This paper presents the results of statistical analysis of collected data on the characteristics of envelope elements, as one of the key factors influencing energy consumption and costs, of school buildings (primary and secondary schools) located in the south region of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SR FBiH). The shares of the areas of walls, floors, ceilings and openings in the total area of the envelope, as well as thermal characteristics expressed through the heat transfer coefficient or U-value, were analyzed. This research was conducted by collecting data from detailed energy audit documents on a sample of 47 school buildings located in SR FBiH, which has a Mediterranean or sub-Mediterranean climate. The average envelope U-value is 1.88 W/m2K, and the results of this study indicate very poor thermal characteristics of the existing condition of individual elements of the envelope, expressed by U-values, which are several times higher than the allowable values.

Objectives Today, one of the most important challenges in the world and in Iran is the increase of older population. With the death of a spouse in old age, the social participation of the elderly decreases; living alone is associated with a high risk of death and an impact on all aspects of health (physical, mental, social) in the elderly. This study aims to investigate the barriers to remarriage in older Iranian women. Methods & Materials The present study was conducted in 2019 with a qualitative approach and using the content analysis method. Using a purposive sampling method, 10 older women living in Babol city with at least one year of being single, widowed or divorced, the ability to communicate effectively, willingness to participate in research were selected. The data collection method was in-depth semi-structured interviews until reaching data saturation. Each interview was transcribed and analyzed based on Kvale's step-by-step guidance. Results In order to determine the trustworthiness of the data, the criteria of credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability were used. From the interviews, 210 primary codes were extracted. Through analysis, three main categories and 12 sub categories were identified. The three categories were: "characteristics, changes and perspectives of the elderly", "family and mutual roles of members", "social relations and its effects". Conclusion Considering the shame, modesty, and the taboo of remarriage in older women in Iran and the lack of transparency regarding their desires, planning and promoting culture to improve the quality of life of older women, breaking the taboo of remarriage by changing people's views and common prejudices, and not violating the older women's rights seem necessary.

Objectives Elder abuse is one of the major social health problems in communities which has significant effects on decreasing their health and safety. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence of elder abuse by family members and its related factors in Gonabad, Iran. Methods & Materials This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 on 401 elderly people in Gonabad, Iran. Who were selected using cluster random sampling. Data collection tools were a two-part questionnaire including a demographic form and the questionnaire of elder abuse by family members. The questionnaires were completed in a community health center. Data were analyzed in SPSS software version 23, using descriptive and inferential statistics. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results The mean age of participants was 68.53±6.75 years. The prevalence of elder abuse by family members was 44.6%. The highest prevalence of elder abuse was related to care negligence and the lowest prevalence was related to rejection. The educational level (P=0.03), history of hospitalization (P<0.001), sleep quality (P<0.001), income level (P<0.001) and level of dependency (P<0.001) had a statistically significant relationship with the prevalence of elder abuse by family members. Conclusion Given the high prevalence of elder abuse in Gonabad city, it seems necessary to have programs to increase the awareness of the elderly, their caregivers, and health personnel to prevent and reduce elder abuse.

The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between urban morphology and noise pollution in district 3 of Tabriz. The data collection method was library and field. In the data collection stage, audio data were collected from the study area in two shifts in the moming (7 to 10) and night (19 to 22) at 45 points in the study area. Audio data was collected using the Decibel X application. The results show that the average sound in the morning is 87.06 dB and the standard deviation is 10.16. Also, the average sound in the night interval is equal to 90.08 decibels and the standard deviation is 9.28. It is observed that the average of both mentioned intervals is higher than the standard. Based on the analysis of the average sound by land use, the terminal with the average sound of 95.52 decibels and the standard deviation of 2.94 had the highest average sound in night and with an average sound of 94.94 and a standard deviation of 0.71 have the highest average sound in the morning. Also, based on the standards presented in the section on theoretical foundations, it is observed that all applications are higher than the standard sound level. Wilcoxon test was used to evaluate the sound status compared to the standard. This test was significant at the level of 0.000 which showed that the average sound in the study range for morning and night is more than the standard 75 decibels; Therefore, the research hypothesis that the average sound is higher than the standard level of 75 decibels was confirmed. The Yumen-Whitney test was used to compare the mean sound between morning and night. Accordingly, the findings show that there is no statistical difference between the average morning and night noise. Based on the analyzes performed at a scale of 250 * 250, there was no statistically significant relationship between the independent variables of the research and the average sound in the moming and night. At 50 * 50 scale, the relationship between the average sound of the moming interval with the distance from the green space, population density, and the density of the constructed space was significant.

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of conceptual change texts in teaching the concepts that are challenging and often misunderstood in the field of active citizenship learning contained in the 6th grade social studies course. A total of 67 sixth graders studying in two different classrooms at the same secondary school participated in this study, in which a quasi-experimental design was used as one of the quantitative research approaches. The experimental group was instructed through conceptual change texts during the implementation, while the control group was taught with the existing curriculum. Data were collected with a concept comprehension test and a concept-related academic achievement test. Descriptive and predictive analytics were used for analysing the data. The students in the experimental and control groups were found to have limited understanding to the extent of not understanding the related concepts. After the activities, it was observed that the final knowledge level of the students in the control group as regards concept comprehension did not show a significant change when compared to their prior level of knowledge, while that of the experimental group showed a considerable increase. A statistical significance was found between the scores of the experimental and control groups in favour of the experimental group in the concept-related academic achievement. In this sense, it can be argued that the use of conceptual change texts to teach the concepts determined in the field of active citizenship learning enables students to learn such concepts more easily and is effective in eliminating students’ misconceptions.

Background and Aim This study aimed to investigate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of hydatid cyst disease in patients admitted to Imam Reza, Imam Hossein, and Bisotoon hospitals in Kermanshah City, Iran, from 2014 to 2018. Methods & Materials In this descriptive study, we studied and analyzed the medical records of 350 patients with hydatid cysts who were hospitalized and underwent surgical treatment in Kermanshah hospitals from 2014 to 2018. Also, the demographic characteristics of patients, including gender, age, occupation, place of residence, and affected organs, were extracted and recorded. Ethical Considerations The Ethics Committee of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences approved this study (Code: IR.KUMS.REC.1398.366). Results In total, 350 patients with a Mean±SD age of 43.2±19.7 in women and 43.3±20.7 in men were admitted with a diagnosis of hydatid cyst. The highest and lowest prevalence of hydatid cysts were in the age groups of 41-50 (16.5%) years and 1-10 (4.8%) years, respectively. The prevalence was 181 (51.7%) in women and 169 (48.2%) in men. The organs mostly infected with hydatid cysts were the liver, lung, and brain, with 241 cases (68.8%), 55 (15.7%), and 24 (6.8%), respectively. Conclusion This study shows that hydatid cyst disease is an important disease, especially in rural areas of Kermanshah Province, Iran. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
