The Impact of Information Technology Methods on Accounting Information Quality: Empirical Evidence From Iran
No full textInformation Technology is a key factor in eliminating the limitations posed by time and location and gives a much better and a faster access to informaition. In other words, technology has revolutionized work methods as a result of which, the paper which was used as a substrate for writing the work upon it has now been replaced by an electronic substrate. The changes created by technology include the use of Blockchain, IoT (Internet of Things), Cloud Accounting and Big Data to do accounting in automated form.The statistical sample of this study is given on the basis of the 171 person Cochran formulae consisting of financial managers, accountants and auditors of the Tehran city. Empirical results show that the use of Information Technology has a very significant role on the quality of Accounting Information and all these factors are influential in the quality of accounting system
Balanced Learning Design Planning: Concept and Tool
No full text We present a comprehensive learning design (LD) concept and tool, motivated by the needs identified by higher education (HE) practitioners. The concept and tool aim at implementing contemporary research findings and theory to support balanced LDplanning (BDP). The student-centered BDP concept and tool provide innovation to LD planning by strongly focusing on learning outcomes (LOs) and student workload, aligning study program and course level LOs, ensuring constructive alignment andassessment validity, enhancing LD by using learning analytics, and enabling flexible use in different contexts and pedagogical approaches. The ongoing work has been done according to design science methodology, with positive first feedback from HEpractitioners. We identify areas for further research and improvement, including testing the BDP tool in real-world HE contexts and its integration with learning management systems. This could help close the gap between intended (often innovative) LDs and their implementation in real teaching and learning environments
Understanding Document Thematic Structure: A Systematic Review of Topic Modeling Algorithms
No full textThe increasing usage of the Internet and other digital platforms has brought in the era of big data with the attending increase in the quantity of unstructured data that is available for processing and storage. However, the full benefits of analyzing this large quantity of unstructured data will not be realized without proper techniques and algorithms. Topic modeling algorithms have seen a major success in this area. Different topic modeling algorithms exist and each one either employs probabilistic or linear algebra approaches. Recent reviews on topic modeling algorithms dwell majorly on probabilistic methods without giving proper treatment to the linear-algebra-based algorithms. This review explores linear-algebra-based topic models as well as probability-based topic models. An overview of how models generated by each of these algorithms represent document thematic structure is also presented

Identifying Organizational Factors Effective Knowledge Concealment in Scientific Contexts (Case Study: Islamic Azad University of Khorasan Razavi)
No full textThis study aims to investigate the organizational factors affecting knowledge concealment in scientific contexts. This study has taken a mixed approach to identify these factors, so what makes it unique is the pluralism of data collection methods. Also, using the "Delphi" method, a conceptual model of organizational factors affecting knowledge concealment in scientific contexts is presented. The statistical sample included 314 employees of the Islamic Azad University of Khorasan Razavi who were selected through the random sampling method. They filled knowledge concealment questionnaire by Demirkasimoglu (2016) and a scholar-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the structural equation method (SEM) in AMOS software. Findings revealed that the coefficient correlation of organizational culture, reward system, organizational structure, organizational support, organizational justice, quality of work-life, and leadership style with knowledge concealment was -0.62, -0.27, -0.49, -1.30, -0.77, -0.39, and -0.88, respectively. The results indicate that organizational factors have an inverse and significant relationship with knowledge concealment
The Contribution of Women on Corporate Boards: Board’s Effectiveness – Focus on ICT
No full textThe composition of supervisory and board of directors in companies is extremely important for the successful operation of companies. Nowadays, women in the workplace, and especially in management positions, encounter a form of discrimination that has its own professional name - the phenomenon of "glass ceiling". Therefore, it is very important to analyze the representation of women and men on the company’s supervisory board and board of directors. This paper will explain women's leadership style, differences between men's and women's leadership style, and the problems that women in employment, and especially in promotion. The aim off this paper is to determine whether the “glass ceiling” phenomenon is prominent in Croatian companies and to what extent. In addition, women’s representation in senior positions will be related to business performance criteria
