These methods of analysis is usually performed under continuity condition. If the changes occur outside the field of study that led to the discontinuation of the process, there will not be possible to predict based on statistical models. In other words, the gap caused by environmental changes are a cause of discontinuity therefor parameters of quantitative models that are designed to extrapolate trends, lose their effectiveness. In this paper, the issue of the discontinuity of financial market trend with regard to the environmental changes is studied and the semi-quantitative method to identify the breaks in the financial trends is provided. To do this, the Delphi method to identify the possibility of environmental changes and their impact on the trends is used.

The basis of the r MoreIn recent years, more hazard-related research has changed its paradigm from the model of "reducing casualties and losses" to a more comprehensive model of community-based social resilience based on social systems and social problem solving approaches. The basis of the research goal was to explain the components and indicators of social resilience and to determine the contribution of factors affecting social rehabilitation. To determine the effective factors on social empowerment, after collecting many indicators by using the Delphi-Fuzzy method for screening items and Selection of the most effective indicators was carried out. Of the 50 indexes collected, 28 indicators were classified in seven main components: quality of life, social capital, social security, human capital, mental fitness of society, individual characteristics, and finally demographic characteristics. In the next step, we used the network analysis method to determine the weighted value of the components and their prioritization. The results indicate that the effective measures in social resilience to confront the earthquake, social capital with the highest weight (216.1) In the first and next stages of human capital (184), demographic characteristics (168/), individual characteristics (123/), quality of life (126), social security (112), and community psychological preparedness With a weight of (058/). So, in the process of social resilience, social capital plays a key role. Studies show that most citizens have insignificant information about the earthquake in the phases of emotion and prevention, and there is also a reluctance to learn and participate in educational plans and programs. Perhaps the reason for this, is the problems regarding daily routines and also the problems encountered in modern cities. Therefore, the components of this study suggest that, in order to achieve social resilience, only significant attention is paid to education and the formation of volunteer groups of citizens. It cannot have enough emphasizes and there should be more important issues such as qualitative Life, social security and other factors listed in the survey. The results of this study were consistent with other researchers and confirmed that they were screened using the fuzzy Delphi method and the use of the collective wisdom of components and indicators, which could include many key and reliant key factors for social resilience in Encounter earthquake. It is suggested that, in order to realize social resilience against earthquakes, in addition to the sociological viewpoint for social layers, we should consider the effective components of urban planning as well as being responsible for the creation of space and places that promote social engagement and social interaction. By recognizing the typology of urban spaces on a different scale, it would meet the needs of the human; by looking at the neighborhood as autonomous units, creating a sense of place, using the attractiveness of the population, paying attention to the cultural personality of the texture, access to basic services and priority to walking in the neighborhoods alongside issues such as education, insurance, awareness of people about the risks and consequences of an earthquake can be used to rescue urban communities with a social approach.

For example, certain development patterns, such as a lack of sidewalks, long distances to schools, and the need to cross busy streets, discourage walking and biking to school. Eliminating such barriers can increase rates of active commuting. But researchers cannot yet prove that more active commuting would reduce rates of obesity. It note that recent changes in the nutrition environment, including greater reliance on convenience foods and fast foods, a lack of access to fruits and vegetables, and expansion in portion sizes, are also widely believed to contribute to the epidemic of childhood obesity. But again, conclusive evidence that changes in the nutrition environment will reduce rates of obesity yet does not exist. Research into the link between the built environment and childhood obesity is still in its infancy. Analysts do not know whether changes in the built environment have increased rates of obesity or whether improvements to the built environment will decrease them. Nevertheless, the policy implications are clear. Finally, environment can have a sustainable effect in children activities. The attempt of this research is to identify the effective variables of friendly places by kids. Prioritization according to the importance of variables is the main goal of the research. The Delphi technique has been used to collect the opinions of experts about the priorities of criteria. The research method was qualitative, and the data were collected conducting a questionnaire. Firstly, by using literature review, several factors that are strongly related to design field (Child- friendly place, Child- friendly City (CFC), and Friendly places) have been identified. The questionnaires was sent to 25 experts, out of them 18 key experts answered to the research. Their responses were analyzed for the purpose of identifying. Following revisions as a result of the comments received from the first round, the participants were asked to repeat the assessment in the second round. A t-test was used to determine whether or not the experts’ opinions on the first and second round were similar. The results of the research showed that the final set of variables grouped into 5 categories: (1) physical factors; (2) safe access factors; (3) location factors; (4) ecological factors; and (5) personal factors. Physical factors consisted of functional distance, scale, variety of functions, quality of environment, density of neighborhood, texture and color of material, and so on. Safe access factors were distance (km/hr), to home, school, play space, parks and center of neighborhood. Contextual factors consisted of neighborhood, services and safety. Location factors were proximity with home, school, play space, parks. Personal factors consisted of age, gender, education, economic place and sense of safety. We used Shannon’s entropy to determine the importance weights of variables. Physical factors were the most important attribute and personal factors were the least important one.

