        Wind is a convenient and powerful source of energy. Power generation in a variable speed wind turbine is an interesting topic; since in wind energy converter systems, maximum utilization can be achieved at any speed. But this system needs its parameters to calculate the optimal speed of the turbine. In this article, a control method for tracking the maximum power point in the wind energy converter system is presented, which has been used for simulation and design along with fuzzy control by Mamdani method. In this article, the wind energy converter system is a two-fed induction generator, which is connected to the grid with a rotor and a stator. The input of the control system is the difference between the desired speed of the generator and its actual speed. The optimal speed is the rotational speed at which the generator receives the maximum power from the wind turbine. After conducting simulations and designing a suitable fuzzy controller for the system, it was found that the incorrect selection of a parameter has an adverse effect on the control process of a system.

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

        Synchronization of a Class of Neutral Chaotic Systems based on Adaptive Sliding Mode Control Approach Synchronization of a Class of Neutral Chaotic Systems based on Adaptive Sliding Mode Control Approach Synchronization of a Class of Neutral Chaotic Systems based on Adaptive Sliding Mode Control Approach In this paper, adaptive control mechanism for finite time synchronization of a specific class of neutral chaotic systems is considered equal to unknown Delays disturbance and uncertainty. Delays and parameters are considered and different for two neutral chaotic systems equal to the master and the slave. The neutral chaotic system is introduced using a positive Lyapunov exponent and finite Attractor. in the proposed adaptive control mechanism two linear and adaptive sliding mode controllers have been used for synchronization.in the proposed approach control mechanism,the rules for updating the unknown parameters have been introduced by Lipshitz condition in chaotic system and use of Lyapunov function stability proposed control system in robust synchronization mentioned system have been confirmed. Finally, synchronization is performed between the master and slave neutral chaotic system )Jark and Gensiotsio( with nonlinear uncertainty and external disturbance as well as parameters and unknown time delay. Examination of the simulation results shows that the controller overcame the external disturbance and boundary uncertainty in the shortest time. And The estimation of the parameters of the main system is well done, which indicates the accuracy of the theory analysis. Manuscript profile

        During the recent decades, the significant role played by information has turned information management inorganizations into a challenging subject. To improve this, various organizational solutions were proposed,one of the most prominent of which was enterprise resource planning (ERP).Utilizing enterprise resource planning systems in Iranian organizations is a necessity. Since enterpriseresource planning systems are an importing technology, organizations should choose the most suitableoption, from among various organizational solutions during a decision making process. Designing thisprocess requires identification of effective factors and criteria in decision making. These are the factors andcriteria which, when considered in decision making, cause the organization to act properly while respondingto its needs and problems.Although there is a great need for paving the way to this decision making, little studies have been done inthis regard in our country which has created a gap between Iranian organizations and enterprise resourceplanning systems. This article is prepared to fill this gap, to reduce decision making risks, and to encourageorganizations to pass this doubtful path. To do this, two distinct questionnaires have been used to identify theeffective factors and criteria in decision making for utilizing enterprise resource planning systems. The majorexperts and counselors in this field, who are developing this system, had their opinions used. The effectivefactors and criteria were then classified into technical and organizational perspectives.After specifying the priorities of the elements, creating harmony among the systems in order to elevate theinformative trend of the organization in organizational view, matching and cooperating the software packageof ERP with the organization processes were all identified as the most important elements of which themethods of applying the elements to decide the application of ERP is explained through presenting appliedsuggestion in this research Manuscript profile

        One of the important and determining sectors of each society is its higher education system. The highereducation of each country is the factor which creates expert workforce and resolves the various problems ofthe country in a scientific way. In our society these factors and other various factors cause the everincreasingdemand for continuation of higher education at the university and entry to this system and create agap between the number of applicants and the existing facilities, encourage creation of new capacities(mostly with planning) because there is a delay between the beginning of capacity-creation and its fruition.At time of delivery of newly-created capacities, again there is not a harmony between the demand andcapacity. Sometimes this causes the existing capacities not to be filled and completed.In this research we have tried to model the structure of capacity-creation for applicants of entering theIranian higher-education system and execute it in the framework of systemic thought and dynamic systemtools in VENSIM software.Accordingly at first the main variables defining this system to a considerable extent are identified andrealized and their relations are codified according to casual loop diagrams. Then its technical structure iscompleted through design of the main model according to Flow & Stock diagram and assimilated in thesoftware. Through execution of model and analysis of its results the status of the higher education system infuture, derived from today's policies and planning, will be specified. At last more important, more effectiveand more principal indexes will be identified. Some variables can be added to this model. Furthermore anystrategy and solution can be tested and assessed without witnessing the probably negative consequences inreal world. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, with developing and promoting knowledge in organizations, effective management ofknowledge in trend of organizational goals is so important. Constructing infrastructures of knowledgemanagement is crucial for better controlling and monitoring of organizational knowledge. Knowledgeis a capital that couldn't dominate it simply. For guide employee of organization toward constructingand managing infrastructures of knowledge, it should be provided stimulus factors for them. QualityManagement as a comprehensive management system could has a crucial role in creating provocativefactors for organization's employee. In this article, with the perspective of human resources to qualitymanagement, we want to investigate influences of people-oriented factors of quality management inconstructing knowledge management value chain activities in organization, at three dimensions, thatinclude: Top management leadership and commitment, Plans of promoting competences of employeesand Customer-Oriented.From results of literature review and case study of research, at all of factors in quality management,we concluded that quality management has discernible relation with knowledge management valuechain activities. In analysis of correlation coefficient between variables of quality management andknowledge management value chain activities, the highest coefficient was between customer-orientedin plans of organization and knowledge management value chain activities, and plans of promotingcompetences of employees and Top management leadership and commitment were in later steps.Importance of customer-oriented in plans of organization is notable in constructing infrastructures ofknowledge management. Quality management creates inherent potentials in organization that couldplay prominent role in creating infrastructures of knowledge management in organization.

        Background: the need for knowledge management, given the economic conditions, requires the dynamic development of the audit profession so that this process out of the traditional mode and optimized based on existing technology development.Objective: This study aimed to identify barriers in computer audit in government agencies of Iran. Method: The study in term of purpose is functional, in terms of nature is descriptive and in terms of method is survey. The sample consisted of 240 respondents randomly from among the directors and auditors that audit the organization in Tehran were selected. The analysis of data using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and one-sample t was performed using spss software.Findings: The results showed that four hypotheses considered statistically significant importance was observed in one of hypotheses results were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Based on the results of the audit firm's lack of computer audit process, doubts concerning the benefits, the lack of strong software and mismatch between information systems, computer audit organizations as obstacles to the implementation of Iran's state audit agency were accepted from an audit perspective. However, in the absence of demand variables, this factor played a role in the implementation of computerized auditing in Iran. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this article is to propose a conceptual model about the role of Transactive Memory Systems (TMS), Learning, and Human Resource Development (HRD) in Entrepreneurship. This paper is a conceptual article and used one of the four kinds of conceptual papers with the name of "Model". The overall style of the "Model" type of conceptual paper is deductive reasoning (Jaakkola, 2020), and this paper is used this approach. The finding of this paper is a conceptual model about the relationship between TMS, Learning, and HRD with Entrepreneurship. This paper proposes that based on the definition of entrepreneurship, knowledge and as a consequence educating and learning have fundamental roles in entrepreneurship. In this regard, TMS as a theory that enables the understanding of the structure and the process of knowledge sharing and their measurement can have a significant role in the above learning matter. Finally, HRD as a wide field of study can enable the correct approach toward the development of human resources (individuals) as one of the main components of entrepreneurship. Manuscript profile

          Increasing worldwide environmental concerns have led to the development of environmentally friendly construction practices and Green roof technology is one possibility for reducing the environmental impact of a building. The main benefits of green roofs are their ability to regulate the temperature in and around buildings, improve energy efficiency in buildings, reduce the urban heat island effect, retain storm water, and increase the lifespan of a roof. Further, their secondary benefits include their ability to provide therapy to humans, provide space for agricultural use, improve public perception of a company or institution, improve the aesthetic environment, increase property value, reduce noise inside a building, and provide habitat for airborne species, However the main goal is always environmental quality enhancement. Sustainable structures and Green systems have been the most important issues for developed countries. Now these projects in developing countries like Iran have been doing for resolving several problems with cultural, social, environmental, and economical results. All of these efforts can be studied in base of sustainable development.   Study about green roof is not a new object but green system is a new object. If these systems be used in the country we can interest of these benefits and also many occupations will be created, so we should use them in macro scale otherwise they will be forgotten. One of the resolves of widespread green system performance is defining it in accordance with sustainable development. In today’s society, sustaining the environment is becoming an increasingly important issue. Consumers, businesses and institutions are making an effort to be environmentally conscious for the sake of the planet. In addition, businesses and institutions have the incentive appearing more environmentally conscious to the public, and are beginning to forgo immediate economic gains for the sake of engaging in more environmentally sustainable activities and systems.   The investigation done has incorporated literature research, expert consultations and university information and has aggregated experiences of pioneer countries in this field. The objective of this study is to determine whether the environmental benefits and financial incentives of green roof systems in Iran are sufficient to render the green roof a sound investment. The purpose of this research is justifying the green roof system in Iran by using of environmental development criteria. In the conclusion we found that one way to develop and justify the system in Iran is defining and analyzing the ways of developing that by sustainable development criteria. The debate is over; human beings have to this point had an adverse effect on the stability of Earth. Many human practices and processes utilized to sustain the current standard of living have proven to be unsustainable. In light of this fact, the green revolution is gaining momentum throughout the world. A green roof is essentially a roof with a living system of plants on the top. In Iran, green roof technology has been slow to catch on. Green systems are minimal and more information needs to be relayed to people in order to stimulate green roof systems in Iran.   Manuscript profile

        The study of complex systems is bringing new vitality to many areas of science where a more typical reductionism strategy has fallen short. Complexity expresses a condition of numerous elements in a system and numerous forms of relationships among the elements. In this regard, urban systems are complex and finding their elements and relationships is a wicked problem. The search for scientific bases for confronting these problems is bound to fail, because of their aggressive nature. The kinds of problems that urban planners deal with, societal problems are inherently different from the problems that scientists and perhaps some classes of engineers deal with. Planning problems are inherently wicked. As distinguished from problems in the natural sciences, which are definable and separable and may have solutions that are findable, the problems of urban planning are ill-defined; and they rely upon elusive political judgment for resolution. But nowadays, scientists are seeking non-linear coupling rules for resolute complex systems problems. In these endeavors, fuzzy systems are an alternative to traditional notions of logic that can cope with complexity of systems. Fuzzy systems provide a rich and meaningful addition to standard logic. Utilizing fuzzy systems in an urban environment raises the likelihood of encountering difficult stability problems. This paper aims to follow the بررسی امکان بکارگیری نظریه فازی در تحلیل مسائل پیچیده شهرapplication of fuzzy systems in the analysis of urban complex problems; In the first part of the paper, authors review definition of urban problem with system approach.مسأله، مانعی است که دستیابی به اهداف دلخواه را با دشواری مواجه می‏سازد. A problem is an issue or obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal or purpose. It refers to a situation or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired. In urban studies an urban problem is difference between an observed condition and a desired condition in a city. Thus urban planning is identifying the actions that might effectively narrow the gap between what-is and what-ought-to-be in a city. (حبیب a 1383)….. For eliminate or reduce the distance between the existing and desired conditions, it is necessary to recognize of complex system constructive elements and the interrelationships between them. برای حذف یا کاهش فاصله میان وضع موجود و وضع مطلوب لازم است که عوامل و عناصر سازنده سیستم پیچیده شهر و روابط میان آنها مورد شناسایی قرار گیرد. بنابراین مسأله شهری، در واقع یافتن اجزا و عناصر سازنده یک پدیده شهری و نحوه پیوند و عملکرد آنهاست. Therefore, urban problem, is finding elements of the urban system and relationships between them. This study is concerned with proposing of a fuzzy system driven approach for solving urban problems and introduces a new model for solving urban problems with fuzzy systems principles. In this model, expert knowledge of urban field converts to fuzzy "If-Then" rules at the first. Then a Fuzzy Urban Decision Engine (FUDE) that connected to a rules database, return a fuzzy solution for a wicked problem. The findings indicate that the fuzzy system methods are powerful processes and analytic tools for helping planners to resolve urban complex problems. These tools can be successful where as others have failed because both incorporate or address uncertainty and risk; complexity; systems interacting with other systems; competing points of view and values; different people knowing different parts of the urban problem; and inter organizational politics.

        Today, the term “sustainability” is used in many academic and nonacademic communities and the themes of many conferences and seminars are dedicated to this topic. But in an era of escalating consumerism and endless growth, it seems that sustainability will face more difficulties in pursuit of its goals. Although architecture schools care about sustainability and seek appropriate solutions for environmental concerns, the recentness of the topic has caused architecture to face various obstacles such as "limited expertise", "lack of inspiring prototypes to counterbalance prevalent non-sustainable lifestyles", "fringe reputation", "number crunching", "the old guard", "holistic vs. fragmented", "the Braux art tradition", " unawareness of environment crisis" and "lack of  technical courses that support design studios" inside the classroom and "ambiguous identity", "confusing implications", "the magic flute", "the question of aesthetic" and high cost of sustainability outside the classroom.  Following an investigation into environmental crises, the principles and history of sustainable architecture, two sustainable education models (one theoretical and the other practical) and the obstacles facing the teaching of sustainable architecture, this paper attempts to analyze architectural education in Iran in order to assess the performance of Iranian architecture schools in teaching sustainable design. For this reason, courses taught in Iran's architectural schools are divided into 5 categories including: "Architectural Design", "Building Technology", "Architectural History and Theory", "Urban and Rural Development" and "Historical Building and Renovation”. Then the challenges mentioned are examined in each category with secondary data reviews.  While courses related to sustainability and environmental crisis are not taught in Iran's universities, some obstacles like "fringe reputation:, "number crunching”, “limited expertise" and "the old guard" are not studied and only 4 obstacle including "holistic vs. fragment", "the Braux art tradition", "unawareness of environment crisis" and " lack of  technical courses support of design " are investigated in architecture universities.    This paper will conclude that architectural education in Iran follows one rigid strategy, which is not suitable for a multidisciplinary field like architecture, particularly sustainable architecture: therefore Iranian architecture schools are not capable of teaching sustainability, whether as an attitude or as a technique. Therefore, a systematic policy is essential, one that concentrates on all three important parts of an educational system: well-defined goals, planning in accordance with these goals and the assessment of programs to refine goals. This paper also proposes two level programs consisting of: Level 1 (architecture education system): In this level, one flexible system will be defined consisting of several subsystems in accordance to global and local challenges. Each of these subsystems includes various theoretical and practical courses with focus on its subsystem goals. Students can choose some of these subsystems _which are controlled by one management system_ according to their interests. . This model of education system, not only lets students learn what they are interested in, but also produces graduates with different types of skills who can cover the different needs of society. Level 2 (sustainability subsystem): This level consists of theoretical and practical courses (especially interdisciplinary courses) relating to sustainability education in architecture.   Manuscript profile

        This article aims to undestanding of Mediated Experience and effect of that on the contemporary architecture students of Iran according to a case study on students of Tehran university and Azad university ( in Tehran) in 2006-2007. With the strong presence of media in contemporary life that  change the meaning of time and space, people in different fields, because of  fast speed, ubiquities, low cost and attraction, obtain major part of their  knowledge and experience from medias in scale of the world . Also in Iranian architecture field,with medias, we are faced to a global view which has challenges in itself about tradition and modernity. Generaly this research seeks to know the role of media in learning of architecture students ,that can be seen : major part of the architectural knowledge of student ( in both university)   obtain from the media. this knowledge is not deep enough due to lack of enough knowledge to the process of creation, philosophical bases and related cultural and social issues .but medias with high capacity can have a big role in the academic system of Iran.

          For thousands of years cities have been centers for a variety of thoughts, cultures, human beings' social interactions, and places for development of urbanism. Although when human beings came into existence, most of them started living and working in villages, settlements, towns and communities, but in year 2000 and especially in the later decades of the 20th century, two important events were urbanism and global cities appearance. Meanwhile metropolises in south countries with a first world city inside them have an objective and wide entity and are affected by global agents These days, each city in the First World and industrialized countries has a Third World town inside. These Third World-oriented towns face problems such as unemployment, environment, malnutrition, starvation, diseases, children death and child labor. On the contrary, each Third World city has a First-World Town inside which enjoys high-tech communications and facilities. This reveals contradictions, challenges and great gaps which cities are involved.    In this research we try to study political, economical, social and cultural effects of globalization on metropolises cities in south countries in different dimensions and through comparative study and use of developed countries' experience to make suitable solutions in developing countries' urban planning and ordering.

        ABS methods are direct iterative methods for solving linear systems of equations, where the i-th iteration satisfies the first i equations. Thus, a system of m equations is solved in at most m ABS iterates. In 2004 and 2007, two-step ABS methods were introduced in at most [((m+1))/2] steps to solve full row rank linear systems of equations. These methods consuming less space, are more compress than corresponding Huang’s method. Also, these ABS-type models need less number of multiplications for a square system. In this paper, in order to economize and compress required space, we present a new three-step ABS procedure that is terminated in at most [((m+2))/3] steps. Computational complexity is considerable up to those corresponding Huang’s method and initial two-step ABS approaches. we present a new three-step ABS procedure that is terminated in at most [((m+2))/3] steps.

