Validation of qualitative data was done using the methods proposed by Borg and Gal (2016) and through the exploration method by the participants, and content validity was also used using experts' opinions to check the quality of the content. Reliability was also measured with the Holstein reliability coefficient. The reliability, validity of the scores obtained from the research were verified using Cronbach's alpha method and confirmatory factor analysis. The analysis method was used in the qualitative part of thematic analysis and in the quantitative part of the structural equation model, second-order factor analysis was used.The results of the structural equations showed that measurement models of the effective factors in the interaction have a good fit. Key words: interaction, parents, teachers, school, mixed approach

 This study aims to identify the dimensions and components of developing creative skills.

Methods and Materials: 

 It is an applied-developmental research in terms of purpose and a non-experimental (descriptive) research from the data collection perspective, conducted using a cross-sectional survey method. A qualitative research design was utilized to achieve the research objective. The participant population consisted of university professors and experienced art teachers, who were selected through purposive sampling. Theoretical saturation was reached after 10 interviews. Semi-structured interviews with experts were used as the data collection tool. The validity of the qualitative section was evaluated and confirmed by the judges based on Lincoln and Guba’s recommendation, applying four criteria: credibility, transferability, confirmability, and dependability. The reliability of the qualitative section and the coding of the interviews were assessed with a Holsti coefficient of 0.712, which was confirmed as acceptable. Data were analyzed using grounded theory method in MAXQDA software, which involved extracting primary and secondary categories from the results of the foundational data analysis, leading to the presentation of the final model.

 After data analysis, 11 main themes and 63 subthemes were identified.

  Based on the results, it was determined that causal conditions including professional skills, problem-solving skills, and ethical skills have an impact on the central phenomenon of creative skills. These components, along with contextual conditions including cognitive competencies and emotional competencies, and intervening conditions such as the culture of the educational system, influence strategies and actions involving the strategy for developing creative skills.

The objective of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the teaching of technical and practical courses in the College of Art in Iraq.

This applied-developmental study employed a survey-cross-sectional design. The statistical population consisted of art teachers in technical and vocational programs in Iraq, with a sample size of 188 teachers selected through cluster-random sampling. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire validated for face and construct validity, and reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha coefficients exceeding 0.7. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and Smart PLS software to examine the relationships between variables.

The analysis revealed that strategic teaching planning significantly impacts educational, social, and individual outcomes. The contexts of technical and practical education and the teaching methods used in these courses significantly influence strategic teaching planning. Additionally, educational, human, and organizational factors were found to have a notable impact on the teaching of technical and practical courses. However, the traditional education system negatively affected strategic teaching planning. These findings align with previous research highlighting the importance of strategic planning, adaptive teaching methods, and the integration of modern technologies in improving educational outcomes.

Strategic teaching planning is crucial for enhancing educational, social, and individual outcomes in technical and practical courses. Educational contexts, teaching methods, and various influencing factors must be considered to develop effective strategic plans. The traditional education system's rigidity poses challenges to effective teaching planning, suggesting a need for more flexible and innovative approaches. These insights provide valuable recommendations for educators and policymakers to improve the quality of technical and practical education in the arts.

The present study aimed to Identifying and Validating Pathology of Elementary Teacher Appointment in Education.

To this end, the study included both qualitative (phenomenology) and quantitative (survey) phases. The participants in the qualitative part consisted of work force recruitment experts of the education ministry selected via purposive sampling. The data in this stage reached theoretical saturation after 22 interviews. The statistical population in the quantitative section was the teachers working in education in Isfahan province, and the sample size was determined using the table of Krejci and Morgan (1970), The number of 384 people was determined and selected by available sampling method. A semi-structured interview was used to collect data. The interviews were recorded and implemented and analyzed based on the 7-step method of Colaizzi. The credibility of the findings of the qualitative section was confirmed by returning to the participants and the reliability was confirmed by retesting.

To validate the findings of the qualitative section, a questionnaire with 29 items was prepared in the quantitative section. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the findings. The results of the research led to the identification of 29 injuries in the form of 7 conceptual units.

The educational system will be successful in solving the problems of appointing teachers when it can solve a significant part of the lack of attention to research and welfare and livelihood activities.

