        Death, which can somehow be linked with religion, is a major concern to all people. Mankind has nourished many grate dreams and thoughts and just these great desires have caused his flourishing and elevation ‚ and where his dreams and desires cannot be practicable‚ he realized them with makind legends and mythical characters. One of these wonderful dreams which mankind has brought in to being, is everlastingness or immortality that has been reflected either in nations legends‚ fables and mythical works ‚ such as Gilgamesh ‚ Achilles, invulnerability of Isfandyar , or in religious narratives like Khezr. The dream of everlastingness made the mankind find a way to realize it. The human’s masterpieces throughout the history reflected this dream in an artistic language. Mawlānā’s Mathnavi is one of these masterpieces, where Mawlānā being inspired with Quran and the prophetic sentences, believes that love is the base of being, and due to the essence common to both God and mankind, i.e. the Divine Spirit breathed in mankind, he can become God-like and make himself eternal. The present article studies “the desire to eternity” in Mawlānā’s views, referring to his source of inspiration, and relying on some verses from Mathnavi and Divan-e Shams. Manuscript profile

        The idea behind the research is to deal with real-time 3D imaging that may extensively be referred to the fields of medical science and engineering in general. It is to note that most effective non-contact measurement techniques can include the structured light patterns, provided in the surface of object for the purpose of acquiring its 3D depth. The traditional structured light pattern can now be known as the fringe pattern. In this study, the conventional approaches, realized in the fringe pattern analysis with applications to 3D imaging such as wavelet and Fourier transform are efficiently investigated. In addition to the frequency estimation algorithm in most of these approaches, additional unwrapping algorithm is needed to extract the phase, coherently. Considering problems regarding phase unwrapping of fringe algorithm surveyed in the literatures, a state-of-the-art approach is here organized to be proposed. In the aforementioned proposed approach, the key characteristics of the same conventional algorithms such as the frequency estimation and the Itoh algorithm are synchronously realized. At the end, the results carried out through the simulation programs have revealed that the proposed approach is able to extract image phase of simulated fringe patterns and correspondingly realistic patterns with high quality. Another advantage of this investigated approach is considered as its real-time application, while a significant part of operations might be executed in parallel. Manuscript profile

        Given the emergence of Digital Transformation from Industry 4.0 and the rapid dissemination of technological innovations as well as their impact as a strong driving force in new businesses, efforts should be made to identify the dimensions of this core factor as rapidly as possible. Providing a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the model. The purpose of this article is to provide insights into the state of the art of digital transformation in the last years and suggest ways for future research. This analysis is like a mapping of the subject literature into categories, so that with the help of a number of experts the evolutionary trends can be identified and further researched. In this way, with a deeper understanding of the subject, we have attempted to identify existing gaps. The findings suggest that organizations of all sizes must adapt their business strategy to the realities of digital transformation. This will largely lead to changing business processes as well as managing operations in a new and more intelligent tool-based way. Based on this research, organizations will evolve not just on their own, but on the whole value chain, and this will clearly change the way they produce and deliver value. Organizations can develop their digital ecosystem by creating and developing innovation centers and using open innovation strategy, and as a result, link their digital business to a value chain. Also in this article, we have identified the main categories and subcategories by examining the sources and using the grounded theory approach, as well as determining the relationship between them. Finally, we completed the work by identifying the digital transformation model as the central phenomenon of research. Manuscript profile

        The paper proposes a new real life model and the main aim is to examine the cost benefit analysis of Textile Industry model subject to different failure and repair strategies. The reliability model comprises of three units i,e Spinning machine (S), Weaving machine (W), Colouring and Finishing machine(Cf). The working principal of the model starts with spinning machine (S) where in unit S is in operative state while as weaving machine, Colouring and Finishing machine are in ideal state. Complete failure of system is observed when all three units of system i.e. S,W and Cf are in down state. Repairperson is always available to carry out the repair activities in the system in which first priority in repair is given to Colouring and Finishing machine followed by Spinning and weaving machine. The proposed model attempts to maximize the reliability of a real life system. Reliability measures such as Mean Sojourn time, Mean time to system failure, Profit analysis of system are examined to define the performance of the reliability characteristics. For concluding the study of such model, different stochastic measures are analyzed in steady state using regenerative point technique. The tables are prepared for arbitrary values of the parameters to show the performance of some important reliability measures and to check the efficiency of the model under such situations.

