        Inflation expectations as one of the factors influencing inflation formation plays a decisive role in economic policy. Decision making and decision making in relation to issues such as consumption, savings, production, investment, the choice of asset portfolios, wages, exchange rates and interest rates are all shaped by inflationary expectations.In this study, the problem of formation of inflationary expectations among capital market participants in laboratory space using Z-tree software has been studied. To this end, Taylor's expanded rule first examined the central bank's behavior toward inflationary depreciation and estimated the Bank's central counterpart effect. The average inflation expectations of the participants in this experiment was 14.12%. Based on the results of this study, at a significant level, 95% of 34.7% of participants in this experiment formed their expectations based on the rational expectation pattern, 22.1% of individuals based on the matching pattern of expectations and 43.2% based on learning models. Therefore, monetary authorities, with the knowledge of how the formation of inflationary expectations among capital market participants can be appropriate policies, in line with the direction of existing liquidity towards the capital market, which controls inflation and prevents the movement of liquidity in the community towards the foreign exchange market and gold To adopt.

        Introduction: Cost management and reduction in healthcare resource utilization while maintaining the quality of laboratory services and making sure of the continued provision of servicesare one of the basic challenges facing hospital managers under COVID-19 pandemic conditions. Hospital managers have to control laboratory performance, identify the bottlenecks, and finally decide which program is necessary for reducing inappropriate utilization of laboratory resources and increasing hospital revenue. Accordingly, study of the workload in clinical laboratories provides them with valuable information to develop and implement policies that improve laboratory performance. Methods: This applied cross-sectional research followed a descriptive-analytical method for analyzing the workload of the clinical laboratory of Amirul Mominin Ali Zabol Hospital in Sistan region in order to investigate the volume of referrals in two years before and after the start of the epidemic. Covid-19 and determining the causes of possible changes has been done. Results: The research findings indicated that the number of inpatients referring to the hospital laboratory has decreased by 18.7% and outpatients by 49.7%, 2 years into the Covid–19 pandemic in comparison with the same period before it, and the number of tests has decreased by 0.025% in the inpatient ward and by 55.13% in the outpatient ward compared to the pre-epidemic period, on the other hand, the average number of test for each person has increased by 21.09% in the inpatient ward and has decreased by 8.9% in the outpatient ward. Conclusion: Based on research results, the Covid–19 pandemic affects the workload of clinical laboratories. Cancellation of elective hospitalization cases, decrease of patients' visits to the hospital, closure of non-COVID wards and clinics, reduction in accidents, increases in economic problems, and uncertainty on the quality of services were among the mentioned factors that decreased the number of patients visiting the hospital.   Manuscript profile

        The Jasmine moth Palpita unionalis Hubner (Lep., Pyralidae) is one of the most important pests of plants from Oleaceae, such as privet (Ligustrum ovalifoliumHassk) and olive (Olea europea L.). This insect has been introduced to Iran in recent years. Therefore, it needs extensive      researches according to its new ecological conditions. In this regard, the plant host preference of the pest was studied to find an alternative plant host for rearing the jasmine moth. The biological parameters of this moth compared when reared on the two plant hosts (north of Iran). Pupae of the pest were collected from the trees and nurseries of olive at Tarom region. Adults emerged were transferred to growth chamber for rearing at the conditions of 25±0.5 ˚C, RH %65±5 and 12L: 12D. Biological parameters such as number and period of generation, larval feeding rate, larval           development time and mortality, sex ratio and adults longevity were compared on olive and privet. The pest has five instars on two hosts but larval duration is shorter on privet. Also it feeds much more quantity of leaves of privet. The rate of mortalities were not different significantly. This     insect produced 8 and 10 complete generations on olive and privet, respectively. According to the accomplished studies, host suitability was similar, but the privet is more available and inexpensive than olive for laboratory rearing of jasmine moth. Manuscript profile

        Along with the considerable growth of emerging technologies (such as artificial intelligence and big data, internet of things, blockchain, cloud computing, etc.) and expansion of their application in people’s everyday life, one of the technological concepts which has received more attention recently is the Metaverse or meta-universe. Metaverse as a virtual world is based on Virtual Reality technology and simulates environments, objects, people and their communications in a 3D space and provides a near-reality experience known as immersive experience for users. One of the contexts which is noticeably affected by Metaverse is education. Using VR and Metaverse, we can cope with many existing educational challenges such as space and time limitations, lack of sufficient raw materials, difficulties of equipment maintenance, etc. using cost-effective and low-risk solutions. In this paper, Mechaverse, the Iran’s first domain-specific metaverse of mechanical engineering is introduced which is designed and implemented to provide laboratory courses and skill workshops related to physics and mechanics. Afterwards, necessary tools for development of Mechaverse are described and some defined practical courses and the mechanisms of accessing and using them are discussed. Manuscript profile

