Since the evaluation of the diversity indicators in consumption of medicinal species by the beneficiary’s households and its driving factors is of utmost importance in marketing, multi-purpose planning of rangelands and sustainable development, a questionary-based study was carried out to determine the diversity indices of medicinal species consumption in settled nomadic communities living under different management and livelihood situations in the rangelands of Dyvaroeieh in Bardsir township, Kerman province, Iran. To this end, the medicinal species consumed by each household (as a study unit) in addition to the diversity indicators of consumption (i.e., dominance coefficient and Shannon-Weiner index) were evaluated under two management sites comprising Rangeland Management Plan (RMP) (i.e.,Dvyaroeieh 1) and the nearest adjacent rangeland without RMP (i.e., Dyvaroeieh 2, as control treatment ) and three livelihood levels (i.e., very poor (<50 million Rials monthly income), poor (50-100 million Rials monthly income) and moderate (100-150 million Rials monthly income)) under factorial test in SPSS software environment. The study's results revealed that both of management and livelihood factors can be applied by manager to increase diversity indices in medicinal plants consumed by beneficiaries. More specifically, management through RMP was more powerful and effective tool in this way. Therefore, it could conceivably be argued that RMP can be considered as a driving factor in increasing the diversity of medicinal plant consumption and also be a suitable platform to meet the needs and demands of rangelands’ beneficiaries in this field.

I was glancing at the proceedings of the 3rd National Meeting of Iranian Association of Medical Editors of December 2010, few points took my attention worth mentioning. Of the 173 medical science journals of Iran only 54 are registered in the SCOPUS Database.At this gathering all the talks had been focused on the improvement of the quality and impact factors (IF) which is the score that the scientific articles receive when cited in other publications. It was also interesting to know that the IF was used in some publications since 1955. I was somehow surprised since the medical articles have been written more than hundred years and even during the Greek and Islamic domination of medical sciences. Why such new standardizations and demands have been imposed on the writers and editors. To understand the aim of such requisites I referred to the following site, www.icmje.org to find out some more details on this matter (Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biological Journals Writing and Editing for Biomedical Journals), which I Present here few essential points of the document.

The Present study aimed to evaluate the Present situation of charity education in schools. To this aim, a phenomenological method was used using semi-structured interview. The sample included the principals and teachers from 12 public, private and Quranic elementary schools for both girls and boys in Tabriz, Iran. First, the type and amount of educational activities in the schools were emphasized. Then, the posteriori content analysis method was used to analyze the interviews. Based on the results, the use of the charity fund and the distribution of the money envelope were more frequent among the principals’ responses, while composition was more frequent among the teachers' response. According to the majority of principals, the time that was often held at the celebration of charity and the deputy of the school and the training tutor, along with a group of student, were more responsible for its implementation. According to the majority of teachers, the concept of charity from the second grade of elementary school was more understandable for the students, and the role of practical activities and the content of the textbooks could play a significant and complementary role. Finally, the barriers for training this type of content were elaborated according to interviewees. After collecting and classifying the data, four themes including overt, hidden, absurd, and extracurricular curriculum were extracted.
