Based on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork from 2004 to 2006 among a range of Iranian organizations in Washington, D.C., this article argues that the studied organizations were engaged, without being always necessarily aware of it or formulating it as such, in what we may call an “ethos transplant:” a transformation of “Iranian character” and political culture to make it more susceptible to “democracy;”a subject-making project in the Foucauldian sense.  We trace this medicalized discourse about “national traits” and “political culture” to the 19th century and review several outbursts of this approach in the Iranian and international scene thenceforth.  Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula, is discussed at length as the epitome of this kind of approach

This paper examines intergenerational transmission associated with population dynamics from sociological approach. The discussion is based on the analysis of observations in a country that has experienced substantial changes in family formation resulting in one of the world's most spectacular falls in women's birth rate ever experienced in human history: Iran. Facing fundamental historical experiences and substantial socio-cultural changes over the past decades, the context of this study acts as a unique ‘social laboratory’ to survey the intergenerational comparisons. The results of this analysis show substantial intergenerational transmission, which provide new evidence to support Sauvey's (1978) and Weeks's (1994) socio-demographic investigations in some other developing countries

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the dimensions of the innovative university in order to provide a model in Islamic Azad universities, East Azerbaijan. This research regarding its purpose was an applied one, which was carried out using an exploratory mixed methods approach. Methodology: In the qualitative section the Delphi method and in quantitative section descriptive method was used. The statistical populations of this study, in the qualitative section of the study were the exports who were aware of the subject and in the quantitative section were faculty members of Islamic Azad University of East Azerbaijan(n=900). In the qualitative section, the purposeful sampling method, considering the saturation law (n=12) was used and in the quantitative section, using random stratified sampling method, based on the scientific rank of faculty members and based on the Cochran formula, 270 subjects were selected as the statistical sample. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire of the dimensions of the innovative university. The reliability of the questionnaire was quantitatively determined using Cronbach's alpha method (0.891) and composite reliability (0/688). Exploratory factor analysis using SPSS software was used to analyze the data and validation used to Smart PLS. Findings: Also, the results showed that the endogenous variable (Innovative University) has the ability to explain the changes exogenous variable (the five structural, strategic, research structural, environmental and educational pedagogical dimensions).Conclusion: The overall value of the model was also confirmed using the GOF= (0/396) standard.

Purpose: Technologies in general and media in particular influence their audience through their form and content. There are many studies about the role and effect of classic media on values change; however, few studies have explored new emergent media such as social networks. The aim of this descriptive-survey research is to investigate how time spent on social network and social network addiction is related to value system of students. Methodology: Statistical population consisted of all students studying at higher education institutes in Bojnord during 2015-16 academic years. A sample of 229 students was selected using cluster-random sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS 19 software. Findings: Findings revealed a negative significant relationship between the use of social network and social network addiction on the one hand, and the value system of students on the other hand. This finding held true for religious, cultural, political and social components of the value system, except for economic component. Discussion: According to these findings, higher education should pay greater attention to promoting media literacy of students.

Purpose: The notion of “gender segregation” in the universities has often been challenged with different concurring and opposing theories. The issue has been further highlighted in Farhangian University. Although all the qualifiers in this university, prior to and during admission process, have been cognizant of such gender segregation, some elicit resistive responses pursuant to admission and passing some semesters, and then they present their commentary on the relevant implications. The present research seeks to investigate the consequences to gender segregation form the students’ perspective. Methodology: By applying a semi-standard interview and a purposive-qualitative procedure, an in-depth interview was performed on 33 students studying at least 5 semesters in the university, and the interview was terminated based on theoretical saturation. For data analysis, grounded theory was applied. Finding: The research findings were divided into 18 principal categories, and the category “dubiety (Tashkik, in Islamic Terminology) over gender segregation” was semantically reconstructed. The consequences of the dubiety were categorized in the two groups including consensus and inconsistent (i.e. contradictory) consequences. Conclusion: In the end, the research findings were presented in the form of a researcher-made model.

Purpose: Cyber social networks and cyberspace are like a double-edged sword that brings favorable and unfavorable consequences. The advantages cannot prevent us from neglecting its dangerous disadvantages that disregard the ethical principles and community values. The present research has been carried out to explain the factors related to the implementation of cyber social network policies in Iran with the social responsibility approach. Methodology: The research is descriptive and also developmental-practical in terms of objective. Three researcher-made questionnaires including the questionnaires of related factors, social responsibility and the implementation level of social network policies were used to collect data. The validity of questionnaires was approved according to the opinion of professors and experts. As well, the reliability was confirmed using the Cronbach alpha. The statistical population of this study includes two categories: the first group consists of experts selected by purposive non-random sampling method; the second group consists of experts in the field of cyberspace, cyber social networks, media and general issues selected by quota sampling. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and AMOS. Findings: The research results showed that among the relationships between factors related to the implementation of cyber social network policies in Iran, the technical factor had been identified as the most important external factor and the structural factors as the most important internal factor. The implementation level of cyber social network policies and social responsibility is lower than moderate. Discussion: According to the results of the model fit analysis as well as the experts’ opinion, it can be concluded that the designed model is not sufficiently effective.

Purpose: The purpose of research is to observe the influence of public trust on accepting KBOs. The implementation method of the research is descriptive (non-experimental) and with correlation analysis model formed by structural equations used the least minor squares. Methodology: The participants of the survey were consumers of KBO services. According to Cochran formula for unspecified society ,384 individuals were chosen as statistical sample selected totally random. From 384 questionnaires distributed ,370 were answered and 14 others were discarded due to many unanswered questions. In due course 370 questionnaires were processed. To measure social trust, Safarinia and Sharif questionnaires were used. (1389). due to receptivity of knowledge-based organizations, researcher-made questionnaire were utilized. this questionnaire contains 5 elements which composed based on available questionnaire. We realized there is a meaningful and significant relation between KBO admission and all aspects of social trust. the influence of social trust on KBO’S admission was positive and meaningful. The influence of social trust on KBO’s admission is positive and meaningful. Findings: According to the results,72% Variance model in knowledge-based organizations admission were indicated by Research model. Therefore, we realized strengthening social trust will bring acceptance to KBO’s presence. Discussion: In this regard, managers and officials in KBOs must concentrate on gaining and obtaining social trust in case of adequate social acceptance.
