Globalization, as a encompassing process all aspects of human life, individual and collective, in the range of identity, culture, politics and economy, has affected the complexity and ambiguity on this issue has increased. Since that globalization should be one of the main factors for renewed attention to the issue of national identity. After this process, a force for homogenization is not simple, through which a culture can destroy other identities. Iran, with the attainment of rich culture and civilization, the history of several thousand-year-old, joined the temporal sequence of their identity, respectively, and with that in different periods, different forms assumed, but never Iranian originality of the has not been altered. On the other hand, though changes in the surface layers of culture, and identity emerged, but never able to find a way into the depth of Iranian identity. The Iranian culture and civilization, with services to the development of the common heritage of human civilization, together with the various ethnic groups present in your neighborhood, your special identity that is created during extended times, and has evolved. In the process of globalization, in addition to the revolution in information and communication; two great event and important historical, in the last decade of the twentieth century, the question of identity for Iran before the Iranians raised, one of the Islamic Revolution and Islamist in new identity, after the 1980s, emerged and the collapse of the bipolar world, in the 1990s, which led to the disappearance of geopolitical balance in the political world. In this study, attempting, with descriptive - analytical method, and according to library resources and the Internet, explain Iranian identity, and to realize the opportunities and challenges of Iranian identity in the globalization process.

The alarming statistics of school dropouts also have different reasons that need to be studied holistically to t. The non-completion of high school termination of education can adversely impact health, shorten lifespan, and increase stress on the healthcare system. High school graduation rates have often received extensive analysis and discourse by the Toronto District School Board and the Ministry of Education, however the absence of research and data, the strategies and challenges to improve graduation rates as they relate to public health in a Canadian context is a knowledge gap. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the perceptions of liaison public health nurses, who worked directly with the Toronto District School Board, regarding influencing students in Toronto, Ontario to complete high school. Bronfenbrenner’s development ecological model was the underlying theoretical lens and conceptual framework for the study. The purposive sampling of 10 public health nurses who were interviewed regarding their role and involvement in high schools was the approach adopted to undertake this study. Data was analyzed to gain an understanding of the possible reasons for dropping out from school from the perspective of the interviewed nurses. The findings from this study indicated that liaison public health nurses believed that high school dropouts are a public health issue and that collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Public Health is an ongoing challenge that warrants ongoing attention to address this challenge. The derived recommendations from the analysis of the study data are that the exploration of connection between health and school achievements and the expanded role of public health nurses in Canadian high schools must be more rigorous and ongoing. With continued monitoring and dedicated research and resources to addressing the high dropout in the identified population demographics of school students in Ontario, improving the success of students may be expected.

In this study, identification of value on the basis of packaging design for products of Olmuksa International Paper Sabanci is explained. First, packaging and related concepts are introduced, then how a corrugated packaging manufacturer conceptualizes cost reduction is also explored. Finally, corrugated cardboard package design examples parallel to this conceptualization are provided. The authors conclude that cost reductions may be realized for companies that both produce and consume packaging.

This geophysical investigation of groundwater is aimed at delineating the aquiferous units around the western part of the Lower Imo River Basin by determining their depths, thicknesses, resistivities and the potential borehole depth at various locations within the area employing the technique of Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using the Schlumberger array. Twenty two sounding stations were established. Four to six geo-electric layers comprising the top soil, clayey sand, dry sandstone, saturated sandstone, shaley sand and sandy shale were delineated with the later usually occurring as the last layer. The third and fourth layers underlying dry sandstone form the aquiferous unit. This unit was found to have an average resistivity value range of 10.7–6060?m and an average thickness of 32 m. Longitudinal Conductance increases towards the Southeast with a high closure around Umuduru Egbe Aguru. Conversely, Transverse Resistance increases towards the Northwest with a very high closure around Dikenafai and Mgbee axis. These confirm the difficulties often experienced during ground water exploitation in these localities. The Northern part of the study area has high thickness of aquifer units ranging from 50-80m. Similarly too, high depth to water table and consequent high possible Total Drill Depth (TDD) were mapped within the Northern part of the area. The reverse is the case for the South being dominated by the highly prolific Benin Formation. It was advised that care ought to be taken in drilling and casing at shallow aquiferous areas to maintain proper sanitary condition so as to reduce the risk of groundwater contamination.

