        Measuring the performance of a production system is an important task in management for purposesof control, planning, etc.Lord Kelvin said, “When you can measure what you are speaking about, andexpress it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when youcannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.”Hence, management knowledge is a measurable science; if we can’t measure each subject, then wecan’t control then, and management is impossible. We know that the major criterion of performance isproductivity, and we should be able to measure it. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) can estimatesystematically the relative efficiencies of an organization. The efficiency of a organization can bebenchmarked using DEA. DEA presents a model for evaluating the performance of a set ofcomparable decision making units (DMUs). In this paper, we develop a new model for calculatingproductivity with data envelopment analysis. Manuscript profile

        In this research, it has been attempted to model the production line of reinforcement barsusing discrete simulation modeling to determine the number of cranes required, considering therelevant factors such as, production line speed, failure rates of each machine and the spacerequirement. To achieve this, the production process was first investigated and an appropriatesimulation model was formulated using the Enterprise Dynamics (ED) simulation package. Therelevant data were then collected for each entity through time study. The sample size and thestatistical distributions were identified. To check for model validation, the simulation resultswere compared with actual data using statistical tests. To determine the desired number ofcranes and improve the production line performance, three indices i.e. output rate, productivityfactor and mean waiting time were determined through expert opinion and eight differentlayouts were constructed as alternatives considering the space constraint. All three indices weredetermined through simulation taking a reproducible approach. The weights of the criteria werecomputed using the Entropy technique and the alternatives were ranked using the TOPSISmethodology Manuscript profile

        In this research, it has been tried to find the correlation between the management accounting information and the continuous operational improvement of industrial corporations with applying the multiple linear regression. The first main hypothesis (H1) indicates that Internal performance is positively related to the implementation programs, and the second main hypothesis (H2) indicates that Improvements in internal performance are positively related to the uses of management accounting information. The results for H1 hypothesis show that between sales and operating value added, the correlation is very high. The results of testing by X2 and K-S, show that only three following dependent variableshave normal distributions: ROS1 with X2 = 14.97, P=0.06 (in X2 test), A.S.L2 =0.648 (in K-S Test), ROA3 with X2=22.238, P=0.01 (in X2 test), A.S.L = 0.147 (in K-S Test) CGSR1 with X2 = 10.14, P=0.25 (in X2 test), A.S.L= 0.705 (in K-S Test) Between return on sales and operating efficiency, the correlation is high (covariance 0.886, Spearman correlation coefficient 0.927 and correlation ratio 0.780) So on the basis of obtained results, H1 hypothesis can be acceptable, but the results of research for H2 hypothesis indicates that between dependent and independent variables, none correlation is obtained so the H2 hypothesis is rejected. The obtained results from nonparametric testing, indicates that high correlation between ROA and the four following independent variables (fiscal periods, classified percent return, production technology and management accounting information),can be acceptable, but the correlation between ROS and the four independent variables can not be acceptable.

        Limitation of resources is an undeniable fact, which is dealt with many organizations such as media organizations. Hence, improving the performance of resource utilization of these organizations is one of the most important concerns of the managers. As a result, a manager must evaluate the performance of their organizations frequently. In this paper, we intend to measure the progress and regress of Iranian printed newspapers between two times 2016 and 2017. The current study is applied in terms of purpose and uses the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), which is a very useful approach in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure the rate of progress and regress of decision-making units (DMUs) under evaluation. The data analysis was done utilizing GAMS, which is a high-level modeling system for mathematical programming and optimization. After reviewing the performance measurement literature and interviewing with media management specialists and also experts from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance-Deputy of Press and Information Affairs, appropriate indicators were recognized and selected. The results of the comparison of intra-organizational indicators in two consecutive years of 2016 and 2017 represents that 29 units from 87 DMUs have experienced progress and 58 ones regressed. In order to improve the performance of the regressed units, an appropriate strategy has been proposed. Manuscript profile

        The indicators used in economics to calculate the productivity scale are not always positive, therefore, existing models need to be developed to calculate the productivity scale for the semi-negative and semi-positive output index. However, companies with a lack of capacity need to achieve economies of scale and demand for realization simultaneously in the presence of a negative outflow index, especially when demand of companies varies, but always the amount of customer demand is equal to the amount Output, the demand level may be less than the maximum output level of the most productivity scale (MPSS), between the highest output level of the MPSS and the maximum output level, or greater than the maximum output level. When the output indicator is evaluated, the return on capital is in circulation, since this index can have negative values. One of the questions is, what models can be used to maximize the efficiency of the ROI in comparison with the realization of the demand? In this paper, we intend to find, in the three scenarios, the demand level, the highest productivity efficiency indicator of the return on capital employed in comparison with the demand for 24 active insurance companies in 1396. In fact, we will provide a development of Lee's (2016) paper for the positive and negative outflow index, and eventually we will launch on 24 active insurance companies in 1396. Manuscript profile

        In the present research, an optimization process was performed in Signoff unit of Saipa Corporation based on the discrete event simulation using a multiple objective function. The required information, including the operation classes (product inspection, adjustment, and reworking), the flow between different workstations, operation times, production cost identification, etc., were extracted from the actual data recorded for March 2018- March 2019 period. For the purpose of simulation, firstly, the model was built using the Arena software and all effective parameters and variables were introduced into the model following the planning of various scenarios. Upon a predetermined number of iterations, the bottleneck was identified and the model was verified. Next, in a primary phase, the OptQuest software was utilized to find the optimal number of workers for minimizing the production costs after 378 iterations (upon satisfaction of an automatic stop criterion), and the result was used as input for a secondary phase where the model was optimized for enhancing the operational capacity of the logistic units upon 303 iterations. Using the results of this research, it was anticipated to achieve 21.6% drop in the number of Operator along with 10% increase in the logistic capacity, 4% reduction in the production costs, and 2% increase in the production rate.

        The trend of population growth and development of cities in recent decades has led to the use of vehicles, both private and public. Meanwhile, public transportation has attracted a lot of attention due to its economic viability. Therefore, urban planning officials and municipalities try to solve problems such as; Environmental pollution, heavy traffic congestion, insecurity on some roads, severe accidents on some roads and excessive consumption of fuel suitable for vehicles (including oil - diesel and gasoline) are to consider appropriate measures. Data envelopment analysis with appropriate mathematical solutions can be an accurate and comprehensive tool to investigate such situations, so that managers can use it to make the best decision and remove existing barriers. Our goal in this article is to determine the efficiency, satisfaction and productivity (productivity in efficiency, productivity in satisfaction) of public vehicles, specifically 10 bus lines in Mashhad, so that their productivity in three consecutive years 91, 92 and 93 has been evaluated and the ratio of productivity in satisfaction to productivity in efficiency of each line has been calculated.

        This paper examines the impact of government expenditures on public health and its subsequent economic changes in Iran. This study is using a panel data of 28 provinces in Iran from 1379-89 to recognize triggering changes in labor productivity. The results indicate that government expenditure on wages and salaries; expenditures on consumables; drugs for health service; bandages and so on have positive and lasting effects on labor productivity. However, government investments for infrastructure such as building of a new hospital do not show any significant effect on labor productivity. It is surprising to realize that for the period of our study; only 6.3% of economic growth was due to capital expenditure whereas the effect of current expenditure was 20 fold higher.  Manuscript profile

        According to development economists in the modern theory of economic growth, total factor productivity is affected by domestic research and development costs .It also depends on the accumulation of foreign R & D and the volume of imports. According to the results of this research, total factor productivity in agriculture of Iran's is dependent on domestic and foreign R & D expenditures and the volume of imports from Partners. For this purpose, a model of agricultural total factor productivity to Iran with the help of ARDL econometrics approach and the time series between 1980 - 2010 was estimated.  The results showed that effect of domestic research expenditures on agricultural productivity is less than of foreign investment in research and development. In this study, intermediate inputs and goods imports have a positive and significant impact on agricultural TFP in the long-term. Climatic conditions as a symbol of rain, has a positive effect on agricultural total factor productivity. Based on this model, it is suggested that a significant proportion of GDP allocated to domestic agricultural research.  Furthermore, it is essential that agricultural imports from countries with a high volume of research and development to be done to enhance the size of productivity in this sector.

        In the past few decades several countries in the world have attracted foreign direct capital as one of the instruments needed for financing the increasing level of internal investment. In this connection, the economic conditions of host countries for increasing the level of FDI have been considered as an important factor in achieving their objective. In this study, the impact of some macro-economic variables on FDI is examined in detail in Iran. The period selected is 1352-1388 years and the econometric technique used in this article is the Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity(GARCH) for evaluating the conditions of instability and Power Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (PGARCH) for the conditions of asymmetry. The estimated results of  the model show that under conditions of instability, increasing the exchange rate has a negative impact on FDI, whereas raising labor productivity, protecting investment security and keeping the degree of openness of the economy has a positive effect on attracting FDI. The estimated outcomes obtained under the unstable conditions, due to the type of impact that the explanatory variables may put on the dependent ones, are similar with those under the stable short-run and long-run model with different effective coefficients[1] and that on the other hand they show a positive effect of the shock caused under the unstable conditions on net decrease in FDI. In sum, the results show the asymmetric effects of the shocks on net FDI.  Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Nowadays, improving productivity as the most effective way to achieve growth is raised. Key to improving productivity lies in the measurement and analysis of productivity. Also, Analysis and productivity measurement is practical when productivity changes over time with the productivity indices is showed. Methodology: This study is a correlation- regression analysis. At first, production Elasticity coefficients of capital and labor was calculated through estimating a Cobb-Douglas production function using data of 10 pharmaceutical production companies active in the Tehran Stock Exchange during years 1389 to 1393 and panel data with fixed effects . Then, TFP index for these companies is estimated by taking into account the estimated coefficients in the Kendrick index. The index for the years 1394 to 1398 by applying the scenario of continuity of labor, capital and added value for any company is predicted. Results: TFP during the years 1389 to 1393 show that the two companies Alborz Darou and Luqman is located in the better status and Tehran Chemical Company is located in the lowest position. Forecasting for TFP during the next five years also shows the two Luqman and Alborz Darou and Rayhan are in good condition, but Tehran Chemical Company continues to be exposed to unsuitable conditions. Conclusion: The findings suggest that Tehran Chemical Company to improve its total factor productivity should seriously pursue productivity cycle management. Manuscript profile

        Continuous growthing  in  the service part is an important subject  in the developed economic and competition world. Thus assessment of efficiency and productivity and recognizing the activity of parts are an important aim for an organization to reach the targets point. So , this study illustrates the efficiency, productivity and ranking of the insurance s parts of tamin-e-ejtemae with two approach: Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) & Malmquist  and comparing  these two methods. The main targets are recognizing   inefficiency parts , peers for them, input slacks and determining  how is the return to scale(CRS or VRS). For exact assessment of  efficiency  and ranking , all of the insurances parts in Tehran (31 DMU) has been considered during 1385-1386. The reasons under VRS show that the average of scale efficiency, X- efficiency and technical efficiency are 0.786, 0.921, 0.731 , so scale inefficiency X- inefficiency and  technical inefficiency are 0.214, 0.79, 0.269. Under the Malmquist  approach although  scale efficiency, X- efficiency and  technical efficiency decreased , the technological efficiency had better result than another . Totally productivity has the positive process and 4% has growthed . So the first hypothesis confirmed that the reasons of the efficiency, ranking and productivity in the insurances parts are similar with DEA and Malmquist approach. The second hypothesis did not confirm that the level of the efficiency has equivalent with the ranking of insurances parts. In this study, targets show that parts of insurance can increase efficiency with decrease inputs, so the third hypothesis has confirmed Manuscript profile

        Accounting information is important for evaluating stakeholders’ accountability and decision making in public sector. Most of the information needs of the managers of the reporting Entities in the public sector are obtained from the management accounting system. Therefore, this study explains the functions of management accounting in the public sector. The research method is qualitative and the required data was through interviews with 13 experts in this field. Findings show that the functions of management accounting in the public sector can be classified into eight classes: organizational planning, budgeting, costing, financial and non-financial reporting, monitoring and controlling, (balanced) performance appraisal and human resource management. Applying a management accounting system to the public sector can help organizations evaluate performance, increase transparency, and create value for money. Moreover, an acceptable position has not been defined for management accounting in the public sector. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the development of management accounting system in the public sector helps to evaluate performance, increase transparency and create value. Explaining the functions of management accounting clarifies the need to use and develop management accounting systems in the public sector. Manuscript profile

        The performance-based budgeting (PBB) allocates budget to outcomes. This research, with the introduction of productivity as an alternative to the outcomes, presents a mathematical model for performance-based budgeting in order to allocate budget to productivity criteria. New trends in budgeting are process-oriented, so the productivity is suitable for PBB. This research presents a mathematical model for PBB. The model has been designed by Chebyshev's goal programming technique. Data for calculating productivity indicators were collected from gas refineries of Iran in 2011–2015 and analyzed by Excel and GAMS software. Then, the model was tested for determining the 2016 budget of those refineries. The model was solved by LINGO software by linking it to Excel. The solution of the model reduced 1.47% of the total refinery's budget compared with the actual budgets for 2016. The results of this study showed that the presented model provides significant improvement in the level of achievement of goals and the objective function. Saving costs and collecting funds from low-productivity units and directing them to high productivity is a strategic and important policy. Manuscript profile

        Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between resistance to change and the productivity of the librarians at Tehran branches of the Islamic Azad University. Methodology: The methodology of this study was descriptive and correlation. Participants included 145 librarians at 44 library locations of Islamic Azad University. The instrument used in data gathering was a questionnaire. In order to analyze the data, descriptive and analytical methods plus the SPSS 22 had been used. 145 questionnaires were handed out but only 135 of them were received and examined. Findings: “Ability” as one of the dimensions of “librarians’ productivity” was higher than the other elements (with a mean of 3.6) and motivation was the lowest of all (with the mean of 2.1). Moreover, organizational level with the mean of 2.9 had the highest percentage of librarians’ resistance to change and individual level with the mean of 2.6 was the lowest of such resistance. The findings showed that at the Islamic Azad University libraries of Tehran, the individual and group level of resistance to change tended towards the average point and the organizational level of resistance had a tendency to move above the average point. Conclusion: At the libraries of Tehran’s Islamic Azad University branches, the ability of the librarians was at a high level but they had little motivation to enhance their productivity. The high level of organizational resistance to change showed the lack of acceptance of organizational changes by the librarians. Overall, the findings indicated there was tendency to move above the average. In other words, an increase in librarians’ resistance to change lead to reduction in their productivity and vice-versa.

        The simulation models of yield response to water are expected to play an increasingly important role in the optimization of water productivity (WP) in agriculture. In this study, the CERES-Wheat model was used to simulate of wheat yield response under different irrigation-cultivar treatments with three irrigation treatments in main plots and Five wheat cultivars in sub plots consisted of C1:C-75-5, C2: C-78-4, C3:C-78-8, C4: C-79-6 and C5: C-79-16 in Mashhad region during the years of 2002-2003 and 2003-2004. According to the results, the relative root mean square error of grain yield simulation by CERES-Wheat model was 7 and 10 % for 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 years, respectively. Because, the relative root mean square error was less than 10 percent, so done well simulation. Also, the root mean square error calculated for grain yield for both years was less than 10 percent of the observed mean. The results are indicating a good match to the simulation results of the model. The value water productivity based on crop evapotranspiration and irrigation water value in I3-C-79-6 treatment has the value highest for both years of 2002-2003 and 2003-2004. Therefore, the noted irrigation management (I3) and wheat cultivar (C-79-6) can be recommended in the study area. The overall findings of this study to confirm the optimal performance of the model CERES-Wheat in the growth process simulation and the water impact on yield in the study area. Manuscript profile

        In order to identify sensitivity of different potato genotypes to water stress, a research was carried out as a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications in Karaj in 2014 and 2015. Potato genotypes at eleven levels (Agria, Caesar, Savalan, Sante, Marfona, Milva, Picasso, Hermes, Jelli, 397081-1, 397069-2) and irrigation treatments in two levels (stress and control) are conducted. Tape irrigation was done normally and in the early stages of tuber production, watering for stress plots was disconnected and control plots were irrigated in a normal way, after reaching to ninety percent of the soil moisture deficit, irrigation was done again until the soil moisture reached field capacity and irrigation was done normally up to the end of growing season. Combined analysis of data for two years showed a reduction of biological yield, healthy tuber fresh weight, marketable healthy tuber fresh weight, LAIM, dry weight of LAIM, evapotranspiration and water usage in genotypes under the stress compared to the control. WP based on fresh weight of healthy tubers and fresh weight of marketable healthy tubers reduced or showed a tendency to reduction in most of genotypes under the stress. WUE based on the healthy tuber yield and marketable healthy tuber yield decreased under the water stress compared to the control in all genotypes except for 397069-2. The most amount of WP based on fresh weight of the marketable healthy yield was observed in 397069-2, respectively (5.41) and (5) kg/m3 in two years under the stress. Based on results of this experiment, doing of additional researches in order to achieve suitable potato genotypes for planting in actual deficit water conditions of our country according to diversity of planting season, place, climate, quality of seed potato, experts and etc. are recommended.