        In order to survive in active and changing business environment, organizations should provide vital information for the managers by using new methods in a very short time. As Small and Medium Enterprises are the heart of economy; there’s no doubt in the importance of small and medium industries’ role in countries’ economic development so they need to use this new methods and systems. By using new technologies, SMEs are able to apply new processes like supply chain management, customer relationship management, and knowledge management. Business intelligence as a new concept could integrate the scattered and heterogeneous organizational data and by using business intelligence systems, SME's would be able to provide multi-dimensional analytical reports for their managers to make correct decisions. In addition to above systems, a powerful, committed and adaptive leadership method could provide the basis for effective utilization of the business intelligence systems. In this article, first we introduce Business Intelligence and Transformational leadership, and then we will investigate the importance of business intelligence systems usage and the role of transformational management in SMEs.

        The problem of the simplicity or combination of the derivative is one of the controversial issues which, in spite of its similarity to mentally-posited discussions, has sometimes affected philosophical debates. The present paper reports on the results of a critical study of Jurjani’s reasoning regarding the simplicity of the derivative. In his view, whenever the derivative is assumed to consist of “shayin lahu …”, in case of attaining the concept of “shay”, interference of general accident in differentia occurs. However, in case of attaining the extension of “shay”, the transformation of the possible proposition through the necessary happens. In the first case, the differentia fails to be a differentia, and in the second case the direction of possibility is removed from the world of reality. In order to explain the quality of the transformation, a solution has been presented which analyzes the concept of portion and the role of limitation and determination in the predicate. Here, the writers, in spite of considering this argument to be perfect, clarify that the given reason for demonstrating the simplicity of the derivative is inefficient and is only capable of deriving the concept or referent of “shay” from the truth of the derivative.

        Remote sensing image registration is the method of aligning two images from the same scene taken under different imaging circumstances containing different times, angles, or sensors. Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) is one of the most common matching methods previously used in the remote sensing image registration. The defects of SIFT are the large number of mismatches and high execution time due to the high dimensions of classical SIFT descriptor. These drawbacks reduce the efficiency of the SIFT algorithm. To enhance the performance of the remote sensing image registration, this paper proposes an approach consisting of three different steps. At first, the keypoints of both reference and second images are extracted using SIFT algorithm. Then, to increase the speed of the algorithm and accuracy of the matching, the SIFT descriptor with the vector length of 64 is used for keypoints description. Finally, a new method has been proposed for the image matching. The proposed matching method is based on calculating the distances of keypoints and their transformed points. Simulation results of applying the proposed method to some standard databases demonstrated the superiority of this approach compared with some other existing methods, according to the root mean square error (RMSE), precision and running time criteria.

        A lot of methodologies for evaluation of the lean transformation have been proposed in the literature, but just a few of them explicit relations among the components of the lean enterprise transformation, with focusing on the priority and identification of the relative weight of each element on the lean transformation have been considered. Therefore, we try to quantify those relations in this study. So, to structural investigate the relationships among the elements, a model is proposed that presents a novel comprehensive insight to the lean transformation process. This study proposed an analytic modeling approach in the lean enterprise transformation to identify the weights of the elements. The goal is to operationalize the highly qualitative relationships among the lean transformation components. In this paper 32 effective factors in lean enterprise transformation, identified as "sub sub criterion" were grouped into eight categories classified as "sub criterion". These eight sub criteria classified through 3 criteria in the higher level which are “organizational asset development”, “quick adaptation to markets and competitive superiority acquisition” and “supply and distribution network optimization These three criteria were proposed as the major criteria involved in "delivery value maximizing", and ultimately, the value maximizing recognized as the main target of the lean transformation in companies. Fuzzy DEMATEL technique and fuzzy analytic network process modeling are used to determine the relationships and the relative weights of each component and then with fuzzy VIKOR method, 25 identified solutions related to conceptual model were ranked for implementing the lean transformation which regard the organizational purposes and the weights of the end level parameters of the conceptual model in a proposal framework. The present evaluating lean enterprise transformation is a comprehensive model that can be applied to different production industries. This model also was investigated in automative parts industry.

