This research examines the lexical processing of head-first endocentric compounds in Persian based on semantic transparency. This study shows whether the processing is related to the morpheme-based, whole-word, or dual-root models. Moreover, this research concludes whether the processing is associated with sublexical or supralexical models. Two separate masked priming tasks are conducted. In the first experiment, the compound word is the primed word and the modifier is the target. In the second experiment, the prime is the compound word and the target is the head. Three conditions are considered: transparent, opaque, and orthographic-overlap. In order to analyze the result, mixed models are used. The results show significant priming effects for transparent and opaque conditions. While no priming effect is shown for the orthographic-overlap condition. It can be concluded that the lexical processing of head-first endocentric compounds is independent of semantic transparency. The processing is morpheme-based and it is on the basis of the sublexical model. Furthermore, the semantic processing of these words is supralexical. Moreover, the lack of priming effect for the orthographic conditions is seemingly associated with orthographic complexity in the Persian writing system.

Compounding is one of the subjects, which have been always under research in the history of linguistic studies from different aspects. In the area of semantics of compounds, due to the principle of semantic compositionality that unites the meaning of components of a compound to reach out a compositional meaning, we find endocentric compounds with a semantic head. On the other hand, there are plentiful of compounds in a language, which have no semantic head and, consequently, no compositionality. Therefore, we find the referent of the compound out of it, which should be listed in lexicon and to be memorized. Exocentric compounds with no clear semantic head and no compositionality have opaque meaning. Based on the claims of Carin’s theory, which has a cognitive approach, we could explain that the reason that a compound is transparent or opaque in meaning is due to the existence or lack of a semantic relation. The very semantic relation that Carin’s theory recognizes as the key entity for interpretation is at the same time responsible for a compound being transparent or opaque. In endocentric compound, the relation existing between head and modifier creates the focal concept in the compound. In fact, by this semantic relation, we come to interpret noun compound even if we face with it for the first time. Having or not having a semantic relation for a compound is the key explanation behind the semantic transparency and opacity.

Background: Parties are so important in contemporary political systems that there seems to be no alternative mechanism; they facilitate governance at three levels: micro, medium and macro. Political parties need financial resources to win political competition and seize power, and this is what drives the political party financing system from a public law perspective. Governments always intervene in the financing of political parties through regulatory and distributional policies. Method: The research method used in this article was documentary-library method. Findings: The findings of this study show that one of the most important reasons for the failure of political parties in Iran is the unresolved issue of the legal system of securing parties; however, regulatory and distributive policies have been adopted to improve the performance of political parties, such as the announcement of "general election policies" by the leadership and the adoption of a law on the functioning of political parties and groups; But the issue of monitoring the financing of parties still needs to be legislated. Conclusion: In order to oversee the financing system of political parties, a new body called the "Election and Parties Commission" should be established and this body should be responsible for this oversight. The novelty of this article is to raise the issue of the party financing system from the perspective of public law and to provide a solution to solve this issue.

