Fiber production in nanoscale prepares high surface contact for fibers and leads to the improvement of their properties with respect to other fibers. A convenient and effective method for nanofiber production with different diameters is electrospinning. Various effective parameters on electrospinning processes, including environmental, equipment, and solution variables can produce fibers with different morphologies. PVA has been used in various fields of applied research because of its high thermal stability, biocompatibility, non-toxic and solubility in water. The published reports indicated that properties of the PVA are improved with the addition of bentonite. In this research, to prepare PVA/nano-bentonite nanofiber membrane, the optimum amounts of three effective variables on the above-mentioned processes were determined. According to the obtained results, the voltage of 11 kV, the feeding rate of 0.5 mL/h and bentonite concentration of 3% w/w were optimum conditions for the process of PVA/nano-bentonite nanofiber composite production. In this condition, the average diameter of produced nanofibers was 243 nm with the standard deviation of 0.0551 and the tensile strength of 7.64 MPa. The results showed that the addition of bentonite to PVA increase intensity of nanofibers and decrease the diameter of nanofibers from 308 nm to 243nm.Therfore, the produced PVA/bentonite nanofiber composite is a good membrane for water treatment.

Research subject: Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegnerative disorder with no treatment due to the blood brain barrier (BBB) existence. The cure for this disease is Dopamine a chemical molecule.
Research approach: This study investigates biodegradable naoparticles (NPs) carrying dopamine (DA) across the blood–brain barrier. Ion polymerization and solvent methods were used to achieve this goal. Particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency and in vitro drug release behavior, at pH 7 were examined.
Main results: The empty nanoparticles and drug-loaded nanoparticles were found to be spherical in shape and fluffy exterior, with mono-modal size distribution and negative zeta-potentials of increasing average sizes 90 to 120 nm simultaneously. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra demonstrated the polymerization of nBCA monomers and encapsulation of DA inside poly (butylcyanoacrylate) (PBCA).Thermal characteristics of the copolymer were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Drug loading efficiency was around 25%.The in-vitro drug release profile of DA -loaded PBCA nanoparticles prepared from ion polymerization following solution techniques exhibited a gradual release; more than 20 ٪w/w of the drug was released after 51 h. The results showed that the DA–PBCA nanocapsules could be an effective carrier for hydrophilic agents. In this study, PBCA-NSPs were successfully generated as a delivery system for DA, providing a promising approach to improve the therapy of PDs.

Theme as the central thought and the main word of the artist is interpreted in the text and content. Theme is the main essence of literary work that illuminates the direction of thought and idea of its author. Couplet is one of the most pleasing Persian poetry forms with chiliad written history. Perhaps its oral history is even older. This form, along with the Persian traditional poetry, has grown in different languages of Iran. One of these languages, namely “Mazandarani” has a remarkable literature itself.In this article, the themes of two hundred folk couplets of Savadkouh (a city in Mazandaran) have been analyzed. The findings indicated that most of the themes are socially-oriented.the study analyzes seven themes in two-hundred couplets.the themes are: pain of love, sorrow of nostalgia, curse, complaints of young ladies for imposed marriages, as well as dissatisfaction with the fortune and luck, compulsory military service and the complaint of lover from beloved. Most of the couplets are monologues, which have been composed for the regret and reminiscence of the past days. Some of the important factors leading these couplets are analogy, rivalry, treason, financial poverty, illiteracy, hard work in strange lands, system of lord and vassal or mastery system, denial of other cultures, and cultural hybridity.

This research aimed to evaluate the effect of planting seasons (autumn and spring) on 10 accessions of two species of Astragalus effusus and Astragalus brachyodontus in the field condition (Homand Absard station, Damavand). After preparing the seedbed, the plant species were planted on two lines in 2 m, where the spacing between the lines of each accession was 0.5 m, and the spacing between the lines of different accessions was 0.75 m. The selected design for this study was a complete randomized block with three replications. Evaluation parameters were: forage production, canopy cover, plant height, seed yield, and number of flowering stems. Data were analyzed using split plot in time as year for each plot, and mean comparisons were made using Duncan’s method.The results showed that planting seasons had a significant effect on most of the measured parameters in different accessions. Autumn planting increased the forage production, height, canopy cover and number of flowering stems. The species A. brachyodontus (Zereshk), A. brachyodontus (Alamut) and A. effusus (Dareh Shohada) had high production and canopy cover in the autumn cultivation. Thus, the mentioned accessions are recommended for the improvement and development of rangelands and abandoned dry land farming with the same weather conditions of Homand Absard station.

