Our purpose in this research is to identify the types, strategies and consequences of constructing of justice. Most of the definitions of justice are made by youth and in the Iranian virtual space. Therefore, the main method is virtual ethnography and the data was analyzed by semiotic reading and thematic analysis. Types include agentic/critical, responsible, utopian, individualistic and national/transnational justice. Distributive, procedural and interactional justice are the most represented. Although epistemic justice is not expressed directly, it is seen in most definitions. Similarities can be seen between some aspects of the Islamic definition of justice with the Marxist, human rights, and liberal definitions of justice, although the latest definition simultaneously emphasizes individualism. There are strategies such as integrating the definitions of justice, iconizing, the role of power with various discourses, and resisting it in virtual space which has led to elitist definitions of justice, virtual agency of users due to the lack of direct possibility to bargain with power, dual otherizing, resistance to otherizing, and the spread of negative emotions. There was a lack of space in the dialogue between the youth and the power around justice.

This study aimed to describe and explain the values and attitudes of women about gender behaviors in Tehran. The theoretical framework of the study has used Ajzen and his colleagues, Julian Rotter, and Chalabi's theory of behavior. The survey method has been used for research and its statistical population is "All girls and women of 15 years and more of Tehran in 1399". The data collection is done through the questionnaire tool and the method of sampling is multi -step sampling; According to Cochran formula, the sample size is estimated at 1200 people. According to the theoretical framework of the research, gender behaviors were considered as dependent variables and gender identity, meaning, opportunity and norms as independent variables. The findings of the study describe the attitude of marriage, the role of maternal, fertility, employment, and the tendency to educate women. Among married women the most important concern is maintaining family life; in contrast, the marriage is the least important for single girls. In the final analysis, it can be concluded that the extrabiological pattern of women's gender behaviors in the form of feminist and individualistic values and attitudes is overwhelmed by the biological pattern.

Cancer is a social phenomenon with plural social realities arising from the experience and comprehension of people engaged with it. This research is conducted based on 43 in-depth, semi-structured interviews (with 10 cancer patients, 10 family members, and 23 healthcare staff including nurses, oncologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists) in Isfahan’s major cancer treatment center. The approach of the study is phenomenology accommodated by interpretive sociology, the method is basic qualitative research, the sampling technique is purposive combined with complementary, and the analytical technique is thematic analysis. The analysis of people’s narratives is conductive to five themes of dealing with cancer from laxity to subjectivity, patient’s bodily objectivity in redefining the daily life order, the binary of home/hospital and the patient’s spatial and social bewilderment, patient’s alienation under the other’s authority of the physician, and patient as an integrated whole in the nursing care system. Overall, while the Iranian narrative has its own particularities, it complies with the universal intersubjective comprehension of cancer in which the dominant intersubjective construct about cancer is rather shaped by the popular comprehensions (Reconstructing the basic idea of cancer as death and mortality) than the physicians’ authority.

This article investigates the initial confrontation between the Iranian economy and the newly emerged capitalist market relations during the 19th century. In the first step, a descriptive account of the Iranian economy’ transformations during this period and the preliminary requirements for analyzing these transformations is provided. The next step deals with its different economical, political, and social consequences. Our findings show that this process of Iranian economy’s reorientation in response to the new international demands for cash crops resulted in various transformations imposing significant effects on the next course of Iranian history during the 20th century. Some of the outcomes include the emergence of new big merchants who invested substantially in real estate, the emergence of proto-forms of private property through selling the state-owned lands, the disturbance of the subsistence economy’ fragile equilibrium through ecological catastrophes like the Great Famine of the 19th century. Despite how influential they were, neither of these changes could complete a rupture from pre-capitalist social relations of production and pre-capitalist strategies of surplus extraction.

This article examines the state of home and territory among Kakavandi immigrants from "1991" to "2022". The theoretical approach is based on Durrschmidt's views about home in the global space. The research method is ethnography and collection techniques are observation, interview and lived experience. The findings show that the life problems of the immigrants in the cities of Harsin and Kermanshah along with the policies of the government, which were in line with rural development, caused two sweeps. First, it was the return to the village, which brought changes such as "Bureaucratization of rural daily life", "Defunctionalization of the village house" and "Urbanization of the village". The second was the migration to Tehran and Alborz province. These immigrants settled in areas that did not have suitable urban spaces to fulfill social needs. Being away from the community and being alone in the new destination has reduced the territory of the house to the door of the apartment for them. Finally, the Kakavands took help from mourning rituals and social networks due to their fluidity and spaciousness to realize the social issue. They defined their home in an extended social space. People who lost their connection with Kakavand's presence in the real world gradually faced the erosion of their identity.

Iranian sentiments and the development and backwardness are the focus of the upcoming article. According to the general belief and what is generally believed and shown, especially in scientific products, the Iranian sentiments as an independent variable has negative characteristics that are always a roadblock in the path of various types of development, and this has gone so far that it is recognized as an assumption. This is the fact that many assumption breaking elements can be presented. On this basis, the basic question of this research is that what the position between "Iranian sentiments" in the issue of "Development" is? To answer this question; we used a three-level model. The first level deals with the effects of sentiments on development. The second level uses 10 assumption-breaking items to pose  question about Iranian sentiments as an independent variable, and the third level advances institutionalism as a level of integration, where Iranian sentiments are classified into the dependent variable of development. In the end, this article concludes that Iranian sentiments do not have an essential influence on the process of development, but there is a kind of connection between them that is influenced by the institutions, and this connection changes with the institutional changes.