Indicators of urban poverty and deteriorated quality of life are visible in such neighborhoods. Actually these declined areas do not have the ability to compete or exchange economic, social or cultural benefits with other part of cities and other urban areas without government support. Social sustainability is a manifestation of sustainable development, which in recent years has gained increased recognition as a fundamental component of sustainable development, beginning to receive political and institutional endorsement within the sustainable development agenda, and the sustainable urban regeneration discourse.Moreover, regeneration is considered as one of the most significant, most effective approaches to improve and renovate urban neighborhoods. Urban regeneration tackles "quality of life" issues in communities through working to narrow the gap between the most disadvantaged neighborhoods and the rest of society. In this policy debate often an area­based approach, integrating horizontal policies, with sustainable perspectives, collaborative inhabitants, is advocated. The aim of this analytical review is to establish the dimensions and components of urban community regeneration, its substantial principles, and supporting policies with an eye on social sustainability, and its conceptual framework. In line with its goals, this policy study is a library and document research involving content analysis of theoretical texts. Furthermore, drawing on the Delphi method and based on a conceptual model, an analysis concerned with community regeneration was carried out assuming a social sustainability approach.Also, the opinion of experts rating 4 aspects and 21 factors derived from theoretical principles were used to finalize the community regeneration model.The findings are suggesting that the principles extracted from an initial literature review comprised social participation, social capital, social composition, social coherence, sustainable policy (governance), welfare and quality of life, the environment, services and housing, preserving the identity and cultural heritage, security and wellbeing, being community-based, and equal access (to housing, services, open spaces, jobs, resources, etc.) can be classified into four groups (sustainable environment and space, sustainable community, sustainable economy, and governance). Of the 21 factors identified through the literature review, and according to the experts’ opinions, the sense of belonging, sustainable transportation, and information systems are the essential criteria, whereas the remaining ones except resilience received an acceptable score in the hierarchy of the criteria. Based on the nine principles extracted in this study, a conceptual model was presented in whose aspects the factors feature a significant order. At the conclusion this article presented, 32 supporting policies which can be used in the process of neighborhood regeneration in order to improve social sustainability. Concurrent attention to these strategies as a balanced set of issues is important. Because the fulfillment of each policy without considering the others will complicate the situation of the declined neighborhood and its local community. Moreover involvement of local communities during the process, is the key success point of the neighborhood regeneration programs. Manuscript profile -

Although in the past conservation strategies have emphasized intact natural systems, today the strategies have focused on the conservation and restoration of degraded ecosystems. The forest landscape restoration approach (FLR) is considered an important approach for the restoration of ecological and socio-economic services of forest ecosystems in landscape scales. Identification and prioritization of efficient and effective criteria and indicators in the process of prioritizing areas to restore the forest landscape are a necessity that has not been done in Iran so far. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to introduce effective criteria and indicators for prioritizing appropriate areas for forest landscape restoration in the selected area. In this study, a total of 26 criteria and 68 indicators from ecological and socio-economic points of view were identified with an emphasis on directing restoration efforts towards areas that guarantee maximum profits from two perspectives of necessity (the need for restoration) and opportunity (feasibility of a restoration) and then, they were prioritized using the Delphi method. The results showed that in the section on the need for restoration, the process of landscape degradation from ecological criteria and poverty from socio-economic criteria were the first priorities. Besides, the ecological criteria of destruction and natural regeneration potential with equal priority and socio-economic criterion of the budget in terms of feasibility of reconstruction were the first priority. The results of this study, in addition to helping decision-makers and planners dealing with protecting nature protection and its use, can lead to the attraction of active participation of stakeholders in the forest landscape restoration programs with a balanced attention to both aspects of the necessity and the opportunity of restoration.

Although land degradation is a physical process, its main drivers are rooted in the socio-economic and political environment. Soil security by integrating five dimensions, including soil condition and capabilities, soil biophysical aspects, as well as capital, covers the relationship and legislation of socio-economic and political factors affecting soil. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify and validate soil security indicators with fuzzy Delphi technique.Methods: The current research is applied in terms of its purpose and it is qualitative research in terms of the type of research. Also, the current research is a descriptive (non-laboratory) type of researches that was conducted with a survey method. The information needed for this research was mainly obtained through survey and library methods, and in this regard, secondary data such as scientific and gray documents and several reports of government documents that describe the studied area were used. The information required for this research has been collected according to the objectives determined by the questionnaire. In total, 30 experts in relevant departments and institutions were used to complete the study.Results: The results of the study showed that from soil capability aspect soil erosion rate index and in terms of soil organic carbon index have the most validity in measuring soil security. In relation to soil security, the index of cultural values has a high priority to measure soil security. Also, in this dimension, indicators of active soil science graduates, soil management skills and access to statistics and information were removed. In terms of soil capital, the index of total production is a highly reliable index for measuring soil security. In this dimension, three indicators of wet or dry agricultural land, trading value of land and benefit from irrigation water were removed. In the dimension of soil security legislation, the index of soil protection projects is mentioned as the most valid indicator for measuring soil security.Conclusion: This study is the first attempt to collect indicators of five dimensions of soil security to evaluate soil security in Iran. Identification of soil security assessment indicators has led to obtaining a list of important indicators approved by the country's soil experts, which can be made available to other researchers in the future to assess the soil security situation in different parts of the country. According to the study process, a total of 38 indicators were identified and validated for each dimension of soil security. Finally, eight indicators were removed from this total in the study process. Manuscript profile -

