A number of studies have examined some forms of child labor, but there are no studies that systematically address the various forms of child labor, their contexts, characteristics, and consequences. In this study, using a qualitative method, the forms of child labor in Tehran have been studied. The study was conducted using the grounded theory method. The study population consists of three groups of children, their employers and child specialists. In order to analyze the findings, a three-step coding method was used to construct the theory of child labor. Findings show that children in Tehran work in various forms of work, including the worst form of work. The relations of these works are divided into three categories: kinship, employer and organized. The main causes of child labor are the development gap in the country, the war and poverty in Afghanistan, the poverty of families, the culture of some communities about children and child labor, the informal labor market and the legal framework and law enforcement. Also, the reasons for children and their families to work are to cover part of the household expenses, to learn skills in the absence of a link between education and employment. The main strategies of children and their families are a number of actions in order to promote and increase income and reduce work risks. In addition to being exploited, children in various forms of work, depending on their circumstances and characteristics, harms their physical and mental health and disorder their effective socialization.

This research has investigated the effectiveness of the family-based task centered model on the functioning of the working children's family. The importance of the present research is that for the first time in Iran, the family-based task centered model in social work interventions has been scientifically investigated and a protocol based on the task centered model for family-based intervention in working with the families of working children has been developed. The title of one of the vulnerable groups has been compiled and regulated.The current research is of an experimental type (pre-test-post-test with a control group), 30 families from the families of working children of "Talashegaran Yari Hamdel" Institute were sampled from among 50 families of the statistical population; In such a way that among the target statistical population, the families whose family performance scores were lower were determined and randomly placed in two experimental (15) and control (15) groups. Then, using the family-based task centered model, during 10 sessions, social work intervention based on the "family-based task centered model protocol" was implemented on the experimental group. Two methods of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for data analysis and analysis was done using spss software.Based on the obtained results, the average scores of the experimental group after the implementation of the intervention in the family function variable and its dimensions show a significant difference.

Previous researches about the relationship between religious belief and morality have reached conflicting findings and this shows that the effect of religious belief on morality cannot be direct. Therefore, for the pathology of religious belief, it is necessary to see which characteristics of religious belief can contribute to which forms of immorality under which conditions. The present study hypothesized that attribution to God makes it easier to justify passive immorality (omission of actions) and makes passive immorality seem more acceptable. With the purpose of testing this hypothesis and in a correlational design, 499 participants (230 men) with an average age of 37 years were selected among 30,000 subscribers of Hamrahe Avval and Irancell living in Tehran and Karaj and were randomly assigned into two groups of passive immorality (who read six stories about passive immorality) and active immorality (who read six stories about active immorality). Religious belief was measured with the Supernatural Beliefs Scale (Jong, Bluemke, & Halberstadt, 2013), and attribution to God and acceptance of immorality were measured with a researcher-made questionnaire. Regression analyses showed that the subjects who had more religious belief attributed passive immorality to God more than the subjects who had less religious belief, attribution to God predicted the acceptance of immorality, and religious belief had a negative relationship with the acceptance of immorality after excluding the variance of attribution to God. Also, the Moderated Mediation Model showed that attribution to God can explain why religious believers accept passive immorality more easily. These findings show tha

Social work as a helping profession has defined its position and roles for many years at the individual, group and community levels and for different target groups in accordance with the needs of its audience and has addressed its mission in various fields. One of the target groups of social work is the employees working in industries who form a cultural and social community of their own and who have injuries and need related assistance. The aim of the current research is to know the role of social work in the field of industry. This research is a qualitative study in several industrial companies, which was conducted by social workers with more than three years of experience in the industry and with the criterion of data saturation with ten people with opinions and related to the topic in a targeted manner and with semi-structured interviews. The data have been explained by thematic analysis method. The results showed that all participants emphasized the importance and role of industrial social work and its necessity. The three themes analyzed are: industrial professionalism, holistic support, and organizational monitoring. The result of this research can be effective in explaining social work services in policies in the field of employee welfare in industrial companies.

This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the social dimensions of mourning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sources or statistical society of this research includes all the qualitative and quantitative research, published both in the Persian and in English, conducted on the social dimensions of mourning during the Covid-19 between December 2019 and May 2023. Based on the entry-exit criteria of the articles, 287 articles were obtained, and after searching, screening and qualitative evaluation of the studies, at the end of the final synthesis, 28 articles were selected. According to the findings of this research, 71.43% of the selected articles were done by qualitative methods and 28.57% by quantitative methodologies. The most used tool was the interview with which 60.71% of the articles had been done. Regarding the practical solutions and suggestions extracted from the studies, the highest frequently suggested approach was the emphasis on the necessity of developing a culture of condolence and virtual mourning and memorial ceremonies to support the survivors (32.14%). Also, the highest level in the distribution of categories was related to the category of disruption in the process of mourning rituals which was 21.43%. The results of this research show that people's reaction to bereavement during the Covid-19 pandemic is closely related to social and cultural aspects, and despite the importance of the social aspects of bereavement and health, more attention has been paid to its psychological and physical aspects.

The present study is a quantitative and survey research that has examined the relationship between physical activity, social isolation and depression among the elderly during the Covid-19 epidemic. The statistical population of the elderly (60 years and older) is in Ahvaz city, where 384 people were selected by simple random sampling. Also, the collected data were analytically analyzed using descriptive statistics and tests such as simple regression, correlation coefficients and path analysis using structural equation tests in the form of pls-smart3 and spss software. Based on the background and purpose of the study, it was found that there is no significant relationship between more physical activity and less depression in the elderly during the outbreak of Covid-19 disease. Also, more social isolation leads to more depression. For the method, the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, the Depression Scale for the Elderly, and the Promis social Isolation Scale were used. In this regard, path analysis was performed to assess the relationship between physical activity, social isolation, and depression. The results showed that out of 384 surveys conducted, according to the theoretical model of the research, higher social isolation had the highest impact factor on depression in the elderly (0.408). It was also found that the relationship between variables such as age and education with social isolation was not confirmed.

Today, the spread of dependency on drugs in the national and international scope imposes a lot of costs on governments, and it is essential to carry out social and research to reduce these costs. This research uses a structural perspective to answer the questions. What is the state of fighting against drug addiction in Iran? Furthermore, the research compares Iran with some other countries to reveal the weaknesses and strengths of fighting against drug addiction in Iran. The research has made use of the secondary analysis method. The written documents and the existing statistics available in international organizations have been employed to answer the questions. The findings were analyzed in four segments including comparing the situation of drug abuse in Iran and other countries, drug abuse and some indicators of human and welfare development, general policies in solving the problem of drug abuse in Iran and the world, and finally the dynamics of the drug market in the world. the research showed that drug abuse is increasing in Iran and the world, and psychedelics are dominant over drug abuse. In this path, policies based on fighting the reduction of supply and demand of drugs just increase the costs of drug addiction in society if they don’t consider strengthening the economic and social infrastructure of the society. Therefore, the policy-making experiences of countries with low drug abuse show that solving drug abuse requires culturalization and strengthening of the socio-economic foundation of the society. In other words, fighting against causes not effects.
