The most important duty of any government is to ensure the security of the nation and the land under its rule. Respecting the conditions of time and place is an inevitable priority, neglecting which can make any nation vulnerable. The rapid growth of technology proves that it is necessary to achieve defense authority and national security, to evaluate and measure the power of military organizations, as a manifestation of national power, in all-round deterrence. Evaluating the military power helps the officials of the country, especially the commanders of the armed forces, while knowing the state and position of the country's military power; Compared to competitors, opponents and enemies, they should plan more precisely in order to eliminate weaknesses and increase capabilities in order to create comprehensive deterrence. The main goal is to achieve the model of evaluating and measuring the power of military organizations. It is a developmental-applied type of research that was done with a descriptive-analytical method and a mixed method. The statistical sample size is 70 people.  Analysis of the information obtained from the study of the sources using a qualitative method and the data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed using Spss software and using the descriptive statistical method, the influence level of each of the dimensions, components and indicators was determined based on the average score. As a result of the research, a model for evaluating and measuring the power of military organizations has been presented with the statistics of 10 dimensions, 35 components and 139 tangible and intangible indicators.

In the development process, in many cases, the adopted strategies do not have the necessary effect. The effectiveness of strategies depends on the full role of each of their constituent elements. In this research, an attempt is made to provide a clear picture of the vital role of an apparently non-determining component. By showing the important position of a legal element as a case study in the framework of economic strategy, the present research deals with the determining role of the elements in the absence of which the development process will be disrupted. "Collateral" is one of the very key tools in the process of granting bank facilities in order to provide capital. Failure to pay attention to the issue of collateral as a legal element in the course of economic development, which is a very small category and the second is considered a large issue, will often cause problems. It is very difficult to accept that such a small category can cause major disturbances in the development process. The current research tries to show that collateral as a legal element leaves serious effects in the flow of the economy.

Governance programs have not been very successful in Iran and establishing transcendental governance as an indigenous approach in planning is one of these endeavors. Experts contend that this governance can contribute to the country’s development. Therefore, this research aims to propose a model for assessing transcendental governance by using the statements of the Supreme Leader (May God protect him) using a qualitative method, with an applied and developmental objective and in a descriptive manner; In such a way that based on this, by library method, documentary and monitoring electronic databases on assessing transcendental governance system, testament of martyrs on speeches was the foundation of study and by conducting semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis method from total 319 initial codes and 38 sub-codes, three main codes of assessment model of governance based on rationale of martyrs were depicted. The research findings show that transcendental governance based on rationale of martyrs is influential in the current governance system and the research outcomes suggest that offices and ministries should create, enhance the calculated indicators to attain their goals. Pursue the assessment and implementation of transcendental governance based on rationale of martyrs.

Review:The main goal of this article is to evaluate the national security management system of the Islamic Republic of Iran using the performance importance analysis (IPA) method. Therefore, first by studying and examining the dimensions and components of 42 indicators, it was identified in the form of 6 dimensions and it was given to 30 people working in the protection units of the military forces and the protection of the executive agencies. This research is of an applied type and Library study methods and document reference and data questionnaire tools have been used. The statistical population researched by the experts, and the Shaal forces in the protection and protection of the information system of the Islamic Republic of Iran have been selected according to the nobility and experience in the country's information system. For this purpose, the importance and performance analysis method was used and the importance and priority of each of the 46 indicators was determined, and the overall importance and performance of the national security management system in order to strengthen the statistics was presented. The data analysis showed that "the council "High national security, numerous actors and high morale of employees" are the most important indicators that should be prioritized in planning.

In this research, an attempt has been made to provide a model for assessing the national security coefficient of the Islamic Republic of Iran based on the topics in the Year Book of National Security, which focus on national security issues. For this purpose, content analysis strategy, decision tree logic and network analysis method were used and a conceptual model called "NAZAM" model was introduced, which includes four dimensions and consists of the initials of each dimension, which include insecure factors, security. The results of this study showed that the system's capacity dimension plays a role in the national security coefficient of the Islamic Republic of Iran more than other dimensions. Therefore, if the overall national security strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is focused on increasing capacity, it will have a greater impact than the strategy to deal with insecure factors. Increasing the level of efficiency of the political system, improving the interaction between the three powers, increasing the political trust and social capital of the government, increasing the level of production, repairing the electoral system and increasing Iran's consensus-building power in international organizations, more than control and countermeasures against insecure factors will increase national security.

