The Role of Accrediting Agencies

Accrediting agencies are autonomous bodies commissioned mainly to grant accreditation to academic institutions that meet the prescribed quality standards. The accreditation process takes through a detailed systematic procedure that considers reviewing of the academic institution operations, whether teaching and learning offered to meet the quality standards, and encourages improvement to international standards. All accreditations offered by accrediting bodies call for institutional accreditation before any other type of accreditation is granted. Accreditation can be classified as international and national, where the process in both the methods have some common and different steps. Each accrediting body under the designated government authority has prescribed procedures, terms, and conditions to be fulfilled by institutions for the accreditation process. OAAA, CAA, and the NCAAA are the more active accrediting bodies operational in the GCC region commissioned in Oman, UAE, and KSA, respectively.

An Approach to solve Hexagonal Fuzzy Assignment Problem using Modified Best Candidate Method and Comparative Study with Existing Methods

The objective of fuzzy assignment problem is to find the least assignment fuzzy cost (maximum fuzzy profit) of workers with varying degree of skills to job. To attain the objective in this article, an approach involving modified best candidate method has been used to solve Hexagonal fuzzy assignment problem. To order the hexagonal fuzzy numbers Robust’s Ranking technique is applied. We examine a numerical example by using new method and compute by existing two methods. Also we compare the optimal solutions among this new method and two existing method .The proposed method is a systematic procedure, easy to apply for solving fuzzy assignment problem.

Semic verbalisation: A systematic procedure for the replication of meaning in translating lexical items

The purpose of this article is to introduce a systematic translation procedure called Semic Verbalisation (SV), which draws on componential analysis so as to first lexicalise and then translate a word's sense components. While construing a hybrid denotational-mentalistic conception of meaning, a series of steps will be formulated that are useful for solving various prac-tical translation problems. The procedure is based on philosophy of lan-guage (Russell, Tarski, Frege, Quine and Wittgenstein), linguistics (Katz & Fodor) and translation studies (in particular Newmark). Its practical appli-cations for translation studies will be illustrated, and, in the discussion, its advanta ges and drawbacks will be scrutinised from both a theoretical and a practical perspective

Archaeological Sites as Peripheral Destinations. Exploring Big Data on Fieldtrips for an Upcoming Response to the Tourism Crisis after the Pandemic

Archaeological heritage sites constitute the most recent addition to the tourism supply of Madrid, one of the most visited regions of Spain. In 2003, the Plan de Yacimientos Visitables (Plan of Archaeological Visitable Sites) was implemented, museumising 21 sites. However, the peripheral nature of these sites and the lack of personnel prevent strict control being carried out of who visits them, the practices of these visitors and how they rate the sites. This study proposes a systematic procedure to analyse the data gathered from Twitter and Flickr, in order to determine the most shared archaeological spaces in the years immediately preceding the pandemic, and to assess the perception that the visitors had of them. The information provided is useful for learning about the real weight that these sites have in leisure experiences (school trips, guided tours, recreation, etc.). Now that travel has been restricted due to the pandemic, we should ask whether Spain’s minor heritage is able to structure new proximity tourism routes. This is based on the hypothesis that, until now, these types of heritage have had a very limited role in recreational practices, but offer potential as “outdoor museums” in the present climate.

Minimal State-Space Representation of Convolutional Product Codes

In this paper, we study product convolutional codes described by state-space representations. In particular, we investigate how to derive state-space representations of the product code from the horizontal and vertical convolutional codes. We present a systematic procedure to build such representation with minimal dimension, i.e., reachable and observable.

