Methods: This research is applied in terms of purpose and nature and a descriptive correlation based on structural equation modeling in terms of data collection province in 2021-2022 with a number of 4450 people. According to Krejcie & Morgan's table, 351 people were selected as a sample through the proportional stratified random sampling method. To measure the research variables, the standard questionnaire of students' attitudes towards e-learning, Akbar (2013), researcher-made system quality questionnaire, Sharon Lawson's standard knowledge management questionnaire (2003), researcher-made e-learning acceptance questionnaire, and the standard questionnaire of the actual use of the e-learning system (Akbar, 2013) were used. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by content and structure validity methods (confirmatory factor analysis) and respectively, the reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0.89, 0.79, 0.94, 0.82, and 0.86 was estimated and confirmed. Data were analyzed at two levels of descriptive and inferential (structural equations) using SPSS 24 and Lisrel 8.8 software. Findings: The results indicate that among the variables of Students' Attitudes with acceptance of e-learning (β=0.52), System quality with acceptance of e-learning (β=0.89), knowledge management with acceptance of e-learning (β=0.67) and acceptance of e-learning with real use of the system (β=0.17) There is a positive and significant causal relationship. Students' Attitudes, System quality, and knowledge management mediate e-learning acceptance and indirectly affect the actual use of the e-learning system. Therefore, the mediating effect of e-learning acceptance in this study was confirmed. Conclusions: According to the findings of this study, it can be seen that an increase in students 'attitudes, system quality, knowledge management, and acceptance of e-learning scores will be associated with an increase in students' e-learning usage behavior. According to the research findings, policymakers and university administrators are suggested to prepare the ground for real use and acceptance of e-learning in the learning process of Farhangian University by holding workshops and training courses while paying attention to the variables of the present research.

Methods: This research was conducted with a systematic review method based on the list presented in the research of Xu, Kang & Song (2015). For this purpose, studies in the field of query formulation in children and adolescents were identified in Persian databases and reliable English databases. Finally, 2 Persian and 45 English studies were selected to do the final review and answer the research questions. Findings: The results showed that in the process of formulating the search query of children and teenagers, poor spelling, lack of typing skills, low domain knowledge, limited vocabulary, low cognitive ability, lack of skill in evaluating and selecting the retrieved results, relying on overview search, using natural language keywords, inability to use logical operators, weakness in re-formulating queries, low ability in complex tasks are the most important obstacles and problems faced by children and teenagers in formulating search queries. Designing a suitable user interface for children and teenagers by using visual and audio interfaces, spelling control tools, and query suggestions and teaching children and teenagers how to use the user interface and formulating search queries are presented as solutions to remove the obstacles in formulating search queries. Conclusions: Considering the extensive studies that have been conducted in the field of search query formulation in children and adolescents worldwide, and considering the linguistic, cultural, and media literacy differences of Iranian children and adolescents, it is necessary to conduct these studies in Iran as well. It seems that before teaching the use of user interfaces and digital media literacy to this group, it is essential to know the query formulation behavior of Iranian children.