        In this paper, using sub-supersolution argument, we prove an existence result on positive solution for an ecological model under certain conditions. It also describes the dynamics of the fish population with natural predation and constant yield harvesting. The assumptions are that the ecosystem is spatially homogeneous and the herbivore density is a constant which are valid assumptions for managed grazing systems. This term saturates to c at high levels of vegetation density as the grazing population is a constant. This model tries to capture the phenomena of bistability and hysteresis and provide qualitative and quantitative information for ecosystem managements. This model has also been applied to describe the dynamics of fish populations. This model describes grazing of a fixed number of grazers on a logistically growing species. The general logistic function is characterized by a declining growth rate per capita function (Equation) Here P is the population, r > 0 is the growth rate and is positive constant[21]. But there are some ecosystems where the growth rate per capita may achieve its peak at a positive density. This is called the Allee effect This effect can be caused by shortage of mates, lack of effective pollinations predator saturation and cooperative behaviors. In this pape, we restrict ourselves to logistic models. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the current research is to provide a performance appraisal system capable of considering the value chain network structure of research and development (R&D) projects for Complex products and systems (CoPS) under uncertainty of data. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, a network data envelopment analysis (NDEA) approach and the possibilistic programming to provide a new fuzzy network data envelopment analysis (FNDEA) approach have been utilized. It is worth noting that the value chain structure is considered in three phases: research and development, manufacturing and testing and finally operations. Finally, the proposed research approach was implemented using data from 10 Research and Development projects for complex systems and products in Iran and the results indicate the capability and applicability of the proposed approach of fuzzy three-stage data envelopment analysis.Keywords: Research and Development (R&D) Project, Complex Products and Systems (CoPS), Network Data Envelopment Analysis (NDEA), Value-Chain, Uncertainty.

        abstract‎For the study of atomic systems, first introduced by Feichtinger et al. Gavruta presented K-frames on Hilbert spaces. K-frames are a kind of frames in sense that the lower frame bound only holds for the elements in the range of the K, where K is a bounded linear operator in Hilbert space. C*-algebra whose topology is induced by a family of continuous C*-seminorms instead of a C*-norm is called pro-C*-algebra. Hilbert pro-C*-modules are generalizations of Hilbert spaces by allowing the inner product to take values in a pro-C*-algebra rather than in the field of complex numbers. In this paper, the sequences whose elements are adjointable operators from pro-C*-algebra into Hilbert pro-C*-module is called the sequence of multipliers. We introduce the concept atomic systems and K-frame of multipliers in Hilbert pro-C*-modules and for more information, we give an example of K-frames. We obtain a condition that sequences of multipliers is frame, also we investigate the relationship between atomic systems and K-frames with each other and the frame of multipliers. If K is a bounded operator with certain conditions then every K-frame of multipliers is a frame of multipliers in Hilbert pro-C*-module. Also, we investigate some of the properties of these concepts, such as the combination of operators with K-frames in Hilbert pro-C*-module. Manuscript profile

        Every year, many people are killed and wounded due to traffic accidents on the roads of Iran and lot of families suffer from physical, mental and financial problems. Today, the problem of traffic accidents has become an important issue in Iran but all provinces are not same condition in this issue. Transport authorities and experts tend to know position of each state based on different criteria. They should know that which province has the good condition and which one are in the worst position because for more exact planning, this issue has some influences on their decisions. In this paper, provinces based on various criteria, equipment related to intelligent transportation systems, are ranked. This method indicates that the numbers of dead and injured are not appropriate criteria for ranking of states and different criteria must be considered. This priority is performed by using of Analytical Hierarchy process (AHP). Based on the obtained results, the most important indicators for assessing Iranian provinces to improve road safety are a number of relief bases, type of damage, intelligent transportation equipment and road traffic rate. Extracting the results was done using Expert Choice software. Manuscript profile

        Reliability optimization problem has a wide application in engineering area. One of the most important problems in reliability is redundancy allocation problem (RAP). In this research, we worked on a RAP with repairable components and k-out-of-n sub-systems structure. The objective function was to maximize system reliability under cost and weight constraints. The aim was determining optimal components number of each subsystem, including the optimal number of repairmen allocated to each subsystem. Because this model belongs to Np. Hard problem, we used genetic algorithm (GA) for solving the presented model and response surface methodology (RSM) was used for tuning of algorithm parameters. Also for calculating the reliability of each subsystem (and system reliability) we used a simulation method. Finally, a numerical example was solved to test the algorithm performance.

        In the last years, the theory of numerical methods for system of non-stiff and stiff ordinary differential equations has reached a certain maturity. So, there are many excellent codes which are based on Runge–Kutta methods, linear multistep methods, Obreshkov methods, hybrid methods or general linear methods. Although these methods have good accuracy and desirable stability properties such as A-stability and L-stability, they are not suitable for the numerical solution of special classes of problems arising from different research areas, for example the mathematical models of celestial objects which are Hamiltonian systems. Since the solution of such problems has special geometric property such as symplecticity and usually reversibility. Therefore, it is natural to search for numerical methods that share this property. It is the purpose of this paper to design high order symplectic and symmetric methods. Efficiency and accuracy of the constructed methods are confirmed by implementing on well-known Hamiltonian problems of the motions of celestial objects. Manuscript profile

        Research centers have an important place in promoting science and technology nationwide. On the other hand, given the limitations in allocating the funds and the facilities needed to establish these centers, it is important to decide on the selection of priority centers. In this decision - making process, several factors, such as requirements, priorities and strategies, capabilities, and balanced and sustainable development, should be considered. The total of the above items will make decision-making on ranking and selecting proposed projects a complex, time - consuming and costly resource. To this end, designing and developing a decision support tool is considered. In this research, a DSS is designed and evaluated to evaluate the design of research centers for Islamic Azad University units. This decision - making system, based on information from research centers and indicators gathered by experts, as well as the history of successful and failed research centers, is better explored with the discriminatory analysis and data envelopment analysis, and ultimately prediction that is it possible that the research center of the applicant be successful.

For this purpose, according to zero based theory induced by natural and living systems cycle, we consider three cycles of production, distribution and usage and then articulate the behavior of variables affecting human development in a non ‐linear and dynamic space and therefore remind system managers and regulators of their roles. Method: This study is a theoretical‐applied research and its methodology, regarding subject and goals, is of cause and effect kind and its implementation is rather nonlinear mathematical modeling. In execution, the research method is a combinational method Results: In dynamic model, the sensitivity of subsidiary and fixed variables were analyzed by considering their cause ‐effect relations and the most sensitive one was identified. Considering the model, one can find that : a) In production process, the most important damages affecting on intellectual human dimensions are weak knowledge management, lack of capacity management, inefficiency of supervising system and distrust (prejudice), lack of pluralism, lack of comprehensive theory on health and weak policymaking; b) In distribution process, the most important damages affecting on intellectual human dimensions are unilateral transfer of information, Censorship, lack of financial support, lack of transparency, lack of capacity management, inefficiency of social security coverage system and offense; c) In usage process, the most important damages affecting on intellectual human dimensions are lack of motivation (no motivation), personal and mental causes and social cynicism. In spite of being distinguishable, behaviors are never similar and it is impossible to exactly specify their details. As behaviors are rather qualitative than quantitative In order to give a primary prediction, it is necessary to use non ‐linear planning and computer simulation to identify qualitative patterns and behavior as a whole.

        This paper introduces the sociological approach in studying theEngineering as a social organization and evaluating the relationshipbetween engineering and society. The focus, here, is on qualifyingengineering education and training the engineers sensitive to socialvalues. First, I explain the relationship between engineering and societyin such extent that interacting each other. Then, it is claimed that therole of engineering is illustrated in details in the modern society ratherthan the traditional society. Introducing 14 social problems shows thatengineering is redefined more irrefrangibly to the social context. Itflows that most important achievements of the sociological approachwill be educating and training “engineer-sociologist”. The ideaengineer-sociologist is preferred as a strategic policy in the engineeringeducation by which is introduced the humanistic, ethical and socialvalues promotion in variety technologies and their applications inartifacts production and development. Teachers and students are themain practitioners in this education and research program. It is thusrecognized that interdisciplinary studies of the engineering andsociology as an independent and necessary filed where the socialproblems of the technologies and the engineering enterprises would beinvestigated Manuscript profile

        The resilience of social-ecological systems to environmental changes such as climate change requires the guarantee of environmental systems such as water supply systems and human resources such as resource governance systems and stakeholder participation. In Iran, the International Carbon Sequestration Project, in cooperation, was initially launched in 2005 with the aim of preventing the phenomenon of desertification. Therefore, in this study, the local communities of the three target areas of this project, including Khatam, Jajarm and Oghan watershed of Galikesh and the impact of the project on the broaden of stakeholder participation were examined. For this purpose, two villages from each region were selected by simple random sampling and a questionnaire measuring the broaden participation among farmers and ranchers in the target villages was completed. The results showed that the implementation of carbon sequestration plan in the three study areas in the five dimensions studied did not increase the broaden participation to an acceptable level. Also, the comparison of the performance of the three regions showed that in Jajarm, the weakest performance and in Galikesh, the best performance has been done in order to expand the participation of stakeholders. Indicators of broaden participation were acceptable only in Ogan watershed and Khatam in 14 out of 90 possible cases. As a result, transparency of goals and expectations, presence and involvement of stakeholders, facilitation, and leadership, capacity building, power, and sourcing in all aspects of social, economic, organizational, infrastructure, and social capital have not performed well. Therefore, the resilience of ecosystem services in the three study areas will be jeopardized due to the lack of expansion of stakeholder participation. Manuscript profile

        Resilience is a multidimensional concept that takes on various analytical applications based on the presence in different specialized fields,. The aim of the current research is to investigate the relationship between the features of the social system and the reorganization of the socio-ecological systems of the agricultural sector in the context of the concept of resilience. For this purpose, 118 experts from the country's management and planning organization, the vice president for strategic planning and supervision, as the only reliable institution with a comprehensive view and using the census technique, were selected and answered questions related to the characteristics of socio-ecological agricultural systems of Iran through a questionnaire. The findings obtained using the canonical correlation analysis method showed that the characteristics of the social system have a significant relationship with the reorganization of the social-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture. The canonical correlation analysis showed two significant sets between the features of the social system and the reorganization of social-ecological agricultural systems, and the significance level of 0.000 with a probability of 99 percent confirmed the existence of a canonical correlation between the two sets of variables. The results of canonical correlation showed that the total canonical coefficient between the social system and reorganization is 0.811 x 0.811, which shows the correlation between the two hidden variables at the rate of 0.65, so such a social system plays a role, it is effective and dynamic in the context of the sustainability of the socio-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture.

        Background and Aim: The purpose of this research is to model scenarios for the protection of underground water resources in South Khorasan province in drought conditions. Methods: In this regard, this problem was followed using the system dynamics approach and the behavior of the reference variable "Volume of underground water resources of South Khorasan Province" was simulated against different scenarios during the years 2013 to 2014 through the use of Vensim software. The required information was collected by referring to relevant organizations such as South Khorasan Regional Water Organization, South Khorasan Agricultural Jihad Organization and Iran Statistics Center, and the input data of the model was called into the model in the form of an Excel file.  Results: The results of the research showed that applying the control scenario of water resources exploitation in normal drought conditions and drought with low intensity is useful, but applying this scenario in drought conditions of more than 20% will have negative effects on the economic indicators of the agricultural sector. Also, the fourth scenario of the cultivation pattern (emphasis on strategic crops) along with the fifth scenario of the cultivation pattern (drought-resistant crops) have brought the least pressure on underground water resources. Nevertheless, considering that cultivation pattern No. 4 has created the least added value, it cannot be an efficient pattern. Conclusion: According to the results of the research, if the severity of droughts increases in the coming years, but the current agricultural conditions of South Khorasan province continue in terms of cropping patterns, droughts will not have an effect on economic indicators, because in these conditions, farmers By breaking the ground and extracting more from underground water sources, they will compensate for the lack of rainfall and will show the negative effects of drought on the stock of underground water resources. Considering the effect of the cultivation pattern on underground water resources and economic indicators, it is necessary to think of measures to change the cultivation pattern. Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Numerous routing methods of public transportation systems have been designed. The main challenge of optimum routing of urban public transportation systems is defined as the determination of the optimal locations of the stations and the routh lengths in a city. Method: To address the challeng designers are confronted with a wide range of criteria, among which cost, time and coathing are the most important ones. In this paper, routing optimization for a configuration of 9 bus lines in one of the Tehran districts was implemented. In order to optimize the bus routes, the origin and destination of each line were considered fixed and the intermediate routes were optimized. Eight factors consisting of: road capacity (LOS), land use, pavement status, crossing line width, components of road cross sections, population density and length of each edge (Arc) were selected for optimization process. According to the importance of each factor for routing, a special weighting coefficient were assigned to each criteria. After implementating Dijkstra algorithm, the routes of 5 bus lines must be changed. The line direction changing subsequently caused to new stations allocation requirement. Findings: After determining the allocation criteria and creating corresponding layers, 16 new stations were allocated. Finally, the proposed routes between these stations were identified. Discussion and Conclusion: One of the most important aspects of innovation in this study is the use of GIS capabilities to provide novel solutions for optimal routing of BRT lines.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: In recent years, excessive use of agricultural inputs has increased energy consumption and greenhouse emissions. This study aims to investigate the energy flow and greenhouse gases emissions in the production systems of some crops in South Khorasan province. Material and Methodology: In the current research, a questionnaire, as well as face-to-face interviews with the farmers in this region (2018), were used to collect the required information, including agricultural operations, the type and amount of consumed inputs and product performance. In the present research, input energy, output energy, net energy, specific energy, optimal energy consumption, energy efficiency indices, different forms of energy, and Global warming potential were calculated and evaluated. Findings: The results showed that the process of alfalfa production had the highest energy consumption. On the other hand, Sugar beet (571,200 MJ.ha-1), fodder sorghum (391,920 MJ.ha-1) and alfalfa (120,870 MJ.ha-1) have the highest energy output, respectively. A comparison of the studied products showed that rapeseed (27.6 MJ.kg-1) and cotton (15.3 MJ.kg-1) have the maximum specific energy index. The ecosystems of alfalfa (41566 kg CO2eq.ha-1), sugar beet (29179 kg CO2eq.ha-1), fodder sorghum (27396 kg CO2eq.ha-1) had the maximum of global warming potential (GWP), respectively. Comparing the share of different inputs from the total global warming potential of the products showed that electricity, nitrogen fertilizer, and diesel play the greatest role in greenhouse gas emissions in all the studied products. Discussion and Conclusions: Since electricity and nitrogen fertilizer had the greatest role in the greenhouse gases emission from crops in South Khorasan province, management and optimization of irrigation performance and appropriate agricultural activities such as green manure crops or legumes cultivation to increase soil fertility, can be a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the South Khorasan region.

        Background and Objective: Climate change has been a serious issue in the last two decades and many studies have focused on its various aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the potential habitat of rangeland index species, currently and in the coming years, under climate warning models. Therefore, in the present study, by preparing a prediction map of the current and future range of Bromus tomentellus species, under two climate warning models (Rcp4.5 and Rcp8.5 scenarios), its movement, in latitudes, at the level of rangeland ecosystems of Ardabil province was investigated. Material and Methodology: For this purpose, in the growing season of 2020, from 19 bioclimatic variables and three physiographic variables and a logistic regression model, to determine the quantity of climate change in the next three decades (2050) and to carefully examine its effects on the change in the range of B. tomentellus species now and in the future, used. The output maps are divided into four categories with the probability of occurrence between zero and one; unsuitable habitat (0-0.25), almost suitable habitat (0.25-0.5), habitat with high suitability (0.5-0.75) and habitat with very high suitability (0.75-1), it was grouped and based on the coefficients of the variables in the regression relationships, the effective variables for the current and future range were introduced. Findings: The average annual temperature (BIO1), the annual temperature range (BIO7) and the average temperature of the coldest season (BIO11) are the most important for the suitability of the habitat, and their values increase with the harsher climatic conditions. The average annual temperature of its suitable habitats will increase by 1.6 to 2.1 degrees Celsius in the next three decades. The height of its suitable habitats will increase from 115 to 190 meters. As a result, the level of its suitable habitat decreases in response to climate change. Also, under climate scenarios, 30.2% of suitable climate habitats will be lost in 2050, and current unsuitable habitats will increase by 29.4%. Discussion and Conclusion: In general; climate change and increase in temperature will cause B. tomentellus species to move to higher latitudes along the altitude gradient. Therefore, in the next three decades, there is a risk of removing it from the rangeland ecosystems of Ardabil province. Manuscript profile

        Solar combi-systems have attracted more attention technologically and economically compared with the other thermal applications of the solar energy in the world. The reason why these systems are preferred for the provision of hot water and solar heating is that they need a medium temperature which can be supplied by flat-plate collectors and at a lower cost than that of other types of collectors. In this paper, first the thermal loads of residential apartments (in two cases: with common materials and with materials dictated by the national rules of construction) in Hamedan and Karaj have been computed. Then, suitable solar combi-systems have been designed for each apartment. Subsequently, the rate of thermal energy that can be provided by this system and windows has been calculated. In the next step, considering the heating energy needed by building and studying the expense-efficiency curve of the solar combi-system, the number of solar flat-plate collectors has been calculated, and considering the effect of solar panels shadow and the space limitation of the roof, a hybrid (fossil-solar) system has been proposed. The results show that the average solar energy which can be used varies from 15 1o 45 percents in the cold months of the year. Consequently, considering the annual fuel savings and also the reduction of social costs in cold regions using the solar combi-system as well as the international price of energy, about 43 million Rials will be saved in fuel costs so that the initial high investment expenses will be returned in less than two years. In the same way, about 10 million Rials will be saved in fuel costs in temperate regions; therefore, the initial investment expenses will be returned in four years Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Limitation of undesirable effects of construction industry is one of the most important environmental concerns in recent decades. Expansion of construction activities is an inevitable issue and like any other industrial product, buildings can be considered as a result of raw materials and renewable and non-renewable types of energy use. At the final step of a building life cycle, there is no other way except demolition or recycling. Previous studies in this field have emphasized the building assessment during its use phase. Whereas large aspect of energy usage and pollutants production can be found in construction and demolition phases. Method: Current paper reviewed the researches yet have been done and studied appropriate methods, tools and criterion to assess environmental sustainability of construction systems, especially on production and demolition phases. Results: The main goal of this study is to find a way for parametric assessment of environmental sustainability in construction systems, with emphasis on production and end phase of a building life cycle. Conclusion: Finally, this study presents a six-parameter numerical model that can help to evaluate environmental compatibility of any building by which environmental sustainability of a construction system can be assessed with emphasis on production and end phase of its life cycle.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objective: Nowadays, enviromental impact of buildings is assessed by several sustainability rating systems. Analyzing relative importance and prioritizing of assessment criteria, as the principal measures for rating systems, indicate the general trend of those systems in accordance with three pillars of sustainability, i.e. environment, economics and society. Method: Having gathered data in the form of library-based study, this paper proposes a framework to compare and analyze the criteria of widely-used assessment systems, including BREEAM, LEED, CASBEE, DGNB and HQE. By chossing an analytical-comparative method, assessment criteria for 5 rating systems are explored and classified. In order to acquire the relative importance of each criterion, weigthing coefficients are adopted and the weighted percentages are calculated. Findings: The comparative framework organized by three principles of sustainability, mainly covers 11 categories including Energy, Water, Site, Environmental Loads, Material, Waste, Indoor Environmental Quality, Socio-cultural issues, Economics, Technical and Functional Quality and Sustainable Management. Sub-criteria of each category provide the possibility for evaluating rating systems sufficiency at the micro level. Discussion and Conclusion: Rating systems concepts and trends have a major role in organizing criteria structure. For example, DGNB, which has an assessment structure in compliance with the three principles of sustainable architecture, much of criteria are assigned to economic and social issues, while BREEAM, LEED and HQE, considered as first generation of rating systems, mostly deal with environmental issues. In the holistic systems such as DGNB and CASBE issues such as performance, technical capabilities and building service are generally highlighted, whereas atomistic systems such as BREEAM, LEED and HQE give importance to preservation of resources including energy, water, land, etc. However, in both systems, energy and indoor environment quality are significantly considered.

