Background And Aims: The study aimed to determine the relationship between phubbing behavior and its association with depression, anxiety, and stress among college students of the School of Rehabilitation at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey design used a self-reported questionnaire that included demographic data, DASS21, and a phubbing scale. The Generic Scale of Phubbing was administered to 320 students from four fields of school of Rehabilitation at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.
Purpose: Hyperacusis is an uncommon hearing disorder, known as increased sensitivity to daily surrounding sounds. This disorder can profoundly affect people's daily activities. The studies conducted about hyperacusis are very limited in Iran.

Squid game is a multiplayer game with two primary objectives: attackers aim to complete their goal while teams try to eliminate each other, and it is usually played on large, open fields with no set guidelines for size and dimensions. The playfield for this game is often shaped like a squid and, according to historical context, appears to be around half the size of a standard basketball court.

Twenty unconstrained mathematical test functions are utilized in different dimensions to evaluate the proposed algorithm's performance. For statistical purposes, 100 independent optimization runs are conducted to determine the statistical measurements, including the mean, standard deviation, and the required number of objective function evaluations, by considering a predefined stopping criterion.
