Their significance is due to just in time delivery and the efficiency of different commodities including food, clothing, energy, computer hardware. This has stimulated researchers and experts to analyze supply chain problems. Meanwhile, uncertainty has penetrated every level of our lives and we encounter it every day. The present paper focuses on green supply chain that consider uncertainty conditions to solve a model for designing a forward green supply network (environmental)under uncertainty of future economic conditions in Iran Khodro Company. The problem of designing the aforementioned network includes hypotheses including multi-commodity, multi-layer and one-period. Due to inconsistent economic conditions, uncertainty has been differently tackled here as compared with previous literature. In this problem, several important parameters have been considered as indefinite including customers’ demands, operating expenses, the productive capacity and relocating capacity of facilities. The proposed model also considers the contamination of production section and the transportation system of the chain and tries to reduce it by suggesting an objective function and Eco-indicator 99 method. As well, production and distribution centers operate in a dual-purpose manner. Saving costs and reducing contamination due to applying transportation supplies and common infrastructures are among the benefits of this method. Considering the complexity of solving this problem and its NP-hard nature, the meta heuristic method of genetic algorithm with non-dominated sorting (NSGAII) was analyzed and finally model performance was examined with a numerical example and solving it with MATLAB and GAMS software.

In the meantime, the paradigm has been created with concepts of identity, such as culture and religion, and created a specific objective and mental effects with respect to particular spatial situations. The core of the cultural landscape is seen by three elements of the environment, time, and man. The two-way relationship between each of these factors leads to the creation of a new element. Human beings reminisce over time and shape history. A factor that has been one of the main cornerstones of culture in human life and human history (requiring space to remain in time).The presence of human beings in the environment and its experience will lead to the formation of space, a place where human presence is meaningful, and the agent that creates the dimension of memory and creation of the mind in the landscape.Rites are a symbolic social show that appears under certain conditions in the community, and it is up to the people of the community to act in that particular way. Rites in all human societies are sacred acts That members of the community feel committed and committed to doing so. The ritualistic aspect is part of a cultural perspective that reflects the customs, ceremonies, religions and religious rituals. Ceremonies such as the Nowruz ceremony in Iran, the celebration of cherry blossoms in Japan, the celebration of watering in Thailand, cheesecloth in the UK, and many others are nature-shaped ceremonies, rooted in respect for natural elements. The ritualistic view as a subset of the perspective and as an important part of the cultural landscape is considered to be the reaction of society to its spiritual needs.The ritualistic view as a subset of the landscape and culture has the same characteristics of both. According to the definitions given in the ritual section, the ritualistic aspect is initially formed in the context of nature; Because nature, the bed and the creator of the elements constitute the ritual. Nature is the context in which man and history are formed, and their interaction with nature leads to the creation of culture and religion. Perhaps the strongest link in the nature and customs of the people can be found in ritual and sacred centers. From the past, living near human nature has been very important to humans Therefore, this paper tries to identify the effects of its appearance in Iran by examining the concepts of the landscape and the ritual and the recognition of the ritualistic concept. The research methodology of this paper is of a qualitative type and combines an analytical-descriptive and citation research method.Based on this, using a library method and using authoritative sources, a wide range of sources related to the landscape and religion was studied. By comparative study, inferential and inference method was used to analyze the cases presented in the ritualistic viewpoint And its aspects have been addressed. Manuscript profile -

According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp constraints and then a lexicographic ordering method is used for solving the resulting MOLP problem. However, this approach cannot be used for finding the fuzzy optimal solution of FFLP problems with inequality constraints. The aim of this study is to point out and correct some errors in the definitions, notations operations and fuzzy ordering of the current approach for solving FFLP problems with fuzzy inequality constraints. Hence, a modified approach to obtain the fuzzy optimal solution of the FFLP problems with inequality constraints is proposed. Finally, several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed approach. Manuscript profile -

In this paper, the orienteering problem with variable profits, fractional objective function and demand on arcs is studied. An appropriate integer programming model is proposed to solve it. In this case, the purpose is to determine a route for a vehicle so that it maximizes the profit, the start and end of its route is at the origin, serving demands of customers, and does not exceed a maximum allowed travel time. In the orinteering problem with variable profits and fractional objective function the customers are located on vertices of the graph corresponding to the problem. Next, a problem is considered in which the service is performed on arcs. The resulting problem is called the orinteering arc routing problem with variable profits and fractional objective function. We solve the problem by bisection method. In the end, the numerical efficiency of the proposed model is examined. The proposed algorithms can solve problems in a reasonable amount of time. We will also see that the time of solving problems depends on their graph structure and not on their size. Manuscript profile -

Today, with the planning of a sustainable supply chain, in addition to achieving economic goals, it is possible to meet social and environmental objectives and considerations. This research deal with sustainable closed-loop supply chain network design and operations planning problem in which is human resource employment and training are considered. First, a three-objective optimization model is developed in which the supply chain network is designed and strategic variables (such as location and capacity determination, technology selection, skilled or semi-skilled employment and training, and etc.) are obtained. Then, a multi-period model is proposed supply chain operations planning in which the amount of production, inventory, shortage, temporary recruitment of manpower, etc. in each period are determined. In the proposed strategic model, a trade-off between the objectives of minimizing the cost of the supply chain (economic), maximizing employment (social), and minimizing environmental impacts is done by augmented epsilon constraint method. Also, Benders decomposition algorithm is used to solve large-scaled instances. In the final section of the research, some numerical studies are presented to provide numerical results, managerial insights and evaluating the performance of the proposed model and solution approaches.

One of the most important methods for solving multiobjective optimization problems is to use scalarization techniques. In these methods, a single objective optimization problem corresponding to the multiobjective problem is solved, and the relationship between optimal solutions of the single objective problem and (weakly, properly) efficient solutions of the multiobjective problem is investigated. In this paper, a combination of the modified constrained and elastic constrained scalarization methods is considered, which will provide necessary and sufficient conditions for generating approximate (weakly, properly) efficient solutions. We compare the results with the necessary and sufficient conditions obtained from the modified constrained and the elastic constrained methods. The presented results can be applied for every multiobjective optimization problem without any convexity assumption for the objective functions. ‎Unlike many of the previous methods, the obtained results are also consistent with multiobjective problems with unbounded criterion space.

Properly efficient solutions are one of the most important theoretical and practical concepts that represent the behavior of the objective functions during a process change. Actually, these solutions are those efficient solutions that filter the anomalies of objective functions at some points, and this will help the manager to decision making to choose more important solutions. One of the most important tools for obtaining solutions with bounded trade-off in multi-objective optimization field is the Sum weighted scalarization method, which many authors have been studying it in interactive optimization field. This paper provides a method for obtaining properly efficient solutions near the ideal point with a theoretical and interactive view and using Sum weighted scalarization method. Since being near to ideal point will be abele to a preference of decision maker; this method examines the preferences of the decision maker without sacrifice the theory. Therefore, this paper presents an approach to finding properly efficient solutions near to the ideal point. Manuscript profile -

In this paper the problem of selecting and optimizing securities portfolios with different modeling goals has been solved and compared. The designed models have considered both the nature of the portfolio selection issue and the considerations considered by the shareholder in the portfolio selection. The uncertainty quality of the future return of a given portfolio is estimated using fuzzy LR numbers, while its return torques are measured using possibility theory. The most important purpose of this paper is to solve the problem and compare portfolio selection models with simultaneous optimization of two, three, and four objectives. For this purpose, the NSGA-II genetic algorithm is used and the mutation and intersection operators are designed specifically to generate possible solutions to the cardinality constraint of the problem. Finally, the efficiency and performance of the models in case of using fuzzy logic and not using it have been compared and it has been determined that the use of fuzzy logic and possibility theory leads to the formation of portfolios with higher performance and higher efficiency.

Employing some advanced tools of variational analysis such as the approximate extremal principle and the weak fuzzy sum rule for the Frechet subdifferential, we first drive a fuzzy necessary optimality condition of a non-smooth/nonconvex multi-objective optimization problem without any constrained qualification in the sense of the Frechet subdifferential. Then by exploiting the obtained fuzzy optimality condition, the non-smooth version of Fermat’s rule and formulae for the limiting subdifferential of an infinite family of non-smooth functions, we establish a necessary optimality condition in terms of the limiting subdifferential for weakly robust efficient solutions of the reference problem. Further,we present an example to illustrate this condition for an uncertain multi-objective optimization problem involving equality and inequality constraints.Finally sufficient conditions for weakly robust efficient solutions and robust efficient solutions of the problems are provided by presenting new concepts of generalized convexity.

The main disadvantages of this method are finding similar non-dominated points for choosing different parameters and thus increasing the computational complexity of the algorithm and reducing its overall performance, which is not cost-effective in terms of time and cost. In this paper, a modified is made to ε-constraint method, which, due to the intelligence of the algorithm, the unnecessary areas that lead to the production of the same non-dominated points are eliminated from the beginning. Therefore, additional computational efforts are eliminated to produce the same non-dominated points. Discussions and details of the proposed method, with its algorithm, are presented and in the numerical examples section, the efficiency of the proposed method is compared with the ε-constraint method.

Since Epsilon constraint is one of the most important technique in interactive problems, therefore in this paper, due to the importance of robust optimization and multi-objective programming problems, we consider Multi-Objective Linear Fractional Programming (MOLFP) problem in the presence of box-uncertainty in the coefficients of the objective functions. We propose an approach based on ε-constraint and Charnes-Cooper methods to obtain weakly robust efficient solutions, that have special importance in the literature, for a MOLFP problems in the presence of uncertain data. Charnes-cooper method is applied to reduce a fractional programm to a non fractional programm. At the end we write the robust counterpart of the UMOLFP model in the presence of the box-uncertainty and it's equivalent linear programming problem: Finally a numerical example is used to show the usefulness of the proposed approach.

