The current quantitative study aimed at examining the effects of Low Self-Control, Negative Interpersonal Relationships, and Depression on social control of trolling and flaming behaviors among Iranian users. A self-made questionnaire which went through validity and reliability assessment, was administered, and 989 participants filled it out. After conducting confirmatory factor analysis, and validity assessment of the measurement model, a full latent variable model was drawn up employing Maximum Likelihood estimation, and Bootstrap. The model was non-recursive as Low Self-Control, Negative Interpersonal Relationships, and Depression variables were non-recursive and had reciprocal relationships. The results showed that Low Self-Control increases Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors, and also Depression, and Negative Interpersonal Relationships. Low Self-Control acts as a mediator between Depression and Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors, and also between Negative Interpersonal Relationships and Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors through Depression. The results also demonstrated that Depression has no direct effect on Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors, but it has an indirect effect through Low Self-Control, on Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors. Negative Interpersonal Relationships have also no direct effect on Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors, but they have an indirect effect through Depression, and Low Self-Control, on Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors. The important contribution of the current study is the recognition of the role of self-control as a mediator among examined variables. The findings of this study can be employed to devise new policies and initiatives to socially control the Trolling/ Flaming Behaviors, without applying coercion.

Nowadays, in order to benefit from discovering business opportunities and staying competitive, companies have to adopt adaptive and innovative strategies to respond to the rapidly changing customer demands and environmental uncertainties. Discovering entrepreneurship opportunities is very important in nanotechnology, and therefore in the present study, a model for discovering technological entrepreneurial opportunities is presented. The research is developmental in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of method. Based on the studies, the dimensions and components of opportunity discovery and the interview protocol have been developed. Then, the opinions of the managers of 11 knowledge-based nanotechnology companies were examined by a semi-open interview. The analysis technique in this study was grounded theory and the data collected from the interviews were cast in three stages and the last model was finally presented. The results showed that the discovery of technological entrepreneurship is affected by three dimensions of effective, underlying and inhibiting factors. Examining factors can facilitate the conditions for discovering entrepreneurial opportunities. Then, to confirm the designed model and examine the relationships between the dimensions and their components of the, the opinions of 15 experts through a pairwise effect comparison questionnaire were used by ISM technique. The results showed that each component is related to the other components and how they are effective. The researcher's findings showed that for discovering technological entrepreneurial opportunities, what the effective, underlying and deterrents factors are, so that appropriate measures can be taken to develop the discovery of technological entrepreneurial opportunities based on this model.

This study was done with the aim of presenting a pattern of ethical-oriented organizational culture in line with promoting of administrative health with a mixed approach. This research is mixed (qualitative-quantitative) in terms of practical purpose, approach, exploration, and in terms of data analysis. In the qualitative phase of the research and due to designing a model based on the methodology of foundation data theory, a group of experts were selected in the field of human resources including university professors and senior managers of governmental organizations and prominent consultants and were interviewed more deeply. In this phase, the snowball sampling method was used and this process continued until the researcher reached theoretical saturation and a total 9 interviews were conducted. In the quantitative phase, all government employees of Hamadan city were considered as a statistical population and among them, 350 people were selected from the random stratified sampling method with proportional division as a statistical sample. In the qualitative phase of the research, because the foundation data theory method was used, the main instrument for data collection was deep and unstructured interviews with experts. In the quantitative phase of the research, the main data collection instrument was a closed and researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 42 items that was designed according to the initial conceptual model. In the quantitative phase of the research, SPSS, Lisrel and smartPLS software were used for descriptive and inferential analyzes. Finally, the research results led to the design of a green marketing process model in pharmaceutical companies (based on the paradigm model structure) and the hypothetical relationships of the model were tested and confirmed in a large community.

It is typical that social capital is essential and necessary in order to develop any society. Social capital is highly significant in the economic and social development of a society that it is possible to observe it distinctly in the field of economic prosperity in all developed societies. We know that social capital is highly significant in recent decades and also consider its influential role on economic and social development, accordingly, this study aims to explain sociologically the influence of social capital on economic and social development of Hormozgan province. We applied the qualitative method for this study and also used the in-depth interview technique in order to achieve the under-consideration questions. The main structure of the interview includes eight main questions that we asked of 32 legal and natural persons, including specialists, professors, experts, officials, and private sector activists in the province. We are able to explain according to the interviewees' opinions that the out-group social capital of Hormozgan is at a low level because of the traditional, religious context and in-group associations, attention to localism, etc.; this is caused by the presence of strong in-group connections between citizens. According to network theory, weak ties (Granovetter) and also in-group and out-group social capital of Putnum, strong, in-group ties limit relationships and, consequently, development was not met.

The statistical population was all citizens aged 15-45 living in urban areas of Tabriz, including men and women, numbering 820,000 and the sample size was 680 people who were selected and selected in three age groups. In this study, the independent variables (predictors) of social cohesion, social trust, government satisfaction, modernity, age, gender and socio-economic status of citizens had a significant relationship with the dependent variable (criterion), i.e. participation. Of course, the variable of modernity had a significant and inverse relationship with participation. Given the low level of citizen participation, it can be said that this situation is due to structural barriers in the political and cultural system of Iran. The connection of individuals with society and the establishment of a relationship with it and their separation from society all go back to the social and cultural environment in which they are located. What drives actions are the habits and patterns of behavior that develop in society, various institutions, and individuals.
