Abstract:
Industry-recognized credentials, or certifications, provide one path to match people with jobs effectively. Certifications are nationally recognized, standardized credentials created by businesses and industry groups to demonstrate proficiency in skills related to specific jobs. State education systems increasingly provide students the opportunity to earn certifications in secondary school. In this study, we examine whether local labor market demand for certifications is associated with the likelihood of earning a certification in high school. Using comprehensive administrative data on a cohort of first-time ninth graders from the state of Florida, which has legislation encouraging certification attainment in high school, we find limited evidence for a relationship between certification demand and certification earning. However, high school students are more likely to earn certifications in some fields, such as health science, when local labor market demand for those certifications is high.

Abstract:
La certification académique ou professionnelle est un ensemble de processus et de normes qui permettent de mesurer le niveau de compétence à un moment donné. Les entreprises modernes n’exigent plus que des diplômes classiques délivrés traditionnellement par les universités ou les écoles, mais exigent des certifications permettant de valider des acquis précis dans des domaines pointus vérifiés dans un cadre international. Dans cet article, nous revenons, brièvement, sur la définition de la formation et celle de la certification. Nous établissons le lien entre les deux ainsi que le rôle et les avantages de la certification pour une bonne formation. Nous étudions ensuite la différence entre une certification professionnelle et une certification académique. Nous poursuivons par la présentation de quelques exemples de certifications dans le domaine des TIC, ainsi que l’impact de ces certifications sur la réussite des lauréats dans la vie professionnelle. Nous présenterons enfin l’expérience de l’École Normale Supérieure d’Enseignement Technique (ENSET) de Mohammedia, dans le domaine de la certification académique.

Abstract:
This study discusses priority problems, priority solutions, and priority strategies in increasing the number of halal certifications in the culinary sector in South Bangka Regency. The research method uses the Analytical Network Process (ANP). Based on the research results, the priority problem faced by South Bangka MSME actors is the lack of information dissemination and socialization related to halal certification. The priority solution that can be offered in increasing the number of halal certifications in South Bangka is to hold training related to halal certification, starting from filing to issuing halal certification. And the priority strategy implemented in increasing the number of halal certifications in South Bangka is to increase information, education, and socialization related to halal certification to business actors.

Abstract:
The health education profession within the broader context of public health has chosen certification to grant recognition to individuals meeting certain standards, as well as optional accreditation of academic programs. Regarding certification options for health education professionals, those who qualify may sit for the exams to achieve one of the following certifications: Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES), Master Certified Health Education Specialist (MCHES), or Certified in Public Health (CPH). Some health education and other professionals may be familiar with the concept of certification but may not be aware of the value of certification for the profession, their options for certification, or the processes of certification. This article provides information on CHES, MCHES, and CPH certifications and compares and contrasts their requirements. While many professionals may choose one credential over another, others may decide to pursue CHES/MCHES and the CPH. Credentialing continues to be an important part of advancing the health education profession and ensuring that those practicing in the field are highly qualified.

Abstract:
Medicare requires that home health patients have a face-to-face visit with a physician when services are initiated and that physicians provide certification of this encounter before home health agencies (HHAs) can be reimbursed. We assessed an intervention to increase completion of face-to-face certification by hospital physicians at discharge using a retrospective chart review. We found a shift in the source and timeliness of certification among intervention hospitals. Pre-intervention, hospital physicians completed face-to-face certifications for 18.7% of patients and community physicians completed certifications for 47.2% ( p < .001), compared with 44.4% and 24.3% ( p < .001) post-intervention. Shifting the source of certification from community to hospital physicians helped HHAs by reducing the burden of tracking down certification from community physician offices and facilitating timely care for recently hospitalized patients.

Abstract:
Food certifications guarantee food quality and reduce information asymmetry regarding food between consumers and producers. There are numerous certifications that facilitate global food systems. While scholars have addressed this issue from several viewpoints, a systematic synchronization of the research in international food certification studies is lacking. The purpose of this study is to explore the field of food certifications. This includes identifying certification definitions, related categories, the main purposes and topics of existing studies in this field. This study uses a systematic literature review. It proposes an integrative conceptual framework, that summarizes the main findings of the study. Additionally, new research routes, as well as both theoretical and macromarketing implications are discussed. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the international field of food certification, giving researchers, consumers, and food companies a guide to understand the complexity of the global food certification and the related macromarketing effects.

