Human society has passed through three industrial revolutions: steam, electricity, and information technology. It will reach its peak of influence and, like the previous industrial revolutions; the winners of this era will be the dominant powers of the future world. This revolution, which is the result of the integration of biological, physical and digital technologies, can achieve national security at the individual and social, national and international levels by influencing the systems of governance, economic, social, educational and industrial systems. In its various dimensions (military, political, economic, cultural and environmental) to create dramatic changes in human society. In this study, we studied the global trends of these technologies, opinions of experts and published international documents and researches, calculated the main consequences of this technological revolution, and then held two meetings with experts in the field of technology in defense and security departments. we have identified the different dimensions and levels of the consequences and effects of these technologies on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and we have evaluated and validated the questionnaire designed by the research team. At the end of the questionnaire, a questionnaire was administered to 30 technology activists working in the defense and security sectors, and they approved the various parts of the conceptual model of the research.

The purpose of this research project is to investigate the dimensions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its impact on the development of technical and vocational training skills. The relationship between labor market in the first to third revolutions has been affected by economic, social, political, cultural, scientific and technological developments of revolutions. In this research, using documentary analysis and content analysis of journals, articles and scientific theories of the characteristics of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and its impact on the nature and manner of technical and vocational training skills in the European and Iranian labor market has been investigated.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution affected all industries and transformed the digital, cyber, and real worlds in the supply chains of corporations. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging technologies that mostly manifests the fourth industrial revolution. As the future of the food industry is tied to the design and management of supply chains enabled by technologies such as the IoT, this paper is to provide a model for developing an IoT-based intelligent transportation technology roadmap based on alternative IoT scenarios in the food-producing cold supply chain.

In this study, scenarios were developed using qualitative methods such as the PESTEL framework and content analysis, based on the critical uncertainty method or GBN, through open semi-structured interviews with experts in the food industry and IoT. After identifying the best IoT technology stock for each selected scenario, a roadmap was developed using the T-plan quick-start method during a tow-day-interactive workshop.

Communication infrastructure and time horizon of technology development were recognized as the most important uncertainties for applying IoT technology in refrigerated transportation of food cold supply chain in producing companies. Finally, “Mutation Alone” and “Ascent Slow” scenarios were selected and technology roadmaps were developed for each scenario in three layers.

Food companies with cold supply chains can use one of the roadmaps presented in this paper as guidelines to equip their transport fleet with IoT technology based on their current situation and choose one of the two selected scenarios. This would enable them to plan, control, and manage the cold transportation chain process by digitally monitoring, tracing, and information sharing in an efficient and effective way.

The present article has been compiled with the aim of exploring the theoretical and experimental foundations of educational inequalities in the light of the developments of industrial revolutions, especially the fourth industrial revolution. Using the method of qualitative meta-analysis, the theoretical foundations and infrastructures of the developments resulting from the four industrial revolutions have been studied. Then the effects of revolutions and especially the fourth industrial revolution on educational inequalities in three main areas: access to or access to education; Resources at the disposal of the educational system; and was evaluated in terms of the performance of the educational system. The results showed that based on the theoretical foundations of economic inequality (Kuznets), social theory or the school of conflict and competition (Marx and the Frankfurt school), cultural theory (Bourdieu) and the theory of educational inequality (Rawls), the problem of inequality in the system can be stated. Education is constantly expanding in the three main areas of access, resources and performance of the education system. The first to third industrial revolutions have increased the quantitative and qualitative depth of educational inequalities, especially in developing or low-growth countries in the three main areas of access, resources and performance of the education system. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, with the emergence of opportunities such as the integration of technologies based on physical cyber systems and digital transformation, has positive, negative and conditional effects on the access, resources and performance of the educational system and educational inequalities.

