The use of IoT in intelligent agriculture is now very common among farmers, and with the use of drones and sensors, advanced agriculture is rapidly becoming a growing global standard. The use of IoT requires infrastructure that is defined within an IoT governance framework. This paper proposes new approaches to knowledge management, Artificial Intelligence, and IoT governance and their impact on productivity in the agriculture sector by hiring specialized people who are called AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers.Given the importance of all three topics, knowledge management, IoT, and agriculture, we have tried to show the impact of the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers and IoT in reducing water consumption as one of the most important requirements of agriculture in a simulation by Matlab Software. The data was obtained from the Eurostat database. We also provide a framework for the presence of AI-aided Agriculture Knowledge Managers in fields that are specialized in agricultural science and knowledge management. Finally, due to the importance of governance in this sector, a framework for the governance of artificial intelligence in the field of agriculture with the presence of knowledge managers has been proposed.

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting the agile supply chain and value creation for the customer in the automotive industry. Therefore, using a qualitative approach and meta-combination technique, these factors have been identified. In this research, the technique is based on the model of Clarson (2006), Sampling strategy, data collection method, data analysis method, appropriateness of research design with research goal, clear expression of findings, proper justification of research result, and homogeneity between research project guiding paradigms with selected methods were the 7 steps used in selecting articles. Based on the analysis, 33 studies were reviewed and 22 codes were introduced for value creation for the customer, and 22 codes for the agile supply chain. In the supply chain stages, agility and the factors that affect it create value. Agility leads to rapid change management, in which case the organization can identify and meet the needs of customers with the necessary flexibility. The higher the agility of the supply chain, the better the factors affecting value creation for the customer. In light of the findings obtained from the study, it could be said that economics moves from the traditional to the modern knowledge, so managers must avoid looking at assets one-dimensionally and understand the importance of the role of intangible assets such as customers and the organization's internal value-added factors that contribute to the organization's survival and competitive advantage.

This study aimed to assess the mediating role of flattery in the relationship between self-esteem and stress and job success from the point of view of the Ministry of Sport and Youth Experts. It is applied research in terms of classifying research by purpose, it is descriptive-non-experimental in terms of data collection, and has been the case study among all types of descriptive research methods. The statistical population of the study consists of 700 staff and experts of the Ministry of Sport and Youth. Using the Cochran formula, 400 individuals are selected as a statistical sample. The sampling method was random sampling. The demographic data of the experts were first evaluated and after confirming the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, the relationship between self-esteem and stress with job success was analyzed by considering the mediating role of flattery in structural equation modeling. Data were analyzed using SPSS and LISREL statistical software. Based on the results, the mediating role of flattery in the relationship between self-esteem and job success was confirmed and the relationship between stress and job success was confirmed. According to the results obtained, people who have high self-esteem perform all their duties regularly and do not leave any room for complaints to higher levels, so they try to learn even with the help of other employees or go ahead with extra-organizational training to overcome your problems. On the other hand, these people consider their value and importance so high that they do not allow themselves to flatter their superiors.

