The purpose of writing this article was to investigate the relationship between cultural globalization and marriage spaces, relying on the mediating role of modern identity.

The type of research was descriptive and the method was survey. The total sample consisted of 271 students of Al-Zahra University (S) who were married between 1398 and 1401, and this number was able to respond to the question of cultural globalization and modern identity. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted using SPSS and AMOS software and Pearson, regression and Sobel correlation tests.

In terms of influencing the dimensions of the dependent variable (spouse selection spaces), the highest rate was related to the relationship between individualism and the unsupervised spousal selection space (0.77); This means that the higher the level of individualism, the higher the number of unsupervised marriages and vice versa. The lowest level of correlation was also seen between the variables of using Iranian music and the atmosphere of passive surveillance in choosing a spouse (0.16). Also, relying on the Sobel test, it was determined that the value of this statistic in all variables is greater than ±1.96, and this means that the variable of modern identity has played a significant role as a mediator in the relationship between cultural globalization and spouse selection spaces.

Considering that the social behavior is being internalized from the moment of birth to the time of death, in order to improve the performance of people in the matter of choosing a spouse, the trustees of Sadr al-Ashara should be in the direction of identity formation and strengthening of traditional identity formation resources and also form a resistant identity in the face of identity. try to be modern and globalized. Also, the supervision of parents, along with the conscious choice of children, can be effective in the performance of choosing a spouse.

Despite recent advances in developing language technologies for the standard Persian dialect, the official Iranian language, a large number of Iranian language variations remained computationally unexplored. Iranian languages, e.g., Kurdi, Azeri, and many Persian dialects are examples of low-resource language distinctions lacking significant linguistic resources such as machine-readable lexicons or part-of-speech (POS) taggers. Efforts in developing language technologies for such languages can significantly contribute to language survival in the digital era and promote cultural diversity. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, we created linguistic resources for the Luri and the Yazdi dialects by introducing the first parallel corpora between these language variations and the modern Persian language. In this study, we train neural encoder-decoders (1) recurrent sequence-to-sequence and (2) transformer-based machine translation models and evaluate the trained model using BLEU score on an unseen test dataset.Availability of datasets and models: Datasets are available here at https://github.com/language-ml/dataset_yazdi_luri.git

the present research was written with the aim of achieving the relationship and relationship between the two categories of socio-economic development and social inequality in the provinces of Iran; Because the ratio of justice (= lack of inequality) and development has always been a challenging issue. While the early development economists considered any kind of orientation towards justice to be harmful to the economic system and assumed the increasing internal inequality as an inevitable result of Islamic development, but with the passage of time, it became clear that fair conditions are among the most important variables of favorable economic performance; In such a way that almost all reproductive factors of underdevelopment are rooted in neglecting the issue of social justice and unjustified inequalities.

In terms of the type of study, the current research is an explanatory research that has used a quantitative comparative method within the country in the position of testing the claim or confronting the theoretical hypotheses with the facts that they imply. In the current research, the unit of analysis and observation (province/year) and the level of analysis (Iran) with a longitudinal research design for the period 1368 to 1398 is considered.

The results and findings of this research have indicated that a significant negative linear relationship with relatively moderate intensity (beta: -0.324/sig: 0.000) has been seen between the two categories of socio-economic development and social inequality.

Based on the final findings of this research, it can be said that there is a kind of correspondence with Chalabi's theoretical point of view (a negative linear relationship between the two categories of socio-economic development and social inequality) and also the results of the current research with the theoretical points of view of Kuznets and Rafipour in It has been a contradiction.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between the experience of cultural globalization (based on the three indicators of using foreign music, using foreign media, and individualism) and consuming western clothing.

The type of research was descriptive and the method was survey. The statistical population included all female undergraduate students of Shiraz University in the academic year of 2022-23, of which 384 of them who responded came from colleges of economics, management, social sciences, literature and humanities who were selected trhough random multi-stage cluster sampling.

Based on data analysis, it can be said that there is a positive and significant relationship between the use of foreign music and the consumption of western media (B=0.459), and between the use of foreign media and the consumption of western media. There is a positive and significant relationship with medium intensity (B=0.563); and finally, there was a positive and significant relationship between individualism and consumption of western clothing with relatively high intensity (B=0.667). In addition, the results showed that the three variables of using foreign music, using foreign media, and individualism (as indicators of cultural globalization) were able to explain and predict about 52% of the changes related to the dependent variable (consumption of western clothing).

Based on the findings, it is suggested that the cultural policy makers, while taking the necessary measures to promote the media literacy of the youth, should make some kind of contextual adjustment in the direction of using satellite networks, in relation to the representation of the interests and tastes of the young generation in the programs of the domestic networks. To prevent the influence of culturally heterogeneous elements, the necessary investment should be applied in the direction of good music productions according to the taste of young people. Finally, in the field of Islamic-Iranian clothes, a variety of new and diverse designs according to the taste of women should be considered.

The relationship between justice (= lack of inequality) and development has always posed a challenge. While some economists believe that growing inequality is an inevitable result of certain types of development, others believe that nearly all of the reproductive factors of underdevelopment stem from ignoring the issue of social justice and unjustified inequality. In this regard, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between two crucial categories of socio-economic development and social inequality in post-revolutionary Iranian society.The article’s central issue concerns the relationship between these two categories at the national level between 1989 and 2019. To answer the research question, Kuznets (parametric relationship), Chalabi (negative linear relationship), and Rafipour (positive linear correlation) were used from three theoretical perspectives: Kuznets (parametric relationship), Chalabi (negative linear relationship), and Rafipour (positive linear correlation). The hypotheses derived from the above theoretical perspectives were tested using the quantitative comparative method and a single-country longitudinal research design.Between the two categories of economic-social development and inequality, there is a significant negative linear relationship with a relatively strong intensity (beta: -0.719 / sig: 0.000) and a proportional relationship in the shape of an inverted U; but according to the coefficients, the inverted U-shaped relationship is preferred.The research’s theoretical achievements demonstrate a degree of congruence with Kuznets’s point of view. This indicates that although Iran’s development was initially accompanied by a high level of inequality, the opposite has occurred over time, and the level of inequality has decreased. Therefore, it can be stated that Iran’s high development has led to a reduction in social inequality over time.

