One effective approach to promote recycling in waste management is to educate individuals on waste separation at its source. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of waste segregation training on the environmental attitudes of female members of Isfahan Municipality Cultural Centers. This study is practical in its purpose and follows a two-stage exploratory research design, utilizing a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative). The first stage involved qualitative research, where a waste segregation training package was developed based on thematic analysis. The second stage was quantitative, aiming to determine the effectiveness of the waste segregation training. In the quantitative phase, a semi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design was conducted. Sixty female members of cultural centers in Isfahan city were selected and assigned to experimental and control groups. Data analysis was performed using SPSS23 software. The results revealed a significant difference in the environmental attitude variable between the control and experimental groups in both the post-test and follow-up phases (p < 0.001). The average environmental attitude scores in both the post-test and follow-up stages were higher in the experimental group than the control group. Considering the study's findings and the importance of waste management, we recommend that the government and high-level officials provide financial support for environmental training programs in society. Environmental education, particularly waste separation education, supports environmental preservation and leads to substantial savings in energy consumption. Manuscript profile -

It is difficult to achieve these goals simultaneously in specific types of crimes such as terrorism and security crimes. Due to inadequate general criminal procedure rules in this area, legislators have been forced to adopt a differential criminal policy in this regard. The stage of being in custody, which- due to its special characteristics- brings to mind the possibility of violating the suspect's rights more than any other stage, has also been subject to differential approaches. Having a differential approach to the suspect's rights in custody for specific crimes, the criminal justice systems of France and the United States designate special officers, extend the custody period, communicate the suspect’s accusations and its evidence as well as his/her defence rights, and restrict the free involvement of the suspect’s attorney. In criminal justice system of Iran, Unforeseen differentiation approach in law but this procedure in jurisprudence and circular is a important challenge. Meanwhile, due to the numerous reforms and the influence of the European Convention on Human Rights, the differential approach of the criminal justice system of France has achieved a more appropriate balance between the suspect's rights and the right to security.

Methodology – Survey method. The study was conducted in Babol. The data collection method used is the cluster sampling method, using an age-based sample of educated, middle-aged consumers (aged 35-60 years old). The survey contained two sections on the age decade scale and on a 5-point Likert scale. Findings – The findings revealed that there is a strong negative relationship between cognitive age and status consumption. The results suggested that educated, middle-aged consumers who feel cognitively young will be more motivated to consume for status and that this relationship is moderated by both brand awareness and price consciousness. Research Limitations – Given the focus on educated, middle-aged consumers, generalizations beyond this age group should be undertaken with some reservation. We cannot generalize the results of this research and apply it to the nation as a whole, because of the cultural and religious factors that come in to play, changing the variables. Managerial implications – A study of this nature will help to shape marketers’ approach to attract educated, middle-aged consumers. Marketers should shift their focus away from regarding older consumers as old since older consumers tend to view themselves as younger than their chronological age. Originality/value – This paper investigates the role of educated, middle-aged consumers’ cognitive age in their status consumption. It extends the research by looking at the moderating effects of brand awareness and price consciousness on the relationship between educated, middle-aged consumers’ cognitive age and status consumption.

Methodology – Survey method. The study was conducted in Babol. The data collection method used is cluster sampling technique, using an age-based sample of educated, middle-aged consumers (aged 35-60 years old). The survey contained two sections on the age decade scale and on a 5-point Likert scale. Findings – The findings revealed that there is a strong negative relationship between cognitive age and status consumption. The results suggested that educated, middle-aged consumers who feel cognitively young will be more motivated to consume for status and that this relationship is moderated by both brand awareness and price consciousness. Research Limitations – Given the focus on educated, middle-aged consumers, generalizations beyond this age group should be undertaken with some reservation. We cannot generalize the results of this research and apply it to the nation as a whole, because of the cultural and religious factors that come in to play, changing the variables. Managerial Implications – A study of this nature will help to shape marketers’ approach to attract educated, middle-aged consumers. Marketers should shift their focus away from regarding older consumers as old since older consumers tend to view themselves as younger than their chronological age. Originality/Value – This paper investigates the role of educated, middle-aged consumers’ cognitive age in their status consumption. It extends the research by looking at the moderating effects of brand awareness and price consciousness on the relationship between educated, middle-aged consumers’ cognitive age and status consumption.

In this context, environmental awareness is a broad concept that includes not only knowledge about the environment, but also refers to the attitudes, values and skills required to solve the environmental problems. Biological information of farmers involves their awareness about the environmental problems, the factors contributing to development of these problems and the measures that theycan do to improve the situation which determines their biological performance. Method: This descriptive-analytical study attempts to investigate the farmers' knowledge and biological performance in the southern Barandouz Chai village located at the central part of Orumiyeh Township. One-sample-t-test and correlation were used to analyze the data. Results: The biological knowledge of the studied farmers was at a level higher than average, and their biological performance was at a level lower than average, showing a strong correlation between their knowledge and biological performance. Conclusion: The lower level of biological performance compared to biological awareness in the studied farmers is due to the fact that they have to use fertilizers and pestidides to fight with pests though they are aware of the problems created by them. Moreover, despite having the knowledge of some aspects of modern irrigation methods, the farmers were not able to use them because of the existing difficulties and financial constraints.

