Abstract

Backgound: Approximately half of the diabetics population type 2 are not aware of their disease .Lack of awareness can lead to development of diabetes and increase cost of treatment. The aim of this survey was to determine the level of population awareness in Bushehr port in south of Iran in Bushehr prov­ince.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 719 subjects (417 male and 302 female) aged over 18 years old, without diabetes and inhabitant in Bushehr port in 2005 were assessed. Multi-stage random simple sampling was used. A 39 question questionnaire was used with validity checked by researchers in Yazd Diabetes Research Center and reliability alpha-cronbach=75%.The data were analyzed with independ­ent t-test, pearson correlation coefficient , ANOVA and Multiple Logistic Regression models by SPSS package ver. 10.05.

Results: Mean and SD of scores of subjects knowledge levels were 16.96 and 6.29, respectively. The levels of males' awareness rate was more than females' (P=0.001). There was indirect relation between subjects awareness and their age (r=-0.203, P=0.001) and direct relation between awareness and the level of education (P=0.01, r=0.07).The mean of awareness scores was not similar between singles and married (P=0.042). Awareness regarding fundamental diabetes disease, primary symptoms, early com­pli­ca­tions, delay complications, diet awareness was low and concerning controlling methods of diabetes was high.

Conclusion: Awareness in relation to fundamental and complications of diabetes disease was low, so the people need more education about diabetes.

Abstract

 Background and Aim:To assess of human force and population's programming at high level, is very important that we know rates and characteristics of population. Growth of population has direct relationship with fertility rate of women in community. To control of population and arrive to index of N.R.R.(Net reproduction rate) equal to one ,each family must be has one or tow children .Thus ,in families that they have more over tow children, we must be search about factors affected and attempt to reduce of population's growth , until arrive to a stationary population.

Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study upon 500 women that are married and have 45 years old and more in Bushehr. Tow-stage random sampling was used in this study. First, Bushehr divided into 23 hypothesis blocks of 1000 households and thus, 20 points from each of blocks were selected by chance. Also, from each of 20 pointes, 25 families were selected by chance. In this study, a questionnaire was used for collecting of data, that questioners were asked of chief of households. The data was analyzed with SPSS package version 13. To find relationship between variables together and with response variable , was used kendall's tau test and chi-square for trend test. The multiple-logistic regression was used to find factors affected on parity progression ratios.

Results: In this study 181 persons(36.2%) of women had illiterate, 229 persons(45.8%) had primary education and 90 persons(18%) of them had high and more education .The age of the first marriage of 456 persons(91.2 %)  of women were under 25 years old and the age of the first pregnancy of 196(39.2 %) of them were under 20 years old. Probability of arrive to the first child in Bushehr was equal 0.98,and probability of arrive to second, thirst and fourth children was equal 0.92,0.81 and 0.72 respectively. This study shows that the factor like the age of the first marriage of women has a negative effect on PPR (parity progression ratio) from zero to one child, and the factors like the women's education and having a dead child have a positive effect on it. The results indicate that the factor like having a dead child has increasing effect on PPR from one to tow children, and the factors like the women's education, the age of the first pregnancy and marriage have a decreasing effect on it. In this research it is observed that having a dead child has a positive effect on PPR from tow to three children, and the factors like the age of the first pregnancy and marriage, education of women and their husbands have a negative effect on PPR from tow to three children. Also it is observed that sexually and having a dead child has increasing effect on PPR from three to four children, and the factors like, the women's education, job and education of husband , and the age of the first pregnancy of  women have decreasing effect on PPR from three to four children.

Conclusion: The results indicate that probability of arrive to third and fourth children are high. Thus it is show the controlling of family planning in Bushehr dose not good carry out within families belong lately decades.

