This essay would explore the media dimension of operations of takfiri-terrorist IS group. To do so we will study the discourse making process of IS throughout virtual space and Virtual Networks. This article argues that establishing a discoursive system and articulating ideational concepts that construct the positions of Self and Other and give them a hegemonic status is possible via virtual networks and with enjoying of media ploys. In this regard the main question of this essay is about the evaluation of the level of efficacy of these media arenas for IS and assesing the opportunities or by contrast the threats offered by them for IS’s activism. Our hypothesis is that virtual space is useful for IS and this group thanks to a professional approach to social networks and knowing the function of media, can establish a media terrorism by psychological operation and therefore complete its geopolitics actions.

Empowerment of informal settlements has been always faced with two challenges. Firtly, Lack of necessary capacity to implement and unfamiliarity of urban management with the nature of empowerment plan to increase these capacities. Secondly, distrust of the residents of these textures to urban management and consequently the challenge of attracting their participation. This study aims by focusing on the first challenge as a research problem, with analytical- descriptive approach to evaluate and compare the existing capacity of urban management in order to empower informal settlements in five cities, so that the shortcomings of the urban managment regarding this issue to be determined. In this regard, according to documents and library resources, indicators of urban management capacity has been developed in many aspects. Furthermore, in order to quantify and collect data needed for each indicator, according to experts, using in-depth interviews and avialable information in the empowerment plan of informal settlements of theses cities has been considered. To analyze the data and evaluate the final number of available capacity of urban management of each of the surveyed cities in order to empower informal settlements of each city, the FUZZY-ANP model, and for weighting of indicators in this model, professionals, city administrators and researchers were surveyed. Ranking results of the management of the cities in order to empower informal settlements from highest to lowest capacity were 1- Shiraz, 2- Marvdasht, 3-Yasouj, 4-Zabol, and 5-Iranshahr respectively. Moreover, the indiocators of 1- using participatory planning method, 2- meetings and workshops related to issues of informal settlements, and 3- the stability of income respectively had the highest significance in this ranking.

However, establishment of credit financial institutions since1997 paved the way to establish private banks. Finally, central bank announced its agreement for establishment of private banks in February 1998. In April 2000, the law of establishment of non-public banks was passed. In this study, the performance of private banks during 2005 to 2015 was assessed to investigate their failure or success. Additionally, using the Delphi method and investigation of balance sheet of banks, a comprehensive reportwas obtained from status of privatebanks and the impact of privatization on the banking indicators was examined. The results of assessment of balance sheets and obtained data obtained show privatization of banks had a positive impact on efficiency and profitability of banks.In addition, according to the results, "Premium Features" of private banks compared to public banks includedreducedtotal costs of money, reducedoutstanding loans and doubtful debts of the bank, reduced gap between the interest rate paid on deposits and interest received from a given facilities, updating and creating a modern information structure of banking, providing new service, increased productivity of human resources, using specialists and educated manpower, increased profitability, creating a competitive environment and transparency of information, reduced reliance on central bank at deficits times, and management of risk.In addition, by using the Delphi technique, "Top Premium Features" of private banks compared to public banks were obtained and they were weighted using FANP method. Accordingly, four criteria of reduced total costs of money, reducedoutstanding loans and debts, creating a competitive environment and increased productivity of human resources had the highest weights, respectively.

The use of network business models to provide health services is a growing trend in the world's successful health systems. Forming and sustaining successful service delivery networks requires using the structures and mechanisms that address the health system characteristics, such as the asymmetry of the health market, as well as the need to guarantee the quality of services. In this paper, based on the dynamic capability approach, relevant structures and mechanisms have been identified that can make the ability to successfully governing service delivery networks in health systems. The effectiveness of identified structures and mechanisms have been evaluated using a case study within a clinical laboratory network in Tehran. Manuscript profile

Introduction: todays, with regard to competitive market in health system collaboration networked clllaboration has become an essensial strategy for the survival of organizations. Network governance that refers to coordination and collaboration in the network is a fundamental concept that affect collaboration network success. There are various factors that affect designing successful model of network governance that considering this factors is critical for designing successful model of network governance. The aim of doing this research is identifying internal structural and operational factors that affects designing proper model of network governance in health care delivery systems. Methodology: to identify and extract desired factors used of the mentioned evidence in the literature related to research question. For this porpous we need a research methodology that comprehensively and systematically consider the literature. For achieving this aim a systematic literature review will consider as a comprehensive and systematic method for identifying valid evidence and related to the research question. Also, Grounded Theory method was used to synthesis the extracted evidence. Results: by searching in the WEB OF SCIENCE as a comprehensive and credible database for identifying related studies, the 2350 scientific publication resulted. By screening these results basis of title fitness with studies inclusion and exclusion criteria lead to select 150 articles. Finally, through screening described the 150 articles basis of their abstract and conclusion fitness lead to the 53 final articles that during the reviewing them the 78 pieces of evidences extracted from the 37 sources and did not identify any evidence from other studies. For creating extensive view and easy access to extracted evidences in the synthesizing step using granded theory, 2 categories and 16 classes emerged. Conclusion: designing governance model in the network will be successful if only internal structural and operational factors influencing on designing it have been considered. Structural and operational factors in the network include network characteristics and network administration characteristics, are influencing factors that considering these factors on designing proper model of governance lead to fitness of the goernance model with network characteristics that finally lead to collaboration network success.
