Abstract

This study has been conducted to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of practices in three areas of mental, physical and combined mental-physical in physical fitness of pre-university students of Rasht District 2, Iran. To conduct this study in a cross-sectional and quasi-experimental design, 120 high school students were selected by available sampling method. Three groups of 45 students were randomly chosen and evaluated based on Hall and Martin revised questionnaire. In order to measure and do physical fitness exercises 4×9 running test, sit, bar fix stretch, long paired jump and 54-meter dash were used, also measuring and recording the related scores were performed in two stages of pretest and posttest. The training program consisted of 8 sessions which the physical practice group did the exercise obviously, mental practice group did the task mentally and mental- physical group first did the task mentally and then took a physical one. To analyze the physical fitness differences between mean scores in these groups, multivariate analysis of covariance (Mankova) and Benfroni post method were applied. The result suggested that firstly mental-physical and next mental practice played a significant positive impact on students` physical fitness. Physical exercise has been the worst way. Consequently, to achieve athletic goals and progresses faster mentalphysical method can be used. This method is not only simple, easy, cheap and available, but also it psychologically places the individual in a desirable level in learning in order to participate in races.

In this study, 46 children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which referred to occupational therapy centers in Tehran, were randomly selected as the two groups of experiment and control. In addition to drug therapy and occupational therapy programs, mothers of those children received eight (2h) sessions of group training of positive parenting program and the control group did not receive the training. A post-test are performed on both of the groups after the completion. Demographic information and 48-questions (questionnaire of Conners classification scale of parents) are used and the data used by ANCOVA are applied. To review the test assumptions, covariance analysis test is used and the data are analyzed by SPSS software. The average scores of behavioral disorders decreased in post-test of related experimental group, which indicates that group training program of Sanders parenting impact, is positive. (F=5247, sig< 0.005). Hence, this model is recommended to be used as one of the training patterns to the parents to reduce behavioral disorders of ADHD children.

Abstract

After achieving information process approach and analogy between human brain and computer, the similarities between brain performance and computer were propounded. Both the systems receive the information from the environment and save it, process it and restore it as basically both of them have soft-ware and hard-ware. Humans store information in the neurons akin to the storage of computer on silicon chips. For this similarity, the ability of computer is called the artificial intelligence. In human brain, not all information always register in neurons but some of these information latter crop up as remainder as unusable computer virus and the brain by natural sleep process or in dream will refine the additional information with reverse learning. If this information does not refined, the symptoms like psychosis disease, hallucination, delusion and so on are created in human beings. Similarly, the computer virus acts on the stored information and on the main programs. These viruses will be attached to the functional files and grows. From existence of program register, the computer viruses can be pointed to appearing as the unusual messages, reducing the memory content, disturbance in printer performance, broadcasting the unusual voices and changing the executive files and so on. So, in the parley of to artificial intelligence world it can be identified as artificial Schizophrenia similar to human Schizophrenia. Thus, understanding artificial intelligence may help to understand the human brain function and in evolving treatment strategies.
