Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the aggregate analysis of linguistic variables of South Ruedbar language varieties in Kerman province by using the dialectometry and mapping software package with a quantitative and holistic approach. Data collection has been done from 22 sites from the south seven cities of Kerman province. For this purpose, a questionnaire containing 208 words and 10 basic sentences based on ‘National Language Atlas Project Questionnaire of Iran’ and ‘Morris Swadesh basic list words’ are used. The validity of mentioned questionnaire was 0.98 based on Cronbach’s alpha test. The results of aggregate analysis showed that 6 major dialect clusters are distinct and these dialect clusters are divided into subclusters. Each of these dialect clusters has distinct phonetical, phonological, morphological, or syntactical features that set it apart from other clusters. Based on statistical analysis, the ‘A’ dialect cluster due to the use of the continuous prefix /mi-/ and plural suffix /-hɑ/ in comparison to other clusters has the highest similarity and the ‘B’ cluster in cases such as the use of the infinitive suffix /-eng/ and continuous suffix /-æ/ has the highest difference in terms of morphology and syntacticity with the standard Persian. The ‘J’, ‘D’, ‘H’ and ‘V’ dialect clusters despite their distinction from the standard Persian, as the use of the continuous prefix /-ʔæ/ and plural suffix /-on/, are most similar to Aeach other and in terms of phonetic process and the presence of South Ruedbar variety special phones are similar to ‘B’cluster.

Abstract
Review and analysis of verbal thought prevailing over syntactic principles are important phenomena in Arabic Linguistics; a thought which as a general principle dominating syntactic science seems trivial comparing to that general issue. From a long time ago, a syntactic science which grasps the structure of Arabic language has occupied the mind of old and contemporary linguists of this field of thought; a science which seems essential for logical understanding of Arabic language structure. Among the fourfold syntactic principles, review and analysis of this verbal thought regarding the issue of “audition”, which is another evidence of syntactic principles such as “analogy” and “consensus”, persuades us to carry out this study. The study focuses on the viewpoint of two old and contemporary linguists and scholars of syntactic principles named al-Suyuti from the ninth century and Tammam Hassan of the contemporary time. Having a descriptive-analytical approach, existing resources and lingual data were reviewed. The results show that regarding the audition’s evidence and one of its resources which is the issue of citing Quranic readings to regularize syntactic rules, al-Suyuti of the ninth century, considering his religious concern, accepts citing all kinds of readings by considering “اﻟﻘﺮاءه ﺳُﻨﺔٌ ﻣُﺘَّﺒَﻌَﺔٌ ولا تُخالَف” but Tammam Hassan accepts citing readings by considering the condition of “مستندهٌ بالأسانید المعتبره””. On the issue of citing the Prophet’s hadiths, al-Suyuti accepts the views of al-Shatibi which are conditioned but Tammam Hassan believes that citing hadiths quoted by meaning is acceptable for regularizing syntactic rules because they

Abstract
This article tries to identify the common stability themes and factors in the poems of Shamlu and Darvish. For doing so, the poems of these poets were investigated in descriptive and analytical way. Comparative study of Shamlu and Darvish poems in the scope of stability poetry and explaining the common elements and analysis of the stability themes from content and linguistic perspective will be effective in analysis of the stability poetry in the world literature. In addition, this analysis helps us to identify these poets’ ideology and thoughts in detail. Therefore, the common elements of stability poetry in the world literature are recognized by broad research on the resistance literature of the nations. The poems of Mahmud Darvish and Ahmad Shamlu contain numerous common themes on resistance literature such as patriotism, confronting oppression and liberty and etc. The conditions of both poets have influenced their poetry and both of them have expressed their ideals ideologically because of tyranny and suffocation.

