Development catalyst projects are no exception to this rule. In recent years, with the increase of these projects, It is necessary to study the views of citizens of the neighborhoods targeted for regeneration as the main stakeholders of these projects. The current study aims to determine the effectiveness of the match factory revitalization project in improving the quality of the neighborhood to measure the perceptions and expectations of neighborhood residents of the dimensions and factors of local development and catalyst. This research is of applied type and has been prepared by evaluation method with gap analysis model, and its statistical population consists of residents and businesses over 18 years of age in the Koochamshki neighborhood. The sample size was determined using Cochran's formula and simple random method, 384 people. The required information was collected through library and survey studies using a questionnaire and analyzed using ANOVA and T-Test. The results indicate a high score of respondents 'expectations from the three dimensions of development and catalyst (4.23) and a low score of their perception (3.26), which shows that there is a difference between residents' perceptions and expectations after the revival of the match factory. Also, the existence of a significant gap (-0.97) between residents' perceptions and expectations of the dimensions and factors of development and catalyst in this neighborhood confirms the second hypothesis of the research. Calculating the difference between the average score of residents' perceptions and expectations among the factors also shows that the largest gap belongs to the factor of "residential dignity" (-1.48) and the lowest gap belongs to the factor of "physical and environmental status of housing" (-0.4). dedicated. The findings also indicate that there is a significant difference between the expectations and perceptions of respondents in terms of their residency, but in relation to the gender of respondents, despite the gap between the views of both sexes, no significant difference in terms of perception and expectation was found between men and women. An important issue in findings is the negative gap in all dimensions and factors studied which shows the failure of planners to meet residents' expectations of changes effected by the catalyst project. Observations and field studies show that after the implementation of this project, growing events have taken place in this neighborhood; But analytical studies indicate that the implementation of this project has not yet been able to meet the demands and needs of neighborhood residents. The research findings indicate the existence of a gap between residents' perceptions and expectations of development factors in this neighborhood, which is statistically significant. An important issue in the research findings is the negative gap in all dimensions and factors studied, which shows the failure of planners to meet residents' expectations of changes effected by the local development catalyst project. In order to increase the residents' satisfaction, the factors with more gaps should be prioritized and measures should be taken to reduce the desired gap. Manuscript profile -

Hence, this study set to investigate the pedagogical roles of Iranian non-native teacher educators (TEs) in educating preservice and in-service EFL teachers from the viewpoint of language institute managers. To this end, following a qualitative survey research design, a total of 30 institute managers were selected via the snowball sampling method and engaged in semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The participants’ responses were voice recorded and then thematic analysis was conducted to extract the main themes and subcomponents. The findings of the study showed that institute managers assigned three main instructional roles to TEs: holding preservice/in-service teacher education courses, revising the assessment system, and designing effective language syllabuses. Accordingly, language institute managers believed that effective TEs should not only be responsible for running teacher education courses but also engage in the evaluation process by checking and revising the testing procedures and designing and developing relevant instructional syllabuses in cooperation with educational managers of the institutes.

In this regard, the students’ perceptions of classroom activities questionnaire was carried out on 360 students (252 girls and 108 boys) who were selected through stratified sampling method from among the students of the Faculty of Humanities at Islamic Azad University of Quchan. In order to assess the questionnaire reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used, and to determine the factorial validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was applied. In line with the results obtained by Gentry, Gable and Rizza (2002) and Karshky, et al. (2009, 2011), the present study showed that this questionnaire has acceptable internal consistency and Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the test is 0.901 and for the subtests, it is between 0.662 and 0.91. Also, the results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicate that the questionnaire structure has acceptable fit to the data and all the goodness of fit indices confirm the model (AGFI= 0.85, GFI= 0.90, RMSEA= 0.056, RMR= 0.07, CFI= 0.91). So, this questionnaire can be a useful tool for assessing students’ perceptions of classroom activities. Manuscript profile -

64 - Analysis of “the Paradox of Sensory Knowledge” in Aristotle’s Philosophy
کرامت ورزدار Ahad Faramarz Gharamaleki Abd AlRasool KashfiIn Aristotle's philosophy, knowledge begins with the senses, and sensory perceptions bring knowledge to man through the activity of the "nous" faculty.

