The aim was to determine whether the Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) is suitable for evaluating ride quality. For this purpose, we implemented the already investigated MCA and compare whether the algorithm has a positive effect on the SDLP. When the MCA was used, the SDLP were reduced, but the mental workload and rider state remained the same. In addition, we used exploratory adjective pairs as a semantic differential. These also showed a positive tendency when using a dynamic platform with this MCA. This study thus showed that the SDLP is suitable as an objective criterion of riding quality in motorcycle riding simulation.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"41 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":"114986447","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}

Using a semi-structured interview approach, data was collected from forty head porters and analysed qualitatively. Most of the head porters were found to view the head portering activity as a business which could be deemed a blessing due to its non-stringent requirements as an employment subsector. Most of them were also found to classify their tasks as a job with enhanced job security due to its non-seasonal and non-capital-intensive characteristics, and also, its non-academic certification requirement. It was concluded that the head portering task serves as a subjectively “good” job-engagement pathway for the less-educated youths and thus, serves as a business that helps alleviate unemployment in Ghana.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"1 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":"130921919","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}

However, controls with equivalent physical properties may be perceived as functioning differently depending on their visual or acoustic appearance. To address this issue, the present study investigated how the size, brightness and loudness of pushbutton switches affect the perceived operating force. Two simple pushbuttons (standard and test) were presented side by side in a virtual environment and actuated with a 3D haptic device. The simulated mechanical properties of the pushbuttons (force-displacement characteristics) corresponded to those of real switch buttons. Three experiments were conducted with different groups of subjects. Physical characteristics of the standard button were kept constant and physical size, brightness and loudness of the test button were systematically varied respectively in all 3 experiments. Participants were instructed to press the standard and the test push-button one by one and to judge the perceived force for test push-button compared to the standard one in a 2-alternative-forced-choice task. Based on these judgments, the required operating force of the test key was adjusted using a simplified adaptive staircase procedure until the force of the test key varied by the point of subjective equality. Based on the subjective equality, the perceived operating force for the experimental condition was calculated. The results showed main effects of key size, brightness and loudness on perceived operating force. Consistent with findings from basic research (size-weight illusion), perceived operating force was higher for smaller keys. Additionally, perceived operating force was reported higher for higher brightness or higher loudness. Overall, the results suggest that psychophysical methods are suitable for objectively measuring the user experience of interacting with controls in application contexts.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"86 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":"130950731","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}

Over 10 degrees of lateral curvature in the anteroposterior plane is already regarded as abnormal and scoliosis by the American Scoliosis Research Society. Scoliosis can be congenital, developmental, or degenerative. However, over 65% of the scoliosis cases were idiopathic. Scoliosis generally develops in the thoracic spine and/or the thoracolumbar area of the spine. One of the factors of scoliosis is the skeletal muscle around the aforementioned area of the spine. If the muscle strength between the left and right paraspinal muscles is imbalanced, internal pressure will develop and cause scoliosis. Though the risk of curve progression is the highest during puberty, adolescents with mild scoliosis (Cobb’s angle between 10 and 19) are generally closely monitored. With the increasing mobile phone usage among adolescents, it is very likely that adolescents with mild scoliosis develop poor posture during their prolonged screen time. This may affect the skeletal muscle development in the spine, causing an imbalance between the left and right paraspinal muscles, further accelerating the curve progression of scoliosis. To slow down or prevent the curve progression, biofeedback posture training has been developed by our research team. Early adolescents sat in front of a computer screen with animated videos as biofeedback to monitor their muscle activities of the paraspinal muscles. They underwent 30 sessions of biofeedback posture training, each session consisting of 3 minutes baseline assessment and 5 trials of 5-minute posture training.Currently, 18 adolescents with mild scoliosis have completed our training. 13 out 18 of them have their spine curve progressed less than 5 Cobb’s angle. In addition, 6 of them even reduced their spine curve by more than 5 Cobb's angle.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"24 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":"125930991","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}

The failure of certain faults can lead to a cascade of failure effects. In order for the crew to quickly locate the fault, quickly isolate the fault in the shortest possible time, and eliminate the impact of the failure, it is necessary to consider the cockpit human-machine interaction design comprehensively. At present, designers mostly analyze the impact of failure based on design documents, and the work is complicated and prone to omissions and errors. Therefore, this paper proposes a model-based human-computer interaction design method for civil aircraft cockpit to help designers quickly conduct cross-system impact analysis, so as to make the design more effective and correct.The overall architecture of the model adopted by the model-based civil aircraft cockpit human-computer interaction design method is mainly divided into the failure state layer, the system function layer and the physical component layer. The failure state layer mainly describes the different failure states of each function of the system, and the correlation between the failure state and the alarm information of the unit. The system functional layer mainly describes the functions of the system and their internal associations, in addition, the functional cross-linking relationships between different systems are also described at this layer. The physical component layer mainly describes the physical components and related physical architecture required for the realization of each function of the system, and correlates the control points and crew alert information that can be controlled by the crew.Since the spread of failure will lead to many alert messages, if the primary message is displayed at the same time as the secondary message, it will be difficult for the crew to quickly determine the true root cause fault and take appropriate countermeasures. Therefore, when designing the crew alert, the designer can analyze the failure propagation through the model, comprehensively consider the cockpit crew alert effect, and avoid excessive alert information and interference with the flight crew.In order to ensure the flight safety of the aircraft, various control devices are designed in the cockpit, which provide a channel for the interaction between the crew and the aircraft system, and facilitate the pilot to adjust the operating state of the aircraft system. When designing the control points, the rationality and effectiveness of the setting of the control points of the crew can be analyzed through the model, so as to reduce the impact of failure as much as possible and avoid excessive load on the crew.Model-based human-computer interaction design method for civil aircraft cockpit takes system functions as the core, supports failure states and physical components, and correlates crew alarm information and control points. This approach can help designers quickly perform cro","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"110 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":"125387671","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}

Furthermore, the ISO 27701, provides specific data privacy controls, allowing the organization to demonstrate effective privacy data management. A challenge organizations face is how to comply with information security and privacy policies and procedures together with the accomplishment of their mission. In this paper, we argue this can be achieved with an Enterprise Architecture (EA) framework. Particularly, the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) provides a methodology to develop EA artifacts, however it lacks the tools amenable to enforce information security and privacy.

Several approaches have been proposed and in the recent literature, the System-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) and Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) stand out. These have been applied both separately and integrated with other methods for risk analysis. This study aims to provide an overview of the literature related to the application of FRAM and STAMP integrated with other methods. Papers from various scientific resources, including Scopus, IEEE, Compendex and INSPEC, Google Scholar, and Espace ÉTS from 2004 to 2021, in English, were consulted. The keywords used to narrow our search were FRAM, STAMP, STPA, and risk analysis. The results show that FRAM and STAMP have been used in combination with other methods such as fuzzy logic, Monte Carlo Simulation, bow tie, and model checking. Their combination with other methods has enhanced their efficiency and capability in risk analysis and provides better and more precise outcomes for some specific contexts of study. These combined proposed approaches have been applied and validated for specific contexts in specific studies. Therefore, the generalization and validation of the combined methods in different contexts could be an outlook for future studies.","PeriodicalId":402751,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Systems Interaction","volume":"1 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":"129178216","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}
