Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA) The key objective of JPMA is the development of a competitive pharmaceutical industry with a greater awareness and understanding of international issues.

JPMA promotes and encourages the adoption of international standards by its member companies. [Pg.92]

The global nature of the food supply and world food trade have made food quality and food safety international issues. Hence, since its inception, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been working toward the improvement of food safety. In partnership with the Lood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (LAO), WHO provides for the Secretariat of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC). The latter Commission is responsible for all matters pertaining to the implementation of the Joint LAO/WHO Lood Standards Program. [Pg.304]

The packaging and transport requirements associated with plant-protection products constitute an international issue covered by agreed procedures relating to classification, identification, packaging, marking and labelling, documentation and training. Many of the procedures address issues wider than the delivery of pesticides, and a detailed discussion of these requirements is beyond the scope of this chapter. [Pg.47]

The obvious need to avoid undue disclosure of internal issues and business methods, names, distribution lists and the like, as well as to avoid transmitting information extraneous or strictly tangential to the technical matter at hand, must not be confused with undue reticence. If others are expected to properly implement in-house process know-how or to use it as the basis for an activity to be done on our behalf or as part of an agreement or license, the disclosure of the technical information must be no less than sufficient what works and what does not work, the technical rationale for the prior decisions, our best understanding of the process issues and sufficient detail of methods, process design calculations, and data. In particular, data on thermochemical safety, industrial hygiene, and environmental profile need to be fully disclosed. [Pg.69]

A few years after the merger, the provost convened a universitywide committee to consider these multicultural and international legacies and how to advance them. Committee members hosted meetings on their respective campuses and invited students, staff, and faculty to attend and share their perspectives on diversity, on multicultural and international issues, and particularly on whether and how the university might recommit itself to this work. [Pg.457]

It is also important that the accountability and reward systems for faculty and staff include attention to diversity and inclusion, such that employees are evaluated based in part on their effectiveness with respect to the university s diversity and inclusion action plan and their success in incorporating diversity awareness, knowledge, and skills into their everyday assignments and tasks. As an example, at Alliant, after adoption of the university diversity plan, the provost worked with the faculty senate to amend the criteria for faculty advancement and promotion to include the degree to which faculty incorporate multicultural and international topics and issues in their teaching and scholarship. In their annual self-study, faculty are asked to discuss whether and how their work has integrated multicultural and international issues, and their program directors, deans, and peer reviewers consider this in the evaluation decision. [Pg.465]

As an example, at Alliant, with support from the associate provost for research and scholarship, my office sponsored a mentoring program in which senior faculty parmer with junior faculty to assist the latter in publishing a manuscript that focuses on or substantively engages multicultural or international issues. The mentors were provided a small stipend for their work, and the mentees received a stipend if their manuscript was submitted by a designated deadline. My office provided an orientation and support to the mentors and mentees and gave some structure to the process. [Pg.469]

However, international issues are increasingly seen as integrally related to domestic diversity issues they are being viewed as another important area of diversity in which differences based on power and privilege affect opportunities and outcomes. Over the past decade, the American Council on Education (ACE) has sponsored several initiatives to address the historical divide between multicultural education and internationalization and to foster an exploration of common goals and opportunities, with the ultimate aim of graduating students who are culturally competent citizens of the world (see Olson et al., 2007). [Pg.475]
