The research method was a qualitative type of phenomenology. For this purpose, based on the qualitative research process and selected methods, from the field of research, which was all women who performed cosmetic surgery or cosmetic surgery through the Instagram program, a number of them were selected as the final sample based on heterogeneous targeted sampling. There were 7 people whose information was collected using semi-structured interviews and the interviews were continued until information saturation. In the following, the findings were analyzed using the 7-step method of Claysey. From the total findings of this research, a number of 186 related sentences and phrases were extracted, and after removing duplicate codes, 92 conceptual codes were obtained. First, the codes were converted into simple concepts and then they were categorized into 9 categories with the same concept and 2 main propositions, which included environmental factors with 5 sub-concepts, background factors with 4 sub-concepts. The findings indicated that women who underwent cosmetic surgery through Instagram had successful and unsuccessful experiences, which were the result of research and searching on Instagram, consultation with friends and clinic consultants, family supervision, and finally their own personal opinions. And of course the influencing factors were the family's situation and opinions, economic situation and interest in changing body and being modern Manuscript profile -

4 - Conceptual framework of social creativity and its application in the theory of creative city

This reconsideration is necessary, because there is a threat that the individualistic and physiologic approach now arranges the concept of the creative city over any further exploration of creativity and its wider role in the economic, social and cultural environment. Creativity is shown as an issue in the domination of talented artists and geniuses in the theories of the creative city. This individualistic approach leads to ignore the social dimensions, levels, and functions of creativity. However, creativity is increasingly assumed as a social phenomenon in some studies, especially in the context of social groups, organizations, and city. An integrative review of the literature reveals that the engagement in creativity processes occurs not only in individuals, but in individuals interacting with each other, in group and team works, multilevel systems and finally in complex systems such as cities. There is a need to re-conceptualize creativity as a social phenomenon, resulting from the interaction between human beings and other people, their surrounding environment and the artifacts that represent essential collective knowledge. This article offers a conceptual framework for the main processes of social creativity that integrates perspectives from a body of related literature by using a conceptual map. Criteria for social creativity in the context of urban planning can be categorized into three general categories as contextual factors, sustained everyday practices and conscious activities. The most basic requirements of social creativity are the suitable contextual factors (a set of historical, social, cultural, and political conditions) and the existence or creation of motivation in society. Social creativity in urban planning context requires a paradigm shift and change of approach toward creativity from individualistic (physiologic and expert-based) viewpoint to holistic (sociological and people-based) approach. This paradigm shift plays the role of creativity in the larger domain of urban planning discipline and thus the literature of the creative city theory provides the basis for considering it as a social issue. Creative urban planning requires a collaborative, facilitative, and participatory process based on the discourse making among different stockholders and provides the possibility for the local society to accept the role of experts in the process of urban planning. Therefore, this paper discusses the relationship between individual and social creativity and analyzes the need for the social approach in the urban planning. The paper also suggests an agenda for re-qualifying the creative city theory according to this fundamentally social conception, including how this can be achieved through implanting a new concept of social creativity. The findings include a conceptual diagram which shows the analysis and interpretation of the relationship between actors and social creative process, context and the results of creativity. Social creativity requires social action and adopting process-based approach to urban planning, promoting dialogue among actors, participation and everyday experiences. In conclusion, several proposals are offered for the application of concept in the theory of social creativity and creative city. Manuscript profile -

Hence the word of mystic –prose or verse-is the expression of the mystic's experiences and his unique outlook in regard to universe. It is due to the same cause that his words transcend the physical world, understandable for those who are talented or gifted enough to perceive truth.Razi-ol-Din Artimani is one of these mystic poets of eleventh century (Hejri shamsi) whose poems were first published by Mohammad Ali Emami in 1346 (hejri shamsi) . Among his poems which are nearly 1500 lines, Saghi Nameh is more well-known due to its pathetic feelings. This paper will examine his poetry as well as his character. Manuscript profile -

This study employed a qualitative approach along with a descriptive phenomenology method. The sample consisted of 20 women between 22-57 years old from Isfahan in 1397 who were selected through purposive or judgmental sampling and were investigated by a semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed using Collaizi method. The data analysis resulted in 2 main themes: psychosomatic reactions and physical reactions; for each of them, more subthemes were found. Psychosomatic reactions including: body fitness problems, nutrition problems, respiratory problems, cordial problems, muscular problems, sleep problems, nervous problems, anxiety reactions, digestive problems, and blood pressure problems; and physical reactions including: physical problems and somatization. The results of this study showed that infidelity was not experienced similarly by all women victims. Different perceptions of infidelity have various effects on victim women and they have different experiences and reactions.

