Full textAbstract:
The International Association for the Study of Pain, IASP, has long proven that pain and its effects on the child can lead to pathological reactions that lead to behavioral changes in the form of functional and vegetative disorders, emotional responses such as loss of skills, sleep disturbance, or child's irritability, enuresis and others.There are currently a number of pain assessment scales for children of all ages that include many different parameters (cardiovascular and respiratory systems, changes in behavior, autonomic reactions in the form of changes in the function of the eyes, skin color, etc.) using a quantitative estimate to evaluate those signs.In the practice of a pediatrician and a family doctor, it is important to choose from a range of pain scales that are simple and accessible to all healthcare providers and other caregivers.We compared scales that are used most often and are recommended by the medical community. As well as investigating their use in practice, FLACC conducted a study of children with organic lesions of the central nervous system that had episodes of acute pain. Because this scale, in combination with the definition of autonomous regulation parameters, allows you to objectively assess the degree of pain experienced by the patient.KeyWords: рain, pain assessment, pain relief, pain scales, paliative medicine, pediatrics. Особливості застосування шкали оцінки болю в педіатріїГончар М. О., Уриваєва М. К., Кузнецова Д. О., Ткачук Л. М.Міжнародна асоціація з вивчення болю IASP давно довела, що біль та його вплив на дитину можуть призводити до появи патологічних реакцій, які ведуть до змін поведінки у вигляді появи функціональних та вегетативних розладів, емоційних відповідей, таких як втрата навичок, що сформовані, порушення сну або дратівливість дитини, енурез та інші. Доведено, що нездатність до локалізації болю у дітей раннього віку у клініці може мати системну відповідь у вигляді порушення компенсаторних систем, що швидко виснажуються.Наразі існує ціла низка шкал оцінки болю у дітей різного віку, які включають багато різноманітних параметрів (функціонування серцево-судинної та дихальної систем, зміна поведінки дитини, вегетативні реакції у вигляді змін функції очей, кольору шкіри тощо), використовуючи кількісний підрахунок для оцінки тих чи інших ознак.В практиці лікаря-педіатра та сімейного лікаря важливим є вибір з ряду шкал оцінки болю саме тих, що будуть простими й доступними для всіх медичних працівників та інших осіб, що доглядають за дитиною.Ми порівняли шкали, які використовуються найчастіше та рекомендуються медичним суспільством. А також дослідили їх застосування на практиці, за допомогою шкали FLACC провели дослідження дітей з органічними ураженнями центральної нервової системи, що мали епізоди гострого болю. Бо саме ця шкала в поєднанні з визначенням параметрів автономної регуляції, дає змогу найбільш об’єктивно оцінити ступень болю, що відчуває пацієнт.Резюме.

RÉSUMÉCette étude pilote a examiné les changements dans l’activité physique et la fonction chez les personnes âgées se déplaçant de logements communautaires aux maisons de retraite. L’activité physique a été évaluée en utilisant un Actigraph (GT3X +) moniteur d’activité; l’activité physique par type a été rapportée avec le questionnaire CHAMPS de l’activité. La fonction physique a été évaluée en utilisant le Test de Fitness Senior. L’activité physique totale, objectivement contrôlée, a diminué après la transition (p = 0,02). Rapports d’activité physique par type ont indiqué que seules les activités de la vie quotidienne ont diminué (p <0,01), bien que l’exercice intentionnel s’est augmenté (p <0,03) avec la transition. L’endurance et la force sont également améliorés (p <0,05 et p <0,04). Résultats du projet pilote indiquent que des avantages physiques possibles profitent de la vie de la retraite, bien que les efforts visant à réduire le temps sédentaire sont nécessaires.

RÉSUMÉLe but de l’Étude longitudinale canadienne sur le vieillissement (ÉLCV) est de recruter 50 000 participants âgés de 45 à 85 ans et de les suivre pendant 20 ans. Les processus d’échantillonnage et de recrutement pour une étude de cette envergure représentent d’importants défis. Statistique Canada a été approché pour collaborer avec l’ÉLCV dans le but de déterminer si l’Enquête sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes (ESCC) pourrait être utilisée comme véhicule de recrutement pour l’ÉLCV. Dans cette étude pilote réalisée en 2004, il a été déterminé que 63,8 pour cent et 75,8 pour cent des répondants accepteraient de partager leurs coordonnées et leurs réponses à l’ESCC avec l’ÉLCV, respectivement. Les réticences les plus souvent rapportées étaient reliées à la confidentialité, le manque d’intérêt et le niveau d’engagement demandé. Cette étude pilote a permis d’identifier quelques défis reliés à l’utilisation de l’ESCC comme véhicule de recrutement pour l’ÉLCV.

Objectif : La fatigue et les troubles cognitifs qui se manifestent après un cancer sont des effets indésirables qui, souvent, perdurent après les traitements et nuisent à la qualité de vie. L’étude vise à évaluer la faisabilité du neurofeedback et ses effets sur le fonctionnement cognitif et la fatigue des survivants du cancer, particulièrement la faisabilité des stratégies de recrutement, du protocole de recherche et des mesures de résultats. Devis : L’étude pilote de faisabilité est construite selon un devis avec groupe témoin mis sur liste d’attente pendant une période de 10 semaines. Les participantes servaient elles-mêmes de groupe témoin. Elles ont suivi deux séances de neurofeedback par semaine, pendant 10 semaines. Participants : L’échantillon était composé de survivantes du cancer du sein vivant à Kingston, en Ontario (n=16). Méthodologie : Les résultats ont été évalués à l’aide d’échelles d’autoévaluation validées, ainsi que par des tests neurobiologiques avant, pendant et après le traitement par neurofeedback. Résultats : La faisabilité du protocole de neurofeedback a été confirmée : la procédure s’accompagne d’une diminution significative des troubles cognitifs, de la fatigue, des troubles du sommeil et des symptômes psychologiques. Implications pour les services psychosociaux : Le neurofeedback pourrait se poser en thérapie complémentaire efficace et non invasive pour traiter les troubles cognitifs qui surviennent chez les survivantes du cancer du sein après les traitements.

