Background: Social media platforms are increasingly used in healthcare to provide psychosocial support to cancer patients. Despite global enthusiasm, concerns about misinformation and emotional vulnerability persist. In Iran, cultural and regulatory contexts add complexity to this dynamic, necessitating a localized understanding of healthcare providers’ perspectives. Aims: This study aims to explore Iranian oncology nurses’ perceptions of the benefits and risks associated with hospitalized cancer patients' use of social media, and to identify factors influencing these perceptions. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 131 oncology nurses from various hospitals in Iran, primarily in Tehran. Participants completed a structured questionnaire assessing demographics, life satisfaction, personal social media use, and perceptions of social media's impact on patient morale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and path analysis. Results: Overall, nurses held a positive view of social media’s role in enhancing patient morale, with a mean perception score of 7.1/10. Younger nurses and those with junior professional ranks exhibited more favorable attitudes. Personal social media usage positively correlated with optimistic perceptions, while life satisfaction showed a weak but significant positive association. Path analysis indicated that daily social media usage and younger age were the strongest predictors of positive perceptions. Some nurses, however, expressed concerns about misinformation and patient vulnerability. Conclusions: The findings highlight the generally favorable yet nuanced attitudes of Iranian oncology nurses toward social media use by cancer patients. Efforts to enhance digital literacy among healthcare providers and culturally sensitive strategies are recommended to maximize social media’s psychosocial benefits while mitigating associated risks.

Background: Due to the changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, telecommuting has emerged as a new work method in the media, enabling journalists to adapt to digital technologies.Aims: This study aims to assess journalists' satisfaction with telecommuting in the post-COVID era among journalists at ISNA news agency.Methodology: The theoretical foundation of this research is based on the ideas of Daniel Bell and Manuel Castells. The statistical population includes 123 journalists, managers, senior editors, and news editors. Data was collected using a survey method and a researcher-designed questionnaire. The questionnaire's validity was evaluated through face validity, and its reliability was determined by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.956.Results: The results of this study indicate that telecommuting has had positive effects on journalists' productivity, focus, topic discovery, and job enthusiasm. Among the factors assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, “improved output during telecommuting” ranked highest with an average of 4.35, followed by “no issues in communication with colleagues” with an average of 4.29, “feeling of enthusiasm and vitality” with an average of 4.19, “better focus on work” with an average of 4.18, “more time for work” with an average of 4.07, “topic discovery and development” with an average of 3.87, and finally, “ease of communication with relevant organizations and individuals” with an average of 3.74.Conclusions: Environmental, family, and individual factors (such as number of children or marital status) have no effect on job satisfaction in telecommuting, but journalists’ job position does influence their satisfaction with telecommuting.

Background: Throughout history, humans have consistently developed groundbreaking technologies, from fire and the wheel to modern computing, showcasing their ability to innovate and control their creations. The rise of artificial intelligence has sparked renewed concerns about whether machines might eventually surpass human intelligence and autonomy.Aims: This study aims to critically assess AI’s role in human society, particularly addressing concerns that it may surpass human control and agency. It seeks to demonstrate that while AI is a powerful tool, it lacks autonomy, self-augmentation, and intentionality, making it unlikely to replace human decision-making. Additionally, the paper examines historical technological advancements, showing how humans have always adapted and controlled new innovations.Methodology: Employing a historical-comparative methodology, this study traces the evolution of computing technologies from early tally systems to quantum computing. It incorporates philosophical analysis through the works of Hubert Dreyfus, John Searle, and Michael Tomasello, assessing AI’s limitations in replicating human cognition.Findings: The study finds that despite AI’s rapid advancements, it remains fundamentally dependent on human input, lacks true understanding, and is incapable of independent self-enhancement. The historical trajectory of technological progress demonstrates that while new technologies can disrupt societies, humans have consistently adapted and maintained control. Philosophical critiques of AI further reinforce the argument that intelligence is not solely computational but deeply rooted in embodiment, intuition, and shared intentionality—qualities that AI lacks.Conclusions: Concerns about AI overwhelming human agency are largely misplaced. Just as humanity has managed previous technological revolutions—including writing, mechanization, and computing—AI will be integrated and regulated according to human needs and ethical considerations. While vigilance is necessary, the myth of AI autonomy is exaggerated.

