The Islamic Republic of Iran needs authority to create indigenous and self -regional security in the Persian Gulf, as well as to counter regional and trans -regional threats in the area. Therefore, this article is aimed at identifying environmental factors (strength, weakness, opportunity, threat) and formulating Iranian powerful strategies.

It is applied research and is used by the case-context-based method to formulate strategies and tapis techniques to prioritize strategies.

Data analysis has found 13 part strategies (3 aggressive strategies, 5 competitive strategies, 3 conservative strategies and 2 defensive strategies). According to the improving the improving the number of 7 main power strategies in the Persian Gulf.

The strategic position of the Islamic Republic of Iran for attaining authority is in a strong conservative and strong situation that is moving towards a mild and focused offensive.

The main purpose of this research is to examine the military threats of the United States and present the military strategies of the Islamic Republic of Iran against them.

The type of research is applied, and the necessary information is obtained from the study of documents, interviews with experts and questionnaires, and a descriptive method with a mixed approach has been used. The overall statistical population of the research is 70 people and the sample size is consistent with the statistical population and all the numbers have been determined. In order to collect and analyze data, in addition to taking samples from library studies and conducting expert interviews, using document analysis and elite analysis methods, descriptive and inferential statistics methods have also been used.

The number of 7 main strategies was calculated based on 73 selected research factors (19 strength factors, 9 weakness factors, 10 opportunity factors and 35 threat factors) relying on the provided partial strategies.

 The result of the vector on the axis of Cartesian coordinates indicates that the competition of the Islamic Republic of Iran is more focused on strengths than opportunities.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the moderating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between the characteristics of dynamic environments and future wars on the performance of operational commanders in the integrated command and control network of Aja air defense.Research

The research method is mixed (quantitative and qualitative) and the qualitative statistical population includes 12 experts and the quantitative statistical population includes 234 people, and the Karjesi-Morgan table was used for sampling. The data collection tool was a questionnaire, and the statistical analysis software SPSS24, Amos26 was used to analyze the data.

The model was prepared with 4 dimensions and 30 components. The findings of the statistical tests indicated a good fit of the model and showed that cognitive flexibility positively moderates the relationship between the characteristics of the dynamic environment and future wars on commanders' performance.

The results of the present study also showed that the severity of the impact of cognitive flexibility was 0.79, the characteristics of future wars was 0.612, and mission dynamics was 0.587 on performance, and a total of 0.77% of the variance of commanders' performance was explained in the model.

the goal of this research is to provide a conceptual model of cyber security maturity for the critical infrastructure of the country.

Metodology:

 Based on this, by referring to upstream documents in the cyber field, reference cyber security maturity models, and using mixed research methods (quantitative and qualitative), we try to interpret the findings obtained from qualitative studies in an integrated manner with the aim of achieving a perceptual level and presenting a conceptual model. has been To identify dimensions, components and indicators, using theoretical literature and studying previous research, first 144 studies were evaluated using CASP tool and finally 21 studies were selected.

Selected studies were coded using MAXQDA software and finally 56 indicators were calculated. These indicators were shared with 16 experts through a questionnaire and the final indicators were extracted for model design. The obtained model includes three dimensions, 13 components and 56 indicators.

Considering that the guidelines related to the maturity of cyber security must be complete and comprehensive in a way that includes all matters related to cyber security, therefore, it is possible to use the indicators calculated in this research the basis for compiling these guidelines.

The lack of imagination capability, Perception and learning ethical behavior cannot be compensated by organizational statements or traditional training, and in addition, organizations do not possess enough tools and sources to solve this problem. However, digital simulation technologies like virtual reality, can help to learn ethical behavior through unconscious mental processing and goal priming of ethical behavior by providing a platform for imagining the results of unethical/ethical behaviors in the simulated environment.

The present study survey the impact of the use of Virtual Reality Simulation technology on the mental priming and social cognitive learning of ethical behavior among the employees of organizations.

The paradigm and methodological approach of the current research is interpretive and qualitative with a meta-synthesis method. The statistical population of the research consists of authentic qualitative studies published in the field of application of digital simulation technologies in social cognitive learning from 2010 to 2022.

Based on the meta-synthesis results, the five components of unconscious indoctrination, feeling of pervasive presence in the learning environment, increasing the cognitive processing capacity of abstract and non-experiential concepts, the ability to deeply perceive the subject in the simulation environment, positive motivation to learn, improving creativity were identified as the effect of the use of Virtual Reality as digital simulation technology on social cognitive learning and ethical behavior in organizations.

Based on the results of the research, it is concluded that digital simulation technologies can provide a significant change in social cognitive learning and automation of ethical behavior.

The current research, which was carried out with the aim of explaining and identifying the drivers of political economy affecting the military power of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is practical in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature and method. Upstream documents and library sources have been used to identify the drivers of political economy. Qualitative data analysis based on the theme analysis method (AtlasT.I software), which led to the identification of more than 270 basic themes. After combining and summarizing, the basic themes were reduced to 64 core themes and finally 14 main categories were extracted as key drivers. In order to explain the effect of political economy drivers on Iran's military power, the method of mutual influence matrix and the Mikmaq questionnaire (20*20 matrix) have been used. The responses of the statistical population include: 37 faculty members of the military and civilian universities of the country who were selected in a non-probability purposeful way, were collected and analyzed. The results and findings of the research show that the domestic political economy has a greater effect on Iran's military power. The sequence of influence of drivers is: geography and strategic resources, rentier government, military-industrial complexes, pillars of political power, foreign relations, geopolitical strategy, Westphalian order, oil shocks, anarchic order, foreign trade, diplomacy Defense, liberal order, globalization and international sanctions. Also, the dimensions of military power affected by political economy are: military expenses, equipment and technology, defense diplomacy, manpower, command and management and organizational structure.
