A Survey of Fintech Research and Policy Discussion

Dr. Henry has prepared a very thorough and thoughtful assessment of research needs concerning the relationships between farms and rural communities in the South. He has been true to his reputation—Dr. Henry does not skim lightly over any topic. He has diagnosed the subject area carefully, referenced current literature in his appraisal of research and policy needs, and drawn very defensible conclusions. Better still, his conclusions are basically consistent with my biases. To have one's intuitive conclusions substantiated by the experts is heady stuff indeed. The points in his paper with which I disagreed most consistently were found in extensive quotes from others, so we are clearly both on the right track.

The problem with culture infl uencing research is visible in Nordic alcohol health promotion research. This study includes peer reviewed articles in alcohol health promotion in the Nordic countries and analyses the content of top-down vs. bottomup,and individual vs. community/governmental approaches for health promotion activities. The results shows that Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland tend to aim for reducing alcohol use in general, in order to decrease the incidence of alcohol related problems. Swedish articles are more often top-down, and discuss government regulations for the purpose. The Danish approach is more bottom-up and shows trust in the individuals abilities to take care of his/her health issues. The results from the research cannot serve as a guide for ordinary citizens and there is a need for a policy discussion on these issues in health promotion research, as well as policy circles.

Abstract. Compared with other team settings, flight crew in air transport present a unique situation where the leader or supervisor regularly engages in active control. When the captain is assigned cognitively demanding pilot flying duties, the subordinate and often less experienced first officer must perform equally crucial monitoring and support duties. Using a systematic review methodology, this study reviews the reported effect of crew role assignment on flight safety outcomes. Our review identified 18 relevant studies and suggests crew performance factors linked to flight safety are affected by crew role assignment. Findings suggest a greater number of inherent obstacles may exist for optimal crew performance with the captain as pilot flying, raising the need for further specific research and policy review in this area.