The relationship between development and inequality in contemporary Iran has always been one of the most important and challenging issues that has occupied the minds of many thinkers in Iranian society. In this regard, in the present study, an attempt has been made to experimentally examine the relationship between the set of variables that make up the socioeconomic development construct and the set of variables that make up the construct of social inequality in Iranian society by relying on canonical correlation analysis.

Considering the nature of the topic as well as the main question, the current research is an explanatory one that the in-country quantitative comparative method was used with the unit of analysis “Iran/year” for the period from 1368 to 1398.

The value of the canonical correlation coefficient for the first principal root was equal to 0.898, which indicated a strong relationship between the combination of two sets of variables indicating the constructs of socioeconomic development and social inequality. The square of this correlation was equal to 0.806, which showed that the set of variables that make up socioeconomic development have been able to predict and explain about 81% of the changes in the set of variables that make up social inequality. The value of the canonical correlation coefficient of the second function was also equal to 0.692, which was interpreted according to its significance level.

The first root canonical correlation results showed that there was a very strong relationship (with a correlation coefficient of 0.90) between a linear combination of two sets of variables that make up socio-economic development and social inequality in Iran, which was statistically significant. The final result is that the increase in socio-economic development indicators between 1368 and 1398 in Iran has greatly increased the possibility of social inequality.

Investigating social factors related to the feeling of social security Case study; residents of District 2 of Ahvaz))The purpose of this study is to investigate the social factors affecting the sense of social security of residents of District 2 of Ahvaz. The type of research is descriptive and survey type to use the questionnaire to answer the question of what factors can affect the sense of social security that has been tried to achieve this goal by relying on the most important theories in These issues have been raised and presented, and steps have been taken to answer the questions of this research. As for data analysis with a sample size of 380 people, which was determined by Cochran sampling, SPSS software and special tests appropriate to the research variables were used. Finally, the results of Pearson correlation test showed that social trust and physical-social conditions of the city have a positive and significant relationship with the feeling of social security in the residents of District 2 of Ahvaz, while the relationship between direct and indirect experience of crime. It is negative and meaningful with a sense of social security. In addition, gender is one of the variables affecting the feeling of social security, which was determined by using the T test that the feeling of social security has a significant positive difference in favor of men. Also, there is no significant relationship between the media and the socio-economic status of citizens with the feeling of social security.

This paper has been authored to study manner of Islamic Republic of Iran’s confrontation with the phenomenon of globalization, in particular during the reformist discourse (1997-2015). The methodology of the work is descriptive-analytical whose data has been gathered through library research method. The paper has resorted to Chantal Mouffe’s concept of the political to find appropriate answers to the following questions: What approaches did Islamic Revolution discourses follow in confrontation with globalization? What relationships have emerged out of these approaches? Chantal Mouffe’s theory encompasses three relationships vis-à-vis globalization. The hypothesis of this paper argues that reformist discourse had paved the ground for compatibility with and resistance of the Islamic Revolution ideology against cultural invasion by adopting an agonistic policy than a fully antagonistic policy, whereas previous discourses had adopted an antagonistic policy. Findings of the paper indicate that until before the reformist discourse, there was a pessimistic view toward globalization and the dominant approach was antagonistic. With the start of the reformation period, the antagonistic policy underwent drastic changes and was replaced with an agonistic policy. Seyyed Mohammad Khatami’s idea of “dialog of civilizations” played a key role in adoption of this policy.

The aim of this study was to investigate the causes of high suicide rate in some provinces of Iran. In fact, the present article, using the "province" analysis unit, has used Boolean algebra to answer the question: what combinations of causal factors have led to the high suicide rate in some provinces of Iran? To determine these causal factors, by reviewing the literature in sociology, four causal factors were selected to explain this issue: birth rate, industrialization rate, urbanization rate, and female labor force participation rate.The results of Boolean analysis showed that high birth rates and low tuition fees were necessary for the occurrence of high suicide rates in the provinces of Iran; That is, all provinces with high suicide rates had high birth rates and low tuition fees. The findings of Boolean analysis also showed that when these two explanatory factors of the necessary cause are combined with one of the two factors of low rate of industrialization or high rate of female labor force participation, they will be sufficient cause for high suicide rate in Iranian provinces. In other words, Boolean analysis showed that two different causal patterns have led to high suicide rates in the provinces of Iran. First, a combination of high birth rates with low rates of industrialization and urbanization. Second, a combination of high birth rates with low urbanization rates and high female labor force participation rates.

The aim of this study was to investigate how Iran encountered in the period of reformist discourse with cultural globalization. In this research, descriptive-explanatory method has been used and its data has been collected by library method. To make it easier to find the right answer to the main question of this research, "What are the views of the reformist discourse in the face of globalization and culturalization?" And finally, what kind of relationship has these views led to? The model of Shantal Mufa's political affairs, in which he considers three types of relations towards globalization, has been used extensively. The research hypothesis has been that before the establishment of the reformist discourse in the Iranian political space, the Islamic Republic of Iran's view, approach and relationship with globalization, especially its cultural dimension, has been a negative and pessimistic approach and a kind of conflict and enmity. With the coming to power of Khatami's government and the formation of a reformist discourse, the way of looking at and approaching the world has undergone fundamental changes.
