NFTs, unique digital assets built on blockchain technology, have sparked a revolution in art ownership, identity verification, and creative expression. Through comprehensive exploration of its significance, challenges, and opportunities, this study demonstrates how NFTs have democratized art ownership, provided global recognition to artists of diverse backgrounds, and simultaneously granted direct access to collectors. A significant driving force behind the success of this blockchain technology lies in its investment potential. Social media platforms have transformed into virtual galleries, effectively amplifying artists' voices, enhancing societal insights and cultural levels, and shedding light on the global visibility of NFT projects. Case studies of successful NFT collaborations underscore the coexistence between NFTs and social media, highlighting the potential of both mediums in shaping the future of art and creativity. While acknowledging concerns such as copyright issues and environmental impacts, this article underscores the need for responsible actions and ongoing research to ensure a sustainable and pervasive future for NFTs in the art world.

Employing a comprehensive experimental approach, professional actors of diverse backgrounds utilized modafinil to uncover its effects on sustained attention, working memory, creativity, emotional recognition, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence. The findings reveal significant improvements in attention accuracy, working memory precision, heightened creative output, emotional recognition acuity, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence within the modafinil group when compared to the placebo. These effects stem from the modulation of neural chemical pathways governing attention, memory, emotional processing, and cognitive flexibility by modafinil. The results affirm modafinil as a cognitive enhancer for actors, optimizing their executive intelligence while heightening ethical considerations and potential challenges. This exploration of modafinil's cognitive effects in the realm of acting contributes valuable insights to cognitive enhancement research and paves the way for the integration of pharmacological interventions in creative professions.

Through theoretical analysis and empirical investigation, the research emphasizes the significance of social damage prevention and introduces Social Theater as a promising approach. Social Theater interventions empower individuals, challenge dominant narratives, foster critical awareness, and promote solidarity. The findings demonstrate the impact of Social Theater in preventing social issues, enhancing individual agency, and cultivating a sense of collective responsibility. Integrating Social Theater into broader social and educational policies becomes crucial for addressing social inequalities and promoting social and political transformations in Iran.

It examines the validity of Jenkins' theory by focusing on the ways in which audiences actively engage in participating and shaping narratives within the extensive multimedia ecosystem of this series. Through a comprehensive mixedmethod research approach that combines previous studies and content analysis, it reveals patterns, themes, and compelling insights related to audience participation. The findings highlight the prevalence of fan-generated content, the significance of online media, and the transformative power of immersive experiences in fostering a participatory culture. By aligning these findings with Jenkins' theory, it underscores the active role of audiences as collaborators in shaping narratives and challenges traditional notions of passive consumption. This study contributes to understanding audience participation in multimedia storytelling and emphasizes the importance of cultivating a participatory culture in media perspectives. It offers valuable insights for media creators, researchers, and practitioners, encouraging them to actively involve audiences in the storytelling process and unlock the full potential of participatory narratives. This article employs qualitative analysis and library research methods to analyze the subjects.

By delving into the core principles of Daoist philosophy and the poetic attributes of Rumi, it becomes apparent how Rumi's poetry reflects effortless action, submission to the divine, and resonance with the natural flow of life. Exploring the dual imagery in Rumi's poetry, such as light and darkness, reveals the interplay of complementary forces and mirrors the balance of Yin and Yang. Furthermore, Rumi's spiritual journey and his quest for self-realization resonate with the essence of the Dao as the ultimate truth and the path to enlightenment. Through comprehensive analysis of selected poems, recurring patterns and themes paralleling Daoist concepts are identified, exemplifying the synchronization between Daoist wisdom and Rumi's poetic insight. This comparative study not only highlights profound connections between different philosophical and poetic traditions but also invites further inquiry into the universality of spiritual wisdom and the transcultural nature of poetic expression.
