Ergonomic adequacy of university tablet armchairs for male and female: A multigroup item response theory analysis

Brazilian university tablet armchairs, often based on international standards, may not suit students well due to anthropometric differences between sexes. This study developed a scale to compare ergonomic adequacy for male and female students, with the potential to significantly impact the future of school furniture. A closed-ended questionnaire containing a four-point Likert scale was administered to 258 students, covering aspects such as seat, backrest, tablet arm, extension, material holder, and general features. The questionnaire's discriminatory capacity and item difficulty were assessed using the Multigroup Item Response Theory. The items presented satisfactory values of factor loading (F>0.3), commonality (h2>0.2), discrimination (ai>0.7), and difficulty (bi) ∈ [-4.105;4.208]. Furthermore, the items cover information in a good region above and below the mean (-4 <θ < 4) for both genders. The scale presented eight levels ranging from no adequacy (θ ≤ 29.99) to maximum adequacy (θ ≥ 90.00). Male and female exhibited different response patterns, indicating opportunities for furniture improvement for each gender. For example, female often disagree more strongly with ergonomic characteristics at lower levels than male, particularly regarding seat height and backrest width. Male and female responded differently, suggesting varied adequacy needs even at the same adequacy level. These findings could guide Brazilian manufacturers and regulators in producing school furniture considering students' diverse body dimensions and comfort, quality, and safety perceptions.

ArtiSential® laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus single-fulcrum laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Which minimally invasive surgery is better?

In recent years, many minimally invasive techniques have been introduced to reduce the number of ports in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), offering benefits such as reduced postoperative pain and improved cosmetic outcomes. ArtiSential® is a new multi-degree-of-freedom articulating laparoscopic instrument that incorporates the ergonomic features of robotic surgery, potentially overcoming the spatial limitations of laparoscopic surgery. ArtiSential® LC can be performed using only two ports. This study aims to compare the surgical outcomes of ArtiSential® LC with those of single-fulcrum LC. This retrospective study compared ArtiSential® LC and single-fulcrum LC among LCs performed for gallbladder (GB) stones at the same center, analyzing the basic characteristics of patients; intraoperative outcomes, such as operative time, estimated blood loss, and intraoperative GB rupture; and postoperative outcomes, such as length of hospital stay, incidence of postoperative complications, and postoperative pain. A total of 88 and 63 patients underwent ArtiSential® LC and single-fulcrum LC for GB stones, respectively. Analysis showed that ArtiSential® LC resulted in significantly fewer cases of surgeries longer than 60 minutes (30 vs. 35 min, p = 0.009) and intraoperative GB ruptures (2 vs. 10, p = 0.007). In terms of postoperative outcomes, ArtiSential® LC showed better results in the respective visual analog scale (VAS) scores immediately after surgery (2.59 vs. 3.73, p < 0.001), and before discharge (1.44 vs. 2.02, p = 0.01). ArtiSential® LC showed better results in terms of surgical outcomes, especially postoperative pain. Thus, ArtiSential® LC is considered the better option for patients, compared to single-fulcrum LC.

Comparative analysis of the efficiency and ergonomics of wired and wireless ultrasound systems

The form factor of an ultrasound device with a wireless sensor has become firmly established in the standards for equipping medical institutions in recent years. In the Russian science literature there is a limited number of works on the practical application of such systems and a description of their advantages and disadvantages. It is important to evaluate the capabilities of a wireless ultrasound device in diagnosing urgent conditions.Purpose of the study: to compare the effectiveness, advantages and ease of use of wireless ultrasound diagnostic sensors in relation to stationary devices. A comparative analysis of the wireless ultrasonic sensor "Uprobe-C5PL" (Sonostar, China) with stationary devices "DC-70" (Mindray, China), "CX-50" (Philips, Netherlands), "Logic E9" (GE, USA). A total of 40 patients were studied. The comparison was carried out based on the following characteristics: comparison of measured organ sizes, identification of pathological conditions, consistency of results between several medical experts, ergonomic characteristics and ease of use.Results: there was no statistically significant differences (Mann– Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction, p &gt; 0.05) and a strong correlation (r = 0.99; p &lt; 0.01) between the measured values of organ sizes and pathological structures. The wireless sensor showed the highest diagnostic sensitivity – 91.7% and accuracy – 97.5% in detecting free fluid in the main cavities. A high agreement of results between expert was revealed (Kappa-Cohen coefficient, K = 0.836).Conclusion. The wireless ultra-sound sensor is not inferior to stationary devices in identifying free fluid and other pathological conditions within the framework of urgent studies. At the same time, the wireless form factor increases ease of use in confined spaces due to the mobility of the diagnostician and the autonomy of the device. When routinely examining a large number of patients, a wireless sensor is less convenient and informative than high-end devices.

