This paper aims to investigate the impact of climate change on food security in the villages of the Migan village of Nehbandan district of South Khorasan. In order to achieve this goal, target groups (100 households were randomly selected) were identified to measure the impact of climate change on food security and were indexed to identify the various domains of food security. These indicators include indicators of access to rural food insecurity and food insecurity ranges of rural households. Finally, rural households were classified in terms of food security in four groups: mild food security, moderate food security, food insecurity. Changes in key food security and household livelihoods as a result of climatic changes in the region have been clarified with regard to field observations and key interviews with rural people. The main finding is that societies that have never experienced extreme temperatures, drought and dust have not experienced it, they are currently in abundance. The research findings revealed that all households in the statistical community have food insecurityHouseholds vulnerable to climate change recorded a high level of food insecurity. Households prefer to adopt a variety of strategies in response to climate change that helps improve household food security. Non-agricultural incomes play an important role in reducing food insecurity in households. Manuscript profile

The Sassanid dynasty gradually changed its political focus from Fars to the open and strategic land of Mesopotamia during the Middle and Late reign of Shapur II. Definitely, the purpose of this power transfer was to dominate the western borders and the fertile lands of Iraq and Khuzestan. The Central Zagros valleys were highly considered as the closest highlands to the political center during this period for the reasons including being located in the highway linking the imperial center with the political center, and its fertility and environmental diversity. The presence of the settlements from the Sassanid period with relatively higher densities than the environmental capability, being located in inaccessible natural valleys, being away from the main communication routes, and most importantly establishing them simultaneously. (so that all of these areas were on pristine soil and not built for the continuation of previous settlements) .the archaeological evidence that demonstrate these centers as the remnants of Sasanian armies that had been active in the dispersed resistance and continued artistic and architectural life beyond the reach of Muslims. New archaeological excavations led to viewing a part of the architectural remains of aristocratic luxurious houses and residential homes. In addition to evaluating the functionality and age of the newly-explored sites, we consider questions such as how to link between the contemporaneous master buildings in the Simare area in this paper. The results indicated the continuation of the settlements from the Sassanid period until the early Islam; the pottery evidence strongly support this dating as well. Thus, this paper attempts to answer the question that “what is the function of the obtained architectural remains and to what period do they belong?” The present research has been based on the archaeological excavations in recent years, trying to explain architectural works with a descriptive-analytical approach.

Space is one of the most important architectural issue whose form, structure and organization are directly related to culture. In fact, the aspects and components of culture in the built environment are appear in the form of space. It can be said that architecture organizes the social and cultural laws inherent in customs and habits through the language of physical appearance and space. Therefore, the way of organization, order and type of spaces, in addition to representing the cultural background and identity of residents, also affects the social structure of the user of the space. The main purpose of this study is investigateting the nature of residential architecture in the region of Kurdistan Makri (Mokrian), with emphasis on the characteristics and features of the architectural space and how it is organized and arranged from the perspective of culture. To achieve this goal, using a qualitative method of ethnography, the totality of Kurdish culture is based on more tangible variables that affect the architectural space (lifestyle, family structure, gender role (status of women), privacy and the process of social relations) in the relationship with the shape of houses has been investigated. Architectural data collection (planning, sketching and photography) using the field method in relation to the shape of traditional houses (urban houses) in Sardasht, located in northwestern Iran, as a general example and studies of urban housing and verancular architecture The Kurdish region of Mokrian has been done. Therefore, in order to analyze the spatial structure, the space layout pattern and their diagram were drawn using Agraph software. Then, the correlation indices, Relative Asymmetry, Mean depth Cv (control) of the spaces were analyzed using mathematical relationships of spacetime for each sample. The general results of the research show that the traditional architecture of Mokrian region is a combination of introverted and extroverted architecture. In the urban houses of this region, the issue of privacy has a complex structure due to the specific culture of the Kurds, and most of the spaces have a public dimension. The status and position of women in the house and family system in terms of the number of spouses is very important in the way of space organization that reflects behaviors derived from their culture, local customs and social structure.