RÉSUMÉLes procédures diagnostiques cliniques standards sont souvent inappropriées et fréquemment non applicables dans des études basées sur la population; pourtant, vérifier le statut précis d’une maladie est essentiel. Nous avons fait une revue systématique pour identifier des algorithmes, des critères, et des outils utilisés pour identifier 17 maladies chroniques, et avons fait la praticabilité de développer des algorithmes pour l’ÉLCV. Des 29 616 citations examinées, 668 papiers ont rencontré tous les critères d’inclusion. Nous avons déterminé que l’information incluse dans un algorithme de maladie différera selon le type de condition. Le diagnostic de quelques conditions symptomatiques, telles l’arthrose et l’arthrite, exigera la justification par des critères cliniques (par exemple, rayons X, mesure de densité osseuse) tandis que d’autres conditions, telles la dépression, se baseront seulement sur les dires des individus. Les conditions asymptomatiques, telles l’hypertension, sont plus difficiles à vérifier par les dires des individus et exigeront des mesures physiologiques additionnelles (par exemple, tension artérielle) et des mesures de laboratoire (par exemple, glucose). Cette étude pilote a identifié les outils nécessaires pour développer des algorithmes d’évaluation de diagnostic.

Full textAbstract:
Within-season crop yield forecasting at national and regional levels is crucial to ensure food security. Yet, forecasting is a challenge because of incomplete knowledge about the heterogeneity of factors determining crop growth, above all management and cultivars. This motivates us to propose a method for early forecasting of winter wheat yields in low-information systems regarding crop management and cultivars, and uncertain weather condition. The study was performed in two contrasting regions in southwest Germany, Kraichgau and Swabian Jura. We used in-season green leaf area index (LAI) as a proxy for end-of-season grain yield. We applied PILOTE, a simple and computationally inexpensive semi-empirical radiative transfer model to produce yield forecasts and assimilated LAI data measured in-situ and sensed by satellites (Landsat and Sentinel-2). To assimilate the LAI data into the PILOTE model, we used the particle filtering method. Both weather and sowing data were treated as random variables, acknowledging principal sources of uncertainties to yield forecasting. As such, we used the stochastic weather generator MarkSim® GCM to produce an ensemble of uncertain meteorological boundary conditions until the end of the season. Sowing dates were assumed normally distributed. To evaluate the performance of the data assimilation scheme, we set up the PILOTE model without data assimilation, treating weather data and sowing dates as random variables (baseline Monte Carlo simulation). Data assimilation increased the accuracy and precision of LAI simulation. Increasing the number of assimilation times decreased the mean absolute error (MAE) of LAI prediction from satellite data by ~1 to 0.2 m2/m2. Yield prediction was improved by data assimilation as compared to the baseline Monte Carlo simulation in both regions. Yield prediction by assimilating satellite-derived LAI showed similar statistics as assimilating the LAI data measured in-situ. The error in yield prediction by assimilating satellite-derived LAI was 7% in Kraichgau and 4% in Swabian Jura, whereas the yield prediction error by Monte Carlo simulation was 10 percent in both regions. Overall, we conclude that assimilating even noisy LAI data before anthesis substantially improves forecasting of winter wheat grain yield by reducing prediction errors caused by uncertainties in weather data, incomplete knowledge about management, and model calibration uncertainty.

L’importance des verbes à particule (VP) pour la production d’un anglais idiomatique n’est plus à démontrer et les verbes de ce type constituent un obstacle bien connu pour les apprenants étrangers. Cet article propose une description des difficultés que ceux-ci rencontrent aux plans syntaxique, sémantique, idiomatique et contrastif. Il présente également les résultats d’une étude pilote, conduite à partir de l’International corpus of learner English (ICLE), de la fréquence d’emploi de 72 verbes à particule courants dans 1 1 variétés d’apprenants. Il apparaît que, même si on observe des différences dans la performance des apprenants, tous les groupes d’apprenants non-natifs font un usage significativement plus faible des VP que les locuteurs natifs. Les apprenants allemands se distinguent par un emploi des VP très proche de celui des locuteurs natifs, ceci pouvant s’expliquer par un sur-emploi important de certains VP particuliers. S’agissant du sous-emploi généralement constaté, il peut être expliqué par l’absence de prise de conscience par les apprenants de la présence massive et du caractère idiomatique des VP en anglais.

There is building interest within industry and government to enable Urban Air Mobility (i.e., air-taxies). One concept envisions remotely piloted aircraft, yet it is unclear how this will impact public trust and acceptance. Method: Two hundred participants read vignettes describing remotely-piloted UAM operations and then responded to a series of questionnaires. The study employed a one-way between-subjects design manipulating five levels of Pilot-in-Command Distance: Onboard Pilot; Remote Control Pilot; Dedicated Remote Operator; Remote Operator; System Manager. Results: The Remote Control Pilot group indicated they would be less likely than the Onboard Pilot group to use UAM, based on the mediating effect of trust in the automation. The Remote Control Pilot and Remote Operator groups indicated they would be less likely to use UAM than the Onboard Pilot group, based on the mediating effect of trust in the remote pilot/operator. Conclusion: Trust in UAM automation and remote pilots/operators will likely affect public acceptance of UAM.

The purpose of this study was to examine airline pilots’ own formulation of desirable non-technical skills. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to identify the pilot community's own perception of desirable personal attitudes. Group interviews formed the basis for developing statements. A sample consisting of 174 pilots were questioned on their perception of desirable attitudes. The major finding indicated clusters of attitudes pilots perceived as desirable. The attitudes pilots called attention to were intimately linked to the concept of airmanship. Factor analysis revealed at least four factors in pilots’ conception of desired personal attitudes of an airman: “knowledge”, ‘flying skills’, ‘CRM’, and ‘self-awareness’. Santrauka Šio tyrimo tikslas buvo išanalizuoti oro linijų pilotų suformuluotus reikalingus netechninius gebėjimus. Kiekybiniai ir kokybiniai metodai buvo naudojami tam, kad būtų atskleisti pačių pilotų labiausiai vertinami gebėjimai. Teigiamiems gebėjimams nustatyti buvo apklausti 174 pilotai. Nustačius tam tikras gebėjimų sritis paaiškėjo, kad geriausiai pilotai vertino tuos gebėjimus, kurie yra susiję su skraidymu. Buvo atskleisti keturi labiausiai pilotų vertinami faktoriai: žinios, skraidymo įgūdžiai, CRM ir savikontrolė.

