Abstract	Due to the increasing demand for water, energy, and food in the coming decades, the pressure on these three sectors has increased. The importance of a systemic approach to water-energy-food interconnection issues has become more apparent. In this regard, the main purpose of this study is to present a conceptual model of water-food-energy interconnection using a dynamic system for Iran and analyze the factors affecting this relationship. For this purpose, first, each of the sub-sectors of water, food, and energy has been modeled. Finally, integrated conceptual modeling has been done regarding the relationship of each of the mentioned sub-sectors. As an application of the interconnection mentioned above, the economic productivity index of water-energy-food for 2005–2018 has been calculated. The trend of this index in the research results has had ups and downs and since 2011 has gone through an upward and gentle trend; However, it has never reached the index level in 2006. With a systematic-analytic view, to reduce the risk of energy-water-food security, these three parts should be examined in regular operation and coordination with each other. The research findings show the need to pay attention to this link in policymaking and regulation in Iran.

Abstract	The Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak hit the global economy like a tsunami. Every aspect of human society, including the energy industry and market, is affected by this pandemic. The pandemic has affected prices, demand, supply, investment, and several other aspects of the energy sector, including the oil and gas industry. This article is aimed to analyze the impacts of COVID-19 on the oil and gas industry and give a perspective of the post-COVID-19 oil and gas market. Results of this article show that COVID-19 impacts the oil and gas industry. The short-term impact is nearly 25% decrease in petroleum consumption, slowly recovering to its former amount and even growing more. The long-term impacts are the 30% to 40% decrease in the CAPEX and R&D investments over the oil and gas market, which is a regional scale in the United States, caused oil exploitation projects to decrease from more than 800 in 2019 to 265 in 2021. And it is predicted to reduce the competitiveness of oil and gas vs other energy carriers such as ever price-decreasing renewable energies. Thus, the oil and gas industry has to change rapidly before losing a substantial energy market share. Finally, this article discusses acknowledging oil and gas trade as a part of World trade organization (WTO/ECT) regulations. And considering it a general energy commodity. An act that reduces the freedom of action of oil-exporting governments and great oil cartels and protects their interests in a globalizing competitive energy market.

Abstract	In this article, the existing international laws in the field of transboundary waters, as well as water treaties and the approaches used to resolve disputes, have been reviewed and analyzed by using international documents and information. As international convention’s provisions, every state in the common river basin has the right to have fair and reasonable exploitation of the water flow of the transboundary watershed in its territory, with the obligation not to cause damage to other countries. This right is determined by considering the natural factors of the watershed, existing and potential uses, social and economic needs of the countries of the basin, and the effects of exploitation on other countries. But the factors presented for this purpose are general and have different technical and legal interpretations.

Abstract	Since the rise of the Covid-19 pandemic, several researchers stated the possibility of a positive relationship between Covid-19 spread and climatic parameters. An ecological study in 12 Iranian cities using the report of daily deaths from Covid-19 (March to August 2020) and validated data on air pollutants, considering average concentrations in each city in the last year used to analyze the association between chronic exposure to air pollutants and the death rate from Covid-19 in Iran. Poisson regression models were used, with generalized additive models and adjustment variables. A significant increase of 2.7% (IC(95%) 2.6–4.4) was found in the mortality rate due to Covid-19 due to an increase of 1 μg/m³ of NO₂. The results suggest an association between Covid-19 mortality and NO₂ exposure. As a risk approximation associated with air pollution, more precise analysis is done. The results also show a good consistency with studies from other regions; this paper's results can be useful for the public health policymakers and decision-making to control the Covid-19 spread.

