One of the central topics in sociology is the interaction of individuals with society in concrete situations. Social psychologists, rationalist sociologists and those who advocate one-sided methodological individualism speak of the influence of individuals on society. Structural sociologists and those who advocate the originality and superiority of society over individuals also speak one-sidedly and exclusively about the influence of society on individual. Eclectic theorists discuss the interaction of individual and society, or agency and structure in various fields of social life. Despite believing in the originality of the individual and the nominality of the society, Professor Misbah follows an eclectic approach and argues that neither the individual is completely affected by the society, nor the society is completely affected by the individual; rather, there is a mutual influence in this regard. Therefore, he discussed "the relationship between the individual and the society" in two separate sections, under the headings of "the influence of society on the individual" and "the influence of the individual on the society". Comparing professor Misbah with the other thinkers, this article tries to explain his position in this regard. The research method is the content analysis of the topics in the book "Society and History from the Viewpoint of the Qur'an", which, among the works of the professor, exclusively deals with this discussion.

The issue of women's empowerment is one of the most fundamental issues of contemporary societies, which has an inevitable link with their development. In Iran, in the fourth development program, women's empowerment was included among macro and executive policies. To that extend, many researches in different fields have tried to evaluate and measure the issue of women's empowerment in the country. The aim of the current research is to meta-analyze the studies conducted in the field of women's economic empowerment to provide a comprehensive picture of the findings and characteristics of the obtained studies. Qualitative meta-analysis method provides the possibility of evaluating and reviewing studies in two parts, formal and structural characteristics as well as content findings. A total of 70 reviewed studies including various articles and theses shared the two keywords of economic empowerment and women. A range of virtual databases such as Normagz and humanities database to the libraries of prestigious universities of the country are the source of data collection. Results show since mid-1990s, we have faced a considerable number of studies in this field. The applied methods are mostly quantitative and based on large-scale questionnaires. The results of the descriptive findings show that the executive policies of this field are mainly partial, in line with non-functional support (dependent) and without enough attention on the specificities and different coordinates of its fields, and there is a need to focus on the different needs of women, gender and cultural norms, and the infrastructure of each region.

Criticizing the cultural structure of “marriage” in the traditional linguistic sphere and providing a new definition of it was the concern of a number of modernist writers of Iran during the Qajar era. These authors recognized new writing formats as an efficient tool for this purpose. The focal issue of the upcoming research, which is written with the approach of cultural history and focusing on “language” as a tool for cultural change and modernization, is the analysis of the attempt of these modernists to break into olden cultural structures based on marriage and the foundational criticism of these structures by focusing on “the right to choose”. By writing works in emerging literary formats, modern writers introduced into critical literature the issue of marriage and emphasizing the choice as a “right”; In this context, the “translation” factor had a central contribution; sphere of thought of Iran, influenced by the life of modernists in modern environments such as Europe, Caucasus and Istanbul, was exposed to the translation/localization of the works of prominent figures in the field of critical literature to make it easier to pass this difficult path through the translation. The results of the analysis of the content of these texts indicate that the critical representation of traditional marriage has been one of the main aspects of this critical attitude. Trying to break into the accepted authority of the family as a cultural unit in the classic model of marriage, criticizing structures such as honor/shame and cultural units that dominate the category of choice such as relatives and criticizing the dominance of the financial/status attitude over this right, are among the most important components of this activity. The second aspect of this approach is looking at the positive function and proposing an alternative cultural model emerging from modernity based on the right to choose and emphasizing the individual's role in marriage.

Nomadic women play a vital role in the economic and social spheres of their communities, contributing to sustainable development through their indigenous knowledge. Despite facing significant challenges such as deprivation of welfare and healthcare, they exhibit considerable agency. This study challenges the perception that agency is exclusive to modern societies by demonstrating that nomadic women exercise their influence both overtly and covertly. Through a qualitative approach and thematic analysis of interviews with 17 women from Chah-Gholamali, two main themes (realized agency and resistance as hidden agency), four sub-themes (marital life management, persuasion power, decision-making agency, and facilitating agency), 10 concepts, and 115 meaningful phrases were identified. "Realized agency" refers to agency that is visibly observable. In the case of "facilitating agency," women do not hold a decisive role but act as facilitators. Findings show that while these women often hold decisive roles in family decisions, they also maintain the symbolic authority of men. The study highlights the complex and varied ways nomadic women experience and exert agency within their family structures.