This study is aimed to design a new model for service and civil development application to be employed in the evaluation of the country’s ecological capability studies. To this end, first the frequency of sustainable and unsustainable ecological factors inIranwas identified. Then, theDelphimethod which is a branch of phase theory methods was used. Prioritization of effective ecological factors and assessment of the frequency value of each factor were made by completing 750 questionnaires for desired branches (Delphigroup). The gathered data were analyzed using SPSS software version 11.0. After being designed, the model was introduced to the geographical information system using Arc info program. The model’s sensitivity analysis test was done with the purpose of determining the extent to which favorable responses are affected by certain changes in the target function through Simplex method using lingo software. This model is used in the evaluation of ecological capability at the time of analyzing the ecological resources of the field under examination and after preparing the map of environmental units. In fact, environmental units map is considered as the fundamental map in ecological capability evaluation studies. To asses the capabilities of the new method, ecological capability of District 22 in the city ofTehranwas evaluated as a case study and the service and civil development application map was prepared using Arc view GIS 3.2a program.

The sediments of Sarcheshmeh copper mine in Iran contain high concentrations of these pollutants. Thus, environmental evaluation and ranking them based on emission levels are important for timely environmental measures with the lowest operating costs. The first aim of this study is to evaluate the environmental risk of these sediments by determining the contamination factor, pollution load index, enrichment factor and Geoaccumulation index. The second aim is ranking these metals based on the level of risk critical using the Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method. Method: In this study, first, by determining risk evaluation indices, heavy metals contamination (Co , Cu , Mo , Zn , Cr , Mn , Ni , Pb , Ti and Fe ) in the sediments of Sarcheshmeh copper mine which conduce to the tailings dam was assessed. Then, by collecting expert opinions on the relative importance of each indicator mentioned in the environmental contamination risk of heavy metals, through final weighting of the indices using Fuzzy Delphi Analytic Hierarchy Process (FDAHP), ranking and clustering of heavy metals in the sediments of the study area were performed using ELECTR method. Results: Based on the results measuring the risk evalution indices, the intensity of contamination related to these metals was in order of Zn> Cu> Fe> Mo> Pb > Mn > Cr, and all the metals except for copper, zinc and iron were almost cited to be in the unpollutant limit. Also based on ranking results, the ten risks were clustered in seven categories with copper, iron and zinc having the highest pollution and critical risk amongst the heavy metals in the studied sediments, respectively. Conclusion: Considering the boilers with high energy consumption and low efficiency in this factory, the replacement of old boiler with the new one through CDM project is cost effective.

The amount of insured losses resulting from these incidents make damage inflicted on the insurance company. in some cases, the insurance company are faced with the threat of bankruptcy. Insurance companies use reinsurance to approach to the crisis traditionally. But it should be noted that the reinsurance companies have limited storage capacity and concentration risk. so, one of the effective tools to solve this problem is a direct relationship between the insurance industry and the capital market as a concept called "risk securitization". This is known as debt securities insurance. However, an additional problem in our country is international sanctions that cause limitation. In this case the cost of such reinsurance increases. Thus, according to studies and evaluated that were collected and analyzed by using the Delphi technique ideas theme "insurance investing investment fund reinsurance in order to increase capacity" was proposed.