Unlike Plato, Aristotle denies any innate knowledge; but on the other hand, he clearly states that sensory perceptions do not belong to knowledge and one cannot acquire knowledge to the senses. This creates a paradox in Aristotle's philosophy. If sensory perceptions do not belong to knowledge, how does knowledge arise from "what does not belong to knowledge" and because of the lack of which component of "knowledge", these perceptions do not belong to "knowledge"? According to the authors, the solution to this paradox goes back to the definition of "knowledge" and the possible role of sensory perceptions in the emergence of knowledge in Aristotle. Aristotle does not consider knowledge to be merely "justified true belief" but narrows the scope of "knowledge" to other conditions such as necessity and causality. Therefore, although belief in sensations is a true belief, but these perceptions do not belong to "knowledge" due to the lack of the condition of generality and causality. Manuscript profile -

In this theory, he has classified the derivative perceptions into three categories: the quality of the emerging of derivative sciences by human being, the quality of the origination of multiplicity in the sciences and the quality of the relationship between derivative sciences and real and true effects. Epistemologically, this theory can affect profoundly many issues in several sciences, or at least it is supposed to have such impacts on some areas. As far as effectiveness is concerned, the theory can be compared to or at least be considered close to Mollasadra’s Theory of substantial movement. This paper attempts to explain the impacts of this theory on different sciences, it briefly explains the impacts of derivative perceptions theory on philosophy and ethics. Some critics about these impacts are also addressed in the paper. Manuscript profile -

66 - The critical analysis of the truth of moral propositions in the light of the explanation of human acts
Reza kayed khordeh Ghasem ali kouchnaniThe destiny of many issues in the moral philosophy is tied to this subject namely the truth of moral propositions.

Confliction MoreThe destiny of many issues in the moral philosophy is tied to this subject namely the truth of moral propositions. There are two main theories about it; some believe that the universal principles of ethics reflect the external world and the others deny that. Conflictions between these scholars have been continued intensively, to now. According to the author, this problem in moral philosophy will be solved basically by Anthropology. In the other word, for the proponents of the reflective moral propositions, only will be two options: 1) they have to show that the ethical issues can also be resolved without discussing on the reflective elements. 2) Or at least they need to explain that the non-reflective elements must be ignored in the moral general principles. Therefore, for judging appropriately between these two groups, should be discussed on two affairs: "the necessity of abstractive perceptions" and " the criteria of derivation" .The other group, in the light of the explanation of voluntary human actions, proves that above mentioned ways are blocked. Firstly, human actions cannot be explained without believing in derivative perceptions, secondly, ethical propositions, particularly the universal principles, have standard of the derivation, therefore they are abstractive and non-reflective.

The present research is applied in the field of survey method in terms of the purpose of data collection. The statistical population of the survey includes all employees (1498) of the Ministry of Sports and federations. Among them, 705 people were randomly selected as research sample. Data collection was done by distributing the questionnaire. The staff completed the questionnaire of Machiavellism, self-esteem, control centre, job independence, feedback, and variety of skills, relationship with the manager, focus, formalization, and participation in decision making, procedural justice and perception of organizational politics. SPSS version 19 and PLS software were used to analyze the data and to test the hypotheses. The findings showed that the proposed model has good fit with the data. In addition, the role of mediating perceptions of organizational politics and the moderating role of political will was confirmed. In organizations, politics is a fact of life. Those who can not understand political behaviours cannot understand the fact that the organization is a political system. Therefore, organizations have to move towards becoming a politician, and managers in this regard must make the necessary efforts in order to achieve organizational goals. Manuscript profile -

The research was applied in terms of purpose and the method was descriptive, correlational. The statistical population of this study included 4816 students of Secondary school of Neka. The sample included 381 participants recruited by using Krejcie and Morgan’s Table via stratified random sampling concerning gender. The data were gathered by using three Questionnaires: Valinejad Sangdehee et al.’s (2016) modern teaching methods, Bouffard et al.’s (1995) self-regulated learning strategies, and Gantry et al.’s (2002) perceptions of classroom activities Questionnaires. The reliability of the instruments was calculated to be 0.70, 0.77 and 0.92 respectively using Cronbach’s alpha. To analyze the collected data structural equation modeling was employed using the PLS software. The results of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between modern teaching methods and measuring the perceptions of classroom activities with self-regulated learning strategies. 83.7% of self-regulated learning strategies and 73.3% of perceptions of classroom activities were explained by modern teaching methods. The perceptions of classroom activities had a mediating effect on the relationship between modern teaching methods and self-regulated learning strategies. The indices indicated that the proposed model is an appropriate fit. Manuscript profile -