        The use of artificial intelligence techniques and methods in improving evaluations and reducing computational accuracy is one of the most important capabilities in the field of computer application in various sciences, which is a strategic strategic approach, especially in financial resource management, investment and science. Economic is used. It will be much more efficient when computational models are based on several different variables. Because in a strategic investment management at the intra-organizational and macroeconomic level, especially banks, the smallest calculation errors will have serious financial consequences. For this purpose, the present study has been prepared in three stages of data collection, data measurement and preparation of evaluation models. In the data collection stage, an exploratory method (descriptive-survey) was used to collect information (data related to the financial balance sheets of Sepah Shahr Bank of Tehran and the Central Bank consisting of 17 branches) which after extracting the criteria by expert personnel. (Including 50 specialists) has been evaluated. After measuring the data, these data were classified and then analyzed by Fuzzy-AHP model for data analysis. The results show that variables such as real per capita income, number of branches and size of banks have a positive effect on bank deposits and inflation has a negative and significant effect on it, which indicates an increase in inflation leading to devaluation, hot money creation. And the outflow of money from banks and its conversion into capital assets and eventually the reduction of bank deposits will have a direct impact on GDP and capital. Manuscript profile

We can no longer expect that with economic and industrial development the environment remains intact, but the reduction of pollution and its harmful effects using high technology can ensure the health, growth and excellence of present and future life on Earth. Multi-criteria decision-making System (MCDM) has been used to improve decision-making and management process. The spatial information systems are suitable for spatial data analysis. Also, Geographic information systems have been used to properly determine suitable areas for industrial and mining activities and its impacts assessment on the environment. In this study, using ecological, economic and social criteria and their integration with MCDM and GIS, the study area based on its sensitivity to mining activities were mapped. Also Environmental considerations consists of impact of mining activities on the urban settlements, rural settlements, surface water, groundwater, wildlife habitat, agriculture, tourism and vegetation were analyzed. Based on zoning map of the sensitivity of the active area of ​​the mineral gypsum, range, interference within the mining and production zones were identified. The results showed that 15% of the mineral sector with a range of prohibited activities, 6% in the zone of extreme sensitivity, 11% in the zone of high sensitivity, and 58% moderate and 10% is located in the zone of low sensitivity. Which implies the fact that 26 of the total 52 mining operations across the range of prohibited activities that should be stopped. It has been elaborated that the priority for planning must be related to the management of this moderate sensitive zone. The survey also shown that two criteria consists of the agriculture area and surface water had the most interaction with the unsafe mineral activities.   Manuscript profile

        Plants are one of the first and most accessible sources of treatment. Today, the use of medicinal plants is increasing rapidly. Knowing the taste and approach of communities to taking medicinal plants, as well as paying attention to the views and suggestions of consumers of medicinal plants, can be a good guide for planners and policy makers of the country's pharmaceutical industry. The demand for medicinal plants is influenced by various cultural and social factors. This research was carried out with the aim of investigating the role of various social factors in the demand of medicinal plants and the impact of rangeland ecosystems on supplying plants in Isfahan. This research was carried out using a survey method. Data from this research was gathered through a questionnaire from 33 selleres of herbal medicine in Isfahan in 2015. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of experts. Cronbach's alpha coefficient equaled 0.877, which proved the credibility of the questionnaire. The results showed that Echium amoenum (57.6%) was purchased as the largest plant, and psychiatric and psychological disorders (79.2%) were the most common cause of referring people to Isfahan's herbal medicine stores. Also, the most medicinal plants purchased by seller of them, have been from rangeland habitats.   Manuscript profile

        Background and Objectives: Pollutant discharge from agricultural systems as a result if agricultural activities, is one of the factors for soil and water quality. Various soil and water remediation techniques including the use of chemical amendments have been applied to reduce the risks associated with these contaminants. This paper reviews the use of chemical amendments for immobilizing chemical amendments, the chemistry of contaminant immobilization, and environmental concerns associated with the use of these products.  Total Contents of heavy metal in the soils of polluted villages of Hashtrood city and determining the relationships of these metals and soil properties are the goals of this research.Material and Methodology: The commonly used chemical amendments were grouped into aluminum-, calcium-, and iron-containing products. Other products of interest include phosphorus-containing compounds and silicate clays.Results: Mechanisms of contaminant immobilization include one or a combination of the following: surface precipitation, adsorption to mineral surfaces (ion exchange and formation of stable complexes), precipitation as salts, and co-precipitation. Reviews of environmental implications revealed that undesirable substances such as trace elements, fluoride, sulfate, total dissolved solids, as well as radioactive materials associated with some industrial wastes used as amendment could be leached to ground water or lost through run off to receiving water bodies.Discussion and Conclusion: The acidity or alkalinity associated with some of the industrial-waste amendments could also constitute a substantial environmental hazard. Chemical amendments have elements capable of affecting the activities of certain microbes that could influence geochemical processes such as mineral dissolution and formation, weathering, and organic matter mineralization.  Manuscript profile

        Detection and recognition of traffic signs requires the use of classification algorithms, and they basically use visual information such as the shape and color of traffic signs. However, these algorithms face problems in real-time tests, and it is very difficult to achieve the detection of multiple targets, and it is necessary to accelerate the performance of the corresponding algorithms. Traffic sign recognition systems based on deep neural networks may have limitations in practical applications due to computational requirements and resource consumption. Most embedded systems interact directly with processes or the environment and make decisions based on their inputs. This makes the system reactive and responds in real-time to processing inputs to ensure proper operation. This paper presents a lightweight neural network for traffic sign recognition that achieves high accuracy and precision with fewer trainable parameters. To evaluate the efficiency and reliability of the proposed model based on convolutional neural network for traffic sign recognition, extensive experiments have been conducted on the GTSRB dataset. Also, the obtained results have been compared with several advanced architectures such as VGG16, MobileNetv2 and ResNet50. The results show that the proposed model has achieved good performance and emphasizes its potential for deploying real-time traffic sign recognition models and driving assistance systems. The computational efficiency and small size of the proposed model make it more practical and suitable for real-time traffic sign recognition. Manuscript profile

        The present article surveys the outlook to the systems theory and the status of its usage in analyzing the short stories. The personification and specially the relations between them at the beginning and the end of the story by emphasizing the systems theory has been studied in this article. Some results have been obtained including: 1. A story is a system generally; namely the systematic system. 2. A system may respond a single firm response to all outputs in a special case. 3. One of the most important factors is sensitivity. The function of some short stories lacks this sensitivity. 4. The other factor is the random variable. The probability of differ-ent events is equal. 5. There are some systems which the final behavior is dependant from the beginning; indeed the output is dependent from the input. 6. The other capability in systems is the system’s memory or intel-lectualism. That’s why some of the stories are understandable despite of their complexity. 7. The last factor is the tendency toward form rather than the prear-ranged patterns. Manuscript profile

        Although governments stem from the people’s will and their sustenance depend on their satisfaction, conflict between both sides in this transaction is inevitable. In this regard, the present study seeks to explain some behaviors of the governments as the more powerful side of the transactions which cause political conflicts and challenge the survival of the governments. To this aim, a descriptive-analytic method as well as historical documents and objective evidence were used to identify causes of political conflicts that come from the governments’ behavior. The research relies on the hypothesis that disorder in providing people’s basic needs, unreasonable beliefs and behaviors, and power imbalance are the main reasons for political conflicts. According to the obtained results, it seems that the beginning source of conflict between people and governments is the existence or perception of injustice. Furthermore, in a monoliteral power system where both the government as the more powerful side and people as the less powerful side seek to achieve scarce resources, usually the more powerful side takes steps to create a hegemonic system by using its opportunities. On the other hand, people who are fed up with mere obedience, always seek a chance to nullify this hegemony by any means. In general, it seems that the governments’ negligence to meet people’s needs can gradually increase dissatisfied groups in society and cause unreturnable political conflicts, especially when the government is supposed to make decisions to decrease social dissatisfaction or provide more privilege for people. It appears that the first step by the governments to control political conflict is to remove the perception of injustice in society through meeting people’s basic needs. In the next step, the governments should focus on increasing their legitimacy that requires creating freedom, in addition to maintaining their dignity and avoidance of violence. Finally, the governments ought to prevent the gradual growing of dissatisfaction in society and guide people’s energy towards participatory activities in order to avoid creation of conflicts. This issue requires the optimal conduction of the governments’ special act that is giving service to people.  Manuscript profile

        Ibn al-Hussam's Khavaran‌Name is a epopee that tells imaginary stories of the travels, heroic acts, and battles of Imam Ali (as) against the infidels. It  is often considered as an epic work due to its epic features, although the features of popular literature have become so prevalent that it has largely deviated from the classical Persian epics. This feature shows that Ibn Hussam had a direct connection with the masses. Based on this view, in the present article, an attempt has been made to determine the most important folk elements of this work and how they are used. To achieve this goal, first the mass beliefs and thoughts of the people, and then some folkloric features of the narrative are examined, and finally the use of the slang language in its  vocabulary is studied.  This research shows that the Khavaran‌Name is an artistic phenomenon that has originated from the life of the people and has been mixed with various manifestations of the mass life of the people in different ways. As a result, the dramatic crystallization of popular elements has made KhavaranName closer to popular literature. Manuscript profile

        Common methods of reducing signal distortion received at the output of telecommunication systems are generally based on linear methods. These methods have many limitations, including the inability to remove the noise inside the band. The purpose of this paper is to reduce distortion and reconstruction of received weak signal and pull it out of the noise sea. In this paper, we employed averaging method to reduce distortion and improve the received signal. The analysis is performed and simulated in several scenarios and results show that in a certain number of channels, increasing the number of repetitions usually increases the signal to noise. Also, as the amplitude decreases in different experiments, the signal-to-noise decreases with constant repetitions. If the received signal amplitude is more than half of the noise amplitude, the main signal is extracted. However, if the signal amplitude is less than half of the noise amplitude, the main signal will not be extracted. Manuscript profile

         The aim of the present study was to compare the brain- behavior systems, psychological hardiness and ambiguity tolerance in substance abusers and normal people. The study was a causal comparative research. Statistical population included all drug users in 2011 (1391s.c.) in the city of Urmia. 50 people were selected through cluster sampling from five drug rehabilitation centers in Urmia and 50 normal participants were matched with them. Data were collected with the Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire (GWPQ, 1989), Kubasa Personal Perspectives Survey Questionnaire (1970), and the Scale of Ambiguity Tolerance (Lin, 1993). Data were analyzed through multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Analysis of data showed that there were significant differences in brain behavioral systems, hardiness and ambiguity tolerance between substance abusers and normal group (P < 0.001). Substance abusers, scores in the behavioral inhibition system subscale, hardiness and ambiguity tolerance, were lower than the normal group but their scores in behavioral approach system were higher than the normal group.

        Today internationalization of higher education has been accompanied with issues such as rapid changes, rebuilding of programs, elimination of geographical borders, and access to the new information and technology. The aim of this article is to study and compare the efforts made by curriculum planners in different universities around the world for the internationalization of the higher education. This comparative &ndash; analytical study investigates different approaches for the internationalization of curriculum of the higher education (including strategies, programs, activities and methods of teaching and learning) in countries like the United States of America, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Findings include strategies, programs, activities for internationalization of higher education curriculum learning and teaching methods in each country. Comparison of four strategies of the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan showed that internationalizing the curriculum and learning strategies by embedding international content into their existing curricula is their most important strategy and teacher and student exchange programs receive less attention. Today, the internationalization of local and national curricula is of great importance. Manuscript profile

        The Rivers are more important sources of surface water and fresh water in urban, agricultural and industrial. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of pollutant sources on the water quality of river Zayandehroud using Geographic information systems (GIS). In this study, physicochemical data (Discharge, Hardness, Cl, EC, pH), (October 2010 to May 2011) were studied in 7 stations of Zayandehroud. A land use map of the surrounding environment was then investigated with a buffer 0f 10 km from center of the river. Considering the location of monitoring stations the key factors, distance to industrial unit and land use percentage within the station buffet were calculated using GIS. Data moves to SPSS&reg;19 for further statistical analysis. The results show that, at 451682.3 hectares of around buffer the river consisted; 40.9% agricultural and 8.1% urban development. We also found that the physicochemical parameters have a direct with the increase agricultural area around each station relationship. Also located industries in the area of Polkalleh to Chum stations such as south Isfahan refinery, have a significant relationship with water quality factors discussed in this study. So considering the protection importance of the Zayandehroud river, applying appropriate management on this river is essential, especially in the areas after the city. Implementation of appropriate treatment system for industrial wastewater, advised to farmers in the proper use of chemical fertilizers can be the appropriate solution. Manuscript profile

        Recommendation systems propose specific items to users based on their interests by analysis the user data. The main goal of this analysis is extraction of each user pattern to predict the interested items. One of the main well-known methods in recommender systems is collaborative filtering in which similarity measures are utilized to detect similar users to a new user. The challenging issues related to collaborative filtering are similarity and neighborhood detection. In this paper, nearest neighbor (NN) algorithm is used to detect similar neighbors to a new user. The proposed model, which is inspired by user-item method, the score of items is calculated based on a distance metric and the nearest neighbor is selected. In the presented work, we detect similar users using user-item matrix and the Euclidean distance. The proposed method is evaluated on Movielens dataset which includes 1682 items and evaluation metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-measure, Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) are measured. MAE of the proposed method is 0.7351 which is less than Pearson and Cosine similarities, which demonstrates the superior performance of the proposed method in similarity detection and prediction.

        Introduction:&nbsp; Load distribution analysis is a fundamental and basic study for all power networks, including distribution networks, which are used in steady-state conditions. Power system planning and operation, power network reorganization, and many optimization studies require a large number of load distribution calculations in normal and emergency situations. Due to the nonlinearity of the system of load distribution equations, it is necessary to use iterative solution methods to solve it. In addition, due to a large number of power grid buses, matrix algebra is used. Some of these applications require fast iterative solutions of load distribution and therefore it is very important that load distribution analysis is performed efficiently. A number of load distribution algorithms are specifically designed for distribution systems. One of these methods considers bus voltages as state variables and works based on an iterative algorithm and uses special methods to increase convergence.Method: The proposed algorithm of this paper called SDLF in this article does not need special matrices and complex programming. In this method, load distribution can be achieved easily with only a simple vector that shows the priority of buses, which we call BPV, and by using the forward-backward sweeper algorithm. It is worth mentioning that the BPV vector itself is extracted from the network topology. This work can be done both visually from the electrical diagram of the network and from the data matrix of network D by MATLAB software.&nbsp;Finding: In terms of the convergence of the solution, increasing the repetition has led to an increase in accuracy, and as a result, the 10th repetition has been chosen as a relatively accurate result to confirm the validity of the method, considering the required engineering precision. The obtained results show that even in the first iteration, an acceptable accuracy for the voltage range has been obtained. In steady state analysis of power networks, the voltage amplitude is more important than the voltage phase. The noteworthy point is that in calculating the voltage phase, it is not necessary to update its value in each step, and it is enough to calculate the voltage phase after obtaining the voltage ranges.&nbsp;Conclusion: In this article, a new method called SDLF is introduced to study the load distribution of distribution networks. The results of the implementation of the proposed method, with an acceptable engineering error, can be used in the common applications of power networks in the first iteration, and based on this, it can be used as an online load distribution in SCADA systems. The effectiveness of the method was checked on the test network of 33 IEEE buses in the text of the article and its validity was confirmed. The introduction of the BPV bus priority vector made it possible to avoid using complex matrices and additional calculations and to reduce the time of load distribution calculations.

        Introduction: In this paper, we introduce the ParsAirCall toolkit, which is a tool for automatic recognition of Persian numbers in airport systems. It leverages deep transfer learning to improve performance in real and operational scenarios of voice-controlled smart telephone systems at airports across the country. In today&#039;s world, with the advancements in artificial intelligence, traditional systems for interacting with callers in telephone calls are not efficient, and this efficiency will be enhanced through automation and the automation of repetitive tasks. Method: ParsAirCall distinguishes itself by surpassing competing models in the Persian language, achieving heightened accuracy with fewer parameters and optimized computing resources. Addressing the challenge posed by limited data for Persian speech recognition, we meticulously curated a 30-hour telephony dataset, serving as the cornerstone for training the final ParsAirCall model. Embracing the innovative QuartzNet architecture, our deep transfer learning strategy empowers ParsAirCall to capture nuanced features in Persian speech, ensuring superior performance in number recognition tasks associated with airport telephone calls. Results: Experiments were conducted on both our collected telephony dataset and the Common Voice project, demonstrating ParsAirCall&rsquo;s efficiency in achieving a 2.7% WER (Word Error Rate) in number recognition in airport telephone calls. Discussion: ParsAirCall emerges as a versatile tool, poised for seamless integration as a service into any Persian-language airport telephone system. Its practical application extends to number recognition in airport call centers, exemplifying the transformative impact of advanced technologies in streamlining communication processes within critical operational environments. ParsAirCall can be easily integrated as a service into any Persian-language airport telephone system, making it a practical tool for number recognition in airport call centers and telephone systems. Our innovations in this article will be as follows: &bull; Using transfer learning, we presented a monolingual Persian speech recognition system to recognize Iranian cities. &bull; Compared to other architectures developed for the Persian language, it performs better. &bull; Considering our goal for operational use in call centers, ParsAirCall is optimized in terms of hardware resource consumption and processing load. &bull; The final ParsAirCall solution has been implemented and optimized in Farsi language for use in call centers and conversational artificial intelligence.

