Knowing the intentions of the enemy and what they decide to do, has always been one of the needs of policymakers in a country. Therefore, intelligence and security organizations responded by giving pre-event alerts to this issue as the most important factor in preventing a surprise, but to the extent that a timely warning can prevent damage and failure, it could cause greater damage in another process, such as deception. Although the error probability is a part of an alert and cannot be avoided assuming an error occurs, it is necessary to think about the necessary arrangements to manage the consequences of the false warning. Therefore, the main question in this article is how to manage the consequences of false warnings? In response to this question, the views of eleven intelligence and security elites and experts were purposefully sampled using snowball sampling and continued until theoretical saturation. These consequences were identified first and then in the form of four dimensions of knowledge, methodology, manners and insights in the warning system, necessary measures such as retraining and enhancing the skills of analysts, correction and reviewing the intelligence gathering process and analyzing it, reviewing and controlling analysts' mentality and assumptions, and other important issues presented to manage these consequences and in the conclusion part, its conceptual model is mentioned.

Teamwork is one of the most impressive benefits an organization or university can have in today's competitive and changing world. In the meantime, the need for teamwork in the university setting is more felt with regard to their teaching and research functions that require collective action and collaboration. Intelligence educational centers are more reliant on inner organizational human resources due to the specific missions and constraints available to provide educational and research resources and therefore, the use of teamwork to meet the goals in these centers is more visible than other educational environments. On the other hand, for any team to perform effectively, it must have the indicators to achieve its transcendent goals. The purpose of this study was to elaborate indicators of the effectiveness of work teams in intelligence educational centers using quantitative research strategy and descriptive research method. Document analysis and questionnaire were used as data collection tools. The researcher-made questionnaire with 29 indices was completed by 84 members of the statistical population after completing the experimental study. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test on the answers. For analyzing the research data, statistical tests such as Smirnov Kolmogorov, one sample t-test and Friedman variance analysis were used. "Rule of trust", "honesty and respect", "partnership", "team spirit and motivation", "strong and effective leadership", "team unity and commitment", "proper team arrangement" and "teamwork and team cohesion", in order of priority, are eight important indicators of teamwork effectiveness in intelligence educational centers from the perspective of statistical sample members

Intelligence activities of opposing intelligence organizations can affect the different aspects of security of the Islamic republic of Iran. One of these dimensions is the political security. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of counterintelligence organizations in providing political security of the Islamic republic of Iran. In this research, relying on library resources, it is attempted to first address the concept of counterintelligence and the tasks and functions of intelligence organizations in general and in particular in the Islamic republic of Iran, and then examine the political security and its components. Copenhagen school's views have been used to understand political security in detail. To this end, the components of political security associated with each of the functions of counterintelligence organizations were identified and its questionnaires was designed by the researcher and completed by 20 security experts and specialists and then using Friedman test, the ratings and importance of each of the functions of security organizations in the components of political security based on the Copenhagen school were explained by a descriptive-analytic method. Finally, the findings of the research indicate that security organizations have 9 functions and political security has 13 components. The function of coping with the influence of political currents was most important in internal legitimacy of the political unit, which largely relates to ideologies and other constructive ideas and defining issues of the government. The function of anti-subversive and riot against security is of the utmost importance in the violation of sovereignty, the function of prevention and countering the conspiracies of adversaries against the revolution and political system is of the utmost importance in disrupting the political body of the government in order to weaken it before military attack, the function of fighting with crisis is of the utmost importance in promoting separatism, the function of sabotage and riot against security is of the utmost importance in disrupting the political body of the government in order to weaken it before military attack, he functions of knowing the status of internal and external enemies and protection of information, intelligence, documents and facilities is of the utmost importance in the violation of sovereignty and finally the function of coping with dissatisfaction is of the utmost importance in the component of the sense of discrimination and inequality