        GDP is one of the most important economic indicators at regional and national levels. Regarding climatic conditions, in most regions of Iran, production without irrigation is not economic. Hence, the analysis of irrigation sector share in total agricultural production and estimation of economic value that is associated to irrigation process is necessary. In this research, the gross value of irrigated agricultural products in Qazvin province (garden and annual crops) was calculated based on the methodology provided by the National Center for Statistics of Australia. So, irrigated and rainfed products were analyzed during the period from 2002 to 2016. The results showed, gross value of irrigated agricultural products of province in 2016 was 29491 billion Rials and equal to 95 percent of the total gross value of agricultural products. Irrigated grapes, wheat and tomatoes were rank first to third crops based on GVIAP index with 20%, 8%, 7% of gross value of irrigated agricultural productions in province. Also, based on the amount of consumed water by the products, the share of each cubic meter of irrigation water in the gross value was calculated 15259 Rials. Analysis of water use pattern showed that alfalfa with 5% share in gross value has the highest share in water use pattern (18%). In order to mitigate the economic consequences of water shortage in the agricultural sector, consideration of the GVIAP index and water use pattern can be recommended. Manuscript profile

To increase the accuracy of modeling, including soil water balance, crop production and root growth, a one-day time step is considered by replacing real-time data. For this purpose, the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (PSOA) is used to maximize the net benefit of a growing season. The results showed that the optimal economic efficiency of water was obtained for tomato by 92500 IRR/m3. Its yield production also has increased more than 3000 kg/ha in an optimal strategy with a 35 percent reduction in water consumption. Furthermore, critical periods of crop water requirement was between the maximum canopy cover and the start of senescence. Crops like wheat, barley, and rapeseed which their conopy coverage decrease after senescence stage, are more compatible with deficit irrigation. Manuscript profile

        Water and nitrogen are the main factors limiting the maximum yield Achievement. Application of nitrogen fertilizer has great impact to increasing agricultural production. On the other hand, the high use of these fertilizers is due to the low efficiency of these fertilizers. This research was conducted in response to the challenges of water scarcity and inappropriate management of nitrogen utilization. To quantitate the reaction of the plant and calculate the water and fertilizer efficiency, two irrigation levels, full irrigation (I1) and deficit irrigation equal 30% (I2) as the first factor and two nitrogen levels of 200 (N1) and 160 (N2) kg per hectare, it was considered as a second factor. Experiments were carried out as field treatments and in lysimeters as a factorial in a completely randomized block design with three replications. The cultivars used were maize hybrid 611 and 704 mediator SC, which were cultivated in two seasons of spring and autumn, respectively. Based on the results of this study, leaf area index with higher nitrogen application in the same moisture conditions is increased. Nitrogen increase, while that enough water is available to the plant, increases the weight of 1000 seeds, grain yield, biological yield and harvest index. Optimum use of water and nitrogen fertilizer increases grain yield and therefore increases water use efficiency. With increasing nitrogen content, nitrogen use efficiency decreases in corn cultivation. Under stress conditions, with increasing nitrogen consumption, fertilizer N-recovery efficiency is also reduced by decreasing the absorption of this element by the plant. The economic and biological efficiency of water use in autumn cultivation was more than spring cultivation. Low spring yield and high rainfall during autumn crop period were due to the efficiency and more productivity of water use in autumn cropping. In Khuzestan weather conditions, the use of early cultivars is recommended instead of the mediator for spring crop due to coincide the pollination time with intense heat. Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluate the Aquacrop model and investigate the productivity of rice production under irrigation management and planting date, a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications was carried out on a local cultivar (Hashemi) in Rice Research Institute of Iran, in Rasht during 2016-2017. Irrigation interval was considered as the main factor in four levels including full flooding, 5, 10 and 15 days irrigation intervals, and transplanting date was assigned to subplots at three levels (April, 21st, May, 11th and May, 31st). Simulated and observed values of grain yield and biological yield were evaluated based on coefficient of determination, T-test, root mean square error (RMSE), Model efficiency (EF), mean bias error (MBE) and normalized root mean square error (RMSEn). The results showed that normalized root mean square error of the grain yield and biological yield were 9% and 5%, respectively. Based on the productivity and reduction in the yield of rice, flooding irrigation was the most efficient in April, 21th planting date. According to the correlation coefficient upper than 0.7 and Model efficiency upper than 0.6, the AquaCrop model had a good accuracy in simulating grain yield and biological yield, therefore AquaCrop model can be used to support the results of experiments under irrigation management conditions and different planting dates.

        Background and Aim: Rice is one of the most important agricultural products in the world. Rice cultivation in Iran has great economic and social importance. Mazandaran province is one of the most important rice production centers in Iran, accounting for 44% of the Iran's rice production. Due to the high consumption of water in the agricultural sector, the optimal use of water resources in agriculture is necessary.The water required by rice is directly related to evapotranspiration. The most reliable method of calculating evapotranspiration is using a lysimeter. The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the evapotranspiration of different varieties of rice using mini-lysimeters and to introduce the best variety for cultivation. Method: The experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications and eleven treatments, at Rice Research Institute of Iran (Amol) during the 2020. The treatments included different rice varieties in 11 levels T1: AR2, T2: AR6, T3: AHS, T4: DAH, T5: 1117, T6: 952, T7: 956, T8: E104, T9: S715, T10: Tarom, and T11: Shiroodi. Mini lysimeters with open bottom and closed bottom had a diameter of 60 cm and a height of 50 cm. Field soil was sampled from 0 to 30 cm depth and studied in the laboratory. The date of transplanting was similar in all rice cultivars The planting density of seedlings was 20×20 cm and 7 seedlings were placed in lysimeter. The lysimeters were placed 6 cm above the ground in the soil. The seeds were planted in a treasury and the seedlings were placed in the lysimeter after 30-35 days (after 3-4 leaves and height 25-20 cm). Water management in lysimeters was in the form of flooding (5 cm). Finally, variance analysis of the obtained data was done using SAS software and the mean of the treatments were compared through the least significant difference (LSD) test at 5% probability level. Results: The results showed that different varieties and lines of rice was effective on infiltration, evapotranspiration, yield, water consumption and were statistically significant at 1% level of probablity. The highest and lowest evapotranspiration with averages of 4938.7 and 3747 m3/ha belonged to T9 and T5 treatments, respectively. The highest and lowest yields with averages of 7773.7 and 2938.1 kg/ha belonged to T8 and T6 treatments, respectively. The highest and lowest values of deep percolation were observed with averages of 303.3 and 185.3 mm in T9 and T5 treatments, respectively. The highest and lowest amount of applied water with averages of 9972 and 7600.3 m3/ha belonged to T9 and T5 treatments, respectively. The highest and lowest water productivity with averages of 0.98 and 0.3 kg/m3 were related to T8 and T9 treatments, respectively. The results showed that the length of the plant growth period was different in the tested cultivars and lines and it was effective on the amount of water consumption.. Conclusion: Finally, in the normal conditions of the region, line E104 is introduced as the best treatment due to the production of maximum grain yield, while in water shortage conditions, the line 1117 is recommended for planting due to less water consumption.

        Background and Aim: One of the most important factors limiting peanut production is water stress and shortage in plant growth stages. Therefore, crop simulation models can be useful for predicting yield and assessing the effect of water stress on plant growth and development. In this study, the WOFOST model was used to simulate biomass yield, seed yield and water use productivity in peanut. As the peanut modeling research has not been well-addressed in Iran, thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of WOFOST model to simulate the yield of two peanut cultivars under irrigation conditions at different growth stages in Astaneh Ashrafiyeh region.Method: This experiment was performed in the form of split plots in a randomized complete block design with three iterations. The main treatment included irrigation until the beginning of flowering time (I1), irrigation until the beginning of pod time (I2) and full irrigation (I3), and the sub-treatment included two cultivars of Jonobi peanut (C1) and Guil (C2). The WOFOST version 7.1.3 model was employed. In this model, crop growth simulation is based on carbon cycle, which models crop growth in three situations: absence of limiting factor, water limitation, and nutrient limitation.Results: Model evaluation showed that the root mean square between the observed and simulated values in estimating biomass yield for Jonobi and Guil cultivars in 2017 were 0.554 and 0.501%, in 2018 were 0.872 and 0.897%, and in 2019 were 0.449 and 0.466%, respectively. The root of the mean squares between the observed and simulated values in estimating seed yield for Jonobi and Guil cultivars in 2017 were 0.052 and 0.065%, in 2018 were 0.132 and 0.131%, and in 2019 were 0.101 and 0.096%, respectively. The mean values of relative error between the observed and simulated values in 2017, 2018 and 2019 for biomass yield were 10.2, 18.1, and 7.7%, and for seed yield were 4.35, 6.4 and, -4.5%, respectively; also the efficiency coefficient index ranged from 0.442 to 0.960.Conclusion: Evaluation of simulated and observed values on biomass yield and seed yield demonstrate that RMSE, RMSEn and other statistical indexes were acceptable and the WOFOST model simulated two peanut cultivars accurately in different irrigation treatments.

        Agriculture is the main and most important source of food supply in the world; therefore, it is an important role in creating a balance in the food, social and even political security of the countries of the world. One of the most effective solutions to deal with the water crisis and increase the quantity and quality of production in the agricultural sector is to pay serious attention to the productivity of agricultural water and improve it by applying wise and efficient methods and policies. Improving water productivity requires a smart management that identifies the tools and methods well and selects the best ones according to the conditions and provides the necessary efforts in their use. Irrigation management with the approach of appropriate use of water resources can help to increase the area under cultivation and optimal consumption as a type of water management in the field. In Iran, pulses are a significant role in providing energy to the people of the society, and it has been tried to increase the water use productivity in proportion to the production and self-sufficiency of the country. Determining and analyzing the indicators and capacities of water productivity can be a suitable solution for making the right policies for the production of peanut in order to achieve maximum profit, sustainable development, production and employment security and export and currency earning considering its high potential. But in the meantime, it is not possible to be satisfied only with the water use productivity in order to determine the consumption. The current research is about the relationship between the amount of water consumed and the yield of the crop, the effect of deficit irrigation on the yield and the effect of different irrigation methods and the water use productivity in peanut, the harvest index in the conditions of full irrigation and water stress as well as the importance of different irrigation managements in the time of water shortage in peanut is presented in a complete manner.

        Background and Aim: The increase in water consumption in agriculture has caused irrigation management to be studied by experts and researchers in recent years. Water is one of the most important factors limiting the production of lentils. Increasing water productivity through the application of deficit irrigation methods is one of the important topics in the production of this crop. One of the important needs in agricultural planning is to identify the plant's nutritional needs. Iron is one of the essential elements of low consumption and low mobility that plants need the most among micronutrients. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the irrigation management and iron nano-chelate on the yield and yield components of lentils in Guilan province.Method: The present experiment is conducted as a split-plot in the form of a randomized complete block design in three iterations in the Deylaman region. The main factor includes four levels namely without irrigation (rainfed), irrigation in the flowering stage, irrigation in the pod formation stage, and irrigation in the flowering and pod formation stage (full) and the sub-factor includes fertilizing nano iron chelate solution during flowering, pod formation time, flowering and podding time and, pre-ripening.Results: The findings of the research demonstrate that the effect of irrigation management and the influence of nano-chelate on grain and biological yields are significant at the level of 1 percent. As a result of irrigation management, the highest grain and biological yields are observed in the flowering and podding stages under irrigation conditions with an average of 1457 and 4380 kg.ha-1, respectively. At different levels of iron nano-chelate fertilizer, in the flowering and podding stage and fertilization in the pre-ripening stage, the highest grain yield is with an average of 834.2 and 861.7 kg.ha-1, respectively, and the maximum biological yield with an average of 3317.4 and 3228.6 kg.ha-1, respectively.Conclusion: With full irrigation, the number of main branches, the number of full pods per plant, and the biological and grain yields increases, and spraying solution of iron nano chelate fertilizer improves the number of nodes in the stem, and the number of full pods in the plant and rises the biological yield. Therefore, full irrigation and use of iron nano chelate fertilizer during the flowering and podding stages are recommended for the local lentil plant in the study area. Manuscript profile

        Conservation of soil and water resources in Iran is of great importance for crop production as well as for environment protection. Due to limited soil and water resources in Iran, new methods that can optimize the use of water and fertilizers for crop production are very important. In this study, the alternate furrow irrigation which is a relatively new method for reducing irrigation water for canola production was investigated. In this study, three irrigation methods including ordinary furrow (OF), variable alternate furrow (VAF) and fixed alternate furrow (FAF) were investigated. In each method, four different nitrogen fertilizer treatments with 0, 100, 200, and 300 kg/ha was applied. The results indicated that the best economic productivity of water usage was obtained in the VAF method with 200 kg/ha nitrogen application. Consequently, this treatment can be recommended for canola production in the studied area. Manuscript profile

        Conservation of soil and water resourcesis the most importantce factor in protection of ecosystem and agricultural product. Due to limited soil and water resources, methods that can optimize the use of water and fertilizer in tea farms are very important. In this study, to analyze theeconomic productivity of water and nitrogen fertilizer in supplemental irrigation in tea farms, split plot experiment, with six levels of 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 kg N ha-1 (N0 to N5) and five irrigation levels consisting of full irrigation (I4), deficit irrigation (I1, I2, I3) and no-irrigation (I0) in four replicates (2008-2010) were conducted. The Results indicated that the highest economic productivity of water and nitrogen fertilizer is obtained with supplemental sprinkler irrigation (3424 m3) and 200 kg N ha-1 application. Increase or decrease in the amount of nitrogen recommended in full irrigated, reduce economic productivity of water and fertilizer. The best economic productivity of water and fertilizer in deficit irrigation was obtained with application of 200 and 100 kg N ha-1, respectively. In rainfed or no irrigation condition, application of 100 kg N ha-1 can be recommended to achieve maximum economic productivity in tea farms. Manuscript profile

        Identifying of effective parameters and planning for their management and coordinating agronomic operation with trend changes of effective parameters leads to improving production baseline and prediction for future. Plant growth and crop production under rainfed is a function of changes in climatic factors. In order to determination of climate-yield production functions, analyzed eight crop seasons data (1998-2006) of 25 climate parameters and rainfed barley grain yields of four cold and semi-cold regions of Lorestan province. These regions were including Aleshtar, Khoram-Abad, Aligodarz and Boroujerd. By path analysis method, correlation coefficient separated to direct and indirect effects. Results showed that in local and common models of production functions, the role of crop season vapor pressure deficit is very important. The local models necessary small input data but common model need more input data. Rain water productivity of all regions determined for eight crop seasons, and amounts of maximum, minimum and average of rain water productivity were 0.3, 0.15 and 0.224 kg per cubic precipitation, which its average was 6 percent lower than national average (0.239 kg.m-3). The maximum temperature, sunshine, absolute maximum temperature and crop season vapor pressure deficit parameters were the most sensitive parameters on grain yield prediction. We conducted the climate-yield models are useful tools to predict rainfed barley yield and so to assist managers and farmers for making decisions in rainfed agronomic activity under climate parameters changes.  Manuscript profile

        The so-called reduced tillage is one the most important management practices for soil and water conservation. In order to study the effect of reduced tillage on energy productivity and wheat yield in Kalpoush region of Shahrood, a randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) experiment with sunflower-wheat rotation was conducted having five treatments and four replicates. The treatments were consisted of chisel plowing at spring + disking (T1), moldboard plowing +disking (T2), reduced tillage with disk harrow (T3), disk plowing + disking (T4) and chisel plowing at autumn +disking (T5). Sunflower was planted at May 2008 and 2011. After harvesting at October 2008 and 2011, all plots were disked. Wheat was planted at November 2008 and 2011 and harvested at July 2009 and 2012. The results showed that there was no significant difference among the treatments (P<5%). In 2009 the maximum (1708 kg/ha) and minimum (1412 kg/ha) crop yield were belonged to T5 and T3 treatments, respectively. In 2011, the maximum (1638 kg/ha) and minimum (1388 kg/ha) yield was obtained from T5 and T2 treatments, respectively. Further data analysis showed that soil water content and wheat yield differences are not significant among the treatments (P<5%). The maximum and minimum soil moisture and wheat yield related to chisel and moldboard ploughs, respectively. Maximum and minimum energy productivity was related to disk harrow and moldboard ploughs, respectively. Chisel plugging increased the wheat yield. Soil inversion index difference was significant among the treatments (P<1%). Maximum and minimum soil inversion index related to moldboard and chisel ploughs, respectively. Considering disk harrow advantages and results of this experiment, for wheat production it may be recommended that plowing can be replaced by disk harrow, disk harrowing for seedbed preparation is sufficient, and plowing isn’t required.

        Introduction : To study the effect of nanostructured silica aerogel as a soil moisture absorbent on yield and water use efficiency of corn and comparison with superabsorbent, a field experiment was carried out in factorial split plot arrangement using randomized complete block design with four replications at Research Farm of Islamic Azad University, Karaj, Iran, in 2013-2014 growing year. Material and Methods: Deficit irrigation with three levels including irrigation with 100, 75 and 50 percent crop water requirement that were located in the main plots and moisture absorbent materials with three levels including non-use absorbent material, used of superabsorbent (30 kg/ha) and used of silica aerogel (5 kg/ha) that were located in the sub plots.Results: The results showed that the highest grain yield (12684 kg/ha) was achieved in condition of irrigation with 100% crop water requirement and used of silica aerogel. The sue of superabsorbent and silica aerogel increased grain yield. While in condition of irrigation with 100% crop water requirement silica aerogel consumption as compared to superabsorbent to increase grain yield was a significant advantage, but in condition of irrigation with 75 and 50% crop water requirement silica aerogel and superabsorbent were in a statistical group. The use of superabsorbent and silica aerogel increased water use efficiency for grain yield (116.2 and 154.1 percent, respectively) and water use efficiency for biologic yield (38.4 and 85.9 percent, respectively) as compared with non-use.Conclusion: Therefore, application of nanostructured silica aerogel is recommended for increasing of yield and water use efficiency of corn.

