Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most important causes of mortality worldwide, and their prevention needs recognition of the factors affecting its occurrence and prospective planning. The aim of this study was to identify and rank the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases using MICMAC managerial approach. Methods: The present study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular disease risk factors was performed. In the second phase, the identified factors were ranked using MICMAC managerial approach. Results: In the literature review, 16 cardiovascular diseases risk factors including stress, anxiety and depression, nutrition and an unhealthy diet, low physical activity, smoking and drug consumption, hypertension, high blood lipids, overweight and obesity, age, gender, diabetes, family history, alcohol consumption, air and noise pollution, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and race and genetic factors were identified. According to the MICMAC approach and direct effects, three factors including unhealthy diet, obesity, and socioeconomic status were ranked first to third, as the most influential risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, respectively. Conclusion: According to the findings and focusing on the three factors of unhealthy diet, obesity and economic and social status, appropriate educational interventions, notification, and awareness raising among the community using the mass media are suggested.

The aim of this study is the future of economic lifestyle of families in Iran. Due to the economic turmoil of the last few years, this issue has been considered. After reviewing the economic lifestyle of families in Iran and reviewing the research background, 14 experts were interviewed. Theoretical saturation method was used as a standard for end sampling. Among the findings, 26 factors were identified as the most important factors in realizing the lifestyle of families. The mentioned factors were structurally analyzed using Micmac software. Influencing and influencing factors were identified and ranked directly and indirectly, and the most important ones were presented as the main drivers. In the research findings, among the main drivers, ten two-way variables were identified as the key drivers that had the least impact and the most impact on family lifestyles. Then, the two-dimensional variables were entered into the Wizard scenario software and two favorable scenarios and one unfavorable scenario were obtained.

This study examined the barriers to adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) in desalination supply chain (SC), a sector increasingly seen as vital for tackling global water scarcity. Despite AI’s proven ability to improve efficiency, sustainability, and decision-making in complex supply chains, its implementation in desalination systems encounters formidable challenges. Through a comprehensive literature review and expert consultations, sixteen barriers were identified and analyzed structurally using the MICMAC approach. The results showed that four factors are the most influential barriers and serve as bottlenecks for successful AI adoption: lack of funding and capital, lack of standardization and interoperability, shortage of specific skills and talent, and data privacy and security concerns. The present study emphasizes the need for integrated strategies that include financial support, common standards, skill development programs, and strong data protection frameworks. It also highlights the importance of collaboration among governments, private sector stakeholders, and research institutions to overcome systemic obstacles. The findings may not only offer insights into the key drivers of AI implementation in desalination but also provide a roadmap for policymakers and industry leaders aiming to develop more resilient and sustainable water management systems.

Many villages in the developing countries are faced with the exodus phenomenon and related physical damages. On the other hand, many cities face issues such as increasing population density, increasing consumption, decreasing moral commitments in the interactions, and so on. Both these scenarios do not make the desired vision for urban and rural settlements. Therefore, it is necessary to consider an appropriate and effective approach to preventing the inappropriate changes in these settlements. The creative village approach seems to result in an endogenous development for some villages. Therefore, it has been considered by many Iranian rural planners as a fit approach. Thus, the main goal of this study is to determine the key factors of the creative village approach in Iran and present a comprehensive definition of the creative village expression. Our findings showed that the theory of creative village has a triple structure consisting of pillars, requirement, and indexes. Its structure includes 15 components and 49 indicators. The highest score of “creative class immigrants to the village” is 0.087452, and the lowest score related to “communication with relatives” is 0.035478. It was also found that the “vision” factor with an intensity of 9 was the most effective key driver of creative village, followed by “risk” with an intensity of 6, “village space” with an intensity of 6, “partnership” with an intensity of 4, and “rural communications” having an intensity of 2.

