Micro-neurosurgery is performed with high power microscope. The microscope provides a precise perception of operative neurosurgical anatomy. The surgery is conducted using miniaturized instruments through a small hole in the skull and spin channel. Although there are predefined routine procedures in the micro-neurosurgery, still surgeons have to maintain a high level of situation awareness (SA) to operate safely. In this paper I discuss about my PhD research that focuses on relationship between eye movement pattern and level of SA.

“…Risks in nuclear power plants have attracted the attention of many researchers because of large scale devastating disasters such as the Three Mile Island accident in 1979, the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1986 and the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident in 2011. Scholars have examined risk in nuclear power plants from multiple angles, including construction risks (Wang et al 2011), risks of refueling leakage (Rohrer and Nierode 1996), and risks in systems operation (Smith 1998;Le Bot 2004;Carvalho et al 2008;Jou et al 2011;Lee et al 2012;Anuar and Kim 2014;Teperi et al 2017). Risks in systems operation are further divided into components outage, initiating events (Smith 1998), human error-especially individual psychological error (Le Bot 2004), as well as human factors in human-system interfaces (Carvalho et al 2008;Anuar and Kim 2014), in reporting and analyzing operational events (Teperi et al 2017), and in the main control room (Jou et al 2011;Lee et al 2012).…”

“…Some human factors related to production risks, identified by our study, are shown to be influential in other kinds of power plants. Namely, risk in abnormal situation treatment (Lee et al 2012), risk in human-machine interfaces (Carvalho et al 2008;Anuar and Kim 2014;Suwazono et al 2015), and risk in control-room monitoring (Jou et al 2011;Lee et al 2012) have also been examined in nuclear power plants. Consistent with Sheikhalishahi et al's (2017) study on thermal power plants, we also find that human factors are sources of risk in equipment maintenance.…”

Introduction: Thermal power plants are very popular in China. However, there has not been proportional research attention paid to production risk in these plants and human impact on production due to their importance in electricity generation. This study investigates production risks caused by human factors in thermal power plants and management methods to address identified human factors. Case description: Eighteen semi-structured interviews with front-line, middle and senior managers from four thermal power plants in China were carried out in this cross-sectional inductive study. Fault tree analysis and causal network analysis are used. Discussion and evaluation: We identify a range of production risks and human factors potentially influencing production in both negative and positive ways. We also recognize the most effective and practical relevant management methods to deal with identified human factors. Conclusion: By investigating production risk caused by human factors through the whole production process, this study emphasizes working attitude, safety consciousness, creativity and awareness of environmental protection as essential human factors potentially influencing production risks in thermal power plants. Through our analysis, by linking human factors to different types of production risk and supplying corresponding management methods to address these human factors, we offer practical human resource management approaches in the production management of thermal power plants.

“…see Dekker, 2015;Endsley, 2015), Endsley's (1995) three level model of SA currently remains the mostly widely applied in a broad range of high risk domains (e.g. nuclear power plants, Lee, Park, Kim & Seong, 2012;drilling, Sneddon, Mearns & Flin, …”
