Today, the debate over the foundations of democracy good or not, but the debate over what is better and more efficient form of democracy? And what is the democratic criterion of individual actions. Global developments in the last quarter of the twentieth century until the present, given the breadth and scope that encompasses much of the world and also deepening it in different layers of society - both of which are features of globalization - reducing the role and functions of government and the emergence of new conditions for the transition to democracy and democratic government and is specialized. Nowadays patterns "participatory democracy and self-determination" as the latest theories on democracy patterns have emerged. Democracy is much wider than its previous models of these patterns and even patterns of liberal representative democracy, because more focus on the contributions of individuals to determine their destiny. This paper has reviewed and analyzed over the course of the evolution of the field of view of the great theorists.

The impact of the different integral scales of two isotropic turbulent fields on the dynamics of a shear-free turbulent mixing layer is investigated. To this end, two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equation is numerically solved using pseudo-spectral method. Governing equations are considered in the vorticity-stream function formulation to guarantee the divergence freeness of the velocity field. Dynamics of the turbulent interaction is examined through relevant statistical parameters such as skewness and kurtosis of the velocity components and their spatial derivatives. Moreover, the efficiency of mixing is investigated by considering the length and curvature of the mixing layer. It has been observed that increasing the difference between the initial integral length scales of two isotropic turbulent fields increases the mixing and anisotropic level of interaction.

In the present study, the influence of drying temperature on energy consumption and qualitative characteristics of onion including rehydration capacity, vitamin C content and total phenolic content (TPC) was investigated. Onion slices with 3 mm thickness was dried in a hot air dryer at temperatures 0f 40‒70 °C. Specific energy consumption and energy efficiency were significantly (P < 0.05) improved by increasing temperature and obtained to be in the range of 35.83‒59.33 MJ/kg and 4.01‒6.52%, respectively. Increasing air temperature resulted in significant (p < 0.05) improvement in energy consumption indices. Rehydration capacity in the dried onion samples varied from 4.01% (at drying temperature of 40 °C) to 6.52 (at drying temperature of 70 °C). Vitamin C content in fresh samples was 50.19, and in dried samples varied from 14.92 to 21.38 mg/100 g _{dry matter}. TPC was measured using Foline–Ciocalteu reagent and found that the TPC in fresh onions (389.6 mg GAE/100 _{dry matter}) was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in the dried samples (212.3‒295.8 mg GAE/100 _{dry matter}). Based on the obtained results, drying of the onions at higher temperatures led to more deterioration in vitamin C content and the TPC.
