        the purpose of this study is to achieve a model for measuring knowledge management for inovation in the Islamic Republic of Iran TV. The present study is a qualitative study based on grounded theory. In this research, snowball sampling method was used. Based on the sampling and theoretical saturation, 10 experts from the field of knowledge management and media participated. Immediately after the interview, based on the open coding, the axis and selection was done. The findings showed that, in terms of experts, the six main themes of the model of KM are presented in the Islamic Republic's TV. In this research, different models of KM assessment were examined. By examining different models and answering the research questions, it was determined that knowledge management in the strategic planning of the Islamic Republic of Iran's TV was not obvious. The Islamic Republic of Iran's TV is not up-to-date in terms of knowledge and is not flexible enough to respond to the new needs of the audience. Experts and proprietors believe the output of the TV knowledge of the Islamic Republic is less favorable. Improving the performance of the Islamic Republic in the field of manufacturing processes, the quality of products or services by the use of knowledge by the owners of the field of knowledge management is not very positive. Finally, an analytical model for measuring knowledge management for inovation was presented in the Islamic Republic's TV.   Manuscript profile

        One of the machine learning tasks is supervised learning. In supervised learning we infer a function from labeled training data. The goal of supervised learning algorithms is learning a good hypothesis that minimizes the sum of the errors. A wide range of supervised algorithms is available such as decision tress, SVM, and KNN methods. In this paper we focus on decision tree algorithms. When we use the decision tree algorithms, the data is partitioned by axis- aligned hyper planes. The geometric concept of decision tree algorithms is relative to separability problems in computational geometry. One of the famous problems in separability concept is computing the maximum bichromatic discrepancy problem. There exists an -time algorithm to compute the maximum bichromatic discrepancy in d dimensions. This problem is closely relative to decision trees in machine learning. We implement this problem in 1, 2, 3 and d dimension. Also, we implement the C4.5 algorithm. The experiments showed that results of this algorithm and C4.5 algorithm are comparable.

        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

        Due to the increase in the computational power of computers and the number of servers on the Internet, such as web servers, a problem called C10K emerged. The problem considers to actually handling10000 clients simultaneously through a Gigabit Ethernet pipe. For solving this problem, some non/blocking methods were proposed. We are going to investigate and compare these methods in highly concurrent workloads. One of the most important reasons for wasting the processing power is communication between computation units and using blocking model in the style of programming because if our programs operate in non-blocking mode they can perform other works until the I/O operation is complete. Threads are widely-used tools for concurrency, but huge resource consumption and some limitations such as scalability in many systems due to the threading model has made researchers to focus on new techniques for example, the integration between thread-based concurrency and event-driven concurrency that is results in constructing hybrid systems. The current seminar presents a number of architectures for handling massive concurrency and load, and makes comparison among them. Manuscript profile

        This paper provided a hybrid coding using spatial and spatial - temporal scalability terms, for coding video with high resolution. In the hybrid method, Intra and Inter video frames are encoded in two different ways. Intra frames are coded using SPIHT algorithm based on wavelet transform and Inter frames are coded using conventional MPEG-2 standard, based on DCT transform. With using this procedure, video is sent through two or three layers. The transmitted data from layers provided the video with different resolution and quality. There for, the user can choose the appropriate services based on their needs. In the spatial scalability, the base layer and enhanced layer have the same coding structure. But in the spatial - temporal scale when the second-upgraded-layer, because it contains only Inter frame, just coded based on standard methods. Simulation results of various videos with high resolution show the image quality of the proposed method in comparison of scalability in multiple layers in MPEG-2 standards. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, a hybrid encoder using two features of spatial scalability and spatio-temporal scalability is presented for high resolution video coding. In the combined method, Intra and Inter video frames are coded in two different ways. Intra frames are coded using SPIHT1 algorithm which is based on wavelet transform. Inter frames are coded in the usual MPEG-2 standard way and based on DCT conversion. By coding the video with a high degree of resolution in two ways: spatial scalability and spatial-temporal scalability, the video is sent through two or three layers. The data sent from the layers provide a video with different resolution and quality to the user. In this way, the user can choose the right service based on his needs. In spatial scalability, the base layer and the upgrade layer have the same coding structure. But in the spatio-temporal scalability of the second upgrade layer, because it only includes Inter frames, it is only coded based on the standard method. The results of the simulations performed on different videos with a high degree of resolution show the improvement of the final image quality in the proposed hybrid method with scalability in different layers, compared to the method based on the MPEG-2 standard.

        One of the learning methods in machine learning and pattern recognition is supervised learning. In supervised learning and in two-category problems, the available educational data labels include positive and negative categories. The goal of the supervised learning algorithm is to calculate a hypothesis that can separate positive and negative data with the least amount of error. In this article, among all supervised learning algorithms, we focus on the performance of decision trees. The geometric view of the decision tree brings us closer to the concept of separability in computational geometry. Among all the available resolution algorithms related to the decision tree, we raise the problem of calculating the rectangle with the maximum difference of two colors and implement the algorithm in one, two, three and m dimensions, where m represents the number of data features. The implementation result shows that this algorithm is competitive with the well-known C4.5 algorithm. Manuscript profile

        Energy consumption has significantly increased beside of urbanization growth. It may go up so fast that it results in environmental Issues and greater natural resource depletions. Therefore, the use of renewable and clean fuel is considered necessary. Currently, macro-algae are cultivated in various regions of the world for various industrial and food usages. Macro-algae are known as a specific resource of alternative for energy production due to their biochemical properties such as high level of carbohydrate, lipid and protein. Various biotechnology methods have been developed for energy producing from macro-algae which are divided into two categories: 1) biochemical processes (fermentation, digestion) and 2) thermochemical processes (incineration, pyrolysis, and hydrothermal liquefaction). Depending on the type of methods, the product are categorized under different phases such as solid, liquid and gas. In this study, we will review the methods and studies on the energy production of different species of macroalgae. Manuscript profile

        Industrial developments must follow environmental codes to sustain soil, water and air quality. Therefore, assessment of aquifer vulnerability potential for locating new industrial settlements is necessary. In this research, the vulnerability of Sari plain groundwater resources to the establishment of industrial zones is evaluated by DRASTIC model. Results show that Sari aquifer is very vulnerable to industrial development and the vulnerability map of the plain consists of three zones. The first, second and third zones that covers 10.49%, 56.66% and 32.85% of areal extent of the plain are classified as highly, very highly and too highly vulnerable, respectively. Parameter sensitivity analysis showed that the depth of the water-table is the most effective factor on the DRASTIC vulnerability index. Sari shallow aquifer is strongly affected by pollutants from agricultural and industrial activities. The study area is not suitable for the establishment of industrial estates based on the vulnerability map. Moreover, if environmental considerations are not respected by farmers and the existing industrial units in the plain, the aquifer will be suffering serious damages. Manuscript profile

        New industrial estates developments must follow the effective factors in protection, management and sustainable development of aquifers and water resources in a plain in order to meet the needs of people. Therefore, assessment of the aquifer vulnerability potential for locating new industrial estates settlements is necessary. So, investigation of the vulnerability of Sari plain groundwater resources for locating the industrial zones is necessery. In this research, the risk map of the plain was prepared using a drastic model to assessment of the effective hydrogeological factors in locating the industrial estates of Sari plain. The results of the Drastic model showed that Sari aquifer vulnerability is classified in three groups of highly vulnerable (10.49%,), very highly vulnerable (56.66%) and too highly vulnerable (32.85%). Sensitivity analysis based on two-way single parameter and parameter deletion methods showed that the depth of the water-table factor is the most sensitive factor on the DRASTIC vulnerability index. Sari aquifer is strongly affected by agricultural and industrial activities' pollutants due to shallow water-table; so, the study area is not suitable for establishment of industrial estates based on the final vulnerability map, the aquifer extreme vulnerability potential and the amount of exsisting pollutant. Also, if environmental considerations are not respected by farmers and the existing industrial units in the plain, the aquifer will be suffering serious damages. Manuscript profile

        Today, urban viability reflects a strong discourse on urban development and urban design, which has become prevalent in the history of urban planning. Implementation of urban development plans is one of the basic measures in urban planning and management for the city to be inhabitants of the city and guaranteeing the continued existence of the city for a long time. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the current status of Zanjan city in terms of livability indicators and how urban development plans can be implemented livability in Zanjan city. The research method of this research is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. The results of this study indicate that the findings of the analysis of the mental indices based on the distribution of the questionnaire among the statistical population showed that the Objective and subjective indicators conditions are not nearly consistent. According to the results of regression analysis, the rate of communication and correlation of livability with urban development plans is 0.622. Considering the significant level of 0.000 and its low, it is rejected from the 0.05P <zero hypothesis. It can be said that the relationship between the two variables of livability with the urban development plans is significant. In other words, the implementation of urban development plans accounts for 37% of the Zanjan city's livability. In addition, the highest correlation between the implementation of urban development plans with the social index is 0.369 and the smallest amount is also economic-related with 0.167.

        The issues related to the viability of perimetric metropolitan villages are not explained by the concept of rural viability and are affected by the communication network and the rural-urban associations of the cities under their control. The current topic of research is to make the viability of the villages of the metropolitan areas of Tehran (study item: Varamin city) clear. The research method is exploring-explaining, and attempts to explain the role of effective factors and forces in the viability of the perimetric metropolitan villages in the form of interior and exterior/further rural factors. In this regard, at first a review of theories, models, theoretical approaches, earlier studies, and comprehensible-analytical model has been presented. The support theory in the concept of rural viability, was the sustainable development theory, and due to that, the social, economic, viable, somatic, and its variant dimensions were primarily identified as rural interior and exterior factors via extension and Delphi identification. Nineteen variants were identified in the form of quadratic dimensions for the effective exterior/further rural effective factors in rural viability situation, as well as sixteen variants and seventeen components for the interior factors of viability of perimetric metropolitan villages of Tehran. The scrutinizing and exploration of the mentioned factors from analysis, exploited an exploratory factor, and the result was the confirmation of nineteen further rural factors and eighty one interior rural variant factors. The statistical population of the study was inhabited by villagers around the city of Varamin and Javadabad (two urban locations of Varamin) which was 53,255 people, and the cities mentioned as well as 140 people, who were professionals, experts, and local managers. In sampling of the residents, random cluster sampling was used, and the sample population of 689 individuals was determined by the Cochran formula, with 0.05% error correction; and was distributed as share-layer among the centers. The statistical techniques used in this study were t viability of perimetric metropolitan villages T-Test (for assessing the viability) and checking the numeral values obtained by Mercer classification; Kolmogorov Smirnov Test (K.S) to determine the distribution type of the statistical population, Pearson Test to determine the viability relation of the surrounding villages and cities, were structural equations. In statistical data analysis and data spatial representation, SPSS, Lisrel, and Arc GIS softwares were used. The results of the research showed that in the metropolitan area of Tehran, a variety of rural viability in the quadratic dimensions of research as of area has appeared. There has been also a significant relation between the viability of the cities, Varamin and Javadabad, and their studied surrounding villages and metropolitan Tehran. This relation was positively and directly related to economic, social, and somatic dimensions, and negatively related to the viable ones. The results also indicted that the exterior/further and interior rural factors affected the perimetric metropolitan villages, and explained it but the impact of exterior rural factors was greater than the interior ones.

        This research is trying to assess the hydrological cycle and its trend in Iran. It is also tried to study the effect of NAO, AISMR and ONI Tele-connection pattern on the spatial variability of precipitation in Iran. For this purpose, the precipitation and precipitable water data during the 1979 - 2014 were extracted and analyzed from NCEP / NCAR. Then the hydrologic cycle was calculated on the basis of reproducibility time formula. The maps of this cycle across Iran were drawn. The analysis shows some region like Southwest Caspian Sea, Kermanshah, Lorestan have had the short hydrological cycles (5.5 to 11.5 years) due to the topographic and neighborhood effect. The longest hydrological cycle (98.30 to 141.17-year) have happened in the East and South of Sistan and Baluchestan. In the South East of Iran, AISMR has negative correlation (sig< 0.01) with the hydrologic cycle. The negative phase of the NAO in the middle of the Iran caused shortening the hydrological cycle. Spring ONI has negative correlation (sig< 0.05) with the hydrologic cycle in the North-East and South-East and hydrological cycle in the West has negative correlation (sig< 0.05) with autumn and spring ONI.

        Loess is a particular type of silty soils with porous structure and weak cohesion which has been deposited over different periods of Quaternary. From the geological engineering view points, these soils are problematic ones whose main geological engineering feature of these soils is their erodibility and collapsibility. Loess soils are the main deposits cover north of Golestan province. These soils have spread across 4200 square kilometers. In this study, in order to examine and identify the loessic soils, undisturbed samples were collected and transferred to the lab and then Atterberg limit, specific gravity, grading, percentage of lime, specific density, rate of consolidation, and shear strength parameters were determined. Soil collapsibility was also determined using the results of the double oedometer tests. According to the unified standard, these soils are categorized in CL and ML groups. Furthermore, based on Clevenger classification, they are placed in the category of clayey loess and silty loess. The amount of calcium carbonate in these soils ranges from 12 to 22.3 percent and demonstrates low shear strength parameters in saturated condition. The double oedometer tests results demonstrate that the soils are prone to collapsibility. The results of soil dispersion tests reveal that the depression, which is due to the presence of sodium carbonate, does not have any influence on erosion of mentioned soils; therefore the high erodibility of these soils is basically a mechanical phenomenon which can be attributed to special texture and grading of loesses.

        In this study, the optimized DRASTIC model parameters and land use layer (LU) were used to assess specific vulnerability in Kashan aquifer using statistical methods. Information layers were prepared, rated (deterministic and fuzzy-statistical), weighted (original and statistical) and combined (by Index-Overlay method) in GIS environment. For optimization of DRASTIC model, nonlinear regression for fuzzy-statistical rating (scaling) and Pearson correlation coefficients between nitrate concentrations and scaling parameters of DRASTIC model and sensitivity analysis (removal and single-parameter) were performed to determine and modify weighted parameters. As a result, RASIC-LU model with statistical rating and weighting, single-parameter sensitivity analysis, determined the best selection model based on correlation coefficient = 61.1%, P-Value= 0.001 and with parameters of net recharge, aquifer media, soil media, impact of vadose zone, hydraulic conductivity and land use with weight values of 2.50, 4.63, 4.15, 3.03, 1.96 and 2.00 respectively. According to this model, western and southern parts of the aquifer has a high and very high pollution risk due to high net recharge, pollutant land use and coarse-grain material in the impact of vadose zone, soil and aquifer media. In addition, sensitivity analysis based on mean squares error (MSE) indicated that this model is more sensitive to removal and increase of parameters weight of land use, soil media, impact of vadose zone, aquifer media, net recharge and hydraulic conductivity, and shows a decreasing ternd, respectivily.

