As online social networks become more widely used, there is a growing focus on the role of recommender algorithms within these platforms. It is important to assess the accuracy of these algorithms in providing suitable recommendations. Our research demonstrates that the presence of individuals and acquaintances within social networks influences user behavior in ways that are largely psychological. Many user actions on a post are influenced by their respect or closeness to the post's owner. This article explores how the predictability of user behavior towards posts from friends and acquaintances highlights the impact of emotional connections stemming from stable social relationships on post acceptance. It also raises concerns about the potential for incorrect recommendations in algorithms based on collaborative filtering due to data bias caused by these factors. Manuscript profile

In recent years, mixing of land use and mixed development has become one of the important areas of research in urban studies. One of the important topics related to the mix of uses is how to measure it in urban areas. Due to the fact that in many researches, the mix of uses is assumed as an independent variable that affects other aspects of the urban environment, so how to measure it is very important to achieve reliable results. This research has been carried out in order to measure and evaluate the areas of Tehran metropolis in terms of diversity and mix of urban uses. This research is descriptive-analytical and practical in terms of targeting. The methods of collecting information and data are in the form of documents (municipal statistics and detailed plan). Shannon's entropy, Gray's relationship analysis, Shannon-Wiener and Simpson's dominance models were used to analyze the data and information obtained in ARC/GIS software. Region 3 ranks first with diversity index (0.496) and Simpson dominance index (0.059487). Regions 20 and 19 are ranked second and third respectively with diversity index (0.395) and (0.304) and Simpson dominance index (0.019127) and (0.007362). On the other hand, region 8 with the lowest diversity index (0.022) and Simpson dominance index (0.000006) is ranked last. It shows that 2 regions (4 and 1) are in very high condition, 2 regions (5 and 2) are in high condition, 7 regions (3, 9, 6, 22, 18, 16 and 15) are in medium condition. 5 regions (12, 11, 7, 19 and 20) are in low status and 6 regions (14, 13, 21, 10, 8, low and 17) are in very low status. Statistically, %9 of the regions are in a very high condition, %9 in a high condition, %32 in an average condition, %23 in a low condition, and %27 in a very low condition. Manuscript profile

Given the remarkable growth in online content and extensive user engagement, understanding user behavior and providing accurate content recommendations stands as a significant challenge in data mining and recommendation systems. This article introduces a comprehensive approach to enhance user profiling accuracy and increase precision in web page recommendations. It initiates this process by introducing an innovative feature called "user engagement duration with web pages," significantly aiding in improving user profiles. Leveraging these enriched profiles facilitates predicting a user's next web page visit. Evaluating this model, comparison with a scenario lacking this new feature demonstrates a substantial increase in prediction accuracy upon its inclusion. Additionally, we delve into cluster analysis, employing k-means and k-medoids algorithms, where k-medoids demonstrate greater diversity in sample clustering. The paper establishes the superiority of using k-medoids in this domain and emphasizes the importance of determining optimal cluster sizes. Ultimately, this research culminates in developing a web recommendation system capable of highly accurate predictions regarding the user's next web destination. Hence, the proposed approach enhances the model's precision in recommending links to users and promises further advancements in this field. Manuscript profile

One of the most important tasks of governments is to preserve and transfer the dominant political values, which is achieved through various factors that make virtual social networks one of them. Young people are the most important user of virtual social networks, and they are also at one of the most sensitive periods of political socialization. Therefore, the study of the role of factors affecting the political socialization of youth, which cyberspace is considered as the most important of these factors, is the goal of this research. The theoretical framework is a compilation framework derived from the theories of Giddens, Almond and Paul, Manuel Castells, Daniel Bell, Isabelle Ang and Elliott Katz, Harold Lasswell, Charles Wright, McCoyle, Robert Putnam, Max Weber, and Tickler. The present research method is based on the nature of quantitative data in terms of collecting time as a survey research. Multi-stage random sampling method is used. The sample size is calculated using the Cochran formula of 458 people. The results show that the greatest influence of independent variables on active user was (0.412), usage rate (0.174) and history of use (0.077). But the variables of the socio-economic base and the variable of media availability were not meaningful. Generally, the findings of the research indicate that virtual social networks act in the direction of informal political socialization. Manuscript profile

With the expansion of virtual networks, the production and reading of texts has undergone fundamental changes so that previous theories are not able to explain all the existing reality. This study uses an ethnographic study of social networks to combine the theory of Encoding-Decoding and articulation of Stuart Hall to draw a semantic model of Iranian users in virtual networks. According to the findings, this space has special features such as scattering of thoughts, expanding on issues, simultaneous or alternating presence of strategy and tactics forces, and confiscation and re-confiscation of space. Furthermore, existence of neutral mechanisms, powerfull other dening mechanisms includes traumatizing, putting the same values on all issues, reacting to sanctifying policies, theatricality, and completing news puzzles, and mechanisms related to collective self-creation based on tactical forces including icon-making and the formation of crowds, seek to giving chance to tactical forces and in other words, all the agents who have no power in the official space. The Iranian reading space is also accompany with active / passive, cross-sectional / continuous, and limited, intermediate, and macro activities. Finally, according to the characteristics of space and the mentioned mechanisms, three dimensions, including the collective production and interpretation of texts, ignoring the news and oppositional dialogue, were added to the dimensions of Hall readings, which shows that space empowers all actors to making sense.