Abstract
Aim: Concerning the high prevalence of chronic pain and the remarkable role of psychological empowerment in chronic pain management, identifying factors influencing psychological empowerment in chronic pain management is of high importance. Hence, the current study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators of using psychological empowerment in chronic pain management from health care providers and patients’ viewpoints.
Method and Materials: The grounded theory approach was applied using semi-structured interviews and observation of participants as the main methods for data collection. Fifteen members of the health care providers had a greater relationship with the psychotic dimensions of chronic pain management and 6 patients with chronic pain participated with purposive and theoretical sampling methods in Ahvaz city. Sampling was continued until data saturation and data analysis were performed concurrently with data gathering based on Corbin and Strauss’s proposed method. Data validity was confirmed via Lincoln and Guba’s approach.
Findings: Two themes of “emotional dysregulation” and “negative attitude towards pain”, were identified as barriers to psychological empowerment. Emotional dysregulation consisted of two subsets of the emotional synergy of pain and the inefficiency of symptomatic therapies. Negative
attitudes toward pain also consisted of subsets of false assumptions about pain and lack of self- efficacy. Two themes of “pain acceptance” and “finding the meaning of pain” were also identified as facilitators of psychological empowerment. In this regard, the content of pain acceptance consisted of subcategories of increasing awareness, reality acceptance, and a positive attitude toward pain. Two subcategories of values and pain love also created pain meaning themes.
Conclusion: To evaluate and properly manage chronic pain, consideration of the psychological dimensions of the pain, including barriers and facilitators of the psychological empowerment process, can be beneficial in designing a comprehensive care program to improve chronic management

Abstract
PhD Student of TEFL, English Department, Faculty of Foreign Languages and The available empirical evidence on the long-term efficacy of written corrections is limited to the studies that have investigated the effect of focused feedback on improving grammatical accuracy of two specific aspects of English articles. It is clear that focused corrections, which target only one or two grammatical error types at a time, lack ecological validity in writing courses. The aim of the present study is to investigate the reaction of different structures to corrections which enjoy more validity in writing classes. Using a pretest-posttest design, the long-term reaction of three features of English grammar (articles, the infinitive, and the present unreal conditional) to mid-focused and unfocused written feedback and revision were investigated. The results showed that on the delayed posttest, which was administered one month after the feedback treatment, the performance of the students in the experimental groups was not significantly different from the control group and that there were no significant absolute gains in any of the groups compared with pretest scores.

Abstract: Current study is a pioneer quantitative analysis of Mazandarani (Tabari) language varieties, and aims to contribute to Mazandarani Dialectometry, as well as to substantiate its dialect continuum. We applied a computational measure of pronunciation differences to a database of 4521 word pronunciations of 62 entries –originating in “The National Project of The Linguistic Atlas of Iran”- from 73 sites throughout northern Iran -bounded to the Myankaleh Peninsula in North, to the Alborz Mountains in South, to Gorgan Golf in East, and to the Babolsar and Savadkuh cities in West. 38% of subjects were females their average age and education were respectively 36 years and 6 years of primary school. The result is a comprehensive view of the increasing aggregate pronunciation differences from Southeast to Northwest. The calculated language distance index outlined Galeshi as a Mazandarani dialect and four Mazandarani regional accents mapped in Northeastern (Myankaleh Peninsula), Southeastern (Galugah County), Central (Naka and Sari districts), and western (Juybar City) regions.

Abstract
In this paper a new approach for forming sheet metals by explosion of gas mixtures is presented. As the sheet metal shapes by the impact and pressure resulted from the explosion, it undergoes through a plastic deformation phase. Testing apparatus which is built for the first time in Iran, consists of a thick-walled cylinder (expolsion chamber), various dies for shaping, and measuring instruments.
Unlike techniques used in conventional systems, in this method, the wave impact acts as the male part of the die to form and produce different engineering components.
Experimental results presented show the effect of various parameters such as thickness, boundary conditions, and the material type of the work-piece, also the percentage of gas mixture on the distribution of thickness/circumferential strain in the work-piece. Furthermore, an analytical model based on the plastic work calculations for the sheet metal deformation is presented.

Abstract
In recent years, the use of translation theories has become increasingly common in the field of Quranic translation, with the aim of creating a structured framework for evaluating these translations. Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet's book "Comparative Stylistics of French and English," which was first published in 1958, contains techniques that are widely used by translators. The present study aimed to examine the application of Vinay and Darbelnet's strategies in the translations of three Quranic translators, namely Niʻmatullāh Ṣāliḥī Najafābādī, Muḥammad ʻAlī Kūshā, and Karīm Zamānī. Using a descriptive, analytical, and confrontational method, the study evaluates the quality of their use of these strategies. The findings of the research indicate that, given the sanctity of the Quran and its unique linguistic features, the translators have tended to use literal translation more frequently than other components of direct translation. Among the indirect translation techniques, transposition has the highest frequency due to the differences in grammatical structures between Arabic and Persian. The adaptation technique, on the other hand, has a lower frequency due to cultural similarities between the two languages and the prohibition of excessive manipulation in Quranic translation. Zamānī and Kūshā have used indirect translation methods more frequently than Ṣāliḥī. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the use of Vinay and Darbelnet's translation strategies in the context of Quranic translation. It provides valuable insights into the approaches adopted by these three translators and highlights the importance of considering the linguistic and cultural nuances of both the source and target languages while translating the Quran.

