The status and care of the elderly are now one of the most critical issues in society. The goal of this study was to explore the attitudes of women in Shiraz City towards elderly care and also the generational disparity between these attitudes. The statistical population of this study included women 20-55 years old in Shiraz which is grouped into two generations of 20-34 years and 35-55 years old. The respondents including 384 females were selected through stratified sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and both descriptive and inferential statistics were analyzed using the SPSS. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was computed to check the validity of the research scales (attitudes towards the elderly, attitude towards caring for the elderly, religiosity, and, relationships within the family). The findings revealed that there is a significant difference in the attitude of two generations of women towards caring for the elderly and that people belonging to the younger generation have a more positive attitude towards elderly care. Attitudes towards aging, supportive family relationships, being a householder, family size, and age were significant variables determining attitudes towards caring for the elderly.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the social resilience of economic organizations against institutional anomie at the level of non-governmental economic organizations (Iranian Home Appliance Industry Association) with an institutional analysis approach. The research was conducted from 1399 to 1400. The type of research method is qualitative and the type of data analysis method is inductive thematic analysis. The data collection technique was episodic interview. The research population includes all members of the association, 21 of whom were purposefully selected. Findings showed the foundations of institutional anomie can be traced at both macro and micro levels. At the macro level, the change of fundamental structures, the establishment of society in a state of transition, and the emergence of new spirits in Iranians led to the creation of the mentioned anomie. At the micro level, the failure to achieve common values and ideals paved the way for anomie, and the inconsistency of actors' cultural tools and rules to achieve a common goal, the quest for transformation, exacerbated that anomie. Contrasting to Merton's theory of anomie, in this study it was found that, it is possible for actors to act simultaneously in the form of two or more of these cultural patterns. Given the simultaneous commitment of the members of that association to the model of "adaptation and conformity" plus "innovation and innovation", the model of "transformational adaptation" can be added to the models mentioned by Merton that Indicates creative resilience

The aim of this study was to identify the causes of suicide and homicide in the Qajar period. This study has been done by content analysis method (quantitative and qualitative). The text under analysis was "police reports on the situation in Tehran during the reign of Nasser al-Din Shah Qajar." The findings of this study showed that suicide in the Qajar era is a pervasive phenomenon. In all cases (except one), the means of suicide among men and women was "opium eating." In the Qajar era, women "attempted suicide" more than men, but the rate of "suicides leading to death" was higher in men than women. On the other hand, "economic poverty" was the most important cause of men's suicide. Nearly half of all male suicides were due to economic poverty, but the most important cause of female suicide was the experience of "domestic violence." No woman has committed suicide due to economic problems. Most women commit suicide in their husbands' homes after a conflict with their husbands. According to police reports, no man had attempted to kill his wife, but in several cases, women attempted to kill their husbands. Women usually committed suicide after repeated experiences of domestic violence, but sometimes tried to kill their husbands in revenge.

The continuity and development of any science depends on the research that is done in that field. Stagnation in research in a scientific field paves the way for stagnation in that field of knowledge, and dynamism in research guarantees the development of that science and the growth of its scholars. Therefore, in order to be aware of the position of a scientific discipline in the current situation, what process it has gone through so far and what is its perspective, it needs to do some Internal analysis. To achieve this, the sum of research conducted in a scientific field should be recognized as the subject or domain for an independent critical research. The present research is an attempt has been made to critically examine the academic research conducted in the field of social work in Iran during five decades of the research life of this field. However, in conducting such research, not only these considerations have been satisfied, but also a redoubled effort has been made to investigate the thematic relationship of the laws passed with this discipline in the framework of an institutional relationship. Quantitative content analysis method has been used to examine both areas. In applying this method, 645 academic researches and 169 legal documents have been used as valid sources of data collection. Among the findings of this study, we can mention the relationship between the institution of science and the institution of legislation, which has experienced convergences and divergences during the period under review.