Abstract:
Prior information system research remains inconsistent of the effects of system certifications. In their current use, certifications are often reduced to graphical seals. This approach fails to incorporate detailed assurance information emanating from the certification process. To address this gap, we adopt a design science approach and deploy a four-phase research design to clarify how to design impactful IS certification presentations. First, we identify sources of users' limited understanding of seals and formulate a design proposal for a certification presentation by drawing upon the elaboration likelihood model. In the second phase, we formulate and validate a set of design meta-requirements and guidelines to improve certification presentation, using cognitive load theory and Toulmin's model of argumentation as kernel theories. In the third phase, new certification presentations that comply with the proposed guidelines are developed and evaluated for their effectiveness. We show that presentations that augment seal-based certification presentations with richer assurance information improve certification effectiveness. This increases users' assurance and trust perceptions when the presentations align with the users' cognitive information processing needs in ways that reduce their cognitive load and enhance argument quality of assurance information.

Abstract:
The Occupational Information Network O*NET is considered the primary source of occupational information in the U.S. I explore here possible uses of O*NET data to inform cybersecurity workforce readiness certification programs. The O*NET database is used to map out education requirements and how they relate to professional certifications as required by employers and job designers in accordance with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS). The search focuses on the “Information Security Analysts” occupation as listed on O*NET, Careeronestop, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and finally tied back to NICCS source work role to identify certifications requirements. I found that no site has listed any certification as required, desirable or mandatory. NICCS offered general guidance to potential topics and areas of certification. Careeronestop site provided the ultimate guidance for this role certification. Professional certifications are still not integrated in the Cybersecurity Workforce Framework official guidance.

Abstract:
With increasing concern of the food safety issue, consumer’s demand for certified food have induced the adoption of organic farming or traceability certification. There is, however, relatively limited research devoted to examining the determinants and economic outcomes of the two food safety assurance certifications. The major intents of this study are to analyse the determinants of the farm household’s adoption decisions of the organic and/or traceability certifications, and to investigate the economic consequences of different modes of adoption. It is found that while the log-odds of rice farmers’ choice of organic certification over the choice of none of the certifications decreases significantly with age, the educational level is positively associated with the adoption of traceability certification. The results suggest the significance of the “Straybird Program”, “One Hundred Young Farmers Counselling Program” and “The Farmers’ Academy” in promoting the adoption of food safety assurance certification. Estimated average treatment effect after correcting for the self-selection problem indicates that the adoption of the traceability certifications leads to a better economic outcome for the Fuli rice farmers, compared with the adoption of organic or both certifications. This result thereby suggests that higher food safety assurance does not necessarily bring higher returns.

Certification is a means by which a professional agency or association gives recognition to an individual who has achieved a certain level of competence. Certification is often voluntary and indicates reserved title. Licensure, on the other hand, is legislated and indicates exclusive right to practice. There are both benefits and disadvantages to certification within the occupations and professions. Certification should be based on competency Professional associations have a strong role to play in both certification am mandated continuing professional education. A certification program for Arborists and Tree Workers in the Pacific Northwest introduces the International Society of Arboriculture, the professional association.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
This project reflects extensive research on the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) certification process. Project participants analyzed the processes currently employed by the Department of Defense (DOD) for civilian Army acquisition Program Managers and compared these processes to other Services in relation to execution of the DAWIA certification process. Additionally, this project provides a comparative analysis of DAWIA compared to current DOD qualification initiatives. The intent of the project is to identify and provide recommendations for best of breed practices for maintaining a proficient workforce while preserving the integrity of the Army civilian Program Manager profession. While identification and recommendations for best of breed practices have been stated, the availability of qualification initiatives is either limited or emerging. As such, the researchers have identified future areas for further study. DAWIA addresses career path requirements in title 10, United States Code 1723 by stating that the Secretary of Defense acting through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, shall establish requirements for the completion of course work and related on-the-job training and demonstration of qualifications in the critical acquisition-related duties and tasks of the career path. Workforce demographics are changing. The intent of the project is to examine current credentialing processes in place to maintain a proficient workforce and preserve the integrity of the profession. Prior research regarding the effectiveness of DAWIA exists. This project will leverage this available body of knowledge and will compare it to existing processes to identify more efficient mechanisms/certifications for qualifying civilian Army acquisition Program Managers..

