Aims: Besides many problems during education courses, an increase in the level of stress, depression, or anxiety leads to interferences with the students’ professional roles. Mindfulness and cognitive strategies to regulate emotions positively affect human health in different human classes and different psychological symptoms. The aim of this study was to investigate the differentiation roles of mindfulness and cognitive strategies to regulate emotions in prediction of the psychological symptoms in the medical students.
Instrument & Methods: As a descriptive-correlational study, 375 students of Kerman University of Medical Sciences were randomly studied in 2014-15. The study tools were 5-dimension Mindfulness Questionnaire, Cognitive Strategies to Regulate the Emotions Questionnaire, and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Questionnaire. Data was analyzed in SPSS 20 software using Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Stepwise Regression test.
Findings: There was a significant correlation between the emotion regulation strategies and mindfulness and depression, anxiety, and stress (p<0.01). 25% of variance changes in depression were explained by the emotion regulation negative cognitive strategies (12%), the emotion regulation positive cognitive strategies (9%), and mindfulness (4%). 17% of the variance changes in anxiety were explained by the emotion regulation negative (12%) and positive (5%) cognitive strategies. 19.3% of the variance changes in stress were explained by the emotion regulation negative (17%) and positive (2.3%) cognitive strategies (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The effectiveness of cognitive strategies to regulate the emotions and especially, negative cognitive strategies to regulate the emotions is more considerable in explaining the psychological symptoms in the medical students than mindfulness. 
Homewear in Brazil: evolution from 1976 to present
The traditional bride trousseau (homewear) was composed of bedding, table and bath textiles and household utensils
that were necessary for her married life. Social changes and technological advances provided a new perspective and
proportion for homewear textile sector. This study aimed to analyze the evolution of household linen (bedding, table
and bath), from 1976 to 2019, in Brazil, related to composition of materials. Literature and magazines of this area were
analyzed, notably Casa Vogue Brasil (“Vogue Home Brazil”) and Casa Claudia (“Claudia Home”) magazines. It concluded
that the main employed material is cotton, followed in lesser extent by blends (notably cotton and polyester). The classic
patterns predominate, especially the flat fabrics, ornamented with embroidery and classic design of flower and geometric
prints, white and soft colors (clear beige, clear gray, etc.). These products represent the majority of sales in the domestic,
but they could be non-competitive at the foreign market considering the price in relation to commodities from Asia and
also lacking the necessary differentiation to meet these target publicsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the funding
