        Introduction: Air pollution in cities is one of the most critical environmental problems, representing a constant and severe threat to both the health and hygiene of society and the environment. The primary air pollutants include nitrogen oxides, with a particular emphasis on nitrogen dioxide, sulfur oxides, especially sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide, and suspended particles. Ahvaz, a metropolis in Iran, stands out as one of the most polluted cities. Effective environmental management, particularly in addressing air pollution, is of paramount importance. This research aims to predict the concentration of CO pollutants in Ahvaz city for the first seven days of 2015. Materials and Methods: Based on previous studies, meteorological variables including weather, air temperature and wind speed were selected as gas input titles in the network for gas prediction. CO gas was procured in 2014 through the Environmental Protection Organization of Ahvaz city. In order to develop the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural network, Neuro Solution5 software was used to create the neural network, 70% of the data was used for training (validation), 15% for testing, and the remaining 15% for validating the results of the network. is used. was used. Results and Discussion: In order to determine the best MLP network structure for short-term prediction of CO gas concentration, different structures were considered in terms of the number of intermediate layers, the type of network training algorithm, the type of transfer function, the number of intermediate layer neurons and the number of repetitions (Epoch) of training. The results showed that the MLP network with a structure of 1-5-3 (that is, 3 input neurons, 5 neurons in the middle layer and one neuron for the output layer) with 1500 repetitions of training per Tansig transfer function (Tansant Sigmoid) and Traingdm training algorithm (reduction gradient with momentum), is the best MLP network. In addition, the values of NSE, RMSE and MAE statistical indices for the network training stage are equal to 0.72, 0.22 and 0.15 respectively. Conclusion: Air pollution, the primary environmental challenge in Ahvaz, arises from the intersection of traffic and the oil industry. Its impacts on health and the environment necessitate comprehensive investigation. In this study, an MLP network was employed to predict CO gas concentration values in the air of Ahvaz city. The findings demonstrate that the network's accuracy and performance in forecasting CO gas concentration are at an optimal level. As this research progresses, it is recommended to extend the prediction to other gaseous pollutants and to employ optimization algorithms for determining the optimal structure of the artificial neural network Manuscript profile

        Purpose: The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of the quality of internal audit performance on the accuracy of managers' profit forecast. Methodology: The data of 136 companies listed on the Iran Stock Exchange were used during the years 2017 to 2021. Hypotheses were tested by multiple regression method considering the fixed effects of year and industry. Findings: The results of the statistical tests showed that there is a significant relationship between the quality of the internal audit and the accuracy of the company's profit forecast. Originality: Management forecasts are disclosures made by companies to communicate information about their future performance to shareholders. These disclosures are voluntary and are intended to reduce information asymmetry between management and shareholders. Inaccurate forecasts can be very costly for managers and question the credibility of managers and show managerial incompetence. The quality of the internal audit function reduces the likelihood of erroneous, biased, or incomplete information in management reports that managers use to improve their profit forecasts.

        As online social networks become more widely used, there is a growing focus on the role of recommender algorithms within these platforms. It is important to assess the accuracy of these algorithms in providing suitable recommendations. Our research demonstrates that the presence of individuals and acquaintances within social networks influences user behavior in ways that are largely psychological. Many user actions on a post are influenced by their respect or closeness to the post's owner. This article explores how the predictability of user behavior towards posts from friends and acquaintances highlights the impact of emotional connections stemming from stable social relationships on post acceptance. It also raises concerns about the potential for incorrect recommendations in algorithms based on collaborative filtering due to data bias caused by these factors. Manuscript profile

        Given the remarkable growth in online content and extensive user engagement, understanding user behavior and providing accurate content recommendations stands as a significant challenge in data mining and recommendation systems. This article introduces a comprehensive approach to enhance user profiling accuracy and increase precision in web page recommendations. It initiates this process by introducing an innovative feature called "user engagement duration with web pages," significantly aiding in improving user profiles. Leveraging these enriched profiles facilitates predicting a user's next web page visit. Evaluating this model, comparison with a scenario lacking this new feature demonstrates a substantial increase in prediction accuracy upon its inclusion. Additionally, we delve into cluster analysis, employing k-means and k-medoids algorithms, where k-medoids demonstrate greater diversity in sample clustering. The paper establishes the superiority of using k-medoids in this domain and emphasizes the importance of determining optimal cluster sizes. Ultimately, this research culminates in developing a web recommendation system capable of highly accurate predictions regarding the user's next web destination. Hence, the proposed approach enhances the model's precision in recommending links to users and promises further advancements in this field. Manuscript profile

        The predictive ability and explanatory power of an aggregate model of reported earnings is compared to adisaggregated model of reported earnings by examining their associations with contemporaneous stockreturns and future earnings. The change in annual reported earnings is disaggregated into changes in revenue,operating margin, and other expenses in order to examine whether they individually and jointly conveyinformation about future earnings that is not reflected in aggregate earnings and whether this incrementalpredictive ability is reflected in security prices.This study contributes to the information content literature in two ways. First, it examines the informationand valuation link between the operating income components of reported earnings and future earnings andstock returns. Second, the empirical analysis is conducted on an industry basis and over a eight-year periodto examine how the predictive ability and information content of earnings and its components vary acrossindustries and over time.The results indicate the following. First, changes in revenue, operating margin, and other expenses (thedisaggregated model) jointly have not predictive ability and information content beyond the change inaggregate reported earnings with respect to one-year ahead annual earnings and contemporaneous annualstock returns. Second, the predictive ability and, information content of these earnings components as well asaggregate earnings varies across industries and varies over time Manuscript profile

        Tehran's population growth and the entry of new immigrants has been one of the problems for governors, policy makers, and planners. Therefore, since the middle decades of the current century, as a concern, it has been considered as a threat to social, environmental, health, and disaster preparedness issues. However, the activities have been performed to prevent Tehran population growth, failed to achieve success and in spite of all these activities, the problem of Tehran population and immigration growth still exists.In this paper, causal layered analysis (CLA) as a futures study method is used for splitting and analyzing the several layers leading to the issue of Tehran immigration growth, and different scenarios are considered for the future. In this regard, based on analysis of the under layers and due to the uncertainty and importance, "development model" and "cultural orientation" are identified as its drivers and the scenarios are designed according to them.

        Financial market forecasting particularly stock market forecasting is a considerable debate that confront to forecast failure and model break down when structural breaks in trends occur.  This paper discusses the modeling to predict stock return under structural breaks and investigate new approaches of forecasting in this condition. This study proposes a taxonomy for research area in forecasting under structural breaks to suggest further studies. We use literature survey as methodology of the research and categorizes the methods, models, and results of the recent researches in stock market forecasting. Consequently, it provides three categories of strategies to forecast stock return under structural breaks. First strategy, called economically motivated model restrictions, uses financial theories as signs to adjust the parameters of models in out-sample periods. Second strategy, known as regime shift, uses a Markov chain transition matrix to model structural breaks in time series. Third strategy applies mix of quantitative models and qualitative surveys to predict future of financial markets. The proposed strategies are applicable in Tehran stock exchange under uncertainty conditions. Manuscript profile

        Forecasts of cash flows are considered by investors, creditors,firm employees and rating institutions. Investors regard cash flows as the input of their investment models allowing them to make decisions about returns resulted from the divided profit and capital. Creditors are interested in the decisions of paying the firm obligations exchanging with them and the employees are concerned with cash flows in terms of job security and persistence of activities of firm that they are working there. Persistence of activity and the firm ability in timely payment of debts are also highly important for rating institutions. The main purpose of the present study is the investigation of forecasting cash flows among 97 firms from the listed firms of Tehran Stock Exchange from the beginning of 1388 to the end of 1392.To investigate the research hypotheses, it was used from panel data regression model. The results showed that the costs of sold goods and the public and administrative costs have significant impacts on forecasting cash flows, however, sales, change in the payable accounts, change in the receivable accounts, change in inventory, tax and cash flows of the last year have not significant impacts on forecasting cash flows.

        Most of the futures study methods evaluate the concerning variables and drivers seperately to predict or examine the events. However, some times there is a need to analyze the event occurance probability in correlation with a series of predicted events. The Cross Impact Analysis method is the key to this problem. Requiring more complex statistical processing to achieve the results, the Cross Impact Analysis method, like the Delphi method, is based on the experts opinions. The main approach in this method is to determine the event occurance probability or various driver forces seperately and ask the experts opinions for the event occurance probability in case of other event occurances and their cross impact. In advanced methods of this analysis, discussed in this study, event occurance probability is reviewed in the chain of reasons between events. Thus, a matrix of the primary probabilities and conditional probabilities and directed event cross impact relations and driving forces is designed. The common methods of this analysis defines rules based on the two logic of probabilities and structures relations for the events impacts on each other. However, both methods are not used for the cross impacts. In this study, authors presented a new method of correlation logic to cover both positive and negative impacts of events on each other using a review on available methods of cross impact analysis. Cross impact analysis method usually leads to a scenario Manuscript profile

        The first thing that comes to mind when residential areas in the culture of contemporary Iranian architecture are studied is that achieving higher quality in residential environments is a necessity given the said point. Identifying the main factors that affect quality improvement, providing a model for quality measurement in the residential environment, and then prioritizing indexes is essential. Not only does this method study the issue of quality from the perspective of residents living in the selected complex, but also it can be used in quality improvement policies and strategies of residential environments. Therefore, this article considers three main factors: capability of intermediate spaces, quality of architectural design, and personal characteristics of residents in question. This article analyzed the relationship between these factors and the quality of residential complexes. Further, it determined environmental quality based on residents’ needs and expectations by providing a four-level model for measuring quality in residential complexes and measuring indicators from residents. Then, it identified the principal indicators in quality improvement of the environment by prioritizing indicators. This measurement used t-test, correlation, and factor analysis. The results obtained in the field of research hypotheses showed that there is a significant correlation between the indicators of the duration of residence, level of education, age and type of ownership (in the individual characteristics of residents), the ability of intermediate spaces, and the quality of architects’ design with the quality of the residential environment. The results showed that the residents of Vahdat Beton Complex are not satisfied with the quality of their residential environment. The quality score showed that the most dissatisfaction is with the area of the residential complex. Also, the consequence of the significant coefficient demonstrated that the area of the residential unit should be considered by the city officials, as their top priority. The results of the analysis of the elements that make up the quality of the environment showed that space 2 at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of the residential complex, and space 3 at the level of the residential unit is more important spaces for the residents. Moreover, the lowest level of residents’ satisfaction is with the accessibility at the level of the residential complex and the observance of privacy, overlooking, and visual pleasure at the level of the residential unit. Prioritization of measures to improve the quality of the environment showed that space 3, at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of a residential complex, spaces 1 & 3 at the level of the residential unit are the most important spaces for improving the quality of buildings. It also showed that indicators of green space and social livelihood in space 2, visual pleasure and sensual richness in space 3 of neighborhood unit level, accessibility, and readability in space3, green space and controlling the entry of strangers to the complex in space 1 of residential complex level, green space, and belonging in space 3, privacy and overlooking in space 1 of the residential unit level.  Manuscript profile

        Lida Balilan Asl (Email:lidabalilan@iaut.ac.ir) , Ph.D, Department of Art and Architecture, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran. Iraj Etesam,Ph.D, Professor, Faculty of Architecture, University of Tehran. Seyed Gholamreza Islami,Ph.D, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Architecture, University of Tehran. The research and topical purpose of this thesis is first to determine the characteristics of in-between space, then to recognize these spaces in the context of the architecture and finally to identify their role in the spatial organization of urban and architectural elements. One of the major problems in the fabric of most cities in the world, is the crisis in the identity of urban and architecture. The physical display of the identify crisis in the cities is the spatial separation of the architectural and urban elements, in the particular and whole scales. As to the claim of this thesis, an ignorance of the connective and in-between spaces is an important and impressive factor in the physical identity crisis of the historical fabrics. To obtain the mentioned objectives and to prove the hypothesis of the thesis, a phenomenological approach and historical analysis method are used to analyze the content of the texts. The theoretical basis of the thesis is founded on the researches on the various aspects of the space and on the concepts which are influential on setting limiting borders and defining the architectural spaces and consequently the in-between spaces which are analyzed according to the structural content analysis as well as analysis-comparison. Due to its nature, the in-between space has some various spatial and meaningful characteristics. This quality has caused the in-between characteristics to be expressed in terms of three forms of formal-physical, meaning-functional and connective-geometrical. Therefore, the relation and interaction of the functions require a third space between the interior and exterior spaces (in & out). Moreover the conceptual focus, the functional interaction and the formal distinguish, imply a fencing of the interior space through a threshold which allows a relation and connection with the outer space. This threshold not only determines and controls the domain and ownership, but it also plays the role of reception, interpretation, improvise and change of the information. The threshold as a distinguishing, connecting and relating factor through the transition field, intervenes in the space organization. This impact can well be observed through determining of the formation features and elements, the pattern of relationship and the discipline dominant over the relations in terms of some organizational principles such as spatial hierarchy. The obtained results suggest that the in-between space due to its constructive objectives takes on an equivocal nature. It becomes both the process and the product. Thus, it contributes to the formation process in order that a unified whole should emerge; it also helps simultaneously the concepts be classified and take orientation. Therefore, in a rotational movement the in-between space influences the spatial organization through its impact on the basics and principles. On the other hand, through its spatial features such as space relations, the spatial organization is influential in the development and evolution of the in-between spaces. The result emphasizes on the comprehensibility of the in-between spaces in the various urban and architectural scales, and consequently it puts emphasis on the significance of the in-between spaces as the major factors in the spatial organization.

        The purpose of this study is to provide a prediction model for the Tehran Stock Exchange Index using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and fuzzy regression analysis. The behavior of this index is nonlinear and chaotic that traditional methods do not predict accurately. Hence, using the above two tools and identifying three macroeconomic variables including inflation rate, exchange rate and crude oil price as independent variables, we predicted the index of the total stock index for the next week. Then, the modeling was performed using the above three variables. By comparing the results, ANFIS performance was better than fuzzy regression. The Root Mean Square Error Performance criterion was obtained for the ANFIS output of 0.021248. The prediction of the next week showed an error reduction for both tools and ANFIS again with an error value of 0.007933, yielded superior performance of the study. Also, the model with four inputs was more accurate compared to the model with three inputs. The emphasis on using macroeconomic variables, predicting the next week's index number, using the two tools mentioned, analyzing the sensitivity of the models during the research are the characteristics of this research. This research can be used by all companies in the stock exchange, investors, brokers, and individuals and legal entities dealing in any way with the stock market. Manuscript profile

        Predicting returns with the least error is one of the most important issues in financial markets that has been considered by many researchers in recent decades .Traditional linear and nonlinear models due to the inefficiency of linear models in market turbulence, the lack of correct extraction of the conditional distribution form of data due to the failure to record the conditional distribution dynamics in nonlinear models and the existence of limiting assumptions, it lacks the ability to predict returns in different market conditions. In order to eliminate the disadvantages of traditional models, in the present study using a new time-variable method called generalized autoregressive score (GAS) in order to predict the distribution of return of the total index of the stock exchange during the period 2010 to 2020 and for Bitcoin during the period 2014 to 2020. The results of modeling for the two assets by the new GAS model are compared with the results of the GARCH and AR models and their performance is tested for inside and outside the sample. The results show that in order to predict the daily return, the overall index of the new GAS model has a better performance and in order to predict the daily return of bitcoin, the GARCH model has been preferred.

        Liquidity management is one of the most important functions of financialmanagement in economic firms. In the case of financial and creditinstitutions especially banks, it has a more important role. Banks requireto maintain a portion of their assets in the form of cash in order to be ableto respond to their customer’s needs. However, it has an opportunity costfor the bank. In other words, keeping cash in current accounts ormaintaining it by Central Bank or other banks decreases the risk of bankliquidity while it deprives banks of investment opportunities and declinesthe bank returns.In this study, therefore, we tried to design a model in order to forecast thecash amounts of EN-Bank kept in current accounts or maintained byCentral Bank or other banks which is totally called “Bank Liquidity”.Thus, forecast was done based on input cash flow during a specificperiod. Then by comparing this with the goals and strategies of the bank,it has been planned to eliminate the budget deficit or surplus consumptionin order to reach the equilibrium at the end of the period. In this method,current accounts, interbank accounts and funds are considered asliquidity.

In this paper, we have investigated the nonlinear behavior of natural gas prices in a multi-year period, as well we have introduced methods for the development and synthesis of fractalization (FDGM) has been used to predict the price of natural gas. The results of the price forecast based on the introduced methods, Indicates the effectiveness of these methods. At the same time, given the fractal nature of the price of natural gas in the period under review, the results show that the forecast error using the FDGM method is always below 7%. And very good results were obtained using combination fractional and fractional methods. Manuscript profile

        In emerging capital markets, the inability of investors to analyze financial information, scarcity of information, as well as the impact of macroeconomic and political factors on financial markets, causes the investor to focus on market excitement and the behavior of other investors. The emotional and herd behaviors of investors are the source of the emergence of various anomalies such as price bubbles and the formation of sharp fluctuations in the market. Managers also have behavioral biases such as overconfidence, myopia and narcissism, which leads to a favorable image of the business and delays in presenting bad news, resulting in stock price bubbles. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of biases of investors and managers' behavior on the stock price bubble. The research sample included 129 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period 1392 to 398.To test the hypotheses, multivariate regression method with combined data was used.The results show that investors' behavioral distortions (emotional and herd behavior) increase the gap between the intrinsic stock price of the company and its value set by investors and lead to the formation of stock price bubbles. Managers' behavioral biases (overconfidence myopia and narcissism) also lead to the emergence of stock price bubbles. Manuscript profile

        In this research, we assessed the extent to which stock market information can beused to predict leading indicators of the bank financial distress.Likewise, we specified and tested a logit early warning model of bank financialdistress, designed for Iranian banks, which tests if market-based indicators addpredictive value to models relying on accounting data obtained from stock market.On the other hand, we studied the robustness of the link between marketinformation and financial downgrading of a bank in the light of the safely net andasymmetric information hypotheses. In the end, we concluded that some of the resultsof accomplished studies, support the use of market-related indicators in order topredict the financial distress.Other results, however, show that the accuracy of the predictive power of thefinancial distress depends on the extent to which bank liabilities are market traded. Itmeans that if the bank undertakes to offer accurate data to the market, then a muchbetter prediction can be made based on the bank data. Manuscript profile

        In recent years with the increasing integration and innovation in financial markets, concerns about the overall stability of the financial system has increased and the concept of systemic risk has become more important. systemic risk is the risk imposed by interlinkages and interdependencies in a system or market, where the failure of a single entity or cluster of entities can cause a crisis in the entire system or market. In this study, we presented a framework for measuring and predicting systemic risk in the capital market of Iran using conditional value at risk approach (CoVaR). On this basis, ΔCoVaR as a measure of systematic risk using quintile regression based on a set of state variables that indicates changes in the distribution of asset returns has been estimated. As well as to enhance the accuracy of the estimate, the research variables modeled after the conditional autoregressive value at risk model (CAViaR) has been developed and some Lagged firm specific characteristic has also been added. In order to test the validity of the model back testing methods have been used. On the other hand, The potential for systemic risk increases when volatility decreases (volatility paradox). In this study, we try to predict systemic risk by take advantage of the panel structure of the data and the relationship between ΔCoVaR and firm-specific variables that are available in certain sections.

        This study explores the role of information flow in stock return predictability in Iranian stock market. The empirically motivated models estimated using the monthly data of the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) for the period of 2001:01 to 2011:12. While Iranian stock market return is high predictable, the source of return predictability is shown to vary considerably with information flow. The results show that the relevance of the first-order autocorrelation decreases with volatility and reversely, the relevance of a conditional multifactor asset pricing model increases with volatility in this market. Furthermore, the results indicating that the local market risk and changes in oil price affect the expected aggregate return in periods of high information. Manuscript profile

        Specifying the governing process of stock market’s return with the goal of making optimal decisions and reducing the risk cost has a great importance for investors and policy makers. The importance of market analysis on one hand and the effort for comprehending the markets on the other hand resulted in that, after the assumptions of efficient market were challenged and universal financial facts such as “fat tails” and “volatility clustering” were discovered, analysts leaned toward multifractaly and Lévy models and moved away from models with random characteristics and normal distribution. This caused multifractal models to be used in different segments of the market. In this article the multifractal approach that in recent years has been used for forecasting and modeling volatility, will be examined. In the beginning the origin of this approach that stems from turbulent flows in statistic physic will be introduced and in the following sections the details about the specifications and features of multifractal time series models, available approaches for estimating them and empirical uses of this model will be mentioned. The results of this research show that the dynamic nature of capital market has caused the approaches, methods and models of market analysis to be permanently changing. In addition, for volatility clustering of time series, smaller scales are considered. Manuscript profile

        In its most basic form, overconfidence can be summarized as unwarranted faith in one’s intuitive reasoning, judgments, and cognitive abilities .The objective of this study is to examine the effects of this important bias on decisions of investors. Here, besides measuring various aspects of overconfidence(mis calibration, illusion of control, optimism about future, better than average effect, volatility estimation), the relation between individual overconfidence aspects and three performance measures including trading volume of individual investors, number of orders and individual returnhas been tested. The result shows correlation coefficient of 0.747 with99 percent confidence level between overconfidence and number of orders. Also correlation coefficient of 0.695 with99 percent confidence level exists between overconfidence and order volume and finally more overconfidence does not result in more individual returns.

The data was split into estimation period (5 years of daily data) and forecast period (daily data of the remaining 6 months). The competing models were estimated using maximum likelihood method and based on moving window approach, in which the length of estimating period was kept fixed, and projections were conducted on a daily basis. Root Mean Square Error, RMSE, approach was employed to measure forecasting error of each model. The one with less error will express more capability in forecasting daily volatility.

        By the fact that most of the public and private sector financing comes from the country's banking sector, It is important to maintain stability and prevent a crisis in the banking system. The purpose of this study is to identify the banking crisis using the Banking Stress Index in the Iranian economy for the period of 1398-1388. The Banking Stress Index is the best benchmark for assessing the banking crisis that reflects uncertainty, instability and financial friction in the banking system. In this study, the design of a bank stress index was performed using a dynamic factor model. This model is estimated by the maximum likelihood method and the stochastic pattern of missing data. Using six variables determining the banking crisis in the country, two banking stress indices with two different natures have been estimated in time series to examine the stability of the banking system. Finally, both indices of stress showed estimation; there is a precise timing of the coincidence between the greatest amounts of bank stress and the shocks to the Iranian economy. It was also concluded that bank stress indicators reflect the effects of external factors, including sanctions on the banking system fundamental weaknesses of the banking system, as well as being able to predict banking crises Manuscript profile

        In this paper we compare a set of different standard GARCH models with a group ofMarkov Regime-Switching GARCH (MRS-GARCH) in terms of their ability to forecastthe petroleum futures markets volatility at horizons that range from one day to onemonth. To take into account the excessive persistence usually found in GARCH modelsthat implies too smooth and too high volatility forecasts, MRS-GARCH models, wherethe parameters are allowed to switch between a low and a high volatility regime, areanalyzed. Both gaussian and fat-tailed conditional distributions for the residuals areassumed, and the degrees of freedom can also be state-dependent to capture possibletime-varying kurtosis. The forecasting performances of the competing models areevaluated with statistical loss functions. Under statistical losses, we use both tests ofequal predictive ability of the Diebold-Mariano-type and test of superior predictiveability, such as White􀀀s Reality Check and Hansen􀀀s SPA test. The empirical analysisdemonstrates that MRS-GARCH models do really outperform all standard GARCHmodels in forecasting volatility at shorter horizons according to a broad set of statisticalloss functions. At longer horizons standard asymmetric GARCH models fare the best.All this tests reject the presence of a better model than the MRS-GARCH-t in thisresearch Manuscript profile

Hence, this study has inaddition to examine the existence of the long memory in both mean and varianceequations in the return series of Tehran stock exchange, Pays to forecasting the volatilityof this index. For this purpose, the daily data from fifth Farvardin 1388 to eighteenthOrdibehesht 1391 is used. Our results confirm the existence of Long Memory in bothmean and variance equations. However, among others, based on the information criteriaand MSE, ARFIMA (1,2)-FIGARCH(BBM) model has been selected as the bestspecification to model and forecast the volatility of Tehran stock exchange’s return. Aswell, in order to Forecasting the volatility of this series, was used Combination of theabove model with Level and decomposed data. The results show that, according to theforecasting error criteria (MSE and RMSE), the result of model’s based on decomposeddata (with wavelet technique), more acceptable. Manuscript profile

        The main goal of the current study is to investigate the contagion of uncertainty between sectors (finance, housing and macroeconomics) using a dynamic approach. In this regard, using monthly data in the period from 2008:4 to 2020:3, DCC-GARCH models and generalized forecast error variance decomposition (GFEVD), The overall dynamic relationship as well as the directional pairs dynamic relationship of uncertainty indicators between the mentioned sections are investigated. The results of this study show that the housing sector, with the exception of the beginning of 2017, is a net receiver of uncertainty from the other two sectors. Also, the results of the current research show the dual role of the financial sector in the mechanism of inter-sector uncertainty transfer, so that at some periods it is a net receiver of uncertainty and at some other periods (including the years 2017 and 2018) it is a net source and transmitter of uncertainty in the three indicators system. Inflation uncertainty, as an index of macroeconomic uncertainty, is a major source of uncertainty and a transmitter of uncertainty to the financial and housing sectors. Manuscript profile

Methods of time series analysis and nonlinear methods such as neural network models as long as are used to forecast such variables . GDP's time series is variable that after the decomposition, with wavelet - a powerful tool for processing data- and analyzing the hidden layers, at some levels, has linear behavior and at other levels, has nonlinear behavior.Therefore, the proposed method would be thus that the time series of quarterly GDP for the period 1367 to 1389 using wavelet techniques are decomposed into different scale components. Next, the approximation level (trend) and cycles with linear behavior have predicted with ARIMA model, and cycles with the nonlinear behavior have predicted with neural network model.The results show that the performance of the proposed method is better than the neural network (NARNET) and ARIMA models.

        This research is an estimation of the exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Iranian Rial, for the period between 1352 and 1387. Using ARDL method for hypothesis testing, and selecting the optimal model, the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) are used to test our hypothesis. The selection of the optimal model for prediction is based on the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) theory and the Monetary Approach to Balance of Payment. The results of this study indicate that the PPP model is a more accurate indicator of the exchange rate, and is therefore preferred to the monetary approach.   Manuscript profile

        The ARIMA model is a precise forecasting model for short time periods, but the limitation of a large amount of historical data is required. However, in our society, due to uncertainty and rapid development of new technology, we usually have to forecast future situations using little data in a short span of time. The historical data must be less than what the ARIMA model employs which limits its application. The fuzzy regression is able to forecast model which is suitable for the uncertain condition and with little attainable historical data. But the results of this model cannot be encouraging because the spread is wide in some cases. The researchers do try to combine the advantages of the fuzzy regression and ARIMA models to formulate the FARIMA model and to overcome the limitations of the fuzzy regression and ARIMA model. Therefore, in this study, a synthetic fuzzy auto regressive integrated moving average (FARIMA) is employed to forecast crude oil price. The findings show that the proposed method can get more satisfactory results. Manuscript profile

        The economy of every country is composed of different sectors in which, the relationship amongst them determines the dimensions of the economy of that country. The capital market together with money market make up the financial market as the main arteries of an economy. Their operation has a significant influence on the growth and development of the economy. In cases where there is no constructive relationship between the financial market and economic sectors, economic performance might be subject to distortions. The stock market as a fundamental pillar of the financial market plays a crucial role in facilitating investments in the capital market. Given the importance of expectations in different economic fields, the main purpose of this study, as its title explains, is to anticipate of Iran Mercantile Exchange (IME) gold coin price Therefore, after a brief review of dominant economic theories, a new method, artificial neural network GMDH, is used to forecast the impact of macroeconomic variables( including the rate u.s. dollar as foreign exchange, the price of gold coin, the price of gold and oil in termes of dollar, the over-all index of stocks, the delivery date of gold coin) on the gold coin price. The GMDH Algorithm is a nonlinear model to anticipate complex systematic relationships between variables of the model. The special feature of this deductive algorithm is recognition and screening of the most effective variables to estimate the model with training samples and omit the non-significant ones from the simulation process with testing samples. So, an attempt is made to solve the model via iterative methods to minimize the typical standard Error like RMSE, MAPE, and so on. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: prediction the per capita health expenditures can be useful and effective in determining the best policies for financing and managing of health expenditures. Accordingly, the main objective of this study was to predict the per capita health expenditures trend in Iran. Methods: In this paper, we specified a health expenditure model relying on theoretical basics in order to obtain desirable forecasts. On the basis of three forms of linear, exponential and quadratic equations and using theoretical foundations in the field of per capita health expenditure function, we used genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to simulate Iranians per capita health expenditure during 1979-2015. Then we selected the superior model in terms of prediction power criteria and forecast per capita health expenditure until 2041. Also, the statistical analyzes were performed using the MATLAB software version R2016b. Results: The predicted results indicate that per capita health expenditures in Iran will increase with a positive slope by 2041. The amount of this expenditure will be from $ 1081 (based on 2011 constant prices) in 2015 to $ 2628 in 2041 (about 2.5 times). Conclusion: With regard to the projected amount of per capita health expenditures up to 2041 horizon, policy makers in the health sector should take the necessary measures to finance the expenditures of this sector.

        Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 is a respiratory disease caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2. Forecasting the number of new cases and deaths during todays can be a useful step in predicting the costs and facilities needed in the future. This study aims to modeling, comparing the performance of models, and predict new cases and deaths efficiently in the future. Methods: In this article nine popular forecasting techniques are tested on the data of Covid-19 in Bahabad city as a case study. Using the evaluation criteria of mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and the mean absolute percentage of error (MAPE) of the models are compared.  Results: The results of the analysis showed that the best model according to the evaluation criteria for forecasting cumulative cases of hospitalization of Covid-19 is the cubic spline smoothing model, and cumulative cases of death, KNN regression model. Also, autoregressive neural network and theta models for hospitalization cases, and for death cases, autoregressive neural network model has the worst performance among other models. Conclusion: This study can provide a proper understanding of the spread of covid-19 disease in this region so that by taking precautionary measures and formulating appropriate policies, this epidemic can be effectively overcome. Also, unlike other studies, this study uses 9 different techniques and their comparison, which in turn increases the confidence factor in decision making. Also, an important point is that the data should be updated in real time. Manuscript profile

        Marketing managers are interested in consumer purchase intentions so as to prognosticate sales of existing and/or new products and services. Purchase intentions data can help managers in their marketing decisions related to product demand (new and existing products), market segmentation and promotional strategies. Luxury brand products and the motivation to buy luxury brands are becoming increasingly relevant to consumers in Asia. Luxury-purchase motivation predominantly based on Western thoughts and markets .Cultural values have been shown to influence consumer behavior in many studies. Establishing whether relationships exist between cultural values and motivation for consuming luxury products would be advantageous for the marketers of luxury products . The present study focuses on factors affecting the purchase intention of luxury products. Primary Tools for Data Collection was Likert's 5-scale questionnaire. Statistical Population is composed of all customers attending selected fancy and luxurious restaurants in Tehran. Since the statistical sample is infinite (over 100000 subjects), the sample size was determined to include 385 subjects by means of Kergesi Morgan's Table (1970), and simple random sampling method was applied. In order to analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics and the structural equation modeling were employed with SPSS and Lisrel software programs. The research, in terms of purpose, is practical and the method of data collection is survey. Research results suggest that the variables of consumer attitude toward luxurious products, quality of the service provided by fancy and luxurious restaurants, perception of brand and social effect affect the purchase intention, while the variables of store image (restaurant) and vanity bring about no impact on the purchase intention. In addition, the variable of vanity does not exert any moderating effect on the relation between perception of luxurious brand and purchase intention and between the social effect and purchase intention.

Although some jurists have equated the harmlessness, hardship and new swindling rules with the theory of Imprevision in French law, a distinction must be made between the above rules and the theory of Imprevision. However, the theory of hardship has enough consistency to resolve the troublesome situation of unpredictability and prevention until the ambiguity is resolved and a new rule is enacted. In other words, judicial modification or revocation of the contract, like the theory of non-contingency after the amendments to the French Civil Code, can be deduced from the rule of hardship.Key Word: theory of Imprevision, harmlessness rule, hardship rule, the theory new swindling Manuscript profile

The information which isissued with a company and as a results earnings , is based on past events but investorsneed information about firm’s future. Firm’s Managements who have enoughinformation and resource, hasten the efficiency of financial market by earningsforecast . Prior researches has indicated that managements forecasts have effect onstock price, stock markets liquidity and analysts forecasts . On the other hand, theaccuracy or error of predicted earnings is affected by size, age , structure of companyand etc . Also it’s confirmed that managements psychological bias has impact ontheir forecasts . further empirical researches show that accounting policies areconservative and become more conservative from thirty past years (Watts,2003).Basu(1997) and following him found evidence of accounting conservatismdevelopment. Li(2007), also, find that in times of growth in investment, accountingconservatism leads to a downward bias in reported earnings and net assets. In thispaper, we examine the effect of accounting conservatism on management earningsforecasting error. Empirical findings are according to a sample from 88 companies ofTehran stock exchange during the period of 1998-2008 support our hypotheses.

