        1 - Abstract Considering the importance of tax function in the country's economy, it is necessary to reform the tax system and eliminate its deficiencies. Public acceptance is actually the level of society's trust in the country's tax structure and the assurance that tax justice is observed on the one hand and that the collected tax is spent on the development of the country on the other hand. On the other hand, tax evasion has always been one of the major concerns of governments in order to get closer to tax justice while providing maximum tax revenue, so the purpose of this research is to provide a proposed model for reforming Iran's tax system with two approaches of increasing public acceptance and reducing tax evasion. . The current research was conducted with a combined approach (combining qualitative and quantitative methods). In the qualitative part, the conceptual model of the research was designed by asking the opinions of 32 tax experts and through an open questionnaire. In the quantitative stage, through a statistical sample consisting of 112 informed people, the model designed with the structural equation modeling (PLS) approach was tested. The results show that the tax system is the foundation for the promotion of transparency due to its supervision and requirements. Transparency also has a positive and significant effect on reducing tax evasion in this area. Also, reducing tax evasion will increase public trust in this system.

        information technology offers opportunities for creating new business by opening new markets up andintroducing new products and services, but its acceptance encounters with many difficulties, speciallyby small and medium enterprises (SMEs). For example, a survey conducted by Verison found that36% of small and medium enterprises established web sites primarily to advertise and promote theirbusiness, compared to 9% who established one to sell or market online. Similarly, in a survey of 444SMEs during 2002, Pratt found that many SMEs were reluctant to conduct transactions online, morethan 80% were only using the Internet to communicate (via e–mail) and gather business information.This means that top managers/owners of SMEs do not realize the strategic value of electroniccommerce to their business or this means that they encounter significant barriers to implementing it.(Cyber Atlas, 2003)The research objective is determining the effective behavioral factors on decision making ofacceptance the electronic commerce by managers of SMEs in Tehran that it’s using the TechnologyAcceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The research focused on thebehavioral intention and it doesn’t measure the actual behavior. The data collected from 226 personsof top managers/owners of SMEs in order to validating research models, then the models evaluatedby Lisrel. The findings of the Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model presented a support to thetheoretical links. Also the findings of the Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior presented a support tothe theoretical links (with the exception of the effect of subjective norm on the behavioral intention toaccept/use the electronic commerce).

        Aim of this research is evaluation of “Diffusion of Innovations Theory” in relation with Electronicsconsumers' adoption. To do so, a population of Iranian TV-set manufacturers is studied. Five majorcompanies, holding 95% of market share have been chosen. Selection of main variables has been based on acategorization by the Ministry of Mine and Industry in three groups of products (14", 21" and 29" TV-sets).Due to the confidential nature of data and to facilitate generalizing and deducing, all data have been coded.Tests and analyses relating to research hypothesis have been lead to this conclusion that distribution curve ofDiffusion of Innovations in Electronic Industry (TV-sets), like the global pattern, does follow the normalcurve. But categorizing various types of adopters does not follow a global pattern; distribution beneath thecurve (Adopters Classifications) shows following record:- Lack of innovators is observed.- Early adopters and laggards mark a level higher than normal.- Early majorities and late majorities show a level lower than the normal limit.

        Social media is one of the most popular web 2.0 features in Iran. Regarding this fact, this paper aims to identify Iranian users’ reasons in preferring Telegram on other Instant Messaging Applications (IMAs). Recently, Telegram has become the most popular IMA in Iran and many people use that every day. Using an extension of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), I try to answer the question why Iranians use this app instead of other IMAs such as Viber, Line and WhatsApp. The methodology was online survey which was conducted by GoogleDrive.com and a combination of purposed and snowball sampling was choose as sampling method. The sample consisted of 127 respondents and data was analyzed by SPSS 23. The results show that the perceived enjoyment, social effects, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use is more severe for Telegram, comparing with other IMAs. Also, the findings confirm there is no relationship between education, age, job, income and gender with using Telegram. So we can conclude using Telegram is so pervasive in all of Iranian groups. This can be understood in the light of the term of ubiquitization of telegram in Iran. This paper paves the path for further studies into the situation of social media in Iran. Manuscript profile

        This paper designs a mathematical model for supply chain network design problem including plants, distributors and customers in fuzzy environment. Each plant and distributor has several levels capacities. A multi-mode demand strategy is considered for the customers where only one of the modes is to be selected for each customer. Considering the acceptance degree of fuzzy constraints violated, a method for solve the problem is proposed. For this aim, we proposed an order relationship for trapezoidal fuzzy numbers using their interval expectation value. According to this order relationship, the fuzzy supply chain network problem is converted to an interval supply chain network problem. Then, by combining the order relationship between intervals and acceptance degree of fuzzy constraints violated, the problem is transformed into a bi-objective program model and is solved by the global criterion method. Finally, in order to, show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, several test problems are solved in various sizes. Manuscript profile

        Punishments are constantly changing due to their variable nature. The emergence of new punishments under the title of alternative punishments to imprisonment, as well as the provision of penal institutions in the legal systems of various countries, including Iran, confirms the change and expansion of new examples of criminal responses to crime. Among these, the acceptance of new criminal responses among judicial actors is of great importance; So that in case of non-acceptance of new punishments, the implementation of new approaches to punishment in law will be ineffective. Therefore, the acceptance of punishment and its acceptance among judicial actors effective in issuing and enforcing it is becoming increasingly important; Because in different stages from the determination to the execution of punishments, different actors play a role and the attitude of each of them can affect the punishment, the type or even the principle of its execution. For this reason, it is necessary to first carefully study the concept of "acceptability of punishment" and then to address the question of what are the components of punishment and recourse or non-recourse to the various stages of the trial, from the prosecution stage to the execution stage and execution of punishments? Correctional and compassionate punishments affect. Explaining these two issues can not only be useful in identifying the challenges ahead, but also can prevent the taste of judicial actors in sentencing by unifying the attitude based on the acceptability of punishment.

