Annual data was obtained from EUROSTAT and then this data was processed by using R language and Minitab. Freight tonne kilometers (FTKs) growth analyses for the World, Europe and Türkiye were done by fitting exponential curves to the data. Forecast for cargo traffic between Türkiye and Europe were done using exponential smoothing with trend adjustment method. The results reveal the strategic decisions for determining airport pairs in air cargo transport between Europe and Türkiye. It has been determined that there is air cargo transportation between 11 airports from Türkiye and 90 airports from 31 European countries. The most striking result of this study is that while Istanbul IGA airport serves as the main hub for air cargo transportation with other airports in Europe, Sabiha Gökçen airport has been on the way to become a secondary hub in recent years with the strategic agreements between airports. The transported air cargo weight between remaining 8 airports (since Atatürk airport closed to air cargo in 2022) in Türkiye and European airports is negligible. Determinants of choosing these airports might possibly be geographic locations, political relations with these countries, specific products of these locations, closeness to the industrial regions.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"2 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136227258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This holds particularly true in the aviation sector, where Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a pivotal role in optimizing workforce performance and ensuring operational efficiency. However, HRM decision-making processes are often confronted with multifaceted challenges that encompass various criteria and encompass both objective and subjective factors. To tackle this complexity, a novel and adaptive approach is needed. In this study, we employ a Fuzzy Logic Approach to analyze the criteria influencing decision-making processes in HRM within the aviation sector, aiming to provide a comprehensive and flexible decision-support system for HRM practitioners and contribute to the sector's overall performance and success. The contribution of this study lies in its innovative application of Fuzzy Logic to HRM decision-making in the aviation sector. By capturing the inherent uncertainties and vagueness that HRM practitioners encounter, the proposed Fuzzy Logic-based model offers a more robust and context-sensitive decision-support system. The insights derived from this research are expected to enhance the strategic management of human resources, leading to optimized workforce utilization, increased employee satisfaction, and improved organizational performance in the aviation industry.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87739199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the key elements influencing how effectively airlines fly is the impact of meteorology on aircraft. Risks associated with meteorology must be continuously assessed and carefully managed by the flight crew in order to ensure the safety of flights. The goal of crew resource management, on the other hand, is to ensure safe flight operations in the field of international aviation. Pilots have been put through rigorous training to see if different crew resource management tools are adequate to improve flight efficiency in adverse weather conditions caused by meteorology. \u0000The goal of this study is to examine the favourable and unfavourable effects of meteorological events on crew resource management in recent aviation operations. The face-to-face interview technique, one of the qualitative research methods, was used and data were collected in the light of the information obtained from the pilot pool of 50 people. In the study, the opinions of the teams on what kind of flight management and data analysis application they carried out were taken, accompanied by questions directed through meteorology, flight safety and crew resource management factors. The collected data were analysed by content analysis method. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that theoretical knowledge on stress management and a good analysis of meteorology are of vital importance. It has been evaluated that accidents and incidents that occur indirectly in aviation in meteorology can be completely prevented, and by drawing attention to the importance of the team resource management factor, it has been concluded that they can be prevented by working together with advanced meteorology systems and an up-to-date training. \u0000 \u0000Havacılık sektöründe meteoroloji verilerinin öngörülemeyen ve ani gelişen etkili karmaşık yapıları neticesinde, uçuş sırasında her daim takip edilmesi gereken ve yer kontrol birimleriyle kontrollü olarak iletişim halinde kalınması gereklidir.

As there are several different materials to produce thermal barrier coatings, the conventional thermal barrier coating is yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ). The most common method to manufacture YSZ coating is plasma spraying method due to its flexibility and rapid production capacity. Using plasma spraying, often requires understanding the process parameters effect on the coating structure. As there are many parameters to control coating process the main outcome of all parameters is the particle temperature and velocity during the spraying process hence the coating properties such as hardness, porosity ratio and deposition rates. Furthermore not only produced microstructure but also during the service conditions sintering behaviour also be considered. Sintering behaviour of thermal barrier coatings results declining of their thermal insulation properties. Therefore, in this study we have evaluated sintering effect of on the thermal conductivity of the plasma sprayed yttria stabilized zirconia coatings. To achieve this objective, we produced free-standing coatings and subjected them to heat treatment, followed by measurements of their thermal conductivities.

So the continuous growth of the aviation, accurate predictions play a crucial role in managing air traffic and optimizing airport operations. The prediction process involves various factors such as weather conditions, airport traffic, flight schedules, and historical data. Advanced techniques like machine learning contribute to enhancing the accuracy of predictions. In this context, air traffic data belonging to Diyarbakır province were utilized to predict the number of arrival aircraft to the airport using both traditional Autoregressive (AR) model and deep learning architecture, specifically the stacked Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model. The results indicate that the stacked LSTM model outperformed the AR model in terms of air traffic estimation. The AR model had a quite poorly MSE value of 48043.35 and an RMSE value of 219.18, while the stacked LSTM model achieved a significantly higher MSE value of 0.03 and an RMSE value of 0.17. The lower MSE values obtained by the stacked LSTM model indicate its ability to make more accurate predictions compared to the AR model. The stacked LSTM model's predictions were closer to the actual values, resulting in a more realistic estimation of air traffic. Accurate predictions enable efficient resource management, passenger planning, and airport security measures. Continuous efforts in predicting aircraft landings are necessary for the effective functioning of the aviation industry.