Optical properties of graphene oxide and poly methyl methacrylate nanocomposite was investigated in this paper. Initially, graphene oxide was prepared from the oxidation of graphite powder by a strong acid by Hummers-Offemane method. Then identification, purity determination and particle size were obtained by using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The average size of graphene oxide nano particles was estimated about 38.4 nm using the XRD technique. So nano composites of graphene oxide based on poly methyl methacrylate were prepared by the co-precipitation method as an optical sensor element. Nano  composites were identified and characterized by FE SEM, EDX, XRD and FT IR analyzes. To investigate the optical properties of the specimens, UV-vis spectro photometry and reflective spectrometer were used. For three samples of the poly methyl methacrylate nano composite containing nano -graphene oxide, the values ​​of the color parameters b *, a * and L * were obtained that were prepared in the same conditions. Then the black index of the Westlanchr('39')s ratio was calculated. The average blackness index calculated was 3.7 for this nano composite. The study of UV-vis spectra in the region of 400-1100 nm for this nano composite showed that in the 400 - 700 nm regions the light transmission of UV light is approximately zero. Therefore, the results showed that the use of graphene oxide in the PMMA matrix improves the nano composite coating properties against UV waves and nano oxide graphene gives better shades of black color compared to other fillers and pigments.

By a brief review of Iranian art works, we will understand that all Iranian art masterpieces come from and are affected by the concrete expression of the specific idea of those people who intent to embody their special beliefs and worldviews using those arts. Relationship of man with nature as well as the role of nature in urban areas and its subsequent influence on human life is one of the most significant issues that may be addressed through research on the relationship of man and nature along with identification of their mutual impacts, since nature is a representation of perfection in mankind and the ultimate beauty as it contributes to realization of life and its values. Awareness of human to the benefits provided by the green space serves as a prelude to man’s perception of creating artificial environment, light and darkness, noise and silence, and subsequently motion and inertia, because particular attributes of green space are in line with man’s cognizance of needs. Meanwhile, due to the Islamic approach of this paper, Islamic views on nature and its relationship with mankind should be discussed, since numerous verses of Quran have cited nature, making it easier for us to figure out this relationship. An inseparable link may be found in Islam between man and nature as well as natural sciences and religion. By abstaining from complete detachment of man and nature, Islam has retained its integrated approach towards universe. Indeed, mankind is a gateway to grace and mercy for the nature. Therefore it can be said that the garden is a holy place which is reminiscent of reconstruction of the cosmic event and rebirth of the world; a real world between the world of senses and the world of pure reasoning with a feeling of plurality and multiple spaces which leads to emergence of a divine feeling of separation, peace and eternity with some kind of hierarchy in the combination of the components and elements. Before being a manifestation of the territory and historical eras, gardens demonstrate the human beings’ thoughts and beliefs. The physical structure of gardens has undergone incredible changes by change in the religious thoughts (aspirations and beliefs). In this way, religion has played a decisive role in creation of gardens. The nature, the universe architecture’s achievement, God, is often inspiration for architectures. Because of human’s inborn tendency to nature and notable impacts of relationship with nature in soul and body of human, human always has been seeking to find a reasonable relationship between inside space and outside nature. Today, physical and psychological needs of humans to communicate with nature, is a reason that in all societies, it is converted to cultural heritage; however Iranian paradise as a excellent example is a picture of Iranian beliefs that despite of harshness, still is a successful pattern. The paradise in interaction between humans and their thoughts and as a meeting place for sky and earth and interaction between function and thoughts is the best place for mystical experience. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the formation of a Persian garden becomes possible, what are the type of used elements and spatial arrangement in it. In Persian Garden replacing the circular shape, which is different from other geometric shapes, is feasible. The circle is the point of spreading, symbolism or symbolic interpretation that covers the concepts of excellence, integrity and the absence of any distinction and separation. In addition to the concept of perfection that exists implicitly within the eternal circle, it also symbolizes creativity and creation of the universe. There are different climates in Iran, so the variety of vegetation in Iran is in abundant. The application of these types in green space architecture intensifies the variety and ecotypes (in color, form, size and adaptability) and also increases the success of coefficient certitude of the design and design flexibility. Having plants in green spaces is a vindication of climate and cultural capability. Due to reaching the international standards of green space per capita, we need more green space several times than the current one. Human innately likes nature. Humans’ need of vegetation and nature has been a biological and vital need from the beginning of the creation. This is a physiological need. Due to that it consists of a physical-chemical force in the brain that organizes all human rational and perceptional capabilities and guides them. The needs can be different from being urgent one or normal one and if human’s primary needs are not satisfied, a stronger aggression may be needed. Green spaces are full of varied colors, but the green color is dominant among them. From a psychological point of view, green is basically a tranquilizing color and mentally can make the space tolerable for the crowds assembled in such centers. When a person goes back to the nature and sees green trees andbeautiful flowers with water sounds and birds twittering, delightful moments are created for him/her. In the recent decades, due to changes in the social structure of the country, the majority of the patterns used for the designing urban public green spaces are those of Western parks. Moreover, the vertical growth of the cities in response to the shortage of available urban lands and the consequent dearth of green spaces has accentuated the already present need for parks. These two factors gave rise to the wide use of Western park patterns by urban designers and planners as it well provided both the need for green space and public spaces. In consequence, the Persian garden patterns, which during the years of Iranian history had been of regular use in the construction of landscapes and also enjoyed the numerous researches revolving their stability and aesthetic and psychological aspects, were eclipsed by the Western patterns. The following research was carried out in order to provide an answer to an important question; that is, how it would be possible to use the patterns of Persian gardens instead of those which belong to the Western parks in designing the urban public green spaces. The main aim of this study is to focus on relationship between human and nature, natural factors and to recognize the ranking of Iranian paradise in a kind of interaction between human and nature. The research method is documentary study and library-based, and the comparative studies are descriptive. The findings show that the relationship with nature is the most necessary condition for artist. He/she is nature himself/ herself, as part of nature and nature, via natural space, in many ways has impact on innovation of architecture. The nature is always present everywhere and is a powerful tool for motivation. Its presence is obvious in metaphor, imitation, variation form and architectural materials.

