It does not take much time to use the term "confession" in Iran. Less than five decades, the minds of our scholars and planners have become familiar with this concept. Adjustment is the regulation of the relationship between man and space, and essentially involves human activities in space. The purpose of regulating this relationship is to use a rational utilization of all facilities in order to improve the material and spiritual condition of society over time.  In this regard, the purpose of this study is to study the distribution of the border areas of the Oman Sea from Bandar Abbas to the Persian Gulf. Using the SWOT model, it looks at the strengths of the Bandar Abbas to the Goethe Bay, and then proposes proposals to address the problems and deficiencies that are tailored to the conditions in which these border regions are located. It is expected that the results of this study will lead policy makers and planners to the optimal development of the border areas of the Oman Sea. Unfortunately, despite the sensitivity and importance of the issue, in the history of land planning, environmental and defense considerations have been marginalized and have not been seriously addressed. Which could result in security consequences and the collapse of territorial unity and territorial integrity in various dimensions and threaten the power and national authority.
In this regard, based on the issue and the purpose of the research, the following question has been asked: 1.What are the factors that determine the distribution of the border areas of the Oman Sea from Bandar Abbas to the port of Goater? In line with the research question, the proposed hypothesis included: 1- The distribution of the border areas of the Oman Sea from Bandar Abbas to the port of Goater depends on the political and security factors of the border regions.

The optimal cropping pattern for Sistan water resources management was determined through a goal programming technique within the GAMS programming environment. Results showed that the optimum cultivation area and net profit of the agricultural sector in the Sistan region could increase up to 18.1 and 39.8%, respectively, compared to the current status. An increase in the farm irrigation efficiency from the current 35 to 55% would increase the net profit of the agricultural sector by 49.7% despite 6.4% reduction in water consumption. At the same time, 20% increase in the efficiency of water delivery system to farmlands would lead to 8.2 and 17.2% increases in the cultivation area and net profit, respectively. The results of combining these two management scenarios indicated that farming net profit would increase by 64.3%, while total water consumption in agricultural sector would decrease by 2.3%. Under wet condition, cultivated area and net profit would respectively increase about 32 and 44%. However, upon drought years, the cultivated area and net profit would experience 86.9 and 87.3% loss, respectively.

In languages, which have free word-order property, different constituents of a sentence might be permuted due to scrambling. Miyagawa (2001) argues that in Azari Turkish, scrambling gets non-subject constituents to move to TP specifier while the subject remains in-situ in the specifier of vP. In the present study, resorting to the agreement operation in the probe-goal model of minimalism program and presenting examples, we attempt to propose that contrary to Miyagawa's argumentations, the constituent in vP specifier has to move to TP specifier to meet the double role agreement requirement (T[-interpretable] feature checking and receiving nominative case). In Azari-Turkish, because of scrambling, non-subject constituents like object in the process of agreement during syntactic derivation moves to the position preceding TP, which is labeled as focus position simply because TP specifier has already been filled by the subject. Then in Azari-Turkish, scrambling has to be assumed as topicalization, which makes non-subject constituents move to the focus position preceding TP specifier.

The optimal allocation of the Chahnimeh water resources among different sectors, viz. domestic, agricultural and environmental consumptions, was determined using the goal programming method in GAMS, based on the present condition in the area. Results showed an increase of 15.4, 44.5 and 230% in allocation of water to domestic, agriculture and environment sectors, respectively, in this method as compared to the present allocation. Besides, implementation of the second water transferring line to Zahedan city would resultin a 66% increase in the water transferring rate to this city without any change in water supply for domestic sector in Zabol city and the surrounding villages. The scenario of 20% reduction in water per capita consumption led to about 5.9 million cubic meters saving in water supply from Chahnimeh reservoirs to the domestic sector. According to the projected population growth for 2025 in the study area, water consumption in domestic sector will increase by 15.9%. Results showed that the goal programming can be applied as a useful tool to analyze the effect of different scenarios on water demand and supply management and, hence, to allocate water for different sectors in a most appropriate way.

