Knowledge graphs are useful sources for various AI applications, however the basic paradigm to support pilot training is still unclear. In the paper, It is proposed to generate the customized knowledge graph of flight trainings using machine learning method for the flight training program. In order to provide the successful key to the further understanding of the learning problems between the students and the instructors. In this research, we collected data from an aeronautical academic in Taiwan that students were trained for Recreation Pilot License Program. We performed a test on 24 students at the first of each training course, 16 data of collected been used on building the module, 8 of them used to exam the module. There are 12 courses in the training program, and 30 hours total time were suggested by academic. The score which we applied on test were based on LCG method which is the sum of Maneuver and SRM Grades. For the indicators of course component in Learner Centered Grading, namely (a) CCS1: Operation & Effect of Controls; (b) CCS2: Straight & Level; (c) CCS3: Climbing & Descending; (d) CCS4: Turning; (e) CCS5: Stalling; (f) CCS6: Revision; (g) CCS7: Circuits; (h) CCS8: Cross-Wind Training; (i) CCS9: Circuit Emergency; (j) CCS10: Solo Circuit; (k) CCS11: Forced Landing; and (l) CCS12: Precautionary & Searching Landing. Through the method of Knowledge Graph, we deduct and predict the number of hours that need to be added for each student’s learning. Using the dynamic knowledge graph to display the key issues of the course learning continuously, and make follow-up decisions for the students, instructors and airliners.

Four mothers of children with a variety of communication disorders received training in behavior change techniques at a two-day workshop. The goal was to teach the mothers to use a specific instructional approach which involved an antecedent-behavior-consequence paradigm. For each case, specific child and parental behaviors were determined by a speech pathologist. Follow-up was accomplished by mail and telephone contact. Positive changes occurred in three of the four children over a two- to three-month period. Such an approach should be useful where speech pathology services are limited or where daily treatment is required.

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore whether a full cost flight training device (FTD) was significantly better for simulator training than a low cost PC-Based Aviation Training Device (PCATD). Background: A quasi-transfer study was undertaken to ascertain whether a Civil Aviation Authority certified Flight Training Device (FTD) was more effective at improving pilot proficiency in the performance of a standard VFR traffic pattern (Overhead Rejoin Procedure) than a customised low cost PCATD. Methodology: In this quasi-transfer study, a high fidelity FTD rather than an aircraft was used to test both training and transfer tasks. Ninety-three pilots were recruited to participate in the study. Contribution: The use of PCATDs is now well established for pilot training, especially for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) skills training. However, little substantive research has been undertaken to examine their efficacy for VFR training. Findings: There was no evidence of a pre-test/post-test difference in VFR task perfor-mance between participants trained on the PCATD and the FTD, when post tested on the FTD. The use of both PCATD and FTD demonstrated signifi-cant improvements in VFR task performance compared to a control group that received no PCATD or FTD training. Recommendations for Practitioners : We discuss the possibility that low cost PCATDs may be a viable alternative for flight schools wishing to use a flight simulator but not able to afford a FTD. Recommendation for Researchers: We discuss the introduction of improved low cost technologies that allow PCATDs to be used more effectively for training in VFR procedures. The development and testing of new technologies requires more research. Impact on Society: Flight training schools operate in a difficult economic environment with continued increases in the cost of aircraft maintenance, compliance costs, and aviation fuel. The increased utilisation of low cost PCATD’s especially for VFR instruction could significantly reduce the overall cost of pilot training Future Research: A new study is being undertaken to compare the effectiveness of a PCATD and a FTD at training transfer of other VFR task procedures such as forced landing training, forced landing after take-off, and low-level navigation exercises.

AbstractWorking memory (WM) is a fundamental cognitive function that typically declines with age. Previous studies have shown that targeted WM training has the potential to improve WM performance in older adults. In the present study, we investigated whether a multi-domain cognitive training program that was not designed to specifically target WM could improve the behavioral performance and affect the neural activity during WM retrieval in healthy older adults. We assigned healthy older participants (70–78 years old) from a local community into a training group who completed a 3-month multi-domain cognitive training and a control group who only attended health education lectures during the same period. Behavioral and electroencephalography (EEG) data were recorded from participants while performing an untrained delayed match or non-match to category task and a control task at a pre-training baseline session and a post-training follow-up session. Behaviorally, we found that participants in the training group showed a trend toward greater WM performance gains than participants in the control group. Event-related potential (ERP) results suggest that the task-related modulation of P3 during WM retrieval was significantly enhanced at the follow-up session compared with the baseline session, and importantly, this enhancement of P3 modulation was only significant in the training group. Furthermore, no training-related effects were observed for the P2 or N2 component during WM retrieval. These results suggest that the multi-domain cognitive training program that was not designed to specifically target WM is a promising approach to improve WM performance in older adults, and that training-related gains in performance are likely mediated by an enhanced modulation of P3 which might reflect the process of WM updating.

The Opinions About Mental Illness Scale was administered to 28 psychiatric aides who were followed up 24 to 39 mo. after completion of a basic aide training program. Changes in attitude after training were stable at follow-up on three factors. Data suggested that the unfavorable change on one factor was associated with the post-training work experience of these aides.

The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between reactions of cadets during simulated high altitude in a decompression chamber and the later development of anxiety toward flying as reported in terminal interviews. The results for 1540 cadets indicated that significantly more of those who withdrew because of anxiety toward flying had anxiety reactions in the decompression chamber than of those who completed the Naval Air Training Program.

BACKGROUND Caring for children with cancer can be a stressful experience for parents and may have negative effects on their physical and psychological well-being. Although evidence has shown that resilience is associated with positive psychological well-being, few interventions have been specifically designed to enhance the resilience of parents of children with cancer. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a mobile device–based resilience training program in reducing depressive symptoms and enhancing resilience and quality of life (QoL) in parents of children with cancer. METHODS Parents of children diagnosed with cancer were recruited from the pediatric oncology wards of 3 tertiary hospitals in China. The participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (52/103, 50.5%) to undergo an 8-week mobile device–based resilience training program or to the control group (51/103, 49.5%) to receive an 8-week program of placebo information. The study outcomes included resilience, depressive symptoms, and QoL, as measured by the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, the Self-Rating Depression Scale, and the Short Form of the 6-Dimension Health Survey, respectively. All data were collected at baseline and at 2 and 6 months of follow-up. The data analysis followed the intention-to-treat principle. A generalized estimating equation was used to examine the effects of the intervention. RESULTS The participants were mostly female (72/103, 69.9%), and their mean age was 33.6 (SD 5.2) years. The participants in the experimental group showed significantly higher levels of resilience (mean 67.96, SD 15.8 vs mean 58.27, SD 19.0; <i>P</i><.001) and lower levels of depressive symptoms (mean 40.17, SD 9.9 vs mean 46.04, SD 10.9; <i>P</i><.001) than those in the control group at 6 months of follow-up. The intervention showed statistically significant effects in improving resilience (<i>β</i>=6.082; <i>P</i>=.01) and decreasing depressive symptoms (<i>β</i>=−2.772; <i>P</i>=.04) relative to the control group. The QoL score in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group at 6 months of follow-up (mean 0.79, SD 0.2 vs mean 0.76, SD 0.3; <i>P</i>=.07); however, no statistically significant intervention effect was detected (<i>β</i>=.020; <i>P</i>=.38). CONCLUSIONS The mobile device–based resilience training program effectively enhanced resilience and alleviated depressive symptoms in parents of children with cancer. It is highly recommended that health care professionals incorporate this resilience training program when providing psychological care to parents of children with cancer.