Spatial continuity particularly continuity between inside and outside is a concept that man always was looking forward to express it in architecture. It is a trait for expanding a restricted area and relating the spaces to other adjacent spaces in order to have more physical-visual or intellectual-moral motions. Although the boundaries of spaces create spatial order and specify the quality of space, on the other hand, one another trait of architecture is continuity which leads to dynamism and motion. A continuous space is opposite to a closed and interrupted one, so in such spaces there is a spatial locomotion towards horizontal and vertical axis. These motions cause transparency and mobility towards the bulk of materials such as walls and columns in a way that the paths of moving or the directions of the sight are continuous. In the field of architectural expressions, continuity has several types and in this case, one of the categories can be noticed. This classification include four cases such as Historical, Cultural–social, Natural and Spatial continuity. Any of them has its definition, but in what follows, the spatial continuity will be described in detail. Spatial continuity can be studied in four states: First, the interior and exterior; in this case, besides the continuity makes perspective expansion, it inspires the concept of «being inside». The user requires both inside and outside spaces, and also the ability to move between these two spaces. Therefore, the architect should visualize and form inside and outside as a unit concept. Second case, between two interior spaces; flexible interior space, diversity and maximize capacity of space can be achieved in this way. Third, in an interior; this kind of continuity is more understood in a large enclosed space such as a church or a mosque. The fourth state, in the space outside the building; in open spaces or urban spaces can be observed. Any interior space may have continuation in six axes. Spatial continuity can be established through some architectural features, these factors include: Transparent layers; the most important factor to create continuity between two spaces. Transparency can be made by embedding the openings, doors and windows. Axis; axis represent the directions and correlate different elements to each other. In other words, axes connect spaces like a string. Although axes can be defined in various ways, two directions are often stronger than the others because the orientation of human kind is based on the horizontal and vertical direction. Rhythm and Repetition; the most important and most tangible factors that can represent spatial continuity are rhythm and repetition. Continuation and repetition are the basis of continuity. Continuation of surfaces; shared elements between the two spaces arouses a sense of continuity to the spectator. Continuity will be well understood when the surfaces of the floor, wall or ceiling of a space stretches to another space. Intermediate space; intermediate space (the third space) is one of the main factors of continuity and sequencing of architectural elements. Although this item separate two spaces, it causes the continuation without any separation between them. In each ancient and modern architecture, new methods can be observed, trying to show spatial continuity. In modern age, progress in technology and release of Classic principals (norms) caused the best type of continuity. Modern architects reduced the confliction of inside and outside and ignored the role of walls as separator elements by eliminating the boundaries of interior space. Modern architecture incorporated inside and outside to let them form one unique continuous space, without any difference between interior and exterior space. Spatial continuity in modern architecture: In modern architecture a continuous space is created by eliminating or neglecting the role of walls (separators). Therefore, there is no difference remains between inside and outside. The boundaries have become smooth, so visual continuity and accordingly, spatial continuity arises. In other words the walls lose their existence and permanency, the conflict of inside and outside is eliminated therefore the meaning of inside is weakened. The same as universal architecture, there are some rules in ancient Iranian architecture to represent spatial continuity, however mentioning the spiritual and moral sides of continuity. Iranian architectural space include three categories from the primitive time: closed, covered and open spaces. These three mainsubspaces define the whole space. Room, as a closed space, porch (Ivan) as a semi closed one and the yard as an open space. Iranian architects always try to track the continuity between these three items in their design process. They have attempted to pass the user through the space unimpeded, promoting the idea of transparency, lightness and spatial continuity, by reducing the bulk of mass and increasing the space. Iranian architectural space can be thought of as a wavy space. Conjunction with unlimited space is created through the light and perspective expansion, and space expansion between the components. Continuity through these spaces were shown spreading natural lights, and the extension of the sceneries and perspectives. Iranian architects tried to reduce the material mass of the building body in order to achieve transparency and spiritual lightness. In this essay we are intending to study the level of effect of traditional Iranian architecture on contemporary Iranian architecture and the level of effect of modern architecture on it, and finally we will make a comparison between them. For this review, a descriptive–analytic observation is set that the criteria of comparison are the factors of spatial continuity of Iranian and modern architecture. For each architectural Style, factors that represent continuity is listed, mentioning that any of these factors can be used in which state, relating the inside and outside. So this will assort results in a set of tables for each Style. A number of public buildings, built during 50 decade till now is selected for analyzing the factors in each group. Four of them will be expounded. At last the results can be observed in a detailed table, along with, a diagram represents the percentage of each factor’s participation in indicating spatial continuity in both Iranian and modern architecture.

   Edible coating are thin layers that are on surface of food materials and they are such as protector. Films and edible coating which are prepared from natural polymers specially protein are under consideration in recently years. Aim of this search, is possibility of production of edible film from chickpea protein isolated and determinate the effect of chickpea protein isolated concentration and plasticizer percent on some properties of edible film. So was considered with using from central composite design of chickpea protein isolated in concentrations 4 -10 g, and glycerol plasticizer in range of 40- 60% of weight of chickpea protein isolated in pH=9.5. In this study was considered physical and qualitative examination like water vapor permeability, film solubility, transparency of edible films. Results showed that percent of plasticizer in experiments had right effect on water vapor permeability; thus increasing of protein concentration was caused increasing of water vapor permeability measure at statistical surface (P<0.01). the increase of plasticizer concentration, is caused solving  of films and increase of protein isolated concentration is caused to decrease of transparency of edible films.

