In an era in which public organizations grapple with an increasing number of challenges, the recent global pandemic serves as a poignant illustration, of the need for organizational resilience within such public sector organizations. However, it’s important to note that resilience is inherently contextual and contingent upon the specific circumstances and types of organizations. Enhancing resilience within public organizations necessitates a thorough evaluation of existing research in the field. Consequently, we conducted a systematic literature review across three databases and leading journals in public management. From this qualitative content analysis, we developed a comprehensive framework to enhance public organizations’ resilience. This framework includes 25 distinct attributes, such as staff training and empowerment. Our findings underscore the importance of management, organizational design, and the judicious allocation of human and non-human resources in ensuring organizational resilience. Our study contributes to a deeper understanding of the current knowledge on public organizational resilience and proposes a research agenda to advance understanding and practice in this area. Join us in uncovering the essential elements necessary for creating resilient public organizations capable of withstanding adversity.
Background: The knee is one of the most common areas to suffer injuries or be affected by surgery. Physiotherapy rehabilitation was shown to support recovery, but evidence guiding optimal rehabilitation practices is limited. To recommend appropriate exercises, it is essential to understand the musculoskeletal requirements involved in both physiotherapy and activities of daily living (ADLs).ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate and compare the knee joint kinematics, joint forces and muscle activity in knee flexors and extensors during selected rehabilitation exercises and ADLs.MethodsKinematic and kinetic data from 30 healthy participants were collected during 20 different tasks. Full-body musculoskeletal simulations were performed to estimate peak knee joint angles, angular velocities, joint reaction forces, and muscle activity of the knee flexors and extensors.ResultsComparatively high requirements were observed for lunges, squats, stair walking and gait. Medium requirements were observed for sitting down and rising from a chair. Low requirements were observed for balance shifts and variations of the single leg stand.ConclusionOverall, ADLs like gait and stair walking show surprisingly high requirements compared to many exercises employed in physiotherapy. These findings are a step towards biomechanically informed exercise selection and the development of personalized rehabilitation programs.
Sport-tracking applications can enhance physical activity but may also induce stress through social comparison. This study examines how social comparison features influence user experience (UX), focusing on motivation, stress, and mental well-being. A survey of 101 German sport-tracking app users assessed intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, perceived stress, self-efficacy, enjoyment, social comparison orientation, and UX. Results reveal that higher social comparison consistently lowers intrinsic motivation, raises extrinsic motivation, and increases stress levels, while positive UX boosts intrinsic motivation and enjoyment and indirectly buffers stress. In particular, users who frequently evaluate their performance against others reported greater pressure to perform, heightened frustration, and a stronger focus on external validation. integrating adaptive feedback, and offering customizable social elements. Overall, the study contributes to understanding how UX and motivational dynamics interact in digital health tools and provides guidance for developing psychologically informed, health-oriented app environments. Conversely, app designs prioritizing mastery and personal progress over competitive ran kings foster autonomy, competence, and relatedness, supporting mental health and long-term adherence. These findings highlight the ambivalent effects of social features and underscore the need for sport-tracking apps to minimize harmful comparisons and promote self-determined motivation through supportive, user-friendly features. Practical implications include designing for sustainable engagement and well-being rather than exclusive competition.
Background/Objectives: Digital anamnesis tools, including chatbots, are increasingly being
developed and evaluated, yet their implementation in German medical practices remains
limited. This study examines the acceptance of medical history-taking assisted by artificial
intelligence (AI) among the German population. The objective is to derive implications
for integrating such systems into digitalization strategies of medical practices. Methods:
This study is based on an online survey of the German population, aged between 18 and
74 years, conducted in two independent cross-sectional waves (trend design) in 2024 and
2025 with n = 1000 respondents in each year. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance
and Use of Technology (UTAUT), three hypotheses regarding the use of AI in medical
history-taking were developed and tested using linear regression models. Results: Both
waves reveal a high acceptance level of AI-supported anamnesis systems for people aged
between 18 and 74, regardless of whether a chatbot is used in medical practice (Scenario 1)
or at home (Scenario 2). The latter received slightly less approval for the intention to use
(mean intention scores: 3.50 and 3.45, range from 1.0 to 5.0) than Scenario 1 (3.59, 3.56).
The indices of Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), and perceived Social
Influence (SI) determine the intention to use a chatbot with the strongest correlation of the PE index (Scenario 1: ß =0.466, Scenario 2: ß = 0.475). Most respondents (73% and
75%) expressed a favorable opinion for digitally storing medical history data within their
electronic health record (EHR). Conclusions: The findings suggest that gender- and age-
specific differentiation—aside from considering the needs of older adults—may be less
relevant for designing digitalization strategies than previously assumed. Instead, the focus
of medical practices should lie on the practicability of the tool used. Despite currently low
EHR utilization rates in Germany, medical practices may expect broad patient approval
regarding the digital storage of medical history data.
The following chapter provides teachers with clear guidance on key aspects to consider when introducing
XR. It is structured into three main sections. First, the technical prerequisites and conditions are outlined,
focusing on aspects that should be taken into account prior to procurement as well as during integration
into everyday teaching practice. Building on this, organizational factors that are essential for successful
implementation are examined. Finally, the didactic integration of XR is addressed, highlighting the
aspects that are critical for effective educational use. The findings from the VReduMED project are
complemented by insights from international studies on this topic.
Numerical modeling is a valuable tool to research shear-induced aerosol generation inside the human respiratory system. While the volume of fluid method and Eulerian wall film models have been used to predict the stripping of particles from the mucus film, sufficient validation data is lacking. Here, we present an experimental method to create such validation data. A film of mucus mimetic hydrogel with an initial thickness of 1 mm covering the floor of a rectangular channel (75.5 mm 25.5 mm 3 mm) was exposed to an airflow with a flow rate of 9.5 and 21.6 L/min. The number of created particles and the emergence of waves on the mucus surface were measured. Shear-induced aerosol generation was triggered successfully and caused an increase of mean particle flow. Different wave profiles were observed at varying film depths.
