Abstract Durkheim is one of the greatest sociological theorists whose major works tend towards the positivist school. The first famous principle of his sociology was that social events should be studied as objects; the title of Durkheim's doctoral dissertation is On the Social Division of Labor. In this work, he examines the social causes of the transition from traditional to modern society. Another important work of his in positivist sociology is called Suicide, in which he uses statistical data to classify the suicide rate in different strata and societies. Miller's theory is about the structure of capital and helps to form the basis for modern thinking in the structure of capital. This theory states that the value of a company in the absence of taxes, bankruptcy costs, agency costs, and asymmetric information, and in a labor market, is not affected by the way it is financed. The aim of the research is to analyze the concept of social facts in the play by Arthur Miller with the sociological approach of Emile Durkheim, which leads to a greater understanding of Miller's play. In this research, the collection of materials was carried out using a library method. The type of research is descriptive-analytical, and at the end, the similarities of Durkheim's sociological theories in Miller's plays are clearly observed.

Abstract Social anxiety is a type of anxiety that occurs when facing social situations and communicating with others. People who suffer from social anxiety experience intense fear and worry in social situations and feel unable to manage and control these situations. Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders. Due to various barriers, many people face difficulties in accessing treatment. Therefore, researchers have investigated the possibility of using the Internet to deliver CBT. It is important to ensure that the decision to promote such a treatment is based on high-quality evidence. Exposure therapy is a technique designed to help people cope with their fears. Using this method, the person is gradually exposed to stimuli that provoke a fear response in them. These triggers can range from external stimuli such as objects or social situations to internal factors such as thoughts, mental images, or physical sensations related to the trauma. When people are anxious because of a fear, phobia, or a traumatic memory, they often avoid anything that reminds them of it. This avoidance provides temporary relief, but ultimately maintains and reinforces the fear and avoidance pattern. In fact, avoidance can make things worse. Exposure therapy enables people to face and experience feared stimuli by creating a safe environment. This leads to a reduction in fear and anxiety, minimizing avoidance of feared situations, and improving quality of life. The ultimate goal is to desensitize people to the point where they can face their fears without experiencing intense anxiety.

Abstract The present study examines the concept of resilience and its related problems. Resilience is the ability to return to balance and grow after challenges. Unlike endurance, which refers only to resistance, resilience includes learning and adaptation after crises. This is an acquired skill and plays an important role in mental health and improving the quality of life. Being resilient means having the flexibility to return to normal. Someone who has this characteristic and strengthens it is someone who faces disappointment, failure, and hardship, but can control everything in such a way that a return to the normal course of life is possible. Disasters, accidents, losses, and unpleasant events are not far from people's lives. Someone who knows resilience well and strengthens it in themselves, goes through all this and endures and perseveres in the struggle of difficult days in life. Suppose, a serious accident has occurred and you have suffered serious physical injuries. Enduring the situation and trying to recover, along with not getting discouraged and tired of the treatment process, shows that you are a resilient person.

Abstract The aim of this study was to present a comprehensive model and identify the influential factors in the preparation of combat forces. To achieve this goal, the researchers consulted experts from the Iranian Armed Forces and collected information through in-depth interviews. The data obtained from twenty interviews, as well as related documents and records, were coded and analyzed. A mixed-method research approach (qualitative and quantitative) was employed.

Causal diagrams can transform complex causal relationships among criteria into a structured and observable model, providing precise insights for problem-solving. Additionally, by using causal diagrams to distinguish between cause and effect criteria, more informed decisions can be made. Therefore, the DEMATEL technique was used to identify key factors in the preparation of combat forces and any causal relationships between the criteria.

The results of code categorization revealed fifteen components at three levels: military training, military physical education, and special training.

Conclusion: Based on the research findings, the proposed model can serve as a foundation for successful preparation of combat forces. In military environments, combat forces are considered essential and central elements. Accordingly, the comprehensive model of influential factors in combat force preparation was extracted, validated, and the research framework was outlined and confirmed.
