Controlling the contaminants caused by the building industry has been one of the most significant concerns of the last decade. Like any other product, the making of a building takes raw materials and renewable and non-renewable energy, with the growth in development appearing to be inevitable particularly in the developing countries. The present research aims to determine the factors affecting the adaptive reuse of abandoned buildings, and compare the environmental impacts of reusing buildings with those of new constructions. Not every building is unreservedly suitable for reuse, though, and hence the necessity of decision tools to evaluate each building’s potential for reuse. For this purpose, the key criteria for the adaptive reuse of abandoned buildings were recognised and classified into seven categories. This was done through interviewing experts and library studies in the fields of energy and sustainability. The findings were then put into a questionnaire given to 110 experts, for them to evaluate the effectiveness any of these factors. The results were then analysed and the weight of decision criteria was determined using AHP method. According to the results, the affecting criteria were ranked as follows: environmental factors, architecture and urbanism, social, economic, physical, functional, and technology. In the end, the environmental factor was recognised as the most effective in the adaptive reuse of abandoned buildings, to decide whether to reuse or demolish a building.

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) is a neurological disorder and can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges in the affected person. Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of joint attention training and logotherapy on primary social communication, anxiety and executive functions of children with autism. Method: The research design was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and control group. The statistical population was children with autism spectrum who referred to psychiatry and psychology centers in Urmia city in 2022. A statistical sample of 45 people was selected by a targeted method and then was randomly placed in three groups of 15 people (two experimental groups and one control group). The required data was collected using questionnaires of basic social communication (Zeboff, 2010), anxiety (Spence, 1999), executive functions (Ballister-Gerard et al., 2000) through two logotherapy intervention methods Owens and LeGoff (2007) 12 sessions of 45 minutes and through shared attention training (Vakilizad and Abedi, 2015) 12 sessions of 90 minutes and then was analyzed with SPSS version 28 software and Multivariate Analysis of Covariance Test. Results: The results showed that joint attention training and logotherapy strengthened basic social communication and executive functions and weakened anxiety in children with autism. However, there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of joint attention training and logotherapy on primary social communication, anxiety and executive functions of children with autism spectrum (P>0.01). Conclusion: Joint attention training and logotherapy lead to strengthening basic social communication and executive functions and weakening anxiety in children with autism spectrum. Therefore, these two programs can be suggested as a suitable intervention to control autistic disorders and improve the quality of life of autistic children.

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to reconcile the dual embodiment of ontology and folksonomy and establish a symbiotic relationship between the two technologies for the development of folksonomized ontology as a tool for organizing information in the fields of psychology and educational sciences in cyberspace.Method: This study is of an applied nature and utilizes a combined research method. To gain conceptual knowledge and develop a semi-automated ontology based on natural language (common labels), the three-step method proposed by Alves and Santanche (extraction, enrichment, and synthesis) (2013) is utilized, along with Noy and McGuinness's approach (2001). The statistical population refers to the labels used by students of psychology and educational sciences in the digital library of Allameh Tabatabai University. The purposive sampling method is used to select and aggregate specific labels. Additionally, to evaluate the credibility and validity of the extracted concepts and relationships, they are reviewed and confirmed by 15 experts in the fields of psychology and educational sciences. The software used to create the ontology is Protégé version 5.5.Findings: A total of 15,787 labels were extracted. After identifying the fundamental concepts and their interrelationships using the Eric database, a conceptual framework with an ontological approach was developed. After confirming and validating the conceptual structure, an ontology based on folksonomy is presented as the main research finding. It consists of 277 classes and subclasses, 110 relation types, 50 samples, and 9 synonyms taken from the Eric database, and is illustrated in several graphs. Based on the statistical test performed on the ontology derived from folksonomy with a significance level of 0.0005, the model has been proven to be relatively accurate, and all components have been confirmed by experts.Conclusion: Folksonomies are "user-generated ontologies" within the Semantic Web. Leveraging the structural distinctions between folksonomies and ontologies holds the potential to advance the Semantic Web without requiring a deep understanding of complex classification systems.

. Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of anodal and cathodal brain tDCS and stimulus-response asynchrony on the backward-compatibility effect (BCE) in conditions of acute mental fatigue.Methods: The participants were 39 boys (20 to 24 years old). The instruments included the informed consent form, the Edinburgh handedness questionnaire, the dual reaction time instrument, the Stroop software, the visual analog scale to evaluate fatigue severity (VAS-F), and the tDCS device. The participants in the pre-test were tested in two conditions of non-fatigue and mental fatigue with a dual reaction time instrument. The tests consisted of two three-choice visual stimulus-response (letters and colors) with ten different stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs). Then the subjects were randomly assigned to three Anodal, Cathodal, and Sham stimulation groups. The intervention consisted of four consecutive 20-minute sessions of tDCS stimulation on the DLPFC area. One day and four days after the last stimulation session, the tests were repeated. For inferential data analysis, Mixed Model ANOVA and One-way ANOVA tests were used at a significance level of 0.05.Results: The results showed that there is a difference between different SOAs in response time to the first stimulus (RT1) which is a representation of backward adaptation, and at lower SOAs, the RT1 is shorter. Also, there is a difference in RT1 at low SOAs between fatigued and non-fatigued conditions. However, the effect of cathodal and anodal tDCS on RT1 was very small.Conclusion: In general, the results showed that at least some central aspects related to the response can be processed in parallel. Fatigue also affects this parallel processing.

Introduction: Leishmaniasis is one of the six infectious diseases emphasized by the World Health Organization. Mehran and Dehloran cities in the south of Ilam province are endemic centers of cutaneous leishmaniosis in the country. Ilam Province, having near to 420 km common border with Iraq, is exposed to many zoonotic and tropical diseases, including Cutaneous leishmaniasis. Therefore, prevention, early diagnosis and treatment are essential. The registration program is an inseparable and necessary component of comprehensive patient care systems, which can be used as a tool to show the status of the disease. By providing sufficient data, this program has a useful role for managers to use in health care planning. Registry is a necessary component of comprehensive patient care systems, which can be used as a tool to show the status of the disease, which is called follow-up. Material & Methods: The aim of Cutaneous leishmaniasis registration program in the endemic areas of Ilam province is collection and comparing the correct methods of diagnosis disease with the common one (microscopy) and determining the number of errors made by laboratory experts in the form of a cross-sectional study from May 2018 to august It is 2020. Findings: By using molecular tests (PCR) to 10% of all positive slides received from Dehloran and Mehran cities, about 5% were false positives, and 28% of all negative slides collected was false negative. It should be mentioned that the implementation of the registration program in Ilam province during the epidemic of corona disease. Discussion & Conclusion: According to the findings of this study and the importance of the disease due to its endemicity in the southern part of Ilam province, the presence of increasing prevalence of the disease in the past years, the relation between of the traffic of Arbain Hosseini pilgrims with the period of transmission of the disease, mental and physical complications caused by the disease, it is recommended to ensure the referral diagnosis reports of health and laboratory experts, and apply the correct method of diagnosis and reporting, elimination of suspicious, positive and false negative result, and start a molecular diagnosis center, that can help patients be followed up with the correct diagnosis until the of recovery of the treatment period.

