Applying Lessons from Safety-II Proof of Concept in Line Operational Safety Audit to Aviation Maintenance

Maintenance safety culture is a topic that continues to arise. There is much information in many different literature sources that discusses measuring, analyzing, and scrutinizing data to determine if a safety culture exists in an organization and how to improve it. Currently, aviation maintenance personnel are surveyed for their opinions on how safe their culture is. However, this may not be an adequate reflection of the safety culture or help maintenance personnel conduct their jobs. Typically, they are operating in an environment that has a central determination of what safety culture is. Other programs in other fields have attempted a decentralization of control to guide employees to adapt to variation in the environment and safely achieve their job requirements. A proof of concept is being tried in the commercial airline industry with university support. The results could be expanded beyond the flight deck and into aviation maintenance with further research into how Safety-II has been successfully applied to other industries.

Innovative strategies for cultural programmes in the age of fusion media--The Reader as an example

Nowadays, due to the ongoing advancement of Internet technology and the advent of numerous new media, cultural programmes have also quickly changed and innovated. "The Reader," a cultural programme that emphasizes reading and sharing, has drawn a wide following thanks to its slogans "content is king" and "ordinary people." However, as new media technology advances, audiences have new demands for traditional and new media development due to the influence of traditional culture and the requirement for programmes in traditional cultural fields to be transformed, improved, and innovated. The Reader is used as an example in this study to analyze how to create a programme and how to develop interactively with self-media in a multi-media environment. Its future development path is also discussed.

ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНО-ОРИЕНТИРОВАННЫЙ ПОДХОД К ИЗУЧЕНИЮ ИНОСТРАННОГО ЯЗЫКА БАКАЛАВРАМИ НЕЯЗЫКОВЫХ ФАКУЛЬТЕТОВ

. The article is devoted to the necessity for students of non-linguistic faculties to learn a foreign language in order to use it in their professional life. Knowledge of languages is required in order to be aware of the latest inventions and discoveries, to be able to communicate with professionals from different countries, to share their experience. Language is a means of communication in professional life, that is why every university trains a versatile specialist with a high level of linguistic functionality. The professionally-oriented approach (English for Specific Purpose (ESP) is applied in practical classes in accordance with the state educational standard, stating that it is required «to carry out business communication in oral and written forms in the state language of the Russian Federation and a foreign language(s)» (CC-4). The bachelor's program in a non-linguistic field assumes the ability of students to speak a foreign language fluently while performing their professional tasks, which explains the need for a special approach in teaching a foreign language. The authors conducted a survey of students, the purpose of which was to study the role that students assign to a foreign language in their professional life. The questions were grouped in three blocks: general research — questions focused on determining the social portrait of a student, applied — questions aimed at directly determining the role of a foreign language in a student's life at the moment and in further professional activity, and practical — questions about information resources that students use when learning English independently. Based on the data obtained, the professionally-oriented approach is assessed as a necessary aspect of meeting the linguistic needs of students at nonlinguistic faculties

“Making” the contemporary and next-generation journalist, through data journalism: The need for emerging curriculum in journalism education in India - A primary proposal

Like any other profession, the media and communication domains are also majorly robust with the advent of computers and information communication technologies. In the recent past, the concept of data journalism struck the chords of major news media houses across the globe. Data journalism is an evolving form of storytelling, where journalist works with data, data analytics software, and visualize data to narrate their news stories. In India, over the years, many academic institutions started offering certificate, diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programmes in journalism and communication-related fields. Currently, academic curricula and journalism education are strengthened with conventional journalism theories and practices. Due to the arrival of data journalism, modern tools, and techniques, journalism pedagogy faces a relatively large knowledge gap. This research article is an outcome of exploratory research that examined 155 academic institutions by scrutinizing the communication curriculum offered across India and suggests the need-based syllabi in consultation with academic and industrial experts, which entails data journalism as an empowering element for the current and next-generation journalists.

Российское религиоведение в цифровую эпоху

The article is devoted to the analysis and assessment of the modern state of Rus­sian religious studies as a research field, scientific discipline and educational program of higher education in the context of digital transformations of culture and society. The ways of reaction of the religious studies community to the re­thinking of the principles of rationality and the production of scientific knowl­edge are described. The issues of the autonomy of religious studies in relation to other socio-humanitarian disciplines are discussed, it is stated that in the Russian context, it is possible to talk about disciplinary unity only in the educational sphere. The features of the current educational standards in religious studies are considered, the change in the number of budget places, including, in comparison with the direction of “Theology”, a significant reduction in the number of gradu­ating universities is recorded. The problems of professional orientations of reli­gious scholars and the expansion of career trajectories are discussed. Promising areas of religious studies are outlined: cognitive approaches, an appeal to envi­ronmental and bioethical problems. The authors justified the relevance of the de­velopment of the field of mediology of religion as a religious studies analysis of the processes of mediatization of religious ideas and practices in a changing me­dia sphere.