The purpose of this research is to design and explain the criteria of the geography map of nostalgia based on the information management of social networks with a qualitative approach, based on the structures of "characteristics of social networks for digital nostalgia"; "Elements of past information retrieval for recalling memories"; "Individual characteristics of social network users" are: "nostalgic experience-centric classification"; and "nostalgia based on user's geographic location". Methods: The research method of this article is the qualitative analysis based on content analysis and using MAXQDA software. Here, content analysis is a method of taking and understanding seemingly unrelated information and systematically observing people, interactions, and situations. The studied population can be divided into three general groups: the first group includes university professors who have an opinion in the subject area (academic experts); The second group includes professionals working in businesses active in the field of marketing based on social networks (industry experts); And the third group including Iranian users in Instagram, Facebook and Twitter social networks (public stakeholders) was categorized. The sampling method in this research is the snowball technique. In order to carry out the qualitative part of the research, the opinions of 15 experts were collected in the form of interviews in the spring of 2021. Findings: Based on the results of this research, the criteria of the national map of the geography of nostalgia based on the information management of social networks are: characteristics of social networks for digital nostalgia; Elements of past information retrieval to recall memories; Individual characteristics of social network users; Nostalgia based on the geographic location of the user and the central classification of the nostalgic experience. One of the main results of this research is that the number of sharing nostalgia content with the highest frequency in the characteristics of social networks for digital nostalgia; Retrieval of past information was determined based on repetition with the highest frequency in the elements of retrieving past information to recall memories and the user's age factor with the highest frequency in the individual characteristics of social network users. Conclusions: According to the findings of this research, according to the nostalgic content in social networks, it can be said that the geography of nostalgia is one of the main topics in the field of sociology and understanding people's interests and habits. The concept of the geography of nostalgia has had important effects on human emotional and experimental behavior and knowledge, and many science researchers believe that this concept has an inescapable effect on the epistemological patterns of societies. Many of the human emotions that affect humans in the form of concepts such as longing, nostalgia and homesickness have a special relationship with the concept of the geography of nostalgia and geographical identity. How geographic identity can control human behavior and emotions in these fields is one of the main results of this research. Findings related to the number of hits of nostalgia content; the number of shares of nostalgia content; The number of liking nostalgia content, with the research results of Bhattacharya, 2020 and Cruzado, et al. 2020 are aligned and the findings related to the user's gender factor; User age factor; The factor of user education, with the results of the researches of Gu, 2021, Wulf, et al. 2018 and Bhattacharya, 2020 is logical. Finally, one of the main discussions in the research is the division of nostalgia in the Iranian user community, which is compiled in the form of Iranian cultural generations.

The aim of the current research is to identify the causal factors affecting the online sales smart contract and its consequences using a systematic review. Methods: A systematic review was used in this research. This method is one of the types of qualitative research methods that are used to investigate phenomena and identify categories based on research literature. The statistical population of the research includes all research articles obtained from quantitative and qualitative studies regarding smart contracts and smart contracts in both Persian and English languages. With the aim of identifying the factors affecting the smart sales contract and its consequences, finally, 30 articles related to the research topic in the period from 2009 to 2022 in Farsi and English were selected and studied with a systematic review approach, and the text of the articles was based on the application of the Grounded Theory approach and based on the MaxQda software, central and selective coding were performed and analyzed. Reliability and Cohen's kappa coefficient were used as a measure to replace validity and reliability. Findings: By analyzing the collected articles, 678 English and Farsi articles were identified in the coding stage, and after scientific investigations, 94 articles related to the research topic were categorized, and finally 30 articles were included. In the continuation of the data analysis process, the concepts were categorized into six categories of the central phenomenon, causal conditions, background conditions, intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences through the central coding. The current research led to the presentation of a paradigm model called online sales smart contract and its consequences using a systematic review. Conclusions: Online sales smart contracts are programs that are stored on the blockchain and are executed when predetermined conditions are met. They are typically used to automate the execution of an agreement so that all participants can be assured of the outcome immediately without the intervention of an intermediary or wasted time. They can also automate a workflow and trigger the next action when conditions are met. Smart sales contracts are efficient because they have completely solved the issue of trust. The smart sales contract uses blockchain to confirm, validate, record, and enforce the terms agreed between the parties The presented model clearly defines the effective causal factors of establishing an online smart seller and its consequences, and leading companies can use this proposed model in their online sales on the blockchain platform. Purpose: The online sales smart contract is a protocol that is prepared to set up an electronic smart agreement between the buyer and the seller and is concluded and executed automatically based on the information related to the terms of the contract. The aim of the current research is to identify the causal factors affecting the online sales smart contract and its consequences using a systematic review. Methods: A systematic review was used in this research. This method is one of the types of qualitative research methods that are used to investigate phenomena and identify categories based on research literature.