The phenomenon of child and youth labor is a multifaceted challenge encompassing biological, psychological, and social dimensions, and it has emerged as a significant concern in various countries, including Iran. However, the predominant research has often approached this issue from a social work perspective, focusing on description and pathology. There has been a notable absence of studies addressing the empowerment of this demographic to navigate and overcome challenging environmental circumstances. Given the expanding population and the substantial personal and social challenges faced by working children and adolescents, it becomes apparent that conducting research in this area could contribute to the empowerment of these individuals.

The present study aimed to present the model of human as an agent based on the lived experiences of youth labore.

This study employed a qualitative approach, specifically utilizing the grounded theory method. The research focused on purposefully selecting 15 successful youth laborers residing in Tehran in 2023. Participants were chosen through referrals from Toloe Bi neshanha Center, Mehr and Mah Institute, and Al Yassin Assistance Clinic. After obtaining their consent and willingness to participate in the research, they became part of the study. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Strauss and Corbin method.

The analysis of the interview data was generally categorized into seven axes: internal strength, chaotic environmental conditions, support system, learning experiences, humanistic strategies, positive and active design of life, and comprehensive and integrated growth, and finally, the conceptual model of the human as an agent based on the codes was drawn.

The obtained results, in addition to increasing insight into the components of the human as an agent model and the factors behind its creation, can be used as a basis for further research and the design of educational and therapeutic programs aimed at improving the psychological capabilities of youth laborers.

The word agency implies a kind of sense of responsibility toward the path of one's own life. The acceptance of human agency depends on the explanation of the origin of action, which is called "I". This study aims to present a counseling model based on Allameh Mohammad Taghi Jafari's view. In the first part, an attempt has been made by the hermeneutic qualitative method to identify the indicators and components of the agency of "I". Then, by the grounded theory, explanatory model of the agency of "I" was drawn. In the third part, the content, process and counseling techniques derived from this model were presented through thematic analysis. In the Delphi validation, Kendall's correlation coefficient was reported as 0.87. The main counseling content of this approach can be found in cases such as the nature of "I" (differentiator, agent, meta-agent, authorized, etc.), the areas of "I" (the essence and activity of "I"), the levels of "I" (the disability of "I", the agency of "I"), the elements of "I" (involuntary, voluntary, and perfectionist), and so on. Counseling processes were presented in harmony with purposeful universe, acceptance of self-ownership, honesty and harmony with oneself, use of capabilities, strengthening of love for humans, and strengthening of self-awareness and self-improvement. In order to achieve these therapeutic processes, practical methods were also extracted based on Allameh's point of view. The distinguishing aspects of this counseling model can be considered in its integration, the presence of the determining component of perfectionism and attention to the relationship between human and his creator.

In the issue of efficiency, it is necessary to identify the factors affecting family efficiency. This research aimed to model family efficiency structurally based on life meaning with the mediating role of spirituality in the family and marital boundaries. The population included all couples in the city of Qom in 2023 and 384 of them were selected by the cluster sampling as the sample. The data were collected using family efficiency questionnaire from the perspective of Islam by Safouraei, the questionnaire of life meaning test based on Islamic sources by Heidari, Salarifar and Shaterian (2019), the questionnaire of the spirituality in the family, and the questionnaire of the measurement of the internal marital boundaries by Houshiari (2020). The data was analyzed with SPSS software. To analyze the data, structural equations were used in SPSS-24 Software and LISREL-5 software. The results demonstrated that there is a significant relationship among family efficiency, life meaning, and marital boundaries, and there is also a significant relationship among the spirituality in the family, life meaning, and family efficiency. In addition, the variables of marital boundaries and spirituality in the family are able to play a mediating role between the two variables of family efficiency and life meaning.

