This study aimed to develop a comprehensive model of quality of work life based on organizational justice, organizational optimism, and organizational resilience among employees of the Education Departments in Tehran.

The research employed a mixed-method (qualitative-quantitative) approach. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 experts in management and sociology, and the initial data were collected and analyzed. Following this, a questionnaire was designed based on the qualitative findings and distributed among 450 employees of the Education Departments in Tehran. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and the AMOS and SPSS software.

The findings revealed that all three variables—organizational justice, organizational optimism, and organizational resilience—are significantly related to the quality of work life. Organizational justice was identified as the strongest predictor of quality of work life, while organizational optimism and organizational resilience also had direct and indirect impacts on improving quality of work life. Additionally, organizational justice played a mediating role in the relationship between organizational optimism and resilience with the quality of work life.

The results of this study indicate that attention to organizational justice, organizational optimism, and organizational resilience can lead to an improvement in the quality of work life for employees in educational organizations. It is recommended that managers strengthen these variables to create a supportive and positive work environment, thereby enhancing employee satisfaction and commitment.

Organizations need a strategic intelligence strategy to respond appropriately to appropriate environmental changes. The present article aims to design a qualitative model of strategic intelligence model for managers of Islamic Azad University of Tehran.

The research method is qualitative and based on data theorizing of the foundation. Semi-structured interview method was used to collect data. Data analysis was performed by Strauss and Corbin (1998). The statistical population of the study included 12 managers and experts of the Islamic Azad University of Tehran who were selected by purposive sampling.

In data analysis using open coding technique, 111 basic concepts were identified, which were classified into 23 sub-categories, and in the axial coding stage, around 6 main categories were categorized.

In the form of paradigm model, causal conditions (foresight, realism, competitiveness and systems thinking), contextual conditions (attention to managers 'abilities, meeting managers' needs, providing facilities, improving organizational communication), intervening conditions (Organizational factors, personality factors, motivational factors), pivotal phenomenon (knowledge management), strategies (empowerment of managers, emphasis on participatory management, monitoring and evaluation, organizational health) and consequences (improvement and growth of work performance, risk-taking, authoritarianism) identification Were. At the end, suggestions such as reforming the structure of education and research in the university in order to institutionalize the components and indicators of the strategic intelligence model, creating fit and homogeneity between organizational structure, processes, strategy, staff, faculty, managers and university culture are presented. .

In recent decades, lipids and their related compounds in the plasma of healthy individuals and patients were considered and proposed ad risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to review the effect of 15 days’ cinnamon supplementation on lipid profile in response to an aerobic exercise session.

In this quasi- experimental study 24 healthy male were selected and divided into three equal groups (1g cinnamon, 1.5 g cinnamon, and placebo) according to aerobic power. The subjects were taking cinnamon capsules for 15 days. Blood sampling was taken from subjects before and immediately after 30 minutes of running with an intensity of 55 to 65 percent of maximum heart rate on the treadmill. For statistical analysis of data, dependent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s post- hoc tests were used (P≤0.05).

Aerobic exercise significantly increased HDL and decreased LDL, VLDL, TG, and Cho (P≤ 0.05), 15 days cinnamon supplementation had a significant effect on the increase of HDL and decrease of LDL, TG, and Cho in response to one session of aerobic exercise (P≤ 0.05, though, had no significant effect on VLDL (P≥ 0.05).

It seems that to improve the response of lipid profile to one session aerobic exercise, 15 days’ cinnamon supplementation can be used.

 Organizational trust refers to the positive expectations that individuals have about the intentions and behaviors of various members of an organization based on their organizational roles, relationships, experiences, and mutual dependence.

The aim of this study was to provide a model of entrepreneurship-based curriculum in secondary school.

The present study was applied in terms of purpose and integrated (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of implementation method. The research population in the qualitative section included experts in the field of entrepreneurship in Alborz province in the academic year 2020-2021, in which 14 people were selected based on theoretical saturation method and purposive sampling. The statistical population of the quantitative section also included all secondary school teachers of Alborz planning and entrepreneurship course in the academic year 2020-21 (266 people). The sample size was determined based on Morgan and Georgian table and 154 people were selected by simple random sampling method. The research tool in the qualitative part was semi-structured interviews and in the quantitative part was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the findings of the qualitative part. To validate the qualitative data, a recoding strategy and reliability were obtained with a coding agreement coefficient of 0.86. For quantitative findings, face validity and reliability were obtained by Cronbach's alpha method of 0.82. For data analysis, in the qualitative part, the content analysis method was used with Maxquda18 software and in the quantitative part with exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling with Smart Pls3 software.

The findings of the qualitative section showed that there are 56 sub-themes and 5 main themes (entrepreneurial knowledge, entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurial skills and entrepreneurial ability) for the entrepreneurship curriculum. The results of exploratory factor analysis also showed that the first factor, ie the creation of entrepreneurial knowledge explains 6.54 of the total variance, the second factor (entrepreneurial attitude) 7.65%, the third factor (entrepreneurial skills) 12.76% and the fourth factor (entrepreneurial ability) 14.65% explained the total variance of entrepreneurship. The results of structural equation modeling also showed that all identified factors have a significant effect. The GOF criterion also showed that the overall fit of the model was at a desirable level.

It can be concluded that a good curriculum should pay attention to the factors of knowledge, skills, attitudes and abilities, and curriculum planners should pay more attention to "creating entrepreneurial ability" and "entrepreneurial skills" in designing the entrepreneurship textbook.

This research was developmental in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of data type. Data collection and data were analyzed by transcribing the text of the interviews obtained through the meta-combination and Delphi method.

The sampling method in this population was snowball sampling. From the statistical population, 15 experts were selected by snowball sampling. The data collection method was done through library studies (English and Persian books and articles, dissertations, websites as well as a researcher-made questionnaire). Content validity was analyzed using expert opinions and to determine the reliability of the measurement tool of the present study, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used. The meta-combined method was used to analyze the data in the present study. The Delphi technique was also used to reach consensus in group decisions.

This study aims to investigate how artificial intelligence (AI) influences the development of demand forecasting systems in retail businesses, identifying the benefits, challenges, and opportunities presented by AI technologies.
