The article is devoted to the problem of designing recycling in sustainable logistics systems in the field of processing wastewater treatment waste - municipal sewage sludge (MSS) in the focus of information technology management . The essence of the developed and proposed wastewater treatment project is based on its integration into the city's public utilities system, which will be a single basis for a closed-type logistics system that is managed on the basis of the introduction of a unified information system. This approach to the design of sustainable logistics systems ensures the formation of a closed material and informational logistics flow according to the "supply of raw materials - production - product distribution". This allows solving two problems: ensuring the creation of a closed logistics system that is managed by a single information base and developing a new type of fertilizer. The solutions proposed in this project in the implementation of the MSS processing project are complex and allow implementing all areas of the sustainable development strategy in the aspect of implementing modern information systems. The design technology makes it possible to completely close the logistics cycle for the supply and processing of MSS into finished products in the form of organic fertilizers

Blockchain is one of the trending emerging technologies that enables immutable data storage over distributed ledgers. The fundamental features of blockchain technology, such as record and identity traceability and immutability makes it an attractive alternative for the state-of-the-art information systems. Thus, blockchain has found its way into various fields. In Iran, blockchain technology has been employed in different areas including: commercial mining platforms, secure exchange platforms, and innovative trustless projects. One of the main applications of blockchain is secure management of sensitive information, which makes it a suitable infrastructure for providing advanced control over data in police task forces. The motivation behind this research is to provide a conceptual framework for employing blockchain in law enforcement organizations by analysis and comparison of best practices in other countries and academic case-studies. We provide a systematic overview of case-studies by qualitative content analysis. Moreover, the reliability of our statistics is evaluated by Cohen's kappa coefficient roughly 0.64. Finally, the prioritized applications were evaluated by a 14 member experts panel through fuzzy Delphi method with a Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance of W=0.711, indicating high rates of agreement among members. To this end, “trustless authentication systems”, “distributed data/resource/information management”, and “inter-department integrated information systems” were selected as most valuable applications of blockchain for police task forces and law enforcement agencies in Iran.
