Background The adverse effects of perceived excessive workload (work overload), as one major source of work stress, on health and work performance are well-documented; however, studies that examine how work overload has changed over time are lacking. This study aims to examine the time trends in work overload across…

Many employees would prefer to reduce work time and can be defined as overemployed. However, the concept of overemployment is poorly understood. The purpose of this article is to define overemployment from employees’ point of view, to explain why people work more than they prefer, and to understand the individual…

We investigated the impact of incorporating quantitative reasoning for deeper sense-making in a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) on students' conceptual performance using a framework emphasizing integration of conceptual and quantitative aspects of quantum optics. In this investigation, we compared two…

The ability to rapidly estimate non-symbolic numerical quantities is a well-conserved sense across species with clear evolutionary advantages. Despite its importance, the rapid representation and estimation of numerosity is surprisingly imprecise and biased. However, a formal explanation for this seemingly irrational…

"An unexamined life is not worth living," said Socrates as his own life drew to a tragic close. Even more emphatically, an unexamined education is not worth delivering. Periodically, we need to examine what we are doing and why — starting from the most fundamental of fundamentals. Ograjenšek and Gal (2015, hereafter…

Discrimination accuracy generally increases with the ratio between two quantities; however…

'Ginny Brunton'] Background Overviews of systematic reviews are a relatively new approach to synthesising evidence, and research methods and associated guidance are developing. Within this paper we aim to help readers understand key issues which are essential to consider when taking the first steps in planning an…

The history of the past four decades of the theory and application of additive conjoint measurement (ACM) is characterized by vivid developments of its theoretical foundation (cf. Luce and Tukey, [30]; Krantz et al., [22], [23]; Narens, [40]), industrious developments of statistical and computational implementations…

Substantial guidance is available on undergraduate quantitative training for biologists, including reports focused on biomedical science, but far less attention has been paid to the graduate curriculum. In this setting, we propose an innovative approach to quantitative education that goes beyond recommendations of a…
