Abstract:
This study
investigated the effects of stress on visual selective attention
according to the five-factor model of personality (FFM). The
sample was selected with respect to neuropsychological control
variables by multistage cluster sampling from unmarried male
students of Tehran universities. On this account, there were 140
subjects equally distributed in 7 groups including six
experimental groups and one control group. Subjects in
experimental groups administered cognitive stressful tasks and
then their visual selective attention was assessed. The control
group’s visual selective attention was assessed without
administrating cognitive stressful tasks. Sum of errors in
counting and classification were assigned as visual attention
indexes. Results indicated that stress increased significantly
in both counting and classification errors (p<0.001). In
addition, all experimental groups aggravated the effect of
stress on both counting error and classification error (p<0.05)
significantly, except for E, the group with high levels of
extraversion that reduced and inverted that effect (p<0.05)
significantly. These results revealed that stress reduces the
visual selective attention on neutral stimuli. Although, N, O,
A, and C intensify the negative effect of stress on visual
selective attention, E reduces and inverts this negative effect.

Abstract:
A house can’t fulfill the ideal needs of its settlers unless it
can provide the first and primary needs of them. Thus in this
paper we are going to analyze the construction of contemporary
houses in Sirjan and determine the amount of sensibility and
acceptability of the present constructions. In this respect
researcher tried to find a general understanding of cultural,
social, and economical elements in Sirjan that directly and
indirectly influence the design of the house, and then
researcher carried on some descriptive and analytical searches
and found the pattern of changing the construction and the way
of rebuilding the contemporary houses in Sirjan. Finally
researcher simplified the common construction and Clite Plan of
the city and compared them with good and suitable houses to have
better efficiency. The result of this study finally will give
the architects a general framework diagram that is based on the
values of a good and standard place, this is done by verifying
the construction and skeleton of recent houses in Sirjan either
by comparing with old and figurative patterns and following a
logical way or by having an appropriate structure that is based
on modern needs. Of course more effort is needed to determine
the other criteria of housing in Sirjan to add good information
to present findings.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present research is to study and consider the
relationship between knowledge management and information
technology in staff of Day bank and representing a model about
it. The present study is correlational descriptive research. The
participants include all 1550 of Day bank staff in 2011 and
2012. The multi-stage random sampling was done 300 by Murgan
table and 300 participants were selected. Two questionnaires of
knowledge management and information technology were used.
Pearson correlation and multi-regression were used to analyze
the data. The results showed that there is a relationship
between using IT and establishment of knowledge management among
staffs with 95%
confidence interval. Regression analysis showed that knowledge
management predicted 0.674
of variance of
using IT. Knowledge storage (Beta=0.323) has more stake in
prediction of IT using. Also the effect coefficients of
knowledge creation variable
(B=0.246), knowledge achievement (B=0.213), applying
(B=0.429), storage (B=0.323) and knowledge propagation (B=0.173)
show that these variables can predict the changes of using and
applying IT among bank staffs. It shows the positive
relationship between sub-scales of knowledge management
(knowledge creation, knowledge achievement, knowledge storage,
knowledge propagation and knowledge using) and use of IT in Day
bank.

Abstract:
Power distribution process from the central government to local
governments results in the distribution of economic power, as
well. This in turn leads to the reduction of the central
government’s economic dominance over the local states. This
approach realizes the local governments’ decisions regarding the
selection of the type of economic products and the way to
produce and distribute them (with respect to natural and human
powers). And, this makes the key role of people in economic and
survival issues clearer and ends in economic independence and
production increase. Production increase provides the
opportunity for trade growth at local, regional, and national
levels and leads to economic dynamicity, growth, and
development. Such economic policies can lead to the objectives
like increasing people welfare, the economic growth of local
governments, and finally economic growth of central government.
This paper is aimed to examine decentralization process and
power distribution from the central government to the local ones
in form of enhancing its economic efficiency. Research method is
of descriptive-analytical type and library references were used
in parallel with the theoretical principles of economics and
political geography. This study tries to present a new approach
for the role of decentralization in enhancing economic power.
Results of the study indicate that decentralization and power
distribution from the central government to the local ones first
leads to the increase of economic power of the local government
and finally the central government’s.

