The Relationship of Body Dysmorphic Disorder Symtoms with Five Big Factors of Personality and Perfectionism in 18-22 Years Old Girls in Shiraz. Purpose: The aim of the present study is evaluation the relation of body dysmorphic disorder symptoms with five big factors of personality and positive and negative perfectionism in 18-22 years old girls in Shiraz. Method: This study was descriptive- correlation type study which was and has been Performed on 300 students girls 18-22 years old of Fatemieh and Shiraz University. Which participants was selected using available convenient sampling method. Data collection instruments were questioners of Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI: Litelton,2005), short NEO form five big factors of personality (NEO- 60),Terry-short positive and negative perfectionism standard questioner and demographic questioner used. The data were analyzed by analysis with using SPSS-21 software. Findings: According to Obtained results based on Pearson correlation cofficiene showed that there is a significant positive correlation between variables neuroticism (B=0/395), extraversion (B=0/144) and agreeableness (B=0/089) with body dysmorphic disorder and there is no significant correlation between variables conscientiousness and openness with body dysmorphic disorder. Body dysmorphic disorder has a significant and negative relationship with negative perfectionism. It means that by increasing negative perfectionism, body dysmorphic disorder also increases and also, Regression analysis results show that negative perfectionism, is the most powerful predictor for body dysmorphic disorder (B=0/477). Furthermore between positive perfectionism with body dysmorphic disorder there is an indirect relationship (B=-0/224) it means that by increasing positive perfectionism component, body dysmorphic disorder decrease. Result Conclusion: obtained results showed that among five big factors of personality, the three most powerful factors of Neuroticism, agreeableness and extraversion are the most powerful predictor of body dysmorphic disorder. Also negative perfectionism can cause to increase disorders,this negative perfectionism can cause exhibit disorders;that this negative perfectionism can be in relation with personality traits variable that is an important element of predicting body dysmorphic disorder causing creation and corroboration of disorder;although personality traits possed with positive perfectionism can explain the revrse result of negative perfectionism.

Abstract: The validity of probative evidences is one of the fundamental discussions in methodology of religion. Probative evidences (religious circumstantial evidences) are among the evidences needed for interpretation and inference of the Sharia rules, the signifiers of which–in addition to comparative signified–have sometimes evidentiary effects. Evidentiary effect in methodology means the religious effects attributable to the rational instruments, necessities and requirements, either ordinary or accidental, which can be taken as evidence or codes of action. In case of the validity of probative evidence and its reasons, three theories may be put forth: Some jurists attribute the nature of evidence, in terms of proof, depending upon its validity thus rule on absolute validity of probative evidence. Some others, however believing in absolute validity of the probative evidence, have attributed the reason to the quality of proof and attribution of the reasons for validity of the evidence. The third group of jurists believe in a detailed manner which draws a line of separation between various types of evidence and probative evidences. Apparently, to study the validity of probative evidences, the reasons for validity of the evidence must be taken into consideration. Therefore, if the reason behind validity of the evidence is an instance of compulsory obedience, its probative reasoning shall not be valid but if it is based on logical and consistent usages (which is true in the case of the majority of cases) the criterion will be constraints in logical usages and related terms. This is because men of reason at times take something as evidence while at the same time reject its probative values, such as evidence on probation, possession, presumption of marriage bed, and confession.

In this thesis we try to study the good life from positive psychology and Islam points of view and try to compare these two views through descriptive-analytical method. For positive psychologists Good life has discussed from two approaches: hedonism and eudemonia. Nowadays, positive psychology has a eudemonic approach to the good life and concentrate on the individual virtues. It has some levels for the life and those one who pass those levels have reached to the good life. The thing which is necessary for passing the levels to reach the good life is taking benefit from all the potential faculties and capacities. Good life from Islamic point of view is discussed in the vaster realm in comparison with positive psychology. From Islamic point of view the life of human beings has two levels: world and hereafter which have very close relationship with each other. The good life in the Islam has a root in the salvation and it is evaluated with it. But the appearance of whole causes of the worldly salvation and the good life of the hereafter will occur in a certain period which called the reappearance era. Manuscript profile

