Re-qualification as a part of validation is the task performed to identify or check that utilities, equipment and ancillary systems can operate within limits for their intended use. Equipment qualification is a key element in the pharmaceutical quality system. In recent times regulatory agencies are more focusing on qualification of equipment. Re-qualification of the equipment starts from design of the equipment based on the user requirement specification and functional requirement specification. The review article provides information on design qualification which is done to identify whether the proposed design of facilities, system and equipment is suitable for intended purpose, installation qualification which is done to check whether the equipment is built and installed in compliance with design specification, operational qualification in which the process parameters shall be challenged to assure that product meets all requirements and finally performance qualification to demonstrate that the process will produce acceptable product consistently under normal operating conditions.

Robotic laboratory equipment malfunctions may affect the performance of integrated laboratory instruments. Thus, the qualification of robotics is necessary to ensure adequate performance of complete integrated systems. In this JALA Tutorial, we adapt the methods used in production processes to laboratory robotics and propose guidelines for performing the various steps required for qualification (i.e., installation, operational, and performance qualification), while emphasizing specific aspects of laboratory robotics. We think that the application of such guidelines will help in standardizing the acceptance of robotic equipment, facilitate their operation and performance evaluation, and improve traceability with quality assurance documentation.

Full textAbstract:
Qualification is the process of determining or verifying that services, tools, and support systems can function within parameters for the purposes for which they were designed. It is a component of validation. A crucial component of the pharmaceutical quality system is equipment qualification. Regulatory bodies have been emphasising equipment qualification more recently. The process of certifying equipment begins with its design, which is guided by the functional and user requirements specified. Information on Design Qualification, which determines whether the suggested design of buildings, systems, and equipment is appropriate for the intended use, is provided in the review article. Performance qualification is the last step, which shows that the process will consistently produce an acceptable product under typical operating conditions. Installation qualification is the process of determining whether the equipment is constructed and installed in accordance with the design specification. Operational qualification is the process of challenging the process parameters to ensure that the product meets all requirements.

The object of the publication is to present the validation process stage (operational qualification) of developed assumptions for customised clothing manufactured in industrial conditions. 12 special clothes were made and adjusted to the individual dimensions of firefighters’ silhouettes obtained in the 3D scanning process as well as 12 special clothes adjusted to selected size subgroups after the 3D scanning process from the same identified group of 12 firefighters. Two batches of clothes having undergone the installation qualification were submitted for testing in real conditions (operational qualification). Then, on the basis of data collected from the ongoing functional tests, a batch of six sets of individualised special clothing for the Fire Service was produced in industrial conditions (changing the manufacturer and model of the clothing). A positive result of validation (operational qualification) of this batch of clothing in functional tests conducted in real conditions will allow its introduction to industry through training in production plants and procedures of individualisation of advanced protective clothing design for people working in environments with a high degree of risk to health and life. The individualisation of protective clothing design, through a better fit of the size of the clothing to the body of the user, will significantly affect the comfort of use, ergonomics of the clothing, and the safety of the user.

Full textAbstract:
Fabrication in shipbuilding faces important requirements from the quality point of view, due to potential risks specific to the exploitation of the naval structures. Quality Management becomes important tool to reduce the susceptibility to failure of different components of the structures. Specific processes are involved in shipbuilding and the Quality Management should address all of them. Inspection Test Plan (ITP) should be the first step of the Quality Management and that step is previous to any action related to fabrication. Sometimes, that step is necessary to be done even before the design of the naval structure. The most important processes which are required to answer to the ITP are welding, testing of welds, treating distortions and painting. For each of them, qualification of personnel, qualification of the involved procedures, qualifications of the materials and consumables should be evaluated. Operational procedures for every step of the fabrication and for auxiliary operations should be elaborated, discussed and approved by the Quality Manager.

