STRATEGY OF THE REMOVE AND EASY TBT IN GCC 6 COUNTRIEScscpconf
The last technical barriers to trade(TBT) between countries are Non-Tariff Barriers(NTBs),
meaning all trade barriers are possible other than Tariff Barriers. And the most typical
examples are (TBT), which refer to measure Technical Regulation, Standards, Procedure for
Conformity Assessment, Test & Certification etc. Therefore, in order to eliminate TBT, WTO
has made all membership countries automatically enter into an agreement on TBT. In this study,
the elimination strategy of TBT with aid of technical regulations or standards is excluded, and
only the conformity assessment shall be considered as the strategic measure of eliminating TBT
in GCC(Gulf Cooperation Council) 6 countries. The measure for every membership country to
accord with the international standards corresponding to their technical regulations and
standards, is only to present TBT related Specific Trade Concern(STC) to WTO. However, each
of countries retains its own conformity assessment area, and measures to settle such differences
are various as well. Therefore, it is likely required an appropriate level of harmonization in
them to carry forward this scheme. KTC(Korea Testing Certification) written MRA with GCC
test & certification company in 2015 years. So Korea exporting company can export to GCC
goods with attached test & certification documents in Korea. To conclude, it is suggest MRA for
the remove and reduce TBT to increase export and import among countries.

This document provides a course syllabus for History 2030: Tennessee History at an unnamed university. The syllabus outlines key details about the course including the instructor's contact information, course description and purpose, learning outcomes, instructional methodology, evaluation procedures, course schedule, attendance policy, and accommodations for students with disabilities. The course surveys the geographical background, peoples, political life, economic and social development of Tennessee from its earliest beginnings to the present. Students will be evaluated based on exams, research assignments, and presentations to demonstrate their mastery of Tennessee history and ability to think critically about historical interpretations.
The document summarizes research on the harms of corporal punishment of children and argues that legal reform prohibiting it can be an effective strategy for changing social norms and practices. It describes experiences in Sweden and New Zealand, where legal bans on corporal punishment were accompanied by significant declines in support for the practice and reports of it occurring. While public opinion often lags legal changes initially, studies found dramatic shifts in attitudes and self-reported experiences of corporal punishment over time in both countries following prohibition.
Database Project Charter/Business Case
Khalia Hart
University of Maryland Global Campus
February 21, 2020
Introduction
A database is an electronic collection of data that is built by a user so that they can access, update particular information in the database coherently or rapidly. Today firms employ integrated technology to increase their capacity to serve more clients, keep information well or effectively, organize activities according to the urgency or priorities, accounting records (Tüttelmann F, 2015). Most of the integrated technology depends on multiple databases that supply information relevant in making the decision. Since the business started using databases, their performance increase because the business decisions they make are sound and practical.
Business Problem
The supply chain management is one of the most complicated processes in the business and often at times due to need of detail it gets hard for the supply chain manager to keep the record of the work covered effectively, have enough data to make the decision and also have enough data to monitor the chain of operation (William, 2019). The supply chain has been so crucial for the business because it determines the performance of the company in the industry by assessing the quality of the product produced in the organization, cost of production, the time and effectiveness of distribution network, and overall production operation of the organization.
Operation management has been named as the leading cause of business failure caused by a lack of a system, which the manager or the supervisor can use to monitor the whole system. This is the problem to solve using the database (William, 2019). Using a database, the manager can observe or watch the entire chain from their office, make better decisions by fore- planning approach of the database also make changes within the system when there is the need to cut costs or making the process effective.
Project Scope
Most business organizations are spread in operation, and this is the challenge that makes the supply chain management complex (Tüttelmann F, 2015). This is because the chain is in different localities, and therefore, coordination of operation among the user or the workers becomes a challenge. Through the database system, the business will enjoy proper coordination using the wide Area Network (LAN). Through the LAN network, the company can link computers and cost-effectively share data and communication. Through this system, the company will have a connection and coordination of the processes within the organization. The number of connected devices will range from 10 to 1000, depending on the type of tools and system that is set to facilitate this connection.
Goals and objectives of the system
The purpose of the system that I want to install in the supply chain management is to;
· Monitoring of the supply chain- the system will enable the manager to monitor the system and every process in the order (Gattor.

