They should provide resistance to various attacks to increase security but also be understood easily to ensure usability. Increasing the security generally reduces usability, so it is necessary to use captchas that will meet both the security and usability needs of users balanced. Within the scope of this study, a text-based captcha scheme that end-users commonly encounter during their daily interactions in mobile applications is selected and investigated to determine both a more robust and usable one for users. Six different text-based captcha types, which were distortion-based, non-distortion-based, dictionary-based, random-based, low contrast, and full contrast, were compared in terms of security and usability. Initially, security tests were applied. Afterwards, user tests were conducted with 30 participants. According to security test results, distortion, low contrast, and random-based captcha types were determined to be more robust, respectively. The most usable captcha type among the secure captcha types was determined as a random string captcha based on the user test results. Thus, it has been found that a balanced level of security and usability can be achieved when mobile application developers choose to use a random string captcha when designing interfaces. Recommendations to guide mobile interface developers were provided based on the findings obtained both from the user study and previous relevant literature.</p>","PeriodicalId":55048,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hfm.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143840608","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}

Then, multiple regression analysis was used to explore the quantitative relationships between the seat dimensions. The results showed that the seat pan inclination, backrest inclination, and seat height are interrelated to form the seat support angle, which determines the human torso–thigh–calf angles in a sitting position and affects the dimension requirements of the lumbar and neck support. The study further proposes a quantitative model relating the key seat dimensions. Research has shown that comfortable seat dimension design cannot rely solely on the design of a single independent seat dimension but requires a unified design of multiple-seat dimensions.

A total of 24 young adults (21–29 years old) and 24 older adults (63–77 years old) participated in an experiment with two different tasks (reading and searching) on smartphones, where each task lasted 1 h. The change in critical fusion frequency (CFF) and the subjective visual fatigue score were used as physiological and subjective indices, respectively, to measure visual fatigue. The results showed that the participants experienced more severe visual fatigue in the reading task than in the searching task on smartphones. Both changes in CFF and increases in subject visual fatigue occurred earlier in the reading task than in the searching task. The participants' visual fatigue increased as the task duration increased, and physiological visual fatigue occurred significantly earlier than did subjective visual fatigue. Compared with younger adults, older adults experienced more subjective visual fatigue when the task complexity was higher and more physiological visual fatigue as task duration increased. Different arrangements of breaks should be considered according to different task types on smartphones to alleviate visual fatigue, and a short break interval every 15 min during the reading task and every 30 min during the searching task is recommended. Older adults not only need to avoid prolonged visual tasks on smartphones more but also should refrain from persisting in continuous visual work. They are in greater need of suspending visual tasks promptly as soon as they initially feel visual fatigue. In addition, designers and developers need to reduce the cognitive load brought by task complexity on smartphones to alleviate the perception of visual fatigue among older adults.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55048,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143831164","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}

Two crucially distinctive manifestations refer to individual and organizational resilience. This study presents a model of how these two types relate to each other and how they relate to antecedents and consequences of resilience. To this end, we carried out a case study of freight road transport, emphasizing the truck drivers' perspectives. Data collection included 14 interviews with drivers and managers of logistics operations, in addition to non-participant observations of drivers' workplaces. Based on a thematic analysis, the model was developed consisting of seven themes: work constraints, investments, individual resilience practices, organizational resilience practices, operational efficiency, human costs, and overall costs. The first two themes are antecedents and the last three are consequences of resilience. The main relationships between the themes are presented as seven propositions for theory-testing. The model suggests three main approaches for a balanced distribution between individual and organizational resilience. These approaches consist of: tackling work constraints, especially production pressures; investing in organizational practices adopting a long-term view; and promoting individual practices that proactively support health and safety. The truck drivers' study offers examples of the applicability of these approaches.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55048,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248406","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}

The study aimed to investigate outdoor workers' perceptions of heat-related risks, changes in protective behavior during hotter seasons, knowledge and awareness of regional heat action plans (HAPs), and protection measures. It aimed to find effective means of communication and strategies for improving heat protection among these workers. We used a validated and structured mixed-method survey questionnaire and one-on-one interviews to assess 140 outdoor workers' heat-related risk perceptions, protective behavior changes during hot seasons, and knowledge of regional HAPs protective measures in April–July 2022. The estimated worker's seasonal average WBGT exposure using meteorological data was 34.4°C ± 0.02°C, which exceeded acceptable limits. Heat was a big concern for outdoor workers, the study revealed. Workers believed that knowing about heat hazards could help reduce individual risks. Many workers were aware of the heat's health risks but felt the nature of their jobs prevented them from taking precautions. Some workers assumed that business owners' concerns about productivity and cooling costs would prevent government measures to safeguard at-risk employees from succeeding. Workers responded more positively to business owners' HAP communications. Workers are more likely to use practical, simple sector-based warning HAPs.

Despite the advantages of existing sequential and hierarchical methods, they decompose tasks into their structure and focus on the order in which tasks are accomplished.

As the complexity of tasks increases, not keeping track of all interactions may result in poor, unwanted outcomes. This research introduces a different approach to TA that decomposes tasks into their constituent functions, describes the functionality of the overall work system, traces (dynamic nonlinear) interactions among functions, and highlights the role of functional variability in forming emergent outcomes. This approach to TA is called functional task analysis (FTA). A case study on nursing work was used to demonstrate the suitability of the FTA approach. The findings of this study show that the FTA approach contributes to task modeling by building a nonsequential, nonhierarchical functional model of a complex task considering dynamic, nonlinear interactions among functions. The FTA also contributes to task description by explaining different ways a task can be accomplished. It also increases the understanding, interpretation, and analysis of how changes in work conditions shape good/acceptable and poor/unacceptable outcomes. The FTA can complement the TA by adding some aspects, including functionality, nonlinearity, dynamics, and emergence, that the TA does not normally consider. The findings highlight how the functional approach to TA can be deployed as an alternative (or complement) to other task analysis methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":55048,"journal":{"name":"Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing & Service Industries","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hfm.21059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142641275","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}
