“…At the level of higher education institutions, two key issues need to be dealt with, when referring to students' competencies/knowledge/skills and their correlation with the labor market [9]: (1) how universities can communicate better with students the skills and knowledge they need to acquire, and (2) how they can make them understand and use these skills in their future jobs.…”

“…At the moment, as Sá and Serpa [8] also maintain that the labor market is blocked and is rapidly changing due to the occurrence of new professional and scientific fields, and implicitly, new jobs make the mission of higher education more and more challenging and less indisputable. The higher education system is in a moment of transition, and universities need to discover new ways of attracting students and, moreover, preparing them for the current job market and ensuring the sustainable development of society [9].…”

The purpose of this paper was to provide empirical evidence of the impact of quality assurance in higher education on two relevant higher education outcomes; students’ knowledge, skills, and competencies; and their employability. Survey data were collected from two major Romanian public universities and analyzed using a partial least-squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The main results suggested that students’ competencies were positively and directly influenced by the quality of the educational process, as well as the practical and research activities. The students’ chances of employment in the labor market were positively and directly influenced only by the quality of the educational process and by the research activities. Indirect influences were also revealed. The findings of the study may be shown to have theoretical implications by proposing a model that links the features of quality management in higher education institutions with students’ competencies and chances of employment in the labor market. From a practical perspective, the results may be of interest to higher education policy makers, to evaluation and accreditation institutions, to universities, and also to students.

“…Such characteristics as critical thinking, adaptability and cultural competence come to the forefront. The authors of the article see the main point in the following: on the one hand, teachers should effectively create the knowledge base of students, and on the other hand, they should teach future professionals to adapt their knowledge to the needs of their future employers (Zartner et al, 2017).…”

Abstract--The study examined whether strategies employed in translating Islamic terms of the research papers from Indonesian into English distorted the intended messages. Translation strategies refer to ways of transferring messages or meaning from a source language (SL) into a target language (TL). The data of the study were Islamic terms of dissertation abstracts representing different themes taken randomly from the university repository. All data were qualitatively analyzed using the concepts of translation strategies relevant to the dissertation's abstracts as research papers. The study showed translators mostly used preservation, addition, globalization, and localization strategy. Preservation strategy is used by borrowing the source language terms for there was difficult to find the same terms in English as TL; and an addition strategy by using English terms with brief descriptive notes placed in the text. Globalization utilized TL generic words because they conveyed meaning commonly understood by readers; and localization employed deleting, changing, and adapting SL words' phonological components and graphic symbols. The analysis also indicated that the translation of Islamic terms of dissertation abstracts from Indonesian into English was dominantly influenced by foreignization-ideology. This led to produce certain meaning distortion in the TL that made readers misunderstand the intended messages.