Full textAbstract:
The TM Forum Open API specification TMF679 standardizes product offering qualification prior to order initiation. This specification facilitates real-time validation. Qualification leverages customer attributes, location data, and business rules. The API employs RESTful endpoints. It supports synchronous and asynchronous operations. Specifically, TMF679 can use notification mechanisms to communicate qualification status changes or provide updates to subscribing systems. The asynchronous capability is crucial for handling long-running qualification processes. Efficient pre-order validation becomes essential. This is due to increasing complexity in telecom operations. Accurate service delivery and enhanced customer experience depend on it. Moreover, seamless integration with BSS/OSS systems is necessary. The integration reinforces operational agility. This paper explores TMF679 core capabilities, structure, and implementation benefits. Dynamic qualification types are examined. The role of TMF679 in digital transformation is also considered. A standardized, scalable approach to TMF679 implementation is proposed. This approach enhances pre-sales efficiency. It ensures accurate serviceability checks.

Full textAbstract:
The steady increase in science-related requirements in operational areas of skilled and managing workforce is influencing worldwide the discourse on shaping professionalization. This article focuses on the compatibility of professional and scientific competence-oriented learning outcomes of qualification programmes within and across the education and training sectors. It is assumed that there is not, per se, a conceptual dichotomy in designing education and training programmes and credentials in a competence-oriented manner to address complex professional and scientific requirements in education and training in a compatible way. The article tries to shift the discussion from a systemic and institutional focus to a conceptual- and requirement-oriented perspective on qualification design. Using Germany as an example, it discusses the conceptual intersections of Vocational Education and Training and academic Higher Education on competence, and comparatively analyzes competence-oriented instruments for the classification and the transparency of learning outcomes and their application in the education practice of dual study programmes with vocational reference qualifications. On this basis, the article elucidates identified characteristics of comprehensive professional-scientific competences and relevant requirement areas in education and training. In addition, further prerequisites for an integrated competence acquisition in education programmes are discussed as well. It is assumed that these characteristics can also be regarded as important prerequisites for the connectivity of qualifications and permeable pathways within and between education systems.

Full textAbstract:
The article outlines the conceptual and practical foundations for implementing SMART governance in agricultural universities under the conditions of digitalization and extraordinary challenges. It substantiates the necessity of transitioning to a digital management model using analytical tools, process automation, energy management systems, cyber security, and integrated educational platforms, using the example of the micro-qualification course “Aqua Farming Navigator.” The study demonstrates that SMART governance enhances institutional economic efficiency by reducing operational costs, improving staff productivity, minimizing student attrition, and developing new revenue, particularly through micro-qualifications and digital educational services. The article presents case studies involving the implementation of IoT systems, LMS, ERP platforms, analytical dashboards, and smart shelters, along with an analysis of the economic effects of digital innovations in agricultural higher education institutions. Micro-qualification programs, based on digital resources and simulation-based learning, adapt the educational process to the demands of the modern labor market while providing additional income opportunities for universities through educational service delivery, non-budgetary funding, and the engagement of individuals interested in entrepreneurship and military personnel returning from combat operations. Participants gain practical experience in preparing grant and government support applications for aquaculture-related products, such as black soldier fly larvae, snails, insects, and giant freshwater prawns, and in identifying potential market pathways for commercialization. The program fosters job creation and supports veterans’ social reintegration into civilian life by facilitating entrepreneurial self-realization. The article highlights the adaptation of SMART-based approaches to the specific context of Ukrainian agricultural education, aiming to build a competitive and resilient academic ecosystem. It defines the conceptual framework of SMART university governance as a response to digital and crisis-related challenges, offering a theoretical justification for the model’s core principles, tools, and potential impact on the operational effectiveness of contemporary higher education institutions in agriculture under digital transformation.

In the most general sense, validation refers to a process that consists of at least four distinct components or steps: software, instruments, methods or procedures, and system suitability The system, the software, and the method must all be validated, and system suitability is used to keep the process in check. But while the overall process is called validation, some of the steps also are referred to by that same term, as well as other steps such as qualification and verification. Analytical instruments are used for a specific analysis. So regular performance verifications are made to ensure that the instrument to be used is suitable for its intended application. All equipments used in the production of products shall be properly Validated and Calibrated to demonstrate that it is suitable for its intended purpose. The current equipment qualification programs and procedures used within the pharmaceutical industry are based on regulatory requirements, voluntary standards, vendor practices, and industry practices. The result is considerable variation in the way pharmaceutical companies approach the qualification of laboratory equipment and the way they interpret the often vague requirements. The process for instrument qualification follows the 4Qs model approach. It include design qualification (DQ), Installation qualification (IQ), Operational qualification (OQ), Performance qualification (PQ). The goal of any regulated laboratory is to provide reliable and valid data suitable for its intended purpose. Analysts use validated methods, system suitability tests, and in-process quality control checks to ensure that the data they acquire are reliable and that there are specific guidance and procedures available to ensure compliance.