In addition to the impact of historical returns, there are many other critical factors that directly or indirectly affect the stock market. The present study first uses the Fuzzy Delphi method to identify critical factors and ultimately considers factors with low correlation coefficients. Critical factors and historical data were used to adapt Dempestor-Schafer evidence theory for stock rankings. Then, in the sampling model, stocks with a higher rank are proposed. Sampling was carried out using stock held on Tehran Stock Exchange and simulated by optimization of colonization of ant. The performance of the results is satisfactory in comparison with the recent performance of assets. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, the aim of this research is to review the successful experiences of multi-functional and universal adaptable architecture to compare their strategies with the heritage of industrial experiences in the city of Tehran. In this research, the studies of adaptability for universal samples are considered as the basis for exploring the multi-functional architectural strategies. The approaches include three physical layers of the building structure, facilities and facade, which have been evaluated by using Delphi method on the heritage of industrial architecture in city of Tehran as a statistical population. The non-parametric statistical tests of Cochran's Q test and Friedman's test, were applied to analyze data; the theoretical sampling method for both statistical population (Tehran's industrial architectural heritage) and (relevant experts) was adopted. According to the expert’s ideas, the strategies of two-layered structure and facade in the target buildings were confirmed; according to the data analysis, ‘Argo Factory’ had the highest Degrees of Freedom (df) regarding the structure layer, and in relation to the facade, the ‘Iranian Artists Forum’ with the highest average test rank, showed the highest conformity of the facade and the structure. However, regarding the facilities, no compliance of the facility was found. The industrial architectural heritage of Tehran includes some buildings that reused for another purpose as: Argo Factory (changed to Argo Contemporary Art Museum & Cultural Centre), Iranshahr Barracks (Iranian Artists Forum), Beryank Hosiery Factory (Haftchenar's Museum of Wildlife and Natural Monuments) and Qasr Prison (Qasr Garden Museum/ Museum of the Qasr Prison). The target buildings were ranked according to the data acquired by calculating mean rank for the strategies were applied for each layer. According to the results, two characteristics were found in the industrial buildings that can highly affect the adaptive reuse of the heritage of industrial architecture, 1. the concentration of the structure at the lowest points and limited spaces with more free spaces compared to its counterparts, and 2. the adaptation of the building facade to the structure.Extended AbstractIntroduction:The physical and spatial development of Tehran city has caused the relocation of industrial buildings from sub-urban areas to enclosed dense urban places. This issue has resulted in the closure of the industrial architectural heritage despite having useful structural cycles and architectural values. Economically, this untimely destruction of industrial buildings and closing of the plant, while they could still be in their useful life cycle by repairing at a lower cost, caused unrecoverable damages to the economy of developing countries. Under the light of new urban spaces, the process of industrialization has changed the appearance, landscape, and entity of cities, as the industrial urban spaces could historically link to the past life of cities.The industrial architectural heritage, as an implication for the historical achievements of the territory in the modern age, is required to be recognized and preserved. Protecting the existing values of these lands, which are mainly considered as their contemporary heritage of them, requires a comprehensive assessment for finding their physical elements while finding a new application for them for revitalizing them. Therefore, the multi-functionality and adaptability of these spaces, before and after the renovation, should be considered, which is critical for verifying their application to adaptive reuse. In this regard, several measures have been taken in Iran with the cooperation of some institutions to promote economic and social stability and give new applications to these buildings for revitalizing these abundant spaces. These are examples of adaptability in Iran and the kind of experiences which form the foundation of this research. So, this study aims to investigate the successful universal experiences of multi-functional and adaptive architectures to compare their strategies with similar experiences in the industrial heritage of Tehran city.This research was mainly focused on the following actions: 1. Reusing the buildings that are selected for this purpose and revitalizing the abundant spaces, 2. A better selection of buildings, and improving their new function, and 3. reducing the cost of renovation and revitalizing these buildings. Thereby, the relationship between multi-functional architectural features as an independent variable and adaptive reuse of industrial buildings as a dependent variable has been studied.Methodology:An exploratory research method has been used for this study, in which the survey passed through five phases by adapting the indicators for the target society. In this research, the previous studies and experiences on adaptability in the world were applied as examples for adopting multi-functional architectural strategies, which included three physical layers of the building 'structure', 'facilities', and 'façade'. The gathering data was evaluated by applying the Delphi method to the industrial architectural heritage of Tehran city as a statistical population. To get this, the relevant graph of each layer was sketched for each target building consequently.In the graph of the structure, in addition to the load-bearing constructions, other parts with a high risk of destruction, due to the long life of the target structures, were presented, together with the graph of facilities including restrooms, kitchens, and spaces with access to vertical shafts. Finally, the part of facades presented in the graph, including non-opening and hard parts, such as bricks and masonry components that were either irreplaceable or their replacement brought the risk of destroying the adjacent parts.After accomplishing the first step of Delphi, by using diagrams and analyzing the data acquired, a questionnaire was presented to the interviewee who was experts in the field of architecture, academic professors, architecture Ph.D. researchers, and skillfully experienced architects in the relevant field; following this, the gathering data were examined for next evaluation to determine the positive and negative opinions. Then, in case of disagreements on layers, the questionnaire was presented to the experts again together with the results of 'distribution frequency', based on the dichotomous variables and rank cases, according to the previous results of Friedman's testData analysis was performed by applying the Friedman and Cochran Q tests and a theoretical-based method was applied for the sampling of the statistical population of industrial architectural heritage of Tehran and the relevant experts. The industrial architectural heritage of Tehran city in this study included: 1 Argo Factory (Argo Contemporary Art Museum & Cultural Centre), Iranshahr Barracks (Iranian Artists Forum), Beryank Hosiery Factory (Haftchenar's Museum of Wildlife and Natural Monuments) and Qasr Prison (Qasr Garden Museum/ Museum of the Qasr Prison) which were ranked according to the mean rank calculated for each layer. Results & Discussion:According to the positive opinions of the experts, the introduced strategies for two layers of structure and facade of target buildings were reviewed and confirmed; Based on the data acquired for the structure layer, 'Argo Factory' showed the highest Degrees of Freedom (df) for spaces and for the facade layer, the 'House of Artists' had the highest average rank for facade-structure conformity. However, in the facilities layer, the adaptability between the building facade and the structure was not confirmed.According to the results, the concentration of the structure in the lowest points with more free spaces was confirmed together with the adaptation of the facade to the structure as two characteristics in industrial buildings that were noticeable in the process of adaptive reuse of target buildings.Conclusion:For industrial buildings, Degrees of Freedom (df) for spaces are highly required due to their specific function, which can provide more future functions. Specifically, regarding the two industrial plants of 'Argo Factory' and 'Beryank Hosiery Factory' more free spaces are required due to the large scale of facilities and activities, similar to 'The House of Artists' and 'Qasr Garden Museum', which are facing a larger scale of population than other their counterparts. Such indicators can be effective in architectural heritage buildings for giving new future applications to them and improving adaptive reuse. Manuscript profile -

