From the Naseri period until now, the body has always been the place of disputes, conflicts and competition between social groups, political parties and different discourses in Iran. Despite this, studies of the body in general and the study of the relationship between the political system and the body in Iran in particular is a nascent field that has not received serious attention from academic circles in Iran. The current research is a systematic review of the researches conducted in this field during the last two decades. Such a study, in addition to providing an analysis of the approaches, methods, issues, and findings of these studies, and reviewing the weaknesses and strengths of the existing research, can reveal the neglected spaces and fields. In this area, identify and lead to a deeper understanding of the issue of the body as a social and political construct in Iranian modernity. Therefore, relying on the analysis of the content and themes of the sources reviewed in this article, we are looking for a systematic analysis of the problem analysis, theoretical and methodological foundations of the existing studies. The research findings show; Most of these researches show the dominant influence of the researches from the culture policy approach and attitudes and positions related to it. Also, the role of the body in the formation process of the modern nation state, as well as cultural, historical and social gaps in Iran is the most important issue that researchers have addressed.

As an interdisciplinary subject, the study of the environment requires an integrated approach. As a matter of fact, a number of thinkers in this field have used the constructivist approach to study the environmental issues because this emphasizes the role of social factors along with technical and ecological ones in explaining them. With a transtheroretical approach, the aim of the present article is to study the constructivist-interpretative paradigm and determine its cognitive aspects as well as provide a model to study the environmental issues. The paper uses Ritzer's meta-theorizing as a tool to achieve the aforementioned goals. The findings of the study of the intellectual evolution of the constructivism paradigm in classical and contemporary thoughts show that the philosophical foundation of this paradigm is intertwined in the thought of philosophers who emphasize the study of interactions between objects and subjects. This school of sociology is based on the theories of Schutz, Weber, Heidegger, Berger and Luckmann, who studied interactions and social contexts. In the sociological domain, for social issues, specifically environment, thinkers such as Spector and Kitsuse, Loseke, Hannigan, and Yearley used the constructivist perspective to study the discovery, emergence and success of these issues. With the formation of absolute and textual schools in constructivism, this approach turns from pure subjectivism to simply objective and subjective factors. As such, many other thinkers with an integrated insight pointed to multiple levels of social realities as mentioned by Ritzer. The results show that the connection and interaction of environmental issues at principal levels of the paradigmatic model of environmental realities in the constructivist-interpretive theory.

Historical-cultural places carry a significance that extends beyond their physical attributes; they embody social relationships and values that are key to defining their meaning. Considering this, they require conservation alongside attention to interdisciplinary approaches. Meanwhile, a major obstacle to meaning-based conservation is the communication gap and conflict of interest among various beneficiaries, indicating a lack of social capital regarding conservation. This article aims to shed light on the process of utilizing social capital as an interdisciplinary phenomenon that can effectively preserve historical and cultural places. The study was done using a descriptive-analytical approach based on library and documentary sources. The findings reveal that the untapped communicative potential of historical and cultural places can be utilized to enhance social structures and reinforce social capital for the purpose of conservation. This method is achievable in urban neighborhoods and when interdisciplinary techniques are applied. In line with the proposed framework, improving the cognitive component of social capital and the network of shared environmental meanings, which includes emotional, cultural, social, and functional categories, results in the development and progression of social values. These include a sense of belonging, commitment, cooperation, and influence, all of which have the potential to stimulate social capital for conservation and cyclically enhance the place-based communication context. In this respect, actions such as promoting cultural awareness, preserving the sensory appeal and memorable aspects of the environment, upholding traditions, enhancing the quality of spaces for social interaction, and supporting local businesses are compulsory.

The current research aimed to investigate the causes of hypocritical behavior and provide a model to rectify it by focusing on the function of boundary actors in education. This research has been done with a critical paradigm and qualitative approach. Since management works with and through others, the lived experience and knowledge of experts in various fields of human sciences, including psychology and sociology, philosophy, history, jurisprudence, religious sciences, language and literature, and ethics have been used. The data was transcribed, and using the thematic analysis method, sampling, and coding continued until the theoretical sufficiency (saturation) was reached. As a result, two axial themes for the causes of hypocritical behavior under the names of social structure with the categories of (organizational monopoly, authoritarian thinking of some managers, traditional management of some managers, stubbornness of some managers, instrumental use of religious beliefs and feeling of injustice by some people) and the action or behavior of people with the categories of (not dealing with hypocritical behavior, denial of individuality and historical contexts) have appeared.
Considering the requirements and limitations of the education system and the priority of addressing educational issues, the contribution of this research is the central theme of boundary actors, with the categories of (moral education, psychology education, human rights values, foundation building, civic action, social capital restoration, knowledge management and the principle of meritocracy) was manifested in giving importance to philosophical topics and critical thinking methods, teaching ethics and teaching human rights principles and provided solutions.