Today, community participation is a topic that has been considered globally, especially in the field of architecture programming. Participatory approaches in architecture have been noticed during the las‌t two decades. Many s‌tudies show that paying attention to the users' demands increases the chance of success in a design, because they are more aware of their needs than those who look situated outside of the s‌tory. A few research, have s‌tudied users' participation during the process of school design. Lack of knowledge about the benefits of this approach and the limitation of funds are the reasons that this approach has not been considered by responsible organizations in our country.The dissatisfaction of mos‌t users about school architecture and its disability to fulfill some of the educational needs in mos‌t of the schools shows the importance of utilizing this approach in Iran. Nowadays there is a gap between opinion of school users and its planners (and or designers). So it seems essential that school programming should achieve by accompany of the community. The aim of this s‌tudy is to reach to participatory programming of the community school and presentation of users' participation, as a proposed model. In this regard, the users' opinion of Omolbanin primary school and residents of the Mollasadra neighborhood has been used by participatory tools; including participatory groups (parents, teachers & s‌tudents), interview and ques‌tionnaire (13 ques‌tionnaire by teachers & 87 ques‌tionnaire by parents & residents). In the firs‌t s‌tage, two ques‌tionnaires were set up. The number of completed ques‌tionnaires by teachers was 13. Of the 272 dis‌tributed ques‌tionnaires, between parents and residents, 103 completed ques‌tionnaires were delivered to the authors. Of these, 16 were not credible. Therefore, according to 87 ques‌tionnaires, information on architectural programming was obtained, such as identifying the needs of the community and identifying the shortages at the school and neighborhood. After analyzing and evaluating the ques‌tionnaire, the process of participation began through team working. These workshops were divided into three groups of parents, teachers and s‌tudents. Each workshop was began with a brief overview of the goals and displaying photos of successful schools, trying to break down the usual forms of participants' mental imagery. At the main s‌tage, they were asked to describe the elements of their desirable school with details, which resulted in the extraction of codes through relations of spaces and physical elements. According to the extracted codes at each s‌tage and the matching of the participants' planning ideas with the educational environment criteria, the architectural programming table was set. This qualitative research using a descriptive-analytical method for data analysis, and a library method, as well as interview and ques‌tionnaire in field survey as tools for data collection. The findings leads to setting the table based on received factors. The result of this s‌tudy is presentation of the proposed model of user participation in programming process of the community school that it can be effective in recognizing the actual needs of users and increasing user satisfaction in learning environment design.

Brand interest is an important concept in brand-customer relationships, and brand managers are trying to create popular brands, but this concept has been less focused on marketing research; the impact of brand image and brand on brand interest has been limited in empirical research. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the three concepts of brand personality consistency, brand image consistency and image consistency of brand use on brand interest, brand loyalty, attitude toward brand, and, finally, the effect of these three variables on oral advertising has been done. Data were collected through a questionnaire and data analysis was performed using the LISREL software and the structural equation technique. In this research, a sample of 200 car owners from Hyundai brand in Yazd city has been selected. This study provides evidence that the three self-concept concepts can create a completely different brand image in the minds of the consumer, which subsequently influences the attitude, interest, and brand loyalty of the brand. The findings show that brand identity and image consistency are more powerful predictors of brand interest, brand loyalty, brand attitude and oral advertising than consumer brand image consistency. The results of this research recommend marketing managers to pay particular attention to brand personality and image as intangible features and product simplicity benefits. It is suggested that future researches of various statistical societies, brands and different classes of products be examined. Manuscript profile

Purpose: This research examined library anxiety among students of Literature and Humanities college in Qom University and compared it in the following categories: Gender, education level (graduate and post-graduate), major (LIS and non-LIS) and the use and the lack of library use  prior to entering the university. Method: The sample included  225 students.The research instrument was a refined version of the Bostick's original library anxiety scale including 35 statements. Frequency distribution and independent t-test were used in order to analyze the data. Findings: Findings indicated that the total mean of library anxiety in the researched group was 88.76. The results of the independent t-test showed that library anxiety scores were higher in women than men students and in the non-LIS major students were significantly higher than in LIS. However, the mean anxiety scores were not significantly different in students who had benefitted the library prior to entering the university and those who had not. There was no significant difference in the varios educational levels. Furthermore, this significance was only associated with physical barriers and no significant difference was reported in other factors affecting the library anxiety. Conclusion: Studying library anxiety is important because the students need to use the library for selecting research subjects, and gathering data for doing their studies and conducting their dissertations. Library anxiety can have negative effect on their educational performance and quantity and quality of their scientific productions. Manuscript profile

