Purpose: The purpose of the present paper was to study factors affecting the application of modern teaching methods by female teachers of Ilam Province. Methodology: The research is being conducted descriptively and is of a correlational type and an applied one. The statistical population includes about 4800 teachers, out of which 320 (sample size) were selected through cluster sampling. The main tool for collecting data was questionnaire which was validated and its reliability (Cronbach’s alpha) was 0.84. The statistical tests including correlation test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Findings: The results indicated that age (P= 0.000, R= - 0.55), level of education (P= 0.000, R= - 0.47), and length of service (P= 0.000, R= - 0.45) have significant, negative relationship with application of modern teaching methods. Variables of social responsibility (P= 0.000, R= 0.48) and attitude (P= 0.000, R= 0.71) have significant, positive relationship with application of modern teaching methods. One-way analysis of variance showed that there is a significant relationship between teachers’ teaching level and the application of modern teaching methods, such that elementary-school teachers used modern teaching methods more than high-school teachers. In-service training course (P= 0.133, R= 0.10) was the only variable having no relationship with the dependent variable. The results of regression analysis showed that the four remaining variables of the model, i.e. attitude, age, teaching level, and level of education, could explain about 0.60 of variance of the dependent variable. Conclusion: Considering the fact that teachers’ attitude plays the greatest part in prediction of application of modern teaching methods, the Education System authorities should take measures to change teachers’ attitude towards modern teaching methods.

purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the tendency of students working at the graduate level of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Research Sciences Branch. Methodology: The method of this research is survey and its statistical population (N) is postgraduate students of Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University in 1398. The sample population (n) was 300 subjects who were selected using Cochran's formula. The data of this study were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire with 4 variables and 26 questions. Regression analysis, Friedman test and other related inferential statistics were used for statistical analysis of data. Results: Based on the analysis of the data, 47.5% of the students at a very high level stated that they have a tendency to migrate (bronchochi). In this regard, based on the findings of regression analysis, repulsive factors (internal) with a beta of 329%, gravitational factors (external) with a beta of 271% and individual factors with a coefficient of 249% had the highest predictability of students for migration, respectively. Also, based on the results of Friedman test, political factors with an average rank of 3.64 and social factors with an average rank of 3.39 had the greatest role and influence on the tendency of elites to emigrate abroad. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, scientific elites have a negative assessment of the internal conditions of the country in political, social, economic and cultural dimensions and have a positive attitude towards the conditions of developed countries. Therefore, it can be said that being multidimensional and even the accumulation of various issues causes the elite to decide to emigrate despite all internal dependencies. It seems that the formal government can prevent the outflow of this capital by identifying the students' problems.

Some experts believe that employees are the most important element to create Evolution in the organization, so in most organizations, managers look for to identify the expert staff in different parts of the organization so that they can play a significant role in improving the quality, efficiency and productivity of the organization by teaching) transferring the knowledge and experiences of these people (to other employees. In order to identify qualified employees, it is necessary to evaluate how the work is done in terms of quantity and quality to gain the understanding, knowledge and ability of employees in relation to the performance of tasks. Therefore, in determining the capacity and abilities of employees, it is not enough just to quantitatively evaluate the assigned tasks, it is necessary to refer to the qualitative evaluation by obtaining the opinion of the relevant official in accordance with how to perform the assigned tasks (experimental and tacit knowledge). In most government and public organizations, the tasks assigned to employees are not related to the job description, and also due to their multi-task, it is not possible to identify the skills of each person in each field. In order to determine the capacity and capabilities of employees, it is necessary to obtain a clear definition of the different parts of the work of the data recorded by employees in the operating systems of the organization. Then, by defining the operational model based on data mining, such as: combining quantitative and qualitative scores, eliminating additional data, preparing data and identifying the relationship between data, acceptable results were achieved. In this study (Case study: Bank of Industry and Mines) first using Delphi method, different sections of employees' work based on their activities are identified (categorized into 6 groups), then by collecting data from the system: Traffic control, performance evaluation system (completion of quality performance score of employees by branch heads), banking operations system) BANCO (and by analyzing them, the expert forces of the organization were identified. By reviewing the results and feedback on the identified qualified staff, the level of performance satisfaction in this method was also assessed, which has been highly acceptable.