Abstract Background The employability of graduates has become a central topic in higher education policy and research. However, the construct still needs to be clarified. Objectives The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the applicability of an operational employability model in analysing the transition from study to work on a sample of graduates in Croatia as part of a larger Eurograduate pilot survey. The model has been rooted in the theories of human capital, cultural and social capital and constructivist educational theory. Methods/Approach Factor analysis was applied to reduce the number of measured variables into factor scores that were used as predictors in multiple regression analysis. Cox regression, logistic regression and linear regression were applied to test the employability model. Results The results showed that cultural capital, human capital, and bridging social capital, as well as high-impact practises during studies, such as volunteering and internships, have a positive impact on the likelihood of finding employment in less time after graduation in an occupation that vertically matches the qualification, and in a job with a higher monthly income. Conclusions The results have shown that cultural capital, human capital, and bridging social capital influence the probability of finding employment in a job that matches the level of qualification in a shorter time after graduation and in a job with a higher monthly income. These findings have practical implications for educators, policymakers, and employers, providing insights into the factors that can enhance graduate employability.

The results of implementing equipment qualification are analyzed. Such equipment is critical for the nuclear and technical safety of domestic nuclear power plants that are especially important for the implementation of the Program for extending the terms of out-of-project operation of power reactors that are capable of being used as powerful sources of electricity. Based on the comparison of published reliability indicators of domestic nuclear power plants before and after implementing the qualification, it is shown that still there are problems to be solved. The perspective of further enhancing the reliability of the operation of domestic nuclear energetics is considered, by implementing radiation functional testing methods that are been developed at the INR NAS of Ukraine for a long period. The basis of this method is detailed research and operational control of all processes that occur in critical equipment in any operating modes of nuclear reactors to form a resource history of the equipment and to provide operational information about the remaining resource and the expected time of its failure to an on-line object operator.

