Purpose: The purpose of this applied research is to study the effectiveness of gamification on corporate training.  Methodology: A gamified course was designed and implemented to train the location of Fire Hosing Cabinet for 24 employees of a firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Using a quantitative quasi-experimental research plan (post-test only control group design) the participants of the study were randomly assigned to treatment (12) and control (12) groups and trained for a week.  Conclusion: The descriptive and interpretive result of the posttest analyses indicated the effectiveness of gamification of the training performed for the employees of the firefighting maintenance company in Iran Mall shopping Center in Tehran. Moreover, the descriptive result of Gamification Acceptance Questionnaire answered by the members of the experimental group after gamified training indicated that all the participants in the experimental group were satisfied with the gamified training course.

Heart disease-cardiovascular, cancer and obesity are the main causes of death and there are direct relationship between the consumption of high-fat foods and the incidence of these diseases. Therefore the demand for low-fat food products and probiotics has been dramatically increased. In this study, the effect of different levels of three hydrocolloids (inulin, chitosan and xanthan) at three levels (1, 2 and 3%) on survival of Lactobacillus acidophilus, physicochemical and sensory properties of yogurt during 15 days of storage was explored using a combined design. Increased levels of inulin and chitosan positively affected La-5 count, apparent viscosity, acidity and sensory scores during storage. Using graphical method of optimizing (overlaid contour plots), optimum ratios were: inulin 93.4%, xanthan 0.6% and chitosan 6%.

Physical fitness is considered as a key component for optimal performance in most sports. The aim of this study was to investigate neuromuscular and functional adaptations to two different training methods. For this purpose, 14 male volunteers were divided randomly into two groups. Group A (plyometric) trained with plyometric training and group B (combined) trained with traditional resistance training combined with plyometric training 3 days per week for 8 weeks. To evaluate muscle neural activity, before and after training programs, surface EMG was performed on vastus lateralis muscle. Also, to determine muscle strength and power, agility and speed of movement, 1RM, Bosco, Sargent jump, Hexagonal Obstacle and 35 m dash tests were used, respectively. Paired t-test and independent t-test were used to identify any significant differences (p£0.05). Results showed that SEMG increased in both groups (plyometric group 30.27%, p£0.11; combined group 43.78%, p£0.05). In Bosco, Sargent jump, Hexagonal Obstacle and 35 m dash tests, plyometric group had better results than combined group but in 1RM test combined group had better results than plyometric group. It can be concluded that possibly, for short-term periods (8 weeks), plyometric training alone would be more effective than combined training (resistance and plyometric) in targeted exercise performance.

The purpose of this study is to design a dynamic organizational training model in Bank Mellat in Yazd using a combined approach. This research is mixed (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of applied-developmental purpose and in terms of data nature. In the qualitative stage of the research, using semi-structured non-random purposeful interviews with 16 university experts, senior managers, heads and deputies of Bank Mellat, the components of a dynamic education system were identified by data saturation criteria. Quantitatively, due to the small statistical population of the research; The questionnaire was distributed among all branch managers, experts and employees working in Bank Mellat-Yazd branches and using structural equation modeling by AMOS software; Fitting all the main factors of the designed quality model; Evaluated. Based on the results of the qualitative part of the research; Dimensions of the dynamic organizational education system model include competency, flexibility and foresight. Also based on the results of the quantitative research section; the designed pattern has a proper fit.

Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of effective school-based self-control skill training on increasing psychological hardiness and self-efficacy of male students of the first secondary level.Method: This research is a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study included male students of the first secondary school in Qom city, 30 students were selected using the available sampling method and divided into two groups of 15 people completely randomly. Students in the experimental group participated in 8 sessions of the school-based self-control training program, and the control group did not receive training. Before and after the implementation of the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the psychological hardiness scale of Lang and Goulet (2003) and the self-efficacy scale of children and adolescents (SEQ-C). The data was analyzed using spss-22 software and through repeated measures analysis of variance test.Findings: The results showed that school-based self-control skill training has a significant effect on increasing students' psychological hardiness and self-efficacy (P<0.01). Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated that school-based self-control skill training can be an effective intervention in increasing psychological hardiness and self-efficacy in students.

AbstractPurpose: The velocity of change in the surrounding world has forced them to identify those factors which impact their change capacity. The present study was conducted to identify and prioritize influential factors on organizational change capacity.Methodology: In terms of purpose, this was explorative and applied research. Its population included ten familiar experts with research subjects in a research and training center. By reviewing the literature on change capacity, relevant, influential factors were identified, and they were concurred by the fuzzy Delphi technique, and then they were ranked. After recognizing influential factors, a pair comparisons questionnaire was distributed among ten experts, and after gathering the questionnaires, effecting factors were ranked using the Expert Choice11 Software package and AHP technique.Findings: Results show that organizational culture, structure, and style of leadership were the main factors that impacted change capacity.Conclusion: The influential factors can be divided into three categories: environmental, content, and structural elements. Environmental factors include environment and innovation; content factors include team working, intellectual capital, leadership, political behavior, and human resource management; Structural elements include strategy, structure, organizational policies, information technology, knowledge management, and technology. Value: This is the first time in the literature that the influential variables affecting the change capacity were recognized and categorized in a conceptual classification that has not been seen in the previous research.
