New technologies and their uses have always had complex economic, social, cultural, and legal implications, with accompanying concerns about negative consequences. So it will probably be with the IoT and their use of data and attendant location privacy concerns. It must be recognized that management and control of information privacy may not be sufficient according to traditional user and public preferences. Society may need to balance the benefits of increased capabilities and efficiencies of the IoT against a possibly inevitably increased visibility into everyday business processes and personal activities. Much as people have come to accept increased sharing of personal information on the Web in exchange for better shopping experiences and other advantages, they may be willing to accept increased prevalence and reduced privacy of information. Because information is a large component of IoT information, and concerns about its privacy are critical to widespread adoption and confidence, privacy issues must be effectively addressed. The purpose of this paper is which looks at five phases of information flow, involving sensing, identification, storage, processing, and sharing of this information in technical, social, and legal contexts, in the IoT and three areas of privacy controls that may be considered to manage those flows, will be helpful to practitioners and researchers when evaluating the issues involved as the technology advances.

Anecdotes and strong empirical evidence of the importance of entrepreneurship as a field of study are available. Entrepreneurs, by creating new technologies and new services, upgrade their quality of life, increase productivity, provide more entertainment, health improvement and promotion of communication. The knowledge which is known as the science of entrepreneurship is finding it difficult and sometimes its usefulness makes it suspicious. In fact, despite the passage of more than three decades, the discipline of entrepreneurship still remains over its legitimacy and acceptance. Among such challenges can be: the challenge of defining the phenomenon of entrepreneurship, the subject and scope of the research, scientific nature of entrepreneurship: the trends of single or interdisciplinary and, debate about the methodology, as the major challenges in recent decades. Now several decades after the birth of entrepreneurship, the need to confront with and meet the challenges of entrepreneurship is necessary to redefine it and meet its challenges more realistically. In this paper, an overview of the challenges to the emerging field of science and major efforts to meet its future are presented. Manuscript profile

The main purpose of the present study is providing a critique and a critical strategic evaluation of a set of social policies adopted by the Iranian decision-making system and executive power in the past few decades. For reaching this purpose, these policies including decisions and actions regarding issues, problems, harms and crimes were identified in five categories. Then the basics of confrontation policy and policy selection, implementation, and evaluation have been reviewed. The method is meta-synthesis which uses the existing analyses, assessments and critiques of Iranian scholars and researchers, as well as the author's lived experience. After a brief review of the current status of social issues, which indicates failures and lack of success, and also a brief overview of the policies adopted, the findings show that the identification of issues has been untimely and delayed. As for the general principles, there has been a kind of uncertainty, a biological and individualistic approach, and an indifference to the basic solutions. In the field of policy review and selection, there is a lack of learning and inattention to policy experiences, centralism, sentimentality, lack of audience recognition, lack of transparency, and disregard for marginalized groups and indigenous-local conditions. As to the implementation, we see the lack or inadequate distribution of financial resources, disregard for policies, lack of infrastructure, mismatch and the problem of human resources. In the field of execution, we face the weakness of the executive power, the ceremonial/ritual confrontation, and the lack of matrix thinking and haste. As to the monitoring phase, the lack of a monitoring system and the weak participation of civil society organizations in the evaluation process are among the most important weaknesses. Finally, we have proposed strategies such as transparency and structural change. Manuscript profile

Systemization in common language and sometimes in scientific discourse have spiritual common meaning for four proof of “system logy” (in genesis field), “finding system” (in legislation field), “making system” (in credits field) and “stablishing system” (in objective field). Although, in particular, “making system” is observing credits and social contracts which, is establish in any sub-system. Hence, the author believed that “making system” with its general meaning is contain all four fields and Holy Qur’an, as a religious epistemology source, is in all four field. According to this, each field is acquired to that field. Furthermore, if the process of “making system” became ignored or did not based on Qur’an principles then the process of solving problems and system’s challenges won’t base on monotheistic realism and idealism. Therefore, different social sub-systems would become panacea for delusive or non-priority issues, imposition and oriented toward non-Islamic ideals. This deviation from religious trusted sources, on one hand, would failed Islamic system in establishing its material and spiritual purposes, which, this would have doubted elites and people of the system through revolutionary identity of Islamic system. And on other hand, this would lead to establishment of social sub-system, autocracy (though small), arrogance (though in a small part) and establishment of secular governance (though smoothly but theorized). The process of “making system” is making credit in form of moving from origin to matters (having brief knowledge through recognizing the basis and giving priority to matters), and moving from matters toward sources (for re-reading) and reforming (re-defining), origins (having lasting knowledge through origins) and finally moving from origins to matters for defining, explaining, sensing and solving problems. Although, must bear in mind that in this movement, which, is detailed and brevity, having inner flexibility for reformation, moving gradually toward evolution is continuation for making system.