HHC services providers are looking for the optimal solutions in planning and scheduling HHC service delivery to maximize the satisfaction of patients and nurses in addition to minimizing the costs to patients. Accordingly on the one hand, the patients prefer to be visited at some specific periods based on their nursing skills. On the other hand, nurses are willing to provide services during their desired time windows. Following the rules corresponding to the working times in the contract, observing the soft and hard time windows, and taking required breaks are some of the restrictions that must be considered.The main objectives of this paper are to minimize the total traveling times and overtime of all nurses and to maximize the satisfaction level of patients as well as nurses, which are achieved through a multi-objective mathematical programming model.The proposed model considers the preferences of the nurses, as well as their patience. Moreover it establishes mandatory breaks for nurses after a certain period of work to assign qualified nurses to patients, optimize schedules, and determine the route of nurses, and provides high-quality services. Finally by applying the proposed model to a set of different random test problems, and by considering the stopping criterion on the problem solving time, we analyze the numerical results corresponding to optimal scheduling and allocation.

In the literature of fuzzy linear programming several models are offered and therefore some various methods have been suggested to solve these problems. One of the most important of these problems that recently has been considered; are Fully Fuzzy Linear Programming (FFLP), which all coefficients and variables of the problem are the same kind of fuzzy numbers. One of most common of them is the model in which all fuzzy parameters are discussed by triangle numbers. In this paper, we first define a fully fuzzy linear programming with trapezoidal numbers and then suggest a new method based on reducing the original problem to the problem with triangle number. Specially, a conversion function for converting two trapezoidal and triangular numbers to each other is offered. Finally, the mentioned method is illustrated by a numerical example.

Economists study the characteristics of the production function, while community operating management focuses on demand realization, so that loss of sales or inventory prevents cost reductions and maximizes profits. However, companies with a lack of capacity need to achieve economies of scale and demand to realize them simultaneously, especially when corporate demand is fluctuating. But always the customer's demand is not equal to output, the demand level may be less than the maximum output level of the highest productivity scale (MPSS), between the highest output level of the MPSS and the maximum output level, or greater than the maximum output level. In this paper, we intend to find the highest level of productivity in relation to the demand for active insurance companies in 1396 in all three scenarios. In fact, we will examine the applicability of Lee's (2016) paper in insurance companies in Iran. Manuscript profile -

To solve this problem simplex algorithmis utilized. In real projects costs and the value of supply and demands are fuzzy numbers and it is expected that optimal solutions for determining the value of commodities transported from a source to a destination be obtained as a fuzzy. So the first idea is to present the in the full fuzzy condition and then an algorithmwhich is of importance for solving such a problem. In this article, a new algorithm is suggested for solving fully fuzzy transportation problem. This algorithm transforms the fully fuzzy transportation problem into a triple-objective problem and then it utilizes a weighted method for solving multi-objective problems and solves the new problem using simplex transportation method.

For this purpose, financial data of stock companies, inputs and outputs variable, the risk measure and investor’s preferences must be considered. By considering these items, we propose a method for portfolio optimization. In this paper, we used financial data of companies for screening the stock companies. We used Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) as a risk measure, because of its advantages. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) can be used to calculate the efficiency of stock companies. Conventional DEA models assume non-negative data. However, many of these data take the negative value, therefore we propose the MeanSharp- CVaR (MSh CV) model and the Multi Objective MeanSharp- CVaR (MOMSh CV) model base on Range Directional Measure (RDM) that can take positive and negative values. By using Multi Objective Decision Making (MODM) model, investors can allocate their capital to the stocks of portfolio as they like. Finally, a numerical example of the purposed method is applied to Iran’s financial market. Manuscript profile -

Using inaccurate evaluation data, network training has improved and the number of educational data sets has decreased. The available training method is based on the gradient decent method (BP). One of its limitations is related to its convergence speed. Therefore, decision makers can simply guess the necessary data. In this paper, for increasing the Decision Neural Network training efficiency, a conjugate gradient based method has developed for network training. The key point in decision neural network training is to keep the same structures and parameters of the two sub network (multilayer perceptron) through training process. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated by estimating linear and nonlinear utility function of multi-objective decision problems. The results of the proposed method are compared with previous existing method and show that in the proposed method, convergence is faster than previous methods and the results are more favorable.

Pair formation is an important step in pair trading that examined manually and this method fails in the multivariate mode and does not consider conflicting goals in the problem structure. The main problem in this study is to present a method that creates multivariate pair combinations with multiple contradictory goals and focusing on the integration approach. Therefore, a combination of stocks optimized for two opposite objectives: risk (mean-reversion) and return (spread variance) to form a set of profitable multivariate pair trading opportunities. The statistical population is companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The statistical sample limited by the need for high-frequency transactions from the top 50 companies. The problem developed in the form of a mixed integer-programming model (MIP), and due to non-convex constraints and exponential space, a multi-objective genetic algorithm used to obtain pair combinations. To achieve multiple goals, an advanced type of genetic algorithm; The Chaotic Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (CNSGA-II) was used. The Chaos theory used to create the initial population of the genetic algorithm in order to obtain appropriate and high-precision solutions. Research has shown that the use of chaos theory can increase the degree of convergence in evolutionary algorithms. The results of the experiments of this study show that multi-objective pair trading strategies focusing on the integration approach have a significant advantage over the traditional single-objective model.

The data needed to implement the real problem in 2021 have been collected by through the regional office of the Tehran blood transfusion organization along with the Negareh system. Due to the Np-hard nature of the problem, the proposed model is solved using three algorithms of GA, NSGA-II and MOPSO in GAMS software.Results: In the proposed model, matching the blood type in meeting demand; blood type delivery and allocation system in laboratories and blood banks, blood wasting in laboratory, transfer of products between demand centers, sensitive and determinative parameters of the model such as; demand, blood donation and delivery time of blood products between network components are considered indefinitely. The findings show that the MOPSO algorithm has a better performance in problems 3, 7, 10 and 12 for the QM index, but generally, based on running times and their average, the NSGA-II algorithm is better.Conclusion: Based on the results, the proposed model leads to a reduction in total costs, total delivery time of blood units and unapproved demand of hospitals.

This study investigates objective and subjective price knowledge and the effects of price consciousness, price search behavior, purchase frequency, time availability, and perceived price dispersion on the two knowledge dimensions as well as the relationship between objective and subjective price knowledge. This paper uses a sample of 270 consumers of Shahrvand supermarkets in Tehran; data were collected from a questionnaire, and structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. Price search behavior and purchase frequency had positive effects on both subjective and objective price knowledge, but time availability had no significant effect on objective or subjective price knowledge mediated by effects on price search. Furthermore, perceived price dispersion had a negative effect on objective price knowledge. Price consciousness had a positive effect on both subjective and objective price knowledge mediated by effects on price search and purchase frequency, but price consciousness had no significant direct effect on subjective price knowledge. Finally, objective price knowledge had a positive direct effect on subjective price knowledge. Manuscript profile -

In fact phenomenology of timeconsciousnessconcerns itself with the structure of the act of perceivingthat allows us to apprehend a temporal object as unified across itsmanifold moments. In this approach time is no longer the measure ofmotion, the psychological characters of soul and even thetranscendental presuppositions of cognition. Husserl distinguishes threelevels of time for our consideration: (1) world[ly] or objective time; (2)personalistic or subjective time; and (3) the consciousness of internaltime. According to Husserl our experience of temporal objects consistsof three aspects: 1. protention, 2. retention and 3. primal impression.Protention is a process by which anticipations are formed concerningwhat will shortly be experienced (in primal impression). 2- Retention isa process by which something that is experienced-as-present remains inconsciousness and sinks back. 3- Primal impression which is thecomponent of consciousness that is narrowly directed toward the nowphase of the object. The primal impression cannot be thoughtindependently of its temporal horizon. Thus all experience entails atemporal horizon. This article attempt to explain Husserl's account oftime-consciousness.

This phenomenon wasspecially prevalent during early decades of the twentieth century in theWest.This article aims at studying the meaning, status and dominance ofscience in some fields such as psychiatry, cosmology andanthropology. It shows that science is not perfect in providing a verycomprehensive pattern for recognition in these fields. This weaknesswhich originates from the limitations found in the essence of science, isa result of this fact that science, according to its definition andempirical method, is unable to recognize all the possible data.Scientific Psychiatry, by emphasizing only on its empirical method,will end up to physiology, because psychiatry only insists on theobjective symptoms of a diseases regardless to the fact thatpsychological disease are mostly rooted in (human) personality andsubgectivity of a person.Aslo in anthropology which is based on science, the true meaning ofhuman being is missed in its numerous appearances.So, through philosophical criticizing of the science and determining itstrue meaning, it will be possible to find the meaning, importance andpossibility of philosophizing and it's intercommunication with scienceduring a period which is known as science era Manuscript profile -

MoreIn this research, the theory of probabilistic causation is investigated.The main idea of this theory is that the cause changes the probability ofhappening effect. The causation in this theory is introduced as anobjective relation and it is based on inherent properties. The causalrelation is attended in type level. Otherwise human cognition of naturalphenomena is not definite and determined; the process of cognition isapproximated to the truth. In another words, with the acceptance offault of human cognition, man suggests a probable frame forexplanation of his findings. Probabilistic causation uses the probabilitytheory as a tool for explaining the relationship between cause andeffect. Probabilistic causation is proposed in two levels: type level(General causal) and token levels (Singular causal). In this research,like Eells’s approach, probability causation relationship in type leveland it is considered in General causal meaning. Causal relation isconsidered as typical factor or Property. There are two differentinterpretations: objective interpretation and subjective interpretation.What is explored in this research is objective interpretation in the frameof frequency-propensity interpretation. The main question in thisresearch is consideration in the sense of probabilistic causation theoryand pondering the capability and merits of this concept in against withontological and epistemological challenges.

