Abstract
After the victory of the Islamic revolution, a new form of attitude towards science and technology was formed in Iran. This scientific discourse was directly influenced by the Islamic revolution and Islamic ideology and formulated new values and goals for the development of science and technology. After the revolution, since the statesmen considered science and technology as one of the key factors for the development and excellence of the society, they formed scientific policies and plans in order to realize the revolutionary and Islamic goals. This attitude towards science and technology in Iran during that period had a significant impact on the country's scientific and technological development. Considering the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been at the helm of scientific leadership in the region after 1357, Iran and its role in the development of scientific power in post-revolution governments. In order to achieve this goal, the descriptive-analytical method and reliable statistics in domestic and foreign sources were used. The findings of the research showed that the type of discourse in different governments includes focusing on industrialization through the substitution of imports and capital resources (1360-1368), modernization and institutionalism and focusing on advanced technologies (1376-1368), focusing on technologies advanced, innovation and export development, and social justice mainly relying on knowledge industries (1384-1376), focusing on the transition of the industry towards knowledge-based innovation in the economy (1384-1392) and emphasizing the increase of international cooperation with an emphasis on identity and Rationality was in compilation and implementation (1392-1400). The results of the research show that in each period, according to the dominant discourse, measures such as the development of higher education and scientific research, the establishment of universities and research centers, and the creation of domestic and international scientific networks can be mentioned.

Abstract
As China's economic, technological and military power continues to rise, the US is increasingly concerned about Beijing's rising power. The United States views China's regional rise as a challenge to its hegemonic ambitions. China's increasing military power and political influence in East Asia has caused concern and suspicion among some of its neighbors and Washington. In the meantime, America for reasons such as; Countering the rise of China and supporting the freedom of navigation in this region has an active presence. Washington's effort to challenge China's maritime sovereignty reflects the United States' concern about China's rise and its determination to maintain its hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region. This causes the United States to try to create a ring of encirclement against China and contain it regionally and ultimately prevent the change of the balance of power to the detriment of Washington in East Asia. Thus, the research question is, what strategy does America follow to contain China's power in the South China Sea? The hypothesis that can be proposed is that considering that China's economic growth and the expansion of its maritime power are considered a strategic threat to the countries of the region and the United States; Therefore, Washington to prevent China from becoming a regional hegemon in East Asia; In an effort to prevent the rise and rise of China in the region, it has been found that this, while forming the balance of power in favor of Washington and its regional allies in East Asia, can help to secure the goals and interests of the United States in the region. Preventing China's rise to power and the containment and isolation of this country in the region, while shaping the balance of power in favor of Washington and its regional allies in East Asia, can greatly contribute to the development of influence and securing the goals and interests of the United States and its allies in the region.

Abstract
The increased use of thermal power plants has led to the spread of greenhouse gases in the air and has caused psychological problems for humans. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to measure the pollutants released by Sahand Bonab thermal power plant and to investigate the effects of this pollution on the psychological and psychological pressure of rural residents. The GWP100 method was used to measure the pollutants of the power plant and to measure the mental and emotional pressures of the citizens, a questionnaire was used to assess the psychological stress of Markham. The statistical population of this study is 10254 people over 15 years of age in 7 villages located in the greenhouse of the power plant. Using formulas and simple random sampling, 375 subjects were selected as sample size. The results showed that the most pollutants released are CO2 and NOx, which is 4.17 times the warm seasons in the seasons. Also, analysis of the results by using a Pearson test showed that six variables including neurological and disturbing variables p= 0.272, stress and psychological stress p= 0.325, feeling of energy decrease, p= 0.287, feeling of despair and disappointment in life p = 0.142, feeling Depression in life of p= 0.211 and change in behavior patterns in everyday life p= 0.269 had the most effect on air pollution. Also, mental and psychological stress in nearby villages was higher than in remote villages, more women than young men than older men and elderly people. The results of multivariate regression and path analysis showed that in general, the air pollution caused by the power plant has the ability to explain R2 = 37.42 percent of the changes related to the psychological and psychological pressure of the villagers. Finally, it can be said that thermal power plants have negative mental and psychological effects according to type of activity, type of age and gender of the villagers, which should be considered in the studies of the construction of power plants.