Abstract:
The field of nanotechnology is
one of the fastest growing areas of research and technology and
numerous workers currently are potentially exposed to engineered
nanomaterials (ENMs) in research and industrial sitting.
furthermore. initial studies show that toxicity of ENMs is
significantly interrelated with emerging physicochemical
characteristics of these materials, and may be adverse affects
on human health. Aims:
Evaluation of
physicochemical
properties and toxicology
and exposure
of employees
to determine the
level of risk by control
banding(CB) method. Methods: This research is a
descriptive and cross-sectional study of exposure to ENMs in 20
staff members and students involved in five different activities
of production and consumption of ENMs. The level of risk factors
was determined by a checklist as qualitative assessment of risk
based on CB method. Data analysis was performed using Excel
software. Results: The study show that highest level of
severity index and probability score of risk factors about the
process of identifying functional groups of carbon nanotubes are
60 and 67.5, respectively, while the lowest scores for producing
silver nanoparticles are 50, 41.25 out of 100. Conclusions :
Application of CB method showed that to reduce risk level of
exposed to, ENMs,
control measures focus on
reducing probability score. Thus, some mechanisms, such as
engineering controls, replacing hazardous processes and
materials with safer ones, and administrative controls may be
offered to reduce amount of generated dust and number of workers
exposed to ENMs.

Abstract:
The role of regular education programmed is to help both the
exceptional and non-exceptional child to achieve optimum
physical, mental, and social growth which is said to be
achievable in normal school set-up with the help of teachers.
Exceptional children are those who are physically gifted, highly
creative or mentally gifted or physically and mentally retarded.
They are children with special needs and abilities which are
currently advocated to be included or integrated into regular
classes and normal environment with the expectation that the
teachers will play their roles in helping to inculcate in them
what is needed as a member of the society. The paper x-rays the
societal view and attitude towards exceptional children,
inclusion and exceptional children’s education, the importance
of inclusion to the exceptional children and the role of
teachers in regular classes in helping exceptional children. The
paper recommends inclusion as a means to enhance the total
development of exceptional children who in turn are expected to
be useful to them and to the society in general.

Abstract:
In this study, the
preparation of the new low-cost potassium carbonate on alumina
support sorbents prepared by impregnating K2CO3
on industrial grade of Al2O3 support was
investigated. The CO2 capture capacity was measured
in the presence of H2O in a fixed-bed reactor at CO2
capture temperature of 60°C using breakthrough curves. The
sorbent developed showed the adsorption capacity of 75.4 mgCO2/g
sorbent. The stability of sorbent capture capacity is higher
than the reference sorbent.
The changes in the pore volume and surface area are 0.020cm3/g
and 5.5m2/g, respectively after 5 cycles adsorption
and regeneration. The small changes occur in the pore size
distribution and surface area of sorbent after 5 cycles. This
sorbent can be considered for large-scale applications.

Abstract:
In
this paper we examine the amount of individualism and
collectivism between different age groups of Iranian community.
We use from the questionare method for collecting data and SPSS
software for analysing them. We examine the individualism and
collectivism between groups through the four dimentions that
Triandis has offer in 1990. These dimentions are horizontal
individualism, vertical individualism, horizontal individualism
and vertical collectivism. After analysing data, we conclude
that in three dimention include of horizontal individualism,
vertical individualism and vertical collectivism Iranian culture
is moving to individualism but in the horizontal collectivism
tendency to be collectivist is high like the past.

ABSTRACT:
Islamic Civilization has original and great sources such as
Quran and Sunna in the realm of
thought. The second century AD was associated with the formation
and development of translation movement, so a variety of Indian
and Greek ideas came to the geography of Islamic Thought. In
this area Islamic Philosophy with Kennedy as the earliest
philosophers began to grow. But with growth of the Shi'ite
movement that began with two imams, Imam Muhammad bagher and
Imam Jafar Sadagh, Leads to engender a sort of spiritual wisdom
in Islamic civilization.this case even strongly influenced the
non-Shi'a intellectual domains that lead to a sort of spiritual
wisdom in the Islamic civilization that also, strongly
influenced the philosophy. As a result, Islamic Philosophy was
formed. muslim philosophers used Quran concepts and traditions
for determining the meaning and own intellectual foundation. The
Quran Consideration about wisdom brought a certain philosophy in
the Islamic civilization, which can be called divine Wisdom.

