In this research, a survey method and researcher-made questionnaire were used and the reliability of the questionnaire components was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The statistical population of this study is two groups of females headed households under 60 years of age. The first group includes women who are covered by the Relief Committee and remain in poverty and the second group includes women who have already been poor and are currently self-sufficient. Sampling was done randomly and the sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula and 938 persons were determined. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. The results of statistical tests show that the individual characteristics of female households (self-esteem, social status, literacy, entrepreneurial characteristics and good management) between women's groups are out of poverty and the women's group in the poor is significantly different. Also, among the individual characteristics of individuals, "individual good management" has had a higher priority. The findings of the research show that the lifestyle of women headed by the family leads to the loss of family poverty and Poor lifestyles cause people to survive in poverty and ultimately become trapped in social harm.

Before Iran Revolution, the formation of farming joint stock companies had aimed to change the structures of agriculture section. On that time, it failed. In recent two decades, it can be witnessed that resuscitation and creation of F. J. S companies have been brought to attention; one example is the formation of a F. J. S Company in SahlAbad Plain. Study of this F. J. S in SahlAbad, shows a lot of ups and downs in the rural area and this article tries to study the reasons of villagers' tendency to joint stock system, meanwhile it aims to analyze different causes of people's conflicts aiming at this farming system. Studies showed that villagers in SahlAbad Plain cooperated to a great extent to accept F. J. S Company and their objective was to receive more economic benefits from water and soil resources that are under their authority. After more than a decade of the life of F. J. S company in SahlAbad Plain, while there are not any progresses in their objectives, new problems in rural area have become more apparent which are caused by "the low level of company's economic returns", "unprincipled performance of company's board", "addition of outer elements that have effect on company's economic performance and economic life of stockholders", and “ no appropriate support by trusted systems". Consequently, change of Small Holding System to farming joint stock system by the above-mentioned reasons not only was not a progressive movement toward development but also it had created some negative atmosphere for rural development in SahlAbad Plain.

Arabkhaneh, a rural destrict of Nehbandan and located in South Khorasan, is among the first residence of the Arabs immigrated to Iran. Due to the distance from its actual source and adjacency with Iranian culture, the language of this region is considerably influenced by Farsi. This impact takes place on four levels: syntactic, phoneme, phonetic and semantic, with the most impact on phoneme (structure). In this article, the authors compare the structure of interrogative sentences in standard Farsi with standard Arabic. The field data has been gathered from Khosroabad Arabkhaneh village and then analyzed and compared using typology approaches and frameworks. The results showed resemblance in the order of the elements of an interrogative sentences and words and relocation of them. Nonetheless, since the interrogative sentences in Farsi, Arabkhaneh dialect and standard Arabic have some resemblance, it could not be hypothesized that the number of interrogatives in Arabkhaneh dialect has been influenced by Farsi.
