Networks on an optical chip are one of the simplest ways to solve the addressing problem between bulk interconnected networks. That's why high-performance, high-bandwidth multi-processor chips will be needed in the future. Optical chip networks were introduced as a new generation of on-chip networks that overcome all the limitations of this type of network and have many advantages such as high communication bandwidth, low transmission delay. And power consumption is low. On the other hand, networks on optical chips have challenges, one of the most important of which is the routing of optical data in the optical layer, because how the path is selected affects the optical loss factor. In this paper, routing algorithms free from the impasse of adaptive rotational models, circuit switching and various traffic patterns to reduce light loss in the optical layer by considering a 5-port unobstructed router and two-dimensional grid or Mesh will be provided. Finally, we compare the simulation results with similar methods such as the XY-based algorithm and examine the improvements obtained. Manuscript profile -

Accordingly, the present study tries to explore the natural environment of the city of Harsin for the development of residential areas with a view to future development. The present research is based on library, field and software methods. In this research, eight criteria included Elevation, Slope, Aspect, Distance from the River, Distance from Fault, Lithology, Road and Land use has been used. The research methodology is a combination of the preparation of information layers in the ARC GIS environment, Standardization by Fuzzy Logic and Weighing in the form of AHP model and zoning using two models of OWA and WLC. The results showed that the present and current urban area in terms of environmental and geomorphological parameters in the research is in good relative condition and based on the models used by OWA and WLC, it is 8.8 and 9.6 square kilometers, respectively. Nevertheless, there are inappropriate areas in the direction of urban development and urbanization of Harsin which often include mountain units and high Slope region, Rivers and Faults. The final result of the research also indicates the significant role of geomorphic units in the formation of urban systems And on this basis, we can say The present study, with the existing system-based comparative approach, is an effective model for managing the development of around- cities areas in the future.

Then, the resulting specifications can be composed to prepare the final specification. Much work has been done so far for the specification of non-probabilistic systems regarding viewpoints (or expectations) of different stakeholders; however, because of big trend to apply formal methods on probabilistic systems, in this paper, we present an approach to compose viewpoints of different stakeholders in the specification of probabilistic systems. According to this approach, different viewpoints are separately specified using the Z notation. Then, the resulting specifications are composed using some new operators proposed in this paper. We show the applicability of the presented approach by performing it on a known case study. Manuscript profile -

In sentiment analysis, the goal is to analyze the opinion texts posted in social networks and other web-based resources to extract the necessary information from them. The data collected from various social networks and web sites do not possess a structured format, and this unstructured format is the main challenge for facing such data. It is necessary to represent the texts in the form of a text representation model to be able to analyze the content to overcome this challenge. Afterward, the required analysis can be done. The research on text modeling started a few decades ago, and so far, various models have been proposed for performing this modeling process. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of a number of commons and famous text representation models for sentiment analysis. This evaluation is carried out by using these models for sentiment classification by ensemble methods. An ensemble classifier is used for sentiment classification and after preprocessing, the texts is represented by selected models. The selected models for this study are TF-IDF, LSA, Word2Vec, and Doc2Vec and the used evaluation measures are Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F-Measure. The results of the study show that in general, the Doc2Vec model provides better performance compared to other models in sentiment analysis and at best, accuracy is 0.72. Manuscript profile -

In order to build an emotion analyzer based on users' opinions on social media, after extracting important features between words by convolutional layers, we use LSTM layers to establish the relationship behind the sequence of words and extract the important features of the text. With discovery of new features extracted by LSTM, the ability of the proposed model to classify the stock values of companies increases. This article is based on the data of Nguyen et al. (2015) and uses only the emotional information of people in social networks to predict stocks. Given that we categorize each user's message into one of the emotional classes "Strong Buy", "Buy", "Hold", "Sell", "Strong Sell", this model can predict the stock value of the next day, whether it will be high or low. The proposed structure consisted of 21 layers of neural networks consisting of convolutional neural networks and long short-term memory network. These networks were implemented to predict the stock markets of 18 companies. Although some of the previously presented models have used for emotion analysis to predict the capital markets, the advanced hybrid methods have not been performed in deep networks with a good forecasting accuracy. The results were compared with 8 baseline methods and indicate that the performance of the proposed method is significantly better than other baselines. For daily forecasts of stocks changes, it resulted in 19.80% improvement in the prediction accuracy, compared with the deep CNN, and 24.50% and 23.94% improvement compared with the models developed by Nguyen et al. (2015) and Derakhshan et al. (2019), respectively. Manuscript profile -