        Background and Purpose: Effective protection of the environment and optimal use of natural resources is one of the most important pillars of sustainable development. Green productivity is a strategy to increase environmental productivity and performance in order to social and economic development. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) revolution has severely affected all countries in terms of economic, social, political, cultural aspects as well as security, employment, health, the environment, and many other macro variables; so that, the technology has become the main driving force of the world's economy and sustainable development in today's world. According to the importance and the impact of Foreign Direct Investment and Information and Communication Technology on green productivity, this paper uses the Johansen-Joselius coherent test of the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Information and Communication Technology and the Green Productivity Index in Iran. Materials and Methods: The effect of Information and Communication Technology and Foreign Direct Investment on green productivity has been investigated in Iran using the Johansen-Joselius coherent test during the period of 1980-2013. Findings: According to the research findings, the Information and Communication Technology and Foreign Direct Investment have a positive and significant and a negative and significant effect of on the Green Productivity Index in Iran, respectively. Also, the vector error correction model shows that the adjustment process is slowing towards the equilibrium. Discussion and Conclusion: According to the obtained results, and considering the negative and significant effect of Foreign Direct Investment on green productivity, which could be as a result of increased pollution, it is suggested that is possible to provide a ground to improve green productivity by adopting policies to reduce the destructive effects of Foreign Direct Investment, including the replacement of green energy. It is also recommended that environmental regulations and standards be imposed upon the entry of Foreign Direct Investment which could be done with less environmental pollution. The effect of Information and Communication Technology index on Green Productivity Index is positive and significant in Iran. Therefore, it can be surely said that the use of Information and Communication Technology, as a solution for green productivity institutionalization is essential for implementing the continuous and effective process of green productivity improvement. It is also suggested to determine criteria, for the development and implementation of the green productivity concept, that fully cover the qualitative patterns of economic growth and development.

        Background and Objective: Economic growth is the main goal of many economic policies of governments. However, rapid economic growth often causes serious damage to the environment (due to the increasing use of natural resources). Hence, there is a potential contradiction between economic growth policies and the state of the environment, so gradually the issue of conflict between economic growth and environmental quality became one of the topics of discussion in the field of environmental economics. Method: In the field of environmental economics in this study, using data envelopment analysis method (DEA) the environmental efficiency was calculated for developing Islamic countries (D8) during the period of 1980-2014. Then, using the panel data method, the relationship between environmental efficiency and per capita income was investigated. Information about these countries was collected from various economic sites such as the Data world bank, Economy watch and ….  Findings: The results show that the average of environmental efficiency of the D8 countries increased at a rate of 1.02. This increases the efficiency of technology to increase efficiency at the rate of 1.021 and 0.998 of technical efficiency. Technical efficiency is because of the increase in management efficiency (1) and scale efficiency (0.998).  Discussion and Conclusion The growth of environmental efficiency in Iran is 1.016, which is in the fifth place after Malaysia (1.053), Indonesia (1.042), Nigeria (1.036) and Turkey (1.025). According to the results, there is a direct relationship between per capita income and environmental pollution, so Kuznets law is not established in these countries. Manuscript profile

The most important green productivity technique is material and energy flow cost accounting, which in addition to having a complementary role with other ISO 14000 series (environmental management system), includes other green productivity techniques such as Deming cycle, Six Sigma, 3R and there are cases like this. Method: In this paper, in addition to tracking the flow of materials and energy in production processes, quantitative and monetary estimation of quantification centers, the balance of inputs and outputs in each part is estimated and also the potential for reducing materials and energy in these sectors is specified. Results: According to the calculations, the amount of material and energy losses was equal to 17910.6425 tons worth 901761.462 million Rials. The most losses are related to the "CD Hall" quantification center in the resuscitation section and the "cutting" quantification center in the cutting and packaging section, which accounted for 51.61% and 99.94% of the total waste in each section, respectively. Also, the lowest losses were related to the "FTP" calibration center in the resuscitation section and the "transportation" calibration center in the cutting and packaging section. Findings: As calculations and its results, by using Material Flow Cost Accounting in sections that considered in IRALCO, weight of wastages equals to 17910,6425 tons that worth 901761,462 Rials. According to the findings and estimations most of wastages belongs to measurement center of “CD hall” in reduction and measurement of “cutting” in cutting and packing section, respectively with 51/61% and 99/94% of total wastages. Furthermore the lowest amount of wastages belong to "FTP[1]" measurement center in reduction section and “transferring”  measurement center in cutting and packing section that has few wastages. Discussion and Conclusion: Material Flow Cost Accounting is one of the green productivity techniques that by reducing production inputs consumption per production output unit or provision of services unit, reducing production costs, reducing wastages in production processes leads to increasing quality and competitiveness of product and also it leads to economic growth and profitability environmental protection and improving production efficiency of the organization.   Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Cement factories are highly energy- and cost-intensive industries. Energy consumption in thecement industry is in the form of fossil energy carriers such as natural gas and fuel oil that are major sources ofCo2 emissions. Since carbon dioxide emission from cement manufacturing has a high percentage of the total Co2production in the world, there is a high potential for controlling and reducing Co2 emission.Materials & Methods: In this paper, the theory of microeconomics firm was used to present a model foroptimal production productivity considering the external costs of Co2 production in cement industry. To showthe effect of Co2 emission in the model, Co2 emissions is considered as a function of energy consumption andthen added to the set of constraints.Results & Discussion: Eventually by solving the presented model by an advanced mathematical programmingnamed GAMS software, Co2 emission is reduced by 15% and total annual cost is reduced by 6% which areremarkable.

        Introduction: Productivity of Iranian electric industry with environmental criterion is measured in this study. Material and Methods: Adjusted total factor productivity growth rate using Malmquist Index are calculated for 1981-2005. Result and Discussion: The result indicates that including the pollution abatement activities has a measurable effect on the productivity. Comparison of the productivity shows that the mean productivity with and without environmental criterion were 0.971 and 1.025, respectively. Statistical comparison of the mentioned productivity using Mann-Whitney test reveals that this difference is significant. So it is necessary to use environmental criteria for measuring efficiency and productivity in pollutant industries.   Manuscript profile

        The examination of correlation between foreign direct investment (FDI) and total factor productivity growth is one of the controversial issues in economy. Total factor productivity is one of the most important sources of economic growth in many countries, but it remains at low level in Iran's economy. On the other hand, foreign direct investment can be effective in increasing productivity by transferring technology, provided that there are absorption capacities in the host country. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the idea that FDI in interaction with human capital and institutional quality, as absorptive capacities, has a significant impact on productivity growth. For this purpose, in this study, data from 1989-2017 period in Iran and continuous wavelet analysis in content software were used to provide a new insight into time-frequency analysis. The results show that FDI alone in the short and medium term stimulates productivity growth in a limited way. In terms of human capital and institutional quality, long-term foreign direct investment (over 6 years) has a direct and significant impact on productivity growth. According to the findings of the study, skilled human capital and institutional reforms are needed to attract foreign investment and influence its productivity. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, corporate diversification has turned into a highly controversial issue amongst numerous managers. It is contended by many that diversification is vitally important and highly effective especially when it comes to evaluating the financial performance. There are several studies about the relationship between diversification and financial performance. However, there is no agreement that diversified firms are more efficient than focus firms. In this study, the listed firms in Tehran Stock Exchange are ranked based on their efficiency scores calculating by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models. Then, by slack analysis, the proposed improvement strategies for inefficient firms have been cited. Ultimately, the Malmquist index of productivity (MIP) has been utilized to further comparison and analysis. Manuscript profile

        کمبود آب به عنوان فاکتوری محدودکننده رشد و توسعه­ی پوشش گیاهی برای مناطق خشک و نیمه خشک به عنوان یک محدودیت ذاتی برای این اقلیم­ها به شمار می­آید. با توجه به خشکسالی­های متعدد در دو دهه اخیر در استان لرستان و همچنین مصرف بیش از حد آب در بخش کشاورزی باعث شد که مسئله بهره­وری آب در بخش کشاورزی در این استان مهم و نیازمند بررسی­های متعددی باشد. منابع آب در دنیا دارای محدودیت بوده و به علت افزایش جمعیت و تقاضای غذا، مصرف آب برای تولید محصولات کشاورزی نیز افزایش خواهد داشت. از طرفی با توجه به تجارت آب مجازی که به عنوان راهکاری نوین به منظور مقابله با کم آبی مطرح است، تولید محصولاتی که با نیاز آبی زیاد تولید می­شوند، در مناطقی که با بحران آب مواجه هستند معقول به نظر نمی­رسد. یکی از راهکارها برای بالا بردن کارآیی مصرف آب در بخش کشاورزی بالا بردن بهره­وری فیزیکی محصولات زراعی می­باشد. به همین علت تحقیقی در سال زراعی 96- 95 در شهرستان­های خرم آباد، دوره چگنی و کوهدشت برای بررسی میزان بهره­وری فیریکی آب و حجم آب مصرفی در کشت کلزا انجام گرفت. نتایج این تحقیق نشان داد که میانگین نرخ بهره­وری فیزیکی آب در شرایط مدیریتی بهره­برداران تحت پوشش پروژه، برای محصول کلزا برابراست با حداقل 5/0 و حداکثر 67/0 کیلوگرم بر مترمکعب و میانگین 613/0 کیلوگرم بر مترمکعب و میانگین حجم آب مصرفی در طول فصل رشد آن در شهرستان­های خرم آباد، دوره چگنی و کوهدشت به ترتیب برابر است با 3588 و 2971  و 3428متر مکعب در هکتار می­باشد.

        آب اولین و اساسی ترین عامل محدود کننده تولید محصولات کشاورزی است و بدون شک، بحران آب به عنوان یکی از چالش های بین المللی مورد توجه دولت ها و جوامع بشری می باشد. با توجه به اینکه آب مجازی برای اولین بار به عنوان راهی برای مقابله با کمبود آب در کشورهای دارای منابع آب محدود مورد استفاده قرار گرفت، لذا کشورهای با آب کم باید به واردات مواد غذایی از کشورهای دارای آب فراوان به منظور صرفه جویی در منابع محدود آب بپردازند. بنابراین آب مجازی می تواند در کشورهای کم آب مانند ایران به عنوان راهکاری برای کاهش فشار بر منابع آب در نظر گرفت. لذا توجه به مقوله آب مجازی به عنوان راهکاری جهت مدیریت مصرف آب در شرایط بحرانی کم آبی می تواند ضروری به نظر برسد. هدف از این پژوهش، محاسبه آب مجازی محصولات کشاورزی بوده و پس از شناسایی جریان آب مجازی و برآورد میزان آن، شاخص های میزان صادرات، واردات و خالص مبادله آب مجازی، بهره وری، شدت مصرف آب در منطقه و وابستگی یا خودکفایی منطقه به آب مورد نیاز بررسی شده است. محصولات مورد مطالعه در این پژوهش، صیفی جات شامل خیار و گوجه فرنگی بوده که اطلاعات مورد نیاز از سال 1390 الی 1396 جمع آوری شد. نتایج نشان داد، صیفی جات جزء محصولات کم مصرف با بهره وری آب بالا قرار دارند و صادرات آب مجازی در مقایسه با واردات آب مجازی بیشتر بوده و خالص آب مبادله آب مجازی 32/7838- مترمکعب در هکتار است. همچنین شدت وابستگی به آب در منطقه پژوهش در طول دوره افزایشی بوده و در کل از نظر تأمین آب مورد نیاز برای تولید محصولات کشاورزی (خیار و گوجه فرنگی) خودکفا می باشد.

        Proper management and better control of inventory of food items are one of the most important and important goals of food store managers. In this study, we try to provide knowledge of customer segmentation based on various characteristics as inputs in predicting retail demand. The purpose of this paper is to provide a prediction model for retailers based on customer clustering to improve inventory performance. Customer clustering with the genetic algorithm is performed in MATLAB R2016a software. The proposed model is used to predict the demand for five items of supermarket goods in Gorgan. In this paper, the predictions of ARIMA, ARIMA, MLP, and GMDH neural networks are used to predict. Modeling of these models has been done in MATLAB software. The results showed that the GMDH neural network with the clustering of customers had the least predictive error. The model predicted by the inventory control policy reduces the number of days that the shortage faces and increases the level of service to the customer. Retailers can use the proposed model to predict the demand for various items to improve inventory performance and profitability of operations. Manuscript profile

        Potato golden cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis) is one of the most important diseases which causes massive damages in potato and without the management will destroy 100% of crop. In the present study, the effect of two new nematicides Nemakick and Marigold for controlling potato cyst nematode was tested. The experiment was conducted in factorial based of completely randomized design in greenhouse. Two potato cultivars Marfona (Susceptible) and Bamba (Moderately resistant) were planted and two different infection levels of 5 and 20 juvenile and egg per gram of soil and two different doses of Marigold, 150 and 300 Kgha-1 and two different doses of Nemakick, 100 and 200 Kgha-1 were applied just before planting tubers. Pots were incubated in a common greenhouse and 100 days after planting the potatoes were pulled out and population of cysts and juvenile and egg per gram of soil was counted. Potato yield factors were Also measured and the results were analyzed by SAS statistical software. The results indicated that there was a significant effect for nematode populations and potato yield parameters. Bamba showed better results compared to Marfona with respect to number of cysts, juvenile and egg per gram of soil. In Marfona nematicides scaused 35% reduction in juvenile and egg number compared to the control. Appling Marigold with 150 and 300 Kgha-1 had the maximum effect on controlling the nematode. Nemakick treatments with 100 and 200 Kgha-1.were aiso effective and acted closely to Marygold treatments. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this study is to simulate fluid flow in a weir-type cascade solar still, assuming steady-state and air being the ideal gas and incompressible. The commercial software FLUENT is used for numerical simulation of the process. SIMPLE algorithm is used to calculate the relationship between pressure and velocity. In addition, first order upwind method is applied for separation of displacement and interpolation of pressure. Numerical simulations are performed for Solar Still with four to ten and also with twelve steps. Results of investigations on a Solar Still with different number of steps, in which the height of the steps is constant value of 2 cm, show that increasing the number of steps causes to increase water production up to eight steps. Furthermore, the highest rate of water production was 232 ml/m3hr for solar still with eight steps. Manuscript profile

        The purpose The purpose of this study is to simulate fluid flow in a weir-type cascade solar still, assuming steady-state and air being the ideal gas and incompressible. The commercial software FLUENT is used for numerical simulation of the process. SIMPLE algorithm is used to calculate the relationship between pressure and velocity. In addition, first order upwind method is applied for separation of displacement and interpolation of pressure. The effective parameters on unit productivity are the distance between glass surface and water, height of solar still, the number of vortexes and convective heat transfer coefficient. Results of investigations on a Solar Still with different height of steps, indicated that the productivity increases with increasing the height of stairs. Although, it should be noted that in each model with specific number of stairs there is an upward-downward trend; in other words, there is an optimum point in each model with specific number of stairs. Also, the still in the specific model of six-stairs with the height of 3.5 cm of stairs had maximum productivity. Manuscript profile

        AbstractThe industry sector is one of the most important and influential sectors in the economy ofany country. Information and communication technology can be effective on all types ofproductivity in industries through infrastructure channels. Iran, as a developing country,seeks to improve productivity due to its special conditions. In industries, in order to uselimited resources more and more efficiently, so that by increasing its competitive power,it can be successful in competing with global markets and international arenas. Therefore,the purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of information and communicationtechnology on the productivity of all production factors.capital productivity and laborproductivity in factory industries of Zanjan and Qazvin provinces This research in termsof its practical purpose and its time period includes the years 2006-2016. The statisticalpopulation also includes factory industries with 10 workers and above in the two provincesof Zanjan and Qazvin. The relevant data is based on the latest published information ofthe four-digit isic codes of the industries. Factories with 10 or more workers in twoprovinces have been collected from the Iranian Statistics Center. The research hypotheseswere tested through panel data using the Cobb-Douglas production function and estimatedby Ols method by Eviews econometrics software. The results of this study show that Fawadoes not have a significant effect on capital productivity and labor productivity in twoprovinces, but it shows a negative and significant effect on the total productivity ofproduction factors in two provinces. Therefore, in order to increase the level of productionand improve productivity, different industries should include in their long-term plan bypreparing the necessary infrastructure for the introduction of technology suitable for theconditions and structure of the industry and providing new courses to prepare thespecialized workforce with new technologies.

