In recent years, the world has been engulfed in a crisis caused by a contagious disease called the coronavirus. The impact of this crisis is so significant that some researchers have also paid special attention to the post-coronavirus world. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify the factors of sustainable value in using information technology for managing acute viral diseases.

The research method is mixed. In the qualitative section, the thematic analysis method has been employed. The reliability assessment of this section is also conducted using the method of comparison by two coders, resulting in a coefficient of 83%. In this section, interviews continued until theoretical saturation was reached, and 23 interviews were collected. In the quantitative section, structural equation modeling with a partial least squares approach using SmartPLS_3 software was employed to analyze the data, and a semi-structured questionnaire with a five-option Likert spectrum was distributed among 241 individuals. The research population includes healthcare professionals in medical sciences, faculty members in management and technology fields, as well as managers of knowledge-based companies active in medical technology in Tehran province. Simple random sampling using the Cochran formula is also employed in this section.

The results showed that in the area of pandemic management and control, organizational factors (with a coefficient of 0.41), control and supervision (with a coefficient of 0.28), and planning (with a coefficient of 0.43) were confirmed. In the sustainable value section, environmental factors (with a coefficient of 0.29), social factors (with a coefficient of 0.37), and economic factors (with a coefficient of 0.47) were confirmed.

Thus, the sustainable use of information technology can not only control pandemics but also prevent their consequences for future generations.

General courses can effectively empower students and enhance their professional and social personality, and it is essential to continuously evaluate the effectiveness, status, and updating of these courses. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the factors influencing the effectiveness of teaching general courses in the medical curriculum in Iran. The study involved both qualitative and quantitative phases. After conducting semi-structured interviews with experts, medical students, and professors of general courses, and using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis method, 528 codes were extracted and classified into 4 themes, 11 categories, and 33 subcategories. The main themes included updating the curriculum, focusing on effective and purposeful learning, collaboration and needs assessment of the stakeholders, and linking general courses with practical skills. Based on the results of the qualitative phase, a model for the effective teaching of general courses was developed using Delphi method with subject matter experts, and the validity of the model was confirmed with a two-round validation process. Removing unnecessary courses or those with repetitive content, designing needs-oriented content, involving experts in course revisions, using skill-based education methods, increasing skill-based and practical courses, flexibility in evaluation, and utilizing new educational technologies indicated the highest mean and consensus index. The results showed the necessity of evolving the traditional education system, rethinking, revising the topics and content, focusing on skills based on new needs, promoting evaluation models, and utilizing modern tools and technologies in teaching general courses.

Universities play an important role in educating efficient and entrepreneurial human resources and producing knowledge for other institutions and organizations in society, and this role and position of excellence in knowledge-based development is not hidden from anyone. Since governance is one of the most important aspects of higher education and has a great impact on educational and research activities, it has been significantly affected by these changes. The general purpose of the current research was to investigate the impact of university governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities on future foresight in Babol universities in order to present a model.

This research is applied in terms of purpose, which was conducted with a mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative). In the qualitative approach, the Delphi method was used, and in the quantitative approach, the descriptive correlation type method was used. The statistical population in the qualitative department of the professors of the universities of Babol city, who had management experience of more than 10 years and the scientific rank of associate professor and above, was identified in the number of 20 people using the purposeful sampling method and were present in the study. Based on the saturation law, the number of 10 was determined and was selected as a statistical sample. The main goal of this stage of the research was to examine and explore the concepts and categories related to university governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities and creating a questionnaire for the quantitative part. Therefore, at this stage, in order to achieve the indicators of academic governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities, through in-depth and exploratory interviews individually with the scientific experts who were purposefully selected, the necessary qualitative data were collected. Concepts and categories were identified and analyzed. These concepts and categories became the basis for developing a tool (questionnaire) for university governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities, thus a "qualitative review" was carried out at this stage. Since the current research deals with the impact of university governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities on future foresight in Babol universities in order to provide a model, in this research, the researcher used the data obtained through interviews and questionnaires after extracting and classifying through SPSS20 and PLS3.2 software and Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical tests, single sample t, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Friedman test, and structural equations have been analyzed. What will be stated next is data analysis based on qualitative, quantitative, and inferential data.

Based on the coefficients of the path, there is a factor load of 0.295 between the exogenous variable (university governance with the development approach of fourth-generation universities) and the endogenous variable (foresight), also because the t-value (4.587) is outside the range (2.58 and -2.58), so the impact of university governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities on the future is significant at the level of 0.99. Looking at the t value of the components of both variables, we find that this relationship is significant between all the components of the variables. Among the variable components of university governance with the development approach of fourth-generation universities, the highest t-statistic belongs to the "university perspective" component from the set of organizational dimension components with a value of 44.166, and among the prospective components, the highest t-statistic belongs to the stages component. The executable is associated with the value 152.210. The results of data analysis in this section have shown that the relationship between the impact of university governance and the development approach of fourth-generation universities in the future has been confirmed and there is a significant correlation between all variables. Also, after examining the relationship between university governance and the development approach of fourth-generation universities, the main hypothesis was confirmed.

