Studying the Effect of Sertraline in Reducing Aggressive Behavior in Patients with Major Depression

Purpose: Depression causes dysfunction in various spheres of individual and social life, which is now considered as the fourth-leading cause of the global disease burden. Given that violence and aggression associated with depression in the community cause serious damage to the family, the prediction, early detection and effective treatment of aggressive and violent behavior are essential. The present study compared the severity of aggression before and after treatment with sertraline in patients with major depression. Methods: This is an intervention type study and the study population consisted of patients with depression and aggression. The sampling included 23 eligible patients. Data were obtained by SCID-I, SCID-II, STAXI-II, BDI-II and was also analyzed using SPSS 23 software. Results: The results showed that depression, anger mood, desire to verbally express anger, controlling anger and anger control before treatment was reduced but the desire for physical expression of anger increased. Conclusion: Obtained results in this research support the effect of Sertraline on reduction of severity of depression, reduction of severity of symptoms of aggression and anger (state of anger, anger feeling, and the tendency to express anger verbally), increased controlling external anger and significantly controlling internal anger. Hence, Sertraline can be found effective in the treatment of patients with depression and aggressive behaviors. Also Sertraline increases tend to cause physical representation of anger, then this issue supports the increase in the euthanasia behavior in primary days of treatment with SSRI that requires more assessments

Linear Contraction Behavior of Low-Carbon, Low-Alloy Steels During and After Solidification Using Real-Time Measurements

A technique for measuring the linear contraction during and after solidification of low-alloy steel was developed and used for examination of two commercial low-carbon and low-alloy steel grades. The effects of several experimental parameters on the contraction were studied. The solidification contraction behavior was described using the concept of rigidity in a solidifying alloy, evolution of the solid fraction, and the microstructure development during solidification. A correlation between the linear contraction properties in the solidification range and the hot crack susceptibility was proposed and used for the estimation of hot cracking susceptibility for two studied alloys and verified with the real casting practice. The technique allows estimation of the contraction coefficient of commercial steels in a wide range of temperatures and could be helpful for computer simulation and process optimization during continuous casting. © 2013 The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society and ASM International

A survey of factors affecting human resource retention in original equipment manufacturers (OEM) in east azerbaijan province, Iran

El objetivo de este estudio es investigar los factores que afectan la retención de recursos humanos en empresas OEM privadas en la provincia de Azerbaiyán Oriental. Sin embargo, esta investigación analiza el tema desde una perspectiva diferente que se basa en los empleados que no han dejado la organización y las razones detrás de ella. El propósito de este estudio es práctico, y su metodología es descriptiva - correlación. La población es todos los empleados de las empresas OEM privadas de la provincia de Azerbaiyán Oriental. El tamaño de la muestra es de 357 personas basadas en la fórmula de Krejcie y Morgan que se seleccionan al azar. En esta investigación, se aplica un cuestionario que está formado por el investigador y para determinar su validez se pone en juego la validez del contenido con la ayuda de profesores rectores. En la prueba se calculó la fiabilidad y la funcionalidad. Al estudiar la media de los resultados, se utilizó el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach y el número obtenido fue de 0,94. En el análisis estadístico, no hubo una gran brecha entre los factores de mantenimiento de los recursos humanos en la Policía de la provincia de Azerbaiyán Oriental. Los resultados muestran que los factores motivacionales, biológicos y de crecimiento influyen en la retención de recursos humanos
