Abstract
Introduction: Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a Zoonosis disease. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of educational intervention on practice improvement of employees in healthcare centers and meat distribution centers of Ilam province in relation to Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever.
Materials and methods: Participants in present quasi-experimental study were 200 employees of healthcare centers and 75 workers of meat distribution centers that were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected at baseline and 6-weeks after intervention using two 38-item and 50-item questionnaires. Data were analyzed by the SPSS software. P<0.05 were considered to be statistically significant.
Results: Before the educational intervention, 20.6% of the healthcare centers employees had poor knowledge, 61.8% and 17.6% had average and good knowledge, respectively. After educational intervention, these percentages were 2%, 22.1% and 76% in that order. The workers’ knowledge level in centers of meat processing-distribution before training was 64% poor, 34.7% average, and 1.3% good but after education, the knowledge levels reached to 5.3%, 45.3% and 49.3% respectively (P<0.05). Moreover, Attitude of employees in healthcare centers and meat distribution centers significantly increased after intervention (P<0.05). But, there were not significant changes in performance of two groups before and after educational intervention
Conclusion: The results of present study showed the effect of educational intervention on improvement the knowledge, attitude of employees in healthcare and meat distribution centers. So, implementation of an educational program for employees at a wider scale could promote their health.

Abstract
Introduction: Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) suggest a highly reactive, nonspecific oxidant namely hydroxyl radical (OH•), that oxidize a wide range of pollutants fast and non-selective in wastewater and water.
Materials and methods: In this work, the nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles were primed by sol-gel method, characterized by X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), for the degradation of Acid Red 40 (AR 40) solution in water. The effectiveness of the treatment method applied for the degradation of AR 40 based on AOPs was investigated.
Results: The three various key parameters were optimized by using response surface modeling, namely: pH, TiO2-N concentration and the initial AR 40 concentrations. The optimized values were obtained at pH = 11, TiO2-N concentration = 0.09 g/L, and the initial AR 40 concentration = 19 mg/L.
Conclusion: Under the optimum conditions, performance of photocatalytic degradation reaches 92.47% in 1 hr. Kinetic constant was evaluated using first-order equation to obtain the rate constant, K.

Abstract
Introduction: Exercise training has been associated with health outcomes in diabetes, but the effect of long-term resistance training on HBA1c is largely unknown. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the effects of resistance training on lipid profile, HBA1c, and insulin in women with type 1 diabetes
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 20 women (n =10, with an average age of 54.50 ± 8.16 years, a height of 158.16 ± 5.36 cm) were randomly assigned into two control and experimental groups. A pre-test of the desired indicators (weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, fat percentage, fasting blood sugar, and glycosylated hemoglobin level) was performed for both groups. The experimental group performed a circuit resistance activity course (12 stations, 4 rounds, three days a week for 24 weeks). At the end of this period, the desired indicators were evaluated again as a post-test. To interpret the data, analysis of covariance (ANCOA) was used, considering the pre-test as a covariate.
Results: Resistance training for 24 weeks reduced LDL level (P = 0.001), TG (P = 0.001), BF (P = 0.002), WHR (P = 0.033), FBS (P = 0.001), HBA1c (P = 0.001), Insulin (P = 0.001), HOMA-IR (P = 0.001), and increased VO2max (P = 0.001) and average HDL-C (P = 0.001) in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in average BMI (P = 0.129), TG (P = 0.073), and Waist circumstance (P = 0.195) in the control and experimental groups.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, long-term resistance training improves lipid profile, HBA1c, and insulin levels in middle-aged women with type 1 diabetes.
