A hybrid model for human-factor analysis of engine-room fires on ships: HFACS-PV&FFTA

Leadership dimensions and their relation to recruit satisfaction and performance were studied in 73 company commanders. Recruits completed questionnaires assessing company commanders' behaviors and recruits' attitudes. Factor analysis yielded four factors, Human, Informative, Warm, and Effective Communicator. The Human and Warm factors were consistent with interpersonal components found in prior research, but the Informative and Effective Communicator factors were only marginally consistent with task components found previously. Correlations were computed between the factors and the satisfaction and performance of recruits. All factors correlated significantly with recruits' satisfaction, but only the Human factor correlated significantly (negatively) with recruits' performance. Possible reasons for the lack of a traditional task component are discussed.

Ergonomic Evaluation

<p><span lang="EN-US">Considering the importance of the ergonomic aspect for information systems in providing an easy use of the computing systems, this paper focuses on the elaboration of a hybrid model for the ergonomic evaluation of information systems that merges a set of inspection dimensions such as accessibility, practicality, emotionality, and technological persuasion. Details on how the model has been constructed and data have been collected are presented. For the evaluation of our model, a situation of an information system for scientific research (SIMArech) in Moroccan Universities has been studied. This model can be used by ergonomist and human factor professionals. It is found that the proposed heuristics can effectively assess the most important dimensions of scientific research information systems.</span></p>

One of the most important things about life safety is the implementation of appropriate means and measures to create and maintain healthy and safe living conditions and human activities both in everyday life and during emergencies. The human factor as a factor in life safety can be the main source of danger. A person's readiness for responsible constructive behaviour is formed due to the influence of organisational culture of the enterprise, as well as information space. The authors aimed to investigate the role of moral attitudes of young people and their readiness for constructive social interaction. The study took place in the 2019-2020 academic year at Lviv Polytechnic National University. The empirical study involved 535 students. The questionnaire was carried out. Factor analysis identified six factors. It was established that most students have consumeristic, authoritarian and destructive ideas, therefore their reactions to the actions of life safety specialists aimed at introducing labour safety technologies are reduced to formal observation.

Design Weight

In a series of experiments, canes of different lengths, weights, and weight distributions were assessed to determine the effect of these characteristics on various performance measures. The results indicate that the overall weight of a cane and the distribution of weight along a cane's shaft do not affect a person's performance, but accuracy does decline with the amount of time a person wields the cane, so a heavier cane may exacerbate this fatigue.