        In order to obtain an optimum economical system in our country, there is a call to choose the shortest and fastest path for achieving the goal. The system can only achieve this goal, when it could obtain the best and maximum outputs by spending the least inputs. Hence, there is only one way ahead, which is the way of productivity. Among different areas of productivities, human resource productivity plays one of the most significant roles in the whole system productivity because the human resource is the provider of the capital. Hence, the lack of human resources reflects itself as capital demand and economical dependency. The present paper, based on the investigation carried out on the country industry and by considering the impact of computer on the level of human resource productivity in the administrative section, has been attempted to determine the drawbacks of the system. In order to successfully determine the drawbacks, the parameters such as the conditions of securing a job vacancy regarding to the level of computer literacy of the personnel, the speed of fulfilling a task using computers and the condition of the job, the security of computer utilization, the level of output yield from investing in computer utilization and the level of satisfaction from computer utilization, has been taken into account. The mentioned parameters have been ranked according to their maladjustment with computer utilization, from personnel and managers point of view. Consequently, in order to remove these drawbacks and increase human resource productivity, some solutions are presented. For conducting this research, several automobile industries as the investigating cases have been chosen randomly. The final analysis by information collection and data statistical surveys has been carried out and then the outcomes are presented. Manuscript profile

        Road construction machinery has considerable importance in construction projects. Among the issues related to machinery, maintenance and repair are very important because maintenance and repairs (machines) are directly related to their costs as well as the overall cost of the project. The repair method after the failure is replaced by other maintenance and repair methods that are currently used in many organizations. Reliable Maintenance and Maintenance (RCM) is a process that determines the maintenance and repair needs of equipment and machinery in working conditions so that each of this equipment performs its core tasks in the best possible manner. Instead of concentrating on cost reduction, this method focuses on increasing reliability, which means that costs have been reduced by improving reliability. Reducing maintenance costs is a good and timely maintenance. In this study, a case study of this method has been carried out during a one-year period at Jahad Nasr Sirjan Company and compared with a sample of Sarcheshme Copper Company, which would be acceptable.

        Today, intercropping as a key strategy of sustainable agriculture, is appreciated by both researchers and farmers in increasing efficiency of environmental resourceing uses, reduce damages due to environmental stresses, and improve the farm income. To this end, a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted at the Research Farm of Gonabad University.Main factor, comprised of  25% safflower + 75% chickpea, 50% safflower + 50% chickpea, 75% safflower + 25% chickpea, and 100% safflower + 100% chickpea intercropping patterns, and sole cropping of the two plants. Subfactors consisted of control (without foliar spray) and foliar spraying of 3 g.lit-1 Fe and Zn. The research results showed that the highest values of branches number (10.5) and head number per plant (22.5) of safflower were achieved from 25% safflower + 75% chickpea and 50% safflower + 50% chickpea intercropping, respectively and the highest seed yield (2070 kg.ha-1) from sole cropping. The branch and head number per plant, 1000-seed weight, and seed yield of safflower were increased significantly due to micronutrient foliar application as compared with control. The plant height (26.4 cm) and seed yield (1739 kg.ha-1) of chickpea showed the highest value in sole cropping while the highest values of pod number per plant (31.9) and seed number per plant (22.2) were obtained from 25% safflower + 75% chickpea intercropping. Micronutrients foliar application improved plant height, pod number per plant, pod length, and seed number per plant of chickpea. The land equivalent ratio values ranged from 1.12 to 1.52. The changes in water use efficiency indices were also higher in all intercropping patterns compared with sole cropping, and the highest value (1.31) was achieved from 75% safflower + 25% chickpea intercropping treatment. The aggressivity index indicated the dominance of safflower over chickpea. All of the intercropping treatments, except for 100% safflower + 100% chickpea pattern, showed real yield increase. The highest value of intercropping advantage (0.51) was obtained from 25% safflower + 75% chickpea treatment while the monetary advantage index (26454751) and the relative total value (1.44) were higher in 100% safflower + 100% chickpea intercropping as compared to the other cropping patterns.

        Arid and semiarid climate in many parts of Iran dictates the employment of agronomic practices. With this approach, a statistical experiment was set up in split-plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates during 2015 and 2016 cropping seasons. The experiment took place in College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Tehran. Experimental treatments scheduled on three planting dates: (21st April, 11th May and 31th May) and four irrigation regimes: I100: 100%ETc, I80: 80%ETc, I60: 60%ETc and I40: 40%ETc, based on plant water need. The highest value of water productivity of economical yield (1.19 kg.m-3) and the greatest value of water productivity of biological yield (1.03 kg.m-3) obtained in early-planting date in both years, respectively. Path analysis showed that ear weight with direct effect (1.27) and water productivity of biological yield (0.973), positively contributed to the final yield determination under irrigation regimes I100 and I60, respectively. According to principal component analysis (PCA), the variables such as grain yield, ear weight, biological yield, total number of grain, kernel weight and harvest index as agronomic traits in PC1 and water productivity of economical yield and biological yield as physiological traits in PC2 were accounted for 70% of the final yield variations in total. Due to interactions of planting date and irrigation level on the grain yield (p ≤ 0.01), early planting of grain maize and deficit irrigation management as early season strategies will have great potential to achieve optimal yield and higher water productivity by mitigating early abiotic factors.

        The study of the relationship between wage and macro variables of productivity and unemployment, as the link in employment economy, is of particular importance in the economy of Iran. The present study was conducted with the aim of offering a dynamic pattern for examining the effects of productivity, unemployment, training, and inflation on wage rate between 1971 and 2016. To this end, the ARDL Dynamic Model, along with short-term and long-term methods and error correction model, was employed. The results of estimating the research model indicated both short-term and long-term relationships among the research variables. Moreover, inflation rate, productivity and training were found to be positively and significantly correlated in such a way that an increase in training and productivity was found to promote a parallel raise the work force rage. However, unemployment was found to have a negative effect on the rate of workforce wage. Besides, the obtained results of the error correction model used to analyze short-term and long-term relationship indicated an error correction coefficient of-0.30. In addition, the current difference of wage rate in the short run was found to be significantly affected by the current difference between productivity of the workforce and the inflation rate but not by the current difference of training. Finally, the current difference of wage rate was found to be negatively and significantly affected in the short run by the current difference of unemployment rate. Manuscript profile

        An important issue in the supply chain concerns minimizing response time for the delivery of goods to the final destination, which can be achieved through selecting the correct route.  The optimal path connecting the origin and destination nodes through the least intermediate nodes is called the shortest path. The shortest path in supply chain networks considered in this paper concerns the problem of sending an order from an original node to a destination node on a network which lacks a perfect and permanent fixed structure. The queuing theory measures were employed in the present enquiry to find out the shortest path. Initially, the supply chain and queuing network were concisely introduced and then, the two-input and three-stage supply chain of Balan Sanaat Company was displayed. Each input order to the supply chain is represented by two stochastic variables including the occurrence time and the number of commodities to be delivered. Further, the measures of the performance and productivity measures were extracted via the queuing network approach to serve the purpose of the study which was to compute the minimum response time for the delivery of items to the final destination along the three-stage network. The average number of items that can be delivered during this minimum response time constitutes the optimum capacity of the queuing network. At each stage of the queuing network, decisions regarding the most appropriate delivery route to the next node in the shortest possible time is made right at the preceding delivery node.

        The present study aimed at opening up the black box on how high-performance work systems affect labor productivity by investigating the mediating role of social capital and knowledge exchange and combination. The statistical population consisted of managers and employees of professional services companies in Tehran metropolis in 2018. To collect the data, 800 standard questionnaires were distributed directly or via email among the sample who were recruited through random sampling, out of which 461 completed questionnaires (57.6%) were received. After confirming the validity and reliability of the collected data, the research hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation modeling using SPSS and SmartPLS2 softwares. The findings show that a high-performance work system has a positive effect on labor productivity. In addition, the mediating roles of social capital (with the impact intensity of 0.48) and knowledge exchange (with the impact intensity of 0.22) in the relationship between high performance work systems and labor productivity were confirmed. It can also be argued that social capital has a positive and significant effect on the development of the process capabilities of knowledge exchange and combination in the organizations studied.

        Capital productivity concerns the measurement of management power in making optimal use of capital as one of the important and limited company resources. In companies with highly efficient capital productivity, stocks are expected to offer higher returns and the explanatory power of the models proposed to predict stock returns is assumed to increase. The purpose of this study was, thus, to examine the extent to which capital productivity might influence the explanatory power of stock market predictive models and to scrutinize this viable effect at various stages of corporate life cycle. The Operating Profit Ratio (ROIC) was used to operationalize Capital productivity, the Tripartite Factor Model (Fama & Franch, 1993) and the Pentagonal Factor Model (Fama & Franch, 2013) were employed to predict stock returns and corporate life cycle was categorized via the Dickinson Cash Flow (2011). The research sample comprised 110 companies with specific descriptive characteristics selected from among all those listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during a ten-year period from 2005 to 1394. The results of the hypothesis testing analyses demonstrated that capital productivity affects the relationship between market factor and risk-free growth at all stages of the life cycle, but size was found significantly correlated with risk merely at the maturity stage of the life cycle.

        The theory of tournament which seeks a way of enhancing labour motivation and promote their performance through structuring remunerations might be one of the most common strategies to promote employees’ effort and eliminate employers’ asymmetric learning. The structure of the reward is designed in such a way that upon observing the production level, the amount of reward is proportionate to varying amount of effort different laborers invest. The purpose of this research was to consider the extent to which the tournament theory might be employed to promote Iranian employees’ motivation and increase their performance, and thereby, that of national organizations. The research data were collected from a sample of employees at Kalleh Company in 2016. The research questions were answered using Multiperson Tournament with N employees and N reward. The findings indicated that keeping the reward constant, the tournament size could not significantly impact the effort level nor could the amount of reward. Hence, neither of these might be considered as motivation promoting devices to optimize performance. On the other hand, firms prefer larger tournaments with regard to the constant cost required for executing them. Manuscript profile

        The current empirical enquiry aimed to investigate the relationship among job rotation, musculoskeletal disorders and human resource productivity in Iran Carton Manufacturing Company and to detect any significant and interaction effect among the constructs. To this end, a sample of 116 laborers at Iran Carton Company was randomly selected to take part in the study. The research data collected from the sample were analyzed via ANOVA, Independent Samples T-test and Paired Samples T-test. The results revealed significant differences in the human resource productivity of the participants with and without job rotation practice. Similarly, significant differences were observed in risk levels of musculoskeletal disorders before and after job rotation. However, the difference in human productivity of laborers with varying risk levels of musculoskeletal disorders did not reach significance level. Moreover, the results indicated that risk level of musculoskeletal disorders did not mediate the relationship between job rotation practice and human resource productivity. Manuscript profile

        Intellectual capital refers to the body of knowledge, experience, and information that exists in an organization and is considered as intangible organizational assets and resources that can be converted to products, services, and processes to promote productivity and create values. The current applied, descriptive survey set out to investigate and analyze the main indicators and facets of intellectual capital assessment at university level through Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). The research data were gleaned using an interview and a questionnaire. First, the facets and indicators of intellectual capital were identified based on an extensive literature review and comparative content analyses of relevant existing studies as well as interviews with experts in the field who were selected via purposive sampling. Further, the relationships between the aspects and indicators of intellectual capital including human, structural and relational resources and indicators of intellectual capital assessment procedure at university were integratively determined and analyzed through ISM.  Finally, the main variables influencing other variables and influenced by them were identified via MICMAC analysis.  The findings identified the administration and students as independent variables with high levels of dependency and susceptibility that could be impacted by other mediating variables. Any improvement in intellectual capital at university level seem to be reliant on prerequisite modifications in these variables. Manuscript profile

        A significant amount of costs in the process of supply chain assessment and management is often overlooked when applying traditional ways of evaluation and supplier choice, and it is essential to provide a comprehensive approach that can take into account all costs associated with a service or product. To this end, the concept of "Total Cost of Ownership" is considered as an appropriate criterion for performance assessment and an optimal method for productivity enhancement. It is a philosophy and a purchase device that seeks to delineate the actual purchase cost of a product or a particular service from a specific, and thereby, enhance productivity by reducing viable costs of an investment or purchase. Therefore, the current study sought to explore multiple dimensions of total cost of ownership in selection and evaluation of organizational suppliers. It further aimed to present a mathematical model that can offer an indicator to evaluate the supplier's performance based on each aspect of total cost of ownership making it possible for organizational decision makers to compare each of their suppliers from different perspectives and choose the most efficient and suitable supplier while keeping the cost to an absolute minimum. The proposed index was finally described based on a sample from an automobile manufacturing company.   Manuscript profile

        Productivity can be studied from different dimensions such as energy efficiency, capital, manpower, equipment, etc. Productivity of human resources is one of its most important dimensions and the correct use of other resources also depends on its productivity. Identifying and describing productivity indicators in different dimensions is one of the basic steps of productivity management. This is especially important in scientific and technological organizations. In the current study, the statistical population includes managers and experts of scientific and technological organizations. In this article, the mentioned indicators, with a sample size of 350 were reviewed through a questionnaire using qualitative methods of content analysis and content analysis and confirmatory factor analysis using MAXQDA, SPSS and AMOS software. The results revealed five general indicators: "effective and efficient planning", "financial and technological factors", "motivation, commitment and teamwork spirit","competitiveness and development" and "knowledge, skills and system thinking" as the most important indicators of human resource productivity in scientific and technological organizations. The indicator of knowledge, skills and system thinking has the lowest coefficient and that of effective and efficient planning has the highest coefficient in the final model. Accordingly, to increase the productivity of their human resources, scientific and technological organizations should pay special attention to team building skills, development of decentralized decision processes, strengthening the spirit of participation along with factors such as improving the quality of equipment, technologies and financial issues.

        Nowadays, Premier organizations are trying to attract potential professional employees and concurrently retaining their human resources. Of course, a strong organizational identity can cause employees’ retention. In addition, various constituent elements of a strong employer brand can strongly impact organizational identity, and thereby, employees’ retention. Meanwhile, employer brand may have differential impacts on organizational identity across generation and owing to the variations in employees’ years of service, which may in turn change employees’ setting priority over selection of and staying at a given workplace. The current applied study intended to design an organizational identity model with an employer brand approach in Saipa Corporation based on Grounded Theory. The research data were gleaned through interviews, coded using open, axial and selective models and assessed and analyzed through Grounded Theory. A model was finally designed based on the effect of organizational identity on retention of employees which highlighted the fact that employer brand can enhance organizational identity through a number of strategies like job satisfaction, organizational commitment and productivity as well as some contextual factors and mediator conditions.

        The current applied, descriptive and correlational study was undertaken to investigate the extent to which neighborhood-oriented management can promote home business performance and productivity in 15 districts of Tehran, the metropolitan capital of Iran. The research population comprised 1500 employees in 15 districts out of whom a simple random sample of 750 was selected based on Morgan Table. The research data were collected using a researcher-made and piloted five-point Likert scale questionnaire comprising 4 factors and 32 items which tapped the participants’ responses. Having collected the research data, we initially calculated the descriptive statistics like absolute and the relative frequency, the mean, the standard deviation and the variance of background and main variables. Further, the data were analyzed inferentially via correlation, multiple regression and F-Test to verify the research hypotheses. The results confirmed the significant positive effect of neighborhood-oriented management on the promotion of home business performance and productivity in the metropolitan city of Tehran.   Manuscript profile

        Methods of clustering in data mining have dramatically developed in recent years as a result of the crucial need to categorize data leading to the expansion of data mining techniques and enhanced productivity of clustering methods in management and decision making. Whale optimization algorithm is a new stochastic global optimization method employed to resolve various problems. We already presented a data clustering method based on Whale optimization algorithm in which the initial solutions are randomly selected. What has made K-mean algorithm a highly popular clustering approaches appealing to many researchers is the simplicity and brevity of the stages involved in the process. The present enquiry aimed at employing K-mean algorithm to improve the capability of Whale optimization clustering and proposing the hybrid KWOA algorithm which can find more accurate clusters. The computational results of running the newly proposed algorithm, along with some well-known clustering algorithms, on real data sets from a well-known machine learning repository underscored the promising performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of the quality and standard deviation of the final solutions.  Manuscript profile

        Productivity means maximizing scientifically the use of resources, manpower, facilities, and the like, reducing production costs, expanding markets, increasing employment and striving to increase real wages and living standards as they benefit workers, management, and society. Due to limited resources and unlimited needs, improving productivity, along with population growth and fierce competition in the global economy, is not a choice but an inevitable necessity. The present study set out to investigate the effect of economic variables on the total productivity index in Iran over the period of 1999 to 2017, employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method. The findings indicated the significant positive effect of Qarz al-Hasna facility balance, exchange contract facility balance and partnership contracts facility balance as the components of Islamic banking facilities on the Total Productivity Index. Accordingly, it can be concluded that Islamic banking facilities have a positive effect on the Total Productivity Index in Iran, both in the short and long term. In the short and long term, real GDP (economic growth) was found to have a positive effect on the Total Productivity Index. The effect of inflation and the official exchange rate on the total Productivity Index was negative and statistically significant in the short run, after one year, and in the long run.