        Increased financial reporting frequency is characterized as an appropriate mechanism which contributes to the enhancement of managerial information transparency and influences investment decision-making process. Despites of these significant influences, however, some studies reveal that it can persuade CEOs to adopt myopic approaches. The present study thus seeks to investigate the relationship between financial reporting frequency and management myopia in the firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange over the period of 2013-2017. In pursuit of this goal, the research hypothesis is built upon a sample of 51 listed firms and then tested using multivariate logistic regression model. The results document a significantly positive relationship between financial reporting frequency and managerial myopia. In other words, increasing the frequency of financial reporting will lead to management myopia, which causes executives to ignore investment in R&D, marketing, and long-term activities that benefit the company.

Overall, our evidence suggests that managers turn to real earnings management or downward forecast guidance as a substitute mechanism to avoid negative earnings surprises when their ability to manipulate accruals upward is constrained by the extent to which net assets are already overstated in the balance sheet. Nevertheless, our evidence should be interpreted with caution given the limitations of our study.

        Prediction of total cost of water helps the Isfahan municipality to optimize thewater usage in its 14 urban zone. The total cost of water, basically, depends ondifferent parameters. Generally, the analytically prediction of the total cost is verydifficult if not impossible. Thus, applying intelligent systems such as neural networkmodels can be a good alternative. In this paper, using multi-layer perceptron neuralnetwork and error back propagation algorithm, the total cost of municipal water in theIsfahan municipality is calculated based on parameters such as per capita populationand area of each urban zone. In this paper, a model for simulation and prediction ofthe annual total cost of water in Isfahan municipality is developed. The simulationmodel is developed using the regression and the neural network model is built usingdata from 2004 to 2009. Finally, the neural network method is selected as the mainsimulation method for forecasting the total cost of water in the 14 urban zones ofIsfahan. Manuscript profile

        Management earnings predictive quality, is much higher than predictions by individuals outside the organization. Because managing more information about the status of the company, it is aware of the current plans of the company and has access to the details of financial information from previous periods. In addition, it often allocates significant resources to financial forecasts. The main issue is not whether stock price pressures affect the management earnings predictive quality? The main objective of this research is to investigate the effect of stock price pressure on management earnings expectations in listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange. Measurement criterion for managers' earnings forecast; Earnings per share are forcasted, managers earnings forecast error and manager earnings aggressive forecast. To test the hypotheses of the research, multiple linear regression model has been used. The results of the survey of 140 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during the period from 2011 to 2016 indicate that stock price pressures have a negative effect on managers earnings forecasting. In addition, the research evidence showed that stock price pressures have a positive effect on the forecast error of managers' earnings. Also, the results showed that stock price pressure had a positive effect on the manager earning aggressive forecast. These results indicate the importance and effectiveness of stock price pressures in managerial earnings forecasts. Manuscript profile

        Investors in the stock market decide on the risk factors, returns, and stock liquidity. Considering the impact of the company's disclosure quality on these factors, management's forecast errors can increase the risk of a company. On the other hand, by strengthening the company's information environment, perhaps the weaknesses of the management forecast error can be reduced. So this study investigates the effect of information environment on the relationship between management forecast error and idiosyncratic risk. Study population includes qualified companies in Tehran stock exchange. After using systematic elimination methods, data from 56 companies in 2010 -2017 period is used, but for extracting data the period is 2009 to 2017. To test study hypothesis, multi-variable regression methods using panel data is utilized. Information asymmetry is used to evaluate information environment; Management error in forecasting net income, operating income and sales is used for estimating management forecast errors; and fore measuring Idiosyncratic risk, Asynchronicity and Idiosyncratic Volatility is utilized. Results of this study show a significant direct relationship between management forecast error and idiosyncratic risk. In addition, in companies with stronger information environment, the direct relationship between management forecast error and non-systematic risk is lower. Manuscript profile

        Earning as the most important product of the accounting information system should be of an acceptable quality. Because earning is the basis of the economic decision-making of investors. Investors tend to have information about the future, including the prediction of earnings per share and its precautionary prediction. However, managers' opportunistic behavior by manipulating earnings reduces the reliance on information and reduces the quality of earning. In contrast to accounting conservatism, the manager's biased behavior in identifying earnings is delayed. Hence, the conservatism makes the manager and other groups, such as shareholders, receive less sums of return. This will increase the value of the company. The increased value of the company increases among all the parties in the company's division of the division and welfare of each group. Hence, this research examines the effect of earnings management on the relationship between earnings forecast error and accounting conservatism in a period of 9 years from the over a of 2009 to 2017 in 115 companies from listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange. The results of the research show that there is a significant (positive) relation between the predictive error of earning and the accounting conservatism (as one of the criteria of the quality of earnings) in the real earnings management. But the results of this research do not confirm the significant relationship between the predictive error of earnings and accounting conservatism in accruing earnings management. Manuscript profile

        The aim of current study was comparing the diagnostic performance of computed radiography with that of analog radiography in evaluation of interstitial lung pattern based on histopathology as a gold standard. Twenty domestic shorthair cats apart from weight, age and gender differences after clinical examination were studied in lateral and ventrodorsal projections with both computed and analog radiography. Then, three radiologists independently evaluated the radiographs. Histopathology investigation used as gold standard to confirm the interstitial lung pattern detected on the radiographs. Statistical data of two radiologic approaches were analyzed by Cohen’s Kappa test and the sensitivity and specificity of each approach were also calculated. The agreement for the interstitial lung pattern was fair for both systems, but computed radiography was more sensitive. In current study the ability of computed radiography was equivalent or superior to conventional radiography for evaluation of interstitial lung pattern, since displaying more radiographic details. Accordingly, it can be a proper substitute for analog radiography considering its advantages including elimination of dark room, high contrast resolution and wide dynamic range. Manuscript profile

        The Urmia Lake is the largest and the most important internal lake in Iran and is one of the most valuable international hemispherical resources in the world. But the Lake has been gradually getting dried nowadays. If the Lake gets completely dried, irreparable environmental, economical and social damages would be appeared in the region. So, finding a practical solution for surviving the Urmia Lake is crucial. In the present research, it has been tried to predict the inflows of the rivers leading to the Urmia Lake, once based on the long term period’s recorded data and another time based on the recent dry period’s recorded data, by using autoregressive moving average (ARMA) time series models in order to exert the effects of the recent drought in the forecasted data. The ARMA models are developed in the MATLAB soft ware. After calibration of the created models, the predicted discharges of the basin’s rivers were entered into the simulation model of MODSIM in order to estimate the water consumptions in the basin's future condition and finally the entering flows to the Urmia Lake in each of two forecasting scenarios. Results show that in each of two forecasting scenarios of long and short periods, the environmental water right of the lake wouldn’t be supplied totally. Also, if the agricultural water consumptions would get reduced about 14% and 56% in long and short periods respectively, the lake’s water right would be supplied completely. Manuscript profile

        Drought is a natural phenomenon, which has a complex mechanism as a result of interactions of meteorological parameters and usually occurs in all climates. So, predicting drought indices and their chronological evaluation is an effective way for the drought management and adaptation with its consequences. In the current research, prediction of drought indices are carried out for Tabriz synoptic station, using  support vector regression, multiple linear regression and standard precipitation index (SPI) for the time period of 1979 to 2012. In this regard, for predicting SPI indices in the periods of 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 months, six different input combinations including the antecedent correspondent values of the mentioned index have been utilized. The results of statistical analysis showed that both methods had significant accuracy. Nonetheless, the support vector regressions for predicting SPI-6, SPI-9 and SPI-24 had better performances, regarding the root mean squared errors of 0.4985, 0.4340 and 0.2427, respectively. However, the multiple linear regressions showed lower relative errors, for predicting SPI-3, SPI-12 and SPI-48. Meanwhile, it can be concluded that both examined methods including support vector and multiple linear regressions had acceptable predictions of drought index and can be used with an admissible confidentiality for the management of drought consequences.   Manuscript profile

        Rivers flow prediction in river basins has an important role in the operation and correct management of water resources. Determining type and number of estimator models inputs is one of the important steps in rivers flow prediction. Therefore, The Procrustes analysis (PA) method for determining the number of effective inputs was used. In this study, flow prediction was done using the flow data obtained from the Safakhaneh and Santeh hydrometric stations. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and The Support Vector Machine (SVM) models was used for flow prediction. The best estimation of flow is done using the MLP and SVM models in Safakhaneh hydrometric station with RMSE equal to 5.68 (m3/s) and 4.85 (m3/s), respectively, and CC equal to 0.73 and 0.78, respectively. While in Santeh hydrometric station RMSE was equal to 6.44 (m3/s) and 6.36 (m3/s) respectively, and CC was equal to 0.78 and 0.79 respectively for MLP and SVM models. PA-SVM model showed better results than SVM model in estimating Safakhaneh hydrometric stations flow with RMSE equal to 5.45 (m3/s) and CC equal to 0.73 during the test period. The results also indicated that SVM and PA-SVM models estimated the flow of Santeh station with RMSE equal to 6.85 (m3/s) and 7.03 (m3/s) respectively. Basically, results indicated that the Procrustes analysis method can be used as one of the Efficient and suitable methods for determining the number of effective inputs. Comparison of the ANN and SVM results indicated that ANN model has more accuracy than SVM model.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Evapotranspiration as one of the main components of the hydrological cycle, has a significant role in proper irrigation planning and water resources management. In this case, estimating evapotranspiration is limited due to a lack of data and a deficiency of meteorological stations. Therefore, today numerical models such as WRF are a powerful tool for generating and predicting meteorological quantities (wind speed, humidity, etc.) that are needed to estimate evapotranspiration. So far, no research has been conducted to investigate the effect of different schemes of the WRF model on the estimate of rice evapotranspiration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of the WRF model and obtain the result for estimating evaporation for rice plant in the central plain of Guilan.Method: Evapotranspiration rates vary from 2.7 to 8.5 mm per day. The average ET during three different periods of plant growth, including the initial, middle, and final periods, is estimated to be 4.63, 5.97, and 5.98 mm per day, respectively. The three configurations 1, 2, and 4 are mainly overestimated in predicting evapotranspiration of rice plants, and the computational values are estimated to be higher than the values measured by the lysimeter. The results show that the highest amount of RMSE occurred in configuration No. 4 at 8.47 and the lowest rate occurred in configuration No. 3 at 1.26. Summary of results shows that configuration No. 3 in all four criteria mentioned has performed better than other configurations to predict daily evapotranspiration of rice. The results showed that the non-local schema used in the model, simulates better than the local schemas for the daily evapotranspiration of the rice plant. Findings show that in the local YSU schema, the accuracy of predictions is significantly increased and is only 0.64 mm on average less than the estimated lysimetric data.Results: The results showed that using appropriate schemas in the surface layer and boundary layer of the WRF model, affects on accuracy of evapotranspiration predictions. The results of this study showed that, this model by using the YSU non-local boundary layer scheme can accurately predict the evapotranspiration rates of the rice plant for the next day and this is due to the higher ability of this schema in predicting the parameters affecting evapotranspiration (including temperature and wind). Therefore, the WRF model can be implemented by using GFS forecast data for the next few days and by applying the FAO-Penman-Monteith equations to the model outputs, the values of potential evapotranspiration for different regions of the country can be calculated. Since evapotranspiration is directly related to atmospheric thermodynamic processes, so using other different atmospheric physics schemas (not considered in this study) can produce different results.

        Artificial neural networks (ANN) are one of the data mining methods applied by many researchers in different fields of studies such as rainfall runoff modeling. To improve the performance of these networks, deep learning neural networks were developed to increase modeling accuracy. This study evaluated deep learning networks to improve the performance of artificial neural networks in Galikesh watershed and to predict discharge for 1, 3, 6 and 12-month time scale based on 1 to 5 month time scale lags made in precipitation and temperature data. Based on 70% and 30% of the data used for training and test respectively the results demonstrated that in all time steps, the deep learning neural network improved the performance of artificial neural network and on average RMSE decreased in both training and test from 0.68 to 0.65 and 0.84 to 0.73 respectively. Moreover, R-square was increased on average from 0.57 to 0.62 and 0.51 to 0.67 respectively in training and test. We can also denote the effect of temperature on the increase of accuracy of rainfall-runoff modeling. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Drought as a natural hazard significantly impacts various sectors such as agriculture and water resources and causes considerable damage to these sectors worldwide. Therefore, adaptation strategies should be taken to reduce drought damage, and in the meantime, planning and adaptation to drought conditions using drought forecasting is one of the most effective strategies. Due to the need for drought forecasting and the limited studies that evaluated drought indicators obtained from the rainfall forecast output from the North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) in Iran. This study evaluated these models in four catchments of Karkheh, Karun, Heleh, and Hindijan-Jarahi for1982-2018.Method: In this study, the monthly output of different NMME ensembles were evaluated in the forecast leads of 0 to 9 months from 1982 to 2018, the SPI drought index was calculated. Comparison of these data with GPCC data was used for evaluation. Three quantitative criteria, including correlation coefficient, RMSE, and BIAS, were used for evaluation. Also, to integrate the existing models, two methods: a: Arithmetic mean between the existing models and B: Weighted average between the models have been evaluated by considering the correlation coefficient (CC) results. Also, two criteria (i.e., POD and FAR) and the quantitative statistical criterion (i.e., correlation coefficient) were used to evaluate the SPI drought index.Results: The results of the precipitation evaluation of the models showed that the integrated models have better performance than the individual models. In this integrated model, the weighted model also had better performance. Evaluation of spatial distribution of precipitation models also showed the excellent performance of NMME models in Karun and Hindijan-Jarahi catchments in the zero-month forecast lead and Hindijan-Jarahi catchments in the one-month forecast lead. The results of drought index evaluation showed that integrated models, although having better performance in precipitation forecasting, but in drought forecasting, the best performance belongs to NASA-GMAO-062012 and CFSv2 models. The results also showed that drought index forecasts in three and six-month periods have better performance than one month. Spatial distribution evaluation also showed that the models perform better in the southern basins. In general, it can be concluded that NMME models have good performance in predicting drought in some places and specific forecast leads, so they should be evaluated at each point before use.Conclusion: The results of precipitation evaluation showed that, in general, integrating the output of dynamic models increases its proficiency, and integration in weighted mode (WeightedNMME) performs better than the non-weighted model (NMME). According to the zero-month forecast among individual models, the NASA-GMAO-062012 model has the most skills in terms of the correlation coefficient. However, in the one-month forecast lead in terms of the correlation coefficient, RMSE and BIAS, the best performance belongs to the CFSv2 model. Evaluation of drought indices showed that the model's performance could be different from their performance in predicting rainfall. WeightedNMME, for example, performed well in NASA-GMAO-062012 and CFSv2 months, although they performed well in predicting drought. The spatial evaluation also showed that the southern catchments perform better than other basins. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: The occurrence of frequent floods in Iran necessitates a flood forecasting and warning system with a suitable lead time. The use of numerical rainfall forecasting models in flood forecasting and warning is one of the important measures taken by researchers in most parts of the world. The TIGGE database includes mid-term precipitation forecasts simulated by global forecast centers. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the efficiency and the degree of uncertainty caused by the rainfall forecasts of four numerical models of the TIGGE database (including CPTEC, ECCC, ECMWF, and KMA) for simulating floods with the HEC-HMS hydrological model.Methods: In this research, the precipitation data of seven meteorological stations were used to evaluate the uncertainty of discharge from TIGGE database precipitation prediction models in the Poldokhtar watershed. Also, three flood events on March 24, 2017, April 6, 2018, and April 15, 2018, were studied. At first, precipitation forecasts were extracted from four centers CPTEC, ECCC, ECMWF, and KMA. Due to the existence of systematic error in the forecasts, a bias correction was done on them, and to correct the bias, the Delta method was used. Processed and raw forecasts of four rainfall forecasting models were entered into the HEC-HMS model for flood forecasting, and in the next step, the flow uncertainty assessment of the HEC-HMS model was performed in all members of the four rainfall forecasting models. In this research, 5 factors P, R, S, T, and RD were used for uncertainty analysis.Results: The results indicate the significant superiority of the ECMWF model in predicting precipitation events. The use of all 4 rainfall sources led to an acceptable simulation of the flood peak flow in three different events. Also, the predicted peak discharge time had little difference from the observed data. According to the results of the uncertainty analysis, the ECMWF model was considered the best model based on P, R, S, T, and RD factors. The KMA model performed well in severe and very severe floods. The group prediction system of TIGGE models also had an acceptable performance in all events. Also, the hydrological-meteorological prediction model predicted the time of flood occurrence and the probability of occurrence well.Conclusion: The intended research investigates flood forecasting and warning in the Poldokhtar watershed using the meteorological-hydrological system, based on meteorological forecasts of the TIGGE database and flood simulation using the HEC-HMS hydrological model. The final product of this system is probable discharge and flood forecast. The results reveal the success of the TIGGE database in flood forecasting. The ECMWF model excelled in predicting peak discharge. The upper and lower band calculation method was used to determine the uncertainty, which showed the uncertainty well. This system displayed the time of peak discharge well and with a small time delay, which indicates its good performance. The predicted rainfall from the four centers used in this study (ECMWF, ECCC, CPTEC, and KMA) have significant differences. To reduce these differences, we used a multi-model group forecasting system that had encouraging results. Manuscript profile

        Background and Aim: Rainfall is one of the complex natural phenomena and one of the most crucial component of the water cycle, playing a significant role in assessing the climatic characteristics of each region. Understanding the amount and trends of rainfall changes is essential for effective management and more precise planning in agricultural, economic, and social sectors, as well as for studies related to runoff, droughts, groundwater status, and floods. Additionally, rainfall prediction in urban areas has a significant impact on traffic control, sewage flow, and construction activities. Method: The objective of this study is to compare the accuracy of classification models, including Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID), C5 decision tree, Naive Bayes (NB), Quest tree, and Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in predicting rainfall occurrence using 50 years of data from the synoptic station at Hamedan Airport. In this study, 80% of the data is used for training the models, and 20% for model validation and the results obtained from the model executions are compared using metrics such as confusion matrix, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) index. To create the classification variable for rainfall and non-rainfall data, based on rainfall data, the days of the year are categorized into two classes: days with rainfall (y) and days without rainfall (n). Data preprocessing is performed using Automatic Data Preprocessing (ADP). Then, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is employed to reduce the dimensions of the variables. Results: In this study, the PCA method reduces the dimensions of the variables to 5. Also, approximately 80% of the available data corresponds to rainless days, while 20% corresponds to rainy days. The research results indicated that the KNN model with an accuracy of 91.9% for training data and the SVM model with 89.13% for test data exhibit the best performance among the data mining models. The AUC index for the KNN model is 0.967 for training data and 0.935 for test data, while for the SVM algorithm, it is 0.967 for training data and 0.935 for test data. According to the ROC curve for Hamedan rainfall data, the KNN model outperforms other models. Considering the sensitivity index in the confusion matrix, the KNN and SVM models perform better in predicting non-rainfall occurrence for training data. In terms of the precipitation occurrence prediction, the RT and KNN models show better results according to the specificity index. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that for the RT, C5, ANN, SVM, BN, KNN, CHAID, QUEST, accuracy metrics was obtained 86.82%, 89.78%, 89.55%, 89.96%, 88.06%, 91.9%, 88.29%, 87.46%, 91.9%, respectively for training data. Moreover, for test data, the accuracy metrics for this model was obtained 83.82%, 87.9%, 88.12%, 89.13%, 87.12%, 89.13%, 87.12%, 88.19%, 86.93%, 86.76%, respectively. The AUC index in the training data for RT, C5, ANN, SVM, BN, KNN, CHAID QUEST models was 0.94%, 0.99%, 0.94%, 0.94%, 0.93%, 0.97%, 0.93%, 0.89%, respectively. In addition, for the test data, this metric was evaluated 0.89%, 0.89%, 0.93%, 0.94%, 0.92%, 0.90%, 0.92%, 0.88% respectively. As observed, considering accuracy metric and AUC index for training data KNN model and for test data SVM model were more sufficient in rainfall prediction.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives: Drought is regarded as a serious threat for people and environment. As a result, finding some indices to forecast the drought is an important issue that needs to be addressed urgently. The appropriate and flexible index for drought classification is the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). Artificial intelligence models were commonly used to forecast SPI time series. These models are based on auto regressive property. So, they are not able to monitor the seasonal and long-term patterns in time series. In this study, the Wavelet-Support Vector Machine (WSVM) approach was used for the drought forecasting through employing SPI. Method: In this way, the SPI time series of Urmia Lake watershed was decomposed to multiple frequent time series by wavelet transform; then, these time series were imposed as input data to the Support Vector Machine (SVM) model to forecast the drought. Findings: The results showed that, the maximum value of R2 and minimum value of RMSE indexes for SVM model are 0.865 and 0.237 and for WSVM model are 0.954 and 0.056 respectively in verification step. Discussion and Conclusion: So, the propounded hybrid model has superior ability in forecasting SPI time series comparing with the single SVM model and also it can accurately assess the extreme data in SPI time series by considering the seasonality effects. Finally, it was concluded that, the proposed hybrid model is relatively more appropriate than classical autoregressive models such as ANN.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: One of the main aims of water resource planners and managers is the estimation and prediction of groundwater quality parameters to make managerial decisions. In this regard, many models have been developed which proposed better managements in order to maintain water quality. Most of these models require input parameters which are hardly available or their measurements are time consuming and expensive. Among them, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models inspired by human's brain are a better choice.Method: The present study stimulated the groundwater quality parameters of Dezful plain including Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), using ANN+PSO and ANN+P-PSO models and in the end is comparing their results with measured data. The input data for TDS quality parameter consist of EC, SAR, pH, SO4, Ca, Mg and Na, for SAR including the TDS, pH, Na, Hco3 and quality parameter of EC contains So4, Ca, Mg, SAR and pH, gathered from 2011 to 2015.Findings: The results indicated that the highest prediction accuracy of quality parameters of SAR, EC and TDS is related to the ANN+P-PSO model so that the MAE and RMSE statistics have the minimum and  has the maximum value for the model. The results showed that RMSE for PSO in predicting SAR, EC and TDS were 0.09, 0.045 (µs/cm) and 0.053 (mg/l) in testing period, respectively. These statistical criteria were 0.039, 0.031 (µs/cm) and 0.045 (mg/l) for P-PSO in this period, respectively.Discussion and Conclusion: The results showed that P-PSO had more accuracy compared to PSO. In addition, there were no significant differences between ANN and collecting values. So, it is recommended that ANN were applied to determine nitrate concentration in groundwater.  Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: The temporal variability of local winds of Sistan during the period of global warming is the subject of this research. In recent decades, global warming has brought about tangible changes in the temperature of the planet and has influenced other atmospheric parameters such as wind speed. Method: In the study of atmospheric parameters, estimating the effect of global warming on these parameters is important. For this purpose, variations in the Sistan wind speeds and sea level pressure in the study area under the conditions of the two scenarios A2 and B2 from the output of the global Hadcm3 model were downscaled and for three periods of 30 years up to 2099, the changes in these two parameters were generated and examined. Findings: The results showed that the average wind speed calculated by scenario B2 for the period 2010-2039, 2040-2069 and 2070-2070 respectively 0.67, 0.88 and 1.15 m / s Relative to the Basic course will increase. Also, the average wind speed variation under A2 scenario Conditions, which is a pessimistic scenario, is 1.36 and 1. 57 and 1.79 m / s for the periods 2039-2039 and 2069-2070 and 2070-2070 Also, the pressure calculated by scenario B2 for the period 2010-2039, 2040-2069, and 2070-2070 will be reduced to 0.04, 0.10, and 0.16, respectively, compared to the base period. Discussion and Conclusions:  The results showed that the decline in pressure and increase in wind speed has not been uniformly distributed throughout the year. However, during the winter and spring and summer, pressure drop is more regular than the autumn season. Manuscript profile

        At present, due to inefficient and incorrect management, most domestic aquifers in Iran, particularly in dry regions, including the Mashhad plain, face lowering levels of lakes and ponds in water storage and are sometimes subject to various pollutants. In fact, a main and significant index which shows the aquifers infections is that nitrate is found in water. In this research, an attempt has been made to prepare a mathematical model for qualitative and quantitative value of the Mashhad plain aquifer. Consequently, the aquifer’s behavior is predicted and simulated based on nitrate ion during the last twelve years. In order to develop a mathematical model for qualitative and quantitative value of Mashhad plain’s aquifer, meteorological, hydrological and hydro geological data and statistics were analyzed using Surfer Ver. 8 software, computer code Modflow 2000 and GMS processor. After calibration settings and verification, this mathematical model is achieved. Results indicate that in the year 2022 the problematic issue of nitrate infections will remain intact for most central and eastern parts of the Mashhad aquifer and its density in these regions varies from 10 to 90mg. Based on this information, in most regions nitrate density is more than the permitted amount (45mg per liter) and the annual mean drop value for this aquifer (0.90 meter) shows its critical situation. The main reason for this aquifer’s pollution during recent years is non-standard waste gathering and sewage burying methods and combination with water wells, thus its penetration through these water wells into the aquifer.   Manuscript profile

In addition, using artificial neural network model as an autoregressive model is innovation point of this research.  Monthly flow data of Dez station in Dez River in years1955 to 2001 is used in this research. Data of 42 former years and 5 recent years are used for Training and testing data set, respectively. Different structure for the static and artificial dynamic neural network models were evaluated by comparing the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the models. First, static and artificial dynamic neural network models were selected in training phase using data from October 1955 to September 1997. Then, using the selected structures, the monthly forecasted inflow of reservoir was compared with observed data from October 1997 to September 2001. Also, two types of radial and sigmoid activation function and the number of neurons in the hidden layer were investigated in this study. Results showed that the best model to forecast the reservoir inflow is autoregressive artificial neural network model associated with the sigmoid activation function and 17 neurons in the hidden layers. Artificial dynamic neural network model with sigmoid activation function can forecast reservoir inflow for 5 years better than static artificial neural networks model Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Nowadays, air pollution is one of the most important problems almost all over the world. There are many strategies to control and reduce air pollution, one of which is prediction of this event and getting ready to deal with the negative effects of it. The aim of this study is to provide a multi-layer structure of artificial neural networks (ANN) for predicting of carbon monoxide pollution at subsequent 24 hours in Tehran metropolis. Method: To predict the amount of CO emissions in near future (subsequent 24 hours), wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure characteristics are used as meteorological data, and concentration of carbon monoxide is considered as a pollution parameter. To eliminate the noise of data, wavelets transform method and determining the threshold with normal distribution are used before training the ANN. Finally, two neural networks as two general models are proposed and used for modelling. Findings: The results show that the correlation coefficient, index of agreement, accuracy of prediction, and root mean square error for model no. 1 with duplicate data are 0.9012, 0.915, 0.848, and 0.1012 and for model no. 2 with duplicate data are 0.9572, 0.978, 0.963, and 0.0385 respectively. Moreover, the results of listed parameters for model no. 1 with new data are 0.9086, 0.89, 0.885, and 0.0825 and for model No. 2 with new data are 0.8678, 0.928, 0.932, and 0.1163 respectively. Conclusion: Results showed that there is a good agreement between predicted and observed values, hence the proposed models have a high potential for air pollution prediction. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Environmental pollution modeling is one of the essential requirements in the field of air quality monitoring which with using the output of the model, improvement of future situation can be possible. The existing literature of the modeling of environmental pollution –especially air pollutants- could be divided to two whole categories. First, those researches that in addition of pollutants data, they used some factors such as temperature, wind direction, wind speed and humidity. The second one –which this study belong to- with using time series regression models and by usage of the existing data about each pollutant, the future situation was forecasted. Method: In this study, we forecast future pollutants (CO,PM10,NO2,SO2,O3,PM2.5) status with ARIMA, ARFIMA and ARIMA-GARCH models with Box-Jenkins approach, then the best model is determined with MSE, RMSE, MAE and MAPE. Findings: Results indicate that the assumption of existence of long-memory is acceptable but the hypothesis that always ARFIMA models prepare the best forecast is rejected. Discussion and Conclusion: This study proves the application of econometric models to predict the pollutants state. Based on the high social costs of pollutant emissions, it is recommended that using these models, identify the pollutants affecting the future of the city and reduce the level of their dissemination of efficiency plans.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Minab Esteghlal dam, with a capacity of 350 million m2 and an efficient capacity of 270 million m2, is a stable-weight-concrete dam which is constructed on Minab river at the distance of 4 km from the east of Minab township with a geographic longitude of 57° and 4′ and a geographic latitude of 27° and 9′. This dam was established in 1993 to supply the drinking water for Bandar Abbas and to provide water for 14670 hectares of downstram lands in Minab and for industry, flood control and artificial nutrition purposes. Method: This study is carried out to analyze the environmental impacts caused by operation of the dam. After collecting the basic data and field survey of the site and the dam reservoir, a list of environmental resources being affected was prepared. The study area was also determined in the from of individual environment under the direct and indirect impacts. Then, the required maps for the site, stations, ground cover, etc, were provided in the GIS environment. Water sampling was accomplished in warm and dry and warm and humid seasons, and water samples were carefully examined. In order to predict the dam impacts, a special method of assessment called ICOLD was conducted. After determining all the impacts, since this method is a qualitative method, a modified method was used to mark and interprete the impacts. Results: The results of this study showed that Esteghlal dam had a positive impact on biologic and socio-economic environments and had the scores of +207.5 and +329.25, and had a negative impact of -242 on physico–chemical environment. At the end, some recommendations to eliminate the negative impacts caused by operation of the dam, including decrease of deposit input to the river via constructing som dams at the upperhills before Esteghlal dam, and propagation of biological methods instead of applying fertilizer to defeat the agricultural pests were suggested. The proper environmental management of Minab watershed is bound to careful implementation of these suggestions. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: One of the major problems in the fabric of most cities in the world, is the crisis in theidentity of urban and architecture. The physical display of the identify crisis in the cities is the spatialseparation of the architectural and urban elements, in the particular and whole scales. As to the claimof this paper, an ignorance of the connective and in-between spaces is an important and impressivefactor in the physical identity crisis of the historical fabrics.Material and method: To obtain the mentioned objectives and to prove the hypothesis of theresearch, a phenomenological approach and historical analysis method are used to analyze the contentof the texts.Result & Discussion: The obtained results suggest that the in-between space due to its constructiveobjectives takes on an equivocal nature. It becomes both the process and the product. Thus, itcontributes to the formation process in order that a unified whole should emerge; it also helpssimultaneously the concepts be classified and take orientation. Therefore, in a rotational movement thein-between space influences the spatial organization through its impact on the basics and principles.On the other hand, through its spatial features such as space relations, the spatial organization isinfluential in the development and evolution of the in-between spaces. The result emphasizes on thecomprehensibility of the in-between spaces in the various urban and architectural scales, andconsequently it puts emphasis on the significance of the in-between spaces as the major factors in thespatial organization.

        Profit management has been one of the most controversial topics in recent research. Most research on earnings management has examined the linear relationship between independent variables and earnings management using statistical methods but they did not use these variables to predict earnings management. Today, with the growth of information technology and the introduction of artificial intelligence, including artificial neural networks into the field of scientific research, it has become possible to study nonlinear relationships between variables. In this study, an attempt was made to estimate optional accruals for predicting earnings management using artificial neural networks. Also in this research, the genetic algorithm optimizer model and Particle swarm has been used to optimize the weights of the artificial neural network model to enhance the predictive power. Then, the ability to predict profit management was evaluated using the modified Jones statistical model, artificial neural network and the combined technique of genetic algorithm, Particle swarm and neural network. The sample used in this study included 150 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2015 and 2020. Findings showed that the artificial neural network has a high ability to predict profit management, compared to the modified Jones linear model. The findings also indicate that the accuracy and ability of the combined model of genetic algorithm, particle swarm and neural network in predicting profit management is higher than the combined model of genetic algorithm-artificial neural network.

        Iran insurance industry has recently faced with various problems regarding fluctuations in profitability, portfolio composition, the rate of loss, the rate of penetration, retention and satisfaction of insurers and market share, due to presence of numerous insurance companies in the competitive market. As a result, insurer maintenance has become a major goal for most of the insurance companies. Since in the insurance industry, like many other industries, the cost of searching for new insurers is far more expensive than retaining the current insurers, it is essential to identify the factors that drive insurers to churn. The purpose of this study is to investigate the literature and research background in the field of customer churn, which ultimately leads to identifying and classifying “influential factors in predicting customer churn in the insurance industry”. A systematic literature review method is used to collect and review previous studies by integrating automated and manual search strategies of all the related research articles in this field, published for the period 1389 to 1398 for Persian articles and 2010 to 2018 for English articles. The research findings identified 85 factors that affect customer churn, specifically in the insurance industry. They are classified into four categories; the factors related to the insurer, the factors related to the insuree, product/service related factors and factors regarding the relationship between the insurer and the insuree.