Abstract
Through a survey conducted in West Azarbaijan province, northwestern Iran in 2022, infested fruits of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae) were collected. Anarsia eleagnella Kuznetsov, 1957 (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) was obtained from laboratory rearing. A parasitic wasp was collected in the rearing container that was identified under Hyssopus geniculatus (Hartig, 1838) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). This parasitoid is a primary ectoparasitoid and a new record of H. geniculatus on A. eleagnella. Also, the association of H. geniculatus with E. angustifolia and the family Elaeagnaceae is new. Notes on the diagnostic characters of H. geniculatus are provided and illustrations of A. eleagnella and H. geniculatus are presented. The feeding behaviour of A. eleagnella larvae is preliminarily studied. Finally, the colour variations of the collected H. geniculatus specimens compared to the published literature are discussed.

Abstract
The "interaction behavior analysis" system is a theory of contemporary psychological schools in response to how the mind works, why we decide to do something, and how we stop something from being done. The present article, based on Eric Byrne's theories and how the inner states of "parent,adult,child"change,examines the components of "mental empowerment" in"Traveling". What is reflected in the exchanges and interactions of the"winners and losers" of the "traveling" characters is the power of "mental empowerment"on each side of the pyramid. According to the component analysis, the "parent" mode has a higher frequency than the "adult and child" and determines the power of the "parent"to negotiate and exchange mental and behavioral exchanges between individuals. The present study is an analytical-descriptive method and in response to the question "What are the components of psychological analysis as a result of"Traveling"by"Mahshid Amirshahi"?"Has studied the characters of the novel based on the psychological theory of behavior analysis by Eric Byrne. In the contemporary period, the conceptual connection of many sciences such as literature and psychology reveals the connection between the literary framework of the novel and fiction with new psychological theories and perceptions. It has a wider scope and the "parent" mode plays the most important role in data processing and decision-making process.The result of examining the components is the poor performance of "adults"and "children"against "parent"decisions, and that "parent" decisions are not based on the quality and appropriateness of solutions, but on the basis of institutionalized information and high data capacity in the field.

Abstract
In recent years, the term "customer relationship management" has attracted much attention in the field of marketing and commerce. This study aimed to an analysis of the effect of customer relationship management dimensions on its success in service organizations with a meta-analysis approach. For this purpose, from 62 studies (from 2014 to 2018), 18 methodological and research objectives were accepted and meta-analysis was carried out on them. The research tool was a meta-analytic checklist. The findings showed that the propagation bias in the analyzed analysis is intangible. Also, the size of the impact of customer relationship management dimensions on the success of customer relationship management in service organizations was found to be 0.59 (Sig: 0/001). Accordingly, customer orientation (with an influence size of 0.601) and customer satisfaction (with a dependence size of 0.65) had the greatest impact on customer relationship management. The effect size according to Cohen's table is too high. We conclude that businesses are based on customer orientation and customer satisfaction so that the development and provision of services without considering this principle is not only difficult but impossible. Therefore, service organizations should focus all their activities and capabilities on customer satisfaction, because customers are the only source of return on investment. However, competitive markets today require all organizations to be customer-oriented.

Abstract
Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the Nurse Competency Predicting Scale (NCPS) scores and those of the Principles and the course of Techniques of Nursing Procedures (PTNPs), particularly its theoretical and practical units, among nursing students.
Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the new entrance nursing students at the Guilan University of Medical Sciences. In total, 175 nursing students were recruited by the census method. Then, the NCPS was completed online, and the data analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation coefficient, ANOVA, and t-test by SPSS 21.
Findings: The mean NCPS score of the students was 73.14±10.23. A statistically significant relationship was observed between the nursing students’ paramedic clinical experience, reason for choosing nursing as their field of study, interest in studying nursing, desire to work in the nursing profession, and intention of doing a PhD degree and their NCPS scores (p<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant relationship between the NCPS scores and scores of the course of PTNPs, and the first internship scores (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The capacity to acquire NC among the new entrance nursing students is at a high level. Here, the students with the intention of doing a PhD, and a history of paramedic clinical experience, interested in studying nursing and working in the nursing profession reported a higher NC. Considering these key factors during university admissions can be suggested to strengthen NC in the nursing profession.