Cet article est basé sur une recherche évaluative du projet « réadaptation à base communautaire, RBC », réalisée au Rwanda en 2012 et en 2013. Il concerne un partenariat entre le ministère de la Santé (Minisanté) et Handicap International (HI), où le Minisanté a demandé l’assistance technique de HI dans la mise en œuvre d’un projet pilote de RBC impliquant l’élaboration de politiques, le renforcement des capacités des professionnels de la santé et la prestation de services au niveau communautaire. Le projet est cofinancé par l’Union européenne et Handicap International pour une durée de 4 ans. Une approche émancipatrice de la recherche avec un accent sur le rôle de la société civile (personnes handicapées et leurs organisations) comme protagoniste a été employée au cours de cette évaluation. Des données, majoritairement qualitatives, ont été recueillies à l’aide de plusieurs outils, comme des SSI (semi-structure interviews) avec les planificateurs et des fournisseurs de services, des groupes de discussion avec les usagers du service, des sondages, des études du cas et de l’observation. Les méthodes d’analyse synthétique ont été employées, comme l’analyse FFOM (force, faiblesse, opportunités et menaces), la validation communautaire et l’interprétation synthétique, incluant aussi des statistiques de base comme des tableaux et des pourcentages.Étant donné le succès du projet pilote, des recommandations ont favorisé la mise en œuvre de la RBC à grande échelle dans le pays, avec un accent particulier mis sur le renforcement de la capacité institutionnelle des acteurs locaux en matière de plaidoyer. Cela correspond bien à une meilleure protection des droits des PH selon la convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées (CDPH).This account is based on an evaluation research to the Community Based Rehabilitation programme in Rwanda which is carried out in 2012-2013. It’s a partnership between Ministry of Health (Minisanté) and Handicap International (HI) where Minisanté requested the technical assistance of HI in implementing a pilot CBR project involving policy development, capacity building of health professionals and the provision of rehabilitation services at community level. The project is financed by the European Union and Handicap International for 4 years. An emancipatory research approach was used in this evaluation where persons with disabilities and their civil society organisations have actively participated in research process. Several tools were used for data collections such as semi-structure interviews with planners and service providers, questionnaires, case study, observations and focus group discussion with service users. Equally, qualitative methods for analysis were used including SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) as well as community validation of research outcomes. Results showed that the objectives of project were adequately fulfilled according to criteria of pertinence, effectiveness, impact, sustainability and gender participation. Given the success of the pilot stage, recommendations were in favor of expanding CBR at the national level with focus on capacity building of local actors on advocacy issues. This may provide higher levels of rights protection and goes in line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

RÉSUMÉCe livre fait le décompte du développement de l'étude des religieuses (« Nun Study »). Cette recherche a exercé une influence scientifique sur le domaine. L'étude offre le point de vue de David Snowdon qui a débuté cette recherche comme projet pilote en 1986. D'un style familier qui se lie sans difficulté, Snowdon décrit le processus du projet et reflète sur ceux qui ont exercé une influence sur son développement. Parsemé à travers ce texte attirant, Snowdon reconnaît les choses (c.-à.-d. les individus et les événements) qui ont exercé une forte influence sur le développement de la recherche et du chercheur. En racontant le dessous de l'histoire de l'étude, Snowdon décrit les conclusions clés à l'intérieur du contexte des relations qu'il a entretenu avec les School Sisters of Notre Dame. Son récit de cette étude sans pareil est un hommage inspirant et écrit avec sensibilité aux religieuses en question et des collègues qui ont aidé à la réalisation de l'étude. La lecture du livre Aging with Grace est un investissement qui en vaut la peine : du chercheur universitaire expérimenté au jeune chercheur futur au profane qui se demande pourquoi et comment une recherche est entamée.

Full textAbstract:
SUMMARY Our published study, “An Empirical Study of Canadian Companies to Determine Clients' Preferred Relationship Approach with Their Financial Auditor” (Fontaine and Pilote 2011), examines the type of relationship that clients prefer to have with their financial auditors. We surveyed 306 Canadian financial executives (clients); in general, clients prefer more of a relational approach (i.e., an ongoing process based on cooperation, communication, and trust) than a transactional approach (i.e., competition and self-interest, resulting in an arm's-length relationship). Further, clients seek information and advice beyond core audit services. However, despite clients' desire for close relationships, they also want to remain at arm's length from their auditor, as required by the auditor's code of ethics. Our study contributes to audit practice by providing direct evidence of client relationship preferences, which could help auditors to enhance client relationships.

Full textAbstract:
Interest in advanced air mobility (AAM) and urban air mobility (UAM) operations for on-demand passenger and cargo transport continues to grow. There is ongoing research on market demand and forecast, community acceptance, privacy, and security. There is also ongoing research by National Aeronautics and Space Administration , Federal Aviation Administration, academia, and industry on airspace integration, regulatory, process, and procedural challenges. Safe integration of UAM and AAM will also require different stakeholder perspectives such as air traffic controllers, manned aircraft pilots, remote pilots, UAM operators, and the community. This research aimed to assess the willingness of manned aircraft pilots to operate in UAM integrated airspace based on airspace complexity and UAM automation level. In addition, a moderated mediation analysis was conducted using trust and perceived risk as mediators and operator type as a moderating variable. The results indicated that automation level influenced pilots’ willingness to operate an aircraft in integrated airspace. A moderating effect of operation type on automation level and willingness to pilot an aircraft was also observed: professional pilots were more amenable to UAM operations with a pilot on board compared with remotely piloted operations. Results from the study are expected to inform airspace integration challenges, processes, and procedures for UAM integrated operations.

471 Background: The objective of the present study was to prospectively evaluate FGFR mutation detetion in matched urine and tissue samples from patients suspicious of bladder cancer and undergoing first TURB within the framework of the BRIDGister RealWorld Experience trial. Methods: For this pilot study paraffin fixed pretreatment tissue samples from the first TURB of 48 pts participating in the BRIDGister trial and matched urine samples were prospectively collected and analyzed. RNA from FFPE tissues were extracted by commercial kits and analyzed by Therascreen FGFR IVD kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden). In addition urine samples were filtered at local urology and filters were shipped for central extraction of cellular DNA (Uromonitor, Porto). Concordance, Kruskal-Wallis, MannWhitney and Sensitivity/Specificity tests were analyzed by JMP 9.0.0 (SAS software). Results: The pilote cohort of the BRIDGister trial consisted of 47 patients (median age: 77, male 65% vs female 35%) of diverse clinical stages (benign lesions/no tumor 38%, pTa 23%, pT1 20%, pT2 19%) and WHO 1973 grade (G1 11%, G2 43%, G3 23%). Based on FFPE tissue testing using Therascreen FGFR IVD kit 10 out of 47 patients exhibited FGFR alterations (25%), while urine filtering for cellular components and subsequent PCR testing revealed 13 out of 40 matched urine sampels were FGFR positive (33%). Comparison with tissue testing as probable gold standard revealed 100% sensitivity, 90% specificity, 77% PPV, 100% NPV as well as high concordance (kappa 0,82, p < 0,0001). There were 3 patients being FGFR positive for Uromonitor from urine with no mutation found in the corresponding TUR biopsy. Conclusions: Filtering urine for cells and subsequent DNA extraction followed by PCR detection results in highly sensitive mutation testing being feasible with good concordance to matched tissue testing. Prospective testing validated the diagnostic accuracy of the Uromonitor FGFR test in a real world setting.

