0.889, GFI = 0.929, comparative fit index = 0.938, normed fit index = 0.903, Tucker–Lewis Index = 0.918, incremental fit index = 0.918, and root mean square error of approximation = 0.079 [90% confidence interval = 0.079 (0.061–0.098)]). Cronbach's alpha and construct reliability were 0.856 and 0.878, respectively, which indicates the good reliability of the HHI.

Conclusion:
The findings demonstrated that the HHI-Persian version is a valid and reliable instrument that has potential utility in future research.

Authors: Zamir Mohsen , Javani Marzieh , Soleimannejad Maryam 
Published: November 2019

Introduction:
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a disabling psychiatric disorder with frequent recurrences. Less than half of the patients with BD show good long-term response to treatment. Apart from pharmacotherapy, psychoeducation may be effective in reducing the symptoms and recurrence of BD, leading to improvements in patients' quality of life. In this study, we examined the effect of family psychoeducation on relapse rate and length of hospital stay in patients with BDs.

Methods:
This randomized controlled clinical trial (ethical committee number; IR.QUMS.REC.1394.136) was performed on 64 patients with BD at 22 Bahman Hospital of Qazvin, Iran. The patients were allocated into the following two groups: intervention and control groups. The patients in the control group received standard medical treatment, whereas those in the intervention group received 4 weekly sessions of family group psychoeducation, in addition to medical treatment. The patients were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory Rating Scale and the Young Mania Rating Scale. The recurrence rate, disease severity, and quality of life in both groups were evaluated. The intervention and control groups were followed up for 9 months regarding recurrence and hospitalization, and the results were compared between the groups.

Results:
Data analysis showed a reduction in the frequency and duration of hospitalization in the group receiving family psychoeducation and was dependent on the patient's level of education, place of residence (town/village), duration of illness, and frequency of hospitalization before the intervention.

Conclusion:
In addition to pharmacotherapy, family psychoeducation can have an enormous impact on patients with BDs and limit or decrease the risk of recurrence.

Authors: Damghanian Ali , Sharietpanahi Gazal , Khieltash Azita , Barahimi Hamid 
Published: November 2019

Introduction:
Due to the high prevalence of sedentary lifestyle and inappropriate nutrition among adolescents, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of peer-based education on physical activity and nutrition among adolescents.

Methods:
In a randomized field trial with control group, a total of 223 students with a mean age of 16.52 (0.9) years participated in the study. Students were randomly selected from four high schools of Tehran's 17th district, Iran, using the multistage clustered sampling method. Two females and two males high schools were randomly assigned as an intervention or a control group. After selecting peer educators, they were educated about nutrition and physical activity at two 90-min sessions. Then, peer educators were asked to educate their classmates. Data were collected using demographic, nutrition, and physical activity subscales of Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II before and 3 months after the intervention. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance in SPSS version 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York). Results: Peer-based education improved girl's physical activity mean scores (16.19 ± 4.07–19.74 ± 4.25, P > 0.001), but no statistically significant effect on their nutrition. No statistically significant effect was observed after intervention on the nutritional status and physical activity of the male students.

Conclusion:
Peer education seemed to be a good method to improve physical activity among female students, but not their nutrition. In addition, physical activity and nutrition of male students were not improved by the peer education. Therefore, the future research using multidisciplinary approach which targets family involvement, and changes in physical activity and school nutrition policies are needed.

Published: November 2019

Introduction:
Adherence to drug regimen is an important factor in the treatment of patients with mental disorders. In some studies, religious beliefs have been shown to be effective for treatment adherence. This study aimed to investigate the association between religious beliefs and adherence to the medication regimen mediated by religious coping in patients with mental disorders.

Methods:
In this cross-sectional study, 164 patients with mental disorders were selected through convenient sampling from educational centers in Qazvin city. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, March Drug Adherence Questionnaire, Santaklara's Religious Faithfulness questionnaire, and Pargament Religious Coping questionnaire. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results:
The mean age of the patients was 38.87 ± 14.42 years. The mean duration of the disease was 5.71 ± 5.78 years. The mean of the religious belief score was 30.90 ± 5.96, the mean of the negative religious coping score was 2.17 ± 2.94, and the mean of positive religious coping score was 6.83 ± 4.69. There was a significant positive correlation between religious beliefs, adherence to medication regimen, and positive religious coping. There was a significant negative correlation between religious beliefs, adherence to medication regimen, and negative religious coping.