        Abstract Purpose – This paper seeks to identify empirically the factors underlying the decision to adopt online banking in Tehran. Design/methodology/approach – The sample used in this study is based on 385 interactive questionnaires completed by Tehran internet users. Data were analyzed by employing correlation and multiple regression analysis. Findings – The results showed that perceived usefulness,perceived ease of use, internet experience, trust and use of other banking products positively associated with the intention to use online banking in Tehran.On the contrary demographic characteristics was found to be not significant in this study. Research limitations/implications – This study was conducted in Tehran and future research can use this model to study the adoption of online banking in other cities. Managerial implications – The results allow banks’ decision makers to develop strategies that can increase the adoption of online banking. Banks should improve the security and privacy of the websites, which will increase the trust of users. Banks should also create features which are useful to users, try to make the process of using the services easy for consumers, teach customers how to use the online services and use a package deal, such as an account with online access, debit or credit card and a SMS banking service. Originality/value – The findings allow the factors that can influence the adoption of online banking in Tehran to be understood. Unlike existing studies based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study includes internet experience, trust and use of other banking products on top of the existing variables used in TAM. Most studies on adoption of online banking are focused on developed countries. By focusing on Iran, this model can also be applied to other countries which are relatively new to e-commerce and online banking. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: In recent decades, with the advent of the Internet, e-commerce has become a tool for organizing the business model but in the meantime, the e-business world is so confusing for many newcomers. What the researcher considers is a survey of a number of factors influencing the tendency among managers or owners of small and medium enterprises in the field of acceptance of electronic businesses. Methodology: The method of this research is based on the purpose, applied and based on the method of data collection, a descriptive survey type. The statistical population consisted of managers of small and medium enterprises distributing pharmaceutical products in Tehran. Accordingly, the sample size is considered by the Cochran formula, 196 people. Due to the difficulty of accessing the managers of these companies, a non-random sampling method was used to select the statistical sample. The data-gathering tool was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by calculating the CVR index and calculating the Cronbach's alpha to determine its reliability showed that the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed. Structural equation modeling and Smart Plus software then analyzed data. Findings: The results of the test of ten hypotheses in this study showed that there is a significant relationship between managerial support, organizational management support, attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control, with a willingness to accept business. Among the technical factors, the perceived advantages and the relationship between environmental factors, suppliers' pressure and customer pressure, have a significant relationship with the acceptance of electronic business. Research Limitations: In this research, with limitations such as cross-sectional research that limits the ability to generalize outcomes, the lack of a fully relevant internal study for full coverage of the literature and theoretical framework. The most important limitation of this research can be the work and intellectual engagement of the respondents as the statistical population of the research. Therefore, the data collection by the researcher's efforts to understand the goals and potential benefits of research for them to increase the accuracy of answering questionnaire questions and lack of time free respondents were a lengthy process. Originality/Value: This study is in the subject of innovation; based on researcher's research in internal research bases, studies or studies on identifying factors affecting the behavioral tendencies of small and medium-sized enterprise managers in the field of accepting electronic businesses were not observed. Therefore, due to lack of observation of such a study, the present research can be considered as an innovation subject. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: Drawing upon the theory of trying, the purpose of this study was to investigate adoption of mobile banking among the customers of Sade rat Bank in Isfahan. In addition the moderating effect of customers’ experience with internet banking and mobile applications was conducted. Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive survey in terms of data collection. Using a questioner, the sample was selected using convenience sampling, which includes 450 bank customers who don’t use mobile banking. Out of 450 questionnaires, 400 were usable that analyzed with SPSS and Smart PLS 3. Findings and Conclusion: The findings reveal that intention of adopting mobile banking is determined by attitude toward mobile banking, which in turn is determined by attitude toward learning to use mobile banking. In addition, respondents’ past experience with internet banking and mobile applications did not have moderating effect on the relationship of attitudes and adoption intention. The result also showed that customers are interested in learning how to use mobile banking, also they have a lot of experience in using Internet and mobile applications. Therefore, the reason for customers' weakness of attitude depends not on the individuals and customers but on the performance of the bank and its infrastructure.   Manuscript profile

The paper concludes that possess of prospector managers the scope to take advantage of the high information asymmetry to inhibit TC adoption, because their stock-based compensation increases with volatility in earnings and stock returns. In contrast, managers with defending strategy obtain extensive cash-based compensation with the adoption of TC, which helps achieve much firm profits.

        Water is the major limiting factor for agriculture in an arid and semi-arid region. Demand for available water resources is fast and the competition among the various sectors of the economy for the scarce water is becoming intense. In response to these conditions, pursuing various innovative technical, institutional and policy interventions to enable the efficient, equitable and sustainable utilization of the scarce water resources. In this regard, many governments introduce new irrigation systems to address water shortage in their agriculture sectors. However, the success of such policy completely depend on farmers’ adoption and this, in turn, depends on farmers’ satisfaction.  In light of these facts, the aim of this paper is to investigate and measure farmers' satisfaction with a new irrigation system that ultimately leads to a better understanding of why farmers adopt or reject new irrigation system. To achieve these goals, the survey method is applied as a research method. The statistical populations were farmers who adopted the new irrigation system in Behbehan Township in Khuzestan province in southern Iran. Data were collected using a researcher made questionnaire. Validity questionnaires were approved by a panel of expert and its reliability was approved by a pilot study (0.81-0.94). Structural equation modeling showed that farmers’ satisfaction mainly was determined by value followed by perceived quality. The findings yield public policy and marketing recommendations for stimulating the adoption of new irrigation systems among farmers.