Volume 9, Issue 3 (9-2015)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Data mining is a very important branch in deeper understanding of medical data, which attempts to solve problems in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. One of the most important data mining applications is to examine the existing data patterns. The present study aims to examine the existing data patterns of patients with asthma. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 258 patients with respiratory symptoms, who referred to Imam Khomeini and Masih Daneshvari Hospitals in 2009. All records were entered into Excel software, and data mining add-ins were used. Analyses such as key influencers, cluster analysis of patients, and detecting exceptions have been done. Results: The most common clinical sign of asthma among subjects was severe coughing, which was highly affected by thrills. The data were aggregated into 5 clusters for more general analyses. Their common denominator was then identified and the records with exceptional features were determined. Then, following cost analysis and setting the threshold value at 612, a questionnaire was developed based on data features for diagnosis of asthma. Conclusion: The developed framework for data mining and analysis is an appropriate tool for knowledge extraction based on the data and their relationships. Meanwhile, it can identify and fill the existing gap in medical decision- making when using clinical guideline

Volume 18, Issue 6 (2-2025)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Establishing dynamic relationships between graduates and current students should be a high priority for universities striving to progress in the rapidly changing and competitive market of third-generation universities. Due to the lack of effective communication with graduates in Iranian universities and the role of these systems in the technology ecosystem, the aim of this study is to analyze the needs of a graduate alumni management system and propose a conceptual model.
Materials and Methods: The research consisted of two main phases: needs analysis and process and software design. During the requirements engineering, as described in systems analysis and design references, a quick review was first conducted in selected databases regarding the capabilities and use cases of existing studies and the proposed features of innovative graduate alumni management systems. The extracted items from the rapid review were presented in a checklist. Then, functional requirements were extracted through interviews with 10 experts from the university’s educational deputy and faculty, using a two-round Delphi method. In the next stage, work processes were observed, and process owners were interviewed. UML diagrams were used to achieve a suitable description of a good system.
Results: In this study, the requirements were categorized into two main groups, comprising 37 functional and non-functional needs. The functional category included three significant subcategories: basic needs, social needs, and innovation needs. Basic needs encompassed the essentials required for the system’s fundamental operation. Social needs referred to the system’s ability to facilitate user interactions, while innovation needs involved new and creative features that could be added to the system. A software engineering specialist analyzed these functional needs and translated them into system use cases to be effectively incorporated into the system’s development.
Conclusion: The proposed conceptual model of the graduate alumni management system was analyzed and modeled based on user-centered requirements engineering. The proposed model provides a practical document for the effective implementation of a communication mechanism and active interaction between graduates, as well as current students, faculty members, and other staff in an innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Cataract surgery is one of the most common eye surgeries worldwide. Most individuals undergoing this surgery are elderly patients, and the use of general anesthesia and additional medications can lead to complications during and after the surgery, as well as increased costs for patients. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of intravenous Dexmedetomidine and Fentanyl, as well as Midazolam and intravenous Sufentanil, on pain intensity, hemodynamic status, surgeon satisfaction, and the level of sedation in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Materials and Methods: This double-blind clinical trial was conducted on 80 patients who were candidates for cataract surgery at Farshchian Sina Hospital in Hamadan. Sampling was carried out from March 10, 2023 to August 21, 2024. The intervention group received Dexmedetomidine and intravenous fentanyl, while the control group received midazolam and Sufentanil. Blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation level, were measured. Pain intensity, surgeon satisfaction, and the level of sedation in patients were measured and recorded. The results of the research utilized qualitative and quantitative variables based on the study groups, using counts (percentages) and means (standard deviations). For the statistical analysis of these variables at baseline, chi-square tests and independent t-tests were employed. To assess the impact of treatment groups on pain throughout the study, repeated measures ANOVA was used, and the interaction between time and group was evaluated. In cases where the outcome variable under study was not normally distributed, non-parametric equivalents such as the Mann-Whitney test were applied. A significance level of P-Value<0.05 was considered. All statistical tests were conducted using Stata software.  
Results: In the intervention group, heart rate and blood pressure decreased over time. Changes in heart rate and blood pressure had no effect on the patients’ recovery process. Oxygen saturation level in the intervention group did not change compared to the control group over time. The medication used in the intervention group did not cause shortness of breath or a decrease in oxygen saturation levels. Additionally, there was no significant difference in pain levels between the two groups. The level of sedation in patients and surgeon satisfaction in the intervention group was higher than the control group.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the research, it is recommended to use Dexmedetomidine in cataract surgery and other surgeries that require sedation.
