Today, PRA reporting to private institutions that disseminate information, and especially prices in the world oil market, play an important role in determining the price of oil in the physical and paper markets. Concerns over the activities of these institutions have led to the formation of oversight bodies. However, the question remains as to what is the appropriate model for the interaction of price reporting institutions and supervisory bodies in a way that results in a more efficient oil pricing mechanism. The purpose of the present study is to review the theoretical foundations of the activities of price reporting institutions and supervisory institutions, using a data-base theory and using the opinions of experts in global oil markets, to provide a model for the relationship of these actors. Following the implementation of the foundation's data strategy, 60 concepts were constructed, categorized into 7 sub-categories and 4 main ones. At the theoretical coding stage, a conceptual model was developed for the relationship between supervisory bodies and price reporting institutions. Manuscript profile -

This study has been done with foresight approach and aims to identify strategic factors affecting the future of public trust in Islamic Republic of Iran on the horizon 2045. This research in terms of nature is descriptive-analytical and methodologically is based on mixed approach (qualitative-quantitative). Therefore, after conducting library studies and literature review and interviews with experts, a list of effective factors of public trust in Islamic Republic of Iran by using Delphi method was found and then these factors were minimized from 58 to 15 items. Then, by using structural analysis and the Cross-Impact Matrix was designed and by forming a panel consisting 11 experts and gathering their opinions about these factors, necessary data were entered into the matrix. By analyzing collected data, the influence of each factor was evaluated in MICMAC software. According to the results of this research, five factors including "combating corruption", "transparency", "not preferring of individual interests on public interest", "realization of social justice", and "honesty and integrity of the authorities" were identified as strategic effective factors on the future of public trust in Islamic Republic of Iran.

First, the system inputs, which are in fact the characteristics of risk assessment for the exploration and development of oil and gas fields, were extracted. In continuation, the knowledge base of the system, the most important part of which is considered to be in the form of if-then rules and based on the opinions of experts in the upstream part of the oil industry. To do this, the degree of system accuracy is measured in two stages based on expert comments. Based on the Likert scale and presenting a questionnaire to the experts, Student's t-test was performed and out of 48 defined indicators, 42 indicators were selected as the final index. In the next step, the data validation of an oil field in the south of the country was provided to the oil industry experts and they were asked to evaluate the output of the system. Finally, the opinions of experts were compared with the output of the expert system and based on the criterion of mean square error (MSE) and a small difference between the average opinion of experts and the output of the system, it was determined that the designed expert system has sufficient accuracy and validity for future studies.
