A Continuous Monitoring of Quality and its Relation with the Optimum Management of Drainage Basins (A Case Study of tThe Catchment of Dez River in the Taleh Zang Upstream)
The purpose of this study was to compare the quality of water in Dez River in Taleh Zang's hydrometric station with the various national and international standards for the water used for drinking and agriculture sector. The method employed for conducting the research was descriptive-cross sectional. To study the quality and quality monitoring the water in Dez River, 392 samples were collected and analyzed, and then the results obtained from chemical analyzing of the water resources in the region were studied and interpreted. The obtained results were studied and compared according to the WHO standard, Scholler diagram and a number of tables and signs for determining the livestock drinking water quality. Most quality parameters have been of values within WHO allowable standard limits. Among all the quality variables studied, EC, TDS, pH, Ca, Mg, Na, So4 and Cl were within the standard limit and TH exceeded the limit. Regarding Scholler diagram, all studied parameters were evaluated as being well oriented. Using the agricultural classification of water, the Dez River was evaluated as being in the C2-S1 class. Furthermore, the quality of the river's water is suitable for livestock and poultry's drinking and is not problematic.

Social Networks, Cyberspace and Formation of Virtual Identity of the Users
Today's world is a world that has been affected by the plurality of values, a fragmented world, a world with various ways of living, a world in which, as “Sartre" puts it, values do not take precedence over us, but rather they are succeeding us. Therefore an era, in which we live, is called networked society, values are redefined every day, and these values have a decisive role in shaping our identity. In fact, today, the media have transcended geographical, cultural and political boundaries and by its growing and increasing expansion, it has gone beyond the socio-political sphere and has also affected the identity of contemporary human; in a way that, the identity of modern human can be called media identity. Therefore, more than any other time, there is a need for revealing identities and verification and acknowledgment of it by others within the network which can be employed as a fundamental force for understanding the world and introducing self to others. In the meantime, social networks from 2005 onwards have allocated most of the Internet users to themselves and by creating a virtual community and the like-minded groups they have played a great role in creating identity of the individuals. The present study, through the theoretical-analytical method, evaluates the role of these networks in creating and shaping people's identities.

Relationship between Corporate Governance and Firm Performance
This research focuses on the measurement of the quality of corporate governance and on whether there exists a relationship between corporate governance and firm performance for a sample of the Top 100 companies. With reference to the battery of models available from the literature and the Code of Corporate Governance applicable to Mauritius, a checklist measuring the effect of 13 key factors was developed and studied in relation to the Taffler model. Analysis from the results shows that on the overall, there is no difference in performance for companies having poor and excellent quality of governance. Hence no significant relationship has been found between corporate governance and financial performance.

Institutional Predictors of Corporate Governance
We studied panel data for corporate governance ratings in 51 countries between 1996 and 2005 to better understand what the country-level predictors of corporate governance legitimacy might be. Using neo-institutional theory, we found that all three forms of isomorphism influenced corporate governance at the national-level. Specifically, both coercive isomorphic pressures were positively related to perceived corporate governance legitimacy. In addition, both mimetic isomorphic pressures were positively related to perceived legitimacy. Finally, one normative pressure (e.g., religious tension) was negatively related to perceived legitimacy. This study refines and extends the governance literature, as well as the institutional perspective.