        Introduction: Recommender systems are intelligent tools to help users find their desired information among a large number of choices based on their previous preferences in a way faster than search engines. One of the main challenges in recommender systems is the sparsity of the user-item rating matrix. This means that users mainly tend to express their opinions about a few items, leading to a large portion of the user-item rating matrix being empty. Trust-based recommender systems aim to alleviate the sparsity problem using trust relationships between users. Trust relationships can be used to calculate similarity values between users and determine the nearest neighbors set for the target user. However, the efficiency of trust-based recommender systems depends on the correct selection of neighboring users for the target user based on the similarity values between users. Method: In this paper, a novel trust-based recommender system is proposed based on an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm. To this end, first, the similarity values between users are calculated based on the user-item rating matrix and trust relationships. Then, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimally weight the neighboring users of the target user. The main purpose of this algorithm is to assign an optimal weight to each user in the nearest neighbor set of the target user to predict the unknown items accurately. After the optimal weighting of neighboring users, unknown ratings are predicted for the target user. Results: The proposed method is evaluated on a standard dataset in terms of mean absolute error, root mean square error, and rate coverage metrics. Experimental results demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed method compared to other methods. Discussion: We use the genetic algorithms operators and chaos-based asexual reproduction optimization algorithm to improve the original version of the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The genetic algorithms operators increase the exploration mechanism of the particle swarm optimization algorithm, leading to a decline in the probability of tapping into local optima. Moreover, the chaos-based asexual reproduction optimization algorithm is applied to the best solution to further search the area around the best solution. Manuscript profile

        Introduction: Flocking is a type of collective behavior which is observed in the nature. In the design of a flocking algorithm, it should be ensured connectivity of agents’ network and the collision avoidance, and velocities convergence of agents to that of virtual leader. In practice due to the limitations in the measurement and control units, it is often impossible to ensure the continuity of information. Thus, the study of the flocking problem under the sampled data frameworks is indispensable. However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are very few works on the sampled-data flocking. On the other hand, in many practical applications, the multi-agent systems are controlled through some communication networks. The transmitted data among agents could be easily exploited by adversaries due to the open network links among sensors, controllers and actuators. Since in practice often the attacks are capable to destroy a number of edges within the network or cause to collide among agents, the study of networked system under the cyber-attacks is very important. In the cyber-attacks, successful but recoverable attacks have attracted more attention. Successful attacks refer to a class of attacks by which the network is broken dow n into a group of isolated clusters. Recoverable attacks refer to a class of attacks that the network can recover from after a period of time. In this paper, we study the sampled-data flocking of multi-agent systems under the successful but recoverable network attacks. Method: Here, defining a new discrete-time energy function we prove the asymptotic velocity convergence of agents to the velocity of virtual leader. Then, through the upper bound of the energy function, we find an upper bound for the sampling period such that the connectivity of network is preserved and collision is avoided, and also, the velocity convergence is ensured. After that, we modify the algorithm for application in cyber-attacks. Results: We show that under our proposed sampled-data algorithm, no link is lost from initial network, no collision is occurred among agents, and the velocity convergence of agents to that of virtual leader is ensured. Also, demonstrate the proposed algorithm is applicable for the flocking under the attack problem. Manuscript profile

        Maintaining the voltage profile of the power system within the appropriate bound has been a key factor for the proper operation of system equipment, especially during disturbances. However, due to the uncertainty of the load powers and the limitation in equipment ratings, achieving this goal has become a challenge. High voltage substations play an important role in voltage control, because these substations can be a primary connection point between the high voltage transmission network and the distribution system. The nature of local voltage control, the variety of control tools and the interaction between them, have made this type of control difficult. In this paper, a centralized voltage/reactive power control method is presented based on phasors measured by PMUs installed in grid substations. In this method, the tap changing of transformers and step switching of capacitor banks have been determined by the central controller based on system voltages and network equations. In addition, the appropriate values of the operating point of the generators have been carried out based on economic dispatch in each period of optimization. The consistent and efficiency of the proposed method have been investigated through simulation in MATLAB software environment. Manuscript profile

        In this article, a comprehensive two-stage framework for conducting competitive energy and ancillary services markets in transmission and distribution networks is presented. In the first and second stages of the proposed framework, energy and ancillary services markets are held, respectively. In the proposed framework, the suppliers of spinning reserve market capacities are conventional thermal units, while the suppliers of regulation market capacities are fast response generators, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and demand response aggregators. A linear AC power flow program is included in the proposed framework to verify the applicability of the simulation results in real operating conditions. The introduced framework is modeled as a linear optimization problem in which the objective function of each stage is solved separately. This framework is implemented on a test system that includes a 30-bus transmission network connected to four 8-bus distribution networks, and the CPLEX solver in GAMS software is used to simulate it. The simulation outputs clearly confirm that the participation of resources within the distribution networks in providing spinning reserve capacities significantly reduces the share of expensive thermal units in the market and thereby lowers the daily costs of the system. Moreover, the simulation outputs indicate that the participation of demand response aggregators, energy storage systems and electric vehicles in providing regulation market capacities, not only lowers the costs of this market but also significantly improves technical indicators such as voltage characteristics.

        Providing electricity to critical electrical loads in all conditions is one of the important goals facing designers and operators of power systems. On the other hand, power systems are always exposed to various events and disasters. The ability to face these events and disasters in power systems is brought up with the concept of resilience. In this article, improving the resilience of distribution networks is pursued. For this purpose, the expansion of fixed and portable energy storage systems in distribution networks has been carried out to keep distribution networks resilience. Due to the importance of providing the critical loads, meeting the critical loads is considered as the main resilience criterion. The proposed model is formulated as a mixed integer linear optimization problem. Minimization of costs is considered as the objective function and fulfillment of restrictions in normal and resilience conditions of the network are considered as the constraints of the problem. In this model, the distribution network is divided into several separate zones and the fulfillment of critical loads in the zones is followed by the available resources and energy storage systems. The results of studies on the test network show the ability of portable energy storage systems to meet the requirements of network resilience. Manuscript profile

        Climate change and its possible impacts on the environment and socio-economic systems now constitute the most important environmental problem facing mankind in the 21st century. Climate change will increase poverty and hardship, endanger food security, destabilize economies, decrease food and water and create social insecurity in many countries and undermine our goals for achieving sustainable development. An in-depth analysis was carried out on the nature and characteristics of climatic changes and the roles of renewable energy and energy efficiency in combating the threat of climate change especially in relation to mitigation measures. Energy policy is therefore becoming an increasingly important tool for medium and long term planning to mitigate GHG emissions and to adapt to climate change especially in the developing countries. This paper highlights the fact that research efforts for the rest of the 21st century be directed towards harnessing renewable energies like the solar, wind and geothermal energies to replace the present day burning of fossil fuel energy for lighting, heating, cooling, manufacturing, cooking, transport, entertainment, etc. This will help to reduce the emission of green house gases (GHGs) and ozone depletion and in the long run the global warming effect.

        The Tareek Darreh gold deposit is located 40km north of Torbat-e Jaam in the Khorassan-Razavi province, NE-Iran. The study area mainly comprises slightly metamorphosed, sedimentary rocks of Jurassic age including alternation of shale, siltstone, and sandstone. These rocks have been intruded by plutonic rocks such as gabbro-norite, diorite, quartz-diorite, and rhyodacite. The ore bodes are exposed by trenching and pitting .In this study, all trenches and pits were systematically sampled and analysed by XRF, XRD, and ICP methods as well as petrological mineralogical studies. The alteration minerals of quartz, chlorite, albite, and sericite are mostly observed on the top or margin of the stocks. Alteration is more intensive at the contacts of the stocks where vein type mineralization has occurred. The veins are mainly composed of silica type and calcite type, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite main ore minerals. Four promising mineralization zones were selected for further studies. The analytical results for the zones No. 2 and No. 4 confirm high gold, copper, bismuth, tellurium, and silver. In zone No. 2 (50 x 80 m2) an average of 3.5ppm gold was recorded for one of the trenches, while in zone No. 4 (50 x 250m2) the average gold content is 1.35ppm. According to our studies, The Tareek Darreh gold deposit is considered to be similar to the \"intrusion-related gold systems\". Manuscript profile

        In a supply chain network, implementing a sound management system in the process of shipment can lead to lower costs and increase customer satisfaction by improving the flow of products. Therefore, in this study, a multi-objective mathematical model was presented and solved to optimize the vehicle routing problem by locating the warehouse in the green supply chain while simultaneously receiving and delivering goods. The main limitations considered in this model include manufacturers' capacity, vehicle capacity, vehicle selection based on green supply chain criteria, vehicle routing and cross-stock warehouse location to minimize costs and fuel consumption and reduce pollution. In this case, the goods received from suppliers will be delivered to customers on the route after being categorized in a cross-stock warehouse or delivered directly to customers if necessary. It is assumed that product pickup and delivery are allowed on a single route and there is also a planning horizon for receiving products on the go. In general, the model aims to determine the best route in the green supply chain mode and the optimal number of vehicles used in the distribution network so that the total operating and relocation costs are minimized. The proposed model was validated using Gams software and Comprehensive Criterion Method and the results were evaluated in accordance with the articles presented in this efficient field and compared to similar articles.

        The country's aviation industry, consisting of aero manufacturing and support companies, is known as the main hub for the maintenance and construction of airfields. Companies that operate and maintain aircraft within the country had no problem with the maintenance and repair of airplanes flying inland and could solve the technical problems of aircrafts with the facilities at their disposal, But after imposing cruel US and Western sanctions, these companies faced problems with supplying the parts and equipment needed to repair the aircraft, which must be acknowledged to be a major problem. Restrictions on access to booklets and technical back-up documents also exacerbated this important issue. Given that the country's air fleet can be one of the most strategic pillars of the country in the fields of transportation, defense, etc., then a solution must be found to solve this problem. In this research, we have tried to present a roadmap for achieving this goal by interpreting the problem and modeling it through a soft systems approach, using an interpretive structuring approach, so that the country's aviation industry can at this point in time. That should lead to self-sufficiency and guidance. Manuscript profile

        . In this research, a new model for evaluating capacity policies based on new product orders, financial inventory and budget based on dynamic systems is presented. The scope of research is the National Iranian Gas Company. The data obtained through exploratory interviews were selected from the experts of the National Iranian Gas Company. Their effects on each other were extracted and after expressing the dynamics hypothesis, a sample of the related cause-effect was prepared. After plotting the causal loops and in order to analyze the parameters involved in the model, the flow accumulation diagram was drawn. The designed model was implemented and the behavior of the variables was investigated and then the model was validated. The model includes four sections: orders, production, research and development of capacity building and the financial section. The results showed that the company adjusts its production capacity and inventory level by considering the order rate received from customers and considered the output of its product with the attitude of no stock output and as you saw in the model with this approach was able to Match production capacity and inventory level with market needs.

        Regarding the fact that companies implement different information systems in their organizations, there is an increasing need to integrate this information. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is both a database and an application which integrates the business activities of a company to ensure integrated business processes. So far, only a few empirical studies have been conducted in order to determine the key factors in implementing ERP. The present study examines the factors influencing the successful implementation of ERP experimentally and its results are presented. Using a standard questionnaire distributed among 12 companies that implement ERP in Iran, the experiences of managers, staffs, and professionals in implementing, ERP and its pros and cons were collected; the data were analyzed through the SPSS software using t-tests and Friedman ANOVA. Based on the literature, 10 potential factors in implementing ERP have determined: system selection criteria, consultant selection criteria, supplier selection criteria, principles of project management, re-engineering process, human resources development, Chief Executive Officer&nbsp; (CEO) support, cost and budget, IT structure, and consulting services. The results of the study show that all ten mentioned factors have a significant relationship with successful ERP implementation. Among these factors, CEO support is the most significant factor in implementing successful ERP, while the cost was identified as the least important factor. Furthermore, the variables of CEO support, re-engineering process, and project management has caused the greatest customer satisfaction in ERP implementation. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Applying any kind of manufacturing strategy, on the one hand, needs to identify and monitor the current state of the system at the internal and external levels. On the other hand, it needs to provide strategies for improving the system. In this paper, a three-step manufacturing strategic model introduced by using Miltenburg model and focusing on five manufacturing strategic goals (production system, manufacturing outputs, manufacturing leverage, production capabilities and competitive analysis). First, the production system determined based on four indicators of production&rsquo;s volume and variety, kind of plant layout and material flow. Then, six manufacturing levers (human resources, organizational control, and structure, sourcing, production planning and control, process technology and facilities) determined and capabilities of each one evaluated. &nbsp;Next, manufacturing outputs (delivery, cost, quality, performance) have been prioritized using the analytic hierarchy process technique to identify characteristics of the favorable production system. Furthermore, competitive analysis applied to verify the position of the company and its competitors in the market. In the final step, considering the results of previous steps, improvement strategies have been formulated so that the production system will change to the favorable system. If the current system needs basic changes, the improvement process will be operational by focusing on improving the manufacturing levers. In order to display the capabilities of the proposed model, a mineral water company was selected as a case study. The results showed that the company's production system is Equipment-paced line flow production system (EPL( and the company's strategic output (calculated by AHP) is the cost. Achieving manufacturing strategy, objectives of the organization and competitive analysis were conducted. Results showed that the current manufacturing system must change from ELP to the continuous flow manufacturing system. Furthermore, adjusting the manufacturing levers is necessary - particularly human resources- to implement the new proposed system, effectively. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to predict teachers' innovative behavior based on irrational beliefs and system thinking. Method: The present study is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population include 1340 teachers of all elementary schools in Birjand city in the academic year of 2016-2017. The sample consisted of 297 teachers selected by random cluster sampling. The instruments were three questionnaires, Palma&rsquo;s systems Thinking, Bernard&rsquo;s Irrational Beliefs and Counter&rsquo;s Innovative Behavior. For analyzing data, multiple regression, one-sample t-test and structural equation modeling were used. Findings: The results showed that systemic thinking and innovative behavior of teachers were higher than average. The results also showed that among the components of system thinking, only continuous learning was predictive of teachers' irrational beliefs (p &lt;0.05). On the other hand, continuous learning more than recognizing mental models can predict their innovative behavior (p &lt;0.01). Also, among the components of irrational beliefs, attitudes toward students more than school attitude and low tolerance can predict the innovative behavior of teachers (p &lt;0.01). Conclusion: According to the results of the research on explaining the teachers' innovative behavior based on their system thinking and their irrational beliefs, and since irrational beliefs are also predictable based on system thinking, it is necessity for manager and in-service designer to improve teachers' systemic thinking to reduce their irrational beliefs and improve the innovative behavioral of teachers.

        Many software applications today are designed based on multi-agent concept. These applications which need to work non-stop and continuos for a long period are prone to errors. Therefore, they are required to be fault tolerant as much as possible. Most of fault-tolerant methods provided for multi-agent systems are based on replicating the number of agents which leads to more complexity in these systems. In this paper we used task replication along with increasing numbers of agents in MaSE methodology to have a reliable architecture with high fault tolerante capability for multi-agent systems.

        In distributed systems, due to performing remote procedure calls, there is the possibility of generating orphan processes. Actually orphan processes are remote computations which their callers are crashed for any reason. The existence of orphan computations are not desirable because they waist resources and also there is the possibility that they see inconsistent situations in shared data. In this paper, a new approach in order to detect and eliminate orphan processes is presented. Proposed approach has significant advantages over existing methods in this area. The main advantages of this method are as follows: detection and elimination of all remote children and grandchildren of orphan process, few numbers of communication messages, no decrease in efficiency, load balancing and increase in fault tolerance.

        This research attempts to select the suitable areas for tourism development using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and Ecological capability evaluation. It regulates the relationship between socio-economic impacts and land use changes to monitor the sustainable development and determines the potential or types of use that land can naturally have. In this research, in order to identify the environmental potential of Shahrood County for tourism, GIS as the best suitable technique for land evaluation and site feasibility was used along with Index Overlaying (IO). Thus by identifying the ecological resources of the region, in a scale of 1:250000, map layer information was dispatched to the ArcGIS to overlay. This research was done in 6 stages. After preparing the slope, aspect and elevation layers, they were overlaid in ArcGIS and the landform layer was produced. Then, the overlaying of landform, land use, soil, vegetation and wildlife layers resulted in the final environmental units. After that, the ecological models of extensive and intensive tourism in Iran were used for comparison and analysis. According to the results, the study area has high potential for tourism. The suitable area for intensive outdoor recreation encompassed 68.8% of the area associated with class 1 and 19.1% with class 2; and extensive outdoor recreation included 93.2% class 1 and 5.3% class 2. In addition to this, 13.6% of study area was allocated to conservation because no part of this area is suitable for tourism activities. In the end, appropriate activities for each zone are recommended. Manuscript profile

        AbstractThis research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of emotion regulation training on readiness for boredom, belief in a just world, and brain-behavioral systems in adolescents with a tendency towards risky behaviors. The current research was semi-experimental and pre-test-post-test with control group. The statistical population of the research was all male adolescents living in the Sari Correctional Center in 2022, of which 30 people were selected by purposeful sampling and randomly replaced in two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group underwent 8 training sessions on emotion regulation skills, and the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the study. The research tools were the questionnaires of tendency towards risky behaviors by Zadeh Mohammadi et al. (2011), preparedness for boredom by Fallman et al. (2013), belief in a just world by Sutton and Douglas (2005) and brain-behavior systems by Carver and White (1994). Research data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance and using SPSS software version 24. The results showed that emotion regulation skill training has an effect on readiness for boredom, belief in a just world, and brain-behavior systems in adolescents with a tendency towards risky behaviors (P&lt;0.05). The results of the research indicated that the skill of emotion regulation through the techniques of changing cognitive evaluations, teaching the expression and discharge of emotions and re-evaluation leads to a decrease in boredom, an increase in the belief in a just world and behavioral inhibition systems in adolescents with a tendency towards risky behaviors.

        In recent years, with the rise in research interest in new functional polymer materials and nanotechnology, drug delivery vehicles have become the focus of clinical medicine, especially for cancer treatment. Hydrogels, especially smart hydrogels, have received increasing attention due to their low toxicity, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Recent decades have witnessed numerous successful examples of hydrogel applications as anticancer drug delivery vehicles. Hydrogel carriers can cause fewer side effects than systemic chemotherapy, and these carriers also enable stable delivery of the drug to tumor sites. Intelligent hydrogels can respond to the environmental stimuli. Todays some internal and external stimuli are widely utilized for designing smart hydrogels for cancer therapies. smart hydrogels can undergo degradation or conformational changes under temperature, light, pH, redox potential, magnetic field and ultrasound stimulation, which can be utilized to achieve high drug delivery efficiency for in situ cancer treatment. In this research, the different sizes of hydrogels used for cancer treatment and their related delivery routes, the design strategies for stimuli- responsive hydrogels and the research concerning smart hydrogels reported in the past few years have been studied. In recent years, with the rise in research interest in new functional polymer materials and nanotechnology, drug delivery vehicles have become the focus of clinical medicine, especially for cancer treatment.

        Municipalities are among the organizations that play an important role in the development of cities and the expansion of civic areas. Today, one of the most important issues for municipalities is creating sustainable sources of income and financing municipal services. Also, one of the biggest problems of the municipality is the reduction of the relative share of sustainable revenues, which will reduce the power of long-term and sustainable planning of this urban institution. In this research, as an applied research, the dynamics of municipal revenues, both stable and unstable, have been investigated using system dynamics. The use of systems dynamics method made it possible to study the causal relationships affecting the issue under study and by modeling the conditions prevailing in municipalities, it was possible to provide solutions to improve the current situation. The simulation results on one of the districts of Tehran Municipality show that with the continuation of the current situation, the share of stable municipal revenues will increase from 5% to only 21% in 1404. This is while the percentage of fulfillment of municipal revenue obligations reaches about 5% in 1404. Based on the simulation results in different scenarios, paying attention to the development of waste recycling infrastructure and focusing on increasing the collection of municipal toll revenues can increase the percentage of sustainable municipal revenues by up to 45%. The proposed model can be used as a basis for decisions of municipal managers to strengthen sustainable revenue sources and reduce costs. Manuscript profile

        Need to create within organizational and inter-organizational integration in the supply chain environment and extensive changes in the field of technology and information systems have been the main factors in the formation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. One of the factors for the success of the implementation of these systems and also the main purpose of this study is to correctly identify the risks in the three phases before, during and after the implementation of ERP systems in the study industry, then evaluate the risks obtained and it is appropriate to respond them. Literature reviewed and 52 factors were identified as failure factors of ERP projects. Then, with purposive sampling methodology were interviewed by six experts in the field of ERP systems, which adjusted the risk indicators and achieved 40 risk indicators. A questionnaire was used to collect data to analyze the risk values and data were analyzed by SPSS and Excel software. This paper examines a practical approach to using the risk matrix to assess the risks of ERP implementation in the upstream steel industry. This approach supports key project stakeholders such as the employer, contractor and consultant to meet their obligations and minimize the negative effects on ERP project performance in terms of cost, time and quality objectives . Finally, the risks were divided into three levels: Critical (unacceptable), High (significant) and Medium, and the strategy for dealing with them was described in three categories: Risk avoidance, Active acceptance and Transfer.

