Despite the importance of characteristics of the entrepreneurs in new ventures, less significant attempt has been made to conceptualize the impact of the actors' social, human and psychological capital on the growth of new ventures. The goal of this study is to analyze the characteristics of entrepreneurs based on most prominent attributes of actors including social capital, human capital, and psychological capital for actors of new ventures formed under Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation support in Tehran and Alborz provinces. This is a practical study from goal perspective, and a qualitative research from the perspective of data gathering and analyzing methods. Using template case study, in this research we performed in-depth semi-structured interviews with 14 successful and unsuccessful businesses elected through judgmental sampling. Based on the results, psychological capital of entrepreneurs more effective in the success new ventures than their human and social capital.

The purpose of this article is to study and analyze the "social issue" from the perspective of the modern and postmodern paradigm. In European social thought, since the Renaissance, it has witnessed the emergence of two separate thought systems, which can be divided into two modes: "modern" and "postmodern." Each of these approaches, based on their epistemological foundations, defines the social problem in a particular way. In each of the modern theoretical and postmodern approaches, the social problem has a different definition and explanation framework. In this regard, relying on the "method of qualitative content analysis" of the social ideas of Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber as classical and modern thinkers of sociology and Jacques Derrida as the most important figure of post-structuralism around the concept of problem. Social has been analyzed. The results of the analysis show that from the point of view of modern social thought, social issue has an objective existence and can be discovered, explained and predicted through the science of sociology. For Derrida, however, is a socially constructed social issue that is the source of power, and there are no false and true criteria for its recognition. Modern thinkers in the field of social problem tend to "problematize" and determine the mechanism of recognition of social problem, but on the other hand, post-structuralist thinkers believe in "problem-making".

The main purpose of countries planning their economic future based on cultural industries is to preserve and develop their own culture first, and then economic dynamics. Taking into account the social and cultural geometry of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, preserving and developing one's own culture is a priority, and policy making in the cultural industries must be pursued. In addition, given that the planning of the Iranian economy in the recent years is in line with the resistive economy, the dynamics of cultural industries can contribute to the endogenous economic growth of the country and, consequently, be used to implement the resistive economy. <br />This research was conducted through the analysis of the content of 35 in-depth interviews with cultural industry experts and practitioners. Using the content analysis method, four general themes have been identified as indexes of the cultural industries, which include: spreading the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, the dynamics of the urban economy, being popular, and participatory. Each of the themes has also been identified in five key areas for the exploitation of indigenous cultural industries, including the areas of production, infrastructure, market, investment, and vocational education, and each has provided strategies and suggestions. The most important proposals include the creation of a new technology investment program, the creation of a city's cultural and artistic creativity register, the creation of a secretariat or council for the development of cultural industries, and the creation of a venture capital fund. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Today, the cultural industries are increasingly important and will play a key role in the future of the world economy and culture.

In the variable "perception of corruption", theories proposed by Hoetjes, Thrisman and Heiden Heimer and in the variable "social capital" have been used from the institutionalized approach, and in particular from the Bo Rothsteine and Stolle theories. The required data were collected using a survey method and a questionnaire tool from a sample of 400 subjects. The descriptive findings of the research indicated that the level of perception of corruption index and all of its dimensions (i.e. micro corruption, macro corruption, system corruption, and international corruption) were at high level and the level of social capital index and all its constituent variables (i.e. social awareness, social trust, general norms, participation social, and social cohesion) were at a low level. The explanatory findings of the research indicated that there is a reverse, strong, and significant relationship and effect between perception of corruption and all its dimensions and social capital. In Pearson correlation coefficient, the inverse relationship between perceptions of corruption and all its dimensions and social capital was significant. In multi-variatble regression analysis, the regression model of research and the inverse effects of all dimensions of perception of corruption were significant, and the most direct effect based on the Beta coefficient was the dimension of the perception of systemic corruption on social capital. Also, according to the results of structural equation modeling, the theoretical model based on various indices such as CMIN / DF, RMSEA, NFI, CFI, PCFI, etc had a reasonable fit. The results of this study confirm findings of empirical background and the theoretical framework of the research based on the institution-based approach. Also, results determined that the as perception of corruption in all its dimensions increases, the level of social capital and all its variables decreases. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />In this paper, we study on the relationship between the perception of corruption and social capital in urban population over 30 years old in Mazandaran province.

And so it is important to know what is the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a powerful diplomatic country. Therefore, in this study we pursues this Purpose by using TOPSIS model as one of the powerful techniques in multi-criteria decision making. For this purpose, after preparing the research instrument and confirming its validity, it was distributed among the statistical population of the research including faculty and experts in the field of sport and diplomacy. The results show that "the increasing power and attractiveness of international sporting events" is one of the most important reasons for the development of sports diplomacy in Iran. Other research results indicate the critical situation in the areas of "trustee organization" and "policies and programs" in the field of sports diplomacy. In this context, "empowering capacities" was the most important strategy and the "development of political sociology" was the most important consequence of this phenomenon from the experts' point of view. Whatever we can conclude from this study is the need to develop a long-term bond program in order to empower capacity to improve critical points.Sport diplomacy is a pervasive phenomenon that is at the diplomatic level an important component of communication between nations and the countries.
