Industries with high risk-potential like nuclear power plants need to manage abnormal potentially critical situations on team level for assuring reliable and safe operating. Safety is looked at as a "dynamic non-event" (Weick & Sutcliffe, 2001) and therefore has to be continually built on by the operating team through adaptive actions in relation to the situational context. The team processes and behaviors used for achieving shared mental models (or common situation awareness) are especially interesting for good problem solving, decision making and adaptation. In our study we collected data from eight four- to seven-person control room teams working in a nuclear power plant in Switzerland during their annual training in the interactive simulator of the plant control room. Simulations of two different scenarios were videotaped. The simulator scenarios generate an unexpected unstandardized situation (situations that were not covered / could not be solved solely by standard operation procedure) the team has to solve in order to stabilize the plant. Additionally, we got individual data by a questionnaire to capture individual characteristics of the team, especially regarding professional experience. The results still have to be considered as explorative in nature, due to the small sample size and time consuming coding of further additional team behaviors.

Key technology shifts such as big data, social technologies, internet-of-things, and mobile are reshaping the landscape in which engineers operate. This paper will present a vision of software and systems engineering of the future, specifically considering development of complex large-scale real-time embedded systems. We will discuss the future of software/systems craftsmanship, and how this impacts the day-in-the-life of an engineer. In order to address challenges related to speed, quality, and cost we see organizations responding by driving initiatives in the following areas:Agile – deliver more often with focus on business outcomeLean – take out non-value adding tasksCollaboration – a culture of open information sharingInnovation – create room for risk-takingDevOps – breaking down organizational silosWe also see development practices evolving to respond to the changing landscape in the areas of architecture, steering/governance, people/teams as well as how to manage development platforms.

In the lives of the elderly, work and the related socio-economic conditions are a significant, and often essential, part of life. The quality of life is a cumulative and multifactorial indicator. Therefore, to evaluate it, macroergonomic analysis is particularly applicable. Quality of life is thus an aggregating factor, which generally describes factors in an undoubtedly subjective manner. Currently existing methods propose to ask questions about the quality of working life in categories such as: wages, incentive systems, relations with supervisors and co-workers, market position of the company, opinions on the organization expressed by others, and organization and nature of the work. However, the evaluation of individual categories helps to a small extent to identify particularly important systemic relationships as well as expectations directed at the technical and organizational environment. Therefore, this paper presents a synthesis of methods, utilizing, among others, Macroergonomic Organizational Questionnaire Survey (MOQS), Karasek’s Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), NIOSH Job Stress Questionnaire and NASA Task Load Index. This combination results in a research tool that not only assesses the fulfilment of each category, but also recognizes the needs of people surveyed in the specific areas.

In HMI design, several parameters have to be correctly evaluated in order to guarantee a good level of safety and well-being of users (humans) and to avoid health problems like muscular-skeletal diseases. ISO Standards give us a good reference on Ergonomics and Comfort: ISO 11228 regulation deals with several parameters for evaluating Postural Ergonomics in manual loads’ push/pull, in manual loads’ lifting and carrying and in repetitive actions. Those parameters can be synthesized in a “Postural Load Index” that represents the Ergonomics level of examined posture. Nothing has be done, by ISO, in order to give a method/criterion for evaluating comfort performances of products and workplaces. More than 100.000 scientific papers dealing with comfort and discomfort can be easily found in main scientific databases and most of these speak about relationship between environmental factors (like temperature, humidity, applied forces etc.) and perceived comfort/discomfort. Several papers follow the assumption that there is a relationship between self-reported discomfort and musculoskeletal injuries and that those injuries affect the perceived comfort; however, the theories relating comfort to products/processes and products/processes’ design characteristics are rather underdeveloped. One of the most recent and interesting paper about comfort perception and its evaluation is the Vink-Hallbeck (2012) one in which the Moes’ comfort perception model (2005) has been developed and improved. In our paper, a simplified model of comfort perception, that seems to work well with the Vink-Hallbeck one, has been proposed and takes into account four aspects that strongly affect the global comfort perception: (B) – User Biomechanics/Posture, (P) - Physiologic factor, (E) – Environment contribute, (C) – Cognitive factor. Each of these aspects can be split in sub-aspects that have to be taken into account in order to be evaluated and correlated to subjective comfort perception. This paper want to explain all those sub-aspects, analyze the state of the art about their evaluation and propose an easy-to-use framework for weighing and evaluating contributes coming from cognitive, postural and physiologic comfort perceptions (no environment’s factors have been studied) to the global comfort perception.

