As computer networks become the backbones of science and economy, enormous quantities documents become available. So, for extracting useful information from textual data, text mining techniques have been used. Text Mining has become an important research area that discoveries unknown information, facts or new hypotheses by automatically extracting information from different written documents. Text mining aims at disclosing the concealed information by means of methods which on the one hand are able to cope with the large number of words and structures in natural language and on the other hand allow handling vagueness, uncertainty and fuzziness. Text mining, referred to as text data mining, roughly equivalent to text analytics, refers to the process of deriving high-quality information from text that high-quality information is typically derived through the patterns and processes. Moreover, text mining, also known as text data mining or knowledge discovery from textual databases, refers to the process of extracting patterns or knowledge from text documents. In this research, a survey of text mining techniques and applications in e-learning has been presented. During these studies, relevant researches in the field of e-learning were classified. After classification of researches, related problems and solutions were extracted. In this paper, first, definition of text mining is presented. Then, the process of text mining and its applications in e-learning domain are described. Furthermore, text mining techniques are introduced, and each of these methods in the field of e-learning is considered.

In this paper, we have presented the mobile code paradigm, which is a collection of remote evaluation, code on demand, and mobile agents, as an alternative to the conventional client/server paradigm. Security is a major problem of mobile agent systems, especially when money transactions are concerned. Security for the partners involved is handled by encryption methods based on a public key authentication mechanism and by secret key encryption of the communication. In this paper, we examine qualitatively the security considerations and challenges in application development with the mobile code paradigm. We identify a simple but crucial security requirement for the general acceptance of the mobile code paradigm, and evaluate the current status of mobile code development in meeting this requirement. We find that the mobile agent approach is the most interesting and challenging branch of mobile code in the security context. Therefore, we built a simple agent based information retrieval application, the Traveling Information Agent system, and discuss the security issues of the system in particulars. This article discussed a mobile agent model for processing transactions, which manipulate object servers. An agent first moves to an object server and then manipulates objects. General possibilities for achieving fault tolerance in such cases were discussed and the respective advantages and disadvantages for mobile agent environments and the intended parallel and distributed application scenarios were shown. This leads to an approach based on warm standby and receiver side message logging. We have used dynamically changing agent domains to provide flexible, adaptive and robust operation. The performance measurement of Fault-Tolerant Mobile Agent System shows the overhead introduced by the replication mechanisms with respect to a non-replicated agent. Not surprisingly, it also shows that this overhead increases with the number of stages and the size of the agent. Manuscript profile

Information and its protection is one of the most important pillars of survival of today's organizations. Defines and considers many ISMS implementation failures to be rooted in organizational issues and disregard for the organization's readiness prior to implementation. Therefore, assessing the situation and prioritizing information security risks and creating an overview and hierarchy of it, is important in the successful establishment of the information security system. However, in terms of dimensions, effects and various causes of security risks and considering the multiplicity of indicators and effective parameters of ISMS implementation, it is necessary to use multi-criteria decision-making models in their evaluation and ranking. . In this study, an attempt has been made to classify the factors affecting the information security management system into two groups of soft and hard factors and in order to accurately rank and focus more, especially in conditions of uncertainty that is inherent in human decision making, Fuzzy hierarchical analysis (FAHP) was performed. Based on this and with the help of a questionnaire to quantify the results, the opinions of technical experts including academic experts, managers and employees of the information technology department of social security branches in Guilan province have been used as a case study of this research. The results show that soft factors including managerial and cultural / social factors are more important than hard factors including financial and technical / technological factors in information security management system and management factors are more important than other soft factors as well as technical / technological factors. They are more important than other difficult factors. Manuscript profile

Natural gas and crude distillates such as naphtha from petroleum refining are used as feedstocks to manufacture a wide range of petrochemicals that are in turn used in the manufacture of consumer goods. Petrochemical plants are typically large and complex, and the combination and sequence of products manufactured are often unique to the plant. Petrochemical plants generate significant amounts of solid wastes and sludges, some of which are hazardous because of the presence of toxic organics and heavy metals. A good practice target for a petrochemical complex is to reduce total organic emissions (including VOCs) from the process units to 0.6% of the throughput. In this paper a variety of control of air emissions techniques is has been studied. Petrochemical waste waters often require a combination of treatment methods to remove oil and other contaminants before discharge. For solid and hazardous wastes, combustion (preceded in some cases by solvent extraction) of toxic organics is considered an effective treatment technology for petrochemical organic wastes. Steam stripping and oxidation are also used for treating organic waste streams. The generation of sludges should be minimized. Wastes containing toxic metals should be stabilized before disposal.

Nowadays, environmental hazards that originated from inappropriate management of waste are one of the main problems of the country. Therefore, the development of waste management system and new and advanced technologies entry is necessary. Waste disposal by incinerator is an effective method. Unlike landfill, the use of incineration does not require long-term care and there is the possibility of energy extraction. One of the main disadvantages of this method is emission of air pollutants from the stuck of incinerators and management of the residual wastes such as ash. Therefore, selecting the best place for construction of the municipal waste incineration power plant will increase its benefits, reduce costs and eliminate community dissatisfaction by identifying and considering the involved and effective factors such as environmental, economic and social factors. In this paper, literature reviewes, searching for valid universal guidelines and the related articles in databases were used to introduce and compare the criteria mentioned for locating the municipal waste incineration power plant as one of the most important steps in designing a comprehensive waste management system.

Human earthquake, over time, faced with irreparable damages. Decision-makers have always tried to manage the crisis and challenges arising from it. Therefore, assessment of vulnerability of urban areas and planning to reduce these damage is necessary. This research was conducted with the aim of assessing the urban area against earthquake and with the crisis management approach in Tehran 6th area. For this purpose Valued, 11 criteria for degree of confinement, construction density, building quality, population density, materials and structure of the building unit, access to health centers, width of the road, building height, land use, maximum horizontal acceleration of the land and the age of the building by Delphi method. Subsequently, the indexes were analyzed using the IHWP Hierarchical Model and the criteria were overlapped in GIS software. The results of the earthquake vulnerability map showed 4.8% of the area in the vulnerability class was very low, 19% in the vulnerability class, 46.2% in the middle class vulnerability, 25.4% in the vulnerability class, and 4.6% in the vulnerability class. The vulnerability class is very large. Regarding the Vulnerability Map of Area 6, we can find that areas with a higher-wiring network and low-density distribution of low-density constructions tend to be less damaged, most of which are located on the periphery of the region or north of the 6th area. Existing districts in the north of the region are less vulnerable than the rest of the study area. As you move from north to south, the vulnerability increases. Manuscript profile

The role of temperature and the importance of its transformation has led to a serious attention to this climate over the last few decades. The rising temperature in some regions of Iran and its possible implications have led to serious concerns for researchers and planners. The aim of this study is to determine the spatial transformation of Iran's temperature over the past four decades. In order to evaluate this trend, the ERA Interim European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) database was used during the 1979-2015 period with a spatial resolution of 12566 × 125/0 ° arc per month with 9966 cells. Non-parametric Mann-Kendall and Sen's Slope methods were used to reveal the temperature trend. The results showed that four months of February, March, May and October experienced a one-way (incremental) temperature trend. The highest average of the country's seasonal increase was due to the winter season and its minimum was fall season. In all months of the year, the regions of the country that were between 30 to 35 degrees north have experienced the most significant incremental trend. The cold and temperate regions of the country have been experiencing higher temperatures than other areas. Also, the negative trend of south-east and south (Bushehr coastal areas) of Iran is due to four reasons: 1. Mineralization of the climate of the area; 2. Increased airborne weather conditions; 3. Precipitation vapor; and 4. Clouds and range of temperature changes. The maximum average temperature gradient of the country was at 11.1 ° C in February, and its minimum level was as high as 0.002 ° C in November. In general, Iran's winters are getting warmer, and this will be considered a serious threat to the country's flood victims. Manuscript profile

Environmental hazards are one of the main obstacles to the achievement of sustainable development, especially in human settlements (especially villages). Over the past decades, with the crisis management approach, the use of all management achievements, organization and pre-crisis planning to deal with hazards Natural and human is rational and necessary. In dealing with emerging crises, one of the main pillars of proper coping and prevention of the negative effects of these hazards is the inclusion of crisis management centers, which include all prevention, preparedness and response measures, including relief, temporary accommodation of the incident, in which It is possible to minimize the consequences of a possible crisis. Hence, the city of Ardabil, due to being located in an area of seismicity and its location in the border area of the country, has a high potential for the development of non-human hazards. Therefore, in this study, using a descriptive-analytical approach, using the Hierarchical Analytic Model (AHP) (13 criteria), the area of Ardabil city was zoned in order to locate Rural Crisis Management Centers and using the TOPSIS (8 criteria) model Prioritization of Rural Crisis Management Centers was conducted within the study area. The results of the research show that 13.3% of the land in Ardebil has the highest ability to establish crisis management centers. With respect to the specified areas, 7 locations for the establishment of crisis management centers were identified and the TOPSIS model was used to prioritize these centers and the results showed that the base number 2 has the highest capability and the base number 1 Featuring the lowest capacity for deployment of crisis management center Manuscript profile

Nowadays. Citizens' participation as a key element in achieving the expected goals has a great importance in the management of urban affairs. Because involving people can play an important role in creating urban equilibrium. So, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the tendency of Neyriz citizens to participate in participatory management and explain the correlation between the degree of citizens' access to the components of social capital and their contribution to urban management. single-sample T-test, Independent T-test, variance analysis, Tukey, Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman and multiple regression are used to analyze the data. The results of the research and the results of single-sample t-test ( =92/23) indicate the average of citizenship participation rate and This is a significant correlation between participation rate and variables of marital status, job type with significant level of 0/000 and 0/031 But it is not correlated with two variables, gender and literacy rate. On the other hand, there is a significant correlation between citizens' access to social capital with their participation rate with a significant level of 0/000 and the Pearson coefficient of 0.446 ̽ ̽.this means that, the greater social capital among individuals, the proportion of citizen participation in urban management increases. In this regard, the results of multiple regression show that among dimensions of social capital, social cohesion with a beta value (B = 0.292) has had the greatest impact on citizen participation in urban management. So that the linear combination of variance of social capital dimensions can explain 21% of the variance in the level of citizen participation. Manuscript profile

In this study, used to data from six major pollutants measurable standards Tehran air containing sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone gas (O3 In a period of usually 11 years from 2002 to 2012 for a total of 4018 to analyze and assess the historical distribution of pollutants in the atmosphere in Tehran. In this study different methods included descriptive statistics, linear trend component analysis of time series in particular, descriptive statistics, polynomials, and exponential regressions and Mann-Kendall nonparametric method for detection of the significance of trends have been used. Historical trend analysis data showed that the SO2 air pollution in Tehran with a share of 3, CO, with linear, NO2 and O3, with a view to contribute degree 2 is a better fit. The particulate matter 2.5 and 10 micron did not show clear and significant trend during the study period. Results of mann -Kendall showed that the variation of pollutants CO, NO2, O3 with 95 % confidence intervals was significant, but the variability of the pollutants CO and particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5 aren’t significant. Therefore according to the historical data of some air pollutants in Tehran and is expected to continue its current NO2 air pollution in Tehran has increased significantly and will continue to air pollution in Tehran with regard to the above mentioned pollutants continue. But if emissions of CO and particulate air pollutants PM2.5 and PM10 with the current trend continues, a significant decrease of pollutants is not expected, but the current trend is expected to continue the process and pollutant emissions of CO.

A city is a container composed of several elements. Since urban operations involve a large number of related elements at different decision levels, integrated urban management to coordinate efforts at different levels is an irrefutable necessity. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the integrated urban management of Tehran with a forward-looking approach. For this purpose, the documentary-library method has been used to collect information. In this research, 24 indicators have been used in 4 components (knowledge and information, education, citizen and citizen participation, management), which is used to check the association between these indicators using the MICCHA software and finally with this software. Proponents have been extracted. Wizard scenario software has been used for analyzing propagators and scenarios. The results of the research show that the integrated management situation in the city of Tehran has not been in a proper position. The extracted scenarios on Tehran's single urban management include golden scenarios, disasters and intersections, which, according to experts, are likely to materialize the catastrophe scenario in the future of Tehran. This scenario is the worst scenario. To overcome the disaster scenario and the city's tendency to improve the integrated management and to some extent align with the golden scenario of the proposals.

The Asmari Formation (Oligocene-Miocene) is one of the most importance reservoir rocks in the Zagros Basin. This formation in the Mansouri Oilfield is composed of the mixture of silisiclastic - carbonate deposits which silisiclastic deposits are known as the Ahwaz Sandstone Member. Rock typing is a process in which geological facies determined with their dynamic behavior. Each flow unit is related to flow zone indicator, thus zoning of a reservoir using of flow zone indicators and identification of Flow units can be used to evaluate the reservoir quality based on relationship between porosity and permeability. To evaluate the reservoir quality and determining spatial distribution of petro-physical indexes in the Asmari Formation Sandstone, porosity-permeability relationship as well as their relationship with the rock types is used and finally Flow Units and Rock Types have been identified. In this study, the Asmari Formation Sandstone is divided into four flow units A, B, C and D. Within recognized flow units, flow unit C is the best one in the terms of reservoir quality and flow unit D also has a good reservoir quality. Comparison of determined flow units with porosity logs (neutron, density and sonic), it is observed that sandstone successions of Asmari reservoir affected by diagenetic processes like fracturing, dissolution, dolomitic cementation and hydrocarbon migration before cementation and flow units C and D are more extended, so porosity logs show good reservoir quality in this interval of Asmari succession. Thus it can be deduced that using hydraulic flow units, we can determine rock types groups in wells with core and then extrapolate the results into uncored wells. Manuscript profile

There are controversial views about the implications of the use of busy managers on the board. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between busy managers and earnings management with an emphasis on the role of corporate governance. The data required for this study included 90 companies that were accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2011-2017. Results based on regression models show that busy managers have a negative and significant effect on real earnings management. In this way, employing busy managers on the board reduces the real earnings management and, consequently, increases the quality of earnings. However, there is not a meaningful relationship between the number of busy managers and accrual earnings management. In addition, the findings suggest that corporate governance does not have a significant effect on the relationship between busy managers with earnings management. In sum, the findings provide empirical evidence on overall employment policies Manuscript profile

In the few decades that narratology has been introduced as a science, narratologists have tried to explore its universal structure by finding specific narrative patterns for different aspects of story writing, including narrative time. The French theorist, Gerard Genette, has posed an autonomous theory on "the parameter of time and its function and place in narration". According to him, timing arrangement in a narration is got through order, duration, and frequency. Studying and contrasting them against real time, one can determine the place of time in the process of story. Studying narrative time of in the play of "Moonlight Women, Sunny Man" by Chista Yaserbi shows that Yasrebi, avoiding the usual time sequence, and moving from chronological time to the text time, has made different selections and provided flashback and futurist narratives. Such selections and their especial timing plays a significant role in arranging the components of the plot, as well as suspense. Moerover, studying duration and frequency of the events narrated in this play, shows that the events enjoy an appropriate beat and speed according to the author's purpose. Regarding principles of narratology, there is a direct and significant correlation between content of the play and the speed of narrating the events, their repetition and frequency.

The historical-literary book of Taj-al-Ma’aser is the oldest document on the history of the Qourians. It was written in 602 (A.H.) by Hasan Nezami Neishabouri, who lived at the time of the Qourians of India and, as one of their officials. In addition to its historical value, the book is of great literary importance. Using poetic figures, and frequent references to Arabic and Persian poems are among its features. According to Malek-al-sho’ara-ye Bahar, none of the ancient works has so many references to poems and poetry as Taj-al-Ma’aser has. Therefore, it can help to reconstruction of the verses lost in divans’ of famous poets. The authors here in the present article have made comparisons between the verses from the well-known poets recorded in Taj-al-Ma’aser and in their edited divans. No doubt that such a comparison is so helpful for the exploration and correction of the poems. Manuscript profile

The present article surveys Iran's cultural identity in terms of Hafiz' poetry. It is to prove that Hafiz paid especial attention to the cultural oppositions of his time and their manifestations in his language. The expressions such as Pir-e-Moqan (the Magian Elder), Jam-e-Jam (the world-displaying cup) Manichaeism, joy, and contents adapted from Shahnameh are indicative of the historical and mythological roots of Hafiz' poems in pre and post-Islamic Iran. The article studies the signs and traces of Persian-Islamic culture in Hafiz' poetry, and analyzing the lines having these signs, shows Hafiz' attempts to establish links between these concepts and the Persian-Islamic identity which caused strengthening the new geographical borders of Iran.

The Prophet Mohammad's praise and ascension are among the topics of concern to most poets and writers; in a manner that in our literary tradition these two issues are counted as the major themes of classic works. Attar Neishabouri, who followed this tradition, has discussed these two topics in detail at the beginning of his four versified works; “Elahi-Nameh”, “Asrar-Nameh”, “Manteq-Al Tair” and “Mosibat-Nameh”. This research has studied the mentioned themes in the four works. The result of the research revealed that the praise and spiritual ascension found two different structures in these works. While in Elahi-Nameh and Manteq-Al Tair these two parts are intermingled, they are quite separate in Asrar-Nameh and Mosibat-Nameh. Still the praise of the Prophet have one structure in all the four works; yet the story of the Prophet's ascent is more reliable in Mosibat-Nameh. These two parts do not possess much poetical parts and one can only regard the story of the Ascent as the most poetical part in Elahi-Nameh. Ambiguity was Aattar's most favorite literary figure. Within the linguistic domain and its related features, the repetition of words and the repetition of a linguistic phrase at the beginning, are the most significant linguistic features in these two parts.

The high, lofty and the humane manner, in addition to the unique behavior of the Prophet Mohammad, have always been of notice to the poets and writers in the Persian literature. After Islam, the Persian poets praised that dear character due to a variety of occasions. Especially after rejoicing God and the creator of the universe, they have focused on the praise and the commemoration of this dear Prophet, the high rank of the Prophet; as the last Prophet and especially by emphasizing on one point; that Prophet Mohammad is the center of the whole universe. Based on Ibn-Arabi's interpretation and the mystics following him, they believe that Mohammad's truth lies at the center of the universe and is indeed the major reason for the creation of the world in the first place. The Iranian literary poets and writters have reflected the life events and the different aspects of this perfect and ideal character, as the perfect human and man's role model in all life in their works. This issue is observed in the traditional Persian poetry. This article intends to survey the contemporary Persian poets' works regarding the Prophets' character. The purpose of this study is to survey the quality of such reflections through comparing the traditional and modern poetry. this research reveals that the contemporary poets reflect the Prophet's character through four aspects; praise, incidental, narrative and illustrious within their poems. In addition, most of the prominent poets who have composed poetry in the four mentioned aspects are also analyzed and evaluated too. Manuscript profile

The two epopees, Sharafnameh (The Letter of Dignity) and Eqhbalnameh (The Letter of Luck) by Hakim Nezani Ganjavi, which are known as Eskandarnameh, are stories about the travels and wars of Alexander of Macedon. In the creation of these epopees, Nezami employs not only the historical events, but also the myths and legends, and has created a new pattern. In these two epopees, Alexander is not that famous conqueror in the history, but he is a legendary and prophet-like character whom all the earthly and unearthly forces helped through the vicissitudes of his journeys, and throughout the process of developing individuality, and the path of self- awareness. In Sharafnameh, Alexander is a sage who departed on a journey to gain wisdom. However, in Eqbalnameh he experiences an inner journey as a prophet. Psychological analysis of these two epopees indicates that this young king, encounters the elements of unconsciousness, such as: Shadow, Anima, and the Wise old man in his journeys. Eventually Alexander achieves selfhood and the sublime truth of existence. This article aims at analyzing these archetypes based on Jung’s views. Manuscript profile

Human interaction with nature is an important part of human life which due to the devastating effects of recent attitudes, needs to be seriously reviewed and to be provided with new approaches which can promote this interaction into a more sustainable and meaningful one. One of these effective approaches is Rumi's mystical view that emphasizes the special position of man in the universe and its link to humanity. Studying the principles of human interaction with nature according to Rumi’s world view, this article presents a pattern based on which, humans should consider the nature as the manifestation of God’s various names and attributes, and as the Caliph and his trustee, they should be the guardian of the universe. Additionally, human actions will impose inevitable reactions on him, among which humans must try to remove the negative ones. As a result, according to Rumi, understanding the special position of human beings in the world and recognizing the characteristics of humans and the nature, the empathic connection between man and nature will be revealed Manuscript profile

The conceptual metaphor is the mind’s technique for conceptualizing affairs. The mind tries to conceive and contemplate some intangible affairs for itself with the help of this fundamental construct. Hence, it is expected that by changing it, we will also see a change in thought-related macro-systems. Among these macrosystems are literary styles that have many factors involved in changing them. This article tries to answer the question of how the change of conceptual metaphors in time has an effect on the change of literary styles through analytical-descriptive method. To answer it, we trace the conceptual metaphors related to the body, which include the words "hand, eye, heart and head", in a selection of poems by Farrokhi Sistani, Anvari and Hafez. By analyzing the obtained information, we conclude that conceptual metaphors have undergone significant changes over time that are in line with the evolution of literary styles and are variables affecting the evolution of styles.

The story of "Sheikh Sanaan" is the story of the love of an oldholy man and his surrender to a girl of another faiththat finally leades to him questioning his own faith.This story is reflected in a considerable number of Persian novels, sometimes in the form of recreation and sometimes in the form of rewriting.The aim of the present study is to show,compare and analyze the rewrites and recreations of Sheikh Sanaan's mystical story in Persian novel, based on these for novels: "Yakoliaa va tanhaayi-e ou", "Savushoun", " Toubaa va manaay- e shab" and "Rood-e Raavi". This study shows that, like the story of Sheikh Sanaan, helplessness in love is evident in all four novels; but the characters’ reaction to the realization of their infatuation is different in each story.The exaltation of the old man's character also occurs through love in all four narratives.There are also differences in the fate of the female beloved after the occurrence of love. Except for" Yakoliaa va tanhaayi-e ou ", in the other three stories, the woman is also saved. In addition to the divine motive - to cause each of the characters to fall in love - other external and internal motives can be consideredfor the tendency of female characters to this process.In the novels "Yakoliaa va tanhaayi-e ou " and " Rood-e Raavi ", the woman is an evil element who deliberately puts herself in the path of an ascetic man, while in the other two novels, her lover has voluntarily set foot on the path of love.

This article has been based on this hypothesis that extremism as one of the ways in which power is exercised, is a reaction of individual or individuals who are obedient of power for regaining identity for responding the question" What is the role of power and extremism in the creation of human identity". In this qualititative research by interpretative methods, human personality and identity in view of philosophy, politics, psychology and sociology scholars have been studied according to Martin Heidegger’s definition of "Man-Dasein"’s view and have been recognized and denominated two different synchronous types of "Identity" for every individual entitled: "Existent Identity" (in the sense of what a person identified and defined by it) and "Conceivable Identity" (in the sense of identity depicted in the mind of Person, and other imaginable identities for each person), which have relation and influence on each other. By reviewing "Dasein", who recognizes himself on his own base, the necessity of adapting existent and conceivable identity in his life is appeared, and by focusing on the role of power and the ways in which power is exercised in the light of adapting two types of identities as a goal, a process of exercising power is realized and named as "co- imagination" (in the meaning of the process of interference, change and determination of wishes, goals and desires of others in various ways -intentionally and unintentionally-, and considering others only as tools for providing conditions for gaining own demands, goals, aspirations or of own institution, group, community and . . . ). The subjection of this Co-imagination, who wishes to reclaim this "conceivable identity", while attempting extreme reactions, tending to subjugate the others, have been followed in different scope of "Dasein" to mark the invasive surroundings to Dasein Identity in order to make calculable and predictable version of Dasein, and to find the consequences and to provide the consequences and solution seeking means of extremism which may provide guidelines for afterthoughts.

