The idea of automation replacing humans in the workplace has been given considerable attention, while less attention afforded to how people develop a meaningful work life with routine work. In this study we investigate employees, who have had their automated RPA, experienced its influence on and meaningfulness. Concretely, conduct case employees experience process three different organizations ...

Selective attention increased the proportion of time that the attended members of a pair of either simple (gratings) or more complex (movie clips) dichoptic stimuli were visible during binocular rivalry. Lower-level stimulus attributes appear to be more important than meaningfulness in directing attention, which is a finding that may have relevance to the design of head-worn displays.

In this paper we introduce some basic differential models for the description of blood flow in the circulatory system. We comment on their mathematical properties, their meaningfulness and their limitation to yield realistic and accurate numerical simulations, and their contribution for a better understanding of cardiovascular physio-pathology.

Abstract. Sense of coherence (SOC) describes an individual’s ability to deal with life challenges (manageability), comprehend the environment (comprehensibility), and perceive its as meaningful (meaningfulness). We examine measurement invariance (MI) SOC-13 scale across gender age groups in a matched sample N = 1,816 (50% females; range 16–83 years). A two-factor model, common factor for manage...
