Sketches are one of the manifestations of architectural education and tell the designer's cognitive power. In other words, visual representations in the form of sketches are the most important means of expressing ideas and generating concepts for designers and architecture students. Examining the types and methods of drawing of design students shows that each of them uses a unique method and structure in drawing, and it is also a representation of mental ideas.Due to the wide use of hand-drawings in architecture, its growth and improvement are always the attention of designers. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to examine the factors related to it. Among the variables related to it is the cognitive power of the designer or architecture student in thinking and cognitive processing. Systemic thinking is a high-level thinking skill and one of the complex cognitive processes whose goal is to develop cognitive skills appropriate for the 21st century. Having systematic thinking along with understanding the relationships between social-environmental factors and variables gives students the power and the possibility to use learning opportunities optimally, therefore, students who have systemic thinking, the ability to understand the intricacies. In order to deal with it, it is necessary to examine the cognitive power of the designer or architecture student in thinking and cognitive processing. The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between architectural students' conceptual sketches based on systemic thinking and information processing styles in the design process. The research method is a combination of quantitative (descriptive-correlation) and qualitative (analyzing samples of students' Sketches). The statistical population of this research included all students of the Faculty of Art and Architecture of Hamedan Universities. 162 students were selected as a sample in an accessible and purposeful way and answered the questionnaires of systemic thinking and information processing styles. Conceptual sketches were also evaluated by two judges. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, skewness and skewness statistics) and inferential statistics (Pearson's correlation and path analysis). The results showed that experimental processing style cannot predict conceptual diagrams, but rationalist processing style and systemic thinking can predict conceptual diagrams. According to the findings of the research, the importance of rational information processing style in the design process was proved; Therefore, in this regard, it is suggested to teach this type of information processing style in addition to design education programs in order to optimize architectural education and train designers and promote conceptual sketches. In line with this research finding, which shows the importance of systemic thinking in the design process; It is suggested to teach this type of thinking and processing style in educational planning, and since thinking is a system of complex cognitive processes, it can be taught with suitable and competent curricula. By implementing curricula based on systemic thinking, students can be helped to become knowledgeable, self-directed and innovative people. Acquiring systemic thinking skills in universities can be the basis for the development of systemic thinking and the ability to understand complexity to provide training in people Manuscript profile

The purpose of this article is to investigate the obstacles to obtaining the necessary points to promote the academic rank of women faculty members in the framework of the "Regulations for the promotion of the academic rank of faculty members." The research method is descriptive survey and the data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire with 30 items. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. This coefficient was obtained as 0.91 for the whole scale. The statistical sample includes  71 women faculty members of state universities. For this purpose, 6 main universities were selected and by collecting the email address of the target community, an online questionnaire was sent in Google Form and data was collected. Data analysis showed that female academics placed the challenges of obtaining "executive activities" points in the first rank and the "research activities" points in the second rank. The challenges of earning points in the "cultural" and "educational" duties of the faculty member are of third importance. On the other hand, the two variables "family issues" and "organizational issues" at the same level, prevent the necessary points from obtaining the necessary points of the four axes of the bylaw, and with a large distance from these two variables, there are "individual and personality" factors of women. In this article, it is concluded that women with real obstacles due to engaging in family roles and mainly cultural characteristics of the university organization in an unequal competition with men in order to obtain the necessary points provided in the promotion regulations.

