The covid-19 pandemic has affected various areas of everyday life, especially young people. Many students studying abroad feel like they have been excluded in a foreign country and are fighting with their independence and fears at the same time. This research study aimed at conducting an ethnographic research on the experiences of students who were studying abroad during the pandemic. The research sample was consisted of 27 students from Greece who study in Cyprus. For the researchers' data collection; we used semi-structured interviews, in-depth discussions, and participatory observation. The main result of the study was the emotional surcharge to the individuals who felt excluded due to studying abroad. Students were forced to stay in the foreign country where they were studying with no support from the government. According to them, this fact revealed the lack of political will to consider their needs and their cultural background in order to design any support.

The aim of this research study was to assess the relationship between attribution style and academic achievement of high school students in Ilam with the moderating role of emotional intelligence and socio-economic class. This research is applied and descriptive-correlational. The study population includes male and female high school students in Ilam, who, according to the education statistics of Ilam city, are 8533 people. The number of samples required for this study is estimated at 368 based on Krejcie and Morgan table, which were selected from the community by multi-stage cluster sampling. In this scrutiny, the standard questionnaires of Patterson's (1982) attribution styles, Bar-On emotional intelligence, economic status of power (2013) and the second-semester average were used to measure academic performance. The research data were analyzed by using SPSS-version 22 software method. The results indicated that among the various dimensions of attribution styles, internal /external style in unpleasant situations is negatively correlated with academic achievement. General/specific attribution style in pleasant situations is positively correlated with academic achievement, and these styles can predict students' academic performance. The emotional intelligence variable strengthened the correlation between attribution style and academic achievement. However, the effect of economic status on the relationship between attribution style and performance was not significant.

The proposed study investigates the relationship between memory and students' language learning through thematic analysis. Library resources and related articles were utilized for this research. The results indicated that language learners with strong short-term visual and written memories have an excellent performance in learning vocabulary with appendices. Learners with strong visual short-term memory but poor verbal short-term memory and learners with poor visual short-term memory and verbal solid short-term memory also perform similarly. However, learners with poor visual and verbal short-term memory learn better without vocabulary. The results also demonstrated that the language texture leads to the impacts of particular encryption and language-related factors at the time of recall affect the accessibility of memory. It is essential to consider this point in the learning and testing of bilingual individuals to facilitate recall. In general, the results showed that strong memory in language learning has a direct relationship.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of ownership structure on the transparency of accounting information with emphasis on environmental uncertainty in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The statistical population of this study is the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. After the restrictions were lifted, 174 companies were selected as the statistical sample size. The studied years are between 2015 and 2021.The findings of this paper are based on the fact that environmental uncertainty moderates the impact of ownership structure on transparency of accounting information. The results of the first hypothesis show that environmental uncertainty does not moderate the effect of government ownership on transparency of accounting information. Also, according to the second hypothesis test, the environmental uncertainty moderates the effect of managerial ownership on transparency of accounting information. Finally, the third hypothesis states that environmental uncertainty modulates the effect of institutional ownership on the transparency of accounting information.

Political freedom, which means the right to choose and to be elected, is a necessity of democracy and its existence in the main elections is inviolable. It should be noted that without political freedom, it will not be possible or very difficult to hold real elections and guarantee the rights and freedoms of citizens. To this end, this freedom should be reflected in electoral laws, guaranteed, and enforced by the government. The result of the present study, which has been done analytically-descriptively, is that some political freedoms such as group freedoms, freedom of opinion, etc. are more important in elections and in order to achieve democratic, free and fair elections, they must be observed. These freedoms are also enshrined in human rights conventions. However, a study of the situation in different countries, especially developing countries, shows that there is little commitment to these freedoms, and much effort should be made to expand it by the government, citizens, civic institutions, parties, and so on.It is worth mentioning that despite the importance of the subject, the attention of domestic researchers to this issue has been low and its nuances and details have not been paid much attention.

This study aimed at investigating the effect of employees’ mental health on human resource agility with the mediating role of service morale (case study: Hospital of Sarableh City). This research was applied in terms of its purpose and nature, descriptive-correlational in terms of method, and field (survey) in terms of data collection. The statistical population in this study includes all staff of Sarableh Hospital in autumn 2018, and according to the University of Medical Sciences statistics, 170 people were selected. The required sample size was estimated through the Morgan table as 115 ones who were selected by simple random sampling from the statistical population. For data collection, three mental health questionnaires with a reliability coefficient of 0.448, service morale with a coefficient of 0.481, and human resource agility with a coefficient of 0.465 were also used. The structural equation modeling using PLS and SPSS software was utilized to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that mental health has a positive and significant effect on human resource agility directly and indirectly through the mediating variable of service morale. Likewise, in another part of the study, the mediating effect of the variable of service morale was investigated, and the effect of the mental health variable on two variables of manpower agility was considered based on the effect of a third moderating variable as service morale, and there was a positive and significant relationship, too. Therefore, it was suggested that managers pay sufficient attention to indentify the indicators and internal propositions of their mental health.
