In the reflection of the Christian beliefs about Mary in the verses of the Qur'an, the concept of "Mariolatry" mentioned in verse Mᾱ'idah: 116 and some other verses is one of the challenging concepts that, especially in terms of knowing its audience, so far, many efforts have been made. In this article, we try to investigate these views and find a way out of its interpretation challenge. The main question in this research is: "How is the concept of Mariolatry reflected in the Qur'an and how has it been understood by Muslim commentators and Western Qur'an scholars so far?" "How should the Quranic verses related to this interpretation be read to solve the existing challenges regarding it?" Findings show that both groups of commentators have diversely interpreted the above concept so that their total views fluctuate from distorting the Quranic verses to linguistic and historical approaches. Meanwhile, examining the context of the verses of the Qur'an and some surviving documents from the late ancient period, as well as paying attention to some of the disadvantages of the historical approach, show that the reading of this belief based on the language and rhetorical creativity of the Qur'an is more justified and logical.

 Given the importance of deeply understanding the complex phenomenon of narcissism in sports managers for their success and effectiveness, the main issue of this qualitative research is identifying the dimensions, components, and characteristics of narcissism in senior, middle, and operational managers of professional sports clubs and organizations responsible for championship sports in Iran. The aim is to design a comprehensive model of narcissism in sports managers, providing a new theoretical and practical framework for understanding and managing this phenomenon.

 The research method is grounded theory. This study was conducted from March 2023 to August 2023. Participants were selected using the snowball sampling method among professors, researchers, psychologists, consultants, and experienced and successful managers in professional sports clubs and organizations responsible for championship sports across Iran to ensure diversity and richness of data. Data were collected using library studies and in-depth semi-structured interviews with 15 individuals. Lincoln and Guba's (1985) evaluation criteria were used to examine the quality and validate the qualitative results. ،The intra-subject agreement method between two coders was used to calculate the reliability of the interviews, resulting in a reliability coefficient of 91%.

 The findings revealed that the narcissism model of sports managers includes positive aspects (leadership and inspirational ability, high self-confidence, motivation and ambition, creativity and innovation) and negative aspects (grandiosity and excessive pride, self-centeredness and disregard for others, intolerance of criticism, dominance, and control, lack of empathy and understanding of others, refusal to accept failure and mistakes).

 To leverage the benefits of positive narcissism and prevent its negative consequences, it is essential to provide training in interpersonal skills, emotional management, balanced manager selection, and appropriate supervision. Establishing feedback systems and encouraging collaboration can reduce adverse effects and enhance positive aspects.

Future libraries may be significantly different from what is currently observed. The concept of a "smart library" could serve as a new and appropriate name for them. A smart library is an option to stay in the game and defend the essential assets of the library in the future smart society. The aim of the present study is to explore the dimensions and components of smart libraries by examining and analyzing texts in the field of smart libraries.

This qualitative research was conducted using the meta-synthesis method based on the seven-step model of Sandelowski and Barroso. Relevant scientific articles and publications on smart libraries were searched in reputable scientific databases without time and language restrictions, and a total of 1800 articles were retrieved. After removing duplicate titles and irrelevant articles, 194 articles were finally analyzed to identify the dimensions and components of smart libraries. Content analysis of texts was also performed using the MAXQDA software.

A total of 4336 codes were identified based on the content analysis of 194 articles. The identified codes were categorized into 8 dimensions and 76 components. These dimensions include technology, services, people, resources, space, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation and creativity.

Although technology serves as the main factor and infrastructure of smart libraries, attention should be paid to other dimensions such as services, people, space, resources, governance and management, legal, ethical, social, cultural, political, innovation, and creativity in the design of smart libraries. However, it should be noted that in the design and implementation of a smart library, attention should be paid to the existing needs, facilities, equipment, and budget required. Each library may have different needs and resources that need to be considered. Therefore, the implementation of smart libraries requires a multidimensional approach that encompasses various key components.

One of the most complex processes in the field of sports expertise is decision-making. In this respect, this study aimed to investigate the effect of decision training on anticipation and creative decision-making in badminton.

The current research is a quasi-experimental type with a pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population of the present study was all female students aged 20 to 30 years, from which 40 female students were selected by the available sampling method and randomly assigned into two decision training and control groups. A creative decision-making questionnaire, video camera, laptop, and projector were the tools used in the research. In the pretest, creative decision-making and anticipation were measured with 20 video clips while watching a badminton overhead shot through a video clip that was interrupted at the moment of racket-ball contact. The training group practiced 400 decision training trials and the control group just recognized the direction of the shots. A post-test was taken after 48 hours.

