Recycling wastewaters as irrigation and fertilization of tree species is a market-driven action for purpose-grown timber plantations that promotes the circular economy. A greenhouse experiment was carried out to investigate the performance of poplar clones (Populus alba L. "20/45", P.

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the correlation between organizational ethics and professional ethics with organizational commitment and job burnout in nursing staff.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the nurses working in Shahid Montazeri hospital in Najafabad city.
This research aimed to ascertain the growth, biomass, and phytoremediation capacity of poplars and willow cultivated using wastewater in a hydroponic system. The cuttings were exposed to two water treatments for eight weeks: (1) tap water supply with 1/4 strength Hoagland's solution (TW) as a control and (2) urban raw wastewater with 1/4 strength Hoagland's solution (WW) in a completely randomized experimental design and growth parameters and nutrient and heavy metal content distribution in various plant tissues were assessed. Our results suggest that compared with the TW, seven studied species/clones revealed an increase in growth and biomass parameters (stem height by 16.

Reusing wastewaters from urban communities can meet some requirements for irrigation and fertilization of tree plantations in arid environments, leading to sustainable wastewater recycling, enhanced biomass production, and reduced land degradation. The objective of this study was to test the growth, biomass, nutrition, and heavy-metal accumulation of poplars [ L.

In the post-transcriptional regulation, miRNA interacts with the 3'-UTR of mRNAs and prevents their translation. This prevention or dysregulation can be a cause of pathological conditions like diabetic complications.

The proliferation and differentiation of CSCs result in heterogeneity in a tumor which increases the chance of tumor survival and invasion. Many signaling pathways are abnormally activated or repressed in CSCs.

Objectives: Long-term exposure to stress leads to memory deficits and certain mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. We aimed to study the effect of gallic acid (GA) on chronic restraint stress (CRS) induced anxiety and memory deficits in male BALB/c mice.
Materials And Methods: Ninety male BALB/c mice were assigned to nine groups including caged control (CC): food-water deprived (FWD), under chronic restraint stress (CRS), CRS+ gallic acid (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg), and gallic acid (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg).
Background And Objective: Today, the role of oxidative stress in development of schizophrenia has gained attention. Also, some atypical antipsychotic agents showed antioxidant properties. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the level of oxidative stress parameters between patients treated with perphenazine, clozapine and risperidone and their relationship with schizophrenia symptoms' severity.
