Abstract
Aims: Heart transplantation significantly alters the lifestyle and quality of life of children and adolescents post-surgery. These patients must strictly adhere to their treatment regimens to maintain graft viability and achieve better adaptation. Enhancing the quality of life in pediatric heart transplant recipients is a critical responsibility of nurses. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a tele-nursing supportive educational program on treatment adherence and quality of life in children aged 12-18 years.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a single-group design without a control group was done on 41 pediatric patients who were referred to a specialized hospital for heart transplantation in Tehran in 2022. Participants were selected through census sampling and received education via communication platforms, such as WhatsApp, Skype, and Telegram, as chosen by the patients and their parents. The program spanned eight weeks, during which data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory for Cardiac Problems, and the Modanloo Medication Adherence Scale. Pre- and post-test results were analyzed using SPSS version 16.
Findings: There was a significant improvement in the mean quality of life score and its dimensions (p=0.001), as well as the medication adherence score and its dimensions (p=0.001) after the implementation and follow-up of the intervention program.
Conclusion: Tele-nursing interventions offer an effective and accessible approach to enhancing treatment adherence and improving the quality of life for pediatric heart transplant recipients.

Abstract
Shirin and Farhad by Salimi Jerouni, composed in the ninth century AH, is adapted from Khosrow and Shirin by Nizami Ganjavi. The distinguishing feature of this poem is the addition of a mystical theme, as compared to its hypotext. The purpose of the current study was to investigate how the narrative structure of this poem has changed compared to Nizami Ganjavi’s Khosrow and Shirin, employing Gerard Genette’s theory of hypertextuality and also intentional interpretation. The researchers have also tried to show how Salimi Jerouni was able to connect his mystical thoughts with Khosrow and Shirin’s earthly love. Based on epitext and peritext analysis and through retrieval of the intention of the author, it was concluded that Salimi Jerouni had created a narrative, using quantitative transformation and pragmatic transformation that in its deep structure, illustrated mystical behavior. The characters of the story have gained symbolical interpretation, proportional to the mystical content of the poem and in line with the evolution of the hero (Khosrow) on the way of reaching the position of a perfect man.

Abstract
Hydro screw is a small micro-hydro turbine. Due to increase in demand for clean energy production, a comprehensive project at the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST) for the design and construction of very small turbines (micro-turbines), including hydro screw, has been developed. Hydro screw is suitable for a low head and discharge that does not have a guide vane and draft tube; thus, it is simple, small, inexpensive, and portable. This turbine, with a 15 cm blade diameter, can generate power up to 2 kW. Hydro screw blade is inspired by the Archimedes turbine, and difference between them is that the blade pitch of hydro screw is variable and horizontally mounted. In this project, the effect of spiral variable pitch on turbine has been studied numerically. Based on the results, it was found that the turbine had the best efficiency at a spiral pitch of 1.5. Subsequently, the small model of hydro screw was made and tested in the laboratory. The results of this study have been presented in the form of standard curves of turbine performance and the accuracy of the results has been proved by comparison of numerical and experimental results. The results show the integrity of the numerical calculations and, therefore, they can be used in line with next turbine studies. The results indicate that the maximum turbine output is between 62% and 68%.
