“…The results of this study with respect to the effect of yoga exercise on sleep quality are in accordance with those by (Cohen, Warneke, Fouladi, Rodriguez, & Chaoul-Reich, 2004;Halpern, et al, 2014;Taibi & Vitiello, 2011). This finding is also consistent with results of some previous findings that yoga could improve healthy, community-dwelling older adults (Chen, et al, 2009), insomnia (Sobana, PaRthaSaRathy, DuRaiSamy, JaiganeSh, & Vadivel, 2013). However, in addition, further study might be focused on effectiveness of yoga exercise on broadening areas of health and some chronic diseases of the elderly.…”

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Yoga practicing on sleep quality of older adults. In this study, eighty subjects were recruited at age 55 to 65 (60.5 ± 4.2). Subjects were divided into two groups, Yoga and Control. Participants in Yoga groups practiced 60 minutes/day and 3 sessions/weeks. Participants in Control group maintained daily activities and not doing any exercise program. Sleep quality is measured by The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). After 6 months of Yoga practicing, the participants in Yoga group showed significantly better performances in comparison with those of Control group in the sleep patterns with p value ≤ .05.

“…Better removal efficiency of BBG dye after one hour over composite was around 82% while it was around 68% over neat ZnO 31,32 .This significant enhancement in dye removal over composite can be attributed to the synergistic effect of triazole-PVC and ZnO. Besides that, presence of triazole-PVC particles in this composite can reduce recombination reaction between conduction band electrons ( e -CB ) and valence band holes (h + VB ) by increasing separation between these species 33 .For neat ZnO, recombination reaction occurs with high rate which leads to reduce the efficiency of the photocatalytic process. For composite, these species can migrate to the surface and then participate in redox reactions with the pre-adsorbed species on the surface of the coposite 34 .…”

The present study involves synthesis a composite of triazole-poly vinyl chloride (PVC) polymer with nano-crystalline zinc oxide to yield triazole-PVC/ZnO. The produced composite was characterized using fouier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Rays diffraction (XRD) and micro-elemental analysis (CHN). The activity of the produced composite with respect to neat zinc oxide was investigated by following both of adsorption and photocatalytic removal of Bismarck Brown G (BBG)dye from their aqueous solutions. The obtained results in this study showed that triazole-PVC/ZnO was more efficient than neat ZnO on dye removal for both of adsorption and photocatalytic reaction.

IntroductionWomen with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) show majority of symptoms, particularly during luteal phase, regularly every month. These symptoms are classified into 3 emotional (EM), physical (PHY) and behavioral (BE) categories (1). The common symptoms of PMS are: bloating, breast tenderness, headache, frequent urination, loss of appetite, insomnia, irritability, depression, lack of energy and increased or decreased of libido (1,2). Andrew et al (3) have shown that patients with PMS have lower work performance (27.5%), impaired working relationships (23.1%), disputation with their husbands (8.82%), relationship problems with their children (6%) and social relationship problems (41%). PMS interferes with the life of patients directly by treatment expenditures and indirectly by inefficient working hours, absenteeism and productivity (4) and requires cure and management (5). Routinely, women with PMS use pharmacological (1) and non-pharmacological approaches (6) to decrease the severity of PMS symptoms. Whereas, prescribed medications (alprazolam, progesterone, fluoxetine and gonadotropin releasing hormone) have shown side effects such as exhaustion, insomnia, headaches, menstrual dysfunction, decreased sexual ability, nausea and vomiting (1,(7)(8)(9). Recently, yoga as a safe treatment has also been introduced (10).Yoga is a Sanskrit word, meaning connection of the mind, body, emotions, logic and attention to the action. Yoga exercise is composed of physical (Asana), breathing (Pranayama) and mental (Pratt Hara) practices, resulting in health, relaxation and positive awareness. Yoga stretching practices with deep breathing and meditation strengthens muscles and protects the spine and joints of body (11). Evidences indicated that physical and mental health benefits of yoga occur through negative moderation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in association with sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Yoga exercise, negatively, via vagal nerves, regulates secretion of hormones (cortisol, glucose, plasma ҆ s renin, epinephrine and norepinephrine) into the bloodstream which are responsible for body functions (10). Yoga reduces the negative effects of induced stress to immune system by regulating positively the adjustment of immunoglobulin A (12). Additionally, yoga exercise reduces harmful inflammatory secretions, which make women with PMS, comfortable. Studies in India have shown positive impacts of yoga exercise on women with PMS on decreasing heart beats, blood pressure and anxiety (6,13). AbstractObjectives: Women with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) show emotional, physical and behavioral symptoms regularly every month. Mild physiological symptoms of PMS appear in 95% of women at their reproductive age. We hypothesized to evaluate the effect of yoga exercise on PMS. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted from April to October of 2015. Eligible women for inclusion were selected conveniently from women that had randomly referred to selected private obstetrics and gynecology clini...