        The image well theory was used in the study of no flow boundaries effects on the drawdown around pumping wells. Most studies are concentrated on the vertical no flow boundaries, while, in some cases these boundaries are not vertical and have inclinations. To the best of the authors knowledge, the problem of the inclined no flow boundaries has not been studied yet. The effects of the parallel no flow boundaries inclination on the drawdown around pumping wells in bounded aquifers is studied here. The time-drawdown data for vertical boundaries have used the numerical simulation and also the image well theory. The effects of inclination of the boundaries were only considered using the numerical simulation. The results of numerical simulations and image well theory for vertical no flow boundaries were matched completely. The computed drawdown for observation well in the models with inclined and vertical no flow boundaries used to compute the difference between them. The difference between these cases depends on the distance between the boundaries (width of the aquifer) and the inclination value. The results showed that in large widths and low inclinations, the computed drawdown in aquifers with vertical boundaries are almost similar with the computed drawdown in aquifers with inclined boundaries and the differences can be neglected. In the other words, the difference between the vertical and inclined cases in smaller widths is so high that even in the low inclinations, the differences can't be neglected. It can be concluded that the image well theory as we know, cannot be used in inclined no flow boundaries. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, inventive consumers play a prominent role in the initial acceptance of the new product and the final acceptance of the new product by other consumers who have lower Innovativeness. Accordingly, many companies are seeking to identify the useful variables for the segmentation of consumers as innovative and adopter consumers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of consumer Innovativeness and personal characteristics on the adoption of new products. In this research, the role of moderating consumer personal characteristics has been investigated on the relationship between consumer innovation and new product adoption. For this purpose, the present study was conducted with a survey methodology strategy, targeting samples of Kaleh products (in Amol, Babol and Babolsar). Accordingly, the data were collected using a convenient sampling method from 398 Kaleh consumers during 1 month. In the end, due to the nature of the causal nature of the research methodology, the results of data analysis through Smart PLS software showed that consumer Innovativeness influences the adoption of the new product and consumer characteristics impacts consumer Innovativeness, and personal characteristics does not have an effect on new product adoption. In addition, the moderation of personal characteristics on the relationship between Consumer Innovativeness and the adoption of a new product, except for "education" was not approved.

        Competitiveness is a complex and multidimensional concept, making it possible to get high-quality feedback from the environment. This research was designed in order to improve the competitiveness capability; because competitiveness plays a basic role in an organization’s productivity. To this end, we employed the cognitive complexity as a strategic concept using its key components including market sensation and customer psychology. Moreover, we examined three dimensions of market intelligence to develop the model. Data was collected through in library studies and interview with master students of Tehran University, school for performing arts and music. Collected data was analyzed by the system dynamics method with the aim of variables’ future behavior estimation. In doing so, 2 scenarios were simulated using Vensim PLE software. In the first scenario, market sensation led to strategic innovation through requisite infrastructure to create and disseminate intelligence. In the second scenario, customer psychology was identified as an effective factor in market accountability and competency creation. Findings showed that little improvement in customer psychology causes more customer perceptual competency. To understand and interpret the complex environment, designing an integrated and intelligence information systems is recommended. This is required to achieve both strategic innovation and organization competency simultaneously in order to increase the capacity of competitiveness. Manuscript profile

        The author of this research is an experienced investor with a long-standing and established presence in the industry and has a dynamic relationship with local universities. He considers the first step as clearly defining the goals of academic self-governance, followed by a thorough identification of incentives for self-governance at higher education institutions. Why should universities be self-governed?What measures need to be taken to achieve “self-governance” at universities?Below, the underlying reasons for progressing towards “self-governance” in higher education institutions will be explained in detail: -The need for investment to develop infrastructure pertinent to universities. -The Government’s limited and arguably insufficient funding for universities. -The need to foster financial and income diversity among universities. -Benefiting from the process of financing as a tool for transformation. -The need to increase welfare benefits and enhance general standards of living for academics through wealth creation by universities themselves. -The need for quantitative and qualitative enhancement of resources made available to university researchers, specialists, and consultants in the field of Industry and Economy. -Helping mitigate the “brain drain” crisis . -The need for improved standards of accountability with respect to university stakeholders. (Through a more prominent involvement of universities in the nation’s development process). -The need for innovation in the field of technology. -Increasing the competitiveness of local universities in accordance with international standards. -The need for independence and financial autonomy of universities to grow and evade restrictions. In this section, we will attempt to clarify our definition of "self-governance at universities" as financial self-governance – aiming to minimize reliance on public funds as the main source of endowments. By emphasizing on the lawful self-governance of universities, in line with their institutional missions, the potential of universities will no longer be constrained by the “what ifs” and “only ifs” commonly heard at academic institutions dependent on public funds. The need for self-governance (financial self-sufficiency) can also be traced in the Constitution. Finally, it is essential to note that by paving the way for self-governance at universities through the allocation of responsibilities among academia as their “national commitment”, we can help transform the industry and promote the sustainable development of the country. Addressing the methods of achieving self-governance, we should reevaluate our perception of universities by looking through a different lens. Perceiving universities as “enterprises” or “firms” reveals the nuanced dimensions of the issue and allows for greater emphasis to be put on "industry" as the main customer of universities. At the third and final stage of the quest, the deviser of the Bridge plan suggests that there will be a systematic yet creative connection between the notion of academic self-governance and the Bridge plan itself. The wagons of academic self-governance will fit perfectly on the railway tracks of the Bridge plan, and the train will head for the destination. In this part, we will provide a brief overview of the Bridge plan for those not familiar with it. The Bridge Plan: The metaphorical use of the term “bridge” is meant to describe the dynamic relationship between the industry and universities, as the driving forces behind the economic development of the country. It should be noted that the Bridge plan is a trnasformational progress towards tackling the most fundamental issues in the national economy–through a process-oriented and purposeful act of “bridgin Manuscript profile

        In order to achieve the goals of real and sustainable development, every society needs the interaction and continuous action of two scientific and technical institutions that are formed in the form of universities and industry. Due to the organic relations of these two institutions that form a single system, a violation in each of them causes a violation in the whole system. The present study tries to identify the challenges and barriers of the relationship between industry and academia from the perspective of industry managers and university professors with an interpretive approach. The research approach used is qualitative methodology and ethnographic method has been used to conduct research operations. The data of this study were collected using participatory observation, semi-structured interview technique and document analysis and then combined using triangulation technique. The sampling method used in this study is qualitative-purposeful sampling and using the theoretical saturation index, 15 university professors and 10 industry managers were interviewed as a research sample. Their attitudes and views on the challenges and barriers to communication between industry and academia were examined. The main findings of this study using contextual theory include categories such as weakness in context and support, lack of knowledge and skills, lack of efficient management system, reluctance to communicate, lack of appropriate culture and beliefs, inflexibility of structure. Processes are the inability to network. According to the research, all these categories can be placed under the category of industry-university relationship challenge Manuscript profile

        Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of ACT and Clomipramine was used to treat OCD and to determine the most effective type of treatment in reducing the symptoms of patients with OCD. Methods: This research was an applied and research project. It was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test, follow-up, and control groups. The research population was obsessive-compulsive disorder referring to counseling centers in the summer of 2018 and received a definitive diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sampling was done by the access method. Participants were randomly assigned to 3 groups of 15. Subjects were evaluated before and after the intervention by the Yale Brown questionnaire. To analyze the statistical data, analysis of variance (repeated measure) was used by SPSS software version 21. Findings: The findings of this study showed that both types of treatment in the short-term affects the improvement of symptoms of OCD (P<0/01), but in follow-up, ACT treatments maintained their therapeutic effect. Moreover, there was no significant difference between men and women statistically in this study. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate a more lasting effect of treatment based on acceptance and commitment, and this seems to be important due to the combination of Eastern techniques and Western psychology that makes treatment more effective for Iranian patients.

        Death is the greatest incident in any person’s life and has constantly occupies man’s mind. In the written literary texts of Iran- both religious and non-religious; before and after Islam- most of the investigations and explorations and the concern of writers, poets and scholars was on finding a way for escaping death or overcoming the terror derived from it. The first literary prose and poetic works seriously concerned about this topic are from the mid third century after Islam; where we can notice and see such historical concern. That is of course if we chose to dismiss the ancient Iranian literature and the initial myths and epics belonging to that period. With a brief overlook, the attempts of the Iranian Post-Islam poets and writers for overcoming death or reducing its concern and obsessions can be limited to three major ideas; first, those who have admired it and welcomed it warmly. Rumi is the greatest representative of this group. Second, those who have regarded death with hatred and for overcoming it have sought to overcome it by ‘having fun in the moment’ (Carpe Diem) intending to reduce the terror and fright of death. Khayam is the pioneer and complete representative of this group. The third group is composed of those who have had a realistic attitude towards death; they have viewed life and death as two sides of a coin, tried to utilize the blessings of this world and pay service to mankind; while at the same time have provided their required supply for this life and afterlife. These have neither sacrificed life for death nor have sacrificed death for life. Sa’adi is the greatest representative of this group. Manuscript profile

        In this article some Russian poets like Mikhail Alekseevich Kuzmin, Igor Vasilyevich Sourianin, Dmitri Borisovich Kedrin and Ilia Lovich Slivinski who are inspired by poets of Shiraz, Sa’adi and Hafez are introduced, and their poems with themes similar to Persian literature and aforementioned Shirazi poets’ thoughts will be analyzed. This article aims at studying the Russian poets’ approach towards Sa’adi and Hafez’s poetry, and those motifs in their poems that the Russian poets were interested in. For example, how are the moral themes reflected? In addition to ethics, have they shown any interest to the literary styles? Since some Russian poets got familiar with the style of Ghazal in Iranian poetry, have they used this style under the influence of Persian poets? Who are those Russian poets that used this style, and which Iranian poets had influenced them more? This article focuses on the period in Russian literature in which the greatest attention had been paid to the poets of Shiraz, and looks for reasons for this tendency. Some famous Russian poets of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries of the Russian literature have paid special attention to the ideas of Sa’adi and Hafez. This study reveals that there are various kinds of effects and tendencies. The reasons for the Russian poets’ interest and tendency towards the poets of Shiraz (Sa’adi and Hafez) is discussed.

        Cultural clash and identity conflicts are amongst the main effects of immigration. Cultural differences between the two countries cause cultural conflicts. Immigration may cause cultural and identity differences between parents and children. Sociologists have discussed their theories about the status of acculturation and the cultural gap of immigrants in the host society. Fiction provides a ground for representing the forms and consequences of various cultural conflicts of immigration. This paper, based on sociological theories on such concepts as integration, adaptation, assimilation, and separation, investigates the three stories of "Morgh-e Eshgh", "Bozorgrah" and "Che Kasi Bavar Mikonad, Rostam". In "Morgh-e Eshgh", the struggle between two generations leads to the endless resistance and confrontation between the first and second generation of immigrants which causes difficulties in their acculturation process. In "Bozorgrah", the immigrant who has been separated from the culture and identity of the motherland tries to join the host community by choosing assimilation and integration strategies; but the past doesn't leave him alone. He gets into a precarious and challenging situation regarding the two cultures where he must answer these questions: “does it worth to preserve the culture of the ancestors?" And “does it worth to maintain the relationships with other groups of immigrants?”. In the novel, "Che Kasi Bavar Mikonad Rostam", by choosing the assimilation strategy, the child does not follow her mother's behavior and shapes her behavior based on the values and norms of the host culture. The mother who is interested in the culture of the homeland without paying attention to the host society avoids interacting with the other-land or the other culture, and by choosing a separation strategy, raises the conflict between herself and her daughter.

        Undoubtedly today's world is the world of organizations. In any organization, although individuals are the primary agents of the organization, in fact, organizations themselves have an independent legal personality that, like any society, provides the basis for interaction between individuals and their socialization.On the other hand, today most of the Citizens' time are occupied by economic duties and presence in the workplace. Many people in this environment interact with different formal and informal groups and learn many of the values, norms and behaviors from that environment and internalize their behavior.Therefore, recognizing the increasing importance and scope of organizations and their role in the socialization of individuals, It is necessary to look at the economic and social structures of government agencies, as part of the pathology of ethics in the Islamic Iranian city.Organizations that play a large role in the citizenship ethics of their employees. Therefore, the issue of ethical training in the organization is important from both, a professional and a citizen's perspective that both of which are related to the concept of citizenship.In this study, grounded theory method was used and 25 staff members of one of the most high level governmental organizations of Iran located in Tehran were interviewed in depth.The findings show that ambiguity of ethical perception, avoidance of participation, ambiguity in role and goals and weakness of work culture are the phenomena affecting on disorganization which provide grounds for negative socialization of citizenship ethics in the city.

        In the novel "Tubaa and Manaay-e shab", the confrontation of tradition and modernity in the contemporary history of Iran in relation to the status of women is in the focus.In this paper, the female characters of this novel,especially the novel’s heroine, Toubaa, have been analyzed from the perspective of agency or passivity in relation with tradition andit has been shown that the desire for women autonomy and activism is suppressed through the processes of education and punishment.This paper is in the field of critical discourse analysis and its theoretical framework has been driven from Simone de Beauvoir’s views on femininity in her book, "The Second Sex", and the textual analysis has been done based on systemic-functional linguistics.The achievements of this research show that in this novel the contrasting pair of agency and passivity is represented in relation to the duality of tradition and modernity,and the process that Beauvoir calls "learned passivity" is institutionalized in the existence of women from childhood by the agents of tradition, in various social institutions, the most important of which is the family.Also, textual analysis indicates that this passivity has been best reflected in the language of the text.

        Abstract: The legal principle of “Everything that is known only by claimant will be heard”, briefly known as the “maa laa ya’lam” is among legal principles that helps settlement of certain legal claims. Some cases are known only to the claimant due to confidentiality. Therefore, it is impossible to present evidence at the court for such claims. The legal principle of maa laa ya’lam (transliterated as what he does not know) is used to help resolving the case and the only solution is accepting the claimant’s claim without evidence. According to the related exhibits and evidences, this is a well-proven legal principle that has been invoked by the Infallible Household of the Prophet (pbuh) and Muslim jurists have made frequent mentions of it in their books. Instances of this legal principle’s effectuality can be found in various civil rights and penal codes. For instance, in civil rights, the principle is used in such claims on marriage, menstruation and payment of various dues, and also in penal code, it is used in case of presenting proof of no adultery.

        The Iran’s national enterprise architecture framework (INEAF) has been adapted from the TOGAF framework and its architectural development method. In this framework, the use of agility paradigm is emphasized, but there is no basis for using agile methods and techniques. Based on the results obtained for the researcher, the studied sources did not indicate all the necessary solutions and features to develop an agile methodology based on the Iran’s national EA framework. According to Mr. Gill research, each modeling standard is different in scope and function, and since a modeling standard alone cannot support all the requirements of agile enterprise architecture, combining modeling standards is a suitable solution. In this paper, an agile enterprise architecture modeling methodology including ten solutions with a combination of six modeling standards ArchiMate, UML, BPMN, FAML, SoaML and BMM based on the Iran’s national EA framework is presented. The evaluation of the applicability of the proposed methodology is performed by the combined method (qualitative + quantitative). Qualitative evaluation is performed through a case study and quantitative evaluation is performed using multi-criteria decision making methods including ANP and DEMATEL. Data collection and information gathering and determining options and criteria, is performed through library studies and field methods, and using questionnaire, interview and observation tools. Based on the case study, combination of six standards by agile enterprise architecture modeling method based on the Iran’s national enterprise architecture framework is applicable. For quantitative evaluation of applicability in this paper, according to experts, four options have been proposed, which are based on the final weight: support by known tools, the ability to cover the artifacts of the Iran’s national enterprise architecture framework, efficiency or effectiveness, ease of learning or teachability.