        Due to adverse effect of chemical fertilizers overconsumption, bio-fertilizers have been considered as an alternative or supplementary input. However, sustainable consumption of bio-fertilizers is dependent to their adoption by farmers. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study was to examine the impact of bio-fertilizers perceived innovation characteristics on intention to use them in Yengijeh village in Zanjan County. The statistical population consisted of 313 farmers working in this village from which 165 farmers were chosen through convenience sampling. A questionnaire was applied to gather data that its reliability and face validity was examined, respectively by computing Cronbach Alfa and a panel of expert. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the data. Results revealed that among five bio-fertilizers’ innovation perceived characteristics (compatibility, complexity, trial ability, observability and relative advantage), only observability had positive significant impact on intention to use these fertilizers. It seems that the observability of bio-fertilizers in comparison with other innovation characteristics can be achieved without need for any action to be taken through environmental indicators and informal relationships. Thus, intention to use bio-fertilizers can be predicted by characteristics that easily and without extra effort can be understood. Manuscript profile

        In 1955 Geoffrey Gorer condemned the new western society to avoid acknowledging the reality of the death. For him in the new western society death is thought of as a forbidden thing, namely something that should to be hidden and laid aside from the public opinion. The new man by feigning ignorance of the death and dying, try to make it far from him or her. Medical centers and burial institutions support this attitude and attempt to show that in human’s life the death does not enjoy of any essential reality. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross was one of the thinkers that believe that this attitude should to be change and that the denial of death is placed by its acceptance. Kubler-Ross begun her work by the book On Death and Dying (1969). In her book, by appealing to empirical observations, she claims that terminally ill patients when are faced with the reality of their impending death, through a mechanism of five stages can arrive at the acceptance of their death. These stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and eventually the acceptance. This theory or model from the time of its appearance was the subject of many critiques such as not making use of previous researches done on the topic of death and dying, ambiguity in the five stages, limitations of method of gathering information, not to pay attentions to individual differences and also to the impact of environment on the person. However, Kubler-Ross' theory played a crucial role in the field of thanatological studies and debates so that nowadays she is known as the greatest cotemporary thanatologist. Manuscript profile

        Jus Cogens norms of international law are among the key concepts cotibuting the development of international law. These norms stand out among other international norms because they uphold the fundamental values of the international community; contrary to mutual international obligations, these norms are owed by and in the interest of all states. Although there is no uncertainty regarding the concept of Jus Cogens norms in the international law literature, the identification parameters and contents of such norms have always been subject to debate.  Therefore, it is both controversial and difficult to explain the nature of Jus Cogens norms and develop an effective solution to identify them. This descriptive-analytical desk research seeks to answer this question: What criteria could be helpful in identifying such norms against the backdrop of international law? And consequently which Jus Cogens norms belong to the realm of international environmental law. To shed light on how to correctly identify Jus Cogens norms, this study proposes and examines two criteria: the 'rule of general international law" and the "acceptance and recognition". The results show that some principles of international environmental law, despite the fact that have the potential to become Jus Cogens norms, they have not been able to achieve that status, yet.

        The purpose of the study was to investigate the predicting role of self-efficacy and social support in addiction admission among university students. In terms of purpose, this study was a basic research; and in terms of data collection, it was an ex post facto descriptive research. Using multistage cluster sampling method, 296 (153 female and 147 male) students were selected from University of Tehran and they were asked to complete Perceived Multidimensional Social Support (Zimet et al., 1980), Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer &amp; Jerusalem, 1995), and Addiction Admission Scale (Weed et al., 1992). Results of stepwise regression analysis showed that total social support and self-efficacy can equally explain four percent of variance in addiction admission (p=0/003). In addition, among social support subscales, family support can explain six percent of variance in addiction admission (p=0/006). However, friend and significant others components did not have a significant role in the prediction. Therefore, focusing on family-oriented and individual-based approaches in addiction prevention may be more advantageous as compared to community-based approaches. Manuscript profile

        Soil-based architecture is one of the ancient construction techniques and a part of the valuable originality of architecture, engaged with its wisdom, whose experience of its usage has undergone various changes over time. The purpose of this research is to understand the current public acceptability of using soil-based architecture in Yazd city and the set of different factors affecting it. The research approach is quantitative, and its nature is applied, along with the use of deductive reasoning logic and popular public acceptability measurement models such as the 'UTAUT' model and the 'theory of planned behavior'. The method of data analysis is quantitative and includes a set of descriptive and inferential statistical tests such as the mean difference test and linear regression. The research data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire with a statistical population of 400 people, using the random sampling method. Based on the descriptive findings of the research, the variable of awareness has the lowest score (1.75), and the variable of perceived usefulness of the environment (3.90) has obtained the highest score. Additionally, the behavioral index of the use of soil architecture in the city of Yazd has an average score lower than the middle limit of the Likert scale (2.71). Moreover, sixteen independent variables have a correlation coefficient with the dependent variable of behavior, and six independent variables have a statistically significant influence coefficient (r2 = 0.625) on the dependent variable. 'Perceived ease,' 'individual characteristics,' 'behavioral attitudes,' 'experience,' and 'perceived usefulness' in the 'structural engineering dimension' had the highest impact coefficient among this set of variables.