Water reservoirs are the most commonly used water resources systems for supplying domestic demands whose incorrect management may lead to unsuitable water resources protection and huge financial losses. Approximately in all of the reservoir design, operation and management problems, real reservoir system case studies are studied and analyzed according to the existing conditions and their objectives. Under these conditions, it can be very useful to define and introduce a sample reservoir system which can be investigated for all conditions and objectives. In this research, a three-reservoir system is presented for the first time, considering all physical and hydrological parameters beside three general objectives of generating hydropower energy, supplying downstream demands (agricultural, municipal and industrial) and flood control. The obtained results are quite logical, with a natural trend based on the logically defined data for the sample reservoir system. Therefore, this sample case study is capable of showing the performance of reservoir systems in different states of single or multi reservoirs and single or multi objectives. As a result, the presented reservoir system can be used as a sample case study for introducing and developing different methods in solving water reservoir system problems. Manuscript profile -

One of the most effective structures in the field of non-point source management is wet detention pond. However, generating the cost-effective pond configurations that satisfy system-wide aims for total target sediment removal will be much more effective and efficient; but most of these structures are designed individually. In order to generate the cost-effective pond configurations, coupling the optimization algorithm with hydrologic simulation model is one of the best applied methods. Materials and Method In this paper, an optimization-simulation model is presented for generating a cost-effective pond configuration in the watersheds. Obviously, more and larger ponds can catch more total suspended solids (TSS) from the watershed, but this will consequently lead to the increase of the cost of pond constructing. Multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm is applied for determining a Pareto front between two opposing goals namely the loading TSS from the watershed and related cost of the pond designing. Result and Discussion The Pareto front can be used by the watershed authorities for a better controlling of the loading sediment from the watershed. The applicability of the model is studied in a watershed in the west of Iran. Manuscript profile -

Method: This study introduces a bi-objective supply chain network which uses a fuzzy approach in order to include uncertainty in parameters of the model and apply it to a real case. Moreover, this model takes environmental and economic issues into account simultaneously. This consideration occurs in production and recovery technologies. Furthermore, the aim of the represented model is to choose the optimal production technology at all centers, the optimal production planning, facilities and location and the optimal number of those technologies which must be purchased. The fuzzy model is converted to an auxiliary crisp model by Jimenez approach and then solved with є-constraint. For the large sized problems, the Multi Objective Differential Evolutionary algorithm (MODE) is applied. Findings: It was shown that the cost objective functions and CO2 emission objective function are in conflict with each other, implying that any increase in one of them leads to decrease of another one and vice versa. Totally, it can be concluded that the -constraint method and the MODE method are appropriate and qualified methods for solving the auxiliary crisp model of supply chain network design problems.

These studies have been performed in two different approaches. The first approach is based on measurable objective criteria and surveying the interaction between these criteria and the second one is based on recognition of the conceptual criteria from the point of observers view. The aim of this study is to identify the most important criteria affecting the landscape visual quality. Method: In this study, objective and subjective criteria of Ziarat basin, where is one of the tourism poles of Golestan province, were prioritized from the point of aesthetic value using the second approach. A questionnaire was developed and distributed among 100 visitors. Data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS software and the criteria were prioritized using ordinal classification. Results: From total of 23 objective and subjective criteria which were surveyed in this study, the first 5 criteria with the highest score were: pristine area, cleanliness of environment, waterfall visibility, visibility of diverse point and color diversity of a landscape. These 5 criteria could be introduced as the most effective criteria on scenic value of the study area. Conclusion: The subjective criteria introduced in this study could be used as a perfect series of effective criteria which affect the perception of visitors in the other regions too; however, selection of objective criteria for evaluating the visual quality would be different according to geographical location, climatic and topographic characteristics of the area.

In this paper, some of the challenges of simultaneously multi-objective portfolio optimization are addressed. Four different models are designed: a fuzzy multi-objective programming model has been used to consider the multi-criteria nature of stock selection and the uncertainty associated with the return on assets and a simple model for doing this. The models are designed in such a way that both the nature of the multiplicity of the problem of portfolio selection is considered and the considerations of the investor in the choice of portfolios are involved. After designing the evolutionary 3 and 4 objective models of portfolio optimization, multi-objective evolutionary algorithm NSGA-II was used to solve this models. Concretely, it optimizes return, the downside-risk, skewness and the Kurtosis of a given daily returns, taking into account budget, and investor constraints. Because of the NP-HARD nature of the above models, the NSGA-II proprietary algorithm was coded in the MATLAB, and after solving each model and extracting the Pareto frontier, the best portfolio on the Pareto front was selected based on the maximum Sortino ratio. Finally, the results of the obtained portfolios in both fuzzy and non-phase conditions were compared according to the trainer's ratio, and it was determined that the use of fuzzy logic in quadratic evolutionary algorithms, compared to a situation where fuzzy logic is not used in the design and use of these algorithms., Creates more favorable results.

In this research, the method of M Banish score model has been used to identify suspected fraudulent companies. In order to analyze the data and test the hypotheses, the simulation model of Mishkin (1983) has been used with combined data approach and multivariate regression model using Eviews version 10 software. The research findings indicate that the sustainability of the cash component of profit is significantly higher than the accruals component of the earnings and investors predict less and better the components of the financial sustainability of the cash component and the earnings accrual respectively. The results also show that the mental sustainability of the cash component and the earnings accrual is higher than their objective being. In other words, investors value the profitability of suspected drug fraud companies incorrectly, and the capital market does not work well with the components of profit information.

In this regard, the optimal asset allocation in the core and satellite portfolio including the degree of risk aversion were studied. The core component of the portfolio represents an index fund selected by the use of a heuristic genetic based algorithm, which assures the level of risk-return realization comparable to the market index. The satellite component is consisted of selected mutual fund investment units and is managed actively in order to beat the market index. An EGARCH model was used in order to simulate the required data, and a multi goal objective function as maximizing the excess return and minimizing the variance relative to the index was implemented for the modeling of the core-satellite problem. The results of the analysis implies on the direct relationship between the degree of risk aversion and the weight allocated to the core component. The calculations also indicate the out-performance of the constructed portfolio relative to the market index and its good tracking ability based on criteria such as correlation and root mean squared error using out of sample data.

In this research, we study and classified strategies and objects of individual investors in Tehran stock exchange. First investor’s objectives divided to 5 groups like financial capital growth, Building financial buffer, saving for retirement, hobby and speculation. Then their strategies classified in 3 conventional strategies: fundamental, technical and heuristically. Finally according to behavioral characteristics like risk taking, aspiration levels and over confidence we tested relation among these objectives and strategies with their investors’ performance. Testing behavioral portfolio based on investment objectives and investing strategies for simulation of 120 strategies during 1393-1389 shows that fundamental, technical and heuristically strategies with high risk portfolios have made higher return toward average Stock index. Results show that behavioral characteristic of investor’s has a significant effect on objectives and investing strategies and their performance. There is a relation between aspiration level and risk taking with investor’s objectives, especially there is a strong significant relationship for investors whose object is makes capital grow. Tests show that investors with technical strategy, has higher aspiration and risk taking level but the average yield of this approach is lower than average yield of fundamental strategy. These results are opposite of Shefrin and Hafman(2011) results. Investors, who use fundamental strategy in financial market of Iran, pursued Building financial buffer and capital growth.

S. Eliot’s peculiar symbolism is professionally distinctive. Eliot bases the atypical language of poetry on paradox, irony, ambiguity, myth, and symbol; and achieves objective and tangible imagery in an exclusively unexpected method, consequently intertwining sensibility and emotion. This multifarious method relies on Eliot’s theory of the objective correlative, which he applied to the Waste Land. The objective correlative firstly relies on the de-characterization of the author, this being the cornerstone of new critical methodology, and sees poetry as an independent and self-sufficient phenomenon that should be in turn analyzed through such internal and essential criteria as complexity, ambiguity, and textual cohesion and coherence in order to study textual unity and integrity. Secondly this theory is closely associated with symbolism both as a literary technique and school. Thirdly, there is the incorporation of tradition in poetry which reflects the neoclassical orientation of this theory. Adonis is among those poet-critics who have indirectly been impressed by Eliot’s theory of the objective correlative. Adonis, like Eliot, believes that poetry is not an expression of character but instead an escape from personality and character. Thus the speaker should look at past poems from a historical point of view, that is, he or she should absorb and digest the prior poem. Therefore, the poet should adopt a language different than the language of science and philosophy. Part of this peculiar language comprises of symbolism. This study attempts to first elucidate Eliot’s theory of the objective correlative, second to investigate its corresponding precepts and principles in Adonis’s poetic theory, third to highlight instances of this theory in the works of Eliot and Adonis’ contemporaries, and last but not least this study will discuss the status of Eliot and Adonis as the pioneers of New Criticism in the English and Arabic traditions respectively.

The major anxiety in security and privacy is the result of the fact that the topography of important operas can be available to sensitive information. To improve storage in distributed cloud data centers, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm has been used to copy data between data centers. This paper summarizes the objectives and constraints of the cloud storage problem in order to achieve good performance by considering the shortest data transmission distance, obtaining optimal storage in distributed data centers with reliability based on PSO algorithm between two central data sets. And then it provides an intelligent cryptographic approach that cloud service operators cannot directly access partial data. Numerical results show that the proposed method can provide a good cloud storage strategy when the number of distributed data centers is equal, the defense of the main threats in the clouds can be done effectively.

In a short time-five years, from 1383 to1388- it has been republished for twenty times. This may cause hapiness on one side, and concern on the other side. One may get concerned because of the fear of the readers’ dislike of Shams, and, consequently, of Moulana (Rumi)-his disciple- who composed a lot of sonnetrs on him, and of the pure mysticism and prominent legacy of Iranian mysticism, of such works like Masnavi and Shams’ Sonnets. One may fear that this novel can understimate and degrade Persian literature, mysticism, and Iranian mystics, as we have experienced selling a lot of our good things for nothing without replacing them: this happened in a period of time when a lot of people in the West showed great interest in Iran mysticism in general, and Moulana’s (Rumi’s) mysticism in particular; it came to the point that within a few consequtive years Rumi’s poems were among the best-selling books in United States, and in less than a decade, nearly one hundred million copies of his poems have been sold! It seems that Ms. Saideh Quds in the course of the narration of her novel wants to depict Shams’ behavior based on certain psychological factors and the repression of instincts. This paper deals with two points: 1. The author of the novel has in fact narrated the story of Shams’ life based on the contemporary Western schools of psychology. 2. Psychoanalysis is not a proper way to analyse mystical characters, for entering the field of psychoanalysis may cause a lot of issues relating to mysticism to be ignored. Thus, these issues being ignored, one cannot realize many aspects of mystical characters. To this end, this paper tries to study the flunctuations in the narration of Kimia Khatoon and compares them with historical narrative resources such as Managheb Al-Arefin and Resaleye Sepahsalar, and finally examines the reasons of these differences.