Statecraft, or what is called modern politics in the Shahnameh, has prosperity and authenticity combined with knowledge and insight. The foundation of Shahriari and governance is based on the two principles of truth and justice. Ferdowsi′s Shahnameh is one of the greatest and most influential epics works of Iran and the world. This great work can be studied and researched from different aspects. In many stories of Shahnameh, a manifestation of positive psychology can be explored.
One of the most outstanding literary works in the field of Persian literature is Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, which contains characterisations, depictions of lofty and ideal human goals, references to desirable solutions to improve the quality of life, and so on. In his literary masterpiece, Ferdowsi has mentioned the human being and its positive dimensions, and has provided extensive explanations in relation to idealistic figures such as Ky Khosrow - who go beyond the usual norms of society. In this regard, the present research, by applying Seligman's psychological opinions, will examine and analyse other aspects of Shah Kiani's personality and Shahriari's and Pahlavi's actions in order to answer the following questions: a) Which of the characteristics of positivist psychology emphasised by Seligman are prominent in the character of Khosrow? b) By approaching Seligman's intellectual foundations, can Shah Kiani be considered a positive and self-fulfilling person?

Home is the first human space in which to experience the sense of space. Building a house is a cultural phenomenon, and the shape and spatial organization is strongly influenced by culture which it belongs. Neglect or lack of adequate housing with the Islamic Iranian approach that values and traditions in the face of the housing body and trampled, and people benefit from good deeds and keep its value. Concerns related to the past and failure in creating an architecture that can properly continue the development of history and architectural values and have a share in the world›s contemporary architecture And to contribute to the objectives and components of fundamental Islamic Iranian traditional architecture, Based on these concepts and applying them in a new frame necessitates the attention to today›s architecture. Home environment as an important part of community life and its cultural manifestations, from the perspective of doctor pirnia: «Home is where the residents are feeling upset and inside the house where women and children lived, should have a large variety to Do not feel fatigue . The most striking features that can be named to the Big House: - The co-existence of three types of open, semi-open and closed. - There are specific installation in any building space for the three species. - There are various whole space of the private sphere to the public at home. - The possibility of the private lives of families in all three types of space. - Flexible space to a dynamic lifestyle and behavior of human cases. Entrance, the spatial index and the adequacy of possible pause. The most familiar symbol of the entrance to the house was home, but semi-private spaces that the privacy of the home and the neighbors began to get to the entrance. Iranian house in terms of spatial variation was too high and it was seen in very diverse areas. Home is the most important criterion to evaluate the city›s physical shape and obviously no house loses everything in their meaning.and functions to consider and simply removed from the location of other city can say to set it. It is stated that the concept of home: the house is the birthplace of the hierarchy of the various functions of living need to live in a house for us is always there in tablet or elsewhere, says is settled to be space in which the concept the home of it. Home is not only asylum Drhfaz days and nights we could have it your closet because of our past, we have repeatedly opened and closed. Islamic civilization trait of the house in operation, according to the houses are situated, stillness and peace: and Allah Jllkm I settled Byvtkm (Nahl verse 80) God gave you a comfort for your home. Name the location of this attribute (inertia), ie housing on the property of the family life implies, many times in the Qur›an and the fact that houses are a symbol and a source of comfort, the architects have employed a variety of measures.The houses spatial organization closely associated with the way people and a variety of intermediate spaces simultaneously separating and connecting the spaces are. Another feature of Iranian house Fzahast ability to use the constituent elements of this empowerment happens space. In today›s society, the houses are made from the perspective and quantitative methods and qualitative aspects have not paid much attention to the people in their home environment and not recognized and Iranian calm and quiet the house is expected to, housing today is not responsive to their needs. Lack of quality in housing would undermine the sanctity of the family, adverse effects on children and families belonging to the house eliminates. The assumptions considered in this study include: 1.satisfied residents living in Islamic housing and the connections between people are as meaningful and positive. 