Information and communication technologies have influenced all social, organizational and individual spaces in human societies and have affected people's daily lifestyle, work and knowledge to different degrees. The study examined the relationship between the use of virtual social networks and youth lifestyles. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of research method. The statistical population consisted of the youth between the ages of 18-25 in Ardabil in 2017, which was 24,000 people. And 380 samples were selected using Morgan table by multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using the Ariani et al. (2015) social media questionnaire and the La'ali et al. (2012) youth lifestyle questionnaire. The results showed that there was a significant inverse relationship between virtual networks and youth lifestyles (physical health, exercising and health, weight and nutrition, disease prevention, psychological health, spiritual health, social health, drug avoidance and accident prevention). The regression results also showed that the social network variable predicts about 40% of lifestyle variance.

Iranians have long expressed their feelings in the form of poetry, words or writings, and considered poetic expression more eloquent and effective. There are many various themes including advice, humor, Romance, historical, societal, and so on in the relevant remnants.

This literature, as a cultural and national characteristic, has already taken on transnational dimensions and has attracted the attention of artists, writers and intellectuals through the world. The present study with a practical purpose, while understanding the necessity and importance of preserving this cultural heritage, examines the connection between Iranian poetic literature and this art by reviewing the unique features of animation. In this article, first, the literature and its Stylistic devices are defined; such as Personification, metaphor, symbol, etc. Then Based on the theoretical foundations of cinema and animation, favored samples were purposefully selected including "Zal and Simorgh", "Rostam and Esfandiar", "Wall and Water", "In the waves of the Indus River", "If spring does not come" and "Seven" City» from poetic animations taken from old and novel poetry, and they were analyzed. The main purpose of this article is how to use poetic literature in the expressive and structural style of animation.

The most important role of art directors is to interact between people involved in the art world and various organizations, as well as to ensure that the values of a work of art are achieved. But the approach of the artistic director in Iran, especially in the field of music, has faced many ups and downs. It seems that the main challenge of management in the field of music distribution is related to understanding the social reality of art. As the art directing is not considered with this approach, it is necessary to study music distribution management. The present study, which was conducted by a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative), has an exploratory nature. the dimensions and components of music distribution management were identified based on in-depth interviews and thematic analysis using the qualitative method. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to monitor the current situation and identify the most important components using the quantitatve method. The results showed that music distribution management had 4 dimensions and 19 components. Artists, audience, market and policy were identified as 4 dimensions of music distribution management. Important components in music distribution management were audience decoding patterns, the effects of the music business on the market, the government's cultural motivation, jurisprudential issues related to music, and undesirable art criticism.

The present study was conducted to identify the Upcoming Opportunities of the TV in the field of entertainment programs by usnigg this method. Entertainment plays a very important role in attracting the audience, culturalization and also generating income for the media and companies. In this study, first the drivers and key components of the system were extracted using the Schwartz model. Then, the scenario wizard software was used for structural analysis and to examine how the uncertainties affect each other and then extract the scenario opportunities. After that, 3 compatible and probable scenarios related to the future of entertainment on TV- including the protective scenario, the adopting scenario and the evolution scenario - were extracted and described. Finally, after presenting each scenario, strategic advice on the future of television entertainment is provided to relevant managers and policymakers by summarizing the findings in the expert panels.

This study was conducted to determine the relationship between problematic cell-phone use (PCU) and loneliness, mediated by adolescent time management. The statistical population included all high school students in the second year of Rasht city in the 2018-2017 academic year from which 330 adolescents were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected by The PCU, loneliness and time management questionnaires. the hypotheses were tested by using structural equation modeling technique with AMOS-20 software program. Also the mediating effects were tested by using The Bootstrap approach with the bootstrap procedure in Preacher and Hayes (2008) Macro program. The results showed that there was a direct and significant correlation between PCU and loneliness. The direct effect of PCU on time management was significant. the effect of PCU on loneliness was decreased with the mediating of time management. These results suggest that achieving acceptable levels of time management skills can have protective effects against the feeling of loneliness caused by the harmful use of mobile phones for adolescents.