In the same process, he may have thought of discovering the mysteries related to the convergence of these sciences. Undoubtedly, the origins of most of the humanities have commonalities, but in order to expand their scope, it seems that the origin of their formation must be different. Categories such as myth and mysticism, although seemingly different in approach, but both are prominent manifestations of Iranian identity in various positions, especially in the symbolic dimension of language, interpretability, narrative, artistic approach, closeness to religious texts, they have convergence and harmony and this commonality and convergence shows itself more in the field of poetry and literature. Therefore, many poets, including Hafez, have not been unaware of this point. Manuscript profile -

The research method is descriptive-analytic and the results showed that in the qualitative part, seven traditional and modern components for stratification were recognized by the research experts through content analysis. According to the results, those who have a more active political participation are from higher social stratification. In other words, those who are raised in families with high political participation and awareness, get more involved in political activities. The hypothesis testing results revealed that components of social stratification have a significantly positive impact on the students’ political awareness and participation. Besides, there is a significant relationship between independent variables (education, social status, power, and wealth) and dependent variables (familiarity with political characters, acquaintance with the duties of internal and international political institutions and organizations, and political participation). The correlation coefficient results showed that the relationship between the students’ economic-social status and their political participation is 0.741 which is significantly positive. Moreover, the correlation between their economic-social status and political awareness is calculated to be 0.618 which is positive as well. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, the mythological and symbolic concepts of the tree in Marzbanameh are studied. The authors hypothesized that the tree in Marzbanameh stories had a mythological, religious function in addition to its literary function.Based on the aforementioned idea and by analyzing the content of the stories, this hypothesis has been verified. It must be explained that ten mythological attributes of the tree Marzbanameh can be observed, such as the cosmic tree, Illumination (awareness), healing, the relationship between the tree and the fairy, relationship with the snake, the role of the tree in determining the fate, the shelter role of the tree, the relationship of the tree with the genealogy, the worship of the tree, the speaking tree. The widespread application of the mythological concepts of the tree in Marzbanameh reinforces the hypothesis that the book was written in the Sasanian era and in the time of Anushirvan. In addition, the tree's sacredness and respect for humans and its presence in their lives have been due to humans' need for the tree as a food and medicine source. The research method is descriptive-analytical in terms of library work space. Manuscript profile -

Due to their job position, physicians must have sufficient skills to communicate properly with patients to enjoy comfort, satisfaction and health. The purpose of this study was the effect of communication skills training on flexibility, self-responsibility and professional commitment of Arak dental students in relation to patients. This study was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population included all dental students of Arak State University of Medical Sciences in 2019, who were selected by available sampling method of 24 people and randomly divided into experimental groups (n=12) and control (n= 12). After selecting the sample and performing a pre-test on both groups, the solution-based treatment program was performed on the experimental group during 11 sessions of 90 minutes (2 sessions per week) and no intervention was performed on the control group. Research instruments included the 20-item Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire by Dennis and Vanderwall (2010), and the 16-item Responsibility Questionnaire by Salkovskis et al., (2010) And the Clikeman & Henning (2020) 15-item Professional Commitment Questionnaire. To analyze the data from statistical methods of multivariate analysis of covariance and analysis of covariance was used. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of flexibility post-test and self-responsibility knowledge of experimental and control students. Based on the results, it can be said that communication skills training has an impact on students' flexibility and self-responsibility. Therefore, the intervention method of communication skills training, due to strengthening the mental ability to control unpleasant and inflexible thoughts, causes mental flexibility and avoidance of automatic thoughts and irrational cognitive distortions in the individual. And performing student-professional duties strengthens them positively. Manuscript profile -

Reinforcing the students’ self-awareness and their development in math are the top two elements being discussed in this research. The sample of students being chosen is from a rural complex on the suburb of Torbat-e-Heidarie town. Once one control group and an experimental one (each consisting of 15 members) were selected, the experimental group was taught about methods of problem-solving during five 45-minute sessions. Then, both a pre-test (including 18 questions on math) and a post-test (including 18 questions on math and 80 questions on self-awareness) were given. The questions of two tests had the same level of difficulty. Having been analyzed by co- variance, the scores of the pre and post tests indicated that there was significant relationship between the pre and post tests. The mean score, in the post-test, has increased remarkably, comparing with the pre-test, in the experimental group whereas, such an improvement has not been noticed among those of the control group.

Awareness of efficiency as a key solution can protect workloads from each other's negative effects. Currently, the lack of such an infrastructure causes fluctuations in efficiency and unfavorable service quality in these systems. The purpose of the current research is to take steps to compensate for the aforementioned shortcomings and one of the most important achievements is the development of an efficient cloud infrastructure in electronic education systems. Unlike existing approaches, the proposed infrastructure does not depend on a specific execution mechanism and independently of the service level and actors, it monitors the performance of the entire cloud stack in an integrated and dynamic manner. Method: The proposed approach displays e-learning systems based on sets of departments and operational units, components, operational dependencies, and required functional connections. The description of operational units and their duties and functions are as follows: shared knowledge repository, recovery and synchronization unit, audit and monitoring unit, inference and notification unit, control and execution unit. Findings: The results of the implementation and evaluation of different scenarios show the superiority of the proposed infrastructure and the improvement of performance criteria. Discussion: The proposed infrastructure uses performance values and criteria as raw data for dynamic control and performance management. Therefore, this operational framework can be used for different efficiency measures. The proposed approach is able to support performance optimization and management of its requirements for a multi-tenant environment. The approach of the present research, considering the aspects of awareness of efficiency in electronic education systems, can be used as an effort to create a general roadmap and a perspective to achieve awareness of efficiency in basic cloud services Manuscript profile -