The universe is made up of living and non-living beings. Based on its capacity, each of them has a level of life. Human creations, because of the change or stability in the conditions of matter, make it possible discover or create and have the ability to create levels of life. The builders’ attempt to create works and structures which is somewhat close to these characteristics. Characteristics in which the sense of vitality, kindness and other qualitative components are strengthened. Therefore, the research emerges to ask such questions; which classification can be considered in relation to the levels of life in constructions? How has the spatial quality of traditional houses in Yazd achieved success with the presence of life components? The present article seeks to present or propose the concept of life classification in structures in which more properly is expressed the values and characteristics related to the life of structures. Therefore, it seems that this feature is more recognizable in traditional cities. In order to understand it precisely with reference to the historical texture of Yazd city, the patterns of the central courtyard houses, sunken garden and garden house are selected and classified. The research is based on analytical and descriptive method along with documentary and field data collection. Also, in a precise framework, all datas are collected and analyzed based on the principle of induction, and summarized the document. The result shows that, in the traditional houses of Yazd, six general systems related to the category of life can be identified. Life as an empirical thing exists in all beings. It looks like metaphorical, energical, biological, and Spiritual aspects. Finally life as an inspiring idea forms the structure of the research. Manuscript profile

The central courtyard is one of the ancient and valuable models of Iranian climatic architecture and as a physical element in organizing the structure of the space of traditional houses has responded to various dimensions of biological, social and cultural needs. The geometry of the central courtyard (shape and proportions) as the main design feature always affects the performance of the amount of radiated energy absorbed, suitable thermal comfort conditions, and the pattern of air flow movement. Therefore, the present study has evaluated the relationship between yard proportions and airflow pattern in traditional Shushtar houses. In order to achieve more accurate findings in the existing buildings, Nanaee, Rezvan, Aminzadeh, and Baghal houses were selected as the studied samples in a historical period, with minimal intervention in their spatial structure. The research method of this research is a hybrid method due to its interdisciplinary nature. Firstly, the initial observations, using the experimental strategy, the independent variables (shape, proportions) of the yards are identified and the dependent variables (wind flow velocity) have been measured by using digital anemometer device. Secondly, Anemometers are measured. In order to study the data more accurately, the simulation of this research is performed by CFD computational fluid dynamics method by using Design Modeler and Fluent software. Finally, the air flow inside the yards is analyzed. The results show that houses with four-sided construction yards with length to widths of 1.08 and 1.2 have the most favorable air flow distribution conditions and three-sided construction yards with lengths of 1.01 and 1.13 width in terms of uniform air flow distribution suffer .They enjoy unfavorable conditions in the hot seasons of the year in Shushtar. Changes in the proportions and geometric pattern of the yards have affected the air quality conditions and thermal comfort conditions of the residents. Manuscript profile

Nowadays, investing in information and communication technology (ICT) is inevitable, because it affects various aspects of human life, including the economy. Due to the rapid growth of population, increasing energy demand, and limited energy resources, one of the basic measures to achieve sustainable development in countries, is optimization and reform of energy consumption structures. Given that the home sector is one of the main sectors of energy consumption, one of the effective approaches in reducing and managing household energy expenditures is to use ICT capabilities. In this regard, in this study, the effect of ICT expansion on energy consumption of urban households in Iran using the Panel Data method and GLS model during the period 2008-2015 and in the form of provincial data has been analyzed. The results indicate that in some models, a significant reducing effect of ICT on energy expenditure was observed. However, in most of the estimated models, there is no significant reducing effect of ICT on household energy expenditure. It seems that the main reasons for this are the subsidy structure governing energy prices, the low share of energy in total household consumption expenditures, the lack of proper consumption culture.

