Basic Screening Survey is an epidemiologic index for determination of caries prevalence. The aim of this study was assessment of Caries Free prevalence in 6, 12 & 15- year old school children in Kerman during 5 years. Methods: In this cross-sectional, descriptive –analytic study, 15369 school children aged 6, 12 &15 years old were selected by multistage sampling method. Data collection was done through clinical examination and a questionnaire. Clinical examination was performed with use of the ball-point explorer and dentistry mirror. The questionnaire included the age, sex, parent's educational level, tooth brushing and dental visit frequency. Data were analyzed by t and χ 2 tests. Results: Mean Caries Free prevalence in female and male subjects were respectively 17.8% and 15.6% (in 6 year old group), 24.5% and 24.1% (in 12 year old group) and 21.5% and 25.3% (in 15 year old group). There was a statistically significant relationship between caries free prevalence and age so that, in 6 year-old student's caries free was more prevalent than other age groups. Conclusion: The Caries Free index in 6, 12 & 15- year old school children of Kerman was lower than WHO standards. Kerman University of Medical SciencesHealth and Development Journal2783-28214120150501Evaluation of Noise Pollution Levels due to Four-wheel Harvesting Machines in Bystanders and Machine Drivers91187ENRezaHosseinpourKazemJafari NaeimiMohammad RezaGhotbi RavandiJournal Article20200824Background: One of the most widely used equipments in harvesting hay and grains are four wheel mowers. The aim of the present study was to determine the levels of noise exposure in drivers and bystanders in different states, speeds and gear of four wheel mowers (BCS Model 622). Methods: The ISO 5131 and ISO 6814 standards were used to assess noise exposure in drivers and bystanders, respectively. Experiments were done in totally randomized block models in the form of 2 × 3 × 4 factorials (2 moving blade conditions, 3 states of various motor rpm’s and 4 gear states) and three repetitions. Sound pressure levels were measured both at the driver’s ear level and the bystanders. In conditions where in the level of exposure was above permissible noise limits, octave band analysis was performed. Data analysis was performed in Excel and SPSS 16. Results: Drivers were exposed to noise pollution higher than the permissible level (according to the ACGIH standards) at 3000 rpm. Factors affecting noise level exposure in the driver and bystander included engine speed, gear ratio and cutting blade speeds and were all significant at the 0.01 level. Conclusion: Routive use of harvesting machines leads to adverse auditory effects. This fact highlights the necessity of controlling noise emission from this machine through engineering, technical and managemental practices.Kerman University of Medical SciencesHealth and Development Journal2783-28214120150501The Relationship of Playing Computer Games with Aggression and Academic Achievement: a study on Kerman students91188ENHedayatTirgarFatemehBalali MeybodiMehdiHassaniJournal Article20200824Background: The rapid growth of computer games, has taken a major part of teenagers leisure time. The improper and overuse of these games, can be considered as physical, mental and social threats. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between playing computer games and students’ aggression and academic progress. Methods: In this cross- sectional study, 292 students in grade 3 of Kerman middle schools were selected through multistage sampling method. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire as well as Buss & Perry Questionnaires. Data analysis was done through SPSS20 and using t-test, chi-square and ANOVA. Results: Mean aggression score was 77.71±18.25. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between academic progress and aggression in users of computer games. Weak students had a higher mean aggression score. Agression showed significant relationshipwith playing computer games (P=0.004), duration of playing (P<0.001) and the type of game (P=0.003). Users who had played more than one hour during a day and aggressive and military games showed higher mean aggression score, but there was no significant relationship between academic progress and variables of playing computer games, the type and duration of playing. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, planning strategies and policies for the purpose of optimum use of technology as a modern co-educational media seems to be required. Also using measures for designing educational games that can increase the creativity and the ability of problem solving is suggested.Kerman University of Medical SciencesHealth and Development Journal2783-28214120150501Human contamination with organochlorine pesticides in Iran: A systematic review91189ENMahmoodMoosazadeh0000-0002-5452-514XNargesKhanjani0000-0002-7235-9253Journal Article20200824Background: The presence of organochlorine pesticides in the environment is a serious threat to human health and requires continuous monitoring. Therefore, in the present systematic review, the residual amount of different organochlorine pesticides in human samples has been investigated. Methods: All accessible databases in English and Farsi were searched by using organochlorine and related pesticides keywords in Farsi databases including SID, Iranmedex, magiran and Medlib and English databases including PubMed and Google Scholar. All articles which had evaluated one of the organochlorine pesticides were included. Data including the research data, sample size, location, biologic sample, pesticide type and the amount of organochlorine pesticide measured were extracted. Results: A total of 17 documented cases were extracted from 10 primary studies in which mean residual organochlorine pepticides in human had been determined. The studied samples were 5 samples of pregnant women's hair, 10 samples of maternal milk, and 2 samples of fat tissue. The residual amount of DDT and its isomers, BHC and its isomers, HCH and its isomers, HCB, Heptachlor epoxide, dieldrin and Lindane were recorded for the studied samples. Conclusion: This review showed that human exposure to organochlorine pesticides has been significant in Iran.
