A way of approximate determination of quality criteria based on modeling and simulation is given.
A new stage appears to have been reached in the acceptance of a field in which the definition of quality criteria is notoriously elusive.
The project has been established in three steps: 1) Design of a survey about the use of quality tools in a wide sample of European hospitals; 2) Development of quality criteria and quality indicators by the project experts.
Two types of training have been designed and performed: one concerns the development of quality criteria and quality indicators, whereas another is focused on how to use evaluation tools.
As a result of the study, the following set of quality criteria was proposed and approved: Alkalinity > 80, 80 < [Ca2+] < 120, 3 < CCPP < 10 (all concentrations in mg/L as CaCO3), and pH < 8.5.
Studies using (peer) assessment for learning were evaluated with regard to use of quality criteria under two perspectives: their recognition of educational measurement criteria, as well as their consideration of student involvement in the assessment of learning.
The case of quality criteria formulation helps the socio-epistemic justification and vice versa.
The mean concentrations of the metals under consideration complied with international guidelines of quality criteria for drinking water.
The complete list of quality criteria is accessible to all interested scientists via the DaNa2.0 website [17].
We will show why the analogy between the two classes of quality criteria is not immediate but possible.
In summary, the papers of this Topical Collection provide many insights into important aspects of quality criteria.
