Abstract
This paper probes the activities of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the affected areas of Kermanshah following the November 12, 2017 earthquake. A qualitative approach was employed with a single-site, descriptive, and exploratory case study design. Specifically, extended observations and focus group discussions were carried out in the Fuladi neighborhood of Sarpol-e Zahab. Additional interviews were conducted with knowledgeable local informants and the management of NGOs. The main discussion themes were community trust in the activities, services provided for women and children, healthcare and psychological rehabilitation, employment and entrepreneurship, and empowerment and reconstruction. Familiarity with NGOs and level of trust placed in them as well as in other stakeholders (particularly, the public sector) were also scrutinized. Findings indicate that the affected community placed a low level of trust in public-sector agencies but an acceptable level of trust in the NGOs and community-based organizations. NGOs’ performance in the initial post-disaster phase, especially in providing basic necessities and services, as well as in activities concerning children and women, were well received by the community members. Yet, the opposite was true for NGO activities on employment and entrepreneurship, providing health-related infrastructure, and reconstruction.

Abstract
The present article, focusing on one of the most important areas of production and reproduction of inequality and inferiority, namely labor relations, seeks to examine the conflict and rivalry of intellectual and social currents. The study of these currents from the perspective of their analysis and prescriptions on recent trends and processes of labor relations in Iran, i.e. the temporalization of labor, requires drawing the ratio of government, society, and market from the perspective of those currents. After drawing the most important features and coordinates these intellectual currents, based on the concept of development, the gaps are expressed. Despite the obvious differences and confrontations between these currents on the issue of labor and employment relations, both lack a developmental perspective and therefore are weak or lacking in both the role of government in development and the importance of the human factor for development. As a result, they either reject the government or the market.

Abstract
The main purpose of this research is how the merchants played a role in Iran's constitutional revolution in order to achieve extra-capital, until the formation of the second parliament. The research method in this research is historical and used to collect information from first-hand sources such as memories and chronicles and second-hand historical sources. Based on the findings of the research, merchants in the constitutional revolution, played a revolutionary role, using their economic-social capitals, and were able to play a major role in the victory of the constitutional revolution, achieving extra capital and forming the first parliament of the National Council. But merchants, after gaining extra capital and participating in the government arena (by winning about 40% of the seats in the first parliament), changed their role from revolutionary to conservative and reactionary, and the result was the closure of the first parliament by Mohammad Ali Shah. A passive role in the second constitution was the presence of 5% of merchants in the second parliament of the National Council and the loss of extra capital.
