Although there is not an accurate definition about it, but in general it is a systematic process used the best available information to select the best possible decisions. A systematic search for new trends, opportunities and constraints that effect on the path of objective sets. Explicit goals of horizon scanning are critical for innovative and developmental issues, knowledge, data stored, and decision making. Key technical solutions used in environmental scanning processes are web browsing, indexing, mapping knowledge, citation, lexical, coincidental, page rank algorithm, html analytical algorithm, data mining, Classification and clustering. During the writing of this research, efforts have been made to identify institutions and companies that are using or serving in the field of web-based environmental scanning, identification of their goals and solutions, as well as identifying and studying techniques and tools that they use. The result of this research should help the internal organization to use this new method to reach their goals. Manuscript profile -

The quality of web-based reporting is affected by the content elements of the report. Content elements investigate the type of disseminated information or the availability of information. Therefore, the present research aimed to identify and investigate factors affecting the content elements of the web-based integrated reporting with a corporate citizen approach. To this purpose, a systematic analysis was conducted on the findings of 282 previous studies using a qualitative research approach and a seven-step meta-synthesis tool. Finally, the opinions of 12 experts and professors were gathered through a questionnaire. The effect coefficient of the identified factors was then determined using Shannon's quantitative entropy method and based on the content analysis approach. Finally, factors that have the greatest influence on the web-based integrated reporting elements were identified. The results from this research are a great help to professional auditors and financial managers of institutions in identifying factors affecting the quality of providing the web-based integrated reporting elements Manuscript profile -

In this research, geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria decision-making models have been used to perform some stages of spatial analysis, and then the development of a group decision support system for aggregating and selecting the final alternative has been discussed. A two-step method was proposed in this research to create limited decision-making options. In the first stage, creating standard criteria maps including five items with spatial analysis and normalization was done in ArcGIS software. According to the studies, the weight of each criterion was determined and the weighted overlapping of the layers was done. After applying the limiting options, six areas were determined to perform web-based location selection. In the second stage, a group spatial decision support system was developed. Using Visual Studio environment and C# programming language and .NET technology, a website was designed for the participation of experts in this field. In the architecture of this system, ASPMap technology, including a set of controls and map components, and location-based tools, was embedded on the server side of the program. User weighting of the criteria was done in the forms designed by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). With the help of stored procedures in a SQL Server database, the average value of each of the selected points is calculated online based on the opinions of the group. Finally, the point that had the highest value in the average of the opinions of different users was introduced as the best place to build a shopping center. The research results showed that the proposed method has high flexibility, speed, and ease in applying group opinions. Manuscript profile -

MoreThe purpose of this research was to study the effectiveness of traditional teaching- learning based on participatory education based on the use of PowerPoint, blog, discussion forum and virtual network on satisfaction and academic achievement of the 10th grade students. This quasi-experimental study was conducted for the 10th grade students of the natural sciences in the academic year of 2016-17 in the 20th district of Tehran. A cluster was selected from high school girls including 3 classrooms (16 students, 13 people and 18 students) and biology course was chosen for the study. The data collection instruments included satisfaction questionnaire made by the researcher in addition to the academic scores. Its content validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by the test-retest method (r = 0.76). t test was applied to analyze the achievement test scores. Moreover, in order for the data analysis, Levine’s Test was given to analyze the homogeneity of the variances. ANOVA Analysis was done to determine the effectiveness of the three selected learning methods (PowerPoints, weblogs, forums, and virtual networks). The results of the study showed that the participatory learning method is effective in the students’ achievements and the level of satisfaction about the teaching and learning methods. Based on the findings, the most influential techniques included the use of weblogs and forums. One of the reasons for using weblogs was considered to be the unlimited data sorting, presentation, colorful displaying of content, adding image sound, as well as adding links in useful order in a part of the job.

Therefore, this study aimed at determining the effectiveness of four online technological tools of teaching idioms. To this aim, 106 pre-intermediate learners of English took part in the study. A language proficiency test was administered to ensure the homogeneity of the sample. A total number of 80 students were selected as the final participants who were randomly assigned to four experimental groups: In group A, concept maps of the same idioms were drawn with the help of an online mind-map maker. Group B were presented with online flashcards which included definitions and examples of idioms. Group C received etymological elaboration from an online dictionary of the origins of idioms, and group D listened to online audio stories of all the idioms. Each group of the participants received the treatment for 12 sessions and took part in the pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest. The results of a one-way ANOVA indicated that the most gains were achieved by story-telling. The findings imply implications for teachers, syllabus designers, and materials developers in using appropriate instructional methods for teaching idioms. Manuscript profile -