        Applying atmospheric corrections in order to reduce the attenuation effects of the atmosphere on the quality and accuracy of the recorded data, requires a comprehensive knowledge of the conditions, characteristics, and behavior of the atmosphere as the sensor passes through the target coordinates. Nowadays, many equipment's, models and algorithms are used to study the components of the atmosphere. For this reason, in this research, a native solar radiation system was designed and built to calculate the optical depth of air aerosol. In order to simulate and investigate the effects of changes in each atmospheric component, the MODTRAN model was used in PCModWin environment. In this electro-optical system, at two wavelengths of 450 and 550 nm, due to the absorption range of the air aerosol, in two different days in terms of the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere, intense data were recorded. In order to ensure the uniformity and linearity of the response of the designed electro-optical system to measure changes in the intensity of sunlight, radiometric calibration of this system was performed. Using atmospheric models, from the recorded intensity data, the optical depth of the weather and the horizontal atmospheric metrics were calculated. In order to verify and evaluate the performance of the designed system, optical depth data obtained from MODIS (Aqua) sensor and horizontal exponential data of Mehrabad Airport meteorological station were used. The results of the accuracy evaluation showed that the calculation of the optical depth by the system designed and the MODIS sensor (Aqua) both shows a number of 0.5 in the passing hour of the satellite. The results also show a good correlation between the horizontal visibility calculated in this study and the data obtained from the reference meteorological station. Manuscript profile

        The expansion of the use of virtual technologies in education has made education available to learners at any time and any place The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of designing a learning environment based on a virtual laboratory on the progress motivation of fifth grade elementary school students in science. The current research is practical and semi-experimental. For this purpose, a pre-test-post-test plan with a control group was used. The socio-statistics included all fifth grade female students of Karaj primary school. 40 people from the mentioned society were selected through purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to two control and experimental groups. The instrument used included the achievement motivation questionnaire with confirmed validity and reliability. At first, both groups completed the progress motivation questionnaire as a pre-test. Then, for the experiment group, the activities and experiments of the science book were designed in virtual form. At the end, the progress motivation questionnaire was given to the students of both groups as a post-test. The collected data were analyzed using the statistical test of univariate covariance with the help of spss version 18 software. The result of the research showed that there is a difference between the progress motivation of the two control and experimental groups in the post-test, and this difference is significant (a=0.05: p-value=0.001); This means that the design of the learning environment based on the virtual laboratory designed on the basis of Bayabi's design model has improved the motivation of students to progress in the science course. Therefore, it is recommended to the teachers and training providers to design and use a virtual laboratory based on the Bayabi design model to improve the motivation of students to progress in science lessons.

         In this research, a laboratory study was performed on the shear and flexural behavior of single-reinforced concrete (RC)­ beams without stirrups. For this purpose, four single-reinforced concrete beams with the dimensions of 250 by 300 mm and 1650 mm length and in four longitudinal reinforcement steel bars’ percentages of 0.36, 0.64, 1.05 and 1.45 of conventional rebars (S400) and concrete with compressive strength in the range of 35 Mpa were designed and all specimens were tested under four-point bending test. The test results presented that increasing of the reinforcement ratio of tensile rebars was efficient in increasing of the shear capacity of beams. Then, the shear and flexural strength obtained from the test were compared with the final shear and flexural strength predicted using AS3600, ACI, JSCE, EN, CSA, NZA , Iran codes and the proposed relationship by Al-Taan, and Al-Feel. The studies indicated the accuracy of the relationships proposed by Al-Taan and Al-Feel with an average of 1.26 times less than the experimental results, and the large difference between the values proposed by the Iranian Concrete Code and Japan (JSCE) Code with an average of 2.29 and 2.35 times, respectively less than the shear strength obtained from the test results, compared to other regulations in this research.

