ABSTRACT: Introduction & Objective: Self-inflicted burn is a violent method of suicide. Since our society faces lots of psychological, social, personal and economical problems due to self-inflicted burn, more survey for this event can assist us to know its causes and prevent from its occurrence. This research was carried out to compare general health, self- esteem and social support in patient's self-inflicted burn and non-self-inflicted burn of the Choromy accidental and burning hospital in Ganaveh. Materials & Methods: This is a descriptive – analytic study. The sample consisted of 60 inpatients burnt (males & females) of the Choromy accidental and burning hospital (Ganaveh). The method of sampling was simple random. Participants completed the General Health Questionnaire (G.H.Q- 28) of Goldberg, Cooper Smith’s questionnaire of self–esteem and Philip’s social support scale. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and T-test were the major statistical analysis in this research. Results: The mean and standard deviation of the general health were 44.57 ± 14.65 for self-inflicted burn persons and for non - self inflicted burn they were 10.83 ± 6.27. In the self–esteem variable, the mean and the standard deviation were 57.90 ± 4.94 for self-inflicted burn persons and 55.47 ± 6.04 for non-self inflicted burn ones. Mean and standard deviation of whole social supporting were 20.40 ± 4.94 for self-inflicted burn persons and 23.73 ± 1.17 for non-self inflicted burn group. The findings showed significant differences between the two groups from viewpoint of general health and social supporting while there were no significant differences between two groups in case of self–esteem. Conclusion: There are a significant relationship between general health, social supporting and self-inflicted burn.Therefore, in order to prevent self inflicted burn it is suggested that we make a relationship between persons and societies, families, groups and different institutes.

Background & Aim: consequences resulting in the increase of the divorce rate in the Iranian

society, which surrounded all individuals, families and society, has prepared the background of the

present study. The main purpose of the present study was demonstrating a paradigm model of

the role of sexual disorder in forming the divorce process among men in Iran.

Method: The present study was conducted by applying a qualitative method using the grounded

theory approach in Gachsaran, Iran, in 2014. The participants of the study were 15 divorced men

who were selected using purposeful sampling. Data were gathered using depth interview, and were

analyzed with coding paradigm.

Results: according to the coding paradigm, men's sexual dysfunctional as a causal condition,

physical disease, mind stress, and age difference between couples as a contextual condition,

culture of drug abuse for satisfaction of sexual relation, and infidelity as an interventional condition,

caused disorder in their sexual relationship. These men and their wives applied various strategies,

such as drug abuse, disconnected sexual relation with each other, and latent violence in order to

counteract this phenomenon.

Conclusion: The narrative of participants of the present study revealed that disorder in their sexual

relation led to other social problems, such as drug abuse, domestic violence, and infidelity in their

families. Moreover, these problems led to other disorders in their sexual relationship with their

wives, which eventually ended to emotional, sexual and legal divorce.

Background & aim: The Increasing phenomenon of post-marital relationship in the society has had adverse consequences. One of the consequences, is the instability of family foundations and the disintegration of social cells (families). The aim of this study was to determine the formation process of meta-marital relationship from mens viewpoint.

Methods: The methodology of this study was grounded theory method. 16 men with purposive sampling method were selected as participants in Gachsaran city, Iran. The data was obtained through semi-structured interviews and was analyzed due to the three stages of "open, axial and selective" coding.

Results: Findings of the study were categorized in three major categories: the emotional disproportionate relationship-sexual between men and women's, and, socio-cultural structure predisposing of men and women's sexual dissatisfaction and incorrect criteria for choosing a spouse and one core category named extramarital relationship, hiding object was created.

Conclusion: Men Narrative participants indicated that due to spouse selection of "being unemployed, elder girl age, girl escape from his parental house, the divorced couple, and of man being widowed”, were are indications thay they were forced to be married. Also, due to “employed women and pressing sexual desire “was the tool selection. In most of these marriages, men and women had a great age difference, and initially there was no love among them. The prevailing of cold atmospherel and indifference in the marital relations caused led to the fact that they could not meet the emotional needs of each other. Moreover, the culture of modesty dominant over most of the Iranian families has banned the talk of sex and its quality not only in public environments such as schools, universities, radio and television, but also in the family and even between men and women as a "taboo", and these couples can not talk about the quality of their sex life with eachother. At this situation, the women with post-marital relationship have expressed their objections by hidden relationships.

Background & aim:  Flies are important in the region in terms of mechanical transmission of pathogens, sciatica and forensic entomological research. Identification of species in different regions is the first and most important way to control vector-borne diseases in the region. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the diversity of species and relative abundance of flies of medical importance in Golestan province during 2018-2019.
 
Methods: In the present descriptive study, the samples included medically important flies, which were sampled in both urban and rural areas, including eight stations in Ramyan city in 2018. Trapping was done monthly, on sunny days and on the hottest day of the month. Entomological nets and cone traps were used to catch adult flies. Species identification was performed based on valid keys. The collected data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel software.
 
Results: In the present study, 10 species of Musca domestica (housefly) (53.75), Muscina stabulans (7.26), Lucilia ceasar (14.39), Lucilia sericata (7.91), Calliphora  vicina (8.95), Sarcophaga africa (1.55), Sarcophaga aegyptica (0.51), Calliphora vomitoria (3.48), Sarcophaga argyrostoma (0.75), Muscina levida (0.18) in three family including Muscovidae, Sarcophagidae and Acrostida were captured. The most abundance of flies were observed in garbage collection sites and animal places. Musina levida species was reported for the first time from northern Iran in this study. Based on the results of temperature and humidity fluctuations, it was established that the higher temperature and decreasing humidity, the more abundance of flies’ population were obsereved.
 
Conclusion: Due to the high abundance of flies in waste collection sites and animal sites, rapid transfer of non-residential areas and their sanitary burial is necessary to reduce the population of flies. It is necessary to move animals out of residential areas and provide health advice to people and health centers on diseases transmitted by flies in the warmer months of the year.

Background & aim: Due to their close connection with humans, flies are able to mechanically transmit many pathogenic agents and thus cause various diseases. Knowing and determining the species of flies is necessary to know the current situation and plan for their control. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine and investigate the species diversity and relative abundance of medically important flies in Fouladshahr, Isfahan province.

Methods: The present study was of a descriptive-analytical type. Sampling was done from April to March 2018 for one year and twice a month in selected stations in Fouladshahr, Iran. The collection of adult flies was done using insect nets and using inverted cone plastic bottles traps. In order to try to obtain the maximum diversity of species, sampling was done in four seasons and six times in each season, twice a month and once in each region. The sampling location was selected based on the proximity to the places where flies grow and develop, such as around the hospital, garbage collection, health and treatment centers, and animal places with the possibility of flies. Daily average temperature, humidity and wind speed were recorded. After catching the flies, they were transported to the laboratory and mounted. A that point they were identified using a valid identification key. The collected data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation and GEE regression statistical tests.

Results: In the present study, 6030 flies from three species, Musidae, Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae, were caught. The highest number of flies belonged to the species Musca domestica (72%) and Sarcophaga aegypti (0.08%) had the lowest frequency. The highest abundance of flies was in the month of July and the lowest amount was respectively in the months of January and February in Fouladshahr. Correlation results indicated that with the decrease in humidity, the population of flies increased (P˂0.004) and with the increase in temperature, the abundance of flies increased (P˂0.0001).

Conclusion: Considering the abundance of flies and their health importance in the study area, it seems necessary to adopt appropriate methods to manage resources and use existing capacities to control the population of flies in the study area.
