    Abstract: This study investigates the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on chilling injuries of persimmon cv. Karaj during 120-day cold storage (at 0—1 °C). The results show that postharvest treatment of MeJA with variant concentrations (equaling to 8, 16, and 24 ...

    Abstract This study investigates the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on chilling injuries of persimmon cv. Karaj during 120-day cold storage (at 0—1 °C). The results show that postharvest treatment of MeJA with variant concentrations (equaling to 8, 16, and 24 µL L ⁻ ¹) significantly decreases chilling injuries of the persimmon. Moreover, the MeJA application preserves persimmon's physico-chemical characteristics and contributes to maintaining its marketable features while reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) content as well as the electrolyte leakage level. Further, it maintains total phenolic compounds and increases antioxidant capacity. The above-mentioned achievements can be associated with the protection of fruit´s membrane integrity and alteration in antioxidant enzymes’ activities. In conclusion, MeJA application specifically using 16 and 24 µL L ⁻ ¹ concentration can protect the quality of the persimmon fruit during long-term storage.

    Abstract Background: Fathers need education to understand their role in infant care and its implications regarding the child's health. Virtual education has been able to compensate for the shortcomings of traditional training and education, and with respect to this, the present study was conducted to determine the effect of virtual education on fathers about infant care and their involvement in infant care.
    Materials and methods: The quasi-experimental study was performed on 83 participants in healthcare centers affiliated with North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences. The involvement of fathers in infant care was assessed with a questionnaire of the father's involvement in the care of the infant (mother-reported) in 4-time points: 3-5 days, and 2, 4, and 6 months after birth. Educational materials based on the child's growth and needs and as well as the latest references and national guidelines were prepared, and as the infant grew, were taught step by step to fathers using Soroush's messenger while their questions were answered.
    Results: The mean score of total father involvement in infant care at two, four, and six months after childbirth was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: With regard to the lack of access to fathers during their working hours, virtual education can be used to increase their involvement in infant care.

    Abstract Oligochaetes are the most abundant benthic taxa in aquatic ecosystems that play an important role in food webs. The present study aims to assess the diversity and origin of Eiseniella tetraedra as a non-native species in the Lar National Park of Iran and also its response to current and future climate change. We obtained the specimen from rivers and sequenced the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (COI) and combined them with 117 sequences from the Jajroud and Karaj rivers in Iran and native regions from GenBank (NCBI). We also ran Species Distribution Modelings (SDMs) using an ensemble model approach that was estimated according to two shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs): 126 and 585 of the MRI-ESM2 based on CMIP6. According to the results, all the samples examined in the current study originated from Spanish rivers, and no unique haplotype was found in the Lar National Park. Moreover, the results also show high haplotype diversity that can positively affect the success of this non-native species in different freshwater. Also, the results of SDMs depict that climate change would remarkably affect the distribution of E. tetraedra and it verifies the invasion power of E. tetraedra in Iran's freshwater ecosystems over time.

    Abstract There are conflicting reports on the effect of serum vitamin D (VD) levels on the development of suicidal behavior. VD deficiency is prevalent in Ilam province, and this region has the highest suicide mortality rate in Iran. The present study aimed to evaluate a possible association between serum VD levels and the risk of suicide among the inhabitants of Ilam province. A total of 157 suicide attempters (case group) and 314 age- and sex-matched individuals (control group) without a history of suicide attempts were recruited into the study. Suicide attempters were admitted to the Emergency Department of Ilam Shahid Mostafa Khomeini Hospital (Ilam, Iran) between March 2018 and March 2019. The individuals in the control group were randomly selected from those referred to various medical laboratories in Ilam during the same period. The participants in both groups were aged 18-35 years, and none had a history of kidney, liver, or endocrine diseases. Serum VD levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Categorical and continuous variables were compared using the Chi square test and independent samples

