Role of human factors understanding to enhance aviation safety in Saudi Arabia under vision 2030

Mirza Shoaib Ahmed — 2026-04-30

This study is to look at how human factors can help improve aviation safety in Saudi Arabia, following the guidelines set by Vision 2030. The research adopts a qualitative and conceptual approach by using secondary data from aviation authorities, academic literature, industry reports, and relevant aviation safety guidelines. It also includes practical insights from aviation training management to understand how human factors influence safety performance. The study finds that human factors such as fatigue management, communication through Crew Resource Management (CRM), structured training, decision-making, situational awareness, and safety culture significantly influence aviation safety outcomes. Properly understanding and handling these factors can help reduce mistakes made by people and make work safer. Including human factors in aviation operations is crucial for enhancing safety, lowering risks, and aligning Saudi Arabia's aviation industry with global safety standards and the goals of Vision 2030. The study provides useful recommendations for aviation organizations in Saudi Arabia, including the implementation of structured human factor training, fatigue risk management systems, safety culture improvement, and continuous professional development for aviation personnel.

Optimizing university enrollment confirmation timelines: A survival analysis of student decision-making in Mongolia

ANKHBILEG Khurelbaatar — 2026-04-30

This study investigates the optimal timeline for university enrollment confirmation using survival analysis, focusing on behavioral data from the National University of Mongolia (hereinafter NUM). As higher education institutions streamline operations and competition intensifies, the timing of student decisions becomes increasingly critical. Applying the Cox proportional hazards model to multi-year administrative data, we find that approximately 90% of confirmations occur within the first 600–700 minutes of the registration window. Factors such as program type, institutional affiliation, entrance scores, and regional origin significantly influence confirmation timing. These findings suggest that an 11-hour confirmation period balances logistical efficiency with student decision-making needs. The results align with theories of bounded rationality and decision overload, offering a novel empirical basis for policy reform in developing higher education systems.

Review of human health impacts from pesticide use, analyzed through a gender perspective

Diana Milena Muñoz Solarte — 2026-04-30

This documentary review analyzes publications from the last 10 years (2014-2024) on the health effects of pesticides from a gender perspective, focusing specifically on the differential impacts on women in agricultural settings. A systematic mapping study was conducted following the methodology of Petersen, et al. [1]. Databases consulted included Scielo, PubMed, and Redalyc. Search strings combined keywords such as "pesticides, health AND cancer," "occupational health AND agriculture (gender)," and "pesticides AND women" using Boolean operators. From an initial pool of 2,400 documents, a refinement process applying inclusion and exclusion criteria resulted in a final corpus of 300 relevant studies. Of the selected documents, 29% addressed agrochemicals and health or cancer, 57% focused on occupational health and agriculture, and only 14% specifically examined pesticides and women's health. The review identifies multiple adverse health impacts on women, including reproductive disorders, specific cancers (breast, cervical, renal), respiratory diseases, endocrine disruption, and neuropsychological deficits. Women face heightened risks due to dual exposure pathways (direct field labor and indirect domestic contamination) compounded by systemic gender inequalities—limited access to information, inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE), and insufficient training on safe pesticide handling. Women are significantly underrepresented in pesticide health research (14% of selected corpus), despite evidence confirming greater biological susceptibility and distinct social vulnerabilities compared to men. Gender-sensitive occupational health policies are urgently required. These must include mandatory provision of appropriately fitted PPE for women, targeted educational programs on safe agrochemical handling, improved rural healthcare infrastructure, and the systematic inclusion of sex-disaggregated data in future epidemiological research.

The tendency of rationalization of experiences in modern culture

Natalya R. Sayenko — 2026-04-30

The article examines instances of rationalization of experiences in modern emotional culture as examples of a new global tendency that requires a person to intensively comprehend his own choices. We show how public discourse appropriates psychological terminology not only for better describe the inner emotional life, but similarly, from the point of view of modern culture, to satisfy the needs to be a good person: this requires both the use of certain words in a certain modality ("articulate" one's own emotions; reflect on mistakes; deal with one's own reactions), and the implementation of rituals of mindfulness. It demonstrates how new technologies, including social media and dating apps, have created new norms of behavior and romantic relationships, as well as how rejecting them can serve as a real radical response to an endless variety of candidates and proposals, from which, in fact, it is impossible to choose once and correctly.