Evaluation of the Rate of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Basketball Players and Appropriate Training Patterns to Prevent Non-contact Injury

Background and Aims The most essential and common sports injury in the lower limb in many sports fields is the injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Knowledge in this field and appropriate exercise programs can help prevent this injury for all athletes and coaches. The present research aims to investigate the prevalence of this injury in different sports fields and the results of various training programs in reducing the risk of injury to ACL. Methods The current review was conducted using international information resources, Scopus, Taylor and Francis, ProQuest, Emerald Insight, ScienceDirect, Springer, Web of knowledge, and internal information resources including Magiran, Civilica, SID, and Iran Medex were applied. The research date range was defined between 2000 to 2020. In international articles, keywords such as Single-leg Landing, Landing, Injury, Knee injury, Drop-landing, Training, Exercise, ACL, and in domestic papers, keywords such as ACL, Knee Injury, Single-leg Landing, Jump, Land, and Training program were considered. According to the exclusion criteria, only 42 articles were selected and examined out of 220. Results Women with this injury are more affected at all skill levels, so at the professional skill level, women were affected up to 5 times more than men, and at the amateur level, the infection rate is about 3 to 4 times higher. The highest incidence is related to women professional basketball players with a speed of 5.5 per 1000 athletes training, and the lowest is among amateur male athletes with a rate of 0.02 with the same criteria. Of the articles reviewed in the appropriate injury prevention training program, 32% examined the effect of neuromuscular training, 18% combined training, 26% strength training, and 24% central core stability training. With 80% effectiveness, core stability training seems to be the most effective injury prevention program. Conclusion Considering the rate of this injury and the impact of this injury on treatment costs, the duration of returning to exercise, and creating the ground for other injuries, a comprehensive review of exercises effective in preventing this injury for athletes and coaches it’s important. This is especially important for professional female basketball players due to the incidence rate. The central core stability training program had the most practical effect among the training programs. The combined training program had the least impact according to different criteria for assessing and preventing injury.

Search for Hα Emitters at z ∼ 7.8: A Constraint on the Hα-based Star Formation Rate Density

Abstract We search for Hα emitters at z ∼ 7.8 in four gravitationally lensed fields observed in the Hubble Frontier Fields program. We use the Lyman break method to select galaxies at the target redshift and perform photometry in the Spitzer/IRAC 5.8 μm band to detect Hα emission from the candidate galaxies. We find no significant detections of counterparts in the IRAC 5.8 μm band, and this gives a constraint on the Hα luminosity function (LF) at z ∼ 7.8. We compare the constraint with previous studies based on rest-frame UV and far-infrared observations using the correlation between the Hα luminosity and the star formation rate. Additionally, we convert the constraint on the Hα LF into an upper limit for the star formation rate density (SFRD) at this epoch assuming the shape of the LF. We examine two types of parameterization of the LF and obtain an upper limit for the SFRD of log 10 ( ρ SFR [ M ⊙ yr − 1 Mpc − 3 ] ) ≲ − 1.1 at z ∼ 7.8. With this constraint on the SFRD, we present an independent probe into the total star formation activity including dust-obscured and unobscured star formation at the Epoch of Reionization.

Characterizing groundwater flow paths in an undeveloped region through synoptic river sampling for environmental tracers

AbstractSynoptic sampling of three rivers for a suite of environmental tracers is shown to be an efficient way to gain an understanding of groundwater flow paths for a previously unstudied large area in Alberta, Canada. For regional‐scale characterization, classical hydrogeological techniques are limited by the location and number of groundwater wells. This study demonstrates that rivers can become an easily accessible location to sample the distribution of groundwater flow paths discharging to surface water. Modelling of groundwater discharge to the rivers and groundwater mean age helps generate knowledge of groundwater circulation for a large area, which is useful for conceptual model development and focusing future characterization efforts. Results indicate that the benchland areas in this region, with higher topographic relief, had hydrogeological conditions that favoured deeper groundwater circulation with a modelled mean age greater than 100 years from recharge to discharge. Lower relief areas, which coincide with a transition in bedrock formations in this region, appeared to have much shorter and shallower groundwater circulation. The approach required a field program completed in 5 days and financial budget approximately equivalent to drilling a single borehole and installing a monitoring well. It is concluded that under the right conditions, where few classical observation points exist and knowledge is limited, synoptic sampling of rivers can be used to develop scientifically defensible conceptual models at a comparable scale to regional planning and resource management.

