ANALYSIS OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE FIELD OF STANDARDIZATION IN UKRAINE

Standardization is recognized by UNECE as an important factor of accelerating the economic growth, and education in that field is the drive of sustainable development. Therefore, they drafted the “Model program for education in the field of standardization”. The European organizations for standardization CEN, CENELEC and ETSI developed a policy, master plan and typical study programs for education in that field. The international standardization organization ISO supported their implementation, suggesting the cooperation plan between the national standardization authorities and universities. It also developed two standards containing competencies, which specialists for standardization must have in companies and standardization authorities.Given the European orientation of Ukraine’s development, there was a need to analyze the domestic education system in the field of standardization and identify provisions that require modernization. This analysis showed that the existing approach to the study of standardization in higher education institutions is a legacy of its understanding as a formal, state-regulated process.The considered standards of higher education in the specialty 152, to which standardization belongs, do not mean enough competencies and program results of learning that are necessary for metrologists in accordance with the qualification characteristics of professions. Educational programs offered by domestic universities do not allow forming a complete set of knowledge, abilities and skills specified in the reference book of qualification characteristics of professions in the field of standardization. In addition, the requirements of this guide for standardization specialists do not correspond to the competencies that the modern market puts forward and are reflected in international ISO standards. The basis for their formation should be international curriculum models, which, in turn, requires the implementation in Ukraine of ISO, CEN, CENELEC, ETSI, and UNECE recommendations. The international community noted that standardization knowledge is an advantage for graduates of both engineering and non-technical fields. In accordance with UNECE recommendations, issues related to standardization should be included in the undergraduate and graduate curriculum. Also, according to these recommendations, competencies and program results of learning are proposed, which can be the basis for changing the relevant standards of higher education and educational programs.

Characteristic Human Individual Puffing Profiles Can Generate More TNCO than ISO and Health Canada Regimes on Smoking Machine When the Same Brand Is Smoked

Human smoking behavior influences exposure to smoke toxicants and is important for risk assessment. In a prospective observational study, the smoking behavior of Marlboro smokers was measured for 36 h. Puff volume, duration, frequency, flow and inter-puff interval were recorded with the portable CReSSmicro™ device, as has often been done by other scientists. However, the use of the CReSSmicro™ device may lead to some registration pitfalls since the method of insertion of the cigarette may influence the data collection. Participants demonstrated consistent individual characteristic puffing behavior over the course of the day, enabling the creation of a personalized puffing profile. These puffing profiles were subsequently used as settings for smoking machine experiments and tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide (TNCO) emissions were generated. The application of human puffing profiles led to TNCO exposures more in the range of Health Canada Intense (HCI)-TNCO emissions than for those of the International Standardization Organization (ISO). Compared to the ISO regime, which applies a low puff volume relative to human smokers, the generation of TNCO may be at least two times higher than when human puffing profiles were applied on the smoking machine. Human smokers showed a higher puffing intensity than HCI and ISO because of higher puffing frequency, which resulted in more puffs per cigarette, than both HCI and ISO.

Water footprint calculation and assessment of viscose textile

Water footprint standards established by the International Standardization Organization (ISO), this paper proposed a newquantitative indicator for water alkalization, and calculated the water footprints involved in viscose textile production. Inaddition, water footprint accounting results were comprehensively evaluated by LCA polygon method which wasdeveloped to interpret LCA results. Results showed that: (1) water scarcity footprint of viscose textile production was60.511 m3H2O eq/ton, of which 85.71% was from the viscose fiber production; (2) water eutrophication footprint ofviscose textile production was 12.439 kg PO43–eq/ton, the major contribution (84.37%) was given by COD and BOD5;(3) water acidification footprint and water alkaline footprint of viscose textile production were 81.453 kg SO2eq/ton and55.675 kg OH–eq/ton, mainly due to H2SO4and NaOH input during the spinning process, respectively; (4) waterecotoxicity footprint of viscose textile production was 3828.169 km3H2O eq/ton, mainly derived from Zn2+in spinningwastewater; (5) LCA polygon analyses showed that environmental load in the spinning was the largest, followed by thepulping and then the dyeing.Keywords:viscose textile, wa

Organizational Structure And Standard Development Procedures Of standard Development Organizations——Comparative Research Based On Domestic And Foreign Perspectives

This paper takes the typical foreign standard development organizations IEEE, ASTM, W3C, and IETF as examples to analyze the characteristics of organizational structure and standard developing procedures. These four organizations are typical representative of foreign SDOs which can be divided into two categories, one is represented by IEEE and ASTM which are legal entities and their standardization organization structure and standard development procedures are relatively fixed. The other is represented by W3C and IETF, which are relatively loose and open and their standardization organizations and standard development process are more flexible. At the same time, this paper also selects the top ten social organizations that are active on the Chinese national information platform of social organization standard. Compared with foreign social organizations, it is found that their standardization organization structures are not transparent enough and too concentrated. It also found that the standard development process of Chinese social organization is relatively simple and lack of innovation.

