2Introduction: Schoolchildren have to use backpacks every day on routes with different characteristics and weights to carry their staff. However, the knowledge available on its effects on walking biomechanics is very limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using backpacks with different weights on plantar kinetics and balance variables among female students during the stance phase of walking. Methods: Twenty female students in the age range of 14-17 with available sampling participated as subjects in this semi-experimental study. Participants carried backpacks with 10%, 15%, and 20% of body weight during walking. Plantar pressure data of subjects was collected by a foot pressure system. Repeated measure ANOVA was run to analyze the obtained data. Results: The results showed that the force in the heel medial and fifth metatarsal were significantly lower in 10% of body weight as compared to 15% (p=0. 045) and 20% (p=0. 038) body weight. Also, heel rotation in carrying a backpack with 20% of body weight was significantly greater than 10% of body weight (p=0. 031). Conclusion: According to the results, it seems, that increasing the weight of a backpack can alter the pattern of force distribution in the foot during walking. Changing foot biomechanics leads to poor posture adjustment and raises the risk of muscle-skeletal injuries among school students.

2Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of self-compassion training and acceptance and commitment-based therapy on the cognitive flexibility of mothers of children with autism. methods: This research was applied in terms of purpose and semi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group and a follow-up phase and the statistical population included mothers of children with autism in Dost Autism Institute in Tehran in 2019. 45 people from this community were selected as a sample group using voluntary and non-probability sampling methods and replaced by simple random in three groups of 15 people which included two experimental groups and one control group. The first group of the experiment received eight sessions of self-compassion training and the second group of the experiment received eight sessions of acceptance and commitment training. The duration of the sessions for both groups was 45 minutes weekly, and the control group was placed on the waiting list. The research tools were the cognitive flexibility questionnaire, acceptance and commitment protocol, and self-compassion protocol. The data were analyzed using the method of multivariate analysis of covariance and repeated measurement. Results: The results showed that self-compassion training and therapy based on acceptance and commitment were effective on the cognitive flexibility of mothers of children with autism. Therefore, teaching self-compassion and treatment based on acceptance and commitment can have useful results in improving the mental health of these mothers.

2Introduction: The increase in the serum level of the biochemical indicators of cardiac muscle cells is related to the intensity and duration of exercise. The aim of the present study was to the effect of a period of resistance training with blood flow restriction on the level of Biochemical Markers of Cardiac Cells in judokas. Methods: The current research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of the present study was made up of male judokas athletes in Tehran. 30 male judo players were randomly divided into 2 groups, the first group (with an average age of 26.33) and the second group (exercise with blood flow restriction with an average age of 25.33). Before the implementation of training programs, blood samples were taken from the subjects by ELISA method to determine the serum concentration of CK-MB, CTN-T, and CTN-I indicators. Results: The results of the intergroup test showed that CTN-I (P=0.028), CTN-T (P=0.036), and CK-MB (P=0.027) in the two groups of resistance training with blood flow restriction and resistance Traditional had a significant difference. The results of the intra-group test showed that CTN-I (P=0.000), CTN-T (P=0.000), and CK-MB (P=0.003) in the resistance training group with blood flow restriction and CTN- I (P=0.000), CTN-T (P=0.000) and CK-MB (P=0.000) increased in the traditional resistance training group in the post-test phase compared to the pre-test. Conclusions: According to the results of the research and the examination of the difference of the averages, both exercises have led to an increase in the specific biochemical indices of heart cells, and this increase was less in the group of resistance exercises with blood flow restriction. Therefore, the use of resistance training along with blood flow restriction can be considered by male judo coaches and athletes.

2Introduction: Diabetes is one of the chronic medical problems with a very rapid spread in the world. his disease is related to the increase in blood sugar in people. to control the blood sugar of patients, it is necessary to encourage them to self-care. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and compassion-based therapy on self-care and glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetic patients.  This research was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test - post-test plan with a control group. Methods: The statistical population consisted of diabetic patients who were members of the Hamedan Diabetes Association in 1400. 48 of these patients were selected by purposive sampling method and were divided into three groups by simple random method. The cognitive-behavioral therapy program and the compassion-based therapy program were implemented for 8 sessions (twice a week for 90 minutes) and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data collection tools included blood tests and self-care questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Spss-25 statistical software and multivariate covariance analysis method. Results:The results of this research showed that the compassion-based therapy compared to the Kuntzel treatment reduced glycosylated hemoglobin (P < 0.05) and increased self-care behaviors (P < 0.05). Also, there was a significant difference between the cognitive behavioral therapy and the control group. In the case of glycosylated hemoglobin and self-care behaviors, there was no difference in the post-test phase compared to the pre-test phase. The results of the Bonferroni test showed that the effect of compassion-based therapy on glycosylated hemoglobin and self-care behaviors is greater than that of cognitive-behavioral therapy (P < 0.01). Conclussion: The results of this research showed that compassion-based therapy was more effective than cognitive behavioral therapy in increasing self-care behaviors and improving glycosylated hemoglobin.

2Introduction: Knowledge creation is the most basic source of innovation and learning for educational organizations, especially military ones. Military nursing, as a new field, plays a vital role in improving the health of military forces and society. Therefore, this research was performed to a pattern for organizational knowledge creation in military nursing education. Methods: This qualitative study was performed using the systematic strategy of grounded theory by Strauss and Corbin (2015) approach. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 16 experts and university professors with experience in the field of military nursing and continued until theoretical saturation. Participants were selected by the theoretical sampling method. Data analysis was done by constant comparative method and theoretical coding, and then the paradigm pattern was explained. The correctness and strength of the collected data were evaluated based on Lincoln and Goba criteria. Result: The findings led to the identification of 27 components, in the form of a paradigm pattern, that include the central phenomenon (organizational knowledge creation), "causal components" with sub-factors (sovereign will to creating knowledge, educational system of military nursing, individual and skill competencies and motivational factors), "contextual components" with sub-factors (demographic characteristics, infrastructures and equipment, information technology and scientific resources, research structure, organizational culture, management factors, educational organization strategies), "intervening components" with sub-factors (organizational conflict, security factors, economic resources, environmental factors, Educational inter organizational interactions), "strategic components" with sub-factors ( Creating a knowledge creation system, experiences recording, content production and publications, meta-technology of learning, improvement and  promotion of curriculum, targeted recruitment of human resources, empowerment of professors and specialized training of nursing students) and "Consequent components" with sub-factors (acquiring scientific authority and responding to the needs of the organization and society). Conclusion: The presented pattern shows managerial, scientific, technological, and organizational importance for the realization of knowledge creation in the field of military nursing education. Careful monitoring, extensive measures, and the implementation of appropriate programs and policies in the above fields can lead to increasing scientific authority and responding to the needs of the organization and society.