Background and Objective: The land use pattern represents the distribution and horizontal combination of urban applications, which plays a very important role in the distribution of pollutants and urban air quality. The impacts of these pollutants can be identified in the location of pollutants (industrial, commercial, office, residential, etc.), as well as its impact on the distribution of urban travel and subsequent emissions from urban traffic. The main objective of this study is to investigate the role of land use pattern and physical structure in spatial variations of pollutants in Tehran during the period of 2011-2018.Material and Methodology: In order to achieve this goal, Landsat satellite images and also data from the Air Quality Control Center of Tehran in 2011 and 2018 were used. Kriging model was arranged using Arc GIS software to classify satellite images and specify types of applications using artificial neural network method in ENVI software and also to determine the concentration of air pollution in Tehran.Findings: The results of spatial correlation analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between spatial structure changes and air pollution in Tehran during 7 years.Discussion and Conclusion: The results of land use change and air pollution indices indicate that construction in the west and north of Tehran has increased the concentration of pollutants in these directions from the city. If the change from downstream land to urban green spaces in the east and south-east of Tehran reduces the concentration of pollutants urban air has been in these areas.  Manuscript profile

Background and Objective: Urban parks are considered as public spaces and the basic rights of citizens; paying attention to opinions and wishes of citizens is a necessity in their satisfaction of environmental factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the security factor as one of the environmental quality factors from the user’s point of view in urban parks, which can guarantee the citizens' satisfaction in urban spaces using. Method: This study is an experimental research with functional goal and a survey method with gathering data by distributing questionnaire in urban parks. In this study security indicators are based on the CPTED theory. The number of statistical samples was 175 (users over 15 years old).Data analysis has been performed using SPSS and multiple regression analysis has been used to predict the contribution of each sub-indicators in security satisfaction. Findings: The results of the partial correlation test between the factors with considering other factors indicate a significant relationship between security and aesthetic factors, meaning and aggregation, and no significant relationship between security and structural and physical factors ,and behavior patterns. The aggregation factor has the strongest relatinship to security. Also, the indicators presented in the security factor are affected by different degrees. The gender variable has no significant difference in the mean of security, but the variables of age, marital status, educational level and occupational status have affected average satisfaction in security. So that people with a higher average age, married, graduate and house wife have higher expectations of security than other groups in their subset. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this study can help managers, planners and urban designers in implementing appropriate models to create safe urban parks that meet the preferences of users. So they can implement spaces according to the needs of users by considering the wishes and priorities of each group.   Manuscript profile

