مقایسه تست عملکردی FMS در ورزشکاران ووشوکار حرفه‎ای با و بدون آسیب

Background and Aim: Many researchers have reported changes in movement patterns after injury. In this regard, the aim of this study was to compare the performance test of FMS in professional Wushu athletes with and without injury. Methods: In this cross-sectional and causal-comparative study, 120 Wushu players in the age range of 23 to 30 years were purposefully selected based on inclusion criteria. The evaluation of functional movement patterns was assessed by FMS functional test. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 26 through descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test was used to compare the difference between the groups with and without injury, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression tests were used to compare the two groups. Results: The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between the performance test scores between the two groups. The non-injured group reported a higher overall score than those with a history of injury. Conclusion: It can be pointed out that injury can mainly lead to changes in movement patterns. Athletes with a history of previous injury may have faulty movement patterns; therefore, they may have problems when performing high-level sports activities.

A review on the applications of polyurea in the construction industry

Polyurea has drawn the attention of construction activists and engineers as a modern building material due to its unique structure, unique properties, and relatively easy application even in hard-to-reach places. A wide range of excellent properties such as durability and high resistance against the atmospheric, chemical, and biological factors have made this polymer a superb option for the construction industry. The ability to reinforce the building materials and structures coupled with excellent resistance against corrosion and abrasion has dramatically increased the popularity of polyurea as a protective coating in the construction industry. In these industries, sealing and insulating the different floors and surfaces have also been considered using the polyurea coating. Polyurea coating technology is a green technology without pollution and toxicity to the environment, which is an essential advantage over many competing technologies in the construction industry. The use of polyurea composite systems to optimize various properties such as mechanical and thermal properties in addition to reducing the costs and economic burden is increasing. In the present paper, multiple applications of polyurea-based materials in the construction industry are discussed

A Study and Analysis of the Mystical Disposition of Ibn Khafif Shirazi

Abu Abdullah Mohammad Ibn Khafif Shirazi, the founder of the Khafifi mystical dynasty, is among the most influential figures in the history of Islamic Sufism. In spite of his crucial role in developing and expanding Islamic mysticism, there has been no systematic study of his mystical disposition to date. This descriptive-analytic research was conducted to gain a profounder understanding of Ibn Khafif's mystical disposition. The questions addressed are: What is the origin and destination of mystical journey in Ibn Khafif's approach, and where do the other destinations lie in between? How important is each of these destinations to the seeker's progress? Which abilities are required to earn the achievements of each destination and what are the manners for acquiring them? The works and sayings of Sheikh did not provide clear responses to these questions; however, the most significant outcome derived from the existing evidence is that devotion is the origin of conduct, and divine recognition is the goal. The origin and the final destination are separated by mystical destinations; among which are mystical states, and according to Ibn Khafif, they are superior to the stations. As the destination of consciousness is preferred over inebriation, and hence, less importance is placed on expansion, enchantment, profanity, and prayer-like dancing, and more emphasis is placed on poverty, asceticism, fear, and grief destinations, the importance of presence is also elevated above that of absence. The destination of poverty is of particular importance to Ibn Khafif, and the preference for poverty over wealth is another indicator worth observing in his mystical disposition. His mysticism is based on Junaid Baghdadi’s teachings; nevertheless, he was influenced by the mystical teachings of Bayazid, which were disseminated in Fars

Digital twin applications for overcoming construction supply chain challenges

Despite Digital Twins' (DTs) growing popularity in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations sector, currently, only a limited number of studies have focused on the applicability and potential offered by DT to deal with the whole Construction Supply Chain (CSC) challenges, justifying the significance of the present study. As a response to provide a holistic insight into DT's contribution to overcoming CSC challenges, this paper follows an extensive literature review approach. This review aims explicitly to identify the existing applications of DT in dealing with current CSC challenges and explore its possible contributions by investigating examples of other industries that adopted DT to tackle similar challenges. Firstly, it utilises Scopus as a database to collect CSC-related data. Subsequently, it employs VOSviewer to extract and visualise CSC hotspots. Finally, this review conducts extensive discussions to identify the CSC challenges around the identified hotspots and the DT-provided solutions.</p

The Iranian blood pressure measurement campaign, 2019: study protocol and preliminary results

Purpose Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for premature mortality and morbidity in Iran. The objective of the Iranian blood pressure (BP) measurement campaign was to identify individuals with raised blood pressure and providing appropriate care and increase the awareness among the public and policymakers of the importance of tackling hypertension. Methods The campaign was conducted in two phases. The first (communication) phase started on May 17th (International Hypertension Day). The second phase started on June 8th, 2019, and lasted up to July 7th during which, blood pressures were measured. The target population was Iranians aged >= 30 years. Participants voluntarily referred to health houses in rural and health posts and comprehensive health centers in urban areas in the setting of the Primary Health Care network. Additionally, over 13,700 temporary stations were set up in highly visited places in urban areas. Volunteer healthcare staff interviewed the participants, measured their BP, and provided them with lifestyle advice and knowledge of the risks and consequences of high blood pressure. They referred participants to physicians in case their BP was high. Participants immediately received a text message containing the relevant advice based on their measured BP and their past history. Results Blood pressure was measured for a total of 26,678,394 participants in the campaign. A total of 13,722,148 participants (51.4%) were female. The mean age was 46 +/- 14.1 years. Among total participants, 15,012,693 adults (56.3%) with no past history of hypertension had normal BP, 7,959,288 participants had BP in the prehypertension range (29.8%), and finally, 3,706,413 participants (13.9%) had either past medical history of hypertension, used medications, or had high BP measured in the campaign. Conclusion The campaign was feasible with the objective to increase the awareness among the public and policymakers of the importance of tackling hypertension in Iran