When the prophets of God sought to correct the people and their societies, bring reconciliation and peace and guide people, a great number of people of that time disagreed with them; because, their guidance was contrary to the superficial and common aspirations of those societies and their people. In this regard, one of the most controversial issues among the nations and governments is states crimes, which affect the physical, psychological, ethical, social and individual well-being of the citizens. No Jurisdiction, institution, or law has placed this behavior in the banned area of conduct and does not impose any liability, especially criminal liability, on the states. The present article seeks to analyze and prove the necessity of criminalization of states crime from the perspective of ethical-psychological foundations. Manuscript profile -

The entry approach to the today’s business world is technology and the master key of the technology is commercialization and value added created by it. Commercialization is the conversion process of the new technologies to the commercially successful products. Commercialization is containing different arrays of technical, commercial and financial process which converts the new technology into the useful products or services. In other word, commercialization of research findings is the link between technology and market and the focus of it is on the end rings of value chain. Since delivering a product to the market can be the guarantee of organization success and survival, commercialization, the technical knowledge is known as a vital factor. In research organizations, research doesn’t have meaning without product commercialization. Because producing or testing an idea seems useless without access to the product special customers. In order to apply the concept of commercialization in organizations, it’s necessary to be familiar with the commercialization models. A classification of commercialization models are classified into two categories: linear and functional. Due to the importance of linear models, in this article after checking the concept of commercialization, we will check the most important commercial linear models. The linear models are the Goldsmith, Kokobu, Cooper, Rothwell & Zegfeld model, Andrew & Sirkin, Jolley, and the Yeong–Deok Lee models. Manuscript profile -

Technology transfer is a complex and difficult process that without adequate research and study may lead to wasting money, time and technology weakening. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework to examine the factors affecting technology transfer with the comparative approach. Therefore, we first briefly discussed the definition of technology transfer and then technology transfer models were discussed in detail. Subsequently, examples of studies conducted in Iran to better understand the issues were presented. Results were obtained by comparing the different theoretical perspectives, and factors affecting technology transfer in ten overall categories of familiarity with market, willingness and ability of the technology transfer and technology receptor, level of technological risk and uncertainty, technology life cycle, organizational interactions, nature of the technology, the aim of the cooperation, economic and financial factors, characteristics of the technology holder (source) and R&D activities were introduced. Each of these factors includes indicators which can be used to assess the models of technology transfer. Finally, based on the findings, the proposed framework is suggested to improve the success and effectiveness of technology transfer projects in Iran. Manuscript profile -

The improvement in the relationship between science and technology, the integration of science and industry, the appearance of industries based on science, the use of science as a means to generate competitive advantages on the part of the firms, as well as the globalization of the economy and internationalization of technology, are some of the reasons which justify cooperative relationships between firms and research organizations. Developing relations between Industry and University by cause and positive effect on technological, economic and social changes and transformations was noticed by strategists, politicians and university and industry planners, and was more effort toward creating an effective linkage between university and industry. The 21st century is the century of knowledge-based international economic competition. Industry without online knowledge will surely die and knowledge without applying in industrial operation is not valueless, necessitating the connection between Industry and University. The present paper aims to review the existed theories and models of relationship between Industry, University and other influential institutions in knowledge-based economy. In this study, we reviewed “Triple Helix models TH1, TH2, TH3” (Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff), Quadruple Helix (Carayannis and Campbell), “Quintuple Helix” (Carayannis and Campbell), and represented and reviewed the “Islamic Republic of Iran’s’ Regional Quintuple Helix” (Samadi Miarkolaei), and “N-Tuple of Helices” between Industry and University (Leydesdorff), followed by presenting some suggestions to improve relations between Industry and University.

