Hall","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1003616","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1003616","url":null,"abstract":"3D Building Information Management (BIM) and digital twin models are a growing trend in the construction industry. It provides numerous benefits, such as improved collaboration, visualisation, and accuracy. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using these technologies to support identifying and managing human factors integration (HFI) issues.HFI is a critical aspect of construction project management as it involves integrating human factors, such as physical and mental capabilities, into the design and construction of buildings. Integrating HFI considerations helps ensure the safety, health, and well-being of construction workers and occupants of the building. However, managing HFI issues can be a complex and time-consuming task.3D BIM and digital twin models allow for the creation of detailed, accurate, and interactive representations of the building and its components. This enables stakeholders to visualise the HFI issues in the building and assess their potential impacts on the construction workers and occupants. The digital twin model can also be used to simulate different scenarios and evaluate the possible effects of HFI issues on the building's performance.Furthermore, using 3D BIM and digital twin models enables the integration of HFI considerations into the design and construction process. This permits the identification and resolution of HFI issues at an early stage, reducing the risk of costly delays and rework. These technologies also facilitate collaboration among stakeholders, improving communication and coordination.Overall, 3D BIM and digital twin models offer a powerful tool for identifying and managing HFI issues in construction projects. It enables stakeholders to visualise HFI issues and evaluate their potential impacts, facilitating the integration of HFI considerations into the design and construction process and ultimately helping to ensure the safety, health, and well-being of construction workers and building occupants.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128962750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Students Quality Assessment of the Interactivenesses of Virtual Teaching and Learning Platforms","authors":"Mohammed Aminu Sanda","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1002155","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1002155","url":null,"abstract":"This research provides insights on students’ perspectives on the functional interactivenesses of the virtual platforms that serve as online digitized classrooms used for teaching and learning in tertiary academic institutions, and which usage has gained global significance since the advent of COVID-19 pandemic. In this vein, there has been a significant global systemic and structural shift towards virtual education among tertiary institutions, with the requisite restructuring of the face-to-face teaching-learning mechanisms into new online delivery systems. Considering the fact that such new online systems, which are digitized educational instruction media, are mostly designed by third parties who are not the direct users, there is a need to provide users, namely teachers and students, the space to share their evaluative perspectives on the effectiveness of the current approaches to such instructional design, in terms of the quality of interactivenesses they provide users. This is because, systemic interaction in virtual education, as it is with all distance education systems, includes the way the user, especially the student, interact with the online platform, fellow students, lecturers, and the educational contents of programme. In this respect, systemic interaction is recognized as a key factor in determining the quality of the online platform’s functionality and effectiveness, and by implication, the reputation of its delivery. Thus, taking cognizance of argument in the extant literature that in distance education, as it is with virtual education, the transactional distance between students and teachers is not determined by their respective geographical locations, but by the quality of the interactive relationship and the balance between dialogue and other instructional events. As such, it important for designers of virtual teaching-learning platforms to understand the implication of such transactional distance, especially from the students perspectives, that should be effectively managed to engage the students to enable quality interactive teaching-learning. In this research, therefore, a model reflective of this dynamic interaction was firstly developed to provide a conceptual framework. Guided by this framework, a study was conducted among six hundred and eighty-seven graduate students in a Ghanaian university, a structured questionnaire was used to ask the students to assess the quality of their interaction with the virtual platform used in teaching them throughout the semester, from the perspectives of its enablement of connectivity with colleagues, derivation of sense of community and personalization, ease of communication and contents following, and how all these factors inform the quality of teaching-learning outcome, in terms of the effectiveness of systemic interaction and delivery reputation. The conceptual framework was tested using the Using the AMOS-based structural equation modelling approach.

The key to success in coping with this change, which can be seen in all industries, is to break up old structures and venture something new. The ability to adapt and innovate is becoming a central success-critical factor in entrepreneurial activity. In order to continue to achieve market success and ensure sustainable growth in an extremely dynamic and disruptive environment, companies and organizations are called upon to proactively shape change. In addition to the establishment of flexible working models and agile processes, the increased generation and integration of knowledge into and around technical systems in the course of targeted competence development of employees is indispensable. The introduction and use of technical systems thus must go hand in hand with the flexibilization of innovation and collaboration processes as well as the development of employee skills in order to generate the currently missing socio-technological link – for companies´ added value and for the benefit of people.

