Firefighter training requires accurate posture monitoring to reduce injuries and improve performance assessment, yet traditional tracking methods suffer from high occlusion rates and the uniform appearance of trainees. To address these challenges, we...
Youth-led STEM programming depends on skilled adult facilitators who can support authentic teen leadership, yet professional learning for developing these specialized skills remains understudied. Through three cycles of design-based research, we iter...
Obstetric ultrasound (US) training teaches the relationship between foetal anatomy and the viewed US slice to enable navigation to standardised anatomical planes (head, abdomen and femur) where diagnostic measurements are taken. This process is diffi...
Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate intervention, with bystander-initiated Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) being critical for survival, especially in out-of-hospital situations where medical help is often delayed. G...
Virtual Reality (VR) technology is frequently applied in simulation, particularly in medical training. VR medical training often requires user input either from controllers or free-hand gestures. Nowadays, hand gestures are commonly tracked via built...
Laparoscopic surgery demands highly skilled surgeons. Traditionally, a surgeon’s knowledge is acquired by operating under a mentor-trainee method. In recent years, laparoscopic simulators have gained ground as tools in skill acquisition. Despit...
The purpose of this study is to experiment eye tracking in situational awareness assessment in Bridge Resource Management training of ship officers who play a critical role in maritime accidents. The maritime industry focuses on human factor developi...
It is essential to understand the effectiveness of any training program so it can be improved accordingly. Various studies have applied standard metrics for the evaluation of visual behavior to recognize the areas of interest that attract individuals...
The ranking and evaluation of a surgeon’s surgical skills is an important factor in order to be able to appropriately assign patient cases according to the necessary level of surgeon competence in addition to helping us in the process of pinpoi...
Objectives: Error-tracking studies have become an invaluable tool for gaining deeper insights into the patterns, causes, and clinical consequences of errors. In this paper, we examine the long-term impact of analyzing errors at the level of an indivi...
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the gold standard for the treatment of renal stones larger than 20 mm in diameter. The treatment outcomes of PCNL are highly dependent on the accuracy of the puncture step, in order to achieve a suitable renal access a...
Several children struggle with vision difficulties caused by problematic coordination between their left and right eye muscles, i.e., oculomotor dysfunction (OMD). Many OMDs can be improved by training the eyes via physical exercises defined and supe...
Traditional Extended Reality (XR) and Metaverse applications focus heavily on User Experience (UX) but often overlook the role of emotions in user interaction. This article addresses that gap by presenting an emotion-aware Metaverse application: a Vi...
This study presents an augmented reality application for training chest electrocardiography electrode placement. AR applications featuring augmented object displays and interactions have been developed to facilitate learning and training of electroca...
Driving simulators are increasingly being incorporated by driving schools into a training process for a variety of vehicles. The motion platform is a major component integrated into simulators to enhance the sense of presence and fidelity of the driv...
These days, eye-tracking is one of the promising technologies used in different fields such as aviation, arts, sports, psychology and driving for several purposes. Even though it is being used for health purposes, studies involving eye-tr...
We aimed to (a) evaluate the agreement between ultra-short-term and criterion resting heart rate variability (HRV) measures in military trainees, and (b) compare associations between HRV recording lengths and body composition. HRV recordings were per...
This paper illustrates the origin, mission, organization and main activities of the Interdivisional Group of Separation Science (Gruppo Interdivisionale di Scienza delle Separazioni, GISS) of the Italian Chemical Society in occasion of the twentieth...
Minimally invasive facial procedures are widely performed in clinical medicine but remain associated with severe complications such as necrosis or blindness, often resulting from insufficient anatomical understanding and limited procedural training....
In recent years, the rapid development of remote tower technology has made it crucial to accurately assess the situational awareness (SA) levels of remote tower controllers. Such an assessment is significant for controller training and remote tower s...
Background/Objectives: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a methodology that offers a real-time approach to monitoring clinician well-being, but its utility during high-intensity operational periods remains underexplored. This study examines th...
Numbers present persistent challenges in interpreting, yet cognitive mechanisms underlying notation-specific processing remain underexplored. While eye-tracking studies in visually-assisted simultaneous interpreting have advanced number research, the...
Soft skills such as communication and collaboration are vital in both professional and educational settings, yet difficult to train and assess objectively. Traditional role-playing scenarios rely heavily on subjective trainer evaluations—either...
