Any thought about civilization is based on intellectual foundations which are the pillars of civilization and in which humans as those who build civilizations set the regulations and form the processes. All of the Muslim thinkers have considered civilization and Ayatollah Khamenei as one of these thinkers and one of the distinguished world leaders has paid serious attention to Islamic civilization and its principles and has tried to realize modern Islamic civilization. Confirming the roles of thought basics in the realization of the modern Islamic civilization, the current research focused on an important factor in doing research on civilization so that we have a right view of the topic and can exploit it in the planning for state-and community-building with a civilization orientation. The current research aims at explaining the thought foundations of Ayatollah Khamenei’ s modern Islamic civilization. The research findings show that thought foundations of Ayatollah Khamenei’ s modern Islamic civilization is ontologically based on monotheism and is epistemologically a mixture of narration and reason. These foundations focus anthropologically on human dignity and theologically on happiness and attaining happiness in this world and the hereafter. This research employed a qualitative discourse analysis method and data were gathered using documentary research method so that the main thought foundations of Ayatollah Khamenei’ s modern Islamic civilization are extracted from his speeches and writings.

Organizational culture is an issue that has been newly introduced into the field of social sciences in general (including sociology, psychology, management, economics, etc. ) and organizational behavior specifically. This issue is of great importance in I. R. of Iran due to the high value of culture. This type of culture is purposeful and guiding and inspires the other layers. Therefore, it is natural to be sensitive to the organizational culture underlying all organizations and specifically the police force organization. This article aims to develop strategies for enhancing organizational culture according to the Iranian-Islamic model. The data for the current research were gathered by a mix method study through both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The identification of the current status of NAJA culture, its strengths and also identification of opportunities and risks are among the topics dealt with in this study. The results show that the organizational culture of NAJA is a religious one. This organization is also influenced by lawful organizational culture and idealistic culture can be traced in NAJA as well. However, NAJA is far from a transcendentalist and transformational culture. The identified strategies for enhancing organizational culture are of three types: 1) focusing on promotional, educational and training activities; 2) process improvement; and 3) structure improvement.

The Second Step Statement of the Islamic Revolution was issued by the Supreme Leader in 1397, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution victory. Given the legal compliance of NAJA with the commander-in-chief and its main strategy to establish order and security, to secure public and personal comfort, and to protect the achievements of the Islamic Revolution, research into the role of the police in fulfilling the objectives of the Second Step Statement is essential. In this research, the content of the Supreme Leader’ s views in the Second Step Statement of the Revolution have been analyzed using qualitative paradigm and the content analysis research method, and the data were divided into five categories: revolutionary system, territorial integrity, economical security, Jihadist management and modern Islamic civilization. Next, the subcategories were extracted from the statements of the Supreme Leader from 1368 to 1398 in the form of 453 brochures and the data were analyzed using Maxqda10 software and coding method. After that, the 447 speeches of the Supreme Leader on NAJA were analyzed and a number of subcategories were extracted using futuristic perspective to reconstruct NAJA architecture. Based on these speeches, the indicators were categorized and their semantic system was identified using Ferrakloff model. Finally, based on these indicators, NAJA architecture to play an effective role in modern Islamic civilization was reconstructed and TOGAF and E2AF organizational architecture methods were employed to put forward some suggestions about the possible ways of reconstructing NAJA architecture based on the Second Step Statement of Revolution

Borders in each country are very important because of their different roles and functions such as economic, military, social, political functions and the roles of separation, integration and communication. It is important to carefully consider the management of this part of the country. As borders in each country are influenced by the cultural, social and political conditions of that country, the management model must also be a native one which takes into considerations the cultural and social conditions of that country. The purpose of this study is to develop a jihadist management model in border management so that this model can be used to manage the borders in a better way. Method: The method used in this research is a mix method study (consisting of two types of qualitative and quantitative studies) with sequential heuristic approach. In the sequential heuristic approach, first, qualitative data and then quantitative data are collected and analyzed. Qualitative phase has usually priority, and quantitative data are used to enhance qualitative ones. Conclusion: In this research, experts prioritized dimensions according to their importance as follows: knowledge dimension, organizational dimension, acquisition dimension, mission dimension, and field dimension. As stated above, knowledge dimension received the first rank and field dimension ranked the fifth. Finally, according to the experts’ views, the most important indicator in mission dimension was advisory structures indicator, in acquisition dimension was the behavior of Jihadist managers, in organizational dimension was having a team spirit, and in the field dimension was work conscience.

Organized crime is one of the most important transnational social harms that threaten human societies in the current era. This crime is committed by criminal groups that have 3 or more members and usually have a hierarchy, division of labors and continuous criminal activities to achieve an ultimate goal that is obtaining a financial benefit, and the last feature distinguishes these types of activities from terrorist ones. The wordings of the legislator in Article 130, 1392 of Islamic Penal Code support the view that to consider a person as the leader of a criminal group, a crime must happen but not necessarily by the leader. Three members is necessary to form a criminal group from the moment the criminal group is formed until the crime is committed. If the leader commits criminal behavior according to the purposes of the group, then the punishment of the leader shall be determined according to the rule of multiplicity of the offenses.

One of the factors causing traffic violations and accidents is not paying attention to the traffic rules which will vary depending on the cultural, social, economic and geographical context of societies. The high rate of traffic violations and the resulting accidents in Iran have led to irreparable damage, and human factors are the main cause of these violations. The aim of this study used data mining approach to strategically analyze drivers’ traffic violations and their relationship to their personal characteristics and certification centers. This research is applied in terms of its goals and employs discourse analysis method. The data were gathered from the driving issuance and traffic police databases from 1395 to 1396 in Tehran. The data were analyzed using Association Rules Mining method. The most important extracted rules show: 1. there is a meaningful relationship between drivers’ age and education and their driving violations. According to the data, the most frequent driving violations are related to male drivers who have high-school diploma and are 20 years old, 2. the most frequent driving violations are related to no entry violations, and 3. there is a link between some drivers’ traffic violations and some driving education schools. Most of the above-stated rules are acknowledged by traffic police, and the results are consistent with theories about the causes of traffic violations. The present study considered the variables affecting driving violations and concluded that it is possible to plan the teaching method for the applicants of driving license according to above rules.