Background and Objective Land surface temperature is a vital indicator for studying environmental changes, hydrological conditions and the energy balance of the earth, which can also be used to monitor the temperature changes of cities. The lack of meteorological stations in most parts of the country, including the study area, has created information limitations in the field of surface temperature data. There are also a large number of non-remote sensing users who need LST maps, and most of them are not familiar enough with LST computing software and inevitably have to spend a lot of time mapping to prepare their maps. This process can be time-consuming even for remote sensing professionals if the number of images is high. The use of valid data for validation that has the least time difference with the satellite passes time is very important in estimating the accuracy of the results. By reviewing internal research similar to the one under study, most internal studies used only meteorological station data to validate the results, the data recording time at these stations is different from the satellite passes time. In this study, due to the large area of the study area and the insufficient number of meteorological stations, in addition to the surface temperature data measured in synoptic stations, the land surface temperature in two ground stations was recorded simultaneously with the satellite. Creating a graphical user interface (GUI) to automatically calculate the surface temperature of Ardabil city with two single-channel and RTE algorithms and use the results to evaluate the temperature changes of land usesMaterials and Methods In this study, in order to automatically calculate the land surface temperature of Ardabil city from three types of data: Landsat 5 and 8 satellite images, land surface temperature data recorded at two meteorological stations in the study area and also due to an insufficient number of stations Meteorological data land surface temperature data measured with digital thermometers are also used as the satellite passes. After preparing thermal and multispectral images, first MODTRAN web computing software was used to model the atmospheric transferability and atmospheric coefficients were extracted. Then, to create graphical user interfaces and automatic calculation of LST, land surface temperature with two algorithms single-channel and RTE method with Landsat 5 and Landsat 8 satellite images for two dates: 31/07/2000 and 21/08/2019 in MATLAB software were coded and using these codes, graphical user interfaces were created for each algorithm and finally, an automatic land surface temperature calculator application was produced. Also, the land use map of Ardabil city for both mentioned dates was classified and extracted using a random forest algorithm in the Google Earth engine system environment with 7 classes. This algorithm has a much better performance compared to traditional methods such as maximum likelihood due to its hierarchical structure in selecting each pixel to the appropriate class. To validate surface temperature maps from two types of surface temperature data recorded in two meteorological stations and surface temperature recorded by a digital thermometer that simultaneously passes the satellite in two points of the homogeneous non-urban environment with agricultural use (alfalfa) and Bayer that product It was harvested, used. To evaluate the accuracy of land use maps, using Google Earth, which has a better spatial resolution than the image used, 248 ground control points were obtained from pure pixels of different land uses and used in the validation process. Also, statistical parameters such as error matrix, overall accuracy and kappa coefficient were applied to the output of both land use maps.Results and Discussion Using the codes written in MATLAB software, graphical user interfaces (GUI) were created and then the automatic LST calculator application was produced. The output of the application was surface temperature maps with single channel algorithms and radiation transfer equation (RTE) for 31/07/2000 using thermal image (band 6) of Landsat 5 satellite TM and 21/08 / 2019 was created by the 10 TIRS sensor band of Landsat 8 satellite. After comparing the output maps with the meteorological station and ground station data, the results showed that the single-channel method had the lowest temperature deviations compared to the stations in both years. After preparing LST maps and selecting the optimal algorithm (single channel), land use maps of Ardabil city were prepared using a random forest algorithm in the GEE platform. Statistical evaluations of the classification results showed that for 2000, the highest pixel interference was related to the middle and poor rangeland class, which has a 16-pixel displacement with residential and rainfed agricultural classes. Due to the improved spatial resolution of the Landsat 8 satellite compared to the Landsat 5, followed by better class separation, this pixel displacement in the 2019 user map shows a smaller value. The most common error was related to the aquaculture class, which had a displacement of 10 pixels with rich rangeland and rainfed agriculture classes. Finally, using the LST map and land use map, the temperature changes of the land uses over a period of 19 years were evaluated. By entering the input images and atmospheric parameters in the application, the land surface temperature was calculated with two one-channel algorithms and the RTE method. Evaluation of output maps with meteorological and terrestrial data showed that the single-channel algorithm with a difference of +2.5 and -2 with stations 1 and 2 for the year 2000 and with a temperature difference of +1.3, +0.9, -1 and -0.9 with stations 1, 2, 3 and 4 in 2019, respectively, had higher accuracy than the RTE method. Also, the results of validation of land use maps showed an overall accuracy of 0.95 and a kappa coefficient of 0.94 for 2000 and overall accuracy of 0.96 and a kappa coefficient of 0.95 for 2019.Conclusion Assessing the relationship between land surface temperature and land use maps showed that despite the significant physical growth of the urban sector over a period of 19 years, except for residential areas, all land uses in 2019 compared to 2000 with an increase in average surface temperature. It seems that factors such as the expansion of agricultural lands with irrigated cultivation around the urban area up to a radius of 10 km and the entanglement of these farms with the urban sector have a great impact on the temperature adjustment of the urban sector. In 2000, these lands were mainly under cultivation of rain-fed crops, and by solving the water problem (digging deep wells and water transfer projects), they became orchards and irrigated farms such as potatoes. Due to the high water requirement, these products also have high greenery, and this factor has increased the rate of evapotranspiration, followed by cooling of the cultivation area and the urban sector.

Monitoring land use change is important in many planning and urban management activities. Due to human activities and natural phenomena, the face of the earth always changes.Therefore, for optimal management of natural areas, awareness of the land use change ratio is considered necessary. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and reveal land use changes, especially the use of vegetation cover in the Auchan region, from the functions of Minoodasht city of Golestan province in a 30-year time span using remote sensing and spatial information systems and MATLAB, ARCGIS and ENVI software.For this purpose, Landsat satellite ETM sensor was used from 1987, 1993, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2008, 2013, 2015, and 2017, and after making necessary corrections in the preprocessing stage, to monitor vegetation time changes, the index Vegetation cover (NDVI) was calculated in MATLAB software for each 9 time intervals.Then, by using the calculated images of the first 7 years and the model of the neural network (time series), the images of the eighth and ninth year were predicted and obtained, and then calculating the RMSE error between the output images of the model with the actualImages, the validation model it turned out the results show that the model with an average RMSE of about 0.13 was very good for the NDVI.The CA model was used to predict vegetation changes. The results show that the vegetation cover in the last two years, 2015 and 2017, has been upgraded by the neural network model and the study area has become greener Manuscript profile