Today IPR have become one of the most important factors in the country's sustainable economic growth and there are various models for assessing and comparing the national system of IPR in countries. Iran ranked 91th out of 125 countries, according to 2018 IPRI[1] report and was placed 15th from among countries in the MENA region[2]. This paper attempts to review the latest IPR assessment models used by countries and relevant international institutions, and present the corresponding components and indicators of the assessment dimension of the National IPR System of Iran. By systematic study, dimensions, and corresponding components and indicators of the system compiled, A conceptual framework was developed, a Questionnaire has been adopted to collect data and the qualitative data analysis pertains to fifteen dimensions (corresponding components and indicators), identified through our collaboration with the experts. In order to determine the relationship between dimensions and to depict the driving Power and Dependence of dimensions, leveling and eliminating the content inconsistencies of the factors by the experts, an ISM approach was used. The Findings indicate, that the Assessment Dimension and Related Criteria is in the dependent cluster on the model of the IPRS and consists of ten components and eighty indicators.

Medical tourism is a growing phenomenon in 21th century that has one of fastest growing markets in tourism. Despite Iran's medical tourism capabilities, statistics show a very small market share for the country. Due to good opportunities and increasing international competition in medical tourism on one hand, and not using our capabilities in this industry on the other, this mixed method research aims to identify medical tourism development solutions as well as appropriate measures and policy instruments to implement them in Iran. The study was conducted in two phases. In the 1st phase(qualitative) after interviewing 16 participants, appropriate solutions, measures and instruments were extracted using thematic analysis. On the 2nd phase, statistical tests were used to approve and prioritize solutions as well as to assess the policy instruments according to effectiveness and feasibility measures. According to the results, there are 20 solutions and 37 effective feasible policy measures for medical tourism development in Iran which should be pursued in three areas of "policy making and administrative structures", "medical tourism supply chain" and "medical tourism markets.

Following the introduction of “soft power” by Joseph Nye in 1990s, this concept received special attention in studies related to power and the international relations, turning to a key concept in these areas. Power evaluation is commonly practiced in all forms of power and in soft power in particular. Being a relative concept, power becomes meaningful through evaluation, assessment and comparison. Therefore, it has always been a challenge for international affairs’ experts and political scientists to evaluate and assess the national power of the states to determine their position in world system. This paper intends to provide appropriate responses to the following questions: First; how significant is evaluation of soft power? Second; what are the challenges to soft power evaluation? And third; what are the major patterns for evaluation of soft power and the previous efforts to that end? The findings of this research work, achieved through a descriptive-analytical method, indicate that due to the increasing importance of soft power during the recent years, the techniques of evaluation and assessment of this form of power have eventually gained momentum, particularly in terms of adopting appropriate strategies in soft power literature. However, as this paper has found out, unlike hard power, it is difficult to evaluate effectiveness of soft power due to the nature of soft power and its typical resources. Regardless of these hardships and thanks to the importance of soft power evaluation, many steps have been already taken in international level and several patterns have been introduced in this field of study

Investigating the consequences of tourism development in a region requires studying it in the form of sustainable development. In recent decades, the Arvindkenar area in the Persian Gulf region has become a destination for the tourism of the holy defense of tourist tourism tourism in the form of lightning-fast camps. Therefore, in this research, the methodology is descriptive-analytic, while studying the concepts of sustainable development, sustainable tourism and war tourism; the effects and consequences of war tourism on sustainable development of this region have been investigated. In order to achieve this goal, a questionnaire was prepared according to the indicators of sustainable development in the dimensions (social, economic, and environmental). Which was completed by 256 sample volunteers using the Cochran method from residents as a statistical population. After analyzing the content analysis method, according to the opinion of the people and authorities, these results were achieved separately in three dimensions: 48% of society The sample has positive economic benefits and 44% have positive social impacts and 57% have a positive environmental impact, contributing in many ways to the environmental instability of the region.