Abstract:
Today world is associated with
expansion of features such as increased levels of complexity,
globalization and dynamism, development and maintenance of
internal skills and capabilities, and for competition creating
changes is very important both in the knowledge base and in the
way the organization uses the current knowledge. Therefore
knowledge management in many organizations is in the key
investment priorities. In the present study which is analysis -
development study, it has been tried to study the features of
various process models presented in the knowledge management to
provide a compatible model for the systematic use of knowledge
in the Iranian Customs Administration. Therefore, based on
research literature review, nine processes were proposed in the
form of theories and its assumptions were examined using (SPSS)
software. Results showed that the final processes are consistent
with our expectations. Knowledge management processes that were
identified in this study for Iranian customs include: setting
and developing the knowledge goals, culturalization, knowledge
acquisition, knowledge sharing, knowledge creation, knowledge
storage, use of knowledge, assessment and feedback of knowledge
and empowerment of human resources. The importance of these
processes were determined using the Friedman test and their
prioritizations were evaluated so that knowledge sharing,
culturalization and knowledge development allocated the first to
third place in terms of the amount of importance in knowledge
management.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to
examine the mediating and moderating role of the quality of
child-parent attachment in correlation between the family
functioning and internalized and externalized disorders in
children. The participants included 702 children
who were selected from the 19
districts of Tehran's Education Department, using multistage
cluster random sampling method. The children answered the
inventory of parent and peer attachment (IPPA) and the parents
answered McMaster family assessment device (FAD) and the child
behavior checklist (CBCL). The data were analyzed using SPSS and
LISREL software. The linearity and
normality prerequisites were taken into account, and then
the methods of correlation, path analysis, and hierarchical
regression were applied. The results showed that there was a
significant correlation between family functioning and quality
of attachment, and quality of attachment and children's
disorders. Hence, the more favorable the family functioning, the
safer the attachment, and the safer the attachment, the less the
internalized and externalized disorder. There
was also a significant
correlation between family functioning and internalized and
externalized disorders. The safer the family functioning, the
less the incidence of the disorders in children. The path
analysis, hierarchical regression, and Baron and Kenny's
procedures showed that the quality of attachment did not have a
mediating role in the relationship between family functioning
and internalized and externalized disorders (separately).
However, it had a moderating role in that relationship.

Abstract:
Applied planning of land is a process in which the method of
using land and the local – spatial diffraction pattern of land
uses will be determined in order to provide welfare in the
social life. The land use includes investigating the method of
land use proportional to different activities such as health
care, residential, administrative and commercial activities. The
rural economy surrounds physical aspects of rural residents and
includes all economic activities which meet their physical
needs. In this article, we study the effect of land use changes
due to the rural development on the rural economy. In the
current research, we used a descriptive analytical method and
the method of data collection was a combination of documentary
and case studies. The research results indicate that land use
changes have both positive and negative effects on rural
residents’ lives. Land use changes in rural areas under study
have mainly occurred in agricultural areas of the rural context
and passages and main roads; so, they will destroy potential
agricultural lands and consequently negative economic effects
will appear. However, land owners’ satisfaction of the land
change due to obtaining an economic interest more than the
economic interest resulted from agriculture is considerable.
Therefore, some solutions are proposed for maintaining rural
residents’ satisfaction of the land use change in order to
partly reduce its negative economic effects.