Price manipulation in the Tehran Stock Exchange has been one of the most widely discussed issues among academic and professional practitioners in recent years. In this article, we first calculated the abnormal Returns- significance difference between actual and risk-based adjusted expected returns- by using an autoregressive test, for all 130 accepted firms in the Tehran stock market during 2002-2006, which seemed to be manipulated, since they had experienced great fluctuations in their stock prices. For any firm, if changes in share prices are not at random and/or its stock prices are autocorrelated with the past ones, it can be concluded that the firm is under a price manipulation. In the next stage, we have developed a binary logit regression model for predicting the firms' price manipulation based on four factors i.e. the information transparency, the liquidity of the shares, the size (capital) of the firm and the P/E ratio. Finally, the model efficiency for predicting price manipulation in the Tehran Stock Exchange is validated by using appropriate statistical tests such as, The Wald, Likelihoods Function, and the Wilk's Lambda tests. The results showed that the model is efficient and robust for predicting the price manipulation (P<0.05, Wilk's Lambda=0.205; Cox & Snell R2=0.792 ,0.799; -2Log likelihood= 27.49).

Transparency is an evaluation criterion for teleoperation systems based on force and position error. Generally, conventional control architectures do not lead to a high transparency to preserve the stability. A novel method is the model-mediated teleoperation approach which estimates the environment impedance on slave site and transmits it to master, where the force is calculated locally by creating a virtual environment. This procedure increases the transparency without degrading stability and with time delays in system. Correctly locating the virtual environment has a significant effect on improving the transparency of the system; however, the proposed methods for this aim either require simplifying environment model or adversely affect the transparency. In this paper a novel, yet very simple, algorithm is presented for determining the location of the virtual environment and collision time. The main feature of this algorithm is that firstly it is independent of environment model and thus is applicable to all environments, and secondly it increases the transparency of the system without using additional sensors. The proposed approach is implemented on a single-degree-of-freedom bilateral teleoperation system with time delay. For estimating environment impedance, novel accurate and robust methods are utilized. Impedance and sliding-mode controllers are used for controlling the master and slave, respectively, and the performance of the system is investigated in interaction with hard and soft environments. Simulation results indicate that the transparency of the system is suitably high in interaction with both environments; however, model jump occurs merely at the first moment of contact with the hard environment.

In this study, 19 samples of biodegradable films using modified starch (0-2 g), albumin (2-0 g), nanoparticles of magnesium oxide (0-5%), were prepared and physicochemical properties including colorimetric, transparency, mechanical, calorimetry and morphological properties were investigated. Addition of magnesium nanoparticles to modified starch-based nanocomposite films and albumin decreased the transparency and increased the opacity of the films and increased the a, b and YI index, indicating an increase in yellow color in films containing high concentrations of MgO nanoparticles and an increase in E film. The addition of MgO nanoparticles to them also improved the strength and mechanical properties of the films (tensile strength and strain to breaking point). Films containing magnesium oxide nanoparticles showed an increase in glass transition temperature, a melting temperature and a decrease in crystallization temperature; Which confirms the positive effect of MgO nanoparticles on increasing the thermal stability of nanobiocomposite films. SEM images of the produced films showed a heterogeneous level in films containing magnesium oxide nanoparticles compared to films without nanoparticles.

