@article{ author = {}, title = {Quality of life of Women heading household covered by Tehran Welfare Organization}, abstract ={Abstract Background and Objectives: The vulnerability of women heading households both at the individual and community levels can lead to decreased quality of life of women. Pressure caused by the single-headed life leads to reduced quality of life. Identifying problems and obstacles in the lives of head women is important in the effective control of problems. The aim of this study was to determine the four dimensions of quality of life of Women heading households Welfare Organization in the province of Tehran. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive-analytical study, 180 female heads of households were selected from Welfare Organization in the province of Tehran using sample size formula to estimate ratio of the phenomenon and multi-stage allocated random sampling method. The World Health Organization's quality of life questionnaire was used to gather information. The data was analyzed using the statistical software SPSS (15) at the significant level of 0.05 and descriptive (mean, standard deviation, absolute frequency, relative frequency) and analytical methods (Chi-square test, Spearman correlation co-efficient, Kruskal-wallis and ANOVA). Results:  Mean and standard deviation of age was 43.39±8.83 and duration of householder was less than five years. Quality of life in the studied women was moderate. The highest mean score was (50.35) related to the physical aspect, and the lowest mean was (37.82) related to the environmental aspect. There were significant relationships between quality of life and marital status (p=.019), duration of householder (p=.039), duration of employment (p=.02) and wages (p=.002). Conclusion: The quality of life of the studied women is not desirable, and design of appropriate interventions to improve their quality of life will be necessary.}, Keywords = {female heads of households, quality of life, WHOQOL – BREF questionnaire}, volume = {1}, Number = {1}, pages = {1-10}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://rsj.iums.ac.ir/article-1-21-en.html}, eprint = {http://rsj.iums.ac.ir/article-1-21-en.pdf}, journal = {Rahavard Salamat Journal}, issn = {}, eissn = {2588-3089}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Safarpour, Peivasteh and Vafa, Mohammad Rez}, title = {Alpha linolenic Acid and Risk of Type2 diabetes Incidence: Systematic Review on Cohort Studies}, abstract ={Abstract Introduction and objective: due to the lack of enough research on the biological effects of ALA on diabetes on the one hand, and due to the lack of any study carried out in Iran on the relationship between the amount of ALA and the possibility of suffering from Diabetes 2, the present study is an attempt to perform a systematic review on cohort studies. Materials and methods: in this study, some search engines such as PUB MED, Scopus, and Science Direct were used to investigate cohort studies in adults. Furthermore, in order to support the results of the systematic review, a manual review was done where the references of the existing articles were checked. In case of finding any related article, it was also used in this study.  Results: among those studies where ALA erythrocyte membrane phospholipid and plasma Cholesterol esters were measured, in three ones, there was an opposite relationship between the increasing amount of ALA and the possibility of suffering from Diabetes but in two other studies, no significant relationship was seen. Moreover, there was no significant relationship between the possibility of suffering of Diabetes and dieting measures. Even in one study, it was seen that the increase of ALA dieting measures increased the possibility of Diabetes.  Conclusion: the present results show that fish usage might have a slight positive relationship with Diabetes 2 but more ALA usage decreases the possibility of suffering from this disease.}, Keywords = {alpha linolenic acid, Diabetes 2, Insulin resistance, Insulin sensitivity, Glycemic Control}, volume = {1}, Number = {1}, pages = {11-21}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://rsj.iums.ac.ir/article-1-22-en.html}, eprint = {http://rsj.iums.ac.ir/article-1-22-en.pdf}, journal = {Rahavard Salamat Journal}, issn = {}, eissn = {2588-3089}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {GhorbaniShahna, Farshid and Abedi, Kamalledin and Bahrami, Abdulrahman and Jaleh, Babak and Ebrahimi, Hossei}, title = {The activation of deactivated TiO2 and ZnO catalysts by exposure with clean air flow and UV radiation}, abstract ={Background and Objectives: Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a promising method for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Photocatalytic oxidation process, despite its advantages, has disadvantages such as deactivation of photocatalyst. The deactivated photocatalyst can be active through thermal abatement, ozonation, exposure with clean air and UV radiation. Materials and Methods: In this paper, the deactivated TiO2 and ZnO catalysts were exposed to clean air flow and UV radiation for 6, 12 and 24 hours. After exposure, the efficiency of reactivated catalysts in photocatalytic oxidation of chloroform was examined. Results:  The results showed that clean air flow and UV radiation can be active the deactivated catalysts. The highest and lowest removal efficiency of chloroform by reactivated catalyst was an average of about 34.50 and 10.50%, respectively. The maximum and minimum rate of activation were 34.50% and 10.50%, respectively. Conclusion: The rate of activation was a function of exposure time with pure air and UV radiation.

Diabetes mellitus, a group of diseases in which the concentration of blood glucose increases resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both forms and one of the most common metabolic disease, that recently is considered a health priority  in Iran. Recent studies show high prevalence of  food insecurity and diabetes mellitus in different cities of Iran. Previously, no study had  been conducted to assess food  insecurity and diabetes mellitus association in Iran. The objective of this study, was to examine this association. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 135 patients with type 2 diabetes as cases (99 females, 36 males, mean age 46.83) and 135 persons without diabetes mellitus (89 females, 46 males, mean age 45.93) as controls referred to clinics of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The diabetes mellitus based on fasting blood sugar test page based on the criteria ≥126mg / dl) were determined.
