Abstract
Aim: The present study investigated the relationship between religiosity (religious orientation) and vitality and mental health in male and female prisoners of North Khorasan Province, Iran.
Methods: 130 of 200 male and female prisoners were selected as sample size, and religiosity questionnaires were distributed among them (Intrinsic-extrinsic religious belief in this study was measured by Religious Orientation Scale, developed by Allport Regression test was used to analyze the data gathered in this study.
Findings: the research finding showed a significant relationship between religious orientation and mental health and vitality of prisoners, which means that the relationship between mental health and being religious is stronger than the relationship between vitality and being religious. In other words, the more is religiosity, the less are symptoms, and as a result, the more are mental health and vitality. The results showed that the proportion of mental health and vitality of males was larger than females. Also the proportion of religiosity among females was larger than males.
Conclusion: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between religious orientation and the mental health of prisoners.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the antioxidant properties of mustard seed sprout extract extracted with acetone and methanol in interpretation by ultrasound method and the effect of using the said extracts on the oxidative stability of soybean oil. The antioxidant properties of the extracts were evaluated by evaluating all the phenolic compounds, the free radical power and also the power of the reviving agents, and the stability of the oil samples containing the extract after baking at 25 degrees centigrade in daytime temperature, fifth. The 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th preservatives were evaluated by performing tests to determine the anisidine number, peroxide number, oxidative stability index, and thiobarturic acid index. The design was carried out in a completely random format with three replications. The results were analyzed with Duncan's method at a significance level of 0.05%. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between total phenolic compounds, free radical power, and iron reduction power of methanolic and acetone extracts of mustard seed sprouts (p≥0.05). However, mustard extract extracted by ultrasound had the highest level of phenolic content, free radical scavenging power and also reducing power (p≥0.05).

Abstract
Introduction: Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) has shown promise in enhancing post-stroke patients' neural plasticity and functional abilities. However, determining the optimal protocol for this method remains an open question. Our study proposes a novel approach: synchronized stimulation that combines mechanical and electrical stimuli. We hypothesize that this approach will enhance tactile localization ability in post-stroke patients.
Methods: We recruited a total of 23 patients and conducted four different types of experiments involving periodic mechanical stimulation on their fingertips. The primary objective was to assess the participant's ability to localize the location of the mechanical stimulation accurately. In one experiment, only mechanical stimulation was administered. Electrical stimulations were combined with mechanical stimulation in the remaining three experiments. The electrical stimulations comprised of one of the following protocols: (1) (tES) pulses administered solely for the initial five seconds of the session, (2) continuous (tES) pulses throughout the entire duration of the mechanical stimulation, and (3) (tES) pulses synchronized precisely with the timing of the mechanical stimulation.
Results: A noteworthy enhancement in tactile localization ability was observed when the electrical and mechanical stimulations were synchronized.
Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that the integration of electrical brain stimulation with simultaneous mechanical stimulation of the fingertips resulted in enhanced neural activities. This synchronized integration holds the potential to improve perception and may serve as a vital approach in the treatment of post-stroke patients.
