The present study tries to present the cycle of communication biosystem with approaches of mental models based on theories of meaning. The research method is of the basic purpose type and the qualitative content analysis method is deductive. Gathering information through review of research and analysis of related literature, as well as integration of research conducted is the basis for presenting the findings and explaining the results. The research community includes the basic concepts of studying texts based on unstructured matrices. In the research process, by studying the initial concepts in 6 stages, new concepts have been added. The validity and reliability of the research is based on the reliability of the researched texts. The analysis of previous researches shows that evaluating the communication system with an objective and subjective approach in solving the four communication problems has led to the formation of communication forms in the process of communication elements. Feelings and information processing mechanisms - create the communication cycle of the communication system with the involvement of individuals and professionals. The life cycle of communication will bring life and dynamism to the mind of the communicator and the communicator by emphasizing the "existence of meaning in the mind, not in the message." It is suggested that the life cycle of communication be examined by philosophical explanation of theories of meaning based on the cognitive representation of the mind and seems to lead to the analysis of a new discourse and communication network.

The study aims to investigate the effect of life skills on Tehran citizen’s media literacy by emphasizing on demographic characteristics. The results were obtained through applied research and survey method. The statistical population of the study according to national documents is 8,963million people living in Tehran city. The sample size was estimated 385 person by Cochran's formula. The sample was selected by multi-stage clustering method. The measuring instrument in the present study was a researcher-made questionnaire which its validity was measured by formal validity and its reliability was calculated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Independent T-test and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.The research findings indicated that demographic characteristics affect life skills and media literacy. The findings also represented that gender does not affect media literacy and life skills and their components, but age groups affect media literacy and life skills and their components. In the findings, it can be represented that gender cannot affect the variables affecting media literacy and life skills, but the age group, including young, middle-aged and elderly, affects media literacy and life skills. This may be due to differences in lifestyle, access to the media, time constraints in dealing with the media. Also, the significant level obtained (0.001) shows that the components of life skills affect media literacy.

This paper identified and explored how Iranian Twitter users framed Iran 2017 presidential election in a networked practice. Employing networked framing theory, we tried to identify which subjects were framed by networked publics on Persian Twitter. Moreover, we analyzed the similarities and differentiates in framing the election by different networked publics. We combined social network analysis, ethnographic content analysis and social media critical discourse study approach. First, we collected 2596284 tweets during the election period. Then, we focused on retweet (RT) network as the information diffusion network, and discovered networked publics by applying cluster analysis on this corpus. Afterwards, we identified 50 top influential users in each cluster based on their Page Ranks. Finally, we collected all tweets of these users in the whole network and analyzed them. We used three coders to code the selected sample of 10416 tweets in three rounds. Results showed that ‘Election campaigns’, Candidates and their fans ethical practices’, ‘Corruption’, and ‘Candidates’ qualifications’ were the most dominant networked frames. Furthermore, ordinary users were mainly responsible in framing these subjects..

Age of modern communication technologies and their expansion with its new conceptions such as virtual reality, cyberspace, etc., caused lots of changes in couples' relationships in Iranian families. By cultural changes, mass media made major changes in attitudes of couples towards emotions of each other in their married life. The present research aimed at studying the effects of virtual social networks and the foreign satellite TV channels on emotional sources of women. The framework and the theoretical model of this research is based on Thompson's "self-experience in a mediated world", but in order to enrich the research, theories by Gerbner, Campbell and Collins were also being used. The method of the research is casual (explanatory). The statistical population is 20-55-year-old women of Borujerd city of Iran. The sample includes 400 individuals based on Cochran formula. Disproportionate stratified sampling was used. Through directed questionnaire the required data was gathered and processed by SPSS software. The results show that degree and kind of use of foreign satellite TV channels has direct and positive relation with changes of emotional sources of women. Multivariate regression showed that factors related to foreign satellite TV channels in general could explain 37 percent of variance related to emotional sources of women. Virtual social networks, memberships in the networks, using rate, with the exception of attraction of use have also a direct and positive relation with emotional sources of women. Multivariate regression could explain 44 percent of the variance related to the emotional sources of women. Thus, the results confirmed the theoretical framework and showed being proportional with it....

Full dependency on human interaction, has made video game different from other narrative media. Two major viewpoints on narratology of video game are: Narratological and Ludological; The first one emphasizes the importance of narration and the necessity of its existence in video games, and the latter puts a fundamental distinction between video game and the literary narrative. The main purpose of this research is to review and compare the most important challenges and perspectives on the issue of narratology in video games and also to dissect the narrative of the game “God of War 2018” based on the examined perspectives.

Pilgrimage is one of the oldest religious rites and rituals that is closely related to the family. Socialization in Islamic culture is accompanied by modeling and modeling of a small, warm and loving family community. Today, in a historic transformation, the family is losing its social function, and the reality is that it is not as capable and perhaps capable of coping with problems and dangers. One of the most effective options seems to be among the factors that help maintain the foundation and function of the family in the face of the waves that have invaded the center of this humane institution. One of the models of faithful family life is formed during the pilgrimage, which has shown itself better in the last few years, especially during the Arbaeen Hosseini days, with the family presence of the pilgrims and the hosts on the Arbaeen pilgrimage. Using the qualitative method of "phenomenology", the present article seeks to answer the question: "What effects can religious rituals and religious rites such as the Arbaeen Hosseini pilgrimage ritual have on the family life of religious people?" The findings of this study eventually lead to five effects: 1. The rationality of civilization, 2- The capacity for significant efficiency in the economic, political, social and cultural spheres, 3- The creation of dynamism and a life based on love, 4- Stabilization and strengthening Divine identity and 5- Coordination of different elements of the family; reaches and explains them..

fashion Intellectual creation, the vital element of the fashion industry, is of great economic value. As the main approach of criminal support is value oriented, considering fashion to be a value in criminal support in the Iranian penal system is faced with challenges in some areas, such as criminalization and determining the sanction. This raises the following question: To what extent have the lawmakers focused on the standards of criminalization, basic principles, criteria, applicability, and the proportionality of sanction. Given the Iran and the French legal system as a relatively suitable criminal supporting system, as well as the United States, it seems that, although some support has been given to these intellectual creations under some headings in intellectual property law, major challenges still remain. The methods of interpretation and analysis of the Penal and Intellectual property law, and library resources have been used in the research to evaluate of conformity of standards of criminalization, and their applicability in the legal systems of Iran, France, and the United States. Findings demonstrates that criminal supporting in the fashion industry in the French and American systems is based on criminalization and attention has been paid to the economic nature and wealth creation of intellectual works, including intellectual creations in fashion, when determining the guarantee of execution. In Iran, however, inadequate standards of criminalization, copyright infringement, and determining the guarantee of appropriate execution have created challenges in the criminal supporting of fashion creations..

The "dominant aspect" or "dominant element" is one of the fundamental concepts in formalism. It can be said that the dominant element is the prominent component of any work of art which affects other components and elements of the work and changes them; as a result, it makes the semantic centrality of the work and its structural coherence. The present study examines the dominant element in Mahmoud Dolatabadi's Works, based on "Jay -e- Khali -e- Saluch”. His works are important in various psychological and sociological aspects, but it seems the dominant aspect of these works is the "controversy of tradition and modernity” so that other issues, including violence against women and the identity crisis and poverty, have been more meaningful in the shade of the controversy. Based on the results of the present study, it can be said that various manifestations of this element (controversy of tradition and modernity) have been manifested in different forms of isolation, rejection, denial of will, identity crisis, and so on.
