The heart of the organization is organizational resource management, and human resource development is of particular importance for today's competitive age. Many strategies have been prescribed for human resource development and various models, based on theories, have considered different dimensions for human resource development, but still, human resource development faces challenges due to the role of employees' understanding and decision in development. It is their self, their organization and their profession. Combining neuroscience with management and its influence on human resource practices can help to better understand how human resource development strategies are implemented. This research is of inductive-deductive type and has used the multi-grounded theory approach (Goldkuhl & Cronholm version) which is a combination of grounded theory and meta-synthesis approach. According to the multi-grounded theoretical approach, first 59 studies were selected from 453 related studies for meta-synthesis and the relevant codes were identified. The statistical population included all executive and academic experts familiar with the concept of human resource development and neuroscience. Sampling was done theoretically and then using 14 Semi-structured interviews in the form of multi-grounded theory, the final concepts and categories were extracted, which are the perceptual core of employees (including justice, ethics, creativity, motivation and trust), employees' performance body and Executive shell of human resource development process. The results confirmed that neuroscience can be used to promote the management and development of individuals more effectively and of course the application of neuroscience findings in human resource methods and processes is still in its infancy. However, it is a new perspective to continue research and implementation of human resource development.

The aim of this study was conducted relationship between e-learning and self-regulated learning strategies in University of Mazandaran students. The research method is descriptive and data analysis method is structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the present study includes all students in University of Mazandaran in the academic year 1300-1400, Contains to 1300 people. The sample size was 373 based on Krejcie and Morgan table. The sampling method is random based on electronic survey. Two questionnaires were used to collect data: Wan`s questionnaire for measuring the capabilities and application of the learning management system, the reliability of which was 0.85 according to Cronbach's alpha method, as well as the Self-regulated learning strategies and motivational beliefs questionnaire (MSLQ), Pintridge and De Groot (1990). The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed and their reliability was obtained by Cronbach's alpha method of 0.97 and 0.91, respectively. Data analysis was mapped and fitted using 24AMOS software.The results of the research correlation coefficient showed that the capabilities of the learning management system have a positive and significant relationship with motivational beliefs and self-regulated learning strategies (cognitive and metacognitive strategies). All dimensions considered for the two variables of e-learning capabilities and self-regulated learning strategies have a significant factor load (P <0.05, t <1.96) and indicate the validity of the structure and approval of the measurement part of the model. Therefore, it can be concluded that e-learning increases self-regulatory learning strategies among students and also students' positive attitude towards e-learning will help them to use more self-regulatory techniques in learning and ultimately more progress and success to gain.

The Great Circle is the shortest sea route between two points on the sphere. This route is the most economical route for navigation, regardless of the wave and wind. In ocean voyages above 600 miles, the Great Circle Route should be used, which is why the International Maritime Organization has proposed an approved method for seafarers to solve this problem. The method of calculating the Great Circle with the vertex point (the closest point of the path to the pole) which is solved by logarithmic tables has been proposed by the International Maritime Organization. This method has been discussed in all navigation books. In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of this method to solve the problem of the Great Circle are discussed.In this paper, it is shown that the vertex point can be located on either side of the departure point. Therefore, determining its correct position can confuse the calculator.One of the results of this research is that, a method has been proposed to determine the approximate position of the vertex point relative to the departure point, which ensures the accuracy of the obtained results. Using this method, a sailor can calculate the vortex point without any confusion while navigating and use it to solve the Great Circle problem.