Although, hope has not been raised as a social issue with large dimensions in the policy-making discourse of the country, it was and still is the problem of a large part of the country's people and policy makers. The purpose is sociological study of the interpretation of social hope among the citizens of Tehran. The methodology of this qualitative research, is grounded theory strategy. For this purpose, in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 50 samples. In the open coding stage, 105 open codes, 33 core codes, 9 main categories and 1 core category were extracted from the data coding system. The results of this research narrate the multidimensional meaning of religiosity in restoring hope. It seems that the Tehran citizens, with the hope of infinite support, make enduring hardships meaningful and attribute multidimensional and positive agency to religiosity in the field of restoring hope. Also, religion strengthens the social aspect of hope through the creation of solidarity and cohesion and ultimately helps to reduce social problems in an overt and hidden way.

Entrepreneurial agency, defined as people's ability to discover and exploit business opportunities and create new value, is a complicated notion that necessitates an interdisciplinary approach and the integration of various views. Adopting this approach in the first step requires understanding the knowledge-based agencies and selecting related fields, which in this article is done through the scientometric analysis method. 18060 English-language items from the WOS database were selected and evaluated. The co-citation analysis of sources indicated five major clusters: Sociology, organization and management, agency theory, neuroscience/cognitive science, and psychology. The authors' co-citation analysis revealed seven theoretical groups. The co-occurrence analysis of key phrases and time trends revealed that concepts such as agency theory, human agency, and structure-agency duality originated in the 1970s and 1980s, but newer concepts such as teacher agency and entrepreneurial agency arose more recently. The findings revealed that the concept of agency evokes diverse interpretations depending on the field researched upon. In economics and law, it refers to representation and the principal-agent relationship. In public administration and political science, it refers to an organization or firm that performs a function for another. In philosophy, sociology, psychology, education, cognitive science, and neuroscience, it refers to the capacity, condition, or state of executing an action or exerting power, as well as the human ability to perform conscious and purposeful activities. Finally, to investigate entrepreneurial agency at the individual level, an integrated study of psychology and the social sciences is proposed.

Women's activism in the light of the discourse of constitutionalism made them a committed and demanding group that entered the field of action for the ideals of constitutionalism and challenged the dominant gender order. Methodologically, this research explains the aspects of women's mobilization in fundraising based on document analysis. The research problem is to clarify the agency of women in contemporary social history. The findings are presented and analyzed in five categories: practical goals, motivations, mechanisms, socio-economic base of participants, and strategies. Collecting donations to provide resources for the struggle of the constitutionalists in the era of Minor Tyranny, helping the families of the deceased fighters in Tabriz and Ardabil, as well as accumulating initial capital for the establishment of the National Bank, have all been based on patriotic motives of women in the struggle to achieve independence and support the citizens. In addition, it is indicative of the formulation of agency and identity politics of female activists who got fed up with discriminatory gender relations and sought an opportunity for social participation in women’s mobilization. In the absence of jobs and independent income, women used tactics to obtain resources for mobilization. Furthermore, the participation of women from different social origins has given a cross-class dimension to the mobilization.

Recent research suggested that teacher agency played a crucial role in fostering teacher capacity to learn and teach, which, in turn, influenced schools performance improvement. Teacher agency refers to the capacity of teachers to act purposefully and constructively to direct their professional growth and contribute to the growth of education quality. Considering the role of teacher agency in improving learning in schools, searching for the antecedents of this variable can be one of the concerns of researchers in the field of education. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the mediating role of trust in the relationship between learning-oriented leadership and teacher agency.

The research method was a correlational description. The statistical population was primary school teachers of Hamedan province. The statistical sample was 102 people who were selected using the convenience sampling method. Data collection tools were three questionnaires of learning-oriented leadership, teacher trust and teacher agency, which were developed by Liu et al. (2016a) and Liu et al. (2016b). Before running the questionnaires on the main sample, the validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by experts and their reliability confirmed according to Cronbach's alpha coefficients. After implementing the questionnaires, the convergent validity, discriminant validity, internal consistency and composite reliability of the research instrument were confirmed as part of the data analysis phase. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

The Results showed that learning-oreinted leadership significantly predicts teachers’ trust and agency. Also, teachers trust was a significant predictor of teacher agency. These findings confirm the mediating role of trust in the relationship between learning-oriented leadership and teacher agency.

