Background: The modern increase in mechanical and sedentary lifestyles has led to a rise in musculoskeletal abnormalities within society. These physical irregularities may influence individual mental health.Aim: This study explores the correlation between upper body musculoskeletal abnormalities and mental health among female students at Payame Noor University, Bushehr.Material and Methods: A total of 173 female students were selected via convenience sampling for this cross-sectional study. The presence of scoliosis, forward head posture, kyphosis, and increased lordosis was assessed using a flexible ruler, the New York Test, a chessboard, and a scoliometer. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were also measured. Participants completed the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28). Statistical analysis was conducted using one-sample t-tests and Pearson’s correlation coefficient, with a significance threshold set at P< 0.05.Results: The findings indicated that lordosis was significantly more prevalent among students aged 15 to 24 (t=31.5, P= 0.001) and those aged 25 and above (t=57.3, P= 0.003), compared to societal norms. Other assessed abnormalities were within normal ranges. Mental health vulnerabilities were noted in specific domains; however, no significant correlation was found between mental health status and the physical abnormalities studied.Conclusion: While lordosis was notably more common among the study's participants than in the general population, the incidence of other musculoskeletal abnormalities aligned with societal averages. No substantial impact of these physical conditions on mental health was observed. It is advisable to integrate educational initiatives and corrective exercise programs into the curriculum for educators, coaches, and students to promote overall well-being.

Background: Rapid modern world changes have impacted efforts to educate children with abilities and skills suitable for societal goals. Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of active video games and selected movement games on children’s physical literacy and self-concept. Materials and Methods: Sixty 8-12-year-old children from Ahvaz City were selected and assigned into three experimental and one control groups. Physical literacy and self-concept were assessed in pretest. The active video game group played Xbox Kinect bowling, athletics, tennis, soccer, volleyball, basketball games. The selected movement game group played researcher-designed games. The mixed game group engaged in both activities over 12 video and 12 movement game sessions for 8 weeks, with 30-minute per session. Data were analyzed by MANOVA and student t-test. Results: The results showed that active video games and selected movement games influenced children’s physical literacy and self-concept. Further, significant differences were found between the experimental groups' physical literacy and self-concept outcomes. The selected movement game and mixed game groups performed better in these measures than other groups. Conclusion: Results suggest parents and teachers consider implementing the selected movement games and active video games to bolster physical literacy and self-concept in children.

Introduction: Arbitration has a contractual nature and is subject to the sovereignty of the will of the parties, but in some cases, the legislator imposed the referral of claims to arbitration on the will of the parties and caused the contractual nature of the arbitration clause to disappear or be limited. By doing this, he has placed the arbitration outside the will of the parties. This issue causes some moral conflicts in the discussion of compulsory arbitration. Therefore, this research has been done with the purpose of examining the position of compulsory arbitration in Iran's legal system and the ethical challenges in it with a descriptive-analytical approach. Material and Methods: The research was a review method, in order to achieve the goal of the research, in addition to electronic education books and virtual education in this field, articles related to the research keywords from 2004 to 2022 from the databases of Civilica, Magiran, Sid, Researchgate, Science direct, was reviewed Conclusion: Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that compulsory arbitration in Iran has ethical challenges in the field of implementation and interpretation, the most important of which is the issue of the right to action and judicial justice. In the context of ambiguities in mandatory arbitration, even if the method of arbitration becomes ambiguous, the arbitrator has the duty to find out the will of the legislator with the principles and rules of interpretation, which creates a moral conflict for the arbitrator.

Introduction: Independence or autonomy is one of the fundamental rights of patients, which must be observed by health activists in all medical interventions and diagnostic and treatment measures. Considering the importance of patient autonomy in the field of health, the present study examines the violation of this ethical principle during pandemics. Material and Methods: The present study is a review study in which the researcher examined the articles related to the keywords of the present study that were published in Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Springer databases from 2015 to 2023. Conclusion: In the conditions of spread of the disease, the health system is forced to violate the principle of patients' autonomy in order to fulfill its moral and legal duty in protecting the health of the society. Although it seems that violating the principle of respecting the patient's right to autonomy in the conditions of spreading the disease is morally justified. However, completely ignoring this right and arbitrarily restricting it without citing sufficient evidence, in addition to violating the basic rights of the patient, has also damaged the public trust and social capital of the health system. And this institution will face problems in achieving its big goals and attracting people's participation.
