What has been discussed in this article is the identification and ranking of the dimensions and components of barraging high-altitude Management in Air rescue operations in crisis situations. Our country is one of the countries that face various crises, such as earthquakes, wars, epidemics of contagious disease, etc. Among the crises that have been encountered so far were the Procrustean wars. One of the missions of air operations is to support the fighting forces with C-130 planes. Air barraging has long been carried out at low altitude and at low speed to support the ground forces, but due to the strong defense ring and the possibility of firing missiles at the aircraft at low altitude, the possibility of vulnerability increases. To achieve this purpose, first study documents and research background. Then a questionnaire was developed the Delphi method with a range of 5 Likert options and was distributed in two stages among 26 experts of airlines and effective high-altitude precipitation antecedents in air operation and Analysis with SPSS software. Then were identified 6 dimensions and 26 components, The content validity index of CVR was confirmed and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient in all components was above 0.7, which shows acceptable reliability. To prioritize the identified solutions, a hierarchical analysis questionnaire was prepared and distributed among the skilled staff of an airline. The results of the questionnaires were analyzed in Expert Choice software and the effective high-altitude precipitation antecedents in air operation were prioritized in six dimensions: Emergency conditions, weather conditions, launch point, parachute and load. Finally, according to the research results, applicable solutions were presented based on 6 dimensions.

Our country is one of the countries that face various crises, such as earthquakes, wars, epidemics of a contagious disease, etc. Among the crises that have been encountered so far were the Procrustean war. Although much research has been done aboute war, but research has not been done on the role of logistical support in defeating the blockage of Abadan This research is exploratory research in terms of purpose and applied in terms of type of use, and the data research method of the grounded theory has been used.Data were collected using non-probabilistic sampling with 20 Holy Defense fighters as well as Holy Defense researchers. MaxQDA software was also used to analyze the data. Based on data analysis, causal category including economic causes, geopolitical causes and ideological causes, central category including information management, transportation and optimal location of equipment and forces. Strategies including flexibility, synergy and reaction speed. intervention factors including command and control, manpower and equipment, and finally the consequences including political, social and military consequences. The proposed model can help to transfer experiences and values to future generations to play a more effective role in operational units and increase the country's defense power

Business intelligence is often used as a modifier, especially in times of crisis, but it seems it is not well absorbed and assimilated across organizations that have adopted it, and this is rooted in the institutional theory and high-level theory. The purpose of this study is to investigate the assimilation of business intelligence by considering external pressures and the commitment of managers in critical situations in companies under the Endowment Productivity Foundation of Astan Quds Razavi. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in nature. The statistical population of this research is 44 companies of Astan Quds Razavi Endowment Productivity Foundation. In this regard, 3 questionnaires were sent to senior and influential managers in a non-random manner. Based on this, the data were collected from 132 managers. The research tool was Chaubey and Kumar’s (2021) questionnaire. To evaluate the validity of the instrument, content validity (according to experts’ judgments), and to check the validity of the structure, convergent and divergent validity, and factor analysis were used. The Cronbach's alpha value was estimated to be 0.877, which is in the acceptable range. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling method and SmartPlus3 software. The findings showed that the factors of forced external norms (normative and imitative) have a significant impact on the commitment of top managers to innovate in business intelligence. The commitment of top managers through acceptance and normalization affects the assimilation of business intelligence.

The pandemic crisis resulting from COVID-19 has transformed the lives of citizens and organizations’ way of doing business. The pandemic has triggered humanity to find innovative ways of doing business to keep the sinking economy afloat. Although, we often blame COVID-19 and the pandemic for the current crisis. However, the pandemic has offered significant insight into our hidden problems that have plagued our world economy. It has exposed our weaknesses and reflected our capabilities to deal with such a health crisis. The power of emerging technology has been understood during the pandemic crisis to fight against the disruptions caused by the pandemic crisis (Dwivedi et al., 2020; Ivanov, 2020). Business intelligence is often used as a modifier of the situation, especially in times of epidemic crises. Although most managers are familiar with business intelligence and agree that it should be operationalized in their organizations, business intelligence is not well absorbed and assimilated across organizations that have adopted it, and this is rooted in the institutional theory and high-level theory (Chaubey & Sahoo, 2021). The purpose of this study is to investigate the assimilation of business intelligence by considering external pressures and the commitment of managers in critical situations in companies under the Endowment Productivity Foundation of Astan Quds Razavi. For this purpose, the following hypotheses are presented:
Coercive pressures have a positive and significant effect on the commitment of top managers.
Normative pressures have a positive and significant effect on the commitment of top managers.
Mimetic pressures have a positive and significant effect on the commitment of top managers.
The commitment of top managers has a positive and significant effect on the acceptance of business intelligence.
The adoption of business intelligence has a positive and significant effect on the normalization of business intelligence.
The normalization of business intelligence has a significant effect on the assimilation of business intelligence. 

This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in nature. The statistical population of this research is 44 companies of Astan Quds Razavi Endowment Productivity Foundation. The data collection instrument was Chaubey and Kumar’s (2021) questionnaire. Three questionnaires were sent to senior and top managers in a non-random manner. The data were collected from 132 managers. To evaluate the validity of the data collection instrument, content validity (according to experts’ opinions), and to check the validity of the structure, convergent, divergent validity, and factor analysis were used. The Cronbach's alpha value was estimated to be 0.877, which is in the acceptable range. Data analysis was performed by the structural equation modeling method and SmartPlus3 software.

Findings:   
The findings of the study showed that the factors of forced external norms (normative and imitative) have a significant impact on the commitment of top managers to innovate in business intelligence. The commitment of top managers through acceptance and normalization affects the assimilation of business intelligence. The results are summarized in the following table:

In this study, based on the institutional theory and the high-level theory, the research model was drawn, and according to the limitations of the institutional theory that existed in previous studies, the role of the senior manager's commitment was also considered in the framework of the institutional theory. The conceptual model was tested empirically and based on reflective measures of institutional pressures, which include mandatory, imitative and normative pressures, and also confirmed the collective effect of institutional pressures and can affect the commitment of top managers to attract business intelligence. In particular, it was clarified how the commitment of the top managers of the organization can act as an interface between institutional pressures and assimilation of business intelligence. By doing this and obtaining some empirical evidence in institutional theory, it became clear why organizations show different behavior in the field of applying business intelligence tools. In addition, based on the previously stated arguments, the research tries to explain the assimilation of business intelligence using the institutional theory and the high-level theory during the pandemic crisis. In this way, the study shows the impact of the pandemic crisis on the responsiveness of organizations in the use of business intelligence acquisition tools. Institutional pressures (including mandatory, imitative, and normative ones) affect the commitment of senior managers, which, in turn, affects the acceptance, normalization, and absorption of business intelligence.

One of the controversial issues in the area of Human Rights is “Emergency Theory”. According to the emergency theory, exercising certain rights in crisis situations may harm public order and security; so the government will have no choice but temporary derogation from certain citizens’ rights. Such act draws attention: First public order and security take priority over individual rights, and second, the way of justification of derogation from human rights based on the threats to public order and security in emergency situations. Basically, such theory may lead to abuse of power and tyranny which results in individuals rights violation. This paper examines the approaches of emergency theory adherents in order to establish a convincing basis to justify derogation from individual rights in emergency situations; it also determines frameworks and limits of state’s authority in this area.