Conclusion:
There was a significant positive correlation between religious beliefs and adherence to medication regimen in patients with mental disorders. Religious beliefs were directly associated with positive religious coping, and adherence to medication regimen was indirectly associated with negative religious confrontation.
A AVALIAÇÃO DA GERAÇÃO DE SEDIMENTOS AO LONGO DA BACIA HIDROGRÁFICA DO RIBEIRÃO DO CARMO. POTENCIAL NATURAL DE EROSÃO, FEIÇÕES MORFOLÓGICAS E CICATRIZES DE MOVIMENTOS DE MASSA.

Published: November 2019

A dinâmica da geração e transporte de sedimentos superficiais em uma área urbanizada difere significativamente da mesma dinâmica para áreas rurais, o que torna a sua análise uma tarefa complexa por envolver necessariamente inúmeros fatores de ordem física, meteorológica e antrópica. A Bacia Hidrográfica do Ribeirão do Carmo (BHRC) está localizada nos municípios de Ouro Preto e Mariana, tendo uma área é de 351,60 km2 e um perímetro de 139,22 km. A abordagem realizada teve como pressuposto a elaboração da carta de suscetibilidade a erosão natural, a partir da aplicação da Equação Universal de Perda do Solo (EUPS), para a predição da média anual de perda de solo causada pela erosão laminar, somado à identificação do maior número possível de fontes geradoras de sedimentos (feições morfológicas e cicatrizes de movimentos de massa) ao longo de toda a bacia. Os estudos
relacionados ao entendimento da transformação do meio físico ganham importância à medida que podem auxiliar em uma gestão
ambiental sustentável, sendo para tal necessário correlacionar o diagnóstico do meio físico, com o modelo de desenvolvimento
vigente, apontando tanto os aspectos falhos no planejamento e gestão dos recursos, quanto diretrizes para uma adequada ocupação do solo urbano e rural.

The Attentive Ear
Authors: Østergaard Edvin 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIn the article, I argue that teachers can promote their students’ audial attention, in general education as well as in science education, by drawing on musicians’ and composers’ refined listening skills. I investigate the act of listening phenomenologically by exploring listening in its multiple forms. With reference to Heidegger’s philosophy of existence, I further explore how listening constitutes our Being-in-the-world. The question whether listening to music might increase a more general readiness to audial attention is of educational interest: how can the ability of audial attention be taught and reinforced and which role does careful listening play in learning? I discuss whether teaching about sound in science class promotes students’ skills of audial experience and whether attentive listening trained in music education is applicable in general education or in science education. Promoting listening skills in science education is discussed in four themes: learning from listening to sound phenomena, listening possibilities in science curriculum, cooperation between science education and music education, and teaching listening for openness. I conclude that there are no direct connections between training attentive listening skills in music education and employing them in science learning. However, fruitful conjunctions might be found when listening is regarded in a broader sense, as tuning in to each other and as awareness of the world’s own musicality. I suggest that a variety of modes of listening should form the foundation for promoting audial attentiveness in learning. Further, to include openness in science education, we need to liberate the training of listening abilities from a mere utilitarian approach.
Reluctant Heroes and Itchy Capes: The Ineluctable Desire to Be the Savior
Authors: D’Olimpio Laura , Levine Michael P. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
We live in an age of heroes. What is a hero? Why is our need for heroes and our desire to be heroic as insatiable as they are pervasive? Kierkegaard’s “Knight of Faith” and Nietzsche’s “Superman” both depict the heroic as involving a commitment to inner knowing along with a faith in one’s own abilities, despite being unable to communicate these reasons to anyone else. Kierkegaard and Nietzsche use the notion of “hero” to make a moral claim with respect to how we should lead our lives and endure—even love—the lived human experience. There is no diminishing of the modern appetite to consume and act out “reassuring” narratives about how we are all the hero of our own personal journey. Psychoanalysis gives an account as to why the appeal of the hero is inextricably tied to the human psyche. Jung explains the appeal of heroes in terms of archetypes, and Freud speaks of our orectic natures—nature driven by desire, appetite, and wish-fulfillment. Times of crisis and insecurity will always be coincident with an age of heroes, and the proliferation of heroes in film and television, as well as imaged heroes in real life, suggest these times are troubling if not dire. This paper explores why it is that heroes are always there, indeed must be there, when we need them most and considers the educative potential of such narratives.
The Normative Framework of Labour Law