        &nbsp;Introduction: Divorce is one of the stressful experiences of the family that can lead to conflict and incompatibility between couples. The purpose of this research was to Comparing the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and schema therapy on tolerance of uncertainty of divorced women referring to welfare. Methods: The method of this research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population consists of all the women who referred to the welfare of Tabriz city in the second half of 1402-1401, of which 60 people were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (20 people in each group) by random sampling. The pre-test and post-test were conducted after the treatment interventions based on acceptance and commitment and schema therapy. McLean's tolerance of uncertainty questionnaire (1993) was used to collect data and multivariate analysis of covariance test was used to analyze the hypotheses. Results: The results showed that both interventions were effective on the tolerance of uncertainty variable (p&lt;0.05). According to the results of the present study, there was a difference between the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and schema therapy in the dependent variable, and the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy was more than schema therapy. Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the treatment based on acceptance and commitment plays a role in increasing the tolerance of uncertainty and improving the condition of divorced women.Extended AbstractIntroductionDivorced women are among the most vulnerable groups in society, who face mental, psychological, social, economic and cultural difficulties and disabilities. Divorce is the most common manifestation of severe conflict, and more than half of the couples who seek counseling end up getting divorced. According to official statistics in Iran, out of every 1000 marriages, about 200 cases lead to divorce. According to the statistics of the Civil Registration Organization of the country in 2019, the growth rate of divorce in Iran was about 3.6% compared to 2018. Therefore, divorce is the most important threat to the foundation of the family, and it is very important to pay attention to issues related to divorce and women who suffer from it. It is clear that divorce is one of the factors that cause disruption and confusion in people's lives. The decision to divorce is the result of intense internal pressure (such as ambiguity tolerance) on at least one spouse, which may occur through unmet needs. Divorce occurs when couples fail to meet the attachment needs of security, safety, and satisfaction of each other, that is, the ambiguity and confusion of marital relations represents the failure of couples to establish a relationship with a secure attachment style. In this regard, one of the variables that is important in divorced people is tolerance of ambiguity. Ambiguity tolerance is defined as how people process, interpret and react to information from stimuli that are considered ambiguous. A person who has a high tolerance for ambiguity does not feel threatened or difficult in adapting to a new and fresh environment, because he has accepted the existence of a degree of ambiguity as one of the principlesof life and knows that our information is never complete for decision-making, and with patience and Boredom can recognize the ambiguous situation and find a solution, and divorced women probably feel more ambiguity and have less tolerance for ambiguity due to psychological disturbances. Also, most divorced women feel uncertainty and uncertainty about their future life and feel weak in the face of problems. This research uses treatment based on commitment and acceptance and schema therapy. Considering the importance of the ambiguity tolerance component in divorced women and considering that the psychological damage caused by divorce in women occurs chronically; This raises the need for psychological interventions. According to the above researches, the present study wants to answer the question that among the methods of treatment based on acceptance and commitment (ACT) and schema therapy, which one is more effective in tolerating the ambiguity of divorced women who refer to welfare?MethodologyThe method of this research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population consists of all the women who referred to the welfare of Tabriz city in the second half of 1402-1401, of which 60 people were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (20 people in each group) by random sampling. (Matched by gender, age range and educational and economic conditions). The pre-test and post-test were conducted after the treatment interventions based on acceptance and commitment and schema therapy. McLean's tolerance of uncertainty questionnaire (1993) was used to collect data and multivariate analysis of covariance test was used to analyze the hypotheses.ResultsThe number of 20 people in the intervention group of acceptance and commitment therapy and 20 people in the intervention group of schema therapy and 20 control people with mean (standard deviation) age of 28.87 (2.71) and 29.24 (2.93) respectively. and 31/63 (3/32) participated in this research. The default check of homogeneity of variances is established to tolerance of uncertainty (F=0.420, P=0.659). The Mbox test value was equal to 2.71, the corresponding significance level was equal to 0.51, and the assumption of homogeneity of variance-covariance matrices was established (p&lt;0.001).&nbsp;Table 1: Mean and standard deviation of tolerance of uncertainty by group and timeTable 1 showed that the average tolerance of uncertainty in the acceptance and commitment group was 22.85 in the pre-test, which increased to 47.50 in the post-test. In the schema therapy group, the average score in the pre-test was 28.95, which increased to 42.90 in the post-test. In the control group, the average in the pre-test was 24.25, which increased to 26.55 in the post-test.Table 2: The results of the analysis of covariance in order to compare the effectiveness of the two interventions of acceptance and commitment and schema therapy on the scale of tolerance of uncertaintyThe results of Table 2 showed that there was a significant difference in the effectiveness of the two intervention methods of acceptance and commitment and schema therapy on tolerance of uncertainty (p&lt;0.05). The significance level of the analysis of covariance test showed the difference in the effectiveness of the two intervention methods on tolerance of uncertainty.Table 3: Comparison of the adjusted means of the tolerance of uncertainty scale in the groups with the LSD testThe results showed that the adjusted average of tolerance of uncertainty in the acceptance and commitment group was 48.24 and in the schema therapy group it was 42.15, and the average of the acceptance and commitment group was 6.09 points higher than the schema therapy group and this difference was statistically significant and showed that the effectiveness of the acceptance and commitment intervention on tolerance of uncertainty was greater than the schema therapy intervention (p&lt;0.05).&nbsp;DiscussionExamining the findings of the research showed that there is a difference between the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and schema therapy on the tolerance of uncertainty of divorced women referring to welfare, and the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy was more than schema therapy. The findings of the present study are consistent with previous studies (Aghili, kashiri, 2022).ConclusionThe results of the present study show that the treatment based on acceptance and commitment plays a role in increasing the tolerance of uncertainty and improving the condition of divorced women and can have implications for social support for these people.Finally, non-implementation of follow-up due to time constraints, small number of samples and targeted sampling method were among the limitations of the present study. It is suggested that in order to increase the generalizability of the findings, similar researches should be conducted considering long-term follow-up periods, with a larger number of samples and using possible sampling. According to the findings, it is suggested that therapeutic intervention based on acceptance and commitment be used as a beneficial intervention to improve and increase tolerance of uncertainty of divorced women in welfare and treatment centers.&nbsp;AcknowledgmentsWe hereby express our thanks and appreciation to the honorable directorate of Tabriz welfare admission, and all those who helped us in this research.&nbsp;FundingThe present research is taken from the doctoral thesis of the second author "Sajjad Alamardani Someeh" and without financial support.Ethics Approval and Consent to Participate"This article is extracted from the specialized doctoral thesis of the first author in Tabriz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tabriz, Iran" and has the code of ethics IR.IAU.TABRIZ.REC.1401.307 from the Ethics Committee of Tabriz Islamic Azad University Medical Sciences Branch.&nbsp;Conflict of interestsThe authors declare that there is no conflict of interest in this article.&nbsp;RefferencesAbu-Ras, R.,&nbsp; &amp; Itzhaki-Braun, Y.

