On completion of my research, I will be pleased to send you a summary report detailing the results. Moreover, you have the right to withdraw at any time, and your data will be destroyed.

In this study I have ten questions as follows. If you like to contribute in this study please briefly answer the following questions and email your answers to me: mansourian@tmu.ac.ir