Projects are organizational strategic processes, performed to achieve business goals. Researches indicate a large number of organizations do not achieve the business goals in the execution of their projects. Therefore, in order to reduce and control the problems of the projects, the classic project management approach must be changed to strategic project management for optimizing the performance and success of a project. Strategic project management can propel companies to better achieve corporate goals. So, organizations should have a formal planning and execution framework in accordance with the strategic approach, to achieve competitive advantage and better performance. Project managers and teams must learn how to focus the business aspects of their projects and better support their company’s strategy, rather than just focus on meeting traditional time, budget, and performance goals. This paper employs a literature review approach, and presents the description of the strategic project management concept and its difference with classical project management. Then, the strategic project management models that help organizations to achieve success and create a competitive advantage have been reviewed. Finally, the authors have concluded, in order to achieve competitive advantage, project success and better performance of organization, the executive and project managers should consider the strategic aspect of project management and implement strategic project management processes in organization.

We are creative and we can get more creative. Stakeholder theory and recent developments in value creation through stakeholder engagement can assist with reconciliation of this inherent structural risk. The limitations of existing open innovation typologies are identified, and a process-based model of open innovation is proposed. The model is then expanded to include stakeholder engagement. When integrated with stakeholder engagement, open innovation processes can be understood to generate benefits beyond the acquisition of specific information sought from external experts. The addition of stakeholder engagement to the open innovation model allows for greater understanding and easier acceptance of the risks inherent in the open innovation process. Therefore this application article uses library overview and in addition to this, it focuses on open innovation literature and some of its models.

The statistics show that billions of dollars are spent on these business intelligence systems (BIS), which show how important they are. Also, the cost of these systems is a large part of the expense of the organization. Unfortunately, with all these huge costs in these systems, more than half of the BI projects do not go to the real benefits of business intelligence systems. Here's one reason why organizations are not able to grasp the real benefits of business intelligence systems: Many of them are not ready for these systems. This is due to some of the challenges in implementing BI systems in organizations. BI implementation experiences show that the successful implementation of BI is beyond the implementation of technical infrastructure (hardware aspects) and requires the control of soft aspects and change management, which are recognized as the most difficult aspects of the successful implementation of BI applications. Business intelligence is a complex concept and has multi-layered architecture, which is why the BI readiness model is needed. Assessing BI readiness identifies specific implementation risk sections to manage and reduce these risks and thus increase the likelihood of BI success. So far, several models have been developed to prepare BI systems. In this paper, introduced models for BI readiness are presented, and then these models are compared based on the factors influencing BI readiness. Manuscript profile -

But today's world is so complex and chaotic that decision-making struggles with so many problems. In complex environments, information changes rapidly and covers a wide range. The point to consider in decision making is that it is not always successful, that is, there is always the possibility of success or failure, many factors affect the ability to make decisions. In today's complex world, decision-making has become a challenge for managers. The number of decision criteria, the variety of criteria and types of quantitative and qualitative decision-making methods and the need to consider them simultaneously, the importance of the effects and consequences of the decision and factors such as it add to the complexity of decisions. Regarding the criteria of human moral decision-making, it should be mentioned that the method of decision-making in the Islamic system is contingent and participatory, and the basis in this system is the important principle of "passion". The mentioned cases are more prominent among the managers of service organizations who are faced with a large volume of clients and as a result of immediate and instantaneous decisions, because the decision-making time is very short for them and it is possible to examine a variety of options. It fades in the traditional way. One of these very sensitive and concerned organizations is the Social Security Organization. Therefore, in order to analyze the factors affecting decision making, the present study examines the decision and its characteristics, decision models. Then, with the help of content analysis, the indicators and characteristics of each decision model are extracted.

The author of this paper believes that a deliberation over the history of philosophy can reveal the traces of certain models for philosophizing. A model for philosophizing in its general sense indicates an allegorical mould based on which and within the framework of which a philosopher formulates his philosophy and his method of philosophizing. Accordingly, one can provide a general classification for all models of history of philosophy and then explain each of them. Based on the trend of the development of history of philosophy and the activities of philosophers, the models of philosophizing can be divided into three neutral, positivist, and negativist groups in general. The mirror (reflective) and narrative (iterative) models can be placed in the neutral category. However, the positivist models themselves can be divided into two mechanical and organic groups. The encyclopedic models fall under the first group, while the mathematical-tree (Descartes) models, mathematical-geometrical (Spinoza), puzzle-like models (Hume), architectural models (Kant), dialectic architectural models (Hegel), universalist organic architectural models (Schopenhauer), phenomenological architectural models (Heidegger in Being and Time) and logical architectural models (early Wittgenstein) belong to the second group. The therapeutic model (late Wittgenstein) and post-modern philosophies can be categorized under negativist models. Manuscript profile -

The lack of proper planning and adoption will lead to the ignorance of necessities and fail in implementation. Since the different dimensions of government are related to each other, the creation and development of e-government is possible only with balanced development in all aspects. Review of the literature in this area suggests that the e-government maturity models, development models and strategic models, all have seen the evolution of e-government from one dimension; and in the field of stakeholders of e-government services, the focus has been only on the supply side of stakeholders. In this paper by reviewing existing models and stakeholder theories, with a systematic approach that will be adapted from Zachman framework, systematic Framework will be presented for the implementation of integrated e-government system.

