Sciences

Taraneh Javanbakht's scientific papers were published in high-ranked journals in United States, Canada and France. Some of her papers were published in Plos One,^[48] Materials Science and Engineering,^[49] Journal of Biomedical Nanotechnology,^[50] Applied Surface Science^[51], Canadian Journal of Chemistry^[52], Journal of Nanoparticle Research^[53], Materials Science and Engineering^[54] and Journal of Biological Chemistry^[55].

Her research works include a variety of themes, such as thermal stability of mirrors when exposed to the synchrotron radiation,^[56] stabilization of antisense oligonucleotides,^[57] molecular cloning and regulation of gene expression,^[58] biomedical effects and hemocompatibility of biomaterials,^[59] surface properties of chemicals^[60] physicochemical characterization and analysis of microelectrode arrays^[61] and bactericidal properties of nanomaterials.^[62]

Philosophy

Taraneh Javanbakht's works are in several branches of philosophy. Her philosophical system, netism, including her theories in metaphysics, analytical philosophy, ethics and political philosophy, was published in the Journal of New Philosophy by the Tabatabai University in Iran in 2011 and 2012^[63][64] and by the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) in 2016.^[65] Some other parts of netism, including the aesthetics and epistemology, were republished by the Center for the Great Islamic Encyclopedia in 2016.^[66]

The genealogy, according to netism, has three steps: the Being tendential of itself, which is the universe, 2. the being tendential of himself that is the human being in his first step of existence, and 3. the being detendential of himself that is the human being in his second step of existence, who reduces continuously the tendencies of repetition in his life.^[67]

Her theory in cognitive science, the demarcator theory, is in opposition with the prototype theory and exemplar theory. The demarcator theory was published by the Université du Québec à Montréal in 2016. This theory, in difference with these two mentioned theories, explains why, when and how human beings distinguish or confound the categories of concepts.^[68]

She introduced and developed the tendential logic, a new logic with applications in sciences, philosophy, literature, arts and social movements. The tendential logic and its applications were published by the Université du Québec à Montréal in 2016.^[69] Her works on different models showed that the combination of the tendential logic with the other non-classical logics, such as fuzzy logic and modal logic, is appropriate to model the human cognitive disorders.^[70]

Her other philosophical articles were republished by the Tebyan Cultural Institute in 2008^[71], the Iranian Students News Agency in 2004 ^[72] and the National Content Consortium in 2013.^[73]

Outlooks

• The persons who are interested in the life of ancient polymaths, devote their life to learn and innovate in sciences, arts, and the transfer of their knowledge to the Iranians and the other nations.^[110]
• Polymathy is a necessity. Women's polymathy can change the men's mentality and prevent the masculism in the societies.^[111]
• The human rights activity is not the ordinary but the canonical duty of thinkers and artists and they should take it into their consideration.^[112]
• Science, philosophy, literature and art do not have any value if the ones who are active in these fields keep silence about the executions.^[113]
• Being involved in sciences or various arts is not a reason for neglecting the causes of social problems.^[114]
• Every knowledge in which the reason is involved is not a rational knowledge. It means that any knowledge because the reason is involved in it cannot be considered as a rational knowledge. In a rational knowledge, it is necessary that in addition to the existence of reason, the judgment of reason about the thing that is to be known should be consistent with the reason and be rational. It is also necessary that the result of this knowledge be rational so that we consider that knowledge a rational knowledge (the necessary and sufficient conditions for rational knowledge).^[115]