This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the components and dimensions of effective art education teaching.

This research is an applied-developmental study in terms of its objective and a non-experimental (descriptive) study in terms of data collection method, utilizing a cross-sectional survey approach. A qualitative research design was employed to achieve the research objective. The qualitative participant community included professors, teachers, school administrators, and art education specialists in Iraq, selected through purposive sampling. Ultimately, theoretical saturation was achieved after 10 interviews. The qualitative validity was evaluated and confirmed based on Lincoln and Guba's four criteria of credibility, transferability, confirmability, and dependability from the reviewers' perspective. The reliability of the coding of the conducted interviews was estimated using Holsti's coefficient at 0.712, which is considered acceptable. For data analysis, the grounded theory method was utilized in MAXQDA software, and with the extraction of the main and sub-categories of the research, the final model was presented.

In the present study, the components and dimensions of effective art education teaching were identified to provide a model for art education teachers in Iraq. A total of 210 initial codes were extracted from the interview texts. Through coding, eight concepts and 45 sub-categories were identified, and by classifying these themes into similar categories, eight main categories were recognized.

Based on the obtained results, the paradigmatic model of the research was determined. Causal conditions, including educational content, factors related to the teacher, and teaching style, affect the central phenomenon, which is effective art education teaching. This component, along with contextual conditions, including educational infrastructure and intervening conditions, such as the status of art in society, leads to strategies and actions, including educational policymaking, resulting in the outcome of drafting the art curriculum charter in Iraq.

This research was conducted with the aim of explaining the relationship between strategies for dealing with conflict and social capital with knowledge sharing among primary school teachers. In terms of practical purpose and in terms of correlation method, it is structural equation model type. The statistical population of the research was made up of 2234 teachers of the districts of Isfahan city. Using the table of Karjesi and Morgan (1970), 327 people were selected by cluster random method. The tools used in the research are 6 Putnam and Wilson conflict strategies questionnaire (1994) with 30 items, Lee et al.'s social capital questionnaire (2014) with 12 items and Chennamanni's (2006) knowledge sharing behavior with 7 items, knowledge sharing intention with 5 items, norms Mindfulness about knowledge sharing with 6 items and attitudes towards knowledge sharing Bok et al. (2005) with 5 items, whose formal and content validity and construct validity were confirmed and the reliability of questionnaires using Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.78 and 83. 0, 0.92, 0.90, 0.81 and 0.87 were estimated. Data analysis was done using Kalmogorov Smironov test, Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis using spss and Amos software. The results showed that there was a direct relationship between social capital and its dimensions (cognitive, structural, relational) with the intention to share knowledge (p<0.01). There was a direct relationship between the strategy of solution orientation and the intention to share knowledge, and there was an inverse relationship between the strategy of non-confrontation and the intention to share knowledge (p<0.01). No significant relationship was observed between control strategy and intention to share knowledge. The path analysis model showed that conflict coping strategies, dimensions of social capital, attitudes towards knowledge sharing and subjective norms were effective on knowledge sharing intention and knowledge sharing intention on knowledge sharing behavior.

This study examines the factors influencing the dimensions of effective teaching in Iraqi art education. This research is applied-developmental in nature and is a non-experimental (descriptive) study in terms of data collection method. The population of the study includes all art teachers in Iraq. The sample size was estimated to be 384 using Cochran's formula. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and Smart PLS statistical software. The findings indicated that the effectiveness of art teaching, the role of art in society, and educational infrastructure influence educational policy. Additionally, teaching style influenced theeffectiveness of art teaching, educational policy was impactful in formulating an art course charter, and finally, factors related to the teacher and curriculum content were influential on the effectiveness of art teaching.