        The potential of human capital can help the organization to achieve dynamism and transformation, achieving this goal is possible with the development of human capital in the organization. The axis of development is the education of the staff and its realization requires a change in the consciousness, attitude and behavior of human resources. Therefore, this research has been conducted to provide a model for the development of human capital in Iranian government agencies. The statistical population of the research is the governmental organizations of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the experts of the organization were selected as the statistical sample based on specific circumstances and were considered for answering questions and conducting necessary interviews. The boundary between the system and the relationships between them was determined by the experts and then attempted to simulate the dynamic systems model in the software environment. The results showed that among the 9 scenarios, the scenario "Improvement of Trust, Mutual Outside Organizations and Knowledge in the Organization" was a strong scenario and finally, the "Improvement of Staff Ability" scenario was identified as the most attractive scenario for this research. Government agencies for human capital development can work in line with improving staffing abilities. Because of the fact that there are two objective and objective facets, this factor can provide employees both psychologically and in terms of enhancing the experience, skills and knowledge required in the light of appropriate and timely training in relation to their duties.

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

        To compare yields of mung bean under different nutrition (Chemical, Biological and Integrated) and tillage systems a split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2015. Treatments consisted of 3 levels of tillage systems (no-tillage, conservation tillage and conventional tillage) and 4 levels of plant nutritions (inoculated with mycorrhiza + 50% nitrogen, 50% nitrogen without mycorrhizal inoculation, mycorrhizal inoculation +100 percent nitrogen, without inoculation with mycorrhiza + 50% nitrogen). The results showed that plant nutrient sources affected yield significantly. The highest grain yield (1510.03 kg.ha-1) was obtaind by using conservation tillage, 50% nitrogen and mycorhizal seed inoculation. This yield was 50% more than conventional tillage and nitrogen fertilizer and mycorrhizal seed inoculation which was 934.1 kg.ha-1. The highest protein yield (24.99 kg.ha-1) belonged to conventional tillage, 50 percent of nitrogen use and mycorrhizal inoculation, which is 100% (13.33 kg.ha-1) more than conventional tillage and nitrogen fertilizer with 50 percent of mycorrhizal inoculation. In general, the results showed that the use of tillage did not have significant effect on most of the traits. This result could be different if this experiment would be continued for several years. These results indicated that mycorrhizal seed inoculation reduced the need for nitrogen fertilizer, while increased seed yield. Manuscript profile

        To study the effects of multiple cropping systems on some characteristics of paddy field soil, this experiment was conducted by using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications at the Agricultural Research Center of Mazandaran for two years during 2009 - 2011 cropping seasons. The treatments consisted of four multiple cropping systems as: maize &ndash; clover - rice, maize &ndash; canola - rice, maize &ndash; broad been - rice and fallow - rice which were assigned to the plots. Results showed that pH and EC, were not significantly affected by multiple cropping systems, but the effect of multiple cropping systems on available organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium were significant. The highest OM, total N and available P of paddy soil were obtained after maize &ndash; clover &ndash; rice.Highest available K was also obtained after fallow &ndash; rice cropping systems. The minimum OM, N, P and K content of paddy soil belonged to maize &ndash; canola &ndash; rice cropping system. Based on the climate and soil conditions of paddy fields in Mazandaran maize - clover &ndash; rice cropping system increased production and soil fertility more than other cropping systems.

        Drought is one of the most important environmental stresses that highly affect crop growth and yield. But the response of crops to stress depending on the timing of crop growth stages is different. The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of different levels of water stress (irrigation after 50, 80, 110, 140 and 170 mm evaporation from pan) on different stages of Amaranth growth (establishment, branching, flowering and grain filling). To find the effects of water deficit stress on this plant it was decided to determine its protein percentage, oil and grain yields under drought stress. Evaluation of physiological characteristics as to the extent of osmotic adjustment and antioxidant activity was also carried out. Results showed that water deficit stress,depending on the severity and duration of stress, caused a reduction between between a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 89 percent in yield, 28 to 70 percent in harvest index, 12 to 32 percent in grain protein and 29 to 97 percent in oil yield. This indicates the high sensitivity of grain and oil yields to severe and prolonged drought stresses. Changes in osmotic substances (proline and soluble carbohydrates) showed that this crop under water stress conditions increased proline and soluble carbohydrates by 31 and 50 percents, respectively. Thus, if could be said that under severe droughts the ability of crops to cops with drought will be reduced. Similarly, amaranth, to cope with water stress, increases the amount of antioxidant enzymes like catalase, peroxidase and super oxid dismutase up to 53, 23 and 79%, respectively. Higher amount of super oxid dismutase enzyme produce as the result of drought stress may play an important role to cope with reactive oxygen species and oxidative stresses. Manuscript profile

        To study the effect of different organic and chemical fertilizers on weed biomass and some characteristics of safflower, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was done at the Urmia University Reaearch Farm in 2013. Treatments consisted of growing of cover crops (red clover, grass pea, hairy, bitter vetch) along with the safflower rows and two weed control treatments (with and without weed) as a first factor and application of organic manure (cattle manure+biofertilizer) and the different nitrogen and phosphuros fertilizer levels (100 % of recommended chemical fertilizer, 67 and 63 % of recommended N and P, 50 and 40 % of recommended N and P) as second factor. Results showed that the biomass yield of broad and narrow leaf weeds affected by the combined treatments of cover crops and use of fertilizers. The biomass yield of broad and narrow leaf weeds were redused by 74.78, 82.22% under vetch cover crop when 50 and 40% of recommended N and P fertilizers were used, in comparison with sole culture of safflower and use of 100% of recommended chemical fertilizers. The maximum of seed yield (3431 kg.ha-1) and biological yield (8239 kg.ha-1) of safflower obtained from using 100% of recommended chemical fertilizers and without growing cover crops. Results, as a whole, showed that at higher levels of chemical fertilizers the competitive effects of weeds on safflower were higher than lower levels of fertilizers. Manuscript profile

        Rapid urbanization has led to changes in land use in urban areas. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of urbanization on land use change in Tehran using systemic thinking in order to gain a better understanding of the consequences of urbanization. The city is a complex, open, and dynamic system, the study of which requires an interdisciplinary approach. The system dynamics approach provides these requirements to address the city. Therefore, a dynamic model will be designed, which will be quantitatively evaluated using the system dynamics approach. This study showed that with the increase in the population of Tehran, the use of agricultural and open land gradually changed until 1404 and it is predicted that the land used for construction will increase. This is the first study that examines the relationship between the phenomenon of urbanization and land use change in Tehran metropolis and is innovative in this respect. Manuscript profile

        One of the clear cut characteristics of the Middle East is that its components have similar politico-historical fate. This common fate, to a large extent, has been influenced by the role played by imperialism, religion and common customs and cultures that have left their impact on the political structure of the countries in the region. The un-matching structures of the authoritarian regimes concurrent with the expansion of communications between different political unites are prone to politico-social changes. In order to overcome the crisis some of the political systems of the Middle East have tried to bring about reforms under surface in their political structures. Reforms in the Middle East have a history as old as the region itself but unfortunately these reforms, despite their needs, had neither taken roots nor had followed a forward trend. Having said that, the absence of democracy is one of the important problems of the region which has caught the attention of many experts. Although a lot of efforts have been made to resolve this problem (slow movement towards democracy), unfortunately not much success has been achieved. Manuscript profile

        Digital and software systems are undoubtedly the vital force governing the information society. As it plays a huge role in the economy and employment of the society in the present era, with the expansion of its application in various aspects of life, the category of defects and disadvantages has also arisen in this field. And the software in Islamic jurisprudence, the subject laws of Iran and Europe" and the result is that: the obligation of safety can be obtained from the works of Islamic jurists, because their emphasis is on production without harm and such discussions can be discovered under jurisprudential rules. The presence of safe goods in the market of any countries is necessary for the health and general well-being of the citizens living in that country, therefore the right to safety and having safe digital and software systems is granted among the human rights and also the basic rights of every consumer. Considering the extreme importance of the right to safety, special attention has been paid to this right in the consumer protection laws of Iran and Europe, and various arrangements have been made to guarantee its observance by suppliers - both manufacturers and distributors. At the international level, especially in the European Union, a lot of effort has been made to realize this purpose. However, the situation in our country is somehow different and the existing regulations are not in any ways adequate to the purpose. Manuscript profile

        One of the important topics in the field of information technology is hacking information systems, i.e. finding the security vulnerabilities of a system to infiltrate and access its information, which can be done with different motives and can follow desirable or undesirable consequences at both individual and public levels and in different fields. This is why hackers are classified into different types, such as white hats, gray hats, and black hats. The purpose of this descriptive-analytic research is to investigate the legitimacy of hacking in Islamic jurisprudence. The findings of the present study show that hacking does not have the same jurisprudential results and varies based on the intentions and actions of the hackers. &nbsp;White hat hackers are legitimate, but black hat hackers are illegitimate. The most important component in analyzing the legitimacy of a hack is "more expediency" and the most important factor in its illegality is "unauthorized violation of the rights of others". Hence, if for the most important expediency, there is no other way but to hack information systems, action is not forbidden. Manuscript profile

        In the information era, information technology development has made it possible for managers to study environment with more confidence. But the role of information systems in strategic planning process and compiling and fulfilling strategies is not clear. This essay analyses the effect of marketing information systems on the efficiency of marketing strategic planning process and its elements in Iranian banks. In the conceptual model of this research, goal setting, situational analysis, regulating goals and strategies and resource allocation are considered as the basic elements of marketing strategic planning process, and time, contents and form of information are the outputs of marketing information systems. The case study of this research for presenting quantitative results includes the country&rsquo;s banks (except Central Bank). The results obtained from the views of senior managers or the experts of the banks&rsquo; R&amp;D departments, which were collected through the use of the questionnaire designed merely for this purpose indicate that the outputs of marketing information systems have great effects on the efficiency of marketing strategies planning. The results of linear trend analyses show that the variables of information contents explain the changes of the elements of strategic planning process the most, and the form of information explain it the least. Among the elements of strategic planning process, situational analysis and resource allocation are affected by the outputs of marketing information systems the most while its effect on goal setting, regulating goals and compiling strategies is the least.

        In this Research , Activity-Based Costing (ABC) system was used in the forging company and the similar companies for calculating the cost of the products and also presenting the proper information to help the managers take proper decisions. So, first of all, the available costing of the company was analyzed and then the cost of the product was calculated according to the existing system of the company. After these steps, we proceeded to design the ABC system appropriate for the company. For this&nbsp; purpose,the various activities which were taken in the production and services units were identified and classified in four levels as the activity, the product unit , the product band and the factory. Afterwards,the cost of ptoduct was calculated according to ABC method,and the cost of product in both methods was compared. The results are as follows: The activity-based costing system causes more precise and accurate allotment of the overhead expenses in Iran Tractor Forging company. So, the cost of the materials and wages is directly allocated to the products as it is used in the traditional method. And another result which was obtained from this system is the difference in the gross profit for each product. The hypotheses of this research include : Main hypothesis&nbsp;&nbsp; : There is the possibility of ABC system use in the company. Secondary hypothesis 1: There is a difference between unit cost according&nbsp; to activity-based costing and traditional system. Secondary hypothesis 2: There is a difference between unit gross income according to activity based costing system and traditional system. In this research the statistical method T-test was used besides the results gained from the analysis and comparison of the ABC system and traditional system.The main conclusion is that the&nbsp; secondary hypotheses 1 and 2 are rejected,and the main hypothesis is confirmed.

        This work presents an approach to taxi demand forecasting and classification. The proposed approach uses historical data from taxi rides and meteorological data. The Kruskal-Wallis variable ranking method is used to identify the most relevant variables. The selected variables are used as input to an evolving fuzzy system to perform the prediction. Once the forecast is made, the demand results are classified by value ranges. Those ranges are also identified by colors that compose a heatmap, displayed at each time interval. In this work, to perform the prediction, four evolving systems are evaluated: Autonomous Learning Multi-Model (ALMMo); evolving Multivariable Gaussian Fuzzy Modeling System (eMG); evolving Fuzzy with Multivariable Gaussian Participatory Learning and Recursive Maximum Correntropy eFCE and; evolving Neo-Fuzzy Neuron (eNFN). Computational experiments were carried out to evaluate the evolving systems in predicting Pick-Up and Drop-Off, at intervals of 15 and 30 minutes, for 86 zones in New York, covering the period from 01/01/2018 to 31/ 10/2018. The results obtained by the evolving systems are compared with each other and state of the art. Among the evolving models, ALMMo presented the best results compared to the state of the art and other evolving models. Performance obtained by the evolving models suggests that the proposed approach is promising an alternative to forecasting and classifying passenger demand. Manuscript profile

        Landslides as one of the natural hazards can cause a lot of damage every year. Kahman catchment with potential mountainous features and different natural conditions has potential landslide potential. The purpose of this study was to investigate landslide hazard using fuzzy logic model in Kahman basin of Lorestan province. In this study, first, effective parameters on landslide occurrence were extracted and then the relevant layers were prepared. Then the landslide distribution map of the basin occurred. Then, by integrating the landslide map with the landslide distribution map, the effect of each of the slope factors, slope direction, lithology, precipitation, land use, distance from fault and waterway were calculated in ArcGIS software environment. In this study, fuzzy logic model with fuzzy community operator, fuzzy sharing operator, fuzzy algebraic multiplier operator, fuzzy algebraic sum operator, and fuzzy gamma operator were applied. Based on zoning using gamma-fuzzy operator, 64.37, 7.45, 8.93, 12.49 and 6.76 percent of the area were classified as very low, low, medium, high and very high risk classes has taken.

        In this regard, the present study investigated the climatic of the Zahedan snow days since 1976 over a period of 40 years. To achieve this goal, two databases were used. First databases; the present weather codes are related to the snow phenomenon, which was collected daily from the Meteorological Organization. The second database, relates to the daily data of sea level pressure and geopotential height in the troposphere from National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). With Environmental to Circulation Technic and cluster analysis, weather patterns causing snow days, identified. The results of the analysis showed that, snowfall in Zahedan is concentrated in autumn and winter seasons (December, January, February and March). At sea level pressure, integration patterns of Siberian-Caspian high-pressure migrants with 32.5% and Siberian-Caucasian highs with 20%, play the most roles in snowfall event. Also in the middle troposphere, Turkmenistan's ridge and Blocks (cut-off high) account for 42.5% and the European omega block pattern accounts for 25% of the snowfall frequency. It seems that the simultaneous activity of atmospheric disturbances in the immigrant high pressure systems of the Siberian, European, Caucasian, Russian and Caspian, deep ridge polar latitudes and its extension to the lower latitudes, It will exacerbate showers and temperatures, cold weather and snowfall.

        &nbsp; Climate classification systems(CCSs) are important tools for understanding the specific characteristics of a region's climate. The main purpose of these classifications is to determine the climate types and to find their similarities, differences and variability. Climate zones are threatened by global warming and climate change. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the possible shifts of climate zones over the Balochistan plateau of Pakistan and its potential challenges to Iran based on the improved Koppen-Geiger CCSs. The data includes average monthly precipitation and temperature of the Delaware university dataset for the 1990-2017 periods. The results show the main climate with two subgroups in the study area. These climates include a hot desert climate(BWh) and a cold desert climate(BWk). The hot desert climate is dominated in southern and western and the cold desert climate in northern and western regions.In recent decades, the increasing range of hot desert climate limited the cold desert climate. The range of the cold desert climate has declined sharply, reaching from about 55-65 to about 50-55 percent. In contrast, the range of hot desert climate increased in response to these conditions, reaching from about 35-45 to about 45-50 percent.Therefore, it is expected that the zones of the hot desert climate will increase rapidly in the future. These conditions will add to environmental quality and resource depletion problems especially in border areas with Iran and can pose important challenges such as climate migration, border security, and health. The results of this research can play a significant role in adopting forward-looking policies to address the impacts and challenges of climate change on the border regions of Iran. Manuscript profile

        Khuzestan province is one of the provinces that have been struggling with the phenomenon of dust in recent years and has suffered many economic, social and environmental consequences. This research was conducted to identify the ecological components in the sand dunes of Zoeir in Khouzestan province with the aim of evaluating soil level indices by LFA method. This region is located at 48.1 km distance from Ahvaz city. Sampling unit in this research was linear transect. Ecological spots and the spaces between them were determined during each transect and then five repetitions were selected randomly between them. Then, eleven soil indices that determine three functional characteristics (stability, permeability and nutrient cycle of the elements) were scored according to Tongway and Hindly) 2003(. Then, three functional features were determined based on the scores of related indices, Using LFA software. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis and comparison of ecological spots. The result showed that the highest percentage of soil stability is related to tree spots and the smallest percentage refers to the spatial space (bare soil). Also, the highest percent of the nutrient cycle was related to tree and tree trunk spots and the spatial space (bare soil) with the forbs spot had the lowest food cycle. Also, contrary to the research hypotheses, the highest percentage of permeability belonged to the bare soil. Manuscript profile

        Soil is one of the most important parts of the renewable natural resources, which is damaged by cutting down the trees. If this valuable resource is not protected, the output of it is reduced and the life of mankind and plants are endangered. Soil conservation is a crucial issue and understanding how it is influenced by different factors is of utmost importance in agroforestry systems. The efficiency of agroforestry systems for regulating soil erosion can be increased in response to the similarities between these systems to the natural forest concerning the litter frequency, distance and height of trees. This study was conducted to determine the best agroforestry systems in respect to erodibility along with soil conservation. The results of this investigation comprise diverse aspects. The two important aspects of this study include (1) identification and recording the number of systems, operations and agroforestry technologies present in the area and (2) exploring the soil condition of agroforestry systems, available in the area as well as conserving the soil in these systems. Regarding the literature reviews, 3 factors were evaluated to determine the erodibility or non-erodibility of agroforestry systems (texture, porosity and soil gravimetric moisture percent). As expected, the results of this investigation revealed that trees were appropriate candidates for soil conservation and reclamation in terms of erodibility in relation to other systems in this region. &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

In this study, we have analyzed the spatial distribution of city population on ten regions of&nbsp;national and regional physical plans, the years 1956 to 2011 are discussed and has been analyzed both the urban population system and the ten physical regions. Of the ten regions of national and regional physical plans, two regions of the southern Alborz (Including the provinces of Tehran, Markazi, Semnan, Zanjan, Qazvin, Qom and Alborz) and Khorasan (Including the provinces of South Khorassan, Razvi Korasan and North Kohorasan) ,respectively, had the highest and lowest rates of change between the ten regions. In the follow-up analysis , indicators such as the first twenty positions in the years 1956 to 2011, the analysis of the actual population and population number of twenty cities Primary of the&nbsp; region in relation to the theoretical Zipf in 2011 and also the analysis of primacy city and decentralization city in the South Khorasan and Alborz, was completed separately. Finally, a comparison between Khorasan region and southern Alborz together and with physical national and regional regions determined that southern Alborz region despite its position among the ten regions was not affected by a change but the intra-regional changes are massive and large altered. Conversely, Khorasan region that on the variations between Regions has been a fundamental change, in the intra-regional variations was found in relative comfort. The study also revealed that due to the changes between regional, it cannot be possible to make an intra-regional analysis and predictions are imposssible. Manuscript profile

        Today, it is critical to apply the teachings and experiences of the past by using the models, especially a conceptual model making use of a local theory being compatible with the context of our country in order to improve the urban environment, such as renovating urban decay. Therefore, this research based its framework on a new process to achieve positive changes in rejuvenating decay areas. In this article, the "Balanced Renovation of Urban Decay" Theory was first explained and it was used in a case study (central urban decayed tissue of Zanjan). The results of the first step were used for "dynamic modeling of decayed networks". The research variables used for modeling included a large number of indicators, components and social elements of the urban decay, resulting from valid theoretical sources and field studies, questionnaires, as well as using the experts&rsquo; opinions through Delphi method. This is while they are finally reduced to important and effective indicators using factor analysis method. The present study was applied in terms of objective and a survey in terms of methodology. The statistical population of this study consisted of the residents and users of the decay central part of Zanjan, i.e., 375 citizens selected as the sample population by random sampling. The findings of this study in the "Balanced Renovation Model" suggested that the urban decay of central Zanjan was out of balance from a social dimension and the priorities for action to balance the area were determined. The output of the "Dynamic Software System Model" also indicated that system will be moving in an unbalanced direction in the future. Dynamic system models also confirm the accuracy of Balanced Theory results.

