چکیدهConcentration on social messengers in cyberspace, has dominated the part of dominant audience of media consumption in the present era. A brief analysis of the communication pattern of users in social messengers shows the usual use of emoji, so that fewer virtual conversations can be found without emoji. The incorrect, vague, and multiple use of emoji, especially in cultures other than their productive culture, raised the question in the minds of the writers about what is the origin of this phenomenon. And how did the cultural difference between the emoji and its consumer use affect the realization of such a phenomenon? In order to address this concern, the main question of the article is that what are the referents and concepts explicit and implicit of social messengers and whether their influence on the cultural and value system of the Western world can be verified?This paper, using the methodology of semiotics and using fellowship and paradigmatic technique, has explored the explicit and implicit cultural meanings derived from selected emoji (23 emoji) in three parts: family, gender, and language. The findings of this paper show that the dominant cultural approach to emoji is pluralism and cultural relativism deriving from modernism and postmodernism. Naturally, these two approaches have led to phenomena such as cultural vacuum, cultural differences, cultural contradictions, cultural confrontation, cultural ambiguity, and cultural dissemination in consumers and audiences. Last, the emphasis is on adopting an active approach by countries to creating native emoji and in line with their culture.

Population ageing in both developed and developing communities is increasing significantly due to resources such as improvement in healthcare and welfare, and decreasing of the birth rate. This group needs more care (medical or mental) that increases medical expenditures for governments, families and insurance institution, so policies that are related to the health of older adults are becoming more essential.With the rise of new media, more people became information literate. This great change provided an opportunity for societies to use new technology to cure, reinforce and empower elderly people. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more popular among older adults so a great number of applications have been written based on favorite operating systems (e.g. IOS and Android) for this increasing population. This study provided an overview of the 4 most popular Iranian health apps for the elderly and appraised each app’s usability and serviceability and communicational capability for their immediate audiences. Also, it tried to find out whether these apps are based on reinforcing elderly or management of diseases. Data came from content analysis of health and education apps in the Iranian mobile market. The main result of study is that Iranian healthcare mobile apps are more based on the treatment of diseases rather than reinforcing and empowering elderly. Another conclusion is that these apps try to communicate with relatives, family members or any other person who cares elderly, instead of communicating with older adults directly. Additionally, they are not technically applicable to the elderly.
