Varamin City has faced an increasing growth in suicide attempts nowadays. The purpose of this research is to study the bases for committing suicide in this city. The approach of this research was qualitative, and the data-based strategy was used to code and analyze the data. The study participants were all young people from Varamin City who were referred to counseling and welfare centers because of a suicide attempt. Sampling was done in a purposeful and theoretical manner and theoretical saturation was achieved after an in-depth individual interview with seventeen people. The validity of the data was also obtained through review by experts and participants, and citations. The findings indicate that the central phenomenon of attempted suicide among young people under study is reproductive inequality. Causal conditions are disorganization of family boundaries, fear of subjectivity and instrumental view, skeptical self-concept, regressive marriage, and obstruction in self-perpetuation (meaningful agency). The bases also showed themselves in the form of categories such as limited charity, unstable mosaic texture, barren kinship/family chains, emotional poverty, and limited environmental awareness. The results show that in order to reduce suicide among young people, it is necessary to organize their action spaces so that they recognize themselves as agents and identity effectors and resist adverse conditions.
Introduction
Varamin City has faced an increasing growth in suicide attempts. The present study was conducted with the purpose of studying the contexts of suicide in this city. The distribution of suicide rate in Tehran province shows an increase in the suicide rate in the southeast of Tehran. According to the report of the Social Emergency Center of Iran's Welfare Organization (2021), the suicide rate in Varamin City ranks second among the eastern cities of the country after Pishva with 5.8 percent and 5.1 percent (the Social Emergency Center of Iran's Welfare Organization, 1400). Furthermore, in the year 2021, in order of priority, Tehran (1044 cases), Varamin (188 cases), Shemiranat (162 cases), Shahryar (160 cases), Islamshahr (145 cases), Shahr Ray (145 cases) attempted suicide that they have received specialized services from welfare centers. As can be seen, after Tehran, Varamin ranks second in Tehran province with 188 suicide attempts. In addition, in terms of suicidal thoughts in the years 2017 to 2020, after Pakdasht City, Varamin City ranks second among the cities of Tehran province with 57 cases of suicidal thoughts and attempts.
Literature Review
Parvin et al. (2018) investigated "Intentional Suicide: Contexts and Consequences" among young people of Pakdasht. The findings show that the social contexts that caused suicide can be investigated in two dimensions, macro and interpersonal. In the macro dimension, these fields are "weakness in temporal integration, generational poverty, and social backwardness." At the interpersonal level, social contexts include "group tensions, unfulfilled sexual desire, unstable family boundaries, and immature relationships." Delam et al. (2019), in a study titled, "Suicide Attempt by Teenagers: A Qualitative Study," showed that the breakdown of emotional relationships, conflict with family, the collapse of family structure, psychological problems, and the use of ineffective coping strategies are causes of suicide in teenagers. Kouchakian and Kaldi (2020) in "Suicide; A Response to the Elimination Cycle” showed that arbitrary behaviors, forbidden behaviors, valuing romantic feelings and a transcendental attitude towards marriage at the individual level, conflicting power hierarchies, lack of discussion and dialogue and participation, conditional support from parents, and limited interactions and lack of commitment are the main causes of suicide in Tehran. Vanberg et al. (2021) in a study titled, "Suicide Attempts and Suicide of Young Women in Turkey," showed that social and economic conditions such as job, family status, rejection, poverty, long-term physical diseases, and also family conflicts in the form of family violence and betrayal lead to suicide among women. Meng (2020) in "Rebellion and Revenge: The Meaning of Female Suicide in Rural China" showed that suicide in China has a different meaning for women of lower status in the family. Suicide as an act of revenge is understood. Suicide for women is a protest against the existing social and economic pressures that have rejected them morally. Keely et al. (2022) have studied the role of youth's perception of social support in explaining suicidal behavior. The results showed that the relationship between the perception of low school support and suicidal thoughts is stronger in those who do not have parental support.
Materials and Methods
The approach of the current research was qualitative and the data-based strategy was used to code and analyze the data. The study participants were all young people who tried to commit suicide in Varamin City and were then referred to counseling and welfare centers. Sampling was done in a purposeful and theoretical manner, and theoretical saturation was achieved after an in-depth individual interview with seventeen people. The validity of the data was obtained through review by experts, review by participants, and citation.
Results
The findings show that reproductive inequality is the central phenomenon of attempted suicide among young people under study. Causal conditions are "disorganization of family boundaries, fear of subjectivity and instrumental view, skeptical self-concept, regressive marriage, and obstruction in self-giving continuity (meaningful agency). The contexts also showed themselves in the form of categories such as "limited good, unstable mosaic texture, kinship/unproductive family chains, emotional poverty, and limited environmental awareness."
Conclusion
In this research, we wanted to study the bases for suicide attempts among the youth of Varamin City. Therefore, reproductive inequality was identified as the central category of suicide attempts. Causal conditions consist of six categories: "disorganization of family boundaries, fear of subjectivity and instrumental view, skeptical self-concept, regressive marriage, and obstruction in self-continuity (meaningful agency). The bases or contexts also showed themselves in the form of categories such as "limited charity, unstable mosaic texture, barren kinship/family chains, emotional poverty, and limited environmental awareness."
Keywords: Suicide, Fear of Subjectivity and Failure, Unstable Mosaic Texture, Limited Charity, Regressive Marriage.

