Purpose: While it is true that concern should be expressed with the incessant conflicts in Africa, it is also true that the ramifications are very wide. One recurring conflict in the 1990s Nigeria’s educational institutions is the conflict generated among rival cult groups that seemed to defy solution. Several students and, in some cases, lecturers have lost their lives yet there seems to be no end to these killings which seem to occur unexpectedly. Methodology: Applying a sub-cultural group theory, this article analyzed the prevalent factor responsible of this phenomenon. Starting with the analysis of the relations between what it takes to survive in Nigeria and the emergence of violence on campuses of institutions of higher learning, the article suggests that the failure of higher institutions to effectively perform its integrative role, thereby becoming a space for delinquent gang groups, may be connected to failed economic policies. Findings: it argues that it may not be totally true to call the various students groups involved in the on-campus conflict ‘cult’ as their activities and rituals are devoid of any spiritual or religious elements but more about contestations about space and survival. It concludes by suggesting some probable solutions. Conclusion: the educational institution needs to rethink the curricula in relation to the survival of the society wherein what is taught is not based on ‘individualistic but communal virtues.

Purpose: The ability to manage conflict plays an important role in the teaching profession.

The research population included secondary school teachers of North Khorasan province in the academic year of 2018-2019. A total of 17 people were selected by purposive sampling method and according to the theoretical saturation, and were subjected to semi-structured interviews. Content validity and reliability was 0.86 based on the expert's opinion and 0.93 using inter-rater agreement coefficient. Open, axial and selective coding methods were used for data analysis. Findings: Data analysis led to the emergence of 209 primary concepts and 18 secondary concepts in 5 categories for the conflict management model based on the professional experiences of secondary school teachers in North Khorasan schools. The categories include active coping (with 5 secondary concepts of problem solving, information acquisition, seeking social support, negotiating and technology management), passive coping (with 5 secondary concepts of acceptance, emotional adjustment, keep work and home life separate, reframing and avoidance), reinforcement and management of relationships (with 4 secondary concepts of strengthening interpersonal communication, meeting expectations, paying attention to emotional needs and creating fun and entertainment), strengthening religious beliefs (with 2 secondary concepts of resorting to spirituality and developing morals and values) and developing personal growth (with two secondary concepts of self-analysis and going beyond personal needs).

Conclusion: According to the concepts and categories identified for the conflict management model based on the professional experiences of secondary school teachers, they can be used to improve conflict management and improve the position of the organization.

Purpose: Today, with the transition from the industrial economy to a knowledge-based economy, the economic value of the human resource in the organization is more evident than ever. Human resource accounting is a relatively new approach to calculating the value of human resources as a part of the organization's capital and assets. This study aimed to identify the components of human resources valuation and design the employee valuation pattern in the country's banking network based on the human resources accounting approach. Methodology: The study was conducted using a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative) in three consecutive phases. In the first phase, the components affecting the human resources valuation process were extracted through the content analysis of related studies. After extracting the general components, initial interview questions were formulated using them. In the second phase, additional components and indicators were identified through semi-structured interviews with elites and informants in human resource accounting. In the third phase, using quantitative methods, the validation and ranking of the components were done. Finally, the valuation pattern of the country's banking network employees was formed. Findings: The final pattern included a total of 36 components in four categories: individual and personality characteristics (11 components), professional qualifications (9 components), social capabilities (7 components), and organizational costs (9 components). Conclusion: The proposed pattern in this study can provide the possibility of a multi-faceted valuation of the banking network employees in Iran due to the coverage of a wide range of components affecting the valuation.

Purpose: The aim of this research was identifying the components of the integrated curriculum of arts education from the perspective of specialists, managers and graduates. Methodology: The present study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was qualitative. The research population was the curriculum experts included of specialists, managers and graduates of Farhangian University in 2020 year. The research sample according to the principle of theoretical saturation was considered 28 people who after reviewing the inclusion criteria were selected by purposive sampling method. For data collection were used from take noting and semi-structured interviews methods, which its validity was confirmed by the triangulation method and its reliability was confirmed by the agreement coefficient method between the two coders (r=0.76). Finally, the data were analyzed by content analysis method with a deductive approach. Findings: The findings showed that the integrated curriculum of arts education from the perspective of all three groups of specialists, managers and graduates were included three dimensions of cognitive, skills and attitudinal and emotional competencies, which the cognitive dimension included the specialized knowledge of the integrated curriculum of arts education, general cognitive competence and general knowledge, the skills dimension included the specialized skill of the integrated curriculum of arts education and general skill and the attitudinal and emotional dimension included the attitudinal competence of the integrated curriculum of arts education and general attitudinal competence. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, curriculum specialists and planners for design an integrated curriculum of arts education needed to that considers the three dimensions of cognitive, skills and attitudinal and emotional competencies and their components

In the qualitative part, the data were extracted by the Delphi technique and semi-structured and structured questionnaires; and the 120-item researcher-made questionnaires in the quantitative part and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. The content and construct validity of the questionnaires was confirmed. Reliability and composite reliability (CR) were also confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient 84%. Descriptive statistics (mean, variance, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Friedman test) were used for data analysis. Findings: The results showed that the model of problems of the system of recruitment, retention and training of human resources has 6 organizational (internal), environmental (external), occupational, individual (personal), governmental (political) and cultural-social dimensions and 30 components. Conclusion: The results of the quantitative part showed that all dimensions of the research model were confirmed.
