The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of social desirability and acceptance in predicting the academic self-efficacy of high school students. The research method was a descriptive correlational. The statistical population of the second-grade high school students in Tabriz 4th educational district during the academic year of 2016-2017 was 340 people based on Morgan's table and selected by a multistage random sampling method. The data were collected by McIlroy & Bunting self-efficacy questionnaires (2002), Krone-Marlow's social utility questionnaire (1964), Marlow and Crown social acceptance questionnaires (1960). Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis in SPSS.21 software. The results of this study showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between social desirability and academic self-efficacy and there is a positive and significant relationship between social acceptance and academic self-efficacy. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that the variables of utility and social acceptance could predict meaningful changes in criterion variables (academic self-efficacy) in students. Therefore, planning more studies is recommended for a better understanding of factors to promote desirability and admission and academic self-efficacy.

Sustainable agriculture depends on the use of eco-friendly technologies by farmers.This research was conducted to identify and evaluate farmers' intent to use pheromone traps for controlling rice pests in paddy farms of Simorgh County, Mazandaran Province. Methodologically, this research was carried out using a questionnaire-based survey. The statistical population of this research included 1,500 farmers in 29 villages of Simorgh County, in which 204 farmers were selected using Cochran formula. Samples were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. The formal and content validity of the questionnaire was based on experts' opinion and its reliability was calculated based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated between.70 and.80 for the scales of research variables. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 software. The results showed that 33.8% and 16.7% of the respondents intended to use pheromone traps relatively strongly and strongly, respectively. The regression path analysis method was used to identify the direct and indirect effects of independent variables on the final dependent variable of intention to use the pheromone traps. The results of the path analysis showed that subjective norms had the most direct effect on the dependent variable (intention to use) (r=0.947). In terms of total direct and indirect effects, the perceived barrier to use with a total impact of 1.373 was in the first place. According to beta coefficients, the variables of attitude, behavioral control, and subjective norms had total effects of 0.391, 0.690, and 1.076, respectively.

Environmental crises are one of the major challenges that the human community is facing. This study was conducted in response to the existence of environmental crises despite the establishment of related institutions and the comprehension of related concepts to sustainable development, and the evolution of the status of the environment and how human beings interact with it in Islamic thought. The purpose of this study, which has been accomplished using a descriptive method of documentary analysis, is to explain, analyze, and compare the three stages of logical, critical, and philosophical thinking of sustainable development. Criticism and analysis of existing perspectives indicate that, in addition to significant advances in the world and the establishment of international treaties, conventions and symposia on sustainability are not intended to preserve the environment and human survival and have a merely technical and material look, So far, it has not responded to the issues of development and sustainability. Therefore, achieving long-term sustainability horizons and their dimensions requires a deeper perspective and beyond purely technical issues and secular science. This study suggests philosophical thinking that is based on Islamic ethics and philosophy and emphasizes the study of environmental crises with the simultaneous help of reason, mysticism, ethics, Qur'an, and Shari'a.

Corporate social responsibility approaches are becoming increasingly widespread since environmental performance is a significant aspect of developing a firm socioemotional wealth, such as legitimacy, trustworthiness, and image. This study investigates the moderating role of managers’ emotional intelligence on the relationship between research and development costs and the social and environmental responsibility of manufacturing companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange. This research is applied and correlational. One hundred thirty-two companies were selected as sample companies that were active in the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2010-2020. The data is collected from the actual financial statements of the companies through the Kodal website, and it is compiled using Excel software. The method of testing the hypotheses is moderator regression (hierarchical), and Eviuse 12 software is used to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that research and development costs have a meaningful relationship with the social and environmental responsibility of manufacturing companies, and the emotional intelligence of managers has a moderating role in the relationship between research and development costs and the social and environmental responsibility of manufacturing companies. The results can help all stakeholders evaluate the level of attention of companies to research and development costs and corporate social and environmental responsibility.

A city is like a living creature that is possible to continue its life according to the preservation of existing works and values. Historical textures are an important part of cities as they are the essence of their beings and today’s lack of favorable attention to these parts has caused various problems. The materialist view of such historical works, especially in the holy city of Mashhad has destroyed the conceptual meaning of this metropolis to its residents and pilgrims. Attention to historical textures as sources of value and the main structure of historical cities is an important issue that is sometimes forgotten in the planning of comprehensive and new urban development. The main purpose of this research is to identify and preserve historical monuments using modern design methods in order to keep these elements efficient and educational. The target population in this research is the historical monuments located in the 4th section of the Samen project, around the holy shrine of Imam Reza. The research method in this paper is descriptive-analytic. For this purpose, Studies about the different methods of preservation and maintenance have been collected in the form of documents. Field studies have been done to recreate the new architectural space using existing works. Eventually, Infill design has been proposed to preserve historical valuable works in the mentioned area.

