“…Pishgar et al reported that there is no significant relationship between happiness and women's occupation (19). Shamsy et al revealed that there is no association between happiness and income (8). It seems that higher education is associated with higher employment rate and income, which results in more happiness.…”

Background: Happiness can influence on the psychological well-being and physical health of pregnant women. Mood swings during pregnancy affect attachment to the child and negative emotions are associated with increased risk of low birth weight, early delivery, and failure in breastfeeding. Objective: This study aimed to assess the happiness and its predictor variables among pregnant women. Methods: This study was conducted on 480 pregnant women referred to AL-Zahra teaching hospital in Rasht (Iran) in 2018. The study employed a questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic characteristics and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by IBM-SPSS version 21, using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test, ANOVA and multiple linear regression. Results: A total of 88 (18.3%) women had low happiness level, 314 (65.4%) moderate level, and 78 (16.3%) high level of happiness. Their happiness had a significant association with age (p=0.001), education (p=0.041), occupation (p=0.029), marital satisfaction (p=0.001), husband's education (p=0.003), monthly income (p=0.001), order of pregnancy (p=0.001), planned pregnancy (p=0.001), abortion history (p=0.003), comorbid disease (p=0.032), and family support (p=0.001). Out of these factors, marital satisfaction (B=0.205), planned pregnancy (B=0.374), and monthly income (B=0.359) were identified to explain the variance in independent variables in pregnant women. Conclusion: By identification of the predictors of happiness, obstetricians and midwives can improve the happiness level of pregnant women by providing information and eliminating unnecessary worries.

“…Age as an effective factor on happiness has shown different effects. For example, in the study of Shamsy et al (8), mothers under the age of 20 years had the lowest level of happiness, and those aged over 40 years had the highest happiness level. Malhotra et al found that older age decreases the level of happiness from 77.3% to 69% (9).…”

“…A week after seed germination, saplings were transferred into individual plastic disposable cup containing same ratio of coco-dust and vermicompost for hardening. It was done to reduce plant stress and stimulate adaptation mechanism which enhances the plant growth and productivity in the aquaponics (Masrufa et al, 2016).…”

Aquaponics is one of the most effective, water-efficient, self-fertilizing, and eco-friendly technologies for organic food production. In this system, plant nutrients instigate from the fish feed and fish waste. The objective of the current study was to assess and compare the plant growth and fish production in different fish stocking densities in aquaponics. Four different densities were tested for the study, such as 2.94 (T1), 3.92 (T2), 4.90 (T3), and 5.88 (T4) kg m -3 tilapia with an initial length of 16.8±0.17 cm and a weight of 72.6±5.14 g, respectively. The tilapia were fed with commercial floating feed twice daily at 3% body weight. Sampling of fish and plant growth parameters were carried out fortnightly, whereas, water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH were measured weekly, and electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate were measured fortnightly. The data interpretation showed that pH, ammonia, nitrite, EC, and TDS were significantly increased with the increasing fish densities. On the other hand, except Zn, Fe and Mn, all other nutrients of the fish tanks were significantly increased with the fish densities in the treatments. The first flower and pod appearance were observed in T3 at 39.33±4.03 and 44.06±4.09 days, respectively those were significantly the lowest with the fish density of 4.90 kg m -3. The highest and the lowest cowpea production were 4.61±0.88 and 2.50±0.71 kg m -2 in T3 and T4, respectively. However, the highest fish production was 14.76±0.71 kg m -3 in T4, although T3 performed better in the case of other components, where most of the fish growth parameters were statistically similar among the treatments. Moreover, almost all the proximate compositions of cowpea and fish were statistically similar except that the moisture content in the tilapia and ash content in cowpea were significantly different. The study showed that the stocking density of the tilapia of 4.90 kg m -3 resulted in higher production of cowpea by maintaining good water quality for the plant compared to the other stocking densities.