Kraft reformed Oreo cookies to make them more successful in China. They made the cookies less sweet to suit Chinese tastes, sold them in smaller, cheaper packages, and marketed them with a "dunking" theme. This involved training student brand ambassadors to educate consumers about dipping cookies in milk. Kraft also introduced a Chinese-style Oreo wafer stick that surpassed regular Oreos in sales. These reforms helped Oreo become the best-selling biscuit in China.

Database System Overview
1.1 Business Environment
Office Depot, Inc is an American retail store company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Florida, United States. The company provides office and school supplies with 1400 retail stores and e-commerce sites. The supply includes everything to their customer like latest technology, core school and office supplies, printing and documenting service, furniture and other services like cell phone repair, tech and marketing service etc.
Recently there were too many complaints from existing and new customer that the online site is super glitch and lagging. Another customer posted that the delivery did not come on the scheduled day. And they cannot track down the order because the website does not have tracking information. Also when the website is down, customer service cannot help to see the order details either and therefore, they feel it’s frustrating to order online and therefore want to cancel the order. One other customer posted in the website grievance section that the “label maker” showed available in the stock even though it was out of stock when verified with the customer service representative. With every product not in stock, we lose opportunity of sale which costs the store. This not only affect customer but also affect company. We are so dependent on the data, most of the time staff has to correct accounting report, sales estimates and invoice customer manually which is very time-consuming in an excel sheet.
In order to solve above issues and avoid sales loss, Office Depot must have a database to store and maintain correct count of the products. This database will help inventory management i.e. tracking products, update inventory, find popular or less popular item, loss prevention, track inventory status and perform data mining. The staff can access this database via a computerized database. (Gerald H., Importance of inventory database retail)1.2 Database system goals and objective
The mission of the company is to become number one retail company by creating inclusive environment and great shopping experience where both customer and employees are respected and valued. To achieve the retail store mission, we are committed to provide secure and robust data base system for ou.
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting office.docxwhittemorelucilla
Database Security Assessment Transcript You are a contracting officer's technical representative, a Security System Engineer, at a military hospital. Your department's leaders are adopting a new medical health care database management system. And they've tasked you to create a request for proposal for which different vendors will compete to build and provide to the hospital. A Request For Proposal, or RFP, is when an organization sends out a request for estimates on performing a function, delivering a technology, or providing a service or augmenting staff. RFPs are tailored to each endeavor but have common components and are important in the world of IT contracting and for procurement and acquisitions. To complete the RFP, you must determine the technical and security specifications for the system. You'll write the requirements for the overall system and also provide evaluation standards that will be used in rating the vendor's performance. Your learning will help you determine your system's requirements. As you discover methods of attack, you'll write prevention and remediation requirements for the vendor to perform. You must identify the different vulnerabilities the database should be hardened against.
Modern healthcare systems incorporate databases for effective and efficient management of patient healthcare. Databases are vulnerable to cyberattacks and must be designed and built with security controls from the beginning of the life cycle. Although hardening the database early in the life cycle is better, security is often incorporated after deployment, forcing hospital and healthcare IT professionals to play catch-up. Database security requirements should be defined at the requirements stage of acquisition and procurement.
System security engineers and other acquisition personnel can effectively assist vendors in building better healthcare database systems by specifying security requirements up front within the request for proposal (RFP). In this project, you will be developing an RFP for a new medical healthcare database management system.
Parts of your deliverables will be developed through your learning lab. You will submit the following deliverables for this project:
Deliverables
• An RFP, about 10 to 12 pages, in the form of a double-spaced Word document with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables, or citations. There is no penalty for using additional pages. Include a minimum of six references. Include a reference list with the report.
• An MS-Excel spreadsheet with lab results.
There are 11 steps in this project. You will begin with the workplace scenario and continue with Step 1: "Provide an Overview for Vendors."
Step 1: Provide an Overview for Vendors
As the contracting officer's technical representative (COTR), you are the liaison between your hospital and potential vendors. It is your duty to provide vendors with an overview of your organization. To do so, identify infor.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