Urban landscapes are a platform for social interactions and leisure. These spaces are affected by high population, dense vegetation, unprincipled entrances, low visibility, lack of supervision, limited night light sources, and the possibility of hiding and creating a sense of confusion leading to the hidden occurrence of crime. Due to the low per capita green space in some areas of Ardebil, the city's famous parks are witnessing the presence of a large population. One of these parks in Ardebil is the Shurabil tourist entertainment complex, which is visited by many citizens during the holidays and at night, which makes it difficult to control and monitor the park. In this study, effective components (five main components: access, form and morphology, general perception, pleasure and visual quality, physical and urban management systems) in improving the safety of users in urban landscapes using the AHP model (expert opinion in the field of landscape) are obtained. The hierarchical analysis method was used to determine the weights of each of the obtained components (the obtained data were entered into EXPERT CHOICE software). Finally, fuzzy standardized base maps and weighted overlap maps were presented using ArcGIS software. According to the obtained results, improving security weighing 0.274 is the most preferred component of urban management systems, and then the components of form access and morphology, general perception-pleasure, and visual and physical quality with weights of 0.202, 0.198, and 0.197 were obtained respectively. Also, the sub-criterion of security devices weighing 0.122 was determined to be the most preferred case. (The higher the weight of the components, means the need for increased security in that component, and vice versa, the lower the weight means security is in a good state). Depending on the scale, location, design, and presence of social groups in the park, solutions were proposed to increase the social dimension of the park (meaning people would be free to move around at all times of the day with more freedom) or to reduce crime. The components used in this research can be an important step for landscape designers and urban green spaces in order to increase the level of security in urban parks and also to improve the safety of users in urban landscapes.

The purpose of this study is to validate the model of environmental ethics curriculum based on social constructivism in secondary school. This is an applied research with a descriptive survey method. The statistical population of the study is all secondary school teachers in Mazandaran province with 11024 people (5692 men and 5332 women). The research sample includes 360 secondary school teachers who were selected by multi-stage relative cluster sampling with Cochran's formula. As a data collection tool, a researcher-made social constructivism questionnaire with 23 items on a five-point Likert scale was used. Content validity was used to determine the validity of the questionnaires and composite reliability was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaires, which had a suitable and acceptable status. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data with SPSS and PLS software. The results showed that the objective components, content, teaching-learning activities, and evaluation are effective in explaining the model of environmental ethics curriculum based on social constructivism and the model had a good fit. Environmental ethics curriculum based on social constructivism allows students to be actively involved; they also focus on thinking and understanding rather than just memorizing and the model makes them perform better. Using this approach, basic learning activities can take place in the real-world context (nature) so students' constructivism is stimulated.

participation is an important factor in sustainable development. To this end, people should be informed about sustainable development. However, components of civil society, particularly, social capital, couldn't pave the way for knowledge growth about SD. In the study reported in this paper, the researcher scrutinized the relationship between awareness of SD and social capital in a real circumstance in Meshgin-Shahr. To approach the aims of this survey-based investigation, a researcher-made questionnaire was utilized to gather data from over 18 years old. 382 people were selected as the sample of the study, by applying the random cluster sampling method. The descriptive results of the investigation revealed that people's awareness of SD with an average of 4.1 (reference 1-6) is satisfactory and above the average. Also, there is a significant relationship between ″SD awareness″ and two-dimension of social capital, namely ″contact with people″ as well as ″reciprocal norms″. There is not a significant relationship between another dimension of social capital e.g. ″social trust″ and SD awareness. According to regression, 36 percent of the changes in the dependent variable relies on ″contact with people″ and ″reciprocal norms″. To improve the awareness of SD the knowledge about it should be transmitted between people and in their networks. Moreover, an increase in ″social reliance″ is a prerequisite in knowledge growth about SD.

The main issue presented in this article, which is going to review the rights to a healthy environment and the prohibition of air pollution, in particular dust, now has become an issue that needs national solidity and regional interactions for a solution; and to enable the decrease of the pollution for the affected countries as well. Dust is a phenomenon that is the result of an environmental crisis. The absence of international rules, as well as uncertainty in states’ obligations toward each other, have complicated this crisis on the regional and international levels. The main goal of this article is first, recognizing the Customary and general principles that are existing in Iranian laws to arrange regional programs to decrease and diminish the dust phenomenon. Second, the article intends to raise sensitivity in people toward the critical and dangerous conditions of environmental pollutions. Third, it is going to lay legal and executive grounds to increase the local institutions and international organizations’ responsibilities for such issues. However, the main question in this article, with descriptive-analytical approach, is: in the absence of binding and identified international and regional obligations regarding dust, in what ways affected governments could protect the right to a healthy environment for their citizens? Based on this question, one can conclude that even though the affected governments do not maintain reciprocating conventions, the international customary law and local legal general principles of those countries conform to the governments’ obligation; and suggest that they take action against any harm, in particular, the environmental irreparable harm to their citizens.

