❤️ Elizabeth Anne Bukusi 🐹

"Elizabeth Anne Bukusi FAAS is a research professor working within the field of obstetrics and gynaecology, and global health. Bukusi's main areas of research focus around sexually transmitted infections, women's health, reproductive health, and HIV care, prevention and treatment. Bukusi is the Chief Research Officer at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and led a "landmark" study on the use of PrEP in Kenya. Education Bukusi gained her general medical degree, followed by her Masters in obstetrics and gynaecology from the University of Nairobi. She then went on to earn a certificate in international health, Masters in public health (MPH) and a PhD from the University of Washington's Department of Epidemiology. Subsequent qualifications include a post-graduate diploma in Research Ethics from the University of Cape Town, then a Masters in Bioethics from the Sind Institute of Urology and Transplantation. Research Bukusi's Masters in Public Health, completed in 2000, studied the male factor in bacterial vaginosis in Kenya, and her PhD then continued this path of research with her thesis titled: 'Bacterial Vaginosis: A Randomized Trial to Reduce Recurrence'. In 2006 Bukusi was awarded her PhD, and published a paper in the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases, 'Bacterial vaginosis: risk factors among Kenyan women and their male partners'. In 2010 Bukusi published 'Genital hygiene practices of fishermen targeted for a topical microbicide intervention against sexually transmitted infections in Kisumu, Kenya', within the International Journal of STD and AIDS. Bukusi's academic roles include chief research officer at KEMRI; chair of the Bioethics Society of Kenya; research professor at the University of Washington; honorary lecturer at Aga Khan University; and volunteer clinical faculty professor at the University of California San Francisco.

❤️ Thomson Airways Flight 1526 🐹

"On 21 July 2017, a Boeing 737-800, operating as Thomson Airways Flight 1526 from Belfast International Airport and bound for Corfu, Greece with 185 people aboard, suffered a "serious incident" during takeoff, colliding with a runway approach light during departure. The incident was investigated by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch and determined to be the result of an incorrect temperature input into the aircraft's flight computer resulting in underperformance at take-off. The area beyond the runway and the terrain beyond were largely unobstructed, and the aircraft eventually climbed away undamaged. The remainder of the flight to Corfu was uneventful. The "serious incident" at take-off was realized and reported when airport staff subsequently observed minor ground damage. The investigation report concluded that the crew could not reasonably have been expected to recognize the anomalously low speed sooner or intervene more effectively. The report listed several examples of aircraft underperformance at takeoff, reviewed the history of relevant industry efforts, and recommended that a Takeoff Acceleration Monitoring System and associated certification standards should be developed without further delay. Aircraft The incident aircraft was a Boeing 737-86J(WL) serial number 38124, registration C-FWGH. The aircraft was delivered to Air Berlin in 2011 as registration D-ABMC. The aircraft entered Sunwing Airlines fleet in 2017 following the bankruptcy of Air Berlin. During the time of the incident Thomson Airways had leased the aircraft for the summer season from 29 April until 31 October 2017. Incident details The outside air temperature was 16°C, but the operating crew entered incorrect figures (variously -47°C and -52°C) for the airport outside air temperature, into the flight management computer, resulting in miscalculation of the required N, the engine fan speed (low-pressure compressor speed) required on the take-off run. (Both incorrect figures appeared as OATs on the flight plan: -47°C at the first waypoint after top-of-climb, -52°C at top-of-climb. Delays around reporting the incident meant that the Cockpit Voice Recorder information was not available for the investigation.) As the aircraft departed Runway 07, the crew noticed unusually slow acceleration as well as a low climb rate, a fact noted by witnesses on the ground. Shortly after lifting off the runway one of the aircraft's landing gear collided with a supplementary runway approach light. The light was knocked loose from its mounting and crushed while the 737 suffered no damage. Crewmembers were not made aware of the incident until ATC personnel at Belfast airport filed an incident report with the AAIB. Map of Belfast International Airport = Analysis = Usage of inaccurate takeoff data can be fatal, as it can lead to runway overruns and possibly collisions with obstructions. One such close call event happened at Melbourne Airport in 2009 when the pilots of an Emirates flight entered incorrect take off data, leading to a too low thrust setting. This led to the aircraft overrunning the runway for some 150m before taking off, and barely clearing the airport perimeter fence. This incident is a case where checklists and other safeguards have failed the pilots. Once airborne the crew checked the take-off performance data: the N level was 81.5%, far below the required level of 92.7%. Thrust was only increased when the aircraft reached 800 feet, about 4 km after becoming airborne. Neither the installed flight management computer software nor the Electronic flight bags (EFBs) in use helped in detecting the data input error. A recent software release had not yet been installed, and the software omitted the cross-check of the pilot input data against the outside air temperature actually measured. The pilot became aware of the aircraft's underperformance late in the take-off run but did not intervene effectively. The Report explored various human-factors aspects of the incident, concluding that the pilots could not reasonably have been expected to respond more quickly to the developing situation, either before or after becoming airborne. It reviews and lists recent incidents of aircraft underperformance at take-off, reviews industry efforts to provide automatic warning in such situations, and calls for closer regulatory attention to pilots' portable computers ('electronic flight bags'). Relevance to aircraft systems This incident was included in discussions of proposed new aircraft equipment: *Extended duration Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) * Takeoff Performance Monitoring System (TOPMS) or Takeoff Acceleration Monitoring System (TAMS). A 2019 research paper explores the cause of this serious incident, caused by erroneous data entry. The paper "summarises a basic takeoff acceleration monitoring system and the effect this would have had on the July 2017 event".