        In this paper, a new nonparametric method is applied using the adaptive group LASSO for selecting features and studying which of the features provide incremental information for predicting the cross-sectional expected return. Out of many features mentioned in previous studies, the effect of 36 characteristics on the expected returns of stock portfolios in Tehran Stock Exchange (1396-1387) was investigated.The result of this study shows that only three to five features provide incremental information to predict the expected return on stock portfolios. Therefore, only the return characteristics of 2 to 1 month before the forecast, total fluctuations, beta, maximum daily returns, and the ratio of price to the highest price have the power to predict the expected return on stock portfolios. The rest of the studied features do not have the power to predict expected returns. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, the analysis of various aspects of qualitative information on financial reports is one of the important tools for decision making by investors and other capital market users. The purpose of this study, was to investigate The effect of the earnings forecast report tone on investor response and performance prediction. To investigate this issue, the present study uses 140 years- company listed companies at Tehran Stock Exchange between 2011 and 2017. In order to test the hypotheses of the research, multiple regression and logistic regression were used. The research findings suggest that earnings forecast report tone is not a suitable tool for investors and other users to predict future earnings and future cash flows (future performance). Also, no significant relationship was found between the earnings forecast report tone with some of the incremental (decreasing) criteria of managers' understanding to manage the report tone, such as renewing the presentation of profits and realizing the near real. In other words, the earnings forecast report tone does not have any effect on the perception and awareness of the investors. Manuscript profile

        Improving the economic and business environment is the most important factor in preventing bankruptcy, therefor, Artificial intelligence uses to predict the bankruptcy of companies in the future. In this study, companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange over a period of 10 years in terms of bankruptcy localized model of Kurdistani-Tatli based on the Altman model were examined and companies were identified as bankrupt and healthy. Research data were collected, categorized and refined using secondary data extracted from financial statements and through the database of the Exchange Organization and the Central Bank.The models used to evaluate the data and predict the bankruptcy of companies are artificial intelligence models . Artificial neural network, combination of neural network and genetic algorithm and the K-nearest neighbor method has been used. They were also compared in terms of prediction accuracy. The output of the models indicates that the addition of corporate governance indicators to the financial ratios indicators has not improved the results. Therefore, financial ratios alone are sufficient for predicting and determining bankruptcy. The proposed model of this research based on accuracy is a combined model of neural network and genetic algorithm that has the highest accuracy. Genetic algorithm improves the optimal results of the neural network and provides a more optimal answer. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, we evaluate the behavior of return, liquidity, and information efficiency in cryptocurrencis market. Cryptocurrencis are a kind of virtual currencies which cryptography technology is a basic element in their designing. They are often managed in an undistributed manner. The sample consists of 13 cryptocurrencies which were traded during 3 years (11/1/2015 until 11/1/2018) consistently. We apply Dickey-Fuller test, Ljung-Box autocorrelation parametric test, Fama-French autocorrelation test, Run and Hurst non-parametric tests to explore momentum and long-run memory in cryptocurrencis market. Findings show that cryptocurrencis return has an unpredictable behavior in markets which are more liquid. Indeed, liquidity has a direct relationship with information efficiency in cryptocurrencis market. Totally, the more liquid cryptocurrencis markets are, the less return predictability will be happened and cryptocurrencis return time series will move to a random walk. Therefore, the efficient market hypothesis will be improved. Manuscript profile

The statistical population of the study is all companies of the mass real estate industry in the Tehran Stock Exchange from 1390 to 1398. Data were analyzed in Eviews10 and MATLAB software. Predicting stock price behavior and the whole industry index by autoregressive methods and moving average in terms of random processes showed that the explained pattern can not be used to predict stock price behavior but in some random steps, the forecasting error was negligible. Regarding the forecast of stock price behavior, the last three steps of the process, winter have a significant effect on stock price forecast; But the first step has a significant effect on predicting the behavior of the industry index. In the first steps, the error of predicting the behavior of the industry index is very small and the explained model can be used to predict the behavior of the index in the first months of the year.

        Tensions between the rights of individuals and organizations have been fundamental problems in societies.Financial markets and powerful corporations are growing dramatically around the world.In the face of this growth, there must be targeted legal and regulatory tools for corporate accountability.Corporate governance is designed in the same framework.Corporate governance system is a reaction to the issue of representation and to the separation of ownership from management or, more commonly, the separation of ownership from control of companies, and is itself the result of two main causes;First, each participant has different goals and preferences.Second, each does not have complete information about the other's actions, knowledge, and preferences.Obviously, this separation, assuming effective executive mechanisms of corporate governance, creates the potential for managers to make decisions that are in line with their own interests and the opposite of the interests of shareholders.Gradually, as the authority to exercise direct sovereignty over the owners diminishes, control is transferred to other groups, such as boards and directors.It can be said that any change in the implementation of the governance structure has a great impact on the change of leadership and their performance.The relationship between corporate governance and corporate performance is an important issue in financial matters. Corporate governance aims to strengthen the atmosphere of transparency, honesty and accountability in the management of the organization. Evaluating the performance of corporate governance and examining its mechanisms is very important and has a great impact on economic decisions of companies. Manuscript profile

        Due to the importance of predicting economic variables, different models have been created to predict the future values of variables. In fact, economic models can be tested by checking the level of forecasting accuracy. The main purpose of this study is prediction of Iran interbank offered rate and Iran treasury exchange rate as interest rates indicators for facilitating interest rate risk management. Two econometric models including ARFIMA and ARIMA have been used for forecasting. Thus, the ARFIMA model considering long-term memory and the ARIMA model without considering long-term memory have been considered. The evaluation of the prediction accuracy of the two models using the monthly Iran interbank offered rates data and also the monthly Iran treasury exchange rates data shows that both the interbank offered rates data and the Islamic treasury bond rates data, ARIMA model has a better performance compared to ARFIMA model in predicting data.

        با توجه به اهمیتی که سرمایه‌گذاران برای بازده سهام خود قائل هستند، پدیده سقوط سهام منجر به کاهش شدید بازده می‌شود. بسیاری از پژوهشگران معتقدند تغییرات قیمت سهام شرکت از مدیریت اطلاعات داخلی آن نشأت می‌گیرد. از آنجایی که قیمت سهام، نه تنها از طریق اطلاعات مالی بلکه از طریق اطلاعات اجتماعی، حاکمیتی، اقتصادی و زیست محیطی نیز دستخوش تغییر می شود، از این رو انتشار یک گزارش خاص نظیر بعد حاکمیتی گزارشگری عملکرد پایدار می‌تواند بر نقدشوندگی سهام و ریسک سقوط قیمت سهام اثر گذار باشد. پژوهش حاضر با استفاده از رویکرد مدل-سازی معادلات ساختاری به دنبال پیش‌بینی معیارهای ریسک سقوط قیمت سهام و نقدشوندگی آن از طریق گزارشگری پایداری حاکمیتی و معیارهای دقت پیش‌بینی و قابلیت مقایسه سود (معیارهای داخلی) است. بدین منظور و با استفاده از روش حذف سیستماتیک، 147 شرکت پذیرفته شده در بورس اوراق بهادار تهران برای بازه زمانی 1391 تا 1400 به عنوان نمونه انتخاب شدند. جهت تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از نرم افزار PLS استفاده گردید. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که مولفه حاکمیتی گزارشگری عملکرد پایدار منجر به افزایش قابلیت مقایسه سود، افزایش نقدشوندگی سهام و کاهش ریسک سقوط آتی قیمت سهام می‌گردد. دیگر یافته‌ها نشان داد که قابلیت مقایسه سود بر رابطه میان گزارشگری عملکرد پایدار حاکمیتی با ریسک سقوط آتی قیمت و نقدشوندگی سهام نقش واسطه‌ای دارد. این در حالی است که دقت پیش بینی سود بر ریسک سقوط آتی قیمت سهام و نقدشوندگی سهام تاثیر معناداری ندارد.

        The purpose of this study was to design a new model for predicting the Tehran Stock Exchange index using pattern recognition in a combination of hidden Markov model and artificial intelligence. The present study is an applied type and mathematical analytical method. Its location is the Tehran Stock Exchange and during the years 2010 to 2020. Findings showed that the prediction error rate with artificial neural network has a higher accuracy than Markov's hidden model. Also, the prediction error of the hybrid model is much lower than the other two models for predicting the total stock index of Tehran Stock Exchange, so it has higher accuracy for forecasting stocks. According to the MAPE index, the hybrid model method could improve the predictive power of the artificial neural network by 0.044% and also improve the predictive power of the hidden Markov model by 0.70%.

        The present research is aimed at prediction of network linkages of banking system distress based on operational risks and behavioral finance approach. Methodology of the present research is of survey descriptive, practical from the purpose standpoint. Notably, in order to reach this purpose, firstly, based on study and review of theoretical basics, research variables were introduced. Then, by making use of Krejcie and Morgan Table, 384 participants were selected, and upon distribution of questionnaire among the aforesaid, research data were collected. Furthermore, in order for analysis of data and estimation of research empirical models, the researcher used structural equation modeling (SEM) and Smart PLS software. Of note, findings of this research indicate that behavioral financial standpoints and operational risk have significant effects on prediction of banking network disorder. Furthermore, based on estimated beta coefficients, among behavioral financial elements, economic behavior, cognitive standpoint, judgment biases, heuristic behaviors, decision making biases and value and return of stocks have respectively the highest effect on banking disorder, and among operational risk elements, human resources risk, systemic risk, transaction risk, technology risk and fraudulent and deception risk have respectively the highest effect on banking disorder.

        Determination and prediction of housing price in urban areas plays a significant role for governments, public and private enterprises, and financial evaluators. An accurate estimation of the housing price can be employed for future planning and decision making in many urban and regional policies. However, the growth of the housing sector has a profound impact on gross national product, resulting in a significant increase in employment. On the other hand, an increase in loan for purchasing house leads to a rise in liquidity and inflation rate. This means that the gap between the income and housing price is increased. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new models for making decisions in order to prevent the increase in the inflation rate and housing price. According to the key importance of housing price, a number of models have been developed to formulate the price behavior with regard to its effective components. In this study, a novel model based on the ARIMA method for forecasting and formulating the housing price has been developed. The results show that the model proposed has a high potential (with a determination coefficient of 99.7%) to foresee the housing prices in the city of Tehran. Manuscript profile

        This study has tested momentum and reverse investment strategies in a behavioral finance framework, based on various optimistic, pessimistic and normal market sentiments. At the first step, sentiment Index by means of ARMS Adjusted Trading Index was measured. Then, making use of portfolio analysis, we formed portfolios for 1 month and 3 month periods based on momentum and reverse strategies. Portfolios classification was done based on volatility factor in various behavioral periods. Then returns of different portfolios and strategies was tested by a probit model in different market sentiments (i.e. optimism, pessimism and normal) Finding of the study reveal that in a normal market sentiment, most of behavioral finance strategies has been successful in terms of return. Moreover, reverse strategies have shown higher efficiency in a normal market state, compared to a momentum strategies. It was surprising when we found that both in a pessimistic and optimistic period, not only any excess return was experienced, but also mostly lead to loss. In short term, momentum portfolios produced higher return than reverse ones. Unit root test proved stationary of the sentiment. Since the market was found to be non-stochastic, we conclude stock market inefficiency. We found in a VAR model framework that optimism is a one-way Granger Couse of stock return, furthermore stock return is a one-way Granger Couse of pessimism. Manuscript profile

        This research investigates cross section individual stock return predictability by style return in Tehran Stock Exchange. Test of stock return predictability is performed based on Fama and Mac-Beth regression model using data from 1380 to 1389. Also for profound analysis, the relation between co-movement of stock return with its style return and momentum is examined. So, Portfolio analysis approach based on dual sorting is used for the latter test. The outcomes of this research confirm future cross-section stock return predictability by style-based return over twelve month formation period. The results indicate that co-movement of stock return with its style return generates variation in momentum profit. This finding is restricted to twelve month formation period and one month future return horizon and is not observed over longer horizon future return. Manuscript profile

        The Dunning-Kruger effect is a kind of cognitive bias in unprofessional people who suffer from the illusion of superiority and incorrectly evaluate their ability to be overly real. This bias is attributed to the metacognitive inability of unprofessional individuals to identify their disability and is a blood stream in the human body. Financial managers also suffer from this cognitive error in their own assessment of others, as financial managers with a level of ability and experience usually evaluate themselves more often than they are. For example, those who have the capability of an accounting expert have their own accounting officer and those who have the ability to become accounting officer, they identify themselves as financial advisors and those who are capable of a financial manager, as financial advisers, and usually themselves more than what they are. Or vice versa, they are less than what they are, which is due to self-esteem or self-righteousness, or to Duning Kruger's. In this research, we examine the characteristics and general criteria of financial managers and identify the skills of financial managers, and the results show that the skills of financial managers are usually more than what they have in them.   Manuscript profile

        During the recent years extensive researches have been done on fuzzy time series. In many of these studies, universe of discourse and relevant intervals have been determined based on levels of price or data; in this study a new type of universe of discourse is established based on rate of return concept in financial markets.  Another point that has a significant effect on the performance of fuzzy time series models is the length of intervals, therefore doing research in this area became an interesting topic for time series researchers, there are some studies on this issue but their results are not good enough. So we propose a novel simulated annealing heuristic algorithm that is used to promote the accuracy of forecasting. The experimental results show that proposed model (RBFTS) is more accurate than existing models on forecasting Alabama university enrollments data. At the final step, Tehran’s bourse price index (TEPIX) is used as a case study for forecasting. The obtained results indicate a good forecasting performance on this test problem. Manuscript profile

        Today managers to attract investors try to show revenue and income in maximum level as one of the criteria for their performance. They may be smooth the reported incomes by selecting specific accounting policies, accounting estimates and accruals management. Therefore, reported earnings may be differing from result of actual performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of management optimism and earnings smoothing between banks listed in Tehran stock exchange and OTC during 2010 to 2014. Adjusted community consists of 65 year-banks. To answer the research question two hypotheses through ordinary least square regression and binary logistic in form of multivariate liner by using Pooled data were tested. The results show that the optimism managers in compare with others, more likely to report earnings smoothed by accruals and IKLE smoothing index. The results also indicate that, larger and older banks are more likely to report earnings smoothed by accruals and IKLE smoothing index. The findings indicate that, the banks that have a high market to book value, less likely to smooth earnings by IKLE model. Manuscript profile

        Being informed of capital market’s companies financial situation is one of the shareholders and economic analysts’ perturbation. Thus, financial market analysts and researchers were looking for methods to predict capital market’s company’s future conditions. This research is finding a model to predict bankruptcy of stock exchanges market’s companies with using the artificial neural network. In this research we used Zemijewski financial ratios with one macro – economic variable to predict companies’ bankruptcy. Population of study was selected from the accepted companies in Iran’s stock and exchanges organization. Financial ratios have been extracted from companies’ financial statement in a five years’ period between 2010 and 2014, finally we choose 84 companies that divided to salubrious and bankrupt equal number in each. We used multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with back propagation algorithm to create predictor model and data analysis. The network has been trained once with financial ratios and again with additional macro – economic variable to confirm that the accuracy of network model will increase by additional macro – economic variable. Ultimately the designed model in total mode has 92.95 percent of accuracy and 85 percent correct prediction of bankrupted companies for one year earlier of bankruptcy.   Manuscript profile

        Financial Astrology as a tool in field of Technical Analysis is used in stock market analysis for many years. Although it's an old science and a known way for market analysts but in Iran it's unknown for traders and academic researchers. A doubt in point of view is necessary for investigators to test the claims but mysterious tools and unknown references would make it slow in science development and use it by market technicians. In this research some references in financial astrology including books, articles and related soft ware would be introduced to know the position of this field in financial markets. Results of this research show the usage of Financial Astrology in Capital Market Analysis and would help us to have a better realization of trading cycles and finally can help in portfolio stock selection.

        Today's review of the articles shows that the agency cost has been one of the most important fields of studying in accounting.Therefore, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of agency costs on predicting profitability in Tehran Stock Exchange. In this research, the benchmark for agency cost includes earninig management, capital structure, corporate governance mechanism and asset turnover ratio.Regression analysis is used to examine hypotheses of the study. The data set includes 105 companies accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange for the period of2010 to 2016. The results of the hypothesis of this research show that among the criteria for measuring the agency cost, there is a positive and meaningful relationship between institutional ownership and asset turnover ratio with predicting profitability.These findings also showed that there is no significant relationship between capital structure and predicting profitability. Additionally, the relationship between earnings management and predicting profitabilityis meaningfulandnegative.The main reason for this negativerelationship can be the moral hazard resulting from the information asymmetry of earnings management.     Manuscript profile

        Forecasting financial markets is an important issue in finance area and research studies. Importance of forecasting on one hand and its complexity, on the other hand, researchers have done much work in this area and proposed many methods. In this research, we propose a hybrid model include wavelet transform, ARMA-EGARCH and NN for day-ahead forecasting of stock market price in different markets. At first WT is used to decompose and reconstruct time series into detailed and approximated parts. And then we used ARMA-EGARCH and NN models respectively for forecasting details and approximate series. In this model we used technical index by approximate part to the improvement of our NN model. Finally, we combine prediction of each model together. For validation, proposed model compare with ANN, ARIMA-GARCH and ARIMA-ANN models for forecasting stocks price in UA and Iran markets. Our results indicate that proposed model has better performance than others model in both markets.       Manuscript profile

        Human population continues to aggregate in urban centers, who inevitably increases the urban footprint with significant consequences for biodiversity, climate, and environmental resources. Urban growth prediction models have been extensively studied with the overarching goal to assist in sustainable management of urban centers. Despite the extensive research, these models are not frequently included in the decision making process. The survey found a strong recognition of the models’ potential in decision making, but limited agreement which these models actually reach enough potential in practice. This review aims are an overview of existing models, including advantages and limitations. Also, in general, it will be discussed to main reason for not applying these models in the decision making. Analysis of aggregated statistics indicates that cellular automata are the prevailing modeling technique, present in the majority of published works. Also, being unfamiliar decision-makers with models and thelack of popularity models to research are significant reasons for not using these models in the decision making. Manuscript profile

        Fire in the forests of Iran has destructed a large part of these valuable ecosystems in the recent years. Regarding to that Iran is one of the low-forest cover countries in the world, investigation of fire consequences in the forests of Iran and recognition of opposition methods to fire in these forests is essential to present a solution to decrease these fires. Fire in the forests of Iran has had an important effect in destruction of unique flora and fauna, decrease of biodiversity and decrease of qualitative value of industrial plant species in addition to the economic damages and environmental pollutions. Furthermore, the recent fires in the forests of Iran have also increased the greenhouse gas emissions which it has an important role in the warming of these ecosystems and increasing of subsequent fires occurrence in these forests. This pre-background along with human-caused intentional and non-intentional fires in these ecosystems, has increased the continuous fires occurrence in the forests of Iran. Thus, development and designing of the effective opposition methods to these fires as preventing and operating methods is essential. Many different methods of fire occurrence and spread modeling have been developed using RS and GIS technologies which it seems that these methods have the effective role in predicting and preventing of these forests.

        Sixteen stations on Zarrinehroud River were sampled and parameters like temperature, alkalinity, Ph, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen and major anions and cations were measured on water samples. Afterwards, Pearson correlation coefficient between EC and other parameters were determined and the ones with lower cost of measurement were considered as the inputs of neural network models. Finally, the model number 5 with tangent Simulating algorithm and Levenberg-Marquet training Algorithm with minimum prediction error was accepted. The maximum determination coefficient, RMSE and NRMSE Were estimated to be 0.98, 168.33 and 0.28 respectively. Furthermore, it is observed that pH has a remarkable sensitivity more over 60 percent on the artificial neural network prediction. Manuscript profile

        In an attempt to examine the quality of ground water in Tehran with respect to the consumption pattern in the last ten years for 71 examination point, three distinct neural networks of different Electrical Conductivity (EC),   input and output parameters were set out . It is observed that, in order to forecast with a great deal of trial and error, the tangent algorithms with the momentum-training algorithm turns out to be less error. As the number of the input parameters is reduced and the training algorithm is fixed with momentum and the stimulating algorithm gives way to the tangent algorithm, error falls off.  Finally, three model with one hidden layer, the momentum training algorithms and the stimulating tangent was constructed. The  maximum error occurring implies the maximum determination coefficient of 0.986 that its connected to models 1 and 3. Moreover, in line with the neural network laid out in one layer, the minimum normal root mean square error (NRMSE) is supposed to run out at 0.110 in models 1 and 3. According to lesser input parameter of model number 2 and very close approximation to this two models (1and 3) with maximum determination coefficient of 0.96 and the minimum normal root mean square error (NRMSE) 0.176 can be a very close approximation and can decrease inputs parameters and experience for Measurement of input parameters and the estimate is supposed to be excellently acceptable. As regards the effect of the parameters on the forecast made, the neural network involves the predominance of the two sulphate and chloride ions over the sodium parameter. Manuscript profile

        Dust is one of the phenomena of destructive climate in the western provinces that causes great damage to the environment and many factors are involved in creating this problem. The aim of this study is to predict the phenomenon of dust in Ahvaz city. In this study, Ahvaz synoptic data during the years (2000-2010) have been used. These data include mean dew point (in degrees Celsius), mean wind speed in knots, relative humidity in terms of average percentage and average monthly rainfall as input, and data on dusty days as target. Networks were introduced. Then, using causal modeling, the relationships between the variables are extracted and finally, the model is tested by neural network and stepwise regression model. The results confirm the ability of more than 74% of the model used to predict the dust phenomenon in Ahvaz. The regression rate of dust data in a linear combination with the variables entered in the equation is equal to 0.651. Also, the resulting coefficient of determination is equal to 0.424 and the modified coefficient of determination is equal to 0.410; That is, in fact, about 41% of the variance of the dust variable is explained and justified through independent variables.   Manuscript profile

All humans are a part of nature not outside of it or upon it. (sakoee,2002,22).findings of the research show that the unreligious anthropologist and worldview and attitude and view based on humanism view and greed and avidity is causing many of environmental disasters and calamities. So, emendation or reformation of attitudes, believes and human view a bout human and environment within or in long with Islam systematic view could remove many of environmental and political issues and insecurities.This research while is studying the cultural and thought backgrounds causing environmental destruction under modernity and also with explanation of religious and cultural worldviews and their impacts on global ecology and environment, is looking for explanation and codification of Islamic environmental pattern to protect and preserve the balance of global and regional environment. the study is a basic and fundamental research and is used the Islamic realism and constructionist mean ology to do this research.

        The growing trend of forest fires necessitates presentation of a solution to predict and control them. Fire occurrence modeling with attention to all effective factors, is a proper solution to predict the fire occurrence in the forests because many factors affect on forest fire occurrence. This study has been done to investigate the different methods of fire modeling and fire risk assessment in forests of the world and Iran. Investigation of the researches implemented in Iran shows that the studies about fire risk potential evaluation in Iran have been limited and AHP has been used to weigh the effective factors in forest fire in most of these studies. Conclusion of researches implemented in the world shows that vegetation type, slope, aspect, distance from roads, topography and land use, have been the most effective factors in modeling of fire occurrence and integration of digital layers has often been based on a hierarchy and a risk coefficient in fire occurrence. The past actual fires map has been compared with the fire risk map to assess the accuracy of models used in provision of fire risk potential map. Logistic regression and decision-making tree algorithm have been used to select the effective variables in fire and to model the fire risk in some new studies. Integration of fuzzy inference system and neural network, neural intelligence and support vector machine has been used to predict the future fires in some advanced methods. Multi-criteria analysis is a subject used in the new studies and organization of the criteria in a spatial model using GIS has had the good results.  Manuscript profile

        Myth and Epic as a genre in popular culture appeared prior to literature and have been closely tied to the nation’s literature. Despite many differences between men and cultures, their myths and epics are of great similarities. World literature is full of epic and mythic components. In Iranian and German literature also this issue is easily perceivable in Shahnameh and in Nibelungenlied’s song. In terms of cultural and linguistic aspects both are subsets of Hindu-Zhrmny languages add one could see a lot of similar components in them. This paper concerns firstly with the basic concepts and historical context of both them and then with the analysis of the worldviews and differences and features of these two everlasting works in Iranian and German literatures extensively.

The present paper attempts to study some common thoughts of Abu al-ʿAlaʾ al-Maʿarri and Arthur Schopenhauer. Both had a kind of extreme realism toward life which usually known as pessimism. Both philosophers find life suffering and null but weren’t passive at all but tried to leave eternal works to calm down the ones who are thirsty to knowledge in different eras.

Abul Ala Moari, an Arab poet, thinker, and Khayyam Neyshabouri, an Iranian poet, philosopher, and scientist, were among the characters who thought a lot about death. According to them, there are different perceptions of death. Positive and negative perceptions that are rooted in the philosophy of creation and the meaning of life, and without achieving the philosophy of life, it cannot have a correct perception of death. As a result, there is a deep connection between the meaning of life and death. With God's help, in this article, while presenting a biography of the two poets' life, we intend to study and analyze the thoughts, ideas, and aspects of similarities and differences between them, and to examine the views of these two people on the category of mortality and death.

        The way of thinking plays an important role in human life and function. Human beings are distinguished from each other according to the kind of attitude they have towards God, the world and themselves and are divided into two groups: optimistic and pessimistic. Optimists do not take the events of the universe for granted. Because they know that every moment of the world has method and rule and without the will of God Almighty, not a leaf falls from a tree, and human beings should hope for God's mercy and forgiveness and plan and act happily. In the present study, the question is what are the psychological functions of positive thinking from the perspective of Holy Quran? psychological functions for positive thinking were concluded by studying the meanings of eleven Verse, which include strengthening theism, increasing physical and mental health, foresight and hope, managing emotions, effective communicating, increasing flexibility, increasing forgiveness, greater success, living happily, nobility and meaning of life and family support.

In this article, using the verses of the Holy Quran and the opinions and views of the interpreters and different schools of psychology, we try to identify the nature and symptoms of anxiety and to review its management. Psychologists have practiced the anxiety management regarding the different schools of psychology such as psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and cognitive perspectives and deliver practical solutions such as free association, interpretation, transference, resistance, and removing regularly sensitivity and treatment of stable role. The Holy Quran has expressed this issue through symmetries such as: earthquake, tremble, awe, fear, fright, scare and ... and for relaxation and anxiety management has noted feeling and behavioral strategies such as: faith, remembrance of God and intimacy with the beloved one, the appeal of the unseen infinite power, trust, non-attachment to the world and .... .

        Positive psychology is one of the new branches of psychology. This science has three fundamental principles: 1) the study of positive emotions, 2) the study of positive traits, and 3) the study of positive institutions. Martin Seligman, the founder of this theory, believes that a purposeful and meaningful life relies on six positive characteristics of wisdom, courage, altruism, justice, moderation, sublimity, and positive emotions and in three paths of satisfaction, pride, and peace of the past, long-lasting happiness, enthusiasm, and enjoyment from the present, and optimism, hope, and trust in the future. This study examined the poems of Malek osh-Sho'arā Bahār in descriptive, documentary, analytical, and quantitative evaluation manners and in regards to the element of optimism and hope from the positive psychological perspective. By extracting and examining the evidences from one hundred poems of Divan-e Bahār, we discovered that 83 of them have positive themes, half of which are devoted to optimism and hope with a higher frequency than despair and disappointment. Meantime, the poet has referred to the subject of complaint and sorrow in only seven poems. Despite all personal and social agonies and pains, Bahār is a positive thinking, self-flourishing, and optimistic poet. He is another example of the great men in Persian culture and literature. He has written and composed poetry to improve the environment and create a better and happier society. His craft and mission many years ago are an instance of new science that claims to provide new strategies for the better living of human beings. Manuscript profile

        Death as an absolute necessity, bound to happen, is unique and belongs to human beings. Whatever we know of death is assured, or at least seems to be the most absolute knowledge of us as human beings. It is an inescapable reality that all creatures will experience it later or sooner. The humankind worldview of death is based on his attitudes towards life. Some people believe that it is attractive and fascinating, while others find it horrible and disgusting. It is clear that the way people try to believe in death has roots in their lifestyles and attitudes towards life. Hossein Monzavi, aka “The King of Ghazal”, the famous poet of 1960s and 1970s, could revive ghazal and made it enthralling and romantic. Some of Monzavi’s ghazals are about death, and he attempts to reveal his attitudes towards the concept of death as a bound to happen. He sometimes believes in death doubtlessly, and sometimes fights it. Despite some contradictions in some of his ghazals about death, he doesn’t believe in death as something absurd and conjectural. This paper aims, through an analytical- descriptive method and by investigating Monzavi’s ghazals, to study his worldview and understanding of death. Manuscript profile

        204 - Optimism & Pessimism Biases in Earnings Forecasting and Deviation in Financial Reporting: Evidence of Subjectivism and Opportunistic Unethical Behavior of Managers

        Under a challenging business environment, assessing the managerial decisions about earnings forecasting and earnings reporting is important and the evidence indicates the occurrence of managers’ subjectivism in these areas. In this regard, analyzing the managers' behavior about earnings forecasting and earnings reporting can be explained through the signaling approach and opportunistic approach. This study assessed the relationship between optimism & pessimism biases in management earnings forecast and financial reporting distortion by focusing on managing the reported earnings to determine which of these approaches prevails in the surveyed firms. Management earnings forecast biases are measured using the pattern proposed by Cheng & Firth, (2000); also, the model presented by Dechow et al (1995) is used to assess the management incentives to manage earnings using discretionary accounting procedures & estimates.Research samples include 198 firms listed in Tehran Securities & Exchange over the period 2012-2018. Using multivariate regression models based on panel data, evidence indicated that there is a meaningful and positive relationship between management earnings forecast bias and financial reporting distortion using the earnings management based on discretionary accruals. This result indicates an interest conflict and occurrence of unethical opportunistic behavior due to the high subjectivism of managers. Also, the type of optimistic and pessimistic bias in management earnings forecast is meaningfully related to accruals-based earnings management; so, the motivation of managers to manage earnings in an optimistic situation is more than pessimistic. In addition, results of the test for equality of means between series showed that there is a meaningful difference between the means of earnings management based on discretionary accruals in optimistic and pessimistic earnings forecast situations.