"MVT-Like Fluorite Deposits and Oligocene Magmatic-Hydrothermal Fluorite–Be–U–Mo–P–V Overprints in Northern Coahuila, Mexico." Minerals 9, no. 1 (January 18, 2019): 58. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/min9010058.
Full textAbstract:
The formation of most fluorite deposits in northern Coahuila (NE Mexico) is explained by MVT models, and is a part of the metallogenic province of northeastern Mexico. However, fluorite skarn deposits also occur in the same region, and there is evidence for late hydrothermal manifestations with no clear origin and evolution. The latter are the main focus of this study; in particular, F–Be–U–Mo–V–P stringers in the Aguachile-Cuatro Palmas area that overprint preexisting fluorite mantos. The region experienced the emplacement of several intrusives during the Eocene and the Oligocene that are collectively grouped into the East Mexico Alkaline Province (EMAP) and postdate MVT-like deposits. Some of these intrusives have associated skarn deposits; most of them are polymetallic, but the unusual El Pilote deposit contains fluorite mineralisation that was remobilised from MVT-like deposits. The formation of the Aguachile deposit (and, collectively, part of the Cuatro Palmas deposit) has been attributed to a shallow retrograde skarn model. The Cuatro Palmas and Las Alicias fluorite deposits consist of MVT-like deposits overprinted by late hydrothermal fluorite mineralisation rich in Be–U–Mo–V–P, and the Aguachile deposit consists entirely of the latter type. The systematic fluid inclusion study of MVT-like, skarn, and late hydrothermal fluorite deposits reveals a very different distribution of temperature and salinity data that allows the discrimination of mineralising fluids for the type of deposit. MVT-like deposits were formed by fluids with temperatures of homogenisation that range between 50 °C and 152 °C and salinities between 5 and 15.5 wt.% NaCl equivalent. The El Pilote fluorite skarn was formed by fluids with temperatures of homogenisation that range between 78 °C and 394 °C and salinities between 5 and 34 wt.% NaCl equivalent, and include CaCl2-rich brines with salinities that range between 24.5 and 29.1 wt.% CaCl2. Late shallow fluorite–Be–U–Mo–V–P hydrothermal deposits were formed by fluids with temperatures of homogenisation that range between 70 °C and 180 °C and salinities between 0.9 and 3.4 wt.% NaCl equivalent; the sole exception to the above is the La Fácil deposit, with salinities that range between 7.9 and 8.8 wt.% NaCl equivalent. While temperatures of homogenisation are similar between MVT-like and late hydrothermal deposits, and both even have hydrocarbon-rich fluid inclusion associations, the salinity of late deposits is similar to that of retrograde skarn fluids, although further diluted. However, homogenisation temperatures tend to be higher in late hydrothermal than in MVT-like deposits, thus making them more similar to retrograde skarn fluids. Although this characteristic cannot solely establish a genetic link between a retrograde skarn model and late hydrothermal deposits in the study area, the characteristics of fluids associated with the latter separate these deposits from those ascribed to an MVT-like model. Assuming that mineralising fluids for late fluorite–Be–U–Mo–V–P hydrothermal deposits may correspond to a retrograde skarn (or “epithermal”) deposit, the source for fluorine may be either from (A) the dissolution of earlier formed MVT-like deposits, (B) the entrainment of remaining F-rich basinal brines, or (C) hydrothermal fluids exsolved from highly evolved magmas. Possibilities A and B are feasible due to a hypothetical situation similar to the El Pilote skarn, and due to the occurrence of hydrocarbon-rich fluid inclusions at the La Fácil deposit. Possibility C is feasible because intrusive bodies related to highly evolved magmas would have provided other highly lithophile elements like Be, U and Mo upon the exsolution of their hydrothermal fluids. Such intrusive bodies occur in both study areas, and are particularly conspicuous at the Aguachile collapse structure.

ABSTRACTThis pilot project aims to test and see the relevance of the direct observation method to collect data on the barriers and facilitators to attending public places by seniors with TBI. The study is based on the conceptual framework VADA WHO which focuses on the development of friendly built and technological environments for seniors. Three elderly people participated in the study, recruited from an ongoing project, The Citizen Intervention in Community Living (APIC), in the presence of their personalized attendant. The study shows the feasibility of the method in terms of its acceptability and resources mobilized. It shows its relevance to access additional data that would have been difficult to obtain using others methods (e.g., semi-structured interview), such as the identification of the strategies used by the participants to address the obstacles encountered (avoidance, travel planning, use of physical and preventative support of the personalized attendant).

Although earlier research has examined the potential of portfolios as assessment tools, research on the use of portfolios in the context of second-language education in Canada has been limited. The goal of this study was to explore the benefits and challenges of implementing a portfolio-based language assessment (PBLA) model in Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) programs. Data were gathered through semistructured interviews with four LINC instructors involved in a PBLA pilot project in a large Canadian city. Similar interviews were con- ducted with a representative of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and a de- veloper of the PBLA model. Participants identified both benefits and challenges related to PBLA implementation. Based on their feedback, recommendations for future implementation are provided.Bien que la recherche antérieure ait porté sur le potentiel des portfolios comme outils d’évaluation, la recherche sur leur emploi dans l’éducation en langue sec- onde au Canada est limitée.