With the aim of identifying the factors affecting the smart sales contract and its consequences, finally, 30 articles related to the research topic in the period from 2009 to 2022 in Farsi and English were selected and studied with a systematic review approach, and the text of the articles was based on the application of the Grounded Theory approach and based on the MaxQda software, central and selective coding were performed and analyzed. Reliability and Cohen's kappa coefficient were used as a measure to replace validity and reliability. Findings: By analyzing the collected articles, 678 English and Farsi articles were identified in the coding stage, and after scientific investigations, 94 articles related to the research topic were categorized, and finally 30 articles were included. In the continuation of the data analysis process, the concepts were categorized into six categories of the central phenomenon, causal conditions, background conditions, intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences through the central coding. The current research led to the presentation of a paradigm model called online sales smart contract and its consequences using a systematic review. Conclusions: Online sales smart contracts are programs that are stored on the blockchain and are executed when predetermined conditions are met. They are typically used to automate the execution of an agreement so that all participants can be assured of the outcome immediately without the intervention of an intermediary or wasted time. They can also automate a workflow and trigger the next action when conditions are met. Smart sales contracts are efficient because they have completely solved the issue of trust. The smart sales contract uses blockchain to confirm, validate, record, and enforce the terms agreed between the parties The presented model clearly defines the effective causal factors of establishing an online smart seller and its consequences, and leading companies can use this proposed model in their online sales on the blockchain platform.

The present research emphasized the Know Your Customer process, besides, the accuracy of input and output data of the concerning organization considering the task-based nature of the organization. The present research described the importance of the KYC process in an organization, especially in the Social Security Organization in Iran. Therefore, it proposed Blockchain technology as a facilitator of this process. Methods: This is qualitative research. It was carried out based on actor-network theory. Following the grounded theory, the perception of the interviewed participants was analyzed concerning the manner, causes, strategies, basis, and consequences of the application of Blockchain technology in an organization. Due to the temporal and spatial limitations of the research and to improve its qualitative value, the Social Security Organization, which is a social insurance company, was selected together with another important state organization as a case study. The data were collected through complete observation and semi-structured interviews. The target population included professional experts and the heads of the Social Security Organization plus experts in the field of Blockchain. The snowball sampling was continued to obtain adequate theoretical saturation (n=30 experts). Findings: The process of implementing and replacing this technology with the current system encountered several intervening factors such as the management, adjustment of human resources, financial resources, extra-organizational actors, and organizational culture. These factors should be taken into considerable consideration in the process of application of the technology. Conclusions: Blockchain technology (as the main network in the actor-network approach) enjoys unique features that can provide a desirable condition to verify the accuracy of the input and output data of the organization, especially in the field of the KYC process. The extra-organizational actors, which do not operate under the control of the organization, are quite effective when developing this approach. Utilizing smart contracts (as the actor-network theory connectors) and replacing them with the current contract systems used in organizations are among the important applications of this technology. The unique features of Blockchain technology can cause considerable changes in the process of KYC. These changes are often positive and carried out to reduce the risk of fraud, clarify the flaw of information, reduce the concentration, and increase the speed of rendering services and De-bureaucracy. However, they present the organization with challenges such as concerns for developing integrity, cost of establishment, the difficulty of modification of the input information, and the time-consuming nature of educating customers.

Journal Article 2020 11 29 Purpose: Risk assessment according to ISO 31000 standard is a systematic and logical process that includes identification, analysis and measurement. The risk identification process involves determining the type and source of potential risks. Risk analysis involves determining the estimated level of risks in terms of indices such as the probability and potential consequences of the risk. The measurement involves comparing the estimated levels of risks with respect to the analysis criteria and eventually the risk ranking. The present study aims to assess (identify, analyze and measure) the risks of professional expertise of human resources at digital libraries according to ISO 31000 standard. Methods: The present research is an applied nature and to implement it, survey and analytic methods have been applied with Shannon Entropy to weight risks and fuzzy TOPSIS to evaluate them. Primarily the most important risks were identified using the relevant resources and the results of previous researches, a process which led to the formulation of a questionnaire consisting of 38 items. First the demographic characteristics were described and the central statistical indices (mean and median) as well as the dispersion index (standard deviation) were examined. Next, using the weighted average index to the criteria defined by Shannon's entropy method and their application in TOPSIS software, positive and negative ideal options were determined. In the risk assessment stage, risks were prioritized by comparing the distance of each one from the positive and negative ideal options. The content validity and reliability equals 0.955 according to Cronbach's alpha test. Findings: 18 professional expertise risks were identified. Risk of having the necessary knowledge about semantic web languages and tools with the minimum distance from the positive ideal point by the value (0.0103) and the maximum distance from the negative ideal point by the value (0.104), and the maximum coefficient close to (0.9103) ranked first. It means that this risk has the closest distance to the ideal positive point and is the most important. Risk of employees' ability to provide digital reference services ranked 18th with the minimum distance from the negative ideal (0.0114) and the maximum distance from the positive ideal (0/1043), and the minimum proximity coefficient (0.0982). That is, it has the maximum distance from the positive ideal option and is the least important. Conclusions: Among the 18 risks of professional expertise of human resources at digital libraries identified, the risk of "having the necessary knowledge about semantic web languages and tools" is the first priority. This reveals that the human resources of academic digital libraries are not in a good position in terms of up-to-date knowledge and modern information technologies and the semantic web that underlies ontologies and linked data, etc. Purpose: Risk assessment according to ISO 31000 standard is a systematic and logical process that includes identification, analysis and measurement.