Spatial elements have a lot of varieties in the architecture of past houses. Every house can find meaning through closed and open spaces and the accompaniment of semi-open spaces next to them. One of the unique features of Islamic houses is the presence of semi-open space elements that in addition to meet the functional and behavioural needs; have a diversity in their typology. With the aim of typology of these spatial elements, this research uses a qualitative research method to find out what are the different types of semi-open spaces in Yazd houses and Damascus houses in terms of form and orientation. In addition, this research is based on field studies that authors were able to visit and perceive spaces in Yazd houses and Damascus houses. For this purpose, first, the historical background of semi-open elements and their functions have been studied. Then, by reviewing the position of semi-open elements in some Islamic cities, the two cities of Yazd and Damascus in Qajar and Ottoman historical periods were selected and the typology of semi-open spatial elements in houses were analysed and compared. Based on the preliminary study, houses of Yazd have four types of semi-open spaces, including the main porch(hall), shallow porch, porch and columned porch, and the houses of Damascus have three types of semi-open spaces, namely, the main porch, secondary porch and the columned porch. Comparison of these semi-open spatial elements in the houses of the two cities and analysis of the commonalities and differences between them; lead the researchers to a main semi-open space, namely, the main porch.

Home is the most important place to restore peace and revitalize human life. It is a place to be with family, social interactions, relax, do favorite activities and get rid of daily human tensions. With the passage of time and the advancement of technology, many definitions of our daily lives have changed. A concept that is still firmly preserved is the concept of human privacy. Traditional Iranian architects have tried to design houses while maintaining the principles of privacy in open and closed spaces of houses, but over time, with the growth of apartment living, development of construction technology and the integration of Western culture with Iranian-Islamic culture, observance of privacy in homes, especially in open spaces, has declined. Mazandaran province is one of the regions that has undergone many inappropriate construction changes. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the role and knowledge of the components affecting the syntax of space on the open spaces of traditional houses in Mazandaran. This study seeks to find physical patterns of privacy in the open spaces of Mazandaran houses by extracting patterns of privacy in Mazandaran houses. In this research, first, through field studies, patterns are found and then, using the space syntax technique and Depthmap software, the indices of depth, connection and interconnection and isoust in the building will be studied. The results of the present study showed that open space has an important and fundamental role on the level of spatial privacy and also the geometry and location of the yard relative to the building has a double effect on the visibility of observers to different spaces of the house. In such a way that the yards that have irregular geometry and are located in the middle, back and side sections, the visibility of the entrance door to different parts of the house is minimized and also the privacy is increased by increasing the depth and caution index in traditional open house he does.

We live in an era which the change is a main part of it, and this is due to the successive developments in architecture. But everything in a city is not equally affected by changes, and home, the place that is more closely associated with human life, has undergone a lot of change. The present paper attempts to focus on historic and contemporary homes of Sanandaj, offering a reading that goes beyond the physical and into local living culture. The research adopts a qualitative approach on three levels: an analysis of the town’s general characteristics and its effects on houses, as well as an analytic-descriptive comparison between some examples, and finally an analysis based on compatibilities of local living culture and architecture through deep, semi-structured interviews. The results show that the main distinct features of Sanandaj homes are their relation with nature, the attention paid to exterior views whilst keeping privacy, the importance of the semi-opened space in them and the spatial hierarchies. However, the continuity of these features in the contemporary homes is vague. Thus, it can be claimed that changes in the city and the external form of buildings in one hand and interior space, in the other hand, indicate a lack of dependence of contemporary home on traditional architecture.

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

There are many ways to improve the quality of designing and manufacturing products that are more in line with the needs of customers. Studies have shown that, in spite of customer needs, customer sense also plays a major role in designing products. One of the effective ways to identify and use in product design is kansei engineering. In this research, we have tried to use quality function deployment (QFD) and kansei engineering to determine the emotions affecting the design of the product and by combining these two, products can be tailored to meet the needs of customers. The statistical population for the determination of technical properties was the stores that were classified according to the sampling method in each case; a simple sampling method was chosen among buyers. Then, during the interview, 10 prominent vendors with a history of selling health products were used. The technical properties of the product are determined in the form of 21 items and a questionnaire distributed among 50 people in which users were asked to determine what characteristics of the product are more important to them. In this research, firstly, with the help of the previous study, the kansei words were collected in relation to the product, and 13 of them were chosen. These factors were classified into three categories of sensory and appearance features, inherent features and controllable factors.

