Abstract
Nowadays, application of enhanced oil recovery methods has increased; therefore it’s necessary to determine their impacts on environment and human life. So, this research investigates the environmental impacts of conventional enhanced oil recovery methods and new methods such as using electromagnetic waves, ultrasound waves, and nanoparticles. The investigations show that electromagnetic waves and ultrasound can effectively remove many environmental pollutants. Characteristics of the wave and the type of formation determine that these waves have different effects on the formation, and efforts should be made to understand these effects to prevent damage to the formation. Nanoparticles can also reduce the quantity of pollutants in the environment. According to the mechanisms of entrapment of nanoparticles in the porous medium, they may remain in the reservoir and find their way to the underground water over time, so their environmental effects should be considered in the long term. A better knowledge of new methods of increasing oil extraction will lead to the identification and use of more suitable methods with less environmental effects (compared to conventional methods).

Abstract
Aims: Nurses need to think critically to provide effective care. They use critical thinking skills (CTS) every day to care based on the nursing process (NP). Caring and CT are at the core of professional nursing education. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between NP blended learning methods and CT.
Materials & Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental cross-sectional educational evaluation, which was performed on 26 undergraduate students in their third semester at the Ramsar School of Nursing in 2022. According to the training program, these students were divided into four groups. Data were collected by the checklist of NP scores and California Critical Thinking Skills Test; form-B before and after a two-phase, six-day intervention with blended learning.
Findings: The paired t-test showed that except for the stage of review and recognition, this difference was significant for other states and the total score, which indicates the effect of the blended method on learning clinical NP in students. Before training, 95.7% of students had strong CT, which reached 100% after training. A significant relationship was observed between the total score of the second stage of clinical NP and deductive reasoning after training (p=0.04). There was no significant relationship between the total score of clinical NP and the total score of CT before and after training.
Conclusion: Blended learning methods should be considered in nursing curricula, and it seems that traditional methods cannot be successful in learning NP and CT.

Abstract
Objective: Despite the importance of strategic innovation in the organization, research in this field is in its infancy and most studies have only described one or more aspects of these influencing factors. The purpose of this study is to identifying and conceptualizing the Antecedents of strategic innovation.
Methodology: This research is a mixed method (qualitative-quantitative) and in terms of purpose, it is applied-developmental research. At first, in the qualitative stage, meta synthesis method was used, then case study, and in the quantitative stage, DEMATEL method was used. To collect the data in the meta synthesis stage, a systematic literature review published in the years 1998 to 2022 was used, and in the case study stage, interviews were conducted with 21 experts active in the executive and academic department of football industry. Content analysis was used to analyze it, and finally, in the survey phase, using a questionnaire, the DEMATEL technique was used for the final model.
Research innovation: The results of the present research help managers and activists of the football industry to have a comprehensive view of the antecedents of strategic innovation in the football industry and provide the necessary background and platforms for strategic innovation in the football industry.