The research tackles the pressing quality crisis in urban areas, particularly in green spaces. Landscape architects argue that the current approach lacks a comprehensive perspective, prompting the study to explore "landscape" from both objective and subjective angles. Systematically adopting visual and mental perspectives, the research aims to enhance urban space quality, emphasizing landscapes' dual nature beyond mere greenery. The primary goal of the study is to establish indicators for understanding and measuring landscape quality, drawing on the perceptions of local users of urban green spaces. This approach stresses the significance of considering both citizen perspectives and specialists in the field, treating urban spaces as landscapes. The research seeks to bridge the gap between the current and desired quality, ultimately improving the presence and usage of urban green spaces. The methodology involves a literature review for identifying qualitative indicators and exploring the relationship between them, along with a T-test to examine urban dwellers' preferences. In addition to these foundational aspects, the research findings reveal a pronounced quality imbalance between the two studied regions in Tehran (17 and 2). The observed disparities underscore significant differences in the tastes of urban dwellers and reveal a notable gap between these preferences and specialist beliefs, suggesting a potential avenue for achieving balance by concentrating on mediatory indicators. The study provides valuable insights for prioritizing key indicators based on user perspectives to enhance the quality of urban green spaces . Manuscript profile

New technologies have made it possible to make fundamental changes to the banking system and financial processes. Banks use new technologies based on their own circumstances, including the level of training and readiness of customers. In the meantime, the lack of a clear understanding of the level of adoption of bank customers from digital services is a key issue for the banking industry. Recent research does not measure the view of both users of technology that includes bank customers. One of the major challenges facing banks today is the accurate understanding of factors affecting user behavior. Therefore, this paper has been conducted with the aim of investigating the factors affecting the intention to use the customer in the banking system. The research model is based on technology acceptance model and theory of planned behavior. This is an applied research. Data were collected through a survey of 200 questionnaires distributed among users at the Mehr Bank Branches of North Khorasan Province. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were analyzed by SPSS and Amos softwares. The results of the analysis show that the effect of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the confirmation attitude and the effect of attitude and perceived usefulness of the intention to use in the customer is direct and significant and the effect of behavioral control on the intention to use, is significant and inverse. But the effect of subjective norms on intention to use is not confirmed. Manuscript profile

The presence of social media has brought about fundamental changes in today's societies. These media are a good platform for users to share ideas. This has caused users to encounter a lot of information that is not suitable for them most of the time and has little influence on them. Providing a way to select effective posts for the user among a multitude of posts can be very important. The methods presented in recent research for selecting effective posts are based on statistical features related to various microblog data and less in terms of content content, each post has been measured on a specific user. Despite the variety of topics, content of tweets and different users, most of these methods are not accurate by providing a general model based on a large number of features and are not able to provide online predictions. In this study, by analyzing the dissemination of posts among users in a specific period of time, a method for measuring users' attention to shared content and their effects is examined. This method is named IKS, which is based on the characteristics of content published by The user is presented as a binary classroom problem based on in-depth learning. Evaluation of this method has been done using intuitive method and data set evaluation which is more accurate compared to other methods. Manuscript profile

Recently,social networks have attracted special attention. In various social networks, users are constantly expressing their public as well as private opinions on various topics. Twitter is one of these social networks that has become very popular in the last decade. This social network provides organizations with a fast and effective way to analyze customers' feelings, views, and criticisms of market success. Emotional analysis is a process in which people's opinions, feelings, and attitudes about a particular subject are extracted. There has been a lot of research on emotion analysis based on user comments, documents and articles. Analysis of what is being said is very different from Twitter data, because Twitter tweets are limited to 280 characters and force users to express their feelings concisely. The best results in emotion classification are obtained from machine learning techniques such as simple Bayes and support vector machine. In this research, a method for analyzing emotions in social networks is presented. In this regard, we have tried to improve the classification of text by Bayesian method to some extent by focusing on the stages of data preprocessing and feature selection.users' feelings are analyzed. The classification problem has been formulated and solved using the latest achievements in the field of machine learning. . To evaluate the proposed method in this dissertation is from the Twitter data set scenario. The proposed method is compared with other classification methods. Has shown the best performance.

Today, cyberspace activities and capabilities are recognized as an integral part of enhancing the quality of life. This has made identifying and analyzing the performance of individuals in the business interactions of this space an important part of marketing studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of internet shopping sites in daily life. Behaviors that arise in the form of a tendency to shop without planning online or to insist on shopping online without planning. One of the new cognitive responses addressed in this study is trans-social interactive behaviors. This applied research with a descriptive-correlation approach has investigated these behaviors. The statistical population of this study is customers of DigiKala online store (Alborz province). Data were collected by a questionnaire and analyzed in two parts: descriptive and inferential. The results show that enhancing product appeal through shape and color enhances people's enjoyment of the product. Similarity among users also has a positive impact on the formation of users' social interactions in the social business environment. Therefore, the closer buyers are to each other in terms of age, ethical characteristics, level of education, and income, the more and more societal interactions occur between them. Based on these results, Internet product and service vendors can better market share by classifying the market according to its characteristics. Manuscript profile

