A Human Error Approach to Aviation Accident Analysis : The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System
Human error is implicated in nearly all aviation accidents, yet most investigation and prevention programs are not designed around any theoretical framework of human error. Appropriate for all levels of expertise, the book provides the knowledge and tools required to conduct a human error analysis of accidents, regardless of operational setting (i.e. military, commercial, or general aviation). The book contains a complete description of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), which incorporates James Reason's model of latent and active failures as a foundation. Widely disseminated among military and civilian organizations, HFACS encompasses all aspects of human error, including the conditions of operators and elements of supervisory and organizational failure. It attracts a very broad readership. Specifically, the book serves as the main textbook for a course in aviation accident investigation taught by one of the authors at the University of Illinois.This book will also be used in courses designed for military safety officers and flight surgeons in the U.S.Navy, Army and the Canadian Defense Force, who currently utilize the HFACS system during aviation accident investigations.Additionally, the book has been incorporated into the popular workshop on accident analysis and prevention provided by the authors at several professional conferences world-wide.The book is also targeted for students attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University which has satellite campuses throughout the world and offers a course in human factors accident investigation for many of its majors.In addition, the book will be incorporated into courses offered by Transportation Safety International and the Southern California Safety Institute.Finally, this book serves as an excellent reference guide for many safety professionals and investigators already in the field.

What do push factors and pull factors mean?
Push factors are circumstances that force individuals to leave their current location, such as poverty, political instability, or lack of job opportunities. Pull factors, on the other hand, are conditions that attract individuals to a new location, such as better job prospects, higher quality of life, or political stability. Both push and pull factors play a significant role in influencing migration patterns and decisions.

Factors Influencing Child Survival in Tanzania : Comparative Analysis of Diverse Deprived Rural Villages
This book addresses the essential topic of child survival in Tanzania, especially focusing on the role of mutual assistance, which has received little attention to date.Further, it identifies a range of key factors for child survival by combining a literature review, regional data analysis, and case studies.These studies center on rural villages in high Under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) regions and assess their strengths and weaknesses regarding child survival.By focusing on deprived rural areas as of 2002 and evaluating the improvements in the 2012 census data, the book also highlights the potential held by rural semi -subsistence economies.An analysis of the focus villages indicates that children in food-sharing circles had better chances of survival.However, food sharing is not necessarily inclusive; a significant number of children have fallen out of such circles, especially in mainland villages.Furthermore, monetary support for children’s medicine has often failed to arrive in time.Lastly, the book argues that, in addition to direct factors such as access to health services, water and sanitation, food intake, and education, it is essential that children receive inclusive support at various levels: family, community, village, national, and international.
