Abstract

Introduction: Today, modern universities must face global competition, and they must be able to effectively influence the economic and social processes of the region in which they are located. These processes and influences can contribute to the competitiveness of the region through complex direct and indirect systems that are associated with different levels of development at different scales.
research methodology: The research method of this research is qualitative and research synthesis type, and in this regard, among all the researchers conducted in the last twenty years on the subject as the community studied by the researcher, it reached the level of data.
Findings: Aerobic exercise significantly increased HDL and decreased LDL, VLDL, TG, and Cho (P≤ 0.05), 15 days cinnamon supplementation had a significant effect on the increase of HDL and decrease of LDL, TG, and Cho in response to one session of aerobic exercise (P≤ 0.05, though, had no significant effect on VLDL (P≥ 0.05).
Conclusion: In the past, science was seen as separate from wealth, as the famous proverb "science is better" or "wealth" is a good example of this type of thinking, but today we know that universities should complement the chain of science and wealth. To achieve this goal, entrepreneurship and innovation centers have been formed next to universities. Investing in human capital skills training leads to the progress of economic development. If the university students apply the knowledge and skills learned in the industry during their studies, in addition to the fact that the graduates will be competent and skilled, they will promote the economic development of the regional market and generate wealth. In order to expand the international fields of education and research in the fourth-generation universities, it is better to include the recruitment of elites, the exchange of students and international faculty members, the creation of research and research centers as well as international campuses, and the expansion of research and research. international courses, revised curricula based on what is in the content of international courses, provided international conferences and gatherings, created international research journals and shared international study opportunities for students and professors.
