The present study aims towards investigating the conceptual motivation underlying the creation and understanding of Persian Bahuvrihi compounds. It is also trying to specify the conceptual types of these compounds according to the metonymical and metaphorical patterns of operation and interaction. In so doing, we rely on the model proposed by Ruiz de Mendoza and Diez Velasco (2002) which accounts for basic types of metonymy and different patterns of conceptual interaction. As for data, we approach a total of 60 Persian non-verbal behuvrihi compounds. The analysis reveals that in terms of the underlying conceptual pattern, Persian bahuvrihi compounds fall into three main groups: 1) compounds resulting from the operation of a single conceptual metonymy (source-in-target), 2) compounds resulting from metonymic interaction, and 3) compounds resulting from the interaction of metaphor and metonymy. In the meantime, given that that the conceptualization of bahuvrihi compounds resulting from metonymic interaction may activate two, three, or more consecutive conceptual metonymies, this group of bahuvrihi compounds includes subpatterns in terms of the number and type of the operative metonymies. Moreover, compounds that represent the conceptual interaction of metaphor and metonymy are classified into two subgroups depending on whether or not the source and target domain of the underlying metaphor are metonymic. These compounds exemplify the ones that result from the metonymic mapping of the target domain of the metaphor and those resulting from the metonymic mapping of both the source and target domains of the metaphor. The results of the research implicitly indicate that the process of the formation of bahuvrihi compounds in Persian is not random, but follows systematic and specific conceptual patterns.

Depression is one of the most significant and prevalent mental health disorders in today’s world. Early detection of depression is critical, and this study aims to identify depression in individuals using information derived from social media. The use of social media for various purposes has grown in recent years, as these platforms provide valuable insights into both individuals and society. Social media can be effectively utilized to detect depression. Researchers have attempted to identify depression using various types of data, such as images, text, and audio. Most studies have focused on using only one type of data, such as text or images, for detection. While these methods have achieved notable results, they have limitations in accuracy that can be addressed by incorporating new methods and integrating multiple data modalities into the model. In this study, we propose a multimodal model that analyzes text and images together to detect depression. Compared to similar models, our approach achieves an approximate 5% improvement in accuracy, reaching 89.87%, while utilizing significantly less of the original dataset.

The present article explores the manifestations and interactions of Postmodern discourse in MohammadReza Safdari’s “The Two Quails.” It endeavours to realise how a text can challenge the rules of representation and suggest new horizons of representation. Adopting a qualitative approach, informed by Jean-François Lyotard’s conceptualisation of the event, the postmodern sublime, and the issue of identity, the present study investigates “The Two Quails.” The results of this study show that by distorting the narrative line, Safdari creates a sense of suspension, which challenges the reader’s expectations. By disobeying the rules and regulations of discourse and modern story-telling, Safdari showcases new methods of representation. His narrative explores a chaotic world in which any meaningful systematic unity is untenable and flexible. This uncertainty is echoed by the content and the form as well.

One of the important issues and concerns in agile enterprise architecture is the documenting and modeling of requirements and artifacts. Architectural models and documents should be produced and updated as necessary and while meeting the requirements and concerns of the stakeholders, they should be presented in the shortest time and at the lowest cost. On the other hand, methods and tools should be used that are applicable and simple, and while using agile practices and modeling standards, have the necessary comprehensiveness. Researches has been done regarding the modeling and documenting of agile enterprise architecture. Since there is no comprehensive, standard and minimal method for modeling and documenting agile enterprise architecture in related researches, therefore, in this paper, a method for modeling agile enterprise architecture is presented and evaluated by the combined (qualitative + quantitative) method. Qualitative evaluation is performed through a case study. For quantitative evaluation, the AHP method is used to weighting and ranking the criteria. Evaluation criteria are extracted based on library studies and experts' opinions. In order to quantitatively evaluate the proposed method, six criteria have been proposed in this paper, which are: production of required and necessary artifacts, reduction of modeling time, reduction of cost, improvement of stakeholders satisfaction, improvement of applicability and increase of simplicity, and criteria of production of required and necessary artifacts, has won the highest rank.

