The present article criticizes the book “ Phenomenology and Mysticism” by Anthony J. Steinbock. The writer has tried to identify religious and mystical EXPERIENCES by the use of phenomenological’ s style and helping from concepts such as “ evidence” , “ phenomenological’ s reduction” and “ intention” . Steinbock’ s main concern is to consider the reaction between the phenomenology and theology to make a connection and relation among the vast range of religious beliefs with philosophical problems such as “ evidence” , “ selfhood” , and “ otherness” . Lack of stability in his point of view, inability in sufficient analysis, contradiction in terms, etc. weaken his attitude in this book. Furthermore, this book contains problems in content and writing considered as a serious downsides of the book.

Objectives: This retrospective article reports the diagnostic EXPERIENCES of forty six cases of hyperparathyroidism confirmed by operation and pathologic examination.Methods: From for hyperparathyroidism were investigated. Eleven surgeons performed the operations by doing only 1 up to 18 procedures. Experience of surgeon and the result of frozen section were determined adequacy of procedure and completeness of operation.Results: The clinical presentation was divided into four type: 24 cases (52.17%) with bone resorption: 15 case (32.60%) with bone lesions plus urinary calculus: 4 cases (8.69%) with urinary calculus and 3 cases (6.52%) with asymptomatic hypercalcemia. The mean age of 46 patients (35 women, 11 men) was 44 (rang 1 month to 67) years.Mean preoperative serum calcium was 13 (range 10.5 to 30) mg/100ml. Two patients had chronic renal failure. Neck sonography was done in 18 and parathyroid (Sestamibi) scan was done in 3 with accuracy of 66.66% and 100% subsequently. The pathological diagnosis was parathyriod adenoma in 37, hyperplasia in 5, parathyroid carcinoma in 1 and negative exploration in 3.Conclusion: The clinical picture of PHPT in south of Iran is similar to that recognized previously in west. We are expected routine measurement of serum calcium and highly suspicious of physician in patients with symptoms of musculoskeletal system or renal stone can lead to early diagnosis. By using parathyroid scan and sonography of neck localization of most parathyroid adenoma is possible. Therefore minimal access adenomectomy can be replaced conventional neck exploration.

Although divorce affects many parts of the society including spouses, children and, families, the entire social life cycle of individuals, the kind of individuals’ EXPERIENCES, based on their gender, Subjectivity in the process, degree of involvement. It may be perceived by the individuals as a positive or a negative experience. Given the differences in divorce men’s EXPERIENCES and the fact that some cultural factors in the Kurdish society reduce woman’s role to an object in the marital life, this study was done to find Kurdish divorced women’s life experience and to arrive at an understanding of their challenges and growth opportunities. Hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used in this study. The number of participants based on purposive sampling includes 19 divorced women in the Saqqez city. The theory developed and proposed by Kaslue and Mezirow was used as the framework for organizing the data and through the individual interviews the following themes were derived: 1. the process of divorce; 2. the consequences of divorce; 3. self-perceptions; 4. personal emotions; 5. behavioral reactions to divorce and 6. attitude toward divorce.

Background: Hypertension is one of the major chronic disorders. Hypertensive patients have various disease-related EXPERIENCES, based on personal and social characteristics, life style and other effective factors. Nurses face different situations during their activities process and presentation of these EXPERIENCES obtained during working with patients can help them to improve the clinical activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the EXPERIENCES of hypertensive patients.Methods: This was a qualitative phenomenological survey. The study population was hypertensive patients referred to hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. The sampling method was purposeful. The data collected by in-depth interviews and data analysis was done by Collis’s seven-staged method.Results: The findings of the interviews classified in 133 codes and the thematic analysis revealed three major clusters as: 1. clinical EXPERIENCES about the disease; 2. social EXPERIENCES of the disease; and 3. mental-psychological EXPERIENCES.Conclusion: Hypertensive patients had mostly experienced chronic situations and treatment process as well as their surrounding problems such as diet and life style. Life style is an important criterion for our physical health and it should be changed so that hypertensive patients feet relatively healthy, fine and peaceful in the rest of their life. Patient indicated beliefs about their disease and experienced its psychological signs.

Steel industry presents one of the highest energy demand of all the industrial sector. Foundries have a really relevant role both in economical terms and as regards the energy demand. The cost of energy represents several percentage points of the overall costs of a foundry.The electricity demand is very high, particularly for the induction melting furnaces. A large amount of thermal energy is obtained both from natural gas combustion and from the coal needed for the process of formation of cast iron in cupolas. Moreover, the plant services must be considered: one very energy consumer is compressed air production. Every factory is different from another so that the proposal of actions of energy savings or thermal recovers requires a detailed study of each plant considering the lay out and analysing the single processes with related energy needs and thermal levels. The co-operation of the University of Padua with the Centro Produttivita` Veneto allowed to plan a series of energy audits in some foundries located in Vicenza province. The EXPERIENCES of the first facilities surveys and audits recommendations demonstrated both potential advantage of energy savings and the related difficulties, often due to the high investment costs.Anyhow the joint work of auditing between the university experts and the foundry technicians produced a better awareness on the critical points of the plant and a higher rationality level in the evaluation of investments for the renewable of the machinery. Here, the method of performing the energy audits is described together with the very first results in terms of proposals for energy savings evaluated technically and economically.

Background: After organ transplantation, many patients have diverse EXPERIENCES; they face many changes in the physical and emotional aspects of their life. Patients’ understandings of the post-transplantation period influence their adaptation to the changes. There is a need to improving the knowledge of patients’ unique EXPERIENCES of post-transplantation period and the changes occur in their life.Objective: To explore the EXPERIENCES of organ recipients in the post-transplantation period.Methods: In a qualitative research using a hermeneutical phenomenological approach, data were collected from April 2015 to June 2016. Participants were consisted of 15 patients who received organ chosen using a purposive sampling method. In-depth semi-structured interviews were held with them. The collected data were analyzed using Diekelmann’s hermeneutical analysis approach.Results: The data analyses led to the development of 3 main themes and 17 subthemes as "back from the grave" with the subthemes of "organ as the God’s deposit, " "God as the source of life, " and "new life"; "chapter of prosperity" with the subthemes of "the spring of the body, " "recovery, " "peace and joy, " "benevolent and good behavior, " "renewal, " "opportunity of being together again, " "golden age, " "positive perspective, " "the sense of normality, " "the return of health, " and "spiritual evolution"; and "the fall" with the subthemes of "a lack of energy, " "the mirage of transplantation, " and "hell on the earth." Conclusion: The patients had diverse EXPERIENCES of the post-transplantation period, which varied from the feeling of exhilaration and youth to losing energy and the wish for not undertaking organ transplantation.