Abstract	Given the greenhouse gas emissions and future biofuels control, it is encouraged to look for alternatives to raw materials and green granular processes in the crop to produce these biodegradable chemicals. In addition, bio-oil or disinfectant crop oil for the production of second-generation biofuels, bio-oil can be processed in various refining units and may also result in green diesel production, which is not only an opportunity but also an opportunity. It's a challenge for the oil industry. Green Oil or Diesel Green can be produced by renewable diesel processing with petroleum oil in the current hydroprocessing unit. Hoping to discover the mechanism and optimization of processing technology by adding quantities of oils and animal fats to the traditional oil refining process, much research and work has been done on the processing process and simultaneous processing processes. Green Oil This is a literature review of green oil production using hydroprocessing and concurrent processing.

Abstract	In the global economy, crude oil is the most strategic commodity, which plays an important role in determining many regional and international equations. The oil market is the most complex, turbulent, and opaque international financial market. The conditions of these financial markets are well matched to the gray analysis environment. Therefore, the researchers of the present study have proposed the gray prediction model. The results show that using the gray prediction model causes the performance to be significantly improved. The main aim of this paper is to find a model to provide clear projections for the future of oil prices.

Abstract	According to aptamer-mediated hairpin DNA cascade amplifier and gold nanoparticles aggregation, an optical platform for cancer cells determination has been proposed. High-affinity chimeric aptamers were used for cancer cell detection and also as an initiator for beginning hairpin assembly to construct three-way junction (3WJ) nanostructures. These three hairpins were modified at 3' ends with biotin. In the presence of target cell, chimeric aptamer binds to its ligand on cell surface and initiates 3WJ nanostructures formation. These 3WJ nanostructures interact with streptavidin-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via non-covalent biotin-streptavidin interactions and create a crossover lattice of nanoparticles. This event leads to AuNPs aggregation and red-shifting. The results were confirmed by gel electrophoresis and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The dynamic range of this assay is 25 to 10

Abstract	Background: There is a dearth of robust evidence regarding the correlation between psoriasis with maternal and neonatal outcomes, making it challenging to establish definitive recommendations for the management of these patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to review the evidence with regard to the impact of maternal psoriasis on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods: Following the PRISMA guideline, a systematic search of English articles using PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library was conducted. The search was performed from inception to 22 Result: A significant association was observed between psoriasis and maternal outcomes, including cesarean delivery [OR = 1.25 (95% CI: 1.13-1.30, p-value = 0.001)], (pre)eclampsia [OR = 1.29 (95% CI: 1.15-1.44, p-value = 0.0001)], gestational diabetes [Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.23 (95% Confidence Intervals (CI): 1.15-1.30, p-value = 0.001)], gestational hypertension [OR = 1.31 (95% CI: 1.18-1.45, p-value = 0.001)] and preterm birth [OR = 1.22 (95% CI: 1.10-1.35, p-value = 0.001)]. Also, there was a significant association between psoriasis and neonatal outcomes, including small for gestational age [OR = 1.07 (95% CI: 1.02-1.11, p-value = 0.053)], low birth weight [OR = 1.19 (95% CI: 1.02-1.38, p-value = 0.001)] and stillbirth [OR = 1.27 (95% CI: 1.04-1.55, p-value = 0.023)]. Conclusion: Maternal psoriasis could negatively impact maternal and neonatal outcomes. Our results strengthen the importance of close monitoring of the mothers' psoriasis status before and during pregnancy.

Abstract	Despite all the scientific and technological developments in the past one hundred years, biologic issues such as pandemics are a constant threat to society. While one of the aspects of a pandemic is the loss of human life, the outbreak has multi-dimensional impacts across regional and global societies. In this paper, a comparative regressive and neural network model is developed to analyze the impacts of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on the electricity and petroleum demand in China. The environmental analysis shows that the epidemic severeness significantly affects the electricity and the petroleum demand, both directly and indirectly. The outputs of the model stated that the elasticity of petroleum and electricity demand toward the population of the infected people is -0.1% and -0.65%, respectively. The mentioned results show that pandemic status has a significant impact on energy demand, and also its impacts can be tracked into every corner of human society.