For about a century, Kurdish nationalists have been fighting against their respective governments with the aim of forming Greater Kurdistan. They try to hide the existence of various "oppositions" and "othernesses" between themselves and the people of Kurdistan, with a nationalist point of view, and place them in a chain of equality and a single discourse. In this way, the "self" of the Kurds is imagined in front of the "other" of the central governments. The result of this idea will be nothing but the belief in the necessity of Kurdish independence and the formation of a unified government. This is despite the fact that the Kurds, like other ethnic and linguistic groups, have different ethnic, religious, racial, ideological and even linguistic divisions. The main question of the current research is that considering the existence of these gaps, is the formation of Greater Kurdistan feasible or not? In response to this question, the hypothesis is raised that due to the existence of various social divisions among the Kurds, the realization of this goal faces serious problems. The present article, together with the analysis of this issue, aims to investigate the possibility of realizing the ideal of Greater Kurdistan. The findings of the research indicate that the unification of Kurds and the formation of Greater Kurdistan is impossible due to the existence of social divisions among them. The data analysis of the present research was done using the discourse analysis method of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Library-documentary tools were also used in data collection and analyzed by descriptive-analytical method

End-of-life care is a critical component of nursing within healthcare systems. The attitudes of nursing students towards this care significantly impact the quality of nursing services they provide.

This study aimed to assess the attitudes of Iranian nursing students towards end-of-life care.

A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from 230 nursing students enrolled at the Islamic Azad University's Medical Sciences Faculty in Karaj, Iran, between April 24 and June 10, 2023. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. A self-administered questionnaire was employed, which included demographic information and the Iranian-adapted Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale form B-I (FATCOD-BI). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.

The study achieved an effective response rate of 86.95%. The mean FATCOD-BI score was 98.76 (SD = 9.91), with a range of 74 to 138. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in attitudes towards end-of-life care based on gender (P = 0.036), academic semester (P = 0.027), and prior training received (P = 0.037).

Nursing students demonstrated a generally positive attitude towards end-of-life care. This attitude was influenced by factors such as the level of education, gender, and prior training. Aligning nursing education with real-world professional demands is essential to closing the theoretical-practical gap. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating end-of-life care modules into the undergraduate nursing curriculum, highlighting a key priority for curriculum planners and nursing education policymakers.

Empathy is an essential interpersonal skill in providing care. Therefore, it is important to identify factors related to empathy in nursing students.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between the perception of professional values and empathy in nursing students.

A descriptive-correlational design was employed, involving 200 nursing students from the Islamic Azad University's Medical Sciences Faculty in Karaj, Iran. Data were collected between 24 April and 10 June 2023, using convenience sampling. Participants completed a demographic form, the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Profession Students (JES-HPS), and the Nurse Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) through self-report. Data were analyzed using an independent sample t -test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient with the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 software.

The mean scores for empathy and the perception of professional values were 69.26 ± 7.74 and 108.74 ± 14.56, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between total empathy scores and nursing students' perceptions of professional values (r = 0.232, P = 0.001).

This study found a positive association between nursing students' perceptions of professional values and their empathy levels. Enhancing professional values in the hidden curriculum and incorporating strategies into both theoretical and practical training may help cultivate higher levels of empathy among nursing students. This insight is valuable for educational policymakers and curriculum planners aiming to promote empathetic care in future nursing professionals.

 Despite the success of "direct-acting antivirals" in treating Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, invention of a preventive HCV vaccine is crucial for global elimination of the virus. Recent data indicated the importance of the induction of Pan-genomic neutralizing Antibodies (PnAbs) against heterogenic HCV Envelope 2(E2), the cellular receptor binding antigen, by any HCV vaccine candidate. To overcome HCVE2 heterogeneity, "generation of consensus HCVE2 sequences" is proposed. However, Consensus Sequence (CS) generating algorithms such as "Threshold" and "Majority" have certain limitations including "Threshold-rigidity" which leads to induction of undefined residues and insensitivity of the "Majority" towards the "evolutionary cost of residual substitutions".

