With the development and evolution of technology and aviation safety management, the aviation accident rate of the world has been reducing year by year, and the aviation safety situation appears to be improving. Nevertheless, in the analysis of the causes of aviation accidents of local and foreign civil aircrafts happened in recent years, the proportion of the cause being human factors of pilot is as high as 90%. And the two major accidents happened to the Navy in the past 10 years were also related to the human error of pilot. In other words, human factors are is the greatest threats to aviation safety, and should be taken as the core work of aviation safety management in aviation field. The study refers to the literature about the related human factors of the local and foreign civil aircraft and naval aircraft accidents, and takes the SHELL model as the classification criterion of the course structure. As a result, the study has screened and summarized 7 constructs, including ¡§brief introduction of human factors of aviation accidents,¡¨ ¡§aviation physiology of pilot,¡¨ ¡§aviation psychology of pilot,¡¨ ¡§interaction between pilot and other people,¡¨ ¡§relationship between pilot and equipment,¡¨ ¡§relationship between pilot and software,¡¨ and ¡§relationship betweel pilot and environment.¡¨ Under these 7 constructs, the paper designs 60 training subjects. The research approach of the paper adopts two-stage questionnaire survey. In the first stage, aviation experts screened out 7 constructs with 50 more important subjects. After that, survey is made on the helicopter pilots of the Navy and National Airborne Service Corps. Verbal evaluation function is adopted to analyze different constructs as well as the relative weights and sequence of different courses in these constructs. Furthermore, the study develops for the Navy three courses, namely initial training, specialized training and recurrent training, which are applicable to different training targets. Finally, the study refers to the related literature about human factors of civil aviation, and proposes some improvement strategies for the human factors management of naval pilot in order to ensure success of the training of the study. The study sets a 35-hour initial training course, a 26-hour specialized training course, and a 15-hour recurrent training course. Recurrent training course has to be taken regularly every half year. The skill practices of both specialized training and recurrent training can be implemented by the Line Oriented flight training or by the way of role playing so as to let pilots experience their practice in crew resource management. In addition, the study proposes to the Navy some improvement strategies in the aspects of human factors operation doctrine, organization, training and supervision. These improvement strategies and the training courses of the study can be provided to the Navy as a reference for future use in achieving the goal of great improvement on aviation safety.

Skrydžio saugos užtikrinimas – tai pagrindinis lėktuvo pilotų darbo uždavinys kiekvieno reiso metu. Tinkama daugianarės skrydžio įgulos sąveika yra bene svarbiausias veiksnys garantuojantis skrydžio saugumą ir efektyvumą. Pagrindinis magistro baigiamojo darbo tikslas – ištirti netinkamą daugianarės įgulos sąveiką, dėl kurios įvyksta įvairaus pobūdžio lėktuvų avarijos ar katastrofos, išanalizuoti pilotų sąveiką sąlygojančius veiksnius ir pateikti galimus siūlymus, panašioms situacijoms išvengti ateityje. Nustatant ir tiriant netinkamą sąveiką sąlygojančius veiksnius, įvertinama ir jų svarba bendrai skrydžio saugai. Pagrindiniai netinkamo bendro pilotų darbo veiksniai:  Netinkamas kapitono vadovavimo stilius;  Nuovargis:  Stresas;  Netinkamas bendravimas. Vėliau šie veiksniai yra praktiškai patvirtinami analizuojant jau įvykusias aviakatastrofas. Ieškomos objektyvios netinkamos pilotų sąveikos priežastys kiekvienos avarijos metu. Daugumoje ištirtų įvykių aptikti kritiniai momentai, kuomet pilotams galimai imantis atitinkamai siūlomų veiksmų, dar įmanomas įvykio evoliucijos laike pakeitimas ir aviakatastrofos išvengimas. / Flight safety assurance is the main task for aircraft pilots during their every flight. Appropriate multi-crew cooperation is probably the most important factor that guarantees effective and safe flight. The main object of this master’s thesis is to analize inadequate multi-crew cooperation which leads to various airplane crashes, to research factors, that affect cooperation of pilots and to suggest probabale solutions, in order to avoid similar situations in the future. After identifying and researching factors that cause inadequate cooperation, the importance of elements for flight safety is also evaluated. The main factors for inappropriate mutual work between the pilots are:  Inappropriate commanding style of captain;  Fatigue;  Stress;  Inappropriate communication. Later these factors are practically confirmed while analizing airplane crashes. During every accident, a search is made for the objective factors that caused an appearance of inadequate cooperation of pilots. Critical moments were found in the most of the crashes, when taking the suggested action there is still a possibility to change the further evoliution of the happening and aircraft crash avoidance.