AbstractFlanerie is one of the most important social Phenomena in the everyday life of individuals in Iran. This Phenomenon implies on many different meanings and themes in urban public life. Flanerie is an action oriented to shaping a cultural space and is a sign of resistance against dominant discourse and formal culture. This research attempts to interpret flanerie experience in Sanandaj public spaces. The main questions are: how do flaneurs understand and interpret their experiences? How do they make their interactions and meanings in these spaces? How do they construct their own subcultures and resist against the rituals of dominant culture? The theoretical approach consists of a constellation, using the views of Simmel, Benjamin and DeCerto about flanerie and modernity. The research method is urban ethnography, using fruitful techniques such as deep interview and participant observation. Also sampling is purposive-theoretical. The findings show that respondents’ interpretations of flanerie experience can be classified in to fivemain categories: 1- the colonization of everyday life in urban public spaces; 2- the creation and reshaping of symbolic spaces through flanerie; 3-the differentiation/ dedifferentiation of everyday life through flanerie; 4- the carnivalization of everyday life; and 5- flanerie as an urban subculture. The main finding is that flanerie is a social practice oriented to resist the dominant and formal cultural discourse.

Analysis of the content of social science textbooks in elementary, secondary and high school educational levels, the results of which are presented in this paper, aims to answer the question of “How well have water-related concepts and messages been addressed in social science textbooks?”. To find a solution to the aforementioned question and carry out a research on preliminary theoretical studies, the model was determined for content analysis, and consequently, the analysis began subsequent to determining the validity and reliability of the model.
Content analysis method, in this research, has been used in the form of quantitative analysis. The statistical population of the research is the social science textbooks of the first-grade elementary school up to the end of high school. Accordingly, the statistical sample is equal to the statistical society; in other words, the content has been analyzed on the basis of census method for more precision in the results.
Findings show that water-related content is missing from the textbooks. That being said, there are only two articles available on the issue; one on saving and the other on the optimal use of water in social science textbooks. It seems, in this regard, that some chapters in social science textbooks in different levels of education need to be redefined due to insufficient attention to the teaching of optimal water consumption.

The present study aims to identify the experience of Imam Reza's pilgrimage through a phenomenological study. Accordingly, the interview method and participatory observation have been used. A qualitative sampling has been used for Purposive Sampling Strategy. 28 interviews with participants were conducted, in which a relative balance was established in terms of gender and between the native and non-native pilgrims. For the conceptual framework of the study, William James's theory was used to define religious experience and a combination of indigenous theories and models of religious measurement were used to define the basic concept of pilgrimage experience based on three dimensions of thoughts (Beliefs), actions (Behavior), and emotions. Findings of the research revealed a variety of religious experiences in all three dimensions of religious experience. At the same time, there is a difference between the religious experiences of the native and non-native pilgrims in indicators such as belief in holy objects, patterns of time spending in the shrine. But in other elements and components of the pilgrimage experience, the variations between each of the two groups of native and non-native pilgrims were the same.

The consumer cooperative of "Sepah" is one of the important cooperatives of Iran. [Sepah] consumer cooperatives with sufficient capital and suitable management play an important role in fair distribution of welfare in Iran, considering the primary purposes of these cooperatives, i.e. responding to the consumption needs of their members, and the acceptable services they provide. lt is suggested that the number of these cooperatives to be increased. In this way, consumer cooperatives may have a modifying role in the market place, and in inhancing the purchasing power of low-income strata. Owing to the successful record of "Sepah" consumer cooperatives, it is also suggested that other cooperatives may study and adopt the managerial experiences of these cooperatives.

The conceptualization and measurement of news media credibility have been a continuing concern of mass communication researchers for many years. This study examined how students at the college of social sciences, Allarneh Tabatabai University, perceived news media credibility. The findings suggest that there is no statistical difference between the degree of credibility among news media (radio, television and newspaper) with respect to domestic news. However, the degree tends to be about an average.

Scientific literature on revolutions can be divided into three pans: Causer, phraseology or processes and internal and external consequences of revolutions. This article focuses on the third part emphasizing the Global impacts of the Islamic Revolution. The effect of the revolution on the Islamic world, is a reality which has been confirmed and supported by theoreticians, writers, researchers and even the political opponents of the revaluation. In this article an attempt is made to a conceptual framework for the explanation of this impact by providing four dimensions for the collection of plentiful data in fifty one Moslem states, and Moslem minorities in other countries, and for the theoretical organization of data on the impact of Islamic revolution. In accordance with the findings of this research, four factors namely: the attitude of Iranian society, the attitude and behavior of the Iranian government and leaders, the and attitude behavior of a given society, and finally, the attitude and behavior of the given government toward the Islamic revolution of Iran affect the influence of the revolution. Certainly, these attitudes and behaviors on both sides (Iran and the countries studied) have been changing over the times. On this basis, first a researcher can obtain a general picture on the impacts. Second, he can recognize the macro- axes of his data- system. Third, he can ascertain the main questions and crucial points of the study in each phases of the research. And fourth, he may use this model of study for conducting a comparative research design within the selected states.