Languages have been born, flourished, lived, and disappeared.  But nowadays they are dying with unprecedented speed. Every year 10 languages are disappeared all around the world and linguists predicted that if this situation continues, 90% of languages will be disappeared. Since cultures depend on languages, flourish with languages and continue with them, so each culture will be disappeared with death of each language, too. On the other hand, each language prepares social, economic, and ecological situation for its speakers and also provides them a special worldview. Therefore, death of language implies death of all the necessary opportunities for social and cultural life. In this article it is tried to study the death of language as cultural problem and its reasons. The methodology is documentary and the thoughts and theories of linguistics and researchers of anthropology and sociology are used and also, the recent century changes (about death of languages) in the whole countries that faced with this problem have been considered. The result shows that different psychological, geographical, economical, political, and social factors affect the death of languages. These factors include some micro reasons such as preserving the mother tongue and some macro reasons such as decreasing number of native speakers, natural phenomenon, globalization, colonialism, and role of national states. So solving this problem needs attempts and changes in both macro and micro levels.   Manuscript profile

      Public disclosure "Tash-heer" is one of the discretionary punishments which most jurisprudents consider as the chief punishment against perjury (false testimony) and according to the jurisprudence, it can also be enforced against false accusers of adultery ( Qazif), pimp (Qawad), defrauder (swindler) and insolvent. There are disagreements among jurisprudents regarding the philosophy, the cases and the qualities of enforcement of the public disclosure.  In the Iranian Statute Law, the public disclosure (Tash-heer) has also been recognized as one of the discretionary punishments and in various laws, including two important criminal laws, i.e., Islamic Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code, cases applied and the method of enforcement has been stipulated.Today, two important questions are put forward in this regard: Firstly, can public disclosure as a punishment be used against offenses other than the crimes mentioned in the jurisprudential texts while having recourse to the unity of a single criterion (Vahdat-e-Melak) and manipulation (Tanqyh Manat) against other offenses including the emergent crimes? Secondly, despite the development of the societies and the advancement of technology and the emergence of the mass media such as TV, newspaper, internet, etc. shall public disclosure as a punishment be enforced as it was previously practiced and turn the offender around in public and/or can these media be used for the enforcement of the public disclosure? Subsequent to studying and conceptualizing the public disclosure in jurisprudence, stating the cases, the philosophy and the quality of enforcement of the public disclosure as well as expressing the views of the jurisprudents and also the status of the public disclosure in the Iranian Legal System and as stipulated the relevant legal articles, this paper makes an attempt to respond to the above mentioned questions through a descriptive and analytical method.  Manuscript profile

Introduction: Since the beginning of the 20th century, with the start of startups, there have been changes in the shape of coworking spaces that are suitable for the needs of today's societies. In addition to providing a suitable platform for the presence of people with startup and creative thinking, the coworking space creates the possibility of random interactions and the growth of creativity by responding to the social needs of users. Physical proximity between people with different abilities and talents increases the possibility of cooperation, teamwork, informal learning and individual growth. Among the few weaknesses of the coworking space, we can mention the distraction and lack of concentration of the users; Therefore, the purpose of this research is to know the level of solitude in the coworking space and to analyze its role in meeting the needs of users and to examine it in a case study (Metre Moraba Co-working space of Mashhad). Methodology: In the first step, the information was collected using the library-document method, and authentic written researches were used to compile the theoretical foundations and background of the research. In the second step, data collection has been done by the field method (presence in a case sample and using the tools of observation and interview and questionnaire). Through the observation tool, the authors picked up the characteristics of the environment and the behavior of the employees, and through an interview with the architect and manager of the meter moraba complex (Dr. Yalda Golriz), they got to know the concepts and the construction process of the project, and also by presenting a questionnaire to 11 users present in In the fall of 1401, the metre moraba collection investigated the role of solitude in responding to the needs of users. In the third step, through inferential studies, the levels of individual and group solitude have been analyzed in the examined sample (metre moraba coworking space). Results: The findings show that solitude plays an important role as an important factor in meeting the needs of users in a coworking space. Considering the existential role of solitude in creating concentration, creativity, flourishing of ideas, improving the work efficiency of the audience, it is necessary to provide individual and collective solitude in the shared work space. Examining the spectrum of solitude in the metre moraba. group shows that the collective spaces have quantitatively occupied the largest area of the space and qualitatively created collective solitude for the users. However, individual spaces are not quantitatively responsive to users, and qualitatively, they do not provide enough concentration, peace, and privacy for the audience; Therefore, in order to provide optimal solitude (individual and collective solitude), solutions have been presented in order to improve solitude. Conclusion: To create a sense of solitude in the interior, one should pay attention to simplicity, comfort, and natural elements and use appropriate decorations and lighting. These factors help the user to create a quiet and secluded space that is suitable for rest and relaxation. Work spaces with optimal privacy (simultaneous provision of individual and collective privacy) play an important role in advancing work goals (group and individual), therefore, in order to achieve optimal privacy, it is suggested to improve individual privacy quantitatively and qualitatively in the set of Metre Moraba Co-working space.

