    Development is a process that coordinates people's and government's attempt to improve social, cultural and economic condition in any location and enables them all to participate in national progress and this terminology can be considered as an important process to teach people to participate in taking group decisions and in the meanwhile to take responsibilities which is in fact the same as Cooperative Development. This cooperative approach is supported by managers and intellectuals as the object. They claim that terminology should be considered as one of the main humans rights and should be supported in form of a goal and in its particles not for its results. NGOs as part of civil society's organs (CSOs) play significant role in realization of social development objectives. In situations when societies were not successful in solving environmental, developmental and welfare problems, NGOs were selected as shortcuts to pass development road. In those articles, the researcher first studied the importance of the role of NGOs in development and then evaluated the performance of these organizations in relation with development of environmental laws

    This article reports on an empirical study that investigated the influence of explicit metacognitive strategy instruction on reading comprehension and self-efficacy in English as a foreign language (EFL) among university students in Iran. A randomized pretest posttest control group design was employed. The quantitative data were collected by the Survey of Reading Strategies, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, and a reading comprehension test. The results of ANCOVA revealed that students in the experimental group showed greater achievement both in reading comprehension and self-efficacy than students in the control group.Este artículo trata de un estudio empírico en el que se investigó la influencia de la instrucción explícita de la estrategia metacognitiva en la comprensión lectora y la autoeficacia del inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) entre los estudiantes universitarios en Irán. Se empleó un diseño de grupo de pre-test y posttest con controles aleatorios. Los datos cuantitativos fueron recogidos en el estudio de estrategias de lectura, motivando estrategias de aprendizaje en un cuestionario y una prueba de comprensión de lectura. Los resultados del ANCOVA revelaron que los estudiantes del grupo experimental mostraban mayores logros tanto en comprensión lectora y en autoeficacia que los estudiantes del grupo control

    As green marketing becomes an essential tool for sustainable business strategy, companies are adopting green marketing practices to achieve better business performance. However, no research has yet operationalized all the organizational facets that are necessary to become a green marketing oriented company. The main purpose of this study is evaluating the impact of environmental friendliness on customer green intention buying with regarding marketing orientation. 12 Hypotheses were generated based on conceptual model. The sample includes 390 customers of Kalleh Company in Iran. The research is based on structural equation modeling (SEM) based on variation (partial least square) and path analysis. The collected data were analyzed by PLS software. The result revealed that there are positive and significant relationship between variables except tactical green marketing orientation and green satisfaction which is not significant. This researchs findings guide managers to develop their business and performance strategies and results and help them to improve the level of customers behaviors. KeyWords marketing orientation, Environmental, customer green intention buying, green trust, green satisfactio

    Investigation on mechanisms of adaptation of Ammodendron persicum to desert sand dune habitat in arid region

    Abstract Sand dune habitats in desert regions have harsh conditions for plant establishment and survival. Ammodendron persicum, an psamophyte shrub plant belongs to Leguminosae family, which grows over the desert sand dunes of Zirkohgaen, Gezik and Khash along east part of Iran. Recognizing the adaptive features of the plant species may help towards its conservation and introducing to other sand dune habitats. Therefore, the morphological characteristics of root and shoot, root distribution and forms of regeneration of the species were studied. Observations revealed that each individual plant has a deep taproot along with lateral roots which penetrate in different layers of sand, therefore benefit moisture from top to deeper layers of sand. It has white-grey stems, silver colored and spiny leaf, divided into leaflets. Plant regenerates both through vegetative and reproductive systems. Different mechanisms of adaptation enable the species to adapt in harsh conditions

    In the title compound, [V(C7H3NO4)O(C10H8N2)]·C2H5OH, the VIV atom exhibits a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment formed by two pyridyl N atoms of 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), the vanadyl O atom, and two carboxyl­ate O atoms and one pyridyl N atom of the tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ate (pydc2−) ligand. The pyridyl N atom of the pydc2− anion and one pyridyl N atom of bpy occupy the axial positions. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ethanol solvent mol­ecule as donor and a carboxyl­ate O atom as acceptor atoms, as well as C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, together with π–π stacking inter­actions between adjacent aromatic rings (average centroid–centroid distance = 3.577 Å), seem to be effective in the stabilization of the crystal packing, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional structure

    Effect of Dietary Supplementation with Conjugated Linoleic Acid on Bone Mineral Density, Bone Metabolism Markers and Inflammatory Markers in Healthy Post-menopausal Women: a Randomized Double Blind Placebo Controlled Trial

    Get PDF
    AbstractIntroduction: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has been shown to positively influence on calcium and bone metabolism in experimental animals and cell culture, but there are limited human data available.Material and Methods: This double-blind, placebo-controlled trial study was done on 76 healthy post-menopausal women (aged 55.1) which randomly assigned to receive daily four CLA capsules G80 containing 3.2 g isomer blend (50:50% cis-9, trans-11: trans-10, cis-12 isomers) or four capsules containing high oleic sunflower oil as placebo for 12 weeks. Urine and blood samples were collected at weeks 0 and 12 and were analyzed for biomarkers of calcium and bone metabolism and inflammatory markers (TNF-α and IL-6). Subjects completed 3-day dietary records during the trial, in weeks 0 (baseline), 6 and 12.Results: supplementation with 3.2 g CLA isomer blend (50:50% cis-9,trans-11:trans-10,cis-12 isomers) for 12 weeks had no significant effects on bone formation markers (serum osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase) or bone resorption (urine C-telopeptide-related fraction of type 1 collagen degradation products), parathyroid hormone (PTH), urinary calcium, urinary creatinine and CTP to creatinine ratio. But serum interlukine-6 did not change significantly over 12 weeks in postmenopausal women.Conclusion: Under the conditions tested in postmenopausal women, 3.2 g CLA isomer blend (50:50% cis-9, trans-11: trans-10, cis-12 isomers) did not affect markers of bone metabolism and calcium

    S U (3) Squeezing: quantum and semiclassical evolutions

    Get PDF
    In this thesis we describe a squeezing for SU(3) systems and compare squeezing in the phase space in the semiclassical approximation with squeezing obtained by the full quantum mechanical calculation. We show that the equations of motion in phase space for SU(3) Wigner function are given in terms of the Poisson bracket plus quantum correction terms which depend on the inverse dimension of the system. In the semiclassical approximation, for large values of the SU(3) representation label , we can ignore the quantum correction terms and use the truncated Liouville equation; squeezing in SU(3) systems is well described by this truncated Liouville equation. Finally, we find some scaling behaviors associated with squeezing in SU(3) and compare these with the corresponding SU(2) calculations
