This paper presents and discusses data on the proficiency loss of Army helicopter pilots following no-flying periods of one year or longer. On two separate occasions, a group of 24 Army Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) aviators were retrained on each of 37 contact flying tasks in the UH-1 helicopter. The first retraining occurred shortly after the aviators joined the IRR Aviator Training Program. At that time, the aviators had not engaged in active-duty flying for periods ranging from 2 to 12 years; the median duration of the no-flying was 9.3 years. All IRR aviators were retrained a second time—on the same 37 contact flying tasks—one year after completing the first retraining period. The primary dependent variable was aircraft hours required to achieve proficiency on all flying tasks. In addition, each aviator's proficiency on each flying task was rated at the beginning and at the end of each retraining period. The results show that, on the average, the number of flying hours that IRR aviators required to regain proficiency was 16.2 hours for the first training period and 13.8 for the second period. The number of flight hours required to retrain aviators was found to be inversely related to the total number of flying hours an aviator accumulated while on active duty. The ratings on pretraining checkrides showed that no aviator was proficient prior to either training period; however, proficiency was rated considerably less at the outset of the first training period than at the outset of the second. When considered together with the results of other recent research on flight proficiency loss, the results of this study suggest that there may be a “critical period” of no flying during which an operationally important loss of flight proficiency occurs.

Study Design: Retrospective survey. Objectives: Purpose of this study was to explore whether bowel and bladder management can be influenced by locomotion therapy with HAL Robot Suit. Methods: 35 subjects with acute (< one year since injury, n = 13) or chronic (> one year since injury, n = 22) incomplete paraplegia (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) B, n = 1 / AIS C, n = 22 / AIS D, n = 7) or complete paraplegia (AIS A, n = 5) with zones of partial preservation (ZPP) participated. A retrospective survey was carried out asking for bowel incontinence (Wexner Score), constipation (Cleveland Clinic Constipation Scoring System (CCCS)) and bladder function (self-developed questionnaire) before and after completing a training period of 12 weeks with HAL. Results: Wexner Score over all patients and for group of chronic patients decreased significantly. For group of acute patients Wexner Score decreased insignificantly. Patients from both groups with higher baseline scores could decrease significantly. CCCS was insignificantly reduced for all patients, group of acute and group of chronic patients. For subgroup of chronic patients with higher baseline scores, CCCS decreased at end of training period missing out significance. The self-developed questionnaire showed an improvement in bladder function in 28.24% of all patients, 31.43% of chronic patients, and 23.08% of acute patients. Conclusions: Our findings show trends of enhanced bladder and bowel function following exoskeleton training. Patients with higher baseline scores in Wexner Score and CCCS seem to benefit more than those with mild to moderate scores.

The Royal College of Nursing recently published a book in their research series entitled Nursing in Behavioural Psychotherapy (Marks et al., 1977) which reviewed developments in the field. Operational research into nurse-therapy began in 1972 at the Maudsley Hospital. Out of this a national course was formalized in 1975 by the Joint Board of Clinical Nursing Studies for England and Wales (Course No. 650). Although the formal course lasts 18 months, it is now possible to shorten the training period to one year, followed by six months of lightly supervised practice working in settings away from the training centre. Currently there are two recognized training centres, at the Bethlem/Maudsley and Graylingwell Hospitals, and moves are afoot to start a third programme elsewhere.

The College and the Joint Committee on Higher Psychiatric Training have recently considered part-time training in psychiatry. Although it is recognized that it may not always be possible, it is recommended that the training period should include at least one year of full-time training, though this is not mandatory. The conditions for part-time training are set out under two headings.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and implement methods for benchmarking the food safety and hygiene between retail outlets at the same time or at the same retail outlets at different times. Design/methodology/approach A tailor made questionnaire for the collection of food safety and hygiene remarks was designed to be applied in a large chain of retail outlets. The remarks were classified in the five categories of the Ishikawa model (materials, methods, personnel, equipment and environment). The retail outlets were located all over Greece and the audits were performed in a one-year term. Food safety experts were used as auditors after a six-month training period. The data collected were subject to analysis of the benchmarking scores and to cluster analysis to identify regions with similar food safety profiles. Findings Polar charts were used to illustrate the benchmarking scores for each of the five categories of evaluation per auditing period at the retail outlets. Another polar chart illustrates the benchmarking scores for each of the 12 regions of Greece. Cluster analysis demonstrates that some regions, like Ionian Islands and South Aegean, have similar profiles on food safety for the retail outlets. Originality/value The developed methodology can be used by retail companies with several outlets or by a group or an association of companies in order to identify problematic sectors and to set priorities while dealing with issues of food safety and hygiene. The work is limited to the Greek outlets but the methodology has potential application to every other country.