One of the interesting points in the findings is that the indirect effect of learning-centered leadership on teacher agency (mediated by trust) is more than its direct effect, and this well shows the role of trust in the link between leadership and teachers' agency. Therefore, it is recommended that school administrators increase the agency of teachers through the use of learning-oriented leadership behaviors and create a trusting environment in the school.

Social monotheism, which is the result of a social and practical understanding of the principle of monotheism, in Ayatollah Khamenei's view, is a social theory and a general structure of life. In this regard he proposes the hypothesis of the function of social monotheism in the theoretical foundations and monotheistic society, including social “effectiveness” and “structure”. Therefore, this article aims to investigate the effects and results of the social understanding of monotheism in the duality of social effectiveness and structure, focusing on the verses of the Holy Qur'an. This research has been conducted using the descriptive-analytical method based on library data and the logic of understanding verses and rational reasoning. The results show that both effectiveness and structure are influenced by social monotheism. The centrality of obedience to God in social relations, truth-centeredness and denying the worship of whims in the social movement are among the results of the function of social monotheism in terms of effectiveness. And the negation of the plurality in worship and polytheistic models, the common social destiny of the Islamic Ummah, social control through the duty of enjoining good and forbidding what is evil, and Itibariyat ba’d al-Ijtima’ (conventional perceptions after civilization), the establishment of conventional institutions, and giving a monotheistic direction to social institutions and organizations are the output of the function of social monotheism in terms of structure. Divine traditions are also inviolable social laws that result from the social and collective deeds of people, and as a beyond-human agent, it participates in the macro-transformations and fate of societies.

Invoicing is a method of financing in which a seller transfers his receivables to a third party to handle, receive, or to give discount.In full agency, almost all receivable accounts from the sale of goods and services are purchased by the agent under normal circumstances, and the customer (exporter) is provided with a quick access to cash, which the agent agrees to receive or receives the interest of financing, and the settlement between the agent and the customer is considered from the date of the agency contract or when the deal is done with a proper percentage discount, on the due date or when the agent succeeds to Collect all funds from buyers of goods and customer service.Full agency is similar to some jurisprudential and legal institutions In this post using the library method white contract of reward, factorage and brokerage Comparisons and conditions in each institution are fully expressed And finally, the full agency is similar to all the institutions mentioned But due to some differences, it can only be applied to a debt purchase contract

Cinematic works serve as reflections of the cultural unconscious of a given society, providing sociologists with the opportunity to examine its hopes, aspirations, and societal concerns. This manuscript utilizes qualitative content analysis to examine the manner in which social hope is portrayed in 15 Iranian New Wave Movement films. The research endeavors to investigate two fundamental inquiries: “In what manner does Iranian New Wave Cinema depict social hope?” Furthermore, “How does this portrayal intersect with the societal hope of the film's creation?” Despite extensive literature on “social hope” and the “sociology of hope,” analytical formulations are limited. This article adopts Schneider's triple articulation—encompassing “agency,” “purposefulness,” and “feasibility”—as metrics for assessing social hope.This study employs qualitative content analysis to examine 15 films that serve as representations of the Iranian New Wave Movement, a cinematic movement that transpired in Iran from 1968 to 1978. Dariush Mehrjoei, Masoud Kimiaei, Nasser Taqvai, Bahram Bayzaei, and Amir Naderi are all noteworthy directors. A stratified sampling technique was utilized with the intention of selecting three works from each director in accordance with the research objective.This approach guaranteed the inclusion of articles that were most congruent with the objectives of the research. In general, the majority of new wave cinematographic works emphasize the intensified social despondency through the representation of objects that are “inactive” in terms of agency index, “lacking purpose” in terms of purposefulness index and Indicators of the possibility of being “disabled” emphasize the intensified social despair.The New Wave Movement, which rebelled against the sanguine official discourse, mirrored societal struggles during a period of political unrest by integrating Simmel's sociological theory of art and Snyder's social hope articulation. Through individual artistic expression within a collective cultural unconscious, the Movement challenges prevailing narratives, showcasing the pervasive social despair of their time with nuanced realism.