Despite the importance of burying solid waste as one of the most efficient ways in waste management cyc MoreBackground and ObjectiveRapid urban expansion along with population growth, has significantly amplified the production of municipal solid waste (MSW) in recent years. Despite the importance of burying solid waste as one of the most efficient ways in waste management cycle, its basic standards have been neglected in many parts of Iran. Recently, the Geographic Information System (GIS) has been recognized as a suitable tool in landfill site selection studies. In addition, Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) has been introduced as a well-known technique to investigate complex decision-making issues such as landfill selection, and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the well-known methods of MCDM. In general, landfill siting based on GIS has two main screening steps including first, removing unsuitable land areas and then ranking remaining areas. Additionally, waste landfill siting mainly depends on information availability related to population characteristics. In this way, it is needed to forecast population in the future. Qazvin as a province in the central part of Iran, is facing a population growth in the recent decade. Comparing the population in 2011 and 2016, it showed an increase of about 1.17 percent of average annual growth in Qazvin's population. Therefore, with regard to the increasing population in this newly established province, it is considered critical to conduct a landfill site selection procedure. To achieve the aim, the present research intended to establish a landfill site regarding environmental factors and using integrated GIS-AHP approach which incorporated into the population forecasting in Qazvin province.Materials and Methods The present study was conducted in three main steps include; initial waste Landfill siting using Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE), determination of the required landfill area based on population forecasting up to 2046 and final locating of waste landfills using Single Objective Land Allocation (SOLA) in TerrSet software. In the first step, the initial Landfill siting was conducted by the integrated GIS-AHP approach during the process of identifying and selecting the criteria, weighting the criteria, standardizing the criteria and finally integrating the criteria with the Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) method. In the second step, the area required for waste disposal sites was estimated based on population growth rate, per capita waste generation (kg per day) and average groundwater depth. In order to forecast the population growth up to 2046, reports of Iran's Plan and Budget Organization was used. In the third step, the final sitting of the municipal solid waste was determined with a SOLA in TerrSet software. The initial suitability map was entered into the model as the base input. Also, the estimated area from the second step. In this study, two scenarios were implemented. In the first scenario, in order to select the appropriate locations, the condition of having the highest value of the map was applied, and in the second scenario, in addition to the mentioned condition, the need to have a 10 km buffer for each of the selected options was considered.Results and Discussion According to the expert's opinions and environmental standards, seven ecological and socio-economic criteria were suggested that each criterion consists of several sub-criteria. Then by implementing the AHP method on the experts’ judgment, the final weight of each criterion and sub-criterion was obtained. After preparing the GIS layers, each of the invoice layers was standardized according to the functions in the fuzzy membership tool and was classified with a range of numbers from 0 to 255. The results showed that in the study area the combination of AHP and GIS for landfill siting is significantly compatible with field observations. GIS is a very powerful tool that could provide a quick assessment of the study area to determine the appropriate location for landfill. The selection of criteria was one of the most important steps in this research. The environmental factors should be considered along with economic factors in choosing a landfill site. Therefore, the eight main criteria of distance from the road, elevation, slope, distance from residential areas, distance from surface waters, distance from protected areas, geology, hydrology and land use were used in their research. The criteria were divided into three parts; morphological, environmental and socio-economic. In this research, in addition to the mentioned criteria, various natural and human parameters such as distance from energy transmission lines, distance from industrial towns and railways, etc. were also used to double the comprehensiveness of the present study. By integrating standardized GIS layers with WLC method, the initial map indicating the distribution of suitability of different sites to waste disposal location in Qazvin province was prepared. By implementing the AHP method into each criterion and combining in GIS, the waste disposal areas in the study area were classified into four classes. According to this classification, the initial map was divided into very good, appropriate, inappropriate and very poor areas. According to the initial suitability map, the cities of Takestan, Abik and Buin Zahra, with an area of 50.15, 14.55 and 54.48 km2, respectively, had a good condition for landfill location. The suitable places for landfill were the flat territories near the urban and had the advantage of the appropriate access path. Then, using land use allocation algorithm, the best landfill site was identified in two scenarios and three location options for each scenario. In the first scenario, the maximum map value was applied to select the location options. In the second scenario, in addition to the mentioned condition, a 10 km buffer was considered for each location option. Finally, site number one of the first and second scenarios and site number three of the second scenario were identified as priorities. Site number one was selected in the range of Buin Zahra city and near the village of Elahabad. While site number three was located 15 km away from the waste management department of Qazvin city and near the Zinabad village.Conclusion It should be noted that not only the final location of municipal solid waste landfills has not been determined in recent years, but also a comprehensive program in the field of reducing waste production and implementation of waste separation plans from the source in the studied cities has not been implemented.Formation of a future forecasting section on the organizational structure of landfill waste management systems can not only reduce environmental risks but also bring sustainability to economic and social resources.

The Gray Wolf Multi-Objective Algorithm is a random evolution-inspired random algorithm that has been widely used in recent years as an optimization technique in power electronics. The state mode average method has been used to model and achieve the transducer-based system transfer function. Therefore, the MOGWO-based PID controller has been studied and implemented in the system to enable the converter stability to be evaluated and compared with conventional PID controllers. To evaluate the stability of the system, various performance parameters such as overtaking percentage, peak time, settling time and peak size have been considered. The impact response of the closed-loop system is obtained by simulation in MATLAB. The performance of the model is evaluated to perform a general comparative analysis of the system.

This study proposes an objective function to locate and determine the optimal size in DG systems. The objective function is based on increasing the voltage profile, reducing power loss, and improving economic efficiency using an arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA). The proposed approach uses the lowest losses and improvement of the voltage profile level after injecting power into the system in distribution networks and sub-transmission networks to determine and locate the optimal size in DG systems. This research has been implemented on an IEEE 33-bus network using AOA, and the results are compared with genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results show that the proposed approach is superior to other optimization methods in locating and determining the optimal size, power loss, and cost function in DG systems. For example, AOA has obtained more profit than PSO and GA, 33.4% and 32.8%, respectively. In particular, the results show that AOA has a higher convergence speed in finding the optimal location in DG systems. Manuscript profile -

This paper attempts to introduce a pragmatic bi-objective investment model based on uncertainty, instead of probability space and information theory, instead of variance and other moments as a risk measure for portfolio optimization. Not only is uncertainty space expected to be more in line with investment theory, but also, applying and learning this approach seems more straightforward and practical for novice investors. The proposed model simultaneously maximizes the uncertain mean of stock returns and minimizes uncertain entropy as a measure of portfolio risk. The uncertain zigzag distribution has been used for variables to avoid the complexity of fitting distributions for data. This uncertain mean-entropy portfolio optimization (UMEPO) has been solved by three meta-heuristic methods of multi-objective optimization: NSGA-II, MOPS, and MOICA. Finally, it was observed that the optimal portfolio obtained from the proposed model has a higher return and a lower entropy as a risk measure compared to the same model in the probability space.

In the cold supply chain, products should be stored at low and near or below freezing points. For this purpose, refrigerated warehouses and refrigerated trucks are essential. Therefore, this research aims to design a linear multi-objective decision-making model for supply chain management Which aims to reduce the overall supply chain cost, including the cost of capacity, transportation, inventory as well as costs associated with the effects of global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions. To analyze the research problem, a mathematical model for optimizing the supply chain has been designed and genetic algorithm has been used to solve this problem. The results of the first function test indicate that the model is high in the number of customers, and when the distributor's number is equal to the number of producers, the best one is possible. The second function analysis concludes that reducing the restoration time of the facility is effective in minimizing the first function, reducing costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, according to the stated contents and the results obtained in this research, it can be pointed out that by optimizing the vehicles and also the proper use of the optimal number of means of transport, it can be expected that the pollution and proliferation of gases The greenhouse is at least possible.

One approach to achive simultaneously to the economic and envitonmental objectives is to design closed loop supply chain networks (CLSCN) that integrate reverse logistics into their forward paths. In this paper, a bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model was developed for the CLSCN problem. The first objective is to minimize the cost function and the second objective function tries to minimize the time of transferring products from manufacturers to the distributors. Lp Metric and ε -constraint methods were utilized to solve the model. A numerical example was presented to show the applicability of the model and also sensitivity analysis was done. In this model two parameters of cost and demand are uncertain, in order to deal with uncertain parameters a robust optimization approach was utilizec. Multi objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) was used to solve the model in lare scales ad the solutions were compared with the solutions that obtained by exact methods. the findings of this research can help decision makers and executives to design efficient closed loop supply chains.

Unf MoreTime-cost-quality trade-off project scheduling problem is one of the most important and practical problems in project management discipline. Project Managers interest in making decisions to accomplish the project with minimum cost, minimum time, and maximum quality. Unfortunately, in real life problems, the estimation of time, cost, and quality may be mixed with uncertainty. These parameters may be far from their estimated values. So, considering uncertain parameters in time-cost-quality project scheduling is essential. In this paper, a probabilistic version of time-cost-quality trade –off problem is proposed. Some parameters of the proposed model are assumed to be probabilistic. The probabilistic nature of the proposed model is handled using stochastic chance constraint programming. The multi-objective nature of the problem is handled using goal programming. Finally, the stochastic chance constraint goal programming is proposed. The deterministic equivalence of proposed stochastic model is presented. A numerical example is analyzed using GAMS software and results are investigated. Manuscript profile -

Simultaneously, the potential for profit arising from product recycling has further emphasized the importance of these systems. This research focuses on developing a four-stage closed-loop network model for the supply chain, taking into account the uncertainty of product recycling rates. The primary objective of this study is to provide an integer linear programming model aimed at minimizing supply chain costs and customer service time under uncertain conditions. The supply chain model is designed by integrating queuing theory and product recycling system optimization. A critical aspect of this research involves modeling the uncertainty in the return rate of consumer products in the closed-loop supply chain, with the aim of developing a robust approach to address this issue. Additionally, the performance of the proposed model in the paper industry is evaluated, and a sensitivity analysis is conducted with respect to the decision variables using two metaheuristic algorithms: the Multiple Objective Harmony Search and the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm.