The main reason of data warehouse systems failure is lack of justification proof. Analysis is an important task for decision about data warehouse creation. In this paper, we present the framework to justify data warehouse based on the input query types. We classify query types and execute them on the databases and data warehouses with different sizes. The query response time and the number of I/O are evaluation parameters. In the experiments, different types of queries have been processed on databases and data warehouses and the results based on time and memory have been compared. These results are presented below: • For answering multidimensional queries and aggregated queries data warehouse systems will be required, • For answering nested queries and join queries, data warehouse system will be useful, • Database systems will be proper for answering simple queries and computational queries. In this work, the tools which can process the above ideas have been produced. The software will take user query and evaluate its process to decide having or not having data warehouses.

Data warehouse and OLAP are essential elements of decision support systems (DSS) and have been studied in database issues extensively. The requirements of decision support systems are different from on-line transactional processing systems. Query optimization and efficient data cube computation have primary roles in improving functionality of DSS. This paper presents a new method for query processing in data warehouses and computing data cubes using bottom-up cube computation techniques. Results of implementation show that the proposed algorithm outperforms two best known algorithms (based on time criterion), and is much faster than them in answering to monotonic query with large volume of data. Furthermore, 2-dimensional view of ex-cube and transforming the data cube to a hyper graph structure, reduce the required space of the algorithm when we aggregate subsets of cube's dimension.

A major challenge in the field of platforms and applications is how to display and combine the results of real-time and static partitions, as well as reduce the response time of on-line analytical processing queries in a near real-time data warehouse. So appropriate content in a near real-time data warehouse can be produced through a common interface for the results of queries. This article provides an architecture that includes an XML/XSLT interface approach to generate appropriate content and also creating materialized views in the client side. In this architecture, providing a model-based HTML output, distribution and composition of results, are presented. In addition, two parallel approaches for incorporating the results of real-time and static partitions of near real-time data warehouse architecture are proposed. In the proposed architecture, the fundamental role of XML and its related technologies, the production and maintenance of content in near real-time data warehouse is determined. The results show that response time of on-line analytical processing queries via materialized views in the server and client side is reduced. Introduced functions for selecting materialized views in the both of client and server sides improve the storage space. Manuscript profile

Data warehouse does not provide external data that are required to dynamically build after design and create the data warehouse. Therefore, analysts conduct effective analysis to find a correlation between external data and data warehouse data, and in other cases requires a comparison both external data and data warehouse data together. The analyst forced to repeat some past repetitive situations. This includes creating terminology, measures and comparison. In this paper, for graduates of this problem, a real-time data warehouse architecture based on ontology is proposed. Furthermore, an algorithm to reduce the response time to users’ queries using materialized views and parallel processing is proposed. A case study to demonstrate how to create correlation between external data and data warehouse data is done and the results show the correlation between external data and data warehouse data is discovered. In experiments, using both direct and parent materialized views approaches in existing data warehouse architecture, reduce response time to users’ sequential, comparative and combination queries.

While many scholars believe that tourists take the trouble to visit authentic destinations away from their place of residence, few studies have so far been conducted in this regard. Therefore, this study sought to investigate the role of perceived authenticity on tourists' satisfaction and revisiting intention. To this end, perceived authenticity was divided into objective, structural, and existential categories based on the analysis of the related literature review. Moreover, the study was conducted in the Kourd House Ethnology Museum of Sanandaj. On the other hand, to collect the required data, a valid questionnaire was administered to 224 tourists who visited the place. Finally, the collected data were analyzed through SPSS20 software using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that objective, structural, and existential authenticity positively influenced tourists’ satisfaction. However, it was merely the objective and existential authenticity that exerted a positive effect on the tourists’ intention to revisit the place. Moreover, tourists’ satisfaction was also found to have a positive influence on their revisiting intention. Manuscript profile

