Lessons Learned from Official Airline Reports of Onboard Fumes and Smoke
The author reviewed and classified maintenance reports that cited smoke, odor, or fumes (SOFs) that US airlines sent to the FAA over four years between 2018 and 2023. The US fleet composition was also calculated to put the number of SOF reports on each aircraft type in perspective. “Fume events” (engine oil or hydraulic fluid) were the most common type of onboard SOFs reported by US airlines (43%), followed by electrical (20%), and fans (6.1%). During these years, A320fam aircraft made up 20% of the US fleet but 80% of the reported fume events. Conversely, B737fam aircraft made up 27% of the US fleet but only 3.0% of the reported fume events. Aircraft design features, airline reporting practices, and maintenance procedures that may contribute to these differences were reviewed. Pilots were most likely to document a fume event during descent (47%) and takeoff/climb (19%). The A320fam, MD80fam, A330, and ERJ140-145 aircraft were over-represented in other types of SOFs reports. Airline narratives show that the APU can be the primary source of oil/hydraulic fumes, even when it is not operating. Additionally, failure to find the source of fumes, rectify it, and clean any secondary sources of fumes can cause repeat events.

Sources of Onboard Fumes and Smoke Reported by U.S. Airlines
This paper describes the relative frequency of reports of oil and hydraulic fluid fumes in the ventilation supply air (“fume events”) compared to other types of fumes and smoke reported by U.S. airlines over 10 years. The author reviewed and categorized 12,417 fume/smoke reports submitted to the aviation regulator to comply with the primary maintenance reporting regulation (14 CFR § 121.703) from 2002–2011. The most commonly documented category of onboard fumes/smoke was electrical (37%). Combining the categories of “bleed-sourced”, “oil”, and “hydraulic fluid” created the second most prevalent category (26%). The remaining sources of onboard fumes/smoke are also reported. To put the data in context, the fume event reporting regulations are described, along with examples of ways in which certain events are underreported. These data were reported by U.S. airlines, but aviation regulations are harmonized globally, so the data likely also reflect onboard sources of fumes and smoke reported in other countries with equivalent aviation systems. The data provide insight into the relative frequency of the types of reported fumes and smoke on aircraft, which should drive design, operational, and maintenance actions to mitigate onboard exposure. The data also provide insight into how to improve current fume event reporting rules.

Light and death : figuration in Spenser, Kepler, Donne, Milton
\"Death, light, figuration and, especially, analogical expressions of figuration, are the primary subjects of this book. They generate associated interests: the relation of literature and science, the methodology of thought and argument, and the processes of narrative, discovery, and interpretation. Creativity, optics, rhetoric, and language are focal as well\"-- Provided by publisher.

Milton, Time, and Narrative: 'Now, / While Time Was'
Paul Ricoeur's poetics illuminate time and narrative in John Milton's Paradise Lost. Ricoeur asserts the intimacy of narrative with human time, addresses the interweaving of narrative histories and fictions, and extends Augustine's subjective theory of temporality and Aristotle's objective theory of narrative form. Tradition, understood as sedimentation and innovation over successive generations, is a temporal concept that is evident in the Augustinian and Aristotelian roots of Ricoeur's poetics, as it is throughout Paradise Lost. Narrative's intimacy with time casts light on Milton's artistry and its human significance, including his narrator and plot and the metamorphic tradition that informs his Satan.

Community as partner : theory and practice in nursing
\"Community As Partner: Theory and Practice in Nursing, 8th Edition offers a foundational overview of the concepts of epidemiology, environment, culture, ethics, empowerment, health policy, informatics, bioterrorism, and emerging infectious diseases as they relate to community health. Authors and theorists Dr. Anderson and Dr. McFarlane of the Community As Partner Model arm students with the \"how to\" knowledge they need to apply the nursing process to an entire community, and take readers through the entire nursing process with a real-life community as an example! Anderson offers a handbook with practical skills that ACHNE has outlined as essential for generalist nurses, including how to do a community assessment, how to analyze data, how to form a community nursing diagnosis, as well as how to plan, implement, and evaluate a community health program. Community As Partner analyzes the relationship between globalization and health, and inspires students to contribute to the reduction of global health challenges and promoting health for all, including marginalized populations and health promotion in school communities, rural communities, and faith communities. In this edition, instructors will receive PowerPoints enhanced with lecture notes and iclicker questions. These PowerPoints will be developed to serve a dual purpose. You can choose to share the decks with your students to use as self-paced Study Notes and knowledge check multiple choice questions. Our NCLEX style test bank has been revised and enhanced with more questions at the application level and higher\"-- Provided by publisher.
Is working in aged care becoming more attractive?
Australia, like many other countries worldwide is experiencing an ageing population (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2013). Many aged care facilities report shortages of staff, frequently registered nurses (National Institute of Labour Studies 2012).
