a summary of the reform of Academic Degrees in german institutions of higher education
The Journal of Higher Education, 2007Co-Authors: Sun YuAbstract:The reform of Academic Degrees in German universities and academies,which began at the end of the 1990s,has reached the last phase of the Bologna process with the collision of traditional systems and requirements of the times.With the support of cultural and educational departments of the government and the business community,the reform has made marked success.So the new system of Academic Degrees has found more and more acceptance all over Germany.However,this emergence must overcome many difficulties before it is nationally and internationally thoroughly accepted.

A National Certification Programme for Academic Degrees in Cyber Security
2018Co-Authors: Steven Furnell, Fred Piper, Chris EnsorAbstract:With a growing need for cyber security skills, there has been a notable increase in the number of Academic Degrees targeting this topic area, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. However, with a widening and varied choice available to them, prospective students and employers require a means to identify Academic Degrees that offer appropriate and high-quality education in the subject area. This paper presents a case study of the establishment and operation of a certification programme for Academic Degrees in cyber security. It describes the means by which appropriate topic themes and subject areas for relevant Degrees were identified and defined, leading to a certification programme that addresses Degrees in general cyber security as well as notable specialisations including digital forensics and network security. The success of the programme is evidenced by 25 Degrees across 19 universities having been certified to date, and a continued response to new calls for certification.

impact of international accreditation in the recognition of Academic Degrees in the domestic and foreign labor market case study civil engineering program
Innovaciones de Negocios, 2017Co-Authors: Jose Nicolas Barragan Codina, Daniel Bortoni HerreraAbstract:Abstract: In a globalized era it is not enough to have a professional qualification to ensure economic and professional success. The Academic background of professionals must be adequate to face challenges and solve problems of a globalized and dynamic world. Civil engineers face many complications when seeking an international career. There are many differences within the profession globally such as: resources, workforce, climate, language, culture, philosophies, regulations, etc. which raise the entry barriers to fully practice as a civil engineer. The International accreditations play a major role as the first evidence of the civil engineer technical proficiency. These assure the quality of the higher education curricula and add value to the human capital on an international context. Despite the fact that many Mexican Universities have Academic programs which have international accreditations, civil engineer graduates cannot easily work across borders. This paper describes the impact that international accreditation has for civil engineers when seeking an international career. Keywords: accreditation, higher education, self-study, universities JEL: I23,I25, I28 Resumen: En la educacion global, no es suficiente el tener una calificacion profesional para asegurar el exito economico y profesional. La formacion Academica de los profesionales debe ser adecuada para enfrentar los retos y resolver los problemas de un mundo globalizado y dinamico. Los ingenieros civiles se enfrentan a muchas complicaciones en la busqueda de una carrera profesional en el plano internacional. Hay muchas diferencias dentro de la profesion a nivel mundial, tales como: recursos, mano de obra, clima, idioma, cultura, filosofias, reglamentos, etc., que elevan las barreras de entrada para ejercer plenamente como ingeniero civil. Las acreditaciones internacionales desempenan un papel importante como la primera evidencia de la capacidad tecnica del ingeniero civil. Estos aseguran la calidad de los planes de estudios de ensenanza superior y agregan valor al capital humano en un contexto internacional. A pesar de que muchas universidades mexicanas tienen programas Academicos que cuentan con acreditaciones internacionales, los graduados de ingenieria civil no pueden trabajar facilmente a traves de las fronteras. En este trabajo se describe el impacto que la acreditacion internacional tiene para los ingenieros civiles en la busqueda de una carrera internacional.

Internationalists and locals: international research collaboration in a resource-poor system
Scientometrics, 2020Co-Authors: Marek KwiekAbstract:The principal distinction drawn in this study is between research “internationalists” and “locals.” The former are scientists involved in international research collaboration while the latter group are not. These two distinct types of scientist compete for Academic prestige, research funding, and international recognition. International research collaboration proves to be a powerful stratifying force. As a clearly defined subgroup, internationalists are a different Academic species, accounting for 51.4% of Polish scientists; predominantly male and older, they have longer Academic experience and higher Academic Degrees and occupy higher Academic positions. Across all Academic clusters, internationalists consistently produce more than 90% of internationally co-authored publications, representing 2320% of locals’ productivity for peer-reviewed articles and 1600% for peer-reviewed article equivalents. Internationalists tend to spend less time than locals on teaching-related activities, more time on research, and more time on administrative duties. Based on a large-scale Academic survey ( N = 3704), some new predictors of international research collaboration were identified by multivariate analyses. The findings have global policy implications for resource-poor science systems “playing catch-up” in terms of Academic careers, productivity patterns, and research internationalization policies.

the training level of experts influences their detection thresholds for key wine compounds
Chemosensory Perception, 2011Co-Authors: Sophie Tempere, Eleonore Cuzange, Jinane Malak, Jean Claude Bougeant, Gilles De Revel, Gilles SicardAbstract:Wine experts usually rely on chemical tracers of qualities or defects to judge wines. While part of their expertise is determined by their sensory ability to detect these key compounds, their level of sensitivity is generally unknown. The olfactory detection thresholds for 10 key odorant compounds in wine were, therefore, measured in a large sample of professionals (100 3 log10 units). Comparing the abilities of the experts to detect the whole sample of chemicals tested, we showed that their sensitivity profiles were very different. Detection threshold distribution asymmetries suggested specific hyposmias or hyperosmias for b-ionone, 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, diacetyl, and linalool. Interestingly, we found that Academic Degrees in tasting and enology do have an impact on odor detection thresholds for two compounds, diacetyl and mixed ethylphenols.

The Training Level of Experts Influences their Detection Thresholds for Key Wine Compounds
Chemosensory Perception, 2011Co-Authors: Sophie Tempere, Eleonore Cuzange, Jinane Malak, Jean Claude Bougeant, Gilles De Revel, Gilles SicardAbstract:Wine experts usually rely on chemical tracers of qualities or defects to judge wines. While part of their expertise is determined by their sensory ability to detect these key compounds, their level of sensitivity is generally unknown. The olfactory detection thresholds for 10 key odorant compounds in wine were, therefore, measured in a large sample of professionals (100 < n < 150). The experts’ sensitivity to two tastants, tartaric acid and alum (respectively, sour and astringent compounds) was also tested. The study confirms that distributions of individual detection thresholds were very large (>3 log10 units). Comparing the abilities of the experts to detect the whole sample of chemicals tested, we showed that their sensitivity profiles were very different. Detection threshold distribution asymmetries suggested specific hyposmias or hyperosmias for b -ionone, 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, diacetyl, and linalool. Interestingly, we found that Academic Degrees in tasting and enology do have an impact on odor detection thresholds for two compounds, diacetyl and mixed ethylphenols.
