Purpose : The current research was conducted with the aim of validating the structural model of open data governance in line with the health of the administrative system in e-government in government organizations. Method : This research, with a practical purpose, was based on a descriptive survey implementation method. The statistical population of the research included the managers of the country's tax affairs organization and several university professors, all of whom (18 person) were selected as a statistical sample. The data collection tool in this research was a researcher-made questionnaire, and confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and Smart PLS software were used for data analysis. Findings : The results of the research show that the structural model of open data governance in the direction of administrative health in e-government at governmental organizations includes six components: platforms (with the dimensions of intra-organizational platforms and external platforms), strategies (with the dimensions of common strategies—internal and external—, intra-organizational strategies, and extra-organizational strategies), intervening conditions (with common dimensions—internal and external), causal category (with dimensions of internal-external organizational factors, individual and social factors), central category, and consequences (with common dimensions—internal and external). Conclusion : Intra-organizational and extra-organizational platforms have a positive and significant effect on common strategies. The strategies of this research have a positive and significant effect on the results. The impact of intervening conditions on the central category is positive and significant. The effect of the causal category of this research, including individual factors and social factors, on the central category, is negative and significant because the regression coefficient has become negative. The impact of the central category on strategies has become negative, but this impact is not significant.

Karbala city is destination of millions of pilgrims from all over the world every year. Therefore, this research has assessed strategies for developing religious tourism in Karbala city, with an emphasis on improving the pilgrims' experience and exploiting the economic and social capacities of this city. First, indicators related to religious tourism infrastructure were identified, and then their impact on the pilgrims' experience was analyzed using statistical methods. Data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire, which was used to examine its validity from the specialists and experts in quantitative and relative content validity coefficient, and to examine its reliability, was used Cronbach's alpha. The statistical sample includes two groups, 19 people in the qualitative section and 550 people in the quantitative section, selected using convenience sampling. Data analysis includes initial coding, classification, extraction of indicators and variables, descriptive and inferential statistics such as one sample t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. Results showed residence index with the maximum mean and minimum dispersion indicates the its importance and diversity for pilgrims. The recreational and commercial services index with the lowest mean showed less importance. Correlation results indicate a positive and significant relationship between the attraction index and other indicators at the 0.001 level, which shows that as tourist attractions are strengthened, other services and infrastructure are equally effective in improving the pilgrims' experience. Results of compare means between pilgrims and local residents showed in the catering service and residence indexes, mean of rank pilgrims (253.21 and 254.49) are higher than local residents (239.65 and 234.55) at a significance level of 0.398 and 0.215, respectively. As a result, improving tourism infrastructure, accessibility and improving the quality of recreational and medical services can lead to increased pilgrim satisfaction.

Social justice in the modern state is among those concepts whose essence and implementation are difficult to trace historically, particularly in Islamic history and the conduct (sīra) of the Infallibles. Understanding concepts such as the state, democracy, and social justice from religious foundations is itself a formidable task. The challenge becomes even greater when this complex notion of social justice is further subdivided into more specific domains, such as cultural justice, and examined through the lens of the conduct. This study aims to analyze Imam al-Riḍā’s activism in promoting cultural justice through a descriptive-analytical method. His engagement appears to be explicable across three main areas. First, the debate between agency and structure within justice studies can be specifically traced in Imam al-Riḍā’s conduct. Notably, he not only advanced justice through individual actions but also created structural opportunities, having directly entered existing structures. Second, cultural diversity—recognized as a pillar of cultural justice—is evident in his practice. Third, in the tension between teleology and deontology within cultural justice, teleology holds a distinguished position in Imam al-Riḍā’s conduct. This article elucidates these three dimensions.

This study explored the impact of critical pedagogy training for IELTS teachers on their students’ self-regulated learning. It also examined the relationship between students’ self-regulation and their IELTS performance, as well as how teachers implemented critical pedagogy principles in their classrooms. A mixed-methods research design was used, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. 30 IELTS teachers and 150 learners from a language school in Tehran were recruited based on non-random convenience sampling technique. Teachers received training in critical pedagogy, after which learners completed a self-regulation questionnaire both before and after the intervention. Language proficiency was assessed using two official IELTS mock tests. Classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers provided qualitative insights into instructional practices. Results showed that learners whose teachers received the training had significantly higher self-regulation scores post-intervention compared to a control group. A positive correlation was found between self-regulation and IELTS performance. Observations and interviews revealed that trained teachers used more dialogic, student-centered methods that promoted autonomy and reflective learning. The findings suggest that critical pedagogy training can effectively enhance both learner autonomy and exam preparedness. These results have implications for improving teacher education and classroom practices in high-stakes language testing environments.

The university is the mirror of the whole view of development and progress of society and provides the platform for human growth through the transfer of science to students. As a service organization providing its budget from students' fees, the Islamic Azad University is required to know the cost of the services it provides to its customers. Therefore, the present study designed and developed a model for calculating the cost of each student in Islamic Azad University of Kermanshah using time-driven-activity-based-costing (TDABC). The obtained results show that the capacity cost is the same in each field. This result indicates that in case of using a time-driven activity based costing in the field of Education Deputy, the practical capacity is the same as the nominal capacity. The results indicate that time-oriented costing indicates loss of energy and time in the university. Based on time-driven costing, costs are lower than actual costs. This shows that the university should be able to reduce student costs and increase quality in exchange for planning and decision making correctly and in a timely manner in order to be more successful in attracting students.
