Abstract
This study is aimed to evaluate the impact of Merrill instructional design model and ADDIE in learning and retention epidemiology of medical Science University of Tehran in academic year 2013-2014. The study method is experimental. The total population is 98 as divided randomly to three classes 30 people to do three instructional methods (Merrill, ADDIE and traditional). A researcher-built academic progress test is used in the study. The data are analyzed by descriptive statistics and inference statistics (t-test) and the results of study were as follows: The learning and retention of the studies receiving Merrill and ADDIE instructional design models were more than the students trained by common classroom method. Deterioration of retention in instruction via two experiment group models is less than traditional method. There was no significant difference between learning and retention with two design models.

Abstract
The present study investigates the problems of student participation in research activities in Farhangiyan University. The research method was descriptive – survey. The research instrument, interviews and a questionnaire were designed. In the interview, purposeful sampling; theoretical saturation and for gathering data from questionnaire, simple random method was used. Construct and content validity and cronbach's alpha were used to assess validity and reliability which alpha coefficient was 0.91. By using exploratory factor analysis, five components of commitment, requirements, motivation, performance, interest were identified as components of students' participation hinders in research activities. The confirmatory factor analysis by using AMOS software also was confirmed good fitness of the model. Friedman test showed that requirements and structure has first and last priority respectively. Finally; Students and faculty members offered some solutions to participate theme in research activities including the development and strengthening of libraries & laboratories and access to informational resources.

Abstract
Considering the importance of happiness in people's lives and understanding the factors affecting the feeling of happiness, this study aimed to test a model explaining happiness based on feelings of inferiority and loneliness. The study design was non-experimental in which the correlation research method and the advanced statistical method of structural equation modeling were used. A total of 210 students (134 females, 76 males) were selected from Payam Noor University, Taibad, using available sampling in the second semester of 2021-2022. In addition to the demographic questionnaire, the research participants completed the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Hills & Argyle, 2002), the Loneliness Scale (Russell, 1996) and the Inferiority Feeling Scale (Yao, et al., 1998). Correlational analysis indicated that there was a negative and significant relationship between loneliness and happiness, a positive and significant relationship between loneliness and feeling of inferiority, and a negative and significant relationship between loneliness and happiness. The results of structural equation modeling indicated that loneliness completely mediates the relationship between inferiority feelings and happiness. The findings suggested that the feeling of inferiority decreased college students’ happiness only by increasing their feeling of loneliness. Since loneliness affects happiness only through loneliness, considering the role of happiness in the health and academic success of students, developing and implementing preventive interventions for increasing happiness and reducing loneliness in students at the university level recommended.
