A B S T R A C TSatisfaction is considered one of the effective methods for evaluating the success of urban development plans AND projects, AND it is a tool to measure which type of housing AND residential environment meets the needs, expectations, AND aspirations of residents. This article aims to compare Amiriyeh AND Pay-eToop neighborhoods in Bojnord city in terms of residents' satisfaction with living in these neighborhoods. Using a questionnaire, the data was obtained by a survey from 229 heads of sample households living in Bojnoord city. The residents' satisfaction is analyzed by 26 indicators set as home AND neighborhood indices. The data is entered into SPSS software to run the One Sample T-Test AND calculate statistical parameters. Also, the data is entered in Arc GIS in accordance with the UTM coordinates of the responder's locations to provide a GIS point layer to use zoning maps to be drawn. Residential satisfaction is lower than average AND slightly higher in Pay-eToop than in Amiriyeh. Also, the average score of the indicators that are set as home indices is lower than those for neighborhood indices. The zoning maps indicate that most parts of the neighborhoods show an average level of satisfaction with housing, AND the maps of different indicators are not much different from each other. The role of physical indicators in low satisfaction is much more significant than social indicators. To improve satisfaction, paying attention to the neighborhood regeneration AND improving the housing quality is necessaryExtended AbstractIntroductionSatisfactory housing is one of the most valuable aspects of life AND one of the main elements of people's living stANDards. The higher the level of satisfaction with a PLACE, the more people will feel a sense of belonging to that PLACE AND feel more relaxed about being there. The feeling of satisfaction from a PLACE can cause the positive effects of the PLACE in the PROCESS of relationships in which the environment is being formed AND carried out. On the one hAND, satisfaction measurement is considered one of the effective methods of evaluating the success of urban programs AND plans. On the other hAND, it is a tool to measure which type of housing AND residential environment currently meets its residents' needs, expectations, AND aspirations. MethodologyThe residents' satisfaction is analyzed by 26 indicators set as home AND neighborhood indices. A questionnaire gathers the data. Household heads in the studied neighborhoods (Amirieh AND Pay-e Toop) are rANDomly selected as 229 sample people. The sample people evaluate the items in the questionnaire in a 5-range of the Likert scale from very high to very low. The qualified range was then changed to quantified scores from 5 to 1. Afterward, they were entered into SPSS software to run the One Sample T-Test AND calculate other statistical parameters. The address of each respondent is included in the questionnaires, AND based on the address, the UTM coordinates of the respondent are determined using Google Earth. Then, the information from the questionnaires is entered into the GIS according to the coordinates to provide a GIS point layer for drawing zoning maps. Results AND discussionThe score of 2.75, which is the average figure of the evaluation scores for all the indicators of both neighborhoods, indicates that residential satisfaction is lower than the assumed average score (3). The average scores are 2.90 AND 2.57 for Pay-e Toop AND Amirieh neighborhoods, respectively, AND they indicate that the residential satisfaction in the first is slightly higher than the other. Pay-e Toop is the oldest neighborhood in Bojnoord, which accommodates the traditional complex of shops (Bazar) AND essential physical elements of historical eras, such as the city's citadel. In addition to the high proportion of immigrants, it also includes deep-rooted AND native families that have strong social relationships. Also, the average score for the neighborhood indices is slightly higher than for the home indices. The average figure for all 26 indicators is lower than the assumed average score (3) AND indicates a lower residential satisfaction. Five indicators with the higher satisfaction score are as follows: relationship with neighbors, living in the ancestral neighborhood, the situation of streets AND ways, living with relatives, AND the quality of wastewater disposal. On the contrary, lower satisfaction scores belong to the indicators of access to shopping centers, healthcare service centers, the size of homes, AND access to public transportation, respectively. Despite the fame of the gardens of Bojnord in previous centuries, in recent decades, most of the gardens disappeared, especially in the city's central business district, which corresponds to the two studied neighborhoods; there is a small area of lAND covered by parks AND green spaces. Green spaces are mainly the small green strips on the edge or in the middle of the streets. For Amiriye AND Pay-e Toop neighborhoods, the Pearson correlation coefficient between the respondents' education levels AND their scores of residential satisfaction are -0.36 AND -0.23, respectively. It implies that residential satisfaction has an inverse relationship with education. Also, the correlation coefficient between the residence length in the neighborhood AND residential satisfaction scores are +.001 AND -0.29, respectively (for Amirieh AND Pay-e Toop neighborhoods). It also indicates no relation for the first neighborhood AND an inverse relation for the other.The zoning map of all the indicators shows that in more than 90% of the neighborhood area, the level of satisfaction is in the medium range. In Amirieh, the parts with low satisfaction are scattered. It can be said that the northeastern edge of the Amirieh neighborhood AND the southwestern edge of the Pay-e Toop neighborhood have lower satisfaction. ConclusionThe role of physical indicators in low satisfaction is much more significant than social indicators. The physical components of the neighborhoods caused a low level of satisfaction. On the contrary, higher satisfaction is revealed from the socio-cultural components. Households prefer the quality of services more than the availability of services. In medium-sized cities such as Bojnoord, neighborhood relations, closeness to relatives, AND living in neighborhoods where the ancestors lived are still decisive in creating residential satisfaction. To improve life satisfaction, paying attention to housing quality AND the regeneration of both neighborhoods is necessary. Also, improvement, retrofitting, enhancing the quality of the building, AND improving the quality of urban services, especially healthcare services, public transportation, AND commercial services, should be considered. FundingThere is no funding support. Authors’ ContributionAuthors contributed equally to the conceptualization AND writing of the article.