The Normative Framework of Labour Law
This article looks at how normative questions, i.e. ‘what should the law be?‘, are approached in modern labour law scholarship. A distinction is made between internal and external normative frameworks for analysis, whereby internal frameworks are made up of principles, values or standards that are part of the law and the external frameworks are made up of theories outside of law. As a functional legal field, labour law can also benefit to a great deal from empirical research. However, the article argues that empirical facts by themselves have a limited normative value and that we need a normative framework in order to answer normative and evaluative questions. Therefore, the aim of the article is to review, clarify and evaluate the internal normative framework of labour law.
A CONSTRUÇÃO DO SISTEMA DOS NÚMEROS REAIS POR WEIERSTRASS
Authors: Martins Ana Patrícia 
Published: November 2019

Apesar de já na Antiguidade Clássica se ter reconhecido a existência de grandezas incomen-suráveis, não seria antes do século XIX que se estabeleceriam definições rigorosas do conceito de número irracional, sem recurso a intuições geométricas. O conceito mais geral de número real era apenas percebido intuitivamente e a sua existência apenas assegurada por considerações de natureza geométrica e algébrica. A partir do início do século XIX surgiu uma preocupação crescente em colocar a Análise sobre bases aritméticas sólidas; reconhecia-se que a falta duma teoria dos números reais tornava incorretas (ou, pelo menos, incompletas) as demonstrações de certos resultados. Desta forma, uma etapa importante do processo de aritmetização da Análise seria a elaboração duma teoria da reta real sobre fundações puramente aritméticas. Dos três nomes que devem referenciar-se neste contexto – Charles Méray, Karl Weierstrass e Richard Dedekind – destacaremos o de Weierstrass que, contrariamente aos outros dois, não se limitou a construir os reais a partir duma pressuposta construção dos racionais. Weierstrass parte da noção mais geral de número e das operações fundamentais da Aritmética; introduz inicialmente o con-ceito de número natural e, de seguida, o de número racional positivo; considerando “agregados” destes números obtém então grandezas para além das racionais. Por esta razão, na teoria dos números reais de Weierstrass, não se podem dissociar as naturezas dos números naturais, racionais e reais. Weierstrass constrói a sua teoria de modo inteiramente analítico, dotando-a dum rigor muito característico de toda a sua obra matemática e elaborando a teoria dos números reais mais completa do século XIX.

EXPERIMENTOS GRÁFICO-VISUAIS POR MEIO DE FUNÇÕES E QR CODES: Uma interaçao entre alunos de um curso de administração
Authors: Pinto Fernando Rocha 
Published: November 2019

