How recreational farm operators use dynamic capabilities to respond to COVID-19 pandemic.

Unlabelled: The outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic has devastated economic activities around the world. The tourism industry is facing severe challenges, such as reduced tourist flow and the lack of tourist consumption at destinations. Recreational farms are one of the business types of agricultural tourism in Taiwan and have the characteristics of small and medium-sized agriculture businesses.

Determining Work-Rest Schedules for Visual Tasks That Use Optical Head-Mounted Displays Based on Visual Fatigue and Visually Induced Motion Sickness Recovery.

This study aimed to determine work-rest schedules for visual tasks of different lengths by evaluating visual fatigue and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) using an optical head-mounted display (OHMD). Thirty participants were recruited to perform 15 and 30 min visual tasks using an OHMD. After completing each visual task, participants executed six levels of rest time.

Artificial neural network can improve the accuracy of a markerless skeletal model in L5/S1 position estimation during symmetric lifting.

This study investigated whether using an artificial neural network (ANN) method for L5/S1 position estimation based on the Kinect markerless skeletal model can produce more accurate data than measurements using the original Kinect skeletal model during symmetric lifting tasks. Twenty participants performed three symmetric lifting tasks twice at three vertical lifting height paths. Their postural data were simultaneously collected by a Kinect and a reference motion tracking system (MTS).

Multimodal Integration of Active Learning in the Veterinary Classroom.

Historically, pre-clinical professional veterinary instruction has relied heavily on didactic methods. With the shift toward competency-based education in health professions teaching, instructors at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine are exploring alternative engagement strategies to focus on learner outcomes. In this article, we report on the integration of competency-based active learning techniques in a large-lecture setting, along with preliminary outcomes from the student perspective.