There is always a lot of challenges for technology exchanges and the needs of the industry. In the meantime, institutional existence is important to facilitate the process of technology exchange to increase interactions. However, as past experiences show, intermediary institutions in our country have not functioned well, and technological exchanges do not have the desired conditions. To this end, the purpose of this study is to provide a model for setting up such an institution. The method used in this study is quantitative. Initially, the functions of the intermediate entity were extracted and then, using the fuzzy Delphi technique, the proper functioning of an intermediary entity in the country was identified and divided. In the following, we study the effectiveness and effectiveness of the relationship between the factors using the fuzzy demilitarization technique and have been investigated using the Fuzzy Network Analysis Technique for weighting and prioritizing.

Therefore, most organizations are based on trial and error or based on the individual perspective of managers. This has made the success and failure of government organizations highly dependent on the individual tastes of managers. This issue has been considered as one of the issues determining the success of government organizations and due to lack of full attention to it or lack of comprehensive studies in this field, it has not been possible to achieve organizational goals. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a model for explaining the decision-making system in state organizations. Given the qualitative nature of the study, after library research and reviewing the related literature, in-depth interviews with experts are conducted. The outcomes are analyzed in the light of the Delphi method. In first, 93 indicators identified to explaining the decision-making system. After checking the indicators by experts, only 76 indicators were verified. According to the results of this research model, it was found that the most important components in managers' decision-making were, respectively, the priorities of "correct definition of the proble", "high motivation and self-confidence", "personal knowledge and experience", "effective scheduling mechanisms, timely design and implementation of decisions," and "experimental execution of decisions before final implementation of decisions".

Consequently, transportation of heavy, expensive equipment has drawn the attention of many organizations around the world. This paper proposes a multicriteria decision-making model to assess the performance of firms dealing with the logistics and transportation of heavy equipment. First, a number of evaluation criteria were determined by reviewing research works in this area, interviewing experts and using the Delphi method. Afterward, a panel of experts compared the evaluation criteria, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the relative importance of the evaluation criteria. Then, Fuzzy Technique of Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) was utilized to assess the performance of firms active in the area of heavy equipment transportation. Finally, the assessment procedure was conducted by ELimination Et Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE). A case study of firms active in the heavy transportation within oil, gas and petrochemical industries in Iran was used to implement the proposed multicriteria framework. Results of both Fuzzy TOPSIS and ELECTRE methods showed that the A7 organization is the leading one in the transportation of heavy industrial equipment. In addition, both these methods provided a similar ranking of other organizations active in the transportation of heavy industrial equipment. Manuscript profile -

This tools and techniques specify a prioritized projects list that should be selected for final allocation. Usually, using financial approaches can’t create an optimal portfolio especially in projects that have more uncertainty, this approaches can make wrong results. In these cases, these financial approaches should be combined with other approaches (such as strategic approaches) in order to make a balanced portfolio that is aligned with organization’s strategies and increase profitability and strategic adaption of projects. Besides, various investments are evaluated and selected differently and classification of projects in different portfolio allows organizations to evaluate, prioritize and select similar projects in the same portfolio by using similar tools and techniques. In this paper, we selected agriculture field as the case study and the manner of evaluating, ranking and conducting of projects by using investment projects categorizations and Delphi, AHP, and TOPSIS method has been discussed. By determining the type of business and investment and local criteria for each categorization, the results of this paper can be used in similar cases. Manuscript profile -