The Conclusions of this research are based on the data obtained from interviews with professors and informants in this field. According to the presented discussion, university governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities has very important effects in the fields of foresight and science production. Fourth-generation universities, as advanced and innovative higher education institutions, can contribute to the development of technology and innovation, the promotion of future skills, leading research, and effective interaction with industry and society. Appropriate university governance can promote these goals and help realize the future and produce science in societies and the world. These efforts not only lead to scientific and technological progress, but also help to realize economic, social, and cultural goals in human societies. As a result, university governance with the approach of developing fourth-generation universities can help the progress and development of societies and the world as a broad and fundamentally similar whole. The most attention to the importance of the development of the fourth generation universities in the field of university governance can create positive effects and the development of societies and the world for a long time. Fourth-generation universities, as institutions of higher education focusing on advanced research and development of new technologies, play an essential role in scientific and technological development. They contribute to the production of scientific and practical knowledge related to the trade, industry, and economy of societies and are very effective for economic progress. The relationship between academic governance and the development approach of fourth-generation universities is a variable of foresight at an average level, and the impact of academic governance and the development approach of fourth-generation universities on foresight is significant.

Global trends and national policies have made internationalization and paying attention to the international markets of higher education inevitable on the one hand and becoming a legal requirement of Iranian medical sciences universities on the other hand. Therefore, the main goal of this article was to show, by examining the experience of international marketing of higher education in Tehran University of Medical Sciences, what are the futures of international marketing of higher education in medical sciences?

in this documented data and the views, knowledge and lived experiences of the beneficiaries of the University of Medical Sciences were the basis of the study, and in the following, the methods of documentary studies, trend analysis, brainstorming, expert panel, theme analysis and scenario planning were used.

The most important achievement of this article is that among the challenges facing the international marketing of higher education in the University of Medical Sciences, two driving forces have the highest importance and uncertainty in shaping the future of this issue, including: sustainable security and cultural development.

The normalization of political and economic relations with the world along with appropriate cultural development inside and outside the university and acceptance of cultural, racial, religious, intellectual, ethnic and gender differences strengthens the marketing process of higher education. In such a situation, the risk of investing in providing international higher education will be reduced. Therefore, the most expensive and the most important uncertainty facing the country's universities in international marketing is the attitude and approach of science and technology governance to the relations and structure governing the international system.

Adolescents' experiences, foresight, life style and self-control play an important role in how they face with life challenges. So, the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between Foresight, Islamic lifestyle and self-control with adolescents' religious identity.

The design of the present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the study consisted of all secondary high school students (females and males) in Rudan City, who were studying in the academic year of 2019-2020. From the statistical population, 200 students (100 females and 100 males) were selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling and studied. Questionnaires of Foresight, Islamic life Style, Self-control and Religious Identity were used to collect data. After collecting and extracting data, participants' scores were analyzed used Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis.

Data analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between, foresight, islamic lifestyle and self-control with adolescents' religious identity (R = 0/62). The results also showed that futurism, Islamic lifestyle and self-control, significantly have the power to predict religious identity in adolescents (p ≤ 0.01). Based on the results, self-control (β =0/56), Islamic lifestyle (β =0/15) and Foresight (β =0/54) could predict religious identity in adolescents.

According to the result, Foresight, self-control and islamic life style have a constructive and effective role in determining religious identity, positive confrontation with challenges, positive self-image and improving the quality of life in adolescence.

Foresight of a new way of thinking that can challenge the originality of zero-one logic in the experimental sciences and modern medicine. This logic, by focusing on patient-health orientation and insisting on forecasting, leads health organizations and institutions to be passive in the face of future events. This study has been written with the aim of foresight with a backcasting approach and helping to build the future of the health system with a focus on health at the national level and based on the Islamic-Iranian lifestyle.

In this research, using the Laprospective school approach and using the process governing the software, the software analyzes the goals and actions of the actors as well as the relationship between the goals and the actors through in-depth interviews with 25 health system experts.

Among the future goals of the countrychr('39')s health system, the goal of Organization and University Wisdom base as an infrastructure goal has the lowest net distance from other goals and among the actors of the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education, family physicians and non-governmental organizations has the highest Were important.

The current structure of the health system due to the patient-health-oriented approach is not responsible for dealing with the new generation of diseases due to lifestyle changes. Therefore, the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education needs to change the current paradigm governing the health system due to its duty to be the stewardship of the health system.

In order to adopt the right technologies, policy makers should have adequate information about the present and future advances.