Abstract The oil and gas industry subsurface formation evaluation instruments experience significant challenging vibrations and shock levels. Equipment development requirements for these instruments include reliability and durability under these severe operating conditions. The engineering design for this equipment utilizes tools that enable the estimation of service lifetime, maintenance cycles, and related costs. These engineering tools model failure modes and their acceleration factors and how failures interact under certain circumstances. Laboratory test data and operations failure history are used to validate the model results. Incorporating equipment operational failure history into the reliability design after failure analysis, enables determination of failure modes and the length of stress level exposure. Before the equipment is commissioned to field operational service, it is subjected to a batch of environmental qualification tests under objective pass-fail criteria. The environmental qualification test conditions and adopted stress levels are acquired through measurements made with sensors (temperature, acceleration, and shock) in the equipment assembly during field operational conditions in targeted environments. After the equipment passes the qualification tests and final inspection, it is commissioned to field commercial service. This paper studies the development of specific equipment failures during operational field deployment after they were subjected to standard environmental qualifications tests. Various investigative actions focused on determining the cause and circumstances that led to the unexpected field failure. Results helped to introduce corrective updates to the equipment design and manufacturing, durability and reliability design models and procedures, environmental stress levels, and corresponding qualification test conditions. The equipment failures were examined, and comprehensive 3D custom vibration and stress modeling were conducted for the entire equipment assembly and each assembly module. The modeling results pinpointed and confirmed the high stress levels in the failure areas. These high stress levels exceeded the assembly construction strength thresholds, causing failures. The equipment assembly was modified and reinforced to properly support the detected stresses and provide the required lifetime reliability and durability for the operational service. A full 3D model of the equipment assembly was used for the vibration and bending load analysis including all mechanical assembly parts, electronics modules, couplings, and attachments. The 3D model was meshed with Tet and Hex elements in ANSYS application software, failure-prone and critical regions were meshed with finer divisions. In this analysis the electronics modules assembly were considered with all parts, attachments, structural frames, linkages, carriers, and printed circuit board (PCB) modules properly attached and connected to the main chassis structural carrier. Geometries, mass, module and assembly attachments, and material properties were assigned to components in this model. External loads and boundary conditions environmentally imposed to the assembly were applied in the model. Environmental conditions, shock, and vibration (x, y, and z) recorded from similar equipment deployed in subsurface operations in equivalent wells and geological formations were used in the modeling parameters. Displacement modeling data and analysis was performed for all mechanical structural components, PCB electronics module assemblies and assembly components, and module electronics component attachments. A model harmonic analysis under static conditions was performed to detect the oscillatory modes and vibratory resonances and the extent of oscillatory displacements. A structural and main carrier chassis modal analysis was conducted for the entire model, identifying the dominant oscillatory modes and natural structural oscillatory frequencies. The displacement can be used for detection of maximum allowable plastic deformation threshold and cyclic fatigue analysis of attachments, structural support members, and linkages for equipment service lifetime durability and reliability assessment. Past field instrumented operational conditions with documented failures and lab characterization of failure modes along with failure behavior and failure triggering thresholds have provided limits for the mechanical and electronics assembly technology with maximum acceleration level of random vibration and maximum equivalent stress level tolerated by the equipment's structural assembly, standard design techniques, and materials. With these structural stress and displacement limits the 3D modeling results were inspected for the entire assembly, identifying the points in the mesh model where these limits were exceeded. The inspection determined that these recommended limits had been exceeded according to the model results, placing a reduced importance to the adjustment of tolerable maximum stresses and displacements. The mesh points with excessive stress and displacement-induced fatigue coincided with the areas where field failure had been detected in examined field failed units. Because of this modeled assembly performance result and details from the externally imposed operational shocks and vibration, the equipment mechanical and electronics assembly structural design were re-engineered to produce an updated model simulation results that did not exceed the demonstrated cumulative failure threshold stresses in lab tests and field operations. The modified equipment assembly was built and environmentally re-tested in the lab environment with more instrumentation points and scrutiny around the failure critical areas. The test results were successful. After deployment of the new and updated equipment assembly version, its field deployment has not observed similar field failures compared with the previous design version. These modeling and engineering tools, qualification test procedures, and methods can be used to validate a new design or understand the most effective and economical approach to iterate the design before it is launched to field operations or after a field failure.

Full textAbstract:
To address the issues of high labor intensity, excessive manpower requirements, low planting spacing qualification rates, low planting depth qualification rates, and low operational efficiency associated with sweet potato transplanting, a sweet potato seedling belt transplanter has been designed. This machine can perform multiple processes: precision tillage and ridge shaping, orderly seedling feeding from rolls, the efficient separation of seedlings from the belt, flexible gripping and shaping, precise soil covering and the mechanism of exposing seedling tips. A three-factor, three-level orthogonal test was carried out using the forward speed of the machine, the pitch of the screw belt and the rotational speed of the screw as the influencing factors of the performance test, and the qualified rate of planting spacing and the qualified rate of planting depth as the evaluation indexes. The test results indicated that the significance order of the factors affecting the qualification rate for planting spacing with the optimal combination of factors was as follows: a forward speed of 0.3 m·s−1, a ribbon spacing of 60 mm, and a screw speed of 160 rpm. Field trials confirmed that under optimal conditions, the average qualification rate for planting spacing was 90.37%, meeting relevant technical standards and agronomic requirements.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims at exploring what is covered by « adapting to last » with a farming systems approach. Long term dynamics can be analysed as adaptive cycles, the system being permanently exposed to disturbances and shocks. Mobilizing the concept of resilience, we analyse the factors that differentiate the principles for long term action the livestock farmers have, principles which give consistency to the family - farms trajectories. With the concept of operational flexibilty, we qualify the sources of flexibility the livestock farmers maintain to cope with hazards. They are internal, related to the production process regulation properties, to the technical (adaptive or rigid) specifications, to the sales policies, or external related to the information and commercial networks. Understanding the production process regulation properties require livestock farming systems models (i.e. combining decisional and biological sub-systems) that can simulate how herd dynamics operate under fluctuant rules or productive parameters. It also require to evaluate the room for manoeuvre the work organization let to the farmer. All these aspects are illsutrated with on farm studies in herbivore systems (sheep, dairy, beef).