Accountability as an element of good governance has long been in the core attention of Public Law and Politics scholars. Despite this, the concept of accountability and its dimensions are ambiguous, and sometimes, there exists confusion. This article tries to achieve the concept of accountability through functional democracy according to its object(i.e. allocating power). According to this definition, accountability is a two -dimensional concept and consists of “Answerability” and “Enforcement”: which achieving each of them needs two preconditions: transparency and rule of law.  Furthermore, even if one or two of them are missing, we may still legitimately speak of acts of accountability. Irrefutably clarifying the position of accountability in democracy and good governance can be useful for understanding this concept. Accountability is a concept with the emergence of which the concerns about limiting, control, monitoring and balancing the power can be fulfilled.

Exchange rate is one of the most influential factors affecting Iran's macroeconomic variables. Exchange rate fluctuations in Iran have always been one of the major challenges for policymakers. On the other hand, many central banks today consider transparency as one of the main and vital priorities in achieving the effectiveness of monetary policy and communicating effectively with the people and being accountable. This transparency can affect macroeconomic expectations and the exchange rate. In this study, the effect of central bank transparency on exchange rate fluctuations is investigated using the ARDL method over the period 1981-2018. This study is based on analytical, applied and correlational research methods, which uses time-series econometric regression model. The transparency of the central bank, as independent variable, is measured by Dincer & Eichengreen index, and exchange rate fluctuations, as dependent variable, are constructed by GARCH method. The results show that the transparency of the central bank reduces exchange rate fluctuations in both short run and long run, and there is a long-term synergistic relationship between research variables.

The present paper is an attempt to reveal the typical difficulties to which are confronted translators of every sacred text. So, the authors of this research paper try to precise the meaning-form relations which arise from a corpus of the eighteen final surahs of the holy Quran. For this purpose, two translations of the holy book (those of Jacques Berque and Hamidullah), the most attested and credible, have been chosen and studied in this research to determine the tendencies which deform the source text while translating and which leads to different outputs. By this way, the present work will show the impact of the moderation to find out the right way between the fidelity to the form and the loyalty to the meaning.

Introduction:
This study explores reviewers’ perspectives on conflict of interest (COI) disclosures by Iranian authors submitting to international publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, and Frontiers. COI transparency is critical for academic credibility, yet limited research has focused on COI practices among Iranian researchers. This study addresses this gap by examining the prevalence and impact of COI disclosures on manuscript acceptance, and the effect of foreign collaborations on perceptions of submissions from Iran.
Methods:
Using a qualitative approach, structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 reviewers to gather insights into COI disclosure practices among Iranian authors and the factors influencing acceptance decisions. This mixed-method approach provided both quantitative and qualitative perspectives on COI issues and reviewer perceptions.
Results:
Results showed that COI disclosure among Iranian authors is low, with 92% of reviewers noting non-disclosure impacted their acceptance decisions. Reviewers also indicated that manuscripts with foreign co-authors were perceived more credibly, suggesting international collaborations may improve ethical perceptions. Additionally, Iranian authors often lack distinction between financial, relational, or professional COIs, possibly reflecting gaps in awareness or guidelines. Cultural and procedural challenges were also identified as barriers to adhering to global standards.
Conclusion:
This study suggests that enhancing COI education and implementing clear policies could empower Iranian authors to adopt best practices, supporting both their professional credibility and institutional reputation. Improved, context-aware COI practices could foster trust and integrity in research from Iran.

Open data are data produced or recomended by the government or institutions which are under government control, and can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone. For the purpose of a person to be able to express his thoughts, he must be able to freely expose them to the public. The existence of laws governing access to information (such as: The Access to Information Act, The Data Protection Act and The personal data protection Act) is one of the indicators of readiness for open government.The openness of data is closely related to transparency and accountability, therefore, attention has been paid to this issue in various countries. The subject of this article is to investigate the legal status of open data in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Turkey. This essay compares the subject laws of Iran and Turkey in the field of open data and aims to represent the commonalities and differences between the two countries and the possibility of legal convergence of them.The present study, by the descriptive method and the qualitative content analysis of the documents, proposes the hypothesis that both countries have recognized the right to access information with limitations. Finally, the main proposition is that in the studied countries, since the law of freedom of information has not been able to meet the explicit requirements of the government, therefore, there is no deep and accurate understanding of the concept of open data.