Introduction: Given the importance of empathy in the process of caring for patients, this study investigated the level of empathy and its associated factors among medical residents at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences (AJUMS). Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at AJUMS in 2022. All 473 medical residents who were studying at AJUMS were included in the study using census method. Participants completed the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy. This scale has 20 items that are scored based on a 7-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: The number of medical residents who completed the questionnaires was 290 (response rate 61.3%). These medical residents' mean score of empathy was 102.81±12.75 (out of a total of 140 points). Empathy scores had no statistically significant relationship with sex, marital status, and entry year (p˃ 0.05). Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that there is a significant relationship between the level of empathy and age (r=0.223, p=0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between the empathy scores of medical residents of different specialties (p=0.0001, F=5.249), with the psychiatry residents having the highest mean empathy score (118.31±6.1) and the ophthalmology residents having the lowest (92.85±14.2). Conclusion: The findings showed that the empathy score of the residents is at a moderate level, and given the significant difference between the empathy scores of residents of different specialties, it can be argued that empathy changes under the influence of the clinical education environment and is a teachable skill.

Evacuation modelling is a tool for measuring the performance of building design for safe evacuation of occupants during emergencies such as fires. The first evacuation modelling efforts date back to the mid-70s. To date, a wide range of evacuation models have been developed, with numerous problems having been studied in various scientific disciplines. In the present study, a database of 152 original papers was developed through a systematic search in the field of evacuation modelling, and their data was used to answer three key questions. The first question was that of the role of architectural design in the entire body of research. Architectural design issues are one of the five fields in evacuation modelling research being considered in a variety of scales in the design process. The second question was that of important elements of evacuation modelling. This was answered by data analysis. From the perspective of variables and their relationship, it was found that several elements have been considered as independent variables in evacuation modelling, with their design features being considered as measures to explain other dependent parameters. The third question was that of the relationship between architectural elements and other modelling parameters. When a modelling is aimed at evaluation of a design, the results can cause significant changes in the original design.Modelling methods are also relevant to the levels of design development. In early stages, macroscopic modelling can lead to the rejection or acceptance of a design alternative or schema, or demonstrate whether or not the design conforms to the required performance criteria. In more advanced stages, microscopic modelling is applied as a tool to make fine tunings of dimensions, configuration details and layouts of columns and furniture. The results showed that the swarm intelligence-based methods are the emerging field among microscopic models that can result in lower computational cost and more accurate results.

Introduction: Considering the significant role of higher education, particularly medical sciences education, in the health and development of society, the educational system should be planned in a way that maximally caters to the community's needs. The goal of this article is to present a responsive and justice-centered education model in medical sciences education.Methods: In the quantitative phase, data from 335 faculty members of Payambar-e Azam Hospital in Hormozgan were collected using stratified random sampling and a questionnaire that identified components within a Likert scale. The content validity and structural validity of the questionnaire were confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient exceeded 0.70, indicating reliability. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with SmartPLS-3 software.Results: Equity-centered, universality, needs assessment, content, and principled are characteristics of equity-based education. According to the T-value modeling results, the factor loads of all model variables were above 0.96 and, at a 95% confidence level, were statistically significant. The highest factor load was related to enabling and inhibitory factors, with a factor load of 0.54 and variance of 0.23. In contrast, the lowest factor load was related to the dimensions of responsiveness and equity-based education with a factor load of 0.12 and a variance of 0.02.Conclusion: Universality, needs assessment, and content should be considered in equity-based and principled education in the planning of educational programs at medical universities.

Introduction: Sea cucumber is one of the important aquatic animals that has many nutritional and medicinal properties and is of medical importance due to the presence of compounds with therapeutic and antibacterial effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of selenium hybrid nanoparticles and sea cucumber extract on Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus cereus bacteria. Methods: MIC evaluation method was determined for the cytotoxic effect of sea cucumber extract on microbial cells. To carry out this research, after collecting and extracting sea cucumbers, the cytotoxicity of this extract on microbial cells was determined using the MIC method. Then, the antibacterial effect of sea cucumber extract, selenium hybrid nanoparticle and the combined effect of sea cucumber extract and selenium hybrid nanoparticle on Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus cereus bacteria were evaluated. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 16 software. Results: The results of the experiments showed that sea cucumber extract with different dilutions had an antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli bacteria, Micrococcus luteus and Bacillus cereus. These results also applied to the tests performed with selenium nanomedicine. Interestingly, after combining a certain amount of sea cucumber extract and selenium nanomedicine, a greater antibacterial effect was observed on the above-mentioned 3 bacteria. Conclusion: The synergistic effect of sea cucumber extract and selenium nanoparticles has a higher level of antibacterial properties.

Nowadays, by expanding the application of thin layers in industry and medical sciences, their fabrication methods have also received attention. One of those methods is the vaporizing material method with the help of an electron gun. The most important part in the electron gun is the electron optic, which is responsible for producing and accelerating electrons, so that it becomes possible to vaporize refractory materials in a shorter period of time by better modifying and controlling the electron beam (the shape and diameter of the electron beam) at the target location. The reduction and control of the beam diameter in this evaporation source depends on various parameters such as device geometry, magnetic field intensity, electric power, etc. Therefore, in this research, the effect of those parameters was investigated by conducting experiments and using finite element and modeling software. The simulation results revealed that the effect of the effective parameters on the beam diameter can be predicted to a good extent, so that the diameter of the electron beam decreases by changing the geometrical shape, size and displacement of the output beam components. Then, the new electron gun, compared to the existing prototype, is optimized by applying these changes in the construction of the device and conducting experiments, and its beam diameter is reduced by 40% to be more focused.

This study aims to determine the occupancy load factor (m2/person) for cinema waiting areas in accordance with Iranian conditions. The occupant load factors are determined in the Fire Standards of Iran, relatively comply with international codes and standards such as the International Building Code . bearing in mind these factors may vary in different contexts, some of them may not be accurate enough for use in Iranian social, cultural and biological conditions.In order to implement the proposed idea, the required data were collected from library studies and field surveys. To achieve more accurate occupant load factors, the area of occupancy was surveyed and the maximum number of occupants was recorded through measuring and interviewing cinema managers. The average method was then used to calculate these occupant load factors. Finally, the obtained values were compared with data from library studies.The results show that the number of movie theatres in each floor is an effective factor in the value of occupant load factor. Accordingly, the waiting area for a maximum of two movie theatres have an occupant load factor of 0.38 square metres per person, and the waiting area for three movie theatres have an occupant load factor of 0.55 square meters per person. For waiting areas reserved for more than three movie theatres, the occupant load is not calculated separately, as the results show that the type and characteristic of the adjacent occupancies have effects on the occupant load factor.

