Indicators for measuring entrepreneurship development were desined using a literature review, semi-structured interviews, expert panel, and the Delphi technique. The participants in this study included 24 experts and senior managers from Iran's health system and universities of medical sciences in the field of entrepreneurship in the health system, as well as, experts from other sectors, including university faculties of the Ministry of Science and Research. Experts were selected from various departments based on the specific criteria through and purposeful sampling. Thematic analysis method was used manually to analyze the data.

The systematic literature review examined 13 studies, identifying 82 entrepreneurship indicators. This study, through a systematic review and expert opinion, finally identified 50 entrepreneurship indicators in six main areas: infrastructure and entrepreneurship development capacities (13 indicators), research (11 indicators), education (7 indicators), management and structure (2 indicators), investment and foundation in academic entrepreneurship (8 indicators) and productivity and outcome of academic entrepreneurship (9 indicators).

This study developed specific indicators for measuring entrepreneurship in universities of medical sciences, which can be utilized for assessment and planning to improve the state of entrepreneurship in these institutions.

Human resource planning of faculties in medical sciences universities is an important requirement to achieve the function of producing health workforce. This study aimed to develop a model for the estimation of faculties in universities of medical sciences.

In this practical study, factors influencing the workload of faculty members were identified by quantitative and qualitative method. Data collection was done by document review, expert group interviews and curriculum analysis. Approaches based on curricula and the requirements of specialized boards were used to develop the model. Data entry and analysis were done in Microsoft Excel 2010.

To estimate the faculty members required for specialized, sub-specialized and fellowship courses of medicine, linear model consisting of the combined variable of the number of annual student admissions multiplied by the academic staff coefficient and the variable of the fixed number of faculty for each course, as well as the specialties required separately for each course, was constructed. The needed faculties for other courses were according to the other model consists of the independent variable of the number of students and a combined variable namely "faculty member coefficient", constructed of parameters including the number of credit hours obligated to be taught by a faculty member per semester, the optimum number of students in the class, the number of majors' semesters and the course's adjusted value.

This model is an innovative method to estimate the needed faculties in Iranian universities of medical sciences that could raise the efficiency of health workforce's production.

Researches show that limited models have been designed to measure the maturity of digital transformation in libraries, however, no valid and reliable tool has been provided to measure the maturity of digital transformation in academic libraries so far. Identifying the factors affecting the maturity of digital transformation and managing its correct use in the libraries of medical sciences universities is of particular importance in improving the efficiency and effectiveness and as a result, the success and growth of the libraries. Therefore, the purpose of the current research is to compile and validate a suitable tool to determine the factors affecting the maturity of digital transformation in the libraries of medical sciences universities.

The type of qualitative (exploratory) study was based on the plan of developing the tool, which was carried out in two phases: in the first phase, to collect information related to the identification of factors affecting the maturity of digital transformation, the meta-composite method was used under “ Sandelowski and Barroso's model. Then, in the second phase of the Delphi method, the factors were localized and adapted to the topic. The intended community in the met composite section was all related sources from reliable databases, with 82 sources. After extracting, screening, and considering the input and output criteria of the researchers, 41 Persian and Latin sources were selected. The statistical population in the Delphi phase included 15 professors and experts in the field of digital maturity and digital technologies in universities of medical sciences who were selected in a non-probable and purposeful way according to the criteria for entering the research (relevance of work experience and organizational position and field of study of the experts to the subject research, conflict with the discussed issue, having at least 5 years of work experience) as samples. The measurement tool was a structured questionnaire of 69 questions created by the researcher, which was compiled by reviewing the previous findings and then sent to the experts in two stages with the help of the fuzzy Delphi technique, and finally 61 final questions were obtained.

In this research, based on the findings of the meta-combination section, 69 primary categories for the maturity of digital transformation were identified first by reviewing the literature and backgrounds. Then, in the next step, a relationship was established between these categories, and they were categorized into 13 items. Then, the identified main categories were divided into 2 general categories (internal and external factors). Then, for quality control, the validity and internal reliability of check methods were used. The size of the Kappa coefficient (0.78) in this research indicated the good internal reliability of the obtained results. Finally, for validation, the developed tool was provided to the members of the Delphi panel, which had 15 members. After two stages of fuzzy Delphi and after making corrections and removing irrelevant items (8 items) and the agreement score of experts in the rest of the factors (61 items), it was observed that the disagreement of experts in the first and second steps did not have a significant difference and the agreement score of experts in all commons was more than 70%; therefore, the survey was stopped in the second stage, and all factors were confirmed. The results of the fuzzy Delphi analysis led to the confirmation of 61 items of the digital transformation maturity questionnaire in the libraries of medical sciences universities in 2 main components (inter-organizational factors and extra-organizational factors) and 13 subcomponents.

