These considerations should be borne in mind when assessing cost-effectiveness ratios, for example, via the application of equity weights.
Within the context of the BC Core Public Health Functions framework, the essential public health functions (entitled strategies), the 20 core programmes, and the application of equity and population lenses are specific public health functions which are supported by system capacity [ 15].
In this approach to identifying priority populations, a population health lens is explicitly discussed while the application of an equity lens is assumed in the use of terms such as 'health inequities'.
Thus, as part of a large study on the application of urban health equity assessment and response tool (Urban HEART) in Tehran [ 21], and alongside with our previous efforts [ 22, 23], the aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Iranian version of SF-12v2 among a general Iranian population.

In applications in which other dimensions of equity are central, particularly those involving mobile sources (where the spatial extent of impact is lesser and local socioeconomic and demographic factors may be more influential), other measures should be used.
Together these facts raise serious issues of equity in the application of already vague university regulations and laws.
Mercy, unlike pardon and forgiveness, is an exercise of equity, which is an application of justice in light of the unique circumstances of individual cases.