It is the habit not the handle that affects tooth brushing - a randomised counterbalanced cross over study with young and healthy adults

ObjectiveTo assess the effect of the toothbrush handle on video-observed toothbrushing behaviour and toothbrushing effectiveness.MethodsThis is a randomized counterbalanced cross-over study. N = 50 university students and employees brushed their teeth at two occasions, one week apart, using either a commercial ergonomically designed manual toothbrush (MT) or Brushalyze V1 (BV1), a manual toothbrush with a thick cylindrical handle without any specific ergonomic features. Brushing behaviour was video-analysed. Plaque was assessed at the second occasion immediately after brushing. Participants also rated their self-perceived oral cleanliness and directly compared the two brushes regarding their handling and compared them to the brushed they used at home.ResultsThe study participants found the BV1 significantly more cumbersome than the M1 or their brush at home. (p < 0.05). However, correlation analyses revealed a strong consistency of brushing behavior with the two brushes (0.71 < r < 0.91). Means differed only slightly (all d < 0.36). These differences became statistically significant only for the brushing time at inner surfaces (d = 0.31 p = 0.03) and horizontal movements at inner surfaces (d = 0.35, p = 0.02). Plaque levels at the gingival margins did not differ while slightly more plaque persisted at the more coronal aspects of the crown after brushing with BV1 (d = 0.592; p 0.042).DiscussionThe results of the study indicate that the brushing handle does not play a major role in brushing behavior or brushing effectiveness.

Transport and mining machinery cabins’ ergonomic evaluation as a path to its redesign

Transport and mining machinery cabins are still not well adapted to their users, while checklists for their evaluation are not common in the literature. This article proposes a new checklist for ergonomic evaluation and tests its universality empirically with a sample of 96 transport and mining machine operators. The objective of the article is two-fold. First, the article checks whether there are anthropometric dimension differences between different machines’ operators. Second, statistical significance testing regarding items in the proposed checklist is performed to check its universality. Significant differences have not been found between anthropometric dimensions of transport and mining machine operators. Group comparisons prove that mining machines have better ergonomics characteristics of the chair, manual controls and vision field. The recommendation for crane designers is to examine mining machines solutions and analyze the possibility of adapting these solutions, due to anthropometric fit. Wide usage of the checklist is recommended.

Electric underwater tools for sun coral management

Sun coral, identified as Tubastraea coccinea and Tubastraea tagusensis, are invasive marine species originally from the Pacific Ocean that have become a significant threat to native biodiversity and ecosystems in Brazil. The rapid growth and unique reproduction strategies of Tubastraea species have facilitated their success as invasive species. In the past two decades, Brazil has experienced a notable loss of biodiversity, partially attributed to invasive species, as reported by the Brazilian Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Current management efforts primarily involve manual removal, often employing sledgehammers and chisels, carried out by environmental government agencies, in partnership with NGOs and volunteers. However, the need for more efficient management strategies emphasizes the important role of engineering and technology in improving environmental management. To address this issue, our work focuses on the development and prototyping of two underwater tools: an impact hammer and a rotating brush. These tools are designed with ergonomic features, operating time, and size considerations suitable for use by SCUBA divers. Our prototypes have successfully met the required specifications and offer potential for large-scale manufacturing, promising more effective measures for controlling invasive sun coral in Brazil.

Current Issues Related to Anthropometry in Engineering

Anthropos and Metrikos both mean "human" in Greek, which is where the term anthropometry comes from. Anthropometry is employed in a variety of fields, including apparel and textile design. For anthropometric evaluations, a current, thorough, and community-specific anthropometric normative-reference standard is necessary. In health care, ergonomic design is utilised to reduce pain and illness. Misalignments between humans and machines result in pain, accidents, biomechanical stress, tiredness, and musculoskeletal injuries. Designing for the anthropometrics of end users improves long-term viability. The human body comes in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Manual measurement and 3D scanning procedures, on the other hand, are inefficient and expensive, making precise body measurements difficult. This is especially true for head-worn medical devices. Manual measurement and 3D scanning are inefficient and expensive, making precise body measurements difficult. Grip strength and force were determined using hand measurements. Anthropometric parameter estimate is more precise when a 3D model is used to boost pinnae features. While numerous anatomical features have been gathered to aid in the ergonomic design of wearable devices, there is still a lot more work to be done. In three dimensions, the segment masses and torso Centre of Mass (COM) may be calculated. Researchers tracking mobility would benefit greatly from the ability to locate the body COM using a weighted sum of segment masses. Design features such as comfort and usefulness are crucial. Ergonomic characteristics like taller seats with front slopes and saddle chairs encourage good posture, movement, and alternation. In the creation of wearable technologies, using outdated anthropometric reference standards may be insufficient. This review discuses common issues related to anthropometry in engineering which includes the human body, anthropometric parameters, anthropometric measurements, the force plate method, ergonomic design, and body dimension. The goal is to give a broad overview of the subject.