Abstract
Reservoir dams are among the main storage systems employed in agriculture for the several past decades. Proper operation of these reservoirs is important for irrigation espe-cially in such arid and semi-arid areas like Iran, and particularly during dry years. A computational framework for reservoir simulation and flood routing is hereby presented. A key aspect of the reservoir simulation is the ease of use by managers and model users. In this paper, an object-oriented toolkit for building computer models for simulation of reservoir operation and flood routing in Boukan reservoir dam is used. The modeling ap-proach taken in this paper is significantly different from that typically employed in the development of water resources planning and management models. The medium in this kind of model provides a graphical object-oriented interface that allows the user(s) to model complex systems without even requiring a profound proficiency in computer pro-gramming. The Object Oriented Programming (OOP) environment chosen to develop the model of Boukan dam reservoir was STELLA Software. The probability of flood occur-enceis also taken into account for a prediction of more accurate results.

Abstract
During the reign of
Nasser al-Din Shah in Iran, Iranian thinkers became increasingly concerned with the education system. They realized the correlation between reforms in various areas and raising the public’s awareness and discussed the necessity of public education. Consequently, they emphasized the reformation of elementary education as the basis of public education. These thinkers’ approach to elementary education and the relevance of their solutions for reforming elementary education to the realities of the time and the principles of elementary education is the issue that will be studied in the present research by applying a descriptive-analytical method and using the works of the thinkers of that era. This research seeks to answer the question whether the solutions offered by the thinkers of the Nasseri Era to reform elementary education and make it public bore any correspondence to the realities of the time and the principles of elementary education.
Results of this research indicate that although the thinkers of that era had a proper conception of the role of elementary education in public education, by insisting on solutions such as reforming the alphabet, they were distanced from the realities of the time and the principles of elementary education.

Abstract
Despite numerous kinds of cheeses they can be categorized into two main groups namely Traditional and Industrial. In Semnan province, north central of Iran, varieties of traditional dairy foods are produced among which Aroushe cheese is the most popular. In this study, Aroushe cheese is produced based on the traditional procedure and predefined condition and then its chemical, reological and sensory properties are characterized. This product is a processed cheese that is produced through simultaneous mixing and heating of the crude for a relatively long time (3-4 h). According to the presented results, the fat, protein and moisture of Aroushe cheese are 35%, 42% and 5%, respectively. Therefore, the shelf-life may be expected to be too much longer than other conventional cheese even in room condition. Based on the reology data of this study, G' is greater than G" at any given point, that means the elastic component dominates over the viscoelasticity which indicates a viscoelastic solid behavior. Finally, the micro-structure and color of Aroushe cheese are determined by SEM and Hanterlab.

Abstract
Abstract In this work, nonlinear electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting from cantilever beam under base harmonic oscillation is investigated and the effects of electromagnetic parameters on behavior of system is considered. For modeling assumed mode method is used, and beam is modeled in according to Timoshenko theory, which includes shear deformation and rotary inertia. In energy harvesting, the frequency response of the system is very important because it shows the best areas for energy harvesting and it is a good criterion for designing energy harvesters, hence a semi analytical method is used to find simply the amplitude of oscillation in terms of excitation frequency. In this method, at first equations of motion are solved with complex averaging method and obtained equations are solved with continuation method. For validation, comparison between results obtained from numerical and semi analytical method is given. Also comparison between linear and nonlinear system, and stability of periodic response and their bifurcations are given. In addition, in order to the effect of number of mode shapes and convergence of solution, frequency response of one, two, three modes and four modes cases are compared with together.

Abstract
Higher education attainment and labour force participation, especially among females, have been increasing for the past decades in Iran. If labour market is not flexible enough to adjust with the new trends, it may have negative effect on female education and participation rate. In this paper, we investigate the effects of higher education attainment on labour force participation, with an emphasis on female education in Iran using the data from the household budget surveys for the period 2001-2007. We use a logit model with cross section and pooled data and control for personal and household characteristics such as age, gender, marriage, and family income. Our findings show that participation rate is at maximum for middle-aged groups, and the married people are of more participation rates in labor market than current and former singles. The results also indicate that probability of labour force participation increases with the level of education especially for females and decreases with the family income.