The conventional interpretation of knowledge of self in mysticism is self-knowledge, and in psychology, especially analytical psychology, is self-awareness. It seems that, the apparent differences between the two terms, the two concepts can be examined from a comparative perspective. In this paper Ibn al-Arabi is selected as representing Islamic mysticism and Jung as representing analytical psychology. Ibn al-Arabi uses concepts such as the cultivation of the self, contemplation and thought for self-knowledge, and Jung examines self-awareness through research in the unconscious, the analysis of dreams and meditation. These two perspectives are similar in some ways, such as the recognition of the self as well as the recognition of the self and the possibility of self-knowledge through inner consciousness. At the same time, Jung regards the analysis of dreams as one of the ways of self-awareness, but unlike Ibn al-Arabi for self-knowledge of self-cultivation, cognizability and uncognizability are possible. In sum, Ibn al-Arabi's mystical tradition has come close to contemporary psychological perspectives on his understanding. This article is based on library studies and comparative method.

MoreUnbridled expansion of urban centers has increased environmental concerns for citizens. One of the solutions and methods to prevent the destruction of the urban environment is to increase the awareness, attitude and behavior of citizens towards naturalistic dimensions. The current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the social indicators effective in the emergence of environmental awareness, behavior and attitudes of the citizens of Bandarlenge city. The information is descriptive-analytical, using the Cochran sampling method, 374 people from the statistical population of Bandarlenge city have been selected as the research sample. Based on previous studies, the variables of this research included the components of environmental behavior (a set of people's actions towards environmental issues), environmental attitude (a set of beliefs and related to the environment) and environmental awareness (knowledge and literacy related to the environment). And the data collection was done by questionnaire method and the data was analyzed using spss software. In order to investigate the relationship between gender and the level of knowledge, attitude and behavior of people, the Mann-Whitney test was used, and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to investigate the relationship between the level of education and the mentioned items. The most respondents in terms of gender are women in the age group of 25 to 40, and the most respondents in terms of education are people with bachelor's and master's degrees. The current research showed that despite the existence of proper awareness about the environment, the majority of people have a poor behavior in relation to the environment. Also, environmental awareness cannot guarantee the emergence of appropriate behavior and attitude of people because other conditions such as structural factors, individual ability, experience and habits are also influential in the formation of environmental behaviorsExtended AbstractIntroduction: Concerns about the environment and the destructive effects that threaten it are increasing, and the unrestrained expansion of urban centers has caused an increase in environmental concerns for citizens, and this issue has become a global issue that has caused the preservation of And environmental protection is considered essential. One of the solutions to prevent damage to the environment and its destruction is to change human behavior in a direction that pays more attention to preserving and expanding nature. In this regard, awareness of environmental issues and individual naturalistic attitude of each person is usually considered a prerequisite for environmental concerns. The first condition is what causes social participation in the environment and how to obtain this awareness and attitude is very important. The current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the social indicators effective in the emergence of environmental awareness, behavior and attitudes of the citizens of Bandarlenge city.Methodology: The present study was conducted in Bandarlenge city by descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population includes people in the age range of 15 to 65 years, with a population of 13,330 people and a history of more than 3 years of residence in Bandarlenge city. And by using Cochran's sampling method, with an error level of 5%, 374 people from this statistical population have been selected as the sample size of the research. Collecting data using a four-part questionnaire (individual characteristics, awareness, attitude, behavior) which was reviewed and collected through articles and library sources. Sampling is based on a random method. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests were used in the data analysis in SPSS software.Results and discussion: According to the obtained information, it was found that the most respondents in terms of gender are women in the age group of 25 to 40, and the most respondents in terms of education are people with bachelor's and master's degrees. Also, the people of Bandarlenge city get most of their environmental information from mass media, especially television and radio, especially illiterate, low-educated, old and middle-aged people, and they get the least amount of information from environmental organizations. To check the environmental knowledge of women and men, the Mann-Whitney statistical test was used. Given that the significance level is higher than 0.05, the null hypothesis is confirmed in all three parts of environmental awareness, attitude and behavior, the significance level is higher than 0.05. and based on this, the obtained results show that men and women did not have significant differences in environmental awareness, attitude and behavior. Of course, in the knowledge section, the average score of women was slightly higher, in the attitude section, the average score of men was slightly higher, and in the behavior section, the average score of women was higher than men. For the difference in environmental awareness, attitude and behavior of citizens in different educational levels, the statistical method used to compare the four groups of sub-diploma, diploma and post-diploma, bachelor and post-graduate, Ph.D. is Cross-Cal-Wallis test. In the awareness section, considering that the level of significance was not significantly different from each other; The average is slightly higher in bachelor's and master's degrees. In the attitude section, considering that the level of significance did not have a significant difference with each other and the average was slightly higher in the bachelor's and master's degrees. In the behavior section, considering that the level of significance did not have a significant difference with each other; And the average was slightly higher in the sub-diploma level. The awareness of 15-18 year olds due to their young age and not having the necessary and sufficient education in the educational levels did not answer properly because the questions are challenging and require training in these fields; In the case of illiterates and primary education, this issue has been observed more strongly; But regarding post-diploma education and above, especially those who had units related to the environment in their academic and university units, they answered the questions of awareness correctly, so it can be concluded that awareness and knowledge about the environment is necessary and this awareness depends on individuals. They have knowledge of men in this field. It should be mentioned that questions related to awareness are questions that require environmental literacy. According to the findings, the attitude and behavior of the people of Bandarlenge city is estimated to be good, but there are some other important points, such as, it is true that some people (primary education and even illiterate) have less environmental literacy. But they have acted completely differently in the emergence of environmentalist behavior and attitude. In other words, it can be said that the elderly and illiterate people, compared to the educated and younger ones, had a better performance in preserving, maintaining, restoring and creating a better environment in the city, as well as being more enthusiastic and active and even using new methods in creating the city environment.Conclusion: The present study showed that despite the awareness and appropriate attitude of the citizens of Bandarlenge towards the environmental situation, it has not led to environmental protection behaviors. Also, environmental awareness cannot guarantee the emergence of appropriate behavior and attitude of people because other conditions such as structural factors, individual ability, experience and habits are also influential in the formation of environmental behaviors and according to the information obtained, it was found that those who They have higher education, they do not necessarily have environmental attitude and behavior. It was also found that the elderly perform better in relation to the environment, which they knew due to their long years of experience and the information obtained from mass media, especially television and radio. Also, this performance was observed in students who worked much more and patiently to preserve the environment and considered maintaining and expanding a healthy environment as a priority. In order to improve the status of social indicators affecting the environmental conditions of Bandarlenge city and similar cities in the country, it is suggested to create a platform for residents to communicate and interact with each other and finally to interact with managers and planners and establish two-way communication between people and decision makers, as well as for Creating awareness and knowledge of the environment, which are effective factors on responsible behavior, should be done through public education for the use of mass communication tools and environmental conferences, which will provide grounds for compiling articles, proposals, compositions and scientific initiatives of students in the society.

