distinguishing the susceptible areas to landslide using different landslide susceptibility mapping (lsm) models is one of the primitive and basic works to reduce probable damages and reduce risk. the main purpose of this research is the efficiency evaluation of four methods including information value (winf), valuing area accumulation (wa), analytical hierarchy process (ahp), kopta-joshi propos...

â â â  in the last years, have been accelerated increased the damages of landslides by natural and anthropogenic factors. one of the main solutions to decrease landslide hazards is avoid from prone areas. for this purpose, it is necessary to prepare the landslide susceptibility map. in this research, after field studies in the ilam dam basin, nine factors including slope gradient, aspect, eleva...

Culture shapes the emotions people feel and want to feel. In Western cultures, happiness is an emotion that many people want to feel. Although experiencing happiness is associated with increased well-being and psychological health, recent evidence suggests wanting to feel happy to an extreme degree, or, highly valuing happiness leads to decreased well-being. To examine whether these effects of ...

We contribute to feminist and gender scholarship on cultural notions of motherhood by analyzing the importance of motherhood among mothers and non-mothers. Using a national probability sample (N = 2,519) of U.S. women ages 25-45, we find a continuous distribution of scores measuring perceptions of the importance of motherhood among both groups. Employing OLS multiple regression, we examine why ...

This study investigates how students understand and apply the area under the curve concept and the integral-area relation in solving introductory physics problems. We interviewed 20 students in the first semester and 15 students from the same cohort in the second semester of a calculus-based physics course sequence on several problems involving the area under the curve concept. We found that on...

Four studies examined the effects of nature on valuing intrinsic and extrinsic aspirations. Intrinsic aspirations reflected prosocial and other-focused value orientations, and extrinsic aspirations predicted self-focused value orientations. Participants immersed in natural environments reported higher valuing of intrinsic aspirations and lower valuing of extrinsic aspirations, whereas those imm...

Given the importance of economic training, it has been successfully incorporated in the elementary school curricula in Australia, China, and Scotland. However, the absence of such topic within the Iranian curriculum requires a model based on the successful experiences of these countries. The selected three curricula were initially described, then interpreted, categorized, and finally compared a...
