The objective of this research is to evaluate SOCIAL MOBILITY from the perspective of marriage among the families residing in Tehran. The present research work specifically seeks to answer the following questions: Are marriages traditional or modern in Tehran? How is the spouse selected in Iran? Have married couples selected their spouses from their own SOCIAL group or from other SOCIAL groups? Based on the current spouse selection pattern, are men or women more likely to exit their SOCIAL group? Which variables govern one’s upgrading his/her SOCIAL group? All couples living in Tehran constituted the statistical population of the study. Based on Cronbach's alpha, a sample of 380 was selected, from among whom 357 questionnaires were collected and finally analyzed. The results indicated that people tend to leave their SOCIAL group in the marriage process and men tend to follow an upgrading choice more than women. Meanwhile, variables such as education level, income level and the type of job are male enhancement factors. In spouse selection, acquired traits, the family, and ultimately traditional values are high on the list of priorities.

Efficient distribution of service requests between fog and cloud nodes considering user MOBILITY and fog nodes’ overload is an important issue of fog computing. This paper proposes a heuristic method for task placement considering the MOBILITY of users, aiming to serve a higher number of requested services and minimize their response time. This method introduces a formula to overload prediction based on the entry-exit ratio of users and the estimated time required to perform current requests that are waiting in the queue of a fog node. Then, it provides a solution to avoid the predicted overloading of fog nodes by sending all delay-tolerant requests in the overloaded fog node’s queue to the cloud to reduce the time required for servicing delay-sensitive requests and to increase their acceptance rate. In addition, to prevent requests from being rejected when the mobile user leaves the coverage area of the current fog node, the requests in the current fog node’s queue will be transferred to the destination fog node. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method is effective in avoiding the overloading of the fog nodes and outperforms the existing methods in terms of response time and acceptance rate.

Rural reforms have been an important part of the post-revolutionary government ‎policy. The government implemented various rural development programs to develop ‎rural areas-mostly with an ideologically populist and egalitarian oriented character. ‎Development policies in general and rural reforms in particular are considered as a ‎major process towards weakening the rigidity of rural SOCIAL structure and producing a ‎number of positions and openness circumstances. This paper explores the impact of ‎the post-revolutionary rural programs on the occupational MOBILITY of rural people ‎after the revolution through using ex-post-facto comparative methods in a selected ‎number of villages. It concludes that the MOBILITY tended to be higher in the villages ‎that received the most rural programs than those which received fewer or no ‎programs. There was a higher inclination to self-recruitment in intra generational ‎MOBILITY compared with intra-generational MOBILITY. Most of the observed MOBILITY, ‎both upward and downward, was short range and oriented towards the adjacent ‎category‏.‏

The study of SOCIAL MOBILITY is part of urban studies. Iranian sociological investigations do not reflect much about the problem of women’s SOCIAL MOBILITY; while understanding the dynamics of women’s MOBILITY and its extent can help in planning and policy-making within the framework of SOCIAL studies. The present research probes into women’s inter-generation SOCIAL MOBILITY in an Iranian urban setting: that of the city of Tehran. This research measures girls’ inter-generation SOCIAL MOBILITY (the new generation), as compared to that of their mothers, by considering indices such as level of education, number of children, age of marriage, status of job, and the choice in spouse selection. Moreover, factors influencing inter-generation SOCIAL MOBILITY have also been analyzed and assessed. The findings show that the girls under the study (sample population) had greater upward inter-generation SOCIAL MOBILITY, as compared with their mothers. This is demonstrated by a comparison of values of indices of inter-generation SOCIAL MOBILITY with the earlier generations. This comparison indicated an increasing upward tendency. Among factors influencing such a tendency, the parents’ income was of paramount importance, within other independent variables. Whereas, so much as their grand mothers were concerned, the same importance was attached to the age of marriage.  