        one of the most prevalent causes for mortality of infants is cardiac failure. Recordings of heart electrical activities by Electrocardiogram (ECG) are a safe method to detect abnormal arrhythmia in time and reduce cardiac failure in newborns. However, the non-invasive extraction of fetal ECG (fECG) from the maternal abdominal is quite challenging, since the fECG signals are often corrupted by some electrical noises from other sources such as: maternal heart activity, uterine contractions, and respiration, in addition to instrumental noises. Among such signals, the maternal heart signal (due to high amplitude) has the most disruptive effect and the fetal brain signal (due to low amplitude) has the least effect on distortion of the fetal heart signal. In this paper, a new method for extracting fECG signals from multichannel abdominal recordings is proposed. The proposed method uses Compressive Sensing (CS)to reduce the computational complexity and fast Independent Component Analysis (fICA) algorithm to estimate the sources. Also, for finding sparse representations of the acquired ECG signals, two dictionaries namely: discrete cosine transformation and discrete wavelet transform are deployed here. The proposed method is then implemented and its performance is tested using the well-known and publicly available database used in 2013 Physionet Challenge. The performance results are compared with that of the best performing existing methods. The results show that the proposed method based on CS and ICA outperforms the existing detection methods with a Mean Minimum Square Error (MMSE) of 171.65, and therefore can be used for non-invasive and reliable extraction fECG from abdominal recordings.

        The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of succession planning on the knowledge transfer in higher education with the mediating role of transformational leadership. The research method was descriptive correlational. The statistical population of this study included all administrators (200 people) of Kharazmi University were selected by convenience sampling method. For data collection were used the three Questionnaire of succession planning (Kim, 2006), Bass & Avolio (2004) transformational leadership, and knowledge transfer (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995). Data analysis was done by using structural equation modeling in AMOS And Spss-22 software. The results of structural equation modeling showed that the conceptual model of research with experimental data fits well and transformational leadership plays the role of a complete mediator in the relationship between succession planning and knowledge transfer. Accordingly, the variable relationship between succession planning and knowledge transfer through transformational leadership was confirmed in the form of path analysis. Thus, the variable of transformational leadership showed a facilitating role in the relationship between and succession planning and knowledge transfer. Also, the leading variable of succession planning had a direct and positive effect on the knowledge transfer. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that university administrators can provide a good platform By establishing a succession planning system in universities and higher education institutions, for institutionalizing knowledge transfer inside and outside the university. In the current competitive environment, university administrators will achieve the lofty goals and missions of the university by cultivating knowledgeable managers, and thus ensure the growth, development and competitive advantage of the university Manuscript profile

        This research focuses on the need to develop meaningful training programs as a part of the reform of the secondary education system. Given that preparing the future managers is a responsibility we all share today, this study aims at designing a model for training future managers. This study adopted a qualitative exploratory approach. Accordingly, subsequent to reviewing the related literature, the semi-structured interviews with 15 selected senior managers in the Ministry of Education as well as experts and elites of the field were done. Participants were selected based on the snowball method. The interviews continued until the saturation level was achieved. Then, interviews were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. After analyzing the data and extracting the codes, they were classified into three major categories: 47 basic concepts, 18 organizers, and 5 inclusive themes, as the components of the model. The five inclusive themes were named as self-management, social factors, management of others, planning and the education system policy, and educational skills. Then, the model was designed based on the relationships among the themes. Finally, the research findings suggested that teaching management skills to adolescents, based on the recommended model of secondary school education system transformation, would lead to changes in the educational policy and development of such management skills as communication skills, critical thinking, leadership, and teamwork. At the end, recommendations are made based on the sub-themes obtained in each area and the key points raised by the experts of the field. Manuscript profile

The developments that took place with the formation of the Zaidi government in Tabarestan and Deylam. But this rule did not last for some reason and the Zaydi religion also disappeared with more distance and time and gave way to the Imams. The question is, what were the causes and factors of this change? The subject of this work is the study of the causes of this change of religion by referring to the original Zaydi texts and describing and analyzing them to explain the causes. It seems that besides various reasons, the most important reason for this is the heterogeneity of the intellectual and belief system, including: Imamate (Mahdism, the quality of choosing an Imam, the permission of the Imamate of several Imams at the same time) and other beliefs that arise from this, such as Bringing to Etzal and Hanafi jurisprudence, as well as important issues such as disbelief and practice of taqiyyah, moral corruption and their behavior, and leaving the Islamic world, provided the ground for the extinction of Zaydiyya in Tabarestan.

