Given the importance of service delivery speed and material handling in the perishable food supply chain, the use of the IOT transformation technology can provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing firms. Recently, some food companies have started using IOT technology in their supply chains. Background review showed that three categories of technological, organizational and environmental factors can affect supply chain performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate these three factors on the process of the perishable food supply chain based on IOT. First, by reviewing supply chain processes, a 5-step process was selected as the comprehensive process. Then the dimensions of these factors became from the literature and the conceptual model of the research was drawn by combining the effect of these factors on the supply chain process. The information was obtained through the distribution of a 24-item questionnaire among 203 managers of food production units as a research community and was analyzed by correlation analysis and structural equation modeling. The analysis unit of the Department of Spicy Food is that it uses levels of IOT. The results showed that environmental factors as a whole and technological factors affect the sustainable food supply chain from 4 dimensions. But organizational factors were not confirmed in 3 hypotheses. This will be a warning for managers who are interested in their companies being successful.

IoT technology offers many benefits in health care and epidemic control and will greatly facilitate the process of continuous remote patient diagnosis and monitoring with wireless sensors and smart devices. This article aims to identify and analyze the applications of the Internet of Things to combat and control epidemics such as covid 19 disease. This research was applied in terms of purpose, which was conducted in two stages. First, by reviewing the theoretical foundations and previous studies through the method of reviewing texts, IoT applications in combating and controlling epidemic diseases such as covid 19 disease were identified; then, to confirm and prioritize the identified applications, these applications were provided to 23 experts from academic experts and experts in the medical field. IoT applications in the fight against and control of epidemic diseases such as covid 19, It has the dimensions of therapeutic applications (5 components and 9 indicators), Monitoring applications (4 components and 14 indicators), Information applications (2 components and 5 indicators), management applications (2 components and 8 indicators), prevention applications (7 components and 14 indicators). In the case of epidemics such as covid19 disease, The Internet of Things improves the quality of treatment and diagnosis, supports decision-making and monitoring patients 'vital signs, reduces hospital visits, and increases the ability to monitor and monitor patients' condition.