        The present study which has been performed in descriptive-analytic way, answered to this question that “what is the role of apology and forgiveness in the sustainability of public life?” In definition of the answer it has been pointed out that Islam constantly advised the Muslims to peace and friendship, hatred avoidance and resolve disputes on the basis of moral values including apology and forgiveness. A number of treatises have been written by Islamic scholars on this basis such as Olfat Nameh, Mosadeqah Ekhvan and etc. In the culture of Ahl al-Bayt (AS), apology of the believers prevents worldly and otherworldly troublesome consequences and forgiveness is a beam of God morality, stepping into the footsteps of the prophets and apostles of God which leads to peace and harmony between the people and popularity of man with God. Apology and forgiveness is so important that according to the traditions, God apologizes the faithful in need similar to apology between brothers and guarantees the wages of such apology. Besides, this is one of the traits of pious and is not limited to faithful people. Even the Imams have apologized to the people like the Prophet Muhammad apologized to the Suffeh Companions. Apology and forgiveness acceptance plays an important role in stability of social life, as the life would be very bitter if people were criticizing for their rights and did not forget the failings of the others. Apology will be moral action if it is performed with required customs and without obligation at appropriate time and condition. Therefore, apology for good deeds and apology to someone who does not care for others is not desirable and is known as an immoral action. On the other hand, although apologizing and accepting excuses are desirable, it is immoral to force others for apology. The objective of current study is to define the importance of apology and forgiveness and encourage the stability of social life Manuscript profile

        Flexible housing presents strategies in designing in order to meet the constantly changing demands of human beings. In Islam, these needs within the framework of Islamic values resulted from heavenly names and Islamic morals form positive and negative attributes in order to define the theoretical mechanism of this approach. By overlapping Islamic values in general with the approach of flexibility, the present study tries to show that how Islamic values can be reflected in the principles of housing flexibility and determine a correct connection with the principles of Islamic architecture. In this direction, with a descriptive and meta-analytical method using library and field-study ,the Islamic values effective in housing(territory, dignification, emphasis on gathering , beauty and remembrance)that are among the most remembrances in Islam from mythical and ethical resources were prioritized with AHP systematic analysis, with the help of Expert choice software and the questionnaire of Islamic science experts. In fact the quantitative values of the criteria and sub-criteria ,determine the sensitivity of presence of each value accompanied with its sub-criteria as well as in general. At the end it was revealed that territory holds the highest criteria and sub-criteria significance and determining the hierarchy and apposition of spaces with the goal of limiting future changes has to be placed in the first place of the principles of flexible housing.

        The main subject that has been noticed in this study is “Morals of pedagogy in Islamic life style”. Excessive importance of “life style” in people’s social, cultural and political lives, and also essential consequences of these life styles have been the center of attention of scientists from different fields. Therefore scholars from various fields such as, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, anthropology, medicine and theology etc. have studied part of this concept from their own point of view. The term, itself is a product of modern world, in which, it is shaped by weakening structural variables such as, social class, choices, emotional behaviors. While in Islam, it is shaped through divine instructions, pedagogical role models and patterns which are the basis for formation of the person’s identity and existence. In the modern world, besides its features and evolutions such as, developments and improvements of technological and communicational equipment, Islam causes progress, prosperity and excellence of humanity by presenting its special life style. Current paper will study intents and purposes of pedagogy in Islamic life style, pattern and society based pedagogy in social life style, concept of responsibility and replacement of divine virtues in Islamic life style. The paper will also take a glance at the role of spirituality in upbringing of educated people and also the role of governments in formation of life style. Manuscript profile

        The movement of the workforce between the formal and informal sector can change the face of the cities and affect the development of the country. One of the main reasons for the recruitment of informal labor in various industries is to escape tax policy of the state. The study of the impact of government tax policies on the development trend of different regions of the country (especially developing countries) is significant for policy makers. In this paper, we have tried to use a generalized computable equilibrium model (CGE) to examine the impact of government tax policies on the economy of Qazvin province. The result of this study reflects the fact that the increase in taxes will lead to a strong movement of labor from the official sector to the informal sector in the province. Manuscript profile

        With the advent of the Internet and Coronavirus outbreak, e-learning environments and web-based learning, there has been a considerable growth and development in recent months and years, but this type of education faces many challenges. The most important of these challenges are the use of learning patterns, modeling student behavior, evaluating student support and feedback, curriculum planning, sequencing, and teacher support. One way to deal with these challenges is to find effective factors on accepting and improving the quality of education in learning systems, discovering rules and educational patterns, and using them to predict future outcomes. The aim of this study is to identify factors affecting the adoption of e-learning, based on the technology acceptance model. For this purpose, studies in this area were investigated. Variables such as computer self-efficacy, quality of content, system support, user interface design, technology tools and computer anxiety as factors affecting adoption of e-learning system were extracted. According to them, the conceptual model of this research was developed. In order to evaluate the model and relationships between variables, a questionnaire was provided to the users of e-learning system in Qazvin University of Medical Sciences. The results of data analysis by using structural equation modeling have approved authenticity of all hypotheses excluding the impact of technology tools on the acceptance of e-learning system. Findings of this research can help educational managers of university and related instructors with this system to encourage students making optimum use of the system by providing the necessary fields for the imposition of effective factors.

        One of the most important tools for entrepreneurial growth and development is the existence of a culture that supports entrepreneurship. In this study, the cultural barriers of entrepreneurship were identified and the entrepreneurial culture and failure culture in the entrepreneurial society were evaluated. This study was conducted on the basis of qualitative and quantitative mixed research. The statistical population included the entrepreneurs of Khorasan Razavi Technical and Vocational Training Centers, which was determined by the purposeful sampling method of snowballs due to the dispersion of the community. The results of the qualitative section showed that entrepreneurs are facing cultural barriers such as lack of culture of creativity, rejection of failure, negative attitude to risk, distrust of women's empowerment, the existence of patriarchal culture in society and organizations and parental opposition to girls' entrepreneurial activities. Also, the results of the quantitative section showed that the rate of failure in the studied community is very high and entrepreneurs agree to give the failed people a chance again. In general, the analysis of qualitative and quantitative results shows that the cultural subsystem in the entrepreneurial ecosystem is not in a good situation and the existing culture is not supportive of entrepreneurship and even prevents the emergence of entrepreneurship in many cases.

The issue of rights of the child have such great significance that many international documents focus on them and a convention under the name of the Convention on the Rights of the Child has been assembled upon basis of which children in need will receive more protection. Also, anything that would threaten the personal future and reputation of the child needs to be reexamined, because by publishing content in cyber space a proof and document of a an event is created in an endless space in which the deletion of said data is almost impossible; therefore the preservation of dignity and protection of children’s rights in cyber space is a fundamental issue that needs special examination. Thus in this study which is conducted in an analytical-descriptive manner, the focus is on the subject of the right of the children in cyber space by relying on the laws regarding electronic trade in Iran, Convention on the Right of the Child and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights with focus on credibility of data and electronic records.

        The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between attachment styles (secure, insecure) and psychological well-being, mediated by the role of cognitive flexibility. This research was a correlational study. A total of 272 participants were selected by means of multistage cluster sampling among Shiraz university undergraduate students. The data were gathered by using 3 measures: Adult Attachment Scale (Collins & Reid,1996), Scale Psychological Well-Being (Ryff, 1989) and Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (Dennis & Vander Wal, 2010). Using Pearson's correlation coefficient and path analysis with software, SPSS 20 and Amos 22, the data were analyzed. The results of path analysis indicated that the model had a good fit to the data. The secure attachment styles had a significant positive direct effect on psychological well-being. And insecure (avoidance, ambivalence) attachment style had a significant negative direct effect on psychological well-being. Also attachment style had predicted psychological well-being stronger by mediating cognitive flexibility. The results of the prediction showed that, when people with a secure attachment style have more cognitive flexibility, they experience a higher psychological well-being. Manuscript profile

        Child labor is one of the social ills of today's society. This study aimed to investigate a structural model of unconditional self-acceptance, rejection sensitivity, future expectations, and childhood experience care in working children. A correlational design using structural equation modeling was conducted. The statistical population of this study include the working child who lived in Yazd and Isfahan cities in 2020. A total of 160 children was selected using available sampling methid and answered to Chamberlin and Haaga’s unconditional self acceptance cale, Downey and Feldman’s sensitivity to rejection scale, Mcwhirter’s future expectations scale, and Bifulco, Brown and Harris’s childhood experience of care questionnaire. The findings showed that unconditional acceptance had a negative and significant effect on sensitivity to rejection (P<0.05). Childhood experience of care had a negative and significant relationship with future expectations while being positively and significantly related to sensitivity to rejection. Likewise, rejection sensitivity had a significant and negative effect on future expectations (P<0.05). The results did not support the direct effect of unconditional acceptance on future expectations.

        Every one of distinguished poets of Persian literature has been master in some types of literary. In such a way that they have changed that type of literary into a good standard for other literary works. Furthermore, their works as a mother text have attracted poets, writers, and other artists. One of this great poets , “Sa’adi-e Shirazi “, is as a certain literary Persian master. Also many poets are influenced by Sa’adi’s style in the way that they versify. One of the contemporary sonneteers who is more influenced by Sa’adi in his style of poems, selecting the terms, composition, content, and the type of his glance is ‘Mohammad Hosein Rahy Moayeri’. This article tries to investigate Rahy Moayeri’s impression from Sa’adi in ode based on Gerard Genette’s transtextuality theory . This theory surveys all correlations between one text and other texts as well as it characterizes the quality of the influence of “pretextuality” and “hypertextuality” and analyzes the aspects of a text. In result, what we can understand includes something such as: Rahi’s attitude to Sa’adi’s ode, the use of terms and combinations in an un explicit and implicit way, and the processing of the subject and content, the type of Rahi’s look into Sa’adi’s poets in different topics, and the quality of imitation or the changing of looking into Sa’adi’s contents . These are compiled based on analytical- descriptive way and library method. Manuscript profile

        Over the past three decades, research has focused on how and under what conditions latecomers have been able to become major producers of new technologies, such as renewable energy, and make technological catch-up in this area. This is emphasized for developing countries because, on the one hand, the greatest growth in energy demand in the coming years will be in these countries, and on the other hand, it is a green window of opportunity for other developing countries to learn and work towards catching-up in these areas. In this research, from the perspective of global innovation networks, the technological approach was investigated by analyzing the structure and evolution of the solar energy innovation network using patent citation analysis. For this purpose, patents in this field were extracted and cleared from the Derwent Innovation over a period 1980-2017. Then, a citation network was formed and the topological structure and country-level indicator were examined using social network analysis methods. The results showed that countries that were able to gradually increase their absorption capacity by joining the global innovation network and moving in the path of technology of leading countries by increasing citations to their patents, could able to be producers of knowledge and granted high quality patents which have been increasingly cited by other countries. These countries found a special place in the network as intermediaries for the diffusion of technology and succeeded in technological catch-up. Manuscript profile

        The present study was conducted to investigate a causal model for identifying the prognosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder based on mindfulness, control and cognitive flexibility in women. The present study was a descriptive correlational study in which the assumed relationships between variables were investigated using the path analysis method. In this model, the mindfulness variable was considered as an exogenous variable, and cognitive control and flexibility were considered as mediating variables and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder as an endogenous variable. The statistical population included all women aged 18 and over living in Shiraz, of which 150 were selected as a sample group by random sampling. The tools used in this study included Yale Brown obsessive-compulsive disorder questionnaires, Freiburg mindset (short form), and cognitive control and flexibility. The results showed that mindfulness predicts the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder inversely and significantly (β = -0.35). Cognitive flexibility (β = -0.24) and cognitive control (β = -0.23) were also negative and significant predictors of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms. Mindfulness was a positive and significant predictor of cognitive control (β = 0.80) and cognitive flexibility (β = 0.60). Finally, cognitive flexibility and cognitive control were able to mediate the role of exogenous and intrinsic variables. Play a child. Accordingly, mindfulness can reduce the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder by affecting the two variables of cognitive flexibility and cognitive control. Mindfulness predicts the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder inversely and significantly. In addition, cognitive flexibility is a negative and significant predictor of symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder; In addition, both cognitive flexibility and cognitive control variables could play a mediating role between exogenous and endogenous variables.

        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.

The results of the normality test showed that there is no condition for the equality of the variances and the data are not normal. Therefore, in order to perform the test, the non-parametric tests were used, because the conditions related to the parametric tests were not available. For performing the test of the mean difference between the education and using the digital (electronic) signature, regarding the fact that the education level was in the form of categories, and it was higher than two categories, the one-way variance analysis test was used. To compare the means with each other and to determine the level of the meaningfulness of the differences, Tookie Test was used. Regarding the point that all the persons are inside two categories from the viewpoint of the job backgrounds, the T-Test of the independent groups is used in order to review the job backgrounds of the people. Eventually, the final result of the test of the hypotheses showed that considering all the variables, excluding verifying the identity and being undeniable in the process of job units, the effect of utilizing the electronic signature in juicing up the job in two institutes is too much, and the effect of these two ingredients is lower than the average.

        In this study, we examine a supply chain of several products and four levels including suppliers (domestic and foreign), relief organizations (Red Crescent Organization), demand points (patient wards in the hospital). The Quantity Flexibility Contract provides coordination for inventory management by determining the order quantity between the relief organization and the internal supplier. Due to the many shortcomings, limited construction time and lack of facilities for mass production and increased costs, the use of outsourcing can increase the expected sales of the chain and also provide faster relief in times of crisis. Therefore, by presenting a mathematical model to minimize costs and times, we try to provide relief to the injured at the lowest cost and in the fastest time. By solving the model, we found that among the various parameters, the objective function is more sensitive to the demand parameter and domestic production capacity than other parameters, which shows the necessary accuracy of planners in this field to these parameters in crisis situations.

        The aim of this study was the role of impulse control, irritability and attachment style of mothers in predicting the symptoms of attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder in children. The present study was a descriptive correlational study. 120 mothers of elementary school students (65 girls and 55 boys) who were studying in Tehran in the academic year of 2019- 2020 and had symptoms of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder were selected using the purposive sampling method. Data were collected using the Connerss Parent Questionnaire (1999), the Buss and Plomine Irritability Questionnaire (1984), the Lynham Impulse Control Scale (2006), and the Collins and Read Attachment Styles Questionnaire (1999). To analyzing data, was used Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The results of regression analysis showed that the control of impulse, irritability and attachment style of mothers by explaining 58 percent of the variance of the total score of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder symptoms can predict the criterion variable. These findings indicate that therapists and psychologists pay close attention to the psychological characteristics of mothers in the effectiveness of treatment for the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children.

        Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC) has been used for various purposes such as power system stability improving and increasing of loadability, loss reduction, line impedance compensation or power flow control. Fast switching of TCSC from capacitive mode to inductive mode and vice versa following the fault and clearing of it respectively, is an essential key for improving transient and even dynamic stability of power system which have not been considered significantly. In this paper a new algorithm for fast mode-switching and control of TCSC in less than half cycle is proposed for changing capacitive to inductive mode and vice versa in less than half cycle. Simulation results show that the proposed method is faster and more reliable in different conditions than the existing method and can be used more effective in transient and dynamic stability improvement.

