SpringerLinkInvestigating the effect of intelligent assistance systems on motivational work characteristics in assembly - Journal of Intelligent ManufacturingIntelligent assistance systems (IAS) are designed to counteract rising cognitive demands caused by increasingly individualized manufacturing processes in assembly. How IAS affect work characteristics which are crucial for promoting work motivation of employees is yet unclear. Based on the cyber-physical systems transformation framework, the model of routine-biased technological change, and a comprehensive model of work design, we expected in- and decreases in motivational work characteristics (MWC) when working with IAS. Furthermore, we posited a buffering effect of the option of voluntary use on decreasing knowledge characteristics. Applying an online case study with experimental vignette methodology (EVM) allowed us to identify effects of the IAS on MWC before it is widely implemented. 203 German and British blue-collar workers evaluated an assembly workplace according to three experimental conditions (work without IAS, work with IAS, work with voluntary use of IAS). We identified enhanced feedback from the job and information processing in work with IAS in contrast to a traditional assembly workplace but found no restrictions (or elevations) in terms of other task (i.e., autonomy) or knowledge characteristics (i.e., job complexity, problem solving, specialization, skill variety). Thus, our results indicate that the IAS improves some motivational work characteristics of the assembly workplace, although it misses the primary goal of cognitive relief. Our study highlights the need for work design theories that specify the effect of IAS on motivational work characteristics and the potential benefit of IAS in assembly of the future.

Yesterday PhD-student Jacinda Choy's systematic review on "Dosages of Swallowing Exercises in Stroke Rehabilitation: was published in Eur Arch ORL which included the analysis of 54 includes studies (28 randomised controlled trials, 8 non-randomised controlled trials, 12 pre/post studies, 3 retrospective case controls and 3 case studies.

Results showed inconsistent reporting of intervention dosage, with intensity the least consistently reported dosage component. While swallowing intervention was most commonly provided five times per week for four weeks, there was a wide breadth of type, frequency, intensity and duration of swallowing exercises reported. Dosage under-reporting and variation was particularly observed in “standard care” co-interventions or control groups. Results indicate the need for consistent and comprehensive dosage reporting in dysphagia studies, and for further research into evidence-based principles to optimise swallowing exercise dosages.

SpringerLinkDosages of swallowing exercises in stroke rehabilitation: a systematic review - European Archives of Oto-Rhino-LaryngologyPurpose To investigate the dosages of swallowing exercises reported in intervention studies on post-stroke dysphagia through systematic review. Methods Five electronic databases were searched from inception until February 2022 with reference tracing of included studies. Studies were included, where adults with post-stroke dysphagia received rehabilitative, behavioural swallowing exercises, pre/post outcomes were reported, and intervention dosage was described in detail, including frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise. Two reviewers independently screened studies and rated quality using ASHA Levels of Evidence tool. Data was tabulated and narratively described. Results 54 studies were included with a total 1501 participants. Studies included 28 randomised controlled trials, 8 non-randomised controlled trials, 12 pre/post studies, 3 retrospective case controls and 3 case studies. Results showed inconsistent reporting of intervention dosage, with intensity the least consistently reported dosage component. While swallowing intervention was most commonly provided five times per week for four weeks, there was a wide breadth of type, frequency, intensity and duration of swallowing exercises reported. Dosage under-reporting and variation was particularly observed in “standard care” co-interventions or control groups. Study strengths included following PRISMA guidelines, providing a comprehensive review of swallowing exercise methodology and dosages, and including non-English studies. The limitation was lack of meta-analysis due to the heterogeneity of included studies. Conclusions Dosages of swallowing exercises are inconsistently reported and vary significantly in post-stroke dysphagia studies. Results indicate the need for consistent and comprehensive dosage reporting in dysphagia studies, and for further research into evidence-based principles to optimise swallowing exercise dosages. Systematic review registration number 131294

Hi everyone,

A (reluctant) newbie to #mastodon, I am setting up camp here now in the event that #twitter breaks down...

I 'm hoping this place can be an efficient, rewarding, friendly, fun platform to communicate about some of my favourite topics, such as #science #biodiversity #plants #ecology #mountains #AlpineEcology #GlobalChange #ClimateCrisis #NatureCrisis #WomenInStem #EquityInStem #WomenInScience #ScienceChatter #PhDChat #ProudSupervisor

Congratulations to PhD candidate Talia Newland who submitted her thesis today.

Her research, which focussed on exploring approaches to forensic analysis of arid sandy soils such as found in Western Australia, was carried out in collaboration with Dr Kari Pitts from ChemCentre.

You can find out more about her work in this open access preprint on ChemRxiv doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2021