        The current study was an attempt to present a model of human resource planning in the public sector with a focus on the efficiency and organizational productivity. The research population included the experts and managers of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance in Fars province. In this research, all 100 senior managers in the population were considered as the sample of the study since the whole population had a limited number of members, and thus, total population sampling was employed. Due to the lack of information on human resource management as well as the nature of management research, the target population had to be recruited from among the managers and experts of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Fars province, which justifies the statistical number of the population in this study. In order to identify the factors influencing human resource planning, library and Delphi techniques were utilized. The18 identified factors were evaluated considering 59 items. In the exploratory factor analysis, these 18 factors were classified into three groups of occupational factors, organizational factors, and individual factors. Moreover, conducting confirmatory factor analysis, the researchers examined the items, and the sub- and main factors. Manuscript profile

        The knowledge-based economy and the widespread emergence of knowledge-based companies as well as the creation of knowledge-based values and the importance of the knowledge worker in organizations have attracted the governments’ attention which in turn has lead to new styles of leadership and management be tailored to the specific conditions of these companies. In the leadership literature, corresponding to the knowledge worker who wants a degree of independence and works in environments with high complexity and task interdependence, shared leadership has been suggested as a predictor of enhancing individual performance, team effectiveness and increasing productivity in organizations. Hence, the present study was conducted to investigate the consequences of shared leadership in knowledge-based companies and to determine the variables affecting the implementation of this leadership style in knowledge-based companies. This descriptive research was developmental and applied in terms of purpose and had an exploratory mixed method design. The statistical population of the study consisted of the managers and employees of knowledge-based companies in the field of information and communication technology. In the qualitative part, sampling was performed in a purposeful and judgmental manner and the sample size was determined based on theoretical saturation. In the quantitative part, sampling was done through convenience sampling procedure. During 18 interviews, the outcomes of organizational leadership, at the individual level, were found to be increasing motivation, organizational commitment, job satisfaction and skill development, at the group and team level, group cohesion, team empowerment and group identity, and at the organizational level, productivity, organizational learning and innovation were identified. Moreover, knowledge sharing was identified as a mediating variable. These findings were also confirmed by the data obtained from 127 electronic questionnaires using the partial least squares (PLS) technique for analysis. Manuscript profile

        The Asian Productivity Organization (APO) reports a one percent increase in Iran's Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index when compared to the majority of Asian countries and some reference countries in the long-term horizon of 50 years. In fact, the growth of labor productivity between 2010 and 2019 was less than all Asian countries. The present study was conducted with the aim of presenting a productivity pattern based on social capital.  Using the meta-synthesis approach and MaxQDA software, and after selecting 79 studies from among 580 previous studies, the dimensions, components and indicators of the model were extracted and identified. Based on the research findings, 9 dimensions, 24 main categories and 163 sub-categories (code)were identified. The nine dimensions are trust building, communication management, learning and growth, cultural factors, facilitator strategies, organizational factors, human resources, achieving sustainable development and profitability. The results of the emphasis of the previous research on each of the main categories using Shannon entropy technique and Excel software showed that growth and maturity and economic programs are the most important and the least important categories among the 24 categories, respectively. It is suggested that all managers update the human capital management process in accordance with the social capital based productivity pattern by hiring expert consultants and creating a special office for productivity management. Then, while periodically evaluating productivity based on the proposed pattern, all payments, bonuses and promotions of employees and managers should be base on the amount of their effort and participation in order to increase social capital and productivity.

        Knowledge transfer between university and industry is an important driver in innovation and economic growth. The purpose of this study was to design a model for improving productivity in wood industry focusing on the commercialization of university knowledge and ideas. This research was developmental-applicative, a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) study with a combined exploratory-sequential design. The target community of the research was experts who were aware of the research topic. In order to conduct in-depth interviews and collect qualitative data, from the targeted snowball technique to the theoretical saturation stage, 17 people were selected as a sample and in order to complete the researcher-made questionnaires in the quantitative section, a sample of five people was suggested. The validity of the qualitative data of the research was confirmed through continuous observation and review by a colleague and the reliability of these data was estimated to be 89% using the two-coder index method. The validity of the quantitative data was found to be 80% by using the Lawshe content validity ratio and their reliability was 86% using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Conducting the thematic analysis method based on the model of Braun and Clark (2006), the effective indicators of improving productivity with a commercialization approach toward university knowledge and ideas were identified and then modeling was done using structural-interpretive analysis (ISM). Based on the results of the research, 114 primary concepts were identified including 20 sub-themes and 13 main themes. These indicators were at six levels of the structural-interpretive model consisting of the index of strategic plans at the sixth level, the structure and support management at the fifth level, the development of interaction at the fourth level, the improvement of the educational system, the development of infrastructure and the personal characteristics at the third level, the indicators of modeling, industrialization, motivation, human resources, and attracting the private sector at the second level, and the marketing index was at the first level. Therefore, managers and policy makers need to understand the nature and relationships among the identified indicators in wood industry and apply the necessary measures in this field in order to improve productivity in industries with a commercializing approach toward university knowledge and ideas.

        The main objective of the current study was studying the relationship betweenThe quality of work life, psychological empowerment and the interactive effect of demographic variables on staff productivity of Zahedan Municipality. The research population was 257 staff members of the central municipality of Districts 1, 2 and 3 of Zahedan. By using Krejcie and Morgan (1971) sample size determining tables, a sample size of 155 people was calculated. The sampling method was random stratified sampling. For collecting data, Walton (1973) quality of work life, Spreitzer (1996) psychological empowerment and Hersey and Goldsmith (1980) productivity questionnaires were used. The data of the questionnaires were analyzed in descriptive and inferential statistics level comprising Pearson correlation coefficient test, step by step regression, simultaneous regression, multivariate analysis of variance and through Spss 16.5 software. The findings indicate that there is a positive and significant correlation among all aspects of quality of work life and psychological empowerment with staff productivity. In the step by step regression, the dimension of growth opportunity and continuous security as well as the dimension of influence had the best capacity to predict productivity. Among the demographic variables, only gender interaction × work experience and age interaction × gender have led to the difference in the average scores of the staff in productivity.

        Nowadays, the entrepreneurship is the least necessity needed for a country to increase its ability to compete effectively with other countries. Along with globalization, all the countries in order to have an effective competition should move forward to the new technologies and innovation. In this regard the Vector auto-regressive (VAR) with the help of (Eviews8) software was used. To investigate the causal relationship between the variables, the parallel Granger causality test was used. The obtained results showed that there was a causal relationship between the labor Force productivity and entrepreneurship. The result of stimulation reaction indicated that the variables have the most effects on their past values. At the end of shock period, the most effect was on net capital and entrepreneurship logarithms respectively. The results of variance analysis of prediction error also showed that the fluctuations of entrepreneurship in the short term are mainly as high as 99.5 percent. Then in the fifth period, the share of the remaining variables reaches about 42 percent and the logarithm of net capital and logarithm of labor productivity respectively have the highest and the lowest shares in explaining this variable.

        Nowdays, a great number of organizations with small and medium dimensions are active in the industry that manufactures oil company’s parts and has significant effects on financial growth and job creation in national arena. According to full-competitive atmosphere resulting from the number of these companies and lack of production process complexity of these parts in mass production, these organizations, in order to countinue their life in full-competitive atmosphere of mentioned industry, requires gaining desirable conditions and acceration of their production efficiency, because presence of different rivals, being production-oriented and copious problems of production process, will subject them to damages. It seems a practical model to deal with these obstacles. In this paper for identifying the influential indexes on efficiency of manufacturing required parts in oil industry and presenting an applied model for reaching a desired level of it, four small and medium organizations, with peronnel less than 150 employees, were studied, and subsequently for increasing the production’s efficiency, 16 indexes were identified and surveyed in 5 dimensions. Relations between these indexes are identified based on Interpretative Structural Model and a novel model was edited and represented systematically. The result indicated the importance of obtaining striking certification and standards related to the industry and their periodic monitoring, in the secondary step will be to educate key personnel and improve raw materials used to produce more.

Analyzing the data from a survey among 217 Teleworkers in the Ministry of Cooperation, Labour and Social Welfare shows that various activities of human resources in accordance with telework arrangements have significantly improved the job productivity of teleworkers. Results of testing the hypotheses by structural equation modeling indicate that voluntary selection, job involvement, output-based control, electronic monitoring, variable pay and social protection have a positive impact on the job productivity of teleworkers. However, the research data do not confirm the influence of cooperative learning and behavioral training. Based on these findings, the paper emphasizes that managerial contingencies in the field of human resources are critical and in this way policy makers and practitioners should consider them for the successful implementation of telework arrangements Manuscript profile

        Productivity is one of the main factors in assessing the optimal use of data in industrial production. By evaluation and comparison of productivity in different organizations and industries, a proper planning can be presented to improve the industry and development of the country. For this purpose, we tried to analyze the indicators of productivity in manufacturing industries by using PROMETHEE technique in a five-year period. In this regard, we assessed six factors: Labor Productivity, Capital Productivity, Energy Productivity, Total Factor Productivity, per capita Sales, Net profit margin in five industries: automotive, steel, mining, petrochemicals, and basic metals. The results indicate a more favorable situation in the steel industry. Also, in 2012 the highest level of productivity in all manufacturing industries was achieved and its lowest value was observed in 2010.  Manuscript profile

        In this investigation, some of the variables effective on the productivity ofcustomer-contact employees affecting customer perception of perceived servicequality as well as the relations among the responses have been tested in the formof a conceptual model. In other words, the role of three major personalcharacteristics of employees ( self-efficacy, adaptability and job satisfaction), asa bridge between the employee's job characteristics (role conflict and roleambiguity) and customer perceived service quality have been investigated.Inorder to collect data through using census, the relevant questionnaires weredistributed among the members of the first statistical population ( the employeesof private banks in Khuzestan Province totaling 94 people). In this way, 94customer questionnaires were specialized to the banks by stratified sampling ;then, the bank questionnaires were distributed among their customers by randomsampling .The results of the structural equations analysis indicated that with dueattention to obtained goodness of fit index, the supposed model has been welldesigned.With due attention to the coefficients obtained from the model test, the12 suggested hypotheses can be accepted or rejected. As predicted, employee'sself-efficacy and job satisfaction have a positive structural effect on customerperceived service quality. Employee's self-efficacy positively affects employee'sadaptability with the customer. Contrary to all expectations, the results indicatedthat employee's adaptability negatively influences customer perceived servicequality. And as predicted, it was proved that the employee’s role conflict androle ambiguity have a negative structural effect on employee's adaptability andself-efficacy. Also, employee's role conflict positively affects employee’s roleambiguity. Finally, the results indicated that employee’s role ambiguity has alimited positive effect on employee's job satisfaction. It is worthy of mentionthat because the relevant coefficients were too small, it is difficult to make acomment on employee's role conflict and self efficacy effects on jobsatisfaction Manuscript profile

        Research and development (R&D) is a suitable strategy for increasing agricultural production and supply and alleviating poverty and food shortages. Research and development affects agricultural productivity and production in several ways. Spillovers of research and development from other sectors and foreign countries has an important role in increasing agricultural productivity. In this study, by using OLS and Almon distribution lag model, agricultural research and development policy and spillovers for the years 1959-2012 are evaluated .The results indicate that agricultural research and development elasticity is 0.311, other sectors research and development elasticity is 0.109, capital input import elasticity is 0.057 and intermediate input import is 0.046. So, supply of agricultural research and development parameter is 0.193, supply of other sectors research and development parameter is 0.068, supply of imported research and development (capital input) parameter is 0.035 and supply of imported (intermediate input) research and development parameter is 0.029.Therefore, agricultural research has more impact than other sectors research (spillovers) on agricultural productivity.

        Unemployment is classified as one of the most serious obstacles to economic and social progress. So to avoid the negative effects of unemployment, reducing the rate of unemployment should be considered as one of the leading development goals in developing countries. One characteristic of developing countries is the low rate of productivity growth, and the increase in productivity is the result of reducing the use of resources, reducing   costs, using better methods of production or improving the ability of production factors, especially the labor-force. So, the Objective of this research is to study the effect of productivity of labor-force on unemployment in Iran from 1978 to 2010. For the theoretical analysis of the topic, ordinary least squares method was used, and the data were collected by the annual time series coefficients data. The research results of this method indicate that the impact of all variable coefficients has been expected based on the theoretical frame work, the coefficients for all variables are significant, and productivity of labor has a negative effect on unemployment.

        This paper aims to identify the barriers of improving the productivity in public sector. According to the theoretical studies and the interviews with several senior managers of public sector, 28 items were detected as the obstacles of improving the productivity in public sector. These items were classified under three categories of environmental, organizational and individual barriers based on Ammons’ studies. Then a questionnaire was developed in order to reveal the views of managers in public sector about the influence of each item on productivity. The findings show that the public sector is faced with numerous barriers in improving productivity, a major part of which is related to personality, attitude and leadership skills of the public sector managers. The other part of it relates to the internal and environmental problems such as lack of a proper appraisal system, tendency to keep the status quo and extreme conservatism, lack of accountability system, lack of cost accounting systems, the political pressures that influence decisions, low importance of the issue of productivity compared with the political interests, shortage of analyst staff, lack of competitive market pressures, and the complex process of bureaucracy.

        The results of economic experiments in the world show that if any country wants to be a pioneer in economy and not to lag behind in the competition, it has to have experienced, skillful, motivated, innovative and creative manpower. We wouldn’t expect any improvement in productivity if we couldn’t meet welfare and living needs of the personnel and if we couldn’t attain a competency- oriented system, equity and justice through comprehensive performance evaluation system. The term "quality of work life" has repeatedly been used as a criterion of human experience quality at work. Managers increasingly expect that the productivity of an organization should create facilities which maintain employees' quality of work life. The concept of quality of work life indicates the importance of people at work and the respect for them.                                                                           In this paper the relationship between productivity and quality of work life has been evaluated. These two terms are part of the seven overall performance measurement criteria for any organization that needs to assess and measure. Initially, some definitions have been presented about productivity and the quality of work life, and then the correlation of them has been evaluated using a case study on a manufacturing firm. The results of this study show the meaningful relation between the overall productivity, labor productivity and the quality of work life in the firm under study and demonstrate the amount of correlation between them.

        Wage and labor productivity are two key variables of labor market and are of interest to the economics connoisseurs on two levels – micro and macro – from the viewpoint of economic logic and policy-making. These two variables are related, on the one hand, to the efficacy of the economic secrots’ decisions and on the other, to the economic growth, development, and welfare. The purpose of the present research is to investigate the impressibility of wages from the labor productivity in Iran during the period from 1978 to 2012. For the theoretical analysis of the subject, Johansen - Juselius method has been used. The results obtained from the research indicate that the impact of the variable coefficients accorded with the theoretical foundations and were statistically significant. The results show that the increase in each variable – average productivity of labor, minimum wage, educational level of the labor force, and the rate of labor force employment – causes the increase in average wage. Also, the results of vector error correction model indicate that in each period, 0.79 of short run imbalances are adjusted to achieve long run balance. Manuscript profile

        Productivity forecasting is a key factor in strategy planning in an organization. Artificial neural networks method is one of the productivity estimating methods whose users must have enough experience and skill because of its adjustable parameters. Trial and Error is mostly used to find the proper levels of these parameters. This article presents a seven step pattern for selecting proper adjustable parameters for neural network, using Taguchi experiment design method to improve the efficiency of productivity forecasting. As a result, the optimum parameters levels that lead to the most desirable forecasting in neural network are as follows: the number of hidden layers: 2 layers, the number of neurons in each hidden layer: 7 neurons, learning rate: 0.9 and the number of neural network inputs:  productivity indicators with more than 0.85 degree of correlation. Among the above mentioned factors, the number of hidden layers with 71.18% of contribution rate in experiment results is the most important factor in neural network design to forecast the productivity of Iranian food industry. Finally, the overall results of the study showed that using this pattern provides the possibility of choosing competitive strategies besides decreasing forecasting time and cost. Moreover, this pattern helps decision makers with the extent of the consideration that must be put into each adjustable parameter by determining the contribution rate of each parameter in the experiment results.