 Herein, first a modification to the "Majority" algorithm was introduced by incorporating BLOSUM matrices. Secondly, the HCVE2 sequences generated by the "Fitness" algorithm (using 1698 sequences from genotypes 1, 2, and 3) was compared with those generated by the "Majority" and "Threshold" algorithms using several in silico tools.

 Results indicated that only "Fitness" provided completely defined, gapless HCVE2s for all genotypes/subtypes, while considered the evolutionary cost of amino acid replacements (main "Majority/Threshold" limitations) by substitution of several residues within the generated consensuses. Moreover, "Fitness-generated HCVE2 CSs" were superior for antigenic/immunogenic characteristics as an antigen, while their positions within the phylogenetic trees were still preserved.

 "Fitness" algorithm is capable of generating superior/optimum HCVE2 CSs for inclusion in a pan-genomic HCV vaccine and can be similarly used in CS generation for other highly variable antigens from other heterogenic pathogens.

Information, structure as well as phonetic, syntactic and semantic construction, has been one of the subjects of attention among linguists in recent years. Since information structure or , in other words, the way of distributing syntactic structures in dramatic texts is of great importance, the textual totality of the play ofool by Akbar Radi is used as linguistic data and as evidence in the analysis of the construction of information in sentences. To the knowledge of the authors of this research, no research has been conducted on the arrangement of sentence information in the dramatic genre; To this end, Akbar Radi's play entitled ofool was chosen as the corpus of research. The research method is descriptive-analytical. In order to analyze the informative structure of sentences, some phonetic, lexical and syntactic rules have been analyzed and summarized in this research. The findings revealed that this play is not the case of exception and encompasses all the advantages of this linguistic devices. In their own turn , these devices can be served to demonstrate staging, characterization and other dramatic thems. This linguistic devices are also used to serve the aesthetic aspects of the dramatic genre and create textual cohesion.

The prominent aim of the current research is to investigate the dominant social theme-centered cognitive metaphors which are used in "Ayenehaye Dardar" by Houshang Golshiri and "Al- Less Wal-Kelab" by Najib Mahfouz, who are two realist authors who have reflected social conditions in their works. The theoretical foundation of the addressed study is the theory of conceptual metaphor in cognitive semantics, which has elevated metaphor from a merely aesthetic means to an approach for cognition and contemplating. This study, adopting qualitative and quantitative analysis method with a comparative eastern European school, strives to answer this question that how and how frequent common social themes used by Houshang Golshiri and Najib Mahfouz in their two novels are conceptualized. The findings of the study imply that dealing with social matters, especially love, women, humanism, tendency to the past, social environment of the two authors, and subjectivism are among similarities between the two authors which are conceptualized in the form of conceptual metaphor. In these two novels, the ontological and structural metaphors have a high frequency, but the directional one is fewer seen.

Thomas Merton, one of the most renowned twentieth-century Christian theologians, owes much of his fame to his published works on interfaith dialogues between Christianity and other religions, particularly Eastern ones. He tried to lay the foundation of this dialogue upon shared beliefs and similarities between Christianity and ancient religions. Of all Eastern mysticisms, Merton was particularly interested in Buddhism, particularly Zen Buddhism. Buddhism, as presented by Suzuki, was a rich source of encounter and dialogue with the Gospel and new Christian doctrines for Merton. It seems that Suzuki presents Zen as a ritual that happens to relate to Buddhist history and teachings. However, Merton often found that Zen was deeply originated in the Buddhist tradition, as it creates a framework along with meditation in the mind and a vast insight.

Given the limited use of the 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) test as a replacement for standard tests in thoracic surgery, insufficient research exists on the prognostic value of this test, and further studies are necessary. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between pulmonary function tests (PFT) and the 6MWD test in lung resection patients.

This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2021-2022, involved lung resection candidates referred to the thoracic surgery clinic. Demographic data, including age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), were collected, and pulmonary function tests and 6MWD tests were conducted for all patients. The sample size of the study was 31, and all patients received routine treatment during hospitalization.

