High and Low mental workload in the workplace is usually associated with mental fatigue, decreased performance, human error, and even harmful long-term health effects. Among the various MWL assessment techniques, the outcome measures such as questionnaires are easier and more practical in workplace settings. We aimed to compare the three current commonly advocated and used questionnaires. Material and Methods: Three common different outcome measures for evaluation of the MWL are NASA Task Load Index (NASA-TLX), Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT), and the CarMen-Q workload questionnaire. Among them the NASA-TLX is well known and more popular with six subscales that are used extensively in industrial and official workplaces. SWAT is the simplest one with three dimensions. The NASA-TLX is preferable method because of its higher sensitivity, especially in low MWL conditions. The CarMen-Q questionnaire is a new questionnaire with 29 items and 4 subscales that focuses on cognitive workload and mental fatigue. Conclusion: SWAT is the simplest and less sensitive measure than the NASA-TLX and CarMen-Q questionnaires. In contrast, the NASA-TLX is widely used and more known instrument for MWL evaluation.","PeriodicalId":92777,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics international journal","volume":"35 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139603238","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 present study focuses on investigating the role of age-associated influences on workers’ ability to perceive surface slipperiness and its impact on postural balance and slip and fall events while negotiating a ramp. The study was carried out on 32 younger and 33 older workers. All workers’ postural balance and slip/fall events were objectively quantitated with a human motion analysis system and subjectively measured with the perceived sense of slip/fall (PSOF) tool respectively, while they walked up and down a ramp (on a level surface or 0, or at 10, 15, and 20 degrees) on 2 surface coefficient of frictions (dry: 0.76-1.06; moderately slippery: 0.19-0.21). While slip rating scores for the dry surface were comparable between the groups, the older workers significantly (p=0.046) underestimated the slippery surface. The deviation of the subjective surface slipperiness rating from the mean (DSSSR) for each surface was calculated. As expected, the older workers’ objective measure of postural balance was poorer than the younger group when they negotiated the slippery ramp surface. Repeated measure logistic regression analysis showed that the younger group was more likely to slip but much less likely to fall as DSSSR increased. Therefore, a mismatch between perception of slippery surface risk and the actual risk may jeopardize workers’ ability to safely negotiate a slippery ramp surface and thereby make them more susceptible to slip-related fall-injuries.","PeriodicalId":92777,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics international journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140498975","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}

This research introduces a straightforward magnetic biosensor architecture that includes an L-shaped ferromagnetic core with UL dimensions. The design involves an air gap being replaced with highly porous aluminum or copper foam, offering a potentially cost-effective and uncomplicated solution for point-of-care diagnosis based on the magnetic field effect. The foam serves as a medium for hosting biological samples, such as proteins and DNA, which are labeled with high-permeability ferromagnetic nanoparticles. The biosensor operates by detecting labeled biological molecules through magnetic field interactions. The electrical parameters of the system underwent methodical optimization to enhance overall performance. The investigation delved into the influence of various materials on the magnetic properties of the air gap. It also examined the relationships between permeability, output-induced voltage, input voltage, and input frequency. The findings reveal that utilizing materials with elevated magnetic permeability, such as Magnetite (Fe3 O4 ) or Cobalt ferrite (CoFe2 O4 ) ferrofluids, significantly enhances the biosensor's performance by optimizing magnetic coupling between primary and secondary windings. This innovative magnetic biosensor exhibits potential applications in diverse fields, including molecular biology and medical diagnostics. The study contributes valuable insights into the design and optimization of magnetic biosensors, offering opportunities for heightened sensitivity and selectivity in the detection of ferromagnetic nanoparticles labeled biomolecules such as DNA or proteins.","PeriodicalId":92777,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics international journal","volume":"29 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140498051","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}

From 2013 to 2023, there has been an increase in triage visits for behavioral difficulties in the ASL TO3, from 6 to 40 cases per year. Data from the company database show increasing diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder-ODD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-ADHD, and Conduct Disorder-CD in recent years. Therefore, the Pediatric Psychology SSC Service of TO3 decided to work indirectly on the management of dysfunctional behaviors and emotional self-regulation of children aged 3 to 11 years, by activating Parent Training groups oriented to ACT for parents of children who come to triage with symptoms that suggest the presence of ADHD, ODD, or CD, or having a diagnosis themselves. The goal of the intervention was to reduce parental stress, frustration and feeling of loneliness, hyperactivity and compositionality of the children involved, as well as internalizing difficulties and increasing caregiver awareness of possible appropriate educational strategies. The activation of the Parent Training pilot project within an outpatient pathway of the National Health Service has allowed a wide range of the population to be reached, optimizing resources and time to meet the parents’ needs. The results obtained before and after the Parent Training intervention prove its effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":92777,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics international journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68920253","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 main goal of ergonomics, which is especially important for office workers, is to improve the quality of business life and working environments. From this point of view, the importance of ergonomics emerges in different health problems ranging from musculoskeletal problems to psychological disorders. As a reflection of these reasons, within this study’s scope, a survey was conducted on the office workers working in institution A. While questions about personal information are asked in the first part of the survey, there are detailed questions about ergonomics in the second part. The results were very interesting and supported by an additional survey conducted with the office workers of institution B. As a result of the evaluation, it was seen that the knowledge and awareness levels of the office workers about the science of ergonomics were not at the desired level. However, it has been determined that the awareness of the science of ergonomics can be increased with appropriate training, and thus, the health problems arising from ergonomics can be minimized.","PeriodicalId":92777,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics international journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68920263","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}

Significant physiological changes brought on by pregnancy affect many aspects of the body, including biomechanics. During pregnancy, the lower back and lumbopelvic region are particularly prone to pain and musculoskeletal problems. A variety of factors, including weight growth, hormone changes, ligament elasticity, and postural changes, affect how the body moves and put more strain on the musculoskeletal system. Pregnant workers' biomechanical stress at work is made worse by occupational factors like physical demands and poor ergonomics. Various ergonomic solutions have been recommended during pregnancy to reduce discomfort and improve biomechanics. These include auxiliary devices (such as pregnancy belts, support bands), activity adaptations, psychosocial support, workplace modifications (such as adjustable workstations, supportive seats), and education and communication to empower women with knowledge of ideal body mechanics. The use of these therapies throughout pregnancy can increase comfort, preserve musculoskeletal health, and promote general wellbeing. This study emphasises the numerous effects on pregnancy biomechanics and stresses the value of integrating and synthesising already available information. Healthcare professionals, companies, and individuals can significantly reduce discomfort and promote a healthier and more comfortable pregnant experience by implementing evidence-based ergonomic changes.","PeriodicalId":92777,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics international journal","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68920036","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}
