AI has the potential to play a crucial part in the technologies which are defined by theory, method, or approach that assists machines, especially computers, in performing analysis, simulation and exploration of human thought processes and behaviors (3). With enhanced capabilities of problem solving and decision making, it's not far that AI shall reach every field and even every aspect of the human life (4).

Among all endogenic factors, biological sub-factors are the significant predictors of happiness. Existence of significant differences in temperament and happiness of infants is an indicator of biological influences. Therefore, this study aimed to consider biological factors that underlie happiness. At the first, all of the biological factors in relation with happiness were searched from following websites: PubMed, Wiley& Sons, Science direct (1990-2014). Then, the articles divided into five sub-groups (genetic, brain and neurotransmitters, endocrinology and hormones, physical health, morphology and physical attractiveness). Finally, a systematic review performed based on existing information. Results of studies on genetic factors indicated an average effectiveness of genetic about 35 -50 percent on happiness. In spite of difficulties in finding special genes, several genes distributed to emotion and mood. Neuroscience studies showed that some part of brain (e.g. amygdala, hipocamp and limbic system) and neurotransmitters (e.g. dopamine, serotonin, norepinefrine and endorphin) play a role in control of happiness. A few studies pointed to the role of cortisol and adrenaline (adrenal gland) and oxitocin (pituitary gland) in controlling happiness. Physical health and typology also concluded in most related studies to have a significant role in happiness. Therefore, according to previous research, it can be said that biological and health factors are critical in underlying happiness and its role in happiness is undeniable.

Caring for older adults requires special attention to ethical and legal issues. Nurses' unawareness in this regard would reduce patient autonomy, the quality of nursing care and finally world reduce nursing professional credentials. The aim of this study was assessing nurses' awareness of ethical and legal issues related to caring for older adults. Method: This study was cross-sectional descriptive. Participants were 200 nurses that worked in Hospitals in Kashan (2014-2015).Data was collected by the researcher-made questionnaire including three part, personal information, questions about ethical and legal issues related to caring for older adults and a question about factors related to nurses' ethical mistakes. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS 11.5 software. Results: The level of nurses' awareness of ethical and legal issue...

Because of services, it needs to special trust and credit. Persistence of the trust and credit and their reinforcement depend on the practical commitment to ethical instructions. The goal of this study is to consider the relation between moral reasoning, moral thoughts, moral intentions and moral inclination. Methods: Population of the study includes all formal accountants who work in Tehran. Among All subjects, 74 accountants are selected randomly as a sample. Data are collected by questionnaire and then they are analyzed by T-test and structural equation method. Results: Results show a significant positive correlation between moral reasoning and moral thinking(r=0.24) ،Significant positive relationship between moral reasoning and moral intent(r=0.22 ) and Significant positive relationship between moral reasoning and moral tendency is(0.42). Conclusion: It can be concluded that Relationship between these variables may be ...

Psychologists respect and protect civil and human rights and the central importance of freedom of inquiry and expression in research, teaching, and publication. They strive to help the public in developing informed judgments and choices concerning human behavior. In doing so, they perform many roles, such as researcher, educator, diagnostician, therapist, supervisor, consultant, administrator, social interventionist, and expert witness. Ethics code provides a common set of principles and standards upon which psychologists build their professional and scientific work.

The aim of this study was to assess the metal ions (Iron, Zinc and Copper) and CBC in patients with AD in comparison with normal range. The samples of study were 17 patients with AD in Tehran's aging centers in 2015, selected as an access sample. Blood samples were analyzed in a pathobiology laboratory. Data were analyzed by one sample t-test. According to the normal range, provided by laboratory, there is a significant difference between zinc in patients with AD and normal reference interval (α=0.01). The comparison of CBC of the AD patients with normal group showed also some decreases. Zinc value in AD patients is significantly lower than normal range. It should be repeated by a larger sample size.

Cognitive slowing is a clear symptom observed in all depressed people. PVSAT is a measure of cognitive function that specifically assesses visual information processing speed and flexibility, as well as calculation ability. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the Paced Visual Serial Addition Test (PVSAT) might constitute a useful procedure for assessing cognitive functions in depressive disorder. Twenty - eight depressed patients, together with fourteen healthy control (HC) subjects participated in the study. All participants performed the PVSAT and a set of clinical tasks assessing information processing speed, working memory and executive functions. Compared with the HCs, the depressed patients were significantly impaired in their performance of the PVSAT. Significant impairment (compared with controls) was also evidenced by only one of the clinical tasks - the symbol coding tas...

This study was an applied research and data were analyzed by Pearson correlation procedure. Population is included all school children with Down syndrome (9-12 yr) that come from Tehran, Iran. Overall, 30 children were selected as an in access sample. After selection and agreement of parents, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) was performed to determine the student's IQ, and then mothers were invited to fill out the Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI).

Etiology of AD is not clear, but genetic factors play a major role in determining a person's risk to develop AD. Twin and family studies confirm that AD has a genetic basis. AD genetics has been split into two broad categories: early-onset and late-onset. EOAD cases are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. In this form, dominant mutations in genes like APP, PSEN-1 and PSEN-2 associated with AD. This study aimed to consider the role of genetic in AD. At the first, most of the references in relation with genetic basis of AD searched from the following web-sites: PubMed, Science direct, Wiley & Sons (1995-2014). Then, the most common genes and their affects described briefly. Aging is the most obvious risk factor for developing AD. There is a genetic basis for AD, of course this relation is not complete but it is significant. More than thousand genes studied in relation with Alzheimer's dise...

A person feels wellbeing under different effective factors. Religious dogmatism that has an influence on the entire world is one of the depreciatory factors of happiness or wellbeing. The current study decided to analyze the relation between dogmatism and wellbeing, and according to a model, answer the following question: how does religious dogmatism decrease wellbeing? Methods: This study is a correlation research. Population of study includes all people with 30–50 yr old who live in Tehran, Iran, in 2015. Among all, 180 subjects were selected as in access sample. The Oxford happiness questionnaire and Rokeach dogmatism scale were used. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation test. Results: There is a significant negative correlation between dogmatism and happiness (α=0.05). Conclusion: Dogmatism is one of the factors that have a negative effect on wellbeing. Religious dogmatism is the most dangerous factor against ...