The purpose of this research is to systematically study the components of professional competence of faculty members in the universities. The research methodology is content analysis. For this purpose, by using thematic analysis techniques, the dimensions and components of the professional competence of Iranian university professors were extracted from the scientific articles published in the journals. The studied population was all related research articles indexed in the ISC database, finally 29 articles were selected and analyzed. To check the validity of the research, the method of negotiation with peers was used, and to confirm its reliability, the method of checking the coding and the agreement of at least two researcher coders was used. In this order, after identifying and determining the articles, the two researchers simultaneously and separately extracted and named the desired codes. And then they confirmed the similar cases and reported the disputed materials with negotiation and agreement. After the completion of the report, the third person, while reviewing the complete process and especially its coding, confirmed it. The rate of coding agreement between two researchers was used using non-parametric statistics, and the Phi coefficient was reported as 0.89. Scientometric techniques and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. Analyzes were done in Excel and MAXQDA10. Scientific findings show that with the passage of time, the number of researches conducted on this issue has increased. A large number of articles have been published in the "Teaching Research" magazine, with the organizational name "Islamic Azad University" they have done more research on this issue, most of the research done with a few articles and the professional records of the professors of "universities" "Comprehensive" has been done. It has been done from other universities. The findings of the theme analysis indicated that there was a difference between the competencies of the professors of different universities. All universities share "individual/personal competences", knowledge competences, "educational competences" and "communication competences", while some universities have a series of specialized competences in addition to these competences. Comprehensive universities have the scope of "professional competences" of professors, and Farhangian, comprehensive scientific-work and industrial universities have reported the lowest number of professional competences. The conclusion that comes from the research is that the type and nature of competence of specialist professions is a type of university where the professors serve. Manuscript profile

This study aims identify the existing problems of teaching scholarship faculty members. In this way, various aspects of these issues were tried and presented with respect to the context of the institution of university in Iran. The present study was conducted within the framework of the qualitative approach and using grounded Theory research method. For data collection from participants, in-depth and informal interviews were used. Selection of information media of the research was done purposefully and using sampling strategies with maximum variation and theoretical sampling the research media included 19 faculty members of comprehensive universities in Tehran. Data analysis was performed in three stages of open, axial, and selective coding. According to the findings, the phenomenon of bullying in faculty members' relations in Iran's higher education has verbal and social dimensions (Phenomena). This phenomenon has arisen due to organizational and individual circumstances (Causal Conditions) and resulted in reactions such as avoidance, conflict (Strategy). These reactions have been affected by the responses of the authorities, the persistence and common beliefs (intervening conditions), structure and academic culture (context), resulting in occupational, personal, social and economic vulnerability(Consequences). The function of education in this context is defined in three levels of good teaching (based on individual experience), scholarly teaching (based on the integration of content knowledge and pedagogy), and the scholarship of teaching (Teacher Education Publishing). From the faculty point of view, according to the phenomenon of bullying, teaching processes based on personal experience are organized, teacher empowerment and dissemination programs are not foreseen.

The educational performance indicators of faculty members were studied to revise faculty promotion and evaluation codes and forms using a descriptive-survey method that the required data was collected based on the opinions of the faculty members, students, and graduates of the Islamic Azad University. The participants were enrolled through the multistage stratified and convenience sampling methods until the theoretical saturation was reached. Data collection was done using questionnaires and documents. Data analysis was done using the open-coding table, central tendency of mode, and FAHP. The findings showed that there are more than 80 educational performance indicators for faculty evaluation, which can be used in faculty promotion and evaluation codes and forms, selection of the instructor of the year, etc. Due to the importance of these indicators, they were categorized into six groups from A to F and weighed based on two criteria, namely repeatability and vitality. A comparison of the current and desired status shows that more than half of the indicators used in the current instructor evaluation system are in the insignificant categories (E and F). Therefore, it is recommended to use indices with high importance factor (indices in categories A to D) in the faculty promotion and evaluation system. Manuscript profile

Despite extensive studies on the relationship between diet type and its effect on equine biochemical factors, little is known about horse serum and plasma proteins following changes in diet from forage to forage mixed with concentrate. Acute phase proteins are a group of serum proteins whose concentrations increase in response to infections, inflammation, trauma, and neoplasia. Therefore, in the present study, we evaluated the serum levels of serum biomarkers, fibrinogen and total protein concentration along with the nutritional behavior of horses during diet change. For this purpose, two types of diets, including forage (first treatment) and mixture of forage with concentrate (second treatment) were used for each horse for fifteen consecutive days. Complete blood cell counts as well as serum levels of fibrinogen, haptoglobin and amyloid type A were measured before and after dietary changes. Serum fibrinogen, haptoglobin and amyloid A levels were significantly increased in horses of the second treatment group compared to horses in the first treatment group (p<0.05). There was also a statistically significant difference in the complete blood cell count due to the change of diet from forage to forage mixed with concentrate (p<0.05). It seems that changes in the natural flora of the horse's digestive tract following a change in diet can protect the animal's body against acute inflammatory and traumatic injuries.

