Housing Initiatives to Address Strep A Infections and Reduce RHD Risks in Remote Indigenous Communities in Australia.

Group A Streptococcus (Strep A) skin infections (impetigo) can contribute to the development of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD). This is of particular concern for Indigenous residents of remote communities, where rates of ARF and RHD are much higher than their urban and non-Indigenous counterparts. There are three main potential Strep A transmission pathways: skin to skin, surface to skin, and transmission through the air (via droplets or aerosols). Despite a lack of scientific certainty, the physical environment may be modified to prevent Strep A transmission through environmental health initiatives in the home, identifying a strong role for housing. This research sought to provide an outline of identified household-level environmental health initiatives to reduce or interrupt Strep A transmission along each of these pathways. The identified initiatives addressed the ability to wash bodies and clothes, to increase social distancing through improving the livability of yard spaces, and to increase ventilation in the home. To assist with future pilots and evaluation, an interactive costing tool was developed against each of these initiatives. If introduced and evaluated to be effective, the environmental health initiatives are likely to also interrupt other hygiene-related infections.

The Impact of Various Cockpit Display Interfaces on Novice Pilots' Mental Workload and Situational Awareness: A Comparative Study.

Future airspace is expected to become more congested with additional in-service cargo and commercial flights. Pilots will face additional burdens in such an environment, given the increasing number of factors that they must simultaneously consider while completing their work activities. Therefore, care and attention must be paid to the mental workload (MWL) experienced by operating pilots. If left unaddressed, a state of mental overload could affect the pilot's ability to complete his or her work activities in a safe and correct manner. This study examines the impact of two different cockpit display interfaces (CDIs), the Steam Gauge panel and the G1000 Glass panel, on novice pilots' MWL and situational awareness (SA) in a flight simulator-based setting. A combination of objective (EEG and HRV) and subjective (NASA-TLX) assessments is used to assess novice pilots' cognitive states during this study. Our results indicate that the gauge design of the CDI affects novice pilots' SA and MWL, with the G1000 Glass panel being more effective in reducing the MWL and improving SA compared with the Steam Gauge panel. The results of this study have implications for the design of future flight deck interfaces and the training of future pilots.

Assessment of World’s First Two Polymer Injectivity Tests Performed in Two Giant High-Temperature/High-Salinity Carbonate Reservoirs Using Single-Well Simulation Models and Pressure Falloff Tests Analysis

Summary Polymer flooding is a mature enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technology that has been widely implemented around the world for more than 60 years. Polymer flooding mostly targets medium- to high-permeability sandstone reservoirs with moderate salinity, hardness, and temperatures. However, in the last few years, the envelope of polymer flooding has been expanded to harsher reservoir conditions of high-temperature and high-salinity mixed-wet to oil-wet heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs. Development of novel polymers and innovative field application concepts has allowed for the reconsideration of polymer-based EOR as a promising technology to improve sweep efficiency for these challenging reservoirs. Polymer injectivity is one of the key challenges for polymer flooding projects and requires a rigorous derisking program that includes laboratory and field testing. A comprehensive laboratory program was designed to assess and investigate polymer thermal stability, polymer rheology in porous media, adsorption, and injectivity using reservoir core samples. In addition, two polymer injectivity tests (PITs) were performed in two giant light oil (0.3 cp) carbonate reservoirs in onshore Abu Dhabi under harsh conditions of high salinity (>200 g/L), high divalent ions (>20 g/L), high temperature (>250°F), and H2S concentration of up to 40 ppm. The polymer used during the two PITs (PIT 1 2019 and PIT 2 2021) is a new generation of EOR polymer (SAV 10) with high 2-acrylamido-tertiary-butyl sulfonic acid content that was specifically developed to tolerate such harsh conditions. This paper is focused on the interpretation of the PITs and lessons learned for future polymer-based EOR projects. The detailed data acquired in both tests were used to evaluate the polymer injectivity at representative field conditions and in-depth mobility reduction. The PITs together with the extensive laboratory studies are part of a thorough derisking program for the upcoming world’s first innovative hybrid EOR multiwell pilots—simultaneous injection of miscible gas and polymer (SIMGAP) and simultaneous injection of water and polymer (SIWAP). Both PITs are composed of three stages that include a multirate waterflood baseline, polymer injection using different rates, and polymer concentrations followed by extended chase waterflooding. In addition, a sequence of multiple pressure falloff (PFO) tests was acquired during the PIT executions and analyzed to obtain the required uncertainty parameters for the history-matching exercise. Polymer preshearing was considered as part of both PIT programs with the aim to homogenize the polymer molecular weight distribution and reduce possible shear-thickening effects near the wellbore as per laboratory measurements. Two single-well 3D simulation models were built to incorporate the information from polymer laboratory studies and to interpret the large field data sets acquired during the PITs. Lessons learned from PIT 1 allowed us to optimize the PIT 2 design program and achieve better understanding of polymer characteristics. The interpretation of the pressure transient analysis (PTA) of the PFO tests and the 3D simulation models of the two PITs confirmed the generation of polymer banks and demonstrated effective propagation of the polymer into the reservoirs at target concentrations and representative rates of the future SIWAP and SIMGAP interwell pilots.