High-risk industries are operating in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment; this leads to new perspectives on the role of the human operator in the safety management system, encouraging organizations to exploit the uniquely human capabilities of operator teams in order to maintain safe operations. Crew resource management is a popular framework for training operator teams, but has not yet been adapted to accommodate this theoretical development in any major way. Through an action research project within N-USOC, a control room supporting science missions at the International Space Station, a prototypical CRM course is developed for a distributed team working in a complex-dynamic environment, guided by theoretical analysis of safety literature and by the specific needs of the N-USOC context. Adaptive decision making strategies and skills are identified as important success factors for the human operator, along with developing team processes to increase the team capacity for managing safety margins. For N-USOC operators, building this desired adaptive expertise while learning how to manage workload and utilize domain expertise in time-critical situations is especially important. While the development of CRM training for N-USOC is not complete, the study represents a foundation to build upon for the organization, and a theoretical contribution to safety research.

Atendendo a essa demanda, foram conduzidos dois estudos, com os objetivos de: a) revisar a produção na área de avaliação de treinamento, desenvolvimento e educação (TD&E) com ênfase nas questões metodológicas das pesquisas brasileiras; e b) testar um modelo de avaliação de efetividade de treinamento, considerando efeitos diretos e indiretos nas relações entre lócus de controle, estratégias para transferir o adquirido e impacto do treinamento no trabalho. A revisão de literatura apresentou um caráter seletivo e enfocou apenas publicações dos periódicos com expressiva produção em comportamento organizacional que obtiveram classificações superiores a B2 no Sistema Qualis da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). Os avanços possíveis que podem ser obtidos principalmente por meio do rigor metodológico no delineamento das pesquisas foram destacados. Os resultados obtidos por meio das análises de regressão lineares usadas na testagem do modelo indicaram que a) indivíduos com níveis mais altos de internalidade reportaram maior percepção do impacto do treinamento no trabalho; e b) efeitos negativos poderão ser anulados se o indivíduo com níveis mais altos de externalidade utilizar estratégias para transferir o adquirido. Assim, tais estratégias exercem um efeito mediador que poderá blindar a influência negativa gerada pelas crenças pessoais relacionadas ao lócus de controle externo. Resultados no contexto da aviação militar poderão ser aprimorados se organizações interessadas em ampliar o impacto do CRM fomentarem o uso de estratégias de aplicação do aprendido. / In the dynamic and complex context of aviation, to recognize effects of Crew Resource Management (CRM) training allows to improve organizational practices that strengthen safety. Meeting that demand, two studies were conducted, aiming to: a) review the literature about evaluation of training, development, and education (TD&E) with emphasis on the methodological questions of Brazilian researches; and b) test a training effectiveness evaluation model, considering direct and indirect effects on the relationship among locus of control, applied learning strategies of training at work and training impact at work. The literature review showed a selective characteristic and focused only articles from journals with an expressive production on organizational behaviour, which obtained better classification than B2 in the evaluation of the Sistema Qualis from Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). Possible advances that can be obtained through methodological rigor in research designs were highlighted. Results from linear regression analysis used in the test of the proposed model indicated that a) people with higher level of internality reported higher perception of work training impact; and b) negative effects can be nullified if people, with higher levels of externality, use applied learning strategies of training at work. Hence, such strategies have a mediator effect that suggests that their application may block possible negative influence generated by personal beliefs related to external locus of control. Outcomes in military aviation context may be improved if organizations encourage the use of applied learning strategies of training at work, in order to increase the CRM impact.

abstract: ABSTRACT This study sought to inform the curriculum of crew resource management (CRM) for multi-pilot flight deck operations. The CRM curriculum requires continued reexamination to ensure safe flight in the changing demographic of flight decks in the US. The study calls attention to the CRM curriculum’s insufficient inclusion of robust training components to address intercultural communication skills and conflict management strategies. Utilizing a phenomenological approach, the study examined the communicative experiences of African American female military and airline transport pilots on the flight deck and within the aviation industry. Co-cultural theory was used as a theoretical framework to investigate these co-researcher’s (pilots) experiences. A parallel goal of the investigation was to better understand raced and gendered communication as they occur in this specific context—the flight deck of US airlines and military aircraft. The researcher conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews and shadowed two co-researchers (pilots) for a period of days and built a relationship with them over the course of one year. Eight years of preparation working in the airline industry situated the researcher for this study. The researcher collected stories and interviews during this time immersed in industry. The data collected offers initial insights into the experiences of non-dominant group members in this unique organizational environment. The study’s findings are reported in the form of a creative/narrative nonfiction essay. This effort was twofold: (1) the narrative served to generate a record of experiences for continued examination and future research and (2) created useful data and information sets accessible to expert and non-expert audiences alike. The data supports rationalization as a co-cultural communication strategy, a recent expansion of the theory. Data also suggests that another strategy—strategic alliance building—may be useful in expanding the scope of co-cultural theory. The proposed assertive assimilation orientation identifies the intentional construct of alliances and warrants further investigation. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Communication 2015