The demographic structural shift drives a change towards an increasing employee orientation, to which the German businesses have to find strategic and operative answers. Businesses acts and efforts are promising, if organizations make sure that ergonomic findings are kept. There is no unique standard approach to solve the demographic challenge yet. The following article represents core theses to a demographic personnel work, as well as possible fields of action, which guarantees businesses a solid handling of the demographic change. The consideration of due to the demographic change altered parameters at designing the qualification, personnel progress and career prospects, are an important field of actions and will be examined at full length as a result.

Workplace design not only influences the people’s feeling, but also the work or task performance, knowledge innovation, and the employees’ loyalty and commitment to their employer. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the subjects’ seating preference at workplace and the environmental factors impact their decision. A field survey was carried out on the campus of Dresden University of Technology, and 119 subjects participated in this study. Furniture placement in three different functions of room was employed to conduct this survey. The self-pictured seating preferences indicate that room function influences the subjects’ decision of seating area. Having sense of control over physical workplace and privacy significantly impacted the subjects’ decisions. However, subjects are not always aware the environmental factors affect their behavior. Subjects attracted by outdoor view and good lighting condition in a general way.

It has been shown that several gait parameters are predictive for fall risk in older persons. There is evidence that footwear can influence foot position and gait patterns, especially in older persons. We carried out experiments to study the effects of type of footwear on gait patterns in persons aged 60+. We found an association between the type of footwear and certain gait parameters that are predictive for falls. In conclusion footwear can increase fall risk. Footwear for older people should be designed in such a way that risk of falls is minimized.

Adherence to the systemic approach to improving working conditions is increasingly becoming a central prerequisite for the successful operation of business organizations. By adopting systemic principles to improve the quality of working conditions, organizations gain access to effective tools for eliminating hazards and strenuousness and consequently acquire the ability to grow and improve themselves. Any measures adopted within that framework are undertaken in recognition of the roles and tasks of employees seen as the internal clients of specific processes.The article demonstrates that improvements can be achieved by assessing risks. In this context, risk assessment is viewed as a tool for gathering information on irregularities. By assessing risks, businesses can identify any hazardous, deleterious and strenuous factors which require improvement (through corrective and preventive measures) and whose scope and characteristics depend on the level of occupational risk. The use of occupational risk as a criterion for selecting improvement measures helps identify adequate technical means and organizational arrangements to be applied to bring the working environment to the required quality standard. In particular cases, such means and arrangements should be complemented by using personal protection items. An essential consideration in improving working conditions is to incorporate any selected elements of the systemic approach that are critical for shaping the working environment. Only then will the proper improvement measures be effective.

For employees to allow the improvement of safety in their own organization, researchers have developed a learning cycle to enhance the ability to notice that it becomes a safety hazard. Safety is important aspect organization’s activities. Organization that had caused the accident has a sense of distrust. It will start losing users and customers as a result. It is necessary to have great safety promotion activities as an organization in order to avoid such a situation, but the activity can be conducted more efficient by personnel of a handful instead of driving, all employees to participate. However, some educators conduct safety training to all employees to avoid increasing costs. Therefore, by building a system that enables learning, employees devised a cycle to allow safety training while reducing the cost after finishing the initial training by building the software with the goal to enable employee to learn themselves. Finally, authors have devised a system that enables the safety training while reducing the burden on educators.This system consists in a "factor analysis" and "analysis software". Factor analysis is a technique that a phenomenon might cause an accident (extracted factors). It is necessary to consider in a variety of perspective like relationships and working environment and so on for analysis. However, it is possible to achieve without the feedback of the analysis it is difficult. By entering into analysis software factors that have been extracted, the software will give us information, such as trends and perspectives missing. To repeat the cycle is performed factor analysis with reference to the information, and to enter into further analysis software. Then employees are going to learn a way of thinking about safety. Taking advantage of it, the employee is going to notice and avoid mistakes and accidents themselves and able to review the day-to-day operations or near-miss cases, and accidents. When applied to five groups of participants who have no experience of factor analysis at all the following results have been obtained. First, researchers compared the number of factors to be extracted. The second run time added a factor of 182% delay on average compared to the first. Similarly, the third run time was the result 252% of the second, and 456 percent for the first time for a third time. Researchers concluded that as the number of factors to be extracted increase, the more the information will be needed serve as a reference when to take safety measures.

In this paper adaptive customization by color changing LEDs is investigated. Two forms of customization are studied: one system reacts on the color of subjects’ clothes and one system was influenced by a color blending App. Both are built up in a real car. The emotional responses were recorded before and after the test with 70 subjects. Emotions as attraction, hope and joy were found as reactions and 58.6% preferred this approach of steering the interior lighting. Half of the sample preferred the color mixing and half the automatic color detection system showing that there are two clear interaction preferences. The expectations recorded prior to the test influenced the level of experience massively and also interfered with the subjects’ emotions.
