M aterials and Methods: The research sample composed of 200 students who studied at Iranian universities in 2016-17 academic year. SRLS and Goleman's emotional intelligence questionnaire were utilized in this research. Collected data was analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multivariate regression technique. R es ults: Scores of goal setting and planning (p=0.009) and self-consequating (p=0.021) were higher among females, and those of support from teacher (p=0.014), notes review (p=0.001), and homework review (p=0.004) were higher among males. Furthermore, regarding emotional intelligence, scores of self-motivation (p=0.012) and social skills (p=0.008) were higher among males. Conclusion: Goal-setting and planning for these strategies help people organize materials more easily, and understand that, self-consequating includes learner’s judgement about his/her own capabilities, and this self-trust contributes to better implementation of his/her cognitive skills in his/her studies. Regarding the support from teacher, notes review and homework review among males, which fall within the scope of resource management strategies, by organizing learning environment, seeking support from parents and teacher, and adjusting efforts help the learner either eliminate or attenuate distraction, and the fact that others can help us. Furthermore, both note taking and note reading contribute to better recovery of information from memory. This strategy includes administrating or regulating one’s own and others’ emotions, appropriate adoption of those in human relationships, controlling instantaneous desires, and confronting opposite or negative emotions. Being composed of self-motivation and social skills, this strategy has higher levels among males.","PeriodicalId":19372,"journal":{"name":"Novelty in Biomedicine","volume":"39 1","pages":"38-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90253366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this surgery the nasal base width and alar flaring is got smaller with some kind of procedures. One of these procedures is wedge resection of alar base. This procedure may accompany with either some dissatisfaction of scars and adverse effects or complications. In this study, we evaluate the patient satisfaction of scar and possible complications. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 rhinoplasty patients at 15 khordad hospital were candidates for alar base wedge resection due to broad nasal base and / or alar flaring who were chosen for this study. We recorded and examined these patients before and minimum 6 months after surgery, then evaluated these information and data, which finally, compared all the preoperation and postoperation findings. Results: Mean age of patients was 30.11 years old. The full satisfaction of scar was 85.5% (103), but 6.7% (8) of patients had not satisfaction of scar due to visible scar in their alar facial groove. The rate of nostril symmetry satisfaction was 79.2% (95) and 8.3% (10) was dissatisfied due to nostril asymmetry. There was no external valve incompetency nor alar and sill notching in our study. There was not any narrowing of nostrils as well. The mean interalar distance preoperatively was 35.88 mm, which reduced to 32.61mm of mean diameter after surgery, (P-value = 0.000). Alar flaring correction was 88% (106) which was an acceptable consequence. Conclusion: The results of present study showed that in spite of surgeons fear for scar and some common complications after alar base resection, the satisfaction rate of our patients in this study were high, and complications frequencies were low. Therefore, we advise that it is better and wiser to do this operation in indicated patients surely within primary rhinoplasty and do not postpone it to another surgery.","PeriodicalId":19372,"journal":{"name":"Novelty in Biomedicine","volume":"60 1","pages":"10-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84787923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Provide new solutions to reduce the destructive process of effective factors on asphalt destruction and increasing prolong of its lifetime is important for society of road engineers. Traffic loading and weather conditions are the major factors that have role on different asphalt destruction. M aterials and Methods: In this study, three types of HMAs, which contain nanoclay, and carbon nanotubes were produced by Marshall method in Iran University of Science and Technology, and one type of aged HMA were also collected for further investigations. The HMA samples were transferred to microbiology laboratory of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, and then suspensions were prepared from specimens and cultured on nutrient agar medium. After 24 hours’ incubation at 37 C the bacteria that were grown on the plate were identified. At least the effect of clay and carbon nanoparticles on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of bacteria, were determined by microdilution broth method. R es ults: A lot of bacterial colonies ( Bacillus and Pseudomonas ) were collected from the aged specimens. The asphalt, which contain nanoclay had more bacteria than the nanocarbon asphalt. The carbon and clay nanoparticles in 2% and 4% concentration prevented the growth of bacteria, respectively. C onclusion: The old asphalt had more bacteria than other samples, which shows bacteria are one of the main factors in decomposition of asphalt by applying corrosion to bituminous hydrocarbons. Presence of clay and carbon nanoparticles in asphalt structures could increase the durability of the HMAs and reduce the relevant economics costs.","PeriodicalId":19372,"journal":{"name":"Novelty in Biomedicine","volume":"33 1","pages":"13-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84860961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
