Abstract Intuition is one of the characteristics of entrepreneurs and an important factor in the decision-making processes of entrepreneurs. In recent years, at the same time as the development of entrepreneurship as an interdisciplinary science, intuition and providing different definitions of it have not been noticed by researchers and researchers in this field, and many researches have not been written in this field. This is despite the fact that in other fields of humanities, especially management (with which entrepreneurship is closely related), basic sciences and even medical sciences, there is a suitable background and theoretical literature about this. On the other hand, it seems that the theoretical and epistemological foundations of this concept have not been researched as much as necessary in the few researches that have been conducted, and very little research has been done in this field. In this article, firstly, the definitions and researches about intuition are reviewed, and secondly, the little researches that have been done in entrepreneurship and its relationship with other sciences are discussed.

The COMPETITIVE POSITION of the destination brand is the provision of a framework by the destinations through which they can show their distinction from other destinations. Various aspects of tourism brands have been addressed in various studies, but the issue of COMPETITIVE POSITIONing of tourism brands has not been addressed. COMPETITIVE POSITIONing of a brand not only creates a positive image in the audience's minds towards competitors but also turns relative advantages into COMPETITIVE advantages, leading to development in various dimensions and identification. The purpose of this study was to present a model of the influential factors and consequences of the COMPETITIVE POSITION of the tourism brand in Gilā n province. It was a mixed-methods study in which the systematic model of data-based theory has been used in its qualitative part. In terms of the data collection method, it is field research. The research population included professors of management and geography and managers of tourism in Gilā n province. In the qualitative part, theoretical sampling was used as one of the types of purposeful sampling, and the number of samples due to theoretical saturation was 11 individuals. The results of semistructured interviews to develop a model of the COMPETITIVE POSITION of the tourism brand of Gilā n province by coding method showed that 321 open codes were identified and classified in 26 concepts based on Strauss and Corbin's (1998) approach in seven main categories, including COMPETITIVE sources, the COMPETITIVE POSITION of Gilā n brand, contextual factors, destination management, and POSITIONing and destination branding operations, intervening factors and consequences. Also, to measure the model designed in the quantitative part, the opinions of 169 managers, master experts, and experts in the field of tourism in Gilā n province were used. The results of this section also showed a good fit of the designed model with the obtained data. Other results showed that the key factor in POSITIONing the destination brand in customers' minds is the operations related to POSITIONing, branding, and advertising of that destination, and all other factors will be more noticeable with the correct implementation of this factor.

Competition law is a newcomer to the legal system recently. A sound understanding of competition policy can provide us with sufficient bases to apply a fundamental and normative view of the issues of competition law. The difference in supervision and regulation determines how the market functions and in order to understand this difference one must understand competition policy. Competition policy may be based on governmental support for national production and industry or on a non-interventional and regulatory posture. Moreover, supervision, based on the principle of non-intervention in the market mechanism, is rooted in liberal ideas; however, regulation, whether as a rule or an exception, is based on the assertion that the market has been ineffective in attaining its goals. Therefore, the government will resort to interventions to regulate inefficiencies.  This paper aims to analyze Supervisory Authority in Implementing COMPETITIVE Policy by employing the description method. In this article the author tries to first delineate competition policy, its related requirements and imposed deviations to the market. Then, by defining the supervisory entity and clarifying its distinction from the regulatory institutions, the author considers the characteristics of an appropriate supervisory entity conducting a comparative study of this issue in Iran and the U.S.A. This form of Competition policy because of its applicable experiences which have been well described by recent scholarship is considered suitable for the native system.