The main goal of this research is to design a composite economic-energy-environmental performance index (3EPI) for Iran's economy by generalizing the methodology of Khramov and Lee (2013) as well as evaluating the effect of variables on the composite performance index during the period from 1991 to 2021 using a time-varying parameters model (TVP). The 3EPI index is calculated in a weighted and unweighted form, and the trend is separated from the cyclic with the Hodrick-Prescott filter. The findings show that the long-term trend of the 3EPI index is in the range between 35 and 60 percent, which is significantly different from the base number of the index (i.e. 100 percent). The chronicle of the index shows that the worst performance is related to the implementation period of the structural adjustment policy (1994 and 1995), the first round of economic sanctions (2012), and the intensification of economic sanctions in the latest round of sanctions (2019). The best performance is related to the two periods of the relative stability of macroeconomic variables and the period of implementation of the JCPOA agreement. The results of the application of the TVP model show that, from 2011 to 2021, the variable of the budget deficit to GDP ratio had the most significant negative impact on Iran’s 3EPI performance index

This research was conducted to develop a model for predicting social anxiety in male and female adolescents based on perfectionism, social self-efficacy, and cognitive distortions. The research was applied and descriptive-correlational and way analysis was the research method. The statistical population of the present survey consisted of all first- and second-year male and female high school students in 2019-2020. 373 adolescents were selected through clustered random sampling for the statistical sample. Social Anxiety Scale (CAS) (LaGreca, 1998), Perfectionism Scale (PS) (Najjarian, Attari, Zargar, 1999), Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire (CDQ) (Hamamci, Büyüköztürk, 2004), and social Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ) (Gaudiano, Herbert, 2003) were the questionnaires utilized. Path analysis was used to conduct the data analysis. Perfectionism, social self-efficacy, and cognitive distortions were found to have a significant relationship with social anxiety (p0.01). In addition, perfectionism and social self-efficacy have a direct significant impact on cognitive distortions associated with social anxiety (p

The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual model of Psychopathological Self-Maximizing syndrome in Islamic sources and to evaluate its validity. According to the purpose, the qualitative and quantitative mixed method has been used. In the qualitative part, first using the method of semantic domains (Trier, 2019) with 35 related words, 481 religious propositions were collected using purposive sampling based on the principle of saturation and using the method of qualitative content analysis by the method of inductive content analysis. (2004) were analyzed by three steps of open, axial and selective coding. Then, in the quantitative part, the validity of the findings was evaluated using the method of evaluating the opinions of experts by 11 experts by calculating the content validity index. Findings showed that the Psychopathological Self-Maximizing construct has 3 axes and 14 symptoms. The first part of the desire-oriented components (insatiability of desires, desire to be more than enough for oneself, intense interest in collecting and maintaining wealth), the second part of emotion-oriented components (suffering from not achieving desires, dissatisfaction, longing for life, grief) , Lack of comfort, humiliation in front of others due to requests) and the third part are the components of behavior-oriented (self-hardening in life, excessive excuse for not giving, not paying divine rights, acquiring and keeping property through wrongdoing, not being able to reject their demands). The results of the syndrome of this construct have provided a suitable background for diagnosis, scale design and formulation of therapeutic interventions of this structure.

IntroductionThe category of culture and its impact on the environment is one of the dimensions of sustainable development and the first step towards achieving this goal. We need environmental ethics to achieve sustainability, development and environmental protection. An ethic that recognizes and responds sensitively to the complex and changing connections between man and nature. In order for such ethics to emerge, it is necessary to review educational methods and systems. The aim of this study was to study the effectiveness of teaching method based on the teacher- assistant project on environmental ethics of Kashan high school students. MethodThe research method was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of the nature of the collected data, quantitative and based on a quasi-experimental approach (pre-test-post-test design with control group). The statistical population consisted of all male students of 11th grade public schools in Kashan with a number of 1171 people who were selected using the Convenient sampling method in two classes of 30 people. To collect data, Firoozfar, Faqihi & Erfani (2021) environmental ethics questionnaire was used, the content validity of which was confirmed by environmental experts, and its reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.927. Data were analyzed at two levels of descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance) with SPSS26 software.ResultsThe results showed that teaching method based on the teacher- assistant project has a positive effect on environmental ethics in students (P

The electricity industry is not only one of the most significant industries in the nation, but it is also one of the most significant pillars of economic development. The numerous roles that electricity plays in a country's economy make it clear that anticipating electricity consumption is crucial. In this regard, the combined ARDL and ARIMA technique is used in the current study to forecast the nation's electricity demand. With an emphasis on the impact of temperature and various rates of economic growth, this study attempts to forecast Iran's total electricity demand over 30 years (2021 to 2050) under 4 alternative scenarios. The development of the scenario is based on the rise in the nation's average temperature and various rates of economic growth. The first and second scenarios rely on the country's average temperature increase of 0. 26% per annum and economic growth rates of 2% and 8%. Furthermore, the third and fourth ones are based on the country's average temperature increase of 0. 45% a year and economic growth rates of 2 and 8%. The study's findings reveal that temperature and economic growth have a substantial impact on how much electricity is consumed, but they also indicate that as temperatures rise and the GDP expands, there will be a huge increase in demand for electricity. Additionally, additional findings show that the power demand is inelastic to price fluctuations. As a result, efforts to reduce electricity consumption should be based on policies to increase energy efficiency as well as policies to regulate temperature and greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the proportion of renewable technologies in the nation's electricity supply portfolio.

Introduction Geological events from Precambrian to Quaternary have played a very important role in producing magmatic rocks in Iran. However, magmatic rocks with the ages of Precambrian, early Cambrian and specially Tertiary are much more frequent (Aghanabati, 2004). In contrast, magmatism and plutonism in Iran with Paleozoic age considered to be very rare. Volcanic rocks with the age of Ordovician-Silurian have been reported from some restricted areas of Iran such as Soltan Meydan near Shahroud (Derakhshi and Ghasemi, 2015) and Abyaneh near Kashan (Ayati et al., 2011). Volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks from the North of Neyshabour extend with a linear trend from Garineh to Bojan. In the lack of geochronological data and on the basis of stratigraphical evidence, the age of Ordovician-Silurian has been suggested for these rocks. A detailed study on petrology and geochemistry of north Neyshabour volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks can help us reconstruct the evolution of Iran bed rock during the early Paleozoic Era. The aim of this study includes petrology and major and trace element geochemistry to present critical keys to obtain some knowledge about tectono-magmatic situation of Iran during the early Paleozoic Era, especially in the Binaloud structural zone. Material and methods This study was carried out in two parts including field and laboratory works. Sampling and structural studies were carried out during field work. The petrographic studies were performed on 45thin and polished thin sections. Geological map for the study area was also prepared. Whole-rock chemical analysis of 7 samples for major, minor, trace and rare earth elements were performed at the ACME Laboratory in Canada, by using the 4AB1 method using ICP-MS and the major oxides of six basalt samples were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) at the Zarazma Laboratory. Results and discussion The study area is located in the Northeast of Iran 15 Km NE of Neyshabour city and 7 Km NE of Bojan village. The Bojan area consists of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks (Limestone, sandstone, Dolomite) and volcanic-volcanoclastic rocks (basalts, andesit-basalts, andesite, trachyte, agglomerate and tuff). Petroghraphic studies showed that major minerals in Bojan basalts are plagioclase, pyroxene and olivine and secondary and accessory minerals are apatite, ilmenite, magnetite, chlorite, calcite and epidote. The texture of the Basalts is porphyritic, glomeroporphyric and trachytic. Based on geochemical data, the TAS diagram shows that the Basalts fall within the fields of tephrite to trachyte and belong to alkaline series with sodic nature. MgO# is varied from 20.13 to 38.62 which can be interpreted on the basis of crystal differentiation in magma chamber. The low value of compatible elements such as nickel and descending trend of MgO versus SiO2 can clearly be explained in terms of olivine fractionation. In addition, the nearly constant ratios of incompatible elements such as Nb/Zr, Ce/Zr, La/Zr, and Rb/Zr in rocks with different SiO2 content can reveal the importance of primitive magma differentiation. In contrast, these ratios suggest that crustal assimilation plays no important role in changing primitive magma composition. Enrichment of LREE compared with HREE in the studied basalts can be explained by low degrees of partial melting. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns for basalts from the Bojan area show a very similar pattern with those from transitional - mildly alkalic basalts from the Eastern branch of the East African Rift. Spider diagram patterns for Bojan basalts normalized according to Thompson (1982) and Sun and Mc Donough (1989) show a clear enrichment of all trace elements compared with those from chondorite and primitive mantel. On the basis of tectonic setting discrimination diagrams the study area basalts fall in within plate alkaline domain. According to petrographical and geochemical data of Bojan volcanic rocks it can be concluded that magmatism in the Bojan area has been formed as a result of a cycle of within plate rifting when the Palaeo-Tethys Ocean started to open during the Ordovician-Silurian time.

