Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of effective school-based SELF-control skill training on increasing psychological hardiness and SELF-efficacy of male students of the first secondary level.Method: This research is a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study included male students of the first secondary school in Qom city, 30 students were selected using the available sampling method and divided into two groups of 15 people completely randomly. Students in the experimental group participated in 8 sessions of the school-based SELF-control training program, and the control group did not receive training. Before and after the implementation of the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the psychological hardiness scale of Lang and Goulet (2003) and the SELF-efficacy scale of children and adolescents (SEQ-C). The data was analyzed using spss-22 software and through repeated measures analysis of variance test.Findings: The results showed that school-based SELF-control skill training has a significant effect on increasing students' psychological hardiness and SELF-efficacy (P<0.01). Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated that school-based SELF-control skill training can be an effective intervention in increasing psychological hardiness and SELF-efficacy in students.

Background and aim: Inadequate bond strength of resin cements to dentin appears to be a typical cause of failure in retention of fiber posts. In restoring endodontically treated teeth with fiber posts the cement-dentin interface is the weakest link. This study aims to compare the effect of SELF-etch and SELF-adhesive resin cements on shear bond strength of fiber posts to dentin.Materials and methods: This in vitro experimental study included 40 mandibular premolars with a single canal. All samples received standardized endodontic treatment after meeting the inclusion criteria. They were randomly divided into four groups and a post space was prepared in each sample. A size two Match post RTD fiber post was cemented into each sample using CoreCem (RTD) in group A, Panavia F2 (Kuraray) in group B, Bis Cem (Bisco) in group C and Maxcem Elite (Kerr) in group D as cementing agents. All samples were then cut into two pieces. Each specimen was loaded with equal force using a Universal Testing Machine. The load was applied from the apical to the coronal portion of each sample until fracture occurred. The mean shear bond strength for two each group was recorded and statistically analyzed with ANOVA (one way) and Dunnett’s tests using SPSS.Results: The mean shear bond strength was found to be as follows: Group A: (12.66 ±3.77) MPa Group B: (14.61±4.18) MPa Group C: (7.26±2.49) MPa Group D: (6.68±3.17) Mpa, Significant difference was demonstrated between shear bond strength of four groups (P=0.001). Mean bond strengths of resin cements in group A and B were not statistically different. Same results were shown when comparing cements in group C and D. However, cements in group A and B (SELF-etch) provided stronger bonds to dentin compared to group C and D (SELF-adhesive), the difference being statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion: The use of SELF-etch resin cements results in higher shear bond strength to dentin compared to SELF-adhesive resin cements.

Purpose: The present research was conducted to explain creativity, based on SELF-management and creative SELF-efficacy by mediating of educational engagement in elementary school students with learning Difficult. Method: The research method was a descriptive-correlation method with a path analysis design in the form of structural equations. The statistics society was included of students in 4th to 6th grads with learning problems that were engaged to educate in primary schools of Arak city in the academic year of 1400-1401, which were selected 200 boys’ and girls’ students (100 each gender) with learning problems as the research sample by using the purposeful sampling method. Data gathering tools were include Colorado Questionnaire, Shaffer's creativity questionnaire, Karwowski creative SELF-efficacy, Houghton and Neck's SELF-management, and Wilborn's educational engagement, which were completed by teachers and parents of students with learning Difficult. The collected data were analyzed by using Pearson's correlation coefficients and path way analysis in SPSS and AMOS software. From structural equations modeling method was used to investigate the research model fitness.  Results: The findings showed that the research model have an agreeable fitness. Also acquired coefficients between variables parameters showed that meaningful direct effect of SELF-management dimensions and creative SELF-efficacy on educational engagement and creativity. In this means, by increasing the SELF -management and creative SELF-efficacy, there is a positive change in the degree of educational engagement and creativity in students with learning problems. So, the relationships between the variables of the model drawn in this research were confirmed.

