Structure and functions of this social unit have been evolving. However, social scientists believe the changes it has been facing during the recent years are different, because they go beyond structure and now the meaning of family is somehow changing.Many policymakers and scholars are seriously concerned about the way people see and preserve traditional views to this sacred institution. Others see this as a natural trend and believe that the world has been completely revolutionized and mankind is trying to build a new form of family, appropriate to the modern time in the new millennium. In this article we tried to articulate six important challenges of the unit of family. Then, we addressed responses of Iran’s society to them. To do that, we reviewed related documents and statistics as well as official definitions of the family in different countries. Iran has a relatively traditional, religious society and thus resistant to big changes in this area. But many questions have risen particularly for young people and proper responses must be provided. So, we need to negotiate via intergenerational dialogue. It appears that we are not well-prepared for these challenges. Keywords: Family Forms, Family Evolution, Emerging Family, Iranian Family [1].

Lasiochalcidia rubripes
No full textLasiochalcidia rubripes (Kieffer, 1899) Euchalcis rubripes KIEFFER, 1899: 369. Original description ♀. France, Corsica; Masi 1916: 56–57. ITALY, GIgLIO ISLAND. Lasiochalcidia rubripes (KIEFFER): MASI 1929A: 209; BOUčEk 1949: 144; STEFFAN 1951b: 76; BOUčEk 1956: 246; STEFFAN 1966: 405–406. Material examined. Type material. Not found in MNHN. Other material. IRAN: Fars, Larestan, Nime, loc. 6, 12.i.2112, (1 ♀) (in CIRAD: GDEL 359). Comment. The type of E. rubripes is apparently lost because it could not be traced in any of the European Museums visited by GD. Unfortunately, the original description is unreliable for discriminating the species. It was firstly synonymized with L. cincticornis (Walker) by Steffan (1951b). Later, Bouček (1956) and Steffan (1966) recognized the two names as belonging to two different species. However, it seemed for some time that L. rubripes might be a junior synonym of L. cincticornis (Walker) because the two species were described from Corsica. A specimen, housed in MNHN, from the same island and identified as such by Steffan, can be taken as a reference for this latter species, the type of L. cincticornis being also lost. A specimen identified by Masi as E. rubripes, morphologically different from L. cincticornis, and housed in MCSN, would have been taken as reference for E. rubripes but it was collected in the island of Giglio (Masi 1916). Quite recently another female, morphologically identical with that identified by Masi, and here collected in Corsica (at Galéria), was found in the Bouček collection (in NMP). Hence, two different species actually inhabit Corsica and Masi's interpretation of the species is correct. Bouček (1956) and Steffan (1966) used the relative length of the syntergum for separating the females of L. rubripes and L. cincticornis but this character proved to be unreliable. The relative length of the basal flagellomeres, which is longer in the first species, is a better character. Furthermore, examination of the Bouček collection housed in the Prague Museum, proved that this author wrongly associated the two sexes. Actually the male of L. rubripes, not that of L. cinticornis, has a ventral tooth on the scape. Distribution. From the specimens examined by GD, the species is widely distributed in the Mediterranean Basin including Morocco, Spain, southern France, Italy and Egypt. This is a new record for the Iranian fauna.