Background: Understanding color preference in virtual environments is crucial for applications in digital design, human-computer interaction, and virtual reality (VR).Aims: This study examines how luminance, hue, and saturation influence color preference in VR settings, considering both environmental and perceptual factors.Methodology: A controlled VR experiment was used, where participants interacted with two distinct virtual zones designed to simulate different lighting conditions.Finding: The findings suggest that chromatic lightness and perceived hue play distinct roles in color preference, with evidence supporting Weber's Law of illumination adaptation. It was also shown that regions with elevated chroma exhibit more pronounced colors. Additionally, the participants' average color preferences were determined, and the appropriate modification rate was extracted by comparing the preferred colors to the average colors of the virtual spaces. One significant finding was that, cooler colors were favored to warmer ones, which is consistent with previous research on color preferences. Furthermore, a correlation between lighting circumstances and color preferences was established.Conclusion: The findings indicated that adjusting the hue, saturation, and brightness can improve the design of virtual environments by matching the tastes of users. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of color perception in digital spaces and have implications for design, architecture, and cognitive science.

Background: The airline industry is highly competitive and service-oriented, making it particularly vulnerable to customer dissatisfaction and brand hate. Brand hate, defined as intense negative emotions toward a brand, can lead to consumer retaliation, boycotts, and long-term reputational damage in airline context.Aims: This study explores effective strategies for managing brand hate in the airline industry.Methodology: Using a dual-method qualitative approach, we conduct (1) a netnographic analysis from the consumer perspective and (2) five semi-structured interviews with airline managers, analyzed using Lexico 3.Findings: Our findings identify five key strategies for mitigating brand hate. Consistent with prior literature, we confirm that management processes and brand recovery are valuable for addressing short-term customer complaints. Additionally, we propose novel long-term strategies, including benchmarking and competitive intelligence, workplace control, and enhanced security measures. In fact, by integrating insights from both customers and brands, this research deepens the understanding of hate management and highlights the severe repercussions of consumer attrition for airline companies.Conclusions: Our study emphasizes the need for proactive interventions and equips managers with actionable strategies to reduce brand hate, repair customer relationships in digital environments, and enrich the literature on crisis management and relationship between consumer and brand.

Background: Despite advancements in environmental policies and education, many individuals remain disconnected from nature, leading to ecological neglect and unsustainable behaviors. Aims: This study explores the institutionalization of environmental intelligence in education, emphasizing an Iranian perspective within the context of globalization. It argues for an educational paradigm that integrates traditional ecological wisdom with contemporary learning models, fostering a holistic, experiential, and culturally grounded approach. Methodology: Using literature synthesis and philosophical interpretation, this research draws on the spiritual and ethical teachings of Attar and Rumi alongside modern educational theories, including experiential, interdisciplinary, and quantum education. Discussion: The study examines how globalization and urbanization have reshaped traditional environmental perceptions, particularly in Iranian culture, where mountains once held deep ecological and cultural significance but have become overlooked in modern urban life. Additionally, it investigates the role of global communication and virtual education in shaping environmental consciousness. Rather than proposing a replacement for existing environmental education, this study introduces a complementary framework that blends Iranian philosophical heritage, contemporary pedagogy, and digital learning. By fostering spiritual, ethical, and ecological awareness, this paradigm encourages a collective, participatory approach to sustainability. Conclusions: It envisions an education system where cultural wisdom and modern innovation work together to cultivate deep, empathetic connections between people and the environment.

Background: The conceptualization of Moroccan cyberspace is intrinsically linked to the country's international and regional dynamics, in particular those of its African and Mediterranean neighborhood.Methodology: we have mobilized quantitative techniques and potential comparative analysis to address our crucial research questions around the strengths and weaknesses within Morocco's national cyber strategy by analyzing and comparing them with other international experiences, and finally recommending best practices to maintain the regional leadership position.Discussion: Although Morocco has acquired considerable expertise in comparison with this environment, regarding proven mechanisms of cyber stability, and the institutionalization and organization of national cyber security. However, one of the main obstacles lies in the centralization of these practices by the State, as well as in the sectorial and selective approach chosen by Moroccan policymakers to secure the national cyber space. This strategy, contrary to the country's principles of openness, was developed on the basis of the arguments, based on the priorities and strategic challenges specific to each sector.Aims: We open up our local experience to comparison with other known global experiences in the field of national cybersecurity, to decipher the strengths and weaknesses of national digital strategies and to fill the gaps causing the weakening of our replicating processes.Conclusion: The question is whether a simple reform of the central state's public policies on national cybersecurity is effective or, on the contrary, the situation requires a drastic and broader intervention, materialized by major investments and structural reforms in entire development strategies.
