Abstract
Abstract: Background: Chlordane has been used for many years as an insecticide and it is stable against light under normal conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the Nano-photocatalytic activity of UV / Fe-Doped TiO2 for removal of cis-chlordane from water. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study, was conducted at the laboratory scale in a 2-liter reactor. The nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method. Cis-chlordane analyzed in a variety of pH, time, and concentrations. Excel 2007 and SPSS V.16 softwares and ANOVA test were used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that in the conditions of low pH, low concentration of pesticide, high concentration of Nano particles, and high contact time, the removal efficiency will increase. The optimum PH to remove cis-chlordane, in constant time and Nano-particle concentration, was equal to 5 (P value = 0.324). The optimal time for Cis-chlordane removal was revealed to be 45 minutes (P value = 0.112) and the nanoparticle concentration for optimal removal was 100Mg/L (P value = 0.069). In addition, optimal cis-chlordane removal occurred in cis-chlordane concentration of 10 Mg/L (P value = 0.2). Conclusion: The photo catalytic processes have high capacity to remove cis-chlordane and toxic minerals. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are non-toxic and UV/Fe-Doped TiO2 can be used to degrade cis-chlordane efficiently with the small amount of Nano-materials and very low power consumption.

Abstract
Introduction: Health literacy refers to one’s capability of acquisition, interpretation, and comprehension of the primary health care information that is essential for a proper decision-making. The present research aimed to evaluate the level of adults' health literacy in Jahrom in 2015.
Methods: The present descriptive and cross-sectional study which was applied in type, conducted on 502 adults (above 18 years of age) who were selected through convenient sampling method in Jahrom. The data collection instrument was a standardized performance health literacy in adults questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using independent t-test and one-way ANOVA.
Results: Based on the TOFHLA questionnaire, the health literacy of 82.62% of the adult subjects was adequate while that of 17.37% was close to the cut-off point. No statistically significant correlation was observed between health literacy and sex, age, and income. However, health literacy showed to be significantly correlated with education.
Conclusion: The present study showed an inadequate level of health literacy among the majority of subjects. Therefore, there is a need to assist those of low health literacy by developing comprehensive plans and easy and comprehensible educational media and materials to improve their health literacy.

Abstract
Introduction: The academic success of medical students can lead to better health services. Various factors can be related to their success or failure. This study investigates some factors, especially demographic factors, related to the academic failure of medical students.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted in 2016 among students of Bandar Abbas Medical School. The required information was obtained from the education office of school, counseling unit, and student files. In this study, 119 students with academic failure were selected as the case and 119 students formed the control group. The criteria of academic failure in this study were the drop in average grade in the second semester compared to the first semester of more than two points, becoming contingent in one semester, and having an average grade point from 12 to 14. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and descriptive and analytical statistics (independent t-test, chi-square, logistic regression, and odds ratio).
Results: The results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between residence status, father's and mother's educational level, and the type of diploma and academic failure (P< 0.05). But there was no relationship between age at the time of academic failure, marital status, diploma grade point average, acceptance quota, and acceptance rank and academic failure (P<0.05). Based on the results of logistic regression, none of variables related to each other.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, social and cultural factors such as residence status and educational status of student parents can be associated with academic failure. Therefore, in order to promote the future of community health, these factors should be considered.

Abstract
Introduction: Desirable sexual relations of couples is one of the most important causes of happiness and success in married life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment based therapy on sexual satisfaction of infertile women.
Methods: This applied research was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The study population included all infertile women referred to 6 infertility centers in Isfahan in 2019-2020, out of whom, 40 women were selected by the available sampling method and then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was exposed to 9 training sessions based on acceptance and commitment therapy and were evaluated in three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up using the Hudson-Harrison Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 26 and using repeated measures mixed analysis test.
Results: The results showed that the mean of sexual satisfaction in the experimental group increased compared to the control group in the post-test and follow-up stages (P-Value<0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in the sexual satisfaction of control group in the three stages. The results of mixed analysis also showed that the interaction effect of time × group on sexual satisfaction was statistically significant (P-Value=0.001, F=10.71) and the implementation of the independent variable led to an increase in sexual satisfaction in the experimental group.
Conclusion: Acceptance and commitment based therapy is effective in increasing and improving the quality of life and sexual satisfaction in infertile women.