Strategy maps show value creation path in any organizations which includes strategic objectives of organization. Strategic objectives can provide a focus on organization’s resources based on balanced scorecard. While organizations developing their strategy map, facing with different objectives and relationships between them, it is necessary to use a practical approach to explain the relationship between strategic objectives. This paper aims to provide a hybrid approach for identifying causal relationships between strategic objectives for drawing a strategic map, So that with minimum number of relationships, the maximum impact among the strategic objectives is clarified in the map. In this regard, the importance of all possible relationships is determined by fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and then strategic map was drawn by goal programming with considering to objectives of minimizing the number of relationships and maximizing total importance of the selected relationships. The FAHP results show “supporting demand-oriented researches”, “Strengthen inter-agency cooperation” and “Supporting strategic science and technology” objectives respectively have been the most important in the customer, processes and learning and growth levels of strategic map. Following by goal programming with focus on maximum reach of strategic objectives according to their weights, the minimum connections (14 relationships from 26 relationships) were selected to draw the strategic map. The systematic approach presented in this paper could be the basis of developing the strategic map for all organizations.

design of two phrase mathematical model for green supply chain Green supply chain has attracted considerable attention of the governments and organizations over the past decades. The objective of this research is to suggest an integrated approach for green supply chain management including two stages. In the first stage, a TOPSIS-Fuzzy approach was presented to consider uncertainty in human’s judgment. In the second stage, we applied a robust Multi Objective Mixed-Integer linear Programming model to design the green supply chain network. Although many researches have been conducted on green supply chain management, most of them have not given enough importance to integrate decision making in supply chain. Moreover, most of former researches assume that supply chain is a balanced system. Also very few studies have considered carbon emission and the related issues in supplier evaluation which cause on overall warming and pollution of the planet. The model was designed for an active company in glass industry. results have revealed that the model is capable of controlling the network uncertainties.

Abstract
Entertainment is one of the most well-known purposes of a story. In this article, it will be shown that in addition to entertainment, stories played an important role in the political and social goals and conditions of the Safavid era. To this end, the proverbial tales of the Safavid era have been content analyzed. The first major goal in the story of this period is to "propagate the ideological foundations"; the critics of this period aim to promote religious discourse among the masses by propagating the prevailing political ideology. Another purpose of the stories is related to the "political and social" issues in two areas: "Naql, in the role of stabilizing / shaping Iranian identity" and "Naql, in the role of socio-political preacher". It could also be mentioned that the stories have "psychoanalytic" themes, full of fantasies to raise people's health through the imagination or forgetfulness. Another aim of the proverbial tale of the Safavid era is "fun and entertainment." Based on the statistics extracted from the stories, it is revealed which of the purposes of the story in this period were more important than the other goals and why.  

Keywords: Prose story; Safavid period; political-social goals of a story.
Theoretical background of research
Zolfaghari, Bagheri, and Haidarpour in their study "Sociological Aspects of the Story of Alexander the Great" (Literature of Research, 2013) addressed some of the anthropological aspects of Alexander the Great's narrative, including allegory, insult, social life and etiquette.
Afshar, in the introduction to the book Alam Araye Shah Tahmasb, in the preface, briefly presents a statement about the political goals of the stories of the Safavid era (p. 8); he writes:
In the Safavid period, in order to show the political and governmental influence, and promote the activities of the army and successive struggles to protect the rights, and borders and of the country, there were writers and narrators who explained events to the people in their storytelling style. To cultivate.
 