This research was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The participants were 10 teachers who were graduated from Fars Farhangian University and had experiences of teaching mathematics in the fourth grade of elementary, which were selected by a purposive sampling for interview until the data were saturated. The data collection method was in-depth semi-structured interview. The thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that, 111 basic themes, 19 organizing themes and 2 comprehensive themes were formed under the title of mathematical misunderstandings and their causes. By analyzing the extracted themes, it can be realized that the participants had a relatively good knowledge of mathematical misunderstandings. They considered the heavy content of the fourth grade mathematics textbook and its incompatibility with the cognitive development of the students and the lack of time to present the concepts as the most important causes of mathematical misunderstandings in this grade. Therefore, by reviewing the content of the fourth- grade mathematics textbook, it can be expected that a more appropriate platform for the mathematic teaching _learning process and preventing misunderstandings should be provided.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the lived experiences of virtual education of students in the era of Corona. The participants were 60 male and female students of Payam Noor University of Ahvaz, who were selected voluntarily and asked to share their experiences of virtual education. Due to the fact that the classes were virtual and the physical presence of the students was low, they were selected from among the applicants to the university. The qualitative research method is phenomenology. Data were obtained through a researcher-made questionnaire (with adequate reliability and validity) and a semi-structured interview. Content validity (60 students, 3 psychology professors, and one educational science professor) was used to measure the validity of the findings, and Cronbach's alpha was used to measure reliability. Data analysis was done with the help of seven-step coding by Collaizzi (1978). The results showed that the lived experiences of virtual education from the students' point of view have two general positive themes (savings, reduction of accidents, and useful attendance) and their negative lived experiences of virtual education (reduction of social interactions, physical problems, learning and evaluation problems, and technical problems). Composed. Due to the fact that virtual education has strengths, therefore, in order to develop this method of education, it is possible to provide a solution for their development, and with proper planning, its negative aspects can be reduced.

The qualitative research design was implemented using the descriptive phenomenological method. The research population consisted of 17 teachers with teaching experience in Shiraz in 2021. Their selection was performed through a purposeful sampling approach and standard sampling method. The data collection method was a semi-structured interview. The criteria of acceptability and reliability of qualitative data were used to measure the initial validity of the data. After coding the data, the theme analysis method (basic, organizing, and global themes) was used to form a network of quality themes for the Shad program management information system. The five organizing themes were experiences related to students’ academic performance, students' behavioral interactions, students' evaluation experiences, and teachers’ teaching, experiences related to parents, and finally, an exploratory model in a global theme called system quality. Considering the necessity of online teaching in all grades, especially elementary school, it is suggested that policymakers and educational planners first provide the necessary technological infrastructure for the trustees of the field of education and measures such as knowledge of the management information system in the Shad program and how to use it. It is desirable to create a two-way teaching environment, create a student evaluation system, improve the speed of programs, and so on to see the effective results of such systems.

Employing a qualitative approach and descriptive phenomenological strategy, the study involved primary school teachers from Dinour district, Kermanshah province, selected through purposeful sampling based on specific criteria. Fourteen teachers meeting the requirement of teaching in bilingual multi-grade classes were chosen through data saturation. Research data was collected via semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the six-step Colaizzi method, resulting in the classification of findings into two general themes, nine categories, and 42 codes. The study highlighted those teachers not only encountered challenges typical of multi-grade classrooms but also grappled with the complexities of students' bilingualism, intensifying the difficulty of their teaching role. Primary challenges faced by teachers in multi-grade classrooms encompassed aspects related to students, teachers, curriculum, organizational and administrative factors, along with familial challenges. Bilingualism-related hurdles included difficulties in comprehending academic concepts, excessive reliance on rote memorization, misinterpretation and misrepresentation of ideas, limited articulation of students' thoughts, and identity conflicts. Consequently, the research proposed potential solutions for policymakers to make informed decisions and offer support to teachers, ultimately enhancing the overall educational experience.

Urban pov MoreUrban poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon and urbanites due to many deprivations; Lack of access to employment opportunities, adequate housing and infrastructure, lack of social security and access to health, education and personal security are suffering. Urban poverty is not limited to the above-mentioned characteristics and also refers to unstable conditions leading to vulnerability and inability to deal with injuries. Given the importance of the issue of urban poverty, governments are constantly thinking of policies that will reduce urban poverty. The present study is descriptive-analytical. And the statistical population of this research includes reports that are available and their main theme is about urban poverty reduction policies, the statistical sample of which is related to New York City and Brazil and Indonesia. The results of the present study indicate that poverty reduction programs and policies in New York seem to be successful, and the reason for this success is that this poverty reduction program does not only emphasize the economic dimension of poverty, but also its social dimension. Regarding the poverty reduction program and policy of Indonesia and Brazil, it can be concluded that these countries emphasize only the economic dimension to identify poverty as a multidimensional phenomenon, and considering the other dimensions of urban poverty, a large number of poor are ignored in poverty reduction programs.

