Abstract
As a representation, landscape is a particular way of seeing. landscape is not only an ideology, but a visual ideology and a power relation. The purpose of this article is to investigate how to use billboards and visual memorials to present the desired discourses and imagery of local governance in the urban landscape of Dezful. To achieve this goal, all the billboards and visual memorials of the city are studied in a semiotic and representational way. Then the studied cases in terms of imagery patterns were studied and the characteristics of each of them were examined to get a clear picture of the semiotic landscape and representative designs of the city of Dezful. The results of this research show that with the start of the war and considering the damage done to the city, the local government felt the need for a new image related to the role of Dezful in the war. After the war, imagery related to the clergy enters the urban landscape in a new and completely contextual way. After several decades of dominance of these two discourses, with the emergence of new necessities, emerging discourses such as cross-border resistance and historical also entered the urban landscape of Dezful. In this context, cities like Dezful engage in a kind of political-ideological marketing to show their role in the ruling discourse and its key events in a more important and key way.

Abstract
Recently, the association between religious beliefs and English language teaching (ELT) has gained great attention. Yet, when reviewing the literature in ELT, it becomes clear that studies have been mainly concentrated on other religions such as Christianity. However, the relationship between Islam and English language education has remained considerably under-investigated. This qualitative multiple case study is an endeavour to address this scholarly gap. For this objective, ten male and female Iranian Muslim English language teachers, including six male and four female, in Iran were selected through purposeful sampling. This study aims to investigate the link between religion and construction of professional identity. By using in-depth interviews as the main source of data, and following the principles of an inductive content analysis approach, the study indicates that Islam influences the participants’ professional identity in three ways, namely: (1) increasing the teachers' wellbeing, (2) affecting their relationship with learners, and (3) providing them with a sense of duty to preserve the students’ religious values. Finally, theoretical and pedagogical implications as well as future research direction are presented.

Abstract
In reviewing the evolutions of sociological development in Iran, quantitative and qualitative changes have been considered as an important indicator in recognizing these developments. This paper, based on a generation approach, examines texts that have examined sociology in Iran. In the study of the meaning of sociology among generations, it is a question of how the approaches that have been studied in the past by sociology have and what have changed to date. Using content quality analysis methods, 186 written works have been reviewed and discussed specifically in sociology in Iran in the 70's and 80's. The dominant discourse on existing analyzes of sociology in Iran is developmental discourse with a pathologic orientation. The third and fourth generations see sociology as serving national development and solving social problems. But the new generation brings less prominence to politics and has a more tendency towards history and qualitative approaches in the study of sociology in Iran.

Abstract
The issue of women's empowerment is one of the most fundamental issues of contemporary societies, which has an inevitable link with their development. In Iran, in the fourth development program, women's empowerment was included among macro and executive policies. To that extend, many researches in different fields have tried to evaluate and measure the issue of women's empowerment in the country. The aim of the current research is to meta-analyze the studies conducted in the field of women's economic empowerment to provide a comprehensive picture of the findings and characteristics of the obtained studies. Qualitative meta-analysis method provides the possibility of evaluating and reviewing studies in two parts, formal and structural characteristics as well as content findings. A total of 70 reviewed studies including various articles and theses shared the two keywords of economic empowerment and women. A range of virtual databases such as Normagz and humanities database to the libraries of prestigious universities of the country are the source of data collection. Results show since mid-1990s, we have faced a considerable number of studies in this field. The applied methods are mostly quantitative and based on large-scale questionnaires. The results of the descriptive findings show that the executive policies of this field are mainly partial, in line with non-functional support (dependent) and without enough attention on the specificities and different coordinates of its fields, and there is a need to focus on the different needs of women, gender and cultural norms, and the infrastructure of each region.

Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the effect of structural variables such as the cycle of isolation, immobility and social depression taken place according to the socio-economic base of the elderly. This study was conducted on retired elderly people during the outbreak of Corona disease with the aim of analyzing the effects of the mentioned variables in pandemic conditions. The statistical population is related to the retired elderly in Ahvaz city during the last 5 years, of which 196 people were selected. The collected data were analyzed in the form of structural equations using pls-smart3 and spss software. The research findings showed that the impact of the entire socio-economic base on the variables; physical mobility (-0.378), mental mobility (-0.707), social exhaustion (0.422) and cycle of isolation (0.730). Also the effects of the total isolation cycle variable on the variables; mental mobility is (-0.488) and social depression (0.439), and the total effects of physical mobility on social depression were (-0.270). Therefore, the variable of continuation of the cycle of isolation predicts the level of social depression on the socio-economic status of the elderly (path coefficient (0.302). Socio-economic base affects the level of mobility on the physical dimension, but this influence on the mental dimension has not been confirmed. Also between the continuation of the cycle of isolation and social depression, the mental mobility variable plays a mediating role (0.265). Therefore, the results of this research can help improve the quality of life of the elderly in critical conditions and also help health and care organizations in planning and providing better services for this vulnerable group.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to identify the discontinuities in the discourse formulations of the teacher training system between the establishment of Dar al-Funun School and the establishment of Farhangian University. Therfore based on genealogical method and break analysis assumptions, descent analysis, zero analysis and coincidence analysis of this system have been done in three stages. Accordingly, based on descent analysis and zero analysis, the creation of a teacher training system is dependent on the formation of a new education system and has been modified or changed during this period. Coincidence analysis shows the existence of scattered events, each of which has had an effect on the country's teacher training system, such as Iran's defeats against Russia, the victory of the constitutional movement or global events such as the World War II, which have affected this system. The analysis of power shows through examining the statutes and instructions of the teacher training system in this period of time, that from Foucault's point of view, power is trying to control, normalize and shape governed subjects through various techniques, creating people's behavior.

Abstract
This article examines the model for utilizing the gaming industry in Iranian charitable organizations. In the recent years, the intersection of the gaming world and philanthropy has garnered significant attention through innovative approaches such as interactive environmental games and charity streams. These approaches not only challenge negative stereotypes about gamers but also enable the collection of donations and public education on charitable issues. Despite the high number of video game players in Iran, this potential has yet to be seriously leveraged to support philanthropic organizations. This study explores global experiences and examines the opportunities and challenges in the field through interviews with eight experienced gaming industry experts. It offers practical strategies for developing these relationships in Iran. Additionally a paradigmatic model for using the gaming industry in philanthropy in Iran has been designed. This research indicates that video games, with their access to a large and diverse population, can help raise awareness and attract donations for charitable causes. Furthermore, the interactive nature of games offers unique opportunities for educating on social issues and inspiring players to take action. The article suggests that Iranian charities and philanthropists equip themselves with gamified thinking to develop innovative activities that lead to increased investment and social participation. Ultimately, this research highlights the significance of video games as an innovative tool in philanthropy and their role in improving the social and economic quality of life in society.
