ABSTRACT
The rapid development of high-speed railway in China has proposed higher requests for the comfort level of high-speed trains. However, there is no internationally unified evaluation criterion for high-speed train comfort currently, which therefore substantially affects the comparability and standardization of research results for high-speed train comfort. This paper systematically reviews the research literature about evaluation indicators and standards related to high-speed train comfort, and finds that there is currently no unified definition, evaluation indicators, as well as evaluation criterion for high-speed train comfort. Most current evaluation criteria are based on a single indicator. Some indicators are simultaneously developed by different apartments and differ between each other, and there is no comprehensive indicator or criteria for high-speed train comfort, restricting the comparison of high-speed train comfort across regions. It is recommended that the administrative department of high-speed railroad in China should organize experts to establish a unified definition of high-speed train comfort, comprehensive evaluation indicators and relevant judgment criteria for high-speed train comfort, in face of the rapid development and globalization of high-speed trains.

ABSTRACT
Objective:This paper aim to analyze the influencing factors of individual academic performance based on the construction of a research-oriented hospital, to provide possible reference for improving the service of science and technology management.Methods:Selecting 45 experts determine the constituent index and assign value of the academic performance evaluation system by using Delphi method. The index setting emphasized clinical application orientation, and weighted total score was used as the academic performance evaluation standard. Conduct a-350-person anonymous questionnaire survey and use descriptive analysis and multiple logistic regression methods to analyze the influencing factors.Results:The system includes a total number of 6 first-level indicators and 43 second-level indicators. The authoritative coefficients of the consulting experts are 8.5±0.6, and the Kendall of the two rounds of consultation are 0.78 and 0.83( P<0.05). The questionnaire results show that respondents with Ph. D degree, senior professional titles, mentor qualification, from large team and higher scientific research service support have better academic performance. personal background, team support and scientific research services have significant impact on academic performance. Conclusions:In order to improve the scientific research strength of the hospital, it is significant to focus on systematic scientific research training, strengthening discipline teams and research platforms, and improving the professional level of scientific research management.

ABSTRACT
Objective The evaluation index system of quality of assisted fertility treatment care was constructed to provide the basis for scientific evaluation of quality of care in reproductive center. Methods Based on the structure-process-outcome (SPO) quality model, evaluation index system for fertility treatment care in the reproductive center was constructed by literature query, field process tracking, Delphi expert consultation and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Results The effective recovery rate ( RR ) of the two rounds of the questionnaire was 100% . The expert authority coefficient Cr values were 0.813, 0.845 respectively. The W value of the coordination coefficient was 0.331, 0.372, both of which were statistically significant (P<0.01). Finally, an evaluation index system of quality of assisted fertility treatment care with three dimensions, 14 secondary indicators and 47 items was formed. Yaaph software was used to determine the weight coefficients of primary and secondary indicators, and the consistency test ( Cr<0.1) was performed, and the variation coefficients of all tertiary items were <0.20.

ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a quality evaluation indicator system of midwifery care in line with the modern service concept in Shanghai area under the background of over-medicalization trend of midwifery services, and to guide the improvement direction of midwifery quality. Methods Guided by the evidence-based framework of midwifery quality and indicator selection principles, the indicators for evaluating midwifery quality were preliminarily selected by literature review and theoretical analysis. Two rounds of Delphi survey among 53 experts from Shanghai were conducted to decide the final quality evaluation indicator system of midwifery care. Analytic hierarchy process ( AHP) and the importance′ sum average method were adopted to calculate weights coefficients of the indicators. Results 45 indicators for evaluating midwifery quality were preliminarily selected. The response rate of two rounds of Delphi survey were 76% and 100% , the authority coefficients were 0.90 and 0.89, expert opinion coordinate coefficients were 0.190 and 0.257, respectively. The final version of the indicator system consists of 11 structure quality indicators, 13 process quality indicators and 19 outcome quality indicators. The weight values of the three first-level indicators were 0.195 8, 0.310 8 and 0.493 4 respectively. The weight values of the 43 second-level indicators ranged from 0. 016 1 to 0. 028 6. Conclusions The quality evaluation indicator system of midwifery care developed fits evidence-based midwifery philosophy. It provides a scientific tool for midwifery quality evaluation in Shanghai, which can guide the improvement of midwifery quality.
