In the last decade, in order to organize the country's educational system in accordance with the needs and national considerations of the country, two important policy documents, entitled the Comprehensive Scientific Map of the Country (CSMC) and the Document of Fundamental Evolution of Education (DFEE), have been drawn up, approved, and forwarded for enforcement. <br />The present paper aims at examining the relationship between these two policy documents in the field of education, the ratio between them, and how they can help make the country's educational policies and system more effective. <br />To achieve this purpose, a qualitative method was used and the collected data were analyzed on the basis of the Grounded Theory Approach (GTA). <br />The findings of the study show that creating knowledge-based society and developing the country are the central concerns of the Comprehensive Scientific Map of the Country and the Fundamental Document of Education Evolution, respectively. <br />These results also show that there is a similar relationship between these two documents in creating entrepreneurship as a common consequence, but the educational and ideological aspect of the Document of Fundamental Evolution of Education overweighs its entrepreneurial aspect while it is just opposite in the Comprehensive Scientific Map.

Communications between the Shia and Sunni Muslims can be studied in the field of intercultural communication due to the differences between these two groups in various fields, including culture. The theory of Anxiety/Uncertainty Management (AUM) in effective communication is one of the new theories of intercultural communication aims at managing the anxiety and uncertainty in our interaction with a stranger (other) and keeping it at a desirable level - somewhere between the maximum and minimum threshold – so that a kind of effective communication with ‘other’ can be established. Through investigating the Shiite narration sources and using the thematic analysis method in the framework of Anxiety/Uncertainty Management (AUM) theory of effective communication, this study has tried to examine the speech and conduct of the infallibles (Peace Be Upon Them) in their interactions with Sunnis in order to achieve a paradigm for the enhancement of the convergence and rapprochement between Shiites and Sunnis and reduction of the differences. As a result of the analysis of the collected narrations, 38 initial themes, 16 organizing themes, and five inclusive themes were identified. The identified inclusive themes, accordingly considered as the main pivots of anxiety management / uncertainty in intercultural communication with Sunnis, are: empathy with Sunnis, modesty of speech and avoiding any derogatory language and any insult towards their holy things, good companionship with them, attending their religious ceremonies, and avoiding any arrogance towards the Sunnis and avoiding acquitting them.

The realization of the motto of 1399 crucially depends on the formation of a culture that can create and foster the core values which support the leap of production. Failure to realize such values has led to the failure in creating this culture. Therefore, this study concerns the effective realization of the culture of production leap. Obviously, creating the culture of production leap requires identifying the influential factors in this regard. Accordingly, this study mainly aims at identifying and prioritizing the factors affecting the formation of production leap culture. <br />In terms of purpose, this study is applied while in terms of data collection it is in the field of descriptive survey studies. The factors affecting the formation of the culture of production leap were identified through semi-structured interviews with 14 university professors and some managers of the Center for Strategic Evaluation and Supervision of the Implementation of the General Policies of the System according to the principle of Theoretical Adequacy. Data coding though qualitative content analysis using Atlas ti software led to the identification of 12 main categories. In the next step, the triangular fuzzy method was used to prioritize these factors. <br />The statistical population in quantitative part consisted of all the senior managers of some food industry companies from which 45 managers were selected as the research sample. The result of the analysis of the questionnaires using the triangular fuzzy method showed that religious teachings, consumption culture, human capital, work culture, entrepreneurial culture, collectivism, think tanks, purposeful leadership, productivity culture, self-reliance, self-confidence, and competition orientation were the most influential factors in formation of the culture of production leap. <br />According to the findings, using in-service training courses for their employees, the managers of the studied food industry units can achieve core values such as religious teachings related to their business, avoiding extravagancies, and developing the necessary platform for promoting the quantity and quality of their products.

Social security as a part of public services delivered by governments to their citizens is one of the main factors contributing to the sustainable national security in different political regimes. Sustainability of social security depends on sound and well-functioning of the social security funds as the vital financial resources of social security. <br />Using the descriptive-analytical method and documents review, this study aims at finding appropriate responses to these crucial questions: (1) what threats to national security would arise from the crisis in social security funds in Iran, and (2) what measures should be adopted to confront them? <br />Our findings show that the crisis in retirement funds leads to some serious threats to the national security such as public disturbances, social gap and bipolarity in the society, erosion of the strong sense of national solidarity among the people, reduction of acceptability and prestige of the government, decline of the retirees' purchase power, a sense of deprivation and poverty in the society, etc. It can be concluded from the findings that some significant reforms in parametrical, systemic, and structural levels would be quite necessary to confront these multiple threats.

This study mainly aimed at zoning and explaining the sustainable socio-human development of rural areas of Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province with TOPSIS model. First, the theoretical foundations of social and human sustainability and its study records were studied, and after validation, they were reviewed by ome experts in the rural districts all over the province. TOPSIS model was adopted as an appropriate research method through which a stratified random sampling method was used to draw a sample from the dwellers of 130 villages of 16 rural districts of 6 counties of Chaharmahal Bakhtiari province. 18 socio-human indicators in five dimensions namely population dynamics, education and information management, security and social satisfaction, cooperation and social capital, and health were examined. Among these indicators, education and information management had the highest rank and social security and satisfaction stood in the lowest position. In rural zoning and ranking, Bazaft rural district with a value of 0.795 has the best status of sustainable rural social development, followed by two other villages namely Felard and Poshtkuh with final values of 0.728 and 0.696 respectively, and with more favorable statuses than other rural areas in terms of sustainable social – human development. Dinaran village with a weight value of 0.043, after two other villages namely Dorahan and Doab, with final values of 0.212 and 0.215 respectively, were the weakest villages in terms of sustainable rural social development.

Reading in the Networking Society of the 21st Century is no longer limited to reading printed sources. The scope of reading has been expanded to the internet sources that have changed the audience’s culture and reading habits. In this regard, this study aimed at investigating the effects of using social networks on reading habits of the students of the junior high schools in Ahvaz. In terms of purpose and type, this research is an applied causal-comparative (retrospective) one. The statistical population of this study consisted of 7113 students of both boys’ and girls’ junior high schools in Ahvaz. Using Cochran formula, the sample size was determined and from 364 questionnaires sent to all the students of the sample, 260 questionnaires were completed and sent back. Our data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire and the collected data were analyzed through SPSS. According to the findings, 54.2% of the high school students responding the questionnaires were not dependent on social networks. The results of the data analysis showed that, in terms of the habit of reading textbooks, there was a significant difference between the two groups of students, those dependent on the social networks and the independent ones, in favor of the latter. The results also showed that students were less willing to read such contents as e-books, e-journals, and novels and stories uploaded to the social networks. In contrast, they were more willing to watch the uploaded films while most students preferred listening to the music and chatting with their friends through different social networks. <br />It can be concluded from this study that dependence on social networks is not useful for junior high school students whose main occupation is studying and reading; on the contrary, it may cause more challenges in their reading. Additionally, as the social networks are dramatically expanding and affecting different aspects of human life, it is suggested that these networks be properly programmed so that the students who are using these technological tools can use them not only for communicating with their friends but also for accumulating vital information which is useful for both the students and the society. The value of the present study is the attempt made to compare and contrast the reading habits of the two groups of the students in terms of their dependence and independence on social networks. The results showed that the study status of those students who were not present in social networks was better than those who were. Also, the students who are present in these networks are mostly engaged in unscientific activities which negatively affect their academic performance; therefore, it is recommended that some necessary measures be taken to minimize this damage.