Abstract
In today's world, the process of globalization and communication and information innovations has brought the "cities" into an actor of national and global competition. No urban point in the world can rely on maintaining its traditional role in the urban hierarchy, as other urban areas compete in a network structure with other cities in order to enhance their position on the network and overcome other competitors. In contemporary cities, forces, activists, and urban actors face a different role in their political, economic, social, and cultural domains, with a view to their modern and highly sensitive interests, and therefore competition between the positive and the negative ones It has emerged or is underway. Given the importance of this, political geographers and geopolitics are studying the important process, which is in fact the "urban geopolitics", created in the wake of urban competition, and with the growing competition of urban action-makers and forwards ahead. , Pay. The present paper uses a descriptive-analytical method to make it clear that urban geopolitics, on the one hand, includes a set of common rivalries, ideas and perceptions of political factions, religious denominations, or other social centers that social groups It brings to the fore and creates a worldview for them. On the other hand, the concept of this survey shows how these perceptions, the field of decision-making by citizens, and the occurrence of competition, change, and sometimes even protests in urban environments. It then changes with inspiration from geopolitical conditions. Hence, a kind of geopolitical measure on a city scale has made cities important actors in diverse geographic areas. The results of this research show that the multi-dimensional phenomenon of the city is studied by political geographers and geopolitics, with emphasis on the pivotal elements of space, politics, power and competition.

Abstract
The migration of young people and the aging of rural communities, for reasons such as poverty and unemployment, will create a lot of need for identifying new approaches to the survival of rural communities. Small business entrepreneurship has an important role in reducing poverty and, ultimately, rural development. However, this kind of entrepreneurship faces many challenges in terms of environmental, economic and ... The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges of entrepreneurship in improving entrepreneurship, creating employment and sustainable income through setting up small businesses. The present research is aimed at applying the field of observation and control, and in terms of the nature and method of descriptive-analytical. The statistical population of the study consisted of rural households living in Bijar. According to the census of 1395, the population of this city was 89,162 persons, which according to the distribution of 44% of the rural population and 56% of the city. There are also 283 rural villages in the seaside district, among which 12 villages have entrepreneurship and 244 of them are households using the modified Cochran formula.

Abstract
The national strength of algebraic aggregation is a large number of positive and negative factors that are composed of numerous sources and resources. One of the important sources of national power in the world today and in the post-Cold War period is economic power, which is itself the bedrock of other superstructures, such as political, military, and so on. This research uses descriptive-analytical method and using library resources and field research to answer this question. What are the most important variables and indicators that shape economic power of countries? The findings of the research by examining library documents show that the four main components of economic power including infrastructure, production exchange, production level and financial resources can affect economic power. Meanwhile, 61 variables related to quadruple components were identified. Then, by using the Likert spectrum questionnaire, internal knowledge was measured to measure the importance of each of these variables. Accordingly, economic infrastructure, high-tech exports, food imports and international currency reserves were of high importance. On the other hand, variables such as the share of the poor in the consumption of national income, economic competition, foreign ownership, and commercial costs of violent crimes were of minor importance. Finally, it can be argued that countries have an obligation to take into account the factors and variables in the economic dimension to achieve their national interests and interests.

Abstract
There are several limiting factors to the development of cities. These factors lead cities to develop in certain directions. Air pollution as a major problem of metropolises can itself be considered as a limiting factor of urban development by urban decision makers. 4 relatively large power plants are operating in Mashhad. There are currently two power plants in the east of the city and two in the west of Mashhad. Most of the fuel in these power plants is gasoline and natural gas. Modeling the air pollutant emissions of these power plants and identifying the pattern of pollutant emissions across the city can play a key role in the quality of life and health of approximately 3.5 million Mashhad residents. The outputs of this model can also be used as an effective parameter in estimating the urban development model. In this study, the emission of NOX, CO and 10PM pollutants was modeled and evaluated using AERMOD software in Mashhad. Using Arc GIS software, the population affected by these air pollutants was determined by one year solar time, the concentration of pollutants in different areas of the city and the area affected by the pollution concentration range was determined.