In this view, the key indicators of the integrated dynamic performance measurement in a competitive environment are considered as a necessary and unavoidable case. In this paper, considering the affective indicators of dynamic Performance to approach BSC in industry, we focus on the problem that how we can provide a mathematical and hierarchical affective model so that it has sufficient answers in the conditions of uncertainty in the fuzzy technics of AHP and TOPSIS; its aim is to recognizing and prioritize the effective indicators related to dynamic performance evaluation on the base of BSC with approach F.MADM in order to prioritize a set of dynamic indicators to increasing competitive power in industry. In order to determine the indicators, hierarchical tree of deceiving compiled during the sessions with the organization's experts. The statistical sample of the research includes experts and directors of the strategic area. Since these indicators used to prioritizing the decision tree indicators are considered as vocal variables, collecting the data is performed by questionnaire in a fuzzy way; so the multiple attribute decision making is fuzzy. The paper is an applied one and in the form of descriptive-measurable researches and it has a field importance; the solving approach of problems is in the type of mathematical modeling and the hierarchy of decision making of some group indicators is fuzzy. The results of analyzing the prioritizing of the factors and their grading by the two technics show that the indicator of expense, delivery time and quality can help to programmers a director of the organization in order to make long-term decisions for competition. There are also positive and strong coordination between the results of the validity of the answers of the two technics for dynamic performance evaluation of six alternatives. The fuzzy logic is used in order to design a way increasing the measurement of the occurrence of each performance indicator and the validity of the evaluation and programming process is performed in the content of EXCEL.

Having talented people can ensure the sustainable development and growth of organizations. The role of strategic talent management in government organizations in the development of employees' job skills is vital and essential, and without effective talent management in the organization, we will see a loss of organizational resources. Government agencies are generally at a very low level in terms of talent management due to the lack of a clear and competitive process. This is why designing a model that examines the factors affecting the talent management of employees is of great importance. In order to achieve this, this study has examined the talent management of employees in Iranian government organizations. The research method is qualitative and Delphi method. The present study, like any other research, is a library review of the relevant literature, and also the management of staff aptitude in order to classify and present the structure based on previous research. To review and answer the research question, an interview with a group of experts is conducted. They will be selected based on the method of judgmental sampling and snowball. The adequacy index of the number of interviews is the theoretical saturation based on which the researcher concludes that more interviews will not add more information to the current reserves of the interviews and finally the final qualitative model based on causal, strategic, intervening, contextual factors.

Parametric architecture relies on new methods, procedures, and tools in the design and form generation arena. The mentioned features can affect the type of communication and interaction with cultural context. Due to the fact that the architectural work must be formed in accordance with its cultural background in order to respond to human needs and also considering the capabilities of parametric architecture, it is important to propose policies in the field of parametric architecture based on cultural contextualism. This research has been carried out with the aim of policymaking of parametric architecture with the approach of cultural contextualism. This is a Basic-Developmental study that identified the considered criteria and components in the first stage through library research and relevant literature review. The Fuzzy Delphi technique was used for screening criteria in the second stage in which, the expert agreement was taken into account as the benchmark for evaluating the importance of criterias. The main purpose of criteria screening is to find valid criteria and eliminate redundant criteria from the viewpoint of experts. The results derived from the Fuzzy Delphi technique indicated that all scores confirmed the importance of criteria from the viewpoint of experts regarding the final grade point average and given threshold. Accordingly, there was an agreement on criteria evaluation, so they could not be eliminated. Since the final grade point average of all variables was confirmed, it was not required to continue the Fuzzy Delphi computations in the next rounds. Hence, the decision was made on selecting criteria in the first round. Moreover, experts agreed on the importance of criteria introducing form changes and vernacular patterns regeneration as the most important criterion rather than others. The experts introduced the mentioned criteria as the most important component by defining new rules for generating diverse patterns. Results indicated that the display of cultural themes in the frame of pattern-making through adaptation from patterns derived from vernacular patterns by defining new rules and principles has an important role in the policymaking of parametric architecture with the approach of cultural contextualism. Therefore, this point must be considered in the design. This case requires interaction between designers and experts in culture and architecture. Moreover, it is highly substantial to have access to relevant software and application in this field. Manuscript profile -

In this study, the morphological information of flower and spur in Delphinium species was studied to determine the importance of these characters in identifying species of this genus. Inflorescence condition, flower color, sepal flower, the color of sepals and petals comparative to each other, spur shape, spur curvature and spur tip were investigated. Statical analysis was conducted by SPSS software and cluster analysis was performed by Average linkage method. The results showed that flower color is one of the important traits in identifying Iranian Delphinium species, so that these genera are divided into two groups of yellow and non-yellow flower. Also, shape and spur curvature can differ from cylindrical, attenuate and inflatum. However, these character don’t correlate with distribution and the area where plant is grown. D. saniculifolium has a inflatum spur among specimens. Herbarium image of flower in different species are presented. Manuscript profile -

