Given the significance of attitudes and beliefs in worries about body images، the present paper aims at studying the relation between worries about body images and illogical beliefs and gender-relatedattitudes. In a descriptive-correlational study، 150 female university students were asked to respond to a questionnaire about body images، illogical beliefs، and gender-related attitudes. The results of correlations showed that the worries about body images have a positive relation with feeling too desperate to change، expecting approval from others، and emotional irresponsibility. Such worries had positive relations with physiological attitudes، structural functionalism، and radical feministattitudes، but had negative relations with liberal feminist and separatist attitudes. The results of the regression analysis revealed that 44% of variance of worries about body images can be justified by illogical beliefs and gender-related attitudes. The results of the study show that illogical beliefs and gender-related attitudes are effective in worries about body images.

Political cooperation of women is an acceptable issue inimproving the efficiency of socio-political systems. TheConstitution of Islamic Republic of Iran, based on its jurisprudential principles, looks differently at women natural rights and their right of socio-political cooperation. It legitimizes such rights and enforces the governing powers to prepare the necessary foundations for achieving such rights. Despite the presence of legal grounds for women political cooperation, there are a number of structural obstacles on the way of enacting such cooperation. Since the Iranian legal Constitution is based on fatwas issued by religious jurists, jurisprudential interpretations play the key role. The common jurisprudential interpretation does not entitle women to have a key role in states of governance, jurisdiction, religious reference, as well as appointed guardianship. However, through relying on potentials of jurisprudence based on time-space diligence, we can enhance women status concerning elected guardianship.

Despite the worthwhile seriousness, attempts, and unity of women for influential presence in managerial, economic, and administrative scenes, the presence of women in the highest status of legislation in the country (the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran) has had a descending trend throughout the mysterious ebbs and flows of the last few years. The present paper, through adopting a descriptive-analytic method, aims at analyzing the geographical delegation of women in the elections of the Islamic Consultative Assembly of Iran. The results and findings of the research indicate that the ratio of parliamentary chairs taken up by women in urban areas was higher to those taken up by women in small rural areas. Furthermore, in multiple-member regions the chance of women is higher than single-member regions. The present paper considers the geographical pathology of this issue as well its economic, social, cultural, and political pathology, and illustrates women-favorite regions on geographical maps.

From among various types of managerial and administrative structures, two types have been effective both in the success and failure of organizations and communities. These two types arecacistocracy and meritocracy. In a cross-sectional study, the researcher studied a number of Iranian universities in terms of selection of administrative managers as well as cultural atmospheres governing them. With this end in view, these university (Tehran University, ShahidBeheshti University, and AllamehTabatabai University) were studied in a twenty-year period. Considering cacistocracy and meritocracy, as two end points of a continuum, the proportion of election was significantly distant from meritocracy endpoint. It seems that if appointments had been done unbiasedly and impartially, the advancement of the universities would have accelerated and the balanced development of university system, and consequently the whole country, would have been realized more easily. At the end of the paper, a number of suggestions are offered hoping that through their enactment the existing distance from meritocracy endpoint in universities would be shortened, and the country can take full advantage of its expert human resources.

One of the most effective ways of improving women conditions is studying their status in countries’ development plans so that we can depict a status for them. As a result of that, women might be able to take the most advantage ofthe development process, and the development process would benefit from womenas well. With this end in view, the present paper aims at recognizing the status of women in the development plans of the post-Islamic Revolution, with emphasis on gender justice in higher education. It examines the development plans, elucidates the status of Iranian women in higher education, and comparesit with universal criteria. The findings of the study reveal that since the third development plan the planning for achieving an ideal relation between gender and development has turned into one of the concerns of Iranian authorities yet it has been followed hastily. The findings of the study reveal that although women education has “quantitatively” improved yet in meeting“qualitative”criteria it has not been so efficient. So, to compensate for this shortcoming, the development plans must be effectively directed towards qualitative models.

Woman has been under oppression throughout history. Islam pays particular attention to woman and her rights. Early at the beginning of the twentieth century, the intellectuals attempted for making the voice of the oppressed women heard. Among these intellectuals, we can name Naguib Mahfouz. In his works, particularly his realistic novels, he has talked about the women oppression and her violated rights. The researcher of this study attemptsto exploreNaguib Mahfouz’s attitude towards women in one of his realistic novels, “The Beginning and the End”,through adopting feminist criticism and within the framework of feminist elements. Furthermore, based on feminist criticism, the relation between the main characters of the novel and the title, The Beginning and the End, is examined.