The aim of the present study is a sociological investigation of women suffering from HIV/AIDS through an emic approach. The study utilizes the qualitative method of grounded theory, and the field of the research is Kerman, with the participants being women referring to the behavioral diseases counseling center. The data were collected via sequential interviews with fifty women. Data analysis culminated in five categories and one core category which were: exclusion-support, biographical disruption, vagueness of the patient’s rights, double powerlessness, and losing self. The core category was “The trap of women’s powerlessness in the process of an identity-oriented disease.” Generally, the findings indicate that the women’s powerlessness is a consequence of their exclusion and biographical disruption in the process of the disease. Also, the powerlessness in conjunction with the gender powerlessness culminated in weakness of the patient’s agency during treatment.

At the present time, technology has become an integral part of the social existence of humans and is the most important factor in the social transformation of societies. However, different societies, given their cultural capabilities, have been various responses to technology. Some societies with the proper understanding of the nature of modern technology have used it as an unimaginable opportunity for their progress. Others have contributed to the importation of technology as a contingency, and now they are struggling with many cultural implications. The main question of the article is, what is our encountering with technology, and what analyzes and solutions have been provided by our thinkers in this regard? To answer this question, at first, various views on technology were put forward and strengths and weaknesses of each of them were elaborated in detail. Then, from the historical, philosophical, social, cultural and political point of view, we tried to analyze how our society encounters with modern technology. The results showed that in addition to the paradoxical approach to the technology in our society, systematic efforts to understand the problematic of technology have not been made.

To understand government is one of the fundamental grounds of understanding Persia’s history. However, understanding Persia’s history requires examining the constituent parts of Persian society. This study is carried out with a critical approach, in historical individuality employing a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods and it investigates the proportion of forces in zones of Asir, Beyram, Alamarvdasht, Gallehdar, Gavbandi, Maleki and Tamimi of Fars state prior to the modern state. The findings of this study indicate that on the one hand, people in these regions had been generally armed and possessed the instrument of exerting coercion, on the other hand, the local governors needed the support of their subjects. This process causes the balance of forces between the people and the local governors, subsequently, bringing into existence cores of armed local power. Moreover, the existence of these armed communities in conjunction with data as to forces of central government and macro-level analysis of the country point out to the plural structure of government in Persia prior to its modern state.

“Childhood” is a modern phenomenon which has not been inquired historio-sociologically frequently. The prevalent prospect defines the child in a psychological system, and considers it to be an innocent, vulnerable and protection-needing being. Immanently, this form of constructing the child creates and excludes diverse experiences of childhood. But childhood is not an integral entity and we shouldn’t attempt to give meaning to its plural range of social experiences through its constructed criteria. The present researchers tried to mark one of these “excluded” childhoods with a historical approach and explore the context of emergence of “Daar-alta’adib” as the first carceral space of children. We made use of theoretical considerations and methodological assumptions of Foucauldian genealogy and archaeology to construct an alternative narrative of experiences of childhood in Iran. Findings indicate that the perception of childhood in first Pahlavi era was based on the figure of “child in need of education” and criminal children were represented in terms of educational pathology. The subject that was disciplined in this discourse was “ill-natured child” whom turned into “delinquent child” as historical changes came in to play. Protection ideology collaborating with psychology produced child as a vulnerable being, and through this process, spatial emergence of Daar-alta’adib became possible.

In the spring of 1995 a research was conducted in Shahed University to reveal why some of the students achieved greater progress than the others? Two groups of students were selected: the first group consisting of the students whose average scores in two semesters was 15 out of 20. The second group consisted of the students whose average grades during the same period were below the accepted level. Based on the theoretical framework several variable were high lighted and some 20 hypotheses were tested. Findings suggested that educational progress did not correlate with such variables as age, living system, employment, social status, housing situation, type of high school diploma, date of diploma, number of participation in contests and the year of acceptance to the university. On the other hand, variables such as gender, family problems, level of interest in liesure activities, course of study, calss attendance and social awareness proved to have an impact on students' educational progress.

The present research aimed at the sociological study of the jokes associated with the relations among different social groups in Iran, with emphasis on Telegram jokes in 2018, and attempted to answer the following questions: What messages do the jokes have about social groups from the social perspective? What feelings do these messages want to express? In order to answer these questions, we have used Kemper’s Power-Status Theory alongside investigating the existing literature on the sociology of emotions and sociology of humor. This research was conducted using quantitative-qualitative content-analysis method and the statistical population of the research was the jokes exchanged on Telegram in 2018. The results of the research on the content of the jokes indicate that the concepts of gender, ethnicity and family constitute the most significant group and intra-group issues, in which power and status confrontations are seen at most. On the other hand, jokes are used as efficient instruments for criticizing power and status inequalities in different social groups.
