        AbstractBackground and purpose: One of the aspects of organizational learning is self-directed learning, in which the employees of the organization are responsible for their personal learning so that they develop specialized knowledge and the ability to transfer knowledge in new situations. The purpose of this research is to design a model of self-directed learning in the University of Medical Sciences using a hybrid method.Research method: The present research was conducted using meta-combination method in several stages at the University of Medical Sciences. After identifying the concepts and codes of factors affecting self-directed learning and evaluating, its validity and reliability, the initial conceptual model of the research was designed. From the 72 retrieved studies, 7 studies related to the purpose of the study were included for meta-combining. At the level of analysis and presentation of the model, Sandelovski and Barso (2006) Meta combination method was used.Findings: The findings showed that the research model included 6 factors influencing self-directed learning. These factors included self-efficacy, motivation to progress, self-management skills, desire to use technology, desire to learn and share knowledge. The identified factors were approved by experts.Conclusion: The importance of self-directed learning in organizations requires focusing on factors influencing it and institutionalizing these factors among employees. The new model presented for the University of Medical Sciences can be useful for managers and planners of the health system Manuscript profile

Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 and Excel software.Results: The findings showed that among the components of cultural intelligence; The strategy component and then the behavior of cultural intelligence have a significant relationship with organizational commitment. But there is no relationship between the components of knowledge and motivation and organizational commitment. Findings also indicate a relationship between librarians' age and work experience and their cultural intelligence and organizational commitment; While there was no relationship between librarians' education and gender with their organizational commitment and cultural intelligence.Conclusion: Considering that there is an undeniable connection between the components of cultural intelligence and the organizational commitment of librarians, it was found that the influence of cultural intelligence on organizational commitment is a task arising from the components of strategy and behavior of cultural intelligence.

        Objective: The main purpose of this research is to investigate the process of using databases and electronic journal services including Alert services by faculty members among libraries which delivered these services in Shahid Beheshti medical university (SBMU). Methodology: The research method was survey, and the data were gathered using a self- administered questionnaire. Study participants were 92 faculty members who were selected by a purposive sampling method among SBMU faculty members which declared they used Alert services. Findings: Our findings indicated that 52.2% of study participants started their searches for journal articles via PubMed. Using search engines and accessible databases in the university were second and third priority, respectively. 46/7% of faculty members review 2 to 3 pages of search results. The lack of article's full- text links in the search results were reported as a main problem and 92.2 percent of users preferred PDF format to study the articles. The most important reason for the use of Alert services was to become aware of updated articles published in their field, and their 1st step in following up articles was reading the abstracts. Faculty members had access to full- text articles through SBMU's subscription. Conclusion: Considering that the majority of faculty members searched for journal articles using PubMed and in the first place, and use subscribed SBMU's databases as their third priority, it is highly recommended to better introduce these database to faculty members which may lead to better utility of costs. In addition, introducing the advantages of the Alert services to faculty members by the libraries can be useful in becoming aware of updated and needed articles published in their field.   Manuscript profile

        The main purpose of this study is to design an appropriate model of human capital for managers of Lorestan University of Medical Sciences. Therefore, according to the results, this research is one of the applied researches. According to the type of goal, it is a descriptive-survey research.In terms of the type of data, it is a mixed exploratory research (quantitative and qualitative). In terms of the basis of the method, this research is one of the exploratory-survey researches, and since this research tries to provide a model in this regard, it is one of the exploratory researches.In this research, in the qualitative part of the data analysis, descriptive statistics indicators such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation and Kendall's coefficient of agreement (for ranking and prioritizing the exploratory factor) have been used.In the first round of the Delphi technique, an open-ended one-question questionnaire was presented to the experts. The group of experts of this research included 13 experienced professors in the field of human capital.

        AbstractThe aim of this study was to develop a multicultural curriculum model based on Foucault's views in medical universities of Semnan province. The applied study adopted a mixed-methods approach. The participants were selected using snowball sampling method and theoretical saturation criteria. 20 experts in the field of medical education and curriculum planning in Semnan were recruited. In-depth and semi-structured individual interviews were used to collect the data. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed by open, axial, and selective coding. After the initial design of the conceptual model of a multicultural curriculum based on Foucault's views to validate the model, the opinions of 18 medical education specialists in Semnan were used. At this stage, the researcher-made multicultural curriculum questionnaire based on Foucault's views with 70 items and four dimensions of purpose, content, teaching-learning and evaluation strategies with each dimension having three components of knowledge, attitude and skill in a five-point Likert scale was used. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the expert opinion and the reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha. Also, the composite reliability was confirmed by coefficients of 0.95 and 0.97, respectively. The results showed that the components of purpose, content, teaching method and evaluation were effective in explaining the pattern of multicultural curriculum based on Foucault's views.