The purpose of environmental education was to increase awareness and or the ability to recognize and describe the environmental issues so the people can acquire skills or to develop methods to solve environmental problems. The aim of this study was to estimate the environmental education objectives, assess the level of knowledge of teachers in secondary schools in the Ahvaz region 4 in relation to environmental issues in 1393 .100 questionnaires containing 17 items were distributed in 4 schools in Ahwaz region. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive methods. The results showed the necessity of environmental education in the community and lack of environmental information. The sample teachers stated lack of environmental responsibility and ignorance, and ignorance of the people were as causes of environmental issues worsening. A large number of teachers remarked that direct education to students and educational workshops were to be considering as effective methods. The most important environmental problems in the country according to the respondents was the lack of environmental responsibility, the current energy crisis, air pollution and waste disposal. Such estimation reflected the low teachers ' knowledge of environmental problems. Because problems such as degradation and depletion of natural resources, global warming and population growth are far more important than the broader principles of waste disposal. Therefore, it is recommended that the Ministry of Education should consider a series of scientifc studies and environmental planning related to the environment in course content in different ways.

In Viktor Frankl's theory of meaning therapy, the meaningfulness of a healthy human life is described in the light of the following characteristics: freedom of will and awakening, sense of responsibility, will directed towards meaning, love, wise tolerance of suffering, search for meaning, the answer to conscience and religious belief. Self-awareness, which means that a person is aware of himself, is one of the important components in Frankel's theory of meaning therapy. In meaning therapy, a person who is searching for meaning is faced with being responsible and aware. Novels such as Savushun Simin Daneshvar and Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy can examine the self-awareness of a healthy character and can be analyzed from a psychological point of view. In this research, by using the descriptive-analytical method, the psychological investigation of the novels of Savushun and Anna Karenina was done with an emphasis on Frankel's theory. And the question has been answered whether the characters of these novels have the characteristics of a healthy person according to Frankel or not. The findings of the research show that Yusuf (the main character of the novel) is a self-aware person in Savushun And self-awareness directly causes characteristics such as awakening, love, self-sufficiency, and responsible to appear in him. Zari (another main character of the novel) also comes to self-awareness after the events that happen to her, and the characteristics of a healthy personality appear in her. In Anna Karenina, Levin comes to self-knowledge as a result of events in his life together, and the traits of a healthy personality are manifested in him. Based on this and according to the basic issue of this research, it seems that the characteristics of the heroes of the novel are compatible with what Frankel defined (except for self-sufficiency). Of course, self-sufficiency can be considered a sub-component of responding to the call of conscience according to Frankel. Manuscript profile -

Furthermore, it investigated whether there are any differences in the effectiveness of these techniques. Regarding the participants, the testing group was 154 undergraduate English language translation students, including both male and female students, forming three experimental groups. This investigation used the quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. The sampling method was convenience sampling. The homogeneity test and a pre-post critical cultural awareness questionnaire were used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed through Repeated Measures ANOVA and Simple Effect Analysis. Based on the obtained results, there were significant differences between the pretest and the post-test, which means that by applying the techniques mentioned above, the critical cultural awareness of learners increased. Also, there were significant differences between the three groups’ overall means on pre-post critical cultural awareness questionnaires. Considering the three groups, culture narratives, culture capsule and culture training activities, the former outperforms the others. Furthermore, between culture training activities and culture capsule groups, the culture training activities group performed better than the culture capsule group. Manuscript profile -