        Separating colored point sets is an interesting problem in computational geometry with application in machine learning and pattern recognition. In this problem, we are given a geometric shape C and two point sets P and Q of total size n as red and blue points, respectively. Now, we must separate red and blue points by this shape such that all the blue points lie inside it and all the red points lie outside it. In the previous work, we have some algorithms for rectangle and wedge separability but we do not have any algorithm for separating by a triangle and separating by a triangle with a fixed angle such as right triangle. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for right triangle seprability. In this algorithm, we use sweep line technique and introduce some events and process them. So, we can report all separating right triangles in O(nlog n) time. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, it is clear to everyone that climate change has posed a huge threat to human welfare. Hence, the growth of demand for electricity as well as the dependence of power sector to the fossil fuel sources has converted the electrical energy sector into one of the most important areas suitable for applying the restrictions and implementation of the solutions provided to mitigate greenhouse gases. Enacting different incentive-based support schemes pursuing the promotion of renewable energy sources along with emission reduction in power generation sector is treated as one the main provided solutions. In this paper, from various points of view, such as environmental issues, power sector investors’ profit and the surplus of electricity consumers, the effect of renewable penetration rate growth under implementation of incentive-based policies is evaluated in a long-term generation expansion planning framework by employing the concept of Bergson-Samuelson social welfare function. To achieve this aim, first, a comprehensive generation expansion planning model, faced by a generation company, is proposed, as the effect of one on the most popular policies, namely emission trading system, is incorporated into the model. As a mixed integer nonlinear programming problem, the model is solved through two different scenarios using the GMAS optimization package. Then, regarding the obtained optimized expansion strategies, aforementioned viewpoints are assessed. Manuscript profile

        The performance of Networks-on-Chip is highly dependent to the incorporated routing algorithms. In recent years, many routing algorithms have been proposed for 2D and 3D Networks-on-Chip. In 3D integrated circuits, different devices are stacked through silicon via in which the vertical connections are vulnerable to manufacturing process variations. Therefore, because of the high impact of faulty links or nodes on the performance of a Network-on-Chip, utilizing a fault-tolerant routing algorithm is of great importance especially for 3D Networks-on-Chip in which the vertical links are more vulnerable. In this paper, a new fault-tolerant routing algorithm called FT-ZXY is proposed to be used in 3D Networks-on-Chip. This routing method is capable of tolerating multiple vertical faulty links in addition to single horizontal faulty links without using any virtual channels thus incurs a very low hardware overhead. Experimental results reveal that the proposed routing algorithm has more reliability compared to the previous designs while incurs less latency and requires lower area and power overheads.

        In this paper, a new method for resolution enhancement of single document images is presented. The proposed method is example based using an example set of low-resolution and high-resolution training patches. According to the Bayes rule, one function is considered as the likelihood or data-fidelity term that measures the fidelity of the output high-resolution to the input low-resolution image. As well, three other functions are considered as the regularization terms containing the prior knowledge about the desired high-resolution document image. Three priors which are fulfilled by the regularization terms are bimodality of document images, smoothness of background and text regions, and similarity to the patches in the example set. By minimizing these four energy functions through the iterative procedure of asynchronous sequential gradient descent, the HR image is reconstructed. Instead of synchronous minimization of the linear combination of these functions, they are minimized in order and according to the gradual changes in their values and in the updating HR image. Therefore, determining the coefficients of the linear combination, which are variable for input images, is no longer required. In the experimental results on twenty document images with different fonts, at different resolutions, and with different amounts of noise and blurriness, the proposed method achieves significant improvements in visual image quality and in reducing the computational complexity.

        Microgrid (MG) supplied its local load with distributed energy resources at the low voltage system in distribution networks. Microgrid can be used in parts that are not allowed access to the electricity network with low investment cost. The used islanding MG in this research includes wind turbine and photovoltaic systems as renewable energy sources and hydrogen storage system (HSS). This paper proposes a new energy management strategy (EMS) for MG in the presence of the HSS considering the power uncertainties of renewable energy sources. The objective of proposed EMS is to minimize the operating costs of batteries, HSS and the costs associated with excess and undelivered energy considering the supplied load constraints. The considered technical constraints in this paper contain renewable energy sources limits and battery and HSS constraints. HSS includes electrolyzer (EL), hydrogen tanks and fuel cell (FC). Demand response program (DRP) is used to flat the load curve and optimal operation of MG. The proposed model on a MG is been implemented in GAMS software. The simulation results show that the operation cost of MG reduced by using of HSS and DRP. Manuscript profile

        Due to the shrinking of feature size, reduction in supply voltage and technology scaling, the sensitivity to radiation induced transient faults of digital systems has dramatically increased. Soft error causes transient distortion in circuit operation and is expected to become very important in combinational logic with increment of the circuit frequency. In this paper, we introduce an optimized method for hardening of combinational logic circuits against soft errors. In this method, first we have found the most sensitive nodes of the circuit by observability computations. Next for optimizing power-delay product and area, the reliability of the circuit has been computed and the number of the necessary nodes for hardening will be identified. In the next step, three different hardening methods including time redundancy, Schmitt trigger and transistor feedback have been carried out on standard test circuits as our vehicles. The comparison of three method results show that the hardened circuits with Schmitt trigger have the most cumulative critical charge and the least power-delay product and lead to an optimum hardening. Moreover, the simulation results approve the optimized hardening is obtained from suitable selecting the number of required nodes considering observability concepts and reliability computations together with the best node hardening method. Monte-Carlo simulations also approve the performance of the proposed method against process variations. Manuscript profile

        Due to the stochastic nature of renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EV) load demand, large scale penetration of these resources in the power systems can stress the reliable network performance, such as reducing power quality, increasing power losses, and voltage deviations. These challenges must be minimized by optimal planning based on the variable output from RES to meet the additional demand caused by EV charging. In this paper, a novel method for optimal locating and sizing of RES and EV charging stations simultaneously and managing vehicle charging process is provided. A multi-objective optimization problem is formulated to obtain objective variables in order to reduce power losses, voltage fluctuations, charging and demand supplying costs, and EV battery cost. In this optimization problem, the location and capacity of RES and EV charging stations are the objective variables. Coefficients which are dependent on wind speed, solar radiation, and hourly peak demand ratio for the management of the EV charging pattern in low load hours are introduced. GA-PSO hybrid improved optimization algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem in five different scenarios. The performance of the proposed method on IEEE 33-bus system has been investigated to validate the effectiveness of the novel GA-PSO method to optimal sitting and sizing of RES and EV charging stations simultaneously Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as an important field in information and communication technologies. Despite the progress of networks and communication technologies, the development of IoT has encountered some challenges mainly with regard to computation power, battery lifetime and memory of mobile devices. In order to overcome these challenges, mobile cloud computing has been raised which uses the cloud storage space and computation power to extend the capabilities of mobile devices. In this regard, some of application’s components are selected to be offloaded to the cloud in order to optimize the execution time and energy consumption of application. Since the mobility has an important effect on the acquired condition of the access network and the quality of the connection, the mobility should be considered while selecting components for offloading. Although a number of mobility-aware offloading approaches has been already proposed, these works suffer from the lack of an appropriate mobility-model, ignorance of the fault-tolerance capability and use of only coarse-grain offloading. In order to address these issues, we propose a mobility-aware offloading scheme which uses the user mobility Markov chain and the fault tolerance capability in order to optimize the offloading decision. Evaluation results show that our proposed method significantly outperforms the existing alternatives, reaching respectively up to 75 and 65 percent enhancement in terms of the execution time and the energy consumption.

        Multiplication is one of the important computations required for different signal processing applications especially regarding voice and image. However, the multipliers as digital circuits are susceptible to different environmental effects such as noises. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for designing a 32-bit floating-point multiplier which can operate in two operational modes, normal and fault-tolerant, dependent to the environmental conditions. In the fault-tolerant mode, by reducing the normal precision and accepting a negligible error in the output, a portion of preliminary circuit is released which is used for redundant computations in order to detect or correct errors. This way, two multiplier architectures with error detection or correction capability are proposed that have a beneficial reliability against different types of permanent and transient faults. The implementation results show that in the fault-tolerant mode, maintaining 13 bits instead of 23 bits for the mantissa will be enough to achieve an error detecting multiplier, and maintaining 11 bits will be enough to achieve an error correcting multiplier with acceptable area and power overheads (from 12% to 26%) while their precisions are enough for most applications.

        In this paper, we propose a self-learning single image super-resolution. In our proposed method, adjacent pixels information in smooth area is used. Low and high-resolution pyramids are built by applying up-sampling and down-sampling techniques on input image, as training data. In training phase, we apply support vector regression (SVR) to model the relationship between the pair of low and high-resolution images. For each patch in the low-resolution image, sparse representation is extracted as a feature vector. In this paper, in order to reduce the edge blurring effects, we first separate edge pixels from non-edge pixels. In the smooth area, because of the similar colors around the each pixel, the center pixel value is determined by considering the reconstructed adjacent pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed method is quantitatively and qualitatively outperform the competitive super-resolution approaches. 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

        One of the major challenges and constraints in designing very large integrated circuits is the power dissipation of transistors. Reversible logic is one of the new paradigm in reducing the power consumption of digital circuits in the quantum computing field. In this paper, an improved design of a parallel 5-bit parity preserving reversible signed multiplier circuit is presented. Reversible circuit designs with parity preserving property are an important issue for the implementation of fault tolerant systems in nanotechnology area. To design of the proposed multiplier, the reversible full adder circuit using 5×5 reversible HBF block with low quantum cost, and the 4×4 reversible HBL gate, with parity preserving property are proposed. The structure of the multiplier circuit consists of two parts of the partial product generation (PPG) and multi-operand addition (MOA). This structure is based on Baugh-Wooley and Wallace-Tree algorithms, which results in improved speed of operation in a 5-bit multiplier for signed digits. The proposed circuits are optimized based on important evaluation issues such as quantum cost, garbage outputs and constant inputs, and also are compared with the existing circuits. The main goal is to reduce the quantum cost, the number of constant inputs and garbage outputs in the design of the proposed multiplier circuit. The results of the final evaluation and comparison shows that the proposed multiplier in this study is improved by 26% in quantum cost, 9% in garbage outputs and 9% in constant inputs relative to the best existing designs.

        Since the advent of cryptographic chips, the side channel attacks have become a serious threat to cryptographic algorithms and security systems. The side channel attacks use weaknesses in the chip implementation instead of using the computational weaknesses of the algorithms. The scan chain that is widely used in the chip test is one of these side channels. To avoid an attack using a scan chain, one can remove the scan chain after the construction test, but this method makes it impossible to test the post-construction and updating the circuit. Therefore, in addition to preserving the testability of the scan chain, it is necessary to look for a method to prevent the side channel attacks. In this article, a method is proposed to identify the attacker and prevent his scan-based attacks. In this way, by the user authorization, the corresponding output will be generated and the attacker's access to sensitive information is prevented. The proposed method, with an area overhead of less than 1%, power overhead around 1% and a negligible delay overhead retains testability and can prevent differential and signature-based scan attacks better than previous state-of-the-art techniques.

        This paper proposes a preventive and probabilistic–possibilistic framework for day-ahead scheduling of Electric Vehicles (EVs) parking lot and distributed generation in a microgrid. The suggested scheduling is performed in normal and emergency conditions when a natural phenomenon appears and the microgrid is disconnected from the upstream network. Furthermore, the uncertainty of EVs number in a parking lot is considered by Z-number as a probabilistic-possibilistic model. Moreover, the uncertainties of photovoltaic units generation, wind turbine output power, market price, and load demand are modeled by Monte Carlo as a probabilistic method. Furthermore, natural phenomena occurrences are modeled by considering multifarious scenarios according to when the phenomenon unfolds and how much it takes. In the suggested framework, the operation of parking lots is based on the uncertainty and EVs charging/discharging schedule. The operational cost in normal condition and load shedding cost in addition to operational cost are considered as the objective functions of the proposed structure. To evaluate the performance of the suggested structure, the modified 33-bus IEEE distribution network is employed. Manuscript profile

In this paper, a new reliability model based on Markov process is proposed for a magnetically controlled reactor (MCR). In the modeling process, first the MCR structure is divided into two distinct parts, and then the extracted Markov models are combined based on frequency/duration technique.Since temperature changes play a significant role in changing the failure rate of electrical equipment, the effect of temperature changes in accordance with the MIL-217F standard has been considered in the proposed model and its impact on the probability of MCR operating modes has been evaluated. The simulation results have shown that in normal temperature conditions, the control system and at high temperatures, reactor windings can have the greatest impact on the availability of MCR. Comparison of reliability indices at different temperatures has shown that under different temperature conditions, different components will affect the availability of MCR. Therefore, in this condition, the measures needed to improve the reliability of the reactor can be different. This fact highlights the importance of considering the effect of operating temperature on reliability assessment as well as planning for preventive maintenance to improve the performance of reactive power sources.

        VLSI technology is currently dealing with a serious challenge, as the exponential growth of density in VLSI and CMOS chips has reached its limit. Power dissipation in VLSI chip refers to heat generation, which is a real barrier against traditional CMOS technology. Irreversible logic leads to problems such as energy dissipation, heat generation, information loss and slow computations. We need a new technology for solving these problems. Using reversible logic can help solve this problem. In next generation of optical computers, electrical circuits and wires will be replaced by several optical fibers and these systems will be more efficient because they will be cheaper, lighter, and more compact without interference. Based on optical computations, several optical switches have been proposed for future applications. One of these switches is the Mach-Zehnder switch. Its behavior and the reversible circuits, which can be made with this switch is studied in this article. Finally, we introduce and design three new all-optical reversible gates named NFT, SRK and MPG, which are effective in designing all-optical reversible logical circuits such as flip-flops and other all-optical reversible sequential circuits. We also simulate one all-optical reversible circuits implemented with Mach-Zehnder switch and provide simulation challenges and solutions to overcome these challenges. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, the issue of vulnerability of machine learning-based models has been raised, which shows that learning models do not have high robustness in the face of vulnerabilities. One of the most well-known defects, or in other words attacks, is the injection of adversarial examples into the model, in which case, neural networks, especially deep neural networks, are the most vulnerable. Adversarial examples are generated by adding a little purposeful noise to the original examples so that from the human user's point of view there is no noticeable change in the data, but machine learning models make mistakes in categorizing the data. One of the most successful methods for modeling data uncertainty is Gaussian processes, which have not received much attention in the field of adversarial examples. One reason for this could be the high computational volume of these methods, which limits their used in the real issues. In this paper, a scalable Gaussian process model based on random features has been used. This model, in addition to having the capabilities of Gaussian processes for proper modeling of data uncertainty, is also a desirable model in terms of computational cost. A voting-based process is then presented to deal with adversarial examples. Also, a method called automatic relevant determination is proposed to weight the important points of the images and apply them to the kernel function of the Gaussian process. In the results section, it is shown that the proposed model has a very good performance against fast gradient sign attack compared to competing methods. Manuscript profile

        Network-on-chip is a router-based paradigm that determines the path of packet passing from the source to destination by a routing pattern through simplified protocols of the public data communication network. Sometimes, it is impossible to send packets from source to destination due to the communication problems caused by network elements in NoC such as routers and faulty links. In most cases, fault-tolerant algorithms select a reliable path using definite criteria. Therefore, in this paper, a reliable path is selected using a multi-criteria decision making technique through an adaptive approach according to the density status received from the adjacent nodes along with the path length so that when a failure occurs, a reliable path with similar QoS features is replaced by rating different paths among network nodes. The weight path selection strategy in NoCs to detect the minimal output port and multi-criteria decision making approach with VIKOR method has improvement over the basic routing algorithm in terms of delay and throughput. The algorithm hardware overhead has a reasonably low cost that maintains scalability for large scale On-Chip networks implementations. Manuscript profile

        One of the main goals of distribution network operators is to reduce the cost of operating the network and improve profit. In this paper, the problem of siting and determining the size of energy storage batteries are studied. The constituent components of the objective function of the placement problem include the profit from the operation of the distributed generation unit, the profit from the reduction of grid power losses, the cost of installing an energy storage system, and the profit from the reduction of energy purchased from the upstream network. The model used for positioning is based on the probabilistic behavior of solar radiation, energy consumers, and electricity market operators. To model the stochastic nature of the output power of solar power plants, the probability density function has been used, and to model the load and price of electricity, the scenario method has been used. The simulations were performed using MATLAB software. The proposed method can manage the generation of solar power plants using the siting and management of charge and discharge of batteries.

