The results show canonical correlation is significant between selected economic and social indicators in MENA countries in all canonical correlation functions. Special values for canonical functions are 3.33 and 0.1 for the Hotelling-Lawley Trace and the Wilks' Lambda tests, respectively. Also, the first canonical function fits 42%, the second 35% and the third 20% of the canon between economic and social indicators in Mena countries. The total fit of two first canonical functions is 77%. The equations of the standardized focal variables for economic and social indicators show in MENA countries, the higher the unemployment rate, the higher the rate of intentional crime. The increase in the unemployment rate is also affected by indicators such as the increase in inflation and the increase in the literacy rate.

The research findings show that social inequalities, on one hand, cause poverty and on the other hand, they are the origin of social conflicts and contradictions. Therefore, the most important consequence of social inequalities are the class gap, as the creation of a disturbance in the order and cohesion and social solidarity of a society, which results in a feeling of relative deprivation and a sense of social injustice in people. The themes resulting from the lived experience of socio-economic inequality, which were extracted among the people living in the western provinces of the country, indicate the existence of discrimination and social and economic inequality in these provinces, which the statistics also confirm slow economic inequality leads to a decrease in social participation at the community level. Social inequalities have deepened as a result of global expansion and influence, and with the increase of social inequalities, the phenomenon of underdevelopment has clearly revealed its undesirable side effects.

The Enac. and some cases of the clients of the two centers established under the Enac. have been analyzed; Also, the clients of one of the centers were interviewed and a questionnaire was completed. The staff of both centers were also interviewed. Findings explain the way in which the process of responding to homelessness, has been judicialized under the Enac. Almost all decisions depend on a special judge’s approval and decree. The roots of this judicialization, at first place, goes back to the Enac. It is centered around a criminalizing attitude to behaviors that are usually associated with homelessness, namely vagrancy and panhandling. The following judicialization of the process has resulted in that the centers to find a punitive and semi-jail identity rather than a supportive one, causing dissatisfaction of staff and clients, in the way that, the clients wish to be released from Therefore, it is necessary to formulate new laws and procedures in the aim of responding to homelessness effectively.

Abstract
This study examines the lived experience of powerful women who are victims of domestic violence in Iranian society with a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data has been collected in 2021 through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 7 powerful women who were purposefully selected from Tehran. The findings show that domestic violence does not disappear for powerful women, but its types changes. Patterns and themes related to the questions were extracted through theme analysis. The main themes of the social contexts of domestic violence are role conflict, imbalance in the construction of power in the family, the social label of the experience of violence, and the lack of legal protection for the victim. The themes related to the consequences of experiencing domestic violence in powerful women include resilience, negative self-evaluation and depression. Also, the main themes of transpathy of the experience of domestic violence are denying the superiority of men, optimism and emphasizing on their managerial position as a woman. What emerges from the findings is that powerful women who are victims of domestic violence, are affected by hegemonic patriarchal structures, and also, they are victims of the continuation of the cycle of violence resulting from their complicity with their abusive husbands.

Abstract
Some studies indicate the negative effects and some indicate the positive aspects of Internet on various aspects of its users' lives, but it seems that excessive use of any media fuels its negative consequences. The purpose of the current research is to analyze the Antecedents and Consequences Socio-cultural of Internet addiction using a systematic background review approach. This research was conducted by qualitative method based on systematic and systematic background review. In the process of systematic review, 83 articles were identified from 2002 to 2022, and by carefully studying the text of Persian articles by university professors and experts, 48 articles were identified. Social anxiety, social capital and social phobia are respectively the strongest antecedents and social isolation, social adjustment and opposite sex orientation are identified as the strongest socio-cultural consequences. Due to the heterogeneity in the studies, the effect size of the purposeful sampling method in researches related to antecedents and consequences was higher than other sampling methods. Internet addiction increases social isolation and orientation to the opposite sex and decreases social adaptation, and is affected by social anxiety, social capital, and social phobia.

Abstract
Among the most important and remarkable technological developments that have played an important role in the evolution of commercial exchanges at the national and international level is the emergence of digital currencies or cryptocurrency. The high capability of these cryptocurrencies in hiding the path of commercial exchanges and using peer-to-peer technology and removing the regulatory factor has caused a great desire to use these cryptocurrencies in criminal activities. On the other hand, this platform is a very suitable medium for the growth and development of criminal activities. The main issue is whether the entry of cryptocurrencies into Iran has had an effect on the increase in the volume of foreign exchange and goods smuggling and to what extent has this effect been? If the answer to this question is positive, the hypothesis of criminals using cryptocurrencies to facilitate their transactions is confirmed. To answer the question of this research, the ARDL method has been used, with the help of which data extracted from reliable statistical institutions have been analyzed. The results of the research show that the entry of digital currencies in Iran's economy has caused an increase in smuggling. The results show that the impact of using cryptocurrencies in smuggling is very high and can by long term be predicted up to 46%. Naturally, regulatory bodies should carry out the necessary supervision through possible channels, including service provider exchanges.
