The standardization of these issues is essential to guarantee reproducibility [ 103].
Standardization of technical issues as pre-analytical processing, time to fixation and the use of divergent fixatives are considered as further reasons for incongruent test results [ 6, 20- 22].

The challenge now is to resolve the outstanding issues of standardization of procedures, the production and storage of personal data, and other ethical aspects, which we suspect will animate scientific and regulatory debates in the next few years.
Addressing fundamental M&E system issues, further standardization of M&E practices, and increasing health services management responsiveness to time-sensitive information are critical to sustain progress related to health service delivery in Botswana.
In the present study we consider a specific issue of direct policy significance: Since many calls have been issued for standardization of handovers, we examine the extent to which handover practices of our recorded attending physicians do in fact conform to currently popular structuring schemes that might serve as handover standards.
One haldane is equivalent to a change in one phenotypic standard deviation per generation (for other measures, see discussion in Hendry and Kinnison 1999, and for alternative standardizations and issues of scale, Hereford et al. 2004; Hansen and Houle 2008).
This chapter focuses on the issue of standardization of IP for smart objects.
