The purpose of this study was to know the relationship between teleworking with work-life balance during the covid-19 pandemic. The research approach was qualitative. The sample consisted of 27 women with children less than 12 years old working in Tehran Municipality who were selected through purposive sampling with maximum variety in terms of age, number of children, position, type of contract and were determined based on theoretical saturation level. The data collection method is in-depth interview and the analysis method is thematic analysis.The findings showed that women worked away more than their husbands, so they were responsible for most of the housework. According to the findings, the relationship between teleworking and work-family balance during the Corona epidemic is placed in eight sub-themes and two main themes "the gap between the expectations and realities of teleworking “and "the potential to improve the work-family balance in conditions beyond the Corona era". This findings show that in the conditions of the Corona epidemic, telecommuting has been challenging due to the lack of infrastructure and requirements, so that depending on the individual family characteristics and the type of job, it strengthens the family-work balance or the work imbalance. It has been family. Despite the many limitations and challenges of working mothers, the continuation of teleworking after the corona era and the flexibility of work both in terms of time and place are essential in creating a balance of family work.

Women's social health is a crucial factor in shaping the foundations and opportunities for the growth and development of any society. Indeed, the progress and excellence of a society depend on various aspects of its health, particularly in the physical, mental, and social dimensions. The purpose of this research is to elucidate the sociological determinants influencing the social health of women in Borujerd city. The quantitative research method, utilizing the survey technique and a questionnaire tool, was employed to collect data. A statistical sample of 385 individuals was selected from the studied population.
The research findings indicate a significant relationship between the feelings of cultural security, social security, political security, economic security, intellectual security, and identity security with the social health of women. The results of multivariate regression further reveal that the sense of security influences women's social health by 0.56; in other words, 56% of the variable representing women's social health can be explained as a dependent variable through the independent variables of the research.
Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the sense of security, as a crucial sociological structure, exerts a determining effect on the social health of women. The feeling of security serves as the essence and primary foundation of social health, and the realization of social health is contingent upon establishing a sense of security across social, cultural, intellectual, identity, economic, and political dimensions.

The women's participation rate in the position of a professor, such as their participation rate in the Iranian economy, is very low. The presence of women in postgraduate education has increased due to the rapid expansion of higher education, creating opportunities for them in Iran. However, the rate of women's participation and their promotion on a university career path is still lower than the average in developed countries.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the barriers affecting the presence of women faculty at high academic levels. The research method of the study is descriptive and survey-type. The statistical sample includes 406 women faculty members working in public universities affiliated with the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology in 1400. The sampling method is Simple Random. In the present study, the structural equation modeling approach was used by AMOS22 and SPSS22 software to analyze the data. Based on the findings, four hypotheses were confirmed. The results show that women faculty believe that "cultural factors and laws governing the university," "scientific and educational factors," "individual and personality factors," and "family factors" had the greatest effect on their low promotion in the university, respectively.

Although chronic illnesses have a medical-biological origin, their long-term effects on the body and the functional disorders caused by these effects have dimensions beyond a biological phenomenon. They affect various aspects of the individual's life and the social life of those around them. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one such chronic illness that, due to its diverse and enduring physical and mental dimensions, has significant and continuous consequences on various aspects of the patient's personal and social life. The increasing incidence of MS among women in recent decades, along with a higher incidence rate among women compared to men, has given this illness a feminine face.
This article, adopting a feminist phenomenological approach within the sociology of chronic illness, considers the experience of women participating in MS research as a specific female experience resulting from the intersection of this illness with gender, body, and social context.
Based on the interviews, five main themes—"living in suspense," "powerlessness," "shame," "sexual inactivity," and "the risk of maternity and spousal apprehension"—were extracted. According to these themes, the experience of women with MS is conceptualized as "Identity anxiety." "Identity anxiety" refers to the experience and feeling of worry caused by the unrealized gender identity of these women.

The loss of a mother during adolescence has a profound impact on the adolescent. Recognizing the significance of this subject, the present study aimed to explore the lived experiences of young girls in the realm of adaptation after the death of their mothers during adolescence.

This research employed a qualitative approach and a phenomenological method. The research population comprised teenage girls and young women aged 20 to 30 who had lost their mothers during their teenage years. Participants were selected through virtual platforms, and data collection was carried out via semi-structured interviews.

After analyzing the data, 22 subthemes were identified and categorized into 6 main components. The results indicated that shifts in attitudes, acceptance of alternative support systems, purposeful efforts, and the cultivation of intimate relationships post-loss contribute to adaptation to life after such a significant loss. Ineffective coping methods encompass a spectrum ranging from diverting attention to avoiding the responsibilities of life. The latter state may lead to the suppression of perceived psychological pressure and the potential continuation of its effects.

The aim of this study was to test the causal relationship between attachment styles and domestic violence in a group of married women. In this correlational study, 120 married women were selected from among the married women who referred to the Kuhsar neighborhood house in District 4 of Tehran by available sampling method and responded to the Attachment Styles Inventory (Hazan & Shaver, 1987) and the Violence Toward Women Inventory (Haj–Yahia, 2001). Results showed that the casual model of direct effects of attachment styles on domestic violence had good fit to data. In this hypothetical model, the relationship between secure attachment style and domestic violence was negative and significant and the relationship between insecure / anxious and ambivalent attachment styles with domestic violence was positive and significant. In addition, the results showed that in the hypothesized model, all path coefficients were statistically significant and 56% of the dispersion of domestic violence scores was explained by women's attachment styles. in sum, results of the present study consistent with the approaches of attachment theory showed that the qualitative model of the relationship between the child and the first caregiver and subsequently how to form internal work models that basically govern his view of himself and the world around him, were effective in shaping safe and insecure forms of attachment styles in adults. In addition, the results showed that attachment is one of the conceptual correlates of domestic violence against women, as victims of violence.

The present study was conducted with the aim of qualitatively studying the contexts of domestic violence in the experience of women in Khuzestan province. Among the qualitative research methods, the interpretive phenomenology method has been used to investigate the experience of violence. 18 participants were selected through purposive sampling and criterion sampling strategy. A semi-structured interview was used to collect the data, and the Claizian method was used to analyze the data obtained from the phenomenological interviews. The main themes are "weak social support, power dynamics as a builder of romantic relationships, allocation of unaccounted credit to men, masculinity's zeal and honor, use of ineffective strategies, traditional femininity as a cultural-social structure, giving identity to male violence-causing behavior, feelings of desperation and helplessness, resilience and adaptive strategy, lack of strict laws, female poverty and power imbalance" which can be finally attributed to three "structural, intellectual and interactive" contexts. The results of this study show that violence occurs for two reasons: hermeneutic injustice and the lack of collective interpretation resources, and it is created under the influence of the structure and ideology that governs the society, the social ties of the person with the people around him, and the rewards and punishments that the person receives during his actions. Eventually this strong tension will lead to the elastic band strategy, which implies a long-term process of moving between actively resisting violence and giving in and staying in the position for a longer time, before possibly finally leaving the relationship.