This research is carried out using correlation method and using structural equation method. The statistical population of the study consisted of all senior students of University of Kashan in 2017-2018 academic year (N=1218). Stratified random sampling was used. The sample size was estimated based on the Krejcie & Morgan formula of 300 (135 males and 165 females). The research tools include the Maslach's Burnout Inventory (Schaufeli et al., 2002), Avoidance Strategies Scale (Turner et al, 2002), Personal and Educational Development Inventory (Lawless & Richardson, 2004), and Academic Engagement Questionnaire (Reeve &Tseng, 2011).

The study's statistical population consisted of managers and senior petrochemical experts, of which 200 were selected as a sample group. The research tool was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed based on the collective opinion of faculty members and management experts, and Cronbach's alpha was used to determine the degree of reliability. The results of exploratory factor analysis ultimately lead to the identification of factors affecting visionary leadership based on the managers’ lived experiences of the Marun and Amirkabir petrochemical complex in the form of a conceptual model of visionary leadership style. The model includes production challenges, inflexibility, technical and political management, authoritarianism, employees’ personality differences, input and output of the organization, lack of intra-organizational integration, human relations management, vision presentation, supervision, and management of human resources. The confirmatory factor analysis of the visionary leadership model showed that the visionary leadership style model and the affecting factors in Marun and Amirkabir petrochemical complex could be fitted and applied. It was indicated that these data are reliable, and the obtained model has sufficient validity. The ranking results also showed that the most influential factors on visionary leadership are human resource management, authoritarianism, and lack of integration. Other factors are in the following ranks of importance, including supervision, human relations management, production challenges, technical and political management, employees’ personality differences, the entry and exit factors of production, inflexibility, and vision presentation.

It is called "mystical experience". This experience is ambiguity when it comes in the form of language; in this way, different narrators create different narrations from "a single experience". In mystical texts, on one hand, the author tries to convey her/his thoughts, and on other hand, to "hide the secrets from strangers (na-ahlān)". By using descriptive-analytical method and based on the ideational metafunction, the present article tries to study the role of "experiencer" in the philosophy of illumination (Falsafeh Eshraq). In his treatises, Suhrawardi, as the founder of this school of thought, refers to themes like separation from higher world, spiritual nostalgia, removing barriers to suluk and meeting the old wise man, and focuses on spiritual journey (suluk) to the world of light and releasing from the worldly prison. The findings show that by overcoming the illuminate (Eshraqi) worldview, the relational processes have become mentalistic processes in the verbal sphere. Suhrawardi, first, describes the symbolic concepts with the aim of creating a tangible space, and then, interprets them by creating a space for dialogue. Finally, as the old wise man, he expresses the abstract concepts. Manuscript profile -

This qualitative study was conducted using the phenomenological method. Data collection was done via semi-structured interviews of 15 teachers who had experiences about lesson study. The data analyzed following Strabert and Carpenter’s (2003) method. The analysis revealed four main themes including individual, content, organizational, and methodological challenges and also, 19 sub-themes including teachers’ lack of in-depth knowledge of lesson study, low motivation, teachers’ lack of interest in new methods, biased attitude towards lesson study, teachers’ low education, lack of appropriate resources, improper content organization, imitation and copying, non-native content, content theorizing, centralism, lack of facilities, lack of appropriate training in teacher training courses, organizational perspective on lesson study, lack of appropriate tools to operate lesson study, no sympathetic involvement of the teacher, lack of attention to children’s interests, ignoring the child, the use of traditional methods. According to the findings of the study, it can be concluded that without taking into account the challenges related to lesson study, its implementation will not be very effective.

To bring this strain process to an end, recovery is needed. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of job demand`s recovery on staff`s recovery experience (mental detachment, relaxation, mastery experience and control). The research method was experimental in which the pretest-posttest design with control group was used. The study population included all male employees of Ahvaz National Drilling Company out of whom 30 persons were selected for hypothesis testing and 80 persons were selected for validating the questionnaire through simple random sampling. “Recovery Experience Questionnaire” was used for data collection 10 two- hour training sessions were held for 5 weeks. Due to lack of regression homogeneity assumption for doing covariance analysis, the analysis of variance was performed for analyzing the data. The results showed significant differences between experimental and control groups in terms of relaxation, experience mastery, mental detachment, and feeling of control (p <0/001). Therefore, training of job demand`s recovery increased different dimension of employees' recovery experiences. In other words, participants in training class learned how to manage their time after work to relieve from job demands and stress. Manuscript profile -