In this regard, it is MoreNowadays, choosing the most effective and optimum strategy for selecting and assigning students to the target schools due to its great impact on the quality and quantity of education is one of the important concerns of the educational institution. In this regard, it is necessary to determine the appropriate criteria for appropriate selection of students, taking into account the standards and educational needs of students. In this research, from the perspective of the academic level, the student-to-school distance and the ideal planning approach, a decision-making model with distinct goals for selecting and assigning students to nonprofit and governmental schools is presented. According to the proposed method, firstly, the assessment of the students is carried out in relation to the schools in the target area, with two approaches of distance between the student and the target school and the academic level correspondence. The results of these assessment, based on the new and applied BWM, determining the weight of the academic level and the distance to the school by each student toward the school. In the next step, based on the level of science weights and the distance between each student and school, ideal planning modelling is revised for each student. In this case, the specified weights are the main inputs and the required ideal constraints are also considered. Finally, by solving the proposed model, the optimal assignment of students to each of the schools is done. After the students have been assigned to the target schools, we may encounter lack of capacity in some schools. In this case, by providing a flowchart, the way of students’ relocation to the standard capacity for all schools is explained. Also, due to the implementation of the proposed research methodology for allocating students to the schools belonging to the "Mallard" region, and conducting relevant evaluations and calculations, the sensitivity analysis has also been done. The final results of the sensitivity analysis of the proposed model indicate that the lack of consideration of the academic level approach causes changes in selection and allocation of students to schools. Therefore, the academic level should be taken into account in assessments related to the allocation of students to schools. Manuscript profile -

Due to some constraints in speech recognition system, the multiple phone units approach is utilized for extracting context dependent phone units. In this approach, each phoneme is clustered to some phoneme variations, and then each phoneme variation is modeled separately. Unsupervised phoneme clustering is done using k-means clustering algorithm. The new effective method is proposed for calculating the centroid of clusters. The proper number of cluster for each phoneme is determined according to amount of training data for that phoneme and recognition accuracy of that phoneme using context independent models. The number of clusters is then optimized by try and error methods. Then each cluster is modeled as a context dependent phone unit. The reduction in word error rate is about 22% using these models.

The interscale dependency between parent and child coefficients is one of the statistical properties of wavelets. So, in the recent years instead of univariate distribution, bivariate density functions have been suggested by the researchers and in this paper we use a mixture of bivariate Laplacian densities for this reason. Using this distribution we are able to model both heavy-tailed property and interscale dependency of wavelets. Using the mentioned density function for a minimum mean squared error estimator, we obtain a new shrinkage function for denoising. Applying this function to each subband of discrete complex wavelet transform of abdominal computerized tomography images, we will be able to improve the quality of these images better than some reported methods.

However, recognizing activities in advance is a very challenging task, because people perform their activities in different ways, also, some activities are simple while others are complex and comprised of several smaller atomic sub-activities. In this paper, we use skeletons captured from low-cost depth RGB-D sensors as high-level descriptions of the human body. We propose a method capable of recognizing simple and complex human activities by formulating it as a structured prediction task using probabilistic graphical models (PGM). We test our method on three popular datasets: CAD-60, UT-Kinect, and Florence 3D. These datasets cover both simple and complex activities. Also, our method is sensitive to clustering methods that are used to determine the middle states, we evaluate test different clustering, methods. Manuscript profile -

