The results of technology assessment have a direct effect on decision makingprocess in the field of technology transfer or expansion of internal research capabilities. After specifying theweak points, action can be taken to identify ways for strengthening these points through more advancedtechnologies, and at higher levels.This paper presents a model for assessment of technologic capability level. This model was tested on tenautomotive parts manufacturers under the superintendence of SAPCO. After studying different models ofTechnology Capability Assessment and the efficiency of each, a number of these models were selected asbasis and foundation of assessment models. However, considering that sheer use of these models and theirproposed indexes did not have any effective application in Iran, localized and applicable indexes wereprepared, and then, using questionnaire, capability level of automotive parts manufacturers was assessed.Using this model, capability level of manufacturers was investigated in four fields of hardware, info ware,human ware, and organization ware Manuscript profile -

However, there are still challenges in explaining the meanings of each word, its dimensions and elements, and how to measure it, and many consider the two words to be the same. In addition, most of the research conducted so far has focused on the term financial literacy and identifying the factors affecting it, and the concept of financial capability (ability) has not been specifically addressed. Therefore, the purpose of this study, while explaining the conceptual differences between the two words, is to provide a structural model regarding the factors affecting the financial ability of individuals from the perspective of experts through a phenomenological approach. This research is based on a library and interpretive method of qualitative research that has examined the views of 12 Iranian financial experts. The results showed that the proposed model of factors affecting the financial ability of individuals including 3 main themes of ability, mental framework and communication, 4 categories of skills, attitudes and general and financial motivations as well as 39 factors are influential.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate and determine the areas with potential to carry out rangeland activities under the Plasjan watershed. Material and methods: By reviewing the sources and by Delphi method, the criteria, sub-criteria and limitations of the study were determined. The weights of the criteria were calculated by hierarchical analysis (AHP) method and the layer maps were standardized using fuzzy proportional functions. The rangeland rangeability of the area was determined using multi-criteria assessment (MCE) and with weighted linear combination (WLC) models and weighted sorted averaging (OWA) with medium risk and compensatory capability. Findings: Rangeland capability maps were produced in 6 classes from without range capability to with very high range capability classes. Results have shown in the WLC model, 69249 and in OWA model, 54589 hectares were related to very high capability class. Sparse rangeland in WLC and OWA models, repeatedly with 22981 and 19187 hectares had highest portion in range land capability maps. Discussion and conclusions: Results of this study have shown in WLC model due to high rate of trade-off in comparison of designed OWA model, wider area considers in high and very high range capability class that is related to major area functions that are water reservation and Animal husbandry. This study has shown importance of vegetation characters, land shape and soil character for determining rangeland capability of an area. Manuscript profile -

Nowadays tourism industry which is a human intrinsic need turns to one of the important activities and economic indicator for countries and has played a highly important role in countrys national benefits in economical and cultural section. The "Dare eshgh" zone which is located in Chahrmahal- Bakhtiary province is one of the regions that has full potential for developing ecotourism. This region has capability for developing various tourism activities such as wild life, Canoe polo, mountain and rock climbing. Village and tribe tourism is another tourism potential of this area. In addition, this area is the origin and habitat of various herbal and animal species which increases the environmental sensitivity and importance of this area. Developing sustainable ecotourism needs establishment and planning comforting facilities. Also sensitive bio-factors such as soil, water, herbal resources, wild life, must be considered so the ecological potential of the land must be recognized by assessment and determine land suitability for preservation, recreation or other activities. In this research localizing tourism village is assessed based on Dr Makhdoms model and is performed by GIS instruments. Between areas that have tourist potential "Dare more" was recognized suitable for recreation activities. This area is over hanged to "Dre eshgh waterfall" which has the most important view of region- and accessible road. In addition most lands of this region has low slope. In order to increase ecotourism activities, some other facilities such as camping sites need to be placed. This area is introduced as recreation centre and as long as other potential ecotourism activities do not endanger the protection of the environment, can be considered as wide refreshing activities.

Board Diversity and board structure is the factors that affect the marketing capability of the company. Therefore, using the data of companies active in food sector in the period 1389-1399, the effect of diversity and board structure on the marketing capability has been studied. Based on the research results, the board structure and diversity have a positive and significant effect on the marketing capability of the studied companies. Because the more non-executive members (or female board members) to the total number of board members, the better the company's performance and marketing capabilities will be. Also, the board of director's size, the firm's assets growth and the firm's age have a positive and significant effect on the marketing capability of companies. The variables of environmental forgiveness (industry growth) and the variables of turmoil (revenue fluctuations in the firm and industry) also had a positive, negative and significant effect on the marketing capability of the company, respectively. In addition, the interactive effects of the board structure with the turbulence and environmental forgiveness on the firm's marketing capability were negative and positive, respectively. In other words, the structure and board diversity can have a greater effect on the marketing capability of the company when the company's revenue fluctuations are low and environmental forgiveness and industry growth rate are higher.