The development of a conceptual maritime training and assessment framework for Malaysian maritime pilots using the knowledge, skills, and abilities approach

ABSTRACT The Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) Theory explains that knowledge develops one’s skills, leading to improved abilities. This study hypothesised that the KSA approach could be applied to developing a conceptual training and assessment framework for Malaysian maritime pilots as it could assist in improving the competency of future trainee pilots. This framework’s development was commenced by obtaining maritime pilot training and assessment modules from competent pilotage authorities (CPAs) in Malaysia. The modules were then collated, and items were identified as factors and subfactors of knowledge, skills, and abilities. The Factors, Filtering, and Filtered Elements (FFF) model was utilised to measure maritime KSAs for data collection and filtration purposes. The data collected were then analysed utilising principal component analysis (PCA) and the Pearson correlation test, which involves using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS). In summary, the data obtained from this study’s respondents successfully proved that the KSA approach can be applied to the creation of a maritime pilot training and assessment framework.

An Analysis of Effect of Stress on Self-Efficacy of Flight Trainees in Korea: Using Multiple Regression Analysis

Background: Most lives of modern people are full of stress. Stress management has become the essential element as well as the important part of health care for all. Among them, to student pilots who will have to control all the matters of aircraft and have responsibility for lives of passengers on board in the future, continuous stress is likely to cause problems in improving education quality and skills. Aim: The goal of this study is to identify various stressors of student pilots, to analyze how the stressors affect their self-efficacy and to improve their flight training in the end so that they can become desirable pilots in the future. Methods: In order to understand the effect of stress on self-efficacy of flight trainees, 218 men and 35 women were analyzed for frequency analysis, exploration factors analysis, technical statistics analysis, correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis using SPSS program 21.0. Results: Academic problems, Relationships with friends and Future problems are important factors on self-efficacy of flight trainees. Not only do they make flight trainees stressful, but they also have a negative effect on self-efficacy, potentially resulting in poor flight performance. Conclusion: Stress has had a negative effect on self-efficacy of flight trainees, which may result in the undesirable result of their future. We should try to reduce overall stress of flight trainees and improve their self-efficacy as much as possible. By doing so we can have a better future pilots and safer society. Key Words: Stress, Self-Efficacy, Flight Training, Student Pilot, Multiple Regression

Technique Evaluates Polymer Injectivity in High-Salinity/High-Temperature Carbonates

