    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Abstract : The present decade has experienced a boom in public and private interest in climate change. A frequently exposed industry in this debate has been aviation, not least international air transport, the greenhouse gas emissions of which have long remained unregulated. READ MORE

  4. 17. Light-Induced Routes to Sustainable Biocrudes for Fuels and Lubricant Oils

    Author : Leandro Cid Gomes; Henrik Ottosson; Norbert Hoffmann; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Aviation fuels; triplet sensitization; photoacid; renewable energy; photochemistry; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Fossil-based hydrocarbons are at present the ideal compounds for jet fuels and lubricant oils, so their replacement by novel technologies is not easy. Instead, sustainable routes to hydrocarbons, such as sunlight-driven processes, are desired to reduce the environmental impact by the transport sector. READ MORE

  5. 18. Decision Making in Preflight Operations : A study of memory supports and feedback

    Author : Kristina Enflo; Örjan Wikforss; Lena K. Mårtensson; KTH; []
    Keywords : Human Factors; Man-Machine Systems; Decision Making; Decision Support; Feedback; Commercial Aviation; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to explore how support systems enable human control within normal flight operations. The thesis focuses on the use of memory supports during flight, such as a handheld computing device, memory strategies and checklists. The support systems are studied from the theoretical perspective of Human Factors. READ MORE

  6. 19. Cabin Air Quality in Commercial Aircraft : Exposure, Symptoms and Signs

    Author : Torsten Lindgren; Dan Norbäck; Gunilla Wieslander; Jan Sundell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; airline crew; aviation medicine; micro-organism; cabin air quality; air humidity; atopy; occupational exposure; environmental tobacco smoke ETS ; psychosocial work environment; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; arbets- och miljömedicin; Occupational and Environmental Medicine;

    Abstract : The objective of the dissertation was to study the cabin environment, and identify personal and environmental risk factors, associated with symptoms, and perception of cabin air quality. Another objective was to study if ban of smoking, and increased relative air humidity on intercontinental flights, could have a beneficial health effect. READ MORE

  7. 20. Functional Modeling of Constraint Management in Aviation Safety and Command and Control

    Author : Rogier Woltjer; Erik Hollnagel; Kip Smith; René Amalberti; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis has shown that the concept of constraint management is instrumental in understanding the domains of command and control and aviation safety. Particularly, functional modeling as a means to address constraint management provides a basis for analyzing the performance of socio-technical systems. READ MORE
