Abstract: 

Introduction: Health sector can be directed to a great deal of improvements by formulation of proper policies. However, policy making in human resources, the most important resource, was not regarded as much necessary as the health sector.Therefore, this study aimed to compare core stages of policy making in human resources for the health sector (HRH). Such a research can be considered as an important step for identification of the proper process for policy making in HRH.Methods and Materials: This study was a descriptive comparative research. First of all, a discussion group consisting of human resources and health service administration elites were established. This group compared the selected models of policy making through a comparative table and projected core stages.Finally, the accuracy of the projected stages was studied by health system elites and university professors using a questionnaire with Likert method.Results: Using the comparative table, six stages for policy making in HRH were suggested by the discussion group. These stages included issue identification, assessment, policy formulation, implementation, policy evaluation and policy review. Somehow most of these stages were partially or completely considered in the studied models. Suggested stages were agreed by elites and, the average scores showed. In the end, HRH policy making stages were showed in a model.Conclusion: The six-stage policy making process was confirmed by both the respondent elites and related literature.Designing a model to illustrate the details of proper process for policy making can be suggested as an influential step to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health sector in Iran.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one of the most common contaminants found in soil. PAHs exhibit a significant concern because of their toxicity, carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic properties. Using microorganisms for cleaning the pollution of soil can be cheap, effective and can provide environmental immunity. The goal of this study is to isolate and identify phenanthrene degrading bacteria from contaminated crud oil soils around Abadan refinery and evaluation of their growth.Methods and Materials: The soil samples were collected from three areas around Abadan refinery. The numbers of bacteria were counted at the nutrient agar culture with and without phenanthrene. Isolation of bacteria was done by culturing the samples on phenanthrene broth with basic mineral medium, and on phenanthrene agar medium. Then, the bacteria were determined by the biochemical diagnosis tests. Finally, with the cultivation of bacteria in concentrations of 0.5 to 0.8 g/l phenanthrene, the ability of phenanthrene biodegradation was measured.Results: In this study, the maximum number of degrading bacteria was 8.083±0.10 at C station, and the minimum number of degrading bacteria was 5.442±0.10 at B station. In this study, the Bacillus sp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Corinebacterium sp, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria was isolated and identified, respectively.Pseudomonas and Bacillus had the most growth and degradation in different concentrations of phenanthrene.Conclusion: The results of this study showed that soil around Abadan refinery has lots of phenanthrene degrading bacteria, especially Bacillus and Pseudomonas.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Nowadays, development of any society depends on the health of the organization. A healthy organization is where people love the work and are proud to be part of that organization. This study investigated the relationship between organizational health and organizational commitment of personnel in selected hospitals affiliated with Ahwaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in 2011.Methods and Materials: This study was a cross-sectional applied research that was done among 168 personnel of selected teaching hospitals in Ahwaz city (Golestan and Taleghani). Data was collected by using the modified tool questionnaire of health organization (OHI) and Gee and Ford questionnaire for organizational commitment which their validity and reliability were measured before. Finally data was analyzed by Pearson correlation test.Results: The findings showed that among the listed dimensions of organizational health, the morale had the highest average (33.04) and the sources of support (15.83) had the lowest average. The average of organizational health was 152.62 from total points (220). Also between organizational health and some of its dimensions (principal influence, support resources, academic emphasis and morale) and organizational commitment was a significant and positive relationship (P<0.05) but other aspects (horalick, consideration and initiating structure) had no significant relationship (P>0.05). Moreover, the highest correlation was between organizational commitment and academic emphasis (r=0.356) and the least significant correlation was between consideration and organizational commitment (r=0.015).Conclusion: Organizational health of hospital staff has significant correlation with the organizational commitment which makes them feel more loyal to their organization and take steps towards achieving organizational goals.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Anopheles stephensi is one of the main vectors of malaria in the world including south of Iran. Three geographical populations for An. stephensi have been defined, based on egg morphology. The aim of the current study is determining the ability of different geographical populations of An. stephensi in the transmission of Plasmodium berghei using ANKA strain of this parasite.Methods and Materials: Four geographical populations of An.stephensifrom Bandar-Abbas, Iranshahr, Kazeroun and beach (native of India) were colonized.P. berghei strain ANKA was used to infect mice. Then the starved female mosquitoes of each population artificially fed on the infected blood of mice. In order to determine Oocyst and sporozoite development, mosquitoes were dissected at several time-points after infection.Results: The populations of Beach and Kazeroun showed the highest infection rate as well as the highest density to oocyst development while the lowest oocyst infection was observed in Bandar-Abbas strain. Oocyst infection of Iranshahr strain was significantly higher than Bandar-Abbas but less than Beach and Kazeroun strains. The ratio of sporozoite infection in salivary glands of four populations followed the same order as oocyst infection. The highest salivary glands infection was observed in Beach population followed by Kazeroun population but Bandar-Abbas group showed the lowest salivary glands infection.Conclusion: It seems that geographical and ecological separation of mosquito vectors not only cause some morphological, physiological and genetical changes but also affect the sensitivity of the vector to Plasmodium. Therefore impacts of each environment crucially affect Plasmodium/Anopheles interaction. So these findings may explain the transmission ability of some Anopheles in only a particular area. Also, the results may give basic evidence on the mechanism of Plasmodium adaptation to their mosquitos' vectors.