This study aims to provide a Gamification Driver Soft modelling of Learning Management Systems in Covid-19 Pandemic. By studying the theoretical foundations and experimental background and content analysis approach, eleven drivers were identified in the first phase. This study's statistical population consisted of Persian Gulf University (Bushehr) faculty members with appropriate empirical and theoretical knowledge in information systems scope. Fourteen of them were selected as sample members by purposeful judgmental sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by face content analysis method, and also the reliability was confirmed by inconsistency rate method. The collected data were analyzed by fuzzy interpretive structural modelling to design a Gamification Driver Soft modelling. The results showed that the driver of "learning opportunity", "appropriate design", "ease of use", "motivation" and "cooperation" which were placed in the lower levels of the model, as effective and root driver. Therefore, it is requisite to have more emphasis on these drivers when designing systems to motivate users resulting in the improvement of learning outcomes. It should be noted that the proposed research is innovative in terms of modelling Gamification driver in learning/teaching systems in the Covid- 19 pandemic. In today's digital age; ideas formation will not be possible without considering other facts in terms of emerging paradigms of technology. Gamification is a new concept of information systems in the motivational learning scope that if used in virtual learning guarantees its success as the critical element of training in the pandemic of Covid-19.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to answer the main question of what is meant by the concept of data-driven digital transformation from the perspective of cyber-physical-social systems’ thinking.Method: Comparative Evaluation method is used in this study. In this method, after identifying different definitions and interpretations of the digital data-driven transformation and also cyber-physical-social data, these definitions are compared based on this method. Based on this analysis, then a conceptual concept from the perspective of the notion of cyber-physical-social systems for the concept of data-driven digital transformation is proposed.Findings: Based on this research, the concept of digital transformation has different definitions and interpretations. Some of these definitions focus on “what” and some on “how”. But the complex nature of the concept of transformation has not been noted enough. Now we’re cyber-physical-social systems as a platform for data creation and data flow. The nature of these systems is based on transformation and the digital data-driven transformation is achieved by data flow management in these systems.Digital data-driven transformation is a concept based on digital convergence between social, physical, cognitive, and cyber systems. These systems are the context of creating big data, and data flow management requires data-driven notions and analytics, which is essential for the transformation and sustainability of societies.Conclusion: According to the proposed framework, data-driven digital transformation is a concept based on digital convergence between social, physical, cognitive, and cyber systems. These systems are the context of creating big data, and data flow management requires data thinking and analytics which are necessary for the transformation and sustainability of societies.

Purpose: Drawing a knowledge map of scientific productivity in the field of knowledge engineering in the 2011-2021 period on Web of Science.Method: This was an applied descriptive-analytical study using a quantitative research design. The research population consisted of all scientific products in the field of knowledge engineering, which included 7724 documents published in indexed journals on the Web of Science database in the 2011-2021 period. The data were analyzed in Excel. VOSviewer was used for constructing the bibliometric networks of researchers, institutions, and countries, Histcite was used for obtaining information through scientometrics methods, and Gephi was used for obtaining betweenness centrality, degree centrality, and eigenvector centrality.Findings: Xu, Yang from Beijing University of Science and Technology had the most collaboration with other researchers by publishing 69 documents in the field of knowledge engineering. Two Chinese universities were ranked in the first and second place and two Iranian universities were in the third and fourth place.Studies on Knowledge Engineering began in the US, the UK, Japan, France, and Australia in the 2010-2012 period. Meanwhile, publications in this field have been pursued with more intensity by China, Iran, Spain, and Russia since 2014.Results: The findings indicate that many researchers are working in the field of knowledge engineering, with the Chinese researchers being the most active compared to other countries. Meanwhile, Asian countries seem to be more involved in this field. Furthermore, most of the journals of knowledge engineering were conference journals.

The behavioral decision-making process of individuals highlights the importance of investors' feelings and their correlation with the real economy. The purpose of this study was to model investment satisfaction based on financial knowledge. Qualitative and quantitative methodology has been used. In terms of research philosophy, it is of applied positivist paradigm, and in terms of qualitative and quantitative research, it has an inductive and deductive approach and survey strategy. This research is exploratory in terms of purpose and explores variables and their causal relationship. The data was collected through interviews with experts and the Atlasti software was used qualitatively. The research population of the present study included experts and financial experts and management of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In a small part, Delphi techniques and structural equations have been used. By analyzing the data, a total of 23 categories and 252 and finally 127 concepts were identified and extracted. Selective coding and axial coding were also performed. Among the identified factors, the axial coding paradigm was performed and based on that, the linear relationship between research categories including causal conditions, axial categories, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences were determined. Managers must always identify the risks that threaten the company. Investors can benefit greatly from the application of financial knowledge in their specific situations. When behavioral finance develops among market participants, investors will see its benefits.
