The statistical population is volentier couples who have reffering to the premartial counseling centers that they had been married since last year to express their training needs based on experince of the life. The samples are included 240 couples and data instrument was the questionnaires that directly were interviewed and data were analyzed by use of SPSS software. Results:less educated, rurals, home worker and laborershas more training need than the others and there is a significant difference. (p = 0.000). but training need is not related to the marriageable age, gender and there was no significant difference(p > 0.50). The young couples are explained the lessamount of training needs in case of form and function of the reproductive system, method of contraception from prognancy, preparation needs before sextual, simultanios and how they can have sexual relation and how they have sexual and intercourse intercourse and statidfy.

Soybean pod abnormality is a kind of growth in which soybean plant accompanied with growth disorders including sever pod and flower abscission as well as leaves and pod morphological modifications. In an acute status, these kinds of plants stays green; therefore, the yield decreases and harvest time delay, dramatically. To investigate the reasons of pod distortion abnormality in Katul cultivar, a field assay based on roving method was performed. In the field experiment based on roving method 40 fields of Katul were selected randomly and traits like yield and yield component as well as managemental and climatic parameters were recorded in two successive growing years, 2015 and 2016. Result indicated that all field management factors didnot have any effect on PDS, except frequency of irrigation. In such a way that decreasing frequency of watering increased incidence of PDS significantly. Furthermore, percent of flower abscissions as well as shoot dry weight were increased; meanwhile, number of pod per plant, number of grain per pod, number of grain per plant, 1000-grain weight, harvest index, biological yield and grain yield dwindled extraordinary in PDS plants. Taken together, these results indicated that abiotic stresses such as heat and drought stresses as well as undesirable field irrigation might play an important role in soybean pod distortion abnormality incidence. In addition, interpreting of mineral nutrient indicated that well nutrition plants might decrease damage percentage of soybean pod abnormality.

Abstract Background: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely-used flavor enhancer and stabilizer in ready-made or packaged foods. The excessive use of MSG has been shown to increase oxidative stress in different regions of the brain. In this study, the neuroprotective effect of L-carnitine was investigated against MSG intoxication in granular cell of cerebellum in rats. Materials and Methods: 48 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: the control, sham (normal saline treated), MSG (3%), L-Carnitine200, MSG+L-Carnitine100 and MSG+L-Carnitine200. After 30 days of treatment, through transcardialy perfusion, the rats were sacrificed and histopathological analyses were conducted on cerebellum. Results: The results indicated that the density of granular cells in cerebellar folium IV, V and VI of rats in the MSG group had significantly decreased in comparison to that of the control and sham groups. Furthermore, the MSG+L-Carnitine200 group showed the higher density of granular cells compared with the MSG group in the three folia. Conclusion: Treatment with L-Carnitine could protect the granular cells in cerebellum against MSG intoxication in rats.

The research method is descriptive while using correlation. The hypothesis was tested via multivariate linear regression models as well as panel data method. The time period of research is 2006-2010 and the sample consists of 82 companies which are already admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange. The results indicate that marginal value of cash is negative in terms of the market. Furthermore, findings show that there is no significant relationship between marginal value of financial flexibility and capital structure decisions of firms under study, which is the firms, would not consider financial flexibility level in their decisions regarding increasing or decreasing debts. Such lack of consideration would in the long term, result in the loss of financial flexibility as well as missing profitable investment opportunities.

Introduction: Safety climate is defined as the employees' common insights about safety management in a specific place and time. Nurses have a highly risky occupation, in which they are required to take safety issues into consideration. This study aimed at investigating the attitude of nurses towards safety climate in the hospitals of Kermanshah City, Iran. Methods: This descriptive-analytical research was conducted with 112 nurses in the hospitals of Kermanshah City. A two-section questionnaire was administered for data collection. The first part was related to the nurses' demographic and occupational characteristics and the second part contained the nurses' safety climate questionnaire. After data collection, the data were analyzed by SPSS-16. Results: Results showed that the mean and standard deviation of the safety climate in nurses was 0.56 ± 3.06. A significant relationship was found between all factors, except for the relationship between cumulative burnout and error reporting. The safety climate was almost equal between men and women. Moreover, safety climate was higher in single people than the married ones. In the morning shift, the highest safety climate was in the workplace. Furthermore, people with a second job felt safety climate more. Conclusion: Research results showed that safety climate was not at a satisfactory level in the studied nursing personnel. Therefore, it is suggested to improve the safety climate and its effects on the safety performance by training safety issues, holding technical courses on safety, and adjusting work-rest time.

Background: The branches of right and left subclavian arteries are important in conducting of blood to spinal cord, posterior cranial fossa, base of the neck, thyroid gland, wall of the thorax and abdomen. The routine use of internal thoracic artery as a conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery requires appreciation of the anatomical variations of these vessels. So far, there is not any report about the variation of subclavian artery and it’s branches in Iran, for this reason this study have been done to see the variations of the subclavian arteries and its branches. Materials and methods: The base of the neck of 40 male cadavers approximately 40-80 years old were dissected bilaterally with appropriate equipments. The specimens were fixed with routine fixative in dissection hall. Findings: In all specimens the left subclavian artery had normal origin but the right subclavian artery in one case originated from the beginning of the arch of aorta and in another one a retroesophageal right subclavian artery was present. We have seen that, the left vertebral artery in 2 cadavers and right vertebral artery in 1 specimen, rose from arch of aorta. This study showed that the variation of thyrocervical and internal thoracic arteries are uncommon. Conclusion: For preserving the integrity of important structures in the base of the neck, especially thyroid gland in surgery, this vascular variations are presented to physicians to keep in mind that such variations exists during diagnostic investigation and surgical procedures of the neck. An awareness of these variations is important, because this area in used for diagnostic and surgical procedures.
