The consolidation of information entering the brain underlies the phenomena of learning and memory. This information can be stored in many parts of the brain, including the new cortex and the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the area in the middle temporal lobe that plays a key role in stabilizing memory and spatial learning in mammals; So that the destruction of this part disrupts the use of memory.
Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of cognitive and dementia in the elderly.
However, other studies have shown that deletion of the vitamin D receptor gene has little effect on memory activity.
The structural and functional health of neurons is very important in the formation of memory and learning phenomena, and the role of this vitamin in maintaining the health of neurons has also been shown. Vitamin D protects the cortical cells of the brain against damage to neurons by increasing the expression of its receptor messenger RNA.
Considering the mentioned cases and the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis (especially in women) due to calcium and vitamin D deficiency in Iran, examining the relationship between this deficiency and memory and learning can be important in better understanding their pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and memory and statistical learning.
This research will be done systematically and meta-analysis on published studies in this field. For the findings of this study, articles published in the journals Prequest, Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, Magiran, SID and Iran Medex will be used. The keywords used (main and sub-variables), search strategy (as a search in the title), the distance of the searched years (2015-2001) will be the most important items observed in the search.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has widely spread all over the world since December2019. This pandemic poses a great threat and challenge to global health and economy. The COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment is very complex, because of its unknown many characteristics. Thus it is crucial to have a framework for an early of its prediction. In this regard, Machines Learning (ML) could be the crucial to extracting high-quality predictive models and concealed patterns from mining of huge raw datasets.
Purpose: At this juncture, we aimed to apply different ML models to discover correlations in COVID-19 data that could help improving prediction rate. Additionally, their potential was evaluated to find the best classifier which gives better accuracy. Material and Methods: The dataset of Talleghani hospital, COVID-19 focal center affiliated to Abadan University of Medical Sciences have been taken into consideration. ML algorithms such as Naïve Bayesian (NB), Bayesian Net (BN), Random Forest (RF), Multilayer Perceptron ( MLP ), K-star, C4.5, and Support Vector Machine ( SVM ) were developed. Then the recital of selected ML models was assessed by comparison of some performance indices such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F-score, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC).

Acute heart diseases are among the most common and dangerous problems that threaten human life. Electrocardiogram monitoring should be started as soon as possible to detect life-threatening abnormalities. Because nurses are on the front line of patient care, they should have sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of diagnosis and interpretation of heart rhythm strips to prevent the occurrence of fatal complications of these disorders. This is important through proper and sufficient training.
Correct reading of the electrocardiogram is one of the prerequisites for recognizing heart disorders and preventing complications caused by heart disorders. Considering that the nurse is the first person who can play a key role in recognizing heart rhythm disorders, reading the electrocardiogram correctly is one of her important duties. The use of new teaching methods strengthens the mental ability of learners and causes them to use their thinking power and use their rational powers to reason and find answers to problems. These methods are suitable for creating higher levels of thinking skills and force learners to be involved in the learning process.
Since, throughout Iran's nursing schools, nursing students are trained in therapeutic drugs, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and common cardiac disorders in the second or third year of nursing special care courses, it is possible to gain knowledge and skills with the passage of time. has fluctuated.
Teaching using electronic tools is one of the new ways of teaching nursing courses. The use of the online education platform during the Corona pandemic shows the usefulness of this method in providing content and education to nursing students and has shown its effectiveness. In the process of gamification, students are taught to perform specific learning activities in an active manner and problem solving and learning abilities are strengthened in them. Varsazi game transforms heavy and boring educational content into happy and fun, motivating and active topics.
In fact, the game of Varsazi increases the retention time of acquired knowledge in the mind. Considering that learning and remembering are two important principles in the career process of nurses, in order to strengthen these factors, new teaching methods can be considered suitable and practical methods.
The results of the conducted studies show that medical and nursing students and graduates are facing problems in interpreting electrocardiograms. Learning in the interpretation of experiments with the help of gamification includes different dimensions such as individual components (responsibility, perception), mechanical components (quick feedback, progress of rounds) and emotional components (motivation, self-efficacy). Therefore, gamification has created a paradigm shift in learning. Considering the novelty of gamification in learning therapeutic and educational techniques, this concept can be used in the development and registration of learning nursing concepts.
According to what was said, the aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of online gamification on the interpretation of the ECG and self-learning strategy of nursing students, and the question is whether gamification has an effect on the interpretation of the ECG and self-learning of the strategy or not?

According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, respiratory diseases are the third cause of death in the whole world. Identification of respiratory disorders and their diagnosis should be started as soon as possible. Because nurses are on the front line of patient care, they must have sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of identifying and diagnosing respiratory disorders in order to prevent the occurrence of fatal complications of these disorders. This is important through proper and sufficient training.
Nursing education also uses various traditional methods of education with emphasis on achieving students' competence and efficiency in various fields and meeting the care needs of the client. The research conducted in Iran shows that 72% of nursing educators use passive teaching methods, while 92% of nursing students prefer the use of active and modern educational methods to traditional and passive methods and have a great desire to use they show
In the way of the teaching-learning process, there are various factors that affect the academic success or failure of students. Self-efficacy is one of the most important factors that individually affects their performance. Self-efficacy is the main construct of Bandura's social and cognitive theory and refers to people's perceptions of their abilities to perform work and activities. According to Bandura's theory, self-reflection is one of the unique abilities in humans, through which humans evaluate and change their behavior, and these self-evaluations include perceptions of self-efficacy.
Because throughout Iran's nursing schools, nursing students are taught respiratory diseases and common respiratory disorders in the special nursing care course in the second or third year of the university, the knowledge and skills acquired may fluctuate with the passage of time. be made For this reason, it seems that one of the main reasons for not acquiring enough knowledge and skills, as well as the amount of recall of what was learned, at the level of nursing education, including the training of tracheal drugs and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is the teaching method and the lack of use of modern learning theories and Advanced methods of education.
Teaching using electronic tools is one of the new ways of teaching nursing courses. The use of the online education platform during the Corona pandemic shows the usefulness of this method in providing content and education to nursing students and has shown its effectiveness. Gamification or the concept of game-based learning means using technology-based tools to perform various learning and problem-solving activities. In the process of gamification, students are taught to perform specific learning activities in an active manner and problem solving and learning abilities are strengthened in them. Varsazi game transforms heavy and boring educational content into happy and fun, motivating and active topics. Gamification allows the learner to immerse himself in the process of learning and understand the consequences of learning and learn in less time and at less cost.
Gamification by placing the patient in a simulated environment increases motivation, a sense of competition and an experience of risk without engaging with a real patient. Enhancing creative thinking skills, critical and analytical thinking, knowledge assessment, decision making, multiple communication tasks and psychological skills. In fact, the game of Varsazi increases the retention time of acquired knowledge in the mind. Considering that learning and remembering are two important principles in the career process of nurses, in order to strengthen these factors, new teaching methods can be considered suitable and practical methods.
The results of the conducted studies show that students and graduates of medical and nursing fields face problems in examining and recognizing respiratory disorders and lung diseases. Learning in the interpretation of experiments with the help of gamification includes different dimensions such as individual components (responsibility, perception), mechanical components (quick feedback, progress of rounds) and emotional components (motivation, self-efficacy). Considering the novelty of gamification in learning therapeutic and educational techniques, this concept can be used in the development and registration of learning nursing concepts.
According to what was said, the aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of online gamification on learning lung sounds and self-efficacy of nursing students, and the question is whether gamification has an effect on learning lung sounds and self-efficacy or not?