    Abstract In the present study, the S-alleles of eighteen pear cultivars, (including fourteen cultivars planted commercially in Iran and four controls) are determined. 34 out of 36 S-alleles are detected using nine allele-specific primers, which are designed for amplification of S₁₀₁/S₁₀₂, S₁₀₅, S₁₀₆, S₁₀₇, S₁₀₈, S₁₀₉, S₁₁₁, S₁₁₂ and S₁₁₄, as well as consensus primers, PycomC1F and PycomC5R. S₁₀₄, S₁₀₁ and S₁₀₅ were the most common S-alleles observed, respectively, in eight, seven and six cultivars. In 16 cultivars, (‘Bartlett’ (S₁₀₁S₁₀₂), ‘Beurre Giffard’ (S₁₀₁S₁₀₆), ‘Comice’ (S₁₀₄S₁₀₅), ‘Doshes’ (S₁₀₄S₁₀₇), ‘Koshia’ (S₁₀₄S₁₀₈), ‘Paskolmar’ (S₁₀₁S₁₀₅), ‘Felestini’ (S₁₀₁S₁₀₇), ‘Domkaj’ (S₁₀₄S₁₂₀), ‘Ghousi’ (S₁₀₄S₁₀₇), ‘Kaftar Bache’ (S₁₀₄S₁₂₀), ‘Konjoni’ (S₁₀₄S₁₀₈), ‘Laleh’ (S₁₀₅S₁₀₈), ‘Natanzi’ (S₁₀₄S₁₀₅), ‘Sebri’ (S₁₀₁S₁₀₄), ‘Se Fasleh’ (S₁₀₁S₁₀₅) and ‘Louise Bonne’ (S₁₀₁S₁₀₈)) both alleles are identified but in two cultivars, (‘Pighambari’ (S₁₀₅) and ‘Shah Miveh Esfahan’ (S₁₀₇)) only one allele is recognized. It is concluded that allele-specific PCR amplification can be considered as an efficient and rapid method to identify S-genotype of Iranian pear cultivars.

    Abstract Drought is increasingly frequent in the context of climate change and is considered a major constraint for crop yield. Water scarcity can impair growth, disturb plant water relations and reduce water use efficiency. Pea (Pisum sativum) is a temperate grain legume rich in protein, fibre, micronutrients and bioactive compounds that can benefit human health. In reducing pea yield because of drought, the intensity and duration of stress are critical. This review describes several drought resistance mechanisms in pea based on morphology, physiology and biochemical changes during/after the water deficit period. Drought tolerance of pea can be managed by adopting strategies such as screening, breeding and marker‐assisted selection. Therefore, various biotechnological approaches have led to the development of drought‐tolerant pea cultivars. Finally, the main objective of the current research is to point out some useful traits for drought tolerance in peas and also, mention the methods that can be useful for future studies and breeding programmes.

    Abstract Introduction: Considering the anticoagulant actions of vitamin D, we hypothesize that vitamin D status might affect the required dose of warfarin for maintaining the therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR).
    Methods: In a retrospective single-center cohort study, serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were assessed for 89 subjects receiving a stable dose of warfarin for 3 months or longer and had a stable INR between 2 and 3.5 for at least three consecutive visits. A warfarin sensitivity index (WSI), defined as the steady-state INR divided by the mean daily warfarin dose, was used for measuring the warfarin dose response. The relation between the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and WSI value and the difference in the mean WSI value between the subjects with different vitamin D status categories (sufficient, insufficient, and deficient) were assessed.
    Results: Twenty-one subjects had vitamin D deficiency, 43 had vitamin D insufficiency, and only 25 had normal levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Based on the multiple linear regression analysis, there was a significant but weakly positive correlation between WSI and 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum levels, as the value of WSI increases by almost 0.0027434 for every unit increase in 25-hydroxyvitamin D serum level (p value = 0.041). Using one-way ANOVA analysis, there was a trend in a significant difference between the groups with different vitamin D status categories regarding the mean WSI value (F = 2.95, p value = 0.057), as subjects with sufficient vitamin D state compared to those with vitamin D deficiency had a higher WSI value.
    Conclusions: Although the study's limitations limit our ability to draw definite conclusions, the present data suggest that in addition to other traditional factors, vitamin D status might also affect warfarin sensitivity and maintenance dose requirement. However, to more clearly explain this link, further studies with high involvement subjects are required.

    Abstract Background: Nursing students should be equipped with ethical sensitivity and professional behaviour because they will face challenging ethical issues in their future work environment. This study aimed to determine the relationship between moral sensitivity and professional behaviour and compare it in first- and last-year undergraduate nursing students.
    Methods: This study was a cross-sectional, correlational study that was conducted at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2019. The sample size of this study was 238 nursing students. The tools used in this study were the Persian versions of the moral sensitivity questionnaire and the professional behaviour questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18 software.
    Results: Linear regression showed that the total score of moral sensitivity of nursing students had a significant relationship with their professional behaviour (
    Conclusion: Considering the relationship between moral sensitivity and the professional behaviour of nursing students, the promotion of moral sensitivity can become the basis for the development of the professional behaviour of nursing students. Therefore, it is suggested to focus on teaching the principles of nursing ethics to develop the moral sensitivity of undergraduate nursing students.