Mental health disorders pose a significant threat to human well-being, particularly affecting urban populations. Despite the paramount importance of addressing urban mental health, effective strategies for improvement remain elusive. This concern has garnered heightened significance in Tehran, a city with a pressing need for viable solutions. This research aims to identify key strategies to enhance the mental health of the city. Employing a descriptive-analytical research method, the study utilizes content analysis and structural analysis to pinpoint crucial solutions. The findings reveal that three primary strategies — the formulation and execution of a comprehensive mental health plan, the integration of aesthetically pleasing urban design to promote mental well-being, and the adoption of innovative approaches such as mobile health programs and online services — are deemed pivotal variables. Consequently, the implementation of these solutions holds the potential to significantly enhance urban mental health in Tehran.

This research is aimed at designing a training and instruction model for regional commanders in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (as an example of institutional managers) by employing an interpretive structural modeling questionnaire. Hence, 40 questionnaires were distributed among the academic and organizational experts with considerable experience in the field of command and control in the IRGC. Ultimately, 32 questionnaires were collected back and were analyzed and interpreted by structural interpretation method and matrix analysis of MICMAK through the use of MATLAB software. The result of the research resulted in a 6-level model, the main foundations of which were organizational systems and culture, professors and instructors at the second level. The background, the form and instruction instruments as well as time, environment and the elements of instruction and training are placed at the next levels. Finally, the students occupy the last level as the complementary to this model. Furthermore, cluster analysis revealed that 5 components including professors, instructors, content, systems and culture are the most effective factors compared to other concepts and components of instruction and training.

Tehran, the 200-year-old capital of Iran, is a young city with a complex political and social structure compared to many other cities in the country. Therefore, creating a sense of place and the formation of social relations in this metropolis has faced complexities, and the partisan and modernist view of urban planners has reduced the sense of belonging in the residents and, consequently, has reduced the vitality of this city. In the comprehensive plan for organizing and developing cultural spaces in the metropolis of Tehran, an area called the cultural zone of Tehran has been determined. The purpose of choosing this zone was to give the Tehran Space Organization an outlook for the development of cultural spaces. The boundaries of this zone are designated in accordance with the natural-historical structure of Tehran and is located in the north-south and east-west. Using the combination of three models – Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), Micmac, and Topsis– this paper attempted to prioritize attention towards the factors influencing the sense of place based on the views of experts and residents of Jamaran cultural tourist zone, an area located in the cultural zone of Tehran. The results of the interpretive structural modelling in 5 stages showed that the most important factor that influence the sense of place is the concept of territory. This was determined based on the first stage questionnaire of Delphi from the perspective of urban planners and design experts. Based on the output of the Micmac model, in explaining the sense of place in the cultural zone of Tehran, three categories of "drivers", "dependents" and "autonomous" was identified but there was no "linkage" factor. At the end, in order to provide suggestions and prioritize attention towards the sense of place in Jamaran cultural tourist zone, the overall result of the three models was used, and it was found that the top priorities that needs attention to enrich the sense of place in the study area, are the sense of presence, level of security, the concept of territory, and social amenity.

Therefore the purpose of this research is Understanding the psychodynamic approach in qualitative performance of auditors through grand analysis is the theory and analysis of polar matrix to determine the most influential factor in the formation and promotion of psychodynamics in auditors in the context of the Mick Mac diagram. The research methodology is a result of developmental research, a goal of exploratory-applied research and Mix method. The statistical population of the qualitative study included 14 accounting professionals selected through theoretical sampling, interviewer selection criteria, professional experience in auditing, both from the perspective of academic education and from the perspective of financial statements, But in a small section 23 of the Court of Auditors, based on the experience and technical knowledge in terms of sampling selected to fill questionnaires and participated matrix. The method of data collection was based on qualitative methodology through the analysis of the grounded theory which was collected by conducting the necessary data interviews and after coding the research model was designed based on the theoretical framework. Then, finally, in the quantitative section, pairwise and diagonal comparisons between the inertial components were performed in several steps to produce a Micmac analytical graph. Also, the results in the quantitatively determined section of the construction, the most influential factor in the formation or promotion of psychodynamics in auditors, is the set of job factors that through negative impact on job incentives, play a role in the development of psychodynamics in auditors' qualitative functions.