Abstract:
Quantum physics is arguably both the most successful and the most counterintuitive physical theory of all times. Its extremely accurate predictions on the behaviour of microscopic particles have led to unprecedented technological advances in various fields and yet, many quantum phenomena defy our classical intuition. Starting from the 1980’s, however, a paradigm shift has gradually taken hold in the scientific community, consisting in studying quantum phenomena not as inexplicable conundrums but as useful resources. This shift marked the birth of the field of quantum information science, which has since then explored the advantages that quantum theory can bring to the way we process and transfer information. In this thesis, we introduce scalable certification tools that apply to various operational properties of many-body quantum systems. In the first three cases we consider, we base our certification protocols on the detection of nonlocal correlations. These kinds of non-classical correlations that can displayed by quantum states allow one to assess relevant properties in a device-independent manner, that is, without assuming anything about the specific functioning of the device producing the state of interest or the implemented measurements. In the first scenario we present an efficient method to detect multipartite entanglement in a device-independent way. We do so by introducing a numerical test for nonlocal correlations that involves computational and experimental resources that scale polynomially with the system number of particles. We show the range of applicability of the method by using it to detect entanglement in various families of multipartite systems. In multipartite systems, however, it is often more informative to provide quantitative statements. We address this problem in the second scenario by introducing scalable methods to quantify the nonlocality depth of a multipartite systems, that is, the number of particles sharing nonlocal correlations among each other. We show how to do that by making use of the knowledge of two-body correlations only and we apply the resulting techniques to experimental data from a system of a few hundreds of atoms. In the third scenario, we move to consider self-testing, which is the most informative certification method based on nonlocality. Indeed, in a self-testing task, one is interested in characterising the state of the system and the measurement performed on it, by simply looking at the resulting correlations. We introduce the first scalable self-testing method based on Bell inequalities and apply it to graph states, a well-known family of multipartite quantum states. Moreover, we show that the certification achieved with our method is robust against experimental imperfections. Lastly, we address the problem of certifying the result of quantum optimizers. They are quantum devices designed to estimate the groundstate energy of classical spin systems. We provide a way to efficiently compute a convergent series of upper and lower bounds to the minimum of interest, which at each step allows one to certify the output of any quantum optimizer.
La física cuántica es posiblemente la teoría física más exitosa y la más contraintuitiva jamás desarollada. A pesar de que sus predicciones extremadamente precisas sobre el comportamiento de las partículas microscópicas han llevado a avances tecnológicos sin precedentes en varios campos, muchos fenómenos cuánticos desafían nuestra intuición basada en una concepción clásica de la física. Sin embargo, a partir de la década de 1980 tuvo lugar un cambio de paradigma en la comunidad científica, que se orientó en estudiar los fenómenos cuánticos no como enigmas inexplicables, sino como recursos útiles. Este cambio marcó el nacimiento del campo de la ciencia de la información cuántica, que desde entonces ha explorado las ventajas que la teoría cuántica puede aportar a la forma en que procesamos y transferimos la información. Hoy en día es un hecho bien establecido que la codificación de información en partículas cuánticas puede llevar, por ejemplo, a procesos de cálculo más eficientes, así como a comunicaciones extremadamente seguras. Además, debido a sus aplicaciones prácticas a la vida cotidiana, la ciencia de la información cuántica ha atraído un gran interés político y económico. Recientemente se han lanzado varias iniciativas con el propósito de cerrar la brecha entre la ciencia básica y la industria en este campo, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Al mismo tiempo, cada vez más empresas están incrementando sus esfuerzos para producir dispositivos cuánticos a nivel comercial. No hay duda de que hemos entrado en la era de la primera generación de dispositivos cuánticos, en la cual los sistemas cuánticos controlables compuestos de decenas o cientos de partículas son cada vez más accesibles. En tal escenario, el certificar que estos dispositivos exhiben sus atractivas propiedades cuánticas constituye un problema fundamental. Es importante destacar que, para que los métodos de certificación deseados sean aplicables en situaciones reales, éstos deben ser escalables con el tamaño del sistema. En otras palabras, tienen que basarse en requerimientos computacionales y experimentales que crezcan, a lo sumo,polinomialmente con el número de partículas en el sistema de interés. En esta tesis, introducimos herramientas de certificación escalables que se aplican a varias propiedades operativas de sistemas cuánticos de muchos cuerpos. En los primeros tres casos que consideramos, basamos nuestros protocolos de certificación en la detección de correlaciones no locales. Estos tipos de correlaciones no clásicas, que únicamente pueden ser producidas por sistemas cuánticos, permiten evaluar propiedades relevantes de forma independiente del dispositivo, es decir, sin realizar hipótesis acerca del funcionamiento específico del dispositivo que produce el estado de interés o las mediciones implementadas. En el primer escenario, presentamos un método eficiente para detectar entrelazamiento en sistemas multipartitos de forma independiente del dispositivo. Lo hacemos mediante la introducción de una prueba numérica para las correlaciones no locales que involucra recursos computacionales y experimentales que escalan polinomialmente con el número de partículas del sistema. Mostramos el rango de aplicabilidad de dicho método usándolo para detectar entrelazamiento en varias familias de sistemas multipartitos. Sin embargo, al tratar con sistemas de muchos cuerpos a menudo es más informativo proporcionar informaciones cuantitativas. Abordamos este problema en el segundo escenario mediante la introducción de métodos escalables para cuantificar la profundidad no local (non-locality depth) de un sistema multipartito, es decir, la cantidad de partículas que comparten correlaciones no locales entre sí. Mostramos cómo realizar dicha cuantificación a partir del conocimiento únicamente de los correladores de dos cuerpos, y aplicamos las técnicas resultantes a los datos experimentales de un sistema de unos pocos cientos de átomos. En el tercer escenario, pasamos a considerar el caso de self-testing, que es el método de certificación más informativo basado en la no localidad. De hecho, en una tarea de self-testing, el objetivo es caracterizar el estado del sistema y las mediciones realizadas en él, simplemente observando las correlaciones resultantes. Introducimos el primer método de self-testing escalable basado en las desigualdades de Bell y lo aplicamos a estados de grafo, una familia muy conocida de estados cuánticos multipartitos. Además, demostramos que la certificación lograda con nuestro método es robusta a imperfecciones experimentales. Por último, consideramos el problema de certificar el resultado de optimizadores cuánticos. Estos son dispositivos cuánticos diseñados para estimar la energía del estado fundamental de sistemas de espines clásicos. Desarollamos un método eficiente para calcular una serie convergente de límites superiores e inferiores al mínimo de interés, que en cada paso permite certificar el resultado de cualquier optimizador cuántico

