Explaining the Role of Changing Components of the Problem on Increasing Creativity in the Field of Architectural Design Competitiveness

Knowledge has long been in the field of human knowledge. In the evolutionary history of science, many theories and hypotheses have been proposed and proven. This category reflects the fundamental changes in the way of thinking in human knowledge. In the contemporary era, knowledge faces more complex issues. Therefore, achieving growth and production in any field using new methods based on future vision is one of the pillars of human knowledge. In the field of studies, the process of architectural design, the growth and development of creativity, that is, how the idea arises and develops in the mind. Creative results in the field of architecture can be the result of changing components of the problem according to recognizing the existing contradictions in the field of architectural design process. Since design process involves the emergence, evolution, metamorphosis of ideas, and formation of concepts, one of the topics in the design process is conceptual tradition. Conceptual tradition by changing the way of thinking, offers creative solutions to enhance the way of knowing and solving the optimal problem. The role of conceptual tradition in the development of the architectural design process is by changing the components of the design problem. On the other hand, competitiveness is the basis for the growth and enhancement of architectural design field. Therefore, achieving meaningful relationship between changing the components of the problem and competitiveness in architectural design, to increase creativity in the field of architectural design is a necessity of research. The research method has been “deductive reasoning” and using “analytic-descriptive” measures, with quantitative and qualitative approach. Questionnaire is used for field survey. To validate the data, standard evaluation tools and theories of Delphi expert community have been cited. Preliminary data extracted from the first stage in eight architectural projects eligible for research were evaluated through Delphi and related factors were extracted. Finally, using pls software and regression test based on the extracted data, the research hypotheses were proved

Mapping 123 million neonatal, infant and child deaths between 2000 and 2017

Since 2000, many countries have achieved considerable success in improving child survival, but localized progress remains unclear. To inform efforts towards United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3.2—to end preventable child deaths by 2030—we need consistently estimated data at the subnational level regarding child mortality rates and trends. Here we quantified, for the period 2000–2017, the subnational variation in mortality rates and number of deaths of neonates, infants and children under 5 years of age within 99 low- and middle-income countries using a geostatistical survival model. We estimated that 32% of children under 5 in these countries lived in districts that had attained rates of 25 or fewer child deaths per 1,000 live births by 2017, and that 58% of child deaths between 2000 and 2017 in these countries could have been averted in the absence of geographical inequality. This study enables the identification of high-mortality clusters, patterns of progress and geographical inequalities to inform appropriate investments and implementations that will help to improve the health of all populations

Structural model of the role of personality traits on emotion regulation with the mediation of life expectancy and cognitive actions

Background and purpose: Stressful experiences during life can cause physical problems at different ages. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of personality traits on emotion regulation through the mediation of life expectancy and cognitive actions in women. Methods: The current research is of descriptive-correlation type and was done by structural equation modeling method. The statistical population included all women who referred to the neighborhood centers in Tehran between the months of May and June of 1400. The research sample consisted of 384 women referring to neighborhood centers in Tehran, who were selected by voluntary sampling method. The data were collected using Neo's five-factor personality traits questionnaire (McCree and Costa, 1980), life-saving cognitive abilities questionnaire (2013), life expectancy questionnaire (Hazarusi, 2006) and emotion regulation questionnaire (Garnefski et al., 2001). Obtained. Data were analyzed using correlation coefficient, Pearson correlation matrix, multiple regression and structural equation modeling. Also, all statistical calculations were done using Lisrel 8.80 and SPSS.22 software. Results: The findings showed that the standard and non-standard coefficients of the direct path of the hypothetical model from personality traits to cognitive actions (β=0.48; P<0.01), personality traits to life expectancy (β=0.58; P<0.01), personality traits to emotion regulation (β = 0.46; P<0.01), cognitive actions to emotion regulation (β= 0.47; P< 0.01), life expectancy It has become significant to emotion regulation (β=0.26; P<0.01). Examining the fit indices of the model indicates that the desired model has a good fit with the data. That life expectancy and cognitive actions had an indirect effect on emotion regulation, so the existence of an indirect relationship between research variables is confirmed with 95% confidence (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the model of personality traits on emotion regulation with the mediation of life expectancy and cognitive actions is suitable in women

