The mosques incorporate a unique position in the education of kids and teenagers. This research is intended to identify the priority of the grand strategies in the interaction between the mosques and children and adolescents, and to provide strategic recommendations for policy making institutions in this field. Relating the research question focusing on the assessment of the importance and performance of strategic components, the status quo and favorable situation of strategic components for interaction between the mosques, children and adolescents, were studied through importance-performance analysis from the perspective of three groups of experts (researchers, cultural and mosque-relating activists, staff officials). It is worth mentioning that due to the huge gap between the status quo and favorable situation, the most important component for improving the current situation is to consider the connection and increasing coherence among the educational aspects of the mosques, families, the schools and the neighborhoods. Moreover, the external role-playing of the mosques, along with their internal structure, will have the greatest effect on the interaction between the mosques, children and adolescents. On the other hand, simultaneous attention to behavioral and structural components is also important. Moreover, the acceptable approach for improving the status quo due to the noninstitutional nature of the mosques seems to follow bottom-up procedure. However, achievement of the alignment of the priority of role-playing with the educational system in relying on the educational capacity of the mosques, requires special care.

This research tries to analyze the agility of heavy transportation of a defense organization using the Performance Importance Analysis (IPA) method. Today, according to the speed of environmental changes, organizations must respond to various changes and demands with high responsiveness. In this regard, the role of transportation in defense organizations is very important and practical. Also, the agility of heavy transportation of defense organizations can increase the level of success of the organization and reduce the waste of its resources. In this research, first the concepts of agile transportation and then the criteria of agility of heavy transportation are explained. In the following, the agility of heavy transportation of a defense organization has been analyzed using the Performance Importance Analysis (IPA) method. In this research, field research was used with a questionnaire tool, and the statistical population of the research includes senior managers of logistics and transport and mobility experts of the studied defense organization. The results of the Performance Importance Analysis (IPA) method provide insight to managers to identify the organization's strengths and weaknesses and finally propose implementation solutions.

Purpose: One of the most important national and international scientific goals of our country is the scientific authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In order to achieve scientific authority, it is necessary to use the strategies presented by the Supreme Leader based on the spatial, temporal and situational characteristics. This research seeks to prioritize these strategies to accelerate the achievement of the scientific authority of Islamic Iran.Method: The present research method is combinatory (quantitative and qualitative), so that in the first step, the method of data- based theory is used to extract the strategies for achieving scientific authority from the perspective of the Supreme Leader. The extraction of the content has been done by drawing upon statements made by the Supreme Leader during the years 1368 to 1393. In the second step, based on the quantitative method of IPA, these strategies were prioritized based on the views of the experts in the field of science in the country.Findings: In the first part, based on the stage of extraction of concepts from leadership statements, fourteen fundamental strategies (main concepts in open coding) have been identified for achieving scientific authority; further, based on quantitative analyzes, these strategies were divided into four categories. Each category, based on two dimensions of importance and performance, represented the degree of priority of that strategy in line with the needs of the country. Results: Finally, after extracting major concepts based on quantitative analyzes, it became clear that the priority should be given to the strategies of "university and university unity", "software movement and science production", "transformation of education" and "development in the education system and theose of systematic management of the scientific field "and" attracting and supporting elites "should continue with the current level of attention. The third- group strategies include the Islamization of science, scientific exchange, scientific diplomacy. Transforming the seminaries, establishing the Islamic university, scientific discourse, free thinking. Finally, learning from the West but not to be content to remain a student, and establishing knowledge-based companies and commercialization of science and technology constitute the fourthe- group strategies.

Research studies show that considering the production potentials of high-tech industries, the export of this group of products is not proportional to the economic capacities of Iran. . This is while, one of the export objectives of the country in upstream documents is to export high-tech goods and get rid of exporting raw materials. Accordingly, this paper aims at identifying the barriers to the development of high-tech industries and assessing their performance, and then, determining their priority in Iran. In this paper the opinions of experts the area of high-tech industries were used to identify the barriers and their importance. Using theme analysis, six main factors (barriers) and twenty important sub-factors in this area were then identified and classified. After that, in order to assess the effect of barriers on the export development, the proper indicators were determined for each sub-factor based on the research literature, and these indicators were formulated in the form of a two-dimensional questionnaire composed of the importance and performance of each of them and were provided to 260 knowledge-based export companies. The collected data were analyzed using MAXQDA and SMART PLS software in the qualitative and quantitative sections, respectively. Finally, the gap between the status quo and the desired status and the barriers to the export development in the high-tech industries were analyzed using the importance-performance matrix, and some solutions were suggested to improve the export development status in Iran.

Currently training plays a transformational role in improving knowledge and skills of human resources. This requires quality oriented training and learner satisfaction. The goal of this study was to develop quality assurance method in training with particular emphasis on trainees satisfaction. To achieve this goal, service quality approach, has been used to reveal quality components of training. Using components and analytical system of Importance-Performance analysis model, a new method for quality assurance in training was developed. The study was an exploratory mixed research in which, qualitative and quantitative data have been collected through interview and questionnaire. A sample of 94 apprentices in Telecommunication Training Center has been selected. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used for data analysis. The study revealed 40 components of quality in training. Based on the components and the IP matrix, a practical model for evaluation and quality assurance in training has been developed.

The aim of the present study was importance – performance analysis of characteristics of bike paths influencing cycling decision with IPA model application. The research method was descriptive analytical. The statistical population consisted of all users of bike sharing system of Isfahan city and 384 subjects were selected by convenience sampling method as the research sample. The bike paths characteristics were recognized with a review of related literature and used to design the research questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was investigated by 10 experts and its reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficient; the alpha coefficient in importance dimension was 0. 93 and in performance dimension was 0. 94. The data analysis was performed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that all 34 bike paths characteristics were located in “ concentrate” area where the factors received low satisfaction scores from users, but they were important in their viewpoints. Such characteristics require immediate correction and have a high priority. So, it is necessary for urban authorities to pay a special attention to eliminating these deficiencies in the existing bike paths and considering them to design future paths so that bike riding can expand in everyday life of citizens and can replace motor vehicles.