Abstract:
This study was a heuristic, descriptive case study of the Alternative Certification Program in 4 central Florida counties. The purpose of this study was to: (a) identify the awareness of the existence of the reported alternative certification components implemented by 4 counties in Florida, and identify any additional components; (b) determine the importance of the targeted teaching criteria needed for successful teaching as identified in the literature to the ACP teacher, principal and coordinator; (c) determine the advantages/disadvantages of the program as viewed by the ACP participants, principals, and coordinators; (d) identify how many of the 4 counties kept data on participants entering and leaving the program; (e) determine how many participants exited the ACP before completion; and (f) identify if a particular subject area had a higher percentage of ACP teachers. The study was based on data gathered using the Alternative Certification Program Survey, a survey created by the researcher. The population for this study was 4 public school districts in central Florida. The completed surveys yielded a usable return rate of 41% (N= 258). The researcher conducted the data analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results were presented as a whole, as well as disaggregated and presented by county. Analysis of the data revealed: (a) that the awareness of the ACP components varied between counties and respondent groups of teacher participants, principals, and coordinators; (b) the teachers and principals did not agree on rating the importance of the teaching criteria needed for an ACP teacher to be successful, and the coordinators rated all the criteria equally; (c) the perceptions of advantages of the ACP differed between the teacher participants, principals, and coordinators; (d) the perceptions of disadvantages of the ACP differed between the teacher participants, principals, and coordinators; (e) three of the counties kept entrance and exit data on the ACP; (f) one county had <1% non-completion rate for ACP participants; and (g) highest number of ACP participants were entering into the subject areas of math and science. Conclusions, recommendations for future research, and recommendations for alternative certification in central Florida were made. One recommendation for further research was for a study to be replicated with ACP teachers hired for another school year, and repeated in future years, to gather information concerning awareness of the existence of the ACP components, importance of teaching criteria needed for successful teaching, and advantages/disadvantages of the program as perceived by the teacher participants, principals, and coordinators. Another recommendation for future research was to replicate and conduct this study in other Florida counties in order to compare results with those of this study concerning the Alternative Certification Program.