Statements 1 Prerequisites. The clinical service provider should obtain confirmation from the endoscope washer-disinfector (EWD) manufacturer that all endoscopes intended to be used can be reprocessed in the EWD. 2 Installation qualification. This can be performed by different parties but national guidelines should define who has the responsibilities, taking into account legal requirements. 3 Operational qualification. This should include parametric tests to verify that the EWD is working according to its specifications. 4 Performance qualification. Testing of cleaning performance, microbiological testing of routinely used endoscopes, and the quality of the final rinse water should be considered in all local guidelines. The extent of these tests depends on local requirements. According to the results of type testing performed during EWD development, other parameters can be tested if local regulatory authorities accept this. Chemical residues on endoscope surfaces should be searched for, if acceptable test methods are available. 5 Routine inspections. National guidelines should consider both technical and performance criteria. Individual risk analyses performed in the validation and requalification processes are helpful for defining appropriate test frequencies for routine inspections.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. As part of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS), a physical–biogeochemical coupled model system has been developed to monitor and forecast the ocean dynamics and marine ecosystem of the European waters and more specifically on the Iberia–Biscay–Ireland (IBI) area. The CMEMS IBI coupled model covers the north-east Atlantic Ocean from the Canary Islands to Iceland, including the North Sea and the western Mediterranean, with a NEMO-PISCES 1∕36∘ model application. The coupled system has been providing 7 d weekly ocean forecasts for CMEMS since April 2018. Prior to its operational launch, a pre-operational qualification simulation (2010–2016) has allowed assessing the model's capacity to reproduce the main biogeochemical and ecosystem features of the IBI area. The objective of this paper is then to describe the consistency and skill assessment of the PISCES biogeochemical model using this 7-year qualification simulation. The model results are compared with available satellite estimates as well as in situ observations (ICES, EMODnet and BGC-Argo). The simulation successfully reproduces the spatial distribution and seasonal cycles of oxygen, nutrients, chlorophyll a and net primary production, and confirms that PISCES is suitable at such a resolution and can be used for operational analysis and forecast applications. This model system can be a useful tool to better understand the current state and changes in the marine biogeochemistry of European waters and can also provide key variables for developing indicators to monitor the health of marine ecosystems. These indicators may be of interest to scientists, policy makers, environmental agencies and the general public.

Full textAbstract:
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in nuclear power plants today mostly relies on the qualification tests of the new equipment and adhering to some good installation practices. Diversity of the electromagnetic environment and different susceptibility of the plant equipment calls for a systematic classification of the EMC zones in a nuclear power plant. The paper proposes a methodology that uses a combination of the qualification tests, in situ and bench immunity tests, site survey measurements, operational experience, and numerical calculations to divide a nuclear power plant into a reasonable number of EMC zones. This would primarily help to have a better overview of the current EMC level in the plant and to unify emission and susceptibility requirements for the new equipment. In this paper, special attention is given to the preparation and performance of the in situ tests, which present the most challenging step of the methodology. In addition, the paper proposes some of the possible applications of the numerical calculations and addresses their challenges and limitations. The novel classification methodology, inspired by the equipment qualification program, is illustrated with examples from Krško Nuclear Power Plant, which recently performed a comprehensive EMC assessment.