Differences between subgenera are in the form of seed and vegetative period. Olighophyllon and Delphinium, which are perennial and annual species, respectively. In this study pollen grains of 27 species were examined by Scaning Electron Microscope. Pollen grains were grouped into spheroidal, prolate-spheroidal and subprolate-perprolate. In this genus surface ornaments of grain were seen as scabrate ،microperforate scabrate- and scabrate-reticulate. To investigate similarities among genus for palynology characteristics, cluster analysis was performed by SPSS. Also, PCA analysis was performed and the most variable characteristics were determined. The results showed that the first component included P / E ratio traits, polar axis length and colpi length size, and the second component included equatorial axis diameter and mesocolpium size traits, which played the most important role in the similarities and differences of taxons. Micro-morphological studies of Delphinium pollen in this study show that closely related species do not have very similar morphological characters. Pollen characters could not group the species studied. Pollen Phenogram in this study provides useful information to determine the status of D. elbursense, D. saniculifolium, D. aquilegifolium, and many other species. Manuscript profile -

All students should manage to communicate mathematically, reason mathematically, and have an appreciation for mathematics. This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting mathematics learning by students. The meta-synthesis technique presented by Sandelowski and Barroso in 2007 was first applied in 7 steps. In the first step, questions were designed, and in the second step, papers were searched through keywords concerning the questions. In the third step, 215 found papers were filtered and 61 papers concerning the questions were obtained using the critical appraisal skills programme (CASP). In the fourth and fifth steps, the codes were extracted and categorized by MAXQDA software, and in the sixth step, two documents were re-coded by a member of the expert panel to confirm the validity of the coding, and the Kappa coefficients for these two documents were 0.64 and 0.68, respectively. In the seventh step, the outputs of the software led to the development of a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed based on CVI and CVR, and its reliability was confirmed by the Delphi method in 3 steps by Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W). The standard deviation of experts' opinions was 0.856 in the first round, 0.8297 in the second round, and 0.7951 in the third round. Kendall's coefficients of concordance for these three steps were 0.5569, 0.6720, and 0.7900, indicating high concordance of experts' opinions. Finally, 17 sub-criteria and 6 main criteria for learning mathematics were identified by meta-synthesis technique and checking the opinions of experts in mathematics education. Manuscript profile -

Expansion and density of communication network in the supply chain, on the one hand, and inevitability of some disorders, on the other, underscore the importance of measuring and evaluating suppliers. Supplier resilience defined as less influenceability from and the capacity to quell disorders, hence, requires more rigorous scrutiny. The aim of the current research was thus to identify and level suppliers’ resilience criteria at Avrand's Industrial Group supply chain using a combination of Fuzzy Delphi (FDELPHI) and Interpretative Structural Modeling techniques. The results of the FDELPHI method showed that 16 of the 27 criteria extracted from the literature review were verified by the team of 10 experts. Further, the Interpretive Structural Modeling was employed to offer a hierarchical model of the verified criteria. The results revealed a five-level hierarchy of resilience criteria with the delay time criterion at the highest level and the most influenceable factor and financial strength criterion as the most influential factor placed at the lowest level.

The desire of individuals to relate to similar tastes and choices in a social network leads to the formation of clusters or virtual communities. Such information can be useful for commercial, educational or developmental purposes and therefore a large number of algorithms for detecting communities have been presented. There are many algorithms for detecting communities on social networks. In this paper, using the label propagation algorithm and fuzzy Delphi method, an improved method is presented that can identify communities more accurately and quickly than other similar methods. Accordingly, in the proposed algorithm, instead of randomly selecting from the maximum labels of the neighboring nodes, the label with the highest weight is chosen. By doing this, random selection is eliminated, and stability and certainty in the outcomes of the algorithm are achieved. Manuscript profile -

Urban Smart growth theory provided infill development with the aim to guide a part of regional growth in urban centers and reduce the pressure of physical growth on the rural and undeveloped urban areas trying to emphasize on the development of cities and utilization of the existing infrastructure. Lack of accurate and efficient method for calculating capacity development and relying on development planning based on potential rather than capacity were intensified the need to develop the operational process to assess the development capacity. Because of the extent of this issue and the importance of the social dimension in the development process, in this paper has been paid to developing a framework for measuring the social capacity of infill development. Since there is no consensus on the index measured, primary index were collected after studying international sources and Delphi method were used to achieve consensus among experts (In partnership with 21 experts). In order to quantify the measurement of capacity development, AHP scoring method was used. The questionnaires (Statistical population consisted of 375 residents) were distributed.