The social problem as social harm A century ago, the functional approach of structure-society was revived as an organism. One view led to the theory of community pathology; A theoretical model in which a social problem, such as a disease that impairs the functioning of the human body, disrupts the normal functioning of society. This model considers crime, apostasy, and premarital intercourse to be the damage of the Greek word meaning social disease, which endangers the health of society; And in reviewing past research, it has been found that poorer and dirtier areas and neighborhoods with narrow alleys are more prone to crime and social perversion. According to the theory of broken windows, houses that look bad and broken are a better place to do social harm. Even in houses that are not suitable in terms of lighting and facilities, they have a better shape to create a deviation than houses with a better shape. People in alleys and dark neighborhoods with no facilities and with fewer facilities and areas with less care are more prone to abnormalities and deviations and the formation of a social problem and social harm. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social problems in Iran and its solutions. Manuscript profile

Each literary work expresses a part of the hidden and visible social realities resulting from political, social and cultural changes. Thus, literature is a form of expressing society and presenting the facts of life in order to expand the horizons of society's consciousness. Poetry is a mental event that is influenced by issues around the poet and the poet's language is the language of society. Persian-speaking poets in each period, accordingly, have reflected corners of their community space. Among the historical-literary periods of Iran in the sixth century, due to the rule of the Turks and the ups and downs resulting from this rule, has provided a suitable platform for social research. Sanai's works are like a mirror in which the weaknesses of the social life system of the people of that period can be clearly seen. These works are really the manifestations of the society of that time because the information it provides is completely real. One of the most important findings of this research is that Sanai was deeply acquainted with the culture and political and social currents of his time due to his attitude and social and popular personality due to his travels and life in different cities, so his works in a way Uniquely socially and culturally rich. Therefore, various social issues are reflected in his works. The author, in this article, collected data using documents, books and various articles, and then analyzed it. It seeks to enumerate the most important social and cultural issues and anomalies that Sanai expresses in his works. Manuscript profile

In the relationship between the two sciences in the realm of principles, both sciences are interdependent. The subject of Imami theology is monotheism, prophethood and Imamate, which is the basis for the subject of Shiite mysticism, which is monotheism and guardianship. The method of research in theoretical mysticism is intuition, analysis and argument. The end of mysticism and theology is the attainment of God, which also leads to a deepening of the view of the end of theology. Epistemological topics and the necessity of knowing Hazrat Haqq are the principles of both sciences. Mystical intuitive knowledge is the basis of the occult knowledge of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the divine prophets, and the cultivation of the mystical soul is the basis of the infallibility of the prophets and imams. The two sciences of Imami theology and Shiite mysticism, in the field of principles and foundations, should be compared comparatively to explain the points of community and differentiation, this matter has been less considered so far. Seeks to study the relationship between Imami theology and Shiite mysticism in the realm of principles and foundations, and finally came to the conclusion that in the realm of principles and foundations, both are based on verses and hadiths, both rely on the monotheistic spirit, the thematic approach of the two It is common to many things, and ... although there are differences in this area, which include an intuitive and empirical approach to mysticism as opposed to theology, the mission of these two sciences is different in guidance.

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between parenting styles with parents’ sexual knowledge and attitude and the level of interest in talking about sexual issues with children in Shiraz. Therefore, 160 parents with children were selected by convenience sampling as a statistical sample. The data were collected by Parenting Styles Questionnaire (Baumrind, 1991), Parents’ Interest in Talking about Sexual Issues (Koblinsky & Atkinson, 1982), and Sexual Knowledge and Attitude Scale (Besharat, 2005). The reliability of the instruments was estimated using Cronbach’s alpha. The relationship between each dimension of parenting styles and parents’ sexual knowledge and attitude and interest in talking about sexual issues was examined using correlation and regression analysis. The results revealed a significant negative relationship between authoritarian parenting style and interest in talking about sexual issues. There was a significant positive relationship between authoritative parenting style and sexual knowledge and attitude. Furthermore, no significant relationship was found between permissive parenting style and sexual knowledge and attitude, and interest in talking about sexual issues in the family. However, even with the introduction of sexual knowledge and attitudes as predictors, the authoritarian parenting style still negatively predicted the level of parents’ interest in discussing sexual issues. According to the results, the best parenting style for communicating with children and talking about sexual issues is the authoritative parenting style. Parents should increase their knowledge and awareness about sexual issues and learn the principles of authoritative parenting to prevent high-risk and harmful behaviors in children.

Nowadays, environmental, social and governance issues in geographic environments is at the forefront of hospitality companies' agenda due to the increasing pressure of stakeholders regarding the adverse social and environmental effects of tourism companies' actions. The purpose of the preliminary study is to examine the benefits of sustainability certificates for businesses, their impact on the financial performance of hospitality companies, and it is not clear at the level of the competitive set (compost). To fill the above gap in the literature, this study used the data of Parsian Hotel - Chaharmahal province and Bakhtiari as a green hotel. To compare the impact of sustainability certificates on key performance indicators in the hotel to its comp (eg, occupancy, average daily rate, revenue per available room). Methodology In this study, we used various random effect models to test our hypotheses to determine whether receiving certification improves hotel performance, whether hotels should respond to a hotel receiving certification, and whether the order of response and timing of response Does it matter or not? Our sample consists of an unbalanced panel dataset of 51,625 monthly observations from the standard-certified Parsian International Hotel located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. We chose Parsian International Hotel based on the previous confirmation and greenness by several studies that this province is a tourist destination as the eco pole of the nature tourism museum and the said hotel includes all levels. Our findings suggest that certified hotels can enhance themselves compared to competitors through first-mover advantage. In conclusion, this study provides significant contributions to the literature on environmental management and competitive dynamics in the hospitality industry. We provide managers with guidelines on when to respond to other hotels in their competitive portfolio when receiving sustainability certification. Manuscript profile