Background: Low back pain has negative effects on different aspects of the live. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of Alexander technique on quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. Materials and Methods: This study is a single-blinded clinical trial that was performed on 80 patients with chronic low back pain in Shahid Beheshti hospital in Kashan in 2020. Patients were simple randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. In the experimental group, Alexander technique training was performed for 12 weeks, three sessions per week. The control group did not receive any intervention. The two groups completed the quality of life questionnaire before, immediately and one month after the intervention. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Chi-square and independent and paired t-test in SPSS v=22 software. Results: The mean score of total quality of life and some of its dimensions (general health, physical health, social activity, physical pain, activity limitation) immediately after the sessions and one month after the intervention were significant in the experimental group (P0.05). The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed that the mean total score of quality of life of patients in the experimental group increased significantly over time (P

Background: The use of simulation models can help elucidate the intuitive behavior of complex health care problems. Today, the complexity of problems goes far beyond our capacity to solve them manually. System simulation is considered as a wise option by approaching structural problems and understanding the complex interactions within the problems and their changes. The purpose of this study is to review the most advanced applications of system dynamics in healthcare. Materials and methods: This study is a systematic selection of articles that explored the applications of system dynamics in health care in 11 databases between 1999 and 2019. The focus of this research was on articles with the keywords including system dynamics in health care, dynamic health care analysis, continuous health care simulation or dynamic health care simulation. Results: 79 articles related to system dynamics applications in healthcare were identified in databases. Eighty-five percent of the articles focused on finance, politics, government, regulation, public health, and health care planning. Among the articles, the patient's treatment path, obesity and demand for healthcare workforce were examined. Conclusion: The tendency to use continuous simulation in healthcare has increased. However, the power of hybrid simulation can take advantage of the inherent strength of the system dynamics overview perspective, and in a hybrid model it can utilize a holistic perspective for managing health care systems. Potential areas with the application of systems dynamics in future research include planning and policy-making in public health decision-making, purchasing quality management, care and risk.

The aim of this study was to develop a structural conceptual model of abnormal self-centeredness in Islamic sources and to examine its validity. First, with a qualitative approach, in the section of collecting texts and reaching selected texts, the method of semantic domains and in the section of text analysis, the method of qualitative content analysis of Siah and Shannon (2005) were used as the method of contractual content analysis. For this purpose, three coding steps were performed and 526 codes were identified in the open coding stage, 74 pivot codes in the first stage, 15 pivot codes in the second stage, 3 selected codes as the main category and 1 central core category; And the conceptual model of the abnormal centralization structure was drawn. Then, in a quantitative approach, using the method of evaluating the opinions of experts, the content validity index of the model from 11 experts was measured by purposive sampling. Findings showed that the structure of abnormal centralization has 4 components (self-satisfaction, self-superiority, self-expression and self−exaggeration), 36 signs, 6 causal conditions (not knowing self or its place, not knowing God or His place, intrinsic self-control, self-doubt, intrinsic interest To be seen is inherently infinite) and 11 consequences.

Purpose: State-of-the-art technology refers to the best and latest technological advancement possible at a particular time. Today, public libraries play a key role in the various cultural and social spheres of society. Although various technologies can help to fulfill the basic roles of public libraries correctly and completely, their application in the context of these libraries undoubtedly faces many complexities and difficulties. This study aims to identify the state-of-the-art technologies that can be used in the management of public libraries, as well as to determine the priority of their use in public libraries in Iran. Method: In the first step, based on the library study method and literature review, a preliminary list of state-of-the-art technologies applicable to public library management, as well as a list of their evaluation criteria was extracted. In order to validate the initial lists, two qualitative methods based on the consensus of stakeholders (Delphi panel and nominal group) were used with the presence of the main stakeholders in public libraries in the areas of 1) finance, 2) management and administration, 3) technology, 4) librarianship, and 5) user. In the second step, in order to evaluate technologies based on evaluation criteria, Shannon entropy method was used to weight the evaluation criteria, and group TOPSIS method was employed to prioritize state-of-the-art technologies based on the extracted criteria. Findings: In the first step, a valid list was obtained, which includes 28 state-of-the-art technologies applicable in the management of public libraries and 27 evaluation criteria classified into three levels: strategic (7 criteria), technical and operational (11 criteria) and user (9 criteria). In the second step, the priority of the extracted state-of-the-art technologies was obtained based on the evaluation criteria. Based on these results, social network/messenger, high speed internet on fiber optic platform, universal library membership system (linked library), public library mobile application and digital library system were in the first to fifth priorities of state-of-the-art technologies. Originality/value: According to these 28 categories of state-of-the-art technologies, as well as the development and application of high-priority technologies, it is possible to improve the quality of performance of public libraries in various fields. Therefore, based on the research results, it is suggested that in addition to creating soft and hard infrastructures for the identified technologies, Iran Public Libraries Foundation evaluate the feasibility of designing and implementing or using the priority technologies.

"Forgiveness of spouses" is one of the effective factors in strengthening the foundation of the family. The aim of this study was to present the components of couple forgiveness based on Islamic sources. This research is in terms of descriptive-analytical method that by collecting, classifying and analyzing information from verses and hadiths to compile the components of "forgiveness of couples". In this study, the statistical population of Islamic sources including the Quran and hadith communities is ranked first and second according to the classification of the University of Quran and Hadith. Findings showed that the structure of "forgiveness" towards the spouse according to Islamic teachings has 8 components: 1. Positive secondary evaluation; 2. Paying attention to the effects of forgiveness; 3. Paying attention to the pleasure of God and the Ahl al-Bayt; 4. Compassionate and empathetic attitude; 5. Positivism and flexibility; 6. Love and expression of affection; 7. Self-control; 8. Prayers to God. The components of forgiveness among couples with an Islamic approach have wide spiritual dimensions and give a special place to spirituality compared to competing models. The findings of this study have provided a suitable platform for developing a scale and educational package for "couple forgiveness".

