What has formed the main purpose of the current research is the analysis of a mysterious field of knowledge called common sense. This research, in fact, has determined the contemplation of an epistemic field as its fundamental goal which should be considered as the opposite side of the scientific knowledge field. Since this opposition is based on the specific epistemology and methodology of each of these fields, the upcoming research has disclosed common sense from two epistemological and methodological aspects. This research has shown that the aforementioned field of knowledge has such bonds with interference, entanglement and ambiguity that any kind of epistemologically disclosure of it should always pay attention that it is faced with the embodiment of indeterminability, uncertainty and undecidability. The current research, in addition, has shown that what should be counted as the turning point of the methodological disclosure of common sense is the authority of this epistemic domain in a form of human being that prefers people over things.

Various methodologies have been proposed for phenomenology as a qualitative research method. This diversity can be divided into two main approaches: descriptive phenomenology and hermeneutic phenomenology. In this article, while emphasizing the inseparable link between philosophy and method in phenomenology, an attempt is made to explore the philosophical foundations of hermeneutic phenomenology and to trace this link in the research process. Accordingly, we first refer to the historical contexts of the emergence of phenomenology, and clarify the relationship between hermeneutic phenomenology and descriptive phenomenology, then Through the discussion of the views of Heidegger and Gadamer, it is shown that philosophical foundations in the method of hermeneutic phenomenology play an active role throughout the research process and give structure and direction to how we deal with issues and problems in research. Openness to the phenomenon and being in constant dialogue with it, is the most important feature of this method that as a praxis, from the moment of choosing the subject and encountering the research literature and theories to collecting and analyzing data and writing the research, it is always present and guides in the research.

Introduction: The role of information technology in smart schools in recent years with the prevalence of epidemics is one of the most controversial and challenging study topics. The aim of this study was to Identify factors influencing the smart schools in order to protect public health against epidemics diseases. Methods: The present study was conducted following the interpretive paradigm and with a qualitative approach. The statistical population of the study included senior managers and implementers of projects related to information technology, experts and smart managers of Tehran schools in 2020-2021. 16 of the above individuals were purposefully selected and participated in the study.Interviews were used to collect data using open and semi-structured questions. Acceptability, transferability and confirmability were confirmed for the validity of the study. For reliability, the validity of the encodings was checked and verified. Finally, the data were analyzed by content analysis method and using coding method. Results: 221 open codes were extracted and after aggregating the codes, 43 sub-themes and 5 main themes were identified as effective factors on school intelligence. Conclusions: The findings indicate that the factors affecting the intelligence of schools in order to maintain community health include learning and teaching materials, processes, users, information technology and digital literacy. It is suggested that these factors be used as a framework for smartening schools, to maintain the health of a compatible community to address the challenges in the country's education system.

The effects of grazing rest on rangelands are different in different climates and knowledge of these effects is necessary to apply a correct management. For this purpose, this study was carried out on the Vegetation Cover (VC) and Forage Production (FP) of range species as a model of steppe rangelands of Iran at the Nir Range Research Station in Yazd province, Iran. In the study area, different grazing intensities were applied until the end of the grazing season of 2006 and thereafter, the whole area was under exclusion. VC and FP were measured in each of the experimental plots once in May 2007 and again seven years later in May 2014. The results of vegetation data analysis in 2007 showed that the heavy grazing intensity applied in the past caused the reduced vegetation cover and forage production of two desirable species i.e. Salsola rigida and Stipa barbata as well as increased vegetation cover and forage production of Launaea acanthodes and increased forage production of Scariola orientalis as undesirable species. The results of vegetation data analysis in 2014 showed that the lowest VC and FP of S. rigida were recorded in the experimental plots under heavy grazing intensity. In other experimental plots, there was no significant difference in VC and FP of this species (p>0.05). There was no significant difference of VC and FP in other species and total species in different experimental plots (p>0.05). Thus, during the 7-year rest period, although the negative effect of grazing on S. barbata is resolved, it remains on S. rigida and the resulting degradation is not completely compensated during this period and needs more time. Therefore, S. barbata showed a better resistance to grazing as compared with S. rigida. According to the results, if steppe rangelands are grazed heavily in the short-term, an intermediated-term grazing rest could improve the vegetation to the previous state.

Background: Hypothermic perfusion is widely used in pediatric cardiac surgery units. The present study evaluated the effects of hypothermia severity on the serum levels of lactate during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the surgical repair of congenital heart defects in children.

This study focuses on preparing Antimony Nanoparticle Multi-walled Carbon (ANMWC) composite as an effective adsorbent and then the effect of produced composite in BPA removal from aqueous solutions was studied. ANMWC were prepared using chemical method and characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Moreover, the removal efficiency of prepared AMWCNT and Nanoparticle Multi-walled Carbon (MWCNT) in removal of Bisphenol A was investigated. Results revealed that the BPA removal efficiency by AMWCNT increased from 80 to 93 % with the increase of contact time 5 to 60 min. The maximum removal efficiency for the both adsorbents was seen at pH 7, which was 85% for MWCNT and 95% for ANMWC composite. According to the results obtained, pHzpc for both adsorbents was 7. Results showed that the adsorption process followed the pseudo-first order model with a high correlation value and BPA adsorption on MWCNT followed the Langmuir isotherm model.

Heat stress beyond the threshold level at reproductive phase inhibits rice growth as well as yield by producing more sterile spikelets in the panicle. The glass house study was conducted at Universiti Putra Malaysia during 2012 (latitude 02°59'N, longitude 101°43E' and altitude 64 m above the sea level). The growing environmental conditions were normal temperature (32+2 o C day time) and heat stress (38+2 o C day time) given to seven rice cultivars (Neda, Hovaze, Hashemi, Domsiah, Tarom, Fajr and MR219). The heat treatment was applied at the start of reproductive stage. The plants of Hashemi grown in normal temperature (32+2 o C day time) had maximum growth traits viz. plant height in Hashemi, tillers in Neda, panicle exertion in Domsiah and Tarom, flag leaf width in Hovaze. Similarly, improvement in yield components viz. higher effective tillers per hill in Hovaze and Neda, fertile spikelets per panicle in MR219, 1000 grain weight and grain yield in Neda were found grown in normal temperature. However, heat stress (38+2 o C) inhibited all the growth and yield components by producing less effective tillers, 1000 grain weight and higher number of sterile spikelets. In conclusion, indigenous MR219 and exotic Neda produced high grain yield in normal growing conditions and Hovaze in heat stress condition.

The main purpose of this study is determining the difference between the incidence of ANA positivity and its patterns in healthy children and children suffering from rheumatologic diseases such as: SLE, JRA, etc in a tertiary pediatric center from 2013 to 2014.In this study we compared 100 healthy and 100 patient children by indirect Immunofluorescence antibody determining method. Then the positivity of ANA and its patterns-if positive-compared between healthy and patient children suffering from various rheumatologic diseases.From 100 patient children 3 had SLE and ANA was positive in 2 of them. 51 of the children had JRA that 35 had positive ANA results. There were 46 children suffering from other rheumatologic diseases and ANA was positive in 34 of them. Among 100 healthy children 34 of them had positive ANA test. The difference between ANA positivity and its patterns in children suffering from SLE, JRA and other rheumatologic diseases and healthy children was meaningful. The difference between incidence of ANA positivity in different ages was meaningful. The incidence of ANA positivity was 73.7 % in boys and 67.44% in girls.The difference between the incidence of ANA positivity and its patterns in patient children and healthy ones was meaningful-as presumed earlier.