Of the 31 subjects included in the study, 16 were male (51.6%) and 15 (48.4%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 33.45±13.78 years. The median forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and the mean ratio of FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) were 2.16 (1.49–2.85) liters and 81.80±7.34%, respectively. No significant correlation was found between the results of 6MWD and PFT, including FVC, FEV1, and FEV1/FVC ratio (P>0.05).

The 6MWD test is a more economical and easily accessible test than PFT. However, this study found no correlation between the 6MWD test and spirometry parameters. Therefore, we suggest that surgeons should not rely on the 6MWD test as a predictive value for assessing respiratory function in lung resection candidates. The study’s findings have important implications for clinical practice.

The present study attempts to analyze and classify different types of conceptual metaphors and their method of conceptualization among Persian compound verbs based on cognitive semantics approach in metaphor analysis. The research method is descriptive-analytical and corpus-driven. Data collection was done through Sokhan's 8-volume dictionary as well as Persian language database. The research data consists of more than 1000 Persian compound verbs in the form of 20 common Persian language combinations, for each of which 50 current Persian language combinations were examined and analyzed. In fact, the objective of the authors is to analyze the types of conceptual metaphors and their frequency as well as to show their conceptualization among Persian compound verbs .The main objective of the current research is to answer the following questions: 1. How is metaphorical conceptualization formed in Persian compound verbs? 2. Which of the common conceptual metaphors has a higher frequency of occurrence? The results showed that in this corpus there are five domains of  source, object, container, human being and material, which all belong to ontological metaphors are with a big difference (especially  in comparison with the first two domains) the  most frequent source domains  in this corpus of Persian.

For about a century, some Kurdish parties have faced the contradiction of "maintaining the integrity of Iran" and "respecting the Kurdish identity". Historical research indicates that this problem did not exist in Iran's past and it was formed at the same time as the conquest of the West and the beginning of oriental studies. This problem has caused a lot of problems in the field of macro-national policies; Problems that have not been systematically analyzed and require deep research in this field. The main question of the current research is: What role have Orientalists played in creating "the other" in the two discourses of Iranian nationalism and Kurdish nationalism? The hypothesis of the present research is: Oriental studies led to the construction of Iranian identity in a coherent ethnic group, namely "Aryans". In response to this issue, a Kurdish identity was formed, the main feature of which was independence. This situation provided a suitable space for the competition of two discourses and the definition of the other party as "the other". The findings of the research indicate that orientalists have played an important role in placing the two discourses of Iranian and ethnic nationalism in competition with each other and defining each as the "other" of the other party. In the studies of orientalists, Iranian identity was defined by emphasizing the Aryan race and the Persian language, and other racial and linguistic identities were rejected as temporary elements. Therefore, the attempt to homogenize the culture that was the result of oriental studies and foreign interference is one of the main reasons for defining national identity as another local identity and vice versa. The current research will examine the historical developments related to the research topic from a discourse point of view by using the discourse analysis method of Laclau and Mouffe. Data collection has been done by using library-documentary tools and has been analyzed by descriptive-analytical method.