        The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Bowenian family therapy and acceptance and commitment-based therapy on differentiation of mothers with one child. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with two experimental groups and a control group. The statistical population of the study included mothers of preschool single children in Kermanshah kindergartens in 2020. A total of 45 people were selected by simple random sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group, equal to 15 people. Data were collected in pretest-posttest stages with Skowron (1998) differentiation scale. After performing the pre-test, the members of the experimental group participated separately in eight weekly 1.5-hour sessions of Bowenian family therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Covariance analysis and Bonferroni post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The results of analysis of covariance showed that the effect of Bowenian family therapy and the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on differentiation in individuals is significant and stable (P&lt;0.05). The results of Bonferroni test showed that due to the size of the differences, the effectiveness of Bowenian family therapy in comparison with other interventions on increasing differentiation and related components was higher.

        mental health as an important factor of human development is comprising of&nbsp; many components&nbsp; such as pure thinking , ability of coping with problems, ability of having relation with others, selfawareness and purposefulness . Among mental health variables, selfesteem and social acceptances seem more important. With respect to multidimensional aspects of the issue, some investigators studied the effect of religion on this area. Bergen (1988), for example, suggested that the religion is the origin of purposive and meaningful life, and Jensen (1993) by investigating on 3835 students noted that increasing in religious beliefs has a positive and meaningful relationship with selfrespect and emotional development. Also other researchers such as Rasi (1384) and Majdian (1383) have noted this. According to this, the present research tries to study the effect of e,tekaf on mental health variables.&nbsp; Method: the present study is a quasi-experimental one, with pretestposttest design that performed in the first semester of 1385-86. Two tests were used, Rosenberg&rsquo;s self-esteem scale, (reliability 0.81 according to alpha choronbach) and crown &amp; Marlow social acceptance scale (0.74). Tests performed pre and post of the meeting and finally 100 questionnaires were analyzed.&nbsp; Results: results showed that this religious meeting result in increasing in self-esteem of girls (p&lt;0.038). But the difference of social acceptance was not meaningful. According to these findings, attending in this and similar meetings can improve mental health variables.&nbsp; Key words: mental health, self-esteem, social acceptance, students.&nbsp;&nbsp; Manuscript profile

        New technologies have made it possible to make fundamental changes to the banking system and financial processes. Banks use new technologies based on their own circumstances, including the level of training and readiness of customers. In the meantime, the lack of a clear understanding of the level of adoption of bank customers from digital services is a key issue for the banking industry. Recent research does not measure the view of both users of technology that includes bank customers. One of the major challenges facing banks today is the accurate understanding of factors affecting user behavior. Therefore, this paper has been conducted with the aim of investigating the factors affecting the intention to use the customer in the banking system. The research model is based on technology acceptance model and theory of planned behavior. This is an applied research. Data were collected through a survey of 200 questionnaires distributed among users at the Mehr Bank Branches of North Khorasan Province. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were analyzed by SPSS and Amos softwares. The results of the analysis show that the effect of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the confirmation attitude and the effect of attitude and perceived usefulness of the intention to use in the customer is direct and significant and the effect of behavioral control on the intention to use, is significant and inverse. But the effect of subjective norms on intention to use is not confirmed. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, the banking industry has been forced to change from traditional banking to e-banking due to the developments in information and communication technologies. Therefore, recognizing its needs and behaviors and predicting them to respond in a timely manner can help strengthen and maintain the customer relationship (to become a competitive advantage). But creating customer acceptance of e-banking services is still a challenge for the banking system (which has a direct impact on the profitability of banking activities). Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to present a model of customer behavior in the acceptance and use of e-banking services. In this cross-sectional study, first, in the qualitative part of the researchers in an exploratory manner, based on a comprehensive model of technology adoption, the experts tried to identify the factors of technology acceptance and its dimensions. After applying the content analysis technique to identify the dimensions and concepts, the relationships between them and the conceptual model were extracted using Maxqda software. In this section, "trust in the bank", "perceived security", "ease of use" as affecting dimensions of "perceived risk" and "perceived desirability", "impact on society", "prior knowledge " as affecting dimensions. Then, in the quantitative part of the model, it was evaluated using the e-banking customer feedback. The results of structural equation modeling analysis through PLS software showed that among the relationships defined, "knowledge" had the least effect and "perceived utility" had the highest effect on "behavioral intentions". "Perceived risk" was defined as an independent variable in this model. Manuscript profile

        In civil procedure code enacted in 1931, the legislator, was not accepted the witness of sanguinity or causal relationship of the third degree from the second floor. With approval of civil procedure code enacted in 2000, the legislator is silent about witness of relatives. Therefore, the question arises as to whether, despite the silence of the civil procedure code enacted in 2000, as well as relatives with one of the parties, prevented the acceptance of the witness or not. It seems, due to intentional silence of legislator in the new code of civil procedure, it shall be sentenced to a change of the legislator's idea and acceptance of the relatives' witness. However, the legislator in Article 154 of the criminal procedure code enacted in 1999 (Article 209 of the new code of criminal procedure), the judge shall be to question about the degree of sanguinity or causal relationship between witness and informed with the litigants. The sentence of criminal procedure code raises this question that if the witness of relatives in Iran's legal system is acceptable, what's the point of the question of the parties with respect to existence or nonexistence of the relationship. And if the lack of relationship, in the witness is required, why not raised under the terms of witness? Manuscript profile

        This research aimed at designing a model for the acceptance of innovation-based services of umbilical cord blood banks as a new approach in health marketing. It is an exploratory qualitative research based on the grounded theory and heuristic analysis. The research data were obtained through interview with a sample of 18 marketing professors and 20 customers of the Royan Institute Umbilical Cord Blood Bank who were selected based on theoretical saturation. The gleaned data were analyzed through open, axial and selective coding. To enhance research validity, the process of data coding was carried out under the supervision of 3 service marketing experts whose suggestions were applied. Moreover, the inter-rater reliability of the coding process and concept-mining was checked by asking another marketing expert to code the data whose findings revealed acceptable levels of reliability. Further, the importance of dimensions, entities and indexes of the model in each group was determined via Delphi method under the supervision of professors. The findings revealed a hierarchical conceptual model for acceptance of innovative services with 7 dimensions, including the quality of services, the characteristics of services, perception of acceptors, individual factors, innovation features, reference groups and sources of information, 22 entities and 93 indexes.

