After any maritime accident the first location for emergency contact is the nearest maritime search and rescue region. The center is responsible for actions such as search and rescue, medical assistance, prevention of marine pollution and maritime safety control in the region. So it is necessary to identify and prioritize effective factors in the success or failure of maritime search and rescue operations. This article is a descriptive-survey to identify factors affecting the maritime search and rescue operations and then rank them using the hierarchically technique. The results showed that among 5 groups associated with search and rescue equipment, manpower, maritime activities, relevant agencies and laws and regulations related to search and rescue equipment of the highest priority in the success or failure of search operations and sea rescue exercise.

IRI Navy battle flotilla always faced with many problems in order to accomplish their long sailing missions. So in these conditions, enhance employee productivity is a fundamental and decisive factor in the successful accomplishment of the long sailing missions by the flotilla. The main objective of this paper is to determine the factors affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of battle flotilla staff in long sailing missions. This applied research method is correlation. This article was written with descriptive-analytic approach. data was collected from 55 people who have participated in long sailing missions. Data were collected through performance questionnaires and reliability obtained by Cronbach's alpha coefficient formula was calculated 86/0. To study the relationship between independent variables and the dependent variable, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient was used. The results showed a continuation of a system of efficiency and effectiveness requires measures such as the use of motivational factors, human resource development with the implementation of quality education and applying the right leadership style. Our findings also at the level of one percent error (a=0.01) showed that there is a significant correlation between the factors influencing the efficiency and effectiveness of battle flotilla staff in long sailing missions.

Knowledge is detected source of fundamental changes and knowledge creation is essential in the community development. With help of the faculty members, higher education institutions can play important role in this field. This study aimed to identify factors affecting the knowledge creation of faculty members. The study was done with qualitative method and phenomenological approach. Participant were selected with intensity sampling and snowball sampling. Data collection tool was semi-structured interview and thematic analysis was used to analyze the interviews. The findings suggest that factors affecting the knowledge creation of faculty members can be divided into two groups: individual factors and contextual factors. Individual factors are inherent characteristics, interest in knowledge, mastery of knowledge, personal experiences, concern about community service, imagination, spirit of inquiry, defamiliarization, positive perfectionism, academic identification, critical thinking, professional growth, scientific resilience, Pen, morality. Contextual factors are education, community expectations, academic freedom, knowledge resources, time and financial opportunities, reward system, scientific community. Based on the performed analyzes, individual factors are more effective than contextual factors and improvement of many identified individual factors are achieved in the education.

The purpose of this study is to present a new method of weighting and prioritizing and quantifying the effect of interaction theories with globalization from the education experts' point of view. The population of this study were MA students who are teachers. They were the masters of Islamic Azad Universities of western Mazandaran in education science faculties of which 140 were selected for the sample using stratified random sampling method. The study instrument was a research made questionnaire that was designed based on the Likert scale and fuzzy quantitating. Entropy modeling and decision-making "phase analysis" were used to analyze the data and weights of interaction theories with globalization, have been identified and prioritized based on their weight. The findings showed that the cage theory has the greatest weight and the theories of tree, crystal, DNA, fungi, amoeba, were from the most weight to the lowest weight. The results of entropy showed that based on contributors' point of view, the education system policy makers use the cage theory more than others currently and to interact with globalization and reduce its negative effects, they use a framework to protect and filter global knowledge which are characteristics of the cage theory.

The basic objective of this study was to mediate the relationship between organizational intelligence, knowledge management and organizational effectiveness at Ports and Maritime Organization of Tehran Province. The population of the research were the staff in the PMO of Tehran.257 employees were selected through random sampling. A questionnaire consisting of 42 questions of knowledge management (Sales and Jones, 2002), with leadership and management, teamwork and learning communities, knowledge sharing, knowledge creation, digital justice, ideas and mission, strategy, culture, intellectual capital, organization learning dimensions (a=0.87) and to measure organizational intelligence, a questionnaire of 49 questions (Albrecht, 2002) and dimensions of strategic vision, shared fate, appetite for change, spirit, unity and agreement, application knowledge and performance pressure (a=0.90) was used and to assess organizational effectiveness a questionnaire with 28 questions (Parsons, 1979), and the dimensions of (adaptation or innovation), (organizational commitment or target acquisition), (job satisfaction or unity), (organizational health or maintain the pattern) (a=0.83) were used. Processing of the data using structural equation modeling showed that the mediation role of knowledge management in the relationship between organizational intelligence and organizational effectiveness is approved. This means that the emphasis on knowledge management and its compliance from organizations causes the effect of each of the variables of organizational intelligence and organizational effectiveness on the successful implementation of the other in the organization.

This study was conducted with the aim of pathology research at the Imam Khomeini Maritime Science University as the center of thinking and development of the IRI Navy. This study, regarding the purpose and method is practical and data collection was through researcher made questionnaire.Validity and reliability of the questionnaire was approved. The population of study consisted of 70 masters of Imam Khomeini University and 59 of them were chosen through simple random sampling based on Cochran formula. But researchers increased the sample size to 64 people in order to avoid subject subtraction.And finally because of 15 distorted questionnaires, the number of valid ones was reduced to 49 people. Data analysis was done through using t-test and TOPSIS multi-criteria decision-making algorithm. The results showed that human, structural, cognitive and communication factors were effective on research quality and the importance of these factors has high impact on some options and they should be addressed to avoid the research damage formation.
