Abstract
Background & Aims: Health tourism, also known as medical tourism or medical travel, refers to travel to another country or region to receive medical treatment, procedures or services. The concept of health tourism has gained popularity in recent years due to rising healthcare costs in developed countries, the availability of high-quality medical facilities in developing countries, and the ease of international travel. Health tourism can provide patients access to high quality medical treatments, reduce healthcare costs and improve their quality of life. However, it is important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of health tourism before deciding to travel for medical treatment. Patients should research the treatment facility and provider and ensure appropriate health insurance coverage prior to travel. In the meantime, one of the aspects investigated in the fields of health tourism has been the behavior of consumers of these services, as well as the effects of social networks on this behavior. One of the studied cases is in the field of consumer behavior in relation to social networks, which has been studied in various researches in recent years. In fact, social networks are one of the most used areas in recent years of social networks, which have greatly occupied various markets. In recent years, the amount of use of social networks in Iran has increased so much that the scope of using these networks has led to political debates and influencing the results of elections. In this research, considering the increasing role of social networks, its impact on health tourism has been investigated from the point of view of consumers of medical services in the form of medical tourists.
Methods: In terms of research methodology, the current research is applied, survey and correlation research. The statistical population of this research includes all social network users in medical centers providing health tourism services in Tehran. The size of the statistical population was 850 people during the study period, and using the Cochran formula, the sample size was determined to be 256 people. In order to measure the research variables, a questionnaire was used. The validity of this tool has been examined through construct validity, and reliability has been examined and confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. In the analysis method section, first the measurement model was formed and the fit of the model was examined based on the indicators. Finally, based on the structural modeling method, the relationships between the research variables were examined and the results were presented. Amos software is used in this section.
Results: The results showed that the amount and type of use of social networks had a significant effect on the behavior before, during and after the use of health tourism services.
Conclusion: One of the ways social media can influence health tourism is by giving patients access to information about medical facilities and doctors in other countries. Patients can read reviews, watch videos and connect with others who have undergone similar treatments. This can help them make informed decisions about where to go for treatment and what to expect when they get there.
Another way social media can influence health tourism is by providing a platform for medical professionals to share their expertise and build their reputation. Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers can use social media to showcase their skills, share educational content, and interact with patients and other professionals in their field. This can help them attract patients from other countries who are looking for quality care. On the other hand, social media can also have negative effects on health tourism. For example, false or misleading information can spread quickly on social media, which can lead to patients making poor decisions about where to seek treatment. In addition, some medical facilities and doctors may use social media to promote themselves in unethical ways, such as exaggerating the benefits of their treatments or making false claims about their qualifications. As a result, social media and health tourism are two distinct concepts that can interact in different ways. While social media can give patients access to valuable information and help medical professionals build their reputation, it can also pose risks for patients seeking accurate and reliable information about treatments and medical facilities in other countries. The relationship between the type and amount of use of social networks and the behavior of health tourists before, during and after the use of medical services was investigated. The results have shown that social networks can have a positive and direct effect on the behavior of consumers of health tourism services.

Abstract
Background & Aims: Naturally, societies go through various crises during their historical life. Crises that are sometimes the result of human actions and sometimes occur without human will like natural disasters, but they leave a deep impact on daily life and sometimes even on the history of that border and region. In any case, when society faces these crises, depending on its understanding of them as well as its time conditions, it gives practical answers to that crisis. This answer can be studied and represented in most of the collective and social behaviors of members of the society as well as the government of the men of that society. The media, whether official media or social media are currently the best sources to obtain the conversations that are going on at the official level (such as news agencies) and unofficial (such as social media) in society. When a crisis is perceived by people, they quickly talk about it on social networks, and share their opinions and analysis, and in this way, society reflects its feelings and attitudes on the media platform of social networks. Today, the official media have also strengthened their bases in social networks and publish their messages on the same platform where people communicate with each other. create their personal pages and collective groups, the number of these messages is increasing in a very wide way. Therefore, nowadays it is impossible to study all messages or even a significant percentage of messages by one researcher or even one research team. Therefore, the use of intelligent data mining analytical methods with the help of powerful processing machines has become one of the most important research methods in today's world. Understanding what stages the society has gone through when facing a crisis helps to understand the "dynamic model of society's behavior and discourse" in that crisis. Theoretically, this type of analysis is new in the space of media analysis, and the aspects of which this article deals with the natural crisis of Corona are new and of course very practical. The combined use of artificial intelligence and cognitive science in media analysis has a lot of room for growth and this article can encourage interdisciplinary research and theoretical activities in this field. From a practical point of view, the results of this article will be very useful and practical for all those who are involved in macro policy-making, media people, and also related business owners. The presentation of the results and achievements of this research can lead to the demands of the stakeholders, but during the time of the research and when its achievements were revealed, based on the request of the National Corona Headquarters and relevant decision-making institutions in the country, consultations were given based on the achievements. It was their request. One of the goals of this article is to identify the dynamics of changing feelings and attitudes of social media users in the face of natural crises by using artificial intelligence in the face of the crisis caused by Corona and also to introduce the dynamics of changing feelings and attitudes of the Iranian society in the face of the Corona crisis to use And use in decision-making, policy-making, and social crisis management can be mentioned.