Abstract:
Almost since the beginning of
urban planning, planners have sought means of incorporating
nature into the city and preserving the surrounding landscape.
The motivation for this has included aesthetics, health,
recreation and amenity. Urban green corridor systems are readily
accepted worldwide as a desirable recreational, wildlife and
landscape resource and can bring many benefits to urban dwellers
.The planning, design, use and management processes are critical
factors in determining successes in meeting quality of life
indicators. Today, increased urbanization and separation of city
from nature has had severe impact on environmental issues of
cities. Urban landscapes are changing from intact and valuable
ecologic areas to fractured and ineffective areas, so that the
nature image is increasingly paled. These issues affect three
parts of urban sustainability including environmental, economic
and social ones, the changes which require conscious management.
Recently, the concept of sustainable urban management has been
an important scientific topic. Targeting city development
towards a sustainable development is in important issue that
must be considered in the sustainable management of cities, one
of the conditions for sustainable development of cities in
linking urban life with nature. Providing ideas which make this
link stronger and propel the city into the dynamic condition
seems to be necessary. Environmentally friendly techniques such
as designing green corridors conforms the best to sustainable
urban development. Green corridors make a dynamic relation
between the cold urban bodies with natural bodies, and are of
particular importance not only as an aesthetic element, but as a
vital element in the condition of critical air pollution in
enhancing environmental quality and the creation of responsive
environments, and include concepts such as readability, a sense
of identity and belonging. In this regard, using a descriptive
and analytical method based on library data, and case study,
this article studies the importance and the function of green
corridors and pointing to Kan River valley, Tehran, Iran,
assesses and evaluates the potential of this corridor and its
multi-functionality. Finally, it ends with the introduction of a
new type of urban green corridors that is multi-functional
greenways.

Assessment of localization
and establishment of educational service units elementary
schools in the villages of Shanderman district of Massal
Township

Abstract:
Education is process from cradle
to grave and can exist in each society in different forms; from
learning based on life experiences through school education;
from industrial communities through non-industrial; from rural
areas through urban areas. Thus, education is social phenomenon
(Alagheband, 1372, p4). In recent century, hard trend toward
formal education caused significant extension of educational
organizations and completely changed society understanding about
mission and responsibility of school (Moaieri, 1371, p23). In
our Islamic society, considering education is derived of Islam
insistence on human education and Muslim society so that great
part of holy Quran directs us toward it. Prophets and religious
leaders have been live samples of Islamic education and their
customs and methods suggest how to perform standards and
principles of Islamic education (Asgari, 1373, p48). In
Shanderman District of Massal Township distributing educational
facilities isn’t according to rural hierarchy and this, caused
many problems for rural teenagers so that each year many of them
withdraw from school. In Shanderman district, there are
limitations impasses in the way of offering educational services
including: communicational network, transportation, existence of
multi-level schools and manager-teacher schools, low level of
education quality especially in villages with limited student
population. Therefore, all available capacities and facilities
should be considered.

Abstract:
Different styles of the
philosophy have been struggled to consider the effectiveness of
the education on the mankind during the past and present eras.
But, Kant as a moral based person tries to construct his own
morality philosophy based on the freedom and volition of the
mankind in this regard; and among this, his emphasis is roughly
based on the wisdom and value of the man. In the other hand,
Motahari relying on the religious regulations and basic issues
shows the man’s establishment based on the axis of wisdom,
religious values and theological issues and has evaluated the
educational and cultural topic of the man as the noblest
creature of the God with religious attitudes in this regard. In
this study, we are trying to evaluate both philosophers’
explicit perspectives and compare their cultural and educational
thoughts and comments in this case.

Abstract:
Rural society of Guilan province like Iran’s and most developing
countries’ rural areas faces problems such as immigrant
transmission, lack of income and employment, decrease in
utilization of resources, problems of products’ market, etc.
Therefore, the present research considering important problems
among Guilan rural areas, explains ways to increase income and
employment in in three coastal, plains and foothills rural areas
in Guilan province. In this research, the method of research is
descriptive – analytical and is of the applied kind. In order to
achieve mentioned purposes, the survey – based analysis was
used. In this way, the number of employed rural residents was
determined in different job categories and after classification
of villages into plains, coastal and foothills - mountainous
areas, and according to the population of each village and
population threshold of each job, the required job and the
number of employed individuals were proposed in villages with
empty job capacity. Finally, systematic strategies were proposed
in order to increase income and employment of rural residents in
different economic and non-economic sectors. Also, statistical
tests resulted from analyzing data and variables indicated that
there was a significant relationship between utilization of
resources and characteristics of human resources. In this way,
the increase in the level of education, self-employment courses’
education and appropriate age will increase utilization of
resources. There is a significant statistical relationship
between the inefficiency of rural areas, barriers in the way of
using earning and job capacity and employment, and the amount of
supplying financial resources of rural residents in different
economic sectors. Results of other statistical tests showed that
there was a significant statistical relationship between new
earning and job patterns, and increase of jobs and incomes of
rural residents.