        The purpose of the present study is to review the impact of managers’ narcissism on their trade strategies and innovative acts with an emphasis on their optimism. The research population includes all accepted corporations in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years from 2015 to 2019. Using a systematic removal method, 101 corporations were chosen as the statistical sample and data analysis was conducted by EViews and Minitab software. For hypothesis testing, multivariate linear regression was used. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between managers’ narcissism and their aggressive and defensive strategies while the variable of their optimism has no significant effect on the relationship between their narcissism and aggressive strategies. Furthermore, there is a significant correlation between managers’ narcissism and components of innovative acts including personal innovation, environmental innovation, administrative innovation, and technical innovation and managers’ optimism is effective on the correlation between this variable and all components of innovative acts, except technical innovation. The results of this study can lead to an effect on decision-making and identify the impact of psychological components such as narcissism on people’s performance. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: Investors’ short-sightedness is a factor that makes them overestimate short-term and underestimate long-term interests. This behavior of investors motivates the directors to overestimate short-term performance of the company by decreasing its research and development costs. On the other hand, the auditing committee as a powerful mechanism of corporation authority makes a contribution to supervise responsibility of the board of directors through surveillance of the financial reporting process, autonomy of auditors, and effectiveness of internal controls. In this regard, the present research aims to review the effect of auditing committee on the relationship between investors’ short-sightedness and research and development costs in corporations accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange,Method: The information of 150 companies were collected and analyzed by systematic deletion method during a 7-year-old period from 2007 to 2013. Hypotheses testing was conducted using multivariate regression and ordinary least square method with mixed data.Results: Investors’ short-sightedness has a significantly negative impact on research and development costs. It means that as investors’ short-sightedness increases, research and development costs decline. The results also showed that the size of the corporation's auditing committee has a significantly decreasing impact on the negative relation between investors' short-sightedness and research and development costs and makes the correlation between those two variables positive. The autonomy of the corporation's auditing committee has a moderating effect on the negative correlation between investors' short-sightedness and research and development costs and decreases its intensity. It means that the decrease in the size and autonomy of the auditing committee decreases the negative relation between investors' short-sightedness and research and development costs.Conclusion: Considering the negative effect of investors' short-sightedness on research and development costs that encourages the directors to decrease long-term investment in future research and development, it is suggested to the managers to regard long-term consequences of decreasing investment in this field because they will decline the corporation's performance and competitive strength in long-term. Furthermore, it is recommended to short-sighted investors who have short-term perspective to pay more attention to the real and long-term performance of the company rather than its short-term interests because investors' short-sightedness causes that fundamental factor and long-term perspective in terms of investment in stock exchange be forgotten and replaced with obtaining just daily profit. Therefore, investors' short-sightedness has caused one of the greatest problems in the stock exchange and in the long term leads to its inefficiency.  Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the present study is to review an estimation of customer lifetime value (CLV) based on quality of services provided by Mashhad body building gyms. The research method was correlational description and it had an estimation approach. The Research statistical population consisted of those who enrolled in body building gyms in Mashhad for at least 6 months, among whom 384 members were studied in different gyms ranked from 1 to 3 with respect to their cooperation and accessibility. The research instruments consisted of 2 standard questionnaires including Services Quality by Parmason et al. (1985) and Customer Lifetime Value by Vow Vali (2011) which were distributed among the customers in the gyms through a stratified way.  SPSS and LIZREL software programs were used for data analysis. The results showed that by 95% confidence level it can be said that quality of services provided by the gyms can have a significantly positive effect on CLV while no significant correlation was observed between CLV and ranking of the gyms. On the other hand, quality of services and ranking of the gyms have a significant impact on CLV. Therefore, it is recommended to the directors of the gyms to pay more attention to the components which enhance service quality and ranking of their gyms.   Manuscript profile

        Short-term load forecasting is very important in electrical marketing. Load forecasting is dependent on climatic condition of every region and the previous structures of electrical consumption in that region; so we have accomplished this through employing climatic data (including temperature and pressure) and real load consumption of Chaharmahal Bakhtiari. We have evaluated our method using four machine learning algorithms: artificial neural networks (multilayer perceptron), ensemble of artificial neural networks, support vector machine and ensemble of support vector machine. Experimental results indicates that ensemble of artificial neural networks is superior to the others in the field of load consumption forecasting of Chaharmahal Bakhtiari. Manuscript profile

        Among the requirements for capital markets development is to analyze the individual investors' behavior from the different aspects. In this study, the individual investors' behavior has been investigated based on the expanded theory of planned behavior (including two variables: optimism-pessimism and financial literacy). The required data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires among 266 individual investors. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling in the form of SmartPLS version 3 and SPSS version 26 software. According to the research findings, all 10 research hypotheses were confirmed. Out of 10 hypotheses, 7 are related to direct effects and 3 are related to indirect effects. This means that the variables of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and optimism-pessimism have a positive and significant effect on people's investment intention. In addition, variables of optimism-pessimism and financial literacy have a positive and significant effect on attitude. Also, the variable of financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on the variable of perceived behavioral control. Based on the research findings, the variables of attitude and the perceived behavioral control have a mediating effect on the relationships between optimism-pessimism and financial literacy variables with people's investment intention. Finally, based on the research findings, the implementation of the extended planned behavior theory in the capital market can help the growth and development of this market. Manuscript profile

        The CEO behavioral pattern is the most important factor in decisions regarding corporate financing and capital structure composition. With the increasing competitiveness and management difficulty in highly complex organizational environments, firms (companies/organizations) require CEOs who can identify and consider such inherent complexity in momentous decisions. Risk management constitutes a major part of this decision-making process. Therefore, this study sought to address how CEO’s optimism and myopia affect different dimensions of corporate risk management, including compliance, strategy, operation, and reporting, considering the moderating role of CEO’s political connection and efficiency. To this end, the data were collected from 130 firms listed on Tehran Stock Exchange in the 2014–2018 timeframe, and they were analyzed using multivariate regression with combined data. Results (from hypothesis testing) showed that CEO’s optimism has a negative relationship with strategy and operation, but a positive one with reporting. They also revealed that there is a negative, significant relationship between CEO’s myopia and strategy and compliance. CEO’s political connection turns negative the relationship between CEO’s optimism and operation as well as the relationship between CEO’s myopia and compliance; in addition, it has a positive effect on the relationship between CEO’s optimism and compliance and strategy, and a negative one on (the relationship with) operation. The mediating role of CEO’s efficiency is positive in the relationship between myopia and strategy and reporting, and it is negative in the relationship of myopia with operation. Manuscript profile

        Pessimism or despair is a psychological condition which occurs in people's rational and emotional area, and is common in almost every society. A sharp form of this which is seen in poets and the enlightened is called "philosophical despair". The bases of this condition can be sought in the people's personal life events and the society's political, social and economical transitions. In the beginning of the twentieth century and after the failure of the constitutional movement, parts of the hearts of poems turned into pessimism and despair. Iraj Mirza is one of the prominent poets of this era whose thoughts and literary works are affected by despair and pessimism. The bases of this pessimism are under the influence of the unkindness of friends, the death of the young child, the lack of societal situations, the loss of governmental positions and the decline of the aristocratic place of his family.

        The goal of the present study was to determine the role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in predicting depression. In this correlation study, 262 Isfahan Payame noor University students from different fields were selected by multi-stage random sampling method. Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies Questionaire (Garnefski et al., 2002) and SCL-90 (Derogatis et al., 1973), Were administered. Research data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression. The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that from among of the nine scales of cognitive emotion regulation strategies scale, catastrophizing, acceptance, refocusing on planning, rumination, and recent stress, respectively, influence and significantly predict depression (P < 0.001). But, self-blame, blaming others, positive reappraisal, positive refocusing and putting into perspective strategies had no effect on depression and were removed from the equation. These results provide guidelines for the prevention of depression through modification of cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Manuscript profile

This semi- experimental study was conducted with pretest - posttest and control group. Statistical population included all first grade state and day high school girl students in Hamadan in the academic year 2010-11 (1389-90s.c.) and the sampling method was multistage cluster sampling. The sample was comprised of 96 students and subjects were randomly assigned into the four groups of 24 persons each (3 experimental grups and 1 control group). The research instrument was the Optimism Questionnair (Oleary & Fincham, 2000). Experimental treatment was conducted on the experimental groups during 10 sessions and then posttests were administrated on the 4groups. Statistical analysis was conducted by one-way analysis of variance and LSD test using SPSS-16 software. Results showed that there is a difference among all methods effectiveness except metaphor effectiveness as compared with attribution and attribution effectiveness as compared with control, on improving optimism in the first grade high school girl students (P < 0.001). Also, when the effectiveness of these three methods were compared, it was found out that the most effective methods were metaphor / attribution, metaphor and attribution respectively. These findings show that metaphor training and attribution/ metaphor training leads to optimism improve students. Therefore using new training such as metaphor and attribution/metaphor can reduce the current and future difficulties of students. Manuscript profile

          The present study was carried out in order to predict psychological well-being via resiliency and test the mediating role of optimism in the relationship between psychological well-being and resilience. To this end, a sample of 414 students of medicine (213 boys and 191 girls) was selected through multistage cluster sampling. They were asked to Complete Resiliency Scale (Connor & Davidsons, 2003), Optimism Scale (Scheier and Carver, 1995) and Well-being Scale (Ryff, 1989). The results indicated that resilience can predict psychological well-being. The results showed that correlation of optimism with predictive variable (resilience) is positive and significant (P < 0.01, r=0.38) and with the criterion variable (psychological well-being) is also positive and significant (P < 0.01, r= 0.45). According to the results of hierarchical regression, it may be concluded that optimism plays a partial mediating (and not full) role in the relationship between resiliency and psychological well-being. Based on the findings it can be said that part of the effect of resiliency on, psychological well-being could be applied through optimism. The findings showed that regardless of the level of resilience, optimism can, to some extent, facilitate psychological well-being. All correlations were significant in the level of 0.01.

Research used Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the reliability, and confirmatory factor analysis for the validity based on Structural Equation Model. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for positive psychological capital scale was 0/89 and for optimism, hope, resilience, and self-efficacy subscales in order were 0/70, 0/83, 0/73, and 0/87. results of one factor and four factor confirmatory analysis based on Luthans et al theoretical model showed that four factor model has more favorable goodness of fit indexes than one factor model. Fit indexes are favorable. The correlation between total positive psychological capital scale with optimism, hope, resiliency and self-efficacy factors respectively is 0.76, 0.87, 0.88, and 0.84, which shows a good validity. The correlation between the factors is between 0.41 and 0.62, which is significant at level (P &lt;0.01). In order to evaluate the differential validity of the positive psychological capital scale, simultaneous implementation of Counterproductive Workplace Behavior (CBW) scale was used. The result showed that the positive and negative anticipatory capital scale had a negative correlation (-0.39). There is no significant difference between the positive psychological capital of the staff of the six education areas at level (P &lt;0.05), but there is significant difference between the level of psychosocial capital of the male and female education staffs in the level (P &lt;0.05). Based on these results, this scale which has reliability and validity can be considered for future researches. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study was analyzing the relationships of psychological capital (PsyCap) with achievement goals and academic performance of the first-year university students of Islamic Azad University in Masjed Soleiman and Ahwaz branches. The participants were consisted of 520 students (262 males and 258 females) who were selected by using the stratified random sampling method. The used instruments in the present study were consisted of Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (ADSH), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), Resiliency Scale (RS), and Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) in order to assess each of the four factors of making up psychological capital. The Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS) and Andrew Achievement Goals Scale were used to measure the achievement goals. The average of student's final scores in that semester was used to measure the academic performance. For analyzing the data, the confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression methods were applied. The results showed that psychological capital and its four components with mastery-approach and performance-approach goals, and also academic performance had a meaningful positive relationship. Moreover, psychological capital and its four components had negative relationship with performance avoidance goal. Achievement goals had meaningful relationship with academic performance as well. In addition, the combination of the four variables of hope, optimism, resiliency and self-efficacy with respect to higher order construction of psychological capital can predict the mastery- approach goal and academic performance of the students more effectively.

        Land use changes act as a significant factor in the environmental changes and have become a global threat. Monitoring and prediction these changes by satellite images and models can help the planners and managers to make more conscious planning decisions. In this regard, the current research aimed to monitor, model and predict land use changes using CA-Markov model in Kohmare Sorkhi region, Fars province in 2024 for a period of 25 years (1987-2012). To implement the mentioned model, the land use map was first prepared by ETM+ and TM sensors during three years (1987, 2000, 2012). Then, validation of maps and change detection process were performed. The results of change detection for the first period (1987-2000) and second period (2000-2012) with an accuracy of 83% and Kappa index of 88% have shown the greatest increase in the rangeland area (4224.24 ha) and the greatest decrease in the forest area (3953.75 ha). In the next stage, in order to calibrate the CA-Markov model, land use map for 2012 was predicted; on the other hand, regarding Error Matrix between the modeling land use map and the reference land use map, the Kappa index wad given as 75%. Finally, considering the previous stage, the land use map for the outlook of 2024 was predicted. The final results for 2024 indicated that the forest area would endure the great amount of changes in comparison with 2012. The forests would change into the irrigated agricultural area and rangelands which can be considered in sustainable development planning by decision makers. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays modeling and forecasting of land use changes by application of satellite images can be a very useful tool for describing relations between natural environment and human activities to help planners to make decisions in complicated conditions. There are various methods for forecasting of land uses and coverage, in which the Markov chain model is one of them. In this research, land use changes in Bartash plain in Dehloran which is located in Ilam province in the area of 135244 hectares in 3 time periods (1988, 2001 and 2013) of landSat satellite images, providing land use map in 6 classes (low density forest, medium-dense grassland, poor grassland, agricultural, alluvium sediments and non-vegetated lands) by application of&nbsp; Kohonens neural network and also Markov anticipation model and Land change modeler (LCM) approach was predicted for the year 2030. The classification results showed the rate of demolition and a reduction of the area of low density forests and medium grassland land uses and increase in area of other land uses. Reduction of low density forest and the medium grassland area and increasing growth of other land uses demonstrated the overall destruction in the region and replaced with poorer land uses. At the end, by application of the Markov chain model and LCM modeling approach, land use changes were a forecasted for the year 2030. The results of changes anticipation matrix based on maps of years 2001 and 2013 showed that it is likely that in the period of 2013-2030, 45% of low density forest, 71% of medium grassland, 96% of poor grassland, 81% of agricultural lands, 93% alluvialvium sediments and 100% of non-vegetated lands remain changeless; non-vegetated lands have the most stability and low density forest have the least stability.

        Deforestation affects watershed processes and biochemical cycles and lead to soil erosion and lack of water in the catchment areas. This study is aimed to investigate the changes in forest land in the Chaloorood watershed on the west of Mazandaran province using Geomod. In this study, maps of forest in the years of 1987 and 2015 were prepared using satellite images. Then the suitability&nbsp; forest map was produced by making a regression equation between suitability criteria maps and forest changes map in the period of 1987-2015. Finally, by using forest map in 1987, forest suitability map and the number of modified pixels in forest land between 1987 and 2015, Forecast of the forest map for 2043 was done using Geomod. Also, by using the Validate function and classified forest map 2015, as a reference map, and the forecasting forest map 2015,&nbsp; as a comparative map, the validity of the production map was evaluated. The results showed that the area of forest land in 1987, 2015, and 2043 was 38683.65, 2464.354 and 15227.25 hectares, respectively. The extent of forest changes in the last 28 years and the next 28 years is 35.72% and 38.76% respectively. Forest changes in the period between 1987 and 2015 under the influence of factors such as distance from the road, forest cover density, distance from the village, slope and elevation above sea level, respectively. The Pseudo R2 and ROC coefficients are 0.29 and 0.85 respectively, which indicates the proper ability of the model to estimate forest changes over the past 28 years and the relative agreement of the model with the real changes. In this study the accuracy of resulting land use maps was 96%, which represent the appropriate capability of Geomod in land use changes modeling in Chaloosrood watershed. Manuscript profile

        Land use and land cover (LULC) change because of its impact on natural ecosystems has become a concern for natural resources protectors and managers. The present study aimed to predict LULC changes and also to study the relation of drought with these changes in the sub-basin Parsel B2 with an area of 21100 hectares using CA-Markov model and Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). For this purpose, using the preprocessed images of the sensors TM, ETM+, and OLI for the years 1986, 2001 and 2016, respectively, the LULC map was provided with supervised classification and maximum likelihood method. To validate the CA-Markov model, the LULC maps have been predicting for 2016 and they were compared to the reference land use map of 2016. After ensuring the accuracy of the predicted results for the year 2016, the related land use and land cover maps were predicted for the year 2030. The result showed a relation between LULC changes and drought condition. Based on result predicted for the year 2030, rain-fed agriculture 6.95% increase and range land 6.66% decrease in area. Thus In the event of drought and abandonment rain-fed agriculture land, soil erosion, increasing and also grazing pressure on the remaining range land causing range land degradation. Therefore, if the current land use strategy with current management remain, land degradation in the region will be inevitable. Manuscript profile

        Background and ObjectiveToday, land use change in many countries has become an important challenge that has many effects on the environment. Accordingly, the study of land use change at different scales is one of the important issues in the proper management of natural resources and environmental change at various levels. Therefore, being aware of land use changes and investigating their causes and factors in several time periods, and predicting land use changes in the future can be properly planned to reduce adverse effects, which has been considered by planners and city managers. They help in land use planning. Also, converting land uses to each other and changing the use of vegetation is known as an important issue. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to monitor and predict land use changes and land cover in Abbasabad urban area in the future; Using these changes, appropriate management measures can be taken to preserve and rehabilitate lands. Materials and Methods A combination of an automated cell model and Markov chain in the Abbasabad urban area was used to predict land use change; The relevant images were taken from the TM and OLI sensors of the Landsat 8 and 5 satellites at the USGS site. Four user classes, including zone class built with code number 1, vegetation class with code number 2, water resources class with code number 3, and barren land class with code number 4, were separated for Abbasabad urban area. Obtained USGS. In order to extract land use classes, after checking several methods, object-oriented classification method and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm were used due to better efficiency. Evaluation of Babian satellite imagery classification The overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were performed for three periods of time. Each of these classified maps was evaluated by drawing an error matrix. 250 sample points were used to prepare this matrix. The type of sampling was stratified sampling. Also, to determine land use changes in 2030, classified maps were used and with the help of TerrSet software, changes made in classes and their percentages were obtained, and using the CA-MARKOV model, changes of different classes based on matrices. The possibility of transfer was predicted. Results and Discussion The results during 1997, 2006, and 2017 show that the constructed area has an increasing trend and the uses of vegetation, barren lands, and water resources have a decreasing trend and 23279 hectares of lands in the region are built area dedicated. The kappa coefficient calculated for 1997, 2006, and 2017 is 0.86, 0.89, and 0.89, respectively. Markov chain forecasting model with 85% accuracy stated that the trend of land use change for 2030 will be the same as in previous years, and this indicates that the conversion and change of land uses will proceed as before, and it is necessary to mention this point that the identical uses of vegetation to vegetation cover the largest area during the years 2006 to 2017, and this shows that in this area, vegetation is still stable and has undergone less changes. Conclusion The output of the 13-year forecast map for 2030 in this study indicates the appropriate accuracy of the CA-MARKOV model. In addition, this output shows that this method can be trusted for short-term planning. These forecast maps can be a good guide for managers and urban planners. To achieve better results, it is recommended to use a combination of automated cell model and Markov chain to monitor and predict changes nationwide. The results of this study, in addition to helping to reduce the volume of input data, but also in the processing of classified images and in predicting them for the future. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective The expansion of urbanization has increased the scale and intensity of thermal islands in cities. Investigating how cities are affected by these thermal islands plays an important role in the future planning of cities. For this purpose, this study examines and predicts the effect of land cover (LC) changes in the three classes of LC including urban areas, barren lands, and vegetation on land surface temperature (LST) in the city of Yazd during the last 30 years using Landsat 5 and 8 images. This study also examines the effect of the ratio of proximity to the barren land and vegetation classes during this period to examine how the recorded LST is affected by the mentioned ratio.Materials and Methods The LC maps of Yazd city were extracted using a supervised Artificial Neural Network classifier for 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020. Terrestrial data, google earth, and ground truth maps were used to derive training data. The LST of Yazd was obtained from the thermal band of Landsat 5 and Landsat 8. After that, the LST was classified into six available classes, including 16-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, and 41-46&deg;C which has shown that the four last classes play an important role in LST changes in Yazd city during last 30 years. To evaluate the effects of the proximity of barren land and vegetation LC classes on the LST recorded by the sensor, firstly the proximity ratio was calculated in 5&times;5 kernels for all image pixels. Then the mean of LST was derived based on this ratio of barren and vegetation lands.Results and Discussion The results of this study showed that in Yazd city, from 1990 to 2020, the area of the urban area has grown 91.5 % (33.6 km2) over the last 30 years. Barren and vegetation land, have negative growth in the area over the same period. From 1990 to 2020, barren lands in Yazd experienced a growth -79.4% (21.3 km2), which the sharp growth of urban areas justifies this negative growth in barren lands. Vegetation classes in Yazd from 1990 to 2020, have experienced a growth -68.5% (12.2 km2). The average ground temperature of this city has been constantly increasing during these 30 years. By 2020, the city of Yazd, reaching an average of 38.1&deg;C compared to 29.2&deg;C in 1990, has experienced a 30.4% increase in its average LST. The temperature classes of this city have also moved towards warmer temperature classes in these 30 years. As the main part of the LST area of Yazd, in 1990, in the first place, the class of 26-30 &deg;C with 47 km2 and at the second place the class of 31-35 &deg;C with 26.4 km2 are classified. In 2000, in a reverse trend, the main LST class was 31-35&deg;C with 52.8 km2 as the first place and the 26-30&deg;C class with 20 km2 as the second place. With an increased class, the LST class of 36-40 &deg;C for both 2010 and 2020 with 40.2 and 63 km2 respectively has been recorded as the largest LST class. The LST class of 31-35 &deg;C has been recorded as the second LST class of both years with 33.2 and 9.7 km2, respectively. The difference between these two years is in the growth -70.7% (23.5 km2) of the class area of 31-35&deg;C and the increase of 10.3% (0.8 km2) of the hottest class of the statistical period, 41-46&deg;C, in 2020, compared to 2010. The results of this study also showed that the highest average temperature in all year was recorded for barren lands at 37.3&deg;C. Also, a positive correlation (mean correlation 0.95) was shown between the proximity to barren land cover and the mean LST. However, the sharp upward trend of urban areas in the whole statistical period (91.5% with 33.6 km2) as the second class with the highest average LST after the barren lands with an average of 34.1 &deg;C versus a downward trend of 79.4% (21.3 km2) of barren lands has increased the average LST over a statistical period of 30 years. It is because the decrease of 68.5% (12.2 km2) of vegetation areas as an LC class with the lowest average LST (32.2&deg;C) in the same period, neutralized the effect of decreasing barren lands and intensified the trend of increasing the LST. Meanwhile, a negative correlation (mean correlation -0.97) was established between the ratio of proximity to vegetation and the average LST. The results of forecasting land cover changes in 2030 in the city of Yazd indicate that in a process similar to previous periods, the class of urban areas will increase. This growth will not be significant compared to 2020, with 1.6% (1.1 km2). However, a significant decrease in green areas (vegetation) by -19.6% (1.1 km2) in the same period, along with a slight decrease in barren lands -1.8% (0.1 km2) will cause the earth&rsquo;s surface to become warmer, and the area of LST classes will be increased by the year. Accordingly, the main area of the LST class in 2030 for the city of Yazd, as in 2020, is forecasted 36-40&deg;C with 58.2 km2 (-7.6% growth compared to 2020). But the dramatic growth of the hottest class of LST over the statistical period (41-46&deg;C) with 166.3% (14.3 km2) growth as the second major class of LST in this year (2030), as well as the negative and dramatic growth of the relatively cooler class 31-35&deg;C with -97.9 % (9.5 km2) in this year indicates the warmer ground surface temperature in 2030.Conclusion The results of this study indicate that in 30 years in Yazd city, the decrease in vegetation in the first place, along with the increase in urban areas in the second place, has caused an increase in LST. Thus, the vegetation class reduces the LST due to its cooling effect considering its water content. In this study, it was shown that by taking all factors into account, the reduction of barren lands will lead to a decrease in LST, and also increasing urban areas with a lower impact factor than barren lands will increase the LST. However, the decrease in the area of green lands (vegetation) in recent years, along with the sharp increase in the area of urban areas has caused an increase in LST. Increasing the proximity to vegetation by creating green areas by increasing the ratio of vegetation in the vicinity of different LC and also reducing the area of barren lands, can be a good solution to deal with the impact of urbanization in recent years on ground surface temperature.

        229 - Monitoring Bakhtegan wetland using a time series of satellite data on the Google Earth Engine platform and predicting parameters with Facebook’s Prophet model

        Background and Objective Wetlands are habitats for vegetation and wildlife and because of this, they have a high environmental value. Also, wetlands reduce soil erosion, restore aquifers, store rainwater in a flood event, and provide water for agriculture or livestock. Wetlands are vulnerable to human interventions and changes such as drainage, urban sprawl, infrastructure development, and over-exploitation of groundwater resources. Prediction of the condition of wetlands in the future requires a correct understanding of the evolution of wetlands and identifying their trend of change. Nowadays, Remote Sensing technology is widely used for mapping wetlands, and its ability to monitor the changes in wetlands regardless of the diversity of wetlands has significantly increased the value of this science in this field. Remote Sensing can be an effective means of simulating and predicting wetland degradation processes by providing images at different times and through dynamic spatial modeling. In this study, the changes in the Bakhtegan wetland have been monitored. This wetland has high environmental and tourism importance and its drying affects negatively the living conditions and health of local people as well as tourism in the region. In addition, predictions of precipitation parameters, groundwater level, and temperature have been conducted. For this purpose, the Google Earth Engine platform was used to capture and process images. Google Earth Engine is a platform that can capture and process images in the shortest time and at high speed. In this regard, using Google Earth Engine, changes in the lake water area along with changes in temperature, groundwater level, and precipitation were extracted and monitored. Moreover, a comparison took place between these parameters to determine the changes that have taken place in the lake over the past two decades. To predict the parameters, the changing pattern was predicted and analyzed using the Prophet model. The most important advantage of the Prophet model is its ability to convert discrete data to continuous data to make the best predictions. This method automatically detects the trend of seasonal data and displays the trend of seasonal changes.Materials and Methods Satellite images were acquired from the Google Earth Engine platform to monitor the wetland. Landsat 7 and 8 images were used for water body extraction, GRACE Data were used for extraction of groundwater level changes, MODIS product was used for extraction of vegetation and wetland surface temperature, and TRMM image product was used to extract precipitation values. An automated water extraction index was used to extract the wetland body water. The groundwater level was extracted from the GRACE sensor. MODIS sensor product was used to obtain the surface temperature time series for the study area. For the extraction of precipitation time series, the monthly cumulative data of the TRMM (3B43V7) satellite with a spatial resolution of 0.25&deg;C was extracted using Google Earth Engine and the trend of changes was evaluated and analyzed. The Mann-Kendall test is one of the most widely used non-parametric tests for detecting meteorological and environmental data trends, which is used to detect a monotonic trend line since this test is a non-parametric method, it does not need that the data follow a normal distribution. The Prophet predictive model is a predictive library developed by Facebook and is available in R and Python programming languages. This library supports additive modeling methods and can properly predict discrete values continuously. This feature is called "Holiday". Another feature of this library is the automatic detection of daily, weekly, seasonal and annual trends. The mean absolute error (MAE), by default, exists in the Prophet library. This error represents a more natural standard than the mean error and unlike the RMSE error, it is unambiguous.Results and Discussion In the present study, we monitored the Bakhtegan wetland using the Google Earth Engine platform to observe the trend of water level changes in this wetland from 2000 to 2020. In addition, Parameters were also predicted using the Prophet Prediction method which is developed and published by Facebook. By examining this trend, it can be observed that the water level of the wetland has been significantly reduced during two decades. In this regard, the trend of groundwater level, temperature, and precipitation in the area was investigated. Examining these factors, it was found that along with a 58.3% decrease in the water level of the wetland, there was a 260% decrease in the groundwater level of the region, although the amount of rainfall in the region has been less compared to other factors and has been decreased about 29%. Using Mann-Kendall statistical test, the trend of this decline was proved. To predict the parameters, the Prophet model has been able to make predictions for 1500 days as continuous data using discrete data. The output of the model has shown that for rainfall parameters and groundwater level a downward trend is predictable over the next 1500 days which is low intensity for precipitation but with high intensity for groundwater level. Temperature prediction indicated that it has a seasonal trend, and has a high amount of fluctuation within a year, but its annual trend indicates stability in the coming years. The results of the model for the water level of the wetland also show a relatively low upward trend that has a probability of change of &plusmn;12.5 Square kilometers. Also, the error of the parameters at the 95% significant level has acceptable accuracy, which indicates the validity of the prediction. An automated water extraction index was used in this study to extract the time series of the water body of the wetland. Using the mean time series extracted, the maximum and minimum wetland&rsquo;s water body area belongs to 2006 with 629.23 square kilometers and 2014 with 156.82 square kilometers, respectively. The time series of changes in this wetland indicates that the water volume of the wetland has been declining in the last two decades. According to this study, it can be concluded that the trend of changes in the water level of the wetland has been decreasing. The descending changes in the lake based on the trend of changes in groundwater levels indicates a decrease in water volume in the area. Considering that the trend of precipitation changes has been stable, it can have assumed that improper management and excessive use of groundwater may be a reason for lowering the water level of the wetland. Due to the same decrease in the water level of the lake, the temperature has also decreased by about 3&deg;C.Conclusion According to this study, it can be concluded that groundwater levels and precipitation will have a downward trend in the future, which will lead to a decrease in the water level of the wetland, which itself has the potential to fluctuate in the future, and the downward trend continues. With the current trend, the only solution is to plan properly to preserve the wetland. If this trend continues, we will face the destruction of the wetland. Given the monthly trend of the wetland surface, it is suggested not to over-exploit groundwater resources, especially in the summer. For further research, the Google Earth Engine platform can be used without the need to download the images and spend a lot of time and money, to obtain the time series of images. Regarding the prediction, in future studies, the Prophet model can be applied, since it uses discrete data and at the same time provides the desired accuracy. Manuscript profile

        In this research, land use changes in previous years and the possibility of predicting in the future using Markov chain model were investigated in the Maraveh Tappeh region of Golestan province. Therefore, using images of MSS, ETM+ and OLI sensors of LandSat satellite and using ancillary information, land use maps of 1986, 2000 and 2014 was provided and land use map of 2024 was predicted. According to the results, dense forest area decreased during the study period and with passing time but the area of agricultural land increased with the passage of time while the dense rangeland area decreased during the period 1984-2000. The annual growth rate of agricultural land has achieved 113.45 ha during the period 1984-2000 and this change value was obtained 91.27 ha for the period 2000-2014. The results of predicting changes in the time interval 2014-2028, showed it is possible that will be decreased semi-dense forest and dense rangelands and will be increased other land-use areas according to results of model predictions. The highest increase will be belonging to agricultural land use that will be increased to 25.89 ha per year.&nbsp; According to research findings, land-use changes are causing degradation of natural resource areas. However, in recent years, have taken effective actions to protect these areas, but more attention and protection of natural resources and environment in the Marave Tappeh region is essentially still.

        The aims of this study were to find the distribution of sound speed under the influence of water's physical parameters; to predict spatial analysis in oceanography using geostatistical methods; to forecast value parameters for the Persian Gulf and zoning the sound speed. Sound Speed was calculated using Chen-Millero formula and pressure, salinity, and temperature data. The data extracted from World Ocean Atlas 2013 with regular mesh grid 0.25 degree. Sound speed was calculated using the Chen-Millero formula. Spatial analysis of the sound speed comparison based on three methods Kriging, Co-Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighted. These methods were performed using GS+ software in both warm and cold season. The best method finally used to forcast and prepare the plans of zoning sound speed. The Pearson&rsquo;s correlation test was performed between independent variables and sound speed showed that the maximum correlation occurs between temperature and sound speed. Therefore, the temperature was considered as the auxiliary variable in Co-Kriging method for spatial analysis of sound speed. Cross-validation results showed that model's forecasting in cold season was better&nbsp; compared to warm season in this region. Results of spatial analysis showed that the sound speed decreased about 20m/s in all layers from the Hormuz Strait toward the northwestern part of the Persian Gulf. Because of the increased salinity the maximum of sound speed was always in the south shallow area. In all investigated stations, sound speed reduced with increasing depth, due to temperature reduction and the sound channel is not also observed. Manuscript profile

        Monitoring and optimal management of natural resources is requiring an update and accurate information. In this context, land use/cover maps is considered as a one of the most important sources of information on natural resources management. Optimal management of resources requires assessment and understanding of the changes and degradation of resources in the past. It also needs to have an accurate plan in order to control and inhibition of the happened destruction potential in future. The Markov chain model is one of the most efficient methods for predicting changes in land use and land cover. In this research, land cover changes in previous years and the possibility of predicting in the future are investigated in Bostagh plain using the Markov chain model. Therefore, using MSS (1987), ETM+ (2002) and OLI (2014) images sensors and region ancillary information,&nbsp; land use map is provided&nbsp; and 2024 land use map is predicted too. Land use maps were performed using kappa coefficient after correcting satellite images, determining training samples, and evaluating classification accuracy. According to the results, bare/barren and rangeland classes are the most dynamic existing usage in the region. The area percentage of these lands during 1987 to 2014 was&nbsp; 21.64% subtractive and 31.14% additive respectively. This represents a total degradation and replacement of the weaker use in the region. The results of predicting changes in the time interval 2014-2024, showed that 98% of residential lands, 88% of bare land, 77% of saline land, 45% of rangeland, and 37% of agriculture will remain unchanged. Moreover, the conversion of rangeland to bare land (41.94%) are the highest, and the conversion of bare lands to residential lands (0.02%) and rangeland to residential lands (0.03%) are the lowest&nbsp; possibility of conversion. Predicting maps derived from the Markov chain model are very important to provide an overview for better natural resources management.

