OFFICIAL CARRIER 26th Annual IAEE International Conference NEW CHALLENGES FOR ENERGY DECISION MAKERS Dear Energy Professional, The time for the 26th Annual IAEE Conference, June 4-7, 2003, is fast approaching. Our Call for Papers was met with an extraordinary response. We have received almost 270 abstracts, which is an all-time high. This reflects not only on the growing worldwide interest in the activities of our organization, but also the importance of the issues that the IAEE is concerned with, especially in today’s world. Energy economics issues are becoming key elements in the decision- making processes of world leaders; hence the subject of our conference, “New Challenges for Energy Decision Makers,” cannot be more timely. The number of concurrent sessions had to be expanded to accommodate the large number of papers submitted. At this point, I would like to thank all of those who devoted the time and effort to writing and submitting papers. The Committee reviewing papers appreciated the generally high quality of papers received. Although it was not possible to accommodate all papers into concurrent sessions, the poster sessions will be organized to maximize the number of papers to be pre- sented. Due to the overwhelming response, we have decided to extend the conference by 1/2 a day on Saturday, June 7. Whoever can survive this ordeal will be rewarded for their endurance and stamina at a “Survivor’s Party” at the oldest brewery and pub in Prague with hearty meals, schnapps, and an ocean of the finest beer in the world. The conference venue, Hotel Dorint Don Giovanni in Prague, is cooperating closely with IAEE Headquarters in making this conference take place in the most pleasant setting possible. For those who wish to stay at this hotel during the conference, the rates are from Euro 151 to 171 per room per night. The organizing committee, the IAEE Headquarters team, and council members are working hard to make you all happy. Please reward us with your presence at this conference. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact either the organizing committee or IAEE Headquarters.

    Science Arena Publications Specialty Journal of Politics and Law ISSN: 2520-3282 Available online at www.sciarena.com 2018, Vol, 3 (4): 62-78 A Comparative Analysis of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and Bahrain's February 14th Movement Based on Goldstone's Fourth Generation Theory Ehsan Bagheri Dana1, Alireza Beygi1, Peyman Hassani2* 1 Islamic Studies and Political Science, Imam Sadiq University, Tehran, Iran, 2 Islamic Studies and Law, Imam Sadiq University, Tehran, Iran. *Corresponding Author Abstract: The comparative analysis of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and Bahrain's February 14th movement as two Islamic countries which have been highly affected by each other in various fields is of great importance. By adapting the most critical Western ideas about the Islamic Revolution of Iran and analyzing its similarities and differences with Bahrain's February 14th movement, some of their most significant similarities and differences can be found. The " Goldstone's fourth generation " theory, which was presented as one of the late theories in the cause of the revolution, was evaluated by some scholars of the Islamic revolution in Iran and is still under investigation. The present study aimed at explaining the similarities and differences between the two events and evaluate the influence Bahrain’s movement from the Islamic Revolution of Iran through the comparative analysis of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and Bahrain's February 14th movement based on Goldstone's fourth generation theory. The findings of this study which were obtained based on a descriptive- analytical method and collection of sources based on the library and interviews with elite indicated that the Bahrain’s system in Bahrain's February 14th movement attempted to deny the effect of the Iranian revolution on Bahrain and introduce Bahrain's developments due to religious differences between Shiite and Sunni.

They study academic courses along with some seminary courses such as Qur’anic interpretation, fiqh, usul-e fiqh, and so on. Also, it is noteworthy that students at this university should learn two foreign languages. One is Arabic. learning Arabic is mandatory. The second is on the will of the students. they can choose English or french. But most of the students choose to learn English. This university is somehow, but not exactly, similar to seminaries in the United States.