        Access to safe, convenient, low-cost transport is a natural right of every citizen and this determines the quality of life in urban areas. Cable Propelled Transit (CPT) is a transportation technology that moves people in motor-less, engine-less vehicles that are propelled by a steel cable. The two main CPT configurations include Top-Supported systems (vehicles/cabins supported from above) and Bottom-Supported systems (cabins supported from below via tracks).Monocable Detachable Gondola (MDG) is the most basic and common CPT systems used for urban transit installations. This technology utilizes a single cable which provides both propulsion and support. Since the cable line circulates continuously around two end terminals, MDGs are classed as continuously circulating systems. An MDG&rsquo;s detachable grip enables cabins to detach from the propulsion cable upon entering a station and reattaching when exiting. MDG cabins typically seat 8 passengers but can have capacities ranging anywhere from 4-15 riders. They are increasingly popular forms of public transportation due to their high reliability, modest capacities and relative low cost and quick implementation times. Technical Stats Application: MDG systems are well-suited and easily adapted to the urban environment whether it&rsquo;s built on challenging topography or flat land. In large cities, they typically complement rapid transit trunk lines by functioning as feeder systems. However, in smaller cities with lower transport demands, they can operate as a primary transportation line.MDG systems are also the most common tourist-oriented gondola systems found in cities. This paper tries to offer cable transit system to control a part of urban traffic congestion and facilitate movement of people along with other urban transit systems to facilitate commuting. Therefore, as in our country there is not an applied example of cable transit system as a public urban system and we only use this system as a tourism system and as a twin winter mostly applied, we&nbsp;&nbsp; implemented two successful experiences in Colombia and Venezuela, to analyses the advantage of this system. After analyses Measurement and Assess of the Practicality of the project in city if it was possible, we would propose it to city council. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Abstract &ndash; Due to the increasing amount of information and services available on the web, it is necessary to provide tools such as recommender systems to websites and applications that can help users find information and services that suit their interests. For this reason, providing appropriate guidance and suggestions to users in different choices, according to the user's priorities, has found a special position in different fields. Recommender systems are information systems that help in the decision-making process by modeling the behavior of users in operational environments in ranking, comparing, selecting and preferring user items, by limiting the search space through high-quality and accurate recommendations. In this research, a multi-agent recommender system was proposed that can provide suitable recommendations as a shopping assistant in the purchasing process. To analyze the proposed model, the sales dataset of an online store including 1067371 records of online sales data has been used. According to the results, in this evaluation, the accuracy of the proposed model was 91.5% on average. By combining multi-agent systems, multi-agent recommender systems were proposed that can provide suitable recommendations as a purchasing assistant in the purchasing process. The results of applying the proposed model on the data related to the purchase history of the customers of an online shopping showed that the proposed model has a good efficiency in evaluating the parameters used in comparison with the common methods in this property field.

To grab attentions to news, news services use a number of criteria that called news values and user location is an important factor for it. In this paper, LONEF is proposed as a tow stage recommendation system. In first stage news are ranked by user&rsquo;s locations and in second stage news are recommended by location Preferences, recency, Trustworthiness, groups priorities and popularity. To reduce ambiguity these properties is used tow Mamdani fuzzy interference and case-based decision systems. In Mamdani fuzzy interference system, it is tried to increase the system speed by optimizing selection of rules and membership functions and because of ambiguous feedback implementation, a decision making system is used to enable better simulation of user&rsquo;s activities.

        Using the adaptive radial basis function (RBF) neural network dynamic surface control design method, a controller design approach is presented in order to the stabilization of strict-feedback nonlinear stochastic systems subjected to Prandtl-Ishlinskii nonlinearity in the actuator. This method is capable to be applied to nonlinear stochastic systems with any unknown dynamics. According to the universal approximation capability the RBF neural networks make it possible to approximate the unknown dynamics of the nonlinear stochastic systems. Using the minimal-learning-parameters algorithm the approximation procedure is done with a minimum complexity and required calculations. The stability of the proposed control system is proven analytically and its results are demonstrated using a simulation example. It is shown that the proposed design approach guarantees the boundedness in probability for adaptive control system, and in turn the uniformly ultimately boundedness of all closed-loop signals. It is also shown, that using this method the tracking error can be made arbitrarily small. Manuscript profile

        Intrusion into systems through network infrastructure and the Internet is one of the security challenges facing the world of information and communication technology and can lead to the destruction of systems and access to data and information. In this paper, a support vector machine model with weighted and parameters of SVM kernels are presented to detect the intrusion. Due to the high complexity of this problem, conventional optimization methods are not able to solve it. Therefore, we propose a Distributed Self Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (DSAGA). On the other hand, due to the high volume of data in such issues, Auto encoder has been used to reduce data. The proposed approach is a hybrid method based on Auto encoder, improved Support Vector Machine and Distributed Self Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (DSAGA) that it is evaluated by its execution on DARPA data set.

        In this paper, a constrained formation control design is implemented for a group motion of systems based on the Euler-Lagrange dynamics in the presence of model uncertainties and un-modeled dynamics with considering the output state constraints. To design a constrained formation control system, a dynamic model with respect to the Euler-Lagrange based on leader-follower structure is utilized. To solve the constrained problem of these systems, a Barrier Lyapunov Function (BLF) is applied that advances to infinity when its arguments reach to the finite bounds, in which is applied in the control design. This feature of BLFs is applied to prevent the violation of state variables from the constrained boundaries and restrict the errors of these states in the predetermined and limited bounds. Thus, the Lyapunov stability method is adopted to reveal all the signals of the closed-loop system that are bounded and the stability of formation problem is proved as semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). The computer simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of this leader-follower formation controller for systems based on the Euler-Lagrange dynamics. Manuscript profile

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

        In this paper, the control problem is investigated for Jerk chaotic systems against unknown parameters, actuator faults and input saturation. The considered actuator fault covers both of the stuck faults and loss of effectiveness faults in actuators. The values, times and patterns of the considered faults are completely unknown. That is, during the system operation it is unknown when, by how much and which actuators fail. A robust adaptive controller is presented based on the backstepping design method to achieve complete synchronization of the identical Jerk chaotic systems. By introducing the new Lyapunov functions, it is proved that all the closed loop signals are bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. The proposed adaptive method compensates the actuator faults without any need for explicit fault detection. Simulation results represent that the designed controller can synchronize the identical chaotic systems in the presence of actuator fault, input saturation and unknown parameters. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Utilizing the structure of multi-agent systems is one of the methods proposed today to improve the performance of network protection systems. Given that the presence of distributed generation resources as well as network restructuring has always been a concern for network managers, so it is expected that with the introduction of smart equipment and capabilities that provide network managers, better performance and maintenance They help. Intelligent devices are able to exchange information by communicating on a telecommunications platform. The purpose of this paper is to coordinate the protection relays in the presence of distributed generation sources by removing the connection between the relay agents and the information collected from the entire network by the central controller. The proposed method, in addition to improving the speed of the traditional multi agent system protection system, increases the security of the protection system and eliminates the need for information from one agent of one section to the agents of another sections.

        Due to the high penetration of renewable energy resources and the direct impact on the power system, the issue of energy management has received more attention than researchers. Power-to-gas (P2G) system causes the surplus electricity generated from renewable energy resources in the network to be converted to gas and sold to the gas network, so energy management and profitability are a matter of particular importance, considering the two grids as a joint optimization of integrated energy systems. This paper presents a scenario-based stochastic mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model to optimize integrated gas and electricity integrated systems considering natural gas distributed generation resources, P2G systems, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles. It aims to reduce the cost of purchasing energy and cut off the power of renewable energy resources. The 33-bus power distribution network and the 7-node natural gas network are considered for the analysis of the proposed model, and the proposed model is solved using the powerful Gurobi solver, considering various cases. The results of different cases show the performance of the proposed model. Manuscript profile

        One of the intelligent transportation systems' goals is to improve safety and increase the quality of service on road journeys. Transmitting the message in critical situations with minimal delay and on time is essential for ensuring the health and safety of citizens on road trips. Frequent topological changes pose significant challenges to the operation of safety programs and reduce the probability of sending critical messages in real-time. This article proposes the reliable relay node selection to real-time messaging (RRRM) routing algorithm to increase the reliability of sending real-time messages in vehicular networks. To expedite the transmission of information, by introducing three indicators for selecting intermediate vehicles entitled "Record of vehicle displacement", "Similarity of vehicle velocity with the velocity average of neighbor vehicles", and "Amount of trusty adjacent vehicles", the route vehicles are scored. The worthiest vehicles are selected as members of the route. RRRM measures the temporal conformity of the vehicles' previous presence in the current route and the stability of their connection with neighboring vehicles. It avoids route failure, increased delays, and failure to send critical messages to the destination by preventing the selection of unreliable vehicles as relays. Extensive simulations with multiple scenarios in the NS-3 and SUMO demonstrate the superiority of the RRRM in reducing route-failure, mean latency, and control overload, as well as increasing packet delivery rates in urban and highway environments.

        This paper presents an adaptive state feedback control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown parameters, variable control gains and in the presence of unknown time varying actuator failures. The designed controller compensates unknown loss of effectiveness failures as well as unknown time varying stuck failures in actuators. The considered actuator failure can cover most failures that may occur in actuators of the practical systems. The proposed adaptive controller is constructed based on a backstepping design method. Appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are introduced to design new adaptive laws to compensate the unknown actuator failures and unknown parameters. The offered method ensures the asymptotic output tracking and the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals. The proposed design approach is employed for a wing rock control of an aircraft in the presence of time varying actuator failures. The simulation results verify the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed adaptive control method. Manuscript profile

        Software update requires that running program is stopped, patched and then restarted from start. This cycle mainly causes disruptions to the programs' execution which may be undesirable. Disruptions could turn out to be more problematic in the web applications, because they usually have to provide round-the-clock services. Nowadays, there are systems called Dynamic Updating Systems which are able to update programs without disruption. However, a dynamic updating system capable of updating web applications is infrequent to date. The present study aims to propose approaches needed to compose a web-based dynamic updating system. Providing these approaches, we have focused on preserving programs' consistency. To this end, different states of a web application are considered, and actions which the dynamic updating system must perform in each state are described. This paper concludes with a discussion about the implementation and the evaluation of the proposed approaches. Manuscript profile

In the proposed microphone, the diaphragm includes a number of holes to pass the air through the gap between the back plate and diaphragm, and thus reduces the damping of the sound from the microphone. Novelty of this method, creating a circular microphone with fixed center, which the diameter of diaphragm is less than the conventional condenser microphone. At first, the mechanical analysis was conducted on microphone diaphragm in order to achieve the pull-in voltage. The pull-in voltage of the proposed circular microphone is 14 volts. According to the obtained pull-in voltage, the bias voltage were applied to the microphone, and various parameters such as capacitance and sensitivity were measured. Based on the simulation results of COMSOL, the proposed microphone with diaphragm diameter of 400 &mu;m and a thickness of 1.5 &mu;m, the sensitivity of -23 dB is shown. In comparison with previous works, the proposed microphone with lower supply voltage is provided the better frequency performance, and higher sensitivity, in order to sense the sound.

The formation of microorganism-microplastic complexes, such as biofilms, maximizes the degradation of organic matter and horizontal gene transfer. microplastic affects the structure and function of microbial communities. Dispersal of microplastic is concomitant with that of their associated microorganisms and their mobile genetic elements, including antibiotic resistance genes, islands of pathogenicity, and diverse metabolic pathways. The presence of microplastics in the marine environment poses a great threat to the entire ecosystem and has received much attention lately as the presence has greatly impacted oceans, lakes, seas, rivers, and even the Polar Regions. Also, Coastal and marine areas are constantly under continuous and increasing pressure from the activities of humans. Microorganisms play essential roles in the ecological fate of microplastic pollution, potentially yielding positive and negative effects.

        This research has investigated the improvement of the seismic behavior of repairable systems with a cradle mechanism in steel braced buildings with irregular mass in plan. A new method is used to find a suitable method in a building with a regular plan with asymmetric mass distribution, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the structure and to quickly repair the damage caused to the structure after a strong earthquake. In this method, by creating lifting conditions at the base of braced bay columns and by using energy-dissipating devices in this part, energy absorption and consumption are transferred to this part of the structure and prevent damage to other parts. Based on the results, the effect of taking into account the effects of vertical and horizontal earthquakes in different mass irregularities of structures in the seismic performance of low-rise structures was determined. Also, the irregularities in the numerical model of the structure have a significant effect on the IDA curves. As the height of the structure increases in the four failure modes, the mean probability of fragility of the structures occurs at a lower Sa, which means that the vulnerability of the structure increases. Also, with the increase in height, the slope of Sa reduction in four failure modes becomes milder, and the fragility curves for two IO performance levels and CP performance level have been obtained for all 6 structures. Considering the effect of irregularities, they are significantly effective in the structural failure of structures, so that considering the effect of these irregularities in mass distribution can lead to an increase in the probability of structural failure.

Several types of self-centering systems have been proposed.One of the strategies for created self centering in structures, using post-tensioned(PT) steel moment connections. Until now several types of PT steel connections is provided. In this paper, results of numerical analysis using finite element method in ABAQUS software for five full-scale model of interior PT steel connections with bolted top and seat angles has been studied. The results of numerical analysis in this research demonstrate the beams and columns remain essentially elastic while inelastic deformation of the top and seat angles provided energy dissipation and also using post-tensioning method, increase loading capacity significantly without residual deformation in main members of the connection. In a PT connection, maximum stresses in beam created at the flange of beam and using longer reinforcing plate, cause decrease stresses created in beam and reduce various damage index and risk of brittle fracture in tension angles.Cyclic behavior of numerical model of PT connection with combined axial load and drift demand shows that the axial load reduces bearing capacity of connection.

Because of irregularity of the studied buildings in plan, the story which resist more than 35% of the base shear in the direction of interest should be found. Then, loss of moment resistance at the beam-to-column connections at both ends of a single beam should be tested. The obtained results show that the story strength reduced less than 33% and the resulting system have not an extreme torsional irregularity. So, the redundancy factor at studied buildings is equal one. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, a 15-story steel building was designed based on Iranian code No.2800 in order to study the effects of rocking systems on the seismic response of high-rise steel buildings. The selected accelerograms were related to the Chi Chi, Landers, Loma Prieta, Northridge, Parkfield, San Fernando and Tabas earthquakes which were selected and scaled according to Iranian Standard No. 2800. These accelerograms were related to the stations which were registered at the distance of 20 to 60 kilometers from the fault and did not have the near-fault earthquakes characteristics such as forward directivity and fling step and etc. Furthermore, the magnitude of all the selected earthquakes was between 6.5 and 7.5 Richter. Then, nonlinear time history analysis was used to investigate and compare the seismic response of the studied building in cases with and without using the rocking system. The results of studies (including base shear, drift, displacement of roof, acceleration of roof and etc.) indicated that using rocking system in the high-rise steel buildings could cause significantly reduce the seismic response of high-rise steel buildings.

        The use of single or multiple tuned mass dampers is one of the methods to reduce earthquake vibrations caused by earthquakes in recent decades. One of the problems with using mass dampers is the large amount of space occupied by these systems in the structures. This space can sometimes make a lot of trouble for structural architects. The results of previous researches indicate that the dampers tuned on the first mode of the structure located on the roof floor, exhibit the highest efficiency. However, in some structures, due to architectural limitations, their implementation on the roof floor becomes problematic and it is appropriate to place dampers on other floors of the structure. In this research, the effect of damper placement on different floors of structures on their performance will be investigated under time history analysis. For this purpose, three structures of 5, 15, and 25 stories are designed and mass dampers are provided for each of them. These dampers are then placed on different floors of the structure and are analyzed. The results of this study present that the relocation of dampers has regulatory influences on the performance of dampers. These effects can be predicted in the form of an equation obtained in this study. Manuscript profile

        In this research, the strengths and weaknesses of lateral systems of tall buildings are identified and a suitable system is proposed both technically and economically. In this regard, for a hypothetical 45-storey building, three types of pipe in pipe system with truss belt cap, moment frame system with truss belt cap and central core system with restraint arm and truss belt are compared. Nonlinear analysis of the structure was performed by pushover method. In addition, the relative displacement of the floors was extracted by ETABS software. The results revealed that the central core system with the restraint arm and truss belt in a hypothetical 45-storey building is economically more viable than other systems. Another consequence is that the closer the truss belt is to the ground floors, the better the performance of the structural system. Although this makes the bracing sections heavier, it will not have much effect on the overall weight of the structure. Manuscript profile

        One of the new structural systems utilized in high-rise structures is diagrid structural systems. In this type of structural system, the columns are removed and the diagrid members are replaced. In other words, in addition to carrying gravity loads, the diagrid members also control lateral loads and there is no need to design a lateral load-bearing system for the structure. The buildings built with this system, in addition to innovation in the structural system, have a beautiful and unique architectural design. One of the most important and effective design parameters in diagrid structures is determining the angle of diagrid members. This angle directly affects the weight of the structure. In the present research, the angle of diagrid members has been studied and evaluated. For this purpose, a 24-storey building has been analyzed and optimized. In order to optimize the structure, an improved genetic algorithm has been used. In this regard, using the genetic algorithm, the optimal weight of the frame at different angles for the diagrid structural system as well as the structural system with mega bracing is determined and the optimal weight is presented. The weight of the diagrid structure was compared with the weight of the mega bracing system. The results show that the optimal angle of the diagonal members in the mega bracing system is approximately 36 degrees, while this angle is approximately 65 degrees for the diagrid system.