In the past, bi-objective problems were solved by finding Pareto approximation in the entire problem space (without any restrictions). The limitation in this study is to find Pareto approximation in a specified region. In order to solve the problem, multi-objective genetic algorithm based on Pareto ranking has been used. In the structure of the algorithm, two strategies have been proposed in order to select solutions for archiving and produce Pareto in a certain region. After generating sample problems, the genetic algorithm has been implemented with three strategies (two proposed and one general strategy in literature). The appropriate strategy is based on efficient solutions in the archives. The results reflect the fact that the proposed strategies have shown better performance than the literature strategy.

In its simplest form, while trying to minimize risk in the portfolio selection according to defined constraints such as budget and integer constraints it deals with selecting a basket of various assets. Generally, investors prefer to invest in some assets rather than investing in only one asset to reduce unsystematic risk by diversifying their investment. Complex computational models have been developed to solve this problem and there is not an optimal solution for many of them. In this paper, a new and innovative approach known as fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) is used for multi-objective problem solving based on mean-variance Markowitz problem with class and cardinality constraints. Fruit fly optimization algorithm is a new way to find the overall optimal solution based on the behavior of the fruit fly in finding food. So far, few studies have been done on this algorithm and almost none of them used this algorithm for portfolio optimization problem. The results indicated the better comparative performance of the algorithm compared to the genetic algorithm for data set of Tehran stock exchange.JEL classification: G1, P5, O3 Manuscript profile -

Scheduling is of high significance in operations research. Recently, scholars have drawn much attention to the application of mathematical modeling as an optimization approach in solving the complex scheduling problems. However, only a few have addressed the open-shop scheduling problem. This study was intended to investigate the effectiveness of meta-heuristic genetic algorithm in order to minimize non-decreasing separable objective functions for such problem. In this genetic algorithm, displacement mutation and partially matched crossover were adopted as two operators. Moreover, the obtained solutions were compared based on how to select the best chromosome by using methods of tournament selection, rank selection, and roulette wheel selection. The data were collected through literature review. It was exhibited that meta-heuristic genetic algorithm can rapidly find the optimal solution. Furthermore, rank selection resulted in more optimal solutions instead of the other two. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, the purpose of this study is a holistic analysis based on researches in the field of quality of life. Holistic approach of research is qualitative- quantitive and The research method of this study is a documentary content analysis based on quality of life thematic literature. The statistical population of this study is research on quality of life with residential and urban approaches at all levels. The overall statistical focus of the research is on the four areas of definitions, dimensions, scales and indicators proposed in research from about 1900 to 2018. For this purpose, the purposeful sampling with snowball structure is to the theoretical saturation of the data obtained in these four areas. content analysis has been analyzed. The findings are presented as descriptive statistics and analytical statistics. Analytical statistics based on the correlation, regression and shannon entropy tests are presented. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that quality of life indices can be classified into three main objective, subjective and behavioral approaches. It can also be concluded that quality of life is a multidimensional concept derived from the seven physical, social, service, economic, environmental, cultural and personal dimensions. Meanwhile, personal characteristics have the highest appearance and physical indices have the highest frequency and least weight. Although most of the weight is related to personal indicators, the highest upward trend has been related to economic indicators. Finally, based on the obtained results, the holistic model of quality of life indicators with a similar structure to snowflakes is explained. Manuscript profile -

Ali TaghipourianIntellectual property is one of the types of property that is respected both in jurisprudence and in law, and the guarantee of many legal, criminal and registered enforcements is foreseen in order to prevent infringement of those rights. Therefore, intellectual property MoreIntellectual property is one of the types of property that is respected both in jurisprudence and in law, and the guarantee of many legal, criminal and registered enforcements is foreseen in order to prevent infringement of those rights. Therefore, intellectual property has created a special place for itself, along with tangible properties, and on the other hand, its financial and spiritual value has also played a significant role in raising its status, and finally these factors have led to the formulation of many laws regarding intellectual property, which are the result of intellectual property. On the other hand, it is necessary to mention that intellectual property is divided into two branches, intellectual property and industrial property, and each of them has seen its own field and legal development, and the dependence of countries on each other and their commercial relations cause the increasing development of intellectual property in countries, has become. As a result, it should be noted that the traditional division of financial rights into objective rights and religious rights has been changed in new and contemporary laws, and intellectual property rights have been added as the third category of financial rights.

For this purpose, a descriptive-correlational research design was used. The statistical population of this research is all the male and female students of the second year of Semnan secondary school in the academic year 1401-1400, of which 220 were randomly selected. The research data were collected by Abedi's creativity questionnaires, the perceived structure of the classroom (Mighli et al.) and the basic psychological needs of LaGuardia et al. And then statistical analysis was done using structural equation modeling with SPSS and AMOS software. The results showed that the effect of mastery and functional goal orientation on basic needs is positive and significant. Also, there is a significant relationship between basic needs and creativity; But the effect of avoidance goal orientation on basic needs is not significant. Another finding of the present research indicates that the effect of three exogenous variables of mastery, performance and avoidance goal orientation on creativity is not significant. In this way, no meaningful relationship has been directly seen between goal orientation and creativity; But when the fulfillment of basic needs in the individual is strengthened by increasing the level of independence, competence and communication, creativity can be promoted in the objective structure of the classroom.

In this paper, through reading the relevant sociological elements with love, we can address the status of domination, its causes and consequences in the love of Leily u Majnun Neziganjoy. The research method is descriptive-analytical, the research revealed that love was carried out by the conflict of dokodak otherness until adolescence and youth, in a geographical way that the objects, minds, habits and social base dominated the behavioral hierarchy of lovers, not their will. Unity of pluralism and domination has permeated the thinking of lovers and social solidarity with Leily and Majnun has not been able to cope with the system of tarigi. The sociology of their behavior showed that the male dominance, as an addition and variable, has occasionally dominated Leily, but the force of mistress has often disturbed the balance of domination in Lily's favor, and ultimately the objects and minds of society have entered another active and class variable, ibn Salam, into the story so that failed love, which is desired by the minds of the Stonak society and more influential in the space of the story.

In the first step, all electric motor relations are extracted and expressed based on its geometric parameters. In the second step, the function of competence, which is the same reduction in the volume, losses and cost of construction of a DC motor without brush, is defined on the basis of the relationships obtained in the previous stage. In the third step, the colonial competition algorithm is used to select the best values of the geometric parameters of the engine so that the objective function is minimized. The results of simulations show that the colonial competition algorithm has a good performance and can dramatically reduce the size, loss, and cost by appropriate selection of geometric parameters.

At the first step, the supplier evaluating criteria and sub-criteria are determined and their relationships and degrees of importance are specified via the fuzzy ANP-DEMATEL method. Afterwards, regarding the high variety of purchasing items, they are categorized into four groups by the Fuzzy Inference system (Kraljik model) and suppliers in each group are ranked using the Fuzzy WASPAS method. The next step is to determine the order allocation of items in a multi-product, multi-period, multi-supplier mixed integer programming model with three objectives of minimizing the cost, maximizing total utility of the purchasing process and minimizing changes of selected suppliers as a new objective function. Finally, the LP metric method is applied to solve the proposed multi-objective model, and Pareto solutions of the problem are determined by changing the coefficients of the objectives in this method. The proposed approach is used for suppliers evaluation and order allocation in a chemical company with a high number of purchasing items and suppliers. The accuracy of results is confirmed by experts. Regarding the comprehensiveness of the proposed approach, its application increases the accuracy of suppliers evaluation and order allocation, and therefore its utilization in organizations is recommended.

One of the main challenges in this case is choosing the right approach to achieve these goals. The most common approaches in this case, are using the balance technique. In fact, using this technique can be the most optimal mode of project implementation activities that the lowest and highest quality at the lowest cost, time has obtained. In this paper, we tried to develop a goal-programming model to find suitable responses for managing the cost, time and quality of the project. In order to test this model, a case study was accomplished in the projects implemented at Company Machine Sazi Arak. Computational results show the applicability and usefulness of the proposed method. Manuscript profile -

However, in making use of this technique, we need N times writing formula for n decision-making units in order to achieve the required efficiency. As a result, it is not possible to compare decision-making units in the framework of a common weight, and the model is of low discrimination power. In otherwise the classic DEA models deal with crisp parameters. Therefore, in the present study, we tried to present common weights for decision-making units by presenting a new model utilizing multi objective decision making and Grey Systems Theory to achieve efficiency of DMUs when the parameters of model are uncertain and only interval of them are defined. Finally, the evaluation results, examples are provided to compare the performance rating DMUs through classical DEA models and the proposed model is discussed. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, integration of constituent element of this chain is a great deal. One of the important subjects of supply chain is production-distribution planning. Integrated production and distribution of products has key role to increase of the costs in supply chain. In this paper, a bi-objective integrated production-distribution problem in a three echelon supply chain includes factories, distribution centers and final costumers for multi-products at multi-time period are presented. Two conflicting objectives by minimizing total costs of chain and costs of the distribution warehouses are considered. The Lp-metric method with P=1 and P=∞ is used to solve the model. Finally by considering two metrics of solution quality as integrated objective functions, and CPU, time method have been implemented on several problems and the performance of proposed methodologies is analyzed as statistic.