Empowering MoreConsidering the constraints on resources and the need for firms’ planning to avoid recession and underdevelopment, enhanced investment efficiency would promote the capital market attractiveness and increase the performance of capital market investment. Empowering these markets through investment efficiency requires to promote the flow of information disclosure to stakeholders in order to provide the greater coherence and integration of information, enhance equal decision-making capabilities, and promote trust and confidence in the company. The present study aimed to examine the impact of stakeholder relationship capability on investment efficiency through testing the mosaic theory. In this study, two criteria (namely the ratio of net fixed assets to total assets and investment level) were used in order to measure investment efficiency. Furthermore, meta-synthesis and Delphi analyses were adopted based on a 5-point Likert scale to measure the development of stakeholder relationship capability. To collect the research data, the questionnaires were sent to 142 companies in 2019, of which 112 questionnaires were returned by the managers of the firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. To fit and test the research hypothesis, the partial least squares analysis was used. After confirming the fit of the model, the results revealed that the stakeholder relationship capability had a positive and significant effect on investment efficiency. With regard to the Mosaic theory, this finding confirms that the equity of information in reflecting news and knowledge among stakeholders can promote the role of the firm's stakeholder relationship capability, thus enhancing the investment efficiency.

Achieving this knowledge, which can be integrated to monitor damaged tissue, is very important. In previous methods, the tissue was monitored using a sensor. In this article, not only is a tissue monitored using a sensor, but also the monitoring and evaluation of the effect of other tissues on tumor tissue is evaluated. The smart grid discussed in this article is designed to monitor the condition of a patient with a breast tumor. The structure of the smart grid, given the weight of the communication paths between the nodes and the ability of the nodes, shows us a strong network to assess the patient's condition. As the patient's condition changes, the nodes and weights of the communication pathways change, indicating that there is important information in the network and helping specialists to better assess the condition of the disease. Network monitoring is such that the evaluator node continuously evaluates the tumor node, by changing the status of the tumor node, the status of other nodes and communication paths between them changes, the result of changes in the network by the node The evaluator is evaluated. The simulation results show that this network has the necessary intelligence to assess the patient's condition in adverse conditions. Manuscript profile -

This species contains has been a wide distribution but discrete in the past, but it's limited regions in now. This research done in investigating possibility of plantation development for Mesquite (Prosopis cineraria) in Rahmatabad watershed of Rigan county, the East Kerman province. The aim of this study was to site location and identify suitable land for development and implementation of the ecological requirements of the species, according to the ecological characteristics of the study area in the East of the province. For this purpose, the method of multi-criteria evaluation has been based on Analytical Hierarchy Process. During this process were identified the natural characteristics and specific requirements of Mesquite and then calculate the weight of each characteristic by weighted analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the final map of the habitat area was prepared for the development of Mesquite trees. The results showed that the total area of 37286 ha, about 3423 ha of the land where good capability, 13521 ha the average capability, 17343 ha low capability and 2999 ha for the plantation of Mesquite has without capability. Using the results of this study can recognized prone areas of Mesquite using the MCE method in GIS and for the plantation of this species in places with good habitat can be planned in the future.

This study investigates the best landfill site for Zahedan city using the performance of decision support tools, Network analysis process (ANP) and Weighted linear combination (WLC) for weighting criteria, and map standardization methods based on Boolean and Fuzzy logic in the form of multi-criteria decision-making. Indeed, based on the variables' impacts in locating the waste landfill in Zahedan city, using multi-criteria decision-making methods (MCDM) to weigh and prioritize and evaluate the effective factors are considered to identify the optimal location regarding the ecological potential of the region. The proposed model indicates the priorities of creating different types of decision-making during the evaluation analysis of the development capabilities of the study area.Materials and Methods Developing a multi-criteria evaluation method in a GIS environment to determine and estimate the capability of desirable landfills in Zahedan city is considered. Thus, by preparing a questionnaire by the Delphi method, 18 sub-criteria in two groups of criteria: 1. ecological criteria (Slope, altitude, soil, erosion, fault, precipitation, wind, direction, surface water, groundwater, vegetation, land use, and geology); 2. Socio-economic criteria (Distance from city, village, mine, airport, and road) is determined, and regarding expert's perceptions and using Network Analysis Process (ANP) in super decision software, weights of each criterion were calculated; and in the next step, the layers of criteria were evaluated in a database based on ArcGIS and stored as benchmark maps; and finally using the WLC method were considered to combine all layers to extract the map of a suitable landfill site in Zahedan city.Results and Discussion By fuzzifying 18 layers (criteria) with fuzzy logic and also applying constraints with Boolean logic, 18-layer maps are prepared and by merging layers with one of the common methods of weight linear composition in Multi-criteria decision, the final landfill location map has been explored. In terms of the spatial distribution of suitable landfills in Zahedan city, according to 5 categories of classification, it was found that the highest level of the region is categorized as the low capable class (99.76%) and suitable areas for landfilling in total is around 0.231, also no part of the Zahedan city has a very high or high capability for using as the landfill location, while around the city of Nusratabad, areas with very high and high capability are observed. It was also found that mainly lands with both low and medium capability, are located in the suburban areas of Zahedan and Nusratabad, with 22 units for the city of Zahedan and 35 units for the city of Nusratabad.Conclusion Reviewing the research literature shows the strengths of using a multi-criteria decision-making method to locate landfills, enabling the use of a robust set of interactive tools to regulate compensability between criteria, which allows a quick assessment of the relationship between the criteria. Other strengths of this method include the ability to integrate homogeneous data sets such as qualitative and quantitative criteria using specialized knowledge, the flexibility to select specific criteria for different study areas or various issues, to implement one or more decision-making groups, the flexibility to change the level of criterion importance and different choices for acceptable levels of decision-making risks. By comparing the final outputs related to other areas, it can be concluded that the final results are close and the method is suitable for landfill locations everywhere. Therefore, it is suggested that for other areas, the evaluation of land capability should be examined with the proposed method in this research. However, since the location of landfills by different criteria and the influence of public opinion depends on scientific analysis, we assume that this method has significant potential to support the decision-making complexities of real-world applications.

