The aim of this study was to analyze the dimensions of professional structure development for sports organizations based on the theory of Strauss and Corbin.

The research method is qualitative with a systematic analysis approach. The statistical population included two sections of human society (former directors of the Physical Education Organization, current and former directors and presidents of the National Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Sports and Youth) and the information society. A statistical sample of a sufficient number was selected based on theoretical saturation in a non-probability targeted and snowball technique (17 people and 29 documents). The validity of the instrument was assessed using qualitative validation methods (content validity, kappa coefficient (0.792)). For data analysis, a systematic approach has been used during the three stages of open, axial and selective coding.

Finally, 18 main categories (internal and external environment, organizational culture, professional structure, executive instructions, administrative bureaucracy, managers' intervention, level of control, human and financial resources, technology, staff training, infrastructure, Standardization of affairs, free expression, improvement of communication quality, delegation, productivity, improvement of decision making and improvement of sports performance) and 22 concepts were extracted.

The category of professional structure in the design of sports organizations is of great importance and has various aspects. Also, using this dimension analysis and strategies based on Strauss and Corbin, we can expect the development of the professional structure of sports organizations in Iran.

Aging is one of the developmental stages in the field of global health, and it is highly important to pay attention to the elderly in terms of their psychological and physical needs. This issue indicates the ever-increasing necessity of applying effective interventions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to consider the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on social adjustment and cognitive distortion in the elderly men. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest and control group design. The statistical population of the study included all the elderly men in the age range of 65 to 75 years who were living in Khoramabad, Iran in 2021. The sample size consisted of 30 elderly men selected using convenience sampling method and according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The experimental group received eight weekly 90-minute sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. The questionnaires applied in the current study included Hamamci & Buyukozturk’s interpersonal cognitive distortions and Bell's social adjustment. Data were analyzed using Univariate Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS-22 software. The results revealed that there is a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in post-test stage in terms of social adjustment and cognitive distortions (P<0.001), controlling the effect of pre-test. According to the findings of the present study, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy improves the social adjustment and reduces cognitive distortion in the elderly. The findings of the study can start a new chapter in clinical interventions, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be implemented as an effective intervention for improving general health and quality of life in the elderly.

The purpose of this study was to design a model of professional structure development for sports organizations based on Grounded Theory.

The research method is qualitative with systematic analysis approach. The statistical population consisted of two sections of human society (former managers of physical education organization, current managers and heads and former National Olympic Committee and Ministry of Sport and Youth) and information society. The statistical sample was selected based on theoretical saturation in a non-probability purposive and snowball technique (17 subjects and 54 documents). Validity of the instrument was evaluated using descriptive qualitative methods (content validity, kappa coefficient). Systematic approach was used for data analysis during three stages of open, axial and selective coding.

Finally 18 main categories (Internal & External Environment, Organizational Culture, Professional Structure, Executive Guidelines, Administrative Bureaucracy, Managers Intervention, Level of Control, Human and Financial Resources, Technology, Employee Readiness, Infrastructure, Standardization, Freelance, Quality Improvement Communication, delegating authority, productivity, improving decision making and improving sports performance) and 22 concepts were extracted.

The concept of professional structure is very important in designing sports organizations and has many aspects. Also, using this model, one can expect the development of professional structure of sports organizations in Iran.

Water is the most important element of life that plays a fundamental role in the emergence of human civilizations and the construction of cities. Today, security of water is recognized as an essential challenge. According to a systemic approach, water security is a complex and dynamic mechanism in which social and ecological processes interact with each other and, along with the recognition of feedback cycles, present reactive responses to human needs. The purpose of the present study is to explain the water security based on the systemic and integrated viewpoint, infer the analytical levels of water security, and present the conceptual model of the capability of the historic structures of desert cities in providing water security. This is an inferential-comparative study. Data collection tools are library studies and review of documents. The results of the developed comparative model indicate that the functions of the historic hydraulic structures of desert cities (economic-social-cultural-ecological) are in line with the analytical levels of water security (social security of water, economic security of water, environmental safety of water, urban security of water, and resilience to crises).
