Today, the demand for telework is increasing, and the use of non-face-to-face office work is more common. However, dissatisfaction with the loss of productivity in non-face-to-face work is an issue. As a cause of dissatisfaction in non-face-to-face communication, it is indicated that there is a lack of "noticing the existence, actions, and feelings of collaborators without strain" (awareness), which was common in face-to-face communication. Therefore, we conducted a web-based questionnaire survey of teleworking office workers on factors that contribute to productivity in non-face-to-face work. Our results showed that awareness of voice in non-face-to-face work needs improvement.
To improve indoor air quality, it's necessary to accurately control the body odor emitted by humans living under various environmental conditions and lifestyles. The purpose of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the effects of changes in physical quantities due to insufficient sleep on the emission of human bioeffluents causing body odor and the perceived air quality. The experiment involved two conditions of sleep time. Different biogenic substance concentrations and sensory evaluations of the odor in the chamber were obtained when the occupants' sleep times was different, even for the same CO2 concentration in the room.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