Since biophysical (natural) environment has limited ecological capabilities for human use, ecological capability assessment, as an essence for environmental studies and with the aim of preventing existing crises, yields proper grounds for environmental planning. The analysis of land capability and sufficiency for urban development is one of the main categories with which urban planners deal. In this paper, by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) through the perspective of Multi Criteria Evaluation (MCE) Approach and within the Geographic Information Systems (GIS), ecological capability of the suburbs surrounding Tabriz city was assessed (natural and human in terms of 12 criteria) to examine the physical development of Tabriz city and final mapping of the region was provided. This mapping shows regions suitable for physical urban development of the city. The results and finding of this research were applied by urban planners. Manuscript profile -

Beckett's enigmatic narrative challenges conventional storytelling norms, prompting readers to grapple with ambiguity, uncertainty, and the multifaceted aspects of human experience. Nussbaum's framework, which evaluates well-being in terms of individual capabilities and freedoms, serves as a profound lens through which to dissect Molloy. The novel's protagonist, Molloy, embodies themes of agency, physical and emotional well-being, identity, and the quest for freedom in a fragmented world. Through introspective narratives, the protagonists confront existential uncertainty and the dissolution of self. The exploration of narrative language, parody, and intertextuality underscores the multifaceted nature of literary expression. Ultimately, this comprehensive analysis showcases the power of literature to engage with complex ethical frameworks and shed light on the profound intricacies of the human condition.

By simulation using quasi-static analysis, the effects of the geometric dimensions of the defect and different geometries of honeycomb cells on the energy absorption of the structure have been investigated. In the analysis, for each case three percent of defects, including 0, 10 and 30% were studied. The results show that the honeycomb structure with A-type cell geometry is completely destroyed, which can be due to the asymmetry of the structural cells. In the other two models, the structure retains its overall shape and by systematic modification of the cells, they have the ability to absorb energy during the collision. Also, the results show that the defects in these structures have a significant effect on their energy absorption capacity in which by increasing the defects, the energy absorption capacity decreases.

It regulates the relationship between socio-economic impacts and land use changes to monitor the sustainable development and determines the potential or types of use that land can naturally have. In this research, in order to identify the environmental potential of Shahrood County for tourism, GIS as the best suitable technique for land evaluation and site feasibility was used along with Index Overlaying (IO). Thus by identifying the ecological resources of the region, in a scale of 1:250000, map layer information was dispatched to the ArcGIS to overlay. This research was done in 6 stages. After preparing the slope, aspect and elevation layers, they were overlaid in ArcGIS and the landform layer was produced. Then, the overlaying of landform, land use, soil, vegetation and wildlife layers resulted in the final environmental units. After that, the ecological models of extensive and intensive tourism in Iran were used for comparison and analysis. According to the results, the study area has high potential for tourism. The suitable area for intensive outdoor recreation encompassed 68.8% of the area associated with class 1 and 19.1% with class 2; and extensive outdoor recreation included 93.2% class 1 and 5.3% class 2. In addition to this, 13.6% of study area was allocated to conservation because no part of this area is suitable for tourism activities. In the end, appropriate activities for each zone are recommended. Manuscript profile -

