As indicated by a worldwide common perspective about health and sustainable health systems, the health structure as a part of public health is a key theme of many societies. The future is shaped by probable future scenarios, for which dealing practically has many complications. This study is focused on the future scenarios for a comprehensive sustainable health financing model to support a superior structure for a decision and policy-making pilot for the society. This aim is followed based on multiple attribute decision making (MADM)-based scenarios using two MADM methods, step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) and weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS), as a hybrid model which is the first real case study of the approach. Four main probable future scenarios are identified and selected based on experts’ viewpoints about sustainable health financing models. These scenarios include membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO), dynamic basic insurance, international cooperation, and effective resources management. The process of evaluating based on the approach works as a wider picture, including all criteria and alternatives together. Sustainable medical services, empowering the private sector in both production and technology, and employing international managers took place as the top priority for considering the most applicable alternatives in the future. This structure is designed and developed in Iran’s context, and the Institute for Futures Studies in Health is the pilot of the research.

Abstract Background: Sustainable financing for Health Promotion Services (HPS) has always been challenged and attracted the attention of health domain politicians. This study was conducted to aim at designing a sustainable health financing model for HPS in IranMethods: This combined study was conducted in two phases. First, the published comparative study of sustainable financing for HPS and comprehensive study of the related current documents with this subject from 2005 to 2017 were used. In the second phase, the qualitative interviews for Iran’s current situation and capacities for sustainable health financing of HPS and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) meetings for finalized the aforementioned model were used.Results: The rules and advantages of levying sin tax, the related stakeholders in sustainable health financing, challenges and solutions of gathering, pooling, and purchasing of sustainable financial resources have been extracted.Conclusion: According to the results, there is no political and national commitment to executing sustainable health financing regulations in Iran. Lack of necessary infrastructures for their execution, resistance, and disagreement of harmful good industries are the barriers to executing these regulations. The model was suggested establishing a health promotion foundation and the permanent law for execution necessity and legitimacy of receiving public budget, sin tan, health tax, and duties will be provided.

Argopecten purpuratus is a scallop distributed in the Pacific coast of Chile and Peru. Although this species is mass cultured in both countries there is no morphological description available of the development of this bivalve except for few characterizations of some larval stages described for culture purposes. In this work veliger larvae (app. 140 pm length) were examined by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to study some aspects of the organogenesis of this species.Veliger larvae were obtained from hatchery cultures, relaxed with a solution of MgCl2 and killed by slow addition of 21 glutaraldehyde (GA) in seawater (SW). They were fixed in 2% GA in calcium free artificial SW (pH 8.3), rinsed 3 times in calcium free SW, and dehydrated in a graded ethanol series. The larvae were critical point dried and mounted on double scotch tape (DST). To permit internal view, some valves were removed by slightly pressing and lifting the tip of a cactus spine wrapped with DST, The samples were coated with 20 nm gold and examined with a JEOL JSM T-300 operated at 15 KV.
