Two Tools for Analyzing Coordination Problems To Design for Distributed Work: A Case Study in Urban Air Mobility
Get PDFThe design of a distributed work system can be framed as a set of dynamic coordination problems, where functions need to be developed for actors to synchronize their activities over time. For example, in envisioned Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) operations,coordination problems arise when operators need to synchronize responses with thebehavior of an autonomous aircraft that has lost its communication link. We present ananalysis of the dynamics of this specific coordination problem, showing how uncertaintyin the behavior of autonomous capabilities and the dynamic nature of UAS operationscan create challenges in synchronization. We combine the modeling and simulation framework Work Models that Compute (WMC) with visual analytics to understand howprojection and retrojection play a role in effective synchronization, simulating alternateresponse strategies for coping with these challenges. This combination provides a moregeneral method for analyzing synchronization and identifying functional requirements forcoordination in dynamic environments
Augmented Reality for Technical Operations Field Work: Examining the Development and Effects of Headset Discomfort
Get PDFExtended reality (XR) products such as augmented reality (AR) headsets could aidworkers in many aviation-related fields. One area of current interest is the use of XR toassist Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Operations (Tech-ops) specialistsin their work to maintain key pieces of infrastructure in the national aerospace system(NAS). XR solutions could improve performance and efficiency by enabling innovativemaintenance practices like hands-free collaboration with remotely located experts andremote site and equipment inspections. However, such applications may require extendedperiods of AR use in suboptimal conditions. This might cause discomfort orcybersickness, which could hinder performance and limit the viability of using XR forthese purposes. Accordingly, here, we report key findings from a literature review on thelimits of comfortable XR headset wear time. We also discuss current research being doneto inform the safe usage of XR products throughout the NAS

Identifying Trends in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms, Type of Trauma, and Associated Features: A Latent Class Analysis
No full textThe aim of the study was to identify salient groupings of trauma survivors based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 posttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology. Latent class analysis was used in 365 outpatient mental health trauma survivors. We identified six classes with two spectra—prominent avoidance and negative alterations in cognitions/mood (NACM)—and a resilient class (a plurality). Sexual assaults were more common among avoidance-prominent classes, and suicide attempts and tobacco problems were more common among NACM-prominent classes. Previous studies have found classes differentiated by numbing, but this is the first since numbing was subsumed by DSM-5’s NACM. Our findings suggest that avoidance and numbing are distinct symptoms (consistent with DSM-5) but indicate that current nosology may miss individuals with high numbing and low avoidance despite their distinct suicide risks
Equity-Driven Assessments in Medical Education
No full textFor a more inclusive and just future health care system, equitable assessments must be a fundamental component for all levels of medical education.
Social justice in medical education is crucially dependent upon the methods of assessment to ensure equity. We can classify assessments as formative, which guide future learning, provide reassurance, and promote reflection, or summative, which provide an overall judgment about the competence, qualification for advancement to higher levels of responsibility, etc.1 When we develop assessments in the vein of social justice, we must consider factors such as race, culture, language proficiency, socioeconomic status, and other social determinants of health, along with ability, while attenuating bias and oppression in the evaluation of student learning

Knowledge of HIV Transmission and Prevention among University Students in Pakistan: A Cross-Sectional Study
Get PDFHIV/AIDS remains a significant public health problem internationally, with young adults being especially at risk because of behavioral and knowledge deficits. In Pakistan, cultural inhibitions and suboptimal health education are the main reasons for limited awareness, particularly among university students. This study had the objectives of determining the knowledge level about HIV transmission and prevention among undergraduate students in Kohsar University Murree (KUM) and to investigate correlations with salient demographic variables. A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 510 students aged 18-27 years through a pre-validated, standardized questionnaire with 12 knowledge-based items. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were utilized to determine knowledge levels and demographic associations. Overall, students had moderate knowledge (60 %) of HIV transmission and prevention. Clinical program students (82.4 %), older students (24–27 years, 72.9 %), and married students (81.3 %) all had significantly better knowledge scores. Income and gender had no statistically significant impact. Non-clinical, younger, and single students all showed substantial knowledge gaps. There are enormous differences in HIV-related awareness among university students, especially among the non-clinical and youth demographics. These observations point towards the critical necessity of incorporating holistic HIV education into all academic programs and running targeted awareness campaigns to enhance health literacy within university communities
