Abstract

SHORTLY after the holding in America in May this year of the second Anglo‐American Conference arranged jointly by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences—the first having taken place in London in September 1947—we received a very brief summary of the paper on ‘Turbine‐engined Transport Aircraft’ presented by Mr G. R. Edwards of Vickers‐Armstrongs Ltd. We at once realized its outstanding interest and importance and sought Mr Edwards' permission to publish it in full in Aircraft Engineering. He readily granted this but unfortunately the Institute preferred—as was, of course, its right—to withhold the full text till it could appear in the full report of the Conference, which it is hoped to publish early next year at the price of 15 dollars. The Institute, however, had no objection to our publishing an extended summary of it. As we learnt that the paper had not been circulated before the meeting, at which an abbreviated version only was read, and therefore there had been no opportunity of studying it even by those present at the Conference, we felt that we should be doing useful service if we made available as full a version of it as possible at an early date. Feeling that the abbreviated version read at the meeting—which was very kindly made available to us—gave a less true picture of the value of the full paper, which we had by then had an opportunity of studying, than we desired, we persuaded Mr Edwards to have another, and still fuller, version prepared specially for us and it is this which appears in this issue.

Abstract

Incivility is widespread in the workplace and has been shown to have significant affective and behavioral consequences. However, the authors still have a limited understanding as to whether, how and when discrete incivility events impact team performance. Adopting a resource depletion perspective and focusing on the cognitive implications of such events, the authors introduce a multi-level model linking the adverse effects of such events on team members’ working memory – the “workbench” of the cognitive system where most planning, analyses, and management of goals occur – to team effectiveness. The model which the authors develop proposes that that uncivil interpersonal behavior in general, and rudeness – a central manifestation of incivility – in particular, may place a significant drain on individuals’ working memory capacity, affecting team effectiveness via its effects on individual performance and coordination-related team emergent states and action-phase processes. In the context of this model, the authors offer an overarching framework for making sense of disparate findings regarding how, why and when incivility affects performance outcomes at multiple levels. More specifically, the authors use this framework to: (a) suggest how individual-level cognitive impairment and weakened coordinative team processes may mediate these incivility-based effects, and (b) explain how event, context, and individual difference factors moderators may attenuate or exacerbate these cognition-mediated effects.

Abstract

There is a huge amount of information and data stored in publicly available online databases that consist of large text files accessed by Boolean search techniques. It is widely held that less use is made of these databases than could or should be the case, and that one reason for this is that potential users find it difficult to identify which databases to search, to use the various command languages of the hosts and to construct the Boolean search statements required. This reasoning has stimulated a considerable amount of exploration and development work on the construction of search interfaces, to aid the inexperienced user to gain effective access to these databases. The aim of our paper is to review aspects of the design of such interfaces: to indicate the requirements that must be met if maximum aid is to be offered to the inexperienced searcher; to spell out the knowledge that must be incorporated in an interface if such aid is to be given; to describe some of the solutions that have been implemented in experimental and operational interfaces; and to discuss some of the problems encountered. The paper closes with an extensive bibliography of references relevant to online search aids, going well beyond the items explicitly mentioned in the text. An index to software appears after the bibliography at the end of the paper.

Abstract

This chapter examines the conundrum of juvenile immigration law and policy and argues that it is a present-day manifestation of “child-saving” in rhetoric, disposition, and human capital harm. In support of this thesis, the chapter reviews the pertinent human rights, law, and social science evidence, and it concludes that the maintenance of the nation’s existing immigration policy only makes sense within the context of the intentions of the 19th century child-saving movement. To substantiate this view, the political-economic drivers of contemporary US immigration policy (i.e., its child-saving dynamics) are explored. The chapter concludes by speculatively addressing the character (i.e., the form and quality) of modern-day juvenile immigration policy as child-saving informed by the philosophy and criticism of Psychological Jurisprudence (PJ).

Abstract

At the present time there is a general dissatisfaction among both theoreticians and practitioners with the disease model of alcoholism. It is often felt that it has served its usefulness. This can be witnessed in the literature in the increased questioning of the central components of the alcohol addiction model. Such dissatisfaction is not new but the present unease has resulted in the creation of new models of problem drinking. New theories of alcoholism have been expressly fashioned to replace outmoded ideas.

Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition with variable physical, cognitive, and quality of life impacts. Little research has investigated how MS outcomes vary by social identity (race, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, and nationality) and social location (place within systems of power and privilege). However, emerging evidence points to racial and ethnic group disparities in MS outcomes. This chapter integrates core concepts from the life course perspective and an intersectional feminist disability framework to interrogate the role of diagnosis pathways in determining differential MS outcomes. MS diagnosis pathways (the time from symptom onset to the point of diagnosis) are a logical place to begin this work given the varying nature of symptom onset and the importance of a quick diagnosis for optimal MS outcomes. Whereas the life course perspective provides a framework for understanding disability transitions and pathways across the life span, an intersectional feminist disability framework centers disability within an axis of overlapping social identities and locations. The combination of both frameworks provides an approach capable of examining how MS disparities and inequities emerge in different contexts over time. The chapter begins with an overview of MS and current knowledge on disparities (mainly racial) in MS prevalence, diagnosis, and outcomes. The chapter proceeds to describe the utility of key concepts of both the life course perspective and intersectional frameworks when researching health disparities. Finally, the chapter ends with a theoretical application of an intersectional feminist disability life course perspective to investigate disparities in MS diagnosis pathways.

Abstract

ONCE again the future of British civil transport aircraft is a topic of the moment. At the annual luncheon of the Air Registration Board both LORD BRABAZON and Mr G. R. EDWARDS spoke of the futility of trying in this country to produce a direct competitor for the large American jet transports—a view which we have voiced in the past. In the House of Commons the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation has recently been questioned about the deliberations of the Air Transport Advisory Committee, but it seems that no precise statement of policy is immediately forthcoming.
