In recent years, the topics related to electronic learning have attracted the attention of many scholars. Despite the increasing attention of researchers to the study of electronic learning systems, the focus on outcomes and the results from the use of these systems has been less considered. The present study is designed to investigate the effects of the use of electronic learning systems on its outcomes. To this end, 3 major outcomes from the use of an e-learning system, including learning support, communication with others (social structure), and educational performance, have been investigated, taking into account the mediating role of perceived adaptability. The statistical population of this study is the students of Mehr Alborz University who currently use the electronic learning system. The results of this research indicate a positive and direct relationship between the use of the e-learning system and its outcomes. Also, the mediating role of perceived compatibility factor has been confirmed in this research.

In recent decades, in line with increasing environmental risks and related human concerns, the concept of green supply chain has been introduced as a modern approach to reduce the environmental impact of organizational products by researchers. During recent years, public policy has led organizations to accept such concept. However, several obstacles have existed in the way of accepting green supply chain that should be removed. This study is an attempt to identify the main obstacles to the adoption of green supply chain and assess the impact and effectiveness of each of these obstacles on the entire system. In this regard, 18 factors were firstly identified as the main obstacles for green supply chain adoption. Statistical population of this study are 8 experts and professionals in Food Industry who are completely familiar with green supply chain. We have used fuzzy DEMATEL technique in order to assess causal relationship and also classify identified obstacles into two groups of cause and effect. The results indicate that the teaching staff and the support and participation of senior management play a vital role in the adoption of green supply chain.