One goal is to reduce inventory costs in a two-level supply chain, while other goals consider enabling the system and help making decisions in possible demand situations and delivery times, and increasing the level of service and quality, while reducing the costs of increasing the service level. However, to gain more performance in real world problems, constraints exist, e.g. the lack of a low service level, warehouse space, budget, moving capacity, and total integrated discount. In this research, the shipments are assumed to be non-identical, and shortages are considered in two classes: lag and lost sales. Because the achieved model type is of nonlinear integer planning type and an NP-hard problem, meta-heuristic solutions should be used. Regarding two-goal minimization based on reducing total inventory cost, taking possible demand, delivery times, the non-homology of shipments into account, and also shortage and discount, to find the amount of product order and the product shortage level, the achieved model is solved using the required algorithms and tools. Regarding inventory management at two levels of seller and retailer, problems occur containing constraints. Finally, this research aims to obtain inventory management mathematical model by seller in the supply chain in conditions (such as one retailer-one seller, and one seller-multiple retailers), and to provide a solution during uncertainty, non-homology of shipments, when the shortage of lag and lost sales is permitted, and total discount.

The purpose of the present research is to identify the components of the welfare affairs of the property and document registration staff in East Azerbaijan Province in order to provide a suitable model. In this qualitative research, metacombination strategy and content analysis are employed. The studied population included 110 articles, dissertations and Persian and English books written from 2015 to 2022, among which 56 items that were more relevant to the purpose of the present research were purposefully selected as the sample of the study, coded and classified. Then, the main themes were extracted, consolidated, rethought and rearranged. The findings show that the well-being model can be classified into three dimensions: mental, objective and social: the main themes of mental well-being include twelve categories, the objective well-being includes eight categories, and the social well-being includes twelve categories. Therefore, it seems crucial to pay attention to various dimensions of the welfare of the registry office employees. The present model, designed for the welfare of the employees, makes it possible to provide suitable grounds for their health and job satisfaction, and in this way, increase their productivity.

This model is formulated under four constraints consisting of storage spaces, budgetary, allowable shortage quantities and periodic order quantities. The last two constraints are considered as interval. In the presented model, shortage is allowable and lead-time is zero. The parameters such as demands, costs (including: setting, maintenance, shortage) and constraint resources are fuzzy. The type of fuzzy numbers in demand & cost is triangular and the numbers of constraint resources are positive trapezoid. In solution methodology, first we converted the cost objective and manpower objective functions to six objective functions and then reduced fuzzy constraints to crisp constraints via defuzzification. Then we solved the resulted crisp multi objective model using Fuzzy Non Linear Programming (FNLP). Finally we presented a numerical example to solve and describe the model applying Lingo software package. Manuscript profile -

For example, demographic factors like age and marital status, and individual factors like education and experience were recognized as strong job achievement determinants. Recent experimental evidence also supports that social-demographic features (age, gender) are the basic or strong predictors of job achievement.In this respect, the issue of emotional intelligence has also been recognized as another factor in this field. For this purpose, a questionnaire was used, whose validity and reliability were confirmed. A sample of 100 people from the. Staff of Islamic Azad University of Tabriz was selected, whose objective and subjective job achievements were examined. The results of these examinations were as follows: 1) There is no significant and direct correlation between emotional intelligence and subjective job achievement, 2)There is a significant and direct correlation between emotional intelligence and objective job achievement, 3)There is no significant correlation between age and objective job achievements, 4) There is no significant correlation between age and subjective job achievements, 5)Score difference of objective job achievement based on gender is significant, and 6) Score difference of subjective job achievement based on gender is insignificant.

This nonlinear structural problem is very challenging to solve when its all parameters are imprecise in nature. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets were proposed to manage circumstances in which experts have some membership and non-membership value to judge an option. Hesitant fuzzy sets were used to manage scenarios in which experts pause between many possible membership values while evaluating an alternative. A new growing area of a generalized fuzzy set theory called intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set (IHFS) provides useful tools for dealing with uncertainty in structural design problem that is observed in the actual world. In this article, we have developed a procedure to solve non-linear structural problem in an intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy (IHF) environment. The concept of an intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set is introduced to provide a computational basis to manage the situations in which experts assess an alternative in possible membership values and non-membership values. This important feature is not available in the intuitionistic fuzzy optimization technique. Here we have discussed the solution procedure of intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy optimization technique dedicatedly for linear, exponential, and hyperbolic types of membership and non-membership functions. Some theoretical development based on these functions has been discussed. A numerical illustration is given to justify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method in comparison with fuzzy multi-objective nonlinear programming method and intuitionistic fuzzy multi-objective nonlinear programming method. Finally, based on the proposed work, conclusions and future research directions are addressed. Manuscript profile -

The load model is considered as a combination of various customers’ daily load patterns and sensitive to voltage-frequency. The micro turbine, wind turbine, photovoltaic and fuel cell are considered as DG units. The objective functions of the problem consist of the technical index (the voltage stability and the active and reactive power loss) and environmental index (the amount of pollutant DG unit’s gas emissions). The whale optimisation algorithm (WOA) is used to multi-objective optimize the location and capacity of devices. After applying the multi-objective WOA, the analytical hierarchy process is utilized to select one of the Pareto optimal solutions as the best location and size of devices. The proposed algorithm is implemented on the 69-bus distribution system and actual 101-bus distribution system in Khoy–Iran. The results indicate the significant effect of load models and various DG units on the efficiency of the distribution system in the presence of DSTATCOM. Moreover, the indices of the distribution system are improved considerably after applying the proposed method. Manuscript profile -

Wireless sensor networks MoreWith the spread of applications of wireless sensor networks, in recent years, the use of this type of network in order to monitor the environment and analyze data collected from specific environments in a variety of ways has become very common. Wireless sensor networks are one of the best options for collecting data from the environment due to their easy configuration and no need for expensive equipment. The energy of sensors in wireless sensor networks is limited, which is a major challenge due to the lack of a fixed charge source. Because most of the sensors' energy is wasted during data transmission, a sensor that transmits more data than others and transmits data over long distances with packets will run out of energy sooner than others. When a sensor in the network runs out of energy, the network process may be disrupted. Therefore, due to the dynamic topology and distributed nature of wireless sensor networks, designing energy efficient routing protocols is one of the main challenges. Therefore, in this article, energy-aware routing protocol based on multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is presented. In the proposed approach, the fitness function of the particle swarm optimization algorithm for selecting the optimal cluster head based on quality-of-service goals including residual energy, link quality, end-to-end delay and delivery rate. The simulation results show that the proposed approach has less energy consuming and extend network lifetime due to balancing the goals of quality-of-service criteria than other approaches.

The proposed scheme is a two-objective optimization model. In one objective function, it minimizes the energy cost of electricity, gas, and heating network as private distribution companies in the mentioned markets. In another objective function, it minimizes the energy cost (equal to the difference between selling and purchasing energy) of hubs in the retail market. This scheme is subject to optimal power flow formulation in the mentioned networks, and the operation model of sources and active loads in a hub format. Then, the Pareto optimization based on the weighted functions method according to the fuzzy decision is used to achieve the optimal compromise solution. Finally, by implementing the proposed scheme on a system test, the obtained simulation results confirm the capabilities of the scheme in improving the economy of energy hubs and the economic and operation situation of the mentioned networks.

Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) technology and demand response programs (DRP), especially the time of use (TOU) program are investigated. Carbon technology helps to overcome pollution issues, on the one hand, and earn revenue for the power system, on the other hand. Also, the demand response programs help to reduce costs and pollution, make the load curve flatter, increase the reliability and power quality of the network. The proposed energy hub consists of various renewable and non-renewable distributed energy resources, as well different planning horizons, include deterministic and robust ones. The presented hub consists of diverse energy sectors like electricity, heat, cooling, gas, and water at the input and output sections. The problem is then modeled as a MILP and solved using the CPLEX solver in GAMS software. Epsilon constraint method with the fuzzy satisfying approach is used to obtain and select the best solution. The final results show that the cost and the pollution in the robust planning experience the increment by about 12.3% and 1.9% respectively in comparison to deterministic, as well, demand response programs and CCUS technology are had a significant impact on the objective functions. In addition, the load curve has become flatter and the reward by using a carbon system is obtained for the hub. Manuscript profile -

The proposed reliability index, coupled with power loss and switching number in the presence of distributed generators, are used in this study to address DFR as a multi-objective problem. The DFR problem is complex inherently, considering impacts of distributed generators makes the problem more be complex than before. For this purpose, an evolutionary method based on the combination of particle swarm optimization and modified shuffled frog leaping has been used to solve the nonlinear optimization problem in this study. Two 33-bus and 70-bus systems are evaluated to gauge the effectiveness of the suggested hybrid algorithm. Manuscript profile -

For this purpose, the corrupted signal is decomposed into a number of sub-bands using complex Gammatone filter bank, and the sub-band signals are individually and adaptively denoised. Temporal masking, a combination of a novel non-uniform quantization method and lossless coding algorithms are then applied to reduce the number of coefficients and compression. The proposed system is very robust and effective in dealing with different kinds of noises such as white, colored and periodic noises. Objective and Subjective quality measurements demonstrate significant improvement in the perceptual quality of synthesized speech while considerable reduction in bit-rate to approximately 14.6 Kbps is achieved.

The purposes of this research are reducing the losses, improving the voltage profile and equalizing the feeder load balancing in a distribution system. Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) is used to simultaneously reconfigure and identify the optimal capacity and location for installation of DG units in the distribution network. In order to facilitate the algorithm for multi-objective search ability, the optimization problem is formulated for minimizing fuzzy performance indices. The multi-objective optimization problem is transformed into a fuzzy inference system (FIS), where each objective function is quantified into a set of fuzzy objectives selected by fuzzy membership functions. The proposed method is validated using the IEEE 33 bus test system at nominal load. The obtained results prove this combined technique is more accurate and has an efficient convergence property compared to other intelligent search algorithms. Also, the obtained results lead to the conclusion that multi-objective reconfiguration along with placement of DGs can be more beneficial than separate single-objective optimization.

In the contemporary era, Ibn Ashur is one of the commentators who paid great attention to this important issue in his Qur'anic commentary. Ibn Ashur started writing this commentary in pursuit of a kind of scientific revival, religious renewal and liberation of the nation from stagnation based on accepted religious and intellectual methods and through reforming beliefs, thought and action while respecting the acceptable achievements of the predecessors. This article, with a descriptive-analytical method, investigated the historical course of the purposes of the Sharia and sought to discover some important interpretative achievements of the thought of the purposes by emphasizing the view of Ibn Ashur and found that his firm belief in the application of the knowledge of the purposes of the Sharia led to the creation of a link between The purposes and divine verses of the Holy Qur'an became clear, and finally, after about four decades of efforts, a commentary of the divine book was established that could show this convergence and add significant achievements to the knowledge of interpretation.