Abstract
Background & Aims: In recent years, the use of virtual social networks has increased among Iranians, especially teenagers. Virtual social space refers to a space that enables social interactions between different cultures through various new technologies, regardless of time and place. The use of virtual social networks plays an important role in modeling people's lifestyles and is linked with key categories such as consumption, identity, taste, leisure time, and body management, in a way that turns the simplest issues into the most complex ones. Subjects communicate. On the other hand, one of the most important aspects of the mental development of teenagers is body image. Body image is one of the main elements that make up the personality of every person and is related to the perception and feeling that a person has about his body. Body image is a person's feeling about the body and a mental visualization of his physical appearance. Because girls have more dissatisfaction with their mental image of their body compared to boys, it is very important to investigate this component in girls. In addition, since the emergence of social networks, researchers' interest in investigating the effect of using social networks on people's well-being has increased. One of the variables that is considered as a determinant of well-being is participation in sports activities. Sports is considered a safe support for teenagers so that they can achieve ultimate human growth and perfection under its protection. Physical education is effective in reducing individual and social incompatibilities reducing psychological pressures and establishing the psychological balance of the organism. Evidence suggests that young athletic participants have better habits than non-athletes. Social networks are one of the places where young people, especially teenagers, spend a lot of time and have the most effectiveness from it, while sports activities in today's world despite unhealthy food plans and inactivity Youth has become one of the vital issues that cannot be ignored. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to predict the trend toward virtual social networks based on the perception of the body and sports participation in adolescent girls in Shiraz.
Methods: The statistical population of this descriptive-correlation study included all female students of the second secondary level in Se Shiraz district in the academic year of 1402-1403, which according to the statistics were 2652 people. 350 people were selected using the Morgan table and stratified random sampling method. The data collection tools included the participation questionnaire in long virtual social networks (2019), the perception of the body (1997), and sports participation by Gill et al. (1983). Data analysis was done using the statistical method of Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression through SPSS version 24 software.
Results: The results obtained from the statistical analysis indicated that the tendency to social networks of teenage girls is predicted based on sports participation and body image, between sports participation and body image with a tendency to There is a positive and significant relationship between social networks in teenage girls.
Conclusion: In recent years, the presence of girls in the world of sports has increased compared to the past and many opportunities have been provided for them in this field. In this regard, social networks play a significant role in influencing the public opinion of society regarding the success of female athletes and encouraging girls to do sports activities. Social networks are a set of programs based on the Internet that allow users to create and exchange information, and now they are an integral part of the activities related to the broadcasting and dissemination of sports programs and a repeatable and multi-dimensional experience for fans of sports programs. On the other hand, the capabilities of social networks have made students use this space to learn more and share information to create connections. In other words, social networks have created a space for students and users who can use it to build their social capital together and maintain it. Nevertheless, social networks in Iran have paid less attention to Iranian female athletes and focused more on men's sports activities. In general, the results of this research show that sports participation and body image in teenage girls are significantly related to the tendency to use social networks and predict this tendency. The positive and significant relationship between these variables indicates that girls who are more involved in sports activities and have a positive image of their bodies are more likely to show a tendency towards social networks. This relationship may be due to the impact of social networks on increasing the motivation for physical activities, as well as modeling body-related images and messages on these platforms. Therefore, social networks can play a positive role in encouraging teenagers to exercise and create a positive attitude towards the body; however, it is necessary to guide their use in a balanced and informed manner.