In organizations and large companies that are using business process management systems (BPMSs), process model can change due to upstream laws, market conditions. BPMSs have flexible to these changes. Effect of these change are saved in storage devises and event logs; these changes are sometimes applied suddenly or gradually on the event logs. Changing the season or starting a new financial term can be a factor to make these changes. This change is called concept drift in business process model. On time detection and recognition of process concept drift can affect the decision making of managers and administrations of systems. An analysis of the event logs in BPMS allows the automatic detection of the concept drift. This paper presents an innovative method by introducing a modified distance function to identify the concept drift. Experimental results were performed on 72 datasets in the research history, which included 648 concept drifts in 12 different types. It shows that the proposed method detects 98.18% of the drifts, while the proposed method is much faster than other state of the art methods. Manuscript profile

Today, increased competition between organizations has led them to seek a better understanding of customer behavior through innovative ways of storing and analyzing their information. Moreover, the emergence of new computing technologies has brought about major changes in the ability of organizations to collect, store and analyze macro-data. Therefore, over thousands of data can be stored for each customer. Hence, customer satisfaction is one of the most important organizational goals. Since all customers do not represent the same profitability to an organization, understanding and identifying the valuable customers has become the most important organizational challenge. Thus, understanding customers’ behavioral variables and categorizing customers based on these characteristics could provide better insight that will help business owners and industries to adopt appropriate marketing strategies such as up-selling and cross-selling. The use of these strategies is based on a fundamental variable, variety of products. Diversity in individual consumption may lead to increased demand for variety of products; therefore, variety of products can be used, along with other behavioral variables, to better understand and categorize customers’ behavior. Given the importance of the variety of products as one of the main parameters of assessing customer behavior, studying this factor in the field of business-to-business (B2B) communication represents a vital new approach. Hence, this study aims to cluster customers based on a developed RFM model, namely RFMV, by adding a variable of variety of products (V). Therefore, CRISP-DM and K-means algorithm was used for clustering. The results of the study indicated that the variable V, variety of products, is effective in calculating customers’ value. Moreover, the results indicated the better customers clustering and valuation by using the RFMV model. As a whole, the results of modeling indicate that the variety of products along with other behavioral variables provide more accurate clustering than RFM model. Manuscript profile

Natural disasters are an inevitable part of the world that we inhabit. Human casualties and financial losses are concomitants of these natural disasters. However, by an efficient crisis management program, we can minimize their physical and social damages. The real challenge in crisis management is the inability to timely receive the information from the stricken areas. Technology has come to the aid of crisis management programs to help find an answer to the problem. One of these technologies is wireless sensor network. With recent advances in this field, sensor nodes can independently respond to the queries from the users. This has transformed the processing of the queries into one of the most useful chapters in sensor networks. Without requiring any infrastructure, the sensor network can easily be deployed in the stricken area. And with the help of spatial query processing, it can easily provide managers with the latest information. The main problem, however, is the irregular shape of the area. Since these areas require many points to present them, the transmission of the coordinates by sensor nodes necessitates an increase in the number of data packet transmissions in the sensor network. The high number of packets considerably increases energy consumption. In related previous works, to solve this problem, line simplification algorithm s, such as Ramer-Douglas-Peucker (RDP), were used. These algorithms could lessen energy consumption by reducing the number of points in the shape of the area. In this article, we present a new algorithm to simplify packet shapes which can reduce more points with more accuracy. This results in decreasing the number of transmitted packets in the network, the concomitant reduction of energy consumption, and, finally, increasing network lifetime. Our proposed method was implemented in different scenarios and could on average reduce network’s energy consumption by 72.3%, while it caused only 4.5% carelessness which, when compared to previous methods, showed a far better performance.

This research is an ongoing work for achieving consistency between topology control and QoS guarantee in MANET. Desirable topology and Quality of Service (QoS) control are two important challenges in wireless communication networks such as MANETs.In a Mobile Ad hoc Network, MANET, nodes move in the network area; therefore, the network topology is randomly and unpredictably changed. If the network topology is not controlled properly, the energy consumption is increased and also network topology probably becomes disconnected. To prevent from this situation, it is necessary to use desirable dynamic topology control algorithms such as k-edge connectivity methods. This papertries to improvethe three following parameters according to the k-edge connectivity concepts: (1) network performance, (2) reduce energy consumption, and (3) maintain the network connectivity. To achieve these goals, as a new method, we enhance k-edge connectivity methods using an improved definition of node density. The new method is called as: Node Density Based k-edge connected Topology Control (NDBkTC) algorithm. For the first time the node density definition is dynamically used. The new method, computes the node density based on a new equation which consists of the following factors: the relative velocity of nodes, distance between nodes, the number of nodes and the transmission range of nodes. The results show that our new method improves the network performance compared with the existing methods. Also we will show that the new method can holds QoS in a desirable tolerance range.

With rapid development of information technology (IT) and further deepening of informationization construction, more and more enterprises have realized the strategic value of IT and made great investments in it. However, during the IT implementation process, decision-making, adaptation degree, and IT performance are often inferior to the anticipation. The assimilation of technology can be defined by the extent to which the use of Information technology spreads across organizational processes and becomes routinized in activities. Capabilities of information technology play crucial role in an ever-changing environment and are considered as one of the most important sources for enterprises while enterprises should acquire some effective capabilities so that they can effectively deploy and utilize information technology. The purpose of this investigation is to represent a model to measure absorbency of information technology in small and medium-sized enterprises. To do so, dimensions of the "absorbency of information technology" was determined through exploratory factor analysis in a survey research and confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm model validity. Findings show that three dimensions are related to absorbency of information technology including the capability for innovative technology, Inside-Out IT capability and IT management capability, among which the capability for innovative technology has the highest correlation with the concept of absorbency of information technology.

SDN makes the network programmable, agile, and flexible with data and control traffic separating. This architecture consists of three layers which are application, control and data. The aim of our research is concentrated on the control layer to improve the performance of the network in an autonomic manner. In the first step, we have categorized the performance improvement researches based on network performance improvement solutions proposed in the recent papers. This performance improvement solution clustering is one of our contributions to our paper. The significant contribution in this paper is a novel autonomic SDN-based architecture to ameliorate the performance metrics including blocking probability (BP), delay, jitter, packet loss rate (PLR), and path utilization. Our SDN-based autonomic system consists of three layers (data, autonomic control, and Route learning) to separate the traffics based on deep neural networks (DNN) and to route the flows with the greedy algorithm. The autonomic SDN-based architecture which has proposed in this paper makes better network performance metrics dynamically. Our proposed autonomic architecture will be developed in the POX controller which has developed by python. Mininet is used for simulation and the results are compared with the commonly used SDN named pure SDN in this article. The simulation results show that our structure works better in a full-mesh topology and improves the performance metrics simultaneously. The average performance is improved by about %2.5 in comparison with pure SDN architecture based on the Area Under Curve (AUC) of network performance. Manuscript profile

Nowadays, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is very important in software. SIEM stores and monitors events in software and unauthorized access to logs can prompt different security threats such as information leakage and violation of confidentiality. In this paper, a novel method is suggested for secured and integrated access control in the SIEM. First, the key points where the SIEM accesses the information within the software is specified and integrated policies for access control are developed in them. Accordingly, the threats entered into the access control module embedded in this system are carefully detected. By applying the proposed method, it is possible to provide the secured and integrated access control module for SIEM as well as the security of the access control module significantly increases in these systems. The method is implemented in the three stages of the requirements analysis for the establishment of a secure SIEM system, secure architectural design, and secure coding. The access control module is designed to create a secured SIEM and the test tool module is designed for evaluating the access control module vulnerabilities. Also, to evaluate the proposed method, the dataset is considered with ten thousand records, and the accuracy is calculated. The outcomes show the accuracy of the proposed method is significantly improved. The results of this paper can be used for designing an integrated and secured access control system in SIEM systems.

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 videos are more popular for sharing content on social media to capture the audience’s attention. The artificial manipulation of videos is growing rapidly to make the videos flashy and interesting but they can easily misuse to spread false information on social media platforms. Deep Fake is a problematic method for the manipulation of videos in which artificial components are added to the video using emerging deep learning techniques. Due to the increase in the accuracy of deep fake generation methods, artificially created videos are no longer detectable and pose a major threat to social media users. To address this growing problem, we have proposed a new method for detecting deep fake videos using 3D Inflated Xception Net with Discrete Fourier Transformation. Xception Net was originally designed for application on 2D images only. The proposed method is the first attempt to use a 3D Xception Net for categorizing video-based data. The advantage of the proposed method is, it works on the whole video rather than the subset of frames while categorizing. Our proposed model was tested on the popular dataset Celeb-DF and achieved better accuracy. Manuscript profile

The wireless sensor network (WSN) signifies to a gathering of spatially spread and committed sensors for observing and logging the physical states of the environment and for organizing the information gathered at the central Base station. Many security threats may affect the functioning of these networks. Security of the data in the system depends on the cryptographic procedure and the methods where encryption and decryption keys are developed among the sensors. Symmetric key foundation is one of the best applicable ideal models for safe exchanges in WSNs. The main goal is to improve and evaluate certain issues, such as node attack, to provide better key strength, connectivity, security for node interaction, and throughput. Uniform Balanced Incomplete Block Design (UBIBD) is used to generate the keys allocated by the base station to the cluster head. The cluster head distributes keys to its members using Symmetric Balanced Incomplete Block Design (SBIBD), and the keys are refreshed on a regular basis to avoid out-of-date entries. In wireless sensor networks, compromised nodes can be used to inject false reports. The concept of interacting between sensor nodes using keys and establishing a secure connection aids in ensuring the network's security. Manuscript profile

Rules based on one division in the science of principles are divided into situational and obligatory rules.There is one difference between the fundamentalists in the nature of the obligatory rulings, but there is a difference of opinion in the nature of the rulings. Two comments have been obtained between principles. Some fundamentalists, such as Sheikh Ansari, consider the status quo to be detached from the mandatory mandate. Others, such as Fazel Toni, consider the nature of the status quo to be independent. In this research that in terms of practice data collection is a library, we will prove that the separation of status sentences from mandatory sentences in the Iranian legal system has many benefits.

Abstract:In Islamic Sharia law, with respect to the rule of the association of profit and loss, basically the principal capital return is not guaranteed. Therefore, gaining real profit is always associated with the possibility of loss and damage. Whereas in Islamic financial mechanisms such as commissioned manufacture bonds, the payment of the nominal value included in the bonds is guaranteed by the publisher in due date. Therefore, the owners of the bonds who are the investors of transactions will not sustain a loss or receive a reward for the reduction or increase in the value of the project upon receiving the nominal value of the bonds (principal capital). However, an analysis of the procedure for publication of the bonds, makes it clear that in commissioned manufacture bonds based on interest, the receipt of nominal value of the bonds will be realized according to the entitlement of the owners in due date proportionate to the total value of the amount due. Also guaranteeing the principal capital by the publisher of the commissioned manufacture bonds is according to the liability of the seller to pay for the object of sale. Moreover, the owners of the bonds as the buyers only own the amount due in duty of the debtor and they shall have no right in project thus commissioned. In this sense, any increase or reduction in the value of the project will have no effect in the amount of their claim. Whereas the owners of commissioned manufacture bonds along with rent with an ownership option are the joint owners of the project, thus in case of increase in project value in connection with the nominal value of the bonds, they are entitled to claim the value added. This is because according to the rule of logics the owner of actual property deserves to take a share of the increase in value of actual property value as he is to sustain the damages incurred on the actual property. Similarly, the reduction in project value in proportion to the nominal value of the commissioned manufacture bonds along with the rent with an ownership option, must be attributable to the joint owners, i.e. investors.

Copying, collecting and compiling poems of poets in previous centuries was done in several ways. Sometimes the poet wrote his poem in his notebook during his life and over time, and after his death, that notebook remained the same. Sometimes the poet himself would collect his poetry collection and arrange it according to his own taste. Sometimes his friends and supporters compiled his poetry collection after his death, and sometimes in later centuries his poetry collection was compiled by a scribe according to himself taste. In each of these methods, the order of the poems (especially the sonnets) has been specific. In this research, we intend to deal with the methods of arranging poems in the books of poets and see which method is more logical, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each method.The results of this study show that the alphabetical order of the poetry collections is by no means based on stylistic studies and research related to the evolution of Iranian thought and art, and the best method is the way in which poetry books are compiled today.

Arab nationalism in the four autobiographical films of Egyptian director Youssef Shahin Based on the method of discourse analysis and in the theoretical framework of Jacques Lacan's subject psychology. The young revolutionary intellectual of Egypt in the 1950s and 1960s is attracted to the signifiers of the discourse of Nassirist nationalism due to ideological and identical cleavages resulting from centuries of domination by transnational and proxy systems; A discourse that was initially thought of as an infinite matter (reality) and the manifestation of the utopia and the place of realization of the repressed desires of the Arab man (subject), but over time, the contradictions between the slogan and practice in the mentioned discourse became known to all and as a Discourse and the imposed (symbolic dimension) were forcibly accepted by the emerging dictatorship of Arab nationalism. The young revolutionary intellectual who was once fascinated by this discourse, after seeing the defeat and humiliation of Arab nationalism in the war with Israel and the financial and moral scandal of its commanders, suffers a lot of pain and longing (jouissance). But, because of their fascination with this discourse, hides them and after a while, like his father (Nasserist discourse), he experiences a similar tyranny.

What is the truth and dignity of man as manifestation of the divine name of the cosmic world? The ontology of Islamic mysticism is based on the personal unity of existence and the multiplicity of appearances of existence. What is the effect of this look on mystical anthropology? According to this view, there is an absolute existence, which has manifested numerous manifestations and has perfected itself in detail. The truth of man is the first absolute determination or the first appearance of the transcendence, but man (complete), in addition to the first determination, is also present in other modes of being, and therefore, unlike the first determination, and contrary to other general and partial definitions, the unity of truth is manifested And give her countless compromises. Human being is the only advent of the Imam which is the right to assimilate all the names and attributes of God, and equivocal (without one over another), and so to speak, is the divination between the truth and the creation or interruption of unity and plurality. In this article, we examine the most important ontological foundations of Islamic mysticism, which leads to a particular type of anthropology, and many works and topics in verbal topics.

The nature is a term that refers to the essence and nature of the objects and phenomena of the universe and accordingly, the meaning of the nature of death, is its truth. Death in public use means the inexistence of this universe and the end of life. But writers and scholars in different domains of thought, especially in the domain of mysticism and Sufism, have, from their point of view, explained the nature and concept of death, based on their attitude of the post-death world.

His efficiency in regulating a reasonable and heavenly life will be doubled.

And one of the deep and pleasant interpretations in the book and Sunnah is "the face of God" which corresponds to the being and is the manifestation of the Almighty, and the complete and concise manifestations of the manifestations of the Almighty will be the perfect man and the saints of God. Now the question is what is a perfect perfect human being and who are the faces of God? In the tradition of the Qur'an and mysticism, who are the concept and example of the face of God? The present article will be responsible for answering the above-mentioned questions (which are collectively a question) with a narrative-rational method and analytical approach, and its output is the possibility of knowing God in the level of action or attributes of action, which in Qur'anic verses Titles such as "Allah", "Noor", "Face of God" and the like have been mentioned and the perfect man is the verse of the Almighty and the face of God.

Since its development by Darwin, the theory of evolution has always been debated for its harmony or incompatibility with the scriptures, especially in terms of its inclusion of human creation. The story of Adam's creation in religious books, including the Qur'an, made it possible for religious scholars to take different positions on this theory. This article examines the views of two contemporary Iranian thinkers, Mohammad Hussein Tabatabai and Yadollah Sahabi, on the relation between the theory of evolution and the Qur'an's account of human creation. Sahabi accepts this theory and takes it compatible with the Qur’an and Tabatabai maintains that if it were totally confirmed, it does not contradict the verses of the Qur'an. It seems that the reason for their positions was their attention to some (and not all) dimensions of this theory that do not contradict the definitive religious doctrines. Manuscript profile

The considered key variables for each customer knowledge management model are different according to its model. Generally, many models have been presented for customer knowledge management, including conceptual, process and system model. In this paper, we intend to develop process model which achieved from combination of business engineering model, six business processes based on customer relationship management systems, and four aspects of knowledge management in principle business activities, namely marketing, sales and services.

Today, organizations are in a dynamic and competitive environment and increasingly need for bolstering up their innovation capabilities by attention to valuable knowledge and power ofcreation and use of it. Knowledge management is very important in any organization, because organizational innovation does not evolve without dynamic and collaborative knowledge management. Traditional knowledge management systems have been trying to capture formal explicit knowledge management. They could not be successfull in unlocking tacit (implicit) knowledge in the minds of employees. Today, knowledge management 2.0 is based on web 2.0 with enphasis on socialization, collaboration and interaction between people. It tries to capture the largest and most valuable distributed database in any organization, implicit knowledge that is stored in the mind of employees. Each organization which is based on knowledge management 2.0 and social capital, is called an organization 2.0 (enterprise 2.0). It obliterates official controlling and hierarchical order and focuses on socialization and collaboration of mass employees for organizational innovation through social networks. This paper tries to introduce implications of web 2.0 on organizational transforming arising by creation of knowledge management 2.0 in organization 2.0. It assists managers in understanding the leverage roll of social knowledge for development of organizational innovation. Manuscript profile

In today’s competitive market, companies must work closely with their customers and suppliers if they want to survive and improve their own performance and to provide a better response to market forces. In a typical supply chain, information flow is more important than the other two involved flows including material flow and cash flow. It can be lead to enhance organizational knowledge. The main purpose of the research, is to identify, analyse and improve the performance of an assembly line using simulation techniques. Many factors, such as setup time, operating time, failure rate, repair rate, and production rate, can cause data to be non-stationary. Therefor, in order to analyse such complicated systems it is necessary to apply simulation techniques. The most important properties of an assembly line including bottlenecks, cycle time, buffers capacities, and the number of finished products in a given time period are investigated in the research. After data gathering, and building an appropriate simulation model, the simulation experiments were done with Enterprise Dynamic software. The simulation model is implemented and tested against real-world data and is demenostrated by a numerical example. Then, the bottlenecks and performance measures including throughput time and waiting time are identified and analysed in order to develop a new scenario in which opportunities for improvements are presented. The results show significant improvements in terms of reducing waiting time and increasing efficiencies. Manuscript profile

These days, high growth and rapid changes in technology on the one hand, and the utilization of new approaches emerged in the economy and management literature on the other, make knowledge resources become more important than other organizational resources. This viewpoint is based on two main sources; one of them is IT resource and the other is human resource. This kind of attitude to these sources leads to two different approaches of knowledge management: one is related to IT resource and the other is related to human resource. In the investigations about the causes of failure in the most knowledge management projects in knowledge-based organizations, human resource and IT resource approaches are studied separately. In this paper, by these approaches, not only has been the causes of failure in knowledge management projects investigated, but also the importance of these approaches has been studied, too. The study shows that the technology and its benefits cannot be ignored. At the same time, for making organizations less formal, non- technological resource (human resource) management should be at the helm of management priorities. In order to use technology advantages while avoiding its disadvantages, organizations' knowledge resource management should pay attention to the alignment between its technology and human resources. Furthermore, studies show that network infrastructures (extranet, intranet and internet) can provide a proper environment for human resource management. Manuscript profile

The aim of this study is to investigate and identify the barriers to knowledge sharing at a high education institute as one of the necessary steps in implementation of the process of knowledge management at universities and HEIs. On the one hand, higher education is the base of development and the main focus of human recourses enrichment in societies, Therefore implementation of knowledge management in this field is one of the basic requirements and a powerful tool for improving knowledge-based societyS as one of the elements of country’s development vision. On the other hand, by changing the slogan “knowledge is power” to “knowledge sharing is power”, knowledge sharing and extending it in organizations, between organizations and different systems has become the main process and orientation inside organizations concerning knowledge management. Therefore creating a comprehensive vision concerning the challenges and barriers of knowledge sharing and a proper understanding of its facilitators in HEIs and universities seems necessary as a pre-requisite in reaching the goals of knowledge management in the field of higher education in the country. In this regard, 29 key factors in knowledge sharing process inside organizations in 5 main categories of human resources, organizational culture, structure, systems and technology and leadership strategies have been determined and as a case study, relationships between main factors and priority of each of the mentioned factors in 5 categories have been presented at Imam Javad University College.

Business intelligence (BI) is the tool used by enterprises to collect, manage and analyze structural and non-structural data and also information by taking advantage of modern information technology. It utilizes a substantial amount of collected data during the daily operational processes, and transforms the data into information and knowledge to avoid the supposition and ignorance of the enterprises. In the last decade, Business intelligence has evolved as one of the critical applications in organizations to provide useful insight, support decision-making, and drive organizational performance. However, to avoid the ineffective experiences during the deployment, it is important to clarify the impact factors of a BI system and find out a Suitable assessment method to evaluate the performance of BI systems. Evaluating the effectiveness of business intelligence systems is vital to our understanding of the value and efficacy of management actions and investments. This research is a descriptive survey. We construct an Assessment model to assess the performance of business intelligence systems based on the outcomes of previous researches. Furthermore, an expert questionnaire using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to filter out useful performance indicators. The analytic hierarchy process is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions. Finally, we analyze a real case by using the constructed assessment model for Business Intelligence systems. We choose an automotive parts manufacturer as a case. The survey sample population consisted of 66 randomly taken employees and managers of the case. The results indicate that the performance of Business Intelligence system in our case was suitable.

Today, managers have come to this understanding that technology is the main source of competitive advantages and also growth in firms, hence it must be taken into consideration. Although Technology Management (TM) has become popular in the management area and many frameworks have been proposed, a practical framework and management tool is not available yet. To this point, Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) has been utilized to introduce a TM framework in technology-based firms by focusing on the creation of the dynamic capabilities’ flows. This article aims to clarify TM activities in DCT context, and moreover tries to determine relationships and interactions among TM, Knowledge Management (KM), and Innovation Management (IM) concepts. By reviewing TM frameworks proposed by different scholars an integral and appropriate framework based on Cetindamar’s et al. (2010) is suggested for technology-based firms. By considering that each of TM activities (Acquisition, Exploitation, Identification, Learning, Protection, and Selection) can create a specific dynamic capability ,six TM tools namely, Patent Analysis, Portfolio Management, roadmapping, S-curve, stage-gate, and Value analysis are described to implement TM activities. These six TM tools and the six TM activities could be a well starting point to apply TM in firms. Manuscript profile

Large and small companies are faced with a significant environmental complexity and turbulent business world. The world is changing at an unprecedented rate due to technological advances. For most businesses, the ability to monitor, identify, and master critical technological skills and technologies is important .In times of economic downturn, technology and innovation can be potent sources of growth as long as the investment and talent are there to drive them. Innovation, creativity and technology are enablers of economic advancement. In this paper, the importance of Innovation, Creativity management and Technology Scouting for organizations in a turbulent environment is explored and it is shown that the winners will be those that react to the crisis by further embracing technology and innovation to find ways to become more productive and competitive. It is shown that sometimes it is better for an organization to put another part of itself out of business rather than have the competition destroy the whole business. Innovation is a team effort and successfully managing innovation teams is an art. The first step toward innovation is the openness of an organization to new ideas and concepts. It is mentioned that managers cannot order creativity; managers can only provide an environment where creativity grows well. An important step is to establish an organizational culture that fosters creativity. As one of the biggest obstacles to fostering innovation and creativity is uptight and rigid people, the paper emphasizes on organizational openness to new ideas and concepts and discusses the ways to achieve this goal with a view to past experiments. Technology scouting is another important factor that can serve as an early warning system. The early detection of new technologies allows an organization time to prepare for or even acquire these technologies before they have a negative business impact on the firm. However, it is important that the process is performed in the right way to guarantee the best possible extent of technology surveillance occurs. In this paper, it is explained that organizations must keep a keen focus on technological areas that could affect the business environment. Overall, it is concluded that for organizations in a turbulent environment, developing an environment that fosters creativity and innovation is an important step in assuring long-term survival. To fail to do so can mean the death of an organization. Manuscript profile

Innovation is the capability of identifying opportunities and using their advantages. These opportunities are not just opening new markets but include the innovative processes and ways for existing markets. Actually, innovation is not just production of goods, and examples of innovation can be seen in the service sector and public and private sectors. Innovation intrinsically is a risky project and even developed firms cannot accept infinite risks. In fact, the question is not that if innovation should be done or not, but rather how this innovation can be successful and which feedback could be gained from its success and failure and reaching a pattern that can be applied in future activities. Always the main question has been "whether or not we can control and manage what is known as innovation". At first glance, it might seem that managing innovation is impossible and a complex process. But we believe that despite the uncertain and apparently random-nature of the innovation, it is possible to find an underlying pattern of success. Innovation is a "management" issue because there are decisions to be made about resources, disposition, composition and coordination among them. In this paper after expressing concepts of innovation and managing innovation, a conceptual model and its usage structure is presented in order to concentrate on key aspects of managing innovation. Next, creation and maintenance of an innovative organizational context will be discussed and finally a comparative analysis of managing innovation between Japanese and Korean firms will be reflected.