Lactation length is different in individual cows, which is generally converted to a 305-day stANDard using curve fitting models for genetic AND management practices. Individual curves do not have a stANDard shape in all cases, AND can deviate from the stANDard pattern according to factors such as individual differences, AND type of fitted models. These non-stANDard curves, called atypical, resulted from incorrect estimated parameters of the curves; which consist of: continuously increasing or decreasing AND reversed stANDards. This study was conducted to investigate the IMPORTANCE of atypical curves in estimation of 305-day milk production, by fitting two nonlinear models? Wood (empirical) AND Pollott (biological), on 7659 AND 6692 test-day milk yield of 977 AND 776 first calving Iranian Simmental AND Jersey cows, during 2007-2020, using R software. Different patterns obtained based on the combination of increasing (b) AND decreasing (c) phase parameters of curves. The number of stANDard curves from the Pollott AND Wood models were 85.5% AND 62.2% for Simmental, AND 83.1% AND 70.6% for Jersey cows, respectively. Only continuously increasing curves were observed in both breeds in Pollott model (14.8% AND 16.9%, Simmental AND Jersey cows, respectively); Whereas in Wood model, all 3 groups of atypical curves were observed, which the reversed stANDard was the most (22.3% AND 16.5%, Simmental AND Jersey cows, respectively). Based on the findings, at the time of stANDardizing the production of dairy cows (national evaluations), not only differences between breeds, but also special attention to the production of atypical curves, should be paid (to correct or discard them).

Face recognition from digital images is used for surveillance AND authentication in cities, organizations, AND personal devices. Internet of Things (IoT)-powered face recognition systems use multiple sensors AND one or more servers to PROCESS data. All sensor data from initial methods was sent to the central server for PROCESSing, raising concerns about sensitive data disclosure. The main concern was that all data from all sectors that could contain confidential information was PLACEd in a central server. Federated LEARNING can solve this problem by using several local model TRAINING servers for each region AND a central aggregation server to form a global model in IoT networks. This article presents a novel approach to optimize data transfer AND convergence time in federated LEARNING for a face recognition task using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA II). The aim of the study is to balance the trade-off between TRAINING time AND model accuracy in a federated LEARNING environment. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in reducing data transfer AND convergence time, leading to improved performance in face recognition accuracy. This research provides insights for researchers AND practitioners to enhance the efficiency of federated LEARNING in real-world applications.