Creation of an ISO Standard at the Example of Value Stream Management Method

The main objectives of this chapter are to elucidate the necessity of a standardized value stream management (VSM) and to clarify how this standard can effectively increase corporate performance within cross-enterprise supply chain networks (SCNs). VSM is an effective tool to collect, evaluate, and continuously improve product and information flows within companies in a common and standardized manner. The findings of this chapter are not only valid for consistent product and information flows but are representative for the relevance of standards in general. In a globalized economy, standards need to be generally accepted and valid for all countries. Thus, corporate or national standards only have limited impact. The International Standardization Organization (ISO) provides the means to develop, negotiate and communicate standards, which are globally binding. This chapter shares the experience of ISO 22468 standard development within ISO/TC 154 WG7 and proves its applicability by an administrative use case.

Does Innovation Flourish With the Implementation of Certified Management Systems?

Existing literature states that standardization and certification are not only crucial for enterprises, but they have a positive impact on productivity, international trade, innovation, and competition as well. This research employs data derived by the European Innovation Union Scoreboard and the International Standardization Organization from 2005 to 2014 to investigate the relation between innovation and certified quality management systems according to ISO 9001. Using suitable panel data analysis, the authors analyse the data gathered form a panel accounting for the different countries and different years. The main result of this study is that we are able to provide evidence to policymakers, academics, and entrepreneurs that there is a statistically significant relationship between innovation and certified quality management systems. The originality of this chapter stems from the fact that up to now, to the authors' knowledge, the impact of ISO 9001 on innovation has not been examined in the European context.

Play as Work

Contemporary images of desirable work (for example at gaming companies or at one of the tech giants) foregrounds creativity and incorporates and idealises elements of play. Simultaneously, becoming one of the best in some particular leisure activity can require many long hours of hard, demanding work. Between on the one hand work and on the other hand leisure and play, we enter the domain of games and sports. Most classical sports originally developed from physical practices of moving the human body and these practices were, through standardization, organization and rationalization, turned into sports. Many sport researchers, (sport) historians and (sport) sociologists have pointed out that sports have gone through a process of “sportification”. Cross-country skiing is an example of an activity that has gone through a historical process of sportification, over time becoming progressively more managed and regulated. Computer games are today following a similar trajectory and have gone from being a leisure activity to becoming a competitive activity, “esports”, with professional players, international competitions, and live streams that are watched by tens of millions of viewers.

Modelling Risk Management Process According to ISO Standard

Risk management is defined as an essential step in the improvement process proposed under the standard ISO 9001: 2015. The guidelines to the process of risk management have been proposed since 2009 by the International Standardization Organization (ISO). But before, organization and institutions have their own way to manage risk. An analysis of risk management processes in the literature has been realized in order to identify the standard process. Unified Modeling language (UML) was used to present this meta model. The purpose of this paper is to propose a risk management process model based on ISO 31000: 2018 and following the recommendations of ISO 9001: 2015 by integrating risk management modeling in process modeling.

Istilah Teknis dan Permasalahannya dalam Penerjemahan

Term is a word or word-combination which denotes the notion of a special realm of communication in science, industry, technology, art, in a definitive field of knowledge and human activity, that is a special purposes linguistic unit (Лейчик 2007). In this context, the article develops the analyses of writer’s master thesis about the translation of Indonesian terminology standardization directory for computer application ‘Panduan pembakuan istilah penggunaan komputer dengan aplikasi komputer berbahasa Indonesia’ that were set up by the TIM INPRES ‘the Presidential directive teams’ of Indonesia, Number 2/2001. The analyses result was that identifiable numerous approaches of equivalent, and these categorizable inconsistance in the translation process. Therefore, the message of source language (English) could not comprehensively be expressed in the target language (Indonesian). Analyses development in the article is tend toward the reviewing of technical terms existence etimologically-theoretically, referring to the International Terminology Standardization, International Standardization Organization (ISO), and Handbook of Terminology in relation to the message sense of technical terms in translation. Thus, the technical terms in the translation context are bounded by four dimensions; concept, object, term and definition referring to the semiotic triangle as the terminologists’ additional dimension. Where, the pyramid was extended by the dimension of definition resulting four intersections to represent the concept. Accomodating the concept of technical terms can only be handled through the adoption approach of phonetic and semantic adaptation to keep the equivalent message of two different languages.

A novel smartphone-based evaluation system of pedestrian-induced footbridge vibration comfort

Pedestrian-induced vibration comfort is an important factor affecting the serviceability of footbridges. This article proposes a smartphone-based evaluation system for pedestrian-induced footbridge vibration comfort, and the evaluation system consists of a data acquisition subsystem, management center subsystem, and smartphone client. Four technical challenges in the application of the evaluation system are solved: coordinates transformation, acceleration signal drift correction, signal filtering, and computation of the total weighted root mean square acceleration. To verify the validity of the proposed evaluation system, field experiments are carried out on the Forth Corridor Footbridge in Guangzhou. A comparison of the proposed system and the traditional methodology shows that the total weighted root mean square acceleration errors between smartphones and accelerometers are less than ±5%. In addition, the subjective feelings in the field experiments are in excellent agreement with the corresponding stipulation in ISO 2631-1:1997 (Amendment 1. International Standardization Organization, Geneva, 2010).