_ This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 211451, “Assessment of World-First Two-Polymer Injectivity Tests Performed in Two Giant High-Salinity/High-Temperature Carbonate Reservoirs Using Single-Well Simulation Models and Pressure-Falloff Analysis,” by Juan M. Leon, Shehadeh K. Masalmeh, SPE, and Ali M. Al-Sumaiti, SPE, ADNOC, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed. _ The complete paper presents the interpretation of two polymer injectivity tests (PITs) performed in two giant light-oil high-salinity/high-temperature (HS/HT) carbonate reservoirs onshore Abu Dhabi. The detailed data acquired in both tests were used to evaluate both polymer injectivity at representative field conditions and in-depth mobility reduction. The interpretation of the pressure transient analysis (PTA) of the pressure falloffs (PFOs) and the mechanistic 3D simulation models of the two PITs confirmed the generation of polymer banks and demonstrated effective propagation of the polymer into the reservoirs at target concentrations and representative rates of future interwell pilots. Introduction The reservoirs tested in the PITs can be described as heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs divided into upper and lower zones. Upper-zone porosities range between 20 and 30%; permeability ranges from 10 to 1000 md. In contrast, the lower zone has porosities and permeabilities ranging from 10 to 30% and from 1 to 20 md, respectively. The main production mechanisms in the reservoirs are peripheral water injection, middip-pattern water injection, and crestal hydrocarbon gas injection in the gas cap. The reservoirs have been developed through long horizontal wells oriented into the lower zones to allow a more-homogeneous sweep. However, the injected fluids in the lower zone travel quickly through the upper zone not far from the injection wells and around the producers into the lower zone. This water or gas inverse coning results in bypassed oil in the lower zone. To face this challenge, the operator has investigated simultaneous injection of miscible CO2 gas and polymer (SIMGAP) for reservoirs with an approximately 10-fold permeability contrast between the lower and upper zones and simultaneous injection of water and polymer (SIWAP) for reservoirs with a permeability contrast of 100-fold or greater between the lower and upper zones. These techniques rely on reducing mobility by polymer injection in the upper zone to provide a pressure barrier and reduce crossflow of the higher-mobility fluid injected into the lower zone. PIT Simulation Model Setup A single-well radial simulation model was built for PIT 1 to assess near-wellbore phenomena by minimizing in-situ velocity and shear-rate calculation errors compared with Cartesian coordinate grids. For interpretation of PIT 2, a mechanistic Cartesian 3D thermal black-oil simulation model was built by extracting a subsector from the last available static geomodel, preserving well architecture and grid resolution in the extracted subsector. The radial simulation model was found unsuitable for PIT 2 because the injector well presented a very high deviated section in the target reservoir, while the long string presented a long horizontal section. Therefore, the polymer injectivity and polymer bank propagation in the upper reservoir might not be represented properly using a vertical well. Different local-grid-refinement (LGR) levels were implemented around the perforation length (upper zone), while the lower zone was in the root grid. The minimum cell radius in the model was determined to be 1.3 ft to avoid errors in well-index calculations considering the well-flow model. Thus, three LGR levels were applied.

Sharing the Sidewalk: Observing Delivery Robot Interactions with Pedestrians during a Pilot in Pittsburgh, PA

Sidewalk delivery robots are being deployed as a form of last-mile delivery. While many such robots have been deployed on college campuses, fewer have been piloted on public sidewalks. Furthermore, there have been few observational studies of robots and their interactions with pedestrians. To better understand how sidewalk robots might integrate into public spaces, the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania conducted a pilot of sidewalk delivery robots to understand possible uses and the challenges that could arise in interacting with people in the city. Our team conducted ethnographic observations and intercept interviews to understand how residents perceived of and interacted with sidewalk delivery robots over the course of the public pilot. We found that people with limited knowledge about the robots crafted stories about their purpose and function. We observed the robots causing distractions and obstructions with different sidewalk users (including children and dogs), witnessed people helping immobilized robots, and learned about potential accessibility issues that the robots may pose. Based on our findings, we contribute a set of recommendations for future pilots, as well as questions to guide future design for robots in public spaces.

Urban Consolidation Centers – Insights from a Design Thinking perspective

The logistics system in urban environments is already stressed and freight forwarders are forced to meet customers' increased expectations for speed and flexibility in deploying an increasing number of vehicles with smaller load capacity which increases congestion. Several projects have been undertaken in recent decades to address urban logistics issues, and various types of urban consolidation centers (UCC) have been introduced and tested. Most of them indicate that there is both an economic as well as an ecological upside to these systems. However very few of these projects have survived after the public funding has ended. The aim of this investigation was to identify insights and recommendations for future UCC pilots using Design Thinking as a process to investigate multi-stakeholder perspectives.

