In the time of globalization and the continuous travelling of people between different parts of the world, air transportation is becoming one of the most important modes of transport. Nevertheless, it is crucial to continuously improve the level of safety and reduce the absolute number of accidents and their victims. The risk analysis with the usage of IT system TURAWA, which was developed to collect the aircraft’s accidents informations, has been discussed in the presented article. Calculation of risk is based on the data sample collected in the operation process. The implementation of the risk of potential failure event in TURAWA is presented and compared with the prediction of such situation by the decision trees. It has been concluded that models should be developed, which cause in the elimination of the human factor from the decision making chain.

Air transportation has grown in an unexpected way during last decades and is expected to increase even more in the next years. Traffic growth tendencies forecast an expansion in the demand and greater aviation connectivity, but also higher workload to the different airspace users, especially for airport and services. Therefore, it is essential to employ strategies designed to use efficiently valuable corporate resource. Airport authorities around the world are investing in large capital projects, including new or improved runways, terminal expansions, and entirely new airports. However, this effort is sometimes limited due to their geographic location. In this work, two main objectives are pursued: first, to highlight the importance of the industry by exposing the current situation and future trends all over the world focusing in the Mexican industry; and second, to introduce a simulation model which can be used as a decision making tool for the upcoming demand. The analysis of the scenarios illustrates how to develop strategies to cope with the different airspace user's needs.

This article is devoted to the systematization and critical analysis of the experience of various countries of the world in organizing the population evacuation from areas of various techno-logical disasters: accidents at radiation-hazardous objects and chemical facilities, as well as dam failures. The article provides an assessment of the role of public notification about the danger, speed and awareness of decision-making by the responsible authorities, prepared-ness of the infrastructure for transportation and resettlement of a large number of people in successful evacuation and minimization of human losses and the number of injured. A distin-guishing feature of technological disasters is the suddenness of the deployment due to the predominant impact of the human factor. In this connection, recommendations are given re-garding the need for preventive preparation of the population and infrastructure for potential disasters in threatened areas.

Family businesses constitute a large portion of successful enterprises in India, as it does in different parts of the world. In its journey from a founder-driven small entity to a professionally run organisation, one key transformation it has to go through is the process of ‘institutionalisation’. The human resource (HR) leader plays a key role in this process. An exploration of the role the HR function has to play during the various phases of this transformation journey could serve as a guide to HR professionals building their careers with family businesses. Our effort has been to develop a model which could work along with validated tools which measure the influence a family could have on a business. We hope that such knowledge would prepare the HR leader to be better prepared to play the role of a partner during the evolution of the organisation into a professionally run entity.

The term ‘ethics committees’ is used for very different things in different parts of the world. In Europe, ethics committees are generally concerned only with research and (apart from Belgium where the same committees deal with both aspects) do not have anything to do with decision making in clinical situations. This article traces the history of ethics committees in the UK and some of the problems encountered by them. It goes on to detail the situation in a number of other European countries. Some topics of research touched on and published in articles in Nursing Ethics are then highlighted, thus making it clear that it is written from my perspective as the Editor of Nursing Ethics and with the help of some of the members of the Editorial Board. Finally, a number of questions are asked and answers attempted concerning the interests served by ethics committees.

In this paper we discuss the scientific basis of risk analysis, when a Bayesian approach is the foundation of the analysis. We argue that the analysis cannot be judged by reference to the traditional science paradigms alone, such as the natural sciences, social sciences, mathematics and probability theory. There is a need for recognitions of a risk analysis science which is related to the establishment of principles, methods and models to analysis, describe and communicate risk, in a decision-making context. The "goodness" of these principles, methods and models cannot be evaluated by reference to the accuracy in describing the world, as risk analysis is a tool for expressing and communicating uncertainty about the world. Empirical control is only relevant to some degree. An example of a risk analysis of an offshore installation is used to illustrate important issues.

ABSTRACT A reference standard is widely sought for use in the quantitative bioassay of pituitary gonadotrophin recovered from urine. The biologic similarity of pooled urinary extracts obtained from large numbers of subjects, utilizing groups of different age and sex, preparing and assaying the materials by varying techniques in different parts of the world, has lead to a general acceptance of such preparations as international gonadotrophin reference standards. In the present study, however, the extract of pooled urine from a small number of young women is shown to produce a significantly different bioassay response from that of the reference materials. Gonadotrophins of individual subjects likewise varied from the multiple subject standards in many instances. The cause of these differences is thought to be due to the modifying influence of non-hormonal substances extracted from urine with the gonadotrophin and not necessarily to variations in the gonadotrophins themselves. Such modifying factors might have similar effects in a comparative assay of pooled extracts contributed by many subjects, but produce significant variations when material from individual subjects is compared. It is concluded that the expression of potency of a gonadotrophic extract in terms of pooled reference material to which it is not essentially similar may diminish rather than enhance the validity of the assay.

This book charts the transformation of one of the world's great religions during an age marked by world wars, genocide, nationalism, decolonization, and powerful ideological currents, many of them hostile to Christianity. The book traces how Christianity evolved from a religion defined by the culture and politics of Europe to the expanding polycentric and multicultural faith it is today—one whose growing popular support is strongest in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China, and other parts of Asia. The book sheds critical light on themes of central importance for understanding the global contours of modern Christianity, illustrating each one with contrasting case studies, usually taken from different parts of the world. Unlike other books on world Christianity, this one is not a regional survey or chronological narrative, nor does it focus on theology or ecclesiastical institutions. The book provides a history of Christianity as a popular faith experienced and lived by its adherents, telling a compelling and multifaceted story of Christendom's fortunes in Europe, North America, and across the rest of the globe. It demonstrates how Christianity has had less to fear from the onslaughts of secularism than from the readiness of Christians themselves to accommodate their faith to ideologies that privilege racial identity or radical individualism.
