Low cost of use has been the most important advantage and lack of interest and resistance to use have been the most important challenges of using social networks in library marketing.

Smartphone-based medical applications are tools for accessing the latest valid scientific evidence. These programs can improve decision-making and communication between medical staff and reduce medical errors. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of knowledge and use of smartphone applications among medical students of Iran University of Medical Sciences.

This study was an applied study that was done by a descriptive-survey method. 81 final-year medical students of Iran University of Medical Sciences were selected by a census in the period 2017-2018. To collect the data, a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of three parts with a Likert scale was used, and its validity and reliability were measured and analyzed using SPSS software version 21.

More than 40% of the students used medical applications at different times of the week. Lack of Internet access at university and at work was the biggest barrier to accessing medical applications on a mobile phone. Most of the support needed to use these programs was to use the available online guides. UpToDate and MedScape medical programs were also the most used ones by the respondents.

The present study shows that medical students’ level of knowledge and use of smartphone-based medical applications, or rather, their level of knowledge and understanding of the applications is on the increase based on their information or experience. Therefore, necessary measures should be taken to facilitate and create Internet access infrastructure in the workplace and universities.

With the acceleration of change and the emergence of new ideas in the postmodern era, the way of thinking of managers has undergone changes and the need to get acquainted with new management topics has been raised. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the application of modern postal management components in museums in Tehran.

To obtain the sample size, Cochran's formula was used at an error level of 5%, which was calculated as 205 people (47 managers and 158 employees). A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, which includes 33 questions in six components of postmodern management: persuasion (5 questions), self-control (5 questions), servant leadership (7 questions), active organization (5 questions), innovation (6 questions), etc. "Creation (5 questions)" was designed in two existing and desirable situations. Descriptive and inferential tests (chi-square test) by SPSS software version 19 were used to analyze the data.

Due to the fact that the level of significance (sig = 0.00) among the staff of museums in Tehran is less than 0.05, the rate of application of each of the components of postmodern management (persuasion, self-control, service leadership, organization) active giving, innovation, and co-creation  were below average in the current situation and above average in the desired situation. In the current situation, the most and the least possibility were related to "innovation" and "co-creation", respectively. In the optimal situation, the most and the least possibility were related to "co-creation" and "self-control", respectively. Also, in terms of demographic variables, there was a significant difference in the gender variable of "incentive" and "active organization" components. There was a significant difference in the type of work variable in all postmodern components except the "persuasion" component. There was a significant difference in the field of study in all components. 

Given the importance and role of museums in the postmodern era, museum managers and staff should be able to see horizontally beyond the temporary issues of the parent organization.  Delegating authority to employees and creating a team culture in order to increase creativity and innovation, change the perspectives and strategies of the organization in accordance with environmental changes and hold training courses to pay more attention.

Since Internet is an important source of information and search tools are used to retrieve information on the web, it is important to identify the capabilities and limitations of these tools. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of search engines and specialized medical databases based on four categories of search criteria, display, navigation, and user-friendliness in the field of recovery of common cancers.

This was a descriptive study. Based on the data collected and their content description, the performance of search engines and specialized medical databases in the recovery of common cancers was compared. Five free and controlled keywords for common cancers were selected from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and were searched in five specialized medical search engines and three specialized medical databases. In order to evaluate the performance of search engines and specialized medical databases, a researcher-made checklist was used and data were described using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, and average) and Excel software.

In the search engine and database performance and display criteria, the Trip search engine and PubMed-Embase database, in terms of navigation criteria, the Trip and WebMD search engines and Embase database, and in terms of user-friendliness, the Medlineplus search engine and Embase database scored the highest.

According to the results of the present study, the performance of search engines and specialized medical databases in recovering common cancers was different based on different criteria and users can use any of them according to their needs.

Choosing a field of study affects different aspects of people's lives. Therefore, the influencing factors of the choice of students can contribute to the transparency of this issue.

This was a descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study, conducted in 2019. The 243 people who made the sample were selected through Morgan table from the population which consisted of all the librarianship and medical information students between 2015 and 2019 in undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs. The data collection tool was a standard questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 by independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance.

The results indicated that among the five components of "interest in the field", "employment, income and social status", "the role of family and friends", "personal motivations and service to society" and "academic position and teaching staff of the university"; The component of "academic position and academic staff of the university" had the highest average (3.35) and the component of "role of family and friends" had the lowest (2.17).

Since the name and academic position of the university had the greatest impact on the choice of field according to the results, it is expected that the authorities of public universities set the foundations for the scientific growth and prosperity of students. It is also recommended that programs be prepared to inform the students about the fields of librarianship and medical information at school level and through social media so that this field is selected with personal interest and high motivation.

One of the most important infrastructures for the development and progress of countries is scientific outputs and targeted research to meet the needs of society and reduce the disease burden. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the number of scientific outputs indexed in PubMed, related to ten diseases with the highest mortality rate in Iran and the burden of each disease in 2000-2017.

In this applied study with a scientometric approach, firstly, the data on ten diseases with the highest mortality rates, in order of rank, in Iran were obtained from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Next, two health indicators, the number of lost years due to disability or death and disability caused by diseases and injuries related to each disease was extracted from the relevant site. Afterwards, using the controlled terms as the subject of the mesh, the related words with their synonyms in each disease were documented and then searched. Descriptive statistics was used to calculate the descriptive indicators and Pearson correlation test was applied to determine the relationship between the variables.

The findings showed that as the years progressed towards the present time, the number of scientific outputs related to ten diseases with the highest mortality rate in Iran increased, but it was relatively fewer in some diseases such as maternal and neonatal disorders, chronic respiratory diseases, transportation injuries and unintentional injuries. There was no relationship between the number of articles in the studied time periods and variables of disease burden. The trend of changes in the number of scientific outputs in ten diseases with the highest mortality rate in Iran and burden of each disease was not the same.

Although health researchers have done numerous quantitative researches, many of them have not been solved the problem, and it seems that the researches have not been guided in the right direction. Problem-based research is not designed. Grant allocations have not been based on the facts at the universities and research centers. Professional management of academic research must be created to meet the real needs of the community. Moreover, medical universities can perform their research based on these priority topics.