2. components of security and comfort, privacy, use of natural factors and humility and authenticity in apartment house in improving the quality of housing today with Islamic Iran Quality importance and necessity of this research is effective, all of us are Muslims and in the community Muslim lives-wemust use the housing Iranians have which features a housing in which to achieve peace. This study, by recognizing the sensitivity and importance of housing and desirable identity, necessity, and research in this field, both in Islam and in the field of architecture and urban planning principles and principles of Islam, according to the needs and circumstances of the present essential-knows. Because the influence of Islamic values living spaces in all, a very useful and positive. The selection of this project is trying to respond to one of the country›s current problems is the lack of implementation of housing today with Iranian-Islamic criteria.It is expected, based on the principles for housing contemporary Iranian Islamic law can be extracted. The opposite can be done.presented. These principles, how Muslims live and how their relationship with the community and the surrounding area offer. According to Iran›s Culture and Islamic architecture, houses should be built in such a way that these principles into consideration and, therefore, designers should use these principles as policy design. In other words, houses an Iranian Muslim and Islamic beliefs and the result of Iranian cultural values consistent with it. The research method is a descriptive survey to determine the needs and requirements of the current situation of Iranian-Islamic architectural design has been done we do. And by distributing questionnaires among the professionals and graduates heading architecture. Qualitative research method in this study is an analysis and survey. The population in this research professionals and students of architecture in the University (martyr Rajaee Teacher Training, Tehran University of Qom, Mashhad Ferdowsi) is. Sampling randomly from among graduates and professionals with a sample size of 150 is architecture and accuracy the number of samples were confirmed using Cronbach and the size is perfect to fill the questionnaire. Current research tool in the study of the documents, the most important library resources such as books, magazines, study of written documents, regulations and is planning projects. In addition, the study of different means and methods of data collection used questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire consisted of three questions open and 41 closed questions is the main aim of the Islamic-Iranian architecture of the residential variable and discover how accurate their priorities from the perspective of university professors, experts in the field of architecture. After collecting data from sample results for the descriptive analysis in the form of charts and tables, etc. show and then using statistical analysis using software SPSS21 to a series of appropriate information to It was designed to help. The results show that to return to the Iranian- Islamic architecture pattern, in the design and implementation of modern residential complexes, four factors «comfort and safety», «privacy», «natural agents» and «humility in the house» are as shared characteristics, factors on the basis of today›s Iranian Islamic culture and apartment housing.

Although regular study of the story plots opened the new way into analysis in literature by the formalists’ studies, especially by Propp's findings, Structural narratologists after Propp, including Greimas, have tried to find a comprehensive pattern for the study of narration by removing some shortcomings of Propp's framework. This article tries to answer these questions by studying Joseph Story in The Quran according to Propp’s and Greimas' views: do Propp's findings conform to The Quran’s Stories? Can these three syntagmes offered by Greimas be found in The Quran’s stories? Analyzing Joseph Story as a sample of The Quran’s stories can decide which of these views is more efficient in the analysis of The Quran’s stories.  The text of the twelfth surah of The Quran has been examined with a descriptive-analytic method. The findings of this study show that: 1) in spite of the fact that Propp's view is capable of analyzing a lot of stories, analyzing The Quran’s stories according to this view requires basic changes in it. 2) Due to the fact that Greimas' syntagmes are not specified for a special kind of narration, they can be found in The Quran’s stories, too. 3) Considering the analysis of Joseph Story as a sample of The Quran’s stories, it can be said that Greimas' view is more efficient in the analysis of The Quran’s stories than Propp's view.