To do this, managers should study the effect of their habits and tendencies on other so that they can omit the ones that may have a negative effect on people. Therefore, they should learn self-knowledge and have control over themselves(Knatez et. al , 1384). Knowing oneself has always been sought by human beings. The identification of needs, values, humane objectives and most important of all self-respect is important. To get to self-realization, which is our ultimate goal, the satisfaction of basic needs such as self-respect is necessary. At the same time, self-respect is one of the components of self-knowledge(Alipour, 1375) On the other hand, one of the issues arising out of human relationships is that of conflict. A manager’s responsibility is conflict management. Conflict, if effectively controlled, can reveal hidden organizational issues, improve the quality of decision making and leads to innovation within the organization. The present study investigates the relationship between managers’ self-knowledge and their applying conflict management styles in high schools in Bojnord. The statistical population are the high school managers and the sampling technique is randomized. The study is of survey type. It is a descriptive, correlational study. To gather data, Raj Kumar Sarsovat self-knowledge questionnaire and Rahim’s methods of dealing with conflict were employed. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics(frequency and percentive) and inferential statistics(chi-square) were employed. Cronbach alpha formula was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between managers’ self-knowledge and their applying conflict management styles at 99% confidence. There was also a relationship between self-knowledge and each of conflict management styles(cooperation, solution, competition, avoidance) at 95% percent of certainty. We found that those managers who use cooperation, solution styles have more self-awareness Manuscript profile -

During this process explicit or tacit knowledge can be passed from one to another with the possibility of creating new knowledge. Excellent knowledge sharing leads to development and improved service quality in organizations. However, to obtain the competitive advantages in public organizations, providing quality services to the society members must be strongly considered. Many effective factors contributing to knowledge sharing have been already identified in previous studies. However they focused on technological and organizational aspects rather than individual aspects of knowledge sharing. Therefore, we studied the individual aspects involved in the quality of knowledge sharing. The correlation between awareness, motivation, personality and trust in knowledge sharing was studied. Our results showed a direct and significant correlation between each of above -mentioned individual factor with quality of knowledge sharing (Correlation coefficient: 0.826, 0.796, 0.722 and 0.245 respectively, P<0.01) confirming our hypothesis.

Workers' knowledge and practices play a major role in food safety in food establishments. This study aimed to survey the awareness of Shiraz confectionery workers about food hygiene and their practices. A cross-sectional study was performed to select confectioneries randomly. A self-made questionnaire was designed to determine the knowledge and practices of workers about food hygiene (including demographic characteristics, knowledge, 6 points), and practices, 60 points). 130 people from 27 confectioneries participated in the study. Most of the participants were male and had diploma, and with an average age of 35 years old. Data analysis showed that 39.2, 37.7, and 23.1% of workers had low, medium, and high awareness, and 0%, 7.7%, and 92.3% applicated poor, moderate, and good hygiene practices. The workers' knowledge about food hygiene was not satisfactory. However, they had good practices, generally. They did not know the protocol of cream defrosting and fruits disinfection and did not apply proper hygienic practices while defrosting frozen cream and storing raw material and pastries products. Women, the elderly, and educated and experienced workers were more aware of food hygiene (p< 0.05), but these variables did not affect their practices. Shiraz confectioneries workers have not enough knowledge about food hygiene, and their hygiene practices were incomplete. It is recommended to revise the method of food hygiene courses for the confectionery workers. Manuscript profile -

An experimental single-subject research method is applied. Accordingly, three dyslexic children were purposively selected from the research-eligible children, and Wechsler (WISC-IV; Wechsler, 2003) and Reading and Dyslexia (NAMA) (Karami-Nouri, Moradi; 2005) tests were conducted by the students, while the BRiEF executive function questionnaire (BRiEF; Guy, Gioia, Isquith, Kenworthy; 2002) was filled by the children's parents. The research findings were evaluated using visual inspection of the graphs, the improvement percentage, and the effect size. The results indicate that mobile app-based teaching of phonological awareness improves reading performance and enhance metacognition and behavior regulation skills in female children with SLD with reading as a specifier. The research contribution includes the introduction of a phonological awareness-oriented teaching app derived from subtests of the phonological awareness test, which can be beneficial as a supplementary instrument in a part of the reading disorder's restorative-therapeutic process to improve the reading ability and metacognition and behavior regulation skills of children with reading disorder.

However, recent researches have revealed that IQ is not the only factor in one's success but also, other criteria called as Emotional Quota (EQ) has taken its place in many researches. Since the inception of this structure, psychologists mainly paid attention on its cognitive aspects, such as memory and problem solving. Soon, they realized that non-cognitive aspects like emotional and social factors played a key role as well. To study the importance of this issue, a random sample of 81 Electronic and Mechanic engineering graduates from Islamic Azad University, Yadegar Emam Branch, were selected. They were handed out a questioner on EQ derived from Travis-Bradberry book. The collected data evaluated applying Data Enveloping Analysis (DEA) models. In order to rank and distinguish the students’ performance, super efficiency models were employed. The results show that the Electronic graduates scored some higher rank. Top of all, the study conflicts the selected four factors in evaluating EQ and reveals that the relationship- management factor has the most effect and self-management factor can take the least influence in this evaluation.