        Classification is one of the most important tasks in data mining and machine learning; and the decision tree, as one of the most widely used classification algorithms, has the advantage of simplicity and the ability to interpret results more easily. But when dealing with huge amounts of data, the obtained decision tree would grow in size and complexity, and therefore require excessive running time. Almost all of the tree-construction algorithms need to store all or part of the training data set; but those algorithms which do not face memory shortages because of selecting a subset of data, can save the extra time for data selection. In order to select the best feature to create a branch in the tree, a lot of calculations are required. In this paper we presents an incremental scalable approach based on fast partitioning and pruning; The proposed algorithm builds the decision tree via using the entire training data set but it doesn't require to store the whole data in the main memory. The pre-pruning method has also been used to reduce the complexity of the tree. The experimental results on the UCI data set show that the proposed algorithm, in addition to preserving the competitive accuracy and construction time, could conquer the mentioned disadvantages of former methods.

        In imprecision-tolerant applications such as image processing and machine learning, imprecision can be tolerated because of the nature of the application itself or the limitation of human senses. By using the approximate computation in these applications, significant power, delay, or area reductions can be achieved. In this paper, two approximate full adders and an approximate adder, with low error are proposed. The effects of die-to-die (D2D) process variation on the threshold voltage of approximate circuits have been evaluated. For evaluating the accuracy and the variability, these approximate full adders have been used and analyzed in the ripple carry adder structure, image Sharpening and image Smoothing algorithms. In terms of power-delay-product (PDP), accuracy, and area for uniformly distributed inputs, the proposed approximate full adder 1, exhibits the best performance, and the proposed approximate full adder 2 and the proposed approximate adder, show the best peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) for real images.

        Integrating renewable resources to provide local load has created a concept called microgrid. With the widespread introduction of microgrids, energy management and system utilization and resources in the electricity market are important tasks of microgrid management. In this paper, the problem of microgrid utilization is modeled taking into account economic, technical and uncertainties related to power consumption, wind speed and solar radiation in electricity market conditions. One of the most important issues in the electricity market is the discussion of the participation of units in real price conditions. In this paper, a framework for the exploitation of electricity and the consumption of controllable loads through integrated utilization of distributed energy sources of uncertainty is presented from a consumer perspective. The optimization problem is a two-step stochastic linear programming that minimized the cost of microgrid operation and expected cost of consumers considering the consumer’s requirement for controllable loads in the desire time interval and distribution company constraints that solved by using Salp swarm optimization algorithm. RBT and IBR tariffs are employed for modeling retail power market for better reflection of wholesale price volatility and avoid of the concurrent use of consumers. In this method price announced to the consumers by retailers only is limited specific later hours instead of the entire operation period. In this condition any timing of controllable loads need to price forecasting, while this forecasting have some uncertainties. These uncertainties are modeled using Monte Carlo method for stochastic price variable scenario generation. MATLAB software is employed for simulation and verification of the proposed method.

        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

        Today, with the increase in data production volume, attention to machine learning algorithms to extract knowledge from raw data has increased. Raw data usually has redundant or irrelevant features that affect the performance of learning algorithms. Feature selection algorithms are used to improve efficiency and reduce the computational cost of machine learning algorithms. A variety of methods for selecting features are provided. Among the feature selection methods are evolutionary algorithms that have been considered because of their global optimization power. Many evolutionary algorithms have been proposed to solve the feature selection problem, most of which have focused on the target space. The problem space can also provide vital information for solving the feature selection problem. Since evolutionary algorithms suffer from the pain of not leaving the local optimal point, it is necessary to provide an effective mechanism for leaving the local optimal point. This paper uses the PSO evolutionary algorithm with a multi-objective function. In the proposed algorithm, a new mutation method that uses the particle feature score is proposed along with elitism to exit the local optimal points. The proposed algorithm is tested on different datasets and examined with existing algorithms. The simulation results show that the proposed method has an error reduction of 20%, 11%, 85%, and 7% in the Isolet, Musk, Madelon, and Arrhythmia datasets, respectively, compared to the new RFPSOFS method.

        Fault detection and tolerable control of wind turbine increases its reliability and availability. One of the electrical components of the wind turbine with a high error rate is the power converter. In this paper, a new method for fault tolerant (FT) control of the wind turbine back-to-back converter based on Dual Feed Induction Generator (DFIG) is presented. When a open circuit fault occurs in each of the IGBTs of the wind turbine converter, the performance of the converter is distorted and part of the current signal of each leg of the converter is lost. The classical controller cannot completely correct this change in current behavior, and for this reason, it has an abnormal performance. As a result, power generation will be accompanied by many fluctuations. In order to compensate, a new method based on sliding mode control is presented in this article. First, when an error occurs, the fault detection system identifies the faulty leg, and after reconfiguring the hardware, the proposed control system based on sliding mode control replaces the classic control system and switching operation. The fault detection method presented in this article is based on artificial neural network and it was developed based on matching with the functional parameters of the wind turbine. The proposed FT method is evaluated using a hardware simulator in a laboratory loop with a 90 kW DFIG generator. The experimental results show the proper accuracy of the fault detection method and on the other hand, the proposed FT method was able to compensate the open circuit fault of the IGBT.

        Unfalsified adaptive control is a new approach in supervisory control that ensures the selection of a stabilizing controller from a control set based on the system input-output data. A prerequisite for ensuring stability is the existence of a pre-designed controller set that contains a stabilizing controller. The supervisor selects the controller based on the cost function calculated with the system input-output data. In this method, the control system performance is restricted to the controllers of the control set. In this paper, the controller set update is performed by introducing the concept of performance falsification along with the stability falsification of the active controller. To falsify the performance of the controller set, the structure of the model reference is proposed to evaluate the performance of the control system. In case of performance falsification, a new controller is designed and added to the controller set based on system data and without using any model. To design the controller, a linear matrix inequality problem is solved. In this paper, no system model is used, and the presented method is completely model-free and data-oriented. The simulation results show the performance improvement of the proposed method compared to other methods in a standard robust adaptive benchmark system. Manuscript profile

        With an inseparable view to contemporary literature, urban public spaces are developed in buildings with flexible uses. Accordingly, sociable spaces such as cafes, as semi-public spaces, can provide social qualities in themselves. Now, the idea of Oldenburg's third places, which need a neutral platform for gathering and social interaction to be realized, can be developed in this place by taking some measures. The present study aims to identify the elements influencing the physical and social content of the third place and make their realization in the cafe space feasible by providing strategies. Therefore, using a qualitative paradigm and causal reasoning, it is attempted to provide a conceptual model to relate the common features of these two themes. Finally, it is concluded that improving the flexibility of furniture and its arrangement, providing rules and standards according to the norms of society, providing basic facilities to invite audiences with special conditions, providing easy access in terms of time and place, making space memorable to invite future customers, avoiding luxuriousness, providing the atmosphere considering the surrounding social context, and creating an intimate environment as home, can contribute to the emergence of third place.

        The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy on binge eating and body image concerns in sufferers of binge eating disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest with experimental and control groups. The population of the study consisted of all the clients who were referred to Shiraz weight loss clinics from January to March 2018. Among the patients diagnosed with binge eating disorder, 30 clients were selected using purposive sampling method and administered Binge Eating Scale and Body Image Concern Inventory as pre-tests. They were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 8 sessions of 90-minutes acceptance and commitment therapy, and were tested again. The results showed that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test in the level of binge eating disorder symptoms and body image concerns in this group. This study showed that acceptance and commitment group therapy is effective in reducing binge eating and body image concerns in sufferers of binge eating disorder. Manuscript profile

        Fault occurrence in real operating systems usually is inevitable and it may lead to performance degradation or failure and requires to be meddled quickly by making appropriate decisions, otherwise, it could cause major catastrophe. This gives rise to strong demands for enhanced fault tolerant control to compensate the destructive effects and increase system reliability and safety in the presence of faults. In this paper, an approach for estimation and control of simultaneous actuator and sensor faults is presented by using integrated design of a fault estimation and fault tolerant control for time-varying linear systems. In this method, an unknown input observer-based fault estimation approach with both state feedback control and sliding mode control was developed to assure the closed-loop system's robust stability via solving a linear matrix inequality formulation. The presented method has been applied to a linear parameter varying system and the simulation results show the effectiveness of this method for fault estimation and system stability.

        Women constitute half of the global population. Currently, one of the main needs of females in society is to be present in urban spaces with security. In this regard, it is of great importance to improve the quality of urban spaces for the presence of all members of society, especially women. Therefore, the permeability of urban spaces is one of the most important factors enabling the continuous presence of women in urban spaces. Enhancing the permeability of urban spaces will improve security, thereby leading to the significant presence and the establishment of social interactions in the public area. The present research is a descriptive-analytical study carried out to understand the relationship between the presence of women and security provided by permeability in Dowlat Abad and Hezar Dastgah residential towns in Tehran. To this end, 309 women live in Hezar Dastgah residential town, and 289 women live in Dowlat Abad residential town. Those who have had a residency history of at least two years are randomly selected (the sample size was estimated using Cochran's formula), and obtained data are analyzed using SPSS 22 software. The results indicate that the residents of Hezardastgah residential town experience significantly higher permeability in the public spaces compared to those of Dowlat Abad residential town. While about 52.2% of the residents of Hezar Dastgah residential town have the feeling of security, 37% of the residents in Dowlat Abad residential town have this feeling. Moreover, examining the relationship between security provided by permeability and the presence of women indicates that factors such as visual control and accessibility and legibility are the most important factors playing a role in providing security, followed by spatial integrity.

        Permeability is one of the main parameters in the study of hydrocarbon reservoirs which are needed to be measured correctly. The conventional methods are well testing and direct permeability measurement on the drilled core samples. Absolute air permeability of core plug samples is often measured in the laboratory which is cheap and fast. The absolute air permeability of a rock sample depends on the flowing mean pressure and type of gas and varies with changing them. Hence, measuring liquid permeability of fully saturated core sample or determination of corrected gas permeability which is equivalent to the liquid permeability is essential. This needs to spend enough time and budget. Klinkenberg investigated the effect of gas slippage in porous media and measured absolute permeability of different gases in various mean pressures. He yielded an equation for correcting absolute gas permeability and defining equivalent liquid permeability. The aim of this study was to present some practical relations for determining Klinkenberg corrected gas permeability of carbonate rocks by using their absolute air permeability, which has not been reported yet. For this purpose, Klinkenberg corrected gas permeability of 541 core plugs, with various petrophysical properties from different carbonate formations in the Southwest of Iran was measured. Exponential relations were obtained with very good correlation coefficients. Considering vast petrophysical properties of the studied samples, the yielded equations can be used to predict and determine equivalent liquid permeability of carbonate core samples of Southwest of Iran from their absolute air permeability Manuscript profile

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

        The comprehensive urban plan is prepared in order to determine the development directions and formulate a plan for the city, as well as to meet its needs based on the forecasts and goals of urban development. These projects have had different results due to the fact that they are based on the models and experiences of other countries and have been prepared at a high cost, but for various reasons have not been able to achieve their goals. The purpose of this article is to analyze the current situation of the new city of Hashtgerd and to implement it by predicting a comprehensive plan to achieve or not achieve its goals. The research method in this research is based on the applied purpose and based on the descriptive-analytical nature. Its implementation is done by anticipating the objectives of the master plan. To identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Hashtgerd new city, library resources and documents and opinions of experts and city officials have been used. Thus, each of the four SWOT factors is identified, analyzed, and in the next step, the SWOT matrix is ​​formed. According to the analysis, despite the number of cities in the Tehran region, there are only 5 new cities. This indicates that the new city of Hashtgerd has not been successful in attracting the population of the mother city of Tehran; Because the rapid growth of unplanned cities is more than new cities.

        The goal of this research is investigate the position of MOOCs in breeding students' moral responsibility with an emphasis on actor- network theory. The present research is philosophical and conceptual and linguistic analysis and transgressive logical analysis. Documents analyzed included views of experts, books, background studies and related research in the field. Findings of the research showed; based on the theory of actor- network and the simultaneous function of man and technology and their interactions between each other, MOOCs is not a neutral tool and can has a dual position is constructive and unconstructive in breeding students' moral responsibility. On the one hand, through changing the role of the teacher and the student, the application of interactive approaches in teaching, the development of specific competencies and the development of educational justice have provided a basis for breeding responsibility. On the contrary, due to the non-presence, unconditional acceptance of all applicants, crowded classrooms, the existence of false identities and the possibility of unknowing learners have reduced student responsibility. Based on the theory of actor network and the intermediate, symmetric and network look at humans and artifacts, it can be concluded the technology of MOOCs through changing the nature, interests and intentions of the actors provides background for training their moral responsibility or irresponsible. But this lackage can be filled by interacting with the learning environment and using more than multimedia technologies. Manuscript profile

        Human being has been naturally created in such a way that has the possibility and desire to behave good and evil. This is while in education, and especially in childhood education, the good is central and evil has been marginalized. Concentrating on the good and ignoring the evil in education does not seem realistic. The inclination to evil behavior and recognizing wickedness and error in childhood requires an appropriate education. In this study, by expressing reasons for the necessity of recognizing evil and a glimpse of the verses of the Quran, the desire to behave good and evil is recognized in childhood. Considering the concept of evil and the concept of childhood as a spectrum makes sense of talking about evil in childhood. Hence, an alternative approach is proposed to childhood education, called error-tolerant education. Error-tolerant education attempts to recognize the error and wickedness in childhood to provide the possibility of an active encounter to error and thus, facilitate the path of education and truth-seeking for children. “Recognizing the child’s evil inclinations”, “encountering error actively in childhood”, and “maximum welcoming of children’s error” are some of the components of error-tolerant education in childhood Manuscript profile

        Inappropriate behavior and odd recreational activities by tourists may have direct or indirect negative impact on the destination. Reducing the negative effects of tourism on the environment is a priority and main concern. Accordingly, a responsible environmental behavior is important and necessary while achieving sustainable tourism development. This study was conducted in the spring of 2016 to analyze the social responsibility of rural tourists. The methodology was analytical-descriptive, using the library and field study (questionnaire). The study population comprised 228 tourists from 14 rural areas of Khaf. Data were collected using a stratified random sampling method with a questionnaire, which was based on the 5-fold elements of social responsibility in the literature. The reliability of the measurement tool was (0.869) based on Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The results and findings of this study suggested the sample stayed higher than the favorable average number of 3 in terms of social responsibility component. In other words, tourists visiting these villages feel more responsible towards the different aspects of rural attractions. Manuscript profile

        Today, the role of the tourism industry has been accepted as a category in creating fields of interaction between the countries of the world. Tourism in developed and developing countries is one of the basic approaches in creating sustainable employment, increasing per capita income, and diversifying sources of income. Various indicators affect the development of this industry and the number of tourists attracted by countries. Due to the importance of this issue, this study examines the effect of travel and tourism competitiveness indicators on foreign tourism demand in the Middle East and North Africa. The panel data model was used to measure the impact of these indicators for 15 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) for the years 2011-2019, whose information is available in the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report. According to the results of this study, the three variables "air transport infrastructure", "labor market and human resources" and "price competitiveness" had the highest impact on attracting foreign tourists to the surveyed countries.