The aim of the study is to analyze the level of swimming training for athletes who have mastered the techniques of swimming styles with a marked sporting focus. The effectiveness of the training was determined by the achieved growth rate of the test results at the end of the training period of one year. We have defined the efficiency of the training thanks to the positive test results from the conduced test by the end of the training period for the year. The test contained physical and swimming exercises.The results from these exercises show that 1) our training process has been carried out correctly which is the reason for the high test results at the end of the year; 2) The analyze from the results could be used for children with high sport perspectives.In conclusion ,the children’s swimming training has positively influenced the following directions: Positive physical changes have been achieved; Interest is swimming sport had been created; The techniques of various auxiliary and specially preparatory exercises are mastered; Techiques of swimming styles are built.

Background: International clinical teleconferencing connecting hospitals contributes to the standardisation of medical care. Introduction: The perception that participating in international teleconferences is easy while hosting and coordinating them is difficult has limited the expansion of these kinds of programmes. We evaluated the effectiveness of a Train-the-Trainer (TtT) programme on hosting international multiparty teleconferences targeted at hospital engineers. Methods: From 2015 to 2017, 20 engineers and physicians from 17 institutions in 10 countries participated in Kyushu University Hospital’s TtT programme. Hands-on training and hosting a Training Report Conference (TRC) were conducted. The impact of the programme was assessed using questionnaires about the participants’ confidence, perception of barriers, and teleconference activity before and one year after the training period. Results: The mean training period was 16.7 days (median, 19 days). Twelve TRCs were hosted by trainees connecting 56 institutions in 11 countries. All participants gave positive evaluations of the overall programme, 19 (95%) "very good" and 1 (5%) "good", and the trainers 9 (90%) "very good" and 1 (10%) "good"). Following the TtT programme, the mean number of trainee-hosted events increased significantly (0.8 to 1.3, p<0.001), and more respondents (12/17, 71%) reported barriers to hosting a programme than participating in one (5/17, 29%, p<0.001). Trainee confidence in both hosting and participating in international teleconferences was significantly higher after TtT. Conclusion: There are more barriers to hosting than participating in international clinical teleconferences. This TtT programmes for engineers could contribute to more active hosting engagement.

In August of 1587 Manteo, an Indian from Croatoan Island, joined a group of English settlers in an attack on the native village of Dasemunkepeuc, located on the coast of present-day North Carolina. These colonists, amongst whom Manteo lived, had landed on Roanoke Island less than a month before, dumped there by a pilot more interested in hunting Spanish prize ships than in carrying colonists to their intended place of settlement along the Chesapeake Bay. The colonists had hoped to re-establish peaceful relations with area natives, and for that reason they relied upon Manteo to act as an interpreter, broker, and intercultural diplomat. The legacy of Anglo-Indian bitterness remaining from Ralph Lane's military settlement, however, which had hastily abandoned the island one year before, was too great for Manteo to overcome. The settlers found themselves that summer in the midst of hostile Indians.

The High Voltage Electron Microscope Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin has been in operation a little over one year. I would like to give a progress report about our experience with this new technique. The achievement of good resolution with thick specimens has been mainly exploited so far. A cold stage which will allow us to look at frozen specimens and a hydration stage are now being installed in our microscope. This will soon make it possible to study undehydrated specimens, a particularly exciting application of the high voltage microscope.Some of the problems studied at the Madison facility are: Structure of kinetoplast and flagella in trypanosomes (J. Paulin, U. of Georgia); growth cones of nerve fibers (R. Hannah, U. of Georgia Medical School); spiny dendrites in cerebellum of mouse (Scott and Guillery, Anatomy, U. of Wis.); spindle of baker's yeast (Joan Peterson, Madison) spindle of Haemanthus (A. Bajer, U. of Oregon, Eugene) chromosome structure (Hans Ris, U. of Wisconsin, Madison). Dr. Paulin and Dr. Hanna are reporting their work separately at this meeting and I shall therefore not discuss it here.
