Purpose: The purpose of this applied research is to study the effectiveness of gamification on corporate training.  Methodology: A gamified course was designed and implemented to train the location of Fire Hosing Cabinet for 24 employees of a firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental research plan (post-test only control group design) the participants of the study were randomly assigned to treatment (12) and control (12) groups and trained for a week.  Conclusion: The descriptive and interpretive result of the posttest analyses indicated the effectiveness of gamification of the training performed for the employees of the firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Moreover, the descriptive result of Gamification Acceptance Questionnaire answered by the members of the experimental group after gamified training indicated that all the participants in the experimental group were satisfied with the gamified training course.

In recent years, in addition to conventional sources of gas, production from unconventional sources is also possible. Iran as a second-largest conventional gas reserves in the world and the fourth producer, intends to enter the gas competition, increase its share in the global gas trade. The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term exploration, extraction and production of gas and the impact of unconventional gas production. To achieve this objective, System Dynamics approach is used. The model developed consists of three sub-system conventional gas exploration and production cycle, investment and global demand and for the period 2001-2035 is simulated. Model validity is approved and simulation results indicated that, with current trends, the life of undiscovered gas reserves in Iran from 400 years to less than 30 years will be reduce in 2035. gas production rising from 100 BCM in 2001 to more than 500 BCM in 2035. In other words, the gas production in Iran will be about 5 times over a period of 35 years. Applying scenarios such as increasing the rate of exploration, increased investment in development and increase investment in technological improvements will lead to an increase in gas production. However, the development of unconventional gas could reduce demand security of gas in world and reduce the Iranian gas production in a long- term period. At the same time taking into account all scenarios can increase gas production and thus offset the decline in production is due to the expansion of gas production from unconventional sources.

Some Islamic countries which have the main oil and gas resources in the world, extracting these resources without considering public and Muslims interests, even in opposition of their interests and devote its benefits to the few people or spend them against other Islamic countries national interest. So it becomes necessary to study criteria of Islamic law. In this article, it is emphasized on Islamic law and contemporary jurisprudence. According to the Islamic law, existed oil and gas resources in depth of the earth, are considered as public property or governmental property which are administrated today by government on behalf of all Muslims and it is necessary to be extracted as much as needed or being spent for public interest. In other words, in first assumption, Imam Al-Muslims or leader of Islamic community should extract resources according to the Muslims needs and spent its benefits for all people. In second assumption, if leader have possession of property without considering Muslims interests, it isn't correct legally (according to the Sharia) and he will be responsible for refunding the same property or in case of excuse, he will be responsible for refunding benefits of property which have been spent illegally.

The discussion about possession of oil and gas resources in Islamic jurisprudence may be inquired along with ownership of mines. It is deduced from total votes of the jurists about possession of mines that there are various comments in this regard whether such a possession is apparent and/ or latent and it will differ if it is assumed as public properties or joint ownerships so these are concerned with ‘Anfal’ and ‘public ownerships. Unlike the well-known impression, through inference from the current criteria for classification of mines in Islamic jurisprudence, oil and gas are deemed as latent mines in terms of change in their substance and application of the subject at present time. The jurisprudential system of exploitation from oil and gas mines will be different whether they are considered as public properties or the joint ownerships. With respect to the interpretation from concept of possession in public properties, such a difference will be further downplayed in this investigation. The mines will be included in administrative possession of Islamic ruler whether they are assumed as public properties or the joint ownerships. And the Islamic ruler may also delegate the mines as copyhold to the competent entities within the framework of the stipulated systems and regulations based on public expediency and interest. Of course, copyhold of mines is employed for permission for use and not for possession. The copyhold of oil and gas mines is maximally beneficent for appropriation in exploitation within definite period of time with possible request for returning them in the case of non- exploitation.

Islamic republic of Iran, as a major holder of oil and gas reservoir in the world, has a broad investment in exploration and operation phase in common oil and gas fields in recent years, while this country has about 28 of this common field with its neighboring countries. As the other party tried to invest in these fields mutually in last two decades, Iran has to operate and invest intensively on shared fields. To achieve this goal, barriers which cause failure in operating and financing should be identified first and then solutions for dealing with the problem need to be designed. In this research, we try to clarify these barricades whether in contractual forms or not, besides proposing solutions like amendments to petroleum contracts, increasing stabilization of contracts as well as diplomatic ways and new financing methods and managing local resources in order to enhance recovery of fields.

In the present research, the equilibrium data of ternary systems, carbon dioxide- toluene- naphthalene is determined by using a high-pressure apparatus. Mentioned data is measured between 298.15 K and 308.15 K and pressure at 9.6 to 75.6 bar. In each experiment, equilibrium solubilities of naphthalene in toluene decrease by increasing the pressure due to adding the carbon dioxide as the anti-solvent. Also, the obtained experimental data have correlated by the Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of states along with Van der Waals 1 and 2 mixing rules.The adjustable parameters of mentioned models are obtained using the experimental data and reported along with average absolute relative deviation of each model. The results show that SRK equation of state with vdW2 mixing rule (AARD=11.75 %) has less deviation than SRK-vdW1 (AARD=14.41 %) and optimum operational condition for production of fine particles (over than 90%) in the gas process has been suggested.

The purpose of this study was to design and evaluate a human resource empowerment model for the productivity of the National Iranian gas Company (NIGC), which was done with a combined approach. This research is a survey in terms of purpose, and applied in terms of its nature, and in terms of paradigm, it is a combined-exploratory research. The data collection method has been library and field study. In the qualitative section, during the interviews with 18 industry experts, the most important indicators affecting human resource empowerment were extracted, including: managerial factor, group factor, individual factor, environmental factor, structural factor, organizational factor and ethical factor. In the quantitative part, to determine the relative importance of the model variables, a questionnaire was designed and distributed among a sample of 337 employees of the National Iranian gas Company. The important factors were managerial, group, organizational, environmental, ethical, individual and structural factors.

The Caspian Sea is the largest completely enclosed body of water in the world containing vast oil and gas deposits in its subsoil. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991and increase in coastal states from two to five, we have witnessed long negotiations; conflicting political and legal views; conflicting economic interests of coastal states; and contradictory theses presented by law experts regarding the legal status of the Caspian Sea without any success in resolving the problems related to it. Although sovereignty over the sea bed and subsoil resources is one of the uninfringeable principles of international law of the sea and one of the inherent rights of states, the extent of acting upon this right is tightly related to maritime delimitation. The Caspian Sea is geographically a border lake which is not subsumed under the definition of closed or semi-closed sea stipulated in 1982 Convention. On the other hand, from legal point of view, the Caspian Sea has some features which distinguishes it from others. These features require a special legal regime for it; a regime which should be formulated with the agreement of littoral states and by taking its historical record, former contracts, and new facts into account. At the same time, studying other regions in the world shows hat the lack of maritime delimitation is not an obstacle for exploiting seabed and subsoil resources and states can exploit these fields through adopting measures such as common development of oil and gas fields and establishing common institutions.
