Abstract
Introduction: Having cognitive flexibility enables people to not only cope better with stressful situations, but also have less stress and have more ability to cope with problems. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of treatment of acceptance and commitment and existentialism therapy on increasing psychological flexibility in the elderly.
Methods: The current research method is semi-experimental and its design is pre-experimental-post-experimental with control group. The statistical population of the present study included all members of the Bojnourd Retirement Association in 2020, who were at least 60 years old. The sample size in this study included 45 people, first by targeted sampling and random substitution in three experimental groups 1 [15]. Individual], experimental group 2 [15 people] and control group [15 people] were included. The research instrument was the Dennis and Vanderwall Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire [2010]. Acceptance and commitment therapy packages were administered in 8 sessions of 90-minute and existential therapy in 10 sessions of 90-minute for intervention groups. Data using descriptive statistics [mean and standard deviation] and inferential statistics [analysis of covariance And follow-up test] were analyzed. Data analysis was performed using SPSS statistical analysis software version 22.
Results: Acceptance and commitment-based and existential therapeutic package were effective in increasing participants' cognitive flexibility. Also, in terms of comparison between the two treatments, there was a slight difference in the cognitive flexibility variable, but this amount of difference between the two treatment approaches was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Acceptance and commitment-based therapy package and existential therapy in 8 and 10 sessions of 90 minutes, respectively, were able to increase cognitive flexibility in the elderly. Therefore, it seems that performing such interventions in turn can provide the basis for improving performance in the elderly in most issues and areas of social and psychological life.

Abstract
Introduction: The reduction of inequality in the utilization of resources and facilities of society is considered one of the most important criteria of development. The present study aimed to investigate equality in the distribution of human resources in the health sector in North Khorasan province (by the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve) in 2020.
Method: This study was conducted based on a descriptive-analytical design. The study population included human resources in the health sector. Data were collected from the national portal of the Statistical Center of Iran and the population yearbook of the province using a researcher-made form. Data were analyzed in STATA (version 12) and DASP (version 2.2) software packages.
Results: For every 10,000 people, 55.3 human resources were working in the health sector of North Khorasan province. Human health resources are distributed equally in this province. The Gini coefficient for all human health resources, except nurses and specialists, was less than 0.2, indicating complete equality in the distribution of resources. The lowest coefficient value was related to general practitioners (0.052), and the highest Gini coefficient pertained to specialized physicians (0.422), pointing to a relative inequality in the distribution of specialized physicians.
Conclusion: The removal of inequalities in human resources in the health sector in different regions can result in the promotion of equality in health outcomes. Therefore, it is suggested that policymakers and senior health system managers take effective measures to improve justice in access to human resources

Abstract
Fasting is one of the most important Islamic acts of worship ordered by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), the great Imams, and Muslim philosophers. It has a tremendous effect on various aspects of human beings, including physical and mental health, cholesterol level control, and triglyceride level control. Moreover, it alleviates the dimensions of depression, psychosis, anxiety, obsession, interpersonal sensitivity, phobia, hostility, and paranoid thoughts. One of the most important effects of fasting on the human body is its influence on the immune system function. Significantly, it has been found that inflammatory biomarkers, such as IL-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP), are suppressed considerably by short- and long-term intermittent fasting. In overweight adults, calorie restriction (CR) improves clinical findings for patients with moderate asthma, reduces oxidative and inflammatory stress markers, and minimizes metabolic disease risk markers.

Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the depression of MS patients based on behavioral-brain systems mediated by cognitive flexibility, cognitive avoidance, and anxiety in the form of a causal model.
Method: The present study was a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all MS patients in Mashhad, Iran. Considering 20 people for each parameter of the model, 300 people were selected according to the suggestion of Schuman, Bolton, and Short (2017), which increased to 350 people by the cluster random sampling method due to the possibility of dropout. Data were collected through standard tools: Beck depression (1972), Carver and White (1994) behavioral-brain system, cognitive flexibility of Dennis Wonderwall (2010), Sexton and Dougas (2004) cognitive avoidance, and Pennsylvania concern. The structural modeling method and AMOS software (version 21) were used to analyze the results.
Results: The results showed that the activating behavioral-brain system and cognitive flexibility had a negative and significant relationship with depression in MS cases. Moreover, the inhibitory behavioral-brain system, cognitive avoidance, and anxiety had a positive and significant relationship with depression. The standardized indirect effect of activating behavioral systems on depression was also significant, and the inhibitory system had a significant indirect effect on cognitive flexibility, cognitive avoidance, and anxiety. The activating behavioral system can negatively predict depression, and the inhibitory behavioral system can positively predict depression.
Conclusion: According to the findings, behavioral-brain systems can predict 0.36 of depressive changes in MS patients due to cognitive flexibility, cognitive avoidance, and anxiety.

Abstract
Introduction: A dog is an animal that is usually kept as a pet and is often allowed to live indoors. However, the issue of the uncleanliness of dogs is an important matter of jurisprudence, and it is necessary to understand the ruling on their uncleanliness. Some people argue that considering dogs unclean is against their rights. The respectful treatment of such issues, especially for those who are not qualified to comment on religious issues, has raised doubts and uncertainties about the nature of certain religious tenets. On the other hand, the hadiths (traditions) of the infallibles clearly mention the uncleanliness of dogs. In the field of medical parasitology, dogs play an important role in the transmission of parasitic diseases such as hydatid cysts and toxocara.
Method: This descriptive-analytical study aims to investigate the views of religious jurists on the uncleanliness of dogs and the effects of dogs on human health from a medical -parasitological and Islamic perspective.
Results: According to the sciences of medical parasitology and Islam, the dog has a great impact on the pathogenesis of human diseases mediated by contact with the feces and urine of this animal.
Conclusion: In accordance with religious traditions about dogs, their impurity is indisputable. Many parasitic diseases in humans, such as hydatid cysts, toxocara, etc., can be transmitted to humans through the feces of dogs. Therefore, the uncleanliness of dogs is also important in terms of health and Islamic rules.
