Volume 5, Issue 3 (10-2022)
Abstract
Despite the impact of theoretical approaches explaining the concept of social security on the social security system, often in Iran, this concept does not have an independent status in sociological analysis and its theoretical analysis is reductionist and is usually considered as an economic concept. After reviewing and explaining the existing theories, the formation of theories was presented based on the three models of welfare state, good governance and governmantality. Their review reveals differences around the two issues of perceiving the power and purpose of social security. In the approaches of welfare state and good governance, power is understood in a structuralist, non-historical and hierarchical way. It is responsible for the implementation of social security programs But in the governance approach, it is understood as a special way of exercising power and governing over oneself and citizens to optimize living standards.Also, the critical evaluation of these theoretical models implies that the approaches that have considered social security as a text and discourse, with a critical, historical and discourse approach, unveil the values, assumptions and ideological dimensions and political rationality of social security. And they have more explanation.

Abstract
Introduction: The current study seeks to identify drivers and future scenarios of corporate governance in health companies.
Methods: The current research is practical in terms of orientation and its methodology is mixed. The theoretical community of the research are active experts in the capital market and corporate governance. The sampling method was done in a judgmental manner according to the expertise. The number of samples was equal to 10 people. The drivers of the research were obtained through literature review and interviews with experts. Screening and prioritization of drivers was done using two questionnaires, expert assessment and prioritization. These questionnaires were analyzed with two methods, fuzzy Delphi and Marcus.
Results: 24 drivers were obtained through literature review and 7 drivers were obtained through interviews with experts. Among the drivers of the research, 10 drivers had a diffusion number higher than 0.7 and were selected for the final ranking. The degree of priority of drivers screened with Marcus and considering three indicators of experts' expertise, severity of importance and degree of certainty was determined. The drivers, policies of governments regarding economic corruption and monitoring regulations of the TSE were respectively the most important drivers and were used to formulate research scenarios. To strengthen the research scenarios, the components of the root definition tool were used. The scenarios were: glass room, weak mechanisms, scattered world and dark room.
Conclusion: The practical proposals of the research were presented according to the ideal scenario (glass room). In this context, suggestions such as improving the organizational culture, strengthening the administrative organization, developing decision support systems for ranking health companies and continuously revising the corporate governance rules according to the necessities of business will help to improve corporate governance in the long term.

Volume 7, Issue 3 (12-2024)
Abstract
Research governance is a critical framework that ensures the integrity, quality, and ethical conduct of scientific research in various disciplines and includes a set of principles, guidelines, and working practices designed to maintain high standards throughout the research process, from conceptualization to publication of results and from ethical oversight, especially in human or animal clinical studies, to quality assurance and accountability, i.e., establishing clear lines of responsibility between researchers, institutions, and funding bodies, and compliance, i.e., ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, including data protection and intellectual property rights, as well as transparency in communications, information flow, findings, and conflicts of interest. This study conducted a narrative review of 80 articles related to research governance. For this purpose, and for a complete and comprehensive search of articles, the Google Scholar and Scopus databases were used. This review can familiarize policymakers and senior and middle managers in the field of health research with the term governance and its types, and explain the different models used in this field.