The process of language change is an inseparable feature of the inherent nature of every language. This change is so slow and delicate that it will be tangible for the native speakers only after a long time and in comparison with the past. A diachronic outlook of the language is especially beneficial here. The present research seeks to examine the transition process of (negative or positive) semantic prosody of some presently neutral Persian verb compounds into connotation. To this end, different researches on semantic prosody, connotation and their transformation in different languages and especially in English are reviewed and the same trend is traced in some verb compounds in Persian. Two corpora from two different historical periods (12th century and modern Persian) of language data were compiled and the semantic prosody of seven verb compound was established in the two. The results show that the semantic prosody of some of these compounds have changed from positive to negative over time and this negative semantic prosody in some of the compounds especially mojeb shodan (cause) is changing to negative connotation.

• Each nation has its origins in the manifestation of the beliefs and customs of its people. Literature is the mirror par excellence of each nation's past. The history of each nation or people is not discontinuous and, if a message of a text of folk literature is related to its historical realities, it will always be transmitted over time to the following periods and will be periodically reconstructed. One Thousand and One Nights- the prototype of world’s tale- has been always a remarkable source in folk literature. Throughout the history and over time, these stories have been emerged under diverse meanings and shapes. Farīd ud-Dīn Attār, the mystic poet- has taken the advantages of folk literature in order to express mystic thoughts. The existence of common signs and points as well as formal and content aspects of these tales show the inter-textual relations of both histories. It is possible to describe structural pattern of these stories by investigating their lyric structure. According to their theme, stories have different content (epic, romantic and mystic). In this research, the authors have compared two histories from Elahi-Nāmeh and One Thousand and One Nights according to Gérard Genette theoretical framework and inter textual relation by insisting on the their impressionability from folk literature.

Although Sheikhiyya sect has nothing to do with Babism and Baha’ism regarding their beliefs, presenting deviated beliefs and teachings, which were not in accordance to the established Shia doctrine, paved the way for false claims of Sayyed Ali Mohammad Shirazi. Sayyed Ali Mohammad was a follower of Sheikh Ehsayi sect and an apprentice of Sayyed Kazem Rashti, the former leader of Sheikhiyya sect, and founded so many of his primary claims on Sheikhiyya teachings and doctrine.
With respect to the importance of Sheikh Ahmad Ehsayi and Sayyed Kazem Rashti’s claims in founding the primary doctrine of Babism, Mirza Hosseinali Nouri, known as ‘Baha Allah’, calls them as ‘Nourin Nirin’ and claims they are his prophets and Babism missionaries. In fact, the first followers of Babism were those who believed in Sheikhiyya.
During the next 6 years since the beginning of Babism until the execution of its leader in Iran, some events such as the uprising in Tabarsi Castle as well as some upheaval in Zanjan and Tabriz took place which led to the execution of Bab and his followers. This sect, since its early days in Qajar period has been spread in Iran and some other regions in the world. Baha’ism was founded by Baha Allah and was promoted and reformed by Abd al-Baha and Shoqi Efendi.
Despite its idealistic propaganda, Baha’ism acts as an awkward and oppressing sect and like any other sect, all its followers serve to the purpose of its founding members and leaders.

This paper aims to measure the extent of mark-up and monopoly pricing in different sub sectors of the Iranian manufacturing. We measure annually the degree of monopoly pricing and mark-up for sub sectors over the period from 1959 to 2003. A panel data approach is developed and applied to gauge the mark-up and degree of monopoly pricing The results show that in four sub sectors, including chemical, non-ferrous metals, basic metals and machinery, these kinds of pricing are dominated and it is also prevalent in other sub sectors. Capital intensity and increase in the number of firms in each sector cause a reduction in mark-up while trade liberalization leads to an increase in productivity. The experience of liberalization in Iran over a short period of time confirms that mark-up is reduced, productivity is increased and capital intensity is decreased.

Abstract:
'The present study examines the women's functions in the Kohkiluyeh-and-Boyer-Ahmad's folk tales. Myths have long played a significant role in the preservation of ancient cultural heritage among all nations and societies, so the legends of the people of Kohkiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad are not exception. In the structure of these stories, women, like the driving force of the events, have had a significant role in the ups and downs, and protagonist and antagonist characters.  