        Participating in tourism activities is the undeniable right of all society members, including people with disabilities. However, sometimes factors related to people with disabilities or inappropriate social environment for acceptance of these people as community members prevent them from participating in tourism activities. In this regard, this study sought to identify such factors (under the title of behavioral factors) and investigate their role in the development of accessible tourism for people with physical disabilities, using a mixed-methods approach in two stages of qualitative (identifying the behavioral indicators and factors through interviews with experts in the field of tourism and disability) and quantitative (designing a questionnaire based on the indicators obtained from the qualitative stage and distributing them among tourists with disabilities in Tehran). The first stage was conducted using the content analysis method and Maxqda2018 software. The partial least squares method and SmartPLS3 software were used at the second stage. The results of the study indicated that the two main categories of behavioral factors, i.e., "Personal factors" (personal characteristics of people with disabilities and their perception of interaction with the environment) and "interpersonal factors" (public responsibility towards people with disability, community education, the dependency of people with disability on another person's assistant along with the development of positive feelings in these people) affected the development of accessible tourism for people with physical disabilities.

        Apart from its positive effects, rural areas’ tourism development would exert some tangible and intangible negative influences on the host community. For instance, some tourists destroy and damage the rural areas’ infrastructure and tourist attractions in different ways such as engraving remembrance words, breaking down trees, etc., which, in the long term, may negatively affect the relationship between the host community and the visitors of the tourism destination villages, leading to a decrease in community’s tourism reception and social tolerance. Therefore, this study sought to analyze the relationship between tourists’ vandalistic activities in rural areas and the local community’s tourism reception and tolerance in the five tourism villages of Neyshabour. To this end, a descriptive-analytical methodology was applied, using library resources and surveys to collect the required data. The study’s population comprised 92 heads of families living in the studied villages. The results suggested that the most frequent vandalized activity conducted by tourists was polluting the village and its surroundings with wastes and the use of alcoholic drinks and drugs. Scores of the locals’ tourism reception and tolerance were, except one case (tolerance of social anomalies induced by tourist visits), reported above average. Moreover, the results of correlation analysis indicated a significant reverse correlation between tourism reception and the locals’ conflict with tourists. Also, the analysis of the effect of tourists’ vandalistic activities on the local community’s tourism reception and social tolerance showed that the significance level was less than 0.05, indicating that the regression model used for the analysis was significant for both dependent variables.

        The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on difficulties in emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group. In this study, 30 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder syndrome were assigned to psychology clinics in Rasht in 2021 as a research sample in two experimental and control groups. Groups were assessed with questionnaires Padua obsessive-compulsive disorder by Sanavio (1988), Gratz & Roemer (2004) difficulties in emotional regulation, and Dennis & Vander Wal (2010) cognitive flexibility. After 10 sessions of 90 minutes of cognitive-behavioral therapy for the experimental group, participants again answered the research questionnaire. Findings showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly reduces the difficulties in emotion regulation (rejection of emotional responses, difficulty in performing purposeful behavior, difficulty in controlling impulse, lack of emotional awareness, limited strategies, lack of Emotional state) and increased cognitive flexibility (P<0.001). Due to the problems that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have in emotional and cognitive dimensions, it is necessary to pay more attention to these cases in the treatment process.

This paper aims to study the social and cultural impacts of this intervention on the social life of Mowlavi Street in accordance with the stakeholders’ needs, situations, and opinions. The main methodology of this research is based on qualitative approach and phenomenological method using in-depth interview and focus group techniques. Accordingly, relying on the theoretical framework of livability. several concepts such as sustainability, sustainable transportation, quality of life and safety have been brought forth. The findings indicate that the displacement of Mowlavi BRT line can increase street safety; however, this requires a high level of organizational cooperation of Traffic Police on this street. On the other hand, one-way to two-way street conversion which is also aligned with the local residents’ and businesses’ social and economic benefits in Harandi and Takhti neighborhoods, can increase the transportation demand for Mowlavi Street.

        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.

        Cities, urban spaces beyond independence, also have a special identity personality. While the city is a place where urban interactions lead. People also have a sense of citizenship towards their city. In other words, what leads to the construction of the city is not a collection of huge buildings and parks, but it is the people themselves who, with their special characteristics, create their urban identity and become citizens. It can refer to topics such as (time, place, ethnicity, beliefs, customs, common language, dialects and local coverings) (Nofel et al., 2009: 57-69). One of the main and important elements in promoting the meaning of the city is the neighborhoods of the city. For many years, neighborhoods have been an integral part of the urban environment. Therefore, a large part of the semantic and identity of the city is the responsibility of the neighborhoods (445: 2000, Eben Saleh). Neighborhoods can spread a sense of identity and belonging to the environment among residents. In this research, the research method is descriptive-analytical. Part of the information is in the form of a library and the other part is obtained through a field study. Also, statistics, sources and survey methods will be used to analyze the study neighborhood. Following the completion of the above questionnaires and by analyzing the data obtained from field surveys and existing documents regarding urban identity in the mentioned neighborhood, the method of analyzing its data is done in two ways. In order to calculate its reliability and validity, Cronbach's alpha method is used. Correlation tests will be used to analyze the data. Manuscript profile

        Today, most of the electrical energy needed by countries is provided by using fossil fuels. Due to the fact that fossil energies are non-renewable and will bring environmental pollution, it is necessary to use renewable sources to provide electricity. In many studies conducted so far in this field, the random behavior of the load and new energy sources have not been taken into account, which makes the results obtained with this assumption not have enough accuracy, and due to the lack of careful examination, usually in these designs, the values The obtained are more than the required amount, which causes the cost of the system to increase. It shows the simulation results of the created index. It should be noted that Monte Carlo simulations do not produce definitive results, but the results that these simulations provide are associated with probability distributions. This proposed method uses this feature to overcome one of the basic shortcomings of the models described in previous papers (most of these papers only dealt with the effects of PHEVs without considering the probability of such effects occurring). The research carried out in this paper analyzes the performance of power devices under the high penetration of PHEVs and photovoltaic electricity and presents new methods to facilitate the integration of these two technologies in current networks.

        Software Defined Networking (SDN) is one of the technologies with most promising role in digital transformation. Dynamic structure of SDN can adapt to ever changing nature of future networks and their users. The important impact of this technology on intelligence, agility, management and control of current network devices as well as upcoming communication technologies reduces expenses and creates innovative businesses. Although, service providers are very interested in deploying SDN to transform their static infrastructures to a dynamic and programmable platform, they do not consider it as one of their priorities and still depend on traditional methods to manage their network. Therefore, this study highlights the factors affecting the acceptance of SDN architecture and its application by the national telecom operators, and proposes a comprehensive and new paradigm model using a systems approach and Grounded theory (Strauss and Corbin model). This innovative model is provided by systematically reviewing the theoretical foundations and conducting in-depth interviews with managers and experts in telecom industry. During the modeling process, more than a thousand initial codes were determined. Finally, based on the opinion of experts on these codes, a total of 73 open codes, 12 axial codes and 6 main categories have been extracted. Manuscript profile

        Every year, an enormous amount of 2.5 million tons of plastic enter the oceans. On land, plastic also accumulates in landfills, beaches and other sensitive ecosystems around the world which has been a huge concern through the years. Recent research has been conducted to show us that one type of worm may help us solve the huge problem of plastic waste. Scientists have discovered that the larvae of a type of worm, Mealworm called Tenebrio Molitor, can include styrofoam and other polystyrenes as well as polyethylene in their diet. Not only do worms go on a styrofoam diet, they say, but the microorganisms in their gut can break down plastics during their digestive process, turning it into carbon dioxide and eventually use it as the nutrients that their bodies need. Biodegradable materials disposed by worms also seem to be used as fertilizer to fertilize and impregnate agricultural soil. We are looking for solutions to implement this discovery in a way that eliminates plastic waste therefore can be a solution to clearer oceans, rivers and the entire environment from the inevitable consequences of plastic accumulation. In this review study, narrations from articles related to the biodegradation of polyethylene, polystyrene and polypropylene have been reviewed. Manuscript profile

        Venture capital is a tool for funding innovative and knowledge-based companies. The degree of importance that venture capitalists place on negotiable items is one of the challenges associated with this type of investment. Furthermore, investors' flexibility is a crucial component of the VC investment process. The purpose of this research was to identify and rank what venture capitalists consider negotiable with startups. For this purpose, the negotiable items were identified through a literature review and then the validity of the questionnaires was evaluated and approved by experts. Consequently, the data of 26 experts in the field of the venture capital industry in Iran is collected through two questionnaires on a 5-point Likert scale. Reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha. Therefore, the research method was a descriptive survey based on the nature and data collection, and in terms of purpose, it was a practical development. Finally, the data were analyzed and ranked using multi-criteria decision-making algorithm (Shannon’s entropy and TOPSIS) based on the degree of importance and flexibility attributes. According to the findings of this study, these negotiable items fell into the descending order based on two criteria including importance and flexibility: preferred stock, board control (control rights), pro-rata rights, investment amount, valuation, performance indicator, liquidation preference rights, ownership stake, information rights, vesting, anti-dilution rights, tag-along rights, drag-along rights, option pool, dividends, participation rights, pay to play provisions and redemption rights (repurchase rights).

        In this article first the use of computer security models and its benefits are discussed in a novel way. Then, while briefly introducing the space of computer security encounters in the form of ontology, for the first time, three perspectives in the study of patterns in this field have been identified and distinguished from each other. These three perspectives include the view of secure models, the view of security models, and the view of the framework and system to security models. The first and third perspectives are briefly explained and the second perspective is studied in detail from the perspective of the organization of patterns, including the five types of organization. The five types mentioned include software-based lifecycle organization, logical-level organization-based organization, threat-based classification-based organization, attack-based classification-based organization, and application-based organization. In this type of introduction of patterns, the audience acquires a comprehensive view of the discourse of computer security patterns and acquires the necessary knowledge to make better use of these patterns. Finally, the analysis and idea of this research is presented in the form of introducing a new type of organization in order to facilitate the proper use and addressing of patterns. In this idea, it is stated that the existing categories are mostly static and forward-looking and do not have the necessary dynamism and backwardness, and the idea of covering all stakeholders and security ontology can have this feature and, in addition, include agile patterns as well. .

        In this research, in order to investigate the scope of the effect of two types of fire, Flash Fire and Jet Fire, and to determine the individual and collective risk related to the gas tanks of South Pars refineries, the quantitative risk assessment method was used using PHAST software. To obtain reproducibility for the inlet and outlet valve flange leakage scenario, all connections in the path were examined separately for each scenario and their reproducibility was calculated. The results related to the gas tanks of South Pars refineries showed that among the leaks, the leakage related to the inlet valve flange and the outlet valve flange, according to their location (close to the car parking lot and vehicle traffic road as well as the traffic route) people and buildings around it) is more important. The individual risk contour diagram is the result of the combination of two scenarios, inlet valve and outlet valve, which shows the amount of deaths per year within the specified limits. This means that the collective risk of the area under investigation is high. Considering the conditions in the South Pars Refinery in terms of regional weather conditions, wind speed and direction, prevailing wind direction, the location of the buildings in the station and its population distribution, we come to the conclusion that in the event of a leakage incident, the consequences It is in the form of release of flammable gas and two possible types of fire, Jet Fire and Flash Fire.

        The current study was conducted to investigate the structural relationships between attachment styles and major depressive symptoms in adolescents with the mediation of cognitive flexibility and distress tolerance. The research method is a correlation type, which was conducted through structural equation modeling on 352 adolescents aged 13-18 years old, who were selected by available sampling from the adolescent population of the 1st district of Tabriz city. Data were collected using the Collins and Reed attachment style scale, Kotcher depression scale, Dennis and Vanderwaal cognitive flexibility questionnaire, and Simmons and Gaher distress tolerance scale. Research data were analyzed using path analysis. The findings of the research indicated the optimal fit of the hypothetical research model. In addition, the results showed that distress tolerance can be considered as a mediating factor in the relationship between secure and insecure avoidant attachment styles with adolescent depression symptoms, on the other hand, the results showed that cognitive flexibility can be the relationship between secure attachment styles to mediate insecure avoidance and insecure anxiety with adolescent depression symptoms. The results of the research showed that distress tolerance and cognitive flexibility can mediate the relationship between attachment styles and the symptoms of major depression in adolescents. The results of this research can be used to identify the causes of adolescent depression and formulate therapeutic, interventions, including teaching adolescents the components of distress tolerance and cognitive flexibility.

        Today, it is necessary to have livable characteristics for cities and especially metropolises. Therefore, the present study tries to evaluate the livability of the urban areas of one Karaj municipality region. The research method is evaluation-comparative and the collection of information based on library information and documentary and field data has been carried out in the form of a survey in each neighborhood by distributing and completing questionnaires and using the ELECTERE model. Sustainability in livability and neighborhood ranking are specified. A statistical sample of 385 was selected by random method using Cochran's model. The livability of neighborhoods has been evaluated in four dimensions. that in total, the northern neighborhoods of the region (Area 1) in addition to neighborhood 1 (located in Area 2) have shown the highest level of sustainability in livability. From the examined dimensions, it can be concluded that the localities of the region in terms of stability and livability from top to bottom were as follows: 5, 1, 4, 8, 6, 9, 7, 2, 11 , 10 and 3. In total, the northern neighborhoods of the region (area 1) in addition to neighborhood 1 (located in area 2) have shown a higher level of sustainability, the most important reasons for which are pointed out: the extent of the green area, the low level of air pollution, better access to facilities. And more services and green space and predetermined design and orderly texture, low density, more job opportunities and higher social level of these neighborhoods. Also, a lower level of stability was observed in the southern neighborhoods (zone 1). The most important reasons for the low stability of the roads and sidewalks and very high density and narrow roads and lack of various facilities and services, low security of residents, high unemployment and low income and constructions without permits and properties without documents and He pointed out the presence of incompatible uses in addition to the residential fabric and the lack of green space, the existence of various types of pollution and dilapidated fabric..

        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.

        Today, with the growing demand for hybrid electric vehicles in microgrids, electricity supply, environmental issues, and rescheduling are among the challenges of microgrids that must be solved and suitable solutions provided. To overcome these challenges, this paper introduces a new multi-objective optimization model, which in the first objective, minimizes the total operation cost of the microgrid, and in the second objective, improves the reliability index by reducing the amount of energy not supplied. Due to these two objectives, a multi-objective evolutionary seagull optimization algorithm is used to find the optimal global solutions. In this regard, hybrid electric vehicles and demand response programs are used to smooth out distribution nodal prices and reduce CO2 emissions. The 69-bus distribution network has been used to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method. Manuscript profile

Therefore, increasing citizenship education is an inevitable necessity for any organization. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of the new group reality therapy approach and the approach based on acceptance and commitment on citizenship education among the employees of Bushehr city.The current research method is a semi-experimental type with a pre-test, post-test and control group design. The statistical population was all the employees of Bushehr city in 1400. The sample of the research was 45 employees who were selected by the available sampling method and were randomly placed in experimental groups (acceptance and commitment and reality therapy) and control. The citizenship education questionnaire (Tabesh, 2013) was used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that reality therapy and an approach based on acceptance and commitment increased the citizenship education of the experimental groups compared to the control group (P<0.001). The results of the Bonferroni post hoc test showed that the effect of the approach based on acceptance and commitment on seeking participation, responsibility, self-confidence and citizenship education was significantly more than the education based on reality therapy. It is concluded that both reality therapy methods and acceptance and commitment are effective for improving employee citizenship education and these interventions can be used to increase organizational productivity.