        One of the basic issues in the field of development is rational utilization of the abilities and talents of the manpower in the community. Increasing productivity is the only way that will promote the economic development and welfare of a nation. The miraculous changes in short-term economic growth and development in many countries are the result of increased productivity and the optimum, efficient and effective use of human and physical resources they have. In this regard, this study tries to investigate the effects of the Human Development Index on labor productivity in 32 selected OECD countries by using panel data model in the period 2002-2009. The results show that Human Development Index had a significant and positive effect on labor productivity in the countries studied. Also, openness, value added production, health expenditures and physical capital have positive and significant effects on labor productivity.   Manuscript profile

        In the third millennium, higher education is moving from a single-function and single-institution entity toward the multi-function and multi-dimensional one. Therefore, it is confronting new challenges. The best possible safeguard against these challenges is quality. Thus, total quality management (TQM), with its considerable results in industry and business, is now entering the higher education system. Educational and research quality is one of the concerns of higher education systems, and universities have always struggled to attain it. The constant promotion of higher education quality requires educational assessment. During the past two decades noticeable attempts have been made in many countries to enhance higher education quality and to attain the objectives of higher education systems. The main objective of the present research is to determine the rate of university chancellors’ readiness to establish comprehensive quality and productivity management. In this study, the six principles of commitment, customer orientation, realism, collaboration, training, and continuous improvement have been considered as the TQM principles. The statistical population consisted of all the personnel of Islamic Azad University, Zanjan Branch, from among whom 111people were selected as the research sample through the use of random sampling method. For data analysis, Spss software was used, and the data were analyzed both descriptively and inferentially. The results indicated that the readiness of the personnel of the university under study to establish total quality management is not at a desirable level. Manuscript profile

        In most of the international conferences about productivity, it has been stated that the level of productivity, particularly that of human resources, is low in various economic parts of the developing countries. The issue of increasing population is also another factor. Almost all of the connoisseurs and top managers of the world’s industries, in justifying the importance of the role of the people compared with capital and technology, claim that there are three important factors in increasing productivity, and human being is the most important factor, so in top-industrialized communities, the purpose and the kind of culture are based upon QWL and human relationships, respectively. They believe that capital and technology can be provided as a loan and by purchase, but we can neither borrow human beings nor buy them. Human beings should be trained as the main capitals of the developing countries, and they should be motivated. Therefore, in this paper, the authors have tried to survey the mutual relationship between productivity and the quality of work life in human resources. They have concluded that by increasing the quality of work life, the productivity also increases. Manuscript profile

        Productivity refers to attainment of better outcomes proportionate to workload, thoughts, time, nature, assets and capital. Productivity management is a common human experience allusion to which has been maintained in literary heritage. Saadi´s Golesta, as a literary masterpiece contains references to some methods and constituents of productivity. The purpose of this study was to explore productivity constituents in Saadi's Golestan and to examine the extent to which they apply to the status quo in modern management. The research data in this mixed method content analysis qualitative and quantitative study were collected based on review of library documents that were descriptively and analytically reviewed to find out references to constituents of productivity. Further, the extracted constituents were designed as factors in a researcher-made questionnaire the reliability and validity of which was verified statistically. Next, the questionnaire was administered to a research sample of 300 managers that had been randomly recruited from a population of all managers of manufacturing companies in the province of East Azarbaijan based on the Krejcy and Morgan Tables. The results of this study indicate that all factors extracted from Sa'di Golestan's text were regarded by managers of manufacturing companies as factors affecting productivity. The Regression and Correlational analyses also revealed that the selected productivity constituents were positively correlated with productivity. Finally, the Freedman Test revealed that human resources, management of human sources, priority of human knowledge, knowledge and action, learning determination, significance of instruction, economic management, time management and discourse management were respectively identified as the ten significant factors affecting productivity. That is to say, in Saadi Golestan management of human, natural and scientific resources are presented as the elements of productivity. Manuscript profile

        Capital productivity concerns the measurement of managerial capacity to make optimal use of capital as one of the company's most important and restricted resources and accounting conservatism is one of the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. More conservative companies are expected to have lower cost of capital and the increase in capital productivity is assumed to intensify this relationship. The present study explored the interactive effect of capital productivity and accounting conservatism on cost of capital in Tehran and Istanbul stock exchange markets. Accounting conservatism was measured as the chronological asymmetry between the profit and relative market value of stock to book value while capital productivity was operationalized in terms of the ratio of operating profit to the difference between total equity and debt in cash and short-term investment. The research sample comprised 118 companies listed in Tehran and 194 companies listed in Istanbul stock exchange markets over a period of 10 years from 2006 to 2015. The findings revealed that accounting conservatism, as the ratio of market to book value, was negatively correlated with cost of capital both in Tehran and Istanbul stock exchange markets; capital productivity was found to have a synergistic effect on this relationship. Additionally, accounting conservatism, as chronological asymmetry, was found to be negatively correlated with cost of capital in Istanbul stock exchange market. Manuscript profile

        Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) wasone of the mostpopularoptimization problems that hadmany usages for productivity andefficiency of transportation systems in recent decades.The VehicleRouting Problem with Simultaneous pick-up and deliveries (VRP/SPD),which considers simultaneous distribution and collection of goodsfrom/to customers (VRP/SDP/SDC) was a variant of the classical vehiclerouting problem where customers require simultaneous pick-up anddelivery at their locations to be completed within a specified time.Applications of the SPD and its related variants are commonly comeacross in every day transportation and optimizing logistic planning. Thispaper had used Meta-heuristic to this end. The proposed method wasapplied for solving capacitated vehicle routing problem (CVRP) toimprove the distribution efficiency and productivity with an objective ofminimizing the total distance covered in each route, while consideringthe capacity of different routes. This problemwas essentially an NP-Hardin nature, so there was no known optimal solution method withpolynomial time. To solve this NP-hard VRP a hybrid genetic basedalgorithm was developed. The proposed geneticalgorithm was tested onsome standardproblem with respect to computational efficiency andsolution quality. The presented method was implemented and itsperformance was further investigated by comparing it against existingheuristics for the same problem. Theresults showed that the success ofthe proposed approach in handling the difficult problem constraints anddevising simple and robust solution mechanisms that can be integratedwith routing optimization tools and used in real world applications.

The results showed that the nine sectors of the total economy and their productivity in the period 1353 - 1393 is between 3.175 to 4.59 million Rials; Therefore, the starting point of productivity is the lower limit of productivity of the performance range of 3.175. Also, in the sectors of economy, industry and mining, electricity (power plants) and construction, even with a 30% increase in the lower limit, the productivity of the whole economy is not in the operating range (3.175). Based on the results, it is suggested that planners, managers and economic policy makers increase the productivity of the industry and mining, power plant and construction sectors by more than 30% by changing the technology in order to achieve the appropriate amount of economic growth.

The purposes of this paper are evaluating the effect of capital income share change on economic growth, implementing the growth accounting approach to calculate total factor productivity (TFP) considering that capital income share to be changed; and finally, estimating the effect of capital income share and it’s variation on TFP growth.   For this reason, the data of value added, capital stock, and labor compensation with constant values at 2011 as well as labor forces data of manufacturing industries in 31 Iran’s provinces during 2000-2014 have been collected. Findings show that the capital income share variation had positive effect on income per capita in provinces ‘manufacturing industries with value 11.5 thousand Rials. The growth accounting results indicate that classic factors contribution (labor and capital stock) of economic growth was 11.4 and 200 percent, respectively. Moreover, capital income share variation and Zuleta TFP contribution of manufacturing industries economic growth are 30 and -141 percent, respectively. Finally, outcomes of panel least squares (PLS) estimation show that capital income share variation has significant and positive effect on TFP growth, but income share level doesn’t significant effect during the considered period. In fact, a one percent increase in capital income share will increase the TFP growth by approximately 2.6 percent; which these are due to variation of factor abundant ratio and biased technological change in provinces ‘manufacturing industries of Iran.        Manuscript profile

        In today's competitive markets, organizations must possess a high level of adaptability to gain a competitive edge. To explore the impact of a sustainable supply chain on sustainable competitive advantage, this study examined strategic flexibility and flexibility-productivity as mediating variables. The research focused specifically on the dairy industry in Fars province and involves industry experts from the domestic sector, selected through judgment sampling. Data was collected via a questionnaire, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed for analysis. The findings of the study indicated that the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of supply chain sustainability have a significant influence on product flexibility. Additionally, these dimensions have a notable impact on strategic flexibility, except for the social dimension's effect on production flexibility. Furthermore, both production and strategic flexibility positively and significantly contribute to the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage. In conclusion, this research highlighted the importance of a sustainable supply chain in attaining sustainable competitive advantage. The economic, environmental, and social dimensions play a crucial role in enhancing both product and strategic flexibility. By embracing sustainable practices and fostering flexibility in production and strategy, organizations in the dairy industry can maintain a competitive advantage over time. Manuscript profile

        در این مقاله یک مدل تحلیل پوششی داده ها (DEA) به همراه Bootstrapping برای ارزیابی عملکرد یکی از الگوریتم های داده کاوی ارائه شده است. ما از یک فرایند دو مرحله ای برای تحلیل بهره وری عملکرد شعبه های بیمه در یک مطالعه موردی استفاده نمودیم. ابتدا، با استفاده از یک مدل DEA، در این مطالعه بهره وری هجده واحد تصمیم گیری (DMUها) مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفته است. با استفاده از یک شاخص مالم کوئیست، DEA نمرات بهره وری را مشخص می سازد، اما نمی تواند جزئیات عوامل مؤثر بر پسرفت و  پیشرفت بهره وری را ارائه کند. مدل پیشنهادی یک فناوری ورودی محور شعاعی با متغیر پنهان جدید را پیشنهاد کرده و همزمان ورودی ها و خروجی های غیرمطلوب را در یک برنامه نویسی خطی چند هدفه کاهش می دهد. از سوی دیگر، درخت طبقه بندی و رگرسیون به DMU اجازه می دهد تا قوانین را برای کشف و کاوش اطلاعات معنادار و پنهان از پایگاه های داده وسیع استخراج کند. نتایج یک سری قوانین را ارائه می کنند که سیاست گذاران می توانند برای کشف دلایل پیشرفت و پسرفت بهره وری های DMUها استفاده نمایند.

        Increasing water productivity in agriculture is one of the effective strategies for sustainability of water resources. In this research, irrigation management and water productivity in North Karkheh irrigation and drainage network were evaluated by examining the cropping pattern and the use of land use productivity indices, CPD, BPD and NBPD. The results of the study showed that the mean wheat cultivation in the 5 years period of study (2009-2013) increased by 132% compared to the designer's proposed cultivar, while the average barley yield decreased by 470% compared to the design pattern of the designer. Also, the cultivation of fodder plants such as alfalfa and clover has not been welcomed by farmers in the region. The average 5 years of cultivation at the network level was 5924 hectares and the average water consumption per year was 55.5 million cubic meters; if the water required for the designer crop pattern was an average of 86 million cubic meters per year For 6500 hectares. The five-year average CPD index for wheat, as the product with the highest cropping area, was 818 gm-cubic meters, and for spring crop watermelon, as the product that had the highest water intake among cropping patterns It was 2301 grams per cubic meter. The five-year average of BPD and NBPD for wheat was 5870 and 3018 Rials per cubic meter. Manuscript profile

        Extended AbstractIntroductionThe prosperity of cities was first presented in UN-Habitat report, 2013, as City Prosperity Index. The report is a response to the multi-dimensional crises occurred in the recent decades in the world. This report defined urban prosperity and examined some multi-dimensional indices for that. Instead of evaluation of the one-dimensional economic factors such as production and income, this report has a new approach to evaluation of infrastructures, equality, sustainability, and quality of life. Each dimension contributes to having a better understanding of the urban prosperity. The cities in Iran are also faced with rapid urban growth and unbalanced urban development. The prosperity index can help assess the development and find shortages to devise solutions. Given that any society is consisted of the unique cultures, believes, and characteristics of that society, development in any society appropriate to its own characteristics is different from any other societies. This research attempts to review the criteria and indices of the urban prosperity to explain the pattern in Tehran City and also develop the structure for this city. The purpose of this study also is to tailor the indices to urbanization condition in Iran, particularly metropolis of Tehran. MethodologyResult and Discussion Manuscript profile

        Mulberry (Morus spp.) is a perennial tree cultivated for its foliage to rear the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori L. Mulberry has improved through conventional breeding in general aims to improve the quantity and quality of leaf yield, which have direct bearing on silk productivity. Leaf senescence is one of the major constraints, which restricts the quantity of quality leaf availability for silkworm rearing. High yielding mulberry varieties often show leaf fall in the range of 20 – 33% in tropical sericultural belts. Hence, in order to increase the leaf availability, it is essential to delay the senescence of leaves. Keeping this in view, the present study was undertaken on 9 mulberry genotypes, which were developed systematically for delayed senescence. The interrelationship among factors that contribute to growth, yield and low foliar senescence were investigated. Correlation between agronomic traits and leaf yield revealed the existence of strong positive associations among plant height, total shoot length (TSL), nodal distance (ND), leaf fall (LF), number of leaves/ plant (NLP), fresh and dry weight of 100 leaves (FWL & DWL), leaf area (LA), leaf area index (LAI), above ground biomass (AGB) with leaf yield. However, leaf harvest index (LHI) had a strong negative correlation with leaf fall % and leaf yield. Significant improvement in the important growth and yield attributing charactersviz., FWL, DWL, LA, AGB, LHI and LAI contributed to a higher yield in CT44. Path co-efficient analysis revealed the direct positive effect of the characters viz., AGB (1.233), LHI (0.449), NLP (0.217), and LA (0.181), on leaf yield. From the studies it is concluded that low leaf fall coupled with high LHI can be considered for the selection of varieties with delayed leaf senescence in mulberry. Manuscript profile

        Organizations are equipped by their human resources and by the same human resources; Set goals will be achievable. Therefore, the human resources of the organization need more attention and development because human resources alone can increase efficiency and productivity. The research was done in two stages. In the first stage, which was done qualitatively. 18 interviews were conducted with experts. Then, the data were analyzed by content analysis method and based on this stage and the literature, the research model was designed and then a questionnaire including the basis of Likert spectrum and including individual, organizational and organizational productivity goals was prepared. In the second stage, 337 questionnaires were purposefully distributed among the employees of the National Iranian Gas Company, using SPSS and Smart Pls software and correlation test and implementation of structural equations were examined. According to the research findings, the individual and organizational dimensions have a positive and significant relationship with productivity. Therefore, in order to achieve organizational goals, individual performance and organizational performance should be given more attention. Based on the research results, suggestions were presented in both executive and research sections. The research results increase our knowledge in the field of individual factors and organizational factors and organizational goals. The study of research model in organizations and other departments with different statistical population is suggested to future researchers. The limitation of the statistical population to the National Iranian Gas Company is one of the limitations of the research that reduces its generalizability.   Manuscript profile

        The aim of this study is evaluation of effects of monitoring system and performance of staff productivity. This study is descriptive- survey and correlational. The sample size was determined by the Cochrane table. Statistical population of the study consisted of employees and managers Bank Sepah is in Fars province. Questionnaires were distributed to 249 of employees by random sampling method. We can infer from the research findings of the first hypothesis that the average of staff productivity has been more than average in the financial criterion and we can say that:” Monitoring system and evaluation of performance of staff productivity has a significant effect with taking advantage of the financial criterion strategies. The second hypothesis suggests that the average of staff performance is more than average in the internal process criterion and we can say:” Monitoring system and evaluation of performance of staff productivity has a significant effect with taking advantage of the internal process criterion strategies”. The third hypothesis suggests that the average of staff performance has been more than the average in the growth and learning criterion and we can say:” Monitoring system and evaluation of performance of staff productivity has a significant effect with taking advantage of the growth and learning criterion strategies”. The fourth hypothesis suggests that the average of staff performance has been more than average in the customers’ criterion and can be said:” Monitoring system and evaluation of performance of staff productivity has a significant effect with taking advantage of the customers’ criterion strategies”.   Manuscript profile

        حامل­ های انرژی یکی از مهم­ترین نهاده­ ها در بخش کشاورزی است. این نهاده ­ها پایه و اساس توسعه کشاورزی و انتقال بخش کشاورزی از مرحله سنتی به مرحله صنعتی بوده است. سرانه مصرف انرژی در بخش کشاورزی ایران 2/3 برابر بیشتر از میانگین جهانی است بنابراین صرفه­جویی و بهینه­سازی استفاده از آن ضروری است. آزادسازی قیمت مهم­ترین ابزار قیمت­ گذاری است. لذا در این پژوهش اثرات آزادسازی قیمت انرژی بر بهره­وری مصرف آن در بخش کشاورزی با استفاده از روش هم ­انباشتگی پنهان مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. نتایج نشان می ­دهد که بهره ­وری نهاده برق و فرآوده ­های نفتی در واکنش به تغییرات قیمت انرژی، رفتار نامتقارن را نشان می­دهد که میزان بهره ­وری انرژی برق را از 1145.04 واحد به 1254.32 واحد افزایش می­یابد. هم­چنین، هنگامی که قیمت فرآورده ­های نفتی افزایش می­یابد، بهره ­وری آن 22.18 واحد را نشان می­دهد. علاوه بر این، بهره ­وری فرآورده­های نفتی با افزایش قیمت­ها بهبود می­یابد. بنابراین، اصلاح قیمت در بخش حامل انرژی اجتناب­ناپذیر است. با توجه به اثر نامتقارن قیمت برق بر بهره­­وری آن، نوع اصلاح قیمت برق باید همراه با سیاست­های غیرقیمت در نظر گرفته شود. ابزار قیمت­ گذاری فقط باعث ایجاد انگیزه برای رشد بهره­ وری از طریق جایگزینی عوامل تولید می­شود. با توجه به این شرایط، انتظار نمی­رود الگوی مصرف انرژی اصلاح شود.

        خدمات ترویج کشاورزی جزو مهمترین خدمات روستایی در کشورهای درحال‌توسعه هستند. این خدمات ازجمله عوامل اصلی تغییر فناوری و رشد بهره‌وری کشاورزی به شمار می‌روند. در کنیا همچون بقیة اقتصادهای درحال‌توسعه، خدمات کشاورزی عمدتاً ازطریق رویکردهای مبتنی بر عرضه ارائه می‌شوند. با توجه به تأثیر به‌ظاهر اندک خدمات کشاورزی، این کشور در حال اجرای سیاست ملی ترویج (NEP) است که براساس ترویج مبتنی بر تقاضا و مشارکت سایر بازیگران استوار است. در این مقاله با تمرکز بر زیربخش تولید چای توسط کشاورزان خرده‌پا به بررسی اثر ترویج FFS بر عملکرد گیاه چای در کنیا می‌پردازیم. در نظام FFS از رویکردهای مشارکتی مانند نمایش بهترین شیوه‌های پایدار در مزارع و یادگیری عملی کشاورزان استفاده می‌شود. داده‌های مطالعه‌ای از نمونه‌ای متشکل از 525 خانوار کشاورز در غرب کنیا که ازطریق نمونه‌گیری تصادفی چندمرحله‌ای انتخاب شده بودند، جمع‌آوری شدند و با استفاده از مدل همسان‌سازی براساس نمرات گرایش (PSM) که درون‌زایی خودانتخابی را کنترل می‌کند، تحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که مشارکت در ترویج FFS باعث شد که عملکرد سالیانة چای به طور متوسط 70/471 کیلوگرم در ایکر افزایش یابد (p = 0.009) درحالی‌که نظام آموزشی و بازدید به هزینة خود کشاورز تأثیری بر عملکرد محصول نداشت. در کنار اینکه نشان می‌دهیم FSS در افزایش عملکرد گیاه نقش دارد، این مقاله نشان می‌دهد که مدل‌های ترویج مبتنی بر عرضه ازجمله T&V برای تشویق تقاضا در مراحل اولیة اجرای مدل‌های FFS ضروری‌اند. براساس یافته‌ها، توصیه می‌شود روی افزایش دسترسی FFS در میان کشاورزان خرده‌پا سرمایه‌گذاری بشود.