Epidemiological scenario of leprosy in marginalized communities of India: Focus on scheduled tribes.

The Scheduled Tribes (STs) are designated among the most disadvantaged social groups in India. Until the year 2005 (pre-elimination era of leprosy in India), several leprosy-specific control field programmes were implemented, which have been discontinued subsequently. Since then, leprosy diagnosis and treatment have been integrated with General Health Services. Thereafter, specialized expertise for the early diagnosis of leprosy has been gradually diminishing, especially at the peripheral clinics in remote areas. Hence, leprosy cases usually remain undetected for a long time and persist as endemic reservoirs. The tribal population of India accounts for just 8.6 per cent of the overall population. However, 18.5 per cent of the new leprosy cases were detected within the tribal community in the year 2020, indicating a disproportionately high burden of leprosy among the tribal population. Recent data suggest that these health disparities can be mainly related to the increased marginalization of STs as compared to other communities. This shows the need to further explore the current situation of leprosy in STs so that suitable interventions can address the contributing factors, leading to health inequalities in disadvantaged socio-economic groups. Therefore, this review aims to present the current distribution of leprosy in marginalized communities with a special emphasis on STs. Further, this review discusses how resources might be mobilized for such communities to find and treat undetected leprosy patients in STs to enable effective control of leprosy through early detection and timely treatment.

METHODOLOGY OF WRITING SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES BY STUDENTS OF HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL INSTITUTIONS

Nowadays the urgent problem of education is the training of high-level specialists. To solve this problem, modern HEIs not only implement an educational program in a particular field of knowledge and specialty, but also offer students to engage in scientific research.
 Research activity is characterized as a type of intellectual activity aimed at developing the creative potential of the learner. It is an opportunity for self-development and self-realization in professional activities. As a rule, one of the main results of a researcher's scientific work is a qualifying thesis. Still, intermediate or final results can be presented in the form of scientific articles published in professional journals.
 Provided that the institutions of higher education train highly qualified pedagogical specialists, the methodology of preparation and writing of scientific articles has its own specifics. It has to meet all the requirements for research articles at the legislative level.
 The stages of writing an academic article are well-known, but, depending on the issue of the scientific research, it can be pedagogical or professional direction. In the case when the article is pedagogical, the main emphasis is on the peculiarities of integration into the educational process of the latest technologies and methods. If the article has a proessional focus, it provides a description of the results of the implementation of a particular educational methodology or technology during its study in a particular discipline.
 The results of researche can be accumulated and considered in various aspects and presented in the form of scientific articles. This knowledge will allow the future teachers not only to obtain the appropriate level of education while studying at the institute, but also will create the basis for acquiring scientific knowledge and self-realization in further scientific work.

Best Management Practices to Delay the Evolution of Bt Resistance in Lepidopteran Pests Without High Susceptibility to Bt Toxins in North America.

Canadian and United States (US) insect resistance management (IRM) programs for lepidopteran pests in Bacillus thuriengiensis (Bt)-expressing crops are optimally designed for Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner in corn (Zea mays L.) and Chloridea virescens Fabricius in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Both Bt corn and cotton express a high dose for these pests; however, there are many other target pests for which Bt crops do not express high doses (commonly referred to as nonhigh dose pests). Two important lepidopteran nonhigh dose (low susceptibility) pests are Helicoverpa zea Boddie (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Striacosta albicosta Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). We highlight both pests as cautionary examples of exposure to nonhigh dose levels of Bt toxins when the IRM plan was not followed. Moreover, IRM practices to delay Bt resistance that are designed for these two ecologically challenging and important pests should apply to species that are more susceptible to Bt toxins. The purpose of this article is to propose five best management practices to delay the evolution of Bt resistance in lepidopteran pests with low susceptibility to Bt toxins in Canada and the US: 1) better understand resistance potential before commercialization, 2) strengthen IRM based on regional pest pressure by restricting Bt usage where it is of little benefit, 3) require and incentivize planting of structured corn refuge everywhere for single toxin cultivars and in the southern US for pyramids, 4) integrate field and laboratory resistance monitoring programs, and 5) effectively use unexpected injury thresholds.