In spite of this ongoing attention, the subject of emotional intelligence and performance is still in a contradictory and controversial phase. Thus, a need remains for the development and testing of hypotheses relating the different dimensions of the emotional intelligence to performance. The goal of this research was to extend prior work on individual competencies and performance and investigate the possible relationship between academic staff members’ competencies (self awareness and self management) and their educational performance and to determine the role of their working life quality as an intervening variable. The results based on 930 questionnaire responses collected from 72 universities in a field study indicate that the extent of educational performance is positively and significantly associated with their self awareness and self management. Besides, the quality of the university working life interferes with the relationship between these variables. Manuscript profile -

This study used an experimental design to focus on the effect of ‘container metaphor awareness’, as a recently developed technique with the focus on two particles (out and in), on learning phrasal verbs by Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To this end, two groups of Iranian intermediate EFL learners were selected. They were homogeneous regarding their knowledge of English PVs. A pretest of phrasal verbs containing in and out particles was given to both groups. During a 5-week instruction, the PVs were taught to the control group with the traditional method through definition, examples, and sometimes translation and they were asked to memorize the PVs and their meanings. Meanwhile, PVs were presented to the experimental group by using images within videos prepared by the instructor to make their meanings concrete. After the instructional sessions, a posttest of target PVs was given to the participants of both groups in order to investigate their performance. The obtained results revealed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group. The findings of the study showed that teaching PVs based on container metaphor awareness could be more conducive to the learning and retention of PVs than the traditional method. Therefore, the application of container metaphor in teaching PVs can create an innovative method for teaching PVs in EFL contexts and facilitate PVs learning for EFL learners of English.

Available literature doesn't show whether farmers’ compliance with GAPs is affected by their choices of extension channels and their social status characteristics. A field survey was conducted among 115 farmers who were sampled systematically, and the data was collected by the use of questionnaires. The data were analyzed descriptively and by Chi-square, Pearson's correlation, and regression models to establish the association between social status characteristics of farmers versus extension channels accessed, and its influence on awareness and compliance with GAPs. The study found that farmers' level of access to extension channels had a significant influence on their level of awareness and compliance with GAPs. Field extension workers were the most effective channel of extension. Moreover, gender, asset scores, farm acreage under French beans and income from the sale of French beans were among the social characteristics with significant influence on the type and number of extension channels accessed by smallholder farmers. This study recommends that the dissemination of agricultural innovation messages to smallholder farmers should be guided by studying their social characteristics and paying attention to women and resource-poor farmers. innovation messages should be tailored along available channels of extension to enhance access by a diverse calibre of farmers.

The study also ascertained the awareness and adoption levels of such introduced technologies. Findings revealed that respondents were aware of 61.9% of introduced technologies, while only 33.3% were fully adopted. The study also identified seven factors responsible for the non-adoption of women farmers’ related technologies. The three highest ranking constraining factors were revealed as; high cost of inputs, low income level of women farmers and lack of regular contact with WIA extension agents. Reasons have been proffered for the relatively low technologies’ adoption levels. Recommendations have also been made to enhance the technology adoption level. These include the necessity to introduce only socio- economically and culturally compatible technologies to WIA clientele, a wholesale focus on follow-up activities after initial group based technology introduction activities, and the attachment of a credit scheme to the WIA program.

Four villages were randomly selected from Sargodha district for data collection. Thirteen farmers from each village were selected randomly and sample size was 52 respondents. More than 92% of respondents have no advisory services either from public or private sector. The findings imply that respondents need knowledge for all levels of competence in IPM technology. They need to get high-level of competence for application of this technology in the field. In addition, they have little exposure to long-term training opportunities due to low education level for applications of this technology. More than 77% of respondents think that government agricultural policies and no access to information sources regarding integrated pest management at grass-root level are main constraints. The findings from correlation and regression analyses indicate that age and knowledge/awareness level are negatively correlated. It may be concluded that elder respondents have less adaptability to new ideas and techniques as compared to young respondents. However, training and information, education, and experience play a significant role in enhancing the knowledge/awareness level of respondents in IPM technology. Manuscript profile -

Different people use different strategies for wayfinding in the urban space according to their physiological conditions. Emotion is one of the influential factors in the field of psychology and can be related to factors such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management and wayfinding. Considering that thinking is essential in the perception process, then one of the components of emotional intelligence is also the facilitation of thinking, so the purpose of this research is to present a gender reading of the perceptual-cognitive ability of wayfinding with an emphasis on emotional intelligence. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the wayfinding behavior of women and men with an emphasis on emotional intelligence in Sajjad neighborhood. The research method in the present study is descriptive-analytical, and in this regard, field observations, questionnaires, and site visits were used to collect data. Based on the size of the community in Sajjad neighborhood, using Cochran's formula, the sample size was calculated to be 296 people, and the questionnaire was completed in the form of targeted sampling among overweight men. Data analysis for the effect of emotional intelligence on wayfinding has been done with inferential statistics tests in spss software, and Lone's test and Anova one-way variance test, t test have been analyzed. The results indicate that the wayfinding behavior of women and men is different and there is a direct relationship between emotional intelligence and routing of women and men. Women have higher self-awareness than men when it comes to wayfinding, and they also have more emotional ability and interpersonal sensitivity than men while performing this behavior in the environment. Men have stronger feelings than women in the process of wayfinding and determining the management path in the urban environment, and they have more self-confidence during this process. Men are more optimistic than women in the urban environment. Women use route and sign knowledge in wayfinding. Men use route knowledge. Manuscript profile -

