Abstract	The recent outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), ahighly transmissible virus with a likely animal origin, has posed major and unprecedentedchallenges to millions of lives across the affected nations of the world. This outbreak firstoccurred in China, and despite massive regional and global attempts shortly thereafter, itspread to other countries and caused millions of deaths worldwide. This review presents keyinformation about the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 and its associated disease (namely,coronavirus disease 2019) and briefly discusses the origin of the virus. Herein, we also brieflysummarize the strategies used against viral spread and transmission.

Abstract	Ebola virus disease (EVD), which is also referred to as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a highly contagious and frequently lethal sickness caused by the Ebola virus. In 1976, the disease emerged in two simultaneous outbreaks in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Subsequently, it has caused intermittent outbreaks in several African nations. The virus is primarily spread via direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected individual or animal. EVD is distinguished by symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and hemorrhage. The outbreak of EVD in West Africa in 2014-2016 emphasized the need for effective control and prevention measures. Despite advancements and the identification of new treatments for EVD, the primary approach to treatment continues to be centered around providing supportive care. Early detection and supportive care can enhance the likelihood of survival. This includes intravenous fluids, electrolyte replacement, and treatment of secondary infections. Experimental therapies, for instance, monoclonal antibodies and antiviral drugs, have shown promising results in animal studies and some clinical trials. Some African countries have implemented the use of vaccines developed for EVD, but their effectiveness and long-term safety are still being studied. This article provides an overview of the history, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and Ebola coinfection, as well as highlights the ongoing research efforts to develop effective treatments and vaccines to combat this deadly virus.

Abstract	Wastewater treatment, if done at a high efficiency and a low price, can be widely used as a strategy to deal with water shortage to a great extent. Advanced oxidation process is one of the best methods of removing colour contaminants from water, and the photocatalytic process, which functions based on semiconductors, is known as an advanced oxidation method. In this research, Ag₃PO₄/CdS/CNT (Ag/Cd/CN) photocatalyst was prepared using a simple precipitation method with different ratios and Ag/Cd/CN (3:1:15 wt%) nanocomposite showed the best result, so it was finally used to remove methyl orange from water in visible light irradiation. The prepared photocatalyst was detected by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy analyses. In addition, the morphology of the prepared photocatalyst was investigated and it determined that cadmium sulphide and silver phosphate particles were spread evenly on carbon nanotubes. According to the results of diffuse reflectance spectra analysis, the band gap of the optimum photocatalyst declined from 2.38 eV to 1.97 eV, in comparison with silver phosphate, and the decrease in photoluminescence resulted in the nanocomposite particles being coupled successfully. The distribution of the particles' sizes was analysed by DLS. Furthermore, BET determined mesopores in the prepared nanocomposite. This experiment was designed by Design Expert 7, where the pH parameters, photocatalyst amount, and time were all optimized. As a result, 0.4 g/L of the photocatalyst, prepared in pH = 2.5 and in 60 min, managed to degrade methyl orange (MO) by 98%. The best result was obtained at 45 °C. The prepared photocatalyst showed high stability in dye removal after being used for five cycles. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Abstract	Background: Obesity is one of the major public health concerns, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the effect of human development index on the prevalence of obesity across 152 countries. Methods: Country-level data on obesity prevalence and its influencing variables related to 152 countries were obtained during 2000-2019 from several sources. A Spatial Bayesian Hierarchical model was employed in this research, and the analyses were performed using R statistical software (version 3.6.1). Results: We found a positive relation between HDI and obesity prevalence, in such a way if low HDI countries advance to high HDI countries, the obesity rate is expected to increase significantly by 7.45%. Moreover, the association between obesity prevalence and the percentage of people aged 40-59 (β=0.07), urbanization rate (β=0.11), percentage of internet users (β=0.01), percentage of alcohol users (β=0.16), milk consumption per capita (β=0.15) and Percentage of depression (β=0.58) was significantly positive. Conversely, per capita consumption of fruits and vegetables (β=-0.15), and smoking rate (β=-0.02) was negatively associated with obesity prevalence. Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity is growing across all countries, especially in the countries with high and very high HDI. Therefore, policymakers must also pay attention to the negative effects of development when trying to improve the welfare of society.