        The performance of a BRBs is highly dependent on the geometric characteristics of sections. Steel core components play highly role in the absorption of energy and the other members only prevent buckling, Therefore the proper performance of BRBs are dependent on suitable steel core sections. There is an example of a recreant steel core of 40mm*20mm with total length of 2660mm selected in accordance to the Zsarnóczay Laboratory and modeled in the finite element software. Then compared with laboratory and accuracy results in the Abacus software three other models of 40mm*30mm, 40mm*40mm, 60mm*20mm with overall length of 2660mm in accordance with the necessary invariant bracket factors taken from the Pedro Romero laboratory paper were introduced, modeled and verified with the same physical specification. Then the cross section of 40mm*30mm was selected as the appropriate cross section for the recreant steel core in terms of software output based on parameters such as hysteresis curve comparison, sample hardness comparisons, proper ratios of compressive force to tensile strength. Then for accuracy of suitable cross section for different model, by retaining the proportions of the bracing components, recreant core 40mm*40mm with a total length of 3600mm were modeled Manuscript profile

        There are currently several methods to prevent scouring the bridge base. These methods can be divided into two general categories. The first group is to increase the strength of the substrate materials against erosion, such as the use of a gobion, a rap ramp around the bridges, and the second one, by changing the pattern of the flow around the bases, reduces the strength of the erosion factors, which are the collars, And bridge bridges are examples of these methods. In this research, the experimental study of the impact of the bridge nose bridge on the scour depth reduction was considered. For this purpose, 22 experiments were carried out in the vicinity of the pollen and triangular nests at four angles (0.70,75,80.90) 215/0, 232/0, 261/0). According to the results of the experiment, the reduction of scour depth in the triangular nose support for different floats in all angles had the best performance in reducing the scour depth during the experiments.

        Protection of the downstream of culvert outlets against scour process, as a water conveyance structure, is a highly significant issue in design of culverts. In this study, the effect of bed litter length on downstream scour depth is investigated. For this purpose, experiments were carried out on the laminate with different lengths. According to the results, the particle landing at 22%, 33% and 66%, respectively, and the landing at particle landing of 2.5%, respectively. 15%, 20%, and 40% decreased particle depth by 20%, 25%, and 31%, respectively, indicating that bedding has a positive effect on decreasing downstream scour depth. The scour for the flooring considering the length of the layer showed that the scour depth decreases with the increase of the layer length due to the constant landing number. Manuscript profile

        Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation play a role in Parkinson's disease. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatories such as polyphenol compounds and flavonoids inhibit neuronal death. The aim of the present study is the effect of xanthone and 6-hydroxyflavone in Parkinson's disease in laboratory mice. Animals are cannulated by stereotaxic surgery and unilateral injection of 6-hydroxy-dopamine is performed in the dense area of ​​the substantia nigra (SNc) of the brain. Xanthone and 6-hydroxyflavone were injected intraperitoneally. Three weeks after surgery, movement evaluations and pseudo-anxiety and pseudo-depression behaviors were performed. Counting of all the neurons in the dense area of ​​the substantia nigra was done. Injection of 6-hydroxydopamine increased the number of apomorphine rotations. Catalysis time increased. Neurons in the substantia nigra decreased. 6-Hydroxyflavone (50 and 100 mg/kg) and xanthone (100 and 200 mg/kg) reduced vertigo and catalepsy. In the elevated plus shape maze test, 6-hydroxyflavone in doses of 25 and 50 mg/kg and xanthone in doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg increased motor activity. In the forced swimming test, xanthone in doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg reduced immobility in parkinsonian rats. The number of substantia nigra neurons increased with the treatment of 6-hydroxyflavone in doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg xanthone. Xanthone and 6-hydroxyflavone improved movement disorder and catalepsy and increased the number of nerve cells in the substantia nigra. Xanthon was able to reduce depression. Probably, part of these central protective effects are mediated by the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of xanthone and 6-hydroxyflavone, which prevent cell death by reducing free radicals and inflammatory cytokines, and as a result, they improve cognitive and movement disorders.

        Giardiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the flagellate protozoan Giardia lamblia (synonyms: Giardia intestinalis and Giardia duodenalis). The characteristic of this disease are including worldwide distribution, high prevalence, and significant morbidity. Different studies relieved that the thymol content available in some medicinal plants has anti-giardiasis effect. Hence, based on adequate thymol in contents of both, Satureja sahandica and Origanum vulgare extracts, the aim of present research was comparison the effect of Satureja sahandica and Origanum vulgare Extracts with metronidazole on Giardia lamblia in vitro condition. In this experimental-laboratory study, 500 µl of each of 10, 100 and 200 mg/L concentrations of extracts and 125 mg/L of metronidazole was added to 500 µl of purified giardia cysts, respectively. In control groups normal saline used whereas these agents. The giardicidal activity of the extracts was measured 30, 60 and 120 min (s) after exposure through 0.1% eosin dye staining and microscopic enumeration method. Minimum, maximum and means lethal concentrations of treatments were calculated after three times in each group. Results relieved that anti-giardicidal effects of both extracts significantly increased due to rising the concentration and time. Based on present study findings and in accordance with others, it seems thymol content of SS and OV extracts were responsible for their anti-giardial activity. Meanwhile, further studies needed for clarify their exact mechanism of actions Manuscript profile
