Human Factors and Aerospace Safety An International Journal: Volume 1

Human Factors and Aerospace Safety An International Journal: Volume 1

This title was first published in 2001. There have been significant advances in the engineering design and production standards of the hardware and electronics in commercial aircraft. It is now uncommon for the principal (or sole) cause of an aircraft accident to be a component failure. Human error is now implicated in up to 80 per cent of all civil and military aviation accidents. The human being is now arguably the least reliable component left in the system. This basic premise forms the basis for this international journal. The journal focuses specifically on the human element in the aerospace system and its role in either causing accidents or incidents or in promoting safety. The journal solicits contributions from both academic researchers and practitioners from industry. Human factors and safety are applied sciences and this is reflected in the tone and composition of the papers in the journal. | Human Factors and Aerospace Safety An International Journal: Volume 1

The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

Focusing on an era that both inherited and irretrievably altered the form and the content of earlier art production The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850-1880 argues that fine art practices and the audiences and markets for them were influenced by the media culture of art publishing and journalism in substantial and formative ways perhaps more than at any other time in the history of English art. The study centers on forms of Victorian picture-making and the art knowledge systems defining them and draws on the histories of art literature journalism and publishing. The historical example employed in the book is that of the more than 800 steel-plate prints after paintings published in the London-based Art-Journal between 1850 and 1880. The cultural phenomenon of the Art Journal print is shown to be a key connector in mid-Victorian art appreciation by drawing out specific tropes of likeness. This study also examines the important links between paint and print; the aesthetic values and domestic aspirations of the Victorian middle class; and the inextricable intertwining of fine art and 'trade' publishing. | The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

Short-term/Working Memory A Special Issue of the International Journal of Psychology

Short-term/Working Memory A Special Issue of the International Journal of Psychology

This special issue of the International Journal of Psychology had its origins in the Quebec 98 Conference on Short-Term Memory held in Quebec City Canada in June 1998. Following this conference participants were invited to submit contributions based on and expanding upon their presentation at this conference. The enthusiastic response made it possible to collect the exciting selection of articles that you will find herein. It must be noted that because of the finite journal space available the editors and reviewers were faced with the difficult problem of selecting only a limited number of the excellent articles that were submitted. The outcome of this process is this special issue which we believe provides an up-to-date overview of current research on short-term/working memory including the challenges controversies and recent theoretical advances in this field. | Short-term/Working Memory A Special Issue of the International Journal of Psychology

Between Habit and Thought in New TV Serial Drama Serial Connections

Between Habit and Thought in New TV Serial Drama Serial Connections

Between Habit and Thought in New TV Serial Drama: Serial Connections is a consideration of some of the key examples of serial television drama available via transnational streaming platforms in recent times. Through the individual works examined the book exemplifies the ways in which aesthetics technology and capitalism weave a complex social fabric around the production of the respective television series thus presenting this type of serial drama as a finely engineered cultural production. Taking Bernard Stiegler’s notion of an image warfare as its starting point the author critically investigates the strategies deployed by the shows’ producers to navigate this dynamic shaped by the new spirit of capitalism. With creativity intrinsic to the process on the one hand and a highly efficient drive for capturing and fixing attention driven by algorithm and economic logic on the other the author maps the processes at work in the production of high-value serial drama and considers how despite this tension they manage to present meaningful insights into the experience of being in this world: A world shaped by trauma a desire for justice and a search for systems of belief that can offer a way through the vicissitudes of contemporary life. Framed by a detailed analysis of the multiple processes that shape these works is a sustained analysis of the serials Mr Robot Billions The Leftovers Rectify and Westworld and the dynamics of despair and hope that ripple through them. As such it will appeal to readers of film and television studies cultural theory and those interested in furthering a critical aesthetics for our time. | Between Habit and Thought in New TV Serial Drama Serial Connections

Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

Student retention continues to be a vexing problem for all colleges and universities. In spite of the money spent on creating programs and services to help retain students until they achieve their academic and personal goals and graduate the figures have not improved over time. This is particularly true for minority students who have a greater attrition rate than majority students. Demographic information shows that the minority population in the United States is growing at a faster rate than the majority. It is imperative that educational institutions find ways to help improve retention rates for all students but particularly minority students. Retention rates should not differ appreciably among different racial/ethnic groups. The Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory and Practice is the only scholarly peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to college student retention. It has published many articles on minority student retention and this topic continues to garner much attention. This book is a compilation of the very best of these articles selected on the basis of reviews by a cadre of experts in the education field. The articles discuss African American Latino/Latina Asian and Asian Pacific Native American and biracial students and institutional commitments to retaining a diverse student population. For those interested in this vital area the collection will teach and inspire them to achieve greater heights and pay additional attention to retaining minority students in our colleges and universities. | Minority Student Retention The Best of the Journal of College Student Retention: Research Theory & Practice

The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A. The Naturalist in H. M. S. Alert 1875-1876

The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A. The Naturalist in H. M. S. Alert 1875-1876

The British Arctic Expedition of 1875–6 was the first major British naval expedition to the high Arctic where science was almost as important as geographical exploration. There were hopes that the expedition might find the hypothetical open polar sea and with it the longed-for Northwest Passage and it did reach the highest northern latitude to date. The Royal Society compiled instructions for the expedition and selected two full-time naturalists (an unusual naval concession to science) of whom one Henry Wemyss Feilden proved a worthy choice. Feilden was a soldier who fought in most of the wars in his lifetime including the American Civil War on the Confederate side. On board HMS Alert he kept a daily journal a record important for its scientific content but also as a view of the expedition as seen by a soldier revealing admiration and appreciation for his naval colleagues; he performed whatever tasks were given to him including the rescue of returning sledge parties stricken by scurvy. He also did a remarkably comprehensive job in mapping the geology of Smith Sound; some of his work on the Cape Rawson Beds was the most reliable until the 1950s. He was an all-round naturalist and a particularly fine geologist and ornithologist. He was not just a collector; he pondered the significance of his findings within the context of the best modern science of his day: in zoology Charles Darwin on evolution; in botany Hooker on phytogeography and in geology Charles Lyell’s system. He illustrated his journal with his own sketches and also enclosed the printed programmes of popular entertainments held on the ship and verses for birthdays and sledging (there was a printing press onboard). The journal gives a vigorous impression of a ship’s company well occupied through the winter then increasingly active in sledging and geographical discovery in spring before the scurvy-induced decision to head home in the summer of 1876. After his return Feilden had dealings with many scientists and their institutions finding homes for and meaning in his collections. | The Arctic Journal of Captain Henry Wemyss Feilden R. A.

Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

This collection of articles is an outgrowth of the Death Dying Bereavement and Widowhood Interest Group of the Gerontological Society of America and comprises empirical accounts of several distinct family losses: the death of a spouse sibling parent child and grandchild. These articles represent normative and non-normative losses; the juxtaposition of short-term and long- term bereavement reactions; cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons; sociological psychological and psycholinguistic research paradigms; national and regional level data; and qualitative and quantitative analytic strategies. The articles and their approaches are as diverse and varied as are the experiences they describe yet each contributes something of value to the more singular and superordinate goal of understanding kinship bereavement in the later years. | Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

Public Relations From the Margins A Special Issue of the Journal of Public Relations Research

The articles in this special issue address some of the key issues facing research and practice of public relations today. These studies acknowledge the traditional mainstream public relations research arguments for excellence in public relations according to the symmetry model and to considerations of the dominant coalition controlling the organization. What are proposed in this issue are responses to these assumptions and suggestions that what might be important to consider are the socio-political context that surrounds the organization and the notion that power exists in other sites besides the dominant coalition. These articles are-in essence-a conversation or give-and-take between established beliefs and new possibilities for understanding public relations. Further these studies' important theoretical contribution is their expression in real life situations and case study applications. | Public Relations From the Margins A Special Issue of the Journal of Public Relations Research
