The widespread phenomenon of ‘retranslation’ that has become prevalent in the world refers to subsequent translations of a text or part of a text, carried out after the initial translation that introduced this text to the ‘same’ target language. Translation Studies scholars have strived to formulate hypotheses for re-translation. In 1990, Berman put forward the Retranslation Hypothesis in which he hypothesized that the earlier re-translations of a work depart from the source language and are more in line with the target language and culture over time. This hypothesis, in some cases, has been confirmed or partially confirmed, and in some others, disapproved. Thus, to confirm or reject the Retranslation Hypothesis more significantly, and push it forward to theorization, it must be (re)examined in different languages. Therefore, this study aimed to revisit the hypothesis by examining the Persian re-translations of the novel The Little Prince. The results of the study were largely in line with the hypothesis and proved that earlier translations follow more closely the norms of target language and culture, and later ones are closer to the source text and culture. The study ultimately serves as another piece of the puzzle for the Retranslation Hypothesis to approach a theory.

Purpose: The present study aims at analyzing the content of work and technology curriculum in the junior high school. Methodology: A qualitative and applied research method was used, which was performed based on the content analysis. The statistical population consisted of work and technology curricula of the junior high school in the academic year 2019-2020, which were examined without sampling. The data collection tool was a triple list designed based on the goals of economic-professional education set out in the fundamental reform document of education. The collected data were analyzed using Shannon entropy software. Findings: In this software, the frequency of each data unit was identified, its indices of descriptive statistics were extracted and the importance coefficients of each of them were reported. The data in this study was in the form of themes, photos and learning activities. Therefore, data analysis was performed by using descriptive statistics indicators and their quantitative analysis. The results showed that the rate of emphasis on economic-professional education in work and technology curricula in each of its eight goals was as follows: understanding professional skills 0.99, professional ethics 0.066, entrepreneurship 0.053, avoiding unemployment 0.052, observance of productivity 0.040, commitment to ethics and values 0.039, wealth development 0.038, business laws 0.032, economic justice 0. Conclusion: The content analysis of the work and technology curricula of the first year of high school showed that the understanding of professional skills in the seventh grade was 46.6%, in the eighth grade was 75.4% and in the ninth grade was 61.5%

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to present a model of factors affecting organizational vitality in public organizations (case study: public organizations of Mazandaran province). Methodology : This was an applied and quantitative study. The study population included employees of public organizations in Mazandaran province in 2019, 246 of whom were selected based on Cochran's formula and using cluster sampling method. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire on barriers to organizational vitality and were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modeling in SPSS and Amos software. Fidning s: The results showed that the barriers to organizational vitality included nine factors, 49 components and 120 concepts. The management factor includes five components, the individual factor includes six components, the organizational factor includes six components, the economic factor includes seven components, the political factor includes five components, the physical environment factor includes five components, the religious-value factor includes six components, the technological factor includes four components, socio-cultural factor includes five components. Besides, the factor loading of all 49 components was higher than 0.40 and the reliability of all nine factors was higher than 0.70. Also, all nine factors had a positive significant effect on barriers to organizational vitality so that the individual and political factors had the greatest and the lowest effect, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusion : The results of the present research have practical implications for experts and organizational planners, and can help them design and implement programs to reduce barriers to organizational vitality