{"title":"Using Human factors approach to evaluate patient-centered cancer care","authors":"Safa Elkefi, Onur Asan, Tina W F Yen","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1002186","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1002186","url":null,"abstract":"Patient-centered care (PCC) approaches are critical for the delivery of high-quality care in cancer care where the therapeutic alliance between patients and the oncologists is frequent over extended periods of time. The concept of patient-centered care has received increased attention since the publication of the 2001 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report Crossing the Quality Chasm. In this study, we create and evaluate a new framework for patient-centered care in cancer using human factors approaches. Many initiatives focused on developing technologies that help foster PCC by increasing patients’ access to information and facilitating self-monitoring and patient convenience. This paper makes an important contribution to the literature by historically examining the evolution of the definitions of care approaches from disease-centered care focusing on curing the diseases to patient-centered care satisfying patients’ needs to person-centered care. Instead of treating people like victims of diseases, this model recognizes their need for more than one professional to support them emphasizing their capabilities and potential to improve their own health by themselves. It also provides a different and complementary way to the visit-oriented approach furnishing more accessible and continuous care over time, Our contribution also covers summarizing the existing measures adopted to measure its components and finally suggests a socio-technical framework based on the human factors approach to measuring PCC effectiveness. Our approach to measuring PCC is grounded in the conceptual framework we are suggesting that evaluates the effectiveness of patient-centered care based on a socio-technical perspective. We link the cognitive perception of patients towards PCC (Cognitive Sensory Input) to their exposure to external factors (Exposure) that may affect their (Cognition) behavior. A holistic approach recognizing health care as a dynamic socio-technical system in which sub-elements interact with each other remains necessary to better understand the system and its constraints in cancer care. We use a case study to emphasize the importance and need of such a human factors-based framework in providing a better quality of care and improving health outcomes. Achieving high-quality care is a complex pursuit in any setting especially for cancer care and improving the patient journey requires an integrated system of care and productive interactions among many system levels. By understanding the work system components, the design and integration of tasks, technology, and clinical processes can be reviewed to better support the respective needs of individuals while optimizing system performance. A supportive work environment and a highly engaged workforce are highly correlated with improved quality of patient-centered care and hospital performance. At the population level, case managers, navigators, quality officers, and administrators may track outcomes across patients.This f","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"269 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133978267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), MSDs seem to be prevalent in construction, mining, and industry. These injuries are frequent in work situations where there is exposure to work activity risk factors, such as: standing posture for long periods of time, awkward joint postures (e.g., bending and twisting), repetitive movements, application of hand and finger force, exposure to vibrations and cold, manual handling of loads or no recovery periods between tasks. In this study, an Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA) was carried out to understand the working conditions of workers at the MCG transportation factory unit, making part of metalworking industry, in Portugal. The objectives of the study were: the characterization of the metalworking industry regarding the risk of developing MSDs, the characterization of musculoskeletal symptoms self-reported by workers, the identification of the most problematic risk factors concerning each task assessed and, finally, the definition of an action plan to solve the identified problems. To characterize the tasks and workers, several methods/techniques were used, namely, free/systematized observations, non-structured interviews with workers, image/video recording and a questionnaire (adapted from the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire) specifically developed for this purpose. To assess and quantify the risk of developing MSDs, different methods, such as Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Rapid Upper-Limb Assessment (RULA), Revised NIOSH lifting equation, Revised Strain Index), ACGIH Hand Activity Level and the 2D Biomechanics, were used, to accommodate the specificities of each task. For data processing the SPSS© software was used and descriptive analyses were performed using measures of location and dispersion. The Chi-square test and Cramer’s V coefficient were used to assess associations between variables (demographic/work-related characteristics) and reported MSD symptoms. A significance level of 0.05 was adopted as a criterion to reject the null hypothesis. For the application of the above-mentioned methods the ErgoWeb EnterpriseTM software was used. All workers (N=18) agreed to participate in the study and the privacy of each participant was respected. Ten tasks were analyzed and assessed. Overall, the body regions with the highest percentage of complains were lower back (83,3%), neck (50%), upper limbs (hand/fist (50%) and shoulders (44,5%)). The results obtained corroborated data obtained from several studies. There was a positive association between work demands and complaints of pain in various body regions.

This paper takes the bar chart as an example to further evaluate the memory effect of visual decoration in visualization, and puts forward four assumptions: ① the visualization using visual decoration has better memory; ② The position of visual decoration will affect the memory effect; ③ The colour of visual decoration will affect the memory effect; ④ The visual position will affect the memory effect under the same visual decoration. The results show that assumptions 1, 2, 3 and 4 are valid, which proves that visual decoration can improve the memory of visualization, and the location, colour and type of visual decoration will affect the memory of visualization.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121084429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cardiothoracic surgery provides the chance to live longer with cardiovascular disease. Proper use of clinical protocols, regular clinical evaluation, medication review, improved modifiable risk factors, psychological support, and supervised physical exercise can enhance the longer-term effects of surgery. Additionally, a healthy lifestyle can improve modifiable risk factors and enhance longevity. Despite the great effort of the clinical teams to encourage patients towards healthy habits after surgery, one year after surgery some patients need to be readmitted to the hospital due to avoidable complications. This paper presents a digital conversational agent designed to reinforce the advice about protective behaviors provided by the clinical team, contributing to improving and sustaining health outcomes during the first year after surgery.A Design Science Research Methodology was used to integrate the clinical teams' experience and knowledge, and the patients' knowledge into the final artifact. A needs assessment was conducted to identify improvement opportunities in the cardiothoracic surgery service. A systematic literature review was used to characterize the dimensions of the solutions adopted in previous research, and an interdisciplinary team was assembled to address them comprehensively. Two semi-structured interviews were conducted with the relevant stakeholders (clinical team and patients). Additionally, a survey of theories that explain patient behavior change was done to support the personalization of content delivery. Afterward, a platform to provide the intervention was developed in accordance with stakeholders' requirements.Literature review and semi-structured interviews showed that physical activity and a healthy diet influence modifiable risk factors. Thus, these were the behaviors selected as targets of the intervention digital conversational agent, which is being designed based on the behavior change wheel framework.This work intends to incorporate a Behavior Change Theory into the algorithm definition to improve the comprehension of the intervention's effects and the patient's profile over time. The iterative research approach was chosen to continuously improve the artifact's robustness, sustainability, adoption, and usability by having all the stakeholders at the center of the design process.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121166500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