The present article has been written with the aim of analyzing the foundations and developments of education in vocational, technical and vocational universities in the light of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Using the method of qualitative meta-analysis, the theoretical foundations and infrastructures of the developments resulting from the four industrial revolutions have been studied. Then the effects of these revolutions, especially the fourth industrial revolution on higher education centers and skill, technical and vocational universities were examined. The results show that it is necessary for the universities of technical and vocational to review the theoretical foundations of their university education in the light of the developments of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Such a revision is mainly in the realm of flexibility, uncertainty, complexity. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is defined on the basis of two emerging trends: on the one hand, based on general innovations and changes in skills and technical training and advanced level professions, and on the other hand, the integration and convergence of technologies in the Industrial Revolution with A combination of humans and technologies such as: 3D printing, augmented reality, cloud computing, hologram, biometrics, IoT, artificial intelligence ... to improve learning and adaptation to better meet the expectations of society and the fourth industrial revolution . In such circumstances, the system of professional competence has emerged with an approach derived from the theoretical foundations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The purpose of this research is to review and analyze the developments of public libraries influenced by industrial revolutions, from the formation of traditional libraries in the First Industrial Revolution to the arrival of platform libraries in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The library, as the concept of a platform, creates a social context for improving the participation of individuals and institutions in order to exchange information and knowledge.

The research method consists of a review study in which the documentary approach is used. To extract the information, a comprehensive search was made on the documents available on the Iranian and foreign databases. Documents related to the terms of the Industrial Revolution and the Public Library were retrieved from 2000 to 2018.

The findings of the study identify the characteristics of generations of public libraries based on the paradigms of industrial revolutions. This indicates the need for libraries to shift to thelibrary platform concept in order to continue to survive and provide effective services during the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. Due to the changing social ecosystem affected by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, libraries need to change their attitudes and practices to sustain their being and increase their effectiveness by redefining their values, existential philosophy and logic based on platform thinking for synergy and creativity act with their internal and external stakeholders.It is pointed out in the related literature that libraries are central to users learning from each other, being creative, discussing their work and gaining social knowledge; Increasing the stakeholders’ engagement of the library is one of the pillars of this thinking model. To achieve this redefinition of the platform library, steps must be defined and implemented. The first step is to assess the conditions and quality of services, and then, if feasible for implementation, reviewing and localizing global experiences, and then developing library plans and goals based on this thinking. In the second step, in the issue of resource synchronization with respect to resource control, it is stated that this synchronization should be done by digitizing resources. To harmonize the setting, just as in music performance’ all the instruments had to be played with the right guidance. Similarly, all components of the library must also be aligned and redefined for all components of the library ecosystem and its external interactions. In the third step, the processes are carefully charted and implemented methodically.

In this redefinition, platform library priorities change as follows: 1) Prioritize resource synchronization over library resource control; 2) Enhancing social interactions as compared to optimizing internal libraries; 3) Prioritize the value of the ecosystem over the value of the stakeholders in the library; 4) Priority of facilitating audience access to the library; 5) Priority of facilitating audience access to the library; and 6) Priority to omni-access strategy to the library. In the new definition, the public library is a dynamic social institution, providing a platform for constructive participation for all stakeholders and acting as a value flow manager.

One of the most important consequences of the fourth industrial revolution is the digitalization of the business environment and the expansion of data-driven marketing. The consequences of these developments will have a profound effect on marketing research. The purpose of this study is to identify the components of value among the large volume of customer feedback in social networks using “Machine Learning” to analyze “Big Data”. This research is descriptive-survey in terms of applied purpose, qualitative in terms of data collection method and qualitative-quantitative (mixed methods) in terms of implementation. For this purpose, the tourism industry is selected as a case study and 8290 customers' opinions are collected from the Internet in this regard and the components of value are extracted using two different methods of "data clustering" and extraction of “association rules". The results of the research in the data clustering section include the identification of 20 value components in relation to the values desired by tourists. Also, using the second method (association rules), seven laws were extracted from the hidden knowledge, in the relationships between the phrases used in the opinions of tourists. In general, the results show that using Big Data analytics and “Machine Learning”, the process of “marketing research” is possible with higher speed and accuracy and lower relative cost.