The aim of the current research was to compile a model of parents’ participation and to investigate its effect on effective management in the school with a combination strategy of sequential exploratory type. The research environment was the qualitative stage, the library section and all scientific- research articles, internal and external theses, books,international conferences and high- quality documents. It was a purposeful sampling and continued until the researcher reached theoretical saturation. Content validity was used by experts to check the quality of the content. Reliability analysis was done with Holsty’s reliability coefficient. In the qualitative part, Trial Sterling’s theme analysis method was used. The results of the analysis of the findings led to the identification of an overarching theme parent- school interaction, five organizing themes, practical approach interaction, culture- building interaction, organizational arrangements, management interaction and alignment of attitude and performance, and the basic theme. Society statistics in the quantitative section of principals of three academic years, Elementary, first and secondary schools, cluster sampling was done using the Cohen-Manion formula and 535 principals were selected. The researcher’s list of information collection tools was made based on the findings of the qualitative section,including 120 items. In the quantitative part , form and content validity and construct validity were used using confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach’s alpha reliability and composite reliability were used to measure reliability. The model was evaluated using the structural equation model and second- order factor analysis. The results showed that the measurement models have a good fit, with all these factors included in the main model, the said model also had a good fit.

In recent years, the rapid growth of virtual space has made people devote more of their time in virtual space, especially to social networks, which can be attributed to the remarkable features of virtual space; including increasing the speed of information exchange, easy and free access to information and variety of knowledge topics. In this regard, the opinions recorded by users in virtual networks have grown day by day and have become very important, and extracting the opinions and feelings of users' opinions for more informed decision-making is of great help to businesses, on the other hand, virtual reality technology in the past few decades It has undergone technical changes and improved immersion and the feeling of remote presence; This technology is used in various fields such as education, tourism, health, sports, entertainment, architecture and construction, etc. The increasing progress of virtual reality technology has caused many businesses to operate in this field, but due to changes Continuous market and the need for timely information, companies should use differentiation and growth strategies, in this regard, they need to ask users' opinions and in line with that, try to grow and improve their business, considering that Users' comments are textual, and reading and summarizing them is time-consuming and difficult. Based on this, the aim of the current research was to categorize comments related to virtual reality technology using machine learning methods and a dictionary-based approach. Therefore, about one million tweets in the field of virtual reality technology were collected by the web crawler, and after data preprocessing, 480,432 samples remained in the data, then Dirichlet's hidden allocation topic modeling was implemented on the data. This modeling separated different topics by examining the distribution of words in tweets; The tweets whose distribution of words were similar were placed into a topic and the number of topics with the highest coherence score was selected, the number of topics 9 had higher coherence and the data were grouped into 9 topics, so once again the Dirichlet hidden allocation modeling was set to 9. The topic was done, with this the tweets were grouped into 9 different topics. To evaluate the model, considering that we had a probability distribution, the confusion criterion was used, the value of which was -9.44, and the coherence score was used for the degree of semantic similarity between words and the distinction between subjects, and the result was 0.47. The lower the confusion criterion and the higher the coherence score, the more efficient the model is. With the help of keyword weights obtained by Dirichlet hidden allocation modeling and examining at least 5 different tweets from each topic, 9 topics related to virtual reality technology were identified: "New Technology", "Creation and Make", "Technological Business", "Education", "Virtual Games", "Progress", "Gadget", "Metaverse", and "Indiegame", the topics were analyzed with the help of several graphs. We found that the number of neutral comments on topics such as "New Technology" and "Metaverse" is more than positive and negative comments, which indicates the lack of sufficient information or the lack of use of these technologies, and it is necessary for businesses in this field, to try more in this regard, in the same way, if we observe the graph of "Virtual Games" and "Technological Business", we can see that it changes almost with the same ratio in different years, in the sense that this The two graphs are related, in fact, businesses should keep in mind that the factors affecting these two issues are the same, but users pay more attention to the issue of "Virtual Games", as a result, if the creators of "Technological Business" Focus specifically on "Virtual Games", they will grow more due to the more attention of users, also the creators of games should consider that "Virtual Games" are a topic of more attention than "Indiegame". Is. In the subjects of "Education" and "Gadget", users lost their attention to these subjects in the field of virtual reality over time, in fact they showed their attention to other subjects, so it is better for businesses that operate in this field to take measures To advertise and attract users or change their user area if there is no growth.