Intel Corporation has recently implemented a "green building" policy, which states that Intel will design all new facilities to achieve a minimum LEED-Silver certification. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary, consensus-driven rating system used to distinguish high performance, sustainable buildings. Buildings earn "points" in different environmental categories, and the total number of points achieved determines the certification level (Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum). While LEED certification has been successfully applied to many residential and commercial buildings, and occasionally to manufacturing facilities, it has not been applied to many wafer manufacturing facilities (fabs), which house the manufacturing and production of Intel's microprocessors. Wafer fabs have much higher energy and water consumption levels than typical buildings due to their strictly controlled temperature, humidity, and particulate requirements, making LEED certification more challenging for a fab than for a typical building. The objective of this study was to develop a planning strategy case study for Intel to achieve LEEDSilver certification for the construction of a hypothetical new wafer fab. The case study identified the main barriers to achieve LEED certification, including cost, risk, process, acceptance and alignment barriers, and outlined means to overcome them. The LEED criteria were then analyzed to determine the costs, benefits, and risks of pursuing each individual credit. The resulting "portfolio planning" model was then used to optimize a portfolio of credits for Intel to pursue. The final results indicated that for the optimized scenario, LEED-Silver certification could be achieved for a positive NPV of over $130,000. Significant cost savings were achieved through the avoidance of the credits related to energy efficiency and on-site renewable energy generation, credits that pose a significant risk to Intel due to the high energy consumption of a fab. Finally, process improvement recommendations were made for the planning, design, and construction of a LEED certified fab.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work was to calculate and to test different aircraft components according to the CS-LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) airworthiness for Shark s.r.o. Shark was designed to fit into European ultralight category and it was approved according to the UL-2 Czech Republic requirement of Light Aircraft Association and LTF-UL German requirement for “Sport Flying Vehicles”. In the design phase were considered also the ASTM standards for Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) valid in USA and accepted by European regulation CS-LSA. The maximum take-off weight will be increased from 472.5 kg up to 600 kg. Most of the tests needed for proof and approval were performed for calculated load according to ASTM standards, but some only up to limited load corresponding to maximum take-off weight equal to 472.5 kg. The goal of the project was to go through the Shark s.r.o documents and to check the compliancy with CS-LSA regulation. The center of gravity position was calculated starting from the prototype and new flight envelope was designed for calculation of the limit load afterwards. New tests were realized on the flaps, fixing points of the ballistic rescue system and on the landing gear. The tests were performed in Shark aero facility in Senica (Slovakia) under the supervision of Eng. Vladimír Pekár. The data collected during multiple tests were used for preliminary design of Mako - new aerobatic aircraft for pilot training.

Abstract:
Driven by the incredible pace of technological change the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) vendors have led the charge in promoting industry based technical certifications. Today, there are a plethora of instructor led, intensive, short courses that provide training in an ICT vendor’s product and prepare participants to sit a certification exam. Increasingly, vendors are developing expanded certification programs suitable for inclusion in high school, college and university courses. Although these programs are attractive to students and educational institutions, there are obstacles to be overcome and risks to be evaluated when attempting to integrate a certification program within a traditional offering. This paper examines these issues in detail.

Abstract:
Photovoltaic power systems of all types are being installed in the United States. Grid-connected installations have seen a tremendous jump in their numbers and sizes of installations but there is no complete photovoltaic product (component or system) or installer certification program in effect today in the United States. Standards for utility interconnect, listing for safety, and qualification of hardware are written and listing and qualification programs are available, but practitioner and hardware certifications are not yet in place. This paper addresses the timeliness, framework, and progress of hardware and practitioner certification efforts currently under way in the United States.

Blyde, Juan S. The Impact of ISO 14001 environmental standards on exports. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003745.

Full text
Abstract:
Analyses that examine the role of international standards on export performance has been concentrated on quality certifications. Very little is known about the impact of environmental certifications on exports. In this paper we employ firm-level data from Ecuador to assess the impact of the ISO 14001 environmental certification on export outcomes. The results show that holding an ISO 14001 increases the likelihood of becoming an exporter by 0.31 percentage points (equivalent to 4%), and that this positive effect is concentrated among large firms. We did not find evidence that the environmental certification has a causal impact on the level or the growth rate of exports. Consequently, the results suggest that the ISO 14001 certification is most useful in reducing information frictions, allowing firms to initiate export transactions.
