Knowing the components of economic education provides the dynamic background of education in this field. The aim of the current research is to investigate the INDICATORS and components of the economic education curriculum. The approach of the current research is qualitative and its method is research synthesis. The research community is all the articles (211 articles) that have been presented from 1390 to 1401 AD and from 2010 to 2022 AD regarding economic education in curricula. The sample of the research is 32 articles, which were selected based on thematic monitoring, theoretical data saturation, and purposefully. The research data were collected from the qualitative analysis of the studied articles. By analyzing the data, the dimensions of vitality in the curriculum of the elementary school in 4 factors and 55 categories including the dimension of individual factors (including INDICATORS and components related to personality characteristics); The dimension of culture and economic ethics (economic fields in the society); The dimension of economic concepts and knowledge (indices in economic education) and the dimension of collective and communication concepts (communication and interaction INDICATORS in education) were classified. Economic education is dependent on internal and external components in educational systems, which requires macro-planning in this field.

A B S T R A C T Green city is one of the approaches to sustainable development. “green city” is an environmentally friendly city compatible with the concept of sustainable development and can be used for the welfare and security of its inhabitants. Based on the concept of a “green city,” urban managers try to have the least destructive effect on the ecosystems upon which cities rely. Green city is one of the sustainable development approaches that reduce the environmental footprint of cities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the situation of Mashhad metropolis in terms of the objective characteristics of the green city. In this study, 14 INDICATORS of electricity consumption per capita, green space per capita, population density, water availability, sewage availability, superior public transportation network, urban mass transportation, traffic reduction, annual production waste per capita, carbon monoxide, concentration nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide concentration, particulate matter concentration, and air quality were exerted. To determine the importance of research INDICATORS, the Shannon entropy method, and the status of Mashhad city areas in terms of green city INDICATORS, the VIKOR multi-criteria decision-making method has been applied. The results showed that most areas of Mashhad are average and below average in terms of green city characteristics, and only District 9 is in very good condition (0.636). Also, based on the results of this part of the research, District 5, with the value of VIKOR index of 0.969, is in the last rank in terms of objective characteristics of the green city Extended Abstract Introduction Green city is one of the approaches to sustainable development. A “Green city” is an environmentally friendly city compatible with the concept of sustainable development and can be used for the welfare and security of its inhabitants. Based on the concept of a “green city,” urban managers try to have the least destructive effect on the ecosystems upon which cities rely. Green cities constantly try to manage their environmental effects by reducing waste, increasing recycling, reducing air pollution, increasing population density, developing open urban spaces, and encouraging the development of sustainable local businesses. Green cities were first used to evaluate 30 European cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in 2009 with the financial support of Siemens and the aim of reducing the environmental effects of human activities in cities. In that study, eight indices of carbon dioxide, energy, construction, transportation, water, recycling and land use, air quality, and environmental governance were used. Later, the Economist Intelligence Unit, with the financial support of Siemens, evaluated the status of the green city index in 17 Latin American cities, 15 African cities, 22 major Asian cities, and 27 cities in United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In recent years, even some Western Islamic scholars have, in various publications, shown that Islam is an ecological religion. In Iran, the issue of protecting the environment has not received much attention regardless of its rich cultural and religious background and its confirmation in Article 50 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Mashhad is the second metropolis of Iran, located in North-East of Iran, and is one of the counties of Khorasan Razavi Province. According to the 2016 Iranian Population and Housing Census, its population was 3057679 people (The Vice-Presidency of Planning and Development of Mashhad Municipality). In Mashhad, due to several reasons including the presence of Imam Reza Shrine (PBUH) and arrival of millions of pilgrims per year, population growth, increased garbage production (production of 896534 tons of garbage in 2016 (The Vice-Presidency of Planning and Development of Mashhad Municipality), air pollution (increased number of unhealthy days from 46 days per year in 2015 to 88 days in 2016 for sensitive groups and 4 days of unhealthy air for all groups in 2016 (Center for Monitoring Environmental Pollutants of Mashhad Municipality) the 2025 vision of the city has paid attention to the environment in the form of five general objectives; however, just like the national level, no specific pattern for environmentally-compatible urban development, such as green city, is determined. Analysis of the green city index in Mashhad metropolis can considerably contribute to urban managers and planners in addition to providing a pattern for evaluating the present situation in other cities of Iran and improving the quality of life regardless of the current status of the urban environment in Iranian cities; we can preserve these environments as parts of the natural environment for future generations.   Methodology In terms of its goal, the present study is an applied one; in the study, drawing upon other studies and library sources and considering the conditions of Iran and the metropolis of Mashhad in terms of green city, 14 quantitative indices were exerted. To this end, the required data for the quantitative indices was gathered by library research from the relevant institutions. Next, the weights of quantitative indices were determined using Shannon's entropy. Then, using the VIKOR method of multi-criteria decision-making, the status of various districts of the metropolis of Mashhad in terms of quantitative indices of green city was determined. Finally, the map of the spatial distribution of quantitative indices was drawn using the ARC GIS software package.   Results and discussion In this study, to analyze the status of the metropolis of Mashhad in terms of green city features, 14 quantitative indices were used. Considering the value of the VIKOR index ranges from 0 to 1, various districts of Mashhad can be classified into five categories; very satisfactory, satisfactory, average, unsatisfactory, and very unsatisfactory in terms of quantitative indices of green city. The results of the current situation of Mashhad showed that in terms of objective INDICATORS of the green city, District 9 of Mashhad metropolis with a value of VIKOR index of 0.056 is in first place, and the seventh region with a value of VIKOR index of 0.433 is in second place. Also, based on the results of this part of the research, District 5, with the value of VIKOR index of 0.969, is in the last rank in terms of objective characteristics of the green city.   Conclusion Similarly, the results of studies by Afshar (2011) and Shabani et al. (2017) on Tehran metropolis are indicative of the unsatisfactory situation of Tehran (the biggest metropolis of Iran) in terms of green city features. Comparing the results of the studies by Afshar (2011) and Shabani et al. (2017) with the present study on Mashhad (the second biggest metropolis of Iran) reveals the necessity for a comprehensive plan toward achieving green cities. It should be mentioned that, due to the specific conditions of Mashhad metropolis and availability or unavailability of the required data, the indices used in the present study are somewhat different from the ones used by Afshar (2011) and Shabani et al. (2017).   Funding There is no funding support.   Authors’ Contribution All of the authors approved the content of the manuscript and agreed on all aspects of the work.     Conflict of Interest Authors declared no conflict of interest.   Acknowledgments We are grateful to all the scientific

