The paper is dedicated to the study of strong duality for a problem linear copositive programming. Based on recently introduced concept set normalized immobile indices, an extended dual deduced. satisfies relations and does not require any additional regularity assumptions such as constraint qualifications. main difference with previously obtained results consists in fact that now uses neither ...

Introduction: Teaching Qualifications (TQs) have been implemented in University Medical Centers, but their relation to teachers’ motivation for medical teaching is unknown. Because teacher motivation influences important outcomes, it is crucial to study how TQs are related to promoting teacher motivation, by fulfilling the basic needs of feeling autonomous, competent, and related towards medica...

In upcoming years, the United States will experience an unprecedented teacher shortage, meaning that the country will need to supplement its teaching force with approximately two million new teachers. The massive shortage will come as a result of increasing student enrollments, mounting retirement rates of current teachers, and high rates of attrition for beginning teachers. Additionally, the N...

Certification terminology In February 1994, the AOA Board of Trustees adopted the following standardized definitions of certification and eliminated certificates of special recognition. General Certification (formerly “Primary Certification”): The primary certification conferred on diplomates who meet the requirements in a specified field of medical practice under the jurisdiction of a certifyi...

In this paper, we give an overview on optimality conditions and exact penalization for the mathematical program with switching constraints (MPSC). MPSC is a new class of optimization problems important applications. It well known that if treated as standard nonlinear program, some usual constraint qualifications may fail. To deal issue, one could reformulate it disjunctive (MPDC). first survey ...

The purpose of this article is to explore the development of qualifications frameworks as a key element in the Bologna process, which aims to develop a European Higher Education Area by 2010. By setting up descriptors of learning outcomes, a European qualifications framework is intended as an instrument that enables Europe to coordinate and exchange qualifications. Furthermore, the article anal...