As an active Islamic movement in the subcontinent, Sufism played a significant role in the spread of Islam and Islamization of the people of India. The Sufis also created a positive interaction with the people of the subcontinent by using the methods of spiritual conduct and respect for the customs and traditions of the people of the subcontinent and in this way, they were able to attract many people to them. Among the most important Sufis of the subcontinent were Iranian Sufis and mystics who took the path of the subcontinent for several reasons and settled there. Among the reliable sources that identify as many Iranian Sufis of the subcontinent as possible and provide valuable information in the field of Iranian mysticism and Sufism, as well as a rich source for knowing more Iranian mystics who have stayed in India; It is considered to be Ibn Battuta's travelogue. He mentions many mystics, Sufis, jurists and scientists of that time who were Iranians, and he refers to them as “men of God”, “guardian of God”, “saints of God” and “sheikhs”. First, he recounts their genealogy to the reader as much as possible, and then gives explanations about their life, deeds, virtues and history, in general, the way of conduct, worship and fasting, the way of wearing clothes and cloaks and its customs, mystical virtues, leaving ties. Worldliness, seclusion and seclusion, giving and feeding the poor, and he mentioned the age of mystics, which sometimes exceeds 140 years or even 200 years, is one of the most important and prominent points that Ibn Battuta pays attention to in his travelogue. His travelogue provides information about leaving the ties of Iranian mystics of Indian origin, which is unique and worthy of attention. In some cases, his travelogue completes the historical information related to Iranian mystics and Sufis.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of physical activity on hematological parameters, specifically lymphocytes, white blood cells (WBC), and platelets, among middle-aged individuals infected with COVID-19. The objective was to determine whether physical activity levels are associated with differences in these key immune markers.Across-sectional study design was utilized, encompassing 144 middle-aged (35-60 years) COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Vali-e-Asr Hospital in Birjand city. Participants were categorized into active and inactive groups based on their self-reported physical activity levels. Hematological parameters, including lymphocyte, WBC, and platelet counts, were measured and analyzed. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney U test to compare differences between groups.The study revealed significant differences in hematological parameters between physically active and inactive patients. Active individuals exhibited higher mean lymphocyte counts (2.48 ± 0.33 vs. 2.47 ± 0.34, p>0.05), WBC (6.55 ± 1.25 vs. 6.52 ± 1.24, p>0.05), and platelet counts (250.50 ± 45.00 vs. 249.95 ± 44.95, p>0.05) compared to their inactive counterparts, although the differences were not statistically significant, suggesting a potential modulatory effect of physical activity on immune markers in COVID-19 patients.Physical activity may have a beneficial impact on the immune response of middle-aged COVID-19 patients, as indicated by the differences in key hematological parameters between active and inactive individuals. However, the observed differences were not statistically significant, underscoring the need for further research to explore the relationship between physical activity and immune function in the context of COVID-19. Future studies should aim to employ longitudinal designs, objective measures of physicalactivity, and broader population samples to validate and extend these findings.

Socio-economic base is like a social mold or container, in the framework of which the way people face the social environment is built and discussed. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the relationship between economic components and dimensions of social life. The statistical population of the research includes 108,523 citizens over 18 years of age living in Bushehr city. The statistical sample using Cochran's formula was 383 people who were selected as available. The research method used was descriptive correlation, and researcher-made questionnaires were used to measure the variables. Data analysis was done using SPSS software, and hypothesis testing was done using the Smart-PLS structural equation method. The results of this research showed that there is a relationship between the economic components and dimensions of social life in the citizens of Bushehr city, and the economic components through components including inflation rate, income, exchange rate, gross domestic product, housing situation, economic growth and misery index in general. To the extent of 77.5%, it explains the social attitudes and beliefs of citizens in different formats, including changes in social responsibility, social health, social mobility, social trust, social participation, and social support. Also, the path analysis (structural equations) results showed that the standardized regression coefficient of the effect of the orientation of the economic situation on social issues as a dependent variable is equal to 0.880. The amount of this effect on the components related to social issues, including social support, attitudes, social beliefs, social responsibility, social health, social mobility, social trust, and social participation, are equal to 0.849, 0.810, 0.735, 0.717, 0.762, 0.730, 0.754, and 0.795 respectively.

As physics laboratories are an integral part of the physics education across the globe, astronomy laboratories are also a necessary part of the astronomy education. However there have been only theoretical astronomy and astrophysics in Iranian universities. We present for the first time a new laboratory course on observational astronomy for bachelor and master students. In this course, students performed observational experiments and learned how to analyze astronomical data. Data are transformed from the camera RAW to the FITS format and later analyzed using Python AstroPy packages. In Astronomy Lab I, students learned to polar align equatorial mounts, measure the read and shot noises, estimate the spatial resolution in long exposure images, measure the solar limb darkening, stack a number of images to get a high signal to noise final image, calculate magnitude using aperture photometry, retrieve the absorption coefficient for each filter, correct for the atmospheric extinction and draw a Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram for open clusters.

