Purpose: The libraries of medical sciences universities have much more diverse goals and services than can be publically conceived, so providing services related to information resources is one of the most important challenges facing these organizations.Method: The present study is an applied research based on its purpose and descriptive-analytical as regards method. The study utilized the semi-structured interview method to obtain the factors affecting the provision of health information resources services. Sampling was conducted based on a purposeful method and experts’ viewpoints. The sampling was carried out the fuzzy Delphi technique which aimed to provide a solution for the issues. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to check the factors obtained from 62 central libraries of medical sciences.Findings: In general, six types of services were determined as health information resource services in specific central libraries, including tools for exploring the online book registration network, selection tools, interlibrary loan, free educational tools, additional book publishing tests, and content evaluation. Additionally, eight factors were identified, including providing services of specialized bibliographic review by librarians, consultation services to users, dissemination and provision of selective information services on Persian and Non-Persian sources, overcoming the weaknesses of librarians without library education, increasing the diversity of medical sciences library services, utilizing new technologies to compensate for deficiencies and lack of resources, improving the social function of the library as a social institution, and offering various electronic services such as databases and digital resources.

In terms of storage and consumption, blockchain technology is poised to transform the way we manage healthcare data. The primary goal is to empower individuals to take charge of their health records, allowing them to become independent of the institutions or organizations they use. Elec-tronic Health Records (EHRs) can be tracked in a novel and unique way through blockchain tech-nology and smart contracts. This technology can give patients more control over their data. Health practitioners and institutions, such as hospitals, may be granted access to patient data controlled by other organizations. This research highlights how blockchain technology can be used to manage EHRs while improving operational efficiency through process simplification and transparency. Additionally, the study proposes an architecture for managing and sharing healthcare data across enterprises. The suggested approach could significantly reduce the time required to transfer patient data among various health organizations while lowering overall costs.

Knowledge Management (KM) is essential in various sectors, including vocational higher education. A literature review revealed that adopting KM can improve innovation and organizational performance in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). However, some HEIs in developing countries have yet to realize the benefits of KM, and its implementation still needs improvement. The KM process is affected by several issues, including organizational barriers, knowledge hoarding, a lack of a knowledge-sharing culture, ineffective KM mechanisms, and resistance to technology. Nevertheless, only a few researchers have investigated the antecedents of KM, particularly in vocational higher education institutions. This study aims to evaluate the influence of KM foundation factors on KM processes, innovation, and organizational performance in a vocational HEI, specifically the School of Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (STMKG) in Indonesia. It also examines the mediating effects of KM processes and innovation and provides recommendations for improving STMKG's KM foundation. An explanatory research approach was applied in this study, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The results show that Organizational Structure (OS) and Technological Factors (IT) significantly influence KM processes. Innovation (IN) is also a significant mediator between KM processes and Organizational Performance (OP). The practical implication of this study is that it provides recommendations for crucial KM factors based on Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) for policymakers to improve the foundation of KM at STMKG. Additionally, the study contributes to the academic field by providing insights for further research on KM development in vocational higher education institutions.

This research delves into the complex relationship between dynamic managerial capabilities (DMCs) and innovation performance, examining the moderating effects of activity type, export level, and firm size. Employing rigorous ANOVA methodologies, the study elucidates the nuanced and conditional impacts of managerial actions on innovation outcomes. A significant aspect of this investigation is the classification of managers based on their specific DMC components, a novel contribution to the field that enhances our understanding of how different managerial competencies shape innovation. The results indicate substantial interactions between DMCs and the outlined contextual factors. Notably, Type 1 managers, distinguished by their superior managerial human capital, expansive social networks, and propensity for intuitive decision-making, demonstrate a robust positive effect on innovation across varied activities. In contrast, Type 9 managers, who possess limited managerial human capital yet maintain extensive social networks, display performance variability contingent on operational contexts. In export-centric firms, both Type 1 and Type 5 managers emerge as key drivers of innovation, adeptly maneuvering the complexities of international markets through their strategic acumen and flexibility. Moreover, the effectiveness of DMCs is significantly modulated by firm size, with micro and small enterprises deriving optimal benefits from a multifaceted managerial skill set, whereas larger corporations exhibit a greater reliance on established systemic processes. This research lays the groundwork for subsequent inquiries into the strategic deployment of DMCs in diverse organizational scenarios and offers critical insights for enhancing innovation-led development.

Online review sites and social media platforms have become crucial sources of information for consumers, greatly influencing their purchasing behavior and decision-making, especially in the food and beverage industry. However, not many studies have been carried out to understand how social media influences customers’ purchase intentions at fast-food restaurants. This paper examines the growing influence of social media attributes on purchase intentions, with a focus on the Malaysian context. Previous studies highlight the increasing importance of social media platforms as marketing tools and their impact on customers’ purchase intentions. The research explores the relationship between habit and informativeness and their influence on purchase intentions among young adults in fast-food restaurants. A purposive sampling method was utilized to gather data from 142 fast-food customers through a cross-sectional online survey. The research hypotheses were analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling. Key findings found that habit and informativeness have a significant positive impact on customers’ intentions to purchase at fast-food restaurants. The study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the growing influence of social media on consumer behavior in the context of fast-food restaurants. It adds to our understanding of how social media platforms serve as effective marketing tools, particularly among young adults, and how they can influence purchase intentions. By understanding the interplay of habit, informativeness, and purchase intentions, businesses can develop more effective marketing strategies and foster stronger relationships with their customers.

Problems caused by the growth of traffic in cities require modern management approaches to improve the situation with the routing of traffic flow. This article aims to develop a conceptual system that uses computer vision technology to collect and process data from vehicles. It describes the technology of computer vision as an opportunity to improve routing algorithms by processing large data streams that reflect real situations and causes that affect route optimization. The result of using the color vision system is to provide more accurate and timely information to drivers, allowing them to make informed decisions about their routes. This will reduce traffic congestion, improve transport efficiency, and minimize the negative impact on the environment.