In this regard, data and information of 9 environmental criteria including climate, ‎slope, aspect, elevation, distance from streams, density of vegetation, soil, lithology and ‎distance to faults was collected according to different library documents. Preparation, ‎management and analysis of data were performed by geographic information system ‎‎(GIS), finalized by zonal mapping of ecotourism potential in the area. Results of the ‎zoning map showed that there is good potential for ecotourism in the area. Also, the ‎map has a suitable agreement with environmental properties of the area. According to ‎ecotourism potential zoning map, about 17 percent of the county had high ecotourism ‎capability and 72 percent of it had low ecotourism capability. Spatial concentration‏ ‏of ‎ecotourism suitable extents in the south, occupied by good ranges and forests, persuades ‎us to prioritize the development of ecotourism in the zone. In contrast, domination the ‎unfavorable climate and consequently poor vegetation cover in northern half of the ‎county have decreased the ecotourism potential in this zone, so that apart from a few ‎scattered locations in the north, most of the northern half of the county has low ‎ecotourism potential.‎ Manuscript profile -

This, in turn, has had a decisive impact on the use of urban lands. Therefore, in order to control urban growth, it is very important that, by identifying the ecological potential of the environment, the process of future development of the city be directed and managed in order to minimize the negative environmental impacts of natural resources of the city. With this view, after the implementation of the evaluation indicators through the system model, it has been tried to provide appropriate solutions for predicting future development of the city with an emphasis on environmental aspects. Therefore, while assessing the ecological capability of urban development in Sari using a system model, the zones in the form of very suitable and relatively suitable land parcels of urban development along with inappropriate land were identified. A very suitable class for urban development system model covered an area of about 433.143 square kilometers, equivalent to 11.22 percent, and a relatively suitable land had a surface of 126.29 square kilometers, equivalent to 34.3 percent of the city of Sari. Finally, it was concluded that 3,103 km2, which is 84.84% of the total 3662.151 sq. km of the area of Sari, cannot be developed for the creation of urban elements and other uses due to the indicators defined in the systemic model (Makhdoom). Undoubtedly, in order to preserve the ecosystems and environment, following this task seems necessary for the authorities to develop urban areas in future. Manuscript profile -

The cycle of controlling and monitoring the patient includes observation, orientation, decision and action, this cycle is a set of consecutive actions, which changes with the change of network arrangement, orientation, decision and action. In this article, we design the structure of the smart network according to the weight of the nodes, the communication paths in such a way that the cycle of control and monitoring (analysis, decision and action) performs well. We model the control and monitoring cycle with the proposed method of fuzzy hierarchical analysis process (FAHP). This model adjusts the decision-making criteria by recognizing the identification priorities in such a way that the speed of network detection increases with the least time. It is also a suitable tool for modeling the monitoring cycle and the results of the smart network. The simulation results show that this network has the necessary intelligence to assess the patient's condition in adverse conditions, has the power to continuously analyze and evaluate the patient, and also has the power to make timely decisions in different situations. These results show that according to the network arrangement and fuzzy hierarchical analysis, the speed rate of the network has improved by 10% compared to other networks. Manuscript profile -

Also, it deals with the design considerations regarding rotor and speed controllers. The poorly damped electrical and mechanical modes of the system are identified, and the effects of system parameters, and speed/rotor controllers on these modes are investigated by modal and sensitivity analyses. The results of theoretical studies are verified by time domain simulations. It is found that the dynamic behavior of the DFIG-based WT under voltage dips is strongly affected by the stator dynamics. Further, it is shown that the closed loop bandwidth of the rotor current control, rotor current damping, DFIG power factor and the rotor back-emf voltages have high impact on the stator modes and consequently on the DFIG dynamic behavior. Moreover, it is shown that the dynamic behavior of DFIG-based WT under wind speed fluctuation is significantly dependent on the bandwidth and damping of speed control loop. Manuscript profile -

According to Amartya Sen, the measure of development is not just goals such as increasing GDP or industrialization; He believes that the value of indicators such as technological advancement and social modernization depends on human capabilities. Empowering individuals requires opportunities such as economic freedom, political freedom, and social facilities, including adequate health care and education. It is as a result of such an approach that the free human factor can make economic and political development possible. Any disruption to individuals' access to freedom and justice will prevent them from growing and empowering themselves. This attitude is contrary to current policy; Policies that limit human development to rich countries only. The main question of the research is to what extent the macro educational policies in the development programs of the country are in line with increasing the capabilities of individuals? Based on this hypothesis, a review of the educational goals of the five economic, social and cultural development programs of the Islamic Republic of Iran shows a gradual and conscious increase in attention to education as a capability in the country's macro-policies over the past four decades. In this research, it is descriptive-analytical and library and documentary sources have been used to collect its data. The findings of the research indicate that although the role of education as a capability in the goals of the first and second economic, social and cultural development programs of the Islamic Republic of Iran It is not outstanding, but in the third, fourth and fifth development plans, effective steps are taken to use education as an essential capability for empowering people.
