Mohammad Taqi Shorideh, known as Fasih-ul-Mulk, was a prominent poet in Shiraz during the Qajar era, whose work provides a critical lens on social issues of his time. His poetry, consisting of approximately 14,000 verses, employs satire, parody, and humor to critique poverty, ignorance, corruption, and ethnic bias. This study explores Shorideh's unique approach to social commentary through his poetic language, which is noted for its lofty satire and occasional bluntness. By comparing his work with that of other notable poets such as Abid Zakani and Yaqma Jandaghi, the paper highlights Shorideh's distinctive voice in addressing societal challenges. The analysis categorizes his critical perspectives, showcasing how his poetry reflects and critiques the socio-political fabric of his era.

I aim to generalize Bessel equations within the framework of spinor geometry. Historically, when Dirac and Laplace embarked on their exploration of mathematical physics, they primarily dealt with differential equations. The Dirac operator played a pivotal role, necessitating the development of solutions to Bessel equations through the method of separation of variables and technical calculations in Clifford algebra. The resultant solutions are spinor and Clifford fields, with components reliant on ordinary Bessel functions. This work extends these equations in the context of distributions, yielding spinor and Clifford Bessel distributions with compact support. The methodology employed includes the separation of variables and advanced calculations within Clifford algebra.

Arizona public colleges face many challenges including increasing competition from online programs, changing demographics with an influx of Hispanic people, decreasing student retention rates, decreases in funding, and increasing demands for higher education. The problem is a low level of job satisfaction of Hispanic faculty in multicultural colleges as shown in recent studies. Literature suggests that increasing faculty job satisfaction may help the organization improve performance. The academic college dean’s leadership style correlates with faculty job satisfaction. This study examined the relationship between deans’ transactional and transformational leadership qualities and overall job satisfaction of the faculty who serve under them. The purpose was to examine the relationship between perceived dean leadership behaviors and faculty job satisfaction. Correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to examine the relationship between eight academic leadership attributes and faculty overall job satisfaction. One hundred twenty-two faculty members from two public colleges in Arizona evaluated their immediate academic deans’ transactional and transformational leadership behaviors and gave a self-rating of overall job satisfaction. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X) was used to measure the leadership attributes while overall job satisfaction was measured using a multidimensional job satisfaction scale to establish quantifiable variables for statistical analysis. Seven of the eight leadership attributes had a statistically significant relationship with job satisfaction except for active management by exception. In addition, effect sizes were medium to large. A multiple regression analysis supplemented the bivariate correlation analyses and showed that combined leadership attributes had a strong relationship with job satisfaction with the overall effect size being large in magnitude. This study may encourage the use of all transformational leadership traits and the transactional leadership trait, contingent rewards, to improve job satisfaction. Leaders may avoid the transactional leadership traits, passive management by exception and active management by exception, due to their negative relationship with job satisfaction. Additional research, perhaps a qualitative study, could investigate the cause of each relationship found in this study. Researchers could survey other industries and geographical areas, such as a manufacturing industry or higher education in the northeast, to provide a comparison.

PbO was explored as a highly efficient, simple, cheap, and recyclable catalyst for the fast synthesis of 1H-pyrazolo[1,2-b]phthalazine-5,10-dione derivatives via a one-pot three-component reaction of phthalhydrazide, aromatic aldehyde, and malononitrile under solvent-free conditions at 80 °C. Furthermore, nanosized PbO particles were prepared by the two conventional methods of planetary ball milling and dispersion of commercial PbO in n-octane, and their catalytic performances were compared with the commercial bulk PbO. The prepared nano-PbO via ball milling was characterized by SEM, XRD, EDX, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The present protocol conveyed major advantages such as the use of an inexpensive and readily available catalyst, easy workup and purification of products by non-chromatographic method, low reaction times, and improved yields under relatively environmentally benign conditions. The non-toxic catalyst was conveniently recyclable and could be reused several times without loss of activity.
