Abstract
The article focuses on a male-only therapy group that has been functioning for the last nine years in the Middle East, in Iran. The group has a permanent main female therapist and temporary, mostly female trainee cotherapists. We explore culturally specific factors that we believe impact expressions of aggression in the group. These factors include the Iranian gender segregation culture, the ideal of masculinity relating to the concept of "Gheirat" (moral vigilance), the legal acceptance of multiple wives in Iran (which often leads to family instability), and the cultural belief about the uncontrollability of sexual desires in men. We also comment on the role of a common dynamic in Iranian families, in which the relationships between mothers and sons are usually overwhelming while the emotional relationships between parents are somehow restrained. We close by discussing future directions for this area of study as well as by proposing interventions therapists may consider when encountering related group dynamics.

Abstract
Patients' personalities seem to affect their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the association of personality traits and characteristics of Iranian COVID-19 outpatients with their compliance to nonmandatory quarantine orders. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020-2021 on 97 COVID-19 outpatients. The temperament and character inventory-revised short version (TCI-RS) and a self-report checklist assessing compliance with quarantine orders were used to collect data. SPSS was used to analyze the data and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Of 142 patients who were contacted, 97 participated in the study (68% response rate). The mean age of patients was 39.21 ± 10.27 years and 54 (55.7%) of them were men. Compliance with quarantine orders was correlated with cooperativeness (r = 0.33; P = 0.001), persistence (r = 0.23, P = 0.020), self-transcendence (r = 0.27, P = 0.006) and harm avoidance (r = -0.26, P = 0.008). Linear regression analysis demonstrated persistence (P = 0.034), cooperativeness (P = 0.008) and being married (P = 0.002) as predictors for following the quarantine orders. Lower levels of cooperativeness, persistence, self-transcendence, and higher levels of harm avoidance are associated with noncompliance with quarantine orders. These traits should be considered while persuasive communication to the public is formulated to recognize the target population and increase compliance with nonmandatory quarantine orders.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the most important legume-infecting viruses, which is transmitted effectively by pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hem: Aphididae). Transmission efficiency of two CMV isolates (As and Kh from cowpea and bean hosts, resp.) by red and green color morphs of pea aphid were evaluated on bean plants. Triple-antibody sandwich ELISA (TAS-ELISA) using CMV-specific monoclonal antibodies revealed that both CMV isolates belonged to the serotype II. Bean plants inoculated by viruliferous aphids were assayed by double-antibody sandwich ELISA (DAS-ELISA) at 16 days post inoculation (dpi). The results showed that the transmission rate of CMV-As by the red morph was significantly higher than by the green morph, resulting in significantly higher transmission rate of the virus (As + Kh) by the red morph than by the green morph, with p≤ 0.1. Similarly, the efficiency of CMV transmission by the red morph of A. pisum was higher than the efficiency of transmission by the green morph. The higher transmission rate and efficiency of CMV by red pea aphid would be important in the epidemiology. Based on these results, we hypothesize that the transmission efficiency of CMV is affected more by the difference in transmission determinants of A. pisum color morphs than by the sequence of virus coat protein determinants.

Abstract
The prevalence of allergic disorders has increased markedly throughout the world over the past three decades. It seems probable that the increased prevalence is real because longitudinal studies have shown a rapid exponential increase in allergic disorders. In order to determine the prevalence of type 1 allergy in patients with allergic disorders in Sistan-Blouchestan province, in the Southeast of Iran, patients referred to Immunology and Allergy Medical Center of Khatam Hospital during a 7-year period were studied. One thousand two hundred and eighty-six patients (554 males and 732 females), aged 2-79 years, had allergic disorders. The most frequent allergic disease was rhinitis, seen in 959 patients ( 74.57%). Also, 939 patients had a history of sinusitis (73.02%). Among the skin prick test(SPT)-positive patients, a positive prick test reaction to the house dust mites (89.74%), feathers (70.29%), and Aspergillus (65.08%) was most common, followed by Alternaria (57.39%), Cladosporium (47.12%), grasses (43.39%), trees (41.29%), Penicillium (39.19%), fruits (38.41%), and weeds (32.50%). Also, 30.33% of the subjects were sensitized to Hen's egg in the prick test, walnut (29.16%), cow's milk (21.46%), beef meat (19.21%), and hazel-nut (15.32%) accounting for other positive reactions. The prevalence of SPT-positive to common allergens is high among Iranian patients with allergic disorders. So, it should be recognized in the diagnosis of allergic diseases as well as in allergen-reduction programs.