Constant changes in the market and the need for timely information force companies to use differentiation and growth strategies appropriate to the needs of customers. (Sánchez, Folgado-Fernández, & Sánchez, 2022). Companies can check and analyze their customers' opinions through microblogging sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and finally improve the desired products or services (Ahmad, Aftab, Bashir, & Hameed, 2018). Today, users express their opinions and feelings and review products in online social networks. Therefore, user comments and the analysis of these comments have become a valuable resource for businesses (Kim et al., 2015; Loureiro et al., 2019).
Virtual reality and augmented reality have undergone technical developments in the past few decades and have improved immersion and the feeling of remote presence. Several examples of applications of such techniques can be found in stores, the tourism industry, hotels, restaurants, etc. (Loureiro, Guerreiro, & Ali, 2020). Due to the constant changes in the market and the need for timely information, companies should use differentiation and growth strategies, nowadays, due to the rapid evolution of the Internet, instead of collecting their opinions through time-consuming and expensive methods such as questionnaires and interviews, etc., they express in the context of social networks, which is very useful for businesses in their development, and they can measure the feelings of customers towards products and services, and understand the needs of users, and finally make appropriate and appropriate decisions in the direction of adopt growth, but in order to use the produced content correctly, text mining and sentiment analysis techniques should be used, which has not been researched in Iran so far. Analysis of users' opinions and feelings about virtual reality technology can help businesses that operate in the field of metaverse, virtual game production, virtual education, virtual tourism, etc., to make better decisions and plans.

Social media generates a large amount of real-time social signals that can provide new insights into human behavior and emotions. People around the world are constantly engaged with social media. (Al-Samarraie, Sarsam, & Alzahrani, 2023).
On the other hand, the amount of data is increasing day by day. Almost all institutions, organizations and business industries store their data electronically. A huge amount of text is circulating on the Internet in the form of digital libraries, repositories, and other textual information such as blogs, social media networks, and emails (Sagayam, Srinivasan, & Roshni, 2012).
Topic modeling is one of the most powerful techniques in text mining for data mining, discovering hidden data and finding relationships between data and textual documents (Jelodar et al., 2017).
The technological advances of the last century have confronted societies with new realities that have indisputably improved daily life, making it more convenient and interesting. In recent decades, technology using virtual reality and wearable devices have had a significant impact in the fields of education, tourism, health, sports, entertainment, architecture and construction, etc. (Kosti et al., 2023).
Virtual reality is a technology that allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment, whether that environment is a simulation of the real world or an imaginary one. With virtual reality, we can experience the most frightening and overwhelming situations with safe play and a learning perspective (Mandal, 2013). Most people are curious about the possibilities and future of new technologies, considering the various applications it is supposed to offer such as virtual meetings, learning environments and many others, however, there are also concerns about potential negative effects. because real world signals can be transmitted in the virtual world. In this regard, people express their feelings in different social networks (Bhattacharyya et al., 2023).

According to the main goal of the research, which is to classify comments related to virtual reality technology using machine learning methods and a dictionary-based approach, therefore, about one million tweets in the field of virtual reality technology were collected by the web crawler and After data preprocessing, 480,432 samples remained in the data, then Dirichlet hidden allocation thematic modeling was implemented on the data. By examining the distribution of words in tweets, this modeling tries to separate different topics by detecting the distribution of words; The tweets whose distribution of words are similar were put into a topic, and the number of topics with the highest score was selected, the number of topics 9 has higher coherence, and the data was grouped into 9 topics, so once again, Dirichlet hidden allocation modeling was applied 9 topics were done, whereby the tweets were grouped into 9 different topics. Considering that we have a probability distribution, the confusion criterion was used to evaluate the model. The lower the confusion criterion and the higher the coherence score, the more efficient the model is. With the help of keyword weights obtained by Dirichlet hidden allocation modeling and examining at least 5 different tweets from each topic, 9 topics related to virtual reality technology were identified: "New Technologies", "Creation and Make", "Technological Business", "Education", "Virtual Games", "Progress", "Gadget", "Metaverse" and "Indiegame" were named.