  • Despite Infighting and Volatility, Iran Maintains Aggressive Cyber Operations Structure
    CYBER THREAT ANALYSIS | Despite Infighting and Volatility, Iran Maintains Aggressive Cyber Operations Structure By Insikt Group® CTA-IR-2020-0409 CYBER THREAT ANALYSIS | IRAN Recorded Future’s Insikt Group® is conducting ongoing research on the organizations involved in Iran’s cyber program. This report serves to provide greater insight into the major military and intelligence bodies involved in Iran’s offensive cyber program. Although offensive cyber capabilities include domestic attacks, we researched those organizations with declared international missions. Due to the secretive nature of some organizations and lack of verifiable information, we incorporated competing hypotheses to adhere to industry analytic standards. For the purposes of this research, we investigated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including the Basij, as well as the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Force Logistics (MODAFL). Although the report suggests links between a select number of advanced persistent threat (APT) groups and certain intelligence organizations, we are unable to conclusively assign them to specific agencies due to gaps in information about each group. The sources for our research primarily include intelligence surfaced in the Recorded Future® Platform, industry research released by Symantec, FireEye, ClearSky, and PaloAlto, among others, and open source news reports. Executive Summary While the Iranian cyber program remains at the forefront of Tehran’s asymmetric capabilities, its intelligence apparatus is colored by various dysfunctions and seemingly destabilizing traits. In particular, the politicization of its various intelligence agencies and ensuing domestic feuds have reportedly polarized officer-level rank and file throughout the various security crises of the Islamic Republic.

  • The Estimation of the Potential Capacity of Zakah a Case Study of Iran
    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res., 3(3)528-531, 2013 ISSN 2090-4304 Journal of Basic and Applied © 2013, TextRoad Publication Scientific Research www.textroad.com The Estimation of the Potential Capacity of Zakah A Case Study of Iran Farshad Sameni Keivani*1, Mohammad Jouzbarkand1, Mohsen Khodadadi1, Vahdat Aghajani2 1 Department of Accounting, Roudsar and Amlash Branch, Islamic Azad University, Roudsar, Iran 2 Department of Accounting, Ardabil Branch, Islamic Azad University, Ardabil, Iran ABSTRACT The charity is one of the stable taxes of Islamic government and its most important consumption is removing poverty of Community. It also is one of the important factors in Islamic economy. Based or juridical bases, zakah is essential for some commodity, these commodities are as following. Quadruplet corn (wheat, barley, dates and raisin) triad animals (camel, cow and sheep) and current gold and silver coins each of these commodities is payable based on value and condition that is special to them. The survey with considering juridical literature establish zakah functions and provide suitable and applying model to compute potential capacity of charity and by applying this model compute potential capacity of charity from 2000 to 2010 in Iran. The results of surrey show that zakah by itself is insufficient to remove poverty in community and we should use another types of Islamic taxes. KEY WORDS: Zakah, Islamic Tax, Poverty, Iran INTRODUCTION Zakah is one of the most important source of Islamic government and constituent of constant taxes. Mater of charity in Quran is as important as pray. And Quran wherever command to pray, command to charity too many people confirm zakah as a condition for qualifying of pray.

  • Mehdi Khalaji
    IRAN’S REGIME OF RELIGION Mehdi Khalaji Since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the Islamic Republic has modernized and bureau- cratized the clerical establishment, redefined religion and created institutions to enforce this new definition. The effect has been a transformation of religion into a symbolic form of capital. By monopolizing religious affairs, the political system has become a regime of religion in which the state plays the role of central banker for symbolic religious capital. Consequently, the expansion and monopolization of the religious market have helped the Islamic Republic increase the ranks of its supporters and beneficiaries significantly, even among critics of the government. This article demonstrates how the accumulation of reli- gious capital in the hands of the government mutually influences the nature of the state and the clerical establishment and will continue to do so in Iran’s uncertain future. “The problem is not one of constructing definitions of religion. It is a matter of discovering just what sorts of beliefs and practices support what sorts of faith under what sorts of conditions. Our problem, and it grows worse by the day, is not to define religion but to find it.” Clifford Geertz1 he political orientation of the Shiite clergy did not originate with the Iranian TRevolution in 1979. Shiism had political value in Iran long before the founding of the Islamic Republic. Five centuries ago, the Safavid dynasty established Shiism as the government’s official ideology. This was a historical turning point for the Shiite clerical establishment, which benefited from new political, social and eco- nomic privileges.
