        Economic growth and development are among the main goals of economic policymakers, which have led them to always look for factors that accelerate economic growth. There are different theories in this regard, each of which is one of the factors influencing economic growth. One of the reasons for failure in the path of economic development is lack of a model for realizing economic complexity, taking into account the experiences of other countries. This research has been carried out for the purpose of a meta-analysis of research conducted in the field of economic complexity over the past few years. The statistical population of this research is the research on the complexity of the economy between 2011 and the end of 2017. Of the 35 studies reviewed, 22 cases have been identified for proper meta-analysis. These articles have been reviewed in two sections: "Meta-analysis descriptive findings" and "Qualitative assessment of articles". Descriptive findings include the time scale, the frequency of articles, the gender of the researchers and the geographical distribution of the authors and the level of the region studied (national, regional or global). In the quality assessment section, the articles are divided into three groups based on the "Blaikie" triple indicator, why and how they are categorized and analyzed. Then, by examining all the articles studied, the factors emphasized in economic complexity were extracted and in the end, considering these factors, a proposed model is proposed to achieve the complexity of the economy, which can be a way forward for managers and policymakers in the fields Economic and industrial.

        Considering the growing number of research articles published on regional planning and tourism worldwide, and the fact that it appears impossible for the researchers to review all of them in detail, it is necessary to analyze the studies conducted in this field whatsoever. Moreover, as meta-analysis has recently been welcomed by Iranian researchers, it seems that in a near future, a considerable number of studies on urban and regional planning would apply meta-analysis as their research method. Therefore, this study sought to examine, based on the PRISMA statement, the reports of meta-analysis studies on regional planning published in both Iranian and Non-Iranian journals. To this end, all Iranian and Non-Iranian journals (in Persian and English) in the field of regional planning indexed during the last decade with the subject of regional tourism by such databases as Magiran, SID (Scientific Information Database, affiliated with the Academic Center for Education Culture and Research), Google Scholar, and IranDoc (Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology) were examined, using meta-analysis and tourism as keywords for searching through the aforementioned databases, resulting in the identification of 38 relevant articles. Then, 13 articles were selected based on predetermined criteria, whose data were analyzed based on the PRISMA statement using descriptive statistics. The study’s findings indicated the examined meta-analysis articles were acceptably compatible with the criteria set by the PRISMA statement in terms of overall quality. Moreover, it was found that 38% percent of the articles lacked expected methodological quality. Also, the quality of the meta-analysis studies reported in the field of regional tourism was found to be moderate. Manuscript profile

        High quality education is a prerequisite for a flourishing economy of a country. The quality of education can be improved by considering new approaches. On the other hand, the characteristics and competencies of specialists in the field of education and focusing on competency-based human resources in this field is another approach that will have a direct relationship with the quality of education and improving competition in this market. Therefore, the research object is to explain the key competencies of human resources in the field of education services with the approach of marketing education services. In this study, the results of the resources of necessary competencies in educational services during the years (2020-205) & (1399-1385) are analyzed by a meta-analyzed method and components of educational services marketing competency were counted. From 91 primary sources, 67 sources were selected based on abstract, then 39 ones were selected based on the content, and finally 12 sources were considered as relevant sources. Heterogeneity of the effect size was confirmed and then the effect of each index was studied using CMA software. By the results of the Q test, the studies are heterogeneous with 99% confidence, the use of combining results of the random effects model was confirmed. According to the random results in software analysis, 24 key competencies were found in the field of educational services marketing. The findings indicated that the competencies "time management" and "creativity and innovation" have the highest effect sizes of 0.584 and 0.538 respectively, and the competencies of "listening skills" and "power of analysis" with a value of 0.285 have the lowest effect sizes among the competencies.

All related studies of nurses' spiritual health were searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Magiran, and SID databases and the Google Scholar search engine by the end of 22July 2021 with the appropriate keywords. In this study, the heterogeneity of studies was evaluated using index I2 and the probability of diffusion in diffusion by Egger test and Meta regression model to evaluate the variables suspected of heterogeneity at a significance level of 0.05. 16 articles were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results: Based on a random model, the rate of spiritual health in Iranian nurses was 82.53 ± 2.81 (77.02-88.04: 95% confidence interval). The mean and standard deviation of religious and existential health were 37.60± 7.30 and 37.38±7.75, respectively. There was a significant relationship between sample size, year, mean age and spiritual health (P <0.05). Conclusion: According to the research findings, the level of spiritual health was optimal. Therefore, given the country's adherence to moral values, achieving such a result is not unexpected. Manuscript profile

        Gamification has emerged as one of the novel educational methods that aims to improve education by creating a happy, exciting, dynamic and active platform. In fact, this method strengthens different learning channels of learners. Gamification of educational content offers the concepts and contents in a more convenient way. In this regard, this research was conducted with the aim of exploring the elements and advantages of the gamification method using the meta-analysis approach. The study corpus included national and international studies conducted in the field of gamification, initially 79 national studies and 301 international studies were identified and downloaded, and among them the most relevant sources were selected as the statistical sample, including 30 national studies and 65 international studies (total 95 studies). These sources (articles, dissertations and treatises) were searched in national scientific data bases such as magiran, sid, noormagz, irandoc, ricest as well as comprehensive humanities portal and international scientific data bases such as Proquest, Springer, Sciencedirect, Mdpi, Researchgate, Ieee, Acm, and Google scholars. Next the corpus was analyzed with the aim of identifying the most significant and widely applied elements of the gamification approach and the advantages of this approach. It should be mentioned that the articles presented in the conference were excluded from the study corpus. According to the findings of the research, score, reward, challenge, feedback, leveling, story, interaction and competition with the highest percentage of frequency were the most important and practical elements of gamification in education. Also, creating and promoting interaction and participation, creating motivation, providing a platform for deep learning, improving performance, creating attractiveness and increasing it, developing cognitive growth, creating excitement and vitality, increasing the effectiveness of education, creating a platform for the use of educational technologies, developing social growth, development of soft skills and reduction of disorder were among the benefits of gamification in researches, among these things, creating and promoting interaction and participation, providing a platform for deep learning, creating motivation, improving performance, developing cognitive development, creating excitement and vitality, increasing Effectiveness of education, creation of a platform for the use of educational technologies had the highest frequency percentage.
