    FINAL REPORT 47 PART III THE INQUIRIES CONDUCTED AFTER THE TRAGEDY 1. THE ADMINISTRATIVE INQUIRY BY THE ITALIAN AIR FORCE 1.1 Introduction The Committee of Italian Air Force officers convened by the Command of the 1st Air Region on 4 February 1998 (known as a technical inquiry) drew up its report in accordance with STANAG 3531 on investigations of accidents/incidents involving military aircraft from two or more NATO nations. This Committee worked in conjunction with its US counterpart, from which it obtained information as required. It did not, however, obtain copies of the documentation consigned to the official records, although it had free access for consultation purposes. The Committee’s investigations covered its fields of interest, where compatible with the procedures of the Italian judicial investigation, taking due account of the fact that many of the objects, materials, and documents had been seized. The investigation was affected by the fact that the crew members had opted to exercise their right to remain silent under questioning about the event. The Committee therefore recognized that it could not obtain certain fundamental information from the parties directly involved, such as data on the planning and execution of the mission, and that it could not ascertain the exact dynamic of events or the conduct of the crew members during the mission. 1.2 Summary of the Air Force investigation report The report contains the essential data on the most significant parts of the mission denominated « EASY 01 »: from pre-flight briefing to take-off from Aviano, the impact with the cableway and the emergency landing.

EINLEITUNG Die Begeisterung für den Skisport in Liechtenstein ist riesig. So ist beispielsweise in keinem anderen Land der Skiverband grösser als der Fussballverband. Regelmässig gelingt es, sowohl im Langlaufsport wie auch im alpinen Bereich Topathleten an die Weltspitze zu führen. Der Liechten- steinische Skiverband geniesst international eine ausgezeichnete Reputation. Diese positive Wahr- nehmung würde im Rahmen eines Weltcup-Anlasses auch auf das Land Liechtenstein übergreifen. Die Tour de Ski-Etappe wird in 25 bis 30 Ländern live übertragen. Ebenfalls ist eine Berichterstat- tung im Vorfeld des Events, wie auch über die Resultate im Rahmen von Sportprogrammen, zu erwarten. Allein bei SRF haben am 01.01.2016 über 600‘000 TV-Zuschauer den Langlaufsprint in Lenzerheide live mitverfolgt. Insgesamt bietet dieser Anlass Liechtenstein die Möglichkeit, sich von seiner besten Seite zu zeigen und positiv in den Medien wahrgenommen zu werden. Im Rahmen des FIS-Kongresses im Mai 2018 wurde der provisorische „Weltcup Kalender Lang- lauf“ für die Saison 2019/2020 besprochen. Im Vorfeld des zuständigen Komitee-Meetings wurde der Vertreter des liechtensteinischen Skiverbandes, Präsident Dr. Alexander Ospelt, von Swiss- Ski daraufhin hingewiesen, dass sich unter Umständen die Chance bieten würde, die Tour de Ski Etappe von Obersdorf (D) zu erhalten. Dies weil Obersdorf die WM 2020/2021 durchführt und die Organisation sich auf diesen Event hin fokussiert.

I am the developer of the r-package text (www.r-text.org), which provides powerful functions tailored to analyse text data for testing research hypotheses in social and behavior sciences. Using AI, as compared with traditional rating scales, we can (more) accurately measure psychological constructs; differentiate between similar constructs (such as worry and depression); as well as depict the content individuals use to describe their states of mind. I am, for example, applying these methods to better understand subjective well-being and to compare harmony in life versus satisfaction with life. I am particularly interested in sustainable well-being; how pursuing different types of well-being might bring about different social and environmental consequences. I am a co-founder of WordDiagnostics, where we apply these AI methods in a decision support system for diagnosing psychiatric disorders.