Water resources have a key role in land planning and are a major base for economical development of any country. Water productivity (WP) index is indicator of produced crop (Kg) or crop revenue per unit (m3) of irrigation water consumed. Indeed WP could be indicator of the role of each unit of water consumed in country’s GDP or GNP. Economists believe that the only solution to the problem of food production from limited water resources and reduction of excessive import of agricultural commodities is the improvement of physical and finally economical WP. From legal aspects, improvement of WP in agricultural sector of Iran has emphasized in the article no of 25 of the general act of enhancement of productivity in agricultural and natural resources sectors of Iran approved by the parliament in 2010. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to assess current situation of agricultural WP in Iran and evaluation of the policies and plans of country, especially in the last decade, in this regard. Moreover, the factors influencing the WP, the strengths, and the weak points of the plans and policies are determined and some suggestions and measures are provided. Based on results, the physical WP of the country in years 2000 (Baseline year), 2006, 2010 (control year), and 2025 (target year) was 0.70, 0.79, 0.95, and 1.70 respectively. Also the water application efficiency for the aforementioned years was 34, 37, 40, and 60 percent respectively. Improvement of WP is an unavoidable fact of the country, and by the year 2025 its value should be almost doubled from the present value (0.9-1.0 Kg/m3). This challenge requires development of new laws, rules, and institutions and update of current policies on country’s water management, together with stakeholder participation, technical, infrastructural and software actions, enhancement of technical knowledge and applied research. Implementation of the article no of 25 of the general act of enhancement of productivity in agricultural and natural resources sectors of Iran could be the first and the main step toward this target.

The Middle East is the cradle of ancient civilizations and great religions It is a geopolitical, geo-economic and strategic area. To describe it, expressions such as a global hub, an intersection between Eurasia and Africa, a sensitive area, a crescent of crisis etc. are repeatedly used in the literature of international relations, emphosizing the importance of the regim.Oil discovery added to the importance of Great powers in defining their strategic interests consider this region vital for their security and trade relations. Hence the peace and stability are tiedy to all aspects of security in this region. National security and national power have a positive correlation with effective international and regional security. It shows that the power of national geopolitical weight cannot easily be measured due to its dual nature of hard and soft dimensions. However, its measurement could be carried out by considering territorial, economic, social, cultural, political, special, scientific and technological, military, and ultra-boundary factors, In this article, by relying upon four land, economic, cultural and social components and 37 indices, the author tries to answer the question that how national power in the Middle East and Iran in 1404 is to be evaluated by using a descriptive- analytic methodology, collected information were analyzed. The results show that: 1- Middle East countries including, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have the potential to be regional powers. 2- The independent political life of some of the region's oil states, now considered among the richest countries, will confront serious challenges when energy ressources are exchausted and will deal a heavy blow to the unity and strength of the moderate coalition. 3- Iran's size and its great potentials and vast natural and human resources along with good diplomacy can highten its status to become the first regional power.

Mass production of housing units has been an important policy pursued by Iranian government in recent years. Mass production and building small housing units have been among major pillars of the government’s housing policy. Tax exemptions, granting inexpensive land and discount on the interest rate of bank facilities have been major supports provided by government for mass producers of housing units in recent years. Granting land on lease and eliminating land price from housing production function (by implementing Mehr Housing Plan) were other incentives considered by the government. Such supports, however, have not had a remarkable effect on encouraging mass housing production. Mass production of housing units and taking advantage of the said supports entail many expenses other than production cost. These expenses cannot be explained through a neoclassic economic theory. This paper is based on findings of a research project for the assessment of government’s mass housing policy. It uses transactions cost theory of the World Bank to assess transactions costs for 10 phases of building mass housing units before discussing reasons for the failure of the aforesaid supports to stimulate mass housing production. Findings show that the supports have been provided for only some of those 10 phases and have not been available for other phases.