        Frost is one of the natural events whose early and late occurrence can affect different aspects of human life. Therefore, this research has been carried out with the aim of predicting the atmospheric factors of this phenomenon with an environmental approach. For this purpose, the environmental data related to the daily minimum temperature of 2001-2017 for 9 synoptic stations located in Ardabil, Urmia and Tabriz provinces were obtained from the Meteorological Organization of the whole country and the days with temperature below 0 degrees Celsius that cover 40% of the studied area in were selected and using the ward hierarchical clustering method that was applied on the average sea level pressure maps related to ice days, the classification of the free days was done. In order to determine the representative of each class using scripting in the MATLAB environment, Lund's correlation was calculated between the maps of different days of each class of 2 to 5 groups with a coefficient of 0.5; And the days that had a correlation coefficient of 0.5 and the most similarity with the majority of days of that class were introduced as the representative of the group. After determining the representative day, atmospheric data was prepared from the Nova site and maps of sea level pressure, geopotential height, wind vector, temperature of 500 hPa and atmospheric thickness were drawn in Gurdes software. The results of the 4 patterns for ice days showed that the most effective systems on the northwest of Iran were high pressure systems in Siberia, low pressure systems near the Arctic and high pressure systems in Northern Europe, and the studied areas were located in the front of Faraz and the negative circulation of air brought stable conditions. In most of these patterns, the western winds that have moved in the polar ice channel have brought cold air from the northern latitudes into the atmosphere of the study areas and caused low air temperatures.

        considered one of the important issues in the field of organizational studies, among which Technology Acceptance Model of Davis provides a suitable framework to identify the most important affecting variables. Using this approach, this study was conducted with correlational method aiming to show the external variables affecting the dimensions of perceived usefulness and ease of use, as two dimensions of information acceptance model.&nbsp; There is little research on this model in organizational context. Thus to develop the model, this study has focused on job relevance as a moderator between perceived ease influence on acceptance intentions and perceived usefulness. In addition, experience variable has been considered as an external variable. The statistical population was West Azerbaijan agricultural extension experts (N=180), among whom 120 people were selected&nbsp;randomly using the Krejcie&nbsp;and Morgan table. The required data were collected via questionnaire. The face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed&nbsp;by a panel of experts. The Chronbach's&nbsp;alpha coefficient was between 0.730 and 0.816 for different dimensions of questionnaire. The partial least squares method as a new approach to structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The results showed that experience variable had significant effect on perceived usefulness and it was able to explain 77% variance of perceived usefulness. Furthermore, technology acceptance model in this study could predict 71% of the real use. Manuscript profile

        The current study aimed to looking for the impact of individual, organizational and cultural variables in the adoption of information technology among teachers in the form of causal modeling. This study is placed among the causal modeling, which contains the path analysis and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study was one district high school teachers in the city of Urmia with the 260 persons. Based on Krejcie and Morgan table 150 persons of them were selected by cluster sampling method. Therefore they responded the questionnaire which consists of these subscales: decide to use, expected performance, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions, individualism/ collectivism, uncertainty avoidance and power distance, and masculinity/ femininity. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling based on partial least squares (PLS) and one sample t test was used to check the status of cultural and organizational components. Findings showed performance and effort expectancy, and social influence had positive and significant effect on the decision to use information technology. Facilitating conditions and masculinity/ femininity had positive effect on use behavior. Also the effects of uncertainty avoidance and power distance were negative and significant. But the effect of individualism/ collectivism on these variables was not significant. Finally the tested model predicted 27% of variance in intention to computer use and 19% of use behavior.

        Organic farming is the best method for the production of healthy agricultural products. The current research is a descriptive-survey study focused on correlation and comparison. In this research, data were collected by a research made questionnaire and that its validity was confirmed by a panel of experts, and its reliability was measured through Cronbach's alpha formula (0.907). The relationships between independent and the dependent variables were determined by Pearson's correlation coefficient. The statistical population of this research consisted of 50 experts and 100 paddy farmers of Sowme'eh Sara county that were selected by random sampling procedures. The results of this investigation showed a relationship between the dependent and independent variables and thus it was confirmed (P &lt; 0.05) that the impact of the three independent variables was significant on dependent variable at 0.95 level. As a result, all factors as independent variables were effective on the rejection of organic farming. Pearson correlation test showed that all hypotheses were confirmed. Duncan&rsquo;s test also indicated that there was a significant difference in terms of the rejection of organic farming of rice among the existing factors namely individual characteristics, social factors and economic factors.

