Tajan river is one of the biggest and the most important river in Iran. It emerges from Alborz mountain and north of Semnan provice and after 180 km continuing to Caspian sea. So, protection of this river from industrial and agricultural pollution is quite crucial. On the other hand the knowledge of water quality is one of the essential management tools in integrated water management control. The aim of this study was awareness of changing in water quality in different seasons. The samples were collected from different stations along the river during different seasons of 2000.The samples were analyzed for BOD5, COD, TDS, pH, EC, DO, NO2, NO3, NH4, PO4, and total and fecal coliform. The results of this study showed that the minimum and maximum of BOD are 18 and 25 times higher than standard limit respectively. The results also showed that the average of total coliform bacteria is up to 60 times higher than standard limit.

Seyyed Hussein Nasr, like other traditionalists, is a serious critic of modernism. He considers this criticism of modernism as Something divine and a duty of all Islamic thinkers and theologians. He not only criticizes the negative consequences and effects of modernism, but also believes that its theoretical foundations are shaky. According to him, the amnesia of Divine Reality, the loss of the sense of the sacred in human knowledge, replacing theocentrism with humanism, and lacking of spirituality are fundamental critiques of western civilization. Undermining religion, promoting fundamentalism, destroying environment, scientism, individualism, creating moral crisis, losing family identity, and changing the concepts of freedom, human rights, etc. are Dr. Nasr's other critiques of western civilization. He is unable to present a proper alternative for modernism, and considers the goodness of modernism as accidental and its badness as essential. He proposes traditionalism as the alternative for modernism, which itself is created by the West and has some problems. This paper, using a documentary and analytical method, investigates modernity from his point of view.

Examining stable agriculture and itۥs sub-systems is essential for obtaining more knowledge and information about these systems’ situation and، consequently، designing appropriate strategies and programs in moving towards stable agriculture. The main goal of this study is to examine the technological effects of modernization، renewal and consolidation of rice fields and to assess its success in terms of the above-mentioned criteria based on farmers and experts’ viewpoints. The statistical community of this research consists of two groups. The first group includes 9 villages from Gharetoghan located in central part of Neka which have undergone the mentioned project. The other group consists of the experts that the project is directly performed by them or they were responsible in the performed project. The data was collected through field study and questionnaire distributed among the 260 farmers of the area understudy and 68 experts. The findings show that there is a correlation between the farmers and experts in the effectiveness of the project in terms of technological aspect. The correlation coefficients of technological aspect are 0/641 respectively.

The great Islamie gnostics have divided God’s Names and Attributes with commandment in general and commandment not in general, and they also divided them into Names of the essence, qualitative Names and names of acts. The Names of Essence which themselves are divided into absolute identity are the most beautiful ones. The selective Names have no manifestation and they have been hidden in the Essence. Besides, the God,s attributes has been divided into the positive and negative ones which Respectively are as fallowe: (1)The Eternally life, The Necessity and the self-subsistence and (2) The absolutely Rich, the All Holy and the Glorified The Islamic mystics called the beautiful attributes essential and His glory ones accidental.The mothers of the divine Names are the Eternally Living, the power, the Knowledge, the will, the Audition, the Vision, and God's Word.

One of the key aspects to ensure long-term competitiveness of organizations, countries or regions is the knowledge development, which the research centers play an important role. The rapid growth of demand for research and development has been tend to emergence of range of research centers. Along with the emergence of such centers, mechanisms adaptation seems to be essential to assess their performance. Several studies in the field of evaluating the different organizations performance (such as services, manufacturing, etc.) is done, but in the field of research centers performance evaluation, research is rare. Given the urgency of this matter, in this paper the performance of National Research Institute for Science Policy (NRISP) has been evaluated using EFQM framework (version 2010) in terms of its enablers (5 dimensions). The results in each dimension shows that the NRSIP in the field of "leadership" is more desirable than other areas, and in the field of "partnerships and resources" the situation is worse than other areas.