In 1959, Thomas Merton became familiar with Islam and its religious teachings; His acquaintance and encounter with Islam has been formed in many ways. When Mertan established a relationship with Muslims and students of Islamic thought, it was at a time in his life when mysticism and spiritual life were the most prominent mental concerns for him. He was familiar with the works of Schwan and Rene Gunon by studying Sufi poems; The most influential person in Merten's introduction to Islam was a person named Louis Massignon. Thomas Merton became familiar with Islam and its teachings in the late 50s and throughout the 60s; His acquaintance and encounter with Islam has been formed in many ways. Among these ways of getting to know Mertan, we can mention the encounter and study of the main texts of Islam, including the Qur'an, as well as the meeting and correspondence with Muslim (Sufi) figures during his life. The most influential person in Merten's introduction to Islam was a person named Louis Massignon.Merten received many influences from Islam and his familiarity with Islam has played a significant role in enriching his religious and mystical thoughts. One of the most important teachings of Sufism that Merten received is the teaching that all human beings can achieve God's knowledge and knowledge by following their faith and beliefs and looking at God's personal signs in everything.

The role of place is implicitly or explicitly undeniable, in the formation of discourse and the production of meaning. Objectivity and abstraction are two predominant characteristics of places, which each give their place according to their practical context in various discourses. The main question is, how can discourses be the place of spatial challenge and pave the way to pass from the state of action to the state of transcendence and imagination? Dissociation from objective space and place, phenomenal aspect of presence and sensory-perceptual reception of place can take shape to spatial transcendence. By adopting the descriptive-analytical research methodology and relying on the "Paris appeared from afar" as the corpus of research, which is a collection of travel descriptions of Qajar period travelers, the author seeks to an answer to the following question, how does enunciator achieve a transcedental and spatial aspect of Paris by negating the actional aspect of the place and by relying on the co-presence surrounded world and sensory –perceptual experience? This perception of the word and live experience reveals the phenomenological aspect of the place ad gives the reader a new insight of the “other place” and existence.

The benefits of laparoscopy versus open surgery for patients with rectal cancer have been well established. This study evaluates the role of re-laparoscopy in patients who develop complications following laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery.

This is a retrospective case series of 22 (5.9%) re-laparoscopy cases of the 373 rectal cancer patients with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic primary surgery at Omid, Ghaem, and Razavi hospitals in Mashhad, Iran, between July 2011 and December 2020.

Twenty-two (5.9%) eligible patients with a mean± SD age of 50.9±10.4 years were included in the study, of which 15(68.2%) were male and 7(31.6%) were female. After 22 laparoscopic primary surgery, anastomosis-fail/peritonitis was the most common complication requiring re-laparoscopy (n = 9, 40.9%). Other complications included obstruction (n = 8, 36.4%), bleeding (n =3, 13.6%), and intestinal injury (n = 2, 9.1%). The complications of all patients (n =22) who underwent re-laparoscopy were successfully managed by re-laparoscopy.

In the case of available facilities and the presence of an experienced surgeon in the medical center, re-laparoscopy for managing complications following laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery appears to be safe and effective in selected patients.

Psychological analysis of fictional characters, based on the theories of humanistic psychologists, is a method for gaining a deeper understanding of literary works and their authors. Humanistic psychology is concerned with the self-consciousness of man as well as his moral behavior and self-actualization. Abraham Maslow, one of the leading theorists in this field, has made a significant contribution to humanistic psychology through the development of the theory of the hierarchy of human needs and the explanation of the characteristics of self-actualized individuals. Regarding Maslow’s theory, this study investigated the psychological characteristics of Abu Zaid Saroji, the main character of the Maqamat al-Hariri. In Maqamat, Al-Hariri created a complex and dynamic character named Abu Zaid, and considering the work's literary and historical-social significance, the psychological examination of the protagonist is essential. Abu Zaid is portrayed as a perpetually impoverished and troubled beggar who undergoes a fundamental transformation in the final maqameh of Maqamat al-Hariri. In the current study, it was determined how Abu Zaid's basic needs were met by analyzing each Maqameh separately, and examples of his awareness and self-actualization in Magamat were also considered.According to Maslow's theory, self-actualized people possess numerous characteristics, all of which are exemplified by Abu Zaid. Consequently, he can be considered a self-actualized individual. This study was conducted using the library method and involved data review and analysis.

