Interview Of Pilots’ Inflight Loss Of Control Experiences, Neelakshi Majumdar, Karen Marais May 2023

Interview Of Pilots’ Inflight Loss Of Control Experiences, Neelakshi Majumdar, Karen Marais

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Inflight loss of control (LOC-I) continues to be a significant cause of General Aviation fixed-wing aircraft accidents. Nearly 20% of fixed-wing aircraft accidents in the last two decades involved LOC-I, and approximately 45% of LOC-I accidents are fatal. Previous studies suggest that the leading factors in aviation accidents are human factors-related. One approach to better understand the causes of LOC-I accidents is to analyze accidents using sources such as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) database. However, the NTSB General Aviation accident reports include limited detail on human factors, specifically pilot actions and conditions. We interviewed pilots about their LOC-I …

#Nofilter: How Discovery Filter Teams Breach Privilege Rights And Why They Require Stricter Regulation, Kelly Murray May 2023

#Nofilter: How Discovery Filter Teams Breach Privilege Rights And Why They Require Stricter Regulation, Kelly Murray

Global Business Law Review

This note examines the Supreme Court’s substantial need to weigh in on how filter teams should be used given current circuit splits and identifies several best practices to remedy the issues they currently present. Part I discusses the principal issues for which filter teams are scrutinized. Namely, numerous district courts hold that filter teams provide the government with the unfair advantage of determining which materials from their opposing counsel are privileged. This often leads to an overly broad inclusion of privileged documents, which can violate defendants’ Sixth Amendment rights to a fair and complete trial. Some courts even go so …

Nasa Human Factors Red Light/Green Light Analysis: Overview And Spacshiptwo Rl/Gl Case Study, Tracy Dillinger, Isabel Hernandez May 2023

Nasa Human Factors Red Light/Green Light Analysis: Overview And Spacshiptwo Rl/Gl Case Study, Tracy Dillinger, Isabel Hernandez

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Historically, learning from accidents and incidents involves identifying errors of commission or omission and “things that go wrong” and how to reduce their recurrence. While well-intentioned, infrequent failures receive more attention than everyday successes. Human Factors analysis need not limit itself to learning from failures. Learning from “what goes right” involves identifying resilience factors associated with behaviors and processes that strengthen the system and reduce risk. This article provides an overview of how the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Human Factors Task Force (HFTF) constructed the NASAHFACS model and the Red Light/Green Light approach. Using SpaceShipTwo as a case …

Analyses Of The Boeing 737max Accidents: Formal Models And Psychological Perspectives, Immanuel Barshi, Asaf Degani, Robert Mauro, Randal J. Mumaw May 2023

Analyses Of The Boeing 737max Accidents: Formal Models And Psychological Perspectives, Immanuel Barshi, Asaf Degani, Robert Mauro, Randal J. Mumaw

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Two fatal accidents involving the B737MAX resulted from the flight crews’ inability to overcome the effects of the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). MCAS was designed to mimic the control column feel pressure and pitching behavior of the B737NG, which was the certification basis for the B737MAX. We briefly describe the potential role of formally modeling different perspectives during system design, and how such modeling can reveal gaps and conflicts between perspectives. We also discuss some of the relevant human factors issues involved in these accidents and how the aircraft’s behavior may have affected the pilots’ psychological states. Implications for …

Uas Voice Communications Intelligibility Testing, Alex Konkel May 2023

Uas Voice Communications Intelligibility Testing, Alex Konkel

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations are increasing rapidly. UAS would like to operate similarly to current aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS), including communicating with air traffic control and possibly each other. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is evaluating a potential voice communications system that would allow this to see if the system’s latency and voice intelligibility are sufficient to meet FAA requirements. This paper describes the results of the first phase of voice intelligibility testing. Participants completed two tests, a Message Completion Test developed by the Human Factors Branch and the Modified Rhyme Test, with the audio being …

Large-Scale And Meso-Scale Ion Dynamics Of The Near-Earth Space Environment, Matthew Cooper May 2023

Large-Scale And Meso-Scale Ion Dynamics Of The Near-Earth Space Environment, Matthew Cooper

Dissertations

The mechanisms whereby low energy (order of lOs to 100s of eV) solar wind and ionosphere sourced particles are accelerated to high energy (order of 10s to 100s keV) in the Earth's magnetosphere are a trending research topic due to impacts on radiation belt populations, coupling to the high-latitude ionosphere, and energy budgets for collision-less plasma in dipole fields. Ultra-low frequency (ULF, order of 1-100 mHz) Alfven waves observed in the nightside inner magnetosphere during geomagnetic activity are one such acceleration mechanism. Several source processes for these waves, including the micro-scale drift-mirror mode, have been previously suggested but observational evidence …

Airport Personnel Perceptions Of Airport Environmental Programs, Navya Nikhita Agasam, Deborah S. Carstens May 2023

Airport Personnel Perceptions Of Airport Environmental Programs, Navya Nikhita Agasam, Deborah S. Carstens

International Symposium on Aviation Psychology - 2023

Aviation is a rapidly growing industry that is believed to account for 25% of the carbon footprint by 2050 (Graver et al., 2019, as cited in Alfaro, V.N. & Chankov, S., 2022). Countries are making environmentally friendly changes to save the earth. Humans are the think tanks of any process. Airport personnel should consider implementing these changes. By considering the complex and dynamic nature of human beings, this study uses a survey approach to understand the attitudes and behavior of airport personnel in the transition towards airport environmental programs. The study focuses on factors influencing human behavior and their willingness …

Making Space In The Cemetery: Encroachment And Expansion In Manila North Cemetery, Philippines, Carl Russel R. Reyes May 2023

