The present article sociologically specified individual- social consequences of female employees` multiple role-playing conflict in Tehran municipality during 2018. Through the survey method of study and according to the statistical rules of determining the sample group, among 5600 people of the statistical society, 360 female employees in various districts of Tehran municipality were selected as the sample case in cluster multi-stage way. The data was gathered through researcher`s self-made questionnaire in 5 likert scale and 0.7 reliability and approval content validity. The main question of present research was to investigate the relationship between individual and social consequences with multiple role-playing conflict? The theoretical framework of the study was developed through Greenhous and Beutell (1985) conflict theory, rare and accumulation approach and extension theory. The results of Pearson correlation and linear regression revealed that there was a direct relationship among multiple role-playing conflict with job stress, rush and delay at affaires, physical burnout and family quarrel. However, there was an opposite relationship among women`s multiple role-playing conflict with their social support, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Thereupon, with the employment of women in the modernity era and the lack of men`s cooperation with women in household chores at home and managers in the office, with the strong patriarchy background; they will encounter with multiple role-playing conflict at home and office which cause different individual and social consequences too.

The purpose of the present study is the comparative review of the effect of two exercising plans on some body composition indices of the obese female girls in Ahwaz. To this aim, 45 obese students in district 1 of the education administration of Ahwaz were purposefully chosen and then they were randomly assigned to 3 groups of 15 girls. In order to control the participants’ dietary plan, the nutrition remembrance questionnaire was used. Body composition indices including body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), and body fat percentage in both pre-test and post-test stages were measured and registered. For inside group comparison, dependent t-test was used and for the comparison of the 3 groups, the variance analysis (ANOVA) as well as Tuckey’s Post Hoc in the significant level of 0.05 were used. The results showed that doing 8 weeks of aerobics and playing games both significantly reduced the BMI and body fat percentage but only playing games could significantly reduce the WHR (P<0.05). According to the results of the present research, it is recommended that in order to control children obesity, in addition to organized exercises, sport activities in the form of playing be used as well.

Knowledge-based city is a new concept in the new millennium. Although some signs of the concept of knowledge city can be traced to a decade ago, but it was since the begining of the twenty-first century that some cities around the world tended towards the concept of knowledg-based development. The present study reviews the role of new knowledge-based cities in enhancing national competitiveness in a new city named Andishe by using a descriptive- analytic approach. The results revolve around three main areas, i.e. knowledge-based, competitiveness, and modern developed. The multi-criteria decision analysis methodology (TOPSIS) was used to analyse the results. According to the findings resulted from TOPSIS, the sub-criterion “quality of life” for the advanced component, the sub-criterion “product factors” for the competitiveness component, and the sub-criterion “caring about the potential ability of citizens” for the knowledge-based, respectively, were the first three priorities. Thus, after integrating the sub-criteria, results show that “caring about the potential ability of citizens”, “high quality for life” and “access to information technology” are the first three priorities with 1, 0.377, and 0.324 respectively as their scores, and other sub-criteria, such as research activities, demand condititions, and trade networks are the last priorities, and their impact is less than other components.

The current research is cross-sectional in terms of its practical purpose, the nature of the current research is a descriptive correlation type that has been carried out quantitatively, according to the theoretical foundations for measuring social justice, the obtained components and sub-criteria for each of the criteria. A 5-point Likert scale was developed. In order to measure social justice from librarians' point of view, a questionnaire was designed with three dimensions: appearance, content and literary dimensions. The items of this variable were also designed based on a 5-point Likert scale. The validity of the questionnaire was measured through content and form validity and its reliability was also measured with Cronbach's alpha of 83%. The analysis of research findings has been done using SPSS version 23 statistical software, and Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression and path analysis tests were also used to test the hypotheses. The statistical population of the research is the total number of public libraries across the country, which are divided into five parts: north, south, west, east and center, based on the population in the north 1334 people, south 1276 people, east 1565 people, west 1095 and There are 1,981 centers with a total of 7,251 people, and since we are dealing with a large statistical population, 479 people were selected as cluster sampling using Morgan's table. In this research, the final questionnaire was provided to 30 librarians, which was obtained as described in the table and shows the appropriate reliability of the tool. Manuscript profile