Abstract	Abstract In this paper, a new configuration of a solar combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system is proposed to recover the waste thermal energy of a steam power plant, which provides the cooling and heating needs of an apartment complex located in Tehran. The required energy of the system is supplied by the parabolic trough solar collectors (PTCs) and, if necessary, an auxiliary heater is also used. An ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC) and a steam Rankine cycle are used for cooling and power generation, respectively. The cycle is dynamically modeled over a year using a TRNSYS‐EES co‐simulator. It is found that the highest Rankine cycle efficiency is obtained in the cold months (January) because of the decrease of turbine backpressure. With increasing the turbine inlet temperature from 190 to 210°C, the Rankine cycle and the overall cycle efficiencies increased about 1% and 2%, respectively. The maximum cooling, heating, and power generation, as well as the maximum solar fraction, are obtained at the turbine inlet temperatures of 210°C, which are 185.46, 598.65, 680.49 kW, and 70%, respectively. The annual overall performance and the solar fraction of the proposed CCHP system are 32.5% and 9.5%, respectively, based on 3000 m2 collector aperture area. The exergy analysis indicated that the maximum annual exergy destruction is related to the solar collectors, which have comprised 27% of the total exergy destruction. In addition, the yearly exergy efficiency of the proposed system is 39.9%.

Abstract	Background: The art of music and architecture are one of the most visible manifestations of culture and ethnicity in every historical period, and music has historically played a valuable role in softening human perception and spirits; thus, can play a decisive role in health life for a long time. Methods: Non-pharmacological therapies, have the potential to supplement medical treatment alternatives to aid recovery and well-being in health care. Music therapy is a relatively new discipline of musicology that has lately been able to assist individuals in the treatment of ailments that are inextricably linked to architecture. Is it possible for music and architecture, which have an unbreakable link with the past, to retain this bond and build a relationship of abuse and violation with the science of psychology and counselling? Results: This essay was written in a combined-analytical (comparative, descriptive, and analytical) style, using data collected via documentary, library, and field research approaches. The findings of this study reveal that music and architecture may have a similar effect on the human psyche, and the science of music therapy has been able to capitalize on these similarities in medicine. Conclusion: The current article first introduces the commonalities of music and architecture and expresses the importance of these two arts' commonalities, after which it will be addressed how these commonalities in an ancient ritual called Chamri, which is held in Ilam province.

Abstract	Introduction: β Methods: 5425 microcytic and hypochromic individuals were investigated from Mazandaran and Golestan provinces. From these, 1323 beta carrier or affected individuals were selected where 938 persons were from Mazandaran and 385 people were from Golestan province, respectively. Result: 53 different mutations were identified, IVSII-1 (G>A) was the most common (59.14%) followed by Cd 22/23/24 (-7 bp) (5.34%), Cd 8 (-AA) (4.93%), Cd30 (G>A) (4.00%), and IVSI-5 (G>C) (3.70%) with a total of 77.11% in Mazandaran Province, respectively. In Golestan Province, IVSI-5 (G>C) was the most frequent (44.62%) followed by IVSII-1 (G>A) (27.18%), Cd 15 (TGG>TAG) (4.36%), Fr 8/9(+G) (3.85%), and Cd 8(-AA) (2.05%) with a total of 82.06%, respectively. From the 53 different mutations, 22 numbers have been observed in both provinces. Two deletions of the beta gene named Sicilian and Asian-Indian have been detected in Mazandaran with a frequency of 0.72% each. Conclusion: The 53 different mutations identified in this study were the most ever reported mutations in the country. Due to diversity of different ethnic groups, there are many varieties of mutation in beta globin gene in Iran. It could be assumed that both founder effect and natural selection caused by migration from neighboring areas have complemented each other to produce the high frequency of unique alleles within each region.
