“…In conclusion, in a consecutive set of studies described in this paper and in a previous one, 14 we established that the USER has good measurement properties for screening cognitive functioning as well as evaluating physical functioning during geriatric rehabilitation. We therefore recommend the use of the USER in geriatric rehabilitation.…”

“…The USER was developed as a classic-test theory instrument for adult rehabilitation 13 and in our previous study we tested its clinometric properties in geriatric rehabilitation. 14 We used confirmatory factor analysis to test structural validity and unidimensionality, and we confirmed that the observational scales measure two underlying independent constructs, in which the items on mobility and self-care belong to one underlying construct. We further showed sufficient content validity, internal consistency, and interrater reliability in geriatric rehabilitation.…”

“…In our previous study, we found the SEM to be 5 and the SDC to be 14. 14 This means that a change of 14.5 points is beyond the measurement error and represents a MIC. We found no ceiling or floor effects either at admission or at discharge.…”

“…For the physical functioning scale, the standard error of measurement (SEM) is 5 and the smallest detectable change (SDC) is 14. 14 The USER also has a set of patient-reported items (on pain, fatigue, and emotion) that can be left out and were not studied here.…”

“…In our previous study on the psychometric properties of the USER, the scales on physical and cognitive function showed moderate to excellent content validity, sufficient structural validity, and excellent interrater reliability. 14 Construct validity, interpretability, and responsiveness have not been established in geriatric rehabilitation.…”

Objective The Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation is a multi-domain measurement with good content validity, structural validity and reliability for measuring physical functioning (mobility, selfcare) and cognitive functioning in geriatric rehabilitation. We aimed to determine the construct validity of both Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation scales and the responsiveness and interpretability of the scale for physical functioning in geriatric rehabilitation. Design Prospective follow-up study embedded in routine care. Setting Four care organisations in The Netherlands. Subjects Patients admitted for inpatient geriatric rehabilitation (2021–2022). Main measures Data collection included the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation, Mini-Mental State Examination, Barthel index, and a global rating scale anchor on recovery. Hypothesis testing was used to determine construct validity and responsiveness. For interpretability, minimal important change and floor and ceiling effects were determined. Results The mean age of participants ( n = 211) was 77 (SD 10.4). Their mean length of stay was 38.6 days (SD 26.3), and 81% returned home. The Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation showed adequate construct validity, as all three hypotheses were confirmed for both scales. The Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-physical function scale showed adequate responsiveness, with all five hypotheses confirmed. The mean change for physical function (scale range 0–70) was 15.5 points (SD 17.1). The minimal important change for Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-physical function was 14.5 points difference for improvement. This scale showed no floor (2%) and ceiling effects (14%) at admission and discharge. Conclusions The Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation showed to be effective for evaluating physical functioning during geriatric rehabilitation as well as screening cognitive functioning. In total, 14.5 points difference has been established as a minimal important change for physical functioning.

In recent years, many governments and companies have gradually launched robotaxi projects to help make transportation systems smarter, improve travel efficiency, and reduce travel costs. Robotaxi is a new mode of travel that replaces human driving with machines, freeing up social labour and enriching people’s travel choices. This study employs the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) to understand the influencing factors of users’ adoption and usage of robotaxis in China to facilitate the broader integration of robotaxis into urban transportation systems. This study surveyed the preferences of 2048 respondents and analysed the data through structural equation modelling. The results indicate that performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, and price value are the factors influencing users’ behavioural intentions, while effort expectancy and social influence affect use behaviour. In contrast, habit is an important factor that affect both behavioural intention and actual use behaviour. Based on the findings, we have proposed practical strategies to improve robotaxi services and updated the UTAUT2 model in the context of robotaxi. We suggest that robotaxi operators can promote user acceptance and use by reducing the difficulty of use, improving the cost performance and the ride experience, and making appropriate publicity and guidance.

This paper examines the use of augmented reality technology in the design of packaging for takeaway food to assist in marketing. The research is divided into three studies for progressive investigation and analysis. Study 1 collected 375,859 negative evaluations of food delivery from the Internet and explored the main reasons that may have impacted the user’s evaluation by Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modeling. Study 2 evaluated the effectiveness of augmented reality packaging by surveying 165 subjects and comparing it with traditional packaging. We conducted a survey of 1603 subjects in Study 3 and used the technology incentive model (TIM) to analyze how augmented reality technology positively impacts food delivery marketing. It has been established that packaging will influence the negative perception of consumers about buying and eating takeout food. Specifically, augmented reality technology can improve negative evaluations by providing a more conducive user experience than traditional packaging. According to our findings, augmented reality technology has improved the consumers’ perception of interaction, perceived vividness, and novelty experience, and achieved the aim of promoting takeaway food retail by improving negative evaluations posted by users.