In this research, by examining topics in different years, we observed that the topic of "Progress" was the most popular topic among users from 2017 to the end of 2021, in early 2022, this topic gave way to "Metaverse", currently "Metaverse" is one of the most popular topics being discussed by users. Businesses in the field of virtual reality should strive for the attractiveness of "Metaverse" and attract users. Likewise, if we observe the "Virtual Games" and "Technological Business" graphs, we can see that they change with almost the same ratio in different years, meaning that these graphs are related to each other, in fact, business and keep in mind that the factors affecting these two issues are the same, but in the case of "Virtual Games" it has more effects, and if "Technological Businesses" specifically focus on virtual games, they will grow more due to the greater attention of users. had Similarly, "Indiegame" which have had a series of changes but in recent years have had a declining trend and then no change, now the creators of these games should check, and in general "Virtual Games" are a more interesting topic than "Indiegame". In the subjects of "Education" and "Gadget" it has been decreasing since the beginning of 2017, which shows that users lost their attention to these subjects in the field of virtual reality over time, in fact to other topics showed their attention, so it is better for businesses that are active in this field to take measures to advertise and attract users, or change their user field if there is no growth.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, but its incidence during pregnancy is rare and less than 80 cases in pregnancy have been reported in literature to date. Here, we present a pregnant woman who delivered her first child in the presence of PA four years before, but in her second pregnancy, she developed severe hypertension associated with hypokalemia, and was admitted with preeclampsia. She lost her infant and received a diagnosis of PA due to an adrenal adenoma. After adrenalectomy, her blood pressure was normalized.

Whether the endocrine aberrations caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) might influence bone density in women of reproductive age is controversial.

The present study aimed to compare PCOS women to a control group matched in terms of age and body mass index (BMI) regarding bone indices and to clarify the potential relationship between their hormonal changes and bone density.

This case-control study consisted of 61 PCOS patients, and 35 women with normal ovulatory function served as controls. Bone parameters, including bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) in addition to T- and Z-scores, were measured at the lumbar vertebrae, neck of the left femur, hip, and distal part of the radial bone, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Blood samples were taken to be tested for biochemical parameters and serum concentrations of insulin, osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), total testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and estradiol were measured. Insulin resistance was evaluated through the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).

The results revealed greater levels of HOMA-IR and total testosterone in PCOS women than in controls. Nevertheless, the two groups were comparable in terms of bone parameters. In the control group, BMI was the only determinant of bone density at most of the skeletal sites. Nonetheless, BMI and HOMA-IR were independently and positively associated with bone indices at the femoral neck (FN) and total hip in the PCOS group. Parathyroid hormone and vitamin D concentrations were not different in the two groups. However, phosphate levels were higher in PCOS patients (P = 0.025). Osteocalcin was inversely correlated to BMI, and both groups had a negative correlation betweenDHEASand PTH. Serum phosphate was inversely and independently associated with estrogen in the PCOS group (r = -0.377, P = 0.004).

Body mass index and HOMA-IR were independent and positive determinants of FN and total hip bone density in the PCOS subjects. Nonetheless, in the non-PCOS women, BMI was the only independent determinant of bone density at most of the skeletal sites. Additionally, osteocalcin was inversely correlated with BMI in both groups.

Considering the important role of the educational system in the society and the diversity of its services and activities, it is necessary that huge human resources are available to this system, but usually these resources are not selected competently or effectively and efficiently. are not exploited; therefore in this research, the process of establishing the succession planning system of management in universities was carried out using a qualitative method based on the grounded theory. For this purpose, 23 chancellors and vice-chancellors of departments in Azad Universities were interviewed and the data was extracted from the text of the interviews. The results of data analysis in the three stages of open, axial, and selective coding showed 14 general categories that were based on a paradigmatic model including causative conditions (foresight in academic decisions and proper management of resources); focal category (meritocracy); establishment strategies (nurturing competent ones, management Style, Creating a collaborative environment and Creating favorable structural and executive fields); background factors (culture and Value and psychological Factors); intervening conditions (management of the academic system, supporting and organizational culture) and the expected outcomes (organizational promotion) reflects the process of establishing a succession planning system of management in universities and the relationship between their different dimensions. To check the validity and reliability of the findings, the method of review by members, collaborative and collaborative review was used. As a result, this research provides a framework for policymakers and decision makers that they can use to establish the management succession system in universities.