The increased prevalence and severity of academic-related distress is of significant concern on college campuses. Of particular relevance to instructors is the anxiety relating to classroom teaching and evaluation practices. Sources of evaluation anxiety include student uncertainty about the nature of the expected demands as well as their ability to meet these demands. This report presents work from a pilot study investigating correlations between evaluation anxiety and perceived evaluation fidelity for different evaluation techniques across four different disciplines. We also examined the potential mediating role of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between anxiety and expected grade. Our results provide insight into methods to reduce anxiety and increase performance: should instructors focus their efforts on modifying their evaluation tools or increasing academic self-efficacy?

Abstract Introduction: Air travel associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been termed the economy class syndrome (ECS). Risk factors for ECS are divided into i) patient related; age, previous VTE, thrombophilia, malignancy and ii) cabin related; hypoxia, low humidity, dehydration and prolonged sitting. No study to date has looked at the incidence of VTE in healthy frequent flyers. The aim of this study was to see if professional pilots are at increased risk of VTE. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort of 206 pilots working for a single airline operating on medium duration (3–7 hour) international routes from 1991–2000 was studied. Landspitali University Hospital is the only hospital serving Reykjavik, Iceland and its neighboring communities, and it is the sole primary hospital for approximately 130.000 people age 18 and over. Databases of clinical and radiographic diagnoses made at Landspitali University Hospital were searched for codes consistent with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) occurring from 1991 to 2000. A computerized database of pilot personal identification numbers was then record linked to this VTE cohort from Landspitali University Hospital to see if any of the pilots had been diagnosed with VTE. For comparison purposes, a subgroup of the hospital database cohort and the underlying Reykjavik population was defined to match the gender and age characteristics of the pilot group. Expected number of cases with VTE among pilots was then calculated by extrapolating the observed prevalence of VTE among this subgroup to the pilot cohort. Finally, the relative risk of VTE for the pilots was calculated with p-value and 95% confidence interval. Results: Two hundred and six male pilots (median age 37 years, range 26–69) were included in the study. A total of 2263 patients were diagnosed with VTE at the Landspitali during the 10 year period, 931 with DVT and 1509 with PE, of whom 177 had both DVT and PE. There were 46,016 males aged 26 to 69 years living in the service area. Of these, 447 developed VTE. Extrapolating from the observed proportion of males age 26–69 diagnosed with VTE in the greater Reykjavik area, the expected number of VTE in the pilot cohort was found to be two. Of the 206 pilots, none was diagnosed with DVT or PE at Landspitali University Hospital during the study period. The relative risk of VTE in the pilot group was found to be 0, with no applicable lower limit to the 95% confidence interval, an upper limit of 1.83, and a p-value of 0.14. Conclusion: Professional airline pilots flying medium range distances do not have an increased risk of VTE and therefore they seem not to develop the ECS. This study does not point to an increased risk of VTE in healthy travelers in association with medium range flights.

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) must comply with specific standards to operate in the National Airspace System (NAS). Among the requirements are the detect and avoid (DAA) capabilities, which include display, alerting, and guidance specifications. Previous studies have queried pilots for their subjective feedback of these display elements on earlier systems; the present study sought pilot evaluations with an initial iteration of the unmanned variant of a Next Generation Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS XU). Sixteen participants piloted simulated aircraft with both standalone and integrated DAA displays. Their opinions were gathered using post-block and post-simulation questionnaires as well as guided debriefs. The data showed pilots had better understanding and comfort with the system when using an integrated display. Pilots also rated ACAS XU alerting and guidance as generally acceptable and effective. Implications for further development of ACAS XU and DAA displays are discussed.

Abstract. Increasing evidence suggests that commercial airline pilots can experience physical, mental, and social health difficulties. Qualitative interviews with commercial airline pilots explored the relationship between work-related stress and well-being. Participatory workshops involving pilots were conducted. The methodology of this action-based research involved a blend of person-centered design approaches; specifically, “stakeholder evaluation” and “participatory design.” The findings further support the hypothesis that pilot well-being is being negatively affected by the nature of their work. The biopsychosocial model of the lived experience of a pilot, as presented in this paper, provides a useful structure to examine pilot well-being, and to identify and scope potential coping strategies to self-manage health and well-being issues associated with the job of being a pilot.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of carrying out this work was to identify potential application areas for augmented reality (AR) in pilot education by addressing gender preferences. Like the field of engineering, the aviation industry is dominated by men. Because the aviation industry forecasts a high demand for pilots, it is highly desirable to address gender diversity and improve teaching methods in pilot education. In this study, potential application areas for AR-supported pilot training were investigated by conducting a survey with 60 pilots and flight instructors (including 12 women). Typical AR use cases were presented in videos, and the pilots reported their preferences regarding similar or other AR applications used in different parts of the flight training program. AR navigation was the use case that was most frequently preferred by both female and male pilots. The majority of pilots agreed that AR could potentially be used in theoretical instruction, pre-flight aircraft inspection, and procedure training. In addition, both gender groups showed similar preferences for various gaming concepts that make learning more interesting and engaging, such as receiving positive feedback. However, a higher percentage of women than men reported that achieving a target or receiving points to successfully finish a task and answering questions during the game were satisfying. Including a story in the game to attract attention was preferred by a higher percentage of men than women. The results of this study can be used to design AR educational concepts that support gender diversity in pilot education and other technical domains.

Abstract Introduction Flight surgeons play a vital role in U.S. Air Force aviation operations by ensuring that pilots are medically prepared to meet the demands of military aviation. However, there is natural tension between pilots and flight surgeons. A pilot may be reluctant to share medical information with a flight surgeon who could negatively impact the pilot’s career or flight status. In this preliminary study, we sought to identify pilot-perceived strengths and weaknesses in the relationship between U.S. Air Force aviators and their flight surgeons. Materials and Methods An online survey regarding pilot–flight surgeon confidence and perceived values was distributed electronically to a convenience sample of U.S. Air Force aviators. Participants included U.S. Air Force active duty and Air Reserve Component (Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard) military aviators in addition to U.S. Air Force Academy aviation cadets. Results One hundred and seventy-three aviators participated in the survey. Respondents reported variable comfort in approaching flight surgeons with medical concerns and suggested that they believed other pilots might be withholding medical information from flight surgeons or seeking care from civilian physicians for career protection. Conclusions We sought to examine the pilot–flight surgeon relationship and its impact on daily flying operations. While limited, results suggest that there may be gaps in trust between pilots and their flight surgeons. These findings could present an opportunity to improve the pilot–flight surgeon relationship by identifying factors that contribute to closer pilot–flight surgeon relationships.