        Introduction: Social networks are exposed to a variety of security problems due to their wide use and popularity. Therefore, identifying unusual activities in social networks is of paramount importance as it helps to obtain significant information about the behavior of unusual users and identify them.&nbsp; One of the important aspects of social network analysis is to check the presence of anomalies. Anomalies in the field of social networks imply irregular and often illegal behavior. A host of methods have been proposed to detect different kinds of anomalies in social networks. According to the employed approach, these methods can be classified into three categories, namely, clustering-based, based on network structure-based, and signal processing-based. In this paper, we extend the graph structure-based approach by introducing and analyzing important graph metrics to detect abnormal activities. Theoretical and experimental evaluation using several large data sets demonstrate that the relationship between the interface node and the number of edges helps to correctly detect and rank the maximum number of anomalies.Method: The proposed method is a combination of graphical and statistical theory. First, various metrics and graph structures are calculated, and then statistical methods are used to identify and analyze unusual structures (stars and clusters).Results: Statistical and visual analysis shows that the area covered by the curve is maximum for the interface (B) compared to the number of edges (E). The results show that the proxy is a scale that can correctly detect many abnormalities. It can also be said that the relationship between the (B) and the (E) helps to predict most anomalies.Discussion: In this research, a structure-based method was presented by using graph criteria to predict abnormalities. The curve fitting method based on the graph structure was extended to detect anomalies using the combination of new graph criteria. It was observed that the relationship between the interface and the edges helped to predict a large number of anomalies that were either misclassified or missed by the Oddball method and the ABC relationship to E. The abnormality scores assigned to the nodes help predict the degree of anomalies and rank the nodes according to their irrational behavior.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        IntroductionThis study was carried out in line with the development of adaptive traffic signal control systems to provide a better traffic control at intersections. In this approach, if the predicted data related to the future cycles are used to optimize the upcoming schedule, it will control the traffic in unforeseen cases and manage it before reaching the forthcoming cycles. In order to have enough data to create such a model, the required data from two intersections in Yazd city were collected and these intersections were simulated using AIMSUN software. Then these intersections were calibrated and validated for existing conditions. The prediction accuracy results were extracted by the proposed methods and compared with the linear regression method. RMSE, MAE and GEH errors were used to compare the methods.Method: The predicted queue length and arrival volume parameters for any entry approach of itersections are major variables required during the adaptive signal control process,&nbsp; Hence, Linear and Non-linear Support Vector Regression Methods combined with the time series method were used to predict these parameters. For comparison of the performance of these models with a conventional model, Linear Regression models were also developed for the prediction of these parameters.ResultsFor the developed model based on combined Linear Support Vector Regression and the time series methods, the number of optimal previous cycle data used in the model was measured as 6 and 2 previous data cycles for predicting the arrival volume at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections, respectively. The optimal number of previous data used in the model was measured as 9 and 11 previous data cycles for predicting the queue length at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections, respectively. Also, using the combined Non-Linear Support Vector Regression and the time series methods, the number of optimal previous data cycles was obtained as 8 and 2 cycles in predicting the arrival volume at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections, and the number of optimal previous data cycles was obtained as 7 and 7 cycles in predicting the queue length at Pajuhesh and Seyed Hassan Nasrollah intersections.Discussion: The results of RMSE, MAE and GEH measures were used to compare the performance of the developed models with the real data. This comparison indicated that the model based on the combined Non-Linear Support Vector Regression and time series methods, has produced the best performance in predicting traffic arrival volume than the other aforementioned models. However, in terms of predicting the queue length, this model produced a better performance than the combined Linear Support Vector Regression at only one of the intersections. The Linear Regression model produced the weakest performance in all comparisons. Thus, it can be concluded that the combined Support Vector Regression and time series methods are appropriate tools in predicting traffic parameters in these situations. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: A social network is a social structure made up of individuals or organizations. Social network analysis is an approach in which the network is considered as a set of nodes and relationships between them. Nodes are individuals and actually actors in the network and the relationships between them are displayed as connections between nodes.Method: Among many social network analysis issues, link prediction has attracted much attention due to the growing number of social network users. Link prediction means predicting which new interaction is going to happen in the future. Traditional link prediction methods considered pairs of nodes as a unit and made decisions based on commonalities between them. In addition, we proposed a new similarity measure for link prediction in social networks.Results: We compared this criterion with four prediction methods of Jaccard link, Salton Index, Salton Cosine, and resource allocation). Experimental runs in this article were carried out on five social network datasets. Our results showed that this criterion performed better than other link prediction techniques on all datasets.Discussion: Social network analysis has recently attracted lots of attention among researchers due to its wide applicability in capturing social interactions. Link prediction, related to the likelihood of having a link between two nodes of the network that are not connected, is a key problem in social network analysis. Many methods have been proposed to solve the problem. Among these methods, similarity-based methods exhibit good efficiency by considering the network structure and using as a fundamental criterion the number of common neighbors between two nodes to establish structural similarity.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Face recognition is one of the most important biometric technologies for people identification, also used in access control. Face recognition is one of the important steps before identity recognition. Usually, one method is used to detect the presence of faces in images. Still, in this research, to increase the accuracy of detection, the combination of two methods is used to improve the detection performance: Viola-Jones algorithm and the matching of image components and texture with face and skin components. In the first step, we use the Viola-Jones algorithm to detect the facial features. In the next step, the features of the eye and nose tissues are analyzed with regression neural networks, and facial features are recognized better according to the facial features. In this research, the texture features of the right and left eyes and the nose of the face are used to increase the matching accuracy. We have used the faces of the FDD-Fold dataset to evaluate the proposed method. Comparing the performance of this method with the RCNN deep network method with a much smaller number of training data, we reached an accuracy of 96.36%, more than the deep learning network. This method gives good results in systems with limited computing ability and average amount of data.The face recognition system is one of the biometric identification systems and one of the most important technologies for people identification, which is also used in access control. Face identification is one of the few biometric methods that, with the advantages of high accuracy and low level of human intervention, is used in cases such as information security, law enforcement and monitoring, traffic control, and registration in attendance systems. This method creates more convenience and development with fewer requirements. then, this method has received more attention during the last twenty years.Face detection is a local binary classification problem that shows the presence of faces in the given image using boxes surrounding them. Although the Viola-Jones method is less accurate than modern methods such as convolutional neural networks; Its much lower efficiency and training parameters compared to the millions of parameters of a typical CNN result in faster training, better accuracy with limited data, and its use in devices with limited computing power such as cameras and mobile phones. The innovation of this method is matching the geometric pattern of the edges to identify the presence of the face in the image, along with matching the skin texture. This method seems to be faster and more accurate than the previous ones.Method: In this research, in the first step, we use Viola-Jones, one of the optimal face recognition algorithms in the image, to detect facial components. In the next step, we use the adaptation of the general shape of facial parts such as eyes, and match the textures in the image with the predicted texture for human skin, to improve the recognition performance and increase the recognition accuracy, in such a way that the regression neural networks examine the eye and nose tissue characteristics and according to the characteristics of the facial tissue, the facial components are recognized by the regression neural network. The investigated features in the texture include minimum and maximum color intensity, mean and median, and variance of the image. The data is given to the regression neural network for training. Here Remarkable thing is matching the overall shape of the human head and face, and in the next step matching the overall shape of the facial parts such as the eyes to improve the accuracy of the presented method. We also use the matching of textures in the image with the texture predicted for human skin to further improve the accuracy of the program's performance. Manuscript profile

        Objective: Objective: After explaining the relationship between constraints and future research, one of the things that are effective in predicting or even making future in all areas is future literacy. It can be acknowledged that future literacy is a scientific skill that develops a better understanding of the predicted assumptions. Future literacy or future is an educational framework that makes it possible to visualize the approaches for the future.Health-centric exercise or sports for all are sports activities that are followed by the vitality of joy and health at the level of different societies. Future or lost literacy is a valuable futures study in sports. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to design a general informed forecasting system based on future literacy, which in this study was specifically tested on public sports.Methodology: This qualitative research, which is exploratory-fundamental in nature, with a focus on social constructivism and using the constructivist approach of the basic theory, presents a short-range theory in conscious forecasting based on future literacy. Research data were collected through purposive sampling using snowball technique and based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with experts in the field of futures, research and sports management. The number of participants in the study using the theoretical saturation index reached 14 people.In this study, data were coded and decomposed according to the field theory and with the construction approach. Instead of emphasizing the collection of facts and describing the actions, this approach emphasizes views, values, beliefs, feelings, defaults and ideologies of individuals. At the same time, interviews and receive feedback from interviewees during return to existing texts and documents, initial implications and codes were modified and modified. In this research, in all sampling process, three stages of free, communication and theoretical sampling stages were observed in the basis of the use of the construction approach of data theorem.Results: In this study, a multi-part model consisting of the main components of support processes, main processes, future images, future literacy and approaches was obtained. In this model, it was found that future literacy, which means encoding and decoding future images, can make conscious predictions about the future of public sports by using present-day potentials and existing processes.Conclusion: The arbitrary theory acknowledges that future literacy, which is an accessible skill based on human intrinsic capacity, can be based on current time potentials such as the main processes, such as identifying weak signals, surprises, macro trends, propulsion forces, uncertainties, design Strategic radar, based on environmental scanning and backup processes, such as inter-surface participation, key actor analysis, perspective, planning, entirely, cramps, and reengineering, make upcoming images; The upcoming literacy by decoding or coding these images based on the empowerment loop, which consists of four elements of awareness of the past and present, choosing and participating in the present and discovering in the coming time, provide information for different future.The existing system, beyond the conventional views in futures studies, can be a starting point for modeling informed predictions in sports.

        The economic growth of any country has a lot to do with the infrastructure of the electrical energy supply chain and the ability to access it at low cost. Increasing the resilience of the electric energy supply chain in order to be able to respond to the real time demand of high-consumption and strategic consumers is a challenge that will not be possible without considering long-term demand forecasting and integrated development planning of this chain. This paper presents a long-term demand forecasting approach in the electrical energy supply chain of Isfahan's Espidan iron stone industries. This approach is a combination of wavelet transform, long short-term memory (LSTM) network and finally integrating the results with data-mining technique based on machine learning. The company studied in this research is one of the main suppliers of raw materials in the supply chain of basic metal production industries and one of the ten energy-intensive industries in the electrical energy supply chain of Isfahan province. The only information available from this company is the daily time series signal of the historical electrical energy demand of this industry in a period of 40 months. The data in the studied time series is interrupted so that only 50% of the data has a value and the remaining 50% is zero. This lack of data and the impossibility of access to supplementary data and effective features for forecasting has reduced the density of data and the possibility of long-term demand forecasting faces more problems than continuous time series. The used statistical analysis showed that the annual and seasonal data do not follow the normal distribution and have high distortion and heterogeneity. The proposed method and its results have been compared with other available approaches. The results of 10 iterations of extreme learning machine methods show that the RELM technique with a high confidence level of 95% is more effective than other machine learning methods and has more accurate results.

        The beauty issue has been incorporated into the foundation of all human beings, so the recognition of beauty and the pursuit of beauty is rooted in our soul, and in fact, man needs to be in relation to beauty. Therefore, without the beauty of the soul, it remains in the darkness and the violence of matter and in the domination of the quantities, the work of beauty with humanity is in fact attracting his attention. He is refreshed and meaningful in order to break down from quantity and to deal with qualities until his life. And in fact, the relationship between truth and meaning with beauty is explained in this way, because beauty is an expression of perfection or truth. In this article, we try to use the analytical and descriptive method and library studies to define the truth and beauty and the relation between two of the views of Islamic thinkers. Finally, the expression of these concepts and, in fact, the manifestation of content and truth in the body of Islamic architecture Check in. It is also possible to achieve perfection with care in a beautiful work, in addition to the fact that the sensation of human aesthetic is saturated. This is evident in the architecture of the Islamic era despite the long years of their creation due to the deep link between the artist and the eternal meanings and facts. Therefore, as far as the relationship between the three concepts (truth, beauty and art) goes further and deeper, a better and more useful understanding of beauty and perfection will arise, making the human a beautiful and humane art, as well as the ability to create works Beautiful and perfectionist, containing absolute truth.

        Seed dormancy is the failure of viable seeds to germinate in a specified period of time under optimal conditions for germination of non-dormant seeds and is one of the main mechanisms responsible for invasion and persistence of weeds in agricultural fields. Environmental factors such as temperature, moisture and chemicals affect the seed dormancy release and induction and consequently germination and seedling emergence patterns in the field. Thus, knowledge about seed dormancy and its relation with environmental factors is essential to predict the timing of germination and implementation of a rational strategy of weed management. The soil seed bank is the primary source of new infestations of annual weeds in crop production systems. Some annual weeds produce seeds that remain viable in the soil for many years, while others produce seeds that may be viable for only a single season. Seed persistence also may be influenced by depth of burial. Thus, knowledge of the length of seed persistence in the soil seed bank and periodicity of seedling emergence as influenced by the environment are of great importance for effective weed management. In this review, we present dormancy and germination models to predict timing and extent of emergence from weed seed bank. We hope that this paper will serve to give a general insight into modeling weed seedbank dormancy and germination and their use in weed science. Manuscript profile

        Weeds represent a continuous problem in agricultural production due to their dynamic and resilient nature. Mathematical models offer a significant tool for understanding and predicting the crop yield losses incurred due to weed-crop interference. Weed-crop competition models help to inform weed management decisions, both on a short-term basis to tackle the present weed population and in the long term to plan sustainable weed management strategies. Most competition studies are based on empirical models. Empirical functions are the most commonly used models, which provide information for weed threshold values. The limitations of such models are that they are based on statistical functions and usually do not consider biological insights for crop-weed interference. Crop-weed competition is a complex phenomenon, and to understand this, a detailed mechanistic model offers better insights than an empirical model. Mechanistic or explanatory models take into account all underlying processes or mechanisms and their dependence on each other with respect to time and external drivers. Competition models can be integrated within the framework of a decision support system (DSS). In this review, we present empirical and mechanistic models that are currently in use for studying crop-weed interference. Manuscript profile

        Lavender with the scientific name Lavandula stricta Del is a perennial medicinal plant with a height of about half a meter that grows in different regions of Iran. Drying is one of the oldest methods of preserving materials. The use of neural networks can be used in the design and selection of optimal working conditions and dryer control. In this study, various parameters of drying, evaluation of mathematical models to determine the best model, evaluation of different topologies of MLP artificial neural network to determine the best network for lavender plant with microwave dryer with power range of 100-1000 watts and The frequency of 2450 MHz is provided in four power levels of 300, 500, 700 and 900 watts. MLP artificial neural network was used to predict the relationship between drying kinetic parameters (moisture ratio and drying rate) and efficiency of energy consumption with changes in microwave power consumption using Statistica software. Among the fitted models, the Midili model was chosen as the best model according to R 2, &chi; 2 and RMSE criteria. Microwave power levels had an effect on drying time, with drying times of 3 minutes for 900 W power and 11 minutes for 300 W power. In order to predict drying kinetic parameters and energy consumption efficiency, MLP network with one input and three outputs was successfully used. The results generally showed that the MLP artificial neural network is a very powerful tool in predicting drying kinetic parameters and energy efficiency of lavender medicinal plant based on microwave power consumption values.

        Human sexual orientation has strong effect on determining sexual schemas, sexual partners and behaviors, so it is important to study it from a multiple perspectives. Growing sexual distortions in the West and its effects on policy, economy and etc. is an issue that could not be ignored. The role of women is substantial, especially in the western culture that beholds them as a commercial object. The Western governments use any means to induce their goals, even in other cultures especially Islamic ones. In the current article we investigated theories about lesbianism in women from a multiple perspectives including biological, cultural and psychosocial types. Also we have examined their strength. One of these theories is feminism &ndash; lesbianism theory which has basic role in shaping and inducing false ideas about women and lesbianism in women into culture. Manuscript profile

        پیش بینی بارش به دلیل ماهیت تصادفی آن در مکان و زمان همواره با مشکلات بسیاری مواجه بوده است و این عدم قطعیت از اعتبار بسیاری از مدل های پیش بینی می کاهد. امروزه شبکه های غیرخطی به عنوان یکی از سیستم های هوشمند در پیش بینی یک چنین پدیده های پیچیده ای بسیار مورد استفاده قرار می گیرند. یکی از روش هایی که در سال های اخیر در زمینه هیدرولوژی مورد توجه قرار گرفته است، استفاده از تبدیل موجک به عنوان روشی نوین و مؤثر در زمینه آنالیز سیگنال ها و سری های زمانی است. در پژوهش حاضر، تجزیه و تحلیل موجک به صورت ترکیب با شبکه عصبی مصنوعی و مقایسه با سیستم استنتاج فازی- عصبی تطبیقی برای پیش بینی بارش ایستگاه وراینه در شهرستان نهاوند انجام شد. برای این منظور، سری زمانی اصلی با استفاده از تئوری موجک به چندین زیرسیگنال زمانی تجزیه شد، پس از آن این زیرسیگنال ها به عنوان داده های ورودی به شبکه عصبی مصنوعی برای پیش بینی بارش ماهانه استفاده شد. نتایج به دست آمده نشان داد که مدل ترکیبی موجک- شبکه عصبی عملکرد بهتری نسبت به مدل سیستم استنتاج فازی- عصبی تطبیقی دارد و می تواند برای پیش بینی بارش کوتاه مدت و بلند مدت استفاده شود. همچنین نتایج نشان داد که مدل ترکیبی موجک- شبکه عصبی در برآورد نقاط حدی به خوبی عمل می کند.

        این تحقیق به منظور بررسی تاثیر شوری آب آبیاری بر کیفیت خاک در سطح و اعماق انجام گرفت. در این تحقیق از نسبت&shy;های مختلف سنگ نمک طبیعی و آب چاه با دبی 35 لیتر در ثانیه (در مختصات ً5/39&nbsp; َ27 &ordm;59 و ً2/39 َ27 &ordm;36) به منظور ایجاد شوری&shy;های متفاوت&nbsp; در شرایط کشت کلزا استفاده شد. در شرایط ماندگار، در یک غلظت مشخص از آب آبیاری، توزیع متفاوت در جذب آب سبب توزیع متفاوت شوری در خاک می&shy;شود. بر این اساس، &nbsp;از معادلات تابع جذب آب نمایی، ذوزنقه&shy;ای و الگوی جذب جهت بررسی تغییرات شوری استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد با افزایش زمان بعد از کاشت و اعمال تیمار&shy;های مختلف آبیاری، مقدار شوری عصاره اشباع خاک در اعماق مختلف خاک افزایش می&shy;یابد. در 3 تاریخ اولیه مقدار تفاوت در EC عصاره اشباع خاک خیلی زیاد نیست و در تاریخ 4 و 5 نمونه&lrm;برداری (یعنی 102 و 118 روز بعد از کشت کلزا) مقدار تفاوت&shy;ها بیشتر می&shy;شود. دلیل تفاوت کم در تاریخ&lrm;های 56، 71 و 87 روز بعد از کشت کلزا، وجود بارش در این مدت می&shy;باشد. در 71 روز بعد از کشت کلزا مقدار EC عصاره اشباع در اغلب تیمار&shy;ها کاهش داشت و از روند افزایشی پیروی نمی&shy;کرد که دلیل آن وقوع بارش در بازه اول الی 15 خرداد بود؛ که باعث آب&lrm;شویی املاح شده و EC عصاره اشباع خاک کاهش یافته است. البته باید اشاره داشت که در تیمار I4 چنین روندی مشاهده نمی&shy;گردد. زیرا کم&lrm;آبیاری شدید در این تیمار باعث تجمع املاح در سطح خاک شده است که بارش&shy;ها تنها سطح خاک را آب&lrm;شویی نموده و املاح را به اعماق پایین&lrm;تر منتقل کرده است. نتایج نشان داد که مدل ذوزنقه&shy;ای قادر به پیش&lrm;بینی شوری عصاره اشباع خاک نمی&shy;باشد. این روش شوری عصاره اشباع خاک را بسیار بیشتر از واقعیت برآورد می&shy;کند و نتایج آن تنها در شوری 5/0 دسی زیمنس بر متر تاحدودی قابل قبول است. در مقابل، نتایج دو مدل دیگر یعنی مدل نمایی و مدل تابع جذب، نتایج مناسب&lrm;تری را ارائه دادند. مدل نمایی در این سه سطح آبیاری دارای دقت قابل قبول&shy;تری نسبت به مدل تابع جذب بود.

The results showed that models 2 and 3 percent have lower and acceptable errors than other models. The existence of effective modules in models as well as in terms of the nature of projects, we conclude that Model No. 3 predicts the future costs of projects with a reasonable degree of certainty. In sum, we will select Model No. 3 as the top model to predict the future costs of the projects in question. However, we recall that for each project, depending on its nature, another particular equation may provide more accurate predictions. But in general it can be said that regression models are used to predict the costs of different periods The project is applicable to its nature. Manuscript profile

        Bullwhip effect that occurs in the chain, leads to inefficiencies such as excess inventory and overdue orders during the chain. These problems can be reduced by appropriate predictions. Forecasting must be done in all levels of a supply chain. This paper addresses the problem of optimal combination of forecasting to reduce the bullwhip effect in the four-level supply chain. For this purpose, a four-level supply chain is considered. One of the methods such as moving average, exponential smoothing, linear regression and multilayer perceptron artificial neural network can be considered for predicting in each level. First, the desired supply chain is simulated for this means. The different combinations of aforementioned forecasting methods are calculated. Then a combination of forecasting methods according to minimized bullwhip effects is selected. Finally, the results are analyzed by variance analysis model. Two combinations have the lowest bullwhip effects. Moving average, neural networks, exponential smoothing and linear regression for levels: retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer and supplier respectively as an answer and the other is: moving averages, exponential smoothing, neural network and linear regression in the same mentioned levels and other combinations have less utility.

        In today's world, insurance of productive capital investment and reducing economic risk causes more fundraising and therefore the greatest economic boom cycle. One way to arrive capital investment security is to predict bankruptcy of a business unit. As the Iranian power and energy stock is going to start working by 2012, providing suitable bits of advice to investors would be a priority. This paper proposes a new solution approach for bankruptcy prediction of the Iranian power and energy industries. To do so, an evolutionary algorithm premised on Learning Automata is employed and adapted to the problem. Two sets of firms related to power and energy industries that are listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) are selected as the training and test data, respectively. The developed algorithm is conducted on both train and test data, and the efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated via several scenarios. It was practically seen in simulations that the learning automata-based algorithm could achieve an accuracy of 91% and 88% over the train and test data, respectively. Besides these, the same data sets are also conducted by other methods such as MDA and Logit, and the obtained results are compared with reality. The yielded results prove the accuracy as well as the efficiency of the proposed solution technique &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Proper management and better control of inventory of food items are one of the most important and important goals of food store managers. In this study, we try to provide knowledge of customer segmentation based on various characteristics as inputs in predicting retail demand. The purpose of this paper is to provide a prediction model for retailers based on customer clustering to improve inventory performance. Customer clustering with the genetic algorithm is performed in MATLAB R2016a software. The proposed model is used to predict the demand for five items of supermarket goods in Gorgan. In this paper, the predictions of ARIMA, ARIMA, MLP, and GMDH neural networks are used to predict. Modeling of these models has been done in MATLAB software. The results showed that the GMDH neural network with the clustering of customers had the least predictive error. The model predicted by the inventory control policy reduces the number of days that the shortage faces and increases the level of service to the customer. Retailers can use the proposed model to predict the demand for various items to improve inventory performance and profitability of operations. Manuscript profile

        Land use changes due to the physical expansion of the city in most cities in Iran are so rapid, that urban planners and managers are facing a dynamic and complex development as they integrate the planning process in these areas. The purpose of this study is to investigate land use changes and physical development of Hashtgerd city during the past 19 years and to predict land use change trends for the future. In this study, Landsat multi-time images were used. Using the support vector classification machine algorithm and the algorithm for Cross-Tab change, land use change trends over the past 19 years was evaluated. Also, using the Cellular Automata Markov prediction model, the process of land use change and physical expansion of the city is predicted for the future. The results of this study indicate the unnecessary expansion of the city over the past 19 years. So that the built-up with 736.56% growth have caused excessive destruction of agricultural and bare lands on the outskirts of the city. Investigations show that with increasing distance from land use changes have significantly reduced the amount of land use. Investigation of changes in land uses showed that 564/166 hectares of waste land has become residential land use. Predicting land use changes for 2028 and 2038 showed that residential land use will continue to increase. This highlights the need for special attention of urban planners and managers to the issue of urban development and its consequences in the region. Finally, the evaluation of the accuracy of the automated cell model showed that the percentage of classes area difference was less than 8%. Manuscript profile

        Along with the ever-increasing urban population, the amount of construction in the city space has been developed. The development of construction in the horizontal space and regardless of the existing restrictions has led to environmental, economic and legal problems for the citizens. Achieving the amount, intensity and direction of construction development from the past to the present and predicting the construction situation in the future is the first step towards the scientific and practical management of the physical development of urban construction, planning and providing suitable solutions in order to create a balance between allocation Spatial-spatial construction and all kinds of legal, economic and environmental considerations. Data and information extracted from satellite images, while showing the historical changes of urban construction, are used as the main, necessary and necessary input data for models to predict its future state. In this research, satellite images of TM, ETM+ and OLI sensors of Landsat satellite were used in the time periods of 1997-2007 and 2007-2017 related to the city of Sari. After performing geometrical corrections, city area maps were prepared. Then, by using the effective parameters in urban construction changes, using the Cellular Automata(CA) Markov Model, the accuracy of the simulations was checked. Finally, for validation, the simulated maps and the ground reality map were matched with each other. The simulation of the construction development process in 2027 using the CA-Markov model showed that if the existing management regulations continue, this area will decrease from 4617.90 hectares in 2017 to 4357.44 hectares in 2027.

        AbstractIn today's society, investment diversity has become very important. People reduceinvestment risk by diversifying their portfolios. Bitcoin has gained muchpopularity as one of the digital capitals and has been included in the investmentportfolio of individuals and institutions. Bitcoin price prediction is essential fordetermining price trends and transactions. For this purpose, various traditionalmethods as well as methods based on machine learning have been presented, eachof which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Recently, the use of hybridmodels has received attention. Combined methods have good efficiency and usethe advantages of combined techniques. This paper presents a hybrid methodbased on a deep convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network withprobabilistic dropout. Eliminating possible randomness leads to the regularizationof learning, avoids overfitting, and reduces model error. The results of theexperiments show that the proposed method has a higher accuracy than thecompared methods in predicting the price of Bitcoin. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) is a protein that is synthesized by liver cells and binds to sex hormones to regulate their levels and bioavailability. Its binding to testosterone reduces bioavailable testosterone and causes diseases of the male reproductive tract such as infertility, erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer. Objective: In this in Silico study, the potential of several compounds present in Tulang honey against SHBG protein for the treatment of infertility has been investigated. Materials and methods: The six compounds in Tualang honey, Catechin, Ethyl oleate, Fisetin, Hesperetin, Kaempferol and Luteolin were obtained from previous studies and the PubChem pharmaceutical database. The binding energy and type of protein-ligand interactions were investigated by molecular docking of these compounds to SHBG protein. AutoDock Vina version 1.1.2 software was used to perform molecular docking and Discovery Studio v21.1.0.289 software was used to analyze molecular docking results. Then SwissADME and admetSAR 2.0 web servers were used to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of these compounds through ADMET predictions. Results: The binding energy obtained from molecular docking showed that Luteolin with a score of -10 kcal/mol binds to SHBG protein, and has more hydrogen-hydrophobic interactions than other studied compounds as well as compounds that have been worked on in recent papers. Catechin and Fisetin also showed an acceptable result. The study of ADMET and bioavailability radar showed that although these compounds have physicochemical properties for use as drugs, they have the potential to inhibit some cytochromes and toxicity for certain organs and DNA or other genetic material in the body that should be considered in the use of these compounds as drugs. Discussion and conclusion: Using this in silico study, several suitable molecules of natural origin against the SHBG protein were identified, which showed potential for the treatment of male infertility.

        Exchange rates always have a high priority and attractiveness in society, especially among companies. Different methods are used to predict the exchange rate, among which structural methods as methods of fundamental analysis, a little precision in advance. They have an accurate forecast of the exchange rate, but they are very useful as a long-term perspective and illuminate the movement of the exchange rate. Technical compensation can be used to compensate for the shortcomings of these methods. Using futures research techniques, in addition to covering the study gap of futures research techniques in forecasting exchange rates, errors due to quantitative methods have been minimized so that companies are prepared for the occurrence of various situations. In the final part of the article, the effect of currency fluctuations on the performance indicators of the tobacco company during the last three years is examined. The results of the study indicate that currency fluctuations have the first and greatest impact on the implementation of development projects and also sudden economic shocks are not immediately reflected in the performance of companies and due to the presence of shock absorbers such as inventory in Warehousing, borrowing purchases and long-term debt creation, over time, gradually affect and weaken the company's performance.

        The problem of identifying and anticipating potential customers to be addressed at direct marketing programs has been considered as one of the popular and most important marketers' issue. Marketers who use these approaches are threatened by the severe reaction of those consumers who consider the direct marketing as an attack to their private lives, so it may even be possible to boycott companies that use these methods. Neural networks are known as a powerful tool for prediction, but as previously mentioned, as with other prediction algorithms, they tend to deviate toward imbalanced data. In this research, in order to enhance the ability to identify and predict potential customers by multilayer perceptron networks, using Random under-over sampling methods, which has been used frequently in other articles, we attempted cluster customers and create different combinations of them, and then from the observed results, we finally introduced an innovative and highly efficient method for identifying and rating potential customers. The results indicate that, in addition to the undeniable power of multilayer neural networks in the field of identification and prediction, imbalanced data has greatly damaged the results. In this regard, creating an optimal combination of customer data and implementing the innovative algorithm of the present study significantly improves the results and the performance of artificial neural networks has yielded a reliable consequences.

        One of the key aspects in the financial markets and its development is fluctuation. Fluctuation plays a key role in option pricing, portfolio management and the market sentiment. In general, financial institutions are faced with four various kinds of risk, which are credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, and market risk. The most appropriate method to measure the market risk is by using the VaR (value at risk). Value at Risk is statistical technique used to measure and quantify the level of financial risk within the investment portfolio over a specific time frame. It is always expressed by the monetary amount that is at risk as well as the probability of loss. This research is to predict the VaR for a one-day period in six different industries in which three companies are monitored in each industry. The time periods of the study are 30-minute intervals between 91/11/1 to 92/4/1,&nbsp; in which the GARCH model is used for predicting the variance. The research then checks to see whether the data fits the normal or t-distributions models. Thus, six models are used for six different industries. All six chosen models are deemed proper to predict the coefficients, how fit the coefficients are, and Watson statistic camera. The estimation of the variance and the Var for all models is done at a %95 confidence interval. The research concludes that the companies involved in the basic metals group are more prone to risk and have higher VaR in comparison to other industries. Manuscript profile

        The pattern of arrangement of residential blocks regarding the quality of navigation for the residents is one of the most important components in designing residential environments. The reason of studying in-between space is the significance of its design in increasing the residents navigating quality. In some contemporary residential patterns, some of features of in-between spaces have been omitted or, if existing, don&rsquo;t have an appropriate spatial quality. Navigation in In- between space of the residential environment is of the great importance subject. Significant components are effective in enhancing the optimal quality of routing.Therefore, creating environmental backgrounds has a great significance for increasing the navigating quality in residential settings in-between spaces, since it causes the audiences route readability and as a result raises the spatial quality. This study showed that studying the factors effective on navigating quality from audiences' viewpoint and in the after residence stage may yield effective findings for promotion of planning and design of the residential blocks in-between spaces. After residence evaluation depends on the study of effective factors organization which is the accurate recognition of these factors and their effectiveness in navigating from the residents' viewpoint. In this paper, based on performed studies, the components effective on the audience-oriented navigation were identified and classified in three environmental, human and visual domains. This study evaluates the factors effective in designing in-between space and the relation between them regarding navigation. The history of the subject of the relation of inside and outside space has a close relation with the topics discussed in the domain of environmental psychology and behavioral sciences. The need to such debates in the housing ground and relating to what people want their houses was revealed after the failure of some residential projects constructed in 1950s and 1960s.Comparing the obtained parameters the relations between the components of visual perception may be studied regarding the study's objective. For more clarification of the problem, the objects of the study are mentioned as follows: 1- Finding the factors effective on navigation and environmental perception 2- Finding the relation between the components effective in navigation For finding the environmental-human and visual factors, at first field study of the residential complexes in in-between space was performed, then regarding the studied theoretical fundamentals, a table of these factors was prepared.At first, the mentioned components were scrutinized with the content analysis and then were assessed in three residential complexes with structured observation checklist and questionnaire with 90-person statistical population. The questionnaire was codified in three sections based on the components. Data analysis was performed with the aim of finding the significance and relation of the components with each other with SPSS Version 26 software and using Friedman test. The results of study show that from the residents' perception perspective, the balance between three environmental, visual and human components leads to creation of a more optimal space for navigation. These factors were categorized in three groups. It should be mentioned that the components extraction was performed from the research literature and based on the observational checklist and taking notes. Based on Friedman test, the components priority based on their influence rate according to the findings includes respectively visual component, human component and environmental componentAlso, regarding Freidman test, the environmental variable components in the order of significance includes: Form, stimulus of light, color, knot, sequence, spatial, road, contrast, edge, mark Ranking of human variables of components includes: social liveliness, readability, security, control and supervision, availability, pedestrian orientation Ranking of visual variable components includes environment, area, concentration and compression, centuriation, occlusion This study seeks to prove the balance among environmental, human and visual components and finally suggests the designers of this domain to extract a checklist of all effective items resulting from these three components in pre-residence design and their relation with each other. Also, the relation between these variables was extracted based on triple variables. The result of the study shows that the balance between three components may aid the audience in selecting their path. Also, the results of the study helps the designers for creating a framework based on effective factors to be utilized in pre-residence design due to lack of access to environmental user.

        Biophilic architecture, which is referred to as biophilic architecture, and the construction of interstitial space in residential complexes in Iran in the current era, is facing many challenges and what is being built;In order to benefit from the principles of biophilic architecture,which leads to the improvement of the interaction between humans and the environment,it is not considered.At the same time, observing the principles of biophilic architecture(partial interaction between humans and the environment) is one of the most obvious characteristics of improving the architecture of interstitial spaces in the external environments located between the blocks of residential complexes in Iran,which can bring peace of mind and subsequent psychological restoration of the residents. Interstitial space is a space that is constantly It is on the move and not necessarily a place in itself with a built-in boundary. Also,this space becomes a stable place in a geometry with complex inter-relationships, a place where the surrounding geometry inhales and exhales, and the architecture of this space absorbs everything it can use to build it. As the basis of spatial hierarchy, the interstitial space has had a special place in the structure of historical residential architecture in Iran. Nowadays, due to the destruction of the residential architecture structure, the position of the intermediate arena has also suffered from deficiencies. The lack of an intermediate arena has caused many psychological and social anomalies in the structure of today's residential architecture. Meanwhile, unfortunately, nowadays,in the construction of interstitial physical space in neighboring residential environments, we witness the forgetting of the principles and standards of biophilic architecture, which in turn could calm or restore the mentality and spirit of the residents. At the same time, biophilic architecture, which should be induced through creating the body of buildings in residential environments; Remaining unknown and continuous between the natural and building environments, and along with that the interaction between man and nature and the effect of nature on the human psyche, has been damaged and gradually goes into oblivion. Therefore, biophilic architecture can promote the relative understanding of the evolution of the human body and mind and its relationship with nature. However, paying attention to biophilic architecture in the design principles of the interstitial space in general can lead to the improvement of human life. Because the elements of nature, by being placed in the interspace outside the residential blocks, in addition to reducing stress and creating a positive mood in the users, they bring the elements in these spaces closer to each other and thus strengthen the bond between man and nature. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to investigate the interspace in the residential complex of Zeytoun Isfahan based on the approach of bio-oriented architecture. The question is, what is the relationship between the physical components (materials, geometry, height of neighboring buildings and dimensions) of the interspace of Zeytoun in Isfahan city residential complex with bio-oriented architecture from the residents' point of view? Analytical and using the method of logical reasoning along with the method of collecting information in the form of library and field studies with the tool of questionnaire and the use of correlation test came to the conclusion that the physical components of the Biophilic interspace in the residential complex of Zeytoun in the city of Isfahan, (materials, geometry,dimensions,the height of neighboring buildings) in addition to improving the climatic and environmental performance, it has improved the quality of life of the residents and their mental health due to the use of natural systems and processes, and there is a continuous relationship of mutual actions between the physical components of the interspace of the Zeytoun residential complex in the metropolis of Isfahan and Biophilic architecture lies in the direction of improving the relationship between man and the environment, the creation of space and its perception. Also, according to the audience's point of view, the results showed that there is a significant relationship between the physical components (materials, geometry, height of neighboring buildings and the dimensions(length and width)of the interspace with Biophilic architecture from the perspective of the residents in the Zeytoun residential complex with an average significance level of 98%. and the variables have been evaluated positively and in the same direction with each other.