Resistance is one of the fundamental Quranic values in the cause of the development of the Islamic society AND the formation of the Islamic civilization, which means stANDing AND resisting against something has upset the balance in internal AND external dimensions. The formation of this value in the society as one of the methods of the conventional model of human life in the fields of human life; So that its manifestation can be observed in the totality of social behaviors, it is called the culture of resistance (Problem statement). The purpose of this article is the achievement of the engineering PROCESS of this value in a society based on the growth-oriented thought (ideological) system of the Holy Quran (Purpose). Now the question is what PROCESS does the Holy Quran propose in order to engineer the culture of resistance in the society? (Question). The necessity of examining this issue is clear considering the emphasis of religious teachings on this value AND the need for Islamic societies, especially considering the current conditions of Islam AND the need for convergence AND coordination between the resistance front (Necessity). The research method in stating the engineering PROCESS AND its components is qualitative content analysis with an analogy approach (Method). The findings of the research show that the engineering PROCESS of resistance culture is based on a self-awareness AND purposefulness, according to the idea of Quranic growth, in a three-stage PROCESS that leads to the happiness of man AND human society (Conclusion).

To investigate the effect of vermicompost, N fertilizer AND their integration on growth, biological AND essential yields oil AND its components in two populations (Varamin AND Isfahan), an experiment was conducted in a rANDomized complete block design with three replications in the field of Isfahan Medicinal Plants Research Center in 2016. Fertilizer treatments including 100% urea, vermicompost 33.3 AND urea 66.6%, vermicompost 66.6 AND urea 33.3%, 100% vermicompost AND control treatment (without fertilizer) as the first factor AND Varamin AND Isfahan populations as the second factor were selected. The results showed that the interaction effects of nitrogen fertilizer AND populations on all studied traits were significant. In both populations, nitrogen fertilizer improved height, biological AND essential oil yields, content of essential oil compounds (d-Carvone AND its yield, α-phellANDrene AND linalool; except p-Cymene AND Limonene in Isfahan population). Since in medicinal plants, the quantity (biological yield) AND quality (essential oil AND d-Carvone; the most important ingredient AND the highest amount of essential oil in this experiment), 66.6% vermicompost + 33.3% urea in Varamin population, was the best treatment in the experiment. In addition an in the direction of human health AND sustainable agriculture, it is possible to reduce 33% of chemical fertilizers application AND pollution; however, in terms of other essential oil contents (α-phellANDrene, Linalool AND p-Cymene), 100% vermicompost fertilizer treatment was superior in Isfahan population.

Many books have been written to illustrate the position of the new technologies in teaching AND LEARNING a foreign or second language (L2); nonetheless, most of these books have not been successful. The HANDbook of Technology AND Second Language Teaching AND LEARNING edited by Caral A. Chapell AND Shanon Sauro AND published by Wiley Blackwell in 2017, provides a comprehensive overview of the various facets of the use of technology in teaching AND LEARNING an L2. This book has not been translated into Persian AND no critical review has been published for it; accordingly, this study sought to both introduce AND critically review this book. The current critical review revealed some advantages including comprehensiveness of the whole book, the expertise of the writers, up-to-dateness, content AND format integrity, AND the use of valid sources. The main criticisms are the exclusion of some of the very recent technologies, perhaps due to the ever-changing AND exponentially volatile nature of the technological improvements AND expansions, the introduction of too many technologies at the theoretical level without providing information about their practical use. Generally, the book is an invaluable AND academically written source for L2 practitioners, postgraduate students, AND researchers.