In today's world, the key to the success of each organization is the Business Process. Therefore, it is important to have a strong interpretation of Business Process Management in organizations. Organizations have experienced that Business Process Management is strong investment to come across the environmental changes. Business Process Management is a holistic management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the demands and needs of clients. It promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology. Business Process Management attempts to improve processes continuously. It can therefore be described as a "process optimization process." It is argued that BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, more effective and more capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach. Business process management activities can be grouped into five categories: designing, modeling, execution, monitoring, and optimization. With respect to the fact that Business Process Management System automates all the processes in organizations, every solution ends up in Business Process Management System as the essential core of organizational systems in order to improve their performance. In this paper, different types of data related to a specific Process will be mentioned, then a solid model will be explained in order to coordinate the data with Business Process Management, afterwards Business Process Management System will be introduced. At the end, the harmony for Business Process Management and Strategic Management will be explained because compiling a suitable strategy and, more importantly, its proper implementation using the Process Management improves the organization performance and beneficiaries' satisfaction.

Nowadays, sophisticated technologies, such as Information Technology systems arise from new demands in case of technology perception. With increasing tendency in using Web-based technologies for ameliorating job performance, Information Technology systems act as a vital section in business operations. In the current research, results of organizational development pertaining to critical factors of web-based knowledge management effective transmission are concerned. Infusion and diffusion processes are evaluated by acceptance of effectiveness of web-based knowledge management technology in organizational systems. Incepted acceptance and transmission of Information Technology tools in the accepting system business processes, will not necessarily guarantee the change in taste of users and designers. It becomes obvious only at a time when IT systems cause changes. Once this technology is deployed, a need for acquiring and measuring integration arises; this claims that a need for diffusion level as a source of change exists. Each of mentioned processes, i.e. Infusion and Diffusion, are influenced by a set of constituents. In this study, we use experimental models of infusion and diffusion for web-based Knowledge Management technology. The change source in technology transmission is considered in this research. Also, some applicable advices are suggested for effective transmission of web-based knowledge management technology in organizations. This research is done to find out the factors affecting technology transmission and IT technologies acceptance.

Trend of increasing competition leads to promotion of technical economy. Cost reduction and quality improvement has been introduced as bases for survival in global markets. What make this easier and accelerate it, are technical changes and improving efficiency and productivity. On the one hand, technology has a special position in theories of economic growth and in regard to constraints in economy and optimal use of available resources has an important role. Technology is divided into different levels with different features and effects. One of these effects is the differences of efficiency between the different levels of technology that this paper intends to compare the efficiency of industries with different technologies. For this purpose, data from firms with 10 employees or more from Iran Statistical Center has been used. In this study, the efficiency of industries with various technology levels (high tech industries, medium tech industries and low tech industries) using data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been measured. Industries with different technologies have different production functions, so in order to estimate production functions of these industries, econometric panel data method has been used. Results of the research indicate that managerial efficiency of low technology industries, in comparison with other industries, is lower and technical efficiency of high technology industries is lower than other industries. However, industries with medium level of technology have appropriate level of technical efficiency, technological efficiency, and managerial efficiency and also scale efficiency. Manuscript profile

Knowledge Management and Human Resources Management are two significant fields in Organization Management. Despite the vast literature available on each of them, their putting into practice is indeed challenging. On the one hand, Knowledge Management is considered as an additional work procedure in some organizations mainly due to the intangibility of the value which it adds to the system in the short run. On the other hand, in some other organizations, Human Resources Management is reduced to personnel management and handling the employees official tasks. Therefore its principles such as employees' performance appraisal, leading in most cases to the achievement of organizational goals, are exploited as a means for either encouraging or punishing the employees. This research aims at defining a framework, through studying the different aspects of Knowledge Management and Human Resources Management, in which these two fields interactively produce a combinatory system which helps them effectively flourish and brings about their overlapping so that they can compensate for each field's deficiencies.

The best way to achieve competence in global market is through planning and upgrading core competencies. Not only will the knowledge economy change the experience of workers, but organizations and countries must also rethink their economic strategies. How well an individual, an organization, an industry, a country does in acquiring and applying knowledge will become the key competitive factor. An organization with a good sense of KM has the potential to create significant value, but only if it is linked to its overall strategy and strategic decisions. Knowledge management (KM) is the latest strategy in increasing organizational competitiveness. The concept of treating organizational knowledge as a valuable strategic asset has recently become extremely common. KM efforts have been primarily focused on developing new applications of information technology, complemented to a lesser degree with implementing new organizational forms. The link between knowledge and business strategy has basically been overlooked. Thus KM has unfortunately developed into a matter of information technology primarily, followed by one of organizational behavior with business strategy generally not even considered. The purpose of present paper is to identify the relationship between KM and the firm's competitive advantage. In the first section the pertinent literature related to knowledge management and its impact on the competitive advantage of the firm was examined. Then the Porter's (1979) five forces model and Wernerfelt's (1984) Resource-based view of the firm were reviewed. In the next section the link between KM and strategy formulation by drawing on the resource-based view of the firm is addressed. In the last section the strategic reference points (SRPs) theory has been introduced and applied for classifying the KM strategies. Manuscript profile

This paper explains the nature of integration between knowledge management (KM) and Business Intelligence (BI). There has been some confusion as to the relationship between KM and BI. BI mainly focuses on explicit knowledge, but KM encompasses both tacit and explicit knowledge. Both of them promote learning, decision- making and understanding. KM influences BI through organizational knowledge creation, knowledge transfer and learning. Therefore, this paper defines BI as a part of KM by evaluating importance of their integration. As this relationship improves right decision-making in organizations and their performance because of the rise and fall of the economic environment, enterprises need to adjust their policies and strategies rapidly in order to respond to sophistication of competitors, customers and suppliers. Information is known as the main key for enterprises so integrating Business Intelligence and Knowledge management are used not only for saving suitable information for enterprise but also for improving performance and process of activities in organizations.

Management experts have considered knowledge management, in the course of the past several years, as a managerial solution and have recommended, to the managers, the application of its tools for increasing the enterprise efficiency. This point should be also mentioned that prior to the current development of knowledge management literature, knowledge management existed in enterprises in traditional ways. Definitely the effective development of new knowledge management tools in these enterprises must be firstly based on the same traditional tools, in order to improve them, and secondly these tools must conform to the enterprises' structure- and also the elements of this structure. One of the most crucial elements of this structure is technology level; however, it is needless to mention that knowledge management tools for low-tech enterprises are different from those for high-tech enterprises. Throughout the article, based on a statistical research carried out in small and medium enterprises in the area of metal industry- with low technology level- traditional knowledge management tools in-use are determined and defined.

The emergence of petroleum industry in Iran dates back to more than a century ago and the industry has played a major role in the countrys economy from the very beginning. However, when it comes to the required technologies, the industrys dependency on foreign companies is evident. Independent technology development, on the other hand, is not an easy task since it requires a tight interconnection with Intellectual Property (IP) management. The industrys failure in independently developing its technological needs, can hence be partially attributed to mismanagement of IP. This paper investigates the role of IP and its management in an industrial context, focusing on industries actively pursuing high technological capabilities. Afterward, the petroleum industry and the role of IP management therein are reviewed. Finally the achievements of Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) in managing its IP portfolio are introduced. Manuscript profile

Nowadays, having the ability of foresight and decision-making is essential for any organization. Advanced and successful organizations have chosen knowledge-oriented strategy to survive in the competitive and rapidly changing environments. Handling of changes and good decision making about them plays a central role in the future success or failure of organizations. Two important concepts that have important role in managers’ decision makings are Business Intelligence (BI) and Knowledge Management (KM). Business intelligence and knowledge management are relative concepts to each other .The relations between these concepts has not been yet offered clearly and determining the boundary of these two concepts is difficult for managers. Researchers have considered different links between them. In this paper, business intelligence and knowledge management will be defined and then different viewpoints about the type of relationship between these concepts will be expressed. In general, it is recognized that knowledge management and business intelligence both have common and same goal which is improving decision-making process and finally improving the business performance. Implementation and execution of these concepts would consider as organization's competitive advantage. However, knowledge management, including both explicit and tacit knowledge, and also considers unstructured data, while business intelligence generally focuses on explicit knowledge. Finally, concluded that, knowledge management and business intelligence should be integrated regardless of the type of relationship between them, because each has advantages and disadvantages.

A firm which pays close attention to provide a new product and market attendance and innovation commercialization is introduced as a knowledge based firm. In such firms, since invest emphasizes on innovation and commercialization, so lack of attention to economy and market risks may lead to a considerable damage to the firm.

Established large companies always need a lot of costs that are not met, therefore, the creation of joint stock companies is an effective method for doing business. In addition, changes in the business environment makes companies to move forward and requires that they become associated with these changes. This requires an effective strategy and considering the fact that many of the strategies are not entered into the implementation phase, portfolio management as a new model of management to implement strategies to help companies comes to mind. In this paper, using literature review and study framework and using interviews and questionnaires, the model is designed for a Joint Stock Company. This includes : strategic plan portfolio, defined portfolio, strategic change management, network structure portfolio, prioritize and select projects based on ANP, measuring earned value project portfolio, collection and delivery information stakeholders confirmed the basket by stakeholders, ratification and implementation of the project portfolio, portfolio monitoring and feedback ". The validity and reliability of the proposed model by collecting 14 questionnaires and Cronbach's alpha coefficient formula and the carcass is proved. In this paper, a field study is conducted in a Joint Stock Company. The criteria necessary for prioritizing and selecting projects that include criteria of economic profit and human resources as well as criteria related to social aspects were extracted and using network analysis process, the selected projects were prioritized based on criteria.

The experiences of the experts are the most important sources of knowledge and institutional training. Sometimes it is hard or impossible to describe tacit knowledge. Experts are very busy and valuable people. The separation of their work for the process of acquiring knowledge, should not be long. Acquisition of tacit knowledge is costly and time taking process. In large organizations, experts are not centralized in a building or a city. Knowledge users may also have broad geographical scope. The techniques of knowledge will not be able to have a performance alone. So, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Organization's knowledge acquisition project, storytelling and the scenario techniques for the acquisition and dissemination of experiences of experts are combined. With the compilation of the necessary requirements in order to create a model based on storytelling, validation of the proposed model is outlined. There is no research on effective parameters and system requirements for the acquisition of experience. Therefore, to implement the model these features must be described and prioritized. Increase the efficiency of the knowledge techniques, create the model comparison system, gain experience and increase the participation of experts and other agents of knowledge in organizations, are the results of this research. This model suggests the structured acquisition of tacit knowledge. Manuscript profile

Today, in most project-based organizations, project managers are facing with many challenges. 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.

Creativity appearance in organizations surprisingly affects in successful solving of problems, their survival, and reaching to desirable point of competitiveness and industrial productivity. In one side industrial organizations with decentralizing approach from organizational structure in the form of giving authority from managers to lower levels are going to reach to economical efficiency, creativity and finally to a higher productivity. In this article looking at Hanson Theory about decentralizing strategies, we have identified equifinality (using different technologies, methods, and resources for reaching to a creatively predetermined and great result) as a loosely strategies of decentralization. Considering researches have been done in a context of creativity and equifinality as a Decentralized Management Approach, we can see lots of researchers referred to the importance necessity of this phenomenon as a one of open system characteristics to intensify creativity, competitiveness’ prosperity, and productivity. But a comprehensive research has not been observed in related with correlation of creativity and equifinality in industrial organizations’ subject in a special case. In this research with using content Analysis method, a new category of equifinality usages in organization that causes creativity results, have been attempted to represent by surveying the past studies in relation with “decentralized management and equifinality” and “equifinality and creativity”. With revision and surveying the theories of different researchers in relation with the subject of decentralized management, equifinality and creativity, research's result subdivided in two dimensions accompanied with its components namely “equifinality and work process”, and “equifinality and structure”.

Open innovation represents an emergent paradigm, which organizations must become familiar with and apply it in practice sooner or later in order to survive and prevent their failure. Factors such as diffusion of knowledge, increasing costs and complexity of R&D, the shortening of the technology life cycles, the growth of venture capital and presence of knowledgeable suppliers and clients, have weakened the close innovation paradigm. So, self-sufficient, inward focus, monopoly of knowledge and capital investment on internal research, does not create competitive advantages for organizations any more. In open innovation era, organizations make use of both internal and external resource of knowledge to drive their innovation processes, also search different internal and external ways to develop their markets. With regard to inescapable deployment of open innovation, now the question is what items should be considered by organizations in the shift from close innovation to open innovation? In other words, what are the requirements for implementing open innovation approach in organizations? This paper will answer the question by review of pervious research to identify and describe dimensions which could lead organizations in order to implement open innovation. These dimensions which named “the requirements to shift from close innovation into open innovation” and presented in conceptual framework of paper, are: networking, open innovation processes, organizational structures and knowledge management systems. Organizations should notice these dimensions interact each other, so change along one dimension will impact on the others. Manuscript profile

The purpose of the present research is identifying factors that influence the success of knowledge management systems in organizations in resistant economy conditions. Currently we face the problems of asymmetry of information and asymmetry of information in different sections can set grounds for increasing corruption and damage to resistant economy. Measures to reduce the asymmetry are necessary to be thought of. One of the strategies is using knowledge management systems. However, according to limitations appeared during the sanctions, successful implementation of these systems has faced some barriers. Therefore, identification of factors that lead to successful implementation of knowledge management systems can be very influential because, whether during the sanctions or after them, attempts should continue to be made in the field of establishing resistant economy. Hence, by reviewing various studies conducted in the field of knowledge management, 15 variables have been identified. In order to check the hypothesis, a researcher-made questionnaire was used whose validity was calculated by Cronbach’s Alpha to be 0.81. In order to test research questions, SPSS Version 18, MATLAB, TOPSIS and one-sample T-test were used. Research results showed that all variables were identified to be influencing the success of knowledge management systems in resistant economy. Information technology infrastructures had the highest importance and periodical evaluations had the least importance from among the 15 variables. Manuscript profile

Nowadays the role of technology as a key factor in creating wealth and permanent competitive advantages in various levels has been proven. With due attention to the role of R&D centers in promoting firms’ technological capabilities, the management of these centers are extremely important. So, it is essential to present a framework in order to selecting new managers or extending the capabilities of current managers of these centers. In current study the concept of manager competencies and some previous frameworks in this area have been studied. Then, through holding a panel with 12 academic and industrial experts, the identified competencies were confirmed. Afterwards, 32 competencies were categorized in 3 categories: 1. Individual and personality competencies, 2. Managerial and leadership competencies, and 3. Technical and professional competencies. Finally, through inviting 62 executive managers who work in these centers, and introducing and explaining about identified competencies, a questionnaire was given to them.

The practical relevance of management research is an ongoing concern for many management scholars. The source of this concern is that arguments relying on experience and intuition for decision making by the individual manager or Organizational Management Council poll, would not guarantee achieving organizational goals and realization of the organizational programs. Evidence-based management as a solution to this problem is to combine the best evidence of ideas, research results and research organization in the field of management to make the best decision. The literature on this subject has had a significant increase in the last decade, yet Iran has not been considered, thus, it is difficult to find a Persian article on the subject. The purpose of this paper is to introduce evidence-based management and to provide a mechanism for management more evidence-based and result-oriented than ever. This research has a practical objective, in terms of nature, quality and library method of data collection (secondary studies, meta-synthesis) and is based on an online study of information sources. The article by hypothesizing the premise that managers’ lack awareness of evidence-based approach has led to this concept to be less considered. By reviewing the literature on evidence and classification of evidence, as well as evidence-based management, we offer a five-step model: “What do we need to know?; Finding the evidence; Getting the needed insights ; Communicating the message; Making the right evidence -based decisions”.

During the last decade, the key role of information and communication technology has proven to facilitate the process of transition and change of organizations; The e-readiness is the platform for entering into the modern time and activities in the networked world ad well as competition in the market. Thus, the design of e-readiness evaluation models, regarding the internal and environmental conditions of organizations and communities with the purpose of assessing their e-readiness level is necessary. However, without the evaluation of e-readiness of the organization, activity in the networked world will be impossible and have very high obstacles. In this paper, a brief introduction of the proposed models for the evaluation of the e-readiness and their classification have been discussed. Moreover, the factors influencing the e-readiness of the small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the e-commerce market have been investigated and detected through a combination approach of Shannon entropy. In this paper, after identifying and introducting existing models; the concepts, dimensions, and indices of the research were extracted and ranked by the Shannon entropy method. The results of this study show that the first ranked factors were organizational factors. Then environmental and man power factors were ranked second and third, respectively. Manuscript profile

Today, the success of organizations is based on the strategic management of knowledge. Implementing knowledge management systems faces challenges that will cause the inefficiency of knowledge management in organizations. Hence, identification and rating the effective factors in the successful implementation of knowledge management is one of the essential requirements of knowledge management that was discussed in the current research. Currently, 7 science and technology parks and 1,400 knowledge-based companies in parks are located in Tehran. In the current research, companies located in growth centers and science and technology parks in Tehran were studied. Questionnaire was distributed among 140 knowledge-based companies that they returned 110 questionnaires. In the current research, case study methods and data collection in fieldwork were used. To measure the variables of the research, the instrument of questionnaire using the Likert method was utilized that includes three main factors of the organization, human resources and information technology and 11 criteria as follows: Objects and perspectives, leadership and strategy, knowledge management cycle, application, software, infrastructure, organizational culture and atmosphere, creating financial motivation, encouraging employee morale, benchmarking the best things and performance management. Reliability of the questionnaire, 0.78, was obtained using Cronbach's alpha. Friedman and one sample T-test and fitness of model were studied respectively using SPSS software and LISREL software. As a result, objects and perspectives of the organization can be considered as the most important criterion, and we can refer to the information technology software as the least important criterion.

With the advent of growing knowledge of the economy and the rapid growth of technology, intellectual property has become the focus of attention of corporate investment managers and researchers. Patent are considered to be the most important intellectual asset, and one of the reasons for this is the extensive research that has been done on the various dimensions of these rights. The patent provides the possessor with the possibility to use the technology exclusively for a limited period (often twenty years). Since many industrial and service companies need to acquire new technologies by the purchase of patent rights to maintain their competitive advantage and sustained business growth, the issue of patent assessment has become a serious challenge in the field of technology. In this research, a model for evaluating and ranking patents based on multi-criteria programming methods is presented and then the resulting model is implemented in a cell phone company. The company is required to choose a technology from four technologies: (1) a dual display, (2) missing phone tracking, (3) wireless communications security, and (4) remote banking to develop its products. The implementation of the model is based on four main criteria: (1) the essence of technology, (2) the cost of technology, (3) the product market, and (4) the technology market in the company led to the choice of wireless security technology. Also the accuracy of the result obtained from the implementation of the research model has been confirmed by the method of ELECTRE. Manuscript profile

The business approach and risk management framework of the company through the establishment and maintenance of the information security management system (ISMS) is a framework for identifying, assessing, controlling and managing the risks associated with information security in the company. It is based on privacy standards, integrity and availability of information assets. In the present report, not only a model for evaluating the information security maturity in the headquarters of one of the oil industry companies is developed, but also the defect analysis and implementation of the existing organization are initially carried out in accordance with the requirements of ISO 27000. By defining the indicators of evaluation and measurement of these indicators in the organization, its maturity is estimated in this security standard. Different models are presented to identify the weaknesses and security powers of a particular organization. The goal is to identify a gap between theory and practice that can be approximated by the process-oriented approach. The puberty model introduced and used in this project, provides a starting point for implementing security, a public view of security, and a framework for prioritizing operations. This model of information security maturity has 5 phases. (The maturity model is information security as a tool for assessing the ability of organizations to meet security goals, that is, confidentiality, integrity and availability, and prevent attacks and access to the mission of the organization in spite of attacks and accidents)??. This model defines a process that has all aspects of security management, measurement, and control. The results of the evaluation show that the organizations which have security investments ahead of time have to understand the needs for high-level management of information security in the organization, and in addition to the actions taken in the field of physical environment, network and personal computers, controls access and encryption have been made to identify the necessary training and culture.

Today, the use of joint research and development has facilitated technological progress, which has led to the production of new products, processes and services for the market. In order to protect these achievements, intellectual property rights in international technological cooperation as well as collaborative research projects between the private and public sectors, especially in the field of patents, have become twofold important. Intellectual property plays an essential role in promoting this type of collaboration between the university, industry and government and plays a complementary role in technology development. But a look at Iran's intellectual property policies in joint research projects and consortiums in the past shows that there is no coherent and complete framework for intellectual property arising from these collaborations, so the main purpose of this study is to examine the role of intellectual property rights in joint research projects and consortiums and political advice to those involved. This research is a review of the literature and uses a library methodology and in-depth study of available literature and articles and internal and external books on intellectual property and joint research projects, and specifically on model agreements in the Consortium of Europe and the United Kingdom, and finally a model agreement has been proposed to managers and policy makers active in the field of science and technology development in Iran, given that such agreements are less visible.

Complex products and systems (CoPS) are products, systems, services and infrastructure assets that are costly and require advanced technology and are known as capital goods. The technological complexity of CoPS is an important competitive advantage, for companies and even governments. As these products are customized, the development of them is considered as projects. In compare to common projects, the difference in the nature of the CoPS products has led to some differences in managing them. In this study, we are going to explore the differences in the CoPS projects and how they are managed by exploring the comprehensive CoPs literature review from the project management perspective. In the initial search, 84 papers were identified. After studying abstracts, the number of related articles was reduced to 22. After studying articles, we classified them and examined how to managed CoPS projects. According to the results, managing CoPS projects are diffrent from some aspects such as integration management, communication management, scope management, project planning and control, time and cost management, risk management and stakeholder management in compared to common projects. Organizations should consider these differences in managing CoPS projects. The results also indicate that the number of studies carried out on CoPS projects is not very high, especially in Iran. The most important identified gap research is the lack of applied studies in various industries, including communications, defense industries, and so on. Manuscript profile

Cloud computing is a concept introducing in the world of information technology recently, and provides an environment for sharing sources. In this environment, an efficient and effective scheduling system plays a fundamental role. Hence, the problem of scheduling tasks in cloud computing is a very important issue, which tries to identify an optimal scheduling for performing tasks and allocating an optimal source. The purpose of this research is to provide a new hybrid model for optimization of scheduling tasks based on combination of dynamic adaptive and genetic algorithms in a cloud computing environment. The hybrid model aimed to cover the defects of these algorithms. Based on this model, an initial solution was presented for resolving the weakness of the genetic algorithm, the action of low speed as well as the weakness of the dynamic adaptive algorithm, trapping in local answers. In the proposed model, first, dynamic adaptive algorithm could find an appropriate solution for scheduling problem within a good time using the technique of searching required resources by KD tree and data retrieval in parallel. This solution, as an initial answer, was given to the genetic algorithm, and this algorithm performed the optimal research. As a consequence, the final algorithm, a combination of these two algorithms, provides a better load balancing for cloud resources in a relatively acceptable time. Manuscript profile

In the present study, the perfect human being and his existential values in Golshan Razn Masnavi of Sheikh Mahmoud Shabestari and the Golden Dynasty of Abdolrahman Jami are studied and compared descriptively-analytically. Since both poets are influenced by theoretical mysticism and the views of Mohi al-Din Ibn Arabi, in fact, these works are discussed from the perspective of theoretical mysticism, which is the product of Ibn Arabi's thoughts. In theoretical mysticism, the main purpose of creating the universe is the perfect man, and the perfect man is the place of all the designs of the divine names, and in fact the universe was created because of him. The results show that there are many similarities in the above topics, including the themes of Muhammadan truth, the attribution of the perfect man to the attributes of the Almighty, the unity of existence, rank and status of the perfect man in the mystical ideas of Golshan Raz in the eighth century and the Golden Dynasty.