Systematic realization of a fully connected deep and convolutional neural network architecture on a field programmable gate array

A detailed methodology for implementing a fully connected (FC) deep neural network (DNN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) inference system on a field programming gate array (FPGA) is presented. Minimal computational units are used for the DNN. For the CNN, systolic array (SA) architecture endowed with parallel processing potential is utilized. Algorithmic analysis determines the optimum memory requirement for the fixed point trained parameters. The size of the trained parameters and the available memory on the target FPGA device govern the choice of on-chip memory to utilize. Experimental results indicate that the choice of block over distributed memory saves ≈62% look-up-tables (LUTs) for the DNN ([784-512-512-10]), and the choice of distributed over block memory saves ≈30% block random access memory (BRAM) for the LeNet-5 CNN unit. This study provides insights for developing FPGA-based digital systems for applications requiring DNN and CNN.

PHENOMEN OF THE SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS MISSED OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS OF THE XXth CENTURY

The phenomenon of missed opportunities in the course of two scientific revolutions in fundamental physics is investigated: in the quantum relativistic revolution of the first third of the 20th century and in the gauge revolution that led to the creation of a standard model in elementary particle physics (1954-1974). Two cases of missed opportunities related to H. Poincare and his role in the history of the creation of the special theory of relativity are examined on the material of the first revolution. Two other cases of missed opportunities concerning A. Einstein in connection with the theory of the expanding Universe and with failed attempts to build a unified field theory based on a geometric field program are also considered. It is shown that in these cases epistemological and metaphysical outlooks of scientists were in many respects the causes of the «omissions». We mean the conventionalism of Poincare, as well as Einstein’s belief in the stationarity of the Universe and in the incredible power of mathematics as the only creative beginning in the construction of the physical theories. Two similar plots are explored on the material of the second revolution. The first story refers to the Young-Mills’ concept of the gauge fields, which played a key role in the creation of standard model. Several theorists came very close to this concept and, above all, V. Pauli, who for various reasons did not make a decisive step and missed opportunities to associate their names with the theory of gauge fields. Pauli believed that, despite its theoretical attraction, it could not overcome experimentally - empirical difficulties. The second story is related to the quantum field program being rejected in 1950-1960s by most theorists in favor of the phenomenological S-matrix program. As a result, many theorists have missed their opportunities to contribute to the creation of a standard model. And this “omission” was partly motivated by the positivist thesis that in theory only fundamentally observable values should appear. It is emphasized also that the phenomenon of missed opportunities opens the way for the study of the problem of alternative history of science.

PENGUATAN MEMBACA KITAB KUNING MENGGUNAKAN METODE BITHAQATIL JUMAL PADA PESANTREN MU’ALLIMIN MUHAMMADIYYAH SAWAH DANGKA KAB. AGAM, SUMATERA BARAT

One of the great traditions in Islamic education institutions in Indonesia is teaching by transmitting Islamic values as found in classical books written centuries ago. The majority in Indonesia, the classic book is better known as the Kitab Kuning. Teaching with the Kitab Kuning is usually done in Islamic Boarding Schools. Examining Kitab Kuning requires qualified Arabic language skills at least passively. Unfortunately, not all Islamic boarding schools that have a variety of superior programs in certain fields, are weak in the field of studying Kitab Kuning. One of them is the Islamic Boarding School Mu'allimin Muhammadiyyah Sawah Dangka which has the flagship Tahfizh Alquran program but is weak in the study of Kitab Kuning. One of the main factors is the lack of adequate quality of human resources. For this reason, this community service activity aims to provide training while introducing new, lightweight methods in learning Arabic, namely the Bihaqatil Jumal method. This method emphasizes learning Arabic using the right brain. After a series of community service activities, teachers and Islamic boarding schools felt helped and gained new experiences in learning Arabic methods to study Kitab Kuning. In addition, both the assisted object and the resource person requested that this kind of community service be continued.

مدى المام مدرسي الفيزياء بأبعاد التنوّر التقني

The goal of the current research is to identify: - research is to identify the extent of the advanced physics teachers of the preparatory stage with the dimensions of technical enlightenment. This goal is achieved by answering the following question: - Does the level of literacy among middle school physics teachers elevate the dimensions of technical enlightenment to the point of sufficiency (80%) on the scale prepared for this purpose? Where the researcher built a scale with the dimensions of technical enlightenment to measure the extent of mastery of physics teachers for the preparatory stage in the light of indicators presented to a group of experts and specialists to achieve the apparent validity of the scale. The test was on an exploratory sample consisting of (60) teachers and one of the middle school teachers, then the researcher applied the scale to the basic research sample consisting of (100) teachers and schools in the second semester of the academic year (2020-2021) AD, who were intentionally chosen From the governorate center schools, the results showed by using the Statistical Bag for Social Sciences (Spss-10) and (Microsoft excel) the following: - The level of proficiency of middle school physics teachers with dimensions of technical enlightenment is less than the level of proficiency (80%) of the total score of the scale of dimensions of technical enlightenment. In light of the results of the research, the researcher came up with recommendations, including: 1- Take advantage of new programs in the field of technologies, the use of computers and the Internet to be modern sources for teachers' culture content. 2- Holding training courses for physics teachers to familiarize them with the dimensions of technical enlightenment. 3- Recommending teachers in general and physics teachers in particular to work on developing themselves by keeping pace with scientific and technical development and thus benefiting their students.