Full textAbstract:
CubeSats facilitate rapid development and deployment of missions for educational, technology demonstration, and scientific purposes. However, they are subject to a high failure rate, with a leading cause being the lack of system-level verification. The Educational Irish Research Satellite (EIRSAT-1) is a CubeSat mission under development in the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Fly Your Satellite! Programme. EIRSAT-1 is a 2U CubeSat with three novel payloads and a bespoke antenna deployment module, which all contribute to the complexity of the project. To increase the likelihood of mission success, a prototype model philosophy is being employed, where both an engineering qualification model (EQM) and a flight model of EIRSAT-1 are being built. Following the assembly of the EQM, the spacecraft underwent a successful full functional test and month-long mission test. An environmental test campaign in ESA Education Office’s CubeSat Support Facility was then conducted with the EQM where both vibration and thermal verification test campaigns were performed. The focus of this paper is the thermal testing and verification of the EIRSAT-1 EQM. Over three weeks, the EQM was subjected to one non-operational cycle, three and a half operational cycles, and a thermal balance test in a thermal vacuum chamber. After dwelling at each temperature extreme, functional tests were performed to investigate the performance of the spacecraft in this space representative environment. The approach to planning and executing the thermal testing is described in detail including the documentation required, set up of the test equipment, and determination of the test levels. Overall, the campaign demonstrated that the mission can successfully operate in a space environment similar to that expected in orbit, despite encountering a number of issues. These issues included a payload displaying anomalous behaviour at cold temperatures and needing to redefine test levels due to an insufficient understanding of the internal dissipation in the spacecraft. A total of two major and three minor non-conformances were raised. Crucially, these issues could not have been found without thermal testing, despite the comprehensive ambient tests performed. The main results and lessons learned during this thermal test campaign are presented with the aim of guiding future missions on optimal approaches in organising and executing the thermal testing of their CubeSats.

Full textAbstract:
To address the issue of a poor seed-filling performance and seeding quality in air-suction corn seed metering devices during high-speed operation, an energy-efficient precision corn seeder with dual-side-disturbance-facilitated guiding slots is designed. The dual-side-disturbance-promoting method effectively increases the seed agitation, directing the corn seeds toward the suction holes and improving the seed-filling quality. The theoretical design of the dual-side guiding slot angles results in an upper-side guiding slot angle range of 29° to 19° and a lower-side guiding slot angle range of 72° to 90°. Bench tests are conducted to further optimize the parameter range, with the negative suction chamber pressure, upper-side guiding slot angle, and lower-side guiding slot angle as the experimental factors and the seedling qualification rate, missed sowing rate, and double-sowing rate as the evaluation indicators. An orthogonal experiment is carried out to analyze the interaction effects of factors on the evaluation indicators, followed by parameter optimization and verification tests. When the negative suction chamber pressure is 3.7 kPa, the upper-side guiding slot angle is 26.9°, and the lower-side guiding slot angle is 72.9°, the verification test results show a qualification index of 97.7%, a missed sowing index of 1.3%, and a row-spacing variation coefficient of 1%. The operational speed adaptability test results show that when the working speed is ≤14 km/h, the seed metering device achieves a qualification index above 97.1%, a missed sowing index below 1.5%, and a double sowing index below 1.4%, indicating good adaptability to working speeds. The comparison test results show that when the operating speed is between 8 and 12 km/h, the air-suction seed metering device with dual-side-disturbance-facilitated guiding slots achieves a 2.1% increase in the qualification index, significantly improving seeding quality. The energy consumption comparison test results indicate that under the same operational speed and approximately equal seeding quality, the air-suction seed metering device with dual-side guiding slots and dual-side-disturbance-facilitated air suction requires a reduction in negative pressure of more than 0.7 kPa, resulting in lower energy consumption.

Full textAbstract:
The inlet casing inner has manufactured using Ti-6Al-4V alloy through a closed die-forging route. It undergoes cyclic loads in addition to operating in extreme conditions in high-temperature environments. The demanding mission requirement of these engines necessitates the inlet casing inner to be flawless throughout its life cycle while retaining its structural integrity. It makes the qualification for airworthiness of the casing, a daunting task. In addition, the qualification tests also help to evaluate the design and manufacturing processes (closed die forging) of the inlet casing inner. The tests also provide data for further improvement of the inlet casing inner in terms of strength and fatigue life. It helps to ensure that the inlet casing inner will be able to perform as expected throughout its operational life. All the batch and consolidated test results comply with the relevant ASTM, MIL standards, and test schedule requirements.