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the perception of Telegram and Instagram use by graduate students of Allameh Tabataba'i University using the uses and gratification expectancy model. Methods: The research consisted of an analysis of data collected via surveys. The overall statistical population was the 2,200 postgraduate students of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of Allameh Tabataba'i University. The sample size was 327 based on a Morgan table; data were collected using two researcher-designed questionnaires. In the first stage, to select the most applied mobile social media by students, they were asked to determine which of the social media based on mobile phones they use the most. The collection revealed that Telegram and Instagram were the most used among students. A second questionnaire was developed to collect data about these two mobile social media usage. The data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a factor analysis test to confirm the validity of the questions and identify key factors of each component, and the structural equation modeling technique was used. Results: 41.90% of respondents were male and 53.52% of them were female. The age of most respondents (52.60%) is between 20 and 25 years old and the lowest (3.67%) is over 35 years old. The use of Telegram (46.15%) was greater than Instagram usage (30.77%). The highest average use of Telegram and Instagram was 1 to 3 hours a day. Analysis of variables showed that while the satisfaction with information sharing using Instagram was stronger than Telegram, with a path coefficient of 0.209, the satisfaction with the effect of perceived pleasure using Telegram was higher than Instagram, with a path coefficient of 0.266. There were no significant differences in the other variables: social interaction, spending time, self-reporting, and media attractiveness. They have also stated that using the telegram makes them feel more relaxed, gives them a sense of worth, and reinforces individual values in them. Conclusions: The results showed that graduate students used both media for different purposes such as social interaction, spending time, and self-reporting, and despite the filtering of Telegram, no significant difference was observed between the use of Telegram and Instagram, and almost both media was equally sought after by users. The respondents addressed that they can meet their information needs without the help of others on these social media, so they have been able to expose their interests and desires to others. They think that social media provides information to other people without censorship, therefore, they may cause a kind of transparency in society.

Background and Aim: Cancer is one of the incurable diseases that in addition to drug and medical treatment; Psychological interventions are also effective in reducing its psychological consequences. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral hypnosis therapy and mindfulness therapy on the dimensions of fear of recurrence in women with breast cancer. Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental. The statistical population of the study was women with breast cancer referred to medical centers in Gorgan in the second half of 1398. Sample size according to test power (0.80), effect size (0.50) and confidence level (0.05) according to Cohenchr('39')s table for the sample group (15 people). 45 people were selected according to the entry criteria. After selecting the prototype group; It was randomly divided into three groups of 15 and then by random assignment two of the groups were considered as intervention group and the other group as control group. The research instrument was the Fear of Recurrence Questionnaire. The intervention groups were trained in cognitive-behavioral hypnosis and group mindfulness therapy. At the end, the intervention was performed on the groups. Data analysis by examining statistical assumptions; Analysis of variance was performed in SPSS-24 software. Results: The results of analysis of variance showed that the interventions had a significant effect on fear of recurrence. The results of the comparison also showed that cognitive-behavioral hypnosis intervention was more effective in improving the fear of recurrence. Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the fear of relapse in cancer patients under the influence of cognitive-behavioral hypnosis treatment has improved. Therefore, the use of this treatment protocol is recommended for cancer patients.

It is necessary to pay attention to the dimensions of interaction as a basic concept in computer environments to understand and draw the psychological function and users’ behaviors and the optimal design of Interactive Information Retrieval systems. Also the issue of interaction, due to its complex nature, requires the simultaneous attention of personal-cognitive, behavioral, environmental factors of users related to the process of information retrieval and correct understanding of these components. Hence, the main aim of this study is presenting a framework for main and sub elements of information retrieval interaction based on social-cognitive theory and to develop a checklist for Interactive Information Retrieval based on this theory in digital libraries. The present study was conducted using library and survey methods. In this regard the survey of experts and Delphi panels were used in two stages. Initially, the extraction and evaluation of various components of Interactive Information Retrieval in digital library systems as well as the effective components of social-cognitive theory were done via the study of different texts. Then, the dimensions and components of interaction, based on social-cognitive theory were calculated using academic experts’ opinions. These elements were set and validated in a five-option Likert scale questionnaire. The main components include three dimensions of interaction with information, interaction with interface and interaction with tasks and sub-components, each of which forms the effect group and social-cognitive theory with the three main components of personality, environment and behavior form the causes group. The community of experts included 17 experts in the field of information retrieval based on the snowball sampling method. Considering the high values of Kendall consensus coefficient in two components of personality and behavior of about 0.77 and the coefficient of 0.72 in the environment component, a total of 60 components in these three dimensions were agreed. Based on the research findings and in addition to the two stages of Delphi and after removing the components with an average of less than three in the Likert scale, 21 components in the personal dimension, 20 components in the behavior dimension and 19 components in the environment dimension were approved by the research experts. The results indicated that the authenticity item of all three components of personality, behavior and environment and comprehensiveness, objective work task complexity items of environment and subjective work task difficulity item of behavior dimension were recognized as unimportant items according to the opinion of research experts and were eliminated. The framework obtained from this study can be used as the basis for future research to apply these components with emphasis on three basic aspects of user behavior in the optimal design of Interactive Information Retrieval systems.

Objective: Today, start-ups play an important role in all industries and businesses. In this regard book-related industries are one of the most important cultural industries in all of countries. So it is accordingly important in Iran. Considering the activities of start-ups in the field of books, it is necessary to conduct periodic studies on the status and quality of their activities. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study was to explain the activity status of active startups in the field of book in Iran and present development scenarios for them.Methodology: The approach used in this study is mixed (quantitative and qualitative). This means that in the first stage of the research, a quantitative approach was used to collect information and explain the status of start-ups. Then in the second part of the research, a qualitative approach was used to formulate their future scenarios. In the quantitative part of the present study, survey research method was used. Also in the second part of this study, which is dedicated to scenario development for future drawing, formative scenario planning method was used. In the first part of the study population, there were 154 active start-ups in the field of books. According to this, 58 of which were in the field of electronic books, 26 of them are in the field of audio books, 65 of them are in the field of distribution and sales of printed books and 5 of them are in the field of social networks. In the second part of the present study, semi-open interviews were conducted with 9 scientific and executive experts in this field to formulate scenarios. To analyze the contents of interviews, hidden qualitative content analysis with inductive approach was used.Findings: The results of this study showed that the main focus of startups is in Tehran and their formation life dates back to the last two decades. In general, start-ups in this field are weak and this weakness is due to the weak field of books in the country. The financial and infrastructure capabilities of these companies are very low and in most cases require support, and investor institutions and accelerators rarely enter these areas due to the slight profitability of this field. In terms of legal and administrative infrastructures, there are many gaps facing these companies in the book industry and it is necessary to reform the procedures, laws and executive infrastructures and facilitate the activities of these institutions.