Congolese law of human rights is a digest of moral, philosophical or religious principles or a series of values, testimonies and actions in favor of human rights, legal sources of human rights are legal documents, better legal acts in force adopted by the States or by their organs, at the national or international level, which are intended to recognize and guarantee to all human beings (or to certain categories of persons) the enjoyment and exercise of the rights inherent in their nature or their life in society. As legal instruments, the direct sources of human rights have the necessary legal authority, which gives them the status of reference sources before the jurisdictional and other bodies for the protection of human rights . It is no longer just a question of proclaiming that man has rights or that the perpetrators of serious violations of these rights commit crimes before all of humanity. From now on, international, regional or national legal instruments aim to combat human rights violations and facilitate the prosecution of their perpetrators in order to build peace and guarantee good governance in the field of human rights. the promotion and protection of these so-called human rights.In the name of the principle of universality of human rights, all modern states have their own legal arsenal for the recognition, promotion and protection of human rights. This arsenal derives either from international instruments, treaties and conventions, regional instruments, or national texts. But the proliferation of general and specific instruments has lengthened the list of these rights and made them more precise. The contents. This profusion sometimes makes it difficult to inventory and classify all of these rights, which are very diverse in their wording and content, and whose methods of exercise are also very varied, in particular because some of them can the object of development . Despite this diversity, writes Didier Rouget, there is a fundamental principle that enshrines and is inseparable from the universality of rights. No one can be discriminated against in the enjoyment and exercise of human rights. But this diversity of legal instruments also allows States to implement several legal mechanisms to enshrine, in their internal legal order, the existence, recognition, promotion and protection of these rights: it can be either of the Constitution, either of the law, of the regulations, or of jurisprudence or even of doctrine. Despite the number of mechanisms and human rights to be protected, they must be treated in a global, equitable and balanced manner, on the same footing and with the same importance: there is no a human right that is less or more important than the other, there is not one that is superior to the other. They are all on the same footing . This is clearly expressed in the Vienna Declaration adopted on 25 June 1993 at the World Conference on Human Rights which proclaims that: All human rights are universal, indivisible, interdependent and interrelated. The international community must treat human rights globally in a fair and balanced manner, on the same footing and with the same importance. While the importance of national and regional particularities and historical, cultural and religious diversity must be borne in mind, it is the duty of States, irrespective of the political, economic and cultural system, to promote and protect all human rights and fundamental freedoms . African states have not remained on the sidelines of this general movement, especially since, as far as they are concerned, the recognition, protection and progress achieved in this area constitute one of the conditionality’s for development aid or good governance imposed. Developed countries and the Bretton Woods institutions (the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund).For its part, the Democratic Republic of Congo has, particularly since 1960 - the year of its accession to independence - and even a little more.Before - a significant legal arsenal for the promotion and protection of human rights. Its various Constitutions, its numerous laws and its set of implementing regulations constitute undeniable direct sources of human rights .

The main purpose of this descriptive-survey study is, the identification of factors affecting the empowerment of human resources in media organizations and public relations in order to identify the factors that prevent adequate human resources in producing products according to their demand and their satisfaction. The population of this study is the experts of the ministry of communication and information technology in Iran and broadcasting organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this study, in order to refine the components to identify the dimensions of each element, the Delphi technique was applied in three steps. Convergent validity and discriminant validity were used to determine validity of the model from formal and content validity and its reliability was calculated based on the analysis of principal components, Cronbach's alpha, ? Dillon Goldstein, and stability of reagents. The findings show a significant relation between the strategic component with the individual component, the strategic component with the organizational component, the economic component with the individual component, the organizational component with the human resource empowerment component and ultimately individual component with the human resource empowerment component. The model investigated 98.6 percent of the variance of human resource empowerment, 99.9 percent of the variance of the individual component and 96.4 percent of the variance of organizational component.

Contrary to the primitive forms of the infant Acute intestinal intussusception is a rare entity in children. Adult, showing 10% of all intussusceptions and 4% of intestinal obstructions in adults. And an organic lesion is often found at the point of weakness of the intussusception in 80% of the cases at the adult. Malignant tumors represent the first etiology of intussusceptions, especially in the colon, whereas they are secondary to a benign lesion (especially in the hail) in 25% of cases. Treatment is always surgical in adults and leaves no room for reduction by hyperpressure under radiological control.

Senior team members reconcile conflicting demands and facilitate, encourage, motivate the managers to achieve organizational goals. This study investigated the role of the senior team shared vision, middle-level manager’s exploration and exploitation activities and behavior of transformational leadership as a moderator in resolving conflicting interests among senior team members and middle-level managers for achieving managerial ambidexterity. Pearson’s Correlation and Hierarichal Regression have been employed to find the results. Findings indicate that a senior team shared vision are related with manager’s ability to combine the activities of exploration and exploitation while the role of transformational leadership behavior does not increase the effectiveness of senior team shared vision.

The study is designed to examine the relationship among spiritual intelligence, organizational commitment and job satisfaction of employees in banking sector. Further, the study also intends to analyze the impact of spiritual intelligence on organizational commitment and job satisfaction of the employees. The study employed survey method of data collection using structured questionnaire. According to Krejcie and Morgan (1970), the minimum number of sample size was determined as 320 employees. David B. King’s the spiritual intelligence self-report inventory (SISRI) scale is used to measure spiritual intelligence and six dimensions of job satisfaction developed by Stamps and Piedmont is used to measure job satisfaction. Organizational commitment is measured by using its three dimensions namely affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. Relationship among spiritual intelligence, organizational commitment and job satisfaction of employees in banking sector is ascertained using Karl Pearson’s correlation and the impact of spiritual intelligence on organizational commitment and job satisfaction of the employees is ascertained and analyzed using Multiple Regression analysis.

This paper addressed supply chain management from another angle of view, which is explored the importance of leadership style in the supply chain process. The first part of this paper presents an overview of supply chain management and the definitions stated by researchers for decades. Furthermore, this paper reveals the dilemmas in supply chain management and some barriers facing the organizations' leaders to overcome these obstacles. Therefore, the second part of this paper presents and develops the two theories of cultural intelligence and strategic flexibility that helps managers to overcome these dilemmas. This part will present the theories background and the importance of the application of these concepts on supply chain management in general and in the healthcare industry in specific. Finally, we provide some suggestions for future researchers to consider these two variables as the main factors in their studies due to the importance of the culture in today's businesses and du to globalization. Moreover, researchers must pay attention to the role of planning in supply chain management in the future.