Full textAbstract:
To enhance peanut sowing depth consistency, an active depth adjustment planter was designed. This study employs inclination and pressure sensors for ridge surface detection, coupled with a hydraulic cylinder and profiling mechanism to dynamically adjust furrow depth according to ground variations. A mathematical model integrating detection, adjustment, and execution processes was established. The control system adopts an improved DLF-Fuzzy PID (double-loop feedback fuzzy PID) control strategy, with co-simulation in MATLAB/AMESIM for performance comparison. The results demonstrate the improved algorithm’s superiority in sowing depth accuracy. Field experiments evaluated three operational parameters (vehicle speed, pressure, and sowing depth) with the qualification rate as the metric. At 50 mm sowing depth and 3 km/h speed, the system achieved a 94.6% dynamic qualification rate and 2.38% maximum depth variation coefficient. Compared with existing methods, this approach enhances sowing depth control effectiveness by 6.05% and reduces variation by 2.85%.

Full textAbstract:
An important cornerstone of the Advanced Qualification Program is the use of realistic flight simulations to train flight crews and evaluate their proficiency. This is achieved through the use of Line Operational Simulations (LOSs) which contain a number of realistic event sets that require flight crews to use the knowledge, skills, and abilities they gained in training in both technical and crew resource management areas. In the past, the development of LOS scenarios was complex, expensive, and time-consuming. As a result, the number of LOS scenarios used by any particular training organization was limited. This may have led, in some cases, to the LOS scenarios being compromised among flight crews, thus reducing the validity and reliability of the assessment process. In response to this problem, it has been suggested to create a methodology for quickly reconfiguring the content of flight simulator LOS scenarios. This paper provides a background for this new development and describes a research project that was begun in response to this need. A number of specific research questions are discussed which need to be answered before the methodology can be adopted by participants in the AQP program.

Abstract As MIL-STD-810G, Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests, and subsequent versions have incorporated multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) vibration test methodologies, it is important to understand the history and factors that drove the original decision in MIL-STD-810 to focus on single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) vibration testing. Examining the thought process behind early MIL-STD-810 vibration test methods is useful when considering MDOF testing now that it is feasible with today's technology and documented in MIL-STD-810. This paper delves into the details of the decision made in the 1960s to develop the SDOF vibration testing standards in MIL-STD-810 beyond the limitations of technology at the time. This paper also considers the implications for effective test planning today considering the advances in test capabilities and improvements in understanding of the operational environment.

Abstract The high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider, scheduled to become operational in 2029, requires the replacement of the ATLAS Inner Detector with a new all-silicon Inner Tracker. Radiation hard n+-in-p micro-strip silicon sensors were developed by the ATLAS Inner Tracker strip collaboration and are produced by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. Production of the total amount of 22000 strip sensors has started in 2020 and will continue until 2025. The ATLAS strip sensor collaboration has the responsibility to monitor the quality of the fabricated devices by performing detailed measurements of individual sensor characteristics and by comparing the obtained results with the tests done by the manufacturer. Dedicated Quality Control procedures were developed to check whether the delivered large-format sensors adhere to the ATLAS specifications. The institutes performing the Quality Control testing of the pre-production and production ATLAS ITk strip sensors had to initially be qualified for multiple high-throughput tests by successfully completing the Site Qualification process. The Quality Control procedures and the qualification process are described in this paper.

