Having sufficient information and knowledge about the pandemic situation of (SARS-CoV-2) is one of the most effective evidence-based policy factors in controlling this destructive phenomenon in countries. Proper and timely interventions are essential for conscious control of the disease outbreak. This article examines governmental interventions (logistical, economic, security) and strategic health (4T) and behavioral interventions in different countries' pre-vaccine and post-vaccination eras. It considers vaccination the most critical and influential intervention.  However, Non-Pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) should be continued for at least one year after the complete vaccination of the target population. It is noteworthy that the development of new mutations and escape from the vaccine has raised many concerns for continued control of the disease. The research method in this article is based on the Scope review of scientific literature to find the main sources and key concepts in recognizing various governmental interventions and NPIs in the world and modelling a novel intervention formula with a futuristic approach in pandemic disease control. Based on the studies conducted and the disease trend in different parts of the world, this article presents the sine wave-based point-contingency intervention model for controlling Covid-19 disease in Iran and similar countries.

By empirical analysis of the extent and aspects of UK electricity policy change over more than a decade, the present article attempts to develop a theoretical framework for policy change characterisation and measurement. Based on Hall’s (1993), components of policy paradigm, objectives, institutions, instruments and technology preference (socio-technical configuration) were chosen as the theoretical framework. The research is of qualitative methodology and case-study design, utilising semi-structured interviews, survey and secondary studies during 2000-2012. The results showed that despite common belief on fundamental changes of the policies, UK electricity policy has not been completely changed in two components: policy paradigm which still depicts an ambivalence between market paradigm and state interventionism, and the socio-technical configuration which is yet locked as centralised and large-scale in hand of the Big Six. The framework could benefit analysis of Iran’s energy policy changes to yield a comprehensive and analytical view.

The purpose of this study is to redefine the role of faculty members in higher education policy. This qualitative research has been compiled in two steps. First, specialized keywords were searched in international databases using a systematic review method. Second, thematic analysis was performed using Sterberg thematic analysis. Findings of the components of faculty members' role in university governance included: collective decision-making and decision-making (collectivism in decisions, decision-making, transparency and information) and scope of decision-making (university policy-making, university management, university finance, administration and student affairs). . The components considered by university administrators in the participation of faculty members include the eight main components of public governance of the university; Human capital development; Social capital development; University rules and regulations; Incentive mechanisms; Competitive atmosphere; Soft capacities; Hard capacities were subdivided into 16 subcomponents. Components of higher education policy makers also include multilevel governance of higher education (targeted policy-making and efficient management); Rules and regulations (higher education laws and higher education laws).

The purpose of this study is to present the elements affecting the formation, potential effects and strategies of policy conflict management.

A qualitative approach and Delphi methods and content analysis were used. To implement the Delphi method, the opinions of 13 experts were received in the form of three rounds of questionnaires. The network of general policy conflict management themes was identified with 111 basic themes, 14 organizing themes and 3 comprehensive themes. The research findings were extracted from the Elements of conflict formation including the type of actors, ideological characteristics of the role-makers, performance contexts, environmental characteristics and design of internal elements of the policy. Findings from the effects of conflict including social, process, governance and reflection effects were also identified. Evidence-based decision making, participatory development, deepening transparency, legal regulation and conflict of interest management were also identified as policy conflict management solutions.

Development planning in Iran has been considered in the past, but has not made much progress in terms of balanced development and attention to regional justice. Lack of appropriate conditions for governing regional development is the reason for the failure of balanced regional development policies in Iran from the perspective of institutional approach. The present study aimed at evaluating and analyzing the governance structure of development for deprived areas of the country according to the laws and legal duties of the Sixth Economic and Social Development Plan. The cooperation network was analyzed based on the legal duties of the institutions and organizations in charge of sustainable and balanced development programs in the regions using Ucinet and Netdraw software as to the indicators of degree centrality, betweenness centrality, density, geodetic distance and cutting points. The results show that the lack of a regional development management system, the absence of a definition of executive and supervisory institutions, and the nonexistence of attention to regional potentials, indigenous human capital knowledge and local entrepreneurship development are the main challenges of regional development governance structure. Due to the imbalance in distribution of power among the key the stakeholders in the current structure, development of cooperation between provincial planners and other key actors, identifying the regional development roadmap, strengthening the legislative role of parliament, the oversight role of the Environmental Protection Organization, and the participatory role of communities local development are counted as the capacities of balanced regional development governance in the country.

One of the functions of governments in the field of energy supply is the roles they play in formulating policy, as the first link in the public policy-making system.
