Undoubtedly, your efforts will improve the health level of society and your reward is reserved by God. We thank God that the Iran’s Congress on Quality improvement in clinical Laboratories has been the seedbed of much remarkable advancement in medical sector and academia during the past decade. These would have not been possible without your valuable comments and criticisms and also the synergy of the Congress organizers. We hope that the 10th Congress will be held outstandingly with the participation of all Sympathetic community members in the spring 2012, concurrent with its decennial ceremony; and may it add to the honors of the country’s laboratory community. The scientific programs of the congress have been planned by inviting professors and researchers from universities and research centers around the country, as well as prominent professors from other world countries. They give their presentations and run workshops within the framework of 13 scientific disciplines. Hereby, all researches are invited to submit their research papers within the framework of congress disciplines via the congress website. Once accepted, they can deliver their paper as oral or poster presentations. Worth mentioning is that it has been attempted to include emerging subjects as the congress disciplines - ones that have been less debated in the previous years. Moreover, the congress intends to discuss issues that the country’s laboratories are facing now with the aim of providing the latest scientific information and practical solutions for existing challenges of clinical laboratories. In the end, we would like to express our gratitude to all professors, pioneers, sponsors, and companies, whose supports enable us to organize the congress at a magnificent level. Dr. M. R.

Way, Next to Milad tower-Tehran-Iran., [email protected] Background and Aim: One of the major goals of blood transfusion centers is to improve quality and safety of blood component products. Nowadays, statistical methods are used to monitor blood components quality control results. Measurement of mean, standard deviation, coefficient variation and bias for determination of random, systematic and total errors are the subjects which are applied in this field. Quality control process includes quality control samples, te sting, determine control limits, include to all test runs, data collection, data analysis, monitor variation and if variation identified investigate. Precision and accuracy are statistical tools which are used to determine random and systematic errors. Random errors are inherent in system and data to fall above or below mean, which increase standard deviation and coefficient variation. But, systematic errors usually create two populations of data with different mean value which causes bias. The aim of this study is to use statistical methods and control chart in screening test results to improve quality and safety of blood component products. Methods: First, 20 to 30 test runs using 3 different reagent batches of a kit are tested for monitoring variations and drawing control charts. Sample/cut-off data of positive control are collected and mean, standard deviation and CV are measured and control chart is established with using Mean ± 2SD.

  • Iran and Central Asia: a Cultural Perspective1
    Iran and Central Asia: A Cultural Perspective1 Davood Kiani One of the most important tools utilized by states to maximize their impact in foreign affairs is public diplomacy and to this extent, public diplomacy is considered a source of soft power. The robust use of public diplomacy can enhance and reinforce the soft power of countries. Central Asia is among the regions that have an ever increasing relevance to regional and international affairs in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and is currently considered a critical subsystem for our country. The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards this region is, on one hand, built on the foundation of converging factors in political, economic, and cultural arenas and looking towards opportunities for influence and cooperation. On the other hand, considering the divergent components, it also faces challenges and threats, the sum of which continues to effect the orientation of Iranian foreign policy towards the region. This article will study Iranian public diplomacy in this region and examine the opportunities and challenges, as well as, provide and proper model for a successful public diplomacy in the region of Central Asia, while taking into account the Islamic Republic of Iran’s tools and potential.

  • Biden, Congress Should Defend Missile Sanctions Imposed on Iran
    Research memo Biden, Congress Should Defend Missile Sanctions Imposed on Iran By Richard Goldberg, Matthew Zweig, Behnam Ben Taleblu, and Saeed Ghasseminejad April 27, 2021 Introduction During a March 2021 appearance before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged not to make any concessions to Iran regarding its missile program while persuading Tehran to return to compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).1 Less than one month later, however, State Department Spokesperson Ned Price refused to rule out missile-sanctions relief as an inducement for the regime to rejoin the deal.2 Offering Iran missile-sanctions relief without first addressing the Islamic Republic’s robust missile program should be alarming to Congress. The JCPOA imposes no limits on Iran’s missile development and proliferation; instead, the deal schedules UN restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missiles to expire in 2023.3 During the years the United States participated in the JCPOA (2015 to 2018), Iran launched at least 27 ballistic missiles as part of tests or military operations.4 Last year, the clerical regime fired ballistic missiles at military bases in Iraq housing American personnel.5 Iran’s terrorist proxies use Iranian-supplied ballistic and cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to target and harass U.S. forces and allies across the Middle East. Between all of this and Tehran’s ambitions 1. Rachel Oswald, “Blinken tells House panel to expect firmness toward Iran, China,” MSN, March 10, 2021.