        The study investigates consumers’ preference for cowpea reflected in the Nigerian markets through price discounts and premiums that consumers pay for different cowpea characteristics. The price data used for this study were obtained through a market survey. A common data collection protocol was employed. Every month, between October 2009 to December 2010, five cowpea samples per seller were bought from randomly selected sellers in six markets and the prices noted. In the laboratory, the non-price data, such as, 100 grain weight, number of bruchid holes per 100 grains, eye colour and texture of the testa were obtained. A hedonic pricing regression model was used to analyze data collected. Hedonic pricing methods provide a statistical estimate of premiums and discounts. Results indicate that eye colour is the most important determinant of cowpea market prices. Cowpeas with brown colour commands a clear premium in all but one market. The consumers discount prices for insect damage in most markets. In general, this study signals the need for cowpea breeders to identify cost effective ways of breeding for brown coloured cowpea (Ife-brown specie) which was noted to attract price premium.Risk-averse farmers are prudent to use different inputs because every input has a distinct effect on output fluctuations and production risk as well. This paper examines the effect of input using growth on producer welfare of date farmers in Sistan and Baluchestan province which is the second greatest producer and exporter of date in Iran. It is well known that input using growth impresses both productivity and risk premium. These two factors contribute to producer welfare so that increasing the productivity will boost the welfare and an addition to risk premium shall detract the welfare of risk-averse farmers. Results showed that technical change has reduced both productivity and production risk in 2011/2012 and the welfare increased as 912727.21. But, in 2010/2011, productivity and risk premium had a positive growth and finally the producer's welfare experienced a reduction as 1041478.41. Manuscript profile

        In recent years, farming section of South Khorasan Province faces different limitations such as increasing shortage of water resources and continuous reduction of weather showers.Considering consecutive droughts and water crisis in agricultural plain of the province, it is necessary to use water resources optimally and increase productivity of water shortage input. Comparison of water productivity among the available utilization systems in agricultural section of the province can cause recognition of suitable and efficient utilization system for optimal use of water shortage input and increase water productivity in production of crops. In the present research, different indices of water productivity for production of crops in two small holding utilization system and Rural Production Cooperative in Khosef County have been calculated and compared. The required data have been collected with a sample of 247 farmers and with two-staged cluster sampling and with questionnaire. To calculate and compare water productivity, Benefit Per Drop, Crop Per Drop and Net Benefit Per Drop indices have been used. Results showed that the said indices were different for similar products in two utilization systems and in most crops, the said indices in rural production cooperative system were higher than small holding system. Therefore,gathering of smallholder’s farmers as rural production cooperative can lead to more desirable utilization of water resources and reduction of drought effects and water crisis.

        The issue of convergence or divergence of productivity has important policy for regional poverty reduction and increasing standards of living. If productivity converges to a common level without intervention, there is little need for explicit policies in lagging regions to promote catch up. On the other hand, productivity has divergence trend, then explicit policies would be needed to prevent further lagging of TFP and standard of living. Therefore, with regard to importance subject, this paper in finding out whether Iran and Eastern African countries in agriculture have managed to narrow their productivity gap? The results show that the range changes of average TFP growth lies between -4.9 percent in Rwanda countries and 1.1 percent in Iran and Somalia. The results of convergence test indicate that, from among 9 countries under consideration only five countries, be converging to the mean. Therefore, these countries managed to make better use of new available technologies, thus reaching far greater productivity levels than others. On the opposite, convergence can not be accepted for the rest countries. Manuscript profile

        The study of the effect of human capital promotion in terms of education on totalfactor productivity (TFP) is one of the important topics in the macroeconomicliterature and educational policy that has been considered by many economists inrecent years. Therefore, in the present study, quantitative and qualitative criteriawere selected and weighted by interacting by fifteen university professors in thefield of human capital. After constructing the aggregated indicators of quantity andquality of education, the relationship between these mentioned indicators on totalfactor productivity in the non-oil economy during the period 1986-1988 has beenstudied. For this purpose, after calculating the total factor productivity index viaSolo the remaining method, the effect of quantity and quality of education indicatorson total factor productivity has been analyzed. The results of implementing ARDLmodel while confirming the hypothesis of positive impact of human capital on TFP,showed that the quantity of education has a greater impact on TFP than the qualityof education. The positive impact of R&D and production capacity utilization rateon TFP was also confirmed. Due to reduced quality of education in recent years, theneed to control the quantitative development of education and improve the quality ofeducation has a higher priority than in the past.

        AbstracThe purpose of this study was to predict the Productivity of Khorasan Razavi athletic boards through comprehensive quality management and to present a strategy for increasing productivity in Khorasan Razavi sport associations. This research is a descriptive, analytical and applied study. The sampling method was the whole population. The statistical population consisted of all staff, chiefs and managers of Khorasan Razavi province. (Rahimi, 2017) and Organizational Productivity Scale Questionnaire (Sharifi, 2011) were used and the reliability of these questionnaires was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha as 0.88 and 0.88, respectively. The Watson Camera Regression and Statistics test showed that comprehensive quality management is able to predict productivity, meaning that 10% of productivity changes related to support and leadership of top management of organization, 9% of productivity changes related to program Strategic planning and 10% of productivity changes are related to staff identification and training. Considering the results of the research and the changes in productivity using comprehensive quality management, sports organizations, especially the sports boards under study, should pay particular attention to implementing and continuing to use comprehensive quality management. Since the establishment of a comprehensive quality management system in the past decades, it has been considered as an effective way to implement inclusive quality, increase productivity, effectiveness and sustainable development of sport organizations and institutions.

        In the Iranian economy, especially after the emergence of oil and its rise in price, we have witnessed a significant government presence in the economy and the payment of all kinds of direct and indirect subsidies to the society and manufacturing sectors. In 2010, the government took steps to liberalize prices in the energy sector and allocate proceeds to construction, housing, manufacturing, health and health sectors. Releasing energy prices can have an impact on the level of manufacturing and productivity. One of these industries associated with the daily lives of people is the food industry, which plays an important role in the economy.The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of targeting subsidies on the productivity of food industry. Therefore, the statistical society, food industry of Iran and the research period have been considered from 2006 to 2013. Using the econometric model and with the help of Eviews software, the following results are obtained.The coefficients indicate that: The physical capital and machinery variable in the food industry is significant at 5% error level and Lee does not have the required productivity in the food industry. On the other hand, effective exchange rate is one of the variables affecting the growth of production as well as productivity. This variable is significant at the error level of 10% and has a positive effect on the productivity of food industry. The results of this paper show that the variable productivity of human capital in food industry is positive and significant.The results of this paper show that the variable productivity of human capital in food industry is positive and significant. Finally, the results show that the purposefulness of the subsidy, which is significant at 1% error level, has a positive and significant effect on the productivity of food industry. In enforcing the targeted subsidy policies, businesses have been able to improve their situation and experience a competitive environment in production and increase productivity. Manuscript profile

        AbstractFinancial integration through increasing the level of investment in countries can have many positive effects on macroeconomic variables such as employment, economic growth, increasing the volume of international trade and ultimately the productivity of countries. This study examines whether fiscal integration in Iran can affect overall productivity growth and whether integration policies and subsequent fiscal integration can be among the policies that are needed. Should these countries adopt for their economic integration process? This study investigates the role and effects of financial integration on the productivity of total factors of production through the vector Autoregressive Distributed Lag during the period 1379-1398 for the Iranian economy. The results of estimating the model in the short and long term indicate a positive and significant relationship between financial integration and productivity during the selected time period. Also, variables such as trade openness and domestic investment have a positive relationship with productivity, but the inflation rate has had a negative impact on overall productivity.

        In recent years, Information and Communications Technology has the greatest impact on different aspects of human's life including effect of this technology on all economic sectors. In particular, ICT has increased Total Factor Productivity in many countries of the world especially developed countries from the second half of the 0991s. ICT capital has characteristics of knowledge commodity. Hence, it is able both through capital deepening and by its overflowing effect to affect productivity. This paper investigates ICT impact on TFP using Panel Data Method for the sample of selected developing and developed countries within the time period 3112-3112. Results of this study indicate that ICT internal investment and ICT external capital or the very ICT overflow, both, have positive and significant effect on TFP both in the sample of all the selected developing countries and in the sample of developed countries. In addition, effect of human capital on TFP in both samples of developed countries and selected developing countries was found positive. Manuscript profile

        One of the ways for encouraging economic development in oil exporting countries like Iran (which is known as an oil-dependent economy) is moving toward diversification of export revenues rapidly by increasing non-oil exports. This goal is not accessible without a comprehensive survey and examination of factors that affects non-oil exports condition. Although, in many developed countries, export and import analysis is performed in framework of relevant price variables (Also in our country most of the surveys have not gone beyond this framework).But it seems that institutional, scientific, technological and management factors have much greater effect on export variables in Iran in comparison to other countries. Hence, in this article we have tried to go beyond previous studies by adding real and non-price factors to quantitative model of non-oil export in order to estimate their impacts.In order to do this, we have considered non-oil exports to be a function of real exchange rate, total factor productivity, gross national product and the degree of openness of the economy. In addition, we have used ARDL for estimating the model and investigating the effects of each of these factors on non-oil export during 1975-2007. Finding of this paper shows that non-oil export is significantly and effectively, dependant on non-price variables. The results of our estimation show that productivity, degree of economic openness and GDP have positive effects on non-oil export. Albeit according to basic problems in production and export and according to our estimations, we claim that exchange rate does not have a significant impact on non-oil export. Manuscript profile

        In this study, we have measured TFP over the period 1994 - 2004 by applying Solo residual and Tornquist index technique. The trend of TFP has been studied and compared with in twodigit ISIC classification over the same period. The results of productivity measurement show that TFP in this period has increased on average by 6.9 percentages annually and its share in production growth is 65.8 percent. In addition, by using an endogenous growth model focusing on human capital, attempts have been made to elaborate the role of education, skill and technical progress in the growth of TFP. The results, based on the application of the panel data technique, show that education and skill, have positive and meaningful effect on TFP Moreover, the increasing share of technicians and engineers to total employment tends to increase productivity up to 17.21 but beyond this relative share, it cast a negative effect. On the other hand, technical progress has tended to have a positive effect on TFP. Further utilization of excess capacity and capital productivity enhancement has had a positive and meaningful effect on improvement of total factor productivity. Manuscript profile

        Total Factor Productivity is a various factor affecting on economic growth. This study also reviewed studies on total factor productivity, examines the effect of human capital, openness of the economy, inflation and terms of trade on Total Factor Productivity (TFP) for panel data for the region Southwest Asia countries in the 52-year ago( 089-5992). Countries that have been studied include Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Kuwait, UAE, Oman, Pakistan, Egypt, Bahrain and the Israel. These countries were selected because of their importance in the regional outlook of Iran. These countries are classified in two groups, including the member states OPEC and Non-OPEC. According to the estimates of variables, human capital and openness of the economy has strong effect on total factor productivity. The human capital has a higher elasticity (7631) against open economy variable (with elasticity 7611) in all countries. In the group OPEC countries, open economy variable has a higher elasticity (5681) and human capital inelastic (9901) is against. Openness of the economy plays in total factor productivity in this group. Openness of the economy variable has a positive impact and high elasticity (165) in NonOPEC countries. In the first step these countries should go towards creating a competitive and open economy infrastructure then go towards improving productivity. To achieve Vision 7191 goals, we need to move towards an open economy. Manuscript profile

        AbstractOne of the most tangible and effective areas of productivity, which the process of transformation at it, can have a significant impact on this very important indicator, is process of financial integration. Financial integration by integrating financial economies and relying more on market system and liberalization in its various dimensions can provide the basis for improving the productivity components. On the other hand, examining the impact of inflation on changes in growth rate of labor productivity is subject, which much attention in recent decades. Undoubtedly determination these effects can be helpful in adopting productivity policies. In this study, we investigate the nonlinear effects of financial integration and inflation on labor productivity in 15 selected developing countries at 2006 to 2019 with using of Markov Switching econometric technique. The results indicate that financial integration in both regimes, has a positive effect on labor productivity, but the intensity of this index impact is not very significant. There is also a Significant negative relationship about the effects of inflation on both regimes. Regarding the control variables, the business environment in first regime, has a negative effect and in second regime, it has a positive effect on labor productivity. Regarding the Institutional Factors Index, in the first regime has a positive relationship and in second regime has a negative relationship. Therefore, the need for new reform in these two areas is essential. So, it is necessary to make sustainable and cohesive planning to improve and development of financial integration indicators and also, control inflation in these societies, until  from  this way, to provide the grounds for promotion of labor productivity.

        In order to investigate tillage system and fertilization management in improving the quantitative and qualitative traits of corn, a split-plot experiment was laid out in the base of RCBD with four replications in Darrehshahr (Ilam province) during 2016 – 2017. Experimental treatments consisted of three levels of tillage [zero-tillage (direct sowing), conservative tillage (using compound and furrower), conventional tillage (Moldboard plow + double discs + pellets furrower)] and nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK) in three levels [included not use of chemical fertilizer (NPK)0, 50% recommended NPK (NPK)50, 100% recommended NPK (NPK)100]. The results of mean comparisons showed that the highest nitrogen yield per grain (30.15 kg.kg-1) was obtained in conservative tillage which is more than the no-tillage system with the use of (NPK) 100. The highest grain yield (8401 kg.ha-1) was obtained in conservative tillage treatment with use of (NPK)100 while least grain yield (5239 kg ha-1) was obtained in no-tillage with use of (NPK)0. It can be concluded that conservative tillage improves the absorption of elements which has increased the nutrient use efficiency. Conservative tillage against no-tillage system had a positive effect on yield, yield components, and nutrient efficiency while in some traits, this increase was more than a conventional system.

        In order to the effect of integrated use of chemical and biological fertilizers on phosphorus use efficiency and some of agronomic characteristics in sunflower, this study was carried out in Markazi province in 2009. A factorial arrangement of treatment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Inoculation with Nitroxin (N0= Control, N1= Inoculation), Inoculation with Barvar-2 (B0= Control, B1= Inoculation) and Application of chemical manure combination of Nitrogen and Phosphorus (C0= N0 + P0, C1= N50 + P25 , C2= N100 + P50 , C3= N150 + P75 kg ha-1). Results indicated that the effect of nitroxin on number of grain per m-2, hectoliter weight and inoculation with Barvar-2 biological manure on number of grain per m-2 were significant. Chemical manure combination of nitrogen and phosphorus on charecteritics such as: stem height, number of effective leaf, number of grain per m-2, biological yield, productivity index of plant, hectoliter weight and phosphorus use efficiency was significant, too. Among the different levels of combination application of chemical manure, that (50 kg ha-1 nitrogen + 25 kg ha-1 phosphorus) with average of phosphorus use efficiency (51.32 %) and (150 kg ha-1 nitrogen + 75 kg ha-1 phosphorus) treatment, with average of phosphorus use efficiency (21.01 %) were significantly superior to the other treatments. Therefore, it can be concluded that with increasing amounts of chemical fertilizers through leaching and waste to reduced fertilizer use efficiency Manuscript profile

        In order to study the effect of row intercropping patterns of lettuce and alyssum economic yield and productivity indices, a field experiment was conducted as a completely randomized blocks design with three replications during growing in 2014-2015 at Agricultural Research Station, Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. Treatment included 1 row of lettuce + 1 row alyssum (1:1), 2 rows lettuce + 2 rows alyssum (2:2), 3 rows lettuce + 3 rows alyssum (3:3) and their monoculture. The results showed that the effect of row intercropping patterns of lettuce and alyssum was significant on fresh weight of both crops. The highest fresh weight of lettuce and alyssum was observed in monoculture with 36200 and 5909.2 kg per hectare, respectively. The highest total land equivalent ratio (1.04) was obtained from 2:2 treatment, indicating 4% yield advantage of intercropping and represents a more efficient use of land in this cropping pattern compared to the monoculture of two crops. The highest competition index was achieved from 3:3 treatment (2.96). In addition, the highest system productivity index was obtained in row intercropping pattern 2:2 with 35466.5. Therefore, it seems that the row intercropping pattern of 2:2 was higher in land equivalent ratio and as well as system productivity index compared to other row intercropping patterns to obtain the highest yield and income than monoculture.