ПЕДАГОГИЧЕСКАЯ ПРОБЛЕМА ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ЦЕННОСТНО-НРАВСТВЕННОЙ СФЕРЫ БУДУЩИХ ЛЕТЧИКОВ В ВОЕННОМ ВУЗЕ

The article deals with the problem of future pilots’ value and moral sphere formation in the educational process of a higher military school, which reflects in the contradictions of conceptual, organizational and methodical levels. This phenomenon is considered as a multi-component system of integrative dialectically interdependent qualities that ensure the internalization of the value-moral postulates of the state into internal attitudes and personal beliefs, self-building of the individual based on the traditions of Russian officers and historical knowledge about the exploits of Russian pilots in the Great Patriotic War and today’s local wars, the presence of internal value-moral “scales” that determine the choice of hero’s act, their readiness for self-sacrifice, awareness of themselves as “I am an officer of Russia”. The article examines the value education and the correspondence of the views of researchers regarding the instillation of values in the aspect of a military educational institution. Attention is focused on the partial possibility of adapting some concepts of value education and this approach is argued in the formation of future career officers. The aspects of moral education are determined and the components of the officer’s moral qualities, which are of a separate nature, are given. The attention is focused on pedagogical problems that are associated with the formation of the personality of the future officer and the adaptation of moral aspects on specific historical examples. The argumentation of the importance of the personality of the teacher, who must have all the characteristics and qualities of an officer, is given. The article considers the discrepancy between the professional training of career officers and the achievement of the desired value and moral qualities in the process of educational work in the aspect of the distribution of profile training over time. The necessity and expediency of restoring the principle of continuity when entering military universities after military educational organizations is argued based on value and moral considerations. As an alternative, the formation of an educational system is proposed, which at the initial stage could create conditions for bringing the value and moral qualities of cadets to the basic level. The importance of developing and implementing a unified educational system, which contains general and applied components, is determined. On the example of Krasnodar Higher Military School of pilots named after Hero of the Soviet Union A.K. Serov the expediency of using the accumulated experience for the implementation of such a unified educational system and the formation of future career officers who differ not only in basic values and moral qualities, but also moral qualities in accordance with the branch of the armed forces.

Lessons Learned from Multi-Institutional Medical Physics Animated Video Production

Background Medical physics education is a vital part of radiation oncology (RO) residency. However, its instruction is heterogenous across training programs. We present the results of a pilot series of high-yield videos, with special focus on lessons learned for future educational pilots. Methods The ASTRO Core Curriculum was used to choose 4 high-yield topics to cover in 5-10 minute animated videos. Scripting was done by ROs, reviewed by medical physicists, and graphics created by university broadcasting specialist; there were 8 active team members. Participants were recruited through social media and AROPC emails over the course of 1 month with aim of 80 participants. Demographic information was collected for each participant and the surveys were sent to eligible registrants sequentially, such that video 2 would be sent once survey assessment of video 1 was complete. Video evaluation was developed based off validated technology acceptance model (TAM) questionnaires composed of a series of Likert style questions. Results Creation of the four pilot videos took 7 months, with multiple iterations of scripting and storyboarding. Video cost was estimated to have been nearly 10x the quoted and agreed upon fee due to significant time needed to communicate graphic designer regarding complexities of radiation physics. Ultimately, 169 unique participants enrolled in the pilot from across the country which was 211% of the targeted cohort size. Of this cohort, 108 initiated the series and 85 completed the pilot resulting in a 78% completion rate. Videos were watched for a median duration of 6:38 out of ∼10 minutes. All participants reported the use of graphic animation improved understanding across all videos. 93% agreed with a need for additional resources geared specifically towards RO and 100% would recommend these videos to other residents. Discussion The Hi-Phy pilot series was a successful in developing videos that were effective in teaching RO physics concepts. As RO residents report a need for free and high quality standardized educational resources, it is important to learn from this experience.