        The purpose of this study is to civil liability arising from the void of Iranian law and comparing it with German law. The transformation of the contract is one of the solutions to prevent the contract. In the transformation of the contract, the principle of freedom of will and the cases that prevent this principle from applying this principle are discussed, how to determine the title of the contract according to the principle of custom, the will of the will, and its interpretations. The will of individuals has a sovereignty in regulating and concluding a contract, so it plays a key role in the interpretation of the contract between the parties to the contract. The principle of freedom of the will of the parties in the conclusion of the contract is limited in some cases. These are the barriers to the principle of will. When conflicting the true will of the parties to these obstacles, their agreement is condemned to invalidate. As a result, their contract is considered false. The nullity of the contract has disrupted the economic order of society and is contrary to the principle of contractual strength. In foreign law, if the false contract has another correct contract, it is transformed into the correct contract, which is called the transformation of the contract. But there is doubt about the existence of this institution in domestic law. The reason for this doubt is that neither in jurisprudence nor in subject law there is no independent issue regarding the transformation of the contract, although it is found. These instances in jurisprudence have been interpreted in issues such as virtual will and corruption of the marriage and the guarantee of the contract. In this study, the civil liability issues arising from the void of the contract in Iranian law be compared and examined in the plant. Manuscript profile

        As an emerging technological field, artificial intelligence has received increasing attention from companies and governments. The development of artificial intelligence both at business and country levels depends on knowing the current situation. This paper identifies the artifacts and producers presented in this field and maps them to transformational levels. Products/services and producers are achieved through capabilities provided by artificial intelligence. Then, based on the classification methodology and meta-characteristics, the transformational levels of the artifacts of Iran's artificial intelligence ecosystem have been extracted. 562 products/services were identified, which were offered by 112 companies. Machine vision and natural language processing have been at the top of the technologies used, with 44 and 27 percent of the products allocated to them, respectively. Artifacts and producers were classified into seven transformative levels: individual, organization, industry, electronic chip/hardware, society, platform, code/algorithm/library, and infrastructure. Iran's artificial intelligence productions have not grown in a balanced way. The three levels of platform, code/algorithm/library, and infrastructure as the main generator of other artificial intelligence products/services have had the lowest amount of production. It is suggested that a specialized marketplace for the supply of artificial intelligence application programming interfaces should be put on the agenda to stimulate the formation of the ecosystem.

        In the digital era, the Internet of Everything (IoE) technology has rapidly become a cornerstone of technological and economic development. Malaysia, as one of the leading and developing countries in Southeast Asia, has examined its preparedness, opportunities, and challenges for adopting and developing this technology through the formulation of its IoT roadmap. Undoubtedly, the IoT roadmap in Malaysia is one of the most comprehensive documents in the study of macro-level Internet of Everything plans. This roadmap provides an analysis of Malaysia's current and future position in the IoT domain, including infrastructure, data and information, security, ecosystem, and talent, followed by a gap analysis. Studies show that the adoption of the next generation of information and communication technology in Malaysia has paved the way for the development of the IoE, outlined opportunities for economic innovation, and facilitated the commercialization of research outcomes by research organizations. The roadmap also emphasizes the importance of balancing development and security in this field, stating that with progress in this domain, Malaysia can emerge as a top hub and regional focal point for IoE development. The younger generation in Malaysia is highly interested in IoE, and they are not only consumers but also creative developers of this technology. This paper highlights Malaysia's recognition as a global pioneer in the IoE technology sector. The country has become a frontrunner in this field through advancements in infrastructure, increased domestic sales and exports, the development of services and platforms, emphasis on innovation, the importance of human resources, and, most importantly, the formulation of a comprehensive and complete IoT roadmap. Malaysia has benefited in two major ways: by deriving new value from technological innovation and gaining a competitive advantage and market share over governments unable to adapt and invest in the IoE market Manuscript profile