        Today, studying as one of the important sources of obtaining information is not only an individual practice that can continue due to personal interest and taste, but also social necessities, the historical and cultural situation of the society, the needs of the social system, individual interests and motivations, possibilities and abilities. system and availability of books are decisive factors in reading. Paying attention to the study becomes more important when it is related to a certain age group and is related to the needs and desires of that group. The present research is devoted to investigating the types of literary tendencies of teenagers in Isfahan city in 2017. The importance of the issue is determined from the fact that the adolescent age group is in the stage of mental and physical maturity and it is very important to address their needs and desires in order to shape their personality and identity. This research has been done in a combined method of sequential qualitative-quantitative type. The findings of the qualitative part show that the causal conditions such as around adolescence, the family's cultural consumption and socialization have turned the study into a temporary and problematic matter, which is based on cultural-socio-economic obstacles and the issue of adolescence and in the intervention conditions. The expansion of media, books along with movies and the promotion of information literacy of teenagers leads the literary tendencies of teenagers towards translation with genres of excitement, humor and fantasy. This issue, considering the chosen strategy of teenagers for studying, has consequences such as a lifestyle based on questioning. , fragmented identity or youth passivity leads. Quantitative method was used to deepen the data analysis of the first stage. Therefore, the collection of quantitative data was done by setting up a questionnaire derived from the qualitative method, in the form of 6 survey and using the multi-stage cluster sampling method, according to the education regions of Isfahan city, among high school 384 students/youths. In the quantitative part, the hypotheses were tested with spss software. Then, the structural hypotheses of the research were tested in structural modeling using amos software. The findings of the research show that the amount of reading is most related to the independent variable of attitude to books, adolescent characteristics, and then socialization by the family. In terms of tendency towards exciting, humorous and imaginative genres, the main variables affecting attitude to reading are adolescent characteristics. and the needs of adolescence. And the only independent variable that has an impact on translation is the characteristics of teenagers. Other variables have the same effect on writing and translation. Manuscript profile

        Urban development with a social justice approach is one of the issues that has been neglected in many urban development plans. The transfer of the development right is considered one of the new ways of monitoring land development. The transfer of the development right is important in terms of its position in reducing inequality and ensuring the individual rights of the owners. The development right transfer approach is actually a plan to reduce physical development in areas that the community or planners want to protect. This research aims to examine and implement the approach of the right to transfer development and explain some of the principles of important rules in the perspective of Islam, and its relevance and influence in urban development, and offers suggestions for the realization of social justice using this approach. The current research is an applied research that uses the descriptive-comparative research method to analyze and examine the data. To describe and analyze the data, the comparative literature review method has been used. Based on this, while gathering the topics of Islamic social justice and the method of transferring the right to development, the relationship between the aforementioned method and the realization of social justice is analyzed through the Delphi technique by receiving 5 rounds of opinions from 30 experts. As a result of this research, the principles of social justice include eight principles; Equality in public rights, the lack of objectivity of the position and position of people in the administration of justice, inequality in individual-social acquired rights, compliance with the requirements of time in receiving tariffs, equal access to public services, non-privatization of property and public interests, the benefit of all in public affairs, The lack of immunity of rulers and officials from justice was explained. And also compared to the basics of the right to transfer development method, it was found that the principles of equality in public law, the lack of objectivity of the position and position of individuals in the implementation of justice are completely consistent with the method of the right to transfer development. The principles of inequality in individual-social acquired rights, compliance with the requirements of time in receiving tariffs, equal access to public services, non-privatization of property and public interests, benefit of all in public affairs, lack of immunity of rulers and officials from justice are largely consistent. Or you can use the method of transfer of development right in order to achieve the intended goals of that principle. Manuscript profile

        This study aims to provide a conceptual model to understand the factors affecting the resistance to the adoption of blockchain technology in the tourism industry by combining and developing previous models. This research used survey method using questionnaire tool to collect information and also used structural equation modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach for statistical analysis. The findings of this research first develop the theoretical and theoretical relationship between concepts such as perceived value and resistance and secondly examine and study this relationship in the context in which managers and activists of the tourism sector operate. In the first stage, the conceptual model of this research is based on the model presented by Walsh et al [1]. The discussion about the research findings shows that the benefits of substitution in the minds of managers and activists of the tourism sector are much stronger than the costs of substitution of blockchain technology. Also, the simplicity of the infrastructure is one of the key factors that has a high impact on understanding the benefits of replacement as well as the perceived value. Examining the role of perceived functional advantage and perceived image in the formation of alternative benefits is one of the innovations of this research in the research related to the application of blockchain technology in the tourism sector. So it can be concluded that in order to reduce resistance to blockchain technology, managers should emphasize more on the advantages of this technology. Manuscript profile

        Lakhshk deposit is located 28 km northwest of Zahedan and southwestern of Sistan suture zone. The main outcrops in the study area are Eocene schists consisting of calc-schist and quartz schist. These rocks metamorphosed under greenschist facies grade and were intruded by Oligocene rhyolitic and dacitic dikes and granitoid. The gold-antimony mineralization is structurally controlled by a NE–SW fault zone and shear zone, and hydrothermal alterations were mainly occurred in the contact zones of granitoid and calc-schist units. The high-grade gold mineralization (3.5 g/t) is spatially related to the intense sulfidation and silicification hydrothermal alteration zones in the inner parts of the zone as well as ductile-brittle (microfractures, fine veins/veinlets) deformation. The ore mineralogy is simple and includes pyrite, arsenical pyrite, stibnite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, gold, electrum, goethite, and stibiconite. The study of fluid inclusions on gold ores quartz shows the homogenization temperature in quartz-sulfide veins/veinlets with mineralization between 200 to 330 °C with a salinity of 8 to 13 wt.% NaCl equiv., which is compatible with the mixing and dilution process. Based on the results of geology, mineralogy, and fluid inclusion studies, gold mineralization in Lakhshak gold deposit is of orogenic type. Manuscript profile

        <p>The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the performance of cognitive profile functions in children with attention Deficit/hyperactivity disorder and special learning disorder. The statistical population of this descriptive and comparative causal research is all male students (ages 8-12 years old) who were studying in Tabriz city (1399-1400) and by using the purposeful sampling method, 30 students for Each group was selected. The research tools were cognitive flexibility (CFI), sensory processing (SPM), child and adolescent emotional regulation (ERQ-CA) and working memory questionnaires by Daneman and Carpenter. In order to analyze the data, descriptive indices and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the performance of the studied groups and their subscales (F=263.946, P&lt;0.001). Although children with hyperactivity showed a weaker performance in the general scales of cognitive flexibility, sensory processing and emotional regulation of re-evaluation, on the other hand, children with learning disorders also showed an obvious weakness in the general variable of working memory and They showed suppressed emotional regulation. These results have provided important implications in the field of effective therapeutic interventions and correct selection of training and rehabilitation programs to improve executive functions.</p> Manuscript profile

        mussel-inspired chemistry has become a powerful tool for the rational design and synthesis of hydrogels with modified properties and applications due to their unique functionalities. Hydrogels are cross-linked three-dimensional polymer networks with high water content and flexible structure, and due to their mechanical and chemical similarities with biological tissues, as well as the existence of mechanical and electrical properties, they are used in various fields of medical engineering, soft robotics, Electronics and environmental science have many applications. Despite the extensive progress in this field, conventional hydrogels still face many problems, such as the lack of general strategies to program the chemical/physical properties and the difficulty in meeting some specific application requirements, especially in the diverse and complex working environment that limit their application. severely restricts. Therefore, the modification of hydrogels according to different purposes can lead to their more and better use in various industries. Adhesive hydrogels are gaining interest for biomedical applications due to their high adhesion, tunable structure, high water content, and biocompatibility. Meanwhile, the modification of normal hydrogels with the help of oyster-inspired chemistry, such as the use of dopamine and tannic acid, can give unique properties to the gels and their application in many fields, including biomedical engineering, electronics, stimuli and sensors. Wider wearable. Our aim in this review article is to investigate the hydrogel made with the help of mussel-inspired compounds. Manuscript profile

        This study aims to analyze the governance patterns in Iran before and after the Iran-Russia wars, and their relationship with the environment. Two major governance patterns and two different rationalities in the exercise of power, in terms of method, scope, and perspective, are discussed. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and documents, the governance process is examined from the perspective of Michel Foucault's governmentality framework, and the relationship between the environment, politics, and the formation of a new rationality in governance in Iran is explored. The research question is: "How did the formation and establishment of new governance mechanisms and techniques in Iran after the Iran-Russia wars take place, and what impact did it have on the relationship between the environment, politics, and the formation of new governance innovations in Iran? " The study argues that "with an awareness of the failure of governance based on the monarchy system, reformists gradually exposed society to the power of control and guidance of the population by creating new techniques and institutions, and established new governance innovations. " In general, two strategies can be identified in the administration of the territory after the Iran-Russia wars: the traditional strategy of the monarchy based on divine-political obligation and the strategy of new governance innovations based on new techniques, each leaving a different form of the relationship between the environment and politics in terms of the mode of exercising power, the scope of power, and the control perspective.

        Arbitrbility means the ability to bring a case to arbitration in any country in the world. The sources and the requirements that these sources explain the principles of arbitration. One of these sources is good morals. Good morality, which is one of the irrelevant compulsory sources, exists in the legal rules of all countries. In Iranian law as in European law, it is forbidden to refer a case to arbitration on legal questions in accordance with good morals. But the definition of good morals and its examples are not the same in all countries. A question in Iranian law may not be arbitrable due to an obstacle to good morals, and vice versa in European law. Therefore, given the value and importance of arbitration, it is very important to look at this basis. In the law of European countries, legal doctrine and case law, based on judges' opinions and legal interpretations, have attempted to limit the standard of good character and other above principles in the arbitration of lawsuits so that more lawsuits can be referred to arbitration.

        The purpose of this article is to identify and present a high-risk investment model for insurance institutions in order to establish a risky insurance investment fund. The insurance industry is one of the strongest and most important supporting institutions of financial institutions, through risk coverage and investment of technical reserves in financial and real assets and the implementation of profitable economic activities, it plays a very important role in the dynamics of financial markets. Creating a decision-making model in a fuzzy environment provides this possibility for decision-makers so that they can more easily comment on the evaluation of options and determining the importance of decision-making criteria. In this article, it has been tried to identify and introduce the most important factors and effective factors of venture capital (VC) using the technique of fuzzy network analysis process in the insurance industry. The data needed for the research has been collected through in-depth interviews with a number of experts and researchers in the insurance industry, as well as a questionnaire. Due to the lack of independence and the existence of dependence between the effective factors, the method of fuzzy network analysis process was used to identify the possible dependencies between factors and measure them for the development of the VC model, and the results were prioritized with the method of non-fuzzy network analysis process. Is. The findings of the research show that operating cycle indicators, total asset turnover ratio, total investment return, loss factor, asset-liability ratio are ranked first to fifth among VC indicators. VCs help the insurance industry establish internal accounting rules and standardize their financial statements. In other words, VC support modifies the "hard" and "soft" information required for insurance.. Manuscript profile

        Lithium-ion batteries, as one of the most advanced and suitable rechargeable batteries, have received considerable attention in recent years. Polymer electrolytes are considered as one of the main components of the battery and good substitute for liquid electrolytes in the next generations of batteries. The polymer electrolytes used in the battery may be damaged or lose performance due to the alternating movement of ions or physical damage. To avoid the damages caused by this phenomenon, the use of self-healing polymer electrolytes is suggested as a appropriate solution. The ability of self-healing in the polymer electrolytes makes them start to repair themselves as soon as a craze or crack occurs on their surface, without the need for any stimulus, and even after repair, they are able to recover all their properties. This ability comes from the microstructure and type of chemical bonds of self-healing polymers. In general, the self-healing polymer electrolytes used in batteries are divided into two main categories: polymer electrolytes based on reversible covalent bonds, and polymer electrolytes based on non-covalent supramolecular bond type. Considering the importance of this issue, in this research, a review of self-healing polymer electrolytes in the next generation of lithium batteries will be done. Manuscript profile

        This study was conducted with the aim of determining the predictive power of agreeableness, marital empathy, and marital forgiveness on marital satisfaction in married women. In this investigation, employing the correlational methodology of the regression type, an assemblage of 840 wedded women domiciled within the geographic confines of Lorestan province, was chosen through the multi-stage cluster random sampling. The Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale, the NEO-FFI Questionnaire, the Marital Empathy Scale, and the Marital Forgiveness Scale were used as standard questionnaires for data collection. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS software. The coefficient of determination with a value of 0.373 in the multiple linear regression test showed that the model explains 37.3% of the changes in marital satisfaction. The standardized coefficients showed that agreeableness, empathy, and forgiveness are significant predictors of marital satisfaction. The results indicate that marital satisfaction is positively affected by agreeableness, empathy, and forgiveness, so a one-unit increase in agreeableness, empathy, and forgiveness corresponds to an increase of 0.101, 0.252, and 0.433 units in marital satisfaction, respectively. Forgiveness played the most important role in marital satisfaction, followed by empathy, and then agreeableness. In conclusion, in order to increase the satisfaction of married couples, especially women, it is recommended to hold workshops focusing on increasing knowledge of agreeableness personality trait and strengthening positive traits such as empathy and forgiveness.

        The form and path of development in most of the current backward countries of the world is unfortunately an incomplete sampling of advanced and developed countries, and sometimes the regulations are only translated from one language to another without any change. It is certain that the traditional culture of a backward third world country cannot accept the model made for the culture of others. The current research is in response to the question: What function and role can culture play in the progress of countries that are lagging behind in the development process? The hypothesis of the current research is that the progress and sustainable development of a society depends on the acculturation of the members of that society and until the cultural patterns of the countries agree with the development components, the development of these countries will not be possible. Efforts should be made to reform the culture of backward countries in line with the development components. The current research is descriptive-analytical. As a result, fundamental changes in the path of development for any society must be in harmony with the culture and traditions of that society, and all cultural factors should be helped for its correct implementation, otherwise the path of progress and development in these countries, even though it is excellent, is doomed to failure.

        In this paper, the problem of sensor fault estimation and designing of a distributed fault-tolerant controller is investigated to guarantee the leader-follower consensus for homogeneous singular multi-agent systems for the first time. First, a novel augmented model for the system is proposed. It is shown that the proposed model is regular and impulse-free unlike some similar research works. Based on this model, the state and sensor fault of the system are simultaneously estimated by designing a distributed singular observer. The proposed observer also has the ability to estimate time-varying sensor fault. Then, a distributed controller is designed to guarantee the leader-follower consensus using estimation of state and sensor fault. The sufficeient conditions to ensure the stability of the observer dynamic and consensus dynamic are drived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The gains of observer and controller are computed by solving these conditions with MATLAB software. Finally, the validation and efficiency of the proposed control system for the leader-follower consensus of singular multi-agent systems exposed to sensor faults is illustrated by computer simulations. The simulation results show that the propsed control strategy deeling to the sensor falut in the singular multi-agent systems is effective. Manuscript profile

        The demand for rare earth elements has increased significantly due to potential industrial applications such as catalysts, magnets, battery alloys, ceramics. However, the separation and recovery of rare earth metals are very difficult due to their similar chemical properties and ionic radius, so progress in the separation process of these elements will bring many global benefits. Among the improved methods, the membrane technique has received much attention as a stable method with easy operation in the separation of such metals, and several membranes have been designed for separation. This article provides a summary of the types of membranes in the separation of rare earth elements in terms of extraction performance, transfer efficiency, and membrane stability. Polymer inclusion membranes are a new generation of non-liquid membrane that is made by a simple method of casting a solution containing liquid phases (carrier, plasticizer /modifier) and base polymers. Polymer inclusion membranes due to the possibility of simultaneous extraction and back-extraction, high selectivity, excellent stability, reusability, simple applicability, relatively low cost, and low energy consumption, it provides a great advantage in both the separation and purification of metal ions. Therefore, in this study, an overview of the PIMs reported in the studies to date is presented and the performance, permeability and stability of the membrane are discussed according to the base polymer, carrier, plasticizer and modifiers used.

