Culture is historical; hence deep understanding and solution of cultural problems requires an approach that takes the historicalness of culture into consideration. Generally, people think that culture is a ‘natural’ and ‘definite’ category which has always been and is in this form, while culture is diverse, volatile and historical. Genealogy is among theoretical-methodological traditions that study phenomena in the context of their historical evolution, and provides us with a suitable critical position for understanding of their current condition through identification of historical formations of phenomena. Genealogy, as theory and method, has its roots in the theoretical tradition which is predominately represented by Nietzsche and Foucault. In the present paper the ten-fold steps (such as power, resistance, discontinuity analysis, …) of conducting a genealogical research has been identified. Moreover, some of the techniques of a genealogical study as mentioned by Foucault, have been discussed. Also the relationship between archeology and genealogy has been elaborated and their epistemological or ontological orientations have been elucidated.

The present paper is an attempt to explore the possibility or impossibility of development of an Islamic social science. According to some arguments based on epistemology and logic of scientific growth, the main hypothesis of the present paper is that the development of an Islamic social science is possible in some respects and impossible in some other respects. The impossibility is mainly related to practical aspects rather than essential ones. In practice, impossibility is related to obstacles such as time-effectedness, lack of religious knowledge in all fields, lack of attention to other sources of knowledge and lack of reliance on reason and decontextualization of social science. Attempts have been made in the present paper to offer a broader perspective of Islamic social science by placing this concept in a dynamic model of scientific growth (dynamic model of production of knowledge). This image like any other knowledge will be subject to change and development and hence its message is that our theoretical efforts for the definition of relationship between religion and science and growth of Islamic social theories will be an open-ended current. Hence, one cannot define it once for all and consider it a complete task. These definitions and redefinitions will be part of religious social science.

The main objective of this paper is to discuss the possibility and nature of religious science from the viewpoint of transcendental philosophy. Hence in the first place, the ontological principles of transcendental philosophy are reviewed to explain the nature of human being, religion and science in the light of these principles. In the next step, on the basis of these principles, the main problem, that is, the identity, possibility and materialization of religious science and then the issue of contradiction between science and religion are discussed. On the basis of primacy of existence and man’s essential move in the curve of ascent, man and his knowledge on the one hand, and the world, Quran and the perfect man on the other, are all existential issues and are gradational. Hence cognition of science or religion is achieved when man through his perfection move ascends from material grade to be able to know the higher grades of existence, Quran and the perfect man.
The conclusion of the paper is that religious science is the result of the work of a person who, by means of Quran, traditions and the perfect man, become more acquainted with the system of divine names and attributes and through practicing his own knowledge, becomes divine and the vicegerent of God on the earth. Any science or technology produced by such a person is religious science or technology.

The national innovation system as the most important systemic approach to innovation includes the elements and connections that are in interaction with each other for the production, distribution and utilization of modern and useful knowledge and act within the borders of a country. One of these elements is the Research and Technology Organizations which are the connecting links between university, industry and government. Among the most prominent of these organizations in Iran is University Jihad. The present paper is an attempt to study the impact of organizational culture on the success or achievement of University Jihad. Hence after reviewing the related literature and interview with experts, the conceptual model was formulated and then after preparation of measurement tool and assessment of its validity and reliability, the questionnaire was prepared and distributed among a sample consisting of 252 people. The statistical population included faculty members of the University Jihad with at least two years of experience. The sample was collected through random stratified sampling method and the model was finalized through structural equation modeling. The findings of the research indicate that there is a meaningful positive relationship between organizational culture and organizational success and its aspects (financial, scientific, technological, social and economic). Among the variables of organizational culture, the ‘culture of learning incentive’ influences the organizational culture of the University Jihad more than other indicators. Also among the dimensions of organizational success or achievement, the social aspect of achievement has the highest impact on organizational success or achievement while financial aspect has the lowest impact. Given the significance of social aspect of success, one may conclude that the University Jihad should increase its success in boosting the national innovation system through playing a role in the development of new and key technologies, commercialization of required technologies and supporting the policies meant for technological development.

The main thrust of this paper is to study the impact of type of educational system (centralized, semi-centralized and decentralized) on the educational production. The impact may be studied from two perspectives: on the one hand, its indirect impact through three-fold aspects (economic, social and political) of development in each country, and its direct impact on the other. The research has been conducted through comparative, quantitative method or cross-country analysis, and the data of 70 countries related to 1999-2004 have been used.
The results of regression analysis indicate that economic development with 0.27 share, economic development with 0.14 share and social development with 0.29 share independently explain the dependent variable (educational production). Also the educational system with 0.38 share through three levels of development has a meaningful impact on the educational production. The results of structural equation modeling also indicate that the type of educational system and the three levels of development have their impacts on the educational production. The comparison of the educational systems leads to the conclusion that compared to the centralized and semi-centralized educational systems, the decentralized educational system enjoys higher educational production.

The present research aims to study the moderating role of organizational culture in relation to procedural justice and perceived inequity with benefits' satisfaction. The statistical population was the operational em-ployees of two productive companies in Isfahan city. Out of the total statistical population, 222 persons were selected with the use of convenient sampling. Research tools included organizational culture questionnaire with 6 items, procedural justice with 10 items, distributive justice (for assessment of negative and positive perceived inequity) with 8 items and benefits satisfaction with 9 items. The data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and moderated hierarchical regression analysis. The results show that there are signifi-cant relationship between benefits satisfaction and age, tenure, negative inequity, organizational culture and procedural justice. But there are no significant relationship between benefits satisfaction and gender and posi-tive inequity. The results of moderated hierarchical regression analysis show that organizational culture mod-erates the relationship between procedural justice with benefits satisfaction, i.e., the closer the organizational culture, the stronger the relationship between procedural justice and benefits satisfaction.