The developed tool provides researchers with criteria for determining the state of maturity for digital transformation in the libraries of medical sciences universities. The discovered factors include 10 internal organizational factors (digital culture development, digital infrastructure development factor, new technology infrastructure development factor, human resources development factor, management resource development factor, digital strategy development factor, digital support factor, organizational rules and regulations factor, financial resources factor and experience development factor (digital users) and 3 components of extra-organizational factors (collaboration and support of upstream and academic institutions, the factor of development of national culture in the field of digital transformation and the factor of national laws and regulations) which can be used as a suitable tool to measure the maturity of digital transformation in libraries.

Human capital is the most vital strategic element and the most basic way to improve the performance and efficiency of an organization. Concerning the importance of human resources, it is obvious that in order to achieve the goals of the health system, human resources must have a favorable sense of belonging and commitment in addition to skills and expertise. Based on this, the current study aimed at providing a structural model for predicting professional commitment based on the components of self-leadership among the employees of a medical science university.

  The current applied research utilized a descriptive-correlational design. The statistical population of the employees of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (northwest of Iran) was 976. Of this amount, 276 individuals were estimated as the statistical sample based on Cochran's formula and were randomly selected. Data were collected randomly through a questionnaire. In this study, structural equation modeling based on PLS3 software was used to test the hypotheses.

  The results indicated that the components of self-leadership-visualization of successful performance, personal goal setting, self-rewarding, evaluation of beliefs and assumptions, personal observation, focusing on natural rewards, and self-guidance had a positive effect on professional commitment among the employees of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. What is more, the components of self-leadership positively predicted professional commitment.

  Strengthening the components of self-leadership among employees will lead to the improvement of their morale, job satisfaction, and professional commitment, and in general, a better manifestation of lofty goals and a significant increase in the performance of the organization.

Technology commercialization is a critical link between universities, industry, and society because it creates added value and contributes to organizations' sustainability and nations' advancement. Existing studies indicate that technology commercialization is a highly complex and risky endeavor; therefore, addressing all influencing factors can enhance the likelihood of success in this domain. In this study, after conducting situation analysis and identifying existence shortcomings, the practical suggestions were offered. Evidence suggests that medical universities in Iran face significant challenges related to the context, input, process, output, and outcomes of technology commercialization. Prolonged persistence of these issues might result in the inefficient distribution of resources and a deterioration of the institutions' reputation at both national and international scales. Consequently, Iranian medical universities must design and implement comprehensive, effective interventions to overcome the obstacles they face in this area. In this regard, these universities must continuously monitor and assess internal and external organizational environments, focusing on organizational culture and factors such as legal, industrial, marketing, and general economic conditions. They should work to remove identified barriers and promote a culture that supports creativity and quality. Furthermore, ensuring that the informational, financial, human, and physical resources required for technological commercialization are made available promptly and in an adequate quantity and quality is crucial. Universities should also develop their educational, consultative, communicative, and developmental mechanisms within the framework of strategic and operational programs. Moreover, these universities need to establish mechanisms for the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the quantity and quality of commercialized products and services, as well as to assess their short- and long-term impacts on areas such as domestic and international customer satisfaction, organizational partnerships, job creation, exports, and the economic growth and self-sufficiency of the country.

University professors are responsible for educating students academically and developing and enhancing their ethical values. Therefore, they must have a high level of ethical sensitivity. The present study aimed to determine the ethical sensitivity of the faculty members at Alborz University of Medical Sciences.

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the first semester of the academic year 2020-2021 at Alborz University of Medical Sciences. The research population consisted of all faculty members (N=230) included in the study through a census method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire assessing ethical sensitivity. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 27 and descriptive and inferential statistics at a significance level of P<0.05.