  • Legal Status of Offshore Bunkering in EEZ and Other Maritime Zones, Based on the Case Law of ITLOS
    1 Public Law Studies Quarterly, Vol. 47, No. 2, Summer 2017 Legal Status of Offshore Bunkering in EEZ and other Maritime Zones, Based on the Case Law of ITLOS Seyed Bagher Mirabbasi1*, Abootaleb Amirshaabani2 Abstract The Exclusive Economic Zone made its first appearance in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. By creating this zone, the convention met coastal states' needs to a large extent. However, since the Exclusive Economic zone covers a very large area of the Sea (almost one-third), powerful maritime states did not consent to grant all the rights and jurisdictions to the coastal states. Such disagreement led to devising sovereign rights regime for the zone, which is less decisive in settling disputes, as opposed to sovereignty regime. As a result, since the adoption of the law of the sea Convention, many disputes have been arisen with regard to its jurisdictional matters. One of the most popular disputes in this regard is offshore bunkering of foreign fishing vessels, which was eventually decided by ITLOS in the seminal case of M/V Virginia G. Based on this case and other related cases of ITLOS, this article aims at commenting on the legality of offshore bunkering of other ships and vessels in EEZ and other maritime zones.

    Iranian Internet Infrastructure and Policy Report April 2014 smallmedia.org.uk This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License INTRODUCTION // Despite the election of the moderate Hassan Rouhani to the presidency last year, Iran’s systematic filtering of online content and mobile phone apps continues at full-pace. In this month’s edition of the Iranian Internet Infrastructure and Policy Report, Small Media takes a closer look at one of the bodies most deeply-enmeshed with the process of overseeing and directing filtering policies - the ‘Commission to Determine the Instances of Criminal Content’ (or CDICC). This month’s report also tracks all the usual news about Iran’s filtering system, national Internet policy, and infrastructure development projects. As well as tracking high-profile splits in the estab- lishment over the filtering of the chat app WhatsApp, this month’s report also finds evidence that the government has begun to deploy the National Information Network (SHOMA), or ‘National Internet’, with millions of Iranians using it to access the government’s new online platform for managing social welfare and support. 2 THE COMMISSION TO DETERMINE THE INSTANCES OF CRIMINAL CONTENT (CDICC) THE COMMISSION TO DETERMINE THE INSTANCES OF CRIMINAL CONTENT (CDICC) overview The Commission to Determine the Instances of Criminal Content (CDICC) is the body tasked with monitoring cyberspace, and filtering criminal Internet content. It was established as a consequence of Iran’s Cyber Crime Law (CCL), which was passed by Iran’s Parliament in May 2009. According to Article 22 of the CCL, Iran’s Judiciary System was given the mandate of establishing CDICC under the authority of Iran’s Prosecutor’s Office.

  • (CUWS) Outreach Journal # 1261
    USAF Center for Unconventional Weapons Studies (CUWS) Outreach Journal CUWS Outreach Journal 1261 28 April 2017 Featured Item: “Understanding North Korea’s Missile Tests”. Authored by Shea Cotton, published by the Nuclear Threat Initiative; April 24, 2017 http://www.nti.org/analysis/articles/understanding-north-koreas-missile-tests/ Since 2014, North Korea has dramatically altered its missile testing patterns, launching missiles much more frequently and from a variety of new locations. Recognizing the importance of understanding the proliferation implications of these patterns, the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) has created a database of every known North Korean missile launch. The CNS database reveals more subtle changes than simply an increase in the number of missiles that North Korea has launched. The data reveals: • North Korea has created sites specifically dedicated to developmental testing of missiles • North Korea has largely abandoned its original missile test site dedicated to development and design verification tests, the Tonghae Satellite Launching Ground. The regime has shifted space launches to the Sohae Satellite Launch Center, and developmental missile tests to Wonsan • Many recent launches of extended range Scud and Nodong missiles, rather than being developmental in nature, have been undertaken as operational tests at relevant military units' training grounds Taken together, these trends make the clear and disturbing point that North Korea has been conducting launch exercises, consistent with the regime’s probable intent to deploy nuclear weapons to missile units throughout the country.