abstract: With this document I will discuss and reflect upon the performance and art exhibition show which I presented as part of my MFA thesis at the MonOrchid Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona on February 10, 2017. The approach to my thesis comes from my perspective as a Hip Hop practitioner exploring the relationship between each artistic discipline that makes up Hip Hop. Through this lens I will show the knowledge that is built from both individual and the conventional collective understandings of Hip Hop. As a practitioner for over 20 years, Hip Hop has molded my mind to be multifaceted, giving me a strong interest in art making as a collaborative process. I believe the more you see the relationship between each medium, the more that connection manifests a larger cognizance for where these art forms can progress. The relationship between all of the mediums involved creates a rhythm; it is the understanding of rhythm that can connect all types of art. When you are able to understand the process of rhythm as a through line, you will be able to create from your own personal rhythmic qualities in all things. This paper will delve into how my thesis performance incorporated not only music production and dance, but the written form of Hip Hop culture (Writing), identity, and the fundamentals of design. I will use the discussion of these forms to explore the similarities of meaning in movement-making behind B-boying, the most fundamental aspect of visual art and in body forms within Hip Hop. My aim was to research what we (the dancers and myself) learned from the movement in conjunction with Writing. I will discuss how many ways this can be beneficial to exploring new interdisciplinary creative collaborations with 
design, visual art, choreography, sculpture, and architecture. Rhythm is the connective tissue between these disciplines in Hip Hop culture. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Dance 2017

Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que buscou verificar se as normas vigentes no Brasil para os alojamentos dos tripulantes de navios mercantes são efetivas em propiciar boas condições de habitabilidade e segurança. O processo utilizado para esta verificação foi o de comparar tais normas com recomendações e determinações de diversas fontes. A opção por este objeto de pesquisa se justifica uma vez que atualmente, após mais de duas décadas de decadência da indústria naval e da frota mercante brasileiras, há um grande número de navios em construção. Além disso, a vida útil dos navios é de aproximadamente trinta anos, o que significa que a inadequação das normas segundo as quais são construídos implicaria em consequências de longo prazo e difíceis de serem revertidas, em função da complexidade dos navios. Por outro lado, a Organização Marítima Internacional e outras fontes citam o projeto dos alojamentos como um dos fatores que podem influenciar no aumento do número de casos e na intensidade da fadiga entre os tripulantes, com reflexos na incidência de erros humanos e, consequentemente, de acidentes marítimos. Um indicador da existência de deficiências na configuração dos espaços de alojamento é o número de acidentes pessoais neles ocorridos, relativamente alto quando comparado com o das áreas de trabalho e operação da embarcação, onde o risco de acidentes é consideravelmente maior. A confrontação das normas vigentes no Brasil com recomendações e determinações das diversas fontes consultadas evidenciou que estas admitem condições mais desfavoráveis do que as aceitas para embarcações destinadas a fins especiais e em navios de algumas marinhas de guerra. Ademais, sua análise revelou que não especificam os níveis considerados apropriados ao conforto térmico, acústico, iluminação e vibrações, o que indica que estão desatualizadas e aponta para a necessidade de sua revisão com base em estudos atuais. / This Master\'s dissertation presents the results of research which seeks to establish whether the prevailing standards for crew accommodation in merchant shipping in Brazil is effective in providing good conditions of habitability and safety. The verification process used was to compare such standards with recommendations and requirements from several different sources. The justification for this choice of research is that following more than two decades of decline in the shipbuilding sector and the Brazilian merchant navy, there are now a large number of ships once more under construction in indigenous shipyards. Since ships have a useful life of approximately thirty years, this means failure to adhere to construction standards would imply long term consequences, difficult to revert in the light of the complexity of vessels. Conversely, the International Maritime Organization as well as other sources, cites the onboard accommodation project as one of the factors that can impact the number of cases of fatigue and its intensity among crew members. This in turn is reflected in the level of human error and consequently, maritime accidents. One indicator of deficiencies in accommodation configuration is the number of personal accidents that occur in them, relatively high compared with onboard working and operational areas where risk of accidents is considerably greater. The comparison of the prevailing standards in Brazil with recommendations and requirements of several sources which have been consulted, revealed that these tolerate conditions which are less favorable than those acceptable in special purpose vessels and in the ships of some navies. Additionally, comparison showed that standards prevailing in Brazil fail to specify the levels deemed appropriate for thermal and acoustic comfort, lighting and vibration. The indication is that such are out-of-date - pointing to a need for review based on current studies.

Crew scheduling is very important, especially in continuous operating environments running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, more so if the demand for staff is varying over each hour of the day. This thesis focuses on staff optimization in a fast food chain where special conditions for scheduling like flexible starting-times and shift lengths or heterogeneous crew are present. Two new models based on a mixed integer programming approach were designed, dealing with data from a particular restaurant with the aim of improving schedules and saving time spent on the creation of those schedules. At the end of the thesis the empiric schedules and results obtained are compared and the computational efficiency of both models is discussed.
