Understanding how countries are perceived, especially in the field of political communication, is very important and needs to examine the factors that shape the image of a country. The purpose of this research is to explain the representation and false beliefs and at the same time provide an insight into the views of the Lebanese society regarding Iran. This research seeks to answer the basic question of how Iran was represented in Lebanon's cyber space during the country's parliamentary elections in 2022, and what implications these representations have for Iran's position in Lebanon's socio-cultural and foreign policy environment. The research method in the current study was qualitative and text mining method, but the data analysis method in this research was thematic analysis method. It is worth noting that the method of data collection in this research was through the Twitter API and using keywords related to Iran during May 2022, i.e. two weeks before and two weeks after the Lebanese parliamentary elections. After analyzing the data, 5 overarching themes were obtained, which are actually the "components and elements of Iran's representation among Lebanese Twitter users in the 2022 Lebanese parliamentary elections". Some Lebanese users highlighted Iran as a permanent and benevolent supporter of Lebanon and other countries in the region and its power components. On the other hand, other users have represented Iran as a country with special political connections and high influence in the region, as well as a country with internal problems. In addition, the results of the theme analysis showed that users have reacted to Iran's various events and news by continuously monitoring them, which is a sign of their sensitivity regarding the issue of Iran.

With the advent of digital technologies and the emergence of VOD media services, the landscape of cultural and creative industries has undergone a dramatic transformation. In particular, the market of these media in Iran has witnessed significant growth and offers a diverse range of content to meet the preferences of Persian-speaking audiences around the world. This research deals with the social assessment of Iranian VOD media and their opinion analysis among Persian Twitter users. The purpose of this study is to measure the influence and dynamics of Iranian VODs in the framework of Persian Twitter using data mining methods, computational social sciences, sentiment analysis and theme analysis. Through thematic analysis, six overarching themes were extracted: 1. Dark strains of VOD, 2. Broadcasting monitoring of VOD, 3. Popularity of VOD and its effective factors, 4. Filter and closure of VOD, 5. Actors appearing on VOD after riots in 1401, and 6. Purchasing VOD subscriptions. These themes reflect diverse views and conversations about Iranian VODs.Using social science computational methods, sentiment analysis, and user surveys, a deeper insight into the social measurement of Iranian VODs is obtained. Sentiment analysis of tweets showed that negative sentiments towards these media among Persian Twitter users were 59%, positive sentiments 39%, and neutral sentiments 2%. In addition, data mining techniques were used to investigate the percentage of attention towards Iranian VODs and the feelings of users towards each of them.

The platform society refers to a social life in which political, cultural, social and communication flows are increasingly driven by algorithms and fed with data by a globalized ecosystem of online platforms. In such a society, different networked publics will have the characteristic of networking. This research seeks to investigate the political activism of Twitter networked publics during the 2021 Iraqi parliamentary elections.

The period under investigation is from two weeks before to two weeks after holding parliamentary elections in that country; Data collection was done by machine using Twitter API and random sampling was used to check the themes of networked publics. The analysis method in this research is a combination of social network analysis, sentiment analysis and thematic analysis.

Finally, 10 networked publics active on Twitter were identified and the content expressed by each was analyzed, the largest of which belongs to Sadrist Movement, which shows the compatibility of real and virtual space in this area.

Finally, it was concluded that creating a change in the pattern of communication norms and producing communication messages in line with the country's goals can be a suitable strategy to restore Iran's strategic influence at the international level and adopting confrontational approaches has always been a costly and low-yield method for movements attributed to the axis of resistance.

With the expansion of communication technologies, the use of social networks, including Twitter, in line with the goals of diplomacy has been transformed. This has caused the formation of new types of diplomacy. "Twiplomacy" or Twitter diplomacy is one of these new types. The current study examines the United Arab Emirates' twiplomacy regarding the normalization of relations with the Israeli regime. The period under review is from August 13, 2020 to September 20, 2020, at the same time as the official announcement of the conciliation agreement between the UAE and the Israeli regime, known as the "Abraham" or "Ebrahim" agreement. The required data were collected from the Twitter platform and analyzed by thematic analysis method. The results of this analysis show that the UAE's bilateral diplomacy was basically based on 4 main axes, including the UAE's effort to introduce itself as the main supporter of peace and stability in the region, as well as the representation of the Abraham Pact as the UAE's effort to support the people of Palestine. The results of the research show that the United Arab Emirates diplomatic system is trying to legitimize its actions regarding the Palestinian issue by deceiving public opinion on Twitter. An issue that paves the way for the Zionist regime's ambitious actions in the region.

Cyberspace today is more than just technology.Social networks and messengers are slowly but steadily entering all areas of human life and affect various areas,including politics and culture. Due to some of its unique features, the social network "Twitter" has been able to find a large audience among politicians in cyberspace; In a way, a new term has been coined, called"Twiplomacy"or "Twitter-diplomacy"; Politicians have reached out to a wide audience in various countries via Twitter and expanded the boundaries of their public diplomacy.This study seeks to make a comparative study of how Iranian and American politicians use the Twitter tool; The subject of this study is the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The time period in the study of the twiplomacy of the two countries has been ten days from the day of General Soleimani's martyrdom (from3to13January2020). Data collection was done by purposive method and due to the limited volume of data, the counting method was used instead of sampling.At the end of the study, confirming the hypothesis of maximum use of the right-wing Twitter compared to the Democratic current, it was found that US twiplomacy mainly sought to convince public opinion about the legitimacy of its assassination of General Soleimani and the need for domestic political unity against Iran.While Iran's twiplomacy has been mainly based on emotional discourse and around the expression of General Soleimani's personality traits and the certainty of taking revenge on the perpetrators of his assassination.

Nursing is one of the health care base and nursing services are in effect on ill-health indicators. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between professional behavior and job well-being of nurses employed at two Shahrekord educational hospitals in 2018. This descriptive-analytic study was performed on nurses employing at two educational hospitals in Shahrekord. A total of 269 nurses in both sexes were selected using stratified random sampling method. The Goz standard professional questionnaire for nurses and the Demo and Paschoal Survival Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed by SPSS22 software using independent t-test, ANOVA, Kolmogorov Smearnov, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and simple linear regression at a significant level of 0.05. Mean age of the respondents was 33.2 years old, 48% were aged between 31 to 40 years old while 3% were aged more than 50 years old, 58% and 42%were female and male, respectively. The average score of professional behavior and job well-being were 17.8 ± 104.5 (moderate to high) and 89.3 ± 12.9 (moderate), respectively. Regression analysis revealed that per unit increasing in the nurses professional behavior, 0.661 units were added to job well-being; and also, there was a significant correlation between "professional behavior" and "job well-being" (R2=0.328). The comprehensive national plan should be designed paying more attention to creation of the necessary infrastructure to promote professional behavior which can be result in long-range consequences of job well-being improvement; also, promotion of job well-being components should be considered.