        This paper delves into the theme of transformative inclination within the works and philosophies of Mirza Fath-Ali Akhundzadeh, with a specific focus on his theatrical productions. Modernization, in this context, denotes transcending the traditional status quo and embracing renewal. Employing a descriptive and analytical approach rooted in reflection, and utilizing library methodologies alongside qualitative content analysis, the socio-political, economic, and cultural contexts of the emergence and evolution of this trend are explored. Additionally, its manifestations within Akhundzadeh's theatrical and non-theatrical oeuvre are examined and dissected. The "reflection approach," alongside methodologies such as "shaping" and "works as social institutions," constitutes one of the three primary approaches within the literary sociology tradition. In this framework, literary works serve as mirrors reflecting social realities. Depending on whether emphasis is placed on the form or content of the literary work, it draws upon various established theories, such as Lucien Goldmann's theory. In this study, a combination of library research and qualitative content analysis was employed to investigate the social, political, economic, and cultural contexts underpinning the emergence of the discourse on modernization. The findings reveal that the rapid social, political, economic, and cultural transformations of the period under consideration have exerted both positive and negative influences on the formation and content of Akhundzadeh's works. Consequently, the juxtaposition of traditional social paradigms with those stemming from the ethos of renewal emerges as a central theme within his body of work Manuscript profile

        Despite the emphasis of researchers and experts on the need to implement digital signatures and the progress of technology towards the digitization of all affairs and electronic governance, Iran is still facing the challenge of implementing digital signatures. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyze the key drivers of digital signature implementation in Iran with a fuzzy Delphi approach. In terms of practical purpose and in terms of information gathering, the research has benefited from a hybrid approach. The statistical community consists of all experts and specialists in the field of information technology and digital signature and articles in this field. The sample size of the statistical community of experts is 13 people who were selected by the purposeful sampling method. 31 articles were selected based on their availability and downloadable, non-technical nature, and relevance to the topic. The method of data analysis was done according to the fuzzy Delphi approach. Validity and reliability were calculated and confirmed using the CVR index and Cohen's kappa test with coefficients of 0.83 and 0.93, respectively. The results prove that the key drivers of digital signature implementation in Iran include 5 main dimensions and 30 concepts, which are 1) security (information confidentiality, information security, sender authentication, document authentication, privacy protection, trust between parties), 2) business (digital business models, communication needs, staff management, organization size, organizational structure, organization resources, organizational culture, top managers, competition ecosystem, e-governance), 3) user (perceived convenience, perceived benefit, consumer behavior, consumer literacy, consumer lifestyle), 4) technical (development of technical infrastructure, systems integration, system complexity, system tanks, design quality, technical speed of certificate production and verification, impermeability of hackers) and 5) Legal (legal licenses, penal laws, legislative body, e-commerce laws). It is suggested that in the field of digital signature implementation, special attention should be paid to rewriting rules, training users, creating a security culture, and digital signature policymakers should invite knowledge-based companies to cooperate in developing infrastructure and making relevant software competitive.

        <p>This study examines consumer culture within commercial complexes in Iran's metropolises. Over the past two decades, Iran's major cities have witnessed significant developments in the construction of commercial complexes, which have also become symbols of social and cultural significance. The aim of this research is to analyze the factors influencing the formation of consumer culture in these complexes and their social, cultural, and economic impacts. The primary issue addressed in this paper is how economic transformations, globalization, social changes, and modern technologies affect consumer culture in commercial complexes of metropolises. Specifically, the research question focuses on how these factors have altered consumption patterns and purchasing behaviors, and what effects they have on social interactions and cultural identity. The research methodology involves analyzing existing literature, conducting interviews with experts, and evaluating field data from various commercial complexes. This approach examines economic and social changes and their impact on consumer patterns, while also analyzing the effects of technology and globalization on consumer preferences. The findings indicate that commercial complexes function not only as shopping centers but also as important social and cultural spaces. Economic changes and increased household incomes have led to higher demand for luxury goods, while globalization and modern technologies have influenced consumer preferences. These complexes provide opportunities for social and cultural interactions and contribute to the economic development of metropolises.</p> Manuscript profile

        <p>In earth sciences, measurements usually produce compositional data with a property called closedness. Researchers who use common statistical methods on compositional data ignore spurious correlations, which causes incorrect results. This article introduces transformations for opening closed system of compositional data. These transformations include the additive logarithmic ratio (alr), the centred logarithmic ratio (clr), and the isometric logarithmic ratio (ilr). They are all defined in terms of logarithms of ratios. We then applied the clr transformation to a soil chemical data set. We also analysed the results of applying cluster analysis on the clr transformed data using Spearman's correlation coefficient matrix as distance. We also investigated how applying clr transformation affects spurious correlation, skewness and outliers in the data using R statistical software.</p> Manuscript profile
