Are long-haul truck drivers unusually alert? A comparison with long-haul airline pilots.
2020
Abstract Background Recent studies suggest heavy vehicle drivers self-estimate their sleepiness unexpectedly low during night duties. The present study compared sleepiness ratings of long-haul truck drivers with those of long-haul airline pilots during night and non-night duties. In addition, the correspondence between self-rated manifest and predicted latent sleepiness was examined in the two groups. Methods Twenty-two drivers and 33 pilots participated. Their working hours, sleep, on-duty sleepiness, and use of sleepiness countermeasures were measured in naturalistic conditions. Predictions of latent sleepiness were based on the measurements of working hours and sleep using the Sleep/Wake…
LATVIJAS BEZPILOTA GAISA KUĢA TIRGUS VIDES IETEKMĒJOŠO FAKTORU ANALĪZE
2016
Maģistra darbs „Latvijas BGK tirgus vides ietekmējošo faktoru analīze”. Maģistra darba hipotēze – bezpilota gaisa kuģa nozare strauji attīstās, tas var izraisīt lūzuma punktus valsts sektorā, attiecīgi likumdošana nespētu sekot jaunākajām tendencēm. Šī nespēja sekot radītu gan ekonomiskos zaudējumus, gan bloķētu potenciālās biznesa iespējas uz vispārējo sabiedrības informētību šajā sfērā. Maģistra darba mērķis – izpētīt bezpilota gaisa kuģa galvenos nozares problemātiskos punktus un dot priekšlikumus veiksmīgai, sakārtotai un attīstības pilnai nākotnei. Maģistra darba ietvaros veikts bezpilota gaisa kuģa teorētiskais apskats un pētījums par bezpilota gaisa kuģa tirgus vides ietekmējošajiem …
Self-reported reasons for on-duty sleepiness among commercial airline pilots
2021
Experimental and epidemiological research has shown that human sleepiness is determined especially by the circadian and homeostatic processes. The present field study examined which work-related factors airline pilots perceive as causing on-duty sleepiness during short-haul and long-haul flights. In addition, the association between the perceived reasons for sleepiness and actual sleepiness levels was examined, as well as the association between reporting inadequate sleep causing sleepiness and actual sleep-wake history. The study sample consisted of 29 long-haul (LH) pilots, 28 short-haul (SH) pilots, and 29 mixed fleet pilots (flying both SH and LH flights), each of whom participated in a…
Recurrent On-Duty Sleepiness and Alertness Management Strategies in Long-Haul Airline Pilots
2018
Introduction We examined whether long-haul airline pilots without recurrent on-duty sleepiness obtain more prior sleep and use more effective in-flight alertness management strategies than their colleagues with recurrent on-duty sleepiness. Methods There were 51 pilots who flew at least twice from Helsinki to Asia. Of them, 44 flew at least twice back to Helsinki following 1 local night. On-duty sleepiness was measured by the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), alertness management strategies by a diary, and sleep by a diary and activity monitor. Pilots who rated KSS ≥ 7 on each, some, or none of the flights were classified as "regularly", "sometimes", and "never" sleepy, respectively. This …
"Ikke alle piloter flyr" : implementering av telemedisin i norske kommuner
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Running pilots is a widespread way of conducting innovations in the Norwegian health service, many of these projects are not implemented permanently or lead to lasting changes in services. Solutions based on Telemedicine are being tested, but the implementation rate does not match the existing ambitions. The aim of this study is to gain increased knowledge of some of the factors that are required for pilot projects in Telemedicine to go from pilots to permanent solutions, especially focused on stakeholders and their role. The thesis question is «What is the significance of different stakeholders in the municipalit…