Although Afshar's statement is about stories such as "Alamaras" and other historical texts, it is a generalizable statement that dates back to the Safavid era.
Research questions
1. Did the story in the Safavid era, in addition to entertainment, have any other content?
2. Why did the story take on socio-political content in the Safavid era?
3. Among the various purposes of narrating the story, what was the most important content of the story in the Safavid era?
Research hypotheses
1. The story in the Safavid era, in addition to entertainment, which is the most well-known purpose of the story, has other goals.
2. During this period, the story became a medium for the government's religious and political propaganda among the people, due to its popularity among the masses and the establishment of a coffee shop.
3. The most important content of the narrators' stories in this period was political and social issues.
The main topic of research
However, at the beginning of the Safavid era, the story of sanctions was imposed (see. Hamvi, 2007, 143-140). But when the kings and politicians of the Safavid era saw the popularity of the story among the people, they decided to use the story as a tool to transfer the religious system to the public, and in return, define a court order for narrators and storytellers.
The four main contents of the prose stories of the Safavid era
1. Religious propaganda
1.1. Direct and indirect references to the Shi'ite religion
The purpose of referring to the Shi'ite religion in the stories of this period is, in fact, parts of the story that the narrator / storyteller refers to in a clear or unambiguous way. These allusions are: the help the hero of the story by Imam Ali; A reference to one of the Shi'ite beliefs such as the savior of the resurrection day, taking one of the Shi'ite Imams as the protagonist.
1.2. Shi'iee truth
In most of the stories of this period, Shi'ism is considered as the religion of Islam; Islam at this historical juncture includes only a part of Islam, and that is the Sh'ite religion, and it seems that the only true religion of Islam is Shi'ism; therefore, wherever an individual or group acknowledges the true nature of Islam, they mean the Shi'ite religion.
1.3. Changing the religion of the opposition to the religion of Shi'ism
The main mission of most storytellers in the Safavid era is to convert non-Muslims [non-Shi'ite] to Islam. For example, in Eskandarname, Alexander is portrayed as a Muslim who seeks to convert non-Muslims into Shi'tes.
2. Political and social
2.1 The narrator in the role of a socio-political preacher
In this type of preaching and social critique, the narrator raises problems such as addiction, laziness, pessimism, and lack of religiosity, and tries to improve them.
3. Psychotherapy
The simple language and fascinating world of the story solves the narrative, and this, in turn, causes the audience's worldly connections to be cut off and make for him/her an entry into the colorful world of the story. This individual caliphate has psychological benefits from three aspects; The first is to eliminate personality defects. When the audience hears the story, they identify with one of the people and try to compensate for their weaknesses. The second benefit of this storyline is the unimaginable fantasy and departure from the real world, which has been one of the joys brought to the audience. The third benefit is the elimination of phobias.
4. Fun
In addition to the customary motives of the ruling power to the narrators in this period, storytellers did not neglect the inherent purpose of the story, which was to entertain the audience; because the mere expression of customized desires in the story, of course, caused the audience to be indifferent to the pursuit of the story.

Each of the performance assessment models is an instrument that after implementing it can give the decision makers different information. So it is inevitable to use these models to answer the questions and problems that has been arizen in decision makers’ mind. Therefore, in this article we want to explain the mathematic model of the suitable Data Envelopment Analysis, grading efficiency of instruction groups, the weak and strength points of each group and the situation of optimum use of accessible sources in the human sienceses faculty from the view point of DEA. Since the different models of DEA have been developed during last years to be used in different areas, one of the most important steps before evaluating surveyed units is choosing a model or models suitable with them. This article presents a collection of consecutive steps, in a conceptual framework in order to choose correctly a performance evaluation model. These stages should be performed one after the other, otherwise the credits of evaluation model can scrafeh due to the natural weak nesses of DEA method.

