Key to the growth of aviation are the global, high levels of safety and security exercised by all stakeholders. However, as the aviation industry becomes more reliant on technology, which is increasingly becoming more interconnected, sophisticated and automated, the number of vulnerabilities is increasing, and this is impacting safety and security. This is because cyberattacks are becoming more prevalent, with the potential to cause accidents and incidents. Cybersecurity in aviation is becoming a serious issue that all aviation stakeholders must consider in order to protect contractual partners, third parties and themselves. In order to increase cybersecurity, regulators at all levels are beginning to react to the threat of cyberattacks. This book addresses the question whether the current regulatory approach in the European Union is appropriate for international civil air transportation. Based on a critical analysis of EU aviation law, as well as related international law, with particular emphasis on cybersecurity as a transversal topic, it will be argued that the current legal status quo is not appropriate and needs to be changed.

- Learning in communities of practice

- Becoming an effective facilitator/mentor

- Understand and supporting work-based learning

- Managing the unusual, such as failing learners or those with special needs

- Giving and documenting feedback

- Managing workloads in busy environments

- Professional development issues

Special features: A clear, accessible guide for new and experienced practice educators/facilitators alikeA comprehensive, applied text for practitioners of all levels of experience in facilitation and supervisionWritten by authors with extensive experience in the fieldUniquely focuses on the professional development of the mentor/facilitator themselvesProvides case studies throughout showing illustrating common issues and how to engage in formal theories of professional practiceMultiprofessional focus - aimed at all health and social care practitioners

Text entry has never been so important as it is today. This is in large part due to the phenomenal, relatively recent success of mobile computing, text messaging on mobile phones, and the proliferation of small devices like the Blackberry and Palm Pilot. Compared with the recent past, when text entry was primarily through the standard "qwerty" keyboard, people today use a diverse array of devices with the number and variety of such devices ever increasing.
The variety is not just in the devices, but also in the technologies used: Entry modalities have become more varied and include speech recognition and synthesis, handwriting recognition, and even eye-tracking using image processing on web-cams. Statistical language modeling has advanced greatly in the past ten years and so therein is potential to facilitate and improve text entry-increasingly, the way people communicate.
This book consists of four parts, and covers these areas: Guidelines for Designing Better Entry Systems (including research methodologies, measurement, and language modelling); Devices and Modalities; Languages of the world and entry systems in those languages; and variety in users and their difficulties with text entry-and the possible design and guideline solutions for those individual user groups.
This book covers different aspects of text entry systems and offers prospective researchers and developers
* global guidelines for conducting research on text entry, in terms of design strategy, evaluation methodology, and requirements;
* history and current state of the art of entry systems, including coverage of recent research topics;
* specific guidelines for designing entry systems for aspecific target, depending on devices, modalities, language, and different physical conditions of users
