The research activities of developing countries have increased over the last two decades. The expansion and decentralization of ethics committees necessitates appropriate performance evaluation. In 2023, a cross-sectional study was carried out on the Iranian research ethics Committees using the checklist called "Research Ethics Committee Self-Assessment Tool". The checklist was translated into Persian and revised based on the opinions of research ethics experts and the approved “regulation of establishment, grading, and description of duties for research ethics committees”. The electronic checklist was sent to the senior members of 269 research ethics committees. After gathering the data, it was analyzed using SPSS software. The response rate was 83%. The average overall score was 152.11 ± 25.173, or 69.14% of the maximum. The two sections (including continuing review (monitoring) and committee resources received less than 50% of the average score. The 138 research ethics committee scores were excellent and 85 committees were in the good range. The findings revealed that average scores are influenced by activity years, the number of monthly meetings, the presence of an approved annual budget, an approved quality improvement program, and having specific administrative staff. Completing the self-evaluation tool can raise the National Committee authorities' awareness about the adherence of the research ethics committees to the imperative standards. It can also lead to each committee's awareness of its strengths and challenges. Revision of national regulations governing the establishment, grading, and description of committee duties and then future self-evaluation can facilitate upgrading and improving the performance of ethics committees.

In addition, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data using SPSS22 and PLS2 software. Considering the finddings of the research, it showed that the factors used to assess the quality of the university including the quality of organizational, human, equipment and infrastructure and management had a significant relationship with the factors of university entrepreneurship development, and universities should consider these factors and strive to improve their quality in order to improve qualitatively improvement.

Awareness of patient satisfaction from service quality is vital to advance performance improvement strategies. The main goals to evaluate the quality of services in the health and treatment system are service performance, service identification, service performance improvement evaluation and finally providing favorable service to customers.

In this research, seven key aspects were identified to assess the quality of health care system. Then, they weighted by the best-worst fuzzy developed method. In the following by using a researcher-made questionnaire, the openions of referrals to selected departments of the treatment center have been reviewed as a statistical sample of service quality. Finally, the complex of treatment centers, hospital departments, and quality dimensions were analyzed and ranked by Fuzzy Vikor Method, Friedman statistical tests and Analysis of variance.

Development of comprehensive satisfaction assessment model could include desirable range of criteria affecting the satisfaction of the referrers to health centers. In addition, using developed multi-criteria fuzzy hybrid decision making has been able to consider the uncertainty of the assessment process for the qualitative criteria considered by the evaluators. Key findings of the research suggest that the final weights in order of priority are: pivotal patient (0.198), time (0.188), effectiveness (0.178), responsiveness (0.123), warranty (0.112), financial (0.108), and health communication (0.9).

Health centers by focusing on priority-based performance improvement programs can offer a better level of service quality and can achieve higher customer satisfaction. Therefore, they will be able to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.

Despite the great importance of comprehensive evaluation of mobile health services, as a part of ýnovel health services, most researches have only focused on the evaluation of the technical ýaspects and have neglected other aspects of these services. The main objective of this study was ýthe identification and prioritization of the indicators and dimensions of mobile health systems’ ýquality by considering all critical aspects including technical, information, and interactive ýdimensions.
This applied and descriptive study was conducted through survey method. A questionnaire was ýused to collect data the validity of which was confirmed by academic experts. The statistical ýpopulation of the study included experts of health services quality evaluation with emphasis on ýmobile health with more than 3 years of experience in this field. Using judgmental sampling (non-ýprobability purposive sampling), 28 subjects were selected and questionnaires were distributed ýamong them. The content validity of the scale was confirmed by experts and its reliability was ýapproved through calculation of inconsistency rate for all pairwise comparison matrixes (less than ýý0.1). The collected data were analyzed using the analytic hierarchy process in Expert Choice ýSoftware.
The interaction quality dimension was the most important among the dimensions of quality ýassessment of mobile health services. In addition, the indicators of privacy, effectiveness, safety, ýreal-time performance, accountability, after-sales service, and patient-centered services were ýrespectively, the most important quality indicators.
It is necessary to study mobile health services in the context of other health services and not just ýsimply as software. The success of a mobile health system is based, first, on the quality of general ýhealth service indicators such as accountability, patient-centered services, and privacy, and then, ýon the quality of software system indicators. Therefore, it is necessary for all stakeholders to be ýinvolved in the process of designing a mobile health service in order to improve the chances of ýsuccess.

Dez dam located on Karun River is one of the largest Iranian dams. In a field study, EC, NO3, NH4, PO4, turbidity, TS, alkalinity, coli, temperature, chlorophyll a, DO, BOD5, and Secchi disk (at depths of 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, and 50 m)were measured at five sampling points during 2011-2012 water year. Water Quality Index and TSI were calculated for all sampling points and quality zonation was conducted in GIS. It was found that the best water quality index for reservoir water is at second sampling point with amount of 61 situated at the center of reservoir, and the worst index is at entering point to the reservoir with amount of 46 in April. The main reason of changes was turnover of thermal stratification. The laboratory analysis and assessing the quality indices revealed that the Dez reservoir water is suitable for variety of public uses, however, it needs advanced treatment for drinking purpose. Moreover, in the case of continuity of pollutant entrance into the reservoir, the eutrophication risk would threaten the reservoir water quality. Eutrophication occurrence will cause serious limitations in water use applicability, increase turbidity, produce toxic materials, and increase sedimentation regime.