Summary Aim: A pilote study for estimation of radiation exposure due to diagnostic procedures in nuclear medicine using routine data of hospitals and practices in Germany. Methods: Hospitals and practices willing to participate in the study supplied data of one year (1997), containing information on patients´ identification number, age, sex, type of diagnostic procedure, radiopharmaceutical, administered activity, type of health insurance (private/ public), inpatient/outpatient status, and so-called Leistungsziffer, which describes the type of medical performances in Germany. The effective dose per examination was calculated according to ICRP 80. Mean, standard deviation, median, 5th and 95th percentiles of the effective dose were calculated, stratified by type of organ system and also by sex and age, including patients of ≥18 years. Results: 82 039 examinations from patients of 9 hospitals and practices were analyzed. The median (5-95th percentiles) of the effective dose per examination for all patients was 2.9 mSv (0.4-8.5 mSv); 1.2 examinations per patient and year were performed on average. The three most frequent examinations were bone scans (median 3.4 mSv; 2.9-5.1), thyroid (0.9 mSv; 0.4-2.2) and cardiovascular studies (7.3 mSv; 3.8-20.2). The median effective dose for 18 to 40 years old women was 1.0 mSv (0.4-5.8), for women between 41 and 65 years 2.2 mSv (0.4-7.3) and for women older than 65 years 2.4 mSv (0.5- 7.6). The corresponding values for men were 2.6 mSv (0.3-7.6); 3.3 mSv (0.4-9.1), and 3.4 mSv (0.5- 8.8). Conclusion: It was possible to gain an accurate determination of radiation exposure of diagnostic procedures in nuclear medicine by routine data.

The industrialization and urbanization are responsible for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and could generate energy shortage problems. The application of Demand Response (DR) programs enables the user to be empowered towards a conscious consumption of energy, allowing the reduction or displacement of the demand for electrical energy, contributing to the sustainable development of the sector and the operational efficiency of the electrical system, among others. A reference framework for this type of program is detailed along with a literature survey applied to the Colombian case. The considerations on the design of a methodology to the implementation of the DR pilot, considering if the pilot is in an interconnected system zone or non-interconnected system zone and the application of the design methodology in the modeling of three DR pilots in Colombia is presented. For the modeling of the pilots, the characteristics of the area and the base consumption of the users are considered, and the characteristics and assumptions of the pilot are also defined. Furthermore, the DR pilot in each zone considering four types of users is detailed. The results show the potential for energy reduction and displacement in different time bands for each zone, which allows determining the assessment of the benefits from a technical, financial, and environmental point of view, and the costs of each pilot in monetary terms, it not to compare the pilots with each other, but to illustrate the values that must be taken into account in those analyses. The sensitivity analysis of each pilot was also carried out, considering the variation of the benefit/cost relationship with the energy rate in peak hours vs. off-peak hours and the base energy rate in the area. The sensitivity analysis shows that, when varying the level of energy demand response and the number of pilot participants, the values are presented when the benefit/cost ratio is greater than 1. In addition, the paper provides specific recommendations related to the design of a methodology and the implementation in a pilot DR using simulation.

Integrating peer support workers (PSWs) into mental health community programs for young people has the potential to increase their access to mental health services. However, very little research has focused on the development of training that is relevant for and readily accessible to youth and employees seeking to acquire a general overview of peer support fundamentals as applicable to youth mental health in community settings. This pilot study aimed to document the implementation fidelity of a newly developed youth mental health peer support training and its impacts on participants’ understanding and perceived ability to provide peer support in community-based youth mental health settings. A multiple-informant approach was used to develop the training which is mapped onto the existing theoretical framework for peer support (Mead, Hilton, & Curtis, 2001). A descriptive quantitative and qualitative research design was used and data were collected using self-reported measures. Five participants completed the 16-hour training, which was offered online through videoconferencing. Results showed that, overall, components of the training were implemented with a high level of fidelity to the theoretical framework. Furthermore, participants reported that the training has had a positive impact on their level of preparedness and ability to provide peer support. Despite the limited sample size, this study suggests that the training developed has practical value as an introductory training tool for youth mental health PSWs. Moreover, this study is the first to provide evidence that the theoretical framework selected is relevant to inform such training.
L’intégration de pairs aidants dans les programmes communautaires de santé mentale jeunesse a le potentiel d’accroître l’accès des jeunes aux services de santé mentale. Toutefois, très peu d’études se sont penchées sur le développement de formations adaptées et facilement accessibles aux jeunes et employé·e·s souhaitant acquérir une vue d’ensemble des principes fondamentaux du soutien par les pairs applicables en santé mentale jeunesse en milieu communautaire. Cette étude pilote visait à documenter la fidélité d’implantation d’une formation pour pairs aidants travaillant en santé mentale communautaire jeunesse et ses impacts sur la compréhension et la capacité perçue des participant·e·s à fournir un soutien par les pairs. Cette formation a été développée selon une approche multi-informateurs en s’appuyant sur le cadre théorique de la pair-aidance de Mead, Hilton et Curtis (2001). Une méthodologie descriptive quantitative et qualitative a été utilisée avec collecte des données par questionnaires autoadministrés. Cinq personnes ayant complété la formation sur deux jours, par vidéoconférence, ont pris part à l’étude. Les résultats montrent que les éléments de la formation ont été mis en œuvre avec un niveau élevé de fidélité relativement au modèle théorique. Les participantes mentionnent que la formation leur a permis de se sentir prêtes et capables d’offrir du soutien comme pairs aidants. Malgré le nombre limité de participants, cette étude suggère que la formation développée possède une valeur pratique pour la formation initiale des pairs aidants en santé mentale jeunesse. Elle révèle également que le cadre théorique utilisé est pertinent pour la formation de ces intervenants.

