Impact of restrictions on parental presence in neonatal intensive care units related to coronavirus disease 2019

Restrictions on parental presence in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially limiting full participation in rounds. While single-family room design helped preserve some parental presence, there were widespread reductions in support staff like therapists and lactation consultants, potentially affecting long-term neonatal outcomes.

Towards the Resilient Operator 5.0: The Future of Work in Smart Resilient Manufacturing Systems

The paper introduces the concept of the "Resilient Operator 5.0," a human operator empowered by technology to ensure manufacturing operations continuity and well-being in challenging conditions. It emphasizes the importance of both self-resilience (biological, physical, cognitive, and psychological) and system-resilience (adaptable human-machine systems) in achieving this goal. The paper argues that achieving worker resilience is crucial for building truly resilient manufacturing systems, particularly in the context of Industry 5.0.
