Introduction

The introduction begins with the story of a fatal airline flight and how commercial airlines—unlike addiction treatment professionals—learn from their mistakes. This chapter sets the stage for a discussion of how the addiction treatment industry regularly fails to safely transport patients to their final destination: sustained long-term recovery. The addiction treatment industry operates without performance measures to evaluate the effectiveness of therapists or how well their patients are progressing. While there are many treatment system failures, all the blame is placed on the patient, none on the provider of care. This book is an attempt to initiate a shift to heightened accountability and measured performance.

Daily fluctuations in aircraft noise exposure around civil airports and military airfields in Japan

In Japan, yearly average of (day-evening-night sound level) as cumulative noise index has been adopted in national noise guideline of "Environmental Quality Standards for Aircraft Noise." Daily flight movements at civil airports are almost stable because of scheduled airline flight. On the other, daily total flight movements at military airfields greatly change day to day because of training flights, etc. Thus, noise exposure around the airport may change significantly from day to day due to change of flight movement. This paper shows examples of fluctuations, frequency distribution and deviation of daily using aircraft noise monitoring data around civil airports and military airfields. In the case of civil airports, standard deviation of daily was less than 5 dB at the monitoring stations where the yearly average of were about 55 dB or more. However, the standard deviation of daily increased 10 dB or more in some cases at points where yearly average of less than 55 dB. Furthermore, in the case of military airfields, the standard deviation of daily were 5 dB or more for all monitoring stations.

Integrated Dataset of Brazilian Flights

The Brazilian commercial aviation system achieved the first position among Latin American countries and the fifteenth place worldwide on the Revenue Passenger-Kilometer ranking. The availability of flight information, including meteorological conditions, enables studies about the Brazilian flight system, such as flight delays and timetabling. Therefore, this paper contributes to such studies by offering an integrated dataset containing data on departure and arrival for flights departing and arriving at Brazilian airports comprising the period from 2000 to 2019. This paper presents a dataset composed of 15, 505, 922 records of flight data, each containing 45 attributes. The attributes include data regarding the airline, flight, airports, meteorological conditions, scheduled and elapsed times for departure and arrival.

Burnout syndrome of airline crews during crisis and Covid 19 in the world and Turkey

Airline employees also carry the risk of losing their jobs in times of crisis that closely affect the aviation industry. Therefore, it is important to investigate the burnout syndrome experienced by airline workers in times of crisis. This study aims to evaluate the burnout syndrome of airlines. Findings show that airline flight crews who experienced high levels of burnout syndrome during normal periods experienced less burnout syndrome during crisis periods. It is understood that the reason for this situation is that they cling to their jobs more tightly against the risk of losing their jobs.

One-Way Ticket Man

Bradbury’s long association with WED (later Walt Disney Imagineers) resulted in the 1982 opening of EPCOT and the Spaceship Earth geodetic sphere that he had worked on for more than a decade. Chapter 17 describes the milestones of Bradbury’s participation in Spaceship Earth’s ride display, themes, and audio narration, and his opening-day experiences at Disney World. This cross-country trip included rail and automobile mishaps, and Disney executives, including Roy Disney, were able to convince Bradbury to return to Los Angeles by way of his first airline flight. Chapter 17 includes brief context for the Disney Studio filming of his novel Something Wicked This Way Comes.