Design of architectural space, Specifically an academic space in this research, while congested without being aware of the coherent spatial structure and sometimes with the Breakdown, creates high density or abandonment of different parts of space. This paper examines the relationship between spatial structure and user movements in the central campus of Tehran University. For this purpose, the campus ,with seven colleges, a mosque, a central library and other related buildings, was tested that was used to analyze the spatial structure of the "space syntax" method. The method of doing this research is simulation using the Depth map software. A case study ,which is valuable in terms of architecture and scientific and cultural values, was also used to conduct the research. In this analysis, four factors in social, Physical and behavioral subgroups has been investigated Which is ultimately compared to the natural motion factor. The results have been analyzed and the tables for this simulation are extracted and discussed. results show a strong and direct meaningful relationship exists between the value of the integration of space derived from the space syntax analysis and the motor behaviors of users. Therefore, one of the important reasons for users' congestion in some places, as well as being abandoned in some other places, is due to the physical structure of the site. Based on the results, changes can be made to user mobility Considering the proposed architecture in the campus of university. This research also focuses on the methodology for analyzing and evaluating space syntax on a case study. Manuscript profile

The necessity of urban public spaces is undeniable as one of the main pillars of sustainable development in everyday life. Nevertheless, we are witnessing the lack of attention paid to urban planning and design criteria in urban development projects. In the meantime, the park is one of the spheres that provides lodging for community visits, spending leisure time , citizens’ participation, and improving the city's social life. According to the present study which was carried out in the family park of Mahabad in 2018, using descriptive-analytical method and data gathering through a survey method, the stability of the understudy space based on indicators such as sustainability of the space, as well as the measurement was investigated. The most important factors affecting the promotion of sustainability in this space have been discussed. Measurement done by Cronbach's alpha test, reliability of the questionnaire, and the results of KMO and Bartlet tests confirmed the adequacy of the sample size as well as the internal and structural validity of the questionnaire. The results of statistical analysis indicate the unstable condition of space in all of the studied components (except in the components of socialization). Also, the results of structural equation modeling using PLS software showed that components related to comfort and mental image, which refer to comfort, tranquility, and physical and psychological security of space users, have the greatest impact on sustainability improvement in the understudy space. Therefore, in order to organize and strengthen the space, these categories of components will be prioritized and implemented. Manuscript profile

Abstract – Joint bit allocation, relay selection and subcarrier assignment are critical for achieving full benefits of OFDM-based cooperative relay networks. In this paper, first such a problem is studied in a dual hop OFDMA cooperative network consisting in multi source nodes, multiple decode-and-forward (DF) relays and a single destination node. The aim is to minimize overall transmission power under the bit-error-rate (BER) and data rate constraints. However, the optimal solution to the optimization problem is computationally complex to obtain and may be unfair. Assuming knowledge of the instantaneous channel gains for all links in the entire network, an iterative three-step resource allocation algorithm with low complexity is proposed. It performs the privileged user selection based on fairness criterion first, and then allocates subcarrier-relay with the given constraints. Finally, power and bit are assigned to the selected subcarriers based on the water-filling algorithm. In order to guarantee the fairness of users, several fairness criteria are also proposed to provide attractive trade-offs between network performance (i.e. overall transmission power, average network lifetime and average outage probability) and fairness to all users. Numerical studies are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm in two practical scenarios. Simulation results show that the proposed allocation algorithm achieves an efficient trade-off between network performance and fairness among users. Manuscript profile

The aim of this study was to compare social adjustment and academic achievement in two groups of students: users and non-users of the internet. The research method was sectional-comparative. The population of the study was all 16-17-year-old internet-user and internet-non-user high school students in 2014. The subjects of the research were 400 male and female high school students in Tehran. Non-user students were selected through stratified sampling method and users were selected using matching sampling (same range of age, gender and socioeconomic status). The instruments used in this study were the adjustment inventory for high school students (AISS) and a researcher-made questionnaire for assessing demographic characteristics. To measure the students’ academic achievement, their averages of the first and second semesters were compared. Data analysis was conducted using the t test and one way analysis (ANOVA). The results showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in academic achievement. This means that user students achieved higher marks in school. But, no significant difference was observed between the groups in social adjustment. Also results of ANOVA showed the effect of computer use on academic achievement is the same in both male and female students and in both group increase academic achievement. These findings have important implications for planners and educational administrators about teaching students how to use the Internet. Manuscript profile