Ketosis and attenuation of low-grade inflammation have been reported after consumption of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, but their mechanism and metabolic consequences have not been clearly defined. This clinical trial study aimed to assess SGLT2 inhibitor-induced ketonemia and its association with metabolic profiles and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Biochemical variables, including fasting blood sugar (FBS), beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOBH), uric acid (UA), phosphate, insulin, glucagon, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, and IL-6, were measured in 77 patients with T2D before and one month after treatment with empagliflozin (38 patients) and compared with a matched control group (39 patients). The patients in the intervention group received metformin and 10 mg empagliflozin, while those in the control group received metformin alone. The results revealed a significant decrease in IL-6, UA, FBS, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and the homeostasis model assessment–estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index after one month in the intervention group. However, the BOHB concentrations were significantly higher only in the empagliflozin recipients (p=0.040), with no symptoms or signs of ketoacidosis. Despite the increase in the concentration of BOHB, no significant difference was observed regarding insulin, glucagon, ACTH, and cortisol levels before and after taking empagliflozin. Besides, both groups observed a positive correlation between BOHB and UA levels (r=0.680, p=0.0001 in the empagliflozin group and r=0.646, p=0.002 in controls). Nevertheless, HOMA-IR and UA concentrations decreased significantly only in the intervention group (p=0.020 and p=0.011, respectively). At the end of the study, IL-6 levels showed a significant reduction within the groups and more in the intervention group compared to the controls. IL-6 levels were positively correlated to HOMA-IR (r=0.401, p=0.013) in the intervention group, but no relationship was detected between IL-6 and BMI, BOHB, UA, and insulin concentrations in the two groups. Based on the results, SGLT2 inhibitor-associated ketonemia was independent of changes in the insulin, glucagon, or cortisol levels. However, low-grade ketosis was associated with improved insulin sensitivity. The results also suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors possess anti-inflammatory activity, possibly mediated by their ability to reduce insulin resistance.

The aim of this study is to present a Job Embeddedness Model of High School teachers in Isfahan.

This research was thematic analysis based on Stirling's method. By carefully studying domestic and foreign reliable sources and taking notes on key and related points, examples of job entanglement were extracted with the help of Maxqda10 software.

Firstly, 572 basic themes were extracted and then merged and categorized in 134 basic themes, 11 organizer themes and 4 inclusive themes. Inclusive themes include values alignment, sociability, justice alignment and professionalism. Organizer themes include paying attention to personal values, paying attention to organization values, organizational participation, Interoperability of the individual-community, Fair allocation of organizational resources, Respect for individual rights, Respect for organizational rights, Respect for Social rights, Professionalism based on individual characteristics, Professionalism based on organizational characteristics and Professionalism based on social components.

This study presented a complete and comprehensive JE model of high school teachers. This model should be available for headmasters and using it for improvement of JE of teachers.

Education is an expression of the cultural and religious identity of the society, which has an undeniable necessity to promote its governance as the most important institution for training human resources, generator of social capital and responsible for the implementation of approved policies. Considering the importance of the subject, the purpose of this qualitative research was to identify the governance components in education with an Islamic approach, and to collect data and identify themes, we used thematic analysis based on Atride-Sterling method with an inductive and exploratory approach. . The research environment includes the text of Nahj al-Balagha, twenty articles and two books. After careful study, first the desired texts were coded and thus, by using different translations of Nahj al-Balagha, 650 primary themes were identified and selected based on keywords related to governance. After summarizing, the primary themes were divided into 154 basic themes and eight organizing themes (necessity and how to form, prerequisites, goals and responsibilities, drivers, obstacles, populism, facilitators and spirituality in different levels of governance) for the governance theme of education with the Islamic approach was divided and the network of its themes was drawn. The credibility of the research was based on the approach of Lincoln and Guba (1985), based on the four criteria of believability, transferability, reliability and verifiability, and experts in the seminary and university in the field of governance and education confirmed it.

