        With the advancement of mankind in the information age and the advent of the digital information age, dependence on national infrastructure has become more important than ever. Lack of cyber security in infrastructure, disrupts the functioning of various sectors such as government, economy and services. By disrupting critical infrastructure, irreparable damage may occur in areas such as human casualties, economic damage, and loss of public confidence. Thus, information technology and cyber security have a special place in the digital arena. Accordingly, one of the most important challenges of different countries today, which can also harm national security, is cyber-attacks. This study explores to provide a cyber security maturity model for critical infrastructure. This study examines and analyzes five crucial models of cyber security maturity.The research shows that the cybersecurity maturity models are significantly similar to each other. By comparative study and comparison between the analyzed models, 48 indicators were obtained. Examination of these indicators shows that some of them overlap with other indicators. Therefore overlapping indices were classified into 16 groups based on frequency. Then, these groups by clustering analysis method and according to the obtained data, using SPSS software were organized in five levels, based on which the cyber security maturity model for critical infrastructure was presented.

        2 - Comparative study of nature as one of the consequences of previous worlds in transcendental wisdom and religious education

        The many verses and narrations that have been introduced about the doctrine of the previous worlds have led Muslim thinkers to theorize about it throughout history. Transcendent wisdom, as an epistemological system based on philosophical methodology and inspired by pure religious teachings, is not removed from this rule; Therefore, Mulla Sadra has expressed a special theory about the previous worlds and the way of human presence there. He believes that human beings at a rank (not a time) before appearing in the world had intellectual identities that were pulled out from the back of their intellectual fathers and with the intuition of God's lordship, they said "yes" with the language of the present and made a covenant. In the Shia traditions, two worlds of "spirits" (spirits without a body) and "Zar" (spirits with will and perception) are clearly mentioned. But one of the theological-epistemological consequences of believing in this doctrine is the issue of nature. According to the theory of Sadr al-Mutalahin, presence in previous worlds has no effect on the discovery and quality of this truth in humans; Because nature is a special human creation that is common and the same in all human beings. But according to Shia traditions, human nature is the result of his presence and knowledge in previous worlds; Therefore, first of all, human natures are not completely the same, secondly, human discretion and choices play a role in the formation of his nature, and thirdly, some natures are praised and others are condemned.

        3 - A Comparative Study on Human Agency in Bandura’s Cognitive-Social Theory and the Islamic Approach of “Human as agent”

        The purpose of this article is to compare the concept of agency in Bandura's cognitive-social theory and the Islamic approach of "human as agent". According to Bandura, agency refers to a voluntary effect on one's performance and environmental events, which has the main aspects of intentionality, foresight, self-reaction, and self-reflection. On the other hand, in the Islamic perspective, human action or agency is based on three fundamental bases: cognition, tendency, and volition. In terms of methodology, the current study is a comparative study that deals with similarities and differences of two viewpoints with a glance on their roots. In the educational section, Frankena’s practical syllogism is used as the method. The basics and aspects of agency in both perspectives have a lot in common, in such a way that foresight and self-reflection in the first perspective can be compared with the cognition in the second approach; as self-reactivity and intentionality in the first approach can be compared with the emotional and volitional bases in the second approach. Despite this, the two views have differences in issues such as the concept of action and performance, the nature of interactive, cognitive, emotional and volitional aspects, the nature of interaction, responsibility and ethics, which will have relevant consequences for education. While, for instance, the first approach emphasizes the importance of structure, the second approach gives more weight to individual agency, and as a result of this difference, the role and influence of the individual within social structures will be different. Given the importance of human agency which is at issue in the two approaches, their commonalities are emphasized in the educational inferences. Manuscript profile