In the present study, the effect of positive affect induction on verbal cognitive performance in extrovert and introvert personality types is studied. The first sample of the research includes 180 female students of Tarbiat Modares university selected with available sampling method. With respect to their score in Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and based on statistical analysis, 30 participants (in 2 extrovert and introvert groups) were chosen for the next step of the research. In the next step, a short movie clip for inducting positive affect was shown to the half of the participants, then respectively, the first verbal task and PANAS questionnaire were taken. After that, all previous steps (with an equal verbal task) were done but this time for negative affect induction. For the remaining participants, the reverse process was done, i.e., first negative affect induction and then positive affect induction. The results were analyzed with descriptive statistics methods and t-test of two dependent groups, t-test of two independent groups and Yu-Mann-Whitney test. The observations showed that the positive affect induction improves the verbal fluency performance. On the other hand in the case of positive emotional induction, extroverts have better verbal performance than introverts. conclusion: In general the results showed that the positive affect induction affects the cognitive performances. Also, personality traits associated with affections such as extroversion can modify these effects. Manuscript profile

Regarding the “principle of presupposition”, which is one of the important principles in the realm of philosophy, philosophers are unanimous in support of the “necessity of positive affirmation; however, there are some disagreements among them in relation to the “necessity of fixed affirmation”. Two theories have been presented on fixed affirmation: many well-known philosophers maintain that fixed affirmation is not necessary, while some others believe in the opposite. Mullā Ṣadrā is one of the followers of the latter position. He has quoted the theory of the lack of the necessity of fixed affirmation from one of its believers without providing the source. Some of the commentators of his works have attributed it to Sayyid Sanad in addition to Sayyid Sharīf al-Jurjānī and ‘Allāmah Jalāl al-Dīn Dawānī. Nevertheless, the quoted theory does not correspond to what is found in Sayyid Sanad’s manuscripts and, conversely, he appears to believe in the “necessity of fixed affirmation”. The argument of the lack of necessity of fixed affirmation belongs to his contemporary thinker, ‘Allāmah Dawānī. Finally, the authors conclude that, while benefitting from Sayyid Sanad’s theory, Mullā Ṣadrā has provided a specific theory which is different from his. Manuscript profile

Directional protection is a crucial function in advanced transmission network relays. In this paper, a novel directional algorithm for transmission line protection is presented. Proposed algorithm responds to all kind of faults accurately without any dead zone. In this scheme, discrimination between internal and external faults will be done precisely even for close relay faults. The proposed algorithm utilizes a close form equation achieved by least squares optimization. Directional protection function is carried out based on proposed algorithm under various conditions such as current transformer saturation, power swing and source capacity changes. Moreover, variation on some parameters such as fault inception and fault resistance has only negligible effects on algorithm performance. Due to employing of low sampling frequency, hardware implementation of the proposed algorithm is not complicated. Algorithm performance is evaluated by applying the field data from Manesht 230kV substation located at Ilam province as well as extracted data form EMTP-RV simulations. Simulation results verify the speed and reliability of the proposed algorithm. Manuscript profile

The depressed basins of northwest central Iran are located in the structural Step and between Soltanieh-Ipac-Koshk-e-Nosrat and Qom –Zefreh system (the Indes - Qom –Khurabad faults). The main process of deformation within the basin with extension and compression of specific structures are comparable and verifiable using experimental models. The extensional structures include roll-over folds and normal faults, resulting in deep sedimentary basins during deposition of the lower and upper red formations. The younger structures, includes back-thrusts and for-thrusts, shortcut, and pop up structures represents the reversal of tectonic of primary extensional basin. These sedimentary basins have been created in relation to the growth faults and hanging wall blocks So In the presence of roll-over fold and antithetic and synthetic faults therefore are suitable for entrapment of hydrocarbons during migration. The active structural features have been identified using combination of geomorphic characteristic and seismic reflection data. Accordingly, none of the old normal faults in the Saveh- Qom and Aran basin show at the present any extensional movement and the fault activity of boundary faults and extensional folding are compressional. The active parts are: hanging wall of Saveh, restraining bending at the end of Indes fault that has stream Length-Gradient (SL) index and high value hypsometric index (Hi). The central part of Saveh-Qom and Aran basin, although show high Hi but the SL is low. This situation is due to the moderating effects of the thick lower and upper red formations and evaporative layer within the basin. In the Aran basin due to incomplete coverage of seismic lines the absence of normal faults cannot be definitively confirmed. However, the center of Aran basin as of Qom-Saveh formed push up which marks the compression of this basin and also activity of reverse and thrust faults. Based on the existing surface and subsurface data set, active deformation in this area now is transpression basin and the interior domains are in the uplift. Manuscript profile