The research methodology was descriptive-correlational and the data was collected via field procedure. The statistical population consisted of all the faculty members and staff of Islamic Azad Universities (N=60000). The participants of the study were 800 faculty members and staff who were selected from among the population based on cluster random sampling. The sample size was determined using Morgan table. Out of the posted questionnaires, 569 were completed and returned by the participants. To assess work ethics and the ratio of perception of equality, a summarized version of Ali's questionnaire (1998) and Starvan's employees' perception of equality questionnaire (1996) were used, respectively. In order to confirm the validity of the questionnaires, the researchers submitted them to some professors in the department of Theology and Islamic Thoughts as well as to some other experts. Subsequently, the experts' opinions regarding all the questionnaire items were applied in modifying the scales. The reliability of the scales in a sample group, using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, was calculated 0.83 and using test-retest method, it was 0.76. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Qualitative data was described using percentage and frequency counts and quantitative data was illustrated using indices of central tendency and variance. Besides, based on the objectives of the study and data type, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used as inferential statistics. The results showed that, out of the maximum mean score of 5 for work ethics, the participants' mean score was 4.09 with the standard deviation of 0.48. The participants' mean score of perception of equality was 2.80 with the standard deviation of 0.70, out of maximum mean score of 5.

Kant differentiates between reflective and constitutive judgment explaining them in two teleological and aesthetic spheres. The judgment, in general, is a faculty which considers particular objects beneath universal law. If the niversal law has been given as priori, the judgment will be constitutive. If particulars are given and its universal law must be found, the judgment will be reflective. He tries to explain that as the faculty of understanding has its own priori principles, he also endeavors to figure out the priori principles for the judgment.

Passing the comprehensive exam is one of the usual and at the same time relatively unexamined conditions in doctoral education in Iran. This article examines the comprehensive examination from the point of view of faculty members and students in the Faculty of Educational Sciences of Islamic Azad University, Chalous Branch. The current research is an applied research in a descriptive and comparative manner, which was carried out in 2013, by examining 20 articles between 2013 and 2014. It was found that in addition to the traditional function of the test as a gateway to obtaining a doctorate degree, other goals have also been formed. Conflicting opinions have been raised about whether this test is designed to assess the mastery of material required for teaching or to assess the degree of preparation for conducting doctoral research. Using the comprehensive exam as an opportunity for learning and as a tool for identity formation, including familiarizing students with the pressures of university life, was also contrary to the traditional practice of its evaluation. Although the students were aware of the discussions related to the design and formation of the test, the objectives of the comprehensive test remained unclear to them. Additionally, faculty members did not always agree on the goals of the comprehensive exam. The difference in perspective and how it affects the implementation of the comprehensive test affects the student experience, including test preparation. In this article, the consequences related to the implementation, preparation and evaluation of the test are discussed. Manuscript profile

  Abstract The aim of this study was to predict the job involvement of IAU faculty members, Roudehen Branch, based on their philosophical mind-set. The main issue of this study is to answer the question whether philosophical mind-set has any role in determining job involvement. The research method used in this study was based on the assumptions of correlation studies. Two questionnaires of philosophical mind-set and job involvement (5-degree Likert Scale) were used for the purpose of data-collection. 130 faculty members, selected based on a stratified random sampling, proportional to population size (study group) participated in this study. The results showed that 19 percent of the variance in job involvement could be explained by the philosophical mind-set. To write formulas, the standardized coefficients and non-standardized coefficients were both used and the result is as follows: Philosophical mindset × .0224 + 394/8 = stuck in Job (not standard coefficients) Philosophical mindset × 0/435 J= stuck in ob standard coefficients) Manuscript profile