Investigating the Relationship between Parents\' Job Satisfaction with Mental Health of Male Children in the 6th Grade of the Elementary School in Taft

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parents' job satisfaction and mental health of male children in the sixth grade of the elementary school in Taft. Methods: The study is a descriptive type of correlation. As a sample of 100 male students at the sixth grade of elementary school were selected by a multistage cluster random sampling method. The parents of the sample completed the job satisfaction questionnaire and their children completed the mental health questionnaire. Then, the job satisfaction scores of parents (father or mother) with mental health scores of their children were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient using SPSS software 20. Results: Data analysis showed that there is a correlation between the parents' job satisfaction and the mental health of their children. Better mental health scores are expected for children whose parents had higher job satisfaction. Conclusion: According to the results based on the relationship between parents' job satisfaction and mental health of male children, the planners and managers of the industry, services and agriculture sectors can be recommended to learn efficient management methods and styles based on improving human relationships in organizations in order to be more responsible and committed to their employees' job satisfaction since it is directly related to the mental healt

Acute Rheumatic Fever in the North East of Iran: A Study of 80 Cases

Background: To evaluate the frequency, clinical presentation and cardiac involvement of children with RF in the North-East of Iran. Methods: A case series analysis was conducted on 80 patients with acute rheumatic fever (ARF), who were hospitalized at Ghaem hospital in Mashad between 1994 and 2000, were studied. Laboratory tests and results from echocardiographic examinations, and clinical findings were analyzed. All patients received standard care for children with ARF. The X2 test was used for comparison of binary data. Results: When compared to similar studies from developed countries, our study demonstrates a decreased frequency of RF in North-East Iran over the past few years. However, it is still a major health problem and the most common cause of acquired heart disease in childhood. The distribution of the major modified Jones criteria in our study is slightly different from that described in the literature, with a higher incidence of carditis. Conclusion: It appears that carditis is endemic in this region. Considering the high morbidity and complications involved in this disease, there is an immediate need for effective preventive programs for the initiating cause streptococcal infections, especially since it is treatable

The pathogenic microorganisms in papanicolaou vaginal smears and correlation with inflammation.

Objective: Non-specific cervicitis or inflammatory changes in a smear report are common which are usually unclear for clinical approaches. To investigate the frequency of inflammation and pathogenic vaginal microorganisms in cervical smears among an Iranian population sample. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on Pap smear samples of women referred to gynecological clinic of Taleghani Hospital in Tehran, Iran, between October 2008 and March 2009. This study was conducted on 528 conventional Papanicolaou cervical smears. The frequency and severity of inflammation and prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (BV), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and vaginal candidiasis (VC) was determined in the samples. Also co-infection of the microorganisms in Pap samples was evaluated. percentage, mean±standard deviation of the outcome parameters were calculated. The comparison between data was performed with the Pearson's chi square or Fisher's exact test. Results: The prevalence of BV, VC, and TV in Pap samples was 17%, 11%, and 0.4% respectively. Overall, the prevalence of these microorganisms in women of reproductive age was higher than menopausal women. There was a significant association between VC and the presence of inflammation in our samples. Conclusion: Based on our results, inflammation in the Pap smears can suggest an infection of VC and the patients should be considered for proper VC treatment

Comparison of programmed death‐ligand 1 expression in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in paraffin blocks of patients with cervical cancer

Abstract Aims Cervical cancer (CC) is a common malignancy in women, predominantly caused by human papillomavirus. The most subtypes are adenocarcinomas (AC) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), which show various features and treatment responses. Programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) as Immune checkpoint molecules, play a role in immune evasion. We investigated PD‐L1 expression in AC and SCC of the cervix and explored its link to clinical characteristics. Methods and results The present cross‐sectional research was done between 2016 and 2022 on samples in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences‐affiliated hospitals in Iran. Histological tissue samples of CCs (16 AC and 48 SCC) were assessed, and clinical information was obtained by reviewing their medical documents. PD‐L1 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry and we used the combined positive score. SCC cases showed a higher (not significant) PD‐L1 expression. The PD‐L1 expression and clinical characteristics were not significantly correlated in both subgroups. Conclusion Although SCC cases exhibited higher PD‐L1 expression, this difference was non‐significant. More investigations should highlight the role of PD‐L1 in CC and the potential benefits of immunotherapy
