    E-ISSN 2039-2117 Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 5 No 2 ISSN 2039-9340 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy January 2014 An Empirical Analysis of the Causes of Air Crashes from a Transport Management Perspective Mobolaji S. Stephens Department of Transport Management Technology, Federal University of Technology, PMB 704 Akure, Nigeria Wilfred I. Ukpere Department of Industrial Psychology & People Management, Faculty of Management University of Johannesburg, South Africa Corresponding email: [email protected] or [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2014.v5n2p699 Abstract Aviation has changed into high level of operations technically, administratively and even technologically. This has been made possible with the introduction and manufacture of larger and faster aircrafts that greatly incorporates advanced information management technologies. With increase in the volume of traffic and the demand for air transportation, comes the risk and increase in air crashes. Causes of air crashes have been studied by various researchers and bodies. What this studied did was to examine causes of air crashes from all over the world and analyze them based on the locations of accidents to determine the causes of accidents in different locations. It was observed that certain regions were recorded to have similar causes of accidents and some others were prone to certain causes of accidents. North America had more cases of air crashes over other regions but when compared with the volume of traffic in this region one will understand why they had many more crashes than others. They can be adjudged to be safer than some other regions such as Asia and Africa.

The plane was carrying U.S. troops home from duty in the Middle East to their base in Kentucky. The plane came down shortly after take-off, killing all 248 people on board.

  • New York City's Garment Industry
    New York City’s Garment Industry: The Tired, Poor, and Forgotten Masses by Wendy C. Potter, 2017 CTI Fellow David W. Butler High School This curriculum unit is recommended for: Apparel and Textile Production I Apparel and Textile Production II Keywords: New York City Garment District, fashion industry, immigration, Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, fashion, sweatshops, textile industry, Chinatown, immigrant Teaching Standards: See Appendix 1 for teaching standards addressed in this unit. Synopsis: This curriculum focuses on the valuable contributions of immigrants to the garment industry, with special attention given to immigration in New York City. The great immigration period of 1840-1940 shaped the landscape of New York City. As the city continued to grow because of immigration, the garment industry of New York City was established. Dependent on the skills of various groups of people, the garment industry of New York City is now considered a “fashion capital” of the world. Although sweatshops and child labor are an issue of the past in New York City, there remains an immigrant workforce that is marginalized. The glamour of fashion overshadows immigrant contributions. Through creative and hands-on activities, students will learn to memorialize and celebrate the contributions of immigration to the garment industry. With memorials, monuments, and architecture as touchstones, this unit exposes untold history of New York City’s garment industry. While natives of New York City may be aware of this concept, it is important that non-natives have a realistic view of New York City’s garment industry, rather than the often shared glamorous one. I plan to teach this unit during the coming year to 120 9th-12th grade students in Apparel and Textile Production I and II classes.

In this study, qualitative grounded theory design was used to identify nonstatistical factors and explore how they influence bankruptcy prediction models in the all-cargo airline industry.