Considerando las especificidades y principios del método Pilates,el presente estudio tiene como objetivo desarrollar y validar un sistema de observación que permita observar los comportamientos de instrucción de instructores de Fitness en la actividad Pilates, (SOIIF-PILATES), a partir de la adaptación de un instrumento ya existente. Después de varios procedimientos metodológicos para probar la funcionalidad del instrumento, el SOIIF-PILATES creado demostró presentar validez y fiabilidad siendo constituido por dos criterios/dimensiones (momento y contenido) y 15 categorías. Se realizó también una aplicación piloto del instrumento en una muestra de 15 instructores en la actividad de Pilates que permitió caracterizar su intervención, así como compararla con las fases de la clase (calentamiento, parte fundamental y relajación/estiramiento) y del ejercicio (antes, durante y después del ejercicio). Los resultados del estudio piloto demostraron que la mayoría de las categorías mencionadas por las instructoras se ajusta a los principios de Pilates, lo que puede justificar su elevada utilización. Se encontraron diferencias en el total de la instrucción en las diferentes fases de la clase y entre las diferentes fases de la clase y el ejercicio. Considering the specificities and principles of the Pilates method, the present study aims to develop and validate an observation system that allows us to observe the instructional behaviors of Fitness instructors in the Pilates activity (SOIIF-PILATES), based on the adaptation of an instrument that already exist. After several methodological procedures to test the functionality of the instrument, the SOIIF-PILATES proved to be valid and reliable, consisting of two dimensions (moment and content) and 15 categories. A pilot application of the instrument was also carried out in a sample of 15 Fitness instructors of the Pilates activity, which allowed to characterize their intervention as well as to compare it in different phases of the class (warm-up, main part and relaxation/stretching) and in different parts of the exercise (before, during and after the exercise) The results of the pilot study reveal that most of the categories referred by the instructors are following the principles of Pilates, which may justify their high utilization. Differences were found in the total of instruction of the different phases of the class and between the different phases of the class and the different phases of the exercise.

Purpose: The hearing condition of pilots and the level of noise of helicopter were of interest. This study aimed to analyze the noise environment and hearing loss of the pilots of Korean army aviation.Methods: A total of 242 pilots who did not have any middle ear problems or other ear diseases were selected: 34, 69, 70, and 69 from the age group 20, 30, 40, and 50, respectively. The physical examination records of hearing test from 2015 to 2019 were analyzed. The noise environment was measured at the two indoor positions of pilot and crew and one outside position which was 1 m away from the 8 helicopters owned by Korean army aviation: 500MD, UH-1H, UH-60, KUH-1, AH-1S, BO-105, CH-47, AH-64.Results: The thresholds of pilots were statistically different in term of frequency, age, and flight time (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The range of measured noise level of helicopters at the position of pilot, crew, and outside were 88.6 (AH-1S)-104.1 dB A (CH-47), 93.9 (UH-1H)-108.6 dB A (CH-47), 105 (500MD, AH-1S)-109 dB A (AH-64). When compared hearing thresholds of the pilots to normal groups according to age groups, they were higher at 6 kHz and lower at 0.5 kHz for all age groups.Conclusion: The hearing thresholds of Korean army aviation pilots increased as age and flight time were increased while showing the typical noise-induced hearing loss with high frequency involvement. We suggest that hearing protection education should be provided and the appropriate hearing conservation program should be established for pilot hearing health care in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this work, a reactor network model was developed to study homogeneous gas-phase methane combustion taking place under typical operating conditions of lean pre-mixed combustors piloted by rich catalytic/lean-burn (RCL) systems. In particular, the thermo-kinetic interaction between the pilot stream (i.e. the stream exiting the RCL stage) and the main feeding stream to the homogeneous reactor was investigated in terms of combustion stability and emissions. The homogeneous combustor was modeled as a perfectly stirred reactor (PSR). The pilot stream was mixed with the main feeding stream prior to entering the PSR. Numerical results have shown that the opportunity to stabilize combustion is strongly linked to the presence of hydrogen in the pilot stream. Combustion stability is highly sensitive to variations in fuel split between catalytic pilot and homogeneous reactor. The increase in pilot fuel split (and, thus, in the inlet hydrogen concentration to the PSR) enlarges the operating window of stable combustion (in terms of higher heat losses, lower preheat temperatures and lower residence times), while still achieving NOx and CO emissions lower than 9 ppm (at 15% O2). These results highlight the potential of the RCL technology as a valuable alternative to conventional diffusion flame-based pilots.

This study attempts to examine the fatigue of pilots who fly the commercial aircraft on short route since they have to make several take-off and landing during their duty time for short route flight. The method of paired t-test was used to measure the condition of the pilots before and after their duty time. In addition, the factors that the pilots most felt in contributing to the level of fatigue were also explored in this study. The results indicate that the pilots experience fatigue when flying short routes in their duty time and the factor that contributes the most to the pilots’ fatigue is the external factor related to their duty as a pilot. Penelitian ini berusaha menggali kelelahan pilot yang menerbangkan pesawat komersial rute pendek, karena pilot yang menerbangkan rute pendek dalam menjalankan flight duty time membutuhkan beberapa kali dalam melakukan take off maupun landing. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode uji t secara berpasangan dengan mengukur kondisi pilot sebelum bertugas dengan kondisi sesudah bertugas, selain itu penelitian ini juga berusaha menggali faktor-faktor terbesar yang dirasakan oleh pilot dalam menyumbang tingkat kelelahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat kelelahan yang dirasakan oleh pilot dalam melaksanakan rute pendek dan faktor terbesar yang menyumbang kelelahan adalah faktor eksternal yang berkaitan dengan tugas mereka sebagai pilot.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This study aims to contribute to current research on team learning patterns. It specifically addresses some negative perceptions of the job performance learning pattern. Design/methodology/approach – Over a period of three years, qualitative and quantitative data were gathered on pilot learning in the workplace. The instructional modes included face-to-face classroom-based training; pilots assessing pre-recorded videos in classroom-based training; pilots assessing videos with fellow pilot of similar rank (paired training); pilots undertaking traditional 4-hour simulator session with 1-hour debriefing using a variety of technologies for replaying the simulator session; and pilots undertaking 2-hour simulator sessions with extended 3-hour debriefing utilizing simulator replay video. Findings – Although traditional classroom-based, face-to-face instruction was viewed as acceptable, pilots who critically assessed the practice of other pilots in pre-recorded videos felt empowered by transferring classroom instruction to the workplace. The study also establishes a need to determine the correct balance between high-workload simulator training and low-workload debriefing. Research limitations/implications – A move towards developing a typology for workplace learning patterns was viewed negatively if job performance was the focus. However, pilot practitioners felt empowered when provided with the right mix of performance-oriented learning opportunities, especially when these provided an appropriate mix of high-fidelity simulations with time for reflection on practice. Practical implications – By focusing on one learning pattern – job performance – the paper demonstrates the benefits of learning via a variety of instructional modes. Whereas aviation has a unique workplace environment, many other high- and low-risk industries are acknowledging the impact of technical and non-technical skills on job performance. This may suggest that findings from this study are transferable across a broader range of workplace settings. Originality/value – The findings demonstrate that broadening research across many professional workplace settings may assist in developing a more robust framework for the micro-organization of each workplace learning pattern.