Total world capacity of PV units has grown exponentially from 1.5 GW in 2000 to about 300 GW in 2016. This paper presents an analytical method for evaluating the reliability of large photovoltaic farms with regard to the changes in input power and reliability indices of unit components. The proposed method is not only capable of estimating the annual energy production of the photovoltaic units, but also able to calculate the system reliability indices. With Markov approach, Frequency and Duration method is utilized in order to model a photovoltaic farm similar to the multistate conventional units. Probability, frequency and transition rate of each state is obtained using the statistical data of solar radiation as well as operational characteristics of a photovoltaic unit. Due to the large number of solar radiation and PV modules operational states, k-means clustering algorithm is used for data classification. This analytical method is applied to the RBTS to demonstrate the effectiveness of developed approach. Capacity credit using LOLF index, is more than what obtained in the case of LOLE index. This observation can be explained through the variable nature of solar radiation in comparison with conventional units. Hence there is a need to obtain a model which reflects the frequency based reliability indices of PV systems. Manuscript profile -

Thus exploratory mixed method was used and the qualitative research methods is based on grounded theory approach. Data collection tool was Interview (structured and semi-structured) with 15 managers and superintendents that were selected using snowball sampling and the method for data analysis is content analysis. Competency codes and components (155 key concept, 33 sub-categories, 11 main categories) were extracted from interviews and a conceptual grounded model was developed. The central concept is "personal characteristics of the superintendents" in the four dimensions of characteristics: personality, moral, insight and analysis. The model was prepared and completed according to causal conditions (personal factors, organizational factors), contextual conditions (individual conditions, organizational conditions), intervening conditions (constraints, environmental conditions), strategies (superintendent’s personal development, organizational development) and consequences (superintendent competency development at the individual level, improving the quality of the organization). With use of the Delphi research methodology, a questionnaire was designed and the model was modified and approved by experts. The test for research hypotheses were formulated and the tested questionnaire was designed and completed by 170 managers and superintendent and the collecting and analyzing of the data and testing of the hypotheses were done by using confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis using SPSS, and PLS. The results of the quantitative phase showed that the relations in the model were confirmed with a satisfactory impact coefficient except 4 out of 16 cases as follows: the impact of the organizational factors on the personal factors, impact of the personal factors on the organization development strategies, personal conditions on the personal development of the superintendents, and environmental conditions on the organizational development strategies. Therefore, the above mentioned factors were not significant and these routes were not consistent with the designed model in the quality department and was not verified as for the quantitative aspect.

However, such networks are prone to severe signal attenuation and noise in a number of scenarios. Significant research in recent years has consequently focused on establishment of robust and accurate attenuation models to estimate channel noise and subsequent signal loss. The identified challenge therefore is to identify or develop accurate computationally inexpensive models implementable on available hardware for generation of estimates with low error and validate the solutions experimentally. The present work surveys some of the most relevant recent work in this domain, with added emphasis on rain attenuation models and machine learning based approaches, and offers a perspective on the establishment of a suitable dynamic signal attenuation model for high-speed wireless communication in outdoor as well as indoor environments, presenting the performance evaluation of an autoregression-based machine learning model. Multiple versions of the model are compared on the basis of root mean square error (RMSE) for different orders of regression polynomials to find the best-fit solution. The accuracy of the technique proposed in the paper is then compared in terms of RMSE to corresponding moderate and high complexity machine learning techniques implementing adaptive spline regression and artificial neural networks respectively. The proposed method is found to be quite accurate with low complexity, allowing the method to be practically applicable in multiple scenarios. Manuscript profile -

It is also argued that viability assessment can help implement new urban plans by providing a descriptive method for assessing urban environments and their quality, and varied approaches. Living quality is one of the main concepts of urban design, which has practical and theoretical importance. In this research, an attempt was made to formulate a theoretical framework to explain the concept of happiness in the environment by analyzing the scope of Tajrish and placing a policy for creating happy environments. Then, by introducing and recognizing its constituent components, a model should be presented in order to extract solutions called design policies. Therefore, after reviewing the quality indicators through selected criteria related to happiness, they have been studied in four influential dimensions. By measuring the extracted situation, the results showed that in addition to the three main stages of knowing the current situation, knowing the future ahead, the connection between the past and the future, which in urban culture is called livability, the fifth phase of analysis with three main components including, Identity, structure, and meaning have emerged that will be responsive to the policies of the four main dimensions.

