Background: Today, information resources play of paramount importance role in providing information and public awareness. COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease and general precautions and identifying the factors influencing the self-care behaviors play an important role in the prevention of the disease. This study aimed to assess the relationship between trust in information resources and self-care behaviors in the prevention of COVID-19 disease on faculty members, staff, or students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences between May and April 2020. Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study, conducted on 192 persons of faculty members, staff, or students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences between May and April 2020. The sampling method was census We used a valid and reliable questionnaire to assess our goals. Data on demographic variables, information resources trust and self-care behaviors to them were collected using online self-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, using Chi-square and Pearson correlation test . Results: in this study of whom 60.2% were male. The mean age was 24.18±7.97 years (range of 18 to 59). The highest levels of trust in the information resources about COVID-19 were related to articles (37.8%) and faculty information (22.2%), and the lowest ones were related to national media (27.3%) and satellite channels (25.5%). The quality of self-care behavior in females was significantly higher than males (p = 0.018). There was no significant relationship between the level of trust in any of the information resources and the quality of self-care behaviors in the prevention of COVID-19 (p>0.05). Conclusions: According to the results of this study, there was no significant relationship between the level of trust in information resources and the quality of self-care behaviors to prevent COVID-19and further investigations are needed to find possible associated factors.
Abstract. The Ordovician Sorkhband ultramafic complex lies in southern Kerman Province of Iran. The wedge shape complex covers an area of more than 100 km 2 and is divided into: lower part comprises of dunites, largest podiform chromitite deposits in Iran (Faryab mine), olivine clinopyroxenite dykes and massive's, wehrlite and olivine websterite dykes; and upper part comprises of clinopyroxene bearing harzburgites, with subordinate lenses and dykes of dunite, massive and dyke like olivine clinopyroxenite and minor orthopyroxenite dykes with no significant chromitite mineralization. Chromitite orebodies exhibit variable sizes and shapes, forming pods, lenses, bands, vein-like bodies and rich dissemination. Podiform chromitites in dunite form tabular to lenticular bodies although may occur also as pencil-like masses. The chromitites occur in four distinct textural modes. Massive, disseminated, banded and nodular chromitites are the most common textural types and commonly grade into one other. Massive chromitites have sharp contacts with the enclosing dunite whereas disseminated bodies grade outward into dunite and occasionally pass into interbanded chromitite and dunite. A detailed electron microprobe study reveals very high Cr#, Mg# and very low TiO2 contents for chromian spinels in chromitites. The Sorkhband chromitites contain up to 440 ppb total PGE, and display a systematic enrichment in IPGE relative to PPGE, with a steep negative slope in the PGE spidergrams and very low PPGE/IPGE ratios, a feature typical of ophiolitic podiform chromitites worldwide. The mineral chemistry data and PGE geochemistry of the chromitites indicates that the Sorkhband ultramafic complex was generated from an arc-related magma with boninitic affinity in a supra-subduction zone setting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