From the beginning of creation and creation of human communities until today, many dangers have threatened people's lives. Some of these risks leave such an economic impact and bring the level of livelihood to its lowest level that causes governments to feel responsible towards the victims and organize their efforts to manage these risks. The declaration of such responsibility by governments and the creation of social insurance cause such risks to take on a social color. Although examples of social risks, which can be classified into three categories of risks arising from professional life, physical risks and risks arising from family formation, have been identified in many legal systems, but the concept of social risk is still neglected. Acceptance of the opposite of risk raises the idea that when a person implicitly or explicitly accepts the risk of harm caused by another party, he cannot demand damages from the causer of the harm due to the harm caused. Countering the risk is a one-sided legal act that affects the ability to assign fault to the defendant, and is an absolver of fault or an obstacle to guarantee. In Iranian law, the theory of conflict of risk is not accepted, but this theory is widely used in society.

Purpose: Brand experience plays an important role in creating a competitive advantage for the organization. Therefore, the aim of this study was to presenting a developed model of the causal factors of team brand experience and sponsor brand experience.Methodology: The current study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was descriptive from type of correlation. The research population was experts in the field of sports marketing, especially football, officials and board members of the Football Federation and Premier League clubs, and players and coaches working at the professional levels of football, which 400 people of them were selected as a sample with using a purposive sampling method. The research tools were researcher-made questionnaires of team brand experience and sponsor brand experience, which were completed online by samples, and its formal and content validity was confirmed by the opinion of experts, and their reliability was evaluated appropriate with Cronbach's alpha and combined methods. Data were analyzed with exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling methods in SPSS26 and Smart PLS3 software at a significance level of 0.05.Findings: The findings showed that the questionnaires of 16 people from the samples were removed from the analysis due to being incomplete, and the analyzes were performed for 384 people. Also, the results of the exploratory factor analysis showed that the team brand experience has 10 components in the 4 dimensions of the club's role (with 4 components of club performance, team performance, player performance and management effort and follow-up), team brand imagery (with 2 components of developing the club's positive image and association of the club brand), role of sports officials (with 2 components of better holding of league and quality of service delivery) and maintaining the team brand (with 2 components of fans' loyalty to the club and fans' expectations) and the sponsor brand experience has 12 components in the 4 dimensions of the introducing the sponsor brand (with 2 components of conceptualization of the sponsor brand and cultivation of brand support), organization of sponsor brand (with 3 components of development of sponsorship programs, development of sponsor communication and matching of the sponsor and the target community), promotion of the sponsor brand (with 5 components of specialized marketing, advertising of the sponsor brand, role of social media, efficiency of information technology and the development of revenue generation and market share) and institutionalization of the sponsor brand (with 2 components of creating satisfaction and loyalty and creating brand value). The factor load of all questions was higher than 0.40, the average variance extracted of all dimensions was higher than 0.40, and the Cronbach and combined reliability of all dimensions was higher than 0.80. In addition, the results of structural equation modeling showed that the developed model of the causal factors of team brand experience and sponsor brand experience had a good fit, and both variables of team brand experience and sponsor brand experience had a direct and significant effect on the overall model and its related components (P<0.05).Conclusion: The developed model of the causal factors of team brand experience and sponsor brand experience of the present research can be used for experts and planners in the field of sports, and by using its dimensions and components can be used to create a competitive advantage.

Purpose: Social, economic and political development in the modern era is not possible without the emphasis of policies and planning on knowledge and awareness, and modern and efficient social sciences have a special place in this. Social science will also be efficient and useful when it has the ability to understand problems and provide effective solutions for the target society. Due to the relativity of social sciences and their dependence on the contexts, cultures, and social contexts of the target society, this will not be achieved without indigenization of social sciences. Despite five decades of efforts and propaganda to localize social sciences in Iran, unfortunately, we do not see the formation or institutionalization of the process of local science production, and this shows the lack of understanding and recognition of the roots of the problem of non-production of science in the country. . Therefore, it is necessary first of all to try to understand these obstacles and then solve them.Methodology: In this research, an attempt has been made to design a theory with related and coherent elements based on causal explanation, which, if successful, can turn part of the unknowns into information.Findings: In this research, the role of variables such as talent and psychology, education and learning system, work and employment system and finally politics and political system are examined and evaluated. In response to the failure to produce indigenous science, various theories and arguments have been proposed; Some consider the causes subjective and believe that the problem is caused by the mental elites or the mentalities of the scientific community; But some others look for the roots in the characteristics of the scientific community or the entire environment of the scientific community. Others refer to one of the elements and sub-systems of the whole system (economy, politics, society, or sociability) based on the Parsonsian model.Conclusion: Apparently, none of the mentioned approaches regarding Iran can be considered convincing; Therefore, the problem of this research is that; What model can be used to analyze the effective factors in the lack of indigenous science production in Iran? Is it not possible to reach a meaningful integrated model with individual and social elements as well as mental and structural elements?
