This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of attachment injury resolution model (AIRM) and integrative couple therapy (ICT) on the trust of women injured marital infidelity by family counseling research core of Persian Gulf University. So doing, 30 women were selected and randomly assigned to AIRM, ICT, and control groups to undergo interventions consisting of eight therapy sessions. The administration of the Trust Scale developed by Rempel et al. showed that the two models of couple therapy significantly improved the participants' trust. But AIRM was however more effective at the end, and three months after the end of the treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The present study aimed at determining the effectiveness of emotionally-focused couple therapy, based on attachment injury resolution model (AIRM) on increasing trust among the injured women with marital infidelity. Method: The present study was a single case experiment of the multiple baseline design type. The population included all injured women with marital infidelity, referring to Bushehr family therapy clinics, among whom three women were selected and participated in the intervention through purposive sampling method, based on the desired recall, By considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria and answering the trust scale. Data analysis was conducted by visual analysis, clinically meaningful (reliable change index and normative comparison) and percentage improvement formula. Results: The percentage obtained from the overall increase of trust among the injured women during the therapy was 38.76 and follow-up was 48.58. In addition, the reliable change index during the therapy and a follow-up was 2.77 and 3.49 in the first couple, 3.10 and 3.62 in the second couple, 2.66 and 3.67 in the third couple indicating that these values were significant and higher than z = 1.96 during the therapy and follow-up (p = 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the research results, the emotionally-focused couple therapy based on attachment injury resolution model can be used as an effective intervention in reducing the injuries by marital infidelity.

Fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer inside a plane diffuser with Cu–water nanofluid in the presence of magnetic field is numerically studied with the finite volume method. The steady nanofluid flow is assumed incompressible, laminar, and Newtonian. The cooling nanofluid with low temperature enters the diffuser with constant wall and higher temperature. The influence of Reynolds number (100 < Re < 500), Hartmann number (0 < Ha < 10), and volume fraction of nanoparticles (0 < < 0.05) on the local and average Nusselt numbers, skin friction coefficient, dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles, total entropy generation, static pressure variation, and pressure recovery coefficient are examined. The results show that increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles, Reynolds, and Hartmann numbers would increase the total entropy generation and average Nusslet number. In contrast, the pressure recovery coefficient of diffuser decreases by increasing the Reynolds and Hartmann number. Furthermore, numerical results show that, for each Reynolds number there is a critical Hartmann number. So that, the effect of the nanoparticle addition on the pressure recovery coefficient in all Reynolds number is depended to the flow Hartmann number and its value relative to the critical Hartmann number.
