Experiments were intended to study effects of profenofos and carbosulfan on the activities of dehydrogenase of freshwater fish, Labeo rohita. Healthy freshwater fish, Labeo rohita (Hamilton) were collected from the Nandivelugu fishfarm, India. Profenofos and carbosulfan pesticides were purchased from local pesticide store in Guntur, India, based on the preliminary lethal toxicity tests (96 hr LC50 i.e. 100 μg l-1; 1.2 mg l-1 and 1/10th 96 hr LC50 i.e.10 μg l-1; 0.12mg l-1 and) were selected as lethal and sublethal concentrations. After the acclimation, fish were exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations in groups of 10 fish in 15 L of the test water in test chambers for 1 and 8 days. Fluctuations in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were observed in different tissues of the experimental animal. The activity of LDH was highly elevated following profenofos and carbosulfan exposure indicating increased anaerobic respiration to meet the energy demands where aerobic oxidation is lowered. Rapid depletion of SDH activity in all tissues of fish, L. rohita treated with sublethal and lethal concentrations of profenofos and carbosulfan. When compared to their respective controls. The general reduction in SDH activity due to pesticidal stress was associated with the inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory mechanism of dearrangement on ultra-structure, architectural integrity and permeability of mitochondria. Decreased MDH activity levels due to the inhibition exerted by oxaloacetate; maybe decrease in the activity of TCA cycle dehydrogenase is consistent with the disintegration of mitochondria of CO2 formation from acetate. Both profenofos and carbosulfan intoxication exerted a profound influence on the dehydrogenase enzymes of fish L. rohita but comparatively profenofos treated fish tissues showed more deterioration when compared to carbosulfan treated fish.

"Mental workload refers to the amount of effort put in by the mind during the accomplishment of a duty. It essentially has to do with individuals’ mental capacity and the way they receive and process information in order to make decisions and take appropriate actions. The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between mental workload and prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among welders of Tehran Heavy Metal Structures Company. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2016. The sample included 100 welders working at Tehran Heavy Metal Structures Company. Sampling was done by census method. A demographic features questionnaire, NASA-TLX workload questionnaire, and Nordic Questionnaire were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by the use of SPSS (Version 22). Various data analysis procedures, including independent samples t-test, Pearson correlation, chi-square, and Fisher’s exact test, were employed. The mean of participants’ overall score in mental workload was 65.88 ± 21.15. Eighty four percent of the studied welders reported that they had experienced musculoskeletal disorders during the past 12 months (leading to the study), with the highest prevalence being recorded for waist (65%). Furthermore, the results of Pearson correlation indicated that there was a significant relationship between the prevalence of disorders in the legs and physical demand (P = 0.032). Also, a considerable association was observed between disorders in the wrist / hand and overall NASA mental workload score during the past 12 months (P = 0.021). Mental workload and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders are relatively high among welders. Waist was the most important risk factor among the participants studied. Future studies should attempt to detect risk factors that cause such disorders and suggest ways to reduce or prevent these problems among welders as much as possible."

"Health indicators and their determinants are important in appropriate policy making at the national level and throughout the world. This study attempts to explain the health impact indicators and rank the eastern Mediterranean region’s countries using the combination approach of TOPSIS-AHP. This study is both descriptive and analytical, and is conducted through cross-sectional methods. In order to weight life expectancy and mortality indicators as impact indicators by AHP, 25 experts completed a paired comparison questionnaire. Expert Choice 11 was used to weight indicators and TOPSIS software was used to rank the countries. Based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and paired comparisons in health impact indicators, it was found that the highest weight was related to the infant mortality rate (IMR) with a weight of 0.284, and the lowest weight was related to the life expectancy indicator at age 60 with a weight of 0.030. After ranking the countries according to the health impact indicators and by using the TOPSIS method, it was found that Bahrain is the first and Somalia is the last among the studied countries. Existing facilities and potentials shall be guided first to the countries with unsuitable health indicators; these countries shall be focused on more than other countries within the region. The most important strategies that the countries can apply to improve the health indicators are raising awareness about health related issues, eliminating financial barriers that decrease access to health, focusing on inter-sectoral cooperation, and promoting the other sectors to participate."

In recent years, consumer demand for a new range of dairy products, including yoghurts, which have functional and designed sensory properties have increased. In the present research physicochemical, microbiological and sensory attributes of yogurts manufactured from cow milk with aqueous extract of Aloe vera and Lactobacillus casei before and after cold storage for different periods of time (1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days) were investigated. Titrable acidity (TA) of examined yoghurts during storage period at 4°C increased and their pH decreased significantly (P<0.05). The percentages of Water Holding Capacity (WHC) and Syneresis of yoghurt samples through the 10 days storage period were significantly decreased and increased, respectively (P<0.05). Viability of L. casei was significantly higher in probiotic yoghurt samples than others with Aloe vera extract after the end storage time. Sensory evaluation of examined yoghurts showed that Aloe vera extract had no effect on sensory quality of probiotic yoghurt samples. It was concluded that probiotic yoghurt with 2.5% Aloe vera extract with low syneresis and high WHC had better physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties in comparison with the other probiotic yoghurt samples.

"In vitro mutagenesis is considered as an efficient approach for increasing the plant diversity. Lilium is one of the important bulbous flowers that distributed widely over the world. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of Ethyl Methane Sulfunate (EMS) on in vitro mutagenesis of Lilium spp. (cv. OT Geel and Robina). After surface sterilization bulb scales, they were treated with EMS solution. Then, they were cut into 3mm thickness TCL explants and incubated on regeneration medium. Results indicated that 0.2% EMS was the most effective concentration in enhancement of shoots numbers in both cultivars. Molecular changes in OT Geel and Robina mutants showed that mutation can induce high polymorphism, so that in OT Geel, 11 treatments were classified into 4 groups with similarity level 0.87% and in Robina, 11 treatments were grouped into 2 groups with similarity level 0.86%. In all treatments genetic variations were observed, but higher concentrations of EMS were more effective for mutation induction. The results indicate that the efficiency of ISSR marker for detection of genetic variants is high and leads to early selection of them. This study is the first report to identify EMS treated mutants using ISSR marker in Lilium plants."

In the present study, 60 cow’s raw milk samples were collected from Qazvin province, Iran during Dec 2015 till July 2016. Enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to determine Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in the milk samples. AFM1 was detected in 34 raw milk samples ranging from 6.25×10-3 to 127.87×10-3 (part per billion). AFM1 contents in all positive samples were far below the US legal limit (0.5 ppb), but AFM1 in30% of the raw milk samples exceeded the EU legal limit (0.05) and 5% of the samples exceeded the Iran legal limit (0.1 ppb). This study indicates a high occurrence of AFM1 in cow’s raw milk especially in winter (40.71×10- 3ppb) but the level of contamination were not significantly different in various seasons (P<0.05). Since contamination of milk with AFM1 is a potential risk for human health, in order to prevent the repetition, milk and milk products should be controlled periodically. The levels of AFM1 contamination of milk in the present study showed that continuous examining of milk is necessary to improve public health and reduce consumer exposure to aflatoxins. Reducing the levels of AFB1 in animal feedstuffs can be regarded as initial step to control the transfer of AFM1 to the humans.