Findings: The findings showed that the average scores of the librarians’ familiarity with full text electronic databases was 51.52 (Std Deviation=26.4). T-test indicates that there was not any significant difference between the awareness score and the sexuality as well as the usability score and the sexuality; but there was a significant difference between the awareness score and the rate of the usability of full text databases. Also the spearman correlation showed that there was a direct significant difference between the education levels of the librarians and their awareness, familiarity and usability scores. In this case, Elsevier had the highest rank among English databases. Conclusion: The results showed that the rate of the awareness and the usage of the existing full-text databases by Isfahan University of Medical Sciences was more than average. It can be seen that the librarians’ sexuality didn’t have any impact on their awareness and usages but there was a significant difference between their academic disciplines and their usages and awareness. The highest rate of the awareness and usages belonged to the domestic databases. It can be concluded that there was a positive relationship between the periods of awareness of librarians toward these databases and their usages. Manuscript profile -

Emotional intelligence may play a basic role in work environment (Mckee et al. 2002).Daniel Goleman (1998) defines emotional intelligence as self-awareness,self-managment,self-motivation,social-awareness and social-management. Given that social capital is linked to the relationships among individuals and emotional intelligence has a crucial impact on forming these relationships.This research has attempted examining the impact of the five dimensions of emotional intelligence as independent variables on social capital aspects(namely trust,communication networks,common goals,and language)as dependent variables among the researchers and managers of IRIB research center. this research is a descriptive survey in which the relationships among independent and dependent variables have been examined considering the data collected through questionnaires.Descriptive and inferential statistics have also been applied in order to conduct analysis and provide a model.the results show that there is a direct relationship between emotional intelligence and social capital.therefore,it is possible to increase the level of social capital in the organizations by considering emotional intelligence indicator at the beginning of recruitment and instructing it through the work.

Unfortunately, researchers have focused mainly on reading interventions and equal emphasis on timely interventions on spelling has been neglected. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a multi-component spelling instruction in 4 students with specific learning disorder in spelling in an ABA design. Intervention was presented in 12 sessions and data were analyzed using visual analysis and quantitative methods by R software. Non-overlap of all pair's analysis (NAP) confirmed a significant increase in the spelling performance of 4 participants compared to baseline. In addition, findings did not show a significant reduction in participants' performance between the intervention phase and the maintenance phase (A2). Findings of this study seem promising to provide a multicomponent approach to treatment of multi-component deficits in specific learning disorders. Manuscript profile -

Clarifying the nature of this action and its precise definition is important in practical wisdom and some sciences such as jurisprudence, law, and ethics; because the subject of these sciences is intentional action. Davidson does not consider "intention" to be an independent mental state and reduces it to "the causality of belief and desire in performing an action"; therefore, an action is an intention if and only if it is the effect of the desire and belief of the agent. Mulla Sadra is also reductionist about "intention", but unlike Davidson, he considers an intentional action as an action resulting from "the will and the Second-order awareness of the agent for the purpose of the action". The results of this research, which were obtained based on the descriptive-analytical method and through the analysis of the logical requirements of the concept of "intention", show that Davidson's definition, due to facing problems such as "non-reduction of desire to will" and "deviant causal chain"; does not prevent others. As a result, Mulla Sadra’s definition of "intention" and "intentional action" is more defensible than his definition. Manuscript profile -

This research was done in a quasi – experimental manner with a pretest and post test and a control group in the function of intervention. Among 30 teenage girls aged 13 to 17 (divided in to 15 girls in experimental groups and 15 in control groups) who had already referred to Mental Rehabilitation Center of Tehran Province, District 2 during 2018 -2019. Data collection tools were the application of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire of Garnowski et al (2001) and the Fenigstein et al self-awareness questionnaire (1975). The findings of this research rejected the initial hypothesis i.e. the mindfulness based cognitive therapy does not have an impact on emotional regulation and self-awareness of teenage girls. It should be mentioned that the acquired results are only applicable for the present sample group i.e. the teenage girls and due to the type of statistical population the research findings may change. For example, the results of this experiment might be quite different for people with special diseases and addiction. Also age and environmental conditions (especially in the present time with the pandemic conditions of Covid 19) along with other factors such as sex and mental conditions might create completely different results.

The data collection method was a survey through a questionnaire. Using the Cochran formula, 333 female members were questioned in Lorestan province's nongovernmental organizations. According to the test of related hypotheses, the research findings show: Many socio-cultural activities of women have been voluntary from the past to the present, and women have not been forced to work outside the home. On the other hand, cooperation and learning are the hallmarks of these activities, and the roles that women play in relation to modern volunteering activities, including effective participation in these organizations, are flexible and appropriate to their biosocio-cultural. Thus, in this way, they are not completely detached from their family plans and do not lose the integrity of facing "themselves". In other words, they not only can, but also achieve their desired presence in the maintenance and management of society.