Humans have long been plagued by moral issues and psychological problems throughout their lives, and psychology as an independent science since the nineteenth century has sought to be effective in the treatment of mental illness; But about two decades ago, a branch of psychology called positivist psychology, instead of focusing on mental illness and disorders, relied on positive emotions and human virtues and abilities. This new branch of psychology aims to emphasize the six moral virtues such as wisdom, courage, justice, moderation, love and compassion, transcendence and twenty-four abilities such as honesty, hope, gratitude, leadership. . . . He seeks to find what is called the "good life." Positive psychology, by relying on virtues and abilities and by discovering the hidden angles of human existence, causes the use of hidden human capabilities. Realizing these virtues in each person causes him to flourish and limit his existential vices. Lily and Majnoon, one of the five nezami's systems, can be examined from this point of view. Knowing these virtues and abilities can have a great impact on showing Lily's personality. In this poem, Lily's character reaches prosperity and excellence with the virtue of compassion, love, moderation and transcendence, as well as the abilities of love, foresight and hope.

Today, dignity-based legal equality has found an irreplaceable role in modern human rights. Therefore, on the one hand, in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, several principles, including the ninth paragraph of the third principle and the nineteenth and twentieth principles, deal with the principle of equality, and on the other hand, the Guardian Council as an institution to protect the constitution. According to the Sharia and the constitution, you must consider these principles and cite them. In this research, with a descriptive-analytical approach, an attempt is made to examine the status of equality from the perspective of human dignity in the views of the Guardian Council to determine to what extent the Guardian Council in its opinions and views has invoked this basic principle and authorized rights. In the second chapter, the constitution is guaranteed; Because human dignity is the foundation of legal equality and human beings have the status of equality and therefore are equal in rights. A study of the views of the Guardian Council from the beginning of the revolution until now shows that this council has invoked the principle of equality and non-discrimination in its views on several occasions; But the point to consider is that the council's view of the principle of equality is sometimes merely formal, and in essence equality and positive discrimination have been overlooked in some cases.

This study aimed to investigate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Persian version of the lay beliefs about competition scale (Kesebir et al., 2019) in a group of Iranian high school students. For this purpose, 464 students of Evaz city, located in the south of Fars province, who were studying in the academic year of 2022-2023; they were selected Convenience sampling method. They responded to the lay beliefs about competition scale (Kesebir et al., 2019) and achievement goals questionnaire (Elliott et al., 2011). The content, construct, convergent and divergent validity of the mentioned scale were investigated using the opinion of educational psychology experts, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation coefficients of component scores with related variables and correlation between scale components. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to investigate the reliability of the scale. Experts confirmed the representativeness of the scale items to measure the positive and negative lay beliefs about competition in the two-factor model presented by Kesebir et al. (2019). Exploratory factor analysis showed that there is a two-factor structure of lay beliefs about competition including positive and negative beliefs about competition among Iranian students. The lay beliefs about competition model test includes positive beliefs and negative beliefs confirming the two-factor structure of this scale in line with the main research. Also, the logical connection of the components of positive and negative lay beliefs about competition with the components of achievement goals indicates the convergent validity of this scale. The average correlation of two positive and negative components of the lay beliefs about competition confirms the divergent validity of this scale. In addition, Cronbach's alpha coefficients confirm the reliability of the scale. In total, the findings of the research show that the Persian version of the mentioned scale has suitable psychometric indicators for measuring positive and negative lay beliefs about competition in the group of Iranian high school students; and it has the necessary efficiency to measure the mentioned beliefs.