Background & Aim: The aims of this study were to assess the impact of dentofacial relationships and sex on: SELF evaluation and SELF satisfaction in 12-15 years old students in Qazvin in 2003, and to determine the correlation between type of school and variables determining malocclusion with SELF evaluation and SELF satisfaction.Method &Materials: A cross - sectional study two stage - cluster sampling was carried out among 120 students (58 girls, 62 boys) aged 12 - 15 years who attended 4 guidance - schools (2 public, 2 private) in Qazvin in 2003. All samples were examined clinically and a questionnaire was used to assess their SELF evaluation and SELF satisfaction. Data were analyzed by the means on Chi - square and Fisher exact test.Results: Overjet, crowding and severe maxillary irregularity were significantly related to SELF evaluation. Overjet and severe mandibular irregularity were related to SELF satisfaction. No sex difference was found. Type of school was not a significant factor affecting SELF evaluation and SELF satisfaction. High level of SELF satisfaction has been found in the students. However, the majority of student had mid level of SELF evaluation.Conclusion: Overjet is the only variable significant in 12-15 year old students affecting both SELF evaluation and SELF satisfaction. Subjective esthetic measure should be incorporated to clinical esthetic criteria. Good communication between dentist and patient is important in analyzing and planning esthetic treatment according to individual needs and desires.

The conception of the SELF is underpin of the identity (personal and social).The understand of the identity is requirement understand of the SELF. One of the sources of the conception of the SELF is Confession of St.Augustine. Confession of St.Augustine is the first autobiography in the western history. It is personal narrative of St.Augustine by himSELF. The narrative is better of place for funded SELF. The article in the perspective literature-philosophy research of roots the conception of the SELF in the Confession of St.Augustine.

One of the subjects that have been proposed in rhetoric books for a long time is the subject of plagiarism.This issue, like other concerns; in literary criticism discussions has a special position. This subject matter and its types and instances should be analyzed and studied carefully. One of the most important branches of plagiarism is in the field of imagination and imagery of poetry. A great extent of the poetic images created by a poet has been exploited and repeated by another poet. Interestingly enough, poets who have created poetic texts and certain poetic images, have used their own creation themselves repeatedly in their other works, to the point that these images lose their originality and become cliché. Farokhi Sistani -4th and 5th century poet- is one of the poets whose poems are obvious cases of the issue of SELF-plagiarism. The purpose of the present paper is studying some instances of this case.

St Augustine’s Confessions is the first autobiography in western literature. It introduced first- person point of view to western thought. First- person point of view is an initiation to the concept of ‘SELF’. The City of God is the only work of St Augustine’s to episodically include his political philosophy, and therefore a good reference to understand his views on the subject. The present article is to examine the relation between ‘SELF’ and ‘political power’ in St Agustin’s thought, employing an intertextual approach. In doing so, we will start by discussing the process of formation of ‘SELF’ in his thought. Then will refer to the ontological and epistemological origins of political power in The City of God. At the end, it is shown that the sense of ‘SELF’ has an instrumental approach to ‘political power’.

Background and Aims: Micro leakage is a criterion proposed for assessing the success of any restorative material. Complete seal is difficult especially for dentin margins compared to enamel margins. The aim of this study was to assess the micro leakage at the enamel and dentin margins of class V cavities restored by two GIs and two SELF-etch adhesive systems.Materials and Methods: This study was done on forty third molars. Class V cavities (3´2´2mm) were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of teeth using high speed handpiece with 0.8 mm diamond fissure burr. The occlusal margins of the cavities in the enamel and gingival margins were placed 1 mm below the CEJ. The teeth were divided into 4 groups and the bondings were cured for 20 sec and the teeth were restored. The specimens were kept in distilled water at the temperature of 37°C for 24 hrs. The teeth were thermo cycled and cut in buccolingual direction using diamond disc under water. The dye penetration was evaluated using a stereomicroscope and the leakage was scored. The scores were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test while the paired comparisons were done using Bonferroni correction. P≤0.05 was regarded as significant results.Results: Micro leakage scores were similar at the occlusal and gingival walls of all test groups. At the gingival walls, the least micro leakage scores were observed. “Fuji IX + SE bond” group showed significant differences with the “Fuji IX + G bond” and “Nano glass + G bond” groups (P£0.05). At the occlusal walls, the least scores were observed in the “Fuji IX+SE bond” specimens which were significantly different from the other groups (P£0.05).Conclusion: SELF-Cure glass ionomers yielded less micro leakage scores compared to the different types of light-cures due to the less polymerization shrinkage.