Objective: The objective of the study is to verify how the application of operational auditing in the rates of credit operations of a financial institution can instrumentalize management in the decision-making process. Theoretical Framework: In order to build the theoretical basis to interpret the empirical data, the authors reviewed the scientific literature that deals with operational auditing, internal controls, standards, regulations and legislation applied to auditing. Method: The methodology adopted comprises descriptive research, with a qualitative approach and a case study in a large financial institution, containing characteristics and mechanisms specific to the organization in question. Data collection through semi-structured interviews with the institution's managers, directly linked to credit operations, in addition to documentary survey and observation. Results and Discussion: The results of the research showed fluctuations between the positions of the audited financial institution, regarding the items highlighted in each criterion when defining the credit rate. It is also possible to identify high levels of irregularities in some criteria for defining the rates adopted. Implications of the Research: The research contributes to the literature through its practical propositions regarding the performance of operational audits, in which it was found that internal controls must be improved with the aim of reducing notes and irregularities found in the definition of rates for credit operations of the financial institution. Originality/Value: The research highlights the relevance of auditing in the qualification of internal controls and efficient management to combat errors or fraud, a topic that is still little explored in scientific literature.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents an overview of a set of tests performed by Embraer with two different SHM technologies in an E-Jets flight tests aircraft. Considered as promising technologies for monitoring structural parts, sensors networks including cables and connectors of CVM (Comparative Vacuum Monitoring) and LW (Lamb Waves) were installed in an Embraer-190 aircraft. The two technologies have been investigated by Embraer within the companys effort on Structural Health Monitoring. Scheduled maintenance and inspection activities can take advantage of the SHM technologies by evaluating the structural integrity of an aircraft with on-board sensors and performing less time-consuming procedures compared to current NDT technologies which can not only reduce the amount of time and burden of those activities, but also minimize the effects of human-factors when compared to current inspection tasks. The tests performed with CVM and LW components (sensors, connectors and cables) installed in a flight tests aircraft focus on the investigation of the technologies capabilities of withstanding the real aircraft operational conditions. Periodic monitoring of these on-board sensors has been performed using CVM and LW ground equipments. A further phase of this project is currently under development and focus on the demonstration of an on-board in-flight version of the CVM instrumentation system for continuous monitoring of aircraft structures during flight, aiming to demonstrate the ability of the CVM on-board equipment to withstand the aircraft in-flight environmental and operational conditions. Preliminary results on both partially and totally on-board equipments indicate that they can withstand the environmental and operational conditions; however, further tests need to be performed. Performing periodic inspections on ground with SHM systems lead to different qualification requirements when compared to those required for a complete on-board system that performs continuous monitoring. An overview of those two aspects of qualification requirements will also be presented.

Purpose: to investigate the novel possibilities of assessing simple visual-motor reaction using modern mobile technologies. Material and methods. Research methods included analysis and synthesis of scientific-methodical literature, psychophysiological measurements, and mathematical statistical methods utilizing licensed programs RStudio and Numbers. The study was conducted in several stages. In the first stage, 135 students from Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture and Kharkiv State Academy of Arts of various specializations, aged 18-23 years, participated: martial arts (n=45); sports games (n=28); sports and artistic gymnastics (n=22); dance, choreography (n=40). The second stage presented the results of measurements from over 200 respondents, of different ages and genders, users of the «Reaction Visual & Acoustical» application on the iOS platform who provided their results in the «Game Center». Results: According to the first stage findings, information regarding the characteristics of the manifestation of simple visual-motor reaction in students of various specializations was obtained. It was noted that the level of sports qualification of athletes influences the reaction manifestation level. The least changes outside the upper and lower quartiles were observed in the martial arts group, where more students had higher sports qualifications. The most significant changes outside the upper and lower quartiles were observed in the sports games group, indicating the presence of athletes of different qualification levels in this group. According to the second stage results, a comparative analysis determined that there were no statistically significant differences (p>0,05) between the measurement indicators of «Game Center» users and the indicators of students of various specializations. Comparing the measurement results in the study groups, it was found that the reaction time of martial artists was statistically lower (p<0,05) than the reaction time of representatives of other specializations and «Game Center» users. Conclusions. Modern computer technologies allow for increased accuracy and speed of obtaining results of various measurements, saving time on result processing, making operational conclusions, and making relevant decisions. The results obtained during the study indicate that the level of sports qualification of athletes influences the reaction manifestation level. Thus, it was determined that martial artists with higher sports qualifications, who passed the appropriate selection stages, have more developed psychophysiological capabilities for the manifestation of various types of reactions. According to the comparative analysis results, it can be argued that there are no statistically significant differences (p>0,05) between the measurement indicators of «Game Center» users and the indicators of students of various specializations.
