The purpose of this study is to design the conceptual model of the phonetic members of the faculty of Iranian public universities with the approach of interpretive structural modeling. This research is descriptive-survey in terms of purpose and qualitative-quantitative method. In the first, a semi-structured in-depth interview based on snowball sampling was performed using a qualitative method to achieve an interpretive structural model. The number of 15 interviews was theoretically saturated according to the work experience and the level of familiarity of the experts with the subject. Using coding, the dimensions and components of faculty members' voices were extracted. In this section, the approved components in the questionnaire of interpretive structural equations were presented to the experts in order to achieve a comprehensive model of the voice of the faculty members of Iranian public universities. In the quantitative part, to validate the obtained model, a questionnaire of 38 researcher-made propositions with a Likert scale of five was used, the validity of which was confirmed by the convergent and divergent validity method and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha. The statistical population of this section includes 90 faculty members who have at least 5 years of executive experience in strategic planning at their university and have published at least one article in the field of staff voice. The sample was calculated for structural equations based on Cochran's formula of 73 people. Data analysis was performed using Smart PLS 3 software. The results of the qualitative section identify ten dimensions of organizational structure, managerial behaviors, group and team, atmosphere and phonetic environment, legal factors, human resources, personality, cultural factors, conflict and communication, and communication as dimensions of faculty members' voices.

The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the structural and functional damage of higher education in the country. The method of this research has been applied in terms of its purpose and it has been qualitative exploratory type in terms of data collection. The statistical population of this study was the higher education scholars, faculty members and PhD students at Allameh Tabataba'i University. In this research, a purposeful snowball sampling method was used.

Collected information was categorized and analyzed using content analysis method. According to the findings of this study, the identified Higher Education Injuries in Iran were identified and categorized in two levels: micro and macro. At the micro level, factors such as teacher, student content, facilities, and at the macro level, factors such as the lack of university autonomy, the problems of the student admittance system, The gap between education and higher education is too much in theory and ignores practical lessons; the lack of participation of faculty members in curriculum development, inappropriate status of the article, and dissertation writing were analyzed.

The increase of marine power importance in recent decades, on one hand, and the geopolitical economic, security, political, access, regional and international communications, tourism, defense, and deterrence of Makran beaches, on the other, have provided special and potential capabilities for Iran. However, identifying and activateing these capacities requires careful and specialized studies. In this regard, this study was conducted with the aim of developing strategies to promoting the role of Makran beaches and identify the requirements for its realization in the defense deterrence of Iran with emphasis on marine science education strategies. In terms of aim, this research is an applied-developmental and a mixed research in terms of the type and method of data collection. In the qualitative part of the research, interview tools were used and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. The results indicate that the factors and components affecting Iran's defense deterrence are summarized in six categories, which are: Natural, human, economic, cultural and social, international politics and military factors. The findings also showed that 13 strategies are of particular importance in promoting the role of Makran beaches in Iran's defense deterrence, among which the military fleet strength strategy (moving to the ocean navy) is in the first place. Additional results showed that 2 of the 13 explained strategies are related to the expansion of marine training and research.

Naval Force is a long-standing term carrying its own implications in both war and peace times. In Western exploitive countries, naval force is one of the first military sections ever formed, and it has played the most crucial role in invading other parts of the world. The power of a nation to use seas and oceans to its advantage, and to withhold foreign invasion, and to take advantage of such privileges at the time of peace or at negotiation tables is what we call "naval force". This paper presents a thorough analysis of five parameters of power of the naval force of the IRI, namely: man power, operational power, geographical location, information and software power as well as support power to withhold foreign aggression and promote capabilities of the IRI naval force. Using a descriptive research method and through collecting nominal data from library resources as well as field research (based on Likert Questionnaire), attempts have been made to identify, classify and clarify the parameters involved. Through collecting experts' opinions, the Reliability of the questionnaire was found to be 0. 9 after which the questionnaire was distributed among 64 commanders of the military and revolutionary guard forces, whose answers were then collected and analyzed using Alpha Cronbach at 0. 903 level of consistency. SPSS 26 showed that the five factors above are effective in increasing the withholding strength of the naval force. These factors are listed in order of the amount of their influence, and advice has been made as to how the IRI should place implementation of the above factors in its agenda.

The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying and prioritizing the factors of infrastructure and process affecting the undergraduate education of AJA officer universities. This research is based on the purpose of "applied research" and based on the nature of the type of "descriptive-survey" and has a "mixed" approach. The statistical population of the research, according to the inquiry, includes 108 professors of Imam Khomeini Naval Academy. They are accepted as a sample population by stratified-random sampling method. In order to collect the data needed to compile the research literature, "library studies" using "Taking notes tools" and in order to collect real data, "field studies" using "semi-structured interviews" and "closed questionnaires" were used. They have been validated by experts in terms of appearance and content in terms of clarity and unambiguity of the items as well as the adequacy of quantity and quality. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0. 921 and Re-test Reliability of the interview test was 79%, which indicates acceptable reliability. By analyzing the qualitative content of the interviews, 67 themes were identified based on which a questionnaire was prepared and distributed and the data extracted from it were analyzed using "one-sample independent t-test" using SPSS software. According to the obtained results, 35 themes were introduced as effective infrastructure and process factors and in the end were prioritized using "Friedman test", among which "the use of simulators, workshops and laboratories in training" was identified as the most important factor affecting education.

The main purpose of this study is to present and explain the model of electronic human resource management. According to the studies conducted in the literature review section and conducting interviews among experts, which included 31 senior managers, the indicators of electronic human resource management were identified. The use of fuzzy Delphi method and calculations of agility, foresight and technical support indicators were eliminated and other indicators were approved. According to the approved indicators, the relations between the variables were examined using exploratory factor analysis. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed in accordance with the identified components and distributed among the statistical sample including 234 managers and experts in total. The country has a history of more than 10 years, by extracting the set of primary factors, variance of eigenvalues, rotation and final selection of factors, the relationships between indicators and components were determined so that by determining factors that are statistically based on factor load of close numbers to each other were identified as components of the main indicators. According to the identification and determination of relationships between indicators and components using confirmatory factor analysis, the fit of each dimension was analyzed and finally a suitable model was obtained to manage electronic human resources.

ESP (English for Specific Purposes) courses, as an important part of the English language teaching field, has always been of interest to researchers. These courses are integrated with the needs analysis processes. Analyzing the needs of language learners can provide teachers and educational planners with the appropriate ideology for preparing and developing educational materials appropriate to the specialized needs of the students. To this end, the present study was an attempt to develop a needs analysis questionnaire for the Deck Engineering cadets. Convenience sampling was used to select the statistical population, and 350 Iranian male cadets of Imam Khomeini Naval Academy at B. A. level of Deck Engineering were selected as the participants of the study. In order to analyze the initial questionnaire, the factor analysis method was used, as a result of which 7 items were omitted from the 51 items of the first draft. The developed questionnaire included a total number of 44 items categorized into three groups: Skills, Functions, and Maritime. The research findings demonstrated that Deck cadets emphasized the development of their specialized language skills, as it enabled them to perform better in their specialized field. According to the results, it is obvious that needs assessment and needs analysis in the ESP courses is an important issue that can be applied in different fields and in accordance with the educational and non-educational goals of students.

Since the very beginning of the outbreak of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the resulting disease (COVID-19) in the country, the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran including the Navy, in accordance with the Supreme Leader's decree to respond to the spread of the highly contagious virus initiated fast and outstanding measures.