        Abstract: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of inhibitory control cognitive rehabilitation on hot executive functions: risky decision making and time perception in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research design was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population includes male and female students between 7 and 12 years old in elementary schools of Tehran in the academic year 2020-2021 who were suffering from attention deficit/ hyperactiv ity disorder. Among them, 30 students were selected by purposeful sampling method and randomly placed in the experimental and control groups. The SNAP-IV Questionnaire, the Computerized Task Risk Analogue Balloon (BART) and the Time Reproduction Computer Task were used to collect information. For data analysis, using SPSS24 software, variance analysis method with repeated measurements was used. The results showed that there is difference in the perfor-mance of the experimen tal group and the control group in the components of: risky decision making and time perception for long-term intervals (P<0.05). However, compared to the control group, no significant difference was shown between the time reproduction component for short-term intervals in the experimental group. According to the results structured games aimed at enhancing interference inhibition and responding can improve hot executive functions, risky decision making and time perception (long-term intervals) in students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

        A lot of research has studied couple satisfaction, but little attention has been devoted to the nature and measurement of flourishing couple relationships. On the other hand, current scales that measure relationship quality are lacking in sensitivity at the upper end of the assessment continuum which hinders progress towards understanding couple flourishing and measuring it. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to translate and study the factorial structure adaptability of The Couple Flourishing Measure (CFM) among Iranian samples. The statistical population of the present study consisted of married teachers of Zanjan province in 2022 among them, 429 teachers were selected by convenience sampling method. The findings of the parallel analysis, MAP test and the exploratory graph analysis in this study indicated a single factor structure of the CFM. Moreover, the outputs of the bootstrap analysis to check the stability of the factor structure confirmed the unidimensionality of the CFM. Analyzes based on the Item-Response theory confirmed the fit of the items with the graded response model and the slope of the items indicated the discriminating power of all questions which shows that all items had information. Furthermore, the analysis based on the Item-Response theory proved that all three forms of the CFM, respectively from long form to short form, provide the highest amount of information which indicated the approp-riateness of short forms among the samples studied too. The fit indices, Alpha statistic, composite reliability and AVE index in all three forms of the CFM were proper both in the whole sample and by gender. The square root of AVE index in the whole sample was equal to .826 which indicated the establishment of discriminant validity on the construct level. The results related to the invariance of the factor structure based on gender in the long form in four models: configural, metric, scalar, and strict models showed that the invariance is maintain-ed in all models. The couple flourishing variable had significant relationships with other variables studied in this research which indicated the convergent and divergent validity of the CFM. The findings of the present study proved that the CFM has good reliability and validity and is compatible with the cultural norms of Iranian society. Manuscript profile

        <p>Considering the prevalence of infertility and the increase in child adoption in Iran, and given the needs of children and adolescents for having appropriate families, this research intended to identify the psychological problems faced by Iranian families adopting children and offer solutions for them to adapt themselves to these problems as a step in enhancing the well-being of the adopted children and of the families adopting them. The descriptive method and the systematic grounded theory introduced by Strauss and Corbin were used in this study. In the first step, interviews were held in 2022 with 13 adoptive families to identify their problems. In the second step, interviews were held with experts.They offered their proposed solutions for the adaptation. The research was done by observing ethical principles and validation, using MAXQDA2020. Four concepts were extracted in the problem identification step: the legal-psychological problems, and the problems related to the growth of the child in an environment of social harms, to attitude and worldview, and to resilience of the adoptive couple. From the second step, solutions were extracted: explanation of the what and how and why related to adoption in Iran, implementation solutions for solving the problems, intervention solutions for enhancing family resilience, and solutions for changing attitudes. It was found that the problems related to attitude and worldview constituted the causal conditions of other problems. In conclusion, the final model was presented. Enriching knowledge, improving attitudes, increasing parents' resilience, removing implementation obstacles, should be prioritized.</p> Manuscript profile

        <p>Security remains a fundamental human need within society. The safety and well-being of vulnerable groups, particularly children, who constitute one of the most at-risk segments of society, hold particular significance. An active human presence contributes significantly to enhancing security in urban spaces. The ability to comprehend and observe the surrounding environment, as well as being visible to others, fosters a sense of security. The current research employs a blended quantitative and qualitative approach, involving a research community comprising 25 experts. These experts were selected through an open interview framework, utilizing a purposeful sampling method with the snowball technique. The gathered opinions were subsequently analyzed using SPSS26 software. According to the coefficients obtained from the variables, graphs were generated by Gefi software. Ultimately, the indicators extracted from the first and second stages of the survey underwent analysis using Depth Map software. The integration of the plan analysis with the generated graphs from the previous stage was deliberated using AGraph software. Based on the results, users are mostly looking for spaces that are efficient in attracting people when choosing urban parks for the safety of their children. Especially adults, and allow parents to monitor the space. Cultural spaces with a rating of 4.46 in urban parks are the main factor in attracting people for public participation.</p> Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this paper is to identify and present a high-risk investment model for insurance institutions in order to establish a risky insurance investment fund. In this paper, it has been tried to identify and introduce the most important factors and effective factors of venture capital (VC) using the technique of fuzzy network analysis process in the insurance industry. The data needed for the research has been collected through in-depth interviews with a number of experts and researchers in the insurance industry, as well as a questionnaire. Due to the lack of independence and the existence of dependence between the effective factors, the method of fuzzy network analysis process was used to identify the possible dependencies between factors and measure them for the development of the VC model, and the results were prioritized with the method of non-fuzzy network analysis process. Is. The findings of the research show that operating cycle indicators, total asset turnover ratio, total investment return, loss factor, asset-liability ratio are ranked first to fifth among VC indicators. VCs help the insurance industry establish internal accounting rules and standardize their financial statements. In other words, VC support modifies the "hard" and "soft" information required for insurance. Manuscript profile

The descriptive research method was of the correlation type (structural equation model). The statistical population included the teenagers of Shahrood city in 2023, out of which 300 people were selected by available sampling method. The tools used in this research included risk-taking questionnaires of Iranian teenagers, emotional deficiency and psychological flexibility questionnaire. In order to analyze the research model, the structural equation model was used the findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotional inadequacy and the tendency to risky behaviors, and psychological flexibility plays a mediating role in the relationship between emotional insufficiency and the tendency to risky behaviors. Overall, the results showed that the model had a good fit. According to the obtained results, emotional inadequacy and psychological flexibility play an important role in predicting high-risk behaviors of adolescents. Emotional inadequacy and lack of psychological flexibility can increase the incidence and persistence of high-risk behaviors, including drug use, in teenagers. Therefore, the design of interventions based on improving emotional inadequacy and increasing psychological flexibility is suggested as a basis for reducing the high-risk behaviors of this group of people.</p> Manuscript profile

        The issue of emigration is one of the most important issues that played the most fundamental role in the formation of the Islamic government at the beginning of Islam and is extremely important, which on the one hand prevents the believers from submitting to the pressure and suffocation of the polytheists, and on the other hand is the factor of issuing Islam comes to the Arabian Peninsula. The emigrants refer to those who lived in Makkah and migrated to Madinah after becoming Muslim on the orders of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), and according to this, the emigrants, with their emigration, contributed to the promotion of Islam, as well as the spread of cultures, beliefs, values, beliefs and customs. New customs played a role and in this way they suffered many hardships. For this reason, the great Prophet of Islam (pbuh) paid special attention to the emigrants, because they put their material life and possessions at the service of his call, and with their emigration, they brought the voice of Islam to the ears of the world, and the Holy Qur'an was also transmitted from them to the world. Niki has mentioned that there are verses in the Holy Qur'an describing the characteristics of the immigrants, among them the salient characteristics of the immigrants: sincerity, patience, endurance and trust in God Almighty. Therefore, in this article, the cultural characteristics of immigrants and its reflection in the Qur'an and hadiths have been discussed, and the method of this research is a library. Attempts have been made to examine various cultural dimensions and the relationship between the status of immigrants and the impact of their presence in society. Manuscript profile

        Saeed Haghparast Tohid valipouratiq Abstract The form and path of development in most of the current backward countries of the world is unfortunately an incomplete sampling of advanced and developed countries, and sometimes the regulations are only translated from one language to another without any change. It is certain that the traditional culture of a backward third world country cannot accept the model made for the culture of others. The current research is in response to the question: What function and role can culture play in the progress of countries that are lagging behind in the development process? The hypothesis of the current research is that the progress and sustainable development of a society depends on the acculturation of the members of that society and until the cultural patterns of the countries agree with the development components, the development of these countries will not be possible. Efforts should be made to reform the culture of backward countries in line with the development components. The current research is descriptive-analytical. As a result, fundamental changes in the path of development for any society must be in harmony with the culture and traditions of that society, and all cultural factors should be helped for its correct implementation, otherwise the path of progress and development in these countries, even though it is excellent, is doomed to failure.

        Nowadays, in order to treat and repair bone fractures, metal screws and plates are used; But normally, this method will cause problems in surgeries and bone fractures, including skull and vertebral column fractures, which for example can include things such as long operation time which increases the surgery time, the possibility of damage to the bone tissues around the fracture, difficulty and failure. He pointed out the plates. Therefore, researchers and orthopedic surgeons are looking for a suitable alternative to this method. The use of bone glues is one of the new technologies in this direction that has been proposed to solve such problems. These adhesives must have characteristics such as acceptable adhesion of proteins, tissues and bone, especially in the presence of fat around the bone and stability of adhesion in these environments, and over time, have high mechanical strength against tensile, shear and compressive stresses. Also, having characteristics such as non-toxicity, biocompatibility, appropriate biodegradability, quick and easy application, and good fracture stabilization are required for these adhesives. In this article, some of these bio-adhesives, how to prepare and use them are discussed. Nowadays, in order to treat and repair bone fractures, metal screws and plates are used; But normally, this method will cause problems in surgeries and bone fractures, including skull and vertebral column fractures, which for example can include things such as long operation time which increases the surgery time, the possibility of damage to the bone tissues around the fracture, difficulty and failure.

        One of the most important potential sources of salinity in southern Iran is the dissolution of salt domes, which in most cases leads to the deterioration of the quality of surface waters, karstic aquifers, and adjacent alluvial aquifers. Although karstic and alluvial waters generally have good quality, in many cases in the south of the country, the quality of these waters has decreased due to contact with salt domes. This issue is particularly important in areas such as the lands located on the coasts of the Persian Gulf, where the groundwater level is high. Given that some areas of Hormozgan province, such as Hormuz Island, are composed of salt-susceptible soils with a high percentage of sulfate and gypsum, the occurrence of problems such as subsidence, deviation, and high susceptibility to dissolution is likely. Therefore, this article focuses on examining and evaluating the determination of the susceptibility to dissolution and the resistance characteristics of soils in the areas adjacent to the salt domes on Hormuz Island. The determination of resistance characteristics and susceptibility to dissolution has been carried out based on the results of physical, chemical, technical, and mechanical tests using boreholes and sampling. Some of these characteristics include soil classification, soil moisture content, salt percentage, chloride and phosphate content, maximum density percentage, friction angle, soil cohesion, elasticity modulus, and soil compaction index. The results showed that the presence of salt has led to a decrease in resistance parameters (internal friction angle and cohesion) of the soil. This reduction in cohesion in salt-containing samples compared to natural soil samples without salt has been more pronounced. In addition, the presence of salt leads to an increase in optimal moisture content and a noticeable decrease in maximum dry density of the highly susceptible dissolution soils compared to natural soil samples. Finally, based on the obtained data and the precise identification of susceptible dissolution soils and consideration for future construction in these areas, proposed solutions for preventing and controlling damage to structures on this type of soil have been presented.

        <p>Mobile architecture and adaptive environments are significant considerations in the realm of architecture. Achieving an environment with adaptable structures is the main focus of the research, encompassing methods from the smallest component to the largest assemblies. The primary objective of this research is to design and construct a mobile and responsive environment capable of selecting and utilizing the appropriate models by collecting environmental data. The research methodology is applied, aiming to develop existing methods by leveraging principles from foundational research. The focal point of the research lies in detailed joint design through regular volumes and exploration of opening and closing possibilities. Two of the most suitable volumes, octahedron, and regular icosahedron, serve as the basis of investigation. This research employs an examination of multimodal geometries and their modeling in Rhino 6 software, feasibility studies using SolidWorks 2021 Service Pack 4 software, environment analysis through Python, and command issuance through robotics operating system. Findings showed that using octahedral and icosahedron geometries enables the creation of modular structure capable of mobility within the environment and the establishment of self-structuring system. Moreover, it is feasible to imbue the structure with self-awareness using perceptual and operator units. The designed structure is compact and closed in the octahedral state, with the ability to transform into a twenty-sided configuration from two directions. This transformation drives the structure both backward and forward, facilitating movement. Between the two lateral joints, a static and straightforward hinged structure with minimal movement is positioned, connecting the movable joints and fostering structural integrity.</p> Manuscript profile

        The city of Tehran, as the capital of Iran, has been undergoing a significant transformation in terms of modern changes and extensive development in public center design. Commercial complexes are considered as common domains for social interactions, communications, and social cognition, reflecting effective urban aspects. However, the neglect of social analysis in the design process may lead to the loss of communication between individuals and public spaces, which can result in undesirable social consequences and psychological and emotional distress within society such as isolation and Social alienation. In this regard, the design and architecture of commercial centers have a prominent role, and further research on the social acceptability of these centers is necessary. The main objective of this comparative research is to examine and compare the influential components of social acceptability based on architectural features in the commercial performance of two different structures, namely traditional market centers and malls. The case studies of this research include the Grand Bazaar of Tehran and Kourosh Mall. This study employs a mixed-method approach, utilizing library research, questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and observations, to investigate the subject both quantitatively and qualitatively. Analysis of the results demonstrates that multi-purpose commercial complexes, through environmental structural factors, possess higher levels of overall acceptability compared to traditional markets, by developing dimensions of greater security. This research contributes to the field of architecture and urban design by highlighting the importance of social analysis in the design process and identifying the influential components of social acceptability in commercial centers.

This theory has been proposed by Imamiyyah jurists that if responsibility and commitment are given to different people, how much adherence to beliefs is involved in fulfilling commitment and responsibility. delivered They believed that when several factors jointly cause injury or damage, the responsibility for compensation is divided equally among them, regardless of the degree of fault or influence of the parties. However, the degree of involvement of belief and ideological foundations in adherence to duty and responsibility is a matter that has many ambiguities and has created many questions in this field.

        The current research has investigated the effect of financial development and renewable energy consumption on carbon emissions based on consumption in Iran by controlling the variables of economic growth and electricity consumption in the period from 1990 to 2021. After examining the Manai test of the research variables using modified Dickey-Fuller and Ziot-Andrews tests, Bayer and Hank's cointegration test was performed to check the existence of collinearity between the research variables. Then, autoregressive distributed lag estimators, fully modified ordinary least squares, dynamic ordinary least squares and gradual shift causality test were used to investigate the long-term relationship of variables and their causal relationship. The results clearly show that financial development and renewable energy consumption reduce carbon emissions based on consumption in Iran, and economic development and financial development increase carbon emissions based on consumption. The results of the test of gradual causal changes have confirmed the main results of the estimation methods used. Therefore, policymakers in Iran should encourage research and development in low-carbon technologies and also target investments in renewable energy and reduce the level of non-renewable energy imports and avoid investing in high energy consumption sectors that lead to an increase Avoid carbon emissions based on consumption.