Este artigo descreve um trabalho que advém de uma experiência de caráter interdisciplinar desenvolvida em um ambiente informatizado, com a participação de alunos iniciantes (1º período) e do ciclo profissional (7º período) do curso superior de Administração da Faculdade SENAC Minas. O objetivo central foi discutir sob uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, o conceito matemático de Função e sua utilização na criação de desenhos digitais, bem como a codificação dos trabalhos por meio dos conhecidos QR Codes (Quick Response Codes, ou ainda, Códigos de Resposta Rápida). Esses códigos são amplamente utilizados nas empresas e já se fazem bastante presentes no Gerenciamento da Cadeia de Suprimentos, na área da Produção. A metodologia utilizada, que se baseou no Construcionismo de Pappert, previa cinco etapas: 1ª) três aulas no Laboratório de Informática, sendo uma aula para cada turma de alunos e uma aula com a participação de ambas as turmas de alunos, em sentido colaborativo; 2ª) criação de desenhos digitais a partir de funções matemáticas usando o software Graphmatica; 3ª) hospedagem dos desenhos no site https://photos.google.com; 4ª) criação de QR Codes por meio dos links dos desenhos no site https://br.qr-code-generator.com e; 5ª) exposição dos QR Codes no ambiente da faculdade. No momento da aula em conjunto, ocorreu uma troca de informações bastante proveitosa entre as duas turmas, o que fez com que os alunos do ciclo profissional se tornassem instrutores dos alunos iniciantes, informando sobre a utilização dos QR Codes na área de Produção em uma empresa. Assim, a partir de um aplicativo disponível para celulares, capaz de ler as imagens quadradas dos QR Codes, cada aluno pôde visitar os endereços eletrônicos que hospedavam os desenhos digitais de todos os participantes desse experimento. Todos os códigos foram impressos em papel fotográfico e expostos nos corredores da faculdade, ficando disponíveis para visitação por parte da comunidade acadêmica, o que gerou muita curiosidade das pessoas sobre os significados daqueles desenhos. Dessa maneira, as interseções entre a Matemática, a Arte e a área da Administração foram discutidas e analisadas pelos discentes, e isso lhes auxiliou no entendimento de que uma empresa pode ser analisada por meio de uma construção matemática de significados de conteúdos que estão presentes em disciplinas do curso superior de Administração, sob um ponto de vista interdisciplinar.Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática.

Gothic Infections
Authors: Mikalsen Paula Ryggvik 
Published: November 2019

This article proposes, a reading of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey (1818) as a case study for discussing infectious literature, storytelling as therapy and the interconnectedness of Gothic methodologies and medical humanities. Northanger Abbey was written in a period when women’s reading habits was a contested topic, so I will provide a quick historical overview of the period and the problematic Gothic novel, which Northanger Abbey satirizes. Where previous research has focused on Catherine Morland, the protagonist and ‘misreader’ in this Gothic satire, this article will focus on Austen’s feminized hero, Henry Tilney, and read him in the role of a mesmeric healer. His goal is to cure Catherine of her obsession with Gothic novels, in order for her to fulfil the feminine ideal of the time. The mesmeric method is to produce a crisis in the patient, however, I will show how Henry’s plan fails and he inadvertently produces a crisis in himself, and forces him to realize the extent of his own ‘reading illness’. He is ‘infected’ by the masculine literary canon, which in his mind entails literary superiority over Catherine and his sister Eleanor.
Storytelling as therapy is a term that connects literature and trauma into a method of organizing experience. My analysis will focus on a selection of dialogue between the main characters and Henry’s monologues, to highlight where Austen’s hero is compelled to take narrative control as a way to control his own trauma; his troubled relationship with his father and the death of his mother.
The patient as reader
Authors: Bernhardsson Katarina 
Published: November 2019

Illness narratives can be said to reclaim the voice of the patient, and while they draw much of their strength from a position of experience and loss, they are also highly mediated and constructed narratives. This article studies, how these textual self-representations are formed in relation to intertexts, and how the authors explicitly use other literary texts and enter into a dialogue with them.
Two pathographies are studied, Anders Paulrud’s Fjärilen i min hjärna (“The Butterfly in my Brain”, 2008) and Agneta Klingspor’s Stängt pga hälsosjäl (“Closed due to health reasons”, 2010, and their specific strategies in incorporating other literary texts: Paulrud through assemblage and community, and Klingspor through resistance and critique, especially of narratives the author feels she is supposed to appreciate. In the end, both authors seem to share a view about literature as potentially helpful and meaningful in conveying experiences and even point to a healing potential in narratives and literature.

Abstract
The translational flow in the low-frequency regime of electroconvection in parallelepiped sandwich cell of planar nematic liquid crystal has been observed. The dark and bright stripe pattern was observed to be shifting toward the center of the parallelepiped sandwich cell from both sides because of the horizontal component of the electric fields,

linearly decreased as the flow reached the center of the cell. In addition, several control parameters were used to determine their relation with this flow. Increasing applied voltage and frequency monotonically decreased translational flow velocity. Whereas, increasing the temperature of the system caused an increase in flow velocity.