The result revealed that in the post-test, the decision training group had more creativity in decision-making than the control group (F=2.64) and in the training group, the skill of anticipating the direction of the shots was better than the control group (F=4.17).

According to the results, the decision training made the players of the training group recognize the direction and landing place of the shot with more creativity and provide several solutions for each shot. It seems that decision training has a significant effect in facilitating and providing different solutions.

Education and educational environments wield immense influence over societal mentality and civilization, notably through cultural and social lenses. Fostering a dynamic, creative education nurtures children's intellectual, social, cultural, and creative growth. Crucially, reforming educational structures necessitates the meticulous design of spaces intricately linked to students' activities, finely attuned to optimize the holistic growth—physical, mental, emotional, and social—of children. This research endeavors to introduce a comprehensive model for the design of group educational spaces, emphasizing the active participation of preschool children throughout the design process. Employing a nuanced amalgamation of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the study underscored the pivotal role of architectural education, revealing starkly divergent outcomes between control and test groups. Physical elements, such as the interplay of color schemes, spatial configurations, and the predilection for well-illuminated, open spaces adorned with natural light and transparent architectural elements, emerged prominently. Additionally, the study unveiled the paramount importance of fostering spaces conducive to peer dialogue, artistic expression, comfort-enhancing large cushions, personalized areas, circular tables, and verdant, green surroundings. These insights pave the way for shaping educational spaces to meet children's needs, fostering an enriched and inclusive learning environment through their active involvement.

In the current era, where organizations face a globally competitive environment, the need for changes and innovative work is strongly felt in the workplace. Organizations should not insist on old methods that fail to respond to current organizational needs for survival in this competitive environment and should use new ones to perform their tasks. Paradoxical leadership is one of the new leadership styles that can affect the employees' creativity and is one of the challenges managers face in their work environment.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

Paradoxical leadership is defined as "seemingly competing, yet related, behaviors to meet structural and follower demands simultaneously and over time." Employees' need for cognitive stability is defined as a person's willingness to give a decisive answer on a given issue and avoid confusion and ambiguity. Identification with the leader means the employees' values are the same as their leaders, are proud to cooperate with their leader, and are upset if their leader is criticized. Workload pressure refers to the extent to which employees have to work quickly and have a lot to do. Self-efficacy is a constructive ability representing the employees' cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral skills to achieve various goals effectively. Employees with high creative self-efficacy deal with issues and problems more effectively due to their confidence in their abilities. Creativity means using the capabilities of the mind to create a new thought. Few Persian researchers have investigated the concept of paradox in leadership and organization management and its possible outcomes, such as creativity.

This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature and descriptive method. The data collection tool is a questionnaire, and the statistical population of the research is the employees of government organizations in Mashhad. To determine the sample size, ten questionnaires were considered for each item, and after removing the incomplete questionnaires, the required data were collected from 384 people by stratified random method. The appropriateness of the data was determined by checking its validity and reliability. Then, the structural equation modeling technique was used to test the research hypotheses.

All hypotheses were tested and confirmed, including the positive impact of Paradoxical leadership on identifying with the leader and creative self-efficacy, creative self-efficacy on employee creativity, and identifying :with the leader on employee creativity. The mediating roles of creative self-efficacy and identifying with the leader were also proven, and the positive moderation of work pressure and the negative moderation of employees' need for cognitive stability were also confirmed.

CONCLUSIONS & SUGGESTIONS:

Considering the significant impacts that creativity may have on the improvement of organizational processes, one of the most important points that should be considered is the development of a security culture in the workplace. To create this environment, managers can take actions, such as encouraging cooperation and interaction between employees, creating a safe space for expressing creative ideas, holding training courses to strengthen creativity, positive evaluation, and providing rewards for creative performance, etc. Considering that contradictory leadership can be effective on creative self-efficacy and identification with the leader, managers should be able to create a balance between conflicting behaviors and have sufficient expertise in achieving goals. Considering the positive relationship between paradoxical leadership and identification with the leader, organizations should prioritize strong relationships between leaders and employees by providing opportunities for employees to get to know their leaders and feel connected to them. Finally, it is suggested that the managers find out about the employees' need for cognitive closure and treat the employees accordingly.