        Introduction: Since one-third of the country's population lives in 141,000 hectares of worn-out areas, the regeneration of these textures is one of the main concerns of the country. However, the plans to organize these textures have always been one of the most challenging urban programs, and it is difficult or almost impossible to find successful examples among them. One of the main reasons for this is people's skepticism about the results of such plans and the low acceptance rate of innovation.Research Aim: It seems that if these projects are implemented in appropriate and selected places and their positive and useful effects are tangible to the people, the acceptance of new approaches will be accelerated and the cost of implementing the projects will be reduced while their success will be guaranteed.Methodology: The study method was descriptive and analytical and the required data were collected using a questionnaire from a sample of 300 experts, local officials, and ordinary people. The collected data were analyzed using different statistics with the help of SPSS software and TOPSIS model.Studied Areas: The present study was conducted in the city of Torbat Heydariyeh. This city has the highest distressed urban testures but the least study has been done about it.Results: The results of the analysis of research findings show that the index of economic status of encouraging residents to accept the regeneration plan, is in the first place with an average of 3.06, the index of cultural categories is in the second place with an average of 2.99, and finally the index of social dimensions is in the third place with an average of 2.79. The findings showed that the best starting point for the regeneration project in this city is the Shahid Bahonar neighborhood, which has the highest score among the other three neighborhoods, and in Veblen's theory, it is the reference group.Conclusion: If city officials focus on this neighborhood instead of implementing the project in all distressed areas, and achieve deliverable results, the implementation costs will be significantly reduced while increasing the probability of success of the project.

        The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of acceptance-based treatment and commitment to interdependence, loneliness and documentary styles of addicts' wives. The present study was a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest with control group and from the perspective of the purpose, the research was applied. The statistical population of the study consisted of all wives of drug addicts in Tehran. The sample of the present study was based on objective sampling based on available sampling including 30 subjects (15 subjects in each group, 15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group). The research instruments were Spen-Fisher questionnaire (1991), loneliness questionnaire, document style styles, and adherence-based adherence-based therapy package. Data were analyzed by repeated measures of covariance and Bonferrini test. . Findings showed that considering the fact that the level of significance is smaller than &alpha;, also considering that the effect of pre-test was covariate by covariance test, it can be concluded that in the context of the variables of dependency, loneliness and documentary styles, Treatment based on admission and commitment has been significantly effective. Also, considering all the three variables, we can conclude that the experimental intervention has led to changes in the experimental group. So the treatment affected the decrease in dependency and loneliness and the change in the style of the documents. Manuscript profile

        سرزمین پهناور ایران به دلیل قرار گرفتن در کمربند خشکی جهان، همواره با مشکل با کم آبی مواجه بوده است. در چنین شرایطی در بخش کشاورزی به عنوان بزرگترین و مهمترین مصرف کننده آب، باید اقداماتی در جهت افزایش بهره وری و بهبود بازده آبیاری از طریق گسترش فناوری های آب اندوز صورت گیرد. از این رو هدف از مطالعه حاضر، بررسی عوامل مؤثر بر توسعه و پذیرش آبیاری بارانی از سوی کشاورزان شهرستان فامنین می باشد. رویکرد غالب تحقیق پیمایشی است. جامعه آماری مورد مطالعه شامل کشاورزان شهرستان فامنین است که با استفاده از فرمول کوکران، تعداد 280 نفر از آنها از طریق نمونه گیری طبقه ای-تصادفی چند مرحله ای و به تعداد مساوی از میان کشاورزان پذیرنده و نپذیرنده سیستم آبیاری بارانی انتخاب شدند. به منظور سنجش روایی پرسشنامه از نظر کارشناسان مربوطه استفاده شده و برای سنجش پایایی پرسشنامه، آماره آلفای کرونباخ به کار رفته که مقدار آن 82 درصد به دست آمده است. نتایج به دست آمده نشان می دهد که عوامل محیطی از قبیل سطح زیر کشت، وضعیت دسترسی به آب، کیفیت آب و عوامل غیر محیطی از قبیل تعداد نیروی کار خانوادگی، تنوع شغلی، شرکت در دوره های آموزشی و دانش فنی کشاورزان در زمینه مدیریت آب زراعی در پذیرش سیستم آبیاری بارانی تأثیر داشته اند و در نهایت مدل لاجیت تخمین زده شده است. همچنین کشاورزان پذیرنده طرح، عدم توجه به آموزش زارعان در مورد طریقۀ نگهداری بعد از اجرا و توجیه علمی و عملی آنها، در دسترس نبودن تعمیرکاران کارآمد، طراحی و اجرای نامناسب سیستم توسط شرکت ها، کیفیت پایین قطعات و اتصالات، گرفتگی آب پاش ها به دلیل شوری آب، عدم تناسب با شرایط محیطی، دشواری استفاده از ماشین آلات و اشغال مساحت زیاد توسط این سیستم ها، حمل و نقل سیستم، کمبود قطعات، نبود امنیت و سرقت قطعات و اتصالات و مالکیت اشتراکی منابع آب را به عنوان عوامل نارضایتی از تکنولوژی آبیاری بارانی مطرح کرده اند.

        ریسک‌های کشاورزی جزو چالش‌های مهم در نیجریه هستند. درنتیجه، نمی‌توان به راحتی از کنار اهمیت بیمة کشاورزی در مدیریت ریسک‌های مزرعه گذشت. با توجه به اینکه زیربخش محصولات زراعی حدود 85 درصد GDP کشاورزی در نیجریه را تشکیل می‌دهد، در این مطالعه به دنبال بررسی آگاهی و عوامل مؤثر بر افزایش پذیرش بیمة کشاورزی توسط کشاورزان نیجریه هستیم. داده‌ها براساس یک برنامة مصاحبه از 310 کشاورزی جمع‌آوری شدند که به صورت تصادفی از سه منطقة اگرواکولوژیکی نیجریه انتخاب شده بودند. سپس این داده‌ها توسط فراوانی و درصد مورد تحلیل قرار گرفتند. اکثر کشاورزانی که از بیمة کشاورزی آگاه بودند (7/82 درصد) از آن استفاده نمی‌کردند. عوامل بازدارندة اصلی که ذکر شدند عبارتند از پیچیدگی روش‌ها (2/70 درصد)، دسترسی (9/64 درصد)، بهای بالا (2/63 درصد) و ملاحظات مذهبی/اخلاقی (2/41 درصد). ازنظر پاسخ‌دهنده‌ها مهمترین عوامل برانگیزاننده عبارتند از افزایش دسترسی محلی به دفاتر بیمة کشاورزی (4/88 درصد)، افزایش گرایش برای دریافت خسارت (1/87 درصد) و کاهش روش‌های بوروکراتیک (7/79 درصد). در این مطالعه، به این نتیجه می‌رسیم که آگاهی در میان عوامل اصلی تعیین‌کنندة پذیرش بیمة کشاورزی در نیجریه نیست. براساس نتایج پیشنهاد می‌شود که روش‌ها باید ساده‌سازی بشوند و دفاتر بیمة کشاورزی باید در هر منطقه در دسترس کشاورزان باشند. همچنین باید روش‌های بیمه بازطراحی بشوند تا کشاورزانی که به خاطر ملاحظات مذهبی/اخلاقی از پذیرش بیمة کشاورزی سربازمی‌زنند، نسبت به آن تشویق شوند.