House of Edriss is the story of the wandering women in the circle of human disasters. Women in the two structural power disciplines and in the two seemingly old and new worlds cannot have any role other than a victim. In this novel, women such as Roxana and Rahilla are considered to be desirable merely because of their beautiful appearance and other women have become obsessed with their traditional life style. In the new communist discipline, these women change their identities to ideologically imprisoned workers. In the novel, one revolution can transform each society; the house of the traditional aristocrats is seized. But women do not get free. Even women like Shaukat, who are at high levels of power, have to deny their femininity, and this is the culmination of women's hostile sexism and self-objecting. On the other hand, Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid's Tale is the story of handmaids who live in a fantasy country called Gilead, where women do not have the right to read. Women's worth is only about their fertility. The novel, based on the characteristics of defining the identity of individuals through social foundations, which leads to self-centeredness, is an analytical work based on the loss of women's identity in the capitalist system. The analysis of the two aforementioned stories is not based on the female object-oriented approach that the women in the traditional life have neither rights nor human identities, nor have the political trends of the left and the right of the modern world.

From the Qajar period of Tabriz, extremely valuable houses have been left. One of them is Behnam and the other is Qadaki who have a common entrance and porch and it seems that there are hidden concepts behind their architectural plan. Addressing the issue of meaning and finding deep layers in the field of architecture is inevitable. Therefore, in order to find these concepts and the relationship between these two buildings in terms of using archetypal concepts, a comparative comparison has been made. One of Jung's most important archetypes is the self (mandala). And it is necessary to investigate more precisely, the main questions of the research are raised as follows: 1. How has the mandala archetype appeared in the architecture of the houses of Qadki and Behnam in Tabriz? 2. What is the manifestation of meaning based on the archetypal concepts of mandala in Behnam and Qadki houses? The aim of this research is to find the basic patterns as a common language for the continuity of the architecture of these houses. In this research, the ancient pattern of mandala can be recovered by semiotic reading through its basic forms, images and representation of its concepts. Considering the historical-analytic nature of the research and the comparative comparison of the studied houses, it has been summarized qualitatively and descriptively. At the same time, according to its theoretical approach, the semiotic approach has been used to extract symbols and meaning. Referring to the method of layered semiotics, it has been used to convert the data into paradigm patterns that indicate the presence of the mandala in the formation of the structure of the studied houses. In the following, the semantic analysis of each of the mandala images in the studied samples has been done. The result of the research shows the traces of mandal images such as numbers and specific geometric patterns. The first architectural foundations of Behnam and Qadaki houses are in the form of simple, regular geometrical shapes, which include circles, regular polygons, and squares, which are developed in a mandal combination and have an archaic nature.

This study evaluated and analyzed energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in Gorgan. For this purpose, the demand and supply model of Gorgan was developed based on the baseline scenario and scenarios of improving energy consumption using the LEAP model until 1414 (2035). In recent years, various strategies have been proposed to optimize energy consumption, which is among the most important strategies to reduce energy consumption and environmental emissions on an urban scale. These strategies generally include 1- Gradual increase of energy carrier prices according to the law of targeted subsidies, 2- Management of energy in the direction of the energy demand of the city, 3- Development of renewable energy technologies in the direction of demand and, 4- Increase of CNG share in the urban transport sector. First, each of these solutions was evaluated in the form of a scenario in the model environment and then their impact on energy consumption and environmental emissions was investigated. Finally, a new scenario was defined as the energy policy of Gorgan, which is the result of a combination of the four scenarios mentioned and indicates the simultaneous implementation of all strategies to improve energy and environmental emissions in Gorgan. At the end of the research, suggestions on energy consumption optimization based on the energy policy scenario of Gorgan are presented. Manuscript profile

