Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) as a non-invasive indicator measures the activity level of the autonomic nervous system. Exercise has significant positive effects in increasing HRV indicators, which ultimately leads to cardiovascular health. People with panic disorder (PD) generally have low HRV indices and are more exposed to cardiovascular risks. Aim: The aim of the present study is investigating the effect of 12 weeks of hiking training on HRV of women with PD. Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental clinical trial, 18 women with PD with average panic scores (45.00±19.55) as determined by Albany Panic and Phobia Questionnaire (APPQ) in two training group (12 weeks of hiking training with 70% to 80% MHR, three sessions a week, each one an-hour, and control group (without any regular physical activity) participated randomly. HRV of subjects was measured by Holter monitoring device (with 7 leads VX3+ SN 17570 made in USA) while resting and lying back for 20 min before and after 12 weeks. Results: The results of covariance analysis showed that panic scores (P≤0.001) and HRV factors including: SDNN (P≤0.05), SDNN index (P≤ 0.01) and TP (P≤0.03) of the subjects in the training group improved significantly but HF, LF, LF/HF, did not show significant changes (P≥0.05). Conclusion: It seems that 12 weeks of hiking training improves some of the HRV indices of women, which prevents the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and also reduces the symptoms of panic in women.

The dominant thought in the Western environment laid the necessary foundations for the formation of Western civilization. In fact, the Renaissance's approach to God, humanity, and the surrounding environment gradually caused profound changes in human lifestyles at various levels, eventually replacing the traditional, meaning-oriented relationship between humans and their surroundings with a modern, meaning-deficient one. This study presents a critique of Western civilization from the perspective of Mahdist teachings. The article is written using a descriptive and analytical approach. Today, the West faces numerous challenges at various levels, to the extent that, according to Western thinkers, these issues were not resolved even with the emergence of postmodernism. This is because the civilizational system, grounded in Renaissance thought, adopts a materialistic worldview and denies the unseen in its perception of God, self, and existence.

Companies pay attention to the value level of financial flexibility in making decisions related to optimizing investments and applying their net working capital policies. This issue will make profitable investment opportunities for companies more efficient and enable companies to gain more efficiency, as well as apply more optimal policies to keep cash. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of financial flexibility value and financial constraint on the speed of adjustment of net working capital, as well as the effect of financial constraint on the relationship between the value of financial flexibility and the speed of adjustment of net working capital in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The appropriate pattern recognition test in combined data indicates the use of the regression model of the research using the panel data method with the fixed and random effects approach for the panel and pooled data patterns to estimate the regression model. The statistical sample includes 100 companies accepted to the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period from 2005 to 2020. The findings indicate that the value of financial flexibility has a positive and significant effect on the speed of adjustment of net working capital in the models of partial adjustments and error correction. Financial constraint has a positive and significant effect on the speed of net working capital adjustment, and it also has a positive and significant effect on the relationship between the value of financial flexibility and the speed of net working capital adjustment.