On the other hand, the financial flow and the flow of goods and information are crucial and influential flows in any supply chain. In this paper, the main contribution is to integrated planning of procurement, production and distribution for a multi-product supply chain in order to maximize the producer's profit and also minimize the deviations of the producer's financial indicators by considering both the physical and financial flow. In this regard, the studded supply chain includes several suppliers, one producer and several customers. One of the prominent features of the proposed model is the use of mathematical programming to model the financial flow and achieve the producer's financial goals. Since the presented model is a bi-objective one, two fuzzy multi-objective interactive methods, Selim and Ozkarahan (SO) and Torabi and Hassini (TH) can adjust the degree of satisfaction of the objective functions have been applied. Next, the model is optimized using the goal programming method. Finally, the numerical results in optimizing the proposed fuzzy model show the proposed model's efficiency and the high quality of performance and applicability of the proposed model. The core achievement in the numerical results is that the total value of the distribution in the two models is equal. However, the SO method obtains more unbalanced solutions when the decision maker pays more attention to the first objective function. Manuscript profile -

In this regard, the main question of the paper is that the Silk Road Initiative was designed as the most important China strategy in the 21st Century to achieve its goals. It should be noted that the Silk Road is the largest initiative ever announced by a country in the world. This initiative covers sixty-five different countries in the world and costs about $ 4 trillion in 900 different projects. In addition, the plan has dimensions, objectives, and economic, political and security objectives. In this regard, in response to the above question, the hypothesis of the article is that the ultimate goal of China is to operate the Silk Road initiative to provide the economic, political and security contexts necessary for becoming a regional and global hegemony. However, it seems that the plan faces serious barriers and challenges, and ultimately China goals will not be maximized. The present article intends to discuss the question and hypothesis along with the goals, opportunities and obstacle of the project in three sections and in a descriptive-analytical way.

In fact different national objectives and roles in several periods led to different orientation and consequently different foreign relations in the first to fourth period. Now the basic question which arises here is; what variables put the most impact on national objectives and roles in first to fourth period and as a result formation of different foreign relations? The structure of international system, domestic needs, the perception, attitude of decision makers and geopolitics are four important variables that have defined the national objectives and roles during first to fourth period and as a result led to formation of different dimension for foreign relations. The factors that have led to the formation of different foreign relations in four periods depend on the weight of the four mentioned variables. The methodology used in the study is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library, documents and internet sources. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, the present study with a descriptive-analytical approach has sought to examine the social livability condition of Tabriz metropolis in two Subjective and Objective dimensions. In order to measure the mental state of social livability (including 7 indicators and 80 items), first the relevant design questionnaire was designed, after determining the statistical sample in the 10 regions of Tabriz using Cochran's method (384 samples) and confirming the validity and reliability of the information questionnaire. Subjective dimension information collected; also, the last statistical yearbook (2018) of Tabriz has been used to examine the objective dimension (including 25 indicators). To analyze the relevant information, Shannon's entropy method has been used to weigh the indicators and research items and the corrective Morris method has been used to determine the social livability status of regions based on global literature at 5 levels. Finally, GIS software is used to draw maps to better understand the social livability at the regional level. The research findings indicate that in terms of Subjective dimension, region 2 with a social livability score of 89.2 is in an acceptable position and is ranked first. Most region (5 region) are in poor condition and unacceptable. In the objective dimension, none of the regions is in a suitable condition and the 10 studied regions are in an unfavorable and unacceptable situation. Finally, in the combined dimension (both objective and subjective dimensions), region 2 is in a tolerable state, region 3 is in the middle state and other regions (8 regions) are in an unfavorable state. Therefore, the results show that all urban areas of Tabriz need special attention of urban managers. Manuscript profile -

Social trust is one of the most important components of social development and the spread of modernity and it is a significant aspect of social relations, which provides the basis for social assistance and participation among members of society. Social trust increases participation in various economic, social, political and cultural fields and increases the willingness of individuals to work with other groups. On the one hand, cultural capital, -as an indicator of cultural development, witch is a combination of indicators like individual inclinations and attitudes toward the use of cultural goods, the extent to which cultural goods are used objectively, and the scientific and cultural qualities of a person- can affect social trust. The research approach here is descriptive-causal and has been conducted in a cross-sectional and temporal manner. The research population included women and men over 18 years of age in the city of Zanjan, of witch a sample of 380 people were selected. The research findings showed that the estimation of social trust was about 23% of respondents, 70% were moderate and about 7% were high. A relatively high correlation was found between cultural capital and social trust and this correlation is statistically significant. Also, the relationship between the dimensions of cultural capital, including the embodied and objectified cultural capital, is significant with a solid correlation. Household income showed a negative relationship with social trust, so that by increasing the income level of families, their level of social trust was reduced. But there was a positive and direct correlation between the education of citizens and their parents' education and social trust, so as increasing the level of education and literacy of individuals, social trust has been increasing. Similarly, the results of regression analysis showed that the variables of cultural capital, income and education of the individual and responsible parents were 64% of the total dependent variable variation, but the share of the main variable of the research, namely, cultural capital, in this explanation was 33%. Therefore, in explaining social trust, cultural capital is an influential variable, and if this kind of capital is strengthened in society and among people, the level of social trust and general trust in society can also increase.

The aim of this research is to know the components of residential satisfaction in different dimensions, prioritize them and find a model to evaluate residential satisfaction in residential apartments.Methodology The research method of this research with a quantitative approach, in two stages, includes finding the components of residential satisfaction through the content analysis of the related researches and evaluating the residential satisfaction based on the components through a survey. The survey was conducted with the statistical community of residents of residential apartments and the sample size was 250 residents of apartments under 10 units randomly. Geographical area of research The analyzed area is the 9th district of Isfahan in the area between Mount Atashgah and Nazhvan area, in recent years, the construction in this area has increased exponentially. This shows the importance of investigating residential satisfaction in this area. Results and discussion The findings are presented in two sections, results of ANOVA analysis and Structural equation modeling )SEM(. The findings show that based on the studied statistical population, age, level of education and income do not have much effect on residential satisfaction. Also, residential satisfaction model has been obtained in three dimentions included objective, mental and behavioral with a factor load between 0.3 and 0.4. In this model, the mental dimension has the highest factor load among the dimensions and social interactions has the highest factor load among the residential satisfaction components. Conclusion According to the findings, it is concluded that residential satisfaction is a concept based on three objective, mental and behavioral dimensions with almost equal importance and influenced by each other. This concept has components of almost equal importance. The share of each dimension in residential satisfaction model is about 30 to 40 percent and is very important, and the share of each component is about 3 to 4 percent. Manuscript profile -

Several factors and can have an impact on the quality of life of villagers, one of them is livability and standard housing. Rural housing as a basic human need, with wide economic, social, cultural, environmental and physical dimensions, has a significant impact on the quality of life and sustainable rural development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between livability housing and quality of life of villagers in the village of Zirkooh. This study was done by the descriptive-analytic method. The sample size is 313 households that was selected by using the Cochran formula with a 5% error measurement. According to the results, the livability variable with a Pearson statistic of 0.616 with high quality of life has a strong direct correlation. Also, due to the significant level that is less than 0.05, the livability variable has a significant relationship with the quality of life and has the ability to be generalized to the whole society. The effect of livability variable on both objective and subjective dimensions was confirmed but according to the adjusted coefficient of determination for the mental dimension of quality of life is 0.307 and for the objective dimension is 0.328, which indicates that 30.7% of the subjective changes and 32.8% of the objective dimension changes in the dependent villages is livability housing. more effect of the livability housing variable on the objective dimension of quality of life.

Hegel, in spirit phenomenology, has attempted to investigate the spirit motion and its destinations within the history. According to Hegel, the world history is the history of spirit motion towards the rationalization. The spirit motion in the history is a rational and intellectual and we observe, in each part of history, the interaction of spirit with the real and objective history in the one hand and the individual history and freedom in the other hand. The interaction of these aspects is finally realized in the absolute spirit that is the freedom. Therefore, the real formation of the absolute spirit can be observed in the history. Hegel believes that the absolute spirit is a place in which all the eternal and historical facts achieve their final realization and prosperity. The absolute spirit is like a bird which flies freely over the plains and hills of the history. In Hegel’s philosophy, the absolute spirit loses the possibility to realize its real essence without freedom. Indeed, freedom is the critical and consolidating element of Hegel’s philosophy of spirit. Undoubtedly, in Hegel’s philosophy, all affairs have the relationship with freedom as the creator of the absolute spirit in historical dialectic. Therefore, in this descriptive research, in addition to attempt for describing the Hegel’s philosophy of spirit, especially the individual, objective and absolute spirit, the position and necessity of freedom in Hegel’s philosophy of spirit will be discussed.