The pattern and risk factors associated with adverse drug reactions induced by Reteplase in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction: The first report from Iranian population
No full textObjective: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the main leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Reteplase is a fibrin-specific thrombolytic which is used in the treatment of AMI. There is a limited number of studies reporting the postmarketing adverse drug reactions (ADRs) induced by reteplase. This study was aimed to examine the reteplase pattern of ADR and its associated risk factors in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective study in an 8-month period was done at the University affiliated referral cardiovascular center. The Naranjo probability scale and World Health Organization criteria for severity of ADRs were used for assessing the ADRs. The linear regression and logistic regression tests were used to evaluate the correlation between ADRs and risk factors.
Findings: The all 20 patients who received reteplase during the study period were entered. The majority of patients (n = 17) experienced at least one ADR. The results showed that the incidence of ADRs was mainly associated with gender and age, and the number of ADRs was associated with the history of diabetes and taking anti-diabetic agents. The gender was the main predictor in the occurrence of ADRs (odds ratio: 32, 95% confidence interval: 1.38–737.45; P = 0.030).
Conclusion: The results showed that gender, age, diabetes mellitus, and using of anti-diabetes medications are the risk factors associated with the incidence of ADRs by reteplase
The Epidemiological Assessment of Lifestyle Impact on Childhood and Adolescence Psychiatric Disorders in Kohgiloyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, Iran
No full textBackground: Children and adolescents are potentially at risk of different psychiatric disorders, and it is important to consider their health, especially their mental health. Objectives: We aimed to design a cross-sectional study to investigate the association between lifestyle-related components with the psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents in Kohgiloyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province (Iran) and to determine its association with different lifestyle-related variables. Methods: In this study, about 1000 children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years in Kohgiloyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province were selected using stratified cluster random sampling. The reliable Persian version of Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) and the Life Style Questionnaire (LSQ) were instructed using interviewing with participants by our clinical psychologists or, if they were under 14 years, with their parents. Besides, demographic data (i.e., gender, age, location, race, nation, and religion) of participants were also collected. Results: The results showed that, except for the physical activity and well-being, other remaining factors have a significant correlation with psychiatric disorders (P < 0.05). The exact p-value for each factor was as follow: physical health (P = 0.007), sports and well-being (P = 0.057), weight control and nutrition (P = 0.001), prevention of diseases (P = 0.04), mental health-cognitive (P = 0.05), spiritual health (P = 0.008), social health (P = 0.05), drug avoidance (P = 0.001), accident prevention (P = 0.02), and environmental health (P = 0.001). Also, we found that the overall effect of lifestyle was significantly associated with children and adolescent mental disorders (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our findings show a significant role for lifestyle in the children and adolescents psychiatric disorders. So it should be considered in more detail in future studies. © 2020, Author(s)
Optical characterization, infrared emission and visible up-conversion in Er3+ doped tellurite glasses
No full textFUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESPIn this work, Er3 + doped tellurite glasses have been prepared with the composition (82.5-x) TeO2 + 4.5Bi2O3 + 11.5ZnO + 1.5Nb2O5 + x Er2O3 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 mol%) by melt-quenching method and their physical, spectroscopic properties were investigated. The experimental oscillator strengths (fexp) of individual absorption peaks are used to estimate the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters (Ωλ, λ = 2, 4, 6). Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters are used to calculate the spontaneous transition probabilities, radiative lifetimes and branching ratios for certain excited states of Er3 + ions. NIR emission and visible up-conversion luminescence were observed at room temperature for all glasses by exciting with 980 nm laser radiation. The emission characteristics such as peak stimulated emission cross section, FWHM, figure of merit, optical gain cross sections and measured lifetimes have been obtained for the observed Er3 +: 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition in the above glass composition for all the concentrations and are compared with that of the reported. Finally, NIR to visible energy conversion has been analyzed for all glasses excited at 980 nm and suitable mechanism was proposed. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.In this work, Er3 + doped tellurite glasses have been prepared with the composition (82.5-x) TeO2 + 4.5Bi2O3 + 11.5ZnO + 1.5Nb2O5 + x Er2O3 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0 mol%) by melt-quenching method and their physical, spectroscopic properties were investigated.

Structure and photoluminescence properties of PbO–Bi2O3–Ga2O3 glass-ceramics containing silver nanoparticles, free lead and bismuth ions
No full textWe report the synthesis, structural characterization, and optical properties of PbO–Bi2O3–Ga2O3 glass-ceramics (GCs) containing PbO and Bi2O3 crystallites, free lead (Pb2+) and bismuth (Bi3+) ions, and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). The samples were prepared by applying the melt-quenching method followed by suitable heat-treatment of the samples. Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray diffraction, linear optical absorption, and photoluminescence (PL) were the techniques applied to characterize the samples. When the samples were excited at 330 nm a large PL intensity, due to the Pb2+ and Bi3+, is observed. Moreover, large PL intensity enhancement of about 1000% for the samples containing Ag-NPs is observed in comparison with the PL intensity from the samples without Ag-NPs. This is the first time that this behavior is reported for a GCs based on heavy-metal oxides. The potential of this class of materials for photonic applications is discussed