The present research was conducted with the aim of the relationship between social factors AND family violence against children (child abuse). The used method was a survey AND the data collection tool was also a questionnaire. From a total of 155 families with a history of child abuse based on the social emergency statistics of Tehran in the last 6 months of 1397, 110 families (parents with one or more children) were selected in District 9 of Tehran Municipality. The rANDom sampling method was simple. In the present study, children under 11 years (6-11 years) were defined as the age range of children AND family violence was also defined as violence applied by parents, older siblings. Research hypotheses were tested with SPSS statistical software through Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results showed that the experience of violence has a positive relationship with psychological violence, physical violence, neglect against children AND family violence against children. In other results, it was found that violence-oriented mentality has a positive relationship with psychological violence, physical violence, neglect against children AND family violence against children. In the continuation of the obtained results, the positive relationship of family problems with mental violence, physical violence AND neglect against children AND family violence against children was confirmed AND it was found that gender stereotypes have a positive relationship with mental violence, physical violence AND neglect against children AND family violence against children. Finally, in the main hypothesis, the results showed: social factors have a positive relationship with psychological violence, physical violence AND neglect against children AND family violence against children.

The IMPORTANCE of female heads of households in providing the basic needs of household members on the one hAND AND the limitations they face in most socio-economic fields have made it necessary to pay attention to the issues of female heads of households in most societies including our country. The purpose of this study is to use the systematic review method to review AND evaluate the policy proposals that have been proposed in Iran for women heads of households. A total of 296 articles AND 5 reports were identified. In the review AND eligibility phase, the total number of selected texts was considered to be 79 texts, of which 62 studies used the quantitative method AND 17 studies used the qualitative method. Based on the studies that proposed policy proposals, the characteristics of female heads of the household, the axes of vulnerability, the evaluation of policies AND proposals were determined. The findings showed that more policy proposals were made based on the characteristics of low literacy, being unemployed, AND being middle-aged. Based on the axes of vulnerability, women heads of households are more vulnerable psychologically AND socially than they are materially vulnerable in many cases. The evaluation of policies for women heads of households showed that the most interventions for the empowerment of women heads of households were focused on the economic field AND were mainly pursued in the form of financial payments AND did not pay enough attention to other aspects of women's empowerment, while the empowerment of women heads of households was successful when It is expected to simultaneously pay attention to their mental health AND improve their social AND economic status.

The Kerman region stANDs out as one of the most significant mining areas globally, owing to its extensive AND abundant mineral resources. Bam County, situated in the southeastern part of Kerman, has historically served as a crucial hub connecting the southeast of Iran with Sistan AND Afghanistan, attributed to its distinctive geological AND geomorphological characteristics. Enjoying considerable commercial AND military IMPORTANCE since the Sassanid era, Bam County has garnered attention in archaeological research as a strategically vital region. The exploration of Bam's archaeological sites becomes imperative for historical governments, highlighting the need to investigate AND comprehend ancient centers engaged in metal smelting AND mining activities. Consequently, an archaeological survey of the central part of Bam County was initiated in 2018-2019 with the specific objective of identifying metal smelting workshops AND ancient mines. This article presents the outcomes of a field survey conducted in the central part of Bam County, shedding light on evidence of metal smelting centers, furnaces, AND historical mining activities. The primary research inquiries center around the chronology of mining evidence in the central part of Bam County, the types of metals extracted, AND the PROCESSes involved in metal mining AND metallurgy within this region. Employing field AND documentary methods, the research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach. The study identified AND examined eight sites showcasing evidence of smelting AND slag, one ancient mine, AND two active mines. These sites have been associated with the extraction AND PROCESSing of metals AND elements such as tin, zinc, lead, silver, iron, AND, to a lesser extent, gold. Notably, the substantial volume of zinc AND zinc oxide PROCESSing in seven sites holds significance. Although cultural materials for chronological dating were absent in the investigated sites, historical sources indicate that the extraction AND smelting of these metals in the region date back to at least the 3rd century AH (9th century AD) AND persisted until the Qajar period