The purpose of this article is to compare the concept of agency in Bandura's cognitive-social theory and the Islamic approach of "human as agent". According to Bandura, agency refers to a voluntary effect on one's performance and environmental events, which has the main aspects of intentionality, foresight, self-reaction, and self-reflection. On the other hand, in the Islamic perspective, human action or agency is based on three fundamental bases: cognition, tendency, and volition. In terms of methodology, the current study is a comparative study that deals with similarities and differences of two viewpoints with a glance on their roots. In the educational section, Frankena’s practical syllogism is used as the method. The basics and aspects of agency in both perspectives have a lot in common, in such a way that foresight and self-reflection in the first perspective can be compared with the cognition in the second approach; as self-reactivity and intentionality in the first approach can be compared with the emotional and volitional bases in the second approach. Despite this, the two views have differences in issues such as the concept of action and performance, the nature of interactive, cognitive, emotional and volitional aspects, the nature of interaction, responsibility and ethics, which will have relevant consequences for education. While, for instance, the first approach emphasizes the importance of structure, the second approach gives more weight to individual agency, and as a result of this difference, the role and influence of the individual within social structures will be different. Given the importance of human agency which is at issue in the two approaches, their commonalities are emphasized in the educational inferences.

Within the realm of commercial contracts, a specific group of contracts can be classified as permissive contracts. This category includes brokerages, agency contracts, employment contracts, and commercial representation. The rules and consequences associated with permissive contracts have far-reaching implications for legislative processes, court judgments, quasi-judicial bodies, and executive authorities. The authorized status of the obligated party and the presence of a trust description are two crucial factors determining the nature of these contracts. If the fulfillment of the permissive obligation lacks a trust description or occurs outside the boundaries of authentic consent, it constitutes a breach of contract or, at the very least, renders the contract non-binding. The findings of this comparative research reveal that within the legal system of England, such contracts are recognized as forms of agency contracts or representation. In Imamiyyah Jurisprudence, although no specific discussion has emerged regarding commercial permissive contracts due to their novelty, based on the general principles established in Imamiyyah Jurisprudence, these types of commercial transactions can be classified as permissive contracts. In the legal system of Iran, considering the challenges addressed in legal doctrine, there is overall compatibility between commercial permissive contracts, Imamiyyah Jurisprudence, and the legal system of England.

This article aims to address some of the important consequences of the Anthropocene for social relations from a sociological perspective. Stressing on the multidimensionality of environmental changes globally, the paper argues that understanding the new conditions requires interdisciplinary studies and a reevaluation of existing approaches to nature and environmental issues in general. It uses the notion of the Anthropocene to criticize the well-established modernist view distinguishing between nature and society and to discuss that sociology must include nature as an active and constructive agent in its explanations and problem-definition processes. Additionally, this article proposes “the human-nature-society web” as an analytical framework to explain social conditions in the Anthropocene at micro and macro levels. This proposed framework is applied to shed new light on the concept of agency in social theory and to criticize the neglect of the notion of nature in shaping the agency. It also serves to underline the constructive power of nature in society in three significant areas of institutional arrangement, risk, and technology.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between structure and agency in the theory of the human as an agent and its educational implications for childhood.

For this purpose, this research was conducted with a qualitative approach and Analytic-Deductive method in three specific steps. First, the components of the concepts of agency and structure in the theory of the human as an agent were analyzed and described. Then, the relationship between structure and agency was deduced in a systematic framework. Finally, based on the analysis, educational and practical implications were presented for the management of early childhood.

Based on the philosophical concern of the theory of man as an agent, the components of agency included (will, etc.) and the components of structure were discovered in two internal and external parts.Regarding the dual relationship of agency-structure, neglecting the causes of human agency and accepting his inaction and unwillingness in the face of structures on the one hand and unjustified emphasis on the role of structures on the other, there are two sides of the spectrum that we have to turn from.Therefore, interactionism means a middle ground between the extreme edges of the spectrum.For this purpose, in this theory, the concept of "selection and choice of agent" is used the most.

Finally, based on the lack of agency in childhood, adopting the idea of a child as a pseudo-agent and considering childhood as a period of transition to agency, the proposed implications can be preparations for the growth and development of the bases of agency for adulthood.