Methods: The research method is the type of correlation studies and the modeling of structural equations. The statistical population of this study included all 180 public librarians of Kermanshah province. Using stratified random sampling, 122 people were selected as the sample size based on the Cochran formula. Spector's Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (1999), Allen & Meyer's Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (1990), and the revised Victor and Cullen's Questionnaire (1988) were used. To test the hypotheses, structural equation modeling and correlation coefficient tests, simple linear regression, and the Seville test were used with SPSS software. Findings: The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between the job satisfaction of public library librarians and their understanding of the ethical climate. The state of job satisfaction, organizational commitment and ethical climate is more than average at the public libraries in Kermanshah province. Also, the more job satisfaction librarians of public libraries have, the more commitment they will have to their organization, and public library officials should pay more attention to this issue. High organizational commitment increases the effect of job satisfaction on ethical climate. Finally, organizational commitment has an effect on the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational climate and makes the relationship between these two variables stronger. Conclusions: Ethical climate and recognition of ethical values in the organization lead to ethical behaviors. Furthermore, ethical climate plays a fundamental role in receiving organizational rewards and benefits, implementing organizational procedures and decisions, dealings, and interactions. Employees who find high satisfaction and commitment in the organization, their understanding of the ethical climate in the organization increases. The results of the structural equation analysis test on the proposed research model showed that the model had a good and acceptable fit and all paths (hypotheses) were confirmed with high confidence. The results showed that if the librarians have job satisfaction, they can have a positive understanding of the ethical climate in the library, spend more time there and show a high commitment to performing their duties.

Methods: This research is applied in terms of purpose, and in terms of type of research, it is mixed exploratory, and in terms of research method, it is research-based on grounded theory. For the purpose of the research, all 2800 faculty members of Islamic Azad University (IAU) in the country were studied. To determine the sample size (397 people), a multi-stage sampling method and Cochran's sample size formula were used. In this research, structured interviews and electronic questionnaires were used as research tools in two qualitative and qualitative stages. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, the interview with the experts continued until the theoretical adequacy. The pattern of knowledge-sharing behavior was extracted from the data of the qualitative phase of the research. Also, the research employed structural equations (Partial Least Square Model) to analyze the research data, using smartPLS software. Findings: The research findings indicated that there were six effective components connected with the exploratory pattern of knowledge-sharing behavior, which are given below in order of priority: 1. Principal Component; the pivotal component with the factor of organizational maturity level, 2. Causal Conditions; including the management and organizational factors, 3. Strategies; including the factors affecting the development of job security and the improvement of the level of trust across organizations and organizational communication network, 4. Background Conditions; including organizational culture and technological infrastructures 5. Intervening Conditions, including the enhancement of workforce skills, and 6. Consequences. These include the factors affecting the efficiency of human resources and the development of occupational engagement. Similarly, the research results indicated that both the management factor and the organizational factors, as the dual elements of the component causal conditions, influenced the organizational maturity development process. This is because the T-statistic value given the effectiveness of the management factors and the path coefficient equaled 3.666 and 0.21, respectively, which is indicative of the direct positive effects of the management factors on organizational maturity. The organizational factors affected the maturity process directly and positively since the T-statistic value was 6.334 going beyond the absolute value of 1.96, and the path coefficient was 0.327. Conclusions: Organizations can pave the way for the development of organizational maturity if they are in favorable conditions in terms of support from managers and the coordination between cloud computing and knowledge-sharing systems. The implementation of such systems across organizations will result in improved performance of the faculty members and an increased competitive advantage.