Making Space In The Cemetery: Encroachment And Expansion In Manila North Cemetery, Philippines, Carl Russel R. Reyes

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Although the cemetery is considered as an enclosed space with limited potential for expansion, dwelling has occurred in the Manila North Cemetery (MNC) for decades. This paper examines how its dwellers secure access and sustain life in the cemetery, despite periodic clearing operations by the government and other pressures. The persistence of cemetery dwellers despite these challenges demonstrates Bayat’s (2010) “quiet encroachment of the ordinary,” this protracted intrusion of the poor in the city. Three aspects of “quiet encroachment” proved crucial in sustaining cemetery life: First, the occupation of caretaking embedded dwellers in the space’s operation. This allowed negotiations between …

Rethinking International Collaboration: Philippines-Japan Cultural Exchange During The Covid-19 Crisis, Szusza Velasco May 2023

Rethinking International Collaboration: Philippines-Japan Cultural Exchange During The Covid-19 Crisis, Szusza Velasco

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

This study aims to rethink international collaboration between the Philippines and Japan by looking into emergent cultural exchange approaches, policy frameworks on cultural diplomacy, and current scholarship on cultural exchange. It examines and compares Philippines-Japan cultural exchange activities organized and supported by the Japan Foundation from 2018 to 2019 and the early years of international COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 to 2021. The study also features reflexive insights from three female art practitioners in the Philippines who engaged in intercultural exchange with Japanese counterparts during the pandemic. Findings generally indicate that exchanges continued to be prolific during the pandemic, but primary …

Book Review On Saints Of Resistance: Devotions In The Philippines Under Early Spanish Rule By Christina H. Lee, Quezon City: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2023., Jeremy Gerald F. Clemente May 2023

Book Review On Saints Of Resistance: Devotions In The Philippines Under Early Spanish Rule By Christina H. Lee, Quezon City: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2023., Jeremy Gerald F. Clemente

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Excerpt: As a predominantly Catholic country, the images of saints have become a ubiquitous aspect in Philippine society. Religious icons are found almost everywhere. While they are commonly found in churches, chapels, and small dedicated spaces in one’s home, it is not impossible to find them in unorthodox spaces such as street corners and public transportation (e.g., jeepneys, taxis, and pedicabs). Despite the universality of religious icons and the intense fidelity it draws among the country’s Catholic faithful, very little has been written regarding their origins and the people behind its devotion. It is under this context that one can …

Moral Panics And Politicians Who Create Them: A Comparative Historical Analysis Of The Crack-Cocaine And Methamphetamine Epidemics In The United States, Sasha Nicole Burdsal May 2023

Moral Panics And Politicians Who Create Them: A Comparative Historical Analysis Of The Crack-Cocaine And Methamphetamine Epidemics In The United States, Sasha Nicole Burdsal

Student Theses and Dissertations

This study compares two widely known drug epidemics: the crack-cocaine epidemic and the methamphetamine epidemic that has shifted our criminal justice system and societies within the last 40 years. The research is conducted utilizing a qualitative content analysis, with a concentration on the rhetoric of politicians who create a moral panic around any specific drug when beneficial to them. Racial disparity demonstrated through inconsistent sentencing and mistreatment of individuals is investigated, along with the militarization of police as ordered by government officials. The War on Drugs – a war that can never be won – is thoroughly reviewed to elucidate …

What You Don’T Know Matters: An Ignorance-Focused Investigation Of Theory Of Mind, Steven M. Shin, Jonathan S. Phillips May 2023

What You Don’T Know Matters: An Ignorance-Focused Investigation Of Theory Of Mind, Steven M. Shin, Jonathan S. Phillips

Cognitive Science Senior Theses

This project examines the ways in which knowledge, or ignorance, impact healthy adults’ theory of mind (i.e. their considerations of others’ mental states). In a pilot study, and four experiments, an effect is found which supports the hypothesis that knowledge states influence the execution of theory of mind. The present findings suggest that attention is directed differently when participants reason from positions of knowledge, or positions of ignorance, in regard to a task-relevant fact. This project provides a starting point for further research, investigating the rich contextual contributions to the fluent functioning of the ‘theory of mind system.’

Marginal To Whom? Reflections On Gow’S "Purús Song", Magnus Course May 2023

Marginal To Whom? Reflections On Gow’S "Purús Song", Magnus Course

Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America

This paper constitutes a personal exploration of the impact of the work of Peter Gow on my own attempts to think through specific ethnographic problems, both in the Mapuche communities of Southern Chile and the Gaelic communities of Western Scotland. I focus in particular on how Gow’s lesser-known essay “Purús Song” inverts received wisdom about the relationships between center and periphery, and between nation-state and Indigenous people. I see this as one iteration of Gow’s broader aim of letting ethnographic realities transform theoretical complacencies.

The Equal Rights Amendment And The Equality Act: Closing Gaps Post-Bostock For Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity Minorities, Sarah Blazucki May 2023

The Equal Rights Amendment And The Equality Act: Closing Gaps Post-Bostock For Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity Minorities, Sarah Blazucki

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

In 2020, the Supreme Court held in Bostock v. Clayton County that the “because of sex” protection in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) included an individual’s “homosexual and transgender status.”1 This landmark decision expanded employment protections under the law, for the first time providing broad federal protections to sexual orientation and gender identity minorities.2 It was a sweeping decision, granting protections to millions of people.3 Yet many worry the protections are incomplete, for several reasons. First, the Court explicitly used the language “homosexual and transgender,”4 potentially leaving unresolved if other minority sexual orientations and …