Solar energy is one of the most important types of new and renewable energy that, if it replaces fossil fuels, can end existing concerns about the end of life as well as environmental pollution caused by fossil energy carriers and price fluctuations and energy crises. Considering the high potential of solar energy in large areas of Iran, among energy sources, solar energy is more attractive for researchers. Today, many countries use solar power plants in grid-connected and grid-independent formats. The use of renewable energies is due to the reduction of dependence on oil and gas, sources that are less harmful to the environment, being cheap, permanent, clean, reducing fossil fuel consumption and reducing greenhouse gases, the ability to be used at home and on a large scale, and easy maintenance are some of the advantages of using renewable energy. They are from solar and wind energy, which have turned these features of renewable energy into the best and cleanest energies. Manuscript profile

The central yard, as an efficient and responsive device, has done its job well in protecting residents from environmental, social and cultural conditions in different regions of Iran. The physical typology of the central courtyard in different regions of the country, especially the buildings related to the first Pahlavi period, is a topic that this research seeks to answer. For this purpose, traditional houses with courtyards from different cities of the country have been selected as study samples. This research aims to investigate the physical structure, patterns and various types of the central courtyard in traditional houses, to study the typology of these houses. In order to carry out the research, more than 60 examples of traditional houses in the historical area of different cities of Iran were identified and 23 houses that had complete information and documents were selected for classification. According to their nature, research data has been collected by referring to library sources and field observations. The results of the classification of the location of the courtyard in the building show that one construction front (with the building mass on the northern side of the courtyard) has the most and buildings with two courtyards on both sides of the building have the lowest frequency among the samples studied. Also in In the longitudinal classification, 15.1-25 has the highest frequency, while in the transverse classification, the maximum frequency belongs to 15.1-20. Yards with an area of 100 to 400 square meters have the highest frequency among the samples studied. In the classification of proportions, the highest frequency is related to the proportions of 1.1 and the lowest is related to 1.5, which indicates the stretching of the yards towards the square. After the classification and comparison, Tousizadeh house has been chosen as the representative of the species with the highest abundance and Ganjalizadeh house as the representative of the species with the least abundance in the study context.

The sexual revolution of the late 1960s led to a change in sexual discourse and a fundamental change in sexual attitudes, ethics and behavior in many western countries. One of the most important consequences has been the expansion of premarital sexual relations in these countries. This pattern of premarital sexual relations gradually spread to other parts of the world. This transformation demythologized sexual relations and, in addition to increasing the age of marriage, created the grounds for the emergence of cohabitation. Islamic Iran has not been spared from these changes and nearly in the two decades, there have been whispers of the prevalence of this marriage model in Iran that result provoked researches with qualitative method in general. The present article aimed to better understand this phenomenon and illustrate a general picture of cohabitation status in Iran by combining the studies with qualitative method. Ultra-combination method applied in this study. In most important Persian database during years 2001-2021 limit searched key words cohabitation, housemate, coexistence, and white marriage. Out of collection of articles, only 14 papers were found that matched to entrance criterion. Cohabitation in Iran popularized among urban middle classes, young age groups and university graduates. World experiences indicates increase the phenomenon. Due to illegal and severe punishment in Iran,, there is not information about of its amount; But survey attitude data obtained by national survey in 2011th decade indicate there is an increase compliance with phenomenon at the attitude level. In the analysis of this phenomenon, it is necessary to pay attention to different types of coexistence. We are faced with at least two types of cohabitation; first type can be classified mostly in the form of a type of premarital relationship model, and in the second type, cohabitation is considered as an alternative to marriage.

