Post-Television, as a result of media convergence, does not mean the death of Television but it can be understood as the restructure of Television production, distribution and consumption modes. Media convergence as a structural change threatens broadcasting institutions and Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), as a state-owned broadcaster with monopolistic position, faces more challenges. Through a face-to-face, in-depth interviews, this study shows, IRIB recognizes the potential and challenges of new environment and puts suitable activities on its agenda include launching Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), establishing new channels, upgrading some channels to HD, using Satellite for signal distribution at national level and initiating some regional and global satellite Television channel in English, Arabic, and Spanish. There is a variety of critiques to these activities: a Technophilia approach affects IRIB plans; in absence of a market system, IRIB have to rely on insufficient command system and finally, national security is main drive of IRIB development.

Purpose: The flourishing of political parties and currents is one of the signs of the degree of development in societies. In contemporary Iran and since the formation of the constitutional movement, political currents have gone through many ups and downs and it can be said that political currents in Iran after the Islamic Revolution have not yet reached the stage of institutionalization and stability. A characteristic feature of political currents in Iran is the divergence and division among political currents in recent decades, and this can be one of the reasons for the instability and cross-sectional and seasonal activity of political parties in Iran. Therefore, the necessity of leading research seeks to answer the question of how factors and divergence among political currents in Iran after the victory of the Islamic Revolution can be analyzed? And what are the scenarios for the advancement of political currents in Iran?Method: To answer this question, the method of causal-layer analysis, which is one of the qualitative methods in futures research, has been used.Findings: The research findings indicate that this divergence is due to a wide range of reasons from the level of causal systems (from the institutionalization of power to the formation of parties as elitist initiatives), worldview and discourse (from charismatic political authority to culture). Subsidiary-follower politics to myth-metaphor (Iranian individualism to belief in a strong state-weak society) can be analyzed.Conclusions: Three scenarios for the future of Iranian political currents can be considered: integration of currents as the security valve of the political system, the collapse of political currents in the traditional form, integration and consolidation in new social movements (virtualized parties).

The lack of Quranic approaches in the production of Quran-based humanities is still felt, despite the predominance of the philosophical approach in critical approaches to modern humanities, which has become very common in the Islamic world and in Iran for several decades. It seems that the capacity of the method of thematic exegesis (al-Tafsīr al-mawdū'ī, Arabic: التفسیر الموضوعیّ) in this regard, can be used to bring the Holy Quran into the field of humanities. Thematic exegesis, according to whether its subject is inside or outside the Qur'an, has several functions in criticizing the structure of modern knowledge and scientific research, as well as the production of Islamic humanities. It is possible to make use of thematic exegesis of the inside of the Holy Book of Quran in order to “fundamental criticism” of the general fundamentals of humanities -the fundamentals of epistemology, axiology, ontology and anthropology- and it is also possible to use thematic exegesis for constructing and producing foundation of humanities obtained from the Holy Quran. It is used by thematic interpretation exegesis of the outside of the Holy Book of Quran -such as Shahīd (martyr) Sadr’s interrogational approach- to answer the problems of humanities and this process faces challenges such as the complexity and multiplicity of the “subject” of the humanities that exist in modern terminology of this field. It can be used in order to solve this issue in some cases to know the process of the change of the components of the modern of the conceptual history’s approach and also by analyzing the issue into several components can be shown that the components are not necessarily a product of the modern era and can be followed up in the Holy Quran and can be found up in the Holy Quran. The perspective of the Holy Quran, after that, regarding the modern subject in the desired field by the “combining” of the results obtained based on the thematic interpretation.

Purpose:The lack of certainties in media policies has caused the quality of entertainment to not have a consistent approach. Ambiguities and multiplicity have challenged the development of entertainment.Therefore, it is necessary to identify the media policy to improve the quality of entertainment on Television. Researches and lived experience of the researcher show no research has been done so far. Are the existing policies enough indicators to determine the real missions of the media? what is the answer to the appropriate policies to improve the quality of entertainment on Television, the main goal and question and the concept of entertainment in upstream documents? The secondary questions are;what are the strengths and weaknesses of Television programs in the field of entertainment? Method: document study, analysis and extraction of results with thematic analysis method and semi-structured in-depth interview with targeted sampling method were conducted with15 educated people inside and outside the organization, program makers and national media managers.Findings:The lack of local theorizing and policy-making in accordance with the real goals of the media, disregarding the diverse tastes and needs of the audience,stubborn and tasteful treatment of laws and structures, etc. causes the loss of the media's position in society and a serious threat that changes the approach and it can be turned into an opportunity.Results:The late adoption of changes imposes high costs on the national media and reduces the audience's favor and the loss of new markets in the age of new media. Understanding, analyzing the space and actual media policies at that time can be used to increase the development and the capabilities of media policies to improve the quality of entertainment on IRIB TV Due to the rapid development process of the entertainment industry, the national media can follow the policies of "continuous self-repair"and information correction for its survival.

This paper examines in detail the little-known Friday Mosque (masjid-i jāmi‘) of Firdaus, located southwest of the Khurasan, which has had a key role in developing Saljuq architecture in the area. The original scheme of the mosque was unclear. The lofty īwān and two flanking dome chambers on the west (qibla) side of the courtyard are the central core of the mosque. The main aim of the article is to analyse the architecture of the mosque and demonstrate its association with the architectural style of the Saljuq mosque in the Khurasan area.  During the conservation and restoration measures in 2006, some fresh materials were unearthed. The new findings shed light on the original features of the mosque and revealed its formation. The paper describes the city's history, defines its architectural characteristics, and then analyses the present information for replying to the research questions. Owing to the outcomes of the archaeological investigation, the study suggests the general scheme of the mosque as a further example of the two- īwān mosque, which may be dated to the late years of the 6th /12th century. Despite the importance of the mosque, no lengthy study has been published about the building. The accurate drawing of the plan and sections of this monument, with the proposal scheme for the reconstruction of the mosque, are being published in this paper for the first time.

The importance of female heads of households in providing the basic needs of household members on the one hand and the limitations they face in most socio-economic fields have made it necessary to pay attention to the issues of female heads of households in most societies including our country. The purpose of this study is to use the systematic review method to review and evaluate the policy proposals that have been proposed in Iran for women heads of households. A total of 296 articles and 5 reports were identified. In the review and eligibility phase, the total number of selected texts was considered to be 79 texts, of which 62 studies used the quantitative method and 17 studies used the qualitative method. Based on the studies that proposed policy proposals, the characteristics of female heads of the household, the axes of vulnerability, the evaluation of policies and proposals were determined. The findings showed that more policy proposals were made based on the characteristics of low literacy, being unemployed, and being middle-aged. Based on the axes of vulnerability, women heads of households are more vulnerable psychologically and socially than they are materially vulnerable in many cases. The evaluation of policies for women heads of households showed that the most interventions for the empowerment of women heads of households were focused on the economic field and were mainly pursued in the form of financial payments and did not pay enough attention to other aspects of women's empowerment, while the empowerment of women heads of households was successful when It is expected to simultaneously pay attention to their mental health and improve their social and economic status.
