Introduction Over the last decade there has been a growing interest in the market orientation concept (Day, 1992; Grönroos, 1989; Webster, 1988, 1992) and its usefulness in increasing businesses’ economic performance (Jaworski and Kholi, 1993; Narver and Slater, 1990; Reukert 1992). In most studies market orientation is defined as either the adoption of a marketing concept (see Deng and Dart, 1...

introduction: ethical climate is a part of organizational culture. organizational values deal with ethical issues and determine what is considered ethically correct. the ethical climate of an organization can predict unethical and ethical behaviors. this study aimed to investigate and model the structural equations between the intention to quit and ethical climate, job satisfaction, and organiz...

Background: Academic motivation has always been considered by Researchers and specialists in educational psychology as a critical and essential aspect of education. With motivation, the students follow the necessary mobility for successful finishing an assignment and reach a goal by demonstrating a specific level of proficiency in their work that finally they can acquire the essential learning ...

Background: Academic motivation in students is one of the essential factors for academic achievement and growth of societies, which emphasizes the importance of examining academic motivation correlations. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the structural equation model of explaining academic motivation in students based on emotion regulation with the mediating role of academic self-effi...

The joints between segmental rings can withstand a certain amount of bending moment as well as axial and shear forces. Generally, in the structural analysis of tunnel segmental lining, the joints can be modeled as elastic hinges or rotational springs, and their rigidity should be demonstrated in terms of the rigidity of the joints or their rotational stiffness. Therefore, the bending moment act...

social apathy refers to avoidance from participation in social problems, discouragement and disinterest, civic disinvolvement and being inattentive to social, political, cultural subjects and social alienation happens when the individuals in relation to self, others and society at diverse forms feel powerless, abnormal, meaningless, socially isolated or hate the culture or themselves. the main ...

The Finite Element Method is a powerful numerical technique for solving ordinary and partial differential equations in a range of complex science and engineering applications, such as multi-domain analysis and structural engineering. It involves decomposing the analysis domain into a discrete mesh before constructing and then solving a system of equations built over mesh elements. The number of...

Sparsity constraints are now very popular to regularize inverse problems in the field of applied mathematics. Structural damage identification is a typical inverse problem of structural dynamics and Structural damage is a spatial sparse phenomenon, i.e., structural damage occurs, only part of elements or substructures are damaged. In this paper, a structural damage identification method based o...
