The current article examines the trends and performance of research on the types of effects of the COVID-19 epidemic and the different management strategies of perishable goods supply chain disruptions during 2 years (2020-2022) using bibliometric and network analysis based on the data set from the Scopus database using VOSviewer software. The analysis designates that Kumar A. has been the most influential author in perishable goods supply chain research during the COVID-19 pandemic, and India has contributed the most in this field. The most repeated keywords were resilience, food supply, and perishable food supply chain. Citation analysis indicated that resilience and sustainability are the mainstream of research in articles with high citations. The network analysis also disclosed that resilience and sustainability are the key themes in the clusters. Furthermore, strategies for managing disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic were extracted from the highly-cited articles, which are presented in this article.

Qualitative information security risk assessments are somewhat subjective and the high degree of subjectivity associated with the perception of risk means that management is often skeptical of risk analysis results, and is unwilling to make important decisions based on that. Besides, the process of information security risk assessment is quite complex and rife with uncertainty and without taken into account the uncertainty of information security risk assessment the results can be misleading. Therefore, in this paper, the Fuzzy Multi Criteria Group Decision Making (FMCGDM) model is proposed to address the above-mentioned problems. The focus group method used to identify risk parameters and the Delphi method is used to construct a hierarchy for risk parameters. The findings of this research would be useful for the information security department to become more capable in analyzing the InfoSec risks and reducing the consequences of subjective assessment. A case study involving an actual information security risk management project was presented to illustrate the use of the proposed model. Computational results demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of the presented model that can assist InfoSec risk analyst to better evaluate InfoSec risk.

The economic aspects of technological advances in the drilling industry using the maximum reservoir contact (MRC) method compared to other drilling technologies have been investigated in this study. Field and survey methods from combined implementation research methods have been performed by a dynamic approach using Vensim software. Professors, drilling and reservoir engineering professionals in the oil and gas drilling industry, or equivalent positions, comprised the study’s statistical population. Finally, 120 individuals were chosen by nonprobabilistic sampling (judgment) and the snowball method. In the Vensim dynamic environment, the simulation completion time (based on the 2017 dynamics model) and the initial simulation time (based on the 2013 dynamics model) were adjusted to generate a flow diagram analyzing the economic aspects of technological improvements in this type of drilling industry. According to the causal tree results, the drilling industry’s performance has the highest priority among studies of economic aspects of technological changes in the drilling industry using the MRC method. It has a significant relationship with technological changes in the drilling industry. The sensitivity analysis chart demonstrated that with a change in the variable of indicators of the drilling industry at an average level of 5.25 to 5.5, the target variable, i.e., the performance of the drilling industry, had the least sensitivity and had no particular effect on it. On the other hand, by modifying the effectiveness of the drilling industry, effectiveness indicators at the average level of 6.95, the target variable had the maximum sensitivity and had a very significant effect on it.

The purpose of this paper is to prepare a hybrid simulation model of system dynamics (SD) - agent-based modeling (ABM) to investigate the mobile service consumers’ behavior in the country. By using the suggested in this article, first the necessity to analysis consumers’ behavior is explained and then the effective factors on mobile ecosystem which influence the consumers’ behavior are explained . For each factor affecting on the ecosystem, related simulations were performed and then by combining system dynamics modeling - agent -based modeling, the behavior of mobile service consumers in the first operator of the country (Hamrahe Aval Company) was examined and finally the income affected by that behavior is analyzed . Results indicated that if no funds by the operator are allocated to the development of native applications and digital platform, after 2 years, the number of active customers of the operator will decrease because of the activities of cultural organizations. By the operator entering into the field of native application production and digital transformation, consumers tended to use more data services instead of voice calls, but because of different data and voice tariffs, the operator's income will not change much in the next 2 years. With the increase of marketing and advertising activities, despite the greater consumer inclination to use data, the main income of the operator decreases, which also needs more attention of policymakers in this area .
