The aim of the research was to identify and prioritize metaverse infrastructures with a fuzzy approach. This analysis has been done in a quantitative and applied manner. The identified criteria were screened using the fuzzy Delphi analysis method, and the internal and external relationship of the screened components was investigated using the fuzzy Dimetal technique. The surveyed community were experts in the field of information technology and artificial intelligence. 14 people were selected using purposive sampling. Using MATLAB software, Fuzzy DeMetal analysis and EXCEL software for fuzzy Delphi analysis were performed. The identified criteria were determined based on the library method in the previous section. 8 criteria were identified. In this research, 8 main criteria were identified based on the fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method of Delphi and DEMATEL. These 8 criteria are: virtual reality and augmented reality technology, complex networks and communications, powerful processing, servers and cloud infrastructure, metaverse development platforms and software, security and information protection, interactive technologies and artificial intelligence technologies. Based on the Delphi technique, all items were confirmed. In the Fuzzy Dimetal technique, it was found that interactive technologies have the highest priority. Artificial intelligence technologies ranked second. Interactive technologies based on existing technologies have a special place in Metaverse. Augmented reality provides an opportunity to merge the real world with virtual elements.

With the development of technology and the increasing use of the Metaverse in various industries, it is significant for different businesses to know and understand this environment. This research has identified the important components for implementing national services in the metaverse environment. Using a systematic review of reliable databases, we conducted a search and screened the articles. After the screening process, we selected 45 articles for review. The criteria for selecting the articles were the keywords "financial services" and "Metaverse." The knowledge required to implement financial services in the Metaverse ecosystem was divided into 10 knowledge categories, including Virtual Economics and Digital Currencies, Blockchain Technology, Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, User Behavior and Experience, Regulatory Compliance, Cross-platform Interoperability, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Virtual Governance and Decentralization, Financial Inclusion and Accessibility, Market and Economic Research. The findings provide valuable insights and recommendations that can assist stakeholders in developing secure, efficient, and user-centric financial solutions within the rapidly evolving virtual landscape.

This study aims to identify the main components in a Knowledge Extraction System based on Single Sign-On in libraries. This research is with a mixed approach and it is an exploration based on the Sandelusky and Bargo (2006) model. The studies from 2000 to 2022 were analyzed in ATLAS Ti software. In the quantitative phase, the statistical population is 12 experts in knowledge management and libraries who were selected by purposeful sampling. MICMAC software was used for the ISM method. 40 codes were categorized into 4 main themes of knowledge extraction based on SSO features including Infrastructural measures of knowledge extraction, Knowledge organization, Integration of knowledge, and Monitoring and updating knowledge. Access using unit code with the rank of 1 and frequency of 12 is one of the most important components in a knowledge extraction system based on SSO in libraries. According to the ISM, the knowledge extraction system based on SSO in libraries has four levels. Since SSO is one of the hot trends and high topics in the field of libraries, there can be a knowledge extraction system based on SSO features to help share and develop knowledge.

The current research aims to investigate the process of publishing resources related to metaverse in connection with telemedicine. The current research is of applied type and uses the Scientometric method. A descriptive review of the available resources with related keywords such as logistics, knowledge logistics, medical knowledge logistics, telemedicine and knowledge logistics in telemedicine was done in Google, Google Scholar, and SID databases to determine the relationship between the two concepts. The findings of this research showed that the sources of this area have a history of about two years. Ammar A, Fournier, Stephane, Muller, Olivier, and Skalidis, Ioannis are among the most used authors. India, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, UNAV, and the United States were among the busy countries. Also, most organizational affiliations were related to the University of Crete, Center Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Symbiosis International Deemed University, Symbiosis Institute of Digital and Telecom Management and CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF THE SACRED HEART. The analysis of the occurrence of keywords also showed that telemedicine, metaverses, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and telerehabilitation were among the most frequent keywords. Reviewing the subject literature in this research showed that these two concepts are closely related. As far as it can be claimed that the metaverse is a general concept that can cover various aspects of human life and transform human interactions. This research can be the basis for conducting more studies regarding the connection between the medical field and the metaverse through telemedicine.

The Metaverse, an immersive digital realm, has revolutionized the dynamics of communication and information exchange. In this context, electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) has emerged as a vital tool for information dissemination and opinion formation. However, the influence of anonymity on eWOM credibility and trustworthiness remains a complex and evolving facet of the Metaverse. This review paper explores the multifaceted factors that underpin the impact of anonymity on eWOM which studying each can help researchers to develop this field. Through the systematic review, databases were searched and out of 145 articles, 65 were selected for review. Community Norms and Culture, Platform Design and Policies, Trust-Building Mechanisms, Transparency and Accountability, Information Quality and Consistency, Moderation and Ethical Practices, Challenges and Future Directions influence anonymity and eWOM credibility. Information Adoption Model, Social Identity Theory, Elaboration Likelihood Model, Source Credibility Theory, Network Theory, Cue Utilization Theory, and Social Exchange Theory are among the studied theories in this field. Credibility Challenges, Trust Formation, User Perceptions, Ethical Considerations, and User Education influence anonymity on the credibility and trustworthiness of eWOM in the Metaverse

Since the progress of science towards specialization, a kind of distance between awareness and knowledge has been created. But there are some views that believe that since all sciences are born of a single science, then the world of science should become a single land. An example of such a view is evident in cybernetics. Cybernetics emerged from the 20th century and has entered most sciences with the aim of investigating the nature of control and communication in humans, machines, and animals, as well as by paying attention to concepts such as communication, control, feedback, stability, regulation, information, etc. Metaverse is also an emerging phenomenon in which we witness the interaction between man and machine and actually the interaction between physical and virtual space. The study of sources shows the wide application of cybernetics in various sciences, and considering the importance and practical role of cybernetics in order to solve problems, control and regulate systems and create stability and stability in various sciences, in the present research, a review of the available studies in a library method in the field of cybernetics applications until its applications as a unit in various sciences such as industry, physics, chemistry, computer science, management, information storage and retrieval systems, cyber security, psychiatry (psychocybernetics), physiology, biology (biocybernetics), control Bioelectricity and medicine should be investigated in the metaverse space. By using cybernetic principles in various sciences, Metaverse can be used for its evolution to adapt to the life of humanity.
