This study explores the effects of graphical attributes of varying redundancy conditions on decision-making efficiency. Two experimental conditions were developed for the experiment: non-redundant (independent graphical attributes: colour, linear and marker) and redundant (combinations of two and more graphical attributes: colour and linear, colour and marker, etc.). A total of 60 people took part in both experiments and performed two tasks: maximisation and discrimination. The experiments revealed that the addition of attributes, such as colour, marker or linear, decreased response time (RT), but the combination of colour & linear & marker increased RT. This is more significant in discrimination tasks. We provide empirical evidence for the design of time-series data visualisations and encourage the combination of two of these graphical attributes, such as colour & linear, colour & marker or linear & marker, when conditions allow, to improve decision-making efficiency.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"213-222"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139724845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These systems aim to address energy consumption and occupant satisfaction issues related to centralised air-conditioning. Although there are systematic studies on these systems, there is a lack of documentation regarding mediation characteristics between people and the built environment. This article presents a systematic review of PCS using a search of academic literature and patents, classifying PCS based on thermal categories and device typologies while introducing post-phenomenological mediation categories. The results show that most PCS fall into the thermal categories of 'Heating' and 'Cooling and ventilation'. The review also presents a view of the PCS territory based on mediation attributes and technological complexity. Finally, the PCS' characteristics are discussed based on the post-phenomenological concepts of Embodiment, Hermeneutic, and Background providing insights for future research opportunities and PCS development.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"163-186"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139693451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seventy-two physical therapy students without low back pain completed nine performance tests and a 2-hour standing test on two separate days. Participants were classified as transient pain developers (PD) if they reported a ≥ 10mm increase in low back pain on a visual analog scale. Transient back pain was reported by 37.5% of students during the standing test. A cluster of three positive tests, self-rated active hip abduction (somewhat difficult or more), bilateral total hip internal rotation greater than 81 degrees, and non-dominant limb single-leg squat (moderate deviations), demonstrated an increased probability (94.9%) of identifying PDs. Negative findings on the same three tests decreased the probability to 10.7%. Overall, the classification accuracy for the three-test model was 72.2%.

In this systematic review, articles were retrieved from scientific databases including PubMed, Sciencedirect, Web of Science, Scopus, SAGE journals, and Cochrane library using a search strategy. The types of interventions for preventing and reducing MSDs among students published in English up to 2022 were examined, with a comparison of studies in terms of the cultural appropriateness of strategies. Also, studies were categorised based on six intervention types: physical exercise, education, ergonomics, participatory ergonomics, stress management, and multicomponent. Out of the 29 studies included in this review, ten were randomised controlled trials, fifteen were controlled pre-test/post-test studies, and four were pre-test/post-test studies. The articles measured students' knowledge, beliefs, behaviour, good posture/performance, pain intensity decrease, and back care as outcomes. Only two articles were categorised as having moderate cultural adaptation. The results showed that any type of intervention was successful, and two studies were evaluated as having high quality. Our review found evidence of efficacy for interventions aimed at preventing and reducing MSDs in students.Practitioner summary: Musculoskeletal disorders are common problems that affect students of all ages.

However, biomechanical analyses of soft active exosuit designs have been limited. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a soft active back support exosuit on trunk motion and thoracolumbar spine loading in participants performing stoop and squat lifts of 6 and 10 kg crates, using participant-specific musculoskeletal models. The exosuit did not change overall trunk motion but affected lumbo-pelvic motion slightly, and reduced peak compressive and shear vertebral loads at some levels, although shear increased slightly at others. This study indicates that soft active exosuits have limited kinematic effects during lifting, and can reduce spinal loading depending on the vertebral level. These results support the hypothesis that a soft exosuit can assist without limiting trunk movement or negatively impacting skeletal loading and have implications for future design and ergonomic intervention efforts.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"223-236"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11339243/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139933980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty PSBC and 18 SCBC male infantry soldiers volunteered. Body Mass (BM) was measured pre- and post-course, with course physical activity levels (PAL), energy expenditure (EE) and sleep profiles quantified using tri-axial accelerometery. The courses were predominately field-based, involving slow and rapid load carriage tasks, digging and moving casualties. Average daily EE (SCBC = 4020 ± 599 vs. PSBC = 3876 ± 525 kcal.day-1; p>0.05) and BM decreases were similar (SCBC = -3.9 ± 2.9 vs. PSBC = -2.0 ± 2.7 kg; p>0.05). Daily PAL was higher for SCBC than PSBC (2.1 ± 0.3 vs. 2.0 ± 0.3, p=0.041), likely due to greater moderate-vigorous activity levels (p=0.003). Daily sleep durations were variable, but similar across courses (≈5.1 hr.day-1; p>0.05). These data confirm these courses are arduous and can be used to inform course-specific physical screening tests and training to increase course success.","PeriodicalId":50503,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
