In this paper, an integrated academic accreditation program (named IAAP) is developed. The main focus of this study was engineering education, and a case study of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at Taiz University (TU), Yemen was considered. The IAAP is developed by integrating two academic accreditation programs, the national program (Council of Accreditation and Quality Assurance: CAQA) and the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). A clause-by-clause comparison of the criteria of the two programs (CAQA and ABET) was applied to construct the IAAP. The developed program is applicable to any other engineering faculty in Yemen. An investigation of the capability of implementing the IAAP was conducted. The investigation process involved the six academic departments of the faculty under study. A weighing and scoring scheme was obtained for each element of the IAAP using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP).

The fire incident in karaoke buildings in Indonesia which claimed many lives has occurred several times. According to the National Academy of Science US, the smoke toxins that come out of the fire disaster cause 50-80% of deaths. Refers to the data, it is necessary to check further about the building material response to fire during a fire incident. Masterpiece Signature Karaoke is a karaoke building that classified as large and magnificent in the city of Medan which has various material so that it is necessary to study the interior material as passive fire protection. The purpose is to find out how to assess the reliability of fire passive protection regard to the interior materials and recommendations or descriptions of right interior material planning using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). This method is efficacious to solve the problem of reliability in using interior materials as passive fire protection in Masterpiece Signature Family KTV Medan building with the results of an Adequate Level of reliability. Then, design recommendations were given for the use of interior materials in karaoke building to improve the reliability results to be better.The results are useful as information for other researchers and karaoke buildings regarding passive fire protection systems at the Masterpiece Signature Family KTV Medan.

Under the background of economic globalization and regional economic integration, B2C enterprises begin to focus on how to handle the relationship between logistics services and E-commerce services in the face of intense competition from other companies. This paper proposes a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) approach to select the logistics mode of B2C electronic commerce companies. In addition, a case study is presented to demonstrate how the approach can help in solving such problems in practice.

A identificação de áreas suscetíveis a inundações é essencial para o gerenciamento de desastres e definição de políticas públicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é a apresentação de um método para identificação de áreas suscetíveis a inundações através da integração de informações geográficas provenientes de técnicas do Sensoriamento Remoto, as ferramentas do Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG), a lógica Fuzzy e a aplicação de Métodos de Análise Multicritério (MAM) Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Para atingir o objetivo foi proposto um estudo de caso, localizado na Bacia do Rio Bengalas, nos municípios de Nova Friburgo e Bom Jardim (Região Serrana do Rio de Janeiro). A modelagem espacial multicritério foi realizada a partir da seleção de um conjunto de dados composto por informações geomorfológicas, hidrológicas e de uso e ocupação do solo. Como resultado, obteve-se um mapa de suscetibilidade a inundações para a região. A coerência do modelo gerado foi verificada a partir do histórico de inundações da bacia do Rio Bengalas. A metodologia, apresentou-se eficiente e adequada para a determinação de áreas suscetíveis a inundações, prevendo com sucesso a distribuição espacial de áreas com riscos a inundações.  Spatial modelling of flood-susceptible areas based on a hybrid multi-criteria model and Geographic Information System: a case study applied to the Bengalas River basin A B S T R A C TThe identification of areas susceptible to flooding is essential for disaster management and public policy making. The objective of this work is the presentation of a method for the identification of areas susceptible to floods through the integration of geographic information from Remote Sensing techniques, Geographic Information System (GIS) tools, Fuzzy logic and the application of Multicriteria Analysis Methods (MAM) Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). In order to achieve the objective, a case study was proposed, located in the Bengalas River Basin, in the municipalities of Nova Friburgo and Bom Jardim (Mountain Region of Rio de Janeiro). Multicriteria spatial modeling was performed by selecting a data set composed of geomorphological, hydrological and land use information. As a result, a flood susceptibility map was obtained for the region. The coherence of the generated model was verified from the flood history of the Bengalas River basin. The methodology was efficient and adequate for the determination of areas susceptible to floods, successfully predicting the spatial distribution of areas at risk of flooding.Keywords: flood susceptibility. Fuzzy logic. MAM. AHP. GIS.
