Abstract
Rasā’el are the six prose pieces by Sa’dî which are usually published in his oeuvre. Since the first attempts to publish the scientific edition of his oeuvre, the question of these writing’s authorship was central to the topic. Different researchers have done some study on these six treatises and given some answers to the problem of their authorship attribution. It is meant in this dissertation, to quantitatively analyze the Rasā’el using stylometry and authorship attribution techniques and compare it with Golestān - the known work of Sa’dî. We have used two different techniques to do our analysis. The first technique used is characteristic curves proposed by Mendenhall. The second is a quantitative model to explain the repetition and distribution of vocabulary in each piece of writing. Ultimately, our answers fit with the Forughî’s guess about these writings. Three of these writings (Nasîhat ul muluk, Aql o eshq, and ankîyāno) are surely written by Sa’dî. Taqrîrāt-e salāse and dar taqrîr-e dîbāche are not written by Sa’dî. Majāles-e panjgāne’s author isn’t Sa’dî, but it is possible that the content is Sa’dî’s speeches for people.

Abstract
The problem of discovering the identity of anonymous authors has engaged humans' attention during the ages. In present times, with the revolution brought about by digital computing and electronic corpora, and also with the applications made available by stylometry research in forensic linguistics, systematic analysis of texts in different languages has expanded the understanding of researchers on the different aspects of linguistic styles.
In the present study, the possibility of authorship attribution based on idiolect has been investigated in Farsi. One of the linguistic elements that is claimed to be the seat for idiolect is function words. Function words have been the focus of attention in the authorship attribution research since it has been shown that they are processed unconsciously, have high frequency in texts, and remain independent of text topic. In this paper, the possibility of differentiating texts written by different authors has been studied using Farsi function words. The research questions were: 1) Are Farsi functions words capable of differentiating authors in Farsi prose? 2) Of monograms, bigrams, and trigrams, which one is the most efficient in differentiating author styles? 3) What is the minimum cut-off point for successful differentiation of author styles in Farsi?
First, a corpus of five Iranian scholars’ writings was compiled, normalized and divided into different sample texts. Then 20 most frequent words were extracted from different author samples and n-gram sequences (up to tri-grams) were analyzed using principal component analysis and cluster analysis in the Stylo package of R.
Findings showed that function words in Farsi were capable of differentiating authors’ writings with monogram words performing better than bi-gram and tri-grams in small size samples. Findings also indicated that under the experimental conditions used in this study, the minimum number of words for a text to be successfully attributed to an author is about 4000 words. This cut-off point is reached using 20 most frequent function words. It is concluded that different authors don't use function words in the same manner. In fact, while some high-frequency function words appear in the writings of all authors, they are given different priorities by different authors.

Abstract
After adventing of computers in the Middle of the 20th century and extensive production of miraculous literature and artistic works by it without any direct intervention of human being, the ways of legal protection of these kinds of works have been challenged. Questions like authorship, duration of protection and moral right in the computer-generated-works (CGW) should be decided in copyright laws. Although some statute laws such as England Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 have specified obviously some legal aspects of these kinds of works, but it's position has yet to be determined in many countries like USA, France and Germany. Current Iran’s copyright law which is under the influence of France intellectual property law, also has not yet been proceeding to this issue. However, considering the expeditious increasing of CGW productions and its economic value, it seems that nowadays the suitable reaction of legislatures and protection of them at least under »sui generis right« are necessary.

Abstract
The present study analyses the status of researchers in the field of Persian Literature with a scientometric approach based on the articles of Persian journals in the field of Persian Literature and tries to determine the importance and influence of each of the authors and research institutions in the field of Iranian academic Persian Literature, provided the possibility of evaluating the previous scientific policies of the country in this field. In this research, first, the trend of the rise and fall of the number of articles and co-authorship patterns over time has been investigated and researchers with the largest number of articles have been identified. In the following, after the formation of the co-authorship network, the relationships and importance of authors in this field have been investigated. Observations indicate that the number of articles has grown greatly since the 2000. According to the present research, despite the increase in the number of three-person articles, the collaboration of two authors in writing articles is still considered the most common pattern of co-authorship. According to the results of this study, the scientific centre of Tarbiat Modares University and Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies and the scientific centre of the University of Isfahan are the most influential research centres in terms of publishing scientific articles in the field of Persian literature in Iran.

Abstract
International collaboration is the key element to expand the horizons of knowledge and technology and to solve sustainability problems. To plan and implement this issue as effectively as possible, this study analyzed the lived experiences of agricultural students about the benefits and challenges of international research collaboration. This applied research used a mixed-method approach in two steps. First, an interview was done with PhD-agriculture students at the University of Tehran, who had published at least one article with international co-authorship in an international journal. Interviews were continued with 19 participants until the saturation point was reached. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the six stages of thematic analysis of Clarke and Braun (2006) and by conducting MAXQDA software. Secondly, a questionnaire was developed and conducted to investigate the importance of each of the items from the same 19 students who participated in the interview step. In this step, descriptive statistics were done by using SPSS software/ver23. Percentage, mean, and standard deviation were calculated for descriptive analysis. The findings showed that the international research collaboration had 24 benefit codes in the four dimensions of communication, scientific-research, academic, and personal-professional. On the other hand, 17 challenge codes were categorized into three groups of personal, motivational, and attitudinal group; managing the research and publication process; and cultural, technical, and economic group. Based on the means of benefits and challenges of students’ international research collaboration, the first ranks were “academic” with a mean of 4.06, and “personal, motivational, attitudinal” with a mean of 4.28 for benefits and challenges, respectively. According to the findings, building teamwork skills in higher education is recommended as it can positively promote students’ collaboration with others for research projects. This original and innovative study has theoretical and practical implications and value. The results are beneficial for universities to make decisions and plan activities that enhance students’ international research collaboration.
