        Referring to narrations and assertions has been the most influential faith after Quran in the history of Islam. Scholars and narrators have tried to maintain and reserve narrations and assertions. Arab and Persian poets have enjoyed using these narrations in their poetry to increase the eloquence of their works. This has resulted in mutual ties between poetry and Islamic learnings and enrichment of Persian language, literature and culture. Using narrations and assertions not only adds to the eloquence but it also increases the beauty of content and form. Many poets have used them in their works and among them Molawi is a prominent one.

        The present study was conducted to investigate the relationships between self-efficacy, empowerment and happiness with self-assertion of school teachers in Isfahan city. The research method was correlation and the statistical population was primary school teachers in Isfahan, from whom a sample of 100 persons was selected through two-stages clustered sampling. The research instruments included Adult Self-assertion Guestionnaire (Gay, Halendorth and Gallasi’s, 1975), Empowerment Scale (Espriritzer, 1995), General Self-efficacy Scale )Schuartz and Juresalem’s 1995), and Oxford Questionnaire of Happiness (Argyle and Loo, 1989). The data were analyzed via Pearson correlation coefficient as well as multiple regression. The results indicated that all the variables under study Were related with each other, significantly (P < 0.01). Moreover, through examining the degree of relationship between self-assertion variable with other variables it became clear that if all variables entered into equation, self-efficacy and happiness would relate significantly with self-assertion but empowerment would not relate significantly with self-assertion.

        In wandering island and wandering cameleer, simin daneshvar confronts the audience with a discourse in which "action" is subjected to unusual circumstances.&nbsp; In this situation, the actor is always confronted with feelings such as anxiety, wandering, fear, challenging himself, insecurity, escaping the past and feeling insecure and rejecting one situation into another. For him every situation is a semantic hole that requires a jump energy to pass through. In such a situation, the actor loses the power of any action and becomes an emotional subject that wanders between too states of staying and not staying, becoming and not being. In this essay examines the existential conditions of the two wandering island novels and the wandering cameleer in order to find out what factors interfere with the process of action and passage into the existential state. In this descriptive-analytical&nbsp; study, this research has been attemped&nbsp; with regard to Griemas and tarasti&rsquo;s theories, we examine the signs and functions of wandering, the conditions of meaning production in the wandering island and wandering cameleer and shows how wandering through the negative-assertion process causes the novel&rsquo;s first character to break from his personal &lsquo;I&rsquo;. The result of this rupture is self-recovery and abstract congnition of oneself and those around oneself, and this cognition causes the first character of the story to be in a positive state, which is self-knowledge and domination, and the&nbsp; &lsquo;I&rsquo;&nbsp; realizes and transcends the unit of its existence.

        The effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral family therapy in the treatment of patients with psychosomatic musculoskeletal pain was examined. Applying an A-B single-subject design, three patients (two males and one female) with psychosomatic musculoskeletal pain in the areas of lower back and neck, referred to a private, psychological clinic, were selected as the sample. Clinical interviews, MMPI and ScL--R tests were done to measure psychological problems. Family therapy was done and post test results showed the effectiveness of cognitivebehavioral family therapy by promoting patients&rsquo; skills of problem solving and communication, effective coping and self assertion. Further research is suggested to assess the relative effectiveness of other kinds of therapy techniques such as drug, behavior, and individual and group cognitive therapy. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        6 - Moore’s Paradox and Wittgenstein’s View on It

        In his two articles, J. E. Moore refers to two sentences in each one there is contradiction between the starting part of the sentence and the ending part of it and this is named Moor&rsquo;s paradox: &ldquo;I went to the pictures last Tuesday, but I don&rsquo;t believe More
        In his two articles, J. E. Moore refers to two sentences in each one there is contradiction between the starting part of the sentence and the ending part of it and this is named Moor&rsquo;s paradox: &ldquo;I went to the pictures last Tuesday, but I don&rsquo;t believe that I did&rdquo; &ldquo;I believe that he has gone out, but he has not&rdquo;. The paradox, Moore thinks, is in the controversy between the paradoxical and absurdly speech one says on himself in one side and the truthfulness of that speech in the other. There are several problems about this paradox and one of them is that this paradox is related to not only the assertion but also the belief, thought and desires. The other problem is that in relation to the paradox we have to distinct the omissive version of it: &ldquo;p but I don&rsquo;t believe that p&rdquo; from the commissive version of it: &ldquo;I believe that p but ~p&rdquo;. the discovery of this paradox is regarded by Wittgenstein as the most important act of Moore in which a certain meaningless and absurdity has been revealed and he speaks of the deeply impact of it on him. This research will assess Moore&rsquo;s paradox regarding his commentator&rsquo;s views notably Wittgenstein. Manuscript profile