        We are living in the information age.&nbsp; In this age, one of the important criteria for determination of the development of societies is Information and Science Production. It means the rate of the works and scientific articles that are indexed in ISI (Institution for Scientific Information) by the researchers of the country. Base on this meaning,&nbsp;&nbsp; each year ISI determines Countries' Scientific ranking; regarding their Science Productions. Recently, the scientific rating of researchers and authors were determined by their scientific rating on ISI in universities and research centers around the world, so researchers and authors struggle with improving their scientific rating for obtaining job opportunities and getting applied to authoritative universities in the world. This matter has been regarded strongly among Iranian researchers (especially, students and young researchers), so that to get acceptance from journals with high ranking in ISI. This article decides to help these researchers with introducing ISI main criteria of article writing. This article has been written for authors who (from all fields) know writing basically but want to write in a level that it would be indexed by ISI and help them to get a high position by citing to their articles. So this article is arranged by the article components ( such as; title , abstract , &hellip;) and the writing important points with&nbsp; ISI criteria for each component of article that has been explained in detailed&nbsp; with regarding Iranian authors weak points in writing articles scientifically. Thus among introducing and referring to the criteria of ISI for determining the authors and journals scientific ranking, this criteria for providing each component of article has survived; and was defined by discussion direct relation between them . ISI criteria has been based on powerful and logical reasons and so there are direct and logical relation between the ISI criteria for writing of the article components and Information Literacy. Thus authors notified that one of the important weak points of Iranian researchers in getting acceptance from the high ranking ISI journals for publishing their articles is lack of Information Literacy. so this article suggests that schools, colleges, research centers, and institutions must improve their students or researchers Information Literacy by starting the education courses of Information Literacy and essay writing scientifically based on ISI criteria.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The mediating role of perceived parental acceptance as related to spousal acceptance and its psychological outcomes was investigated. 120 married female students selected from Tehran universities completed the Intimate Partner AcceptanceRejection &amp; Control (Rohner &amp; Khaleque, 2005), Parental Acceptance- Rejection and Control (Mother and Father version; Rohner &amp; Khaleque, 2005) and Personality Assessment Questionnaire (Rohner &amp; Khaleque, 2005). Results revealed that paternal, maternal and acceptance-rejection and behavioral control each independently and significantly predict psychological adjustment, however, only paternal and spouse acceptance, and behavioral control of father significantly predicted psychological adjustment after the effect of other variables in women were controlled. Also, the behavioral control of mother and spouse was no more significantly predictive of psychological adjustment of women than their acceptance and rejection. The results posit that although the parental role in psychological adjustment of women is significant but spouse acceptance could moderate its effects, especially the mother&rsquo;s role. Therefore, future experiences could alter the effects of perceived parental acceptance-rejection. Manuscript profile

        Difficulty in regulating emotional excitement and anxiety sensitivity are two key factors in social anxiety disorder. In examining the underlying mechanisms of the disorder, the researchers concluded that avoiding experiencing emotions, thoughts, and moving away from valuable life goals, strengthens the psychological inflexibility of the social context and behavioral functions of therapists. The aim of this study was to review the hexagonal model of psychological flexibility, compassion-based therapy, functional analytical psychotherapy and matrix therapy for acceptance and commitment to social anxiety disorder and other anxiety disorders. For this purpose, in a review study, published articles on the treatment of social anxiety disorder were reviewed in Scopus databases from 1997 to 2019. What seems to be the model of treatment of acceptance and commitment and compassion therapy is effective in reducing social anxiety disorder. The results of this study support the difficulty of regulating emotional excitement and anxiety sensitivity in social anxiety disorder. It seems that avoiding experiencing emotions, thoughts, and moving away from the valuable goals of life, strengthens the psychological flexibility in the social context and behavioral functions of therapists.

        Abstract Individual differences, especially gender and age, in the use of technology, have long been one of the basic questions in determining the factors affecting the use of technology. According to the use of different models of acceptance, among available studies, an agent role and an independent role for individual characteristics have been considered. Since the existing literature is carried out in different cognitive contexts and on a variety of technologies, there is no agreement on the modulating or independent impact of gender and age. Accordingly, this study aimed to study both roles of these changes on a sample of 335 Islamic Azad University students who were selected collaboratively and was conducted on the technology of using the Internet on mobile phones. The data was collected using the technology acceptance questionnaire of Davis (1989) which was adapted to the mobile internet technology and its validity was confirmed. Data analysis is done using a t-test and analysis of variance (to determine the different roles of changes and a linear regression test to determine the role of adjustments. The results show a stronger role of gender on the components of perceived usefulness, behavioral intention, and behavior While the independent role of age only on the component of receiving meaningful usefulness and age showed its effect concerning usefulness and intention and changing the intention of behavior using mobile internet technology. These results showed the complexity of the role of individual differences in influence in technology adoption. proposed and suggests taking both mediating and independent roles of these changes in the use of technology models in research.
