Purpose: The notion of “gender segregation” in the universities has often been challenged with different concurring and opposing theories. The issue has been further highlighted in Farhangian University. Although all the qualifiers in this university, prior to and during admission process, have been cognizant of such gender segregation, some elicit resistive responses pursuant to admission and passing some semesters, and then they present their commentary on the relevant implications. The present research seeks to investigate the consequences to gender segregation form the students’ perspective. Methodology: By applying a semi-standard interview and a purposive-qualitative procedure, an in-depth interview was performed on 33 students studying at least 5 semesters in the university, and the interview was terminated based on theoretical saturation. For data analysis, grounded theory was applied. Finding: The research findings were divided into 18 principal categories, and the category “dubiety (Tashkik, in Islamic Terminology) over gender segregation” was semantically reconstructed. The consequences of the dubiety were categorized in the two groups including consensus and inconsistent (i.e. contradictory) consequences. Conclusion: In the end, the research findings were presented in the form of a researcher-made model.

This paper examines intergenerational transmission associated with population dynamics from sociological approach. The discussion is based on the analysis of observations in a country that has experienced substantial changes in family formation resulting in one of the world's most spectacular falls in women's birth rate ever experienced in human history: Iran. Facing fundamental historical experiences and substantial socio-cultural changes over the past decades, the context of this study acts as a unique ‘social laboratory’ to survey the intergenerational comparisons. The results of this analysis show substantial intergenerational transmission, which provide new evidence to support Sauvey's (1978) and Weeks's (1994) socio-demographic investigations in some other developing countries

Purpose: Attention is a significant factor for the learning process, and it may affect the degree and efficiency of student’s learning and their teaching. Methodology: Therefore, the present paper aims to examine the effect of the fluctuations in daily and weekly rhythms, and chronotype (morningness-eveningness) on the attention performance of preschoolers. The research’s methodology is a causal-comparative one. The statistical population includes 100 preschoolers in Tehran who were selected by purposeful sampling. They were tested in different hours of day (8, 11, 13, and 15) and weekdays (Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday). Findings: The data were analyzed by mixed analysis of variance. The results show that preschoolers’ performance is different for different days of week and hours of day (p<0.01). |and in comparison with the attention performance of evening and intermediate types, that of morning type shows no significant difference in educational environment during day and week (p<0.01). Discussion: The practical implications of these findings for the planning of school schedules are benefit.

Abstract Purpose: Although, several studies have been conducted on the concept of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and its relationship with health promotion of the administrative system, organizational spirituality as a factor affecting organizational citizenship behavior has been less considered in organization and management literature in recent years. The study aimed to investigate the organizational citizenship behavior by health promotion of the administrative system, "issued by Supreme Leader", considering the mediating role of organizational spirituality to present a desirable pattern. Accordingly, while reviewing the theoretical literature, their respective variables and scale, the overall framework of the study was formed. Methodology: This is an applied study in terms of objective and descriptive-correlational in terms of nature. The statistical population of this study were all staff of state-owned organizations of Kerman province in 2016-17. Sampling was done by two-stage cluster sampling method. Organizational citizenship behavior inventory 0.77 and organizational health 0.73 and organizational spirituality 0.90 were used to collect data. For analyzing the data, descriptive and inferential statistics (correlation test and structural equation modeling) were used and data were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. Findings: The results showed that the interpersonal citizenship performance model, job citizenship performance, organizational citizenship performance, and the health promotion of the administrative system, "issued by the Supreme Leader", have a goodness of fit given the mediating role of organizational spirituality. Discussion: One of the areas of management that can have a great deal of spirituality is organizational citizenship behavior management whose purpose is to help change the behavior of individuals in the organization and thereby achieve operational goals in an efficient and fast way.
