The study of relationship between transformational leadership style and organizational performance in state offices of Sirjan City based on EFQM model

The present study is conducted to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership style and organizational performance in governmental offices of Sirjan city based on the EFQM model. The study has applied purpose and in terms of nature and method is descriptive - correlational. The statistical population includes all government staff in Sirjan city in 2014 that is more than 1815 people. According to Morgan table, among them, 317 subjects were selected by random class sampling method. The standardized questionnaire of transformational leadership style with 20 questions was used for data collection and standardized questionnaire of Quality Excellence Model of Europe with 42 questions was used for organizational performance. Both questionnaires had acceptable validity and their reliability based on Cronbach's alpha test was obtained to be 0.961 for transformational leadership style and 0.95 for organizational performance. Descriptive statistic and inferential statistic methods were used to analyze the data. The results of data analysis showed a significant and positive relationship between transformational leadership style and all dimensions with organizational performance in governmental offices of Sirjan city based on the EFQM model

Canonical Correlation Analysis for fostering skills based on sustainable development on the innovation competence of engineering students

A sustainable future is shaped by the development of a global mindset through the foster of skills and innovation in sustainable universities. In this regard, the aim of the study was to focus on fostering skills based on sustainable development on innovation competence of engineering students of Sistan and Baluchestan University. The research method was correlation. The study population was postgraduate engineering students of Sistan and Baluchestan University and the sample of 265 people was performed based on a simple random. The research instrument was two questionnaires of fostering skills based on sustainable development and students' innovation competence. Confirmatory validity, composied reliability and Cronbach's alpha were all reported to be appropriate tools. The method of analysis using SPSS software was Canonical Correlation analysis and regression. The results showed that there is a relationship between all components of fostering skills based on sustainable development and innovation competence of engineering students. On the other hand, all components of fostering skills have the power to predict the components of individual, interpersonal and network competence in innovation. It can be said that universities are constructive by fostering sustainable skills in order to create innovative competencies in shaping the future of a sustainable society

A Theoretical and Numerical Study of Nanoscale Heat Transfer

In order to continue the progress of nanotechnology in producing effective and efficient mechanical, electrical, and optical nanostructure devices, the physics of the devices in micro and nanoscale need to be understood and accurately modeled. For instance, the demand for high areal density data storage devices such as hard disk drives (HDDs) has led to heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) and microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) technologies. These technologies require layered nanostructures with thicknesses of a few nanometers and a high temperature difference across the layers. These technologies introduce thermo-mechanical design challenges since the nanoscale heat transfer mechanics do not follow the classical heat transfer theories. In this work, the mechanisms of heat transfer in the nanoscale are studied.A typical nanostructure is composed of several conductive and thin insulating layers (a few microns to a few nanometers) with a temperature difference between the layers where some insulating layers maintain the temperature gradient in such small spacings. In these structures, the dominant heat transfer mechanisms are radiation due to high temperature gradient and phonon conduction due to thin conductive layers. First, we review the fundamentals of electromagnetism and lattice vibrations and derive the classical heat transfer theories, and discuss the assumptions that lead to them. We show that the classical theories do not consider the wave nature of the heat transfer mechanisms (heat carriers) and are derived based on equilibrium thermodynamics. These assumptions make the obtained results inapplicable to our problems. Next, we study the recent theories and methods used to solve steady-state nanoscale heat transfer problems, and we further develop more accurate models of calculations.In this work, we study the mechanisms of heat transfer in nanostructures and present simulations for the thermal analysis of various multilayered structures. We show how the radiative and phonon conduction heat fluxes across a nanoscale vacuum gap vary as a function of the gap spacing, and focus on the problems with large heat flux across nanostructures. Next, we consider the effect of the interference of the heat carriers, due to their wave nature, on radiation and phonon conduction. The heat transfer coefficient (HTC) for various structures used in the current HDD technology is characterized by different temperature differences and conditions. The presented results are also used in collaboration with other researchers in simulations of HDI of HAMR HDDs.Next, the presented algorithms are used to simulate radiation in multilayered structures with absorbing materials, where the speed of propagation for absorbing materials is based on a recent model in literature that predicts the depth-dependent speed of electromagnet waves inside materials. We also present a novel way to describe the distribution of the thermal emission inside a multilayered structure using one distribution function instead of using multiple distributions for layers with different temperatures, which we call the unified field. This model is more accurate than the models in the preceding chapters at predicting the HTC for the phonon conduction in materials under some conditions

Politics of Iranian Cinema: Films and Society in the Islamic Republic of Iran

Iran has undergone considerable social upheaval since the revolution and this has been reflected in its cinema. Drawing on first-hand interviews and detailed ethnographic research, this book explores how cinema is engaged in the dynamics of social change in contemporary Iran. The author not only discusses the practices of regulation and reception of films from major award winning directors but also important mainstream filmmakers such as Hatamikia and Tabizi. Contributing to ethnographic accounts of Iranian governance in the field of culture, the book reveals the complex behind-the-scenes negotiations between filmmakers and the authorities which constitute a major part of the workings of film censorship. The author traces the relationship of Iranian cinema to recent social/political movements in Iran, namely reformism and women’s movement, and shows how international acclaim has been instrumental in filmmakers’ engagement with matters of political importance in Iran. This book will be a valuable tool for courses on film and media studies, and will provide a significant insight into Iranian cultural politics for students of cultural studies and anthropology, Middle Eastern and Iranian studies