According to the views of leading theorists in the field of industrial development studies, specifically those who have focused on developing countries like Rodrick, Evans, Chang and Block industrial policy making should take place in realm of "strategic network cooperation" or a kind of "embeddedness" among government and pioneer entrepreneurs. In this study, we tried to study mechanisms through which such "embeddedness" has occurred (transpired) in the rapid growth of the biopharmecutal sector in Iran. Through such processes and mechanisms, the policy needs of the private section has been swiftly transfered to policy makers in the government section. Based on a qualitative strategy, empirical data gathered through interviews with 39 influential persons in Biopharmaceutical sector. Then data has been thematically analyzed and codified, and finally, three main embeddedness mechanisms and procedures has been identified. The most important mechanism was, university researchers, take ‘consecutive’ administrative (management, executive) positions in both government and industry. In this process which we name "institutional circulation" policy needs of the private section as well as essential information and knowledge transfers easily to the policy makers in the government and put the government and industry section in a mutual learning process.

The conflict between divine foreknowledge and human free will is a major controversy within theology and philosophy of religion. Needless to say, the proper notion of time and its relation to God is essential for coping with this conflict. Based on this notion, there are three solutions to the conflict including “indeterminacy of the future”, “unknowability of future free acts”, and “Timelessness of divine knowledge”. In this paper, I shall begin by evaluation of the first two theories and show how they cannot settle the conflict. I shall, then, assess the third theory and show that it is the most successful one. Besides, the theories of some Christian philosophers like Thomas Aquinas, Anselm and Boethius are explained in light of the thoughts of Islamic philosophers, especially Qazi Saeed al-Qumi.

Theistic and atheistic beliefs respectively play a fundamental role in the definition of man's free will and moral responsibility, so far as they can determine the nature, quality, and quantity of human's freedom. After believing in God, the belief in a revealed or a non-revealed religion and the manner in which God’s attributes are interpreted play an essential role in the definition of free will. In fact, the nature of our understanding of some of God’s attributes—such as His knowledge, power, will, creation, and sovereignty—as well as His relation to human beings can impact the way we envision the quality and quantity of man’s free will. In revealed religions, God is introduced as the personal and all-powerful being, who is the real creator of humans, and humans are considered His creatures, servants, and vicegerents. Human free will and moral responsibility is defined in the light of such a theistic perspective.

Successful implementation of socio-economic projects depends on the degree of planners’ awareness of farmers’ risk coefficient. Because agriculture is a risky activity, knowledge about the farmers’ attitudes toward risk in each area is essential. This research investigated the farmers’ risk behavior in Homayjan district in Sepidan township. Cross-section and time series data were collected from a random sample of farmers and from Agricultural Department of Fars Province, respectively. In this study, the Safety First Rule (SFR), Generalized Stochastic Production Function (GSPF) and Target Motad models were used. The results indicated that in this area, farmers are risk averse in crop production, but they have a low risk coefficient in the use of modern inputs. Signs of GSPF revealed that the use of modern resource input reduces risk. Target Motad risk programming model confirmed that farmers are risk averse because with increasing risk, crops like wheat that have relatively stable prices and yield enter the model, while crops like onion that have high instability in price and yield are omitted from the model.

The increase of terrorist acts and the essential, methodological and instrumental evolution of terrorism have led to the emergence of various forms of terrorist acts that cannot be combated with conventional and existing patterns. In this study, the researcher has addressed the comprehensive model for the fight against terrorism in order to enhance the domestic knowledge of this phenomenon and to pay attention to the practical needs existed in this field. The researcher by using descriptive-analytical method aims to identify both positive and negative aspects of comprehensive model for fighting terrorism. This model is based on six strategic policies as follows: A) Policies designed and implemented for the purpose of physical confrontation, weakening and/or elimination of terrorist unit, such as information dominance, organizational empowerment and operational dominance. B) Policies designed to socialize counter-terrorism and are meant to create a powerfully integrated society which has a high degree of impenetrability and certitude in potential terrorist acts. From this perspective, the priority is given to strengthen internal consistency, to heighten public awareness, and to increase the threshold of social tolerance and insight.