The architecture and culture of southern Iranian cities had a significant influence on the architecture and culture of Arab countries around the Persian Gulf. One notable example is the influence on the architecture of the Bastakiya neighborhood in Dubai, which was a result of the migration of Iranian merchants to the Bastakiya neighborhood. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of the local architecture and culture of southern Iranian cities on the architecture of the Bastakiya neighborhood. The research method was descriptive-analytical and involved comparing and studying six case studies of old-fashioned houses in Bushehr and Bastakiya. The results show that, in addition to environmental issues, culture and lifestyle had an significant influence on the layout and structure of houses in both regions. The migration of Iranians to Bastakiya caused the culture and lifestyle of Iranian immigrants to influence the structure of houses, and similarities between the architectural design of houses in both regions were observed in issues such as spatial planning, integration, privacy, construction methods, and internal circulation of space. In both regions, different spaces were defined for men and women as private and common spaces, and there were also spaces for guests and male visitors that were separate from the private space of the house. The central courtyard and windows and windcatchers were used as tools to create natural ventilation and cooling. Additionally, different spaces such as public, semi-public, and private spaces were defined in each house for various activities. Manuscript profile

Porous materials have different types of pores in the micro, meso or nano range, each of which plays a special role in porous materials application. Among these materials, porous carbon materials have a special share due to their unique properties such as: mechanical, chemical and thermal stability and their reasonable price. There are two main methods for synthesizing porous carbon materials: 1) template method and 2) pyrolysis/activation method. The template method is basically time consuming and tedious due to the use of the template and removal of template. Thus the method of pyrolysis/activation is widely used to prepare porous carbon materials from porous polymer precursers or waste and biomass materials in the presence of the physical and chemical active agents. Replacement of heteroatoms including: N, O, B, S and P in carbon materials leads to increased efficiency and development of their new applications; For example, the use of porous N-doped carbon materials as electrodes in superconducting cells increases the efficiency of energy storage and in the field of adsorbents materials increases the efficiency of CO2 uptake. Due to their unique properties, especially high surface area, low weight and high adsorption capacity, porous carbon materials are used in hydrogen storage, contaminants removal fron air air water, electrodes and as catalyst support.

In 2019, Iran ranked eighth in the world in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide produced and polluting the earth, and higher than England, France, Italy, Canada, Turkey, Mexico, Indonesia, etc. But the environmental realities of Iran are even more terrible than these statistics. Because by calculating the destruction of surface and underground water, forests and pastures, this country is facing a much deeper crisis. Iran has a very fragile environmental situation and is at the forefront of the fight against global warming. This vast country is located in the desert belt and dry and crisis-stricken region of the Middle East and between war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. With the destruction of underground water resources and the forests and pastures of the region and the increase in the use of fossil fuels, irreparable damage has been done to the region's environment. In such a situation, economic sanctions against Iran make the situation worse. This issue has not received much attention from politicians and even environmentalists.

Housing, as a space for settling and living، has always been one of the first spaces that humans have dealt with since the beginning of history، and the characteristics of this building، especially its interior، are due to the direct connection with humans during long hours of the day. It has been of great importance. Peace is one of the spiritual and psychological needs of every person. Nowadays، humans usually spend most of our time at home، and therefore we Searching to find peace at home and rest our body and soul in this place. Considering this issue، architecture can help a lot in creating peace by inducing a sense of peace and tranquility in the interior of the house. The purpose of the current research is to examine the opinions of researchers and theorists of architecture and environmental psychology، to extract the factors that create peace from the perspective of the residents and to match them with the current spatial behavior patterns of the residents. Home. Based on this، in this research، how can peace be manifested in two common house models. Contemporary buildings including apartment houses and detached houses with courtyards will be examined. This research has been conducted with a mixed qualitative method along with quantitative analysis through a two-sample t-test، and the research process is such that in the first stage، through interviews with the residents of the houses، semantic systems derived from the spatial characteristics of each pattern extracted. In the common type of housing in Kerman (detached houses with courtyards and apartments) it was compared and the degree of peacefulness in the houses was extracted. This article finally came to the conclusion that the super meaning of peace is manifested in the model of independent houses with courtyards more than in the apartment model، which is also affected by the variety of spatial characteristics and environmental capabilities that are in this model.