عقوبة الإعدام في القانون الليبي والشريعة الإسلامية

تهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على مفهوم عقوبة الإعدام واستكشاف الحالات التي يجب الحكم فيها بالإعدام. وتكمن مشكلة الدراسة إلى استناد القانون الليبي في نصوصه إلى الشريعة الإسلامية. وتبرز أهمية الدراسة في تسليط الضوء على نصوص القانون الليبي والشريعة الإسلامية. وتتمحور أهداف الدراسة في تبيان مفهوم عقوبة الإعدام في القانون الليبي والشريعة الإسلامية وإيضاح الجرائم التي يستلزم فيها تطبيق عقوبة الإعدام في القانون الليبي والشريعة الإسلامية. واتبعت الدراسة المنهج الإستقرائي لإستقراء نصوص الشريعة الإسلامية والقانون الليبي. كما اتبعت المنهج التحليلي لتحليل نصوص القانون الليبي في تطبيق عقوبة الإعدام. ولقد توصلت الدراسة إلى العديد من النتائج من بينها أن الشريعة الإسلامية هي المصدر الرئيسي للتشريع. كما أن القانون الليبي لايمكنها أن تتخلى عن تطبيق عن تطبيق عقوبة الإعدام في نظامها العقابي. ولقد أوصت الدراسة بضرورة إعادة تبويب وتصنيف القانون الليبي بما يسمح من توضيح نصوص القانون الليبي في عقوبة الإعدام. Abstract The purpose of the study is to determine the idea of the death penalty and research of the cases where the death sentence might be regulated. The predicament of the research, the Libyan law is based on the Islamic Shariah law, so it relies on the information according to Shariah. So, it signified both the Libyan law and Islamic Shariah. The research also recognized the systematic procedure to analyze the topics of the Libyan law about the execution of the death penalty. The study resolved from the conclusions that the Shariah is the main source of authorization to legalize the death penalty in the Libyan regulatory system. The study also revealed that the death penalty in Libya is under penal law so there is no possibility to surrender once the death penalty is legalized by the court. So, the study recommends that the Libyan law is required to amend in regards to the death sentence.

Systems Medicine Design for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer and Non-Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Based on Systems Identification and Carcinogenic Mechanisms

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous subtype of breast cancers with poor prognosis. The etiology of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is involved in various biological signal cascades and multifactorial aberrations of genetic, epigenetic and microenvironment. New therapeutic for TNBC is urgently needed because surgery and chemotherapy are the only available modalities nowadays. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms would be a great challenge because they are triggered by cascade signaling pathways, genetic and epigenetic regulations, and drug–target interactions. This would allow the design of multi-molecule drugs for the TNBC and non-TNBC. In this study, in terms of systems biology approaches, we proposed a systematic procedure for systems medicine design toward TNBC and non-TNBC. For systems biology approaches, we constructed a candidate genome-wide genetic and epigenetic network (GWGEN) by big databases mining and identified real GWGENs of TNBC and non-TNBC assisting with corresponding microarray data by system identification and model order selection methods. After that, we applied the principal network projection (PNP) approach to obtain the core signaling pathways denoted by KEGG pathway of TNBC and non-TNBC. Comparing core signaling pathways of TNBC and non-TNBC, essential carcinogenic biomarkers resulting in multiple cellular dysfunctions including cell proliferation, autophagy, immune response, apoptosis, metastasis, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and cell differentiation could be found. In order to propose potential candidate drugs for the selected biomarkers, we designed filters considering toxicity and regulation ability. With the proposed systematic procedure, we not only shed a light on the differences between carcinogenetic molecular mechanisms of TNBC and non-TNBC but also efficiently proposed candidate multi-molecule drugs including resveratrol, sirolimus, and prednisolone for TNBC and resveratrol, sirolimus, carbamazepine, and verapamil for non-TNBC.

STRATEGI PENINGKATAN KWALITAS PEMBERANGKATAN PEKERJA MIGRAN INDONESIA (PMI)

This paper is the result of a literature study which is expected to be of benefit to academics, both students and lecturers, and it is also hoped that the relevant agencies can improve the quality of the departure of Indonesian migrant workers. Sometimes we neglect our duties and responsibilities, one of which is not paying attention to PMI's skills / expertise and only pursuing quota fulfillment targets. So that we need a good planning model between PMI, and a training place to improve the quality of PMI shipments in order to reduce PMI problems abroad. From the various existing literature, mapping strategies to improve the quality of migrant workers must follow the existing rules. From here it is not uncommon for the government, the private sector, or related agencies to encounter obstacles. In this study, the approach used is a qualitative approach, especially by using a systematic procedure for reviewing or assessing documents. The skills / expertise of prospective PMI need to be improved and supervision from the relevant government. In the future, we need a good planning model for training places to improve the quality of PMI shipments in order to reduce PMI problems abroad.
