Branding is an operational strategy to distinguish the industry, besides at present time, companies and organizations are not only pursuing competition for owning the market of products and services, but also making effort to align customers' mental perceptions with themselves (product/ brand) .Nowadays, the brand is no longer just a potent mechanism available for managers. Branding is a strategic requirement that supports organizations to make more profits for customers as well as sustainable competitive advantages. Sustainable competitive advantage is essential to maintain the survival of organizations at present competitive environment. Competitive advantage is an invisible structure and is inherently complex and demanding to identify due to its latent nature.

According to Gartner’s Hype Cycle, gamification is poised for large-scale adoption in the coming years. The construct of gamification has received considerable interest, especially in the context of learning. Over the past five years, research in the area has grown. The current study looks at consolidating the conducted research and attempts to provide a snapshot of the work carried out in the last five years. The chosen studies have explored the role of gamification in learning activities and have attempted to provide empirical evidence to support gamified learning. The purpose of the study is to review existing literature, in terms of the outcomes, outcome variables, context of the study, and research methodology used. This would not only add to the knowledge in the field but would also guide future research. Additionally, practitioners would benefit from a consolidated view of five years of research into the practice of gamification.

The main idea of IoT is to connect several objects to each other through Internet. In the field of Computer Network the main problem identified by researchers is network congestion. Now a day’s network congestion is increasing very rapidly because IoT connect a huge number of devices to internet. A transport layer protocol TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is accountable for network congestion control. The behavior of TCP is not stable as it takes long time to fill the available capacity of the network. It also continuously keeps assessing the capacity of data transmission through increasing the limits.TCP drops its data transmission rate aggressively when packets are dropped, which significantly reduces the throughput. This paper suggests a new approach, stable transmission control protocol for IoT applications. The experimental results show that stable transmission control protocol achieves better performance in terms of goodput.

Organizations face many challenges in the current unpredictable and changing business in which superiority in competition is one of their main goals. In this trend, the field of production has moved towards a paradigm called "Agile Production". If an organization wants to be agile, it must shorten the workflow of the process and provide the conditions for saving time. If a hospital is agile, it can respond when faced with internal and external changes and compete with other hospitals and provide appropriate and fast services to patients. Today, hospitals are currently trying to continuously evaluate their performance due to the increasing advancement of technology. A method in evaluating the performance of the organization is the Balanced Score Card (BSC) approach. In this, indicators measure the desired goals in the organization in four aspects of Internal process, Growth and Learning, Financial and Customer. In this approach, important aspects of sustainable development are ignored , therefore, the new method of Sustainable Balanced Score Card (SBSC) is used to evaluate the performance, which takes into account the environmental index. This study aimed to determine the factors that can be important for evaluating agility in the hospital and then classify them based on the perspectives of SBSC. In the next step, using a questionnaire and statistical hypothesis test, the effectiveness of these factors was confirmed. Then, the importance of each perspective in the field of agility was determined by hierarchical analysis, and this model was presented using the scoring method. Accordingly, the "Economic" index had the highest priority and the "Environmental" index had the lowest priority. Due to the high importance of the Economic index, suggestions were made, the most important of which is the use of long-term loans for the promotion and development of hospitals, effective cooperation, and the use of various insurance services of insurance organizations, considering inventory and tools. , Equipment, essential devices in the warehouse for greater efficiency. Regarding the innovation of this research, we can refer to the evaluation of agility from the perspective of the scorecard by considering the criterion of stability in the hospital.