The data collection tool included 3 researcher-made questionnaires. 1-Effective quadruple values questionnaire (religious, spiritual, moral, human) 2- Personal world view questionnaire in students &lsquo;learning process 3. Questionnaire for developing a perceived religious identity curriculum. To evaluate the reliability Cronbach's alpha was used. Cronbach's alpha of the questionnaires were 0.91 and 0.93 respectively and 0.94 calculated. Factor analysis and construct validity methods were used to evaluate the validity of the questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 18 software. The results showed that religious, spiritual and moral values affect the development of perceived religious identity-building curriculum, but the effect of human values on the development of perceived religious identity-building curriculum was not significant. Also, in the fitted corrective model, religious values have a direct effect on the religious identity-building program, both mediated and mediated by an individual worldview. Spiritual and moral values have only a direct effect on the program of perceived religious identity. Human values also indirectly affect the program of religious identity only through the mediation of individual worldview. Manuscript profile

        The theory of foreseeable breach of contract refers to a situation in which one of the parties, despite his observations and calculations, cannot reasonably wait for the other party to execute the contract. This theory is relevant in contracts that are subject to a certain period of time. In Iran's legal system, the theory of foreseeable breach of contract is not explicitly accepted, even in certain articles, it is practically not possible to propose such a theory. But since speed and security are one of the main elements in commercial contracts, the design of this theory in Iran's legal system allows the obligor not to wait for the obligee to fulfill his contractual obligations in case of excessive delay, and by planning this type of violation, he can have a suitable time to compensate for the lost time. Although there are obstacles for proposing this theory in every legal system, its acceptance can be much more practical. In the principles of jurisprudence, in a topic entitled extended obligation, it is mentioned to perform the duty within a certain period of time, and the basics of this obligation can be used in the theory of predictable violation. The most important question that we are trying to answer in this article is with what tool the theory of foreseeable violation can be justified in Iran's legal system. By providing this goal, we have progressed from the origin of this theory to its legal analysis. Manuscript profile

        Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of teacher psychological empowerment training program on Teacher Interaction, emotions and teachers academic optimism. Method: with a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control-group design and followed by two months, 60 teachers in the experimental groups (30 subjects in experimental group) and (30 subjects in the control group), before and after training, responded to the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI), the Teacher Emotion Inventory (TEI), the Teacher Academic Optimism Scale (TAOA). The experimental group received 10 sessions of teachers&rsquo; resilience training package (2 hour a session). Results: The results of simple mixed ANOVA indicated that in the short and long term, the psycho-educational package was effective in increasing the psychological capital, teacher positive emotion, teachers&rsquo; academic optimism, adaptive dimensions of teacher-student interpersonal relation model and job related positive emotions and in decreasing the teacher negative emotions, job related negative emotions and non-adaptive dimensions of teacher-student interpersonal relation model. Conclusion: In sum, the results of this study according to the theoretical and empirical background of the teacher resilience study area show that in order to achieve the goal of teachers&rsquo; psychological capital need to emphasize their psychological psychological empowerment. Teacher psychological empowerment as a comprehensive conceptual framework includes the fields such as relations, motivation and emotions. Therefore, the effort to shape the concept of teacher resilience is made by increasing psychosocial resources.

        The important mission of education is to help the all-round development of students intellectually, behaviorally and attitudinally. Academic optimism is considered one of the most important components of attitudinal growth and a complement to the intellectual and behavioral growth of students, which has attracted the attention of education specialists and researchers in this field. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying the effect of the flipped classroom teaching method on the components of academic optimism in mathematics. The present research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research includes all the students of the 6th grade of elementary school in Varzeghan city, firstly, 34 people were selected by the available sampling method, then two experimental groups (17 people) were randomly selected due to the homogeneity of the samples. and control (17 people) were replaced. To collect data, the Academic Optimism Questionnaire (AOQ) of Schennen Moran et al. (2013) was used with a reliability of 0.93 for the whole test. Research hypotheses were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance method and SPSS26 software. The findings showed that the flipped classroom teaching method significantly increases students' academic optimism in the components of student trust in the teacher (P&lt;0.001), academic emphasis (P=0.013) and school unity (P=0.015). As a result, the flipped classroom teaching method is considered one of the most effective methods of developing academic optimism, which is recommended to sixth grade teachers.&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Capital productivity concerns the measurement of management power in making optimal use of capital as one of the important and limited company resources. In companies with highly efficient capital productivity, stocks are expected to offer higher returns and the explanatory power of the models proposed to predict stock returns is assumed to increase. The purpose of this study was, thus, to examine the extent to which capital productivity might influence the explanatory power of stock market predictive models and to scrutinize this viable effect at various stages of corporate life cycle. The Operating Profit Ratio (ROIC) was used to operationalize Capital productivity, the Tripartite Factor Model (Fama &amp; Franch, 1993) and the Pentagonal Factor Model (Fama &amp; Franch, 2013) were employed to predict stock returns and corporate life cycle was categorized via the Dickinson Cash Flow (2011). The research sample comprised 110 companies with specific descriptive characteristics selected from among all those listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during a ten-year period from 2005 to 1394. The results of the hypothesis testing analyses demonstrated that capital productivity affects the relationship between market factor and risk-free growth at all stages of the life cycle, but size was found significantly correlated with risk merely at the maturity stage of the life cycle.

        Urban Transportation Planning (UTP) has been one of the most important decisions in urban planning and development procedures in recent years. Meanwhile, accurate trip forecasting between two given regions of the city could be considered as the key success factor of urban transportation planning. Due to the importance of the problem, different models have been developed in the field. The overall problem of trip forecasting and transportation planning could be complicated because of its nature that results from the complicated nature of human behavior. Due to the complexity of the problem, it is always hard to develop forecasting models with acceptable forecasting errors and also low computational expenses particularly in developing countries in which historical data are not fully available.&nbsp; In this paper, a three phase fuzzy model is proposed to forecast trips flow between two given regions of a metropolitan based on mapping demographical and social variables to total number of trips flow. The overall model is to explore the subjective pattern of transportation experts and transfer the subjective model to a mathematical framework. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Productivity forecasting is a key factor in strategy planning in an organization. Artificial neural networks method is one of the productivity estimating methods whose users must have enough experience and skill because of its adjustable parameters. Trial and Error is mostly used to find the proper levels of these parameters. This article presents a seven step pattern for selecting proper adjustable parameters for neural network, using Taguchi experiment design method to improve the efficiency of productivity forecasting. As a result, the optimum parameters levels that lead to the most desirable forecasting in neural network are as follows: the number of hidden layers: 2 layers, the number of neurons in each hidden layer: 7 neurons, learning rate: 0.9 and the number of neural network inputs:&nbsp; productivity indicators with more than 0.85 degree of correlation. Among the above mentioned factors, the number of hidden layers with 71.18% of contribution rate in experiment results is the most important factor in neural network design to forecast the productivity of Iranian food industry. Finally, the overall results of the study showed that using this pattern provides the possibility of choosing competitive strategies besides decreasing forecasting time and cost. Moreover, this pattern helps decision makers with the extent of the consideration that must be put into each adjustable parameter by determining the contribution rate of each parameter in the experiment results.

        The size and process of the stock price indices are among the most important factors affecting the decisions of the investors in the financial markets. In order to predict the market, different techniques have been used, the most common of which are regression methods and ARIMA models. However, these models have been unsuccessful in the practical prediction of some series. In the present research, in order to predict the total index of the stock, the Feed Forward Neural Network model with the law of back propagation was used in three networks with different input models, and the results of the model were compared to the result of multi &ndash; variable regression models and ARIMA models. The results indicated that the neural network method showed considerably fewer RMSE errors than RMSE errors in other methods, and that in Tehran stock market short &ndash; term prediction within a shorter interval is more suitable than long &ndash; term prediction within a longer interval.

        This study has been done to evaluate the fluctuations of water level in Urmia Lake and to provide a best model for prediction the water level fluctuations. Monthly water level data for the period (1345 - 1392) was used and homogeneity was assessed by Run Test. Then the stability of mean and variance of the data was tested in order to put down the non-stability by creation a rank in series. Trend of the monthly series was eliminated by making a difference and the time series of water level was evaluated by using Box- Jenkins model and the best model was fitted. Accuracy of the model was verified based on AIC, BIC and chart analysis of autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions and ARIMA = (0, 1, 4) (1, 1, 1)12 was selected as a suitable model. The selected model was fitted then the model was tested by Analysis of residuals and confirmed its authenticity. Finally, the monthly behavior of the series was predicted for 9 years later by using this model. Manuscript profile

        Temperature assessment and forecasting is one of the most practical estimates of climatic elements. Today, the agricultural and industrial sectors are highly dependent on the temperature conditions. Temperature is one of the most important climatic meters that is one of the main factors in the climate identity of each region. The purpose of this study is to make a model for predicting the average monthly seasonal temperature of selected stations in Lorestan province, including Al-Shatrami region. Identification and detection of vulnerabilities in the infrastructure of Aleshtar districts in the conditions of climate change. And due to the inadequacy of the 30-year time series of Al-Ashtarl, neighboring cities such as Khorramabad-Aleshtar-Borujerd synoptic stations have been used, because the artificial neural network method has a great ability to simulate and predict atmospheric elements. And the weather, especially the temperature. To model and predict the seasonal monthly temperature, the r programming tool software of the fOre gast package has been used. Two tests of estimator trend analysis have been used. The 30-year time series trend of these elements was examined during the basic statistical period (1989-2019). The climate cycle was reported and extracted under two scenarios: NNAR and forEgast. The artificial neural network is one of the most powerful models capable of receiving and displaying complex Data input and output is one of the most widely used neural network (NNA) models to determine the best network inputs.

        In this research, the annual rainfall changes of Ardabil City have been modeled and analyzed based on the downscaling of the output of some CMIP6 models under the greenhouse gas emission scenarios in the SDSM6.1 software. For this purpose, the daily precipitation of the Ardabil synoptic station from 1979 to 2014 was considered as observational data, and its changes were analyzed for the next decades until 2043. The downscaled results in the base period under CanESM5 and NorESM2-MM general circulation models showed relatively good performance in estimating the monthly precipitation of Ardabil station. The results showed that in March, April, and May, there is an underestimation, in July there is an overestimation and in the other months there is a relatively good performance with the observational data. The annual average precipitation of the future period based on the output of the CanESM5 model under the SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios was calculated as 245 and 243 mm respectively, which shows a decrease of about 38 and 40 mm compared to the average of the historical period. The results of the Ardabil rainfall simulation with the CanESM5 model showed that on a monthly scale, the rainfall in the next 20 years in April and May under the SSP1-2.6 scenario is between 14 and 15 mm and under the SSP5-8.5 scenario between 16 and 17 mm will decrease and in July to September and December, it will increase by at least 5 mm compared to the base period.

        Abstract The purpose of this paper is to apply the system dynamics approach to forecasting the price of gold in Iran, identify the factors affecting the price of gold and simulate the trend of the impact of monetary policy on the price of gold in the period 1405-2010. The simulation is performed with Wenzim software. In different scenarios, the present paper simulates the change in liquidity volume, consumer price index and bank interest rates on the gold market. The results show that the price of gold is not only affected by the global ounce price and the value of the dollar, but also the control of liquidity and curbing inflation will play a significant role in stabilizing the gold market. The results confirm that the volume of liquidity and the consumer price index have a direct impact and a significant role in increasing the price of gold. The findings also show that changes in bank interest rates have no effect on changes in gold prices. Manuscript profile

In this paper, Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity model (GARCH) and Autoregressive Moving Average model (ARMA) are implemented by using monthly data during 1990-2010. The results indicate that stock market doesn&rsquo;t have notable predictability in Iran and there is Cluster volatility for return of stock in most markets and almost, in none of these markets except Oman, explosive volatilities are observed. It is also indicated that the return for markets of Bahrain and Oman doesn&rsquo;t have stability in significant level of 5 percent and for Iran it doesn&rsquo;t have stability and durability in significant level of 1 percent. In addition, although the markets of these countries have high capacities for return of investment, but, in particular, the findings show a low correlation between these markets. Also, the results for the period in question explain that none of these markets has the ability of leadership among others. Manuscript profile

        It is clear that business cycles are inevitable in economy. On the other hand, the economists are always looking for how to form business cycles and so under the effect of economic policies, since the economic situation is depended to these policies. Therefore, the access to more precise business cycles forecasting methods would direct and manage the economic situation and policies powerfully. Hence, the main objective of this study is to construct a new model based on Markov-Switching Autoregressive (MS-AR) model to forecast the business cycles in Iran. In addition, the model constructed is compared to ARIMA to represent its power. GDP data seasonally covers the period 1989: I &ndash; 2009: IV collected from Central Bank of Iran. MS-AR and ARIMA models are applied to forecast the behavior of business cycles. By using MAPE, RMSE and Theil criteria (TIC), the results indicate that MS-AR model will work better than ARIMA to forecast GDP business cycles. Manuscript profile

        Prediction and analysis of stock market movements are an important topic for researchers, traders and have got an important role in today&rsquo;s economy. Variety in policies, such as government policies and economic policies affect the stock market and cause stock price changes. The predicting stock price movement on a daily basis due to the non-linear and chaotic stock price movements is a difficult task. There are several ways for predicting in stock market. Artificial intelligence techniques have been widely used to predict data with nonlinear and chaotic structure. One of these techniques is neural network. If neural network is trained correctly, then it has minimum error in predicting. In this research, we will train the multi layer perceptron neural network with 8 meta heuristics algorithms and we predict Tehran Exchange Dividend Price Index (TEDPIX). The Results show that grey wolf optimization has the minimum error in training of neural network. Manuscript profile

        Forecasting has always been recognized as an important issue in financial markets and is considered a unique factor in estimating future unknown values. The aim of this research is to identify and forecast the conditions of the Tehran Stock Exchange(TSE) and the factors affecting them, focusing on the correlation between market prosperity and value at risk. To achieve this, in the first step of this study, the time series of the value at risk index on the capital market TSE was estimated using daily data and the first-order GARCH method from spring 2010 to June 2023. Then, the factors influencing prosperity in TSE were evaluated based on seasonal data from spring 2010 to June 2023 using the probit regression approach. In addition, value at risk index was calculated seasonally and the relationship between the probability of market prosperity and the value at risk index was examined using correlation coefficients.The research results show that the probability of market prosperity in the Iranian capital market has a significant negative relationship with the bank interest rate, liquidity growth and the occurrence of sanctions. There is also a significant positive relationship with the inflation rate and the growth of the exchange rate. Furthermore, the correlation analysis shows that market prosperity is directly related to equity value at risk.

        The purpose of this paper's prediction of survival or death within 30 days is based on a cerebral hemorrhage. Timely and correct diagnosis and treatment of cerebral hemorrhage are essential. If the patient's death is predicted during these thirty days, the treating physician should use intensive care and more treatment for the patient. Cerebral hemorrhages require immediate treatment and rapid and accurate diagnosis. In this article, using the volume of cerebral hemorrhage and the patient's age and using the neural network of support vector machine (SVM), it is predicted what percentage of people with cerebral hemorrhage survive and what percentage die. Parameters of cerebral hemorrhage volume and, age of patients, neural network input are considered. The network's output is the survival or death of patients with cerebral hemorrhage over the next thirty days. The data we used included the bleeding volume and age of 66 patients with lobar hemorrhage, 76 patients with deep bleeding, nine patients with Pontine hemorrhage and 11 patients with cerebellar hemorrhage. All bleeding models are considered as input to the support vector machine neural network. The overall accuracy of the designed support vector machine neural network is 93%. Regardless of the type of cerebral hemorrhage, the survival or death of people with cerebral hemorrhage within 30 days is predicted. Manuscript profile

        Electrical load forecasting is the prediction of future demands based on various data and factors containing different consumptions on weekdays, electricity prices and weather conditions that are different for societies and places. Generally, medium-term electrical load forecasting is often used for the operation of thermal and hydropower plants, optimal time planning for maintenance of power plants and the power grids. However, long-term electrical load forecasting is used to manage on-time future demands and generation, transmission and distribution expansion planning. In this paper, a hybrid long-term load forecasting approach using wavelet transform and an outlier robust extreme learning machine is proposed. Hourly load and temperature data were extracted from the GEFCOM 2014 database and divided into two classes of training and test. The one-level wavelet transform is used to decompose data to extract properties and reduce the dimensions of the data matrix. Decomposed low-frequency component (approximations) and high-frequency component values (details) from wavelet analysis are entered into the model for training and forecasting. For comparison accuracy of the proposed method, wavelet transform is applied to the data for the other three extreme learning machines. Also data without wavelet transform entered into four other forecasting models and the load forecasting results are compared with the proposed method. The results of the above mentioned evaluation show that electrical load forecasting by using wavelet transform and outlier robust extreme learning machine improves forecasting accuracy and the MAPE reduces to 3.0966. The overall calculated error by the proposed method was the best result obtained between the three several models of extreme learning machines and without preprocessing model. The MAPE is 0.4208 less than the ELM, 0.944 less than the RELM, and 0.1353 less than the WRELM model, respectively. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, saving time and economy of each country requires proper planning, decision making, and rational forecasts in different areas. One of the most well-known areas that has received a lot of attention is electricity forecasting. The features of the electricity which makes it distinguished from other commodities are the impossibility of storing it and the existence of seasonality and nonlinear and ambiguity pattern in electricity data set. These features of the electricity makes it more difficult to forecast using traditional methods. Therefore, in this paper, a parallel optimal hybrid model using seasonal linear and nonlinear methods is proposed to forecast the electricity load forecasting. The main idea of this model is the use of the advantages of individual models in the modeling of complex systems in a structure, simultaneously. Experimental results indicate that in this method due to the use of a direct weighting method, the computational cost of modeling it is significantly lower than other parallel hybrid methods.

        Espidan ironstone industries is one of the most consumed power industries in the electricity supply chain of Isfahan province as the second industrial hub of the country and one of the main suppliers of raw materials in the supply chain of the country's steel industry. Planning in a large-scale electricity supply chain, in a space full of uncertainty, is begin with electricity demand forecasting.In this paper, a hybrid long-term demand forecasting method in the electricity supply chain of Isfahan's ironstone industries using a combined data mining method including wavelet transform,deep learning and intensive learning machine is proposed. The used data in this study is according to the recorded information from the electrical energy demand signal of Espidan ironstone industries in a period of 40 months in the form of 24-hours. The data in a part of the study period due to the lack of production of this industry in some hours are interrupted. So that only 40% of the data had a value and the remaining, 60% were zero. This subject led to information deficiencies and increases the forecasting error up to 40% in the first step of the proposed algorithm. By completing the first step of the proposed model with intense learning machine (ELM) the forecasting error is reduced and it was possible to create an improved forecasting model for supervised training. Finally, simulation results are compared with other available approaches such as support vector machine and decision tree. The results show the improvement and reduction of error and a significant increase in the accuracy of the proposed method in long-term demand forecasting in the electricity supply chain of Espidan ironstone industries.

        Since the electricity consumption&rsquo;s prediction is one of the most important aspects of energy manage&shy;ment in each country, various methods based on artificial intelligence have been proposed to manage it. One of these methods is Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). To improve the performance of ANNs, an efficient algorithm is necessary to train it. Back Propagation (BP) algorithm is the most common algorithm employed in training ANNs, which is based on gradient descent. Since BP may fall in local optima, it cannot provide a good solution in some problems. To overcome this shortcoming, optimiz&shy;ation algorithms like meta-heuristic algorithms can be applied to train ANNs. In this study, a new meta-heuristic algorithm called Red Kite Optimization Algorithm (ROA) is introduced, which is inspired by the social life of red kites in nature. The ROA has several advantages such as simplicity in structure and implementation, having few parameters and good convergence rate. The perfprmance of ROA is compared with some recent metaheuristic algorithms on benchmark functions of CEC2018. Also, it is employed to train Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) for the electricity consumption prediction at peak load times in Iran. The results show the good performance of proposed algorithm compared with competitor algorithms in terms of solution accuracy and convergence speed. Manuscript profile

        Distributed processing environments, such as grids, are one of the most important platforms for meeting the user's processing needs. These environments have the potential to meet the needs of users, but they also have their own problems, including the failure of the jobs. Several attempts have been made to overcome this problem, which in general can be divided into two categories of resource side methods and job side methods. All these methods need some kind of prediction of the resources or jobs status in order to pursue a proactive approach to failures. However, due to the dynamics of these environments, the developed models quickly lose their quality and thus can not effectively help with the methods mentioned. In this paper, first, by identifying the reasons for reducing the quality of predictors in the grid environment, a solution has been proposed to deal with it, and then the proposed solution has been applied in the context of job failures. The results of experiments on the two experimental environments of AuverGrid and Grid5000 showed that the proposed method would increase the quality by 0.02 and 0.06 respectively in these two environments.

        In this paper, the method of predicting the treatability of patients suffering from hyperactivity with neurofeedback training with the help of extracting the frequency band of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and using the brain-functional communication evaluation criterion is done to determine the person's treatability before starting the neurofeedback treatment. This algorithm consists of six steps: In the first step, a data set of EEG signal recording during neurofeedback stimulation from 60 students in the age group of 7 to 14 years (regardless of gender) with hyperactivity in two treatable and non-treatable classes was obtained from the Mendelian database. In the second step, primary filtering has been done to reduce the noise of the data set using a pre-processing block. In the third step, the frequency distribution of the alpha and beta bands is extracted from the noise reduction signals. In this type of data, the difference in the EEG components of each group can be expressed by measuring brain-functional communication and using the phase lock index (PLI), which is used to detect the existence of a connection between the brain lobes involved once using the probability value index. In the t-test statistical test and to increase the accu&shy;ra&shy;c&shy;y, the genetic algorithm was used to identify the effective electrodes in the treatment. So, the fourth step is to extract the feature, which is to measure the amount of brain communication in the brain signal recording electrodes. In the fifth step, it is to reduce the feature space, the results show show that the lobes involved during neurofeedback stimulation are the frontal and central lobes, and among the 32 EEG recording channels, only the data of 6 channels C3, FZ, F4, CZ, C4, and F3 show a significant difference in the amount of brain communication during stimulation. and finally, in the sixth step, by using different classifications, the output of the combination of classifications was the label of one of two classes, treatable or non-treatable. In this proposed method, the correctness cri&shy;te&shy;rion is used to express the research result, and finally the percentage of correctness obtained is 90.6%. Manuscript profile

        Voltage stability is an important problem in power system networks. In this paper, in terms of static voltage stability, and application of Neural Networks (NN) and Supported Vector Machine (SVM) for estimating of voltage stability margin (VSM) and predicting of voltage collapse has been investigated. This paper considers voltage stability in power system in two parts. The first part calculates static voltage stability margin by Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN). The advantage of the used method is high accuracy in online detecting the VSM. Whereas the second one, voltage collapse analysis of power system is performed by Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) and SVM. The obtained results in this paper indicate, that time and number of training samples of SVM, are less than NN. In this paper, a new model of training samples for detection system, using the normal distribution load curve at each load feeder, has been used. Voltage stability analysis is estimated by well-know L and VSM indexes. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed methods, IEEE 14 bus grid and the actual network of Yazd Province are used.

        Estimation of daily load in distribution companies which is performed to present the results to the DMS, is necessary. Daily load forecasting of power systems has traditionally been considered. Because load patterns are influenced by several factors such as climate, economy and society, it is difficult to predict the load exactly. That's why in recent years the use of intelligent algorithms to predict it, is growing. In this project, the short-term load forecasting is performed in a hybrid approach. Due to the different behavior in different days, various methods have been used to predict the load. With studying different methods of load prediction, finally, finally exponential smoothing algorithm was used to predict the exact load in the weekdays. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, a new prognostic index to detect the severity of asthma by processing capnogram signals is presented. Previous studies have shown significant correlation between the capnogram and asthmatic patient. However, most of them used conventional time-domain methods and based on assumption that the capnogram is a stationary signal. In this study, by using linear predictive coding (LPC) coefficients and autoregressive (AR) modelling (Burg method), the capnogram signals are processed. Then, a number of six features including &alpha;1, and &alpha;4 from LPC and power spectral density (PSD) parameters through AR modelling are extracted. After that, by means of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the effectiveness of the extracted features to differentiate between asthmatic and nonasthmatic conditions is justified. Finally, selected features are used in a Gaussian radial basis function (GRBF) network. The output of this network is an integer prognostic index ranging from 1 to 10 (depends on the severity of asthma) with an average good detection rate of 90.15% and an error rate of 9.85%. In the other word, based on the results, sensitivity and specificity of this algorithm are 93.54% and 98.29%, respectively. This developed algorithm is purposed to provide a fast and low-cost diagnostic system to help healthcare professional involved in respiratory care as it would be possible to monitor severity of asthma automatically and instantaneously.

        This paper aims at applying H.264 in medical video compression applications and improving the H.264 Compression performance with better perceptual quality and low coding complexity. In order to achieve higher compression of medical video, while maintaining high image quality in the region of interest, with low coding complexity, here we propose a new model using H.264/AVC that uses lossless compression in the region of interest, and very high rate, lossy compression in other regions. This paper proposes a new method to achieve fast intra and inter prediction mode decision that is based on coarse macroblocks for intra and inter prediction mode decision of the background region and finer macroblocks for region of interest. Also the macroblocks of the background region are encoded with the maximum quantization parameter allowed by H.264/AVC in order to maximize the number of null coefficients. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a higher compression rate on medical videos with a higher quality of region of interest with low coding complexity when compared to our previous algorithm and other standard algorithms reported in the literature.

        The aim of this study is to provide a model for predicting University of Applied Science &amp; Technology students' scores in centralized exams in the coming semesters of the university. For this purpose, the status of the 19/207 student/ course grades has been studied in 8 courses in 6 provinces and 28 educational centers, that have been held in an associate's and bachelor's degree level and concurrently across the country in the second semester of 1397-98 And by using the feature selection method, the most effective ones were selected. To clarify the relationships between the selected features and the decision tree model with C5.0 algorithm using SPSS Modeler software, with 10 effective indicators, a model for predicting students' scores in the next semester is presented in the courses approved for the centralized exam. This predictive model can be effective in making the learning process more efficient in the academic system. The results of these models include suggestions for modifying the test process, finding students and centers, and out-of-pattern conditions for further monitoring and identifying centers whose students' average GPAs were high but poor on the centralized test.

        Since water and wastewater companies are one of the significant energy consumers in urban industries, there is a substantial share to increase electricity demand and as a result, increasing the power plants load. The purpose of this study is to present a new evaluation approach for using solar energy in the water and wastewater industry. Therefore, while consideration of the energy consumption in the six regions of Tehran Water and Wastewater Company, requirements for the installation and operation of photovoltaic systems in this company has been investigated. In the present study, the objective functions are energy consumption costs and greenhouse gas emissions; Also, solar energy potential, increasing population rate and water consumption are the most important independent variables and forecasted electricity consumption, carbon tax, and electricity sales price are also dependent variables. The results of this study, which can be based on using the regression model, show that the increase in electricity consumption and costs are 1.5 and 3 times in this period, respectively. To calculate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, the three scenarios are implemented and compared with the replacement of 5, 20, and 30% of the company required electricity by photovoltaic systems. The reduction in CO2 emissions due to the production of 30% of electricity consumption with solar energy, amounted to 26,712 thousand tons. On the other hand, taxing more than $ 10 per ton of CO2 emissions changes the consumption pattern and reduces the cost of electricity consumption in this industry by $ 5,987,086. Manuscript profile

        From demand perspective, water is an essential and irreplaceable commodity in the household basket and production intermediate demand in the economic sectors. In economics, the price of a commodity depends on the final demand for it but this issue is not the same for water due to its low price. All the economic sectors are dependent on water and no sector can operate and offer services without it. Water is in close contact with environment. The economy based on recirculating of water and use of sewage effluent in the manufacturing sector leads to decrease in usage of underground water. This paper uses the statistics of water accounting and based on the input-output tables, calculates the incremental coefficient of sewage effluent, surface water, underground water, Water abstraction from the sea, and usage of water in industrial units in different sectors of economy and predicts the amount of water consumption based on the national economic growth and population growth for the year 1410.

        Abstract- Water discharge is a term in the water industry that refers to the amount of water that passes through a certain point per unit of time. Discharge rate is the amount of water that passes through a specific point such as a river,, water channel, dam valve, pipe or any other structure such as a faucet cartridge in a unit of time. In the metric system, water discharge rate is expressed in terms of cubic meters per second, cubic meters per hour, or liters per second. The unit of cubic meters per second is used for large flows such as rivers and large canals, and the unit of liters per second is used for the flow of water in wells and water that enters leaks. Measuring the discharge of the river has many effects on people's lives. Knowing the amount of water entering the areas of a river's catchment area is very important in agriculture, potential risks to human and animal life, industries, etc. Therefore, predicting river discharge can lead to effective management and prevent serious damage in the mentioned areas. According to the mentioned cases, the purpose of the presented paper is to predict the river discharge using deep learning techniques. In order to do this, the discharge of the Zayandeh Rood River at Qala Shahrokh station has been investigated and predicted using two techniques - ANFIS and LSTM. The simulation results show 93% to 94% accuracy in predicting the discharge of the studied river. Manuscript profile

        Understanding how consumers make decisions is one of the important things in customer behavior that is addressed by neuromarketing. The purpose of this article is to present a new solution in neuromarketing by receiving brain signals and extracting and selecting important features and classification to increase the prediction of product selection by customers. In this article, brain signals from twenty-five participants who have seen the products have been received and characterized by the high-order spectrum method. In order to select the best features, in this article, the swarm algorithm of salp chaos has been presented, which can identify the effective features with high search power, and for the final prediction, different classifications have been used in the form of multiple learning. In the proposed model, the high-order spectra method was applied in extracting the phase information of the electroencephalogram signal in order to investigate the relationship between liking and disliking the product, which included more than seven hundred features. Then feature selection was used with the improved Salp swarm algorithm with logistic chaos mapping and the features were reduced from 742 to 198 features. The results showed that the proposed model was able to have an average accuracy of 75.99% in detecting the choice of users in all products, which shows a 3.75% improvement in the results compared to similar researches.

        In this field, flood one of the most dangers disasters for people of many countries face it and is one of the most destroying disasters among 15 known natural climatology all over the world. For example, about 196 million people in over 90 countries are exposed to danger of flood water.The increase in the population and the shortage of agricultural lands led to human population movement to the flood water plains and this intensifies the danger of flood water and its effects. But nowadays, considering the destroying effects of flood water on the human societies, structural methods of protection against flood water such as flood water bands and other methods of controlling and directing flood water, can be efficient only when the design capacity of these structures is high. But when these structures break, always a remaining risk exists. In most cases, such structures may be improper or their execution may be impossible because of environmental reasons and therefore non-structural methods are needed. The flood water warning for directing of the remaining risk is necessary and it is one of the most efficient methods of non-structural methods for flood water management. Manuscript profile

        Most cities of (our) country have been changed due to population increase in recent decades, and this reason has increased the importance of paying attention to urban and home planning. Thus home standard indicators are among the most key and important tools in home planning and with their study it is possible to define the effective parameters in home field and facilitating its planning and decision making. Quantitative indicators are family density, number of homes, family growth rate, density index of person per home, room average per home, room average per each family, individual average per each room. Research Qualitative indicators are as follows: forms of home occupation, types of building materials, facilities, equipment and quality of homes. Home situation is determined by studying the qualitative and quantitative indicators of home in Rasht. Based on findings of research during 1345-85 qualitative and quantitative indicators of home have been improved. In spite of all internal and external constructions in city, there are still 8331 homeless families based on comprehensive results of General Census of Population and Housing of Rasht city in 1385. According to population estimations, resident families in Rasht will reach 225244 up until year 1400 and family aspect decrease to 3.36. Assuming that the favorite density is 1.1 families per each home, then needed homes for satisfying population demands will be 191457 units. At the end, according to existing potential in urban suburb of Rasht (ruined places) it is clear that using maximum of these places with a proper progressive pattern, part of future needs inside the city will be satisfied.

