Background and objectives: Diarrhea with an acute onset and lasting at least for 14 days is termed as persistent diarrhea. It is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in diarrheal diseases .The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence and underlying risk factors associated with persistent diarrhea.Materials and methods: During a 7- year retrospective study, 150 medical files of patients with persistent diarrhea were reviewed.Results: On an average, 10% of all patients admitted with diarrhea had persistent diarrhea. There was, however, a rate decline from 11% to 7.5% during the six years from 1993 till 1999. The highest incidence of persistent diarrhea in infants younger than 6 months was among those who feeded with cow milk or formula diet (50%), and in infants elder than 6 months it was among those who had received low protein calori and were not on breast feeding (40%) .Almost all patients with persistent diarrhea had some degree of malnutrition and all of them had received different kinds of antibiotics along with anti diarrheal drugs.Conclusion: This study showed that breast feeding as well as improvement of nutrition during diarrhea are the most effective factors involved in reducing the rate of persistent diarrhea.

Background: Suicidal behavior is one the most significant mental health problems in the military. Militaries are closed systems that operate in particular situations. Military service is associated with certain stressful conditions. On this basis, there is likely of trauma in the military environment. Measures of suicidal behavior are pathologically complex. A range of biological, psychological, social, and institutional factors are involved in the incidence and prevalence of these behaviors.Objectives: One of the underlying factors in suicidal behavior is individuals' personality.Patients and Methods: The study population comprised of the Iranian Armed Forces. To recruit the sample of the research, 1659 soldiers were selected by multistage sampling. Data were collected using the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSSI) and NEO-Five Factor Inventory.Results: There was a significant positive correlation (r=0.323) between neuroticism and suicide ideation, however, significant negative correlations existed between three other personality traits --extraversion [r=-0.306], agreeableness [r=-0.227], and conscientiousness [r=-0.271] and suicidal ideation. Unlike neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness personality factors could reduce significantly (as much 14% as are predicted) levels of suicidal ideation.Conclusions: Based on these results, neuroticism might increase suicide, but extraversion and conscientiousness personality traits are associated with a reduced risk of suicide.

This paper holds this conviction that some failures of innovation policy can be attributed to the political context hosting that innovation system. Accordingly, to understand the root causes of these failures, researchers have to step out of the innovation system approaches and study the political system structure and evaluate the policies based on this study. The paper, then, build an eclectic model by bridging between the stakeholder model of public policy evaluation and the three archetypes of political system structure. The paper argues that the new and eclectic model can be applied to evaluate the general public policies by its process, content and the political according to MCconnel’ s theory. However, this model has some shortcomings because it is not backed by innovation theories. That is why, in the second phase, another and more developed model; the eclectic – functional model was built based on the components of innovation system, especially the function 4, the guidance of the research. It shows how the imbalance of political system structure, among the civil society and market and the State reflects on the dynamism of interactions among the structure and functional components of an innovation system and gridlocks the related innovation policies. The paper concludes with a case study on biofuel policy failure in Iran.

Extramarital affairs are one of the main harmful factors in the structure and stability of the family as they have harmful individual, family, and social consequences. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the formation of extramarital relationships. The research method used is Q, and the data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical sample using purposive sampling method includes 40 experts and activists in the field of social harms (extramarital affairs). The results of the study lead to the extraction of four main factors of marital infidelity: sociocultural (the effect of virtual social networks, reduced attitudes towards moral values, inappropriate marriage, etc. ), psychological (experience of premarital sex, suffering from mental, mood, and personality disorders, poor communication and life skills training, etc. ), economic (family financial and livelihood problems, earning and materialism, male unemployment), and family (revenge on the spouse, lack of adherence to marital obligations, monotony in marital relations, etc. ). Lack of understanding, comprehension, and interpretation of the deep layers of this complex and multidimensional problem and ways to reduce it will lead to further disintegration of the family institution.

Sampling was conducted purposefully using snowball method and 22 deep and qualitative interviews were conducted. Data analysis based on the data theory of the foundation, after encoding in three stages of open, pivotal and selective, illustrates 30 effective indications for the virtual university education model in Iran. These labels are identified in seven concepts that include: communication, trust building, knowledge localization, insight, human resource commitment, culture, technology, and leveling that can be used to design and develop virtual education centers as well as implement programs It will be effective.

Iranian current consumption pattern is far away from the optimal pattern from the point of view of Islamic values. Considering the problems, this study was conducted to identify the underlying cultural factors of Islamic-Iranian lifestyle. Taking a qualitative method and thematic analysis, and conducting semi-structured interview, the study used the ideas of 17 experts of management and planning of cultural affairs and communication sciences (mainly) from Isfahan province. Purposeful sampling and snowball method were used simultaneously to have a desired sample. Theoretical saturation criterion was the decision-making criterion for determining the number of participants. The results determined eight main themes as the most cultural factors affecting Islamic-Iranian lifestyle: 1) cultural assets, 2) interactive factors, 3) family-based examples, 4) religion-based examples, 5) environmental factors, 6) individual factors, 7) cultural examples, and 8) socio-ethical examples. Each of the main themes has some sub-themes. Iranian lifestyle in so many cases is affected by non-Islamic customs and traditions, therefore it seems necessary that policymakers and cultural planners focus on Islamic lifestyle, especially on the issues related to children.