        This article introduces a productive algebraic approach to identifying positive solutions for a system of fully fuzzy polynomial equations (FFPEs). To achieve this, the FFPEs system is transformed into a comparable system of crisp polynomial equations. The Wu&#039;s algorithm is then employed to solve the set of crisp polynomial equations as the solution method. This algorithm results in the solution of characteristic sets that are readily solvable. A key benefit of the proposed method is that all the solutions are obtained simultaneously. The article concludes by presenting some practical examples to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method. Manuscript profile

        The goal of this research was to investigate the relationship between IT System and creativity of principals and teachers in boy public high school at Khoy city. The research method was descriptive and its type was correlational. All principals and teachers were the statistical population of the research (270 individuals), among which 40 principals were selected by census method and 100 teachers were selected randomly. Two questionnaires were used for gathering the data, whose face and content validity was confirmed by the experts. Reliability of questionnaires was estimated for IT systems (0.89) and creativity (0.87). To test the hypotheses, parametric tests - simple regression and Pearson correlation coefficient tests - were used. Results showed that all of the creativity components (Fluidity, flexibility, expandability and innovation) have a significant relationship with IT systems. Regression results indicated that IT systems, with expression factor 0.546 and Beta factor 0.515, had positive effect on creativity of principals and teachers. It is, therefore, concluded that there is a strong relationship between information technology system and creativity and that implementation of modern information systems at schools is among the most important factors for creativity and flexibility, as well as fostering new ideas among educational staff. It is also an important substrate for establishing learning schools. Manuscript profile

        Environmental quality is a multi dimensional concept that has common points with concepts such as quality of life, quality of place, perception and satisfaction of citizens and livability. So, one of the urban environmental quality indicators is easy, quick and safe access for citizens and enjoying a variety of facilities and activities in the cities. In this regard, accessibility, movement continuity and presence of specific social groups, such as children and elderlies in different parts of the urban spaces, with the lowest energy wastage (in the field of the Fuel consumption and human force), the most acceptable cost; low traffic and minimal adverse environmental effects; such as air and noise pollution; and the most positive effects on culture, society and economic and also optimal utilization of physical and biological environment resulting from the desirable communication with urban transportation systems are among the main indicators of upgrading of the environmental quality of urban spaces. According to this, the present paper- with the goal of assessing the effects of urban transportation different modes on urban spaces environmental quality- is seeking to answer the question of: Which of the urban transportation modes have the most effects on upgrading of urban spaces environmental quality? The methodology of the paper relies on the secondary data and a questionnaire-based survey through Delphi Method. Finally, for assessing the effects of urban transportation different modes on urban spaces environmental, AHP Method is used. The results show that pedestrian mode in the first place and public transportation in the second place have the most ability to upgrading the environmental quality of urban spaces and creating attractive, livable and sustainable urban spaces Manuscript profile

        Khaje Nasiroddin Toosi in addressing to the philosophy and the natural sciences in Akhlaghe Naseri, had a particular interest to politics and economics and during his speeches he paid to the dominant value system on the process of human education. On the one hand, the value system in his opinion is based on indigenous issues and human nature and on the other hand, he knows the community and its education are effective in giving direction to that system. Therefore, Khaje Nasir considers being important and influential, and occulting influences the teachings of spiritual and divine attention in fixing the value system and conducting human on the path of values. He believes that human beings from early childhood are ready for acceptance of the value system and even though they are not guided good, counter values can be emphatic in their nature. Furthermore, society and family has a vital role in protecting him from falling into the trap of anti-values. In this article we will discuss the various aspects of Nasir's comments and opinions about the dominated value system on the process of education. Manuscript profile

        In recent decades, along with urbanization, various models have been used to urban growth prediction. In this regard, Urban models based on the automata technique have emerged under the paradigm of a self-organizing system, with cellular automata (CA) being the simplest but most popular in action What happens to each grid cell is defined by a transition rule or transition rules.If the transition rule requires that the state of a grid cell is only dependent on its state at a previous time step, such a model is called a Markov model, and is not considered a CA model. Cellular automata models have one additional feature: the transition rules operate on cells based on the local neighborhood of those cells. In this research, the spatial expansion of Maragheh city was simulated using Cellular automata- Markov chain hybrid model. Satellite images (Landsat) were used for land cover mapping, urban growth monitoring, and modeling land cover changes. Results represent high efficiency of Cellular automata- Markov chain in the urban spatial growth simulation. In the past three decades,development trend of Maragheh city has been more towards barren lands.According to the output of the model,this trend will continue over the next 17 years. So that, the city will be expended due to the transition of barren lands cells state to urban cells state,and 774 hectares from surrounding barren lands will be converted to urban lands. However, with continue of the previous trend, nearly 417 hectares of good agricultural lands will also change to urban lands. Manuscript profile

        Urban land use and its location has always been an interesting topic for urban planners. As experts have tried to focus on the context and surroundings proximity, neighborhood, compatibility and incompatibilities, utility and other factors. By the expansion of geographical information systems, it is possible to focus on these factors and their impact on the planning process for land use allocation. At the same time, many scientific efforts have been made to integrate these systems and multi-criteria decision-making methods in order to enhance their ability to support decision making. Methods used in this field have also been widely used in various studies; one of the most important applications of these methods in urban planning is to determine the suitability of each parcel for allocating urban land uses. In this article which is applied in terms of purpose and is descriptive analytical in terms of method, the land-use suitability analysis as a scientific technique along with linear combination, and Delphi methods, have been used. Findings, which have been obtained from overlaying analytical maps (land prices, access to communication axes, number of blocks of land and air pollution's maps), indicate that what type of land use is more suitable for each parcel. The results of this paper are presented in the form of land use allocation scenarios. Comparison of the results of modeling with current situation shows that out of 2,166 parcels in the study area, 521 have no suitable uses and need change. Manuscript profile

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

        Heavy rains are one of the features of arid and semi-arid climates which result in flood. This kind of rainfall originates from environmental and synoptic conditions. Mediterranean cyclones are the major factors in heavy rainfall in Iran, but these cyclones do not happen in some parts of Iran such as Southern and Southeastern areas. In this study, it has been tried to pinpoint the synoptic reasons of heavy rainfall in Southern regions of Bushehr province through the analysis of the relationship between this rainfall in Bushehr province and atmospheric system over Iran and the areas around it. The findings of this study show that the major cause of heavy and torrential rains is the arrival of Sudanese low pressure system in this region from the South and Southwest. Albeit, if the ascent local conditions such as heat occur, the heaviest rains happen in Southern regions of Bushehr province. In fact, this kind of rainfall in this area has a Sudanese origin and if it is accompanied by Mediterranean system, heavier rain falls. Manuscript profile

        Based on the increasing literatures on medicinal plants and their importance in the food and pharmaceutical industries, the present study was designed to study on the medicinal plant Physorrhynchus chamaerapistrum. Silica (Si) is known as a beneficial element for many plant species. In the present study was designed to study on the effect of potassium silicate treatment on some physiological traits of P. chamaerapistrumare. In this order, foliar application of 10 and 20 mM potassium silicate and distilled water (as control plant) was applied on P. chamaerapistrumare in their natural habitat in Behbahan. After one month, the leaves of the plants were harvested to investigate the physiological responses of the plants to the potassium silicate treatment. Based on the results, Silica treatment had not significant effect on the leaf fluorescence indices, while it significantly increased photosynthetic pigments in P. chamaerapistrumare. Silica treatment did not show a significant effect on the efficiency of photosystem II (Fv / Fm) and the efficiency of both photosystems I and II (PIABS). The levels of chlorophyll a, b and total and carotenoids in silica-treated plants showed a significant increase in Silica treatment, while they did not show any differences between 10 and 20 mM of potassium silicate. The results of the present study acclaimed that silica as an unnecessary mineral element for plant can improve the photosynthetic pigments contents in plants Manuscript profile

        The Nigerian rice sector has made remarkable improvement in the last decade as production has increased significantly thereby reducing the gap between domestic supply and demand. In the last three decades, rice imports make up greater proportion of Nigerian imports as rice forms a structural component of the Nigerian diet. Past government inconsistent policies were not successful in securing good market share for domestic rice producers, hence producers suffered great losses. The recent resurgence of interest by the present administration to intensify domestic rice production has yielded positive results. The objective of this study is to analyze and assess the costs and benefits of intensification of rice production systems in southeastern Nigeria using a policy analysis matrix approach. Multi Stage sampling technique was employed in selecting 75 upland and 75 lowland rice farmers who were interviewed with structured and validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The result shows that upland; lowland and double rice cropping systems in southeastern Nigeria are profitable based on the policy analysis matrix (PAM) model, and rice production under various systems and technologies is socially profitable and financially competitive. While there exist comparative advantage in the various production systems, with lowland and double cropping being highest, substantial tax was imposed on rice imports in Nigeria and government investment in intensifying rice production had a positive impact on the output of local rice production. The study concludes with strategies for the development of rice sub sector in Nigeria. Manuscript profile

        Innovation is a complex phenomenon and process involving translation of knowledge into new techniques, products, services. It is considered crucial for sustainable agriculture development and achievement of long-term food security. The review describes the diversity of innovation and relates it to agro-food sector. It also sheds light on different innovation models and explores their contribution to framing agro-food sustainability transitions. There are many variations in the use of the term &lsquo;innovation&rsquo;. Typical distinctions encountered in the literature are incremental vs. radical innovation and product vs. process vs. organizational innovation. A significant feature of the development of modern innovation thinking has been a gradual broadening of innovation scope as well as more attention to sustainability. The scope of innovation was broadened to include soft (social/organisation) innovations besides hard/technical ones. In fact, the interest has shifted from technological innovation to disruptive niche innovations fundamental for socio-technical transitions. Moreover, as a recognition of system complexity, frameworks such as the Innovation systems and the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) were developed and promoted. However, despite positive innovation benefits, relationship between innovation and sustainability in the agro-food arena is far from straightforward. Therefore, focus is gradually moving from innovation process to its impacts in terms of sustainability and its contribution to sustainability transitions in agriculture and food systems.

        The public compensation system is not efficient and can not provide motivation and good performance among employees. One of the weaknesses of compensation system is its lack of optimal alignment with other human resource subsystems. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to design a model for the alignment of human resource subsystems, including recruitment and selection, performance appraisal, human resource development, job promotion and job evaluation with the service compensation system. Research is of development-applied type and is a mixed research. In the qualitative section, 23 academic experts in human resources and administrative affairs in government organizations were interviewed semi-structured and the data were analyzed by theme analysis method. Based on the findings of this stage, 11 main strategies and 74 sub-strategies were identified. Also, in a quantitative step, the validity of the research model was tested by structural equation modeling and SmartPLS software. For this purpose, data were collected through a questionnaire and a survey of 384 managers and human resources experts and the research model was approved. The results showed that the coefficient of determination between the strategies of human resources subsystems and the service compensation system is equal to 0.644. The results showed that although the service compensation system should have a proper internal structure, but its efficiency is largely influenced by other human resource subsystems and their alignment.

The population studied in this research was federated search systems which were selected based on sampling process available for the two federated search system of EBSCO and Summon Discovery services. Information was collected through direct observation and organized interviews with executive managers of the two systems which is based on self-made checklist containing necessary criteria for the evaluation. Descriptive statistic was used for data analysis. Thus, according to presented criteria outlined in the checklist items, zero number was considered for having the criteria and number one for absence of the criteria. The evaluation was performed with 144 components in 9 categories of research criteria: ability to display, retrieval, user interaction, authentication interface customization design, interface design, standards and communication protocols, and vendor support criteria. Findings: Findings showed that degree of compliance of the two systems of federated search system of EBSCO and Summon Discovery Service was %93/05 and % 81 /94 respectively. However, the federated search system of EBSCO Discovery Service is most consistent with the structural criteria. Conclusion: The results of the evaluation of the two systems indicated that both the federated search systems were in on a satisfactory level. However, EBSCO Federated Search System complies with the criteria of the checklist to a greater extent. Final research findings are indicative of a proposed structural model of a national Federated search system. Manuscript profile

        The microfluidic aqueous two-phase system is a new method and is a suitable platform for the separation and recovery of biomaterials in the field of biotechnology. The combination of aqueous two-phase systems with microfluidic systems provides features that are not possible or difficult to achieve in macro methods. According to studies, aqueous two-phase system can be considered as a low-cost, environmentally friendly, and effective method for the separation of biomolecules, but its combination with microfluidic systems adds to its attractiveness. In the studied system, due to its dimensions, it showed the potential ability to accelerate the design and separation of biological processes. Alpha-amylase recovery was investigated with an aqueous two-phase polyethylene glycol/sodium citrate system on a glass microfluidic device made by the Co2-laser method. Effective parameters were tested with different values of concentration (125-150 mg / L) and flow rate (0.8-2 mL / h). The response surface method (RSM) was used to optimally determine the operational parameters. Transfer of alpha-amylase from the salt phase to the polyethylene glycol phase was performed with a parallel flow pattern. The values obtained at the optimal point also had a small error compared to the predicted value of the experimental design equations. The use of the microfluidic system studied in this study due to the micro dimensions will increase the recovery rate compared to macro systems, as well as the reduction of the time of this process in the micro dimensions compared to macro dimensions was significant.

        This paper is a study of the impact of the decisions made by the judiciary, legislative and executive systems on the solvency of insurance companies with regard to third-party life insurance in the year 2014. Its purpose is utilization-oriented and the method used is a descriptive survey. The statistical population included experts and managers of insurance industry that with the use of Cochran test, 150 out of 260 people were selected. Research method is simple random sampling. For the purpose of studying and investigating the impact of decisions made by the judiciary, legislative and executive systems on the solvency of insurance companies with regard to third- party life insurance, a researcher-made questionnaire with 6 topics and 15 items applying 5-point Likert scale was used. Using Cronbach&rsquo;s alpha coefficient, the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed %87 which indicated the adequacy of measurement tools and methods. After collecting data, the SPSS software was used for both descriptive and inferential analyses. The results indicated that setting the upper limits of insurer&rsquo;s obligations (setting and notifying the amount of blood cost) by judiciary system, interpreting the laws by judges in the process of probing litigations of policyholders and insurance companies, lengthy and slow process of courts, changing and determining of the insurance regulations by legislative system, setting the upper limits of insurance premium and the policies of executive system concerning insurance, contracts and losses paid have great effects on the solvency of insurance companies with regard to third- party life insurance. Nevertheless, charges and tolls imposed by legislative system has no tangible effect on the solvency of insurance companies with regard to third- party life insurance. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The&nbsp;present study aimed to examine the mediating role of Social Anxiety (SA) in the relationship between brain-behavioral systems and loneliness with correlation design. 479 students of Islamic Azad University in Tehran (293 females, 186 males) were selected by multistage sampling and completed the Iranian Loneliness Questionnaire (Rahimzadeh, 2011), Behavioral Inhibition/Behavioral Activation System Scales (Carver &amp; White, 1994), and Social Phobia Inventory (Connor et al., 2000). The results of the path analysis test showed the direct effect of Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) and Fight-Flight-Freeze System (FFFS) as positive and direct effects of Behavioral Activation System (BAS) as negative on SA, the direct effect of SA and the FFFS as positive, and direct effect of BAS is negatively significant on loneliness, but the direct effect of the BIS on loneliness is not significant. Also, the indirect effect of the BIS and the FFFS was positively significant and the indirect effect of the BAS was negatively significant on loneliness with mediating SA. In addition, the results revealed that SA plays a mediating role in the relationship between brain-behavioral systems and loneliness, and 21% of the variance of SA is explained by brain-behavioral systems, and 27% of the variance of loneliness is explained by brain-behavioral systems and SA. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that by reducing SA in people who are more sensitive to the BIS, the experience of loneliness is reduced. Manuscript profile

        This study has been conducted to determine the mediating role of social anxiety in the relationship between behavioral brain systems and Internet addiction. For this purpose, in descriptive research, 346 students (129 males and 217 females) were selected by convenience sampling of students of the non-profit Shahid Ashrafi University of Isfahan. The participants were requested to fill out Gary-Wilson (1989) Personality Questionnaire, Social Anxiety Inventory (Connor et al., 2000), and Internet Addic- tion Test (Young, 1998). Data were analyzed using path analysis. The findings showed that the direct and indirect effect of behavioral activation system on internet addiction is negative and the direct and indirect effect of behavioral inhibition and fight-flight systems on internet addiction is positive. Likewise, the direct effect of behavioral activation system on social anxiety is negative and the direct effect of behavioral inhibition and fight-flight systems on social anxiety is positive. Also, the direct effect of social anxiety on internet addiction is also positive. In addition, the amount of explained variance (R2) is 0.48, which means that behavioral brain systems and social anxiety have the ability to explain 48% of the variance of Internet addiction. Therefore, in order to prevent Internet addiction, in addition to paying attention to behavioral brain systems, it is necessary to provide the necessary grounds to reduce social anxiety.

        Field and Aims:The International Society is an area of public interest that has moved from bilateralism to multilateralism with an emphasis on shared values. Systematic solidarity and interaction are needed to create such a society. Systems theory is a set of rules about the relationships between variables in which a change in variables accompanies or precedes the change of others or a combination of them. The present article seeks to answer the question of how the position and function of the public interest can be explained from the perspective of a systematic analysis of international law. The purpose of this study is to explain the position of public interest in order to create stability in the international system.Method: The present research was carried out in a prescriptive-mandatory way.Findings and results: a system in its ideal state is based on regular relationships among a set of norms that distributes the values and interests of its members; In such a situation, the stability of the system will depend on the convergence and dependence of the members in accordance with the macro goals of the system; This will be possible with the commitment to the interests of all, which is in line with the system norms. If the interests of the governments are presented as a common good, with the support of the system structure, it can increase the costs of norm violations, and in this way, the stability of the international system increases.

        AbstractSelecting the appropriate accounting software has become an important issue for many organizations. In such a way that organizations have requested to use consulting services in choosing the right software package; Because the wrong choice might lead to major financial losses. Indicators affecting the selection of accounting software should be considered before preparing the software. Facing with such an important decision, accountants, managers, and professional consultants all need indicators to rank these software packages to free them from subjective decision-making. The purpose of this article is to identify and explain the main factors that the organization should consider in its decision to choose the right software. Using Delphi method, the research questionnaire has been subjected to experts' opinions. These indicators are categorized in the form of two dimensions and ten components. These two dimensions are the features of the accounting software and the characteristics of the software vendor. The results of the research show that the three components of software reliability, technology and security from the aspect of accounting software features, as well as two components of software maintenance and upgrading, and the reputation of the software vendor from the aspect of the characteristics of the software vendor have the greatest impact on choosing the right software.

