Airport planners, in determining the long-term development of an airport's infrastructure, estimate future use of the airport by using two loose categories of methods: ( a) peer group learning and ( b) forecasting. In peer group learning, airport planners compare their airports with like airports and engage in peer-to-peer exchange of information about lessons learned from past experiences and technical and planning guidance. The blend of quantitative and qualitative methodologies can be a powerful tool for airport planners because the planners can validate their forecasts with the actual experiences at similar airports. In the current state of the aviation industry, airport planners must engage in peer group learning because the environment in which they are planning their airports is more volatile than it was previously; however, while forecasting has been well studied by scholars and airport planners, peer group learning has attracted relatively less attention. Given the role of peer group learning in airport planning, airport planners must pay careful attention to how they define their peers in ever-evolving economic and industrial environments. Since deregulation of the airline industry in the 1970s, the airport system has become much more nuanced and is no longer easily defined, while airport planners often resort to single metrics such as enplanements as a peer criterion. This study developed and tested a peer identification methodology that reflects volatilities in the economy and the airport industry by using an expanded list of both static and dynamic metrics. This methodology highlights an important lesson that metrics matter in the ways in which airports identify their peers, benchmark their performance, and help to improve their plans.

Abstract Background Scholars agree that Torbjörn Caspersson’s lab at the Institute of Medical Cell Research and Genetics at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, played a key role in the first description of the so-called Q-banding technique. It laid the foundation for a new era of cytogenetic diagnostics and had a lasting impact in several areas of biology and medicine. Methods Based on a mixed-method approach, essential aspects of the history of human cytogenetics are considered via primary and secondary analysis of biographical interviews as well as the qualitative evaluation of bibliometrics. Drawing on interviews with colleagues of lab member Lore Zech (1923–2013) and contemporary publications, this paper illuminates the role of and contribution by Zech: To what extent is the discovery attached to her and what does her legacy look like today? Results The analysis of the contemporary witness interviews with colleagues, students and junior researchers shows that Lore Zech was a committed member of Caspersson's research group. In addition, memoirs by contemporary colleagues describe her outstanding skills in microscopy. The different sources paint a multifaceted picture. In addition to the historians' patterns of interpretation, different legacies can also be found within the peer group. Conclusions We argue that Zech represent the type of scientist who, although her research was acknowledged with several prizes, so far has not been part of the canon of pioneers of international cytogenetics.

More environmentally friendly aircraft designs, particularly with regard to noise, was a Technology for a Quieter America (TQA) workshop hosted by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) held in May 2017. This workshop titled "Commercial Aviation: A New Era", centered on the importance of commercial aviation to the U.S. economy, and what it will take for the U.S. to maintain global leadership in the aviation sector, including a forward-looking topic on more environmentally friendly aircraft designs. A principal focus of the workshop was the necessary step-changes in aircraft engineering technology that must be addressed with the development and testing of flight demonstrators together with significantly increased funding of public-private partnerships. Government agencies which participated included NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). There was also substantial participation from the aviation industry, airports, airlines, non-government organizations and academia.

Open skies policy is a concept of free market of airline industry. It eliminates single government’s influence in regulation and management of aviation industry. As implemented by the ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASEAN-SAM) per 2015, the open skies policy aims to increase regional connectivity and regional economic growth by permitting airline industries from each ASEAN member states to fly above the Southeast Asian region without any barriers or restrictions. This policy has raised pros and cons from each ASEAN member state. Indonesia and some other states are still reluctant to adopt the open skies policy. By entering into commercial agreement to open their airspace, each member states will challenge their state sovereignty over the airspace above a state’s territory. This study argues that regional open skies policy provides greater economic advantages for the consumers of airline industry. However, this policy does not parallel to the basic principles of ASEAN. State sovereignty must be preserved in the liberalization that open skies represents. ASEAN Way, though inflexible, assigns member states with full sovereignty, which does not limit open skies policy implementation. This study, then, proposed legal framework through model of regional agreement to compromise between the state sovereignty principles and the regional open skies policy.

Abstract Introduction As the role of robot-assisted surgery continues to expand, development of standardised and validated training programmes is becoming increasingly important. We aim to compare current robotic training curricula with training in aviation, to evaluate current similarities and to provide insight into how healthcare can further learn from replicating initiatives in aviation training. Methods A systematic literature review of the current evidence was conducted online and relevant publications and information were identified. Evaluation and comparison between training in robotic surgery and the aviation industry was performed. Results There are significant similarities between modern robotic training curricula and pilot training. Both undergo basic training before proceeding to advanced training. Aviation training methods include classroom instruction, e-learning and practical training, in both the aircraft and flight simulation training devices. Both surgeon and pilot training include technical and procedural instruction as well as training in non-technical skills such as crisis management, decision making, leadership and communication. However, there is more regulation in aviation, with international standards for training curricula, simulation devices and instructors/trainers that are legally binding. Continuous learning with re-qualification with benchmarked high stakes tests are also mandatory throughout a pilot’s and instructor’s career. Conclusion Robotic surgeons and pilots roles have many fundamental similarities. Both work with expensive and complex technology requiring high levels of skills, within working environments with high physiological and psychological stress levels. Whilst many initiatives in aviation training have already been replicated in surgical training there remain considerable differences in regulation. Adopting established and proven aviation methods of assessment and regulation could help robotic surgical training become more efficient, more effective and ultimately safer.
