The present research highlights the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis on the entire population. However, greater signs of stress and inadequate self-management of children's emotions have been reported during childhood. This study aimed to design and implement an educational intervention titled "A Dragon with 19 Flying Wisps," targeting preschool students with typical and non-typical development. The ultimate goal was to promote students' mental health, help them manage their emotions during the pandemic, and support their overall development. The ethnographic method was employed, allowing for data collection through various means and facilitating multi-level data exchange and interaction. The study sample included 210 students, with 159 exhibiting typical development and 51 attending special schools or inclusion classes. The intervention yielded several positive outcomes, including student engagement, the tool adaptation into an inclusive resource for students with disabilities, the incorporation of new technologies, the academic advancement of schools, and the creation of a more supportive environment for managing pandemic-related challenges and students' emotions effectively. In conclusion, the intervention successfully achieved its goals and sparked interest from other schools, leading to its expansion beyond the initial implementation. This positive response can be attributed to the intervention's design and the chosen research methodology.

Adaptability in teenagers as the most important sign of their mental health is one of the topics that has attracted the attention of many sociologists, psychologists and educators in recent decades. Social growth is the most important aspect of the growth of every person's existence, and the criterion for measuring the social growth of everyone is his compatibility with others. Adaptation, like physical, emotional and mental growth, is a continuous quantity and it gradually reaches perfection and is achieved naturally during life and in dealing with experiences. In other words, with the passing of childhood and entering adolescence, psycho-social development changes from a simple transformation to a profound and qualitative transformation, and by using social skills, a teenager can find his place among social interactions and relationships with peers and find adults and be socially accepted. Success in social acceptance leads to adaptability and may bring a person to the stage of social influence, which is a higher level than social acceptance, and at this stage, he can influence those around him. In the definition of compatibility, it can be said that compatibility means the relationship that exists between a person and his environment, especially the social environment, and enables him to respond to his needs and motivations.

Choosing the right teaching method is one of the most effective measures that a teacher should take in order to increase the efficiency of his class. While even in today's modern educational world, many teachers and even university professors rely on the same traditional teacher-centered methods. New teaching methods are progressing and becoming more complete every day, and many researches are conducted by educational institutions in this field. With the advent of technology and the phenomenon of online education in the last two decades, the types of teaching methods have become even more diverse than at the end of the 20th century. One of the characteristics of a capable teacher is his correct recognition of how to present the lesson and how to present the material. A capable and successful teacher in a private class, by asking questions of his students, determines the level of literacy and previous knowledge of the students and their ability to learn the material, and teaches the material accordingly. Highly capable teachers know that students will not learn well if they only talk to themselves in the classroom. A successful teacher's teaching method is very flexible and depends on the student or students in the class. Students in the primary and first secondary level may be influenced by the teacher as much as their own parents. Correct and respectful behavior of teachers and university professors will provide a very good environment for learning in the classroom.

The purpose of this study is to explore the student perceptions of women's presidency within the Forum for National and International Awareness (FINA), which is the highest student governing body at Sherubtse College. This research will help to clarify the existing structure of the president at Sherubtse College. A purposeful non-random sampling strategy will be used to collect and analyze data, with a total of six selected students. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted using Facebook Messenger as the medium for data collection. While taking notes, the replies will be captured using Messenger's Audio function. The captured data will be meticulously analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and selective coding approaches. The existence of discrimination within students' views towards voting a woman president for FINA is expected to be determined through this extensive investigation. Furthermore, the study intends to offer insight on how common conventional views about women's inadequacy in leadership roles influence students' decision-making mentality, particularly when it comes to choose women to the leadership positions.

Based on classical and neoclassical economic theories, efficiency has a direct relationship with risk, and considering that the purpose of forming companies is to obtain more efficiency, therefore risk-taking is in the essence of the corporate system. On the other hand, companies should apply a reasonable level of risk-taking in order to insure themselves against damages caused by unreasonable risk-taking. The risk tolerance of companies is influenced by various factors. The current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of voluntary disclosure of information on risk taking, considering the moderating role of managerial ownership. For this purpose, research hypotheses were tested by collecting information from 125 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 2015 to 2021 and using the multivariable regression method. This research was applied from the point of view of the objective and the method of analysis was descriptive-correlation. The findings of the research showed that the level of voluntary disclosure of information has a positive and significant effect on the company's risk-taking. Also, the results of the research indicate that managerial ownership has strengthened the positive effect of the level of voluntary disclosure of information on the company's risk-taking.

The results of the research showed that there is a direct relationship between the tendencies to risky behavior based on the religious attitude. The tendency to risky behavior based on religious attitude has an indirect relationship with the mediation of time perspective. The results of this research with Shokri et al. (2015), Amiri et al. (2016), Malakoti et al. (2017), Najarian Toosi, Talebian Sharif, Abd Khodaei (2019), Reininger (2005) are consistent. Risky behaviors are behaviors that endanger the health and well-being of teenagers and young people. Based on this, risky behaviors are divided into two groups, the first group includes behaviors that endanger the health of the individual, and the second group includes behaviors that threaten the health and well-being of other members of society. Therefore, since the level of vulnerability of teenagers and young people is higher compared to other age groups, there is a greater tendency towards this type of behavior. No society can claim health if it does not have healthy families. There is no doubt that none of the social harms are independent of the influence of the family. The family is the most basic institution for socializing children, especially in the early critical years of life. Under the right conditions, the family prepares children to realize their potential and to assume useful roles in society as adults. In the process of socialization in the family, children learn their parents' actions, imitation and imitation, which are the most important ways of transmitting social values, norms and traditions. Most psychologists, regardless of the school they believe in, consider interactions between parents and their children as the basis of emotional development. Parents' interactions with their children and their parenting methods are factors related to high-risk behaviors.

The literature consistently emphasizes the significance of primary formal education in addressing social inequalities, fostering inclusivity, reducing stereotypes, and promoting critical thinking regarding discrimination, violence, and prejudice. However, the lack of specialized undergraduate studies for teachers raises questions about their cultural competence and their ability to effectively teach and cultivate appropriate attitudes and values. This research aimed to evaluate the cultural competence skills of preschool teachers, explore social inequalities, and develop an intervention plan. A quantitative study was conducted, involving the translation and validation of a cultural competence measurement scale, which was then administered to preschool teachers. The survey included 532 participants, consisting of 500 women and 32 men, with 27 individuals having received training or postgraduate specialization in intercultural education. Data analysis was performed using SPSS (v. 28). The study revealed that teachers possess a high level of knowledge in cultural matters and demonstrate good cultural awareness; however, their cultural abilities are limited. The survey results provide valuable insights for ongoing intervention design. In conclusion, while preschool teachers exhibit satisfactory theoretical knowledge of cultural work, weaknesses are identified in the acquisition of skills, attitudes, and behaviors.
