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.

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.

Migration is not always associated with a purely positive result and has various consequences. The purpose of this research was to Evaluation the psychosocial challenges of Afghan immigrant adolescents living in Rafsanjan. In the spring of 1402, 14 people from this group, who had lived in Rafsanjan for at least two years, were selected by purposeful sampling. The method of this research was descriptive phenomenology and data were obtained using semi-structured interviews and 2 final interviews were conducted to ensure data saturation. The content of the interview was coded with the seven-step method of Claysey. And finally, 72 sub-themes and 17 main themes were extracted and these items were placed in five core themes "psychological problems, cultural-communication challenges, job challenges, problems related to lifestyle change and family challenges". The findings of the present study showed that the hardships of the immigration process, along with bad memories and the challenges of adapting to the new culture in this age range, made adolescents vulnerable to mental health problems and social harms. Therefore, in order to have healthy and empathetic people, our society should have more cultural acceptance of this group and mental health services should be provided according to them.

Environmental destruction and climate change are the source of the most important threats to human health, access to vital resources and basic human rights. Social work as a profession rooted in human rights and social justice can play an important role in human rights and social and environmental justice issues. From this point of view, during the last few decades outside of Iran, a change of discourse in social work has taken place and social workers have presented significant works and activities in both theoretical and practical fields in relation to the environment and sustainable development. In this study, with the aim of understanding the extent and nature of social work literature in relation to environmental issues and sustainable development in the field of theorizing and practical interventions, the important works of this field between 2000 and 2023 were systematically reviewed. The data of these articles were extracted in two parts: theoretical approaches and practical interventions of social work in environmental issues and sustainable development. Various conceptualizations and approaches, such as eco social approach, green social work, deep ecological work, and the like, show conceptual inflation in the epistemological field of the relationship between social work and the environment. In the methodological field, social workers, with regard to environmental issues and sustainable development, directly or indirectly carry out activities such as promoting environmental justice, developing social and technical infrastructure, assessing social impacts, participating and organizing people, educating and raising environmental awareness and literacy have been carried out.
