Introduction Health is not essentially a biological concept and instead, it includes the socio-psychological aspects. Moreover, health is not a personal theme and it is rooted in the structure of the society. There is valid evidence that social determinants of health have a great effect on physical health. Based on some estimation, almost half of people’ s health is determined by the social factors like, poverty, literate, housing, occupation, and respecting the women rights, and the other half is due to the health system, genetic issues, and the environment. Diabetes as a metabolic disease that results from disorder in insulin leakage, insulin function, or both has been rapidly increasing during the past several decades and now, it is becoming a public health problem all over the world. The outbreak of diabetes was 285 million in 2010, this rate reached 371 million in 2012, and it is predicted that it will reach 552 million by 2030. Based on the evidence, the epidemic of diabetes in Iran is high and around 7 million people are infected to diabetes in this country. The rapid increase of diabetes has a close relation with social factors. In this regard, it could have a close connection with the social capitals. It is assumed that social spaces including participation and trust through social support, awareness and sensitivity, facilitate the health or create it as well. In fact, social capital can raise health through providing social support, self-esteem, and mutual respect. On the other hand, it is believed that people who have cultural capital are equipped with a set of knowledge and cognitive skills, which prevent them committing high risk behaviors. Finally, economic capital gives people the possibility to provide their basic needs like food and house, cope with the problems that bring about less stress, and have more access to health and therapy. As a whole, it seems that social, cultural and economic capitals are able to influence diabetes. Given that, this relationship has been rarely studied, the main purpose of this research is to investigate whether the social, cultural, and economic capitals affect physical health (diabetes)...

Introduction The establishment of hospitals caused many people with different medical profession start working there. But, nurses always received less attention. When it comes to healthcare in hospitals, the community of nurses are taken into consideration. In most of medical institution, nursing department is one of the largest part and nursing staffs make up 40 to 60 percent of all human resources. In hierarchy of hospital class the community of nurses may get exposed to heavy pressure that refers to the system of the hospital, the patients, and their companies. This pressure may cause dissatisfaction. Besides the dissatisfaction, this pressure causes this community feel exhausted in hospitals. Many studies proved that job stress, dissatisfaction and burnout are common among nursing experts. For this reasons, among all hospital staffs, nurses need to be empowered to be effective for patients, doctors and the other health care experts along with for themselves. As usual, powerless nurses are those who are not effective in hierarchy of hospital class. Powerless nurses most of the time are dissatisfied about their career and also Prone to burnout.

Introduction: Generational object is a phenomenon related to the epistemic system of generations which differs from one generation to another due to rapid changes and fresh contacts of each generation to emerging phenomena. The introduction and expansion of mass and social media in the recent history of the country and how various social groups have dealt with it, along with the restrictions imposed on these technologies by the state, have been such that the emergence of the media has become a form of historical fact and remained in the memory of those generations. So, these facts can be considered as one of the most important events that, as Mannheim puts it as the "fresh contact" with new objects for generations in which periods were continually entering the cultural stream of society, and it can be claimed that each of these media are generational objects. Although Mannheim has spoken of socio-historical events as a generational object, he refuses to empirically identify them. Christopher Bollas frequently refers to instances of generational objects and considers generations to be a set of human beings that share generational objects. In his view, these objects are explainers of the individual's generation, and remembering them generates a sense of his generation in his mind. Bollas begins his essay by mentioning some of the famous authors' biographies and mentions Kim Newman's generational object as "television and later horror videos and movies". Therefore, he is one of the first who introduces the media as a generational object. In the sociology of media, recently, the concept of generation has been widely discussed, with some scholars discussing the approach of the media generation. For these researchers, generational identity formation is linked to media technologies at two levels: First, media experience in the years of identity formation through media consumption culture; second, representations made through media produced works help to define a particular generation's identity and sense of belonging to a particular generation. The purpose of the present study is to describe and explain the intergenerational differences in media use and to investigate whether media can be considered as an object for different generations. To this end, by the use of Mannheim and Bollas's theories, as well as the theory of use and gratification, and the theory of displacement and complementarity effects of media, it is explained whether there is a difference between generations in terms of media consumption...

There has been little agreement on the nature of love. Love is influenced by different social conditions and the type of dominant lifestyle of each era defines its nature.
