Specific transfer effects following variable priority dual-task training in older adults
2016
International audience; Purpose: Past divided attention training studies in older adults have suggested that variable priority training (VPT) tends to show larger improvement than fixed priority training (FPT). However, it remains unclear whether VPT leads to larger transfer effects. Methods: In this study, eighty-three older adults aged between 55 and 65 received five 1-hour sessions of VPT, FPT or of an active placebo. VPT and FPT subjects trained on a complex dual-task condition with variable stimulus timings in order to promote more flexible and self-guided strategies with regard to attentional priority devoted to the concurrent tasks. Real-time individualized feedback was provided to e…

Effects of physical and cognitive training on gait speed and cognition in older adults: A randomized controlled trial
2021
Gait speed is a measure of health and functioning. Physical and cognitive determinants of gait are amenable to interventions, but best practices remain unclear. We investigated the effects of a 12-month physical and cognitive training (PTCT) on gait speed, dual-task cost in gait speed, and executive functions (EFs) compared with physical training (PT) (ISRCTN52388040). Community-dwelling older adults, who did not meet physical activity recommendations, were recruited (n = 314). PT included supervised walking/balance (once weekly) and resistance/balance training (once weekly), home exercises (2-3 times weekly), and moderate aerobic activity 150 min/week in bouts of >10 min. PTCT included the…
Finding Usability Problems in ERP Application Help and End-user Training Material
2017
Over the last decade, many organisations have implemented the standardised information system called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). ERP systems offer great promise for business process improvement, system integration, cost reduction and logistics efficiencies. While millions of dollars have been spent on the implementation of ERP systems, the potential users are still not able to use it. Usability problems are the big barrier preventing end-users from achieving required productivity. This research, based on 80 respondents, tried to find out the usability problems in ERP application Help and end-user training material. The results indicate that 56% of end-users did not consider the ERP …
Investigating the success of ERP systems in Pakistan : end-users' perspective
2016
The global business environment is changing rapidly, and organisations from developing countries such as Pakistan have to re-engineer their business processes to meet the challenges of increased competition and rising customer expectations. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems intend to deliver many benefits, such as business automation, reduced operating costs, accurate demand forecasts, better decision-making and improved customer service. However, organisations adopting ERP systems encounter many types of problems that may lead to failures in processes, expectations and interactions. In order to address these failures, researchers have identified the critical success factors in the…
Tietojärjestelmän käyttöönottoprosessi loppukäyttäjä- ja kehittäjätiedon pohjalta : tapaus Foster Wheeler Energia Oy
2014
Pro Gradu tutkimus käsittelee tietojärjestelmän käyttöönottoprosessia case yrityksen Foster Wheeler Energia Oy:n Engineering osastolla. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on löytää kahden käyttöönottoprosessin sekä kirjallisuuskatsauksen pohjalta tietojärjestelmän käyttöönottoprosessin Best Practice suositukset. Kohteena oleva tietojärjestelmä on case yrityksessä tarkoitus jalkauttaa neljään eri yksikköön maailmanlaajuisesti. Tutkimuskysymyksien avulla pyrittiin selvittämään, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat positiivisesti käyttöönottoprosessissa tai vaikeuttavat sitä sekä selvittämään käyttäjäkeskeisen suunnittelun vaikutuksia käyttöönottoprosessissa. Tutkimus on toteutettu tapaustutkimuksena laadullisin …