In recent years, the analysis of speeches by political and religious officials worldwide has received great attention and interest. One of the most analytically robust and compelling theories in this field is the speech act theory developed by John Austin and John Searle. In his theory, John Searle categorized speech acts into five types: declarative, persuasive, commitment, expressive, and emotional. This article aims to analyze the speeches and statements of Imam Khomeini (RA) regarding the Palestinian issue through the lens of the speech act theories of J.L. Austin and John Searle. This research is descriptive-analytical in nature and employs a method that aligns the subject with the relevant theory. The statistical population consists of a compilation of speeches by Imam Khomeini (RA) regarding the Palestinian issue, spanning from 1978 (following the victory of the revolution) until his passing on June 14, 1989. These speeches are documented in the book "Sahifeh Imam, which serves as the most comprehensive collection of the written works and statements of the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The data collection method utilized a library approach, employing a card-taking tool and a total count strategy. The research findings indicated that, out of a total of 419.2 speech acts analyzed in this text, persuasive acts numbered 868, declarative acts totaled 847, and emotional acts reached 595, representing the largest categories. In contrast, commitment acts accounted for 104, while the smallest category was declarative acts, which numbered only 5. The results indicate the speaker's dissatisfaction with the current situation in Palestine and the Islamic world. In other words, Imam Khomeini (RA) has sought to express his discontent to the audience through persuasive, declarative, and emotional statements, aiming to motivate them to change the existing circumstances.

The kinesiopathology model is a new rehabilitation model classifying, evaluating, and treating patients with non-specific back pain. Sahrmann proposed this model based on movement disorder syndromes. The present cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the radiograph of the linear and angular displacement of the lumbar spine in patients with lumbar flexion impairment syndrome (LFIS) and lumbar extension impairment syndrome (LEIS). In this study, 50 adults aged 18-46 years were enrolled, including 25 patients with LFIS and 25 with LEIS. The eligible participants were referred to the radiology department for radiography in the common position of neutral, full extension, and full flexion position while standing. The White and Panjabi’s method was used to measure the linear and angular displacements. Moreover, pain intensity was assessed using the visual analogue scale, and functional disability was investigated using a modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. The parameter of the linear displacement at the L3-L4 level was significantly different between the two groups (P=0.02). The mean duration of low back pain was longer in the LEIS, compared to the LFIS group (P=0.01). In patients with LEIS, compensatory responses occur that cause less linear displacement at the L3-L4 level, compared to the patients with LFIS. Therefore, it is important to design appropriate exercises to better control the linear displacement at the L3-L4 level during the full range of motion in patients with LFIS. Level of evidence: III

The aim of the research was to determine the relationship between coaches' leadership styles and success motivation of wrestlers of different age groups. The research was applied in terms of purpose, descriptive and correlational in terms of strategy and was carried out by field method. The statistical population included all the best freestyle wrestlers in the age groups of teenagers, youth and adults of Hamedan province in 1400. The statistical sample consisted of 120 people, and due to the statistical sample being equal to the statistical population, the statistical sample was considered as a whole number. The instrument of data collection was Chaladorai Sports Leadership Scale Questionnaire (LSS) and Sports Success Questionnaire (SSS). Reliability was obtained using Cronbach's alpha method of 0.75 and 0.89 respectively. To analyze the data using SPSS software version 26 at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics (frequency distribution table, frequency percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient at a significance level of p≤0.05, F test and Fisher's Z test) was used. The results showed that the leadership styles of coaches have a significant positive effect on the success motivation of wrestlers. Social support behavior was the most and authoritarian behavior was the least behavior used by educators. There is a significant positive relationship between training and practice behaviors, positive and democratic feedback and success motivation; And there was a significant negative relationship between authoritarian behavior and achievement motivation. Therefore, it is suggested for educators to use more social support style and less authoritarian style.