Convolutional neural networks to classify human stress that occurs during in‐field sugarcane harvesting: A case study

AbstractAssessing human stress in agriculture proves to be a complex and time‐intensive endeavor within the field of ergonomics, particularly for the development of agricultural systems. This methodology involves the utilization of instrumentation and the establishment of a dedicated laboratory setup. The complexity arises from the need to capture and analyze various physiological and psychological indicators, such as heart rate (HR), muscle activity, and subjective feedback to comprehensively assess the impact of farm operations on subjects. The instrumentation typically includes wearable devices, sensors, and monitoring equipment to gather real‐time data of subject during the performance of farm operations. Deep learning (DL) models currently achieve human performance levels on real‐world face recognition tasks. In this study, we went beyond face recognition and experimented with the recognition of human stress based on facial features during the drudgery‐prone agricultural operation of sugarcane harvesting. This is the first research study for deploying artificial intelligence‐driven DL techniques to identify human stress in agriculture instead of monitoring several ergonomic characteristics. A total of 20 (10 each for male and female) subjects comprising 4300 augmented RGB images (215 per subject) were acquired during sugarcane harvesting seasons and then these images were deployed for training (80%) and validation (20%). Human stress and nonstress states were determined based on four ergonomic physiological parameters: heart rate (ΔHR), oxygen consumption rate (OCR), energy expenditure rate (EER), and acceptable workload (AWL). Stress was defined when ΔHR, OCR, EER, and AWL reached or exceeded certain standard threshold values. Four convolutional neural network‐based DL models (1) DarkNet53, (2) InceptionV3, (3) MobileNetV2 and (4) ResNet50 were selected due to their remarkable feature extraction abilities, simple and effective implementation to edge computation devices. In all four DL models, training performance results delivered training accuracy ranging from 73.8% to 99.1% at combinations of two mini‐batch sizes and four levels of epochs. The maximum training accuracies were 99.1%, 99.0%, 97.7%, and 95.4% at the combination of mini‐batch size 16 and 25 epochs for DarkNet53, InceptionV3, ResNet50, and MobileNetV2, respectively. Due to the best performance, DarkNet53 was tested further on an independent data set of 100 images and found 89.8%–93.3% confident to classify stressed images for female subjects while 92.2%–94.5% for male subjects, though it was trained on the integrated data set. The comparative classification of the developed model and ergonomic measurements for stress classification was carried out with a net accuracy of 88% where there were few instances of wrong classifications.

Highly sensitive and ultra-durable microfiber-based sensor with synergistic conductive network for motion detection

Smart wearable devices have applications in diverse fields, including sports, medicine, electronic skin, and human–machine interactions. However, the effective integration of flexible sensors into clothing to create practical wearable devices remains a formidable challenge. Thus, this study designed a resilient and flexible sensor featuring an innovative “island-bridge”-structured conductive network. The remarkable flexibility and adaptability of the proposed sensor allows for its seamless integration into various clothing styles, thereby preserving the original aesthetics and comfort of the garment. Consequently, it facilitates real-time monitoring of physiological and environmental data while enhancing ergonomic characteristics. In this study, electrospun fibers were meticulously modified using MXene and carbon nanotubes, resulting in their physical and chemical integration and the formation of a dependable conductive network. The island-bridge design significantly improved the sensor performance, which achieved a remarkable gauge factor of 30.5, fast response time of 57 ms, and expanded detection range of 0–570 %. Furthermore, owing to the exceptional elasticity of the electrospun fibers, the sensor demonstrated outstanding durability, maintaining consistent sensing performance even after 65,000 draw cycles. Thus, this study presents a novel approach for designing and fabricating flexible sensors and highlights their potential for various practical applications.

Ergonomic Assessment of Robotic versus Thoracoscopic Thymectomy.

Introduction: Robotic and thoracoscopic surgery are being increasingly adopted as minimally invasive alternatives to open sternotomy for complete thymectomy. The superior maneuverability range and three-dimensional magnified vision are potential ergonomical advantages of robotic surgery. To compare the ergonomic characteristics of robotic versus thoracoscopic thymectomy, a previously developed scoring system based on impartial findings was employed. The relationship between ergonomic scores and perioperative endpoints was also analyzed. Methods: Perioperative data of patients undergoing robotic or thoracoscopic complete thymectomy between January 2014 and December 2022 at three institutions were retrospectively retrieved. Surgical procedures were divided into four standardized surgical steps: lower-horns, upper-horns, thymic veins and peri-thymic fat dissection. Three ergonomic domains including maneuverability, exposure and instrumentation were scored as excellent(score-3), satisfactory(score-2) and unsatisfactory(score-1) by three independent reviewers. Propensity score matching (2:1) was performed, including anterior mediastinal tumors only. The primary endpoint was the total maneuverability score. Secondary endpoints included the other ergonomic domain scores, intraoperative adverse events, conversion to sternotomy, operative time, post-operative complications and residual disease. Results: A total of 68 robotic and 34 thoracoscopic thymectomies were included after propensity score matching. The robotic group had a higher total maneuverability score (p = 0.039), particularly in the peri-thymic fat dissection (p = 0.003) and peri-thymic fat exposure score (p = 0.027). Moreover, the robotic group had lower intraoperative adverse events (p = 0.02). No differences were found in residual disease. Conclusions: Robotic thymectomy has shown better ergonomic maneuverability compared to thoracoscopy, leading to fewer intraoperative adverse events and comparable early oncological results.
