Findings: The study identified several significant challenges affecting HRM in Iraq's education system. Financial constraints, such as low salaries for educational staff and inadequate funding for schools, were pervasive. Infrastructural deficiencies, including old and poorly maintained school buildings, contributed to an unconducive learning environment. There was also a lack of technological integration, with schools insufficiently equipped and teachers untrained in using modern educational tools. Additional issues included inadequate parental and governmental support, a curriculum misaligned with societal and market needs, teacher demotivation, outdated assessment methods, and political instability influencing educational policies. Conclusion: Effective HRM practices, such as performance-based budgeting, financial decentralization, technological integration, and comprehensive teacher training programs, are essential for enhancing educator performance and improving educational quality.

Social Consequences of Water Development and Transfer Projects with Emphasis on the Concept of Justice (Case Study: Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province)
Authors: Jafari Azad Amir , Mirzaei Khalil , Seyfollahi Seyfollah
Published: August 2024

The issue of "water," due to its scarcity, determinacy, and uneven distribution across Iran's geography, has become a significant social subject. In recent decades, the proliferation and multiplicity of water-centric development projects, such as "inter-basin water transfer" projects defined and implemented based on the abundance of water in one area and its shortage in another, have lacked a precise and sensitive social perspective, turning these projects into focal points of various social issues. Despite legal requirements that all development projects, including those in the water sector, must undergo social and environmental impact assessments before implementation, a review of the history of these projects and the current situation of the host regions and provinces indicates that these assessments have either not been properly conducted or have been performed superficially. Consequently, these areas are now severely affected by the social consequences of the project's implementation. This research fundamentally aims to deeply study and identify the social impacts and consequences of water transfer projects after their implementation at the transfer origin, selecting Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province as the most contentious province in the country regarding water transfer for its statistical population and research field. To utilize diverse and real data from the research field and achieve a broad and generalizable theoretical perspective on this subject, "Grounded Theory" has been chosen as the research method. This method's capabilities provide a wide range of quantitative and qualitative data for examination and analysis. Ultimately, the analysis of data obtained from documents, interviews, social media, articles, and surveys indicates the profound impacts of these projects in the implementation areas in terms of livelihood, inequality, social justice, citizenship, and other social indicators.
The Examination of the Islamic Republic's Inclination towards Alliance with Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict and its Impact on Iran's Strategic Relations with Azerbaijan
Authors: bahmani zahir , Ravanbod Amin , Haghigi Ali Mohammad
Published: August 2024

The unresolved conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh is one of the most concerning unresolved conflicts in the Caucasus region, both because it involves two independent countries and because the three main regional powers—Russia, Turkey, and Iran—all have different stances. This situation undermines security across the Caucasus and the Black Sea region, polarizing countries and their allies, and creating a security vacuum that encourages the proliferation of transnational security challenges. Besides the severe security risks the region may face, the South Caucasus has already experienced significant economic pressure due to war and, primarily, the extensive sanctions against Russia. The South Caucasus has a long history of conflicts and varying degrees of Russian dominance, which may now persist and even worsen. However, there is also the possibility that the shock of Russia's actions in Ukraine and the shift in the international order may alter historical behavioral patterns. Research findings indicate that Russia and Iran are considered Armenian allies, while Turkey and Israel support Azerbaijan. Russia remains a major stakeholder in the region concerning the conflict. Historically, Moscow has been linked to the conflicts due to the shared heritage of the Soviet Union. The Russians are also primarily credited by Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh for their continuous involvement in various peace processes in an attempt to find a peaceful solution. Turkey has a strong relationship with its Turkic brothers in Azerbaijan and views it as a gateway to the region. This war has significantly changed the balance of power in the region. While Azerbaijan now clearly dominates the regional political and military scene, Armenia's power and influence have been severely weakened.

Iran's revolution, as it had goals and origins of desires that all active groups in the revolution and the masses expected, is well represented in slogans, demonstrations, speeches, and demands of the revolutionaries with key slogans: Independence, Freedom, Islamic Republic becoming operational. Alongside, issues such as attention to social justice are raised. This important orientation aims to minimize the gap between the rich and the poor in society. The most fundamental demands of the people become apparent in the key slogan of the Islamic Revolution. Revolutions are attractive phenomena in the field of sociology and political sciences, which even after several years, have the capability of research and investigation. While the Iranian Revolution, with its components, can be a phenomenon with high research capability subject to continuous revisions and evolutionary criticisms based on its accepted principles. Regarding the Islamic Revolution, numerous articles have been published, including Mustafa Koakabian's article titled "Discourse on Freedom and Democracy in the Islamic Revolution of Iran", which focuses more on the freedom discussion in slogans and demands of the masses and the claims of active groups or, in a sense, revolutionaries; and mentions the role of active clergymen in the revolution who have spoken about or elaborated on freedom. He strives to accurately and thoroughly look at the post-revolution aspect and even examines the effects of the fundamental slogans of the revolutionaries in the text of the constitution. This article focuses more on the value of freedom in the Islamic Revolution and elaborates and explains it. Values in any society form the key elements of that society's culture and guide and lead in performing social actions. Recognizing these values has always been one of the important issues for thinkers in the social sciences and humanities.

Astarabad, known today as Gorgan, emerged as a military fortress in northern Iran during the Sasanian era and has always been recognized as one of the important cities and centers in northern Iran. The settlement of various ethnic groups, including Persian, Turkmen, Turk, Kurd, Baluch, Sistani, Kazakh, Khorasani, etc., who gradually migrated to this region, created a mosaic of ethnicities, leading to mutual influence of different cultures and traditions on one another, turning this region into a microcosm of Iran. In the late Qajar period, the Constitutional Revolution had a profound and rapid impact on this region as a fundamental movement. The general discontent of the local population with the behavior of the Qajar Khans in Astarabad, given the settlement of some of the nobility of this dynasty in this area, as well as the presence and influence of scholars and intellectuals in society, were among the main reasons for intensifying the effectiveness of the aforementioned movement. In these circumstances, the modernist policies and reformist tendencies of the First Pahlavi, and consequently the implementation of the Baladiyeh law in Astarabad, like other cities, led to not only an alteration in the urban landscape and the establishment of infrastructural developments but also deep social and cultural changes and transformations in the behavior of people, especially the middle class in Astarabad.