The aim of the current research was to provide a model for improving the responsibility of elementary school students based on the pathology of the existing situation. This research is practical in terms of purpose and has been done in two parts, qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative part, the qualitative content analysis method was used, and in the quantitative part, the survey method was used. The participants of the qualitative part were primary education specialists and educational psychologists who were selected through purposive sampling. Interviews with the participants were conducted using a semi-structured interview method and continued until data saturation was reached with the number of 15 people. The statistical population in the quantitative section was all managers, teachers and experts of the elementary school in the country, from which 480 people were randomly selected in a multi-stage manner. First, by using semi-structured interview and qualitative content analysis method, the damage in the field of responsibility of primary school students was identified, and after confirming the content validity of Lavosheh a 77-item questionnaire was designed based on it and using survey method and factor analysis. According to the coding of the findings obtained from the interviews with professors and experts, the responsibility of elementary school students was identified in six dimensions. The model indices had a good fit.

The aim of the present research was the pathology of responsibility of elementary school students. Method the research was conducted in a qualitative method using qualitative content analysis of the interviews. Data using semi-structured interview technique and theoretical saturation criteria were conducted among 13 primary school specialists and professors of child and adolescents’ psychology. And while analyzing the content and themes, the components, and elements of the pathology of students' responsibility have been extracted. The statistical population was all principals, teachers, and experts of the elementary school in Tehran, Isfahan, and Yazd provinces, from which a stratum proportional to the size of 480 people was randomly selected. All the interviews were simultaneously recorded and transcribed Findings the obtained findings included 98 concept codes that differed in 6 main concepts with sub-concepts categorized. The main cocept includes injuries related to the educational system with 2 sub-concepts and 12 concept codes, school related injuries with 2 sub-concepts and 16 concept codes, family injuries with 4 sub-concepts and 33 concept codes, student injuries with 2 sub-concepts and 18 concept codes, syber damages with 2 sub-concepts and 9 concept codes, and educational and cultural factors with 2 sub-concepts and 10 concept codes. According to the findings, it is suggested that principals, teachers, and parents pay special attention to these components for identifying the harms and teaching responsibility ways to children and adolescents.

In this research, an attempt has been made to provide an intellectual model for higher education directors based on the teachings of the Quran with an emphasis on the interpretation of Al-Mizan. For this purpose, a mixed exploratory research method has been used and the result has been 11 organizing themes with 75 basic themes. In this regard, first, by referring to Al-Mizan interpretation, data collection is performed to obtain a research model, and data analysis, which includes basic themes, organizing themes, and comprehensive themes. According to the identified basic themes, a researcher-made questionnaire made by higher education directors was designed to validate the model.

The current study aims to look into the merits and demerits of elementary teacher recruitment process in Iranian Education. To achieve this purpose, phenomenology approach was utilized. The population included all formally employed teachers as well as elementary education experts. The sample of study entailed 22 persons selected via purposive sampling method (considering the saturation point). They were interviewed using a semi-structured interview. The interviews were first recorded and transcribed and then analyzed based on the seven-stage Colaizzi method. The study finally led to identification of 65 drawbacks within 15 conceptual units in force-finding, selection, and appointment dimensions. The most important drawbacks in each of these dimensions were: Lack of comprehension of job nature, occupational qualification weakness, non-technical procedures, weakness in information giving, weakness in teachers’ social rank, , technical and skill weaknesses, selective weaknesses, psychological contrasts, inattention to research activities, inattention to welfare and livelihood facilities, weakness in employing modern technologies, Weakness in pinpointing policies, weakness in teachers’ organization, weakness in motivational factors, weakness in maintaining teachers, weakness in assessment and feedback.

Quality of college life is defined as the overall satisfaction with life perceived by students. It measures students' expectations and demands, and is not just about the classroom environment. Therefore, this study is aimed at presenting a model for quality of college life.

A qualitative approach was adopted and content analysis was applied to propose a model for quality of college life. Indexed articles on the topic published outside Iran between 1992 and 2019 and those published in national databases between 2011 and 2019, were analyzed. A survey was performed with some faculty members selected through convenience purposive sampling. Content validity of 117 initial questions was confirmed both qualitatively (the opinion of 10 experts in the field of educational management) and quantitatively (testing the relevance of each item through content validity ratio (CVR). Low validity questions were removed. Using the Holsti coefficient, the reliability of the questionnaire was 0.90.