Keywords: Kohkiluyeh-and-Boyer-Ahmad legends; Propp's morphology; women's functions; women's social status.
‌‌‌Research background
In Iran, in addition to books such as Iranian Tales by Anjavi Shirazi, Iranian Folk Tales by Zekouti, Mashdi Galin Khanum by Saten, Epistemology of Magic Legends by Khadish, Iranian Folk Literature by Mahjoub, etc., other individual research articles have been conducted, such as The morphology of romantic anecdotes, the role of women in the millennial night based on the narrative theory of Mashhadi and Meqdadi's props, the image and position of women in Samak Ayar and Darabnameh by Karami and Hesampour, the morphology of Isfahan's folk tales by Hooman Shakeri Bakhtiari written by Hatampour and Mahmoudi, Image of a woman in Gilan folk tales by Heydari and Ismailzadeh, illustration of women in Persian folk tales by Shasani and a critique on the focus of female heroes in folk tales by Khadish. Needless to say, no books, treatises, or articles on Kohkiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad's folk tales have been written so far. Myths are divided into two categories in terms of sari and current as living legends and the dead (Daryabandari, 2001, p. 20).
Aims, questions, assumptions
The legends of Kohkiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad are the most vivid and dynamic legends that are still alive. Given the importance of these stories, the authors tried to figure out the functions of women through raising the following questions:

 - What is the role of women in the structure of stories and what role do they play in mobilizing the driving force of the stories?

 - Have the positive or negative self-actions of women in the course of the story had profound cultural and social effects?

To answer the above mentioned questions, one hundred and thirty folk tales were recorded, written and studied.
Discussion
Folk tales are an important part of the cultural heritage, so its protection is of great importance. One of the reasons for this value and credibility is the fact that it has been passed down by ordinary people and the lower classes of the society, and that it has remained among a generation that may or may not be alive for a long time. In addition, through these legends, one can become aware of the extent of their dissemination and similarities between each of them, and also of the common events between nations (Ulrich Marzelf, 1997, p. 15). Because mythological stories, folklore, and legends are the spiritual heritage of any nation, researchers such as Campbell, Mircea, Strauss, and others have paid special attention to them. Some researchers also believe that myths are diverse phenomena that cannot be explored at once (Propp, 2013, p. 25). However, some other scholars believe that not only much attention has been paid to folklore and popular literature in general, but it is also has been viewed with contempt (Sipak, 2005, p. 12).
 The villainous character of the story may be a dragon, a demon, a thief, a witch, a zenith, a giant, a leopard, or a demon. Every story begins with an evil or a need and deficiency. Women having an important role in the story, can take control of the course of the story as far as their role-playing allows, determine the direction and even the end of the story. When women have the role of a villain, they try as hard as they can to play the role well, such as the one in The Legend of the Dal Daughter, Gole Nar Duneh Anar (Hatati), Shah Maran (Old Woman), Demon and Girl (stepmother), Yellow Calf (stepmother), Parijan (stepmother), Ali Mishza (King's wife), Kachalak (stepmother), etc. Whenever they enter the story in the role of a hero, they try to achieve their goal as much as they can such as the one in the legends of Seven Brothers and One Sister, Inevitable Girl, Moon TT, and Stepmother.

The character and role-playing of women in the structural analysis is very important from the cultural and social point of view, as the two categories of women are in opposition to each other (in one respect) and overlapping (in other respects). Positive characters include heroes, benefactors, and helpers who are influential in the community, and against them, negative characters such as villains, stepmothers, false heroes, and witches are considered as evil and disliked. Negative personality tends to be positive; in other words, either she does not have the tools to do so, or the society does not accept him because of his behavioral background, social status, ugly appearance, and lack of self-confidence. Therefore, the hero, his position, his social and class status are envied. As a result, she tries to replace him by removing or imitating the hero. In general, these factors lead to evil and personal and social misconduct. The purpose of such stories is to expand the characteristics of the female heroes, including perfectionism, loftiness, self-sacrifice, altruism and self-help, lovemaking, nature, love, hard work, and responsibility. It is patience and perseverance, not evil traits and behaviors, or a false hero which is to be expanded.

Conclusion

In Kohkiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad's stories, in general, women play the roles of the mother (44 cases), stepmother (11 cases), wife (69 cases), old woman (17 cases), maid (3 cases) and daughter (58 cases). Their selfishness was observed in seven evil roles (24 cases), hero (17 cases), false hero (4 cases), helper (20 cases), benefactor (8 cases), princess (12 cases) and emissary owner (2 cases), which were evident in the stories under investigation.
