Chatbots (sometimes just called “bots”) are the subject of much corporate and public interest today. Many enterprises are looking to get started with chatbot development initiatives to improve communication efficiency as well as reduce operating costs. Current research indicates constantly growing interest in this area and forecasts that 70% of office employees will interact with chatbots daily in 2022. This chapter reports on the challenges inherent in chatbot integration projects and identifies key operational factors for successful chatbot projects, as well as highlighting issues of strategic significance. Different technology adoption and project management models are explored, analysed, and applied in the context of chatbot implementation, and based on an in-depth case study, a model is put forward to aid the manageability of chatbot implementation in other similar environments.

Opioid tapering may be necessary for patients on long-term opioids. Here, the authors presented a patient who had uncontrolled chronic musculoskeletal pain while on chronic methadone. Upon methadone tapering, the patient had been taking methadone for longer than six years and had severe methadone-related adverse effects. Using multidisciplinary interventions of patient education and counseling, physical interventions, and nonopioid medications, patient’s methadone was discontinued after longer than one year tapering with relatively good pain control. The tapering process highlights the importance of pain management during opioid tapering using multidisciplinary interventions to prevent and treat opioid withdrawal and pain relapses.

Target achievement of Complete Systematic Land Registration in Kebumen Regency in 2017 as many as 50,000 fields have been completely completed (100%). The success is inseparable from the role of the leadership and employees of the Land Office of Kebumen Regency. The success of achieving the targets of Complete Systematic Land Registration activities (PTSL) is determined by employee motivation. Factors that play a role in employee motivation include the leadership style and organizational culture. Scientific Writing Research aims to determine the relationship between leadership style and organizational culture on employee work motivation associated with achieving PTS targets. The results of data processing using the correlation test show that there are significant influences and strong influences from each and collectively the factors of leadership style and organizational culture on the work motivation of the Kebumen Regency Land Office employees. This influence proves that the success of achieving the target activities must involve all elements of the employee to be responsible and professionally complete the task. The role of leaders in mobilizing and motivating employees is very important in order to create a positive organizational culture.

Dry Needling is gaining wide popularity as a technique to relieve musculoskeletal pain. It has rarely been used to treat Supraspinatus Calcific tendinopathy. Most treatment techniques focus around Subacromial Corticosteroid needle decompression to improve the outcomes of Supraspinatus Calcification. Our study observed the Elastographic changes along with the Radiographic changes in the Calcification before and after the Dry Needling sessions.

In a dynamic world of office environment where the office is continually changing, there has been a huge need for addressing physical environment comfort of employees to improve their performance, while retaining a happy and healthy workforce. It is against this backdrop that the study was carried out to measure the perceptions of physical environment comfort on employee performance at Durban University of Technology (DUT). A model of office physical elements was used as a conceptual framework to highlight physical environment comfort elements that affects employee performance. The objectives of the study were to measure perceptions of physical environment comfort on employee performance, as well as identify the relationship between physical environment comfort and employee performance. This research adopted a mixed method approach, using the DUT as a case study, with questionnaires and interviews employed as data collection instruments. The target population comprised 81 administrative staff members, including six interviewees who were Head of Departments (HoDs) based at all six DUT campuses. The findings generally indicated a high agreement level with regard to the role of office furniture’s comfort, favourable temperature, good office design and welcoming colours as important in increasing their performance. There were, however, divisions and high disagreements where office furniture’s flexibility is concerned in addition to the strain it caused. Moreover, the amount of noise across offices was found to be quite distracting. It was concluded that the academic administrative staff generally expressed positive perceptions on the importance of physical environment comfort for office employee performance, echoed by the interviewed HoDs. In conclusion, office employees and HoDs expressed positive perceptions on the importance of physical environment comfort for improved performance. This makes it critical for DUT management to address areas of weakness on physical environment comfort for improved productivity.

The purpose of the article is to study prerequisites for the development of preventive measures against office syndrome among women of working age.  Material and methods. The research involved 52 female office employees 21 to 57 years old.  Results. The extended clustering of the original data using EM method with the performance of V-fold crosschecking has shown that female office employees are clearly divided into two clusters depending on the manifestation of office syndrome. Despite our assumptions, their division does not depend on age or length of service in the office, but on the manifestation of office syndrome and behavioral characteristics in the work process. Women assigned to different clusters are characterized by statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences between the level of pain in the joints and spine. The research has found that among female office employees with increased musculoskeletal pain, there are statistically significantly (p<0.05) more women with significant overweight and spinal diseases. They are less likely to take active breaks when working at a computer and a larger percentage of them use information technology for entertainment purposes outside the office for 3-4 hours a day. However, a smaller percentage of them work with a PC for more than 7 hours a day. Women with predominant musculoskeletal pain differ in their lifestyle and point to fundamentally different reasons that stop them from taking measures to prevent the risk of occupational diseases. In particular, among female office employees with no office syndrome, a statistically significant (p<0.05) larger share does not need to expand knowledge about the organization of health care in the office and among them the share of those who lead a passive lifestyle predominates.  Conclusions. Thus, these women are potentially at risk of developing office syndrome and, with the absence of preventive measures, are expected to move to the cluster of women with signs of office syndrome. The results of the research indicate the need for different approaches to planning health measures in the work environment, depending on the presence of office syndrome and the level of their responsible attitude to health in the work process.

Abstract Functional immobility has demonstrated a higher risk of all-cause mortality in geriatric population. It is noted that musculoskeletal pain is one major factor involved with geriatric functional immobility. The fascial distortion model (FDM) utilizes pathognomonic physical gestures to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain. In this case study, a long-term nursing facility patient with significantly prolonged wheelchair-to-bed transfer presented with several upper and lower extremity fascial distortions. After FDM treatment, the patient demonstrated a moderate return of functional mobility. This case presents the utility of FDM treatment in cases of decreased functional mobility due to musculoskeletal pain as well as treatment for patients in skilled nursing facility settings.