The collection of information was on the library method and the surveying was of the kind of the qualitative and analytic study of the theme. The results of the research indicate that the tendency of the acquisition of the wisdom and knowledge and the necessity of learning in increasing knowledge is one of the most significant indexes. Of the outstanding samples was eagerness of Kasra Anushervan, the Sassanid king to acquire the science. In most historical sources, Anushervan was introduced as a cultural man, and the Kalileh and Demneh was transferred to Iran by his struggle. That's why the importance of science and knowledge, in him, is a manifestation of cultural asset. We can also allude to the science stance among the scholars such as Borzuyeh Tabib, Ibne Mogaffa, and Nasrollah Monshi which originated from the accumulation cultural assets and derived from their cultural approach and excellent speculation.

Because it has historically been associated with formal grammar teaching, metalinguistic knowledge has been disregarded or even abandoned as an essential part of pedagogical practice in many L2 classrooms. Nonetheless, new studies have shown how important it is to give form and meaning equal weight when teaching languages. This essay reviews studies on the value of teachers’ metalinguistic knowledge and how it relates to learners' improvement of language comprehension and proficiency. It also takes into account a number of potential benefits of possessing and using metalinguistic knowledge in L2 teaching especially teaching grammar in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. It is concluded based on this discussion that teachers' metalinguistic knowledge deserves a place in L2 classrooms. The study offers some implications for teachers and teacher educators, too.

242 - The Role of Beliefs and Metacognitive Awareness in the Strategic Reading Behavior of ESL Learners
Fatemeh Khonamri Abstract &n More Abstract In the present study, the relationship between ESL advanced students’ beliefs, metacognition and their strategic reading performance was examined. The study was divided into two phases. In the first phase of the study, three questionnaires were used to investigate the relationship between metacognitive awareness and learners’ beliefs. In the second phase, learners’ strategic reading behavior was explored through think-aloud protocol analysis, retrospective questions and interviews. Through correlational analyses conducted with the entire sample, it was clear that significant positive correlations exist between BALLI and BAR (r =.393). The one-way Anova analyses indicated that the belief variables (BALLI and BAR) accounted for a greater portion of total MQ variance (mean square =.141). The result of the second phase of the study indicated that though the metacognitive knowledge was shown to play no significant role in the strategic reading behavior of the subjects, it proved useful in facilitating the reading performance of the readers. In short, the findings of the study suggest an interaction between beliefs, metacognitive knowledge and strategic reading behavior o f learners. This may mean that in reading instruction, a consideration of these variables can lead to better reading performances. Manuscript profile -

The Four factor above, is a common and systematic process that is not specific for any particular approach. Separating the four factor of therapeutic relationship, creating hope and treatment expectation, raising awareness and disciplined behavior (emotion, thought and function) does not mean to see them separately and believe in the independence of each one of them or the independence of mind from the brain. This four factors are multiplex issues that needs planning, in the psychotherapy process. One of the most powerful therapeutic agents is the therapeutic relationship. Raising awareness, means to alert the client of the important point of ruminations that has happened in the past, and prediction of the the future based on escape from awareness. We believe that it is necessary for the person to be faced with the escape from the awareness in the process of psychotherapy, one should also be aware of the interpretations and explanations that is done to keep this escape from awareness and their rumination. We raise hopes and expectation of treatment by effecting on the individual’s assumptions in one’s bias to the environment and interpretation of events based on their bias. By the disciplined behavior in three areas of emotion, thought and function we can process through re-regulation of one’s behavior. Manuscript profile -

A mixed methods design was used to achieve the objectives of the study. In the quantitative phase of the study, 300 EFL teachers were selected through convenience sampling and filled out the Pragmatic Awareness Questionnaire. In the qualitative phase, 60 of those teachers participated in a pragmatic training course. They were divided into experimental and control groups and underwent the processes of pretesting, intervention, and post-testing. Furthermore, 30 of these teachers were observed in terms of their teaching inter-language pragmatics both before and after the training course of meta-pragmatics. The results of the multivariate ANOVA (MANOVA) revealed that EFL teacher’s pragmatic awareness was relatively low. In addition, the findings unveiled a statistically significant difference between the EFL teachers’ meta-pragmatic awareness and their practices in terms of the 'language teacher' component.

To determine their English proficiency level, the participants were administered a Longman placement test at the beginning of the study. The Brindley Questionnaire (1984), version 1, was utilized to identify how the students preferred to receive information. Additionally, version 2 of the questionnaire, which was designed for teachers, was used to assess their awareness of their students' preferred learning styles. Reading tests were also conducted to establish a connection between students' learning styles and their reading performance. The statistical analysis revealed that learners' learning styles could be categorized into three sections: ways of learning, working styles, and vocabulary learning. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that teachers were indeed aware of their students' preferred learning styles. The results of the study demonstrated a positive medium level of correlation (0.402) between students' learning styles in ways of learning and their reading performance, as well as a high level of correlation (0.916) between students' learning styles in vocabulary learning and their reading performance. In summary, the findings suggest that teachers' awareness of students' learning preferences can significantly impact their learning and reading skills. These findings hold great potential for EFL teachers, EFL learners, syllabus designers, and supervisors. Manuscript profile -