The frequency of being influenced by the Qur'an and Hadith in Vesal's Divan in terms of poetic format is firstly assigned to his poems and then to his Masnavi, and in Vesal's sonnets, despite the high number, less influence is observed in this format; Also, Vesal has been influenced by the Qur'an and hadiths, who has taken advantage of this whenever he has a suitable opportunity and has done so in various ways; These include a special insistence on borrowing the words of the verses of the Qur'an, comparing them with verses and hadiths, and turning the audience's mind to the verses. The method considered in this research is a library method based on analysis and description of quantitative and qualitative content. Manuscript profile

Urban management in Iran is not interconnected with urban planning. Unfortunately, in our country, most urban management measures have been taken from above and out, which now require a move from the bottom and from within to solve the challenges. The urban management model, the country's major political system and national laws have a significant impact on the type of local government and the power of urban management institutions. Accordingly, in this study, the two countries of Turkey and Malaysia were chosen because of the cultural, religious, political, and the South Korean proximity due to the convergence of the beginning of national development and the type of political system of the same type. With regard to the comparative comparison, the main goal of urban management in these countries is to carry out urban affairs with maximum democracy by creating citizen participation both in the dimension of choice and then in monitoring. Urban management in Iran is not autonomous and can not be answered in the current state of affairs. Urban issues. Therefore, a model for city affairs in Iran should be guaranteed to guarantee the independence of the city administration from the field of management and macro power, creating civil institutions and encouraging popular participation, and ultimately preventing the creation of the power of political parties at national level in the field of management Became a city.

The specific unity or plurality of man is one of the problems that has often remained a marginal one and taken for granted as a presupposition in traditional philosophy. In the past, most Muslim philosophers defended the specific unity of man. However, the opponents of this idea posed the specific plurality of man using a demonstrative method. Of course, in the works of some of the advocates of the specific unity of man, such as Ibn Sina, there are some pieces of evidence attesting to this theory. This paper discusses and examines the curve of the evolution of the specific plurality and inequality of man with reference to some prominent and influential thinkers such as Ibn Sina, Suhrawardi, and Mulla Sadra. This curve has undergone some fluctuations in the philosophical and kalami schools of the world of Islam. Nevertheless, the process of its development entails the following theories: specific plurality of man at the level of evidence by Ibn Sina, graded specific unity (unequal equal human beings) by Suhrawardi, and three models of purely ontological and graded specific unity, the quiddative graded specific unity seeking ontological graded specific unity, and quiddative graded specific plurality seeking ontological graded specific unity by Mulla Sadra. It is noted that each of the three-fold Sadrian models exists in two apriori and aposteriori forms. The Sadrian specific plurality, because of its relying on solid supporting principles, having a variety of models, and entailing apriori and aposteriori forms of specific plurality, created a transformed atmosphere of inequality of human beings. In order to demonstrate the substantial difference between this type of plurality and the specific plurality of human beings before Mulla Sadra, the writer has referred to the former as human life-specific model.

Following an analytic descriptive method, this paper aims to configure and briefly analyze the theory or, at least, approach of Khwajah Nasir al-Din Tusi regarding the management of the household and the quality of resolving family problems. Given the findings of this study, it seems that, in Tusi’s definition of family, the existence of some full-time servants at home is necessary. This definition could have been developed under the influence of Tusi’s social class. It seems that his views of the desirable economic cycle of the family and its necessary elements need to be modernized in order to become more compatible with present economic realities. The findings of this study further demonstrate that Tusi’s approach to family management is similar to that of a physician. In other words, he believes that the head of the family, as a more experienced and knowledgeable person, should diagnose the defects of the family members with a sympathetic attitude and then try to remedy them.

The discussion of man’s existence and his truth and station in the world of creation has always attracted the attention of philosophers as one of the important philosophical issues. Muslim philosophers have also dealt with the problem of man in their discussions. The fundamental point in philosophical anthropology is to speak about the truth of man as a distinct and chosen existent among all others. Abulhassan ‘Amiri Nishaburi, the Iranian Muslim philosopher, is one of the thinkers who has posed certain discussions regarding the truth of man in his philosophical works. As a result, here the writers have compared his views in this regard with those of Mulla Sadra as a distinguished philosopher with some novel theories about the truth of man. In doing so, they have tried to analyze their ideas and reveal their points of agreement and disagreement. Here, their conception of man as a creature of God composed of soul and body, their conception of the soul as the truth of man and, as a result, their opposition to materialistic approaches can be considered to be among their common points. On the other hand, their views concerning the body-soul relationship and its quality can be viewed as their points of difference. Mulla Sadra believes that the body-soul relationship is a necessary and ontological one, and introduces the steam-like spirit as the mediator between the two. Then, by posing the theory of corporeal origination, he provides a more comprehensive theory. Nevertheless, ‘Amiri considers this relationship to be an accidental one and does provide a clear explanation to justify his position in this regard. It is emphasized that both of them conceive of the intellect as one of the levels of the soul, the element distinguishing man from other existents, and the criterion for the truth of man.

238 - A Comparison of the Views of Suhrawardī and Mullā Ṣadrā on Khosravani Perfect Man
Zahra Lotfi’ Abdollah Salavati

Suhrawardī’s light-oriented philosophy interprets spiritual wayfaring as the intuition of Nūr al-anwār (Light of all lights) within the framework of different levels and luminous realms. Nūr al-anwār illuminates the world and rules a kingdom. It is referred to as khvarenah (divine mystical force) in Avesta and as Farr (glory and splendor) in Persian. Farr is a divine gift that makes the individual who is blessed with it worthy of caliphate and kingship. Suhrawardī stipulates that the perfect man, who has been called with names such as Espahbodi Noor, Minavi (spiritual) Lights, Chief of Elements, Avarman Aspahr Angel, and Ravanbakhsh (Soul Giver), enjoys the station of royal glory, kingship, and charisma. He also believes that the highest position belongs to those kings whose existential realm is the locus of a collection of divine lights, glory, and beauty. In fact, they are the manifestation of divine perfection on Earth. In contrast, Mullā Ṣadrā follows an ontological approach to the features of perfect man. He believes that the perfect man is the all-showing mirror of the Truth and divine names and attributes and maintains that it is their nominal comprehensiveness which makes them worthy of divine vicegerency. Given the different basic principles of light and existence in these two philosophical schools, the present paper mainly aims to provide an answer to the questions of who a perfect man is and what their referents are. Mullā Ṣadrā considers existence to be principial and examines the whole being and place following an ontological approach and, thus, sees a perfect man as an individual who has reached the supreme level of existence and perfect intellectual immateriality. However, Suhrawardī holds that a typical perfect man could be any individual who has reached the level of royal glory and intuition. Manuscript profile

Deism refers to a philosophical and theological view of God, Man, and religion. The present paper aims to provide a conceptual analysis of Deism in the 17th and 18th centuries through exploring its etymology and following an analytic-descriptive method. Moreover, it is intended to present a general classification of Deism based on Clarke’s classification. An encyclopedic definition of deism suffers from ambiguity, and a reference to etymological dictionaries reveals that the etymological subtleties of this term have not been taken into consideration in the conversion of dues into deism. However, through Clarke’s classification, one can develop a better grasp of the distinction of the deism of his time from theism and its different types. Clarke’s four-fold classification, as the first comprehensive report of deism, claims that the proximity and similarity of deism to Christianity, from the first type to the fourth type, proceeds stepwise from a minimum to a maximum. Deists of the first type reject divine providence but believe in unity, creation, and God’s knowledge. The second group of deists, while believing in the deistic propositions of this type, consider physical laws to be ruled by divine providence but reject its rule over ethical laws. The third group believe that God’s providence is related to His moral perfections, and He governs the world relying on His moral attributes including justice, benevolence, and honesty. Finally, deists of the fourth type, in addition to the above doctrines, believe in the immortality of the soul and otherworldly reward and punishment. According to Clarke, all types of modern deism deny the Christian revelation, and one of the main differences from revealed religions is conceptology and believing in divine revelation.

One of the most important and accurate problems in Fārābī’s epistemological philosophy is the question of perception and its relationship with the soul, reason, and ontological promotion. In sharp contrast to Aristotle, Fārābī challenges the theory of the passivity of the soul in perception, considers the soul to be the creator of perception and, in this way, founds the theory of the soul as an active agent. This theory has influenced the ideas of all the philosophers after him in the field of Islamic philosophy, from Ibn Sīnā to ‘Allamāh Ṭabāṭabā’ī. Fārābī connects perception with manifestation and presence, which are mainly discussed in the philosophical schools of Suhrawardī and Mullā Ṣadrā and defends it from the view point of ontology. Some of Fārābī’s innovations include acknowledging the creativity of the soul in perception, granting a graded nature to perception and knowledge, paying attention to the emergent and ontological mode of knowledge, understanding the generous and giving nature of knowledge alongside attaching fundamental importance to sense perception, criticizing non-certain types of knowledge and presenting a fundamental view regarding certain knowledge and, finally, introducing perception as a process. Following a comparative approach, the present study examines the problem of perception and its nature in Fārābī’s philosophy, while considering the views of other Muslim philosophers, and portrays the significance of his theory of perception.

In theoretical gnosis, based on the principle of the oneness of being, it is only the Truth Who is one and from Whom a single entity called the first emanated and Muhammedan truth is emanated. On the other hand, the Divine Names (and their hidden and objective loci of manifestations) are in conflict with each other because of their limitations, and the name of Allah and His loci of manifestation, the Muhammedan truth, establish balance and order between their names and manifestations. The order and balance among the conflicts of the hidden manifestations of names are established genetically through the fixed essence of the Muhammedan truth, whereas the same is done among the conflicts of objective manifestations through the external essence of the Muhammedan truth in the form of religious laws. The purpose of religious laws is to have people follow the Muhammedan religion in order to free themselves from conflicts and limitations and attain the level of limitlessness. Whenever they attain such a level, they unite with the Muhammedan truth, which is the manifestation locus of the name of God. It is through this union that they can dominate the realm of being and begin the act of creation there with the permission of the Truth and turn into a mediator between the Truth and creation in the same way that God’s Name and the Muhammedan Truth were the mediators between the Truth and creation at the beginning of the creation of existents. Therefore, religious law-making ends in creation. Manuscript profile

One of the important subjects which Ibn Arabi has tried to explain based on his own gnostic principles is the relationship between unity and plurality or the mode of the emanation of the plural from the one. While dealing with the levels of the world and referring to the place of presences and the degrees of being, he discusses the names and attributes of the Truth. Then, through explaining the emanation of names from essence and the relationships among them, he tries to explain the quality of the emanation of multiple names and the creation of existence from the simple essence of the one under the two titles of “community” and “opposition”. Given the depth and range of the discussion, the present paper shortly examines the problem of the community of names in Ibn Arabi’s philosophy following a descriptive method and under the subcategories of the meaning and plurality of names, community of names, and types of community and finally ends with a conclusion section. It is hoped that this endeavor can cast a light on the discussed issue. Manuscript profile

Since Almighty God has created the human soul as a comprehensive example of all beings in the world, and also because the human soul rules and manages its realm similar to a powerful administrator and leader, this study, inspired by a philosophical approach to the soul, aims to revisit the patterns of the management of organizational behavior and supreme organizational acts. The reason is that one of the successful methods of portraying valid social structures is to benefit from the truth of the creation-centered fitrah (primordial nature). This paper explains the relationship between the soul and its faculties based on the psychological approaches of the Peripatetic and Transcendent schools of philosophy. Here, the writers clarify the theories of “conquer relation” and “gradation relation” and try to gain a new perspective of the relationship between the soul and its faculties as two models of management and leadership, called “delegated management” and “diffused management” and explain their features. Finally, they try to provide and explain a single model based on an integration of the mentioned models. Manuscript profile

When discussing the rational soul, Muslim philosophers deal with certain problems such as the eternity or originatedness, immateriality or materiality, and the subsistence or annihilation of the soul after death. As a prominent Muslim gnostic, Rumi tried to provide some answers to similar philosophical questions. However, it is noted that his approach was to some extent different from that of philosophers. In his view, the core of the problem was the perfection of the soul through wayfaring, abandoning the world of matter, and union with the Essence of the Truth at the level of oneness and divinity. Since knowledge is at the heart of gaining proximity to God, Rumi focused his efforts on defining the soul in the light of intuitive knowledge and explained the difference among human beings in terms of their specific differences. He believed in the union of the soul with the Essence of the Truth and maintained that this union has some effects on the soul. Manuscript profile

Different philosophical and gnostic schools have each presented some theories regarding the perfect Man relying on their own specific worldviews. Believing in a worldview based on the “individual unity of existence”, gnostics maintain that it is only the Truth which exists, and what is other than the Truth is only among the modes and manifestations of the Truth. In the view of this group, the perfect Man is a human being who has attained supreme glory. Such a person is indeed the locus of the manifestation of essential and nominal perfections of the Truth rather than having a different existence from the Truth. In his critique of gnostics’ theory of perfect Man, Mutahhari, based on the theory of the graded unity of existence, believes that the perfect Man is a human being who, while actualizing all goals and values to the level of moderation in oneself, has a single goal in mind which is the same proximity to God. According to the gradedness of existence, multiple goals and a single goal are the same but are different in their levels. In multiple goals, the intentions and the ultimate levels of divine proximity are also different. In other words, in the view of Mutahhari, as the graded unity of existence dominates the truth of being, a human being who has attained the graded goal is the same perfect Man. In this paper, the writer explains that none of Mutahhari’s criticisms of gnostics’ views are justified, and explicit references in the related texts demonstrate the falsity of his objections. Therefore, gnostics provide a more complete explanation of the perfect Man, and the existence of this human being is consistent with the individual unity of existence. Manuscript profile

This paper aims to provide a general picture of the social dimension of perfect Man based on the statements in Nahj al-Balāghah and their philosophical analysis relying on the principles of the Transcendent Philosophy. This social dimension includes the characteristics of a perfect Man in interaction with other human beings within his social and this-worldly structure. The knowledge of perfect Man in this area reveals his civilizational role in the human society and in the actualization the Transcendent society. This study was carried out following a descriptive-analytic method. According to the teachings of Nahj al-Balāghah and the principles of the Transcendent Philosophy, beginning a philosophical revolution in society and leading it in the right direction are accomplished through intrinsic awakening and flourishing of human beings and revealing their intellectual treasures. Such treasures provide the basis for the social activities of perfect Man which, along with his other ontological perfections and because of people’s obeying him, result in the social, cultural, political, and economic development and prosperity and the establishment of transcendent society. Hence, the centrality and leadership of perfect Man and people’s obedience for him are the foundations and most important pillars of the realization of the idea of transcendent society.

Man’s corporeal dimension is of great significance from various angles in Mullā Ṣadrā’s anthropology. In this paper, the authors deal with one of its important dimensions, that is, its ontological functions. Mullā Ṣadrā has not allocated any independent section to the functions of Man’s corporeal dimension in his works and has not even directly referred to it. However, these functions can be inferred from his views. A study of his works indicate that Man’s corporeal dimension performs some important functions from an ontological perspective. In this regard reference can be made to the following functions: developing belief, promotion and evolution of Man, having free will, performing opposite acts, completing mental and rational acts, constructing and improving the world, realizing the noblest order, granting identity to the soul, and developing the identity of the perfect Man and some apparently contradictory roles such as becoming the source of evil and the source of freedom from evil. This study, which has been conducted following the library and content analysis methods, in addition to demonstrating the significance and necessity of Man’s corporeal dimension in the world of creation, illustrates that the functions of this dimension have various aspects from an ontological viewpoint and pertain to a number of important realms in the world of being.

One of the most comprehensive studies in the Sadrian philosophical system pertains to the field of anthropology. Moreover, one of the manifestations of the comprehensiveness of this discussion is dealing with the nature and place of the perfect Man in the order of being and its referents and worldly and other-worldly functions, which have been explored in several studies. However, what they have all neglected is the attention to the reasons of the specific nature of this station and its consequences in this school of philosophy. It seems that the attention to this point can grant more depth to anthropological discussions in the Transcendent Philosophy and Islamic philosophy. Accordingly, this study aims to provide an analytic account of the reason for the uniqueness of this station in Mullā Ṣadrā’s works. Here, while analyzing the factors affecting the emergence and perfection of human beings through difference of souls within the framework of apriori and aposteriori multiplicity, the authors explain the restriction of this station to quite a few people. The findings of this study indicate that the station of the perfect Man can be attained through the prophet’s invitation, obligation, courtesy, etc. Nevertheless, developing the highest levels of this station is not possible for all, which justifies the quality of the voluntary perfection of the Infallible Imāms (‘a) and the prophets (ṣ).

Moving towards information age which is the undeniable reality of third millennium, is more fundamental than conventional imaginations about the rise of computers or virtual spaces number only. In this era, a considerable share of intra and inter-urban communications done by Telecommunications, which is not only independent from geographical and physical environment, but also is completely intangible and invisible. Significant advances in telecommunications and undermining of time and distance constraints, in one hand, dominate a new logic –space of flows- on world geography and in the other hand, define the future city as an integrated physical- virtual phenomenon. Now the key question is that in such situation, to what extent the conventional methods in urban management based on only physical reality of cities, can manage and plan the new trends of future physical-virtual city? In this research, with a fundamental approach and analysis-based method, first we clarified the main features of current management and planning by studying the basic principals of industrial society. Then by comparing these with changes in the information era, the conformation of conventional methods has been evaluated. The research shows that these methods mainly don’t have enough correspondence with the principals of the new age. This leads to decrease in the efficiency of such patterns for the future city. These Incompatibilities have been explained as three challenges faced with current management and planning methods: challenge in concepts, challenge in method and challenge in indicators. Finally, we noted to some important point should be considered in the management and planning the future city. Manuscript profile

The Lack of project knowledge management in projects results in organizational knowledge fragmentation and loss of organizational learning. Due to importance of knowledge management in project based organizations, a knowledge management model with six hierarchical-levels is presented in this article indicating the time line for knowledge management and the extent of knowledge to be captured, acquired and shared. Level zero is equivalent to post-project reviews. Since the potential value of reuse of incident knowledge is declining over time, it is proposed in the second level to manage planning and implementation (execution, control and monitor) knowledge during each project phase respectively, conveying the concept of time value of the knowledge. The third level encompasses ten knowledge management areas in project management. The fourth level shows that the relationship between KM model dimensions and organizational intellectual capital. Knowledge maps role is apparent in fifth level. Finally, an implementation roadmap, including ten steps is presented. Since the proposed roadmap has its root in concepts and features of the proposed KM model, it could facilitate implementation of the KM model in project based organizations and lead to in-time knowledge management, project cost reduction and flourishing organizational learning. The research conducted in a project based organization in private sector, playing an active role in a wide range of services; engineering, procurement, installation, construction and commissioning in oil, gas and petrochemical projects.

One of the concepts that are presented in most of areas is sustainable management where human, social and environmental aspects are considered besides of economical impacts. One of the social aspects is agility of relief operations in emergency situations. To achieve agile management in such circumstances, a generalized model of the capacitated covering tour problem with the possibility of direct aid to the affected areas with hard time windows is provided in this study. The injured areas might be covered by relief centers or can be operated by a direct relief from the central station by special vehicles. To improve the model and management the time, constraints of hard time windows have been added to the model. This would prioritize the management of relief operations in injured areas due to the severity of the damage on them. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal set of established relief centers, distribute rescue teams and relief aid from the central station of the bases, and also deploy relief teams to the disaster that is not covered by any relief center in optimized cost and time. A mixed integer programming model is developed and a genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the model in large and medium instances. The results of numerical examples confirm the validity and effectiveness of the genetic algorithm. Manuscript profile

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.

The Urmia Lake is the greatest lake in Iran and the second saline lake in the world. This ecosystem contains a wide numbers of animals and plants. Urmia Lake has placed in the northwest of Iran and has economical, social and environmental importance for local people. Unfortunately, in recent years, various and complex problems have decreased the level of water in Urmia Lake strongly and deteriorate the future life of this lake significantly. However, in the last decade, more than half of the lake area has changed to the salt plains. Many researches address the Urmia Lake crises in recent years; however, most of them are unable to model the dynamism of Urmia basin as a whole system in long-term period. In this paper, the critical factors affecting the reduction of Urmia Lake water level are defined. In addition, a system dynamics model, which is able to illustrate the behavior of the whole system of Urmia Lake, is proposed. The developed model is validated through comparison analysis and the derived results show the high accuracy (around 97%) of the proposed model. Three policies are proposed and evaluated to increase the water inflow and Lake level. The simulation results show that the hybrid policy has more efficiency than the other ones. Also, a prediction of Urmia Lake volume is proposed based on model till 1405. Manuscript profile

Along with development in management literature, several solutions have been introduced to improve the effectiveness of organizations. Knowledge management as one of these solutions has been widely considered and using it, as a new method, is one of the organization’s necessities. But firstly this point should be mentioned that prior to the current development of knowledge management literature, knowledge management existed in organizations in traditional ways for years and should be considered in any new development in this field. Secondly, it has been observed that sometimes knowledge management new solutions are considered independent from their roles in organization effectiveness and KM comprehensive systems are recommended by management consultants as a definite effectiveness promotion solution. This article reflects the results of a research that has been conducted with two main goals, in organizations with small size and low technology level. First, study the level of knowledge management, in its traditional form in these organizations. Second, study the relationship between KM and effectiveness of these organizations. Manuscript profile

Success Factors in Knowledge Management (KM) capability in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have less been systematically investigated. Existing studies have derived their CSFs from large companies' perspectives and have not considered the needs of small businesses. In this article, existing studies on Knowledge Management capability success factors were reviewed and their limitations were identified. By integrating insights drawn from these studies, the authors proposed a set of 11 CSFs which is believed to be more suitable for SMEs. An empirical assessment was conducted to evaluate the extent of success of proposed propositions using experts’ opinions. The overall results from the empirical assessment were positive, thus reflecting the appropriateness of the proposed success factors. The set of success factors can act as a list of items for SMEs to address when adopting KM. However it can provide a common language for managers to discuss and study the factors crucial for the success of KM in SMEs. The results show that adequate and suitable leadership and management supports, use of Information Technology, bussiness strategies, motivation, resource availability, personnel education, human resource management, performance assessment measures, infrastructures and Knowledge Management processes can increase Knowledge Management capability in small firms.