        Abstract Turkey is the first Muslim country in the Middle East that recognizes formally in 1949 and establishes diplomatic relation with this country. Israel and Turkey relations usually have been called strategic relation. The relation between these two countries is a deep relation and it continues, however political changes have occurred in Turkey and justice and Development Party (JDP) came to power. The JDP was born from the ashes of a banned political party (the Virtue Party) in 2002 parliamentary elections in Turkey. A new generation of Islamists with leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogon that had established JDP, has closer relations with Muslims taboo, Israel, and also has speeded up Turkey&rsquo;s integration with European Union (EU). However, Turkey&rsquo;s president and prime minister are Islamists, but Turkey&rsquo;s friendly relations with Israel have been firmed and political, economic and military cooperation&rsquo;s have been expanded between these two countries. Getting the position of presidency and another victory in parliamentary election by Islamist of the JDP, does not mean a basic in foreign policy of Turkey. Islamists want to maintain good relations with the West and also want to expand their relations with Islam World and the East. Cutting the relations between Israel and Turkey does not seem to occur in the future and some foreseeing in this matter is merely a political optimistic. The foreign policy of Turkey is not depends on political parties, but depends on national interests of Turkey. During the ruling the JDP, some experts believe that relations between Turkey and Israel did not begin to go backward. This paper attempts to explore that how it has been the relationship of Turkey and Israel after coming to power of the JDP? &nbsp; &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        Popular movements in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Bahrain have highlighted the importance of paying attention to public opinion in a sheikdom. Globalization and the globalization of democratic processes have made authoritarian rule more expensive. When they are faced with internal and external pressure to maintain democracy, authoritarian regimes usually do not comply with it and try to reestablish their elements at the helm of the country. From this perspective, the Islamic Republic's security interests require it to use its political, cultural, and security levers to achieve the ideals of Islamic movements in Muslim countries, including Bahrain and Yemen. Due to the initial obstacles to statebuilding in Yemen and Bahrain, strengthening the fundamental impetus to nation-building could turn the popular Islamic movements in those countries into an efficient political system in the long run. Movements, the elements of previous governments, the power blocs that benefited from the former regime, and the interventions of foreign powers are among the main obstacles to systematization in Yemen and Bahrain. In what ways can the Islamic Republic of Iran contribute to the establishment and maintenance of the political regimes in Bahrain and Yemen? By providing state-building and system-building experiences at the domestic level and by supporting governments formed at the regional level (political balance and stability), the Islamic Republic can contribute to the survival of the new governments in Bahrain and Yemen.

        Risks and uncertainty can potentially have serious consequences for enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation. This paper examines a practical approach to ERP implementation risk assessment in upstream steel industries that supports important project stakeholders such as the customer, contractor or developer, consultant and supplier to fulfill their obligations and the negative effects on ERP project performance in relation to the objectives cost, time and quality are minimize. In this study, after registering the risks and their initial qualitative analysis using the risk matrix, in order to analyze the data more accurately and reduce the volume of variables, using exploratory factor analysis in SPSS software, the risks were categorized into 7 groups, then using confirmatory factor analysis in AMOS software was used to check the validity of the obtained model, and after removing 4 risks, the validity of the model was found to be satisfactory. For the quantitative analysis of the model using the FMEA method, it was shown that the risks related to the project management factor have the highest score, i.e. the highest risk, and the factor related to the internal people of the organization has the lowest risk score with a very small difference from the process factor.

Aural Accounting, as one of the most emerging aspects of this knowledge, seeks to create perspectives on future accounting so that it can improve its capacity to meet information expectations and needs. The purpose of this research is provide a model of aural accounting development requirements and appraisal its dimensions in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). In this study, which was a methodology mixed, first, through content screening, to determine the requirements for the development of aural accounting in the period between 2017 and 2022. By determining 10 initial studies, critical appraisal was performed with the help of 14 accounting experts and finally 7 dimensions of aural accounting development requirements were determined. Then, the reliability of these dimensions was determined through Delphi analysis. In the quantitative part of the research, with the help of 20 accounting managers and financial directors of Tehran Stock Exchange companies, was performed an interpretive ranking process. The results showed that the percentage of effectiveness of the component of financial information systems development as the basis of aural accounting is higher than other components of aural accounting requirements, which means that aural accounting to strengthen the expectations of social contexts should strengthen financial information systems that to be able to respond appropriately and reliably to the information expectations of stakeholders.

        The household energy management system (HEMS) can optimally schedule home appliances for transferring loads from peak to off-peak times. Consumers of smart houses have HEM, renewable energy sources and storage systems to reduce the bill. In this article, a new HEM model based on the time of usage pricing planning with renewable energy systems is proposed to use the energy more efficiently. The new meta-heuristic whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and the common meta-heuristic of particle swarm optimization (PSO) are used to achieve that. To improve the performance, a mapping chaos theory (CWOA) is proposed. Also, an independent solar energy source is used as a support of the microgrid to achieve a better performance. It is concluded that the energy saving achieved by the proposed algorithm is able to decrease the electricity bill by about 40-50% rather than the WOA and PSO methods. The proposed system is simulated in MATLAB environment. Manuscript profile

        Due to the prevalence of granting interbank credit for collateral in order to start open market operations (OMO) in Iran and the need for more liquidity risk management in banks, in this study to manage liquidity risk in interbank payment systems, from the statistical community Daily Data of New Payment Systems in the Banking Industry and Statistical Sample of the Time Series The sum of the daily data balances of the payment systems of an Iranian bank from 01/01/94 to 05/31/1398 has been used. Then, according to the data structure and the fact that the time series were not the sums of the normal payment systems, the GlueVaR criterion was used, which was introduced to eliminate the shortcomings of the two CVaR and VaR criteria and is a linear combination of them. Accordingly, the Liquidity Risk appetite chart has been reported with six different scenarios so that banks can store the cash flow of liquid assets in proportion to their attitude. The results show using the GlueVaR criterion to manage liquidity risk, due to the use of two different levels of confidence and two metrics of risk and expected loss, has the necessary flexibility for different attitudes towards liquidity risk.

        Stock price forecasting is a challenging and attractive topic. Investors are interested in being able to predict the price of different stocks in financial markets. This paper presents a hybrid model that predicts the final stock price for the next day based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) and Return Neural Network (RNN) algorithm using historical data and indicators. Then the results of this model and the status of market rumors enter the fuzzy expert system based on the output of the fuzzy neural system and the return neural network along with the market rumor status and finalize the forecast. The combined model proposed to predict the stock price data of Mobarakeh Steel Company of Isfahan was implemented. In this study, for research data, the data of Tehran Stock Exchange Company related to the stock data of Mobarakeh Steel Company of Isfahan from April 26, 2016 to March 20, 2017 has been used. Four technical indicators used in this study are: Moving Average(MA), Exponential Moving Average(EMA), Relative Strength Index(RSI), and Moving Average Convergence Divergence(MACD). These variables have been used as the input of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems(ANFIS) to predict the final price of the next day's shares. Manuscript profile

        We applied Random Matrix Theory making a portfolio enables to beat the market. On the basis of previous findings, the largest eigenvalue represents the influence of the entire market that is common to all stocks. We analyzed cross-correlation between returns of different stock market indices (S&amp;p500, DJ USA, DAX Germany, FTSE100 England, HSI Hong Kong for efficient markets and TSE Iran, SSE180 China and MXX Mexico for emerging markets) for 730 trading days from May 2012 to October 2014 by using Random Matrix Theory (RMT). Looking at the largest eigenvalue and components (stocks) of the largest eigenvector (demonstrating market mode or trend) and calculating share of every stock in market trend, we could categorize stocks in terms of their impact on the trend in 3 groups: high, middle and low or no impact on market trend. Then we created 3 portfolio in this respect for Tehran stock market. The results shows the portfolio consisting of high impact stocks can beat the market return. Manuscript profile

        Today's world is the world of organizations and human power, as the most valuable organization-oriented resource, has been the focus of organizational approaches and activities. Human resources can act for the organization as an efficient and continuous force in a competitive advantage. To realize organizational goals, efficient people should be in control. Additionally, organizational agility is the ability of the organization to survive and progress in an environment with continuous and unpredictable changes. Therefore, in order to achieve organizational agility, organizations, including universities, need people who have the necessary ability, knowledge and management skills. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of structural analysis of competence management on organizational agility in educational systems. It is a review study that is done through searching in databases of Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, Elsevier and Eric between 2000 and 2022. The articles have been searched based on keywords of review, competence management and organizational agility. The results showed that competency management can influence organizational agility. Therefore, by using the competency management approach, educational systems can be directed towards agility. The findings suggest that authorities of educational systems prioritize competence management in all matters so that they can improve their organizations. Manuscript profile

        The present paper aims to evaluate the impact of the implementation of organizational resource planning systems on the supply chain management performance. In fact, we explore how organizational resource planning and supply chain management can work together to achieve business benefits. Organizational resource planning, as one of the latest management technologies of the organization, includes a set of activities and processes of organizations that are connected to each other through communication technology. They are responsible for establishing the flow of information between different parts of the organization and the supply chain, so that information sharing is the most important factor in the optimal functioning of each supply chain. Given the role and importance of information in the supply chain, organizational resource planning systems are used as a useful software solution to integrate all information and business processes of the organization and create integration in it. The results showed that organizational resource planning systems as a facilitator and catalyst system in the supply chain relationship that the existence of these electronic systems and comprehensive software with the ability to plan, analyze information and extract reports. Integrated and timely, along with efficient and effective supply chain, proper implementation and proper management leads to improved competitive advantage and profitability of service and manufacturing organizations.

        Iran has limited water resources combined with high evapotranspiration. The overpopulation and the increasing need of food and thus the lack of agricultural products always rings the alarm. Thus with development of water resources and saving water, we can raise surface water irrigated fields and finally raise agricultural productivity. In this project, by using existing data from soil and water resources in the Central Desert, including provincesKhorasanRazavi and Jonoobi, Semnan, Isfahan, Qom, Yazd, Hormozgan, Kerman, Sistan and Baluchestan and by using Boolean logic and GIS software, suitable and talented areas, identified for the implementation of modern irrigation systems, And then based on the results of questionnaires, affecting factors of rejection the pressurized irrigation systems by farmers in desert areas were analyzed with SPSS software And finally by using sustainable agricultural development indicators of population, the population sustainable settlement, it was estimated. The results show that, with the proper use of water and soil resources and avoid wasting this valuable resource not only can be increase production per unit area index over the country and world but also by increasing acreage can be increase products in the range of 4 to 42 percent and establishment of population based on various indices in the range of 11 to 34 percent. While economic-administrative agent as the main challenge in the implementation of pressurized irrigation systems in desert areas were identified. &nbsp; Manuscript profile

        The overall objective of this research was a strategic analysis of villagers' participation in advanced irrigation systems according to the viewpoint of farmers and experts in Songhor city. The methods used in this study were qualitative &ndash; quantitative, practical. The population is the farmers who uses the irrigation systems in Songhor ,Kermanshah province, as well as the regional experts in agriculture and water organizations&nbsp; of Kermanshah, the sample was selected through snowball technique .The results showed that, clarification and farmers' awareness of all the dimensions of projects, increasing the reliability and trying to keep and strengthen it with respect to local cultures and customs, are the main internal strength points; and lack of trust among the farmers, cooperatives and authorities and also lack of competency and honesty among the executive managers, are the most important internal weakness points in farmers' participation. Yet, providing necessary bases to the farmers to participate and to be present in all projects' performances, facilitating the communication between local organizations and farmers are the most external opportunities; lack of intersection coordination and lack of convergent in governmental activities in the region, having too much emphasis on the physical development and economic advantages, are considered as the most important external threats to the farmers' participation in Songhor's irrigation system.

        Ownership is the exclusive allocation of property to the owner, which prohibits others from occupying it, and acquisition and confiscation are called ownership, the purpose of this research is the comparative study of confiscation, ownership of property and property based on Islamic jurisprudence and international legal systems, and the method. The research is descriptive-analytical and the findings indicate that in Islamic jurisprudence the possession of legitimate property is not incompatible with Islamic standards, but the possession of illegitimate property is not considered legitimate. Imam Khomeini (RA) allowed the possession of illegitimate property. It should be for public benefit and the government is not the owner of this property. In line with the legal protection of public property, this theory; It deprives the government of the right to transfer public property and obligates it to protect and maintain this property. Possession is recognized in most international systems. Manuscript profile

        This research proposed a comprehensive model designed for the optimization of supply chain networks, particularly emphasizing leagile demand-driven systems within the context of omnichannel operations. The proposed model integrates various parameters such as total cost, lead time, service level, and residual capacity, addressing the complex interdependencies among an omnichannel environment of retailers. To enhance the model's reliability, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm is employed, combining the strengths of MOEA/D-DE (Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Differential Evolution), IBEA (Indicator-Based Evolutionary Algorithm), and NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II). The collaborative optimization approach ensures adaptability and efficiency in addressing diverse and intricate optimization challenges inherent in omnichannel networks. The numerical data from a case study on the supply of sanitary masks in Tabriz, Iran, during August 2021 is utilized to validate the model within the specific omnichannel context. The study includes a thorough sensitivity analysis, demonstrating the model's robustness against disturbances in the omnichannel network. The consistent performance of the odel across various disruption scenarios underscores its reliability and efficacy in ensuring the stability of supply chain operations within omni-channel frameworks. This observed resilience significantly enhances the overall robustness of the supply chain, especially when confronted with disruptive events. The model's ability to maintain stability under diverse conditions contributes to fortifying the supply chain against potential disruptions, thereby augmenting its adaptive capabilities in dynamic environments..Managerial and practical implications are discussed, emphasizing the significance of the proposed reliable omnichannel approach in leagile demand-driven systems.

        In this paper, a strictly passive formulation has been developed to design a passive state-observer for both time-invariant and time-varying Lipschitz nonlinear systems. During this formulation, a convergence and strictly passive state-observer is provided to have passive closed-loop system. Some definitions and charts are defined here for time-invariant and time-varying systems in different scenarios. A new interconnection between passivity of subsystems and passivity/stability of the closed-loop system has been introduced from a different point of view. All definitions are organized based on the systematic method called “virtually Euler-Lagrange” form of passivation. Utilizing this form and theses definitions, make the design process simpler and straightforward, while, some conditions of design will be released due to using these definitions. The designed controller/observer has been applied to control the hepatitis B virus infection disease. The reliability of the proposed definitions are examined by using MATLAB/SIMULINK, while, the results demonstrate the ability and power of this novel approach. Manuscript profile

        Considering that the performance of organizational entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized businesses faces different environmental conditions, it is not possible to use the same performance evaluation approach. The main issue in this research is; what variables are effective in evaluating organizational entrepreneurship performance in small and medium businesses and how can this performance be evaluated by designing a fuzzy expert model. This research is modeling in terms of practical purpose and method. In this research, the primary variables effective in evaluating organizational entrepreneurship performance were selected and the final variables were selected with the help of a group of industry experts using the fuzzy Delphi method and in two rounds. Mamdani fuzzy expert system and triangular membership functions were selected for input and output variables for modeling. The final input variables include the development of new products, job creation, new market creation, income level, market share, and the output variable of the model includes the levels of organizational entrepreneurship performance. After extracting the decision variables, using the fuzzy expert system, the five-level model was designed and validated. Manuscript profile

        Anxiety disorders are a group of disorders that their common characteristics is fear and excessive anxiety and subsequent behavioral disturbances. Social anxiety disorder and depression have a high comorbidity. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the formation and persistence of these diseases is very important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the structural relationship of brain - behavior and emotion regulation difficulties with social anxiety disorder and depression. For this purpose, in a descriptive study based on regression analysis, 240 patients (120 males and 120 females) from Tabriz University students were selected by cluster sampling method and they were tested in terms of inhibition / behavioral activation systems, emotion regulation difficulties, depression and panic and phobia. For data analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling was used. Model assessment indicated average fitness of the theoretical model. In contrast, the modified model, in which apart from direct relations, indirect relationships had been established between variables, showed a better fit. Based on the findings of the current study and with an emphasis on the mediating role of emotion regulation difficulties we can present theoretical framework to explain the complex comorbidity and the distinction between depression and social anxiety disorder.

        This study, drawing on a dual theoretical standpoint constituting ecological systems theory (EST) and self-determination theory (SDT), compared Iranian novice and experienced EFL teachers’ remotivational strategies. The participants, selected based on convenience sampling technique, comprised two equal 32-member groups of novice and experienced EFL teachers teaching different proficiency levels at six language institutes. To gather data, semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results of thematic data analysis indicated that novice and experienced teachers were approximately similar in terms of the emerging theme instances situated within the integrative SDT/EST framework. Nonetheless, novice and experienced teachers were markedly different concerning the number of theme instances for each SDT facet positioned in the EST layers. Moreover, the results of Chi-square test demonstrated significant differences between novice and experienced teachers in terms of the number of themes existing in the SDT/EST frame. The results, enhancing teacher educators’ understanding of the similarities and disparities between novice and experienced teachers’ perceptions of remotivational strategies, can provide teachers and teacher educators with awareness concerning how remotivational strategies are nested across multiple systems while simultaneously being informed by a certain motivation-specific theory.

        In this study, farmer's attitude and the extent of their access to technical information to adopt and utilize irrigation systems have been studied. Statistical sample in this study was drown randomly from 220 farmers adopting the irrigation systems in their farms. A number of&nbsp; 140 farmers were selected through classified sampling. This study is a kind of descriptive-correlation research which has been accomplished through questionnaire and interview. Face and content validity of the questionnaire were stablished using a panel of experts consisting of faculty members in the department of agriculture at Khoramabad Islamic Azad university. The questionnaire was field-tested and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for attitude and the extent of access to technical&nbsp; information &nbsp;questions &nbsp;was calculated using software SPSS (&alpha;=84%). The results obtained from calculating correlations between variables showed positive and statistically significant relations between the farmer's attitude regarding adoption of irrigation systems and the amount of irrigated land ownership, the amount of the land which is irrigated by these systems,&nbsp; increase in value of water, kind of educational programs, and obstacles associated with utilization. Moreover, there is positive and statistically significant relations between the extent of access to technical information and educational level, main job, performance, effective factors in utilization of systems, implementing educational programs, agent&rsquo;s visits, agent&rsquo;s implemented programs, and problems and obstacles associated with utilization. Stepwise multiple regression, indicated that the amount of irrigated land ownership, the amount of the land which is irrigated by these systems, increase in value of water, obstacles associated with utilization explained a statistically significant portion of variance (R square = 48.3) for the farmer's attitude regarding adoption of irrigation systems. Moreover, stepwise multiple regression indicated that educational level, performance, effective factors in utilization of systems and obstacles associated with utilization explained a statistically significant portion of variance (R square = 43.1) for the extent of access to technical information regarding adoption and utilization of irrigation systems.&nbsp; Thus, farmer's socio-economic and&nbsp; job characteristics, which exist in every zone, must be analyzed&nbsp; and&nbsp; in order to adoption and development of utilization of irrigation technologies, useful educational and technical programs must be planed and implemented.
