The present study aimed to determine the role of religious beliefs and meaning in life in predicting marital burnout among women attending counseling and psychological services centers in Chalous. The research method was descriptive–correlational. The statistical population consisted of all women who referred to counseling and psychological services centers in Chalous during the second half of 2024. Considering the predictor variables, anticipated participant attrition, and potential invalid questionnaires, a sample size of 150 participants (n = 150) was estimated and selected through convenience sampling. The instruments used in the present research included the George Religious Beliefs Questionnaire (1998), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire by Steger et al. (2006), and the Pines Marital Burnout Scale (CBM). The findings revealed that religious beliefs and dimensions of meaning in life significantly predicted women’s marital burnout, with the “search for meaning” exerting a stronger impact on reducing marital burnout. Moreover, a significant negative relationship was found between religious beliefs and components of meaning in life (including the search for meaning and the presence of meaning in life) and marital burnout, indicating that higher levels of these variables are associated with lower marital burnout. Therefore, strengthening religious beliefs and enhancing the sense of meaning in life can play an effective role in reducing marital burnout among women and contribute to improving the quality of marital relationships.

This study aims to propose a model for detecting the likelihood of fraud and financial crimes using forensic accounting tools. The required data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 expert forensic accountants using the snowball sampling method. An Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approach was employed to develop a proposed model. According to the ISM analysis, the exploratory model includes 19 factors. The results revealed that forensic accounting tools include the following components: data analysis, accounting standards, auditing standards, financial ratio analysis, Benford's analysis, and cloud-based tools. Legal forensic accounting tools comprised components such as criminal and penal law, criminology, legal monitoring of individuals’ accounts, interviewing and interrogation, forensic analysis, and legal documentation. Other forensic accounting tools encompassed information technology, employee monitoring tools, and fraud psychology. Ultimately, accounting tools, legal tools, and other forensic accounting instruments contribute to reducing the incidence of fraud and financial crimes. This model provides a systematic framework for combating financial fraud by creating overlap among accounting, legal, and technological domains. The findings emphasize that integrating analytical tools (e.g., Benford's analysis) with advanced technologies (such as cloud systems) and legal mechanisms significantly enhances the accuracy and speed of fraud detection. Additionally, considering psychological and monitoring factors alongside legal requirements facilitates the design of more effective preventive policies. This model can serve as a foundation for developing forensic accounting standards and strengthening regulatory frameworks within organizations.

The present study aimed to determine the relationship between body image, emotional maturity, and rejection sensitivity with emotional divorce among women on the verge of divorce in the city of Tonekabon. Given its primary purpose, this research was applied in nature and employed a correlational design. The statistical population consisted of all women on the verge of divorce in Tonekabon, which, according to data obtained from the Welfare Organization and the Social Emergency Center during 2022–2023, included 223 couples. A simple random sampling method was used to select participants. Based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, a sample of 136 married women was obtained. The research instruments included the Fisher Body Image Questionnaire (1970), the Emotional Maturity Scale by Yashvir Singh and Mahesh Bhargava (1991), the Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire by Downey and Feldman (1996), and the Emotional Divorce Questionnaire by Gottman (2008). Data were analyzed using stepwise regression analysis with SPSS version 27. The findings indicated a significant relationship between body image, emotional maturity, and rejection sensitivity with emotional divorce among women. Moreover, the variables of rejection sensitivity, emotional maturity, and body image were found to have predictive power for the criterion variable of emotional divorce.

Given the importance and necessity of branding in the clothing industry, this research was conducted with the aim of developing clothing brands in online businesses. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of method, and it has adopted a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach. In the first step of qualitative research, the method used was meta-analysis, and the statistical population included studies, books, and articles from 2014 to 2024 in the field of clothing brand development in online businesses, including works published in reputable scientific and promotional journals in this period. In the second step, the quantitative research method was used using confirmatory factor analysis and the statistical population included 238 senior and middle managers of clothing manufacturing companies in Mazandaran, of which a sample of 147 was determined using the Cochran formula. In the qualitative stage, meta-analysis was used, and in the quantitative stage, PLS structural equation modeling was used. The findings identify five main dimensions: brand strategy, design and visual variables, competitive advantage, content production and feedback, and communication, each of which includes specific components. The relationships between dimensions and components were verified through path analysis, validating the proposed model. The overall fit of the model, calculated using the GOF formula, indicates a strong fit. This study provides practical insights into the strategic development of apparel brands in online markets, enhancing brand competitiveness, and customer engagement.

Introduction: This study aimed to identify the potential genetic defects underlying familial clustering of lens dislocation in two unrelated Turkish families, consistent with the clinical features of isolated ectopia lentis (IEL). The investigation seeks to determine whether the detected findings overlap with those observed in other syndromic conditions that present with lens dislocation. Additionally, a focused review of IEL within the scientific literature was conducted to contextualize the molecular and phenotypic spectrum associated with lens abnormalities. The results of this study are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of IEL and to enhance diagnostic precision, genetic counseling, and clinical management strategies for affected individuals. Case Presentation and Conclusion: Comprehensive family histories and clinical evaluations revealed lens dislocation and associated ocular manifestations without systemic abnormalities or extraocular features suggestive of connective tissue disorders. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) in affected individuals identified two heterozygous FBN1 missense variants. The first variant, ENST00000316623.5:c.2920C>T, which has been previously reported in the literature, is located within the TB5 domain and was identified in ten affected members of family 1. The second variant, ENST00000316623.5:c.7018T>C, located within the TB9 domain, was identified in a single affected individual from family 2 and is reported here for the first time in association with IEL. Segregation analysis demonstrated that both variants co-segregated with the ectopia lentis phenotype and were completely absent in unaffected family members as well as in WES data from 200 ophthalmologically normal in-house controls. Besides, our study focused review of the literature on FBN1-associated IEL revealed that approximately 66.7% of reported variants involve missense substitutions affecting cysteine residues. Our study further reinforces this pattern by identifying two rare FBN1 missense variants that co-segregate with the phenotype, thereby expanding the known mutational spectrum of IEL. These findings also underscore the phenotypic heterogeneity of IEL, as reflected by the variable age of onset among affected individuals, and emphasize the critical role of domain-specific cysteine-altering mutations in the pathogenesis of IEL.

The play " Fen" by Caryl Churchill was written in 1983. Fen is the story of the rural women of the Fen region who are forced to work on farms that are managed in the feudal manner of England to make a living. Churchill shows how the capitalist system has ruled over the working class and the lower class of society throughout the ages, as it has involved these people and especially in this play, women. And this problem is visible at every moment in their female body and psyche. Now, the category of alienation, according to Karl Marx, depends on factors that are briefly: economic aspects, commodity fetishism, capital gains, and political aspect, we will examine the moral aspects and religion in this play and see which of the aspects mentioned in HJEga" will be indicated by alienation.