In this modern world, considering expansion of competition and lack of resources, everybody knows the importance of measuring of productivity and decomposition of it. Although assigned about 2.8% of value added and 8.5% of employment of large manufacturing industries, the textile industry has not respected more attention. The main goal of this paper is measuring and analyzing of individual and total factor productivity in textile manufacturing industries during period of 1994-2007. For this purpose, after extraction of production factors (labor, capital stock, material and energy), it is measured individual productivity indexes in form of quotient of value added and each of production factors. It is also computed total factor productivity via divisia index and Tornqvist function. The results show that labor productivity has grown annually 4.4% because of labor decrease especially in large firms. However capital productivity has decreased less in the studying period. On the other hand, productivity of electricity consumption and material has decreased annually 1.7% and 1.9% respectively. Total factor productivity index has grown annually 0.6% in average and this improvement mainly has achieved via labor productivity. The econometric model for decomposition of total factor productivity in the textile manufacturing industries has confirmed the positive impacts of production values, per capita wages, percentage of small firms and government expenditures. It has also confirmed the negative impacts of foreign material dependency and working only in expert field. Manuscript profile

Natural Disasters have always been a part of life on our planet. With human society development, urban areas and Metropolises have not been safe from destructive effects and consequences of disasters. In addition to intensity and extent of disasters, vulnerability of societies has remarkable dependence on proper urban infrastructures, strong structures, preventive programs and appropriate preparation in emergency-related organizations. Occurrence of an onset disaster like earthquake, usually leads to secondary damages in urban areas; they happen for an obvious reason and have specific outcomes. Identification of all significant reasons and consequences results in creating a vulnerability map for urban wards which could be a useful basis for preventive programs. On the other side, one of the most effective and efficient approaches to create preparedness and response plan disaster management organizations, is designing a relief chain with proper logistic modules and devoting responsibilities to authorities, based on data achieved from damage estimation studies. Hence, in this paper, a sequential approach is used to apply geographic information system and eliciate experts' knowledge of urban areas so as to create both damage estimation and vulnerability maps; These information. In turn, help designing disaster management cycle, specifically, Preventive, preparedness and response programs for an urban area. In order to create a better perceptive of the proposed approach, Tehran municipality district (1) is used as a real case study and its vulnerability to a hypothetical earthquake is estimated to create disaster management program.

Abstract Portfolio selection is one of the most important areas in financial decision-making; A portfolio of stocks that could bring the highest rate of return and the lowest risk investment for its owner simultaneously. However in choosing the most prefered portfolio just these factors are not decisive and according to the economic environment, many factors can affect this process which should be employed. Therefore, these diversity of factors, bring to the limelight the importance of multi-criteria decision-making approaches. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of this approaches. The main purpose of this paper is comparing the traditional DEA approaches to a new proposed algorithm. In traditional approaches simply assumed that return to scale is constant or variable. This simplification may cause large errors. In the new algorithm by analyzing the behavior of return to scale, appropriate model will be used. As a case study, the models have been solved with real data belonging to Tehran stock exchange and the results have been analyzed. Manuscript profile

Abstract Projects are planned based on estimated amounts that are the result of having little information about the future plans. According to the uncertainty of planning, time delays and costs of uncertainty are inevitable. The main objective of this study is to present a new approach based on failure mode and effects analysis and fuzzy logic to identify the affecting risks on duration of projects and ranking them using Kepland technique. In addition, in this research Shannon entropy is used for calculation of the weights of indexes. So after the study of related researches as well as through interviews and Delphi technique, some risks were identified. Then, based on three indicators of risk in the FMEA (severity, probability of occurrence, probability of detection), three questionnaire was prepared and their validity was confirmed by experts and reliability was calculated by Cronbach coefficient using SPSS software. The population of the study is 22 managers and experts that work on Debal Khazaei Company. Using triangular fuzzy numbers, the verbal variables of questionnaires became fuzzy numbers. Shannon entropy is used for calculation of weight of each index. Then, using decision making methods, ELECTRE TAXONOMY, TOPSIS and SAW, the risks are ranked. Finally, because of the relative difference of ranking in different techniques, Kapland technique is used to combine the results. TO help for developing the strategies of responding to the risks, some suggestions are presented. The contribution of this research is the simultaneous use of FMEA and Shannon's entropy to analisys the importance of risks and the ranking of them using Kepland technique. Manuscript profile

Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the impact of demand management policies uncertainty on Tehran Stock Exchange output. The uncertainty in money supply and government expenses variables on stock exchange output has been studied using monthly data over the period of 1387-1392. The results indicated that money supply variable has the problem of uncertainty while government expenses don't. The results of MSEGARCH model on money supply variable showed that uncertainty in money supply variable in both high and low volatility has a significant negative impact on stock exchange output. The results of MS-VAR model represent the fact that government expenses have a significant impact on stock exchange index in both upswing and stagnation phases. Accordingly, it is observed that the uncertainty in demand management policies is influencing stock exchange output and these influences are in conflict with each other, so it is suggested that the government managers and policy makers (government expenses) and Central bank (money supply) implement the policies with more coordination in order to decrease the amount of these conflicting impacts.

Decentralization with the concept of transferring or resigning the power and decisions authorities from power centers and associated organizations has political, economical, cultural, and social dimensions. One of the most strategic approaches to decrease the problems of Tehran as a centralized capital city is decentralization. In fact, decentralization not only leads to progress, growth, and social development for other cities of the country, but also enhances the capital administration. In this research we discuss that information technology management can lead to decentralization of Tehran with the minimum challenges and costs. Also, it can help the capital administration. Hence, in this paper, with interdisciplinary approach we first investigate the attractions of Tehran, and then apply an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to rank the attractions. Finally, we highlight the factors which can reduce the number of visits to Tehran by developing information technology. In fact, we propose the use of information technology to provide these attractions available in the other cities. Pairwise comparisons of attribute preferences are determined by experts from public and private organizations. The research findings shows that information technology not only has a significant effect on traffic reduction and optimum administration of Tehran city but also cause a much fare assignment of Tehran facilities to the other cities in the country.

The main purpose of this research was to explore the effect of total quality management’ (TQM) components on the job performance of the employees considering the moderating effect of personal factors in teacher education universities of Iran. This study was conducted using correlational research method. Its statistical population consisted of all the staff employees working in the teacher education universities situated in 32 provinces of Iran (n=2553). Using Kerjesi-Morgan table and random cluster sampling method, a sample of 335 subjects was selected. Data collection was done using four questionnaires including TQM’s questionnaire developed by US Federal Quality Institute, Paterson’s (2000) job performance questionnaire and two self-designed questionnaires on the personal knowledge and skill factors which were checked and confirmed by the respective experts and practitioners in terms of their validity. Estimated using Cronbach’s alpha, the reliability of four questionnaires was found to be 0.97, 0.92, 0.95 and 0.74, respectively. As per the results, there was a statistically significant relationship between the components of customer focus, employee empowerment and teamwork, quality analysis, quality assurance and quality improvement and the job performance with the moderating effect of personal knowledge (P<0.01). Furthermore, considering the skill as the moderator variable, a statistically significant relationship was observed between the top management support and leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, quality assurance and quality improvement and the job performance of the employees in question(P<0.01). ). It is suggested that Teacher Training Universities apply Total Quality Management to improve job performance of their staff, where organizational culture and organizational support play a key role.

A majority of studies around efficiency assessment just estimate it. Indeed, they don’t address the roots of inefficiency of DMUs. These shortcomings could be resulted from silo approaches conducted by researchers. Our research aims address this gap. We propose a two-stage procedure in which first, the efficiency of bancassurance desks are estimated by DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) and then, roots of inefficiency are identified by a survey designed based on enabler section of European Foundation for Quality Management model (EFQM) and conducted among bancassurance desks employees. This study is applied in terms of purpose, and mathematical as well as statistical in terms of data analysis. The population of this study consisted of all bancassurance desks of BANK MELLAT in 2015. After efficient and inefficient branches of bancassurance have been estimated and ranked, in order to identify factors affecting efficiency, a questionnaire designed according with criteria of EFQM. Reliability of questionnaire was tested by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and normal distribution of data was tested by using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The effects of variables (factors) on efficiency were evaluated via regression analysis, then obtained answers were tested for research questions. The results of ranking the impact of factors on the efficiency of bancassurance desks showed that employees, partnerships and resources, products and services, strategy, and leadership are the efficient factors, respectively.

Today, the role of knowledge-based companies has grown as one of the key pillars of the resistance economy. Considering the importance of the ability, expertise, and skills of these companies, consideration of the mental, emotional, and interactive characteristics of the company is an essential precondition for the realization of the goals in the knowledge-based companies. The higher the degree of affiliation of the company to the knowledge workers, the more meaningful the concept of performance management will be. However, so far, in the field of knowledge workers' performance, it has been evaluating the performance of these categories of employees. The prevailing characteristics of performance evaluation systems can be seen as the tangent, downside, downside and low level of integrity and effectiveness of the entire system. The research is composed of two stages. With a library study and a review of the research background, an eight-stage performance management model process was extracted. In the first step, after interviewing 16 experts , using the qualitative method of the analysis, the dimensions (stages) of the performance management process of knowledge workers were analyzed. In the second step, the research was conducted using the Structural-Interpretative Modeling (ISM) approach and the use of expert judgment to design a model for the performance management process of knowledge workers in knowledgeable Based companies.

In today’s competitive world, the ability of acceptance and utilization of ICT in industries is one of the critical success factors in productive industries. The target of this paper is presentation of a model for evaluation of e-manufacturing e-readiness in manufacturing industries. This research was conducted in three phases utilizing mixed research method. In the first phase, Barroso and Sandelowski Meta-Synthesis method containing seven steps was invoked and the primary conceptual model was created. In the second phase, by arranging semi-structured interviews with the experts, a supplementary model was completed. In the third phase in order to quantitatively validate the developed model, various statistical tests and confirmatory factor analysis were employed. Structural equation modeling and path analysis were made use of for checking accuracy of the assumptions as well as testing the proposed model in SmartPLS 3 software. After confirmation of path coefficients and coefficients meaningfulness (t-values), we checked model in terms of various indexes, all of which point to the eminence of the model. The results of applying the above steps were corroboration of the scientific standing of the latter model.

The supply chain management debate is one of the most important discussions in the organizations. But there are many social, economic, and environmental problems encouraging organizations to use sustainable supply chain management. Because the sustainable supply chain is to improve the long-term supply chain performance to address the social, economic, and environmental problems of the traditional supply chain. Given that supply chains have grown rapidly in recent years, only paying attention to economic performance for cost optimization cannot lead to sustainable development in the supply chain, therefore, the impact of various activities involved in the supply chain on social life and Environmental issues that lead to sustainable development should also be considered. In this research, the goal of evaluation and ranking of sustainable supply chain suppliers is using the data envelopment analysis method. First of all, using previous studies in this area, we first identify the important variables of choosing sustainable supply chain suppliers according to the economic, environmental and social measures for the District 6 water and sewage company. Subsequently, according to an interview with experts in this area, we reduced the indexes. Finally, DEA models were ranked by the suppliers of sustainable supply chain water and sewage companies in District 6 of Tehran as a statistical population. Manuscript profile

The first and most important step in managing the production of science in order to improve society's affairs and achieve scientific authority is to understand the exact problems of science production. Identification of problem has many complications. Problems with different interpretations are expressed and not related to the relationship between problems. As a result, many ambiguities and confusion arise. In this research, the Grounded theory is used to extract the problems of science production and the relationships between them, then by using paired comparisons, the relationship between problems is defined more precisely. Also, using the DEMATEL method, the effect size of the problems is apparent The achievement of this research is to identify the network of science production problems by explaining the 22 problems and the relationships between them. The problems of "university-community communication, research quality, research demand, and supply of research" have more interaction with other problems. The problems of "research supply, Brain Drain, quality of research, researcher motivation and research demand" are the most influential and the problems of "organizational management, intellectual property, attraction capacity, university-community communication and foreign trade" are most influential The achievement of this research is a network of general problems of science production, this network must be tailored to specific scientific disciplines and fields. Given the general nature of this research, the network of problems can be used as a guide for identifying the network of science production problems in specific cases (geographic regions or scientific disciplines).

This paper examines the co-ordination of pricing and advertisement decisions in a bi-level supply chain. The game theory approach is used to model the pricing, the size of the economic order, the retail sales and constructive sales decisions. Three game scenarios are designed based on the model of the newspaper sales man: 1) The Stackelberg game where the manufacturer of the leading role and retailer as a follower, 2) the Nash game where the manufacturer and retailer have the same market power and 3) Full cooperation game where the manufacturer and retailer take the best decisions. In cooperative situation, we will impose an increase in the cost of advertising on the chain rather than a decentralized chain, but it leads to increased profits and increased customer satisfaction, which means a win-win decision-making system for the supply chain managers and customers.

To identify the infrastructural categories of employee performance management, a metasynthesis method has been used and by using interpretive-structural modeling, an integrated staff performance management model has been presented. Data analysis was performed with MaxQda and MicMac software. The results show that among integrated management structures, performance, planning and targeting and organizational culture have high penetration power and have low effectiveness. So the variables are independent. The two variables of knowledge management and coaching have high penetration power and dependency, so they are transferable variables. Employee performance management variables and performance analysis and revision are also highly dependent but have little influence, so they are dependent variables. Manuscript profile

Water resources have always been the focal point of the civilizations and urbanities formation. Human societies, at the early age until now, have been initiated around these resources. Therefore the preservation of the water resources for the next generation and correct exploitation, play a crucial role in sustainability and extension of civilizations. Then, most of the experts believe that wars at the 21th century are about clean and pure water resources. In these days, because of excessive increase in environment uncertainty, the traditional planning approaches/methods have lost their usefulness. To confront these uncertainties and at the age of Cold War, scenario planning established as one of the future proofing approaches/methods. In scenario planning, against the traditional planning methods, the future has not seen as the extension of the past, on the contrary, general environmental drivers and forces form the future state of a system. Considering the uncertainities in water resource management,this article has tried to use scenario planning approach for future proofing, finding driving forces that shape the future state of water resources in the Golestan province and then determined the crucial drivers by interview with the experts of strategic management and water resource planning fields. All possible scenarios have been written and at the end, for managing water resources in stable ways, strategies and course of actions have presented. Manuscript profile

The lean approach seeks to eliminate non-value-added activities and knowledge management to create and apply useable and accessible knowledge for value creation. Therefore, knowledge management is predicted to have a significant impact on the leanness of an organization. On the other hand, despite the fact that the service sector has become a major resource in the economies of the countries, there is little research on how to implement a lean approach in this sector. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of knowledge management on lean service. For this purpose, the dimensions of lean service were first extracted using the grounded theory. In the following, a questionnaire was designed to measure the maturity level of organizations’ knowledge management. Then, structural equation modeling was performed to illustrate the impact of knowledge management on lean service of Payam Noor Universities by using Smart PLS 2 software. The statistical population of this study is all employees, professors, managers and assistants of Payam Noor Universities. Using sample random sampling, 200 questionnaires were distributed to the statistical population, 157 of which were completed and analyzed. After making sure that the measurement and structural models of the research are acceptable, the results suggest that KM plays an important role in improving the lean of Payam Noor Universities. In the field of knowledge management, factors such as knowledge management leadership, organization’s processes, people and knowledge managements’ outcomes have greatest impact on lean service at Payam Noor University. Therefore, managers of Payam Noor University can improve the maturity level of the knowledge management of the organization and then improve the lean status of their organization by focusing on these factors. By applying this model, service managers, especially university managers, can provide an appropriate platform for their use in managing these organizations through the link between knowledge management and lean.

Identifying the factors affecting the performance, risk and price of banks is important both from the perspective of shareholders and depositors and from the perspective of active elements in the market. Given that the financial market consists of the two main pillars of the money market and the capital market, the most important task of the capital market is to attract scattered capital and its optimal allocation to units that move both for economic development and to maintain the expected interests of investors. Therefore, banks, as the engine of financing the economy, are of special importance for other enterprises active in the economy, both for the government and for the banks themselves. Accordingly, identifying the factors and indicators affecting performance and profitability, risk management, as well as changes in their stock prices, both in terms of bank management and from a macroeconomic point of view, can guide the economy and governments. On the other hand, given that the main activity of banks is to provide facilities and loans to applicants, proper management of banking challenges and improving the factors affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of banking resources, can move the economic cycle in the right direction. Accordingly, the researcher analyzed the information of 11 banks in the 9-year period from 2009 to 2017 to assess the impact of management ability, political relations and financial crises on performance improvement, risk management and falling prices of banks listed on the stock exchange. Tehran Stock Exchange paid. The results of the analysis of hypotheses in three parts show that first, the ability to manage has no significant effects on any of the performance indicators of banks, including return on assets, return on capital, growth rate of shared income and growth rate of non-shared income, as well as management ability on liquidity risk effects. It is significant, but it does not affect credit, operational and bankruptcy risk. Finally, the ability to manage has not affected the risk of falling stock prices of banks. Second, political relations have only a positive and significant effect on the growth rate of shared income and have no significant effects on return on assets, return on capital and growth rate of non-shared income. Also, political relations have significant effects on liquidity risk and bankruptcy, but on risk. Credit and operations are not affected. Finally, political relations have not affected the risk of falling stock prices of banks. Third, financial crises only have a positive and significant effect on the growth rate of shared income and have no significant effects on return on assets, return on capital and growth rate of non-shared income. Also, financial crises have significant effects on credit risk, liquidity and bankruptcy.

In the design of mobile cellular networks, the option of methods for location management of mobile users and updating this location is very important. In general, numerous methods of location management could be classified in two different categories named static and dynamic. Analysis and studies show that the second category imposes less computational load onto network. One of the algorithms in dynamic case is based on distance which has better performance compared to other algorithms which are based on time or movement. The important point in this technique is the calculation of cellular distance by mobile unit (MS). Because MSs could receive only cell codes or cell identification (cell ID) by BTSs, in this technique the mobile unit should be able to calculate the cellular distance from these codes (ID). In this paper the authors propose a method for cell ID assignment based on real geographic location of BTS in GPS system. The achieved IDs are then used for applying the distance based method for location management. We have also tested the performance of this method by simulation of a real cellular network in city of Yasuj, province of Kohkiluyeh in Iran. Manuscript profile

By the introduction of the concept of Next Generation Networks (NGN), the management of these networks has become an important issue. So, the requirements, goals and the overall architecture of NGN management systems are discussed in this paper. The functional classification of Operation Support Systems (OSS) used in NGN management is also presented. Because of the need of utility networks (such as telephony, data, water, electricity and gas) in the country to OSS, the amount of required capital investment for deployment of Network Management System (NMS) and Customer Care and Billing System (CCBS), as main parts of OSS, are calculated for the next four years in this paper. To reach these estimates, the total number of subscribers in mentioned networks is forecasted for this period and information about per customer capita is also extracted. Two frameworks of, distributed and centralized, are considered. This assessment shows an approximate investment of M606$ and M432$ is needed for NMS and CCBS in distributed scenario, respectively. The same requirement in centralized scenario is M433$ and M322$ for NMS and CCBS, respectively. So, an approximate investment of M1040$ and M750$ is needed for OSS in distributed and centralized scenarios, respectively. Manuscript profile

Faults in MV systems are the cause of almost 70 percent of outages in power system. By using suitable outage management methods, amount of power outages will be reduced in large extent. In Iran, traditionally outage management system was conducted by trial and error methods and relied on operators’ experience. The ever-increasing expansion of distribution networks has made it impossible to use traditional outage management systems. Outage management systems depend upon load type, load sensitivity, network type, amount of accumulation of load and population, and being rural or urban network. In this paper, at first a technical assessment for implementing outage management methods in distribution systems of Iran is carried out. An economic assessment of implementing outage management system in urban distribution systems of Iran with dense population is conducted. For this purpose a sample network of Afsarieh area of Tehran has been chosen. Manuscript profile

In this paper, four scenarios of energy supply for consumers are compared using the proposed objective function and the most appropriate energy methods have been identified. Four energy scenarios are: energy only by the network, the networks and distributed resources, micro-grid systems only and micro grid connected to the upstream network. The objective function for these energy scenarios are calculated and compared for two different load connections, all loads on one feeder and each load on individual feeders. Proposed objective function for each scenario consists of two dimensions, cost and reliability. Cost dimension includes constant cost, current cost and reliability dimension includes non delivered energy for consumers. After conversion into one dimension, the objective function is solved using linear programming. The proposed method in this paper compared with similar methods and these results demonstrate that the method in this paper is more efficient and practical. Manuscript profile

Several regulation schemes such as Rate of Return (ROR) and Price Cap (PC) lack incentives for efficient investment. ROR lead to overinvestment and PC on the other hand lead to underinvestment. Regulator employs various forms of reward/penalty schemes (RPS) to cover inherent weaknesses in PC. Adding RPS allow utilities to make cost effective reliability improvements in response to changes in technology and costs but since this schemes result in consumers purchasing reliability and delivery as a single, optimal level of investment can’t be insured. To solve this problem, in the recent year, the Reliability Insurance Scheme (RIS) has been introduced which through it the reliability and delivery services are unbundled and so the efficient investment is insured. In this paper, firstly, the investment structure under RIS is compared to that of traditional regulatory schemes and, according to this comparison; the advantages of RIS are illustrated. In the second step, under RIS, the effects of free-riding and investment delay on the investment dynamics are evaluated and finally the centralized method for alleviating these effects is proposed.

Energy exchange among the electricity markets is a new issue in modern power systems. This issue, especially in Europe, has been identified as a market coupling. In this paper, a framework for congestion management and clearing of multiple electricity markets, in which the market participants can place their bids simultaneously in different markets across an interconnection, is proposed. In this framework, the markets dispatch the energy and the reserve, independently. A central coordinator entity, then, runs the allocation of transmission capacity among the electricity markets. Three methods for simultaneous clearing of the energy and reserve are also proposed. The possibility of implementation of the proposed methods in multiple markets is discussed. The numerical results for three-area 15-bus and IEEE RTS-96 test systems in a triple-market case are presented, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach as compared with the other approaches.

Because of importance of quickly city evacuation during natural or unnatural happenings, it’s essential to apply an optimized control policy to prevent congestion and stop of vehicles. Existing works for traffic management in critical conditions have paid little attention to artificial intelligence approaches. Therefore, the main goal of authors in this research is offering an optimized and intelligent control policy for city evacuation traffic. This policy uses fuzzy inference system for decision making of each agent and probabilistic automata for optimizing performance of agents as for their preferences during time. To check degree of success of offered control policy, Agent Base Simulation in RStudio and Netlogo environments have been implemented using RNetlogo and frbs packages in R language. Simulation results show traffic load distribution, using maximum capacity of roads and congestion prevention by suggested policy. With regard to communication technologies such as GPS, smart phones, automatic tax payment systems in roads and … that have been developed in recent years, it is also possible to implement suggested critical traffic control policy in real world.

Reactive power management is very important in power systems for the secure transmission of active power, especially when a part of system generation is provided by stochastic sources like wind energy. This paper presents a new algorithm for reactive power management in the presence of wind generators and considering the stochastic nature of these sources and load simultaneously .In this regard, the proposed probabilistic algorithm, minimizes the overall cost function of the system considering the cost of each of the reactive power sources including wind generators. Besides economic issues, the voltage stability margin, having sufficient reactive power reserve in each area of voltage control and considering transmission congestion probability as technical aspects of the planning, have been investigated .Another advantage of this method compared to the previous one, is using of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and its capability in providing reactive power considering the constraints of grid side and rotor side converters. The proposed optimization algorithm uses a multi objective function with different weighting coefficients. This algorithm is applied to minimize total reactive power, cost and losses and maximize voltage stability margin and reactive power reserve, simultaneously, meanwhile the probabilistic nature of wind and load forecasting inaccuracy is considered in this algorithm. The proposed method is implemented on the IEEE 30-bus test system and the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed algorithm in real conditions for PMSMs against internal faults, especially inter-turn faults.

This paper presents a low quiescent current low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) with controlled pass transistor which can work either with on-chip or off-chip output capacitor. The pass transistor of the proposed LDO has lower width in low load condition and has higher width for moderate to heavy load current and the LDO topology transforms between a two-stage structure in low load current and a three-stage one in moderate to high load current. The proposed LDO topology is designed and simulated in HSPICE in a 0.35 µm CMOS process to provide a 2.8 V output voltage for a 3 V input voltage and is capable to deliver a stable output current in the range of 0-100 mA to the load with a 100 pF on-chip output capacitor while its quiescent current is only 7.5 µA. Without using the adaptively-controlled pass transistor, the maximum output variations of the LDO to the 0-100 mA load transient is 540 mV and its settling time is 11 µs, while using this technique decreases the output voltage variations and settling time to 280 mV and 6.5 µs, respectively.