The meaning of the positive principle is the proof of the rational and common principles of the practical principles; But the discussion of positives is not limited to practical principles; Rather, it is also mentioned in other principles such as the principle of authenticity in other interpretations of signs. The necessity of research on the positive principle is that the positives and rational and Shariah requirements are of fundamental use in jurisprudence and subject law. And it can be the basis of the judge's decision in some cases; For example, if due to the immaturity of the contracting parties, there is doubt about the nullity of the transaction, By referring to the positives of the authenticity principle, it is possible to judge the authenticity of the transaction; Now this question is raised whether the rational, customary and normal principles of practice have also been taken into consideration by jurists and lawyers? The findings of the current research, which is organized in a descriptive and analytical method, indicate that the positive aspects of signs are evidence; But the positives are practical principles that are considered as apparent rules, And they are used in practice when in doubt, and in the real world they have no discovery of the truth. They do not have the ability to hold. As a result, the rational and customary positives of practical principles such as the principle of association and the principle of acquittal cannot be effective in judicial procedures and will not be invoked.

Ayatollah Naeini and the Establishment   of a Revolutionary Democratic System   Hamid Jafari<a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title="" href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">*</a>   Seyyed Mohsen Alavipour<a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title="" href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">**</a>   Naeini was able to present a proposal for a democratic system entitled "Constitutional Government" through theoretical elaboration on concepts such as the constitution, the national assembly, councils, the necessity of consulting with the people's representatives, giving meaning and political weight to the principles of enjoining good and forbidding evil, emphasizing participatory democracy, the role of councils in overseeing laws, and ultimately introducing a new theory in Shia political jurisprudence. The theory prioritizes a form of "compromise" and, through this, provides the necessary intellectual groundwork for separating political affairs from religious matters. An examination of this theory within the framework of pioneering theoretical perspectives on political developments worldwide demonstrates the extent to which he was familiar with the foundations of a democratic system in the contemporary world. By incorporating religious and cultural teachings, he was able to design such a system based on the modern needs of Iranian society. This research aims to elaborate on the novel articulation of the principles outlined by contemporary political philosopher Hannah Arendt for a republic and a successful revolution, within Naeini's governance theory. Within this framework, it becomes evident that the founding principle emphasizes positive freedom and the participation of citizens who are equal under the law. The two fundamental principles of "liberty" and "equality" are well articulated within Naeini's legitimate government theory. Therefore, this theory can be considered as pioneering in modernizing the political structure of the country based on fundamental democratic principles. The research methodology employed is descriptive-analytical and relies on library research.   Keywords: Naeini, Arendt, positive freedom, participation, and foundation.   <div style="mso-element: footnote-list;"> <hr align="left" size="1" width="33%" /> <div id="ftn1" style="mso-element: footnote;"> <a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title="" href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1">*</a> Ph.D. Student of political Science, Imam Khomeini and Islamic Revolution Research Institute, Iran h.jafari848586@gmail.com </div> <div id="ftn2" style="mso-element: footnote;"> <a style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title="" href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2">**</a> Corresponding Author: Associate Professor, Department of Applied Policy Studies, Research Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies, Iran m.alavipour@gmail.com </div> </div>   Manuscript profile

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of happiness training on positive affect and life expectancy in women with postpartum depression. The statistical population of this research included all women with postpartum depression who referred to health centers in Kohgiluyeh, Iran during the first quarter of 1400 (Iranian calendar year). From this population, 30 women were randomly selected and assigned to experimental and control groups (15 participants in each group). Both groups completed the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) by Watson and the Herth Hope Index (HHI) before the intervention. The experimental group participated in eight 120-minute group happiness training sessions. After the intervention, both groups completed the questionnaires again. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way MANCOVA with SPSS software. The findings indicated a significant positive relationship between happiness training and both positive affect and life expectancy in women with postpartum depression (P < 0.05), as demonstrated by one-way ANCOVA. Therefore, happiness training is an active, purposeful, and appropriate treatment for psychological disorders in primary care centers. This treatment improves patient performance, enhances skills, and helps patients cope with their issues and problems. Manuscript profile