Background: Evaluating universities is of utmost importance for promoting their quality. To meet this demand, determining the PERFORMANCE INDICATORS seems inevitable.Materials and methods: In this descriptive study, a questionnaire including 16 components (factors) and 216 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS was formulated and distributed among 150 medical authorities in IranResults: Factors such as "medical information center", "publications", "universities aims and destinations" had the highest preference, whereas, factors related to universities graduation and financial-official affaires were of lower prference.Conclusion: These 16 components evaluated in this research, had different importance and preference. Promoting and developing medical information centers are strongly recommended.

Purpose: Examines compatibility of seven national libraries’ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (PIs) against ISO 28118 standard. Methodology: The PIs of Library of Congress, National Library of Australia, National Diet Library, Library and Archives Canada, British Library, National Library of France, Swiss National Library, National Library of Spain were obtained by e-mail and grouped according to ISO 28118. Findings: The national libraries have developed more PIs with regard to accessibility to resources and services, digitalization, developing a national collection, accordingly. It seems that accessibility is even more important for them than their depository mandate. Conclustion: ISO 28118 standard is compatible with requirements of national libraries.

Objective: In this study we tried to measure the impact of information literacy of public librarians on library PERFORMANCE INDICATORS including loan, membership, and visit activities.Method: For this purposeT we planned a survey. A questionnaire of Information Literacy was distributed among librarians in 32 public libraries in Tehran who were selected randomly. The aim was to measure the score of information literacy among them. Then the number of loan, members, and visits in the year 1389 were extracted from each library and were matched with the librarian's information literacy scores. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to show the effect of information literacy on these PERFORMANCE INDICATORS.Results: According to the research findings, information literacy of public librarians in Tehran is higher than the average. But information literacy of librarians has no significant correlation with the PERFORMANCE INDICATORS.Originality / value: We showed that there is a fundamental problem in organizing public libraries in line with the conditions and needs of our society. This problem causes the information literacy of librarians to be ineffective on the library PERFORMANCE.

Background: The existed difference statistical INDICATORS is necessary to measure the efficiency of the health organization and as an exact strategy, could be removed the developed problems in heath services sectors.Materials and methods: This is a descriptive research as a cross sectional study throughout obstetric and gynecology wards in the general hospital of RASOOL. The questionnaires and statistical Forms applied for data gathering. The methods were completed questionnaires, statistical Forms, face to face interviews and observation. The Delphi technique, standardized questionnaires and references’ text books used to determining the reliability and validity. Data analysis was done by using likret ranking.results: The results showed that some INDICATORS, such as inpatient bed occupied rate (63%), bed turnover interval (5) & mean length of stay (4), patient per nurse (19), meanwhile service education (10), staff per active bed (1for 12), midwife per delivery bed (0), staff (50.9%) and patient satisfaction (89%) were lower than expected. Some INDICATORS such as rooming in technique (100%), breast feeding (100%), patient information access from HIS system (100%), emergency and hostelling medicine access (100%), round and morning reports (100%), the mean admitted time in the ward (30 minutes), Infant and maternal mortality rate per total deliveries (0), and the percentage of trained patient (100%) were as expected. Some INDICATORS such as expert physician per active bed (1 for 7) and C/S per total delivery ratio (69%) which was higher than expected, and the necessary data for calculating book & papers per assistant professor & non colonial infection rate were not found.Conclusion: Hospital INDICATORS showed the PERFORMANCE of hospitals in the various bases. Therefore, the broad attentions to these INDICATORS are necessary. Meanwhile, it should be compared them and to distinct time periods.
