The perception of the female body in these spaces is influenced by social norms, urban design, and feelings of insecurity, which can limit women's presence and lifestyle. Accordingly, this study was conducted on the topic of " Women's Lifestyle and Urban Inequalities in Tabriz: Perception of the Female Body in Public Spaces”. This research was analyzed using qualitative method and content analysis with the participation of 92 Tabriz women. Sampling began purposively and continued until theoretical saturation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Strauss and Corbin method. Analysis of the interviews showed that the main category of "female body; the basis of women's fear" overshadowed women's experiences in public spaces. This category included three subcategories: “Feeling of fear in vehicles”, “Feeling of insecurity in public places” and “Reputation in social life”, each of which specifically addresses women’s concerns and challenges in interacting with urban spaces. Findings: The results and findings of this study highlight the need to review urban policies to reduce gender inequalities and increase women’s safety. Redesigning public spaces in Tabriz city by considering women’s needs and experiences can be an effective step in reducing gender inequalities, reducing fear and promoting their safety and well-being. Such changes will not only increase women’s social participation, but also pave the way for a fairer and safer city for all citizens.In the city of Tabriz, the combination of traditional and modern culture has led to the formation of urban inequalities in women’s experience of public spaces.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons for marital betrayal of men from the perspective of their spouses. In this article, using structural interpretation model, we tried to identify the structural relationship between the reasons for marital betrayal and their impact and impact levels. The results of the leveling of the variables indicate that the psychological reasons are at the highest level and the role that determines the issue. In the next level, factors are economic and environmental factors, on the third level are emotional factors and in the second level there are past events. At the lowest and most affected level, sexual reasons, abuse, abnormal marriage, and the absence of a spouse. MICMAC analysis showed that factors such as psychological reasons, past events, environmental reasons, and economic reasons are independent factors and factors such as emotional reasons, sexual and physical reasons, abnormal marriages, misconduct and lack of presence of the spouse were classified as related factors. None of the agents were identified as interpersonal or autonomous agents.The betrayal of the spouse is a factor in the fragmentation of the family structure and also eliminating the positive function of this structure is important.

The present study aimed to compare the lifestyles of female students who are dependent on and not dependent on social networks. The statistical sample consists of 100 female students who are connected to social networks and 100 female students who are not connected to social networks in District 5 of Tabriz Education. Students were screened using the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale. Both groups were assessed using the Health Promoting Lifestyle Questionnaire (HPLPII). The results were analyzed using Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). In comparing the two groups of subjects, the results showed that the lifestyle of students who are dependent on social networks is different from that of students who are not dependent. The results indicate that non-dependent students have a healthier lifestyle compared to dependent students. In examining lifestyle factors, the results of the study showed that there are differences in the factors of spiritual growth, responsibility for health, physical activity, interpersonal relationships, stress management, and nutrition between dependent and non-dependent students, and it can be said that the average of these factors is higher in the non-dependent group. The results of this study highlight the importance of the role of social networks in the lifestyle and health of female students.<br /><br />Keywords: Lifestyle, Dependency, Social NetworksDependence on the Internet and social networks can affect students' daily lives and have future consequences.

Due to their influential role in shaping various social theories, they have consistently been the focal point of thinkers from diverse intellectual domains. Each of these three concepts possesses unique characteristics from a paradigmatic perspective, which not only contributes to the formation of paradigms in social order and social cohesion but also attempts to preserve the authenticity of one or integrate the concepts into a social theory in different ways. This article is developed using a comparative method and aims to elucidate the theoretical and paradigmatic foundations from the perspective of relevant thinkers. It identifies the theoretical and paradigmatic commonalities and distinctions, and then, by utilizing these shared aspects and transcending the prevalent dichotomies, it embarks on integrating the constructs of emotion and rationality to explain social consensus. The outcome of this comparative analysis and theoretical integration suggests that most social and political thinkers have encountered a form of dichotomy in integrating concepts to explain social issues, failing to provide a clear and defined framework from a theoretical and paradigmatic perspective for this integration. The application of a systemic approach to integrate and move beyond the common dichotomies in social sciences, considering emotion and rationality as empathy and collaborative thinking, respectively, and the resultant achievement of this integration, serves as the proposal for cooperation aimed at explaining social consensus.Emotion, rationality, and social consensus are among the most significant theoretical discussions in the field of sociology.
