The present study aims to investigate and analyze the cultural dimensions affecting the attraction of these tourists. This research is applied-theoretical in terms of objectives, and descriptive-analytical in terms of research method. The research findings showed that among the influential cultural dimensions, general (ethnic) culture, professional culture and national (Iranian-Islamic) culture had the highest effects on attracting Iraqi medical tourists. The results of SEM also showed that research independent variables account for 35% of the variance of attracting Iraqi medical tourist. In other words, research independent variables have high ability to explain the variance of attracting Iraqi medical tourist variable. Moreover, the effect of independent variables on attracting medical tourists was statistically significant (p≥ 0.05). Therefore, the effect of national cultural variables, political culture, organizational culture, general culture, and professional culture on attracting Iraqi medical tourists was confirmed. Considering the effect size of the independent variables, it can be stated that the effect of general, professional and national culture variables on attracting Iraqi medical tourists is direct and high medium, while the effect of political and organizational culture variables on this variable is direct and low medium.

War is a socio-cultural phenomenon when after bullets came and went in the war the various incidents happening should be noted because they are full of the signs and meaning. So finding the meaning of it is very necessary. One way to find out how these events unfold is to look at the lived experiences of war soldiers which is narrated in the form of memoirs of this phenomenon. Literal texts which have been created in this case are one the most important references for showing and interpreting such event. For this purpose we refer to the literal productions in which the lived experience of a volunteer activist participating in the Iran-Iraq war is recorded and documented in a work called “Long lived Kamil” with his written narration. In this study, we used Clifford Girtz's interpretive theory and chose the type of qualitative studies to capture the concepts. Using the method and technique of qualitative content analysis, we classified the information and finalized the interpretation. The results of this study show that war is not just a battle of bullets, but Rather, the lived experiences of the actor on the battlefield is full of emotions and meanings that are created and displayed in accordance with the time and place of his life event which we will become more familiar with in the main text of article.

Social Development Indicators based on the recognized definitions for the concept of development and based on different perspectives and organizations and institutions that offer global reports of social development vary widely; but there are certainly many similarities between them and because the scope of the concept and consequently social development indices in the Qur'an are broader. therefore, the Qur’anic verses cover the mentioned indexes, although some are more prominent and more emphasized. The preliminary investigation shows indicators such as: partnership, toleration, public supervision and so on, are more pronounced in Qur'an. One of these outstanding features is resilience. this study seeks the answer to this question, whether the meaning of resilience Index in social sciences, is compatible with Qur'an and the Qur'anic concepts or not? and is the concept of resilience that exists today in social sciences the same as the concept of resilience in the Qur'an or not?

Increasing divorce rates and family separation can lead to social harm in communities. High divorce rates have numerous direct and indirect economic, social and cultural consequences. In Iran, the spread of this issue has caused concerns among psychologists and other experts, as the experience of couples at risk of divorce and divorced couples can pave the way for understanding the reasons behind divorce. The present study aims to investigate the lived experience of couples at risk of divorce and divorced couples in Ahvaz and to develop a divorce prevention training package. Thus, samples of the present study, based on a qualitative approach and grounded theory method, were selected via purposive sampling method from all men and women who applied for divorce or were divorced in Ahvaz; sample members reached theoretical saturation with 32 participants (18 women and 14 men). The results obtained from the interviews based on Strauss and Corbin (1998) model were analyzed in three stages of open, axial and selective coding. The results included 126 free codes which were reduced to 15 concepts after the final analysis; and finally, 5 main categories were extracted. In the axial coding stage, marital dissatisfaction was identified as the central category and a relationship model was drawn among the categories. In the selective coding stage, three general training codes including training for acceptance, training for change, and training for cognition were extracted, based on which the final training package was designed.

This study aims to explain the dimensions, components and indicators of sustainable development-based performance management model in higher education and to present an effective, understandable and controllable model. The present study was a mixed study and sampling was done in two stages. In the qualitative phase, 16 experts on performance management and sustainable development were selected by purposeful sampling and semi-structured interviews were conducted. In the quantitative phase, simple random sampling was selected from staff and postgraduate students of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.The sample size was 170 people using Cochran formula. Data collection tools were interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of two dimensions of explaining and designing a sustainable development based performance management model at university. In mature open coding, 203 open codes or basic concepts were extracted from interviews, selected at the core coding stage based on the thematic similarity of 32 categories and 5 political, social, environmental, economic and cultural dimensions and finally in selective coding of development-based performance management. Sustainability was identified as the main or central variable. The results of the research are presented in the form of performance management model based on sustainable development, which has a positive effect on the performance of administrative and educational units.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of drug abuse among Isfahan University students and to determine the sociological factors affecting students' abuse. The theoretical framework for the research is based on Hirsch's social control theories, Sutherland's differential link, and Merton's social construction and anomie. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students of Isfahan University in 1398. The sample size using Cochran's formula is 480 people randomly selected.The research method is descriptive-analytical survey and the research tool is a modified questionnaire of prevalence of substance use for data collection. Data analysis was performed using spss25 software. The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant difference between male and female students in substance use. Also, adolescents' experiences of substance abuse (9.822), social bonding (-7.001), social control (5.49), and abusive friends (5.21) had the highest impact on substance abuse among youth, respectively. Subsequently, other factors such as gender (4.46), access to drugs (3.32), and family supervision (-3.01) have an impact on student substance abuse.

The present study’s formation in the epistemological study of Iran's developmental transformations or the same theoretical levels has followed a new paradigmatic approach and has an exploratory base. The research method in this study is qualitative, of the type of action research in the sense of its pragmatic induction. Data collection has been done using library and documentary techniques, and data analysis using qualitative techniques, element analysis, dialectical analysis and finally conceptual and logical analysis. This research’s findings at the theoretical level for epistemological study of developmental transformations deal with why and how the new paradigm approach is configured. The formation of the new paradigm approach, or the Interpretive approach to development, uses the elements of paradigmatic creativity and sociological imagination and is based on the theoretical tools of theoretical epistemology and theoretical editing because it seeks to examine The pragmatic realities of development are a paradigm shift for research. The results indicate that in the framework of the Interpretive approach to development and in the structuring of new developmental transformations; The interpretive dialectical self element is the epistemological manifestation of the modern man or creative actors and the most important sensitive element of the paradigm that emerges in the context of the epistemological system with a number of sensitive epistemological elements. It needs to be able to build new developmental realities by construction social interactions in line with new developments. While observing such social epistemological relations in Iran’s epistemological system, one can understand it’s intertwined challenges.

The importance of leisure is not overlooked by anyone in today's world full of tension, where people often feel tired because of their busy work. On the other hand, there is deviant leisure which can have many consequences as an activity that violates the ethical, moral and legal norms of the community. It endangers social security in society. This study examines the effect of self-control dimensions on the deviant leisure of youth. The general theory of crime admits that low self-control providing the context of deviant behavior. In this study, survey method was used and questionnaire was used to collect information. The population of this analysis includes all 18-35 years old youths in Babolsar. 400 youth with Cochran formula were selected by using multistage cluster sampling. We used face validity and Cronbach's alpha as reliability. Deviant leisure explained in two types of obvious deviant leisure and latent deviant leisure. Latent deviant leisure was more than obvious deviant leisure. The results of Pearson correlation indicate that there is a significant relationship between low self-control and with deviant leisure. According to the research theoretical model test, which was carried out using structural equation modeling, it was found a positive effect of low self-control on deviant leisure (Beta=0/65). Also, the research components altogether could explain 43% of the variations of dependent variable (deviant leisure).in all it can says that persons that have low self-control more do deviant leisure action in leisure times.