RÉSUMÉNotre étude pilote a évalué la faisabilité, l’efficacité et la mise en œuvre du programme d’exercices fonctionnels en groupe intégrés au mode de vie (Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise; Mi-LiFE) créé pour des personnes âgées, dans le cadre d’une pratique interprofessionnelle en soins de première ligne. Un physiothérapeute a enseigné aux participants comment intégrer des exercices de force et d’équilibre dans la routine quotidienne au cours d’une séance individuelle et de quatre séances de groupe, suivis de deux rendez-vous téléphoniques. Les résultats concernant la faisabilité incluaient le recrutement, l’adhésion et la rétention sur une période de six mois. L’activité physique (AP) (accéléromètre, IPAQ), une version courte de la batterie de tests de performance physique (SPPB) et la qualité de vie liée à la santé (EQ5D-3L) ont été évaluées au début de l’intervention et 6 mois plus tard. Des 123 personnes admissibles, 39 % ont participé à l’intervention et 61 % n’étaient pas intéressées ou non joignables. Quarante-huit participants (âge moyen ± ÉT = 81 ± 5 ans ; IMC = 28 ± 5 kg/m2 ; 60 % de femmes ; AP modérée à vigoureuse = 49 ± 87 minutes par semaine) ont pris part à cette étude. Quatre participants se sont retirés avant le début de l’intervention. Trente-deux participants (67 %) étaient présents au suivi. Le taux d’adhésion quotidien documenté dans le journal de bord était de 50 % à 6 mois, et 77 % des participants ont assisté à au moins 4 séances. Aucun changement statistiquement significatif n’a été observé dans les résultats de l’AP modérée à forte et de la SPPB. Cependant, les participants ont déclaré lors du suivi que leur force et leur équilibre dans l’AP se sont améliorés, tout comme leur qualité de vie. Le programme Mi-LiFE présente une bonne faisabilité, avec des taux de recrutement et d’assiduité acceptables. Des modifications pourraient être apportées pour améliorer la rétention et l’adhésion à l’intervention. Ces résultats renseignent sur la faisabilité de programames d’exercices pragmatiques qui pourraient être développés pour être offerts aux personnes âgées se présentant pour des soins de première ligne.

Military pilots undergo rigorous selection compared with civilian professional pilots because of different operational requirements. There are no studies of military pilots’ subsequent civil aviation careers and fatal pilot aviation accidents. This study focuses on Vietnam War (VW) pilots and subsequent fatal aviation accidents in the U.S from 1965 to 2018. In total nine aviation accidents met the inclusion criteria and are described in detail, including the pilots’ previous civil aviation incidents. The VW pilots were healthy, had valid Medicals and continued to fly in demanding pilot positions after their military careers. Although the data are limited, this study suggests that previous military pilots may differ slightly from other pilots in their subsequent civil aviation careers.

Pilot fatigue is being dealt with as an important issue in relation to aviation safety. Recently, as unmanned aerial vehicles capable of flying for 24 hours have been delivered to the Korean Army, it is judged that it is time to pay great attention to research on fatigue management of UAV pilots. This study was conducted to confirm whether the major pilot fatigue-inducing factors highlighted by previous research results have the same effect on long-endurance UAV pilots in the Korean Army. As a result of the study, the fatigue of the ROK Army UAV pilots was proportional to the increase in flight duty time, and it was possible to identify that the increased pilot fatigue limits the mission performance when the flight duty time exceeded 8 hours. It was confirmed that the fatigue of the pilot flying at nighttime was higher than that of the pilot who flew during the daytime even when flying the same time. Through this study, we identified the implications of the need for the Korean army to refine the pilot working hours management regulations and raise interest in improving welfare conditions to manage the fatigue of long-endurance UAV pilots.

As computer display technology has evolved, so have the aircraft instrument displays pilots use for aircraft control and navigation. With the aid of two different flight training devices – one configured with steam gauges and the other configured with glass cockpit – this study measured aircraft control and navigation differences between two pilot groups. Pilot Group 1 had earned their instrument rating in aircraft equipped with steam gauges, and Pilot Group 2 had earned their instrument rating in aircraft equipped with glass cockpits. Using displays for which they were not trained, each pilot was tested on aircraft control and navigation precision. The test required that pilots complete basic instrument maneuvers and an instrument landing system approach. Using MANOVA, deviations from assigned values were recorded and statistically compared. Study findings indicated that steam gauge pilots transitioning to glass cockpits perform better than glass cockpit pilots transitioning to steam gauge displays.

This study aims to identify and use digital technology to ensure the pilots’ lives’ safety and to avoid unnecessary delays due to vessels staying at quarantine anchorage during pandemics. The primary means for a pilot to board or disembark a ship is by a pilot ladder. Many pilots suffered severe injuries or even lost their life due to accidents involving the failure of pilot ladders. For this research, a questionnaire with five questions about the dangers and its reasons which threaten pilots’ lives, was prepared, and distributed to professionals both in the maritime industry and port operations. Eightynine professionals from the maritime industry answered it. The most common causes affecting pilots’ safety were unsafe rigging and not securing the ladder correctly or the breaking of a defective pilot ladder. In addition, interviews made with three maritime experts about the distance pilotage. This study aims to utilize and implement the digital technology enabling pilots to sit in the port control office or Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) office instead of going onboard a vessel. For assessing our innovation, a berthing and one unberthing scenario were designed and tested in our full mission bridge simulator by an experienced pilot. The results discovered during the debriefing sessions and the feedback from other experienced pilots and captains were satisfying, making us confident and comfortable with the innovation idea

Abstract. The first flight of any new aircraft remains a potentially dangerous event. Test pilots face many unknowns when a prototype leaves the ground for the first time. In a time when remotely piloted and autonomous aircraft fly every day, the question about using their technologies to avoid losing a test pilot arises. This study investigates the advantages of using a machine to test another machine. It also discusses the disadvantages of relying on airborne sensors instead of using the test pilot’s cognitive capabilities and judgment. The analysis of collected flight testing data suggests that aircraft handling qualities may be more precisely tested adding specific automation. However, remote control and autonomous flight testing bring new safety constraints that cannot be ignored.
