In recent years, significant obstacles have emerged regarding marriage and childbearing among university students and graduates. The higher education system, from a policy and legal standpoint, bears responsibility for addressing these challenges. However, not only have these obstacles remained unresolved, but they have also been recurrent across different governmental periods. This recurrence suggests that the barriers are structural in nature, and since laws and regulations constitute a key component of any structure, it can be inferred that many of these issues originate in the legal frameworks governing higher education, rather than merely in managerial discretion or performance.Accordingly, this study seeks to answer the question: How and through what processes do recurring barriers to childbearing in the higher education system stem from its laws and regulations? Employing a process-tracing method, the study first identifies key recurring challenges. In the second step, in-depth semi-structured interviews with higher education managers and experts were conducted to investigate the causes. In the third step, by examining relevant laws and regulations identified in the previous phase, a causal chain was mapped to illustrate how these legal instruments contribute to the creation of such barriers. The study concludes that without revising legal framework, the reproduction of childbearing barriers within the higher education system will likely continue.

This study explores the transformations in high school students’ self-perception as global citizens in the city of Rasht, Iran. Globalization, as a socio-cultural phenomenon, has reshaped the values, attitudes, and identities of younger generations, confronting them with new challenges in redefining citizenship. The objective of this research is to examine the various dimensions of these identity shifts and analyze adolescents’ lived experiences in the context of globalization. The study was conducted using an ethnographic qualitative approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 male and female students in grades 10 to 12 (aged approximately 15 to 18) and through participant observation in school settings. Thematic analysis was applied to analyze the data. The findings revealed that globalization affects students’ identities in five major dimensions: globalization of everyday experiences, globalization of values, development of critical consciousness, sociocultural transformation, and increased emphasis on individual selfhood. These dimensions indicate that adolescents are not merely passive recipients of global influences, but rather actively reconstruct their personal and social values toward forming transnational identities. Tendencies toward independence, shifting reference groups, and critiques of educational and cultural structures were also observed. Overall, the study demonstrates that globalization is a multifaceted and complex process that deeply impacts all aspects of adolescents’ lives, leading them toward a redefined understanding of the self as a global citizen.

The theoretical framework of this study is derived from the theory of relative deprivation "Tedrabert Ger" and theories of dissatisfaction in the fields of sociology "Kreisberg" The statistical population of the research includes all citizens (both men and women) living in Ahvaz in 1401. The sample size is equal to 384 people using Cochran's formula and the samples were selected by random multi-stage cluster sampling. By checking the information and also analyzing the data using spss and Amos software, an attempt has been made to explain the appropriate data and communication model. Descriptive results show that citizens have a feeling of relative deprivation at a high average level (18.24). Also, their level of dissatisfaction is estimated at a high level (181/32). The results of the correlation test show the significance of the relationship between the feeling of relative deprivation (0.39) and the level of dissatisfaction. The relationship between the feeling of relative deprivation and the formation and emergence of social discontent (civil and non-civil) has also been evaluated as significant (0.26).

The present research tries to obtain a deep and detailed understanding of the lived experience of the Kolbers and their understanding of this phenomenon by using the qualitative approach and based on the narratives based on the lived experience of the Kolbers. To enter the study field, the method of interpretive phenomenology was used and to collect data, the in-depth interview technique was used in a semi-structured manner. Samples were selected through purposive sampling method with maximum variety and finally 28 participants were interviewed and the collected data were coded and analyzed in the form of 12 central categories. The results of the research show that the lived experience of Kolbars includes themes such as lived humiliation, hostility, alienation, endless fear, endless suffering, job aversion, lack of welfare, Sisyphean economy, economic-political apartheid, physical-spiritual depreciation, business life with bread and daily confrontation death with life. These themes indicate the fact that the experience of being a kolbari is accompanied by suffering and exhaustion (Physical depreciation), the decline and degeneration of lived human relationships (death of lived relationships), the disappearance of the day from life, and a different understanding of time (meaninglessness of time), and living in an atmosphere overshadowed by death (a dead-like lived space). This means that Kolberi alone does not include the experience of carrying goods in harsh and difficult mountain conditions,

