Information Management in universities and academic environments has been a critical issue for their managers in recent years. Some infrastructures like academic websites suggested solutions but they had other problems such as out of dating information. Therfore, many universities have developed information management Systems for managing their intellectual properties in recent years. Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM) has established its Institutional repository named SAED since 1385 (2006). The purpose of this research is assessing SAED from technical aspects. Evaluating research and case study were selected for implementing the research. Data collection tool was a checklist which was constructed by this researchers. Findings revealed that SAED is at average level from technical aspects. But content management and accessibility aspects reduce the usefulness of the System. So, user-centered approach must be applied for improving it. Though archiving and System support are in suitable situation, but increasing users and data might make a challenging situation for it in the future.

Governance refers to the set of laws, rules, processes, and mechanisms through which social relations are managed and organized. Social institutions, as stable structures shaped by beliefs, values, norms, and social traditions, play a fundamental role in guiding and regulating social interactions. This study examines the Prophetic model of governance based on an Institutional System. The central hypothesis is that whenever the teachings of the Noble Qur’an, in accordance with the Prophetic Sunnah and with the broad acceptance of the Muslim ummah, are implemented in practice, a network of social institutions grounded in those teachings will emerge, and Islamic governance will be realized through the interconnectedness of those institutions. Following a conceptual analysis of the terms governance and institution, this research adopts a historical-sociological approach to analyze the model of Islamic governance during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The findings of the study reveal that the Prophet, through the promotion of Islamic social traditions, reformed or established institutions such as the family, education and purification, the mosque, jihad, endowment (waqf) and charitable giving (infāq), enjoining good and forbidding wrong (amr bi-l-maʿrūf wa nahy ʿan al-munkar), Friday prayer, pilgrimage (ḥajj), and others. All of these institutions, under the divine leadership of the Imamate, guided social behavior and interactions toward the realization of ḥayāt ṭayyibah (the good life) and worldly and eternal well-being. Thus, Islamic governance, grounded in divine laws and principles, is manifested through processes and mechanisms operating within the dynamic interplay of elevated institutions.

The current research aimed to explore application of social network theory toward sustainable aquaculture System through Institutional Scientific Collaboration Network study conducted by interviews with key informants and follow-up organizational surveys at Alborz Watershed scale. The study was descriptive and explanatory, using social network analysis as a most analytical tool to Systematically describe certain aspects of the social diversity and complexity of Institutional scientific collaboration network. The needed data for social network analysis related to scientific collaborations in the form of research and scientific consulting, technical support, and implementation of joint project networks and was collected through a questionnaire. Research results revealed that the number of central actors in research and scientific consulting network was less than the other two networks. In this study, some powerful organizations such as the Institute of Ecology of the Caspian Sea and Shahid Rajai and Shahid Bahonar Reproduction Center had satisfactory research and scientific consultancy cooperation, as well as technical support for joint projects with other organizations, such as the Provincial Department of Fisheries, and Research Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources, which reflected dynamics of the organizations in the network. These three organizations can play a key role in the distribution of information, knowledge, and intersectoral cooperation among different institutions and can take responsibility of this process. If so, these organizations can develop a sustainable aquaculture in the basin of the Alborz Dam, based on scientific principles and in an interactive and dynamic path and, consequently, activate the implementation of projects and conducting scientific and executive studies by these organizations within the network. Although the approach is developed and tested using empirical social network data in the basin of Alborz watershed, the results can generally be useful for other regions and scales as well. Also, research finding could help in improving sustainable management through strengthening of intuitional scientific collaboration network and providing better understanding of the scientific needs and real interactions of diverse actors.

Introduction: The health System as the main custodian of health in Iran has a history of nearly a century and during this period has witnessed many changes to the current form and structure. This study aims to investigate the factors affecting the formation and evolution of the health System and the policy-making process in it with an interdisciplinary perspective. Method: The research has been conducted in a historical way and historical texts about the health System and its sub-sectors including health care and education have been reviewed and analyzed with an Institutionalist approach. Findings: The government, civil society, private sector, family and international institutions have been the main agents of health policy in Iran from the beginning until now, which in the context of situational, structural, cultural and external factors have directed the health System and its developments in Iran. They have been effective. Discussion: Although the government has been the main agent of health policy in Iran from the beginning, but many Institutional factors have been effective on its efficiency and performance in the field of health, and this institution needs more serious attention to community elements to formulate health policies and pave the way for social justice. Civility and the characteristics of families and leaving matters to the private sector, and in this way interaction with international institutions and the use of their experiences, especially in the field of health is of particular importance.

This study explores the motivational components within teacher rating Systems and their impact on professional growth motivation. Employing a Systematic review approach, it investigates texts pertaining to teacher rating Systems, motivation, and professional development literature. By examining various texts and research findings on teacher motivation, factors influencing teacher ratings based on general, specialized, and professional competencies, as well as experience, are identified. Drawing parallels with Herzberg's motivational theory, this study provides recommendations to bolster teacher motivation and job satisfaction through improvements in the rating System.

The growing role of science and technology in economic development makes the necessity of policymaking and planning for the science and technology System more important. In line with centralized, top-down planning approaches to science and technology policymaking, the spatial planning approach is a bottom-up effort to identify regional capacities and potentials in order to provide an endogenous and balanced model for the development of science and technology. Although the spatial planning approach in its general form has a multi-decade history in the planning literature, the optimization of this approach in the science and technology governance needs methodological innovations. The purpose of this study was to provide a science and technology spatial planning methodology using Institutional mapping. To this end, we used two cross-sections. On the one hand, we took into account innovation within a regional System, and on the other hand, we adopted the Institutional mapping to attain a method for its analysis and estimation. In this System, first the institutions of the science and technology institution including the science institution, the technology institution, and the market institution were identified, and then the interconnection capabilities of these three institutions and their subsidiaries were evaluated. This was done through the extraction of the similarity graph. The similarity graph, which was obtained through the quantification of binary relationships of the science and technology System sub-institutions, expressed the diversity and intensity of the connections of each institute with other institutes. The more diverse and intense the relationships among the institutions were in general, the more optimal the science and technology System would be. Ultimately, observing this graph, the policymaker can design a scenario for moving toward regional balance for each of these institutions so that in the predetermined chronological horizons, the Institutional proximity is increased and the agreement and accord of the institutions are enhanced.

Banking stability is considered as one of the most important economic topics of every country. Increasing share of private banks is a factor which can influence banking stability. This paper investigates the relationship between increasing share of private banks and banking stability across different levels of Institutional quality in Iran and using unbalanced panel dataset. Accordingly, the generalized method of moments and a panel smooth transition regression model were used to estimate. The results obtained through the generalized method of moments indicated that increasing share of private banks, is negatively associated with bank stability. Furthermore, an improvement of the Institutional quality can reduce the adverse influence of increasing share of private banks on bank stability. The results obtained through the use of the panel threshold regression model further revealed that Institutional quality has a threshold value which can affect the relationship between share of private banks and bank stability.
