Through the political developments in Lebanon and the emergence of resistance in the south of this country, unprecedented opportunities have arisen in the field of cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Lebanese resistance in various dimensions, especially in the field of culture. Along with the existing opportunities, there are also threats from Iran's enemies and the Lebanese resistance, which can be turned into opportunities by adopting new approaches in the fields of cooperation between these two actors. The main goal of this research is to provide strategies to develop and deepen relations between Iran and Lebanon's resistance in the field of culture and help foreign policy institutions. Library and document research methods for data collection, and the SWOT method with a descriptive and analytical approach were used for data analysis. Based on the findings, the Islamic Republic of Iran is facing challenges in its interaction and cooperation with the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, while the two actors have significant opportunities to develop and strengthen their relations. Therefore, by turning these strengths into opportunities, it is possible to develop and strengthen the relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Lebanese resistance. One of the notable strengths is the coordinated leadership of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah with the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the solidarity between the Shiites of the two countries, which can lead to the promotion of Shiite identity and the culture of resistance against the Hebrew axis.

Cyberspace, a domain that meaningfully impacts on human lifestyle, can change a society's thoughts and perceptions of moral values, including social self-sacrifice (the Quranic eisar). This is one of the moral and social values in Islam, which has been addressed in several verses and hadiths. It means to prioritize the other over oneself when it comes to making profit or avoiding harm and loss. Considering today’s status of self-sacrifice in both religion and cyberspace, it is necessary to study and identify the impacts and outcomes of cyberspace in the field of this Islamic value. In our descriptive-analytical study, six cyberspace effects on social self-sacrifice have been identified and studied, including two positive, one negative, and three conditional or double ones. These effects are fully stated in the summary of the article. Identifying the impacts and outcomes is the preliminary step in cyberspace policy-making and providing an impact assessment for its being focused on self-sacrifice, because here, policies and solutions for reducing (or eliminating) the negative effects and solutions for strengthening the positive effects are presented. At the end of the article, two suggestions have been made: 1- Providing an impact assessment for cyberspace focusing on values, including self-sacrifice; 2- Monitoring the evolution of values in cyberspace and introducing the responsible organizations in different stages of monitoring.

Development is one of the main concerns of policy makers and executives of many countries, and so far many ideas and policies have been designed, implemented and evaluated in this field. One of the strategies of economic, cultural and livelihood development in cities and villages is executed through the promotion of tourism which has grown more rapidly and diversified in recent years. On the other hand, trying to improve industrial capacity is one of the most important methods in the field of urban and rural development. The link between tourism and industry, which is manifested in the title of industrial tourism, can also encourage the dual fields of industrial promotion and development. The current research, which was conducted with a combined qualitative and quantitative approach, in addition to identifying the characteristics of the target tourism industry for the development of industrial tourism, analyzed their importance-performance, focusing on the development of the herb industry in Kashan city. In order to identify these characteristics, in addition to library studies, observation and interviewing methods were also employed and finally 9 characteristics were extracted. Then these features were evaluated by 16 experts in the field with the performance importance analysis method. Based on the research findings, paying attention to such characteristics as "innovation degree and difference between the target industry and other industries" and "development capacity of the target industry (tourism)" which have high importance and low performance in the Kashan herb industry, are to be given the first priority.

By learning the role and effects of the media in the field of international communication, governments seek to influence and persuade the public opinion of other countries by making an intelligent use of communication. One of these cases is the psychological operation that is considered and used by the Zionist regime in the realm of public diplomacy. This research, therefore, aims at exploring the principles used for the matter by studying the report of “The Israel Project Global Language Dictionary”. To do this, in a comprehensive manner, the entire report, which contains 116 pages and 18 chapters in English, has been analyzed by qualitative content analysis. The results indicate that using diverse and numerous techniques in the form of psychological operations to influence the people of other countries is the main strategy of Israel, which according to the theory of constructivism is the ultimate goal of governments that intend to manipulate people’s attitudes in conformity with their wills. Based on this, the Zionist regime has used the following principles of psychological operations, mentioned in order of importance: image creation, intimidation, labeling, benumbing, incitement, creating division, provocation, making enemies, expressing through the others’ mouth, and dehumanizing.
