Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success factors in the implementation of quality management systems in Sun Star Company
Methods: The research method in this research is descriptive. The statistical population included senior managers, middle managers and operational managers of the company. In general, data collection methods can be divided into two categories: library methods and field methods. In this research, field method has been used to collect information. Data collection tools in this study were three different questionnaires. Methods of data analysis this research has been done at the level of group decision making in conditions of uncertainty.
Results: The most important factor is "employee commitment" and in the second, third and fourth ranks are "resource availability", "senior management commitment" and "education level", respectively.
Results: According to the above ranking, the most important factor is "employee commitment" and in the second, third and fourth ranks are "resource availability", "senior management commitment" and "education level", respectively.
Discussion: The amount of great importance are the factors that affect human resources. The results of network analysis confirm that the importance of employee commitment index shows more than other indicators, which means that due to small changes in the status of other factors, a significant effect can be observed in the successful implementation of ISO.
Introduction: Today, human resources are considered as the most important resources in organizations. Therefore, researchers in their study and study on issues such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment and employee performance and such cases in the organization have attached great importance to the relationship between influential and related factors. Therefore, in this study, the relationship between ethical leadership and job satisfaction and employee performance is examined.
Methods: This study examines the relationship between ethical leadership with Employee performance, job satisfaction and organizational commitment of employees at headquarters Arak University of medical science that deals Field research and gathering data samples were randomly. In the present study, the statistical population includes all managers and employees who are currently working in the financial administrative field of Arak University of Medical Sciences and Health Services and the statistical population was 500 people, so the statistical population is limited. Based on the mortgage table, the sample size was 160. The research questionnaires were distributed, collection and analysis using SPSS18 software.
Results: The results show that each of the variables between ethical leadership, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and practice staff are correlated
Discussion: Based on the research results, it is suggested that university administrators to increase the job satisfaction of employees to observe the maximum standards of ethical leadership to increase job satisfaction and thus increase efficiency and productivity.
Introduction: Fire and explosion accident has enormous impact and difficult to predict. The Project X was a construction site that has a diesel tank of 5000 liters. The diesel tank has the potential to generate fire and explosion. Therefore, it was crucial to do a consequence analysis. This study aimed to analyze the fire and explosion consequences in the diesel tank in the Project X.
Methods: This research was a descriptive study using the value of Dows Fire and Explosion Index method. This study obtained the Fire and Explosion index value of 28.83, so it was included in the light category.
Results: The area of exposure was 171.018 m2. The loss control credit factor was 0.873. Even though the value of Fire and Explosion Index was light, the resulting impact still relatively large.
Discussion: The area of exposure was affected not only the project area but also affects the community area. The loss control credit factor in the project area has not been influential. It was suggested that the Project X improve their fire and explosion protection system.
Introduction: Public health concerns about the covid-19 pandemic and the lack of any treatment for the disease and living in quarantine have led to psychological illness in people with the virus. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between anxiety severity and depression with coping skills in people with and without COVID-19 to reduce harm in Azna.
Methods: The study is a descriptive correlational and applied study. The statistical population is all patients and non-patients with Covid 19. Because the statistical population is unlimited, 175 patients and its equivalent for non-patients using Cochran’s formula and sample were selected at random in the city of Azna. The instruments used in the study were the Personal Information Questionnaire, Lazarus Coping Skills Questionnaire, and Beck Anxiety and Depression Questionnaire. Validity and reliability of the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS16 statistical software and multiple regression analysis, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: A comparison between covid-19 and non-covid patients showed that the severity of anxiety and depression in patients was higher than in non-patients and also between coping skills and the severity of anxiety and depression in patients with covid-19. There was a significant correlation between 19 and non-patients (P <0.001) and with increasing coping skills score, the severity of anxiety and depression decreased.
Conclusion: This study showed that having Covid-19 increases the severity of depression and anxiety in people. Improving proper coping skills and psychological techniques, in people with and without pain, will help maintain mental health with such a health crisis.
Introduction: There are millions of working children worldwide. Several causes are suggested for this social evil of which poverty plays a significant role in whether a child will work. This study was undertaken to understand the morbidity profile and the social dimensions of working children of the cottage units of footwear making.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study included 139 working children of footwear making units of Agra as exposed group and 160 school children as comparison group. Using interview technique, the demographic characteristics, occupational and clinical history were recorded on a pre-designed proforma. The reason for taking up the job, income from the job and their desire to attend the school were recorded. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 15.0.
Results: The mean age of working and school children was 10.8 ± 1.5 years and 11.0 ± 1.5 years respectively. The mean height of working and school children was 131.0 ± 9.8 cms and 136.9 ± 9.4 cms respectively and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.5; df=1; p<0.05) Similarly, the mean weight of working children (25.9 ± 5.6 kgs) was significantly lesser than the mean weight of school children (28.6 ± 5.6 kgs) (t=4.2; df=1; p<0.05). In all 70.5% of the working children were symptomatic while only 104 (65%) school children had symptoms.
Conclusion: To conclude, the social factors forcing the children to work, results in deterioration of their health as suggested by presence of symptoms and also affect their growth parameters such as height and weight.
Introduction: Shigella dysenteriae is a gram-negative bacterium that causes bacillary dysentery or shigellosis. Dysentery, caused by Shigella dysenteriae, is a disease in poor and crowded communities and as an occupational disease can be contracted in workplaces such as agriculture, animal husbandry, tanning, hospital staff and patients. Mint with the scientific name of Mentha, in addition to medicinal use, it is used as a flavoring in the production of various food products.
Methods: In this study, after collecting and drying the plant leaves, the essential oil was extracted by water distillation (Hydro distillation) by Clevenger apparatus and the essential oil compounds were identified by GC-MS. Took place. The antimicrobial effects of essential oil were determined by MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) & MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration). Then, 0.1 cc of the effective concentration of essential oil was injected, with insulin syringe, to the infected rats with shigellosis for 7 days.
Results: In the disk diffusion method MIC, at 0.6 % concentration of essential oil, the diameter of the growth inhibition zone was 15 mm. The minimum bactericidal concentration was observed at 0.6 % concentration of essential oil. In an animal test, after 7 days of intraperitoneal injection in rats, the infection of S. dysenteriae was almost zero.
