Abstract
Aim: Family representation in the media expresses dominant discourses about its structure and patterns, and the media can create, confirm, or modify these discourses. This article looks at how family rules, structures, and patterns have evolved over the past few decades, and how cinema has played a role in this transformation and discourse, and in what ways, tools, as well as the changes in the family's current and cultural structure are coded for. Methods: Because we deal with animated images, music and words as media texts, we use a qualitative approach with semiotic approach to examine visual cues in selected cinematic films. Purpose: The purpose of this comparative study was to compare the two decades of Iranian cinema in the 70s and 90s with a focus on Leila (Dariush Mehrjui, 1996) and Ice Age (Mostafa Kiaei, 2014). Social and ideological cinematic films in the course of the last two decades from 1970 to 1996 shown that the context of fundamental changes in the family structure and its constituent components such as rules, boundaries, roles and patterns of communication has been identified. Conclusion: The findings confirm that changes from technical to social and ideological codes have made serious changes, and these factors have caused the family structure to collapse.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a strategic model in relation to the factors threatening the mental health and family structure of employees of the subsidiary staff of oil company, with emphasis on the focus of the third type of change. Methods: In this study, a qualitative approach and grounded theory methodology was used. The statistical population included all subsidiary personnel of South Zagros Oil Company and Falat Ghareh. Targeted sampling was started from those who had information about the subject. Then, considering the direction of information, the theoretical sampling continued until theoretical development and saturation was achieved. The sample size was closely related to the saturation level. Data were collected through in-depth, qualitative semi-structured interviews. In addition to the interview, the researchers also collected information by forming a focal group. In this study, analysis of three types of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding was used. Findings: After three-step coding, 74 initial codes, 21 axial codes and final 5 nuclear codes were obtained. The final codes of the research were: job and organizational strategies, family strategies, personal and family functionalism, individual strategies, and metaphysics; the last three codes were based on type-three changes. Conclusion: The model obtained from the results of this study included all three types of changes of type one, type two, and type three, which can eventually be used as a complete reference for developing strategies to deal with mental health threats as an individual dimension, and with family structure as an interpersonal dimention, for the oil company’s satellite personnel.