The mean ethical sensitivity of participating faculty members in this study was 4.36 ± 0.39, which was higher than the average. The examination of the mean dimensions of ethical sensitivity also showed that all dimensions of ethical sensitivity had a higher-than-average mean. The highest mean was for the dimension of "attention and respect for others" with a mean of 4.60 ± 0.44, and the lowest mean was for the dimension of "self-awareness" with a value of 4.06 ± 0.56. A significant relationship was observed between ethical sensitivity and work experience.

The self-assessment score of ethical sensitivity of the participating faculty members in this study was high. Further studies are needed to determine why, despite the high rating of University professors in terms of ethical sensitivity, educational environments, and learners still face ethical challenges.

In universities, the issue of attracting and retaining faculty members is of great importance. If this is not possible for any reason, it can lead to the academic stagnation of academic staff members the loss of motivation in their career path, and interruption in the implementation of their seven duties. Considering the importance of the advancement of academic staff members as educational and research elites of the country and their significant role in training skilled human resources, especially the role of academic staff members of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education in training graduates of medical sciences that are related to the general health of the society, are related, this study was carried out to identify, diagnosing the factors and ways to prevent their scientific stagnation.

This study was conducted with a qualitative method from January to December 2023. In this research, according to the nature of qualitative research, to explain the perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of the participants, the purposeful sampling method with maximum diversity was used, as well as the snowball sampling method because the goal was to select participants, Which was a rich source of information and helped the researcher to better understand the concept of scientific stagnation. The participants were faculty members who had been faculty members for at least 10 years. In addition to conducting in-depth and semi-structured interviews, upstream documents and the results of similar studies were also examined.

In total, 3 themes, 18 categories, and 118 codes were extracted as follows: The main themes of this study are the causes of scientific stagnation, the challenges of the advancement path, and the strategies to prevent scientific stagnation. The theme of scientific stagnation includes 47 codes and 6 categories (individual, organizational, psychological, skill, job, and research factors). The content of the challenges of the promotion path, including 33 codes and 6 categories (the challenges of the path of the promotion regulations, challenges in cultural, educational, research, executive activities, and challenges of examining cases for promotion of scientific rank). The content of the solutions to prevent scientific stagnation includes 38 codes and 6 categories (the solution to prevent scientific stagnation in connection with the regulation of promotion, cultural, educational, research, executive activities, and the review of files for the promotion of scientific rank.)

Based on the results of the present study, the researchers identified the causes of scientific stagnation; also, they believe that revising the promotion regulations is the most important way to prevent scientific stagnation. They stated that in the revision of the bylaws, in addition to the quantitative indicators, in each of the scoring factors, their quality can also be addressed. In terms of education, the quality and innovation of education should be considered. In the research section, pay attention to the applicability of the research. They believed that scientific stagnation is preventable and can be countered through broader scientific productivity measures and reward systems that encourage innovative and exploratory projects. In the executive department, the quality of work and useful changes and developments during the executive activity should be the criteria. In cultural activities, pay attention to social and quality activities; also, they brought up the faster process of promotion cases and the existence of elite human resources to handle possible problems. They stated that with the approach of delegating authority to the country's medical sciences universities and revising the promotion and promotion bylaws, it is possible to deal with the factors causing scientific stagnation and take a step towards a responsive university.

 The necessity of up-to-date information and knowledge of the staff of medical sciences universities, which are the standard bearers of public health, is doubly important compared to some other organizations, and knowledge management is applied to improve the quality of services. Various studies have been conducted on knowledge management among healthcare workers in Iran. Therefore, our study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the application of knowledge management among medical university personnel in Iran.

 using advanced search in PubMed / MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, MagIran, SID databases with keywords knowledge management, university of medical sciences/ hospital/ health/ treatment, Iran and similar words, all articles published in English or Persian languages were reviewed. The variance of each study was calculated according to the binomial distribution and the heterogeneity of the studies using the I2 index. Data analysis was done using Rev5.3 software.

 All samples were 2748 people in 17 studies. The application rate of knowledge management in medical sciences universities of Iran is 2.93 (CI; 2.80-3.06), which is lower than the average. This amount has been investigated at the optimal level only in the medical sciences universities of Tehran in the initial studies.

 Considering the lower-than-average estimate of applying knowledge management and the increasing importance of it in universities of medical sciences in today's world, the need for managers' serious attention and appropriate and timely planning in this field is necessary. In this regard, employees must be aware of the importance and benefits of knowledge management in different ways so that they can use knowledge management in practice.