Suhrawardī believes that existence, quiddity and other philosophical concepts are intellectual abstractions. In the actual world there is no otherness or distinction between these philosophical concepts and ipseity, and all of these philosophical concepts are the means of intellectual analysis of reality, so any distinction leads to infinite regress. Therefore, Suhrawardī believes in realism or fundamental reality of ipseity and from his viewpoint ipseity is a relative concept, just like existence. Manuscript profile -

328 - On Wittgenstein's Certainty and Critics of Descartes’ “Dreaming Argument”

Wittgenstein claims that Descarte More Wittgenstein frankly is speaking on certainty as a basic term which precedes skepticism believing that doubt game is possible in certainty ground, and we have no ground except certainty, extremist skepticism is self contradiction. Wittgenstein claims that Descartes' “Dreaming Argument” is the deepest and most powerful form of skepticism; in the first Meditation, Descartes is able to infect himself, as it were, with a profound skeptical difficulty about perceptual knowledge: what he calls "the principal reason for doubt, namely my inability to distinguish between being asleep and being awake". From past to the present, the attempts to neutralize such threats have been largely regarded as unsuccessful. But the writings of Wittgenstein mark a new development in defusing this deflationary posture. Unlike most philosophers who have assumed that Skepticism represents a coherent position that demands a responsible rebuttal, Wittgenstein emphasized that it was senseless, and required no formal refutation. In this paper we seek to demonstrate that Descartes' purpose has never been to remain uncertain; he always tries to overcome doubt and he wants to come to a certainty; In the case of “Dreaming Argument” ultimately in the sixth Meditation Descartes is prepared to solve and dismiss this very same difficulty in a mere paragraph; here we told that "the exaggerated doubts of the last few days should be dismissed as laughable". He writes that there is a vast difference between being asleep and being awake. Manuscript profile -

This model has two objective functions including risk minimization and return maximization. The constraints are including the assigning all budgets to the companies considering budget limitation. In order to deal with the uncertainty conditions in the model parameters, the chance constraints approach is used and the objective functions are considered as a single problem using the goal-programming method. To solve the problem in the two-purpose mode, the augmented epsilon constraint method is used. According to the numerical results, it can be seen that problem solving in two-objective mode is able to produce Pareto solutions that do not dominate each other in a feasible space. Also, in case of uncertainty, the use of goal-programming leads to numerical solutions with the appropriate level of performance and costs are consistent with reality. In fact, the problem results in both multi-objective and single-objective situations can be implemented in real-world conditions. Finally, it can be said that the use of computational results of this study can be used as an operational tool. Manuscript profile -

Activists in this field are seeking to select a portfolio that controls risk with high return. Due to the increasing limitations of the capital market, the efficiency of classical methods has been discussed. Hence, researchers have turned their attention to metaheuristic algorithms. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal portfolio of pharmaceutical companies accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange by two methods of multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and maximum Sharp ratio. In this study, the multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is under Conditional Value at Risk criterion. Also, the data of 13 companies in the period of 90-97 were used to form the portfolio. The results show that in the multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) method, the stock with the lowest Value at Risk gains the most weight in the optimal portfolio. Also, the optimized portfolio by multi-objective genetic algorithm is more return and at the same time less risky. Manuscript profile -

Therefore, in this paper, multi-objective optimization models are designed and solved in MATLAB software environment. These models are designed in such a way that both the nature of the portfolio optimization, the considerations of the investor and the uncertain nature of the future return on assets, are taken into account. After designing the models in fuzzy and non-fuzzy (simple) conditions, due to their NP-HARD nature, a dedicated NSGA-II algorithm was used to solve it. After solving the models, the best portfolio from attained Pareto frontier, based on the Sortino ratio, be chosen. After that all of the obtained portfolios are compared according to the Treyner ratio. The results of statistical tests clearly show that the proposed models have a high power in choosing portfolios with maximum returns and a minimum risk. The results also indicate that that the designed models, with use of fuzzy logic in quadratic models creates more favorable results than simple models without using possibility theory and fuzzy logic.

Investors have been trying to find a way to predict stock prices and to find the right stocks and right timing to buy or sell. Recently, data mining techniques and artificial intelligence techniques have been applied to this area. Association discovery is one of the most common Data Mining techniques used to extract interesting knowledge from large datasets. In this paper, we propose a new multi-objective evolutionary model which maximizes the omprehensibility, interestingness and performance of the objectives in order to mine a set of quantitative association rules from financial datasets, including 10 common indicators of technical analysis. To accomplish this, the model extends the two well-known Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II and Non-dominated Ranked Genetic Algorithm, to perform an evolutionary learning of the intervals of the attributes and a condition selection for each rule. Moreover, this proposal introduces an external population and a restarting process to the evolutionary model in order to store all the nondominated rules found and improve the diversity of the rule set obtained. The results obtained over real-world stock datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Manuscript profile -

Design of control charts refers to the selection of parameters, including sample size, control-limit width, and sampling frequency. Many researchers have worked on this issue and have also proposed various solutions. However, despite the numerous advantages, the proposed methods also have their own set of problems. The biggest challenge is the complexity of solving these issues. Due to the fact that optimal design of control charts can be formulated as a multi objective optimization problem, in this paper to solve this problem, we used initial solution Spider's web data envelopment analysis method. In previous methods used multiple algorithms to resolve the issue. But in the proposed method once using Data Envelopment Analysis method and without any other algorithm can solve multi objective problem and this method can yield desirable efficient.

The research innovation involved considering demand behavior as a function of product prices in competitive conditions and based on that, the aim was to develop a mathematical model to design a closed loop supply chain in competitive conditions. In such a price chain, it is a fundamental factor that can determine the amount of demand and consequently change the structure of the chain. For this purpose, in the third chapter, first a function between the amount of demand and the price of products was presented. Then, by completing the research assumptions, a two-objective mathematical model of the research was presented. The first goal is to reduce costs and increase chain revenue. In other words, the first goal is to maximize supply chain profits. The second goal is to focus on market share, and by increasing the desirability of sales centers, we seek to maximize market share.By presenting such a model, it is necessary to provide techniques for achieving several goals. In this regard, the SFLA algorithm to solve this mathematical model was described. This method is a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on the behavior of frogs.For this purpose, first, by solving the model as a one-objective, the model was validated and the results were proved to be correct, logical and reliable.

What facilitates this movement is research and development in these companies. The present study seeks to develop a dynamic model of research and development strategy to achieve business objectives using the dynamic system modeling method as a powerful tool to analyze the factors affecting the system and analyze the relationships between them and predict future system behavior based on pre-defined scenarios. The causal loops have been extracted and modeled with the viewpoint of experts in the power industry, and Vensim software has been used for modeling. In this study, three scenarios are considered to increase the achievement of R&D strategy objectives. In the baseline scenario, it is assumed that the values of the decision parameters and levers are consistent with the past trend. In optimistic scenario, R&D budget and external collaborations will improve and the organization is more successful in attracting external funding and support for R&D projects, Also, in this scenario, the quality of project management is improved by reducing project execution time and project failure rate. In the pessimistic scenario, the above variables change in the opposite direction. The simulation results show that the 20% change in most of the variables will affect more than 20%, indicating the effectiveness of the change. Manuscript profile -

Mohammad Shabani Soltan Moradi Mohammad Azadi Homayoun JahanianDesigning tunnels in liquefiable sandy soils presents a significant challenge in determining the optimal depth and extent of soil cementation around them. Reducing the depth of the tunnel decreases both the bending anchor force and the axial load on the tunnel's shell, MoreDesigning tunnels in liquefiable sandy soils presents a significant challenge in determining the optimal depth and extent of soil cementation around them. Reducing the depth of the tunnel decreases both the bending anchor force and the axial load on the tunnel's shell, yet it leads to an increase in ground surface settlement, and the opposite is true when depth is increased. Enhancing the cementation level at the tunnel's optimal depth reduces both structural uplift and shear forces exerted on the tunnel lining, but it also leads to an increase in axial loads and vice versa. Given the contradictory nature of these outcomes, the FLAC software was employed to simulate tunnels in liquefiable soils to address this dilemma. Subsequently, a neural network was utilized to identify correlations between the inputs and outputs of the simulation. This network was the objective function for identifying optimal values by applying a genetic algorithm. Optimal design parameters were derived using the NSGA-II modified algorithm, a multi-objective optimization technique based on the objective functions. Ultimately, Pareto charts generated from the multi-objective optimization process enabled designers to select the most suitable tunnel location according to their specific requirements concerning depth and soil cementation in liquefied soils.

In this regard, fundamental transformation document on the of Iran's education system was formulated in 2011 year and communicated to all education organizations in the country, but many experts believe that this document has not yet been operational. Therefore, the purpose of this study was identify and assess the barriers to the realization of the operational objectives of the transformational document. The research type is applied in terms of its purpose and is descriptive-survey. The statistical population consisted of managers and teachers of Fars province in 2018-2019 academic year, that due to the extent of Fars Province, this research was carried out in Shiraz and Fasa cities, as the selected cities. The sample size was obtained using Cochran's formula of 242 people. Data were collected using field method and a researcher-made questionnaire in 40 items with 7 components (technical, structural, cultural, managerial, financial and equipment barriers, manpower and social preparedness) in terms of a 7-degree Likert spectrum. Questionnaire content & construction validity confirmed. Questionnaire reliability barriers to the realization operational objectives by using Cronbach Alpha Coefficient estimated equal to 0.90. Data’s analysis done in descriptive & inferential levels by using Spss & Lisrel software’s. The findings showed that the role of all barriers to achieving the operational goals of the transformational document was higher than the average. Also, Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between all dimensions and components, in other words, increasing each of these barriers cause to increases other obstacles. Also among operational goals of the transformational document, structural and managerial barriers with 0.83 had the most load factor and cultural barrier with 0.51 having the least factor load and weight.

The importance and the standpoint of silence in the domain of Persian literature from the past till present have been to such an extent that it has determined the life and the death of individuals, and have entailed their welfare or damnation. Poet and the prominent literary figure of Hindi style (Isfahani), Sa’eb Tabrizi relying upon the ideas and mystical thoughts of Moulana regarding silence and its three kinds such as (silent tongue and speaking mind, silent tongue and mind, silent mind and speaking tongue) and upon making use of poetic imageries such as allegorical simile and allusion in his divan, appropriately called “Khamoushi Nameh” could well fulfill his mission as a poet and master towards his own people and future generations. This article deals with silence along with presenting evidence from other poets. Manuscript profile -

Second, formulating a two level linear fractional programming problem in which the two companies maximize the profitability represented by the ratio of profit to sales, the interactive fuzzy programming for two level linear fractional programming problems applied to the profitability maximization problem. From the fact that there exists a possibility that maximization of the profitability would reduce the scale of the business, formulating the problems on production and service as the profit maximization problem is recommended. Through interactive process of the fuzzy programming for two level programming problems, the Production Company and Service Company can attain a satisfactory solution for planning of the production and service workforce assignment. As for the satisfactory (final) solutions, because the upper level specifies the minimal satisfactory level of itself, the characteristics of the upper level company can be seen rather than those of the lower level company.
