Microstructural analysis showed that the average grain size, which was 13.2 µm initially, decreased to 11.2 µm application of the MAF. As a second grain refinement technique, cyclic heat treatment was used. Samples were subjected to 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 cyclic quenching. With this method, it was observed that the average grain size decreased to 2,3 µm. The mechanical tests showed that second MAF process increased the yield and tensile strength of the material about %16 while decrease the elongation only by %2. These tests also presented cyclic quenching increase tensile strength of the samples after first application.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90007066","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}

It describes the advantages and disadvantages of drones in the use of logistics activities, the methods used in the studies and the gaps in the literature. In addition, this study aims to reveal the academic efforts about drone-based transportation systems that will have a say in the future and which areas require effort in the future. In this article, a systematic literature review (SLR) about the use of drones in the transportation industry has been carried out. In total, 56 articles published in Elsevier's Scopus, Thomson Reuter's Web of Science, IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect (Elsevier) databases were examined in detail. The findings show that the use of drones in transportation activities is an effective method. However, the fact that it is a technology that has just been integrated into business processes reveals that there are aspects that need to be developed. Especially in the last ten years, they found that businesses have benefited from drone technology in their transportation activities, and as a result of this experience, when they analyzed the business processes of businesses, they increased their last mile delivery speed, efficiency, accessibility and customer satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91147754","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}

First, a primary design of flat, rectangular U-slot µ-strip patch antenna is designed around the center frequency of L1 band that is 1575.42 MHz. Then, this design has been converted to a conformal type such that it can be used cylindrical platforms such as missiles. The primary design of conformal U-slot µ-strip patch antenna has been optimized for the L1, E1 frequency band between 1563 MHz and 1587 MHz, and 1559 MHz and 1591 MHz; respectively. Then, antenna parameters such as operation bandwidth and the radiation pattern were reported based on the optimized simulation results for this stand-alone conformal antenna. Finally, this antenna has been put on a missile model and the antenna simulation is repeated to validate the effectiveness and the usability of this antenna on a realistic platform and the scenario. The CST simulation of the final optimized conformal U-slot type µ-strip patch antenna mounted on the missile model has shown that this antenna is effectively operation between 1.5442 and 1.6077 GHz such that it can conveniently be used for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications of L1 and E1 band.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86411098","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}

It is possible to model the failure arrival characteristics statistically using this knowledge. As a natural product of many experiments, a mean and variance figure can be identified for modelling the different occurrences. Even though the different situations can be modelled with such parameters, it may not wholly outline the condition of the product being developed and under test. The variance calculation series derived from the original reliability observation series can be an important consideration. With a mean and a variance figure, a statistical prediction can be made. However, with the very same parameters, another reliability characteristic carrying product or subcomponent may exist. For this instance, identifying whether the variance calculation series is stationarity and incorporating it in calculations can yield a possible prediction of a more accurate statistical model. In this study, the variance calculation series at hand is shown to possess a stationary character yielding further modelling possibilities and emphasizing the importance of this consideration.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"2017 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82633064","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}

These developments in the aviation industry necessitate flight safety and highlight the importance of the human factor (flight crew) by reducing the causality of technical factors in ensuring safety. Studies within this scope show that the main causal factor (65-70%) in aircraft crashes is the flight crew. There are many factors such as physiological, psychological, personal and psychosocial at the basis of the unsuccessful performance of the flight crew. However, the number of studies in the literature that draw attention to the psychological elements of the flight crew is very few. In fact, it is known that the psychological well-being of the flight crew is important for the success of the flight operations, but the airline companies do not have any evaluation obligation regarding this. On the contrary, some negative consequences may be encountered due to the freedom in this matter. In particular, the fact that human factor causation is at a much higher level than previously thought in plane crashes increases the importance of flight psychologists for airline companies today. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to reveal the importance of flight psychologists on flight safety in civil aviation. In this context, interviews were held with the flight crews of two airlines (private-public). The findings show that flight psychologists are important and necessary in airline companies in order to be able to perform safe flights with healthier flight crews.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81819451","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}

The airline loyalty programs provide that permit more focused marketing, tailored services, and more accessibility for both members and non-members. Consumers are motivated by prizes, competition, and social engagement in gamified loyalty programmes. Gamification, which is effective in improving the results of innovation practices and their acceptance by consumers, plays an active role in this interaction. In this direction, the study aims to reveal the factors that affect the service system non-users behavioral intentions based on airline loyalty programs and its relationship between social influence, consumer innovativeness, and gamification. The research data were collected from air passengers who use air transportation at least once time and have no loyalty program membership. Data obtained from passengers were analyzed using the PLS-SEM model. The findings show that gamification processes will improve the participation process of new passengers, and in this direction, new consumer profiles can be added to the portfolio of service systems. In addition, it has revealed that gamification and social influence are effective on behavioral intention and gamification has a mediating role in the relationship between consumer innovativeness and behavioral intention.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76870311","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}

In the 21st century, where competition over economic output and growth and profitability alone does not make a difference, corporate social responsibility projects and strategies to compete by gaining social legitimacy come to the fore. The inimitable aspect of Human Resources, which is the most valuable resource for a business, has led to the need for deep and different studies on the importance of internal customers. These early-recognizing businesses take measures to retain talented employees, making the difference in competition with internal resources. Social responsibilities, which are the responsibilities of organizations to their employees, their environment and consumers, form the basis of competition and sustainable strategies today. Based on this basis, the research focusing on the role of corporate social responsibility projects on internal customer satisfaction in the aviation industry wants to reveal organization-based outputs. This qualitative research, which aims to open a social window to competitive advantage with corporate social responsibility strategies; It is concerned to create an important value in order to understand the role of the institutions that produce and manage sustainability projects that are sensitive to the environment and society. In this context, a qualitative research was conducted with 24 middle and senior managers working in the management level of airline companies operating in Turkey.