20. This assignment is directly linked to the following learning
outcomes from the course syllabus:
· Visualize data in a compelling way to enable data driven
storytelling.
· Conduct basic analytic tasks programmatically using the R
language*
· R is not required for this assignment, but you may choose to
use it if you feel confident in your R skills
Assignment Summary
There are two Excel sheets with data – one concerning "Good
Working Practice” audits (GWP_Audits_Data) and one
concerning “Computerized System Quality Assurance” audits
(CSQA_Audits_Data). Please see the accompanying Data
Dictionary to understand the fields and values.
You may use any software to perform the analyses specified
below. Collaboration is encouraged, but you must not submit
identical assignments.
The assignment has three parts. In the Appendix of this
assignment, you are provided an example of how the questions
in Part I should be answered.
Part I
Please review the Vertex Data Dictionary document as you
review the Excel datasheets.
In order to understand the data we first need to run some
descriptives on the data set. For both the GxP Audits and the
CSQA Audits sheets, we want to look at the following
variables:
· Audit Status
· In USA or OUS
· GxP Area
· Audit Type
· Audit Method
· Proposed Quarter
Start by providing the following for each variable:
1. A table that provides the frequency and percent of each value
2. A graphic representation of the count of each value
21. 3. A graphic representation of the percent of each value
4. What business question do your descriptive analyses answer?
Provide a brief discussion of the findings. If there are any
unusual values, discuss them. Are these values “out of range”?
If so, the data cleaning is not complete. Delete the out of range
values and run the analysis again. If this is the case for any of
the variables, present both the analysis with the out of range
values and the analysis with the deleted out of range value.
Please first present your findings for the 2017 GxP Audits data
and then the findings for the 2017 CSQA Audits data.
Note: Appendix 1 is only an example and you must complete
your own analysis.
Part II
For each worksheet, compute the number of days lapsed
between:
1. “Date of Intake” and “Date Q Sent”. Name that variable
“Days_Intake_QSent”
2. “Date Q Sent” and “Date Q Received”. Name that variable
“Days_QSent_QReceived. Based on the name of the variables,
what do you think that variable means? Does it apply to all
audits? Why?
3. “Date On Site Scheduled” and “Audit Start Date”. Name that
variable “Days_OnSiteScheduled_AuditStartDate. Does this
variable apply to all audits? Why?
4. “Audit Start Date and “Audit End Date”. Name that variable
“Days_StartDate_EndDate”.
5. “Audit End Date” and “Date Final Report Due”. Name that
variable “Days_AuditEnd_FinalReportDue”
6. “Date Final Report Due” and “Date of Completion”. Name
that variable “Days_FinalReportDue_CompletionDate”
Then, compute the mean and median for each of the 6 variables
you have computed.
Part III
Would you recommend merging the sheets “2017 GxP Audits”
and “2017 CSQA” Audits? Why or why not?

Discussion:
The data file includes information on 96 audits in 2017 for GxP
areas. It is unclear if the data file includes all the known GxP
audits in 2017 or if it only includes a subset.
A large percentage of all GxP Audits (27.1%) are not in scope.
19.8% of audits are closed and 4.2% of audits are completed. It
is unclear what the difference between “closed” and
“completed” audits is. We should perhaps ask the client. Do we
really need two distinct values?
18.8% of the audits are in progress, 11.5% are scheduled and
14.6% are pending. For the pending audits, the dates of the
audit process have not been established.
4.2% of the audits were canceled. It may be interesting to have
a notes field where the reasons for cancelation are noted.