However, many projects regarding the development of pedestrian tourism routes are not welcomed by the public when operationalized due to their lack of liveness, despite the huge costs and time dedicated to them in the pre-planning phase. Therefore, the main question posed in this regard is whether there is any significant difference between different people in terms of knowing the factors involved in the liveliness of urban pedestrian zones. The answer to this question could be of great importance, especially in countries like Iran where the decisions to intervene in public spaces are taken unilaterally without the participation of the prospective users of such projects. Thus, this study sought to identify the barriers to obtaining liveliness in Charbagh Abbasi Pedestrian Street" in Isfahan via the Q method, trying to analyze the attitude of different people in this regard using Q factor analysis. To this end, ten frequent users of Charbagh Abbasi Pedestrian Street were selected via snowball sampling method, ten subjects were selected. Moreover, the required data were collected via semi-structured interviews with those ten participants and the review of the related literature, based on which some thirty-nine barriers were identified and prioritized. Finally, Based on the findings of Q factor analysis, the attitude of the participants was classified into three main categories. In other words, the findings of the study revealed three different perspectives on the barriers to obtaining the desired liveliness in such an urban space. Manuscript profile -

The summaries generated this way, are structurally more readable and usually convey the complete meaning to the reader. In these methods, embedding vectors are used for semantic representation, in which the weight of each word vector is learned according to its neighboring words from a large corpus. In static word embedding, the weight of the vectors is obtained by choosing a proximity window for each word. But in contextual ones like BERT, multilayer transformers are applied to calculate the weight of these vectors, which pay attention to all the words in the text. So far, several papers have shown that contextual word embedding are more successful than the other ones due to the ability of fine-tuning the weights to perform a specific natural language processing task. However, the performance of the initial weights of these vectors is not investigated for headline generation from Persian texts. In this paper, we will investigate the behavior of pre-trained word embedding variants without fine-tuning in deep headline generation from Persian texts. To train the headline generation model, "Elam Net" is used, which is a Persian corpus containing about 350 thousand pairs of abstracts and titles of scientific papers. The results show that the use of BERT model, even without fine-tuning its weights, is effective in improving the quality of generated Persian headlines, bringing the ROUGE-1 metric to 42%, which is better than the other pre-trained ones.

Various factors and drivers, especially information and communication technologies and digital developments, have transformed universities' role in shaping the more comprehensive higher education system. In this article, based on the study of Orr et al. (2020), five scenarios and models of higher education for 2010 are presented. These scenarios include Tamagotchi, Jenga, Lego, Transformer, and Garbage Can. The Tamagotchi model is a classic approach to higher education that begins immediately after high school, leads to a bachelor's or master's degree, leads to a job, and ends the path to higher education. The Jenga model is more attractive to non-traditional students in short-term learning courses and focuses on the following stages of self-learning and organization. The Lego model is named separate composite modules of different sizes that create a self-contained, non-standardized learning path rather than a compact unit. The Transformer model represents learners who may be extended past their primary education but return to higher education to gain new knowledge or upgrade needed skills. According to this model, everyone should have opportunities to leave their current career path and change it. In the Garbage Can scenario, learners choose a combination of Tamagotchi, Jenga, Lego, and Transformer scenarios according to their work-life situation and individual goals. Universities and educational institutions depend on the institutional mission and focal values. In this scenario, applicants and academic institutions will have multiple teaching-learning choices. Digital developments are technical innovation and social innovation, the consequences of which should be considered for society, the labor market, and the higher education systemThe Tamagotchi model is a classic approach to higher education that begins immediately after high school, leads to a bachelor's or master's degree, leads to a job, and ends the path to higher education.

Emphasizing students' learning styles, which is a crucial aspect of individual differences, is of paramount importance. This descriptive-analytic study investigates the relationship between the learning styles of architecture students and their creativity and academic performance. Additionally, in the second phase of the research, the impact of proposed architecture training models on enhancing learners' creativity is examined. The statistical sample comprises 107 individuals, including high school students and both undergraduate (BA) and graduate (MA) students. Data collection was conducted using Kolb's learning styles questionnaire. Furthermore, the grades from the design workshop courses of the students before and after implementing the educational models were recorded. In this research, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was utilized to determine the significance of varying levels of creativity among different learning styles. Additionally, in the second phase of the study, an independent t-test was employed to assess the impact of the educational models on improving learners' creativity. The results indicate that students with a divergent learning style exhibited the best performance in creative design and adaptation to educational models. Finally, the integration of individuals with different learning styles into groups for design projects was presented.</span></p> Manuscript profile