So that the lack of diversity in economic contexts and job opportunities is one of the most important features of the country's villages. In this regard; the approach of diversifying rural economic activities should be considered as a useful solution. The aim of this study was to identify the challenges of diversification of economic activities in Langroud township . In this study, the Delphi method was used in two stages and 15 experts were purposefully selected to do this research. In order to analyze the most important challenges from the perspective of experts in this article, in the first stage, open-ended questions were used for 16 experts. In the second round, using content analysis of the results of the first stage, the second stage questionnaire was designed using the Likert scale. In this study, a panel of experts identified 113 problems in the development and diversification of rural employment. The results showed that the most important problems were "lack of close relationship between science and knowledge owners with producers and rural business owners, lack of motivation to do agricultural activities, lack of accurate, scientific and classified knowledge of employment-related officials about the concept of diversification in rural communities and lack of stability in the programs and executive policies in the villages of Langroud township" which resulted in a lack of job diversity.

Reduction in stem conductivity is typically caused by blockage of cut stem ends and xylem conduits by microbes, physiological plugging, and disruption of water columns in xylem vessels by cavitations and air emboli. Cut flower and foliage longevity can be greatly affected by the chemical composition of the vase solution. A broad range of biocides has been suggested to prevent the proliferation of microorganisms in vase solutions; however, their assumed antimicrobial action may be confounded by their other physicochemical effects. the effect of some chemicals on postharvest longevity and microorganisms in solution of cut carnation ‘Delphi’ evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Flowers harvested in paint brush stage and recutted to 60 cm stem length. Vase life evaluated in 20±2oC temperature, relative humidity 60% and 1800 lux light intensity. The results showed that flowers longevity has significant different (P£0.01) and copper sulfate and Halamid® (Sodium N-Chloro-para- Toluenesulfonamide) were the best treatments. Population (P£0.001) and relative water content (P£0.05) were significantly affected by treatments and Halamid® was the best treatment to microorganisms control and water content. Highly significant negative correlation of relative water content and the bacterial population in solution indicate that the main effect of bacteria in reducing the water uptake. Manuscript profile -

Ports as a base of maritime trade have changed a lot in recent decades, but in line with these changes, the Ports and Maritime Organization, as the main custodian of port and maritime policy, must adapt quickly, and this adaptation and the process of change in the next generations of ports of the country should lead to good governance in the management of port affairs.The evolutionary process of port governance shows that a single version can not be used for governance reforms in all ports of the world, so in this study we try to examine the factors affecting good governance at the organizational level. The present study is a descriptive-survey research in terms of applied purpose and based on its nature and method. In this study, we first identify the factors affecting good governance by examining past literature studies in a hybrid manner and then examine the components by surveying experts using the Fuzzy Delphi method and finally to show the causal reasoning between the components of the technique. Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping is used. Findings indicate that the components of Equal rights and Equity, Responsiveness & Accountability, Defining Outcomes have the highest degree of centrality, respectively, and this indicates the importance of the above components compared to other components of good governance in the Ports and Maritime Organization.

However, managing mutual funds is fraught with complexities and difficulties that arise from achieving optimal returns and cash flow management as the most important management criteria. Market scheduling, meanwhile, is an important dimension for mutual funds. With this approach, in this study, an attempt has been made to identify and rank the factors affecting the timing of liquidity in Iranian mutual funds. The results of the study showed that the returns of parallel markets and stocks (weighing 0.206), bank interest rates (weighing 0.194) and political developments (weighing 0.193) are the most important external and macroeconomic factors that affect liquidity and liquidity timing in mutual funds. In addition, among the internal factors, the three variables of ability and management skills of the fund (weighing 0.206), net value and percentage of cash assets of the fund (weighing 0.1734) and the risks facing the fund (weighing 0.1726) are the most They have had an impact on liquidity and the timing of liquidity in mutual funds.

In addition, the RAM aims to compare among projects, which is more risky. The construction of RAM is based on Delphi method for 41 risk factors, over 10 groups, are identified and used in the model development. All factors are analyzed and weighted by deploying Weighted Risk Factor (WRF) which combines the effect of a risk factor probability and its effect on time and cost. The model results identified the most important risk factors to be allocated to owner, contractor or shared between them, as well as the suitable risk action for each factor. The model is applied on a real case study through two construction projects in Guilan to test the validation. A complete comparison between the two projects is presented and a decision is introduced for contractor. The results emphasized that the model is easy to understand and use by the parties involved in construction projects. Further, it is flexibility in the event of variables. Manuscript profile -

The second phase employed a Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) approach to appraising the model, involving 300 employees in the automotive manufacturing sector. The outcomes from the first phase led to the creation of a model featuring eight constructs encompassing 41 items, specifically tailored for bottom-up Kaizen activities in the Malaysian automotive industry. Subsequently, the results from the second phase underscored that the bottom-up Kaizen activity model comprises seven constructs, wherein only statistically significant and positively influential factors for both direct and mediated paths were considered. This study has culminated in the formulation of a structural relationship model for Bottom-up Kaizen criteria, offering significant potential benefits and serving as a valuable reference for the Malaysian automotive industry.