Background: The outlook for hospital care is changing rapidly. Supply and demand stimuli in the health service system are changing dramatically. The health department of the Social Security Administration has also been challenged by the growing number of patients. This study was conducted to help this organization with the aim of designing a conceptual causal model of the interaction between supply and demand of health care. Materials and Methods: This research is a qualitative study that was conducted in 2020. It presented a conceptual model in two steps in the first step, semi-structured interviews were used to extract important factors in the supply and demand of health services in hospitals. In the second step, the system simulation approach was used and the feedback relationships between the patient's routes to the hospital and the provision of medical services were presented. Results: According to the study hypothesis, the prevalence of disease and budget allocation as an indicator of medical need and expected medical demand, positively affect the number of visits to hospitals of the Social Security Organization. Accordingly, four sub-models of patient flow, health care budget, treatment staff (physician, nurse) and hospital capacity were extracted. Conclusion: Medical budgets allocated to hospitals to improve medical facilities and increase the number of staff, have created positive expectations among social security insured regarding the use of hospital services. Paying attention to providing sufficient manpower (doctor, nurse) and bed capacity with the budget which is spent for this service are the indicators of improving the quality of services.

Introduction and purpose: Vitiligo is the most common depigmenting skin disorder. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on body dysmorphic disorder and rumination in people with vitiligo. Methods: This applied research was conducted based on a Pre-test/Post-test/ follow-up design with the control group. The statistical population of the study included all patients with vitiligo referred to dermatologists in dermatology and cosmetic clinics in Ahvaz in 2019. Among them, 30 patients were selected by purposeful sampling method and assigned to two groups of cased and control. In order to collect data, the following questionnaires were used: Body Dysmorphic Disorder of Littleton, Aksom and Puri (2005), as well as Rumination of Nolen, Hoxma and Marv (1991). The experimental group received acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) (10 90-minute sessions), while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 22) using repeated measure analysis of variance using.

Objective: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic review of published studies on the topic of developing ontologies based on folksonomies as a means of information management in electronic environments. Method: This study is conducted using the systematic review method. After designating the questions, input, and output criteria, 87 papers published during 2003-2019 were obtained through querying domestic and international research databases. After screening the results, 29 papers (27 papers in English and 2 papers in Farsi) were closely studied and systematically analyzed. The data was entered into Excel for further statistical analysis and visualization. Findings: This study verifies the positive results of using folksonomized ontologies in central areas, including information management, and recovery and machine learning. The purpose of organizing knowledge is the quick transfer and retrieval of information. The inefficiency of traditional information organizing tools has always made it difficult to access information quickly and easily. The growth and development of information organization over time indicates a two-way relationship between knowledge growth and organizational evolution. This mutual influence between human knowledge and its organization has been accepted as a principle and its importance has increased over time. It seems that along with the increasing development of the world of knowledge, continuous review and improvement of organizational systems are inevitable. Moreover, this study shows the increasing popularity of folksonomized ontologies among users for determining semantic relationships between tags benefiting from more extensive sets of data. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that the synthesis between ontologies and folksonomies can facilitate semantic web development by leveraging their differences. An important factor in emphasizing the use of the tacit meanings of folksonomy is the high potential of folksonomy in facilitating the creation of semantic relationships. Conclusion: Although studies of the application of folksonomy in the development of ontologies have been conducted since 2003, semantic limitations in folksonomy have remained a challenging issue over last decades. However, the vast majority of user-generated folksonomies offer a promising future for semantic web development. Considering the significance of synthesizing folksonomies and ontologies in improving the semantic relationships in information systems and attending to users’ needs by obtaining useful data from tags, further studies are required to find effective solutions to the semantic ambiguities tags and to structure them. This study offers new perspectives to assist experts in the fields of information management and the semantic web.

IntroductionUniversities have experienced different generations in during their lives. The first generation of universities had a purely educational function. The second generation of universities also had a research function. In the third generation, the application of research was considered. The third generation of universities is called the: Entrepreneur University. Third generation universities must be able to be independent and Prepare your graduates to enter in the job market. The purpose of this study is to design a conceptual model for third generation universities in the distance education system.MethodThe method used in this research is Grounded theory. By using a purposeful sampling method, 46 faculty members of Payame Noor University were select. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Then the data were coded by the three-step method in Grounded theory.ResultsExecution of the open coding step identified 114 concepts. In axial coding stage, concepts were summarized into 23 sub-categories and 8 main categories. Then a paradigm model was drawn with causal conditions (organizational space of university), contextual conditions (organizational infrastructure), intervening conditions (autonomy, globalization and effective interactions), central phenomenon (third generation university), strategies (administrative and executive review) and outcome (development-oriented society). Finally, conceptual model of the third generation university was created.DiscussionBased on the conceptual model obtained, the university should be reviewed. This review should be done in the field of university hardware and software. Therefore, changes in strategies, perspectives, facilities and equipment are necessary for the third generation. In this case, the university can be a factor in the comprehensive development of society. To achieve this, the university must support from the new ideas and creativity of its staff. Also, creative beliefs in the workplace should replace routine beliefs. In the field of hardware, the necessary equipment to develop the talents of employees should be provided to them. In addition, the university must have a good relationship with other universities and other sections of society. To become a third-generation university, administrative approaches must become more flexible and educational policies must change. The new needs for educational and research should be known and based on those needs, educational and research goals should be set. By making these changes, the university will be on the path of economic and social development which creates innovative products and creative services. Finally, the establishment of this type of university leads to sustainable development in society.

Integration of existing ontologies is an approach for reusing ontology elements in construction of a new ontology. Researchers have proposed various tools and methods for ontology merging; but very few of them work in an integrated manner with a comprehensive ontology construction methodology and also none of them support Persian language. In this paper, we proposed a systematic merge-based method for reusing ontology elements with Persian support in ontology construction. Proposed method built based on the design science research method. The process and algorithms of proposed method implemented and improved based on general cycle of design science method. Proposed method used to create a reference ontology for educational and research organizations in the subset of Iranian ministry of science, research and technology. Final product evaluated and verified by a gold standard. An ontology merge method based on reuse of ontology elements and a higher education ontology are main products of this research.

The water used in swimming pools, like drinking water, must comply with the required quality. Failure to comply with the physical, chemical and biological criteria of the pools will lead to health hurt to swimmers. In this cross-sectional paper carried out with a descriptive-analytical approach in the summer of 2019, 23 public and private pools located in the south of Tehran (districts 18 and 19) were selected. Pool water sampling was performed to determine microbial indices including thermophilic coliforms, heterotrophic plate count (HPC), and physicochemical parameters including turbidity, pH and residual chlorine. Then, each of the studied parameters was assigned a weight based on their importance and their status was analyzed by water quality index. Based on the findings, the microbial indices of thermophilic coliforms and HPC in the water of the sampled pools were at the desired level in 74 and 26.1% of samples, respectively. Regarding turbidity, pH and residual chlorine content in 13.1, 60.9 and 47.9% of the samples, were at the acceptable values, respectively. The results also showed that none of the sampled water was in excellent condition and 68% of the samples were in fair condition in terms of water quality. According to the obtained results, the necessity of continuous sampling of pool water to check their quality and effective interventions and finally the imposition of fines is suggested for those which their quality is not in accordance with the standards.