Combination of 3D stacking and network-on-chip (NoC), known as 3D NoC, has several advantages such as reduced propagation delay, chip area and interconnect, and power consumption, and bandwidth increase. Despite these advantages, 3D stacking causes the increased power density per chip area and subsequently increases the chip temperature. Temperature increase causes performance degradation and reliability reduction. Therefore, design of temperature management algorithms is essential for these systems. In this paper, we propose a task migration scheme for thermal management of 3D NoCs. The process of migration destinations for hot spots is an NP-complete problem which can be solved by using heuristic algorithms. To this end, we utilize a simulated annealing method in our algorithm. We consider migration overhead in addition to the temperature of the processing elements in migration destination selection process. Simulation results indicate up to 28 percentage peak temperature reduction, on average, for the benchmark that has the largest number of tasks. The proposed scheme has low migration overhead.

In recent years, there has been an increasing attention in energy exchange among the various countries or areas. One of the methods for energy exchange, with coordinated by the area operators, is participation of producers and consumers in other area markets directly. In this paper, for multi-area power systems that there is a single market in each area (multiple markets structure), a mechanism for power exchange management is proposed. In the mentioned structure, the participation of external bus players in each market is possible. In the designed mechanism, the power exchange management is done by a proposed central coordinator entity. The coordinator performs the management of power exchange in an iterative decision-making process to maintain system security by using a technical approach. The simulation studies for a triple-market case in the standard three areas system (IEEERTS-96) are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism. Manuscript profile

This paper proposes a new algorithm for addressing the congestion problem in the network through generation and demand rescheduling. A demand response market based programming is developed for demand rescheduling by capturing the benefit of retailers. In the proposed algorithm two tasks are implemented by the ISO for controlling network security and spark prices. In the case of any network defect, generator re-dispatching is conducted by the ISO and in the case of any spark price, retailers’ demands in specific buses decrease via some economic signals, sent by the ISO. Having such economic signalsthe retailers then participate in a demand response trade with demand response aggregators (DRAs) to optimize their incomes and next to resubmit their demands to the ISO. A Stackelberg game is employed to capture the interplay among retailers, the leaders, and DRAs, the followers. Retailers choose their strategies, the amount and price of required demand response. Then, DRAs compete based on the retailers’ strategies to maximize their payoffs and to choose their strategies, the demand response sale amount. An IEEE bus test network with 14 buses is considered to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. The paper demonstrates that the proposed method enables to alleviate the congestion problem while the retailers’ incomes increase. Manuscript profile

Due to the growing demand of cellular networks, the need to increase the capacity of these networks has always been a challenge. Heterogeneous cellular networks using small base stations alongside macro base stations are low cost and effective solutions for this problem. However the differences between the various BSs in heterogeneous networks have created new challenges in terms of cell association and interference management compared with the traditional cellular networks. Therefore, the design of new and efficient methods for allocating cells and resources in these networks is an open research topic. This paper addresses the need for an efficient solution to simultaneously allocating cells and subbands in order to prevent interference for all users. The protocol interference model and its modeling methods in cellular networks have been studied. After modeling the system, the problem is formulated as an integer optimization problem. Then, by reformulating the problem and using a one-level dual decomposition, an algorithm with efficient complexity with near-optimal answers is attained. Thereafter, a distributed protocol is presented in which each user and each base station would only require local information for making decisions. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed solution. Manuscript profile

In the recent years, integrations of renewable energy sources as well as plug-in electric vehicles are increased in the AC microgrid. Also, demand side management can be used to manage peak load in order to improve optimal performance of AC microgrid. Therefore, this paper proposes optimal operation of AC microgrid in the presence of plug-in electric vehicles under demand side management. The proposed model describes optimal operation of microgrid including the exchange power with the upstream grid, the production of DG units including wind turbines, battery storage, diesel generators, charging and discharging of electric vehicles and the manner of participation of large industrial consumers and aggregators of small consumers in demand side management that minimize the operation cost of microgrid. The proposed formulation is considered the mathematical model of various energy sources in a microgrid and the AC load flow constraints and the bus voltage and feeder current limitations has been considered.In the proposed model, charge and discharge management of plug-in electric vehicles and demand side management are simultaneously proposed to reduce operation cost of AC microgrid subject to technical and economic constraints. A 33-bus microgrid is used as test system in order to investigate effects of plug-in electric vehicles and demand side management on optimal operation of AC microgrid. The proposed model is formulated via mixed-integer non-linear programming which is solved using CPLEX solver under GAMS optimization software. Manuscript profile

This paper deals with the performance investigation and control of a combined wind-microturbine generation system at off-grid and stand-alone applications. As the novelty, in this paper, the wind turbine does not always work at the MPPT mode, and depending on the available wind power and load demand, two operation modes for the wind turbine are defined: power control mode (MPPT mode) and voltage control mode. At the conditions that the available wind power is less than the load demand, the wind turbine operates at the MPPT mode and microtubule provides the rest of the load power. Once the available wind power goes beyond the load demand, the microturbine can not absorb the additional power, and wind turbine works at load following mode. In this mode, the wind turbine power is less than the available wind power and is identical to the load demand, and the microturbine power is negligible. At the end, by performing simulations at the Matlab-Simulink environment, performance of the study system at different operating conditions is investigated. Manuscript profile

Reliability centered maintenance is a tool for managing the maintenance of deteriorating assets. The basis of this method is the identification of failure mode of equipment, deterioration process, and maintenance scheduling to reduce the risk of failure and maintenance costs. One of the maintenance methods used in reliability-based maintenance is inspection-based maintenance. In inspection-based maintenance, a decision about the type of maintenance is made after an inspection and determination of the deterioration status of equipment. In this paper, a model for annual maintenance scheduling of network equipment is provided. The scheduling problem is formulated as a probabilistic model with binary variables as inspection times and the optimal maintenance strategy is determined. This model is implemented on a transformer and sensitivity analysis is performed to analyze the effect of inspection and outage cost. Manuscript profile

Nowadays, with the increasing share of wind power in electrical energy sector, performance evaluation indices are of great importance. Such indices can lead to optimal utilization of invested capital and effective development of existing wind farms. Despite having some of the required characteristics, the capacity factor based on traditional definition has some limitation. This study aims to extend the concept of capacity factor and presents a comprehensive formulation in order to calculate this index using measured and simulated data for one turbine, all turbines connected to a feeder or a busbar, and all turbines of a wind farm. This formulation also provides a framework for calculating the capacity factor in various time periods (annual, seasonal, monthly, etc.) and different time slots (all hours, special hours, hourly, etc.). As a case study, performance of the installed wind turbines in Manjil wind farm is investigated over an operation period using both measured and simulated data. Performance evaluation of the farm is also carried out with a newer variable speed type. Moreover, capacity factors of the feeders, busbars, and the entire farm are calculated using the turbines simulated data as well as measured data of the feeders over an operation period, and various results of exploring the obtained capacity factors are presented. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of newly presented method for the performance evaluation of wind turbines and wind farms based on extended concept of capacity factor.

Applying a hierarchical routing approach based on clustering technique and mobile sink has a great impact on reducing energy consumption in WSN. Two important issues in designing such an approach are cluster head selection and optimal allocation of mobile sinks to critical regions (i.e., regions those have low remaining energy and thus, high risk of energy hole problem). The limited number of mobile sinks should be utilized due to a high cost. Therefore, allocating the limited number of mobile sinks to the high amount of requests received from the critical regions is categorized as a NP-hard problem. Most of the previous studies address this problem by using heuristic methods which are carried out by sensor nodes. However, this type of solutions cannot be implemented in real WSN due to the sensors’ current technology and their limited processing capability. In other words, these are just theoretical solutions. Consequently, a semi-central genetic algorithm based method using mobile sink and clustering technique is proposed in order to find a trade-off between reduction of computation load on the sensors and increasing accuracy. In our method, lightweight computations are separated from heavyweight computations. While, the former computations are carried out by sensors, the latter are carried out by base station. Following activities are done by the authors: 1) cluster head selection by using effective environmental parameters and defining cost function of cluster membership, 2) mathematical modeling of a region’s chance to achieve mobile sink, and 3) designing a fitness function to evaluate the fitness of each allocation of mobile sinks to the critical regions in genetic algorithm. Furthermore, in our activities minimizing the number and length of messages are focused. In summary, the main distinguishing feature of the proposed method is that it can be implemented in real WSN (due to separation of lightweight computations from heavyweight computations) with respect to early mentioned objectives. The simulation results show the better performance of the proposed method compared to comparison bases. Manuscript profile

The purpose of the current study is to study the readiness of petrochemical companies for organizational learning and to present an appropriate structural model for the establishment of organizational learning and knowledge management in the National Petrochemical Company. To achieve the purpose, the mixed method of qualitative-quantitative was used. To know the current situation, the quantitative survey method/ survey electronically were used in the country with the return of 801 questionnaires from 18 petrochemical companies and the variables of organizational culture, learning styles and dominant trends of learning were examined. For elaboration on the current situation and expectations of the company, the qualitative approach and grounded theory were used and finally the results of qualitative and quantitative parts were mixed. The findings show that the organizational culture of petrochemical companies in the current situation has more skewers towards the hierarchy and to some extent towards the market, and the components of family culture and especially Ad hoc are poor. Also, among the four learning styles, in the company’s current situation the convergent and divergent poles are dominant and also assimilating and adapting styles have less frequency. In terms of existing training programs, the general attitudes can be observed to the personal acquisition of knowledge instead of attending the formal training programs. Also, the qualitative findings and the results of interviews highlighted the changes in three areas; requirements, key processes, learning operations for the establishment of organizational learning.

Implementing Performance Management System (PMS) is seen as a main concern of enterprises. According to research findings, near to 70 per cent of enterprises’ evolutionary programmes, such as: Strategic Planning, Knowledge Management, Performance Management, and Total Quality Management (TQM), have been failed due to a lack of enough motivational factors. Therefore, it is important to identify and trigger motivational factors of enterprises in order to decrease the failure rate of their evolutionary programmes. PMS as one of these evolutional programmes needs to be aggravated by the relevant motivational factors; and therefore, the current study seeks to identify these motivators in Iranian large enterprises. Further to identifying these motivators, the current study explores the interdependencies amongst the motivators in order to weigh their importance as well. Semi-structured interviews and Interactive Management (IM) as two qualitative research methods were used to explore the ideas of PMS experts in six Iranian large enterprises. All of the interviews and IM sessions have been transcribed and coded in three stages, using Strauss’s open coding process. Idea Writing, Nominative Group Technique (NGT), and Interpretive Structural modeling (ISM) were also used in the process of gathering and analyzing data in IM stage of this research. According to the findings of the current study, the most important motivators of Iranian large enterprises to implement PMS in their businesses are: working in a competitive environment, willingness of their leaders to make an evolution in their working processes, making sure of achieving their goals, matching between the enterprises and their employees’ goals, performance evaluation and adjusting their employees compensation system based on this evaluation, and finally, willingness to being recognized by their performance. Further to identifying the most important motivators of Iranian large enterprises in implementing PMS, the final model draw by ISM shows that existing a competitive environment is the most influential factor which affects all of the other motivators as well. Moreover, some of the other motivators, such as: performance-based compensation system, performance evaluation, and being recognized by the performance, are seen to mutually affect and interact with each other. The practical and research implications of the findings of the current study are also highlighted and the limitations of the study are discussed. Manuscript profile

Training and development advisors and experts are working hard today to gain a position for training procedures as equal as other organizational procedures. This effort has turned into a huge challenge for such practitioners. Under such circumstances, return-of-investment can be deemed both as an opportunity (if carried out properly) and a threat (if implemented improperly). Some believe that such an approach can help us integrate training into other mainstream procedures. Anyway, it is believed that formulating and conceptualizing such a strategy is a brave enterprise which needs to be managed reasonably.This paper aims at estimating the return-of-investment rate for project management training programs at Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC). To analyze data, AHP strategy is used through Expert Choice software. The final rate was calculated as %59976. The calculated ROI sounds logically reasonable and indicates that the training program has been effective in essence. Manuscript profile

The purpose of the current study is to identify barriers and challenges of managers coaching success in the petrochemical industry for which mixed methodology is utilized. In the qualitative section, Clarke and Braun’s (2006) thematic analysis was used to extract the indicators of such barriers; it means that by studying current studies in this regard, basic, organizing and pervasive barriers were coded. Ultimately, a 40 – item questionnaire was obtained by using thematic analysis while the third-order factor analysis with partial lease squares approach was utilized to test the questionnaire. The research population consists of 167 petrochemical managers, deputies, and heads of whom 116 were selected by using the Cochran formula and simple random sampling method while the SMART PLS software package was used to analyze data. The third-order factor analysis findings indicated weakness in communicative and problem-solving skills. Weakness in feedback providing skills, improper managerial style, lack of setting pragmatic goals and obliging to them, improper coach’s behavior and vision, coachee’s propensity to commanding style, lack of trust to coaches, lack of coachee’s motivation, improper organizational culture and unawareness, structural weakness and lack of senior managers’ support, improper HR supportive systems and lack of supports by natural culture can be seen as the barriers on managers coaching success in the petrochemical industry. Additionally, findings indicate that barriers related to coach (0.91), intra-organizational barriers (0.81), inter-organizational barriers (0.68) and barriers related to coachee (0.55) have the highest and lowest impact on managers coaching success respectively. The final result is that the barriers to managers coaching success-tested model enjoys proper validity and reliability and can be used in the petrochemical industry. 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

This study attempted to lay the ground for linking human resources data based on the results of the organizational excellence model for about 51 parent and subsidiary companies of the National Iranian Gas Company using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning methods. The goal was to present a model for clustering chief organizational managers based on the companies’ evaluation using the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM)-based excellence model. The unique characteristic of this method is that it is formed based on the actual performance and output of successful organizations, headed by successful managers and leaders. Accordingly, a performance-based excellence model can be achieved in the future. The outcomes of model evaluation for 2017, 2018, and 2019 for 51 companies affiliated with the National Iranian Gas Company were first clustered. Clustering was performed for 3776 pieces of data via AI-based methods, and coding was done in Python. This applied study aimed to design and develop a novel method for discovering the experts and scientifically classifying the organization’s human resources based on credible data. It also aimed to integrate novel scientific domains of AI, including clustering, to pave the ground for human resources research. In the applied dimension, the results were used in organizational planning and decision-making to generate a tool whereby the future managerial performance of the organization and staff can be predicted based on appropriate human resources data. Finally, a ranking is presented based on the competency gap by using Fisher discriminant ratio (FDR). Manuscript profile

The aim of the present research was to optimize the competencies of strategic managers in state organizations. This applied research was conducted quantitatively to collect the data. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to determine the level of consensus among respondents on the priority of the proposed indicators for the competency of strategic managers. The relationship between the components of the metaheuristic model was determined by 122 senior and middle managers who were selected by random stratified sampling from the studied organizations: Tehran Governor's Office, Administrative and Recruitment Affairs Organization, Supreme Audit Court, Welfare Organization, Iran Health Insurance Organization (IHIO). Data were analyzed using the metaheuristic approach method based on genetic algorithm and decision tree, using the WEKA and RAPIDMINER software programs. Based on the results of the Shannon’s method, ethics earned the highest priority. Furthermore, 11 out of the 16 extracted factors affecting competency were selected as the optimal characteristics of strategic managers in state organizations using metaheuristic algorithms. These were knowledge competencies, skill competencies, basic competencies, psychological competencies, ethics, general competencies, interactions and communications, resource management, strategic thinking, transformism, and leadership. The findings also show that the most effective factors must be examined to identify and evaluate the competencies of strategic managers in state organizations. Manuscript profile

Optimum healing of a cutaneous wound involves a cascade of biologic cellular and molecular processes. When the normal biological process fails for any reason, healing process can cease resulting in chronic wounds. In Addition, the body cannot repair some extensive wounds without problem. These Issues surrounding wound healing as well as increased medical healthcare in this field, developed novel wound therapies. Regardless of the type of these specific advanced wound care methods, the ideal goal would be to regenerate tissues such that both the structural and functional properties of the wounded tissue are restored to the levels before injury. Tissue engineering and stem cells may be the solution. A range of cell based therapies and tissue engineered scaffolds have begun to cross the rift from bench to bedside. These therapies have been heralded as a promising means by which to surpass current limitations in wound management. The wide differentiation potential of stem cells allows for the possibility of regenerating lost or damaged skin, while their ability to immunomodulate the wound bed from afar suggests that their clinical applications need not be restricted to direct tissue formation. The data suggests that the appropriate application of stem cells and scaffolds can accelerate wound healing. The clinical utility of stem cells and tissue engineering has been demonstrated across dozens of clinical trials in wound therapy. Manuscript profile

Process management in the organization requires the creation of process insights throughout the organization. In this regard, organizations need a comprehensive method to evaluate the implementation of organizational processes that determine the factors affecting the implementation of organizational programs. For this purpose, it is a responsive way for organizations that, in addition to creating awareness of the effective factors, provide a roadmap to improve the realization of the organization's plans and visions. In the present article, to facilitate the management of processes in the East Azerbaijan Province Gas Co., a Hybrid Process Maturity Model has been developed. This model has been presented and implemented with a combined approach of selected maturity models, considering the limitations of maturity models, which makes the models not comprehensive enough. The capability of the proposed model framework, unlike other models, is that the above model can be evaluated in detail. In this regard, first, the key processes of the company have been identified. Then by collecting the required information on how to implement the processes, the maturity levels of the key processes of the organization have been evaluated according to the proposed model and current level, the desired level of maturity is set. Implementing solutions also have been proposed to improve the processes. According to the collected information, 16 of the 26 Key Processes of the East Azerbaijan Gas Co. are at level zero or incomplete process implementation, eight processes are at level one or planned and two processes are at level two or controlled.

Several problems have been produced in the process of philosophy’s interaction with religious theorems. One of the new discussions that has attracted great attention during the last decades pertains to purgatorial and otherworldly perfection of the souls. On the one hand, based on the principles and explicit theories of most philosophers and Mullā Ṣadrā’s words, the perfection of the soul after its separation from the elemental body is impossible. On the other hand, some sentences in Qur’anic verses and Islamic traditions refer to the perfection of the soul in metaphysical worlds. Such differences have persuaded researchers and thinkers to find some solutions. Following an analytic-inferential method, this paper seeks to provide an answer to the question of whether the soul is subject to any change and motion after its separation from the body based on both common philosophical principles and Mullā Ṣadrā’s gnostic approach. The findings of this study indicate that, based on philosophers’ principles, changes in the states of souls after death is an acceptable view of the type of sequence of forms and manifestation of developed habits and forms in the world of nature. Moreover, according to a gnostic reading of the Transcendent Philosophy, changes in metaphysical worlds are certain and of the same type of change in the material world. However, in this approach change and motion are not used in their common philosophical senses and are, rather, used in the sense of departure from undifferentiation to differentiation and manifestation. In this way, the authors provide a rational explanation of change and motion in this paper relying on philosophical principles and through presenting a new definition of motion. Manuscript profile

One of the most thought-provoking issues in modern Western and traditional thought is the issue of teleology in art. Explaining the perception and manifestation of meaning in traditional architectural spaces requires a detailed analysis in the field of modern art and traditional art teleology. The present study seeks to find a conceptual model to explain the perception and manifestation of meaning in architectural spaces by reflecting on the concept of teleology in the philosophical ideas of Kant and Coomaraswamy. This study is interdisciplinary, and by analytical approach, Kant and Coomaraswamy's views on the teleology of modern and traditional art have been explored. Then, the views of these two thinkers have been put together in the form of two types of outward and inward purposes to obtain a conceptual model based on it; Which provides the possibility of describing the perception and manifestation of meaning in traditional art and architecture. Based on this conceptual model, the purpose of this study is to investigate the purposefulness position in Western modern art and traditional Eastern art, to explain how meaning is perceived and manifested in architectural spaces. The main question of this research is how the concept of purpose is related to concepts of perception and manifestation of meaning in architectural spaces? Conclusion: In traditional architecture, people can perceive meaning by manifesting meaning in design and color. Accordingly, the main purpose is the perception unity and manifestation of meaning (aesthetic and glorious attributes) in architectural spaces. By manifesting multiple aesthetic traits with a single meaning in the architectural space, it is possible to perceive the meanings and glorious traits being the cause of violence in the observer.

Network-on-chip provides an efficient communication platform for Systems-on-chip. The static power consumption is an important issue in these networks. Switching the power supply on virtual channels during idle time is a common method for reducing the network power consumption. The traffic load at the network level and non-continuous idle period of virtual channel have caused the sources to be switched on and off continuously, which leads to increase in power consumption and other overheads. This will be more important, in partially connected 3D chip networks in which a limited number of vertical connections has been used. In this paper, a routing algorithm is proposed who employs an appropriate policy for packet distribution, and reduces the load distribution in the network and creates a continuous idle time for the resources, result in suitable power management in the network. In this routing scheme the network is divided to north and south region and some restriction applied in usage of elevators in each region and try to increase the utilization of the used resources as well as the ideal time of low traffic paths. The simulation results, derived by BookSim, show the proposed method improve the network power consumption by 18% to 30% comparing previous algorithms, and the network delay has been reduced by 32%.

In this paper, a new energy management strategy is presented by using shunt active power filter (SAPF) in a multi-agent structure. This strategy is applied to a micro-grid connected to the grid and includes the problem of harmonic compensation. By examining the advantages and disadvantages of shunt active power filters and passive filters, as well as their efficiency in the multi-agent structure for power micro-grids, the reason for using shunt active power filters in the proposed method has been determined. Also, the performance of these filters for compensating current harmonics has been compared by examining the FFT results. In the used micro-grid, wind turbine generator and solar cell generator are used as renewable energy sources (RES) and two fuel cells are used to compensate for sudden and unplanned changes in the production power of these two generators. The energy management unit manages the active and inactive state of the two fuel cells according to the production power and consumption power of the micro-grid in such a way that the power exchanged between the micro-grid and the main grid is limited within an acceptable range. The simulation results show that the proposed method using local continuous controllers (in each agent) and central discrete controller (energy management system) has been able to perform well and while providing the required power of the micro-grid, at the same time, it performs the current harmonics compensation issue correctly.

The readiness of organizations to establish management systems is an important issue. The purpose of this study is to provide a model for organizational readiness to accept the model of excellence in the Azad University. In this study, a combined (qualitative and quantitative) sequential exploratory method was used. The method used in the qualitative part of the research is foundation data theory. In the present study, in order to collect data in the qualitative part, the interview tool was used and in the quantitative part, a questionnaire was used. The statistical population of the study includes professors of management in the free universities of Guilan province. In the qualitative section, in order to conduct interviews, the opinions of 10 professors related to the research topic and in the quantitative section, in order to complete the questionnaires, the opinions of 150 people were used. In order to analyze the data obtained from the interviews, the coding method was used in MAXQDA software and in order to discover the relationship between the identified factors, the interpretive structural modeling method was used in MICMAC software. Data analysis from semi-structured interviews consisted of 180 open source code in the form of nine classification concepts and in four main categories including managerial and attitudinal-behavioral factors (as link variables), external factors (as independent variables), and the establishment of the excellence model. (As dependent variables) were divided. Data analysis of the quantitative part of the research was also performed using the partial least squares method in smartPLS software. The results of the quantitative part of the research also showed that all three factors include managerial factors (creating an atmosphere conducive to change, planning and organizing, learning, commitment), attitude-behavioral factors (perceived usefulness and perceived ease) and external factors (policies and rules). Upstream, credits, and culture) have a significant role on the readiness of the free university in implementing the model of excellence, and among these, managerial factors have played the most effective role. Also, the attitude-behavioral factors of the performers have an effective role on the readiness of the university to establish a model of excellence. On the other hand, external factors, both directly and indirectly and through managerial factors and attitudinal-behavioral factors have an effective role in the readiness of the Azad University to establish a model of excellence, so that this factor is the main motivator of Azad University affiliates to establish a model of excellence. . Findings show that the readiness of universities to establish models of excellence depends to a large extent on the performance of its managers. Highly committed managers can create a positive atmosphere in the university for the acceptance and implementation of those models with proper planning, control and supervision, and thus address many internal problems such as attitudes and behavioral factors of members of the organization, which mainly manifest themselves in the face of change.

