    The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical fitness and body composition with overall health of non-athlete high school boys of Miandoab in 2014-2015 school year. One hundred one students were selected by convenience sampling method. To check the physical fitness, subjects' indices such abdominal muscle endurance (sit up), flexibility (seated hand stretch to toe), cardiorespiratory endurance (548 meter race), agility (4 in 9 meters race) shoulder girdle muscles endurance (modified horizontal bar), sprint (45 meters), and body composition by measuring subcutaneous fat in triceps and calf using Slater et al formula were measured. To check the general health status, General Health Questionnaire was used. Analysis of the data showed that there was no significant relationship between body composition components (P=0.045). No significant relationship was observed between physical fitness and general health subscales (P=0.292), which may be due to sampling foolproof. There was a significant relationship between flexibility and cardio-respiratory endurance with some general health measures (P=0.038). The negative correlation between the level of physical fitness and general health indicators and its scores' getting lower indicate a lack of physical and mental health. Moreover, the significance of the relationship between flexibility and cardio-respiratory endurance with indices of general health factors may be due to the impact of fitness elements on individuals' health  Article visualizations

    Development of competitive intelligence and foresight (future studies) leads to the creation of a perfect image of the current status and future of competition scene facing managers for better decision making. Utilizing competitive intelligence and foresight (future studies) leads to the recognition of short-term and long-term strategies in marketing. Here, the research methodology is correlation-descriptive and has been carried out as field study. Statistical population of this research includes all managers at General Department of Youth Affairs and Sport in West Azerbaijan consisting 43 persons. In this research statistical sample equals the statistical population. Questionnaires of this research have been designed in three parts as competitive intelligence, foresight (future studies) and marketing system. In this research correlation and regression methodology have been used. Based on obtained information and analyzing the data about the relationship between competitive intelligence and development of marketing it was found that: creating intelligence has a positive connection with customer relationship. Intelligence distribution is positively associated with the customer relationship. Responsiveness is positively associated with customer relationship. Also about the relationship between foresight (future studies) and development of marketing it was found that: foresight (future studies) is positively associated with customer relationship. Decision-making is positively associated with the creation of differentiated products

    In this paper, the effect of mobility and active layer thickness on the properties of bulk heterojunction solar cells have been investigated using the drift-diffusion model. It was observed that open circuit voltage and power conversion efficiency are affected by two loss mechanisms. The recombination of charge carriers in wrong contacts destroys photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and the bulk recombination increases the act of coupling between electron-hole pairs with different binding energies and consequently lowers the open circuit voltage. The first loss mechanism rises as the mobility of each of the two carriers increases. The bulk recombination not only depends on the slow carrier mobility but also affected by the mobility balance of two carriers. Thus, it generates two optimal points for power conversion efficiency at none unity electron to hole mobility ratio. In the active layer, light does not get absorbed uniformly, and the profile of the photogenerated excitons depends on the device thickness. Therefore, similar changes in the electron and hole mobility do not bring about the same changes in power conversion efficiency. Also, this study indicates that with the simultaneous increase of mobility and thickness, considerable enhancement in the efficiency of the bulk heterojunction solar cells would be achieved