        In order to evaluate the rol of mycorrhiza-like fungus Piriformospora indica on rice grain yield and water use efficiency under different limited irrigation regimes a field experiment was conducted in split factorial design with three replicates during 2014. Treatments were different irrigation methods at three levels (flooding, flooding after falling water depth less than 10 and 20 cm of soil surface) in main plot, two levels of P. indica inoculation (control and inoculation of six days old seedlings) and two rice cultivars (Tarom-Hashemi and Shiroudi) in sub plots as factorial. Results showed that maximum grain yield was obtained in Shiroudi cultivar in flooding (7801 kg/ha), followed by -10 and -20 cm irrigation regimes (5592 and 5575 kg/ha, resectively). This reduction in Tarom-Hashemi cultivar, however, was only significant where falling water depth was less than 20 cm of soil surface and yield loss was about 18 percent as compared to the flooding treatment. Nevertheless, P. indica inoculation in Shiroudi cultivar increased biological yield by 8 %, as compared to Tarom-Hashemi cultivar. Water use productivity and efficiency amounts in limited irrigation regimes was increased significantly in falling water depth less than 20 cm of soil surface treatment by 55 and 57 % , respectively as compared to flooding treatment. In conclusion, results represented a positive effect of coexistence between P. indica and rice plants particularly to ameliorate water deficit negative effects. Manuscript profile

        Evaluation of energy efficiency is one of the key indicators for developing more sustainable agricultural practices. The purpose of this study was to determine input and output energy consumption for melon production, and evaluation of energy use efficiency in Razavi and Southern Khorasan provinces, Iran. For this purpose data were collected from farms of mentioned provinces. Inquiries were conducted by interview during spring and summer 2012. The results indicated that total energy inputs in Razavi and Southern Khorasan provinces were 68118 and 59815.5 MJ.ha-1, respectively. In both provinces, electricity (with 43%), nitrogen chemical fertilizer (with 27%) and water for irrigation (with 13%) were the highest energy inputs for melon production. About 15% of the total energy inputs used in melon production was renewable and 85% was non-renewable. In addition, in Razavi and Southern Khorasan provinces, the energy productivity was estimated at 0.18 and 0.11 kg MJ-1, respectively. It seems the higher energy consumption and developing the mechanical operation can be related to higher melon yield and energy use efficiency in farms of Razavi province. Manuscript profile

        Productivity is one the important concepts and fundamental necessity for the economic growth and development of all countries of the world. Hence, the study and identification of variables and factors influencing it, is essential especially for appropriate policymaking. The main objective of this study can be served as an investigation of the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the TFP growth and to achieve this, the third class of endogenous growth theories have been considered in order to design hypotheses and model.To test hypotheses, the panel data methodology is employed for the period of 2000 to 2009 and the specified model is estimated for 7 selected countries of APO members including I.R Of Iran in deferent approaches and in order to determine the presence and type of effects, the Leamer and Hauseman tests are carried out.The results of estimations confirm our two hypotheses and statistically indicate that the significant relation between exchange rate fluctuations and TFP growth cannot be rejected so that the TFP growth will decline if the exchange rate increases and vice versa. Furthermore, the study has several consequences which are concerned with the effects of other variables on the TFP growth, such as the degree of openness to foreign trade and inflationary circumstances. Policy recommendations have been discussed in the terminal sector of paper.  Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different levels of garden thyme and mint powder on production performance and egg quality of native chickens. The present experiment was conducted with 150 pieces of native chicken in the form of a completely random design with 5 treatments and 5 repetitions and 6 pieces of native chicken in each repetition. The experimental treatments are: treatment (A): basic diet without addition of garden thyme or mint (control treatment); treatment (B): adding 1% levels of garden thyme powder to the base diet; treatment (C): adding 1% of mint powder to the basic diet; treatment (D): adding 0.75% garden thyme powder along with 0.75% mint powder to the basic diet; and treatment (E): addition of 0.5% garden thyme powder along with 0.5% mint powder to the base diet. The results of the experiment showed that the percentage of egg production in the periods of 1-28, 28-56, 56-84 days and the whole production period of 1-84 days increased in the fifth treatment compared to the control treatment (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the weight of egg production in the periods of 1-28, 56-84 days and the whole production period of 1-84 days; However, in the period of 28-56 days, the level of birds that received 1% mint was higher (p < 0.05). The weight of the egg mass in all the tested laying periods in the birds receiving garden thyme and mint was higher than the control treatment (p < 0.05). The parameters of egg quality traits in birds receiving garden thyme and mint were significant compared to the control treatment (p < 0.05). Generally, the results of this experiment showed that the use of garden thyme and mint powder at the level of 0.5% of the basic diet of local chickens will improve the productivity and quality of eggs. .

        In order to study of cultivator application, simultaneous cropping and nitrogen levels on forage yield of corn in Esfahan region. A factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Urea manure levels [N0= without urea (Control), N1= 150 Kg ha-1 of urea, N2= 300 Kg ha-1 of urea) and simultaneous cropping treatment, (S1= cultivation of corn, S2= cultivation of corn + cultivator application, S3= cultivation of corn + cultivator application + soybean, S4= cultivation of corn + cultivator application + cowpea, S5= cultivation of corn + cultivator application + alfalfa) were assigned in plots. Each sub plot consisted of 4 rows, 6 m long with 60 cm between rows space and 20 cm between plants on the rows and S.C 704 hybrid was used. In this study, traits such as stem height, panicule length, forage yield, weight of stem and leaf, weight of ear, plant productivity index, number of grain per ear and number of ear per meter-2 were evaluated. The result have shown that the interaction effect of urea levels and simultaneous cropping + cultivator application treatment was significant on stem height, panicle length, forage yield, weight of stem and leaf, weight of ear, plant productivity index and number of grain per ear. The maximum and minimum of forage yield (73.83 and 46.90 ton ha-1) were obtained with the cultivation of corn + cowpea + 150 Kg ha-1 of urea and cultivation of corn + cowpea + cultivator application + 0 Kg ha-1 of urea manure, respectively. So, it seems that the use of simultaneous cropping along legumes and with reduced amounts of chemical fertilizers can be created through the diversity of cultures and the supply of nitrogen, one way to achieve sustainable of farming systems.

        The experiment was conducted to investigate the response of rice crop plant to nitrogen management in in different geographical regions in northern Iran as factorial based on a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications in Mazandaran province (Band pay Babol and Babol Plain) and Guilan province (Lahijan region) during 2019 and 2020. Three levels of nitrogen fertilizer including 50, 90 and 130 kg N ha-1 from urea sources were used as main plots and three levels of nitrogen splitting in basal applied, initial heading stage and full heading stage were used as sub plots. The findings revealed that grain yield in Lahijan region (6044 kg ha-1) was 6.57% and 5.53% lower than Band pay region and Babul Plain. With increase of 90 and 130 kg N ha-1 compared to 50 kg N ha-1, panicle length, number of panicle per hill, number of spikelet per panicle, filled spikelet percentage, grain nitrogen uptake, protein yield and nitrogen harvest index (0.77% and 2.44%, respectively) were significantly enhanced which resulted in enhance of grain yield (24.87% and 12.71%, respectively). GY with application of 50, 90 and 130 kg N ha-1 was 5602, 6314 and 6995 kg ha-1, respectively. In contrast, nitrogen utilization efficiency (108.21% and 30.37%, respectively) and nitrogen uptake efficiency (26.02% and 16.53%, respectively) were significantly decreased. Therefore, nitrogen management in the paddy field could be an effective approach to enhance performance of rice and nitrogen utilization efficiency is a major objective of future. Manuscript profile

        To investigate the effect of tillage systems and nitrogen fertilizer on corn characteristics, in 2016 and 2017, a research field was conducted in the research farm of Islamic Azad University Chalous Branch during two cropping years.The experiment was performed as a split-plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Experimental factors include tillage at three levels (no-tillage, conservation tillage and conventional tillage) in the main plot and nitrogen fertilizer sources at four levels, including non-application of zero, 33, 66,and 100% of the recommended amount of nitrogen fertilizer based on the test. The soil was on a subplot.Comparing the average effect of tillage showed that the highest grain yield was obtained in conservation tillage treatment at the rate of 10247 kg/ha-1. Comparison of tillage's average effect showed that the highest biological product was received in conservation tillage at the rate of 15754 kg/ha-1. Comparison of the average interaction of the year in tillage also showed that the highest NUPE was observed in the conservation tillage treatment in the second year at the rate of 0.90 kg.kg-1, which showed an increase of 47% compared to the treatment no tillage in the first year. NUPE in tillage treatments increased in the second year compared to the first year, which was higher in conservation and non-tillage tillage treatments. Comparison of the average treatment of nitrogen fertilizer showed that the highest grain nitrogen was obtained in the treatment of 100% nitrogen fertilizer at the rate of 1.98%, which showed an increase of 25.7% compared to the control treatment.In general, the results of this study showed that by applying conservation tillage methods, the least damage can be done to the soil structure, and through this, maximum yield and efficiency can be achieved in the corn plant. Therefore, according to grain yield, the most appropriate treatment for the study area is the use of conservation tillage in the case of fertilizer application of 66% nitrogen. Manuscript profile

        To investigate the effect of different amounts of wheat residues on growth and yield of barley cultivars in cold regions, a strip plot design based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was done in two years at Dry land Research Institute of Iran, Maragheh Station. In this study, the amount of wheat residues at three levels of 0.0, 1.5 and 3 ton/ha as horizontal factors and barley cultivars including Sahand, Abidar, Reyhan03 and Usef as vertical factors were evaluated. The experiment was carried out on a wheat- barley rotation farm. Residues of the wheat were added to the experimental plots and distributed uniformly on the surface of the soil. Plant residues of 3 tons per hectare had positive effects on early establishment of seedlings in the field, cold tolerance, yield and yield components of barley. The results also showed that Abidar cultivar had the highest positive reaction to the addition of wheat residues in the amount of 3 tons per hectare in terms of seedling emergence rate and percentage, thousand kernel weight, grain yield, biomass yield, productivity rate and precipitation efficiency index. Therefore, the maintenance of wheat residues of 3 tons per hectare can improve the yield of barley in cold regions Manuscript profile

        Assessment of energy and environmental pollutants of production process is important in terms of providing solutions to reduce energy consumption and emissions. The purpose of this study was to investigate and predict the yield and profit to cost ratio and environmental effects in sugar beet production to improve energy consumption and reduce global warming. The Cobb-Douglas model was used to investigate the effect of inputs on performance and profit-to-cost ratio. Environmental impact assessment was performed using Simapro software based on CML2 baseline2000 method. The required data were collected through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews with sugar beet growers in Khorasan Razavi, Fars, Khuzestan and Isfahan Provinces. The results showed that with a one percent increase in manpower inputs, diesel fuel, chemical fertilizers, electricity and seeds, the yield was increased or decreased 1.84, -0.59, -0.19, 0.13 and 0.39 percent, respectively. With a one percent increase in the costs of machinery, chemical fertilizers and seeds, 0.23, -0.39 and 0.98 percent were increased or decreased in terms of profit to cost, respectively. Fertilizers and chemical toxins (more than 90%) have the greatest effects on organic matter depletion and open water toxicity. Electricity consumption was also more than 20% effective in reducing inorganic matter and ozone depletion. The effects of open water poisoning and depletion of organic matter had the greatest environmental impact. The total emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere was 745.79 kg .ha-1. Analysis of soil parameters and proper management of agricultural machinery use can minimize energy consumption and environmental pollutants from production. Manuscript profile

        Water resources are very important to agricultural crop production due to increasing demand for food, feed, and fiber. There is a growing requirement for more use of our natural resources of land, soil, and water. There is ever-increasing pressure on water resources for our extensive use in agricultural production. There needs to be innovative solutions for more efficient irrigation techniques for better development of agricultural irrigation management. This review paper shows the consequences of partial root-zone drying happening on various plant species, its advantages and disadvantages, and also the hormone production under partial root-zone drying. In this technique of irrigation, a wet-dry cycle irrigates the crop, i.e., irrigation is scheduled at a regular interval with half way root drying. This is a water-saving irrigation strategy used in arid and semi-arid environments for increasing irrigation water use efficiency and water productivity as compared to fully irrigated crop plants in area with limited water resources. Scientists have worked a lot with different morphological, physiological, and yield related parameters of horticultural crops with partial root-zone drying but little work with agronomic crops.

        Plants are subjected to a variety of environmental stresses, which reduces and limits agricultural crop productivity. Environmental stresses that affect plants are of two types: biotic and abiotic stresses. Abiotic stress includes temperature, ultraviolet radiation, salinity, floods, drought, heavy metals, etc., which results in the loss of important crop plants globally, while biotic stress refers to damage caused by insects, herbivores, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, or weeds. Plants respond to all these environmental factors because the pants are fixed in a particular place. To cope with these stresses, a number of strategies have been developed by plants. They detect that the environmental stresses become activated and then generate the necessary cellular responses. Several investigations have been carried out to determine and understand plant assimilates partitioning and stress tolerance plant genotype necessary for the understanding of the complexity of the response of a plant to biotic and abiotic stresses.

        The water crisis is one of the most important issues in the near future in Iran, which threatens the lifes of humans and animals. This crisis is more than the result of the lack of water resources; it is the result of unfavorable water governance in Iran, which has brought it to the border of warning. Hence, the purpose of this research is to design a policy-making model for the country's water resources to improve the productivity of this industry in the country. This mixed- method research is exploratory in terms of objectives, and fundamental in terms of audience. In the qualitative phase of this research, the theme analysis method and in the quantitative phase, the structural equation modeling method were used. In the qualitative phase, in order to design the research model, interviews were conducted with 19 experienced experts in water resources who were selected purposefully. Based on the findings, 3 governances, policy and operational gaps were identified. Moreover, 10 strategies for water governance were identified. In the quantitative phase, to validate the research model, 189 managers and specialists in the Ministry of Energy were asked for their opinions using a researcher-made questionnaire; the sample size was calculated using Cochran's formula, and the sampling procedure was simple random. Finally, the results of the research showed that using the ideal model of governance in water resources management policymaking can be effective factors and can create valuable results in order to improve the productivity of the country's water industry.

        The aim of the current research was to present an optimal model for total productivity based on the combination of ownership and supervisory efficiency of independent managers of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. This research was a descriptive-deductive description in terms of its practical purpose and the method used. In order to analyze the data using the panel data method and to test the hypotheses, multiple linear regression tests were conducted in a sample consisting of 80 selected companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period of 1393-1400. In this research, the rate of return on equity and the ratio of book value to market value were used to measure the productivity index. The results of the estimation of the research models showed that when the variable rate of return on equity is considered as a productivity index, the composition of ownership has a significant negative effect on productivity. In fact, greater concentrated ownership in the institutional and major shareholders of the company causes a significant decrease in the productivity of companies; however, the increase in the number of non-commissioned members compared to the total number of board members as an indicator of the supervisory efficiency of independent directors does not have a significant effect on productivity. The effects of financial leverage and company size on the productivity of companies were found to be both negative and positive, that is, when the variable of the ratio of book value to market value is considered as a productivity index, ownership composition has a negative effect on productivity, but the effect of increasing the supervisory efficiency of independent managers on productivity was found to be significantly positive. As a result, reducing the concentration of managers’ ownership and increasing the number of non-commissioned board members can improve productivity. Manuscript profile

        Financing is one of the important issues that every industry faces in some way. Therefore, in order to maximize the wealth of shareholders, one of the decisions of the managers of small and medium sized industrial units is the decisions related to financing. Hence, the purpose of this research was to design a financing model for small and medium sized industries in Iran in order to improve productivity management. Since this research had a qualitative approach, the grounded theory method was used as a research method. The data was collected through in-depth and open interviews with 20 academic and industry experts, which was then coded and validated. The extracted codes included 411 concepts (open codes) and 20 main categories. Based on the systematic approach of foundational data theory, the identified codes were classified into six categories, including " central phenomenon, causal conditions, background conditions, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences". The results obtained from the interviews show that the central phenomenon of "financing" includes "drafting of financial plans during the financing process", "financial monitoring and evaluation during the financing process" and the categories of "development of operational activities", "developments of company's finances" and "company's environmental causes" as causal conditions have an effect on the categories of the central phenomenon. The foundational categories as necessary background conditions for the realization of financing in small and medium sized industries include: "financial accounting standards", "standardized financial statements", "company’s financial affairs management", "financing institutions", and "company's general management". Meanwhile, some categories act as interfering conditions in realizing financing in small and medium sized industries including: "macro environmental interventions", "internal company interventions" and "prerequisites for realizing financing" which are both background and intervention conditions. They can influence the presented strategies. These strategies include: "corporate discipline", "analysis and monitoring of the prevailing situation in the company", "actions and classification of matters for financing" and "using auxiliary levers" which are the necessary strategies in the implementation of financing in small and medium sized industries. If the central phenomenon is realized, the categories of "business excellence", organization of financial flows" and "economic development" can be expected as the resulting consequences.

        Nowadays, due to the population’s growth and the expansion of science and new technologies, various businesses have been created in society. These businesses need to pay special attention to human resources in order to have good productivity and not be weak in front of their competitors. This research aims to design a model to determine the factors affecting the emergance of human resource black holes using a fuzzy cognitive map (FCM). The statistical population of this research includes experts familiar with the subject at Lorestan University and Azad University, Lorestan branch whose sample members were selected using the snowball sampling method based on the principle of theoretical saturation. The data collection instrument consisted of the interviews in the qualitative part, whose validity was confirwmed using content validity, and their reliability was calculated using intra-coder inter-coder reliability with a coefficient of 78. The data collection instrument is the quantitative part included a questionnaire, whose validity and reliability were confirmed by content validity and test- retest reliability, whose coefficient was found to be 84. In this research, the content analysis and coding methods were used in the qualitative part and the FCM was used in the quantitative part to analyze the data. The findings in the qualitative part included identifying factors affecting the emergeance of human resource black holes, and the findings of the quantitative part included the ranking of these factors based on the degree of importance. The results of the research showed that a preference for engagement over expertise with the highest capacity for influence and consequently the highest degree of centrality was identified as the most important factor influencing the emergence of human resource black holes. Following this, the supervisors' inattention to the organization's problems and events, lack of proper performance evaluation system, individualism, and managers' inefficiency were identified as other important factors affecting the emergence of human resources black holes.