Considering the increasing movement of the country's organizations towards the full benefit of information systems, it is very important to identify the factors affecting the strengthening of these systems to improve the quality of service delivery. Therefore, this research has been carried out with the aim of investigating the effective factors on strengthening the infrastructure of information systems. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-exploratory in nature. The research community is the government organizations of the country, and 10 people were selected to form the expert panel from among the experts who have the qualifications. Among the employees, 250 people were selected as a statistical sample by simple random sampling. The research method is a combination of multi-criteria decision-making methods (hierarchical analysis process), structural equations and fuzzy inference system. After extracting the dimensions and factors from the literature and the background of the research, the ranking of the effective factors in the form of five dimensions and 15 components was done using the multi-criteria decision making method. The results showed that the legal infrastructure has established the highest correlation with the infrastructure of information systems. Also, among the dimensions, the technological infrastructure is the most important. The results of fuzzy inference also showed that the most favorable state for information subsystems is 0.698 according to the available facilities, and the optimal combination for this state is achieved when structural factors are 0.724, organizational factors are 0.58, governance factors are 0.569, social factors are 0.707, and educational factors are 0.468. Therefore, in order to strengthen the infrastructure of the country's information systems, it is suggested that the officials focus on strengthening and developing structures and supporting technological innovations in the first step.

In this paper, it will be argued that, contrary to the prevailing practice in Iran from the mid-1990s to the present, Michel Foucault's Discourse Analysis (FDA) cannot be used separatelyas a mere method in various fields of humanities andwithout considering its philosophical-ideological bases. FDA stems from his particular ideological perspective of the course of modern times from the renaissance to the end of the enlightenment (14th to the 18th century) and derives from particular philosophical and ontological sources that Foucault deeply believed them. In other words, there is an organic unity between FDA, as a method, and its philosophical content, and the fact that Foucault turned to Discourse Analysis and adopted it as a seemingly new method in analyzing the history of the new age was notarbitrary but a deliberate choice. In fact, it came from his own philosophical logic; alogic that is consistent with G. W. F. Hegelian historicism, which Foucault ostensibly opposed.Hegelianism, with its deterministic logic, develops an organic view of history that is consistent with Foucault's structural and institutional view of power. . On the other hand, Hegelian historicism does not place importance on the role of humans in the formation of historical events, and this feature is also fully compatible with Foucault's theory of the subject's death.Thus, one can use Foucault's discourse analysis only as a method of analyzing various subjects if one firmly believes in its ideological foundations, such as the death of man.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and body management in women. The present study was descriptive and correlational. The study's statistical population consisted of all women in Shiraz in 2021. Among them, 300 women were selected from the statistical population by available sampling method as the sample size. Data were collected using Self-Compassion Questionnaire (Reiss, Puminer, Neff, and Wanguchta (2011) (SCS-SF)) and Online Object Awareness Questionnaire (McKinley and Hyde (2001)). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and SPSS statistical software. Findings from Pearson correlation analysis, related to examining the significant relationship between self-compassion and changes in body management in women, showed a significant negative relationship between the components, including self-kindness, self-judgment, human sharing, isolation, mindfulness, extreme assimilation, and changes in body management. The present study results emphasize the role and importance of self-compassion in dealing with behaviors related to body management. Cultivating a compassionate mind can control the negative behavioral consequences associated with maladaptive body management, which can have many practical implications for women.

The paper is an update to the current status of laser drilling technique – the first fundamental change to rotary drilling. We begin with a brief history of already experiment which performed by another institutes. Next, we will discuss about effective parameters on reduce specific energy thereupon increase rate of penetration. Stress has been put on the effect of laser drilling on rate of penetration, drilling costs, and waste management that we discuss about these things in this research. Finally, experiments show that this advanced laser drilling technique can be efficient and economically for exchange with current rotary drilling. Laser drilling is found to be more efficient way to drill and perforate wells through hard rock formations encountered at greater depth. One of the major advantages of laser drilling is its potential to reduce drilling time. Laser cut drilling time reduced by not contacting the rock, eliminating the need to stop and replace a bit.

Due to subsurface heterogeneity and existing vagueness in geophysical interpretation, identifying and interpretation of facies in wellbores is always prone to uncertainty and risk. Nowadays several methods have developed for quantitative facies interpretation. These methods are generally divided into deterministic and stochastic categories. Deterministic methods, in spite of their simple modeling procedure, cannot expose the amount of error or accuracy of the model. On the other hand, stochastic methods, in addition to quantifying the error of the model, can provide the probability of the model’s accuracy in each point of the reservoir. The Bayesian approach is one of the stochastic methods that use conditional probabilities for modeling. This approach, as well as probabilistic modeling of hydrocarbon facies, quantitatively computes the effect of additional data in decreasing the error of the classification. Information entropy theory, by quantifying the intrinsic uncertainty in each model input parameter, can easily provide the selection of valuable parameters. The present study was carried out on one of the wells of Mansuri oil field, south of Iran. After generation of training data by using rock physics techniques and Gassmann’s relation, the value of each input parameter was identified by entropy analysis. Then, by use of Bayesian analysis and valuable parameters, oil facies classification and discrimination was implemented. The five optimum parameters were elastic impedance, compressional wave velocity, shear wave velocity, density and porosity .The amount of error in this method is approximated to be 11 percent. This investigation also showed that gamma ray parameter does not have a drastic positive effect on identification and discrimination procedure of oil facies, which has a good agreement with the results of entropy analysis .

The damages caused by natural disasters and the type of reaction of societies to them are reflected in various forms in the past written works. This study aims to find out how and how much attention has been paid to these damages and related reactions to manage them in Persian texts up to the eighth century.This research is a descriptiveanalytical study of qualitative content analysis with an integrated approach. Among the common hazards, four natural hazards were considered: earthquake, flood, drought and snow and severe cold. From selected Persian texts, by purposive sampling, a total of 93 poetic samples and 52 prose samples were selected and reviewed.According to the research findings, economic damage is the most damage caused by natural disasters mentioned in selected Persian texts (45%). Also, the most attention has been paid to response phase in these texts (52%).It seems that our society's response-oriented approach to natural disasters is rooted in a historical mentality that is reflected in Persian texts up to the eighth century. A methodical and deep understanding of this historical mentality can help theorists in a deeper understanding of the current society behaviors against the natural disasters and the desired change of those behaviors.

Robotic process automation is an emerging technology, which can be used to automate repetitive tasks with large but low volume. Automation space consists of providers of construction, operation and transfer contracts, consulting, business process automation and cloud robotics process automation and markets. Automation refers to the use of technology to perform various tasks with minimal human intervention, so that the automation of the robotic process, intelligent process and various operations of the artificial intelligence business are its main components. In the meantime, the Internet of Things is one of the most up-to-date technologies in the new age of information and communication, which has a concept very close to the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is a term used to describe physical objects around the world using their digital communication, while the Internet is all about data sets, considering people and processes. The reason for paying attention to the automation of the robotic process is the continuous expansion of the artificial intelligence market due to the widespread use of this technology in most important fields, especially in the components of the Internet. To make the most of robotic process automation, multiple discrete automations as well as artificial intelligence technologies can be used. With this approach, the robotic automation process can be considered as the connection point of everything Internet to software artificial intelligence projects. Therefore, robotic process automation, which aims to improve business processes, is proposed as an Internet connection point for everything with artificial intelligence projects. Manuscript profile

There is no doubt that the Imams (AS) was perfect human beings and they were responsible for guiding other human beings. The guidance of human beings by the infallibles (AS) requires appropriate tools such as the use of logical arguments and reasoning. In addition to having human ability and observing the normal prerequisites in communication, the Infallibles (AS) has made arguments. It is obtained from the statements of the Infallibles (AS) in the context of human guidance that they have used reasoning; the existing arguments by the Infallibles (AS) indicate the acceptance of the prerequisites of the argument. There is no doubt that the Imams (AS) was perfect human beings and they were responsible for guiding other human beings. The evolved movement in man, which has given him intellect and the power of evidence by the Creator, as well as the inadequacy of man's special knowledge in the realization of this movement, has documented and exploited the infallibles according to the laws of logic. In addition to introducing human epistemological sources (sense and intellect) in this study, human possession of the power of reason and thought and also insufficient knowledge of this power has been examined due to limitations and the occurrence of mistakes in it. Accordingly, the Infallible Prophet (AS) has accepted the authority of human thought and does not consider it complete and flawless, and on the other hand, he does not consider it completely wrong. Therefore, the Infallible Prophet (AS) has used rational reasoning to guide and induce his message to human beings. Finally, the realization of human guidance and perfection is not possible without the help of divine guides, Infallible (AS) according to this context, has used argument and reasoning in pursuing his guiding goals in dealing with human beings according to the intellect.

Quality represents a philosophy, a combination of methods and practices, as well as a commitment to excellence, and has been considered in theoretical research as an important driver of sustainable competitive advantage. The concept of quality has evolved over time, making it a good time to reflect on the philosophy of quality. The concepts of quality management today are derived from human findings that have been experienced, evolved, and remembered throughout history. Therefore, the use of archetypes can lead to a better understanding of direct data from psychological experience and a better grasp of the soft and hard aspects of quality management. For this purpose, the qualitative method of introspection was used to analyze the archetypes related to these two dominant approaches. Twelve academic experts were interviewed about the concept of soft quality management, and a local model for soft quality management was presented. To measure the model, the quantitative method of path analysis was employed, and a questionnaire was developed based on the extracted components. This questionnaire was provided to the managers of 64 active economic units in Guilan province. The components extracted from library resources were analyzed, and three “normative” variables (expressing interpretations and explaining systems of common meanings among groups), “relational” variables (describing human relations within and outside the organization), and “structural” variables (determining patterns within the organization) were explained. According to experts, causal relationships between variables were defined and evaluated. The results of this study provide management guidelines and operational strategies in accordance with the analyzed dimensions of soft quality management. Manuscript profile

Moral autonomy means "self-government" and "self-rule". This paper presents the analysis and reasoning in search of answers to the following questions: first, what conditions does moral autonomy require? Second, does moral autonomy possess the requirements necessary for being considered as an aim of education? The theoretical framework of this study is based on Kant’s and Peters’ views that have served the theoretical sources and bases of the survey questions. The first question has been answered by referring to Kant’s ideas, whereas the answer to the second question has been derived from Peters’ sources. Kant believes that reason and free will are the fundamental bases for moral autonomy. On the other hand, Peters argues that the concept of "education" and the "educated person" provide the criteria and necessary conditions for moral autonomy. Hence, it was concluded that by recourse to conceptual analysis, and here, the analysis of the concepts of "education" and "educated person", we are able to demonstrate that moral autonomy should be one of the main aims of education because moral education implies the concepts of both education and educated person. The paradoxes between the concept of "autonomy” and “educational authority”, between "reason and habits" and "authenticity of choice and educational content" are also discussed. Manuscript profile

The statistical population of the study comprised of managers, staff, and customers of four-star and five-star hotels in Mashhad. Moreover, the statistical sample size of the research at the organization level consisted of thirty-four, one-hundred and forty, two-hundred and forty managers, staff, and customers at organizational, staff, and customer levels, respectively. On the other hand, Sam’s 12-item questionnaire (2008) and the 17-item questionnaire developed by Al-Rafiei et al. (2013) were used to measure the human resources management activities and the staff’s satisfaction and loyalty, respectively, whose validity and reliability was tested using the Content validity method and Cronbach's alpha, respectively. Finally, HLM 7.02 and the SPSS software were used to analyse the collected data. The results proved the positive influence of human resources management activities on the staff’s satisfaction and loyalty, and in turn, on the satisfaction and loyalty of the customers. Therefore, it could be argued that hotel managers can increase the loyalty of their customers by emphasizing human resource management activities and improving their staff’s satisfaction and loyalty, which would increase the profitability of hotels in the long term by reducing marketing costs.

Constituting half of society, women play a significant role in advancing the goals of different countries in this new social age. On the other hand, as organizations, especially the service-providing ones, are potentially subject to errors, they need to provide an appropriate environment for treating possible errors. Therefore, this applied survey study sought to investigate the effect of an error treatment atmosphere on the willingness to quit one’s job, considering learning behavior as the mediating factor. The statistical population of the study comprised female staff of four and five-star hotels in Mashhad, out of whom 390 people were selected as participants. Moreover, the required data were collected through a questionnaire, whose form and content validity were evaluated and verified by management experts and its construct validity was measured and confirmed using the confirmatory factor analysis in Amos software. Also, the reliability of different constructs of the questionnaire was confirmed, as the reported Cronbach's alpha coefficient was over 0.7. The findings of the study indicated the positive influence of error management and perceived forgiveness atmosphere on the staff’s learning behavior, with their effect rate being 0.48 and 0.57, respectively. On the other hand, error management atmosphere, perceived forgiveness atmosphere, and learning behavior had a significant influence on reducing the willingness of the staff to quit their jobs, with their effect rates being -0.34, -0.20, and -0.28, respectively. Moreover, the mediating role of the learning behavior in the causal relationships between the error management atmosphere and the willingness to quit one’s job, and between the perceived forgiveness atmosphere and such a willingness was confirmed, with the former and latter’s effect rate being -0.13 and -0.16, respectively.

The present paper investigates the necessity of the development of social life in the view of Mullā Ṣadrā and Ibn Miskawayh in the domain of religion’s response to human needs following a comparative approach. Mullā Ṣadrā believes that the necessity of fulfilling human needs warrants the existence of law and Shar‘ as well as an individual as a prophet. Following a philosophical approach, he explains that the concept of human species is realized in their “collective identity” outside their mind and in their social schematism. Ibn Miskawayh’s standpoint, which is worth more deliberation and is perhaps unique, indicates that man’s main need for collective life is due to the necessity of responding to their intrinsic need for mutual “love and affection”, while he refers to satisfying material needs at a later level. In his view, love provides the basis for life and formation of human collective society. Mullā Ṣadrā’s view enjoys a rational and philosophical essence, whereas Ibn Miskawayh’s explanation is merely based on the presence of love and affection among human beings. However, both thinkers acknowledge that the revealed religious theorems can respond to all human worldly and other-worldly needs. Nevertheless, none of them directly and clearly emphasizes the necessity of the purification of the soul for the prophet and the divine perfect Man. Manuscript profile

Objective (s): Place and its status in Islamic art architecture have always been discussed by Muslim Philosophers and thinkers. The perception of place identity has affected the structuring of places and the ideal Islamic architecture paving the way for the recognition, analysis and evaluation. Thus, this paper examines the concept of place and specifics like character, identity and sense of place. It also compares them with Islamic architecture so as to reach a general mental picture of Islamic place and home. It can be said that Islam recognizes identity for all places and evaluates places in accordance with the extent of Divine manifestations and qualities. In this way, places will have different levels of Islamic identity. Metod: The method used for this research was descriptive-analytical. Results: The concept of accommodation in Islam encompasses its two aspects, namely material and spiritual. The material aspect of accommodation also contains its spiritual concept and building accommodation for Muslims in its broad sense is a ritual issue. In this paper, the ideal Islamic accommodation in different spheres has been described and the required criteria have been pointed out. Manuscript profile

Crises are an integral part of the international system. Even during the Cold War that was expected there was a peaceful world, we witnessed many crises. Therefore, crisis management aiming at preventing the intensification and expansion of crises has taken a significant importance. When crises occur, some actions are taken by effective actors including states and organizations such as NATO. NATO has tried to define crisis management functions for itself to maintain it survival. Its cooperation with the Security Council in accordance with the chapter eight of the Charter and its role in various crises were in the same direction. However, its failure to play a role in the Syrian crisis raises the question that which factors influence it in playing a role in the crises. In response to this question, the author makes the hypothesis that the role of NATO in crisis has been affected by past experience and the policies of great power. The findings of this research indicates that limited achievements, the costs of previous interventions, the requirement to obtain a permit from the UN Security Council for intervention and obstacles in its way have led that NATO adopts a policy of non-intervention in this crisis and don't play an active role in crisis management.

Political lifestyle refers to the particular method of encountering the most important duties of the realm of political life that develops in order to achieve political purposes. Given the important role of ontological principles in constructive approaches to lifestyle, their analysis in the political lifestyle of Imām Khomeinī, as an individual with his own style, seems necessary. Accordingly, this paper is intended to investigate the effects of the principles of the Transcendent Philosophy in relation to the principiality of existence, goodness of existence, unity of being and plurality in its manifestation, simplicity of existence, and the place of perfect Man in the levels of being based on Imām Khomeinī’s political lifestyle. An analytic library study of the publications on Imām Khomeinī’s life and character indicates that commitment to the principles of Sadrian philosophy played a significant role in the development and consolidation of his political lifestyle. Moreover, given the gradation at three levels of the “political lifestyle of the perfect Man”, “the political lifestyle of the divine leaders influenced by the perfect Man”, “the lifestyle of people who follow the political life of divine leaders”, Imām Khomeinī, as a figure believing in the truth of the perfect Man, managed to have the support and trust of a huge number of people through insisting on providing for the conditions required for people’s access to the perfect Man’s lifestyle in order to attain a new style of transcendent political life.

The interaction between humans and the environment is one of the topics that is emphasized by governments and people today. Examining this interaction by religions, especially Islam, is one of the issues that can be very important for the followers of this heavenly religion. The important point of Islam's approach is that this religion considers nature to have a perfect system as the noblest and best possible system that is under the rule of God and there is no defect or evil in it. The researchers in this article intend to find an answer to the question of what kind of interaction exists between humans and the environment from the Islamic point of view and should be done using the library method. The answer that has been given to this question is that according to the doctrine of Nizam Ahsan, which Islam emphasizes a lot, man does not have the right to destroy the natural course of the environment, and if he tries to change the environment at will, it will cause evil effects in It will be the whole system. Because in Ahsan's system, man is a part of the system and a part of its parts, and you have no right to consider what is good for him as good and what is not good for him as evil..

Identity is one of the most important key terms in humanities in the contemporary world. Similar to other theoretical concepts, it originates in metaphysical principles and cannot go beyond them. A study of the principles of the Transcendent Philosophy with reference to the attention to the truth of existence and the related principles reveals that Man’s true identity is the same as its status, which is simple and, while enjoying stability in character, is gradual and fluid. Accordingly, in the course of its motion, the human identity experiences different changes and attains several scientific and practical perfections that result in different effects and levels with each having its own specific attributes and names. This perception of Man is not only consistent with the realities of human life and Iranian-Islamic culture but also capable of resolving many of the concerns and challenges in modern sciences in relation to anthropology and identity crisis. The present paper examines the ontological principles of the Transcendent Philosophy in relation to Man’s identity and its effects.In the course of its movement, this existence experiences various changes and achieves many scientific and practical perfections, which causes it to have various effects and degrees in such a way that various attributes and characteristics are obtained from each of its stages. This recognition of human beings is not only compatible with the realities of human life and Iranian-Islamic culture, but also eliminates many concerns and challenges of new sciences in the field of anthropology and identity crisis. This article points to the ontological foundations of transcendental wisdom and its relationship with human identity and examines its results. Manuscript profile

This research has been conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of ethical leadership dimensions on the organizational commitment of employees in the General Post Office of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad provinces and the post office of Yasuj city. The research method is descriptive and correlational, and the library method was used to develop the theoretical framework of the research. The statistical population of this research is the employees of the General Post Office of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad provinces and the postal districts of Yasuja, which number 430 people. The sample size of 203 people was determined, and 191 questionnaires were analyzed among the distributed questionnaires. In this research, Allen and Mayer's standard organizational commitment questionnaire and researcher-made moral leadership questionnaire were used. The reliability of the ethical leadership questionnaire was calculated as 0.811 and its content validity was also confirmed. The results of the descriptive analysis of the data state that the organizational commitment index and its dimensions, as well as the ethical leadership index and its dimensions among the employees of the General Post Office of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad provinces and the 4 post districts of Yasuj city are above average. The results of the inferential analysis and the test of research hypotheses state that there is a direct and meaningful relationship between ethical leadership (ethical person dimension, ethical manager dimension) and organizational commitment (emotional and normative). Although the mentioned correlations are not strong, the results of the regression models predict well the amount of organizational commitment changes (emotional and normative) by the ethical leadership variable (ethical person dimension, ethical manager dimension). Although there was no relationship between ethical leadership (the ethical person dimension, the ethical manager dimension) and organizational commitment (continuous), the results of the present research have a good overlap with the results of other researches in the field of ethical leadership and the effectiveness of organizational commitment. The effect of contextual variables including gender, education, age, history of activity and field of activity on the attitude towards ethical leadership and organizational commitment indicators was not confirmed.

This research was conducted to study the effect of strategic choices and management control systems on organizational performance in small and medium-sized companies in Iran. In this article, contingency theory is used as the theoretical framework of the research. This is a quantitative study in terms of research type. The survey method has been used as a research strategy and data collection method. The main tool of data collection in the research is a standard questionnaire, which is adapted based on the questionnaire used in the research of Junkira et al. (2018). Smart pls software was used for data analysis. The results of the research show that more competitive forces cause the formation of the strategy chosen by organizations, however, contrary to what the theoretical foundations predict, those companies that operate in more competitive environments choose a cost leadership strategy instead of choosing a differentiation strategy. . The design and use of management control systems is influenced by the strategy chosen by the company. In addition, the use of contemporary management methods is associated with differentiation strategy. The choice of strategy and management control systems in the organization has a significant positive effect on organizational performance. In addition, those companies that combine the differentiation strategy with contemporary management practices perform better than the other companies studied. Manuscript profile

Knowledge management is the process of creating, sharing, using and managing knowledge of an organization. A knowledge management system is known as a knowledge base and is a comprehensive system that can provide many methods for providing documentation. The knowledge management system is a platform that covers the organization's collective knowledge and creates a centralized repository for storing and accessing the organization's activities. organizations do this through a tool or software specifically designed for knowledge management. Knowledge management systems refer to a class of information systems applied to organizational knowledge management and have been developed to support and promote organizational processes of creating, storing, retrieving, transferring and applying knowledge, in the company's organizational workplace. Various categories of knowledge management systems have been presented in articles. In this article, the main principles of knowledge management have been extracted with a new approach. For this purpose, first the main life cycle activities have been identified. Then, by reviewing conventional knowledge management systems and brainstorming sessions, the main services have been identified. Finally by applying clustering on the extracted services based on the k-means algorithm, the services have been clustered and the main systems have been extracted. In order to evaluate the quality of extraction systems, we have benefited experts, and experts in the field of knowledge management evaluated the quality of extraction systems at an optimal level. It is expected that by implementing these systems in different industries, it will be possible to help spread knowledge management in the industry as much as possible. Manuscript profile

Identifying the factors affecting the performance, risk and price of banks is important both from the perspective of shareholders and depositors and from the perspective of active elements in the market. Given that the financial market consists of the two main pillars of the money market and the capital market, the most important task of the capital market is to attract scattered capital and its optimal allocation to units that move both for economic development and to maintain the expected interests of investors. Therefore, banks, as the engine of financing the economy, are of special importance for other enterprises active in the economy, both for the government and for the banks themselves. Accordingly, identifying the factors and indicators affecting performance and profitability, risk management, as well as changes in their stock prices, both in terms of bank management and from a macroeconomic point of view, can guide the economy and governments. On the other hand, given that the main activity of banks is to provide facilities and loans to applicants, proper management of banking challenges and improving the factors affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of banking resources, can move the economic cycle in the right direction. Accordingly, the researcher analyzed the information of 11 banks in the 9-year period from 2009 to 2017 to assess the impact of management ability, political relations and financial crises on performance improvement, risk management and falling prices of banks listed on the stock exchange. Tehran Stock Exchange paid. The results of the analysis of hypotheses in three parts show that first, the ability to manage has no significant effects on any of the performance indicators of banks, including return on assets, return on capital, growth rate of shared income and growth rate of non-shared income, as well as management ability on liquidity risk effects. It is significant, but it does not affect credit, operational and bankruptcy risk. Finally, the ability to manage has not affected the risk of falling stock prices of banks. Second, political relations have only a positive and significant effect on the growth rate of shared income and have no significant effects on return on assets, return on capital and growth rate of non-shared income. Also, political relations have significant effects on liquidity risk and bankruptcy, but on risk. Credit and operations are not affected. Finally, political relations have not affected the risk of falling stock prices of banks. Third, financial crises only have a positive and significant effect on the growth rate of shared income and have no significant effects on return on assets, return on capital and growth rate of non-shared income. Also, financial crises have significant effects on credit risk, liquidity and bankruptcy.

