Der Artikel von Ursula Baatz untersuchte die Möglichkeit interkultureller Beziehungen zwischen verschiedenen Ländern anhand von Beispielen aus der fernen Vergangenheit und unserer Gegenwart. Laut dem Autor gehörte Goethe zu den Beispielen, die ein Publikum suchten, das unabhängig vom kulturellen Dogmatismus zum Osten sprach, und deshalb schrieb er den West-östlichen Divan in der Zeit populärer nationalpatriotischer Gedichte. Diese wertvolle Sammlung zielt eindeutig darauf ab, die westliche und die östliche Kultur zusammenzubringen.Die bilateralen Beziehungen zwischen Ost und West haben in vielen Perioden zum Aufblühen der menschlichen Kultur geführt. Doch seit dem 19. Jahrhundert, insbesondere nach der Kolonialpolitik und der Ausweitung des Geistes der Industrialisierung, kam es zu einer unangenehmen Konfrontation über diese Beziehungen. An diesem Punkt wird der „Andere“ als Untergebener betrachtet, der nicht die Begabung hat, Erleuchtung anzunehmen. In einer solchen Situation zerstört die Herrschaft des ideologischen Denkens die kulturellen Beziehungen zwischen den Nationen, und leider hat das Ausmaß solcher destruktiven Gedanken das 20. Jahrhundert erreicht, das in verschiedenen Formen anhält und erneuert wird.

Within the last few decades the conception of research engagement has been widely considered vital in teachers’ professional development. The literature is replete with numerous arguments both about the benefits of doing and reading research and the reasons for doing so. Within these discussions, however, the opinions of teachers are mostly ignored or reflected only circumstantially. The present study was conducted to investigate the reasons for which Iranian English teachers engage in research. First, a provisional survey questionnaire was designed, using experts’ opinion and a comprehensive review of the related literature. The instrument was then validated through conducting exploratory factor analysis on teachers’ responses to the survey instrument. Analysis of the results showed that teachers’ reasons and motivations for research engagement can best be categorized in four groups: benefits for professional development, instrumental and personal motivations, organizational expectations, and pedagogical benefits. Subsequent analyses also revealed that research engagement among Iranian English teachers is mainly shaped for personal and professional reasons. The findings point to the importance of developing a holistic perspective toward educational research in order to promote research engagement, making it a sustainable path to professional excellence for language teachers.

Today's organizations are not superior in terms of technology and product differentiation due to rapid changes and intense competition. Meanwhile, the main factor of their success is their human resources. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of brand orientation on customer orientation and employee behavior. The statistical population of this research is all employees of sportswear stores in Mazandaran province. According to Morgan's table, the sample size was equal to 67 people. The sampling method of the present study was a simple random sampling. Then, data has been collected using a questionnaire tool. Using convergent validity, the validity of the research was confirmed. Its reliability was confirmed through Cronbach's alpha test. In this research, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine the normality of the data distribution. The path analysis method was used to test the hypotheses. Data analysis has been done using Excel software and SPSS and PLS software. The results of this research showed that brand orientation has a significant effect on employees' customer orientation and brand-oriented behavior of employees. Employee customer orientation has a significant effect on employee customer orientation behavior. Finally, the customer-oriented behavior of employees has a significant effect on the brand-oriented behavior of employees. It is suggested to the managers and officials of the country that by raising the needs and problems of the customers from the employees in their organization and answering the customers' questions correctly and trying to influence the customers by providing them with the desired information in order to help the customers to achieve their goals. have the necessary

Since ancient times, human identification has been of paramount importance, and various methods have been employed to achieve this goal. Over time, advancements in science have mathematically and scientifically proven the uniqueness of fingerprints, making them the most common criterion used by identification systems today. The Qur’an, in many verses, addresses the concepts of the afterlife, the resurrection of the dead, and the accounting of human actions. A fundamental requirement for this accounting, whether for reward or punishment, is the accurate identification of individuals. In verses 3 and 4 of Surah al-Qīyāmah, God emphasizes the precision of human recreation, even down to the restoration of banān (often interpreted to mean fingertips). The primary objective of this research is to answer the question of whether the restoration of banān in the afterlife can be interpreted as the restoration of each individual's unique fingerprint. Employing a descriptive-analytical approach and an interdisciplinary perspective, this study examines the correlation between Qur’anic concepts regarding the restoration of banān and scientific findings in the field of biometrics, particularly fingerprints. Historical records indicate that fingerprints have long been of interest to humanity; however, the mathematical and empirical proof of their uniqueness was not established until the 17th century. The findings of this research suggest that by referring to the  restoration of  fingertips, the Qur’an has  drawn attention to a feature that, while its intricacies were apparent to people at the time of its revelation, was not fully understood in its unique nature. In other words, God has alluded to a unique feature whose complexity and difficulty of restoration were comprehensible to the people of that era but have, with scientific advancements, become the most common and accessible biometric method in the world today.

This study examined the translation of Quranic metaphors based on Mandelblit’s (1995) Cognitive Translation Hypothesis (CTH), including a metaphors translation model, summarized as three plans: (a) similar mapping conditions (SMC) with the same or similar wording in translation, (b) SMC but with different wording in translation, (c) and different mapping conditions (DMC). Forty-three Quranic metaphors and their translations by Saffarzadeh (2001) and Arberry (1955) were selected randomly and explored to see in what plan their CTH Quranic metaphors could be placed and how they translated them. Twenty-one metaphors turned out to be SMC and 22 were DMC. Twelve metaphors could be SMC and were rendered in similar wording, four could be SMC and rendered literally by both translators, three metaphors could be SMC and translated in similar wording by Saffarzadeh, three could be SMC and were translated literally by Arberry, and no SMC metaphor to be translated in different wording by either. Also, out of 22 DMC Quranic metaphors, 21 were rendered literally by both translators and one in different wording by both. It was concluded that SMC and DMC conceptual metaphors in Arabic-English conceptualization exist in the Quran, and similar conceptualizations facilitate metaphor translation, while differences can do the opposite.

The present study explained the role and responsibility of parents and schools in the sexual education of children through library studies and qualitative-descriptive research methods in this field. Child sexual education requires parents to know when, what and how to pass it on to their child. Some parents think that it is better to keep the child away from any sexual issues so that sexual thoughts do not develop in their minds, but sexual questions inevitably arise in the minds of children and the ignorance of parents and their inability to answer some questions of children cause children to get confused about sexual issues. Therefore, the most important issue for them is to grow up in a safe environment physically, mentally and emotionally. In the meantime, due to the prevalence of abnormalities and widespread factors that make sexual deviations more and more widespread, it is the suitable implementation of sexual education methods that requires children to be raised in a healthy environment based on religious supervision and education. Employing such methods also guide their sexual instincts in the right direction, and protect them from all kinds of abnormalities such as masturbation, thirst, oral and verbal sexual abuse, prostitution and pornography that lead to sexual perversion and harm.