The present research aims to examine the SOCIAL factors influencing intergeneration SOCIAL MOBILITY in the city of Kermanshah. By MOBILITY, we mean intergeneration MOBILITY data about which was obtained through survey method. The research sample consisted of 300 subjects selected through stratified sampling method and via questionnaire and interview. The MOBILITY index refers to the difference between a child’s occupational status compared to his father. Based on this index, 18.7% of the respondents had demonstrated ascending MOBILITY, 25.7% had demonstrated horizontal MOBILITY, and 29.7% had demonstrated descending MOBILITY, with the remaining 26% demonstrating no MOBILITY at all. Overall, the results showed a positive correlation between the cultural capital variable and the dependent variable, thus contributing to SOCIAL MOBILITY. However, the fatalism variable showed a negative correlation with the dependent variable, reducing the impact on intergenerational SOCIAL MOBILITY. Furthermore, according to the results obtained from the multivariate regression test, about 14% of changes in the dependent variable could be explained by the independent and background variables.

SOCIAL MOBILITY is an important subject in the SOCIAL domain and has been the focus of considerable investigation among scholars as it entails significant consequences both on macro and micro levels. Therefore, this essay aims for a sociological explanation of SOCIAL capital’ s contribution in shaping SOCIAL MOBILITY. The research method is survey while questionnaires are used as a means of data collection. The statistical population consists of Shirazi citizens of 25 years of age and older, of whom 395 persons are selected using the Cochran's formula. Bourdieu's theory is used to study the effects of SOCIAL capital on SOCIAL MOBILITY. Accordingly, SOCIAL capital is examined across three dimensions: SOCIAL trust, SOCIAL participation and collective cohesion. Our results indicate that the mean SOCIAL MOBILITY among the sample population is less than average (1. 75). Also, among the average components of SOCIAL capital, SOCIAL trust ranks lowest (2. 06). There is a significant and positive correlation between SOCIAL capital and SOCIAL MOBILITY. In terms of SOCIAL capital’ s dimensions, there exists a significant and positive correlation between SOCIAL trust and collective cohesion with SOCIAL MOBILITY, whereas no significant correlation between SOCIAL participation and SOCIAL MOBILITY is detected. As for personal variables, there is a significant relationship between age, education, activity status, residential area and SOCIAL MOBILITY. The r2 value shows that 47% of the variations in SOCIAL MOBILITY can be explained by the independent variables entered in the analysis.

The aim of this paper is to study the SOCIAL classes and status MOBILITY in Bushehr city and urban areas of Pars province. The random sampling of urban areas of Pars province and selection of Bushehr city in southern part of Iran provides us the possibility of comparative study. A sample size of 1835 selected randomly among the active population. Then the SOCIAL classes were studied based on indicators as economical, organizational and specialization power.The SOCIAL MOBILITY including intergenerational and intra-generational MOBILITY (downward and upward MOBILITY) was studied. The finding illustrates that during the last half century our urban society has undergo a profound occupational MOBILITY. Two effecting factors were education and changing occupational structure in new society. Classes and SOCIAL stratification has also undergone profound changes, but class MOBILITY did not occur as feasible as occupational MOBILITY. The wealth and the organizational power are two pillars of SOCIAL classes.Access to these resources is not as easy as access to education and official degree. The SOCIAL class and MOBILITY are different in Pars urban areas and the city of Bushehr. In terms of SOCIAL MOBILITY Bushehr is a more closed society than the Pars urban areas like Abadeh and Kazeron.

The ethical actions are important because of the priority of the mission goal and their close relationship with SOCIAL progress and development. Therefore, the purpose of this research is the identification and SOCIAL analysis of these types of actions among the verses of revelation and it deals with the effect of ethical actions in the production of SOCIAL capital in the process of progress based on religious teachings and answers these questions based on the Quranic teachings. What impact do ethical actions (behavior) have on the formation of SOCIAL progress? How do moral actions generate SOCIAL capital and influence progress (development)? What coordinates, examples and dimensions does this group of actions have? What are the effects and consequences of this group of actions? Those actions that are desirable and progressive in the development of SOCIAL interactions have been SOCIALly studied, analyzed and searched by using the inductive content analysis method. Honesty, trustworthiness and fulfillment of an obligation, altruism (Arabic: إیثار, self-sacrifice), asking forgiveness or istighfār (Arabic: استغفار ʾistiġfār), and forgiving others, kindness, non-violence, chastity and purity, patience and honesty and benevolent actions combined with SOCIAL supervision have been discussed, which lead to sincerity, togetherness, coherence and expansion of SOCIAL interactions and emotional relationships far from hatred and warm and emotional relationships and as a result, it causes the production of SOCIAL capital and its improvement and will lead to the density of actions focused on purpose and excellence that are necessary for progress.
