Abstract
Backgrounds: Nowadays one of the major problems in research ethics, especially in medical researches, is how to make bioethics codes practical and how to oblige researchers to perform them. In this essay, we have tried to suggest all detailed activities of different management sides which have a role in different phases of performing a research project, to make codes more practical.
Materials and Methods: In order to provide a practical guideline in medial research ethics issue from different points of view, a workshop was held by the presence of some representatives from type1 medical universities, 9 research centers, Pasteur Institute, molecular research and stem cells networks, and members of national research ethics committee.
Results: Participants were divided into 5 groups based on their proficiency and management scopes and edited the task's descriptions. These groups included: 1) task's description for ethics committee of universities 2) task's description for research executive managers and research deputies of universities and research centers 3) task's description for professors, executors, managers, research deputies of departments and research council's department 4) task's description for international relationship committees of universities 5) task's description for publishing committees. These 5 groups were chosen deliberatively.
Conclusion: Considering importance of bioethics, interference of environmental and sociological factors, local area culture and existence of executive facilities, providing practical codes of ethics needs group assistance and researchers' national impetus, research affairs accomplishment and massive country management.

Abstract
Self-citation is a behavior that is seen to varying degrees in researchers, research centers and medical journals. The question is whether self-citation is moral or not.
This is a descriptive and analytical study (library and document research). Two main keywords (self-citation and ethics) were used for searching databases. In addition, efforts have been made for moral evaluation of self-citation by review articles from databases, ethical-codes and related guidelines.When self-citation is employed to drive readers to a better and easier understanding of an article, it is acceptable and even necessary, but when it is done mainly to increase reference to one’s articles, it is non-essential. Since unnecessary self-citation could mislead researchers and policymakers, bring false prestige for individuals, institutions and magazines, and create unhealthy competition among researchers, it is immoral. Moreover, forcing authors to use an article as reference without a scientific reason is wrong and unethical practice.Modification of evaluation methods for researchers, magazines and research centers to eliminate self-citation and also appropriately informing them about the ethical aspects of unnecessary self-citation could be effective in reducing this phenomenon. It is recommended to observe and inform the rate of unnecessary self- citation among authors, research centers and journals.

Abstract
In human communication, the relationship between the patient and the physician is one of the most challenging issues. This relationship is of critical importance in the medical ethics and forms the base of medical measures. Relationship between the physician and the patient brings about mutual trust between them to the extent that it overshadows physician’s skills. A physician needs to have the art of communication with the patients as well as his information in medical sciences. Damaging this communication leads to lack of efficiency, trust and satisfaction in the treatment of the patient. The authors of this article seek to analyze the major issues of medical ethics in the medical texts based on Mathnawi. Rumi has also made special mention of physicians' responsibilities and ethical duties in the stories of pulmonology, physiology, herbal therapy, routine treatment, and etc. In The story of “King and Handmaiden”, Confidentiality, Compassion, Kindness, and the expertise of saint against Handmaiden are issues that they are discussing in medical ethics. At the end of the story, audiences unbelievably are evaluating the performance of saint as opposed to the spirit of Hippocratic oath. In the story of “the old man and the physician”; deficiency of the communication between physician and patient is very definite. Not building trust and emotional communication in the relationship between the physician and the patient, specifically at the very first time which has happened without semiology has provided the context in which the patient distrust his physician and is not pleased with the treatment process. In the story of “Man who was desperately ill”, the physician has hidden the secret and also he has not given a clear and enough explanation for the prescription, therefore the patient's life is endangered.

Abstract
Promoting an ethical culture is crucial for ensuring job commitment and competent clinical care among nurses. Ethical culture encompasses shared understandings and perceptions that guide ethical conduct within an organization. Job commitment reflects an individual's psychological and emotional attachment to their job. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ethical culture and job commitment among nurses working in educational and medical centers affiliated with Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. This descriptive correlational study included 170 nurses selected from teaching hospitals in Hamadan using the Morgan table and based on inclusion criteria. Data were collected using demographic questionnaires, the Gobel et al. Ethical Culture Questionnaire, and the Schaufeli Job Commitment Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22 software. A significant and positive correlation was found between ethical culture and nurses' job commitment (r=0.42, p<0.05). Ethical culture was significantly higher among nurses with more work experience and female nurses compared to their counterparts. Additionally, job commitment was significantly higher among male nurses and those with formal employment status. The findings demonstrate a strong positive correlation between ethical culture and job commitment among nurses. Enhancing ethical culture within healthcare settings through effective leadership, clear ethical guidelines, and open communication channels can significantly improve job satisfaction and, ultimately, patient care. Further research is needed to explore the specific factors that contribute to ethical culture within different healthcare contexts.
