The aim of this paper is to inspect the effects of using the Internet (chat) on interpersonal interactions among internet users of university students. In this paper, the theories of some pioneer scientists on social interactions such as Giddens, Peter Blau, Homans, Weber, and Habermas have been used; besides, the conceptual framework is consisted of Masoud Chalbi's "Interaction Theory" which is based on Parsons' AGIL theory. We have tried to embed the concepts and variables altogether in order to evaluate the causal mechanism of using the internet (chat) and its effects on the interpersonal interactions as dependent variables.This survey and the necessary information are gathered through a questionnaire. The statistical society, of which we have sampled 300 students, consists of the students of Azad Islamic University in Roudehen, Iran. The sample was selected through Cochran formula. The data of this paper is analyzed through quantitative analysis methods including univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis, regression and path analysis. All data analysis was performed with the help of the 19th version of SPSS.

Purpose: This study was conducted with a holistic approach to reviewing and redefining the process of interaction with information. Method: Data was collected by semi-structured interviews with 18 social and humanities researchers and analyzed by thematic analysis. Findings: Thematic network of information interactions consists of 5 global themes. In this network, with symmetry as one of the global themes, we found four other themes, ie opening, orientation, networking, and consolidation. Symmetry results in a relatively balanced view on the influence of human and nonhuman in information interactions. It prevents human or nonhuman agents to exert absolute domination of the interaction. In the symmetric model of information interactions, three layers of contexts, including internal-cognitive context, externalenvironmental contexts, and technology-tool are decisive. Conclusion: The new view of interacting with information goes beyond mere interpretation from the perspective of the human user and sees it alongside in human factors. As a result of such an approach, non-human factors in the role of infrastructure and technology context, along with human factors, external and internal context have clear and interpretable effects.

The way to interact with Iran has always been a controversial issue in transatlantic relations. The American and European positions towards Iran has witnessed many ups and downs in the past three decades and based on different developments, both sides have had different stances. The main question of this article is that" what has been the dominant model in the transatlantic positions regarding Iran in the past three decades"? Comparing American and European positions' towards Iran, the level of convergence and divergence of these actors will be scrutinized. Our findings indicate that the trend of transatlantic positions could be divided in to three stages. In the first stage which starts from the victory of the Islamic Revolution till the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the United States and the European countries share common concerns and try to contain the Revolutionary Iran. The second stage is coincided with some major international developments such as the end of Cold War, the Persian Gulf War (1991) and Iran's domestic developments including the end of imposed war and Hashemi Rafsanjani's presidency. In this period, there could be seen apparent gaps and differences in transatlantic policies. The third stage, up on which we mainly focus, begins with the introduction of Iran's nuclear file and the American attempts to convince the Europeans to limit and to contain Iran's nuclear program which finally led to a sharp convergence in these countries' positions. What is of great significance in this stage is a shift in European Union's policies (negotiation and interaction) in comparison with those of America's Approach (imposing sanctions and containment).

Purpose: Surveying the interdisciplinary interactions in cybernetics through investigating papers in WOS dates between 1986 and 2015 and visualizing and analysis of the scientific mapping.Methodology: Using scientometrics approach, “Cybernetic*” keyword is searched as title or subject in WOS.Additionally, Pajak software is used to identify related subjects to cybernetics through designing scientific map using science overlay mapping. Also, mapping word co-occurrence of citation network of superior citing categories is done using V.O.S. Viewer.Results: Cybernetics includes of 3 main clusters and 8 subject fields of computer science, management, engineering, electronic engineering, neuroscience, social sciences, physics, biology technology. Computer science is a core field having 7 groups and the strongest with highest impact among other disciplines. Management, computer science and artificial intelligence as well as electronic and electrical engineering are the most citing subjective categories. Two words of “system” and “approach” are the most used words in cybernetic literature.Conclusion: The Cybernetics structure of 8 fields and 49 nodes reflects the fruitfulness of its network and wide area of interdisciplinary relationships. That is important for science policymakers to recognize new research trends.
