Le Corbusier's Domino system, introduced in the early 20th century, marked a turning point in modern architecture by proposing a modular framework based on slender columns and reinforced concrete slabs. This structural innovation facilitated standardization, industrialization, and rapid construction, influencing landmark projects such as Villa Savoye and the Pessac housing complex, as well as later mass housing developments. Despite these advantages, limited research has critically examined the relevance of the Domino system in light of contemporary architectural and environmental standards. This study aims to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the Domino system within its historical context while exploring its potential adaptability to present-day needs. The research employs a descriptive approach to explain the system's conceptual features, an analytical approach to assess selected case studies, and a comparative approach to measure its performance against current architectural criteria. Data sources include scholarly literature, visual and graphical documentation, and environmental records, enabling both historical and technical analysis. Findings reveal that the Domino system significantly contributed to the rationalization of building processes and provided a foundation for prefabrication and modular construction. However, its emphasis on structural regularity often resulted in spatial monotony and insufficient responsiveness to cultural, climatic, and ecological factors. The study highlights the importance of integrating adaptive strategies, sustainable materials, and advanced technologies. Contemporary tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), parametric design, and modular prefabrication can reinterpret the Domino framework, ensuring flexibility, contextual sensitivity, and ecological performance. By bridging historical innovation with modern requirements, the Domino system demonstrates enduring relevance when reimagined through contemporary architectural practices.

Introduction and Objective: A growing body of research has highlighted that the capability for organizational learning is the singular competitive advantage that enables organizations to thrive in today’s turbulent environment. The primary objective of this study is to design a conceptual model for leading learning organizations within higher education institutions in Fars Province. Research Methodology: This research is developmental in nature, employing a qualitative design through thematic analysis and semi-structured interviews. Participants were selected using purposeful sampling and the concept of theoretical saturation, resulting in a sample of 25 faculty members and specialists in higher education. To obtain the credibility and validity of the data, two methods were used: participant review and expert review by non-participants in the research. Reliability was determined using the Holistic coefficient, which was found to be 0.87. To achieve transferability, interviews and consultations were conducted with 25 specialists, and to ensure dependability, all details of the research were meticulously recorded at every stage. Findings: The research findings indicate that the conceptual framework for learning organization leadership in higher education institutions in Fars Province encompasses four main dimensions: structural perspective, which includes flexibility, simplification, decentralization, and technology focus; contextual perspective, featuring policy-making, network expansion, strategic thinking, and culture focus; transformational perspective, characterized by leader mentorship, customer orientation, team trust, Magnificent Leader, and leader pragmatism; and knowledge-centered perspective, which supports knowledge production, knowledge sharing, and a belief in science. Research and Conclusion: Identifying the key components influencing leadership in learning organizations within higher education institutions is essential. By prioritizing these elements in the strategic planning of higher education management, it can pave the way for a broader adoption of this leadership style nationwide.

Today, electric energy is a strategic energy carrier in infrastructure, essential for sustainable growth and development in various dimensions of societies. Simultaneously, the scarcity of primary resources and the increasing demand for energy, while considering the rights of future generations, emphasizing the importance of enhancing performance excellence and promoting a spirit of responsibility. This research introduces a developed value-based performance excellence model with a sustainable electricity supply chain approach. In this model, theme analysis is utilized to extract indicators that represent effective components within the organization, categorized as organizational capabilities. Confirmatory factor analysis is employed to assess the validity and reliability of criteria and sub-criteria. To demonstrate the model's efficiency and explore the relationship between organizational capability criteria, organizational focus and the stability of the electricity supply chain, a comprehensive study was conducted in companies within the three sectors of electricity production, transmission and distribution in Iran. The findings underscore the significance of considering all three sectors' efficiency when examining the relationships between organizational capability, organizational focus and sustainable development.

The purpose of this study was to provide a long-term plan for developing the basketball at university of Isfahan, Iran. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to collect and analyze the research data. Interviews and expert council meetings were used to collect the research data. The research participants included university basketball experts and coaches. Experts were purposefully selected to reach the theoretical saturation (16 experts).  The research instrument was an open questionnaire. The logical induction method was used to analyze the required data in the quantitative part of the situation assessment and strategic action matrix. To analyze the required information, the Strategic Position and Action Assessment Matrix (SPACE) and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) were used in the quantitative part, and the logical inductive method was used in the qualitative part. The strategic approach of the basketball based on the situation assessment matrix and strategic action was placed in the offensive position. In general, managers can use the present programs to set the major goals as the priorities and provide the conditions for achieving the determined goals in developing university basketball.