        Investment decisions require corporate executives to anticipate the future performance of the company in the form of a capital increase justification plan.. Although these predictions are an important factor in the success of an investment, they are not directly observable by external stakeholders. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of management forecasts of revenue and operating profit of the company in the explanatory reports of capital increase of companies. In this regard, the accuracy of capital increase forecast with the variables of company size, return on assets, financial leverage, property rights, floating stocks and capital increase ratio has been examined. To review the research, a sample consisting of 184 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period 2007 to 2020 was selected and the data were analyzed using regression. The results show that there is a significant direct relationship between firm size variable and book value of owners' rights inversely related to operating profit, but there is a significant relationship with independent research variables including firm size, return on assets, leverage. Financial, book value of equity and floating stocks were not observed with the dependent variable of operating income. Manuscript profile

        The industrial sector and its growth is one of the most important performance indicators of the economy at the macro level and achieving a higher growth rate in this sector is one of the important goals of any economic system. Therefore, it is important to study the factors that affect the development of the industrial sector and improve the predictability of this sector. A review of the literature on the development of industry in the economy shows that one of the most important factors affecting its development is the stability of macroeconomics in both economic and political sectors, so that economists today have accepted that economic and political stability is a necessary condition for growth. It is high and continuous in the industry sector of the economy. In this regard, in the present study, the role of political and economic uncertainties on improving the predictability of industrial sector activities in Iran during the period 1991 to 1399 has been investigated. GMM generalized torque method was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that economic and political uncertainties have had negative and significant effects on the development of the industrial sector in Iran. It was also observed that considering political and economic uncertainties can improve the predictability of industrial sector activities. Accordingly, it is concluded that macroeconomic and policy policies in the country should be implemented a way that does not harm economic stability and thus the development of the industrial in the country.

        The purpose of this article was to predict the price of electricity in the cash and cash markets and to design the optimal model of electricity sales in the aforementioned markets with the Copula function approach. For this purpose, daily information was used in the period of 1396-1401. In order to forecast, time series models and OLS, GARCH and Copula approaches were used. The results showed that trigonometric functions can well explain the behavior of electricity prices, which is caused by the seasonal behavior of electricity prices during one-year periods. In the random part, the estimated values show that the random component has an average of almost zero and the speed of returning to the average in prices is high. The average of the shocks, their negativity and variance are very small. The small average values of the shocks actually show that the shocks that occurred in the price of the electricity market in Iran are very insignificant and more importantly, these shocks were more of the negative type. Regarding the optimal strategy when entering into futures transactions, our advice to players is to use the Copula-Garch method to calculate the optimal ratios for risk hedging, for two reasons. The need for risk hedging is less and as a result the transaction cost is lower, secondly, due to the existing restrictions and especially the low liquidity in energy exchange transactions, it is practically possible to cover more risk than the cash position Manuscript profile

        Extended Abstract Throughout history, predicting price in financial markets has always been of high interest to financial activists and analysts. Recently, various methods have been proposed and adopted to predict the dynamism of financial markets using time series of records of prices. However, high-precision predication of financial prices is still a deemed long-term challenge that constantly call for state-of-the-art approaches. Purpose Thus, the purpose of the current study was to examine the efficacy of optimal stopping, also known as early stopping and use its connection with branching processes to predict the optimal buying and selling prices in several financial markets. gold ounce market and S&P 500 index have been predicted in short term and long-term frameworks on the basis of fixed horizon. And for each. frame work, different time frames have been selected. Closing price data from 1995 to 2022 have been used for every time frame. Methodology Advanced methods for optimal stopping include approximating the value function and then using that approximation in a policy. Although such policies can work very well, they are generally not guaranteed to be interpretable (Siokan and Mišić 2020). On the other hand, some researchers have proposed that the optimal stop models are too complicated to solve well and the strategies of buying at a low price and selling at a high price are not very practical in this theory (Liu and Mo 2022). According to the issues raised, the researcher intends to use the optimal stop theory and its connection with branch processes to implement and examine this theory in a number of prominent international financial markets. In this research, we are going to use the optimal stop statistical theory to predict the time of buying and selling in these markets in an optimal way. Finding The optimal stopping algorithm seeks to determine the maximum value from a set of random variables that are exhibited in the order they are generated. Each variable should either be selected when exhibited or be skipped in favor of the next variable, and if all the variables till the nth variable are skipped, this variable is selected automatically. It should be borne in mind that the theory of optimal stopping first examines the previous data and finds out whether there is a divergence, according to which it determines which market cannot be predicted based on this theory. In general, these random variables are considered as independent and co-distributed. Yet, due to the complexity of this theory, even in this case, solving problems directly proves to be very difficult, and hence the correlation between this theory and branch processes are employed to simplify solution. The steps of this process are as follows: Step 1 The analyst finds the planning horizon (20 - horizon in the present paper) Step 2 Determine the statistical distribution of values using statistical tests, including the goodness of fit, chi-square, Chebyshev's inequality, and Q-Qplot (Moud et al. 1973) Step 3 Transforming it to a normal distribution using Box-Cox Transformations (Cox-Box 1964), and converting to the standard normal distribution (minus mean value divided by standard deviation) (Moud et al. 1973) Step 4 Using inverse distribution function (using probability integral transform theorem) (Moud et al. 1973) and transforming it to considered distribution in branching process and determining convergency or divergence of data (Ross 1983; Shishebor et al. 2004) Step 5 Predicting the best point for optimal buy or sell at a determined horizon (Assaf et al. 2000) Step 6 Reversing all transforms and predicting real values (Assaf et al. 2000) Conclusion The results indicate that by optimal stopping for short term framework, S&P 500 index indicates %67 success and gold ounce shows %53 success in the prediction of prices. In long term framework, S&P 500 index's success equals to %68 and gold ounce equals to %85 in prediction of prices. The obtained results show that the optimal stop theory has performed better in predicting the gold price in the long-term time frame and the S&P 500 in the short-term time frame. The S&P 500 market and the gold market have obtained the most predictability based on the optimal stop theory. This can be confirmed by market traders because the S&P 500 and gold market are interesting markets from a technical and trading point of view. The number of transactions and high liquidity and the difference in spread and commission in these two markets compared to other markets can be indicative of this. Also, the high volatility in the two mentioned markets due to the uncertainty regarding the continuation of prices and key economic indicators presents countless opportunities to traders. According to the obtained results, the optimal stopping can be used as a trading and analytical indicator. Also, the characteristic of optimal stopping is that based on historical data, it shows the prediction as the optimal point (buying and selling price) in the future. Due to the fact that examining the financial markets both from the study and analytical point of view and from the trading point of view by using a variety of forecasting patterns and indicators requires understanding the possibilities of market behavior, choosing a time frame and having a strategy.

        This research studies the effect of Corporate Governance on quality of financial reports of admitted companies in Tehran Stock Exchange in a 7-year period from 2006 to 2012. It is expected that establishment of appropriate Corporate Governance would prevent decrease in quality of financial reports along with making financial reporting process more controllable. In the present research we have used preciseness of prediction of future operational cash currents via operational profit elements as a measurement index from evaluation of financial reporting quality and also relation of off-duty members of board of directors, organizational investors owned share, power concentration, board of directors size, ownership structure, type of ownership, free floating share percentage, auditing quality, internal auditing, financial reporting quality and auditing period were used as Corporate Governance. A total number of 100 companies were selected as sample companies and using comparison test of average of the two societies we would analyze the results. The results achieved from the research indicated that ability index of Corporate Governance which consists of all structural specifications studied in this research is not effective on the quality of financial reporting of the companies admitted in Tehran Stock Exchange. Also in studying the effect of Corporate Governance individually it was observed that only quality of auditing reporting would affect the quality of financial reporting of the companies.

        Individual or collective worldview includes individual or a group attitudes about the universe, the creator of the universe and mankind. The significance of the worldview comes from the fact that the actions of human beings are based on their worldview. In the book Maqalat-e Shams-e Tabrizi (Discourse of Shams-e Tabrizi), as the remnants of Shams-e Tabrizi, there are many points and issues that help us to know his worldview. The purpose of this article is to explain Shams&rsquo; view about humanity as one of the foundations of his worldview. In order to obtain a precise result, all the parts of Maqalat have been examined, and all arguments have been based on his words in the book. The mystics focus on man in three areas of "man and self, man and God, and man and his fellow men", so this research includes the important words of Shams in the three above-mentioned fields. In this article, the prominent position of man in the thoughts of Shams has been shown, the position which is based on his view about &lsquo;unity of Being&rsquo;. Also, his serious and responsible attention to all human beings (and not just the perfect man) has been considered. Manuscript profile

        The intellectual system of any text can be described by analyzing its conceptual metaphors. The aim of the present study is to find the structures derived from the conceptual metaphors of Lam&rsquo;at (Divine Flashes), written by Fakhr al-Dīn Ibrahīm Irāqī. These structures represent the intellectual system of Lam&rsquo;at. To this end, first, the conceptual metaphors of the text are identified by careful examination of its language. Next, the structure derived from the conceptual metaphors of the text, which functions as a mirror reflecting its worldview, is described by analyzing the metaphors and finding the links among them. The four main pillars of Lam&rsquo;at and Fakhr al-Dīn Ibrahīm Irāqī's thought are these conceptual metaphors: &lsquo;God is love&rsquo;, &lsquo;love is the king&rsquo;, &lsquo;love is the Sun&rsquo; and &lsquo;love is a mirror&rsquo;. In addition to the links among these four metaphors, the conceptual metaphor &lsquo;love is human&rsquo; plays a key role in linking the four conceptual metaphors to each other and shows the intellectual level of Lam&rsquo;at. There are other conceptual metaphors in Lam&rsquo;at, each of which describes the worldview of its author, but the abovementioned five metaphors are more pivotal. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

So, based on Halliday&rsquo;s theory of systemic functional grammar, it is analyzed and categorized the couplets of Masnavi Mulavi which refer, implicitly or explicitly, to Quranic verses and Hadiths. The ideological contents of the couplets show that according to this mystical text, God&rsquo;s will rules in all things. The core and the semantic center of processes used in the verses of Quran and Hadiths are &ldquo;relational process&rdquo;. On the other hand, the Verses and Hadiths including one distinct process can refer to several processes, or vice versa, several processes can be reduced to one.

        he aim of the present study was to investigate the moderating effect of dispositional optimism in the relationship between cognitive exhaustion and solving cognitive problems. Three hundred university students completed the Life Orientation Test- Revised (LOT-R, Schier, Carver &amp; Bridges, 1994). Forty students whose scores on the dispositional optimism were two standard deviations above or below the mean score were selected and randomly assigned into four groups each including ten participants. In the first phase of the experiment, experimental and control groups confronted with uncontrollable and controllable discriminative tasks, respectively. In the second phase of the experiment, all participants in the problem solving situation, replied to the anagram task. The data were analyzed using the two-way between subjects analysis of variance. The results indicated that there was a significant main effect of group and dispositional optimism but there was no significant interaction between group and dispositional optimism. Therefore, the relationship between cognitive exhaustion and solving cognitive problems was not moderated by dispositional optimism. These findings suggested the role of cognitive exhaustion variability and dispositional optimism in predicting problem solving and that the causal relation between cognitive exhaustion and problem solving is not a function of dispositional optimism variation.

        &nbsp;This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the choice theory and optimism training on the sense of coherence among students. The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group and follow-up for two months. 120 female students were selected by convenience sampling method and responded to Sense of Coherence Scale (Antonovsky, 1987). Then 60 students with the lowest scores of the sense of coherence were randomly assigned to 3 groups including 2 experimental groups and one control group. The students of experimental groups participated in choice theory and optimism courses in 8 sessions. All the 3 groups were evaluated by post-test at the end of the courses and after 2 months in follow-up. The results showed that both choice theory and optimism training significantly increased sense of coherence among students, but choice theory training had more effectiveness. According to the findings of this study and the importance of the sense of coherence, both choice theory and optimism courses can be useful methods to educate students, but choice theory training is recommended as a more effective method.

        Taking into account the ambiguities and limitations of prevailing statistical models, such as losing data related to complicated and nonlinear interactions between psychological constructs and some of the assumptions like homogeneity of variances and normal distribution, the present research investigated the capability of Artificial Neural Networks Model for con ducting predictive studies. A sample of 456 male senior high school students responded to the California Personality Inventory (CPI; Gaff, 1975) and Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS; Sinha &amp; Singh, 1993), and were categorized into five levels of adjustment (from maladjusted to completely adjusted). Factor analysis of various combinations of personality traits suggested that some of the networks could not predict adjustment due to non conformity between the number of variables and network architectures. However, a revision of the architectures and repetition of new networks significantly increased the proportion of correct predictions (the proportion of participants categorized into the indicated levels of adjustment based on AISS). The most appropriate network for predicting adjustment included a combination of the cognitive variables of flexibility, femininity, communality and tolerance.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of academic optimism in the relationship between mindfulness and counterproductive academic behavior. The research method was correlational and participants were (143 male and 160 fe- male) secondary school students from Marvdasht city which selected via random multistage cluster sampling method. To examine research variables, all participants completed Mindfulness Scale (Droutman, Golub, Oganesyan, &amp; Read, 2018), Academic Optimism Questionnaire (Tschannen-Moran, Bankole, Mitchell, &amp; Moore ,2013) and Counterproductive Student Behavior Scale (Rimkus, 2012). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the direct effect of mindfulness on counterproductive academic behavior was not significant; but the direct effect of mindfulness on academic optimism and the direct effect of academic optimism on counterproductive academic behavior were significant; also, the effect of mindfulness on counterproductive academic behavior was mediated significantly by academic optimism. In general, the findings showed that the role of mindfulness and academic optimism in explaining counterproductive academic behavior. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that in order to reduce students&rsquo; counterproductive academic behavior, their academic awareness and optimism should be considered.

        In this study, the precipitation forecasts by WRF model for daily pervasive heavy rains in Qazvin province was evaluated. For this purpose, 30 cases of the heavy and pervasive rains in Qazvin province during (2002-2011) with two different configurations (KFMYJ, GDMYJ) schemes by the WRF model at intervals of 24, 48 and 72 hours, have been simulated. Because of various heights and different climates of Qazvin and considering average rainfall, Qazvin was divided into five precipitation regions containing plain, plain margins, submontane, and mountains of Northeast and Southwest. Then with the two methods, point and areal, simulated rainfall and the corresponding observed values were evaluated. According to evaluated results, for GDMYJ configuration, root mean square error and bias multiple, with respective values of about 8.7 and 1.7 for 24-hour rainfall simulation are better than 48 and 72 hours. Also correlation coefficient between observations and model simulations of precipitation in the submontane region in comparison with other regions has slightly higher accuracy of approximately 0.5. In general, the fraction of systematic error to total error is very low and it is more due to random errors. Considering the rainfall threshold &ge;10 mm and the 2&times;2 contingency tables for the occurrence or absence of precipitation, skill scores were calculated for the model in Qazvin region. The results showed that the model skill in predicting precipitation in 24, 48 and 72 hours on the threshold has acceptable accuracy and on average about 71% of cases were correctly predicted.

        Field and Aims: Today, businessmen in their international exchanges often use the contract of sale, which is sometimes breach by one of the parties, And inevitably, to compensate for the damage, compensation methods should be used in different systems of the world. In this regard, compensation for contractual damages has been fully accepted in most legal systems and international documents, which include the principles of European contracts and the principles of international commercial contracts, as well as the Convention on the International Sale of Goods But in Iran, internal legal rules are still used when necessary which has caused legal challenges in this regard.Method: The present research was carried out with a descriptive analytical method.Finding and Conclusion: The findings of the present research showed that the principles of international documents that are important in the enactment of laws and principles governing contracts in terms of anticipating violations and termination and finally compensation have not been included in the legal rules of the subject as it should be, because the review and analysis The assessment of damages caused by breach of contract in Iranian law compared to international documents indicates the weakness of Iran's legal system, as a result of the need for Iran's judicial system to apply international principles and documents and legal rules governing contracts in line with commercial and economic interactions at the international level. And compensation for damages caused by breach of contract is necessary. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Livestock and poultry industry has depended much on soybean meal. This dependence has led to fluctuations in the price of this product and therefore, forces market participants to follow the sensitivity and accuracy. These fluctuations created serious concerns about the supply and price of soybean meal. So, this study, using monthly and weekly data of Soybean prices in the exchange market, tried to forecast soybean price. So Soybean Meal price has predicted with neural network GMDH algorithm and ARIMA. The results based on the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MPAE) showed that the GMDH algorithm, has a better ability to predict the price accurately. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The economy of every country is composed of different parts, the relationship among which determines the economics direction of that country. The capital market together with money market make up the financial market as the fundamental basics of an economy. Their operation has significant influence on the growth and development of the economy. In cases there is no constructive relationship between the financial market and other parts of the economy, economic performance might be subject to distortions. The stock market as a fundamental basic of the financial market has a crucial role in facilitation of investments in the capital market. Given the importance of expectations in different economic fields, the main purpose of this study is to project behavior of the Tehran stock exchange price index. Therefore, after a review of dominant economic theories, we use a new method, artificial neural network GMDH, to forecast the impact of macroeconomic variable on the Tehran stock exchange price index. The GMDH Algorithm is a nonlinear model to anticipate complex systematic relationships between variables of the model. The special feature of this deductive algorithm is recognition and screening of the most effective variable to estimate the model with training samples and omit the non-significant ones the simulation process with testing samples. So, we can solve the model via iterative methods to minimize the typical standard Error like RMSE, MAPE, and so on. Manuscript profile

        Abstract The stock price indices are indispensable variables in economic systems, these usually complicated time series are almost stochastic, and hence their variation is assumed unpredictable. For this purpose, nonlinear and predictable examinations are used to test the existence of determined chaotic trend and nonlinear process in daily time series of Tehran&rsquo;s stock index from 1387/4/8 to 1392/7/10.The results reflect that sign test proves the non-stochastic nature of price index. The BDS&rsquo; results and those of sign test show that stock price index follows a nonlinear process. The independence tests like BDS test, White test, Chow test, test the correlation between observations in which the results are affirmative. Moreover, the cointegration-adjusted tests are used for testing the chaotic process of the price index and the results of both are affirmative. For predicting the stock price index in ongoing periods, we have used ARFIMA, FIGARCH, LSTAR,and ESTAR. Among those models, which examine the existence of long run memory in stock price index, FIGARCH, which tests the long run memory and variance, has the most capacity of accurate prediction. Among the nonlinear models, ESTAR has the most capacity. At the last, prediction is reported for ten periods with the one head process. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Since the highly complicated Time Series such as Stock Market Prices are usually stochastic, their changes are assumed to be unpredictable. Some tests which have been used to study the statistical observations related to the economical variables e.g. Stock Market Price, are often go wrong while encountering the chaotic data and recognize them as stochastic ones, though these data are actually generated from the deterministic systems which bear few tribulations. For this reason the predictable and non-linear tests such as HURST, BDS, Runs Test, and Correlation Dimension have been used to study the existence of deterministic chaotic trend and non-linear process in Time Series of Daily Stock Market Price Index of TEHRAN STOCK EXCHANGE from 23 rd October, 2000 to 24 th September, 2002. The result of the above mentioned tests shows the predictability and the existence of a non-linear process in the sample data. After the illustration of predictability and the non-linear process in daily stock index data, then the linear time series models (AR), non-linear (GARCH) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) have been estimated to present a suitable model for predicting the Stock Price Index. Comparing the potential of predictability of these models by such criteria as: CDC, RMSE, MAE, MAPE and U-THEIL inequality coefficient, it has been revealed that there is the highest potential of predictability in Artificial Neural Network models than the other ones Manuscript profile

        Abstract Agriculture productions are dependent to fossil fuels and other energy resources. Any damage in providing energy in agriculture sector has significant effect on its output productivity. Statisticsshow that the total amount of energy consumption in the agriculture sectorduring 1370-1388 has increased from 1.33 million barrels of crude oil to 4.43 (equivalent to 1.3 times higher). Petroleum products are the main sources of energy consumed in this sector. Inthis paper, in order to forecast the energy consumption, value added of agriculture sector by anARIMA model has been calculated. Then based on the average energy intensity in existing situation (7.0) andfuture years we forecasted three scenarios for energy consumption (Onefavorable and two unfavorable scenarios) up to 1410.&nbsp; High-energy intensity will create social costs and damages to environmental via emission of greenhouse gases. Subsidy payment to energy consumption has led to vulnerability to environmental problem .Inorder to optimize the energy consumption and reduce its intensity in theagricultural sector different strategies should be considered such as decreased in the use of fossilenergy and using new energies. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        AbstractSince the creation of the stock market in the nineteenth century, many researchers have focused on research into stock price forecasting models and market returns. Statistical prediction models such as Arma, Arima, Arch, have been widely used but none of them have had the desired result. Therefore, many researchers have recently considered the stock market as a nonlinear dynamic system. The application of nonlinear models as well as advanced techniques, although not many years have begun, but in a short time has been able to open its place in various sciences. The purpose of this study is to predict the stock index using the dynamic model averaging DMA and also the method of the dynamic model selective DMS and the use of quarterly data for the years 1380-1399. The main advantage of the model used in the present study is the introduction of a large number of independent variables for its dynamics without the usual problem of overfitting appearing in the model. In this paper, the effect of some macroeconomic variables on the process of modeling and forecasting stock returns on the stock exchange was investigated. The results of the article showed that the probability of entering the variables of money supply growth, quasi-money growth, inflation, land price index growth in large cities is more than other input variables.

        The study of the economic system at the international level shows the fact that there is always a close relationship between investment and the level of economic development of countries. This means that countries with an efficient model in allocating capital to different economic sectors, often have higher economic development and consequently social welfare. This is a study of commercial banks. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of business unit life (company age) in a multidimensional analysis method to predict the credit risk of legal customers (studied by commercial banks) and the analysis was reviewed and the desired results were presented. .In general, according to the useful results obtained from the statistical test, which indicates 85% accuracy of the multidimensional analysis model of preferences in mode A and indicates the absence of errors on average in mode B.Therefore, it can be concluded that examining the lifespan of a business unit can increase the accuracy of the above model.

        In this study, we examine the relation between earnings quality and earnings pattern and pricing of listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). We try to find the answer for this question "is there any direct and positive relation between earnings pattern and pricing?&rdquo;. Earnings patterns which are used are "increasing annual earnings, meeting or exceeding management forecasts and smoothing". The numbers of statistic community are 430 companies in TSE. We 98 companies these statistic communities during 1379 &ndash; 1386 by restricting the companies that meet some crotieria for doing the research. We use the information Financial Statements, Rahavard Novin, Tadbir Pardaz and libraries archives. For testing the Hypothesises, Pearson coefficient of correlation and multi variable regression model are used. The results show that there is a direct and positive relation between earnings pattern (smoothing), earnings quality and pricing, while there is no relation between earnings pattern (increasing annual earnings and meet or exceed management forecasts) and earnings quality. Also, in this study we try to find patterns, effective for valuation of share prices. The results of testing the first hypothesis show that there is a positive and direct relation between earnings pattern (smoothing) and pricings and the second hypothesis confirms that the relation between other earnings patterns and earnings quality is negative and indirect. Our final analysis examines whether the pricing effects associated with earnings patterns are a function of the quality of earnings. The results show that earnings quality level has no effect on the relationship between earnings patterns and stock prices. Manuscript profile

The research hypnotizes were dealt with use of t test and score, ultimately all hypnotizes were approved. In the nerve network, the assumptions of research were studied by the use of nerve network and after the distribution of the error and Market-Loren berg educational model and it was determined that while all the indexes were entered into the network as input, the for forecasts of prices do not enter into the network as precisely as the indexes do enter. Also, the rate of network error was increasing. The results of nerve network corresponded with the results of statistical analysis. In other words, in both methods, the indexes have been marked as obstacles for forecasting the shares prices by the use of nerve network method. Key Words: Nerve Network, Forecast of Shares Price, Relative Strength Index, Rate of Shares Cost Index, After Distribution of Error. Manuscript profile

        Rapid technological advances and vast environmental changes, leading to increasing competition and limit access to benefits and likely to suffer financial crisis has increased. Purpose of this study is investigating financial crisis prediction strength of different artificial intelligence techniques(linear and nonlinear genetic algorithm and neural network). Based on available information and statistics, of all companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, 72 companies have been subject to Article 141 trade law and 72 companies have not been subject to this Article was elected. Results of Mc-Nemar test for genetic algorithms techniques and neural network showed that there are not significant differences between linear and nonlinear genetic algorithms with neural network. Although the predictive accuracy of nonlinear genetic algorithm(90%) and linear genetic algorithms(80%) is more than of the neural network(70%) but this difference is not statistically significant.

        Abstract The purpose of this paper was to investigate the Effect of Management Forecast Quality on investment efficiency considering the Moderating role of ownership structure. The statistical population of the research is listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange. In this regard, the data of 129 companies in the period between 2009 to 2018, has been investigated by applying a multivariate regression model. Data has been extracted from Codal site and Rahaward software Version 3. The data were analyzed by eviews software version 11. Before testing the research models, using F-Limer and Hausman tests, panel data with fixed effects were selected for testing the models. The present study is of a correlational nature and in terms of purpose, it is an applied research. In this study, institutional ownership and ownership concentration were used to measure ownership structure. The results indicated that earnings Forecast accuracy has a positive and significant effect on investment Efficiency. In addition, institutional ownership does not strengthen the relationship between earnings Forecast accuracy and investment efficiency. But the ownership concentration moderates the effect of earnings Forecast accuracy on investment efficiency. Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study is to assess the errors which would occur in the prediction of absolute earnings in the increasing capital reporting. To achieve mentioned objective, we have examined some information as performance evaluation measures including assets, debits, sales, financial leverage ratio, internal rate of returns and the errors which would occur in the prediction of absolute earnings in the increasing capital reporting 1386 to 1388. The correlation analysis with linear regression and test variance analysis have been used as the statistical method and the gathered data has been analyzed via the SPSS software. On top pf that, rationality of the regression equation and its coefficients were investigated respectively with F and T tests. The results reveal a significant relation between the errors which would occur in the prediction of absolute earnings in the increasing capital reporting and financial position of the companies, internal rate of returns, the industry type, the reports type (financing for working capital or financing for development plans). In addition the errors which would occur in the prediction of absolute earnings was found independent to financial leverage rate, when the companies get into the Stock Exchange and size of the companies.

        The main purpose of this paper is review of the relationship between conservatism and amount of earning anticipation of companies accepted in Tehran stock exchange. For quantifying the conditional conservatism, we use two measures including negative coefficient of total voluntary(non-operational) accrual items to total assets and the proportion of net income before unexpected items to market value of stockholders equity. Likewise, for quantifying the unconditional conservatism, we use two measures namely the rate of book value to market value of net assets and negative coefficient of total accrual items total assets average. Research hypothesis studied on each industries level and total industry level. The findings imply that there was no significant relationship between including negative coefficient of total voluntary(non-operational) accrual items and anticipated earning in total industry level.Also, there was a significant relationship between the proportion of net income before unexpected items to market value of stockholders equity and anticipated earning in plant and equipment, electric and ceramic tile industries; but there was not a significant relationship between them in total industry level. In addition, there was an insignificant relationship betweenthe proportionof book value to market value of net assets andanticipated earning in electric and food-beverage industries and this hypothesis corroborated in other industries and total industry level. Eventually, the results represent that the negative coefficient of total accrual items to total assets average had an insignificant relationship on anticipated earning. Manuscript profile

        The conflict of interest between issuers of financial statements and the users of financial statements have been the subject of significant debate for using different methods of accounting accepted principles and implementing earning as an important criterion for decision making process. Thus, this controversial results, made us to contribute to this debate by investigating the relationship between earnings quality attributes and performance of Iranian public listed firms in Tehran stock exchange. We examined sample of 63 firms that randomly ed in the period 2002 to 2009. We derived a summary measure of earnings quality by applying factor analysis on two variables representing different components of two primary dimensions of earnings quality: Feedback value (FV) and Predictive Value (PV). Also two common financial performance measures namely Returns on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q were examined. We then provide empirical evidence to address the question, whether earnings quality of Iranian listed firms is associated with their performance or not. Based on using pool regression, we interpret our results that, the feedback value of earnings has both positive and significant association with firm performance measures. On the other hand, predictive value has both negative and significant association with returns on assets and has not significant association with Tobin's Q. further, the current study provide novel evidence towards the understanding of more powerful association between feedback value with firm performance measures than predictive value. Specifically in this survey, we controlled the influence of essential firm characteristics namely size, leverage, and growth on firm performance. Manuscript profile

        Abstract Integrated financial reporting provides investors with a comprehensive understanding and insight into the company and reduces the costs of obtaining information, processing, facilitating and combining relevant and effective information, and ultimately raising stock price awareness, improving information quality and facilitating more efficient capital allocation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between integrated financial reporting with earnings forecasting bias and stock price awareness. The statistical population of this research is all companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and 167 companies in the period 1391 to 1399 have been selected by systematic elimination method. Also, to test the research hypotheses, a multivariate regression model based on composite data was used. The results of the first hypothesis indicate that there is a direct and significant relationship between integrated financial reporting and behavioral financial bias in stock price forecasting. The results of testing the second hypothesis showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between integrated financial reporting and accuracy of profit forecasting. Integrated financial reporting with disclosure of financial and non-financial information from the financial reporting process and corporate activity makes investors and analysts more accurate forecasts. The results of testing the third hypothesis showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between integrated financial reporting and stock price awareness. He said that by combining financial and non-financial information, the process of creating value for the company in the form of financial reporting makes the information content of stock prices informative and investors in stocks make optimal decisions according to rational investment theory.

        Stock exchange is a secure way to gain public trust for investment in different securities with varying risks. In this way small and scattered capitals which cannot be utilized alone can be accumulated and a huge investment can be made of them for economic development and progress. In stock exchange, there are a lot of sensitivities to price formation course. This has caused that changes related to such phenomenon to be systematically analyzed. In recent years, a variety of models have been employed by specialists for prediction of share price. Since Artificial Intelligence Techniques which include Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithm and Fuzzy Logic have achieved successful results in complex problems, they are used more for this purpose. Present study intends to answer the question whether using a combination of Artificial Intelligence Technique, a model can be set up which compared to other linear and non-linear methods predicts share price with less error. In this research, to predict stock price (Tehran stock exchange - Iran Khodro CO), a combination of Artificial Intelligence Methods including Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm are used and this combined model is compared with Neural Network Methods, the title for one of the other Artificial Intelligence Models, and ARIMA linear model, given R2, MAE, MAPE, MSE. The results of this research shows that the superiority of Hybrid model compared to other models are examined. Manuscript profile

        Investor's emotional tendencies indicate the margin of shareholder's optimism and pessimism towards a stock. Investors' emotions, under the influence of psychological phenomena, direct people's behavior and, in many cases, make people to deviate from the rational behavior. The purpose of this study is to use meta-innovative methods to predict the emotional tendencies of investors. In this study, using 97 financial ratios related to 176 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period between 2006 and 2018, investors' emotional tendencies have been predicted with the help of support vector machine (SVM) and decision tree (DT) techniques.To measure the emotional tendencies of investors, four indicators of relative strength, psychological line, trading volume and stock turnover adjustment rate have been applied. Finally, we have combined these indicators with the help of PCA method. Mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) values were used to compare predicting methods. The results of data analysis indicate that the prediction error of the support vector machine method is less than the decision tree. Manuscript profile

        This paper is to develop a pattern to forecast adjusted returns according to the downside risk for the Tehran Stock Exchange. For this pursues, first, it seeks to find the factors affecting the adjusted return of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, taking into account the role of downside risk in the context of information asymmetry. In the second stage, it provides a pattern of forecasting adjusted returns based on downside risk. In fact, the main problem is that several internal and external effective variables affect the adjusted return according to the downside risk, and each of these variables may have positive or negative (ambiguous) effects on the adjusted return according to the downside risk. This study is to investigate the ambiguity about the role of variables affecting adjusted returns. The results of the regression model test show that the variables of capital structure, net profit, return on assets, board of directors, and duality of duties of managing director and chairman of the board at 99% confidence level and variables of dividend ratio and operating cash flow at 95% confidence level have significant effects on the adjusted return.

        Investing in the capital market requires deciding on issues such as selection, timing, price and share buybacks with market research. One of the ways to do this is to use econometric modelers. In the studies performed to compare methods or to present hybrid models, most econometric models have been studied without comparing and predicting the error of prediction error of other algorithms. In this research, the most efficient algorithm for solving this defect is implemented and compared with the proposed methods on selected shares and based on the proposed parameters.On the other hand, often the order of the regression and the mean of the moving average sentence are considered for the finite number of studies, which is based on Bayesian criteria for determining the p and q degrees to obtain the optimal response. This paper compares the methods of self-regressive moving average, cumulative self-regressive moving average, self-regulated seasonal moving average, self-regressive moving average with explanatory variable, cumulative mean self-regression with explanatory variable, self-regression model with variance. Generalized conditional, exponential self-regression model with generalized conditional heterogeneity variance and regression model with moving average self-regression errors for selected symbols of Tehran Stock Exchange.