In the past years, a lot of studies have been conducted with regard to the organizational entrepreneurial orientation area. The overall results of these research projects helped organizational entrepreneurs discover the importance of some aspects, such as risk-taking, innovativeness and proactiveness. These aspects influence capabilities like learning and innovativeness and quality and, finally, lead to the sources of sustainable COMPETITIVE advantages. According to the relevant theories, a firm’ s achievement of COMPETITIVE advantage results in its successful performance. Therefore, an extensive review of the literature was conducted to determine the POSITION of organizational entrepreneurial orientation in achieving COMPETITIVE advantages. After held one focus groups meeting, six main factors of the model were identified. Method of interpretive structural modelling (ISM) was used to analysis the primary conceptual model. In this regard, designed questionnaire was distributed among the17 knowledgeable experts from the banking. The results indicated while organizational entrepreneurial orientation, available resources and environmental uncertainty constituted the foundations for fostering COMPETITIVE advantage in banking, organizational Entrepreneurial orientation has a direct and positive impact on banks' resources to turn them into COMPETITIVE advantage. Furthermore, bank size was the moderating variable in this model. The extracted model confirms the importance of organizational entrepreneurial orientation POSITION in commercial banks and asks of senior managers to pay special attention to this area.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is produced by the chromosomal translocation and fusion of bcr/abl genes. The purpose of this study was the development of a simple and low-cost technique for quantitative detection of bcr/abl transcripts in CML patients. This study, we used the COMPETITIVE RT-PCR technique to determine the number of bcr/abl transcripts. The internal control was designed from a non-human DNA source with the same flanking sequences but a smaller size than the target segment. After amplification and purification of internal control DNA, PCR products were quantified based on copy numbers. In order to optimize the reaction condition, COMPETITIVE RT-PCRs were carried out separately on target and internal control DNAs each with specific copy numbers, and final products of all concentrations were run on agarose gel electrophoresis.The simultaneous reactions of target RNA with different copy numbers of internal control DNA showed that the copy numbers of target RNA can be determined by comparison of dye density emission of DNA bands (target and control DNA) on the gel. This study shows that COMPETITIVE RT-PCR is a partially efficient and cheap method for quantitative determination of bcr/abl transcripts, compared to other methods such as Real-time PCR.

With the increasing advancement of digital technology, cookies have become an efficient tool for collecting user data and targeted marketing. The data tracked and collected through cookies enables businesses to provide more precise and efficient services and can pave the way for creating or stabilizing a dominant POSITION in the market. In addition to disrupting the flow of fair competition, these actions seriously threaten the dynamism and innovation of data-oriented markets. Therefore, the research seeks a clear answer to the fundamental question of how firms with a dominant POSITION can resort to abusive behavior and influence the COMPETITIVE structure of digital markets by using cookies. This research employs an analytical-descriptive method to examine the approach of European Union law and analyze the POSITION of Iranian competition law. In European Union law, this issue is assessed with a flexible approach based on protecting personal data and ensuring fair competition, but in Iranian law, due to the lack of comprehensive legal frameworks and weak supervisory mechanisms, the dimensions of this issue are still unclear. The findings from the comparative study show that a general rule is not available to determine the COMPETITIVE fate of these actions, and careful analysis is possible according to the requirements of modern technology and the continuity of creative activity. Therefore, it is proposed that, to strike a balance between maintaining competition in the market and the legitimate rights of service providers, specific competition regulations be enacted regarding the interests of innovation and technology markets so that they remain under the supervision of the Competition Council.

The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of COMPETITIVE intelligence on the promotion of packaging and brand POSITION with the mediating role of organizational performance. This descriptive-survey research is of correlation type with applied nature and in terms of cross-sectional time. The statistical population of this study includes all employees of Noavar Hava Engineering Company in Tehran. Using Cochran's formula, 152 people were selected as a statistical sample by simple random sampling. The research measurement tool is a questionnaire. Formal and content methods were used to measure the validity of the questionnaires and Cronbach's alpha was used to determine its reliability, which was estimated to be 0. 891. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the data and structural equation method with Smart PLS software was used to analyze the data. The results showed that COMPETITIVE intelligence has a significant effect on brand promotion with the mediating role of organizational performance in Noavar Hava Company. Also, COMPETITIVE intelligence has a significant effect on brand promotion and organizational performance. Therefore, tomorrow's success in business is one of those organizations that have more insight and awareness about themselves and the COMPETITIVE environment.

The purpose of this study was to compare the technique of taking cephalometric radiographs in Natural Head POSITION (NHP) with slightly changing of the head in the direction of flexion and extension (In the amount of 5 degrees.) 40 Cephalometric head films of 20 cases, all of whom were dental students, were utilized in this study.The cephalograms were divided into two groups. At first lateral cephalometric radiographs in NHP were taken from all of the cases, then another radiograph was taken in extended head POSITION (the head changed 5 degrees upward from NHP POSITION) from cases of group one, and in flexion head POSITION (the head changed 5 degrees downward from NHP POSITION) from cases of the second group. In this study 24 landmarks and 36 variable were evaluated.All radiographs were twice and data captured with a digitizer and computer. Evaluation of the results, which are shown in table I, revealed that 9 of the variable among 36 showed significant differences compared to NHP POSITION, and two of the variable was common between the two groups. However, 27 of the measurments didn't show any significant differences. Considering the fact that one fourth of the landmark measurments which were evaluated in this study showed significant differences during slight extension or flexion of head, taking of lateral cephalometric headfilms in NHP is recommended specially when they are to be used in serial studies or ar taken for research purpose.However, because other 27 measurment (which comprise three fourth of all the measurments) showed no significant changes, we concluded that lateral cephlograms which are not taken in NHP may be used for diagnostic and treatment planning purpose.
