Providing management with a proper and reliable information system, which is able to manage decision making with regard to enhanced programming, organizing and controlling, has now become an essential necessity. In order to have a successful academic management, it is necessary to study management system information with regard to sources, limitations, formation, and employees motivation and spirit. This issue is being investigated in this piece of study. The main aim of this applied research is to explain the university management system information and its effects on users decision making through a descriptive-survey method. The research employed descriptive-analytic as well as Spearman correlation statistical practice to analyze the data. A sample of 99 subjects was used for conducting the research. Using information system model as well as decision making process, the researchers assessed the conceptual model of the research in the statistical population. The effectiveness of the factors and aspects of the issue of the main variable was determined by statistical analysis, and a direct and significant relation, higher than moderate level, between them was approved. Relationship between university information system and decision making by the users proved to be at moderate level. This relation was stronger between management system information (all aspects) and recognition of problems. University management system information (all aspects) proved to have lower moderate relation with problem solving. Two aspects, out of five aspects of management system information, including executive and procedural aspects, showed direct moderate relation with problem solving. Consequently, all of the hypotheses of this research were confirmed.

As the effectiveness of religious training in Islam mainly takes place because of the consistency between the educational material and Devine nature of man, consideration of these changes along with the effects they impose on the teaching methodology are essentially important in the assessment of the media. Religious media in Iran mainly originates from pulpits (manaber). Pulpits have been the strongest Islamic media tribunes in the history of Islam and Shia'. This media form has been changed greatly by the modern communication technology and presentation of internet after the 1980s in Iran. This change has affected the addressees of the Islamic messages, especially the youth. Changes in the social structure toward modernism have enhanced the religious media greatly. On the other hand, development in the process of addressee's information and knowledge, has brought about modern changes in communication and intelligence instruments. These changes along with content improvement have resulted in new ways of communicating with the addressees (the believers). They started to separate perception from their own feelings. The effects of these changes can be now observed in the beliefs and behavior of the youth. This research is intended to deal with the pathology of this change.

After World War II, new changes in the scientific literature and dominating political and security patterns of the world as well as the virtual space brought about great changes in different aspects of human life including cultural, economical, social, educational and security issues of people. In the meantime, a modern way of communication called 'virtual social network' as a subdivision of a more general term called 'social media' appeared. These networks allow their members to have special private web pages, communicate with others, design more new networks, and develop interactional online communication. These networks can impose vast threats and damages for the society and may result in challenges in different fields of the society. It seems that these networks will impose most important challenge for the political systems including the Islamic Republic of Iran. During the conspiracy of the 1388, its leaders inside and outside the country tried to make use of this virtual space to attract and organize people for civil disobedience, marching on the streets and confronting the Islamic system. This article is intended to analyze the writer's own observations, as well as the materials in the virtual networks through a documentary field study to find out the technique that they used for attracting and organizing people for street marching against the legitimacy of the Islamic system.

Political sociologists have always tried to define power and to determine the borders between society and political organization of the government. Historical events and political changes in the countries, specially after the appearance of modern states, have played a great role in the creation and change of the definition of power and its instances. Hence, the conceptual changes of power can be easily tracked from the social contract of Hobbes to Foucault's power knowledge and discourse. This research is aimed at reviewing the concept of power and its effects on modern government characteristics in modern political sociology and comparing it with the traits of power in the Islamic Republic system. while considering the shared points between the two, its differences will be considered as well.

Research is the most important factor for proper cultural, social and economical development. Self-sufficiency and independence can never be though of without conducting researches and producing knowledge. If researches are designed purposefully with a look to future, they will bring about great progress for the country. Researches are conducted to find an essential and effective solutions for the changing situation. Therefore, enhancement of the research will bring about native knowledge, increase in the number of ISI articles, development in communication with international academic centers, knowledge transmission between interdisciplinary courses, and increasing values in the society. To achieve this goal, consideration of values, specially ethical values, in business and human communication seems to be very important now. Thus descriptive research has employed documentary analysis to collect data from different written sources as well as interviews. The theoretical outlook of this research is based on the Islamic view in the field of ethics. Besides, the views of western scholars have been considered for developing quality giving standards. The results indicated that factors such as the process of designing the university research programs, conducting national and international research plans, enrichment of the contents of the university journals, establishing polar courses in the university, improving research resources, developing business application of the research results, improving research methodology, and providing more facilities and training for the researchers and can bring about improvement in the university researches. Of course, ethical aspect seems to be more influential than other ones. it can be concluded that those organizations which place ethical issues on top of their environmental issues can expect more survivability.

One of the main components of the soft power of any political organization in general and international space relates to the acceptability and legitimacy that its people bestow to its discourse. Public diplomacy and cultural industry play important roles in the diffusion, authorization, development and enrichment of a discourse in the general inter-subjective space. Diffusion theory is a common theory that explains the distribution of discourse, life style, entrepreneurship, development of thought and their integration. Based on the report by Cultural Industry Policy Association, Vanderbilt University, 2005, this research is intended to clarify the history, methodology, structures, obstacles and methods of diffusion of American culture in its public diplomacy in the world, and particularly after September 11 in the world of Islam.