The five-year development plans of the Islamic Republic of Iran have been striving to create a more balanced development in the country and lay the foundation for societal progress over the past four decades. One fundamental aspect of development in any society is addressing health and public health, which can be explored and advanced through health communication development. This article seeks to elucidate the role of health communication and the strategies employed in the development plans, aiming to answer the question: "What components are highlighted in the objectives of the country's five-year development plans regarding health communication, and what is the primary focus and ultimate goal?" To address this inquiry, the study utilizes a documentary method to gather and analyze qualitative content data, examining the program's directives. The findings reveal that the principle of "sustainable health" serves as the overarching and inclusive approach of the program. This concept is based on key principles such as "enhancing community health," "expanding social and universal insurance coverage," "ensuring food security and promoting healthy food production and environmental protection," "enhancing pharmaceutical and therapeutic oversight," and "implementing electronic health solutions." These principles can be actualized through the development trajectory with the support of health communication.

The aim of the present research is to adopt participatory strategies with an emphasis on the capacities of the local community in the policymaking of water resources management in Kurdistan province. Considering the water crisis and its consequences in the villages of Dehgolan and Qorveh counties in Kurdistan province, as well as the failure of top-down participatory approaches and, consequently, the inefficiency of structural and government-centered approaches dominant in policymaking, the redefinition and re-introduction of participatory policymaking in the field of water resources management is doubly important and necessary. Therefore, by adopting the participatory governance approach and the Ansel and Gash model, we seek to explain the policies, institutional and local actions, and their compatibility with the indicators of participatory water governance, and ultimately; to adopt participatory strategies emerging from the studied field. The method adopted, considering the contextual nature of the data, is based on the qualitative tradition and, within it, thematic analysis. For this purpose, , t Increasing the deterrent power of laws and incentive policies should also be adopted by institutions to facilitate this process. Finally, considering the weakness of synergistic participatory governance, participatory strategies, the formation of local committees, the development of digital technology and public awareness, participatory dialogue, and legitimacy-based participation can be proposed as a middle-ground participatory approach between the responsible institutions and farmers.

The present study aimed to understand the challenges of compulsory treatment of women's addiction and Presentation policy suggestions.The research method was qualitative and the necessary information was collected through observation and semi-structured interview techniques.The participants were 14 women who abuse drugs and 7 key informants in the area under study.The information obtained was analyzed through thematic analysis.Presence in the field under study and observation of the treatment space, accuracy in recording and documenting data, agreement and consistency in coding research themes, and providing quotes are the criteria used to increase the reliability and believability of the research findings. After analyzing the data ,in the section on challenges of compulsory addiction treatment, eight main themes were extracted, including a coercive/punitive approach to the problem, resistance to treatment, inhibitory feelings and emotions, a reductionist approach to treatment, weakness of the care/support system during treatment, normalization/internalization of the problem, a fragile support system, and weakness of the effectiveness evaluation and control system, and twenty subthemes. Accordingly, the two main themes were presented below with policy suggestions for reforming and improving the compulsory addiction treatment process, including care interventions during treatment,community-based care interventions, and the decision-making system. The research findings show that the process of organizing women at different stages of arrest, screening, care during treatment, and care after discharge faces various challenges and needs serious review and reform.

In the modern era, improving women's education is at the same time necessary and challenging. The goal of this study is assessment the experiences of women working in the education system in Sanandaj city and pursue continuing education. The theoretical and methodological foundations of this research are rooted in a phenomenological perspective. The sample size consisted of 16 participants, and data were collected through interviews. Data analysis was conducted using a three-step coding method, which led to the identification of five key concepts: "desire to study," "social promotion," "obstacles," "social context," and "management tactics." Ultimately, the study concluded with a core category termed "the dialectic of women management and social context."The research findings reveal that women decide to continue their education due to personal interest, serving as role models, academic status, increasing administrative rank and salary and improving their social standing. Their decision to pursue further education is influenced by personal, family and organizational factors. Women who possessed the adcaute personal abilities and received familial and organizational support to manage their situations the least amount of stress and pressure from multiple responsibilities. Conversely, in contexts where adequate support systems were lacking and the women themselves did not have the adcaute abilities or resources to manage their situations, the pressure and tension they experienced were significantly higher.