One of the ultimate goals of the formation of the Islamic state is the realization of utopia as a base for its inhabitants to reach to the position of caliph of Allah and the ultimate closeness to God. The description of utopia is one of the categories that have been addressed by various scholars throughout the human history, in the form of concepts such as hayat tayebe (clean life), rational life, mahdavi utopia, modern Islamic civilization, and etc. In the meantime, the Islamic religion, which carries the teachings of revelation and rationality, depicts the desirable human hayat tayebe (clean life) and utopia with regard to the ultimate and intermediate purposes of the formation of the Islamic state. The Muslim utopian dynasty extends from Farabi to the Imams of the revolution era and contemporary scholars (the last 50 years) and will lead to the formation of a new Islamic civilization that rises from the sunrise of the absolute Islamic guardianship. On the other hand, the security systems of dystopia (secular civilization) are trying to form dystopia by adopting offensive approach and updating their intelligence skills with the help of new security tools, and also by infiltrating and disrupting the elements of utopia. In this paper, the author collected data by utilizing documental studies (books, articles and … ) and employs descriptive-analytical method to analyze data. The research results shows that for creating utopia, intelligence – security systems must prioritize their intelligence and security efforts to develop the biological (environmental aspect and inhabitants) aspects of utopia in order to achieve a modern Islamic civilization and with the management of human and capital resources have an intelligence confrontation with dystopian society by an offensive approach in the form of defensive security activities.

The Patterns of stabilizing national security have become so widespread in contemporary times that the importance of other paradigms has become less prominent and other dimensions, particularly the economic and even cultural dimension of national security, have become increasingly important. An important gift brought by scholars of the Copenhagen school of security studies for modern day civilization was the spread of the idea that in the national and international domain of security, merely emphasizing on military function is changed and other aspects of security should also be considered. It is on the basis of this shift in security productive approaches that the Americans do not necessarily seek military confrontation to jeopardize the Islamic republic of Iran's national security. As the Iran's supreme leader says "Americans are afraid of direct military conflict with Iran and their chamber of economic warfare with the system of the Islamic republic of Iran is the United States of America's Treasury department". Therefore, considering resistance economy as the empowering strategy of national security is necessary. Resistance economic is an approach to tackle economic sanctions and a strategy for times when a country's exports and imports are restricted. In this paper, firstly, scientific texts and library and documentary methods are utilized for data collection, then to evaluate and complete the results, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) questionnaire was used and also hierarchical analysis utilized for weighting and determining the importance degree of each of the indicators. According to different viewpoints and in order to improve national security, different indicators can be defined as indicators of resistance economy, but the four main and important indicators identified in this study are: law refinement, media measures, procedural reform, budget reform and administrative system. The results showed that the indicator of media measures had the highest weight among the indicators for transforming the resistance economy issue into "national discourse” .

Selection of decent and capable individuals for key positions and attention to the principle of merit selection in the distribution of power and division of duties and responsibilities among the elites of society, in addition to contributing to the growth, progress and stability of the country, is a code of the success and survival of the rulers. Choosing the decent individuals in the administrative system is a form of management in which personnel are employed for their individual competence and merits. The purpose of this study is to investigate the job position of employed personnel of the Islamic revolutionary guard corps (IRGC) based on individual characteristics as well as the use of data mining to predict the job position of new employees. For predicting the job position of each employee, after preprocessing steps, personnel's characteristics are supervised based on five machine learning algorithms and after analyzing them, the accuracy of each one of these algorithms is compared to be used in a recommender system. The decision tree algorithm is introduced with 97/90% classification accuracy as the best data mining algorithm in a recommender system for predicting the appropriate post of each employee, and also, on that basis, the Naive Bayes algorithm is the most inappropriate algorithm for this purpose. The value of the present study is that based on personal information, characteristics and competencies, determines the job position of current or new personnel and in this approach, relation is not preferred over specialty, education or other important individual characteristics. Also, utilizing algorithms that are mentioned in this article leads to optimal organization of personnel in a way that each person would be organized in the most appropriate Job position with the least error.
