Representation is one of the basic concepts in media studies and the way in which the media presents events and facts. In this method, words, images, music and other elements of the film are considered as symbols. Through which it creates different possible meanings. The aim of this study is to analyze the semiotics in the semantic systems of family changes in order to encode meaningful concepts. In this research, since it deals with moving images, music and words as media text, it has used a qualitative method with a semiotic approach to examine the visual cues in the selected film. The film introduces a profound tissue transformation in the family. From the point of view of technical codes, it is clear that all elements of technical design represent the duality between couples that leads to differences, and this difference in levels and mutual social rituals of couples is also evident in the social codes. As a result, the main concept of the film is about modern human, as if in the social context of his land, he is not so dependent and believes in his own culture and past, nor the necessary knowledge about the modern world and modern and postmodern life accessories has it.

This study investigates the relationship between the measurements obtained from the social networks of ResearchGate and Academia with the scientometric indicators of Scopus and Web of Science databases. The present study is of a fundamental type that has been done in a descriptive manner and with an algorithmic approach. The statistical population of the study includes the most prolific authors in the field of Iranian Business Management who have uploaded their documents in the Scopus database between 2000-2019. 160 of these authors, who had the most documents indexed in Scopus, respectively, have been introduced as a statistical sample of the research. In order to investigate the relationship between the metrics obtained by the authors' activities in the research networks of ResearchGate and Academia with the scientometric indicators of Scopus and Web of Science databases, the statistical tests of correlation with the help of Excel and SPSS has been used. The presence and activity of Business Management writers on the ResearchGate social network is much higher than that of the academia. The relationship between the number of records, citations, H-index and co-authorship in Scopus with the metrics of citation number, citations, index, readers, RJ score and followers in ResearchGate is positive and significant. However, there is no significant relationship between Scopus scientometrics and the criteria of followers, viewers, and co-authors in the academia.

The present study analyzes the research background section of the five master's theses in the fields of Information science and epistemology, social sciences, psychology, political science and counseling in the years 1393 to 1398 of Razi University, Faculty of Social and Educational Sciences. This research has been studied by the method of quantitative content analysis of the applied type, 140 dissertation titles were inspected. The tool used in this research is a checklist. Mean data comparison tests were used to analyze the data. It shows that in terms of structure in the field, the field of consulting has the highest average and the field of political science has the lowest average in terms of structure. In terms of content by discipline, the social sciences have the highest average and the field of psychology the lowest. In the "by year" structure, the closer the research backgrounds are to 1998, the better they are, and in terms of content, the closer they get to 1998, the weaker they are. This means that the research backgrounds were better in 1993 and 1994. The findings also indicate the second place of the field of information science and epistemology among other fields. In this field, in terms of structure based on year, the year 1395, and in terms of content, the year 93 had a better situation among other years. The results indicate that according to the criteria, the research background is relatively good in terms of structure, but weak in terms of content, and not of good quality.

The aim of this research is to study the quality of services in the public libraries of Tabriz. This applied research was conducted with a quantitative approach and a survey method. The statistical population of the study was 37931 members of the Public Libraries of Tabriz and the sample size was 380 cases that were selected by stratified random sampling. The data collection tool was the standard LIBQUAL questionnaire and its reliability in the present study based on Cronbach's alpha was 0.93. In order to answer the questions and hypotheses, descriptive and inferential statistics were used using SPSS 24 statistical software. In general, in the three dimensions of LIBQUAL, the average level of minimum expectations of respondents was 4.39, the average level of received services was 5.70 and the average level of maximum expectations was 6.68. The difference between users' expectations and the level of received services in each dimension of the LIBQUAL was not higher than of the maximum expectations. The results of paired t-test confirmed the existence of a significant difference between the maximum expectations and the level of received services by users and also the existence of a significant difference between the minimum expectations and the level of received services by users in all dimensions of the LIBQUAL. It can be concluded that although the libraries have been able to meet the minimum expectations of the users in all cases partly, but the maximum expectations of the users have not been met yet.

This study seeks to determine the level of knowledge and skills of PhD students in publishing their resources in scholarly journals and assess the relationship between publishing skills in journals and variables of field, gender, age and its relationship with the number of articles published in national and international journals. Finally, the impact of participating in related workshops is on the level of this skill. Methodology is an applied type with a quantitative and survey method. The statistical population includes all PhD students at the University of Isfahan in the number of 2432 people. The sampling was stratified random, the volume of which was estimated to be 332 using Krejcie and Morgan table, The skills rate of students was moderate and varied in different fields. But gender and age had no effect on its rate. The level of literacy was also positively correlated with the number of articles published in internal and international journals, and participation in related workshop increased its average score. Since the students' skills were moderate, this research could be the beginning of a study that, like information literacy, creates a framework called publishing literacy in scholarly journals for novice researchers to benefit from. The results indicated the acquisition of this skill, the need to plan related training courses, the impact of the author's role in increasing this skill, the need to modify and pay attention to regulations and criteria for student admission, and the importance of holding related training workshops by universities.

The Chicago School places a strong emphasis on personal and interpersonal communication. In this school, communication between individuals knows the basis of human life, which plays a central role in individual and collective relationships. The main and most famous theory of this school is the theory of symbolic interactionism. In this theory, actors strive for common understanding only through logic, cooperation, and through language and symbols. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the status of informal scientific communication in the Chicago school with emphasis on symbolic interaction theory. Symbolic interaction in each actor has a purpose that often involves choosing a tool to achieve that goal. That is, the tools and the goal are empirically and analytically distinct. Symbolical tools and devices of paramount importance are symbols and languages that lead to informal scientific communication between individuals in a perfectly logical environment, free from blind prejudice. Given that action takes place in a social setting and part of social communication and that scientific communication is also a subset of social communication, it can be one of the essential axes of the social institution that plays an important role in the development of science. has it. In the Chicago school, scientific communication is regarded as part of human communication because social life in the scientific community involves all kinds of communication and social interaction between individuals.