Nutritive value of Rumen Epithelial Scraping (REP) was assessed using in sacco and in vivo procedures. Concentrates were so formulated that 0% (A), 35% (B), 70% (C), and 100% (D) of Soybean Meal (SBM), were replaced (weight for weight) with REP. In a completely randomized design, 16 West African Dwarf (WAD) goats were randomly allocated to the experimental diets to assess feed intake and digestibility. In a second trial, the concentrates, SBM and the REP were degraded in the rumen of fistulated goats to determine Dry Matter (DM) and Crude Protein (CP) degradability. No significant difference (P< 0.05) was observed in DM and CP consumption of goats on the various dietary treatments. The variation observed for digestible DM and CP among diets were significant (P< 0.05). The highest value of digestibility coefficients of DM and CP were observed in diet B (77.72% and 79.2% respectively). There were significant differences observed (P< 0.05) in the DM and CP degradation characteristics of the different samples incubated in the rumen of goats. Rumen epithelial waste contained more soluble fractions (30.13% DM and 71.04% CP) than soybean meal (29.82% DM and 18.6% CP), and it was shown that increasing REP in the concentrate increases the soluble DM and CP (P< 0.05). The results indicated that REP is nutritive and can replace SBM at reasonable levels in goat production enterprise.

In both the quality improvement and the design of a product, primarily the engineering characteristics affecting product performance are identified and improved to optimize customer needs (CNs). Especially, the limited resources, increased market competition and product complexity require a customer-driven quality management and product development system to achieve higher customer satisfaction. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and its House of Quality (HOQ) are used as powerful tools for improving product design and quality, and procuring a customer-driven quality system. In this study, an integrated framework based on fuzzy-QFD and a goal programming model was proposed to determine the technical requirements (TRs) to be considered in designing a product. The coefficients of the mathematical model were obtained from a fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) approach. Furthermore, the proposed analytic procedure should take into account the multi-objective nature of the problem, and thus, incorporate other goals such as cost, extendibility, technological feasibility and competitiveness of TRs. Finally, the model, a zero–one goal programming methodology, includes the important levels of TRs deriven using the fuzzy ANP, cost budget, feasibility level, extendibility level , and competitiveness level as system constraints to determine the TRs to be considered in designing the product. An application for YEKTA washing machine powder in PAKNAM Company (Tehran, Iran) producing detergent products was presented to illustrate the proposed framework.

The change in the concept of social development over the last few decades, from the physical aspects to human dimensions has increased women’s participation in socio-economic activities and enhancement of their capabilities has been regarded as key strategies in sustainable development. The present study attempts to achieve the following objective: Investigation of the impacts of NGO’s activities in enhancing women’s socioeconomic participation in the management of watersheds. This paper has presented the results through employing parts of the phases, methodologies, and techniques of participation Rural Appraisal(PRA) in sample villages located in Hableh Roud watershed in the Garmsar plain. Among the achievements of the project is the actualization of local community participation including women’s participation in decision-making on sustainable development, improvement of natural resource management through integration of modern and traditional technologies, increasing local community income sources through production of pharmaceutical plants, planting seedlings, strengthening traditional women’s organizations, improvement of exploitation methods and conservation of soil and water resources. The most important result obtained from the present study is the finding that participatory activities are cultural and social issues. As such, work must continue until participation becomes institutionalized in the target community. The milestone and deliverable showing success in this endeavor will be gradual but steady changes observed in the behavior of the rural communities with reference social and economic problems reflecting their self-reliance and self-confidence. Continuity and sustainability of the projects are also determined by direct involvement and participation of local communities, especially women, in all phases of project implementation from concept development to implementation, monitoring, and assessment.

Classification of statistical elements is one of the challenging areas in management science. This subject has changed to an interesting research areas. Although methods of cluster analysis and discriminant analysis are used as common methods in the classification, there is a doubt about their application due to high statistical errors of the methods. In this paper, it is tried to combine analysis approach of statistical discrimination and OR technique and a new method titled goal discriminant analysis is developed. Four discriminant analysis methods titled FLDF, FG, GP1 and GP2 are applied in this paper. In order to evaluate its efficiency in management science area, the fourfold technique has been employed in 5 managerial case studies. The results show that the FLDF method, which is a discriminant analysis method, is more efficient than other methods. Moreover, goal discriminant methods have more efficiency in management classification with over two groups.