        In this study, using dynamic averaging models and monthly data in the period 2001:4 until 2018:3, Tehran Stock Exchange returns be investigated. In this regard, macroeconomics variables and parallel markets indices have been used to forecast the stock returns. Initially, estimating various models such as Recursive models, time-varying parameter models (TVP), dynamic model selection (DMS) and dynamic model averaging (DMA) in Matlab software, It was observed that DMS model with &alpha; = &beta; = 0.95 had higher forecast accuracy (based on MAFE, MSFE and Log (PL) metrics). Gold price (48-period), exchange rate (36-period) and inflation rate (30-period) had the highest effect on stock returns, respectively, and global oil prices and GDP had the lowest effect by 28 and 2, respectively. Finally, the results indicate that utilizing dynamic models by considering time variations in parameters and the variation of the model increases the efficiency of forecasting stock returns.

        Given the importance of gold prices in financial markets and the economic effects of price fluctuations, the trend of gold price changes in the national and global economy has attracted the attention of many researchers and economic analysts. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to predict the trend of the global gold price movement. The purpose of this study was to introduce a combined model of the GARCH-Classic and the GARCH-Copula models and to compare them with the Garch family models in order to predict the global gold price trend in the period 01/04/2002 to 26/06/2018. The forecast horizons are 1, 5, 10, and 22 days. The prediction accuracy of these models has been evaluated and compared using RMSE error criterion. Results showed that in short-run prediction horizons, the normal Capula model with GARCH-t distribution and in long run prediction horizon, Capula- t model with the distribution of GARCH-t performs better than competing models. The hybrid model presented in this study has a high potential for predicting the trend of global gold price movement, so using this model for different sector investors, economic analysts, as well as country macro planners, can have valuable results.

        Modeling and predicting stock returns has always been one of the challenges for researchers and investors. Hence, different methods and models have been proposed, most of which have been based on assumptions such as the distribution of returns. The kernel distribution and mixture of normal distributions were examined to predict stock return in the present study. To this end, kernel functions and mixtures of normal distributions and related parameters have been estimated using maximization of likelihood function and quartiles 99%, 95% and 90% were computed for each of distributions and for 30 superior enterprises listed in Tehran Security and Exchange (TSE) at first quarter in 2019 as predictor values of stock return. In order to determine precision of prediction methods, MSE and PRED error criteria were employed and the findings showed that mixture of normal distributions and kernel approximation might propose favorable predictions for 5-day stock returns in quartiles 90% of return distribution. Comparison of precision between two methods indicated that kernel approximation, as a non parametric method for prediction of returns, leads to higher precision than mixture of normal distributions.

        Abstract The purpose of this research is Modeling of exchange rate fluctuations with systems dynamics approach. In this research, all the factors affecting the exchange rate have been identified and evaluated their systemic relationships. First, the trend and the exchange rate price were predicted using the system dynamics from 2004 to 2022 , and the results were compared with the trend and real exchange rate of the exchange rate. The results show that the exchange rate trend over the 19-year period has always been with a slight upward slope, but during the years 2012 -2013 and 2018-2017 there was a sharp rise in price and slope that is exactly the same as the real exchange rate trend. Also, comparing the exchange rate data to the market price and the expected exchange rate until 2018 shows that this model has been able to accurately assess the trend and predict possible failures.

        In the present study the accuracy of predicting cryptocurrencies return was compared through two approaches of Geometric Broanian Motion (GBM) and Wavelet Transforms (WT). In order to do that, 5 cryptocurrencies of BTC, ETH, XRP, BCH and EOS as representatives of risky assets were studied with daily frequency during the one year period of 2018 to 2019. Two measures of RMSE and MAE were employed to compare the accuracy of approaches in prediction of returns. In geometric Brownian modeling, the Brownian process-based stochastic differential model for asset prices leads to the fact that the logarithmic return of an asset has a normal distribution with time-dependent parameters. The results of logarithmic returns prediction by both of methods showed that WTs have less error than GBM in returns prediction of BTC, ETH, XRP and BCH cryptocurrencies and for each of accuracy measures, an specific approach has desirable performance for prediction of EOS returns. citing these results it can be concluded that WT in prediction of risky assts returns has less error than GBM method.

        Today, investing in gold markets is an important part of any country's economy, so estimating the price of gold is one of the most important topics of study for economists and financial analysts who have developed different approaches and perspectives. Naturally, methods can be durable and suitable for use that have the least investment error and risk. In developing countries such as Iran, due to inflation and uncertainty about the future, the demand for gold to cover the risk of inflation is high.The formation of the Bahar Azadi coin futures contract market in the Commodity Exchange in recent years has also helped to create an organized market to cover risk and also to use arbitrage opportunities in the gold market. The trading statistics of Bahar Azadi coin futures contract have grown significantly since the entry of its first symbol in the trading table of Iran Commodity Exchange, so that it has created an organized market with high trading volume and appropriate liquidity in the field of derivatives trading in the country. In this study, we decided to use two models of stochastic differential equations (Heston and Merton) to predict the price of futures contracts and compare the results. Manuscript profile

        It is very important to choose an efficient monitoring system to assess the financial distress of banks, therefore, one of the most important monitoring systems used to assess the financial distress of banks is the CAMELS monitoring system. Which includes six indicators; Capital adequacy, asset quality, management quality, revenue quality, liquidity, market risk sensitivity. Therefore, in this study, the criterion of financial helplessness of banks is CAMELS indicators. Initially, 17 banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in the fiscal year 1399 were ranked and divided into healthy and helpless financial groups by CAMELS indicators. Then, models, Data Envelopment Analysis and logistic Regression were used to predict the financial distress of banks. Then, with the pairwise comparison test (T), the prediction accuracy of both models was investigated. In logistic regression method, binary model with ForwardlR method was used. And in data envelopment analysis method, SBM model with different application was used. The results showed that the overall accuracy of the logistic regression model is higher than the data envelopment analysis model in assessing financial distress and also the CAMELS monitoring system can be a good assessor for banks' financial distress.

        The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the net cash flows of the Tehran Stock Exchange funds and the Tehran Stock Exchange index during the period of 2013 to December 2019, using the information of the 10 largest active mutual funds established and active in the Tehran Stock Exchange during this period. .In this study, an index of net cash flows into mutual funds daily and cumulatively is considered as a measure of cash flow compared to the TSE Index (TEDPIX). The results of this test indicate that the two indices are coherent in series and their relationships are significant in the long run. Also, the Granger causality test was used to examine the interrelationships between these two indices.The results of this test showed that there is an interaction between the two indices. This means that in the long run, both indices affect each other so net cash inflows to the funds can be a measure for predicting the overall indices trend but with Attention to the behavioral errors identified in similar articles.for predicting the index cannot be relied solely on net cash inflows into the funds.

        Forecasting stock prices plays an important role in setting a trading strategy or determining the appropriate timing for buying or selling a stock. Deep Learning (DL) is a type of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) that consists of multiple processing layers and enables high-level abstraction to model data. The key advantage of DL models is extracting the good features of input data automatically using a general-purpose learning procedure which is suitable for dynamic time series such as stock price.In this research the ability of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to predict the stock price is studied; moreover, the factors that have significant effects on the stock price is classified and legal and natural person trading is introduced as an important factor which has influence on the stock price. Price data, technical indexes and legal and natural person trading is used as an input data for running the model. The results obtained from LSTM with Dropout layer are better and more stable than simple form of LSTM and RNN models. Manuscript profile

        The main reason that people invest in the stock market is to earn profits that require having accurate market information and stock changes and predicting its future trend. Therefore, the investor needs the powerful and reliable tools needed to predict stock prices. In this regard, the present study investigates stock price forecasts based on MSE mean square error, mean absolute deviation MAE and root mean square error RMSE. Finally, the methods investigated in this study are compared and identify the top method to predict stock prices. For this purpose, the data of the top 50 stock exchange companies, which are quarterly presented by the stock exchange organization, were used during the period 2012-2018. In order to test the research hypotheses, linear regression method, Brownian method and ARIMA method were used. The research findings show that the Brownian model predicts stock prices more accurately than the ARIMA method. It was also observed that linear statistical ARIMA models are less efficient in the financial markets than the brownian methods. Manuscript profile

        The stock market index is one of the effective features in investment because it can well reflect the health status and macro change trend of a country&rsquo;s economic development. Various features affect the stock index. The various combinations of these features create a wide state space. Hence, it is impractical to provide a data set containing all these combinations to train the stock index prediction model. in this research, an attempt has been made, after collecting a significant number of effective features on the index, to provide a method for selecting appropriate features for the stock index prediction model with aim of increasing prediction accuracy. For this purpose, the mRMR algorithm is used as the basic algorithm. Also, to select the appropriate model, a number of the most applicable artificial intelligence models for predicting the stock index were compared and according to the results, the LSTM network was selected to predict the stock index. The results of this study show that using the LSTM network and the proposed method in selecting features, with 8 selected features, high accuracy can be achieved in the daily prediction of the Tehran Stock Exchange Index.

        The purpose of portfolio optimization is to select an optimal combination of financial assets, which should be a guide for investors to achieve the highest returns against the lowest possible risk. On the other hand, one of the key factors in portfolio optimization decisions is related to predict the stock prices. To do this, classical nonlinear mathematical and intelligent models such as regression are commonly used. In the present study, a nonlinear model of support vector regression with multiple outputs is applied to reduce the prediction errors. To show the effectiveness of the proposed model, the data of S &amp; P500 index companies in the period 12/09/2016 to 02/08/2021 is used. The results show that the selection of a portfolio based on prediction using multiple vector backup regression due to considering the relationships between outputs simultaneously in terms of Sharp criteria has a better performance than the selection of portfolio based on prediction using regression method.

        In recent years, deep learning neural networks have been recognized as powerful tools for solving complex problems. Deep learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence in which complex problems with numerous parameters and inputs are modeled based on a set of algorithms. In this research, a new framework of deep learning is presented. Using wavelet transform, stacked auto-encoders, and the Long Short-Term Memory or LSTM, we predict the market direction in the future contracts of gold coins of Iran's Commodity Exchange market. The input data is first denoised using the wavelet transformer in the proposed method. Then, using the stacked auto-encoder, the indicators influencing the market direction are identified. Ultimately, these indicators are given as input to the LSTM architecture to predict the market direction. Proposing several new technical indicators to increase the accuracy of the proposed model, adjusting the parameters of the utilized algorithms, including LSTM, for this problem, and suggesting a trading strategy to achieve appropriate profitability are among the contributions of the present study. Investigations reveal that the proposed method outperforms other approaches and achieves higher accuracy and efficiency. Manuscript profile

        Finding solutions for price prediction, forming an optimal portfolio and achieving more profit are the basic goals of financial market activists. The purpose of this research is to predict the price of financial assets such as several stocks, gold, coin and a number of digital currencies using the LSTM neural network model and then form an optimal portfolio by calculating the rate of return, risk and the Sharpe ratio. The data used is from the archives of the Tehran Stock Exchange website, the website of the gold, coin and currency information network, as well as the website of buying and selling digital currencies. The time series of the prices of the investigated assets is between 2017 and 2020. Also, we used Python programming language and Gephi software to build the model and analyze the data. In the end, it was found that the LSTM neural network model is capable of predicting the price of financial assets with a very low error rate in each asset, and according to the Sharpe ratio obtained for each financial asset and the correlation matrix, Vebank stock, Khbahman 1 stock, and Digital currencies TRON, Tether and Bitcoin allocate more shares in the proposed portfolio.

        In recent years, in the financial literature, more attention has been paid to the level of cash holding of companies. So; Forecasting is important to determine the optimal level of cash holding. In this research, using linear and non-linear methods and 13 influential input variables, the amount of cash in 103 companies admitted to the Iran Stock Exchange during the years 2013 to 2021 has been predicted. The methods used include multiple linear regression (MLR), k nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM) and multi-layer neural networks (MLNN) for prediction. The results show that the traditional method of multiple linear regression has not been successful in predicting cash, but machine learning algorithms have been superior with an accuracy of 0.99. The variables of profit per share, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities and the ratio of short-term debt to total assets have had a greater impact in all algorithms. Therefore, managers can use advanced machine learning algorithms to predict the future cash flow of companies. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, data mining, particularly the support vector machine, has gained considerable interest among investors, managers, and researchers as an effective means of bankruptcy prediction. However, studies indicate that it is highly sensitive to the selection of parameters and input variables. Hence, the aim of this research is to improve bankruptcy prediction accuracy by combining an advanced support vector machine model with the k-nearest neighbor approach to eliminate erroneous entries. To achieve this, first, by using five financial ratios: current ratio, net profit margin, debt ratio, return on assets, and return of investment from 150 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the 10-year period (2010-2019), and k-nearest neighbor algorithm, the training data will be refined. Then, relying on a support vector machine based on classification penalty, a prediction model will be constructed. The parameters will be estimated, and its validity will be assessed using test data. Finally, a comparison will be made between the outcomes of the proposed model and traditional models.The findings demonstrate that the combination of the k-nearest neighbor models and support vector machine reduces the overall prediction error, and the penalty coefficients of the support vector machine exhibit a high level of statistical significance.

        Due to the complexity of the stock market and the high volume of processable information, often using a simple system to predict cannot release appropriate results. Therefore, researchers have been trying to provide a system with less complexity and more efficiency and accuracy using hybrid models. nowadays various patters are used including statistical technique (discriminate analysis , logistic , analysis factors) and artificial intelligent techniques ( neural networks(NN) , decision trees , case based reasoning , genetic algorithm , rough sets , support vector machine , fuzzy logic ) and the combination of these two technique for predicating stock prices. For most predictive models, the system uses only one indicator to predict, but in the proposed model in this study, a two-level system of multilayered perceptron neural networks is presented which uses several indicators to predict. To do this, required information of Tehran Stock Exchange price indicators, for fiscal years 2012 - 2017 was collected. We also used the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm to select the best samples for better nerve network training and thus to improve the results.&nbsp; The results show that the proposed model can operate with lower prediction error than other models.

        In this study, a formula is de rived for the period specific beta (market risk) for a portfolio of financial assets that has been formed on the basis of directional forecasts. This is an important contribution to the literature since measuring the risk of an actively managed portfolio is problematic due to the fact that managers may change fund risk conditional on market expectations. The period- specific nature of the measure is a significant advantage since historical fund re turns are not required and the beta is not influenced by prior fund returns&rsquo; deviations from the bench mark. The methodology employed allows for the development of a time series of fund betas that permits investigation into a number of important Empirical issues. This study is also of practical interest from the perspective of risk management and for both portfolio performance and attribution. Finally, there are many active strategies based on directional forecasts and the approach used here en com passes a significant proportion of these.

        According to the findings of financial econometric researches, oil prices as one of the most important macroeconomic variables affect financial markets and economies of oil exporting countries. In this study, the price of OPEC oil basket has been used with daily frequency. The period under review is from August 3, 2013 to December 26, 2016. The course includes various developments such as unrest and war in the Middle East, a sharp and unexpected decline in oil prices for reasons such as a decline in demand, an agreement 27, and the agreement of OPEC members to reduce oil production in order to increase oil prices, is located. Initial studies indicate cluster fluctuations, ie, independent and uniform distribution characteristics and variance consistency. The Breusch Godfrey test confirms the effects of ARCH and GARCH. Also, a generalized test with the estimation of kernel density based on the Monte Carlo rule indicates Parson&rsquo;s weight on the effects of ARCH in the variable. The results of the study of oil price fluctuations using the MS-GARCH model of single and multiple regimes indicate that the three regimes model is suitable for explaining the behavior of the variable in the reviewed period.

        Research in financial distress and bankruptcy emphasize the design of more sophisticated classifiers, and less feature (variables) selection and their appropriate methods. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to compare performance of different feature selection methods in financial distress prediction of the companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). In this regard, we investigated and compared five feature selection methods, including t-test, stepwise regression, factor analysis, relief, wrapper subset selection and RFE-SVM feature selection. To obtain comparable experimental results (reliable comparison), three different classifiers (including neural networks, support vector machine and AdaBoost) were used in this study. In overall, the experimental results confirmed the usefulness of variable selection methods and significant difference among level (amount) of different methods performance. In other words, the application of the feature selection methods increases the mean of accuracy, and reduces the occurrence of type I and type II errors. Furthermore, the results indicated that wrapper subset selection method outperforms the other feature selection methods. Manuscript profile

        Risk forecasting for future periods plays an important role in making the right decisions of managers and financial activists to invest in companies and institutions. On the other hand wrong decisions of commercial managers can have undesirable consequences for their organizations. Therefore the most important issues for investors is forecasting risk in future periods. The importance of this issue was caused us to forecast Value at Risk (VaR) in one step ahead by using the exponential smoothing family for two normal and t-student distributions with confidence levels of 95%, 97.5% and also 99% in this research. Previously the classic method is commonly used to forecast future periods of VaR, but in this research the family of exponential smoothing models is used, which process data by considering trend and doing so online monitoring. In order to validate the model, the proposed model has been compared with the classic method by using backtesting. The results confirms the more accurate forecasting of proposed method in normal distribution with confidence levels of 97.5%, and 99% and also in t-student distribution with confidence levels of 97.5%, 99%.

        Prediction is an essential component of short and medium term planning in any business. A precise prediction can be effective in generating returns, managing cash flows, and allocating resources, enabling an investor to estimate, within a given time frame, its business revenue and its returns. Researchers have the idea to set aside old methods, which takes expense and time, and implement new methods such as the use of learning machines. This research is of the type of research, analytical-empirical, in terms of research design, post-event, in terms of purpose, applied, in terms of implementation logic, deductive and in terms of time, longitudinal and prospective type. In this research, the algorithm model of the nearest neighbor, the Rough method and the decision tree are used to improve predictive power, cost reduction, and time prediction of stock returns. For this purpose, a sample of 113 listed companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange during a 10-year period (2006-2015) was selected from the companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The results of the research showed that all the hypotheses of this research are based on a difference in the accuracy of estimating these models in the prediction of the three dependent variables.

        Predictability in financial markets is very complex, and the reasons for this complexity can be summarized as non-standard data, nonlinear data flow, and large variations in data. Determining the proper pattern for forecasting volatility can play a significant role in decision making. In the old econometric models it is assumed that the component of error constant during the sample period. But in many financial time series it is observed that during periods of volatility is very sever. Under these conditions, the assumption of the exictence of the equivalence of variance is no longer reasonable. In the present paper, the GARCH, IGARCH, EGARCH, GJR-GARCH, FIEGARCH, HYGARCH, and MRS-GARCH two-regime models were evaluated in prediction of OPEC crude oil price volatility during 2010-2016 based on their RMSE error criterion. The results of this evaluation show the superiority of the Markov Switching GARCH Model on the 5 and 22-day horizons. Also, the long-term FIEGARCH memory model in predicting horizons of 1 and 10 days has better performance in predicting oil price volatilities than other competing models. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        This paper compares three models of the GARCH family to investigate the volatility dynamics of gold Price returns. Nowadays, GARCH-type models have been extensively used in modeling the volatility process of various asset price returns. Gold plays a critical role as a hedge against adverse market conditions. An accurate understanding about the gold volatility is important for the financial assets pricing, risk management, portfolio selection hedging strategies and value-at-risk policies. In this study, we use Iranian gold returns data from March 25, 2003 to December 25, 2015 and employ the GARCH(1,1), IGARCH(1,1) and FIGARCH(1,d,1) specifications. The research findings show that the FIGARCH is the best model to capture dependence in the conditional variance of the gold returns. Moreover, we examine the long memory behavior in the volatility of gold returns. According to the estimation results, the long memory parameter is positive and statistically significant. Consequently, long memory is an important characteristic of the gold volatility returns and should be taken into consideration in investment decisions. Also, the out-of-sample evaluation criteria (MAE, RMSE and TIC) select the FIGARCH(1,d,1) as the best forecasting model of gold volatility. Manuscript profile

        Predicting the future stock price has always been considered as an important issue by both buyers and sellers. Hence, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used in this study to develop a model pertaining to artificial intelligence in order to predict stock price in Iran Stock Market. Since artificial neural networks should consist of the best network topology to achieve the highest performance, Firefly Algorithm (FA), a meta-heuristic Algorithm, was used to find the optimal structure of network. Finally, Bayesian regulation technique, rather than the conventional teaching techniques, was applied to maintain the more generalized network. In general, Data from three big companies: Iran Khodro Company, Shiraz Petrochemical Company, and Isfahan Steel Companywere gathered in span of three years. This paper profited from some parameters, including high price, low price, the opening price, closing price, EMA(5) ،EMA(10) ،RSI ،William R% ،Stochastic k% ،Stochastic D% و ،ROCas network inputs and benefited from the closing stock price in the next days as the neural network as well. After developing a model associated with each company, some parameters such as the root-mean-square error (RMSE), Standard Deviation of error(SD), Absolute average relative deviation (AARD), the regression coefficient (R2) as well as the graphical analysis of relative deviation have been used to examine the accuracy of the developed network. The outcomes of the analysis of the developed neural networks revealed that the mentioned models with great accuracy are able to predict stock price in the subsequent day for the corporations mentioned above.

        Understanding and the investigating the behavior of stock prices, has always been one of the major topics of interest to the investors and finance scholars. In recent years, various models for prediction using neural network and hybrid models have been proposed which have a better performance than the traditional models. Here a hybrid model of neural network and wavelet transform is proposed in which genetic algorithm has been used to improve the performance of wavelet transform in optimizing the wavelet function. Daily stock exchange rates of TSE from April 21, 2012 to April 19, 2017 are used to develop a prediction model. The results show that it is possible to find a wavelet basis, which will be appropriate to the intrinsic characteristics of time series for prediction and the prediction error in this model is reduced comparing to the neural network and hybrid neural network and wavelet models.

        Exchange rate prediction is an important economic variable of interest to the economic actors. Technical approach is one of the commonly used approaches to forecasting, which uses the past behavior of the exchange rate for prediction. However, given the chaotic and non-linear structure of financial markets, the market forecasting cannot be done using a certain and simple method obtained by combining different technical tools and more sophisticated methods are required. In recent decades, neural networks have been employed as one of the most widely used methods in classification, pattern recognition and prediction of complex time series. In this research, a multilevel neural network model was provided to predict the euro-dollar exchange rate, which predicts the price on the next day with an appropriate accuracy by utilizing the data and variables derived from the technical analysis. The results demonstrated the proper function of this method versus other conventional methods of technical analysis and neural network. Manuscript profile

        Management forecasts are disclosures made by companies to communicate information about their future performance to shareholders. These disclosures are voluntary and are intended to reduce information asymmetry between management and shareholders. Incorrect forecasts can be very costly for managers and question the credibility of managers and show managerial incompetence. The quality of the internal audit function reduces the likelihood of erroneous, biased, or incomplete information in management reports, which managers use to improve their earnings forecasts. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of internal audit function quality on management earnings forecasts accuracy was experimentally tested. To test the research hypothesis, the financial data of the firms listed in Tehran Stocks Exchange during the time period 2018-2022 was used, so that after applying the restrictions in this research, the final sample consisting of 136 firms was selected. After measuring the research variables, multivariate regression analysis based on panel data estimation was used to test the research hypothesis, and the results of the statistical tests showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between internal audit function quality and management earnings forecasts accuracy.

        AbstractIn most return forecasting models, the return of the total market is used as one of the factors affecting the return of securities. In most of these models, such as the pricing model of capital assets and Black-Scholes, the data distribution is assumed to be normal. This is while the distribution of the total return is not necessarily normal and often has a significant difference from the normal distribution. If such a hypothesis is confirmed, the expected return predicted by these models will not be very effective in financial decisions. The purpose of this research is to model the total return of Tehran Stock Exchange based on the Laplace distribution and examine the dependence of the total return fluctuations on the desired distribution. In order to examine the distribution of the total daily return and its weekly fluctuations, data related to a 15-year period between 1387 and 1401 and R statistical software were used. The data analysis showed that the total daily return followed the Laplace distribution and the weekly fluctuations of the total return followed the distribution obtained based on the Laplace distribution. These findings make the use of models with the assumption of normality of total return to predict stock returns in Tehran Stock Exchange a major challenge and are a clear proof of the ineffectiveness of these models. .

        &nbsp; Abstract Financial analysts and investors use the performance of peer firms for valuation and investment decisions. Since managers know that their performance is compared to peer&rsquo;s firms, they have enough incentive to earnings manipulation. Therefore, the purpose of the present research is to investigate the relationship performance of peer firms on earnings management. Based on analysis of archival data of 114 firms listed in TSE, the findings show that there is a positive and significant relationship between performance of peer firms and earnings management. That is, the high performance of peer firms leads to increased discretionary accruals. In addition, change in earnings forecast per manager share has a positive and significant relationship with peer firm performance. Also, there is a significant relationship between the criterion of earnings forecast and performance of peer firms. Therefore, managers in response to the performance of peer firms and under the capital market pressure, manipulation of accounting earnings. This study focused more on the impact of peer firms and their performance on the quality of financial reporting. In addition, earnings management studies in the scope of motivation is broaden.

        The purpose of this paper is to predict stock prices using Hybrid GA-SVM Algorithm. Predicting time series such as stock price forecasting is one of the most important issues in financial field. In real life, identifying time series movements in stock price indices is very complex. Therefore, the use of a classical model alone cannot accurately predict stock price indices. Hence, by using combined methods, uncertainty in forecasting can be reduced. In stock price forecasting in financial sector, more than 100 indicators have been created to understand stock market behavior, so, identifying the appropriate indicators is a challenging problem. One of the techniques that has recently been studied for serial forecasting is support regression Vector (SVR) or machine support vector (SVM). This study uses the GA-SVM hybrid algorithm to predict the stock price index. Experimental results show that Hybrid GA-SVM Algorithm provides a more appropriate and promising alternative to stock market forecasting. Manuscript profile

        Theoretically, firms should reduce information risks to provide a transparent environment for different groups in capital market to make decisions. Therefore, identifying potential risk factors is important. This paper investigated the impact of earnings forecast bias and information asymmetry in imperfect competition market on the idiosyncratic risk. It is used the standard deviation of residuals extracted from capital asset pricing model to measure the idiosyncratic risk. Earnings forecast bias is measured based on the absolute value of difference between actual value and forecasted value of earnings per share scaled by the beginning stock price. In addition, information asymmetry is assessed based on the stock price bid-ask spread. Using filtering method, 147 firms listed in Tehran Securities &amp; Exchange during 2013 to 2018 selected as research population. Research hypotheses analyzed through multivariate regression models. Research results showed that more earnings forecast bias lead to increase the idiosyncratic risk. In addition, high level of information asymmetry caused to increase the idiosyncratic risk. Also information asymmetry lead to strengthen the positive relation between earnings forecast bias and idiosyncratic risk. As a whole, firms with high level of earnings forecast bias &amp; information asymmetry as inverse proxies of information quality which have worse information environment have more idiosyncratic risk.

        Purpose: Predicting accounting earnings and its changes as an economic event has long been of interest to financial analysts and researchers.The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of information environment on the relationship between consistency in book-tax differences and the accuracy of analysts&rsquo; of corporate earnings forecasts.Methodology: In this study, following the research of Choi, Hu and Khondkar (2020), the information environment and the quality of analysts' forecasts in two dimensions of predictive and prediction accuracy, consistency in book-tax differences in both temporary and Permanently dimensions were calculated and regression models were tested using the Generalized Torque Model (GMM). The selected sample consisted of 69 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange between 2011 and 2020.Findings: : Generally findings indicate that consistency in book-tax differences has affected the prediction accuracy of analysts' forecasts. In a way, temporary consistency has led to an increase and permanent consistency has led to a decrease in analysts' forecast prediction accuracy. In addition, consistency in book-tax differences has also affected the analysts' forecasts predictive accuracy, which has been increasing for temporary consistency and decreasing for permanent predictive consistency.The information environment has also affected both the predictive and prediction accuracy of the analysts' forecasts.Originality / Value: The obtained results have led to the expansion of the theoretical foundations in relation to the factors affecting the quality of analysts' forecasts, in two aspects: accuracy and usefulness of forecasts. And besides that, it is useful for company managers in adopting the necessary policies to create a suitable information environment. The mentioned relationships are measured bilaterally and include temporary and permanent differences in the taxes paid by companies. which provides useful information in this field for standard setters and legislators.

        Objective: The current research aims to systematically examine bankruptcy prediction models with the goal of developing a model that serves as a guide for selecting the most suitable tools. These tools should ideally align with the existing data and quality criteria of bankruptcy prediction models.Research Methodology: To conduct this research, a systematic search was performed on the Web of Science database using keywords such as Bankruptcy, Default, Distress, Failure, Forecasting, Predicting, Prediction, and Insolvency, spanning the years 2015 to 2023. Based on defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, this search yielded 1000 articles, out of which 49 were ultimately selected and analyzed. The findings from these articles were then summarized in tables. Subsequently, major bankruptcy prediction models were compared based on nine key criteria, and final conclusions were drawn.Findings: Artificial neural networks and support vector machines were found to have the highest accuracy, while multiple personality analysis showed the lowest accuracy. Additionally, artificial neural networks, multiple personality analysis, decision trees, and logistic regression require a large training sample to logically identify and precisely classify patterns. However, case-based reasoning, rough sets, and support vector machines can work with smaller sample sizes.Originality/ Value: The outcomes of this research contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of tools used in developing bankruptcy prediction models and the shortcomings associated with them.

        Given the importance of the role of human resources in organizations, strategic planning for achieving the optimum number of human resources in an organization is vital. The purpose of this research is to present a model for simulating and predicting team performance in industrial management teams in order to identify human-resource performance and improve human-resource management strategies. The factors that influence team performance are identified and extracted from previous studies, and then the timing of each task is examined in three scenarios, i.e. optimistic, probabilistic and Web-based, by identifying the processes that influence team performance. Model inputs are the number of students, the number of faculty, and the number of experts. Based on related studies, team performance outputs are three categories: The number of books, articles and theses; the desirability of team members; and the number of tasks completed, rejected, needed to revise or waiting in queue. The simulation was performed using Any Logic software. The results show that the desirability of the group manager and the training expert have the highest values in most scenarios and the number of tasks in the execution queue has a significant value in all scenarios. In some cases it is essential that new policies be adopted to improve HRM strategies in the industrial management department. Manuscript profile

        This paper proposes a&nbsp; Soft Computing model for effective bankruptcy prediction, based on the integration of Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) neural network and genetic algorithm which is called here as GA-GMDH. Genetic algorithm (GA) designs the whole architecture of the GMDH network and optimizes its topology. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed GA-GMDH model, its performance was compared with performance of the commonly used statistical techniques of logistic regression (LR) and a relatively new artificial intelligent technique of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). Performance of the designed prediction models depends on the utilized variable selection technique. Therefore, we constructed 12 prediction models through combining the four filtering feature selection methods and the three prediction models. The four feature selection methods of independent samples T-test, correlation matrix (CM), stepwise multiple discriminant analysis (SDA) and principal component analysis (PCA)are combined with prediction models to generate four optimal feature subsets. Empirical data were collected one year prior to failure from Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 1997-2008.&nbsp; For robust assessing of prediction models&rsquo; performance, we applied Type-I and Type-II errors, and area under the receiver operative characteristics curve (AUC) measures. Experimental results indicate that our proposed GA-GMDH model has high ability in bankruptcy prediction problem and significantly outperforms ANFIS and LR models in all combinations with four feature selection methods. Meanwhile, the CM method has the best ability in selecting predictive variables in comparison with other feature selection methods. Therefore, CM-GA-GMDH model is determined as the best constructed model for bankruptcy prediction using our particular dataset from TSE. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Smart cities make better use of space and have less traffic, cleaner air and more efficient city services and improve people's quality of life. The large number of vehicles that are constantly moving through congested areas in smart cities complicates the availability of a public parking space. This creates challenges for both traffic and residents. With such a large population, road congestion is a serious challenge. It wastes vital resources like fuel, money and most importantly time. Finding a suitable place to park is one of the reasons for traffic jams on highways. This paper proposes an economic forecasting model based on deep learning for long-term economic growth in smart cities. Traffic management is vital for cities in that it ensures that people can move freely around the city. Many cars trying to reach congested areas in smart cities make it difficult to find a public parking lot. This issue is inconvenient for both drivers and residents. A number of traffic management authorities have implemented an artificial neural network to solve this problem, and modern car systems have come with smart parking solutions. The experimental result of the economic forecasting model based on deep learning improves traffic estimation, accurate prediction of traffic flow, traffic management and intelligent parking compared to existing methods Manuscript profile

        Improving the problems of life in ancient times was a unique role of philosophy. This central role was forgotten due to the dominance of science in the modern era. But in the contemporary era, philosophy has come to its senses and is trying to revive its position in life through practical activities such as philosophical counselling. Achieving this goal requires clarifying the boundaries of differentiation between this emerging approach and other forms of psychological counselling. Therefore, this research was done with the aim of explaining the differences between philosophical counselling and psychological counselling. The type of research is applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of approach, and conceptual analysis method and interpretive method were used to explain the purpose. Based on the findings of the research, the differences between these two areas can be explained in terms of the difference in definition, therapeutic role, topic, task and role, skills, goals and the relationship between client and consultant. The results of the research showed that these two areas can support each other as a complement and consider the worldview and mental state of the clients together. Manuscript profile
