It is important in establishing and improving work management and work planning to estimate the arousal level of workers during operation and monitoring tasks. This paper proposes a technique based on experimental results to estimate the arousal level during job execution. In this experiment, both a monotonous low workload task which degrades the arousal level and a high workload task which has...

purpose: this article presents the results of study aimed at devising comprehensive, standard and objective criteria for measuring faculty members' workload. material & method: the indicators for measuring faculty members' workload were collected through a comprehensive review of the literature, a survey of the available documents and methods for measuring workload in the country, and faculty m...

It is important to monitor changes over time in aerobic fitness and obesity in order to target interventions when health deteriorates. We analyzed data from three population studies of adolescents carried out in 1983, 1997, and 2003. Participants were 1050 adolescents from the whole country of Denmark in 1983, 410 in 1997, and 418 in 2003, the two latter cohorts from the City of Odense. VO(₂max...

BACKGROUND Mental workload assessment is a recurrent issue in air traffic control (ATC). Studies of ATC have used either objective aspects, i.e., numbers and distribution of aircraft, or subjective factors, such as self-imposed performance and stress levels, with mixed results. This is partly due to the difficulty in bringing together comparable data pertaining to both air traffic, with its eve...

Background: Occupations that deal with the health and safety of people are always stressful. Job stress and work load are factors that affect staff such as nurses. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between workload and job stress in nurses of Vasei Hospital, Sabzevar City, Iran, in 2016. Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional study was conducted on 80 nurses of Vas...

The P3 latency in an auditory oddball ERP paradigm is known to get prolonged after a few hours of mental task. The present study shows that it takes merely a few minutes of challenging visual mental activity to produce significant changes in P3 latency in the visual oddball ERP paradigm. However, the mental activity results in a shortening of P3-latency almost as often as it results in its prol...

This paper designs evaluation method based on the grey theory which aims at evaluate the usage of Wireless Sensor Networks in rail traffic. With the features of the facts that: The requested data sizes for assessment via grey theory method are not big, distribution rules of the data samples are not obliged ,and the evaluation workload is small , we use grey theory to verify each index mark in c...

  Background: The employees of welfare centers, due to the special conditions of their work, may be exposed to excessive occupational stress and workload . Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of workload and occupational stress on the general health of female employees of public welfare centers.   Materials and Methods: This was a correlational research on 63 fe...

Previous research has suggested that personality traits of the Five Factor Model play a role in worker's response to workload. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of personality traits of first responders with their perceived workload in real-life tasks. A flying column of 269 police officers completed a measure of subjective workload (NASA-Task Load Index) after interventi...
