background and objectives: nowadays, the use of educational models to determine the causes of rejection of health-related behaviors has been on theincrease. health belief model is one of the models during the past years has been considered. therefore, the aim of this study was to measure health belief model constructs in preventive behavior about self-medication in pregnant women in the city of...

In order to investigate concentrations, variability, sources, and human health risk of trace elements, 38 atmospheric dust samples were collected around Arak industrial area. The average concentrations Cd~Zn, As, Pb 3.3, 2.5, 2.4 times higher than the corresponding geochemical background, respectively, while Co, Cu, Ni, Hg lower. Based on geo-accumulation index (Igeo), elements classified betwe...

Due to fact that piriformis muscle located near nerve, spasm put nerve cause sciatica consequently syndrome. The present study aims investigate effect core stability exercises pain inflammation patients with Methods & Materials This a randomized clinical trial...

The full spectrum of severity COVID-19 is still unknown.In this study which first report from Iran, we showed that olfactory dysfunction a frequent clinicalmanifestation among patients.Methods: All patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection were admitted to Arak hosp...

The Arak process is a solvable stochastic process which generates coloured patterns in the plane. Patterns are made up of a variable number of random nonintersecting polygons. We show that the distribution of Arak process states is the Gibbs distribution of its states in thermodynamic equilibrium in the grand canonical ensemble. The sequence of Gibbs distributions form a new model parameterised...

We establish a version of the Dobrushin-Kotecký-Schlosman phase separation theorem for the length-interacting Arak-Surgailis polygonal Markov fields with V-shaped nodes.