Common terminology is essential for accurate communication among researchers, scientists, engineers, and other decision makers. To assist manufacturing process characterization, a common understanding of terminology is imperative for efficient and effective communication in industry; it can also facilitate automation and interoperability of software tools. Manufacturing process characterization enables the assessment and improvement of unit manufacturing processes, products, and systems from a sustain- ability perspective. To develop and implement sustainability-related standards and best practices in industry, naming conventions and definitions of common terms are needed. Presently, many terms used are ill-defined, vague, or overlap in meaning. Although there are ongoing standards efforts related to terminology identification and definition, an identified common set is yet to be developed. The objective of this work was to facilitate ongoing standards development efforts by harmonizing the varied array of terms used to describe production processes. As a result of a review of the literature, a concise set of 47 terms focusing on process characterization and able to describe sustainable production was generated; terms unique to individual production processes were omitted. The terms were orga- nized into six categories to define the overarching concepts: Scope, Boundary, Material, Measurement, Model, and Flow. Definitions of the terms were then derived from the literature in sustainable manufacturing and chemical and process industries, process characterization and planning, organization standards, and life cycle assessment and management. The reported terms and definitions are not unique to sustainable production, and could foster wide- spread use of the concepts to improve the economic, environmental, and social performance of industry. In the future, the terminology described could be standardized through international standards orga- nizations. Manuscript profile

Tolerance is one of the prominent human qualities that God considered in the Qur'an as a divine blessing and mercy. Tolerance, as a high moral virtue, has a significant effect on personal and social ethics and is one of the principles that has had a tremendous impact on the improvement and growth of human relations with others. So, its observance is necessary for the general peace of society. In this regard, this article investigated the relations between men, women, and children from a descriptive and analytical perspective focusing on the internal and external effects of tolerance with a religious teaching approach. Tolerance has internal and external results, and tolerance, as a moral virtue, is one of the qualities that bring people high and honorable positions in this world and the hereafter. Also, it plays a very constructive role in the person's family and social life. Life is full of misfortunes that a person might deal with; if one does not build tolerance and behaves harshly and violently with others in times of difficulty and roughness, it will damage both person's social credit and his/ her religious-moral health.

In today's world, willpower is one of the efficiency factors in different dimensions of life, which increases the exposure to mental challenges and causes the growth and development of personal and work life. This issue is considered one of the basic issues of humanistic psychology, which is used to strengthen human self-awareness. On the other hand, the study of the verses of the Quran shows that a large number of verses are related to the will and ways to strengthen it. In the current research, it has been tried to express the necessary solutions in the matter of strengthening people's will by the analytical-descriptive method and by referring to the verses of the Quran and the theory of psychologists of the humanist school. From the point of view of the Qur'an, man is the best of God's creations and is moving towards God with infinite capabilities. Human talents flourish only in the path of divine approach; Therefore, according to the Qur'an, factors such as divine piety, jihad, fasting, prayer, patience, self-cultivation, etc. strengthen human will and movement. But the humanist school only pays attention to the known human capabilities and takes steps to strengthen the will to reach those capabilities. According to the humanist school, things such as self-knowledge, positive indoctrination, goal setting, determination, decision-making power, and self-respect influence human will.

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the combined program of parent management training and parenting based acceptance and commitment therapy on parental stress, parent-child relationship, and child's externalizing problems.The research was semi-experimental in the form of a pre-test, and post-test design with a control group and a three-month follow-up. The research community was the mothers of children aged 4 to 9 years in Semnan city in 1400. 24 mothers were selected by the available sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 8 two-hour intervention sessions while the control group was on the waiting list. The research tools were Abidin's parenting stress index, Pianta's parent-child relationship scale, and Eyberg's child behavior questionnaire. The data were analyzed by multivariate covariance analysis. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the parental stress, parent-child relationship, and the child's externalized problems. Only in the dependence subscale, it can be seen that this difference is not significant. This combined program can be effective in reducing parenting stress and externalizing problems of the child and reduce conflicts between parents and children and bring closer their relationship, but it is not effective in the degree of parent-child dependence.

Abstract One of the consequences of the developments of the world society in the last century is the development of urbanization and the focus of human communities in urban areas. The growth of population and tendency to urbanization is one of the developments of the current century, which intensified the use of resources and the production of waste. This increase in population along with the development of urbanization leads to the consumption of natural resources and as a result, it leads to production of all kinds of wastes. So, waste management in the world is becoming a big challenge in urban areas. This challenge is greater, especially in big towns. These wastes have not only entered the human ecosystem and the land of the earth, but also entered the seas and it has also left unfavorable effects on aquatic creatures. In order to keep pace with the needs of rapid economic development and continuous population growth, and also because of the vital role of waste management in preserving the environment and public health, marine waste management is one of the current priorities of societies. Disposal and accumulation of waste in the marine environment is one of the environmental threats that is increasing at a very fast pace. The purpose of this study is to review sources and collect information about the entry of plastic waste into the sea, its environmental effects and methods of marine plastic waste management.

Keeping promise is one of the important ethical characteristics, and affects the improvement of all human society affairs, unlike a breach of promise that undermines the family, social, economic, and political order of societies. Thanksgiving is also one of the most important moral virtues and the characteristics of educated man. The Holy Qur'an and hadiths of the Infallibles (a) have taken a special look at the issue of keeping promise and thanksgiving and have repeatedly ordered both. But the uneducated man, not only in relation to other human beings, but also in relation to his Creator, takes the path of breach of promise and ingratitude. The Holy Qur'an has condemned the breach of promise and ingratitude of previous nations and tribes by mentioning their performance and reminded of their adverse consequences. Among those consequences are the destruction of property, the moral disease of hypocrisy, deprivation of spiritual success, world destruction, and becoming the dwellers of hell, and each of these alone can be sufficient incentive and motivation to address the subject of the present article. The result of the process of investigating the factors, cases and consequences of the breach of promise and ingratitude is to achieve the conclusion that from the perspective of the Holy Quran, the way to prevent these two unpleasant moral components is to rely on the two main axes of all moral virtues, namely patience and prayer, along with righteous deeds. By using commentaries of scholars of interpretation and Ethics books related to scientists of morality science, constantly remembering God, not being unaware of death, fear of retribution for deeds and purification of the soul can be considered in line with these two solutions.

This study seeks to investigate and discover the principles and standards of professional ethics for educational managers along with the related challenges. The research approach was quantitative-qualitative (mixed method). The statistical population in the qualitative phase included the principals of boys' high schools in one district of Sanandaj (Iran). Consequently, 8 individuals were selected as the study sample using the purposeful sampling method and phenomenological strategy. The study data were collected through conducting interviews including open-ended questions. The findings revealed: a) the concepts of professional ethics that educational managers adhere to with regard to the specific regulations of a profession, religious principles and values, and social norms; b) principles such as self-management, having a vision, professional capabilities, respect, commitment, and responsibility in the job; c) challenges such as structural challenges (lack of comprehensive standard, contradiction between administrative regulations, centralized management, ambiguity of goals) and individual challenges (passivity, limited visions). In order to collect the data, interviews were conducted with managers to obtain their views toward principles and standards of professional ethics, and they were asked if they adhere to these principles. Next, the data obtained from interviews were compiled and implemented in the form of a researcher-made questionnaire which was divided into two aspects: occupational principles and the other pedagogical principles. In the quantitative phase, the community (n=283) included all the teachers, assistants, and principals of boys' high schools in one district of Sanandaj. Using convenience sampling method, 163 individuals were selected as the study sample. Confirmatory factor analysis, one-sample t-test, and Friedman's test were used for data analysis. Finally, according to the results of the one-sample t-test, higher than average level of commitment was reported for managers. Also, the researcher-made questionnaire.

Green human resources management, as a strong tool that takes the role of human factors, can help organizations to fulfill their social responsibilities in order to protect the environment. This research has been carried out with the aim of systematically reviewing previous researches in the field of green human resources management, as well as identifying key elements and providing a structural model to implement the green human resources management process in the chemical and petrochemical industries of Bushehr province. By studying thematic literature and using the textual content analysis approach, six basic indicators were counted, and in order to localize them in order to implement green human resources management in the chemical and petrochemical industries, the Delphi technique was used in three rounds. The statistical population of the research was formed by managers and experts familiar with the subject and working in the field of petrochemical industries. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, and its validity and reliability were also confirmed. In order to design the structural model of the effective indicators for the implementation of the green human resources management process, the interpretive structural modeling approach in the fuzzy environment was used to manage linguistic ambiguities in judgments. The results of the modeling and analysis of Mik Mak showed that individual, group and organizational indicators are among the basic and influential indicators in the field of Sabza's human resources management; Therefore, managers are suggested to emphasize and pay more attention to this group of indicators.

Perfection-seeking is one of the important features and principles in the development of an optimal civilizational system. Relying on the human truth, which consists of appearance and innermost, Mullā Ṣadrā aims to portray a social system based on Man’s ontological potentials. The reason is that human beings, due to their primordial nature, are in pursuit of civil life, and their worldly and otherworldly goals can only be achieved in the context of a civilizational system. The purpose of the present study is to present a plan in relation to the development and reinforcement of a civilizational system relying on three principles that originate in Sadrian philosophy. The first deals with the origin of perfection-seeking and its effect on social life. The second is related to the issue of property and law, which pave the context for the rise of a civilizational system. The third principle pertains to the identification and suggestion of philosophical strategies for resolving civilizational crises. The purpose of examining these principles is to pay attention to human capabilities and potentials and discover how a perfection-seeking human develops the ability to attain supreme goals. The findings of this study indicate that the Transcendent philosophy, on the one hand, seeks to introduce a plan and program for optimizing the civilizational system through paying attention to Man’s ontological levels and potentials of a civilizational system. On the other hand, it can provide a desirable model for the flourishing of civilizational life through organizing Man’s achievements in nature in the light of science, power, and creativity.

Manifestation (tajallī) is a frequently used concept in Islamic tradition, the interpretation of which has a great influence on ethical, epistemological, and religious beliefs. The background of this term goes back to the Holy Qur’ān and some ḥadīths with Muslim thinkers having provided several interpretations for it. Prior to Ibn ‘Arabī, manifestation was, more than anything else, a mystic concept that referred to the quality of the ontological-epistemological closeness of the wayfarer to Almighty Truth through removing veils and revealing the acts, attributes, and essence of God. However, Ibn ‘Arabī’s particular views and interpretation of this term were different from those of others. The present study employs a descriptive-analytic method in order to comparatively investigate the uses of the concept of manifestation in Ibn ‘Arabī’s view and in Islamic verses and traditions to reveal their similarities and differences. The findings of this study demonstrate that Ibn ‘Arabī’s ideas regarding some important discussions such as the definitions of manifestation, similarity, and essence or absolute non-existence; absolute judgment about God’s essence; limited terms; Man’s concepts of God; God’s manifestation in the Hereafter, and manifestation of denial are greatly different from the views in Islamic verses and traditions in relation to the concept of manifestation.

In recent decades, the issues and problems of cities have become more complex, and integrated urban management needs a transformation and an attitude beyond the attitude and performance of the previous traditional management system. The multiplicity of management and inconsistency of public and private organizations and institutions in charge of urban affairs is one of the basic issues in the field of urban management; Nowadays, the proper administration of cities is not possible without integrated urban management. Realization of management and changes in management approaches happen in a platform known as governance platform. The concept of governance is related to the concept of government, but it is different from it. Instead of focusing on the government, governance flows power inside and outside the official authority and government institutions in the form of three pillars: "Government", "Private Sector" and "Civil Society". In addition, the foundation of governance is the process of decision-making and implementation of decisions, which determines how the three mentioned actors with different priorities and tastes reach harmony. In this way, the topics raised in the category of governance include power and its distribution system, how to make policies, priorities and accountability. In this study, various aspects of governance and integrated management have been addressed and obstacles and challenges of governance in Iran have been investigated. The results show that components such as "the lack of a city and a basic theory to define the city in Iran", "the lack of formation of a powerful and influential civil society", "the lack of development of the concept of planning in Iran", "the lack of the place of the concept of citizenship" ", "the place of urban management in the laws and documents of Faradast", "lack of integration in urban management" and "unstable financing of municipalities and its related problems" are among the most important obstacles in this field (Ashnavar and colleagues, 1400).

The present study examines the social development of Man based on the Prophetic Transcendent Philosophy from Mullā Ṣadrā’s perspective following an analytic-descriptive method. The necessity and importance of this discussion lies in the idea that the knowledge of several social categories, such as the criteria for cruelty and true happiness, the quality of the interactions between culture and social traditions with social behaviors, individual and social liberties, citizenship rights, etc., depend on explaining the causes, features, and effects of Man’s social development. In relation to the mentioned factors, while investigating the functional concepts of perfection and development, the truth and mentally-positedness of society, and the place of the prophets and their heirs, the reasons behind the development of human species are mentioned based on Mullā Ṣadrā’s theories of the becoming of the rational soul, the graded motion of existence, Man’s connection to the Active Intellect and, following it, intellectual flourishing. In Mullā Ṣadrā’s view, the most important features for the realization of Man’s intellectual perfection include advocating the prophets, becoming similar to God, and imitating Godly behavior. The findings of this study demonstrate that in his sociological discussions, through promoting his Transcendent Philosophy to the Prophetic Transcendent Philosophy, Mullā Ṣadrā introduces the effects of Man’s social development in four categories of creating utopia or the one people, the prophets’ unveiling and displaying intellectual treasures, longing for the Hereafter and avoiding the love of worldly affairs, and establishing the transcendent civilization.

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.

In self-report questionnaires, possess social desirability bias can be seen. Then, assessing and controlling social desirability is one of the methods to promote the findings based from such questionnaires. One of the most popular instruments that assesses this bias is 13-items Marlowe-Crowne Social Desir-ability Scale (MCSDS; Reynolds, 1982). However, the Persian version of it does not have satisfactory reliability. In this study, using data from some previous studies among university students (N=1439) and data from a longitudinal study among them (N=90), the scale was revalidated. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation between items and total score, discrimination of the items, relaiability by internal consistency method and examinaing the criterion validity by compairing annonymouse and named questionaires, all were done among the first testing sample. In addition, test-retest reliability testing was done on the longitudinal study. Explanatory factor analysis has shown that the scale consists of three factors. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the three-factor model among the entire sample. Howevere, focusing on the meaning factor leaded ambiguity for naming of the items at any factor leaded ambiguity for naming the factors. In addition, criterion validity, internal consis-tency, and stability of the factors, also discrimination of the items, all questioned the reliability and the validity of the first and the third factors. It seems that they assess another things than social desirability. By omitting the first and the third factors, seven items were remained that are suitable to assess social desirability bias for the studies that use self-report questionairs. Manuscript profile

The Internet of Everything constitutes a comprehensive framework of connections, processes, and principles interlinked within a unified ecosystem. Within this framework, at a higher level, connections have broadened, and more importantly, these connections are comprehended. The present article delves into assessing the status of this innovative technology in two neighboring countries. This study serves as an excellent example for decision-makers and leaders to propel Iran towards a higher level of sustainable development. Meanwhile, Dubai, one of the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates, by installing smart infrastructures, employing the unified DubaiNow application for all services (governmental and urban), and establishing a smart city, stands as the sole country among its neighbors to have successfully executed the Internet of Everything. The Internet of Everything has transformed Dubai into a significant economic hub in the region and globally. Conversely, although the Internet of Everything technology has not yet proliferated in Turkey, the foundations, technology, and key concepts have been well-established in the country. This technology, with its specific capabilities across various domains, from smart agriculture and livestock farming to urban traffic management, smart airports, and asset monitoring, has facilitated substantial improvements in infrastructures and services provided in Turkey. The examination results indicate that the orientations of these two countries toward achieving the prospects of this significant transformation have led to increased revenues, reduced operational costs, heightened productivity across various sectors, and positioning them on the path of sustainable development.

in this paper, it is attempted to highlight the ancient living Iranian thoughts which have entered the Muslims’ mysticism. The current paper has a subject-oriented method and does not address the historical relations of thoughts. In other words, the purpose is not to delineate the identity of ideas. Rather, it is attempted to trace these ideas in ancient Iran. In addition, to avoid a confusion of ideas as well as a historical survey of the circulation of mystical ideas amongst the mystics, only Ibn Arabi’s mysticism (as a point of theoretical mysticism amongst the Muslims at which mystical ideas are systematically conjoined) was selected and discussed in this paper. In addition, the term ‘theoretical’ tends to omit ‘practical’ mysticism. In this paper, some of the macro-notions which are the foundations of the Muslims’ mysticism including names and attributes, immutable entities and the world of imagination, the perfect man, and the oneness of being (which is the heart of these concepts) are investigated. Before this, their parallel correspondences in Iranian philosophy, i.e. Amesha Spentas, Zurvan, Faravahars, and the primitive man are discussed. It will be concluded from all these discussions that the main foundations of the Muslims’ mysticism are more or less a exegesis to Iranian philosophy. Manuscript profile

The term "dialectic of space" in architecture refers to the contradictions and interactions present within spaces. These contradictions may encompass elements such as lightness and darkness, density and spatiality, as well as mutual aspects like internal and external factors. In architecture, this concept mostly addresses the design of spaces and their influence on human behavior and emotions. One of the most frequently cited propositions in the context of space dialectics is the pursuit of balance amidst contradictions. Designing spaces involves striving to achieve a balance among different elements including light and darkness, open and closed space, indoor and outdoor space, and more, which is considered as one of the basic principles. This balance can contribute to harmonizing people's moods and emotions while facilitating optimal utilization of space. Another important aspect of space dialectic is the interference and interaction among diverse elements. Spaces can be more attractive by creating interference and interaction between different components. In other words, spaces with diversity and multiplicity factors exert the greatest impact on people's behavior and emotions, potentially generating attractive and dynamic qualities within spaces. Additionally, a recurring proposition emphasizes the connection with the environment. Spaces should establish links with their surroundings and cultivate positive relationships with them, achieved through the integration with natural landscapes, connectivity with adjacent spaces, or even integration with urban spaces. According to these frequent propositions, architectural designers can develop spaces that exert a greater impact on the residents’ behavior and emotions, fostering environments that are both appealing and diverse. These principles aid designers in creating high-quality and suitable spaces for human life and work. Manuscript profile

In the explanation of moral foundations and concepts, especially moral vices, the most useful categories are in the expression of definition, cause and treatment methods. What is evident in the expression of greed and greed in the view of these two mystics and poets is the benefit, citation and attention to Quranic concepts and Islamic narrations. It is in this context that both mystics consider greed and greed in human existence as other institutional instincts in his nature and nature, with the difference that Maulavi points to two types of greed, acceptable and reprehensible, but Attar relies on the reprehensibility of this trait. Condemnation of greed and greed and advice Avoiding it by remembering death and remembering God and having contentment is common in the words of both poets. Maulavi's different view on greed is to pay attention to greed and the consequences of it. Maulavi has given a more detailed description of greed and greed than Attar in Masnavi, which of course It is not possible to make small mistakes on the book of calamities, which is smaller than Masnavi.

One of the fundamental issues in the matter of men and women is whether men and women have the same truth and nature And are similar works expected of both, or do they each have a different humanity or nature?

Construction projects significantly contribute to a country's financial resources, yet claims and disputes have become common in these projects. Many stakeholders consider these disputes among the most destructive events in the industry. In most projects, there is a possibility of claims from parties, particularly contractors, due to differences in project implementation systems. While eliminating claims is impossible, identifying the primary causes and origins of claims can help prevent them from occurring in projects. This study investigated the causes of disputes and claims by contractors in municipalities. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify potential factors affecting disputes and claims. Subsequently, a questionnaire was administered to 20 experts and specialists to validate these factors. The probability of disputes occurring and the average probability of these disputes converting into significant differences between contractors and municipalities were measured using statistical tests. Exploratory factor analysis was employed to classify the factors causing these differences, and the probability of conversion for each group was analyzed. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to rank the factors affecting these differences. The results showed that indicators related to the consultant's weaknesses and shortcomings, as well as those related to the employer's weaknesses and shortcomings, accounted for a significant share in the occurrence of disputes between municipalities and contractors. Specific issues such as the execution and timing of projects, duplication of work, delays in decision-making, and delays in obtaining necessary permits were found to contribute to disputes and claims. The study underscores the importance of effective project management, timely communication, and collaboration between contractors and municipalities to minimize disputes and claims.

The purpose of this research is to answer the question, what is the relationship between God and the universe from the perspective of Mirza Javad Tehrani? For this purpose, his written works were analyzed by means of content analysis of sources in a library manner. Sages in response to this question of rational assumptions such as; They have used the principle of causation, falsification, composition, the principle of oneness, the subject of manifestation, etc., and by proposing a separation between the first creation and the first emission, they have considered the relationship as an existential matter. Mirza Javad, one of the thinkers of the separation school, while not accepting the aforementioned principles, does not consider the claim of the sages to be free of problems. He believes that determining the example of the first creature and expressing the type of relationship is beyond the realm of human knowledge, so we must obey the Sharia texts in this regard. Therefore, the relationship between God and the universe is definitely established. Although its quality is unknown to us. Manuscript profile

One of the tools and mechanisms of drafting accounting standards is conservatism. Conservatism has been proposed as a useful tool for the board of directors in order to fully implement key tasks such as determining strategies, comprehensive supervision of the company's executive directors, and ensuring accountability to shareholders and stakeholders in recent years. Conservatism is placed as a criterion of pessimism in front of the manager's optimism to increase the quality of profit. Studies show that managers do not always behave in a completely rational way, and under the influence of characteristics such as optimism, overconfidence, etc., they may make irrational decisions that have an important impact on the company's financial and operational activities. On the other hand, one of the basic elements in making investment decisions is the cost of equity, which decreases the economic added value of companies. In order to maintain the value of the economic unit, the management should try to bring the expected return to at least the level of the cost of equity. In this, the key to success is reducing the cost of equity. Therefore, this research seeks to answer the question of whether the moral characteristics of managers have an effect on the non-linear relationship between accounting conservatism and the cost of equity? This research has been carried out in the framework of inductive-inductive arguments. In this research, library and field methods were used to collect information. The theoretical bases and researches carried out were used as a library basis. The statistical population of this research includes all the companies accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the financial periods of 1392-1401. According to Cochran's formula, the number of samples used in this research has been obtained for an error of 0.085 (about 8.5%). According to the findings of the research, with the increase of managers' overconfidence, the relationship between managers' conservatism and the cost of equity will weaken, and there is an inverse relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Also, with the increase in managers' optimism, the relationship between the conservatism of managers and the cost of equity is strengthened, and there is a direct relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Also, with the increase of overconfidence, the cost of equity will decrease and there is an inverse relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Also, with the increase of the company size variable, the relationship between managers' conservatism and the cost of equity weakens, and there is an inverse relationship between the independent and dependent variable. This variable supports the linear relationship between managers' conservatism and the cost of equity. Manuscript profile
