In the Industry 4.0 era, many pioneering industries are leveraging emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) as solutions in the digital age. One of the largest and most active industries in Iran is the food industry, which stands to benefit significantly from these advancements. Achieving a sustainable competitive advantage is often possible at the level of the supply chain, where companies use information and communication technologies, such as IoT, to coordinate information, finances, and materials among supply chain actors. This research aimed to identify the key success factors (KSFs) for implementing IoT in the food supply chain. Firstly, through a systematic literature review, the KSFs for IoT implementation in the food supply chain were identified. To develop a measurement model, confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modeling was employed, making the research applied-descriptive. A questionnaire was designed and completed by 142 members of the "Amadeh Laziz" supply chain (a case study), who were selected using a stratified random sampling method. Confirmatory factor analysis and LISREL 8.83 were then used to validate the proposed model. Finally, the cause-and-effect relationship between KSFs in IoT implementation in the food supply chain was analyzed using Grey DEMATEL. Based on the confirmatory factor analysis findings, the KSFs in implementing IoT in the food supply chain were identified as technical, economic, legal, cultural and social, security, applicability of IoT throughout the supply chain, and implementation of IoT applications. Thus, the measurement model included eight factors and 27 measures. According to the cause-and-effect relationship findings, "Implementation of IoT applications" and "Economic" factors were found to be mostly influenced, while "Applicability of IoT throughout the supply chain" and "Technical" factors were recognized as the most influential. The results of this research can guide food producers and technology policymakers in their supply chains and help avoid trial and error in IoT implementation by leveraging global and national experiences.

The human life is always influenced by events, circumstances, that are, in turn, the result of one's point of view and vision of the world. For a long time, literature has been the polisher of the human soul and spirit. One of the points in the intellectual evolution of man was the period of the Renaissance. Like an earthquake whose the greatest impact that took place in the 19th century with the Industrial Revolution. The basis for such mutations is clearly visible in the works of the post-Renaissance era. Where the structures of the stories change under the influence of the author's thoughts, another new novel is made in human poetics with names such as Balzac, Flaubert, Maupassant, etc. In the shadow of these mutations, we are witnessing the reversal of philosophies accepted for a long time. What Charles Perrault, according to the philosophy of "transcendence", said in the 17th century, Maupassant repeats with a different look from Kant's "transcendental" thought. La Parure is a new outfit dressed by Maupassant in Cinderella; in other words, it is hypertext on the hypotext. The study of levels and narrative patterns proves the similarity of structures and the difference in meaning in these stories. Maupassant, aware of the changes in his transitional time, conveys a new concept from a new philosophy, to the people of the time but with a frame accustomed to that time so that readers can easily comprehend and understand it.

Background: The Internet of things (IoT) is a new technology that expanding rapidly and has led to the emergence of new services in the banking industry. Although IoT is an emerging technology in Iran, it is expected to become a paradigm in the future. IoT applications in banking have helped to provide high quality and fast responses to customers anytime, anywhere. Purpose: This research aims to identify and prioritize IoT applications in the Iranian banking industry based on business continuity indicators. Methods: First, based on the comprehensive literature review and practical experiences, IoT applications in the banking industry are identified. Then, each indicator's weight was calculated using the Grey Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). Finally, IoT-based applications in the Iranian banking industry have prioritized using the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT). Due to the unstable economic conditions for the financial sector, business continuity indicators are employed in this study. Also, the reason for using MAUT is to consider the utility of banking experts for performing IoT banking services. Findings: According to results, IoT-based services in the banking industry, including Transmit instant reports, smart ATMs, non-contact electronic payments, and electronic checks, are identified for Iranian banks. Then, These appropriate services are prioritized with the capabilities of Iranian banks.

In today's world, the Internet of Things (IoT), which is a fairly new technology, has become a popular topic for discussion. Meanwhile, the increasing demand for personalized healthcare with the assistance of new technologies has created new applications called e-health IoT applications; however, researchers are still attempting to find its applications, therefore they have not been able to focus on comparing these applications. We have aimed at understanding the benefits of e-health IoT applications in comparison to one another. Therefore, this study is an attempt to provide a list of e-health IoT applications for individuals and to prioritize them. The Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method has been used, which is a method for Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and a useful tool for prioritizing multiple alternatives based on criteria. Eight important criteria, based on a comprehensive literature review and experts’ opinions, were determined. Then, by using the FAHP method, the weight of each criterion was calculated. As a result, seven applications identified for individuals were prioritized based on the weight of each criterion and the score of each application in each criterion. Health Effectiveness, Empowerment, Safety, Privacy, and Peace of Mind are the most important criteria in e-health IoT applications for individuals; Cost Saving, round-the-clock Access, and Time-Saving are in the next levels of importance. The results also show that Chronic disease management, Medication reminders, Health monitoring, Air quality, Fall detection, Sleep control and Fitness were respectively ranked as first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh among the IoT applications.