One of the rules of jurisprudence that is cited throughout jurisprudence and can be used in many economic and social issues, including the environment, is the rule of prohibition of detriment. This rule in the Islamic law; the basic principle is to protect the others from harm to others and to compensate for them, is a strong basis for the enactment of the law. the inclusion of this rule on negative affairs will, in addition to deterring this principle, in environmental degradation, has a constructive role in management of environmental crises. Of course, in order to achieve development, man has not properly fulfilled his responsibility for protecting nature and ignores the right of future generations with unceasing exploitation, has caused damage to nature and extensive changes in the ecosystem and caused the environmental crisis. Therefore, it is possible to manage this crisis by the rule of prohibition of detriment and accepting its positive role, to compensate for the damage caused by the invasion of environmental capital. Because damaging to the most important natural of human capital should not be ignored as private and material spiritual capital. Therefore, due to existing vacuum, non-deterrence of laws in the face of environmental degradation. This paper describes the Role of the rule of prohibition of detriment in the management of the environmental crisis and the necessity of its acceptance in proving the relevant laws and regulations in Islamic law in a descriptive and analytical way.

This research conducted with the overall object of collecting the Strategies to Stabilize the Livelihood of Small-Scale Farmers in Drought Conditions in Kurdistan Province. Based on the results of the research, the most important strengths and weaknesses of stabilizing livelihood in drought conditions were "good infrastructure, diversification of production and development of complementary and non-farm activities in the province" and "reduction of economic and productive power of agricultural families due to repeated drought" in order. Also, the most paramount opportunities and threats in this field were "development and promotion of drought insurance in the country (cattle, pasture, and crops)" and"lack of organizational structure to monitor the effects of climate change on rural livelihoods." After determining appropriate strategies using quantitative matrix management (QSPM) the attractiveness of each of the strategies identified that the most important strategies were"diversification of sources of livelihood and non-farm activities associated with the greenhouse farming using the right infrastructure in the province" and"collecting the proper plans of capacity-creating in agricultural communities to cope with risks through clustering of rural knowledge and development of the infrastructure needed to maintain livelihood". According to results the establishment of strategic space in Agricultural Organization was the strategy shift, withdrawal or reduction, development, and diversification, in order. Moreover, decision tree analysis showed that two variables, stability, and vulnerability could make agricultural strategies separated from each other with a prediction accuracy of 69.7%.

Investigating the determinant of environmental Behaviour is an important gateway for controlling the environmental impact of a community, city, residential municipality or settlement. Environmental Behaviour is under the influence of several humanistic and situational factors and its study needs precise evaluation of motivations, Behaviour as well as different social and personal factors. In this paper, through the use of field study; survey and in-depth interviews as well as analyzing data from interviews and observations using Grounded Theory; efforts were made to investigate the determinants of environmental Behaviour in a sample of the Iranian society. A survey was conducted with a focus on the experiences of participants in the context of a residential setting. The findings of this study are presented using the quadripartite paradigm of Stern, which showed that attitude factors had the vastest variation of determinants influencing environmental Behaviour. Accordingly, anthropocentric values are the most influencing factors. The final findings of this research (Central Category), called "Valued Based Vogue", showed that routines as commonly used Behaviours, along with proven values, have a significant effect on the environmental Behaviour of the population under study. Routines are the usual form of Behaviour that is supported and strengthened by values and have the potential of penetrating most Behavioural settings, including the residential setting.

Hospitals produce a wide range of waste. Office waste and kitchen waste are considered household waste, while operating room waste is highly contaminated and considered hazardous waste. In other words, about 75 to 90 percent of the waste generated in hospitals is quasi-domestic and 10 to 25 percent of waste generated in hospitals is hazardous. This study aimed to identify the effective factors in the management of special medical waste to analyze these factors and determine the most effective ones to improve the quality of management of such wastes. Evaluations based on Fuzzy Delphi technique, and extracting information from the questionnaires given to a statistical population of 35 experts in the field of waste management showed a coefficient of 0.882 using Cronbach's alpha formula, gathered from 45 effective indexes identified. Experts had full consensus on the impact of 12 main indexes to be used to model the management of such waste.
