Objective: This study aims to support Iran’s transition to renewable energy by identifying optimal sites for renewable power plant deployment in Kerman province. The aim is to design a decision-support framework incorporating stakeholder values and dynamic system behaviors to guide policy and investment under multiple scenarios. Methods: An integrated Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) and Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) framework was developed. Phase 1 involved interviews with 15 experts (engineering, economics, and environmental science) to derive stakeholder values, translated into criteria like solar radiation, ecological sensitivity, cost, social acceptance, and grid resilience. Legal/environmental filters narrowed 39 locations to six feasible sites. Phase 2 employed ABM to simulate interactions among suppliers, government, and consumers under three policy scenarios: (1) limited local sales, (2) guaranteed government purchases, and (3) competitive energy market sales. Results: The simulations demonstrated that Scenario 3 (energy market sales) resulted in the highest levels of energy output and job creation, particularly at high-potential locations E and F. The model also highlighted how adaptive financial mechanisms, such as targeted subsidies and tax incentives, can shape investor and supplier behavior in favor of sustainable deployment. Conclusion: The proposed VFT-ABM framework offers a flexible and context-sensitive tool for renewable energy planning in decentralized systems. It effectively balances economic, social, and environmental goals and can be replicated in other regions facing similar energy transition challenges. Strategic policy design, especially market-driven approaches coupled with incentive structures, is critical for mobilizing private sector participation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of yoga exercises on fatigue, balance, muscle strength and neurological disorders in women with multiple sclerosis. This was a semi-experimental study, for this purpose, pre and post-test study design (experimental group and control group) were used. 42 women with MS in Khomein city participated in this study and divided into two control (age: 33.3±6.2, height: 164.6±4.4, weight: 71.1± 7.3 and BMI: 26.4±2.9) and experimental group (age: 38.3±4.5, height: 160.8±7, weight: 68.5±14/6 and BMI: 26.4±4.8). The exercises were based on cognitive therapy based on mindfulness and yoga exercises, which was an 8-week program (3 sessions of 60 minutes per week). A quesinnaire, Berg balance test, Standing stork test, Tug, chair test and neurological disorders test were used to collect data. Kolmogorov Smirnov, dependent and independent t test, and Cohen's D test were used in the SPSSV25 software environment to analys data. Level of significant was 0.05. The findings of this study showed that yoga exercises leads to reduce fatigue level(P≤0.05), improve static and dynamic balance (P≤0.05), increase lower body muscle strength (P≤0.05) and leads to decrese neurological disorders (P≤0.05) in women with MSm(P≤0.05). In conclusion it can sugusted to trainers and MS patients' authorities to utilize this method in to minimiz balance problems, improve strength, endurance and also nurological disorders of affected individuals. Thi sapproach can be considered as a new method in their rehabilitation exercise program

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.

Safavid Isfahan (1501–1736) has long been celebrated for its monumental mosques, palaces, and gardens, yet scholarship has often privileged domes, façades, and ornament while neglecting the interstitial spaces that mediate between them. This study addresses that gap by examining the formative role of thresholds, corridors, galleries, gardens, and terraces in structuring experience and constructing architectural identity. A qualitative methodology was adopted, combining a systematic literature review, semi-structured interviews with eight leading scholars of Iranian and Islamic architecture, and detailed case analyses of the Imam Mosque, ʿAlī Qāpū Palace, and the Chahār-Bāgh School. Thematic coding of expert testimonies, triangulated with architectural evidence, revealed six interdependent domains of interstitial design: geometric order, spatial hierarchy, environmental intelligence, socio-cultural practice, sensory–spiritual orchestration, and political–aesthetic representation. The findings demonstrate that in Safavid architecture, interstitial spaces were not residual connectors but polyvalent instruments that simultaneously organized movement, moderated climate, encoded hierarchy, and materialized cosmological and ideological meanings. These results reframe Safavid design as a grammar of thresholds in which form, function, and symbolism are fused. Beyond historical insight, the study underscores the continuing relevance of interstitial design as a model for integrating climate, community, and cosmology in contemporary architectural practice.

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.
