Structural parameters effect on UVR transmission of weft knitted fabrics

Effects of knit structure, knit density, material type and presence of elastic yarn in weft knitted cotton/ polyester and polyester fabrics on UVR transmission have been investigated. According to the Taguchi method used for determining the combination of selected variables and their levels, 16 knitted samples have been produced on a single jersey circular knitting machine. After relaxation, samples have been kept in sunlight simulator and exposed to sun radiation. Finally, the amount of UV transmitted by every sample is measured by spectrophotometer. The results analyzed using Minitab software show that all the controllable variables have a significant effect on UV transmission. Also, according to the signal to noise analysis, the factor 'presence of elastic yarn' shows the strongest effect on UVR transmission. The second effective factor is found 'fabric structure' which is followed by the other two factors, viz. 'material type' and 'knit density' respectively

Lifestyle effects health and many health problems can be solved by forming health-promoting habits in adolescence; therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the health-promoting lifestyle among adolescent girls of Kerman in 2015. Methods: This descriptive analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 476 female high school students in Kerman in 2015. The participants were selected using multistage sampling. Data were collected using the standard Health Promoting Lifestyle II (HPLP-II) questionnaire including 52 items. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and one-way ANOVA via SPSS 20. Results: The average score of health-promoting lifestyle was 3.10±0.56. The participants obtained the highest average score in interpersonal relationships and the lowest score in physical activities. The results showed significant relationships between the average score of health-promoting lifestyle and different education levels (P<0.001), father’s job (P=0.003), father’s education level (P=0.04), and physical activity (P=0.001), but no significant relationship was reported between health-promoting lifestyle and different ages, mother’s education level and job, and fast food consumption. Conclusion: The results showed that the health-promoting lifestyle score of female adolescent students was mediocre but the students did not have good physical activity. Therefore, health-promoting behaviors can be improved through designing and implementing programs to increase physical activity

A Study of the Hidden Curriculum of Doctoral Research Courses: A Phenomenological Study

Background & Objective: Hidden curriculum is a relatively new and very enlightening concept raised by curriculum experts in recent years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the hidden curriculum of the doctoral degree and hidden factors of choosing a supervisor. Methods: This was a qualitative research performed using the phenomenological method. The study data were collected through semi-structured interviews. In this study, all doctoral graduates who had passed the research period (n = 45) were selected using purposive sampling method. For data analysis, the Strauss and Corbin (1997) method was used (open coding and axial coding). Results: In this study, 230 themes were obtained and divided into 5 main categories ( negligence of main tasks, lack of social and economic justice, inequality of universities, lack of communication across borders, and lack of equal facilities) and several subcategories. Conclusion: The results showed that numerous factors can affect the academic process in universities during this period. Therefore, more contemplation is necessary during this period.

Acute transverse myelitis of childhood due to novel coronavirus disease 2019: The first pediatric case report and review of literature

The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic appears to have some streaks of severity in pediatrics. These streaks include variable signs of respiratory distress, a new entity called multisysteminflammatory syndrome, and some evidences of neurological symptoms involving both central and peripheral nervous systems.Here, we described the first pediatric patient with COVID-19 who presented with acute transverse myelitis. An 11-year-old otherwise healthy girl presented to our clinic with acute onset of lower limbs paresis, urinary and fecal retention, alongside epigastric pain, and fever for 3 days. A neurological examination revealed a severe flaccid paraplegia in her lower limbs associated with a sensory level at T5. She was evaluated systematically for all probable causes of her symptoms, and finally, due to having a positive nasopharyngeal PCR test, she was considered to suffer from post-COVID-19 transverse myelitis. She underwent intravenous-immunoglobulin, methylprednisolone pulse, and other supportive cares without obvious results. Therefore, she underwent seven sessions of plasma exchange with little effects on muscle strength. The focal inflammation and injury of the spinal cord, otherwise known as transverse myelitis, have a wide array of potential etiologies. Transverse myelitis has been well documented to be the result of viral and bacterial infections. We believe our patient was not involved in a cytokine storm status due to good CRP, IL-6 and Ferritin levels. Albeit, we cannot certainly consider the patient to have a direct viral impact or involved in a late immunity process. To our knowledge, this is the first report of TM in the field of pediatrics occurred after COVID-19. Thus, this is critical to note that children can present with some severe types of COVID-19

Structure of Resilience in Older Adults with Chronic Conditions

Introduction: Promoting resilience in older adults with chronic conditions is one of the goals of professional nursing. However, few studies have been conducted in world on this issue. In our country, Iran, no study, either qualitative or quantitative, has been done in this area .The aim of this study was to explore the structure of resilience in older adults with chronic conditions. Method: In this study with descriptive phenomenological approach, participants were selected using purposive sampling method. Overall, 24 interview sessions were held with 22 participants. The minimum duration of an interview was 25 and the maximum was 75 minutes. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Colaizzi`s proposed stages. Results: Four themes were emerged that could illustrate the perspective of older adults with chronic conditions from the external structure of resilience in particular socio-cultural context of Iranian society. The themes were supportive resources, welfare status, cut-of benefit, and attitude to the elderly patient. Conclusion: Results of this study revealed important concepts in the structure of resilience in older adult patients with chronic diseases. Our fidings can help health care providers to understand the effective resources on the resilience and comprehensive care planning to grow and increase the resilience among older adults.

Shear Bond Strength of the Repair Composite Resin to Zirconia Ceramic by Different Surface Treatments

Introduction: The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the amount of surface roughness (Ra) of Zirconia Ceramic following different surface treatments as well as the assessment of its shear bond strength to composite resin.Methods: 40 sintered zirconia ceramic block samples were randomly divided in 4 groups of 10 and underwent the following surface treatments:a) Control group without treatmentb) Air abrasion with Al2O3 particles (50um)c) Er:YAG laser  with 2W power for 10sd) Nd:YAG laser with 1.5W power for 2minThen the mean surface roughness (Ra) was evaluated by profilometer. In the next step, Alloy primer was used on a section of 9mm2 on the samples following the manufacturer’s instructions. After that Clearfil AP-X composite resin in cylinder shape with an internal diameter and height of 3mm were cured on the sections mentioned. At the end, all samples were tested to assess the shear bond strength by the Universal Testing Machine at a speed of 0.5mm/min until fracture occurred. The mean shear bond strengths were calculated and statistically analyzed by One Way ANOVA.Results:  ANOVA analysis showed that roughness (Ra) was significantly different between the groups (P≤0.05). Ra was higher in the Nd:YAG group compared to the other groups (P≤0.05). The lower Ra was related to the control group. Air abrasion group showed highest amounts of shear bond strength and Nd:YAG laser group demonstrated lower amounts of shear bond strength (P≤0.05).Conclusion: Various surface treatments are differently effective on bond strength. Air abrasion is the most effective method to condition zirconia ceramic surfaces
