The objective of the study was to compare the results of aviation accident analyses performed by the Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aviation Accidents (CENIPA) with the method Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). The final reports of thirty-six general aviation accidents occurring between 2000 and 2005 in the State of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil were analyzed and compared. CENIPA reports mentioned 163 contributive factors, while HFACS identified 370 factors. It was concluded that CENIPA reports did not contemplate the organizational factors associated with aviation accidents.

Aero-engines, particularly turbofan engines, are highly complex systems that play a critical role in the aviation industry. As core components of modern aircraft, they provide the thrust necessary for flight and are essential for safe and efficient operations. However, the complexity and interconnected nature of these engines also make them vulnerable to failures and, in the context of intelligent systems, potential cyber-attacks.

This article examines the dual effects of occupational health and safety cost (OHSC) fluctuations due to the occupational accident number (OAN), and the impact of the OAN on operating period costs (OPCs). Initially, OHSCs, OANS and other operational data from the company were compiled to build a foundational infrastructure. Subsequently, econometric analysis using regression techniques was conducted to identify relationships between OHSCs and OANs, and between OHSCs and OPCs.

Numerous risky driving behaviours are considered the main causes of road accidents. Meanwhile, a number of studies conducted so far indicate that perceiving a higher risk in a certain behaviour is associated with a lower tendency to engage in that behaviour. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to examine whether there are differences in specific types of risky behaviours behind the wheel in relation to drivers' perceptions of road risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common and serious issue in infants and toddlers, often resulting from falls or traffic incidents; due to ethical constraints, piglet heads are used in place of human children for research purposes.* -
  • A detailed finite element (FE) model of a 4-week-old piglet head was created to study its mechanical properties and validate the model through various tests, including quasi-static compression and dynamic impact tests.* -
  • The simulation results demonstrated high accuracy, with average errors of 12.9% for contact force and 8.9% for intracranial pressure, indicating that the piglet head model is reliable for predicting the effects of TBI.*
