The practical efficiency of the theory is conditioned on the operation of the generated knowledge and its movement from the step of analogical reasoning (normative theory) to the inductive argument (the descriptive theory) in the theoretical cycle. Thus, the Test theory in the inductive argument can be considered as the main mission of the Humanities University. In this cycle, the observed anomalies lead to the production of knowledge and theorizing and access to the authority of the Humanities University. In order to move the knowledge cycle from theory to reality and transforming knowledge into a theoretical cycle, from the deductive reasoning (normative theory) to inductive reasoning (descriptive theory), there is a need for universities to target the universities in order to participate in various missions that can identify and explain these abnormalities. This means that in the knowledge production cycle all universities have the same importance in scientific development. Given the intrinsic nature of Humanities Universities in direct relation with society, the establishment of Humanities Incubator can lead to direct association of university professors with the community and create the production of indigenous knowledge of humanities. In fact, these centers can connect with various cultural institutions of the society along the lines of indigenous patterns through the establishment of a business in the field of humanism through the use of professors from the university of humanities and other universities. Such a structure, by removing obstacles to the development of higher education system, will define the ecosystem of education in Humanities Universities, which will be the basis of the theoretization based on indigenous knowledge in the country.

Three important features of technological learning include gradual technological change, international diffusion of technology and local technological endeavors. In this research, the factors influencing technological learning have been identified. According to studies, two main components, including technological capability (absorption capacity) and catch up strategy have been introduced as key components. Then, by analyzing the components, the main factors of each have been identified and modeled. Capabilities have been identified with a set of factors that are categorized as enterprise factors (including internal knowledge of employees, organizational strategies, and technological capabilities), national factors (including market conditions and competitive environment, culture and education, policies and regulations, and Technical infrastructure) and global factors (including fluidity, multiplicity of innovations, and complexity of technologies). The level of these capabilities will determine the catch up strategy. Understanding these factors helps to influence the speed and power of technological learning in firms and industries in developing countries. Considering the development of technological capabilities and absorption capacity at the level of enterprises with the aim of promoting the localization of technology, choosing the appropriate method for acquiring technology in order to encourage learning and acquiring new skills, as well as paying attention to the development of complementary capabilities will lead to the development of technological learning and the success of the technological plans in the country.

Cloud computing can have various advantages for organizations including reduction in costs and increased flexibility. Nonetheless, transition from the current system on the cloud computing is not a simple task because it depends on various of factors. In this applied research, the main purpose is to investigate the influential factors in admission of e-health system based on cloud computing in a number of public hospitals in Tehran. In the present study, path analysis was done using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) to perceive the factors influencing the admission of cloud computing in e-health system from IT employees' viewpoint. Reviewing the related literature on Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) Model and the theory of Diffusion of Innovations (DOI), four main factors and 17 sub criteria were identified. These factors and sub-criteria were determined according to comments of specialists, university professors and IT and health experts based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Partial Least Squares. Results show that environmental factors such as regulations, competitive pressure, commercial pressure and organizational structure, and technological factors such as accessibility, reliability, security, privacy and trust should be considered as organizational objectives when adopting the e-health system based on cloud computing. Results of the present study can play an important role in organizations such as the ministry of health and medical education that are concern about this issue. Manuscript profile -