An inductive approach to content analysis showed that the variables of research facilities with two components, public facilities with four components and entrepreneurial opportunities with two components were the factors responsible for quality of college life.

Given the important role of graduates for the society in achieving its goals, the criteria suggested in the proposed model can help decision makers improve quality of college life in general and in Islamic Azad University in particular, thus preparing a more qualified workforce in future.

The current study aimed to determine the effect of yoga exercises on executive functions among individuals with schizophrenia. Deficits in cognitive abilities are widely recognized as a core feature of schizophrenia. Among the cognitive impairments, executive functions have a more effective role in limiting the ability of patients to maintain and relearn the skills required to operate in the real world. Studies indicated that practicing yoga could improve abstraction and mental flexibility, spatial processing, working memory, spatial memory, emotion processing, attention and recall. Besides, it could reduce reaction times and increase accuracy in executive function tasks in various settings. Accordingly, in the present study, the researchers provided a yoga intervention program to patients with schizophrenia, assuming that by practicing this course, the study subjects could improve their executive functions.

This was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest and a control group design. It was conducted on 24 patients with schizophrenia (adult females) in Isfahan City, Iran. The study participants were randomly assigned into two groups of experimental and control. The experimental group underwent a 20–week yoga training. Wisconsin software was used to evaluate the executive functions of studied samples. A repeated–measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied to analyze the collected data.

According to the repeated–measures ANOVA results of the preservative variable, the interaction between time and group (F44,2 =3.417, p=0.042, h=0.134) was significant at the error level of 5%. The Bonferroni post–hoc test data revealed that the mean score in the intervention group was significantly higher in pretest than the posttest (p=0.001) and follow–up (p=0.049) phases; however, there was no significant difference between the results of posttest and follow–up (p=0.624) in this group. These results highlight the effectiveness of the intervention on reducing the preservative variable immediately after the intervention as well as its stability after the intervention. In the “correct answers” variable, the interaction between the experimental group and the time scale (F44, 2=5.171, p=0.010, h=0.190) was significant at the error level of 5%. The Bonferroni post–hoc test data in the intervention group indicated that the mean number of correct answers in the pretest was significantly less than that of the posttest (p=0.003) and follow–up (p=0.008) in the study participants. Furthermore, there was no significant difference (p=0.001) between the mean score of correct answers in posttest and follow–up stages in them. Therefore, the intervention effectively increased the number of correct answers and this effect continued after the completion of intervention. In the incorrect answer variable, the interaction between the experimental group and the time scale (F44, 2=5.329, p=0.008, h=0.195) was significant at the error level of 5%. The Bonferroni post–hoc test findings manifested that in the intervention group, the mean frequency of incorrect answers in the pretest was significantly less than that of the posttest (p=0.001) and follow–up (p=0.007) stages. Besides, there was no significant difference between the mean frequency of correct answers in posttest and follow–up stages (p=0.001). Therefore, the intervention was effective in reducing the frequency of correct answers; this effectiveness remained stable after the interruption of intervention. Regarding the required time of attempt completion, the interaction between the experimental group and the time scale (F 44.2=6.140, p=0.004, h=0.218) was significant at the error level of 5%. The Bonferroni post–hoc test results in the intervention group revealed a significantly higher mean time in the pretest than the posttest (p<0.001) and follow–up (p<0.001) phases. In addition, there was no significant difference (p=0.001) between the meantime in the posttest and follow–up stages.

Following 20 weeks of yoga practice, the study participants in the yoga intervention group revealed significantly improved performance in executive functions. Yoga has been supported to have immediate psychological effects, including decreased anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as positive modifications in perceived executive functioning. Studies suggested that yoga has an immediate quieting effect on the sympathetic nervous system; hypothalamic and pituitary-adrenal axis responses to stress. The provided 20–week yoga intervention may have resulted in improved psychological states, which led to enhanced cognitive performance in the executive function tasks of the test group. Eventually, yoga exercises could improve cognitive abilities by affecting the structural and functional properties of the brain.

Coaching managers in the organization, as one of the effective methods in developing human resources, can be an essential skill for training employees and increasing effective employee behaviors., Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify and present a network of organizational coaching topics for university managers, which was done qualitatively.