The purpose of this study was the effectiveness of schema therapy on the difficulty in emotion regulation and aggression in adolescent girl students. The research method was Quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up with the control group. The statistical population of this study included all-female high school students in the year 2019-2020, that using the purposive sampling method, 40 of them were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental and the control group (each group of 20 people). Emotion Difficulty Regulation Questionnaire and Aggression Questionnaire were used in three steps to collecting data. The experimental group received Schema Therapy (8 sessions 90 minutes) but the control group received no treatments. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. The results showed that schema therapy was effective in reducing all subscales of difficulty in regulating emotion and aggression in adolescent female students. But over time, this effect was significantly reduced in the follow-up phase. In fact, schema therapy, by working on the multidimensional dimensions of the individual, provides the ground for change and is effective. Adolescence itself is associated with difficulty in cognitive regulation and behavioral abnormalities, including aggression, so schema therapy can be used as a means of reducing the difficulty in cognitive regulation and aggression in the adolescent.

Background and Objective: Vitiligo disease is one of the most common skin color disorders that can reduce the psychological well-being of individuals. The purpose of this study was to the comparison of the effectiveness of schema therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) among the psychological well-being of individuals with vitiligo skin disease of Ahvaz. Materials and Methods: This study was experimental with pre-test, post-test, follow-up, and a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all patients with vitiligo skin disease referred to dermatologists in dermatology and cosmetic clinics in Ahvaz in 2019. Using the purposeful sampling method, 45 persons were selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group, each group including 15 participants. In order to collect data, Ryff Psychological Well-being Questionnaire was used. The experimental groups underwent eight 90-minute sessions of schema therapy and ACT, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis via SPSS software version 22. Results: In the acceptance and commitment group, the mean (SD) psychological well-being score increased from 46.8 (8) in the pre-test to 80.8 (7.9) in the post-test and 79.2 (7.7) in the follow-up stage, P

Background and Objective: Cancer as a negative stress factor will have a severe impact on patients' mental and physical health. The aim of this study was to investigate the causal relationship between perceived stress, perceived social support, and resilience with emotional adjustment mediated by life satisfaction among breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, this study's statistical population was 420 patients with cancer patients referred to Tehran hospitals from October to December 2017. By purposeful sampling method, 200 people were selected as the sample through Cochran's formula. The instruments used in this study were the Perceived Stress Scale, Perceived Social Support, Resilience, Emotional Adjustment, and Life Satisfaction Questionnaire. The evaluation of the proposed model was performed using the path analysis method. Correlation tests such as the Pearson correlation coefficient and regression test were used to test the relationships. Correlation tests such as the Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used to test the relationships using SPSS software version 23 and AMOS software version 23. Results: With increasing perceived stress with a mean (SD) of 24.2 (8.7), emotional adjustment with a mean (SD) decreased by 14.9 (4.8), P

Introduction: At present, the increase in the Earth's population has led to an increase in consumption, and an abnormal harvest of water and soil resources.MaydavoodPlain is a very fertile plain with rich water resources in the east of Khuzestan Province.In recent years, water contamination and sinkholehazards have happened in this plain.To date, very few environmental studies have been carried out on this plain. Material and methods: In this study, field and laboratory studies have been used to study the environmental hazards of the Maydavood Plain. During field studies, many sinkholes around the Maydavood Plain were identified and their dimensions were measured. Samples were collectedfrom the rocks and water resources of the region. The solubility test was carried outon gypsum samplesof Gachsaran Formationusing the circulation method. By using the Geographic Information System (GIS), isopotential map of sulfate and calcium ions was prepared for the plain. The ICP-OES analysis was used to determine the amount of heavy metals in water.GISwas also used toprepare theisopotential map ofheavy metals in the Maydavood Plain. Results and discussion: According to the office studies, the MaydavoodPlain is surrounded by Asmariand Gachsaran Formation and the bedrock of this plain is Gachsaran Formation that consists of gypsum and marlstones.All of thesinkholes are formed near the Gachsaran Formation. Results of the solubility test showed that gypsums had high solubility. Base on the isopotential map of sulfate and calcium ions, the amount of these ions were more concentrated around Sarelah and Dogacheh villages than other parts of the plain due to the dissolution of Gachsaran Formation gypsum. Hydrological studies showed that during the last 15 years, the groundwater level of the Maydavood Plain has decreasedabout 5 meters. In recent years, a few sudden sinkholes were formed, especially around Sarelah and Dogacheh villages due to the high solubility of Gachsaran Formation gypsum and a decrease in groundwater level. The type of these sinkholes a is cover collapse. Hydrochemical analysis of groundwater showed that 81, 31, 44, and 100 % of deep wellshad concentrations greater than permissible valuesof arsenic, iron, manganese,and nickel, respectively.Also, concentrations of vanadium in all of the deep wells were lower than the permissible value. Base on heavy metals isopotential map, the amount of heavy metals around of South MaydavoodPlain (Sufla) and MaydavoodVasati villages were higher than other parts of the plain. The source of heavy metals in the plain was the petroleum material pollution from oil spring existing. Conclusion: By controlling the excessive pumping of groundwater and using artificial nourishment, it is possible to prevent the decrease of groundwater quality and the formation of new sinkholes in the plain. Otherwise, the new sinkhole may be formed and cause damage. High concentrations of heavy metals in groundwater can be hazardous for the health of people living in this region. To avoid this hazard, it is suggestedto providethe drinking water for the MaydavoodPlain’s populationfrom another area with a permissible value ofheavy metals.

The reliability of the questionnaire which was measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient was more than 0.8. To test the hypotheses, the SEM structural equation modeling test using the least partial least squares (PLS) method was used. In order to evaluate the combined-diagnostic validity of CR test, convergence of variables from AVE test and divergence of variables from Fornell-Locker index were used. The software used in this research is SPSS and SmartPLS. Findings: Descriptive findings showed that in terms of the experience of using video articles and familiarity with it, 75.10% of respondents were not familiar with video articles or had no experience using it. In the statistical analysis, the obtained mean score of social influence (3.97) shows that the people in this study believed that the use and publication of video articles has made more researchers known in the community and video articles published by other researchers can influence the decision of other researchers to use video articles. The mean score of the facilitating conditions is above average (3.94) and the research community believed that teaching, using and publishing video articles is simple and understandable. The test of research hypotheses also showed that behavioral intention (with the impact factor of 0.271) and facilitating conditions (with the impact factor of 0.322) have a positive and significant effect on the intention to use. The results obtained in this study, unlike other studies, indicate that "facilitating conditions" have the greatest impact on the factors of "performance expectancy", "effort expectancy" and "social influence" in accepting the publication of video articles. The more organizations provide the appropriate hardware, software, training and support conditions for the use of a technology, the faster it will be accepted by users. Moreover, after examining the effect of age and gender variables, it was found that age and gender have no significant effect on any of the research structures. Only a significant relationship was observed between the variables and effort expectancy. Therefore, it can be concluded that age and gender do not affect the amount of people's behavioral desire to publish video articles and their intention to use them, and therefore one of the ways to encourage people to accept and use video articles is to provide a clear picture of the positive aspects of using video articles as well as to create appropriate conditions. Originality/value: This study focuses on use of new technologies for presenting scientific results, improving scholarly communication, and developing e-Journals service. Due to the main role of public libraries in teaching and promoting science, with the introduction and introduction of video articles by librarians, the awareness and knowledge of library visitors about video articles will increase. Acceptance and use of databases is directly related to users' information-seeking behavior according to knowledge/skill, personal and professional characteristics of library users. Increasing awareness can have a positive effect on the behavioral intention of different segments of society to use video articles.

