Multidimensional Evaluation Framework and Classification Strategy for Low-Carbon Technologies in Office Buildings by Hongjiang Liu, Yuan Song, Yawei Du, Tao Feng, Zhihou Yang

“…To address this gap, this study develops a multidimensional decision-making system to quantify and rank low-carbon technologies for office buildings in Beijing. The method includes four core components: (1) establishing three archetypal models—low-rise (H ≤ 24 m), mid-rise (24 m < H ≤ 50 m), and high-rise (50 m < H ≤ 100 m) office buildings—based on 99 office buildings in Beijing; (2) classifying 19 key technologies into three clusters—Envelope Structure Optimization, Equipment Efficiency Enhancement, and Renewable Energy Utilization—using bibliometric analysis and policy norm screening; (3) developing a four-dimensional evaluation framework encompassing Carbon Reduction Degree (CRD), Economic Viability Degree (EVD), Technical Applicability Degree (TAD), and Carbon Intensity Degree (CID); and (4) conducting a comprehensive quantitative evaluation using the AHP-entropy-TOPSIS algorithm. …”

Education in ideological perspective by Masoud Khanjarkhani

“…The purpose of the research is to reflect on education in the perspective of ideology, which is an analysis of the contrast between realism and idealism; This research is an analytical-inferential method and in the form of a qualitative research, after explaining and explaining the ideology, the challenges of education in the present era were investigated and analyzed.According to the theoretical foundations, it can be assumed that, in case this thinking dominates the educational system, on the one hand, the goals, content, and even the method of education with foundations (science, religion, and philosophy), due to the dominance of pale ideology, and on the other hand The inconsistency of members and educational elements with the manifesto - in some cases - will make even the goals of the ideology not to be achieved. …”