To provide the food necessities have been a major priority of government projects through recent decades. So, development of agriculture has been considered as a pivot. The lack of water resources because of rising the demand in agriculture, industry, drinking water and environment (as a result of growing population) has brought up the maximum utilization of existing water resources and the improvement of exploitation and production. In country  such as Iran, which water contains a limit potential, the development of agriculture is dependent to it. Thus the existing utilized water and the utilizable one do not meet agriculture development process and growing population’s food. So management of optimum utilization of water along with demand management are important factors to make possible the firm development in economy and agriculture. Leaving the management of systems to private sector or utilizers and their participations are of the proper policies. Manuscript profile

نهادینه کردن تعاونی‌های آب‌بران یکی از سازوکارهای مدیریت مشارکتی آبیاری است که بسترساز مشارکت کشاورزان در غلبه بر مشکل کم آبی در رسیدن به اهداف مدیریت پایدار آب کشاورزی به شیوه‌ای اثربخش خواهد بود. هدف کلی تحقیق حاضر، شناسایی زمینه‌-های بهبود تشکل‌های آب‌بران و اولویت‌بندی مولفه‌های موثر در توسعه و تقویت تشکل‌ها می‌باشد. جامعه آماری تحقیق را، کارشناسان صاحب نظر و اعضای هیأت مدیره تعاونی و همچنین کشاورزان نمونه‌ای که عضو تعاونی آب‌بران درسال 1394 می‌باشند (40 نفر)، تشکیل می‌دهد که انتخاب افراد مورد مصاحبه به صورت سرشماری (تمام شماری)، انجام گرفت. پس از مصاحبه و تکمیل پرسشنامه‌ها، برای رتبه‌بندی ساز و کارهای بهبود و ساماندهی تعاونی‌های آب‌بران، از روش تحلیل سلسله مراتبی (نرم افزار اکسپرت چویس 11) استفاده گردید. براساس وزن نهایی معیارها، به ترتیب ساز و کارهای حمایتی(0/266)، مدیریت آب کشاورزی(0/261)، اقتصادی(0/183)، آموزشی و ترویجی(0/123)، قانونی(0/090) و نگرش اعضای تعاونی آب‌بران(0/076) قرار گرفتند.با توجه به این که سازوکارهای حمایتی، مدیریت آب کشاورزی و اقتصادی به عنوان مهم‌ترین سازوکارهای بهبود تعاونی آب‌بران هستند، از این‌رو پیشنهاد می‌گردد سازمان جهاد کشاورزی با همکاری بانک کشاورزی تسهیلات و اعتبارات بانکی با بهره خیلی کم در جهت تبدیل آبیاری سنتی به آبیاری تحت فشار در اختیار بهره‌برداران قرار دهد.

Cyberspace as an emerging reality with its functions and shaping cross-border interactions, has been able to affect various aspects of human life, one of the most important of which is the field of national identity. The argument here is that borderless communication in cyberspace has led to changes in people's attitudes toward their national identity, and has therefore left many societies in the throes of a national identity crisis. The main point here is that cyberspace has also influenced the tendencies towards national identity in Iran, so that as a result of this influence, many Iranians have been exposed to fundamental questions about their national identity. In other words, the expansion of cyberspace and Increasing its use in Iran has been able to reduce the tendency of many Iranian users to their national identity. This situation has made it necessary for the State of the Islamic Republic to adopt appropriate policies in various fields in order to meet this challenge, which is one of the most important areas, the field of media. The present study believes that the State of the Islamic Republic, by reforming its approaches and policies in relation to broadcasting organization and cyberspace, can help strengthen the tendency of members of Iranian society to their national identity and prevent a national identity crisis in the country. It should be noted that the method of this article is descriptive-analytical. Manuscript profile

Since the inception of mobile apps, user feedback has been extremely valuable to app developers as it contains users' feelings, bugs, and new requirements. Due to the large volume of reviews, summarizing them is very difficult and error-prone. So far, many works have been done in the field of extractive summarization of users' reviews; However, in most researches, old methods of machine learning or natural language processing have been used, or if a model has been trained for summarizing using transformers, it has not been determined whether this model is useful for summarizing the reviews of mobile users. No? In other words, the model for summarizing texts has been presented in a general purpose form, and no investigation has been carried out for its use in special purpose summarization. In this article, first, 1000 reviews were randomly selected from the Kaggle database of user reviews, and then given to 4 pre-trained models bart_large_cnn, bart_large_xsum, mT5_multilingual_XLSum, and Falcon'sai Text_Summrization for summarization, and the criteria Rouge1, Rouge2 and RoungL were calculated separately for each of the models and finally it was found that the pre-trained Falcon's AI model with a score of 0.6464 in the rouge1 criterion, a score of 0.6140 in the rouge2 criterion and a score of 0.6346 in rougeL The best model for summarizing users' reviews is the Play Store.
