The excitement caused by the revolution led to the establishment of dozens of independent newspapers and associations. This issue is critical because, before the constitutional revolution, there was no opportunity for the presence of the urban middle class in society, except for a few publications and state-affiliated associations. Consequently, individuals and groups published their opinions through newspapers and associations, resulting in various interpretations of modern concepts. In the meantime, the constitutionalists had the upper hand and over 90% of the urban media were at their disposal. On the other hand, there were a few conservative-traditionalist newspapers, and in terms of content analysis, only the Oghyanoos newspaper deserves to be examined. The paper, which was run by the spiritual thinker Abdul Rahim Elahi, opposed the interpretation of modern ideas by constitutionalists. The findings of the research show that he defined freedom within the limits of the law by using the opinions of European thinkers. He also interpreted the law based on Sharia. This tactic exposed the behavior of radical constitutionalists against the freedom stipulated in the constitution and sanctified the position of the monarchy. By examining the concept of freedom in the opinions of European thinkers, this article takes into account the issue of its simultaneity and development over time and shows its impact or the opposite in the content of the Oghyanoos newspaper.The constitutional revolution provided the ground for developing modern concepts in the context of society.

Knowledge of the achievements of the efforts made will be enlightening from a scientific and practical point of view. In this regard, two goals can be imagined. The first goal is to identify the characteristics of the existing articles in terms of theoretical, methodological and content coordinates, and the second goal is to identify the effects of the Corona crisis on the Iranian society.
Sylvia Walby's concept of crisis has been used as a thinking tool in the analysis of information taken from selected articles. Relying on the systematic review of previous researches, 93 articles related to this topic that were published in social sciences and sociology journals of Iran between 2021 and 2022 were selected and reviewed. The results of the analysis indicate that most of the researches have studied Covid-19 at micro level and with a descriptive (39.8%) and explanatory-consequential (35.9%) approach. Social psychology (19.2 percent) and sociology of religion (14.1 percent) have been in the center of researchers' attention more than other fields. Also, most of the researches (41.5%) have considered Covid-19 as a crisis that has changed the shape and structure of society in some areas such as religiosity, lifestyles, leisure patterns, mourning ceremonies and education methods.

The aim of the article is to study environmentalism and its sociological explanation in Iran with the cross-country comparative approach. Based on the theoretical perspectives that explain environmentalism, the effect of various variables such as economic welfare or livelihood poverty, social capital, gender, Religion and religiosity has been experimentally tested. Methodologically, the study was conducted using the documentary method and secondary analysis of World Values Survey (WVS) data in the latest wave. The 7th wave has been implemented in 59 countries (including Iran) between 2017 and 2020. According to the findings, Iran is placed in cluste 1 (the countries with a high score in the environmentalism index), and has obtained the 11th rank among 59 countries. The results show that environmentalism both in Iran and in the world is directly affected by education, economic well-being, social participation and Post-Materialist values and inversely by the variables of age, poverty and religiosity. Another important finding of the research is the different environmental tendencies of the world's dominant religions: While Jews consider economic growth and environmental protection to be equally important, Christians are more environmentalists and Muslims are more advocates of economic growth.Due to the existing risks, measuring environmental attitudes has become one of the most important social issues today.

The purpose of this research is to find a model to explain the causes of administrative corruption in Tehran Municipality. Administrative corruption was studied with inductive approach and grounded theory method and semi-structured interview tool. In this regard, interviews were conducted with 30 managers and experts in the field of administrative corruption, and after performing open coding, central coding and selective coding, 12 main concepts and 44 areas of administrative corruption in Tehran municipality were identified. Finally, the paradigmatic model, the causal conditions, the intervening conditions and the underlying conditions of the occurrence of administrative corruption in Tehran Municipality were explained. The causes of corruption can be investigated at two levels, namely organizational structure and organizational environment and bureaucratic activism. The factors and axes identified that are the cause of the occurrence of administrative corruption in the municipality are all gathered around a more general concept that has created a suitable platform for the emergence of these areas, and that is the concept of "corrupt organizational structure". The "corrupt organizational structure" has finally caused the creation of a culture of corruption in Tehran Municipality, which results in the reproduction of corruption in the organizational context of Tehran Municipality.Studying and understanding the causes, processes, indicators and consequences of administrative corruption and ways to deal with this phenomenon is an undeniable necessity for the administrative system.

Reproducing the culture of rape on campus along with ethnocentrism and the bureaucracy's lack of sensitivity to sexual harassment of women, create a situation in which victims' complaints are ignored or they are forced to remain silent in order to preserve their honor and dignity. The consequences of these conditions will be the collapse of students' beliefs about the position of university and their alienation and frustration. Eventually, the university is unsuccessful in realizing its aspirations and achieving its goals to meet the needs of society and the growth and development of a more just social order and moving toward gender equality.The main purpose of this research is to provide a data-driven model about causes and circumstances of occurring sexual harassments in the university.

Considering this confrontation and more precisely, this dialectical contrast can be understood in different types of differentiation, opposition, conflict, contradiction and symmetry, the main focus of the research is to answer to this important question: “what will be the final outcome of the confrontation of these two sets of definitions, for this group of girls”? In order to answer this question, the grounded theory method was used and 13 in-depth interviews were conducted based on Theoretical sampling and in accordance with the logic of theoretical saturation. The research findings indicate the existence of gender identity conflict as the outcome of the mentioned dialectical contrast. Although such a conflict is not perceived in the same way for all the girls and would be different in quality and quantity depending on the material and cultural identity-building resources that a person has. Furthermore, in facing the situations arising from this conflict, depending on the contextual and intervening conditions, a combination of solutions is used, which includes both solutions in line with the personal gender identity model (more modern identity patterns), and strategies in line with the social gender identity model (more traditional identity patterns).This research aims to analyze the lived experience of girls who live and work independently of their family in Tehran city, In situations where it seems that their personal gender identity and social gender identity are facing each other.