Transformative Learning in Graduate Medical Education: A Scoping Review.

Transformative learning (TL) is an educational theory focused on deep fundamental shifts in an individual's worldview. Such shifts are well known to occur within graduate medical education (GME). However, TL in GME has yet to be formally explored. We performed a scoping review of the literature on TL within GME to identify areas where trainees currently experience or have potential to experience TL, and to explore areas where fostering TL has been used as a pedagogical tool. In January 2020, we searched 7 databases to identify literature on TL in GME. Additional articles were identified by hand-searching the Journal of Graduate Medical Education. A total of 956 articles were identified through database search with 3 unique articles found via hand-searching. Abstracts and manuscripts were screened by 2 authors and disagreements arbitrated by a third, yielding 28 articles for our analysis. The main components of TL (disorienting dilemma, reflection, discourse, action) took various forms. TL was closely linked with professionalism training and professional identity formation. Training programs in primary care fields were most frequently referenced. Often, trainees were experiencing TL without recognition of the theory by their educators. Gaps in the graduate medical education literature exist pertaining to TL in venues such as diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our scoping review uncovered the following themes: TL and professionalism, TL and primary care, and TL by other names. TL is likely occurring but going unrecognized in some settings.

FPGA Design for On‐Board Measurement of Intermittency From In‐Situ Satellite Data

AbstractIntermittency is a fundamental property of space plasma dynamics, characterizing turbulent dynamical variables as well as passive scalars. Its qualitative and quantitative description from in‐situ data requires an accurate estimation of the probability density functions (PDFs) of fluctuations and their moments, particularly the flatness, a normalized fourth order moment of the PDF. Such a statistical description needs a sufficiently large number of samples for the computation to be meaningful. Due to inherent technological limitations (e.g., limited telemetry bandwidth) not all samples collected on‐board can be sent to the ground for further analysis. Therefore, a technology designed to process on‐board the data and to compute the flatness is useful to fully exploit the capabilities of scientific instruments installed on robotic platforms, including nanosatellites. We designed, built, and tested in laboratory such a technology based on Field Programable Gate Arrays (FPGA). The building principle is the classical estimation of PDFs and their moments, based on normalized histograms of a measure. The technical design uses the FloPoCo (Floating‐Point Cores) framework with customized arithmetic operators; the computation block is a pipelined architecture, which computes a new value of the flatness in each clock cycle. The design and implementation achieve optimization directives of the FPGA resources relevant for operation in space, like area, energy efficiency, and precision. The technology was tested in laboratory using Xilinx SRL16 or SRLC32 macros and provides correct results validated with test time series provided by magnetic field data collected in the solar wind by ULYSSES spacecraft. The characteristics and performance of the laboratory prototype pave the way for a space qualified version of the laboratory design.

Occupancy of young-of-year Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) in Barrenland streams

Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) is an iconic fish species that is present across the remote subarctic Barrenlands, yet our lack of understanding of their distributional patterns constrains predictions of anthropogenic effects on Barrenland populations. These adfluvial fish rely on seasonal lake-stream connections to migrate, spawn, and rear. We address knowledge gaps on what Barrenland stream attributes are suitable for rearing young-of-year Arctic grayling. Visual surveys of young-of-year Arctic grayling were conducted in 48 streams near Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Occupancy modeling was used to relate stream habitat and landscape variables to fish presence/absence. The best predictors of occupancy were total area of contributing upstream lakes and landcover (upland/lowland); stream basins with larger contributing upstream lake area and more lowland cover were more likely to be occupied. Results suggest that occupancy reflects reliability of stream connectivity throughout the open water season and across years. The occupancy model developed here can adequately predict stream suitability for young-of-year Arctic grayling using lake area and land classification data that are remotely accessed. This may lessen the considerable financial and logistical constraints of conducting field research on Arctic grayling in the vast Barrenlands and facilitate more directed field programs to inform conservation and mitigation plans.