Human has values that can play a role in the formation of Iranian Islamic house architecture. Ignoring the hidden values in the experiences of our past is becoming more visible every day. The question that was raised was: How are human values manifested in the architecture of Iranian Islamic houses? The purpose of the research was to identify the human values governing Iranian-Islamic houses, to explain the relationship between human values with the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle, and its manifestation in the architecture of the historical houses of Yazd City as the case studies. This research was qualitative and practical in terms of purpose, and it was conducted by combining logical reasoning methods, descriptive-analytical and historical studies, and based on library documents and sources. We analyzed human values based on Islamic culture in house architecture in 5 axes: human relationship with God - human relationship with self - human relationship with society and others - human relationship with nature - human relationship with history. After extracting Islamic teachings, 6 examples of historical houses in Yazd City were selected and analyzed in terms of Islamic teachings in the field of human values. The results of the study showed that human values in the form of respect for the elderly, guest rights, good neighborliness, avoidance of extravagance, hierarchy, etc., were manifested in the historical houses of Yazd city. Iranian-Islamic buildings are a dynamic collection that must be constantly evolving and adapt to the needs of the residents, Iranian-Islamic concepts, principles, and human values. Therefore, by extracting human values from the pure architecture of the past, updating and restoring it, and updating and spreading it, the architecture of contemporary houses can be shaped in sync with human values.

Such a complex can be located on the sea. Offshore floating wind power, an emerging technology in the offshore wind industry, has attracted increasing attention due to its potential to cooperate with other renewable energies to decarbonize energy systems. The environmental effects of floating offshore wind farms in deep sea areas should be considered and methods to enhance the low-carbon effect should be devised. Few studies have been conducted to evaluate the environmental effects of offshore floating wind farms, but the scale of these studies was relatively small. In the future offshore wind farm, more baseline data should be collected to improve the reliability of LCA.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of resilience training based on the acceptance and commitment approach on the levels of acceptance, gratitude, and courage among female heads of households in Shiraz. This experimental research employed a semi-experimental pre-test and post-test design with a control group. A total of 100 participants were selected, with 30 participants attending the workshops and divided into two experimental groups (15 participants each). Data collection instruments included the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6), and Courage Questionnaire. The intervention consisted of 10 sessions, each lasting 1.5 hours, conducted weekly for the experimental group. The results of the analysis of covariance showed that resilience training significantly enhanced acceptance, gratitude (GQ-6), and courage among female heads of household. Therefore, resilience training based on the acceptance and commitment approach can be considered an effective method to enhance acceptance, gratitude, and courage among heads of household. Moreover, the intensity and duration of resilience training played a significant role in the outcomes. The results indicate that resilience training based on the acceptance and commitment approach had a positive and significant effect on acceptance, gratitude levels, and courage among female heads of household. Consequently, resilience training programs tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of female heads of household, considering environmental, cultural, and social factors in their living environment, can play an effective role in improving family functioning and well-being, as well as enhancing their gratitude and courage.

One of the influential factors in building design is their proper orientation regarding the placement of the sun and the optimal utilization of natural light. Research conducted on buildings constructed in Iran has referred to three orientations (directions): the orientation of urban buildings relative to sunlight, wind direction, and generally the appropriate use of optimal climatic conditions. This article aims to investigate the orientation of courtyard houses in the city of Isfahan, built during the Safavid and Qajar periods, and its impact on the illumination of facades and spaces situated in each direction. The main research question is based on the orientation of houses, both in terms of direction and angle, and how it has affected the illumination of facades and consequently the spaces. The purpose of this research is to study the role of the orientation of houses in the illumination of spaces. The method employed in this study is qualitative research, and data collection utilized both library and field methods, with data analysis conducted using descriptive methods. The results of this research indicate that the orientation of houses on a north-south axis in winter, based on the Isfahan pattern, performs better than other angles for Tehran-style illumination (winter-oriented). However, overall, none of the orientations had a significant impact on facade illumination. Nonetheless, the varied placement angles in historical houses not built according to the Isfahan pattern were not climate-dependent but rather created based on the shape of the land and its axial alignment.