The purpose of this study was to design an effective model of virtuous organizations with emphasis on the ، Cooperative Development Bank and using the integrated method (exploratory) in four stages: At first, the documents, platforms and indices of virtuous organizations were extracted, then the Delphi method (41) was used for final compilation of the indices. Factor analysis has been used to identify the components and finally the extraction model has been validated by structural equation modeling. The statistical population in qualitative and quantitative part of research consisted of experts, faculty members and staff and experts of Isfahan Cooperative Development Bank and five cities of Isfahan province (160) that were evaluated using survey technique. Finally, the model of virtuous organizations in Co-operative Development Bank was extracted in the form of 10 components of participatory leadership, core team, managers' commitment and support, structural support, organizational strategies, organizational communication, upstream documents, environmental dynamics and technological infrastructure and 67 indicators and the data collected had a good fit in the model of virtuous organizations.

Background and objective: According to the high importance of sustainable crop production in the agro-industry units, intelligent systems such as artificial neural networks should be used to manage farm units.Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to compare the performance of MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron) and RBF (Radial Basis Functions) neural network models in order to modeling and estimating of the sugarcane crop yield and investigate the factors affecting it. Materials and Methods: The study was analytical and its database contained of a matrix elements. Required data for this research were obtained from the Debel Khazaei sugar cane agro-industry farm during the years 2016 to 2019. The input variables and their units were soil electrical conductivity (dS.m-1), Phosphate and Nitrogen chemical fertilizer (kg.ha-1), water consumption (m3.ha-1), also, irrigation times, month of harvest, age of crop, sugarcane variety, soil texture (non-dimensional), respectively. The analysis was performed by MATLAB 2017 software. Results: By comparing the error parameters of RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and the MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error), and according to indexes of R2 (coefficient of determination) and the EF (Model Efficiency) and, in the validation phase the RBF model was the best model with 0.064494 (%), 0.037686, 0.7576 and 0.800409 (non-dimensional) respectively. Also, the RBF model indicated that the sugarcane variety and soil electrical conductivity were the most important factors affecting the sugar-cane yield. Conclusion: By selecting the appropriate variety of sugarcane and controlling the amount of electrical conductivity of the soil, the yield per unit area can be increased, resulting in greater productivity of the inputs and more sustainable production.

Intertextuality, refers to the nested network of communication of texts. With regard to the theory and method, the position of intertextuality has been investigated and the question is: is a methodological view of intertextuality fundamentally justifiable? Intertextuality as a postmodern concept is at the crossroads of falling into the abyss of conceptual reductionism on the one hand and being confined to the abstraction of theory on the other hand. The answer to this question in this paper is a conditional "yes". Intertextuality is a method, provided that the abstract concept of intertextuality is reduced to something like traditional critique of references. The lack of attention of the early founders of the word intertextuality, such as Kristeva and Barthes, to apply intertextuality method, the warning of intertextuality reduction to source and the emphasis on theory instead of the method posed a challenge that led the next generation of intertextuality researchers to intertextuality method and application. Analysis of intertextual theory, its reduction to the method and its use in a scientific research is one of the main objectives of this study.

In recent decades, the process of returning rural migrants to their original place of residence can be considered one of the most important trends in demographic mobility. That is due to the general trend of changing living conditions and its relative improvement in the villages compared to the past and the fact that the primary reasons for migration no longer exist or the benefits of living in the city as a destination have decreased. Given the importance of analyzing such trends in the region and the field of city and village relations, the present article seeks to investigate the causes and motivations of return migration among rural migrants in the city of Khorram Abad. The present research is an applied research of the descriptive-correlational type and the statistical population includes all rural immigrants who have returned to their villages during the years 2006-2016(N=24160).The research instrument is a researcher-made questionnaire and the validity and reliability of its form and content have been confirmed using the opinions of experts in the fields of economics and rural development as well as the Cronbach's alpha test. The results of independent t-test also suggested that there is a significant difference in the rate of desire to return between the group of landowners and non-owners in the village, people who have temporary and permanent jobs in the city, those who own agricultural land, and those who own only residential land in the village.

In todaychr('39')s competitive information age, libraries- whether traditional or digital- must seek to provide novel services to keep their users satisfied, more than any time ever. Internet of Things is one of the phenomena that can be helpful to digital libraries in provision of novel library services. The key objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive model for utilizing Internet of Things to provide services in digital libraries. In order to achieve this objective, at first, the articles in relation to this topic are explored and the criteria and indicators of the above model are extracted from them. These criteria and indicators have been gained by observing real-world digital libraries. A Delphi panel consisting of 14 experts validated our proposed model in three rounds. Finally, a model containing six comprehensive metrics (hardware features, software facilities, network and telecommunication infrastructure, required standards, security issues, and human resource features) and 83 indicators for the use of Internet of Thing in digital library services were presented. This model can be a roadmap for libraries that are trying to use the Internet of Things to provide new services. The results of this research are useful and effective in promoting the quality of digital libraries and facilitating interaction between users and these types of libraries.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between popular concepts of abnormal attention to self and to develop a conceptual process model of those concepts in Islamic sources and to assess its validity. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used for this purpose. In the qualitative section, first, using semantic domains method collected from 262 related words, 3105 Islamic narratives were analyzed using purposeful sampling based on saturation principle. The final narratives were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method of Sieh and Shannon (2005) through conventional content analysis and three open, axial and selective coding steps. Subsequently, the causal components of the components were merged and the relationships between the components, the causal conditions, and the consequences were examined and the initial process model was designed. In the quantitative section, the degree of consistency of the coding findings with the documents and the degree of fit to the components were validated by 11 experts, and the degree of consistency between the findings was correlated with the documentation by 5 experts by calculating the content validity index. The findings of the research showed that combining the common causal conditions of not knowing one's self or its status, not knowing God or His status and self-giving independently leads to self-indulgence and on the other hand combining the causal specific conditions of selfishness, self-esteem, intrinsic interest in Visibility and infiniteness create three components of self-efficacy, self-efficacy, and self-enhancement. Also, each of these components are self-generating cognitive-behavioral consequences.

Background and Objective: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a development nervous disorder that it is usually caused by a defect in the executive functions of the brain and reduces the amount of attention, accuracy, and increased mobility and impulsive behaviors in the individual. This study was performed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive rehabilitation after drug therapy on the executive functions of brains of childrens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Methods: In this clinical trial study, 45 children with ADHD were randomly divided into three groups including one control and two intervention groups, were monitored by the education counseling center. Intervention group one (cognitive rehabilitation) and intervention group two (cognitive rehabilitation after medication) were received therapeutic intervention for 12 sessions of 45 minutes, twice a week. No intervention was performed for the control group. After the last treatment session, a post-test was performed. The follow-up phase took place 1.5 months after the end of the last intervention session. Results: The executive functions of the brains of children with cognitive impairment in the cognitive rehabilitation group and the cognitive rehabilitation group after drug therapy showed a significant increase in comparison with the control group (P
